I like to call them the strategy gods. Warcraft, Warcraft II, Warcraft II Expansion, StarCraft, StarCraft: Broodwars, Diablo, and the yet to be released Diablo 2 and Warcraft 3 (which is looking awesome). These people have more creativity inside their nostrals than Creative people on a good day. After providing us with years of single player fun, they went and made the best multiplayer experience ever, Battle.net. All this from one game developer. Please, Blizzard, don't stop spoiling us. Warcraft 2, in my opinion, is better than StarCraft. I personally like fantasy more than the sci-fi genre but that didn't greatly affect my opinions. With various ground, air, and _water_ units... warcraft towers over its competition. The campaigns require thinking and the storyline is addictive. I always feel like killing some Orcs after school and then screaming, "This is for Azeroth, you scum bags!" for no reason whatsoever after a long day at school. And you probably do too. So, pop in this game, read this faq, and get ready for the strategy game of the millenium! **NOTE** When you see the word Magiks, I didn't spell magics wrong, its the way that Blizzard spells it.** ===================================================== ==========3 a brief history of the fall of azeroth=== ===================================================== (as told by the Matriarch of Tirisfal) **TAKEN FROM BLIZZARD INSTRUCTION BOOKLET** My name is Aegwyn, and for over one thousand years I have wandered the realms of this world and endeavored to safeguard the peoples of its lands against the ethereal powers of the Great Dark Beyond. I have seen mighty kingdoms rise and fall. I have witnessed the deeds of high nobility and the lowliest of rabble both conspire to define the destiny of mankind. It has been only recently that I have, regrettably, become directly involved in the matters of men. For countless ages it has been the charge of my Order to shelter and protect mortal man from the mysteries of the Great Dark, and the palpable, heinous evils of the realms beyond. To battle these dark forces of the Twisting Nether we were given considerable power. And longevity rivaling that even the ancient Elves. With this power came one grave burden -- The Guardian must not interfere with the affairs of men until the time comes when a seccessor must be chosen and the mantle of guardianship is passed to another. Thus did I -- Aegwyn, last Guardian of the Order of Tirifal -- judge that my time had come. Forty-two winters had passed since i first came to the kingdom of Azeroth in search of the Conjurer Nielas Aran. It was he whom I had chosen to sire the heir of my powers. Nielas was exceptionally talented in the simple conjurative magiks of men, and I believed that he would be the perfect mortal father for my child... and so he was.... I gave birth to a son and named him Medivh -- or "Keeper of Secrets" in the ancient tongue of the elves - in the fall of the year 559. I transferred all of my knowledge and power into the infant, locking it deeply within him to manifest itself only when he reached physical maturity. Believing that my work on this world was done and seeing my son would be cared for by the Nielas' people, I wandered across the fields of time, preparing myself for the passing. I kept a distant, watchful eye on my son for much of his young life. I was assured that the deep-sided altuism of Tirisful would guide him in his trials and temper his heart and mind as to make him worthy of the Guardianship that was, I believed, his destiny. On the eve of the making of his thirteenth birthday, the power locked deep inside of my son awakened. Unable to deal with the raw, cosmic energies surging inside him, Medivh suffered a massive phychic trauma. He was pacified by the good Clerics of the Northshire. They removed the youth to their sacred Abbey and for six years tended to his all but comatose body. Eventually, Medivh awakened from his sleep seemingly in full control of his faculties and powers. Yet, underneath the confident and almost arrogant facade, I somehow knew that my son had become malevolent and corrupt. The wisdom and power that was his birthright had been perverted by distant forces within the Twisting Nether, altering the Human part of his soul and marking him with its evil touch forever. It was not until the first wave of those wretched creatures known as the Orcs thundered through the dark rift that I realized how incedibly dangerous my son had become... With his mastery over the arcane energies increasing almost by the moment, Medivh had set out to probe the extent of his ability to manipulate the world around him. Delving into the forbidden arts of Necromancy, Medivh began to unravel the mysteries of life and death. He took to consorting with Daemons from the lower planes, using their powers to argument his own. His hunger for power became stronger, and with every minor success Medivh fell ever deeper into the dark abyss of madness. He traveled far throughout the astral plane, exploring the infinate secrets of the Great Dark Beyond. It was then, in the midst of swirling chaotic hallucinations, that Medivh first encountered a world beyond his own and captured a glimpse of the aberrant, murderous denizens of that place. Here at last, was the tool that Medivh had been searching for... Desirous of complete dominion over Azeroth, Medivh used the insights gained from the knowledge of Tirisfal to strike a bargain with Gul'Dan the Warlock - the mightiest of the rulers of the dark, red world that haunted Medivh's visions. Communicating through deep trances and astral projection, Medivh told Gul'Dan of an ancient tomb lost beneath the north sea that contained power beyond imagination. It was to this tomb that I had banished the ancient Daemonlord Sargeras after a long and exhausting battle eight hundred years before. Even I cannot say whether or not the power of Sargeras remains entombed their. The promise of incredible power tapped from a true monarch of the underworld was enough to make the insatiable Gul'Dan agree to do Medivh's bidding. Medivh agreed to furnish the location of the Tomb of Sargeras to Gul'Dan as well as an entire world to conquer. In exchange for his gift, Medivh required total destruction of the only force he believed capable of ascendancy to power - the great Kingdom of Azeroth. Thus, in the year 583, the first of Medivh's unnatural Portals was opened between the world of Azeroth and the red world of the Orcs. Although the time of my passing had drawn near, I traveled to Medivh's mystic tower to reason with him and attempt to dissuade him from a path that would surely lead to his on destruction. The power that was once of Tirisfal had become so twisted inside him that my pleas seemed as nothing. I fought with what energy remained in my weakened body, but having given all my powers to him long ago, I was easily defeated and banished from his sight. The arrival of Gul'Dan and the Horde War Cheif Blackhand heralded a war that tore the realm of Azeroth asunder for nearly five years. The once rich kingdoms of the land were razed and left fallow my the merciless Orc armies. And yet, for all his craft and gile, Medivh did not survive to see his plans come to frutition. My son was killed by a bold Azerothien raiding party who broke into his tower and slew him in the very room where he first made contact with the Horde. Even the great War Chief Blackhand was eventually destroyed as his ultimate victory drew near, betrayed by his servant Orgrim Doomhammer. The greatest loss to the peoples of Azeroth came when King Llane, their benevolant and just ruler, was killed as Stormwind Keep fell under the siege and was overthrown by the Orchish hordes. Only the valiant leadership of Anduin Lothar, Knight errant in the brotherhood of the horse and a hero in the war, allowed the survivors of Azeroth to escape from their decimated homeland with their lives. Even with Medivh and his vile magiks gone, the Portal continued to channel hundreds of Orcs into the human lands everyday. With the death of Blackhand, Orgrim was quick to seize control over the Blackrock caln - the most powerful Orchish force on Azeroth. While others still vie for supremacy over the rest of the scattered Orc clans, Gul'Dan, the infamous warlock and chieftain of the Stormreaver clan, is rumored to be ammassing a great navy to find the legendary Tomb of Sargeras for himself. Rend and Maim, the barbarous sons of Blackhand, also have secured a strong following amongst the Orcs, and hope to wrest ultimate controls over the Horde away from the treacherous Doomhammer. Although other factions grow stronger within the chaotic Horde, it seems certain that all the clans will follow Doomhammer's plans to hunt down and destroy the renegade Humans of Azeroth wherever they choose to run... ------------------------- The Alliance of Lordaeron ------------------------- With the arrival of the Azerothian refugees upon the shores of Lordaeron, King Terenas formed a council of delagates from each of the seven kingdoms under his rule. Recounting terrible tales of destruction and carnage wrought by the Orchish invaders in Azeroth, the Steward Lord Anduin Lothar convinced the soveriegn of Lordaeron to unite themselves against this great threat. Despite much quarreling and debate, the lords acquisced to Lothar and Terenas, and agreed to unite their armies under the general command of Lothar himself. As the shores of Lordaeron had already been savaged by small bands of Orc marauders, Lothar found a strong ally in his longtime friend Admiral Daelin Proudmoore of the seaside kingdom of Kul Tiras. Thoras Trollbane, lord of Stormgarde, was also quick to offer his support for the newly formed alliance, sensing that the time for glorious battle was at hand. These warriors were not the only ones to get ready for battle... As the holy writ commandeth that the whole armor of rightousness by worn in the war against evil, Alonsus Faol - Abbot of the now destroyed Northshire Abbey - convinced the eccesiastic ministers of Lordaeron to grid their priests and the followers alike with weapons of war. As the guardians took up swords of light to defend the heavens, so must the hold men of earth be prepared to combat the dark tide that was approaching from the south. From the ancient subterranean halls of Khaz Modan came the stoic Dwarves of Ironforge, reporting that the Orcs had already begun to assualt their mountain kingdom. The Dwarves offered their support n arms and ingenious technoligies to the alliance, who assured them that the Orcs would be driven back at all costs. The reclusive Elves of Silvermoon ventured forth from the shadowy forests of Quel'thalas to offer their services to the alliance. Their magiks, so closely tied to the forces of earth, had shown evidence that the Orcs had been defiling the very lands of Lordaeron as part of their sinister plans. The ill-bred prejudice that had existed for eons amongst the three races was put aside, and a bond was formed between these ancient neighbors. The bond would become a force known across the whole of Lordaeron as the alliance. Thus, united in arms against a common foe, the alliance stands upon the shores of destiny and awaits the coming of the tides of darkness. ================================================== ==========4 the history of the orcish ascension=== ================================================== (as told by Gul'Dan, cheiftan of the stormreaver clan) ------------------------------ The Rise of the Shadow Council ------------------------------ Like an elemental force of havoc and destruction we thundered through the lands of Draenei devastating all that we beheld. Not one life was spared. No building was left standing. The only traces of their existance were the blood-soaked fields they had worked for nearly five thousand years and the rank, acrid smell of the huge victory fires that consumed the bodies of their young. The Draenei were a weak people - hardly worth the effort of our raiding sweep. In the end, however, even these simple victories serve to keep the inferior in their place... It has always been so with my kind. The savage, brutal tendencies of the masses are easily manipulated by those who hold true power. Power is the true force that drives the great destructive machine that is the Horde. Those who imagine themselves in the possession of this power rally around thier clan banners of violence. Yet without a common foe, even the leaders of the Orc clans blindly turn upon each other. The appetite for destruction that prevails amongst these fools drive the Horde; might and might alone is honored above all things. I am Gul'Dan - the greatest of all Warlocks and Initiate of the Seventh Circle of the Shadow Council. No one knows the dark, burning allure of the ultimate power