Mud cakes and smiles at cancer tea party

After a busy morning sifting through dirt and getting their hands into a gooey mud mixture, the inventive four-year-olds carefully poured their mud batter into patty pans and tins in preparation for the morning tea.
Guests were welcomed at the gate and gold coin donations were carefully collected and added to a toy cash register.
Tiny lolly tea cups - made with iced biscuit saucer, a marshmallow cup and lifesaver handle - completed a perfect morning tea at the Berri Community Preschool.
The event was one of 79 to be hosted in the Riverland for the Cancer Council of SA's annual fundraiser.
Other groups to host fundraising events include local schools, businesses, health services and volunteer organisations.
Last year an impressive $5050 was raised by the Barmera Lake Bonney Quilters while Berri Estates Winery raised $1030, the Berri Church of Christ raised $470 and the Loxton Bowling Club raised $451.
Money raised for Australia's Biggest Morning Tea supports research into cancer treatments and prevention.
"Last year more than 3400 South Australians registered for Australia's Biggest Morning Tea, together raising a record-breaking $902,765," Cancer Council SA chief executive Brenda Wilson said.
"With one in two Australians diagnosed with cancer, every cup counts in the fight against cancer.
"Everyone is affected by cancer and by hosting a morning tea you help Cancer Council SA continue to make a difference in South Australia.
"This year's 'seasonal challenge' also gives us the opportunity to help cut our cancer risk and get creative with our morning teas."
The official date for Australia's Biggest Morning Tea this year is Thursday, May 24, but events can be hosted until the end of June.

Music Scenes: Reflections on Performance From the birth of recorded popular music to the emergence of auto-tune and other digital audio tools, anxieties over the "death" of live performance have run rampant. Most recently, Beyonce's admission to singing along to a pre-recorded track at President Obama's inauguration led one writer at The Telegraph to state, "Miming will be the death of live music performance… singers who lip-sync during concerts insult their audience and undermine their peers." Indeed, entire genres of music—from classical to hip-hop—are perceived to literally live and die based on the vibrancy of their live performance scenes. Academics have been equally suspicious of "threats" to live performance, questioning the validity of writing about an art form whose public reception is often experienced in such an ephemeral and fleeting manner. The emergence of interdisciplinary fields and methods such as Sound Studies, Performance Studies, and Sensory Ethnography attest to these concerns. As Carolyn Abbate asks in her controversial article "Music—Drastic or Gnostic": "Where are material presence and carnality, where has live performance gone, when it produced our love for music to begin with?" Yet, despite these fears, many musicians continue to use public performance as a primary creative and financial outlet, audiences continue to attend sold out shows and festivals, and industries continue to thrive on the live music market. The IASPM-US website seeks 1,000-1,500 word essays, performance reviews, or alternative multimedia submissions (interactive web projects, podcasts, short video documentaries or presentations, etc.), presenting and reflecting on the public performance of popular music. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
- Immediacy, Temporality, and/or Affect in Performance
- Technology, "Liveness," Mediation (virtual performance, technologies on stage)
- The Performing Body (carnality, sensuality)
- Performance and Identity
- Ethnographies of Performers and their Publics
- Pedagogy and Performance Practice
No matter the submission format or topic, including both text and multimedia (audio or video footage, SoundCloud or YouTube examples, images) is highly encouraged. Deadline for proposals is 22 May 2013. Please submit drafts and multimedia files as attachments to Mike D'Errico at firstname.lastname@example.com. Accepted submissions will appear on the IASPM-US website during June 2013.

Austin's and Brooke's wedding was an intimate celebration, size-wise, but you'd never have known given the energy of their guests! The bride and groom are avid world travelers, and had guests from as far away as Australia. Everyone seemed to have an incredible time, myself included -- any wedding where I get to mix Reel Big Fish and Dropkick Murphys with Rihanna and Gnarls Barkley is guaranteed to be amazing!
The wedding was held at the incomparable Woodend Sanctuary in Chevy Chase, Maryland, where Rebecca Robinson was fantastic to work with as always. Kate Brannack and Occasions Caterers did a wonderful job on the food, and I met a new photographer for the first time, Chris Zimmer with Roman Grinev Photography. All in all, this wedding was a blast and I am so glad to have been there!

Nintendo Switch Stock News: Units Expected To Be Available Again Via GameStop on March 22
The Nintendo Switch has received plenty of support from folks interested to learn more about its own take on game presentation, which has led to units being hard to come by. However, it appears there is good news for the people who are still looking to get this new gaming platform.
GameStop is reportedly set to replenish its stock of Switch units, and gamers who want to get their hands on these may want to visit their local stores this week.
According to a recent report from GameSpot, more units of the latest Nintendo gaming platform could be made available in stores on March 22.
Once again though, people who are planning to purchase the Switch will need to act quickly since the units are not expected to stay on store shelves for long, given how high the demand currently is for it.
Furthermore, the report adds that units of the Nintendo Switch cannot be reserved ahead of time, again due to the limited supply, so prospective buyers will really need to make it to stores as soon as they can.
Following this next restock, it is unclear when units of the gaming platform may again be made available should the ones in stores again be sold out.
For those gamers out there who want to get the Switch but will likely be unable to get one in time once they are back inside GameStop stores, they will be glad to know that more units are reportedly set to be produced over the next year.
In a recent report, The Wall Street Journal revealed that "Nintendo Co. has decided to at least double its planned production of the Switch console in the year ending March 2018."
Whether that directly translates to more units of the console making their way to stores sooner rather than later still remains to be seen, however, though gamers will likely be paying close attention to what happens next.
More news about the Nintendo Switch should be made available in the near future.

