BOSS ME-50B headphone output question

Discussion in 'Effects [BG]' started by vicenzajay, Dec 13, 2005.

  1. Yes, I've owned my ME-50B over a year now...I like it (as posted several times); however, the other day I plugged a pair of headphones into the headphone jack for the first time (to do some direct on stage monitoring) and....

    I got nothing...at all - no signal, and the headphones (while passive) are good and work fine with the studio computer, etc.

    Am I missing something here? Does the output jack need a headphone "amp" to boost the signal?

    that's odd... i used to use the headphone jack a lot when i still used my me-50b and it was just plug n play for me. although that was just for practice and there was no amp involved so that could be another thing.

    could you hear your sound through the amp and not the headphones?
  3. But then I unplugged the amp, and there was still no sound from the headphones.

    I'm perplexed.

    if i understand correctly, this is the first time youve ever plugged headphones into the jack? so it's possible that it couldve been defective ever since?

    that's the only thing i can think of. maybe you should email boss.
  5. Just a thought - try unplugging the cable that goes to your amp from the ME-50B. Maybe the unit can only run one thing at a time, either the amp output or the headphone output.

    I have a $50 set of large Sony headphones that I plug directly into the headphone jack to practice at night, no problems and very loud (using the factory patches will rip my ears off).
  6. Like an idiot...didn't swap out headphone extension cables when troubleshooting this.

    Bad cable = no sound

    Good cable = sound

    Thanks again - Jay

Constructing minor Chords

Discussion in 'General Instruction [BG]' started by bassist4ever, Apr 16, 2002.

  1. okay i know a major chord is the same as a tonic triad...

    is a minor chord the same?? ye or ne???

    ps i did a search.. dint find anything about this particular subject......
  2. Jeduardo

    Apr 15, 2002
    Hmmmm . . .

    Yes they are all basically triads.

    Think of it more like this:

    Major triad is constructed of a Major 3rd between the root and middle note and a minor 3rd between the middle note and third note.
    ex. G major chord
    G (Major3rd) B (minor 3rd) D

    Remember that G is the ROOT, then you go up by thirds

    Minor triad is contructed of a Minor 3rd between the root and middle note, and a Major 3rd between the middle note and third note
    ex. B minor chord
    B (minor3rd) D (major3rd) F#

    Here B is the ROOT and you always go up by thirds.

    Hope I am not preaching the obvious here.

    Yes and no.

    A major chord is the same as a tonic triad in a major key.

    a minor chord is the same as the tonic triad in a minor key.

    Still that's an oversimplification. A chord can have more than the three notes of a triad. Just FYI.

    To make a major triad into a minor trial, lower the third a half step.
  4. okay C minors triad would have the formula C + minor 3rd (Eb) + major 3rd (g)??? is this correct or do i have things screwd up again?
  5. Jeduardo

    Apr 15, 2002
    That is correct!
  6. jazzbo

    It also doesn't hurt to think of all the C triads in relation to another. This helps the ear distinguish between these chords.

    For example: YOu know the C major triad. C-E-G. Know that you can simply lower the 3rd to get C minor triad: C-Eb-G. Know that lowering the fifth, (with the third), is diminished: C-Eb-Gb. Etc....
  7. I always kinda prefer to think of triads, or more complicated chords, as all being defined in relation to the root, rather than the 2nd note being defined as X distance from the 1st, then the 3rd as Y distance from the 2nd. That way always sounds to me as if it's implying that more is changing than actually is. For instance, if you say a major triad is M3-m3, and a minor triad is m3-M3, that almost gives the impression that two things are changing (well, to me at least), when in fact only one thing is changing.

    To me, a major chord has always been the way I got it from an old Mel Bay book:

    root, maj 3rd (2 whole steps) from root, perfect 5th (3.5 steps) from root. In other words, 1-3-5 of a major scale.

    Thats the way I always understood it too. To me its seems to make me think the chord changes or something, doing it the other way.
  9. I'm with you and ChronicPain on that. I'd like to know if the other method has an advantage to it.

    I want a couple good bass books to improve my playing. I'm a total beginner, so I need something that starts from the basics, and I would like it to get more advanced toward the end. Thanks for any suggestions, aerc10t3 :)
  2. I got all the FastTrack bass books and songbooks. They all come with Cd's so you can play along with them. If you want to learn notation, it's decent (I already knew it) but tab is right underneath so it's hard not to cheat yourself by using tab. Other than that, they're OK books and that's what I used. On the second book it starts into slap bass, so I think they go from noob to pretty good.

    I would reccommend "bass for beginners" by glenn letsch, simple layout with notation and tab, written in a relaxed easy to read style. It'll teach ya reading, the fingerboard, scales, cycle of fifths, ear training (intervals), and towards the end gets to some more complicated stuff with the modes. All quite simple to understand IMO. I found it really usefull when first starting out

    Building Walking Basslines by Ed Friedland and Funk Fusion Bass by Joe Liebman are two good books. These books are chock full of theory and good for a beginner or advanced player.
  9. The Progressive series has a slap method. It starts with simple exercises and builds up. Unlike many other books that have really cheesy examples, there are actually some pretty cool grooves, which helped motivate me to practice.

    These books got me started many years ago. (Volumes 1-3 http://www.musicroom.com/se/ArtistID/0000361/artist2.ihtml

    It's not going to give you any in-depth theory, but it'll definitely get you started. It won't scare you away like some other books might. (Not that you don't want to check those out too, but as a beginner, you want something presented in a simple manner so that you can start playing.) The exercises gradually build up in difficulty and again, the exercises are interesting enough for an exercise book.