better than I. In what passed as my youth, I studied Orc magiks through the tribal Shaman of my clan. My natural talent for channeling the cold, negative-energies of the Twisting Nether brought me notable standing amongst the other Shaman, and I knew that even Ner'zhul, the greatest of my teachers, became jealous of me as my abilities grew even stronger. My aspirations rose higher than those of my peers and masters alike, for I knew that the scope of their vision was limited by their devotion to the advancement of the Horde. I cared nothing for the Horde or its petty politics. I cared nothing for this world over which we had complete dominion. I cared only for the chance to fathom the spiraling mysteries of the Great Dark Beyond. I had begun secret explorations of energies far beyond the scope that my so-called tutors could possibly comprehend. It was at this time that i discoverd a being of immense power - the Daemon Kil'jaeden. I was in awe at his heartless fury. To witness his awesome power was to be all but consumed. In the fleeting, fevered nightmares he brought me, I touched the essence of what lies beyond. Within me an unfathomable lust was sewn - a desire to wield the fury of etheral storms and to stand unscathed within the dying hearts of burning suns. Under the tutelage of Kil'jaeden, I realized how limited even my understanding had been. Untold histories of ancients Daemon races and primal magical dimensions were made known to me. I learned that there existed worlds without numder, scattered throughout the darkness beyond the sky - worlds to which i might lead the Horde as only one of my abilities could. Though i remained with my people on the dark, red world of Draenei, I soon learned to project myself into the depths of the Twisting Nether, being driven nearly mad by the whispering chaos contained therein. Although it seemed it would mean my death, I was irresistibly compelled to continue my sojourn until, finally unbound from my cororeal existence, I understood the whispers. It was then that I first spoke to the dead... Ancestral worship has long been at the heart of Orchish religion. While nearly all the Orchish Hordes believed that all our dead elders watched and guided us from the depths of some lost realm of chaos, I believed this notion to be a product of ritual and not reality. Within the Twisting Nether I discovered that the spirits of the dead do linger on, floating on the astral winds between the worlds. I learned that they kept their endless, silent vigil over the clans in hope of finding some escape from their lifeless torment. I knew that these spirits of the dead would be a useful tool for anyone who bind them to his will. Years passed. My apprenticeship under Kil'jaeden had allowed me to become the most powerful Warlocks had seen in many generations. My place in the Horde was as a respected leader, but as ever, tensions ran high amongst the clans. The destruction of the Draenei left nothing upon which the great beast of war - could feed. After centuries of violence and warfare, we had finally conquered the whole of our world. With no enemies left to crush and no new lands to conquer, the clans had fallen into a state of utter anarchy. Minor disputes between clans led to open battle and massive bloodshed. Those cheiftains who attempted to assume the position of overlord soon found themselves slaughtered by the ravenous legions of the disheartened Horde. I knew the time had come to claim the mantle of power that i had so long neglected. I quickly gathered together the few warlocks who had shown some spark of passion and desire to rise above the petty quarrelling of the clans. To these Warlocks i bestowed the knowledge of the dead by leading them in secret rituals and communing with the spirits of the Twisting Nether. Those who were incapable of channeling this power were destroyed. After a time a pact was forged between the members of our circle and the dark spirits whose energies we had learned to invoke. I would use my place among the warlocks to shape the thoughts of others while, cloaked by a veil of secrecy, they would be immune to the caprices of the bloodthirsty masses. Thus did the Shadow Council come to be. Within a few short months the Shadow Council had its hand in all of the important political matters within the Horde. Nothing occured within the Horde that we did not know about, and many events took place by our design - so cleverly implemented that even the clan chieftains were oblivous to our manipulations. Before half a year had passed, we had assumed near total control of the inner workings of the Horde. Yet, behind all of our secret machinations, there loomed the silent and ominous shadow of the Daemon Kil'jaeden. In pursuit of furthering our magical resources, I opened a new school of magical discipline that became known as Necromancy. We began training young warlocks in the arcane mysteries of life and death. Again, with tutelage from the Daemon Kil'jaeden, these Necrolytes delved into the dark arts, eventually gaining power enough to animate and control the bodies of the newly dead. Every victory - every success - left me with emptiness I could not fill. I came to realize that the Shadow Council could serve my purposes only to and extent, and thus I would require even greater power should I wish to become the true harbinger of our destiny. -------------------------------------------- The Mastery of Forces - Medivh and Blackhand -------------------------------------------- Things were well within the Horde. Though the Shadow Council kept the warring clans pacified by the promise of escape from the dying world, I knew that the new order - much like the war against the Draenei - would provide only a brief respite if I could not find new lands for the Orcs to conquer. My contemplation on this matter was disturbed late one night when I was suprised by the sound of screams emanating from the warlocks' tower. I arrived to find many of the apprentices locked in deep trances, their faces twisted with masks of pain. The warlocks, whom I questioned in detail, could tell me only that they had felt an unexplainable presence in their dreams. I returned to my stronghold, deeply puzzled by the fact that whatever it was that had contacted the warklocks, had made no attempt to reach me. I sought the counsel of Kil'jaeden about this presence. He also was touched by this power - a power that was beyond any he had ever experienced before. Whether it was the image of a force so awesome that it could cause this baneful daemon to actually feel fear, or my own trepidation, I fled - moving aimlessly through the Twisting Nether for what seemed and eternity. It was during my fevered flight that the presence finally made contact with me. It radiated untold power, but it lacked the emotionless control displayed by Kil'jaeden. My senses seemed to to take control over the dread that had engulfed me, and my mind began to cipher and reason. I knew if i could divine the desires of this force, no matter how powerful, I could use it to further my own ends. The presence identified itself as Medivh, a sorcerer from some far distant world. We communicated not in words, but in a guarded joing of minds. His mind seemed boundless, but his thoughts moved so swiftly that it was difficult to learn anything from him. All the while, I knew he was probing me - learning more and more about the Orcs and our magic. I could never learn as much from him as he would from me, and I soon broke contact with him. I sought the counsel of Kil'jaeden, but he refused to answer my summons. Somehow I knew that he had forsaken his students because he was afraid of this Medivh. I found myself again doubting my skills. Could I contend with a being who could intimidate my own master? I continued to venture into the Twisting Nether for serveral weeks, all but forgetting the disturbance that had caused me to question myself. Then one night, Medivh appeared to me in my dreams... "You fear me, for you do not understand me. See my world and understand my fear. Then fear no more." I was powerless to resist what came next ...barren wastes... ...dark swamps, teeming with life... ...endless fields of emerald grasses... ...forests of magnificent trees... ...farmlands filled with rich harvests... ...villages of proud, strong people... Images came, flashing much too quick to comprehend. And then...something. A fleeting picture that left a longing stirring inside of my soul... ...buried deep beneath the ocean; dark and ruined, but still breathing... ...still pulsing with the lifeblood of the earth itself... ...an ancient power... ...ancient and terrible... I awoke. I embraced consciousness knowing all along that the dream had beem real. Medivh had shown me the wonders of his world, knowing that the Horde would not be content until his world was ours... I met with the members of the Shadow Council concerning the visions that we had seen. Although their was much debate as to the true intentions of Medivh, I informed the Shadow Council that a way to escape from our world would soon be ours. I would seek the aid of Medivh in creating a way to get to his world, and then we would subjugate his race as we had done to all others who stood before us. Although he had appeared to many warlocks with these images of a new and fertile world, we agreed to keep the knowledge of this enigmetic message to ourselves. Those warlocks outside of the Shadow Council who had shared in the visions were killed; for if the secret were revealed before preparations were made, the Horde would tear itself apart. Weeks passed with no word from Medivh. My attempts to contact him were fruitless. It was as if he had erased any trace of himself from the Twisting Nether. Some members of the Council gave up any hope of the wizard ever returning. ...Then the rift appeared... It took considerable time to expand the rift enough to send the massive frame of an Orc through. The first scouts to reture from the other side seemed to be driven completely mad by what they had seen. These early failures did not detur us, and subsequent quests confirmed that the world beyond this rift appeared similar to what was depicted by our visions. Witht he combined powers of the Horde's warlock clans and the Shadow Council, we were able to enlarge the mysterious rift so as to create a portal. This portal was used to move a great number of Orcs into this unknown land. A small outpost was quickly built on the other side of the rift, and Orc scouts were sent to explore the surrounding areas. The agents of the Shadow Council reported that the denizens of this world were called Humans, and their land were known as Azeroth. We found that these humans were a weak race, farming their fields and living peacefully in the countryside. I feared that they would prove no more of a challenge than the Draenei, and would not appease the hunger of the Orchish war machine for long. The clan chieftains, quickly swayed for their lust of blood and war, agreed that it was time to leave this dying world and lay claim to the domains of Azeroth. While the Shadow Council kept close watch over the workings of the Horde, the masses looked to the clan chiefs as their leaders. Two chieftains arose who were well respected and feared by various clans - Cho'gall, the Ogre-Mage of the Twilight's Hammer clan, and Kilrogg Deadeye of the Bleeding hallow clan. These powerful leaders were expected to direct the Horde to a swift and savage victory over the Humans. Thus, as the Horde gradually channeled through the rift into Azeroth, Cho'gall and Kilrogg began to plan their assualt against the Human stronghold of Stormwind. The attack against Stormwind was catastrophic. Our armies, expecting to meet weak resistance, charged headlong into the enemy fortress. Suprisingly, the Humans soldiers held our forces at bay. Then they unleashed warriors mounted upon beasts of muscle and sinew to devastate our troops. The Humans forced our troops to retreat back into the swamplands surrounding our outpost and the portal where, only by the invoking the shrouding mist of shadow, were we able to escape. This decisive and humiliating defeat threw the Horde into chaos. Cho'gall and Kilrogg blamed each other's incompetence for the failure, and the Orcs quickly polarized into factions that supported either chieftain. The Shadow Council desperately sought a remedy to the violence that was sure to follow, but the volatile nature of the Orcs made it difficult to appeal to reason of wisdom. I realized that the Horde needed a strong leader that could unify the clans under his control - and be kept in his place. Thus did I first learn of Blackhand the Destroyer... Blackhand, chieftain of the young Blackrock clan and a Raider in the Sythegore Arm, was well honored by most Orcs within the Horde. M |

