NAFC does a noteworthy job to mention catch and release often enough we all should practice it , at least have some restraint in what we do keep, and a few of the ones on the show ask not to target bass on beds so they can protect their young and add to the population. So i write this, after holding back a while to ask the NAFC upper people this. One , look at that stringer in the photo promoting the crappies after dark, even if there isnt a limit in whatever state that may be in for crappie , is that really promoting responcibility as a fisherman to have that many in a trip? Granted nobody knows how many anglers are splitting that count , i mean cmon. Yea i can imagine some if not most will be frozen, why not take less and come back for more when ya need?
Two , lets talk about that dont bother bass on beds, yet read february 2009 "Get the drop on cold bass" by Mark Hicks, the last paragraph on page 15 reads "One of the few times i want a slow fall is immediately after the spawn. Then I'll cast an unweighted Yum Dinger around cover where bass are guarding fry -Dave Wolak......
My take on that ,,, One , a touring bass pro, as stated in sentence one got that quoted in NAFC and it flew over top dog heads? Two , that really what being a pro about ? HERES TO BEIN A ROOKIE . Three, should continued pro sponcership be proper? Maybe we better make sure pros cant use dynamite as bait.
Yea i like the mag, i like Dr. Hal, Love the lindners, Hate the fact july august and septembers mags all roll into one, when i want and need you most. Not gonna boycott, but i would like some feedback on this stuff.
One last thing i'd like to say, i know all state fishing laws are different but does that make it ok to keep foul hooked fish? All personal opinion i'm sure, but the next time i see a "pro" keep a foul hooked fish i'ma start readin other state fishing laws because i've seen two different "pros" keep foul hooked , not gonna mention names , wont do any good to, but , i'm watching your shows still, but keep in mind a lot of people are watching, you could either set an example or realize you could be passing on bad habits unknowingly . I am still watching , i've seen 2 do it, (dont get me wrong , not seen on NAFC shows) and if i see it again, it's research time, and you two always state where your at and fishing laws of every state can probobly be found online, how bad would ya look if you was arrested for poaching? If you've read this far , thanks for the time, i love fishing, i think the Lindners are some of the best ever, Al amazes me and i would provide him my float tube anyday. Maybe even the one with the fish finder in it.
Crappie are prolific spawners, bass are not. It's totally different to release bass and keep a few than to take a stringer of Crappie or Bluegill.
Also, it's okay to fish for bass on beds, but to release them back into the water quickly.
Ok so you think a touney angler releases his bed bound bass back right away? i'm not out to rip on anyone and i do apologize for sounding so negative , it just seems with the threats to our species (vhs, exotic species ) shouldnt we be a little more careful? Arent anglers all about one thing overall, the fish? If we dont take it upon ourselves, then who will, who should ? The government? We should be responcible anglers, take and take carefully , and at the same time, protect . My major point is the facct this magazine, which i think is great , published the tourney anglers words of how he takes bass from beds, and being a tourney angler, you know that fish did not get released in the same area, nor did it get released in time to get back and save any of its fry. Things do happen to fry, but should it happen due to an angler? Yes we all want to catch fish, and yes we all have the option to take that fishes life for a meal, but imagine the damage done to smaller bodies of water by just one person if they, say , harvest the limit every night for a year, nobody can argue impact that would have on the fishing. I guess coming from a small town with small reservoirs and high level of pressure, with no restocking , my concerns can vary greatly from someone fishing on a very large lake . Yea i can travel to better places, do i want to? NO not really, i want great action everywhere, from bass to crappie to cats. At this time i do want to apologize again for sounding so negative from the previous post. Thanks for reading this . The Lindners all rock by the way, Hank Parker too.
I do want to mention the last "Hunt for big game fish" with Larry Dahlberg, where the guide he has tells him how many bodies are dumped in tthat river each year, and yet took the time to wet his hands before handling larry's catch, Ever see houston do that , or dance when he pats their big ol bellies or when houston kisses em, pfft . I like dance but i still wonder why houston has a tv show, cause he can catch em? If thats it and only it , i want to challenge him to a fishing competition where his shows the prize for the winner. Thanks again for readin this.
P.S. The wing it bobblers suck, these red hooks the club sent are chipping paint inside the package and i can bend most the swivels with my thumbnail haha. Other than that , Doc Hal is awesome, The lindners rock and They and Hank and Bill Dance are welcome to use my extra float tube with me any time, but i'll still keep the fishfinder mounted on mine.
One , a touring bass pro, as stated in sentence one got that quoted in NAFC and it flew over top dog heads? Two , that really what being a pro about ? HERES TO BEIN A ROOKIE .
Answer: Yes It is.
LOL Good Luck on the competition. I would really like to see that. You would really be humiliated.

