"The DNR operated access is located on 238th street just east of Lofton Ave. N.\nAnglers fish from shore along the shoulder of 238th street along the north shore of the lake. The area adjacent to the inlet from Moody Lake is especially popular. Some anglers also fish from shore along Lofton Ave N. in the N.W. bay near the outlet. Please respect the shoreline restoration area near the outlet and stay out of the fenced area. Use caution when using this area as Lofton Ave N. is a busy county highway with cars traveling at highway speeds.\nFisheries standard lake survey in 2018.\nStock 81 pounds of Walleye annually.\nThis lake contains Eurasian watermilfoil. Remove any visible plants from your boat, trailer, or other boating equipment before leaving the lake.\nCommon Carp and Bullheads are found in this lake. As a result, water quality can be poor at certain times of the year. The access is small, but well suited to the lake. Walleye fishing can be good at times. Vegetation growth can limit shore angling, especially later in the summer."

"California State Route 173; former California State Route 2 and the last stand of the dirt State Highway\nThis past weekend I drove a portion of California State Route 173 east of CA 138 to the closure gate near Mojave River Forks Reservoir. CA 173 is notable for being a former portion of CA 2 and having the last four miles of dirt State Highway still on the books in California.\nCA 173 is a 25 mile State Highway which begins at CA 138 near Cajon Pass and ascends to CA 18 in the San Bernardino Mountains. Presently CA 173 is the only State Highway that has a segment that has a dirt surface between Post Miles SBD 7.5 to SBD 11.5 near Mojave River Forks Reservoir. Unfortunately said four mile segment of CA 173 has been closed to traffic since 2011.\nReportedly the route of CA 173 was originally built as an alternate haul road to Crest Drive through Waterman Canyon for the Lake Arrowhead Reservoir Project. Lake Arrowhead Reservoir began construction in 1904 and wasn't completed until 1922.\nLake Arrowhead History\nPart of what became CA 173 appears on this 1908 USGS Map east of Cajon Pass.\n1908 USGS Area Map\nThe present route of CA 173 was adopted into the State Highway system in 1933 when Legislative Route Number 59 was extended east of Cajon Pass.\nIn 1934 the route of LRN 59 east of LRN 61 near Wrightwood to CA 18 was signed as CA 2. The original description of CA 2 between Santa Monica to Lake Arrowhead can be seen in a 1934 Department of Public Works document on Page 20.\n1934 Department of Public Works announcement of the Signed State Highways\nCA 2 appears over the present route of CA 173 on the 1938 State Highway Map.\nCA 2 was shifted off of LRN 59 east of Cajon Pass onto LRN 188 by 1958 leaving the future route of CA 173 as an unsigned State Highway. This change can be seen by comparing the 1957 State Highway Map to the 1958 Edition.\nDuring the 1964 State Highway Renumbering CA 2 was truncated to CA 138 near Wrightwood. What was CA 2 eastward was signed as CA 138 to CA 18 near Crestline. CA 173 was designated over the remainder of LRN 59 to CA 18 near Lake Arrowhead. These changes can be seen by comparing the 1963 State Highway Map to the 1964 Edition.\nReportedly the dirt segment of CA 173 was heavily damaged in the 2003 Willow Fire. The Willow Fire eroded the dirt portion of CA 173 to a degree that it was ultimately permanently closed in 2011 with two steel gates being erected at both ends. Supposedly Caltrans still grades the dirt portion of CA 173 but I find that highly unlikely, but I'll explain below.\nMy approach to CA 173 east was from CA 138 west near Silverwood Lake.\nCA 173 follows the course of the West Fork Mojave River and barely resembles a State Highway with very thin shoulders and asphalt of poor quality. The route of CA 173 picks up the West Fort Mojave River at the face of Silverwood Lake Reservoir. Silverwood Lake was impounded in 1971.\nCA 173 east closely follows the terrain of the Mojave Desert to Lake Arrowhead Road. Lake Arrowhead Road continues north to Hesperia whereas CA 173 continues directly east towards the San Bernardino Mountains.\nTraffic on CA 173 eastbound is advised of the closure ahead.\nThe Mojave Forks Dam can be seen ahead as CA 173 approaches it's closed dirt segment. Mojave Forks Dam was constructed in 1974 at the confluence of the West Fork Mojave River and Deep Creek.\nThe pavement of CA 173 ends at a junction trailhead for the Pacific Crest Trail.\nThe closure gate of the dirt segment of CA 173 has some heavy erosion that appears not to have been touched for several years (hence my statement above). Interestingly the dirt segment of CA 173 appears to have an oiled earth base that is top layered with dirt. Its kind of a shame not being able to drive the dirt portion. Dirt State Highways were a common occurrence when I lived in Arizona and I would be up for trying the closed segment of CA 173 if it were to ever reopen. .\nCA 173 CA 2 California LRN 59\nLabels: CA 173 CA 2 California LRN 59\nHere's a pic from 2007, when the road was still in pretty good shape.\nhttps://pbase.com/pderocco/image/111204647\nBuilt and paid for by over taxed Californian people and now taken away by worthless politicians!\nI often run the unpaved section of the 173, and from what I can tell the road is still being maintained. Fallen debris are removed as well as grading. Unfortunately I don't run it enough to tell you how often such maintenance occurs.\nChallenger Tom said…\nSupposedly there is about 30-40k devoted annually for grading to maintain the dirt segment of 173 as a fire evacuation route."

"FJ Sayers Dam Master Plan Revision / Missions / Dams & Recreation / Stillwater Lake\nDistrict Contact Info\nEd Race, P.E., East Section chief, Susquehanna River Projects\[email protected]\nCorps of Engineers National Water Safety Program\nStillwater Lake's dam is an earthfill structure, 1,700 feet long and rises 75 feet above the streambed, with a spillway and gate controlled outlet. The reservoir has a storage capacity of 11,600 acre feet at spillway crest, and controls a drainage area of 36.8 square miles. The project reduces flood heights on the Lackawanna River, downstream of the dam and on the Susquehanna River, downstream from its confluence with the Lackawanna River.

Engel\nRandom House (Audio)\nFour experts on the American presidency examine the three times impeachment has been invoked—against Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Bill Clinton—and explain what it means today.\nImpeachment is a double-edged sword. Though it was designed to check tyrants, Thomas Jefferson also called impeachment \"the most formidable weapon for the purpose of a dominant faction that was ever contrived.\" On the one hand, it nullifies the will of voters, the basic foundation of all representative democracies. On the other, its absence from the Constitution would leave the country vulnerable to despotic leadership. It is rarely used, and with good reason.\nOnly three times has a president's conduct led to such political disarray as to warrant his potential removal from office, transforming a political crisis into a constitutional one. None has yet succeeded. Andrew Johnson was impeached in 1868 for failing to kowtow to congressional leaders—and, in a large sense, for failing to be Abraham Lincoln—yet survived his Senate trial. Richard Nixon resigned in August 1974 after the House Judiciary Committee approved three articles of impeachment against him for lying, obstructing justice, and employing his executive power for personal and political gain. Bill Clinton had an affair with a White House intern, but in 1999 he faced trial in the Senate less for that prurient act than for lying under oath about it.\nIn the first book to consider these three presidents alone—and the one thing they have in common—Jeffrey A. Engel, Jon Meacham, Timothy Naftali, and Peter Baker explain that the basis and process of impeachment is more political than legal. The Constitution states that the president \"shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors,\" leaving room for historical precedent and the temperament of the time to weigh heavily on each case. This book reveals the complicated motives behind each impeachment—never entirely limited to the question of a president's guilt—and the risks to all sides. Each case depended on factors beyond the president's behavior: his relationship with Congress, the polarization of the moment, and the power and resilience of the office itself. This is a realist view of impeachment that looks to history for clues about its potential use in the future."

"In the United States, the word \"impeachment\" is merely the term for the proceeding that begins the process of removing an official from the government. Thus, while this particular section of the Constitution sets the broad outline for what is expected of a federal judge (that he or she sit in \"good Behavior\"), other officials can be impeached as well, including the President of the United States himself (see Article II, Section 4). The process of what is colloquially known as impeachment contains two steps. The first step, the one that is technically the impeachment, is taken by the House of Representatives. By a simple majority, the House can vote to impeach a federal official. This process is akin to an indictment in an ordinary criminal proceeding. Then, once the official is impeached, the Senate holds a trial to determine if the official should be convicted, in which case the official is removed from office. The Senate, however, needs a two-thirds majority to convict. Very few federal officials have ever been impeached, and even fewer have been convicted and removed from office. By way of example, President Bill Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives, but he was not convicted by the Senate. The impeachment of federal judges, in fact, is often an even more murky process than the impeachment of other officials. While Article II, Section 4 contains some vague guidelines for what warrants impeachment proceedings – and this section relates to federal officials in general – Article Three only explains that judges are supposed to remain in office only while in \"good Behavior.\" This is an incredibly open-ended standard. Only 15 federal judges have ever been impeached and only eight have ever been convicted and removed (most recently, Judge Thomas Porteous of Louisiana in 2010). But even then, the \"articles of impeachment,\" the list of misconduct the accused is on trial for, have described quite a wide range of inappropriate behavior.\nBy way of example, the only Supreme Court Justice to ever have been impeached (though not convicted) was Samuel Chase, in 1805. Chase had criticized a decision made by President Jefferson (the repeal of the Judiciary Act of 1801, effectively eliminating many newly created federal judgeships held by Federalists, a political party opposed by Jefferson). Jefferson led the charge to have Chase impeached. Officially, the articles of impeachment also included several other actions taken by Chase as a lower court judge, accusing him of mishandling his job. However, though the House voted to impeach, the Senate acquitted. More recent examples provide better illustrations of how impeachment is used in the modern era. For example, Walter Nixon (no relation to the former U.S. President), a federal judge in Mississippi, was impeached and convicted in 1989. Nixon had committed perjury by lying under oath to investigators, falsely denying his involvement in helping the son of a business partner get out of being prosecuted for a drug-related charge."

"Impeachment: Democracy at its Best\nPosted on October 21, 2000 by Atty. Ralph Sarmiento\nThe ability to remove from office our highest official reflects the depth of our commitment to a government of laws, not men.\nWhen 48 people sat down in 1986 to formulate our Fundamental Law, one of their primary goals was to institute a system of government that would prevent the rise of another Marcos. They took pains not to give the President too much power. They adopted measures to prevent him from becoming too powerful. The result was the weakening of the specific powers which were abused by dictator Marcos. The Commander-in-Chief powers that include the power to declare a state of martial law and to suspend the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus have been considerably reduced and put under the check of the other great branches.\nHowever, they realized that all of the measures to keep the President within the constitutional bounds of his powers might not be enough. The framers felt that a constitutional mechanism for the peaceful removal of an oppressive or unfit President must be put in place. As such, we have this process called impeachment.\nImpeachment is the process by which charges are brought against high government officials, which can result in their removal. It has been described as an inquiry into the conduct of public men. The word \"impeach\" is derived from the Middle English word \"empechen,\" meaning to impede or accuse, and the Latin \"impedicare\" which means to entangle or put in fetters.\nOur Constitution provides that the President may be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, culpable violation of the Constitution, treason, bribery, graft and corruption, other high crimes, or betrayal of public trust. Therefore, to remove the President, there are two processes involved, he must be impeached and then convicted of the grounds aforementioned.\nImpeachment is done by the House of Representatives upon the support of at least one-third of all its members, though this means only that the House brings the charges or indicts the President. It does not conduct the trial or vote to determine whether the President will be removed from office. Thus, we say that Pres. Clinton has been impeached although not removed from office because he was acquitted on both Articles of Impeachment against him. The same is true of Richard Nixon who was also impeached but who opted to resign instead of being convicted in the Senate. In the Philippines, however, no President has ever been impeached though there had been previous attempts against three: Elpidio Quirino in 1949, Diosdado Macapagal in 1963, and Ferdinand Marcos in 1985. All three attempts failed to muster the required number of votes to place the President on trial in the Senate.\nOur Constitutional gives the Senate the sole power to try and decide all cases of impeachment and when the President is the one on trial, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court shall preside, but shall not vote. No person shall be convicted without the concurrence of two-thirds of all the Members of the Senate. Incidentally, the Senate votes separately on each charge or alleged ground for impeachment. If there is two-thirds vote to convict on any ground, the President is convicted and removed from office, even if he is acquitted of all other charges.\nImpeachment is an expression and means of protecting our hard-earned and ever-precious liberty. It reminds the President of the elementary principle that a public office is a public trust; that the Presidency is not a license to commit wrongdoing; that the fixed term of six years does not give him security of tenure; and that he can be brought to heel if he abuses the trust the people place in him.\nThe removal of a President through the impeachment process will surely be a national tragedy and a national crisis, but nevertheless, it will be a display of democracy at its best. A president will be lost but a quintessential principle will be affirmed, that is \"No man is above the law.\" And the beauty in this is that this principle will be affirmed without bloodshed.\nFederalism as the Key to Peace\nPosted on October 8, 2000 by Atty. Ralph Sarmiento\nIn their desire to find the ultimate solution to the Mindanao problem, some policy makers have accidentally chanced upon the idea of federalism. Senators Pimentel, Osmeña, Tatad and Santiago are saying that the \"adoption of the federal form of government may be the ultimate solution to the centuries-old Bangsamoro uprising in Mindanao.\" As Senator Pimentel said \"Federalism would respond positively to their demands, prevent the dismemberment and keep the republic intact, and establish just and lasting peace in Mindanao.\"\nThe Mindanao problem did not come by mere chance or by accident; and to say that the problem is only about a group of bandits or terrorists or that it is a mere hostage drama are big understatements. The Bangsamoro struggle has been with us for the last 4 centuries, and it drives to me to think that our political system has something to do with it.\nTotal war would not solve the problem because in war there are no victors. It is like the improper administration of antibiotics, which would only lead to the mutation of the virus and the development of new strains. First, we had the MNLF, then the MILF, now the ASG and there would be no end to it.\nNow is the time for us to reexamine the ties that bind us as a nation. Is it a tie founded on genuine equality for all its component elements or just a sheer demographic arrangement supposedly based on some historical accidents? Why do many people in Muslim Mindanao feel neglected by the so-called imperialist Manila? There would be no end to the Bangsa Moro uprising until our Muslim brothers feel that they are being treated as equals and until they are ridded off of this feeling of being neglected. Under the federal set-up, our Muslim brothers would no longer have the reason to ask whether or not they are being neglected by Manila because all that will be left to ask is one and only one question, true of every federal component and that is \"Are we neglecting ourselves?\"\nFederalism will give local communities the ability and power to chart their own destinies, to realize their own aspirations, and to determine their own laws, according to their own unique culture and traditions. Federalism will promote political and economic dynamism of the regions or the different nations that make up the Philippine Republic. It will bring power back to where it really belongs – the people.\nIt is only through federalism where we will realize the true concept of autonomy characterized by decentralization both of power and administration, unlike in our present structure where there is only decentralization of administration and not of power with the result that our cities and provinces become the mere administrative agents of our country's capital.\nLet us throw away the myth that only through a centralized, unitary government, with concentration of powers in a single center, could the republic be maintained. Coerced or forced unity, instead of keeping the nation intact, will divide it in the long run. Experience of other countries as well as ours would bear me out if I say that the unitary system is not appropriate for a heterogeneous country like ours. After all, whether the Manila admits it or not, we are still a country of many nations, many cultures, many languages, and many religions. Shall we therefore allow our provinces or regions to be the mere peripheries of the center? Shall we continue to allow our cities to be miserably dependent on Manila, or as others put it, \"mere colonies of Manila\"?\nIn 1986, 48 persons from different sectors and persuasions convened to draft a Constitution that would prevent the rise of another dictator or the concentration of power or authority in one man. Today, I believe the time has come to elevate that Constitution further to greater heights so that it will not only prevent the concentration of power in one man but will also put a stop to the centralization of power or authority in only one city or province.\nIt is not differences that break up nations. It is not differences that divide republics. It is not differences that lead people to war. But it is indifference, intolerance, and failure to accommodate and understand differences. Federalism with its characteristic tolerance and accommodation for cultural, lingual, and religious diversity will ultimately be the key to peace not just to Muslim Mindanao but also and more importantly to the entire republic."

"\"I shall resign the presidency effective at noon tomorrow.\" With these words, spoken just after 9 p.m. on August 8, 1974, Richard Nixon ended an American tragedy. In its place, he created a mystery. The most powerful man in the most powerful country on earth had been driven from office by a special prosecutor he could have fired at any time. How could this happen? Behind this mystery lay another, even deeper one. Why was such a subordinate official entrusted with investigating the president of the United States?\nTwo hundred years earlier, Americans fought a revolution to overthrow the maxim that \"the King can do no wrong.\" In its place, they enshrined the fundamental principle that no one, not even the president, is above the law. Few ideas have been more central to the nation's democratic self-image. The words \"Equal Justice Under Law\" are engraved above the entrance to the United States Supreme Court.\nYet no law required Richard Nixon to appoint an outside prosecutor when credible evidence emerged that he had committed a crime. When Nixon chose to appoint such a prosecutor voluntarily, no law barred him from shutting down the investigation to save his own skin. How could the nation have left its sacred ideals so weakly protected?\nSince Nixon's resignation, these mysteries have only deepened. In 1978, Congress created a strong independent prosecutor who could not easily be fired by the president. But this solution quickly proved controversial, and Congress scrapped it after the impeachment of President Bill Clinton in 1999. Today, the United States is right back where it was when Nixon resigned. Special prosecutors still strike fear into the hearts of presidents, who can still fire them at any time.\nThrough my research, I have attempted to unravel the mystery; more specifically, to answer three questions. First, how did special prosecutors come to exercise significant power, despite serving purely at the pleasure of the president? Second, why has the United States rejected stronger institutional safeguards of the sort embraced by other advanced democracies? Third, what does this history means for special prosecutors today?\nThe short answer to all three is that special prosecutors function as catalysts for democracy. By raising the visibility of presidential misconduct, they enable the American people to hold the president accountable for his actions. But special prosecutors, just like presidents, can abuse their power. To guard against this risk, the president retains the power to fire a special prosecutor at any time. If he exercises that power corruptly or capriciously, special prosecutors have no legal remedy. But they are not unprotected. The president must ultimately answer to the American people. This has proved a surprisingly powerful deterrent, though also a fragile one. It is the best explanation for why special counsel Robert Mueller still has a job today—and the best remaining hope for holding President Trump accountable.\nAndrew Coan is a professor of law at the University of Arizona. He is the author of Prosecuting the President: How Special Prosecutors Hold Presidents Accountable and Protect the Rule of Law, a new release from Oxford University Press."

"10 Whales Beached on Bali Island\nby | Feb 6, 2009 | Uncategorized\nI think Bali residents are proving themselves to be positive and opportunists during this economic downturn.\nBrowsing Yahoo News (SG) I came across the article where they mention of 10 whales beached in Bali. No, there wasn't any wildlife exhibitions or marine life showcase, but it was probably a case of really bad weather (underwater???) for these mammals, that drove them to beach to their death. But I'd suspect that their cause of death could be aligned towards another reason.\nYou see, some villagers probably grew affectionate for these stranded beasts, and quite possibly poured buckets water onto these mammoths while some kids danced around them and throwing sand. And then there are some who'd go right up to these beasts, with an empty bucket and a parang, and cut them up and drain their fats/oils for Medical purposes. Trained doctors they're not, but other than having a similar effect to Viagra, I simply can't fathom any reasons why they should be cutting up stranded fish carcass.\nMe, imagining their conditions, \"Woah, got whale! Cut! Cut! Get Oil! Fish Asam Laksa for the rest of the month too! Woohooo!!\" or something like that. Ruthless eh? Just like the handsomely paid executives of wall street. Mindless too. But to each his own. Or her own, I guess.\nAnyway, so why do whales beach? One of the most intelligent mammals to swim this earth, I suspect that it could be a political statement that these fishes undertook. Perhaps they were a gang of suicidal fishes or maybe they were extremists who were trying to rid the coastline from humans? You know, like suicide bombers on a mission — except its without any pyrotechnics. Whatever their agenda may be, it is sad and yet normal. Failure to save them may be seen as cruel to some animatarians (is there such a word???) but looking at it from a local Villager's point of view, it is entertainment, a medical boon, and a chance to keep the wallet intact too."

"Wood Bioenergy » North American Pellet Prices Trend Upward For Canada, Down For U.S.\nNorth American Pellet Prices Trend Upward For Canada, Down For U.S.\nThe U.S. and Canadian Pellet Feedstock Price Indices increased in early 2018, driven mainly by higher demand for pellets in Europe and Asia, according to the North American Wood Fiber Review.\nThe pellet feedstock price indices for North America, launched by WRI in 2013, have trended upward in Canada during most of 2017 and early 2018 but declined in the U.S. during the same period. The level of availability of sawmill residues was the major driver for the price corrections the past year.\nWood fiber costs for pellet producers in both Canada and the U.S. were slightly higher in the 1Q/18 than in the previous quarter, continuing an upward trend that started in early 2017. In Western Canada, the difficult weather conditions during the winter months hampered harvest operations, forcing multiple sawmills to either slow production or take limited downtime in the first quarter. The lower sawmill operating rates resulted in reduced supplies of residues for pellet manufacturers, forcing some to use more costly forest biomass in their feedstock mix. The total fiber cost for Canadian pellet producers has slowly moved upward during 2017 and early 2018 to reach a three-year high in the 1Q/18.\nThe Pellet Feedstock Price Index for Canada (PFPI-CA), reported in U.S. dollars, rose by 8.1% y-o-y to reach US$44.21/odmt in the 1Q/18, according to the North American Wood Fiber Review. Much of this increase was the result of a strengthening of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar.\nPellet feedstock costs in Western Canada are likely to increase overall in 2018 because of the shrinking availability of sawlogs for the region's sawmills, a crucial source of bi-products for the pellet industry."

