Vinod grew up dreaming of being an entrepreneur. He was raised in an Indian Army household with no business or technology connections. When, at age 16, he first heard about Intel, he dreamt of starting his own technology company. Upon graduating with a Bachelors in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, he tried to start a soy milk company to service the many people in India who did not have refrigerators. He then came to the US and got his Masters in Biomedical Engineering at Carnegie-Mellon University. His startup dreams attracted him to Silicon Valley where he got an MBA at Stanford University in 1980. In 1982, Khosla started Sun Microsystems to build workstations for software developers. At Sun he pioneered "open systems" and RISC processors. Sun was funded by long time friend and board member John Doerr of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers.

Very interesting, the slight change is definitely easier to view and read. I like how you scroll the page under the banner which is attractive but also keeps it accessible at all times.
What about the "personal stuff" like wish list, etc that is normally on the right?

Unofficial Community Mumble server
The first two posts here are a work in progress!
The four images / post limitation is extra fun!
Unofficial RPS Community VOIP
Mumble is a VOIP client like Ventrillo, Teamspeak, Roger Wilco and Mohawk. Unlike the rest, it actually has a working overlay so if you're chatting to strangers you can actually tell them apart. It's also open source and free, which is nice.
On the ArmA 2 dedicated box we have a 100 slot mumble server running. Maximum quality is set to a cap of ~72 Kb/s per user, but may change if we need it to.
Server details
Server Name: RPS Unofficial Mumble Server
Server IP: server.herosquad.org
Port: 64738 (default)
Password: There is currently NO password.
Download Mumble. Yo do NOT need Murmur, as that is the server executable. Run the Mumble installer executable. Follow the prompts. Create a certificate when asked (painless). SET UP PUSH TO TALK. You'll reach a prompt that looks vaguely like Fig. 1A:
Fig. 1: Welcome screen and RPS server details
Click "add new" and fill in the following details per Fig. 1B. You can leave the port blank if it isn't filled in automatically!
Click OK and then attempt to connect to the server by double clicking on your new Rock Paper Shotgun! entry. You'll always be able to find the server easily through your favourites.
Mumble has a good overlay built into it. It's the least crash-inducing one I have ever encountered and blows all of the ones available for Teamspeak 3 etc. completely out of the water. Want to know who is shouting at you? Follow these instructions:
Go to configure, settings and check the box in the bottom left labeled "Advanced". Then select the Overlay tab on the left. At the top of the screen, make sure Enable Overlay is checked. First, go to the Overlay Exceptions tab. I'd recommend putting it on whitelist mode and adding the .exes you wish to use it with manually. Whilst it is exceptionally stable, the overlay can conflict with some systems/games. Fig. 2A illustrates this process.
Fig. 2: Various useful overlay settings
Next you will want to fine-tune the positioning and contents of the overlay. Return to the layout tab and use the red pin to drag the target position of the user list to somewhere convenient. It'll probably take several attempts to get it just right. If you're playing with a large group, you may wish to only show people who are currently speaking. To do this, click on the list of names (not the pin) and go to Filten, then click on "Only talking", per Fig. 2B. Right click the user list again, then go to edit. I like to use the settings shown in Fig. 2C, which removes the black boxes and user icons but leaves the text and mute status intact. Make sure you apply appropriate settings to all of the States! As well as dis/enabling certain display elements, you can click on the ones shown on the screen and drag them around to rearrange things. Finally, before closing the Overlay Editor window, left then right click on the text (e.g. Talking) and go to font. I find that size 20 verdana is nice and clear at 1900 x 1200.
If you find yourself in a subchannel and wish to transmit to people in other subchannels, read this.
Code:Rock Paper Shotgun (Unofficial) VOIP Server +General Chatter +Games }----+ Arma 2 | }---+ Blufor | | }---+ Alpha | | | } Nullkigan | | }---+ Bravo | | | } Bodge | | }---+ Charlie | | } President Weasel | }---+ Opfor | }---+ Alpha | } Joseph }----+ Alien Swarm | } Washington +AFK
Let's say I (in Blufor Alpha) wish to send a message to Bodge (in Blufor Bravo) - perhaps because my squad needs some fire support. I'm happy for President Weasel (in Blufor Charlie) to hear the request, so he can get out of the danger zone, but don't wish to alert Joseph (in Opfor Alpha) because he's the target of the fire mission. I also don't wish to annoy Washington, who is playing an entirely different game (in the Alien Swarm channel).
