Ashlanders will have a chance to vote on whether to approve an agricultural extension service district if supporters can get a funding measure on the May 2014 ballot.
District tax revenues would support 4-H, Master Gardeners and the Southern Oregon Research and Extension Center in the wake of Jackson County funding cuts this year.
City councilors unanimously agreed Tuesday to let residents vote on the issue.
Backed by the Friends of Research and Extension, the district would cost 5 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value if approved. That would cost the owner of a home assessed at $158,800 — the median in Jackson County — $7.94 per year. In Ashland, the owner of a home assessed at the median of $245,000 would pay $12.25 annually.
City Councilor Carol Voisin said 4-H programs benefit youth, senior citizens and others enjoy Master Gardeners programs and the agricultural extension service helps farmers.
"I think this is one of the most important districts we could allow our citizens to vote on," Voisin said.
Supporters of a funding district acknowledged there could be competition on the May 2014 ballot.
Special funding also could be sought by supporters of county libraries and historical societies that are faced with budget woes.

Our friend Jennie Maroney has a letter to the editor today about George Soros I thought I'd share here:
George Soros� dangerous agenda
By Jennie Maroney
I read a book several years ago called �The Man Nobody Knows.�� It was about� Jesus Christ.� If I were to write a book today with the same title, it would be about George Soros.� He is also a man nobody knows.� Those who have heard about him think he is just a benevolent philanthropist who gives a lot of money to various causes.� That part is true.� However, it�s the causes he funds and supports that reveal his true intentions.
Long before Barack Obama made his now famous speech about how he was going to �fundamentally transform the United States of America,� Soros had that as his primary goal in mind also. In order to do that, he decided he had to capture control of the Democratic Party.
His flagship foundation is called the Open Society Institute and it supports many radical groups which he has used to help him make his dream of turning America into a socialist nation come true.
Some groups with which Soros is directly connected are the Tides Foundation, Media Matters (which in turn is connected to the mainstream media), the Center for American Progress, Move On, and the Democracy Alliance. All these groups interact with each other and are controlled by George Soros.� There are many, many more.� It is a huge spider web with Soros as the spider in the middle, spinning more and more webs.
In the early �90s he became involved with Bill and Hillary Clinton. Together they collaborated on a scheme intended to bring about healthcare reform.� It became known as �Hillarycare,� but he called it �The Project on Death in America.�� Soros� Open Society Institute contributed $45 million dollars to that undertaking.� One of its objectives was to ration care to the terminal and seriously ill patients, who they believed would be a burden on the healthcare system.� Sarah Palin was right when she claimed that Obamacare was the pathway to �death panels.� George Soros knew exactly what she meant, but for telling the truth, she was vilified in the liberal, progressive media.
After Sept. 11, 2001, Soros claimed that the terrorist attack on our country was due to �American Supremacy� and described it as the �number one problem in the world.�� That is his idea of the country to which millions immigrated in order to obtain the liberty and opportunity it offered.
What he calls �the number one problem in the world,� is the country that saved the world from Nazism and Fascism in a war that caused the death of thousands of young American men and boys, some of whom are still buried in European cemeteries.� That should give you an idea of who George Soros is.
David Horowitz has written extensively about him.� One of his books is titled �The Shadow Party: How George Soros and Hillary Clinton and Sixties Radicals Seized Control of the Democratic Party.� Another is titled, �From Shadow Party to Shadow Government: George Soros and the Effort to Radically Change America.�
Horowitz was brought up by Communist parents and was a radical member of the Left for many years.� He is now a conservative who writes from personal experience of how communists and socialists think, plan and act.� If there is anyone who can explain the socialist agenda, and is able to write about the people who want to radicalize this country, it is David Horowitz.
Soros has been successful in turning the Democratic Party against the United States.� He cares nothing for our history, how our country was founded or what we call �the American way of life.�
The Democratic Party has become more and more liberal throughout the years.� Ronald Reagan once said that he did not leave the Democratic Party, it left him.� Thousands of others feel the same way.� It is important to understand why and how George Soros has almost singlehandedly succeeded in radicalizing the Democratic Party until we no longer recognize it as the party to which many of our parents belonged.�� We need to learn before it is too late that George Soros is attempting to bring down an entire party and with it, possibly the United States itself.
President Barack Obama, progressive Democrats in Congress and the liberal, leftist media have been complicit in George Soros� endeavor to destroy the greatest country on the planet. Wake up, America, before his dream becomes our nightmare.

The challenge of spatial dimensions
@\:ch value\=\"226 128 147\"/= @Normal=[S"","Normal","Normal"] @Dropcap=[S"","Dropcap"] @Bodytype=[S"","Bodytype"] One of the most difficult things we humans find doing is to understand the idea of spatial dimensions. Humans were made smart, but, unfortunately, not smart enough. If we were a little less intelligent, we wouldn't even think of these crazy ideas. Can you picture a chimpanzee worrying about spatial dimensions? Anyway, try to imagine living in two-dimensional space.

The Osage Eighth grade football team walked away victorious after taking on Southern Boone on Thursday night.
The Indians finished the game with a score of 26 to zero bringing their overall record to 2-0 for the season.
"They really controlled the scrimmage all night and were able to march up and down the field," Coach Mark Edwards said. "Our passing game looked much improved from the first game, as well. Defensively we were strong once again. Southern Boone runs an unusual offense and we shut them down."
Zach Wheeler threw a 41 yard touchdown pass to James McCann in the first quarter and another 38 yard touchdown pass to McCann in the second quarter. Nick Riley had a 43 yard run in the second quarter. A two point conversion pass from Wheeler to McCann also added to the scoreboard. Finishing off Osage's points, Ian Riley had a 4 yard run in the third quarter.

