Metallica bassist joins this acoustic due at Red Rocks for a surprise performance.
From Slash's pickups to Eddie's amp, here are five essential pieces of signature gear.
Strap on a set of cans and check out GW's guide to 10 essential headphone albums.
Five-plus examples of Stevie Ray Vaughan's best work as a guest guitarist in the Eighties.
Avenged Sevenfold's reissue of their second album, Waking The Fallen: Resurrected, is available now via Hopeless Records.
A few weeks ago, Limp Bizkit released a new song, "Endless Slaughter," for free download via their official website.
As Yes take their classic Fragile and Close to the Edge albums on the road, guitar virtuoso Steve Howe sits down for a talk about the making of those groundbreaking prog productions.
In the new issue, we celebrate blues giants Stevie Ray Vaughan with an in-depth examination of his 30 greatest recordings — from "Texas Flood" to "Riviera Paradise," from "Couldn't Stand the Weather" to "The Sky is Crying." Read about how Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble (bassist Tommy Shannon and drummer Chris Layton) didn't walk into Jackson Browne's Down Town Studio in Los Angeles in late 1982 with highfalutin plans about recording their monster debut album. In fact, their sites were set much lower.

In this brand-new edition of Betcha Can't Play This, metal guitarist Ethan Brosh (using a Fender HM Strat) demonstrates a lightning-fast C Lydian lick that sounds a bit like The Simpsons theme song, at least at the very beginning.
Slipknot have premiered a new song, "The Devil in I," and you can hear it below. It's the first official single from their upcoming fifth album. As always, give it a listen and let us know what you think in the comments or on Facebook!
As we reported over the weekend, Jason Becker challenged Eddie Van Halen, David Lee Roth and John Mayer to take the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.
Today, Guitar World checks in with Jethro Tull and tracks down what we feel are the legendary British band's 10 greatest guitar moments. As always, our list digs deep into the band's six-string artistry (a staggering amount of which was provided by the great Martin Barre and, of course, Ian Anderson), while taking historical importance and other factors into account.

Blood may be thicker than water, but it doesn't hold a candle to hairspray, as we learn in this urban comedy. Angela ([[Performer~P285048~Kellita Smith~kellitasmith]]) is a successful hairdresser who operates her own salon based in Los Angeles. One day, Angela gets an unexpected visit from her sister Peaches ([[Performer~P276938~Mo'Nique~monique]]), who runs a beauty shop of her own in Baltimore. The family reunion turns out to not be as happy as Angela may have hoped -- Peaches is trying to stay a step ahead of IRS agents who want to collect 50,000 dollars in back taxes, while also avoiding Marcella ([[Performer~P239212~Gina Torres~ginatorres]]), a fellow hair stylist who wants to take over Peaches' shop. Despite their differences, Angela and Peaches join forces in hopes of finding a way to get the bill paid and take Marcella out of the picture. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

St. Petersburg Florida Tort Claims Act Attorney | Lawyers that Sue St. Petersburg or Florida
Florida Tort Claims Act Lawyers - Government Liability Lawyers Serving St. Petersburg Residents Injured by the State or Municipal Government
|In accordance with s. 13, Art. X of the State Constitution, the state, for itself and for its agencies or subdivisions, hereby waives sovereign immunity for liability for torts, but only to the extent specified in this act. Actions at law against the state or any of its agencies or subdivisions to recover damages in tort for money damages against the state or its agencies or subdivisions for injury or loss of property, personal injury, or death caused by the negligent or wrongful act or omission of any employee of the agency or subdivision while acting within the scope of the employee's office or employment under circumstances in which the state or such agency or subdivision, if a private person, would be liable to the claimant, in accordance with the general laws of this state, may be prosecuted subject to the limitations specified in this act. - Florida Statute 768.28
An old Latin adage advises "Rex non potest peccare," or, in English, "The King can do no wrong." This saying expresses the Old World notion that the ruling class was essentially immune from any liability and could reign as they wished, breaking any laws they saw fit. In fact, at English common law, it was impossible to sue the Sovereign or King for redress. Since every state in the United States - with the notable exception of Louisiana - adopted the English common law, it was also historically impossible for a to sue a state government. Modern society has changed laws too better reflect a democratic society, and now states can be sued under some circumstances.
The laws dictating what the government can be sued for and how are extremely complicated. There are different laws depending on whether the Federal, State or Local governments are being sued. The basic premise of the Florida laws are that you can sue the government when a government employee does something that you would be able to sue a private person for.
Florida's Tort Claims act includes a four (4) year statute of limitations on your claim, special caps on damages and attorney's fees, and many other unique provisions. Only a qualified St. Petersburg, Florida governmental Liability lawyer can tell you how these laws fit your situation. Governmental liability laws often come with complicated requirements for quickly giving the government notice of the suit. You should contact a St. Petersburg Governmental Liability lawyer as soon as possible if anything done by any government or person working for the government has caused you injury.
Some situations that often lead to Governmental Liability include:
ThebvvGovernmental Liability for Civil Rights Violations
Florida's State, County and City governments can be held liable under certain circumstances for civil rights violations. Some types of violations that may cause governmental liability include:
The following is Florida's Tort Claim act. This is the act which allows people to sue the government of the State of Florida. For more information on suing governments, see our St. Petersburg Governmental Liability Lawyers Page