Lux is truly an amazing champion. She can deal massive amounts of burst damage at a relatively safe range, and yet control the enemies and save her allies at the same time. However, people don't always see her as an ideal AP mid, or perhaps thinks she'll be better off bottom supporting. They're wrong. If you can aim your spells carefully and learn to take advantage of your insane range, you can make Lux into a force to be reckoned with.

SAN JOSE, CA –On October 19, volunteers from Adobe and SAP gathered at the Santa Clara County Office of Education (SCCOE) Seven Trees Educational Center for a Playground Day Celebration in conjunction with KaBOOM! In eight hours, the volunteers built a playground that will serve students with special needs.
Thanks to everyone's effort, community awareness was raised about the importance of play and of civic activism. The SCCOE serves more than a thousand students with special needs at 64 sites across the county.
"This playground is more than a playground, it's a fun-maker, it's a muscle builder, and it's a brain expander, so we're really thrilled to be bringing that power to kids in partnership with Seven Trees, Adobe, and SAP," said Jacob Stachler, project manager at KaBOOM!, which coordinated the one-day build.
The Department of Media & Communications has produced this video commemorating the event. In addition, you can view the entire day, from start to finish, on this time-lapse video.

The government of Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra announced earlier today (February 14) that an IED detonation occurred, obviously accidentally, at a rented home in the Ekami (Soi 71) section of the capital (on the outskirts of Central Bangkok), as three suspects attempted to flee the scene, one of whom was critically injured.
Government spokeswoman Thitima Chaisang said one of the suspects was critically injured when the IED detonated. She indicated that the two other suspects are also of Iranian descent.
The suspect injured in the detonation has been sent to a local hospital ER, while police are searching for the other two suspects. Four other bystanders have also been injured as a result of the suspects hurling M-26 grenades to facilitate their escape.
Although there may or may not be a connection to yesterday's (February 13) attacks on Israeli diplomats in India and Georgia, it should be noted that the incident occurred roughly a month after the US Embassy warned US citizens of a terrorist attack in Bangkok.
COMMENT: Last month, Bangkok police charged a Swedish-Lebanese national linked to Hezbollah with possessing illegal substances after detaining him in connection with a plan to attack sites frequented by Americans and Israelis.
It is also noteworthy to point out that today's attack follows a warning by the US Embassy in Bangkok warning its citizens of a terrorist attack in the Thai capital.
Police also found C-4 explosives and remote control detonation devices in the house the three suspects described above were renting.
There is a lesson to be learned from all of the facts noted above: Terror threats take time to germinate. Unfortunately, in our fast-paced world, if a terrorist warning is announced, and nothing happens in a matter of days, many people discount it as bogus.
Yet, the time it takes for a threat to be released to the public and executed can often be weeks, if not months.
Particularly with Muslim terrorism in Thailand's south having a traceable history of violence, particularly in recent years, it is entirely possible that the Iranian suspects in Bangkok were relying on material and logistical support from the south.
Although I could talk for hours about the terrorist threat in the south, it should be emphasized that the provinces of Satun, Songkhla, Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat are all high-risk areas, particularly for Thai Buddhists and foreigners.
Collectively, Islamic fundamentalism is nurtured in these provinces where some four million Muslims are seeking independence from Bangkok.

