JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Swimming beaches at the Lake of the Ozarks and Lake Wappapello will remain closed.
The state Department of Natural Resources says Grand Glaize Beach at Lake of the Ozarks would be closed because water samples found high levels of E. coli bacteria. A second beach at the Lake of the Ozarks in Kaiser is open.
The beach at Lake Wappapello State Park in southeastern Missouri was to remain closed because of flooding.

Bensam, P (1996) Occurrence of milkfish Chanos chanos (Forsskal) postlarvae in the continental slope northwest of Cochin, as collected by FORV Sagar Sampada. Indian Journal of Fisheires, 43 (4). pp. 417-421.
Postlarvae of Chanos chanos were collected in April 1985 by FORV Sagar Sampada from the continental slope at a distance of 52 km off Cochin where the depth to bottom measured 1,125 m. Three stages of development were available, measuring 5.23, 8.38 and 8.36 mm in total length, which are about 3 to 10 days old and hitherto undescribed from India. The diagnostic characters by which the present postlarvae can be distinguished from those of allied groups such as Elops, Megalops and Clupeidae are given. The present record highlights their occurrence in the oceanic regions thereby suggesting that the spawning grounds of this fish might extend to such distant and deep areas.

CONTEMPT (FRANCE 1963) JEAN-LUC GODARD This ironic drama is perhaps Godard's 8½. A writer (Michel Piccoli) is lured by a Hollywood producer (Jack Palance) into rewriting a screenplay of the Odyssey. His wife (Brigitte Bardot) doesn't want him to sell out.
|28 November
SEX, LIES AND VIDEOTAPE (USA 1989) STEVEN SODERBERGH A sensitive Cannes Palme d'Or winner. Dialogue-driven rather than physically
explicit, it nevertheless explores the intimate details of a quartet of discontents in a sexy as well as finely crafted way, and with humour.
|30 January 2015
BLACK ORPHEUS (BRAZ/FRA 1959) MARCEL CAMUS The Greek legend is transposed to the carnival in Rio. The doomed lovers play out their fate against a background of noisy exoticism, colour and above all great music – from Antonio Carlos Jobim, Joao Gilberto et al. Oscar and Palme d'Or winner at Cannes.
|27 February 2015
WINGS OF DESIRE (GERMANY 1987) WIM WENDERS Two angels watch above postwar Berlin, sometimes descending to support those in distress.
One (Bruno Ganz) falls – to earth and in love with a trapeze artist. Part philosophical, part political, hugely acclaimed ('a meditation on being alive').
|27 March 2015
MY LEFT FOOT (IRE/UK 1989) JIM SHERIDAN Christy Brown had control of his left foot only, but the film celebrates his artistic achievements. No sentimental weepie, but an honest portrayal of his life in a tough Dublin family.
Daniel Day-Lewis's Christy is a virtuoso performance.
|24 April 2015
SHOOT THE PIANIST (FRANCE 1960) FRANÇOIS TRUFFAUT Charles Aznavour is a washed up pianist who gets involved with gangster lowlife. After 400 Blows, Truffaut melded Hollywood style with French new wave camera tricks and jokes in a pastiche gangster love story with a cabaret setting.
|29 May 2015
THE MUSIC ROOM (INDIA 1958) SATYAJIT RAY A wonderfully evocative drama about an elderly aristocrat resisting change by investing in classical Indian musicians. It is one of Ray's most magnificently visual films, with a ravishing score. There is irony as well as affection in this masterpiece.

Monkeys fed fish oil rich diet have more developed brain networks
A new study has found that monkeys that ate a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids had brains with highly connected and well organized neural networks, which in some ways are akin to the neural networks in healthy humans.
Meanwhile, monkeys that ate a diet deficient in the fatty acids had much more limited brain networking, according to an Oregon Health and Science University study.
The study provides further evidence for the importance of omega-3 fatty acids in healthy brain development.
It also represents the first time scientists have been able to use functional brain imaging in live animals to see the large-scale interaction of multiple brain networks in a monkey.
These patterns are remarkably similar to the networks found in humans using the same imaging techniques.
"The data shows the benefits in how the monkeys' brains organize over their lifetime if in the setting of a diet high in omega-3 fatty acids," Damien Fair, PA-C, Ph.D., assistant professor of behavioral neuroscience and assistant professor of psychiatry in the OHSU School of Medicine and senior author on the paper, said.
"The data also shows in detail how similar the networks in a monkey brain are to networks in a human brain, but only in the context of a diet rich in omega-3-fatty acids," he said.
The study is published in the Journal of Neuroscience.