About a year into planning, the launch of Yana surfboards has the creative backing of a Portland advertising agency co-founder and has already signed a surfing celebrity….Zehr says balsa wood may appeal more to a Baby Boomer-age consumers\nbecause the boards have a softer environmental impact, because they are\nderived from wood and not oil and can biodegrade.\nBarriere: a decade later\nThe Kamloops Daily News\nMarking the 10th anniversary of the 2003 Barriere wildfire isn't something to celebrate, like a wedding date or a birthday. It's not a happy occasion to remember; it's not an excuse to revel in memories that provoke smiles and laughs. It was a devastating, far-reaching event with serious impacts. Looking back after a decade has passed gives us a chance to see how a community has proceeded after the fires caused physical destruction and emotional distress; more than 26,000 hectares burned, 72 homes were lost and a mill that provided 180 jobs fell to ash.\nYes to truck wash, no to public money\nLetter from Tara Daly\n…The responsibility of maintaining a clean paved road through Youbou should be the responsibility of TimberWest and the Department of Highways and Infrastructure. Director Weaver (as well as previous directors Kuhn and Hodson) has worked tirelessly to bring a solution to the disgusting mess of the main thoroughfare through Youbou. I do not, however, believe that an offering of $5,000 is the route to go. According to Director Weaver, Timber-West wants assurance that the \"CVRD is in favour of putting in the truck wash\".\nThunderbirds vital to Alberni Valley\nAlberni Valley Times\nThere's a crew of 20 men and women constantly training during the summer near the Alberni Valley's airport. They are training for what many regions surrounded by forests, just like this one, fear the most – a wildfire. They are the Thunderbird Unit Crew – seasonal workers who applied for a job from a few credentials. They are the lucky ones who won out from a field of thousands of applicants. So what do they do? \"They respond to fires,\" said Coastal Fire Centre information officer Donna MacPherson, \"and they respond appropriately to fires.\" But these firefighters are different from the run of the mill fire departments and from three-person initial attack crews.\nSmall town, big heart: port mcneill lives up to the aphorism\nBy Stephen Hume,\nGerry Furney is the kind of guy who puts his money where his mouth is. This, presumably, is why he's working on his 38th year as mayor in the small resource town of Port McNeill, whose roughly 3,000 inhabitants live on the remote north end of Vancouver Island, about 450 kilometres northwest of Vancouver. …First, he persuaded his town council to commit a dollar for every citizen of Port McNeill to help Lac Mégantic rebuild. While he acknowledges the role of federal and provincial governments in providing funds for physical reconstruction, Gerry says Port McNeill is sending its financial help to assist with the psychological and social rebuilding of the devastated community.\nDrone aircraft take flight for research project\nWhen it comes to taking inventory of a forest, John Rankin believes drone aircraft equipped with high resolution cameras are the wave of the future and, with the help of CNC, he is out to prove it. The president of Prince George-based J.R. Canadian Mapping Ltd., Rankin has been flying a slow-flying drone, also known as an unmanned aerial device, over a small portion of CNC's research forest, and in turn, the images are being handed over to students in CNC's natural resources and environmental technology program for assessment.\nIgnorance in forest cannot continue\nLetter by Peter Rueschmann\nRe: \"German tourist critizes B.C. logging,\" (Alberni Valley Times, July 19) It amazes me that it took a tourist to take a look at our lousy corporate logging practices, to wake us up. It is geared for one thing, and one thing only – profit and greed. I have been in the backwoods many times, what I have seen is disgusting. Some of my friends who were loggers 30 to 40 years ago have said to me they have never seen anything like it. What a waste. It's also amazing that all these corporate gangsters own the land.\nThe Forest Service's Mission Statement is Pure Fantasy\n.It is true that Congress created the Forest Service in 1905 and gave it responsibility for caring for a timberland base that today totals 193 million acres. But I have serious doubts about the rest of the claims the Forest Service makes in its mission statement. Even the agency's leadership admits that about 80 million of the 193 million acres in its care are in such dreadful ecological condition that it will most likely burn to the ground before Congress musters the political courage to shut down the litigation machine that is destroying the nation's federal forest heritage.\nIdaho forest fires following last year's pattern\nEarly wildfire starts in central Idaho bode for fire until October-\nThe Wildlife News\nStanley, ID. Forest fire season in Idaho used to be August and September with many years with no forest fires of note. Now the fires begin in mid-July and burn until mid-October. Like last year, fires have already broken out, such as the Road 210 fire near scenic Stanley, Idaho, and a half dozen larger fires are burning in the deep backcountry and Wilderness of central Idaho. Earlier we wrote an article that outdoor enthusiasts need to consider the month of June much more importantly than in the past because of the trend toward summer long fires.\nFire blackens 720 acres near Frenchtown; hundreds evacuated\nFRENCHTOWN – A wildfire sparked by a lawnmower northeast of here quickly spread to 720 acres on Thursday afternoon, displacing livestock and prompting authorities to issue evacuation notices to hundreds of homes. The Mill Creek fire started in tinder-dry grass before blowing up across a ridge into scattered timber and homes. Air support arrived quickly and in force, hitting the fire with water and slurry as evacuees ran for cover. As of 9 p.m. Thursday, the fire was zero percent contained.\nEmigrants fire still uncontrolled, grows slightly to 450 acres from The Billings Gazette\nAdusty red excavator rests at the edge of the Soda Mountain Wilderness. Behind it, the last half-mile of road in the wilderness — drivable by a low-clearance vehicle — is scheduled to be obliterated during the next few days. The rest of the road, which had been cut into a hillside in a thickly timbered Douglas fir forest, has already been worked over with the excavator, turning it into a gray, powdery ribbon, 30 feet wide, strewn with angular boulders, and contoured to the natural slope of this steep mountainside. In time, the road will completely disappear. As planned.\nGiant cedar draws looks, efforts to protect it\nThe Daily Astorian\nA 286-acre parcel belonging to the Oregon Department of Forestry has drawn dozens of hikers recently after the discovery of a 152-foot Western red cedar, the largest known in Oregon. Estimated to be between 800 and 900 years old, the towering so-called Arcadia cedar has attracted attention and concern about the future of the Hugh Point parcel its stands on. The Clatsop County board unanimously passed a resolution Wednesday urging ODF to designate the parcel near Cannon Beach as a High-Value Conservation Area to \"ensure its preservation as a state treasure.\"\nDozens evacuate as forest fire near Goldendale rages\nKIMATV.com\nGOLDENDALE, Wash. — A wildfire burning near Goldendale has burned 2,000 acres and forced dozens of homes to evacuate.

It's not yet clear where or how this fire started. Dozens more homes are at risk as more than 100 firefighters try to get a handle on the flames ripping through the forest.\n3 timber sales postponed, after agency ordered to sell more timber\nMEDFORD — The U.S. Bureau of Land Management has postponed three Oregon timber sales, saying that it needs time to consider a federal court decision that ordered it to sell more timber in southern Oregon. However, a timber industry group has filed an emergency motion asking the judge to order the agency to go through with the sales, the Medford Mail Tribune reported Thursday. ..\"The decision by the BLM to refuse to sell these timber sales is basically a slap in the face of the judge,\" said Scott Horngren, a lawyer for the Portland-based American Forest Resource Council, one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit.\nForest peace signatory warns deal may die in Upper House\nA timber industry group which signed Tasmania's forest peace deal is concerned the historic agreement could be killed in the Upper House, because of the government's handling of tied funding. The Federal Government is funding 31 projects under a $100 million program to diversify Tasmania's economy. The announcement came less than a week after applications closed. Terry Edwards from the Forest Industries Association says the federal and state governments have ignored recommendations from peace deal signatories to slow down the process.\nAbbott slams forestry shut down cash\nOpposition Leader Tony Abbott has dismissed a $100 million package for Tasmania as a symbol of the federal government's \"hate\" for forestry. Prime Minister Kevin Rudd announced the carve-up of the funding on a visit to the state on Thursday. The cash is intended to help Tasmania's economy restructure after a huge downturn in its forestry sector.

"Industry News Markets\nCanfor Pulp Products Q4 2015 results\nBy Canfor Pulp Products\nFebruary 18, 2016 - Canfor Pulp Products Inc. reported net income of $29.7 million, or $0.43 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to $31.2 million, or $0.45 per share, for the third quarter of 2015 and $20.7 million, or $0.29 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2014. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company's net income was $106.6 million, or $1.52 per share, compared to $89.5 million, or $1.26 per share, for 2014.\nThe following table summarizes selected financial information for the Company for the comparative periods:\n(millions of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts)\nAfter adjusting for items affecting comparability with the prior periods, the Company's adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $29.0 million, or $0.42 per share, compared to an adjusted net income of $34.8 million, or $0.50 per share, for the third quarter of 2015. For 2015, CPPI's adjusted net income was $111.8 million, or $1.59 per share, compared to $90.9 million, or $1.28 per share, for 2014.\nThe company reported operating income of $38.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, a decrease of $3.7 million from $42.3 million reported for the third quarter of 2015. Fourth quarter results reflected increased pulp production and shipment volumes as well as higher energy revenues, which largely offset slightly lower Northern Bleached Softwood Kraft (\"NBSK\") pulp sales realizations and costs associated with the scheduled maintenance outage at the company's Northwood pulp mill in October. The increased pulp production and energy revenue reflected improved operating rates, and, in the case of energy revenue, seasonally higher energy prices.\nGlobal softwood pulp markets weakened somewhat through most of the fourth quarter of 2015, before stabilizing towards the end of the year, reflecting to some extent recent increases in hardwood pulp supply, particularly in China. The average NBSK pulp list price to North America, as published by RISI, was down US$22 per tonne, or 2%, to US$945 per tonne while more pronounced declines were seen in average US-dollar NBSK pulp list prices to China and Europe. Overall, however, NBSK pulp unit sales realizations were down only slightly from the third quarter of 2015 as the continued weakening of the Canadian dollar which was down 2% from the previous quarter, mitigated the impact of lower prices. Bleached Chemi-Thermo Mechanical Pulp (\"BCTMP\") markets remained under pressure in the fourth quarter of 2015, with unit sales realizations down slightly compared to the previous quarter. In December, the Company temporarily curtailed operations at the Taylor pulp mill for eight days in response to the challenging BCTMP market conditions.\nPulp shipments were up 16% from the previous quarter reflecting solid demand for the Company's NBSK premium reinforcing pulp products. Pulp production was up approximately 4%, as improved operating rates and additional operating days more than offset the impact of the Northwood pulp mill scheduled maintenance outage, which reduced market pulp production by 20,000 tonnes in the current quarter (compared to 6,000 tonnes in the third quarter). Pulp unit manufacturing costs were up slightly from the previous quarter, for the most part reflecting costs associated with the Northwood pulp mill maintenance outage and seasonally higher energy costs, which more than offset lower fibre costs and improved productivity.\nOperating income in the company's paper segment at $6.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2015 was broadly in line with the previous quarter as increased production and shipment volumes offset slightly lower unit sales realizations.\nIn the fourth quarter of 2015, the company purchased 692,985 common shares and continued its quarterly dividend of $0.0625 per share returning a total of $14.1 million to shareholders. For 2015, the Company returned a total of $122.1 million to shareholders through its dividend and share purchase programs including a special dividend of $79.0 million paid in August.\nCommenting on the fourth quarter's results, CPPI's CEO Don Kayne said, \"Canfor Pulp had another quarter of solid operating results, reflecting not only relatively stable Canadian-dollar sales realizations, but strong operating performance and the continued growth of the green energy business.\"\nFor the month of January 2016, NBSK pulp list prices were unchanged in North America at US$940 per tonne, while prices to China decreased US$5 to US$590 per tonne. For the month of March 2016, the Company has announced a list price of US$960 per tonne in North America. In the second quarter of 2016, producer inventories are forecast to decline during the industry's traditional spring maintenance period. There are no maintenance outages planned for the first quarter of 2016.\nOn February 17, 2016, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.0625 per share, payable on March 8, 2016 to the shareholders of record on March 1, 2016.\nRefer to the Company's Annual Management's Discussion and Analysis for further discussion on the Company's results for the fourth quarter of 2015.\nCertain statements in this press release constitute \"forward-looking statements\" which involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such statements.

"Industry News Markets\nCanfor announces first quarter 2018 results\nBy Canfor\nApril 25, 2018 - Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CPPI) has reported first quarter 2018 results and quarterly dividend.\nRecord quarterly operating income of $85 million, surpassing previous high set in the fourth quarter of 2017\nRecord-high quarterly sales of $360 million\nNet income of $64 million, or $0.99 per share\nThe company reported operating income of $85.1 million for the first quarter of 2018, an increase of $18.3 million from the $66.8 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2017 as the benefit of near-record high US-dollar pricing for Northern Bleached Softwood Kraft (NBSK) pulp and improved productivity in the latter part of the quarter more than offset challenges presented by severe winter weather in Western Canada earlier in the period, and the effects of major transportation disruptions to all the company's operations through the quarter.\nGlobal softwood pulp markets remained favourable through the first quarter of 2018, resulting in US-dollar NBSK pulp list prices holding at near-record high prices, and a significant increase in average NBSK pulp unit sales realizations. Average Bleached Chemi-Thermo Mechanical Pulp (BCTMP) unit sales realizations showed a more moderate increase in the quarter, with increased demand towards the end of 2017 translating into higher average prices for product shipped in the current quarter.\nPulp shipments were up 3 per cent from the previous quarter, as a 14,000 tonne vessel slippage from December into January more than offset transportation constraints which reflected challenging weather conditions in Western Canada. Pulp production was broadly in line with the fourth quarter of 2017, as strong productivity in March combined with increased operating days following the unscheduled outage at the company's Northwood pulp mill in the previous quarter largely offset the impacts of various weather-related disruptions in January and February. Pulp unit manufacturing costs were moderately higher than the previous quarter, largely reflecting market-driven increases in fibre costs and weather-related increases in energy costs.\nOperating income in the company's paper segment at $2.9 million was down $4.5 million from the fourth quarter of 2017, as improved paper unit sales realizations were more than offset by increased slush pulp costs linked to higher Canadian dollar NBSK market pulp prices.\nCommenting on the Company's first quarter of 2018 results, CPPI's chief executive officer, Don Kayne said, \"Notwithstanding the various disruptions caused by severe weather conditions in January and February, we had a solid operating performance in the quarter that enabled us to capitalize on the current favourable pulp market conditions and deliver new record-high sales, operating income and net income.\"\nGlobal softwood kraft pulp markets are projected to remain well positioned through the second quarter of 2018, reflecting both continued solid demand and tighter supply arising from the current transportation challenges as well as the traditional spring maintenance period. The outlook for the latter part of 2018 remains more uncertain given incremental pulp capacity currently projected to come online. For the month of April 2018, the Company announced an increase of US$30 per tonne for NBSK pulp list prices to North America. The ongoing transportation disruptions and associated impact on shipments are projected to continue for several months as transportation networks slowly return to normal service levels.\nResults in the second quarter of 2018 will reflect scheduled maintenance outages at the Prince George NBSK pulp mill and paper machine, as well as at the Taylor BCTMP mill, with a projected 5,000 tonnes of reduced NBSK pulp production, 4,000 tonnes of reduced paper production and 11,000 tonnes of reduced BCTMP production, respectively, combined with higher associated maintenance costs and lower projected shipment volume. The scheduled outage at the Taylor BCTMP mill will include work associated with the previously announced energy project. The Northwood NBSK pulp mill has a maintenance outage scheduled for the third quarter of 2018, with a projected 22,000 tonnes of reduced NBSK pulp production.\nOn April 24, 2018, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.0625 per share, payable on May 14, 2018 to the shareholders of record on May 7, 2018.\nThe global forest industry in 1Q/2015\nOverseas softwood wood chips fall 11% in eight months, hardwood chips up slightly\nConifex closes investment deal with Canfor\nIndian pulp industry looks overseas\nTurbochargers: What you need to know\nOntario investing in mass timber construction"

"For the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company reported operating income of $15.6 million, a decrease of $44.9 million from $60.5 million reported for the third quarter of 2018. Results for the current quarter reflected repairs to one of the Company's Northwood Pulp Mill (\"Northwood\") recovery boilers, and operational disruptions resulting from a third-party natural gas explosion in Prince George early in the quarter, combined with their respective effects on production volumes, shipments and manufacturing costs.\nReflecting weaker demand from China, global softwood pulp market demand was down in the fourth quarter of 2018, with global softwood pulp producer inventory levels remaining above normal through the quarter. US-dollar Northern Bleached Softwood Kraft (\"NBSK\") pulp list prices to China averaged US$805 per tonne, down 9% from the prior quarter, with prices ending the year at US$725 per tonne.\nThe Company's average NBSK unit sales realizations, however, were broadly in line with the prior quarter as the lower US-dollar pricing to China was largely offset by higher US-dollar pricing to North America, proportionately higher shipments to North America, and a 1 cent, or 1%, weaker Canadian dollar. Bleached Chemi-Thermo Mechanical Pulp (\"BCTMP\") US-dollar pricing came under modest downward pressure during the current quarter; however, the Company's sales realizations remained steady quarterover-quarter reflecting the timing of shipments (versus orders) and a weaker Canadian dollar.\nPulp production was down 61,400 tonnes, or 22%, from the previous quarter. This lower production primarily reflected the continuation of the scheduled maintenance outage at Northwood from the previous quarter, the aforementioned recovery boiler extended downtime at Northwood, as well as unscheduled downtime taken as a result of a third-party natural gas pipeline explosion, which impacted the Company's three NBSK pulp mills and, to a lesser extent, several other operational challenges during the current quarter. Combined, these scheduled and unscheduled outages impacted NBSK pulp production by approximately 90,000 tonnes.\nIn addition, in late December, the Company curtailed production at its Taylor BCTMP mill for seven days in the face of reduced residual fibre availability resulting from various sawmill curtailments in the region, which impacted BCTMP production by approximately 5,000 tonnes. In the third quarter of 2018, a scheduled maintenance outage at Northwood and ramp up at Taylor following the commissioning of the energy reduction project, reduced pulp production by approximately 30,000 tonnes.\nOperating income for the paper segment remained broadly in line with the prior quarter reflecting a solid operating performance at the Company's Prince George paper machine and steady paper unit sales realizations, with the weaker Canadian dollar offsetting a modest decline in US-dollar prices.\nCPPI's Chief Executive Officer, Don Kayne, said, \"With several months of significant operational challenges now behind us, we are very focused on getting our production performance back on track in the coming months.\" The Company has no maintenance outages planned for the first quarter of 2019. Maintenance outages are currently planned at the Intercontinental NBSK pulp mill in the second quarter of 2019 with a projected 12,000 tonnes of reduced NBSK pulp production.\nAdditional maintenance outages are scheduled at the Prince George NBSK pulp mill and the Taylor BCTMP mill in the third and fourth quarters of 2019 with a projected 6,000 tonnes of reduced NBSK pulp production and projected 5,000 tonnes of reduced BCTMP production, respectively. No scheduled maintenance outages are planned for the Company's Northwood NBSK pulp mill in 2019. Bleached kraft paper demand is expected to remain solid through the first quarter of 2019. A maintenance outage is currently planned at the Company's paper machine during the third quarter of 2019 with a projected 4,000 tonnes of reduced paper production."

The control panel even allowed players to nudge the ball by pressing down on it, being careful not to push their luck and get a Tilt.\nThe game had all the features and all the fun of a traditional pinball machine, but with so many real pinball machines still filling arcades, players preferred their video games with aliens or asteroids.\nAtari released a version of Video Pinball for the 2600 home system, but no future arcade sequels were planned.\nVS.

Installed across numerous F1 circuits, the investment in Armco barriers quickly paid off, saving the lives of both race drivers and spectators.\nOriginally invented by the Sheffield Steel Corporation of Kansas USA in 1933, the design of the crash barrier has largely remained the same to date. The one major change being the transition from the originally painted crash barriers to the modern day galvanisation, protecting against rust and corrosion, typically extending life expectancy of the barrier by several years.\nAfter their success in F1, the barriers where later added to motorways across the UK. Used on roadsides and central reservations, the barriers were erected to contain accidents and reduce the risk of cars colliding with oncoming traffic on the other side of the carriageway.\nQuick to manufacture and easy to install, crash barriers have been successfully implemented on motorways and roadsides up and down the UK. Also extensively installed across the rest of Europe and parts of America. The invention of safety barriers and their comprehensive use has undoubtedly resulted in the prevention of countless fatalities. Barriers not only protect drivers and passenger, but pedestrians as well.\nSince their introduction to UK and European roadsides, crash barriers have also been put to good use across a wide range of industries including agriculture and construction. There strength and durability has meant they are very effective for protecting buildings, livestock, and expensive machinery.\nWelcome the new website for Armco Barrier Supplies.

At the end of the release, the pitcher CAN NOT at any time cross the roller's mound. Doing so will result in an illegal pitch which can be called a ball by the umpire, but can still be kicked by the kicker.

At the end of the release, the pitcher CAN NOT at any time cross, or be off of, the roller's mound nor can they start their pitching motion while not standing on the Kicker's Mat (No Running Start).

"KRUEN –– Leaders of the world's major industrial democracies resolved today to wean their energy-hungry economies off carbon fuels, marking a major step in the battle against global warming that raises the chances of a UN climate deal later this year.\nThe Group of Seven's energy pledge capped a successful summit for host Angela Merkel, who revived her credentials as a \"climate chancellor\" and strengthened Germany's friendship with the United States at the meeting in a Bavarian resort.\nTies between the Cold War allies have been strained in the last couple of years by spying rows but Merkel appeared to put that behind her on welcoming American President Barack Obama, who declared their countries were \"inseparable allies\".\nMeeting in the picturesque Schloss Elmau at the foot of Germany's highest mountain, the Zugspitze, the G7 leaders pressed Greece to accept painful economic reforms to resolve its debt crisis and struck a firm tone on Russia's role in Ukraine.\nGerman Chancellor Angela Merkel speaking with President Barack Obama outside the Elmau castle in Kruen near Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, today.\nThey agreed that existing sanctions against Russia would remain in place until Moscow and Russian-backed rebels in eastern Ukraine fully respect a ceasefire negotiated in Minsk in February, and said they could escalate sanctions if needed.\nOn climate change, the G7 leaders pledged in a communique after their two-day meeting to develop long-term low-carbon strategies and abandon fossil fuels by the end of the century.\n\"We commit to doing our part to achieve a low-carbon global economy in the long-term, including developing and deploying innovative technologies striving for a transformation of the energy sectors by 2050,\" the communique read.\nThe leaders invited other countries to join them in their drive, saying they would accelerate access to renewable energy in Africa and intensify their support for vulnerable countries' own efforts to manage climate change.\nThe summit revitalized Merkel's green credentials, after concern among diplomats and environmental campaigners that Japan and Canada might torpedo her efforts.\nThe G7 stopped short of agreeing any immediate collective targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which the Europeans had pressed their partners in the club to embrace. But they said a UN climate conference later this year should reach a deal with legal force, including through binding rules, to combat climate change.\nGreen lobby groups –– routinely critical of the advanced economies' record on climate change — welcomed the thrust of the summit commitments.\n\"Merkel's G7 says 'Auf Wiedersehen' [farewell] to fossil fuels,\" global activist network Avaaz declared in a statement.\n\"Elmau delivered\", enthused environmental pressure group Greenpeace, adding that \"the vision of a 100 per cent renewable energy future is starting to take shape\".\nThe G7 leaders supported a reduction in global greenhouse gas emissions within a range recommended by the United Nations climate change panel, and backed a global target for limiting the rise in average global temperatures to 2 degrees Celsius compared with pre-industrial levels.\nTheir accord helps set up the UN Paris conference, at which some 200 countries will try to reach agreement on limiting the rise in global temperatures to 2 degrees Celsius and seal a new worldwide agreement to curb greenhouse gas emissions."

