Scuffling Padres hitters meet struggling Tribe hurlers
Game 1 postponed; doubleheader on tap for Wednesday afternoon
Will a change of scenery bring a change of fortune for the Padres, who head to Cleveland for a three-game series with a 2-4 record?
San Diego will find out beginning Tuesday, as Monday's game was postponed due to rain. The clubs with then play a traditional doubleheader Wednesday beginning at 12:05 p.m. ET.
The Padres did manage to salvage a game in their three-game series against the Marlins on Sunday, as one big swing -- Alexi Amarista's three-run, pinch-hit home run in the seventh inning -- helped carry them to a 4-2 victory.
But what the Padres want -- and need -- are better swings up and down the lineup, and more runs, said manager Bud Black.
"We've got to, no doubt, get the bats going. I've said that the last three or four days," Black said. "You look at some of those averages, and they're a little low. We need those guys to start getting some hits."
The four runs Sunday were the most the Padres have scored in a game this season. Going into Sunday's game, they had been outscored 22-8.
The Nos. 3-4-5 hitters in the Padres' order are 7-for-66 (.106) with three RBIs in the first six games of the season.
"We're not, collectively as a group, swinging the bats well," Black said. "We're in a team-wide situation where we don't have one guy swinging the bat well."
The at-bats were, as Black noted, better on Sunday. Not just Amarista's home run, his first since July 7 of last season, but Yonder Alonso's sacrifice fly that made it 4-2, an at-bat against a left-handed pitcher.
"That was good situational hitting by Yonder," Black said.
They'll vie for more situational hitting behind Tyson Ross, who in his season debut gave up four runs (three earned) on five hits in five innings in a 5-1 loss to the Dodgers. Slated to start Monday, Robbie Erlin will pitch one of the games Wednesday.
Corey Kluber, who allowed five runs in just 3 1/3 innings last Wednesday in his season debut, had been slated to pitch Monday's opener and will get the nod Tuesday. The Indians hope he can reverse the recent issues for the rotation. Even Justin Masterson -- brilliant on Opening Day for the Tribe -- labored in a loss to the Twins on Sunday.
"We're just not making the adjustments yet," Masterson said. "I think we'll each do better as we continue to move on."
Padres: Benoit a little rusty
The slow start this season certainly hasn't led to much work for the two relief pitchers at the back end of the bullpen: eighth-inning specialist Joaquin Benoit and closer Huston Street.
Benoit made only his second appearances in the first five games of the season in Saturday's 5-0 loss to the Marlins. He was dinged for two runs on three hits with a walk while getting two outs.
"We needed to get Joaquin an inning there," Black said. "I thought that he looked a little rusty."
Benoit allowed two or more runs on two occasions last season in his 66 appearances with the Tigers.
Benoit was considerably sharper on Sunday, as he worked a clean eighth inning with one strikeout.
Street, who hadn't worked since Opening Day on March 30, made only his second appearance and got the save with a scoreless ninth inning.
Indians: Rotation woes
The Tribe headed into this season with a revamped rotation after letting lefty Scott Kazmir (A's) and righty Ubaldo Jimenez (Orioles) go via free agency over the winter. Over the past five games, Cleveland's starting five have turned in a disappointing line.
Through the last turn in the rotation, the Tribe's starters have combined to allow 19 runs (17 earned) on 35 hits in 22 1/3 innings, which equates to a 7.66 ERA. During that span, a bulk of the damage has come in the first three innings (10.20 ERA), putting Cleveland's offense in early holes.
Indians manager Terry Francona said it's easy to overreact this early in the season.
"I don't think we get discouraged that easily. We're always trying to get better, that's for sure," Francona said. "I don't think that you start to give up on your guys on April 6. I'm not saying that we don't want to do better, regardless of when in the year. But, I think you can rush to judgement and miss out on some really good players."
Worth noting
• Former big league outfielder Jason Lane, trying to make it back to the Major Leagues for the Padres as a left-handed pitcher, tossed six scoreless innings as Triple-A El Paso defeated Reno, 2-0. Lane didn't walk a batter and allowed five hits with nine groundouts.
Lane, 37, spent parts of six seasons in the big leagues as an outfielder and hit 26 home runs for the Astros in 2005. He had a 5.24 ERA in 11 games as a pitcher for Triple-A Tucson a year ago. That affiliate has now moved to El Paso.
