What would cause a layer manager to NOT be updated after code has been run to freeze or thaw layers in a viewport? After I run my program, the viewports will show the layers I want thawed and will hide the layers I want frozen, but when you look at the layer manager, it would show all layers are on and thawed.
If you save the drawing, close it and re-open it, the layer manager now seems fine and matches the viewports as to what is thawed and what is frozen.
I would appreciate any info on what would cause this. Also, I can post my code if interested.
can you past your code ?
Have you commit your transaction ?
Try adding a new layer and see what happens
Hi Jeff, check my post at http://www.theswamp.org/index.php?topic=42239.new#
Ok, just installed the Service Pack 2 for AutoCad 2010. That fixed the Layer Manager freeze/thaw issue.

Documentaries or propaganda?
| Mar 19, 2007
IN CASE YOU haven't noticed, documentaries are hot. No longer the domain of university film leagues and vintage un-P.C. jokes — "How many lesbians does it take to screw in a light bulb? One to turn the bulb and 20 to make a documentary about it" ...

I am a big guy 6'2½", with a bellowing, alarming voice, born 1948-02-04, with hair like Doc in Back To The Future, only brown. I have a clumsy lurching gate caused by neuropathy and back trouble. I feel embarrassed about my appearance, and so usually avoid appearing in public.

nickname: Roedy which rhymes with Cody, pronounced Rho-Dee accent on the first syllable. This is a nickname derived from Munroe, my school days name.
nome de plume: Gaius. Gaius speaks for planet earth, through me as a channel and translator. Transcribing Gaius's thoughts is much like playing charades. The name Gaius is rich with associations in the Pagan, Roman and Christian traditions.
I also work on a hourly basis for consulting, brainstorming, coaching, trouble shooting etc. Again, there my rate is based on your ability to pay and how valuable the work is to the planet. I usually charge charities per hour, individuals per hour and businesses per hour.
This includes in roughly descending order: Ending the Iraq war. Removing Republicans from power. Protecting the environment. Fair treatment of the third world. Relaxing the taboos that are holding our populations too high. Communication with cetacea and other animals including humans. Pranging (stunts that break people's conditioned patterns or addictions). Writing essays. Frogs. Africa. Tropical reefs.
My whole life, starting in childhood has been mainly about various causes: in roughly the chronological order they came to my attention:
The idea of Dvorak is the most common characters are in your home row, and the least common in the bottom row. I could not touch type QWERTY without severe wrist pain. With DSK (Dvorak Standard Keyboard) I can type for hours a day at up to 100WPM (Words Per Minute) 8 CPS (Characters Per Second) without discomfort.
I love watching Takahiko Kozuka and Jeffrey Buttle skate. I find most figure skating too campy.
Oddly one of my favourite TV Shows is targeted at pre-schoolers. I still have a television, but I canceled HDTV (High Definition Television) cable service, disgusted with the overall quality of programming. It is called The Backyardigans. It is about five cartoon animals, Tyrone a laid-back moose, Austin a shy kangaroo, Pablo an excitable penguin, Uniqua a feminist pink spotted animal, and Tasha a slightly bossy yellow hippopotamus. They have adventures of imagination in their common backyard. Watching this show puts a huge smile on my face and a generates a gentle euphoria. Part of what pleases is that I thoroughly approve of this show to indoctrinate the young. Its characters are curious, kind, considerate, positive and supportive — excellent role models. Each episode highlights a different musical genre with amusing original singable songs, a song parody and some simple dances. The 3D animation is smooth and at times super real, e.g. moving water, or tiny horses, with plenty of loving detail. The actors who do the voices are reasonably accomplished child singers. This show does not patronise kids with silly, pretending-to-be-stupid, shrill adults masquerading as children.
It is not important that you agree, but that you think the issues on this website through for yourself. I'm often wrong and I'm eager to hear the correct answers.
I am Canadian, so I naturally use ou spellings like honour. People still mistake me as American, so I have affected some ise rather than ize British spellings as well to emphasise that I am not American.