To do this, go to Configure -> Settings -> Shortcuts. Per Fig. 4A, click the Add button, then click "unassigned" and use the drop-down list to select "Whisper/Shout". Select data. Click the box with the ellipsis (...) inside. Select "Shout to channel", then scroll to the bottom and find the "Parent" entry. Additionally select "whisper to subchannels". Click OK. Select "shortcut" and press the button you wish to use as a shortcut for whispering. Then check the box marked suppress if you wish to prevent other applications from receiving those key presses whilst mumble is running (warning: if you suppress "o" and leave mumble open, your important emails will come out funny!).
Fig. 4: Setting up whisper lists
Now to return to our example, if I hit my whisper key I would transmit to: BluFor (Alpha's parent), Alpha (which I am in), Bravo (a subchannel of BluFor), Charlie, but not Opfor, Opfor's Alpha subchannel, or the Alien Swarm channel.
If I had selected "root" instead of parent, all channels would receive the whisper. If I was in Blufor when I tried this, Alpha/Bravo/Charlie would get the whisper, but so would Arma2 (Blufor's parent), Opfor (including Opfor Alpha/Bravo/Etc), so Joseph would hear me. If I was in Arma2 and tried this, people in Alienswarm and other games would hear me, as the parent would be the games channel, and all games channels are subchannels of it. So only use this type of whisper when in an appropriate subchannel!
Consider the previous example of calling a firemission from another squad, and all other squads on my team being able to hear and react to this. Sometimes this is not desirable; what happens when we have 20+ players who are all shouting at people in other squads? Do I have to listen to that fool in Alpha when I'm just a grunt? The solution is Group Restricted Whispers.
In Fig. 4A there is an option called "Restrict to group". If we enter #mytoken here, only people who satisfy the conditions of the whisper list (i.e. in an appropriate nearby channel) and also have the mytoken access token can hear the whisper. Note that when restricting to group, you need to at a # in front of the token, but you do not need to do this when adding the token to your client to allow you to hear these whispers.
To add an access token, go to Server->Access Tokens->Add at the main screen.
In Arma, we sometimes use an access token of "cc" for Command Circuit chatter. This lets squad leaders and mission commanders communicate without drowning out or annoying fireteam members. Anyone can listen to these messages by adding the cc access token to their client, and removing it prevents you from hearing it. It does need a seperate key for transmissions, but this is easily set up by following the above guide.
(nobody has really asked any of these questions yet)
Q: Do I have to use push to talk?
A: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE USE PUSH TO TALK. Yes, it can be annoying having to press a button, but it's better than having to listen to constant heavy breathing! Be considerate of other users!
Q: Someone is being annoying!
A: Right click on them, select 'local mute'. If they're being truly offensive/abusive, find an admin or name and shame them here.
Q: How do I find an Admin?
A: If it's urgent, you can right click on the root channel (Rock Paper Shotgun (Unofficial) VOIP Server), go to groups, admins, and see a list of people you can bug. Or post in this thread.
Q: I want to hear one person but not the rest of this rabble!
A: Select said person, right click, pick 'priority speaker'. Useful for group leaders.
Q: There are no empty slots to connect to!
A: Unlikely. If this happens, report it and I'll increase the number of slots.
Q: There's no room / too few subchannels for the game I want to play!
A: All users should be able to make temporary channels by right clicking an existing channel (e.g. games) and then going to "Add".
Q: How do I create/use a passworded room?
A: When creating a room there will be an option to specify a password. If a room is created with a password specified, you need to go to Server->Access Tokens, then add the password. You'll then be able to access the room.
Q: I hear strange voices in the night!
A: Someone has set up their whisper lists improperly. See guide below for correct usage (which will transmit to your channel, the parent channel, and other channels on the same level). Otherwise, someone is not in the correct subchannel.
Q: I want admin powers!
A: We have plenty of admins, you shouldn't need them. If there's a real lack of admins when you're using the server, post and I'll reconsider.
Q: What is the AFK channel for?!
A: People who leave their machine on constantly or don't want to be bothered temporarily. Joining it automatically mutes/deafens you.
Q: Can you run Game X for us on the dedicated box?
A: Possibly, but remember that the box is funded by the RPS Arma 2 community and therefore Arma 2 comes first!Last edited by Nullkigan; 28-09-2011 at 11:35 PM.