La leggenda del santo bevitore (literally "The legend of the holy drinker") is a 1988 Italian film directed by Ermanno Olmi. It tells the story of a drunken homeless man (played by Rutger Hauer) in Paris who is lent 200 francs by a stranger as long as he promises to repay it to a local church when he can afford to; the film depicts the man's constant frustrations as he attempts to do so. The film won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. It is based on the 1939 novella by the Austrian novelist, Joseph Roth.

Many musicians are family-people and even bring their families with them, like I do. One great find for the traveling family is the B.O.B. Stroller.

7 amazingly simple but effective ways to reach
today's visual generation.
A great task lies before you. You're in a room full of children,
and you're trying to keep order, but nothing you try works. When
you glance at your watch, horror strikes your soul: There are still
45 minutes left before the children's parents return! You've just
used your last game and last song, and now you're wondering what
you're going to do to survive the next 45 minutes.
Suddenly you see the magic button! You rush over and push it! The
kids grow strangely quiet and sit down. They're mesmerized. You've
captured their attention, and they're absorbed by what's in front
of them. Why are they captivated? Because you just pushed play on
the DVD player.
Yes, it's true. The children you and I minister to are part of the
visual generation. Christian apologist Ravi Zacharias says that
this postmodern culture "hears with its eyes and thinks with its
Due to video games, television, movies, and the Internet, the
majority of children respond extremely well to visual interaction.
The average child watches over 18,000 hours of television before
high school graduation. Children see more movies than they read
As a result, they come to our churches with expectations that
are out of harmony with our traditional approaches. What worked for
previous generations may not be working for them.
You see, our message is timeless, but our methods must change to
effectively communicate that message to children in this culture.
Leonard Sweet, in his book SoulTsunami, says, "The church
is still on dirt roads, or worse yet, cowpaths. We are trying to
pave cowpaths with asphalt when we should be building the
superhighway with electronics."
The secular world spends billions of dollars each year to convey
visual messages to our children. Cartoons are now available 24
hours a day. Video stores are in almost every town and kids can
stream movies 24-hours-a-day. Children's movies are produced
constantly. They're all geared to enter the hearts of our children
through their eyes. The secular world knows what the church has
failed for the most part to recognize: What kids see, they
Three years ago we decided with God's help to touch this visual
generation through the language of their culture. We still have a
long way to go and are constantly looking for ways to improve. We
realize that change is constant and that we may need to do some
things differently in the future, but as of today we've committed
to do these seven things to touch this visual generation with God's
We've found that in today's culture, very few teachers have the
ability to hold children's attention without visual aids. Experts
tell us that we only remember about 10 percent of what we hear but
as much as 50 percent of what we see and hear. When our teachers
use visual aids, student retention goes up 500 percent! Experts
also tell us that only 13 percent of our present knowledge came
from the sense of hearing, but 75 percent came through the sense of
We encourage our teachers each week to bring visual aids into
their teaching. A simple object from your home can help the
children in your class remember the lesson and put it into practice
that week. A pair of your baby shoes and your current shoes can
show how much you've grown physically and be used to encourage kids
to keep growing spiritually.
Use videos, puppets, flannel boards, object lessons, masks,
costumes, posters, puzzles, and anything else visual you can get
your hands on. For a powerful visual, videotape your kids acting
out a Bible story. Then plug the videotape into your television.
Push play, and allow the kids to watch themselves.
PowerPoint and Flash computer programs have enabled us to make
visual presentations. Every song, Bible verse, review game, and
lesson in our children's services is projected on a large screen.
With PowerPoint, we can place animated images in our presentations
for a new visual level. There's something animated on screen
through just about every part of our services. PowerPoint and Flash
programs are excellent tools for sharing God's Word with this
visual generation.
Music videos are such a big part of today's visual culture. We use
contemporary Christian music videos to convey positive,
life-changing messages to the children while they're waiting for
the service to start or for their parents to pick them up
afterward. We want to take advantage of every moment to touch kids
visually for Christ. In our hallways, we've also mounted several
televisions, and we have music videos playing as the children enter
their classrooms.
Some children have been watching music videos during the week
that don't portray Christian values. Christian music videos can
show kids the love of Christ and a lifestyle that honors God.