• Amarista, the hero of Sunday's game with his home run, turned 25 on Sunday. The Padres have two other birthdays this week. Alonso will turn 27 on Tuesday. Tommy Medica turns 26 Wednesday.

Heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration mechanics and installersoften referred to as HVACR technicianswork on heating, ventilation, cooling, and refrigeration systems that control the air quality in many types of buildings. Show Details
Heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration mechanics and installers typically do the following:
Heating and air conditioning systems control the temperature, humidity, and overall air quality in homes, businesses, and other buildings. By providing a climate controlled environment, refrigeration systems make it possible to store and transport food, medicine, and other perishable items.
Although trained to do all three, HVACR technicians sometimes work strictly with heating, air conditioning, or refrigeration systems. They also may specialize in certain types of HVACR equipment, such as water-based heating systems, solar panels, or commercial refrigeration.
Depending on the task, HVACR technicians use many different tools. For example, they often use screwdrivers, wrenches, pipe cutters and other basic handtools when installing systems. To test or install complex system components, technicians may use more sophisticated tools, such as carbon monoxide testers, voltmeters, combustion analyzers, and acetylene torches.
When working on air conditioning and refrigeration systems, technicians must follow government regulations regarding the conservation, recovery, and recycling of refrigerants. This often entails proper handling and disposal of fluids.
Some HVACR technicians sell service contracts to their clients, providing regular maintenance of heating and cooling systems.
Other craft workers sometimes help install or repair cooling and heating systems. For example, on a large air conditioning installation job, especially one in which workers are covered by union contracts, ductwork might be done by sheet metal workers and duct installers, or electrical work by electricians. In addition, home appliance repairers usually service window air conditioners and household refrigerators. For more information on these occupations, see the profiles on sheet metal workers, electricians, or home appliance repairers.
Plumbers, pipefitters, and steamfitters install and repair pipes that carry water, steam, air, or other liquids or gases to and in businesses, homes, and factories. Show Details
Plumbers, pipefitters, and steamfitters typically do the following:
Although plumbers, pipefitters, and steamfitters are three distinct specialties, their duties are often similar. For example, they all install pipes and fittings that carry water, steam, air, or other liquids or gases. They connect pipes, determine the necessary materials for a job, and perform pressure tests to ensure a pipe system is airtight and watertight.
Plumbers, pipefitters, and steamfitters install, maintain, and repair many different types of pipe systems. Some of these systems carry water, dispose of waste, supply gas to ovens, or heat and cool buildings. Other systems, such as those in power plants, carry the steam that powers huge turbines. Pipes also are used in manufacturing plants to move acids, gases, and waste byproducts through the production process.
Master plumbers on construction jobs may be involved with developing blueprints that show where all the pipes and fixtures will go. Their input helps ensure that a structures plumbing meets building codes, stays within budget, and works well with the location of other features, such as electric wires.
Plumbers and fitters may use many different materials and construction techniques, depending on the type of project. Residential water systems, for example, use copper, steel, and plastic pipe that one or two plumbers can install. Power-plant water systems, by contrast, are made of large steel pipes that usually take a crew of pipefitters to install. Some workers install stainless steel pipes on dairy farms and in factories, mainly to prevent contamination.
Plumbers and fitters sometimes cut holes in walls, ceilings, and floors. With some pipe systems, workers may hang steel supports from ceiling joists to hold the pipe in place. Because pipes are seldom manufactured to the exact size or length, plumbers and fitters measure and then cut and bend lengths of pipe as needed. Their tools include saws, pipe cutters, and pipe-bending machines.
They then connect the pipes, using methods that vary by type of pipe. For example, copper pipe is joined with solder, but steel pipe is often screwed together.
In addition to installation and repair work, journey- and master-level plumbers, pipefitters, and steamfitters often direct apprentices and helpers.
Following are examples of occupational specialties:
Plumbers install and repair water, drainage, and gas pipes in homes, businesses, and factories. They install and repair large water lines, such as those that supply water to buildings, and smaller ones, including ones that supply water to refrigerators. Plumbers also install plumbing fixturesbathtubs, showers, sinks, and toiletsand appliances such as dishwashers, garbage disposals, and water heaters. They also fix plumbing problems. For example, when a pipe is clogged or leaking, plumbers remove the clog or replace the pipe. Some plumbers maintain septic systems, the large, underground holding tanks that collect waste from houses not connected to a city or county's sewer system.
