Inside Coldplays Intimate Yahoo! Music Taping: What You Wont See
Photo: Yahoo
When Coldplay took the stage at New Yorks Hammerstein Ballroom on October 22nd to film a performance for Nissan Live Sets on Yahoo! Music, the 200 fans in attendance found themselves in the midst of an unusually intimate set the Ballroom usually holds 2,000 or more people, and Chris Martin and Co. were in the midst of an arena tour. The performance and two-part question and answer session premiere online today in 13 countries, but not everything made the final cut, so heres a rundown of what Rock Daily saw behind the scenes:
Frontman Chris Martin was riding the wave of the Presidential election at the late October shoot, joking about Joe the Plumber and quipping that he was sweating more than a John McCain adviser as he took off his overshirt midway through the performance.
While Coldplay buddy Jay-Z watched the entire set from a seat in the venues opera boxes (it was easy to spot his head enthusiastically bopping during the entire set), he didnt join the band on stage to turn Lost! into Lost+.
Beyoncé arrived midway through the taping, taking her seat next to Jay-Z during the bands performance of Yellow.
Coldplay released their butterfly confetti shower at the end of Lovers in Japan (a staple for their arena tour) but probably didnt anticipate having to restart the song because of a keyboard missing from the stage.

Nissan Live Sets Blogger: Coldplay
Coldplay qualify as a VIBa Very Important Band. Everyone says so.
According to Wikipedia which is never wrong, of course the Brit quartets most recent album, Vida la Vida or Death and All His Friends, has been the number-one-selling album in 36 countries around the world. Theyve won Grammys, wed Academy Award winners, and worked to Make Trade Fair with Oxfam.
But the cool, unexpected thing? They rock. And Coldplay doesnt act like a VIB. But they do sound like one. Who knew? Apparently people in 36 countries around the world. But more on all that later.
As Coldplays tour bus idles on Manhattans grimy 33rd Street ahead of a 4:15 p.m. soundcheck at New Yorks Hammerstein Ballroom, those millions of people arent mobbing the bandoblivious commuters rush below the buses darkened windows on their way to nearby Penn Station. Inside the venue, some of the crew have already been working for 13 hourssince the 3 a.m. load-in time. But when youre a VIB, your dues have been paid, and, if youre singer Chris Martin, you walk onstage in a turtleneck, smiling, and begin discussions with the crew and band guitarist Johnny Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman and drummer Will Championabout new songs like Strawberry Swing, before sitting down at an upright piano to soundcheck Clocks.
By 7:10, its the calm before the storm at Hammerstein. Fans are lined up down 34th Street, the crew are downstairs eating, and Coldplay, clad in their militaristic/Sgt. Pepper-style jackets, are mounting numerous stairs to a grimy room to do a quick Yahoo photo shoot. The amenable foursome pose like pros, joke around then ask the small assembled throng pointed, informed questions about Nissan and Yahoo. Then its thanks all around and back to the bus for a few minutes before their grand entrance to the now-packed ballroom.
For me, the venue has been the scene of an odd variety of shows. Under its Sistine Chapel-like ceiling Ive borne witness to everything from the-band-formerly-known as Guns N Roses (Axl Rose and band du jour) to a Tommy Hilfiger fashion show to Megadeths Gigantour to Wolfmother all great in their own ways. The gorgeous, multi-tiered venue was born as the Manhattan Opera House, built by Oscar Hammerstein in 1906. Its a lot of history to live up to, and will Coldplay manage to do it? Full confession: Ive never seen the band live. Liked them as a very casual fan, knew the radio hits, but figured it was too late for me and them. I presumed that critical acclaim, movie star wives and seemingly too-earnest attention to causes is not rock (dude). But, so far, seeing them around the venue and in soundcheck, theyve been super-cool, down to earth, and surprisingly funny and irreverent. So color me pleased-so-far .and hopeful. Fingers crossed.
Its close to show time when the backstage double doors swing open and three men and a woman are ushered in, one bulky guy in a black suit with an earpiece. Upon closer inspection, he seems to be a bodyguard, and the body he is guarding belongs to Jay-Z (sans Beyonce). Coldplay come through the backstage doors from the street, followed by cameras, greeting Jay-Z effusively, as he entreats Chris Martin to do a good show.
Its advice the band heeds, kicking off an energetic, commanding 11-song set with Life in Technicolor, Violet Hill and Clocks, where Martin sounds his most Bono-like (for better or worse, depending on your perspective). The percussive pulse of the bouncy Lost! is a highlight, and Chris humor kicks in, as he jokes to the crowd between songs, weve all had mistakes with prostitutes, lets face it, in a reference to former NY governor Eliot Spitzer. Animated and charming, songs like 42 with Martin on piano, managed to be both grand and intimate, and of course, their 2000 breakthrough hit Yellow had the audience singing alongand Jay-Z too, from his perch in a VIP balcony.
After the show, the band further proves that VIBs are just regular folk too, breaking the fourth wall with fans lucky enough to be in attendance. Instead of the prescribed stools, Coldplay sit casually on the edge of the stage as the audience park themselves on the floor for a question and answer period. The foursome field queries and banter easily with the starstruck crowd: We could tell you a great story about transvestites, but I dont think thats why were here! Another audience member stands with a question, and Martin acts mock-shocked, looking at the baseball hat- wearing questioner, quipping, uh, oh, its Fred Durst! Martin also jokes about some alleged lawsuits against the band surrounding Viva La Vida, saying, I cant tell you who is suing us, but it rhymes with Bo Mastriani!
Martin may appear to be a VSS (Very Serious Singer), but Coldplay is not a (BPB) boring, pretentious band. Dare I say they rockas people and musicians? I admit it: I was wrong. I had low expectations, but this Coldplay experience made me a believer. They deserve the accolades, and forget comparisons to Oasis, U2 and other VIBs. (Uh oh, does this mean I have to reconsider my opinion of the aforementioned?! Ugh.) Well, while Im not going to paper my bedroom wall with Coldplay posters, there is one thing I can now safely say: Viva La Coldplay!

