Growing Up in Vancouver | Community Advocate |Parent and Husband | Professional Career
Growing Up in Vancouver
Kerry is a born and raised Vancouverite. His grandparents emigrated to Vancouver from southern China at the turn of the century. His father, Leslie, is a retired plumber (one of the first unionized tradesmen of Chinese descent) who worked on some of the largest projects in the Lower Mainland such as the Vancouver Aquarium and Simon Fraser University. He spent over 20 years with the Vancouver School Board making sure the bathrooms worked and water flowed throughout Vancouver schools.
His mother, May is also retired after a long administrative career with the Provincial Court of British Columbia. While Kerry and his siblings were young children, May taught Chinese cooking as part of the VSB's night school program and sold cookware.
Kerry started working when he was 13 years old at the PNE. As a student at Windermere Secondary School in East Vancouver, he worked at a number of restaurants where he washed dishes and bused tables where he learned the value of a dollar. He also worked for a number of years in a grocery store in Chinatown and on Powell Street where he became painfully aware of Vancouver's problems with addiction, poverty and homelessness. He also saw first-hand the challenges new immigrants faced in a new country and learned from them how to bring a community together to make positive changes that affect everyone.
Not a stellar high school student by any stretch of the imagination, he went to Vancouver Community College to get his grades up and went to Simon Fraser University where he obtained his bachelor's and master's degrees in psychology. From there, he went to the University of Western Ontario for a PhD, and moved home as quickly as possible to be with his then sweetheart, now wife, Vicki.
Community Advocate
By the mid 1980s, Kerry began volunteering throughout Vancouver as an activity worker with the Canadian Mental Health Association, a relationship he continued as a Board member and supporter.
After university, Kerry again re-focused on community needs by accepting an appointment on the Board of Directors of the Open Leaning Agency from 1998 through 2001. In this role he worked to make quality education and educational programming via the Knowledge Network available to everyone in British Columbia .
In 2002 Kerry joined the Collingwood Neighbourhood House. He worked to educate parents on the risks children at local schools faced by the drug and sex trades. He sat on the Board from 2003-2005, two of those years as President. During this time he was very active working to restore funding for several community support and harm prevention programs lost to cutbacks at the municipal and provincial government levels. He also developed new programs that brought together residents, politicians, experts and the police to address the pressing issue of homeless in this community.
In 2004, Kerry worked to give Vancouver residents a greater voice at City Hall by serving as the co-chair for the "Yes for Wards" campaign.
In 2006, Kerry's work on the homeless program was recognized with his selection as the 2006 Academic of the Year by the Confederation of Faculty Associations of British Columbia.
In 2007, in recognition of his volunteer work in Collingwood and activities across Vancouver, Kerry was honoured with a 2007 Community Achievement Award from the Province of British Columbia.
At this time, Kerry also volunteered with Think City, a citizens group devoted to promoting citizen engagement in civic affairs, such as budget consultations and policy development. With the assistance of the Tides Foundation, Kerry helped arrange a forum that brought together residents and agencies from across Vancouver to share their experiences and learn from each other on how to tackle major issues such as housing, homelessness, and addiction. The results of the forum were published in a report.
This year, the many departments that make up UBC's Faculty of Medicine have selected Kerry for a Community Service Award for his years of volunteer and Board work that have made a real difference in people's lives.
Today, Kerry spends much of his volunteer time with the newly established Mental Health Commission of Canada. Within this organization, Kerry was appointed to the Mental Health and the Law Advisory Committee by Michael Kirby. This committee is tasked to help set national policy and standards on mental health and to provide a knowledge exchange and assist in the creation of an anti-stigma campaign. The work of this body will directly impact municipalities like Vancouver on issues such as policing, corrections, housing standards and management for areas like the Downtown East Side along with other parts of the city.
Kerry is a frequent media commentator on city issues. He brings the voice of the community to city debates.
Parent and Husband
Kerry and his wife Vicki have two children, Nicholas and Rachel. They live in the Renfrew-Collingwood area in East Vancouver, a mere six blocks from where he grew up. Like all parents, Kerry and Vicki spend much of their time with the children going to piano, martial arts and gymnastic classes. As a family, they attend rallies and events that teach understanding and respect for different cultures, lifestyles and points-of-view.
When Kerry gets a free moment, he likes to do nautical research, build model ships and paint model soldiers with Nicholas, and help Rachel clean her hamster cage and build aquariums. Kerry has a PlayStation Personal but hasn't had much time to play games on it.
|Professional Career
At UBC, Kerry is a Professor of Psychiatry who teaches at UBC Medical School helping train future physicians in the basic sciences.
He has received national and international awards for his research on the causes of mental illness and has authored over 100 publications and a book on the subject, which has just been translated into Japanese.
Kerry sits on the editorial boards of a number of international scientific journals. At the request of Canadian Institute of Health Research and the National Institutes of Health his expertise is sought to peer reviews public health and scientific research proposals. Kerry is an internationally sought after speaker on the role of genetics and experience on mental health, as well as a local media expert on these issues. His research in genetics is funded by competitive grants, such as CIHR.

text: 'Cabin Fever' in Frigid Temps May Cause Uptick in Domestic, Pet Abuse Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 8 Jan 2014 post a comment As record-low and deadly temperatures swept across much of the nation this week, there were fewer crimes reported on the streets of big cities like Chicago, but authorities indicated that there may be increases in the number of domestic abuse claims. When the weather gets frigid, "cabin fever" may make people--and even pets--more prone to abuse if they are living in cramped spaces with people who have a history of such violence. Bonnie Bucqueroux used to worry her husband would beat her every time the weather turned cold. "He was a heavy drinker and often I found myself in a bad situation, trapped in our trailer with not enough money for a phone," she told ABC News. "One snowy evening, I walked into the kitchen just to try and sweep up the floor. I didn't know he had crept up behind me. For some reason, he grabbed me and threw me across the room, bouncing me off the cabinets. He kicked me and threw me out in the snow and locked the door." This was in 1962, and Bucqueroux is now 69, widowed, teaches at Michigan State University, and was the former executive director of the Michigan Victim Alliance. Bucqueroux "also advises that pet abuse can be a problem in bad weather" since "abusers are also the ones who kick the dog." Bucqueroux said incidents of domestic abuse due to "cabin fever" are underreported because victims, like herself, are often too ashamed to say anything. She said stress levels can peak when people living together are young and poor. According to ABC, the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network (RAINN) "has reported a high number of calls in December and so far in January, when storms and cold kicked in." In addition, RAINN's National Sexual Assault Online Hotline usage was up 20 percent since the fall.