Pipefitters install and maintain pipes that carry chemicals, acids, and gases. These pipes are mostly in manufacturing, commercial, and industrial settings. They often install and repair pipe systems in power plants, as well as heating and cooling systems in large office buildings. Some pipefitters specialize:

Hi Nonopr, Please found bellow the photos, it is not a "easy up haul" but very easy to use without back painfull, you use only your weight to up haul the sail. http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/8962/raceuphaul.jpg http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/8962/raceuphaul.jpg All the best |

Hi, Eric, I also use the Easyuphaul on my 7.5/waist harness combo. I didn't include the info previously because I thought that most people wanted the info when they used BIG sails. I don't use a waist harness on my 8.5/9.8 sails, so can't comment. Hope this helps. |

hello: i do know it is not a "tool" :-) someone called it as such and thought it redundant to say easyuphaul uphaul am using a 10.0 with a luff of 536 on a 520/100% mast as a race type sail with double luff it weighs 7.5 kilos !! so, 30 to 40 dollars versus a sore back ? sounds like an easy decision i have had issues in big winds with 8.5 already, so .... will try without, but intend to investigate availability n cost here thank you all very much !!!! |

Hi All, The new Race Up Haul from Star-Board help a lot to reduce back painfull, no need anymore to stress your back but jsut use your weight to up haul the sail. All the best |
4th April 2010 02:14 PM | ||
Philip | Use the EasyUphaul for cambered race sails with a seat harness. It certainly works from not being able to uphaul when the luff sleeve is full with water, and waves conspiring to keep the whole lot down there, to now being able to float the sail and steer the whole plot while getting it together for the next run and splash! Highly recommended. | |
4th April 2010 10:42 AM | ||
vikingsail | Have them on all my booms. I have a back issue and when I have to uphaul it helps me keep my back straight by using my weight instead of bending over and using my muscles. | |
4th April 2010 09:43 AM | ||
agrelon |
I home made one by attaching an additional piece of uphaul rope about 2/3 down the normal uphaul. On this extension I tied a stainless steel loop, same sort of diameter as a tennis ball. With a bit of height adjustment I've gotten it about right. Because I'm using it on a smaller, yet heave, race sail, 5.8 the time for which I can sit back once hooked in to pull up is slightly limited. But it feels really good just pulling on your harness to get the sail out of the water/empty the luff sleeve. I think official ones are going for 30-40 USD so I decided to build one to give it a go. Definitely worth while on a bigger sail and I can't wait to use it for my 7.5 (also cambered and heavy). |

Actually, no. That�s not true. They�re chasing their tails over what happened after the tragic events of September 11. They�re mostly concerned that the Obama Administration tried to cover up the fact that this was a terrorist ...

Lester faces Scherzer, Tigers in rematch of ALCS
Teams meet at Fenway for first time since Red Sox took series in six
When the Tigers and Red Sox take the field at Fenway Park on Friday night for the opener of a three-game series, it will be hard not to flash back to last October, when they squared off in an epic American League Championship Series.
Despite glittering starting pitching by Detroit, the Red Sox somehow prevailed in six games and went on to win the World Series.
Perhaps the Tigers are still motivated from their near miss. They open this series with the best record in the American League at 24-12.
Fittingly, the series will start with a marquee pitching matchup between Jon Lester and Max Scherzer.
"It's the drawback and the perk of starting Opening Day," said Lester. "You know that every five days, you're going to face the other team's best. I'm not pitching against that guy, but at the same time you are. You know what you're up against. You know that guy's name and his track record and what they've been able to do. At the same time, you have to worry about the lineup and try not to give up as many as the other guy. You know it's going to be a grind from pitch one."
Including his two starts in the 2013 ALCS, Scherzer has pitched six times at Fenway Park, going 1-3 with a 3.46 ERA.
"It's such a great atmosphere," said Scherzer, who won the Cy Young Award last season. "The fans there make it great."
When Scherzer left the mound in the seventh inning of Game 6, the Tigers had a 2-1 lead and were just eight outs from forcing Game 7.
Moments later, Shane Victorino hit a grand slam to turn the series in Boston's favor.
"Any time you're facing a great team like that, it's going to be a battle," Scherzer said. "That's what makes it fun. For me, it's always fun going in there and playing the Red Sox at Fenway Park."
Scherzer is coming off one of his toughest outings of the season against the Twins, though he still lasted six innings and earned his fifth win. He had some control problems, which he knows won't do the trick against a lineup like Boston's.
