Every rock-influenced guitarist learns the major pentatonic and minor pentatonic scales early on. The mileage you can get from those two scales alone is endless. Furthermore, it's not uncommon to substitute different pentatonic scales over the same harmony. One might throw in some A minor pentatonic licks over Dm, emphasizing E, the 9. I've heard many jazz players use and speak of superimposing pentatonic scales over more complex harmonies. But I've taken it beyond substitutions and superimpositions; I regard pentatonic scales as fundamental to my playing.
The three elements commonly used to understand music are chords, arpeggios, and scales. Unless you're dealing with really crazy or "world" music, the scales used are almost exclusively 7-note scales: modes of the major scale, melodic minor, harmonic minor. (The whole-tone, half-whole diminished, and whole-half diminished scales are the three exceptions. Even harmonic major, for the crazies, has seven notes.) Mastery of music created in this manner (most of Western music) requires the ability to translate quickly between chords, arpeggios, and scales.
Pentatonic scales sit between the (usually 4-note) arpeggios and (usually 7-note) scales above. I use them as much for visualization on the guitar fretboard as for note generation and theoretical analysis.
The Other Pentatonic Scale
The major and minor pentatonic scales are modes of each other, so I consider them as coming from the same source. For simplicity, I'll use the major pentatonic as the parent mode.
But there's another option. I wrote about it a long time ago: The Other Pentatonic Scale. I've taken to calling it the "dominant pentatonic scale", as that's how I use it most. Its notes are 1 2 3 5 b7, or over G7, G A B D F. There are many different ways to use this scale, but again for simplicity, I'll use the dominant pentatonic as the parent mode.
(Incidentally, the modes of the major pentatonic and dominant pentatonic are the only possible 5-note scales consisting of only major seconds and minor thirds. See How Many Scales Are There? if this fascinates you.)
In my last post, I discussed the 10 Types of Jazz Chords I consider when improvising in jazz. This is my primary focus in using pentatonic scales, to embellish and improvise upon established chord progressions. Below is a list of which pentatonic I assign by default to each of these 10 categories. More than one will fit in nearly every case, but I limit my starting point in each category to a single pentatonic scale.
- 6 (69, major triad)
maj pent on 1: 1 2 3 5 6
- maj7 (maj7b5, maj13#11, Lydian)
maj pent on 5: 2 3 5 6 7
- 7 (13#11, Lydian Dominant)
dom pent on 1: 1 2 3 5 b7
- 7sus (Mixolydian)
maj pent on b7: 1 2 4 5 b7
- 7b9 (13b9, natural 5, symmetrical dominant)
(No pentatonic fits. Use dim arp on 3.)
- 7alt (altered 5s and 9s, altered dominant)
dom pent on b5: b2 3 b5 b6 b7
- m7 (more ii than i, Dorian)
maj pent on b3: 1 b3 4 5 b7
- m6 (tonic minor i, melodic minor, m/maj7)
dom pent on 4: 1 b3 4 5 6
- m7b5 (m9b5, Locrian Natural 2)
dom pent on b6: 1 b3 b5 b6 b7
- dim7 (symmetrical diminished)
(No pentatonic fits. Use dim arp on 1.)
Now, don't jump to assume that basing your playing on pentatonic scales will make your playing sound forever pentatonic. Practicing arpeggios doesn't make your playing sound unnecessarily arpeggiated unless you don't progress beyond arpeggios. Likewise, pentatonic scales are just a starting point for achieving whatever sounds you want to.
The primary advantage on guitar is visualization. All of these pentatonic scales are most easily played two notes per string in any of the standard CAGED positions.
C Major Pentatonic:
C Dominant Pentatonic:
Any advanced guitarist with experience in rock or pop is as familiar with the five positions of major pentatonic as a fish is with water. Using them as a basis for understanding other chord types is a huge advantage, because you deal with all the old familiar shapes and fingerings. The dominant pentatonic, on the other hand, is far less common. The only reference I've heard about it being a useful scale in its own right is from a Robben Ford instructional video. He used a different mode, from the "m6" category above (1 b3 4 5 6), creating a Dorian sound over a m7 chord. Other than that, I've never heard of someone using this scale the way I do, so it's probably a minor hurdle to learn it as well as one knows the major pentatonic. But there are only five positions to memorize; it didn't take me long.
Using the specific pentatonic scales above, many standard jazz progressions take on a simple beauty. In a I-vi-ii-V progression, the prescribed pentatonics differ by only one note between consecutive chords. (See Pentatonics over Jazz Chords.) And alternative perspectives on harmony tend to reveal themselves a little easier. The pentatonics for Imaj7 and iiim7 are identical, so I-vi-ii-V and iii-vi-ii-V are treated the same. A progression like the following snippet from "Just Friends" doesn't immediately tell you that you can move the same lick down by half steps through all three measures.