How Spindrift Makes Natural Sodas Without High Fructose Corn Syrup (It's Harder Than You Think)
Sugary drinks are a real problem, but alternatives are hard to make.
Step 1
Find the freshness
It took nearly a year for Creelman to figure out how to flavor the soda--mostly hunting down places whose nectar qualifies as FDA-certified fresh. "There are plenty of people who make fresh-squeezed juice on a small scale," says Creelman. "But it was next to impossible to find anyone who sold it on a commercial scale." He stitched together four suppliers, including one that ships weekly from India.
Step 2
Look for cold storage
Many facilities can brew a new soda, but few have the on-site refrigeration that Creelman's fresh juice needed. (And why would they? Concentrates in most sodas can stay at room temperature for months.) It took him weeks to find a facility with a big fridge--and then he lost the contract after the first batch, when gobs of pulpy fruit stalled production lines.
Step 3
Recruit mixing manpower
At a new facility in central Massachusetts, Creelman honed production. Then he discovered another problem: Temperature-sensitive juices can't sit out in vats the way syrups can. They have to be delivered in one-gallon plastic jugs, stored properly, and then opened at the last minute to be added and mixed by hand. That means a lot of costly manpower goes into every batch.
Step 4
Send with the fish
Bottles were tough to send to stores because most soda distributors don't ship cold. (Again, why would they? Normal soda easily ships warm, and big juice companies have their own trucks.) So Creelman found distributors of fish, produce, and cheese willing to take his bottles to more than 200 retailers. "Without exception, our distributors have no prior experience with beverages," says Creelman.
Step 5
Follow the trail
Some shops aren't used to ordering soda through a fish distributor, so Creelman has to travel and explain the process in person. This was initially a hassle, but Creelman now feels fortunate: Unlike typical biweekly beverage distribution, fresh distributors deliver daily, allowing them to quickly spot and respond to problems. "The fresh distributors are the key to our success," says Creelman.

The Indiana Pacers continue to roll along atop the Eastern Conference while various other contenders deal with injuries as the wear and tear of the regular season starts to make an impact. The Pacers have to look no further than their next opponent, the Brooklyn Nets, to see how injuries can upset a strong roster and send the season into a tailspin before it even gets going.
The Pacers only significant injury news has been of the good variety (please find a chunk of wood and knock two or three times) with the return of Danny Granger. George Hill has a nagging hip injury that occasionally causes problems, but other than that, the Pacers are in good shape.
They even extended their Eastern Conference lead while not playing the past four games after the Sacramento Kings rose up and beat the Miami Heat in overtime. The Heat left it up to LeBron James to do the heavy lifting with Dwyane Wade, Ray Allen and Birdman Andersen taking the night off. After the loss, LeBron complained of a groin strain which makes him questionable for their game tonight at Portland.
Frank Vogel has been able to manage the minutes for key players, riding the young legs of Paul George and Lance Stephenson the most while picking his spots to rest David West and Roy Hibbert. That is all part of the regular season grind, finding ways to manage the mileage on the roster while still winning games.The Pacers and their training staff have made all the right moves so far and need to continue taking advantage while other teams work through their injury issues.
Also, Andrew Bynum is suddenly a wild card in the league, having worn out his welcome in Cleveland to the point he may be moved to a contending team that could re-ignite his passion for the game. Oh, brother.

Quality Reporting is Not Free!
"I subscribed to HCN for a number of years, loved every issue...I stopped subscribing because my work load escalated. It was ok the first few months but after six months I was regretting the decision...the relevance of HCN did not diminish. I continued to look at the enticing titles of articles in the online newsletter but couldn't read enough to satisfy the craving. So I'm back. I also kicked in another 50 bucks as a personal reminder that quality reporting is not free."

HCN in the outhouses of the West
From my Alaska trip: I flew into a small town that is not reachable by road, then hopped on a motorboat and drove across lakes and rivers for 2.5 hours to reach the scientists' camp way out in the boondocks -- out there they have a few rough cabins and a generator that makes electricity only in the evening and two outhouses -- and lo and behold, for reading material in the outhouses they have issues of the Economist magazines and HCN -- amazing to discover HCN readers way out there!

