Daniel 'Boscoe' France has the blues, and they've got to come out
Guitarist a grand finalist in Guitar Center's national 'Battle of the Blues' competition
Daniel "Boscoe" France's trip to California this week won't be his first, but it promises to be his most memorable.
The Madisonville, Ky., bluesman, a fixture on the Evansville music scene, is one of six grand finalists in the 2012 "Battle of the Blues," a national competition sponsored by instrument retailer Guitar Center, billed as "a search for the nation's top undiscovered blues guitar player."
On Saturday night, France will take the stage at Club Nokia in Los Angeles. Backed by a live band, he'll perform a single, Freddie King-style instrumental blues shuffle and try to wow a panel of judges who will take into consideration originality and stage presence, among other factors.
"I'm just going to approach it the same way as any other gig," says France, who flew to Los Angeles from Nashville, Tenn., on Wednesday. "I'm just going to go out there and have a good time."
Five other contestants — the survivors from a competition that began in May with some 3,500 entrants nationwide — will also be vying for top honors, a grand prize of $25,000 and a studio recording session with Grammy-winning producer Pete Anderson, who will be Saturday's bandleader.
The show also will feature performances by R&B piano icon Dr. John and guitar hero Joe Bonamassa, who performed in Evansville earlier this year.
Although France says he's checked out his competition via videos posted online, he has no plans to alter his normal approach to playing the guitar. He hopes his extensive experience as a working musician, especially in a competition with several younger players, will pay dividends.
Trying to prepare too much, he says, could threaten the spontaneity and vitality that are essential components of the blues.
"I haven't really prepared at all," he says. "Today, I listened to the track of the song that I'm going to play and went through it once. But it's a shuffle in (the key of) G. This is what I do every night. So what, really, am I gonna rehearse? I'm just going to do what I do."
If there's an ace up France's sleeve, it's that the grand finals competition also has an acoustic component. For two minutes, each contestant — without a band, this time — is required to play guitar the old-fashioned way.
"If I think I've got a strength anywhere, it's right there," says France, whose Kentucky roots have lent his guitar style a bluegrass sensibility. "Because I play an acoustic guitar just like I can play an electric one. I've made a living doing it for a long time.
"I want to see somebody grab an acoustic guitar and play lead and rhythm on the thing at the same time," he continues. "It's not easy to do, and I've been doing it all my life. If I can hold my own on the electric, and if I can give them what I think they want on the acoustic thing, I think I've got a shot."
France's trip to Los Angeles was set up by a victory at Guitar Center's Evansville store in May, followed by wins in district competition at Indianapolis in June and regional competition at New Orleans in July.

Speaking to this specifically: used to be that if you specified too
much swap, you'd actually chew significantly into usable RAM to support
the (in-memory) references to swap space. This is probably back in 2.2
kernel days, my understanding is the situation's improved markedly, but
I'm well out of my depth discussing this.
My own recommendation is that you:
- Run with typically 1x - 2x RAM for SWAP, modulo edge cases. If
you've got little RAM on the system, (say, < 96 MiB) you might want
to allow for 4x RAM in swap. If you've got gobs (currently, say, >
4 GiB) RAM, you might allow somewhat less. More on this.
- Create sufficient SWAP partitions (or files) to allow 1x-2x your
system's *max possible* RAM, not the current configuration.
- Create multiple swap partitions, sized to roughly the amount by
which you'd increment RAM. So if you've got 512 onboard, and max at
2BG, create from 2-4 512 MiB swap partitions.
- You don't need to mount all your swap. It *is*, however, easier to
edit your /etc/fstab, or run a 'swapon' command from shell, than it
is to repartition your disk to add swap later. So create additional
swap partitions even if you don't plan on using them immediately.
Or ever. You can always repurpose them to auxiliary storage. The
cost, at current disk prices, is only a few dollars worth of
Finally: regardless of how much memory you've got:
Your system will run better with swap than without it.
The short explanation is that swap allows the kernel to better balance
VM usage. See Martin Pool's excellent essay on this subject, "Is Swap
Space Obsolete?"
> Third, as the size of the swap space increases, its usefulness drops.
> The only way for you to utilize all the swap space is if you end up with a
> really large program/data, or lots of small programs, or a combination of
> both.
I keep seeing people say that. I keep experiencing the opposite:
regardless of how much RAM I've got, I pretty much start filling it.
Currently, with 1 GiB RAM:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 972336 958792 13544 0 119980 130676
-/+ buffers/cache: 708136 264200
Swap: 1060208 554116 506092
That is, I'm using > 72% of my RAM, and nearly half my swap.
What's running? 350 processes, lots of spamd, a couple of browser
sessions, mutt, apt-get.
My point: you'll eat RAM for lunch. Sure, you can tune your system and
get rid of processes. But your system's there for you to use, and even
basic activities -- web surfing, mail, graphics, office tools -- will
go through a lot of it.
The nice part is that GNU/Linux seems to do more with, and behave better
with less, memory than 'Doze.