Grayson Nursing and Rehabilitation Center thanks all in the community who donated gifts, cards, wreaths, money and a generous amount of their time with our residents during Christmas season.
It occurred to me while decorating tree after tree in the facility (as well as dealing with lights that do not work, ornaments that break and the occasional tree that falls over), that this is not what it is all about.
It is about the smiles on our residents' faces when they see a brightly lit tree. It's about an Alzheimer's resident unable to communicate with family, but sings the words to familiar Christmas hymns and songs.
It's about children and youth groups caroling on the halls for the residents' enjoyment. It's reminiscing with war veterans regarding Christmas in the past when they were away from their families.
It's about the old and the young coming together at this festive time of year to share a smile and a laugh. It's about making residents' home a winter wonderland of trees and decorations.
It's about nibbling on sweet Christmas cookies and placing small trees in their rooms to illuminate the dark night. It's about someone who is lonely and ill being lifted up by the sound of a Christmas carol being sung. It is about sharing Christian love with others less fortunate.
"There's no place like home for the holidays" — this is a true statement for everyone. At Grayson Nursing, we try to make the residents' "home away from home" a safe, warm, secure environment of love and caring.
I encourage you to come visit. We have numerous visitors during the holidays, but our residents need social contact with their local community all year long. If you are unable to visit, say a prayer or two for our residents. They are just sweet individuals with a rich past that are now in need of love and attention.
To inquire about volunteering, contact me (276) 773‑0303. There are many opportunities available for volunteering — from delivering mail, to playing checkers, to simply sitting in a resident's room and conversing. Come join us.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) _ Greg Biffle scored his first victory of
the season today _ even though he ran out of gas before crossing
the finish line _ in a wild race at the Kansas Speedway that
jumbled the Chase for the championship standings.
The Chase field imploded at the speedway, where rain and
impending darkness cut the race short by 85 miles. Seven of the 12
Chase drivers finished 30th or worse, and defending Nextel Cup
champion Jimmie Johnson reclaimed the points lead.
The race ended under caution because Juan Pablo Montoya blew a
tire with four laps to go. It should have set up an overtime
finish, but darkness forced NASCAR to run the final laps under
Biffle ran out of gas on the last lap, and local star Clint
Bowyer and Johnson both passed him before he reached the finish
line. But the win went to Biffle.