Detailed Description:
Disorders of the Ras pathway have significant phenotypic overlap and include Noonan syndrome, CFC syndrome, Legius syndrome, Costello syndrome and neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). NF1 is one of the most common genetic disorders presenting in childhood with an incidence of 1/3000. NF1 is associated with skeletal abnormalities such as short stature, scoliosis, and long bone fracture with non-union. We recently reported that children with NF1 have abnormalities of bone and muscle architecture as evidenced by decreased bone mineral density, decreased bone strength, and low muscle mass, all of which may predispose them to fractures and scoliosis (Stevenson et al., 2005, 2007, 2009). Our preliminary data show that children with NF1 have poor motor coordination and muscle strength, potentially secondary to abnormal neuromotor learning. We hypothesize that poor motor coordination and decreased muscle strength contribute to the osteopenia in NF1. Our objective is to identify effective and non-invasive strategies to improve motor coordination, muscle strength, and bone and muscle architecture in children with disorders of the Ras pathway, in hopes of decreasing fractures and improving physical activity levels. Plyometric physical training consists of quick, high-intensity, weight-bearing movements, and is an encouraging intervention for use in these children.

Eric Walden's NFL Four Downs: There's lots on the line, like hatred and regret
First down
Baltimore at Cincinnati, 11 a.m., Ch. 2 • These teams made fans overjoyed to have splurged on tickets to last season's finale when they sat their starters after two series because there was nothing at stake. Surely this year will be different, though. The Bengals could be the No. 2 seed if they win and if the Pats lose to the Bills. So probably not. The Ravens, though, must need a win to get in, right? Unless the Chargers, Dolphins and Steelers all lose, too. So ⦠how much did those tickets cost?
Second down
Carolina at Atlanta, 11 a.m., Ch. 13 • Van Halen reunited with David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar for huge tours, only for all involved to remember belatedly they hate each other and decide that the payday wasn't worth it. Meanwhile, Guns N' Roses have reportedly turned down similar offers, on account of Axl Rose and Slash realizing being richer than Midas still wouldn't be worth the misery. Anyway, I know nothing about Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez's musical tastes, but I'd like to think he prefers GN'R to VH.
Third down
Denver at Oakland, 2:25 p.m., Ch. 2 • The Raiders owe soon-to-be-ex-Texans-interim coach Wade Phillips a beatdown. After he suggested Peyton Manning doesn't really own the single-season TD passes record, on account of the league allegedly telling him a Manning TD to Eric Decker vs. Houston shouldn't have counted, you know Manning will throw sixish TDs just to prove a point. Maybe Oakland can throw Nnamdi Asomugha out there one last time he's spent the last 3 years getting beat for TDs anyway.
Fourth down
San Francisco at Arizona, 2:25 p.m., Ch. 13 • I'm shocked to see Arizona with 10 wins and in contention for a playoff spot. Especially with Carson Palmer as the quarterback, given that he commits a turnover about as often as Miley Cyrus pretends to hump something. Of course, the Cards' chances hinge upon them beating the Niners and the 4-11 Bucs beating the Saints. So I like them getting in about as much as I like the decision to show this game instead of Green Bay at Chicago.
The final down
Philadelphia at Dallas, 6:30 p.m., Ch. 5 • I won't even pretend to be objective. I'm an Eagles fan, and I couldn't loathe the Cowboys more if I were Stewart Copeland and they were Gordon Sumner (if you don't know, Al Gore invented the internet). And so I laugh at the Dallas fans who once skewered Tony Romo and now cry over him. Nothing can screw this up. Except maybe for my Washington-fan friend calling with good-luck wishes. If he spreads his team's stank onto my team â¦

Pee Wee Herman got a chin transplant!!

It's that guy.
"Now that's some vintage vagina. A 1989, perhaps?"
They get him to act the same as they did Mr Ed…a little peanut butter on the roof of his mouth.
See, if Rumer Willis was handsome, she'd look like this.
Post-hummer face, circa 1963.
"What a great turkey we just had. I just can't wait for the Christmas me."
"And then she taught me how to swallow, although apparently you can still get pregnant…"
But will anyone get it?
Gotta see the shoes first.
That photo is the definition of a "shit-eating grin."
"Wait a sec…I just need to swallow my disgust for January before our scene starts…"
Obviously coming from January's trailer: "I know who the father is, la la la la, I know who the father is…."
Borderline odd thumb, perhaps?

