Remember Me
So with newly minted New Zealand bassist Richard Hammond in tow,
Kimock, Mitch Stein, and Rodney Holmes resumed the sultry musical odyssey that unfolds each time SKB takes the stage. Only this time something was certainly different. The impeccable mixing of Danchik was only slightly missed and Hammond was competent and even won credibility among some SKB faithful. No, this was a difference in the overall direction this band is taking its music. While the sultry and soaring transcendence of Kimock's clear, clean tones were surely present, the music was edgier, darker, and notably trancy. The band has taken a clear step into the realm of electronica and, at least to the ears of this reviewer, the results so far are a mixed bag. Which is to say it worked wonderfully in some places and left little to be desired in others. All to be expected for something still new and evolving.
The music began at 9:40 pm in glorious fashion with Kimock wasting no
time locking into his zone with "Tongue and Groove." But soon thereafter the departures from SKB of yore began in earnest. Rodney "The Human Metronome" Holmes shined all night long and began what, I hope, will become a staple for this evolving SKB sound. He began many songs off by laying down some intense and energetic beats while Steve and Mitch noodle around the rhythm, joining in full force once Hammond and Holmes have locked up. A beautiful "Africa" spun itself out of this first drum intro jam. The "Tangled Hangers" that followed another drum intro jam was amazingly transcendent and perhaps
the highlight of the set. Things then started getting more experimental with "Long Form IV" rolling out of another Holmes intro. Kimock's searing guitar began to lead us through an abyss of space and ambiance that slowly built into an intense heavy metal type jam before finally resolving back into the dual guitar lead. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of "Long Form" was Rodney's use of a laptop computer and preprogrammed beats. It was very eye-opening to listen to the layered levels of beats and to hear how Rodney allowed the electronic to color the tone of the organic throughout the song.
The next tune was an all out experimentation called "New Loop Inc." Rodney again allowed the laptop to set the tone and following it up with a mean groove of his own. Hammond locked into a deep pocket with him that became even deeper as he too began looping his basslines on top of each other. Stein was also playing with some tech toys as Kimock alternated between powerchording and distortion effects. Some more seasoned Kimock fans looked confused during this segment while others were themselves deep into this trance, dancing their hearts out. The boys ended a set of risk-taking genre blending music by a slightly reworked version of "You're the One."
While the second set was more traditional SKB (with some exceptions)
there was still an obvious electronic tinge to everything they touched this night and I believe this will continue in the foreseeable future. "It's Up to You" was eagerly anticipated by many in the crowd and Kimock didn't disappoint as the set opened with this SKB classic. It's worth noting that many well-worn songs seem to have been re-examined and reworked in spots. A pattern that I noticed developing (especially in the more experimental, electronica pieces: "Long Form IV," "New Loop Inc.," "Moon People," and "Elmer's
Revenge") is Kimock laying his traditionally hot solo down and then a
segment of more open space and ambiance followed by metal jamming that
builds and intensifies and is finally brought back down to earth my Kimock returning to the melody.
Overall I left the show feeling fully satisfied. Sure, there were some disappointments but the risk-taking factor was ever present and it really seemed like these guys were enjoying themselves on stage. They have begun to really relish in the fact that they are able to push each other to limits not yet explored by the band. As long as SKB doesn't begin using electronica elements simply as props or toys on stage and ultimately create a sound that melds both old and new styles into something uniquely Kimockian, than I say all is well indeed for this band and it should be interesting to watch this tour unfold.

A new NASA giant-screen documentary on the future of human space travel was narrated by Sir Patrick Stewart.
The documentary is called Journey to Space.
When NASA's Orion Exploration Flight Test-1 (EFT-1) blasts off tomorrow, "Captain Kirk" will be going along for the ride.
Orion will "fly fifteen times farther out than the International Space Station before plummeting back to Earth to test its heat shield at speeds nearing what it would experience if it was returning from the moon. After re-entry, the Orion will deploy parachutes and then splash down in the Pacific Ocean, where it will be recovered by the Navy."
An exchange between NASA and William Shatner on Twitter brought smiles to fans of both.
Back in 2013, Shatner tweeted Astronaut Chris Hadfield, to ask if the astronaut was live-tweeting from space. "@WilliamShatner Yes, Standard Orbit, Captain," replied Hadfield. "And we're detecting signs of life on the surface."
A new design from NASA Physicist Harold White shows what a ship designed for faster-than-light travel might look like.
White teamed up with Artist Mark Rademaker to create a model which will look familiar to Star Trek fans.
William Shatner received an award from NASA on Saturday.
The award was presented to Shatner at his annual Hollywood Charity Horse Show.
Star Trek: The Next Generation's LeVar Burton has done a NASA YouTube public service announcement explaining the MAVEN mission.
The Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) mission will "explore Mars' climate history and gather clues about the question scientists have been asking for decades."
This morning, Damon Lindelof, Chris Pine, Alice Eve and John Cho joined astronauts Mike Finke, Kjell Lindgren (Houston), and Chris Cassidy (on the ISS) in an hour-long NASA broadcast in a "space bridge" webcast at Google+ Hangout.
J.J. Abrams, due to attend, was unable to do so, but submitted his intriguing question via taped video.
William Shatner and Wil Wheaton narrate the story of NASA's latest planetary science mission.
The video is called Grand Entrance and takes viewers from the Mars entry of the Curiosity rover, through descent and then after the landing on the "Red Planet."
In a case of life imitating art, NASA is trying to develop a tractor beam.
Researchers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center have received funding for a project to see if lasers can be used to capture stardust. The tests will be conducted on robotic space missions.
Nichelle Nichols appeared live from Kennedy Space Center this morning on CNN's American Morning Live show.
Kennedy Space Center is hosting Star Trek: The Exhibition this summer and Nichols' interview took place on the Bridge of the USS Enterprise that is part of that exhibition, but instead of her usual place at the communications console, she was interviewed sitting in the Captain's chair.
William Shatner provided the voiceover as Alexander Courage's original series theme song woke up the crew of STS-133 Discovery this morning.
The Star Trek theme song received the second-highest number of votes in NASA's "Space Rock" wake-up song public voting poll, in which fans chose from forty songs, with the two songs that received the highest number of votes to be played during STS-133 mission.
Exploring outer space isn't something that Leonard Nimoy wants to see limited to just movie-making.
While accepting the 2010 Douglas S. Morrow Public Outreach Award yesterday, Nimoy shared his thoughts on space exploration, and a famous Star Trek fan who just happens to run the country.
Amongst the items delivered by the Discovery space shuttle to the International Space Station earlier today, was a patch with a Star Trek connection.
The acronym for the NASA patch for the Window Observational Research Facility, a science equipment rack that will enable astronaut-tended and remote-controlled Earth-observation experiments, is the same as the name of Lt. Commander Worf, the Klingon seen on Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
In a move sure to delight Star Trek fans who are also NASA fans, NASA's crew poster for Shuttle Mission STS-134 is based on a Star Trek XI poster.
STS-134, the last shuttle mission, is due to launch July 29, 2010, at 7:51 A.M. EDT. On board will be Commander Mark Kelly, Pilot Gregory H. Johnson, Mission Specialists Michael Fincke, Greg Chamitoff and Andrew Feustel, plus Roberto Vittori, astronaut from the European Space Agency.
Recently, the proposed budget for NASA was announced and to the disappointment of many, Project Constellation, a six-year, nine billion dollar project which would have led men back to the moon, was not a part of future plans.
Star Trek designers Mike and Denise Okuda disagree with the new direction in the space program and have sent a letter to fans, encouraging them to write to President Obama and to their elected representatives in hopes of getting Project Constellation restored.

Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. Microsoft is launching a web version of its streaming music service/digital store Xbox music next week, according to a report by The Verge. Xbox Music is Microsoft's rebranded version of Zune, which is both a digital music store and streaming service that's similar to Spotify. Windows or Xbox users can buy individual tracks or albums like on iTunes, and additionally, they can also sign up for a premium subscription (for a monthly fee) that gives them on-demand streaming music that's similar to Spotify. Users can access the service from the Xbox Music Windows app, Xbox Live, Windows Phone 8 smartphones, Surface tablets, and now, the web. Since Xbox Music is intended to compete with both Apple's iTunes iTunes Radio and Google Play Music/All Access, it makes sense that Microsoft would want to also extend its service to the web. The web version also follows a refreshed version of the Xbox Music Windows 8 app that features a slick two-column design. According to The Verge's report, the web-based version of Xbox Music isn't expected to launch until next week. However, it's possible that the company may mention it during its Build conference tomorrow and Thursday in San Francisco. .

New children's book helps kids when their loved ones are imprisoned.
Book cover image: Via Picture Window BooksA new children's book, "The Night Dad Went to Jail" covers a topic rarely addressed in children's literature- in order to assist children whose parents have been arrested or imprisoned.Bibliotherapy bunnySketch, a bunny, is the main character in the illustrated book, has the school counsellor help him deal with all of the mixed-up emotions he experiences when his dad gets sent to prison for 6 years by encouraging him to draw pictures to describe his feelings.Topics addressed in the book include how to deal with missing a loved one for a long time, dealing with mean children at school and dealing with emotions, in particular, anger, according to some reviews on Goodreads.While some critics are using the fact that such a book should be necessary as an indictment on society, many childcare professionals and social workers have said that "The Night Dad Went to Jail" is proving a vital resource in helping the children of convicted criminals deal with complex emotions. A further criticism is that the children of felons are unlikely to be in an environment which encourages reading.Mostly, though, reviews describe it as "sensitive, thoughtful, and a great resource", suggesting that it helps children of felons to feel as if they are not alone, and that it should be available in every public library."The Night Dad Went to Jail: What to expect when someone you love goes to jail" (Picture Window Books) by Melissa Higgins and Wednesday Kirwan is available locally from Kalahari.comDo you think this book would help kids cope with having family members in prison?

Scenic ride to meet the boys
It's Thursday. A few riders from all over Colorado, and at least 4 other states will be represented in Dolores tonight. Most have left this morning and a few like me left days ago. We would all have a few beers together tonight. I looked forward to it.
But first I had to spend at least 8 hrs riding in order to not get there too soon. I perused the map and found a road that went out past Navajo Dam then up to Bayfield, and north to another Velocitos before going to Durango.
I followed the San Jaun River east toward the dam. The rivers were full all over as the snow continued to melt in the mtns.

That's the dam. The spillway is on the left looking like my road. But no the road is that diagonal line going up the dam to the left. I'd never seen a road built on the back of a dam like that.
Riding SM4C, Sabmag
The lake is huge and goes for 15 or twenty miles back into the hills.

I rode on to the Valecitos area. It was beautiful. It had lakes, luscious green fields, and snow covered Mtns. I was glad that I rode that way today.

It had only been a 100 mile ride to Durango. I rode thru town and got out of town without trouble. While I was riding thru town I was spied by a young ADVrider that was riding in Calif a couple years back. He ended up staying in an adjacent condo unit to mine.
We introduced ourselves and actually went on a couple local rides together. He was freshly graduated from college as an engineer and was looking to relocate from Michigan. As it turned out he couldn't find a job, and he went back to MI. I figured that we'd probably never run into one another again.
His avitar is xdbx. I didn't see him but he called my cell phone and left me a message that he'd seen me pass thru town....there aren't many bikes pulling a bike. He could hardly be wrong.
It really is a small world. I sure hope that he managed to escape from MI. I liked Daniel.
I set my course toward Dolores. Soon I was there, and had camp set up in the Dolores River Campground and RV park, with the Dolores River less that 50 yards away.
A couple of my riding buddy showed up a little later. LD walker on the right and Dave Snell, left. These boys were from over around Westcliffe Co.

