I recently asked Parish if he was the one who chose the venues for Jerry's side bands. He said yes.
|Steve and Ken Kesey
Steve Parish was a primary family member of the Grateful Dead for over 30 years. Stumbling onto the scene in 1969, he was absorbed into the band's organization as a roadie, close friend and confidant. Anyone with a passing knowledge of the band knows the Dead's road crew wielded an exceptional amount of power and influence. In so many ways, Parish, along with other sprite characters like Ramrod, Kid Cadelerio, Rex Jackson, and Dan Healy, were as vital to the long and strange trip as the band members themselves. Parish not only handled Garcia's gear; he was also manager of the Jerry Garcia Band. The tight bond between Garcia and Parish lasted right up until the very end, when on August 9, 1995 Jerry Garcia passed away. Parish was one of the last people to see Garcia alive.
Parish has written Home Before Daylight, a delightful book about his experiences with the Grateful Dead that's heading to the big screen. He has also worked intermittently with various members of the iconic band, as well as been involved with various Jerry Garcia posthumous releases. In addition, he has busied himself with a flurry of other activities, including hosting RoadieRadio.com, an online roundtable where Deadheads can get the inside scoop of life on the road, featuring interviews with band members and other key associates of the inner circle. In keeping with the cutting-edge tradition of the Grateful Dead, Parish told me he was reviving RoadieRadio.com as a podcast.(1)
With most bands, the crew functions as hired help. But with the Dead, you guys were an integral part of band.
We were true brothers. It was a special thing about the band. Jerry's imprint was on everybody ¬– he was that kind of guy. He claimed we kind of invented ourselves in a way. We started working at a place called Alembic, building a PA. And the Grateful Dead took that PA over and that solidified it. Jerry really respected the people who worked for him. He was a guy who loved the working man ¬– he was raised that way. So he said, "these people are helping us through life, let's share this thing with them." It really worked well. If we were sitting around and talking about where to go in the country, there were some really good, intelligent things that people had to say and we tried to make the right moves that way.
"I was lucky because I probably saw Jerry play more than anyone. We had both bands. All the side projects I got to do with him were incredible. He could just go into a studio and play with anybody after hearing a song one time. That was a fantastic gift he had."
"A lot of people think that a big guy isn't too bright – they put that handle on you. Jerry wanted to disapprove that theory. He put me in the position to do his thinking on how to move his band around. He trusted me explicitly because we had that bond.
But I could not let go of the equipment. I still came in and restrung the guitars and plugged Jerry in and kept that bond with him. Usually, anyone in management drops their roadie stuff and jumps into management. But I kept in both worlds. Really, managing Jerry was pretty easy. We had a lot of opportunities offered to us. It wasn't like we had to go out and beg for gigs. So I learned at the feet of ten other managers and Jerry knew I could handle it."
"He slept with these instruments," said equipment manager Steve Parish, who handled Garcia's guitars for more than 25 years. " You could lose amps. You could break things, and sometimes we did. But I could never look Jerry in the eye and say, 'I don't have your guitar."
What do you miss most about being on the road with the Grateful Dead?
"That energy, that excitement, that edge you don't get in regular life. The show much go on and everything coming together at the last minute for that fantastic moment when it was action, lights and show. And we worked our asses off to get to that point each day."
"I remember when we were young and at one of the nightclubs in the city. We were sitting around in the afternoon, and I asked: "Are we going to keep doing this when we're old?" and Jerry said, "Yeah, I'll be on a street corner playing and you can pass the hat around." He wasn't going to quit no matter what." (1)
In August 1993, Steve Cripe got a call from Steve Parish, Garcia's guitar tech, who said, "Jerry loved the guitar! He was using it for the Jerry Garcia Band and opening with it with the Grateful Dead." Cripe said, "Parish went on to ask a lot of questions about the guitar and that's when we officially named it 'Lightning Bolt' and he asked me to build a backup" guitar for Garcia.
Cripe asked Parish to "take measurements or draw a template of the neck" of the guitar. Parish was puzzled to learn that Cripe "winged it", in terms of shaping the guitar from the video. Parish told him to "wing it" again and Garcia got on the phone and told him to "just do it. If I don't like it, I'll send it back".
His first sale resulted in a check dated December 13, 1993, for $7,000 from Grateful Dead Productions, Inc. The check stub said, "Two Custom Guitars For Garcia OK Per Parish."
Cripe received tickets and backstage passes to a Dead concert in Tampa, FL, on April 7, 1995. He did not get to see Garcia but he met with Parish who told him "'Lightning Bolt' held up better than any other guitar Jerry has owned and that Jerry was playing "Top Hat" at home."(2)
Here's a video of Steve at the Monte Rio Music Festival, Sonoma County, CA 9/4/11
In 1978, "Bob Weir looked up at the Great Pyramid and cried out, "What is it!" Actually, it was the place for locals to go on a cheap date. The Pyramids were surrounded by moats of discarded bottlecaps. A bootleg tape of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis doing filthy shtick was being used for a preliminary sound check. Later, an American general complained to stage manager Steve Parish that the decadence of a rock 'n' roll band performing here was a sacrilege to 5,000 years of history.
"Listen," Parish said, "I lost two brothers in 'Nam, and I don't wanna hear this crap."
The general retreated in the face of those imaginary brothers."-Paul Krassner
Steve was Jerry Garcia's Best Man at his wedding.
Grateful Dead roadie Steve Parish was the grandnephew of Mitchell Parish.
Lyricist Mitchell Parish was born in Shreveport, Louisiana on July 10, 1900. His family moved to New York City when Parish was a young boy and he received his education in the public schools, then Columbia and N.Y.U. (Phi Beta Kappa). He eventually abandoned the notion of practicing law to become a songwriter.
In 1919, Parish was hired as a staff writer for music publishers on Tin Pan Alley and began an apprenticeship as a writer of special material for vaudeville acts. He later established himself as a writer of songs for stage, screen and numerous musical revues.[
By the late 1920's Mitchell Parish was a well regarded Tin Pan Alley lyricist in New York City.
His best known works include the lyrics to songs such as "Star Dust", "Sweet Lorraine", "Deep Purple", "Stars Fell on Alabama", "Sophisticated Lady", "Volare" (English lyrics), "Moonlight Serenade", "Mr. Ghost Goes to Town", "Sleigh Ride", "One Morning in May", and "Louisiana Fairy Tale", which was the first theme song used in the PBS Production of This Old House.
"Stardust" is an American popular song composed in 1927 by Hoagy Carmichael with lyrics added in 1929 by Mitchell Parish.
Parish's grandnephew was the , who described Parish's meeting with Jerry Garcia in his autobiography, "Home Before Day Light".
Mitchell Parish died on March 31, 1993[4] in Manhattan at the age of 92. He was buried in Beth David Cemetery in Elmont, New York.
Since 2012, Steve Parish is the Stage Manager for Moonalice.

