Life insurance is a massive part of the American economy. With more than $20 trillion of life insurance coverage in force in the U.S., it's even larger than the mortgage market.
Yet in most cases, one of the main forms of life insurance — permanent life insurance — is a bad financial idea for consumers. Most people overpay for it without seeing any benefit at all, it produces poor investment returns, and sales incentives may cause insurance agents to recommend policies that may not be the best fit for the consumer.
Here's a closer look at some of the reasons permanent life insurance isn't a good idea for most people.
The concept of permanent life insurance is pretty simple: Pay an annual premium, and when you die, your beneficiaries collect a payout. It protects your family from a loss of income, immediately builds an estate and covers debts in the event of your passing. Permanent life insurance lasts until the death of the policyholder and includes a "cash-value" investment component.
Another form of life insurance called term life insurance lasts for a specific term, such as 10 or 20 years, instead of a whole lifetime, and is often used by people with growing families to guard against an economic catastrophe in case of an early death.
Term life is a better option for most people, because it's much more affordable and offers insurance when it's most needed. Term life doesn't have any cash value, but the cash-value component of permanent life insurance offers poor investment returns.
But here's a very damaging aspect of permanent life insurance: Many people are not covered by the policy when they die. In fact, nearly 88% of universal life policies (a type of permanent life insurance) never pay a claim.
This is largely because many people allow their permanent policies to lapse, and the No. 1 reason is they can't afford the premiums due to a period of unemployment or other financial setback. Or they may decide it's no longer something they want or need.
Term life insurance has just as low a payout rate, but term life is only meant to cover you for a specified number of years, typically when you're young or middle-aged, and people who outlive their term life policies are generally happy to do so. But since permanent insurance is meant to cover you till death at any age, its low payout rate is cause for greater concern.
All of those paid premiums from a lapsed policy just go to the insurance company as pure profit, so the insurance industry isn't bothered by lapse rates — in fact, it counts on them. A policy that never pays a claim is much more profitable to an insurer than a policy that pays a claim.
Insurance agents are incentivized to sell consumers overly complex and expensive permanent life insurance policies because of larger commissions. Because consumers often don't understand the complexities of life insurance, they buy what the agent recommends — things like variable universal life insurance with an annuitized benefit option. If that confused you, don't worry, it confused me, too, and I'm a licensed insurance agent.
So is permanent life insurance ever a good option? Not often, no. Term life insurance is the right option for the vast majority of people. It's cheap, and it protects your family.
It only makes sense to buy permanent life insurance when you've maxed out your 401(k) and Roth IRA, which are far better investment options and are much more effective in safeguarding your financial future; when you know for certain that you'll never lapse the policy; and when you are seeking certain estate-tax advantages, making it an option for some high-income individuals.
Owners of permanent life should re-evaluate their life insurance needs and look into alternative options before lapsing their policies. Premiums can sometimes be recovered by surrendering the policy for a cash value.
Another option is to sell the policy to a third-party investor; this is called a life settlement. (Full disclosure: My company is a life settlement brokerage.) If you qualify, an institutional buyer pays you an immediate cash settlement (averaging around 20% of your policy benefit), and you transfer ownership of the policy to the buyer. The investor will continue to pay the premiums until you die and will then collect the policy benefit. Life settlements can be complex, so make sure you do your research before pursuing one.
Your hard-earned dollars are at stake with any life insurance policy, so make sure you take the time to review your options thoroughly before deciding.

Romanticism Basic AB
Norbert Wolf
Romanticism Basic AB.pdf
In a revolt against rationalism, Romanticism sought to return to nature and the belief in the goodness of humanity, with the artist considered to be a profoundly individual creator. Beginning in the early 19th century, Romantic ideals developed largely in opposition to the traditions of Greco-Roman antiquity, and advocated an open-ended and progressive—that is, modern—view of the age. Yet Romantic artists, searching perhaps for unattainable ideals, also looked back to the late medieval and Renaissance periods for nostalgic themes of Judeo-Christian heritage; drawing from these, they believed that a politically and intellectually enlightened utopia could be achieved. Romantic styles and subjects varied widely throughout Europe and America, ranging from tranquil contemplative scenes to spectacularly staged events, and it is precisely this diversity that lends Romantic art its fascination and lasting influence. This volume gathers an essay situating the genre across different regions, crisp painting reproductions, and detailed interpretations of 31 crucial pieces to offer a comprehensive introduction to Romanticism. The author Norbert Wolf graduated in art history, linguistics, and medieval studies at the Universities of Regensburg and Munich, and earned his PhD in 1983. He held visiting professorships in Marburg, Frankfurt, Leipzig, Düsseldorf, Nuremberg-Erlangen, and Innsbruck. His extensive writings on art history include many TASCHEN titles, such as Diego Velázquez, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Caspar David Friedrich, Expressionism, Romanesque, Landscape Painting, and Symbolism.
The movement said that feelings, imagination, nature, human life, freedom of expression, individualism and old folk traditions, such as legends and fairy tales, were important. It was a reaction to the aristocratic social and political ideas ... Romanticism was a cultural movement that emerged around 1780.
They believed that the savage is noble, childhood is good and the emotions inspired by both beliefs causes the ... About romanticism. This cultural movement is based more than anything else on the breakdown of all those patterns of earlier times, classicism, neoclassicism and rationalism, born with the irreverent feverish desire to want to postpone all serenity, ordinariness.

