|When Worf finishes his comm chat with Sisko, a Federation symbol appears on the screen. Usually the symbol displayed is that of the caller, and since Worf is calling from a Klingon ship, it should be a Klingon symbol.
|Quote :
|"I tried. I tried my best to run my establishment under this occupation. But you know what? It's no fun! I don't like the Cardassians, they're mean and arrogant. And I can't stand the Jem'Hadar. They're creepy, they just stand there like statues, staring at you. That's it. I don't want to spend the rest of my life doing business with these people. I want the Federation back! I want to sell root beer again!" - Quark to Kira; bemoaning the Dominion occupation of DS9
Kira attempts to disrupt the Dominions control of Deep Space Nine; Odo is more cautious, and when the female Changeling arrives and begins to show him the delights of the Link his loyalties waver. Meanwhile, Sisko is relieved of his command and appointed as an adjutant on Starbase 375 - and his first task is to send the Defiant into Dominion territory to destroy a powerful sensor array.

Note-taking in OneNote is as easy as writing in a paper notebook, but in OneNote you can easily create space and add pages when and where you need them, move and format text anywhere on the page, search and instantly find the information you need, and tag important notes for follow-up.
In OneNote, your notes can also include any combination of typed text, pictures, and graphics — including any text and images that you capture from Web pages and other programs — as well as digital handwriting, audio and video clips, lists, and links.
Do either of the following:
Top of Page
Do any of the following:
Do the following:
In OneNote, a single page can virtually scroll forever, but it's a good idea to use pages and sections effectively to help you organize your notebooks. When you want to add a new, blank page, do the following:
Whenever you create a new page in OneNote, it is automatically stamped with the current date and time to indicate when the page was created. Depending on how you use OneNote, you can also use your computer's current date and time in your notes whenever you want to mark or track chronological events. For example, you can keep a log of phone calls received at specific times during the day by preceding the call details with the date and time of the call.
Note By default, OneNote uses the date and time format specified in the Control Panel in Microsoft Windows. To change the way dates and times are displayed in OneNote, open the Windows Control Panel and set your Region and Language settings accordingly to use the correct date and time format for your country or region. Any changes to the date and time format you make will apply only to new pages that you create in OneNote and not any pages that you have already created.
Bulleted lists are a great way to list items in random order, such as a shopping list.
Tip To automatically begin a bulleted list, type * (asterisk) at the beginning of a new line of text, and then press the Spacebar.
Numbered lists are a great way to list items in chronological order, such as step-by-step instructions.
Tip To automatically begin a numbered list, type 1. at the beginning of a new line of text, and then press the Spacebar.
OneNote automatically creates link (formerly called hyperlinks) whenever you type or paste an Internet address or World Wide Web URL into your notes. Alternately, you can also use the Insert > Link command to create a link from text in your notes.
Do one of the following:
Note To create links to other pages in your notebook, click the notebook section containing the page that you want to link to, right-click its page tab, click Copy Link to Page, and then paste the link wherever in your notes you want it to appear.
To change the Internet address an existing link in your notes points to, do the following
To delete a link without deleting the text from which it was created, do the following:
OneNote provides several tags, such as Important and To Do, that you can apply to notes. Tags let you visibly prioritize or categorize notes and they can be used to group notes by classification or importance when searching your notebooks.
To quickly find all of your tagged notes (for example, to see all items you marked with the Important tag), do the following:
Unlike other computer programs, Microsoft OneNote automatically and continuously saves your work while you work, which means there is never any need to save your notes manually.
You can freely shut down OneNote at any time and as soon as you're done taking notes. When you next start OneNote, it will automatically open the last page you were looking at and your latest changes will be recalled.

The NCAA tourney is already awesome enough. But doggone it, this is America, and we always are looking to improve upon what we got. So how about we make the tournament more meaningful by going a little deeper and adding some context to this sacrosanct event?
Let's look at the history it's nestled in and point out some of the most interesting facts about the NCAA Men's College Basketball Tournament.
Some perspective will make watching the games more fun. Plus, you can look smart when you say, "You know, Duke's run has been impressive, but it doesn't hold a candle to the streak Houston had in the early '80s, going to three straight final fours."
Sure, some folks will think you have too much time on your hands, but others will worship your godlike sports knowledge. So read on to fulfill your dreams of being worshipped by your fellow fans ...
No. 5: The basics
Yeah, we know all the big names, but historically how have they fared? Let's rank 'em.
First let's start with the five schools with the most tournament championships: No. 1 is UCLA, with 11 titles, winning 10 of them in a 12-season span from 1964 to 1975. Kentucky falls in at No. 2 with seven titles. Then it's Indiana and North Carolina with five each, and lastly, Duke with four. (By the way, Oregon won the first title in 1939, its only one.)
How about another parameter? Final Four appearances: a similar, but different list. This time North Carolina ties UCLA with for the top spot with 18 visits. Third place is Duke with 15. Kentucky ranks fourth with 14 appearances, with Kansas fifth with its 13 trips.
Here's a cool bonus fact: The largest margin of victory in a championship game is 30 points. In 1990, UNLV spanked Duke 103-73. (You can almost hear all the Duke haters out there shouting "Yeah!")
No. 4: High scorer
Here's an oldie but goodie. (And shame on you for not knowing this basic March Madness trivia.) The most points scored in a tournament game goes to ... No, not Michael Jordan, Lew Alcindor, Bill Walton or Magic Johnson, but Austin Carr.
Do you know who he played for? No? Well two-times shame on you then. He played for Notre Dame. And do you now how many? Aw, forget it, let's just get on with this.