We'd do some riding tomorrow....

Animal rights, circus lawyers differ on elephants
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Animal rights activists asked a federal judge Wednesday to find that the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus violates the Endangered Species Act by using metal-tipped prods and chains to control its elephants.
In closing arguments after a six-year court battle, the animal activists asked U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan to stop the circus from harming the elephants during performances and punishing them for bad behavior.
Attorney Katherine Meyer, arguing for the animal rights groups, said she hoped the case would "give voice to these magnificent animals."
Feld Entertainment, which owns the circus, argues the animals are not hurt by the tools and that the instruments are necessary to keep the pachyderms under control and protect public safety.
Feld's attorneys say their 54 elephants are healthy, alert and well-cared for, including the 19 that travel with the show and 35 that live at the company's 200-acre conservatory in Florida.
Some of the elephants at the center of the case were coincidentally just a few blocks from the courthouse, preparing for weekend performances at Washington's Verizon Center.
The case centers on the Endangered Species Act, which prevents among other things, the harming, wounding or harassing of the Asian elephant or other protected animals. Feld's attorneys argue that Congress never intended the law to ban elephants from circuses and that the activists just want to create controversy to raise money.
Meyer showed the court videos of trainers striking the elephants in the legs, trunk and ears with the metal-tipped prod, called a "bullhook" by the activists and a "guide" by the circus. She held up a prod in court, swinging it over her head as she recalled testimony about elephants who had been hit suffering puncture wounds that could sometimes develop into infected boils.
She also told how elephants are chained for hours in trains or on concrete at the conservation center, leading to arthritis, cracks in their nail beds that can cause abscesses and bed sores like patients in nursing homes.
Defense lawyer John Simpson argued that elephant skin is thick enough that the prod doesn't cause harm like it would to a human. He showed a documentary of elephants in the wild with bleeding fly bites next to pictures of bleeding hook marks taken by animal activists. He said they appeared the same, and that a boil is rare and is just like a pimple.
Sullivan said he was surprised to hear a defense expert testify that train travel satisfies elephant's nomadic urges. Simpson replied by comparing the chains used to restrain elephants on the train to a seat belt that a person would put on to go on a trip.
"The average person doesn't have to sit in their own feces," Sullivan responded.
"Unless you are wearing an astronaut diaper, that's true," Simpson said to laughter in the packed courtroom, then argued that handlers keep the box cars clean.
Sullivan also suggested that the way that elephants reacted around the prods suggested they were afraid they were going to be hit and hurt. Simpson replied that Ringling doesn't use fear or pain to train elephants but accepted techniques of negative reinforcement and punishment.

I am a nature lover, artistic, creative and intelligent... I'm sarcastic with a fairly twisted sense of humor. "Quirky" has been used to describe me and "sassy" although that's a totally stupid word but it has no equivalent. Into gardening and landscaping, like to hike/explore and just be outdoors especially around water. I love the woods. My main hobbies are photography and oil painting. I'm really into music and like alternative, old country, Motown, 60's and 70's rock, 80's, grunge, pop...lately it's been coldplay, lumineers, florence and the machine, steely dan, one republic, fol chen, fleetwood mac, johnny cash, four tops, otis redding, Jeff Buckley, outkast...All time favorites include willie nelson, crowded house, talking heads, stp, pearl jam, bob marley, old dmb, beach boys, beatles, stones, janis, 2pac, public enemy, neil diamond, weezer, queen, the gourds, the kinks, modest mouse, temptations, supremes, aretha, allman bros, massive attack, rem, mgmt, toad the wet sprocket...I have a soft spot for ani difranco. but also Katy and Britney. I'm good to have around at trivia... I love to read, especially non-fiction on things like the economy and social issues. I'm progressive and liberal minded and love to talk politics and current events. Favorite authors include Steinbeck, HST, Paul Krugman, Matt Taibbi, Truman Capote, David Sedaris, Christopher Hitchens, Shakespeare (for serious) and ayn rand (totally kidding... really.) I also love my braves, dirty birds and yellow jackets. I like an open-minded guy who is informed and intelligent about his views and beliefs and is curious about the world we live in. Family is so important to me, I don't know what I'd do without mine, they have been there for me unconditionally whenever I have needed them. I am very close to my friends...we like to get together and cook dinners, go out to Athens/Atl, museums, photography roadtrips, vacations. Not into bars and clubs. I'd much rather go to a ball game, explore nature, stay in and watch a movie or go bowling, silly I know. No stuffy dates please! Life is short and meant to be enjoyed not trudged through. Although I freely admit to being an overthinker, I try not to worry about nonsense that doesn't matter in the long run. I don't waste my time and energy with people or things I don't care about. Life is meant to be spent with the people you love, not people you don't mind. Laughing is paramount. A sense of humor is a must. If you're into sarcastic girls with a healthy dose of dry wit and cynicism and a sense of the absurd, I'm your girl. I like guys that have a sensitive side but are still...men! Bonus points if you're the type of fellow who will stop to help a turtle across the road. Intelligence. Long, informed conversations are the best. Silly random ones too. Shared interests are a bonus but not a requirement. Also, much appreciation if you actually read this...you have no idea, ha! I also use ellipses...a lot.

