  1. Born this day in 1909 Leo Fender. Founder of Fender Musical Instruments. Leo Fender's first joint patent was filed in September 1944 alongside partner Clayton Orr "Doc" Kauffman. They patented an electric lap steel guitar featuring a string-through-body pickup design that Leo Fender had previously developed. This collaboration led to the creation of the K&F Manufacturing Corporation and, later, the Fender electric instrument legacy.

    In 1950 the company released the Esquire, a thin body, fast neck electric that wouldn't feedback when played at volume of dance halls. Adding a second pick-up in '51 we had the Broadcaster which became the Telecaster. Still one of the most popular electric guitars for any genre.

    The sounds we hear today might be very different if not for Leo Fender.

  2. Design boss #GerryMcGovern has been kicked out of #Jaguar #LandRover. He always seemed like a bit of a pretentious prick so not really sad to see him go, but I do wonder what is next for #JLR.

    Need I say the sounds we hear today might be very different if not for Leo Fender. What does a Fender Stratocaster sound like when played through a Fender Champ amp? Listen to Clapton on "Layla".

  4. HT @Lilith111 - Judge overturns right-of-way for #CopperWorld across #SantaRita Experimental Range

    Sep 19, 2024
    by Paul Ingram

    "A judge in Maricopa County ruled that state officials violated open meeting law when it approved the value of a right-of-way for the Copper World mine project, located 35 miles southeast of #Tucson in the #SantaRitaMountains.

    "Owned by the Toronto-based Hudbay Inc., Copper World has faced a barrage of criticisms and legal challenges from #environmental groups, who have argued the open pit mine would seriously affect the Santa Ritas and the #SantaCruzRiver. Proponents have argued the mine's $1.7 billion investment will generate nearly $250 million in property taxes, and create more than 400 direct jobs and up to 3,000 indirect jobs in #arizona
    [...]

    "#Hudbay originally sought to build the #RosemontMine, planning a half-mile deep pit across nearly 2,500 acres in the Santa Rita Mountains. However that effort faced fierce opposition from environmental groups who argued the mine and its tailings in the #CoronadoNationalForest would bury thousands of acres within the range of the endangered northern #jaguar and the #ocelot, as well as nearly a dozen other #endangered and critical plants and animals."
