When was the last time you felt like a kid in a candy store? Me, that was two days ago when I took a tour of the Andreas Oberg's Guitar Universe! Powered by ArtistWorks, Andreas Guitar Universe is a great educational concept for guitar players. Specially those wanting to get into jazz or expand their knowledge of guitar in general.
I have spent countless hours browsing YouTube for educational videos on all sorts of guitar styles. I have learned many tricks this way and I'm sure I'll keep doing it. I see it as a valid way of expanding my musical horizons, but it is also an overwhelming exercise. For an effective learning experience I am convinced nothing replaces structure, human feedback and coaching. And that's an irreplaceable component of taking lessons with a music professor.
So, in the online world, this is where Andreas Oberg Guitar Universe steps in! The idea is simple, it consists of a video library (hundreds of videos) covering a very wide range of topics. From beginner to very advanced stuff. Users create a student profile and have access to all these videos, which are grouped in different categories.
After the students master the different topics, they can submit their own videos regarding specific lessons and get feedback from Andreas himself, which gets published as a video. In other words, it is a video exchange between students and in this case, Andreas Oberg.
Now, let me stop for a moment. If you don't know who Andreas Oberg is, do yourself a favour, stop what you're doing and find his music! He is one of the most impressive guitar players you'll ever hear. He is one of those musicians who seem to have absolute control over their instrument. But unlike many other virtuosos, he puts his technique to the service of music and not the other way around. You can find some stories about him here: http://www.topofguitar.com/searchResults?keywords=andreas+oberg
Back to Andreas Guitar Universe... wouldn't it be cool to have the chance of getting feedback from a guitar player the calibre of Andreas Oberg? I think it is, so now let me get started with my tour of the AGU.
This is a members-only site, so you have to create a user and pay a subscription fee (as of today, $60 for 3 months). Once you become a member, this is what the landing page looks like:
Here you can see the main sections. On the left hand side there are links to videos: Lessons, Tunes, Feedback Center, Performances.
Users can interact with the online community either by posting public messages (similar to tweets) or you can also chat with logged in members, including Andreas himself. He is regularly online, which is really cool.
There are announcements from Andreas himself as well, regarding tours or news in general, including a featured video.
Now, let's take a look at the video sections:
As you can see, there is a list of topics (Guitar Basics, Tricks & Techniques, Jazz Basics, Jazz Advanced, Gypsy Guitar, etc). Each one has at least a dozen instructional videos.
Regarding the videos themselves, they consist of Andreas playing in a particular style or using a specific guitar element. Then he explains how he applies those concepts to his guitar playing, in a clear, straight forward way. If you're familiar with his playing then you know about his amazing dexterity, therefore some lessons include a slow motion clip.
Regarding the topics, they cover everything you need to know as a (jazz) guitar player. Guitar basics? Yes. Picking? Yes. Modes? Yes. How to actually use the modes? Extremely important to get a practical explanation on this topic (that's a big Yes). Scales? Yes. Sample tunes? Yes. Advanced technique? Yes. Gypsy jazz? Yes. Chord shapes? Yes. Advanced chords? Chord voicings? Yes. Arpeggios? Yes.
Then, as a student you have the option of submitting your guitar videos on specific topics and Andreas will review them and provide his feedback. You'll see the feedback is done very thoroughly and with Andreas himself showing how he would approach that topic himself. As of now, there is an unlimited number of videos each student can submit. These videos become visible to members of the AGU community, including the feedback portion.
This is where I see the most value in the AGU. Specially since lessons evolve into a video exchange between students and Andreas himself, adding so much value to the musical and learning experience.
To summarize, here is my list of conclusions after visiting the AGU:
This is where I see the most value in the AGU. Specially since lessons evolve into a video exchange between students and Andreas himself, adding so much value to the musical and learning experience.
To summarize, here is my list of conclusions after visiting the AGU:
- You get to interact and get advice from one of the best jazz guitar players in the world. This is really priceless.
- Videos are organized in a logical order, as opposed to just searching for stuff in the web.
- If you follow all topics, you will improve your guitar playing in giant steps, specially if you're interested in jazz.
- Andreas is very open in his videos, therefore you get to see many details about his artistry.
- The slow motion feature in some lessons is a great way to get a very close look into Andreas approach to jazz guitar.
- You not only learn from Andreas, but also from an online community of guitar players. Lessons evolve into knowledge exchanges, and you get access to it all.
- There is no written material regarding the lessons, either tabs or sheet music. Even though the lessons are very self explanatory and Andreas is very open, it would help to have a way to visualize the material.
- I don't think the material in this site replaces a formal theory course. There are basic and advanced topics covered, but you will still need to refer to formal theory books in order to get the most out of AGU. I see AGU as an invaluable practical approach, though.
- I see this site as a great complement to other sources of music education. In most cases, it probably wouldn't be a replacement.
- This is a great site for guitar players interested in jazz. If you're more inclined to rock music you will still learn many interesting concepts, but it might not be what you're looking for.
Andreas Guitar Universe provides great value and a priceless experience for guitar players wanting to improve their skills and knowledge. I highly recommend it.

