Saturday, Jan. 7 • 1 p.m. CST
Burton Coliseum (8,000) • Lake Charles, La.
CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi women's basketball team will tip-off the New Year at McNeese State on Saturday, Jan. 7 to begin Southland Conference play. The Islanders open the conference with a 4-9 record and sit at 2-4 on the road.
The Islanders wrapped the non-conference portion of the season at Indiana on Tuesday, Dec. 27 after a nine-day break for the holiday season. Senior Myeisha Myles and sophomore Marquesha Anderson-Sparks paced the team with double-digit scoring efforts but the Islanders couldn't overcome Indiana's second-half shooting, falling 80-58.
The Islanders are 4-1 all-time in conference openers with two of the wins coming against McNeese State. Last season the Islanders finished last in the Southland finishing 0-16.
McNeese State is second in the Southland with a 10-4 record and will continue a four-game homestand after hosting Wiley College on Tuesday. The Cowboys sit at 5-1 at home. Last season, McNeese State won the conference regular season title with a 15-1 record, while clinching the conference tournament and advancing to the NCAA tournament.
Saturday's game will mark the sixth meeting between the two schools.
• Myeisha Myles is leading the team with an average of 11.2 points per game, 7.3 rebounds a game and has a total of 14 blocks this season. She has seven double-digit scoring games this season and two double-doubles.
• Verne'qua Taylor is leading the conference with an average of 4.3 assists a game with a total of 56 assists in 13 games and leads the team with an average of 31.1 minutes a game. She has dished out four or more assists in seven of the Islanders' 13 games and in four of those games she has tallied six or more assists.
• The Islanders are 4-1 in conference openers with two of the wins coming against McNeese State.
After a nine-break for the holidays, the Islanders returned to action against Big Ten foe Indiana in Bloomington, Ind. Senior Myeisha Myles and sophomore Marquesha Anderson-Sparks paced the Islanders with double-digit scoring efforts but the Islanders couldn't overcome Indiana University's second-half shooting, falling 80-58, Tuesday night at Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Ind. Myles powered the Islanders with her seventh double-digit scoring game with 19 points and grabbed five boards. Anderson-Sparks scored her fifth double-digit scoring game with 11 points in her fourth start of the season and pulled down a season-high seven rebounds. Junior Jessica Jammer chipped in nine points and five rebounds and junior Verne'qua Taylor dished out seven assists.
McNeese State heads into Saturday's game with a 10-4 overall record and sits at 5-1 at home. The Cowboys continue their four-game homestand while hosting three out of the four to conference opponents.
The Cowboys are coming off a 2010-11 season that saw them tie for the best turnaround from the previous season. McNeese State topped Central Arkansas in the conference tournament last season and advanced to the NCAA tournament for the first time in school history, falling to eventual champion Texas A&M. McNeese State only dropped one conference game last season, dropping a 74-73 loss to Central Arkansas on the road.
This season, the Cowboys have lost three of their four games on the road, falling to UCLA in the Preseason WNIT, Baylor and Texas A&M. Their only lost at home came against LSU. The Cowboys snapped a two-game losing Tuesday against Wiley College, cruising to 82-54, win to finish their non-conference schedule.
On the season, McNeese State averages 67.9 points, shoots .381 from the floor (323-of-847), .350 percent (100-of-286) from three-point range and .701 (204-of-291) from the line. Individually, the Cowboys are led by Caitlyn Baggett with 14.6 points per game and leads the team with 58 assists. Ashlyn Baggett is second on the team in points with 14.1 points per game while Kendra Wells leads the Cowboys with 8.1 rebounds per game.
Saturday's game will mark the sixth meeting between the two schools with the Islanders holding a 3-2 advantage. The last time the two teams met up was at home on Jan. 8, 2011. The Islanders dropped a 76-51 decision at the American Bank Center. Jessica Jammer, Imani Dunn, Brandi Huff, Zoe Vega-Vega and Taryn Gregory all saw action with Vega-Vega and Gregory leading the returners with five points. Gregory also tallied three assists and one steal in 24 minutes of play.
The Islanders last win against McNeese State came on Feb. 20, 2010 at home. The Islanders garnered a 10-point victory, 72-62, and went on to finish with a 24-11 record. Myeisha Myles registered 12 points and two steals in 18 minutes and Dunn and Jammer added four and five points, respectively.