Renting versus buying debate continues to rage
Home values and mortgage rates are lower than ever, which makes buying a home look better than renting like never before. However, there are a lot of catches involved.
Census shows rent and mortgage payments at near parity
According to MSNBC, data from the most recent U.S. Census reveals that the average national mortgage payment and rent payments are close to reaching parity, as both were about $700 at the end of 2011.
Interest rates for mortgages are continuing to stay low. According to the Washington Post, the national average 15-year fixed-rate mortgage rate was 3.17 percent on Thursday, Jan. 18 and the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rate was 3.88 percent.
In other words, owning a home is becoming cheaper, which resurrects the argument of whether it's better to rent or to buy.
Catches still the same
On the face, it appears that home ownership is better, because instead of money going to a landlord, it's purchasing an asset. However, there are a few hitches.
First, the mortgage rate. Numerous outlets report that mortgage rates are low, but those are misleading as not everyone qualifies for them. Credit rating is a factor in the rate a person is offered, and as MSNBC points out, many lenders are requiring a credit score of 700 these days. The rate each individual gets determines the economy of scale.
Second, the down payment. The average home price, according to Forbes, was $164,500 in December 2011. Assuming a 20 percent mortgage down payment is required, the average person will have to come up with $32,900 to purchase a home. Assuming a person has to pay first and last month's rent as the security deposit on a rental, the average renter only has to come up with $1,400, assuming rent of $700.
Then there are closing costs, sales taxes and property taxes. Renters, according to MSNBC, would only have to worry about losing the deposit and perhaps a brokerage fee, if they go through a broker. Landlords raising the rent could be an issue, but not every landlord does. Renters are also not responsible for repair costs.
[Home repairs are a common reason people get payday loans]
The possible upside
A possible upside to buying instead of renting is that when home owners leave, they sell the home. The home could sell for for more than the purchase price. However, that only pays off if the the sale price is also more than purchase price plus the cost of any improvements, realtor fees and sales taxes.
One must also account for inflation. Houses usually increase in nominal value, or the number of dollars they are worth. That said, monetary inflation, which has been constant, means that every year, there are more dollars in the economy and $1 buys a little less. If the price of a home only keeps pace with the rate of inflation, real appreciation hasn't occurred, as the number of dollars the house commands buys the same amount of goods and services.

The cerebellum (located at the back of the head near the nape of the neck) is responsible for balance and muscle coordination. It's the area that allows your baby to progress from rolling over to crawling and then to walking.
This area also coordinates motor and sensory functions. In other words, it combines signals from all of your baby's senses to help her figure out what she's feeling when she moves around.
The cerebellum also helps with higher brain functions, such as learning music and language. And some researchers believe the cerebellum may play a critical role in the way children process social cues, which could help explain the cause of autism (a developmental disorder associated with communication and social impairment).
To learn more about the activities controlled by the cerebellum, see the following articles:

FILE - In this Nov. 12, 2010, file photo, Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald T. Sterling, right, sits with his wife Rochelle during the Clippers NBA basketball game against the Detroit Pistons in Los Angeles. An attorney representing the estranged wife of Clippers owner Donald Sterling said Thursday, May 8, 2014, that she will fight to retain her 50 percent ownership stake in the team.
Donald Sterling has agreed to transfer his ownership share of the Los Angeles Clippers to his wife Shelly, who will voluntarily move to sell the team, according to a person familiar with the negotiations.
The person spoke to USA TODAY Sports Friday on condition of anonymity because of the private nature of the talks.
The person declined to say why Shelly Sterling decided to change her mind after previously saying she would fight to keep her 50% ownership share of the team. ...

I am not so sure I have the correct form on deadlifts. It just feels as though I am bending my knees too much on the way down. I have a shoulder width stance with my hands on the outside of them.
Am I supposed to fully lock out my knees before I straighten my back?
Should I be feeling it in my legs more than my back?