James Conlon
James Conlon has been LA Opera's Richard Seaver Music Director since 2006.
Since his debut that year with La Traviata, he has conducted 66 different operas and more than 420 performances to date with the company. Highlights of recent seasons include the 2020 company premiere of The Anonymous Lover (L'Amant Anonyme) by Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, and the 2021 company premiere of Stravinsky's Oedipus Rex.
(Click here to visit James Conlon's Corner, where you can find essays, videos and conversations he has created especially for LA Opera.)
One of today's most versatile and respected conductors, James Conlon has cultivated a vast symphonic, operatic and choral repertoire. He has conducted virtually every major American and European symphony orchestra since his debut with the New York Philharmonic in 1974. He has conducted more than 270 performances at the Metropolitan Opera. Through worldwide touring, an extensive discography and videography, numerous essays and commentaries, frequent television appearances and guest speaking engagements, Mr. Conlon is one of classical music's most recognized interpreters.
In September 2021, he became Artistic Advisor of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra.
He has been Principal Conductor of the RAI National Symphony Orchestra in Torino, Italy (2016–20); Principal Conductor of the Paris Opera (1995–2004); General Music Director of the City of Cologne, Germany (1989–2003), simultaneously leading the Gürzenich Orchestra and the Cologne Opera; and Music Director of the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra (1983–91).
Mr. Conlon has served as the Music Director of the Ravinia Festival, summer home of the Chicago Symphony (2005–15), and is now Music Director Laureate of the Cincinnati May Festival―the oldest choral festival in the United States―where he was Music Director for 37 years (1979–2016), marking one of the longest tenures of any director of an American classical music institution. As a guest conductor at the Metropolitan Opera, he has led more than 270 performances since his 1976 debut. He has also conducted at leading opera houses and festivals including the Vienna State Opera, Salzburg Festival, La Scala, Teatro dell'Opera di Roma, Mariinsky Theatre, Covent Garden, Chicago Lyric Opera, Teatro Comunale di Bologna, and Teatro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino.
As LA Opera's Music Director since 2006, Mr. Conlon has led more performances than any other conductor in the company's history—to date, over 420 performances of more than 60 different operas by over 20 composers. Highlights of his LA Opera tenure include conducting the company's first Ring cycle, recently re-aired in a marathon webcast celebrating the performances' tenth anniversary; initiating the groundbreaking Recovered Voices series, an ongoing commitment to staging masterpieces of 20th-century European opera that were suppressed by the Third Reich; and spearheading Britten 100/LA, a city-wide celebration honoring the centennial of that composer's birth. During the period in which Dorothy Chandler Pavilion was closed due to the pandemic, Mr. Conlon conducted LA Opera's live-streamed, socially distanced production—staged at the Colburn School—of The Anonymous Lover by Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, a prominent Black composer in 18th-century France. The performance was presented as an online-only event in fall 2020 and marked the work's West Coast premiere. The Pavilion reopened in June 2021 with Mr. Conlon conducting the company premiere of Stravinsky's Oedipus Rex, with which LA Opera became the first major American opera company to perform live in its own theater since the coronavirus outbreak. The performance was subsequently released online for at-home viewing. During LA Opera's 2021/22 season, Mr. Conlon conducts three operas long absent from the company's repertory: Verdi's Il Trovatore, which opens the season; Wagner's Tannhäuser; and Verdi's Aida. He also conducts John Neumeier's ballet adaptation of Bach's St. Matthew Passion, performed at LA Opera for the first time.
Mr. Conlon's first season as Artistic Advisor of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra includes three weeks of concerts, starting with an October 2021 program of music by historically marginalized composers. The featured works are Alexander Zemlinsky's Die Seejungfrau (The Mermaid), which is the piece that sparked Mr. Conlon's interest in suppressed music from the early 20th century, and William Levi Dawson's Negro Folk Symphony, which reflects a theme that will recur throughout Mr. Conlon's advisorship—the bringing of attention to works by American composers neglected due to their race. He returns in February 2022 for performances including Beethoven's Eighth Symphony and the final scene of Wagner's Die Walküre, with guest artists Christine Goerke and Greer Grimsley. The BSO season concludes in June 2022 with Mr. Conlon conducting an orchestra co-commission from Wynton Marsalis, Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini with Beatrice Rana, and Shostakovich's Seventh Symphony ("Leningrad"). As Artistic Advisor, in addition to leading these performances, Mr. Conlon will help ensure the continued artistic quality of the orchestra and fill many duties off the podium, including those related to artistic personnel—such as filling important vacancies and attracting exceptional musicians.
Additional highlights of Mr. Conlon's season include Bach's St. Matthew Passion at Rome Opera, Wagner's The Flying Dutchman at New National Theatre, Tokyo, the Paris Opera's Gala lyrique with Renée Fleming, and concerts with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra (Dawson's Negro Folk Symphony and works by Beethoven and Bernstein), Gürzenich Orchester Köln (Sinfoniettas by Zemlinsky and Korngold), Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra (works by Shostakovich and Zemlinsky), and at Maggio Musicale Fiorentino. Mr. Conlon's 2021/22 season follows a spring and summer in which he was highly active amidst the re-opening of many venues to live performance. These engagements included concerts with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Deutsche Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, Orchestra del Teatro Comunale di Bologna, and RAI National Symphony Orchestra. He also led a series of performances in Spain scheduled around World Music Day (June 21). In Madrid, over a period of two days, he conducted the complete symphonies of Schumann and Brahms in collaboration with four different Spanish orchestras: the Orquesta Nacional de España, Orquesta Sinfónica de Galicia, Orquesta Sinfónica de Castilla y León, and Joven Orquesta Nacional de España (JONDE). He subsequently conducted JONDE at the Festival de Granada and Seville's Teatro de la Maestranza. Additional summer 2021 engagements included the Aspen, Napa, Ravello, and Ravinia Festivals.
In an effort to call attention to lesser-known works of composers silenced by the Nazi regime, Mr. Conlon has devoted himself to extensive programming of this music throughout Europe and North America. In 1999 he received the Vienna-based Zemlinsky Prize for his efforts in bringing that composer's music to international attention; in 2013 he was awarded the Roger E. Joseph Prize at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion for his extraordinary efforts to eradicate racial and religious prejudice and discrimination; and in 2007 he received the Crystal Globe Award from the Anti-Defamation League. His work on behalf of suppressed composers led to the creation of The OREL Foundation, an invaluable resource on the topic for music lovers, students, musicians, and scholars; the Ziering-Conlon Initiative for Recovered Voices at the Colburn School; and a recent virtual TEDx Talk titled "Resurrecting Forbidden Music."
Mr. Conlon is an enthusiastic advocate of public scholarship and cultural institutions as forums for the exchange of ideas and inquiry into the role music plays in our shared humanity and civic life. At LA Opera, he leads pre-performance talks, drawing upon musicology, literary studies, history, and social sciences to contemplate—together with his audience—the enduring power and relevance of opera and classical music in general. Additionally, he frequently collaborates with universities, museums, and other cultural institutions, and works with scholars, practitioners, and community members across disciplines. His appearances throughout the country as a speaker on a variety of cultural and educational topics are widely praised.
Mr. Conlon's extensive discography and videography can be found on the Bridge, Capriccio, Decca, EMI, Erato, and Sony Classical labels. His recordings of LA Opera productions have received four Grammy Awards, two respectively for John Corigliano's The Ghosts of Versailles and Kurt Weill's Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny. Additional highlights include an ECHO Klassik Award-winning recording cycle of operas and orchestral works by Alexander Zemlinsky; a CD/DVD release of works by Viktor Ullmann, which won the Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik; and the world-premiere recording of Liszt's oratorio St. Stanislaus.
Mr. Conlon holds four honorary doctorates and has received numerous other awards. He was one of the first five recipients of the Opera News Awards, and was honored by the New York Public Library as a Library Lion. He was named Commendatore Ordine al Merito della Repubblica Italiana by Sergio Mattarella, President of the Italian Republic. He was also named Commandeur de L'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Minister of Culture and, in 2002, personally accepted France's highest honor, the Legion d'Honneur, from then-President of the French Republic Jacques Chirac.