11/23/2010 Freedom Watch w/ John Bolton, Jerome Corsi, more
Here is last night's edition of Freedom Watch with Judge Napolitano.
Here is last night's edition of Freedom Watch with Judge Napolitano.
Love the show. If I wanted to talk to someone about this website and how it is maintained, who would I contact. Feel free to email me. If you need my email address please post here.
Judge, You let Bolton off easy. Hammer him on the 4th amendment, hammer him on what he means when he says we should be working on regime change in North Korea. He is a statist through and through, and you gave him an outlet to express his statist opinions mostly unchallenged. If this had happened on any other show, I'd understand. But not this show.
Love the show as usual, but PLEASE make this website's YouTube videos iPhone friendly!!!
"Knows more about this regime than anyone else": C'mon judge, both Doug Bandow and Ivan Eland know more about N. Korea than Bolton, and are not statist apparatchicks
What the &%#@, there are 11 seconds (from 6:53 to 7:04) missing?!?…..cut?!?…..edited?!?…..CENSORED???!!!??? from Bolton's reply to
the Judge's 4th Amendment question – very "trickey-dickey".
Could you please reload the video or tell us why it was edited?
Don't ignore or whitewash this issue – it's too important.
I'm sorry, what did you say Judge, that our troops in Sth Korea cost $1 Trillion, surely you're not naive enough to believe that we haven't made more than that from our protection racket with the Sth Korean government and the reimbursement money (read profit) from the Korean War. Also, who made us the policemen of the world, we are the only ones who have ever used an atomic bomb against a civilian population, and we have the biggest stockpile of atomic weapons. This would not be a problem if we stick to the constitution, but the constitution is nothing more than a joke to the powers that be, they laugh at it.
Kucinich had his chance when he was a member of Ron Paul's committee to audit the Federal Reserve. At the last minute he backed down cowardly and voted no, thus stabbing Dr. Paul as well as the American taxpayers in the back. Why didn't the Judge mention Kucinich's turncoat tactics? More importantly, why does this openly socialistic Congressman from Ohio deserve another chance?
Why is a nation building, neo-con such as Bolton considered the last word on North Korea? Was the Judge unable to find qualified libertarian foreign policy experts from CATO, LewRockwell.com, Reason or the Future of Freedom Foundation? The Judge could have at least asked Bolton to comment on news stories which reported South Korea admitted firing the first shot. If it was not obviously apparent that Bolton's political platform mimics that of the Bush and in many ways the Obama administrations, it should be dangerously clear that his fascist support, as a cheerleader for the TSA puts him at odds with everything the Judge and fellow libertarians stand for. Your Honor, if you continue to provide valuable airtime to statists such as Bolton, you may one day lose a significant amount of your loyal libertarian viewers as a result of such complicity, whether unintended or not.
Bolton is now on my shit list. I used to respect him but his sucking up to Big Brother and the crotch grope destroys my respect for the man. He is obviously a moron.
Enjoy your nut grab Bolton – it seems you enjoy the attention. the rest of us patriots till continue to fight this.
was the first shot fired into North Korea?
The reason for the Porn Machines and "Pat Downs" suddenly came clear as Secretary Nepolitano announced massive new hiring for TSA to cover all forms of transportation. Growth of Federal Government is the consistent ambition. Before 2012 the Democrat leadership will hire hundreds of thousands more employees and let illegal immigrants into the country to set the stage for a democrat victory in 2012 by executive amnesty by the president.
Massive hiring is going on as we speak and the Republicans that enjoyed the support of conservative voters appear to be forgetting that primary reason they are there. We heard John Boehner made a statement saying there should be a freeze on hiring. A statement isn't enough! There should be a proposal immediately! Our Central Government will grow by hundreds of thousands if we don't.
Our Central Government grew 6500% since 1910 amid a population growth of only 300% and now its growing out of control! The Republicans must focus on this or there will not be a fungible government to operate.
LewRockwell.com featured a link to Russia Today and a news report that claims South Korea admitted blame for firing the first shot, perhaps by accident but as a result of ongoing military drills. The internet has several articles from various sources about this story. The Judge should have, at the very least, asked Bolton about this claim.
One of the most overt collectivists in Congress, Dennis Kucinich had his chance to investigate the Federal Reserve when he was a member of Ron Paul's committee to audit the Fed. At the last minute, this socialist defector cowardly voted no (along with fellow traitor Barney Frank). With backstabbing friends such as these, the good Dr. Paul doesn't need any more enemies. If the so-called libertarian Gasparino had done his homework, he would have known full well about the recent antics of turncoat Kucinich and would have never given the Ohio Congressman any undeserved credibility.
PLEASE don't refer to the "Tea Party" as libertarians – they're not even close.
Bolton is lying through his teeth when he says other countries grope people at airports. I've been to dozens of countries and the US is the only country that gropes people's testicles.
The government doesn't care one bit about our rights. The Supreme Court has already trampled on them so many times, and said point blank we know this is a violation of the 4th Amendment but we don't care. we are allowing it for the public good.
The cases are "Michigan State Police v. Sitz" "United States v. Martinez-Fuerte" and "United States v. Brignoni-Ponce". The first one is DUI roadblocks. The last two are about Border Patrol doing roadblocks and randomly stopping people.
The Supreme Court is going to let the TSA do anything it wants because of cases like these. They are going to say the TSA can violate your rights because it is for the good of the public. In otherwords because the TSA is trying to keep everyone safe.
I wasn't aware that the Constitution allowed exceptions to violate our rights. If that is the case, what is even the point of the Constitution.
Welcome to America, where you might have some rights, depending how they feel, and depending on the time and location of where you. Isn't America so grand….not really when it does this kind of thing.
The problem with the TSA is they've never caught a single terrorist. The TSA is nothing but an ILLUSION of safety. You can keep your "safety", but I'll keep my privacy with both feet firmly planted on solid ground.
Just wanted to say that the Judge is a real American and I am so thankful for him and his show!
This isn't even the Judge's website, but a third party friend of the Judges. The Judge, nor the owner of this website has no control over how the YouTube videos are cut. The Videos belong to and are posted on YouTube by http://patriotsnetwork.com
Revlis, don't try and tarnish the Judge's character and credibility when he has nothing to do with the YouTube Video cuts embedded on this site.
This isn't even the Judge's website, but a third party friend of the Judges. The Judge, nor the owner of this website, has no control over how the YouTube videos are cut.
The videos belong to and are posted on YouTube by http://patriotsnetwork.com. A suspect neo-con leaning organization in my opinion. Not sure why they like the Judge enough to record and post all the segments from his show.
Not that you can trust American media (or the internet for that matter), but can you really trust Russian Media. Russia are and have always been allies of North Korea, no matter what they say publicly.
I don't disagree with you
That is very informational blog post!
Your completely right with this one!!
I agree completely…

Hey Conflict Photographers: Are You in the New HBO Series?
HBO, the premium cable network, has agreed to air a four-episode documentary series, "Witness," about war photographers. The Hollywood Reporter says the documentaries, produced and directed by Michael Mann and David Frankham, will follow young photographers covering conflict in Mexico, Brazil, Uganda and Libya.
Not yet announced, however, is who the featured photographers are. So we want to know: Have Michael Mann and David Frankham asked if they can follow you around with cameras while you're trying to document conflict? If not, do you care to make a guess which war photographers the series might feature?
The pilot has been shot in Juarez, Mexico, but three more episodes are in the works. We're pretty sure that, given the HBO audience, the featured photographers will be English speakers, and at least one will be a woman. And they'll be telegenic.
Does the reality of war make appropriate fodder for reality TV?
In a statement, Mann says: "David Frankham and I share an admiration for combat photography that captures the universal — and sometimes the indescribable — in a single frame in the midst of chaos and danger." Frankham notes, "The direction Michael and I took in creating Witness was to immerse the audience via intimacy with the photographer into the intensity of a situation as it's developing, as they risk their lives to capture one piece of the truth."

