Hypocracy at it's finest.
http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/...ds-153103.htmlThe Journal News of West Nyack, N.Y., has hired armed security guards to defend its offices after receiving a torrent of phone calls and emails responding to the paper's publication of the names and addresses of area residents with pistol permits.
RGA Investigations, a private security company, "is doing private security at on location at the Journal News as a result of the negative response to the article," according to a police report first obtained by the Rockland County Times (Nanuet, N.Y.) and shared with POLITICO. The guards "are armed and will be on site during business hours through at least January 2, 2013."
Last month, in the wake of last month's elementary school shooting in Newtown, Conn., the Gannett-owned Journal News published interactive maps showing the names and addresses of pistol permit holders in New York's Westchester and Rockland counties. Conservatives and gun rights advocates publicly protested the paper's move; on Monday, the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association called for a nationwide boycott of the paper's advertisers, calling it a wanton act that has put in harm's way tens of thousands of lawful license holders."
The Journal News continues to host the map on its website and has said that it will soon add a map listing all pistol permit holders in Putnam County.
According to the Clarkstown Police report, filed today, Journal News editor Caryn McBride had "previously reported a large amount of negative correspondence in response to the media outlet's publication of local gun permit holders." McBride shared one email with the police officer from "an unknown subject who wondered what McBride would get in her email now." The officer told McBride the email did not constitute an offense.
The Rockland County Times, a Journal News competitor, led its exclusive report citing the juxtaposition of targeting gun ownership while hiring armed guards.
"Guns are good for the goose but NOT for the gander," Dylan Skriloff, the Rockland County Times' associate publisher & editor-in-chief wrote.
"Politics is the Art of Looking for Trouble, Finding it Everywhere, Diagnosing it Incorrectly, and Applying the Wrong Remedies"
Hypocracy at it's finest.
2015 Goals:
1) Win the next game.
2) See goal #1

hello jacce i hope you liked my page yugioh-naruto.wikia.com and i hope you will leave some comments and naruto pedia is the best and im new here so i dont know what to do.—This unsigned comment was made by Theasllan1 (talk • contribs) .
Obito's infobox
Why exactly did you protect his infobox? Infoboxes cannot be edited by unregistered users. Protecting it only makes sense if you want to keep registered users from doing it. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:13, October 11, 2012 (UTC)
Re: Javascript help
Just notifying you that I changed AjaxUndo → AjaxRollback. Hope that comes handy.~ 03:43, October 11, 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah...it was having some problems due to the upgrade so I removed it.~ 16:30, October 11, 2012 (UTC)
- Re-added. It will turn the normal rollback to an Ajax one; not give you a new button.~ 09:39, October 12, 2012 (UTC)

English message translations
Jacce, please ignore any requests for changing the spelling of MediaWiki: messages. Even if the wiki is using UK English -- and the rationales for using that look dubious -- that is not the proper way to change the wiki's locale. ~ Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (Local Talk ⁝ Animanga Talk) 05:08, October 28, 2012 (UTC)
Re: Image rationale.
Thanks for the link, it helps, now I have one question, how do I add the rationale? Do I need to reupload the images? I'll be honest working with these things was never my strong suit, I prefer to have an example to work off cause the templates just look like jargon on top of jargon without the context for me. --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 05:49, October 29, 2012 (UTC)
Nevermind, Nix that, I found it. We're cool. --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 05:51, October 29, 2012 (UTC)
Hi Jacce and how are you? I have a question. how can I create a new article on my userpage just like sandboxs or requests for admins for example. Explain the procedure. Thanks —Shakhmoot (Talk) 12:36, October 30, 2012 (UTC)
- Just go to the subpage you'd want to create (example: User:Shakhmoot/Sandbox) and create the page.— UltimateSupreme ƒ(♫) 13:02 UTC, Tuesday, 30 October 2012

Image licenses
From MediaWiki:Licenses remove everything that is below Fair use (including this). Our new rationale template adds it automatically.— UltimateSupreme ƒ(♫) 03:07 UTC, Sunday, 18 November 2012

it's so funny when you make tobi page, and then be obito page haha!, you make madara page too! are you need help jacce?? Eddy wijaya (talk) 11:50, December 3, 2012 (UTC)
This should do it:
user_age = 0 & action == "edit" & article_articleid = 0 & lcase(article_text) rlike "(\?$|^wh[aeioy]([rl]\S)?\s|how)"
This would prevent creation of pages starting with 'wh' or 'how' or ending in a '?' I would recommend keeping it on tag and warn mode and btw if you want I can create a nice warning message tomorrow.— UltimateSupreme ƒ(♫) 17:51 UTC, Tuesday, 4 December 2012
Just open this up in edit mode and copy the source:
Warning: An automated filter has identified this edit as potentially unconstructive. This is Narutopedia, not Naruto Answers Wiki.
That should suffice.— UltimateSupreme ƒ(♫) 01:06 UTC, Wednesday, 5 December 2012

I think you can use the shouting one on our w:c:naruto.answers wiki.— UltimateSupreme ƒ(♫) 09:26 UTC, Sunday, 9 December 2012
Does that work as intended O.o?— UltimateSupreme ƒ(♫) 10:40 UTC, Sunday, 9 December 2012
Yup, I know that. It was made to work only in the main namespace i.e. on articles. Add talkpages to the rules.— UltimateSupreme ƒ(♫) 12:40 UTC, Sunday, 9 December 2012
You have made the filter hidden. So I can't see whats inside there... Try this:
(article_namespace == 0 | article_namespace == 1 | article_namespace == 2 | article_namespace == 3 | article_namespace == 4 | article_namespace == 5 | article_namespace == 13 | article_namespace == 15 | article_namespace == 110 | article_namespace == 500 | article_namespace == 501) &length(added_lines) > 1 & !"#REDIRECT" in added_lines & added_lines rlike "^[A-Z0-9\s\pP]*?[A-Z]{5}[A-Z0-9\s\pP]*$" & !added_lines rlike "__(NOEDIT|NEW)SECTION__" & !added_lines rlike "__(NO|FORCE)?TOC__"— UltimateSupreme ƒ(♫) 13:08 UTC, Sunday, 9 December 2012
I ll see what I can do. Btw, you can use this to test the filter.— UltimateSupreme ƒ(♫) 14:58 UTC, Sunday, 9 December 2012
added_lines rlike "^[A-Z0-9\s]+$" & !( added_lines rlike "^[a-z0-9\s]+$")instead.— UltimateSupreme ƒ(♫) 16:30 UTC, Sunday, 9 December 2012