Defining sandbox games
A sandbox.co.com game is a type of video game in which the player is free to roam and explore the game world at their own pace without being constrained by linear objectives or storylines. The term "sandbox" comes from the fact that these games are designed to be open-ended and allow players to experiment and "play around" in the game world.
Some popular sandbox games include Minecraft, Grand Theft Auto, The Sims, and Animal Crossing. These games all have different gameplay mechanics but they all allow players to explore and interact with their game worlds in unique ways.
Sandbox games can be contrasted with linear, story-driven games which often have more restrictive gameplay. Sandbox games sandbox.co.com offer players a sense of freedom and flexibility that can be very appealing, especially in today's busy world.
The open world: What makes a sandbox game?
Most video games can be classified as either sandbox or non-sandbox. In a nutshell, a sandbox game is one where the player has a great deal of freedom to explore the game world and interact with it in whatever ways they see fit. Non-sandbox games, on the other hand, are much more linear and focused, and don't give players nearly as much freedom.
So what makes a sandbox game? To start with, it should have a large and detailed world for players to explore. There should be plenty of side quests and activities to keep players busy, and the main quest should be non-linear, giving players the choice of how to approach it. Good sandbox games also provide players with many different ways to interact with the world and its inhabitants.
The future of sandbox games: Where are they headed?
In the last decade, sandbox games have become increasingly popular. They offer players a unique and open-ended experience, with little to no restrictions on what they can do. This freedom has led to some of the most creative and innovative gameplay experiences in recent years.
Looking to the future, it seems likely that https://sandbox.co.com/ sandbox games will continue to grow in popularity. With the success of games like Minecraft and Grand Theft Auto V, more and more developers are starting to experiment with this type of open-ended design. We can expect to see even more massive open worlds and player-driven stories in the years to come.
However, there are some challenges that sandbox games will need to overcome. For example, many of these games are incredibly vast and complex, which can be overwhelming for players. There is also a risk of becoming too unfocused and bogged down in details.

Does it annoy you when people tell you that you only won Olympic Gold because you were lucky ?
I'm the first person to admit I was incredibly lucky to win. I'm possibly the luckiest Gold medallist in Olympic history. But I had to be in position to give myself a chance to win. Competing at 4 Olympics, training 5 hours a day 6 days a week for 12 years is not lucky. You work hard enough for long enough, eventually you make your own luck. People with a negative mindset don't realise that. Occasionally people have said to me: Geez you are lucky mate. But that doesn't annoy me because they're the same people who are sitting on their couch doing nothing. In Australia we call it the tall poppy syndrome and its all too prevalent. If you have succeeded some people just want to knock you down.