I've found the statement on the internet that the polynomial $x^3-5x$ is injective on the rational numbers, but without any comments on how to prove it. I think it means it must be easy, but I don't see how I can prove it. I'm getting a complicated expression, in which I don't see anything.

If $x^3 - 5x = y^3 - 5y$ with $x\neq y$ then $x^3-y^3 = 5(x-y)$ or $x^2+xy+y^2=5$.
Solving for $x$ in terms of $y$:
$$x = \frac{-y\pm \sqrt{y^2-4(y^2-5)}}2$$
So $20-3y^2$ has to be a square of a rational number. This is equivalent to finding integer solutions to $ 20q^2 - 3p^2= n^2$ with $(p,q)=1$. Show that this isn't possible $\pmod 5$.

What If I told you that you can WIN at ANY state lottery game using a proven lottery strategy? How would it feel to cash your ticket using a proven lottery strategy instead of throwing it in the trash can? It is all possible to beat lottery games now thanks to the Lottery Strategy Package! Beat lottery games with ease including the pick 3, pick 4, pick 5, pick 6, and scratch off game!
Turn Up Your Speakers and Press PLAY To Listen To An Important Message About How YOU Can Win The Lottery!
Can anyone REALLY beat lottery games?
Yes, by using simple mathematics and my system, state lotteries can easily be beaten.
For the average person not using a system, the pick 3, pick 4, pick 5, pick 6, and scratch off lottery games is almost impossible to beat over time. If you have a great system in place you can easily beat any lottery game over and over again.
By simply using a mathematical formula that has taken years to develop, I have figured out how to beat these lottery games consistently. This took years of developing, but it will be available to you today.
Just imagine.. if you could walk into the gas station, grocery store, or any lottery center knowing your going to win today!
Why do states allow me to beat them?
It's really simple, there are MILLIONS of lottery players who are not armed with this system. The lotteries make BILLIONS of dollars beating the public. A couple people like me and you will not make a difference to their profit.
99% of addicted lottery players are long-term LOSERS feeding money into a lottery that is practically unbeatable until now!
Stop gambling and start investing your money.
The problem with gamblers today is they have no plan of attack. They walk into the casinos and lottery centers expecting to lose. When I walk into a casino or a gas station, I am going to work. I walk in with my system and I walk out knowing I will be a winner after the drawing.
Just think of your lottery hobby turning into a part-time job. Who knows, maybe you'll make more money then your full time job. It's really all up to you!
By using my "ethical cheats" you could hit the correct numbers day after day for all of your state's lottery games.

|MBB plays opener Friday
Game 1: Idaho (0-0) vs. Wright State (0-0)
When: Friday, Nov. 9, 2012 (7:05 p.m. PT)
Where: Moscow, Idaho (Memorial Gym)
Radio: Vandal Radio Network/VandalXtra
Television: None
Online Video: VandalXtra
Live Stats: www.GoVandals.com
A Look at the Raiders:
Wright State was 13-19 overall and 7-11 in the Horizon League last season. The Raiders lost 2011-12 leading scorer Julius Mays (14.1/gm), but return three of the team's top five scorers. Last year's leading rebounder, junior forward Cole Darling (3.6/gm), also returns. WSU limited opponents to 61.5 points per game and caused 16.3 turnovers per game. On offense, the Raiders scored 58.0 points per game and shot .398 as a team. Only one returning player, guard Reggie Arceneaux, made more than 20 3-pointers for WSU last season. WSU opened exhibition play this season with a 78-56 victory over Central State, in which the team scored 26 points off turnovers.
Wright State Head Coach Billy Donlon:
Billy Donlon is in his third season at Wright State and holds a 32-33 overall coaching record. It's his seventh year overall with the program after he was WSU's associate head coach for four seasons before his promotion. He also has a four-year stint at UNC Wilmington. In his time as an assistant coach, he helped lead three teams to the NCAA Tournament. Donlon played at UNCW and also moved on to an international playing career. He is a 1999 graduate of UNCW.
Idaho Vandals
Idaho officially opens the 2012-13 season on Friday after a pair of exhibition wins over Seattle Pacific (77-71) and Central Washington (92-75). The Vandals will try to move to 5-0 in home openers under head coach Don Verlin this weekend. Idaho returns two starters and eight total letter winners from last year's team that went 19-14 overall and finished third in the WAC. Senior center Kyle Barone (12.9/gm) and junior guard/forward Stephen Madison (12.1/gm) were two of Idaho's three leading scorers last season.
Vandals vs. Raiders
Idaho and Wright State have played just once, but last year's matchup was a doozy. The game featured nine ties and 16 lead changes, went to overtime after Idaho's Landon Tatum banked in a halfcourt buzzer-beater, and then ended when WSU's Julius May's hit a buzzer-beating three at the end of the first overtime period for an 80-78 Raider win. That game produced two Sportscenter Top 10 Plays for the day and was one of the most exciting games of Idaho's season. Kyle Barone (21p, 14r, 3b) led Idaho, while WSU's Reggie Arceneaux had 19 points on 7-of-12 shooting. Both of those players return on Friday.
Season-Opening Success
Since the Don Verlin era started in 2008-09, Idaho is 3-1 in season openers and 4-0 in home openers. Idaho's average margin of victory in home openers under Verlin is 16.0 points. Idaho fell at Long Beach State, 69-61, in its 2011-12 opener and beat Concordia, 77-61, in its first home game last season.

