I have to preface this by saying this is less of a show review than a tale of my experience. More than twelve years have passed and not once have I owned a tape of this show.
As a freshman at Johnson State I spent most of the year partying in my dorm. This is because at the very first party I went to, they carded people to weed out us freshman losers. So after that I just never left campus. This was fine and dandy as political correctness hadn't yet taken over alcohol policies on campus, and the sky was the limit. My point is that not having anything else to do in a small town in Vermont forced me to head down to the Base Lodge for each and every show that happened. It was my money going into these shows and I wanted my money's worth from college!
Most of what I saw was a disappointment. I came from the classic rock school of thought. My favorite bands at the time were Yes and Genesis, and no one could touch them as far as I was concerned. This was mainly because they were so different from everything else out there. But I kept an open mind. The 80s were bereft of quality music and I had had about enough of it, but that quickly changed one night at the Slodge. (We called it that as a term of endearment. Also the Moose Lodge, Space Garage the names go on and on.)
Anyway, there was a bit more of a stink made about this one show than the typical night at the Base Lodge. But that wasn't saying much; all it warranted was a slightly larger party than normal. Phish still wasn't that well known , even in Stearns, only thirty-five miles from Burlington. There were a few folks who made trips to Burlington to see them, but those travelers were few and far between. As for myself, it took this visit to my usual hangout to facilitate my first Phish show.
After some typical college pre-show preparations, I went down to the Lodge, which was part of the student center. Strange that they didn't bring in enough of a crowd to play at Dibden (the auditorium) which isn't that big, but much bigger than the Lodge. The room couldn't hold much more than maybe a couple hundred, and on this night there was less than that. I kind of recall it feeling roomy. It didn't even take rubbing elbows to get to where I stood up front. I noticed that there were a few hippie-looking outsiders who had made the trip for the show. This in itself was pretty new to me. JSC had a large Dead following, but I hadn't been part of that so this Philly boy was in a new world.
Once I got in place, I spent most of the night standing literally three inches away from Page's Hammond organ; in fact, I may even have been leaning on it. I watched the Leslie speaker spin round and round the whole time, and thought that was the coolest thing I had ever seen! I thought, "Man, what a cool band to have this neat thing." I was just smiling away and I caught Page laughing at my obvious amazement with the Leslie.
They opened with The Chicken, followed by Funky Bitch, both songs I had never heard before. The performance didn't impress too much upon me, but it was rocking, garage band-type entertainment so I wasn't ready to leave just yet. Next came Sneakin Sally. I was a huge fan of this song at the time and they didn't disappoint me by playing it. That sealed the fact that I wouldn't be wandering back to my dorm room anytime soon. Following this they played Take the A Train. I didn't know jazz from a hole in the ground, but I did understand enough to know that this was not your ordinary band. It was the next tune that changed my life forever.
When I first heard YEM, I knew that it was the end of an era. The lack of originality that marked the 80s had come to a screeching halt. This was the first Phish original I ever heard, and I was dumbfounded! This is the Phish sound. It's what differentiates them from other bands. It was incredibly refreshing to hear something so different. Yes, in progressive rock I had heard things like it, but this was different. And (for me) new. The way it kept intricately building into near noise until it exploded into a tight groove wasn't necessarily new to music, but the way this band did it was new to me. And such a distinct overall sound. Somehow it came from a band that came from the 80s. I sincerely thought I would forever be stuck in the world of classic rock from the 60s and 70s; yet here was a song that obviously was influenced by that music, but so different at the same time.
They had opened up with covers and I thought they were just going to be a cover band with a few originals thrown in for good measure. But song after song of composition and improvisation with sick jamming continually bombarded me. I'll be honest that the only other thing I really recall after twelve years is Lizards. For some reason this song truly struck a chord in me. I left that night singing, "But I'm never ever going back there / and I couldn't if I tried / cause I come from the land of the Lizards / and the Lizards they have died / the Lizards they have died / the Lizards they have died!"
After this, I wanted nothing but Phish in my ears. I knew there was finally hope in the world musically, anyway. I saw them again in two months; if not for lack of a car, the return would have been even sooner. In retrospect, this unsuspecting night at the Lodge changed my life.