We sit down to talk with the Kentucky trio's guitarist and bassist about their adrenalin-fueled mix of B-movie references, grade-A riffs, and smarty-pants chords.
Kentucky-based rockers Opossum Holler play in the style of doomabilly: an eclectic mash-up of rockabilly and '70s metal. It's a high-energy cocktail, but also dynamic, dark, and introspective. The band is edgy, yet quirky and offbeat—and they're not subtle. "I was influenced by anything B-horror movie related," guitarist Lloyd Nicely says. "So that's where most of it comes from." The band is officially based in Bowling Green and released their first album, What's Done Is Done, in 2011. Their lineup includes Nicely on guitar and vocals, plus drummer Matt DeVore and bassist Shelby Smith, who replaced founding bassist Brad Ausbrooks in 2014.
The power trio format suits Nicely just fine. He boasts virtuosic technique, superior tones, and an unorthodox perspective. "I was very influenced by Elvis and the rockabilly stuff," he says. "I got really heavy into a lot of psychobilly music like Batmobile, Guana Batz, and, of course, Reverend Horton Heat. I always liked the Cramps—things like that—and I was very into Dick Dale." Nicely also has an encyclopedic knowledge of vintage gear, which he puts to use working at Gruhn Guitars in Nashville. "I do the majority of the purchasing and consigning for the shop," he explains.
The group's alternative energy and first-class musicianship are getting them attention. Willie Adler from Lamb of God is a notable champion. "We never opened for them," Nicely says about Lamb of God. "But [Adler] came and played a few dates with us. We have a song called "Sawdust," and he will get onstage and play that tune with us from time to time." Adler also makes an appearance in Opossum Holler's camp horror video, "Hex," as a bartender and undead motorist. Their most recent release, Pine and Stone, continues to wade knee-deep in the sonic marshlands and showcases Nicely's fearless use of colorful chordal tensions (like 9s, 11s, and 13s) awash in fuzz. His ability to do that is a testament to his skill and finesse—not something you'd expect in a band as gritty as Opossum Holler.
"I actually taped an overdrive pedal onto the top of my guitar so I could hit the overdrive with my hand instead of using my foot."
We spoke with Nicely about crafting great tones, nuancing complex chord voicings from an oversaturated amp, finessing music from a belligerent vintage guitar, and the merits of recording everything live. Check out our sidebar with bassist Smith for added 'Possum perspective.
Who are some of your early influences?
The earliest stuff I listened to was probably the stuff my dad got me into. My dad was a professional bluegrass musician—a mandolin player. A lot of my earliest influences would probably be Johnny Cash, Bill Monroe. My dad was really into Bill Monroe, which really doesn't reflect in my music at all [laughs]—but a lot of the early bluegrass stuff was very influential. And Elvis Presley was probably my largest influence ever.
What got you started playing guitar?
Oddly enough, it was my grandfather. He was a banjo player and he wanted somebody to play music with. He'd play banjo and I'd play flattop guitar. But mainly, for the rock 'n' roll stuff, Tony Iommi may have been my biggest influence to pick up the electric guitar.
So in high school you discovered Black Sabbath and there was no looking back?
Exactly. Black Sabbath, Mountain, Deep Purple—it was not really metal, but it was like the very earliest forms of it. I figured that stuff out and I got into Nirvana—like that record Bleached—some of the '90s stuff, Billy Corgan. All the stuff the kids got into at that point in time.
Harmonically, the chord voicings and progressions you use sound influenced by jazz. Did you listen to or study any of that music?
I wouldn't say I've ever studied any music. I just hear stuff I think is cool or certain things I like the sound of and then I do my best to do my own interpretation of that. If I try to play a jazz riff or a jazz lick, I usually play it wrong [laughs]. I do like a lot of the old Gypsy jazz—like Django Reinhardt—that was always one of the things that was very fascinating to me. I've tried to put a little bit of that in there with my own twist on it.
Opossum Holler's fifth and latest recording, Pine and Stone, is a seven-song EP that follows two previous albums, another EP, and a single. It was recorded in 2015, and features current bassist Shelby Smith, who joined the group in 2014.
When playing with lots of fuzz, how do you get the different notes in the more complex voicings to ring out?
Well, oddly enough, I don't use anything but an amp and a guitar. I don't have any pedals. I don't even run a tuner into my line. I keep my tuner on top of my amp and then I use it between songs. I run my guitar straight into my amp and the way I make it dynamic is I use the volume control on my guitar.
You don't even switch channels on the amp? Do you do everything with the volume control?
Yes. Even when we record. Our recordings are live. They are 100 percent the vocals, the guitar, the drums, and the bass. It's done in one room.
No overdubs?
No. We don't overdub anything unless it's absolutely necessary. I like to make a record that sounds the way we actually sound. I don't want to give somebody a record and say, "This is my band," and then show up, play, and not sound anything like the record. It gives it more of a live, direct feel. I use my volume control a whole lot and I do switch pickups quite often. But that's all I'm using: my guitar and my amp.
Was that a philosophical decision or just how it worked out?
I played in a lot of different bands when I was younger and I always had a problem when I wanted to go from a clean sound to a really overdriven sound. I was terrible. I would always hit the overdrive pedal at the wrong time and it didn't work out [laughs]. At that point, I was using a '65 Fender Mustang through a Twin with an overdrive pedal. What I did was I actually taped an overdrive pedal onto the top of my guitar so I could hit the overdrive with my hand instead of using my foot. I was just better doing that in time. Over the years I figured that I would turn my amp up as loud as it would go and I'd get the tone from wherever I rolled the volume. If it sounds good there, that's where I'm going to have it.
So when you're playing complex chord voicings, you roll the volume down a little bit more?
I do. That's how I do it.
Inspired by the Rev. Horton Heat and other psychobilly guitarists as well as Tony Iommi and Django Reinhardt, Nicely has forged a unique and dirty approach to the instrument. Here he plays his '69 Gibson SG onstage with his bandmates in Opossum Holler, bassist Shelby Smith and drummer Matt DeVore.
What amp do you use? I've got a 1970 Marshall MKII 50-watt head with the original 4x12 cabinet—original speakers and everything. It's modded with a master. I've got a master in the back and I did that mod where you don't have to drill out the chassis. You put the potentiometer for the master through the other input jack. For some of my other sounds I use a 30-watt Matchless HC-30 with a Matchless 2x12 cabinet.
Do you use the lower wattage so it breaks up at a lower volume?
I use the Matchless depending on where we're playing. If it's somewhere smaller, I'll use it because I can turn it all the way up without killing everyone. If I'm playing an outdoor gig, I definitely take the Marshall. But I do prefer the Marshall over the Matchless. This Marshall is just real dirty and nasty. I haven't done anything to it. The speakers are tired and it just gives you that ragged thing. It almost sounds like a giant fuzzbox.
"I've been studying vintage guitars since I was 13 or 14 years old. When I first started playing the guitar, for whatever reason, I just immediately knew I didn't want a new guitar."
In the studio you just crank it in an iso booth and go for it?
Well, no. I put it in an iso booth, but I open the door and I stand in front of it. So a lot of the recordings you can hear a whole bunch of guitar bleed into the vocals, which I like. But I like to be close to my amp when we record so that I can get some organic feedback. I don't want to add anything that's not there and I don't want to add anything later. I want to be able to make the guitar feed back when I want to. Basically, I jump both the channels together and I turn it all the way up [laughs].
What have you learned about gear while working at Gruhn Guitars?
Oh gosh. I knew a lot. I'm not saying I knew a ton, but I've been studying vintage guitars since I was 13 or 14 years old. When I first started playing the guitar, for whatever reason, I just immediately knew I didn't want a new guitar. I wanted an old guitar from the '60s or the '50s. I started reading books, and then the internet was available and I started researching there, and I used to come to Gruhn Guitars. When I was about 15 years old, the first electric guitar I ever bought was from this store. It was a '63 Fender Jazzmaster. I'm very fortunate to work here. Since working here for George Gruhn, I've learned a tremendous amount. Not only about gear, but about sales. There is more information here than probably anywhere. I've learned about instruments I didn't even know existed.
Lloyd Nicely's Gear
1959 Gretsch 6120
1969 Gibson SG
1962 Gibson SG Standard
1970 Marshall MKII 50-watt head
1970 Marshall 4x12 cabinet
Matchless HC-30
Matchless 2x12 cabinet
Strings and Picks
D'Addario EXL 115 sets (.011–.049) with .049s replaced by (typically DR) .050s
Blue Dunlop Tortex 1.0 mm
And you prefer a big Gretsch guitar?
I have a Gretsch 6120. It was made in 1959. I bought that guitar quite a long time ago, before I worked at Gruhn. Brian Setzer always had one of those and Jim Heath [aka the Reverend Horton Heat] always played one, too. It's just this big goofy-looking orange guitar and I was always drawn to that particular instrument. I actually had a reissue of that guitar and finally got an opportunity to buy a real one. That's the main guitar I play. I have several other guitars, too, and live sometimes I'll switch it up.
I saw you with an SG as well.
I've got a couple of SGs that I play. The brown one in the "Sawdust" video, that's a '69 SG. I have a '62 SG Standard as well. As far as solidbodies, I really like the SG. It's one of my favorite all-around rock 'n' roll machines.
The neck on the SG must be completely different from the Gretsch.
Well, my Gretsch has a very small neck. I've played some of them that have a beefier style neck, but mine, for whatever reason, is exceptionally broken [laughs]. Before I got ahold of it, someone put superglue in the pickups to keep them from moving, the bridge is superglued onto the top of the guitar; it has terrible string action. I've never met anyone who was able to successfully play the guitar. It has a poor neck angle. But I like it the way that it is. You have to really fight the guitar to play it. If you're playing barre chords in the upper register, you have to bend them into key. But I just like the guitar that way. It's my favorite guitar.
Do you have any problems with the old vibrato arms on any of your guitars?
I don't use the tremolos that are on my SGs. The one on the '62 I have locked. It's a side pull tremolo and it just doesn't stay in tune. The other one, the '69, it doesn't stay in tune, either. But I use the Bigsby tailpiece on the Gretsch constantly. I can't think of a time when I'm playing that guitar that I'm not using the tremolo bar.
What's on the horizon?
We're going back into the studio. We finished up and put out this little EP that we were working on [Pine and Stone]. And now I think we're going to get back in the studio with [engineer/producer] David Barrick and try to hammer out another full-length record.

