Tele for fingerstyle: thinking Player or Ultra?

Tele for fingerstyle: thinking Player or Ultra?

I’m coming from acoustic and nylon-string crossover acoustic-electric. I am leaned toward a Telecaster for the great body! I like both the Player and Ultra models.

I play fingerstyle.

Tele Player has nice tone and no middle pickup both good for fingerstyle. The middle pickup won’t be under my picking fingers. 👍

Pickups: is it true that Player can mix the 2 pickups in a blend? What about the Ultra? It is also 2 pickups and they can be blended?

I don’t know the neck profile terms. I want a standard nut width but prefer a flatter neck cross section (not rounded fat “baseball club” neck).

Here I can’t find a Tele Ultra nearby but it appears that the neck profile is more of a D that I want and less of a C. Did I get that right?

Also the Ultra has a very nice build quality.

The Ultra body may be contoured. I will used this for songwriting in long sessions and want comfort.

What is the test for Cushings in a dog?

What it is called specifically?

I am not looking for a diagnosis I just want to be able to use the correct terms.

Skin condition in Sheltie’s groin area

On inside of rear thighs. Sort of the rear leg ‘arm pits’ on both legs. Our beloved dog is a 12 year old male Shetland Sheepdog, neutered.

Does not respond to oral Cephalexin 500mg BID, Cytopoint injection monthly, daily oral 25mg Benadryl BID, topical Gentamycin/ Betamethasone spray,

or topical Otomax (Gentamycin Sulfate, Betamethasone Valerate, and Clotrimazole ointment).

Has chronic canine staph in other skin areas but this is very different. Stubborn stuff with a strange appearance!

(Note my finger in glove for size reference).

Edit: I have some 10ppm ‘nano’ colloidal silver spray that we could try.

New just loaded first new SoundFont successfully and did "add to score" - is that it?

I was able to get Live HQ Natural SoundFont GM V3.0 for its classical guitar sound. Learned alot as I installed it via Synthesizer and now see it in my Mixer. I applied it to my score.

My question is: with that done, when I select "Classical Guitar" does it now use this new sound? Is that it? It basically replaces the old default classical guitar sound?

Also, let know if you have found a better classical guitar sound! Thanks!

Tessalon Perles: prescribed for me today.

Benzonatate (Tessalon®) is a non-narcotic cough suppressant used as an antitussive.  Mechanism of action is thought to be inhibition of pulmonary stretch receptors whose fibers travel in the vagus nerve to the brain.  Although it was classified as an ester-type local anesthetic chemically related to tetracaine, procaine, and cocaine, it wasn’t until 2016 that bench research demonstrated that it inhibits cardiac voltage-gated sodium channels i.e. *it’s a sodium channel blocker* (NCBD). 

Tessalon Perles or generic 100 and 200 mg liquid filled yellow capsules are rapidly absorbed from the GI tract and onset of action is 15-20 minutes.  Duration of action is 3-8 hours. Due to the rapid absorption and significant toxicity, exposure in young children (2-year-old chewing one or two Perles) or overdose in older children causes rapid onset of seizures, coma, ventricular dysrhythmia and cardiac arrest. 

Yes sucking on one liquid cap the size of a smallest D vitamin can kill a child. "Rapid demise" means they die fast 😞 https://www.vumc.org/poison-control/toxicology-question-week/dec-16-2019-what-perles-cause-rapid-demise-arrhythmias-and-seizures

Also, be careful is you are on a combo that includes an anti-seizure med:

I have “6-03” on my current JD SBBP. Im very pleased with everything about this pour.

What do the numbers mean?

Also, is there a map of the barrel house locations?

129.3 proof yet smooth and delightful.

Particulars: Rickhouse 3-06

Bottling date: 8-2-23

Barrel: 23-06636

The SBBP again renews and positively challenges my perception of JD.

My review is that after a hard painful day, this 375ml is an oasis of flavor.

9.5/10 on the hardhat steeltoe scale. There may be something better but heck to me it’s a 10! Cheers and alleluia! 🥃 🎉

While sheltering as a tornado storm approached our home I was 3 hours late in taking my Flecainide and I felt it dramatically.

As you know, the heart can respond negatively if the meds are discontinued suddenly. I had a stark reminder last night.

This was a reminder that, in a different situation, of what can happen in an emergency where you’re in an ER perhaps alone and the doctors don’t know your history, medications, allergies — and perhaps a critical drug interaction.

Here is my double-sided medical alert bracelet. The top line has my name and DOB. On the front is ICE contact and more info including my diagnosis.

About the “Z-pak” mention I had to abbreviate as I could not fit “azithromycin.” It is listed bc this antibiotic combined with flecainide can lengthen the QT interval to the point of cardiac arrest (the heart stopping). Then I’m also allergic to latex.

There are many vendors, mine happens to be from Amazon.