Tumbleweeds a-tumblin' beneath Prairie Moon
Punchers bring their campfire along
The five members of area cowboy music group Prairie Moon don't play anywhere without their smokeless campfire.
Guitar player Tim Calloway built the campfire, and the band calls it "Snuffy." "It works as long as there's an electrical supply nearby," he said with a laugh.
"Some people come just to watch 'Snuffy,'" joked fiddle player and mandolin player David Holcomb.
The nearly 20-year-old group will be performing from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday at the Parks and Recreation Summer Outdoor Concert at South Weeks Park. Admission is free.
In addition to playing under the stars at South Weeks Park, the group will also play at 7 p.m. Saturday as part of the Texasville Opry presentation at Royal Theater in Archer City. The second half of the show will be a bluegrass show, and tickets are available at 940-574-2489.
The five members play a good deal of classic Sons of the Pioneer-type songs like "Tumbling Tumbleweeds," and have recently added some "new" songs to their repertoire such as "Cross the Brazos at Waco" by Kay Arnold and "Come Back to Old Santa Fe" by Peter Rowan of the Rowan Brothers.
They'll also play some of their new originals, especially a funny tune called "Joe Carson Billy Bob Brown."
The group usually plays a 90-minute set.
Prairie Moon originally formed with bass player Will Sullivan who joined up with the three Calloway brothers: Tim, Michael, who plays French harp; and Ron, who plays guitar. Holcomb joined the group in 2001 after the group's first CD.
All five members of the group sing, and all compose songs. They can sing four-part harmony. The group's sets are half-traditional cowboy music and the other half original music in the same cowboy vein.
A prolific recording act, the group has most recently released two CD's over the past two years, "Way Out West" (2010) and "Saddle Up" (summer 2011). They record locally at Johnny Divine's Outback studio and sell CD's at shows, CD Baby and through the band website, www.prairiemoon.net for $15 apiece.
The group averages about two shows a month, mostly centered in the summer months.
They've played across the nation, and in 2011 traveled to Indiana to play at the Will Rogers Festival celebrating the centennial of his birth.
Prairie Moon regularly performs at the Texas Ranch Roundup, Backdoor Theatre and the Pioneer Reunion in Henrietta
They also travel each November to the Western Music Association Showcase in Albuquerque. "That's a big, big deal to us," Tim said. "We have a lot of fun and meet a lot of people."
"They have people come from about every state west of the Mississippi and it's huge," Ron said.
The members enjoy playing together as a band, Tim said. "It's relaxing and it's wholesome, clean, family-rated music. We have fun telling stories and the backgrounds behind the songs and some jokes.
"We try to entertain more than anything else. We want to get people involved."
The appeal of traditional cowboy music crosses all age groups, he said, and it also strikes a chord with people who enjoy folk or traditional type music.
"We want to play this music until we die," Ron said. "Three of us are brothers and two are old friends. We get along well and we just love writing songs, and the creativity part of it tied in with the traditional tunes keeps us going."