The Party Girl Diet #1 Super Bowl Chili Recipe
Makes 6 – 8 servings (Suggestion: Double the recipe to make sure you have plenty of chili on hand for seconds)
- 2 pounds ground turkey (lean) - you can also substitute lean ground beef to make traditional beef chili
- 2 cans Red kidney beans or black beans - or 1 of each, rinsed & drained well (whole beans/no salt added)
- 2 – cans diced tomatoes, drained, any low salt variety (Try fire roasted, diced tomatoes)
- Olive oil (few tablespoons)
- 4 chopped garlic cloves
- 2 – diced onions (red, yellow, or white)
- 1 – Fresh jalapeno pepper – seeded, minced (optional - but adds a nice "kick")
- ½ – jar tomato sauce (any low salt variety)
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika (optional - adds a subtle yet deep smokey flavor)
- Fresh cracked black pepper and sea salt to taste
- Can use 1/2 package of low-sodium chili seasoning in place of individual spices above
Plus Chili Bar Toppings:
- 4 - 6 diced, fresh Roma tomatoes
- 1 - 2 red onions chopped
- 3 or 4 chunky, diced avocados (spritz with fresh lemon or lime to prevent browning)
- 2 - 3 coarsely diced sweet peppers – all colors
- 1 bunch fresh Cilantro - chopped
- 2 cups shredded Cheddar Cheese
Party Tip: Have more chili bar toppings already cut and prepped on hand and ready to go for refills
Step 1: Combine the following ingredients in a large deep skillet or pot:
- A few tablespoons olive oil
4 chopped garlic cloves
- 2 – diced onions (red, yellow, or white)
- 1 – Fresh jalapeno pepper – minced optional. (Special note – be sure to remove the seeds first, and wash your hands well after discarding – they are dangerously hot) *You can also leave the hot peppers out of the main dish and serve them minced in a bowl with the other chili bar toppings for those who like their Chili spicy and hot.
Cook all of the ingredients in Step 1 together until onions are clear.
Step 2: Break up meat with spatula; stirring gently and frequently until all the meat is cooked through, consistency should be crumbly. Drain any remaining fat, and then proceed to Step 3 below:
Step 3: Add in the following ingredients and cook through until hot and bubbly:
2 cans of red kidney bean, black beans - or 1 of each (no salt added – any variety)
2 – cans diced tomatoes, drained, any low salt variety
Set up a fun "chili garnish bar" with the topping ingredients outlined in the "Chili Bar Toppings" section above in bowls with serving utensils.
For a fun n' easy clean up twist – serve the Party Girl Diet's Chili in taco salad bowl shells, or ladle into (light) cornbread muffins that have had the middle scooped out.

I know someone who uses Forever Living aloe vera products and one of her step daughter's elderly ponies was very ill a couple of years ago, the vet was stumped and really wanted to pts, however she persuaded him to pass a stomach tube and she literally poured litres of it down over a few hours. She went to bed not expecting the pony to survive the night, but she felt she had to give him a chance. In the morning she looked out the window and saw her husband go into the stable, she put her head back under the duvet expecting the inevitable, when he didn't come in she looked back out and there he was taking the pony a hay net. That pony survived another few years. I've also heard about it being good for joint and mobility problems as well as stomach issues, there are a few different blends that they do depending what your needs are. I've used their gel for wounds with great success, both in humans and horses.

If you find a baby bird it's best to return it to its parents. There is no truth to the Old Wives Tale that says the parents will not go near the baby once handled by a human. Birds have no sense of smell - they know each baby by its voice.
If you can see and reach the nest you can put the baby bird back. Make sure the baby is not hurt before returning it to the nest. A healthy baby should feel warm and look alert & active.
It may be necessary to make a substitute nest if you are unable to reach the original nest. You can make a nest with a plastic bucket that is deep enough to hold the baby securely. Just punch holes on the bottom of it for drainage. Put the original nest in the bucket if it has fallen. If the original nest is in tact and hard to reach, then place twigs and dry leaves in the bucket for your replacement nest. Securely fasten or nail the new nest as close to the old one as possible and place the babies inside. The new nest should be at least 5 feet from the ground.
Watch from afar to see if the mother responds. If the adults don't respond within 4 hours, the baby will have to be raised by a wildlife specialist.
Most baby birds need to be fed every 15 minutes for most of the day by their parents. Do not try to give the bird milk or water - just keep him someplace quiet until the new nest is ready or until you can find him help.
If the baby bird is hurt (cold, inactive or bloody), it needs help. Contact your local humane society for a list of wildlife rehabilitators or clinics. The Animal Rescue League of Boston or the MSPCA in Jamaica Plain may be helpful.
Fledglings are birds that are two weeks old. They have feathers and a tail that's about 1/2" long. It is their time to go out and explore. You may see them hopping around on the ground because it takes them a few days to learn how to fly to low branches. It takes them about two weeks to learn how to feed themselves and call to their parents to be fed.
Fledglings should be left alone. We get many calls every spring for "injured" birds that are unable to fly. If the bird looks healthy, active and does not appear to be injured (for example, feather sticking out), the bird is probably a fledgling. Try to keep people and pets away from them and let nature take its course.

It has been a year in preparation, and workmen have been toiling on site for weeks.
Later today the gates will be flung open at the first of the annual two-day Tennent's Vital concerts, drawing a huge stream of revellers to south Belfast across today and Sunday.
Though smaller than last year, when it ran over three days, it is still expected to bring 50,000 concert-goers to Boucher Road playing fields over both days combined.
Yesterday workmen were putting the finishing touches to the rigging as ominous grey clouds hovered overhead.
But by this evening the gigantic open venue will be heaving with gig-goers as Bastille and headline act The Killers take to the stage – with the Met Office predicting that the weather from 7pm onwards should be sunny.
Though it has been running since 2002, is the third year the concert has been held at its present location.
The organisers said 400 stewards will be on duty for security, and pledged that there will be no repeat of the 2012 sound fiasco, when residents as far away as Comber had complained that they could hear the concert from their homes.
Last year they re-aligned the stage to solve the problem, and spokeswoman Sarah Shimmons said that it should present no issues again this year.
Mrs Shimmons, from Tennent's NI, said: "We're really excited – we can't wait for it.
"It's such a big gig this year. We've added in a few extras this year such as the Ferris wheel that we have on site."
She said among the other novelties will be scratchcards that will be given away, with prizes including free pints of beer.
Asked how big a logistical undertaking it is, she said: "It's massive. A lot of people have been here for maybe two weeks already.
"We ourselves would be working on this year-round; it's a year-round job for some of us...
"It really comes alive when consumers get here, so we're really looking forward to the doors opening at around five o'clock".
Translink will be running special train, bus and coach services for the gigs – but reminded concert-goers that drink will not be permitted on board.
For details, see: www.translink.co.uk/tennentsvital or call (028)90 666630.
The second of the two gigs will see dance music superstar David Guetta headline the concert, backed up by Steve Angello (formerly of Swedish House Mafia).
The gates will open slightly earlier, at 4pm.
Tickets cost £49.50, and are still available for both of the concerts.