    Afternoon all,

    I HAD one and sold it. Bought it off of Ebay about 3 years ago. This one had been refinished, not a really good job, but at least it was not a heavy finish. The bass was very responsive.

    This was basically a Kay C-1 with a beachwood (possibly) fingerboard.

    After I got my 2nd American Standard I had to let her go.

    Kinda sad.

    I do remember that there was a member here on Talkbass from Texas who had one and we actually talked Gretsch bassses on cell phones for about 30 minutes. Neat!

    On the relative rarity of Kay's basses for Gretsch, we currently have 51 survivors in the database within a total bass population of about 6,400, none built after 1943. The Gretsches are probably underrepresented, because most carry no reference to Kay and so are less likely to find their way to the Kaybass website.

    Sure. #5724 is a '39 Kay Model 89, named for its suggested retail in 1937, priced below the Concert line. The Model 45 cello was its line partner. Originally produced under the K-Meyer brand (sometimes under the Challenger marque), starting in '39 the company shifted it to OEM production for Gretsch (Tone King) and Selmer USA (Manhattan). The model was produced in low numbers from '37 through '43, most going to Gretsch. Gretsch-label production started in '39.

    The 89s are structurally different from other Kay models in that their exterior top veneer is maple rather than spruce. To distinguish them from the C and O models, Kay used a unique lacquer pattern on top and back. For '40 and onward the pattern changed significantly, so later examples can appear to be a different model. Otherwise they were built the same as the standard Concert basses.

    The Gretsch versions generally carry no reference to Kay, so they are probably underrepresented in our database. Some came with special Tone King tags, most have no tags. This has contributed substantially to the idea that Kay build tags tend to fall off and disappear, or that Kay was generally disorganized about applying tags. Many 89 owners think they own C-1s, as they are often misidentified by shops and luthiers.

    Including yours, Kaybass.com has documented 11 Gretsch Tone King basses from the '39 number bracket. Based on the proportion of known survivors generally to total serial numbers, I estimate total 89 production, including K-Meyer and Selmer versions, at 350-400.

    Just to limit the thread-hijacking effect, I'll add that the OP's O-100B is the only O-series example I've seen labeled for Gretsch.

    Steven I'm curious the serial number denotes that it is a 1940 bass. What makes you think it's a 1939? Is it just a maple top layer and the remainder of the laminate is spruce? Has anyone commented on the tone of these models? I'm also assuming it's considered a 3/4 bass?

    The Kaybass.com serial-number bracket for 1940 starts at #6500. (Caveat: Everyone should bear in mind that Roger has dated these brackets by deduction and inference from many clues over many years, but none should be considered definitive or official. Last time I checked with him Roger thinks of the dates as plus or minus three or four months.)

    In my small experience with Kay tops, under the top veneer we're likely to find some maple, but at least as much poplar and other lesser woods. I suppose there's an argument that softer plies make the plywood more flexible and so more responsive acoustically compared with maple-only ply.

    3/4, right. I can't say I've heard an 89 played, but I would be surprised if it's much different from a basic, ebonized-fingerboard C-1. How a Kay sounds can vary pretty widely depending on care and setup.

Meyer cabinets

    I am going over to a sound company here in Monterey in the next day or so to try out some Meyer cabinets! I have played several gigs through their complete PA and monitor rigs,but never just as a bass rig. If they sound as good as everybody says,I will most likely bite the bullet and buy a UPA-1(powered single 12 w/horn),and a USW sub(powered 2x15),or maybe a CQ-1(powered single 15 w/horn),and a 650 sub(powered 2x18).
    Has anybody gotten to personally play through one of these rigs?

    A pianist I've played with is a Meyer rep and he uses one of those UPA-1 cabs for his keys. Wow!!! Not cheap, he told me it's about $2K for one? He got his for cost :meh:

    Are you really serious about carrying a powered 2-18 sub? It must weight about 200 pounds!
  5. prockenklang

    May 22, 2003
    The UPA-1 retails for $5310.00!! As far as the sub goes,I think I would rather have the 2x15,but I am going to try both.I realize that it is heavy,but if it sounds great,I don't much care how much it weighs!

  6. What you're talking about is my dream rig...and have never played through this exact system...BUT have used several different configurations of Meyer when touring/one nighters and I can say w/ confidence: ALL configurations that I have been lucky enough to run my bass through have been beyond any 'bass guitar' systems I've experienced. And believe me, I've owned the supposed 'best' of those products out there; and its not even fair to compare the two, (especially in sound pressure/levels...while retaining crystal clarity). Worth every penny if you've got it to spend.

    Meyer has an office in Nashville inside SoundCheck. Buford Jones runs it (engineer for the quad versiom of Dark Side of the Moon). I heard their line arrays after the Summer NAMM show and saw a humidity control on the control box. I've heard the systems a lot when I lived there (my friend works for them), and they just put sound into the air. Like you said. Unlike anything else. The only bass speaker I'd say is similar is AccuGroove. John Meyer is a genius. I've said elsewhere that the big boxes come with heaters and air-conditioners ($70,000). :D

    Dave "Thunder" Funk

  8. It's funny you should mention Accugroove. Mark builds a nice box, BUT...(case in point); I was using a Whappo Jr. on a gig I had in Orlando 'bout a year ago. Turns out the facility hired a fine company (the name escapes me) but I was 'issued' two Meyer floor monitors (1 12 in each...powered, of course) as well as being about 25' from the Meyer side fills. To make a long story short, it was a LOUD gig...I actually had to motion to the sound guys to decrease the volume on the floor monitors, because I couldn't hear the Whappo at 5' behind me (and I was near distortion levels for the cab - using a Crown Macro 2400)! To top it off, the Meyer's speakers didn't even seem like they were moving! Sick. I don't know what those guys are doing there at Meyer Sound, but...it think it really IS rocket science!
  9. I'm intimately familiar with just about every Meyer speaker. I spent several years as a systems engineer for a touring company that primarily used Meyer. For my ears Meyer's cabs are probably the most articulate, coherent and musical concert sound systems out there. I know for a fact that any properly set up Meyer system has considerably better phase coherence than any other PA system I've encountered and gobs better phase coherence than any passively crossed over system. A properly tuned Meyer rig sounds like a big set of studio monitors. I always find that I can get a really nice bass guitar sound in the mix on a Meyer system.