Choose from hundreds of brand new and unique girl baby shower invitation designs from the modern baby girl shower invitation collection to traditional girl baby shower invitations, vintage design girl baby shower invitations for girls, photo girl baby shower invitations and indie girl baby shower invitation cards.
Little girls are made of sugar and spice, so why shouldn't your baby shower invitations for girls be just as nice? These adorable baby shower invitations for girls feature the perfect designs for the little one on the way. We also offer articles on baby shower invitation ideas and baby shower tips!
"I was a bit worried while ordering this product as i wasn't sure of the quality. I must say I am very pleased with these invitations! Great quality, very thick and true to the description. People loved them. The delivery was also MUCH FASTER than I expected. Will definitely shop again and recommend TinyPrints."
"I'm glad I decided to go with this baby shower invite. Sturdy paper I didn't upgrade to the fancier paper and I don't think it mattered because It met my expectations. I loved the invite even more in person. Great choice"
"The card turned out just as I wanted, it is beautiful! I had questions prior to order and found the customer service agent on the phone was very helpful and knowledgable about the product and process. The invitations were delivered within 2 days of order, I was amazed at that! Thank you I am very pleased!"
"this card was easy to put together, easy to find on internet, easy to decide script, and most important of all it came to my front door in just a few days. Much faster than they promised. Thank you --we love the cards. Nannie"
"Overall I'm really happy with this purchase. The quality of the invite is great. It's heavy cardstock. I was also pleased that the envelopes weren't flimsy, thin pieces of paper. I used this as a gender neutral invitation. I wanted to use an invite that allowed me to include a photo, but that didn't require several photo's on the front of the invite. This was one of the few invites that allowed me to do that. I was able to upload a sonogram picture on the front and I used a phote of my bump on the back of the invite. I appreciated that I was able to include information on the back of the invite because there isn't a lot of room for additional info on the front. The price was relatively inexpensive compared to several other sites/invites I looked at. I needed to expedite the shipping. I received the invites 3 days after placing my order, so I was very pleased."

This is the second installment of the current 2014 roster review. http://www.bloggingtheboys.com/2014/1/2/5267346/state-of-the-roster-2014-part-i
Offensive Line, the issue we have here is all but 2 contracts expire after the 2014 year. Look for Dallas to draft at least one Offensive lineman in the first 4 rounds due to this. Although the D-line only has two signed past 2014 also. (Crawford, Kearse)
OT : Tyron Smith, $3.98mil, 2014
OT : Doug Free, $6.25mil, 2014
OT : Jeremy Parnell, $1.83mil, 2014
OT : Darrion Weems, $570k, 2014
Tryon Smith was a top 5 OT, has 3 years experience and is still only 23. He is the top off season priority to get signed before the 2014 year is up.
Doug Free acquitted himself well with the pay cut. He is currently 30 years old and still costs a decent amount. Getting a stud starting ROT in the draft would do the salary cap a world of good. And I'm not sure Dallas would risk another contract with Free when his play is so erratic year to year.
Jeremy Parnell was supposed to compete for the starting spot on the right side. But after getting injured early in the off season he never re-emerged. He has a tons of athletic potential. He just needs to put it all together. Which he may do for another team after 2014.
Darrion Weems is a bit of a dark horse. Dallas would like for him to win the swing tackle spot from Parnell. It would save over a million on the cap if he did. Weems has good intangibles to play the position. He just needs coached up more.
OG : Mackenzy Bernadeau, $4.57mil, 2015
OG : Ronald Leary, $495k, 2014
*OG : Brian Waters, $1.5mil, UFA
Big Mac actually played quite well this season after taking over for Waters. He could still be beat with a strong bull rush, but it didn't happen often. I don't expect for him to lose his spot unless Waters were to resign.
Ron Leary learned a ton this year. He got better with technique as the year went on. But he also got winded physically towards the end of the year. With some better conditioning and now with more experience, he should do well as long as his knees do not cause problems.
Brian Waters was amazing. It takes a special talent (Deion Sanders) to be able to play at the level he did without practicing in the off season. Even at his age, if he was healthy and wanted to play, Dallas should grab him for another year. His mentoring skills would be worth it alone.
C : Travis Frederick, $1.56mil, 2017
C : Phil Costa, $1.73mil, 2014
Travis Frederick should, by all rights, be in contention for Offensive Rookie of the Year. Seldom does a Center start his rookie year with success he had. He made the line calls starting the first pre season game. He played with power. He played with much more athleticism than many thought he had. If his career continues as it started, he will some day become and All Pro and possibly a HoFer.
The debates about whether Costa could be an effective starter should be quelled. As long a FredBeard does not get injured he will be relegated to back up duties. He should stick around for the next year as the inside flex guy. After 2014, that's another story.