Grateful Dead
so there I was happily buying and downloading DPs and Download Series thru Dead.net when I had some spare cash.....then the whole lot stops.
Now all I can do is buy Downloads (and only some DPs) thru iTunes you folks in the US may not be aware that iTunes will only sell you items thru the site in the country where your credit card is registered..so I cannot buy from iTunes US. And guess what. iTunes France (where I live) does not sell DP or the Download Series. So I am shut out completely.
Folks in Europe only had sporadic chances to see the Dead and now we are not even allowed to hear them! Perhaps this is for the same reasons that French Fries became Freedom Fries!! Who's in charge here? They shut down SBDs on archive.org presumably to make some money, but don't seem to want my hard earned cash. Make your minds up please! Either give it away or let us buy it!!!
Look, I know you nice folks who moderate this wonderful site are not personally responsible for this mess, but the fact remains that all the music that was available as downloads thru the old site no longer is on the new one. Can you PLEASE use whatever contacts you have to express just how infuriating this is. Oh and please also say a big big thanks to David L for maintaining the lifeline that is 'Tapers' Section'...............at least someone is thinking of us!!
'Big Boss Man...can't you hear my call??????????
I checked out the Download Series on iTunes, and I gotta say, I'm pretty disapointed. They are now only available as 128k sound files in Apple's audio format, what a bummer. When these were for sale on dead.net they were available in multiple file formats, and with no DRM. I really appreciated having these shows available in FLAC format for the great sound quality. I always opted for the FLAC files. And it was nice to have the jewel case inserts to download also.
I'm sure the Dead organization have their reasons for doing what they do, but come on, these shows deserve much better treatment then being turned into another overpriced, crappy sounding iTunes product. I don't have the entire Download Series, and I would like to buy the ones that i don't have, but I refuse to buy them from iTunes.
These are great shows, please bring them back to dead.net where they belong!
And on a much happier note, I love the 3FTV release. Great sound quality, and a great show! My thanks to everyone involved for puting out that fine show. Keep 'em comin' Rhino!
Well, I finally received my copy of Three from the Vault today (hooray!). First off, the re-mastering is awesome! Really sounds great.
This was an interesting show on many levels (Micky's last show the day before, a slew of new songs). Total rocked out Dead. Lean and mean. No time for subtlety, just hard assed rock and roll here. A prelude to Skull and Roses. Billy really played his heart out on this show! Wow! There were times I think he overplayed a bit, but I think I can empathize (his bother had left and who knew when he would return?) He seemed to be trying to fill in all the space left by Micky. The MVP's of this show were (IMHO) Pigpen and Phil. Pig is in total command during his numbers. Phil is just sick throughout.
First set:
It's hard to really say much about Loser, Bertha, and Playin'. They sound much like they did the night before. It's unfair to criticize the performances as the band is still feeling their way around the songs.
Okay, so Truckin' takes a little bit to get truckin' but eventually they manage to get something going.
Cumberland is tight and fun, despite the lyrical flubs (who cares about missed lyrics at this point anyway? I just fill it in myself).
Dark Hollow is a nice little nugget. I don't think I've ever heard an electric version before.
The band throws out a stunted and perfunctory China, but they really get running during a spirited Rider.
The MVP of the first set is Pigpen. Man he is in great voice throughout, really pushing the band. It Hurts me Too and Smokestack are incredible. I've always thought the Dead's blues playing was as if really advanced and hip aliens from Alpha Centauri had learned to play the blues and genetically engineered Pigpen from the DNA of Lightnin' Hopkins and Odetta. Interstellar blues! I love Jerry's eerie hoots and whistles during Pigs rap in Smokestack.
Set Two:
Greatest Story and Deal are to new to really comment on. But Bird Song is a nice debut. Raw, but well performed.
Wharf Rat, on the other hand, seems as if it had been sprung Athena-like from the ether as a fully formed song. Sure it would become a bit more dynamic, but this performance, as well as the debut performance the night before, are brilliant. (The Wharf Rat on 2/18 comes out of Dark Star and goes into Beautiful Jam>Dark Star. Yeah.)
So, to continue, I actually like the JBG here. I've never really thought the boys ever did JBG justice, but this one is alright.
Easy wind is some more psychedelic-swamp blues. Very tasty grooves. Pig is in full command.
That's it For The Other One gets tasty during the Other One section. Phil is really on fire. This would be a good version to play for someone you want to turn on to the Dead.
Good Lovin' is fun. Pig's rap is funny, although he seems to run out of steam toward the end. Maybe a few minutes too long.
All in all, a decent release. Sound is stellar; can't ask for much better than this. A lot of green curios I probably won't listen to much, but a few kick ass bluesy performances I'll definitely return to!
Yo Soy Boricua!
After reading all the comments and replys. It seems you guys have really sold out. It's a real shame, and I'm sorry to say, that Jerry isn't stearing this ship anymore. I can imagine he's spinning like a top where ever he is.
iTunes only. Apple is the Beatles. They, that were left, should have done all they could to have Jobs and co. change the name in the very beginning. While I don't particully like Bill G. and his hold on OSs etc. I won't buy into i.... anything.
Everything I've learned is from The Grateful Dead and Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
It's all good Izzie. No problems getting the first release (1-1-77!). **it happens. I will survive.
Jeeze, REK. I'm sorry you've had to deal with this. I'll get this to the attention of the store folks, but that's all we can do here. Customer Service is supposed to be getting better, for what that's worth. Our admin folk here on this side of the house are as blown away as we are about the level of service at the Store.
Anything from 1979 to 1990 with Brent. Some Fantastic Years!
Customer service seems to be a thing of the past. I do realize the mods have no control, but just needed to get it off my chest. Calling customer service obviously didn't do anything. I am looking forward to hearing it though. More on topic, I'd love to get a listen to the Normanized Winterland Box.
That sucks, Rek. I hope you have 3FTV soon.
It's too bad there's no other way for folks to vent about the Store. Communication and customer service should be top priority for Rhino...To be fair, the Mods around here have no control over that part of the operation.
There have been some stellar releases over the years...I'm still waiting for the next one.
I can't tell you how unhappy I am with the current customer service. I happily preordered and paid for expedited shipping so I could receive it on June 26 (guaranteed on the preorder page). Along comes the 26th, and I anxiously awaited to no avail. Calling customer service was a joke. The phone rang for two minutes and then went to a busy signal. No voicemail, no please wait and we'll be right with you, no nothing. I tried calling four times with the same miserable results. I e-mailed twice, but to this day still no reply. I finally got someone on the phone late the next day. Seems like there are only two people working there...literally. No apology no nothing. The girl I talked to was clueless. She had no idea why my order hadn't shipped yet even though my card was charged on the 14th of June! Four days later, and still no VFTV III here in SoCal yet. I expected a lot more. The thing that pisses me off the most is the lack of customer service. This is a huge company we're talking about here not some mom and pop operation. If you can't handle the job, give it back to Music Today.

