Andalusite gets its name from the Spanish province of Andalusia, where it was first discovered. Andalusite is an aluminum silicate that has been called the "poor man's alexandrite." Some andalusite crystals have inclusions arranged so that in cross-section, they form a dark cross. This form of andalusite is called chiastolite, which is a name that comes from the Greek word for cross. Chiastolite occurs in schists and can be found in Santiago de Compostela, a town in Northwest Spain. In the past, many amulets made of chiastolite were sold to pilgrims. Andalusite is heated to form mullite, a mineral that has many industrial uses. For example, mullite is used in the manufacturing of spark plugs. Andalusite is a polymorph with two other minerals, kyanite and sillimanite. It is a pleochroic stone; it can display shades of color varying from light yellowish brown to green brown, light brownish pink, grayish green, or definite green, with pleochrism, making it hard to identify the main color.
Transparent green andalusite is the most valued form of andalusite. Unlike other pleochroic gemstones, such as iolite and zoisite, where gem cutters try to reduce the pleochrism and highlight the single best color, cutters of andalusite actually attempt to get a good mix of colors in the stone. When cut in an emerald cut, andalusite may look mostly green, with bits of orange showing at the ends of the emerald shape. When cut in a round cut, the green body color is visible, as are simultaneous flashes of other colors. The rare and sometimes expensive emerald green colored variety may exhibit a bright yellow color simultaneously, or when viewed from different angles. In contrast, the pink variety does not exhibit this kind of color phenomenon.
Andalusite is a fairly durable stone, rating a 7 to 7.5 on the hardness scale. It is a vitreous and transparent to translucent stone. Andalusite occurs as crystals with poor luster, typically in thermally metamorphosed peltic rocks, and in muddy rocks that have been metamorphosed under low-pressure conditions. It also occurs, together with corundum, tourmaline, topaz and other minerals, in some pegmatites. Andalusite is found mainly as water worn pebbles and it is these pebbles that are usually cut as gemstones.
Beautiful dark green forms of adalusite come from alluvial gravels in Sri Lanka, while green andalusite gemstones are found in Brazil, principally in the states of Espirito Santo and Minas Gerais. Andalusite from Brazil is small, rare and very expensive. Brazil is actually the primary source for andalusite. Large columnar crystals of andalusite occur at Lisenz, Austria. Andalusite also occurs in the United States in Massachusetts, the White Mountains in California, Standish, Maine, and Delaware County, Pennsylvania. Other important sites for andalusite include Canada, Bimbowrie Australia, the Hunan Province in China, as well as various locations around Siberia, Russia, Brittany, France, and England. It has been said that the person who is attracted to this stone is a fighter. However, by wearing the stone, the wearer supposedly becomes wise, gives up fighting, and starts to embark on the path of love. With andalusite, the wearer perceives that with fighting, we live contrary to our own nature.

Essay - Reading and Decoding: Identifying Improved Techniques and Approaches for Helping...
Reading and Decoding: Identifying Improved Techniques ***** Approaches for Helping Children Learn to Read
Overview. Because reading is essential to overall academic success, one of the most serious and explosive issues in the United States today is how to meet the educational needs of an increasingly diverse population of students with a wide r*****ge of developmental needs. The situation ***** urgent as well, since current trends in educational achievement suggest that millions ***** students will not acquire the education necessary to fully participate in the economic and political aspects of society. Additionally, ***** inequality ***** results from differences in the *****al achievement of children is likely ***** further widen the gap between the rich and poor. Children cannot learn to read without an underst*****ing ***** phonics.
The National Association for the Education of Young ***** (1996) points out that all children must know *****ir ABCs and the sounds that letters make in order to communicate verbally. Therefore, the question in early childhood ********** programs should not be whether to teach "phonics" or "whole language learning," but rather how to teach phonics in context instead of in isolation so ***** young learners make the appropriate connections between letters, sounds, and meaning.
Purpose. The purpose of this study is ***** identify ***** issues, research, procedures ***** materials that are related to the recent findings on word decoding.
Structure. This study employs a critical review of the scholarly and relevant literature concerning reading and decoding to determine what role, if any, the small group decoding instruction plays in the improvement of read*****g achievement for students. Determining the importance of ***** relationship has implications for how to effectively increase student achievement as ***** as how resources ***** allocated ***** achieve the best results. Given ***** ***** achievement ***** between proficient readers ***** non-*****, the findings of this study will as a st*****rting point, diminish ***** disparity and ***** ultimately help create more and better l*****e-long readers. This research is significant in several ways. First, it addresses a cruci*****l issue, important not only to school success, but the ***** of the public school system. It also addresses a problem th*****t is widespread, ***** impacts most ***** America's ***** school students. School success seems ***** be an important precursor to success in careers. Therefore this study impacts ***** only ***** in school but throughout later life.

"MLM Emeralds Quit!"
Sue and Jerry Smart have been Making Money Online From Home for almost eight years now.
We have taught people from Australia, UK, Canada, New Zealand and USA, how to make money online.
If you want a home-based business, you might think you've a wide choice: The ads and web sites for these businesses are everywhere on the Internet. And you've probably noticed that many of them promise incredible benefits – wealth, success, happiness – without you having to do much to earn it.
But how do you make money without working for it? This doesn't make sense…
I'm tired of these Internet fraudsters trying to sell their poor quality get-rich-quick schemes. What I'm offering you instead is an authentic home-based business opportunity. And to prove it's genuine, I must be clear that if you're interested in my business, you're going to have to put in some work.
Hi. We're Sue and Jerry Smart and we don't apologize for referring to work. It's a simple fact, contrary to what some web sites would have you believe, that if you want to run a successful home-based business, you're going to have to work at it. Not that I'm suggesting you need to devote every hour in the day to the task. I make a great living by averaging twenty hours a week, and this way I've enough time to appreciate the really important things in life.
The work you'll have to do
With my home-based business, you plan, organize and do. And when you make a profit, you keep every dollar because you're not working to make someone else rich. You're working as a business owner on behalf of yourself and your family.
Running your own business doesn't mean you're alone

WASHINGTON -- The White House says WikiLeaks' decision to release classified U.S. diplomatic files endangers U.S. diplomats, intelligence agents and democratic activists who seek America's help.
The website has defied U.S. demands that it not publish the hundreds of thousands of documents. The material includes candid assessments of foreign leaders and governments.
The White House says such initial reporting is "often incomplete information" and doesn't always shape final policy decisions.
The White House calls the release "reckless and dangerous" and counter to President Barack Obama's goal of open and accountable government at home and around the world.
It considers the files to be "stolen" and says they put at risk the cause of human rights across the globe.