Bbm7 Ebm7 | Fmaj7 | Abm7 Dbm7 |
But when you begin these three measures with Db major pentatonic, C major pentatonic, then B major pentatonic, you'd have to be asleep to avoid utilizing this chromatic descent in your improvising.
Finding Arpeggios and Scales
Pentatonic scales sit between arpeggios and the standard 7-note scales. You can use any pentatonic scale as a starting point for finding either the appropriate arpeggio or 7-note scale. Drop one note for a 4-note arpeggio, or add two notes for a 7-note scale. The key is knowing which notes to drop or add. For example, over C7alt, I start with the appropriate pentatonic: b2 3 b5 b6 b7 = Db E Gb Ab Bb (equivalent to Gb dom pent). I can drop Gb for a nice Bbm7b5 arpeggio, or I can drop Ab for a Gb7 arpeggio, or I can add C and Eb to complete the altered dominant scale.
In one of my first blog posts on From the Woodshed, I explained my theory of Constructing Jazz Scales from Chord Tones, in which I arrive at the generally agreed-upon "most consonant scale" for every chord type by adding the note a whole tone above the 3, 5, and 7 of any kind of 7th arpeggio. The same principle applies to every one of the pentatonic scales above (with one exception), even the two diminished arpeggios when no pentatonic works. An easier way to see it is to add the higher of the two skipped notes in any minor third. C dominant pentatonic (C D E G Bb) has minor thirds between E and G and between G and Bb. Therefore, add F# and A, and you get the "most consonant scale", Lydian Dominant. Try it with the others; it works every time (almost).
The one exception is the maj7 category. Using this rule adds #4 and #1 (instead of the root) to the scale. Sense can be made of this if you consider going "Double Lydian", another concept I discovered in the early days of this blog in the post Beyond Conventional Extensions. I encountered the name in a class at SDSU, and employed it in one of my compositions, The Kármán Line.
There are all sorts of tricks that can be used with pentatonic scales on the guitar. I feel like I discover a new one every few months.
I wrote about Pentatonic Sweeps a few years ago. I'll demonstrate it more completely one of these days once I'm halfway decent at it.
Since all of these are two notes per string, you can burn straight up and down by picking the first note and hammering-on or pulling-off the second. Your pick can run through all six strings like a sweep while your left hand does most of the work.
Any kind of sequence will work fundamentally the same way between different pentatonic scales, again because they're all two notes per string. The picking pattern is necessarily identical.
Mimic a Motif
Want to apply variation to a theme? No problem! Visualize your theme on the appropriate pentatonic scale, and apply it to a different area of the same scale or to a new scale if the harmony has changed. Did I mention "two notes per string"? They're all the same! There's a low note and a high note on the sixth string, a low note and a high note on the fifth string, etc. Take one idea and apply it in dozens of different ways without changing the underlying fingering.
Bebop Mixolydian adds the natural 7 to the standard Mixolydian scale, allowing a player to run straight through the scale with only chord tones on the down beats. Since every note in one of these pentatonic scales is a strong tone (if not a chord tone), you can do the same thing by adding in-between notes on the upbeats. They can be chromatic or derived from the appropriate 7-note scale, but you have many options beyond the 8-7-b7 descent of Bebop Mixolydian.
With pentatonics, I have two quick strategies to introduce spurts of outside sounds in my playing. Since the most magnetic of chromatic notes is a semitone below the target note, why not play a succession of these little leading tones? Momentarily switch to the pentatonic scale a half step below the one you're working with and back again. It twists the ear and snaps it back like a rubber band. I got the second trick from harmonizing bebop lines in an arranging course at SDSU. Take a moment to imply the V7alt of the chord you're playing over. Since I'm most familiar with the root mode of the dominant pentatonic, this translates to playing the dom pent a half step above the current root note. Make sure it resolves before the next chord comes up.
I've written a handful of articles on pentatonic scales in the past. It's an obsession. In addition to the content linked to above, check out Strange Uses for Pentatonic Scales, Pentatonic Slides, and SDSU Oral Exam: Analyzing My Own Solo.

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister
Steve Rotheram (Liverpool, Walton, Labour)
This is a momentous day. On behalf of the people of Liverpool, I thank the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition for their statements of support to the families, supporters and the people of Liverpool. Finally, we have the undeniable truth; a truth that we know now means that many innocent people could and should have been saved; a truth that unequivocally confirms that Liverpool fans were not the cause of the disaster and that drink was not a significant factor; a truth that both vindicates and validates a 23-year campaign for truth and justice. Despite the criticism levelled at us of a “self-pity city”, we were right that there was a deliberate attempt to shift the blame and instigate a cover-up at the very highest level. It is not about retribution—it is about responsibility.