Would you kindly provide such verification? Thanks!

New Site- FREE AMMO CAN |
We are proud to announce our new website- |
At first, I was skeptical about anything Italian, as I'm married to one, and yeah... we'll leave that one right there. However, I've been looking for a gun lubricant that will actually do everything it claims to do. CLP, Rem-Oil and other thin petroleum products just don't work in Alaska, especially when the temperature drops below freezing. |

Product Info |
Click here to purchase our products. "IGG, Know the Difference." - What is the difference? Innovation starts with the need to solve a problem. Firing weapons creates two primary problems, the first is friction and the second is the accumulation and build-up of carbon or particulate matter. Both affect the end result, which is to maximize the mechanical performance of each weapon. The goal is to drop the friction and minimize the carbon build up as much as possible. The shooting industry has been nibbling around the edge to solve these problems, but has seemingly been stagnant with answers that can make a real impact. In other words, the existing products are relatively the same, with the expensive high end products being only marginal improvements. With an intimate knowledge of the tactical weapons market and solid relationships in place with little known key R&D/manufacturing companies, ESG was in a unique position to both understand the problems and know where to find solutions that would make a significant impact. The technologies we have attached ourselves to are literal "game changers" for the same problems in other industries (automotive, manufacturing, drilling…). What we did was to leverage the technologies by modifying and migrating them to fit the weapons markets. The end result has been a "next generation" of phenomenal products. Normal lubricants cut friction by creating a thin film wedge that separates metal surfaces from each other (i.e. bullets and barrels). The problem is that when cartridges explode bullets out of barrels at extremely high pressures and temperatures, the same oil that is supposed to reduce friction hits a flashpoint, burns and carbonizes. The goal of cutting friction simply does not happen for more than a shot or two. Our IGG lubricants are very different. They do lubricate and cut friction, but are not true lubricants; they contain proprietary metal conditioners that are heat activated. Our HSM (Heat Seeking Molecule) formula penetrates into the substrate and fills in microscopic gaps where points of friction exist. IGG doesn't burn up in high heat, it actually bakes the surface into an even harder super slick film coating. The result is a very hard, high heat, high pressure resistant micro polished surface. Tests have shown that the IGG metal treatment process can cut friction by as much as 85%; this is not just "a little better" than competitive products, but "magnitudes better." What does this mean for carbon and other particulates that originate from the exploding gun powder that want to adhere to and build up on treated metal? Well, it means that these substances that would normally form residues and stick to the surfaces, don't really have anything to adhere to. It would be like burning food on a nonstick pan, it just comes off real easy. This is why IGG produces significant second and third advantages: 1) minimal malfunctions, and 2) easy clean ups (often only 25% of the "normal" time). Another advantage is the extra wide external temperature operating range. We can go from blowing sands in high heat Middle East deserts to below -50 degrees in artic conditions where other lubricants freeze up, without ruining a single crucial shot. When we say that Italian Gun Grease will improve the your weapon's accuracy, performance and reliability we are not just saying this for marketing reasons to "keep up with the Jones", we say it because we do it! The best way to understand the difference is to watch the video, which demonstrates on the Timpkin Bearing machine that we are very different. But the real key is to "Know the Difference", and the only way to do that is to buy it and try it! Our goal is to revolutionize the shooting industry and be the premier product for hunters, competitive shooters, law officers and soldiers. We have simplified the product selections with "GREEN", environmentally friendly, American made, affordable products that far outperform the competition. We believe that each user will be a convert and become part of the IGG story. After you use the products, please tell your friends and give us your testimonial. Please call or email us with your ideas or questions. Have fun, happy shooting & welcome to "the Family"! |