Anyone have a good vid (quality wise) of Death And All His Friends from this concert - the ones on youtube are really poor quality.written in graffiti on a bridge in a park;

Braking in a Turn

Standing up shouldnt even be considered the option since that almost guarantees a crash.
Braking won't automatically throw you on the ground.
An other issue with this whole thread is that "standing up your bike" will happen regardless of riders action. Most bikes have a geometry which will stand up. Very few bikes are capable of braking without standing up. Only is slippery conditions you have to stand the bike up before braking.
You can play with the physics of this at low speed, ya know, just to see what happens for yourself when you apply the rear brake. The bike will naturally try to go toward the vertical when just the REAR brake is applied during a turn.
Don't believe it? While in a low-speed turn, drag the rear a little and you can feel the bike lift away from the turn (i.e. if turning hard left the bike will try to lift toward the right, toward the vertical). I'm no physicist, but I've been riding for 50 years and it works on all kinds of bikes regardless the type of suspension, speed, road surface, etc. Just don't lock the brake. In a low speed maneuver if you slip the clutch and apply a bit of throttle (so you don't stall the engine - do that and you'll fall like a rock
) while dragging a little rear brake (NO front brake
) the bike will be very stable even in a full-lock low speed turn. Using this technique I can turn even my RT or GS in a circle at full steering lock within the width of two standard parking spaces.
The same physics are in action at higher speeds, but with more variables thrown in for excitement (inertia of the wheels, traction/tire flex, ass-pucker syndrome (the "third hand"
), frame flex, suspension, rider position (affects the center of gravity), etc. At speed you can even throw in some significant front braking to help. This is why I will never own a bike with linked brakes; I want to control each one individually and not have some computer doing it for me and quite likely fucking it up.
I learned this technique years ago while racing motocross/enduros and competing in trials, it really works in low-traction settings and works even better on asphalt. Practice, practice, practice!

Skaneateles Town parks employees Sue Murphy and Gene LaForte were applauded and presented with gifts at the Aug. 18 town board meeting for the job they have done during an incredibly busy summer and over the past year since their responsibilities and their department was created.
"We all appreciate what you did and that you worked very hard," said Town Council Member Nancy Murray, while presenting the kudos to Murphy.
But what exactly does the Town Parks Department do, and why do its employees deserve praise?
"Most people in town don't understand what we do," said Murphy, whose official title is administrative aide liaison to the town board and does the day-to-day scheduling of facilities and events and coordinating of projects. "It's far more than just mowing lawns."
The Town Parks Department is in charge of planning, upkeep, supervising and coordinating of everything that goes on in Austin Park, the Clift park public swimming area, the town-run boat launch, the town Playday program, Skaneateles Falls park, the Charlie Major Nature Trail, and this year the running of the Austin Park Ice Rink.
LaForte is the park labor crew leader and oversees the seasonal and permanent park laborers. Both Murphy and LaForte are the town representatives for the Farmers' Market committee, which is comprised of vendors and works to promote the local farmers' market which was this year moved to Austin Park.
This department and its numerous responsibilities were created last year when the Skaneateles Town Board transitioned operations of the Skaneateles Community Center to the YMCA. This was done in order to "refocus" the town's efforts on the various parks and facilities under the town's management.
"It's worked really well for the first year. We've been sort of feeling our way through, and it's been a little bit of a learning experience, but so far it's all gone smoothly," said Town Supervisor Terri Roney.