Today, we have made history, but now we must change history, so may I ask the Prime Minister to ensure that the Government co-operate fully with any potential police investigations into the actions of senior police officers and civil servants involved in the 1989 cover-up? Will he personally write to the families of all 96 victims and apologise? Most importantly, I urge him to work with the families, MPs and the Attorney-General so that an application may be made to the High Court to quash the original unsound verdicts of accidental death and to order a fresh coroner’s inquest. Only then will justice be seen to be done.

Queens home invader caught on video using bank card
NEW YORK (WABC) -- The search is on for a pair of armed robbers who tied up a man in Queens, and police are hoping surveillance video of one of the men will lead to arrests.
Authorities say the robbers forced their way into the home in Ozone Park at gunpoint around 9:15 p.m. on October 8.
They then tied up the 57-year-old homeowner and stole jewelry and a bank card.
The suspects are identified only as two black men.
The video was captured at a fast food restaurant where the bank card was used.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS (8477).

Hefty Health Spending in Stimulus Bill
Law Signed by President Obama Includes Funds for Medicare, Research, and Insurance
The bill includes $10 billion to increase the research budget of the
National Institutes of Health (NIH).The Senate originally boosted that spending
by $6.5 billion, but the figure was moved higher in negotiations with the
House. That's on top of the agency's $29 billion budget, which remained flat
Medical and research groups praised the extra funding. "This bill will
reverse years of flat research funding, create economic growth, and allow
doctors and researchers to accelerate progress against cancer and other
diseases," Richard L. Schilsky, MD, president of the American Society of
Clinical Oncologists, says in a statement.
Many policy experts are calling for more studies pitting different drugs,
treatments, or care regimens directly against each other. The hope is that the
studies will tell policy makers, doctors, and insurance companies which
treatments actually work best and which are the most cost-effective.
Both parties have called for the research, and the bill devotes $1.1 billion
to comparative-effectiveness studies at NIH and other agencies.
James Weinstein, MD, a comparative-effectiveness researcher at the Dartmouth
Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice, says the health system is
full of examples of more expensive treatments that may not necessarily be
better. One example is thiazide diuretics, which research suggests are just as
effective as more expensive calcium channel blockers at lowering blood
pressure, preventing heart attacks, and avoiding hospitalizations.
"And if the drug was the same, shouldn't the nation think about using
the drug that's just as good for a third the price?" he tells WebMD.
The inclusion of the money in the stimulus package angered some Republicans,
who argued that the new law opens the door for government or private insurers
to refuse payment for certain kinds of care based on the studies. That could
lead to rationing of medical care if the government takes a bigger role in
national health policy as part of reform efforts.
Billions of dollars could be at stake if one drug or treatment is found to
be more cost-effective than another, Aaron says. He called the studies
potential "political dynamite."

Israeli forces on Tuesday stormed the Al-Qibali Mosque in Jerusalem’s flashpoint Al-Aqsa Mosque complex, according to a Palestinian official.
“At least ten Israeli officers stormed the Al-Qibali Mosque after assaulting three guards,” Firas al-Dibs, a spokesman for Jerusalem’s Jordan-run Religious Endowments Authority (tasked with overseeing East Jerusalem’s Muslim and Christian holy sites), said in a statement.
According to al-Dibs, Israeli police also arrested two Palestinians from inside the mosque compound’s Al-Rahmah Gate, which leads to the mosque of the same name.
In 2003, Israeli authorities closed the Bab al-Rahma Mosque. In 2017, an Israeli court renewed the closure order.
Tension has mounted in Jerusalem since February, when Israeli police briefly sealed the Al-Rahma Gate (located adjacent to the eastern wall of Jerusalem’s Old City) — a move that sparked angry Palestinian demonstrations at the time.
In the two months since, the Israeli authorities have banned scores of Palestinians — including religious officials — from entering the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex, which Muslims regard as the world’s third holiest site after Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia.
Israel occupied East Jerusalem, in which the Al-Aqsa is located, during the 1967 Arab-Israeli War. It annexed the territory in 1980 in a move never recognized by the international community.

Riggs, Ransom, art by Cassandra Jean. Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children: the Graphic Novel. Yen Press, 2015. $20.00. ISBN: 9780316245289. unp. Gr.5-12. P5 Q5
I wanted to like this book; I loved Rigg’s Miss Peregrine trilogy and generally enjoy graphic novels. However, by boiling down the text to the essence necessary to support the graphics, much of the charm and mystery is lost. The artist’s treatment of the characters (making Jacob look a bit manga-ish and giving Emma a slick, Gibson-girl look) makes them possess less dimension and interest and less likely to take on the rather serious mission of the book. At times, the artist’s choice of font size and background make the text difficult to read, as well. There is a half-hearted attempt to include historic photos, but they are so poorly integrated into the text frames that they distract, rather than illuminate as they do in the original novels. This perhaps might be a purchase to make for engaging reluctant readers, but it really lacks the uniqueness, character sketches, and cliff-hanging action that make this series so good.