Cornwall horse show team qualify for Olympia
Posted: November 02, 2012|
A CRACK team of riders representing Cornwall Trec will take centre stage at the London International Horse Show, Olympia, next month, after winning through to The SEIB British Riding Clubs Quadrille of the Year, in a hard fought qualifier at the Aintree International Equestrian Centre, Liverpool.
Michelle Pulley (Cultivo) of Redruth, Rebekah Gossan (Gimnasta) of Rosudgeon together with Katherine Davis (Mr Corbett) and Hannah Macey (Irish Dream) of St Erth, produced a magnificent performance to the theme of The Knights of the Round Table to book their place to this prestigious final on the club's first ever attempt at the Quadrille competition.
In a bid to wow the judges, the Knights of the Round Table incorporated colourful costumes, music, dressage movements and riding skills in a finely tuned routine mixing precision riding with the spectacle of pantomime.
With marks awarded for appearance, content of programme, performance and general artistic impression, Cornwall Trec ticked all the boxes to secure one of four coveted tickets to this world renowned Christmas Show which celebrates its 40th birthday at the Olympia Halls in December.
Cornwall Trec have made a phenomenal impression on the Quadrille scene with the club also fielding a second team in this qualifier consisting of Laura-Jane Russell, Nicola Davies, Jenna Payne and Rowen Hurst running under the theme of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
British Riding Clubs Area 19 (South West) representative, Jane Fisher of Mitchell, said: "It was so marvellous. I've loved being involved in every part of the training and proud that the Monty Python's Spamalot take on the Knights of the Round Table theme was my stroke of genius!
"I'm delighted with how our teams performed on the night and look forward to Olympia. We'll be doing our best to wave the Cornish flag although we feel that by getting a ticket to Olympia we've already won!"
The journey to Olympia has been a long and hard one with team coach Verity Perry of Rosevidney Livery and Competition yard, Penzance, providing the necessary inspiration and expertise in planning Cornwall Trec's fabulous routines. Verity said: "I think both teams were amazing. The Teddy team lost one of their horses at the very last minute due to a technicality and were up against the odds. But how they pulled it together on the night was just breathtaking.
"I'm so proud of my Knights and on a personal level thrilled that the Olympia team will include our riding school horse Ronnie Cob (The Irish Dream) along with Mr Corbett, formerly owned by my late best friend Val Croft and ridden in the Quadrille by his new owner and local vet, Katherine Davis.
"To ride at Olympia is such an amazing achievement for any rider and something I doubt I'll ever achieve personally. I'm delighted and proud to be the catalyst to get all this started."
Hours of work took place behind the scenes with wide acclaim going to Jenna Payne of St Day, for having the initiative to buy a sewing machine off eBay and then teaching herself the skill.
She toiled tirelessly with help from Trish Bosae in creating the Teddy outfits while dedication and expertise also came from Marge Fargrieve assisted by Michelle Pulley in designing and producing the Knights costumes.
Thirteen Quadrille teams travelled to Aintree from all over the country in their quest to impress the judges with a wide variety of themes ranging from birds of paradise and magicians to sailors and Shrek.
"The atmosphere at Aintree was electric," said Cornwall Trec secretary and team co-ordinator, Jamie-Lee Ball of Newquay.
"The evening performance kicked off with a costume side saddle display team which was a beautiful sight and provided the perfect warm-up for the Quadrille.
"The Knights opened our challenge and their Monty Python inspired routine had the audience laughing, cheering, clapping and dancing.
"Their performance was foot perfect and had our supporters and spectators shouting and whooping. Later in the evening it was the turn of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears team.
"With a new horse on the team they did an amazing job running through this children's favourite story with humour and fun to tremendous response from the crowd."
Knight's team member, Hannah Macey, who is the head girl at Rosevidney, said: "All our horses and riders have been on a huge journey since we started practicing for this back in February. We're all excited and looking forward to giving it our all at Olympia."
Planning, fund raising and preparing for the Olympia final is already under way.
Verity said: "We owe a great deal to so many people who supported our challenge at Aintree with huge thanks to the Regent Court Vets Penzance; Hungry Hector Dog Treats; Protexin Veterinary; Hayle Saddlery; Micheal Bowden; Cogegeos Farm and employees from Tulip, Redruth.
"We would still be stuck at Aintree in our broken down lorry if it hadn't been for Warren, Ryan and Paul from the 24 hour garage at Chatsfield coming to our rescue."
Cornwall Trec are determined to make the trip memorable.
Jamie Lee said: "Lucy Millard of Premier Healthcare Solutions has already come forward with a generous offer to supply rugs for the Olympia team including reserve member Jenna Payne and her stallion Blaengwen Lampard. It's all very exciting for Cornwall Trec and Area 19."
A gala evening has been organised on Friday November 23, at Rosevidney, Penzance, in aid of the Quadrille challenge and the Make-A-Wish foundation.
A coach trip to Olympia will leave Cornwall at 2am on December 21, with seats available for Cornwall Trec Quadrille supporters and the general public.
For further details call Jamie-Lee Ball on 07837186144 or visit www.cornwalltrecgroup.co.uk.
The London Olympia Horse Show takes place from December 17-23 with The SEIB British Riding Clubs Quadrille of the Year held on the Friday (December 21) of the show. For further details visit www.olympiahorseshow.com

Plus Size Crepe Companion 3 Piece Set 10 10
Poor Construction The seams in the pants are so crooked I cannot hem them straight which is a sign of poor construction. I would have returned them except for the return policy costs too much to return. April 25, 2015
Poor fit ordered taupe, nice color, jacket small, pants large. June 20, 2013
Love the material Pants large, jacket small. Please go back to the older jacket style with the button and A-line look. Those were wonderful, and the sizing was much better. August 5, 2013
Very disappointed Material was thin and cheap looking and feeling. Would snag if jagged fingernail hit it. Color was different from picture in catalog. November 12, 2014
Great for travel Love this! No wrinkle,and very comfortable. The fit was right on. November 17, 2014
Crepe suit This is a beautiful three piece suit...the bottoms are huge and I will have to get them tailored ...much too long even with heels and huge in the waist ...the blouse and jacket are loose as well...but this is too pretty not to gave tailored. Good buy good value..will travel well May 9, 2014
Plus Size Crepe Companion 3-pc Set Love the shape retention and wrinkle free! I bought this in two different colors and love them both. Be sure you measure and get correct size, as the 1X is a little bit of a snug fit in the top for me, but I am on a continuing diet and exercise regimen and hopefully, will fit looser in next month or so. I just wore the blue set to church and sleeves are a little tight at wrist; pants fit perfectly. Love them both! September 30, 2013
Great, stylish outfit good for many seasons! This outfit is just great. I can take off the jacket if it is too warm. A scarf and these three pieces and you are good to go to almost any type of meeting or day at work. I bought this new outfit to wear this fall to some important meetings, and I am certainly not disappointed! A great outfit --wash, wear, wash again, and can be worn with other items as well. A great outfit! August 26, 2013

Wisconsin Democrats will file their third recall petition against a Republican state Senator today. The woman who initially filed the recall against Sen. Luther Olsen (R-Ripon) will return over 23,000 signatures to the Government Accountability Board today. If successful, Olsen will join Dan Kapanke and Randy Hopper, who have had recall petitions filed against them with the proper amount of signatures. The Kapanke and Hopper signatures are currently under review at the GAB.
While conservative activists have hinted that they have achieved enough signatures to recall Democratic members of the Senate, they have yet to file any petitions with the GAB. Democrats have now filed three, and they started their efforts a bit later than Republicans.
So far, Democrats have found solid challengers to both Kapanke and Hopper. State Rep. Jennifer Shilling will challenge Kapanke, and Oshkosh Deputy Mayor Jessica King will challenge Hopper. King lost in 2008 to Hopper less than 200 votes. The solid recruitment by Wisconsin Democrats in those races is another sign that the recall movement has some momentum behind it.
In one of the few early polls of a potential recall election, Olsen trailed a generic challenger by 49-47 and had a -10 approval rating (32/42) in the district. Barack Obama took Olsen's swing district in 2008 by a 52-47 margin.
On April 1, Mike Tate, the head of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, told me that he expected petitions to be filed in at least 6 of the 8 Republican Senate seats eligible for recall. Looks like we're at three, with a few weeks left to go to get petitions signed.
UPDATE: A fourth recall, against GOP Sen. Sheila Harsdorf, may be close to getting filed, reports Chris Bowers.