Can you post a screen of what the overlay looks like in game? Thanks (=
For the love of Raptor Jesus, why hasn't this thread been stickied yet? Pretty much every RPS community uses it. The Stasi moderators need to get their act together!

I seem to have set a password on my mumble nick (ntw), can a mumble admin clear it or something?
When asked, he merely responded with a wry bleat followed by a swift kick to the testicles.- Rakysh
It will have actually registered your username to a certificate. If you go to Configure->Certificate Wizard you can export the cert for use on other machines. Nobody seems to care enough to do this though.
The work around is to pick a different username until someone can get in to clear the Registered Users list.Mumble :: Thread :: Click to Join
You can see it in the first few secs of this video in the top right corner, it's quite neat; actually you don't even need to press play, just look in the top right of the default still:
PS Massive thanks to herosquad for the mumble server, I've been very skittery on using up the bandwidth, but you're all so encouraging for people to use it, big up your chest.Last edited by Ayam; 13-11-2011 at 12:17 AM.

I recommend putting this hair mask in at night as a part of your nightly beauty routine and tossing it up into a top knot bun (if you have really long hair like I do); that way, when you sleep on it, you�re giving it a full 7-9 hours to do it�s magic on your scalp and hydrate your hair strands. Get super fancy and help increase the absorption of the oil by wrapping your head in a warm towel for 30 minutes before laying down for the evening. Also, if you were to use this during the day while you�re out and about, let�s be honest�your head is going to look like a grease ball from the coconut oil.
Coffee Citrus Body Scrub, a fragrant and effective natural exfoliate to use on your entire body for smooth and soft skin. Great to use daily or a couple of times a week.
- 1 cup coffee grounds
- 1 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1-3 drops of lemon essential oil
- 1-3 drops of orange essential oil
- � cup coconut sugar
- Mix in a bowl until everything is combined and keep at room temperature.
How to use:�Using a palm full of the scrub, start towards the end of your body (towards your feet) and work your way up exfoliating in a circular motion until you�ve reached your neck. You can use this on your face if you�d like, it just depends on your skin�s sensitivity to exfoliants. Let set for 15 minutes or longer and then rinse. Repeat on a weekly basis and gradually see your skin improve in softness and may even help get rid of scarring if you have any. Store in an airtight bag or mason jar if you have any leftover.DIY Lavender Deodorant, a soothing, calming, and luscious deodorant to use year round.
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons baking soda
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder (can add more for a thicker deodorant)
- 2-4 drops of lavender essential oil
- Simply mix to combine all the ingredients in a small bowl.
How to use: I like storing mine in a small glass jar with a lid.�If you enjoy a creamier deodorant similar to a moisturizer, use more coconut oil.�If you enjoy a harder deodorant similar to a stick, use more arrowroot powder.�Apply to underarms as needed, rubbing in.�Fresh and clean!McKel Hill, MS, RD, LDN is the creator of Nutrition Stripped, a plant-based whole foods blog focusing on nourishing recipes.