Vamping up Opossum Holler's rock 'n' horror aesthetic, the video for "Hex," from the band's 2011 debut album What's Done Is Done, features Lloyd Nicely's ragged and beloved 1959 Gretsch 6120 as well as a bevy of bloodsuckers and Lamb of God's Willie Adler playing a bartender and a demonic car driver.
Guitar was Shelby Smith's primary instrument before he started playing a modded Fender Jazz Bass in Opossum Holler, bringing a classic-rock approach into the band's sound.
Marsupial Mega-Bass: Shelby Smith Powers Up
Bassist Shelby Smith joined Opossum Holler in the spring of 2014. He replaced outgoing bassist Brad Ausbrooks in preparation for that summer's tour. But bass isn't Smith's first instrument. "I've been playing guitar for 20 years, since I was a teenager," he says. "One day I ended up with a bass and I decided I was going to really focus on that. It's been a couple or three years now that I've been really serious about the bass."
Shelby Smith's Gear
5-string Music Man StingRay
Orange Terror Bass BT1000H
Ampeg SVT-610HLF cabinet
Electro-Harmonix Bass Big Muff Pi
Pro Co RAT
Boss Fender '59 Bassman FBM-1
D'Addario Regular Light Gauge Chromes (.045–.100)
Opossum Holler synthesizes disparate styles, which wasn't a difficult adjustment for Smith. "Drummer Matt Devore and I played in some more quirky avant-garde bands where we blended a lot of different genres," says Smith. "That's definitely the area I came from. I was able to understand that approach pretty easily going into it." He's also adding a different spice to the brew. "Brad was really influenced by Clutch, Weedeater, and Fu Manchu. He approached the writing on bass from that stoner-rock and high-octane, punk-driven rock 'n' roll perspective. I wanted to approach things from more of a classic-rock perspective. I put my spin on what they were doing."
Smith uses a modified Fender Jazz Bass. "I switched out the pots and the wiring with a vintage wiring kit," he says. "It's a few years old but it's a great bass. It's a Jazz Bass that has two P-style pickups on it." He also has a 5-string Music Man StingRay. His amp is a 1,000-watt Orange Terror bass head run through a 6x10 Ampeg HLS cabinet. "It gets pretty loud, but it's one of those class D tube/solid-state hybrids. It doesn't get as crazy as you might think." Although it did affect his choice in strings. "The Orange Terror bass head has a really deep, rumbly tone, so I like bright strings to balance it out a bit." And unlike his bandmate Lloyd Nicely, Smith doesn't have an aversion to pedals. He uses a Bass Big Muff Pi and a RAT for fuzz, plus a Boss Fender '59 Bassman as a boost.