3 - 13 Oct 2013
New York
This stop: Neverland. Next stop: New York!
After a wildly successful season here at home at Belvoir St Theatre, we bundled up the lost boys and lost girls to get truly lost in the wilds of New York at the New Victory Theater!
American parents, bring your children. American children, bring your parents. American grandparents, bring everyone!
Everybody knows Peter Pan. He's the boy who hasn't grown up in 113 years – the boy who comes through the window of an ordinary family and takes the children on an adventure to the bush. Well, to Neverland. It is also a mad festival of bedtime and storytime, of uncatchable girls who have a thing for you and Lost Boys who don't have a thing for you, of rip tides, pirates, ticking crocodiles, growing up, going home, mothers, fathers, dogs, dreams, and that mad pirate fiend and great big grown-up Captain Hook!

Comments on this Consulate-General
I am American but my husband was British. We have five adult children born in America and they would like to have dual citizenship with Great Britain. What are the requirements for them to attain dual citizenship?
Do not post messages here for the Consulate. This is not an official site and questions will not be answered by Consulate staff.
Instead visit the official website of the British Government in the USA at:
I moved over to the united states 11 years ago i am now 20 years old. My passport got destroied when i was a child and i need the information that was on the visa stapled into my passport and i also need the social security number from scotland. Can you guys get that information for me? you can email me at email@example.com
This has been extremely frustrating and confusing. No consulates are handling passport renewals and the websites have been very confusing. I need to renew my British passport. I saw online that I can get an extension of 12 months on my existing passport. How can I get this done? Much appreciated.
I have been advised by my US lawyer to see if her passport can be annotated to include her full name of Sarojini Gupta in addition to her abbreviated name of Saroj Gupta.
Are you able to assist? Time is of the essence.
My wife and I married in London (in Lewisham) on 3 March 1972. We do not have an original copy of the marriage certificate (#235). Can you help us get one stamped officially?
Thank you.

Hello Sir/Madam
I am a British citizen who was married to a US citizen for twenty years and living in Kentucky. In 2010 my wife died of cancer and a year later I returned to live in England. I recently moved to Sheffield in South Yorkshire where I am temporarily living with my brother and sister in law. My sister in law is a child minder and is required by a government agency called Ofsted to get a Certificate of Good Conduct on me for the last five years. This goes back to 2008 while I was living in Kentucky. I therefore need this Certificate of Good Conduct for the years 2008 to July 2011 when I left the USA and returned to England. Please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com Thank you.
I transiting through the UK from S. Africa to my residence in the US. I have a valid green card but hold a south asfrican passport. I will only be in the UK to connect flights(3hrs) remaining in the same airport. Will I need to get a transit visa?
Thanks in advance for your help.
I am a British Citizen and have lived in United States with my American Citizen husband for 35yrs
We would like to retire in England as I still have
family there. How would we apply for a spouse visa
and what income would be required. Our social security amounts to approximately $24,000 per annum.
Would this count with the addition of savings. If so
what would be the total amount required for us
to permanently reside in England? Thank you.
08-27-2013 To Whom It May Concern: It is my intention to seek asylum in the UK. I have been tortured here in the USA, with medication that I did not require, to the point of complete retardation of dysfunction, for the past 14 years, and, I have been forced to be homeless for the past, almost 4 years. My children were removed from my care, because of the torture which ensued, and, because I lacked the financial resources to support my family. I have not had a job interview, since 2008, although, I am capable of working, and, I have a Master's Degree. I have had little to no time at all, with any of my 3 children, who are all now in high school, over the past 14 years. I am tired of being homeless, although the medical abuse, within the healthcare system here in the USA, has abated, I am still being refused gainful employment, and safe housing, and access to my 3 children, to whom, I am the sole custodial parent--the sole decision maker according to the court system in Florida--USA. I would like to apply for asylum in the UK, for both myself, and my 3 children. I am having considerable difficulty surviving in the USA with no money, and not much family, and no housing, and no job interviews ever, although I am well qualified to work. I have no mental problems, although I was persecuted here in the USA, for the past 14 years. I just passed another psychological examination, at another hospital here in Phoenix, AZ. How do I apply for asylum online? I am not able to relocate to the UK at this time, in order to apply in an asylum application office in person, however, I could very easily relocate from Phoenix, AZ, closer to the British Embassy and Consulate location in Texas, USA. I could apply in person at the British Embassy location here in Texas, USA. I would not feel comfortable, after what I have suffered, in flying to the Washington, DC area, not at this time. My full legal name is: Miss Bayo Elizabeth Cary, A.A., B.A., M.L.I.S. . I will have a phone number again shortly, until that time, I can only be reached by email, at: email@example.com . I am completely homeless, and really struggling, without enough financial resources, after years of medical mis-treatment, abuse, torture, and ostrification, to continue to survive, here in the USA. Thank you for your time, and for your immediate attention. I will look for your prompt reply by email. My situation is pressing, and requires an immediate resolve. Thank you again. Sincerely, Miss Bayo Elizabeth Cary, A.A., B.A., M.L.I.S. Email: email@example.com