Again: my experience is that this isn't the case. Running vmstat, I
find that paging in and out of swap is relatively infrequent. For small
programs, the hit taken by paging a few blocks in and out of swap will
be small anyway. A large program -- sure, you're going to wait a few
seconds while it comes up, if you haven't been working with it for a
while. Most people's work habits involve cycle times between tasks
which are much larger than swap cycles.

GNU/Linux paging, as I understand, is demand-based, and programs don't
page in and out fully, only the parts which are/aren't being used, in 4K
chunks (Martin's essay covers this).
My undestanding is also that paging is opportunistic. Borrowing from
_In Search of Clusters_ by Gregory Pfister (which deals with clusters,
not Linux VM specifically, but distributed memory management is a big
part of cluster management), it's like making space for a new project on
a dirty desk by randomly grabbing a file and parking it in the credenza
across the room. Turns out that randomly grabbing a file is more
efficient than spending a lot of time figuring out which files won't be
used. If a file (memory page) _is_ needed, well, you'll just re-fetch
it. If it's not, it stays in the credenza. Eventually, over time, you
end up with frequently-used materials on the desktop (in memory) and
infrequently used materials in the credenza (in swap).
...unless you don't have enough desktop space (insufficient memory), in
which case you're spending a lot of time running between the desktop and
credenza (swapping).

I'm not sure that logic holds up, though I don't disagree with the
results. I'm not sure that your list of swapped processes is
necessarially fixed. In my case, *most* of my 350+ processes are
hanging out on swap, most of the time.
My rule of thumb is this:
- I want sufficient swap that I rarely if ever run out of VM. On my
desktop, keeping issues down to > 1 per month or two is probably a
reasonable incident rate. In a larger shop, you're going to balance
support needs with memory costs...
- I want sufficient memory that I'm rarely stuck in a high-paging,
high-iowait state. Again, a few minutes every month or so is
acceptable, beyond that is going to start getting annoying. Again,
business environments vary, but if you've got users spending minutes
waiting for different tasks to swap in or out (a situation I've seen
frequently on legacy MS Windows XP), there's a problem.
- Once I've met these goals, with a margin for slop, allocating
additional swap is waste. Given price for disk (cheap, cheap,
cheap!), you can err on the high side, slightly.
I come up with about the same numbers (1-3x RAM)

More likely the latter.
Adding swap isn't going to slow you down -- *that* is caused by
insufficient RAM, and constant swapping (paging) of data between memory
and disk. Been there, done that, it's ugly. GNU/Linux's OOM is still
somewhat poor in this regard.

> swap space.
Agreed. For desktop use, 128 MiB (light browsing / email) / 512 MiB
(typical browsing / email / office) to multi-GiB (multimedia work).
Light-use file / print / firewall servers (typical SOHO use) can
actually get by on markedly less. 96 MiB should be plenty for most
needs. Adding shell or X/VNC sessions would increase that markedly.

Muslim and Arab Women
Collection home page
Dr. Nimat Hafez Barazangi's forty years of combined scholarly active work with Arab, Muslim, and non-Muslim organizations and individuals in North America and the Muslim/Arab world has mainly focused on the development and education of Muslim/Arab women in the primary sources of Islam; the Qur'an and the Hadith (Prophet Muhammad's narrated traditions). She published about 25 research articles and book reviews, and a monograph on this subject.
Her monograph Woman's Identity and the Qur'an: A New Reading (The University Press of Florida, 2004) was labeled by an anonymous reviewer as "the most radical book in the last 14 centuries of Islam." The monograph was translated in 2007 into Arabic under the title: Qira'a Jadida lil Qura'n: Al Huwiya al Dhatiya lil Mar'a.