Nicole over at Pinch My Salt decided it would be a fun project to see how many people she could get to take on the challenge of making every one of the bread recipes in Peter Reinhart's book, The Bread Baker's Apprentice. Of course I was blissfully unaware of this challenge until Susie decided to tell me about it, and I was immediately intrigued. It only took me about two minutes to make up my mind, join the goup, and then order the book from Barnes and Noble. I waited until yesterday evening to mix up the cornmeal soaker for my Anadama bread and I could hardly sleep last night, the anticipation and excitement building within me. (I know, I know... I need to get a life.)
The recipe was very easy to understand and the only problem I had was that I needed to use quite a bit more flour than the recipe called for. I was really worried that I'd totally screwed it up, but when I checked my dough after an hour's rise, I felt more assured that this recipe did indeed hold promise.

- dam right *****!first of all kaimbanks' review was a total load of BS. it is just a silencer to add weight and length to your gun so u can get an extended barrel for better accuracy. also it has absolutely no silencing capabilities. ... it is all metal with no orange tip so you wont stand out when your sniping in the bushes.
- Its Worth It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!This silencer is the best yet but a little pricy but still the best this is not just for great authentic looks but also gives a way better accurcy for a longer distance for example average range is 150 ft is only accurate for a liitle over a 100 this helps it from 20-50 feet more in a straight on shot if i were u buy it its worth it and alot cheaper at shortys
PS Shorty USA is the best airsoft store/airsoft site you could ever find for the best gear and airsoft weapons u can find
- CoolThis is a very well built barrel extension (I WILL NOT call it a silencer because it DOESNT silence your gun). I really like to add as much weight to my gun because I love the bulky/realistic feel of a heavy gun. it really doesnt do much other than add weight and look cool so thats the reason I gave it a four. Also the price is a bit iffy for an aluminum tube.
- GO SILENCERSLoving it, I'ts on my mp5a5 vector arms echo 1 mp5 and It makes the gun look like a beast. That and a barrel extension is only a bad thing if it's of bad make or wrong size, and this is neither. Awesome.
- It's a mock suppressorFirstly I wonder why people think that these actually do anything to the sound? They don't, it even says in the description that it's a mock suppressor, meaning that it DOES NOT WORK! So in reference to what Korgoth said, don't listen to him, because he has no idea what he's talking about, nor does anyone who says that it makes it quieter. I have not purchased this, but I have seen a couple, and I know they do not do anything to the sound. A lot of sites sell these as barrel extensions, which makes a little bit more sense, at least that way everyone's not trying to say it suppresses the sound.
- great, heavy, realistic, quietthis is one heckuva silencer. i put one on my fully upgraded TM AK and it looks awesome!!! it also has a scope and ris system. it muffles the sound completely, and looks very realistic. it's made of metal, and it's the best silencer out there!
- GRRRRRRR!!!!!im so mad right now i got this at -----------.com for 50.00$ and now shortys has it for 45.00$!!. well now that im done acting like five year old on to the review.
the paint is very nice and its SO heavy yay now my gun will be front heavy lol
and there is some marks on it on the front and the back like a X well it dosnt matter to me. p0p0 out
- LOOKS G-STATUS!!!this is an awesome accessory for my M4. although it doesn't silence the noise, it covers up my barrel extension nicely. another awesome thing about this is the intimidation factor. every game someone always drops the question, is that a silencer? ya i know it doesn't have any effect whatsoever on the performance, but it just looks so sick that it's worth the extra weight. the only problem with this is that I'm not big on paying for logos, and that's the only reason this is $45. trust me, my grandpa works at a metal works factory and i see them punch out things much more complex than this in seconds. but overall it's worth it cuz you look like a BAMF running around with a silencer :)
- it's good for,it's good for a gas bolt action sniper that has a threaded tip, because they tend to make loud noise when fired and this tends to dampen the sound and throw less gas everywhere to some extent, but this is only good for gas sniper that fires the BBS over 480 fps.
- Looks Great But Does it Shoot Straight?Well not on my KWA KM4-TAC. I thought it was the gun. I thought it was the ammo. Then I took the "silencer" off and ahhh, that did it. It may not have a negative effect on any other weapon that's why I'm not trashing it rating-wise but on my particular weapon my groupings were looser and the number of errant rounds increased when I replaced the stock flash suppressor with this "Display Barrel Extension". I also didn't trash it because it does look totally freakin' ninja on the gun ;-) It is very well built (read heavy) and probably perfect on a sniper weapon with a bi-pod but for running around the woods...You may want to leave it at home. Finally as for its "silencing" qualities. It did not seem to reduce the intensity of the sound but it does change the pitch. It's the same principle as a musical instrument. Change the length of the tube and you change the pitch.