Can a Norn pick up an egg? Unfortunately yes. :) My norns seem to love playing football with any newly laid eggs around the place. After a norn has picked up and egg it will not hatch unless you put it in the incubator.
Is it possible to get rid of an unwanted egg? It is possible to freeze them by picking them up, but without the use of a cob (like the remover spray) you can not get rid of them.
How do I get my Norns into lifts? Well norns very rarely do what they don't want to do, but often by putting a toy they are playing with or waving your hand near the lift and calling their name will make the Norns come over to the lift. You can then quickly scroll up and hit the call button on the level you want to go to before the norn moves away.
Why has the incubator closed? This is a way to stop over population in Albia. Once you reach 12 Norns the incubator closes and all Norns must hatch in the wild. This means if you disturb an egg while it is hatching by picking it up, it will not hatch until you export some Norns and the incubator opens again.
How do you create those Norn pictures on your page? To make a norn picture without the background, you can download a program called NornPose and actually choose what position you'd like the norn to pose in. Anything else in the picture I draw in by hand in PSP.
How do I save the norn pictures I take in the owner's kit? There is an export button near the bottom of the photo page. This lets you save the image as a .bmp file which you can then open in MSpaint (in the accessories folder in the start menu) or any other painting program.
When I look at the picture on the back of the Creatures CD case there is a picture of a hot air balloon above the pond but I don't have one, where is it? You can download a hot air balloon from Slink's Specials
My norns don't seem to have an angry face. Whenever they say that they are angry they just smile and stomp their feet. Creatures 1 norns have an angry face, but they only use it *very* rarely. This is quite lucky though because the angry face is quite freaky, especially on a c1 norn.
Is there a way to make certain a female will become pregnant? There is no way to make certain a female will become pregnant when she mates. If the female is to be pregnant, she must have a certain level of fertility, lifeforce, progesterone and sex drive. If these levels are lower than they should be she will not be pregnant.
Is Norn inbreeding a problem? Not really. Because Norns only have haploid genes it makes no difference whether a Norn's mother is closely related to it's father. In fact in a such a closed breeding circle (you can't have more than 12 Norns at once) having diploid genes and all of the problems of inbreeding that come with diploid genes, would probably be a disadvantage.
Do Grendels Dance? Yes, Grendels can dance too! Their favourite is the honey wiggle.
Do Norns Dance? Yes, Norns can do a little dance sometimes. The most popular is the Choo Choo, in which the Norn faces the camera and stomps his foot on the ground, going round and round. They Sometimes moves their arms too.
What's a Wolfling Run? A Creatures game where the Norns run wild and are not looked after or taught. Sometimes there are Wolfling competitions that see which Norns survive the longest
How can i send you a norn for others to download on your website? Go to the Norn submit page and fill in the form. Then attach your creature to an email addressed to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Are there any other types of Norns? Yeah, if you look around on the internet you'll be sure to find some new breeds for any of the games.
What is the different between genomes and sprites? A genome is the genetics file for a norn. It contains all the genetic material for a norn. Sprites are the norn's pictures for the game. Norns that look different from normal norns come with the sprite files that Creatures needs to make them look like that. Without these files Creatures just makes them look like an existing breed of norns.
What's a geat? A creature that isn't norn, ettin or grendel. It's a spare slot in the creatures scriptorium for developers to create new creatures.
Where are Grendels born and how do that always end up on the island? The grendels are born in that murky jungle area where the submarine is located. At the very top there is a platform. If you look very carefully, you should see a green tube-like thing with yellow warts on it. The grendel egg comes out of there. The reason the grendels always end up on the island is they probably go over on the boat, but your guess is as good as mine!
How can you get an immortal norn? Easiest way is to download one. Norns with 100% lifeforce are called immortal norns, but they still can die if they eat poisonous stuff.
What's A Shee? The Shee were the the race that looked after the Norns, they Left Albia in search for a new, more Spherical home.
Is there anyway I could download a shee? Yes. There are shee for download at the palace of the evil shee
What is the CDN? The CDN is a forum for Creatures and Creatures 2 add-on developers. There are special documents available there and a set of fabulous newsgroups that you can use to pick more experienced developer's brains when you run into problems.
What's the difference between a cob and an agent? Agents are the fancy name for C2 cobs. All C1 cobs, and most C2 cobs are just called cobs by most people in the Creatures community.
What's a cob? A cob is a Creatures OBject. An accessory that you can import into Albia for your Norns to use. These can be useful implements like seed launches or teaching tools, toys like dolls and trains, food like icecream or any other sort of object that is already in Albia.
Cobs are new objects for Albia (often made by people who aren't from cyberlife). Creatures 2 comes with a special applet to bring them into your albia called the object injector. You can download new cobs from all over the internet and expand and add to your Albia.
What's CAOS? CAOS (creatures object/agent scripting language) is the language cobs are created in.
Is there anywhere I can find a listing of all cobs for download? Yes! You need to visit Where's the cob, a brilliant page that has a link to every known cob on the internet. It's the perfect place to find something new for C2 and an even better place to track down the URL for those indispensible cobs you lost off your harddrive.
Why won't my cobs install properly? First check you've extracted all the files to the right directories. You can find out which directories the files should go in by reading the text file of the cob you are installing.
Make sure the cob you are trying to inject was created for the game you're trying to inject it into. C1 cobs are for C1, C2 cobs are for C2 and C3 cobs are for C3. Cobs will only work in the game they're designed for.
Make sure the cob has been unzipped. If the file you are trying to import has a .zip extension, it needs to be unzipped.
For more information visit the C1, C2 and C3 cob installation pages.
Is there a limit to the number of cobs I can have in Albia? Yes there is. It takes a very large number of different types of cobs to reach that limit though.
Can norns breed before they are one hour old? Not usually.
Where do I buy Creatures? You should be able to buy it from your local software store, but if this fails, you can buy it online from the offical Creatures' site.
Why is my wagon going around and around Albia? Caos problem I'm guessing. Sometimes the cob scripts corrupt and the only thing you can do is live with it or restart your world.
Is it possible to convert a C2 or C3 norn to a C1 format? Nope, it isn't.
Where do norns go when they die? LOL! Who knows!? The recycling bin?
Is there a demo of Creatures? No. Cyberlife never released one, and isn't intending to. If you want to play Creatures you need to buy it I'm afraid.
Do I have to pay anything to have an Albia or a Norn? Yes, you need to buy the a game called Creatures. You can buy it from most software stores or from the official creatures' site. There are three games in the series.
Sometimes an egg gets stuck in the sky of Albia and I see my norns looking at it. What's with that? That's an old problem. The egg got "stuck" while it was being laid. Probably happens because your scriptorium is too full (you've got too many objects and stuff in the world). The norns will often look at the stuck egg in your world too for some reason. Anyway, don't worry about that, it's just one of the idiosyncracies of C1.
How come I can't access the genes kit in the sciece applet? That part of the science kit just lets you see some of the genes so you can compare them to previous Norns. To do any genetic engineering you need a special program like the Cyberlife one, or a third party editor like CGM or the Creatures Editor.
If a grendel hits a pregnent norn will the baby die? Probably not. Best to keep grendels away from the norns though because when they hit them they pass on glytoxin.
Is there any way to get rid of or trap the grendel so that the norns can go everywhere with out the danger of the grendel? There's a heap of solutions to this little problem! You can download a grendel selector cob that lets you select the grendel and remove it from Albia. You could also get grendel friendly to make your grendels harmless to your norns. You can also get Grendel Guard to kill your grendels as they appear or the grendel cage to trap them in a little room where they can't get out.
Why can't I import my Norns? After you reach the limit of Norns, you can't import any more. This is so Albia won't get overcrowded and that's about all an average computer can handle.
How many Norns can I have in Albia at once? Only 16. After that new eggs will not hatch.
How many Norns can I have in my world? 12 is the limit for Importing them. But you can have 16 Norns in your World, before the Incubator Closes up.
How many Norns can I have on my hard drive? You are limited only by the space on your hard drive.
Is creatures available for Macs? Creatures 1 is available for macs! For more details visit the offical Creatures' site. It's not available for C2 or C3.
My norn has "unlearnt" it's name. What do I do? Just go to the owners kit and reregister the Norn.
My Creatures won't run in windows NT. There's a patch on the creatures' support site that allows you to run C1 in windows NT. The patch comes with instructions on how to install C1 on an NT system.
Why when I export my C1 norns do they lose their registration, and I can't get it back? Just reregister the norns in the owner's kit.
My submarine has sunk! What can I do? You need to download a patch from the Cyberlife Support page. This will rescue the submarine from the deep and give you a shiney new one.
How can I talk to my norns? You just type while you're in the creatures window and press enter when you're done and it comes up on the screen and the norns can 'hear' it.
My brother wrote a swear word into my game and now I can't get it out. What can I do? Get all your norns to learn the Encyclopedia nornica books and it should get rid of the word from their vocabulary. :)
Why is it norns eat weeds but never herbs? I don't know. :) Probably just to upset the hand. Really though, you probably just notice when they eat weeds because then you've got to go try to save them from certain death.
How do I keep the lifeforce of my norns up? The lifeforce doesn't tend to rise above 77% in C1 norns unless they are genetically modified or have a cob that injects glycogen (which is what the lifeforce is measured with). As long as you keep your norns feed, away from weeds and free of disease, their lifeforce shouldn't drop rapidly.
How do I get a genetically colored norn? There are several ways. You can download a coloured Norn that someone else has breed and breed it with your own Norns in the hope of getting some coloured ones. Alternatively, you could play with an existing Norn's genes with one of the genetics program (eg. GEL or EGFB) and make them like that.
What's a moniker? The moniker is the alphanumerical name Creatures assigns to each Norn when it is born. Each norn has a unique moniker and Norns with the same moniker have the same genetic material (unless they've been altered with a gene editor). Creatures just uses this to tell one Norn appart from another.
What is the genetics kit, and where can i get it? If I can get it, is it for macintosh? You'll need to buy it from the official Creatures site. I'm not sure if you can get it for mac, but you might be able to.
What are Sprites? Sprites are the pictures for Norns and cobs. Norns and cobs are sort of two layers thick, like a piece of cake. The .exp file is a bulky layer is the special A-life programing that makes your Norn run in Albia. The sprite is like the icing, it sits on top and is what you see. If you do not have the right pictures for newer types of Norns (such as Mernorns and Albian greys) they will not import into your game as a mernorn or Albian grey. They will import as a different type of Norn that your computer all ready has the pictures for.
What sort of program do I need to create sprites? You need a paint program (like mspaint) to make the inital .bmp file. Then you need a program like the sprite editor that comes with BoBCoB to convert the .bmp file into a .s16 or .spr file that creatures can read.
How can I put COBs in my web page? Put all the files you need in a zip file and then upload it to your server. You do this the same way you put html pages and images on your server.
Next you need to link to your cob files on your page. You do this exactly the same way you would link to another website. In HTML it would look like Download my file
Finally, if it's not your cob file you are required by the copyright laws to ask permission from the author to post it. Doing this before you post any cobs will save you problems later as some authors don't like other people posting their work.