He scored a whopping 61 points in an opening round game against Ohio University in 1970. And though you may have expected some crazy Wilt-type number, let's just keep this in perspective: imagine if a player did this today. It would be insane and you can bet he would own the Twitterverse for a little while.
And this wasn't exactly a fluke. Mr. Carr was a stud in the postseason, serving up a record that may stand for good: a 50-point scoring average in seven NCAA tournament games.
No. 3: Sweetless 16
Even casual fans know that the lowest seed in any region (the 16th seed) has never won a game since the tournament expanded in 1985. To do that, they'd have to beat their first opponent (duh), and that would be the No. 1 seed.
But it did almost happened once. Michigan State was the Goliath and David took him to overtime before losing by a pittance. Who was David? Why Murray State, and the year was 1990 -- you know, back when the shorts were still short and the hair was buzz-cut, Theo Huxtable-like.
When the dust cleared, Michigan State won 75-71 (but did lose two games later, in overtime, to Georgia Tech).
And since we're on the topic, how about a list of the No. 15 seeds who knocked off their No. 2 seed suckers: Richmond in 1991, Santa Clara in 1993, Coppin State in 1997, Hampton in 2001 and Lehigh (over Duke) and Norfolk State (over Missouri) this year.
No. 2: Some real controversy
We're not talking about a bad call here. The tournament brings together practically every faction of the U.S. community, and this is bound to cause some head-butting. So though we keep the rest of this article fun and light, one fact about a more serious topic is appropriate.

Item# 2515715
Great Fit Fits true to size, the fabric seems to be of great quality, and it's very comfortable. November 6, 2013
Love this Blazer This blazer goes with EVERYTHING. I wear it with slacks, jeans, skirts...you name it. I dress it up, wear it casual...I purchased in the store for 50% off, wish I had looked online first! Great buy! October 8, 2013
Classic and chic This blazer looks great and the material is a nice quality. I'm 5'6, 138 lbs and a size 4 was perfect for me. September 18, 2013
Sharp 2-Button Blazer I love this blazer I bought two weeks ago because its so perfect fit and very soft. I can wear it with jeans or I can wear it with a skirt at the office. I highly recommended! September 13, 2013
Good Jacket This is a good jacket. It fit me very well, except for the sleeve length, but I always have to take those in no matter where I buy it. I wish the quality of the fabric was of a bit better, but overall it is not a bad jacket especially if you can get it on sale. September 4, 2013
Love it! I get so many compliments on this when I wear it! It's very professional and classic. It's surprisingly comfortable and it fits me great. The picture does not do it justice. The only criticism that I have is that I had a hard time with the website in figuring out which Navy pants would match exactly. I ended up taking a chance and the pair that I got look amazing with it. I work at a bank, and this is very work / Interview friendly. Looks great with a white shirt. August 30, 2013
classic for work I bought this blazer awhile ago and it is a serious workhorse for my office wardrobe. I wore it with matching pants for an interview and I've also got the matching skirt which looks great. On casual Fridays it also works great to dress up jeans and an Oxford button-up or even a chic top. It's a classic silhouette with solid construction. August 25, 2013
Great Classic Item I bought this blazer for my medical residency interviews and it looks great. It is very classy, the material is light and it gives you shape, you don't look like a box. I also got the matching pants and skirt for my interview outfit. August 5, 2013

Sunday, August 5, 2012, 11:30 PMKnowing that many of you A.D.D. folks only have the attention span to read the first paragraph and the setlist, I want to be sure to give you the real meat and potatoes first, and so for you, here it is:

In spite of wretched heat and humidity, torrential rains and high winds that wreaked havoc with some of the technical equipment, Twisted Sister last night did what very few bands anywhere are capable of doing: played 90 incredible minutes of high energy, pure adrenalin heavy metal. Kudos to the thousands of fans who endured miserable conditions--they were rewarded with top notch performances by four bands. Our boys in black and pink proved that they are not only the Kings of Metal in Europe--but they can still dominate in the good ol'
U. S. of A as well.
Alrighty, then. That said....it's time to get down to business.
Here now....for your reading enjoyment....the blog you love to hate and hate to admit that you love....the rock blog with more hype than the iPhone5 (oh, just you wait)....the only concert review that gives you so much information you'll be able to convince your friends you went....keeping you in the loop, giving the inside scoop with all the poop...the blog that makes the other bands jealous because THEY don't have some insane leprechaun that travels around the world them...here with all the concert details you're dying to know...and plenty ya don't...
yes, my babies, it's The Official Armadillo Road Report for the Clearfield County Fair, Pennsylvania, August 4, 2012. The last road report of the summer!
The drive from Baltimore was about five hours due to construction but the scenery of the Pennsylvania countryside was simply lovely. I enjoyed whizzing past the lush rolling hills, dotted with red farmhouses and the occasional fragrance a la livestock. Although I've spent the majority of my life living in various major cities, the country is always a place that relaxes me. Well...sort of. I took a quick fuel & restroom break at a Tom's Gas Stop, and I swear to you--I stepped out of my truck and heard...banjos playing. Wanna make a city boy's cornhole pucker up fast? Play banjos. Fastest pitstop I've ever made....I left skidmarks in the parking lot before they could say, "Y'all come back, now, y'hear?"
By the time I rolled into town, the road crew had already loaded into the fair and was beginning the sound check. Extra special shout out to Rob Star from Adrenalin Mob--Rob is also a part of the Twisted road crew and I somehow forgot to mention him on the Europe reports--but that should not diminish the huge contributions he makes to the band. Love ya, brother!