Savoy cabbage and brussels sprouts with tahini and sesame seeds
Yes – another savoy cabbage and brussels sprouts recipe. I know what you're thinking… But be sure I wouldn't bother writing these lines and taking photos of this dish – if it wasn't SO incredibly tasty!!
Still with me?
I've been cooking this dish once a week for a while now and I'm thrilled. I always keep a jar of unhulled sesame seeds in the pantry and I use them mainly in Asian-inspired dishes. But then one day in January I sprinkled my roasted brussels sprouts with some sesame seeds and I immediately loved the combination! Next time I stirred in a couple of spoonfuls of dark tahini… and the rest is history (as they say).
Ingredients for 1 serving:
2 leaves savoy cabbage, chopped
15-20 brussels sprouts, halved or whole if small
1 Tbsp coconut oil
sea salt, to taste
1 Tbsp dried savory leaves
2 Tbsp (dark) tahini
1-2 Tbsp (unhulled) sesame seeds
1. Heat the coconut oil in a frying pan on medium heat. Stir-fry the savoy cabbage and brussels sprouts for 5-7 minutes, season with salt and savory.
2. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Mix tahini with a small amount of water and pour over the vegetables. Cook for another minute of two, then serve immediately.

Don't believe radical animal activists' smear tactics

PETA and radical animal activists everywhere rejoiced last week when SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment released its third quarter earnings, which were 28% lower than the same quarter last year. The activists oppose the human use of animals, and are seeking to use the news to advance their high profile but broadly unsuccessful campaign against aquariums, zoos and circuses.

Over-regulation of e-cigarettes will lead to dire public health consequences
November 11, 2014 • Cleveland Plain Dealer
In his Nov. 2 column, "E-cigarettes promote nicotine to a new generation," Cuyahoga County Health Commissioner Terry Allan misses the point about the potential benefits of e-cigarettes.
The FDA's top tobacco regulator, Mitch Zeller recently addressed the issue thoughtfully. He told the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation if "people are smoking for the nicotine, but dying from the tar," then the FDA should develop a nicotine regulatory policy recognizing the "continuum of risk: that there are different nicotine...products that pose different levels of risk to the individual."

Missoula, MT (Sports Network) - The University of Montana is bringing back head football coach Mick Delaney for the 2014 season after he led the Grizzlies back to the FCS playoffs this season.
Delaney was completing a two-year contract this season. His new deal, pending approval by the Montana Board of Regents, would run through Jan. 31, 2015.
"It's such a humbling experience, and the day before Thanksgiving I have so much to be thankful for," said Delaney, who notified his team about the year- long extension following its morning practice. "Where I am at in my career, and to be able to stay at the University of Montana one more year, is just almost unbelievable."
Delaney's two-year record at Montana is 15-8, including 10-2 this season. The Grizzlies are seeded eighth for the playoffs, and after a first-round bye, they will play either Bethune-Cookman or Coastal Carolina in the second round on Dec. 7.
Delaney will turn 71 on Tuesday. He is in his 29th season of coaching at the college level, and has been in the coaching profession for more than 40 years.

In February, 2010, the BBC aired a 5 part series on gypsy children pickpockets who target both tourists and locals all across Europe . This is a very interesting expose on the issue of child pickpockets.
This 5 part special provides great video footage on child pickpockets who target tourists around Europe, including Barcelona Spain, Italy, and other European locations. While this BBC special takes a more social view on the issue of gypsy children – especially the fact that most are forced into a life of crime – mainly pickpocketing – you get a different taste of issue as it may impact you when traveling overseas.
You will also be provided information regarding why child pickpockets are not arrested and prosecuted in Europe – which is one of the largest reason why child pickpockets are so prevalent in Europe.
Anyone going to Europe should watch the below video series to understand how to recognized and avoid child pickpockets. This is an unfortunate, but real issues that impacts tourists across Europe.

Over the past two decades, the settlement patterns of immigrants in the United States have changed as an increasing number of the foreign born are choosing to make states in the southern and middle regions of the country their home. MPI's Aaron Terrazas profiles the immigrants in these "new-destination" states and compares them to the rest of the foreign-born population.
Destination countries of unaccompanied child migrants struggle with many questions related to why children migrate, how they should be received and processed, and whether they should be protected, integrated, or returned to their home countries. Amanda Levinson of ThirdSpace Consulting provides the context within which unaccompanied child migration occurs, and analyzes the policy response of the United States and European destination countries.
MPI's Muzaffar Chishti and Claire Bergeron report on the rise in state-level action on immigration enforcement, the resuming deportations of Haitians, Mexico's inclusion in the Global Entry trusted traveler program, and more.
Los Estados Unidos es hogar para aproximadamente 2.9 millones de inmigrantes provenientes de los países centroamericanos Belice, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, y Panamá. La migración de Centroamérica ha crecido rápidamente en las recientes décadas, pero más de dos de cada cinco inmigrantes centroamericanos carecen de estatus migratorio legal mientras que alrededor de uno en diez residen en los Estados Unidos bajo la protección temporal humanitaria.
The 2.9 million Central American immigrants living in the United States were more likely than both the native born and the foreign-born population overall to be of working age and to be participating in the U.S. labor force. MPI's Aaron Terrazas examines the population's size, geographic distribution, and demographic characteristics.