Since at least the time of the Old Testament and ancient Greece, men have sought to understand human nature by discerning the things that differentiate human beings. What accounts for the variety in human customs, practices, opinions, habits, and virtues? And what may we learn about ourselves, and about human nature more generally by uncovering the source of these differences?
In the Old Testament, of course, the fundamental distinction between all peoples is that between pagans and the Children of Israel. The gulf between the followers of the God of Abraham, and those who follow other gods, is at the heart of the multitude of lesser differences in beliefs and practices.
Among the Greeks, there were two schools of thought on the question. Aristotle and other followers of Socrates thought the source of variations among human beings lay in the character shaped by different forms of government or "regimes." For Aristotle, a regime was the arrangement of offices and honors in response to three questions: "who rules?," "for the good of whom?," and "to what end?" From these questions, each regime can be seen to have a central principle or idea (arche) to which it is devoted, and which determines the understanding of what makes a good citizen. Every regime, then, serves a different purpose and fosters a particular kind of human being by consciously encouraging certain habits and discouraging others.
This was in contrast to an earlier view, promulgated by the historian Herodotus, which attributed the diversity of customs and opinions to broad "civilizational" variations among, for instance, Greeks, Egyptians, Persians, and Scythians. These civilizations transcended particular political units; they were defined, rather, by a trans-political culture, closely associated with a common language, and often with a common race or "ethnicity."
With the end of the Cold War, there has been renewed interest in the question of what accounts for variations in the human condition as people around the world reexamine, and in some cases reinvent, their political systems. In his influential essay, "The Clash of Civilizations," Harvard political scientist Samuel Huntington provided a Herodotean response to this question. He identified seven or eight distinguishable "civilizations," clashes among which, he argues, will replace the political, ideological, and spatial conflicts of the past. Huntington's provocative thesis has generated a great deal of debate.
Angelo Codevilla, a senior fellow of The Claremont Institute, offers a challenge to Huntington's thesis in his important new book, The Character of Nations: How Politics Makes and Breaks Prosperity, Family, and Civility. Playing Aristotle to Huntington's Herodotus, Codevilla stresses the importance of the regime in shaping human character and activity. While Codevilla stipulates the fundamental importance of civilizations in creating differences among human beings, he contends that "within the bounds set by any given civilization, the various broad categories of regimes tyranny, the several kinds of oligarchy, and democracy have peculiar effects on the capacity of people to be prosperous and civil, to live spiritually meaningful lives in families, free from foreign domination."
Codevilla, who teaches international relations at Boston University, seeks to answer two questions. First, what is the impact of political choices on a people's character, especially their capacity to be productive, happy (in the Aristotelian sense) citizens. Second, in light of the answer to the first question, what will become of America?
To answer these questions, he divides his book into three parts. The first part deals with regimes in general. Following Aristotle, he describes a regime as the "arrangement of offices and honors that fosters a particular complex of ideas, loves, hates, and fashions that sets standards for adults and aspirations for children." For Codevilla, a regime is more than the arrangement of constitutions and laws; it includes those opinion-makers in and out of government who create society's standards.
Regimes are important because they encourage certain habits that shape the character of their people. A regime can habituate a people to virtue or vice. Indeed, until this century, "political science" was primarily concerned with how to structure the regime in order to foster appropriate character traits in the light of given circumstances.
The second part of the book examines a number of regimes and their different impacts on the economic, civic, familial, spiritual, and military habits of those who live under them. Arguing that it is necessary to contemplate the truly awful in order to understand the good, Codevilla begins with an examination of the now-defunct Soviet regime, and its impact on prosperity and civility. When one considers what nearly seven decades of Soviet rule did to the Russian soul, it is no wonder that attempts to liberalize Russia continue to founder. The consequences of the war launched by the Soviet regime against the family, against religion, and against the habits that foster prosperity will affect Russia for a long time to come.