Judge orders DNA testing for man executed in 2000
Published 5:30 am, Tuesday, June 15, 2010
Claude "Butch" Jones' last request before his execution just before Christmas 10 years ago was an emotional telephone call to his son in Houston who had never known his father until they were reunited on death row.
The son, Duane Jones, now 49, remembers pointedly asking his father whether he had robbed and murdered the liquor store owner in San Jacinto County.
"I told him he had nothing to lose by telling the truth now," Duane Jones said. "But my father continued to remain adamant that he didn't do it."
While the younger Jones, an associate engineer, thought his father was being truthful, he could never be certain — but now that may change.
Visiting Judge Paul C. Murphy this week ordered testing of a strand of hair from Claude Jones' case that death penalty opponents believe might provide the first DNA proof that an innocent man was executed.
Murphy issued a summary judgment in favor of the New York-based Innocence Project and The Texas Observer, an Austin newsmagazine, which three years ago petitioned to do mitochondrial DNA testing on a hair fragment recovered from the counter of Zell's liquor store in Point Blank, about 65 miles north of Houston.
San Jacinto District Attorney Bill Burnett, who had assisted in the prosecution and died this month from pancreatic cancer, blocked the hair's release. He argued state law provided no legal avenue for him to relinquish the 1-inch strand after Claude Jones' death.
Neither Burnett's attorney, David Walker, nor the first assistant, Jonathan Petix, who has temporarily replaced Burnett, could be reached for comment on whether they will appeal.
Meanwhile, the younger Jones remains guardedly optimistic.
"It would mean a lot to me to know the truth, but it is really more important or paramount that the justice system know the truth," he said. "If our state is going to be the execution capital of the free world, then it needs to be above reproach."
In 2000, Claude Jones was the 40th and last person executed in Texas that year, which set a national record.
Duane Jones' does not see himself as a so-called bleeding-heart liberal opposed to the death penalty, as his own family knows what it's like to be a crime victim. He survived a bullet to the back of his head during a robbery in 1986, and his wife was the target of a home invasion just two months ago.
When a deputy sheriff located him and told him his father, a career criminal he thought was dead, was alive on death row and wanted to see him, he felt conflicted but decided to see his father.
Duane Jones visited him a half dozen times before the execution, during which he exchanged commissary money for his father's ink drawings depicting his Indian heritage.
During the visits, his father admitted to a sordid past as an alcoholic and drug user. From age 19 until his execution at age 60, he'd spent most of his life behind bars. He had a previous murder conviction, in which he poured gasoline on an inmate and then set him on fire.
But he persistently denied killing the liquor store owner, Allen Hilzendager, who was shot once in the back and then twice more when he turned around.
Similar characteristics
The hair fragment, left in the evidence room since his 1989 trial, was the only physical evidence connecting Claude Jones to the crime scene. A Texas Department of Public Safety expert could testify then only that a cursory microscope examination indicated the strand "matched" the suspect's hair. The expert could not exclude many others whose hair could have the same characteristics.
The DNA testing being proposed now had not been developed before the trial.
Barry Scheck, Innocence Project's co-director, said the DNA testing could do one of three things:
• It could prove Claude Jones guilt if he's a match, similar to the post-execution DNA testing done on the 1981 rape-murder case involving the Virginia coal miner Roger Coleman.
• It could exonerate him if the hair matches his co-defendant, Kerry Dixon Jr., who was supposed to have remained in the get-away truck while the elder Jones entered the liquor store.
• If the hair matches neither of them, then the state did not have sufficient evidence to prove Claude Jones' guilt, Scheck said.
A key witness during the trial, Timothy Jordan, has recently recanted his testimony that Claude Jones had confessed being the triggerman to him. Jordan now says Dixon told him that Claude Jones did it. Dixon, who has made no police statements, is currently serving a life sentence for his part.
Test called propaganda
But Walker has contended DNA testing cannot provide conclusive proof of Claude Jones' innocence, only propaganda for those opposing the death penalty. He notes two other witnesses described seeing a pot-bellied, middle-aged man wearing clothing like Claude Jones' enter the store, although neither could positively identify him.
Petix has also said releasing the hair could open a "floodgate" of requests for things such as O.J. Simpson's gloves. They contended state law only allows a defendant to request DNA testing.
Their opponents, however, believe the court saw "grim irony" in the fact that Claude Jones' execution prevents him from making the request.

Give Credit where Credit is Due: Tracing Value Added in Global Production Chains
This paper presents a new conceptual framework to measure sources of value-added trade by country in global production networks. With a parsimonious decomposition of gross exports that eliminates "double counting", it integrates all previous measures of vertical specialization and value-added trade in the literature. We apply the framework to the most recent appropriate data (2004). Among emerging markets, East Asian countries are the most globally integrated. Among major developed economies, the US is the most integrated in some aspects, and Japan in others. These regional differences also affect exporters¡¦ trade costs.

Students will explore the influence of geography on human migration and movement by taking a closer look at the Khyber Pass between Afghanistan and Pakistan. They will read about the location, dimensions and history of the pass. Then, they will study a map showing the Khyber Pass and the surrounding region. Finally, students will use what they learn to answer questions and draw conclusions about the impact of geography on the significance of the pass.

Alison Moyet eager to gain weight
British singer Alison Moyet is doing all she can to pile on the pounds because she is convinced she became too thin after dieting. The former Yazoo star was once a U.K. dress size 22, but she decided to slim down in 2009 to improve her health.
Moyet is now a U.K. 10, but she wants to gain weight to improve her appearance.
She tells Britain's Daily Mirror, "Personally I think women look better with a bit of chub (fat) on them. I've lost too much weight and I'm currently working very hard on getting fatter again."

Pancreatic cancer is one of the hardest-to-treat types of neoplastic diseases. Metformin, a widely prescribed drug against type 2 diabetes mellitus, is being trialed as an agent against pancreatic cancer, although its efficacy is low. With the idea of delivering metformin to its molecular target, the mitochondrial complex I (CI), we tagged the agent with the mitochondrial vector, triphenylphosphonium group. Mitochondrially targeted metformin (MitoMet) was found to kill a panel of pancreatic cancer cells three to four orders of magnitude more efficiently than found for the parental compound. Respiration assessment documented CI as the molecular target for MitoMet, which was corroborated by molecular modeling. MitoMet also efficiently suppressed pancreatic tumors in three mouse models. We propose that the novel mitochondrially targeted agent is clinically highly intriguing, and it has a potential to greatly improve the bleak prospects of patients with pancreatic cancer.