Regulate Commercials
Published: Sunday, January 13, 2013 at 12:31 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, January 13, 2013 at 12:31 a.m.
You have published a couple of articles on this subject, but the Federal Communications Commission should become involved to regulate the number of commercials that should be allowed on regular TV programming. Consumers already are paying a high price for cable programming, only to be inundated with a bunch of silly, stupid commercials that have little or no relevance.
There should be a cable service that allows you commercial-free programming, such as premium channels. I think consumers in America should have the option of a service without these commercials dominating the airways.

Monday, July 16, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Families around Augusta gathered at Lucy Laney Stadium to enjoy the Peach State All-Star Battle of the Bands over the weekend.
"We're out here to raise awareness in the community of the need of the arts and continuing the arts programs in the schools," said Power 107 radio personality P-Nyce.
Each band consisted of young boys and girls who competed to see which group had the best performance.
"Being a director, I just wanted to get some of the kids off the streets and into something positive," said Latoy Harrison, a band director for one of the groups.
With the recent violence in the area, organizers said it was important for the community to enjoy a family-friendly event.
"Instead of stopping the good stuff from going on because of the bad, let's keep the good stuff going to try and overpower the bad," said one of the event coordinators, Antonio Allen.
Cpt. Scott Peebles was also present to show support and offer heartfelt words for the audience.
"We want our youth to be doing positive things. We're always talking about how our youth get into a lot of negative stuff, but when they do something positive, we need to come out as a city and support them," Peebles said.
As the sounds of instruments flooded the stadium, organizers knew the Peach State event hit every note on the music sheet.
"The families, they're loving it. They'd much rather see their kids on the field rather than out here in the streets somewhere," Allen said.

About the Book
To what lengths would you go to keep a past buried?
Samantha Moore is the golden girl—with a perfect job, a perfect man, a perfect life—until a random act of violence changes everything. Unconscious for two months, Sam awakens from her coma a different person—bitter, in constant pain, and forced to endure medications that leave her nauseous, paranoid, and struggling to keep a grip on reality.
Furious with her family for sending her away to a small, remote town to recuperate—placed completely under a physical therapist's care and robbed of what little freedom she has left—Sam lashes out at the "nice people" all around her who claim to have only her best interests in mind. But are her violent outbursts the by-product of her condition . . . or something else entirely? Strange things are happening here—and either Samantha Moore is losing her mind or her friendly new neighbors are far more dangerous than they appear to be. . . .

Once we arrive at Alcatraz the participants swim parallel to the island to experience sighting and feel the currents of the bay. After the swimmers return to the boat they are taken to the potato patch where they can experience the rough water directly in front of Alcatraz. This would be the start of the swim practice. This is very valuable experience so that on race day you don't encounter an unwelcome surprise-you are ready! The last jump is usually near the destination of the race and swimmers practice their sighting, and "feel" the water near the end of the Triathlon swim, the steps of the Saint Francis Yacht Club or Crissy Field. You will learn about the currents you might expect during your race and plan your route accordingly.
Many swimmers who have trained with us during our clinics have reported better times in their competitions this year, plus they felt strong and confident during their race.

Integrating climate change into development
Much of the thinking to date on how to address climate change has focused on incrementally reducing emissions - such as the commitment to reduce emissions to 5 percent below 1990 levels under the Kyoto Protocol. These incremental improvements are important first steps, but successful climate change management calls for a new development paradigm that integrates climate change into strategies and plans, and that links policy setting with the financing of solutions.
To do this, UNDP collaborates with other UN agencies under the "Delivering as One" framework to help United Nations Country Teams integrate climate risk into the formulation and implementation of key UN cooperation frameworks such as the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF). As the co-chair of the United Nations Development Group's Task Team on Climate Change and Environmental Sustainability, UNDP helping to develop a guidance note to assist UNCTs mainstream climate change into the UNDAFs. This guidance note will be available in early 2010.
UNDP has also stepped up its own policy and capacity development services on climate change and assists UNDP country and regional offices in climate proofing their development assistance to countries. This includes targeted efforts to integrate climate risks into UNDP programming and providing methodological tools and advisory services.

Loans not backed by real estate may be making a comeback
Published: Thursday, March 28, 2013 at 11:40 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 28, 2013 at 11:40 p.m.
If Southwest Florida's community banks keep up their current pace through the rest of the year, they probably will record more Uniform Commercial Code, or UCC, filings than in either of the last two years.
Banks typically use UCC filings to record loans that are not backed by real estate or are supported by other assets in addition to real estate.
They allow lenders to see what other lenders have secured as collateral for a business loan.
That may include machinery, furniture, fixtures, inventory, accounts receivable, other business assets or all of the above.
In 2009, the region's 13 community banks recorded 344 UCC filings, but that number dropped 10 percent to 311 in 2010.
Now-defunct LandMark Bank saw the biggest decrease in UCC filings, from 36 in 2009 to 11 in 2010. Gateway Bank came in a close second, with only 10 filings last year compared with 19 in 2010.
Charlotte State Bank filed 136 UCC filings from 2009-11, Florida Shores, 136; Bank of Commerce, 106; First America, 76; Community Bank, 56; Insignia Bank, 52; LandMark Bank, 51; Englewood Bank, 41; First Manatee, 37; National Bank of Southwest Florida, 37; Gateway Bank, 35; Sabal Palm Bank, 23; Calusa National Bank, 8.