Ross Brawn is adamant that Lewis Hamilton won't walk away from Formula One despite Mercedes' struggles this season as he'll be desperate to secure a record-breaking eighth world title.
Seven-time world champion Hamilton was defeated by Max Verstappen in controversial circumstances last season in the final race in Abu Dhabi and has returned for the 2022 season to take a seat in a car that has so far been unable to compete.
'Porpoising' has proven to be Mercedes' Achilles heel at the start of the new season, with the Silver Arrows unable to maintain pace with the likes of Red Bull and Ferrari at the front of the grid.
That has raised questions regarding Hamilton's long-term future in F1 and whether he'll look towards retirement but Brawn told the Evening Standard he doesn't see that happening. “These first few races he’s been looking for the solutions and, in doing so, he’s been ping-ponging around with different set-ups on the car, trying to reach the solutions," he said.
“He’s probably sacrificing the races in a way to try to get the information and data that the team can use to solve the problem. That’s the feedback I get from the team while George is following a more conventional path
"Lewis is trying to set out to solve the problem. That’s why I think people saying George has outqualified and outraced him in the last few races can’t see the bigger picture.
“Amid all the glitz and the glamour, you still have a very determined racing driver. He’s still supremely fit and capable. I’m pretty certain he wants to win that eighth championship and, if not this year as looks likely, then next year.
HAVE YOUR SAY! Will Lewis Hamilton win another world title before retiring? Comment below.
“I don’t know enough about what Mercedes’ issues are to know if they can be fixed with the concept of car they have or whether they have to review the concept. They’ll sort it out I’m sure… but it’s obviously very fragile what they’re dealing with.”
Mercedes, like the majority of the grid, have introduced new upgrades for the Barcelona Grand Prix and the early signs have been promising, with an apparent reduction on the amount of 'porpoising' shown.
Hamilton sits 68 points behind Championship leader Charles Leclerc and has finished behind teammate George Russell in each of the last four races.

Speech by Minister Jack Chambers TD at the annual Sean Moylan Fianna Fáil commemoration in Kiskeam, Co Cork
Published on: 05 November 2023
Is mór an onóir agus pribhléid dom a bheith anseo libh ar fad inniu agus onóir a thabhairt do shaol agus d’oidhreacht Sheáin Moylan.
Teachta Dála, Seanadóir, Aire, ceannaire míleata, fear feachtais, fear spóirt, fear céile agus athair, scríbhneoir ab ea é tráth ach go bunúsach thar aon ní eile agus é i mbarr a réime ba phoblachtánach Éireannach tiomanta agus bródúil é.
Tá mé ar an eolas faoin liosta iontach cainteoirí a labhair roimhe seo ó dhomhan na polaitíochta, an spóirt, na scoláirí agus ó go leor réimsí eile a thug an t-aitheasc seo le 66 bliain anuas.
It is a fantastic honour and privilege to join with you all today and to honour the life and legacy of Sean Moylan. A former TD, Senator, minister, military leader, campaigner, sportsman, husband and father, writer and most fundamentally of all, at his core, a proud and devoted Irish Republican.
As I stand here today, I am conscious of the impressive list of previous speakers from the world of politics, sports, academics, the media and many other fields who have given this address over the past 66 years. Taoisigh, presidents, GAA All Stars, - that’s a tough act to follow.
I appreciate this opportunity to share my own perspectives on the life of Sean Moylan, the important legacy he left behind and how the example set by his generation can continue to inspire us all still in 2023.
I would like to acknowledge my political colleagues present today____________________________
I would also like to thank my Parliamentary Party colleague Michael Moynihan for the invitation to address you.
This is not my first visit to Kiskeam and on every occasion I have been here I have been taken by the warmth, character and rich history of the village and community.
I didn’t think it would be possible the place could ever live up to the hype Michael often spoke about over the years. He is a one man tourism agency for Cork North West. But in fact, I can safely say it merits all the praise - and more.
As Michael very, very occasionally reminds me, Kiskeam took on and defeated the empire.
As is recalled in the famous book which I was presented with on my last visit here:
“That place was a republic during the whole trouble and we would never have succeeded but for the people who lived in it. They must have been the best in Ireland. They had a tremendous spirit and I haven’t heard of any place in Ireland which had a spirit comparable to the one around here.”