Katherine Whitney, a senior outside hitter for the Rams in 2006, finished school in December and decided to try playing overseas. She was able to get a contract with Holte, a team just outside of Copenhagen Denmark.
The following journal chronicles her experience in Denmark for all of our fans
March 20, 2007
Hey Everyone,
Spring is finally here! Its been getting warmer every day, and the days are no longer short and grey. It still rains a bit, but most days are sunny--definitely a nice change!
We had last weekend free. Kind of a short break before we start the semi-finals. We have one more game next weekend which determines our ranking (we'll finish either 1, 2, or 3 but it depends on how the others do as well). I think there's a three way tie right now for first.
On Saturday I went to a Viking Ship Museum in the town of Roskilde. Its an old fjord where they found 5 sunken Viking ships from back in the day. They brought them up piece by piece and reassembled them to put on display in the museum. Then they started to build replicas of two of the ships so they could see how they sailed. They used all the same tools and techniques as the original ship builders and it took years to finish. The most impressive one is a long war ship (almost 100 feet long!) that they're planning on sailing from Roskilde to Dublin this summer. Remember these ships are completely open and have no modern equipment. It'll take 65 people and 2 weeks to cross the North Sea. Keep your eyes peeled, because this will probably be in the news later this summer.
Hope all's well. I miss you guys!

Calling Nibs: Accessories by Tatty Devine
Back in the day when quill pens were modern tech, nibs were both necessary objects and admired accessories. Thanks to the London-based design duo behind Tatty Devine, nibs are back again. But this time, they'd rather hang around your neck than rendezvous with parchment paper.
In the talented hands of Tatty Devine's Harriet Vine and Rosie Wolfenden, the oversized, gold acrylic laser-cut nibs adorning handmade necklaces, brooches and cufflinks ($60-$245) pair with black crystal drop beads for a result that's as sharply refined, yet full of cheek in that so-very-British kind of way.
"There's a lot of laser cut acrylic jewelry out there. Their stuff is fantastic because it pushes the envelope forward, but there's an element of class to it. It's not just for the younger, hipster crowd," says Chas Eden, co-owner of North Beach boutique Eden & Eden, the only San Francisco store to stock the label's nib-adorned collection.
Looking for a reason to check Tatty Devine's work out in person this week? Here's one: through Saturday, Eden & Eden will take 25 percent off any item of your choosing from the store's enviable assortment of clothing, home accessories and jewelry.

I was recently out for drinks with a friend and the conversation led to 'Googling' your own name. So I pulled out my trusty iPhone and Googled his name…
First result was his LinkedIn profile… good start!
The rest of the first page results were related to his name appearing in various charity and foundation Web documents. What can I say, "He is a quality guy!"
Then I asked a simple question, "Do you own your name.com?"
His answer didn't surprise me, "NO, how do you go about getting that?"
The conversation that led from there was me assuring him that it's not hard, it's not expensive and if your name is available you would be crazy not to make the annual investment of around $10 a year! So as we finished our drinks, I promised to send him an e-mail that night with a link where he could check to see if his name was available and purchase it at discount.
This is the link I sent him on how to search and purchase your own name online using a service called GoDaddy : GoDaddy (See & click on image below on what do when you get there)
Now, he is one of the lucky ones and will be picking up his name.com right away! If you have a very common name, like Mike Smith, then it is a totally different conversation. (If you are in that situation should mean an e-mail as I have a few friends in the domain brokerage business you may want to talk to!)

4.05/5 rDev +11.9%
A- Poured into a beer clean new belgium goblet, a cloudy straw color. Head is 2 fingers in height, white, and settled to a firm cap. Lacing is present.
S- Great yeast smell here, all kinds of lemon, clove, yeast, banana, herbaceous grassy notes, bits of apple, pear. Smells sweet but complex.
T- Starts out with big yeasty kick, lots of grassy notes/herbal hops and then transitions into a big peppery dryness with a little bit of pear note.
M- This beer coats the palette and the flavor builds well after the initial sip. This can be a touch cloying, however.
O- Overall, a nice take on a saison. I find the finish to be a little too long but with food, his can really shine. Definitely give this a swing, especially for the price and for the sake of supporting great local beer.