We have a new arrival in the world of Bitsy! Introducing… Baby Hudson! This little guy is actually the son of one of my good friends and I had the opportunity to see the Bitsy in action with him. He is a little wiggle worm, but still no match for the Bitsy bag as it stayed in place the whole time he was kicking and stretching. When I see babies this shiny and new (he is only a day old in this picture!) it reminds me of the purity of life and all that is good. Babies are truly one of the greatest teachers that bring us back to a mindset of gratitude and awe, and constantly remind us that life is truly a miracle. I am so thankful that we are in the baby business and get to serve these little guys.
So please give a warm welcome to little Hudson, who will grow to be a mighty force in this world. Welcome to this wonderful thing we call life.

Annual ringette tourney ends well for locals
In the midst of the 2013 Pierrefonds Ringette Tournament that spread over four days and saw 85 teams from five provinces compete, the Benjamine B Pierrefonds 1 squad bested Pierrefonds 2 in overtime in the tournamentŌĆÖs finals Sunday afternoon at Sportplexe 4-Glaces in Pierrefonds.
In a hotly contested game, Pierrefonds 1 overcame a 5-2 second-period deficit to grab a 6-5 victory with a goal by Sophie Larouche 44 seconds into the overtime period.
ŌĆ£Like every game we play against them, it was close. It was up and down all the time. It was great for us to come back from a 5-2 deficit and win the game in overtime,ŌĆØ said Pierrefonds 1 head coach Len Alexander.
Wanting to avenge their initial 5-3 loss in the tournamentŌĆÖs round-robin section, Pierrefonds 1 came out strong early in the first period. They hovered around goaltender Julie FournierŌĆÖs net until Kaitlin Coyle scored 35 seconds into the contest.
Pierrefonds 2 responded with two quick goals in 37 seconds, the latter netted by Alanna Lacasse on a breakaway. Pierrefonds 1 dominated territorially the rest of the period, obtaining a plethora of quality scoring chances ŌĆō but they had their hands full with Fournier, who put on quite a performance to keep her team in the driver seat.
Helen Vitzentzatos finally tied the score at two with 4:05 remaining in the period with a high shot. However, Lacasse would give Pierrefonds the lead back with her second goal of the game with a bit more than two minutes remaining in the first period.
As much as Pierrefonds 1 had dominated the first period in terms of scoring chances, Pierrefonds 2 changed the gameŌĆÖs momentum in the early part of the second period.
Rachelle Nadeau was robbed by goalie Bryanna Aubry after a good hustle in the offensive zone. Megan Macnab then obtained a quality shot on Aubry before her cross-ice pass to Anna Schaap completely confused Aubry who couldnŌĆÖt stop SchaapŌĆÖs quick release.
Pierrefonds 2ŌĆÖs Carina Danis then scored thanks to a superb individual effort. Her shot hit the top shelf and left no chance to the goalie. With 9:46 remaining in the final period, things didnŌĆÖt look rosy for Pierrefonds 1.
Unfazed however, they went right back to work on Fournier, who was having a great game to that point. Coyle scored her teamŌĆÖs third goal less than 45 seconds later after having completely subjugated Fournier.
Two minutes later, Fournier stopped Lindsay McraeŌĆÖs shot but Vitzentzatos was there to pick up the rebound and make it a one-goal game. Coyle completed the hat trick with 3:20 remaining and sent the game to overtime with a 5-5 tie.
Early in the overtime period, Larouche was crossing the slot when she surprised Fournier with a quick release to win the game for Pierrefonds 1.
ŌĆ£We were awaiting a difficult game against Pierrefonds 1. Our goalie had a strong game but she hurt her ankles a little bit in the second period. The other team was very strong offensively. IŌĆÖm still proud of obtaining the silver medal anyway. The girls are tired. They came a tiny bit short but they played well,ŌĆØ said Pierrefonds 2 head coach Blair Mcnab.

