Getgood is a guru of contemporary metal guitar tones and tackles some received wisdom that is less relevant to today's player Adam ‘Nolly’ Getgood is the guitar world’s man for all seasons He’s been a member of influential contemporary metal outfit Periphery an in-demand producer of hard-rock and metal records and an expert adviser and product developer for Bare Knuckle Pickups But he is perhaps best known for his ability to craft incredibly chunky detailed high-gain guitar tones that lack for nothing in definition and edge – yet still have a harmonically rich and full sound While it’s tempting to think high gain is all about amps and distortion choices Adam says the process of getting searing-hot tone that sounds chunky and well defined begins with the player’s fingers “And even then, you’re probably still going to be reducing low-end by using something like an overdrive pedal classically a Tube Screamer/Super Overdrive kind of thing – not really for distortion but because they have this naturally very filtered frequency response but what happens when the player palm-mutes it’s often an enemy to punchy high-gain tone muddying your sound and slowing down the crisp response to pick attack that fast Adam adds that the heavily ‘scooped’ sound that people often associate with metal – with treble and bass set high and mids set low – may have arisen from a misconception it’s pretty rare for high-gain guitar tones to have very little in the way of midrange frequencies All of that distortion flattening out the frequency response requires some mid coverage to sound great.” The high-output pickup thing was relevant in a time when people were trying to squeeze more gain out of amps that naturally have a huge amount of low-frequency cut the days when a ceramic ’bucker with an output like a power station was de rigueur for metal are probably over “I think the high-output pickup thing was relevant in a time when people were trying to squeeze more gain out of amps that naturally have a huge amount of low-frequency cut in the bottom gain, like Marshalls,” Nolly explains “So you could chuck a very high-output pickup which naturally is going to have a lot more low frequencies into that and it doesn’t get out of control.” so the game is more about controlling low-end and adding in some useful midrange heft “You still want to have a pickup that’s got a decent midrange Some really vintage pickups can be quite hollowed out in that region so typically you want a pickup that’s in the medium-output range or a pickup that’s lower output but voiced with a nice prominent midrange “I think where we’re at now is that high-gain players are mostly using a medium-output pickup or high-gain pickups that have been voiced to have less low‑end or even lower-gain pickups that are voiced to have more midrange and softer treble.” “Then you’ve got something like active pickups which were obviously a huge thing when they came out and are still used by lots of metal artists who are playing EMGs and Fishmans “Those typically have a huge amount of built-in low-cut on them but the low frequency has been filtered out which immediately makes them sound very tight But you actually almost can’t use those with players that are too aggressive because they’re already so kind of toppy and they exaggerate that pick attack.” metal is as nuanced in its way as any bluesman’s tonal palette that’s powered by Patent Applied For pickups and Tweed amps – and understanding this is definitely to your gain Jamie DicksonJamie Dickson is Editor-in-Chief of

courtesy of DTF Director Jesse Smith) WELLSVILLE — The Columbiana County Drug Task Force (DTF) seized suspected drugs and a gun from Wellsville residences on Thursday The suspected drugs and gun were seized during the simultaneous execution of search warrants at two locations the execution of the two warrants were the culmination of a long investigation and the two locations were connected in their investigation These two warrants are the fifth and sixth searches in East Liverpool and Wellsville combined that led to the seizure of drugs since the beginning of the year that while it was two different search warrants because of the proximity of the two locations and the DTF knew the two houses were involved in trafficking together the agency decided to hit them both at the same time Information discovered as part of a long investigation led the agents to believe the residents of both locations were working together to sell drugs There were no arrests or charges issued from the search warrants but charges are pending lab results of the suspected drugs from Bureau of Criminal Investigations (BCI) was what Smith said was the primary supplier of the two houses they found evidence that the resident there attempted to flush a large amount of methamphetamine down the toilet DTF agents were able to recover a large portion of that Smith said even after the resident attempted to flush it They also seized a small amount of suspected cocaine and 28 grams of suspected ecstasy pills drug paraphernalia suspected with drug trafficking Whether it was stolen or not has not been confirmed and will be investigated further Smith noted that it was a pretty fair amount of suspected ecstasy seized which is odd because they don’t tend to see a lot of ecstasy in the area He noted that it was pretty big in larger party towns but locally they don’t see a lot of it was mostly just user level weight of suspected methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia suspected for trafficking in smaller amounts Smith noted that the DTF receives funding assistance from the county sales tax which is up for renewal in May and asked that residents who appreciate what they do and

Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) port of entry where a combined 228kg of illegal narcotics were seized in separate incidents when CBSA officers examined a commercial truck carrying a mixed load destined for Calgary Officers noticed abnormalities in the cargo leading to the discovery of 186kg of methamphetamine—with an estimated street value of $1.86 million CAD when another commercial truck bound for Calgary was sent for secondary examination CBSA officers found two boxes in the trailer containing bricks of cocaine “We're constantly on the lookout for narcotics,” said Benjamin Tame the Coutts Port of Entry is located near Sweet Grass a region that has seen an increase in drug-related activity “We’re dealing with a lot of drug situations in our county,” said Tyler Padilla “The traffic coming through our community has changed a lot over the last few years.” CBSA statistics show that in the first ten months of 2024 border officers in the Prairie region alone were responsible for 1,594 narcotics seizures law enforcement stress that cross-border cooperation is critical in stopping the illegal flow of drugs “I think just the communication side—whether it be CBSA Customs and Border Protection—goes a long way in helping us monitor and police drug activity in our county,” Sheriff Padilla emphasized CBSA’s Benjamin Tame echoed that sentiment “We work with our domestic and international partners in the shared pursuit of keeping our communities safe and preventing illicit drugs from entering our streets.” Authorities urge the public to stay vigilant and report any suspected criminal activity Anyone with information is encouraged to contact local law enforcement to help combat the ongoing drug crisis Report a typo Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker Officials at the Lummi Nation say this week’s arrests in a drug ring linked to recent overdose deaths of tribal members could offer a measure of justice The tribal nation near Bellingham put a national spotlight on the fentanyl epidemic last September when four members died of drug overdoses in as many days and the tribe declared a state of emergency chairman of the Lummi Indian Business Council said this criminal case is forcing everyone to revisit the pain of the losses last fall and beyond “Now we’re remembering that time of the just overwhelming amount of overdose deaths that were happening at Lummi Nation and to see articles and media saying that Lummi Nation was a target in these drug activities is hurtful to a lot of us,” Hillaire said in the midst of these adversities we’re thanking and finding strength in being there for each other Hillaire said he’s grateful for what he called a notable amount of collaboration between Lummi tribal police and federal officials and investigators to pursue this case and other remedies a lot of confusion and a lot of questions that our people wanted answers to And I think we’re getting closer,” he said “and this is what can be done when we partner together.” the FBI and the DEA have indicted 14 people with conspiracy to distribute fentanyl and launder money Officials say the drug ring based in Renton extended to multiple states Hillaire said it was gratifying to see the tribal council spring into action getting answers on criminal jurisdiction to block drug trafficking on tribal land and expanding medication-assisted treatment and other support for people with substance use disorder Federal investigators allege that the phone of one of the overdose victims had contact information linking them with the drug trafficking organization which they say was led by Marquis Jackson Jackson’s parents Mandel and Matelita or “Marty” Jackson Marty Jackson has been the executive director of the SE Network SafetyNet initiative through Boys & Girls Clubs of King County that receives city and county contracts for violence prevention efforts in the Rainier Beach neighborhood of South Seattle and sends teams into Seattle Public Schools She’s accused of helping the trafficking organization launder their money Boys &Girls Clubs of King County referred to Jackson as a “former” employee Seattle Public Schools provided a statement to KUOW Friday saying they have “paused” future plans with the SE Network SafetyNet initiative that Jackson led Seattle Public Schools (SPS) is aware of the federal indictments involving a noted Seattle activist handed down by the grand jury on Oct district representatives reached out to the City of Seattle to gather information and determine the next steps with the Boys and Girls Club as a service provider We have paused any plans for a memorandum of understanding with the SE Network SafetyNet until more clarity regarding future operations is known Amy Radil is a