4.28/5 rDev +18.2%
Poured from 22 oz. bottle into a Sam Adams Perfect Pint glass.
Appearance: Pours a bright and somewhat cloudy pale golden orange with lots of rising bubbles. Huge six finger white head with good retention. leaves a lot of lacing clumps around the glass.
Smell: A nice fruity and spicy aroma. Good scent of Belgian yeast with some clove and pepper spices. Hints of citrus esters with orange and lemon zest. Hints of banana, pear, apple, and bubblegum along with a little coriander. Some wheat and pale malts round it out. Solid aroma.
Taste: Like the aroma hints, a nice mix of spicy yeast, fruits, and malt. Spicy Belgian yeast up front with notes of clove, pepper, and coriander. Good mix of fruit esters with notes of banana, apple, pear, bubblegum, and citrus orange and lemon zest. Some pale malts and wheat add a little bready character. Good taste.
Mouthfeel: Medium to light bodied with a moderate amount of carbonation. Creamy and somewhat juicy. Sweet but finishes somewhat dry.
Overall: A pretty nice take on a Saison. Spicy and a nice mix of fruits that avoids becoming cloying with the sweetness.

3.68/5 rDev +1.7%
Pours a hazy golden color with just over one finger of head that had good retention before settling to a thick cap. Moderate amount of sticky lacing is left down the glass.
Good Belgian aroma. The yeast gives esters and phenols in equal amounts. I detect banana, pears, citrus, cloves, and pepper. Pale malt and I believe a touch of wheat rounds out the aroma.
Yeast driven flavor with notes of banana, citrus, and pepper. A little weak on the malt even with this ABV. Semi-dry charactor that I prefer in my Saisons.
Light body bordering on thin. The carbonation is not very spirited. It does nothing to compliment this beer.
Satisfies my personal requirements of a Saison. Refreshing with some good yeast qualities. After the lackluster Camo, I came into this beer with the lowest of expectations but it easily surpassed them.

3.3/5 rDev -8.8%
Poured from bottle into generic snifter.
A - pours a hazy golden color with a nice fluffy head. Looks lovely. Head recedes to a thin a cap and nice lacing on the glass.
S - modest notes of bubblegum, banana and citrus.
T - bubblegum and banana are the main notes. I'm not getting any pepper or spice. I'd prefer a sharper taste. A bit sweeter than I'd like.
M - thin, but within the style. Not much carbonation half way through the glass.
O - a good farmhouse ale, but not one I'd seek out again. So far I've had 4 different Lucid beers, and all are average at best. I'm hoping this local brewery finds some traction soon with a strong flagship beer.

Hazy golden body with a creamy white head. Some lacing is present.
Bubblegum and banana nose.
Cloves are more prominent in the flavor, giving a brief shot of spice before yielding to banana and bubblegum. Slightly sweet, then another brief appearance of spice and bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium but does hold together well. Carbonation is moderate, and adds a little zing.
Finish is fairly clean. Bonus points for high drinkability. This Is an easy to quaff summer weight belgian, just as the name implies? Pretty good, even if not outstanding for the style.

Tasted 7 September 2012, reviewed from notes.
Pours a medium-pale straw yellow. Mostly clear, just a bit of fuzz from the yeast at the bottom of the bottle. One finger of white head, okay retention and lacing.
Smell is nice, but it's weird for the style. As it says on the label, banana and clove come through. This is a saison? Smells like a hefeweizen. A bit of spice is the only sign of a saison.
Taste is at least half in line with the style. Slightly funky, slightly spicy, both of those mostly in the back-end. Front still feels like a hefe - yeast-forward, banana-fruity. Odd, but not bad.
Mouthfeel is a bit flat. Medium-light body, feels slick, in a way that's again sorta odd for the style.
This beer is weird. Did they use a yeast that's usually used for hefeweizens? Certainly doesn't strike me as saison, though it's tasty enough.

Saison/Farmhouse Ale. Catagorically speaking a strange beast. Really a family of Belgian and Belgian inspired beers. Saison Dupont is probably the best known commercial example, with it's hoppy nose, strange peppercorn yeast character and bone dry, bitter finish. A beer does not need to be a Saison Dupont clone to be a saison though, and Summertide is no Dupont clone. It is however pretty good. Hazy orange colour. Bubblegum, clove, mild banana aroma. Vaguely reminiscent of a German Hefeweizen. As the aroma is very yeast driven, so to is the flavour. Here, the beer seems more typical of a Saison. Peppercorn, clove, floral hops and slight banana. A touch sweet, but it has just enough bitterness to balance. Perhaps a bit fuller bodied than I would care for, carbonation seems right. Overall though, this is a nice beer. Lots going on, certainly interesting and enjoyable.

