"FAITH will be REWARDED"
- Bruce Springsteen
As life progresses I find that increasingly the main source of faith invested in me comes from the same people who support my writing and anticipate my new posts. This blog has always provided a great diversity in terms of content and message. I write about music, and I write about life… Most fundamentally I try to find that moment at which life and music intersect, in such a way which defines their dependence upon one another. That is, our dependence upon music in life, and music's dependence upon life to be meaningful. It is in music we that find the definition of beauty, it is in music that we seek shelter in our moments of pain, and it is in music that we ultimately find ourselves, and one another. One can tell so much of a man's character by the music he turns to, at his greatest moments of need. As a fan of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, I consider myself privileged and honoured – in the very true essence of the words – to be apart of what is, unquestionably, the greatest fan community in the world. All too often the sanctity of music is abused by corporations wishing to exploit sound and people to turn over a profit. This is not to negate the presence of truly revolutionary, beautiful, and relevant music within current society, but it is a fact that when the charts are dominated by people who don't truly represent the essence of – at least what I consider to be – music, it can be hard to remember that, in some sections of society at least, music remains both fundamental to survival, and pivotal in helping give our lives meaning. Furthermore, music gives us the ability to find life's very spirit itself. As a fan of Bruce and the E Street Band, I find myself apart of one of the greatest examples of people united by a shared love, set of ideals, and morals by which we live. Through the fan community lives are as changed as they are enhanced, in a way which is reflected only by the music which unites us in the first place. Whenever the world seems like a dark place, the Springsteen fan community serves as a prime example that to lose faith would be an immeasurable loss. Second only to the music we love, our fan community takes the music experience from the level of sustaining us, to the level of making our lives more beautiful than they could otherwise possibly be. As Bruce Springsteen himself put it, "The best music, you can seek some shelter in it momentarily, but it's essentially there to provide you something to face the world with." So too it is true that the best people, through the greatest of all fan communities, can come together and not only provide mutual support for those who may falter during the hard realities of life, but more essentially can – as a community, and as people with relationships within that community – bring a depth of meaning to life as an eternal entity above and beyond just about anything else.
Four weeks ago I experienced the greatest possible intersection of life and music. The ultimate fulfilment of the dream which sustained me, to see Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band live in concert, was something which went from being the hope which kept me going, to the reality which reminded me I was alive. The most significant, the most emotional, and the most overwhelming moment of my life came at the point when the notion of faith being rewarded became the truth in my life, and in the lives of the special people around me. That was the moment that the E Street Band ascended to the stage only feet in front of me, followed by the man who held the key to my survival through the hard times, words to the good times, and provided me with the soundtrack to my life. I had always known that experiencing the E Street Band live, in all their power, would be overwhelming. As an 18 year old leaving Scotland only a few days before the concerts, I anticipated a life changing moment, however the experience which came was beyond that which I could ever have possibly even imagined. What I felt was a depth of emotion, connection, and love which – before that moment – had been beyond both my cognitive and emotional comprehension. For the first time in years I felt like I was the person I was meant to be, with the people I was destined to be with, doing what I was born to do. I felt happiness, and I felt a release of pain which for so long had defined me. To say that seeing Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band was a life changing moment would be an understatement. I was reborn. I also was not alone. The music which represents a Band with 40 years behind them, the words which are the soundtrack to the lives of the fans who adore them, and the power which makes them the legendary E Street Band, combined, make for a force greater than anything else. From the moment the band played "Badlands", the song which opened my first ever concert, 55,000 people jumped together, sang together, smiled together – and many of us cried together. Tears not reflecting unhappiness, rather a realisation that what we were experiencing was real. And my God, was it overwhelming. For weeks now I have tried to find words to represent the nights of May 17th and May 18th, and so far have failed. However, summer's here, and the time is right…
From the moment in December that I bought my tickets to see the E Street Band in Barcelona, I was intrinsically aware that I needed to be in the pit. With over 50,000 people due to attend, I was committed to spending my first show as close to Bruce, and the band, as I could possibly be. Seeing them meant the world to me. Beyond my hopes for family and friends, it was my greatest dream. I at times lived for that moment, and was certain beyond doubt that I would do whatever it took to be firmly at the front of the thousands of fans, so that the moment that Bruce and the E Street Band took to the stage, I would be there. Originally intending to queue from 5am or thereabouts, upon arriving in Barcelona and meeting my buddy and fellow fan Chris, we established that the pit entry system would be based upon numbered entry and interval-oriented queuing. With that in mind, at 8pm on the Wednesday I acquired the most significant number of my life so far – 207. Technically queuing for 26 hours, the notion of "Faith will be REWARDED" kept us going…
… and so it was. We did it. Taking our places at the mini stage, below where Nils Lofgren and Sister Soozie would play, with a perfect view of where Bruce would sing, and of the Band as a whole, I realised with absolute certainty that the greatest night of my life so far, was going to be even more special than I ever had anticipated. And that was before the band came to the stage. Separated from Chris – who took his spot in the central crowd of the pit – I stood with five people who will have a special place in my heart forever, for it was with them that I would realise my ultimate dream – one which they so passionately shared.
The anticipation of seeing the E Street Band was overwhelming. As the stadium began to fill, and the sun began to set, my hands began to shake… Thinking back to all the moments where I only had the music of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band – experiences which defined their importance to me – it was an utterly emotional thing to comprehend that within a matter of hours that very man, with his band of 40 years, would be literally only feet before me. That was the first of many moments that tears came to my eyes. We stood pushed against the rail, close enough to the stage that it was within arm's reach. Little did we know, but that very detail would be key for what was to come. With the light fading, and the stadium filling – so quickly in fact that, and much to the amusement of my Chicagoan friends, a mini human avalanche took place on the steps entering the stadium - the anticipation and fervent excitement manifested itself ever more extremely. It was an emotional overload, and even when the sound technicians and the lighting guys were scuttling around the stage, the crowd went wild. The energy in the stadium, even hours before the concert began, was electrifying.
Over 12 hours before, I had had a rendezvous with a great friend of mine and massive Bruce fan from Chicago, Steph, who had brought along with her three friends all making their European Springsteen pilgrimage. Standing with them – and John, a veteran of live shows – I could see reflected in their eyes the very same emotions which I felt, and which had brought us together in Barcelona to begin with. My tears were the tears of thousands, and their tears were the tears of my own. As the excitement of years waiting for what was now happening turned into a realisation that this was reality, the sun sank lower behind the stadium walls, and the crowd began to intensify. There was a spirit in the night and an atmosphere which echoed the unified love and hope, not to mention anticipation and excitement, of thousands. There was also the ever present sense of something awe-inspiring and life changing to come, that feeling that the moment the E Street Band came to the stage, they would rip the whole fucking place apart. And so it was, that just after 21:45, the E Street Band walked out onto the stage, followed by The Boss himself, and they did just that.