Do Pets Grieve?
Animals can form very firm attachments with each other. Even pets that outwardly seem to barely get along will exhibit intense stress reactions when separated. In fact, grieving pets can show many symptoms identical to those experienced by a grieving pet owner. The surviving pet(s) may become restless, anxious and depressed. There may also be much sighing, along with sleep and eating disturbances. Often, grieving pets will search for their dead companions and crave more attention from their human companions.
You can help your grieving pet by considering the following recommendations:
- Keep the surviving pet(s) routines as normal as possible.
- Try not to unintentionally reinforce behavior changes.
- If the pet's appetite is picky, don't keep changing the food. It can create a more finicky pet.
- Be careful to not overdo the attention given to the pet(s) as it can lead to separation anxiety.
- Allow the surviving animals to work out the new dominance hierarchy themselves. There may be scuffles and fights as the animals work out the new pecking order (dogs mostly).
- Do not get a new pet to help the grieving pet(s) unless the owner is ready.
- The owner needs to be emotionally ready for a new pet.
- A grieving owner generally will not have energy for a new pet.

California Theatre
431 B Street,
Santa Rosa,
1 person favorited this theater
Showing 4 comments
I am writing an historical performance piece for the Lamplight performances at the rural cemetery in Santa Rosa based on the Cal theatre and vaudeville. Do any of you know someone who is of the right age to have attended vaudeville there in the 30's who could be buried in the old, historic cemetery on Franklin?
Here is an item from the January 5, 1924, issue of Exhibitors Herald:
"The new G. & S. theatre was opened last week at Santa Rosa and is managed by T. C. Reavis, who also owns the Cline and Rosa of the same city. This house, it is said, cost $250,000 and seats 2000. The policy calls for feature pictures, vaudeville and road attractions."A September 11, 1977, article by Gaye LeBaron in the Santa Rosa Press Democrat says that the G & S Theatre was both designed and built by local contractor Albert M. Hildebrandt. The owners of the building, John Greeott and Eligio Strobino, leased the theater to an experienced theater man, Thomas G. Reaves.
The first show at the new house was a production of the Broadway musical Blossom Time, and the first movie shown was Lon Chaney's version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. The house was also on the Pantages vaudeville circuit in its early years.
This photo dated 1928 shows the name California Theatre on the vertical sign, but it looks like G & S Theatre might still be on the front of the marquee (it's a bit blurry.)
I am the Jeff Morse named in the above article. The California Theater sadly closed in 1977 and demolished not long after. It was built in the late 20's under another name, the G & S, but was named the California by the 1930's. It was built not only for films but for vaudeville as well and had a functional stage, dressing rooms, and an orchestra pit. Its a a shame city planners didn't see the possibilities, it would have made a wonderful performing arts venue downtown, something that Santa Rosa sorely lacks. The interior was richly decorated in what I suppose could be called 1920's chinoiserie with murals of Chinese peasant life. An interesting footnote- Nathalie Wood, a Santa Rosa native was introduced to films in this theater and knew it well in her childhood. On the site of the theater is a garage for the downtown mall. Thank you very much for the photos! I've never seen them before. It brought back many fine memories. Jeffrey Morse moravocis at sign mac.com
Here is part of a January 2000 article in the LA Times:
These Sunday columns that harken to days gone by are never long enough for the nostalgiacs (Yes, I made up that word; don't write me) among us. For example, last Sunday's piece, about theaters that have come and gone, left no room to talk about the California Theater's magnificent organ, the Wurlitzer Hope-Jones Unit Orchestra Style D.
By coincidence, we have news of that Wurlitzer this week. Santa Rosa resident Jeff Morse, one of a multitude who grew up in the old Cal, did some research to find out what happened to the organ. There are a lot of coincidences in what Jeff found.
This old beauty, installed in 1923, when the California was opened (as the G&S Theater), had been well maintained in its 54 years in Santa Rosa, the last years by organist Jack Bethards, who presided over its last great Santa Rosa concert, in 1975, as an accompaniment for a special showing of the silent film "Phantom of the Opera."
So, when it was decreed that the California would be demolished to make way for Macy's in 1977, the Wurlitzer brought $8,000 from a wealthy San Diego man, a collector, who donated it to a theater in San Diego. The name of the theater (coincidence #2; the timing of Jeff's note, as I was preparing to write the Sunday column, being #1) was the California.
"I always thought it was rather nice," wrote Morse, "that while our California Theater was only a memory, the heart of our theater was still alive, thrilling new audiences."
But, when Jeff contacted John Dapolito from the San Diego chapter of the American Theater Organ Society, he learned that the Wurlitzer had been removed from San Diego's California Theater in 1987 and placed in storage. In 1995, after several unsuccessful attempts to find a home for it in a theater, it was installed in a church. Seven months after it was in place, it was destroyed in an arson fire.
Dapolito then delivered to Morse the news that constitutes coincidence #3. "The California Theater," wrote the San Diegan, "has been condemned. The building is still there, all boarded up and in a bad state of disrepair."
Kind of makes you wonder if that Wurlitzer was a jinx, doesn't it?

This is a very good, fragrance-free cleanser that also functions as a scrub. The abrasive agent is polyethylene (plastic beads), which are preferred to natural abrasive agents (such as ground-up nut shells and fruit pits) because they are spherical in shape. This rinses cleanly and is suitable for all skin types. For additional details on plastic microbeads in cosmetics, see the More Info section below.
Plastic Microbeads in Cosmetics: This product contains polyethylene beads, which is an ingredient that has come under controversy in the recent past. In December of 2013, research published in the peer-reviewed journal, Marine Pollution Bulletin demonstrated that although polyethylene beads are non-toxic to humans, they are not filtered during sewage treatment and are accumulating in waterways. This means the beads have the potential to negatively affect marine wildlife who mistakenly consume them (Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2013).
Additional research published in December of 2013 demonstrated that polyethylene beads have the potential to absorb pollutants while in waterways. This research was conducted to establish the potential of absorption, however, and was not conducted using samples from actual waterways (Cell, 2013).
Beautypedia does not take an ideological stance in reviewing skincare products; rather, our reviews are based upon each product's potential harm or benefit to skin contingent upon what independent peer-reviewed scientific research has demonstrated. On issues like polyethylene beads in cosmetics or animal testing, we present the facts without judgment so that you may make your own decision whether or not this product is right for you.