Visit the Old Town Square, with its world-famous astronomical clock. Built in 1490, it is one of the oldest in the world and provides a popular hourly show. Climb the Old Town Hall tower for magnificent views of Prague's cobbled streets, castle, river and the magnificent Our Lady of Tyn church. The Charles Bridge is named after the countries most famous monarch and offers superb views and access to the castle side of the river. Friendly musicians and souvenir stallholders attract locals and visitors alike.
Named after the Holy Roman Emperor who emancipated the Jews, Joseph II. Josefov, or the Jewish Quarter, is the birthplace of the celebrated author Frank Kafka. It contains the remains of the historic Jewish slums and 20th century buildings, with its Old-New synagogue and the Jewish museum showcasing some of central Europe's most important Jewish artefacts. It contains six synagogues and an old cemetery.
New Town's most famous landmark is Wenceslas Square, filled with an enticing array of bars, shops and gathering crowds. This is also where you will find the National Theatre, U Fleku beer hall and the National Museum – whose vantage point encourages you to take in the ornate architecture that lies below. It's also the Czech Republic's oldest museum – showcasing everything from mineralogy and zoology to archaeology and anthropology.
Walk down the picturesque streets and enjoy its lively restaurant scene. In the evening walk through the quaint, quieter gas lamp-lit lanes. Take the funicular railway up Petrin Hill, then walk the leafy trails to Petrin Tower – a scale model of the Eiffel Tower built in 1891, providing spectacular views. Explore the maze and the Stefanik Observatory while you're here too.
Containing the world's largest ancient castle, this district lies to the left of the River Vltava, over the Charles Bridge. With cobbled streets and incredible views from the castle walls over Prague, this area is not to be missed.

C4910 Urigwiro Group
Jean De Dieu is also the leader of this group which is called Urugwiro. The group contains one woman and five men; most of them are in the business of selling foodstuffs. Jean De Dieu is the first person on the left side.
Jean De Dieu and his group has requested a loan from Kiva lenders via Vision Finance Company in order to expand their businesses to purchase more fruit. Once their businesses are expanded, they hope to satisfy their customers and earn more profits.
Additional Information
About Vision Finance Company s.a – Rwanda (VFC)
Vision Finance Company (VFC) was Kiva's first partner in Rwanda. Established in 1999, VFC is an affiliate of World Vision International. Since its founding, VFC has been committed to alleviating poverty in Rwanda by ensuring that poor people have access to credit to support business initiatives that will improve their life circumstances.
VFC has a broad set of products and services, offering Community Banking services for self-selected groups of 10-30 borrowers, Solidarity Group services for more experienced groups of entrepreneurs, and Individual Loans for customers who already have a small established business. Vision Finance is also among the very few financial institutions targeting farmers and providing agricultural credit options in Rwanda, where access to credit is critical to the success of agricultural enterprises.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

I am a physician-scientist who works as part of a multidisciplinary group treating patients with breast cancer.
I also have broad interests in cancer biology. My research is focused on understanding how proteins called growth or inflammatory factors promote tumor growth and metastatic progression (when tumors spread to other sites in the body). Specifically, I study how these factors mediate the cross-talk between tumor cells and cells comprising the "tumor micro-environment." We hypothesize that it is the tumor's "milieu" or setting that determines the aggressiveness of cancers.
We are developing therapies targeted to these inflammatory pathways, which we believe will alter the behavior of cancers, making them sensitive to chemotherapies and hormonal therapies, and incapable of metastasizing. Our preclinical research is demonstrating that these approaches are applicable not only to breast cancer but to a number of other cancers including prostate, lung, ovarian, liver, and colorectal cancers. For further information about my research activities please see the link below.

Obama: Buck stops here on protecting U.S. diplomats
Wednesday - 10/17/2012, 7:24am EDT
President Barack Obama said it was his job to protect U.S. diplomats overseas, and investigate the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and hold those responsible accountable.
"I am ultimately responsible for what's taking place there because these are my folks, and I'm the one who has to greet those coffins when they come home," Obama said, during Tuesday's presidential debate against Republican Challenger Mitt Romney.
Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the attack, which came on the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Earlier on Tuesday, CNN published an interview with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, in which she took responsibility for the safety of American diplomats abroad.
"I'm in charge of the State Department's 60,000-plus people all over the world, 275 posts," Clinton said, in the interview. "The president and the vice president wouldn't be knowledgeable about specific decisions that are made by security professionals. They're the ones who weigh all of the threats and the risks and the needs and make a considered decision."

