A machine is described as being "really slow" or "freezing". How can I troubleshoot/resolve this issue? What should be the first steps to take?
Assuming you are using a Windows OS...
Things to check:
Most system freezes (where you can't use hot-keys like CTRL+ALT+DEL) are caused by hanging drivers,
First off, I check what is automatically started when the machine boots up.
I will then run process explorer and see what is running after it is booted and see what hogs up a lot of memory and CPU.
I will then make sure all the drivers are up to date, same with anti-virus, windows update and other critical applications such as web browsers, java, flash, etc.
Then I will defrag their hard drive if it needs to be done.
Sometimes I will clear out their web browser history and cookies and also clean out their temp folders.
I will also look through the event viewer to see if there are any errors being reported and check into them if they do.
If all else fails and the system will support it, a RAM upgrade may be in order.
(assuming for a moment, we are talking about Windows)
If your computer is suddenly running slow (i.e. you don't just have a slow computer), I would check the Windows Task Manager.
Virus scanners or other background services can sometimes become overzealous in using system resources. Sometimes an application can enter a race condition where it gets "stuck" in some loop of code it just runs continuously. Then, sometimes, you just have some application you forgot about taking up all your CPU time.
The Task Manager should tell you if anything like this is going on.
In this order usually...
A good pass of a defragmentation program, CCleaner, and a virus scannner and malware scanner is beneficial as well.
To see if your machine is going to be slow, check
There are many third-party tools available that give you information on your computer, but to do this quite easily without those you can use the Windows Task Manager.
To open "Task Manager"
On the performance tab you will see how 'busy' your CPU is also how much physical memory is available.
If CPU is consistently above 10% and there is less than 500000 K of memory available your machine is probably going to be running slowly.
Also if your hard drive is full, this could lead to poor performance. You should aim to have at least 15% of free space.
To check this, open Windows Explorer, you can do this by
Select the C: drive with a mouse click. Then right click and select properties - this will tell you how much free/used space you have on your hard drive.
Not without knowing what is causing the freezing as it is not actually causing a crash.
This sounds like at first guess that it is a hardware interrupt / bad device driver causing this, as for banging the keyboard - this is most likely just down to luck.
Try first looking through your system event log for any errors or warnings that could be driver related.
Next either uninstall the driver or if you do not find anything, I would first advise unplugging all extra USB devices as the easiest solution, then if that solves it, plug them in one by one until you find the bad one. If you do not find anything, you may actually need to uninstall drivers.
If you still have errors or want to rule it out earlier, I would advise running a memory test, and going to the command prompt to run a
I used to get this all the time on old machines, 99% of the time it was people buying cheap/unknown brand devices with VERY bad drivers - it gives Windows a bad name. If however you still getting problems after following this, please say and I will try to help further.
Defragment your hard drive. For Windows XP Disk Defragmenter is located at
For Windows 7 or Vista see this question.
For another speed boost, disable unnecessary Windows services. There are a few well-trusted databases on what's safe to disable and what's not, for example, The Elder Geek's Services Guide for Windows XP.
In addition to the other suggestions here, I have found that simply emptying the Recycle Bin can make a difference to performance, if I have been filling it with large collections of files.
Personally, I go with the following:
Now, if the computer hasn't speeded up somewhat, I recommend them to simply let me format the system and start over clean. Because of the nature of windows and all the junk that inevitably forms over years of use, this is usually the only viable solution.
Good luck!
I always check the following...
RAM. Modern OSes are RAM-hungry and the more you have the better off they are.
Hard drive space. Modern OSes are hard drive hungry and the more you have the better off are.
Background processes (e.g. open applications, disk scanning software, virus software, viruses themselves). The more gadgets, widgets, applications, etc., the slower things will be overall. Only keep open what really needs to be open.
Time between reboots. Every OS needs to be rebooted every once in a while.
Assuming a machine used to be running fast, and is now running slow (and it isn't Linux based)....
Other options to consider are:
In case of Windows, install only those software which you need. Don't mess up your PC with all useless stuff. Check for registry errors and fix them using a good software like regcure or registry booster. Don't forget to check whether your antivirus is updated or not. Outdated antivirus often tends to slow down the system. Use CCleaner to remove the crap. Don't exhaust your RAM by using too many programs in background. Turnoff Windows sidebar or desktop enhancement software if you don't need them. Scan all system by updated virus to make sure it is not infected. Also disk defrag etc. small utilities can be helpful for your PC.
That sounds like an unusual circumstance (as many people experience little trouble day-to-day with Windows 7 and your issue sounds quite inconvenient).
Could you provide more detail? Is this a "new" new PC or just one that is new to you (i.e. second hand with Windows 7 newly installed)? Do you know the specification of the PC? Does the problem happen regularly in normal use, intermittently with no obvious pattern, or at specific times like shortly after start-up?
In the absence of more information, a first stab at somewhere to look for the cause of the issue is to check that you drives are healthy by querying their SMART status paramaters with a tool like http://gsmartcontrol.berlios.de/ (available for both Linux and Windows - there are numerous other utilities with similar abilities if this doesn't work well on your PC). A failing drive is quite a common cause of unexpected pauses, as for certain faults the drive will cycle retrying until it manages to read/write what it has been asked to read/write and the user interface seem to hang until the OS gets a response from the drive.
Also check the Windows event logs for around the time(s) the issue is apparent. Most hardware drivers will report unexpected conditions there and Windows itself will report certain driver errors there that the drivers themselves fall over before reporting (older Windows variants would just bluescreen in such circumstances, but newer releases will try restart drivers and log the event when an otherwise "fatal" error condition occurs) - so if the problem is caused by an errant driver or faulty hardware those logs may give useful clues.

[UPDATE] 1-13 Noon --
The vehicle in this incident has been recovered and the investigation continues at this time, according to Officer Susan Newhouse with the Tallahassee Police Department.
UPDATE 01-11-2010 at 6:15pm by Jerry Askin
A late night armed robbery ends up deadly after the robber is shot and killed by the clerk at a Tallahassee convenient store.
It all happened at the Bill's Mini Mart Convenient store on South Magnolia Drive around 10 pm Monday evening.
Tallahassee Police say 23-year old Andrew Hale entered the convenient store and demanded cash from the clerk. And that's when the tables turned, the clerk retrieved his personal handgun and shot and killed Hale right inside the store.
Nick Camechis who works next door from the convenient store says, "It was wrong for that man to come in and try to steal from him and it may have been him that done it before."
The store owner did not want to go on camera, but he says he's sorry for what happened to the robber, but he says the store clerk was simply doing what he had to do in self defense.
Nick Camechis says he believes it was the same robber that got away with cash after robbing the same store 10 days ago.
Camechis goes on to say, "The guy had no excuse and unfortunately he's dead because of a mistake he made....The people working in that convenient store are hard working people."
Tallahassee resident Arrington Williams says, "He gotta protect his life.. Who knows he could've let them rob his store and got away but who know he could've gotten shot and killed anyway."
Investigators say after the shooting, the clerk went out to the parking lot and began firing several shots at what appeared to be a get-a-way vehicle. Authorities believe there may have been an accomplice involved in the robbery.
We are still trying to get our hands on surveillance video.
Anyone with any information on other people involved in this robbery is urged to contact TPD or CRIMESTOPPERS at 850-574-TIPS.