This post tells the story of two espresso machines: one in Los Angeles and one in Brenham, Texas. But it's more about deciding what you do and do not want to control.
In his book Made by Hand, Mark Frauenfelder chronicles his quest to make great espresso at his home in Los Angeles. He reviews some of the tricks to make good espresso from a relatively inexpensive espresso machine. (The machine he describes, a Rancilio Silvia, was around $500 when Frauenfelder bought it. That's a lot more than a Mr. Coffee, but it's cheap compared to espresso machines that cost over $10,000.) The problem with inexpensive espresso machines is that they have poor temperature. The water temperature can vary as much as 40 °F. Frauenfelder hacked his espresso machine by replacing its controller with a more sophisticated proportional-integral-derivative controller or PID.
The context of Frauenfelder's story is his book on doing things yourself, not to save money, but to have more control of your environment. He describes his adventures from growing vegetables to making musical instruments for the joy of doing so.
Something could short out his electrical system.
The roaster could burn his house down.
He might not be able to use the equipment well.
Sessions makes as strong a case for not owning an espresso machine as Frauenfelder makes for owning one. Frauenfelder speaks of the confidence and joy that comes from having detailed knowledge and control of the things around you. Sessions speaks of the hassle and expense of being responsible for the things around you. Both have valid points. I'm sure there are areas in which Frauenfelder is happy for someone else to take responsibility, and areas in which Sessions enjoys fine-grained control. But they disagree which approach is preferable when it comes to making espresso.
One of the things that prompted me to buy Mark Frauenfelder's book was an interview I heard on a podcast. He said that he was attracted to do-it-yourself projects after becoming editor of Make Magazine. The spirit of the writers rubbed off. At one point in the interview he says DIY is not about saving money; in fact, the DIY approach will often cost more money. I appreciated this comment since many DIY enthusiasts justify their projects with dubious financial arguments rather than simply say that they enjoy what they're doing and that the extra expense is worth it to them. I suspect Frauenfelder may agree with Sessions on the economics of espresso making, though they have different perspectives of the non-monetary benefits. And although Sessions only argues monetary benefits, he also has non-monetary benefits to visiting Starbucks. I imagine he enjoys getting out of his house, seeing familiar faces, etc.
Nice stories. The argument assumes that you LIKE what Starbucks does for you, and that you're happy with the variance in quality that you might get from visit to visit. If not then you're probably happier with your own espresso equipment (or software development).
BTW – My tip for better espresso is a good grinder. Spend almost as much on the grinder as you would on the espresso machine, then buy a cheaper espresso machine. I have a Rancilio Rocky and a Starbucks Barista. Great starting out equipment.
The irony of this story is that I have since purchased not only the espresso machine but a grinder and roaster. In fact, the exact system I described in that article is now sitting in my kitchen. So I have totally moved my espresso off the cloud.
I am pleased to report that so far, my house has not burned down.
Cost savings? It depends. If you assume that every Macchiato I have made for myself or Latte I have made for my wife would have otherwise purchased at Starbucks, then I pay for the whole set up every four months. Of course, the reality is that had I been going to Starbucks, I would have only purchased about 1/3 of those drinks.
This coincides with what I have said about all of those "money-saving" options like Costco, Sam's Club, making your own jams, etc. These are only a good deal if your time has no value.
Then, as Roger said, there are those non-monetary rewards.
My husband bringing me coffee in bed every morning may be the number one reason we are happily married. He's also written software for me and maybe I could have bought a combination stickies/ notepad program but having him write it gave me exactly what I wanted. Was it cost effective? No, but since he likes doing this sort of thing and I liked having something he wrote just for me (it's the thought that counts), it was worth it. The semi-monetary part of this is when you do something, like write an application, you learn skills and information that can be applied to make you more money later on. Like, if that whole software thing doesn't work out maybe you can get a job at Starbucks as a barrista or open your own way cool coffee shop.
I totally live by the Sessions philiosophy, provided that my neighborhood has something better to offer than Starbucks (which it does, by far).
Or you could drink tea.
Sounds to me like it's just two people justifying their addictions. Coffee is "chemically complex" only in comparison to something like salt, not saltines. Some people enjoy a drive, some people enjoy tinkering with machinery. And lots of people like to spend money on brown sugar-water.
I don't think it's a stretch to generalize these ideas to hardware and software. Some people want to build their desktop/laptop computer by buying each component off the shelf. They install Linux and open source software so that they can control and change their computational environment. They program in Perl|Python|R because it is flexibility and customizable.
Others buy a pre-built Dell and get it with Windows and Office pre-installed. They don't change the default options. They program in .NET and SAS.
Some proponents fervently argue that their way is better. Unfortunately, advocates of one approach sometimes disparage and denigrate the other group.
If it is worth it to drive to Starbucks and pay money for a latte, do it. If you want to make it yourself, do it. Same with technology.
Software as a service is not perfect, as you know. For me, the Adobe Creative Suite (ie; Photoshop) does things that online versions never could. And doing something like making recordings via Garage Band (Mac) would be really hard to do online. As bandwidth increases, it will be easier to do complex-CPU tasks online.
In the end, it's not about the money. It's never about the money. It's about what is important in life. And we all vary on that. In fact, maybe the largest dividing line in how we vary is one suggested by this story: some of us love what cannot be bought with money and some of us love what can be bought with money, and we allocate our efforts accordingly. Choosing "software as a service" is not just about choosing the service; it's about choosing among questions of control, privacy, reliability, personal pride, etc. Seeking quality coffee, wine, or music experiences (through DIY or through paying vendors) often has much more to do with socializing, pride, status, etc. So simplistic economic analyses that don't look beneath the service and try to make someone seem "irrational" miss the point.

Try to dry your hair without a hair dryer. Styling your hair with heat can often damage your hair and cause it to become frizzy. As an alternative, use a towel wrapped around your hair to remove extra moisture. This allows hair to dry without damage, and reduces frizz.
If your hair is dry and brittle, this simple conditioning treatment is a no-brainer. Wet your hair quickly, and just add a pretty generous amount of conditioner. You should use a damp and warm towel to wrap your hair, or you can even use plastic wrap because it traps the heat as well. After a half hour to an hour, thoroughly shampoo the conditioner from your hair, rinsing well.
Constant use of curling irons and blow dryers could damage your hair. Be certain to protect hair follicles by using a styling serum or cream before you use heating tools. These products help by creating a barrier between the heat and your hair.

What is a Breeding Bird Atlas?
A Breeding Bird Atlas (BBA) is a collection of data about all of the birds that breed in a particular state or region. The data is usually collected by ornithologists and other field researchers, along with many serious amateur birders—citizen science at its best. The state is divided into 1,055 equal map blocks, and each block is observed for at least 20 hours during breeding season.

'Second Lieutenant P.G. Foster Royal Sussex Regiment 2nd April 1916 aged 23. Died of wounds received in action.'
EH O29 - Percy George Foster
Temporary Second Lieutenant Foster, who served with 7th Battalion the Royal Sussex Regiment, died of wounds received in action, in London at the age of 23 on 2nd April 1916. He is buried in Hastings Cemetery in a grave marked with a CWG stone, although not in the war graves section.
He had been in France since 10th July 1915 and appears to have been promoted from the ranks, as he is also listed as being a lance corporal at some point in his army career.
Percy was born in Hastings in 1893 and was the son of Mrs Ada Foster who was living at 1 Alexandra Rd St Leonards at the time of her son's death. In 1901 the family of mother and two boys was living at 26 Emmanuel Rd. Although Ada is listed as married there is no mention of a husband. Her occupation is given as waitress.
By 1911 Percy was living at 141 Stonefield Terrace Rd, St Leonards with his mother Ada, (born London 1872) and younger brother Cecil (born Hastings 1896). Percy was a builder's clerk, his mother was a letter of apartments and Cecil was an accounts clerk. Again there is no mention of his father.
Hastings and St Leonards Observer - Saturday 08 April 1916
Lieut. Percy G. Foster, 7th Royal Sussex, eldest son of Mrs. A. Foster, 44, Alexandra-road, St. Leonards, well known in business circles in the town, having been with the firm of John Lester and Son, contractors, for some years past, has died. Upon the outbreak of the War he was called up with the Sussex Yeomany, and was afterwards transferred to the 5th Sussex, and went to the Front with a draft about a year ago. He received his commission in France for bravery, and was gazetted in November, 1915. When the Germans exploded five mines the 7th received orders to occupy the craters. "A" and "B" Company occupied one of these craters, but suffered such heavy losses that "C" Company was called upon to reinforce them. Owing to the severity of the fighting all the senior officers were wounded. Lieut. Foster assumed command, and held the crater for two days. On the second day, early in the morning, he was wounded in the leg and face, and later in the day severely wounded in the back with shrapnel, but carried on until the much-needed reinforcements arrived. He was for some time in hospital abroad, and was later sent to England, and seemed to be progressing favourably. He was operated on at the Darrell Hospital, London, but septic poisoning set in, and he passed away last Sunday.
The funeral took place on Wednesday. The coffin was conveyed with military honours to London Bridge Station, and from thence, accompanied by Mr. C. W. Foster, by train to Hastings. The train arrived at 1.20 p.m., and a military funeral took place. A short service was held at the Cemetery before the interment. As the coffin was lowered, Mr. C. W. Foster placed three red roses on the coffin, which is the emblem of England's last honour to its fallen hero. The firing party was drawn from the Royal Garrison Artillery, and the scene was most impressive. There was a large number of wreaths from Lieutenant Foster's many relations and friends, amongst them being one from his mother and brother (Mrs. Foster and Mr. C. W. Foster), and a laurel wreath from Miss Taylor.
Lieut. Foster is the first member of the Hastings Y.M.C.A. to fall in the War. Mr. A. Thorpe, chairman of the Association, much regretted that he unavoidably prevented from being present at the funeral to show his respect and sympathy.