Laird Grant AKA Barney
John Meyer
John Meyer's work with the Grateful Dead extends to the mid-1970s when the band's concerts were heard through McCune Sound Service's JM-10 systems designed by Meyer. The relationship continued through the band's last tour with Jerry Garcia in 1995, supported by Meyer Sound MSL-10 loudspeakers. Meyer Sound systems have been a staple for tours of reunion and spin-off bands during the interim, including the 2005 and 2009 tours equipped with a Meyer Sound MILO system when the core members were known as The Dead. In 2011, the band's Bob Weir installed a Meyer Sound Constellation acoustic system in his Tamalpais Research Institute (TRI).
Larry Ramrod Schurtliff
Lawrence "Ram Rod" Shurtliff (1945-2006) served in a number of capacities with the Grateful Dead. He began as truck driver and later fuctioned as crew chief as well as the President of the Grateful Dead's corporate entity.[13]
"Your basic original quippie was Ramrod," Steve recounts over the cops and robbers noise from an Oklahoma City Hilton TV set. "He's from Pendleton, Oregon, and he came in through Ken Kesey. He got his name because he was like an expert at loading watermelons, so he got in charge of loading the equipment. He held it together by himself for a long time. Also for a while he was co-manager of the group with Scully.[18]
By John Scher"Ramrod, from everything I can gather, was their (GD) friend and worked with them from day one. He was a real level headed guy, a bright guy. He was the president of "Grateful Dead Productions" for quite a while.The road crew sort of mellowed over the years. When I first started promoting shows with "The Dead" they were brutal. They were brutal on every promoter and every building manager. To a large degree they weren't representing the personalities of the guys in the band. They tried to "out you" in any way they could.Ramrod wasn't that way, he could be tough ass, but he was basically a kind gentle guy. He knew the equipment inside and out. He could usually bring reason to whatever cockamamie situation was starting to happen. He called people out pretty easily who were around the periphery and full of it. I miss him a lot."*excerpt of my 2nd radio interview with JS from April 2015-Jake D. Feinberg
Rex Jackson (10/27/45 - 9/6/76)
Credited in the film Sunshine Daydream. Started at Alembic.
The Rex Foundation was created by "members of the Grateful Dead and Friends" in 1983 as a charitable non-profit organization to "proactively provide extensive community support to creative endeavors in the arts, sciences, and education." The organization is named after Rex Jackson, a Grateful Dead roadie and later road manager until his death in 1976.
The Rex Foundation enabled the Grateful Dead to go beyond responding to multiple requests for contributions, and proactively provide extensive community support to creative endeavors in the arts, sciences, and education. The first benefit concerts for the Rex Foundation were held in the spring of 1984 at the Marin Veteran's Memorial Auditorium. Since 1984 the Rex Foundation has granted $8.2 million to some 1,000 recipients. Virtually all grant recipients are selected through the personal knowledge of decision makers – as a result, grant requests are not solicited. Grants are made once or twice a year.
The Rex Foundation's stated mission is "to help secure a healthy environment, promote individuality in the arts, provide support to critical and necessary social services, assist others less fortunate than ourselves, protect the rights of indigenous people and ensure their cultural survival, build a stronger community, and educate children and adults everywhere."
Started at Alembic.
He died about 1982, in Hermiston, Or. (town next to Pendleton). It was Bobby (Weir) who announced it at the Greek just before Brokedown Palace.
Dan Healy
Dan Healy succeeded Alembic and Owsley "Bear" Stanley as the group's chief sound man after the Wall Of Sound in 1974 and subsequent band hiatus through 1975. A favorite amongst Deadheads for many years, he helped to introduce a tapers section at Grateful Dead concert to allow audience recording of live concerts. Healy would sometimes provide direct output from the soundboard for the tapers to directly patch into their recorders. He was a pioneer in rock sound system innovation, and helped Bear along with Ron Wickersham of Alembic design the Dead's "Wall of Sound" concert sound system.[2] He also helped perfect the ultra-matrix soundboard setup which was used by the Dead from 1986 through 1990. Some fans and collectors of the band's live recordings deem this setup to be the band's best-sounding, and most practical.
Healy has also undertaken record production duties on occasion, such as when he produced the 1960s San Francisco psychedelic band The Charlatans' eponymous debut album. Healy was also the bass player for Hoffman's Bicycle (later Bycycle) that played the Bay Area for 18 months from the Summer of 1968.

It was Bear who turned a set of apeakersaround one day and let the band hear themselves", says Joel Selvin, "thus inventing stage monitors."[25]
Rock Scully
Rock Scully points out also that, contrary to the reputation of roadies the world over, this crew is usually too busy to have a shot at picking up groupies, which makes for a certain tension. "Only, after a couple of weeks out," he adds, "one night—you can never predict it—suddenly everybody'll score.[18]
Steve Parish

"We've shown a rough exterior to a lot of people, but that's because you get jumpy on the road after a couple of gigs, getting up at eight in the morning and working till showtime, then spending another four hours tearing everything down so we don't get to quit till four in the morning.
"But we're not gorillas. We're all really sensitive guys."
Part of the gorilla reputation derives from the quippies' former habit of destroying hotel rooms. "Well, yeah," said Steve, grinning and wiping his black mustache, "it used to be a big thing to flip out. We were experts at flippin' out. And we did a lot of machoing out too, brotherhood swaggerin' kind of thing." [18]
John Barlow-songwriter
Joe Winslow
Born on September 29th, 1948 in Pendleton Oregon, Joe made his way down to the Bay Area to visit three of his friends that were working with the Grateful Dead. There he met Steve Parish who had just finished working with Quicksilver Messenger Service. After deciding to stay in San Francisco, he got on with the Dead by driving a truck for them which eventually led to working along side with the sound crew engineers. Over time Joe got heavily involved with designing speaker cabinets. One of the original co-founders of the Hard Truckers', Joe spent his life doing the things he loves.
"Joe Winslow is the other guy from Pendleton. He's in charge of the PA for the left side of the stage—I have the right side. And he's a driver with the 18-foot van that carries the lighting equipment.[18]
Mark "Sparky" Raizene
Started at Alembic.
"Sparky Raizene came to us from Alembic. He's in charge of the monitors, the vocal speakers on the stage for the musicians.[18]

"Actually the original guy from Pendleton was Johnny Hagen, who was the brother of Kesey's buddy Mike Hagen. He came on when the Dead asked for somebody from the Kesey bus. He left during the Lenny Hart period and later came back to be quippie for the New Riders. All the New Riders' crew is from Pendleton.[18]