Hi everyone,
I am having an issue where we are trying to setup client BB's to connect to their respective Zimbra mail accounts. I was under the impression that it would be the same as connecting to an exchange server (as per the zimbra site).
Long story short, none of the BB's can connect to their accounts, and from what I am hearing I need either a BES server (which we do not have)or have to purchase licenses for zimbra mobile. Zimbra Sales told us we needed neither. Not sure what to do here. What options do I have I guess is the question I am asking...
Any help or insight is greatly appreciated.

The USTA has offered an apology for the handling of Dinara Safina's third round match which saw the top lady baller ousted by Petra Kvitova.
The Russian, whose match was first up that evening, was none too pleased about being moved to Louis Armstrong so James Blake's match could be started.
According to WTA tour CEO Stacy Allaster,
The U.S.T.A. has acknowledged they should have notified Dinara and the players much earlier in the process of what was going to happen. I think they've apologized for that and I think that what's most important now is we move forward. They're going to look at their procedures and try to make sure that doesn't happen again.Serena Williams was asked about the incident in her post-match presser and came to D's defense:
Q. Safina, because the day session ran long, her match was supposed to be the first on at night on Ashe got moved to Louis Armstrong. She was disappointed in that. She thought it was disrespectful that the women's match got moved. Any opinion on that? If placed in a situation like that, would you be upset?
SERENA WILLIAMS: Well, why didn't they move the men's match again? They were second on.
Q. She said they told her they wanted to give fans the chance to see a best of five set match and they moved her to Armstrong.
SERENA WILLIAMS: Yeah, I think that was just a good thing to tell her to silence her at that moment. But I have to take her side on this. I think that she was first on. She should've played at 7:00. They should have moved the men's match. Simple as that, that's how it should be done. If you're supposed to play a match, you're supposed to play it, and then you move the next match.
Firstly, nice to see the ladies' stick up for each other here even amongst all the smack talk that's been going around.
It was a total slap in the face to the top seed Dinara and I'm glad the USTA acknowledged their unfortunate mistake.

Council Approves Pure Romance Tax Credits
City administration estimates deal will net nearly $2.6 million in tax revenues over 20 years
Oct. 10 update: At its final full session before the Nov. 5 election, City Council on Wednesday approved nearly $854,000 in tax credits for Pure Romance that city officials say will bring the company to downtown Cincinnati for at least 20 years.Councilman Charlie Winburn, the lone Republican on council, was the only council member to vote against the deal.Oct. 9 story: City Council's Budget and Finance Committee on Tuesday approved nearly $854,000 in tax credits over 10 years for Pure Romance in return for the company coming to and remaining in Cincinnati for 20 years. The city administration estimates the deal will lead to at least 126 new high-paying jobs in downtown Cincinnati over three years and nearly $2.6 million in net tax revenue over two decades. If the company fails to keep at least 126 jobs after three years or remain in Cincinnati for 20 years, the city will claw back some of the tax credits depending on how egregiously the terms are failed. Cincinnati in 2011 clawed back tax benefits on its so-called "megadeal" with Convergys after the company failed to keep its total downtown employment at 1,450 or higher.Pure Romance is a $100-million-plus company that hosts private adult parties and sells sex toys, lotions and other "relationship enhancement" products. The company was originally planning on moving to Cincinnati with support from both the state and city. But Gov. John Kasich's administration ultimately declined to provide tax credits, which forced the city to ratchet up its offer from $353,000 to prevent Pure Romance from moving to Covington, Ky., instead of Cincinnati. Kasich's administration says the company didn't fall into an industry the state normally supports, but state Democrats and local officials claim the state government resisted the tax credits because of a "prudish" attitude toward a company that sells sex toys. "We welcome Pure Romance to the city of Cincinnati," Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls said at the committee meeting. "We are glad that the city administration and Pure Romance were able to work out an arrangement that actually welcomed them to the city." Pure Romance previously told CityBeat that it hopes to move its headquarters from Loveland to downtown Cincinnati by the end of the year, but the move hinges on whether the company can quickly finalize a lease agreement.