- Predictors of pulmonary failure following severe trauma: a trauma registry-based analysis (2013)
- Background: The incidence of pulmonary failure in trauma patients is considered to be influenced by several factors such as liver injury. We intended to assess the association of various potential predictors of pulmonary failure following thoracic trauma and liver injury. Methods: Records of 12,585 trauma patients documented in the TraumaRegister DGU® of the German Trauma Society were analyzed regarding the potential impact of concomitant liver injury on the incidence of pulmonary failure using uni- and multivariate analyses. Pulmonary failure was defined as pulmonary failure of ≥ 3 SOFA-score points for at least two days. Patients were subdivided according to their injury pattern into four groups: group 1: AIS thorax < 3; AIS liver < 3; group 2: AIS thorax ≥ 3; AIS liver < 3; group 3: AIS thorax < 3; AIS liver ≥ 3 and group 4: AIS thorax ≥ 3; AIS liver ≥ 3. Results: Overall, 2643 (21%) developed pulmonary failure, 12% (n= 642) in group 1, 26% (n= 697) in group 2, 16% (n= 30) in group 3, and 36% (n= 188) in group 4. Factors independently associated with pulmonary failure included relevant lung injury, pre-existing medical conditions (PMC), sex, transfusion of more than 10 units of packed red blood cells (PRBC), Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) ≤ 8, and the ISS. However, liver injury was not associated with an increased risk of pulmonary failure following severe trauma in our setting. Conclusions: Specific factors, but not liver injury, were associated with an increased risk of pulmonary failure following trauma. Trauma surgeons should be aware of these factors for optimized intensive care treatment.
- Delayed wound repair in sepsis is associated with reduced local pro-inflammatory cytokine expression (2013)
- Sepsis is one of the main causes for morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients. Moreover, sepsis associated complications involving impaired wound healing are common. Septic patients often require surgical interventions that in-turn may lead to further complications caused by impaired wound healing. We established a mouse model to the study delayed wound healing during sepsis distant to the septic focus point. For this reason cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) was combined with the creation of a superficial wound on the mouse ear. Control animals received the same procedure without CPL. Epithelialization was measured every second day by direct microscopic visualization up to complete closure of the wound. As interplay of TNF-α, TGF-β, matrix metalloproteinases (MMP), and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMP) is important in wound healing in general, TNF-α, TGF-β, MMP7, and TIMP1 were assessed immunohistochemical in samples of wounded ears harvested on days 2, 6, 10 and 16 after wounding. After induction of sepsis, animals showed a significant delay in wound epithelialization from day 2 to 12 compared to control animals. Complete wound healing was attained after mean 12.2± standard deviation (SD) 3.0 days in septic animals compared to 8.7± SD 1.7 days in the control group. Septic animals showed a significant reduction in local pro-inflammatory cytokine level of TNF-α on day 2 and day 6 as well as a reduced expression of TGF-β on day 2 in wounds. A significant lower expression of MMP7 as well as TIMP1 was also observed on day 2 after wounding. The induction of sepsis impairs wound healing distant to the septic focus point. We could demonstrate that expression of important cytokines for wound repair is deregulated after induction of sepsis. Thus restoring normal cytokine response locally in wounds could be a good strategy to enhance wound repair in sepsis.
- High Calcium Bioglass Enhances Differentiation and Survival of Endothelial Progenitor Cells, Inducing Early Vascularization in Critical Size Bone Defects (2013)
- Early vascularization is a prerequisite for successful bone healing and endothelial progenitor cells (EPC), seeded on appropriate biomaterials, can improve vascularization. The type of biomaterial influences EPC function with bioglass evoking a vascularizing response. In this study the influence of a composite biomaterial based on polylactic acid (PLA) and either 20 or 40% bioglass, BG20 and BG40, respectively, on the differentiation and survival of EPCs in vitro was investigated. Subsequently, the effect of the composite material on early vascularization in a rat calvarial critical size defect model with or without EPCs was evaluated. Human EPCs were cultured with β-TCP, PLA, BG20 or BG40, and seeding efficacy, cell viability, cell morphology and apoptosis were analysed in vitro. BG40 released the most calcium, and improved endothelial differentiation and vitality best. This effect was mimicked by adding an equivalent amount of calcium to the medium and was diminished in the presence of the calcium chelator, EGTA. To analyze the effect of BG40 and EPCs in vivo, a 6-mm diameter critical size calvarial defect was created in rats (n = 12). Controls (n = 6) received BG40 and the treatment group (n = 6) received BG40 seeded with 5×105 rat EPCs. Vascularization after 1 week was significantly improved when EPCs were seeded onto BG40, compared to implanting BG40 alone. This indicates that Ca2+ release improves EPC differentiation and is useful for enhanced early vascularization in critical size bone defects.
- Safety Evaluation of a Bioglass–Polylactic Acid Composite Scaffold Seeded with Progenitor Cells in a Rat Skull Critical-Size Bone Defect (2014)
- Treating large bone defects represents a major challenge in traumatic and orthopedic surgery. Bone tissue engineering provides a promising therapeutic option to improve the local bone healing response. In the present study tissue biocompatibility, systemic toxicity and tumorigenicity of a newly developed composite material consisting of polylactic acid (PLA) and 20% or 40% bioglass (BG20 and BG40), respectively, were analyzed. These materials were seeded with mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) and tested in a rat calvarial critical size defect model for 3 months and compared to a scaffold consisting only of PLA. Serum was analyzed for organ damage markers such as GOT and creatinine. Leukocyte count, temperature and free radical indicators were measured to determine the degree of systemic inflammation. Possible tumor occurrence was assessed macroscopically and histologically in slides of liver, kidney and spleen. Furthermore, the concentrations of serum malondialdehyde (MDA) and sodium oxide dismutase (SOD) were assessed as indicators of tumor progression. Qualitative tissue response towards the implants and new bone mass formation was histologically investigated. BG20 and BG40, with or without progenitor cells, did not cause organ damage, long-term systemic inflammatory reactions or tumor formation. BG20 and BG40 supported bone formation, which was further enhanced in the presence of EPCs and MSCs. This investigation reflects good biocompatibility of the biomaterials BG20 and BG40 and provides evidence that additionally seeding EPCs and MSCs onto the scaffold does not induce tumor formation.
- Chronic ethanol feeding modulates inflammatory mediators, activation of nuclear factor-κB, and responsiveness to endotoxin in murine Kupffer cells and circulating leukocytes (2014)
- Chronic ethanol abuse is known to increase susceptibility to infections after injury, in part, by modification of macrophage function. Several intracellular signalling mechanisms are involved in the initiation of inflammatory responses, including the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway. In this study, we investigated the systemic and hepatic effect of chronic ethanol feeding on in vivo activation of NF-κB in NF-κB(EGFP) reporter gene mice. Specifically, the study focused on Kupffer cell proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α and activation of NF-κB after chronic ethanol feeding followed by in vitro stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). We found that chronic ethanol upregulated NF-κB activation and increased hepatic and systemic proinflammatory cytokine levels. Similarly, LPS-stimulated IL-1 β release from whole blood was significantly enhanced in ethanol-fed mice. However, LPS significantly increased IL-6 and TNF-α levels. These results demonstrate that chronic ethanol feeding can improve the responsiveness of macrophage LPS-stimulated IL-6 and TNF-α production and indicate that this effect may result from ethanol-induced alterations in intracellular signalling through NF-κB. Furthermore, LPS and TNF-α stimulated the gene expression of different inflammatory mediators, in part, in a NF-κB-dependent manner.