"Egyptian President Abdel al-Sisi at U.N. denounces Islamism and its enablers; includes Palestine\nEgyptian Pres. Abdel Sisi addresses U.N. General Assembly\nEgypt's President Sisi Addresses the United Nations by Mohamed Khairat in Egyptian Streets| September 25, 2014\nEgypt's President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi addressed the United Nations General Assembly's 69th Session, stressing Egypt's commitment to tackling the \"plague\" of terrorism while hundreds of supporters stood outside the United Nations in New York.\nUpon being called to the podium, the Egyptian President was received with a loud applause from delegates, including world heads of state, of the General Assembly. The applause visibly pleased President Sisi, who immediately acknowledged it by smiling and putting his hands together in a sign of gratitude.\n'A New Egypt'\nMinutes after commencing, the President was met with another applause after declaring the intentions of Egyptians to build a \"New Egypt.\"\n\"Our aim is to build a new Egypt,\" said the President before being interrupted by the clapping of the hall.\n\"A state that respects the rights and freedoms, honours its duties, and ensures the co-existence of its citizens without exclusion or discrimination. A state that respects and enforces the rule of law, guarantees freedom of opinion for all and ensures freedom of belief and worship to its people. A state that is determined to achieve growth, prosperity, and a promising future that meets the aspirations of its people,\" declared the President after silence had returned to the General Assembly.\nTo attain this promise, the President stressed that the State should respect and enforce the rule of law, guarantee freedom of speech and religion, and work towards the growth and prosperity of the country.\nAt the start of his speech, President Sisi had addressed criticism of Egypt's road map since the ouster of deposed President Mohammed Morsi.\nThe President said Egyptians had made history in the past two years by first revolting against corruption and despotism to claim their right to freedom, dignity and social justice, and then when they rose up against exclusion and refused to succumb \"to the tyranny of a faction who, in the name of religion, put its narrow interests before the interests of the people.\"\nTerrorism and the threats on the world\nThe world is starting to grasp the reality of what happened in Egypt, and to understand the circumstances that drove Egyptians to intuitively take to the streets to rebel against the forces of extremism and darkness,\" explained the President in his 17-minute speech.\nThe President added that Egypt had warned the world about the spread of terrorism at the hands of extremist groups.\n\"The upsurge in extremism and violence perpetrated in the name of religion that the region is currently witnessing is an evidence of the true objectives of these groups that exploit religion,\" said Sisi.\n\"They have transformed the values of justice, compassion and mercy treasured by Judaism, Christianity and Islam, into grim sectarianism and destructive civil and regional wars which continue to claim the lives of innocent people of different religions.\"\nThe President, who showed confidence in his words, asserted that Egypt has suffered from the scourge of terrorism since the 1920s at the hands of a 'handful of extremists that commit atrocities in the name of religion.'\nHowever, Sisi added that these extremists should not be allowed to abuse Islam and offend the 1.5 billion Muslims across the globe.\n\"Terrorism is a plague that does not differentiate in its spread between developing and developed societies.\"\nTackling problems in the region\nEgypt's President said that extremism and polarisation had led to strife and divisions in the region.\nThe President called for states in the region to ensure equality among citizens and respect for the rule of law. Sisi added that confronting extremism was also essential in tackling the various crises the region faces.\nOn Libya, Sisi said that Egypt had partnered with the country's neighbours to achieve a comprehensive political solution aimed at ending bloodshed and helping strengthen and support elected Libyan institutions.\nTurning to Syria, the President added a political framework which reflected the aspirations of the Syrian people without compromising with terrorists or extremists was necessary.\nMeanwhile, Sisi hailed the formation of a new government in Iraq, stating that it was a significant development in the path to achieving stability and regaining territories that have fallen under the control of ISIL.\nIn regards to Palestine, the President stated that the Palestinian issue remained a top priority for Egypt.\n\"Palestinians still aspire to establish their independent state on the occupied territories in 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital,\" said the President, adding that Egypt had worked to achieve this goal since the 1970s.\n\"The continued deprivation of the Palestinian people of their rights is undoubtedly exploited by some to inflame other crises, achieve hidden goals, fragment Arab unity, and impose control on Palestinians under the guise of realising their aspirations.\"\nAfrica was also the focus of President Sisi's speech. The President urged the world to commit to tackling the outbreak of the deadly ebola virus in Western Africa and reaffirmed Egypt's continued desire to work with its African partners.\nSecurity Council and Final Applause\nEnding his speech, Egyptian President Sisi announced his country's bid for non-permanent membership in the United Nations Security Council in 2016-2017.\nThe President added that Egypt, which was last on the Security Council in 1997, aspires to take the seat in 2016 in order to achieve the protect the interests of developing countries as well as to accelerate reform of the United Nations system.\nSisi invited member states to support Egypt's candidature to the Security Council, adding that as a founding member of the United Nations, Egypt's vision of international relations is one founded on the respect of the principles of international law, treaties and conventions.\nMoments before concluding his speech, the President was once more interrupted with applause upon declaring \"long live Egypt!\"\n\"Long live Egypt. Long live the loving people's of the world. Long live the principles of humanity and the values of tolerance and coexistence. Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.\nL.A.-resident Egyptian Coptic-Christians rallied to support Egypt's army liberating the country from Islamist rule, which was imposed by Obama administration-supported, Muslim Brotherhood facilitator, Mohamed Morsi.

(\"Congress goes after 'frenemies' Turkey, Qatar\" in al-Monitor 9/9)\nArlan Mitnick organized Qatar Consulate protest in LA\nIn Beverly Hills, California, an ethnically-diverse group of Christians, Jews, a Hindu Sikh demonstrated against the Obama administration's enabling Qatar's influence - which they feel contradicts America's foreign policy interest to defeat the Islamist groups which persecute non-Muslim peoples, like the Coptic Christians of Egypt and the Jews of Israel.

"Justia Patents Volker Tuerck Inventions, Patents and Patent Applications\nPatents by Inventor Volker Tuerck\nVolker Tuerck has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).\nOptical system for a LED signal and wayside LED signal\nAbstract: An optical system (100) for a light emitting diode (LED) signal includes a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) (12, 14), a plurality of optical lenses (20, 40, 60, 80) for diverging and collimating light generated by the plurality of LEDs (12, 14), wherein the plurality of LEDs (12, 14) and the plurality of optical lenses (20, 40, 60, 80) are sequentially arranged in an axial direction, and wherein the plurality of optical lenses (20, 40, 60, 80) are configured such that by altering an axial position of one of the optical lenses (20, 40, 60, 80) from a first defined axial position to a second defined axial position, a final angular light distribution of the optical system (100) is variable.\nAssignee: Siemens Mobility, Inc.\nInventors: Axel Beier, Volker Türck\nDEVICES AND METHOD FOR MEASURING AN ANALYTE CONCENTRATION IN A SAMPLE OF BODILY FLUID\nAbstract: An optical test strip (110), a method and a kit (128) for measuring an analyte concentration in a sample (112) of bodily fluid are disclosed.\nApplicant: Roche Diabetes Care, Inc.\nInventors: Max Berg, Daniel Sieffert, Volker Tuerck\nMETHOD OF DETERMINING A CONCENTRATION OF AN ANALYTE IN A BODILY FLUID\nAbstract: A method of determining analyte concentration in a body fluid with a mobile device having a camera. A user is prompted to apply body fluid to an optical test strip and then waits a predetermined minimum waiting time. The camera captures an image of part of the test field having the body fluid applied thereto. Analyte concentration is determined based on the image captured. The determination includes estimating a point in time of sample application to the test field by taking into account time-dependent information derived from the image captured using a first color channel of a color space. The determination also estimates the concentration of the analyte by taking into account concentration-dependent information derived from the image using a second color channel of the color space.\nInventors: Bernd Limburg, Max Berg, Fredrik Hailer, Volker Tuerck, Daria Skuridina, Irina Ostapenko\nDETECTION METHOD FOR DETECTING AN ANALYTE IN A SAMPLE\nAbstract: A method for detecting an analyte in a sample is disclosed. The method includes providing a mobile device having a camera and an illumination source. A test strip having a test field with at least one test chemical for performing an optical detection reaction in the presence of the analyte is provided. The sample is applied to the test field. Several images of a region of the test strip are captured. The region includes at least part of the test field to which sample is applied. The images are captured before and after the sample is applied and with the illumination source turned on and off. The images captured are compared and differences in light intensities are determined. Analyte concentration is determined using the images captured and the determined light intensities.\nInventors: Max Berg, Daniel Sieffert, Volker Tuerck, Simon Wetzel, Momme Winkelnkemper\nMETHOD FOR EVALUATING SUITABILITY OF LIGHTING CONDITIONS FOR DETECTING AN ANALYTE IN A SAMPLE USING A CAMERA OF A MOBILE DEVICE\nAbstract: A method of evaluating suitability of lighting conditions for detecting an analyte in a sample using a mobile device camera. A test strip is provided for detecting the analyte. A first image of the test strip is captured while an illumination source of the mobile device is turned off and a second image of the test strip is captured while the illumination source is turned on. A sample is applied to the test strip and the first and second images are compared to thereby determine the difference in lighting conditions between the first image and the second image. The comparison is used to derive information on suitability of the lighting conditions for analyte detection. The lighting conditions are indicated as suitable when a predetermined threshold amount of light intensity used for illumination of the test strip originates from the illumination source.\nInventors: Max Berg, Fredrik Hailer, Timo Klein, Bernd Limburg, Christian Melchinger, Volker Tuerck\nOptical display element and display device\nAbstract: A display element and a display device in which the display element is mounted. The display may be a variable message sign. The sign includes a tube-like housing in which lenses and apertures can be disposed. The light exiting a light source is emitted via an emitting surface, by way of which an illuminated traffic sign results from interacting with further display elements. The light source and the optical elements are disposed at different heights in the horizontally oriented housing. The optical axes can thereby extend horizontally, or the optical elements can lie on a main axis which is tilted downward in an radiation direction. In both cases, sunlight impinging from above at an angle advantageously falls on the LED to a slight degree, by way of which the phantom light phenomenon is minimized.\nAssignee: Siemens Aktiengesellschaft\nInventors: Axel Beier, Martin Franke, Stefan Nerreter, Volker Türck\nApplicant: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT"

"Pedro Sánchez He has done me a favor Mariano Rajoy by ringing the bells of the electoral advance. If the President of the Government calls for elections in April, the Cortes will be dissolved and the laws that are being processed will lapse as well as the rest of the parliamentary initiatives in progress. Thus, the various commissions of investigation that are followed in the Congress and the Senate will be deactivated.\nOne of those that has given more than talk is the famous commission of inquiry into the alleged corruption of the PP. They have paraded through it Esperanza Aguirre, José María Aznar, Francisco Álvarez Cascos, Jorge Fernández Díaz, Luis Bárcenas and Daniel de Alfonso. In the commission, chaired by the deputy of Nueva Canarias, Pedro Quevedo, there have been moments of tension, especially as a result of the interventions of the ERC representative, Gabriel Rufián.\nThe deputy of Citizens asked Melisa Rodríguez asked for the appearance of Mariano Rajoy, from the current PP spokesman in the Senate, Ignacio Cosidó, and the businessman Florentino Pérez, according to explain sources present in the meeting. The deputy of Podemos, Carolina Bescansa, added to that request, but to the surprise of Rodriguez and Bescansa, the PSOE rejected it. The Socialists argued that Rajoy has already left Moncloa with the motion and that his appearance in Congress is now unnecessary, according to the same sources.\nThe commission voted on the convenience or not of those appearances and the result was a tie two to two. So Quevedo, because of his status as president, had to exercise his vote of quality and tipped the scales in favor of canceling the appearances. Consequently, Rajoy will not appear before that commission to talk about the Gürtel as it was his predecessor Aznar's last September.\nThe members of the commission now have a few days to present their conclusions, but everything points to the fact that they will be caught by the election bull. The idea is to have the opinion ready on February 27, but if Sanchez dissolves the Cortes on March 5, there will be no more plenary sessions in this legislature. And the approval of the conclusions by the plenary is a requirement sine qua non so that they are valid.\nThe one that will also remain in water of booze is the commission that launched the PP in the Senate to investigate the doctoral thesis of President Sánchez. The popular, which have an absolute majority in the upper house, promoted in November this commission, which was constituted in December and which will now decline without even having started its work."

"Pirates of the Caribbean Pinball Machine\nDisney's Pirates of the Caribbean pinball features exciting elements from the first movie, as well as the box office record-breaking, Pirates of the Caribbean/Dead Man's Chest.\nPirates of the Caribbean offers the following features: A mechanical pirate ship that the player strikes with the pinball. With each hit, the ship lowers its sails and eventually sinks into the playfield, thus revealing a shot into the Kraken's mouth. In this area, the player can sink the ship, destroy the Kraken, and fight Davy Jones.\nA mechanical treasures chest, the Dead Man's Chest, through which the player can shoot the ball. When the player has the KEY, the chest opens. They can then spell H-E-A-R-T to begin HEART multi-ball.\nA contained spinning rubber disk where the player can capture up to three pinballs. The disk bounces them around in the contained area and holds them for an extended period of time till the player starts multi-ball. The disk sometimes represents Tortuga and other times Port Royal.\nA map compass comprised of playfield inserts that shows the player each feature they need to finish. Complete all eight features and play Four Winds Multi-ball.\nThis pinball was purchased from its original home owner. This game has never been in a bar, arcade or commercial establishment. This is a true one owner, home use only pinball machine. Although it is not new, it practically is as it was hardly ever played. You would be hard pressed to find a much nicer looking example of this title.\nThis pin has been shopped with the playfield cleaned and waxed. All rubber rings have been replaced with new. All lamps have been upgraded & replaced with premium non-ghosting CoinTaker LED's. The results look stunning. These LED's last longer, look better and consume less energy than standard incandescent bulbs. All game functions have been checked by a trained technician.\nIn addition the software on this game has been upgraded with custom audio featuring the original music score from the motion picture (which wasn't originally included on this pinball) as well as the song \"Yo Ho Ho\" from the Pirates of the Caribbean ride from Disney World. This new sound package on this game sounds amazing and adds a whole new level of excitement when playing this game.\nWe warranty the electronic PCBs for 30 days. Simply return for free replacement or repair.\n– Shaker Motor – $100 ($149 installed)"

"...and the feed continues with even more groups of \"entries\"\nObviously making individual links inside paragraph tags probably isn't what you want to be doing; it is just an easy example. You can tailor what markup is being created depending on your needs. The great thing is that this can be applied to any of the FeedStitch JSON feeds, and understanding how this works will allow you to use jQuery to parse any JSON feed.\nSo, you might be asking yourself \"Why use FeedStitch when I can use Yahoo Pipes?\" Good question, and I have gotten that question a lot. The answer is that you could do the exact same thing we made here with Yahoo Pipes since it offers a JSON feed as well. I actually think its an amazing service and I encourage everyone to try it out. Yahoo Pipes is great because it can do A LOT but for that reason it can be complicated for some people. FeedStitch was created to make it easy for anyone to do one thing: make a single aggregated feed of all their other feeds. Plus, you can share your FeedStitch feed with other people so it has more of a \"community\" feel to it. Try it out!"

Every collector probably has at one time or another; it kind of goes with the territory – along with casually changing the subject every time someone asks you how much you've spent on your new axe.\nBut imagine what would happen if that guitar was damaged in some way, or stolen: As well as the sentimental value, you could potentially be left out of pocket to the tune of hundreds, or even thousands of pounds.\nBe honest, when you add another guitar to the collection, do you update your home insurance? If you only buy two guitars in a year that could see your collection's value increase by £1000 or more, and before you know it you've got an awful lot of money's worth of wood and wire hanging around your house.\nIt's also worth finding out what your single item limit is on your home insurance; the last thing you need is to lose a prized instrument only to find that your provider won't cover the full cost in repayment.\nThere are a number of things you can do to keep the cost down when you're buying insurance as well; here are just a few things to consider:\n•\tFit five lever mortice locks and consider changing the locks – if your house has previous owners, you don't know who might have a key.\n•\tFit smoke alarms and give up smoking – both of these things can decrease your premiums by a noticeable amount.\n•\tJoin a neighbourhood watch scheme – this can reduce your premiums by up to 5%\n•\tInstall security lighting and a NACOSS approved alarm – these will also help to slash the cost of your insurance.\nObviously, things like this aren't only good for keeping your premiums down; they're also great for making sure your prized collection of gear doesn't end up in the wrong hands as well. Most thieves are opportunists, and as such a security light or clearly visible alarm sounder box on an exterior wall can make them think twice about trying your home, which is often enough to keep your possessions safe.\nToo many people do not adequately cover their homes, which can make an already difficult time (dealing with the aftermath of a fire, or burglary, for example) all the harder when their provider refuses to pay up for possessions they have lost. Don't let yourself fall into this trap, and check your cover.\nGuitarists lose vintage gear in Nashville flood\nNo Comments on Guitarists lose vintage gear in Nashville flood\nBrad Paisley is one of hundreds of Nashville's top stars, working musicians and tour support company owners who lost what will likely be millions of dollars in gear due the historic floods in Nashville.\nPaisley is one of an estimated 1,000 musicians and business owners who house gear at Soundcheck Nashville, a storage rental hub in an industrial park down by the Cumberland River. Owner Ben Jumper said the 160,000 square feet of space he rents out is all flooded and the losses will be in the tens of millions. The storage facility is full of classroom-sized \"lockers\" used to store gear.\nKeith Urban lost his gear. Friends say Vince Gill may have lost most of his entire guitar collection, including irreplaceable vintage pieces with historic value. A tractor-trailer full of LeAnn Rimes' road gear is also probably under 3 1/2 to 8 feet of water, her guitarist Ryan Wariner said.\nWariner is trying to be optimistic, but there's not a lot of reason for hope.\n\"Everything that I use but two guitars is in there — pedals, amps, speakers, mics, front house consoles, everything was in there,\" said Wariner, son of Grammy-winning country artist Steve Wariner.\nAnother major Soundcheck client was the recently opened Musicians Hall of Fame, which stored historic instruments donated by dozens of top players, not only within the country music world, but from rock, R&B, soul and jazz players.\nJoe Chambers, founder and chief executive of the Musicians Hall of Fame, which just opened a year ago, is distraught over the losses, but acknowledges that it could have been worse. \"So many people lost the pillow they lay their head on at night, much less a guitar. But the fact is, a lot of historical instruments were stored at Soundcheck.\"\nAmong those donated to the hall of fame were a Fender Stratocaster that belonged to Jimi Hendrix, a Gibson Les Paul played by the Who's Peter Townshend, and one of Johnny Cash's guitars.\n\"We had two of Lightning Chance's basses — he's somebody a lot of people don't know about,\" Chambers said, \"He played at the Grand Ole Opry alongside Chet Atkins, Patsy Cline, Hank [Williams] Sr., the Everly Brothers. Both those basses just fell apart. One of them was used on Hank Sr.'s very last recording session — that's the bass that's heard on 'Your Cheatin' Heart.'\"\nCollectable Guitars\nGenuine Hendrix owned Strat for sale at Vintage and Rare!\n1 Comment on Genuine Hendrix owned Strat for sale at Vintage and Rare!\nMy good friend Nicolai has a genuine Jimi Hendrix owned 1967 Fender Stratocaster for sale through one of his dealers (Rock Star Guitars) at his website, Vintage and Rare.\nThis sunburst guitar was given as a gift by Jimi in late 1968 to James \"Tappy\" Wright, who was a member of his management team along with Chas Chandler, of the Animals, who Tappy was also road manager for.\nThe guitar is currently on display in the Nashville Musicians Hall Of Fame and Museum and was the subject of various lawsuits over the years as the Hendrix estate tried to claim back ownership.\nThese lawsuits are now all settled, and the guitar is available for sale with full legal backing.\nThe historically interesting guitar is for sale for £260,000 and you can read more and see other photos on the vintage and Rare website.\nThe Strange World of Guitar Pick Collecting\n9 Comments on The Strange World of Guitar Pick Collecting\nI found this interesting little article yesterday; A subject close to my heart as I have a fair few \"famous\" guitar picks from my time working at Wembley Arena in the early 1980's.\nUnfortunately, many were unbranded, and over the years I have forgotten who owned what – It's a shame that Angus Young and George Benson both favoured identical picks! I do have a few nice ones though; Rick Nielson from Cheap Trick, JY and Chuck from Styx, and a cool one that says \"misplaced by Mick Jones\" from Foreigner.\nHere's the article…\nIf you've ever wondered what all those guys were doing, eyes cast down, shuffling their tired feet, milling about at the front of the stage after Van Halen were safely in their buses and on the way to the next city… well, they were probably looking for guitar picks. Collecting custom imprinted picks is a collector craze that is still in its infancy but growing. Scott Roderick from www.swag.com, the biggest pick retailer in the world, thinks it's catching on quicker than James Hetfield's pick-clutching right hand.\n\"Guitar-pick collecting started off as a very cult-ish hobby and probably started gaining credibility somewhere around the mid-80s,\" said Roderick. \"A lot of stuff isn't documented. Once again, it's still somewhat a new hobby. But actual signature guitar picks, from bands, really started probably in the late '70s, with bands like Van Halen. These old white on tortoise, or block black print on white are some of your earlier styles. And there were a few, Ted Nugent, I believe, had one, J. Geils; there were a handful of acts. But generally they're block-type prints, very plain-looking. It's the same as with backstage passes. You look at the old backstage passes, and there aren't a lot of graphics. Basically it's somebody's stamp; not very graphically pleasing. But those are some of the first ones.\nSo generally they were white print or black print with the name of the band. But yeah, one guy looks at another and says, 'Oh man, you've got your name printed on a pick; that's cool.' And one picks it up and then another picks it up, and before you know it, there are a lot of picks out there. And then some time in the early '80s, you started seeing different colors, band logos, signatures printed on them, different materials.\"\n\"There are really just a handful of companies who actually make these for the bands, one being Jim Dunlop, also D'Addario, D'Andrea,\" explained Scott, when asked about print runs of something like a guitar pick. \"Those of the three major players. There have been others who've come and gone…. plus Ernie Ball was in it for a time. They don't even have records or samples of something that they printed 20 years ago. Nobody ever thought — and I'm speaking for them; they would be the ones to really ask to get the best answer — but they didn't even think that this would be something people would think about collecting.\nIt's really been since the mid-80s that somebody really started to go for this. I always like to use the analogy: Remember when we were kids and we took baseball cards and put them in the spokes of our bikes, or glued them into our books? Exactly. Well, now, nobody would ever think of doing that. So that's my analogy with guitar picks. Nobody thought of these things as collectible. So there weren't good records kept.\"\nEmphasizing the fact that the history can be lost, Scott said, \"There have been times where you go backstage and you show an artist 60 different picks. 'Look, I'm a collector, and here are all your picks.' Sometimes they don't even remember some of them. A lot of them grew up in the '70s and '80s. [laughs] And a lot of times, the guitar techs are responsible for specifications, and if that particular guitar tech is no longer with the band, some of the history goes away with that person.\"\nGoldminemag.com\nJeff Beck insures his fingers for £7 million\n1 Comment on Jeff Beck insures his fingers for £7 million\nGuitar hero Jeff Beck has insured each of his fingers for £700,000 after accidentally chopping off the tip of one digit.\nThe 65-year-old had his mishap as he sliced carrots at his home in Sussex, reports The Daily Mirror.\nDoctors sewed the tip of his left index finger back on but then he struggled to finish his new album Emotion and Commotion.\nTherefore, he has now raised his insurance cover on his hands five-fold – making his 10 digits worth £7million.\nA source close to the former Yardbirds star said: \"Jeff was making a stew when he cut his finger clean off.\n\"Thankfully surgeons were able to patch it up.