Sunday's crash on Bobby Jones Expressway left four people dead and two more very badly injured. And the coroner's office just released new information. One of the two victims in critical condition has taken a turn for the better, but doctors at MCG are still keeping her under close watch. News 12 spoke to an officer who saw the whole thing unfold before him.
A pickup truck flipped into the oncoming lane of traffic, causing cars to pile up, and shutting down the expressway for several hours. Richmond County Sergeant Jessie Jackson was almost part of the accident.
"I only had a couple of seconds. I swerved to the right to dodge him, got back behind, went back to the accident scene behind me," Jackson said.
He was the first to call for help. Deputies say the driver of the pickup, 44-year-old Lawrence James Skinner, lost control as he raced another vehicle in the eastbound
Lane. The female passenger was thrown, and orange dots mark where the bodies landed.
"We had people down everywhere," Sergeant Jackson said.
The truck avoided Sergeant Jackson, but hit a small car, leaving tracks as it skidded off the expressway.
The car then ended up down in a ditch, just feet from the road.
Two of the five in the car were critically injured. Thirty-seven year old Gloria Lewis and her 12-year-old niece Tyroneesha died. Richmond County Coroner Grover Tuten says this is one of the worst crashes he has seen in Richmond County.
"Very seldom do you have four fatalities in one wreck, possibly two more," Tuten said.
Deputies say five cars have serious damage. A sight Sergeant Jackson won't soon forget.
"It was just a split second, I didn't have a whole lot of time to think," Jackson said.
The wreckage is almost gone, but the memory will stick with him.
And the female passenger who was thrown from the pickup is 45-year-old Janice Fay Stout. Deputies say the drivers of the other vehicles are okay. Deputies say alcohol may be linked to the accident. They will know for sure when a toxicology report comes back on Lawrence James Skinner.
The other racer, Christopher Bush, Jr. is in the Richmond County jail. He faces four counts of vehicular homicide in the first degree and one of reckless driving.

KISS guitarist Frehley's NY home goes up in flames
Published: Sunday, December 15, 2013 at 7:42 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, December 15, 2013 at 7:42 a.m.
YORKTOWN HEIGHTS, N.Y. - A suburban New York house owned by former KISS lead guitarist Ace Frehley has gone up in flames.
The Journal News (http://lohud.us/1fu8Tcg ) reports that firefighters were called to the stone house in the town of Yorktown Heights late Saturday morning.
The home was heavily damaged, with flames burning through the roof.
The newspaper says the musician had been fighting foreclosure on the property in Westchester County Court.
The Red Cross helped a resident with emergency lodging. A neighbor says a caretaker had been living in the home.
It was not clear where the 62-year-old founding member of the famed rock band was at the time of the blaze.
He played with the group until 2002, during what was billed as their farewell tour.

December 2, 2005
Alcohol sales in Aiken stores dry up this Sunday. And that could mean cash stops flowing, too. News 12 talked with business owners to see if they think this will hurt their registers.
Two years ago the South Carolina Department of Revenue issued special permits to let stores sell alcohol on Sunday, but those have now been deemed illegal.
Mike Rushton live sin Aiken County. Since Sunday beer sales aren't allowed there, he comes to the city of Aiken to buy beer that day.
"I think it's a good thing for those who drink and for those who don't want to drink they don't buy it anyway, so why should anyone care," Rushton said.
But this Sunday Mike won't be able to pick up a six-pack in the city either. Sunday alcohol sales are over.
Ketan Patel owns Three-Way Food Mart and is disappointed Sunday shopping will be inconvenient for customers like Mike.
But Patel doesn't think he'll lose any money with the Sunday alcohol permit going away.
"If you compare with the license fees versus the business on Sunday, to have it or not is the same thing," Patel said.
Here at Three-Way they found picking up a six pack on Sunday wasn't a habit of many customers because Sunday sales were only around for the last two years.
For those who are in the Sunday buying habit, they'll now have to think ahead.
"If I'm gonna drink on Sunday I'll buy my beer and stuff on Saturday or Friday," said Wade North.
And if someone in Aiken still needs a fix, alcohol is legal at Aiken restaurants.
The issue of Sunday alcohol sales coming back to Aiken is expected to be appealed in a circuit court in the future.
In 2002 Aiken voters approved a law that allows alcohol sales inside restaurants only. In 2003, a state board said that law included sales at stores as well. The board changed their mind in 2004. And now we're back to no Sunday sales. But the debate continues about the wording in that law, and that's why it's expected to be appealed.
That decision puts South Carolina back on a similar footing with Georgia in alcohol sales. Restaurants in the Peach State can sell liquor by the drink on Sunday if the city allows it, stores cannot sell it. Grovetown voters just approved Sunday alcohol sales in restaurants.

Portillo Serves Up Fast-Casual Unit for Sale
The Portillo Restaurant Group Inc., which describes itself as the largest privately owned restaurant company in the Midwest, has hired Piper Jaffray to explore its financial alternatives, including a sale of its fast-casual division.
The Oak Brook, Ill.-based company's main chain, Portillo's Hot Dogs Inc., operates 38 stores that are decorated to fit themes ranging from the prohibition era through to retro. It traces its roots to a hot dog stand known as "The Dog House" that opened in 1963 with an $1,100 investment from the company's founder, Richard J. Portillo.
"We've enjoyed significant growth over the past 50 years, experiencing same-store sales increases over the last 10 years in the Chicago-land area, even when the economy as a whole suffered," Mr. Portillo, who's also the company's chief executive, said in a statement Wednesday.
The company, which recorded more than $300 million in revenue in 2013, owns other smaller chains including Barnelli's Pasta Bowl and Honey-Jam Café, as well as a catering unit that ships items including Italian beef, hot dogs and ribs to customers in 50 states.
A sale of Portillo's fast-casual unit would come at a time when the sector is in favor with investors. Fast-casual chain Zoe's Kitchen has jumped 78% since its stock market debut earlier this month.