Speaking of the crew, they were decked out in snazzy new vintage-looking official Twisted road crew shirts courtesy of Sweden lighting engineer Johnny. Very sharp! I was able to catch the drum check, exchange a few bro hugs and pleasantries and headed back to the hotel to do my pre-concert rituals to get ready for the show. There were numerous Twisted sightings about town--Clearfield is not a very large place, but they do like their guns & ammo shops! I counted at least four driving into town...along with churches and fireworks stands. Hmmmm....Clearfield...a place to pray....and blow things up. That's strangely works. Regretfully, I didn't get to stop at the BBQ place just outside of town but I think the fair gave me a pretty interesting slice of life in rural Pennsylvania.
I would not be performing my Road Report duties if I did not give you an accurate description of the grounds--the Clearfield County Fair is the oldest running fair in the United States--152 years to be exact. Dry (alcohol free) for the first 151 years...then along comes Twisted Sister! The fair itself was in a large paved lot and provided many of the things you'd expect at a County Fair: carnival rides, ferris wheel, carneys barking at passer-bys trying to entice them to play various games to win giant stuffed bears and big inflatable hammers. (Don't ask me why, but every fair I've been to, you can win these giant inflatable hammers. Obviously, someone doesn't believe in form follows function) And what County fair wouldn't be without the critters--we had pigs, cows, miniature horses, goats...and here's a new one: Camel rides!
I was particularly drawn to the U.S. Army's displayed armored vehicle, where I overheard the phrase, "will you please let the other children have a turn working the anti-aircraft missile controls?" Only to observe there was a 50-something guy at the wheel. And, no, for the record, it wasn't Animal. Although I didn't get a chance to see the Zerbini Family Circus perform, I did manage to catch a glimpse of Buffo: The World's Strongest Clown. He's a clown. With biceps. In a sleeveless shirt. The kids looked terrified and started screaming. Then I heard banjos...and got the fuck out of there. I'm with you, kids. Clowns and banjos. Nightmares for days ahead. Thanks Buffo. oh, you think I'm kidding? This one's for you, Sick Mutha's. www.buffo.com
Alright, alright. I digress.
The concert (yes, there was a concert last night) was held at the racetrack. Through a gated entrance, there was a moderately large, covered grandstand of aluminum bleachers that I'm guessing could hold a couple thousand people, along with a section of uncovered seating below. From there, there was about 30 feet or so of dirt & gravel racetrack, and then on the grassy infield, a small but thankfully sturdy scaffold stage was erected. Behind it, a large parking lot and complex of trailers and portables for band and crew accommodations.
I went on a quest for food--it was late afternoon and I hadn't eaten all day--the fair offered what you'd expect: fried dough, fried pickles, french fries, fried hot dogs on a stick, fried twinkies...and my personal favorite: A fried stick of butter. If I ever decide it's time to check out of this world, that's how I'm going to go. Fried butter. Dayum! I settled for a vegetable crepe (not terrible) but before I could chow it down, the heavens let loose.
I'm convinced that Twisted Sister must put something in the band rider: "Must have severe weather including but not limited to: heavy downpours, high winds, hail, lighting, thunder with the option for tornadoes and flash flooding." It was UGLINESS out there for a good 20 minutes. Fast and furious, the storm came with minimal warning and while most of the crew wisely sought shelter away from the scaffolding, our faithful Twisted sound engineer, George, sheltered-in-place, protecting the sound board under a giant blue tarp and lots and lots of bungee cords.
Severe weather brings severe headaches, and I'm not going to dwell on any of it but as so many outdoor rural concerts (Wichita comes to mind!) the weather did a number on some of technical equipment and made for a challenging show for our crew and band. I'll say it right now--loud and clear--so many other bands out there would have just said, "Screw this! We'll play a short set, get our paycheck and get the hell outta here!" But not our bad boys of rock and roll. Twisted just soldiered on--they managed to overcome every single obstacle thrown their way (and there were many) and still put on a fantastic show. And if you don't believe me, ask the other slamboarders who were there--they'll vouch for me. More on that later.
Once the rain cleared and the crew began pushing vast amounts of water off the stage, I ventured out onto the track which was now a soft, muddy swathe covered in gravel. It was like standing in a kitty litter box. The soggy fans began pouring into the front stage area and it was obvious that many of them were just plain soaked to the core. Gotta love TS fans--true grit!
The opening act was not on the original bill--Curbside Hustle, from NYC. I kept thinking to myself....where have I heard of them before? I scribbled down that they were "perfect hot weather music" (the mugginess and humidity about now was murderous!) Curbside Hustle had a young, beautiful and quite talented lead female vocalist who sang duet with their other lead-- a bit Joe Cocker-esque sounding--together they had a nice, bluesy feel with good, strong hard rocking roots. They were just how I like an opening act--tightly played, strong stage presence without seeming artificial, well-rehearsed and no frills--and just good music. It wasn't until I saw the lovely lead singer back at the sound board wearing original TS colors that I remembered where I had heard of Curbside Hustle before-- this was Eddie Ojeda's daughter, Michelle! Obviously, the talent gene has been passed down to her, and I'm certain she has a long, solid career in music ahead of her. An added treat to see Curbside Hustle--check them out at www.curbsidehustle.com where you can download some of their music.
As the band changeover quickly occurred, the whirring of farm equipment being test-driven drowned out the moo-ing of cows. And occasionally...the screaming of small children. I'm not sure if that was from the carnival rides....or Buffo....