Nelson Mandela life story: The born statesman
From uniting South Africa to his involvement in the Lockerbie trial, Mandela was a political giant who never lost sight of the world he gave up so much for
Friday 06 December 2013
Nelson Mandela's sense of human goodness and also of human frailty were at the core of a considered, rational and often misunderstood political wisdom. Generous when generosity was called for, firm - sometimes even brutally so - when he felt firmness was needed, he was an astute leader and masterly negotiator. He was a complex person, not in the sense that he was hard to understand, but in the sense that there were so many facets to him.
People sometimes had a view of him as a weak and sentimental old man who just loved the world. But this detracts from, and overlooks, his efforts in achieving genuine reconciliation, and the fact that he was as much concerned about transformation as he was about reconciliation. Madiba's reconciliation was soberly political, and dependable for that. He was adept at using political power for good. He had a sound grasp of the political impact of what sometimes seemed merely soppy warm-heartedness. On the other hand, there is a mistaken view that he alone nurtured this conciliatory spirit: Thabo Mbeki was no less committed to it.
&main=It was a broad process, but in the end Madiba did become the "father of the nation" and he was really the embodiment of the whole concept of reconciliation. It is easy, however, to dismiss this as soft politics. It wasn't. It had everything to do with the bedrock of the new society South Africans were feeling their way towards, and Madiba was entirely rational about this. And it wasn't as if he was afraid of speaking his mind or even of straining relations with those who were important to this project of reconciling South Africans from different backgrounds. In the early days of the government of national unity, he had sharp exchanges with, for instance, FW de Klerk, who was then his second deputy president. One clash in particular struck those present as being out of character, of being almost ill-considered, but it emerged later that he hadn't merely lost his cool. It was a considered response, and it formed part of making this remarkable government of national unity a workable mechanism. There is a credible argument that, given the historical processes at work in South Africa over the centuries, South Africans as a whole were more or less forced to live together and find common solutions - the embodiment of the government of national unity. In that sense, it was a natural product of our history. But the point is, we almost take it for granted today that the nation would cohere. The truth is, it couldn't just have happened on its own. The fact of a unified nation after Madiba's five years was really a major achievement. So were the material improvements in the lives of ordinary people - the taps and toilets and houses; the consolidation of democracy and constitutionalism through instruments such as the constitutional court and the public protector; and the fact that the departure of the New National Party from the multi-party government did not so much as put a strain on our young democracy. All these things underscore what was a remarkable transition. After only five years, nobody was vulnerable to arbitrary state action as they had been, routinely, under apartheid. Some often thought of this as a soft issue, but it wasn't. For those who had lived in the undemocratic setting preceding 1994, this was as hard an issue as you could find. And the one man who embodied the spirit of this achievement was Nelson Mandela.
A lot was made at the time, and has been made since, of Madiba's visit to Betsie Verwoerd at her home in the "white enclave" of Orania. Some felt this was going too far. But he understood the very real and important symbolic value of making this journey. It took political courage and insight to carry it off. In fact, he always spoke fondly of Mrs Verwoerd. He had the stature and integrity to reach across the divide to her world without cost to the struggle for justice and freedom.
There was a moment, those who were there describe, when she was trying to read something in bad light, and he stepped in and held the light for her. It was typical of the sort of simple human gesture Madiba was capable of making with grace and generosity.
It is striking that Mandela was quite upset about the change in name of the Verwoerd building, home to the ministerial suites, in the parliamentary complex in Cape Town. In an early cabinet meeting, an objection was raised to ministers having to work in a building named after Hendrik Verwoerd, architect of so-called "grand apartheid". There and then, they decided to rename the building 120 Plein Street. Mandela wasn't at this meeting, and when I took him the minutes, his blunt response was: "Why did they do that? If I had been there I would have stopped it." It bothered him that his ministers were "picking on" Verwoerd, and he pointed out that there was a Verwoerd in the ANC benches in parliament - Melanie Verwoerd. For him, it was both a matter of principle and of strategy. He considered the change unnecessarily antagonistic - a step that risked alienating people.
It was typical of his understanding of the wider political implications of decisions that might at first sight have seemed justifiable. He possessed an acute sense of fundamentals founded on his always generous understanding of humanity, and of the lives of ordinary people. His international stature was immense, especially in the sense that ordinary people responded to him in a remarkable way as if they understood that, ultimately, he stood for them. And this is what he brought to his dealings with international statesmen, not least in troubled situations where he made no bones about the need to uphold fundamental human values.
It sometimes made for contestation, for tough meetings. This was true of his meetings with Suharto in the Philippines, with the Burundi leaders, with Libyan President Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, and even with the likes of US President Bill Clinton and British Prime Minister Tony Blair. The Burundi peace initiative was characterised by very unconventional forms of diplomacy. He was very hard on the Burundi leaders to the point even of chastising them. It was a particularly interesting expression of his work to reconcile people.
He was not, in fact, keen to take on the Burundi initiative, but he was prevailed upon, and he did it.
Closer to home, he was always very conscious of Robert Mugabe's resentment of post-apartheid South Africa's rise to prominence, of him being eclipsed by Madiba himself. He always treated Mugabe with absolute correctness and deference, but Mugabe tended to be very petty. On one occasion, when there was a big gathering of southern African leaders in Gaborone, and Mugabe and Madiba, in their separate planes, were bound for the Botswana capital at about the same time, Mugabe was intent on landing after us. There was a ridiculous notion that the most senior leader attending any meeting should arrive last. As we circled over Gaborone, it turned out that while the Botswana authorities wanted us to land after Mugabe, Mugabe was desperate that the South African plane should land first. Madiba, who was very much for punctuality, eventually put his foot down. "Just tell the Botswanans," he ordered the pilot, "that we are landing now."
It is a measure of Madiba's statesmanlike abilities that he was able to be so extraordinarily effective in delicate interventions well outside the African sphere. This was strikingly so in his involvement in East Timor, and also, of course, in the groundwork that led to the trial of the Libyans for the bombing of the Pan Am 747 over Lockerbie in Scotland in 1988.
The Lockerbie case was a decisive achievement. On his way to Scotland for the Commonwealth conference in 1997, Madiba decided to deal directly with Gaddafi once and for all. He went to Egypt and then Libya, where he had long talks with Gaddafi. And, after raising the matter with UK Foreign Secretary Robin Cook and with Blair, he decided to work full time on it. The British resisted initially, but it was evident that they were prepared at least to consider it. It was clear that Cook, particularly, had an open mind. We believed, given our liberation background, that Gaddafi would trust us, and to further strengthen our position, we teamed up with Prince Bandar bin Sultan of Saudi Arabia, and started the process of talking. Kofi Annan was involved, too, because it was a United Nations sanctions issue. And thus began a remarkable process of shuttle diplomacy.
What is forgotten is that South Africa actually had to convince the Americans and the British - most people thought the challenge was to convince Gaddafi. He was sold on the idea of the trial being held in a third country, but the Americans and the British were not. In the end, we succeeded in achieving the compromise of having the trial held in the Netherlands under the jurisdiction of a Scottish court. It was one of Madiba's more spectacular diplomatic successes.
At home, he was imaginative and wise in his granting a prime ministerial role to Thabo Mbeki. Madiba was not, in fact, keen to stand as President at all. What kind of country, he used to say, would have a 72-year-old president? In the end, he was convinced by his old friend Walter Sisulu. But it was never a consideration at all that he would serve a second term and he set an excellent example in this. He assumed his role with vision and forthrightness, but had the foresight, also, to consider the state of play on his departure. This was contingent on events within the ANC, and for a long period he desisted from expressing himself on the matter, especially in view of the rivalry between Thabo Mbeki and Cyril Ramaphosa.
But once circumstances had been clarified, he expressed himself quite openly. I recall on one occasion reporting a matter to him, and he responding: "Well, I think you must speak to Thabo too because he is going to be the next president." It wasn't an involuntary, arbitrary handing-over of things to Thabo; it was contingent on the political process. Thus he preserved for himself the role of leader, while assigning a managerial role to Mbeki.
Most cabinet meetings were chaired by Mbeki, who was always the better manager, but he, Madiba, nevertheless asserted his presence, his authority, and he certainly exacted accountability for what went on in government. He would take issue with some ministers if things were not happening.
One of the biggest political headaches of his term as President was the simmering situation in KwaZulu-Natal and, as could be expected, he managed it with boldness. It had its precarious side. I remember his phoning me at home one Saturday. "Have you watched the news?" he asked me. I said, no, and he said: "You had better watch the news." He had announced that he would "cut off of the lights", cut off the funds to KwaZulu-Natal, if they didn't stop the violence. Now, constitutionally, he couldn't do that, and I think he realised this. After watching the bulletin, I called him back and said I thought we had a problem. I suggested that on Monday morning we have a press conference to put things right. He said: "OK, but I'm not just retracting." I suggested we use the opportunity to put his statement in context. Well, we did that. The very next day, he was speaking in parliament, and we prepared a very careful speech, which, essentially, reasserted the supremacy of the constitution. I was immensely relieved. But then came the moment when he took off his spectacles, and, rather like PW Botha wagging his finger, he said: "You know, I just want to say that no constitution is more important than the lives of people." Well, that very nearly undid all of our efforts. But his boldness conveyed an essential aspect: the will to find and preserve peace.
There was another occasion when some influential elements in the ANC in Natal could not believe the party had really lost to the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP), and felt that there must have been some behind-the scenes manipulation to accommodate the IFP. They were on the verge of voting to call for a recount. Madiba flew down on the day of a key meeting. His timing was impeccable. We were on our way to Harare and, after being introduced, he said he did not have time to linger for any debate, but that he wanted especially to pay tribute to the comrades and congratulate them on this and that. He said he knew that the ANC was not an organisation in which the people simply took orders from the president, but that today he knew the wisdom of his leaders - and wanted to thank them for not taking a decision to contest the elections.
Well, that settled it. They couldn't debate it, because he had to leave to fly to Harare. The elections were not contested. I remarked to Madiba later: "That is not a very great display of democracy, is it?" and he replied: "It is a waste of time to be democratic with people who don't respect democracy."
I don't think that anybody could say he or she was untouched by Madiba. People who had never met him knew about, and had a sense of, what he stood for. He had moral authority, and people regarded him as goodness embodied. Part of this was being very frank, even rude, with people who needed reminding of human values. I saw this in Burundi. I commented once on his candour with some of these figures, and he responded: "Look, those people are killing one another, they are killing people. You can't beat around the bush with them and be nice to them and leave them in any doubt about what is going on." Because of the intrinsic goodness in him, and his great charm, and that moral stature, he could get away with doing things in bold or unconventional ways.
This was tellingly true of his encounters with the Royal Family in Britain. He even got the Queen to dance. Prince Charles hosted a concert at the Royal Albert Hall for South African artists, and, with the final song, Madiba stood up and did the Madiba shuffle up there in the Royal box. Prince Charles joined him, followed by Prince Philip and the Queen. I think it was historic for the Queen.
With the charm came an unnerving directness. Tony Blair experienced this after a public justification of allied action in the Balkans. Madiba told him to his face: "Tony, I am your friend.
There are many people in this world who are not your friend. I am your friend. And I must tell you, I don't buy that story of yours. So you must just think what the rest of the world thinks of that explanation." He was a political giant who never lost sight of the human world he gave up so much for.