About the Book
"An elegant and complex thriller….Harrowingly beautiful."
—New York Times Book Review
"A hugely impressive achievement—ambitious in scope, and skilled in execution."
—Los Angeles Times
"The Redbreast certainly ranks with the best of current American crime fiction."
—Washington Post
No disrespect meant to Henning Mankell and Stieg Larsson, but Jo Nesbø, the New York Times bestselling author of The Snowman, is the most exciting Scandinavian thriller writer in the crime fiction business. The Redbreast is a fabulous introduction to Nesbø's tough-as-nails series protagonist, Oslo police detective Harry Hole. A brilliant and epic novel, breathtaking in its scope and design—winner of The Glass Key for best Nordic crime novel and selected as the best Norwegian crime novel ever written by members of Norway's book clubs—The Redbreast is a chilling tale of murder and betrayal that ranges from the battlefields of World War Two to the streets of modern-day Oslo. Follow Hole as he races to stop a killer and disarm a ticking time-bomb from his nation's shadowy past. Vogue magazine says that "nobody can delve into the dark, twisted mind of a murderer better than a Scandinavian thriller writer"…and nobody does it better than Jo Nesbø! James Patterson fans should also take note.
Detective Harry Hole embarrassed the force, and for his sins he's been reassigned to mundane surveillance tasks. But while monitoring neo-Nazi activities in Oslo, Hole is inadvertently drawn into a mystery with deep roots in Norway's dark past—when members of the nation's government willingly collaborated with Nazi Germany. More than sixty years later, this black mark won't wash away, and disgraced old soldiers who once survived a brutal Russian winter are being murdered, one by one. Now, with only a stained and guilty conscience to guide him, an angry, alcoholic, error-prone policeman must make his way safely past the traps and mirrors of a twisted criminal mind. For a hideous conspiracy is rapidly taking shape around Hole—and Norway's darkest hour may still be to come.

To each and all A Blessed Christmas Editorially Speaking . . . and a Happy New Year Flathead Tribal Council Moves to Encourage Charcoal Industry to Move to Reservation According to statistics of our nationwide population there has been a tremendous move of people leoving the cities to fettle in suburban areas -and the country. These people are mostly people who are working in cities and undoubtedly our great state of Montana, as well, will be affected some day. Relative to our own Reservption, statistics show 50 per cent of our people live off the Reservation and a great many of these people have left because of the one important problem—lack of work. We who have been on the Tribal Council have looked at this labor problem from a!l angels and it is indeed a problem. In the first place we must have industrial, sites, railroads, power, material and available man-power. We are satisfied we have the above items. The one thing that is a major factor and that is competition of the above items as we must bear in mind that many other areas want the same projects. In many cases the other areas have more than we have to offer, such as buildings', cheap power, low freight rates, etc. We are now happy to announce the construction of our first building at Pablo, Montana, for the manufacture of the very popular product, charcoal briquettes. With the help of Mr. Reuben Fuhrer, assistant to Tom St. Clair of the Industrial Development Division of the Bureau of Indian Affairs this project has become a reality. Through very careful study of this little factory by our Tribal attoineys, the attorneys and officials of the Big Bear, Inc., (plus moral ar.fi legal assistance by the Bureau of Indian Affairs we were able to arrive at a conclusion that everything was in line to proceed with the plant. The one thing that may be interesting to our readers is that the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes had to spend approximately $35,000.00 for the buildings as was agreed on when our first meeting was held several months ago. This company was not pushed for a site as the city of Livingston, Montana had made a prior offer of accommodations just as good as ours but fortunately Mr. Fuhrer, with the green light of his superior officers, devoted much time to all procedures of our first factory. The Tribe will receive approximately eight per cent on our investment until a time when we may negotiate a sale of the buildings to the company at an agreed price. The land the buildings arc on is under a lease to the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes on a long Jerm program with -t^he only cost being for paper handling. The Plum Creek Lumber Company near Pablo, Montana owns the land. The Big Bear, Inc , briquette factory is erected a very short distance from the waste burner of the Plum Creek mill. When the (Continued on page 2) PUBLISHED BY CONFEDERATED SALISH AND KOOTENAI TRIBES, FLATHEAD AGENCY, MONT. Vol. 4 — No. 6__November - December, 1960 Pictured above are Big Bear, Inc., officials Kermit Harrison and Gerald Delin discussing grading and leveling operations with Tribal Council Chairman William Morgeau (on grader tire) who was the contractor for the earth work at the plant site. Tribal investment is partially represented in this large steel storage building located near Plum Creek Lumber company plant near Pablo. Another building, with more floor space but not as high, will house equipment and operations of the charcoal briquet manufacturing plant.