Codevilla also looks at other regimes, e.g. Sweden, Japan, China, Western Europe, Mexico, and Chile. He concludes that although none have gone as far as the Soviet Union did, most have undermined prosperity and civility by discouraging the habits that underpin them. In his survey, Codevilla confirms the Aristotelian point that regimes have the capacity for both good and ill.
In the third part of the book, Codevilla examines how changes in the way Americans are governed have affected the way they live. His conclusions are sobering:
It is not necessary to protract the list of contrasts to see that our lives today differ more from those of Americans one generation ago than they differ from those of our contemporaries in western Europe. In short, we have changed enough to change countries....Since we are continuing to change, a generation from now we might well live in yet another kind of country.
By looking at changes in America, Codevilla makes clear what Aristotle meant when he observed that the very same country could be one thing before a political change and something entirely different afterward. This phenomenon is given poignant expression by a statement of Justice Antonin Scalia from Romer v. Evans that Codevilla uses as the epigraph to his introductory chapter: "Day by day, case by case [the Supreme Court] is busy designing a Constitution for a country I do not recognize."
To convey the scope of the regime changes that the United States has undergone, Codevilla looks to Tocqueville. The original American regime was founded on the belief that mankind lives under a single set of God-given, objective laws equally binding on all. This regime understood the United States to be founded upon a small number of self-evident truths, which in turn gave rise to the Constitution and the spirit of American laws. This regime habituated Americans to making and respecting their own laws and made them wary of the notion that anyone, even the people as a whole, could exercise broad, ill-defined powers.
The original American regime stressed the inseparable nature of citizenship and the rule of law. Law and citizenship in turn were understood to be inextricably linked to property rights and local prerogatives. This regime also emphasized the importance of an armed citizenry and "citizen soldiers" in defending American liberties.
Perhaps most importantly, religion, which Tocqueville called the first of America's political institutions, pervaded all aspects of the regime. "The American people's love of liberty," writes Codevilla, "was anything but morally empty libertarianism. De Tocqueville explained that the American devotion to law and civic duty was a commitment to equality and to doing the right thing."
Contrast that regime to the present one. Today's government endorses activities that were once prohibited, e.g. abortion and homosexuality, and prohibits activities that were once promoted, e.g. public piety and chivalry. Government has "become the main weapon of those who want to denigrate and diminish the role of family and religion in American life." Indeed, it has driven religion out of almost all public spaces. It has fostered the view that all forms of human relationships are as equally valid as the natural family.
The current regime has deprived Americans of self-rule, and therefore citizenship, by empowering judges to legislate concerning whatever they choose. It has undermined the habits conducive to continued prosperity by the politics of redistribution, creating welfare dependence among the poor, "crony capitalism" among the rich, and a general attitude of exploiting the "system" for a free ride. Finally, it has driven a wedge between American society and the military that defends it.
Codevilla captures the essence of the differences between the two American regimes in a single amusing paragraph.
Were a time machine somehow to cause any community of the founders' generation magically to appear among us, contemporary American elites would surely find it in violation of the most basic laws of the land....They would find the founders' intolerance of pornography and their mixing of religion in public life in violation of the First Amendment, their treatment of criminals in violation of the Eighth. They would deem pathologically anarchic their tolerance of firearms and their distrust of government. The founders, for their part, would likely beat a hasty retreat to their time machine, pointing their muzzle loaders at the atheist, servile folks who had perverted their republic.
The Character of Nations is descriptive, not prescriptive. Additionally, Codevilla does not discuss in any detail the philosophic roots of America's regime transformation. For those who understand that the founding view was supplanted by the historicism and scientism of the Progressive movement around the turn of the century, these are not fatal shortcomings. But those who really need to read and understand this book would have been better served had Codevilla treated these matters more fully. Perhaps he will treat them in a subsequent volume.