Olympic – India has achieved many successes in 96 years
There was a saying in the context of India that sports will be bad, bad will be written, the Nawab will be, but now the Olympic Games have proved this saying exactly the opposite. The Olympic Games is to be held in Tokyo, the capital of Japan, in July-August this year, the 29th Summer Olympic Games. The modern Olympic Games began in Greece in 1896. India officially took part in the Olympic Games for the first time in 1920. In this context, India is completing 100 years of its Olympic campaign this year. At the 1900 Paris Olympics, Norman Pichard won the silver medal in the men's 200m and 200m hurdles for British-ruled India. Pichard was a representative of British rule. That is why Olympic historians do not include Pichard's performance in India's medals. However, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) constituted in 1894 considers medals won by Pichard in India's bag. From 1900 to 2016, India has won a total of 28 medals in the Olympics so far. If Pichard's medals are removed from these, then their total number will be 26. It consists of 9 gold (8 in hockey and Abhinav Bindra in one shooting) as well as five silver and 12 bronze.

The Olympic Games is to be held in Tokyo, the capital of Japan, in July-August this year, the 29th Summer Olympic Games.
Olympic – India has achieved many successes in 96 years, won gold, silver and cosine medals
Talking about sports, India has won a total of 11 medals in hockey, while in shooting it has won four medals. Apart from this, India has won five medals in wrestling, two each in badminton and boxing and one each in tennis and weightlifting. In the 1900 Olympics, only Pichard represented 'India'. In the 1920 Olympics, India sent a team of 6 players, while in 1924 the number increased to 15. Similarly, 21 in 1928, 30 in 1932, 27 in 1936, 79 in 1948, 64 in 1956, 59 in 1960, 45 in 1964, 53 in 1968, 25 in 1972, 41 in 1976, 20 in 1976, 76 in 1980, India was represented by 48 players in 1984, 46 in 1988, 53 in 1992, 49 in 1996, 65 in 2000, 73 in 2004, 56 in 2008, 83 in 2012 and 118 in 2016. India got its first medal in the Amsterdam Olympic (1928) and that too straight gold. The hockey team gave India the medal. After this, the Indian hockey team won consecutive gold medals in the Olympic Games in Los Angeles (1932), Berlin (1936), London (1948), Helsinki (1952) and Melbourne (1956). 1952 Olympics is special for India because this year Kasaba Dadasaheb Jadhav won the first individual medal for India. India returned once more in Tokyo (1964) and won gold while defending its title. However, in 1968 Mexico City and 1972 Munich Olympics, India got only bronze medal. India's bag remained vacant in the 1976 Montreal Olympics, but again in the 1980 Moscow Olympics, the Indian hockey team targeted gold.
The golden period of Indian hockey ended from here. After this, India has not received any medal in hockey yet. India did not win a medal at the 1984 Los Angeles, 1988 Seoul Olympics and the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, while Leander Paes won the bronze medal for India at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. This was the beginning of a new era. After this, in 2000, Karnam Malleswari won a bronze in weightlifting and wrote a new chapter in Sydney. India has so far won individual medals in wrestling (Jadhav), tennis (Paes) and weightlifting (Malleswari) apart from hockey. They were all bronzes, but in the 2004 Athens Olympics, Colonel Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore started a new era by winning silver in shooting. Congress provoking people on citizenship law to gain political edge: Patra Beijing Olympics was the most successful for India as Abhinav Bindra won the first and only individual gold for India. India's account opened in boxing for the first time. India won the most medals in any one of its Olympics in London. India won two silvers this year (Sushil in wrestling and Vijay Kumar in shooting) and four bronzes (MC Mary Kom in boxing, Saina Nehwal in badminton, Yogeshwar Dutt in wrestling and Gagan Narang in shooting). India won a silver (PV Sindhu in badminton) and a bronze (Sakshi Malik in wrestling) in Rio Olympics (2016). Now Indian players would like to celebrate the 100th year celebration in a grand way. India's 100-team team is preparing to send to Tokyo. Out of these, India can get medals in badminton, wrestling, boxing and shooting.