But Obama disagreed with Clinton's statement. "She works for me," he said. "I'm the president and I'm always responsible, and that's why nobody's more interested in finding out exactly what happened than I do."
The president said he would beef up security procedures at all embassies and consulates, investigate the Sept. 11 attack fully and track down those responsible.
Obama went on to criticize the Romney campaign for making the attack a political issue.
"While we were still dealing with our diplomats being threatened, Governor Romney put out a press release, trying to make political points, and that's not how a commander in chief operates," Obama said. "You don't turn national security into a political issue. Certainly not right when it's happening."
Romney acknowledged the correctness of the president taking responsibility "for the failure in providing those security resources." However, he questioned the administration's delay in informing the public that the attack was a terrorist action and not part of a demonstration protesting an online video offensive to Muslims.
"Whether there was some misleading, or instead whether we just didn't know what happened, you have to ask yourself, why didn't we know five days later when the ambassador to the United Nations went on TV to say that this was a demonstration?" Romney said. "How could we have not known?"
In a Sept. 12 Rose Garden speech, Obama did not explicitly call the incident a "terrorist attack." However, he did say: "No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for."
After praising Secretary Clinton and her team Tuesday night for their hard work, Obama shot back at his opponent.
"The suggestion that anybody in my team, whether the secretary of state, our U.N. ambassador, anybody on my team would play politics or mislead when we've lost four of our own, governor, is offensive," he said. "That's not what we do. That's not what I do as president, that's not what I do as commander in chief."
Tuesday's debate was the second between the presidential candidates. Vice President Joe Biden and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), the Republican vice-presidential nominee, debated on Oct. 11. The final debate between the presidential candidates is scheduled for Oct. 22, and will focus on foreign policy.

EDITOR'S CHOICE -- SCOTT SUTTELL Baby boomers felt recession's impact more than mostBy SCOTT SUTTELL 10:45 am, February 4, 2013
The recession was tough on almost everyone, but it was particularly bad for baby boomers, according to this New York Times analysis that includes comments from a Cleveland woman living on the edge economically.
Top U.S. bank regulators and lawmakers, including Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Avon, are pushing for action to "limit the risk that the government again winds up financing the rescue of one or more of the nation's biggest financial institutions."

Benedicte Gravrand, Opalesque Geneva: - According to the SWF Institute's latest Sovereign Wealth Fund Rankings, the total amount of sovereign wealth funds' asset under management is now $5,473bn, to which oil and gas related revenues contributed $3,193bn.
The rankings show Norways Government Pension Fund on top of the list, with $737bn in asset under management (AuM). The fund gets its capital mainly from oil revenues, and it scores 10 points out of 10 in the Linaburg-Maduell Transparency Index.
It is followed by the Abu Dhabi Investment Authoritys fund ($627bn in AuM, origin: oil, and index: 5 points); Chinas SAFE Investment Company (around $567bn in AuM, origin: non-commodity, index: 4); Saudi Arabias SAMA Foreign Holdings ($532bn, origin: oil, index: 4 points); and the Kuwait Investment Authority fund ($342bn, origin: oil, index: 7 points).
At the end of 2010, 58% of SWFs funding came from oil and gas related revenues. Asia had the greatest amount of SWFs, namely 40%, followed by the Middle East with 35% and Europe with 17%. The Americas and Africa only had each 3% of the share.
Assets to increase further According to SWF Institute, AuM increased from $3,265bn in the 3rd quarter of 2007 to $5,473bn in the 2nd quarter of 2013, with a dip in the 1st and 2nd quarters of 2009. Assets broke the $5tln threshold in June 2012.

Rated 3.7 out of 5 by 3
Rated 1 out of 5 by Codruta I purchased the grippy yoga gloves for my hot yoga practice; they do not have "towel" lining so no moisture is absorbed. The palms got sweaty very quickly and I was slipping and sliding inside my gloves; holding the poses was very difficult. I had to take them off. I would not recommend them for hot yoga.
August 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Stella2 Essential for yoga practice
It was a happy day when I discovered these! I had always had a problem with sweaty palms causing slipping during my yoga exertions--a mat was no help. These are great for "downward dog" and other poses that need stable hand-positioning. This is my second pair--I finally had to replace my previous 7-year-old pair--a good buy!.