The Character of Nations is a critically important book. It should puncture the complacency of those who think American prosperity and security are assured for all time. As Codevilla illustrates, we are living off the capital of an earlier regime. The current regime is creating individuals willing to abandon virtuous liberty for what Tocqueville called "soft despotism." Citizens relinquish vigorous self-government in favor of a state that "provides for [their] security, foresees and supplies their necessities, facilitates their pleasures, manages their principal concerns, directs their industry [and] spares them all the care of thinking and all the trouble of living." Consoled in the knowledge that they have chosen their own masters, the people regard liberty as nothing more than sexual license and instant gratification.
As the current regime habituates us to servility and concern for mere security, it makes it less likely that the American people will maintain the character necessary to weather future shocks. And history teaches us that these shocks are coming.

Pumping Up? How to Pick Your Protein Supplement
Pumping Up? How to Pick Your Protein SupplementOur protein supplement guide will help you excel on the court, in the gym, or on the roadIf you take your workouts seriously, nutrition should be top of mind too. Protein is a great place to start, and focusing on getting the right types of protein, in the right amounts, and at the right times is key. Our protein supplement guide will help you meet your wellness goals, potentially improving your performance on the court, in the gym, or on the road.What type?
Whey protein is quick to digest and provides all of the protein building blocks - the amino acids. Our bodies cannot make some amino acids, and whey is ideal for meeting essential amino acid needs. Whey also supplies branched-chain amino acids (BCAA), and some research supports that they aid muscle recovery after hard workouts.
Compared with whey, casein is slower to digest, and results in a lower, yet more prolonged rise in blood amino acid levels, which may provide a particular advantage for body builders. At least one study supports that casein outshines whey in terms of promoting strength and lean body mass gains in people following a structured weight-training plan.
Rice protein is less likely to create allergic reactions than other proteins, and it comes from a plant, making it appropriate for vegetarians. Another potential advantage is that rice protein contains a high proportion of arginine, an amino acid that can dilate blood vessels, possibly enhancing blood flow to muscles. Rice is not a "complete" protein however; it doesn't supply all of the essential amino acids. Some products combine rice protein with proteins from sources like soy or milk to make it complete.
Egg protein is ideal for people who are looking to build new muscle. It has a very high protein efficiency ratio (PER), which is one measure of how well our bodies can use any particular form of protein. The higher the PER, the more efficiently our bodies can use that protein when we eat it. Egg is off the charts in terms of PER. Egg protein also is a complete protein, and is a good source of essential and branched chain amino acids. Egg protein powder is made from egg whites, and comes in a convenient, pasteurized powder form.
Soy protein is a high-quality plant protein that provides all essential amino acids, making it a good option for vegetarians. For the body to best utilize soy protein, vegetarians should also eat grain or dairy within a few days. Soy protein comes in two basic forms: soy protein isolate and soy protein concentrate. Soy protein isolate is the most highly purified form, and has a minimum protein content of 90%. Soy protein concentrate contains more carbohydrates, and has a protein content of approximately 70%. Concentrates tend to cost a little less, but if you find soy protein concentrate doesn't agree with you, try isolate, which is easier for some people to digest.
How much?
With protein, as with many nutrients, more is not always better. According to Dr. Doug Paddon-Jones, Associate Professor at the University of Texas Medical Branch and Director of Exercise Studies, "30 grams of protein appears to stimulate maximum muscle synthesis. For athletes, each meal and snack is a chance to hit the 30 gram mark, giving your body several opportunities each day to maximize muscle growth and repair."
Another reason to spread protein evenly through the day is simple efficiency. "Given that your body won't use much beyond 30 grams of protein at a time, it doesn't make sense to load up with more than this," says Paddon-Jones.
- Breakfast-To support muscle building first thing in the morning, try trading traditional carb-heavy breakfast foods for more protein-rich options, such as a powder protein supplement mixed with milk and cereal.
- If you're heading into a long strength-training session-Sipping a casein-based protein supplement prior to and during your workout will give muscles sustained access to amino acids. If taken in the evening, casein can provide a steady supply of amino acids while you're sleeping.
- Immediately pre- or post-workout-Especially if your workout includes aerobic or circuit training, protein manufacturers recommend a whey protein-based liquid or powder supplement.