Seckel Pear - Pyrus communis | Magness Pear |
The small sweet Seckel is one of the finest eating pears. The tree is open and round. Grows 8'-10'. It produces by itself and can pollinate other pears. One of the few "butter" pears that ripen on the tree. A less-care variety, resistant to blight, but has had it at our nursery. Space @ 10' circle Zones 5-8.
View detailed information Please contact our office to see about availability. 434.361.9134 |
Easy to care for and disease-resistant. Bears sweet perfumed fruit picked around August 26th in VA. Its buttery melting flavor rivals any pear. Has a similar flavor to Comice. Comice is very susceptible to fire blight. I love those Comices to pieces but would not grow one, as it would surely die from fire blight in our area of Virginia. Magness grows well in areas such as MS and LA and is hardy in MI.It is Very fire blight resistant. Space dwarf @ 8'- 10'circle or standard @ 15-20'circle. Can be pollinated by European or the Asian varieties, but will NOT pollinate others. Zones 5-9.
View detailed information |
Potomac Pear | Blakes Pride European Pear |
From the Kearneysville, WV USDA station, this is a high quality pear which ripens in late September, attaining best quality after some six weeks in storage. Fruit is sweet and buttery. Tree is vigorous and fairly precocious. Pollinates with other European pears and is fire blight resistant. A Moonglow-Anjou cross, it is one of the highest quality fireblight resistant varieties available. Dwarf trees are 8'-14'tall and standards are 15'-30'tall. Space 6' to 10' circles for dwarf and 14' circles for standards. Introduced in 1993. Zone 5-9.

Moonglow Pear | Honeysweet Pear |
Moonglow is a very fire blight resistant variety.Released in 1960 from USDA Beltsville, MD by Dr. Magness.The tree is vigorous, upright, and bears at an early age. The fruit is large and attractive with juicy, subacid flesh which has very few grit cells. Moonglow is a good pollinator variety.
View detailed information
Honeysweet was introduced from Purdue University because of its superior attributes for flavor, appearance, and disease resistance. This is a very high quality "Seckel or sugar-pear" type, which is larger in size than Seckel, and one of the few pears that are self pollinating. Tree is similar to Seckel (a natural dwarf). Ripens late August here, with good storage ability. If you have room for only one pear tree, this is it. More fire blight resistant than Seckel and fruit is larger. Resists leaf spot problems and has the fireblight resistance similar to Keiffer pear. Introduced by Jules Janick from Perdue in 1977. Space @ 10-12' circle Zone 5 - 8.

Knicks blown out by Chris Paul and Clippers, 102-88
NEW YORK — Through the first 32 minutes and 39 seconds of the game, 40-year-old Grant Hill watched from the bench as his athletic teammate, Blake Griffin, tried in vain to defend Carmelo Anthony. No matter how high Griffin can jump or how strong he is, there wasn't a thing he could do to slow Anthony, who already had poured in 33 points — more than half the Knicks' total to that point.
Finally, Clippers coach Vinnie Del Negro nudged Hill from the bench and sent him cold into what is one of the toughest defensive assignments in the NBA. Hill never left the game — and the game turned around.
Anthony scored five points in the those final minutes of the third quarter and then went silent in the fourth as the Knicks saw a brief lead disappear and the Clippers run away for a 102-88 win Sunday at Madison Square Garden.
Hill may not have the athletic skills he did years ago, but he never left Anthony for a moment, trying desperately to keep the ball out of hands of the Knicks' one-man show.
"He's a great player," Hill said. "I have so much respect for him and I enjoy playing against him. But he's a challenge, man, especially when you're sitting for three quarters. You try to make him work. He's been playing out of his mind this year. I think he's gotten better.
"You've got to pick him up on the opposite end. As soon as we change ends it's like, 'Where's 'Melo? Let's find him.' He's done a great job of hitting those transition, trailing three's. That's one thing he wasn't doing last year. But he's doing it this year."
Anthony sat out the first two minutes of the fourth quarter and then didn't get a shot attempt off, a wayward three-point try, until 5:25 remained and the Knicks were behind by double-digits.
Anthony hit just one field goal attempt in the fourth — and attempted two. He finished with 42 points, but just four in that fourth quarter.
"He denied," Anthony said of Hill. "I heard their coaches yelling, 'Don't let him catch it, make it tough.' They were sending two guys at me in the pick-and-roll, trapping pick-and-rolls. They made an adjustment, especially late in the fourth quarter.
"They started doubling more in the pick-and-roll, started getting the ball out of my hands, started fronting the post. They just made some adjustments, just getting the ball out of my hands, making somebody else make plays and try to win the game."