Morning News and Stuff
Shutdown continues, council candidates meet at forum, county considers sales tax hike
Reminder: Today is the last day to register to vote in the 2013 mayoral and City Council elections. Since early voting is currently underway, it's possible to register and vote on the same day. Get a registration form here and find out when and where to vote here. The federal government shutdown is closing in on its second week. The shutdown has forced some services in Cincinnati to seriously cut back, ranging from Occupational Safety and Health Administration safety inspections to small business loans. CityBeat covered the shutdown and the local leaders involved in further detail here. City Council candidates met at a forum on Oct. 5 to discuss their different visions for the city's future. The candidates agreed Cincinnati is moving forward, but they generally agreed that the city needs to carry its current economic growth from downtown and Over-the-Rhine to all 52 neighborhoods. Participating candidates particularly emphasized public safety and government transparency, while a majority also focused on education partnerships and human services for the poor and homeless, which have been funded below council's goals since 2004. The forum was hosted by The Greenwich in Walnut Hills and sponsored by CityBeat and the League of Women Voters of the Cincinnati Area. Check out CityBeat's candidate-by-candidate breakdown of the forum here. Hamilton County Administrator Christian Sigman plans to propose a quarter-cent hike of the county sales tax to pay for lower property taxes, the elimination of permit and inspection fees paid by businesses, or the construction of a new coroner's lab and addition of nearly 300 jail beds, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer. Hamilton County's sales tax is currently 6.75 percent, which is lower than 65 of Ohio's 88 counties. Sigman says the plan would refocus the county and allow it "to transition from a posture of where to cut to where to invest." Councilman Chris Seelbach agreed to pay more than $1,200 to dismiss a lawsuit from an anti-tax group that would have cost the city $30,000. Seelbach's payment reimburses the city for a trip he took to Washington, D.C., to receive the Harvey Milk Champion of Change award for his accomplishments in protecting Cincinnati's LGBT community. City officials said the trip also helped Seelbach market Cincinnati and learn what other cities are doing to attract and retain LGBT individuals. The lawsuit was threatened by the hyper-conservative Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST), which claims to protect taxpayers from government over-spending and high taxes but simultaneously forces the city to shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars to fight off lawsuits. Starting today, residents must use city-delivered trash carts if they want their garbage picked up. To save space in the carts, city officials are advising recycling. If city workers didn't deliver a trash cart to your home, contact them here. A bill in the Ohio legislature would ban licensed counselors from attempting to change a youth's sexual orientation. The practice, known as "conversion therapy," is widely perceived as unscientific and psychologically damaging and demeaning. California and New Jersey banned conversion therapies in the past year. Ohio's legislative leaders on Friday promised to make a Medicaid overhaul a focus of the ongoing fall session. It's so far unclear what exactly the overhaul will involve. Meanwhile, the Ohio legislature has refused to take up a federally funded Medicaid expansion, which would expand eligibility for the federal-state health care program to include anyone at or below 138 percent of the federal poverty level. The Health Policy Institute of Ohio estimates the expansion would generate $1.8 billion for the state and insure nearly half a million Ohioans, and it's supported by Gov. John Kasich. But Republican legislators are skeptical of expanding a government-run health care program and claim the federal government wouldn't be able to meet its obligations to the program, even though the federal government has met its payments since Medicaid was created in 1965. Although insurance plans in Obamacare's online marketplace (HealthCare.gov) offer lower premiums, the reduced prices come with less options for doctors and hospitals. But supporters argue some health care coverage is better than no health care coverage. The Ohio branch of the AFL-CIO, the largest federation of unions in the country, today announced a slate of Democratic endorsements for state offices, including Ed FitzGerald for governor, David Pepper for attorney general, Nina Turner for secretary of state, Connie Pillich for treasurer and John Patrick Carney for auditor. A registry helps connect University of Cincinnati Medical Center researchers with people with a personal or family history of breast cancer. About 5,600 people are currently on the list, which researchers can tap into to collect data or solicit individuals for studies. Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center is investing its single largest contribution ever on treatments for mental health and behavioral issues. Ohio gas prices dipped further this week. A grandfather chastised his daughter in a letter for kicking out his gay grandson: "He was born this way and didn't choose it more than he being left-handed. You, however, have made a choice of being hurtful, narrow-minded and backward. So while we are in the business of disowning children, I think I'll take this moment to say goodbye to you." Designing an anti-poaching drone could earn someone $25,000.