Poured into a pint glass
Appearance - Dark Yellow with some carbonated bubbles along the sides. There's some mild cloudiness and the 2 finger head is rather soapy but has some surprisingly excellent retention. Lacing is also on the mild side, but it's sticky nonetheless
Smell - Bubblegum, Bananas, Cloves, Cotton Candy, Yeasts, Wheat, and Malts. For a Saison, this is very sweet smelling but pleasent; Almost like a desert beer.
Taste - Cloves, Bubblegum, Yeasts, Wheat, Barley and Malts. Again, this is a very sweet tasting Saison with it's Hefe-Cloves and sweetness. Add that in with the Wheat flavor and you get a very sweet and summery ale.
Mouthfeel - Light bodied and some mild carbonation. Feels surprisingly crisp and it's very easy to drink. Perhaps a bit too easy to drink, but I am one not to complain about this.
Overall - Since this is my first offering from Lucid, I have to say I'm very impressed by Summertide. It's got rich flavors and some excellent drinkability to back it up. Hopefully the other offerings they have will be just as good as this. With all the breweries popping up all around Minnesota, I can only hope that the quality gets even better than it already is.

No freshness dating
A= Pours a hazy pale yellow color with a thick white finger of head on it that keeps steady retention and lacing.
S= Smells bubblegummy with a nice spicy yeast character. A little coriander and some sort of clove and bannana mix. The dominate character is definitally spicy yeast.
T= The taste follows suit. Bubblegum up front with a clove bannana mix to follow. The finish is a little sweet for a saison in my opinion but not totally bad.
M= A little low on the carbonation for a saison.
O= Not bad. The camo from lucid disappointed me to be honest. A lot of these new Minnesota breweries I have written off because of bad beer. This isn't a bad beer. Saison with a sort of American twist I would say. A little sweet on the finish and a little light on the carbonation but to be honest it works. Lucid Camo doesn't follow style and neither does this. Lucid is transending style guidelines and in this case it works.

Lucid Summertide was featured as Kevin's Keg Choice at Tiffany's in St. Paul a couple of days ago. I appreciated the opportunity to try it.
Appearance: Cloudy yellow with 3/4" of foam. Quite a bit of lacing. Didn't see a lot of carbonation.
Smell: Tons of banana and some yeast like the smell rising bread. Some flowery, spicy notes. Reminded me of carnations. Overall, a very fresh smell.
Taste: Belgian banana taste was dominant, but there was a bit of spice, perhaps cloves. Very subdued hops presence. Lovely blend of flavors.
Mouthfeel: Sparkly,effervescent, light mouthfeel with a spicy finish.
Drinkability: Very drinkable and very refreshing.

Cloudy, pale golden coloring, slim, white head, settles to a taut ring.
Belgian yeast funks it forward in the aroma, wheat detected, too, and then citrus and spice. Nice enough.
Taste: soft, mellow, smooth…to a point. There's something off, here, something from the yeast, perhaps, that just throws the flavor in an unpleasant way. Further in, …not that unpleasant, just off. Okay, another couple sips, and it's unpleasantly off, again.
Let's look at the label, for fun: " Lucid Summertide Saison Ale, 5.5% Alc./Vol., The unique yeast in Summertide gives this beer a fruity, peppery aroma and flavor with notes of banana, bubblegum, and cloves. No spices were added to this beer! Smooth and balanced this Belgian-style beer is perfect for the season." Brewed and bottled by Lucid Brewing, Minnetonka, MN."
Isn't banana and clove mainly a hefe wizen thing? I can't remember getting much banana from a true saison. And bubblegum? Always with the bubblegum! Fruit and pepper, yeah, I'll give it that. This ought to be leaner, crisper, and brighter. Instead it's rather dank, dense, and murky. Not what I look for in a summer saison.
Sorry, guys, maybe next time.

The sun is our life source. An ally that warms us and helps feed us. Solar power converts sunlight into electricity, and for the guys at Peppermint Energy, it's feeding a project they think is like lightning in a bottle.
"Honestly, we think it's a life-changer. There's billions of people and I mean billions of people who's lives can truly be positively affected immediately when they get one of these in their hands," said Peppermint Energy CEO Brian Gramm.
The product Gramm is referring to is the Forty2 - an all-in-one mobile power supply that combines solar, lithium ion batteries, power inversion, and the brains of the unit.
"I'm not fixed. Why does my power have to be? Through that mentality is what you'll be able to see the Forty2, touch, feel, move around. It goes where you are to supply the power that you want where you happen to be using it," said Gramm.
That could be any spot on the map, and it could be helping us do the most basic of tasks. Right now, Peppermint Energy has been contacted by 25 different countries, and it's already signed up 18 nations to ship the Forty2. Hard to believe this technology all started here, not Silicon Valley.
"We're making the Forty2 in South Dakota. We're assembling it here, components are coming from here. We have a ton of design coming from here," said Gramm. "This is something we think is going to go out world-wide on a large scale. But, it's South Dakota minds, South Dakota brains, South Dakota hands, South Dakota talent putting this thing together."
For startups, cash is a constant concern. But, Gramm says that isn't what often wakes him up at night.
"The biggest challenge has been to continue to think big."
A glance at the sun is a good reminder of just how big Peppermint Energy can be.