He goes way back to the Pendleton period. He works in the mixing booth out on the stage floor, a hundred yards from the stage.[18]
Candace Brightman-Lighting Designer
If there's ever a concert lighting hall of fame, Candace will surely be among the first inductees. After launching her career in New York in the 1960's, she started out lighting shows at Madison Square Garden, the legendary Fillmore East and dozens of other arenas up and down the east coast. Her most notable work came from 1972 to 2004, when she served as Lighting Director for The Grateful Dead. With The Dead, she developed their shows into highly sophisticated visual spectacles, incorporating set design, automated lighting and video—technologies in which she is considered an industry pioneer. Most recently, she is overseeing the band's 50th anniversary show in Chicago. She currently serves as a senior advisor and mentor to the Pulse Lighting.[7]
In 1965, her sister, Carol Brightman, helped found a useful little periodical called Viet-Report, whose well-researched battles against government disinformation helped fuel the antiwar movement. By 1969 she was organizing the Venceremos Brigade, a grander, riskier, more deluded enterprise that sent American radicals to Cuba for the sugar harvest. She spent the early '70s as part of a typically hypercharged and atomized Berkeley collective, fomenting a revolution that never began.[8]
Robbie Taylor
Originally a silversmith who was hired by Stephen Barncard. "I hired him to be my soldering guy", Barncard says. "We worked side by side for almost two years. Later he became a great assistant engineer and eventually became a road manager, and he was with the Dead until the end."[9]
Currently Phil Lesh's production manager.
Robert Leon Nichols
Wrote Truckin' With Grateful Dead To Egypt after being a roadie. He committed suicide in 1997.[27]
Harry Popick-monitor engineer
Mixed the stage monitors during the Grateful Dead's live performances.[17] Resides in Florida.
Mike Fischer-owner Fischer Trucking
Fischer Trucking was pretty much the GD trucking company on their tours.Mike has a special order Petebilt that was built special order just for the Grateful Dead.
Bob Bralove
Bob Bralove is an auxiliary keyboard–synthesizer player who worked as a sound technician with Grateful Dead starting in 1986 through the 1990s. He was influential on their integration of MIDI technology, first working with drummers Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann, keyboardist Brent Mydland, and later guitarist Bob Weir and synthesizer/piano player Vince Welnick. He also co-wrote and contributed to such songs as "Picasso Moon", "Way to Go Home", "Easy Answers". Perhaps his biggest project with the band was assembling segments of Dead jams on the 1991 Infrared Roses compilation album. "Parallelogram", "Little Nemo in Nightland" are some of his most notable "compositions" from this release.
In addition to his songwriting, producing, and MIDI programming activities for the Grateful Dead, Bralove is known for his performing and designing with the Grateful Dead and the avant-garde "Drums and Space" segments of their live shows with the Rhythm Devils.[16]
Willy Legate
When Jerry Garcia got out of the Army in 1961, he settled in Palo Alto, where the living was a little easier than in San Francisco, and he soon had a number of friends whose kindness and couches were reliable.
One of his best friends was a brilliant eccentric named Willy Legate, who lived at the Peace House, which had been established by Ira Sandperl, Palo Alto and especially Joan Baez's mentor in pacifism. Willy's space at the Peace House was something he shared gladly with ne'er-do-wells like Garcia and Robert Hunter. He also offered them an unconventional and very insightful point of view that they greatly appreciated.
Willy remained part of what would turn in to the Grateful Dead family, and might best be known for coining the phrase so popular on bumper stickers, "There is Nothing Like a Grateful Dead Concert." During the G.D. Records era, he wrote some of the stranger bits for the newsletter.
Jerry didn't forget, and some years later Willy was the custodian of the Dead's rehearsal hall/studio, Front Street. Part of that job was to be the first curator of the Dead's tape archives there, which he eventually handed over to Dick Latvala.
He coined the phrase seen on bumper stickers, "There is nothing like a Grateful Dead concert".
Post-Garcia and Grateful Dead, Willy moved to Sequim, Washington.
Willy Legate died November 9, 2014, of an apparent heart attack, in Sequim. He was special.
He is survived by his daughter, Margarite Moselle.[15]
Cameron Sears
The hiring of Cameron Sears in 1987 broke with tradition as well; since the 60's, the Grateful Dead family had been mainly composed of old friends and relatives. Jon McIntire, the Dead's longtime road manager, hired Sears as an assistant; he has previously been a white-water-rafting guide and an environmental activist. Sears would soon permanently replace McIntire; after 1995 he managed RatDog, and in 2001, became President/CEO of Grateful Dead Productions.[14]
John Cutler-recording engineer and live house mix engineer.
Produced In The Dark
His older brother is Bill Cutler, the musician.
Le Mobile engineer.
"My brother (John) started working for "The Grateful Dead" as an "ad hoc" guy in the early seventies. He would repair amps or do one thing or another. When they needed somebody to go to Egypt they asked my brother to be the advance man. That's when he became an employee of "The Grateful Dead." He was no longer an independent contractor. From '77-'78 he was doing that, but even before that they would hire him when they played "Winterland" for a 4 or 5 night run for NYE. They would do a house mix that was being done by Dan Healy. He was the front of house mixer and Harry Poppick would run the board up on stage for the monitors. For the radio broadcast John would make a separate mix that would go out on local radio stations or a television feed.John learned early on of how to mix the band. After awhile he would be the one to do all the radio mixes and Healy did all of the house stuff.He also started working in the studios and Jerry started having him as the front of house guy for the "Jerry Garcia Band" whenever they would play. When Dan Healy retired John took over as front of house guy for "The GD."In between there were all sorts of brilliant engineers like Bob Mathews and Betty Cantor Jackson who recorded Europe '72. Stephen Barncard was the engineer on "American Beauty."-Bill Cutler
From Belleville, Missouri, recruited Jimmy Voss.[11]