AHP Newsgroup: Whitney Show Coat Changing the Rules
February 20. 2013
(Portland, Oregon)
FITS, long known for its technical innovation in equestrian apparel, has applied their forward thinking design skills to a show coat for the very first time with the Whitney. "Whitney is far and away the most comfortable show coat ever created in terms of freedom of motion and breathability for the rider," commented Sheryl Rudolph, FITS' Founder and President, who also noted: "More and more equestrians are engaged in multiple disciplines and our show coat enables them to compete with less to pack while stretching their apparel budget."
The Whitney is built for comfort, with tropical weight soft shell fabric by Schoeller that is stretchy and breathable. Performance enhancing fabric treatments include anti-odor and stain-repellent finishes. Strategically placed layers of powermesh encase the rider's rib cage and provide exceptional stretch and virtually air conditioned comfort. Front and back V-angled waist seams slenderize the look and fit for both long and short waisted riders alike. In keeping with current fashion trends, the coat length is such that it can easily take a rider onto the dressage court as well as into the jumper ring.
The comfortably cool and stylish Whitney Show Coat, available in sizes XS, S, M, L and XL, is listed at $492 and can be found at many of FITS' nearly 200 worldwide retailers.

The plight of residents of the coastal areas of Lagos State over consistent danger faced as the shorelines erodes further, was brought to the fore in a marathon race they oganised at Lekki beach to draw attention to the growing menace. Chiemelie Ezeobi writes
Without doubt, the eroding shoreline in the coastal areas of Lagos State is a concern for its residents. Lagos State had been flooded before. Lives have also been lost to the floods. In the face of the incessant rainfalls, fears are rife and so also is the call for drastic measures to be put in place by the appropriate authorities to stem the tide.
Although climate change has been a major reason for the surge according to the experts, there are also some human activities behind the climate change. For instance, the Lagos waters have scores of abandoned shipwrecks that now obstruct the free flow of water. This, environmental experts warned that there is an impending doom, if prompt actions are not taken. "It would trigger a huge devastating loss to the entire area," says Desmond Makekodunmi.
Shipwrecks which prevents the normal flow of water and causing erosion instead of even distribution of sand along the shorelines is blamed for the continuous degradation of the coastal areas over the years.
The residents of Lekki, one of the coastal areas that dot the Lagos Island have never been silent, they have protested to the government of Lagos State in a 'save our soul' message over the eroding of about 100 meters of the beach area within the last one year.
Led by renowned Environmental Rights Activist and Convener, Save Lekki Coast (SLC), Mr. Desmond Majekodunmi, the protesters had placards that read; 'Disaster looms in Lekki; Mr. President, please save our soul; water no get enemy but nature dey vex and Lekki free flood disaster zone among several others.'
Despite the numerous promises that were made by both the Federal and State Government, the residents who spoke to THISDAY over the weekend during a visit to the Lekki Beach, said there has been no concrete action from the government.
To reinforce the need for strategic measures in the coastal areas as well as draw government's attention to the area, the Maiden edition of the Lekki Beach Marathon was organised and held at the Lekki Beach.
Conceptualised by the founder of Community Agenda for Peace, a non-governmental organization, Mr. Philip Oguesi in partnership With Majekodunmi with support from RIG, a communications firm in Lagos, the exercise had scores of youths who ran through the length and breadth of the sandy shores. As provided by the RIG, the winners in the male category went home with cash prices of N75, 000, N50, 000 and N25, 000, a galaxy tablet, a C17 phone and G8 phone shared amongst the the first, second and third persons respectively.
According to Majekodunmi, the beach marathon was just one of the ways to draw attention to the area. Henoted that the marathon also helped celebrate the green independence of Nigeria, but however said that the bottom line was to advocate for support over the scourge of the ocean erosion along the Lagos shorelines.