Home > Health Library > Corticosteroids for Nephrotic Syndrome
Both prednisone and prednisolone are oral medicines. You take them by mouth. How much you take depends on your body size. Most often you take it daily for 4 to 8 weeks.
Corticosteroids are strong anti-inflammatory medicines. They act to reduce swelling in the body caused by nephrotic syndrome.
People take corticosteroids for nephrotic syndrome to help restore the kidney's normal function and remove extra fluid from the body.
More than 9 out of 10 children who have minimal change disease get better with corticosteroids.1
Corticosteroids work best for nephrotic syndrome caused by minimal change disease (also called nil disease), lupus, or glomerulonephritis.2
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
Call your doctor if you have:
Common side effects of this medicine include:
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
Corticosteroids can keep your immune system from fighting infection. When you are taking this medicine (and even when you have finished taking it), try not to be around people who are sick. And make sure you talk to your doctor before you get any vaccinations.
People who take corticosteroids for more than 2 to 3 months should take calcium and vitamin D supplements or other medicines, such as bisphosphonates, to prevent osteoporosis. For more information, see the Medications section of the topic Osteoporosis. Your doctor may want you to have a bone density test to check for osteoporosis.
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Women who use this medicine during pregnancy have a slightly higher chance of having a baby with birth defects. If you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant, you and your doctor must weigh the risks of using this medicine against the risks of not treating your condition.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

June 4, 1978 Campus Stadium, UC Santa Barbara, Isla Vista, CA: Elvin Bishop with Jerry Garcia
I was in college in Berkeley at the time, and friends drove down for the show. I cross examinde them upon their return the next day, and one very observant friend mentioned that Jerry Garcia came onstage and played a blues song with Elvin Bishop, taking a brief and unmemorable solo. I have never read any mention about this since, but I am absolutely confident that my friend (hi Mitch) did not imagine it, so I am posting it here.
When Elvin Bishop left Chicago and the Butterfield Blues Band to move to San Francisco in May 1968, he appeared on stage regularly with Garcia and the Dead for the next year. As his own career took off in the 1970s, his hectic touring schedule meant that he rarely crossed paths with the Dead. Thus it is not surprising that a rare instance of appearing on the same bill with the Dead would engender a Garcia guest appearance.
Although Bishop has always affected an "aw shucks" country-boy persona, he is a very sophisticated guitarist who always has a top-flight band. I do not know if Melvin Seals was his organist in 1978, but he definitely was by 1979, and future Bob Dylan and Garcia Band drummer Don Baldwin was already Bishop's drummer.
7 comments:
A correspondent has sent me a (copyrighted) photo of Jerry Garcia playing with the Elvin Bishop Group from this show. Jerry, playing his Tiger guitar, can be seen next to Bishop guitarist Johnny Vernazza, so all of this really happened.
I'm still waiting to find out what song Jerry played on.I recall the lead guitar for Waku was dressed in a white satin jumpsuit and his rock star persona was over the top. LOL Who was that guy? Seemed even more ridiculous when the one of the Hell's Angels rode a bike up on stage during NFA, on mic.
I don't recall Jerry onstage with Elvin Bishop but if he was, wasn't it the first time he played with Melvin Seals and Donny Baldwin?
"I got with Elvin Bishop for about 6 years and had the hit 'Fooled Around And Fell In Love'(1976) and that was the height of that. But that was how I met Maria Maladur. I did some work with Maria and at that time John Kahn (bassist for the Garcia Band) was her boyfriend. That's where John heard me and offered me the opportunity to come over and play with the other band."
Melvin played with the Jerry Garcia Band from 1980 until Jerry's death in 1995."(1)
Here's a video of Elvin Bishop Band from 1978 and a much thinner Melvin is there. He shows up at the :07 mark
and the 2:10 thru 2:32 mark.
Donnie Baldwin sings at the drums in this one.