Your exclusive SNN Obs for this Sunday Aug. 31st 640am update
Gorgeous dawn and Super Light trades again this morning with a chance of sea breeze mix late morning. Another hot one so pack the Bullfrog. High tide 830am 1.8 drops out all day to a .7 at 3pm. The old S-SSW fades as new 16 sec forerunners pop on new reinforcing SSW which will hit easy 4' this evening.
NORTH: Holding tiny at 0-1' at only isolated spots like Laniakea picking up on the remnant 13 second ENE Marie swell which never cranked as hoped; it's clear and lite offshore ENE trades; best for diving, paddling, swimming etc. See SNN Laniakea and Chuns cams. West: Makaha is dropping on the old SSW at 1-2' and still solid 3' sets at other west reefs & glassy. Watch for it to hold same size as new SSW fills all day. Town: Down and Dropping at mostly a clean offshore 2-3' from the old S-SSW with 3.5' 13 sec buoy swells; then it's rising all day on the new SSW to about 4' this afternoon at Ala Moana, Kaisers, Kewalos (check our Bowls-Courts CAM); light trade wind texture may compete with seabreezes pending land heating. Diamond Head: Down and Dropping on the old SSW at 2-3' and good light sideoffshore ENE trades (see SNN Cam). The new 16 second SSW is filling all day to solid 4'. Sandy's: Dropping on the recent SSW and E wrap (rising on new SSW all day) at a good clean 2-3' and plenty barrels and breaking all over with closing shorebreak. East: Makapu'u: Dropping from the ENE swell the slightly bumpy 1-3'. Some waves on the outside but most on the left to the middle mostly and a bit smaller at Keiki's...5-10 mph ENE trades.