Though Lester's record is an unspectacular 4-4, he has pitched tremendous baseball this season.
The lefty has gone seven innings or more in six of his eight starts and has allowed more than three earned runs just once.
"I feel good," said Lester. "I feel good with where I'm at. I feel good mechanically and physically and all that. I'll just continue to take the ball. I'm not worried about stat lines, as long as I give the team a chance to win. I'll just keep pitching."
Tigers: Putkonen may rejoin team after rehab assignment
Luke Putkonen might make one more rehab appearance for Triple-A Toledo before rejoining the Tigers bullpen, manager Brad Ausmus said Wednesday.
Tigers officials were planning to discuss the possibility on Wednesday after Putkonen gave up three singles and a grand slam in his second inning of work for Toledo on Tuesday night.
Mud Hens manager Larry Parrish told the Toledo Blade there was some issue with Putkonen's stuff.
"I didn't think he had the pop on his fastball, the movement," Parrish told The Blade's John Wagner. "There were also some things we don't want to talk about, but that we might be able to help him with."
Putkonen made three rehab appearances over the past week between Toledo and Class A West Michigan. He went on the 15-day disabled list a few weeks ago with right elbow inflammation.
Red Sox: Farrell wants to get Mujica more work
Red Sox manager John Farrell admits he's caught in between a little with struggling setup man Edward Mujica.
The righty needs more frequent work to get in a groove. Yet, it's hard to get him in close games when he's not pitching well.
"It's two outings, I think, in about a two-week span," said Farrell. "I temper it with ... he needs a little bit more frequent work. I don't necessarily see any restrictions physically after he felt something in the oblique. Still, he's a guy that's had a lot of success and we have to get him going."
• The Tigers won the 2013 regular-season series, 4-3, against the Red Sox before losing the ALCS in six games.
• Red Sox slugger David Ortiz has hit well against Scherzer, going 7-for-15 with three homers.
• Miguel Cabrera has similarly strong numbers against Lester, going 10-for-19 with a homer and five RBIs.

Cancer chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. Unlike radiation and surgery, which are localized treatments, chemotherapy is a systemic treatment, meaning the drugs travel throughout the whole body. This means chemotherapy can reach cancer cells that may have spread, or metastasized, to other areas.
Chemotherapy is usually combined with other types of treatment (surgery, radiation therapy) in an attempt to do the following:
- Cure smaller, early-stage pancreatic cancer
- Increase survival time in more advanced pancreatic cancer (Although, this usually means only by a matter of months.)
- Provide some symptom relief
Chemotherapy Drugs Used for Pancreatic Cancer
- Fluorouracil (5-FU)
- Gemcitabine (the first line treatment)
- Gemcitabine plus erlotinib (Tarceva)—first line treatment
- Cisplatin (Blastolem RU, Tecnoplatin)
- Investigational agents (experimental treatments)
- Streptozotocin (for endocrine tumors)
Gemcitabine, used alone or in combination with other chemotherapy agents, seems to improve the quality of life for patients with pancreatic cancer. Chemotherapy with gemcitabine improves symptoms, including pain, nausea, and vomiting in about 25% of patients. It also provides a modest increase in survival (usually only a few months).
Fluorouracil is not associated with a survival benefit. Cisplatin and some other drugs have been used in combination with gemcitabine, but are associated with more side effects.
These drugs should be used with caution in the elderly and those with liver or kidney disease . Elderly patients are at an increased risk of side effects.

Ricardo E.MexicoHairDark BrownCurly HairLove ItI started noticing a receding hairline last year, so I researched about male pattern baldness, androgens, enzimes, DHT, finasteride, etc. I read and considered all of this some months before even trying something, because the drugs kept me undecised. Then I came across this products and at about 3-4 months of using the folligen spray with emu oil, I started noticing little hairs growing at the edges of my hair. Since I haven't cutted my hair, I can tell that there's been growing new hair since I can take away complete strands at the sides that are shorter (I'm a boy and my hair is about 16", but I can take away pieces that are 6", or even at any part of my whole head 3" pieces!, my hair is getting more volume since more hair starts growing). Here is two pictures of how my hair looks like, and also, a before and after picture of one side of the receding hairline! =Dposted Feb 6, 2012Link to this post
LongEffectiveness Of Folligen Solution SprayIt is not a miracle solution. But over the years this product in combination with Minoxidil has helped to definitely slowed down hair loss for me. And objectively speaking, it does produce observable hair growth after 3 months. But the rate of hair growth levels off and stays at the "maintaining" level after 6 months. I am still using it in combination with 5% minoxidil after 3.5 years. There was a period of 6 months that I deliberately dropped it just to learn that my hair went away really fast.