This season the Islanders have depth on their roster, something they have lacked in the past. This season, the Islanders bench has outscored their opponents' bench 291-263. Freshman Trish Amboree leads the bench with 7.2 points per game and sophomore Marquesha Anderson-Sparks is second with 6.8 points per game.
The Islanders are outrebounding their opponents 593-578 with an average of 45.6 rebounds per game. Myeisha Myles is leading the team on the glass with 7.3 rebounds per game. Jessica Jammer is second with 6.9 rebounds per game while Damequia Montgomery is third with 6.2. The Islanders have been a force on the defensive end, tallying 383 rebounds to their opponent's 362. Jammer and Myles have combined for a total of 118 defensive rebounds.
Saturday's game will mark the third time the Islanders have opened the conference against the Cowboys with the Islanders other two openers coming against the Central Arkansas Sugar Bears. The Islanders are 2-1 against the Cowboys and 2-0 against the Sugar Bears in conference openers.
The Islanders finished 2-4 in the month of December and 2-5 in November this season. Since its first season of basketball in 1999-2000 the Islanders are 49-40 in the month of January.
Head coach Robert Robinson is within two games of reaching the 70-win mark. Robinson currently sits at 68 wins in his six years as head coach at the Island University.
Senior Myeisha Myles has stepped up for the Islanders as of late. She posted a balanced attack for the Islanders against SMU and Indiana. Myles registered her sixth double-digit scoring game with 17 points and six rebounds while adding two assists and two steals in 30 minutes of play against SMU. She also made 3-of-6 from behind the charity stripe. Against the Hoosiers, Myles powered the Islanders with her seventh double-digit scoring game of the season with a team-high 19 points and grabbed five boards, while also adding three blocks and two steals in 25 minutes of play.
This season, Myles has registered two double-doubles and leads the team in scoring with 11.2 points per game and in rebounds with 7.3 rebounds per game. Myles is second on the team with an average of 27.2 minutes per game. She currently leads the conference with a .551 (59-107) field goal percentage.
Verne'qua "Nene" Taylor leads the team at the point guard position and has no problem sharing the ball. The junior is currently leading the conference with an average of 4.3 assists a game with a total of 56 assists in 13 games in a team-high 31.1 minutes per game.
Against SMU, the Wharton, Texas native, posted a season-high 13 points on 6-of-9 shooting and dished out eight assists while jumpstarting the Islanders scoring in the second half. At Indiana, the junior passed out seven assists, while tallying four points and five rebounds in 33 minutes.
She is averaging 6.5 points per game, 4.4 rebounds and is second on the team in steals with 15.
The Islanders were picked to finish last in the Southland West Division after finishing last in the conference last season.
The Islanders will return home to host UTSA on Wednesday, Jan. 11 at the American Bank Center. Tip-off is slated for 7 p.m.

Host Power-On Failed: System Power OK, Open Boot not responding
By Saiful Aziz on Aug 18, 2011
I faced this issue while troubleshooting disk issue on Sun Fire V440.
The disk has intermittently undetected from host, tried to upgrade the OBP firmware from 4.13 to 4.30, found the amber light with below error messages:
"Host Power-On Failed: System Power OK, Open Boot not responding"--------------

SANTA CLARA — Colin Kaepernick had a simple explanation for what made Michael Crabtree his favorite 49ers receiver last season: "He got open." Not so simple is figuring out how the 49ers will replace Crabtree for at least the first couple months this season.
Crabtree underwent surgery Wednesday at Stanford University to repair his right Achilles tendon, which he tore Tuesday while running a route on Day 1 of organized team activities.
"Obviously he's a great player and has done a lot for this team," Kaepernick said. "We just need to have someone step up."
The 49ers acquired proven veteran Anquan Boldin in a March trade with the Baltimore Ravens, but aside from him, the receiving corps is filled with question marks.
"We have a lot of talent out here, a lot of great players," Kaepernick said. "It's just: 'Who's going to step up and fill that role?'"
Potential starter Mario Manningham is recovering from a knee injury, having torn his anterior cruciate ligament Dec. 23. Kyle Williams is further along in his recovery from an ACL tear sustained on Nov. 25.
Younger options include A.J. Jenkins (2012 first-round draft pick), Marlon Moore (free agent from Miami Dolphins) Ricardo Lockette (2012 practice squad, Kaepernick's roommate), Chad Hall (2012 practice squad), Joe Hastings (2011 practice squad), Quinton Patton (2013 fourth-round pick) and Chuck Jacobs (undrafted rookie).