Winds Statewide in a glance ...go HERE (this link is also the 4th drop down under weather)
Aug 29, 2014 4:00 AM HST
Easterly swell is still forecast to build over the Hawaiian coastal waters today, and advisory-level surf also will affect south-facing shores. Interaction between the long-period east and south swells may produce strong currents in some areas. The surf from both swells will decline slowly through the weekend.
With trade wind speeds more likely to diminish than to increase through the first half of the forecast period, it is doubtful that they will approach the criterion for a small craft advisory. However, the long-period easterly and southerly swell could produce locally large and confused seas.
High surf advisory until 6 am HST Saturday for Niihau, Kauai windward, Kauai leeward, Oahu south shore, Waianae coast, Oahu Koolau, olomana, Molokai, Lanai makai, Kahoolawe, Maui windward west, Maui leeward west, Maui central valley, windward Haleakala, leeward Haleakala, Kona, south Big Island, Big Island north and east.
The trade winds will weaken further, becoming light by early next week. A trough moving over the southeast half of the state may increase clouds and showers through about noon today. Over the weekend, sea breezes will encourage cloud buildups and a few showers in island interiors by day, while land breezes bring clearing at night. The trade winds may start to return by the middle of next week, though they will remain on the light side of average for some time.
Surface observations around the main Hawaiian islands reported very light trade winds. Precipitation across the state remained sparse, with individual totals also diminishing through the night. Since the inversion stayed high, and precipitable water adequate, these dry conditions probably were supported at least in part by land breezes.
Although a mid-level ridge prevailed to the southeast of the islands, a broad trough was present to the northwest through northeast. Most likely it was this feature that encouraged active towering cumuli to develop near 30°N.
Satellite estimates showed a plume of moister air approaching Maui county from the east, and the cloud feature associated with this plume developed considerably during the past few hours. In-station analysis suggested that this feature remained a trough rather than a closed low, at least near the surface, but in any case it may enhance rainfall later today as it moves ashore over Maui and Hawaii counties. Pops and associated fields have been increased accordingly.
Guidance predicted additional moisture surges to reach the state periodically into next week, though with time the different solutions ended up following different periods, complicating a deterministic forecast. With trade winds very weak by Monday, diurnal showers produced by sea breezes may dominate weather from day to day, with the moisture surges only amplifying the magnitude of the daily event.
In any case, ridging aloft will expand over the islands from the southeast during the weekend, so by next week subsidence will start to crush down the inversion. However, a front north of 30°N will keep the surface ridge anchored near the islands well into next week, so the trade winds will recover only very slowly.
The Jet down under has been dominant with equatorial bound (ENE) flows leading to plenty surf, but the last few days its been zonal (west to east) with 2 branches staying the same most this week. By Thursday/Friday there's another ENE tilt which will enhance a big storm but it'll be sending much of the energy off to our east since the equatorbound flow is far off NZL to under French Polynesia.
Recent: We've had nonstop surf for about 2 weeks; 2 Lows tracked SE of NZL Thursday 8/7 and these sources created surf the 1st weekend for the Dukes Oceanfest! Then a powerful Low a few days after with 55kts saw into our window SE of NZL hugging the East coast with a captured fetch. We got 18 sec forerunners Wed the 20th reaching 3' 15 sec swells or 2-4+ SSW surf Thursday midday and the final Dukes weekend…one of the best weeks for the OceanFest in over 5 years.
Currently, we saw some 4' sets from the SSW this past F-M from 2 sources: a gale 40kt storm east of NZL mid August. Her fetch head got to 3500 miles away which allowed for head high sets. Then a stronger system further SE of NZL with 47kts added more size over the weekend and into Monday. Some spots peaked 5' over the weekend but these were special cases/spots. Things level off to head high Tuesday.
Next: Another compact Low SE of NZL tracked east again last Monday-Tuesday and will keep us at 3' solid before a SSW swell arrives Wednesday.
Next: The Jet set up a long wave trough from Wednesday the 20th. We also saw a big High in the Taz which created solid winds in between the High spinning counter clockwise next to the Low spinning clockwise (opposite spins from the NPAC). This allowed a huge fetch area east of NZL last Thursday-Saturday. The head of the fetch got to within 3000 miles which is about 1000 miles closer than the usual. This means less ocean swell decay over distance and another round of advsry surf filling late Wednesday peaking Thursday into Saturday and even Sunday…High Surf threshold for South swell is 8' crest to trough which is what typical surfers look for. The NS needs 15' or twice the size which most surfers don't look for. Why the large difference is likely extra safety precautions where populations are greatest.
Next: : Models backed down big time on their output a week ago for a new event early Sept. A broad gale Low far east of NZL reached near Tahiti last weekend. Now, it's going to be 1-3' South Sunday-Tuesday.
Last couple: Low confidence of models showing a big broad storm up off the Ross Ice Shelf Wed the 27th which fades fast and followed up fast by a much bigger Low Thursday. The issue is the ENE track but side band swell should hit 3 maybe 4' with long periods Thursday sept 4-6th. Let's take a better look this weekend.
The weak Jet up North is continuing it's summer position with poor potential for swell enhancement, and tho' she's elongated the winds are too light for anything. Most the deeper troughing occurs under the gulf toward the end of the 7 day forecast.
Recent: It's been quite and average after the long run of Typhoon West swells and Hurricane N swells making Aug the best in memory. Reliable sources like Pat Kelly with over 40 years up there plus, a former NS Capt and SNN eye's on the country claimed it.
Next: East wrap from hurricane Maria will send long 2-3' 14-16 second periods producing surf up 4' around Kahuku and less to select spots toward Haleiwa starting Thursday and into the weekend.
Next: nothing is on the models out over 10 days.
Windward side:
Recently, small 2' East swell have been dominant but that's increasing today from 2 Tropical systems: Lowell and Karina off Baja and weakening. Then it goes up big time with a rare push of 14- 17 second East surf from Cat 5 Hurricane Maria tracking ENE off of Baja (see below). Surf on the windward spots will reach as high as 7' local scale. We also have two 1030mb High up beyond 40 north or 1200-1500 miles away keeping us in the typical trade wind pattern. So after this upcoming run its back to normal by next Wednesday.
Tropics: Cat 5 Hurricane Maria built this past weekend SSW of Baja and is expected to move NW and weaken to a Tropical Storm before Friday staying over 1200 miles to our NE. She built 40' seas and will send off some of that High surf advsry East swell Thursday-Saturday. The main feature will be the long periods which refract and shoal off the ocean floor much more than the typical 8-10 sec windswell we usually ride. Watch for spots to break with more power and current.
FETCH: Often called the fetch length, is a term for the length of water or distance over which a given wind direction has blown. Fetch length along with the wind speed (or strength) determines the size of waves produced. The longer the fetch length and the faster the wind speed, the larger and stronger the wave will be and vice versa.
CAPTURED or FOLLOWING FETCH: Not only does the fetch length determine the power and energy of the wave. Additionally, if the winds/fetch are blowing in the same direction as during the wave's or storm's lifetime, the wave will in turn be even stronger. The fetch is related to the orbit of the wave and track of the storm.The longer the wind drags along the sea the more energy the wave will have. This can be seen not just in vertical height measurement but in wave period (the measurement of waves through time).
WAVES PERIOD:Time, in seconds, between the passage of consecutive wave crests past a fixed point. In general the longer the period the bigger the wave. Windswell or 'close interval' swells are under 10 seconds. Big 'ground swells' are 17-20+ seconds (note: a 20+ second swell needs storm force 50+kt winds blowing over a 1500 mile fetch to be fully developed' into 20-25' beasts; these 20 second waves can be felt 1000 feet down!). This is why they jack so much more, pulling large amounts of H2O off the outer reefs.