MIKE'S SONG is a great opener, IMO. Granted, it usually doesn't stretch out as much as it can when placed otherwise, but it really gets the crowd going. This version mostly featured machine-gun Trey on guitar in the jam. The segue into SIMPLE was very abrupt; it was not a smooth transition but came after the "end" of Mike's (the end being what the usually play before H2). Trey gave us the screaming guitar riff after the be-bop line, which I love. The jam stuck to the simple theme/chords, and was very mellow at times. BEAUTY OF MY DREAMS was next, which we had just heard the original of on the Badger in the morning. Leo had a nice little solo after Trey told him to play it. ROGET, which I had never heard, is a great new song. The main lyric is "The circus is the place for me" if you want to be able to recognize it. Unfortunately, there is nothing even remotely about a Thesaurus. The whole band sings on this one, trading lines like Page and Trey "Rift"-style. There is a short jam that I can only describe as psychedelic. The lyrics continue the contemplative nature of latter-day Phish, IMO. After the song, Trey says "Thanks for coming everybody, I hope you're having as good a time as we are." Then, "By request from a tiny little boy named sam" come SOAMelt. I would describe this version as medium length and typically great. POOR HEART featured some nice yelling by Fishman. Before I heard it, I thought MOMA DANCE would suck the life out of Black Eyed Katy by adding sing. I'm very happily mistaken. The song begins like BEK and featured some Simple teases. The lyrics are very cool, and I'm going to have to run to dejanews and check if anyone has transcribed them. I look forward to hearing this on the album if it is indeed there. Since the sun was just starting to peek through the clouds, we knew what was coming next. DIVIDED SKY is one of my favorite songs to hear outside and was played very tightly. It might have been a bit longer than usual but I can't be sure. The new arrangement of WATER IN THE SKY followed, continuing the sky theme. The new version reminds me of the CD single of Strange Design, with some great percussive work by Fishman. FUNKY BITCH was what I thought might be the set closer, based on the length at this point. Page was all over the organ in this Bitch. While a segue is noted between Bitch and CITIES, I didn't hear one on the tapes. Trey messes with the lyrics a bit, asking us "Did I forget to mention the garden of infinite pleasantries? Home of the portalet pagoda and the pond the steam comes out of. And the Hojo dojo." This version was nowhere near as good as the Went, however. They then break it down for the people on the ferris wheel into an almost bluesy jam and segue into WEEKAPAUG GROOVE. Trey gives us an anthem-like guitar solo which ends in a jam off the main riff of Weekapaug to close the set.
Setbreak: We headed out to the garden of infinite pleasantries and tried to figure out what was going on with the people who were heating up the rocks. As we watched, scared of the giant sentry, 4 or 5 people in yellow arabian costumes ran past us with a giant tree branch and a chainsaw, yelling "Chainsaw Bonzai!" Ever curious, we followed them as they ran to and up the step pyramid to the top. They then proceeded to start up the chainsaw and cut the branch, in a great parody of real bonzai gardening. Soon, a man on stilts came and chastized the bonzai practitioners for "killing trees" and tried to get the audience to join him. It didn't really work, however, and as soon as the guy with the chainsaw was done with the tree branch, he decided to go after the stilts. He cut them down to short stubs and then they solemnly brought the bonzai tree away from the pyramid. As we were following them to see where they were bringing the tree, we encountered some masked individuals wheeling a cart with 2 red-hot rocks in it. They brought this cart to the blue pond, and ,in a very serious manner, dumped them into the pond. The pond steamed as the rocks were dropped in, but very little. The mask people left, as seriously as they had come. We then walked around some more and checked out the shopping and other such stuff (who would have thought that they would sell phatty glass IN the venue?). We then moved back a to the second speaker tower on the right of the stage, which turned out to be a very chill place to hear the concert.
THE WEDGE got things going and was an obvious choice with Limestone in the lyrics. It was similar to the version at the Went. Next came one of the songs that, IMO, defines Phish, REBA. There was a pretty mellow jam (beyond the typical composed part) that had some nice interplay (echoing, etc.) between Page and Trey. This version included the whistling, which I was happy to hear. GUMBO followed Reba, and included the the best jam of the night, if you don't count the 4th set. It was long and funky, and left the funk to build using chords similar to Tweeprise. I was hoping for a segue into Walk Away, but instead, I got the rare treat of SANITY. Trey probably looked up and noticed that the stars sucked, and got a big cheer when he announced that fact. There was a little spacey messing with the mnain riff at the end of the song by Page, Trey and Mike, which ended when Trey played the beginning of TWEEZER. Page gave us a little Frankenstein style-keyboard work in the beginning and Mike was laying down a thick groove throughout. Trey was playing in true machine-gun style, not funk, and then the jam slowed to a hard rock groove that slowed to a stop. THE HORSE>SITM was standard, but that doesn't mean I (and everyone else) didn't cheer at the "just last year" lyric. CHALKDUST was a typically rocking version that didn't stand out in my eyes, but was fun to dance to. The glowstick war during SLAVE was amazing to watch, and Limeston secured its status as the best place for such a war. Slave was definitely great, but I don't feel like I can say objectively how great, just because all of my senses were working overtime.
Setbreak: Quick run to the bathroom and then an hour or so of chilling (literally and figuratively) before the next set.
NICU is a song that I've been hearing a lot lately, so I'm getting a bit tired of it. It still has some of my favorite lyrics, which Trey flubbed a bit with a laugh. It melded into BOWIE, or as I termed it, the space intro, because it was at least 8 minutes long. The band pulled out all of the space effects that they have; Fishman started and stopped the bowie cymbals several times before they kicked into the beginning of Bowie. The jam was mostly guitar-based, and didn't stray too far from the song structure. In between climaxes at the end of the song, Trey mixed it up a bit, bending notes like crazy. STRANGE DESIGN, far from being "dreadful" as the Bangor paper called it, actually served as a nice comedown from Bowie. Had very appropriate lyrics, considering the long drives everyone had made with their companions. Next up was LIMB BY LIMB, and I really enjoyed the stop after the lyric section and the way they bust right into the jam after it. Has this been happening all summer? This was a very good Limb, but not quite up to the standards of the Went. BRIAN AND ROBERT has some very cool music, but the lyrics leave me a bit perplexed, as Phish usually doesn't write things this dark. If anyone wants to take a chance on interpreting them for me, I'd love it. LOVING CUP is a classic sing-along cover and a great set closer. The solo may have been a little longer than usual, but maybe not.
HALLEY'S COMET was nothing like the Went, but more similar (if a bit shorter) to the Ball, with a building jam. Trey again referred to the garden of infinite pleasantries in the lyrics. CAVERN followed immediately after Halley's, and I was disappointed to see no one throwing shoes at the band like in days of yore. We all knew TWEEZER REPRISE would follow, and we weren't disappointed. At the end of the song, Trey tells us all about the Ambient Jam that would follow.
Setbreak: We made our way back to the tent as fast as possible in order to change into some warmer clothes. We figured we had plenty of time; so we grabbed some great organic coffee from a vendor to warm and wake us for the fourth set. As we attempted to go back to the venue, we were met with a large exodous of fans leaving the jam. Was it that bad, I thought?
The AMBIENT JAM was wonderful, and my only regret is that the damn setbreak was too short for me to get into my warm clothes and get back into the venue in time to hear the whole thing. This was the ideal Phish experience for me: sitting down on a blanket and taking in a completely improvisatory set. I was extemely happy they didn't make us wander around the parking lot this year to hear the experimental stuff. Take your favorite moments from the Type II jams over the years and meld them into a long jam and you will have this set.
After the jam, we waited until the lights turned on to be sure they were done playing, and then went home to sleep.