En Español (Spanish Version) More InDepth Information on This Condition
Definition | Causes | Risk Factors | Symptoms | Diagnosis | Treatment | Prevention
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease. It causes pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of function in the joints.
© 2011 Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
RA is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors that trigger an abnormal immune response. Possible causes include:
RA is more common in women, and in people between the ages of 30 and 60. Other factors that may increase your chance of developing RA include:
RA causes many symptoms.
Joint symptoms include:
RA may also cause:
Conditions associated with RA include:
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. To be diagnosed with RA, you must have at least one swollen or tender joint or a history of a swollen joint. How many joints, and which joints are involved, will help aid your doctor in the diagnosis. The doctor will also rule out other conditions that may have similar symptoms.
Tests may include:
There is no cure for RA. The goals of treatment are to:
There are a variety of medications to treat the pain and inflammation of RA. In some cases, medications may be used in combination. These may include:
Medication may be taken by mouth, applied to the skin, or injected into the joint.
Rest reduces active joint inflammation and pain and fights fatigue. Exercise is important for maintaining muscle strength and flexibility. It also preserves joint mobility.
These steps may help relieve stiffness, weakness, and reduce inflammation:
Splints applied to painful joints may reduce pain. Devices that help with daily activities can also reduce stress on joints. Devices include:
Stress reduction can ease the difficulties of living with a chronic, painful disease. Participating in an exercise program or joining a support group are two strategies you can use to reduce stress. Cognitive behavioral therapy , a form of talk therapy, and meditation may also offer benefits in reducing your pain and improving your ability to cope with RA.
Joint replacement and tendon reconstruction help relieve severe joint damage.
There are no current guidelines to prevent RA.

"I loved everything about this gift tag! Looked great on clear cellophane goodie bags for my son's Star Wars themed birthday party."
"We are so very happy with this birthday card. My son wanted a Star Wars theme for his birthday and, of course, TP had something for the occasion that was right up his Star Wars alley and right up my elegant and adorable alley. We were thrilled with the cards options - photo/no photo, age, font selection, etc, as it allowed us to create the perfect card for our occasion and as always the card quality was wonderful. Almost every single RSVP we received mentioned what a great invitation we sent out - so it definitely didn't go unnoticed. This invitation was a hit all around; parents, recipients and, most importantly, my son all loved it - definitely a 5 star card!"
"I used these on the Valentine's my daughter took to school for her friends. They were great. I sealed all her little gift bags with the sticker. It made things so easy and adorable. They are darling!"
"Stickers are super cute! I've been using Tiny Prints for many years now and they never disappoint. I got it super quick and even a Thank you card from Troy. :)"
"Love these for my space obsessed son. Would have liked an option to put "To ____" and then "From ____" instead of just a single name. Great nonetheless."

I own 3. (non-open box).. told parents about this last deal on the open box.

I got an open box Logitech Squeezebox last year. The retail box it came in was in pretty rough shape but the Squeezebox itself was like new. I really love this thing & listen to it daily.
I bought this same openbox radio a few months ago. No complaints, looks new, works great. The only thing wrong was the printed documentation was missing, but can be found online.

A Pokémon Professor (Japanese: ポケモン博士 Pokémon Expert) is a veritable expert on the Pokémon World. They are notable for giving rookie Trainers their Starter Pokémon. Coincidentally, all of the Professors from the main-stream Pokémon series are named after a plant: Oak, Elm, Ivy, Birch, Rowan, and Juniper. The Professors are also responsible for the distribution of the Pokédex.
[show]List of Pokémon Professors
- Professor Samuel Oak, whom heralds from the Kanto region. His specialty is the study of the relationships between people and Pokémon.
- Professor Elm, whom heralds from the Johto region. His specialty is the study of breeding patterns and interactions between Pokémon.

- Cedric Juniper, a former Pokémon Professor and father of Professor Juniper.
Anime Only
In the series' extensive medium, there are a variety of Pokémon Professors, many of which stem from the Pokémon anime. This is a comprehensive list of such professors, whose role is limited to being in the anime only.
- Professor Fuji created the genetic clone of Mewtwo on New Island.
- Professor Lund, the foremost expert in terms of Deoxys.
- Dr. Akihabara, credited with creating the Pokemon Transfer System and discovering the cyber-species of Porygon.

By Mary Lou
from san antonio,tx
We liked it however great grand son measures too long for the product. Had to return it. He is 18 months old and I also felt that he could remove the battery if he felt like it. If we could have kept it would have to find a way to prohibit him from removing the battery. Guess he was too big & smart for it, thanks, mlb

OR10AD1, ID (OR10AD1, OR10AD1P, Olfactory receptor 10AD1, Olfactory receptor OR12-1) |
Description: Olfactory receptors interact with odorant molecules in the nose, to initiate a neuronal response that triggers the perception of a smell. The olfactory receptor proteins are members of a large family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) arising from single coding-exon genes. Olfactory receptors share a 7-transmembrane domain structure with many neurotransmitter and hormone receptors and are responsible for the recognition and G protein-mediated transduction of odorant signals. The olfactory receptor gene family is the largest in the genome. The nomenclature assigned to the olfactory receptor genes and proteins for this organism is independent of other organisms. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot, ELISA Recommended Dilution: ELISA: 1:1,000 Western Blot: 1:100-500 Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. |