" ... the only difference between the proofs and the regular [nickel and silver] coins being the sharper edge and design. ... In order to distinguish gold proofs from the regular issue, it has been necessary to give them a sandblast finish, which changes the appearance of the coins to such an extent that it is almost impossible to put them in circulation. This is something I am not sure we have a right to do."
When those reasons were coupled with the additional paperwork and lost revenue producing each proof coin, von Engelken discontinued the manufacture of proof coinage the following day.
NGC and PCGS combined have certified only 51 proof 1915 twenties. Most known examples cluster tightly in the PR64-PR65 range, with few higher or lower. We estimate that probably no more than 30 individual pieces exist today in all grades. This year has the same coarse finish as seen on the 1914 twenties. The surfaces are usually darker than on 1911-1913 coins. Nevertheless, magnification shows bright, sparkling individual facets on each side. This PR65 example displays the expected coarser texture, as seen on the 1914 in the Ferrari Collection. The color is just slightly more yellow than the 1914, however. A couple of shiny spots are seen over the high points of the design, and the only contact marks (tiny ones at that) are widely scattered over the reverse.

An amazing experience for those who appreciate the nature, silence, and contemplation... I just spent One of the best hours of my Life upthere, over the beautiful catalonian landscapes... Moreover the team was awesome: they speak english ( which is not often the case in spain believe me...)and they picked us up directly in Barcelona city centre. Our pilot Nicolas is a true passionate: I really appreciated to share the adventure with someone who lives his passion. Definitively recommend It to everyone

I agree with quite a few comments here, I'm in the same boat as the OP and what I've realised is the games I enjoyed the most weren't necessarily the best games but they were the games that I enjoyed the community. Vanilla wow to wotlk were quite social to me so enjoyable, Faxion online lasted 3 months but I loved it because the few people that played it created in that short time a nice community. A lot of mmos now don't care about that and that has bred a generation of players that don't really care for community either.
im holding out for EQN and ESO but I still suspect that even if those games are great it will be hit or miss if I find those like minded players or not and if not will probably move on from them aswell.

I played eq1 for only 8 months before eq2 came out and then eq2 for the last 8 years but the reason I started eq1 then went to eq2 was I had 8 R/L friends playing and we had at least one day off together to play.Now the place we worked closed and everybody scattered and we don't have days off together to play,so at my new work place everybody is starting to play ffxiv realm reborn.I will play this also because coworkers are playing this..that to me is what will make this game fun.My point is any mmo will be fun if you have friends playing with you.Cannot count the times when we are all at the bar talking strategy and tactics for the next play day and everyone else looking at us like we are from another planet.