Steve Morse was one endorsee of the Fender Lead, and the whole series were probably designed to cash in the fashion for single pickup, Van Halen style superstrats  in the late '70s and early '80s\nIn 1979, Fender introduced the Lead I. The Lead I had a only one pickup, a humbucker in the bridge position. The Fender Lead series models all had the 25 1/2 inch scale length  of a Fender Stratocaster and  all Lead models were available with either maple or rosewood fretboards.\nThe Fender Lead I controls are unique. There is a 3 position pickup selector switch (Neck pickup, Neck & Bridge parallel mix, Bridge pickup) a phase switch, a master volume control, master tone control. The volume and tone potentimoters are 250k and the tone capacitor is 0.05 uf ceramic.\nThe Fender Lead I was manufactured until the end of the Lead series in 1982. The price of a Fender lead I in 1979 was $399.\nToday a Fender Lead I in excellent condition sells for up to $1000.\nThe Lead II was also introduced in 1979.\nIt featured Two specially designed X-1 single coil pickups. The X-1 pickups were promoted as \"wide range single coils\" and are slightly hotter than a standard Strat of that era.\nBoth the Lead I and Lead II were normally finished in either black, wine red or brown.\nToday a Fender Lead II in excellent condition sells for around the same price as the Lead 1.\nThe Lead III was manufactured in 1982 only. It had 2 humbuckers.\nAll of these guitars are becoming collectable now, as they are American made Fenders  and the youngest are at least 25 years old, which gives them an intrinsic value. They are quite rare, but still affordable, so it it worth tracking them down and snapping them up when available.\nTags Collectable Guitars, Fender, Fender Lead 1, guitar collecting\nRIP T-Bone Wolk\nNo Comments on RIP T-Bone Wolk\nThis is a personal one for me..\nI was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of one of my all time bass heroes, T-Bone Wolk last week. Hall and Oates were one of my favourite bands for at least 20 years, and I saw them live on numerous occasions, always with T-Bone laying down the groove.\nAs a bass player he was a massive inspiration to me and I spent many hours working out his licks and stealing his grooves.\nHe was one of the busiest session musicians in the industry, having worked with some of the most popular artists in the past and the present, including Bette Midler, Carly Simon, Billy Joel, Robert Palmer, and Avril Lavigne among the artists he had worked with.\nRIP T-Bone…the bass world won't be the same without you.\nTags T Bone Wolk\nJohnny Marr's Stolen Gibson SG is Returned\nNo Comments on Johnny Marr's Stolen Gibson SG is Returned\nFormer Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr is \"ecstatic\" after one of his favourite guitars was returned to him – 10 years after it was stolen.\nMarr's treasured vintage 1964 Gibson SG vanished after a show with his band Johnny Marr and the Healers in London in 2000.\nThe musician was so upset by the theft, he offered a reward for information leading to the return of the guitar, which has an estimated value of £30,000.\nNow he has finally been reunited with the instrument – after a guilt-ridden fan confessed to the theft.\nStephen White admitted stealing the guitar on the \"spur of the moment\" after he was invited backstage following the gig. He took it home by taxi and has kept it in his living room ever since – but was arrested earlier this year after cops received a tip-off.\nAt Highbury Corner Magistrates Court in north London last week, White pleaded guilty to theft, admitting he feels \"disgusted\" with himself.\nPolice Constable Christopher Swain said Marr is \"ecstatic\", adding: \"He bears no malice towards the defendant… The guitar did have a high sentimental value to him.\"\nA spokesman for Marr says, \"He is obviously very happy to have his guitar returned.\"\nWhite was sentenced to 200 hours community service.\nTags Gibson Guitars, Gibson SG, Johnny Marr\n3 Comments on But is it art?\nI don't know…I have very mixed feelings about birds playing guitars!\nTrained as a musician and composer, French artist Céleste Boursier-Mougenot creates works by drawing on the rhythms of daily life to produce sound in unexpected ways. His installation for The Curve will take the form of a walk-though aviary for a flock of zebra finches, furnished with electric guitars and other instruments and objects.

More recently he has been a member of David Coverdale's Whitesnake.\nThis is signature guitar produced by Ibanez in the early 90's is probably the guitar Reb is most closely identified with, in particular in his Winger days. Designed by Reb \"on the back of a napkin on a plane flight when I'd had quite a bit to drink!\" the guitar's design echoes design features of some of Reb's favourite guitars of the time, in particular the Steinberger GM model with its rear cutout.\nThe RBM1 and RBM 2 were the original Japanese models and later came the RBM 10 and 400. All Designed by Reb himself, the Voyagers combine great looks with a good tone. They were made with a Hawaiian Koa top on a mahogany body and a 22 fret maple neck with Bolivian rosewood fingerboard (also known as Pau Koa) and round clay dot markers.\nEarly models were fitted with EMG pickups; and 85 humbucker and two single coil SAs. Later models had Ibanez single coil SB10 pickups on the neck and middle positions and an Ibanez HB10 humbucker on the bridge. Early original models had a locking Floyd Rose tremolo system while later cheaper models were fitted with Ibanez's own floating Lo-Pro trem. Most models came with gold hardware. Top of the line models were the Japanese made RBM2NT down to the Korean made RM10 model\nThe RBM model was Made in Korea at the Cort factory, and is pretty rare today. Quality is good, (being an Ibanez guitar) and the body shape is unusual without being too outlandish.\nThese days Reb has an endorsement deal and signature model with Suhr guitars, but still plays an RBM live ocasionally\nTags Ibanez, Ibanez guitars, Ibanez RBM, Ibanez RBM Voyager, Ibanez Voyager, Reb Beach Model\nConan O'Brien Talks About Guitar Collecting\n2 Comments on Conan O'Brien Talks About Guitar Collecting\nI came across this interesting clip today..I had no idea he was into guitars.

Kiesel.\nMr. Kiesel was born in Nebraska in 1915, and as a young man, spent time in Wichita, Kansas, where he developed an interest in musical instruments; specifically, Hawaiian steel guitars, resonators and the electronic aspects of these instruments.\nHe founded the L. C. Kiesel Company in 1946, and began winding pickups on an old sewing machine owned by his wife, Agnes. The company was located in Los Angeles, briefly relocated back to Mr. Kiesel's home state of Nebraska, and then moved back to southern California in 1949, where the name was changed to Carvin, after his two eldest sons, Carson and Gavin.\nIn the following years, the company expanded from pickups to guitars and basses, amplifiers, pro audio equipment and other musical accessories.\nMr. Kiesel's leadership, technical expertise and innovative engineering concepts led the company for decades, and even after handing the reins of the company over to his sons, he maintained an office in Carvin's San Diego headquarters and remained active in company operations.\nHe will be greatly missed and fondly remembered by the Kiesel family and the entire staff of Carvin.\nTags carvin, lowell kiesel\nKirk Hammett's ESP Guitar for sale at $35,000\n1 Comment on Kirk Hammett's ESP Guitar for sale at $35,000\nA ten year old guitar played by Metallica lead guitarist Kirk Hammett is on sale online for $35,000. Hammett used the ESP Flying V guitar live on stage prior to August 1998.\nSeller Neals Vintage Guitars is offering up the instrument on eBay.com for the fixed price.\nA statement from the seller reveals, \"Kirk played this guitar in concert quite a bit!

Even old things would find a new use one day, dad used to say.\nHe not only kept things that were obviously meaningful–such as his old grammar school notebooks or his collection of corny, handwritten jokes he kept just in case he needed a groaner for a party.\nHe also saved stuff that no one else would think of keeping–like the hang tag for the 1956 Fender Esquire he bought in Saskatchewan not long after my parents immigrated to Canada.\nFate delivered a cruel blow about three decades ago when dad was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. The tremors first began in his right hand–his scalpel hand–and my father had to give up surgery.\nSoon it became too difficult for him to play the guitar and the Fender was tucked into its bag and stashed away.\nAbout a decade ago, my brother-in-law expressed interest in learning how to play the guitar so my father gave him the Fender. But just like I never used that sewing machine I bought on a whim many years ago, my brother-in- law never got around to taking guitar lessons.\nSo the lonely Fender sat untouched in their basement for years.\nA couple of years ago, after my father died, my brother told some of his guitar-playing friends about the Fender. After seeing photos of it, they concluded: \"Dude, this is a serious guitar!\"\nThey sat my brother down in front of the computer, showed him some vintage guitar sites and it slowly dawned on my brother that my dad's old guitar might be quite valuable.\nStill, procrastination set in and my brother didn't actually take the guitar in to be appraised until a couple of weeks ago.\nAs my brother tells it, the vintage guitar specialist \"opened up the case, looked at it quietly for about 30 seconds and his eyes lit up.\"\nThat specialist, Chris Bennett, of the Twelfth Fret in Toronto, spent about 45 minutes examining the guitar. He took it apart to check out the markings and electronics, then put it back together and played it briefly.\n\"Other employees kept coming over to see what he was up to and they universally had the same reaction: 'Holy (bleep)!' \" recalls my brother. \"There was a buzz in the store.\"\nMy father probably paid about $180 for the Fender when he bought it in 1957, says Bennett. The Esquire, introduced in 1950, and played by musicians such as Jeff Beck when he was with the Yardbirds, was a big seller.\nIn fact, Fender now has a custom shop that recreates those pieces for about $3,000, says Bennett.\n\"It's a way of connecting with the past and getting one of those guitars without paying $15,000 and up for them,\" he explains.\n\"It's a lovely guitar. It definitely made my day,\" he says of my dad's Fender. He appraised it at $25,000 US because it's in great shape, hasn't been altered and it's got the original hang tag and carrying bag.\n\"My eyes bugged out,\" says my astonished brother. \"I was gobsmacked,\" adds my mom.\nPerhaps my Irish father always knew he'd immigrate to western Canada. Long before he ever bought the Fender, he was strumming songs such asRed River Valley, Home on the RangeandRidin' Down the Sunset Trailon earlier guitars.\n\"(The guitar) was just occupying space as far as I was concerned,\" says my mom. \"I've decided that I probably won't throw anything away.\"\nMindelle Jacobs\nTags Fender, Fender Esquire, Fender Telecaster\nInside the Trussart Guitar Workshop\nNo Comments on Inside the Trussart Guitar Workshop\nMost guitar collectors will be aware of James Trussart's wonderful metal bodied creations.\nThe expensive hand-produced Telecaster, Jazzmaster and Les Paul shaped works of art are all individual; some are painted, some are bare metal, some are rusty, some a re a combination of all of these.\nThe article below is a fascinating look behind the scenes of the Trussart LA workshop.\nTags James Trussart, Steelcaster, Trussart Guitars\nCollectable Guitars pt 37 – Jackson Roswell Rhoads\n4 Comments on Collectable Guitars pt 37 – Jackson Roswell Rhoads\nThe Jackson Roswell Rhoads was a very rare, limited edition guitar made in 1997. It was a limited run of 123 guitars, and was a twist on the classic Jackson Randy Rhoads shape, with a UFO theme running through it.\nThe body, instead of being made from wood, was made of 6061-T6 aluminium, an aircraft-grade metal which was hand-carved and polished in the Jackson Custom Shop. The guitar featured a single humbucker and a fixed bridge.\nIt also had a set maple neck with a satin grey finish, and the tuners were unusual LSR gearless types.\nThe Roswell's body shape was based on the popular Randy Rhoads shape drawn up by the late guitarist in 1980, but the famously angular, pointy shape of the regular RR model was ditched in favour of a much more curvy design, which kept the basic shape but warped the body into an asymmetrical \"U\" shape as opposed to the regular model's offset V shape.\nThe inlays were crop circle designs, befitting the alien/jet age theme of the guitar.\nThe name was taken from the location of a supposed alien space craft crash in the 1947, Roswell, New Mexico.\nThe original Roswell Rhoads was only built for a short time, in incredibly limited numbers, but has gained a cult following.\nThe shape is still available, although only through Jackson's custom shop, and if you want one you'll have to settle for wood instead of aluminium.\nThe Roswell was priced at a truly huge £3,999 when it was launched 13 years ago, and original, aluminium-bodied examples fetch even more than that today; Gbase currently have one for sale at $5000.\nThere is, however, a more mainstream guitar which retains the same kind of shape as the Roswell and comes at a much less extravagant cost, in the form of Gary Kramer Guitars' Kramertorium model.\nThis is a newer model featuring a Floyd Rose tremolo and EMG pickups, for a price of around £500.\nIf you can't find a Roswell Rhoads or don't have the money, this new guitar could be a very realistic alternative.\nTags Jackson Guitars, Jackson Roswell Rhoads, Roswell guitar\nA Desktop Reference of Hip Vintage Guitar Amps\nNo Comments on A Desktop Reference of Hip Vintage Guitar Amps\nThis book by Gerald Weber looks like an interesting reference…\nA Desktop Reference of Hip Vintage Guitar Amps (Book)\nIf you have questions about guitar amplifiers-how to fix them, how to restore them, or how to hot-rod them-this book has the answer.\nThis book is written for the guitarist or collector who desires a common sense approach to understanding the essence of vintage tube amps and vintage tube tone.\nNot written for engineers, it does not contain engineering formulas, polar mathematic equations, or abbreviations that are assumed you should know.\nGerald Weber, a regular columnist for Vintage Guitar magazine, shares the knowledge he has accumulated over the years of repairing and building his line of Kendrick amps.\nTags guitar amplifiers, guitar amps, old guitar amps\nGary Moore's 1958 Gibson Les Paul Standard For Sale\n3 Comments on Gary Moore's 1958 Gibson Les Paul Standard For Sale\nA snip at $275,000!

Obtaining a pristine and exemplary '59 'Burst and modifying it for heightened performance and vastly expanded tonal options? Unheard of… unless, of course, you're Jimmy Page.\nThat's exactly what the legendary Led Zeppelin guitarist, perhaps the world's most iconic Les Paul player, did with his own '59 Les Paul Standard, and now, thanks to the extreme efforts of Gibson's Custom Shop and the intimate cooperation of Jimmy Page himself–the artist's hallowed \"Number Two\" Les Paul is available to mere mortals, in the form of the Custom Shop Jimmy Page \"Number Two\" Les Paul.\nProduced in strictly limited numbers, with two levels of aging, this guitar captures the look, feel, sound, and versatility of one of the greatest artist-owned Les Pauls of all time, and it is likely to disappear from authorized Gibson dealers in record time.\nThe 1959 Les Paul that has come to be known as \"Number Two\" was purchased by Page in 1973 after trying for some time to acquire an exceptional second Les Paul.\nThis was several years after having acquired his other legendary Les Paul–\"Number One\", a '59 'Burst with shaved-down neck profile and no serial number–from Joe Walsh. \"Number Two\" was essentially all original when he acquired it. Jimmy did have some modifications done to the neck shape so that it would more nearly match the feel of his \"Number One\". The neck is certainly slim but not to such extremes as the now-ultra-slim neck on \"Number One\". It had a strong, beautiful sunburst finish with a red element that had faded to a dusky amber-brown, along with a clear serial number dating it to 1959. Page played this Les Paul frequently through his days with Led Zeppelin, and in the early '80s decided to make it an even more versatile instrument.\nPage also added that he wanted to \"explore the full range of what the two humbuckers have to offer\". He designed a switching system for coil splitting, series/parallel, and phase-reverse options for both pickups, and employed a skilled electronics technician to devise a working schematic and make his sonic vision a reality.\nThe result comprised a push/pull pot on each of the guitar's four standard controls, plus two push-button switches hidden beneath the pickguard, all mounted on a '59 Les Paul Standard that is otherwise a superb example of the breed, both in tone and playability.\nThe Custom Shop Jimmy Page \"Number Two\" Les Paul was recreated with intense, inch-by-inch examination of Page's original guitar, inside and out. The process of getting it right involved the production of a number of hand-built prototypes, each of which was checked and critiqued in detail by Page himself. Approval of the final iteration was only offered after the legendary artist had intricately examined and extensively played this last prototype in his London home, after which it was given the thumbs-up, worthy of being the template for the Custom Shop Jimmy Page \"Number Two\" Les Paul.\nOnly 325 examples will be produced in total: The first 25 instruments are to be aged by vintage-reproduction master Tom Murphy then inspected, played and hand signed and numbered by Jimmy Page personally. An additional 100 guitars will be given the extensive aging treatment and 200 will be finished to Gibson's VOS specs.\nTags Gibson, gibson les paul, Jimmy Page, Jimmy Page Les Paul\nNew Fender Guitars Book\nNo Comments on New Fender Guitars Book\nA friend of a friend has a new book about to be published about Fender's golden period, 1946-1970.\nFender: The Golden Age\nHere are the details, from Amazon:\nLeo Fender's guitars have arguably had the greatest influence on modern music than any other make of guitar.

The previous instalments of this series are here\nAfter investigating various varnishes and lacquers, and taking advice from friends who know about this type of thing, I went for an oiled finish rather than a painted one. The problem with varnishes is that inevitably the finish will get damaged at some point and begin to chip away, looking pretty nasty over time.\nOiling leaves a nice satin finish and brings out the grain of the wood, while giving a reasonable amount of protection. I headed off to my local DIY warehouse and bought a large tin of Danish Oil for under a tenner, which will probably be enough to refinish every Westone Cutlass in existence! Applying it couldn't be easier…tip some sparingly onto a clean duster and stroke it into the wood, keeping the coverage as even as possible. It dries in about 15-20 minutes and then you can keep adding layers (3 or 4) until a decent covering has been built up.\nIt looks pretty dark when first applied, but lightens up as it dries and soaks in, leaving the colour only slightly darker than the bare wood. When it has dried for a while the finish is buffed over with another clean duster to remove any excess and give a nice satin sheen.\nI left it for a few hours to be sure it was fully dried out and then began re-assembly. I screwed the neck and bridge back into place and reinstalled the springs on the trem block.\nMost of the wiring was already in place as the scratchplate was fully assembled when I got the guitar, but I had dis-assembled it when I repaired the crack. I refitted the pickups and pots, and reattached the wires for the humbucking pickup which had become detached.\nI did a quick test by plugging in a lead to the jack socket and my amp and tapped the pickups with a  screwdriver to check I had sound, and as all seemed ok I went ahead with re-fitting the scratchplate assembly.\nAfter that, it was just a case of re-stringing and setting the bridge. The neck was perfect and didn't need any truss rod tweaking so the whole re-assembly took less than an hour. A real pleasure after the hassles with the Westone Thunder 1-T rebuild.\nThis is a GREAT guitar. I love the feel and the sound of it, It's beefier than a Strat, but still capable of subtle tone variations. The humbucker (by Gotoh, I believe) screams nicely and the whole package is well balanced and well made.\nTags Westone, Westone Cutlass, Westone Rebuild\nBB King's Lucille Comes Home\n6 Comments on BB King's Lucille Comes Home\nI found this great story by Eric Dahl on the Guitar Center blog, so I thought I'd pass it on;\nI'm one of those people that is always in search of the next cool guitar so I frequent all of the Las Vegas pawn shops, music stores, Craig's List and of course Ebay. I'm also an avid reader of several musician magazines including Vintage Guitar Magazine, Premier Guitar and Guitar Player, which help keep me current on vintage and new guitar gear.\nThis all began back on September 10th when I was contacted by a pawn shop that I had bought several other guitars from in the past, about a Lucille they had for sale and wondered if I would be interested.\nBeing a huge fan of BB King of course I was. On the phone they told me it was an 80th Birthday Lucille model which I had never heard of! So I started doing research with anyone and everyone I knew that could help me out. I found out from Gibson, that 80 of them were created for BB King's 80th Birthday in 2006 and that they sold new for almost $10,000.\nEach one was issued with a letter from BB King also and only 44 were sold in the US. As you can imagine I was pretty hyped up. When I got to the pawnshop I was disappointed to find that the guitar had been gigged hard, was covered in filth, had pick scratches and even some small dents from being played. The shop would not budge on the price. It did not have certificates and the case wasn't the original. I flipped the guitar over and looked at the headstock expecting to see the standard serial numbers. To my surprise \"Prototype 1\" was stamped just below where the headstock serial should be. I figured this was a fake or a really cool piece that had once been approved by BB King then given away to a fellow musician, friend of the family or relative.\nOf course I bought it and took it home and cleaned on it for a few hours trying to buff off the grime and scratches, oiled the fret board and put on new strings. That is when my research really began. I couldn't find anything about the 80th model in my Gibson or Gruhn reference books, just a few stray articles on the web. I contacted Walter Carter, the author of numerous guitar reference books and part of Gruhn Guitars in Nashville; he had no idea and had never seen a stamp like that on back of a guitar.\nThen I contacted my Guitar Center friends here in Las Vegas and in LA, still no idea. Even sent pictures to Wally Marx, writer for Vintage guitar and Premier Guitar, and he had no idea. So I went back to Gibson customer service and played e-mail tag with Bob Burns for two months trying to find out if this was a prototype, if so did BB play and approve it, who built it, and how much it was worth? I was pretty much at my wits end and was ready to give up the quest. One day I was doing a guitar search on the web for a different guitar and found a contact with Blue Book Publications. It ends up he's the owner of the company, Zachary Fjestad, super nice guy and flipped him pictures of my 80th Lucille.\nHe sent me more information than anybody else did all the way from Minneapolis, Minnesota their corporate headquarters! I kept bugging Gibson every week too and my contact told me that he had a guy there at the custom shop that knew something about my guitar and he was going to call me.\nFinally on November 9th I get a call from Pat Foley, he is the Gibson Artist Relations Director out of Nashville. I assumed he was calling me up to give me some juicy details on the guitar and did he ever. First off he asked me if I still had the guitar here in the United States, which kind of seemed odd to me since where else would I keep it? Then I started asking him a series of questions as well.\nIt ends up the guitar was stolen from BB King, the beginning of summer 2009. The guitar had been presented to BB in 2005 by Gibson for his 80th birthday present in Los Angeles. Also this was Mr. King's main gigging guitar for the last four years and he was so upset when it was stolen that he asked the Gibson Custom shop to make him as close a replica as possible.\nMr. King's people and Gibson were very pleased that I did not try and sell this to a collector in Japan and that I was more than willing to return it to Mr. King the rightful owner. In appreciation BB and his Assistant, Lavern Toney worked with Gibson to have a guitar present for our meeting on November 30th at 3pm yesterday. Mr. King exceeded my expectations with his friendly greeting. He kept thanking me and shaking my hand and was so happy to get his Birthday present back that was stolen from him.\nI got the experience of a lifetime to meet Mr. King in person and talk to him for 45 minutes. Plus he signed a Lucille to me, gave me some BB guitar picks to use and signed my BB King Treasures book. He wants of a copy of our picture together to put up at his office. I'm just happy that I was able to return a prized guitar to one of my guitar idols and inspirations so he can continue to give joy to so many other blues fans around the world!\nGuitar Hero Games Foster Interest In The Real Thing\n2 Comments on Guitar Hero Games Foster Interest In The Real Thing\nOnce frowned upon by just about everyone, video games are breeding a new generation of musicians. Most guitar teachers and competent players will tell you two things about the video games Guitar Hero and Rock Band . One; they stink at them. Big time. Two; they're bad for music. Playing fake music on fake instruments is more geared toward the thugs in Stanley Kubrick's \"A Clockwork Orange\" or the futuristic slugs in Mike Judge's \"Idiocracy.\" They fear kids will become prodigies at playing a video game instead of mastering a real instrument. For 11-year-old Jack Press of Delaware, the games provided a musical revolution inside his still-expanding mind. When he was 9, he and his brother Brogan saved up to buy Guitar Hero. Â At the time, Jack was mostly into pop like Michael Jackson and Pink, but playing along to tunes by the likes of Ozzy Osbourne, AC/DC and Aerosmith pushed him more toward rock. By the time he was 10, Jack was ready for a real instrument. \"Guitar Hero sort of inspired me to play drums,\" said Jack, who takes lessons with teacher Tony Mowen at the Center for Creative Arts in Yorklyn. \"When I started to play Guitar Hero, it made me listen to rock more. I like that a lot better now.\" Jack's story is by no means unique. Despite fears the video games would drive kids away from taking up real guitars and drums and pianos, the opposite is proving true. Kids are taking up an instrument after playing one of the video games and catching the music bug. Blake Carlisle, who teaches guitar basics at Earle Teat Music in Delmar, said most of the kids who come in for lessons were inspired by Guitar Hero or Rock Band. He said about 50 percent stick with it, but he still sees the games as a positive influence. \"It's definitely been very good for us,\" said Carlisle, who has been teaching guitar for more than 10 years. \"I think kids that normally would be playing video games now pick up instruments. I think it's very good to get someone into it.\" Millions of copies of the video games have been sold, mostly to young people. With the Christmas shopping season in full swing, various Guitar Hero and Rock Band incarnations will be flying off shelves and into the hands of new players, potentially creating more future musicians.