Council Candidates Agree to Support All Neighborhoods
Eighteen of 21 candidates participated in Oct. 5 forum
Just one month before voters pick nine council members at the ballot box on Nov. 5, 18 of 21 City Council candidates on Oct. 5 participated at a candidate forum that covered issues ranging from better supporting low-income Cincinnatians to expanding downtown's growth to all 52 neighborhoods.During the event, the candidates agreed Cincinnati is moving forward, but they generally agreed that the city needs to carry its current economic growth from downtown and Over-the-Rhine to all 52 neighborhoods. Participating candidates particularly emphasized public safety and government transparency, while a majority also focused on education partnerships and human services for the poor and homeless, which have been funded below council's goals since 2004.The three City Council candidates not in attendance were Republican Councilman Charlie Winburn, Independent Councilman Chris Smitherman and Independent challenger Tim Dornbusch. The absences prompted forum moderator Kathy Wilson, who's also a columnist at CityBeat, to remind the audience that "a vote is a precious thing" and candidates should work to earn support by engaging the public.Councilman Chris Seelbach and challenger David Mann, both Democrats, had surrogates stand in for them. Seelbach was attending a wedding, and Mann was celebrating his 50th wedding anniversary with his family.The forum was hosted by The Greenwich in Walnut Hills and sponsored by CityBeat and the League of Women Voters of the Cincinnati Area.Here are the highlights from the 18 participating candidates, in order of their appearance:Wendell Young (Democrat, incumbent): Young said Cincinnati should put basic services and public safety first, but he added that the city should also help address "quality of life issues" such as providing "world-class parks." He also said Cincinnati needs to structurally balance its budget, which has relied on one-time funding sources since at least 2001, and make further adjustments to the underfunded pension system. Young also explained that the city needs to strengthen its partnerships with local organizations to help combat homelessness, affordable housing, child poverty and infant mortality.Laure Quinlivan (Democrat, incumbent): Quinlivan proudly pointed out she's the "only elected mom" on City Council. She said her goal is to make Cincinnati "cleaner, greener and smarter" by focusing on population and job growth and thriving neighborhoods. To spur such growth, Quinlivan claimed the city needs the streetcar project and more bike and hike trails, both of which she argued will attract more young adults to Cincinnati. Unlike other candidates, Quinlivan publicly supported potentially "rightsizing" — or cutting — Cincinnati's police and fire departments to structurally balance the budget. She also said the city should provide more options for health insurance to city employees so they don't all get a so-called "Cadillac plan" that's expensive for the city.P.G. Sittenfeld (Democrat, incumbent): Sittenfeld touted downtown and Over-the-Rhine's turnaround as a model for economic growth that Cincinnati should expand to all neighborhoods. He argued the model is what attracts companies like Pure Romance to Cincinnati, as the company mentioned the city's recent urban growth as one reason it decided to stay here. (Of course, the nearly $699,000 in tax incentives over 10 years probably help as well.) When asked about his opposition to the current streetcar project, Sittenfeld said the current project is fiscally irresponsible because of its previous budget problems, which City Council fixed in June, and reduction in funding from the state government, which forced the city to pick up more of the funding share. Sittenfeld said his past two years on council were a success, but he added, "I'm not done yet."Amy Murray (Republican and Charterite, challenger): Murray said her campaign is focused on creating a fiscally sound city by structurally balancing the budget and fixing the underfunded pension system. But she said she would do both without increasing taxes, which could force the city to cut services and retirement benefits. When asked about her opposition in 2011 to extending city employee benefits to LGBT spouses, Murray said she never had a problem with extending the benefits to LGBT individuals — which City Council did in 2012 — but was simply acknowledging that providing the extra benefits requires making cuts elsewhere to balance the budget. (Opponents previously said the issue should be about equality and fairness, not costs.)Vanessa White (Charterite, challenger): White said her main goals are reducing poverty in Cincinnati, providing more education opportunities to residents and expanding citizen access to city officials. When specifying her goals for education, White said Cincinnati needs to do a better job incentivizing internships for youth at local businesses and touted the Cincinnati Preschool Promise, which seeks to expand preschool education opportunities in Cincinnati. To increase transparency and outreach, White said she would assign City Hall staffers to answer citizens' questions after council meetings.Michelle Dillingham (Democrat, challenger): Dillingham said the role of local government is to spur growth in abandoned areas that have been failed by the private sector. But to successfully do this, she said the city needs to engage and reach out to its citizens more often. As an example, she cited the development of an affordable housing complex in Avondale, which has been snared by sudden public outcry from a neighborhood group. Dillingham said supporting affordable housing is also more than just providing expanded services; she explained that she supports creating more jobs that would provide a living wage, which would then let more locals own or rent a home without exceeding 30 percent of their gross income on housing costs. At the end, Dillingham touted her 10-point plan to give more Cincinnatians "a seat at the table" and make the city government more inclusive.Mike Moroski (Independent, challenger): Moroski said he intends to focus on growing Cincinnati's population, reducing re-entry into the criminal justice system and lowering child poverty. He also touted support for development projects and infrastructure, including the streetcar project. At the same time, Moroski argued some development in Over-the-Rhine and downtown is pricing low-income people out of the city's booming areas — an issue he would like to address. Moroski also said he backs efforts to increase Cincinnati's human services funding to 1 percent of the operating budget over the next few years. When asked about his lack of government experience, Moroski said he sees it as a "gift" and "blessing" that's given him a fresh, outside perspective. "I will be the voice for the voiceless," he said.Melissa Wegman (Republican, challenger): Wegman opened by showing off her business credentials and neighborhood advocacy. When asked what she means when she says she'll bring a "business perspective" to council, she said she would like to see the city put more support toward small businesses. In particular, Wegman said underserved neighborhoods need more city help and funding. She also told panelists that she opposes Issue 4, which will appear on the Nov. 5 ballot and would semi-privatize Cincinnati's pension system.Kevin Flynn (Charterite, challenger): Flynn said Cincinnati's budget problems are by far the most important issues facing the city, but he also trumpeted the local government's lack of transparency and engagement as major issues. He explained he's particularly opposed to the mayor's pocket veto, which allows the mayor to entirely dictate what legislation is voted on by council and potentially block any legislation he or she disagrees with. Flynn said he would like to see more citizen engagement on budget issues and more open debate between council members during public meetings.Greg Landsman (Democrat and Charterite, challenger): Landsman stated his focus is on population, job and revenue growth, which could help him achieve his goal of a structurally balanced budget. He said the city needs to do more to attract and retain young people. Although Landsman acknowledges the city's progress, he said Cincinnati is undergoing a "tale of two cities" in which some neighborhoods prosper and others flounder. Landsman also suggested increasing human services to 1 percent of the operating budget over the next few years and improving city management in other areas, including the budget, pension system and roads.Kevin Johnson (Independent, challenger): Johnson said the role of government should be to balance out the private sector and provide a safety net for those who fall through the system. He said the city needs to do more to tackle income inequality by "investing in people." Johnson said he supports recent efforts to create a land bank system for struggling neighborhoods, which aim to increase homeownership by making it more affordable and accessible. Johnson also claimed that people are tired of party politics and would like to see more transparency in government.David Mann (Democrat and Charterite, challenger), represented by campaign manager John Juech: Speaking for Mann, Juech said his candidate got into the campaign to address Cincinnati's budget problems. Juech explained Mann will leave "all options on the table," whether it's revenue increases or service cuts, to structurally balance the budget. When asked whether Mann, who previously served 18 years on council, really deserves more time in the local government, Juech explained that Mann's experience makes him a "walking Cincinnati historian." He also argued that Mann has great relationships with county officials, particularly Hamilton County Auditor Dusty Rhodes, that could make it easier to jointly manage some city services in a way that would drive down costs.Yvette Simpson (Democrat and Charterite, incumbent): Simpson said she measures progress in Cincinnati by "how well the least of us do," which drove her to start the Cincinnati Youth Commission and other partnerships that help connect the city's youth to jobs. Although Simpson said she supports boosting funding to human services and building better relationships with human services agencies, she said providing more funding is hindered by a "simple math problem" and the city needs to balance its budget before it can provide more and better services. Simpson also said the city could and should do a better job engaging the public with big ideas.Chris Seelbach (Democrat, incumbent), represented by legislative director Jon Harmon: Reading a statement from Seelbach, Harmon said Cincinnati is on the rise but still needs to improve in various areas. In particular, he said the city needs to do a better job funding all 52 neighborhoods, providing more opportunities for low-income Cincinnatians and eventually increasing human services funding to 1 percent of the operating budget. Harmon also touted City Council's progress with infrastructure issues, including increased road paving and bridge funding. By addressing these issues and occasionally making "tough choices," Harmon said Seelbach hopes to continue growing the city.Pam Thomas (Democrat, incumbent): Thomas claimed she wants local government to be open, honest and transparent. She said the city's progress should be gauged through education metrics, particularly local graduation rates and, starting next year, the city's success in meeting state-mandated third-grade reading proficiency standards. Thomas replaced her husband on council after she was appointed by him and other council members earlier in 2013, but Thomas said that, unlike him, she opposes the current streetcar project and parking plan, which would lease the city's parking meters, lots and garages to the Greater Cincinnati Port Authority to fund development projects and help balance the budget.Shawn Butler (Democrat, challenger): To Butler, progress means reducing income inequality, creating jobs and growing the city's population. Although Butler, who is Mayor Mark Mallory's director of community affairs, said he's generally supportive of the mayor's policies, he said the city could do a better job selling itself and reaching out to the business community. Butler also touted his experience, particularly how he's gone through eight budget cycles during his time with the mayor. To structurally balance the budget, Butler said he wouldn't increase the earnings tax and would instead pursue other options, such as tapping into money from the parking plan and cutting services.Angela Beamon (Independent, challenger): Beamon said she would ensure city services are spread out to all citizens and neighborhoods. She suggested struggling neighborhoods are underserved — not "underperforming," a term she doesn't adhere to — and the city should do more to reach out to them. Beamon also stood firm on her opposition to the streetcar project. Instead of funding the streetcar, she said city resources should go toward promoting business ownership and services that help the underprivileged.Sam Malone (Republican, challenger): Malone said his goal is to make all of Cincinnati's neighborhoods thrive with more businesses. He said since he lost his re-election to City Council in 2005, he's managed a small business and learned how it feels to be on the other side of the government-business relationship. Malone said his campaign slogan ("I love everybody, I come in peace") best exemplifies how he's led his life. When asked about a 2005 incident in which he disciplined his son with a belt, Malone claimed he's "running on issues" and his parenting tactics were deemed lawful by a court.