NEW ASHFORD, Mass. — A two-car motor vehicle accident led Police to close a section of Route 7 for nearly two hours Monday morning.
The accident occurred 4 miles south of the Five Corners at about 7 a.m.
State police said both drivers of the vehicles were transported to Berkshire Medical Center in Pittsfield with "nonlifethreatening injuries." Names were not available, but the crash involved a 22-year-old man from Agawam driving a 1997 Saturn coupe and a 59-year-old Williamstown driving a BMW sedan. Both drivers were entrapped in their vehicles and had to be removed using the Jaws of Life, according to state police. There no other passengers in either car. Williamstown and Lanesborough police assisted with traffic; New Ashford and Williamstown fire departments responded to the scene. The state police Collision Analysis & Reconstruction Section (CARS) was called to assist with the investigation. Traffic was being rerouted to Route 43 from Lanesborough to Williamstown from about 7:30 a.m. until about 9:30 a.m.
Lanesborough Police were redirecting traffic at the intersection of Route 7 and Brodie Mountain Road. Emergency responders from Lanesborough and Cheshire also were reportedly on scene.
No further information was available but the investigation is continuing by state police from the Cheshire barracks. Any charges would be filed after the investigation is complete, said police.
Update: Frank C. Burgmaster, 52, died Wednesday of injuries sustained in the accident.
NEW ASHFORD, Mass. — A Williamstown man will be charged with driving under the influence for the third time after his pickup truck collided head-on with another truck late Tuesday afternoon on Route 7. According to state police, Frank C. Burgmaster, 52, was headed northbound in a 1996 black Dodge Ram when he crossed the center line near Roys Road on the New Ashford Road just after 5 p.m., nearly hitting another car.
That driver was able to avoid a collision, but Burgmaster then plowed head-on into a 2009 red Toyota Tacoma driven by Savita Wheat, 22, of Pownal, Vt. Both vehicles ended up on the center line and both drivers were transported to Berkshire Medical Center in Pittsfield. Burgmaster's injuries were described as serious. Police, fire and two ambulances responded to the scene. Cars were forced to turn around at the scene and diverted to Route 43 for more than an hour until the scene was cleared. Burgmaster will be summonsed to face charges of driving under the influence of alcohol, third offense, negligent operation of a motor vehicle and marked lanes violation. Updated and rewritten throughout, 8:58 p.m.