This report provides an overview of several commonly used translation and interpretation technologies. It aims to assist language access practitioners in understanding and identifying which systems would best meet their agency's language access needs.
This fact sheet, based on analysis of the U.S. Census Bureau's 2009 American Community Survey, documents the top languages spoken by English Language Learners (ELLs) nationwide and on a state level.
In 2010, based on changes to the DREAM Act legislation pending in Congress, MPI issued revised total and state-level estimates of the unauthorized youth and young adults who might be eligible for conditional legal status, updating its DREAM vs. Reality fact sheet.
This policy brief shows that more unauthorized immigrants in the United States have been legalized through population-specific and registry programs than through the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act general legalization provisions.
This policy brief examines the legalization debate on both sides of the Atlantic and discusses policy parameters that characterize legalization programs, such as qualifications, requirements, benefits, and program design and implementation.
This brief argues that an essential first step to any type of U.S. legalization must be a registration process that rapidly identifies, screens, and processes potential applicants. The government could successfully administer a large-scale legalization only with a well-crafted bill, sufficient funding, an unprecedented mobilization of public and private stakeholders, and intensive planning.
This report provides an overview of diaspora advocacy by looking at five issues: who participates in diaspora advocacy, who or what are the "targets" in these efforts, what means are used to advance these causes, what are the issues on which they focus, and the effectiveness of the efforts.
This edited volume examines the development impact of diasporas in six critical areas: entrepreneurship, capital markets, "nostalgia" trade and "heritage" tourism, philanthropy, volunteerism, and advocacy.

Current Wildland Fire Danger: High
The Jarrell VFD has launched a storm shelter registry program. If you live in the Jarrell Fire District, and have a storm shelter, please send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com provide the following information:
On March 10, 2014, County Judge Dan A. Gattis lifted the burn ban for unincorporated areas of Williamson County. Use care in conducting controlled burns.Prior to conducting controlled burns, please call and report your controlled burn to Williamson County Communications at (512) 943-1389. Williamson County Communications should be able to inform you of any burning restrictions that may exist.
Prevention Message:
Although some areas of Texas received rain, the state remains in a drought. Use caution when outdoors, it only takes one spark. Homes near wildland areas are at risk of burning in a wildfire, but a little advance preparation can greatly increase your home's chance of survival. Remove dead vegetation within 30 feet of your house. Trim tree branches up from the ground and away from your house. Clean needles and dry leaves out of gutters. Create a firewise space around your house that is lean, clean, and green.

"You know there's something you should know, so I'm gonna tell you so! Don't sweat it! Forget it! Enjoy the show!"Titanic: The Legend Goes On — also known as Titanic: The Animated Movie or Titanic: The Animated Musical — is an animated film written and directed by Italian director Camillo Teti. The film follows the adventures of a Cinderella Captain Ersatz named Angelica, who boards the Titanic with her wicked stepmother and her stepsisters. In a role-reversal of the romance from the better-known James Cameron film, the poor girl falls in love with a rich young man (whose nanny happens to be Angelica's long-lost real mother).Accompanying them on the voyage are a family of immigrant mice, a Cruella de Vil lookalike and her Cockney henchmen, a detective who dresses like Sherlock Holmes, a trio of Mexican mice, and a rapping dog. You will not be able to follow what they're doing or why they're doing it. Then again, you probably wouldn't want to.The ship eventually hits an iceberg and sinks, of course — but in this Lighter and Softer fairy tale treatment of the Titanic story, in an apparent attempt to create a child-friendly version depiction of a real-life disaster, nearly all of the characters we're introduced to in this film survive the disaster and live Happily Ever After.Cameron's Titanic was based on an actual tragic event where well over 1,500 people died. Some reviewers wonder if Camillo Teti knew this, or whether he thought the Titanic legend was just that and decided to do a Lighter and Softer animated imitation of the Cameron film with a whole bunch of talking cartoon animals for (alleged) comic relief. Cameron is often criticized for his massaging of certain facts to fit his story (the descendents of one crew member were particularly upset at his portrayal), but at least he took the whole event seriously.Since it's hard to find copies of this film, many people don't even believe this film exists. The people who have seen it don't want to believe it exists. As of 2012, it was rated as literally the worst movie of all time by users at the Internet Movie Database (it has since fallen to #61). When watched with other people, it becomes So Bad, It's Good and is a perfect subject for riffing — a good party movie, if you will.There are two versions of the film: the original cut, and a lesser-known cut which features completely different songs, two times the repeated dialogue, three times the Stock Sound Effects, three times the MIDI background music, and (shockingly) a much more coherent plot than the original cut. The latter version was bundled free with some cheap DVD player bundles in the early days of DVD technology. Mutant Reviewers from Hell has more information about the two versions.By the way, here's the plot description from the back of the video box:
— Fritz, opening the "Party Time" number
Set aboard the famous ship Titanic, where you will meet many lovable characters as they embark on a fun-filled adventure across the sea! Meet Angelica a young, beautiful girl who dreams of meeting her prince charming [sic]. Sir William Greenfield a rich and handsome yet shy and modest Scottish nobleman. Corynthia Meanstreak an able swindler who is aided by her two clumsy nephews Kirk and Dirk. And of course we can't forget all the lovable Animals [sic] who populate the Titanic and will tell their own stories. Maxie the mouse, Geoffrey the cat, Danny the Dalmatian, Hector the Magpie and more!! Together these characters conjure up delightful entertainment for kids of all ages!Compare The Magic Voyage, another disastrous animated film Very Loosely Based on a True Story.Not to be confused with the other Titanic musical, which has a well-written score and is about the actual people who were on the ship.Nor should it be confused with another Italian film called The Legend of the Titanic, which is an entirely different animated ripoff of Titanic that features more talking mice, a "save the whales" plot, and a giant octopus which saves the ship.
As it happened in the real story, the Titanic will hit the iceberg but only to determine the beginning of a new life full of hope for everybody!! Filled with hilarious antics, fun music and enchanting characters this movie is sure to be a hit with the entire family !
Titanic: The Legend Goes On proves examples of the following tropes:

Given the exponential growth in mobile phone usage, more businesses are adopting mobile communication strategies to engage with existing and potential customers. With 97% of all mobile marketing text messages being opened by their intended recipients, mobile text message marketing is both effective and lucrative. However, businesses must ensure that such messages comply with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), which generally prohibits sending unsolicited commercial text messages. Indeed, TCPA litigation has become the recent darling of class action lawyers due to uncapped statutory damages and is sure to increase with the heightened consent regulations promulgated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), effective October 16, 2013. However, businesses cannot escape liability simply by obtaining prior express consent, as more businesses are being forced into multi-million dollar settlements for exceeding the scope of consent granted by their mobile customers. This Article examines recent trends in how the FCC and the courts are delineating the contours of consent for mobile text messaging under the TCPA and provides ways businesses can engage with mobile customers without running afoul of the TCPA.

To qualify for copyright protection under the current Copyright Act, a work must, inter alia, be fixed in a tangible medium of expression. This requirement is easily met when a work is embodied in a historical medium of mass expression like a printed book, photograph, or audio recording. However, when an author departs from such established media of fixation, the requirement can create a more significant barrier to copyrightability. Three decades ago, digital media provided one such challenge. Today, authors and lawyers alike are pushing the conceptual boundaries of communicative media, and this has led to some controversial recent judicial decisions on fixation. This Article contextualizes and explores the implications of those decisions. It also points out some of the practical and conceptual pitfalls that lawyers and courts may encounter in similar cases as the limits of fixation are further tested.

In June 2013 the Supreme Court held that naturally occurring human DNA cannot be patented, but synthetically created DNA is patent-eligible. Though a major victory for patients' rights, the holding of Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics appears to be the latest in a series of restrictions on patents and the human body, much to the annoyance of biotechnology companies. However, this case should not be viewed as the final word in patenting "natural phenomena." Patent claims of genetic material are still viable when the claim details a new and useful improvement on the naturally occurring product or an application of the product to a process. Furthermore, the Myriad Court noted that extending the natural products rule too far would be against public policy, giving litigators room to explore the contours of this rule.
This Article examines the limits of the Supreme Court's decision and the avenues that potential patent seekers still have for making eligible patent claims on naturally occurring products and phenomena, as well as the processes for identifying such products and phenomena. It highlights the areas where the courts are likely to take a hard stance against patent eligibility and where opportunities still exist to claim a valid patent in three areas. First, though discovery of a natural process in its naturally-occurring state is now un-patentable, the Myriad holding signals that a variation on this natural state, no matter how slight, could make the product eligible for a patent under the "new and useful improvements" rule. Second, the "application of new processes" rule is unchanged by this case. Third, a public policy argument on the importance of protecting medical and genetic discoveries may be more relevant in light of Myriad's broad holding.

Edward Snowden became a household name on June 5, 2013, when he leaked highly classified documents revealing that the American Government was spying on its citizens. The information exposed that the National Security Agency (NSA) collected millions of American's metadata through forced cooperation with telephone-service providers. Metadata contains sensitive and private information about a person's life. When collected and searched, metadata can reveal a portrait of a person's intimate activities amounting to a violation of one's reasonable expectation of privacy.
This Article suggests changing the current standard allowing the NSA to collect and search metadata under Section 215 of the USA PATRIOT Act. The threshold needed to obtain and search a person's metadata should be raised from the current standard of reasonable and articulable suspicion to a higher burden of probable cause. Since Mr. Snowden's unauthorized disclosure, there has been public outcry regarding metadata collection. In response, President Obama issued a Public Policy Directive limiting the scope of metadata that the NSA can collect. Additionally, Congress has proposed legislation changing how the NSA collects, stores, and searches metadata. The bills, however, keep intact the minimum reasonable and articulable standard necessary to search metadata.
The breadth of information that can be gleaned from metadata makes it intrusive and subjects it to the Fourth Amendment. Yet gathering and searching metadata can be a valuable tool in the fight against terrorism and protecting American citizens from future attacks. Requiring the threshold to be raised to a probable cause determination adequately balances privacy interests against national security interests.

Two Best Cowboy Records; David Allan Coe Marries; Merle Haggard Wants to Regurgitate When He Hears ____
- Tom Russell on Marty Robbins' Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs and Tex Ritters' Blood on the Saddle: "If God made two better cowboy records (to paraphrase W.S. Burroughs) he kept them to his glorious self."
- Country California Fake News: Craig Wiseman Turns Shopping List Into Life-Affirming Anthem
- With the ever-increasing sales at outlets like iTunes, Amazon, QVC, and concert halls, Mike Severson asks if they should really be considered non-traditional.
- Bucky Covington is not what you'd call perceptive:
Who's the coolest person you've met?
Billy Bob Thornton. I went to his house and hung out drinking lukewarm Coronas. This guy is the epitome of cool. We were talking movies and music, and he brings up the movie 'Sling Blade,' and I said, 'Were you in 'Sling Blade'? That was a great movie!' And he thanked me. I asked who he was in 'Sling Blade,' and he said, 'Carl.' I said, 'That's the main character!' I didn't even know he was in it! But actually technically that's a huge compliment to an actor, that I watched the movie, and I didn't know it was [him]! And he wrote the dang movie as well!
Music Fog: Chatham County Line – "Crop Comes In"
- Outlaw David Allan Coe married his longtime girlfriend Kimberley Hastings on Saturday, making this his sixth marriage.
- Great American Taxi is offering a free download of "Appalachian Soul" from their debut album to raise awareness for a coal miners relief fund. Check out their website for the download and more details.
- Even Merle Haggard has songs he regrets, like "If We're Not Back In Love by Monday:"
"I absolutely hate that song. I can't stand to hear it," Haggard says. "It makes me want to regurgitate."
- In an interview with Peep's Joe Guerra, Miranda Lambert declares "Dead Flowers" her favorite song that she's ever written and says she was upset it never gained momentum at radio.
- Streaming concerts from NPR: Ray Wylie Hubbard on Mountain Stage and John Hiatt and Robert Earl Keen on World Cafe.
- The album recommendation of the month from Alt-512 Music Musings is James Keyes' Ruminations.
The first thing that strikes us is Keyes' voice which immediately conjurs recollections of the rasp inherent to the likes of Otis Gibbs and Ryan Bingham coupled with the low wash of fellow New Englanders Slaid Cleaves and/or Rod Picott. The songs themselves fall somewhere in the Ray Wylie Hubbard and Gurf Morlix realm in terms of the sense of spiritualism and stripped down honesty. Sometimes, less is more. And that is definitely the case with Keyes' Ruminations.
- The only currently scheduled Texas show on Dierks Bentley's "Up On the Ridge" bluegrass tour will take place at The Parish in Austin this Saturday. The Travelin McCourys and Hayes Carll are set to perform as well.
- CMT's Chris Parton has good things to say about the film Provinces of Night, which stars Kris Kristofferson and Dwight Yoakam.
- Farce the Music thinks country radio needs more songs like Dierks Bentley's "Up On the Ridge."