HERE'S THIS WEEK'S NEW Overheard in San Diego
AND THE NEW Famous Former Neighbors
Astra (CD release), with Earthless, Widows, Red Octopus, F-ck Yeah, DJ Jeff McDaniel - The Casbah
The freaky-folkies of Astra appear at the Casbah for the release of their debut CD The Weirding.
Guitarist Richard Vaughan from Astra says "We're playing with Earthless, Widows, Red Octopus, and F-ck Yeah in the Atari Lounge. and Jeff of Thirsty Moon will be DJ-ing. The Weirding will be released on CD and 2LP and the album art is done by the amazing Arik Roper. http://www.arikroper.com. Our U.S. distribution is through Metal Blade. There will be no special guests or surprising covers, just all original music."
"As far as what else is new with Astra? We will be playing, along with Earthless, at the Festival de Psicodelia Castell de Guadelest. It's a 2 day psychedelic music festival in
The psychedelic sounds of Astra (formerly known as Silver Sunshine) come courtesy of guitarist Richard Vaughan, bassist Stuart Sclater, guitarist Brian Ellis, and guitarist/organist Conor Riley, who frequently whips out a vintage Mellotron, just in case anyone misses the band's intent to supply the missing link between Rubber Soul and Radiohead. Drummer David Hurley (formerly of Dura Mater) brings his own flute and a fully operational sci-fi Moog synthesizer to the acid-drenched analog party.
The band formed in 2001 and was signed Rhode Island-based Empyrean Records. "Our music is sometimes heavy, sometimes gentle, but always freaked," says Vaughan. "Lately we've been digging on heavier, progressive, and wyrd-folk sounds."
Also tonight, The Modlins are having a CD release party for their third full-length, Where Does it End?, at the Whistle Stop, with opening act Writer.
The Modlins are an oldies-influenced indie-pop band. Eric Killian (right-handed guitar) and Matt Sheridan (left-handed guitar) met in 2003, releasing The Daniel EP early the next year under the name "the.beat.less." Their temp drummer at the time was Daniel, of the Los Angeles band Spanish Archer. Thanks to a Craigslist ad, they found a permanent drummer in autumn 2004, Stoph Rhanor.
After changing their name from the.beat.less to the Modlins, they released The Andrew EP in spring 2005. It was around that same time that Alex Smith (bass guitar) joined the group, completing the band's rhythm section and adding a third harmony to their oldies-style vocal arrangements.
Commencing a series of shows with their first appearance as a foursome in May 2005, the group maintained their busy recording schedule, releasing their third effort, The Michael EP, in October 2005.
The next year, the Modlins made an appearance at mile 15.4 of the Rock and Roll Marathon, and performed a three-hour show at Oceanside's Rusty Spur. Their first full-length album
Here's to Being Happy was nominated for "Best Pop Album" at the 2007 San Diego Music Awards. The band's 2007 release, With Friends Like These, took that award home in 2008.