Lynyrd Skynyrd Bio
Legendary rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd returns with a fiery slice of Southern style guitar rock heaven in Last of a Dyin' Breed, their newest release on Roadrunner/Loud & Proud Records due August 21, 2012. This is the kind of record guaranteed to feed the needs of the multi-generational Skynyrd Nation, and continue the renewed vigor the band exhibited with their last album, 2009's God & Guns.
For the passionate, longtime fans of the band, this is Skynyrd at the top of their game, complete with instantly memorable songs, more hooks than a tackle box, and a blistering three-guitar attack at full power. From the raging guitars of the title track and the pounding, funky homage to local talent in "Home Grown" to the mind-blowing "Honey Hole," Lynyrd Skynyrd sound like young bucks having one hell of a good time, which, regarding the latter, founding member Gary Rossington says is very much the case.
"For me this is one of the happiest and most fun albums I've ever done," says Rossington. "We didn't have a lot of problems goin' on; it was just fun goin' to work every day."
Having survived enough tragedy and just plain hard miles for 10 bands, Skynyrd is, remarkably at this stage of their career, on a roll. God & Guns debuted at #18 on the Billboard Top 200, giving the band their highest debut since 1977. Last Of A Dyin' Breed re-ignites the in-studio alchemy the band found with Guns producer Bob Marlette, and the sound is traditional Skynyrd blended to perfection with the edge of immediacy. In short, it's rock 'n roll for the times.
Led by core members Gary Rossington (guitar), Johnny Van Zant (vocals) and Rickey Medlock (guitar), Skynyrd has recorded an album that continues to build on the legacy that began over 35 years ago in Jacksonville, Florida. Joining them in the studio and on the road are new bassist Johnny Colt (Black Crowes, Train) guitarist Mark "Sparky" Matejka (a "Nashville cat, just a pickin' fool," according to Rossington), and keyboardist Peter Keys, who replaced Powell on the God & Guns tour.
In a tragic tale oft-told, the Skynyrd story could have ended in a Mississippi swamp with the 1977 plane crash that killed three band members, including Ronnie Van Zant and Steve Gaines. Since then, the band has lost vital players in Billy Powell, Ean Evans, Allen Collins, Leon Wilkeson and Hughie Thomasson, yet here they are again with a hard-rocking, stirring album that can sit proudly alongside any recording that bears the Skynyrd name. The breed may be nearing extinction but Skynyrd is very much alive and ready to throw down.
Van Zant, now in his 25th year standing where his brother once stood agrees with Rossington about the making of Breed. "We worked with Bob Marlette again who's a great guy we just love as a producer," he says. "During the recording of the last album we were going through Billy and Ean passing away, and with this album we were able to laugh and joke a lot."
Medlock says that after the hard touring behind God & Guns he and the other primary writers Van Zant and Rossington took their time writing the songs. But the actual recording came together quickly, aided by the band's in-studio chemistry. "This time what we wanted to do was go back to doin' stuff old school," he says. "A lot of the album was done with all of us in the recording studio, playing all at one time, the way we used to do it when we'd go into the studio to make records."
With a catalog of over 60 albums, sales beyond 30 million worldwide and their beloved classic American rock anthem "Sweet Home Alabama" having sold over two million ringtones, Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Lynyrd Skynyrd remains a cultural icon that appeals to multiple generations. But far from resting on their laurels, any illusions that this may be a band at anything less than the height of its powers are quickly lost with the distorted fury of the fiery guitar licks that open the album's title track and further put to rest with the gritty triumphs that follow.
They could easily continue cranking out old songs to rapturous audiences around the world but the fact is they've got plenty left to say musically, personally and as social commentary. "Every once in a while the record label will ask us if we want to put a new album out and we always say yes, because, although we love playing all the classic stuff, it's fun to do new stuff too," says Rossington, "for our own heads, our own peace of mind."