- Circulating leukotriene b4 identifies respiratory complications after trauma (2012)
- Background. Leukotriene B4 (LTB4), a proinflammatory lipid mediator correlates well with the acute phase of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Therefore, LTB4-levels were investigated to determine whether they might be a useful clinical marker in predicting pulmonary complications (PC) in multiply traumatized patients. Methods: Plasma levels of LTB4 were determined in 100 patients on admission (ED) and for five consecutive days (daily). Twenty healthy volunteers served as control. LTB4-levels were measured by ELISA. Thirty patients developed PC (pneumonia, respiratory failure, acute lung injury (ALI), ARDS, pulmonary embolism) and 70 had no PC (ØPC). Results. LTB4-levels in the PC-group [127.8 pg/mL, IQR: 104–200pg/ml] were significantly higher compared to the ØPC-group on admission [95.6 pg/mL, IQR: 55–143 pg/mL] or control-group [58.4 pg/mL, IQR: 36–108 pg/mL]. LTB4 continuously declined to basal levels from day 1 to 5 without differences between the groups. The cutoff to predict PC was calculated at 109.6 pg/mL (72% specificity, 67% sensitivity). LTB4 was not influenced by overall or chest injury severity, age, gender or massive transfusion. Patients with PC received mechanical ventilation for a significantly longer period of time, and had prolonged intensive care unit and overall hospital stay. Conclusion. High LTB4-levels indicate risk for PC development in multiply traumatized patients
- Soluble triggering receptor on myeloid cells-1 is expressed in the course of non-infectious inflammation after traumatic lung contusion : a prospective cohort study (2011)
- Introduction: The triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) is known to be expressed during bacterial infections. We investigated whether TREM-1 is also expressed in non-infectious inflammation following traumatic lung contusion. Methods: In a study population of 45 adult patients with multiple trauma and lung contusion, we obtained bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) (blind suctioning of 20 ml NaCl (0.9%) via jet catheter) and collected blood samples at two time points (16 hours and 40 hours) after trauma. Post hoc patients were assigned to one of four groups radiologically classified according to the severity of lung contusion based on the initial chest tomography. Concentration of soluble TREM-1 (sTREM-1) and bacterial growth were determined in the BAL. sTREM-1, IL-6, IL-10, lipopolysaccharide binding protein, procalcitonin, C-reactive protein and leukocyte count were assessed in blood samples. Pulmonary function was evaluated by the paO2/FiO2 ratio. Results: Three patients were excluded due to positive bacterial growth in the initial BAL. In 42 patients the severity of lung contusion correlated with the levels of sTREM-1 16 hours and 40 hours after trauma. sTREM-1 levels were significantly (P < 0.01) elevated in patients with severe contusion (2,184 pg/ml (620 to 4,000 pg/ml)) in comparison with patients with mild (339 pg/ml (135 to 731 pg/ml)) or no (217 pg/ml (97 to 701 pg/ml)) contusion 40 hours following trauma. At both time points the paO2/FiO2 ratio correlated negatively with sTREM-1 levels (Spearman correlation coefficient = -0.446, P < 0.01). Conclusions: sTREM-1 levels are elevated in the BAL of patients following pulmonary contusion. Furthermore, the levels of sTREM-1 in the BAL correlate well with both the severity of radiological pulmonary tissue damage and functional impairment of gas exchange (paO2/FiO2 ratio).
- Acute ethanol gavage attenuates hemorrhage/resuscitation-induced hepatic oxidative stress in rats (2012)
- Acute ethanol intoxication increases the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Hemorrhagic shock with subsequent resuscitation (H/R) also induces ROS resulting in cellular and hepatic damage in vivo. We examined the role of acute ethanol intoxication upon oxidative stress and subsequent hepatic cell death after H/R. 14 h before H/R, rats were gavaged with single dose of ethanol or saline (5 g/kg, EtOH and ctrl; H/R_EtOH or H/R_ctrl, resp.). Then, rats were hemorrhaged to a mean arterial blood pressure of 30 ± 2 mmHg for 60 min and resuscitated. Two control groups underwent surgical procedures without H/R (sham_ctrl and sham_EtOH, resp.). Liver tissues were harvested at 2, 24, and 72 h after resuscitation. EtOH-gavage induced histological picture of acute fatty liver. Hepatic oxidative (4-hydroxynonenal, 4-HNE) and nitrosative (3-nitrotyrosine, 3-NT) stress were significantly reduced in EtOH-gavaged rats compared to controls after H/R. Proapoptotic caspase-8 and Bax expressions were markedly diminished in EtOH-gavaged animals compared with controls 2 h after resuscitation. EtOH-gavage increased antiapoptotic Bcl-2 gene expression compared with controls 2 h after resuscitation. iNOS protein expression increased following H/R but was attenuated in EtOH-gavaged animals after H/R. Taken together, the data suggest that acute EtOH-gavage may attenuate H/R-induced oxidative stress thereby reducing cellular injury in rat liver.
- C-Jun N-terminal kinase 2 promotes liver injury via the mitochondrial permeability transition after hemorrhage and resuscitation (2012)
- Hemorrhagic shock leads to hepatic hypoperfusion and activation of mitogen-activated stress kinases (MAPK) like c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) 1 and 2. Our aim was to determine whether mitochondrial dysfunction leading to hepatic necrosis and apoptosis after hemorrhage/resuscitation (H/R) was dependent on JNK2. Under pentobarbital anesthesia, wildtype (WT) and JNK2 deficient (KO) mice were hemorrhaged to 30 mm Hg for 3 h and then resuscitated with shed blood plus half the volume of lactated Ringer's solution. Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), necrosis, apoptosis and oxidative stress were assessed 6 h after resuscitation. Mitochondrial polarization was assessed by intravital microscopy. After H/R, ALT in WT-mice increased from 130 U/L to 4800 U/L. In KO-mice, ALT after H/R was blunted to 1800 U/l (P < 0.05). Necrosis, caspase-3 activity and ROS were all substantially decreased in KO compared to WT mice after H/R. After sham operation, intravital microscopy revealed punctate mitochondrial staining by rhodamine 123 (Rh123), indicating normal mitochondrial polarization. At 4 h after H/R, Rh123 staining became dim and diffuse in 58% of hepatocytes, indicating depolarization and onset of the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT). By contrast, KO mice displayed less depolarization after H/R (23%, P < 0.05). In conclusion, JNK2 contributes to MPT-mediated liver injury after H/R.
- Myeloid knockout of HIF-1 α does not markedly affect hemorrhage/resuscitation-induced inflammation and hepatic injury. (2014)
- Background. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and NF-κB play important roles in the inflammatory response after hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation (H/R). Here, the role of myeloid HIF-1α in liver hypoxia, injury, and inflammation after H/R with special regard to NF-κB activation was studied. Methods. Mice with a conditional HIF-1α knockout (KO) in myeloid cell-line and wild-type (WT) controls were hemorrhaged for 90 min ( mm Hg) and resuscitated. Controls underwent only surgical procedures. Results. After six hours, H/R enhanced the expression of HIF-1α-induced genes vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and adrenomedullin (ADM). In KO mice, this was not observed. H/R-induced liver injury in HIF-1α KO was comparable to WT. Elevated plasma interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels after H/R were not reduced by HIF-1α KO. Local hepatic hypoxia was not significantly reduced in HIF-1α KO compared to controls after H/R. H/R-induced NF-κB phosphorylation in liver did not significantly differ between WT and KO. Conclusions. Here, deleting HIF-1α in myeloid cells and thereby in Kupffer cells was not protective after H/R. This data indicates that other factors, such as NF-κB, due to its upregulated phosphorylation in WT and KO mice, contrary to HIF-1α, are rather key modulators of inflammation after H/R in our model.