10 things for sage to do on his uk jamboree.
#1 - realise theres much more american stores over here than you thought.
#2 - avoid eating anything you haven't had before or don't recognise.
#3 - enjoy our tropical summer weather.
(A) ask someone what "uk garage" is
(B)listen to some "uk garage".
(C)do what you normally do when you hear some awful music.
#5 - try and avoid big issue vendors.
#6 - get homesick.
#7 - find some "irn- bru" to drink. this magical soft drink outsells coke in scotland and is also strangely very popular in russia. so read in to that what you will. it is bright orange and you really need to try it! and i'm not even joking.
#8 - play a glasgow show. (ask buck 65 how his went as he was here a wee while back. aren't fans so demanding and selfish sometimes?! haha)
#9 - see how shit the bbc really fucking is.
and finally
#10 - have fun.

WALNUT CREEK -- The jackpot $33 million lottery ticket from Wednesday's drawing was sold at a Walnut Creek gas station, but the ticket has yet to be claimed, Lottery officials said.
Lottery spokesman Alex Traverso said the ticket was purchased at Heather Farm Shell Station at 1790 Ygnacio Valley Road in Walnut Creek.
The drawing of the winning jackpot numbers, which happened at 8 p.m. Wednesday, also included four other winning tickets whose values are roughly $17,588 each.
The winning numbers for the $33 million jackpot were 1, 2, 3, 22, 34 and the mega number was 8.
An employee at the gas station refrained from commenting Wednesday night, but did say he had received a call that one of the tickets was sold at the station.
Traverso said the lucky ticketholder will most likely come forward after they check their ticket in the coming days.
Once the individual files their claim paperwork with the Lottery, it will take between six to eight weeks before they are able to take home their winnings.
"The jackpot doesn't get this big very often," he said. "And this is pretty big."

ALAMEDA -- Another great season of live music at Alameda's Main Library will wrap up with a performance by jazz cabaret singer and Bay Area favorite Paula West on Nov. 17.
West follows a September show put on by Kenny Washington and Jonathan Poretz's October performance.
"West is a terrific singer who performs with her own special style," said Ruth Belikove, a co-producer of the shows, which are put on by the Alameda Free Library Foundation as fundraisers. "She's worked hard and come a long way from being a waitress taking singing lessons to reaching the heights of her profession."
West, who performs tunes such as "Fly Me to the Moon" and "Don't Fence Me In," was born and raised in San Diego as the daughter of a Marine and became more familiar with jazz when she moved to the Bay Area in the late 1980s.
For the past several years, she performed with noted pianist and arranger George Mesterhazy, who accompanied the late Shirley Horn. She's also sung with Mesterhazy's quartet in San Francisco and New York and is set to sing in the Big Apple with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra in February 2013.
The audience is in for a treat, Belikove said, because West has a lot of fun on stage.
"She's got such a sense of humor and courts the audience much differently from our other performers," Belikove said.
"She does everything, like appearing at the Algonquin Hotel in New York when it was open, which is like the Met for cabaret singers," Belikove said. "And now she's booked at Lincoln Center."
It took over two years to get her committed to a performance at the Alameda Main Library.
"We are so happy to have her come. It's a coupe for us," she said. "Paula is a very sweet lady. Audiences have been enthusiastic about the first two shows in the series, and the crowd should be so again this time."
Over the past four years, the Live at the Library series of events and a larger show featuring opera singer Frederica von Stade at the Alameda Theater have raised approximately $60,000 for the library.
"You — the community — did it and deserve the applause," Belikove said. "And we're so glad that everyone who comes to the shows enjoys them."
Community sponsors of Live at the Library include Books Inc., Cairdea Design & Marketing, Dewey's Friends Café, Friends of the Alameda Library, Alameda Free Library Foundation, the Alameda Library Board Art Committee, Piedmont Piano and R&B Cellars.
Tickets for the shows, $35 each, have been sold at Dewey's Friends Café in the Main Library, Books Inc. on Park Street and online at www.brownpapertickets.com.
Doors open at 7 p.m., and the concert begins at 8 p.m. Refreshments, including wine, will be available for purchase before the concert.