Been playing MMOs for over two decades, and FFXIV is my choice. It has an old school feel to it. The game tells you what you're able to do, but other than the main storyline to unlock things, you can pretty much run around and do whatever you want, all on a single character.
Edit: I haven't been on the internet looking for information since FFXI, FFXIV has revived my internet use lol. I keep sites up on my tablet, while I'm playing. Another old school feature...half the time I'm not even sure what I'm doing, or what I'm doing is right or best lol.

WvW wise, they've fixed most of the annoying bugs and other issues by now, so it's more popular than ever and works quite well. Here's a description of it:
GW2 is really nice and different PvE wise, too. Unfortunately, they've made a bigger focus on dailies lately, but they're still not particularly annoying or grindy and you've got some non-daily ways of getting the best items. No raiding, which is something I like.
The Secret World is another MMO I liked a lot, but it's more of a "play through the main quest and quit" game for me, because its endgame is just a dungeon grind. Admittedly a good dungeon grind, but I hate it all the same.

My input:
When talking about reliving the past experiences and/or actually managing to get from where you started from, it's always beneficial take example of Mr.Monk. More importantly, its penultimate episode "Mr.Monk and the Badge". In short, if Monk couldn't relive the past experience(and he remembered it down to a dot of T), what chance do you have? As General Castor from DoW 2 said "the situation has changed". You have changed, games have changed and the whole world has changed.
Just let it go. And try new experiences/games. Who knows? Maybe you run into one that's going to ensorcell you. You never know. Or maybe not. But if you stop trying...what are the Odds to find what you seek? Just remember the Vulcan saying(and their philosophy of Life imo):
"Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations"

OP you will likely be forced to play a PvP centered game as they seem to be the only ones with EQ open world (no linear quest hubs). I 've found myself really enjoying Darkfall UW. I do tire of the PvP focus but the crafting is great, the PvE is pretty good and the open world feel is really unmatched in the genre. If you don't like PvP you can typically find some out of the way places and gather or PvE or even stay in the safe zones for some time.
This is the only game that has given me that EQ feel of a big dangerous world that is really fun to explore.

I wish they would just make a type of game like Lineage2. Where grouping was needed. No battleground bullshit. No instancing. Only open world. I miss my Cruma Tower, DVC and ToI. :(

They need a full forum here on MMORPG for people that are fans of games that don't exist anymore and everyone can sit in there and complain and cry to each other, without screwing with games that are currently out.

If you stopped playing EQ at luclin I'd say revisit that as you missed all the best parts of that game. I hear that it died around then even though the highest population was 3-4 years after luclin launch. I played from kunark to DoDH and loved every minute of it. I still play from time to time as the new content is just as good as anything other games are putting out. P1999 is for the hardcore. It took me a year to get to lvl 52. It's especially hard as there aren't many people leveling up between 20-50 so finding people to group with is near impossible. Orc 1 is always full though. You won't be able to do much endgame if thats what you're seeking as one guild controls 90%+ of the spawns through mass text bombs and a hugely unemployed player base.
Anarchy online is very similar to EQ in a lot of ways. Grinding, buffs, gear, lots of classes and places to visit. They are rebuilding the engine for that game which is really exciting. Gameplay wise I still rank it top 5 in the market.
Other than that it seems you've disliked most everything about MMO's, perhaps try another genre.

You could give Eve a try. Steep learning curve though.
Of course it may also be the fact that game makers are just doing the themepark treadmill and Im sick of it myself.

Starport: Galactic Empires. I know you don't like ghost town games, but since this game only really had about 100 players, it's more of a close-knit community than a ghost-town. Anyways, it's incredible, simply put, and doesn't rely on graphics to be incredibly fun. The developer listens to every concern and adds new patches all the time based upon what the community wants. I play a server called Blitzkrieg, which in my opininion is the most skill-sensitive games ever created. It takes just skill and strategy. No grinding at all. And no auto-aim bull shit. But that's pure PVP. Every other server is a balance between PVP and PVE as you build an empire, and invade others. It's seriously depth-filled, but you can start enjoying it pretty quickly. And with the small player-base, becoming number 1 is actually feasible! And its a huge open galaxy like EVE - the graphics. Its lost its player-base because the admin stopped putting money into advertising. Anyways, I urge you to try it out. My name on there is Muffin, and I like to help new players out. My goal right now is to increase the player base, thus why I'm here. Happy gaming!

So often same old problems I'm facing. I'm old school from Meridian 59, then UO, then EQ1... so on and so on through dozens of other games.
I didn't mind grinding like DAoC and EQ as long as I had the community and friends. I loved to group and still do but so much is based on solo play until max level. Even then often at max level community isn't their with often cross server dungeons, raids, and pvp were being known, having a rep, or having friends doesn't really matter.
I keep breezing through games trying to find one I can enjoy. I find a few games but always feel like I'm playing a single player game with a bunch of trade/raid spam as I level. No one groups, no ones socializes, and social friendly guilds are near dead. Been speeding through DCUO lately and no one seems to group until top level for the most part. No one wants to recruit into guilds unless top level for raiding. Heck, I was yelled at for trying to chit chat and ask questions in general chat....
I'd be happy to stay with DCUO for a bit, or EQ2, or a few other old games if had more socializing and content as you played up in levels.
Its a sad time for real MMORPG gamers who made the genre. We been over run with all the soloist kiddies who just want to show off kewl lewts and be dicks.