TERRE HAUTE — Coach Jim Wiedie expects the Indiana State women's basketball team to have a bit of a retro feel this season, meaning the Sycamores have the potential to get back to creating havoc with their full-court press.
As Melanie Boeglin and Lisa Verhoff arrived as freshmen guards in 2002-03 to help the squad force an average of 24 turnovers per game, ISU student Brent Holl had become the regular color commentator for the Sycamores on WISU-FM 89.7.
Holl has been hooked since, and he'll be making his return to a regular job with the program this season as ISU's play-by-play man on WSDM-FM 92.7.
Holl, who spent nearly two years as station manager for ESPN Radio from 2006 to 2008, recently began working as an account manager for Gibson Teledata in Terre Haute.
"It's a credit to what coach Wiedie has done to get this program on a commercial station. I think it's huge, and I'm very excited about it," said Hull, who will also host a coach's show at the 7th and Elm Bar and Grill on Thursdays.
Holl's excitement for the program grew during the team's school-record winning 2005-06 season, and his knowledge of the program and the conference will be a plus for fans.
"I'm passionate about it. I know the players and coaches. I know what they're trying to do. I know offensive tendencies, and what they're trying to do on defense," Holl said.
The Sycamores have seven freshmen on this year's team, but Hull is optimistic the team can get back in the top half of the conference standings. ISU was sixth in the MVC last year with an 8-10 mark.
"You like to think they have a shot to finish near the top half of the league," Holl said.
The program's advancement to a commercial station has been in the works for the past year. Wiedie is excited about the exposure for the program.
"I'm really excited to be carried on a commercial station," Wiedie said. "With the success we've had in the past, it's time for that to happen. It will be nice to have a professional announcer. I know that our fans are extremely excited about that. The people at The Crock are great to work with, and I'm excited to be associated with their station."

• Preseason picks — With media day on Tuesday, we'll have a full report on the MVC women's basketball preseason picks, but I'll prematurely share my votes.
With reigning MVC Jackie Stiles Player of the Year Kristin Cirone returning for her senior season, Illinois State is the clear favorite to repeat. The biggest change is last year's No. 3-seed Evansville falling to a preseason pick of 8th due to the loss of several seniors and coach Tricia Cullop.
The Sycamores are easy to put in the middle of the pack with several key players returning, but it was tough to pick an ISU player on the preseason all-conference squad. Junior guard Kelsey Luna (11.0 ppg in 2007-08) has every opportunity to prove me wrong, but based on last year's statistics (34.5 percent field-goal shooting, 31 assists to 52 turnovers) there were more deserving candidates such as last year's hustling all-tournament pick from Drake Monique Jones.
MVC picks
1. Illinois State, 2. Drake, 3. Creighton, 4. Northern Iowa, 5. Indiana State, 6. Missouri State, 7. Southern Illinois, 8. Evansville, 9. Bradley, 10. Wichita State.
Preseason first- team
1. Kristi Cirone (Illinois State), 2. Maggie Dwyer (Missouri State), 3. Jacqui Kalin (Northern Iowa), 4. Nicolle Lewis (Illinois State), Monique Jones (Drake).

'I think i'm starting to believe in ghosts'
My friends and I have had a few really strange photos...they had some personal experiences..we've smelled 'phantom'smells and heard screams that had no apparent source.
AT that point i was still willing to be skeptical and try to explain away all of these things.
That was until i heard two evp's that we got.
ONe in the same place where all the smells/sounds/strange photos were captured and one I got at a private residence.
The one we got as a group simply said 'hi there' in a raspy rough sounding voice.
The one I got when i was checking out that house by myself said 'Stay with me'.It sounded like a little boy or a guy with a really high voice.
The room I got that one in was the former room of a little boy that died in a car wreck.
I don't listen to it much because it makes me sad honestly.
The voice is very monotone and almost scared/bored/alone sounding.
To me personally,I'm about 90% believer.
Theres always that little bit of skepticism for me.