Taylor Lautner is smoking on GQ Australia's October-November cover! This, guys, is retro done right, as opposed to Ian Somerhalder in Flaunt where the vintage vibe is just whack. He's like the dapper, younger Don Draper without the angst! Side-parted hair? Checkkit!
Taylor's interview with the mag also shows what a baller he is. He's bought a silver, 2012 SLS AMG Mercedes-Benz whose basic model starts at $175,000. We're guessing he didn't just buy a basic version though. He said, "As you know, I've been driving the same car [a BMW 5 series] for the past four years. But I've always been a huge car fan. And I would always go to dealerships and drool. And I definitely always had my eye on this car. And it was a long process before I even considered getting a car like that. It's a childhood dream." We love the little humble bit in the end but dude still has major cred. We also suggest that you make sure to check out the gallery here for some seriously drool-worthy photographs of Tay. It makes the interview look like ancient Greek.

Here's a Camco 20, 12, 14 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Camco-Oaklaw...#ht_500wt_1202 on eBay. Guy wants $1600. Watch it, see if he gets it. Maybe it'll help you decide what to do.
Most important items to get, are the lugs to complete the rack tom. You can fudge with generic triple flange hoops, to get the kit up-and-running. And you can use non-Camco tension rods, etc., to cut cost. No one says you have to do a restore job all at once. Make the kit playable, then work on the originality part of it. This is the finish I'd want http://www.ebay.com/itm/Camco-Chanut...a19974f#ht_143 and it's only 3 grand.

THE MAJ CAFE BAR NOW OPENWednesday, July 7th, 2010
The Maj Cafe Bar has re-opened, and it looks and feels amazing!
The sparkling new space feels much more open, and includes sumptuous new fuchsia leather couches (which are extremely comfortable!), ambient lighting and a spectacular bevelled, black glass wall behind a sweeping curved bar.
The Maj has been the main bar for HMT patrons for years, and we wanted to do something special for you all. The award-winning team at DEA Interiors and our own HMT crew have transformed the space into something amazing. Impressively, the whole construction was completed in just over four weeks, and during a time when we were also bumping-in the extensive Mary Poppins set!
The café trades during the day, with our new chef serving hot breakfasts (including the famous Maj Muffin) and fresh lunches, including daily soup, sandwiches, delicious salads and other winter warmers! We're still pouring the same great Vittoria Coffee, and as a licensed café and bar, our extensive list of wines, champagnes and beers is available whenever The Maj is open!
Importantly, The Maj still has that special touch of 'theatrical magic' that made it so warm and welcoming. So when you're next in town, make sure you come and check it out.
REVAMP OF THE MAJ CAFE UNDERWAYMonday, June 7th, 2010
A complete revamp of The Maj Cafe and Bar has now begun in earnest! It will reopen on Tuesday 6 July, just in time for the Australian premiere of Mary Poppins!
The Maj has been the main bar for Her Majesty's Theatre patrons for years, and we wanted to do something special for all our patrons, both those who visit the cafe during the day, and the bar during performances. The sparkling new space includes sumptuous new furniture, atmospheric lighting and a spectacular bevelled, black glass wall behind a sweeping curved bar.
The upgraded bar and open design will give patrons even easier and faster access to the bars during performances, and make it a much more comfortable space during the day – without losing any of that special 'theatrical magic' for which The Maj has become renowned! You'll be able to enjoy great coffee, even better food for breakfast and lunch, and access our extensive and popular wine list!
The creative designers from DEA Interiors, who were recently announced with three finalists in the Retail Design Institute Awards, are undertaking the design and renovation of The Maj. They have created a stunning design, using the Art Deco architecture style as a base and developing a unique and special atmosphere that complements the whole theatre.
Everyone at HMT can't wait to open this newly-designed space to all friends of The Maj. Be sure to check back here for updates as the work progresses, and join us on 6th July for the relaunch!