Next up we were once again treated to the vocal talents of Jaclyn Quatela. This is my third or fourth time now hearing this set, and I was quite pleased to see the crowd giving Jaclyn and her band some well deserved love--with all of the cookie-monster metal opener bands out there, it's really nice when a crowd appreciates good vocals. Women rockers have it tough! When you have an audience that has never seen the act before but they sing along--that's a really good sign! The crowd definitely enjoyed the Foo Fighters cover "Best of You" and I've decided that the original song "This is Me Without You" should become a post-divorce theme song. A few lucky fans got some free swag tossed their way, and we were now two for two: two opening acts that demonstrated that girls rock just as hard as the boys!
Right on schedule at 8:00 P.M. was Great White. I've seen Great White at a number of festivals before--last night was one of the best performances I've seen them bring! They drew a really nice crowd and delivered all of the familiar hits that folks were waiting to hear: "House of Broken Love" played soulful and bluesy along with a really tight "Save Your Love." The band looked really relaxed on stage--clearly having a good time which is so nice to see! I absolutely hate it when big name bands "phone it in"--I'm not going to name which bands, but I've seen it happen with top-bill draws--so to see a band as successful as Great White playing hard, sounding well and enjoying themselves with some onstage and audience chemistry--it's a good thing!
Great White played a new single, "I've Got Something For You" along with the heavier crowd pleaser "Rock Me." There was a bit of silliness in which band members starting capturing video of the crowd from the stage...then of each other...then of each other capturing video of...each other... but hey, it's a County Fair. Silliness encouraged. They closed with "Once Bitten, Twice Shy" to a very soggy but appreciative crowd who had now filled up most of the litter box, er...race track...uhh, I mean, General Admission area and the grandstands were also rapidly filling up in spite of the weather. Great White...Great job!
The Twisted Colors were then raised behind the drum riser--maybe I'm watching too much Olympic coverage, but it reminded me of Old Glory being raised during the Gold Medal ceremonies. Instead of the national anthem, I think we need to petition for some Twisted "banner" raising music. I'll salute.
At 9:35 PM, the signal was given and off we go...the LAST Twisted Sister show of the Summer Tour 2012! I always get an intense surge of adrenalin when I hear the opening chords of "Long Way to the Top" and my heart was beating a mile a minute when Twisted's own Mr. Gerber introduced the boys onstage .... "..from New York City...." [I'm waiting for "let's get ready to rrrrrrrrumble!"]
You've seen the setlist (posted last night), "What You Don't Know" is the standard opener and it really is a dramatic way for the band to enter! Eddie delivered an excellent solo--I just love that moment in WYDK when all three guitarists are lined up and just pumping away, their arms furiously working in unison, Animal just pounding away. If I may use a carnival metaphor here...AND I MAY...BECAUSE....WE'RE AT A FRICKIN' CARNIVAL......the opening bars of WYDK are like the first few seconds of the roller coaster when it's climbing to the top of the incline...then HIT IT! and you're accelerating down the first hill and by the peak of the coaster, you've built up so much speed and momentum that your stomach is in your throat, your heart is going a hundred miles and hour and when the ride comes to a stop, you realize that you're sweating vigorously, breathing hard and think you're going have a heart attack! You turn to the guy next to you and say, "HOLY SHIT! that was AWESOME! Let's do it again!"
And again we went... "The Kids Are BacK" is an old school fave. I was a bit disappointed in the crowd response where I was--I'm trying to be a little forgiving because for almost everyone I met there, it was their first time seeing Twisted and knew only a few songs. A few exceptions to the rule however--a big Road Report shout out to all of the Slamboarders in attendance who I could always spot because they're the ones going nuts with their fists in the air and screaming out the lyrics! Shout out to Josh from Pittsburgh and his rockin' Mom (and a happy 17th birthday to him as well! Go Mom--job well done!), Corey from Canada, John & his family (sorry I missed you but I know you were there rockin'...and literally just texted me as I was typing his name...oooh...spooky!), SMF Cyndi, Brian (MetalNY) and our very own Heavy Metal royalty, Da' Mayor, Donna from CT. (hopefully I haven't missed anyone this time!)
Dee worked the crowd magic as he always does--thanking everyone for coming, because "if [they] paid attention to the weather channel..and only losers do..." [Uhhh, Dee? Some of us weather geeks rock...just sayin'... ] He quoted the forecast: "Heavy rain...thunder...high winds...hail..." But gave props to all of the fans who braved the rain and weather and didn't mind getting a little bit wet (okay, well...a lot wet) to see Twisted Sister!
There were so many Dee-isms that you'll just have to youtube the damn show to get them all, because it was dark and humid, and there's just so much I can capture in shorthand--but Dee acknowledged, "the largest handicapped section!" Also known as the "grandstand." I don't know--maybe they ate too much fried dough and were physically weighed down--but I saw WAY too many butts in the seats. I honestly think Twisted should put in the next rider: "Must remove all ability for people to ass plant!"
I left the first few rows of the crowd to get a better sound experience so I went back to the Sound Board--I was pleased to see that there was a really decent turnout in both the grandstand and the general admission--albeit a sitting one--and Dee informed the crowd that he is, in fact, an ordained minister: "I am...I did it online....just had to sign my name after I took the course..." and announced that he would be performing some miracles on the handicapped section!
Dee: "STAND UP! STAND UP! HALLELUYAH!"