Bucky Covington does not sound like he is the sharpest knife in the drawer.
How is Bucky Covington still alive?
FYI, the Travelin' McCourys are Dierks' backup band on this tour.
"Dead Flowers" is a great song, lyrically, but the production sounds too much like Rascal Flatts, something like their "Take Me There."
"Dead Flowers" is actually my favorite Miranda Lambert song too.
Six marriages for David Allan Coe? At least he's not one of those stereotypical conservative older Southerners out there rallying against gay marriage and the need to protect the "sanctity" of it all.
As for Bucky Covington, sigh, I really don't know what to say. What an idiot.
I agree with Lucas.
Bucky was also shocked to discover that the guy who played Doyle in "Slingblade" has a singing career, too.
Has anyone heard stuff from the Bentley album yet? I'm not a fan of "Up on the Ridge", I'll have to say. He'll be in Portland, ME. at a smaller venue, just two hours from us, but it's during the workweek, which makes two hours impossible. Too bad.
great interview with the Hag
Bucky is an absolute idiot. I'm sure Billy didn't take that as a compliment..
Up On The Ridge is a phenomenal track, and I'm super pumped to say that we added it to heavy rotation right outta the box. I'm super stoked about the rest of the album, and really feel this is the direction Country radio needs to go in. Trying something DIFFERENT!! We've got Miranda's "House That Built Me", Zac's "Free" and now Dierks going a little different with "Up On The Ridge" – it's a great first step!!
I've liked Chatham County Line for some time. "WSM 650″ is one tune I really remember liking from them.
The one song of Hag's that always makes me regurgitate is that little ditty he wrote praising Shrillary Rotten Clinton. Although a lot of his output since "Big City" leaves me a little bit queasy…
I see why Sucky's fan base is so loyal! His concerts are a place where airheads are welcomed without any condescending judgemental attitudes springing forth from folks with a superior intellect.
The new Dierks single seems to be a bit controversial in the country music blogosphere. Its almost enough to motivate me to want to give it a listen. Almost…
The reason Hag regrets "If We're Not Back In Love by Monday" according to his past interviews is that he attached it to a melody too similar to "If We Make It Through December" and messed up his band trying to keep the two soings straight
Glad you showed the Corb Lund video. I hope more people familiarize themselves with his music, as he's got some great stuff.
David Allan Coe is bad to da bone. If that aint country, I'll kiss yo aaa. David's so bad, he doesn't have to stress his s's! At least he says kiss instead of KICK! I'd hate to tick him off!!

Structures Congress 2009: Don't Mess with Structural Engineers: Expanding Our Role
Shearwalls constructed with wood structural panels, such as plywood and oriented strand board (OSB), have been used to resist combined shear and wind uplift forces for many years in the U.S. For example, the Southern Building Code Congress International (SBCCI) published SSTD 10,
Standard for Hurricane Resistant Residential Construction
, in 1999, which provided the shear resistance table for wood structural panels. When wood structural panels are used in combined shear and wind uplift, SSTD 10-99 also tabulated the wind uplift resistance of wood structural panels with a minimum thickness of 12 mm (15/32 in.) when used in conjunction with the shear resistance table. Working with researchers at the National Home Builders Association Research Center (NAHB RC), Norbord Industries sponsored full-scale combined shear and uplift tests, showing that the cross-grain bending of the bottom plate, which is a brittle failure mode, could be avoided by using 5.8 x 76 x 76 mm (0.229 x 3 x 3 in.) plate washers with anchor bolts. The NAHB RC tests were conducted in lateral shear and tension (uplift) separately, and the effect of combined shear and uplift was evaluated based on an engineering analysis. After reviewing the NAHB RC study, APA and Norbord jointly conducted full-scale combined shear and wind uplift tests at Clemson University to gather more data on this subject. The test setup at Clemson University was capable of increasing the shear and wind uplift forces simultaneously until failure was reached by using a pulley system controlling the bi-axial forces in both lateral and vertical directions. Results of the Clemson study were used to support the development of engineering standards and changes to the national building code in the U.S., and are reported in this paper. In 2007, APA constructed new combined shear and wind uplift test equipment that is capable of bi-axial loading in both lateral and vertical directions with independent but synchronized loading mechanisms. The vertical load can be applied as either an uplift force or a downward gravity load. Research results using this new equipment are utilized to enhance the understanding of the design on the bi-axial combined shear and wind uplift. This paper describes the latest finding from this research.