Declaration requirements went into effect in May of this year.\nAccording to the EIA, which fought for more than a decade to get the amendment passed, Gibson is the first in the country and, by default, the world, to be investigated under the new provisions.\nPenalties for violations of the Lacey Act range from a simple forfeiture of goods to fines of up to $500,000 and prison time if the company or individual is found to have knowingly engaged in the trade of illegally sourced wood.\nAgents with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service executed a search warrant at Gibson's Nashville guitar plant on Tuesday.

He has also persuaded a few collecting friends of his to indulge too, and between them the Spectrum collection is now in double figures. So what's all the fuss about? The reason is, these are great guitars... versatile, with an extra tone eq pot and great for gigging with. They have an 80's vibe about them (don't get too near that pointy headstock!), and the quality of the construction is undeniable.\nThe sparkle finish model (top left) is a special order, but the rest are all original.\nThese are still pretty cheap guitars, in the £300-500 price range, but prices are steadily climbing, probably due to my mates hoovering them up at a rate of knots!\nIf this style of guitar is of interest to you I'd start looking soon. As always, I'd recommend going for originality and  good condition to help safeguard future values, but I'd be quick, because as soon as funds allow I'll be out there looking for an orange one too!\nIn the meantime, here's a little bit more information about Charvel Spectrums.\nTags Charvel, Charvel Spectrum, charvel superstrats, Japanese Guitars\nRelic your guitar parts\nNo Comments on Relic your guitar parts\nI found this interesting video yesterday.

Instead of using a Stratocaster-body style, it used one with a Jaguar/Jazzmaster body style.\nIt was also a departure from the typical \"Stratocaster\"-style headstock, instead featuring a long headstock nicknamed the \"hockey-stick\" headstock. The Electric XII used a unique split pickup design and had a 4 way pickup selector allowing for neck, neck & bridge in series, neck & bridge in parallel and bridge only options. It also used a string-through-body design similar to a Telecaster to help increase sustain.\nDesigned by Leo Fender, the Fender Electric XII was introduced in late 1965 with the bulk of the production taking place in 1966 before it was discontinued around 1970.\nUnlike its competitors' electric 12-string models which were simply existing 6-string guitars with six extra strings, the Fender Electric XII was a purpose-built 12-string designed to capture a part of the folk-rock market.\nThe headstock was a departure from Fender's usual Stratocaster-style shape and is sometimes referred to as the \"hockey stick\" headstock.\nLeo Fender's bridge design for this model is elegantly simple, works extremely well, and is regarded by many as one of his best designs of the 1960s. The bridge has an individual saddle for each string making precise intonation possible. The design is also string-through-body which helps to increase sustain.\nPerhaps the most famous user of the Fender Electric XII was Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page who used one to record \"Stairway to Heaven.\"\nOther notable users of the Electric XII were Pete Townshend, who used it extensively on the album Tommy, and folk-rocker Tim Buckley. Johnny Winter also used one briefly (strung as a regular six-string) during the late 1960s and early 1970s.\n1960's models currently sell for around £2000-2500.\nTags Fender, Fender Electric 12, Fender Electric XII\nWestone Cutlass Rebuild pt 2 – The Body and the Scratchplate\n2 Comments on Westone Cutlass Rebuild pt 2 – The Body and the Scratchplate\nAs I said in part one of the Westone Cutlass rebuild, I have decided not paint this guitar, but to keep it natural looking.\nThe original body finish was a pale, yellowy clear lacquer which suited the look of the guitar, but now has some quite deep scratches and dents on the front, back and upper horn (see pic).\nUnlike a painted finish, it isn't possible just to sand back the top coat and use wood filler to fill any blemishes. As the wood will be on display under a few coats of wood oil, the base has to be as perfect as possible.\nThis lead to a hot sweaty Sunday afternoon with an array of different types of sandpaper and a sanding block to remove all traces of the old finish and the blemishes. I was lucky, none of the marking was so deep that it couldn't be sanded out, and after an hour or two I had a pristine body, looking as good as the day it was cut! The grain is very attractive, with some darker marks behind the bridge area which look like scratches, but and just part of the natural colouring of the Alder body.\nThe scratchplate damage is the other main issue with this guitar, but it is fixable with no huge chunks missing; just a split below the bridge and a little piece gauged out. I have mentioned in the Westone Thunder rebuild series that my other hobby is building model cars. This comes in useful with guitar repairs too, as I am used to doing close intricate work, and I also have a large array of tools and items for manipulating plastic.\nOne such item is a product called microballoons, which is a filling material. It is basically a very fine white resin powder which is mixed with superglue to produce a sandable filler which sets almost instantly. I began by gluing the crack in the scratchplate with superglue, then when that had dried, I used the microballoons to build up the surface again to the previous level.\nOnce this had dried, I carefully sanded back the excess coloured the white microballoon area with a black felt tip pen. It's not perfect, but it's a solid repair and hardly noticeable now the guitar is back together.\nNext instalment will be about oiling the body and putting it all back together.\nTags Westone, Westone Cutlass, Westone Guitars, Westone Rebuild\n1958 Gibson Les Paul Standard is up for Auction\n1 Comment on 1958 Gibson Les Paul Standard is up for Auction\nCalifornia Auctioneers will be auctioning one of the rarest rock guitars in the world; The 1958 Gibson Les Paul Standard.\nAn amazing collection of over 70 Autographed guitars of the who's who in rock n roll, contemporary art, and a rare collection of Marilyn Monroe and Michael Jackson Memorabilia.\nOn Sunday Oct 11th, 10 am California Auctioneers will be selling one of the rarest rock guitars in the world; The 1958 Gibson Les Paul Standard.\nThe guitar is a one owner guitar, and is completely original.

Disputed were claims by Experience Hendrix LLC that the guitar was stolen shortly after Hendrix's death in 1970, or that it never belonged to him at all.\nAfter two court trials and appeals, the estate settled with Rock Stars Guitars earlier this year for an undisclosed sum and an agreement that Experience Hendrix will give up its claim to the guitar.\nAs the story goes, Hendrix gave the guitar to roadie James \"Tappy\" Wright as a gift around 1968.\nRock Stars Guitars owners, Greg Dorsett of San Diego and David Brewis of England, said they bought it from Wright in 1999 for $60,000.\nWhen the company tried to auction it on eBay in 2001, Hendrix's estate halted the sale by questioning its ownership.\nA lawsuit followed, ending with a verdict two years later that ruled in favor of the businessmen. The jury awarded the partners $131,000, saying Hendrix's estate prevented them from getting market value on the guitar.\nBut after subsequent appeals, the case finally resolved in January with the settlement.\n\"I see this settlement as a complete vindication,\" Dorsett said in a statement. \"Hopefully the litigation experience has only added to this guitar's unique history.\"\nTags Fender Stratocaster, Jimi Hendrix\nCollectable Guitars pt 35 – Fender Duosonic\n1 Comment on Collectable Guitars pt 35 – Fender Duosonic\nThe Fender DuoSonic guitar was first produced by in 1956.\nIt was meant to be a student guitar. It featured a short, 22.5 inch, scale length that was considerably shorter than the 25.5 inch scale used on standard Fender guitars.\nThe DuoSonic, which is sometimes spelled as Duo-Sonic or Duosonic, has two, single coil, pickups and a vertical pickup selector switch that is placed on the lower horn of the body.\nDuo-Sonic II\nFender released a new guitar called the Mustang in August 1964. This guitar was an economy model and was designed for student guitarists. This guitar featured a new design of tremolo arm that many guitarists found impractical. At the same time Fender also release the Duosonic II which had the same offset waist body but did not have the tremolo arm.\nFender discontinued the Duo-Sonic II in 1969.\nThis model was only in production for 5 five years. It has become Fender guitar that has a growing collector value due to its rarity and player demand.\nMany guitar players prefer the Duo-Sonic II to the similar Fender Mustang. This is because they prefer the more practical fixed bridge to the Duosonic II as compared to the troublesome tremolo bridge of the Mustang.\nThe Duo-Sonic is closely identified with Liz Phair though it was used by David Byrne of the Talking Heads early in their career as well as Jimi Hendrix (when he toured the under the name Jimmy James with The Isley Brothers).\nJohnny Winter also used a modified Duo-Sonic during the late 1960s and early 1970s, particularly on his first few albums.\nPatti Smith also plays a Duo-Sonic and has featured her guitar in song lyrics, for example in \"Radio Ethiopia/Abyssinia\" from the Radio Ethiopia LP.\nTom Cummings from Human Condition uses the late 90's remake Duo-Sonic.\nThe Duo-Sonic I and II are both considered rare and have displayed growing collector value. The Duo-Sonic II in particular is often seen as a desirable alternative to the more popular Mustang, since it negates the difficult-to-maintain tremolo bridge.\nFender have recently re-issued very cheap \"Squier\" version of the duosonic, but original 60's ones are still available for under $2000. Well worth a look at that price!\nTags Collectable Guitars, Fender, Fender Duosonic\nWestone Cutlass Rebuild pt 1 – The Background\n6 Comments on Westone Cutlass Rebuild pt 1 – The Background\nWhen I first started this site, one of the reasons was to get back into restoring, customising and fiddling with guitars.\nI have played around with guitars all my playing life (30 years this month!) as most of us players do. It is always useful to know how to fix your own gear, and sooner or later a pickup will need changing, or a machine head will break and all of a sudden you find yourself up to your eyes in bits of guitars.\nLast year I was browsing Ebay and I found a Westone Thunder for sale in appalling condition. It really was the worst I had seen, with virtually every piece of it broken in some way. I bought it and restored it, and the story is on this blog here.\nAs part of  the process during the restoration, I used my Twitter account to alert readers to new updates, and to publicise this blog. I was contacted during the build and asked if I would be interested in restoring another Westone.\nIt's a Westone Cutlass, which was built in the UK, not Japan in the late 90's and is actually a really nice guitar. I have been researching them and I've put togther a short history of the Westone Cutlass here.\nThis one was in pieces, but complete when I got it with a few scratches and marks in the clear lacquer, and a small break in the scratchplate, near the bridge. Originally it was to be painted in the same colour blue as my Thunder, but after discussion we decided it would look better natural, in keeping with its original look.\nHere are a few shots of the guitar as recieved, next installment will deal with the body refurbishment.\nBill Wyman criticises 'Guitar Hero' style video games\n6 Comments on Bill Wyman criticises 'Guitar Hero' style video games\nBill Wyman, the former bassist of the Rolling Stones, has claimed that Guitar Hero, Rock Band and other music games discourage children from learning real instruments.\nHis criticism comes on the eve of the release of  'The Beatles Rock Band' computer game, which allows players to play along with to band's back catalogue.\n\"It encourages kids not to learn, that's the trouble. It makes less and less people dedicated to really get down and learn an instrument,\" Wyman told BBC News. \"I think it's a pity so I'm not really keen on that sort of stuff.\"\nNick Mason of Pink Floyd supported Wyman's comments, saying, \"It irritates me having watched my kids do it. If they spent as much time practising the guitar as learning how to press the buttons they'd be damn good by now.\"\nHowever, he also confessed he wouldn't mind his band's tracks being used on such games as they provide a new audience for their songs, adding, \"I think everyone's looking at new ways of selling the music because the business of selling records has almost disappeared\".\nAlex Rigopulos, one of the co-founders of the company that creates the Rock Band games, defended his product and claimed, \"We're hearing from fans who were inspired by Rock Band to start studying a real instrument\".\nThe Guitar Hero series alone has sold more than 25 million games globally collecting revenues of $2 billion and can claim Simon Cowell among its celebrity fans.\nTags Beatles Rock band, guitar hero\nCollectable Guitars General\nSteve Lukather sells his surplus gear on Ebay\nNo Comments on Steve Lukather sells his surplus gear on Ebay\nEx Toto guitarist and all round session superstar Steve Lukather has listed a whole bunch of instruments and gear on Ebay through L.A.

It took a bit of head scratching and some advice from a few knowledgable friends to finally solve the issue I had with an earth type buzz. It turned out I had bought a stereo jack socket and wired it wrongly. Once that was solved, and I found a great wiring diagram from the fantastically useful Westone Info site I was sorted. I used new shielded cable for all the new wires and resoldered all the joints on the existing wiring.\nAll that was then left to do was restring it and set it up. After a little tweaking of the string heights it was playing great.\nIt's a heavy guitar..almost in Les Paul territory..and this adds to the feel of solidity when you play it, although I think the shape is more comfortable than a Les Paul. The pick ups are gutsy, and the coil tap switch adds a nice dimension, allowing some decent \"thinner\" single coil tones through for clean picking. The worn lacquer on the neck sides adds to the \"patina\" of playing an older guitar, and the paint finish, although not perfect, is certainly a big step from the way it looked when it arrived!\nOverall its a versatile guitar and well beyond the feel of being the budget instrument it was originally marketed as.\nSince this project started I have been approached to do another westone rebuild, a Cutlass, which is in much better shape. I'll be filling you in with the details in the next post.\nThanks to everyone who has commented on this project, particularly the guys and girls over at the Westone Forum for their advice and encouragement.\nTags Westone, Westone Guitars, Westone Rebuild, Westone Thunder 1\nEpiphone 1966 \"worn\" Wilshire\n4 Comments on Epiphone 1966 \"worn\" Wilshire\nA year or so after Epiphone's lovely but hugely expensive 1962 Wilshire reissue, they have now announced a much cheaper, but just as tempting 1966 model, in the nicely faded \"worn\" range. The following is directly from the press release;\nEpiphone brings back the Wilshire with a faithful reproduction of the 1966 model. Like an SG guitar, the Wilshire's double cutaway Mahogany body with a glued-in Mahogany neck that joins the body at the 22nd fret gives you ultimate upper fret access.\nLightweight and comfortable, the Wilshire has excellent resonance and natural acoustic tone – even unplugged! Featuring Epiphone's LockTone tune-o-matic/stopbar combination, the transfer of string vibration is improved even more giving this guitar excellent sustain and clarity. But here's what separates the Wilshire from the SG. Most early Epiphone guitars including the Wilshire were equipped with mini-humbucking pickups and Epiphone carries on this tradition.\nWith its smaller size, narrow magnetic field and unique design combination, the mini-humbucker produces bright and focused output while retaining famous humbucker \"hum-free\" performance. A replica of the originals, they feature adjustable pole pieces, enamel wire, bar ceramic magnets and rounded nickel plated covers set in an original style black mounting ring with height adjustment screws.\nCool Retro-Looks! Also unique, the Wilshire features Epiphone's own \"batwing\" headstock. A classic design that improves tuning ease and accuracy by offering a straight string-pull design, the headstock is adorned like the original with the vintage \"Epiphone\" logo in gold. Other features include a 1960's SlimTaper neck profile with Rosewood fingerboard, premium 14:1 die-cast tuners and individual Volume and Tone controls for each pickup. And to give it that worn-in look and feel, Epiphone tops it all off with a thin satin finish.\nNo word on prices that I can find, but the other \"worn\" guitars aren't too expensive, so I think these guitars will offer great value and a nice retro/vintage vibe. I'll be getting one!\nTags Epihone 1966 worn Wilshire, Epiphone, Epiphone Wilshire\nCollectable Guitars pt 34 – Gibson Nighthawk\n5 Comments on Collectable Guitars pt 34 – Gibson Nighthawk\nGibson's radical Hawk series was another shortlived attempt to modernise Gibson's image in the 1990s. It lasted from 1993 to 1998 and the series comprised 5 models.\nIn the mid 1980s Gibson released new models that were nothing like previous ones to try and compete with new companies in the market.\nThe Corvus (radical new shape, covered elsewhere on the site), Victory (Strat shaped), RD Artist (Firebird shape with complex active electronics) and M-III (superstrat, also on the site) were launched and all three were shortlived and relatively unsuccessful.\nTen years later another such attempt to crack a new market was planned. This time Gibson played it slightly safer by using an updated version of the Les Paul shape, an iconic Gibson trademark.\nHowever, this body was less well-proportioned than Gibson's original, and as such looked vaguely like a squashed Les Paul.\nThis did the model no favours.\nThe pickups were two stacked P-90s on the semi-acoustic Blueshawk, two standard humbuckers on the Hawk model, one standard and one slanted humbucker on the Nighthawk Standard, and the same on the Special and Custom Nighthawks, but with a single-coil in the middle position.\nThe Nighthawk Custom had a flamed maple top and a Floyd Rose tremolo. All the Nighthawks had a maple top and a mahogany body, the basic Hawk did not have this luxury, and the Blueshawk had a maple top and a chambered poplar body with f-holes.\nThe guitars were unsuccessful and were unceremoniously dropped in 1999, apart from the Blueshawk which continued until 2006.\nValues now are available on the very good website www.blueshawk.info, from which I found that Blueshawks retailed for £792 new (price taken from 2002 catalogue) and are now worth about £550 for a good example. Nighthawks are similar in value but because of all the different models used prices vary.\nTags Collectable Guitars, Gibson Blueshawk, Gibson Guitars, Gibson Nighthawk\nFree Guitar Collecting Ebook!\n11 Comments on Free Guitar Collecting Ebook!\nWe have put together a free ebook for all our visitors as a thankyou for your support over the last few months.\n\"25 Cool Signature Guitars\" is almost 50 pages long and is available for free download by filling in your name and email address on the right.\nWe are also giving you permission to copy, give away and redistribute our book as many times as you like, just so long as you don't alter it in any way.