Seeing Nils Lofgren, and Soozie Tyrell, heading in our direction, and Roy Bittan and Garry Tallent heading to their half of the stage, time froze. Mighty Max Weinberg appeared at his drums, and Stevie Van Zandt made his way onto the stage, armed with the smile which he is famous for. The music which had been playing as the crowd waited, stopped, replaced by a cheering louder than even the soundcheck we had heard hours earlier. It was at that moment that Bruce Springsteen took his place on stage with his band, and my dream came true. Half the crowd were screaming uncontrollably, the other half chanting "Bruce, Bruce, Bruce…". I stood with my jaw dropped, trying to squeeze out my own cheers, despite the massive lump in my throat. As Bruce and the Band quietly acknowledged the crowd, through smiles and the occasional wave, that moment which we had all been waiting for finally came. Bruce shouted, with a smile I have never seen before, "Hola Barcelona! Hola Catalonia! Hola Barcelona! Hola Catalonia! 1, 2, 3…" BADLANDS. The crowd erupted, and simultaneously jumped to the beat of a song which summarised the very sentiments of that which had taken me 1,000 miles to Barcelona, and that which I do believe every fan of the E Street Band believes in. To stand with some of the greatest people I have ever met, before the best band in the world, hearing the following words, live, was not only a dream come true, but it was the greatest moment of my life up until that point.
"But there's one thing I know for sure girl
I don't give a damn
For the same old played out scenes
I don't give a damn
For just the in betweens
Honey, I want the heart, I want the soul
I want control right now
talk about a dream
Try to make it real
you wake up in the night
With a fear so real
Spend your life waiting
for a moment that just don't come
Well, don't waste your time waiting"
As the song progressed into the chorus, over 50,000 people sang together "BADLANDS, YOU GOTTA LIVE IT EVERY DAY…" , another moment which gives me goosebumps just to think about. Strum after strum, line after line, cheer after cheer, the Band whipped the crowd into a frenzy. As "Badlands" intensified, so too did the crowd, with lines such as "Poor man wanna be rich / rich man wanna be king / And a king ain't satisfied / till he rules everything" resonating deeply, whilst being met by rapturous applause with singing to match, with it's underlying tone of truth inspiring such an emotive response from the crowd. Interspersed with the chant, "Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh Oh", synonymous with the song which opens "Darkness On The Edge Of Town", the opening few minutes of the concert set the tone for the rest of the evening. And personally, when Bruce sang with all the power in his voice, matched by the thunder of his band;
"For the ones who had a notion,
a notion deep inside
That it ain't no sin
to be glad you're alive
I wanna find one face
that ain't looking through me
I wanna find one place,
I wanna spit in the face of these badlands"
I realised that I was one of those people who had a notion deep inside, that really it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive, and that the faces that ain't looking through me were the ones of the people on the stage before me, and the friends who stood with me. "Badlands" truly marked the beginning of my emotional reconstruction, my spiritual enlightenment, and the best night of my life up until that day.
Below is a video taken at the moment I described, by a fellow concert goer who was on my side of the stage but right at the back of the pit. I know having watched that video many, many times that there are a few moments when I can spot what I know to be my arm. My friends and I were literally just below Nils, on the barrier by the mini stage (literally, at the front) – where Bruce visited later in the show. The video also shows the first moment that we made eye contact with one of the Band. Nils can be seen jumping to his right, and looking right down at where I was standing during the first song (1min 42). I remember that distinctly, and still get goosebumps. It re-affirmed the notion that it was real, contrary to what every fibre in my body could accept. With that one jump by the 60 year old rocker, the opening song by the 40 year old Band, and the awe-inspiring vocals of our 62 year old Boss, began the night which changed everything.
Flowing into "We Take Care of Our Own", something else occurred to me.
"Where's the eyes, the eyes with the will to see
Where's the hearts, that run over with mercy
Where's the love that has not forsaken me
Where's the work that set my hands, my soul free
Where's the spirit to reign, reign over me
Where's the promise, from sea to shining sea
Where's the promise, from sea to shining sea"
I realised that the eyes with the will to see, the hearts that run over with mercy, the love that has not forsaken me, the spirit, to reign, reign over me, and the promise, from sea to shining sea, were here, in Barcelona, on the stage in front of me, and in the hearts of those around me.
As the night progressed, so too did the emotions, the excitement, and the realisation that what was happening was reality. Something I had always heard of but obviously never experienced before my first show was just the level of energy in a stadium with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. It was unbelievable. I had been told by fans before me that during my first show I would be stood in a state of shock and awe, and that was entirely true.
Being overwhelmed was an emotion which was defining the first time I saw the E Street Band, that night. I was in a perpetual state of either tears, or being on the verge of them. I wasn't unhappy -
completely the opposite. Emotionally overwhelmed, but happy. More happy than I had ever been before. There were moments of reflection, which were marked by tears of sorrow – but quickly replaced by those of hope and love. Introducing "My City of Ruins", Bruce spoke for a few moments, and whilst I didn't understand what he was saying in Catalan, I could feel the power of his words. Translated by my close friend Pere, Bruce's words are as follows: "Hola Barcelona. Hola Catalunya. Com esteu? Com esteu? Bé. Aquesta cançó és una història d'holes i adéus, del viure i del morir. Ës una història sobre el que perdem i el que queda per sempre" – [Hi Barcelona. Hi Catalunya. How you doing? How you doing? Fine. That song is a story about 'hellos' and 'good-byes', about living and dying. It's a story about what we lose and what we keep forever]. If I were to choose one sentence to summarise what it is that I felt that night, I would say "Ës una història sobre el que perdem i el que queda per sempre" - It's a story about what we lose and what we keep forever. As Bruce finished roll-call, he spoke again. "Trobeu algú a faltar? Trobeu algú a faltar? Si vosaltres esteu aquí i nosaltres estem aquí, llavors ells estan aquí també. Puc sentir-los en les vostres veus!" – [Are we missing anybody? Are we missing anybody, now? If you're here, and we're here - they're here. I can hear them in your voices!". This was met by an explosion of emotion, an intensity of love and devotion for the Big Man Clarence Clemons, and for Danny Federici, and also, for those who we love ourselves, who have died. One of the many things which separates Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, from the majority of other Bands, is the level to which they can, and do, take crowds emotionally. On May 17th, and for the first time in my life, I knew what it meant to have the power of music brought down on me. And it felt good.
One of the most emotional moments of the concert for me came at only the seventh song. Bruce and the Band played "Out In The Street" - the first song I had ever heard. At that moment I felt the beginnings of the release of many years of struggle. Hearing the song for the first time only shortly after I lost my Dad, I was taken back to that moment and reminded of just how much I had leant and relied upon Bruce Springsteen for getting through the hardest years of my life. When I first heard "Out In The Street", I realised that I would never be alone again. That was a promise I invested a lot of faith into, as I knew that - for lack of anyone else - I'd always have the Band to see me through hard times, and so it was that on the night of May 17th I was not alone. I was with some of the greatest people I had ever met, doing the greatest thing of my life up until that point. As the song began, marked by a high-five from Steph who knew of the significance of that song for me, I welled up - again - as I felt the emotions streaming out of my body, being enhanced and replaced by the power and love of the Band who saved me. A Band who were literally feet in front of me. Captured here is the moment Bruce visited the mini-stage right before us.
Up until this part of the show, to say that the excitement of the reality of which we were apart was overwhelming would be an understatement. A few times Bruce had toyed with us, stepping down from the upper stage, moving closer to the crowd. There had been moments when he had headed in our direction, but so far he hadn't been close enough that we could have the "magic" moment. The anticipation of seeing him, close enough to actually touch him, was uncontrollable. That was, until during "Talk To Me", Bruce Springsteen came close enough to my friends and I that we touched his guitar. Feeling the neck of one of Bruce's signature guitars, with him literally inches before me, was absolutely, unquestionably, the most exciting moment I had experienced up until then. I could feel the surge of thousands of fans behind me, everyone pushing their way closer to The Boss. It was a truly special feeling, having Bruce before us with his guitar in our hands. A moment I will never forget, and one which most certainly will never stop making me smile. Watching the video below, I can't help but feel completely excited. I mean come on – I TOUCHED HIS GUITAR!