Slaid Cleaves and Eliza Gilkyson - AcousticMusicSanDiego
--> Austin-based singer/songwriter and guitarist Slaid Cleaves began playing music in garage-rock bands while still in high
school. In college, he learned guitar, and later spent a
summer in Ireland. He began busking on the streets in
Cork, and that was the turning point when he decided to
become a folk singer. Slaid combines his passion for folk
songs, blues and traditional country music into an
amalgamation of styles known as "Americana" music.
Everything You Love . . . is the followup to 2006's Unsung, a
lovingly crafted collection of covers written by some of
Cleaves' favorite — if somewhat lesser known — fellow
travelers on the troubadour road. But it's been a good five
years since Cleaves' last album of self-penned songs, 2004's
acclaimed Wishbones, which fans had waited nearly as long
for in the afterglow of the songwriter's 2000 breakthrough,
Broke Down. Though Cleaves may never be confused with
the infamously prolific Ryan Adams, his slow-and-steady-
wins-the-race pace, not unlike that of Guy Clark, yields
albums full of uncommonly fine-tuned songs built to stand
the test of time.
Eliza Gilkyson is a politically minded, poetically gifted
singer-songwriter, who has become one of the most
respected musicians in roots, folk and Americana
circles. The Grammy-nominated artist has appeared
on NPR, Austin City Limits, Mountain Stage, etown,
XM, Air America Radio and has toured with Richard
Thompson, Patty Griffin and Mary Chapin Carpenter.
In February of 2003, she was inducted into the Austin
Music Hall of Fame. The induction placed Eliza
alongside an exclusive list of Austin Music Hall of
Fame greats, including Willie Nelson, Townes Van
Zandt, Nanci Griffith, Billy Joe Shaver, Butch
Hancock, Joe Ely and others.
Daughter of songwriter Terry Gilkyson ("Greenfields",
"Marianne", and "Memories Are Made of This", among
many others), Eliza Gilkyson has the voice of an angel
and the songwriting chops of -- well, her dad, for one.
Socially and politically conscious, many of her songs
reflect her views in those areas. But she's far from
being "just" a protest singer. Songs of love and humor
make her an all-around artist.
Hedwig and the Angry Inch - Cygnet Theatre group, at the Rolando Theatre
The smash hit that started it all returns to the Rolando Stage, the story of Hedwig, the German wanna-be rock headliner and his/her search halfway around the world for identity, love and her/his "other half." Probably the only rock opera/musical ever based on Plato's Symposium, containing one of the ten best-ever rock opera tunes, "The Origin of Love."
Following is a mailing list dialogue between me and writer Jamie Ralph Gardner, who had posted material about the old Sid and Marty Krofft '70s TV show Land of the Lost, the basis for a new Will Ferrell movie.
JAS SAYS: I grew up when the Krofft shows were new, and always found Land of the Lost to be their weakest work. Well, maybe not as bad as Kaptain Kool and the Kongs on the Krofft Supershow, but LOTL was no PufnStuf or Lidsville.
Land of the Lost is my favorite of the Krofft shows. It's been one of my favorite science fiction TV shows since I was a child. I watched it again on the Sci-Fi channel during the 1990s. It still held up really well. I will admit that the special effects are weaker then I remember as a child. Some people nitpick on the acting but I think the actors potrayed a likable family. The show went down hill in the 3rd season when they replaced the Father with the uncle character.
The scripts during the 3rd year were not up to the level of the first 2 seasons. Land of the Lost had intellectual science fiction stories and message oriented episodes. There are times when Jay can be wide off the mark in his opinions.
I liked H.R. Pufnstuf as a child but I was very disappointed in it as an adult. Sometime, I will try watching it again to see if I can recapture my childhood fondness for it. I talked with [Carnal Comics publisher] SS Crompton about your being such as a fan of H.R. Pufnstuf and he couldn't understand why someone beyond 8 years old would be a fan of the show. SS thinks you like it so much because of the drug connotations of H.R. Pufnstuf.
David Gerrold (the author of The Trouble with Tribbles episode of Star Trek) was the story editor for Land of the Lost during the first season. Gerrold wrote 5 episodes of the show including the first episode. There were other Star Trek writers on the show such as D.C. Fontana (she wrote or co-wrote such Star Trek episodes such as By Any Other Name, Charlie X, The Enterprise Incident, Friday's Child, Journey to Babel, This Side of Paradise, Tomorrow Is Yesterday, The Ultimate Computer, etc.), Norman Spinrad (the author of The Doomsday Machine episode of Star Trek), Theodore Sturgeon (the author of Amok Time and Shore Leave episodes of Star Trek) and Margaret Armen (The author of the Cloud Minders, The Paradise Syndrome and The Gamesters of Triskelion episodes of Star Trek).
Walter Koenig wrote The Stranger, the LOTL episode that introduces Enik. Donald F. Glut and Larry Niven are other science fiction writers who wrote for Land of the Lost.
JAS SAYS: Yeah, I'm sure my fondness for Puf has to do with being so young when it aired, but I still enjoy it as an adult for the astounding sets and costumes and their trippy Wonderland-style iconography.
I was a member of the Banana Splits fan club in grade school, and one of my first records was by PufnStuf star Jack Wild - one of the first movies I ever saw by myself in a theater was the Puf feature, which was also my first exposure to Mama Cass, so yeah, that has a lot to do with my fondness --- that, and the Puf music, and Jack Wild's talent.
Lidsville was another fave, again for the imagination it displayed. The subsequent shows all seemed lesser and lesser, as did the lowlight stars like Johnny Whitaker (Family Affair) in Sigmund.
The Kroffts did worse crap than LOTL, like those semi-live action Twain shorts. Perhaps it's the cheap look and wooden acting that most turns me off to Lost - as you said, the scripts were certainly ambitious.
JRG REPLIES: I first watched Land of the Lost when I was 5 years old. I watched it from the beginning. It's one of my earliest childhood memories. This show is one of the things that got me interested in dinosaurs. I think the guy playing Father is fine in the series. I think the actors playing the brother and sister overact at times but I generally like them. I don't think the cast is wooden. I read that Wesley Eure poked fun at his own acting during the audio commentary for the Rhino Records DVD collections of the Land of the Lost TV series.
Jay, since you're a fan of William Shatner, how do you feel about people who criticize William Shatner for overacting? Michael Copner [publisher Cult Movies magazine] once said to me that overacting is not always a bad thing. He made a point that Bela Lugosi overacted in a good way that made his acting larger then life.
I think one of the problems with Land of the Lost is that it was shot in videotape. Videotape shows flaws much more then film.
If the original Star Trek had been shot on videotape, it would look much less real. There are already people who complain about the special effects of the 1960s Star Trek. I talked to some boy who criticized the stop motion animation in the first Terminator movie. The boy prefers CGI effects. I'm not as picky as many other people when it comes to special effects. On another subject, I like the music of Land of the Lost as well, not just the theme song.
I tried to watch some LOTL on Sci-Fi yesterday, and found the biggest hurdle was tolerating the MUSIC. I'd forgotten how astoundingly cheap and cheezy it was - monotone drones on synth, a repeating Mellotron loop, and hideous overuse of the Theremin, a lovely "futuristic" sounding audio invention used to great effect in Forbidden Planet thru many modern pop songs, but reduced to the equivalent of a whoopie cushion sound effect on Land of the Lost. I kind of understand the sci-fi "futuristic" aspect behind the soundtrack, even tho it was a prehistoric setting, but how wonky to soundtrack the entire show like an episode of Far Out Space Nuts ---
You having seen it as a kid inured you to that kind of thing, the same way I'm not bothered by the alphabet soup scripting in Puf-N-Stuf - the shows harken back for us a time when imagination was everything and the real world with all its darkness and scariness was still fended out of our purview by the warm light of the TV screen ---
Shatner has grown on me, after enjoying his run on Boston Legal. I'd still rather watch any of the later Trek shows than the original, with a handful of exceptions, partly because Shat could be so groan-worthy.
Michael Copner and I had several spirited chats about his love of Lugosi, VS my own reverence for Karloff, tho both of us found much worthy work by the others' hero. Had Lugosi been given (or had he chosen) roles like Karloff scored, Lugosi could and should have been one of the greats.
Man, how great would it have been to see LUGOSI playing the aging horror star in Targets, instead of Karloff (in one of his final
10-18-70: Pink Floyd performed in San Diego for the first time at the Intercollegiate Baseball Facility (a.k.a. the Polo Field) at UCSD. Touring behind their Atom Heart Mother album, they had played the previous month for their largest audience ever -- over 500,000 people -- in Paris. Despite their popularity in Europe, Floyd was third on the San Diego bill, behind Hot Tuna and Leon Russell.
Tickets cost $3.50 for the general-admission show, which started at noon. "There was a big marijuana protest on the grounds at the same time," recalls one-time concert promoter Dan Tee, a member of UCSD's Student Body Council at the time and one of the people behind the show. "About a hundred people were carrying signs and chanting 'legalize it, legalize it,' and it seemed like there were at least that many cops around too. "[The protestors] weren't too organized, though. Before long, most of them were going into the concert instead of protesting.... We used a bunch of their [abandoned] sign poles to prop up a temporary fence that gate-crashers tore down to get into the concert."
The San Diego date was one of the few where the experimental song "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast" was performed by the band. It lasted around 20 minutes. "They actually sat at a little folding table and ate for part of the song," says Tee, "with tapes of voices and sound effects playing in the background."
The band returned to San Diego one year later -- 10/17/71 -- to play a show at Golden Hall that became widely bootlegged.
10-17-71 – Pink Floyd at Golden Hall: One of the most widely bootlegged concerts of the vinyl era, collectors of ROIOs (recordings of illegitimate origin) at www.pf-roio say of this concert:
"This is post-Syd pre-Dark Side Floyd at the height of their jamming power...Each instrument is clear and, for a change, Rick [Wright]'s organ is played up in the mix."
"Possibly the best currently available show from the fall 1971 shows...'Fat Old Sun' is the extended version, with an extra verse sung before the jam." "PF shows off their quad sound effects. The music fades out and somebody enters through a door, walks around in the room opening doors with different sounds behind them. After a while, 'Cymbaline' fades in again." Among the many bootlegs available of this performance, From Oblivion appears to have the closest to a complete setlist, now available on CD and frequently auctioned through eBay.