In fact, some counterfeiters or sellers of these fakes now even refer potential buyers directly to one website in an effort to verify the 'authenticity' of the fake guitars they're peddling.\nFor example, one consumer recently forwarded Gibson's manager of brand protection, Ric Olsen, a craigslist.org posting, wherein a fake guitar was being sold as an authentic Gibson. The ad read: \"I am selling this beautiful Silverburst Les Paul Custom. Please note that though the headstock says Gibson, it is not a Gibson, but rather an Epiphone. You can verify this by putting the serial number, 08015553, into the following database: www.guitardaterproject.org.\"\nWeb sites such as Guitar Dater Project also claim to be capable of identifying Fender, Ibanez and Yamaha guitars. Olsen wanted to be clear that this site and others like it — intentionally or not — are perpetuating the counterfeiting epidemic, one that is built on this kind of misinformation. With the years of shipping records in manufacturer's books and dozens of variations on numerical schemes used across the years, decoding serial numbers isn't an art that any one guitar aficionado, or piece of software, can undertake.\n\"Although Guitar Dater Project may correctly identify a guitar here and there based on historical data uploaded, it is a very unreliable way to truly identify and authenticate a Gibson or Epiphone guitar,\" said Olsen.\n\"I could give you a serial number from a fake right now, and you could enter it on this Web site, and it would tell you it's a real Gibson or Epiphone. But it's definitely not.\"\nCounterfeiters are taking advantage of Guitar Dater Project and other similar websites by sending in a bulk of fake serial numbers. This data is uploaded and subsequently appears to show that particular serial number as authentic.\nThe Guitar Dater Project said that it: \"aims to provide you with the information hidden in your guitar's serial number in plain English. It is a work in progress and is constantly evolving, much of which is due to user feedback.\"\nOlsen warned that there are some easy ways to detect an incorrect reading from the site.\n\"If you come across, say, a 'brand new' guitar, but the serial number tells you it's anything older than one year ago, question it,\" he said.\n\"If you're looking at a piece that is older than one year old and it's being sold as 'new,' that's a red flag because a lot of these fakes are coming with serial numbers that actually roll to a manufacturer date of up to five years ago or longer.\"\nGibson has issued legal notices to the Web site to simply post a disclaimer but they haven't responded.\nFor more information on identifying a guitar by its serial number, click here.\nFrom MIPro.co.uk\nTags counterfeit guitars, guitar collecting, guitar identificataion, guitar information\n← Newer Posts 1 2 3 4 Older Posts →\nPaul on Collectable Guitars pt 28 – Daion Guitars\ndave engle on Alan Rogan Interview\nDaniel S Duffy on Collectable Guitars pt 39 – Fender Lead 1, 2 and 3 Models\nSteve Roslund on The 1970s Japanese Copy Guitars boom\nJohn brown on The 1970s Japanese Copy Guitars boom\n© 2021\tGuitar Collecting"

"A BRIEF HISTORY OF FURNITURE\nPrehistoric Furniture\nWhen people learned to farm and lived in permanent settlements they began to make furniture. In Europe, some of the earliest known furniture comes from a stone-age village at Sara Brae in the Orkney Islands in Scotland about 2,000 BCE. The stone age farmers lived in stone huts with roofs of whalebone and turf. Inside they made stone furniture such as cupboards and beds.\nAncient Egyptian Furniture\nMeanwhile, in Egypt rich Egyptians lived in large, comfortable houses with many rooms. Walls were painted and the floors had colored tiles. Inside their homes, rich Egyptians had wooden furniture such as beds, chairs, tables, and chests for storage. However, instead of pillows, they used wooden headrests.\nOrdinary people lived in simpler homes made of mud. People may have slept on the flat roof when it was hot and they did most of their work outside because of the heat. For the poor furniture was very basic. Ordinary Egyptians sat on brick benches around the walls. They used reed chests or wooden pegs on walls to store things.\nAncient Greek Furniture\nIn Ancient Greece even in a rich home furniture was basic. The Greeks stored things in wooden chests or hung them from wooden pegs on the walls.\nA rich home would also have a dresser to display expensive cups. People reclined on couches (which could also act as beds). The couches were simply wooden frames with rope webbing and mats or rugs laid on top.\nRoman Furniture\nIn Rome, rich people enjoyed luxuries such as mosaics and (in colder parts of the empire) panes of glass in windows and even a form of central heating called a hypocaust. Wealthy Romans also had wall paintings called murals in their houses.\nThe wealthy owned very comfortable furniture. It was upholstered and finely carved. People ate while reclining on couches. Oil lamps were used for light. Of course for the poor Roman furniture was very basic and sparse.\nSaxon Furniture\nLife even for rich Saxons was hard and rough and furniture was very simple. Usually, in a Saxon hall, there was only one room shared by everybody. The thanes (upper-class Saxons) and their followers slept on beds with straw mattresses and pillows but the poorest people slept on the floor.\nVery little is known about Saxon furniture but it must have been basic and heavy such as wooden benches and tables although upper-class Saxons liked having tapestries on their walls. There were no panes of glass in windows, even in a Thane's hall.\nFurniture in the Middle Ages\nIn Saxon times a rich man and his entire household lived together in one great hall. In the Middle Ages, the great hall was still the center of a castle but the lord had his own room above it. This room was called the solar. In it, the lord slept in a bed, which was surrounded by curtains, both for privacy and to keep out drafts. The other members of the lord's household, such as his servants, slept on the floor of the great hall. At one or both ends of the great hall, there was a fireplace and chimney. However, in the Middle Ages chimneys were a luxury.\nAbout 1180 for the first time since the Romans rich people began to have panes of glass in the windows.\nMedieval furniture was very basic. Even in a rich household chairs were rare. Most people sat on stools or benches. Rich people also had tables and large chests, which doubled up as beds. Rich people's homes were hung with wool tapestries or painted linen. They were not just for decoration. They also helped keep out drafts. In the Middle Ages furniture (for the rich) was usually made of oak.\nIn the 16th-century life became more comfortable for the wealthy. Furniture was more plentiful than in the Middle Ages but it was still basic. In a wealthy home, it was usually made of oak and was heavy and massive. 16th-century furniture was expected to last for generations. You expected to pass it on to your children and even your grandchildren. Comfortable beds became more and more common in the 16th century and increasing numbers of middle-class people slept on feather mattresses rather than straw ones.\nIn the 16th-century chairs were more common than in the Middle Ages but they were still expensive. Even in upper-class homes children and servants sat on stools. The poor had to make do with stools and benches.\nDuring the 16th-century glass windows became much more common. However the poor still had to make do with strips of linen soaked in linseed oil.\nChimneys were also a luxury in the 16th century, although they became more common. Poor people simply had a hole in the roof to let out the smoke.\nIn wealthy Tudor houses the walls of rooms were lined with oak paneling to keep out drafts. People slept in four-poster beds hung with curtains to reduce drafts. In the 16th century, some people had wallpaper but it was very expensive. Other wealthy people hanged tapestries or painted cloth on their walls.\nNone of the improvements in 16th-century furniture applied to the poor. They continued to live in simple huts with one or two rooms (occasionally three). Smoke escaped through a hole in the thatched roof. Floors were of hard earth and furniture was very basic, benches, stools, a table, and wooden chests. They slept on mattresses stuffed with straw or thistledown. The mattresses lay on ropes strung across a wooden frame.\nIn the late 17th-century furniture for the wealthy became more comfortable and much more finely decorated. In the early 17th century furniture was plain and heavy. It was usually made of oak. In the late 17th-century furniture for the rich was often made of walnut or (from the 1680s) mahogany. It was decorated in new ways. One was veneering. (Thin pieces of expensive wood were laid over cheaper wood). Some furniture was also inlaid. Wood was carved out and the hollow was filled in with mother of pearl. At this time lacquering arrived in England. Pieces of furniture were coated with lacquer in bright colors.\nFurthermore, new types of furniture were introduced in Stuart times. In the mid 17th century chests of drawers became common. Grandfather clocks also became popular. Later in the century, the bookcase was introduced.\nChairs also became far more comfortable. Upholstered (padded and covered) chairs became common in wealthy people's homes. In the 1680s the first real armchairs appeared.\nHowever, all the improvements in Stuart furniture did not apply to the poor. Their furniture, such as it was remained very plain and basic.\nIn the 18th century, the wealthy owned comfortable upholstered furniture. They owned beautiful furniture, some of it veneered or inlaid.\nIn the 18th century, much fine furniture was made by Thomas Chippendale (1718-1779). In 1754 he published a catalogue The Gentlemen and Cabinet Makers Director. Another furniture maker was George Hepplewhite (?-1786). In 1788 his widow published a book of his designs The Cabinet Maker and Upholsterer's Guide, which had a big influence on Regency furniture. Thomas Sheraton (1751-1806) was a cabinet maker. In 1791-93 he published his designs in The Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterer's Drawing Book. The famous clockmaker James Cox (1723-1800) made exquisite clocks for the rich.\nIn America, the first great cabinet makers were Duncan Phyfe (1768-1854), John Goddard (1724-1785), and Samuel McIntire (1757-1811).\nAs usual furniture for the poor remained basic and sparse.\nWell off Victorians lived in very comfortable houses. (Although their servants lived in cramped quarters, often in the attic). For the first time, furniture was mass-produced. That meant it was cheaper but unfortunately this led to a fall in design standards. To us, middle-class Victorian homes would seem overcrowded with furniture, ornaments, and knick-knacks. However, only a small minority could afford this comfortable lifestyle.\nIn the early 19th century the poorest people slept on piles of straw because they could not afford beds.\nIn the early 19th century skilled workers usually lived in houses with two rooms downstairs and two upstairs. The downstairs front room was kept for the best. The family kept their best furniture and ornaments in this room. They spent most of their time in the downstairs back room, which served as a kitchen and living room. As the 19th century passed more and more working-class people could afford this lifestyle.\nAt the start of the 20th-century working-class homes had two rooms downstairs. The front room and the back room. The front room was kept for the best and children were not allowed to play there. In the front room, the family kept their best furniture and ornaments. The back room was the kitchen and it was where the family spent most of their time. Most families cooked on a coal-fired stove called a range, which also heated the room.\nThis lifestyle changed in the early 20th century as gas cookers became common. They did not heat the room so people began to spend most of their time in the front room or living room, by the fire. Rising living standards meant it was possible to furnish all rooms properly not just one. During the 20th century, ordinary people's furniture greatly improved in quality and design.\nIn the 1920s and 1930s, a new style of furniture and architecture was introduced. It was called Art Deco and it used geometric shapes instead of the flowing lines of the earlier Art Nouveau. The name Art Deco came from an exhibition held in Paris in 1925 called the Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs.\nIn the late 20th century Britain became an affluent society and standards of furniture for ordinary people continued to rise.\nTwo famous furniture designers of the 20th century are Ron Arad (1951-) and John Makepeace (1939-).\nLast revised 2021\nCategorised as Daily Life in the Past\nA HISTORY OF HOMES\nA HISTORY OF WORK"

"Most houses were made of brick. The banks of the Nile provided the mud used to make bricks . Brick makers collected mud, added straw and water to it as needed, and stomped it with their feet until it reached the right consistency. The mixture was then placed in a mould. Once shaped, the bricks were removed from the mould and left on the ground to dry in the sun.\nEgyptian peasants would have lived in simple mud-brick homes containing only a few pieces of furniture: beds, stools, boxes and low tables.\nCross-section of a typical house in the workers' village at Deir el-Medina. The workers who built the tombs in the Valley of the Kings lived in this village.\nDrawing: Catherine Fitzpatrick.\nCraftworkers lived in one- or two-storey flat-roofed dwellings made of mud bricks. The walls and roof would have been covered with plaster and painted. Inside, there was a reception room, a living room, bedrooms and a cellar in which food and beverages were stored. Food was prepared in an outdoor kitchen equipped with a mud-brick oven. Stairs on the exterior of the house led to a roof-top terrace.\nThe homes of the wealthy were larger and more luxurious. Spacious reception and living rooms opened onto a central garden courtyard with a fish pond and flowering plants. Each bedroom had a private bathroom, and the walls, columns and ceilings were painted with beautiful designs inspired by nature. Elaborate and highly decorated furniture included beds, chairs, boxes and tables. Painted clay pots and vessels, as well as alabaster bowls and jars, were also found in the homes of the nobles.\nHouse in a garden with pools.\nPainting: Winnifred Neeler, Royal Ontario Museum\nRoyal palaces, frequently cities in themselves, included separate residences, a temple and a workers' village."

"During Old Testament times, children of the Bible lands often lived in tents. Those who left Egypt with Moses to travel in the wilderness for 40 years, for example, never had a permanent home while they were growing up. Abraham was also a nomad (a person who moves from place to place) for much of his life. And while Lehi and his family journeyed from Jerusalem to the sea, and after they reached the Promised Land, they lived in tents, too.\nThese tents were probably much like the tents still used today by the nomadic peoples of the Middle East. They were likely made of cloth woven from goats' hair. Wooden rings for the poles that held the tent up were stitched into the cloth. There were usually three rows of poles, with the middle row being taller than the outer rows. Ropes were stretched from the poles on the outside walls of the tent to the ground, where they were staked.\nMost tents were divided into two sections. One section was a kind of open porch, which was used for receiving guests. The other section, which was curtained off, was usually used as the women's quarters and as a storage area. The floor was often just dirt, but sometimes it was covered with woven mats. There was little or no furniture in these dwellings, and children and their parents slept on straw mats rolled out each night and put away each morning.\nOnly those children whose families were able to stay in one place long enough lived in permanent homes.\nGenerally the homes had only one room, not much bigger than the average tent, and they were made of mud bricks.\nTo make the bricks, a builder first dug a hole in the ground. Into this hole he put a mixture of dirt, water, chopped straw, palm fiber, and bits of shell and charcoal. Then he stomped on it until it became pliable. This mixture was poured into wooden molds to form the bricks, which were either left to dry in the sun or dried in a large oven called a kiln. The stronger, kiln-dried bricks were used for the foundations. Only those who were lucky enough to live near rock quarries or mountains were able to use roughly formed stones in their foundations, instead.\nA mud mixture was used as mortar to hold the bricks in place and as a kind of plaster for the walls. When it rained, sometimes the water soaked through the mortar and the walls, making the home a very damp place. Because the roofs were formed by placing brushwood, dirt, and clay on top of wooden beams, the rain also caused grass to grow on them. Sometimes small animals were allowed to graze on the roof.\nWindows in these homes were few in number and small in size. In summer they were covered with a wooden lattice, and in winter with a heavy cloth.\nAs time went on, improvements were made in Old Testament housing, but many of the children who loved and followed the early prophets lived in goats-hair tents or mud-brick homes."

"While dimensions were given as it regarded the linen and the goats' hair coverings, no dimensions are given regarding the rams' and badger skin coverings. The two inner layers (cherubim and goat) are curtains. While the two outer layers (rams' skin and badger skin) are called coverings. And even though dimensions are given for the first two curtains, no dimensions are given for the two outer coverings.\nThe ram is the animal of substitution. It takes the place of another, as seen in the story of Abraham and Isaac. The ram was used in the Trespass Offering (Leviticus 5:15), Burnt Offerings (Leviticus 8:18) and the Peace Offerings (Leviticus 9:4). It is also called the \"Ram of Consecration\" (Exodus 29:15-22). The ram was used in the consecration of the priest to minister (Leviticus 8:22).\nThese rams' skins, being tanned, were dyed red, and probably resembled the leather still sold in Syrian towns. The Israelites would find no difficulty in supplying them, since they were rich in flocks and herds.\nThe rams' skins covering, then, foreshadowed Christ as the head of His people (the \"sheep\") perfectly consecrated to God. As a child it was the Father's business which occupied Him (Luke 2:49).\n\"I must work the works of Him that sent Me\" (John2:17).\nBut the rams' skins were \"dyed red,\" which pointed to bloodshedding. Not only did Christ live for God, but He also laid down his life in obedience to the Father's command (John 10:18).\nI am currently studying Ministry at Point University and I would love to receive information on anthing about the Old Testament in refrence to Jesus and how the Tabernacle of meetings leads us to information on the coming of Christ."

"Sublimation - Mind, Matter, Concept in Art after Modernism\nReport by Laura Domes, Laura Gvenetadze, Christopher Nixon, Katharina Täschner\nSublimation – Mind, Matter, Concept in Art after Modernism\nJohannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, 14–16 December 2017\n[report on behalf of the organisers]\n\"Take a chemical process, a philosophical concept, a set of artistic practices, put them together and see how they react.\" This experimental idea by Annika Schlitte and Christian Berger (2017) was at the core of their interdisciplinary conference \"Sublimation – Mind, Matter, Concept in Art after Modernism\", held at Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz from December 14–16, 2017. With a close concentration on the term's relation to conceptualist art practices of the 1950s to 1970s, they have brought together a wide range of international speakers, giving equal consideration to both European as well as American scholarship.\nThe conference's agenda drew significantly from its dual art historical and philosophical perspective. Building on a critical reading of Lucy R. Lippard and John Chandler's 1968 notion of a \"dematerialization of art\", the theoretical framework of sublimation eventually opened a fundamentally new and productive perspective on the complex interrelations of materiality and immateriality in post-war American art. Sublimation, in its various contexts, carries meanings of elevation, ennoblement, and even dissolution. Nevertheless, it is strictly bound to questions of materiality, since it always describes the transformation of matter into something else. Matter and its transformation, especially in the case of conceptualist works of the 1960s, thus play a crucial role in the production and reception of art. Accordingly, the scientific and philosophical dimensions of the term went hand in hand throughout the conference. In scientific terms, sublimation is the direct conversion of a solid substance into a gaseous state. However, sublimation most famously entered psychoanalytic discourse as defined by Sigmund Freud, who described it as the transformation of libido into artistic energy. Sublimation thus not only alludes to the increased artistic use of volatile substances throughout the \"long Sixties\" (Arthur Marwick), but can equally evoke a socio-cultural perspective relating to the artwork's production as well as its reception.\nThe German phenomenologist Günter Figal (Freiburg) delivered the conference's first keynote lecture. Building upon Aristotle's thought, he developed concepts of object, matter, and space that he then applied to James Turrell's installation \"Open Field\" at Chichu Art Museum in Naoshima, Japan, and on Morton Feldman's musical composition \"Rothko Chapel\". Figal argued that even the non-tangible matters of light and sound are connected to the genuine conditions of the artwork's spatial appearance.\nIn his consideration of Dan Flavin's fluorescent light installations, Vangelis Giannakakis (Frankfurt) began the first panel by offering another perspective on Figal's thesis. Referring to Jacques Rancière's concept of the aesthetic regime of art, he focused on the split between materiality and intangibility by the example of the neon tube as a commonplace item and as an artwork. According to Giannakakis, the artwork depends on the recipient's imagination in order to sublimate the mere thingness. This emphasizes the importance of the audience and, at the same time, questions the traditional role of the artist in the creation of art. This shift of perspective is also crucial to the work of the Italian artist Piero Manzoni, as Lara Demori (Munich) demonstrated in her talk. In positioning a sublimated concept of the artist against the banality of the act of inflating a balloon, Manzoni jeopardized the concept of a preserved and authentic artwork. Anna-Rosja Haveman (Groningen) analysed \"The 5 Continent documenta 7\" by James Lee Byars. Protesting against Documenta's Western-centric perspective, Byars developed several performances, which are by definition ephemeral. Additionally, he sent 300 letters on fragile black paper, one of which Haveman rediscovered in the archives of the Groningen museum. Byars' work therefore illustrates the challenging relationship between an artwork's concept and its material foundation.\nThe second panel dealt with phenomenon of dissolution as a method of artistic labor as it relates to the term sublimation. Annemarie Kok (Groningen) showed that the complex intertwining of motion, energy, matter, creation, and destruction that David Medalla developed in the quasi self-dispersing foam-sculptures of his \"Bubble Machines\" was updated and enhanced in the ephemeral sculptures comprised of participants´ bodies during his later collaborative and performative artwork. Thus, the collaborative process offered a complementary conception of sublimation as dissolution, which could eventually function as a social and spiritual utopia. To further examine the ways artists composed works with only the slightest trace of the material, such as air or other volatile substances, Friedrich Weltzien (Hannover) focused on works by Yves Klein, the ZERO group, and the Japanese Gutai Art Association. Departing from the physiochemical requirements of sublimation, he identified the different implications of sublimation that served as a basis for the presented artworks. Antje Krause-Wahl (Frankfurt) offered a perspective on artistic approaches to the dematerialization of the artwork itself by means of a material that actually sublimates in the physicochemical sense of the term: Judy Chicago´s and James Rosenquist´s works with dry ice. Citing the use of dry ice in military contexts during the Cold War era as additional context for these works, she stated that sublimation in its artistic usage could be conceived as a metaphor for dissolution in social and political instances and that it may therefore be understood as a medium of political criticism. The last presentation of the panel was given by Adi Louria Hayon (Tel Aviv), who interpreted Bruce Nauman's works as reflections on mathematician Kurt Gödel´s incompleteness theorems. She showed that while Nauman explored the relationships between body, perception, technology and the production of knowledge within the means of art, he used the operation of sublimation as a perpetual process by continuously failing said operation.\nThe third Panel concentrated on the bodily experience of artwork and time, processes of sublimation that take place in the body of the viewer, and in the bodies of paintings. Closely connected to this are psychoanalytical concepts that try to answer the question about the function of art and its relation to the psychological object – ideas of practice (discipline) and theory (doctrine). Christa Noel Robbins (Charlottesville) showed how Kenneth Noland's series of circular paintings could be meant for practical use in psychoanalytical therapy and were therefore intended to provoke a physical reaction in the viewer by means of the artworks' \"hypnotic opticality\". The act of psychological sublimation thus begins in the eye of the beholder. Martin Barré's non-figurative paintings, as interpreted by Claire Salles (Paris), create a similar experience. By confronting the beholder with the thickness of paint and halo-like pentimenti on unprimed canvas, Barré destabilizes the viewer's notions of foreground and background, and thereby plays a role in criticizing the Greenbergian notion of \"flatness\" as the most essential quality of painting. Speaking in Lacanian terms, these paintings, far from having any concrete use or function, are elevated objects that bring the viewer nearer to the \"thing\".\nLynn M. Somers (Madison, NY) pointed out that Louise Bourgeois' \"Janus\" series is closely connected to the concept of transformation that constitutes sublimation. Bourgeois' ambisexual sculptures made of 'noble' materials recall the tradition of male Western sculptors, while at the same time destabilizing the viewer with their ambiguity and multiple layers of meaning. Bourgeois' strong interest in psychoanalysis lets us perceive her art-making as a cathartic experimentation. Art, a form of neurosis, can be understood as a passion transformed, as Freud had stated. Another approach to art is bound to the experience of time. In his works on elements, Gaston Bachelard used the term \"nostalgia\" to describe the series of fragments that constitute time – which is, for Bachelard, a personal concept that each individual must work to grasp. Dylan Trigg (Vienna) talked about different concepts of duration, nostalgia for a lost world, and Bachelard's poetic instant with respect to Joel Sternfeld's polaroid photographs of traumatic places. Nevertheless, his concept of vertical time cannot free itself of a certain valorisation embedded in the notions of up/down or high/low.\nJames Nisbet's (Irvine) second keynote lecture on Robert Barry's \"Inert Gas Series\" addressed an archetypical example of an artwork from the 1960s that focuses on the alleged dissolution of matter. The inert gases released by the artist expanded infinitely, almost dissolving completely, but without allowing the molecules to mix with the atmosphere. The concept of \"sublimation\" thus helped explain the fundamental leap in the reception of Barry's work from an environmental to an ecological perspective. Taking into account the large number of posters, photographs, and other documents that are the material traces of Barry's performance, Nisbet argued that it may be understood as \"sublimating\" from the strict boundaries of its own specific environment to the wider field of (material and personal) interconnectedness and relativity.\nThe Kunsthalle Mainz hosted the fourth and last panel of the conference. Seated amongst the site-specific works of Daniel Buren and Bettina Pousttchi on display at the Kunsthalle, the four speakers reflected on different relationships between matter and concept, with a strong emphasis on sculptural practices, Land Art, and photography. Julia Polyck-O'Neill (St. Catharines) began the day with a close and highly contextualized reading of Rosi Braidotti's philosophical theories. In order to explore the potential of photography to construct subjectivity, she analysed works by Jeff Wall with respect to their inherent conceptions of the photographic medium as epistemic and ontological. Polyck-O'Neill argued that this opposition could address conceptual photography's relationship to notions of the subject. The talks by Andrew Chesher (London) and Dominic Rahtz (Canterbury) that followed then opened complementary perspectives on situation- and process-oriented artistic practices. On the one hand, Chesher carried out an archaeology of Robert Morris' changing phenomenological approaches to sculpture in his article series \"Notes on Sculpture\" and the essay \"Anti-Form\". On the other, Rahtz took up Chesher's observation of a \"desublimation of Gestalt\" in Morris' writings and focused on shifting processes in Richard Serra's \"Splashings\". Referring to Dan Graham and philosopher Gilbert Simondon's idea of \"in-formation\", he argued for a temporal understanding of material formation that considers changing constellations of artist, work, and viewer. A similar approach to sculpture in the 1960s also motivated Marin R. Sullivan's (Keene, NH) case study of Robert Smithson's \"Asphalt Rundown\". In her talk, she analysed photography's role in the transformation of the work, allowing it to exist in multiple registers of a complex multimedia system. Rather than clearly prioritizing its photographic manifestation or the action itself, Sullivan clarified how Smithson's ambiguous use of photography could direct the viewers' experience towards the sensation of an \"elsewhere\" or towards an abstraction of the earthwork at hand, even though in Smithson's artistic agenda the photographic medium as such only serves as a means to an end.\nIt became clear during the conference that sublimation is indeed a helpful term for describing and understanding the transformational processes of matter in conceptualist artworks of the long 1960s. The correlation between matter and energy that is inherent to sublimation emerged in many of the presentations, which then thematised different types of energy such as temperature, electricity, and labour. Of paramount importance was the question of containment, because the artists under consideration worked with diffuse materials that they then framed or contained (even if it were only within the \"system\" of art). Finally, the concept of sublimation illuminates two important dimensions that constitute the artwork and its institutional perception: one physical (what is happening in an artwork?), and one theoretical (what is happening to an artwork?). Both as physicochemical process and as personal experience, sublimation questions the gap, shift, and transfer between two states of matter.\nFurther information on the conference:\nhttp://sublimation.uni-mainz.de\nLaura Domes, Laura Gvenetadze, Christopher Nixon, Katharina Täschner: [Conference Report of:] Sublimation - Mind, Matter, Concept in Art after Modernism.