An ongoing series of articles on songs & performances of the early Grateful Dead.
September 7, 2010
The Velvets and the Dead
The story isn't so simple, though. In some strange ways, the two bands were like flip sides to each other. As Richie Unterberger says, "Both were once known as the Warlocks; both have made their music heavily associated with the ingestion of drugs; and both were prone to performing lengthy improvisations onstage that are comparable to those of few other bands."
Lou Reed:
"Once when we were playing on a bill with the Grateful Dead, some reporter from the Daily News asked me what was the difference between us and the Dead. With a perfectly straight face, I told him, 'The difference is that they take the kids backstage and turn them on – but we shoot 'em up!' Don't you know, he actually believed me and printed that."
Despite a totally different style and sensibility, their musical approach is closer than seems obvious at first. The Velvets were consistent in using songs as jumping-off places for extended improvs – Lou Reed was as much a fan of Coltrane and jazz horn players as the Dead were, though he favored the noisy 'skronk' style of Ornette Coleman & Albert Ayler. "When I started out I was inspired by people like Ornette Coleman. He was always a great influence." He's said that 'European Son' was his way of imitating Coleman with guitars.
Reed: "I had been listening to a lot of Cecil Taylor and Ornette Coleman, and wanted to get something like that with a rock & roll feeling. And I think we were successful, but I also think we carried that about as far as we could, for our abilities as a basically rock & roll band. Later we continued to play that kind of music, and I was really experimenting a lot with guitar, but most of the audiences in the clubs just weren't receptive to it at all."
(The Dead's admiration of Ornette was a quiet one, but acknowledged when he played with them in the '90s. Garcia said after working on one of Coleman's albums, "When I hear his playing, I hear something that I always wish would be in mine – a kind of joy and beauty.")
Both bands liked to take simple modal patterns of one or two chords and spin them out into long jams, though they took these in different directions. Both the Velvets and the Dead were innovators in using feedback as a meaningful musical statement (of course they weren't alone - the Who and Hendrix among others were doing the same – feedback was an exciting new thing in those days). If you've heard the Velvets' early soundtracks for Warhol films, they're freaky ambient noise not far removed from the Dead's later 'spaces'.
The Velvets were one of few rock bands I know of to do half-hour freeform improvisations in 1966. Rock music was stretching out and solos were getting wilder, but not many instrumentals had gone to such monstrous lengths yet. (The list of 20-minute live rock jams is a short one that year – there's Moby Grape, 'Dark Magic' – Butterfield Blues Band, 'East/West' – Pink Floyd, 'Interstellar Overdrive' – readers can probably think of a few more.)
Improvisation is very much a live art, though, and was frowned upon in studio recordings of the time - as was any tune longer than three minutes. (A couple rare instances of rock album tracks over ten minutes in '66 are Love's 'Revelations', the Stones' 'Goin' Home', and the Blues Project's 'Two Trains Running'. Even on Cream's first album, the longest track is six minutes!) As a result, there are many bands who were known for their exciting long jams onstage (like, later on in the '60s, Buffalo Springfield or Fairport Convention), who confined themselves to short pop material on their records – their live sound was never caught on tape. So people were probably hearing more live jamming in '66 than we can recover today.
One recommended Velvets show is from October '66, a complete two-hour show (in poor sound, as usual) where they play no less than TWO half-hour improvs (called "The Nothing Song" and "Melody Laughter"), which don't sound quite like anything else. (Nico moans over the music, kind of like Donna...)
Then by '68, with Sister Ray they had a piece that could be transformed into something different each time they played it, and they were happy to stretch it out to thirty, forty minutes or more. There's one famous show from April '68 where just the INTRO to Sister Ray is a forty-minute quiet trance drone!
Other songs could sprout ten-minute guitar solos as well, depending on the band's mood; long jams would develop in the sets and then disappear. (One example is the otherwise unheard, rambling 'Follow the Leader' on the Quine Tapes set.) And practically none of these were recorded by the band – just a few instances were captured by audience tapers.
And while the Dead had Phil Lesh to give them that avant-garde dissonant edge (especially apparent on Anthem), the early Velvets had John Cale who brought a quite different avant-garde slant from his previous noise/drone experiments. In much the same way as Lesh came to the Dead fresh from absorbing Luciano Berio and Stockhausen, John Cale had studied with LaMonte Young and brought that strong influence into their music. There's a 1965 recording from the Dream Syndicate (with Young & Tony Conrad) which is just ONE NOTE (on two or three violas) sustained for about a half-hour. Now that's a serious drone! (Cale has also released a 3-CD set of some of the noise/minimalist experiments he was doing in the '60s outside the Velvets.)
One thing about the Dead's music is that they did not like repetition too much in the jams - the music is always busy, restless. Lesh is not one to be pinned down to a single bassline for too long – and Garcia will often find some beautiful phrase, repeat it a couple times....and then drop it to do something else, never to be heard again. So, in spite of the Indian music they liked, we almost never get drones in their jams or 'trance Dead'.
The Velvets, of course, were sworn enemies of the Dead's music.
In '71 Maureen Tucker called the Dead the most boring band she'd ever heard. Sterling Morrison also loathed them, and despised San Francisco music in general. (But he did make an exception for Quicksilver Messenger Service, saying they sounded great and John Cipollina was a really good guitar player.) Lou Reed also had harsh things to say (although he did like the first Moby Grape album; and they were fans of LA bands Buffalo Springfield and the Byrds.)
Reed and Doug Yule, in a 1970 interview:
LOU: We had vast objections to the whole San Francisco scene. It's just tedious, a lie, and untalented. They can't play and they certainly can't write. The Airplane, the Dead, all of them...
DOUG: They lose track of where the music comes from - they start thinking it instead of playing it. Especially the Dead. Now I saw the Dead when they just started, and they were a bunch of scuzzy kids just having a ball playing rock & roll - they were a lot of fun. But then they started thinking about what they were doing too much.
LOU: I can get off understanding the kick it was to play Lovelight.... But they're amateur...they can't play. Jerry's not a good guitar player. It's a joke, and the Airplane is even worse, if that's possible.
DOUG: Jerry, he'll play the same solo for a half hour, but if he'd done it for just two minutes....he plays the same notes over and over again.
LOU: You listen to the Beatles, or you listen to 'Gimme Shelter' by the Stones, and Keith isn't playing many notes, but the notes he's playing are so thought out, so perfect...
Q: But don't you think a lot of people get off on something like the Dead because it's so loose?
LOU: It's what people are settling for....they're getting third-hand blues. It's a fad.... People like Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, all those people are the most untalented bores that have ever lived. Just look at them - can you take Grace Slick seriously? It's a joke. And the whole thing is, the kids are being hyped this on FM radio. Well, now finally it's dead, the whole San Francisco thing is dead.
The Velvets had first come to San Francisco in May '66 - they played the Fillmore with the Mothers of Invention, and developed an instant mutual dislike for Bill Graham. (They also hated Frank Zappa – Lou Reed later called Zappa "the single most untalented person I've heard in my life – he's two-bit, pretentious, academic, and he can't play his way out of anything. He can't play rock & roll." Reportedly Reed also hated the Jefferson Airplane's music so much that he refused to share a bill with them.)
Cale admitted that on this first San Francisco trip, "No one liked us much." Audiences met them with bewilderment – one witness remembers, "they had this weird stuff onstage with some chick getting whipped, and I went, 'Oh wow, this is music?'" Ralph Gleason wrote a very hostile review of their 'sick, campy, dull, joyless, non-artistic' show – "a bad condensation of all the bum trips of the Trips Festival… Opening night was really crowded, even though hippies were continually walking out shaking their heads and saying 'Wow!' in wonder that such a bore could be."
The Velvets ended a Fillmore show by putting their guitars against the amps and letting the feedback howl as they left the stage. Bill Graham couldn't stand this, or the rest of their stage act – he called them perverted, sickening, and negative, "the worst piece of entertainment I've ever seen in my life" - and they all agreed that the Velvets would never play any Fillmore show again. (The police in Los Angeles that month also found the Velvets' show so offensive they shut down the club they were playing in!)
The Velvets later believed that Bill Graham had even stolen the idea of their light show – they found the Fillmore's current light-shows laughable. Doug Yule said this was "one of Sterling's rants…they felt that when they showed up with the Exploding Plastic Inevitable, that Graham was doing kindergarten-level light shows, and they opened his eyes and then he ripped 'em off, took all their ideas and put that out as his own."
In any case, the Velvets didn't return to California for two years. As Sterling said in his usual manner, "We left California alone for two years, because they're so determined to do their own thing, their own San Francisco music. We were just rocking the boat – they don't want to know about that. 'There's only one music, and we all know what that is…it's what the Grateful Dead play. That's the very best rock & roll can ever get…' We said, 'You're full of shit, your city, your state, and everything else.'"
But they did come back. In fact, in '68/69, they played San Francisco more often than anywhere else except for Boston, playing numerous shows at the Avalon, Family Dog, and Matrix. One reason was that by then, the audience had caught up with them, and loud hard rock was the order of the day, so the Velvets were now well-received by enthusiastic fans. Peter Abrams liked them enough to record hours of their Matrix performances ("I wanted to get as many recordings of them as I could"), and Robert Quine was one fan who'd recently discovered the Velvets and also taped as many shows as he could. (Both of them, though, had to erase most of their recordings and keep only highlight reels, since they couldn't afford all that tape.) But ironically, most of the Velvets' live releases come from San Francisco!
One audience member saw a show with the Velvets and Quicksilver Messenger Service in '68, and noted the Velvets' "depressing drug-type songs, very heavy, very dark, very heroin, with a dangerous underground feel…while Quicksilver was light and color and acid and mind-wandering."
Some California newspaper reviewers tried to describe the Velvets' sound in their shows:
"The band makes a sound that can only be compared to a railroad shunting yard, metal wheels screeching to a halt on the tracks. It's music to go out of your mind to."
"In the middle of Sister Ray, they created this harmonic that sounded like the roof of the building was cracking open! It was just wild; it went on for a long time. It was really the ultimate in trance music, even beyond what La Monte Young was doing, because it was so loud and there were so many instruments."
"The Underground played an extremely involving two-hour set which completely destroyed the audience, left limp at its conclusion. The music was earthy with a heavy beat and moderate use of electronics and feedback. The sound it created was all-enveloping. Catharsis was particularly strong in Heroin and the 45-minute concluding number, which included electronic viola and organ as well as the guitars…they're a heavy group."
Doug Yule admits, "I don't think I've ever heard a recording that gives you the feeling that the group put out live. It was a locomotive."
The Velvets and the Dead played together a couple times in 1969.
One remarkable night at the Stanley Theater in Pittsburgh, February 7, the Fugs, the Velvets, and the Dead all played. One newspaper reviewer wrote, "Such a collection of freaks could hardly lead anywhere but up. The Velvet Underground…opened up the festivities with Heroin, one of their religious songs." The Dead offered two typically intense hard-jamming sets.
They shared a bill again just a couple months later, at Chicago's Electric Theater, April 25 & 26. (Detroit band SRC was the third band on the bill.) By then, the Dead's live approach was much sloppier, with many new songs in the set.
It's commonly believed among Dead fans that on the 25th, the Velvets opened and played a very long set, leaving the Dead only a short time to play. In revenge, when they switched and the Dead opened on the 26th, the Dead played for almost three hours, making the Velvets wait through their 40-minute wall-of-feedback encore.
This story is wrong, though! If you listen to the end of the Dead's short set on the 25th, it's clear that they were the opening act that night – when the audience cries for more, Weir says, "We're gonna come back and do a second set in a little while, and we're gonna bring on two other real good bands, and they'll blow your minds anyway; so we'll be back in just a short while." (Which obviously raises the question, is there a whole second set from April 25 that we've never heard?)
Doug Yule reports that the first night "the Dead opened for us – we opened for them the next night so that no one could say they were the openers. As you know, the Grateful Dead play very long sets, and they were supposed to only play for an hour. We were up in the dressing room and they were playing for an hour and a half, an hour and 45 minutes. So the next day when we were opening for them, Lou says, 'Watch this.' We did Sister Ray for like an hour, and then a whole other show."
(The entire tape we have of April 25, though, is only about an hour, and it sounds like the complete set. Did the Dead really open the show with two sets in a row? Or perhaps the Velvets found the Dead so awful their set just seemed to last forever!)
Apparently the theater had no time restrictions, so the Dead seem to have been encouraged by the Velvets' long noisy set on the 26th to play for even longer! My theory is that listening to that long Sister Ray is what gave them the idea to close with a huge Viola Lee going into fifteen minutes of feedback mixed with What's Become Of The Baby….they certainly didn't do anything like this at any other '69 shows!
One audience member says of this famous show, "I believe the Velvet Underground played first…then the Grateful Dead came out and played til about 2 or 3 in the morning. And literally, the only people left in attendance when the Dead were through playing were people that were laying on the floor. Eighty percent of the crowd had gone, and the Dead just kept on playing." (What he doesn't mention is that he must have lingered through the whole show, too! At one point he tried to talk to Owsley by the soundboard, but "the whole thing was up so loud that we couldn't hear each other. We just looked at each other and shrugged.")
It's not known whether Bear taped the Velvets' shows. But even if he did – between Bear hanging for life onto his journal tapes and never authorizing releases, and the Velvets also refusing to release any more live shows, we'd probably never hear them.
I'll conclude with a quote from this interesting book review:
"When you look at the state of both bands at their founding moments in 1965-66, you find that the Velvet Underground and the Grateful Dead started out, in an odd way, as basically the same band. In fact, both bands started with the same name in 1965: the Warlocks. And both were quickly taken up by other cultural movements and artists from other genres to furnish 'house bands' for collective projects.
On the West Coast, Ken Kesey hired the Dead to provide music for his acid tests... The Palo Alto acid test, the first to involve a real stage, took place in December 1965… In New York, meanwhile, Warhol took up the Velvets as a vehicle for his Factory events and a featured role in the Exploding Plastic Inevitable, which had various incarnations between January 1966 and its first broad public invitation in April, each of which also involved some combination of Warhol's dancing fools, slide-projector gels, light shows, silent films and chaos. (Warhol took first billing in all advertisements, above the Velvets, though presumably he just stood around and watched.)
Both bands' music depended on a tight association with drugs – LSD for the Dead, heroin for the Velvets (plus amphetamines) – but the musicians drew fewer distinctions in their personal lives...
Each band's early development was paid for by benefactors from the scenes of communal presentation: the Velvets had Warhol; the Dead had Owsley Stanley, supplier of LSD for the acid tests…
Like the Grateful Dead, the Velvet Underground started out as a platform for extremely long, wandering, repetitive live improvisations, appropriate to multimedia events…. The Velvets' principals insist in interviews that they were far better as a live band than in anything captured on record… Morrison, Reed and Tucker all complained about the failure to capture their live work… The Dead cultivated a 'taping' culture of audiophiles who recorded each and every performance…and, at the far extreme, created a unique audience of people willing to listen to forty performances of 'Dark Star' to find the passages of improvisational transcendence in each… Imagine that there could have been an alternate world in which people would have listened to forty versions of 'Sister Ray' for similar moments of transcendence, or to thirty-minute improvisations like 'Melody Laughter'…made up of feedback, guitar, organ and vocals from Nico. But the Velvets had few tapers...
Both bands originally imagined themselves as the 'Warlocks' essentially because each had a vision of enchantment, underlaid with darkness. (They both had to choose a different name because it turned out that a third band had already put out a record as the Warlocks.) Cale says that the 'aim of the band on the whole was to hypnotise audiences so that their subconscious would take over… It was an attempt to control the unconscious with the hypnotic.' This accounts for the drone, and the songs built on long vamps of two chords… 'We thought that the solution lay in providing hard drugs for everyone,' Cale said, but 'there is already a very strong psychedelic element in sustained sound, which is what we had … so we thought that putting viola [drones] behind guitars and echo was one way of creating this enormous space … which was itself a psychedelic experience.'
While both groups initially aimed to hypnotise with their music, lyrically they were worlds apart."