    As for use as bass rigs? If you want an extremely accurate representation of the input signal you won't find anything better. A UPA-1P and A USW-1P would likely be adequate for any gig anywhere. I would consider a 650-P to be overkill for a bass rig (bloody pricey and heavy too). I ran my basses through a Summit tube mic preamp into an older, non-powered USW+UPA1 once, years ago. I thought it sounded pretty amazing, but a bit too clean for my tastes. Of course, I like the sound of an SVT and an 810 so take that for what it's worth..:D

    If you're into super accurate, you'll probably love playing through Meyer cabs. Better get the checkbook ready. :D

  12. Yeah, I can just about buy any piece of gear I need, but I don't have Meyer. I'm lucky enough to use their stuff, along w/ Clair Bros. on gigs that require that kind of volume, so I'm not gonna plunk down $10,000 for a couple of cabinets when for the most part, I'm PAID to use their gear when they're available and/or required.

    I had the Nitrobass (450 watt version of the Firebass)for about two years. Absolutly bullet-proof. Built like a tank and will never let you down. Very comfortable at 2 Ohms (Sounds better when fully loaded as well). Hard to say anything bad about it. It served me well.
  4. I've got a Nitrobass now. It's a pretty damn good amp. Peavey is great in that the wattage that they rate their amps at is totally accurate. The Firebass is a very versatile and very loud amp with tons of balls. The tone is pretty neutral, kind of GK or Hartke-ish. What you get out of it is whatever you put into it. It doesn't have a naturally dirty tone like Ampeg does, and it's not quite as hi-fi as say, SWR, but for the price.. it's damn good. It's also built to survive a nuclear war, with that rack case it comes packaged in.
  5. very good amp - highly recommended. I just replaced an SVT-4PRO with the Max 700 (Firebass with new cosmetics). I haven't looked back yet!

    Luckily it missed us down here, we had probably 40-50mph sustained for a couple hours and a lot of rain but thats it.

    Now we are being punished in the Dolphins game. :rollno:
  11. Hope everything goes well for you guys.

    And start thinking about up here in the Northwest, too. An eruption possiblilty alert was just given today for Mt. St. Helens!!:eek:

    For the last 3 days it's has been shaking like crazy, about 3 earthquakes a minute, mostly under a 2, but still enough to get everyone's attention. Tomorrow I will post a link to the seismic data website, so you can see it for yourselves. Belive me, it's incredible!!

    Rock on
  12. Okay, here it is. One this page you have to go down to the monitoring station named SEP EHZ UW, which is about 10 sections down. It's set up by date every 12 hours, and if you look at the last few days, you can see that it's REALLY jumping.

    Thanks to Bush, the USGS has had a big part of it's funding cut. This means that they haven't been able to monitor the mountain as closley as they could have been. They are waiting for the cloud cover to go away so they can fly methan and sulfur-dioxide detectors up there to see if this is just heat exchange or (my hopes are up) magma moving in the mountain.

    Whee!! I missed the last one by 3 years. I want to see this one!!

    Oh yeah, you may have to load the page a couple of times for it to come up right. I guess a LOT of people are looking at it right now. Gee, I wonder why?:rolleyes:

    Best of Luck Florida along w/Mt.Saint Helens area. It makes me glad i live in Indiana-bout the worst we get are occasional tornadoes and some snow storms/ice storms. With that being said-it's been a good 10 years or more since our last major ice storm that i can remember. ::knocks on wood:: Best wishes to all in harms way.

  15. Ever heard of the New Madrid Quake? Happened back in the early part of the the 19th century in Western Tennesse. 8.1 (approx) on the Richter scale. Literaly made the Mississippi flow backwards. Broke open HUGE cracks in the ground, killed a whole lot of people, and even swallowed one entire town.

    You area would have felt something along the lines of 7.0 to 7.2. Enough to knock over buildings and freeways, that's fer darn sure.

    Just got home. Rode the storm out in Sarasota, we got some 50 mph-ish winds for a while yesterday, power went out for about 15 minutes, few branches and shingles down.

    Things were a bit tougher here in Orlando, had some hurricane-force winds for a few hours from what I've heard, and some areas still don't have electricity. My place is fine, as is work (BC was open and operating today, but I couldn't get home until tonight due to the storm and a damaged tire that took most of the day to get fixed :p ).

    The east coast of the state got hammered, yet again. Brad & Brendan, I hope your families are ok!!!

    ...well, the reason that the damage in Central FL wasn't so bad, and that the power & etc in Port Saint Lousy (home of the newlywed and the nearly dead ;) ) is already back up is because the first three hurricanes this season already knocked down the weak trees and power poles!

    Hope everyone else here in Flaw-i-duh is ok....anyone heard from Rumblejohn?

Autorent Hertz Tasmania - Bike Rack Hire

One of the pains of travelling interstate or overseas with a bike is organising the car hire.  The number of times I've turned up at the airport to pick up a five door hatchback (which I've found is usually the most convenient way of transporting a bike with two or less people and two bikes), and found myself upgraded into a 'luxury car' which can't fit a bike ... grrr. Anyway, good news in Tassie is that Autorent Hertz Tasmania is now offering campervan with quality (thule) bike racks.