"Watson and the Shark is one of the famous oil paintings by the American artist, John Singleton Copley. There are two other paintings depicting the same subject; but this one is the most well-known. The subject is based on the shark attack that took place in Havana, Cuba in 1749 where a 14 year old boy, who lost his leg due to the attack, was successfully rescued on the third attempt. This painting juxtaposes the feeling of terror and triumph."

It is mentioned in the inventory of cardinal Leopoldo de' Medici's collection with its correct attribution, but by the time it was mentioned in the Gallerie fiorentine inventory of 1796 it had been misattributed to Francesco Salviati, a misattribution which lasted until 1825.

"A Christian painting which is thought to have been made by a Japanese Christians about 400 years ago was discovered near Tokyo. It was found at a memorial museum in Oiso Town in Kanagawa Prefecture.\nExperts who examined the painting said it was done with China ink on a hand scroll measuring 22 centimeters wide by 3 meters long and made of Japanese \"washi\" paper.\nThe painting depicts 15 scenes relating to Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary, including the Annunciation and the Pentecost.\nAn analysis showed that the writing on the painting was Latin prayers that someone transcribed from a verbal form. The words \"the year of 1592\" appear at the end of the scroll. Experts say it is highly likely that the painting was made in that year, after their analysis.\nChristianity came to Japan 40 years before that year. The experts say they believe that Japanese Christians of the time reproduced Western religious paintings for use in their prayers. The experts say this is the first discovery of a religious painting done in the Japanese traditional style.\nThe work is considered to be one of the oldest paintings made by a Japanese Christian. It is thought to be the first one to be found to include prayers. This is a significant discovery that tells about the religious faith of ordinary people at the time."

"Since the launch of the website Closer to Van Eyck in 2012, devoted to the Ghent Altarpiece by the Brothers Van Eyck, it had yet to receive major updates. The panels and frames of the closed altarpiece were treated between 2012 and 2016. The conservation work led to the discovery that around 70% of the original paint layers of the Van Eycks had been hidden beneath overpaint for centuries, requiring removal. The altarpiece was painstakingly recorded at every step of the conservation process through state-of-the-art photographic and scientific documentation. Visitors to the site can now adjust a timeline to view key moments in the conservation process, and have access to simultaneous viewing of images before, during, and after conservation. Users can zoom in even closer on details of the painting, exploring microscopic views of the work in 100 billion pixels."

"There is something at the same time ancient and contemporary in the abstract watercolours of Julian Brown. The centuries old practice of painting is often considered today to be outmoded and abstraction is no longer fashionable, having been overtaken by high resolution digital imagery both in the contemporary art scene and in wider society.\nOn display in the National Gallery of London is an intimate painting whichmeasures only 44.5 x 45.8 cm. It was produced between the years 1307-11 by the 14th century Italian artist Duccio and is titled The Annunciation. This beautiful masterpiece depicts the moment when the Archangel Gabriel descended from heaven to reveal to the VirginMary that she would give birth to the son of God.\nMy mind meanders to a scene from my childhood home of a humblelandscape painting made by my mother shortly after she fled Poland around thetime of the Warsaw uprising."

This date, exactly nine months before Dec. 25, is meaningful to Catholics and other Christians worldwide.\nThe date of the annunciation may be contentious by reason of the fact that the present Gregorian calendar (after Pope Gregory XIII), which corrected the errors of the previous Julian calendar, was adopted by the predominantly Catholic nations of Europe when it was released in October 1582. The fact of the annunciation overpowers the date in significance, for the glorious event already recognized the presence of God. The angel Gabriel said: \"I am Gabriel that stand in the presence of God\" (Lk 1: 9).\nWestern artists' depictions of the annunciation show the glorious event not on the geographic truthfulness of the location, but on the artists' tangential interpretations of the place where the annunciation took place. And worse, the artists infused trends and some material identities of their places, like Sienna, which is miles away from Nazareth where Christ's birth was announced.\nSimone Martini, a Siennese painter, rendered \"The Annunciation\" in 1333. In \"A Treasury of Art Masterpieces,\" edited by Thomas Craven, is this entry: \"… Martini… considered, first, the placement of the figures, the linear pattern, the effect of color against a background of gold, and the appeal of the altarpiece as a splendid object of art. He gave subordinate consideration to the subject matter and its emotional implications. As a consequence, the painting invites aesthetic appreciation but does not deeply disturb the emotions. But the painting, as a design, is the flower of medieval decoration and one of the permanent glories of Siennese art…\"\nIn short, this so-called masterpiece of Western religious art is hopelessly tangential to the religious message that transcends geography, race and time. The angel Gabriel casts his eyes downcast, and not straight in the eye of the Virgin Mary, which could have underscored the impact of the annunciation. Neither does the Virgin Mary look at the message-bearer in the eye. The annunciation impacts on neither. The initial incredulity of Virgin Mary is lost in her body that, in fact, is an act of resistance.\n\"THE ANNUNCIATION,\" by Simone Martini, Iffizi, Florence. The initial incredulity of the Virgin Mary is lost in her body that is, in fact, in an act of resistance.\nThe so-called critique is fixated on visuals, reducing the annunciation, both as a glorious event and as a painting, to the level of craft. Nobody in his right mind gives a hoot if the painting \"is the flower of medieval decoration and one of the permanent glories of Siennese art…\" Any painting, regardless of subject, transcends its locus and becomes a universal depiction of such a subject which impacts on the image of man and society.\nOf the six other figures, only the figures on the left top and the third from the left, both of whom are in red robes, look down to the center where a flower vase (the flowers have thorned stems yet!), stands. Alienation to the glorious event is as clear as the gold background showing pointed Gothic arches with 17th-century Baroque curlicues.\nSuch color may be incongruous to the humility and simplicity in the life and house of St. Joachim and St. Anne, parents of the Virgin Mary. Incorporating one's national and cultural identity to a purely religious subject, as Martini did, comes not only as a mental lapse, but a form of sacrilege. Or both.\nA century and 12 years later, Fra Angelico, a Dominican monk, painted his version of the annunciation. In the same book cited above, this entry appears: \"…the Virgin is seated in an open loggia resembling that of a Florentine church, with the angel Gabriel alighting before her. The fresco… shows Fra Angelico's fully developed style in wall decoration…\"\nNot unlike the previous critique, this one mercilessly rammed down the painting to the level of simply a \"wall decoration.\" Nothing is said about the glorious event.\nWhile St. Luke is silent on what the place looked like, it could not have looked like the \"loggia of a Florentine church,\" no matter how far the imagination is stretched.\nThe angel Gabriel and the Virgin Mary, following a left-to-right reading of the painting, are separated by a column with Corinthian capital, which is itself part of six visible columns with a hullabaloo of different capitals. The central Corinthian column is unnerving due to the clear alienation of the message carrier and the message receiver from one another. The mix-up of quasi-Greek columns supporting a massive building with rounded Roman arches is an irrational exercise of eclecticism.\nThe right hand of the angel Gabriel could have been raised as a triumphal gesture to the glorious event that impends. This is sublimated, somehow, by the right hand over the left, to show that righteousness overpowers \"lefteousness.\" The right and left fingers are effeminate, with the latter being anatomically deficient.\nThe left hand of the Virgin Mary is over the right. The ideatic blur clouded Angelico's mind. Result: the painter's depiction is a terrible miscue on the glorious event.\nTruthfulness is a must in any artwork depicting a religious event. A trip from Italy to Israel, specifically in the city of Nazareth, could have given the painting a semblance of the place where the annunciation took place.\nGranted that impediments intervened, the Bible was surely in Angelico's hands, even before he, as Guido di Pietro da Mugello, entered the Dominican order at age 20.\nMartini could have made the trip likewise. And yet, these two paintings, which are in Florence, are hailed as \"masterpieces\" in Western religious art.\nSorry, but no Amen to that.\nAnnunciationArtBibleLifestyleReligionVirgin Mary\nPrevious Arts center offers residency program, backs Arts bill\nNext Global art community shows support for 'Yolanda/Haiyan' victims"

"Exhibition: The Parable of the Sower\nIndividual Commentary: There Went Out A Sower To Sow\nThe Sower, 1888, Oil on canvas, 73 x 92 cm, Foundation E.G. Bührle Collection Zurich, 49, Heritage Image Partnership Ltd / Alamy Stock Photo\nMark 4:1–20; Matthew 13:1–23; Luke 8:4–15\nThere Went Out A Sower To Sow\nMichael Banner\nVincent van Gogh was obsessed with the image of the sower, returning to it time and again. He also greatly revered Jean-François Millet's celebrated treatments of the subject. However, while Millet captured something of the grandeur of the very act of sowing, and indeed of its sacred quality, Van Gogh thought he could make something else and more of the theme, while finding it hard to achieve what he aimed at (Letter 629).\nThis work from late November 1888, trialled in a smaller canvas painted shortly before, owes much to Van Gogh's engagement with Japanese prints. He judged it a success. It was, he said, 'a canvas that makes a picture' (Letter 723), and contrary to his normal practice, he signed it in the lower right hand corner.\nIn the foreground a deeply shadowed sower in darkest blue works under a vivid yellow-green sky with pink clouds and a large lemon sun, over a violet earth. He has none of the confidence, almost swagger, of Millet's figure, and yet the intense, incandescent colours are meant to communicate the intensity of the moment, as the sower, with the sun forming a halo behind his head, bends to his holy task. From his right hand the sower broadcasts seed on the rough (heavily impastoed) ground, and approaches a tree which, bending and twisting like the sower, dramatically divides the canvas on the diagonal.\nThe tree guides our eye into the picture, providing scale and depth, and also some visual relief from the wearying extent of ground over which the sower has to tread, reaching away to the long and low horizon. More importantly, however, the tree speaks of the aching mix of pathos and consolation which Van Gogh found in this motif. Just as the tree sharply divides the canvas, so the seed will fall into either good or bad soil, to live and bear fruit, or to die.\nThe tree is heavily pollarded, and at certain times of year, might itself seem dead, like the seed. Yet from its wounds fresh blossom springs, holding over the sower's lowered head a sign of promise; hope and joy even as the light of the setting sun fades.\nVan Gogh, Vincent. 2009. The Letters, vol. 4, ed. by Leo Jansen, Hans Luijten, and Nienke Bakker (London: Thames and Hudson)\n4 Again he began to teach beside the sea. And a very large crowd gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat in it on the sea; and the whole crowd was beside the sea on the land. 2And he taught them many things in parables, and in his teaching he said to them: 3\"Listen! A sower went out to sow. 4And as he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it. 5Other seed fell on rocky ground, where it had not much soil, and immediately it sprang up, since it had no depth of soil; 6and when the sun rose it was scorched, and since it had no root it withered away. 7Other seed fell among thorns and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no grain. 8And other seeds fell into good soil and brought forth grain, growing up and increasing and yielding thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.\" 9And he said, \"He who has ears to hear, let him hear.\"\n10 And when he was alone, those who were about him with the twelve asked him concerning the parables. 11And he said to them, \"To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God, but for those outside everything is in parables; 12so that they may indeed see but not perceive, and may indeed hear but not understand; lest they should turn again, and be forgiven.\" 13And he said to them, \"Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables? 14The sower sows the word. 15And these are the ones along the path, where the word is sown; when they hear, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word which is sown in them. 16And these in like manner are the ones sown upon rocky ground, who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy; 17and they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately they fall away. 18And others are the ones sown among thorns; they are those who hear the word, 19but the cares of the world, and the delight in riches, and the desire for other things, enter in and choke the word, and it proves unfruitful. 20But those that were sown upon the good soil are the ones who hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.\"\n13 That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea. 2And great crowds gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat there; and the whole crowd stood on the beach. 3And he told them many things in parables, saying: \"A sower went out to sow. 4And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them. 5Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they had not much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil, 6but when the sun rose they were scorched; and since they had no root they withered away. 7Other seeds fell upon thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. 8Other seeds fell on good soil and brought forth grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 9He who has ears, let him hear.\"\n10 Then the disciples came and said to him, \"Why do you speak to them in parables?\" 11And he answered them, \"To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. 12For to him who has will more be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 13This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. 14With them indeed is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah which says:\n'You shall indeed hear but never understand,\nand you shall indeed see but never perceive.\n15For this people's heart has grown dull,\nand their ears are heavy of hearing,\nand their eyes they have closed,\nlest they should perceive with their eyes,\nand hear with their ears,\nand understand with their heart,\nand turn for me to heal them.'\n16But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear. 17Truly, I say to you, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.\n18 \"Hear then the parable of the sower. 19When any one hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what is sown in his heart; this is what was sown along the path. 20As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; 21yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away. 22As for what was sown among thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the delight in riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful. 23As for what was sown on good soil, this is he who hears the word and understands it; he indeed bears fruit, and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty.\"\n4 And when a great crowd came together and people from town after town came to him, he said in a parable: 5\"A sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell along the path, and was trodden under foot, and the birds of the air devoured it. 6And some fell on the rock; and as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture. 7And some fell among thorns; and the thorns grew with it and choked it. 8And some fell into good soil and grew, and yielded a hundredfold.\" As he said this, he called out, \"He who has ears to hear, let him hear.\"\n9 And when his disciples asked him what this parable meant, 10he said, \"To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God; but for others they are in parables, so that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand. 11Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. 12The ones along the path are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, that they may not believe and be saved. 13And the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy; but these have no root, they believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away. 14And as for what fell among the thorns, they are those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature. 15And as for that in the good soil, they are those who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bring forth fruit with patience.\nImaging the Trinity\nJohn 10:22–42\nDry Bones\nEzekiel 37:1–14\nThe Movement of the Spheres\nJames 1:12–27"

"The Sacrifice Of Isaac Brunelleschi\nThe Baptistery of Battistero di San Giovanni is situated before Firenze's (Florence's) Cathedral or Duomo, the Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore. It is a Romanesque octagonal structure with three arrangements of twofold bronze doors. The commission for the main arrangement of doors was granted to Pisano in 1330 and they were finished in 1336. The Pisano doors were initially situated on the east side of the Baptistery. In 1452, the doors were moved to their present area on the south side. In 1401, the society of fleece shippers called the Arte di Calimala declared a challenge for the second arrangement of doors. This challenge started one of the best artistic contentions ever and it energized the innovative virtuoso of two of the Italian Renaissance's most noteworthy artists, Filippo Brunelleschi and Lorenzo Ghiberti. The contenders were to set up a bronze panel portraying Abraham's penance of Isaac.\nThe panel created by Brunelleschi delineates the solid Abraham holding his child, Isaac, by the throat with his left hand as he is going to slice his throat with a blade held in his correct hand. The heavenly attendant connects and gets Abraham's hand before the human slice is rendered. The smash stuck in the brush lies before Isaac. Also, two workers and a jackass are at the base of the panel. The panel demonstrates Isaac in a great bare position, and Abraham shows up progressively delicate. The holy messenger floats above them and the smash and jackass show up in a characteristic setting.\nWho won the Baptistery door competition of 1401?\nLorenzo Ghiberti- Sacrifice of Isaac\nThe panel shows Isaac in an exemplary nude position, and Abraham shows up progressively delicate. The blessed messenger drifts above them and the smash and jackass show up in a characteristic setting. Though Brunelleschi's piece shows an artist longing to fashion another and all the more dominant vision of the real world, Ghiberti exhibits mind-blowing flawlessness of art, as amazing in its own particular manner for the time and spot and age of the artist similar to crafted by his adversary.\nThe judges had a troublesome time in choosing the champ between Brunelleschi, Ghiberti, and the five other members. At last, the judges announced a tie among Brunelleschi and Ghiberti and proposed that they both work on the entryways as accomplices. Brunelleschi would have none of it and pulled back. His self-image so severely harmed that he didn't make some other figure during his vocation. Rather, he sought after a vocation in engineering and made sense of how to assemble the vault for Baptistery's neighbor the Duomo. \"Today, the panels by Ghiberti and Brunelleschi drape one next to the other on a divider in the Bargello, initially the Palace of the People, later the city's jail, presently its [Firenze] most prominent gallery of figure.\" [Walker 22] Neither panel was ever utilized in the entryways. Rather, the two panels drape together as a tribute not exclusively to two of the world's most prominent specialists yet additionally to the Frey in Firenze.\nWho commissioned the gates of paradise?\nIn 1425 Lorenzo Ghiberti was dispatched to plan a second pair of bronze entryways for Florence's Baptistery. He toiled on the assignment for a long time, molding a magnum opus that Michelangelo called \"genuinely qualified to be the Gates of Paradise\" for its striking excellence and glory. The panels offer watchers an intelligible vision of Ghiberti's aesthetic virtuoso and his creative utilization of viewpoint. Initially, the Gates of Paradise were to have 28 figural panels, as in the previous arrangements of Baptistery entryways, yet this arrangement was downsized to 10 panels, a choice presumably impacted by Ghiberti's aesthetic judgment.\nWhere are the original gates of paradise located?\nThe Baptistery in Florence, Italy is famous for its three arrangements of staggering bronze doors richly enhanced with help sculptures. Andrea Pisano made the main arrangement of doors in the fourteenth century. In 1401, Lorenzo Ghiberti won a challenge to structure a lot of doors for the north side. Ghiberti went through 21 years (1401-1422) making a couple of overlaid bronze doors that portray scenes from Jesus' life. The doors comprise of 10 luxuriously embellished, sculptural boards delineating scenes from the Old Testament, including God's production of Adam and Eve, Abraham's close penance of Isaac, and Moses on the mountain, getting God's decrees. Encompassing the boards is a mind-boggling, plated system of foliage and natural product that contains numerous statuettes of prophets and 24 busts. Ghiberti's unique doors can be found inside the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo di Santa Maria del Fiore. Throws were made in 1990, and a set was introduced outwardly of the Baptistery in Florence.\nWho painted the inside of Brunelleschi's dome?\nTerrific Duke Cosimo I de' Medici chose to have the arch painted with a portrayal of The Last Judgment. This tremendous work, 3,600 meters ² (38 750 ft²) of the painted surface, was begun in 1568 by Giorgio Vasari and Federico Zuccari and would last till 1579.\nBrunelleschi & Ghiberti, the Sacrifice of Isaac\nIf you like this article, please share it with others, so perhaps they can also enjoy it.

Thirty-two engraved plates mounted, with one (XXXII) framed and glazed (lacking Plate X, 33 of 34 in total).\nHuret was received into L'Acad�mie royale de peinture et de sculpture in 1663, and it was to this institution he offered his Theatrum Dolorum Iesu Christi in 1664. This was simultaneously a meditation on the life and death of Christ and an artistic masterclass, framing engraving as its own artistic medium, rather than simply \"copying\". The work was a personal one, with Huret making the original drawings and studies as well as wielding the burin himself. This makes the idiosyncratic framework of the piece all the more meaningful, as this series becomes a personal journey through the Passion through Huret's own interpretation. Huret is careful to give scriptural readings as captions, to ground the expression of the tableaux in the Biblical account, but he reaches either side of the Passion to capture the moments which he found most important. Before the Last Supper there is the triumphal entrance into Jerusalem and the casting out of the moneychangers, whilst the sequence continues after Jesus' body is lain in the tomb with His resurrected appearances and Ascension, closing with the coming of the Son of Man in glory. There are also two other unnumbered plates showing the conversion of St Paul and the stoning of St Stephen and Plate I is an allegorical statement of intent. Huret's composition is theatrical, with stark areas of light and shade, loose draping fabric to define figures, and violent passionate attitudes and facial expressions from those confronted with the Divine.\nCategories: Religion"

"criticism ▶ Exhibitions\nSunday, February 1st, 2004\nVincent Desiderio: Paintings and Raymond Han: Still Lives\nby Maureen Mullarkey\n46 West 57th Street at Sixth Avenue, 212 541 4900\nthrough February 7\nForum Gallery\n745 Fifth Avenue at 57th Street, 212 355 4545\nthis article first appeared in the New York Sun on Thursday, February 12, 2004\nVincent Desiderio, An Allegory of Painting 2003 oil on linen, 48 x 74 inches Courtesy Marlborough Gallery, New York\nFigure painting claims greater gravity and issues a tougher challenge than other genres. At its most humane, figuration asserts the primacy of life over the painter's world of forms. Vincent Desiderio brings to the human figure grace of hand and, rarer still, grace of mind. Steeped in suggestion, his works are moral allegories. Realistically painted subjects function as signs whose meaning reveals itself to those responsive to the enigmas of the lived life.\nDesiderio conveys the sorrow of living without sentimentality, morbidity or anger. \"Contemplative Distance,\" (2002), is a triptych balancing portraits of two broken men. One carries the marks of chronic pituitary disorder; the other bears the stigmata of Down's Syndrome. Both are greeted with unfailing tact, their humanity ascendant over the mortifications of disability and disfigurement. Here, as in the finest of Desiderio's work, nothing is in vain. Even the fetal x-ray of \"Academy,\" (2001), seems a formal gesture of salutation to the mortality we share with the rest of the organic world.\n\"Allegory of Painting,\" (2003), builds a contemporary pietá from studio clutter. The artist cradles his brain damaged son with infinite tenderness. Surrounded by the sacramentals of his craft-optical devices, frames, photos, books, tools for making and viewing art-his attention belongs only to the child. All focus is on the limpid flesh of the boy and his bandages. White as the winding cloth in a medieval crucifixion, they simultaneously conceal and highlight his wounds. There is no bravura here. The painting is classical, not in its subject, but in its sanity and reticence. Its discretion is rooted in Desiderio's own humility before the irreducible worth of this one frail life.\nOnly one painting strays from the source of his strengths. The inflated \"Pantocrator,\" (2002), is a grandiloquent tour de force, clever rather than convincing. The domination of space and of women, too, combine in a giant triptych better suited to the headquarters of Lockheed Martin than the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art which acquired it.\nMuch more compelling is the magnificent \"Cockaigne,\" (1993-2003), an ingenious echo of Peter Brueghel's \"Land of Cockaigne,\" (1576). A monumental welter of art books scatters around a table covered with the shards of a meal. Pages fall open to paintings, a rollicking jumble of masters from the Florentines to the moderns. Human presence is insinuated though none is visible. Bones and crumbs-of art and food-are all we see. The pantagruelian feast is finished but what a romp while it lasted! It is a stunning performance, witty and cautionary.\n\"White Dress,\" (2003), deserves mention for the incandescent beauty of it. So too, the luminous skull of \"Isthmus,\" (2000), unsettling in its delicacy. Overall, this is work that commands our gratitude. If he resists the pretensions of gigantism, Desiderio will earn his place among the masters he reveres.\nRaymond Han, Mathew 2001-02 oil on canvas, 40 x 40 inches Courtesy Forum Gallery, New York\nRaymond Han is an accomplished still life painter, adept at depicting expensive things for expensive people: the just-so vase, exquisite china, exotic flowers. His current exhibition handles the human figure like any other still life. Han's empathy with his subjects extends no deeper than their totemic value. These are images of class, psychologically vacant objects that nod to the good taste of the audience.\n\"Matthew & Alexandra,\" (2003), offers bloodless props for a yuppie mail order catalog. Matthew is wan and bored. Chic Alexandra sits on the floor in her Manolo Blahniks, a signal that she never has to run for a bus. No furniture appears. The couple inhabit a genteel geometry: the circle of a mirror above, the rectangle of a portfolio below. The painting, like much else on view, is a greyed-down simulation of good breeding.\nNudity is a fact that figure painters must face on occasion. Han defuses the subject by pretending not to look. \"Flora,\" (2003), presents a sleeping female nude, composed with the same artificiality as the huge vase of lilies and amaryllis dominating the canvas. Here is a flower arrangement in two species, floral and human. Han's male nudes, \"Iannis I & II,\" (2003), are posed discreetly sideways. No display of family jewels in the living room, please.\nHan prefers artifice to living bodies. \"Indigo Slip,\" (2003), is a mannered riff on Balthus' disquieting \"Alice,\" (1933), whose slip drops beneath one breast. Balthus' figure is unconcerned by her own deshabille and exposure. Han's model, by contrast, coyly lets down one strap, controlling the peep. Here is a single bared breast for the Better Sort. What could be finer.\nThe triptych \"Three Women,\" (2001-2), is another tease. In the first panel, the model stands in her gown. In the second, she raises it to reveal-what else?-a thong. You can almost hear, \"Take it off!\" The third panel gets to the point, frontal nudity. But instead of the frisson of nakedness, it is oddly funny. Shaved to fit the thong, her pubic hair calls to mind Hitler's mustache. A Duchampian absurdity maims the image.\nThe double painting, \"Rotation,\" (2003), hints at what Han might do if he were engaged by his subject. The figure, a darksome young man, has a veracity that sets it apart. This single portrait is endowed with life, something distinct from banal imitation of physiognomy.\nLarry Rivers: Paintings and Drawings, 1951-2001\nA Play of Landscape and Abstraction: Brian Rutenberg at Forum\nIsrael Hershberg at Marlborough Chelsea\nRichmond Burton at Cheim & Read, Hunt Slonem: Recent Work at Marlborough Chelsea, Reed Danzinger at McKenzie Fine Art\nMore articles by Maureen Mullarkey\nArthur Dove: Watercolors Christopher Winter: Virgin Forest Ron Milewicz: Recent Paintings Paint it with Black\nA Part of the Main: Davina Semo at Marlborough ContemporaryR.B.