Many have heard this show, thanks to the LivePhish release. I was so happy they put out a soundboard of this one. After the Murat this is a close second for my favorite show I've attended. The lawn was empty, the pavilion was half full at best. I was there with many friends and we got booted from hanging and drinking by the car from some of Tinley Park's finest.
The first set from this show seemed very standard at the time. "Chalk Dust" opener, "Guelah Papyrus", "The Horse" > "Silent", a great "Esther" and a set closing "Cavern". Then Set 2, though: whoa! A first time (for me) "2001" (which rocked my socks off!) To quote Comic Book Guy: "Best `Antelope' Ever". This started off standard but led to "Sparks" (I am a huge Who fan, so I was freakin') > "Walk Away" > "Have Mercy" > "Antelope"- You have all heard it... so sick live!
At this time I wasn't into checking Phish's setlists so I really had no idea some of the songs they had been playing, which was nice for "Purple Rain" as it seemed like such a far out surprise for everyone. After the encore of "La Grange", which was my hometown at the time, I really felt this had been a special show. Top notch all the way!
papyrus, divided sky, ice, and melt are really well-played in the first set, but like i said, the second set is champ here. the 2001>antelope combo starts out standard for '93, but antelope really starts to get out there. after a pretty rocking jam, the find themselves moving seemlessly through the who's "sparks". they work this in brilliantly and do not miss a note as they crash into walk away. after a bit of jamming, they find themselves working breifly bake through the antelope theme, but this is short lived. they move nicely right into have mercy. gordon has some fun playing in the antelope/mercy/antelope section of this "song." after a rousing closing to antelope, you would expect a breather, but they play a really nice version of mound. coil and stone offer the breather, but then yem is a crazy funky dance party. full of teases and good times. the rest of this set is standard fare. la grange is one of my favorite covers... good rowdy closer.
this is pretty standard aug '93, with a buck wild antelope mixed in there. you absolutely have to hear the antelope!
As for The Murat/Tinley being two of the sickest back-to-back shows, I've never thought about it, but I challenge you to find two better. The only possibility (in my experience) would be the greatly unheralded first night from the Roxy, 2/19/93, and the greatly heralded second night. Other than that, you're gonna have to help me out on that one...
I bought two tickets to the World Music Theater; having scene stupid Warrant/Skid Row there for free couple years prior.
Being a slight loner, I had no one to really ask to go with me. I talked a classic hipster/grunge college buddy into going with me to the show. At this point, I was quite used to Dead lot scenes. Lots of vending and hippies galore. Surprised to find the Phish scene quite different. Lots of preps actually. But people knew the songs! Everyone there was with it. They still seemed so underground.
I remember the seating was "General Admission", even in the pavilion. Never seen that. We dropped "orange tabs" of sunshine?double?dipped?don't?remember?something beautiful.... I remember running back to my seat during the first riffs of Chalk Dust. Being my first show, I just took it all in. The band supplied so much. Everyone had good seats, in that they pretty much had the seats they wanted.
Some will say this is the stars talking, but I saw a moth land on Page's piano during his solo in 'Coil. The first set was great.
Second set opened with 2001. I'd never seen lights move up to the right like that before...cool. Daniel saw the stone was neat. Esther....I'm still chasing. The second speaks for itself.
1. It's actually kind of nice to get a Melt that doesn't go into full-scale teeth-grinding dissonance (the 7/13/14 Melt is nastier than this one!), but instead provides a surprisingly nearly melodic jam thanks to Trey's soloing that makes this one stand out a bit more from the usual psychedelic/dirt-nasty Melts of the mid-90s.
2. You can, I think, actually consider the Antelope here as a trial run for the fabled Tweezerfest of 5/7/94, as out of a *wild* Antelope jam (the Dixie tease leading into a surprising classic-rock jam) the band puts together a beautiful little run of segues that include a few of the ones we get in the Bomb Factory show (Sparks, Walk Away), while not sparing any of the usual ferociousness we associate with Antelope from this era. The fun thing about this jam, of course, is that we get the Antelope ending to top things off, kinda like a Playin' jam sandwich from those other fellas.
3. To draw another Dead parallel, the other interesting thing about this show is seeing the Phish of the mid-90s, before 1997 brought on the four-song second set era, having no problem plugging in a few "song" songs in between the big jams. A Mound/Coil/Daniel Saw The Stone run is nothing to sneeze at, certainly (who doesn't like those songs?), but that's 20 minutes of 2nd set real estate with nary a jam to be found. Think of it as their Big River/Toodle-oo tendency, if you'd like.
4. This is a prototypical pre-94 YEM (when, IMO, YEM really turned a corner before its 1995 peak); you've got teases up the wazoo, a Smoke On The Water jam and goofy Speed Racer am, and energy for days (more of the manic rock kind than the nasty funk kind, of course). The slide into Purple Rain is the icing on the cake.
5. One last thing to consider about this show - how much it illustrates the way that Phish evolved. August 1993 really captures the group with one foot in the early-90s (manic energy, a billion quotes and teases, lots and lots of songs) and the other in the 1994-95 era (leaps into the void, exceedingly clever and nigh-perfect segues, better setlist flow); the extraordinary thing is that a group right smack in the middle of its evolution from one to the other managed to churn out so many great shows while making that transition. You get the weirdness to spare of a show like 8/6, astonishing jams like the 8/26 Reba, and the combination of the two in shows like 8/13 and this one. We're over two decades past and these shows are still beloved and still gaining new fans every day, and it's very easy to see why.
One thing though, which I'm sure people have debated before in the years since this show's date / subsequent archival release - whether in a group or in one's own mind - is the tiny little question of whether we should add a footnote regarding the Band's (obvious) jaunt into David Bowie, post-WalkAway, right after the LivePhish-titled 'Tinley Park Jam' section, in the minute leading up to HaveMercy (c'mon you know what I mean).
Few Questions to Raise Here:
1) Did Trey forget which song he was in?
- Quite possible, given that this was one of the 1st HUGE, extended segue-fests the band experimented with, wandering all over the place. Also, with all the furious enthusiasm/enthusiastic fury that goes into a song like RLAA, one might expect that, at one point or another in a meandering musical journey, the band/Trey may mistakenly slip into a similarly wild song like Bowie. Once the band picked the pace back up, I wonder if Trey's excitement shot the tempo up a little too fast into final Bowie jam territory / final hyper-speed Antelope jam territory which is basically the same format as Bowie just diff key.
2) Or was it actually planned?
- Also very possible, given that Red was maniacally insane - whether it was thought up pre-set/Antelope or on the fly like we all hope was the case. I don't think that's what happened, and I believe in #1 above; I actually appreciate the enthusiasm and slight screw-up more than a planned set aspect. Trey was just giving his all, even if it wasn't the same song, and I really believe he dropped the band back down into Have Mercy as a chance to regroup and find the key for RLAA. This also might explain why he chose to sing the RyeRyeRocco portion in Have Mercy melody, giving him more time to collect himself.
3) Who cares? (I mean, it's PHISH, just appreciate the magic.)
- Welp, I do. And yes, this is pure geekery to spend time thinking/writing about this for an extended period of time, but I'm a geek. A Phish geek. Additionally: 1) Antelope and Bowie are two of my fav songs, I love the early Phish, especially the mean/nasty stuff like those two, Stash, Melt, the like. and 2) Thousands of minor notes have been added to this site, like another boring Oye Como Va tease in Twist (which should go away), so what's one little "Full-band Bowie tease" going to hurt here? It sure will make this guy happy, regardless of the true intentions from the band's perspective.
Anyway..........END BOWIE-related RANT (until next time).

It may be the end of the line for bus service for one north metro community.
Talks are underway to possibly end bus service from Forest Lake to Saint Paul. Riders heading to Saint Paul wouldn't be able to board a bus at the Forest Lake Transit Center, instead they would have to drive to a park and ride in Lino Lakes which will open later this year.
Riders and Forest Lake city officials are upset over the possible change. Metro Transit tells us there have been discussions about cutting service to Forest Lake, but there are no immediate plans to change the route and they're monitoring ridership.