The Secret Power of Ignorance
By Michael Piraino, CEO of the National CASA Association
**Orginally published in the Winter 2007-08 Adoption issue of The Journal of API
I don't know why, as adults, we think we know everything. Maybe we just automatically subscribe to the theory that as we get older, we get wiser. What I think actually happens is we become more jaded, and we mistake that for knowledge. I think we all agree that age does not teach us. Experience does. That's why some of my most powerful learning experiences have come from folks far younger than me – but wise beyond their years.
It occurred to me early in my career of advocating for foster children that I needed to find a path to communication with them. This path led me to accepting my own ignorance. I'd like to introduce you to the moment I embraced that ignorance and the impact it's had on me and thousands of foster children for the past 25 years.
Be Present
My wife and I were at the airport, in an area specially set aside for parents and their young children, waiting to greet our newly adopted infant son. I could barely contain my anticipation. Despite my nervousness and expectation, I couldn't help but notice a little boy somberly absorbed in squeezing blobs of play clay. After a few minutes, I sat on the ground next to him. He looked at me. I asked what he was playing with. He studied me for a beat and then said, "Play-Doh."
"Play-Doh?! You eat that, right?" I asked.
A smile lit up the boy's face. "No, you don't," he corrected me. "You play with it. You make things with it!" And for the next several minutes, my little friend cleverly demonstrated how to make squiggly ropes and lop-sided balls. Then the plane arrived. Families were reunited. The little boy walked off hand-in-hand with his parents. And tears filled my eyes as I held my son.
Of all the memories of that life-changing day, the little boy playing with Play-Doh is one of the most vivid. I believe it's because I chose to step out of my immediate situation – crowded as it was with strong emotions and thoughts about the future – to let a child show me what was most important to him in that moment. He took utter joy in being the expert, letting an ignorant adult into his world.
Learn from the Children
One of the most important things I have learned through my 25 years as an advocate for foster children is that I need to be ignorant. Becoming ignorant means setting aside preconceived notions. Others may call this idea "being present." Regardless of what it's called, the goal is to let everything you think you know about a given situation drop away. In so doing, you are able to understand a child's world as he or she sees it. And being at his level offers the child a chance to reveal the important feelings and thoughts that are crowding his world.
Being on the child's level creates the space to hear crucial things. Like from the street kid who said he wanted to go to college "just like a normal person." The youngster who told his volunteer he waited all of his life for the day she walked with him on a beach. The Native American teen who described his vision quest as the time he "came alive" to the world.
I wish solving kids' problems was as easy as squishing Play-Doh with them. It's not. But suspending what you think you know lets the child usher you into his or her world. That kind of presence not only changes the life of a child, but it changes yours, too.
As we think about the more than 500,000 children who are currently in the foster care system and ways we can help them, I encourage you to embrace your ignorance. Learn from the child who hasn't been given a fair shake at life. You know if you get through to him you can make a difference in his life, but first, give him a chance to make a difference in yours. That's the power of being ignorant.
About CASA
The mission of the National Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) Association, together with its state and local members, is to support and promote court-appointed volunteer advocacy for abused and neglected children so that they can thrive in safe, permanent homes.
In 1977, a Seattle judge conceived the idea of using trained community volunteers to speak for the best interests of abused and neglected children in court. So successful was this program that soon judges across the country began utilizing citizen advocates. In 1990, the U.S. Congress encouraged the expansion of CASA programs with passage of the Victims of Child Abuse Act.
CASA has since grown to a network of more than 50,000 volunteers that serve 225,000 abused and neglected children through more than 900 local program offices nationwide. CASA advocates, also known as volunteer guardians ad litem (GAL) in some jurisdictions, are appointed members of the court. Judges rely on the information these trusted advocates present. Since the inception of CASA advocacy, volunteers have helped well over one million children.