Surveys to gauge interest in ballpark
June 11, 2013
PARKERSBURG — A survey is being sent out to businesses throughout the area, in both Ohio and West Virginia, to gauge attitudes and potential support for a new multipurpose ballpark in the Mid-Ohio......
Here's my survey response:
Better uses of time and money: o Bulldoze all abandoned and condemned properties in the city limits o Move that junk/recycling facility OUTSIDE the city limits. WHY in the heck is there a mud-covered recycling/junkyard within city limits??? o Lobby some developers who will buy some of the vacant space within city limits and develop them into NICE restaurants, NICE shopping centers

MOV Reality; You are oh so correct. We hunt for available grant monies and then dream up something to spend it on. Our government is out of control from the Feds down to local level. Let's clean house and start over. It would at least take them some time to learn how to spend frivolously.

Stupid, stupid idea. Look at the size of Charleston and the quality of Appalachian Power Park, then notice the empty seats every game. The WV Power games are a blast, and they're a great value. No way is a Parkersburg team going to be successful, regardless of how much Newell wants to ram it down our throats. Hopefully, they'll see the light after these surveys come in and scrap the entire deal. Then again, Bobby will just find another wasteful pet project to dump money into.

The Oakland Zoo removed a monument enscribed with the Ten Commandments from its property Wednesday. days before a planned weekend protest by a local atheist groups.
Zoo officials said the removal had been scheduled previously and was not related to plans by the East Bay Atheists and Atheists Advocates of San Francisco, which intended to picket the zoo to demand that the monument be removed.
"We had been wanting to do it for a long time," said Joel Parrott, CEO and president of the zoo. He said he began thinking about taking down the monuments when lawsuits over the religious displays on public land began arising in the early 2000s. "Now, it just seemed like it was a proper time."
Protest organizers said they were surprised at the zoo's decision but do not think the zoo's timing was only a coincidence.
"That's totally unprecedented," said Joey Piscitelli, a Martinez resident who has complained to the city previously about the monument. "They wanted to thwart the demonstrations and keep this out of the public eye."
The 6-foot marble sculpture of enscribed stone tablets has been on zoo property since 1965 when the area was a state park, according to Parrott. The monument was not near to any of the main animal exhibits, but close to the Snow Building, a facility overlooking the city that the zoo often rents out to community groups.
Piscitelli, who identified himself as a pagan, said he had rented the building and that his guests were "shocked" to see the religious display. In a letter to the city and Mayor Jean Quan in May, he called the monument "prejudicial" and said it denigrates the views of non-Christian zoo visitors.
Parrott said the zoo rarely received complaints about the monument.
The protest, originally scheduled for Sunday, will not happen. Piscitelli said the groups will be thanking the zoo for their decision instead.

First of all, thanks for a great application. But I have a problem with the OS X version that I never encounter in Windows, which I run virtually using Parallels.
At first everything seems absolutely fine, but after a while I get stuttering and other strange behaviours.
In the "Traces"-window it says; "Out of memory".
Then I can't quit the media server. I have to Force Quit it through the Activity Monitor, and when I look at ongoing processes, the Mencoder is started about 5-10 times and I have to Force Quit every single one of them.
I'm running Leopard on an iMac.
Thank You