4-14-94 – Pink Floyd at Jack Murphy Stadium: "I could easily smell the burning stench of our failed drug laws," wrote Reader columnist Allan Peterson about Pink Floyd's first San Diego concert in 19 years. The immense scope of the elaborate show, with all its effects, movie screens, inflatable animals, and (excellent) quad sound, is not what ranks this show (sans the "real" Pink, Roger Waters) among great and historic local events.
Rather, it was the stirring performance of "The Great Gig in the Sky." Peterson says, "Singer Durga McBroom's take on that classic piece was seamlessly compelling and contained all that one could hope for -- longing, sadness, acceptance, raw beauty...the terrifying immediacy of mortality, the telling reality of loss." I felt the same chill down my spine during the rendition, and over a decade later, that's "the moment" everyone I know who was there still raves about.
Bootleg aficionados apparently agree, usually ranking this date -- and that performance of "Great Gig" -- among the best of the entire U.S. tour.

Mary Weiland, the estranged wife of Scott Weiland, will publish her memoir, "Fall to Pieces", on October 27 (Click for more)
Scott Weiland has issued a statement in response to media reports of the memoir. The statement, issued Wednesday (June 3), reads in part "At 16, Mary dreamed of being a famous model. She came close but she gave up her career for [the couple's kids] Noah, Lucy, and myself. She never got to see the 'what could have happened.' Well, as everyone knows by now, we are getting divorced and yes, Mary is writing a book which I have not read. But what I want everyone to know that it has nothing to do with infidelity. Neither the divorce nor the book. Please don't place the red letter upon my children's mother..."

Tweeter Travis Barker of Blink 182 (@trvsbrkr 162,628 followers) and DJ AM (@DJ_AM 61,128 followers) this week released the first ever Coachella '09 downloadable mixtape to fans "Free in exchange for only one tweet," crashing servers and exploding the digital airwaves! Fans went into a digital frenzy using the application built by Culture Jam Labs, retweeting the message and downloading the mixtape from the TRV$DJAM twitter website by tweeting the following message for the free download: "Download the new #trvsdjam mixtape Fix Your Face Vol. 2 - Coachella 09 in exchange for one tweet!"
Here is the official announcement from Culture Jam Labs: Superstar drummer Travis Barker and world-renowned turntablist DJ-AM are breaking new ground with the release of their second mixtape, "Fix Your Face Vol. 2 – Coachella '09". As social media enthusiasts, the two musicians have chosen to offer Twitter users an early download of their album for an unconventional price—one "tweet".
Apparently some online rat is impersonating Ratt frontman Stephen Pearcy. His official Myspace page warns fans, "If you're getting messages from Stephen Pearcy 'Under My Skin' myspace IT IS NOT from Mr. Pearcy. We have been getting notices that this imposter is sending messages saying he's Mr. Pearcy, which he is NOT!". Mr Pearcy? How un-rock n' roll. (Click for more)

Idle Idol: Apparently it was mostly entertainment writers who were excited about this season's American Idol finale, and not viewers or fans of local oh-so-theatrical singer Adam Lambert (who poked fun at speculation about his sexuality on this weekend's edition of VH1's Best Week Ever). The karaoke contest show wrapped its eighth season Wednesday with the lowest rating ever in the 18-49 demographic for an "Idol" finale, even as the series touted its largest margin of victory yet over competitors this season.

