Mannaggia, c'erano 2-3 mm di vernice, a mano era una faticaccia!! Fortunamente ho trovato degli utensili che mi hanno aiutato.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Veniamo al 2010.. ascolto Pulse dei P.F. e minchia, Gilmour!! Voglio un suono simile.. inizio a divagare in un entusiasmante trip mentale, frutto di una nottata senza sonno e ore ed ore di Pulse.&lt;br /&gt;Ok, rinvengo dal mio mondo parallelo.. cavolo, Gilmour utilizza un macello di gear, e soprattutto ha delle mani uniche.. non credo che me le spedisca per posta!&lt;br /&gt;Il sogno si infrange.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anzi no, mi rendo conto di una cosa: ho voglia di Stratocaster!&lt;br /&gt;Neanche il tempo di pensarlo e sto già cercando con affanno le membra della mia povera chitarra squartata anni prima. Ok, c'è tutto.. sembra anche in buono stato. Iniziamo a fantasticare!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dunque, un Wilkinson qui e delle meccaniche Schaller autobloccanti qua.. corde .11 e segnatasti in abalone.. o forse è meglio un ponte Fender vecchio stile, pick-up Texas Special e mid boost a-là Clapton? O forse ancora battipenna in madreperla, finitura Candie Red e meccanica elaborata, con selezione di fase/controfase per i p.u.?&lt;br /&gt;Ok, ho un casino mentale che non finisce più.. facciamo le cose con ordine.&lt;br /&gt;Oh, 4 anni di scientifico e non cavo nulla in proposito? Chiamiamo in causa un metodo di derivazione dicotomica, di chiara matrice Aristotelica. Wow, che paroloni, li userò nella prossima interrogazione di filosofia!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quel che ho è:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;. Body&lt;br /&gt;. Manico&lt;br /&gt;.Ponte&lt;br /&gt;.Elettronica&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sicuramente si salva solo il body. Tra l' altro sembra fatto in grazia di Dio.. e non ricordo che aveva un brutto suono. Diciamo che sarà la base della nuova chitarra!&lt;br /&gt;Infatti a breve la rimetterò in sesto e in base ad ore e ore di test (leggasi schitarrate ad ore di notte improponibili per una persona sana psicologicamente) deciderò i passi da fare.. cioè cosa cambiare e cosa tenere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-jx9LxG4Dhs/S65El02Zf5I/AAAAAAAAAT8/TcXnhjtlKtw/s1600/10032010109.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-jx9LxG4Dhs/S65El02Zf5I/AAAAAAAAAT8/TcXnhjtlKtw/s320/10032010109.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sono 3 pezzi affiancati.. non sembra male.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La parte dove si fissa il ponte:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-jx9LxG4Dhs/S65E_0FMJLI/AAAAAAAAAUE/Xo_0yCdIJW4/s1600/10032010114.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-jx9LxG4Dhs/S65E_0FMJLI/AAAAAAAAAUE/Xo_0yCdIJW4/s320/10032010114.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Per il futuro pensavo di anzitutto provare il vecchio ponte.. nel caso non tenesse lo cambierò con uno ''Fender style'' con 6 viti. Il modello 'double-locking' per ora non voglio metterlo.. ho già troppi scocciature con un Floyd Rose (in realtà un Edge) e per un po' non voglio sentire parlare di ponti di questa tipologia!&lt;br /&gt;Stesso discorso per le meccaniche: la tenuta spero sia buona, ma no mi sorprenderei se non tenessero..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L' elettronica e i pick-up non ve li mostro :-P&lt;br /&gt;Comunque pensavo di ricablare tutto e rifare la schermatura come minimo.. i pick up se non mi ricordo male erano il punto debole di questa chitarra.. quindi li cambierò. Cosa mettere?