"The job we're competing for just happens to be one of the most important jobs on this team, and that's replacing the best receiver we had on the team," Lockette said. "We're not taking this lightly. Hopefully we can replace Crab and hold it down until he gets back."
Jenkins and Lockette spent mid-February through mid-April training with Kaepernick in Atlanta. Hall also worked out with them in Atlanta, and he doubled as a punt returner during Wednesday's practice.
"They're great players and they've been working hard," Kaepernick said of the duo.
Lockette said that training has been extremely beneficial, as has Kaepernick's off-field teachings about the 49ers' schemes.
Linebacker Patrick Willis was on the field when Crabtree went down after what Willis called a "simple, normal cut" during a 7-on-7 drill.
"Crab is one of those tough guys. He can get hard and he'll bounce right back up," Willis said. "Yesterday he stayed down a little longer than normal. You say a little prayer and hope it wasn't as bad as it looked. Unfortunately it is.
"At the same time, it's an opportunity for someone to step up and fill those shoes. Those are huge shoes to fill, but I know Crab is going to work hard to get back as soon as possible." Asked if he would like the 49ers to re-sign free agent Randy Moss, Kaepernick replied: "It's not my decision."
Kaepernick's focus instead is on improving his passing accuracy, knowledge of the playbook and, in an ever-more obvious need, "getting more comfortable with my receivers."

Last night, I spent about 3 hours finally gaining "root" for my Motorola Backflip (starting from midnight...). As far as I am concerned, last night my Backflip wasn't actually mine. Now, it is. I can finally run programs that require root access, and -- more importantly -- do tethering.
It's ironical that many people banged their heads against the wall for months, trying to root their Backflip, and the solution was right there... You could root your Backflip using the same exploit used for the Droid 2! The "nearly" is what cost me time: there are a couple of differences that make it much harder.
This is a set of instructions just for the Backflip.
Step 1: Install a terminal on your Android
Go to the Google Market, and install a terminal emulator. Google's is perfect. Type "Android Terminal Emulator" in your search: the program is called "Terminal Emulator".
PASS TEST: You can run "Terminal Emulator" in your phone
Step 2: Enable "USB Debug mode" on your phone and plug it in.
This should be pretty basic. But! Make sure you don't mount the SD card -- just "charge only".
PASS TEST: You have the phone connected, but your computer has not mounted the file system
Step 3: Install Android's SDK
This sounds scary, but it's not: Download Android's SDK
Just uncompress it somewhere in your computer. The goal is to make sure that it you can run the program called "adb" which is normally in "tools". If you are in GNU/Linux, you will type something like
./adb. In Windows, you will simply run
You also need to test that the connection to your phone is up. Make sure it's connected as "recharge only", and run
adb devices. You should see your device listed. Hint: you will need to be "root" for this, if you are using GNU/Linux.
PASS TEST: you need to be able to run the program called "adb" from your terminal, and see your phone listed in
adb devices.
Step 4: Download the software you need
First of all, you need a static version of "su" and a working version of "Superuser.apk". They need to work for your Android. This is where the instructions for the Droid 2 will fail you... This is a SuperUser kit that will work for the Backflip. Make sure you download the one for Cupcake which is
su-126.96.36.199-cd-signed.zip . Then, copy the two filessu
in the same directory as theadb` file.
Then, you need the magic:
rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin. It looks like it got removed from the forums. I suspect this could possibly be because it's illegal to host it. However, you will have no problems at all finding it.
PASS TEST: you have
Superuser.apk and
rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin.gz in the the
tools directory of the SDK, which is same directory as the
adb file
STEP 5: Make a simple script
Using a text editor, make a file called "g.sh" in the
tools directory of your SDK. It needs to contain the following:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system cat /sdcard/su > /system/xbin/su chown root.root /system/xbin/su chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su cat /sdcard/Superuser.apk > /system/app/Superuser.apk chown root.root /system/app/Superuser.apk chmod 644 /system/app/Superuser.apk mount -o ro,remount /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
PASS TEST: you have a file called
g.sh in
Step 6: dump the right stuff on your phone
Go in the
tools directory in your computer, and run the following commands:
adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
adb push su /sdcard/su
adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
adb push /home/amin/Desktop/g.sh /data/local/tmp/g.sh
PASS TEST: the commands run without any problems
Step 7: Make the "pushed" files executable
Run the following commands:
- adb shell
- cd data/local/tmp
- chmod 0755 rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
Step 8: Become root in your shell!