That was the spirit from which Sean Moylan emanated and flourished. It's also clear to me here that that spirit lives on and is on show here today - and every year you gather.
Events like this one don’t just happen. It takes time, dedication and effort from committed volunteers who believe in a common goal and a shared cause.
Everyone involved in organising this event, and everyone attending, should be very proud of the contribution you make to supporting your community and honouring your history.
You will all be very well versed in Sean’s biography – from his early formative years in the Gaelic League and the GAA; to joining the Volunteers and putting his life on the line, alongside his comrades, in the struggle for Irish independence; and his career in politics as a TD, Senator and Minister.
In my research and studying for today I looked back on previous speeches delivered here. I was struck by how Sean Moylan’s accolades and legacy inspire different responses to those who experience them.
The Cork hurling great Sean Og O’Hailpin spoke of growing up on the far side of the world being raised on stories and songs of Sean’s heroics from his father in Sydney on St Patrick’s Day.
My Fianna Fáil party colleague Lisa Chambers recognised his devotion to public service. Tomás O’Sé made the case that for Sean, pride in your country begins with pride in your community.
And Michael himself observed here last year, Sean’s commitment to community solidarity as the bedrock of our democracy.
For me, Sean demonstrated his republican values through his actions. He was a leader on the field of battle but he was also a leader in his ideals.
In my research I noted that in 1921, when he was the same age I am now, he became a TD for the first time. He achieved that significant feat while being a prisoner in Spike Island.
Overcoming adversity is a common theme which pervades Sean’s life and career. As well as his doggedness, his determination and his conviction to doing the right thing.
He was noted for his compassion and the care he took of his men ensuring escape routes after ambushes, never losing a man in battle and seeking out sympathetic aid for men under his command.
For all these reasons and more, Sean had the complete and unwavering support of his comrades as well as those who understood all he had committed to the cause of Irish freedom.
But if Sean’s legacy shows us anything, it is that the real test of strength and character comes when the chips are down.
It is easy to do the right thing when things are going well. Less so in darker times, like the ones Sean and his comrades endured for so long – on the run and away from family; sleeping rough in barns on cold nights; the pain of losing comrades in battle.
As we reflect today on the bravery those men and women showed 100 years on, as well as the bitter Civil War that followed, we think of the darkness that is cast from the long shadow of war and conflict.
Of course the Rebel county knows this better than anywhere. As part of the decade of centenaries in recent years we have commemorated events like the burning of Cork and the death of Terence MacSwiney.
For so long, it must have seemed that the darkness was never ending, that the shadow would cover our nation eternally.
And as we look at conflict around the world today, in Ukraine and Gaza particularly, it is easy to feel that same sense of hopelessness.
To fear that the light will never return.
But Ireland’s story is one of hope; a story of reconciliation; and ultimately a story of peace.
This peace was hard earned and came about because of the bravery and courage of Sean Moylan and the men and women of his generation.
A generation who resisted through every means possible; a generation who moved arms and gathered intelligence; a generation who confounded British oppression.
And then a generation who knew when it was time to pursue democratic principles in the interests of all.
Let us all hope now that today we possess that same courage and that the darkness of the long shadow is again replaced with the light of a brighter future filled with hope and possibilities.
For my part, reading about Sean’s exploits and motivation prompts me to reflect on my own republicanism.
Another Sean, former Taoiseach Lemass, who was of course a contemporary of Moylan’s, left an indelible mark on this country – and on my own sense of republicanism.
I understand Lemass is the only former Fianna Fáil Taoiseach not to address this gathering so I think it appropriate to quote him today.
Lemass said, “Patriotism, as I understand it, is a combination of love of country, pride in its history, traditions and culture, and a determination to add to its prestige and achievements”.
Lemass was forward thinking, open minded, progressive and knew the key to building a successful, independent state was through developing an Ireland which was open, enterprising and ambitious.
It’s clear to me Seán Moylan shared this view and knew better than anyone, in his role as Minister for Education, the importance of education in transforming Ireland’s fortunes and economic prosperity.
Sean was a reforming minister and placed a huge emphasis on expanding vocational education in secondary schools.
He opened 129 vocational schools in one year alone. He even offered up his own house to become such a centre for learning. In doing so he was emblematic of a generation who recognised that the actions they took would not bring immediate benefits but would bear fruit in the decades to come.
That vision is borne out by the highly skilled, highly educated workforce we have today that is the envy of the world.
Sean set the wheels in motion for the transformation that would change Ireland radically. He lay the foundations of our future prosperity for others to erect the walls and apply the paint.
Sean knew by failing to educate our children we were dooming our future generations to a lifetime of deprivation.