"The Lagos coast is being seriously threatened by the erosion caused by man's activity which started over 80 years ago with the construction of the Bar Beach and lighthouse beach groins by the British Colonial Government to protect the natural ports of Apapa and Marina.
Since then, it has been tales of woes for communities along our coast. They have not even helped matters with their incessant sand digging and removal of thousands of tons of protective sea shells. This erosion scenario has been exacerbated with dozens of shipwrecks stranded on our coast and of course more violent sea movement and sea rise occasioned by climate change, " he said.
Feeling nostalgic, he recalled the past when wonderful shows were held at the beach with thousands of people having fun under the coconut trees. Sadly, he said the same cannot hold true today because the shorelines are practically gone.
Majekodunmi, said the area is worse hit each time the rains come down, while lamenting that flooding is considered a big threat to the lives of inhabitants and properties scattered in the Lekki area.
"Very soon Lekki and other coastal areas with all the monumental investments will be run over by water if urgent steps are not taken to save the shorelines," he declares. He advocated that the Federal Government should join hands with the Lagos State Government and immediately start building a coastal defense system such as the Great Blue Sea Wall.
Although he admitted that same has started at the Bar Beach with the Atlantic City Project, he stressed that it needs to be extended down to the other coastlines to avoid disasters of unimaginable proportions.For Oguesi, the idea to start a beach marathon to reinforce awareness for the environment stemmed from the need to prevent a similar re-occurrence of the disaster that happened in Alpha and Kuramo Beaches recently.
He said, "Our NGO is basically advocacy-inclined especially in peace building. So we volunteered to use this platform to advocate and appeal to the government to heed to the cry of those living in the coastlines.
"I remember in the 70s, before you get to the shoreline, you would walk miles upon miles but sadly, that is not so today. It might get worse and unless a strategic and drastic action plan is formulated, these places might not be in existence in the near future."
In an interview with THISDAY, Mr. Philip Latilo whose organisation is the major sponsor of th event explained that the reason his organisation supported the marathon race is to show commitment to protection of lives.
According to him, RIG bought into the idea because it is youth-inclined, environmentally-friendly and people-oriented. He said, "We stand for making our youths employable and that is one of the arms of our business. We train them in ICT and make them employable by either absorbing them or fixing them somewhere where they can be happy. It is no gainsaying that for any business to thrive, there has to be an enabling environment."
We partnered to make this happen because we are not here just to create wealth for ourselves, but rather for the entire society. We believe that when the awareness is created on the state of the coastlines, those responsible for it will pick up the gauntlet."
Also speaking, the Baale (traditional ruler) of Okun Alfa, Mr.Yusuf Atewolara told THISDAY that they are calling on the three tiers of government to save the residents of the area. He noted that work has been done the Bar Beach and requested for the extension of same to other beaches.
Since their properties and families are at risk, he urged the government and other authorities to expedite action on the removal of the shipwreck as they obstruct the receding ocean surge. He lamented that lives as well as properties worth millions of naira had already been lost to the fast encroaching sea.
While lauding the initiative, a resident of the area, Mr. Erekaye Osho, stated that they were quite handicapped in tackling the degradation. "We are facing a very huge challenge that portends great danger for those of us living along the coastlines. We are calling on the government to come to our rescue because we stand the risk of losing our lives as well as our properties," he said.