EAGLE, Colorado - Firefighters would do what's needed if wildfire hit the wilderness, but what's necessary isn't etched in stone.
"It depends on what's at risk, whether the fire is natural or human caused, where it is and what the conditions are like," said Jon Morrissey, district ranger with the Pike San Isabel National Forest in Leadville, where the 420-acre Treasure Fire is now 100 percent contained.
It all comes down to mechanized and motorized uses in the wilderness, which are banned under the Wilderness Act. But they could use mechanized machines if they had to.
For example, the lift at the top of Beaver Creek is next to the wilderness and might get quicker action than remote areas, Morrissey said.
They could put firefighters in a wilderness fire with hand tools: shovels, pulaskis, axes and those sort of things.
They need permission from up the corporate ladder to crank up bulldozers and chainsaws, though. Engines aren't allowed in wilderness areas, unless someone high up that ladder allows them.
Dave Neely, Eagle-Holy Cross District ranger, pulled his worn copy of the Wilderness Act from his pocket and thumbed to Section 4C. By the look of the book, he's been there before and probably earlier that day.
Section 4C outlines "Prohibition of Certain Uses" - it tells you what you cannot do.
The list is long, yet gloriously vague. You can't open a commercial enterprise of any sort, you can't build roads, land aircraft or lots of other stuff.
But then the Wilderness Act says, "Except when necessary to meet the health and safety of the area and persons in that area."
"It gives you a legislative starting point for making decisions about an area," Neely said.
In other words, they can do what they need to do, but they can't crank up the D9 Caterpillar and take a drive through Bambi Land just because they feel like it.
The Act is a paradox, Neely explained, calling for "excellent opportunities for solitude ... and excellent opportunities for recreation."
The fires around Colorado Springs have surrounded the Cache la Poudre wilderness area.
The Treasure Creek fire is burning near Mosquito Peak outside Leadville, on the west side of the Mosquito Range.
The blaze appears to be human-triggered, Morrissey said. It's being contained at about 320 acres by a crew of 125 firefighters.
At 12,300 feet above sea level, the Treasure Creek fire is the highest wildfire, at least right now. It's burning up to treeline with moss and tundra on another side, so it's not much of a threat to lives and property.
They can use helicopters and planes dropping water and fire retardant, but they can't land in the wilderness, Morrissey said.
A municipal watershed is likely to get quick action and lots of help. Private property in the middle of a wilderness area might get a nod more quickly than a remote wilderness area.
There are the conditions to consider. The National Interagency Fire Center reported 19 active large fires covering nearly 500,000 acres across the country.
"Let's say the fire is human caused and has some blown-down timber areas or a big pocket of beetle kill. That would be handled differently," Morrissey said.
With the fire danger we're seeing across Colorado, everything is being taken seriously, Morrissey said.
Last year if a lightning strike and a couple of trees were burning, they'd let them burn, Morrissey said.
Everything was green and moist, as you might recall. This year is different.
"This year, when fuel is so abundant, we'd approach it differently," Neely said. "My inclination is that we would use the full range of fire-suppression tools at our disposal. Bulldozers? Possibly, if they're necessary. Probably chainsaws."
If a fire is somewhere it could spill out into populated areas, it's treated differently, Neely said.
Decisions must be made, but they're made at the speed of the fire, not at the glacial pace of government.
"It runs up the chain of command pretty quickly," Neely said.
Historically, fires that reach upper-mountain elevations and encounter rocky terrain with little to burn don't creep up and over ridges.
Locally, the Holy Cross and Eagle's Nest wilderness areas are high-elevation rock and alpine terrain. There's not a lot of fuel, Neely said.
"If we got a lightning strike in Fall Creek or Pitkin, we'd probably be more aggressive about it or someplace like East Vail or Red Cliff," Neely said.
"It's why we have professional fire-management staff and wilderness-management personnel."
By the way, wilderness doesn't really need to be managed, but people often do, Neely said.
"That's the idea about wilderness, letting nature do when it does," Neely said.
Four federal agencies deal with public lands: the U.S. Forest Service, the Park Service, the Bureau of Land Management and the Fish and Wildlife Service.
They have slightly different ideas.
"We tend not to use chainsaws in the wilderness," said the Forest Service's Neely. "The Park Service does for things like trail clearing."

News 12 at 6 o'clock, March 16, 2010
AUGUSTA---The city of Augusta is getting ready for what some are calling a media craze as Tiger Woods makes his return to golf at this year's Masters. Security is now taking center stage.
Augusta mayor Deke Copenhaver says he expects the response to be similar to that for the James Brown funeral. Law enforcement already has something in mind.
"We have a plan in place to control traffic," said Lt. Scott Gay. "We have a plan in place to control the pedestrians."
And the city is taking a little extra time to tweak that plan this year. The engineering department says they will wait until March 30 to release their traffic plan this time around. That's just one week before the practice rounds.
Mayor Copenhaver says the city put together a plan for the James Brown funeral in less than a week. He says this big event will be no different.
"My primary concern is public safety," Copenhaver said. "We will have more people in town, more media organizations in town, so I think public safety needs to be the first thing we are thinking about, and traffic, because we are prepared for big crowds, but it's going to take a little extra planning."
"The Augusta National has always treasured its security," Lt. Gay said. "We will continue to support the Augusta National and support the security of the event and the security of each and every player."
Last year we got a glimpse of the traffic plan at least two or three weeks before the tournament.
The city says there are no plans to set aside extra money for extra security at this time.