I heard laughter behind me...but still butts in the seats. Hmmmmm....not to take away from Dee's ministry, but I think we needed some serious faith healing in that stand. And it came in the form of "Wake Up The Sleeping Giant". I know that I've been a vocal critic of the "Love Is For Suckers" album, but this is my favorite track and it is one of the most earth-thumping, gravel-stirring, boot-stomping tracks ever.
Another unexpected treat--one of the songs that often gets a last minute switcheroo off the setlist was "I Believe in Rock N' Roll" off of "Come Out and Play." Although not their best cut off that album, it plays SO much better live than it does on vinyl. It's a very patriotic, almost god-loving song, and it got a really interested response from the crowd when Dee sang the lines "I pledge allegiance, to the Unites States of Rock" and "Even God loves rock and roll..." Perfect Twisted track for the Clearfield County Fair.
Afterwards, Dee surveyed his work thus far....and as our official ordained minister (he says he's done at least two ceremonies) he welcomed us all to the "Church of Rock...the Church of Twisted Sister!" prompting some of the better Dee-isms of the night: "I don't know what church you belong to, but if that's how you respond in church...your church must suck! In our church we SCREAM!" And that got the crowd going a lot louder, and I saw a few more fans standing on the pews....er...grandstand bleachers...whatever.
They launched into "You Can't Stop Rock N' Roll" with Eddie getting the crowd fired up during the opening riff. Finally I saw the type of crowd that we've come to expect at a Twisted Sister show--there were a lot of fists flying (for the record...fists thrown in the air...not at each other) and in spite of a few more technical challenges, the band remained ever professional and it was full steam ahead!
Jay Jay announced what many of us knew--this was the last show of the summer tour--and that 2012 was the "best year of our lives!" I couldn't agree more--the European summer shows were some of the most incredible Twisted Sister moments I've ever had. (and hell, for that matter, best moments of my life too!) He gave the crowd a quick history of the Twisted Sister reunion tour--the 9/11 Widows' benefit, the USO Korea show for the troops and the tour that has thrilled and fulfilled so many of us. He thanked the troops, and reminded everyone that our armed forces "put their asses on the line" protecting our freedoms, and encouraged all in attendance to exercise that right to vote (regardless of party lines!) Here, here.
Our own Mr. French delivered one of his now famous "American Idol" rants--reminding folks that while they may text in a vote to support their "Idol" for their 15-weeks of "struggling" to the top, he gave props by name to many of the bands who have been sticking together and rocking hard for more than 35 years...earning an appreciative roar from those in attendance. And with that, he announced, "this is why we do what we do...." and launched into a very hot version of "The Fire Still Burns." Absolutely fantastic guitarwork--heavy and pounding!
"Shoot 'em Down" is one of those songs that you absolutely must see live in order to fully capture the essence of the man...the beast...the Animal....Mark Mendoza! I know that every single report I write accolades upon accolades about what Mark does to his bass, but until you are right there (especially up front) and feeling the intense wave of sound that moves your shirt, rattles your teeth and affects your insides (don't say I didn't warn you!), you can't imagine how powerful his bass is. If you are lucky enough (or in some cases, unlucky enough) to be really close, you can actually hear the impact on the bass strings. It's just incredible, and if nothing else, you've got to find a way to see them live to really appreciate what this man does with his instrument. 'Nuff said!
"We're Not Gonna Take It" is always a crowd pleaser, and I finally saw plenty of signs of life when A.J. gave us some opening cowbell. Eddie delivered another great solo--and a nice moment of guitar synchonicity between him and Jay Jay--A.J. gave us some flourish to close out the song, and it almost had everyone on their feet. Well...almost. Damn that "handicapped section." [FYI--there were a number of folks there in wheelchairs--they were all upfront and I could see them rockin' out hard! Dee gave them due props as well]
Dee mentioned how Twisted has traveled the world--and many of these huge European festivals were so caught up in the fury of WNGTI that they couldn't...and wouldn't...stop singing the "chorii" [Dee-ism for plural of choruses] In appreciation, Twisted played the refrain twice. But he announced, "We're disappointed! This is U.S. of A! Pennsylvania...where America began..." and the response they got to WNGTI?!!! In Dee's words... "meh."
He chastised the crowd--"Stand UP for America! STAND UP for Twisted Sister!" and finally....Dee does what he does so remarkably well--he won over an entire crowd of hot, tired, wet, post-consumed fried-dough fair goers and the entire place was on their feet and cheering!
In another comical moment, Dee shared with us that he was originally told it was okay to curse, even though it was a family fair. So Dee does what he does...and before long, concert promoters were frantically running to management asking him to stop cursing! In his words, he is a "professional curser..having been arrested for it!" Dee gave an apology to the parents--and addressing the many youngsters in the audience, "it's not like you haven't heard it before! Your parents say it all the time..." and although the band probably never heard it, there was a ten-year old standing on the bleachers behind me shouting his approval and agreement! Hilarious.
Some hardcore S.M.F.'s in the front were screaming for "The Price," and Dee took a moment to ask a couple in the front, "Someone out there is requesting 'The Price'....was it you? Well, this is for you...and your girlfriend...because she has a great rack..." Hey, a dedication is a dedication. It must have been one inspiring set of ta-tas because I'm gonna tell ya, Dee sounded INCREDIBLE on the opening lines of "The Price." He belted it out--gave me goosebumps, especially when the sunrise of butane lighters came up. Very nice, Clearfield!