They also have a range of alternative vehicles like dual cab utes, cargo vans and 8 and 12 seat people movers along with luggage trailers which all can serve groups of riders.

The thing that gets my support is that they want to help mountain bikers get from point A to B, so if you're looking for vehicle hire in Tassie ... check out AutoRent Hertz.

As always (if you're wondering) has no commercial relationship with AutoRent Hertz Tasmania, and if you use them I encourage you to leave some feedback and let us know how they go.

Student Tax Education Program - Teens and Taxes

Everyday Purchases

EveryDay Purchases

Have you ever bought something at a store with a price tag that read $9.99 but you actually ended up paying more than $9.99? The difference is the sales tax that the seller is required to charge and then pay to the state. Many items you purchase may require that you pay sales tax.

For example, the jeans, orange soda and Blu-ray DVD are taxable.

However, the apples, potato chips and gum are not taxable

You may be confused about the 20 oz. orange soda.  Why is this taxable?  Read on and you'll find out the answer.

Keep this in mind when shopping as it will be necessary for you to have a little extra money on hand to cover the sales tax.

There are different sales tax rates for each county throughout Ohio. Therefore, the amount of sales tax you are charged may differ depending on where you make your purchases. Sales tax does not mean extra profits for the company.  The sales tax that you pay must be collected and then sent to the Ohio Department of Taxation.

Vendors are required to collect sales tax for many services and products.  However, some products are exempt from sales tax.  Most food items, for example, are not subject to sales tax unless they are consumed on the premises where they are purchased.

You'll notice this when you purchase food from a drive-thru. After purchasing your meal, look at your receipt.  Food items will not be taxed.  However, if you go into the restaurant and eat your meal, your food items will be taxed. Also, it does not matter if you purchase soft drinks at a drive-thru or with your meal in the restaurant. Soft drinks are not considered “food” and are therefore taxable.

“Food” is defined as substances, whether in liquid, concentrated, solid, frozen, dried, or dehydrated form, that are sold for ingestion or chewing by humans and are consumed for their taste or nutritional value. “Food” does not include alcoholic beverages, dietary supplements, soft drinks, or tobacco. Other food items that are not subject to sales tax (if consumed off - premises) include:

  • bottled, unsweetened water
  • ice (sold at grocery, convenience or similar stores)
  • fruit or vegetable juice with fruit or vegetable content of more than 50%
  • chewing gum and breath mints
  • sweetened beverages that contain milk, a milk product or milk substitute

Japan, Israel and the USA are going to moon despite Google calling off Lunar Prize

Mission Moon

Google had to call off its race to the moon as it noticed that no team will be able to complete the mission within the March 31 deadline. The teams from Japan, Israel, and the USA will nonetheless go for the mission moon.

In 2001 when Google’s Lunar Xprize was introduced, enthusiastic explorers had been hard to come by. It did do so eventually, revealing would-be explorers, although none yet ran for the $20 million prize. Rather, the inspiration that the company wanted to bring in has been seeing its success recently.

At the same time, escaping earth’s gravity has become ten times cheaper than what it was 10 years before. One like SpaceX sent a rocket last month that was powerful enough to even lift a fully loaded jumbo-jet.

Among the three teams to go to the moon, the most likely to reach there first is that of Israel. The non-profit SpaceIL is funded by Israel Space Agency and Sheldon Adelson, the billionaire casino magnate. Their plan includes getting a ride in one of the Falcon 9 rockets of SpaceX within this year. A man hasn’t landed on the moon for over 55 years now, and the Israeli explorers want to show that the feat is achievable.

The other two teams have planned around business opportunities that include building lunar infrastructure, ferrying supplies to the moon, extracting minerals from its soil, and more. The American Astrobotic Technology and Japanese Ispace are aiming to make money by hauling scientific pieces of equipment as well as commercial goods to the moon.

Governments, on the other hand, are concerned about the moon after years now. US President Trump requested about $900 million of funding for NASA missions to the moon, and this also includes building a space station within the orbit by mid-2020s. China has planned to explore the dark side of the moon that’s yet to be explored and radio signals can’t be received from.

Stay tuned with us for more updates on science and technology.

Parents urged to keep children home

School buses won't be running for three days either

AREA PUBLIC schools will be open next week despite a planned March 5-7 teachers’s strike but parents are being urged to keep their children away, says a school district press release issued last week.

“While school facilities will remain open under the supervision of school district staff, we will be unable to provide students with instruction during this period of job action,” the release reads.

There are a few exceptions for programs not staffed by teachers including FirstStart and StrongStart, Hazelton After School Sports Club, JumpStart at Parkside and Kitimat and PACES Child Care.

School buses won’t be running.

“It is the sincere hope of the Board of Education that this dispute will be concluded quickly and that normal school operations will resume as soon as possible. In the meantime, we will do our utmost to keep you informed of any new developments in a timely manner over the next week,” the release indicated.

The three-day strike for more pay, benefits and more services for special needs students follows the failure by the teachers and province to agree to a new contract.

A major sticking point is the province’s decision not to provide any more money for wages and benefits. It says if teachers want a raise, they’ll have to find the money elsewhere in their existing benefits package.

Meanwhile, the province has introduced legislation banning strikes and calling for the services of a mediator. That could pass next week.

Trying too hard

Have you ever tried to make a situation work, then realise it never will? It’s only really when we stop trying, or walk away that we understand that is how things were meant to be. It’s would be like flogging a dead horse.