Bravo ! LiA you have made me happy , happy , happy .
I agree that in many odd and 'circumstantial' ways "... the two bands are flip sides of each other . "
Two of the sources from which all modern American music flows . Add your particular necessity here ____ .
A difference b/t GD and VU was this by Cale , " It was an attempt to control the unconscious with the hypnotic . "
One of the aspects most admired by me was Garcia's respect for the audience and not to use the microphone outside of singing . That fascist thingy . It was not about control but release , though at times to a hard place .
I did not want to hear them talk. Play !
And man, woman and child did they .
Totally different feel with VU . They talked all the time . From The Quine Tapes , Reed is introducing Femme Fatale with these endearing words for Edie Sedgwick who was still alive , though two years from her death .
" So anyways she paid for it 'cause she got put away . She got put away when she came out here ( CAL ) too . So maybe it had nuthin' to do with environment . So this is a song about her . As Andy said , why don't you write a song about Edie . So we did . It's called Femme Fatale . Edie's a superstar . Was a superstar . "
Vu dealt with subject matter that GD never did and in such a direct way . Both bands had songs about suicide but China Doll is hidden in Hunter's imagery , while the epic Heroin is clear on the matter . Sadomasochism , frank / explicit sexuality , hatred , anger , powdery drugs/syringes were some of the ingredients in the VU stew pot . They were not unclear about what the song was about . In that context I can see LR's point .