Where to buy pot right now in Colorado: Country's first recreational marijuana stores now open
DENVER - You can now buy pot in Colorado -- legally. The first legal sale of recreational marijuana in the country took place during a live news conference in Denver on Wednesday at 8 a.m.
The first buyer was an Iraq veteran with PTSD, Sean Azzariti.
There were people lining up outside several pot shops, wanting to be among the first customers on this historic day. They have come from nearly every state and from several other countries including Japan and Australia.
Denver is among the 19 cities and 7 counties that opted to allow existing medical marijuana businesses to begin transitioning into retail marijuana businesses on Jan. 1.
Any Colorado resident 21 years or older could walk into one of 14 shops in Denver and buy an ounce of pot. Non-residents can buy a fourth of an ounce, but cannot take it across state lines.
-- Pot stores opened on Jan 1:
-- The Grove, 74 Federal Blvd.
-- The Haven, 777 Canosa Court
-- The Shelter, 4095 Jackson St.
-- Dank Colorado, 3835 Elm St.
-- LoDo Wellness, 1617 Wazee St.
-- Medicine Man Denver, 4750 Nome St.
-- Evergreen Apothecary, 1568 S. Broadway
-- Denver Kush Club, 2615 Welton St.
-- The Green Solution, 2601 W. Alameda Ave.
-- The Green Solution, 4400 Grape St.
-- The Healing House Denver, 2383 Downing St.
-- CitiMed, 1640 E. Evans Ave.
-- Kindman, 4125 Elati St.
-- 3D Cannabis Center, 4305 Brighton Blvd.
"I have first time guests coming in who are already aware of our menu and asking about certain strains that we have," said Jason Coleman, an employee at Medicine Man. "The average transaction is about five minutes."
If you plan on buying pot, here is a list of rules you'll need to know. Basically, you'll want to treat it much like alcohol. You can't smoke it in your car, can't carry it in an open container in your vehicle, can't smoke in public and you can't sell it or give it to minors.
"I'm in my mid-50s and I grew up in a time ... you got what was available on an illegal side :and it wasn't as highly developed as it is now," said Paul Curran, a customer from Colorado. "This is all very new to me."
It is still a federal offense to smoke marijuana but the U.S. Justice Department is not challenging Colorado's laws and is focusing instead on drug trafficking and keeping it away from children.
In total, there are 18 retail marijuana stores, 27 retail marijuana grow facilities and 5 retail marijuana infused product manufacturers currently operating in the City and County of Denver.
Close to 350 retail marijuana licenses have been issued in the state -- 136 stores and about 200 cultivation and product manufacturing facilities. The vast majority of all licensed facilities, a total of 270, are located within the City and County of Denver. More than a hundred of those are still pending in Denver, meaning the city is likely to have many more shops in the first few months of 2014.
"We drove 8 hours just to do this legally, finally. It's great that we can actually do this now and don't have to worry about getting in trouble," said Beth Mellow, who is from New Mexico. "We're at a hotel, so we're just going to go hangout and get high."
Colorado's over-the-counter pot sales is being watched closely across the country.
The state has implemented an aggressive first-of-its-kind tracking system to trace all retail marijuana from seed to sale, but since tracking devices didn't get to some shops by Jan. 1, the state has issued a waiver for some businesses to sell retail marijuana even without the tracking system in place.
Denver Mayor Michael B. Hancock released the this statement regarding the successful launch of retail marijuana sales in Denver:
"I am proud of Denver's responsible and balanced implementation of Amendment 64. Over the past year, our city agencies have worked hard to collaborate with our partners and listen to so many in our community to establish thoughtful regulations. We also focused on educating residents and visitors of those laws. We saw the fruits of that labor today.
"I want to thank the businesses and consumers alike for acting responsibly and with great accountability today. Denver is a progressive city, a vibrant city, and it's incumbent on all of us to continue getting this right."
For more information on the new law you can go to the state's website - http://www.colorado.gov/marijuanainfodenver/ - where they've posted useful information on what the change means.
Washington state, the only other state to allow recreational pot use by adults, plans to have stores open by late spring of 2015.
Here is a look at the line outside one Denver pot shop on opening day: https://vine.co/v/hVjDVjQaF2b/embed

It wasn't fancy, but it was plenty effective. Georgia used 10 ball carriers and pounded Tennessee on the ground to snap a three-year losing streak with a 31-21 victory Saturday night at Baylor in the annual all-star football game involving recent area graduates.
Georgia's all-stars outrushed Tennessee 265-58, led by former Ridgeland running back Paul Walton and Hiram's Trey Wesley, who each finished with 90 yards. Walton was named the game's MVP and set a Tennessee-Georgia all-star record with a 47-yard scoring run.
Wesley had the game-clinching 37-yard scoring run, converting a fourth-and-8 with 3:16 left in the game.
"We had talked all week about how our state had lost three straight to them and we were tired of hearing about it," Wesley said. "Our offensive line was great. The holes were huge and they made our job really easy to run the ball any time we wanted.
"We knew we were strong up front and had a lot of speed, and we took advantage of that."
Georgia dominated the first half, racing out to a 17-0 lead late in the second quarter, and maintained at least a 10-point lead the rest of the way. By halftime Georgia had outrushed Tennessee 155-27 to set the tone.
Georgia's first scoring drive ended with a Miguel Martinez 23-yard field goal on the first play of the second quarter. At that point, Georgia had 21 snaps to Tennessee's 3.
"We had two distinct groups that separated themselves as the week of practice went on," said Dade County coach Bradley Warren, who coached the Georgians. "Our wing-T group was called 'Thunder' and we named our spread guys 'Lightning,' and we used both of those sets equally well because of our linemen and the job they did up front."
Walton's 47-yard run and a 3-yard TD by Dade County's John Hampton gave Georgia a commanding 17-0 lead with just 2:15 remaining before halftime.
On the ensuing possession, Signal Mountain's Donnie Garner sparked Tennessee with a 14-yard run, lowering his shoulder to run over one Georgia defender, then dragging several others for the final 3 yards. Rhea County quarterback Cameron Talent then connected with Red Bank receiver Kelvin Clay on consecutive passes, the second covering 35 yards for a touchdown.
But when Georgia drove 70 yards in just six plays on its second possession of the third quarter, with Hampton scoring his second short-yardage TD of the game, the outcome was settled.
"We knew they were bigger than us up front and they just wore on us, especially in the first half," said South Pittsburg coach Vic Grider, who served as Tennessee's head coach. "The two turnovers in the first half that gave them a short field didn't help, and then their defense really stepped up and stopped us when we had a chance early in the second half to get back in it."