The Best iPad Air 2 Case
Apple Smart Case
The best iPad Air 2 case is Apple's Smart Case. It placed at or near the top of every category we tested for: weight, thinness, quality, and protection. It's the only case that offers full iPad coverage, including the buttons. Its premium leather finish also feels much nicer than cheaper cases. Read More >
The iPad Air 2 is the Best Tablet (so far)
iPad Air 2
Several members of our staff went hands-on with the new iPad Air and iPad mini, and we've switched our best tablet pick to the new iPad Air 2. It's faster, thinner, and more versatile than last year's models, plus it has fingerprint authentication, a better camera, and new video features. The iPad mini didn't get many updates by comparison, making it less of a value than the Air this time around. Read More >
The Best iPad/iPad Air Keyboard Case
Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for iPad Air
For the third year in a row, our favorite iPad keyboard case is the Logitech Ultrathin (~$80). It attaches and detaches securely and easily, offering the best balance between portability and typing experience. It doesn't cover the back, but your screen will be protected from scratches while in your bag. Read More >
The Best iPad Air Case
CaseCrown Omni
After hours of research and hands-on testing with an iPad Air, we have found the CaseCrown Omni to be the best iPad Air case (so far). It survives small drops, fits with precision and has a fully functioning front cover that doubles effectively as a stand. Its design preserves the sophistication and ergonomics of Apple's tablet better than anything we've seen so far, including Apple's own SmartCase. At anywhere between $20-$40 (depending on pricing algorithms), it's what I would buy right now. Read More >
The Best Android Tablet
Nexus 7
If I wanted an Android tablet, I'd get a 32 GB Nexus 7 for $269. For under $300 you get a fast, light, capable 7" tablet running a stock version of Google's latest mobile operating system with a high-resolution display that's perfect for watching HD movies, gaming, reading or surfing the web.