Lynyrd Skynyrd is a band of today, carrying a steely mantle forged in the sweaty confines of the Hell House in Jacksonville decades earlier. And this is a band album, to be even more specific, a guitar driven band album. The triple guitar assault has never sounded more on point, with passionate musicality, expert harmonics and of course, plenty of attitude to burn. There's a reason this is one of the most beloved bands of all time.
"We tried to go back to the old sound, doin' it as a band, goin' in all together and layin' it down," says Rossington. "On the last album, we leaned a little more country, back to our roots, but this time we just tried to be our old selves and write some Southern rock. Just good ol' songs, get in and get out, say what they say, do a little bit of pickin' and tap your feet."
Those searching for traditional Skynyrd solos and fierce instrumental breaks will have plenty to love on Breed, with every song featuring ample fretwork from one, two or even all three guitarists. "We love to do the harmonies and stuff with lead guitars," says Medlock. "That's a Skynyrd staple, and we embellished on it quite a bit this time around. We wanted to make a guitar driven record and have the vocals sit really good in the saddle there with all the guitars, just have it more rockin' and a lot more powerful."
Mission accomplished, with plenty of fireworks and rock-solid rhythms from all players. "Sparky has just fit in great with Rickey and Gary, everybody knows their place now," says Van Zant. "Sparky's a strat guy, Gary's a slide guy with the Les Paul sound and all those great fills, and Rickey's the 'all-around' guy that does a little bit of everything."
But the guitars and other instruments—Keys' organ, for example, play a vital role in the soundscape. Van Zant's vocal chops and way with a lyric have never been in finer form, breathing life into these songs and taking on some serious vocal challenges. "I quit smokin' a year and a half ago, so that helped out quite a bit," he says with a characteristic laugh. "Workin' with Bob is great too. We cut the vocals right in the control room itself, which is real cool to me, because me and Bob go back and forth right there, so you're not waiting for a button to be pushed. It's just a real cool vibe. We've got a good thing goin' here."
They've got a good thing going in terms of material, too. The primary Skynyrd writing team of Rossington, Medlock and Van Zant worked with some of their favorite songwriters to pen the songs that populate Breed, including Tom Hambridge, Blair Daly, John 5, Donnie Van Zant, and Marlette, along with contributions from the bands Matejka, as well as Marlon Young, Audley Freed, Shaun Morgan from Seether, Cadillac Black's Jaren Johnston, and label mates Black Stone Cherry's Chris Robertson and Jon Lawhon.
The blend of writers from within and outside the band concocts a hard-hitting cadre of songs that fit perfectly into the Skynyrd canon. These songs are of the 100-proof variety. "We like bringing in outside influences and I love feeding off other people," says Van Zant. "I've had people ask me, 'how could Gary create another 'Free Bird?' We don't even try that. Those are legendary songs. We just write what we write. It's more about us just hangin' out and being together and enjoying life and writin' songs. My theory is like Ricky Nelson's, 'you can't please everyone, so you've got to please yourself.' If you're happy with it at the end of the day, so be it."
Not as overtly political as its predecessor God & Guns, Breed focuses more on the struggles of the working class, though the band make their thoughts on the direction of this country crystal clear on songs like the reverb-drenched "Poor Man's Dream" and the blue-collar powerhouse "One Day at a Time." "When we go in to record, we don't go in with one certain mindset," says Medlock. "We just go in and write about stuff we believe in, our experiences."
The band is tuned in to the tough times many Americans are going through, and they sing songs that might well help on that journey, or at least help let off some steam. "Skynyrd really thinks about how people are struggling and what's goin' on out here," says Medlock. "We see it a lot, because we're a working man and working woman's band. We've got three generations under our belts, we know people have a tough time out there, and we share in that."
Gary Rossington won't typically volunteer for political talk but he is an astute observer, and what he sees sticks in his craw. "I don't like to talk politics," he admits "I just don't trust a lot of politicians. I think the country's way off track, but we'll get it back on, it's too good of a thing to lose. We travel all around the country, there's too many good people and good Americans who all want the same thing, just to get back on track the way we used to be."