As waterfowl season creeps closer, preparedness is the key to success. There are decoys to rig, dogs to train and blinds to build, but the one aspect many hunters overlook is scouting. Stay ahead of the game with these scouting techniques and you may find yourself on the "X" on opening day.
So you've found a group of honkers in a harvested wheat field or just watched a group of mallards drop into a slough – now what? The following tips will help you turn a scouting discovery into hunting success.
From August to April, it seems that Ben Fujan is always scouting birds.
Waterfowl from Canada to Missouri and back again are the objects of his obsession, and if this Avery Pro-staffer has learned anything from miles of scouting, it's that finding birds is just the first step in the journey toward a successful hunt.
"Probably one of the first things I want to find out is how this snapshot of activity fits in to their normal routine," says Fujan. "Sometimes the answer is pretty clear; other times you have to keep digging."
When you've spotted either ducks or geese on the water, Fujan says it is very important to identify whether or not you've found a main roost area. If it is a body of water that birds are hitting right at sundown, or you see them leaving right at daybreak, chances are it is best to leave that water alone.
"You really need to be careful of hunting on or even within ¾ mile of a main roost, as you can push birds out of an entire area pretty quick," says Fujan. "But if you've found where birds are spending the night, watch them the next day and follow them to their next stop. Maybe you can catch them at another smaller loafing area or feeding in a field."
Fujan says that ducks in particular will often leave their roost area and hit a small pothole before feeding in a nearby grain field. Spots like this can provide the hunt of a lifetime.
And don't be afraid to pay attention to even the smallest flock in the air.
"One little bunch of mallards can give away the location of a pile of birds, and even small groups can add up," he says. "If you find a small slough with only 75 ducks but then discover that they are coming to it in small groups of five to 10 birds at a time, you've found yourself an ideal hunting situation."

MOJAVE -- Four Oakland teens have been identified as the people killed in a single-vehicle crash on a remote Kern County highway.
Kern County officials told The Bakersfield Californian that Malia Moa, David Moa, Rachel Fisiiahi and George Moa died at the scene after the SUV George Moa was driving smashed into the center divider on Highway 58 east of Mojave Monday afternoon.
Officials say all four victims were 19 years old.
A fifth person suffered critical injuries in the crash. That person's name has not been released.
David Moa had recently begun to train with the Laney College football team, and coach John Beam had seen a bright football future ahead for the teen, who wanted to play tight end.

"He had a real gentle soul," Beam said. "He had a good smile on his face. And he was finding himself."
After students learned of Moa's death Tuesday, they sat down with Beam to share memories of the teen, who was known for his laughter.
David, Malia and George Moa were cousins who were on their way home from watching a rugby tournament with family and friends in Las Vegas when they crashed, Beam said.

Yarn Profile: Jill Draper Makes Stuff Empire
First Impressions
Jill is a knitwear designer and hand-dyer who, true to the name of her company, makes stuff—primarily yarn, which she dyes by hand. Some of her yarn bases are more common and from third-party suppliers, but increasingly she is focusing on sourcing her materials directly from the farm and keeping the full circle of yarn production as local as possible.
Empire is one of her newest creations. It is made from 100% Rambouillet fibers sourced from a small nearby farm in Albany County. The fiber is shipped to a New England mill where it is processed gently and without chemicals, before finally being returned to her for dyeing.
The first thing you'll notice about Empire is its size: Empire comes in a huge, huge skein. Which is why each skein retails for $150. You're getting 1,280 yards (1170m) of yarn, which weighs in at 1.7 pounds and will provide enough material for an entire sweater—provided that sweater is of a certain size. Jill also offers "Mini-Empire" skeins with 213 yards apiece if you want to add a contrasting color to your garment, or if you'd like to knit a larger sweater.
Barring that, you can always divvy up the skein and make, say, ten sets of matching fingerless mitts for all your friends.
Knitting Up
The yarn is composed of four plies that have been twisted together at a medium angle. On the hank and on your needles, it feels extremely round and somewhat firm. Tug on a strand and it will stretch quite comfortably, which makes maintaining tension a breeze.
Empire is such a big skein that you'll have to wind your yarn by hand, or make several skeins on the skein winder—but being sure never to snip the end from one skein to the next so that you maintain color continuity. I found one knot in my skein. But considering that skein had the same amount of yarn as six to eight "normal" yarns, and how many knots they can have, I didn't have a problem with this.
Normally I would've tried cables in such a rounded yarn, but the colors would have overridden any significant stitch patterning beyond knits and purls. I'll admit I was a little afraid that the complexity of my skein's colorway would overwhelm my fabric, but just the opposite. It was a pleasure watching the colors move and shift and react with one-another as they came together in the fabric. I'm eager to knit a larger piece and see the colors on a big scale.
Knitting was swift and easy, my stitches open and even. Gradually I noticed a twist building up in the yarn, so I dropped my swatch periodically to let it release. The yarn is perfectly balanced, but the fibers themselves have so much crimp that I could feel their pent-up energy. I was curious to see what would happen in the wash.
Blocking / Washing
My swatch washed and rinsed fine. I gave it a little more time in the wash because I wanted the warm water to penetrate all the nooks and crannies and relax the fabric a little.
When the swatch finally dried (which took a while) I noticed no change in stitch or row gauge or color saturation. Some of the tension had relaxed, easing the stitches into smoother, plumper formation and showing the beginnings of cohesive fabric.
Finewools are innately more prone to wearability issues simply because the fiber diameter is so small, like fine china is more fragile than everyday stoneware. The yarn's four well-twisted plies add welcome strength.
Friction softened the fabric, and over time a very faint halo began to appear over its surface. With quite a bit more friction, that halo developed tiny, barely visible neps that were well-anchored in the fabric. From 12 inches away or further, I could only see a soft-looking fabric.
If we were to judge yarns by skein appeal alone, this would get a top score. But the yarn itself—the blank canvas of spun fibers—is good at no matter what sized skein, no matter what colors are applied to it.