For situations to work in harmony, the universal law and all parties must work in unison. Unfortunately, when we’re the only ones pulling in a particular direction the Universal Law will always go against us.

I have had one on-going situation that has plagued me for months and as much as I have tried to make the situation work because I didn’t want to let one person down, it became obvious that the only person I was letting down was myself.

Every person I came into contact with around my initial situation, brought about new scenarios that were making me extremely frustrated. It finally became clear to me that it was time to let go.

What is it that pushes us to continue to make situations work that clearly aren’t working? The answer is simple. We’re either in denial, don’t see the bigger picture, or understand that the Universal Law will play its part, regardless of our choices.

That sometimes the things we try so hard to work at aren’t meant to be. We just don’t always understand the concept.

5 Nov, 2012

10 thoughts on “Trying too hard

  1. In my belief of Christianity, I’ve learned to let go and let God take care of the situation.

    I struggled with the adoption for so long trying to make it happen (18 months), but I let go of the situation and ‘let God handle the situation.’

    It works for me to let go and just let things happen as they should.

    1. Thanks Lisa. My mother used to say that ‘God helps those who help themselves,’ and was absolutely right.

      Even with my own spiritual beliefs I still work on my thoughts and feelings. I never give in to some higher force, because I have to take control of my life and of any decisions I make. They are for me to make.

      I do believe though that our beliefs will help us channel our thoughts on what we deal with, but from my experience it’s in line with the universal laws which always seem to be instrumental in how things work out.

      If it’s meant to be it will happen. I am a firm believer of that philosophy.

  2. I had this happen with two family members who I have given up trying to change. I know it will never happen so I have accepted them the way they are.

    I think sometimes we try too hard to please the other person at our own expense. Much easier this way than banging my head against a wall and getting frustrated.

    You have to make yourself happy first.

    1. From my own experience, when we try too hard, even if we get to where we think we want to be, inevitably we’re never really where we want to be.

      I believe you’re right Randy. Our happiness needs to come first every time.

    1. The irony of the quote you’ve used Bill is that we’ll always meet with the same results unless we take a different approach. It’s a different approach that will give us different answers.

      Most of the time we continue to behave in the same way and still expect different results.

    1. You’re right, knowing when to move or change something is so important. We tend not to, because we’re afraid of change and how we’ll cope with it.

  3. Beating a dead horse is always a good expression to use when describing my life.

    I’ve spent most of my life fighting to make things go the way that I wanted them to, without stopping to think that I was making things so very hard on myself and everyone around me.

    I’ve had so many relationships where I thought I could fix the other person when it turns out they didn’t really want to be fixed (at least by me). I even went so far as travelling across country with a woman and her two daughters to make sure they arrived safely, only to be stuck in the dreaded ‘friend’ zone after having loved her since I was 14.

    I even had a chance to have a relationship with a woman who was so beautiful, inside and out, but I couldn’t let go of my fears long enough to be with her.

    I guess I’ve always just wanted to be the ‘white knight’ who rescues the ‘damsel in distress,’ but I’m realizing I was never very good at it. I’m not sure of where I go from here other than one day at a time.

    1. One day at a time sounds good Randy.

      Please try not to be so hard on yourself. I say that with all sincerity. The scenario you paint about wanting to be the white knight rescuing a damsel in distress is what we all learn from an early age. We have visions of how our lives will work out with all the romantic notions in place in our minds, but our realities once we reach adulthood become so so different. Films paint such rosy pictures around relationships sometimes, it’s hard not to believe in happy endings.

      I think when we try so hard to fix other people, the opposite usually happens, we begin to unfix them. I honestly believe the only ones we can realistically fix are ourselves. We each have to want to put our lives right, no one can do that for us. We can suggest tools to help others, even counseling; but primarily the bucks stops with us.

      I believe that if we stop trying, situations are more likely to turn out the way we want. Sometimes we just have to be okay with things and let things happen the way they’re supposed to.

My First Day Without Prescription Medication

Updated: June 13, 2017

MedsLToday is Saturday, February 18, 2006. Although I have been taking Serrapeptase for a very short time, since January 3 this year, and I have already noticed some remarkable positive changes in my health, today may turn out to be the most momentous day in the story of my health for over a decade.

Following detailed testing and long discussions with my family doctor (GP), today is the first day on which I have taken no prescription medication at all, since 1994!

In the years from 1994 until today I have taken a multitude of prescription medications as diverse as: painkillers, antacids, steroids, bronchodilators, calcium channel blockers, antispasmodics, and even anti-seizure and anti-Parkinson’s disease medications. Although the precise combination of medications I was given has changed many times over the years, until today, I had believed that I would need to take some, or all, of them for the rest of my life.

When I first learnt about Serrapeptase in December, last year, I was interested in taking it because it might offer me some hope as an anti-inflammatory painkiller. When I asked my family doctor whether she believed it would be safe for me to try, neither of us expected that it would lead to my being able to reduce, and now to stop, all my prescription medication.

At this point, it is essential to stress that my medication has been reduced, and now stopped, under medical supervision. I remain grateful for the ongoing cooperation of the doctors who continue to support me, and who will monitor my progress. I am thrilled and very surprised that it has been agreed that I can stop taking my prescription medication, but it is reassuring to note that my repeat prescription has been left active. This means that my medication can be restarted very easily, should I ever need any of it again.

I have no idea what the future may hold or whether or not such stunning progress can be maintained, but I remain optimistic and hopeful for a future of improving and sustained good health. I will keep you fully informed of my progress, whatever happens, but if today is, as I hope it will be, the start of a life free from the daily use of prescription medications, it will be the most momentous day of the story of my health for many years.