This week, after reading Scott Carpenter's fun (yet a bit scary) satire 5 ways to save on your monthly software rental bill in the year 2056..., I felt like a fairytale ending. I was after something sort of cool and utopian, where we're all free and enjoying ourselves. But, when I was speculating about what this fairytale would entail, it brought me around to wondering...
What will happen AFTER the year of Linux on the desktop?
I realise this may seem like an odd question. But while there is a lot of speculation as to whether or not FLOSS will make it, have we considered what will happen when it does?
Let me put this another way. Consider the classic good guy vs bad guy scenario. We could pull out the tired cliche of David and Goliath. We could think Cinderella. We could consider Hansel and Gretel. We could, to put a modern slant on it, think about any of the generic cop movies. What are the common similarities here?
Good guy fights nemesis. Nemesis generally has power, control, advantage, and the surrounding population repressed or on side. Good guy has smarts and generally good looks and marriagability. Good guy, perservering through a series of diabolical setbacks (like poking a chicken bone through the bar of your cage, for example. Or having your stepmother lock you in the fireplace. Or being runty when your opponent is a giant. Or encountering corruption in your squad.), finally kicks the bad guy's butt. (Or rubs her face in it by marrying a prince.) And they all live happily ever after.
Or do they? That's always been my main problem with fairy tales and movies that go for two hours only. What happens after? Think about it. Was Cinderella satisfied with her princely catch? What if he was a womaniser, or picked his teeth in public, or was actually a Bluebeard in private? What did Hansel and Gretel DO, when they escaped? I mean, their stepmother tried to kill them! Did they just go home and wear it? The bits of the story that aren't told later are the most interesting... and in the Microsoft and FLOSS story, once FLOSS pushes Microsoft into the uber-oven and runs away, where will FLOSS go from there?
Let's see where the current big guy is at. Oh yes. They are about to release Vista. And can I just say I read a hilarious review of Vista brought to us by our friends at Time Magazine? The article basically goes like this—get Vista, it's super! It's going to be a really good move, upgrading! Why, you ask? Because it looks like a Mac and has security worthy of Linux! AND it hooks up to your Xbox 360! And if you have a pretty new pc, it'll be no extra hardware outlay at all!
WOW! Stop the presses, kids, Microsoft have produced something that they claim is steaming ahead of the competition by BRINGING IT UP TO SPEED with Macs and FLOSS. Nice one, guys. That's SUCH incentive for me to go Vista! Screw the fact that it's proprietary, it should be punished for being lazy!
So this is my warning blog. When we arrive at the year of Linux on the desktop, let's not get lazy, complacent and fat, like some corporate giants I could mention. Even when we're big, we need to keep thinking like the little guys. And we can release FLOSS "Panorama"—because we have our eyes wide open.
I use linux, but linux is not going to make it to the desktop
The only way the pinguin is going to be in a desktop is if someone makes a nice moving penguin screensaver for vista.
The time right was 98-200 wen windows 98.me.200 where really bad.
Today people can survive with Xp Pro so the momentun has gone far far away.
And those MS$ guys have so much money they will prevail.
In the meantime some linux distros are strugling for money and support those MS guys don't know how to spend the big bucks they make with windows....
Don dream with linux on the desktop i have tried myself several times with some friends and customers, most people is lazy they take the easy and known path, the dont want to lear new stuff.
My eleven year old kid is learning powerpoint i tried to teach him impress but the homework instructiones were :
clisck start-programs-ms-office-power-point... the click new, wizard, select "standar-powerpoint presentation" ... etc etc, Hi told me : Dad why you use that if everybody else use microsoft stuff 90 percent don mean anyrhing to you?
What i mean is they don't teach computing or wordprocessors they teach Microsoft or Ms-word stuff....
Linux has its nich but not in the desktop that war is over a long time ago.
Linux uses less computer power... pc manufacturers dont like that they want you to buy new stuff every 2 years.
I don't think it is right, but i have to accept thats the way it is... And my advice to everyone who has hopes in the linux desktop is Relax accept the way the world is, we all want to eliminate poverty from the face of the earth, but my friend thats the way it is!.
it would never happen
I can't wait for the year of the linux desktop; for everyone else. However it came to me about 3-4 years ago.
But my comment is really in the vein of when OSS becomes the "king of the hill" that it will follow the traditions of others and become lazy. I don't expect this to happen, and if it did, it wouldn't happen for long.
That is because of the beauty of open source software. If you don't like where the current branch is going, just fork it. And add what you want to. Granted, it means "bucking up" and "getting you hands dirty" and other things like that. But it removes the problems of someone getting lazy.
Some good examples come to mind, Xorg and xfree86. The latter was lazy, and some one got so fed up that they forked it.
Firefox and Mozilla, the latter again was getting lazy. It wasn't innovating enough, and it was bulky. And someone had the bright idea of seperating the browswer from all the other fluff. And BAM, a new product that is giving a monoply a run for its money... and that wasn't even its original intention (as far as i know, i could be wrong).
So in a way, OSS is even more free than we thought. Its free from laziness if there are people willing to put in the time, implying that people themselves are motivated enough to change things.
Linux made it on the desktop 10 years ago
It made it to hundreds of desktops then, it is completely servicable for most needs, and is now pulling ahead into thousands of new markets around the world. Check your server logs; Linux systems are neck-and-neck with Apple.
How come I never see anybody asking "When will Apple make it to the desktop?" Hey, they were even there FIRST! Come to think of it, Linux is the present incarnation of Unix, and UNIX MADE IT TO THE DESKTOP FIRST, TOO! Before Microsoft was even founded. How come this special argument is made up just to handicap Linux? I never heard anybody ask when OS/2 or Amiga will make it, back in their day...
I would like to see just one person clear up this cloudy, subjective, fuzzy "goal" artifically created just for Linux. Just what is this supposed to mean? And whatever the definition of that goal is, it's completely irrelevant. The concept of free software goes back through Linux to GNU and BSD... open source was here first before anybody thought of trying to make people pay for software. Since Windows hasn't converted me, one could just as reasonably ask, "When will Windows make it on the desktop?"
You've got a point...
Maybe it's because Apple once had the desktop? You know, so now they should be asking "When will Apple get back on the desktop?"
Windows hasn't been ready for the desktop in years, come to think of it.
But seriously, it's true. I've use a lot of different operating systems over the years, so it wasn't really that big of a shift for me to switch to Linux from (as it happens) Windows 3.1. I had used Unix, Macs, TRS-80s, and whatever, so it's not really that big of a deal.
What's kind of funny is that, since Windows got to 3.1 or so, the idea has arisen that using computers is some kind of special skill that not just anybody can do. I've always found that a bit strange. Plenty of "normal people" managed to get by with MS-DOS in its day, after all.
The year has come, it's waiting for people to catch up.
People are lazy marketing sheep. They don't want to learn anything new, even though Windows makes them do that all the time anyway. And they actually believe marketing hype.
As for me, Linux (SuSE in particular) has been my personal, and business desktop for 5+ years now. The only Windows remnants I have left is an XP install on a VMWare Server that I use for testing purposes. I don't miss Windows at all.
In fact when I do use it, I get frusterated at how much it slows me down, and how unproductive it makes me.
I also marvel at how really crappy it is OOB (Out Of Box). I have to spend over an housr after installing XP downloading driver updates, installing applications, and configuring umpteen things for security.
I have a CD full of utilites I install to make it useful, and it still doesn't touch SuSE for completeness and functionality.
Clipboard handling and lack of threading in the UI in Win especially drive me nuts (Quick, try to move that window thats under the dialog box!).
Nope, it's not Linux that isn't ready for the desktop, it's people that aren't ready for modern computing.
The _REAL_, original Tachyon,
Accept no substitutes!
well said
>Nope, it's not Linux that isn't ready for the desktop, it's people that aren't
>ready for modern computing.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
Why does linux have to dominate the desktop to be 'ready'?
>What i mean is they don't teach computing or word processors they teach Microsoft or >Ms-word stuff....
I have to totally agree with this. I teach basic computing at a local state college. All we teach is MS Widows and Office Programs. We don't teach the basics of word processing or spreadsheet, we teach the MS method. It drives me absolutely nuts.
I've always viewd "year of the desktop" under two criteria.
1. Linux works for the majority of tasks.
2. The puclic and computing companies actually accept it as a standard.
And from my view, Linux is there.
1. I can do my word processing, artwork, music editing/playing, downloading, productivity tasks, web editing, and anything else I really want to do on a computer. Software is easy to install and download and stuff 'just works' after install of the base system or a quick trip to the package manager. Add in auto scripts like Automatix and I can get a linux machine into full working order within 2 hours. I can't do that with windows.
2. Linux has hit main stream acceptance. No, not everyone will switch to it but I no longer get stared at for saying I use it. Most computer users know someone who uses Linux. It's considered on par with Mac. Linux has been accepted by both the public and most private firms. Even if those computer firms are not producing for linux...they are taking it seriously.
The year of the desktop has arrived. Rather or not Linux becomes the number one desktop really doesn't matter. No one questions the realitivity of Apple, and linux is just as big as Apple right now. Linux may be a specialty OS for 'geeks and hackers', but people know what it is and that someday it will be an alternative waiting for them.
Vista? I hear it's not as
Vista? I hear it's not as good though. As for FLOSS, I've read a number of good reviews, though I haven't tried it yet. Who knows what will come in the future? I'm betting some new fangdangled softwaqre that will blow our minds away.