One of the songs which I looked forward to hearing live most was "Waitin' On a Sunny Day". Whilst not a song I feel a massive emotional connection to personally, within the context of a concert Bruce and the Band playing that song involve the crowd in a way which is more vocal than perhaps at any other time. That is what I looked forward to. The excitement, hope, and happiness of tens of thousands raining down upon the stadium is a truly magical moment. It's a given that the Band will play "Sunny Day", and sure enough at song 16 (of 29), they did. The surge of happiness was matched only by that of the crowd, as everyone stood and sang together, with Bruce running around the stage with the energy of a man less than half his age, and a dignified air of optimism which so defines that song. Once again, he paid a visit to our section of the stage… And just look at what happened.
One beautiful moment of the evening was when, closing "The Promised Land", the stage went dark and the Band played "The River". The title track of the first album which I ever heard, there was a beautiful moment when the spotlight shined upon Stevie with his guitar, and Bruce started to play his haunting and heartbreaking harmonica intro. I had, for a moment as the stage darkened, thought that maybe, just maybe, the Band would play my all time favourite and most personal song, "Racing In The Street". Alas, when they instead played "The River", I was grateful because I knew not many songs could have lived up to what I felt was coming at that moment. However, not only did "The River" make up for the lack of "Racing", but it took the concert to a new level in its own right. Perhaps most significant was the knowledge that one of the very special people I was with was experiencing in her world what I knew I'd be experiencing in mine if Bruce had played "Racing In The Street", and that in itself made that moment something which will have a place in my heart forever.
Since getting home from Barcelona, I have been inundated with people telling me about what a special setlist I got for my first show. Perhaps the best example of just how special the setlist was is "Prove It All Night", with the '78 Intro. The moment Roy's piano started, and the crowd worked out just how special this moment was, a cloak of that sense one gets of history-in-the-making descended upon the crowd. Only the second time played in this format since 1978, one could not escape the sense of how special the night had become. For some people that moment was even more special than others… Steph let out a scream which I do believe is captured on a few of the videos; a great physical manifestation of the excitement we were all feeling inside. This was only the second time that "Prove It" had been played with the prolonged intro of 1978, and man – was it special.
At well over 3 hours, the concert never ceased to be anything but extraordinary and the most positive and exciting thing I could ever have possibly imagined, and beyond. Many highlights though there were, some of the moments which will stay with me eternally are the times at which Bruce reminded me of what it was that had brought me to his music in the first place. Finding him at the hardest moment of my life, I developed a relationship with his music which at times left me relying completely upon his words and the sound of his Band. Where my friends would perhaps receive emotional advice, leadership, and strength from their Fathers, I received such life important learnings from Bruce Springsteen; whilst never once relinquishing the love which I have for my Dad. With that in mind, perhaps the most special element of Thursday's concert was the connection I felt with my Dad. Most emotionally during "We Are Alive". I hadn't felt as close to my Dad since before he died, as I did when Bruce came to the front of the stage and started to sing that song. It's moments like that which defined the evening as being so unimaginably spectacular, life changing, and rejuvenating. When reflecting upon that moment I have to say, there is truly something more than human about what the E Street Band does. Night after night, people travel sometimes even thousands of miles, to be healed, to to be loved, and to have fun. They go to the E Street Band, and now I truly understand why.
As the setlist closed, before the encore, I was overjoyed to hear Bruce play perhaps his most famous intro to a song with a harmonica. The warm start of "Thunder Road", the intro of which echoes the sentiments of the song. A new beginning, life, freedom, the realisation of dreams, and the presence of love, and escape. Key elements of the song itself, Bruce manages to emulate the lyrical beauty of his song with the harmonic sound of his harmonica, before the Band joins in and magic happens. Together, with over 50,000 people, I sang "The screen door slams, Mary's dress waves…". As my eyes began to tear up for what seemed like the millionth time that night, I realised that I was experiencing the best life had to offer. It dawned upon me that what my friends and I were experiencing was that which we had always dreamt about. As the crowd sang and the music played, looking up at the Band, and around at the crowd, I got the overwhelming sense that this was life at its best. Over 50,000 people together singing a song written 37 years ago – each and every one of them believing in the message of the song, and standing together showing love and solidarity. "It's a town full of losers, we're pullin' out of here to win".
As the encore came to be, another dream was realised. As Bruce screamed "Barcelona, are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready? 1, 2, 3, 4″ BORN IN THE U.S.A. Massive goosebumps. This was a pure rock moment. I had seen endless clips from the Born In The U.S.A. world tour, where crowds rocked so hard stadiums shook, and now I was actually experiencing that power – and it was awesome. The Band was playing so hard, so loud, that I could literally feel the music coursing through my body. As the crowd sang the anthemic chorus of "Born in the U.S.A…" broken up by Bruce's lyrics which were as angry and raw as they were 28 years ago, it was completely apparent that this was the coolest rocking moment of the night up until that moment. Pure power, pure rock 'n' roll. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band at their loudest, and amplifying their best – a level of musicianship and talent which had sustained a show of over 3 hours. I was witnessing the greatest band in the world, with the greatest people in the world.
Almost seamlessly flowing into Bruce's most famous song, and definitively one of his greatest, "Born to Run", the crowd continued to sing, the smiles continued to grow, and the power grew even greater. Over 50,000 people taken to a level which transcends the constraints of life, living together in the moment with nothing but a desire to fight, to love, and to have fun. The sax solo which Clarence left was played by his nephew Jake, and a poignant and beautiful moment came when, at the end of the sax solo, Jake raised his saxophone to the sky. The presence of Clarence's spirit had been alive all night, but no greater than at that moment.
The fun never seemed to end. "Bobby Jean" was then played, flowing into "Dancing In The Dark". This was an encore to behold! And we were there! The crowd was alive, as we all sang and danced together, with the E Street Band. I ask myself the question – does life get any better? And truthfully, my answer to that question is – no. It was unspeakably fun, and whilst the night had confronted issues of dreams versus realities, love and loss, life and the eternal after it, for the last few songs before the finale, fun was on the agenda. I don't think anybody does it quite like the E Street Band.
Finally, as one of the two greatest nights of our lives came to a close, we joined with Bruce and his Band in paying tribute to the BIGGEST man you've ever seen, the late and beloved Clarence Clemons. "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out", "When the change was made uptown / And the Big Man joined the band", marked the end of the near 30 song set, and what was the beginning of a new life. As the video montage of Clarence was played, and the crowd sang and cheered for him, I felt within a sense of acceptance for all the bad times I had experienced. For I realised, that without them I would never have been the 18 year old who would travel over 2,000 miles return for a Band who brought me together with the best people I had ever met – people I will hold close to my heart forever. Standing with the E Street Band, under their guidance, surrounded by some of the most special people I had met, and the love of thousands, living and breathing the spirit of Clarence & Danny, and all the people we love who are now beyond this world, the sense of acceptance was then superseded by one of thanks for having the E Street Band in my life, and even more so for bringing me together with people who will be apart of my life forever.
Leaving the stadium that night, I didn't expect that anything could be more special than what I had just experienced. I had no idea about what was to come the next night, something which was even more special than the first – and believe me, that in itself says something.