It was only eight years ago that a new law was passed in Colorado that made it a crime to steal free-distribution newspapers such as the Summit Daily News. Now, the Colorado Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice - which reviews state laws and makes recommendations to the Legislature on their status - has recommended doing away with the law. In essence, the commission is saying it's OK, in one recent example, for a person who doesn't want people to read of his alleged criminal activity to steal every single copy of the Summit Daily from boxes in Breckenridge.
Since the commission has identified it as a "boutique" or unnecessary law, it will go before the state Legislature in 2012, where we will join with the Colorado Press Association and other free-distribution newspapers around the state to vehemently protest its elimination. For starters, members of the commission made it clear they don't differentiate between free "shopper"-style publications and legitimate newspapers distributed at no charge. Had they taken the time to ask almost anyone in Summit County, they might have learned that's where most people get their local news, and that a very high value is assigned to the publication. As a company, we decided long ago that the best way to provide information to our readers is through a free-distribution model, and our readers and advertisers seem to agree this is the best approach in our market. While many paid circulation papers around the state and country are suffering, we've held steady and continue to grow.
Beyond the issue of the obvious injustice and inconvenience of someone stealing all the newspapers from a particular area on a given day is the First Amendment right to free speech. No doubt the commission would view the snipping of a cable line or the destruction of a radio antenna as a "real" crime, but from the perspective of speech, the result is the same. Stealing newspapers to prevent access to information is censorship in its most pure form, and any suggestion that because a single copy of a newspaper is provided free lessens the crime simply ignores the facts on the ground. There is a hard cost for us for each newspaper we print (it's about $1.25), but beyond that is the value of the content within. When papers are stolen, it deprives readers of valuable information in the form of news and advertising, and it deprives our advertisers of the reach to customers they've paid us to provide. How can that be seen as anything other than a true theft, both of information and a material good?
While we appreciate that the Colorado Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice sifts through the statutes and suggest elimination of redundant, outdated or otherwise unnecessary laws, we find it extraordinary that they voted to kill this law without familiarizing themselves more with the circumstances of free-distribution newspapers - and also that they would ignore the fact that it was put into place less than a decade ago for some very good reasons. It's hard to say how much of a deterrent this law really is, but certainly as a newspaper company we would like to be able to assert our right to protect our distribution stream as well as our readers' access to our publication. Removing the law says, quite simply, it's OK to steal, and we're confident the state Legislature will see it that way in 2013 and retain the law.