Written by Melissa Wallack and Jason Keller
Directed by Tarsem Singh
Starring Julia Roberts, Lily Collins and Armie Hammer
The Queen: Snow must do what snow does best - fall.
The story of "Snow White" is one of the most beloved of all time. The Brothers Grimm fairy tale, in which a beautiful, young princess becomes the focus of envy of an evil Queen, and is cast out of her kingdom, has not only endured for centuries, but has also heavily influenced the princess archetype we have come to adopt, for better or for worse. It is an imaginative story that includes mining dwarves, magic mirrors and a kiss so powerful it can break any spell. It is exemplary of what is considered classic and Snow's story is now ready to reach a new generation in MIRROR, MIRROR, a modern mess, I mean, interpretation, that seems determined to ensure future generations want nothing to do with this timeless tale.
Under the supposedly unique directorial vision of Tarsem Singh (IMMORTALS), MIRROR, MIRROR is a grand and elaborate affair. A castle sits upon a mountain ledge and is filled with thrones made of giant shells, unicorn shaped moldings and people as chess pieces, with majestic ships upon their heads instead of hats. The costume work is incredible (executed by the late Singh regular, Eiko Ishioka) and, like of all Singh's work, the overall visual picture is certainly striking. Unfortunately, the visual style is not the only thing MIRROR, MIRROR shares in common with Singh's past work. Singh has become, like Tim Burton, a go to director for outlandish visuals and, while his pictures are mostly dazzling, if not derivative of each other, he rarely spends any time on story and character development. It doesn't matter how pretty the whole thing is when what's happening isn't at all compelling. Also, I don't consider dwarves on stilts to be original, just ridiculous
MIRROR, MIRROR spends more time with the woman looking into the mirror, instead of the woman the mirror speaks of. With Julia Roberts playing The Queen, it isn't at all surprising that the story revolves more around her antics than that of the original title character, played by fresh face, Lily Collins. Roberts certainly does seem to be enjoying herself a great deal, and despite her faux British accent dropping in and out at all times, it can be fairly entertaining to watch her be bad for a change. That said, I'm not sure Roberts playing a demanding Queen is that much of a stretch for her. Still, the cast itself make MIRROR, MIRROR a passable experience, one that will likely appeal more to children than their adult accompaniment. Passable is a far cry from timeless though.
PS. Parents, just do me one favour, please; if you do bring your kids to see this, please make sure they see Walt Disney's SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARVES at some point. They should know what the story is actually supposed to be like.

Information Minister Lewis G. Brown has admonished the Judiciary and Legislative Branches of government to assist in making the fight against corruption workable.
Minister Brown observed that corruption is a serious undermining factor to Liberia's economic growth, stressing that corruption fight requires collective efforts.
He said as the Executive Branch strides to tackle corruption, it was critically important that the other two branches complement such effort by ensuring that there are enough instruments to fight corruption.
The Information Minster spoke Monday when he proxied for President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf at celebration of International Anti-Corruption Day.
He pointed out that the Presidency provides strategic direction and offers the moral guidance to the fight against corruption, and as such, it was important for the Legislature and Judiciary to complement the effort of the executive to make such fight workable.
He wants the Legislature to consider the passage of the Code of Conduct to ensure that people accused of corruption are dealt with.
He said as the Legislature makes these anti-corruption laws, the Judiciary must explore what he calls "outside the box option" to fast track corruption related cases.
Minister Brown, on behalf of President Sirleaf, reaffirmed the government's continued support to various anti-corruption institutions in the country.
In remarks, the Executive Chairperson of the Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC) Cllr. Francis Johnson-Allison commended the government for its political will to the fight against corruption.
Cllr. Allison said the establishment of the Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission speaks to the willingness of the government to fight corruption.
The celebration of anti-corruption day provides an opportunity for all organizations and individuals worldwide to create awareness about corruption and promote anti-corruption activities.
This year's International Anti-Corruption Day was celebrated in Liberia under the theme: "War against Corruption in the Education Sector; Your No Counts."

Video of The Day: Flight Of The Conchords: A Texan Odyssey
While I've been killing time at work, I came across this post on Brooklyn Vegan. They posted the 45 minute documentary below that The Flight Of The Conchords made when they traveled to SXSW in 2006. The post also included this photo:
What is especially hilarious about the photo is that those two folks that FOTC are pointing to are actually ex-ATLiens, and the one on the right was my roommate a few years ago. Right before this happened, we had all become obsessed with the FOTC HBO special and it was a big deal when they sent us this photo after SXSW. Anyway, that randomness gave me a laugh. You should really watch this doc, though, because it will make you laugh also:

Live Review: Bonnaroo 2007
We took a 16 car envoy from Atlanta to the event. We had some issues keeping everyone together, but at the end of about a 4 hour wait to get in early Thursday afternoon, we somehow managed to get everyone at the same camp. After setting up in Camp Han Solo, we got to drinking pretty hard and exploring the campgrounds before heading to see the music of the night. Upon entering Centeroo, we were held up in an extremely slow moving line to get in through security. The security didn't really seem to be checking people particularly hard, but they were very slow. Complaints about security would be a theme shared by many people over the weekend, but everyone in our entourage would only be minorly inconvenienced by it. I started out the night checking out the NBA Finals in the Cinema Tent, and then going to see The National. I have to say I thought they were downright awful. We stuck around for about half of it, and it got a big thumbs down from me. Next we watched Dubconscious in the Troo Music Lounge, which was pretty good but not really my bag. The best show of the night we caught would be Rodrigo y Gabriela. Really cool acoustic guitar stuff. On my way back to my camp to do more drinking, I checked out the Yard Dogs Road Show at the Bonna Rouge tent and I thought that was really interesting.
Friday started off with me checking out Tortoise. I thought this was a really solid set from them and enjoyed it a lot, especially them doing Seneca, my favourite tune of theirs, for the encore. This is one of the few sets that have already emerged on the torrents and you can download it here:
Tortoise 2007-06-15 Bonnaroo Music Festival. This Tent. (FLAC)
I stayed at the stage and managed to get front row for Hot Chip. This was one of my favourite shows of the weekend. They did really different renditions of stuff off of The Warning. I'm a big fan of organic dance music, and these guys are on top of that game. Some phlogs:
I briefly checked out the beginning of The Roots and then went to pregame for what would be the best show of the weekend, Tool. Unfortunately for me, I ended up getting too blotto and I blacked out halfway through the already legendary set complete with crazy visuals and a guest appearance jamout with Tom Morello. Hopefully one of the other Ohmpark folks who actually saw the entire thing will do a review for it later this week as I don't really have much to offer except it blew my mind. After regaining consciousness later on in the night, I went to see DJ Shadow. He was good but was the same exact thing I had seen recently in Atlanta and it seemed to pale in comparison to the Tool show. Plus Lateef The Truthspeaker is horrible and I had to leave when he came on. I caught the STS9 encore before heading back to the campgrounds and staying up until sunrise.
Saturday day seemed to be a ton of mediocre shows for me. I bounced around from Dr. Dog, to The Slip, to Regina Spektor, to Gogol Bordello, to Damien Rice, to Fountains Of Wayne. None of them were bad, but none of them really drew me in. The Warren Haynes interview at the Sonic Stage was pretty cool as you got to listen to him talk about the history of him and the Allman Brothers Band and Gov't Mule. After all of that though, it was time for Ween. I've seen these guys many times and have never really loved them hardcore, but for this show they just brought it, and the crowd for the show was going insane. I would have never expected it at the beginning of the weekend, but I think this ended up being my favourite show of the 'roo. Saturday night we went to see The Police, like just about every single person at the festival, and it was a bit of a let down for me. I don't know if maybe my expectations were too high or what, but it just seemed really underwhelming. I'm glad i got to see them, but I definitely wouldn't go see them again. Late night, I opted to check out Girl Talk over the Flaming Lips extravaganza that most everyone else caught. The Girl Talk show was a great dance party with a stage full of random folks getting down. After that I saw some of the Gov't Mule set, but my memory is pretty hazy at this point so I don't have a lot to say about it. Although I did not go see them, the Sasha and Digweed set would be the only late night set of the weekend that would creep into dawn.
On Sunday, we went extremely early to catch the Flight Of The Conchords. The 2 hours sitting in the hot sun were a high price to pay, but I'm glad to have seen these guys. Demetri Martin opened for them in the Comedy Tent. He was ok, but he seemed to be trying out a lot of new stuff, and not all of it was that great. The FOTC took the stage, they did a set consisting of older tunes, a couple off of the first HBO episode, and a few I didn't recognize. They were good, but it was hard to hear what they were saying at times, and the songs i didn't already know didn't seem as good to me as the others. They ended with a version of Albi the Racist Dragon featuring Demetri Martin on harmonica that was pretty cool.
After that i was off to catch the extremely jazzy Ratdog set. Always good stuff. Next up was The Decemberists show. I had been wanting to catch these guys forever and they were impressive. A heavy dose of The Crane Wife plus some other great gems. After that I went to see Wilco, and they did one of the best sets I've ever see them do. You can tell now that the nu-Wilco line-up has finally come into their own and they were on fire. If you get a chance to check them out tonight in the ATL, I highly recommend you do so. My final show of the weekend would be the White Stripes, who were good but seemed a little stale to me. They just seem to lacking something and i'm not sure what. Maybe it had to do with the extremely packed crowd and me being so far away, but it didn't impress me. Check it out for yourself:
The White Stripes 2007-06-17 Bonnaroo Which Stage
Overall, 2007 ranked fairly low among the other years for me personally, but that's not to say it wasn't unbelievably awesome, because it always is. I think I'm still coughing up dust. I feel like despite the move away from the Jamband heavy line-ups of the early days, they still don't have the quantity of this decades best artists that Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Pitchforkfest boast. The biggest change this year would be the absolute clamp down on non-official vendors and the banning of sales of glass pieces. i have to say I do not like this development and I believe it was the final nail in the coffin of this festival being significantly married to the Jamband community. I knew from the first year on that eventually Bonnaroo would either get shut down or get more controlled, and so I do not dismay as much as the Bonnaroo haters out there on the mainstreaming of the fest, but the old days are officially gone. On the bright side, I would not expect Bonnaroo to get much worse in this way and so if this is what Bonnaroo now is, then I have no problem with it and will continue to attend as long as they keep putting together great line-ups, but I'm gonna have to go check out another hippie fest once in a while to get that part of the experience that is almost completely gone at the 'roo. Here's some facts and figures from the weekend:
Ornette Coleman suffered a heat stroke while on stage.
One man died this year bringing the alltime Bonnaroo death count to 6.
The Coffee County Sheriffs reported 47 arrests over the weekend.
Bonnaroo grossed an estimated $17 million, breaking it's own record from last year as the highest grossing festival in the world.
Setlists of the weekend are being compiled here.