During the 1940s, '50s, and '60s, the Elks Harts Lodge No. 640 at this site was one of the most important venues for Rhythm and Blues in the Delta. Particularly during the segregation era, fraternal organizations such as the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of the Elks of the World (the "black Elks") were central to African-American political, cultural, and social life, and played an important role in the Civil Rights movement.
The first Mississippi Delta Blues Festival was held on October 21, 1978, here at Freedom Village, a rural community founded as a refuge for displaced agricultural workers. In 1987 the festival moved to a location closer to Greenville.

Eddie Lee "Guitar Slim" Jones brought new levels of energy and intensity to electric guitar playing with his raw, incendiary approach in the 1950s. An impassioned singer and a flamboyant showman, Jones was best known for his classic recording "Things That I Used To Do." Documentation of his early years is scant, but according to biographies, he was born in Greenwood on December 10, 1926. His father, Sam Jones, later lived on Race Track Plantation and is buried in the Salem M. B. Church Cemetery here.

Part of the Mississippi Blues Trail, Hickory Street, known locally as "The Hollow", was a hub of social life, commerce, and entertainment for the African American community of Central Mississippi for several decades, up through the 1970's. Canton's most famous blues musician, Elmore James, performed often in the local cafes and clubs. James also learned the electronics trade by working at Roberts Radio Repair on Hickory Street. His experiments with sound technology led him to develop a powerful and original electric blues style.
Jack Owens became one of Mississippi's most venerated blues artists in the 1980s and '90s after spending most of his life as a farmer in Yazoo County. Born November 17, 1904, or 1906 according to some sources, Owens did not perform outside the state of Mississippi until 1988. During his final years he and his harmonica player, Bud Spires, traveled together to many festivals and performed on Owens's front porch for hundreds of visitors. Owens died on February 9, 1997.
James "Son" Thomas, internationally famed Blues musician and folk sculptor, worked as a porter at the Montgomery Hotel, which once occupied this site. Born in the Yazoo County community of Eden October 14, 1926, Thomas moved to Leland in 1961. He made his first recordings for folklorist Bill Ferris in 1968 and later traveled the United States and Europe to perform at Blues concerts and exhibit his art.