Liverpool Message Board
Game over after WBA
I think it is fair to say that it is now curtains for our top 4 hopes, only major collapses are going to rekindle any hope of making up the ground. We need Tottenham to lose 4 games and us to remain perfect, that just is not going to happen, even if it did, w would need similar from Arsenal.
It was such a frustrating night, A bit like watching us earlier in the season or even last season. All huff and puff, creating plenty of chances but not the best chances, all pressured, forced efforts with very little free flow. Suarez was absolutely awful in terms of finishing, he is some player, a phenominal talent, but he does need 10 chances to score, that is kinda crazy.
Is it me or is it everytime we get a good player we become heavily reliant on them, as soon as we get another one the burden is passed on? Without Sturridge we looked blunt as anything.
Now I have had my opinion turned by Downings resurgence, I thought he was excellent again last night, but he doesnt score enough goals for me, last night just highlighted that we still need a goal scoring wideman, Sterling might become one, Assaidi probably won't but we need a Nani/Di Maria style player.
Jamie C had a great game again, Dan Agger looked great on the ball and pathetic off it, I have lost count of the amount of times he has lost his man for whatever reason in the box, he got absolutely rinsed by Lukaku when he came on too.
He is one of my favourite players too so I am not trying to scapegoat him. Enrique looks lacking in match sharpness and to be fair, that is probably the only game this season where I thought Johnson had a stinker.
For me, Pepe (the cynics will not remember the worldy from Mulumbu) Carra, Gerrard, Lucas and Downing turned up, the rest were pretty much hopeless. We dominated the game but couldnt convert, it becomes difficult to keep writing the same stuff!
The problem is that the recent form had heightened expectations a bit. I said long ago that 7th or above with an improved points tally would have been a success and I have to stick by that. It is a painful old road but I would rather play like that and lose then play like WBA did last night. I think most of us have heard the manager say a few times that it needs a few windows to get a bit of turnover in playing staff and I tend to agree though lets just hope there are more Sturridges then Borini's!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

Our players just seem to have a lack of fighting spirit.. Even Gerrard who used to win games single handedly and would get the team fired up.. Even he can't motivate them or himself for that matter.
That's what I was trying to say. I actually think that putting him out wide helped a bit. It meant he could focus on staying in position. Centrally he was all over the place.
Don't get me started on his ball control
I think that is a bit insulting to Kuyt! He put a monster shift in and never went missing, he just wasnt actually all that good at football! I see Borini as worse then Ngog, I would happily swap the pair of them now without a second thought!
Hmm I cant argue with that at all. true Downing, Suso, Sterling, Shelvey should all contribute more. I still think that is in part due to the fact that Sturridge wasn't playing. When Sturridge was on the pitch Henderson started to get goals and Gerrard too. maybe there's something in it, enough to convince me anyway.
With regards to Kuyt I don't think his ratio would have changed much if he played centrally to be honest. He used to drive me up the wall when he would be out of position when a cross came in. That was when he did actually play centrally
Hi Noo Noo
I know what you mean but just a big up for Kuyt - his ratio for us was 1 in 4 which, given he played mainly out wide, isn't too shabby.
If Downing or Sterling could match that then we'd be a lot higher up the league.
I'm also convinced of the Sturridge thing. We were all moaning that we couldn't convert chances before he came. When he arrved we started to score a few, one game missing and bang, we're back to where we were. Borini reminds me of Kuyt in some ways. Runs round almost like a headless chicken but simply doesn't have that little thing that makes a striker clinical in front of goal. They may get some but they're not prolific at this level.
Kinda reflecting on a couple of posts in one here. We are definitely toothless without Sturridge, bizarre that this is the scenario already. At times before we bought him, we looked very good and Sterling, Downing, Johnson etc would pop up and nick a goal, that will not get us anywhere long term, you have to have that clinical ability to score when you have spells in control. Sturridge is that man, nobody else in the team is, not Suarez, not Borini. In my harsh opinon, I would cash out on Borini straight away this summer as a failed experiment and go out again for somebody else. I honestly believe we would have hammered WBA had Daniel been fit, they would have had nothing to hold onto or believe in by 80 minutes.
Kenny part 2 was a lovely nostalgic moment in LFC, the ultimate caretaker then a honeymoon period ending second season. We played some great stuff under Kenny and yes, we had the same problem under him that we had monday night. It might not therefore suprise you to realise that every player on the pitch was in fact in Kenny's team too.
I think there is many factors as to why he got sacked, the horrendous return on expenditure, the awful media relations, the Suarez incident, the steady and regressive league form but also quite importantly, letting one of best youth team players leave for peanuts. Also, he was never the man they wanted in the first place.
Winning trophies is great, it buys time, deflecting marginally away from our league position whilst having a great day out but league form is the only thing that matters when you havent won it in 23 years.
Hobs...been saying same since BR brought this clown Borini in....waste of space...the guy is a MISTAKE...he wont make it with anybody. Hes 10 mill MISTAKE write it and him off and move on.I dont know why but thats what 30 million squid this club has blown on two duds from Roma..thinbk they should stay the f+++ away fromthis club !!!