Redskins training camp: Healthy Kelly focuses on route-running rather than knee rehab
Wideout Malcolm Kelly (left) is trying to learn the nuances of his position, in order to fool the likes of DeAngelo Hall.
Pablo Martinez Monsivais/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Visit the Photo Place
By RICH CAMPBELL
ASHBURN--The lasting image of Malcolm Kelly's 2009 preseason debut was a reassuring one the Washington Redskins waited more than year to see. There was their 2008 second-round selection, running full speed across the middle of the field, using his height and athleticism to leap above a defender and snare a high pass for a first down.
A year after the wide receiver's rookie season was sabotaged by a lingering left knee injury that required offseason microfracture surgery, he is beginning to display the abilities the Redskins need to amplify their offensive firepower. The most recent evidence of that was his 13-yard reception from quarterback Todd Collins in the second quarter on Thursday, one of the few bright spots in a 23-0 loss at Baltimore.
"He's probably the only guy on our team that can make that play, with his height and speed," wide receivers coach Stan Hixon said. "That was a big plus, and we expect more of those things."
They need them, too.
Washington drafted Kelly (6-4, 227) 51st overall out of Oklahoma last year as part of a trio of pass catchers expected to give quarterback Jason Campbell more weapons and provide a spark to a lackluster passing attack.
None of the three, though, was productive as a rookie. Wideout Devin Thomas was the best of the bunch, but he spent all season playing catch-up from a preseason hamstring strain. Tight end Fred Davis struggled to grasp the pro game and, as a result, didn't get on the field often enough.
None, however, was a bigger disappointment than Kelly. He flashed some promise at the start of last year's training camp, but his knee injury prevented him from sustaining his development. He had arthroscopic surgery Aug. 4 and was effectively left behind.
He caught three passes in five regular-season contests and was inactive for the other 11 games.
Kelly insists that his offseason surgery helped him move on from last season, and he is backing that up on the field so far. He had three catches for 25 yards against Baltimore, and he has appeared spry in practice. Despite missing a handful of practices with a sore hamstring, his knee is not affecting him.

Food Network Star: "Deliciously Unpredictable Demos" (7/8/2012) [*SPOILERS*]
- ipsedixit Jul 8, 2012 08:39 PM
Adios Martita.
Live demos with rigged "things that could go wrong" (who else sees the irony in that?)
Justin gets heckled.
Yvan loses his voice.
Michele gets time warped.
Oranges ultimately does in Martita.
Onto next week!