I also save about 0.2€&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"&gt;All in all, this month i learnt how to save money and how to organize my financees -- let's hope to do it the right way in the future!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"&gt;By the way, the aim of all of this was to buy a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://minidisc.org/part_Sony_MZ-RH1.html"&gt;Sony RH1&lt;/a&gt;, the last Hi-MD device ever built.. in the previous post you canr ead why I love this.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"&gt;So you may be thinkin' ''When you gonna buy it?''.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"&gt;I am askin' myself the same question and can't get no satisfiyng reply.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"&gt;Probably I won't buy it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"&gt;Why?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"&gt;Well, I already have a nice recorder, the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://minidisc.org/part_Sony_MZ-NH900.html"&gt;Sony NH900&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and I'm not in the need of another recorder. I'm planning to record a gig in April and two in May, so..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"&gt;I also have bought a new mobile phone, a Nokia 5230, and I use it as an mp3 player when I get the bus on my way home Iy's an excellent phone, I don't kind of the camera (''only'' 2 megapixels) or not having Wi-Fi (there are no spots here!!), it has GPS and it's touch-screen.. I was very sceptic about this, but at the end it's a great thing and now I can text long and difficult messages with ease. Next step is to subscrive to a mobile Internet connection.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"&gt;So you can see I have no reasons to buy the RH1..&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"&gt;Instead I'll use the money in one of those 3 ways:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"&gt;1. continue to save (which I'll do for sure) money to add to those 61€&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"&gt;2. put them on a PC I'm buying&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"&gt;3. save for a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://line6.com/podxt"&gt;Line6 Pod XT&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;At the moment I'm favouring the last option.. man, the Pod XT is fabolous!!

Osservo la stanza del negozio, molto piccolo, con la merce disposta su ordinatissimi scansie arancioni, cerco eventuali attrazioni per gli occhi e rispondo, senza guardare la commessa '21'.&lt;br /&gt;Due secondi dopo me la trovo sotto il naso che mi porge la cartuccia.&lt;br /&gt;Non è originale, si vede chiaramente dalla confezione.. ma non è neanche 'tarocca' (va di moda chiamarle compatibili, ma per sono e restano tarocche), mi accorgo quando scarto la confezione a casa.&lt;br /&gt;Tra l' altro trovo un panno per pulire la testina della stampante se non stampa bene; la confezione, così sigillata, senza piegature, dai colori perfettamente abbinati (argento e arancione.. favoloso!), mi incute timore, ho paura ad aprirla e a distruggere un così bell' esempio di confezione. Credo che la lascerò sulla mia scrivania per venerarla la sera quando sono stanco.&lt;br /&gt;Ma andiamo oltre.&lt;br /&gt;La inserisco nella stampante, stampa il foglio di prova, che per inciso viene male e mi metto le mani nei capelli!, provo a stampare qualcosa e, avrete scommesso, non funziona. Perchè? Boh, misteri della tecnologia.&lt;br /&gt;Leggo la posta, navigo in internet, gioco, e poi provo a stampare.&lt;br /&gt;Oh, adesso finalmente funziona.. era ora!&lt;br /&gt;Non male devo dire, è venuta una buona stampa, non ci sono sbavature, il colore è pieno e non ci sono punti 'smacchiati'.. tuttavia noto che stampa più piano. Massì, non importa.&lt;br /&gt;Che sia la volta buona che trovo una cartuccia che valga quel che costa e duri nel tempo?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mentre scrivo questo post mi imbatto nella confezione. C'è un link ad un sito, bene, mi dico, lo apro.&lt;br /&gt;Ed entro in ecostore.it&lt;br /&gt;Mai sentito prima.. a naso sa di ecologismo, forse spinto, del tipo 'non usate l' auto in nessun caso', 'mettete i maglioni e tenete chiuso il riscaldamento', insomma, cose che mi paiono esagerate e da cui sto alla larga.&lt;br /&gt;Invece no, non sembra il solito sito che chiudo con Alt+F4 in 20 millisecondi.