LOL, definitely avoid any italian purchases from now on in, Dossenna was another, at least he had the goals against Madrid and 'them'!
I think maybe we should just loan him out right now, help get his confidence up whether he is sold or comes good. There is no point having him if Jonjo is playing up top in front of him, it is just stupid.
If it's only taken you till last night top realise that there's no hope for a place in the top four you must have in self induced coma for the past 6 months.. 10th place seem about right..

I still think that 7th is achievable, but 7th or 10th ......whatever, at least we're in the top half of the table. Dunno how people are going to live without any European involvement and income next year, but getting back is going to be quite difficult and is going to involve far more serious participation in the Cups than we managed this year. Sorry to say this, but being an old ar@e I'm glad for having "been there" in the mid 60's to the mid 2000's 'cos I fear we shall never pass this way again.

I don't wholesale disagree with you here, but do think you're being a little harsh.
18 shots on the WBA goal, zero on the LFC goal up to the 80th minute. Now stats can tell you what you want to hear of course, but that tells me either we just kept tapping the ball toward Foster's goal, or West Brom put up a heck of a defensive effort. I think the truth maybe somewhere in between.
But end of the day it came down to 3 mistakes, 2 by Agger when he lost his man at the corner, and lost Lukaku for the second, and the fact Stevie did not put away the penalty (but again a little credit to Foster).
4th is gone, but to be honest like many people at the beginning of the season and last week I said it was a long shot. Give credit where its due - WBA for being extremely well organized (thanks Clarkie), and what I'd say was a fine performance by us up to 75th or 80th minute.
But also be critical where it's appropriate. That's not about scapegoating anyone (Agger this week, Riena last week) but for me it's the team mental strength that needs to improve. We concede a goal, or things don't go right we look fragile. It's not about players technical ability, they are good, some very good. It's not about tactics, they work, we create and create, and create again. But it is about confidence, that winning mentality, that belief that no matter what, we can get something out of the game. We've seen it at times this season, but too often when things go wrong, they go very wrong, and that is what we need to work on imo.

Dsteer had we been incisive then the 18 shots on goal would've meant something..
We seem to lack that incisive edge.. It's all well and good to pepper shots on their goal but if not one goes in.. then something is clearly wrong with the players inability to score wouldn't you say?

Currently, many people are looking around and saying, "It seems like there is more snow than there was last year. Why is the snowpack only 76 percent of last year's amount?"
Well, the answer is simple. The snowpack that the state measures and considers "the water supply" is only recorded above 9,000 feet. So, all that low lying-snowpack is awesome, but is not even considered in the measuring. Some of that water will be captured in surface reservoirs and help fill them to capacity. But the majority of the high-country, statewide, is still below average. So, as we head into spring, we need a lot more water.
Fourth-graders - it's Eagle County Poster Contest time again and the theme this year is "Actively Green for water conservation." This 24th annual event coincides with Earth Day. The Conservation District Board will be supporting this great contest by supporting the winners. Presentations and awards will be given by the county commissioners to the winners sometime after Earth Day on April 27.
We here at the Soil and Water Conservation District recently handed out our first scholarship. It was awarded to graduating high school student Taylor Hammer of Burns. We are still looking for applicants for two more scholarships. One is for students in the "continuing education" area and another for a graduating high school student. Applications and more information are available on the ECCD website, www.eaglecountycd.org.
Also, we will be awarding five scholarships to Walking Mountain Science School for kids who want to go to summer science camp. We will be looking for short essays from prospective scholarship recipients as to why they want to go to summer science camp. For additional details, please call ECCD Board member Scott Schlosser at 970-390-9223. Scholarships will be awarded to different camps encompassing different ages.
The BLM is the Soil and Water District to ask ranchers for help gauging rain and reporting their data from across the Western Slope, especially Eagle/Garfield County. For more information, check out www.cocorhs.com which is community collaborative rain hail and snow network.
Chemical sales at the county chemical shed are kicking in and the weeds and grass is growing! To purchase your herbicide, call Katie at 970-390-1983.
Our next meeting is April 10 and we are still looking for interested individuals to serve on the district board.