Mathis James "Jimmy" Reed, one of the most influential Blues artists of the 1950s and '60s, was born here on the Shady Dell plantation on September 6, 1925. Reed was one of the first Bluesmen to achieve "crossover" success, scoring hits on both the Rhythm & Blues and Pops charts with songs including "Honest I Do," "Big Boss Man," "Baby What You Want Me To Do," and "Bright Lights, Big City."

LEFT SLEEVE | LEFT POCKET | Troop 54 Uniform Guidelines The
formal "Class A" uniform consists of the official tan Scout shirt (with
red epaulets),
Scout pants or Scout shorts with Scout belt, green or white neckerchief
(depending on rank) with slide, and cap (BSA official or Troop54 $10).
As your boy progresses in scouting, he may acquire merit badges that will be worn on a shoulder sash. "Class A" uniforms are appropriate at meetings and formal events. Either shorts or long pants are okay (consider getting both), but in any case the official green socks should be worn also. The "Class B" uniform consists of our official troop t-shirt ($10) with scout pants. You should consider purchasing this as soon as possible prior to his first campout or Summer Camp. We wear these on hikes, at summer camp, during the day on campouts and at other "active" events. We wear the "Class A" uniform going to and coming from campouts. Your son's Webelos shirt will probably not fit him much longer and you may want to preserve his patches.It is recommended that he get a new shirt for a fresh start when he comes to Boy Scouts. The Troop will provide Custom troop numeral. He may also wear his Webelos "Arrow of Light" patch underneath his left pocket. REMIND YOUR SON TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS UNIFORM. It is his responsibility to make sure his uniform is clean, complete and up-to-date. Encourage him to take pride in his uniform. REMEMBER IF YOUR SON'S UNIFORM IS NOT IMPORTANT TO YOU, IT PROBABLY WILL NOT BE IMPORTANT TO HIM. |

Book Description:Before writing his award-winning Going After Cacciato, Tim O'Brien gave us this intensely personal account of his year as a foot soldier in Vietnam. The author takes us with him to experience combat from behind an infantryman's rifle, to walk the minefields of My Lai, to crawl into the ghostly tunnels, and to explore the ambiguities of manhood and morality in a war gone terribly wrong. Beautifully written and searingly heartfelt, If I Die in a Combat Zone is a masterwork of its genre.

You'd have to check exactly what your mobo will take, but increasing RAM is the most cost effective way to boost performance in rendering.

They say it's a man's world
Well, that cannot be denied
But what good's a man's world
Without a woman by his side
And so I will wait
Until that moment you decide
That I'm your man and you're my girl
That I'm the sea and you're the pearl
It takes two, baby, it takes two
A king ain't a king
Without the pow'r behind the throne
A prince is a pauper, babe
Without a chick to call his own
So please, darling, choose me
I don't wanna rule alone, tell me
I'm your king and you're my queen
That no one else can come between
It takes two, baby, it takes two
Don't you know, Lancelot had Guinevere
Mrs. Claus has old St. Nick
Romeo had Juliet
And Liz, well, she has her Dick
They say it takes two to tango
Well, that tango's child's play
So take me to the dance floor
And we'll twist the night away
Just like Frankie Avalon
Had his favorite mouseketeer
I dream of a lover, babe
To say the things I long to hear
So come closer baby
Oh, and whisper in my ear
Tell me, you're my girl and I'm your boy
That you're my pride and I'm your joy
I'm the sand and you're the tide
I'll be the groom if you'll be my bride
It takes two, baby, it takes two
It takes two, baby, it takes two

Blue Post regarding why MoP:
We've focused a lot on the lighter side of Mists of Pandaria as a contrast to the world-ending vibe of Cataclysm. It's not all unicorns and butterflies however. There are dark secrets lurking beneath the new continent, and in some ways they're even more insidious, because you get to experience the beautiful new landscapes before they become threatened and sometimes even destroyed.

Question from The_Pastmaster
Asked: 5 years ago
How do I increase my carry weight with the console?
I want to increase my carry weight (encumbrance) but I can't seem to get it to work. I have tried ModPCA, Player.ModAV, Player.ModPCA Encumbrance 500. The console doesn't complain but nothing happens. It's still at 200.
Top Voted Answer
From: Kadinga 5 years ago
I'd increase the Attribute Strength to something high, and level up once. Encumbrance becomes five times whatever your Strength is.
and like:
modpca strength 70
would add 70 strength onto whatever you are already at. With your total strength at 100, your Encumbrance should be 500.
Have fun.

COLUMBUS, Ga. – Columbus State scored multiple runs in four innings -- including nine in the fifth -- to defeat Tuskegee 17-1 in game two of a midweek series on Wednesday at Ragsdale Field.
CSU (14-15) picked up right where it left off from game one scoring three runs in the second inning. Back-to-back one-out singles put runners on the corners for Cameron Griffin who chased home Seth Corbitt with a sacrifice fly for the first run of the contest. After Kevan Dorsey stole second, Blake Edwards singled him home with a line drive single to rightfield. The final run of the frame came across via a wild pitch.
Two walks in the second helped create a run for the Cougars as Corbitt capitalized singling through the right side of the infield to make it a 4-0 ballgame.
Tuskegee (8-16) scored their lone run of the day in the fourth inning as Carson Summers walked to lead off the inning. After a sacrifice bunt, Alexander Henderson doubled down the leftfield line scoring Summers.
The Cougars came right back in the fourth scoring a pair of runs. With the bases loaded, Cameron Scott grounded out bringing home J.D. Pullen who reached base on an infield hit. Brett Teschner followed with a sacrifice fly.
CSU exploded in the fifth scoring nine runs to break the game open. The first eight hitters reached base safely including Ryan Lewis who doubled to leftfield that drove in a pair of runs. An error on a fielder's choice allowed two runs to score before Dorsey struck for a run scoring single to leftfield. Edwards capped off the scoring with a sacrifice fly that made the score 15-1.
Columbus State added two more in the sixth as Scott led off with a double followed by a Hunter Bowling single up the middle. Jimmy Obermark drove in his lone run of the game during the next at-bat as he drove a ball into the outfield bringing in Scott for a sacrifice fly. Griffin brought home the final run of the game as he laced a single through the left side of the infield.
In all, CSU recorded 15 hits with five players notching multi-hit performances. Kevan Dorsey was 3-for-5 with a RBI and a run scored while Seth Corbitt was a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs scored and drove in another. Cameron Scott drove in two more runs and Ryan Lewis went 2-for-3 with two runs scored and two RBIs.
Despite just one official at-bat, Brett Teschner saw his hitting streak end at 14 games. He was 0-for-1 with a sacrifice fly and a walk.
Martin Castro (1-1) recorded his first victory of the season for Columbus State pitching five solid innings. He allowed just one run on two hits while striking out five. Jordan Villhauer and Hart Mizell each struck out the side in their lone innings.
For Tuskegee, Alexander Hamilton was 1-for-3 with a double and a RBI while Gene Moody recorded one hit in three at-bats.
Jonathan Allen was hit with the loss pitching four innings allowing six runs on six hits. He issued five walks.
Columbus State will now turn its attention to Peach Belt Conference foe Flagler as the Saints head to Columbus for a three-game series beginning on Friday. First pitch is set for 6:00 p.m. ET at Ragsdale Field.