Firm supports CBN's cashlite policy
THE cashlite policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has received a boost as Maltina, the non-alcoholic beverage drink has hinted of plans to reinforce the policy in its ongoing National Consumers Promotion tagged: "Maltina Sharing Happiness Promo."
The long list of exciting gifts as rewards for consumers includes branded Automated Tellers Machine-ATM cards that will contain the winning amount. Cash categories slated for this year's promotion are, N1, 000,000 X 5 cash in (Maltina branded ATM cards), N100, 000 X 15 cash in (Maltina branded ATM cards), N5, 000 X 4,000 cash in (Maltina branded ATM cards) all in a bid to carry less cash around.
Justifying the neeed for the promo, Tokunbo Adodo, Marketing Manager, Non-Alcoholic Drinks, who fielded questions from journalists at the press conference to flag-off the campaign at the company's headquarters in Lagos, the choice to use ATM cards, said it is aimed at complementing the CBN directive of cashless policy and safety. "The reason why this ATM method was adopted is to ensure that we as a responsible organisation comply with the CBN's directives of a cashless society, which in a way allows the winners to withdraw conveniently at anytime they choose. Also to ensure that cash winnings like others gifts are safely protected."
The promo which runs for eight weeks, from April 2nd to May 25th, 2012, is the first in the malt category to give out five brand new houses in high brow area of Lagos.
Mr. Yusuf Ageni Corporate Affairs Adviser, who was represented by Mr. Edem Vindah Media and Public Affairs Manager, Nigerian Breweries, said the alphabet code combination crown corks which would win the grand prize of a luxury home would consist of the following letters: S – M – I – L- E.
"In order to win the grand prize," according to Ageni, "a consumer is expected to collect a combination of crown corks that spell the word S-M-I-L-E. Maltina shall be giving out a total of five houses. Under the letter 'M' crown corks; there will be special differentiated alphanumeric codes. These codes qualify consumers for weekly raffle draws. The five houses will be given out in three weekly raffle draws as follows: 1st Raffle- 2 houses, 2nd Raffle- 2 houses, 3rd Raffle- 1 house."

More remixes than we know what to do with
Check out this deep and deliciously-stomping remix of Dilate's 'Vertical' by French producer Gordon (as premiered on The Drone last Monday). We're lucky to have him performing with us at our Paris show on Thursday:
Also, the bun-scuncingly tuncing Olerton remix of 'Glass Lake' is now available to buy from all the usual places, including but not limited to the Vessels Bandcamp.
If you like it deep and weird then this may just tickle your schnitzel…
…similarly the wattle-shaking Snasen remix of 'Elliptic' is now also on sale on our Bandcamp – If you've listened to 'Elliptic' but often thought that the end of it never felt enough like the denouement of an eighties cop movie, then this is probably for you…
… in other news Lee went and made a corking Vessels remix of 'Deep Field' by Barcelona based Rob Clouth, which has made it onto the 12″ vinyl release of the tune, out on the Berlin-based Leisure System label.

Atlanta Hawks forward Ivan Johnson, who's become something of a sensation with amateur comedians on Twitter, tells the AJC that he's not intimidated by NBA players because he has no clue who many of them are. Awesome: "Forgive Ivan Johnson if he doesn't know exactly who he is playing against. It didn't matter to the 27-year-old rookie when he was in training camps with the Hawks trying to make their roster. It doesn't matter now when he's making an impact at the NBA level. 'My thing is, I don't really watch basketball so I don't know who anybody is,' Johnson said after sinking two free throws with 4.6 seconds left to give the Hawks a 93-91 victory over the Timberwolves Saturday.