Run the "terminal emulator" program in your phone. Then type this with your device's keyboard:
Then you absolutely need to wait for
[+] Forked #### childs..
Then type
exit and press enter: this will close the terminal.
Run the terminal again. For some reason, the first time I do this, it force closes. Do it again: you are root! You will see a
# instead of a
Note: this is the other part that failed, compared to the "standard" Droid 2 exploit; with the Droid 2, you were able to do this from the shell. However, with the Backflip, it won't work: you need to do this from the phone's own terminal.
PASS TEST: You see a
# there.
Step 9: Make your root permanent!
This is the very last step. You are basically done. From your device terminal (which, remember, has a #) type:
cd /data/local/tmp
sh g.sh
And it's done!
exit, press enter, and get ready to party.
PASS TEST: You get no output.
Step 10: Last tests
Now, reboot your device. Then go to programs, and click on "Superuser". You should see something that is not a blank screen.
Then run the Terminal Emulator. Type
su and enter. You should get a nice Window: it's the Superuser application asking for confirmation that you want to allow the Terminal to become "root". Say "yes". And there you go! The
$ will become a
#, which means that everything works.
PASS TEST: You end up with a
# at the end.
Step 11: Do Tethering!
You can't install the "normal" "Wireless Tethering" application for Android, since the kernel that comes with the Backflip doesn't have Netfilter. When I discovered this, at 3:00AM last night, I was a little upset. However, I soon discovered that you can install an application called "Barnacle Wifi tether" which is free software, and allows you to do tethering without netfilter. How? I have no idea. But, it works.
Note that you absolutely have to check the box "skip wpa_supplicant" in the program configuration for it to actually work.
PASS TEST: You browse the internet with wireless tethering with your Backflip. You do!
Step 12: Install your loader
I haven't completed this step myself... However, there is A post with the restore loader, and a link to custom ROMs. Following the instructions here, you should be able to install your own boot loader and therefore be free to install any ROM you like.
Note: the Backflip hasn't had root for very long. Plus, it's a pretty old device. So, there isn't such a big demand for ROMs. This is the only one available today
If I made mistake, please let me know! I will fix this tutorial ASAP.
I didn't do anything... at all. I know very little about Android. I simply re-packaged existing information. I doubt people will even find this article, which is very much "out of character" for Free Software Magazine.
However, after spending many hours doing it, discovering that you needed to make critical changes to the normally published exploit, and after managing, I feel compelled to explain what I did.
Because the Backflip should be your phone.
step 9
my error is
mount: No such file or directory
: read-only file system /system/xbin/su
: No such file or directoryn/su
: No such file or directoryn/su
: read-only filesystem /system/app/Superuser.apk
: No such file or directory/Superuser.apk
: No such file or directory/Superuser.apk
What did i do wrong?
Defective script at step 9?
Thank for the guide, the first one among tens found that works further than second step.
Everything went fine for steps 1 through 8.
In fact, I had to correct this command line at step 6:
adb push /home/amin/Desktop/g.sh /data/local/tmp/g.sh
adb push Desktop/g.sh /data/local/tmp/g.sh
because the directory did not exist.
At step 9, "Make your root permanent", the script generate these errors:
mount: no such file or directory
:read-only file systemstem/xbin/su
:no such file or directoryn/su
:no such file or directoryn/su
:read-only file systemstem/app/Superuser.apk
:No such file or directory/Superuser.apk
:No such file or directory/Superuser.apk
Excellent guide and worked like a charm!
Originally had the same problems as previous comments, however entering each line on the terminal individually worked, so I think it may have been an issue with creating g.sh on the host side.
Regardless, the su and Superuser.apk that you link in this guide are exactly what the doctor ordered for the backflip.
Thanks again!
Step 9
Everything was working perfectly fine until I got to step 9 where it gives me the same error mentioned on the first 2 posts, when I tried to manually enter the lines as regnadkcin mentioned, I can't enter the > symbol so I can't continue, can you please help me pass this step?

Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the world
Sweet the rains new fall, sunlit from Heaven
Like the first dewfall on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where His feet pass
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day
Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the world
As Mommy looked at your beautiful pictures this morning, this is what popped into her head and she wanted to share it with you.

NEW YORK -- They can hit. They can catch. They can pitch. And, yes, they can win, as the A's did for the fifth consecutive game Wednesday, rallying to upend the Yankees in the Bronx 7-4.