In short, using the combination of 5% minoxidil and this product will initially grow hair up to a year then it saturates at that level with continuing use. That is practically the best solution I found for myself.posted Jan 12, 2012Link to this post -

MicheleOakland CaSaved My Thinning Hair!I ordered folligen therapy spray back in march of 2006 because of excessive hair loss, possibly stress related or medical induced. I was only 19 at the time and couldnt quite figure out why I was losing my hair in clumps! I bought this spray and used it twice a day. Within 2 months my shedding decreased some and I began to notice my thin spots filling in! The thin spots werent completely filled in 100%, so I discontinued use after a while and began using an oil combination. I decided to combine the use of the hair growth oil with folligen again recently and had wonderful results!My hair grew in the thin areas 100% this time, and thickened the rest of my hair like crazy! Shedding was also reduced tremendously! This is definitely best used with another product for maximum results, but works really good alone as well. Folligen was the only hair loss spray that saved my hair and kicked started the growth cycle. So believe me, it is worth every penny! Just be a little patient and you should see some sort of results. You cant even tell now that I once had badly thinning hair in the front, a miracle! My bottle is gone now (one lasted me a full year!) so I placed an order for another one. Good stuff, try it!posted Aug 5, 2007Link to this post

Verlander looks to continue Interleague success
Ace owns 24-2 mark against NL opponents; Morales opens for Colorado
Tigers right-hander Justin Verlander may not be the pitcher he once was, but National League teams sure wouldn't know it.
Verlander is undefeated in three Interleague starts this season. His 4.58 ERA in those games might not be pretty, but he's thrown quality starts in two of his three chances and has struck out 17 over 19 2/3 innings compared to six walks.
Two starts ago against the D-backs, Verlander went 6 2/3 innings, striking out five and allowing six hits and three walks. More importantly, he noticed a change in his arm action before the game and corrected it, leading to a noticeable improvement in his fastball command.
"I could tell right from jump street -- it felt like I was able to throw the way I want," Verlander said. "Really the first time all year that I felt like I've been able to locate my fastball as well as I would like to."
In 31 career Interleague starts, Verlander owns a 24-2 record and a 2.75 ERA. Colorado left-hander Franklin Morales probably wishes he was as fortunate.
Morales has made 21 Interleague appearances, including seven starts. In those games, Morales has compiled a 5.76 ERA and surrendered 11 home runs.
Morales has never started a game against Detroit, but in six relief appearances, the Tigers have got to him for eight hits, five runs and five walks.
Although he's struggled to eat innings, Morales has at least been reliable for the Rockies since rejoining their rotation. His most recent start was easily his worst over that span, though, as he lasted just four innings and served up six hits, five walks and two runs to the Pirates.
With Morales' floundering of late and Verlander tossing a one-run, complete game in his most recent start against Colorado back in 2011, the Rockies have double the reasons to hope history doesn't hold true.
Rockies: Matzek ready to roll following emergency appearance
When you consider the Rockies played a total of eight extra innings in their four-game series against the Cubs, it's no surprise that there were a few pitching casualties.
Left-hander Tyler Matzek was slated to start Thursday, but after tossing the final frame of the Rockies' 16-inning, 4-3 loss to the Cubs on Tuesday, he was replaced with left-hander Pedro Hernandez.
The emergency appearance came just three days after he tossed seven scoreless against the Pirates. Although he's currently not scheduled to pitch during this three-game series against Detroit, Matzek said he feels "fine" after spending just 16 pitches his last time out.
"It was just a normal short bullpen for me -- an extra bullpen between starts for me," said Matzek, who had thrown a bullpen session on Monday. "I've always been really durable. It felt fine that night and it feels fine now."
Matzek is in his first season in the Majors so the Rockies will surely play it safe with the 23-year-old. But after Saturday's scheduled starter Yohan Flande was called upon to throw 1 2/3 innings of relief Thursday, Matzek seems like a likely candidate to start Saturday against the Tigers.
Tigers: Ausmus reflects on short time with Rockies
Although few remember Tigers manager Brad Ausmus' brief tenure with the Rockies, he can still recall his jaw hitting the floor when they made him their third-round pick in the 1992 Expansion Draft when he was in the Yankees organization.