Marcelle At-A-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive; Marcelle provides complete ingredient lists on its Web site; drugstores that retail this brand provide testers, including makeup testers; almost every product is fragrance-free; some good cleansers and makeup removers; impressive eyeshadows; great lipsticks and lip glosses.
Weaknesses: The hypoallergenic claims are misleading because this claim isn't regulated and there are no standards governing its use; formaldehyde-releasing preservatives not recommended for those with sensitive skin; the anti-acne products are mostly alcohol, which is damaging to skin and can increase oil production, making acne worse; dated moisturizer formulas; some greasy cleansers; a general lack of state-of-the-art ingredients; foundations with sunscreen do not provide sufficient UVA protection; average to poor mineral makeup; no shades for those with tan or darker complexions; mostly lackluster mascaras.
Nestled among the flashier lines filling the shelves and display cases in Canadian drugstores is this unassuming, attractively priced skin-care and makeup product line. The packaging is simple and the message clear: These are "hypoallergenic and perfume-free," ergo great for sensitive skin. In reality the claim that these products are hypoallergenic isn't accurate in the least—much like Almay—but that claim is Marcelle's major selling point.
First, the term "hypoallergenic" is not regulated; that is, there are no standards in place for that term so a cosmetics company can attribute hypoallergenic to any product they want, regardless of the ingredients. The second point is that even the most scrupulous company, even if it takes the greatest care about what ingredients it includes in its products, simply cannot know what your skin may be allergic to. Marcelle showcases the elimination of "perfume," (aka fragrance) but fragrance is not the only potential culprit in a cosmetic formulation. And third, allergic reactions are not the primary problems that a cosmetic can impart to skin. Irritation is far more pernicious and, indeed, many of Marcelle's products contain ingredients that have a high potential for causing irritation, such as alcohol, sodium lauryl sulfate, and formaldehyde-releasing preservatives (e.g., imidazolidinyl urea, DMDM hydantoin, and Quaternium 15; one of their products even contains hydrochloric acid. (Can you believe that?!) Irritating skin-care ingredients not only cause free-radical damage but also lead to an increase in oil production in the pore and break down collagen.
Aside from the erroneous claims, Marcelle hasn't kept up to speed with their formulas in comparison to several other lines at the drugstore. You can easily find moisturizers from other lines that have far more elegant textures and formulas teeming with beneficial ingredients just not from Marcelle. Almost every product Marcelle sells is woefully out of date; their rudimentary formulas are akin to using a typewriter instead of a computer.
Color-wise, you'll find the foundation, concealer, and powder shade ranges are limited to those with fair to medium skin tones. Although it's great that the Marcelle displays provide testers for the makeup, much of it is better left alone. There are some high points, particularly the powder eyeshadows, lipstick, and lip glosses, but the mascaras are barely exciting, the pencils all need sharpening, and the powder blush fails to impress.
All told, Marcelle is best viewed as a line with a few sleeper products worth checking out at price points that won't stress most consumers' budgets, although a few dollars more will get you infinitely better options.

Final Stats
OXFORD, Miss. -
Becker O'Shaughnessey clinched his fourth match of the season to advance the men's tennis team to the second round of the Southeastern Conference Championship with a 4-2 victory over Arkansas on Wednesday at the Palmer/Salloum Tennis Center. With the win, the Crimson Tide improves to 13-12 overall, while the loss drops the Razorbacks to 16-16 on the season.
Alabama got off to a solid start by securing the doubles point with wins on courts one and two. The Tide's 34th-ranked duo of O'Shaughnessey and Daniil Proskura downed Arkansas' Gregoire Lehmann and Mike Ward, 8-4, on court two to take the first match in doubles. The Razorbacks would even the count with a win on court three, leaving the point up for grabs for the winner on court one, which was a battle throughout and eventually decided in a tiebreaker. Alabama's Jarryd Botha and David Vieyra, ranked 13th in the nation, pulled in front, 3-0, in the tiebreaker, but Arkansas' Mike Nott and Manfred Jeske came back and soon pulled in front 6-4. Botha and Vieyra were able to fight off two match points and win four games in a row to take the tiebreaker, 8-6.
The Razorbacks' Jovan Parlic tied the match, winning the first singles point on court five, but the Tide would jump back in front shortly after with Stuart Kenyon earning a 6-4, 6-0 victory on court six over Victor Hoang. Arkansas collected its final point of the match next on court four, before Botha and O'Shaughnessey were able to close it out on courts one and three to give Alabama the win.
Next up, Alabama will take on the tournament's fifth-seed in Mississippi. The match is slated to begin on Thursday at 3 p.m. CT.
RESULTS Doubles 1. No. 13 Botha/Vieyra (UA) def. Nott/Jeske (ARK) 9-8(6) 2. No. 34 O'Shaughnessey/Proskura (UA) def. Lehmann/Ward (ARK) 8-4 3. Fess/Munoz (ARK) def. Kenyon/Tsangarides (UA) 8-6 Order of Finish: 2,3,1

A Utah woman has been arrested after police found the seven bodies of dead infants in containers in her home and garage. Fox 13 Now reported on April 13, 2014, that 39-year-old Megan Huntsman was booked into the Utah County Jail and faces six counts of murder. Police believe that she gave birth to six of the children over a 10-year period and then killed them.
The police were contacted and responded to the home after residents found what appeared to be a dead infant at full term in a container while cleaning out the garage. Upon arriving and searching the home, police found the additional bodies.
One of the babies was believed to be stillborn.
According to the press release from Pleasant Grove Police, "During the course of the investigation information was obtained that; over a 10 year period a 39 year old female gave birth to the infants and then killed them."
Huntsman had not lived in the home since 2011, and she had shared it with her husband. Her husband, a Mr. West, served nine years in a federal prison on drug distribution charges. West had returned to the home to begin cleaning it out when he and helpers found the seven dead infants.
During the time that Huntsman was living in the home, she was there with three children that were hers and West's. Those children have grown up and are now in their teens.
Police have now issued a number of search warrants after the discovery of the bodies of the infants. One of those warrants is for the West Valley City home of Huntsman.

|Steve McNair will be the starter and kick @ss this season. He had a hell of a year bringing the Ravens on a few comeback games in his first season as QB and will return to that form this coming season. Boller is terrible.