The A's may not be the world's most complete team. But they'll do until somebody comes along who can do it better.
The one thing the A's haven't had to do much this year is to come back from a big deficit. Wednesday saw Jesse Chavez give up four runs in the third, but he came back to throw three more innings without allowing a run, creating space so the offense could rally.
"With these hitters,'' Chavez said, "you know that it's mostly just a matter of time."
It was the first comeback from four runs down for the A's this season.
"That's an attribute a good team has,'' manager Bob Melvin said. "You get down in this ballpark early, and you haven't gotten too many good swings, but they know how to pass the baton.''
Oakland hit three more homers, which is impressive because the A's have homered in a dozen consecutive games, a total of 22 bombs in all. Yoenis Cespedes hit two in helping the A's rally from a 4-0 deficit and Josh Donaldson hit one that broke a 4-all tie and gave the A's a lead they never lost in the seventh.
Both men are proving to be built for the big stage. After the fourth multiple-homer game of his career, Cespedes said he likes playing when he knows everyone's watching.
"When it's a full house and it's sold out, I like to play like that,'' Cespedes said through interpreter Ariel Prieto. He hit a solo homer off starter Vidal Nuno in the fourth just moments after Chavez gave up his four-spot. Cespedes then homered again in the sixth, this one off reliever Matt Daley, to get the A's close, down 4-3.
Equally impressive, though, were warning track sacrifice flies from Jed Lowrie in the fifth and Alberto Callaspo in the sixth that sandwiched Cespedes' second homer. Both were only a few feet from clearing the wall, but each produced a run that helped the A's catch up. And both came after long at-bats that were wearing on the Yankees, seven pitches for Lowrie, nine for Callaspo.
Then Donaldson stepped in against Yankees rookie Jose Ramirez, whose major league debut was ruined by the A's third baseman delivering his 16th homer to snap the tie.
"Having a big stage like (Yankee Stadium) makes it a little easier to come here, not that it's hard to come here,'' Donaldson said. "But you never have to fight to get adrenaline when you play here.''
And once the A's had the lead, relievers Dan Otero and Sean Doolittle beat back any attempt at a Yankee comeback. Otero pitched out of a two-out jam in the seventh, then threw a quiet eighth before Doolittle made quick work of the Yankees in the ninth.
"I think we all do (like the big stage),'' Doolittle said. "We play like we've got something to prove, like we've got a chip on our shoulders. We're not a team that gets a ton of national attention. So when we get a chance to play the Yankees, we come out and answer the call.''
Truth be told, it seems the A's answer the call against just about everybody else, too. With the exception of getting swept in Toronto on May 23-25, Oakland has been on a roll, winning six of its past seven three-game series and splitting a four-game set with the Tigers. The end result is a 37-22 record that has the A's 15 games over .500 for the first time this year and owning the best record in the American League.


text: I would like to document, for my sake and possibly others if you are so amused, my thoughts and journey through the reading of Malazan. To look back at my own thoughts books later, and get some guidance as well if necessary. Just started Gardens of the Moon. I'm only one Chapter 2. =) Laseen, the current Empress was called Surly before. She conspired to take the throne? By force while the Emperor was gone? They haven't really said how she is now Empress. This girl, "Sorry", or did they ever actually say her name? Fish girl. Rigga some weird witch/sorceress seemed to create some bond with her, and when she died she became part of her. Then that Sorcerer who summoned ?demon hounds? to destroy an army regiment, took over the girls body, who was also the old lady? I'm pretty sure this girl is going to be pretty damn powerful once things are said and done. What exactly is "The Claws". Is that just like an expert fighting group? Or do they have some special powers? Do I get a better explanation later? I'll post more later..(though the world is supposed to end tomorrow, let's hope not cause I want to read this series!)

I saw the most fascinating thing on PBS the other day.
Hold on. Does that make me sound pretentious? Because though my nearest and dearest do refer to me as their "fancy friend," I don't think they'd call me pretentious. At least, I hope not - although one of them did say last week that going with me to a restaurant is like seeing a movie with a film critic. Wasn't sure exactly how to take that.
I've recently rediscovered this often-skipped channel on my TV. With my new love affair with "Downton Abbey" (Can you believe how they ended the season?) and the anticipation of the upcoming "Mr. Selfridge" with Jeremy Piven, it has become a stop on my on-screen guide when scanning for something decent to watch.