Rob Beschizza of Boing Boing Gadgets has thoughtfully linked to the fledgling PCG Wiki. He's overstating the number of articles on the wiki already (I think he confused the visitors figure with the articles figure on the last wiki post I made). Many of the articles are stubs which link through to the relevant wikipedia entry, but I'm hoping that contributors (that means you, gentle reader) will fill out the details.
I also hope this isn't premature publicity: I want the wiki to be a long term resource, not a flash in the pan, and don't just want people to turn up, wander around and leave disappointed at the early state of the site.

I had a real bad crash when my heli caught a gust of wind, shot straight up and into a power line, I cut the throttle and it fell 20 feet or so onto concrete. I wrecked damn near every part on the heli, the frame and electronics (and the swash plate were all that survived, I also lost a cyclic servo. So I replaced them with align parts. |

Wow, this place is so much like Harmony Central (guitar forum)...who cares what it is? I've got a Double Horse cheap, crappy, mostly plastic helicopter that I enjoy the Hell out of flying, and the sixty bucks I spent on it won't be too much of a dent in my wallet if I have to fix it or even modify it if I so choose. People want to spend a ton of money on a toy helicopter is their business, but when you get people like that Gaui guy looking down his nose at people for what they own...well, all you really have to do there is consider the source...

they bought the design for the first "T-rex" a 450 size heli since then all there stuff is done in house and are not clones of any other helis on the market but the T-rex was/is not a clone now if you want to get techical almost ALL helis are a clone of the early Hirobo and Shuller(sp?) models if you look at the major parts CCPM helis are pretty much layed out the same as well but i dont know another heli that looks close to Aligns larger birds any way if some one whats to buy a clone thats fine but i fell they should be given the whole story if all your going to do is hover around and some FF , and already know how to fly and build/repair a heli sure a clone might be ok but for some one starting out flying on a known good heli is a HUGE help no guessing if the tail issue is setup or a bad gyro/vibs and trying to chase it down with little knowledge of the hobby i tryed to learn on a Blade SR not even a clone but a poor heli none the less and was bearly hovering tail in i did some homework got a T-rex 500 and was hover all orientations with in a few months sport flying in a year why? 1. i wasnt fixing the heli all the time 2. i wasnt chasing issues with it that i had limited knowledge of 3. by building a kit i had a better understanding of how to repair it so repairs where painless |

Am I late to the party? Damn. However I'd just like to point out that about 50% of how an helicopter flies lies in its head design, and quality thereof. And this true both on the 30 bucks toy helicopter, and the real thing, full size machine. A well engineered, no slop and correctly maintained mechanic will beat the crap out of any other helicopter, clone or not. This is one of those areas where even a little detail can make a huge difference. Sorry for the interruption, keep on brawlin'

martin that almost would be true but cheap junk servos do not work with a flybarless multi axis gyro..the only small heli that gaui makes is a 255 size and no cheap junk clone would even compare to that.......Darsh a good qualist heli can handle the beating and keep flying unlike a cheap clone with cheap head parts..