Thanks for posting this insightful essay. I've got nothing against the Velvets or Lou Reed, but to read things like:
"But they're amateur...they can't play. Jerry's not a good guitar player. It's a joke, and the Airplane is even worse, if that's possible."
is kind of laughable. I mean, come on, if even your 45 minute one note drones are out of tune, you might want to refrain criticizing other musicians.
Excellent blog, and thank you for sharing with us! - AnonymousApril 24, 2011 at 8:11 PM

Here you get Lou Reed "inducting" Zappa and making it sound like they were great chums!Replies- AnonymousAugust 9, 2012 at 3:26 PM
Amen. My thoughts exactly. I remember watching this and thinking "Lou Reed is the last person to induct Zappa"
Delete - AnonymousApril 22, 2014 at 6:57 PM
I agree with both of you. I've met Lou and honestly, he never deserved any praise from anybody after all that he said about other musicians. Only non-musicians make comments like that.
Delete The Dead-dissing quote by Lou is from 1970/71 for God's sake. People evolve, musicians in particular evolve considerably. Also, the VU was probably speaking pridefully so soon after having been shunned by the San Francisco scene despite a better reception their second stint there (68/69). I can appreciate and respect Lou Reed's evolving perspective on Frank Zappa and growing out of his youthful dismissiveness of other artists.
Hello, I'm not sure I mentioned this here before, but I put together a two-part video about comparing/contrasting The Velvets and Dead.
And I quote (and credit!) this blog at the end of one of the videos.
Hope you enjoy them:
http://wheresthatsoundcomingfrom.blogspot.com/2012/01/warlock-east-warlock-west-well-hello.htmlFrom another article on the Dead:
"The Dead seemed more like a group of ex-folkies just dabbling in distortion (as their albums eventually bore out)," proto-punk critic Lester Bangs wrote in Creem in 1970. "It seems likely that The Velvet Underground were definitely eclipsing the Dead from the start when it came to a new experimental music," he declared, delineating an early branching point in how rock would develop after the '60s.
Where both Lou Reed's Velvets and the Dead took Bob Dylan as a primary influence, the Velvets loosened it into drone-punk and the Dead tightened it into dance music.
http://www.jambands.com/news/2011/08/01/indie-rockers-celebrate-jerry-garcia-on-jerry-dayI found the full Lester Bangs article on the Stooges, where he goes into a little history of free noise in rock:
"Rumblings were beginning to be heard almost simultaneously on both coasts: Ken Kesey embarked the acid tests with the Grateful Dead in Frisco, and Andy Warhol left New York to tour the nation with his Exploding Plastic Inevitable shock show...and the Velvet Underground. Both groups on both coasts claimed to be utilizing the possibilities of feedback and distortion, and both claimed to be the avatars of the psychedelic multimedia trend. Who got the jump on who between Kesey and Warhol is insignificant, but it seems likely that the Velvet Underground were definitely eclipsing the Dead from the start when it came to a new experimental music. The Velvets, for all the seeming crudity of their music, were interested in the possibilities of noise right from the start, and had John Cale's extensive conservatory training to help shape their experiments, while the Dead seemed more like a group of ex-folkies just dabbling in distortion (as their albums eventually bore out)."
While Bangs was a fan of the simple & noisy (hence, not a likely admirer of the Dead), it should be noted that he wrote a surprisingly positive review of their 1971 live album.
He did like Airplane's album After Bathing at Baxter's somewhat, but thought Anthem of the Sun was crap. He probably liked the Airplane more since they rocked harder & had a heavier sound...I think it's extremely difficult for people to really remember exactly what was what and who was who and how it all felt and seemed in 1966 thru 1969. Things were evolving at a frantic pace and where it was by 1970 was far different from '66. The places the various players ended up vastly colors how people view those times.
I was not particularly aware of the details of their relationship in the early days but for years I really thought the GD should have covered "Rock and Roll" with Bob doing the vocals.- AnonymousOctober 14, 2012 at 5:32 PM
Per Wikipedia, TAWOTWS was from 1972. Shakedown stream had a podcast that featured incomplete sets that had a jam with playing that sounds like what became "Franklin's Tower.". I think it dated from 1970 or 1971, maybe from a NY show?
ReplyDelete - AnonymousOctober 16, 2012 at 11:31 AM
It was 5/6/70 MIT that had a brief passage that sounded (to me at least) like Franklin's.
ReplyDelete - jerlouvisMay 21, 2013 at 4:58 PM
I was wondering if anymore information has surfaced on Owsley taping those Chicago Velvet Underground shows.They would probably be some of the highest quality recordings of the VU's live performances.If there are any tapes I would hope that whoever handles Owsley's affairs would see fit to turn the tapes over to Lou and Maureen and let them sort it out.
ReplyDeleteRepliesI've heard nothing more about the Owsley tapes. However, if there are Velvets shows within, they couldn't be released without the permission & financial control of Lou & co./Universal, who are not likely to give the Owsley family label any rights. So turning over the tapes may be the only option, but I don't think it would result in release, at least within Lou's lifetime. The Velvets Bootleg Series vol. 1 got released 12 years ago, and there's no indication that there will ever be a vol. 2.
Per wikipedia, "A studio demo of the unreleased track "Miss Joanie Lee" had been planned for inclusion on the [2002 first album deluxe edition], but a dispute over royalties between the band and Universal canceled these plans. This contractual dispute apparently also led to the cancellation of further installments of the band's official Bootleg Series."
However, the inclusion of rehearsal tracks and a full 1966 show on last year's deluxe box set suggests that maybe the financial disputes have been resolved. I'm not holding my breath for more live releases, though.
The only reason we got the Gymnasium '67 show was because it was leaked from Cale's tape (perhaps he made a copy for someone that slipped out) - supposedly that was meant to be vol. 2. There's no telling what other tapes Cale may have; maybe boxes full. There are 4-track SBD tapes of the Velvets' Nov '69 Matrix shows (largely duplicated by the lesser-quality "Live 1969" album and Quine's tapes), but they're in limbo since the owner would neither give them to Universal nor put them into 'unoffical' circulation, though a short sampler tape came out. And so it goes...
Live Velvet Underground fans dwell in their own particular hell!By the way, a few tracks from the Matrix sampler are on youtube -
Peter Abram (Matrix owner/taper) spoke with Richie Unterberger about his 4 hours of tapes in the White Light book (p.259). I think Abram also has numerous tapes of various bands at the Matrix through the late '60s, few of which have been released. (I think the Doors are the only band that've had Matrix tapes released recently.) It's a distressing situation.