text: Ellsworth family seeks help for girl with a "hidden disability" May 6, 2013 by Steve Fuller on News Danyelle Wallace (right) and her brother Blake are both 11-year-old Ellsworth residents who enjoy taking karate lessons. Both also suffer from fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), and their adoptive family is working to raise money for a service dog for Danyelle to help address her FASD symptoms. ELLSWORTH — A local mother hopes to get a trained service dog for her 11-year-old daughter, who has fetal alcohol syndrome. Related Posts Dancing with Ellsworth Stars Set for Saturday at The Grand Local Filmmaker to Make Zombie Flick Historical Society Needs Help Deanna Wallace Douglas calls her adoptive daughter Danyelle Wallace's condition a "hidden disability," one the girl has had since she was born. "[Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders] refer to the whole range of effects that can happen to a person whose mother drank alcohol during pregnancy," according to The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For Danyelle, symptoms include severe separation anxiety, emotional meltdowns that can last for hours, difficulty relating to other children and a tendency to wander off. Douglas applied for a trained service dog from 4 Paws for her daughter last year and received approval in November. It costs the organization $22,000 to train a service dog, according to Douglas, and the family is asked to raise $13,000 to help pay those bills. The family began raising money in January, and recently received word that a man who heads another group in Ohio will give the family a grant of $6,500 when they raise the other half of the $13,000. Douglas's friend, Hortense Sarosi, will be hosting a fund-raiser at Denny's in Ellsworth from 5 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, May 7, to help the family reach its $13,000 goal. Other donations also will be accepted. For more information, call Douglas at 460-6075 or e-mail her at firstname.lastname@example.com. Find in-depth coverage of local news in The Ellsworth American.

Respond to Review of CLOSED: La Zucca Magica - The Magic Pumpkin
by jeikelen
Review: What a shame some people have had a bad time here! We went to Zucca Magica on one of our first dates, three years ago and have been back for romantic meals several times since, including last Friday (23 October 2009). It is always busy and I book well in advance. We love the atmosphere and the fact that the five courses are a surprise though we do agree that it would be good to have some salad accompanying the richer courses. The staff are friendly, welcoming and efficient. As a veggie of nearly 40 years (ouch!) I have to say that to go to a restaurant of such high quality and not even have to think about the ingredients is a real treat! But sorry vegans, this restaurant is not for you!

Minority-Serving Institutions
Minority Serving Institutions are themselves diverse, and policies and programs aimed at serving underrepresented groups should leverage these differences.
recipients, despite the fact that many are smaller than mainstream institutions and receive significantly fewer federal obligations for R&D and science and engineering. Much of their success is attributed to their mission to educate underrepresented minority students while providing a sensitive climate, role models, and emphases on teaching, peer support, mentoring, and service to their communities.

by Stanford, Craig B.
Publisher:Basic Books
Engaging, enlightening, and eloquent, Significant Others tells of our closest cousins and the scientists who study them. Author Craig B. Stanford is co-director of the Jane Goodall Research Center and knows as much as anyone about field research on the great ape. His prose combines a vivid, almost poetic descriptive sensibility with a refreshingly deadpan rationality too often missing from writings on endangered or threatened species. Covering a wide range of topics from tool use to evolutionary psychology to the controversy over language in nonhumans ("an intellectual turf game, poorly played"), Stanford still sticks unerringly to his thesis that field research of wild apes yields deep insights into human nature. His enthusiasm for the work shines in passages like this one:
In a mountain meadow dripping with dew, we're following a group of gorillas on their daily rounds. It's a raw day and the clouds are hanging above and beneath us. The gorillas climb a steep, fern-coated hill to a saddle, and we all tumble over the crest into a huge salad bowl of a valley that is greener than green.
As if to ensure that such words won't provoke a glut of fieldworker wannabes, he is careful to mention the long hours, boredom, and physical suffering he and his colleagues must endure to earn such rewards. The inevitable collision of science with politics is especially pronounced in war-ravaged central Africa, where most great-ape work is conducted, and Stanford speaks plainly about life during wartime and his subjects' too-real threat of extinction. Significant Others gives the reader a fresh respect for apes as apes--not stunted people, not lab-dwelling curiosities, but uniquely wonderful beings in their own right. Just like us. --Rob Lightner

I haven't seen much discussion about adding sources to nFS, so I thought I would share my experience in uploading some of my source information via a GEDCOM from PAF just to see what would happen.
I have tried to document my research using the process available in PAF, and in the case of sources on microfilm, include the microfilm numbers, etc. When I uploaded my sources from PAF, I noted the following problems. New FamilySearch has more fields, so some fields are blank. One field, Source Type, seems to default to "Other" because PAF doesn't have that field. I have to go in and change the source type for every source citation. Repository addresses are broken down so that city, state, country and zip codes are in separate fields in nFS, so I have to go in and copy and paste those items from the original general address field to ths specific fields. In many of the source entries I have looked at, the entire address was not transferred from PAF into nFS, so I have to go back to PAF and look up the address so that I can complete it in nFS. nFS does not have the option like PAF does of using the same source and/or repository in other entries, so entering sources into nFS directly is time-consuming. Uploading the information is somewhat better, but the above-mentioned changes have to be made.
Since we are being discouraged from uploading GEDCOMS of individuals already in nFS, does that mean we should take the thousands of hours needed to retype our sources into nFS, one by one, without the benefit of reusing the same source and repository? Will the new programs such as Family Insight give us any help with adding sources?