Twins, White Sox giving youngsters extended looks
Pelfrey faces off against Quintana in second of three on South Side
With fewer than two weeks remaining in the season, the Twins and the White Sox have had ample opportunity to evaluate their young players before heading into the offseason.
Minnesota's Alex Presley, Josmil Pinto and Chris Hermann and Chicago's Leury Garcia, Marcus Semien and Josh Phegley are all young players who have seen extended action over the season's final weeks.
Many of those rising stars could be in the lineup on Tuesday night when the White Sox host the Twins, some of them at the expense of the team's more veteran players.
"This is part of where you're at and what we need to do from this point," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "It doesn't always make it easy, but it's something, with the guys who are up here, we need to be able to have them play and make evaluations."
Semien, who will turn 23 on Tuesday, is one of the young hitters who have made an impact for Ventura. He's hitting .333 since being called up on Sept. 4 and has seven hits in his last 16 at-bats
Presley, 28, has been even more impressive for the Twins. He's hitting .301 with a home run and seven RBIs since being acquired from the Pirates for Justin Moreneau on Aug. 31.
The outfielder will look to help the Twins get back to form against the White Sox on Tuesday. Minnesota has hit 24 home runs -- 11 of them at U.S. Cellular Field -- while going 10-7 against Chicago this season, but the White Sox scored seven first-inning runs and hit four home runs en route to a 12-1 blowout over the Twins on Monday night.
"We've had some good games here," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "This is an exciting place. It's loud. The ball flies. But I don't know why we swing so well here other than the fact we get a lot of opportunities to play here over the course of the year."
Twins: Pelfrey hopes to finish out the season in rotation
The Twins have been monitoring starter Mike Pelfrey down the stretch, as the right-hander is coming off 2012 Tommy John surgery.
Pelfrey was shelled by the A's in his last time out, surrendering seven runs on eight hits over three innings in a lopsided loss. For the season, he is 5-12 with a 5.31 ERA.
The right-hander has struggled against the White Sox this season, going 0-2 with a 6.75 ERA over four starts against them.
"I would like to finish the season," Pelfrey said. "I always take pride in taking the ball every fifth day. Whatever I end up getting to is what I end up getting to."
White Sox: Quintana looks to earn elusive victory
Jose Quintana has a 3.03 ERA over his past five starts, and he threw seven scoreless innings against the American League Central-leading Tigers in his last outing on Wednesday. But he has no wins to show for it.
Quintana is the Major League leader with 17 no-decisions, which is a single-season franchise record.
The left-hander is 7-6 with a 3.56 ERA, and he's 1-1 with a 5.40 ERA against the Twins.
"That doesn't affect me at all," Quintana said after his no-decision against the Tigers on Wednesday. "It was a close game. We faced a very good pitcher. I don't control the results. I control what I go out and do."
Worth noting
• After scoring just seven runs over their previous six games, the White Sox scored seven runs in the first inning Monday night.
• Twins outfielder Josh Willingham is a .500 lifetime hitter (5-for-10) with two home runs and five RBIs against Quintana.
• White Sox shortstop Alexei Ramirez went 4-for-4 on Monday with a home run, three RBIs and two runs scored.

German connection
Dear Willie, thank you for all your wonderful diary entries! Your great descriptions truly make me travel to so many different and colourful places in my imagination. I am sure that the big accordion ensemble created a huge sound! Before reading this story I did not know that there is such a large German-speaking community in Cape Town. This city must be an amazing place that connects different cultures. I am also amazed by the fact that Marius Mueller-Westernhagen is such a big celebrity there. As an Austrian I know him of course, because he is also quite famous in my country. One of his most moving songs is called "Freiheit" ("Freedom"), which he performed live after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Don't be scared, we only knew who he was because someone introduced us. We saw you a couple of days earlier but knowing how you hate to be recognised, we thought it was best to pretend you weren't there.
and yeah, we LOVED hearing Fez! surprises like that are the things we thrive on. Please, do keep 'm coming :)