Like it or not, with a title like God & Guns, the previous album was bound to be a lightning rod out of the box. "I couldn't believe how well God & Guns was accepted when it came out, in Europe, Australia, South America, here in the States; everybody we talked to, 99% of it was positive feedback," says Medlock. "My whole thing was, we've got to go in the studio this time and step up, we've got to do at least what God & Guns did, or one better. And, in my opinion, I think we accomplished that. I'm looking forward to going out and playing some of this record live, along with our classic material, and taking it to the people and letting the people make their decision."
Odds are, the "people," specifically, the aforementioned Skynyrd Nation, will love Last of a Dyin' Breed, and anyone who hasn't checked into what this band has been up to for a while will likely be blown away. As for their part, Skynyrd will, per usual, indeed be taking their music to the people, as fans in Europe and North America will have a chance to catch the band on tour through the end of 2012 and beyond.

FT. CHISWELL, Va. —
Four of the five Black Diamond District football programs open post-season play this weekend in the Group A Western Section playoffs, with two on the road tonight and the other two at home on Saturday.
In Division 2 No. 16 Grundy is at No. 1 seed Fort Chiswell, while in Division 1 No. 11 Hurley is at No. 6 Rural Retreat. Also in D 1 No. 1 Honaker hosts No. 16 Patrick Henry and No. 6 Haysi hosts No. 11 Castlewood.
--Grundy (4-6) at Fort Chiswell (9-1); Friday, 7pm. Before the season Grundy expected to make a playoff run. By mid-season defensive struggles and five losses in a six games dashed the Golden Wave's hopes. An inspired 34-32 comeback win last week over interstate rival Mount View revived them.
Senior running back Nick Travis ran for 269 yards and five touchdowns and went over 1,000 yards rushing for the season against Mount View. Fort Chiswell is led by running back Daniel Hamm, who has rushed for 1,490 yards, totaled 2,037 all-purpose yards and scored 22 touchdowns this season.
"The last couple of weeks we've been able get our running game going better than we have all year," Grundy coach Jeremy Ward said. "As for our defense we have to contain Hamm and their quarterback (Brett Mabry)."
Hurley (6-4) at Rural Retreat (6-4); Friday, 7 p.m.
The Rebels won six of eight games after their 0-2 start and return to the playoffs with a huge offensive line and a deep set of runners led by Dillion Bailey, Nick Gibson, Ralph Jones and Traquan Oliver. Tyler Caudill is the feature back in the Rural Retreat offense, a workhorse who has rushed for over 1,500 yards this season.
"I think we match up with them pretty well," Hurley coach Greg Tester said. "They're big, but I think we maybe have a little size advantage on them. They don't so anything fancy. Caudill gets 20 to 25 carries a game, but he's a game-breaker. We've got to be able to slow them down, but if we can do that I like our chances."
Patrick Henry (2-8) at Honaker (9-1); Saturday, 1 p.m.
The Tigers routed a young Patrick Henry, 43-13, during the regular season and is heavily favored again Saturday. Honaker's defense got its second shutout of the season, in an impressive 21-0 win over Haysi.
That gave the Tigers, who are led by senior quarterback Ty Hall and a deep set of backs and receivers, an unprecedented third straight BDD title. "We have just have to stay with what got us here and take care of business," said Honaker coach Doug Hubbard, whose club has home field advantage through the state semifinals.
Castlewood (6-4) at Haysi (6-4); Saturday, 7 p.m.
This is a rematch of an earlier season game in which Haysi won, 28-14. Both teams lost district title games last week, including Castlewood's 15-12 heartbreaker against Eastside.
The Blue Devils, who are coached by former Grundy standout David Scammell, are led by 1,000-yard rusher Reid Edmonds.
Haysi has a balanced attack led by senior quarterback Zach Owens and junior tailback Jeffrey Bowen. Haysi, which had averaged 43.8 points in the five games before being shut out at Honaker, has to regroup, says head coach James Colley, in his 31st year at the Dickenson County school.
"We just have to go back to work," Colley said. "It'll be tough, just like the first time we played. We have to be ready to play."