Hi guys,
Got an email from one of the parents asking if he could have his daughters school pop3 and server settings etc.. When asked why, he just said that his daughter is at an impressionable age and wants to monitor what she is doing on there.
I asked if he was going to let his daughter know, and he said no (as that would negate the whole point obviously). I personally don't feel too happy about it. I queried with SLT and they were also dubious, the CPO wasn't too happy either.
What do you guys think? Morally and legally, where do we stand?
Cheers guys - a real help

In many cases the ventures add value to commodities through processing. In other instances the value has been enhanced by assuring end users the crops have been grown a certain way. Identify-preserved grains and oilseeds promise characteristics desirable to processors. Meats may be desirable to consumers if they are certified as hormone and antibiotic free. Organic fruits and vegetables typically merit higher prices.
Another important and readily deployable strategy to add value is identifying to consumers who the producer is. Indeed, meeting that simple demand is fueling an important trend in the American food economy.
For much of the last decade the popularity and number of farmers markets have grown steadily. Latest USDA figures reveal there are now 3,137 such markets operating in the U.S. That a 79 percent increase in the last 8 years. During that period the number of farmers who sell at these markets tripled to 67-thousand.
On average about three million Americans a week now buy fresh food directly from the people who grew it. Sales through farmers markets last year totaled more than a billion dollars.