Ohio Ranks Poorly in "State of Women" Report

Shutdown hurts Ohio workers, infant mortality efforts continue, glitches snare Obamacare
Have any questions for City Council candidates? Submit them here and we may ask your questions at this Saturday's candidate forum. Early voting for the 2013 City Council and mayoral elections is now underway. Find your voting location here. Normal voting hours will be 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., although some days will be extended. The ongoing federal government shutdown is keeping thousands of Ohioans from going to work. The federal government closed its doors yesterday after House Republicans refused to pass a budget that doesn't weaken Obamacare and Senate Democrats and the White House insisted on keeping President Barack Obama's signature health care law intact. Without a budget, non-essential federal government services can't operate. As part of a broader campaign to reduce Cincinnati's high infant mortality rate, the city yesterday launched another effort that aims to educate parents in the city's most afflicted zip codes on proper ways to put their babies to sleep. According to the Cincinnati Health Department, 36 babies died from unsafe sleeping conditions between 2010 and 2011. Cradle Cincinnati plans to help prevent these deaths by reminding parents that babies should always sleep alone, in a crib and on his or her back. The education effort is just one of many to reduce Cincinnati's infant mortality rates, which in some local zip codes have been worse than rates in third-world countries. Ohioans who tried to use Obamacare's online marketplaces on opening day yesterday likely ran into some website errors, but the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is asking participants for patience as they work out the glitches, which appear to be driven by overwhelming demand. The problems weren't unexpected, given that software launches are often mired in issues that are later patched up. "We're building a complicated piece of technology, and hopefully you'll give us the same slack you give Apple," HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told reporters at a Sept. 30 briefing. Domestic violence arrests in 2012 were down from the previous year, but law enforcement officials say they need more help from lawmakers to bring down the number, which remained above 41,000, even further. Officials claim a law on teen dating violence, which, among other things, allows protective orders on accused abusers who are under 18 years old, has helped, but advocates argue protections need to be strengthened. CityBeat covered the advocates' efforts in further detail here. The Ohio Libertarian Party asked lawmakers at a hearing yesterday to loosen restrictions in a bill that seeks to limit ballot access for minor political parties. The bill, which is sponsored by State Sen. Bill Seitz (R-Cincinnati), requires minor parties to gather an estimated 100,000 signatures every two years to remain on the ballot, which Libertarians say would be difficult and expensive. Instead, Libertarians would like that provision to require the signatures every four years. Libertarians also asked lawmakers to allow voting thresholds, which give minor parties automatic recognition in Ohio if they get 3 percent or more of the vote, to apply to more than the gubernatorial race. Seitz said he's open to the changes. Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine announced yesterday that the Bureau of Criminal Investigation exceeded its goal of testing 1,500 rape kits in the program's first year. In total, the agency has tested 1,585 out of 4,053 submitted kits. The program allows local and state law enforcement to analyze and match DNA evidence to verify criminal allegations. So far, it has led to 505 DNA matches. Cincinnati could make an offer by the end of the year for a currently unused section of the Wasson Way railroad line that the city plans to convert into a five-mile bike and hike trail. Three more downtown buildings will house apartments. Although the buildings aren't directly on the streetcar route, the developer said that public transportation, along with bicycles, will play an important role in promoting the apartments because they won't have dedicated parking. The Greater Cincinnati Green Business Council is offering an energy benchmarking toolkit that allows small and medium-sized businesses to see how they can improve their environmental performance. Good Samaritan Hospital in Cincinnati is the No. 1 hospital for delivering babies in Ohio. The number of induced abortions in Ohio rose between 2011 and 2012 but ended up at the second lowest levels since 1976, according to the Ohio Department of Health. The Ohio Department of Transportation is putting more than $3 million toward purchasing new vehicles and equipment that should help elderly and disabled residents across the state. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the first "artificial pancreas" to help diabetics better monitor and control their insulin levels.

"State of Women in America" Report Ranks Ohio No. 30 Overall
Report finds state lacks leadership opportunities for women
In comparison to men, Ohio women have lower incomes, hold fewer leadership roles and disproportionately suffer from the state's high infant mortality rate. The issues placed Ohio at No. 30 out of 50 states for women's issues in a Sept. 25 report from the Center for American Progress (CAP) titled, "The State of Women in America." Out of three major categories, Ohio performed worst on leadership roles available to women, ranking No. 37 in the category with a "D" grade. CAP found only 16.7 percent of Ohio's state-elected executive offices and 37.2 percent of managerial positions are held by women, even though women make up 52 percent of the state's population. The state performed slightly better in health outcomes for women and obtained a "C-" in the category. The report particularly criticized Ohio for its infant mortality rate of 7.7 deaths for every 1,000 infants — the fourth highest in the nation — and regulations and defunding measures in the recently passed state budget that make reproductive health services less accessible to women. On economic issues, Ohio was relatively on par with the U.S. median and ranked No. 27 with a "C" grade. For every $1 a man makes, an Ohio woman makes 77 cents, which matches the national average. But the results are even worse for minorities: Black women make 66 cents for each dollar a man makes and Hispanic women make 64 cents. Still, with 17.7 percent of Ohio women living in poverty, the state has the No. 19 highest poverty rate for women in the country. The statistics were again worse for minorities: About 36.4 percent of black women and 32.6 percent of Hispanic women in Ohio live in poverty. The CAP report analyzed 36 indicators for women in the categories of economic security, leadership and health. It then graded the states and ranked them based on the grades. Vermont topped the rankings with an "A," and Oklahoma was at the very bottom with an "F." CAP, which is an admittedly left-leaning organization, is touting the report to support progressive policies that could help lift women out of such disparities, including the federally funded Medicaid expansion and an increase to minimum wages. "While women have come a long way over the past few decades, much remains to be done to ensure that all women can have a fair shot at success," said Anna Chu, one of the report's authors, in a statement. "Today's report shows that in many states, it is still difficult for women and their families to get ahead, instead of just getting by."