Introducing MORDECAI…
It wasn't easy, but it happened. The cagey Bodish boys of MORDECAI found themselves cornered and compelled to respond to the grilling of a trusted Richie Records // TestosterTunes agent. The guys were reluctant to answer, and demanded that much of the conversation be deleted from the public record. But here's what remains. It's heavy on Quine, Reed, Dead, regional, & congratulatory content. Introduction & interview by Max Milgram of Philadelphia…
I was intrigued by the existence of Mordecai's debut lp on the Killertree label from a couple years back. The notion of a noisy proto/post garage/punk band from Montana on Ex-Cocaine's house label had me checking the state of my wallet (thin) but the ultra-murky result had my checking the state of my ear canal (waxy). Cool but maybe the lack of fidelity obscured the songs a little too much. Happily a video of them playing in a bathroom shed some clarity on their sound and made me a firm believer. A follow-up single on Wäntage showcased some vague pop sensibilities amid the guitar-shard grime and is very, very good. And now their second lp, College Rock, is due out on this very (esteemed) label! It is unquestionably their best (yet)! What do they sound like, you may wonder. Perhaps I am too easily influenced by the power of suggestion(see the first question), but I hear them leapfrogging from the Neon Boys to the Voidoids while dipping into both Swell Mapsian clatter and Crazy Horsian loose rural songsmithery. A lazy comparision for sure but I never claimed to be ambitious. Here's what the Brothers Bodish had to say:
MAX: What's the story with owning Robert Quine's guitar?
Holt: Parent's got a buddy with impeccable taste. Studied sitar playing under a student of Ravi, worked at IBM in the 80s and 90s, used to have parties at his ranch house in Butte that my parents would go to and the kids would get to play around in his music room (first time I played an electric guitar…he had a stage built in his basement with far too many guitars, drums, basses etc. to hit/make noise). The parents played pool in a room kids were not allowed into because the walls were plastered with Playboy centerfolds. He worked at a guitar store in New York in the early 90′s that Quine would frequent and one time asked Quine about a shiny blue guitar that he had (maybe he had worked on it or something…or saw a picture of him playing it (supposedly used to record some solos on Mathew Sweet's Girlfriend though I've never actually listened to the album (ED. NOTE- Don't bother.))) and Quine just gave it to him! About the mid-late 00′s he gave it to me as a b-day present or something hoping that I would start playing licks like the Quine. I had heard the Voidoids before but never knew the guitar player's name. Elijah knew about him though (somehow that dude learned how to use the internet to find cool shit and I never have (luckily he has my email)). We had already been playing music together with our buddy Eric on drums but I remember us really kicking out some jams one I had that axe….really the pickups on it are some kinda custom Quine magik; they sting!
Elijah: Mordecai/Watery Love split rec "Underneath the Bottle"/"Waves of Fear"(ED. NOTE- Huh????)
Who is Steve Hesske and how did his portrait end up as College Rock's cover? What exactly is "stun guitar"?
Elijah: Steve is a friend of the band. Resident of MT. Lifelong fan of under-the-counter-culture. Took an interest in our crappy recordings early on and has helped support for three years now. Pushing us on others and assorted 'weird' music on us. He recently heard someone say their fav. band was Mordecai and told the kid something along lines of "Mordecai wouldn't be what they are today w/out me." He's right. That's why he's on cover. "Stun guitar" is a guitar played by either Eric Bloom (ED. NOTE- Eric Bloom played "stun guitar" in Blue Oyster Cult, a fantastic American rock outfit) or Steve.
Holt: Hesske would know what a stun guitar is, but I can tell you it is not a real guitar at all. Its more of an aura you know. He hipped Eli and thus me to some good tunes. I'm not one for names of anything but I can tell you that whenever Eli would put it on it would blow me outta the water. Because of that I started to play the guitar more ferociously and with less and less self consciousness. It became a release you know, like a really good release of all this tension and aggression and emotion; one doesn't experience that catharsis when one tries to actually play the guitar. It comes from a realization that the sounds you wanna hear are not what traditionally comes out of a guitar, it's whatever is put into it from the inside. And what you got inside is not a Merle Haggard song or a Bob Dylan song (not that they are not great songwriters) its more of a Neil Hagerty kinda song.
I drew the cover art for College Rock. Steve sent Elijah, and Elijah sent me, a cell phone picture that I mocked up and it came out looking like he was attending the performance of an Elizabethan play (or maybe an actor in one). That was something that just came out of the drawing though, I sometimes have to look at pictures of mathematicians from the 1800′s and 1900′s and that kinda filtered into my image i guess.
Steve really is an inspirational figure ya know. I've never met him or had a convo w/ him but I kinda think of him as the Mersenne of good music these days (Mersenne was a guy Fermat and Descartes and a buncha other French intellectuals corresponded w/ and he would send results of one mathematician to another one that he thought would get a kick out of it…or maybe improve on the result). Steve is in my mind constantly connecting the music world together.
Can you narrow down a favorite Dead show or even just era? Lately I've been digging the Persian base lull of the 78 tour but not enough to pinpoint one particular show.
Holt: Dunno what the Persian base lull of 78 is (ED. NOTE- Persian base was a potent form of heroin that everyone in the band, but particularly Jerry, was using. By '78 he was severely strung out but in a way that gave that year's shows a slowed-down, nod-out deep heaviness. Very recommended year to check out. Don't do drugs!) but boiling down a fav. Dead era is tough. Recently my mom sent me a show from their 71 tour on youtube and It blew my mind (hers too). The Dead are really wrinkled, they are playing a cold June night in France in from of some chateau and the equip or the cold or the drugs in France have these guys ripping through a version of "Hard to Handle" sung by the sickly Pigpen that passes the litmus tests I employ. 1st Dead album is great for me. Can't really think of a bad song on that record. "Morning Dew" is a beauty. Recently some of the later 70′s jams of 'Loser' have been hitting me hard: "and I got no chance of losing….this time". Dunno, Its gotta be the right day and time and i gotta have the right kinda herb to really be a huge Deadhead because I like it more in your face most of the time, but there doesn't seem to be any shortage of good grass here in Montana so there does not seem to be a chance for me. So I can dig punks hating on the Dead, they get a little dreary and plonky sometimes, but it's not reasonable in my book to say that Jerry doesn't melt your soul with his leads and singing. Sometimes all a punk may need to get along in the world is for his soul to be melted.
Elijah: My favorite Dead songs are 'Cream Puff War' and 'Viola Lee Blues' and I don't know of any instance of them playing these songs live past American Beauty era (and probably earlier). So my favorite period is the early one. I don't have a favorite tape from this era but have heard good ones.
Correct me if my assumptions about Missoula are way off base (ED. NOTE- My assumptions WERE way off base as Mordecai is not based in Missoula but in Butte, which is over 100 miles away), but isn't there a considerable amount of empty space? I'm surprised you chose to record in a community center bathroom or was that the only viable option?
Elijah: I know MT is the the 4th largest state with the 3rd (approx) smallest population in U.S. so it does have lots of open space. Our drummer, Gavin, is a real MT guy: hunting, fishing, etc. But me and Holt are more pocket-protector indoor types. We thought the Y's bathroom had good natural reverb and were renting a studio there from our dad (an artist who was then director of an arts foundation that owns a 100 year old ex-YMCA). The new record was recorded in our newer studio which used to function as an army recruiting office.
Holt: Our dad was the director of a non profit arts foundation in Butte, not Missoula (ED. NOTE- Yes, got it), while we were going to high school and until i got into college. One of the things they did was invest in a YMCA building (that was sold to them for $1) and attempt to open a community art center. He gave us a place to play music. It was the best music studio one could ask for. The men's locker room at a YMCA. So we went crazy, recording in the showers, playing really really loud music a lot. When Elijah went to college and I was still living in Butte going to high school me and my buddy Nick would play loud guitars together there almost every night. It was way too much fun and probably why I got no scholarships in high school. But it was probably better than any scholarship because you only live once and experiences like that come so rarely. The other option was to sit at home and do nothing, or to go out and play beer pong with 30 cases of Keystone Light. There was no better option than what we had. And I would attribute the sound of our band to being able to learn while jamming like that, in a relaxed environment where we could sound however we wanted and not feel (too) bad about it.
On a scale of 1-25, how excited are you to be on the Richie Records//Testostertunes roster? Outside of College Rock, what is your favorite release? Please. Be honest.
Elijah: Feel odd w/ the number grading system. People always say a really big number to show how enthused they are but it usually makes them seem less than 100% and more like they are afraid the person they are rating will be offended if they don't overcompensate. But i am really excited (and generally not too excited of a guy), especially since all my extended family lives in PA, and i think some are Phillies fans (ED. NOTE- Go Phills!!!!!). Home Blitz is the best band in the world. Watery Love is the best in America. (ED. NOTE- I am willing to live with that)
Holt: I'm way stoked, couldn't be happier. I'm bad at communication and use of technology but whenever I seem to have to email Richie to give him my address or something I get the impression he's a great guy (ED. NOTE- Richie is kind of a prick). Those are really the only interactions I've had with him though, but I can't complain about his taste. I love the Watery Love singles (I don't know which one (if any) he put out himself): like the "New Kind of Kick" cover a lot, others great too just don't know the names (ED. NOTE- All 3 Watery Love singles are excellent and well worth your time tracking down). Hearing the Home Blitz album for the first time was a fucking eye opener, I never imagined you could do music like that! I wanna hear that Clockcleaners stuff too, Richie, if you're listening. Never got much into Vile but I don't think his music is terrible. My buddy played me a song off his new LP recently that was good (you could hear his voice clearly and there was a solid 'riff') but then the next song totally turned me off, so it seems hit or miss for me.
25 dude, where else would I rather be?