He saw education as the passport to opportunity.
That same desire to create a country for all with opportunities for the many not the few is ultimately what drove and inspired the cause for Irish independence a century ago.
It’s also what drove Lemass, Moylan and their generation to modernise Ireland half a century ago.
And in my view it is exactly what should drive and motivate us in the Fianna Fail party, and all in our country today in 2023.
I am very clear about this vision.
It is one where everyone has the chance to fulfil their potential and their ambition – young families looking to own their home; the student setting out on their journey of discovery; those with different abilities flourishing in our society; the displaced people from overseas settling down here; and the older generations finding fulfilment here.
A country where everyone can contribute to our national success, and where everyone’s contribution to a healthy society, safe communities and a strong economy is properly rewarded.
A country of aspiration and ambition and opportunity for all.
A country which embraces and brings forward the open, inclusive republicanism which was embodied by Lemass and Moylan and all those who fought, and who died, and who succeeded alongside them.
A country born out of ideology; shaped by the experience of overcoming conflict and oppression; and now firmly focused on delivering for all of our people.
As a Minister, as an elected representative and as a proud republican, I look back at what was achieved by Sean Moylan’s generation as the embodiment of that old phrase- A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they shall never sit.
The message to all of us currently, those involved in politics and not, is of the need to continue on that legacy; to pick up the mantel that has been laid down by those who have gone before us; to do what must be done so that the next generation can benefit from the seeds that we plant today.
Go raibh mile maith agaibh go leor.

Although surgical procedures are available; opting for alternative medicine to facilitate hair growth is another choice. Capsicum is one such “natural remedy,” suggested by Herbs for Hair Loss.
The American Cancer Society describes capsicum as a group of plants belonging to the Solanaceae family. “Capsaicin is the most-studied active ingredient in the plant.” Common varieties include the cayenne, jalapeno and other hot peppers.
According to Herbs for Hair Loss, capsicum, or the red pepper, “draws blood to the scalp because of irritation. It is also said to help encourage the release of histamines that stimulate hair re-growth.”
Best Hair Loss considers capsicum a “natural hair growth stimulator.” Cover and simmer red peppers in warm water for 10 minutes. Allow to cool. Strain, put it in a bottle and use this “hair growth tonic” to cure hair loss.
Capsicum is available in tea, tonic and capsule form in all leading health stores.
According to the American Cancer Society, capsaicin is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Capsaicin gels, creams and ointments are safe to use on skin. Consumption of cayenne pepper is considered harmless for those “not allergic to peppers.”

Nothing excites riders more than the continuous clicking noise while riding down the street. Honestly, most people don’t know what attracts them to a loud BMX hub, but the sound is gorgeous.
So how do you make your BMX hub louder? This article will help you make your BX hub louder for a memorable riding experience.
Table of Contents
Why would one want to make a BMX hub louder?
There are several reasons why riders prefer loud BMX hubs. Surprisingly, some people get loud hubs by chance, while for others, it’s by choice. Basically, most high-end freewheels are much louder than entry-level ones. So, cyclists looking for quality cassettes may end up with loud hubs by chance.
However, there are riders who install loud hubs by chance. For instance, riders who ride through trails and parks with pedestrians love loud freehubs. Pedestrians notice the hub’s buzz and step out of the way without using the ring bells.
Additionally, some cyclists install loud hubs for bling. In fact, some riders degrease their rear bike hubs to get the loud buzz. Unfortunately, degreasing the hubs can shorten the lifespan of your freewheel. Therefore, to keep the freehub fully lubricated, use lighter grease to protect the hub’s crucial parts and repel moisture.
Other benefits that come with using free hubs include:
- Faster engagement on resuming pedaling
- When cycling in a paceline or a pack, a loud freewheel signals the rider behind you when you’re coasting.
How to make your BMX hub louder
There are many ways you can use to make your hub loud. If you don’t mind getting your hands dirty and removing your hub, then cleaning out the hub greases will increase the noise the hub will make when the wheel is rotating. Cleaning the whole hub, wiping all the grease, and replacing it with thinner grease will also function the same as removing some.
If removing some grease doesn’t make your hub louder, then you can disconnect the hub and slightly bend the springs under the pawls. However, doing this can break your hub, but if done carefully, it can create more pawl tension and produce more noise when you place it back in position.
If you’re unsure about the mechanics and disconnecting the hub, you may have no chance of making your hub louder apart from investing in a newer hub.
How to take your bike hub apart
If you want to make your bike hub louder, you need to have some mechanical understanding. Although you don’t need to be a top mechanic to make your hubs loud, you need a decent toolkit and some experience for the best outcome.
In order to access the part of your hub that increases your cassette hub noise, start by removing the bike wheel. If your hub is separate from the wheel, this will be a great advantage.