cargo trailers But the Port of LA's police department recently busted a much larger and more organized trailer theft scheme: the department uncovered a ring of local thieves who were making off with dozens of chassis from container terminals and reselling them as new making off with millions of dollars in ill-gotten profits.  A joint investigation by the LA Police Department and the LA Port Police revealed the existence of a large-scale trailer theft ring that had likely been working in the Port of LA since last year Authorities believe that the criminals accessed container terminals on port grounds; stole empty chassis that were stored and awaiting use; and relocated them to a storage yard in Gardena the gang allegedly removed all the identifying marks from the chassis and resold them to unwitting buyers as new chassis.  In a raid on the 14500 block of South Avalon Boulevard in Gardena 10 miles north of the Port of LA, police found 24 stolen chassis with a value of about $600,000 Given the scale of the scheme and the value of each chassis the police believe that the theft ring was earning millions of dollars in revenue.  was arrested at the storage lot and now faces potential charges of receiving stolen property and additional arrests are expected soon; the port police are gathering information and are interested in receiving any relevant tips from the public “The Port of Los Angeles [is] the busiest port in the United States so stopping this theft was important for everyone involved,” said LA Port Police spokesperson Lt “Our investigation into these activities continues to evolve but we hope this arrest sends a message to other criminals targeting the Port complex.” I began prioritizing comfort above all else This new philosophy meant trading a lot of my rigid underwire bras for softer it's not always easy to find bralettes that make me feel secure and supported underwire does a lot of the heavy lifting (quite literally) in traditional bras I've figured out that the best bralettes for large busts have certain features in common and deeper cups — and they're made with material that has a bit more structure.  you don't have to sacrifice support — or style — for comfort Here are some of the best bralettes for large busts I've tested.  For more of our recommendations for folks with larger chests, see our articles on the best swimsuits for large busts. This bralette has it all: adjustable straps and even a bonded cradle for maximum support without the wires I can convert the straps to a criss-cross back making it versatile enough to wear with a range of tops and dresses and I really appreciate that it has an adjustable band — something that a lot of bralettes are lacking there's not much I don't like about this bralette It even features removable cups for occasions when I need a little extra coverage — and the mesh and lace detailing add some unexpected sex appeal "The bonded underband lifts the bust without the wires for a perky loo, and the rounded shape makes this a great non-wired t-shirt bra," says Katie Weir, the bra fitting expert and founder of Curvy Kate thin material doesn't offer a ton of coverage I bought this bralette on a whim when I was looking for comfy underthings to sleep in — and I'm so glad I did I ended up ordering it in several more colors — and luckily there are a whopping 21 options to choose from and my go-to for lazy Sundays and Friday nights in it is worth noting that because the fabric is so thin and there's no padding you may want to use nipple covers if you wear it out I also appreciate that the straps are adjustable on this one make sure you size down if you're between two sizes to make sure you get adequate support prevents "pancaking," wide and supportive straps The comfort of the bralettes is down to a support feature called the "EB Core," which is a patented technology that helps keep the bra's shape while preventing "pancaking." The bralettes also have thicker straps that help with weight distribution is fantastic for wearing under lower-cut tops because of the V-neck design It's smoothing on your back while giving your breasts a lift that doesn't sacrifice comfort.  Despite the fact that this bralette has no cups and the fact that [larger sizes] have a higher center gore in front to ensure less spillage," says Weir The v-neckline gives this bralette some extra points in the versatility department and the front-adjusting straps make finding your perfect fit so much easier. Did I mention that the fabric feels as soft as silk Pros: You can pick your exact band size; the bras are made specifically for large bust sizes Cons: Some reviewers say it doesn't provide enough separation between breasts Buying a bralette in alpha sizing is almost impossible if you have larger breasts and the cups can create an unflattering squishing effect This bralette solves those issues by offering two cup sizes specifically for those with larger breasts: D/E and F/G the pieces come in band sizes from 30 to 42 The Cup-Sized Lace Bralette also has convertible straps and This means that you can keep using the piece even as the elastic stretches over time Pros: Fastens at the back so it's easy to put on Cons: Not great for people with larger band sizes meaning that they specialize in bras and swimsuits for larger cup sizes I sometimes find that brands that specialize in larger sizes often have too many support features for me Ultra-thick straps and full-coverage bras often overwhelm my frame and make it hard to wear cute tops.  but the neckline is low enough to wear scoop-neck tops that this brand might not work for you if you have a larger band size My colleague was disappointed with the thinner straps and lack of significant support features — but I had no issues." —Samantha Crozier Cons: Trickier to put on due to the long rows of hook-and-eye closures  If you're looking for a bralette that's anything but basic This gorgeous little number proves that lingerie doesn't have to be uncomfortable: it's wireless and offers plenty of support thanks to the longline cut and wide straps.  This is a great option for larger busts because both the straps and the band are adjustable making it easier to achieve the perfect fit it can take some time to fasten all the hook and eye closures in the back but I like that there are three rows so I can tighten or loosen the band as needed.  