Rancid is offering a full stream and a track by track commentary of their new album Let the Dominoes Fall on their MySpace page.
Rolling Stone's new issue (June 11) has a short article "Hot Scene: San Diego - a Noise Grows in SoCal ," mostly focusing on Waaves, Crocodiles, the Soft Pack, Christmas Island, and Delta Spirit.
Wavves is all over the internet, and this time not in a good way, after storming angrily from the stage at Spain's Primevera Sound Festival, leaving his drummer yelling and swearing for him to come back, only to have the sound turned off and be bum-rushed from the stage. The meltdown is being chatted up on Facebook, Twitter, Stereogum, Pitchfork, San Diego Dialed In, etc. Rosey at http://www.sddialedin.com/ has Wavves/Nathan's website apology, which was apparently removed from Nathan's blog but remains visible at a link from Rosey's site.
This one's not local, but it's my favorite news short of the day - Guitarist Oz Fox of reactivated Christian hard rockers Stryper will marry Annie Lobért, a 41-year-old former call girl who founded the international Christian ministry Hookers for Jesus, on June 5 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

"A vibrant and unique member of our community was the victim of a hate crime on May 14," says Abby Schwartz, aka rapper MC Flow. "Most of you know Rhythm Turner as the lead singer of Rhythm & the Method, a successful local band that has been playing at Pride festivals and venues around San Diego for years. Some of you may simply know her as the bright, outgoing person she is – creative, spiritual, laid-back. She has a cheerful, '60s vibe and teaches yoga when she is not in class as a full-time student."
"On May 14, Rhythm and her girlfriend were approached in the parking lot outside a San Diego venue, as they were hugging goodbye after one of Rhythm's gigs. The attacker asked the two women to kiss and became violent when they refused. Rhythm, who has no medical insurance, was left with serious facial fractures and a fractured nose, and now requires surgery to repair the damage."
In an effort to speak out about hate crimes, she has since made a video about the incident, which can be viewed at www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5tGpnspl80.
"Rhythm's attacker is not currently being charged with a hate crime, but she would like to see the charge added. Fundraisers are beginning to pop up around town to support Rhythm, starting with the first one this Thursday at FlawLes' Thirsty Thursdays at Universal. A larger benefit with live music, raffles and silent auction is scheduled to take place at Humphrey's Backstage Lounge on Saturday, June 13, from 1 to 4 p.m."
For more information on upcoming fundraisers or to send Rhythm a note of support, visit www.myspace.com/rhythmandthemethod.