Start by taking off the driver, the part with the chainring. Most BMX hubs are similar, and you only need to unscrew the bolt on the drive side of the hub. After removing the driver, you will have access to the pawls, bearings, and springs so you can make your hub louder.
How do Bike Hubs Work?
Front hubs are mainly designed to help the spin the wheel and don’t have an advanced design. BMX hubs and mountain bike hubs come with some differences between them. All rear bike hubs are equipped with a freewheel on the drive side of the hub. It usually has a thin cylindrical shape where the chainring or cassette is placed. This is where the main difference between a mountain bike and BMX hubs comes in.
With an MTB hub, you can replace the cassette easily, but it’s harder to replace the rear chainring in BMX hubs. The spring-loaded pawls that produce the clicking sound are found inside this freewheel.
When coasting the BMX bike, the pawls will flex over each groove and allow the hub to keep moving. When pedaling, the chainring causes the pawls to spin in the opposite direction, thus engaging the pawls into the grooves. The more grooves and pawls on the hub, the faster the engagement.
Are all good hubs loud?
No, not all high-quality hubs are loud. Some high-end hubs are quiet on purpose. These silent hubs are ideal for riders who like concentrating on the ride without noise from their coasting freewheels.
If you like your BMX hub loud, you need to invest in a bike with high-end rear hubs. Although you can degrease your bike’s hub to make it loud, it can cause rapid wearing of the freewheel. Therefore, the best way to make your BMX hub louder is by investing in a new hub that will suit your riding style.


Dehradun : Under the direction of Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, the Uttarakhand cabinet recently finished and approved thirty important proposals that will have a major impact on many areas and sectors of the state. This historic meeting outlined important choices that will influence Uttarakhand’s future.
Modernizing Local Governments and Building Infrastructure
The promotion of Muniki Reti Dhalwala from Category 2 to Category 1 in the municipal council hierarchy was one of the meeting’s key decisions. This region is extremely important as a booming tourism destination, well-known for its appeal in adventure sports and yoga. By adding improved amenities including parking, street lights, paved drains, sewer lines, roads, cleanliness, and restrooms, the upgrade hopes to relieve some of the strain and improve the experience for both residents and tourists. The move to Category 1 will lead to more funding, which will enable the ADB project’s extensive infrastructure upgrades, which will include UPCL’s renovation of the power house.
Redesigning Posts for Accountants and Assistant Accountants to Provide Maximum Usability
The streamlining of the roles of Assistant Accountant and Accountant was a significant restructure within the Rural Development Department. With 110 Accountant posts and 240 Assistant Accountant posts created within the authorized 350 positions, this strategic action aims to guarantee a healthy ratio between direct recruiting and promoting positions. The goal of this optimization is to improve the department’s operational efficiency and streamline the hiring process.
The Rajaji Tiger Reserve Conservation Foundation was established
The Rajaji Tiger Reserve Conservation Foundation was established with a goal similar to that of the Corbett Tiger Foundation, which was a noteworthy accomplishment. The goal of this project is to hasten the Rajaji Tiger Reserve’s surrounding area’s ecological, economic, social, and cultural development. Strengthening environmental preservation, providing alternative livelihood possibilities for local populations, reducing conflicts between humans and wildlife, and improving staff wellbeing inside the Reserve are among the foundation’s main goals.
Different Resolutions Covering Various Sectors
The summit produced a wide range of outcomes that benefited numerous sectors. Notably, the District Magistrate was given charge of arrangements for livestock that were in need of assistance. Other decisions included changing positions in the finance department, reforming education to permit some academic advancements after completing an ITI, providing subsidies for solar water heater installations, placing yoga instructors in schools, and forming Nagar Panchayats in key areas.
Plans for Strategic Improvements in Environment and Infrastructure
The approval by the Cabinet to construct check dams on all state rivers, create a master plan for this under the ‘Catch the Rain Scheme’, and create herbal schemes targeted at producing 1600 varieties of herbs in 11 districts over the following ten years were crucial in laying the groundwork for extensive environmental and infrastructural development.
Proactive Adjustments and All-Inclusive Guidelines
The Old Pension and New Pension Schemes, firefighting laws, prisoner handbook, financial services standards, and disaster management conference financing are only a few examples of the government’s commitment to comprehensive policy enhancement.
Improved Travel and Emergency Readiness
The Tourism Department has initiated a program to improve the use of historic bridges along travel routes by offering parking and restrooms. Three bridges have been picked for the first phase of the program. Significant funding has also been set aside for the catastrophe Management Conference, demonstrating the government’s commitment to strong catastrophe preparedness.