Sirloin steak
|Sirloin steak
American beef cuts
|Beef steak
|Cookbook: Sirloin steak Media: Sirloin steak
The sirloin steak is a steak cut from the back of the animal.
In U.S. butchery, the steak is cut from the rear back portion of the animal, continuing off the short loin from which T-bone, porterhouse, and club steaks are cut. The sirloin is actually divided into several types of steak. The top sirloin is the most prized of these and is specifically marked for sale under that name. The bottom sirloin, which is less tender and much larger, is typically marked for sale simply as "sirloin steak". The bottom sirloin in turn connects to the sirloin tip roast.
In British, South African and Australian butchery, the word sirloin refers to cuts of meat from the upper middle of the animal, similar to the American short loin, while the American sirloin is called the rump. Because of this difference in terminology, in these countries, the T-bone steak is regarded as a cut of the sirloin.
The derivation of the word "sirloin" is unclear. Some scholars point to the origin deriving from the Middle English surloine, itself derived from the Old French word surloigne (variant of surlonge), that is, sur for 'above' and longe for 'loin'.[1][2][3] In Modern French, the cut[when defined as?] is called aloyau or faux-filet.[4]
However, there is anecdotal evidence that suggests the origin derives from the knighting of a loin steak by King James I of England on his return from Scotland in 1617, he stopped at Hoghton tower for three days, and was entertained with great hospitality by Sir Richard Hoghton. A full account of these festivities is still preserved. His majesty, in his appreciation of Lancashire beef, did thrice strike the joint with his sword and is said to have knighted the loin of beef served on that occasion. That portion of beef has ever since been called "Sir Loin." Scholars are divided on this issue. Some consider the knighting anecdote to be a specious coincidence of language. [5]

10 Ways Not to Dress Like a Soccer Dad
Eleven months.
Alternate title: "How Not to Look Like a Man in Your 40′s When You're Really in Your 20′s or 30′s."
In "Does Becoming a Parent Make You Less Cool?," I proclaimed that I didn't want to end up looking like a "bland soccer dad." What does that even mean?
Let me take you back to my senior year of college. I was working an afternoon shift at Liberty University's brand-new student center with my culturally aware, straight-talking friend, Anna.
"You totally look like a soccer dad right now," she said.
At the time, I didn't realize that was a bad thing, with my faded polo shirt tucked into my khaki cargo pants, paired with tennis shoes and a flat hairstyle that resembled Mike Brady on the first season of The Brady Bunch.
Over time, especially since getting married, I have learned how to dress as a culturally relevant man, not Nick Burns, your company's computer guy.
So for any dads out there who are wanting to step up their game, I'm here to sincerely help. The truth is, Nick Burns (a Saturday Night Live character played by Jimmy Fallon) is a good place to start; regarding who not to look like.
1. If you are a white man under the age of 40, nix the mustache. It makes you look a pervert. No one takes a young mustached Caucasian man seriously- hence the term, "ironic mustache."
2. Lose the cell phone belt clip. Just place your phone in your pocket and leave it on vibrate. That way, no one has to hear "Sweet Home Alabama" every time someone calls you.
3. No white socks. Unless you're playing sports or you're Michael Jackson in 1985, white socks are nerdy.
4. Give away your pleated pants. Pleats went out with Sears catalogs and Zack Morris cell phones.
5. When it comes to your hairstyle, the key is not to look like a weatherman, who I feel are notorious for having a definite "side part" like the previously mentioned Season One Mike Brady. The truth is, the clean-cut, yet semi-messy "Ryan Seacrest" is the safest way to go right now.
6. Go black, or go brown; but don't go both. If you are wearing a brown belt, don't wear black pants or black shoes too; and vice versa.
7. When it comes to jeans, light and baggy says "Hey man, Creed's coming into town and I've got front row tickets!". Also, do not purchase jean shorts. Like the white man's mustache, they have become a fashion joke, now referred to as "jorts."
8. Unless you're actively on duty in the military, there is no reason for your pants to have cargo pockets. Cargo pants equal "sloppy" except they are part of your required uniform.
9. When wearing a neck tie, which you sporadically should, only wear it with a long-sleeved, collared shirt. I'm sure you don't want to look like Dwight Schrute.
10. Fact: There is a reason no one ever asks anymore; "boxers or briefs?" That's because it goes without saying. Boxers.
Passing the Mic:
Can you think of anything to add to my list? Maybe you'll give me enough material here to write "10 More Ways Not to Look Like a Soccer Dad."

I got a serious kick out of this. My dad is an offender of almost every one of the things on your list, except for the mustache. He also is bald so he doesn't do the weatherman hair thing, which is ironic since he actually is a weatherman. Additionally, he likes to combine #7&8 into what we refer to as "jargos".

On October 20, 2011 at 10:23 pm
Thanks, Holly of Norway/New Jersey. I actually thought of you when I was writing this one because you're the only person I know who actually knows a weatherman very well- since he's your dad.

Completely agree! Awesome… except for the boxers. Those things are just too much fabric to stuff in your pants.
Plus cut it to the wood or shave instead of the comb over, or the friar tuck nest of hair, but that should go without saying.

By the ASB, he had set a pace nobody could hope to beat.
Anybody attempting to challenge him now will be like Votto trying to take Stubb's strike-out crown.
A ship sunk by it's commitment to very bad Veterans.
I went with underachievers but also it could be lack of leadership. But you need to remember last year the Reds were very lucky. Gomes, Arroyo, and Rolen had good years. Now this year look at them Rolen is having Shoulder problems and its affecting his hitting. Arroyo went from being one of the most reliable last year to now this year he's leading MLB in HR'S given up. And Gomes last year best year of his career to this year being traded and not being able to hit RHP. The team as a whole last year was hitting great with RISP to this year with only two guys Votto and Phillips hitting above .300 with RISP. Also The Reds came back in a lot of games and they didn't quit ever.
This team overachieved last season and came back to earth this season.
Management believed last year's team was the real deal and sat on their butts in the offseason, not upgrading obvious weaknesses.
Because of the overachievement last season, management felt forced to reward an overrated manager, who continues to make poor strategical decisions, definitely costing this team 5 to 8 wins a season.
That is it in a nutshell.