As you will remember, I stopped taking all my prescription medication in February 2006, but my entitlement to repeat prescriptions was left in place in case I ever needed to reorder medication urgently. On July 3, 2006, all my repeat prescriptions were finally stopped.

February 18, 2014 marks day one of another year of freedom from the ‘toxic cocktail’ of prescription medication.

Tips for a Successful Garage Sale

Filed under Closing and Moving

Garage SaleIf you are preparing to move, chances are you don’t want to pack and transport any more items than you need. It is often recommended to hold a garage sale in the last few weeks leading up to the move. The tips below will help you with planning your garage sale and ensure success earning you some extra cash for the move while getting rid of all those items you don’t need or use anymore.

1.     Plan ahead – Clear a weekend in your schedule for the garage sale and don’t plan anything else. Garage sales are hard work. You will be up late the night before organizing things and up extra early in the morning putting all of your items out for your customers. Depending on how much you sell, cleaning up can be quite a chore too, so give yourself ample time to set up, clean up and recover without having to rush off to a soccer game, basketball practice or a barbecue as soon as your sale is over. Also, check the weather. If the forecast is calling for pleasant weather on the weekend, you’ll certainly have a better turnout than on a rainy day. If bad weather is expected consider postponing the sale until the following weekend.

2.     Try selling online first – If you have valuable items that are garage sale worthy, you might want to try selling them online the week before you have your sale. If they sell online, that’s great, if not you can add them to your sale.

3.     Advertise – If you want a good turnout at your sale, advertise in the local newspaper, post signs in the neighborhood and spread the word to friends and neighbors. Be sure to list larger items in the newspaper ad such as furniture or appliances. If you have children’s toys or clothing, bookshelves, desks, etc. list them in the ad as well. This will draw the attention of parents wanting to save money on necessities or hoping to find good bargains for their kids when the school year begins. If you have a particular collection of something, indicate it in the ad too, catching the attention of hobbyists, collectors, etc.

4.     Involve your kids – Put the kids in charge of cleaning out their own rooms. Help them sort toys, books, clothes, games, etc. If they are having trouble trying to decide what to put in the sale, compromise. For instance, if they have two similar items, let them keep one and sell the other. If they have toys they haven’t played with in quite some time tell them if they sell three in the sale they can have a small portion of the profits to buy something new when you move into your new home. Better yet, let the kids run their own table or stand at the sale. This will motivate them to get rid of more stuff.

5.      Price everything – No one wants to shop at a garage sale if they have to ask what the price is for each item they pick up. Price everything giving people an idea of how much you want for your items.

6.     Welcome early shoppers – People who arrive at your sale early are looking for the best selection at a good price. Sometimes, some of the most expensive items are sold at garage sales well before the opening time of the sale. If your plan is to get rid of as much stuff as possible, and the shopper is willing to pay a fair price, does it really matter what time you sell an item?

7.     Don’t be afraid to haggle – Shoppers are at your sale because they want bargains. If you’re willing to haggle over prices, they are more likely buy more things. The focus of the sale is to get rid of everything, so if someone is willing to buy two boxes of children’s toys instead of one if you drop the price by a buck or two, do it. You’ll get rid of more stuff and they’ll walk away thinking they got a great deal.

8.     Arrange items so they are easy to see – Lay everything out on tables or neatly arrange items in boxes so shoppers don’t have to dig through piles to find things they want. This can be discouraging and sometimes sends shoppers away empty handed. Furthermore, group like items together in a box and sell all the contents for one price. Put 10 children’s books in a box marked $3 instead of marking each book for $0.50. The shopper will keep the items they want and discard the rest. You just got rid of 10 books instead of seven or eight. Or perhaps you have three beach towels you want to get rid of. If a shopper wants to buy two of them, give them the third one free. You just got rid of another item and they got a deal. And if the shopper doesn’t really need the third towel, they can cut it up for cleaning rags.

9.     Make big items visible from the street – Another way to attract shoppers is to place big items near the street so those driving by get curious and decide to stop. Bikes, weightlifting machines, gym equipment and furniture are good items to place near the street that will help draw a crowd, and once shoppers are at your sale they are likely to find something they want to buy.

10.  Invite neighbors to join you for a neighborhood sale – This tactic always attracts more attention if the garage sale is advertised as a neighborhood or block sale. Not only does it increase the number of visitors, but it will counter balance the selection of items you have for sale by offering wider variety. It is especially effective if you only have a small collection of things to sell.

11.  Make plans for the items you can’t sell – Have a plan for all of your leftovers. No one wants to haul boxes of items they want to get rid of back in the house or garage. Instead, make arrangements to drop leftovers off at a local charity, church or school fundraiser, etc. Load your call immediately and drive the leftovers to their destination.

12.  Have enough change – Be sure to have enough change to last the length of your sale. It is suggested to have $80-$100 in bills and $30-$40 in coins.

13.  Think about your needs – A garage sale can seem like it lasts forever, so think about your basic needs. Have a cooler nearby stocked with cold drinks, snacks and sandwiches for you and the kids or other helpers. If you draw a good crowd to your sale, it could be hard to find an opportunity to run to the fridge for a snack. Ask a neighbor, friend, or older child to handle things for a minute or two if you need to run to the restroom or stash some of your profits inside.

14.  Sell cold drinks – Many garage sale shoppers like to visit several sales in one day and start out very early in the morning. A cold drink is appreciated along the way, especially in the summertime. Stock a cooler of cold drinks such as lemonade, soda and juice boxes. Not only will your shoppers be happy to buy a cold drink but it is an easy way to earn some extra cash at your sale.