"If Hunter S. Thompson had hit the kitchen instead of Las Vegas, he would have been hard pressed to come up with half of what Daniel Duane delivers. He burns through the Chez Panisse cookbooks, Thomas Keller's collections, and countless other culinary touchstones on a hilarious, deeply moving, and mouthwatering, truffle-and-duck-confit-fuelled journey from a lonely guy with an empty fridge to a loving father with a well-fed family." –John Donahue, editor of Man with a Pan: Culinary Adventures of Fathers who Cook for their Families
"Daniel Duane takes us on a journey through the kitchens of our modern day warrior heroes—Alice Waters, Fergus Henderson, and Thomas Keller—on a mission to learn the existential truths of life and how to cook like a zen master. He meets his Obi-Wan Kenobi and struggles to become a jedi knight and he finally learns it is not the recipe but the process of cooking with love and attention to detail and most of all with respect. My life has been on a parallel journey and anyone who loves the rite of being 'at table' will benefit by this all absorbing read." –Frank Stitt, Chef at Bottega, Highland Bar and Grill, and Chez Fonfon
"This is a wonderful celebration not just of cooking--but of cooking's power to soothe, focus, redeem and anchor a parent." –Jenny Rosenstrach, author of Dinner: A Love Story
"How to Cook Like a Man is an engrossing tale of discovering the pleasures and satisfaction of cooking for its own sake, from the new necessity of feeding his growing family, to being led by his curiosity through a cookbook obsession we can all relate to, and a whole new world of the joys of cooking and nurturing. Daniel continues to be an engaging and thoughtful writer. I loved it." –David Kinch, Chef at Manresa Restaurant, Best Chef Award Winner, Pacific Region, James Beard Foundation
"In the newly defined game of the contemporary American marriage, the kitchen and the dinner table have become prized territory -- the Boardwalk and Park Place of the 21st century home. Daniel Duane's witty book lays out the man's case for laying claim to these prized properties and shows with humility that they are hard-won indeed." –Paul Greenberg, author of Four Fish

Dáil Éireann Debate
PADRAIG O hOGAIN (An Clár): asked the Minister for Local Government and Public Health if he has received from the Clare County Council a resolution viewing with grave concern the acute distress in many districts in Clare, and requesting him to take steps to relieve such distress; if he has considered the resolution in the light of the heavy drain upon Home Assistance in the county; if he has asked for any reports from the official of his Department in respect to this distress, and if, in view of the extreme urgency of the situation, he will have the matter immediately investigated.
[1049]Mr. BURKE: The answer to the first three parts of the question is in the affirmative. I have gone into the whole position very carefully, and I am unable to accept that the position is abnormal.
Mr. HOGAN: Can the Minister say what investigations he has made, whether he has investigated the distress that exists in Kilrush and Ennis? Has he acquainted himself with the position of those who were drawing home assistance in other small towns in the county, and will he indicate how he has come to the conclusion that there is no distress of an abnormal character prevailing in these districts in the Co. Clare.
Mr. BURKE: The amount of money distributed in home assistance this year is something over £2,000 less than was distributed last year, while the number registered at the Unemployment Exchanges is considerably less this year than last year.
Mr. JOHNSON: Is that the evidence that the Minister forms his judgment upon?
Mr. BURKE: It is part of the evidence.
Mr. JOHNSON: Will the Minister give us the remaining part?
Mr. BURKE: I have not had any reports that would indicate that there was distress of an exceptional nature in these districts. Of course there is always a certain amount of distress in the towns on the western sea-board.
Mr. CORISH: Would the Minister say whether this great decrease in home assistance took place immediately after the last county council elections. Was it the change in the personnel of the councils that brought about the decrease?
Mr. HOGAN: Has the Minister communicated his repudiation of their resolution to the Clare County Council pointing out to them that they, the elected representatives of the people, cognisant of the distress that prevails in the various districts, were entirely [1050] inaccurate in their statement, and asking them to review the position in the light of the information which he alleges he has in his possession?
Mr. BURKE: I have not so far communicated that to the county council.

These are some great intimate recordings of one of my favorite bands, The Drive-By Truckers. The first disc is comprised of 2 great acoustic sets, the first is an in-store acoustic at Waterloo Records in Austin, Texas on August 22, 2003 where they run through some songs off Decoration Day. The other is at Smith's Olde Bar in Atlanta, Georgia on May 1, 2004 where the play some old familiars off Decoration Day and some then new songs off The Dirty South. To finish up the first disc we have a great performance of Jason singing Randy Newman's Louisiana 1927 at Manchester Academy in Manchester, England. This was recorded shortly after Hurricane Katrina and the band played this song in tribute.
The second disc starts off with an absolutely killer in-studio performance at KBCO 97.3FM in Boulder, Colorado from August 16, 2004 which is comprised of an interview and 2 songs from The Dirty South. Next up we have the real prize here, a set of tunes recorded at what sounds like a house party at Mike Cooley's house on December 29, 2003. This is a real laid back performance and you gotta love all the chatter, singin' along and bottles clangin'. That would have been one hell of a party to have been to, and thankfully someone had the foresight to record it.