BOSTON, Mass. (Dana-Farber Cancer Institute) At the Dana-Farber Institute in Boston, doctors have developed a program specializing in addressing life altering concerns for young women battling breast cancer.
Always busy in the kitchen, baking is Jill Aniskoff's passion. She jokes, but last fall Jill enrolled in culinary school to become a pastry chef. Her dream is to open a bakery and be on the food network like her cooking idol.
But the day after Christmas, Jill found out she had breast cancer. She was just thirty-years old.
"I couldn't understand at my age I was so far along in the process of cancer without ever knowing, without ever having any symptoms. It just doesn't make sense," Jill says.
Dr. Ann Partridge specializes in treating young women with breast cancer at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. She says the disease can be harder on them physically and emotionally.
Dr. Partridge tells us, "often young women when compared to older women are more likely to need chemotherapy, they are more likely to need a mastectomy and this can be quite a challenge when they are trying to develop their careers, go to school, have a baby."
To help, Doctor Partridge says young women are offered fertility and reproductive services, genetic testing, psychological counseling and even survivorship classes. They learn how to manage their disease when treatment ends.
Jills says the program has helped. Losing her hair was hard and so was getting chemo and radiation. She'll be on tamoxifen, a cancer fighting drug, for five years, which means she can't get pregnant, at least for now. But she says when the time comes, she's positive things will work out.
"I am going to be able come in here and show her my pregnant belly and say you are the reason, you helped me get here and be able to send her pictures and say I am okay, we have children, they are healthy and happy," Jill tells us.

Love this wallet, 5.5.2013
Reviewer: Eleanor P Mohler
I was lost in my efforts to find a replacement for this particular WalletBe. My first and only one was finally looking very worn after close to 7 years. I continued to look at the shopping networks for a replacement with no luck. I then went online to WalletBe.com and thank you, thank you, I found what I needed. I'm so glad that I know where I can find the next replacement. Love the beautiful colors as well
Love This Wallet, 12.1.2012
Reviewer: Monica
Love Love Love this Walletbe!!! Since I found and purchased this wallet 2 years ago I'm hooked and will never purchase anything else. It hold all my cards, receipts, & bills. Each year I get a new one, not because the wallet has worn out but just to have a new color. Please don't ever stop making this product. It's the best wallet ever.
A home run!, 10.25.2012
Reviewer: Wendy S.
Been using this wallet for a few years, and it is better than any other I've used in my 50 years. It holds more than you could imagine, yet keeps it all organized. I don't even have to look...I know exactly where each card is, etc. GREAT PRODUCT! Colors are really pretty too. I have the dark purple, and it's beautiful! I'm thinking about getting the dark blue one next, just for variety.
Best wallet I've ever owned!, 10.25.2012
Reviewer: Alva Bullard
This wallet is perfect! It holds so many of my cards which seems to multiply with discount cards from the grocery and drug stores. This on top of the credit cards, insurance cards and more. Having enough convenient slots for cash and coins is also great. Like another reviewer, I've owned a smaller walletbe, but had to fold my cash down which could be a bit inconvenient. Look forward to owning this wallet for years!
Billfold accordion rocks!, 10.25.2012
Reviewer: Lisa
I just got my Walletbe Ferrari red billfold wallet and it is gorgeous. I had a smaller Walletbe for years and it was time to retire it. This new style holds so much. I love that there is a section for the mostly used cards. There are sleeves for other items like car insurance. And the billfold is a nice touch. I had to really fold down my cash in my smaller Walletbe. All in all, I really like wallet. Shipping was fast. Highly recommend this brand!

Guest Editor Eric R. Jackson, author and Associate Professor of History at Northern Kentucky University, explores the past and present of Cincinnati's African American community.
The first major American city founded after the Revolution, Cincinnati became an attractive destination for settlers and merchants from all ethnic backgrounds.
|Lesson Plans
|Country Profiles
|Focus On
|Use the Oxford African American Studies Center to bring online learning into the classroom.
|Vital statistics and reference articles on countries that have been central to the history of Africans and African Americans.
|Explore photo essays on important events, people, and themes in African American history.
Eric R. Jackson discusses the often overlooked African American history of Cincinnati.
"Rights Bound to Respect: African American Rights and Citizenship from the Early Republic to Dred Scott": Between the founding of the United States in the 1780s, and the start of the Civil War in 1861, African Americans—both enslaved and free—helped to influence how people defined American citizenship. In turn, African American social, political, and economic history was affected by the ways in which they were viewed (or not viewed) as American citizens. This lesson provides students with an opportunity to analyze how American concepts of citizenship evolved during the early nineteenth century, and to consider how African Americans were affected by these concepts.
Each year, high school students from the University of Connecticut Early College Experience take part in a semester-long research project in which they write biographies of prominent African Americans. This Teacher Resource shows how educators can lead similar research initiatives, and provides tips on evaluating online resources, comparing primary documents, and utilizing local libraries and archives.
Okey Ndibe is the author of the acclaimed novels Foreign Gods, Inc. and Arrows of Rain. In this interview, he describes his recent fiction as an exploration of the broken American dream from an outsider, immigrant perspective, heavily influenced by the giants of West African literature such as Wole Soyinka and Chinua Achebe.
This feature allows you to scroll through the tables of contents for each of the major reference works on the Oxford African American Studies Center, including the African American National Biography, Africana, Black Women in America, the Encyclopedia of African American History, as well as the newly added Dictionary of African Biography and the Encyclopedia of African Thought.

He's the man who loved you first, so it's fitting that he'd be the one to walk you down the aisle on your big day. It's going to be sentimental, and expectedly, more than a little emotional, but the last thing you're going to want to have to endure on your St Lucia Wedding day is walking down the aisle to the cheesiest love tune. Sure you want the moment to be as light hearted and fun as possible, but who really wants to remember their father daughter walk with the most inappropriate love song blaring in the background?
This week we got the Rendezvous wedding team here in St. Lucia to share some of their top picks for Father Daughter Wedding Dance tunes:
John Mayer – Daughters
"I know a girl, she puts the colour inside of my world…"
Fleetwood Man – Landslide
"Oh mirror in the sky, what is love?"
Billy Joel – Lullaby
"Goodnight, my angel now it's time to dream… And dream how wonderful your life will be"
Stevie Wonder – Isn't She Lovely
"Isn't she lovely, made from love…"
Beyonce - Daddy
"There is no one else like my daddy, and I thank you for loving me…"

Hi zimbra community -
I'm finally getting around to upgrading M2 to Beta 3 (M4 41)...
The instructions read:
Sorry for the dumb question -- maybe its just too late in the day ... but where do I download this file from? I've checked the forums and the download site ... nada.Download the zmupgrade.pm file and copy this file to /opt/zimbra/liexec/zmupgrade.pm.
Probably should have looked at this before I started the upgrade ... now I'm Zimbra-less until I figure this out. Please advise!