that really make this bralette stand out — like the scalloped edge tricolor lace and multi-dimensional floral design Racerback bras are especially well-suited to larger busts because the X-back design offers more support And this SKIMS bralette also features adjustable straps which are also key for support — making it a great option for all of us in the D+ cup club this one is made with buttery soft fabric that's so comfortable you might even forget you're wearing it I love that it comes in such a wide range of neutrals to accommodate every skin tone and since it's so lightweight and breathable you won't have to worry much about that dreaded underboob sweat The only caveat is that you can't adjust the band it's supremely difficult to find bralettes that fit just right because most of them don't cup in band/cup sizes the band fits perfectly but I'm spilling out of the cups the cups fit fine but the band is way too big to offer adequate support I was thrilled when I discovered that every size in this bralette (XXS-XXL) comes in a D/DD cup size option.  But that's not all there is to love about this bra: it feels super soft against the skin and features a four-row hook and eye closure for max adjustability but the floating cups are designed to mold to your unique bust size and shape I'm not the only one who's a big fan — because this best-selling bralette has garnered hundreds of five-star reviews Parfait is a lingerie line that specializes in accommodating larger bust sizes — I've owned several of their bras and the quality speaks for itself: all of them have lasted at least a couple of years.  Kaitlin Vachon, a bra fitting expert and founder of Bra Emporium says this is one of her favorite bralettes for large busts in part because it's available in traditional cup and band sizes She also notes that the wide band and thick adjustable straps offer ample support While it doesn't have any underwire in the cups it does feature some side boning for a bit more structure than many other bralettes It can easily be converted into a racerback style Cons: Thin material offers little nipple coverage I've been enamored with Negative Underwear for a while now — not only because of the minimalist designs but also because of the brand's focus on sustainability: they only use high-quality fabrics that are free of harmful chemicals Insider Reviews Executive Editor Sally Kaplan raved about this one "Bralettes like these are really hard to get right for larger chest sizes but this one worked incredibly well for my DDs (which are sometimes DDDs depending on the time of the month)," she said "Of all the bralettes I've tested in my many years covering women's basics for Insider Reviews It lifts them up without separating too much or squishing together — plus it's the perfect silhouette for V-neck sweaters or shirts." Cons: Can feel a little tight when you first put it on Did you know that a majority of a bra's support comes from the band I learned this during a bra fitting years ago and it really stuck with me — I'd always assumed it was the straps or the cups that were holding my girls up That's what made this Bombas bralette stick out for me: the ribbed band is wider than most lending ample support and lift without the wires It's also thoughtfully designed with a tighter knit in the center and around the sides for added support I often wear this bra to sleep because the fabric is super stretchy and breathable — but it's also great for lounging around the house or running casual errands Note that this bralette will feel pretty snug when you first put it on but it stretches out a teeny bit with time A search for ICE operations or ICE raids on Google gives back a staggering amount of returns While it’s true that ICE has been busy since Trump took office Google would have you believe that it did more than 300 busts on January 24 clicking through to the release itself often reveals a raid that took place years ago As first reported by The Guardian these old stories have been pushed to the top of Google search results mixing with the very real stories of recent ICE raids and operations across the country A closer look at the old ICE press releases shows that each got a small update around the 24th of January websites mark old stories all the time to indicate that they’re old Attached to the new banner is also a new bit of HTML on each old release “Updated: <time datetime=”2025-01-24T15:28:00-05:00″ title=”01/24/2025”>01/24/2025</time>,” which would make Google see the stories as recently changed Google weighs recency when it ranks stories in search results but it’s not the only factor nor the determining one it’s confusing to search for information about current ICE raids and see old press releases dated January 24 it looks like ICE is juicing public perception by updating old stories with new HTML Looking at the HTML for these stories in the Wayback Machine shows that they’ve been edited before in the same way I went back through the HTML of old press releases from other government websites Old releases from the Department of Defense haven’t been updated at all Old Department of Labor press releases do have a banner marked January 20 that indicates they may contain outdated information but there’s no timestamp in the HTML not even one from when they were first published and now they’re mixed in with the very real news of the current arrests and dated in Google search as if they happened four days after Trump’s inauguration ' + scriptOptions._localizedStrings.webview_notification_text + ' " + scriptOptions._localizedStrings.redirect_overlay_title + " " + scriptOptions._localizedStrings.redirect_overlay_text + " Michael Kopech