"at least within Lou's lifetime?" well, there's a opening now...
ReplyDeleteRepliesYeah, I thought about that. Maybe Lou's estate will be happier to open the door to more VU releases - time will tell. To some extent, the Bootleg Series seems to have been replaced by the deluxe-editions they've been doing lately, with extra tracks & live shows. (For instance, next month they're releasing a White Light/White Heat deluxe edition with the Gymnasium '67 set and a couple never-heard-before tracks with Cale... They're finally doing this stuff properly! I believe one of the last things Lou did was an interview with Cale for the booklet.)
- jerlouvisNovember 6, 2013 at 10:49 AM
Hope Maureen,Laurie and whoever else is involved is more open to releasing whatever VU material becomes available.
ReplyDelete Picasso could paint a scene exactly as most of us see it, but he chose to paint it with his unique imagination engaged. Miles Davis could have played first trumpet in the world's most snobbish philharmonics, but he created something uniquely his own instead. Then there is Lou Reed, who absolutely could not sing yet sang anyway, basically telling us the ability to hit the note you're looking to hit is vastly overrated.
ReplyDeleteListening to the Gymnasium show on the new White Light/White Heat edition, there is an occasional point of similarity with the Dead's music in 1967, despite the vast difference between the hard-edged Velvets and the gentle Dead - for instance, their use of feedback and distortion. (The Velvets had preceded the Dead in this territory; on the other hand the Dead were already more adept at complex improvisations.) The episode in the 9/3/67 Midnight Hour from about 12-15 minutes, or a Caution>Feedback, is not too far removed from many points in the Gymnasium show's Sister Ray or Gift.
ReplyDeleteEd Sanders' book Fug You recalls his days with the Fugs, and briefly mentions this 1969 show:
"On February 7 we performed with the Velvet Underground and the Grateful Dead at the Stanley Theater in Pittsburgh. We used the Grateful Dead's sound system, and I was determined that the words to Fugs tunes be heard, so I kissed the microphone very closely. There was a party at the Grateful Dead's various rooms at the hotel afterwards, although after a few initial elevators full of partyers, the hotel called a halt to further fans."
I wonder if any of the Velvets joined in the festivities... It's also interesting that the Fugs used the Dead's sound system, which indicates that Owsley would very likely have taped their set (and possibly the Velvets' as well).
From all indications, Owsley generally taped the other bands playing with the Dead that year if he was acting as soundman (for instance, the Flying Burrito Brothers at the April Avalon run, and also the Allmans at the Fillmore East in Feb '70, the only released examples I recall).
One member of the band Amber Whine, which opened for the Dead at the Dream Bowl on Feb. 21-22, has said, "I would like to hear our set. One of my bandmates talked to the guy recording the Dead and said yes the whole show was recorded."RepliesOne Archive reviewer for 2/7/69 also went to the show:
"The opening act was the Velvet Underground (who were great!), followed by the Fugs (who were great!). Paul Krassner was the MC. The light show was overly repetitious. I still can hear because someone near me brought extra cotton balls. The Dead came on last, and, due to our youth (I went with my best friend, and we were both "only' 14), we had to leave before the Dead were finished."
Another comment on setlists.net adds, "The Fugs were hilarious."
(There's another 2/7/69 review by "Duane2" who claims to have met the bands & brought them back to his commune for an acid party & hung out with Pigpen, etc; however his review has so many questionable/false details it looks extremely unreliable, though perhaps based on very hazy "memories.")
One reviewer on dead.net went to the 4/26/69 Electric Theater show, and gives some interesting details:
"Three bands on the bill played an hour (?) each, with two rounds. Velvet Underground was 1st(?), GD 3rd - don't remember who was 2nd... [It was SRC.]
The Dead played their first set - began w/ acoustic AOXOMOXOA.
Not crowded - you could get really close, and I got a good look at the tie-dyed Fender amps, and Phil's Guild bass...
The Dead set was going long, so Lou Reed came out, asked GD to vacate the stage so VU 2nd set could commence.
Pigpen stuck his middle finger in Lou's face, and w/no objection from the crowd, GD continued, ending w/ Lovelight. Electric Theater impresario Aaron Russo came out and yelled "More!" w/the crowd - "There's only one Grateful Dead!"
Jerry asked us what we wanted to hear, and I and another guy yelled "Alligator," but the consensus seemed to be Viola Lee, which they did."
This looks like it may be an accurate account (he remembers the setlist details). As he says, the normal routine was for each band to play about an hour, going round twice in two separate sets, which seems to be what happened on the 25th. It looks like on the 26th though, the Dead just played one long immense set instead, while the opening Velvets (and poor forgotten SRC) waited impatiently for their second turn.
Another dead.net reviewer adds the odd detail (which could be from the 25th), "There was no backstage behind the stage. The band had to step into the crowd to get to their dressing room. I remember walking up to Pigpen and starting to rap with him, but then the Velvets started off and it got so loud and dissonant that Pig looked scared and split for who knows where?"
Judging by Pigpen's reported reaction here, and Doug Yule's account of the Dead forcing the Velvets to wait, there does seem to have been some antagonism between the two bands!