The president of Fly By Night Travel
"One reason we got it is that Garcia, for instance, won't come into an agency," said Frankie, who knows from rock & rollers. She danced her way from San Luis Obispo, California, to American Bandstand and was even a Rockette for awhile before being George Harrison's secretary at Apple. "Another reason is that we want to be sure that the bands aren't getting booked into unfriendly or unsuitable places. We're keeping a file on hotels, limousine services, restaurants that stay open late—a clearing house of information on places all over the country. We're going to make this information available to anybody." Comments run from "low key & close to everything" to "hates longhairs" and "The Mayfair is a fleabag and a whorehouse and don't ever send us there again."
Fly By Night has handled about 15 acts, including the Dead and its spin-offs, of course—the New Riders of the Purple Sage, Merl Saunders and Jerry Garcia, Garcia's bluegrass group Old and In the Way, and so on—and a number of Bill Graham's groups.{18]
Sam Cutler
He met the Dead while tour-managing for the Rolling Stones in 1969; indeed, he is the one usually charged with having the inspiration of inviting the Hell's Angels to police the ill-fated Altamont concert. But he had soon become part of the karass; he took over as road manager for the Dead when Rock Scully went into retreat in Woodstock after Altamont, then decided during the Europe tour to start an agency for the band. Now he is mutating from being the Dead's agent to being an independent agent, specializing in Marin County bands, "to maintain a close flow with both musicians and clubs."[18]
Alan Trist-publisher
Ice-Nine, which publishes all Dead songs and at one time, confesses Trist, was "a sink to keep people on the payroll." Ice-Nine has published three songbooks.[18]
The connection with Alan Trist and the Dead is very difficult to view as a coincidence. There is something going on there. Don't get me wrong - anyone who knows me knows that I champion the benevolent spiritual power of the GD and Phish as much as anyone. But this evidence seems to indicate that there is more going on than meets the eye. Robert Hunter stated that Alan Trist was a "heavy prime mover" in getting him and Jerry to recognize themselves as a group. And Alan Trist's father was head of the Tavistock Institute - that is what I call a Siriusly interesting connection. It suggests that Tavistockian elements helped create the psychedelic counterculture.[25]
David Parker-business manager
Also happens to be an 11-year friend of Jerry Garcia's. At one time he played washboard and kazoo in Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Champions, the band that was immediate precursor of the Dead. Next to his office is the New Riders office.[18]

Don Pearson-sound engineer
In 1978, he founded Ultra Sound with partner Howard Danchik, and it became the touring sound company for the Dead in 1980.
In 1990, Mr. Pearson earned the nickname Dr. Don when he mended the original 16-track recordings of the live Grateful Dead show at the 1975 Great American Music Hall, which was ultimately released as "One From the Vault," the first in a series of live recordings.
In 1996, after being perilously close to the bomb explosion at the Olympics in Atlanta, Mr. Pearson decided to stick closer to home and focus on large acoustical installations, including a system at Davies Symphony Hall. In 2000, Ultra Sound was sold, but Mr. Pearson continued to install custom audio systems.
Pearson died January 9, 2006.[20]

"I started touring here in the United States in 1984 with a company called Ultra Sound. They were located in San Rafael, and they toured with the Grateful Dead. I was with them for almost 10 years. I started out as a PA hanger, and then very quickly became the front of house setup/systems engineer. I toured with them until 1994."

Derek Featherstone
Currently the director of rentals and touring for Pro Media / UltraSound.
Derek's past experiences include sound design and FOH engineer for The Dead (previously the Grateful Dead).
Following the Levi's Stadium shows, Grateful Dead continues its tour at Soldier Field in Chicago over 4th of July weekend, using a nearly identical LEO system for three shows. Audio requirements for the shows are handled by Martinez, Calif.-based Pro Media / UltraSound, with system design accomplished by the company's Derek Featherstone, vice president of touring and rental and the band's FOH engineer since 2005.
"The LEO and 1100-LFC system can handle everything we put into it," says Featherstone. "We are also very impressed with the quality control of the Meyer Sound self-powered equipment. Being able to acquire 650 loudspeakers from several different vendors located in multiple states, assemble the large system on site, and have it work seamlessly is no small feat."
Matt Haasch, audio crew chief for Pro Media / Ultrasound adds: "I was impressed with how well the LEO system handled the physical acoustics of a big stadium. Coverage was smooth and practically seamless, with precise imaging for all seating areas."

Jimmy Voss-Head Chef
Cooking for 40 years, yet he's had only two jobs—both of them doozies. He was lucky enough to cook for his favorite band, the Grateful Dead, while it was touring, and he was the head chef at the legendary, now-departed Duff's for 30-plus years—gigs he managed to work concurrently. The 57-year-old has recently taken on two more jobs: executive chef at Clarksville Station, on Nathalie Pettus' Overlook Farm, and at Nathalie's (opening this fall) in the Central West End—a double-time gig that Voss says will be his last. Then, perhaps, he'll have time to pen that long-awaited cookbook, Cooking for The Dead.
When two of the Dead's cooks quit one night in 1986, right in the middle of the tour, one of their managers, Jon McIntire, recruited me. He'd been to Duff's and liked the vibe and the food. I drove immediately to Akron, Ohio, to the Dead's show with Bob Dylan and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Next thing I know, Mickey Hart was asking me if I'd make him a roast beef sandwich, and Phil Lesh wanted cake.
Describe a day in your life back then.
I'd set up my kitchen—my little restaurant—at each stop, a bunch of ice coolers and a stove and convection oven retrofitted for propane. I had to have breakfast ready at 8 a.m., then lunch, then dinner, then break down the kitchen after the show, pack it onto the truck, then move on to the next city and do the same thing again the next day. If it was a three-day run, the middle day was sweet—with no set up and no tear down—and really short…like 12 hours.
How many people did you feed per day, typically?
Forty to 75 people each day, three to four meals a day. Although the band was laid back, the union crew was not and had to be fed at precise times each day. I'm proud to say there was never a fine and never an issue involving all those meals, which was commendable because every day was so random.
How so?
If there were problems, the sound crew might have to work through the night to fix problem or to get the sound exactly right. Many times, that translated to cooking a meal with no advance notice in the middle of the night.
Were the band members finicky eaters?
I started off cooking fancy things, pushing the envelope, trying to impress. Not long after, though, I was told basically, "Jimmy, we're out on the road a lot. What we need is for you to be Mom and Grandma. " After that, it was meatloaf, prime rib, mashed potatoes—every day home-cooking.
Served buffet-style?
For the crew, yes, and a hand-printed menu for the band members. Because backstage was chaotic, a lot of time I served the band in a little quarantined corner of the stage, which was more secluded than their dressing rooms. And they could practice if they wanted to, in relative peace and quiet.
You were with them 10 years. They must have liked you.
Looking back, they liked me as much because I didn't bother them as they did for my food. I was quiet and invisible. I wasn't in their face, asking questions or for pictures and autographs. I was with them from 1986 to 1995, including their last show at Soldier Field. Jerry [Garcia] passed away two weeks later. Had Jerry not died… I might still be with them.
So were you ever at Duff's when the Dead were touring? You couldn't have been...
Their standard was three one-month tours—spring, summer, and fall—so I was gone for three months at a time. Credit Tim and Karen to let me go for that long, and I have to credit myself for training people to have my back, so I could go do what I loved so much.
And so you crisscrossed the country, cooking for your favorite band.
Actually, I only worked the East Coast. There was a West Coast team as well. I only went as far west as Kansas City.