So, when moving time is drawing near and you are ready to start packing, you can lighten the load by holding a garage sale first. And with these handy tips, there is no doubt your garage sale will be a success.

Moving to a New Home? Top Ten Most Forgotten Items

Filed under Closing and Moving

For many people, as soon as they know they are going to move, they begin making a list of all the things they need to do. Contact new schools for the kids, open new bank accounts, change the address with the postal service, pack, etc. The list could go on and on. But often, even the most organized and prepared families might forget to do something important before the move or leave something behind. According to moving research, the list below calls out the most forgotten items when moving. Be sure to add these things to your “to do” list as you prepare to move.

Old Keys: If you’ve lived in your home quite a while, chances are there are plenty of spare keys around. Take time to collect all of them from friends, family members, your neighbor and that secret hiding place in the backyard. Leave them for the new residents to use until they have a chance to change the locks.

Records: Take some time to obtain copies of your family’s medical records. Don’t leave any one out – your family physician, pediatrician, dentist and so on. If you’ve already selected doctors in you new neighborhood, ask the office assistants to transfer or send the records to the new medical offices. This way they can’t get mixed up in all the other paper work during the move. You might also consider having your prescriptions transferred in advance to a pharmacy near your new home. Be sure to remember your pets and veterinary records too.

Also, be sure to get copies of your child’s school records. You will need them when you register your child at his or her new school. You might even ask the school to forward the records to the new one.

New Address: Keep your new address and phone number handy. You’ll be giving it out to everyone from the doctor’s office and school to the post office and credit card companies not to mention friends and family members. Don’t forget to notify other companies that send mail regularly, such as your favorite magazine, and take time to change your address with the postal service.

Find Your Buried Treasure: Collect any valuables you may have hidden around your home. Carry valuable items, such as a coin collection or jewelry, with you when you travel or put them in a safe deposit box until later instead of packing them in the moving van.

Retrieve, Return and Pass On: Spend some time gathering up all the things that are yours that may not be at your house like the hedge trimmer your neighbor barrowed, the shirts you left at the cleaners, the watch that is being repaired and anything else that is being stored or repaired elsewhere. Also, return anything that is not yours. Return movie rentals. Drop off library books. Return tools you’ve barrowed from friends. Finally, if you have any responsibilities in the neighborhood, like helping at soccer practice or serving on a committee for your child’s school or the neighborhood recycling team, pass them on to others.

Phone Numbers: Pack the phone books at your current residence. Chances are you’ll need to tie up loose ends for something or another and won’t have the phone numbers you need. Save yourself some time and hassle by taking the phone books with you.

Plants and Pets: Most moving companies cannot or will not transport plants or animals. Make arrangements in advance for their safe transfer to your new home. If you will be traveling quite a distance, take time to locate hotels along your route that welcome pets.

Clean Up: Keep cleaning supplies out so you can clean your house after everything is out. Use the half empty bottles of cleaner and other partially used supplies so you can simply throw them away before you leave. Or if you prefer, make arrangements with a cleaning service to handle the dirty work for you.

Family Funds: If possible, open a checking account in your new town a few weeks before you move. This way you will have cash on hand and immediate access to your funds especially if unexpected expenses arise. Be aware that some businesses will not accept “out of town” checks. Also, be sure to have sufficient cash with you and your credit cards. You never know what you might have to purchase during your move.

Garage Opener: Before you back out of the driveway for the last time, remove your garage door opener. You won’t need it anymore, and it will come in handy for the new residents.

With a little planning and extra effort, these commonly forgotten items won’t cause you a bit of trouble when moving day arrives.

5 Tips for a Stress Free Move

Filed under Closing and Moving

Moving into your new home can be an overwhelming task. From the old home to the new home with boxes, movers, furniture and new rooms to worry about, it can be quite a challenge to pack your things and keep track of what is transitioning from one place to another. However with careful organization and preparation, your move can be less stressful than you think.

Planning and Strategy

Begin by making a list well in advance of all the things you need to take care of before your move such as collecting boxes and packing materials to having a garage sale or dropping unwanted items off at a local charity. Tie up loose ends and personal business at the bank, doctor’s office, etc. Clarify the moving schedule, especially if you have a long trip ahead of you. Finalize with the moving company how things will be/should be packed. Organize your belongings by rooms, clearly marking each box. Leave possessions in their rooms so nothing gets mixed up with the movers begin packing the truck.

Organize and Pack

Being as organized as possible is the key to packing your belongings. Begin by sorting the things you plan to get rid of and the things that will be going to your new house. Separate items into four categories:

  • Toss
  • Give away
  • Garage sale
  • Keep

Your toss items should be tossed in the trash as soon as you are certain you do not want to keep them and no one else can use them. There is no sense in keeping this stuff around when it will only be in your way. Hold a garage sale as soon as possible and sell as many items as you can that you will not need in your new home. Put the leftovers in your give away pile and deliver the items to local charities, churches or any group that can use them right away. Finally, pack all the items that are going to the new place and clearly label the boxes with the room it should be delivered to in the new house and the contents inside. When you have to find something later, you’ll appreciate that you took the time to label the boxes correctly.

Skip Storage

 If at all possible, avoid putting things in storage, especially a storage facility associated with the moving company. Do your best to ensure all of the items you move to the new house are ready for immediate move-in. Sending your belongings to the mover’s storage facility incurs extra costs, increases the chances of losing boxes and causes a hassle later when it is time to retrieve your items. If you absolutely must put some of your items in storage, consider a storage unit that you can rent personally. But before you do, consider the fact that you will have to move your belongings twice, once to the storage unit and once to your home. Who wants to move things twice?