Verin and Jahanbakhsh each had goals on penalty kicks early in the second half.
Ricky Schmidt was busy in the Red Storm goal with 11 saves. Nate Capone finally put Saranac Lake on the board mid-way through the second half.
AuSable Valley 2, Saranac 1
CLINTONVILLE - Some late game heroics allowed the Patriots to prevail in yet another close game against Saranac Sept. 29 in CVAC boys soccer.
Shane Douglas netted the game-winning goal with 5:20 remaining in the second half off an assist from Kyle Sprague.
AuSable Valley's Alex Connor gave his team the lead 13 minutes into the second half with the assist by Nick Rhino, but the Chiefs' Kyle Erikson knotted the score 13 minutes later in a back-and-forth match. Saranac finished with a 10-9 advantage in shots.
Sean Pulsifer and Nate Casey both had strong efforts in the midfield for the Patriots. Goalkeeper Jeremy Wood nabbed eight saves for the win.
Plattsburgh 11, Lake Placid 0
LAKE PLACID - The Blue Bombers proved no match for the conference-leading Hornets in CVAC boys soccer Sept. 29.
Ethan Votraw and David Carpenter each had three goals for Plattsburgh as they raced to a 9-0 lead before the half. Votraw started the onslaught less than a minute into the game and had the hat trick by the nine-minute mark.
Willsboro 6, Keene 2
KEENE - The high-powered Willsboro offense proved too much for the Beavers in MVAC boys soccer Oct. 1.
Clay Sherman scored three goals and added an assist while Patrick Wells chipped in two goals and an assist to lead the Warriors, who held a 4-0 lead at the half. Brandon Porter also had a goal and an assist.
The Willsboro lead would climb to 6-0 before two quick goals by Jamie Kaltenback and Dylan Boyle put Keene on the board. Willsboro had outshot the Beavers 21-5 by the end of the match.

A source told Fox News earlier this week that since the Netwton school shooting, membership for the NRA has increased and is continuing to do so. An insider at the NRA said that based on his access to internal memos from the association's membership division, since the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, the NRA has registered an average of 8,000 new members a day. The source also revealed that both the number of individual contributions to the NRA and their average amount have increased significantly since the school massacre.

Good to see a true balance from the east-coast centric TV shows at work again. Nobody from SA, WA, Tasmania, or Northern Territory. Shame 10, Shame.

In watching the shorts on TV for this stuff I just don't get it why it has to be so dramatic when someone doesn't cook something to the judges liking. For Pete's sake....it's just a blimmin cooking show, but there again perhaps it's just the type of person that goes for this stuff.

Oh what a boring sounding bunch. Is this a last ditch effort to save the mundane Masterchef show? Giving this one a big miss.

To all the negative comments, go watch CSI or something else that's grime. I'm looking forward to this very much so!

I am so over the ads, and will not be watching this show. If possible, concept sounds even worse than the Junior Masterchef idea.

At least our professionals (with the exceptin of a couple) all have formalised training. The UK Masterchef Professionals anyone who is a cook including the Fish & Chip fry guy, can call themselves a chef. Not sure it will make our better though. These shows should be about how someone cooks not their personalities and Aus TV focuses on the personalities.

Are you ATGATT?

One day in; overwhelmingly ATGATT, or thereabouts.
A bit surprising - Given that the tops seems a bit contentious, and the subject of some long running threads, I would have expected a bit more of a spread, and a few more in the helmet, jacket and gloves group. As it is with 67 votes, well over 80% wear most or all of "the gear", or more.
But then ADVrider members are probably, in general, serious about their hobby, thus likely to invest in the gear that goes with it.
Here in these tropical parts, registered motorcycles outnumber cars by about three to one. Bikes are generally seen as just a way to get around, with 95% of them being sub 1/8th litre scoots. But even among the more "serious motorcyclists" with bigger machines, you would be hard pushed to find a single ATGATT.
A surprising amount of helmet compliance in the picture below.... probably a police checkpoint nearby that morning.
there are old motorcyclists and bold motorcyclists
but you seldom meet an old, bold motorcyclist