Sitting, Slouching and Shrugging At Work
If you're sitting at a laptop right now, it's possible you're sitting in a "Strunch."
If you're reading this on your phone in the middle of a meeting, you may be doing the "Smart Lean."
These are some of the postures that office-furniture maker Steelcase Inc. identified based on a study of how 2,000 workers in 11 countries arrange their bodies while they're using the tools of the modern workplace — from desktop computers and laptops to tablets and smartphones.
Steelcase's researchers found that professionals who use laptops on a desk or table surface often push the computer further away from them as they get tired. Then, they compensate for the strain by propping their chins up with the non-typing hand.
Thus, the Strunch, or 'stretched-out hunch.'
The 'Smart Lean' posture refers to workers who check their smartphones during a meeting, and so lean back and to the side for a little privacy.
Then there's the 'Take-It-In.' This is the opposite of Mom's "sit up straight" advice: Workers recline in their chairs, far back from their monitors, taking advantage of bigger, high-resolutions screens that allow for reading from a distance.
"Tablets and smartphones had moved from being exotic things mostly used in people's personal lives to hardworking tools at the office" said James Ludwig, the company's vice president of global design and engineering.
These devices, along with the mobility they allow for have changed how people carry themselves while completing professional tasks, he said.
The company reviewed snapshots of people at work and conducted multi-day observations of offices and detailed interviews to arrive at its conclusions.
One of those conclusions: Office warriors are in pain. "Chairs, up until now, have been designed to help a body hold a pose for a long period of time, but people are working in more dynamic ways today," Ludwig says. They do focused work for a little while, then answer their mobile phone, then move to collaborative work with the people around them.
Steelcase also found that men and women sit differently. Men are more likely to recline deeply (as in the Take-It-In), while women often prefer the Cocoon, a posture in which workers lean back, pull up their knees or feet under their legs, and draw their tablets or phones close.
The study informed the development of Steelcase's new office chair, the Gesture, which was unveiled today. The Gesture combines a wider seat that accommodates both overweight and more slender workers, a deeper recline in the back rest, and arms that move more fluidly to respond to workers' use of multiple devices and postures.
The Gesture has a suggested retail price of $780 to $880.