For my own purposes I label the receivers accordingly:
X = Demaryius Thomas
Y = The TE (usually Julius Thomas) When there is more than one TE, every TE will be marked as "Y"
A = Wes Welker
Z = Eric Decker
RB = whoever the back is
If there is a substitution (say Bubba Caldwell), he will be labeled according to the player he is replacing. Remember, I'm keeping it uniform so the information is simple to understand. As far as breaking down the distribution, I will count the TE whether he is inline or split wide. For example 1x3 (X)-(Y)(A)(Z). would hold true if Julius Thomas was next to Orlando Franklin or split wide, doesn't matter. Just like reading a book we read the formation from left to right from Peyton Manning's point of view.
I'm also going to identify the coverage in the secondary as well as the route or concept that was used.
Read It
TD #12 - 13 Yards Julius Thomas - 2x3 (RB)(Y)-(A)(Z)(X) - Cover 1 - Pick (slant/out)
We have a couple of concepts at play here. The one at the bottom of the screen where we have a trio of WR's is designed to clear the field for Demaryius Thomas to run a short crossing route over the middle. Welker runs a vertical, Decker an out, and with the off man coverage from DT's defender leaves the crosser wide open for a first down on 3rd and 4. But on the other side we have a much more favorable and intriguing situation.
The man lined up across from Julius (Y) is showing very funky inside leverage. Why is this funky? Because the OLB behind him is lined up to the inside. If he were covering Julius he would be closer to center or even with slight outside leverage knowing there was some help to the inside. This alerts Peyton that he will be blitzing. Now with the blitz that leaves the OLB lined up deep and to the inside to cover Julius. Moreno on the outside is going to run a quick slant bringing his man with him and clearing that side of the field for Julius' out to the flat. The OLB has no shot at preventing the reception, is too slow to keep with Julius, and finally takes a bad angle.
TD #13 - 7 Yards Wes Welker - 1x3 (Y)-(A)(X)(A) - Man - Pick (corner/flat)
Here we have a bunch formation to the right. It is man coverage with Decker's man playing off. DT's man is showing press man, and the corner across from Welker (A) is going to blitz leaving the safety with this responsibility. This is terrible call by the defense with what the Broncos are showing. You are essentially leaving Welker uncovered. If he has an option route, do you ever see him engaging that defender over the middle? Of course not, he's going to go where there is space.
Remember by NFL rules, receivers are allowed to block within one yard of the LOS. This is what Demaryius is going to do. He is going to drive his man then feign a route by squatting short. In reality he is just clearing things out for Welker to hit the flat. Decker's assignment is easy. Corner fade which brings the off corner with him, leaving the flat completely wide open for Wes.
I have no idea why teams insist on blitzing a corner against the Broncos. I cannot recall an instance in which they got there. Could have happened, but I don't remember. What I remember most of the time is that tactic leaving a safety deep against Julius Thomas. Here it ensures that the safety cannot come over and make the play on Wes.
TD #14 - 1 Yard Demaryius Thomas - 3x1 (Y)(Y)(Y)-(X) - Man - Corner Fade
If you ever see this formation and defensive alignment expect to see the corner fade. The Broncos are using heavy personnel with 3-TE's. Originally I believe you had a 1x3 alignment and there was a shift to bring two of the TE's back to the left side. All Peyton has to see are 10 men in the box with Demaryius Thomas singled up. He will take DT one on one any day of the week.
The DB actually has good leverage slight to the outside. Demaryius is just quicker off the snap and stronger in the upper body. He uses his left hand to gain a bit of separation. Finally, Manning drops the ball into a spot as if he were using a 64 degree wedge near the green. That sucker comes straight down over the top, beautiful touch.
TD #15 - 15 Yards Demaryius Thomas - 3x1 (X)(Z)(A)-(Y) - Zone - WR Screen
Trips formation to the right. There are two defenders way off the LOS with a LB closer. The LB is going to blitz essentially leaving a 3 on 2 in favor of the Broncos. Chris Clark gets the key block sealing off the DB closest to the action, Welker gets a key block down the field close to the goalline, and Decker seals off the final man giving Demaryius an easy path to the endzone. I love watching these screens develop.
TD #16 - 4 Yards Wes Welker - 2x1 (Z)(Y)-(X) - Zone/Man - Flats
We see a new wrinkle from the Bronco offense. Wes Welker is lined up in the backfield to the right of Manning along side Hillman who is on the left. This concept is flats. Both players in the backfield will run a flat pattern to their respective sides. The Eagles are playing a combination of zone and man coverage. To the left of the formation, Decker is lined up wide and then brought close and stacked behind Julius. He will run a drag route to the middle. The linebacker to that side will chip him before getting into a zone in the flat. If you look at the initial alignment, the Eagles are really cognizant of Julius Thomas and their goal here is to end up bracketing him inside and out. This bracket also helps double cover both Julius Thomas and Eric Decker. Julius will run to the corner but he is well covered. Hillman actually is wide open as well, Manning could easily have dropped the ball over the linebacker, but he looks towards Wes Welker right away.
On this side of the formation Demaryius will run straight to clear out the flat. The corner to the right of the end is who is matched up with Welker, and he makes one mistake--he squares up. He is dead meat when he does this because Welker busts out of the backfield like a bat out of hell and quickly works into his break to the flat. Welker's own effort is what gains him separation. Welker probably runs the hardest of all the Broncos receivers right from the snap.
TD #17 - 4 Yards Julius Thomas - 2x2 (Z)(Y)-(A)(X) - Shuffle Pass
The coverage here doesn't matter, even though it is man on the outside. The fact that there are 6 men in the box does. Peyton audibled into this play after recognizing the light box. Including Moreno, the Broncos would have 6 blockers on 6 defenders. But the design of the play is going to neutralize one of the rushers without having to devote a blocker to him. RT Franklin is going to crash down on the Guard in a tandem block with Louis Vasquez, which will leave the DE unblocked. Doesn't matter. At the snap Julius comes across the formation as Manning shuffles a few steps to his right, and as soon as the end gets there BOOM, pitched to Thomas. Also at the snap Beadles pulls around and both he and Moreno are able to seal off Sean Lee. The Franklin/Vasquez tandem block works beautifully even when Franklin gets a hook on the LB on the "2nd level". Julius Thomas has a clear path to the endzone, great design and execution.
TD #18 - 2 Yards Eric Decker - 3x1 (X)(A)(Y)-(Z) - Corner Fade
Man coverage, same concept as the Thomas corner fade except Manning makes it a back shoulder throw. On the other side of the play, looks like Welker has an option route and eventually works his way outside. Demaryius runs a quick slant and probably has a touchdown as well, but Manning looks towards Decker all the way. Knowshon makes a great blitz pickup on the LB and puts him on his ass. Decker shows great technique from the snap with a quick jab step that sets up his break to the corner. He keeps his head on a swivel and puts himself in great position to make a play on the ball.
TD #19 - 9 Yards Julius Thomas - 3x1 (Z)(X)(A)-(Y) - Cover 2 - Slant
Cover 2 man under with off coverage on the outside. Decker runs a corner fade, Demaryius and Welker run short curls, and the money man Julius Thomas runs a quick slant. He hesitates for a brief moment before making the step into the slant and with the off coverage it gives him just enough room to turn upfield and run. The safety is late getting over. Welker's defender tries to bait Manning by showing a blitz presnap before jumping back into coverage. Quick throw and an example of just what a weapon Julius is. When you have a man that size that can work the slant route against a safety, game over.
TD #20 - 2 Yards Wes Welker - 2x2 (X)(Y)(Z)-(A) - Man - Whip
You see this concept all the time. I see a lot of TE's run this route, I see Darren Sproles of the Saints run the route near the goalline, it's money. A whip route can be inside-out or outside-in. The receiver will start one way, then pivot back the other direction. The change of direction is instantaneous and creates separation. With quick speedy guys like Wes, corners have no shot at staying with it. With larger guys like TE's, it gives them leverage with their large frames even if they don't gain that separation a fast speedy guy might.
Wes is stacked behind Decker and will go outside-in. With the frequency the Wes runs those flat routes, it is a perfect concept to take advantage of that tendency. Wes even has to wait a split second for the pass to get there but his break is so fantastic he has plenty of space.
TD #21 - 2 Yards Julius Thomas - 1x2 (Y)-(Y)(Y) - None - Playaction/Decoy
The Broncos go big with a 23 personnel. Mitch Unrein plays fullback here along with Knowshon in an offset I formation. Dreessen is tight left and Virgil Green and Julius Thomas are tight right with JT on the outside. The Jaguars are going to blitz the backside which is a good tactic as a safeguard against the bootleg. I think I remember Peyton Manning bootlegging maybe once in his two years here so it really isn't a concern in this case.
Regardless, the flow of the play gets everyone moving to the right. Manning fakes it to Moreno who cuts back to the middle. Julius Thomas is going to chip the inside shoulder of the rushing linebacker before blowing past him around the edge to the back of the endzone. Mitch Unrein misses the linebacker and Peyton lets it go early before getting creamed by the blindside rusher.
The linebackers that flowed playside as it developed lost track of Knowshon Moreno behind the massive wall of beef. You can see in each frame how their eyes are still in the backfield trying to decipher what is going on there. When the remaining backer to the outside catches a flash of Thomas rushing past him, it is far too late.
I call this a decoy concept because I would put it into the same category of plays when a TE or T eligable fakes a cut block or goes to the ground to escape attention only to pop back up and run free and clear because the defense lost track of him. Julius played the role of blocker first and foremost and continued the story that the personnel, alignment, and fake had painted.
TD #22 - 20 Wes Welker - 1x3 (Y)-(Z)(A)(X) - Cover 2 Zone - Fake WR Screen
Remember the play that got all the attention the past couple of days because it may have been a lateral thus negating 7 of Peyton Manning's passing yards on Sunday? Well this is it. Decker originally comes in motion from the left. At the snap Peyton Manning fakes the short swing pass to Decker. this occupies all the DB's to that side. Demaryius blows by on a go route, Welker's man flows toward Decker who has continued to run parallel to the LOS. Welker gives his man a check and turns upfield on a go. The Jags are in cover 2 so there is a safety on the backend. He is frozen by the pump fake and gets moving a bit late. When he does, the angle is poor and Welker plows into the endzone. Demaryius Thomas was wide open as well. Peyton went with the easier throw and trusted Welker to make a play in space.