"Burn In Hell" treated us all to the now standard red-lit spooky-voice Dee, who sounded extra scary tonight. (Gave Buffo a run for his money! Sleep tight, kids!) Props to Marty on the lighting board---cuz, yep--I DID notice that little extra sumpin' sumpin' you gave with the side lighting during the refrain. And FINALLY--a drum solo! I really missed A.J.'s drum solo the last few times when it was cut from the set. Maybe he had some pent up energy too, because it was mind-blowing! He beat those drums so hard there were parts flying off the set (it's true. I think a cymbal almost took out his son!) I love seeing the reaction on the faces of first-time Twisted concert goers when they see and hear A.J.'s solo--Fantastic!
Dee segued into "I Wanna Rock..." with a quirky hushed moment of...
"Hmmm....let's see..what was it I wanted to ? I wanna eat....wanna sleep...wanna have sex... oh wait...I know what it was I wanna do....."
we all know what that is... "I Wanna Rock!" Whether you're an old schooler or just you know two songs, "I Wanna Rock" is always delivered with a tremendous burst of energy--honestly--it's explosive! (without the C4) Dee suddenly asked for the lights to be turned on...and had to just take a moment to pause.
and admonish.
yep. that "handicapped section" again.
Dee: "Okay, Class....You're really harshing my mellow..." [I didn't think Dee HAD a mellow...]
He acknowledged the folks at the top of the bleachers who were rocking hard--"I see you in the back....you're too good for them up there! You belong down here!" He even gave a "Shame on you!" to those fans still sitting. And finally.... maybe that's what it took...every fan rose to their feet. "I Wanna Rock!" ended the set with thousands of screaming, jumping fist-throwing fans, just as it should be.
I truly don't understand why people attend a show like Twisted Sister, and think they can sit down...or worse sneak off to the parking lot for a fast getaway before they deliver the encores! Dee called them out--especially a couple who made a bee-line for the exit, with Dee shouting after them, "Going home to masturbate?...Cuz' I can tell she ain't doing it for ya.... just sayin'...." I'd like to point out, that a good number of folks headed for the exit spun on their heels and stuck around for the encores. I did hear a couple to my left exclaim, "Quick....let's get to the car...but don't let him see us..."
Twisted Sister golden rules: Always stand up. Don't be a douche. Don't leave before the show is over.
For the encores, another excellent rendition of "Come Out and Play." I always like the little pause between "Don't be afraid....of...the...." Dee does the quarterback head swivel to make sure everyone is at their mic...prompting a little "hello boys!" from Dee... followed by his primal scream into the song! Great solo by Jay Jay on COAP--another song that you really must hear live to fully appreciate how fast it is! One fan held up the COAP album cover--which Dee acknowledged while singing the refrain.
One S.M.F. was holding up an "I Am, I'm Me" sign throughout the show, and even though I knew it wasn't on the setlist, even I was secretly wishing....so Dee pointed out the sign, and said, "Well, I've never done this before, but here..." and he sang just the opening line of "I Am, I'm Me" and said, "that's just for you." Bonus!
Dee asked the crowd, "Do you want some more!?!" [of course, we do! But remember the other Twisted Golden Rule...when Dee asks if you want something, always say yes!]
Dee: "You hestitated....some of you hesitated.... so this last song...is not for you!"
He gave us some of the funniest raps of the night (definitely worth staying for!) Dee acknowleged all five original members on stage as A.J. counted them off for good measure--yep...there's five! As Dee oftened reminds audiences, there are plenty of 80's bands on reunion tours these days, but very few of them have all of their original lineup.
Per Dee, "When you're dead, you have a good excuse not to attend the reunion...." Other bands whine to him about how hard it is to get THEIR bands together...they're busy...they fight... This is TWISTED SISTER, though! There are NO excuses.
Mark "Animal" Mendoza actually brought a gun to the first reunion rehearsal. (true story!) Dee then tells us (whispering) "I bought a gun too....but shhhh....don't tell him...." But all is good now, per Dee "We shoot together...we ride together...we ride and shoot together..." Prompting a high-five between Mark and Dee--for many of us who read and watched the stories of the bad blood that happened many years ago, to see the comaraderie onstage is just fantastic.
The gun comment seemed to be a popular one with this fair going crowd---Dee observed what I had noted earlier--Clearfield has a lot of places to buy guns...and trucks...including a local truckstop, where he saw "lots of magazines about guns and trucks...but no GQ...not that I needed one..."
After introducing the Sound of Thunder, A.J. Pero...he intro'd the "man with the gun collection" Mark "Animal" Mendoza....and then gave props to Eddie's daughter, Michelle--and to Eddie, who was about to celebrate a birthday in less than 2 hours, so the entire audience sang "Happy Birthday" to Eddie! You know, Rock N' Roll and Father Time aren't kind to many in the business, but damn these guys have aged well! Jay Jay (who we know, just turned 60) and Eddie look so remarkably young. We should all be so lucky.
Jay Jay, introduced to us as "Revolution on Guitar", gave the introduction to the man, who he admitted, has had many things said about him (and most from Jay Jay's own lips) as Dee danced behind him, giving him the double bird....."The man who writes the soundcheck of our lives....Lady Gaga's illegitimate dad...Dee Fuckin' Snider!"
And with that, Dee closed out the show with the song that has made the band a "lethal fucking weapon...S.M.F.!"
My undying love and respect to all of the Twisted Sister road crew--the hardest working men in rock and roll--you know I love you guys! Marty, George, Duane, Rikk, Junior, Rob (and extra props to Rob, once more, along with Mike, who had to tell me his name about fifteen times) and anyone I've accidentally forgotten! A shout out and a wave to the lovely first ladies of rock--the wives, girlfriends and daughters of the band and road crew who came out to the show this time around.