its been a long time! I hope all is well in your lives and I must say its good to be back here on the World Wide Web. Over the past few years I have developed a very good relationship with Jeremy Lind. Weve tried to work some sort of a partnership out for sometime and now its time to get going. I will be writing a featured blog on CF from now on.
The rules of this blog are very loose. Its simple. There are none. I dont know how often I will update it. I dont know what it will be about. Obviously it will have a Cyclone slant to it but one thing I always tell people I love about CF is that its more than a Cyclone website. To me, its more of a site to visit if you want to know whats going on in the world of sports in general. People post links, their favorite jokes and a whole lot more. While Ill write a lot about the Clones, a lot will be about other stuff as well.
I want this to be interactive. If you think Im a moron, tell me. I just might feel the same way about you. Lets just keep it clean. Negative feedback is better than no feedback at all. Basically, Jeremy and I want to bring one more layer to Cyclone Fanatic and we hope you enjoy it.
I want to make it clear as well that I am not exclusively writing for CF at this point and time. You will also see me freelancing with outlets such as CycloneReport.com in the near future and other outlets as well. That means that if I report premium information about a recruit in another article on another website, I will not be at liberty to share that with you at CF. I apologize in advance.
I realize that some of you probably have no idea who I am so let me tell you a little bit about myself. I graduated from Iowa State with a degree in journalism last May. Ive worked in the Iowa State media for almost four full years now in such outlets as CycloneNation.com, The Iowa State Daily, Mediacom, KXNO Radio, KASI Radio and the Ames Tribune. Right now, my full-time gig is at KMA Radio in Shenandoah, Iowa with my right hand man Brent Blum. Dont be surprised if he pops in and posts here from now on as well.
Enough of an introduction, lets get down to business and have some fun.
Its crazy to think about but spring football is already here. The one area that has become the biggest hot-topic is this quarterback controversy. I believe it is a complete non-issue. Dont get me wrong here. I absolutely love Phillip Bates. I covered his recruitment before he committed to Iowa State and have known him for some time. He is a class act. His father is a class act and we all know that Phillip can play. But Austen Arnaud should be the starting quarterback when the Cyclones take the field in 2008.
Heres where it gets dicey though. Bates is an incredible athlete and he wants to play quarterback. Hes been solid on that stance from the get go. Lets say that Bates enters the 2008 season as the back-up quarterback.
Do you play him at receiver too? I would. Lets be honest here people. The Cyclones need all of the athletes on the field that they can possibly get at all times. Bates qualifies. Hes one of the best. ISU cannot afford to have a guy like him standing on the sideline calling in plays. He has to be out on the field. Bates is a big play threat in the middle of an unproven group of wide receivers. Yes, its a risk to have your backup quarterback going across the middle against a Big XII defense but its more of a risk to have one of your best players on the sideline.
I will say this. I dont have a problem with Bates taking some snaps under center. How about using Bates in a Tim Tebow scenario? How about letting him take 20% of the snaps? Im cool with that. But he needs to be on the field more than he is not.
I love baseballs opening day. My favorite thing about it is how all of the sudden, so many random people really care about what happens. This isnt only on Opening Day. It goes on for the first week or two of the regular season. Go to Welch Ave. Station in Ames on or near the start of the baseball season and youll see all sorts of people absolutely hanging on every pitch like its the seventh game of the Fall Classic. A month from now, that crowd will shrink from about 50 people to five. You know the type of guy Im talking about too. The one who stumbles into class all ticked off that the Tigers just lost to the Royals like the season is now over. Its not college football bro. Get over it. There are 162 games and one loss in early April doesnt dictate your season.
Speaking of Opening Day, one of my immature yet hilarious friends posted this link on my facebook wall. If you want some good clean fun, be sure to check it out and make sure youre sitting down.
I mentioned above that I love my job. Ive recently completed my spring training tour for KMA radio covering the Kansas City Royals and St. Louis Cardinals. The trips to Arizona and Florida were amazing. I made some great contacts, got some solid interviews and all around had some fun. Of all of the unique and interesting tidbits of info I learned while in the Cards and Royals clubhouses one stood above the rest.
Tony La Russa is not a kind soul.
I hung around the Cardinals clubhouse covering his team for almost a week and I dont think I saw him say anything nice once. He never smiled. Hes the Simon Cowell of Major League Baseball. The guy makes Wayne Morgans personality shine like David Letterman. Speaking of La Russa, how about these ESPN interviews with him, Bob Knight and Wild Bill Parcells.
If you didnt see it, click here.
Now thats entertainment. It was pretty sweet to get all of that knowledge together in one interview but it really bugged me how in the interview Knight kept saying the word we when referring to the Cardinals. You are not on the team Bob. Quit acting like it.
at least hes not a golf instructor.