While acknowledging the possibility that Ieng Thirith could attempt to feign the cognitive impairment in view of the consequences of a finding of incapacity, all experts considered it unlikely that Ieng Thirith could falsely present with dementia. ... [Ieng's] long-term and short-term memory are limited and ... her condition will continue to deteriorate over time. ... The Psychiatric Experts ... considered that she possessed some understanding that she was accused and of what she was accused ... [and] retained some capacity to enter a plea, to understand the charges and details of the evidence against her, and to testify. ... However, the Accused's impaired memory will likely impact upon her ability to recall events that occurred between 1975 and 1979. ... [Ieng's inability to] adequately instruct counsel and effectively participate in her own defense ... [restricts the] exercise these fundamental fair trial rights meaningfully, and in accordance with the international standards ... the Chamber has no alternative but to declare her unfit.
The trial of the other three surviving leaders is set to begin [JURIST report] on Monday, November 21. The prosecution will have two days for opening statements followed by half a day of opening statements for the defense. The first segment of the trial is expected to conclude by December 16 for Christmas recess and will resume after the holiday break on January 9. In September, the ECCC ordered the trials be split into a series of smaller trials [JURIST report]. The ECCC said that the separation of trials will allow the tribunal to deliberate more quickly [press release] in the case [materials] against the elderly defendants. The first trial will focus on the beginning two phases of population movement and allegations of crimes against humanity, including murder, persecution not on religious grounds and forced disappearances associated with the first phases of population movement. Subsequent trials will focus on the third phase of population movement, genocide, persecution based on religious grounds and violation of the Geneva Conventions of 1949 [ICRC backgrounder].