Cabinet’s Extensive Resolutions
The decisions made during the Uttarakhand cabinet meeting are noteworthy for their diversity and progressiveness, covering a broad range of reforms, developments, and improvements in several sectors. These important proposals represent the government’s commitment to comprehensive improvement and will influence the state’s socioeconomic, infrastructure, and environmental landscape.
This cabinet meeting’s diverse decisions show an unbroken commitment to supporting holistic development, striking a balance between administrative systems, and securing Uttarakhand’s standing as a region of sustainable growth and advancement.

The Saranac Laboratory
Take a look into the past with a tour of The Saranac Laboratory, the nation's first tuberculosis research laboratory. This laboratory, opened by Dr. Edward Livingston Trudeau in 1894, was of major importance to both the study of tuberculosis and the history of Saranac Lake. The laboratory is now open to the public for viewing and operates under Historic Saranac Lake, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the history of Saranac Lake. Be sure to tour the main laboratory and learn about Saranac Lake's unique history as a worldwide center for tuberculosis research and patient care, and visit the "Medical Marvels Exhibit" to see artifacts from Ripley's Believe it or Not!. The museum is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday to Friday. Admission is $5 and children are free.
Saranac Lake Farmers' Markets
For those looking to treat their palate to the flavors of summertime in the Adirondacks, look no further than the Saranac Lake local food scene. Two Farmers' Markets highlight the bounty of the area. The Adirondack Farmers' Market Cooperative takes place each Tuesday from May 10 to Sept. 27. It is located in the Lake Flour Bakery parking lot, and it is "a "producer only" cooperative with an allowance of 30 percent from other local producers to round out our product offerings. Farmers and crafters are from small, family-operated farms or small home-based artisans producing hand-crafted items. The other farmers' market is the Saranac Lake Village Farmers' Market, which runs every Saturday from June 4- Oct. 8. The vendors feature local products such as cheese, vegetables, and baked goods.
Riding a train becomes so passe once you experience the Rail Explorers, an adventure company based in Saranac Lake. This company started in 2015 after three years of planning and preparation. Rail tours consist of getting people on four wheel bikes attached to the actual Adirondack Scenic railroad and having them pedal their way through the beauty the region has to offer. The bikes come in two and four seat options and run from Utica to Lake Placid, and the company is partnering with the Adirondack Scenic Railroads to restore and maintain corridors of rail lines. This is a fun, beautiful and eco-friendly (it's human powered) way to explore the Adirondacks. The Saranac Lake section of the tour runs between the train station in downtown Saranac Lake and Lake Clear. The tours close for the winter, but resume this June 18. Don't miss out!

The Adirondack Carousel
The Adirondack Carousel, open Saturdays and Sundays 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., is fun for the whole family. Don't think this is an ordinary carousel, though. In 2001, Karen Loffler, a local Saranac Lake woodcarver, and a group of fellow local woodcarvers, set out in a tireless mission to create a woodland creature themed carousel that kids of any age could enjoy. In 2006, the carousel found its permanent home in the historic William Morris Park, located just outside of the downtown area. The doors to this fully housed carousel opened in 2012. This is a magnificent and locally created piece of art. The rides cost $2.50 each, $5 for three rides, or $10 for seven rides. The entire carousel is indoors and is wheelchair friendly. A unique work of art that is truly an Adirondack treasure.

APP Responds to Biden’s State of the Union: “This is a clarifying moment…”
During his State of the Union address tonight, President Biden once again called for passage of the Equality Act and attacked state laws defending women’s sports and protecting children from sexualization:
“And for our LGBTQ+ Americans, let’s finally get the bipartisan Equality Act to my desk. The onslaught of state laws targeting transgender Americans and their families is wrong.”
In response, Terry Schilling, president of American Principles Project (APP), released the following statement:
“Even as his disapproval numbers tumble to new lows, Joe Biden continues to double down on his commitment to a radical ideology which voters clearly reject.
“Americans have watched with disbelief as biological males dominate women’s sporting events. Families have been shocked to discover their young children in public schools are being coached into believing they can change their sex and encouraged to make life-altering medical decisions before they can even understand the consequences. It should be no surprise that more state lawmakers are acting to address these obvious wrongs.
“Yet, as we head into a critical election, Biden has once again thrown his support behind legislation which would destroy girls’ sports nationwide and push even more children down the path of sterilizing drugs and bodily mutilation. And he has expressed only scorn for anyone who disagrees.
“This is a clarifying moment, and I am grateful that Biden and Democrats have spelled out where they stand. Soon, American families will have the opportunity to make their views known as well, and I expect it will not be a pleasant result for the president.”
To schedule an engagement with American Principles Project, contact Paul Dupont at (o) 202-503-2010 or firstname.lastname@example.org.