Brian Alexander-"I worked for the Grateful Dead and the Jerry Garcia Band from 1977 through 1980 as a Piano and Rhodes tuner in various cities in California. I traveled in the big rig for the Dead as a free roadie/passenger to shows around California: Bakersfield, Los Angles and the San Francisco area.
I drove a rental truck with a Yamaha grand piano in it for the Jerry Garcia Band. My direct client was the pianist, Keith Godchaux.
I also tuned and maintained the Steinway concert grand at Front St., in Marin County.
I knew Jerry and Phil well enough for them to call me by name. I was only twenty
years old when I first met the band. They did not think much of me as I was so young.
My bosses were Big Steve and Kid and they were tough but fair. They probably do not
remember me with great fondness for I was not an experienced roadie at the time just
trying to fit in somewhere. Kidd was the first person to show me gaffers tape, god on a roll.
I enjoyed the few years I had with those guys and learned a lot from both of those hard
working band crewmen."[6]
Paul Woods
Former Grateful Dead roadie Paul Woods is making headlines in America after embarking on a 3,500-mile trek to claim a home left to him by his late mom - on a lawnmower. Woods set off on the trip from Alaska to Virginia back in 2005 but his adventure has only just come to light after well-wishers in Utah discovered who the lawnmower man was. Woods is expected to reach the home he has inherited some time in 2009.[12]

More Than Me Foundation Competing For $1 Million In Chase American Giving Awards Prizes; Results Airing On NBC Special, December 8, 2012
BERNARDSVILLE, N.J., Nov. 29, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- More Than Me, an organization committed to empowering young girls at risk of sexual exploitation through education in Liberia, West Africa, is thrilled to announce its selection as a finalist in the Chase American Giving Awards contest. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121129/DC21490)Voting will take place via Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/ChaseCommunityGiving?fref=ts or on the Chase bank website: www.chasegiving.com between Tuesday, November 27 and Tuesday, December 4 with results airing on NBC Saturday, December 8, 2012 ( 8 PM EST). The winner of this competition will receive a $1 million grant, which, for More Than Me, would be life-changing, for both the organization itself but also the thousands of Liberian girls it could reach. To date, the organization has the support of Pat Benatar, Prince Lorenzo Borghese, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, Georgina Bloomberg and Tom Freston in the effort to draw attention to the contest. ABOUT MORE THAN ME More Than Me was founded in 2009 by Katie Meyler, a young woman who faced a tough childhood filled with abuse, drugs and alcohol. Katie's mission is simple: to provide education, opportunity, and safety to the most vulnerable girls. When asked why she has chosen to help children in Africa rather than here in America, she says, "I grew up poor in America. My single mom worked the overnight shift at a Lipton Tea company making minimum wage ... but I always had free school. I never had to work the streets to find my next meal; there were government programs and neighbors that could help. In Liberia that just doesn't exist and before I'm an American, I am human." The organization has thrived on purely volunteer support, spearheaded by Katie's passion and dedication to the cause. It is currently working with the government of Liberia to transform an old bombed out, looted building into an all-girls academy, with after school programs focused on teaching the girls entrepreneurship. More Than Me is unique in this contest in that it is actively building an infrastructure in country, with local staff and sustainable programming. With an additional $1 million, the organization would be able to see this dream come true even faster, affecting the lives of thousands more girls within a few years. Katie has been called "The most passionate person we've ever met" by Bono's ONE Foundation, a "Social Media Role-Model" at a UN-sponsored Mashable event and named "Outstanding Woman of the Year" by the NJ Commission on the Status of Women.

Loan Overview
Repayment Schedule
María Pamela is 30 years old and married with two children that are school-aged. Like all women in her region, she is hard-working and determined despite the fact that she couldn't finish her univerisity studies in veterinary medicine.
For the last five years, she has sold cosmetics and new clothes. She started the venture with money from her husband so that she could earn her own income.
She has a very busy day as she starts at five in the morning to get her two children ready for school. Then she goes by bicycle to visit possible buyers to show them her products. As summer is arriving, her clients are asking her for suitable clothes and creams so she needs more capital to be able to stock these products and satisfy her clients.
Therefore, she is requesting this loan from Ceprodel to buy blouses, trousers, flip flops, shorts, perfumes, lotions and sun blocks.
She trusts in God that the Kiva investors and Ceprodel will support her request so she can accomplish her objective and that they will keep helping poor people around the world.

Su día es muy agitado ya que empieza desde las cinco de la mañana para alistar a sus dos pequeños y llevarlos a la escuela, luego se dedica de manera ambulante en una bicicleta a visitar a sus posibles compradores y mostrar los productos que ofrece.
Dado la ocasión que se acerca la temporada de verano sus clientes le están demandando ropa y cremas acorde a esta temporada, por lo que necesita más capital para poder surtir de estos productos y satisfacer a sus clientes.
Por tal razón está solicitando un crédito a Ceprodel para comprar blusas, pantalones, chinelas, short, perfumes, lociones y bloqueadores solares.
Confía en Dios que los inversionistas kiva y Ceprodel apoyen su solicitud para poder llevar a cabo su ojetivo y sigan ayudando a tantas personas pobres de todo el mundo.

He just scooped up the Best Actor Oscar at the 86th Academy Awards and it sounds like Matthew McConaughey is looking to take some time off.
When asked if he'd return to HBO's "True Detective" for another round of action, the "Dallas Buyers Club" stud simply replied, "No, no, we won't be back for season two."
Keeping an eye on his health after losing a scary amount of weight for "Dallas Buyers Club," Matthew McConaughey headed to a medical building in Los Angeles on Wednesday (March 5).
The Oscar-winning actor wore a black leather jacket, gray pants, bright red Puma sneakers, and newsboy cap as he made his way back outside.
He coined his catch phrase "Alright, alright, alright" in the 1993 film "Dazed and Confused," and now Matthew McConaughey announced his plan to roll out shirts with the line that made him famous.
In order to expand his Just Keep Living brand, the Oscar-winning actor revealed his new merchandise venture - selling t-shirts with the line.
On the heels of their impressive wins, "Dallas Buyers Club" stars Jared Leto and Matthew McConaughey went backstage for a few photo opportunities at last night's (March 2) 86th Academy Awards.
His performance was nothing short of amazing in "Dallas Buyers Club" and it was enough to earn Matthew McConaughey his first Academy Award this evening (March 2).
Paying a tribute to his late father, the "Magic Mike" star got teary-eyed as he joked about his dad looking down on him while sipping on a cold one.
Alright, Alright, Alright! Matthew McConaughey has arrived at the 86th Academy Awards in Hollywood tonight (March 2).
All gussied up in formal finery, the "Dallas Buyers Club" star greeted his fellow celebrities outside Hollywood's Dolby Theatre ahead of the entertainment industry's biggest event.
Santa Monica was a little hotter tonight (March 1) as the 2014 Film Independent Spirit Awards brought stars like Matthew McConaughey to town.
Enjoying a little outdoor activity with the entire family, Matthew McConaughey and wife Camila Alves took the kids jogging in Malibu, CA today (February 22).
Looking good in running gear, the "Dallas Buyers Club" star sported a blue jacket and black baggy pants, while his lovely lady dressed in tight black workout duds, and kiddies, Levi and Vida rode alongside them on scooters.