Pediatric Acupuncture
Pediatric Acupuncture is a fine addition to the English language body of Chinese Medicine books. Dr. Loo, who practices both Western and Asian medicine in California, is to be commended for an exciting and stimulating book. Pediatric Acupuncture is not strictly a TCM book and often goes into 5 element theory and aspects of Japanese acupuncture styles. Practitioners may want to invest in a laser, ion pumping chords and a point stimulator after reading this book. It begins with Chinese Medical theory and clear insights into how this applies to children and their particular diseases. Those who are well studied in TCM will find the information familiar yet it is clear enough for those who are approaching the material from the outside. Especially welcome to acupuncturists are her comments about the relationships between the elements/organs, development and emotional states. Dr. Loo easily correlates Western and Asian views and her experience in both approaches shows in this excellent book. If there is a deficit it is that there is little herbal information. Often pediatric acupuncture is seen as an oxymoron, thinking that no child will tolerate the needles. Dr. Loo assures us that this can be done and gives us some amazing photos to prove it. Once again Churchill Livingston has provided a great addition to our ever-growing library of Chinese Medicine books.

Gun shop that sold to mother of Newtown shooter loses license
The agency on Dec. 20 revoked the license of Riverview Gun Sales in East Windsor, Connecticut, ATF spokeswoman Debora Seifert said. The revocation was reported in The Journal News, of Westchester County, New York, on Friday.
"We did revoke their federal firearms license," she said. The agency did not publicly disclose a reason for the closure.
A woman who answered the telephone at Riverview on Friday, and did not give her name, confirmed the store had sold a weapon to Lanza's mother, Nancy, and that its license had been revoked. She declined further comment.
Nancy Lanza was her son's first victim in the Dec. 14 attack. He shot her in their family home before driving to Sandy Hook Elementary School, Newtown, where he gunned down 20 young children and six adults before shooting himself dead.
The weapons Adam Lanza, 20, used in the attack were all legally purchased and registered.

- "Perfect? Chiseled? Handsome? Yeah, I'm the dream ticket."
- ―Mori
Mori Kibbutz (Hebrew: מורי קיבוץ) is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a main character in The Ballad of Gay Tony. Mori is a fitness enthusiast, business entrepreneur and the older brother of Brucie Kibbutz. He believes that he is superior to everyone else, including his brother, who he shames and bullies on a constant basis. He is notably shorter than any other character, and it is strongly suggested (sometimes outrightly stated) that he suffers from a severe Napoleon complex.
Early Life up to 2008
According to Mori, he joined the Israeli military at age 18, finished after three years when he was 21, and proceeded to be accepted to two Ivy League colleges in which he studied for an MBA (normally a two-to-three year program) and received 4.0s.
He then invested in real estate and other fields, making him quite wealthy. He ridicules Brucie for not doing as well in real estate, mockingly asking him how much he paid for his garage, and how much it is currently worth. He also continued as a fitness enthusiast, having significantly more defined muscle mass than his brother (which he claims he achieved naturally), as well as an obviously fake spray tan.
Mori is one of the many people who lent money to Gay Tony and believes he owns him. Luis Lopez is forced to work with Mori for some time and witnesses his harshness towards his younger brother, who Luis tries to defend, which causes Mori to harass them both, giving Luis a strong dislike towards him. First he helps Mori take care of some dealers down in the Bohan docks.
Tired of Mori's constant bragging, Luis defeats Mori in a high-profile, private vehicle triathlon, gambling the elimination of Tony's debt versus ownership of the club and Luis' services, and the defeated Mori, completely submerged in cocky denial, claims that he wanted Luis to win.
Eventually, after a car theft and drag race the trio commits, Luis encourages Brucie to stand up to Mori, who berates Brucie until he loses his temper and breaks his older brother's nose. Dropping his tough guy persona, Mori breaks down and cries, while Brucie pleads with him not to tell their mother, which he agrees. Later, he is seen in the end credits, sparring with Brucie in the L.C Fight Club without being overly violent towards him.
After The Ballad of Gay Tony
After the game's events, Mori calls Luis with a profound apology for his attitude, saying he has found "enlightenment" and moved to a real Kibbutz (lit. a traditional Jewish community in Israel, based around farming for self-sustenance). However, it is revealed that he has subverted the values of sharing among the commune, calling it "communism" (i.e. of a commune) and seems to be running it for profit, so much as to deny food to an old man until he finishes working. After the call, he is removed from Luis' cell phone.

- Credits
- Mori says that Brucie is hanging out with "immigrant scumbags", referencing his friendships with Roman and Niko Bellic.
- He claims to have a very large penis, calling it "the monster". Interestingly, a tattoo can be seen on his back, which, when translated into traditional Chinese, reads "small penis", contradicting his statement.
- Though his Buffalo's color is, in fact very hard to find in other Buffalo's driven by pedestrians, it is not unique, (see the Gallery below) as Buffalos with that color can be found sometimes between Meadows Park and the Francis International Airport.