We saw a bit of a shift especially against Dallas from combo routes to more of a one on one matchup approach near the goalline. More fades, the Whip route by Welker, the Slant by JT, or the shuffle pass. We saw some more deception in that regard and even some varied personnel and usage of them. This was a pretty exciting stretch of touchdown passes to analyze, can't wait to see what the next batch has to offer. Hope you enjoyed it folks, #23-33 are coming soon.

"Excellent quality and functionality at a premium price."
4.5 starson by Dave DugalPros: Beautiful sound quality. Easy to install and use. Elegant enclosure.
Cons: A bit on the expensive side.
Summary: After receiving the Squeezebox as a Christmas present, I was immediately impressed with the heft and finish of the unit. Powering the unit up, it immediately found my Wi-Fi network, prompted me for a WEP key and obtained an IP address.
I'm still fighting with the Windows-based audio file-serving software (perhaps 5000+ MP3s is too much), but the ability to stream Internet radio, Rhapsody, Pandora, Live365, and just about every streaming audio feed on the 'Net makes it worth the price of admission.
It has both coax and optical digital audio output as well as Burr-Brown DACs feeding a pair of RCA audio connectors. This is a high quality piece of audio equipment. The gloss black finish perfectly matches my Pioneer Elite HDTV and Sonus-Faber Grand Piano speakers, and the florescent display can be easily read from 12+ feet away.
Only the steep price tag keeps me from giving this unit a perfect 10/10.

Whole Fish Baked in a Salt Crust
From: Cooking with Jamie
Now don't panic at the sound of this—you don't actually eat any of the salt! The idea is that you encase the fish in damp salt before putting it in the oven. During cooking, the salt dries out again, forming a hard crust right around the fish, meaning that all the moisture is kept inside the fish as it cooks. After cooking, the crust breaks away in big pieces and you're left with a really juicy fish to eat. Using a bit of egg white and water to moisten the salt helps keep the crust in bigger, easier-to-handle pieces. Servings: Serves 2
IngredientsWhole Fish Baked in a Salt Crust
DirectionsPreheat the oven to 400°. Whisk the egg whites to soft peaks and stir into the salt. Add a few tablespoons of water and mix until the salt is damp throughout but not wet. Pack half of your salt into the bottom of a baking dish, making a layer about 1/ 2-inch thick. Rub your fish all over with olive oil and stuff each cavity with a few rosemary and thyme sprigs. Don't go overboard with the rosemary though as it can dominate the flavor of the fish. Lay the fish on top of the salt and completely cover it with the rest of the salt, patting it down and patching it in places where you can still see bits of the fish skin. If your roasting pan seems a little too small to hold both fish, don't worry. You can leave the head and tail sticking out of the salt at either end; it's the body of the fish that needs to be buried.
Put the fish into the preheated oven. A couple of 1 lb. 2 oz. fish, as here, need about 20 minutes; for a 2 lb. fish, you'll need to give it 30 to 35 minutes. Once cooked, remove from the oven, take the tray to the table and let the fish rest—for a couple of minutes for a small fish and up to 10 minutes for a larger fish. To serve, crack the salt crust open and brush any excess salt away. Remove the herbs from the insides of each fish, then peel the skin off the body,leaving it on at the head and tail. Fish cooked in this way is always best served with simple sides (or side dishes) like salads (shaved fennel salad is particularly good), spinach or braised zucchini. This recipe is taken from Cook with Jamie by Jamie Oliver (Hyperion). © Jamie Oliver, 2007 Published on January 04, 2011

41. Erik Satie
French pianist and composer of the 20th century particularly known for his piano music. His works, such as the soothing "Gymnopedie No. 1," remains very popular to this day. Satie has been described as eccentric and is said to have become a recluse later in his life.43. Aleksandr Scriabin
Russian composer and pianist of the 20th century most known for his symphonies and piano music that were influenced by mysticism and philosophical ideas. His works include the "Piano Concerto," "Symphony No. 1," "Symphony No. 3," "Poem of Ecstasy" and "Prometheus."44. Dmitry Shostakovich
20th century Russian composer especially noted for his symphonies and string quartets. Sadly, he was one of the great composers from Russia who was artistically stifled during the reign of Stalin. His "Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District" initially received acceptance but was later denounced due to Stalin's disapproval of the said opera.45. Karlheinz Stockhausen
Karlheinz Stockhausen was an influential and innovative German composer and educator of the 20th and early 21st century. He was the first to compose music from sine-wave sounds. Stockhausen experimented with tape recorders and electronic instruments.46. Igor Stravinsky
Russian composer of the 20th century who introduced the concept of modernism in music. His father, who was one of the foremost Russian operatic basses, was one of Stravinsky's main influences. Stravinsky was discovered by Sergei Diaghilev, the producer of the Ballet Rouse. Some of his famous works are "The Firebird," "The Rite of Spring" and "Oedipus Rex."

According to several reports (but yet unconfirmed by the Spurs), the San Antonio Spurs today have traded Bruce Bowen, Fabricio Oberto and Kurt Thomas to the Milwaukee Bucks in exchange for Richard Jefferson.
The first story I have seen about this is from WOAI, so that is the story I will link you to.
According to WOAI, the trade won't be made official until later today. Jefferson has two years remaining on his contract, while all three traded players are only signed for the upcoming year.
What do you think of this trade? If you are sad to see the players go and want to wish them well, you can send a message on Twitter via @Bowen12 or @obricio7

This is a really good tab book. It includes lyrics along with the actual notes. The solos are all included and I use it daily to play along with my favorite black sabbath songs.Great product.