I Heart HBO
Last weekend, I went to the Flight Of The Conchords premiere show hosted at the Doo Gallery by Kissatlanta and watched the first episode of their new show on HBO. It was really good and the showing was a whole bunch of fun. Free booze, free food, free t-shirts. If you haven't seen it already, you can watch the first episode here or as it airs on HBO next weekend. Here's a video clip from it:
In addition to being obsessed with music, I also have some spare time for some other obsessions and HBO original TV shows are one of them. Sunday nights at my house we turn down all the lights, turn up the volume, and beat anyone down who talks while we watch some of the greatest TV ever made. Sure, HBO does occasionally put out some garbage (ie The Comeback), but when it gets things right, nothing can touch it.
Arguably HBO's most successful TV show, The Sopranos, comes to an end tomorrow night. Despite many complaints of this two-part 6th season being "too slow"(although i would argue that The Sopranos was always slow to build up action; It's been a dialogue driven show from the beginning), These last few weeks have been some of their best. I'm interested to see how things will end, will Tony die, go to jail, or wake up and realize he really is Kevin Finnerty?
With this show ending, though, HBO has some new stuff coming ,like the Flight Of The Conchords show and a new season of Big Love, and I'm hoping that they lives up to the Home Box Office legacy. The show I'm most excited about airs right after The Sopranos finale, John From Cincinnati. Deadwood is probably my second favourite TV show of all time despite the fact i normally hate westerns, so having its creator, David Milch, leave the show without finishing it because he was so excited to do this show, based on surfing and aliens (things i can really relate to), has got my expectations pretty high.
The moral of the story is be watching tomorrow night and if you're on the fence about getting HBO, my suggestion is you do it, it's well worth the extra change. Here's some HBO related vids:

A Weekend In The City
It's a great weekend for shows in the ATL. Today is all about Bloc Party. First, you can catch them for free doing a DJ set in Criminal Records at 6pm and later that night they will be at The Tabernacle with Maccabees and The Noisettes. While you are at Criminal Records, you can pick up the Whirlyball 7″, which features songs from Deerhunter, Selmanaires, Carbonas, and The Coathangers. The purchase of that record will also gain you entrance to the show Friday night featuring all of those bands at the Whirlyball place in the 'burbs. I saw Mogwai there last year and it is an interesting venue. If you have a ticket to the soldout Kings Of Leon show at The Tabernacle Friday night, you will get to see the much better bands on the bill, Snowden and The Features. Another great Friday night show you could catch is Silver Lakes, Wax Fang, and Slushco at The Earl. Late night after all of the great music, Decatur Social Club is celebrating its 3-year anniversary and it looks to be really crazy.
Saturday and Sunday you should head down to The Virginia Highlands for Summerfest. The Selmanaires and Anna Kramer will be at Lenny's Saturday night while Mitch Easter, Tim Lee 3, and The Preakness will be at The Earl. I think I'll be checking oujt the Screening of the new Flight Of The Conchords HBO show sponsored by Kissatlanta at The Doo Gallery. As you might remember, I love these guys and am excited to see them at Bonnaroo. If you're interested in attending, it is free, but you must RSVP. If you're into hip-hop, you should go to The Masquerade Saturday night for Sage Francis, Buddy Wakefield, Buck 65, and Alias.
Ok, how about some tracks to preview:

Newly added to Bonnaroo, this New Zealand duo is sort of like Tenacious D, but good. Check out one of their shows:

Market theme is a Builder child theme, and uses Builder framework. Perhaps you want to check some of the Builder videos and you will most likely find out that Builder allows you to build any layout you want, on a per site, or even per page basis. If you view the theme demo, check the "Layouts" section, which is showing just (!) a couple of sample layouts, the possibilities are unlimited.
WordPress also allows you to set any page as the homepage of your site, that is standard functionality.
Builder has a stylemanager that allows you to make simple changes to your site, such as fonts,. colours etc. For more complicated modifications, your purchase comes with access to the Builder support forums, where moderators will help out with such changes (Note: complete redesigns are not included in our support, but general changes are not an issue).
Regarding "fast". There are just too many factors to be able to say anything about that. Your hosting company, (number of) plugins you are using, number of products etc. As far as Builder is concerned, we have no indication that Builder is "slow", nor have we had complaints over the past 3 years that we are selling Builder.
hope this helps,

By signing SB 1070 into law, Governor Jan Brewer has put the jobs of our members in Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert and Pima County at risk. For the employees represented by SEIU Arizona, this bill could not have come at a worse time.
Public service employees in counties and cities across Arizona are facing pay and benefit cuts, furloughs and layoffs as our employers struggle to balance budgets that have been wrecked by the recession.
SEIU Arizona chapter leaders have been working long and hard with management to find ways to help balance municipal and county budgets without losing jobs. We believe that preserving jobs - even with difficult temporary sacrifices - is better than losing them.
In our toughest budget year yet, SEIU Arizona members are fighting hard and making progress: Holding down health care cost increases in Pima County. Working to restore 30 to 50 jobs in Tempe. Supporting cost-saving, revenue-generating options in all chapters. But budgets for next year in Gilbert and Tempe await the will of the voters this May on questions about local sales tax increases. And Chandler and Pima members will likely see health care costs increase next year.
So we are on rocky ground any way we look at it. And we will be for some time after the 2010-11 budgets are approved.
Now throw this into the mix: Police and Sheriff Department employees across Arizona will be required to enforce costly new provisions of SB 1070. So city and county public safety budgets will have to accommodate these new requirements--while their total budgets are being reduced. It's a classic case of an "unfunded mandate," at a time when funds have dried up.
SB 1070 puts public service jobs at risk
Arizona's economic health will be better able to withstand boom and bust cycles when it becomes less dependent on sales tax revenues. Until that day comes, however, sales taxes will continue to be a crucial part of our economy. Whatever our opinions on the immigration issue may be, the national and international condemnation of SB 1070 has already led to lost convention and tourism revenues that will further harm our state's efforts to put this recession behind us.
Overburdened police departments, swamped justice systems, an unfunded re-deployment of resources at the expense of the residents of cities and counties who will continue to pay for services that fewer public service employees struggle to deliver ... These are reasons enough for SEIU Arizona to be against SB 1070.
Immigration reform is a complicated issue. It's also a federal issue. The state "solution" signed by our Governor just creates more problems for SEIU members and our local communities.
Losing valuable public service jobs in Arizona to pay for immigration "enforcement" may be an unintended consequence of this bad public policy, but it will be a consequence nonetheless.