Clones get people into the hobby and thats what matters. Eventually, if they stick to it, they will step up to the "better quality" products like TSA, MA, and the like....... When it comes down to it, the safety part all comes down to the individual person and how they assemble, fly and maintain their heli. You can own a top of the line, state of the art, $2000 heli and not take the time to assemble it properly, fly recklassly, or not maintain it properly and do some serious damage. There aren't to many pilots I know, including me, that did not start with a clone. Never any mishaps on my end nor on the end of the other pilots I know. I see nothing wrong with it and I think it;s great that we have the option to buy cheap and still have a blast flying and growing in this hobby.

I learned (or tried to learn) on a Blade CP. Nothing good in results so I moved to a CP Pro, still had many problems. The minuet I upgraded the servos/gyro/motor/ESC/ brushless motor/ and got a DX6, I could actually FLY the CP-Pro and not have any problems because I was no longer having mechanical or electronic failure everytime I powered it up.
The trend here seems to be that as long as you use good stuff to build a clone, they can be as good as the expensive brand name units or REALLY close to being as good. *Align 450 Pro "combo or super combo" about $370 to $470 USD *EXI-450 Pro (bare bones kit all metal head and tail) about $140 USD *Keep R/C or HK 450 Pro (same as EXI but noteable lower quality) about $60 USD I own or have owned all 4 brands and really the EXI 450 comes in at the top of my list of helicopters to buy but alas, they're all dried up.... Happy Thanksgiving everyone, and Happy Holidays. My avitar TH-57 shown now has the Align 450 Pro in it. It used to be an EXI-450 pro in there. |

I was a beginner when I bought my clone. After building and figuring out my own problem I can say I have learned MUCH more than I would have had I bought a RTF or an assembled kit. I did not just use the esc that came in the kit. I had to research what motors and esc's worked together. I had to learn all about the LiPo batteries. Then there is the troubleshooting issues in flight, and the controller configuration. I would not trade my kit experience for an RTF. In my opinion that is how people get in and quickly out of this hobby, they buy a kit, crash it, and throw it in a corner and forget about it.

1990 Jaguar XJ-Series 4 Dr XJ6 Sedan
ProsJust gliding! If kept in good condition, the Ford-area models are of higher quality than Jags were known to be. Will remain a classy car. Relatively easy to get used parts. Cheap models available. ConsStill british...complicated to repair, expensive new parts. High maintanance costs. Handling of a trunk, but still better than every american sedan.
It's A Jag, Man - What Else To Comment? — The 4ltrs-engine is not the most powerful way to drive a jag, but enough to make relaxed 200km/h without overusing the engine. Anyway the XJ will never be a sportscar... but an eye-catcher! You don't drive, you glide! Girls will always love it.. if it's a new one or an old one... it is a Jag and you will never be judged as snobby, but as classy! The daimler-interiour is just great with the wooden tables in the back, all the lights etc. Handle engine careful if cold. |
1990 Jaguar XJ-Series 4 Dr XJ6 Sedan
ProsFast, Fun, and Pretty ConsRepairs expensive, Hard to find garages to fix them, especially wiring/electtricals.
Expensive To Own, But Very Very Worth It If You Can Afford It. — Performance - Fast acceleration. Too heavy to spin the tires. Top speed of 140, not bad for an inline 6. Handling could be better, but it is sporty. Build Quality - Good everywhere except the wiring, British cars are notorious for faulty wiring and Jaguar felt the need for separate fuses for both sides. Typical repairs for a 20+ y/o car. Appearance - Beautiful car, commands attention on the road. Somewhat of a muscle car stance. Interior was well done, but lacks cupholders (not a single one in the whole car!!!) Cost Of Ownership - Only takes premium gas, when I say only, I MEAN only. tried 91 and she spits a sputters, had to put octane booster to rid of the faulty gas. Repairs are few and far between, but expensive when you get them. Fun Factor - Hellishly fun to drive, stock its nearly impossible to spin the tires, which could be good or bad depending on how you look at it. Handling is typical for a big car, but nice and sporty. Engine has a nice roar to it and revving high while parked will shift the car back and forth nicely xD Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
1990 Jaguar XJ-Series 4 Dr XJ6 Sovereign Sedan
ProsHandles nicely and has a plush ride, Inline 6 is a great motor ConsWIRING!!! every reliability issue I had stemmed from wiring problems
If You Hate The Look Of A Cadillac And The Thought Of Reliability, This Car Is For You — My Jaguar was a great driving car, it looked awesome and drove awesome... when It would start. It wasn't very reliable, and that means a lot coming from someone that has owned more than one British car. The interior felt cheap, and the wiring was just plain stupidly engineered. Mileage was only mediocre for an inline 6 and it was geared so high that acceleration was hardly an option. Also the fluid for the Hydraulic ride control was super expensive! Primary Use: Commuting to work |
1990 Jaguar XJ-Series 4 Dr XJ6 Sedan
ProsExceptional when it worked ConsWas in the shop most of the time
Flawed But Beautiful — Another Pininfarina design, and in my opinion one of the most beautiful sedans ever built. Exceptional appearance, and ride quality, and classic British interior. However, awful quality and this car cost me more money and spent more time in the shop than any other car I ever owned. Eventually had to cut my losses and sell it to avoid a divorce. Primary Use: Family transportation |
1990 Jaguar XJ-Series 4 Dr XJ6
Proscheap entrance to english luxery Conselectrical problems
I Love It — A beautyful car with the most luxerious interiour you can find. With a powerful engine. I love this car. It is relaxing to drive. The seats are exceptional and after 1000km pr day you stil are fresh. The whole car gives a distingquist impression Primary Use: Family transportation |
1990 Jaguar XJ-Series 4 Dr XJ6 Vanden Majestic Sedan
ProsIt is my show car and attracts a lot of attention as I have won 4 trophies with it. Was love at first sight! Wonderful exterior color and beautiful interior, exclusivity of this particular model Consnot great mpg, somewhat expensive to repair
Never Get Tired Looking At It Or Showing It. — Jaguar outdid themselves with this car, producing only 527 VANDEN PLAS MAJESTICS, and only for the US market in 1990. The classic style, outstanding Regency Red Metallic finish and impressive Magnolia Leather and Burled Walnut interior make it a very impressive show car. |
1990 Jaguar XJ-Series 4 Dr Sovereign
ProsLike nothing on earth, amazing crash resistance, feel good factor ConsElectrical issues, MPG & rust.
1 Of The Worlds Best Cars — Pro`s easily outweigh the cons, buy a good one & you`ll fall in love, buy a bad one & watch your bank ballance plummet. Economy is the biggest issue, expect 14mpg in town, 25mph cruising on the motorway... |
1990 Jaguar XJ-Series 4 Dr XJ6
Proslooks sweet back in the day, memorable drive Consmainetnance is crazy, and no rersale value
I Would Like To Get A Newer Version, Afterall, A Jag Is A Jag — was good for its time with the pullout tablesin the back seats to entertain drinking buddies in the back, right down to the uk mobster look for the designgood handling, when the bearings and brakes go, be prepared to dish out cash, body rots suprisingly quick, love the seats, not good on fuel but if you want that, remember, it Aint a smart car, a blast from the past, sweet to drive though Primary Use: Commuting to work |
1990 Jaguar XJ-Series 4 Dr XJ6
ProsImpressive,Flashy, ConsProne to Electrical Troubles. But easy to fix if you ignore Jaguars Fright tactics to leave it to a Jag Tech.
A Car For All Occassions.. — Very Fast if you don't mind kickin it.Smoked a 2008 Bentley left it like it was standing still. He opened it up We laughed said ok bud here we go, and within two blocks I cleaned his A** damnn Bentley sounded like a Mortified Lawnmower.. On a bad note not enough road to open the car full. 232 mph before I ran outta straight road, had to back down..The car is a Dream to drive though.Cruisin,long runs,weddings, funerals,car shows..If you can maintain it it's well worth it. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
1990 Jaguar XJ-Series 4 Dr XJ6 Sedan
Prosthe interior n acceleration Consfuel consumption
Solid And Dependable — solid and dependable. the performance is super,the acceleration is very smooth and its fun to drive. strong on ground. the body is very stong and the interior is just wonderfull for a car of its age. its worth a trial. jst that fuel consumption is high. a ride u can depend on anytime. |