"Zushi = Sand, Sun & City" Zushi by RobertVVV
Zushi Travel Guide: 0 reviews and 16 photos
Zushi is deluxe. Getting There-It is on the Yokosuka Line. You can get to it very easily from Narita Airport. Just go down to the "JR" Line and get a ticket on the Yokosuka Line, or the Narita Express. If You ride the Narita Express you should switch back to the Yokosuka Line at "Totsuka", it is easy because it is same platform. I recommend if you ride the "Yokosuka Line" to get a green Car Ticket and sit in the top car. Great Views and comfortable travel. Once you get there. There is a small but nice beach. it is the windsurfing capital of the world. I recomend Kaya Wind. There is also a City Owned "Hostel" that is so cheap you would not even believe it. During the summer is very nice, becuase the beach has lots of music, dancing and people. If you want to goto Temple Town~ Kamakura it is one stop away. So you can see the zillion temples and shrines near by. There is a traditional Inn called Shotenen that the Taxi guys can get you to for about 700 Yen. I don't know the price of Shotenen but it has some beautiful gardens, might be expensive. Getting downtown is relatively easy. There are 2 sides of Tokyo. The Shinjuku side and the Tokyo side. You can get a train to either from Zushi Station. I like to switch to the "Tokaido Line" at Totsuka and get wisked to Tokyo Station in 5 stops or Shinjuku Station. You can always ride in the green car for not much if the train is really crowded. Or you can go the Other way past Yokosuka and get a cheap ferry and go over to Chiba. There is so much to do in Tokyo, but it is nice to break it up and get a suntan and relax and party on the beach also. During the fall and winters, it is much quieter which is nice to. You find some peace.
- Pros:Small, Clean Air, Laided Back, Easy to Get to, Nice Beach
- Cons:Small, about 1 hour from the Megalopolis Party Districts
- In a nutshell:Zushi is the laid back beach, near the Skyscrapers but not in the Skyscapers

So Thursday night as I was going to bed I had one painful cramp and said the heck was that...thought it was gas or something so I went to bed..i then wake up in the AM and realize i was spotting...needless to say i start freaking out...it just so happens I was going for my NT sonogram that morning so I asked them to check it out. The tech was very smart and informative and told me my placenta tore from the uterus, that is was very common and that it would heal on its own...I was such a ball of nerves btwn that and the scan..that I was like ok and didnt ask any questions...When is got home i googled and now Im really scared. Is this that common and what do I do for it?? I havent spoke to my dr yet but I will call him first thing Monday morning. From what Im reading it depends on how much it tore, but I still feel like why did this happen at all? The strange thing is that I went for a flu shot earlier that evening and cant help thinking there is a correlation there. Any thoughts or advice?
Im so worried, I've spent most of the day crying.

DIC Ent. (DIC) has been named by HandMade Group as the exclusive worldwide licensing agent for the evergreen girl's property, ELOISE and all the ELOISE rights controlled by HandMade.
DIC adds the evergreen ELOISE property to its catalog of brands the company represents STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE, McDonald's, MADELINE and Mommy & Me. DIC will develop a comprehensive licensing and merchandising program for ELOISE targeting girls 4-8 across key categories (excluding entertainment), including toys, books, apparel, accessories and more. The initial rollout of the merchandise program is anticipated for spring 2008. DIC's consumer products program for ELOISE will coincide with the release of a new live-action feature film, ELOISE IN PARIS, in 2008. Additionally, a Broadway show is in development.
"The timing to launch ELOISE into the marketplace is ideal with the premieres of a new movie and Broadway show slated next year providing the opportunity to build awareness of the brand, and we look forward to introducing this classic brand to a new generation of young girls," commented Andy Heyward, chairman/ceo, DIC. "As we build our brand management business globally, our strategy is to continue to fortify our catalog with properties such as Eloise and STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE that have a built-in brand equity and can be exploited across multiple platforms."
"I am very excited about this opportunity. ELOISE is an exciting property with massive potential worldwide. ELOISE is a famous children's book character in the U.S., and we intend to replicate that globally and make the merchandise available worldwide," said David Ravden, ceo, HandMade. "We look forward to the value that our partnership with DIC will bring to our company and the ELOISE brand."
In 2003, HandMade produced two Emmy Award-winning television movies starring Julie Andrews (Emmy-Award nominated for her role), ELOISE AT THE PLAZA and ELOISE AT CHRISTMASTIME for broadcast by ABC's Wonderful World of Disney. Buena Vista Home Ent. subsequently released the two titles on DVD, which to date, have sold more than one million units in the U.S. Additionally, HandMade Films and Film Roman produced a 13 episode animated television series for ELOISE that premiered in 2006 on Starz Kids and the Family Channel in the U.S.
In 2005, Simon & Schuster began publishing ELOISE stories "in the style of Kay Thompson and Hilary Knight" (original author and illustrator, respectively) to their early-reader Ready-to-Reads line. By the end of this year, 11 titles will have been released in that line. Other modern ELOISE titles released by the publisher include ELOISE'S GUIDE TO LIFE (2000), ELOISE AT CHRISTMAS (2003), ELOISE'S WHAT I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE (2005) and LOVE & KISSES, ELOISE (2005), all have reached #1 on the children's bestseller lists in the U.S, and ELOISE TAKES A BAWTH (2002), which remained at the top of the children's bestseller list for 10 weeks. The most recent book, ELOISE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD, was published in November 2006.

Borderlands : Mad Moxxie's Underdome Riot Reviewed
One of most gamers' gripes with the otherwise excellent Borderlands is that despite its open endedness it's just a bit too easy. Just a little over a month since the last DLC for the game, Gearbox is here to change that – and in that regard they've succeeded pretty damned well.
Unlike "The Zombie of Dr. Ned,†this latest DLC isn't an episodic bit of narrative, but instead is presented as a set of three arenas where you'll fight wave after wave after incessant wave of enemies.
While Gearbox have been quick to disassociate Mad Moxxie's Underdome Riot with arena mode offering from Halo ODST's firefight and Gears of War's Horde mode, that's precisely what it is. There's no narrative to speak of; When you teleport to the Underdome you'll be greeted with a short video detailing who Moxxie is exactly, and why it is she's running the arena – and that's really it for the story.
Instead you'll find yourself fighting for survival against waves of enemies, ranging from skags to psychopaths to badasses and finally bosses. 5 waves make up a round, and 5 rounds completes the first challenge in each arena. Naturally each wave increases in difficulty, something further bolstered by the addition of random modifiers, which later begin to stack. These modifiers do things like increase enemy shields, challenge you to only use specific weapons or fiddle with Pandora's gravity. It all becomes quite brutally difficult, and rather time consuming.
As with all things Borderlands, this add-on is made all the better by the addition of co-op buddies, with each additional player increasing the fun exponentially. And while it is indubitably fun, it seems to be tailored towards players with online friends who've reached the level cap and still want more Borderlands.
For level-capped players it does offer two extra skill points, which may be worth the asking price if you're pedantic about honing your character. Beyond that though if you don't fit the above profile, Mad Moxxie's Underdome Riot is difficult to recommend.
Borderlands' very soul, you see, lies in its loot drops and the gaining of experience – neither of which are on offer here. None of the enemies you kill in the relentless waves will add to your experience or weapon proficiency, and the loot – what little of it is there is – is hardly meaningful. If you were hoping to use the Underdome as a means to grind your lower level characters, you'd be better off giving it a miss.
Score 6.5/10