Plan Your Route

Unless you are only moving a few minutes away, this step is important. The farther you move from your present home, the more time and effort it will take to move. So, plan your route ahead of time. Traveling with pets or small children can present a few more challenges than traveling alone. Map out kid-friendly/pet-friendly hotels, locate restaurants your family likes and determine a few stops for mini-breaks along your route. Decide what time you will leave and how long the trip will take. Allow plenty of time. You definitely need to arrive at your new home before the movers get there.

Relax and Smile

No matter how prepared you are to move, something is sure not to go according to plan. Just relax and take it in stride. Work around the unplanned event or unexpected surprise in the best way you can. Don’t waste your energy on over-reacting. You need all your energy for moving. Relax, smile and look forward to stepping inside your brand new home when you arrive.

While you can’t plan for everything or prevent every problem from happening during a move, you can reduce your stress with these handy hints.

Levi Johnston in Playgirl

Sarah Palin and family.

Scurrilous Ephemera Nov. 3 2009 – Plus: sparkly vampire fave Robert Pattinson.

– by Stephanie MacDonald

That pesky, perky Sarah Palin’s archnemesis, Levi Johnston, is continuing the trashy Alaskan family saga by making claims that he is not being allowed to see his son Tripp, that he has some explosive information that could implode Sarah’s presidential hopes for 2012, and that he’s decided to let it all hang out for Playgirl. The rational response to all this information, of course, is: “No Way! Playgirl still exists? Why?” One also has to wonder if there is anything more effective in the derailment of Sarah’s political ambitions than simply listening to Sarah for five minutes. Perhaps reading what she has to say in her new memoir Going Rogue, but we’ll have to wait until December to find out; the very same day that Levi’s assuredly tasteful and sporty nudie pictorial comes out! Could it be a coincidence? Or is that crafty Levi once again using the powerful weapon of political destruction between his legs to thwart the Palin dynasty?

Sparkly-vampire-portrayer Robert Pattinson is on the cover of Vanity Fair this month and basically has this to say to Twilight diehards (or Twihards): “You are deranged and I hate you all. Please leave me alone.” Oh, and he says he’s not going out with that grumpy-pants chick, Kristen either, which is strange because a number of restaurant people in Vancouver who saw them frequently while they were filming New Moon say that they were definitely together. So he’s lying. And maybe he’s lying about hating Twihards too! So keep on with your mobbing and stalking, he’s probably just being coy.

Anderson Cooper has an adorable, accomplished and interesting flame, one with whom he’s spending time in India at the moment. Evidently they are in talks to purchase a townhome in Uptown New York together, not far from the gym where they often work out. So often, in fact, that for the last six months, Page Six has been taking pictures of them and calling this flame “Anderson’s personal trainer.” But Benjamin Maisani is not a personal trainer, no, he owns a gay bar! Which means that Anderson is dating a man and that man owns a gay bar. Ergo, Anderson is gay. Please don’t go telling middle America though.

Boyfriend must cut off contact from predatory female: Ellie

Flirtatious, single classmate causing problems in relationship between committed partners forced to live apart.

I’m 25 and my boyfriend of five years is going on a master’s program exchange to France for a semester next year.

But I’ve learned that an extremely flirtatious single classmate would also be on the same program.

When they met a year ago, she was very flirty with him and would constantly text/Facebook message him. She was also flirty in person and my intuition told me she liked him — but she was also always very nice to me.

I’ve never before been worried or jealous about another female, but this one made me anxious. My boyfriend apologized that it upset me, assured me that she was harmless and that she knew how seriously committed we are.

But recently at a party, she was just as flirtatious as before, in front of me and more so behind my back.

I confronted my boyfriend again and this time he acknowledged that she’s still flirtatious, but he’s tried to be short with her and not give her any ideas.

We both agreed that because of how stressed/anxious it makes me, something needs to be done. We just can’t figure out the best way to solve it.

I suggested he explain to her that the flirting’s inappropriate. But he’s extremely modest and is afraid he’ll come off as cocky and that she’ll deny ever flirting in the first place.

I don’t want to create an awkward situation for him, but I really need this to stop.

Should I confront her about it? Is this something that should only be done in person?

Anxious and Stuck

Any remarks from either of you must be made in person. Emails or texts can be used to make either or both of you appear very foolish and blow this personal matter open … something she might like.

Modest or not, he must speak up and say that she’s too flirty with him and he’s committed to you and wants her to stop.

Then, any social media contact from her to him should go unanswered.

Meanwhile, keep up your close and supportive contact with him and if possible make plans to visit.

My husband and I just bought a cottage for our small family including two young children and are thrilled about it. But we spent more than we’d planned and are nervous about the upkeep, etc.

However, my two sisters are already giving me their scheduled dates for spending a week there apart and a week together.

Our closest couple in the city has been asking for our summer “plans.”

And my husband’s best friend alerted their guys’ group that they need to schedule a long weekend there without their partners.

We only have three bedrooms at this cottage and I’m not interested in becoming an unpaid innkeeper.

We planned to eventually invite people (a couple with kids our children’s ages, at the most) for a weekend only.

How do I tell all these others that they have to stop dreaming about using our place?

No Reservations

Keep it light, for now. Laugh off the requests saying, “It’s a small place and we need to get used to it first.”

For those who push further, say that you need a summer there on your own, so you know what you can handle in numbers and expenses.

Then set some initial limits for future guests: e.g. three-night stays only, they’re responsible for one full day’s meals for everyone, bring their own bed linens and towels so you don’t end up with masses of laundry, etc.

Tip of the day

A committed boyfriend who’s targeted by a predatory female must end contact and clearly say why.