re: sandylc
re: sandylc
A million times!!!
I want a chef with no POV, no story, no signature dish and absolutely no energy!
re: libgirl2
"I want a chef with no POV, no story, no signature dish and absolutely no energy!"
YES!!! And I even want them to screw up their lines and even their recipes once in a while...We want real people with genuine personalities who REALLY know their food and refuse to make repeated versions of the flavor-of-the-week trendy recipe/food. FN, are you listening?
re: sandylc
You want Julia Child! Me too.
re: chicgail
She was so much fun to watch! Things went wrong and she just laughed. Sure she had POV and some interesting stories, but her show had humor not sleek production. She didn't have to recount something "painful" from her past or let us know her "connection" to a dish, besides she ate it an liked it.
re: libgirl2
Kitschy, overproduced, overscripted crap, GO AWAY!
I was surprised Nicki was safe so quickly but I guess they had to whittle down Giada's team. I hated G's stupid cheering after Yvan's presentation.
Justin was super quick with the "heckler" but did get a little testy.
The more I see of Michele, the less I like her but I thought her contrived glitch was really unfair. The others were things that really could go wrong whereas you assume that the person working with you isn't going to be throwing up 10 million random times left for your spiel.
re: Joanie
" I hated G's stupid cheering after Yvan's presentation."
SO agree. I get positively homicidal when I see her 64-tooth grin and maniacal cheering.
It was so obviously telegraphed that someone from Giada's team would be leaving, they should be paying royalties to Western Union.
re: coney with everything
Oh YES!!
re: coney with everything
Agree! And does anyone else think that the judges must have seen something different than we did? Their comments about performances rarely make sense.
re: Joanie
Not only her cheering but her sulking when Martita lost too. The only person whose show I'd watch is Justin.....
re: wincountrygirl
I wonder if Alton, Bobby or Giada get something if one of their proteges win. Anyone know?
re: chicgail
They get producer credit on whatever show results.
re: ennuisans
I assume that there is a check that accompanies the credit.
re: Joanie
Agree with both your points. Thought that Giada's cheering was entirely inappropriate, and thought that Michelle's glitch was totally unfair. What is she supposed to do with wildly incorrect timings? That's a case where you shouldn't really try to "cover it up"; you should call out to the producer to get a new tech guy over there!
Isn't there a disconnect between the ease of speaking to the camera as "talking heads" and so many times "stumbling" in front of the camera - prime example Martita. This show is evenly and well scripted.
And yes, why do they think we are interested in their silly stories about their Grandmas, huge smiles ( shudder) etc.
re: C. Hamster
Justin's food seems mildly interesting - if allowed, he could do some interesting stuff.
re: C. Hamster
Exactly. As Bob said, you'd watch Justin to see what he does next.
re: C. Hamster
I've never been a Marty fan but liked her this week.
When did they start getting so hung up about personal stories? Why would it matter to viewers what Martitia's father did or that she gets together w/ girl friends? I don't remember their hammering in personal stories so much in the first seasons. Martita's presentation about the orange was much more about the food and what to do with it than a story about stealing tangerines. This is FOOD network, not Lifetime.
And, warning that something could/would go wrong should have made them more prepared to joke their way through. Once people started heckling, leaving, that's a good sign that it was set up--go with it.
re: chowser
The story thing started 4 or 5 years ago. If you watch the non-competition FTV shows these days all the hosts are telling stories. I think they're trying to have their hosts make a personal connection with the view and be all folksy and chatty and not be a talking head. Personally, I associate food with cooking and eating, not with story telling. The problem with the stories we get from these contestants is that they're all so contrived and disingenuous that they come off as phony and hollow. They don't believe them any more than we do. They're jumping through as many hoops as the FTV puts up there in hopes of winning a show.
Julia Child established a great personal connection with most of her audience and included chatty and witty comments, remarks and little stories, but that wasn't the focus of what she did. It was just kind of a natural by-product of Julia being Julia. Martin Yan and Jaques Pepin also told little stories too, just enough to get you interested in what they were actually cooking, novel concept cooking on a cooking show. They also had something this crop of wannabes lacks...that would be personality.
This is the worst batch of "talent" I think they've come up with so far. None of them are compelling or interesting. Alton looks old and tired, Bobby just looks exasperated and bored and Giada just looks like teeth and hair. I wish there were better choices a 9 pm on Sunday.
I hate to sound so cranky but I've about had it with this show. The game, not to mention the schtick, is old, tired and needs to be retired, not retreaded as it was this year.
re: DiningDiva
It did not help that Giada had a shampoo commercial or something running. But I am all for rising above the bashing.
I still like Justin, and still hope Alton can see what will work for ME, and still get HIM paid.
re: DiningDiva
"I wish there were better choices a 9 pm on Sunday."
There is. True Blood on HBO, for one. :-)
But with regards to this intense seeking for "stories" and "life experiences", preferably tear-jerkers; or heart-rending and sob-sob stories of how you surmounted all those incredible travails of life or being abandoned as a child etc etc (never mind stealing tangerines) that Medusa and Kermit seem to hunger for - I totally agree with you (and chowser and sandylc and RUK above) that it is really, really NOT something I have much interest in, if any at all. Get with the COOKING and teaching - but as has been said so many times now, that seems to be the least of concerns for FN and Medusa and Kermit.
re: huiray
Also Falling Skies on TNT is on at 9 but I DVR the 11PM episode. Not a science fiction gal at all but enjoy this show, maybe it's my fondness for Noah Wylie and ER.
In any case, yeah harping on the stories they're supposed to tell gets tiresome. These things would come naturally with a show, sometimes you just have to cook the food and tell them how it's done.
And why does Alton seem so pissed all the time?
re: Joanie
He's an angry guy in general. The rest of us keep failing to live up to his expectations. It's why I get a thrill out of it when I catch him in a mistake. I still treasure the moments when Mario Batali would correct Alton on Iron Chef. I was at an Alton book signing once (not on purpose, just happened upon it), and he was a crabby jerk to his audience. You know, the people who came to see him and buy his book.........
re: sandylc
I've heard over and over that Alton brown really isn't a nice guy. It's one reason that -- while I respect him and enjoy learning from him -- I would never want to meet him. Even on FNS I see flashes of his jerkitude and it snaps me out of the show.
re: huiray
I would think shows on the FOOD network should be about food. If I want life stories, there is the biography channel.
re: BubblyOne
I'd bet that even if he doesn't go all the way Justin will get a show if he wants it, and can't really say that about anyone else. And if he gets a show without winning, I'd bet that a woman would win FNS, and I'd bet that would mean Nikki. In all fairness she's pulled herself together a whole bunch in the last couple of weeks.
Sure hope all that betting is legal in my jurisdiction.
re: ennuisans
The thing about Nikki is that she's been at 1% for weeks in the FN fan vote. She'd have to do something outrageous to get any support at this point. Edited to add I just looked and Martie is in 2nd place behind Justin.
Agree about Justin. I just hope they give him a cooking show and not some other stupid FN riff.
re: BubblyOne
Martie has done herself a lot of favors over the last 2 epsiodes, so has Yvan. In some respects I think she should have won the challenge this past Sunday, I thought she did better than Yvan.
re: DiningDiva
Martie is absolutely perfect for FN. Another show I would never watch.
re: BubblyOne
Totally forgot about the viewer vote determining the winner. All bets are off. :p
If Justin gets a cooking show I hope it's as idiosyncratic as he is. Not just a show about how to make oyster foam on the half shell, but that really gets into his mental process behind breaking ingredients down and remixing them.
re: DiningDiva
ha aint that the truth!
not sure this mentoring thing has really worked, Bobby Flay seems totally disinterested.
re: smartie
Probably because he knows his group sucks.
re: smartie
Really, I think he's just a cardboard cutout. I've got all three followed on Twitter and I don't think Flay has ever ever commented about the show, as opposed to Alton and Giada. But then Flay has never struck me as a people person.
re: ipsedixit
Here's last Sunday's ratings
It's much higher than other FN items like ICA and DDD. I don't the channels that rated higher.
re: ipsedixit
ipsedixit, you enjoy the show, really? Oh wait, so do the wife and I. We dvr it and enjoy it during the week at our leisure.
re: James Cristinian
I don't see what's wrong with saying you like a Food Network Star, or any other FN show.
re: ipsedixit
Oh, but haven't you heard? It means you know NOTHING about food and care NOTHING about cooking :-)
re: jmckee
And that is wrong ... how?
re: ipsedixit
Because it's the 'lowest common denominator' or some thing like that. :) Though I've had trouble getting a clarification of that term from people who use it to describe FN programming.
re: paulj