And of course, my undying gratitude to Danny and Joe, who allow me the opportunity to live the dream, time and time again, and to all of the boys in the band. There just aren't enough words to express my appreciation.
A special shout out to Andy May, the young drummer from a local band called "Speedtrap" with umlauts over the "a"....It's really heartwarming to see young people who have a strong passion for 80's heavy metal, and are willing to keep the torch alive. Check them out at their facebook page, and give 'em a "like" to show them you support young folks playing the songs us old folks love! www.facebook.com/speedtraprocks
Wishing safe travels to all of the S.M.F.s on their journeys home--my road trip back was a bit dicey with stormy weather, and for the second time, I lost power while typing the road report once home!
An so, let's take a moment to review our evening, shall we?
It rained....it poured...from the front row to the fried dough, it rocked. Twisted Sister delivered the goods once more, playing to an appreciative throng of thousands at the 152nd Clearfield County Fair. Whether you came to hear old school Twisted at their best, or the radio hits that made them famous, no one left disappointed. Twisted Sister is not simply an 80's band reunited--Twisted Sister is a rock and roll experience that leaves everyone hungry for more! But sadly, it's the end of the summer road--Clearfield, PA, thanks for closing out the summer with boys in black and pink!
I hope you've all enjoyed the 2012 tour reports--it's my honor to deliver them to you, and I hope that I could bring a little bit of the concert to your corner of the world, so that if you couldn't make the show, you felt like you were right there with me.
This is Armadillo, your faith road reporter, signing off for the summer.
Until the next tour, my babies!

By ZINIE CHEN SAMPSON
Associated Press
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) - The University of Virginia's governing board reinstated its popular president Tuesday only weeks after ousting her in a secretive move that infuriated students and faculty, had the governor threatening to fire the entire board and sparked debate about how to best run public universities in a tight budget climate.
The 15-member Board of Visitors voted unanimously to give Teresa Sullivan her job back during a brief meeting at the university's historic Rotunda. Afterward, Sullivan thanked the board for its renewed confidence in her leadership of the prestigious public university founded by Thomas Jefferson.
Sullivan's ouster and reinstatement highlighted a dispute over how one of the finest universities in the U.S. _ public or private _ should move forward like others nationwide in addressing myriad challenges ranging from coping with shrinking government funding to elevating an academic presence online.
Sullivan had signaled to the board days after her ouster that she advocated "incremental" change _ not the bold, swift steps advocated by others such as Rector Helen Dragas, the driving force behind efforts to replace her. But Sullivan pledged Tuesday to work with the board "in bringing about what's best for the university."
The newly reinstated president greeted hundreds of faculty, students and other supporters after the board vote as they regaled her with applause and the university's anthem, "The Good Ole' Song."
"You have shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am not alone," said Sullivan, who became U.Va.'s eighth president and its first female leader when she took office in August 2010. "I believe that together we'll do great things for the university."
The American Council of Trustees and Alumni, a nonprofit group that presses for higher-education accountability and had backed Sullivan's ouster, said it plans to scrutinize Sullivan's job performance and expects the board would follow suit.
"More of the same is simply not good enough," council president Anne Neal said in a statement. "Going forward, President Teresa Sullivan must ask the tough questions and make the tough decisions" that come with her job.
Neal said the board now must set clear performance measures and hold Sullivan accountable for cutting administrative bloat, eliminating outdated programs, limiting tuition growth to the rate of inflation and ensuring students have a solid curriculum that equips them with the skills to succeed once they graduate.
Critics had compared how the board's executive committee handled Sullivan's abrupt firing _ with no formal vote, it was announced June 10 that she would step down Aug. 15 _ to a coup d'etat, and said it violated Jefferson's stated principles of honesty, respect and honor. The university is fiercely proud of its intellectual traditions and likes to call itself "Mr. Jefferson's university."
The ouster triggered days of online protests, large protests on the campus's historic grounds, and calls by deans, faculty, students and alumni for Sullivan's return.
Dragas has said the university faces several issues ahead: challenges from reduced federal and state funding, a rapidly shifting health care environment that she said will necessitate changes at the U.Va. Medical Center; heightened pressure to better allocate scarce resources; changing technology and more.
U.Va. expects to get about 10 percent of its operating budget from the state of Virginia this fiscal year. Public funding per in-state student has fallen to an estimated $8,310 in 2012-13, down from $15,274 per in-state student in 2000-01, according to the university.
On Tuesday, Sullivan called on the university community to help address the challenges to higher education and pledged to work with the board, administration and faculty to come up with strategic plans "to ensure the university's future." She also asked donors to "please stay with us" and continue to invest in U.Va. and create a legacy for the future.
Kelly Geary Davis, a 1997 graduate and entrepreneur who lives in Austin, Texas, said that it was evident Sullivan had been addressing the challenges the university faces even before her ouster.
Sullivan, 62, is an eminent scholar of labor-force demography who came to Charlottesville highly regarded. Previously, she served as provost and executive vice president for academic affairs at the University of Michigan, another top public university.
Davis said she attended her 15th reunion in Charlottesville the first weekend in June when Sullivan spoke. Sullivan discussed with alumni "all the things that were brought up" by Dragas in her statement, including U.Va.'s health care facilities, financial pressures and the need for fundraising, and AccessUVA, the need-based financial-aid program.

For our family, Christmas was merry. What kind of Christmas and holiday celebrations were going on in Newtown, Ct., I dared to wonder. Was spiritual belief obliterated for some, and for others, somehow strengthened? My own fear and grief does not allow my mind to query such thoughts for long.