Ausmus was watching the process unfold on television in his room at his Dartmouth fraternity house. When he heard his name called, he couldn't believe it, and nor could his fraternity brothers.
"I was in my room by myself," Ausmus said. "There must've been guys down the hall watching it because I heard [them yelling] down the hall."
Ausmus was in the Rockies organization for less than a year and never made it to the Majors before the team sent him to the Padres in a Deadline deal. But he'll always look back fondly on the opportunity they allowed him.
"When you first sign and play with a team in the Minors for five years, you feel like you're never going to leave the team," said Ausmus of his time with the Yankees. "When I get picked up in an Expansion Draft, which is a rare event anyway, once you get over the shock, it was fun actually. It was a brand-new team. Inaugural Spring Training. I enjoyed it [and] met a lot of people that I had never met in the game. "
Worth noting
• The Tigers acquired Rays left-hander David Price in a blockbuster, three-team trade before Thursday's Trade Deadline. Detroit sent left-hander Drew Smyly and shortstop Willy Adames to Tampa Bay and outfielder Austin Jackson to Seattle to acquire Price's services.
• Outfielder Carlos Gonzalez returned to the lineup Thursday after missing one game because of soreness in his knee and ankle. He batted fifth and finished 0-for-4 with one strikeout.
• The Rockies designated corner infielder Ryan Wheeler for assignment Thursday to make room for left-hander Pedro Hernandez on the 40-man roster.

SHINEDOWN'S Zach Myers-"Bands that use 45 minutes of their 2 hour set to talk politics should be shot!"
by admin on Sep.18, 2010, under interviews
Atlantic recording artists Shinedown formed in Jacksonville, FL in 2001. Since then, they have released three albums full of countless hits, such as "Fly from the Inside", "45″, "Save Me", and more recently "Devour", "The Crow and the Butterfly", and who could forget their brilliant cover of Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Simple Man". All the while they have been touring their asses off, and playing in front of packed houses, and surprisingly enough none of them have included me. I don't know how it came to be that I never had the chance to get out and see these guys, but I can't believe what great shows I've missed. That being said, it should come as no surprise that when the opportunity arose to interview guitarist Zach Myers at a stop on this summer's Carnival of Madness tour, I jumped at the chance. Here's how it all went down as Zach and I talked about everything from the tour, to Ozzy, to oil spills.
AWAY-TEAM: First off, I'd like to congratulate you on the tour, and the success of the fifth single off "The Sound of Madness" , "The Crow and the Butterfly". I saw that it just hit number one on the Active Rock charts, and it's poised to do the same on the Mainstream Rock chart.
ZACH MYERS: Thanks. That's five number ones on this record, we're so very blessed, and we're really excited. And now we just found out they're gonna release one more single, so we're gonna go for six.
AWAY-TEAM: Can you tell me what that's gonna be?
ZACH MYERS: I think it's gonna be "Breaking Inside", but I'm not sure. I can't confirm that, but I think that's what it is.
AWAY-TEAM: So six singles AND you're gonna knock Ozzy off the top spot. That's pretty cool.
ZACH MYERS: Yeah. We did already, actually, on Active Rock. Sorry Ozzy.
AWAY-TEAM: (laughs) Back to the tour, you guys have assembled a killer lineup, how did this all happen?
ZACH MYERS: The idea came up…Brent (frontman Brent Smith) wanted to do a festival tour, our manager also wanted to do a festival tour, our manager manages all of these bands. So it was pretty easy to put together, ya know what I mean, it was all in house. It was cool man. It was something that we asked all these bands, we picked the bands. It was a fun idea, when we put it all together, and ya know the best thing about the summer is festivals. And these are all bands that would be on a festival anyway, so we went to every single one of them and said "Why don't we put on a festival. Our own festival, and travel around" The backstage vibe is way cooler like that. Festivals are just like class reunions, you get together and see all your friends again, so why not have that for a couple months. So it was a very easy idea to put together. It was a no-brainer.
AWAY-TEAM: You mentioned that you thought summer festivals were fun. Is this something that you plan to do annually?
ZACH MYERS: It is gonna be an annual thing. But it's gonna be almost like when Limp Bizkit did the uh…
AWAY-TEAM: Family Values?
ZACH MYERS: Yeah. We're not gonna be on it every year. I know that we probably won't be on it next year, but the following year we'll probably do it.