glorybebe, on 28 November 2012 - 01:47 AM, said:
That's called not taking responsibility for your actions. There is a woman here in BC who was drunk and went into the side of the road killing a little girl who was looking at horses. The driver will not admit responsibility and keeps fighting her sentence. She is thinking all about her and what she lost, not what she took away: a little girl's life, the parents' child, etc. It is sickening that these people cannot look at what they caused and that they took a life. They are murderers, but they still play the 'poor me card'.
Exactly, they have to remember they made the decision to get in the car while drunk with knowledge they could kill people. Premeditated murder it is. I don't care what you've been through or how much a sob story your life is. It does NOT or ever justify putting lives of innocents at risk or ending them.
What do they expect, a slap on the wrist? They took someone's life by their own hand.
People like this need to take a good, hard look at themselves.
I further can't believe someone is even supporting the person I outlined before after they laughed about killing someone while clearly indicating their colour. Why would you want to support a racist, drink driver who obviously has little regard for human life? A bad person quite simply put.
I really try to emphasise with people and why they act the way they are or do the things they do. But there comes a line, if they cross it, like these people did, they have to take responsibility. Because really if they were in control of themselves and such then these things would never happen (exception of those with mental illnesses). Like people who drink and get violent or drive under true influence should take responsibility and not drink in the first place.

Bee Ridge Wildfire Restoration
|Help Make Global ReLeaf possible
Give today to help restore local and global ecosystems.
Project Name:
Bee Ridge Wildfire Restoration
Ozark National Forest, Ark.
Key Activities:
- Planting 61,200 trees across 90 acres
- Reforesting an ecosystem damaged by wildfire
Project Description:
American Forests and the U.S. Forest Service are reforesting 90 acres of Arkansas' Ozark National Forest with more than 61,000 shortleaf pine to restore an area burned by wildfire.
Why This Project:
In July 2012, lightning caused a series of fires in Ozark National Forest due to drought-fueled dry conditions. These intense fires killed some of the forest's overstory shortleaf pine, which needs to be replanted to maintain the area's native species composition, health and sustainability.
Shortleaf pine grows exclusively in the southeastern United States, and its seeds are a popular food source for birds and mammals, while its canopy provides wildlife with protection from the elements.
Why Ozark:
Ozark National Forest, along with its companion St. Francis National Forest, is home to many endangered and threatened species, including gray, Indiana and Ozark big-eared bats; Ozark cavefish; interior least tern; American alligator; and bald eagle. Covering 1.2 million acres, the forest contains more than 500 species of trees and woody plants, with hardwoods making up 65 percent of the forestland.

In the United States, there is a heated debate about how much government should support renewable energy innovation. While you won't find anyone who says they don't value 'innovation', the U.S. federal investment in energy innovation across both fossil and renewable technology is still anemic, badly trailing China and only about one third of the amount recommended by the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. That's unfortunate, because there are compelling reasons to accelerate innovation in the energy sector, and specifically in renewable energy.
renewable energy
Part 1: Barriers to Renewable Energy in South Africa
This is the first post in a two part series on renewable energy policy developments in South Africa.
Through the Open Climate Network, Idasa and partner organizations are examining the legal and institutional framework for key policies that will influence South Africa's progress towards meeting its global climate change commitments. One such policy is the Renewable Energy Feed-in Tariff (REFIT), drafted in 2009 to help South Africa increase the amount of electricity generated by renewable sources to 10,000 GWh by 2013.
This piece was written with Pablo Torres, Intern at the World Resources Institute.
During Climate Week 2011, business, government, non-profit, and civil society leaders from around the world are convening in New York City to drive a 'clean energy revolution'. Not surprisingly, innovation in clean technologies is a common theme among many of the events.
In most models of a low-carbon future, innovation is assumed to occur and to reduce costs over time.[^1] There has been less focus on how to ensure this innovation takes place and is most effective. That is the focus of WRI's new working paper, Two Degrees of Innovation: How to Seize the Opportunities in Low-Carbon Power.
This piece originally appeared on the National Journal Energy and Environment Experts Blog.
The case of the solar company Solyndra has been getting widespread attention, but much of the current discussion misses the point. While some would like to portray the collapse of this company as the downfall of the U.S. solar industry, the larger picture tells a very different story.
Solar power is rapidly expanding around the world, driven by opportunities for innovation and investment in low-carbon energy. According to the International Energy Agency, solar power is on a path to provide 20-25 percent of the world's electric power by 2050. This is a huge market opportunity. And, a recent report by Ernst & Young confirms that the solar energy market has grown from less than $1 billion in 2000 to $79 billion in 2010.
While the potential role of 'green jobs' is hotly debated, many participants in this debate are talking past one another – starting from different assumptions and definitions, working from different datasets, or hailing from opposite ideological viewpoints on the "true" costs of unmitigated greenhouse gas emissions.
A review of the literature provides evidence that clean energy policies and investments can help create job opportunities and competitive gains for the economy. These findings should heighten the demand for policies and investments that hasten a shift to a low-carbon economy and the creation of more clean-energy jobs.
This post was written with Pablo Torres, an intern with the Two Degrees of Innovation project.
In these turbulent economic times, leaders around the world are looking to strengthen their economies and create jobs. They are grappling with how to effectively capitalize on the green economy to drive growth. In a new WRI working paper, we look at ways that policymakers can create new green jobs through investments in innovation to meet our challenges in the power sector.
Building the capacity to innovate is a key competitiveness strategy. Successfully competing in the growing low-carbon power sector is no different. However, innovation—improvements in cost and performance—can also close the gap between the low-carbon technologies of today and the low-cost, high-performance technologies the world needs. Policymakers have a crucial role to play in supporting innovators and creating a dynamic innovation ecosystem where they can thrive.
Welcome to the Open Climate Network website, a platform for updates and analysis on country actions on climate mitigation and the provision of climate finance. Here you will find information on the latest policy developments in our partner countries and results of Open Climate Network analysis.
The Open Climate Network (OCN) is developing a set of climate policy tracking and assessment tools that will help people raise the right questions about climate-related policy design and implementation in their countries. These tools will generate a nuanced, contextualized, independent, and peer-reviewed understanding of climate policy implementation for both domestic and international audiences. Our aim is to harness the insights captured through the assessment tools and use them to engage civil society and others in the interest of improving policy design and implementation.
New Ventures India, part of WRI's center for environmental entrepreneurship, and CDF-IFMR convened a workshop in Mumbai earlier this summer to address the barriers to the clean energy industry serving India's rural poor. Representatives from every major clean energy company in India joined senior executives from corporations with rural marketing and distribution expertise, representatives from Indian regulatory bodies, and end-user consumer financing experts at the event.
Clean energy products, such as solar cookers, and services, such as renewable energy, have the potential to provide power to India's rural poor without the negative environmental effects of traditional fuel sources. Tapping into India's Base of the Pyramid (BoP) market can also create profits for companies providing these clean energy products and services. So why hasn't this market taken off yet in India?
Is the Fit Right? Considering Technological Maturity in Designing Renewable Energy Policy
This brief describes a number of policy tools that can be employed to drive investment in renewable energy technologies and discusses which policy options may be the best fit based on the commercial maturity of a targeted technology.
This piece was written by Felix Matthes, Oeko-Institut, and Jennifer Morgan, WRI.
Germany has taken some fundamental energy decisions in recent months, ones that are interesting for other countries to study and learn from. The most "famous" decision recently has been to phase out nuclear power in the next ten years. This move builds on years of debate and a societal decision after Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident to move away from nuclear energy.
There has been much less focus, however, on the phasing in of other sources of energy. Nor has there been much focus on how Germany can remain the economic powerhouse of Europe, and the world's second largest exporting country, while removing a significant source of energy from its grid.
This phase-in story is vital to understand, especially taking into account that Germany plans to meet ambitious greenhouse gas reduction targets while it phases out nuclear power. So, how will this work?