Had a similar conversation with a friend yesterday about Bates/Arnaud. Unless Bates is head and shoulders better than Arnaud, It would probably be best for the team and get the best athletes on the field by having him at reciever. Have to look at the tradeoffs. Is Bates a better QB over Arnaud more than he is better than our #3 reciever? If so, play him at QB, If not, he is a reciever.
Exaggeration is a BILLION times worse than understating.
I see Bates sharing snaps with Arnaud. I do see Arnaud getting the majority of the snaps though.
I would guess Bates will also be used on "gimmick" type plays as a decoy or the target.
If he is being used, he needs to be on the field enough that the defense can't key on him. Last year's use of him was a disaster because the defense knew if he was on the field that he was getting the ball.
I like your articles so good job on that. I still can't figure out why you can't hold down a job very long with such good writing and good knowledge you bring. Keep us updated.
Bates motions into the backfield from his slot reciever spot. The Zone/Read/Option is run with the pitch to Bates who pulls up and throws to RJ who started off blocking, but is now streaking downfield.
I would love to see Bates line up next to AA in the backfield. That would be one heck of a formation.
Knownothing - thanks for the comment...I think. Actually I've never been fired from a job...just so you know. Most of my stuff is on a freelance basis, just like I am doing here on CF. Just wanted to get that out there. Hope you guys enjoy it. I'm really excited about it and have a lot of fun doing it. Take care.
Interesting comment about La Russa. I am a huge Cards fan but the dude never lightens up. I think I saw him crack one smile after they won the Series in '06. That's it.
I've alwaysw hated La Russa. Glad I now have a valid reason. :)
Drunk driving loser.
Glad your here chris!
I played ball with AA and talk to him every once in a while.. i would be really suprised if he is not starting, because not only is he a good qb but the guy is one hell of a leader, one of the coolest guys i know, now i am not saying bates is not the same way, but i have yet to really meet him except for some random moments.. so yes i might be a little biased.. but owell
Iowa State: Anyone who's a true college basketball fan needs to see a game at Hilton Coliseum. Nice is in the DNA of Iowans and the fans here are particularly gracious -- even when the home team loses but gives a great effort, they are appreciative.
ESPN.com picked Hilton Coliseum as the "Hot Arena" in the Big 12...coaches in the league noted that, "regardless of talent, the Cyclones have a home court like no other."
Brent Blum posts! That guy can write a sports column. My best memories of the ISD came from his writing. The perfect combo of humor and analogies mixed with legitimate knowledge ISU athletics. Will be looking forward to more from the two of you.
Four of a kind?
The new Joe skipper from LA Dodgers and the St Lou Cardinals maanger look similar. The old manager from Pittsburgh Steelers Bill Cowher and ex Okie State coach Sean Sutton look similar. Must be their game face.
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
I am actually going to have to disagree on the Bates/Arnaud competition. I think Bates has a decent chance of winning the job outright. Chiziks comments about visiting some other coaches and installing some things that will help them could have been visiting with a zone-read offensive coordinator. Think about it: We've got Bates who will be a sophomore, and Tiller coming in who will probably redshirt. Two extremely athletic quarterbacks. I remember Tiller being compared to Vince Young at one time. Exciting possibilities, and i think that may be the direction this staff may be wanting to go.
As is well known, with that kind of an offense, quarterback injuries are more common. A very solid backup quarterback is essential, in which Arnaud would fit the bill. Its important to remember that Arnaud is by no means unathletic. Could this be the reason he tried to lose some weight in the offseason? We'll see, but this is the direction I think we may possibly be going. Very athletic O-Line with very athletic Quarterback and speedy runningbacks.
At any rate, i think that fun times are definately ahead of us.
Oklahoma style, here we come. No turnovers if possible. When we get behind, we go to AA for downfield passing.

A very severe camel toe that actually exceeds what a camel toe should be and resembles that of a moose's knuckle. Best seen in severly overweight women in spandex and brightly colored denim.

So this is my first review, but I've been a lurker on this site for a LONG time, so here it goes.
I've been a pretty big Danzig fan for over ten years, and I was severely torn as to whether I should go to this show. It was $36 after tax, and I had already seen him five other times, and his show usually varies in quality as far as his vocal performance and the setlist. I finally sucked it up just because I thought it'd be pretty sweet to hear some of the new album live.
The House of Blues was pretty packed with the usual Danzig crowd...bald rednecks and chicks dressed in hot goth clothes. I'm pretty sure it wasn't a sell-out crowd, but it was still of a respectable size.
The first band, 2Cents, went over pretty well. Admittedly, they were pretty fun to watch for their stage antics and over-the-top personality. The keyboardist added a nice touch to their otherwise typical sound. The crowd went absolutely NUTS for their cover of Pantera's "The Art of Shredding" at the end of their set.
Devildriver were up next, and they delivered as always. It was a pretty predictable setlist, but it was played so well that I couldn't really complain. This was my fifth time seeing Devildriver, and I must say that I miss the days when they played a lot of material from their Self-Titled. On the upside, Dez looks a lot better these days...almost like he's been working out. Strange.
Danzig came on around 8:50, and it was no surprise that he opened with "Wotan's Procession" and "SkinCarver." He's been doing that since my very first Danzig show (), and I wish he would change it up.
At first, he was back to his old shenanigans of moving the microphone away from his mouth so that you could only catch half of the lyrics, but he stopped doing that pretty early into the set. Overall, he sounded fantastic on the lower notes, and extremely iffy whenever he had to raise his voice to his trademark wail. It was especially painful on "Mother," YOUCH.
The Deth Red Sabaoth songs sounded great though, as did "Thirteen" and "How The Gods Kill." The band sounded excellent as well, making up for Danzig's vocal performance.
The band left the stage after "Mother," and the house lights and music suddenly came up. It was surprising there was going to be no encore! It turns out that Steel Panther was supposed to play two hours following the concert end, and they had to cut it short so they could set up for that. The band emerged from the wings, looking extremely pissed, and went through "Black Mass." It would have been interesting to hear what they would have played had they not been cut off
Overall, it's still a show worth checking out if you're a Danzig fan. In my opinion, he should switch up that setlist a bit more. I'm still waiting to hear "Sistinas" and "Blood and Tears" live.
Thanks for the review, out of curiosity, what was security like for this show? Security has supposedly been really tough the past few Danzig tours.
1/27 - Sleep
That's just about the same set as when I saw him in November. Rebel Spirits and DYWTM weren't played and the encore was She Rides and Long Way Back From Hell. Not sure what's up with playing Black Mass I'm not a big fan of I, Luciferi so I would've been disappointed if I was there. Especially since you would've been expecting something off the first three albums as an encore. WP/SC does make for a good intro and opener but he's been doing that for awhile now. Since this is a tour for DRS I think using Pyre Of Souls: Incanticle as the intro and going directly into Hammer Of The Gods would've been a good way to open the show.
Also, who the fuck is Steel Panther and why was Danzig's set cut short for them? Damn the mighty have really fallen haven't they?

Nice first review BTW, welcome aboard.
As much as I hate 2 Cents I applaud them for picking a lesser known song by Pantera. I give them credit for that atleast. Still don't know how they get on good tours. If you have to close with a cover. Its pretty obvious they have nothing original that's any good. Just like they did on their last tour which escapes me at the moment.
DD set is pretty good. Missing lack of s/t but still not bad.
Its pretty lawl That danzig basically got bumped for Steel Panther. But still a very good set. Still bummed to miss this in a few days.
6/19 - American Head Charge
7/23 - Kiss

I like the Devildriver set, I'm suprised there aren't more songs off the new album though, which isn't a bad thing. I might go to this in Pittsburgh, but I'm guessing it's way too expensive.
I've lost track of just about everything.
I like 2cents. They're a cool opener/fun band and are cool to party with. I respect bands who open then go hang in the crowd and jam out with people. These guys are cool.
Also Steel Panther rule. I saw them in San Diego as Metal Skool and didn't really get it back then even though some of the hottest women on the planet were there. Their cd is funny and catchy and their live show is better than 99% of the comedy shows you'll go to. If anyone needs to go to a Steel Panther show it's Glenn Danzig. He takes himself way too seriously and after being knocked the fuck out cold for all the world to see you would think he would get it. Instead he bans cameras from his shows. I still like his music but what a DoucheTool...