AWAY-TEAM: So kinda "One on, one off"?
ZACH MYERS: Yeah. But it will be an annual thing. The Carnival will be an annual event, but who headlines will be different from year to year.
AWAY-TEAM: With Ozzfest kinda winding it's way down, it seems like the perfect replacement.
ZACH MYERS: Yeah, and you never know, maybe we could move it to like two or three stages. We would all love that.
AWAY-TEAM: That'd be great. In ten words or less, what can a fan expect to see at the Carnival of Madness?
ZACH MYERS: Madness. It's a carnival. (laughs) Um. Loud. (pauses) Five of the greatest live shows you've ever seen.
AWAY-TEAM: You guys had a Live DVD that was scrapped back in 2007. Any chance we'll get a Live DVD/Album from this tour?
ZACH MYERS: I can tell you that we're gonna record a couple shows. DVD's are so hard pressed now with labels, because they don't really make any money off of them. They put money into them but they really, no matter how many you sell of them, it's not like the old days where when you sell a concert DVD, you can't really sell a million copies of one. Ya know what I mean? I couldn't tell you the last person who did that in the last ten years, so. We actually talked about doing it ourselves, and funding it ourselves. This is way too cool of a show to not put out a DVD of some sort. If there's not a DVD, after this we're doing an acoustic tour and we're definitely gonna film alot of that, so…
AWAY-TEAM: Now, five singles off "The Sound of Madness", you said you're ready to release a sixth, it's been about three years when can we expect to see a new Shinedown studio album?
ZACH MYERS: Umm. At the earliest, I would say at the end of 2011. At the very earliest. We're gonna take October off, and go write in L.A. We've been writing alot anyway, we wrote the Alice in Wonderland song ("Her Name is Alice"), we've written "Diamond Eyes" for The Expendables. But yeah, we're gonna go write in October, then we're gonna go do this acoustic tour, and then I think we're gonna wind it down in about mid-December. Kinda take a break, take about a month or two off, and then start it all back over again.
AWAY-TEAM: You guys recently joined the ever growing list of bands that are boycotting BP Petroleum…
ZACH MYERS: I don't know where this is coming from.
AWAY-TEAM: Not true?
ZACH MYERS: No. We've been asked that like five times. I don't know where… I disagree with it, I think it's completely fucked. We all live in the south, so ya know that's our home…Do I get gas at BP when I'm home? No.
AWAY-TEAM: So I guess the question still does apply. If you had the podium at a BP board meeting, what would you say to them?
ZACH MYERS: What can you say? Who's fault is it? It's really not their fault. In all honesty, it's not their fault when something like that happens. It's a natural disaster, they didn't pop the cap off the thing. But it is their fault for not fixing it sooner, or not having a plan in place. They really, if they would've kept their mouths shut, then it would've been fine. But this guy kept going on and saying things like "There's more shrimp in Louisiana". This guy's an idiot, ya know what I mean? He's put his foot in his mouth so many times. When you're the head of a company and you have to have security to escort you back to Europe so people don't kill you, it's because you've opened your mouth too much. But no, as a band we can't get involved in that. It's not our place, we're not a political band. The most political we've ever been is "Devour" and that's just us talking about what WE saw when WE were in Iraq. But other than that, we're not a political band, it's not our business. Eric (bassist Eric Bass) and I are very political as people, but we don't bring that into the band. You don't talk about politics, and you don't talk about religion, that's just something that you don't do.
AWAY-TEAM: This is your work. You don't talk politics at work.
ZACH MYERS: Yeah, and bands that use 45 minutes of their 2 hour set to talk about politics should be shot! I'm sorry, it's people that pay to hear you bitch? So what? No one cares! U2 is one of my favorite bands of all time, and yeah Bono will slip things in here and there, but he doesn't take half an hour. And that's the thing about it, it's finding that line, ya know. Some bands don't do that.
AWAY-TEAM: Well thanks, man. I'm looking forward to the show tonight, and thanks for your time. Have a good show.
ZACH MYERS: Thank you very much. We'll do our best. This is only our third show of the tour, so we'll see how it goes.
AWAY-TEAM: Just warming up.
ZACH MYERS: Just warming up, and my whole body hurts already. (laughs)
AWAY-TEAM: Well, hey Zach thanks alot. It's been a pleasure.
ZACH MYERS: Thanks. I appreciate it.