&lt;br /&gt;Vengo a sapere che ho comprato una&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://ecostore.it/it/prodotti/cartuccerigenerate/index.html"&gt;cartuccia rigenerata&lt;/a&gt;, che parolone!&lt;br /&gt;Vengo a scoprire che non è una pratica esoterica come ho pensato, magari nuova nuoventa.. ormai è prassi comune, roba che i giovani direbbero 'è old, sei out!'. Opporcavacca, non ho neanche vent'anni e faccio già questi discorsi. Via di filato ad ascoltare musica house e ad imbottirsi di cocktail!&lt;br /&gt;Da quel che ho capito sono le cartucce originali semplicemente riempite di inchiostro. Nulla più nulla meno.&lt;br /&gt;Ma allora perchè non chiamarle 'cartucce ricaricate', così ogni buon cristiano capisce al volo?!&lt;br /&gt;Vabhè, sorvoliamo.. tiro fuori la cartuccia e la confronto con quella esaurita.&lt;br /&gt;Sono identiche, quella 'ricaricata' ha solo la data di scadenza più vecchia.&lt;br /&gt;Hai capito te che roba? Cartuccia nuova da una vecchia. Mica male, mica scemi.&lt;br /&gt;Così risparmio plastica e imballaggio e non do da mangiare all' HP. È così bello, infantile, cinico e rinfrancante pensare di poter mandare sul lastrico una grande multinazionale!&lt;br /&gt;Inoltre sul sito ho letto che le vecchie cartucce esaurite, di fatto, le pagano; ovviamente non ti danno l' euro, ma un buono sconto. Ne ho 3 da dare, più quella attuale.. a conti fatti la prossima cartuccia viene 4 € in meno! Wooooooooow! Delirio di onnipotenza, lo sconto, il risparmio, il sentirsi 'più mejo' perchè io pago meno e tu no..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Morale della favola: per ora la cartuccia funziona, ho pagato 17,90 €, che è quanto una originale nuova, però ho risparmiato plastica e carta.. se non altro ho dato una piccola mano a Madre Natura, che non capisco come faccia a perdonarci le nostre marachelle.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1543150223602656577-4461282123894679610?l=giantrick.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://ecostore.it/it/index.html' title='Nuova cartuccia per la stampante -- la volta buona?'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://giantrick.blogspot.com/feeds/4461282123894679610/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://giantrick.blogspot.com/2010/01/nuova-cartuccia-per-la-stampante-la.html#comment-form' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1543150223602656577/posts/default/4461282123894679610'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1543150223602656577/posts/default/4461282123894679610'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://giantrick.blogspot.com/2010/01/nuova-cartuccia-per-la-stampante-la.html' title='Nuova cartuccia per la stampante -- la volta buona?'/><author><name>Giant_Rick</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1543150223602656577.post-2420109973022235619</id><published>2010-01-01T08:18:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-01T08:18:18.929-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Alessio Menconi; Adventures Trio; Aldo Romano; Luca Mannutza; Jazz'/><title type='text'>Alessio Menconi - Adventures Trio</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 16px;"&gt;Ciao a tutti, volevo segnalarvi il nuovo progetto di un chitarrista che merita la massima ammirazione, Alessio Menconi.&lt;br /&gt;I più se lo ricorderanno col Trio Bobo.. ma Alessio è anche un ottimo jazzista!&lt;br /&gt;Di seguito le date.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;"ADVENTURES TRIO"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Aldo Romano - drums/ Alessio Menconi –guitar / Luca Mannutza - hammond&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Progetto nuovissimo con un organico storico: il&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;trio&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;con&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;chitarra&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;ed&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;hammond&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Questa formazione non può non ricordare gli storici gruppi di&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Wes Montgomery, George Benson, Kenny Burrell&lt;/b&gt;...ma, pur avendo una base fortemente radicata nella tradizione ed in particolare in questi musicisti e nel bop, il trio suona in modo estremamente creativo e fuori da qualunque genere di clichè e definizione stilistica. La presenza dell'hammond suonato da un grande musicista come&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Luca Mannutza&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;genera colori e suoni evocativi.