The cross-genre sound of Dopapod is the result of fearless experimentation and a disregard for stylistic rules. With a buffet mix of influences that includes electronic and indie, classic and alternative rock, the four-piece band from Brooklyn first captured its sound in 2009 with its debut album Radar. Critically acclaimed for its experimental finesse, the album set the standard high for Dopapod and the band responded with its 2011 live follow-up I Saw Live Dopapod Live Evil I Was. Though recorded live the record featured spliced and mixed multi-track recordings that demonstrated the bands mastery of both dubstep drops and guitar-powered rock. Dopapod released its second studio album, Drawn Onward, in 2011.

Texas singer Chris Tomlin is known to most as a leading contemporary Christian music singer. Others may know him as a worship leader in his current home of Atlanta, Georgia where he co-leads the Passion City Church in song and praise. Tomlin's melodic nuance often ranks second to the message Tomlin is delivering, one that rarely if ever strays from God or Jesus. Tomlin has been releasing albums since 2004, many of which have been either certified Gold or Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Tomlin tours extensively through out the United States and the world.

Justice and Law Enforcement:
Prevention, Detection, and Reporting of Financial Irregularities
T-AFMD-90-27: Published: Aug 2, 1990. Publicly Released: Aug 2, 1990.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
GAO discussed the need for better prevention, detection, and reporting of financial irregularities in public companies subject to the Securities Exchange Act. GAO noted that: (1) company management, independent auditors, and government regulators all play a significant role in ensuring corporate accountability; (2) it had previously recommended numerous auditing and financial reporting improvements for public companies; (3) it believes that Congress should strengthen banking and securities laws to increase management and auditor responsibilities for detecting and reporting irregularities; (4) Congress has twice amended the act within the last 15 years to strengthen prevention and detection; and (5) various professional and government organizations have made recommendations to strengthen compliance. GAO believes that proposed legislation: (1) would require management and auditors to address and report on corporate internal controls and compliance with laws and regulations; and (2) could be improved by provisions requiring audit committees for public companies, peer review for independent auditors, better regulation of auditors, and greater cooperation between auditors and regulators.

what is actually meant by gibbs free energy and what is the difference between gibbs free energy and activation energy?In an enthalpy diagram how can it be denoted(just like for activation energy is denoted by the energy difference between transition state and reactants' enthalpy)?I just search through but couldn't get a clear idea about gibbs energy.can anyone explain with an simple example?
They have no similarities to begin with. As you have said, activation energy denotes the energy difference between transition state and reactants' enthalpy. But, Gibbs free energy is a term/ quantity whose dimensions happen to be that of energy. ΔG = -TΔSuniverse = ΔH - TΔSsystem And, as ΔSuniverse>0 for a spontaneous process, apparently ΔG<0. So, it is just a quantity with the help of which we can say if a reaction proceeds forward or not. The only way with which ΔG can be represented in an enthalpy diagram is through the relation ΔG = ΔH - TΔS; where you can vary temperature and entropy. Hope this explains it. Best of luck!

OUR VIEW: What is the solution for unstable gas prices?
Energy, from fossil fuels, nuclear, or wind or sun, is the unquestioned source of what keeps humans alive, and moves us to a better living. America has historically consumed an inordinate amount of the world's energy resources, and continues to do so. But many others now want a life similar to ours, and they are quite capable of competing, in the capitalistic sense, to achieve their goals.