Double posted here from my main Sparkpage.
I have been overweight my whole life. As a child due to a medical condition I grew quickly both up and out. After a few surgeries and many outpatient procedures I was told at the age of 13 that while my problem would never be gone (I was born missing a couple bits) everything was functioning normally and would most likely continue to do so for many years. Perhaps even most my life. Great news. Unfortunately the weight was still there and not coming off. I was 13 5'5" 250 lbs. and done growing. Over the next few years I tried diet after technique after diet. Nothing changed. By my early 20's I had given up. This all changed a few years ago. My father developed high blood pressure so I had to watch the sodium count in the foods I was making. I had never really payed close attention to anything other than the calories and fat on labels. What I learned was you have to either be a chemist or really do your homework every time you buy something new to know what you're putting into your body. Forget that. I started making most everything myself. I was still eating the same things in the same amounts only without all the extra whatever-that-stuff-is. The weight started coming off. I wasn't even the first to notice. One day my aunt, who I hadn't seen in a few months, mentioned that it looked like I'd lost some weight. I brushed it off at first thinking it impossible. Over the next few days it nagged at me. I had noticed a few of my shirts fitting more loosely but had put that down to the age of the shirts. But auntie hadn't seen me for awhile, and if I had lost, someone who hadn't seen me in a while would probably be the first to notice. I thought what could it hurt and got on the scale. 227 it read. I had lost 23 lbs. without even noticing (you know you're big when). Over the next year or so another 25 came off. I lost nearly 50 lbs. without lifting a finger. Then the work started. I've been (mostly) busting my butt since to get the rest off. Early on I stumbled on this site and have been taking grateful advantage of the counters and articles. Being in the habit of keeping mostly to myself I really only lurked around the fringes of the community area. But now I feel as if I need a little nudge. I've just turned 30 and it's way past time to get my life in order. I've stagnated for too long. My first move in this new era is to put myself out there. If I can't make myself part of the virtual world I'll never get out in the real world. So here I am taking that first tiny step. Perhaps writing my goals and journey down here will make me more accountable to myself and give me that extra oomph I need.

on introducing yourself and letting others know all about you and how you've struggled to lose weight! We've all been there and it does feel good to have others to talk to that have been through alot of what you've gone through. I see that you are also a member of the RA team like, so that alone contributes to having to work all the harder to get the weight off. I've had RA since 11/08 and have just started on Humira in April and are starting to feel better than I have in over 20 years. I know that I had more pain than the norm way back when and all the tests came back negative until 11/08 for RA! In a way it's a blessing to finally know what's wrong, but still who wants RA or any of the other auto-immune conditions?! I admire you for ALL the weight you've lost and for the awesome discipline you must of had to get it off.
I've lost 67# and have gained 10# back since being on biologics, first was Enbrel that didn't work for me. Also, I plateaued and that didn't help with feeling good about everything. I'm going to add you and feel free to add me back because the more support we can get the merrier!
and I will too!

California bill seeks firearms restraint for dangerous people
Bill prompted by May attack that left six dead
SACRAMENTO - California could become the first state to allow family members, licensed therapists and health care providers to petition a judge to take firearms away from someone who has shown signs that they could harm others or themselves.
California's bill, AB1014, was prompted by an attack in May that left six people, including the student attacker, dead in Isla Vista, near the University of California, Santa Barbara.
A Senate committee will hear it Monday as state lawmakers return from a monthlong summer recess.
Connecticut, Indiana and Texas already have laws that let law enforcement seek to take guns from people they consider a danger.
Democratic Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner of Berkeley says her California bill would help in cases where family members are the first to see the warning signs.

Ionotropic gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA(A)) receptors control the relay of nociceptive signals at several levels of the neuraxis. Experiments with systemically applied benzodiazepines, which enhance the action of GABA at these receptors, have suggested both anti- and pronociceptive effects. The interpretation of such experiments has been notoriously difficult because of confounding sedation. Here, we have used genetically engineered mice, which carry specific benzodiazepine-insensitive GABA(A) receptor subunits, to test whether diazepam, a frequently used classical benzodiazepine, exerts antihyperalgesia after systemic administration in the formalin test, a model of tonic nociception. In wild-type mice, systemic diazepam (3-30 mg/kg, p.o.) dose-dependently reduced the number of formalin-induced flinches during both phases of the test by about 40-70%. This antinociception was reversed by the benzodiazepine site antagonist flumazenil (10mg/kg, i.p.), but fully retained in GABA(A) receptor alpha1 point-mutated mice, which were resistant against the sedative action of diazepam. Experiments carried out in mice with two diazepam-insensitive subunits (alpha1/alpha2, alpha1/alpha3 and alpha1/alpha5 double point-mutated mice) allowed addressing the contribution of alpha2, alpha3 and alpha5 subunits to systemic diazepam-induced antihyperalgesia in the absence of sedation. The relative contributions of these subunits were alpha2 approximately alpha3>alpha5, and thus very similar to those found for intrathecal diazepam (0.09 mg/kg). Accordingly, SL-651498 (10mg/kg, p.o.), an "anxioselective" benzodiazepine site agonist with preferential activity at alpha2/alpha3 subunits, significantly reduced formalin-induced flinching in wild-type mice. We conclude that systemic diazepam exerts a genuine antihyperalgesic effect, which depends on spinal GABA(A) receptors containing alpha2 and/or alpha3 subunits.

The transmission of atmospherically derived trace elements (Al, As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Se, and Zn) was evaluated in a small, undeveloped, forested watershed located in north-central Maryland. Atmospheric input was determined for wet-only and vegetative throughfall components. Annual throughfall fluxes were significantly enriched over incident precipitation for most elements, although some elements exhibited evidence of canopy release (Mn) or preferential uptake (As, Cr, and Se). Stream export was gauged based on systematic sampling under varied flow regimes. Particle loading appears to contribute significantly to watershed export (> 10%) for only As, Pb, and Fe, and then only during large precipitation/runoff events. The degree of watershed transmission for each trace element was evaluated based on a comparison of total, net atmospheric input (throughfall) to stream export over an annual hydrologic cycle. This comparison indicates that the atmospheric input of some elements (Al, Cd, Ni, Zn) is effectively transmitted through the watershed, but other elements (Pb, As, Se, Fe, Cr, Cu) appear to be strongly sequestered, in the respective orders noted. Results suggest that precipitation and subsequent soil pH are the primary factors that determine the mobility of sequestered trace element phases.
To further resolve primary atmospheric and secondary weathering components, the geochemical model NETPATH was applied. Results indicate that minerals dissolved include chlorite, plagioclase feldspar, epidote, and potassium feldspar; phases formed were kaolinite, pyrite, and silica. The model also indicates that weathering processes contribute negligible amounts of trace elements to stream export, indicative of the unreactive orthoquartzite bedrock lithology underlying the watershed. Thus, the stream export of trace elements primarily reflects atmospheric deposition to the local watershed.