Yep, after watching most of our games this year i think it's safe to say that Gerald's perimeter game has developed nicely. No longer is he only a slasher but now he can consistently spot up and knock down big shots from the arc.
This is making it even easier to get to the rim because now opposing teams must respect his three. My only other critic for Gerald would be to improve his midrange game a little more. I would like to see him be able dribble to a spot, pull up and hit shots as well. Many of the best players in the league have this as one of their strengths. Think of Kobe, Lebron, (gay guy) tony parker, and even our own Jason Richardson who is also a helluva three point specialist.
Don't get me wrong i have no complaints about Geralds game, I just want to see him become a true all star. I think developing his scoring abilitly to all areas of the court will help him greatly.
Great Job on the outside game Crash. Keep ballin' out.

The teachers were nominated by their colleagues for this annual award. Their portfolios were sent to the East Tennessee Region of the State Department of Education where all were winners and have advanced to the State level consideration for Teacher of the Year. An East Tennessee regional SDE official could not recall any time in the past that all regional winners were from the same school system. Ms. Byrd was named the Grand Division winner for East Tennessee. This year's candidates scores were very close. Here are the runnersup in each category: Grades Pre K-4: 1st Runner-up – Julie Lewis, Cedar Bluff Elementary

Ms Byrd also leads in her community and church, serving as a volunteer coach for the Lads to Leaders and Leaderettes character and leadership development program as well as numerous medical mission trips to Central America. Ms. Byrd says, "Teaching is a wonderful career. It is a privilege and a calling and it's also hard work and you need to be ready and willing to give to people more than you could have ever dreamed, but it is one of the most rewarding things you could ever choose to be. "As a teacher I take joy in encouraging my students to contribute to their community. My classes are known for efforts such as delivering plates of goodies to the staff members of our school each Thanksgiving and for writing letters of encouragement to the homeless children at Knox Rescue Mission" said Byrd.

She traces her love for education through other family members as well. "The draw to the classroom has been a powerful force in my family. My grandmother taught in Knox County for 39 years. My grandfather served as an administrator and teacher, and my father taught history for a few years before I was born. Even my two daughters have decided to pursue careers in education. " Crawford reflects on what it means to be chosen for the Middle School Teacher of the Year by saying, "Being chosen Knox County's Teacher of the Year is a tremendous honor for me.

She is active in the community serving as a board member and volunteer for the Safe Place Runaway Shelter operated by Child and Family Services, and as a member of the Knoxville Museum of Art Education Advisory Council. Ms. Galetovic stated, "The most important attribute of any good teacher is that s/he is passionate about the students and the subject s/he is teaching. If a teacher truly loves the students, all of them, the students recognize the true quality for caring and perform even when otherwise they might be reluctant to do so. What a dynamic profession when one can be excited everyday to see what new idea the students have facing them. If a teacher does not love and continually investigate the subject through classes and practice, s/he stagnates. I am such a fortunate person to have a profession I love and students I treasure." The winners' portfolios will be sent to the East Tennessee Region of the State Department of Education for further competition and possible advancement to the state level. Six teachers from around the state will be named Tennessee Teachers of the Year. One of them will advance to the national competition. |