Aghast, we Americans trod the swamps of boot sucking, slimy, slippery shock, disbelief, horror, grief and perhaps shame again. As Coloradoans this swamp remains familiar, and the stench has not changed from one incident to another.
Yet, for Christmas, my grandchildren were given some sort of violent video game that entertained them for hours. After each round, they came over and solidly socked the grandma they adore, on the arm. I mentioned why I did not like any of the above, and they understood I was against violence. That seemed odd to them.
I watched their little selves being inculcated with a numbness for violence while creating a passion. Now I wonder, again, when will our minds wake up to the fact that we "grow" violence in our children. Along with many other social factors, slaughters of the innocent continue in a culture that sells violence to the young.
The wake-up calls are grueling for all of us. Let's get on with it.

Acer palmatum 'Bloodgood'
Japanese Maple (Palmatum Group)
Deciduous, Trees
Maples are a varied group. They may be large and midsize shade trees; smaller trees; and dainty, picturesque shrub-trees. Leaves range from simple ovals to deeply lobed and finely dissected shapes. One element common to all maples is the fruit (seed capsule), which resembles a hardware store wingnut.
Many maples have beautiful fall color. Look for one that colors well in your locale; visit nurseries while the foliage is changing hue.
The larger maples have extensive fibrous root systems that take water and nutrients from the topsoil. The great canopy of leaves calls for a steady, constant supply of water, not necessarily frequent watering but constantly available water throughout the root zone. Occasional deep watering and periodic feeding will help keep roots deep.
Medium to large maple species need little pruning. On smaller types, prune to accentuate the natural shape. To minimize sap bleed, make any cuts in summer or early fall in mild-winter areas, from summer to the end of January where temperatures remain below freezing.
Native to Japan and Korea. Slow growing to 20 ft. with equal or greater spread. Normally many-stemmed. Most airy and delicate of all maples. Leaves 2–4 in. long, deeply cut into five to nine toothed lobes. All-year interest: young spring growth is glowing red; summer leaves are soft green; fall foliage is scarlet, orange, or yellow; slender leafless branches in greens and reds provide winter pattern.
Grafted garden varieties are popular, but common seedlings have uncommon grace and usefulness: they are more rugged, faster growing, more drought tolerant, and they stand more sun and wind than named forms do. Japanese maples thrive everywhere in the Northwest, where they make good small street trees. They can be grown with success in California if given shelter from hot, dry, or constant winds. Filtered shade is best, but full sun can be satisfactory. In California, consider the local soil and water; wherever azaleas are difficult to grow and suffer from salt buildup in the soil, Japanese maples will show burn on leaf edges. Resistant to oak root fungus.
Used effectively on north and east walls, in patios and entryways, as small lawn trees. Attractive in groves (like birches) as woodland planting; for natural effect, set out plants of different sizes with varying spacing. Good under oaks, as background for ferns and azaleas, alongside pools. Invaluable in tubs and for bonsai. Japanese maple is inclined to grow in flat, horizontal planes, so pruning to accentuate this growth habit is easy.
The grafted garden forms are usually smaller than seedlings, more weeping and spreading, brighter in foliage color, and more finely cut in leaf.
Vigorous, upright growth to 15 ft. tall and wide. Blackish red bark. Deep red spring and summer foliage, scarlet in fall.

Dive on the wreck of a ship whose loss gave Hitler an excuse to declare war on the United States.
- World renowned wreck diver John Chatterton exposes long submerged secrets.
- Extraordinary photography captures every step of these underwater missions.
- Trace the tale of the Rhein, a German merchant ship which sank under mysterious circumstances.
Armed with the latest underwater technology, driven by boundless curiosity and steeled with courage, the DEEP SEA DETECTIVES travel the globe to visit long-lost shipwrecks and other enticing treasures of the deep. With their incredible expertise and experience, John Chatterton and the other Detectives bring tales to the surface that have been submerged for generations.
When Hitler declared war on the U.S., one of his justifications was that the U.S. had "compelled" three German ships to scuttle themselves. More than sixty years later, John Chatterton and Richie Kohler dive a sunken wreck off Florida's coast and discover it is the Rhein, one of Hitler's lost merchant ships. Chatterton and Kohler track the twisting tale of its sinking--from cryptic newspaper reports to official US deck logs that appear to be missing important information. Along the way, they reveal the actions of an officially neutral US government in the tense period prior to her entry into WWII.

http://www.fabrics-store.com/ These guys have linen-in all different weights, colors, etc. Most is 59 inches or more wide. They will send a free swatch card that has all of the weights on it too. I'm waiting for mine to come before I order. But go check them out. The linen cotton blend (bleached) is $5.47 per yard!!!!!ReplyDelete

This bag is awesome and you are definitely all set for summer!
This bag just says summer fun!!! Great job!ReplyDelete
your bag is super duper cute, Amy. it was sooooooooo great to meet you at quilt market. :) i enjoyed reading your posts recapping it. i'm still a bit overwhelmed by all of it, aren't you? but in a good way, of course!ReplyDelete
I love it! I just did almost the exact same thing last week--same pattern and pieced the front pocket with a charm pack of California Girl. Didn't have enough for the back pocket, so I pieced the handles instead. I should have actually quilted it like you did, though. It looks awesome like that!ReplyDelete
I adore this bag! Just gorgeous! I hope you will consider uploading a photo of it into SewSet, a new on-line sewing pattern & tutorial search engine. I would love for others to be able to find it and you when searching!!!ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for sharing!