Local Record Release Roundup - June
The Predicates release their fourth album Words Teeth Sleep on June 6, with a performance at Lestat's. "The Turtle Project is also on the bill," says singer/guitarist Gregg O'Connell, "and we'll be doing a cover song with them for their last song, to streamline the final two performances so attendees won't have to wait for the next band." The album – their second full-length collaboration DJ D-Fab, whose studio recorded it – is self-released. Says O'Connell, "Who needs a record label these days?"
Joey Harris and the Mentals are promoting their new 10-track self-named album with a June 14 release show at Brick by Brick. "Mojo Nixon and Paul and Caren Kamanski will be joining us onstage," says Harris, "as well as Scottie Mad Dog Blinn of the Mississippi Mudsharks, who produced the album and is releasing it on his Double Barrel label. We'll also have a special appearance by Slim Crowbar and the I.O.U.s." Brick by Brick is where Harris was once chatted up by Frank Zappa, circa 1980. "I'd just played with Fingers, [and] Frank said he loved the band's energy and the songs and asked me to contact his manager in
Jeff Berkley's 5-piece rock band Citizen Band will appear June 21 at Brick by Brick, to launch their new album Breaker Breaker My Heart. "We're gonna put our own spin on a Bill Monroe and Peter Rowan bluegrass tune," says Berkley, best known as half of the roots duo Berkley Hart "CB allows me to do things I don't get to do in BH, like kick and yell, or have a smoke machine, moody lights, distortion, and tape echoes. Also, there's more drinking in CB. But BH is just the two of us."
The freaky-folkies of Astra appear at the Casbah on June 5 for the release of their debut CD The Weirding. The same night, the Modlins are having a CD release party for their third full-length, Where Does it End, at the Whistle Stop, with opening act Writer.
On June 21, Sublime-ly groovy jam band Irieside celebrate their full-length debut on Above Ground Records at the Boars Cross'n in
Stranger releases their new album at 'Canes on June 5. Candye Kane's new full-length Superhero (Delta Groove Records) debuts with a June 19 appearance at Anthology, her final San Diego appearance until her current world tour wraps up this October in Australia. Summer will also see new albums from Irish rockers Skelpin (The Singing Bird), acoustic blues guitarist Joshua Blatchley, headbangers Wolves of Eden, the Brit-inspired Modlins, and a live set from songstress Anna Troy.
Chuck Schiele's compilation of Ocean Beach-based performers, Waves, is set for release June 27, with several acts appearing at that weekend's OB Street Fair. "Everybody knows the jam band thing has a pretty strong foothold here," says the Grams frontman and operator of StudiOB. "I work counter to that."********************************************************
NOW AS FOR THE WOOORRRSSSTTT GIRL I EVER DATED, you have to come with me to the northern mountains of Georgia, when I was staying up in Gilmer County - The girl I dated - we'll call her "Floozie" - lived in a converted trailer...with a built-on screened-in porch!! On a dirt road. With plumbing via hand-fitted PVC pipes running ABOVE ground to a nearby house. With a chair made of Bud cans on that porch. I can still remember how blown away she was the first time I took her somewhere with an automatic-flush toilet, which she'd never seen - her own toilet only flushed when you dump a bucket of water in the bowl. The girl, her son, her father, her mom, and one of two brothers have all been arrested and served time for either making or selling meth. The non-felon brother is gay (and runs a hair salon near Atlanta!!). Everyone thinks the gay guy is the one "bad seed" in the family.... She'd met her previous boyfriend in a DUI class. The boyfriend before that was in prison, for – yep – manufacturing meth. Every word true!!!! And that's not even mentioning the time I think I caught her kissing her passed-out-drunk son on the lips, which she said was just her "flossing his teeth" because the only time she can do it is when he's passed out drunk. I've never seen dental floss in that house or in her possession.... Not only have I never seen dental floss in that house, but I never saw evidence that a single member of that wacky Chainsaw Massacre klan EVER USED dental floss - probably in their lives, given how their mouths all looked like the front end of a crashed El Camino.... I swear, not even an exaggeration in any of above --- After that girl, I didn't date the locals no mo ---- JAS *********************************************************
I came across the MySpace page for local punk rockers The Bugs/Dangerous Dave
Checkout the tune here - The Bugs/Dangerous Dave on MySpace"I wrote the song when he was on that Rock Star Supernova show," says "Dangerous Dave" Swain of the Bugs. He used to be in Jane's Addiction/ Now he's on TV trying to earn a buck He was so much cooler when he was on drugs/ Dave Navarro's goatee f-cking sucks "All that makeup and jewelry," says Swain, "what a jerk. Where the hell is he getting off wearing all that crap? He's so full of himself. Anyone with any soul would want to tell him to go [screw] himself." The Bugs may have a problem with their video for the song, which features a couple dozen enlarged photos of Navarro on a screen behind the group as they mock his facial hair. "I keep waiting to hear from his attorney about the video," says Swain. "I'm sure they wouldn't appreciate us using his pictures without consent. If they do email me, I'm printing it in the insert of the next album." With tours booked around California, are the Bugs worried about running into the rock star? "I'm really not the fighting type. But if he came at me, he'd definitely get a little chin music. I don't really want to [meet him]. He may try to French me." The band's other songs include "No More Emo Haircuts," "Meth on My Mind," "Lesbo Lesbo," and "Email From a She-Male" (also an amusing video). Clocking in at around two minutes each, the songs will appear on the Bugs' upcoming Cabana Records seven-inch vinyl album. "Yeah, that's right, the whole album fits on a seven-inch. And there's still room for another song or two!" ***************************************************

FROM A QUEEN SONG TO A BETTER MUSIC SEARCH - UC San Diego electrical engineering Ph.D. student Luke Barrington presented a new model for music segmentation that can capture both the sound of a song and how this sound changes over time. The system "listens" to songs it has never heard before, labels them based on the actual sounds in the song, and then retrieves songs, as appropriate, when people type descriptive words—like "mellow jazz"—into the team's experimental search engine...

I'm surprised by your criticism of William Shatner. You have spoken so highly of Shatner's acting in the Thriller TV series. I think Shatner did his best Star Trek acting during the first season of the show. His acting could be quite different, depending on the episode. I think Harlan Ellison's The City on the Edge of Forever has one of William Shatner's best acting jobs. With the exception of Richard Matheson's The Enemy Within (during which Shatner plays the good and evil Captain Kirk), his acting is way more toned during the first year.
I have noticed his haltering acting style is something he does when speaks outside of acting as well. In a book that Shatner wrote, he said that the reason why he halters when he speaks, is that he is pausing to remember his lines. Shatner says that he would deliberately overact to make silly situations seem more real. He has written about his acting in The World of Suzie Wong play. Shatner claims that when he overacted, the audience got more in to the play.
I think the "The Musician" is one the weaker episodes of the first 2 seasons of land of the Lost. I think a flaw of the 2nd season is that Chaka and his ape people got used too much. They were being used too much for comic relief. I like Chaka but I prefered it when he was potrayed in a more serious way. Most of the famous science fiction writers were gone during the 2nd season. Even though the 2nd was uneven, the show still had a signicant number of good episodes.
I'm glad you started watching the shows before the 3rd season. Many land of the Lost fans are very critical of the 3rd season. If you just had the 3rd season to go on, this would reinforce your negative opinion of the show. I would recommend you see the first season, this is when the show was at it's best.