Damn, it looks so gorgeous, great features, I want it.. at least untill I can buy it with ease. I have some MDs with prerecorded musci laying in my bedroom on some shelves, and I want to use it as recorder for concerts. All in all, the same things that everyone do with this little beauty.  But damn, it's pretty expensive for me, considering that I'm a student, don't have work, no income, no rich parents. So I thought: ''If I can save 50€ by the end of January I'll buy it with some money I have at the bank''. So I started my own challenge. At school I'l buy less and less food (damn, I buy a can of tea, an orange juice and a snack every day, I'm hungry at school!), on Saturday nite I'l spend less money on drinks, and I'll stop to buy newspapers/magazines.  In this thread I'll try to update daily the situation. I need about 1,6 € a day.  Money saved as of 01/01: 2 €&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: monospace; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: monospace; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;In the meantime, let's have a moment of pleasure: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLC8t5t1vwY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1543150223602656577-2477835240563319280?l=giantrick.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://giantrick.blogspot.com/feeds/2477835240563319280/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://giantrick.blogspot.com/2010/01/my-own-challenge-50-in-month.html#comment-form' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1543150223602656577/posts/default/2477835240563319280'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1543150223602656577/posts/default/2477835240563319280'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://giantrick.blogspot.com/2010/01/my-own-challenge-50-in-month.html' title='My own challenge -- 50€ in a month'/><author><name>Giant_Rick</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1543150223602656577.post-8643661199855609580</id><published>2009-10-19T09:21:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-19T09:21:39.369-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Busot Arsizio; Festival; Festival; 2009;  Jazz'/><title type='text'>Busto Arsizio Jazz Festival</title><content type='html'>Con assoluto tempismo (:-D) riporto da jazz.it&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', 'Bitstream Vera Sans', Verdana, Arial, 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1 id="post-2732" style="color: #7d0100; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 40px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jazzit.it/2008/10/04/eventi-in-jazz-a-busto-arsizio/" rel="bookmark" style="color: #7d0100; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 40px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;" title="Permanent Link: EVENTI IN JAZZ a Busto Arsizio"&gt;EVENTI IN JAZZ a Busto Arsizio&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;div class="entrytext"&gt;&lt;h2 style="color: #7d0100; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: 0.09em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Busto Arsizio (VA)_ 18/26 ottobre&lt;br /&gt;Ingresso ai concerti € 5,00 – Abbonamento € 25,00&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;h1 style="color: #7d0100; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 40px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Sabato 18 ottobre&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;h2 style="color: #7d0100; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: 0.09em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;Fondazione Bandera per l’Arte – Via A.

I can find a proper groove nor I can be very comfortable with the fast tempo (fast for me).&lt;br /&gt;But the nice thing I did was on the Bbmin-Eb7 progression, where I played Bb dorian, then F dorian followed by D dorian and at last B dorian, returning to Bb dorian.&lt;br /&gt;If you're smart enough, you can notice that F is the 'dorian note' (maj. 6th) of Bb, D is the 'dorian note' of F and so on.&lt;br /&gt;It's a great trick commonly used in progressive/fusion and some jazz music;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/lazaruspace"&gt;Lazarus&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;usually does this kind of stuff, and I learnt it from him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This time the Backing Track is &lt;a href="http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LVZ4VT3E"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My take is &lt;a href="http://www.yousendit.com/download/YkxJblFJWlRJMHRFQlE9PQ"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have any suggestion/advice, please tell me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;p.s.: when the Jam is over, I'll post a sum here.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1543150223602656577-1369571622352514539?l=giantrick.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://racerxband.com/board/viewtopic.php?p=418848#418848' title='Racer X Forum Jam 8 -- my take!!'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://giantrick.blogspot.com/feeds/1369571622352514539/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://giantrick.blogspot.com/2009/09/racer-x-forum-jam-8-my-take.html#comment-form' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1543150223602656577/posts/default/1369571622352514539'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1543150223602656577/posts/default/1369571622352514539'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://giantrick.blogspot.com/2009/09/racer-x-forum-jam-8-my-take.html' title='Racer X Forum Jam 8 -- my take!!'/><author><name>Giant_Rick</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1543150223602656577.post-2842098282523727244</id><published>2009-09-06T11:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-06T11:21:17.884-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Music Classic Grieg peer Gynt Debussy La Mer'/><title type='text'>2 new CDs</title><content type='html'>On Thursday (nice to understand that the name of this day is after the God 'Thor'!)