Dolphins: Of Ginn's improvement - and maybe Henne's
Tom Olivadotti, the former Dolphins defensive coordinator, once described rating football practices that were out of pads as watching tennis players work without racquets. You can see something. But not much.
So it is with the OTA days. You see something. But just what? What I see is fascination with trick plays on offense -- maybe just to keep things interesting for the players. The first play Tuesday had Chad Pennington handing off to Ronnie Brown, who passed back to Pennington, who threw deep to Ted Ginn. That was botched when the Brown-to-Pennington pass didn't work. So they ran it again. Then Chad Henne ran it.
In the two practices I've seen, Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams have lined up wide and run deep patterns. Rookie receiver Patrick Turner threw a end-around pass. There have been a half-dozen end-around runs. Pat White lined up as a receiver in the Wildcat. On and on.
So you take what you see with the filter of needing to see more when thing get real. Still, Coach Tony Sparano said receiver Ted Ginn was the one of the two players to have grown the most since last year. I wrote a column on Ginn today, talking about many of the things he's overcome in his life.
Last week, Sparano singled out Ronnie Brown for the manner he's playing. This week, it was Ginn. Either the coach is going around the offense injecting some confidence or there's some thought the playmakers are taking necessary steps to improve. (And Sparano doesn't strike me as throwing off false praise to either inject confidence or send a message to a competitor -- honest praise to do the same, sure).
There's a lot of talk of the Dolphins needing a top receiver. It'll play out if they do. Ginn had 55 catches last year but only two receiving touchdowns. Most of that's on him. Some of it's on the quarterback, considering Ginn's speed sets up the deep route and Chad Pennington doesn't throw the deep pass.
I'm not saying Ginn is a No. 1 receiving talent yet. That'll have to play out. But if it's not him, there isn't another one on the roster right now.
One question: As mentioned, Sparano singled out Ginn as one of the top to players to improve from last season. He wouldn't name the other. Any guesses?
My guess is based on the admittedly small-sample-sized view of two practices (and the fact Sparano wouldn't name the other guy): Chad Henne. He looks quicker. Looks more confident. He's also throwing a very good ball.
If it is Henne, that will bear out when the pads get put on. It also could make for an interesting training camp.
But Sparano also has named others who have improved greatly: Matt Roth, Jake Long, Ronnie Brown ...

Chesny Young 4-5 tonight for Tenn. Now hitting .410 with an OBP over .500.
Looks like Soler has decided to take the "can't play in the cold" thing head-on. No longer wearing the cold-weather under gear.
Cubs record for last 3 months of regular season baseball: 59 - 23. (Aug, Sept/Oct and April, with one still to go).
That's a .720 winning percentage and projects to 117 wins over 162 games.

Imari (Arita) porcelain is the name for Japanese porcelain wares made in the town of Arita. The craftsmanship, production, drawing techniques, and unique designs with 400 years of history, continues to make Arita porcelain number one in Japan.
Kutani ware which is multicolored over glazed porcelain is incredibly precious and highly appreciated due to its unique, formal and vigorous beauty.
The charm of Hagi Ware lies in the rough texture of the clay and the pockmarked surfaces laced with cracks in the glaze. Hagi Ware is liquid-permeable. This results in another interesting characteristic, that is, that its color and tone change with use, especially if used to drink tea.
Tanba Ware is one of the oldest kilns in Japan. It is also called Tanbatachikui Ware; but most people shorten it. Tanba arts are made with clays that are rich in iron, from the Tanbasasayama area. Tanba has long been praised by many ceramic lovers.

Then she'll tear you apart
Mona Mona
**You know you'd better try to forget it
You know you're gonna live to regret it
I'd really hate to be the one
To tell you so (I told you so)
Let me take the time to remind you
You're better off leavin' her behind you
I really think it's something
That you oughta know
You better let her go
Yeah yeah, let her go
Don't you think you'd better let her go
Let her go

Obsessing over names again. Our current front-runner is Lara, but I'm not 100% settled on that (which is fine, as we aren't pg, or otherwise expecting, at the moment; I just like to be prepared ).
So, just taking a wee poll: Which of our Top Five do you prefer? And, most importantly, why?
Any and all feedback gratefully welcomed.
Thank you!

Marine Fatally Shoots Fellow Guard at North Carolina Base
It's unclear if it was intentional.
A U.S. Marine guard was killed at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina on Tuesday when another Marine on guard duty "discharged an M4 rifle," according to a statement released by the base. The incident occurred around 5:30 p.m. in a guard shack at the main base. NBC News reports that the Marine died of a single gunshot wound to the chest, and the alleged shooter is in custody. It's unclear if the shooting was intentional, but the statement said it is "being considered neither as an act of terrorism nor an active shooter event at this time." The shooting comes less than a week after the rampage at Fort Hood that left four people dead and 16 wounded.