Unless you've been totally oblivious to the world of wrestling (and if so, why are you reading this?), Sunday marks Wrestlemania XXX from New Orleans. For all the pomp and circumstance, which in all honesty shows just how powerful this event has become, at the end it boils down to the product that takes place in the ring. However, before going into the lineup, let's look at two names that were prominent parts of last year's show, that have nothing to do with Sunday's event: The Rock and CM Punk.
After putting over John Cena at last year's event, ending a very long term storyline, The Rock has been absent from the WWE scene, with no indication of him returning anytime soon (so much for the "never leave again" interview). Obviously, WWE knew well in advance that he would not be a part of this show, and honestly, the one area they needed to worry about was the media attention that Rock can garner for an event. It is hard to get that kind of mainstream coverage with anyone else, but WWE has managed to somewhat compensate for it with Hulk Hogan joining the company and utilizing him for press events and media appearances for the show.
When CM Punk decided to walk out of the company three months ago, most figured he would return in time to claim a spot on the Wrestlemania lineup, possibly even in the main event. Well, time has run out on that happening, and while some still expect him to show up in New Orleans on Sunday (or the next night on Raw), he is not an advertised part of the show, and it is hard to imagine any scenario that has him in anything other than a run-in role on the show, and that's probably more wishful thinking for Punk fans than anything else. WWE's answer to not having Punk was to give fans (potentially) a double dose of Daniel Bryan. While the "Punk" chants still ring out, they've gotten fainter as weeks have gone on, showing WWE is weathering the storm thanks to their renewed push of Bryan.
Now, to look at what we will be getting on Sunday:
Preshow: WWE World Tag Team Champions Usos vs. Los Matadores vs. Jack Swagger & Cesaro vs. Curtis Axel & Ryback. In recent years, it has been a crapshoot whether the tag titles would get on the PPV or the preshow, or possibly get left off entirely. They made the preshow this year with a four-way that should be quick (as preshow matches usually are), and given those involved, entertaining. Usos retaining or a possible Swagger & Cesaro win seems to most likely options.
Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal – WWE seemed to make a conscious effort to focus TV time on building up the top matches at Wrestlemania this year and pretty much relegate a good portion of the roster to this match, including crowd favorites and top stars such as Sheamus, Big Show and Rey Mysterio. There's a number of potential winners, and someone like Big E. or Dolph Ziggler could use the push of getting the win in this match. That said, hard to not see Sheamus coming away victorious, or at least being in there at the end. Regardless, this old school fan just likes that they are paying tribute to Andre The Giant and at least more members of the roster get a Wrestlemania appearance.
Vickie Guerrero Divas Championship Invitational – AJ Lee is working on a record setting Divas title reign, and will be in a 14-Divas match where one fall ends it. Odds should be heavy on a title change, but I would not be shocked at all to see Lee escape with her title intact. Expect this to be fast as well, and see my above comment about getting more of the roster on the show.
New Age Outlaws & Kane vs. The Shield – After the Royal Rumble, you had to expect the Shield to be broken up, but WWE pulled their finger off the trigger and instead opted to keep the unit together and give them a babyface turn. The dynamic of Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose, who have all the potential in the world as rebellious future stars for the company, against "Attitude-era" veterans working for those in power is a simple one, but effective. Hopefully this match gets enough time to showcase what the Shield can do, although that will probably depend on how long the singles matches that headline the card go. Unless WWE plans on keeping this feud going, Shield should come out victorious and heading for another showdown with Bray Wyatt and Co.
John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt – I actually think WWE's decision to give Cena a break from the main event picture this year is a wise one. Makes you feel that he isn't being shoved down your throat, which is usually the biggest complaint I hear about him. Wyatt has been WWE's hottest rising heel in a while, and has been delivering great matches this year. I fully expect a wild brawl with interference and chaos, and Cena might win, but regardless this match will be another step into the top of the card for Wyatt, who certainly doesn't have the usual "look" or character for WWE.
Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar – To reference what I wrote above, The Undertaker is not a "part-timer" in my eyes, he is an attraction, and that is the difference. His annual Wrestlemania matches bring back memories of when the traveling NWA World Champion (Harley Race or Ric Flair) or Andre The Giant would visit a territory a few times a year to help draw a big house. Undertaker is at Wrestlemania to help draw that stadium size crowd, and his matches continue to deliver. This time, we have Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar, and I would expect some MMA-style grappling and striking mixed in with downright brutality. It will probably be Brock's best match since returning to the company. You don't really expect me to pick a winner here, do you?
Daniel Bryan vs. Triple H – If Triple H wins, we riot. Just kidding. I'm watching from home, so rioting would just result in me breaking my own stuff, and why would I do that? Seriously, most figure CM Punk would have been in this spot, but instead "The Game" will have the chance to pass the torch to Daniel Bryan, which I fully expect him to do. I think the real question is whether the WWE World Title match will be able to top this. On paper, Bryan vs. Triple H in a singles match just looks to have a lot more potential than the Triple Threat match.
WWE World Champion Randy Orton vs. Batista vs. the winner of Daniel Bryan vs. Triple H. As a rule, I'm not the biggest fan of three-way matches, as they usually fall into a basic formula of a rotating participant "taking a nap" on the floor while the other two face off, only for a "last minute save" and eventually a barrage of match-ending moves that get broken up. Obviously, I am expecting Daniel Bryan to be the third participant in the match, so it will be interesting to see the crowd reactions if he is out on the floor and we are left with Orton vs. Batista for any considerable length. Ending Wrestlemania with a stadium of fans doing the "Yes" chant would be an incredible visual, and I don't see WWE ending their annual event with a heel victory this time.

Despite early prediction by ChelanCounty PUD officials that the water level in Lake Chelan would not meet the May 1st target elevation – it did, barely.
The water sat at 1087.87 above sea level on Tuesday, just more than three inches above the PUD's target.
PUD Resource Engineer, Scott Buehn, told Kozi listeners that the focus will now turn to the June 1st target that will add about 2 more feet to the lake.
Buehn adds that as part of the PUD's FERC- (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission) license to operate the Lake Chelan hydro plant, there are seven operating objectives and minimum target elevations from May 1st to October 1st.
As a result of the higher water level, two more of the lake's boat launches back in service: Chelan Riverwalk park and OldMillPark in Manson.
The pair of launches will join MansonBay boat launch in the open status, leaandLake ChelanState Park, Lakeshore Marina and 25-mile Creek State Park are expected to open with the June 1st target level."CLICK HERE" for Audio"CLICK HERE" for Audio