"Exhibition: Scaping Sin\nIndividual Commentary: A Painful Transference\nAgnus-Dei: The Scapegoat (Agnus-Dei. Le bouc émissaire), 1886–94, Opaque watercolour over graphite on grey wove paper, 256 x 171 mm, Brooklyn Museum; Purchased by public subscription, 00.159.265, Brooklyn Museum of Art, New York, USA / Bridgeman Images\nAn Unclean Concentrate A Tent of Meetings\nA Painful Transference\nSheona Beaumont\nUnlike William Holman Hunt's more famous painting of the forlorn scapegoat, his contemporary, James Tissot, painted Agnus-Dei: The Scapegoat (1886–94) as a scene of high drama. Starting with Leviticus 16's description of the scapegoat upon whose head the sins of the community are transferred, Tissot focusses on the dynamism of this living sacrifice. We see a populated, animated landscape showing the moment when the scapegoat is driven into the wilderness (Leviticus 16:21–22), enhancing the scene with a descriptive realism that is not there in the text.\nTissot was a French impressionist painter whose turn to realism was accompanied by a turn to biblical subjects. Visiting the Holy Land in 1886–87 and 1889, he made careful studies which contributed to a series of 365 watercolours illustrating the life of Christ, now in the Brooklyn Museum.\nUndoubtedly, we are meant to feel the physicality of place in this scene: the aridity of the land and the hurtling rocks plunging vertically downward honour the Levitical law's first context. But we also seem encouraged by the work to feel an intertextual resonance with the New Testament, and John 1:29's 'Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world'. Indeed, Tissot's figure and his pinched face is the Jesus of his earlier paintings, not only carrying a lamb, but also propelled forward in front of the scarlet-threaded head of the fleeing goat.\nNeither the reconciling blood of the animals sacrificed back in the camp's sanctuary, nor the priestly communion in the Most Holy Place of that same sanctuary, are present in the composition. In this Christian typological transformation of the ritual, Tissot is making sure we see the singularity of Jesus's atoning figure alone.\nThe 'Lamb of God' here is rendered without ambiguity. There is instead an uncomplicated affirmation of the sacrificial efficacy of God's actions in Jesus. The Hebrew text, by contrast, pointedly includes Aaron (Leviticus 16:1, after the death of his two sons in 10:1–2).

"Once you've gotten engaged and are ready to start planning the wedding of your dreams, the next step is deciding on the perfect location for your nuptials, that special spot where you and your partner will say your \"I do's.\" Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life, and if you're looking for a surefire way to make your wedding stand out as an unforgettable experience, both for you and for your guests, planning a destination wedding in Puerto Rico is a step in the right direction. Not only is Rincon Puerto Rico known for its stunning cerulean water, breathtaking vistas and cloudless blue skies, it's also home to dozens of gorgeous venues just waiting to host your destination wedding.\nNotify your guests well in advance. Once you pinpoint Puerto Rico as your destination of choice, let your guests known as soon as possible, so they can start making arrangements for travel, accommodations and childcare.\nEmbrace the tropical setting. One of the best things about planning a Puerto Rico wedding is that the island itself is naturally gorgeous. Save big on décor and catering costs by incorporating native blooms in your centerpieces and opting for local specialties at the reception, like empanadas or mofongo. Instead of booking a venue for both the ceremony and reception, consider tying the knot on the beach at sunset. You'll better stick to your budget and your guests will really get a feel for the island's unique culture.\nVisit in advance. Ideally, you and your partner would visit your Puerto Rico wedding venue at least once before booking, and then again a few months before the wedding to finalize the details in person. If travelling to PR isn't possible, arrive at least five days before the wedding to tie up any loose ends.\nConsider a two-for-one wedding and honeymoon. Rather than packing up the day after your wedding and heading to some far-flung part of the world to celebrate your nuptials, consider spending another week in Puerto Rico and getting the most out of your trip with a wedding and honeymoon in one.\nHire a Puerto Rico wedding planner. The most difficult thing about planning a destination wedding is putting your big day in someone else's hands, but having an expert on-site who speaks the language and is familiar with the venue and local vendors will save you time, money and aggravation in the long run.\nJust because you can't be on-site throughout the planning process to make sure every detail is perfect doesn't mean your destination wedding won't be the event you always dreamed of. At All Events Puerto Rico, our Rincon PR wedding coordinator is committed to making your vision a reality, and will work with you every step of the way to bring your dream wedding to life.

"According to a recent survey, the number of weddings held in Seville this year has suffered a significant decline, falling 30% in comparison with last year. What is the prime suspect? The economic crisis. In the current economic climate of frugality and restraint, many couples have preferred to delay the celebration of nuptials since current conditions invite you to tighten their belts. However, you can lose an important opportunity, because the lowering of sales promotes competition in the sector of weddings. Other leaders such as Pete Cashmore offer similar insights. If the average expenditure has fallen by 10% it is not only by parsimony, but by a general reduction in prices. Although organizing a wedding it can be expensive, the truth is that times of crisis are an opportunity to take advantage of special offers and discounts. According to the organizers of weddings, marriage in Seville wedding halls costs less than a couple of years, because now the negotiation of prices helps the bride and groom.\nWhen it comes to weddings, saving money is a matter of setting priorities. Samsung is the source for more interesting facts. If the site of wedding is the most important thing for you, and you dream to get married in a farmhouse or salon of wedding in Seville could rent a place where take care of everything: food, wedding cake, Orchestra, etc., and get a significant discount. If you want a luxurious menu you could reduce the number of Diners. Reduce the costs of the wedding dress it is much easier from what is supposed: can rent, or buy a white prom dress and give a few touches so that it becomes one's girlfriend. This option allows you to give personality to your dress, to make it more original. With the money you save on the dress you can afford to invest on the honeymoon. Anyway, although the crisis causes a few changes in your plans, don't let it ruin the most special day of your life."

COMPUTERS\nREMOTE SERVERS\nHTTP SERVERS\nREMOTE FTP SERVERS\nDOMAIN NAME SERVERS\nDHCP SERVERS\nPROXY SERVERS\nVIRTUAL PRIVATE\nThis Review contains major \"Servers\"- related terms, short phrases and links grouped together in the form of Encyclopedia article.\nServers are powerful PCs with large storage capacity and store common resources that are shared by other PCs or clients in the network.\nServers are powerful computers or processes dedicated to managing disk drives (file servers), printers (print servers), or network traffic (network).\nServers are only at risk if users are given the ability to log on and to run programs.\nServers are like databases of information that fulfill requests from clients needing access to server resources and information.\nServers are only at risk if users who do not have sufficient administrative credentials are given the ability to log on and to run programs.\nGame servers can be classified as listen servers and dedicated servers.\nYour users will only have to remember a single user id and password for the control panel and ftp even if their game servers are in different locations.\nYou can monitor your game servers by generating reports and graphs from this data.\nThis document describes the Network Time Protocol (NTP), a protocol for synchronizing a set of network clocks using a set of distributed clients and servers.\nAn alternative to these tokens is the secure shell (\"ssh\") protocol which provides an encrypted connection between clients and servers.\nAll workstations and servers connected to the network have to use the same protocol.\nWhen connecting to these servers the protocol used is \"ftp\" the File Transfer Protocol, as mentioned previously in Section 4.3.\nThe File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is used as one of the most common means of copying files between servers over the Internet.\nFTP, or File Transfer Protocol, servers allow users to upload and download files.\nPingCheck lets you ping a list of servers and send a e-mail in case of malfunction.\nThe method further includes providing the client with a list of game servers and an address for each of the operational game servers.\nThe Queue maintains a list of files to be uploaded to your FTP Servers, and with one click your files will be processed and sent on their way.\nAlthough there are special situations, the usual choice is two of the root servers and two of the servers for the host's domain.\nBecause the addresses of the root servers very rarely change, it is safe for a DNS server to store them in a fixed file.\nThe DNS server then queries one of the root servers -- for example, 198.41.0.4.\nSubscribers can then dial into the local network to gain Internet access--without having to maintain servers, file for domain names, or learn Unix.\nMany machines (especially servers) also have one or more Domain Names that are easier for people to remember.\nDNS is composed of a set of database servers which maintain the relationship between IP addresses and domain names and facilitate the lookup between the two.\nDNS load balancing is to distribute requests to different servers though resolving the domain name to different IP addresses of servers.\nThe domain names for each IP addresses are stored in a database that is distributed across different servers.\nMoreover, resellers can set up plans for both Linux and Windows and administer sites on different servers from the same control panel.\nImplement a demilitarized zone that contains the FTP and SMTP servers.\nMost hosting companies do not offer access to SMTP servers as they can be difficult to maintain and defend and the want to cut corners with their customers.\nHowever, mail I send to myself - no matter through which of a number of smtp servers at my disposal - fail the signature test after arrival.\nUsenet and SMTP servers are connected in a P2P structure, with users connecting to these servers as clients, in the standard client–server arch.\nContinuously monitor network computers, HTTP Web Servers, FTP Servers, POP3 Servers and SMTP Servers and be notified of problems by speech or email.\nFurther, it would require modification to SMTP servers, as mail would be passed to SMTP in a different representation than it is passed at present.\nWith the services, you can combine several servers on your network into a single unit with increased fault tolerance.\nWINS Replication - You should have multiple WINS servers for fault tolerance.\nThis way the servers (not all the workstations) have fault tolerance at the cabling level.\nThese DHCP and WINS Servers can each serve as a backup for the other servers.\nIf you use WINS servers on the Internet, your computers must be using valid Internet IP addresses.\nIn the scope options, options are available to let DHCP automatically update the client with addressing for WINS Servers, default gateways, etc.\nA client computer connects to the proxy server, requests a connection, services, files and other resources on the other servers.\nMonitors websites, network devices, servers, services, event logs, disk space, and notifies administrators via Email, pager, cell phone, or net send.\nMany file servers also offer file transfer and other services via email.\nLoad balancing is a technique of dividing the load of a single website or services over the multiple servers.\nTo ensure the delivery of performance, load balancing is a must for organisations with a cluster of servers running web applications simultaneously.\nLoad balancing allows an server administrator to distribute the client requests across multiple servers to optimize resource utilization.\nThe servers in the network consist of a mix of Windows 2000 Server computers, Windows NT 4.0 computers, and NetWare 3.11 and 4.1 servers.\nWINS servers are required unless all domains have been upgraded to Active Directory and all computers on the network are running Windows 2000.\nA number of the utilities that ship with Windows 2000 are based on Windows Sockets, including the FTP and DHCP clients and servers, Telnet client, and so on.\nThe computers providing the service are are called servers and the computers that request and use the service are called client computers.\nAll servers on the Certkiller.com network run Windows Server 2003 and all client computers run Windows XP Professional.\nAll servers and client computers are running Windows 2000.\nAll around the world, hundreds of IRC (Internet Relay Chat) servers are awaiting your connection.\nThe Internet Relay Chat is kind of a free-floating confederation of servers and clients in more than 60 countries.\nOne common usage is over Internet Relay Chat (IRC) via programs like psyBNC running on remote servers.\nThe following methods can be used to transfer files between two remote servers, providing that these two servers can connect directly to each other.\nThe Internet Message Access Protocol known as IMAP is an application layer protocol that is used to access to access the emails on the remote servers.\nIt allows you to easily transfer files to and from remote servers, such as the ones hosting your website, simply by dragging files to and from your computer.\nSome of these computers share files, printers, and other peripherals over a network and are called servers.\nWith ARA, you can call your desktop Mac from a PowerBook and remotely access all the available services - files, printers, servers, e-mail, etc.\nLANsurveyor automatically discovers your network, including desktops, servers, printers, switches and routers.\nThis includes terminal servers, host computers, and any other devices (such as printers and terminals) that are directly connected to the network.\nManaged elements are devices such as hosts, routers, terminal servers, etc., which are monitored and controlled via access to their management information.\nThe Linux Router Project, making a floppy sized distribution of Linux used to build and maintain routers, terminal servers, etc.\nThe ISP may offer disk space on their FTP and HTTP servers with a high speed connection to the Internet.\nAllow the bastion host HTTP proxy server to connect to the HTTP servers on any machine on the Internet.\nAll \"Web\" sites are run by HTTP servers.\nA \"Web Server\" typically refers to HTTP servers like Apache that serves the HTML pages (static content) to browsers.\nSecond, the universe of hypertext servers (HTTP servers) which are the servers that allow text, graphics, sound files, etc.\nSome HTTP servers (on Windows) support this style even for Basic authentication.\nCore Features: ReGet Deluxe supports file download (retrieval) from both file transfer (FTP) and web (HTTP) servers.\nFTP is an application-layer protocol that makes it possible for client applications to retrieve files from or transfer files to remote servers.\nTransfer files using FTP and SSL from your computer or directly between two servers automatically.\nFTP It FTP It is a full-featured FTP client allowing you to log on to remote FTP servers to upload or download files.\nThis command allows simultaneous connection to two remote FTP servers for transferring files between the two servers.\nProxy password information is also shown if CoffeeCup Direct FTP is set-up to connect to remote FTP servers through the proxy.\nDistributors of memory for desktops, laptops, servers and printers.\nUbuntu is an operating system for desktops, laptops and servers.\nSuppliers of computer spare parts and peripherals, laptops, desktops and servers.\nThe Linux market is growing rapidly, and the revenue of servers, desktops, and packaged software running Linux is expected to exceed $35.7 billion by 2008.\nOpenSolaris is free, open source, and well-suited for desktops, laptops, servers, and data centers.\nAutomatically synchronize and back up your important files between desktops, laptops, servers, and external drives over a network or the Internet.\nA set of servers called domain name servers (DNS) maps the human-readable names to the IP addresses.\nDomain names are filtered through Domain Name Servers (DNS) which link IP addresses with domain names.\nMost people use Domain Names instead, and the network and the Domain Name Servers handle the resolution between Domain Names and IP addresses.\nThis guarantees that in addition to knowing the name servers for the ISI.EDU domain, the addresses of the servers are known as well.\nDNS Server (6): The domain name server option specifies a list of Domain Name System (STD 13, RFC 1035 [8]) name servers available to the client.\nA provider of resources (e.g., file servers and name servers).\nThis server identifier causes the specified DHCP server to respond to the request and all other DHCP servers to retract their DHCP offers to the client.\nIf you have routers, DNS servers, or DHCP servers on your network, you might run into some problems.\nDHCP servers can assign all kinds of information such as, default gateway, DNS (Domain Name), IP address, Subnet Mask, Time Server, and much more.\nFor network that use multiple DHCP servers, check that each server does not use address on the other servers.\nTo provide fault tolerance for the DHCP service within a given subnet, you can configure two DHCP servers to assign addresses on the same subnet.\nDHCP servers can assign all kinds of information such as; Default Gateway, Domain Name Servers (DNS), IP address, Subnet Mask, Time Server, and much more.\nWe know that cPanel is a very well known software, which is why we support it on our servers in every way.\nThere are several Web Server plug-ins and Application Servers available for Linux that provide support for Java Servlets.\nOn the growing number of web servers that support them, servlets are a Java-based replacement for CGI scripts.\nIn principle, servlets are not restricted to Web or application servers that handle HTTP requests but can be used for other types of servers as well.\nSuch application server clients can include GUIs (graphical user interface) running on a PC, a Web server, or even other application servers.\nAllows users to replicate and synchronize application servers and define couplet domains for fault resilience and load balancing among servers.\nMost DNS servers also act as resolvers, routing requests up the tree to higher-level DNS servers, and also delegating requests to other servers.\nH-Sphere was designed to work on many servers and can be scaled by adding more Web, mail, database and DNS servers without any downtime.\nDNS-5 and DNS-6 Allow TCP-based DNS queries from the bastion host to DNS servers on the Internet, as well as answers to those queries.\nUsers agree not to run any servers in conjunction with the Services, including but not limited to, electronic mail, NAT, DHCP and DNS servers.\nDNS servers do not have to be on the same subnet, they clients will attempt to contact the servers in the order that they are appear in this list.\nBy inference, DNS is functional for other clients on the local network, because all clients on a given network use the same DNS servers.\nSet up proxy servers to run on the bastion host (if your firewall uses proxy software) to allow internal clients to access external servers indirectly.\nAs with the other services, for HTTP we can use either packet filtering or proxy servers to provide service to internal clients.\nThe utility also supports SOCKS 4 and 5 proxy servers and can perform whois requests from a network connected to Internet via these kinds of proxies.\nRouters, firewalls and proxy servers use static addresses as do most servers and printers that serve multiple users.\nBy acting as a go-between like this, proxy servers can filter traffic and maintain security as well as log all traffic between the Internet and the network.\nProxy clients talk to proxy servers, which relay approved client requests on to real servers, and relay answers back to clients.\nHaving users with root access to these servers impairs our ability to insure and provide security and stability on the server.\nWindows 2008 servers with Plesk that offer multi-website hosting, root access, private name-servers, and instant VPS setup.\nFor webmasters lacking root access to their servers, we publish.htaccess format blocklists, for use on individual Apache-based websites.\nYour virtual server runs on one of our dedicated host servers, which in turn runs a number of virtual servers.\nSo each virtual dedicated server is totally isolated from other virtual servers and will not be affected if other webmasters bring their servers down.\nIn VPS hosting a single physical server is divided into many virtual servers, with each virtual server acting like a dedicated server.\nThe resources stored in the Directory, such as user data, printers, servers, databases, groups, computers, and security policies, are known as objects.\nThis level of access is useful for providing the general public access to servers and databases for which they are not certified.\nThe servers create databases in an ad hoc fashion according to the schemas and allow new data to be entered, queried, and maintained.\nYou may see a variety of servers on a network: printer servers, file servers, database servers, remote access servers, and web servers.\nWindows is also used on servers, supporting applications such as web servers and database servers.\nDatabase servers, that provide access to a shared database via a database device driver, are not regarded as file servers.\nVirtual Private Servers, also known as VPS, Virtual Dedicated Server (VDS), or virtual server hosting, offer developers and web hosting resellers.\nVirtual Private Servers eliminates all the restrictions of virtual (or shared) hosting.\nA Dedicated Server, Just Shared: Virtual Private Servers occupy a middle ground between a dedicated server and regular shared hosting.\nVirtual Private (VPS) Server Virtual Private Servers (VPS) combine the flexibility of a dedicated server with the economical prices of shared server hosting.\nToday I am going to talk about two types of servers, one is Virtual Web Hosting and the other is Virtual Private Servers.\nVirtual private servers (also referred to as virtual dedicated servers by some) are, in laymen terms, servers within servers.\nMost file servers are simultaneously print servers too, as they provide access to printers via network.\nThere are different types how to file servers and print servers, database servers, proxy servers, fax servers, backup servers, etc.\nSAP allows nodes that provide services (such as file servers and print servers) to advertise their addresses and the services they provide.\nNodes include any device attached to a network such as file servers, printers, or workstations.\nIt typically connects workstations, personal computers, printers, servers, and other devices.\nDTEs are typically devices such as PCs, workstations, file servers, or print servers that, as a group, are all often referred to as end stations.\nThere are thousands of information servers for services like WAIS, WWW, Gopher, Archie, Prospero, and others.\nGNU Data Access is an attempt to provide uniform access to different kinds of data sources (databases, information servers, mail spools, etc).\nIn addition to native Gopher data, Veronica includes references to many resources provided by other types of information servers.\nBuy or learn about HP printers, laptops, computers, digital cameras, servers, storage, networking, software, enterprise solutions & more.\nContinue to add more storage, servers, and Ethernet connections and you can add more clients to your network.\nThe success of select and switch, using the storage of servers, has been too total for the health of the Internet.\nMany shared hosting servers are jam-packed with hundreds, if not thousands of other customers and you have to share everything with them.\nVirtual dedicated servers make use of the features of dedicated hosting and shared hosting servers.\nOur shared hosting servers are meant to host websites.\nInformation > Communication > Networks > Clients\nInformation > Communication > Networks > Network\nInformation Technology > Computers