Former sprinter Pamela Jelimo became the breakout track star of 2008 when she began running the 800 meters early in the season. Despite her lack of experience, she was clearly the class of the field in Beijing, winning the 800 in a world junior record time of 1:54.87. Later in the year she posted a personal best 1:54.01. Her momentum didn't continue into 2009, however. Jelimo was rarely among the leaders and failed to reach the final at the World Championships in Berlin.
A running start:
Jelimo began running at age 13 at the suggestion of her teachers in Kapsabet, Kenya. She became a solid sprinter, good enough to win the African junior 400-meter title in 2007, at age 17, with a time of 54.93. She also set a Kenyan junior record of 24.68 in the 200 meters.
From sprint to 800:
In 2007, Jelimo's coaches recommended she try the 800 meters. In her first notable 800-meter race she finished in 2:01.02, at altitude in Nairobi, at the African Championship Trials in April, 2008. But that was just the beginning, as Jelimo proceeded to lower her times and make big waves in the track world through the spring and summer. She set a Kenyan junior record of 1:58.70 at the African Championships in May, then broke the world junior record with a 1:55.76 clocking at an IAAF World Athletics Tour event. She lowered her mark to 1:54.99 and then 1:54.97 at two later Golden League events.
The stats:
Pamela Jelimo (sometimes spelled "Chelimo") was born on Dec. 5, 1989, in Kapsabet, Kenya. She's trained with fellow Kapsabet native Janeth Jepkosgei, the 2007 World Outdoor champion.

Homeopathy ("home-ee-AH-pah-thy"), also known as homeopathic medicine, is a form of health care that developed in Germany and has been practiced in the United States since the early 19th century. Homeopathic practitioners are commonly called homeopaths. This fact sheet answers some frequently asked questions on homeopathy and reviews scientific research on its use and effectiveness.
Key Points
- In homeopathy, a key premise is that every person has energy called a vital force or self-healing response. When this energy is disrupted or imbalanced, health problems develop. Homeopathy aims to stimulate the body's own healing responses.
- Homeopathic treatment involves giving extremely small doses of substances that produce characteristic symptoms of illness in healthy people when given in larger doses. This approach is called "like cures like."
- Various explanations have been proposed as to how homeopathy might work. However, none of these explanations has been scientifically verified.
- Research studies on homeopathy have been contradictory in their findings. Some analyses have concluded that there is no strong evidence supporting homeopathy as effective for any clinical condition. However, others have found positive effects from homeopathy. The positive effects are not readily explained in scientific terms.
- It is important to inform all of your health care providers about any therapy that you are currently using or considering, including homeopathic treatment. This is to help ensure a safe and coordinated course of care.
The term homeopathy comes from the Greek words homeo, meaning similar, and pathos, meaning suffering or disease. Homeopathy is an alternative medical system. Alternative medical systems are built upon complete systems of theory and practice, and often have evolved apart from and earlier than the conventional medical approach used in the United States.a Homeopathy takes a different approach from conventional medicine in diagnosing, classifying, and treating medical problems.
Key concepts of homeopathy include:
- Homeopathy seeks to stimulate the body's defense mechanisms and processes so as to prevent or treat illness.
- Treatment involves giving very small doses of substances called remedies that, according to homeopathy, would produce the same or similar symptoms of illness in healthy people if they were given in larger doses.
- Treatment in homeopathy is individualized (tailored to each person). Homeopathic practitioners select remedies according to a total picture of the patient, including not only symptoms but lifestyle, emotional and mental states, and other factors.

UCrawford mentioned this in the comments of the Position Review: Linebackers post, but it was buried pretty deep so I wanted to start a new thread to get your opinions.
So Shawne Merriman has apparently torn his PCL - the report on NFLN is here. From what I can gather from this article, it sounds like he is considering playing this season with it injured. I don't know much about which CL is more critical, but I was under the impression that tearing any of them is a bad situation (ACL, MCL, PCL). It sounds like Norv is on board with whatever as well... but is more concerned with him being available if they make the playoffs.
I can understand not wanting to lose a critical part of your defense (Norv) and not wanting to sit out an entire season (Shawne), but does it seem crazy to anybody else that he is hoping for a little patch-job so that he can play this season?? I'm trying to think of how I would feel if it were Derrick Johnson in a similar situation... of course the Chiefs aren't expected to be a contender like San Diego is, so the circumstances are different. I'd probably tell Derrick to get healthy so he can come back next year when we will be more potent.
Anyway, what are your thoughts on this? Is it madness?