Diabetes patients must eat fruits dieticians advise patients
Diet experts say that diabetic patients must eat fruits, but not too much. The right amount of fruit will benefit them. Fructose is a type of sugar present in honey, fruit, vegetable and sugarcane, which gives energy to the body. Other forms of sugar include sucrose as well as glucose (dextrose) and galactose. Some fruits may also have a high glycemic index, especially in banana, chiku, mango, apple, and watermelon. Nutritionist and physiologist Ritesh Bawri says, 'The effect of fructose is different from sugar. Fructose is absorbed slower than glucose. It does not require insulin to enter the cell.
Diet experts say that diabetic patients must eat fruits, but not too much.
Diabetes patients must eat fruits
This is because it rapidly breaks down into fructose-1 phosphate. " Bawari also says, 'Diabetic patients should not give up fructose altogether. It is safe for diabetes. ' Nutritionists and food consultants said, 'Depending on whether blood sugar levels are controlled or uncontrolled, doctors recommend certain fructose intake. Type 2 diabetes patients can use fructose to lower their insulin levels and ensure they have dietary needs for carbohydrates. ' Peswani also said, 'If you take more fructose, it will increase blood glucose levels and increase blood pressure, which is a symptom of increased blood sugar levels. Its high amount can increase bad cholesterol, especially in men. Please tell here that after diabetes, people stop eating sugar, they also stop consuming fruit. This causes a lack of energy in their body.

Q: GPS Data Parsing I got my hands on a USB DeLORME Earthmate GPA LT-20, I want to use it as part of a mobile GPS ratification unit, Raspberry Pi based.  I have been able to access the raw serial data but am at odds with an effective means of parsing the data into a usable format.  the current plan is just to have it printed on screen in a meaningful way.  just looking at ideas.  Bellow is a sampling of the data, i have altered the GPS location data to remove the particular location of testing.  Perfer to code in C
I have read the following refrence sites:
http://www.gpsinformation.org/dale/nmea.htm
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_GPS_satellites
$GPRMC,050229.000,A,3XX8.647,N,11XX1.282,W,0.1,0.0,140518,11.7,E*4B

A: Looking at this information:
`"$GPRMC,050229.000,A,3008.647,N,11001.282,W,0.1,0.0,140518,11.7,E*4B"`

Use strtok for parsing:
int main(void)
{
    FILE *fp = fopen("test.txt", "r");

    char buf[256];
    char *array[20];
    while(fgets(buf, sizeof(buf), fp))
    {
        if(strstr(buf, "$GPRMC"))
        {
            int count = 0;
            char *token;
            token = strtok(buf, ",");
            while(token != NULL)
            {
                array[count++] = token;
                token = strtok(NULL, ",");
                if(count == 20)
                    break;
            }

            printf("Latitude : %s %s\n", array[3], array[4]);
            printf("Longitude : %s %s\n", array[5], array[6]);
        }
    }

    return 0;
}

Result:
Latitude : 3008.647 N
Longitude : 11001.282 W


Chuck E. Cheese has released a new ad, featuring "Chuck E.'s Easy Dance".
Surrounded by several dancers of all ages, the chain's mascot shows off his dance moves and performs a catchy song inviting viewers to join them. "Now, listen everyone, I've got a dance for you, it's called the Easy Dance because it's easy to do, it's really very simple as you can see, just listen to the music then repeat after me. Shake your legs, clap your hands! It's called the Easy Dance and it's going around, put it all together, let's break it down. Shake your legs, clap your hands!" Chuck Cheese sings, while his friends are dancing in sync.
He then reveals that the dance also includes a couple more steps, namely "March In Place," "Do A Spin," "Shake Your Hands," "Hop Around," "Wave Your Arms," "Touch Your Toes," and does them all faster, concluding, just like the young dancers, that this easy dance is "a little more difficult" than he thought.
The cute mascot says that if you didn't get all the steps, you can watch the video again and practice some more, and then come to Chuck E. Cheese and dance with him.

Periodic limb movement – Symptoms & causes
Close up Bare Feet of a Young Woman Lying Down on a Blue Bed Captured in High Angle View.
The periodic limb movement is a repetitive jerking or cramping of the legs during the sleep. This is the only movement disorder which is happening only during sleep and this is a reason why in some cases it is called period leg or periodic limb movements during sleep. The term "periodic" means that the movements are repetitive and rhythmic which is happening about every twenty to forty seconds.
The periodic limb movement is also considered as a sleep disorder because the movements disrupt the sleep and this leads to daytime sleepiness. The periodic limb movement may happen with other sleep disorders. Often, it is linked with restless leg syndrome but you should know that these conditions are not the same. The restless leg syndrome is a condition which involves strange sensations in the legs and, in some cases in the arms, while you are awake and you feel an irresistible urge to move the limbs to get a relief from these sensations.
It is noticed that at least 80% of people who have restless leg syndrome have periodic limb movement but the reverse is not true. In the 1950s the periodic limb movement was described for the first time and then it was known as nocturnal myoclonus. The nocturnal mean night. The myoclonus means a rapid and rhythmic contraction of a group of muscles which are similar to those seen in seizures.
You should know that the periodic limb movements are not myoclonus and this is a reason why the original name of this condition is not used today. The periodic limb movement can happen at any age. Like many sleep disorders, the periodic limb movement is more common in middle – aged and older people.
The poor sleep and daytime sleepiness are the most common symptoms which are noticed by people who have this. Many people do not know that they have leg movements until their bed partner tells them. The leg movement involves one or both limbs. The most common symptoms of that are:
There can be irritability, behavior problems and decline in performance at school or work due to lack of quality sleep
Daytime sleepiness and drowsiness
Multiple awakening at night
Restless, un-refreshing sleep
Repetitive leg movement in one or both legs and sometimes in the arms, which may involve flexing of the big toe, upward bending of the knee or ankle, or twitching of the hip
Those people who have periodic limb movement may also have symptoms of restless leg syndrome. This can include tingling or burning sensations in the legs when they lie down. Not every single person who has periodic limb movement ahs restless leg syndrome but there are some studies in which are said that about 80% of people with restless leg syndrome have periodic limb movement. Often, people first become aware that they have it when their partners tell them.
But also they can find their blankets all over the place in the morning which is also a sign of periodic limb movement. The periodic limb movement is diagnosed with polysomnography test which is also called a sleep study. This type of study is done overnight in a laboratory while you sleep.
The exact cause for the periodic limb movement is not known but many people believe that this condition originates in the central nervous system. There are some factors which could lead to it, such as
Metabolic disorders, including diabetes and kidney disease
There can be neurodevelopmental disorders, like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and Williams syndrome
Other sleep disorders, such as narcolepsy or RLS
Certain medications, like antidepressants, anti – nausea drugs, lithium and anticonvulsants
This is more common in older adults. There are some studies in which are said that the periodic limb movement affects only 2% of people that are less than 30 years of age but it can affect up to 40% of people who are 65 or older. It is noticed that it affects men and women equally.