PBS was a regular stop on the TV dial growing up.
Maybe it had something to do with the fact that through most of my childhood we only had six channels to choose from - but, regardless, PBS was on frequently.
I was a first-generation "Sesame Street" viewer back in the pre-Elmo days, when Mr. Hooper was behind the counter of Hooper's Store and Mr. Snuffleupagus was still a figment of Big Bird's imagination. The Count and Cookie Monster were my favorites, though Bert and Ernie were close behind. I wasn't sure what to make of Elmo when I started watching with my boys, but since they both where completely enamored with him, I jumped on the Elmo bandwagon.
My sister and I watched "The Electric Company." Looking back now, that show was filled with stars: Bill Cosby, Rita Moreno, Morgan Freeman, Mel Brooks and Victor Borge, doing his phonetic punctuation. Even my boys got a kick out of that when my mom shared a video of this with them.
I remember being somewhat obsessed with "Zoom." I so wanted to wear a striped rugby shirt and be on that show! "Come on and zoom zoom zooma zoom!" I had the "Do a Zoom Do" book that showed me all sorts in cool things to learn and do. I think that's where I learned the alphabet in sign language.
We watched "Captain Kangaroo" and "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood," though they were not my favorites. Even then, I talked too fast to listen to their slow cadence. And honestly, I found the puppets kind of unnerving. They really creeped me out.
When our shows were over, the channel gave way to our parents' viewing choices. "The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour" was our regular dinner backdrop. You'd think I would have been a little more clued into the world around me with that show informing every night. Clearly, I was not fully tuned in.
I have a vague recollection of my mom watching Julia Child on "The French Chef," but nothing made me leave a room faster than hearing the "Masterpiece Theater" theme song. Maybe that was part of my parents' master plan: drive the children away from the TV, forcing them to find something else to do, like read a book. "Evening at Pops" elicited a similar reaction.
"This Old House" was a Sunday staple, even through the tumultuous departure of Bob Vila. I loved watching as, week by week, a house was transformed. There were always surprises that had to be creatively fixed by Norm Abram and Tommy Silva. This was my introduction to the native tongue of the Bostonian. I think I could sufficiently tell someone how to shore up a sagging wall as long as I adopt the proper accent.
My parents are huge fans of British comedies such as "Fawlty Towers" and "Blackadder." To this day, they still host Fawlty festivals with their friends, having dinner and watching episodes of the show on videotape. I hope by now they've upgraded to DVDs. If not, note to self: Christmas present idea!
So, I hope my rekindled affection for PBS doesn't put anyone off. I really don't think it makes me a snob, particularly if you balance it out with some of my other viewing habits, such as E! Entertainment News and "Dancing With the Stars."
Just think of it as an old friend I've become reacquainted with and remembered how much I enjoyed. Good times.

Internet provider Ashland Fiber Network will be offline overnight beginning Monday, Jan. 28, so city of Ashland staff can increase the bandwidth and make other upgrades.
AFN will go down at 11:55 p.m. Monday and is expected to be back online by 8 a.m. Tuesday at the latest, according to a news release.
In addition to increasing AFN's bandwidth, crews will upgrade equipment, reconfigure the network, and reload new configuration files to AFN customers' cable modems.
AFN customers who experience connectivity issues after 8 a.m. Tuesday should manually reboot by unplugging the cable modem, waiting 60 seconds and then plugging the modem back in.
This will automatically download the new configuration file, and connectivity should be restored within five minutes of rebooting, the release said.
"There is never an ideal time to schedule upgrades to the AFN system," IT Manager Mike Ainsworth said in the release. "AFN customers are online at all hours of the day, but we had to pick a date and time and selected late night on a Monday hoping it would have the least impact on our customers."
For more information, call 541-552-2222 or visit www.ashlandfiber.net.

Through a matching grant, multiple Rotary organizations collectively worked together to purchase 2,107 turkeys for 12,000 hungry people this holiday season.
Following their motto of "Service Above Self," Rotarians of District 7530, which represents 31 clubs in central West Virginia, recently donated $25,000 to the Walmart in Buckhannon for the turkeys. The organization then donated the turkeys to the Mountaineer Food Bank.
The Food Bank will begin distributing the turkeys in the next few days to feeding programs in 21 communities in central West Virginia, providing a hot holiday meal for an estimated 10,00012,000 people.

Officials from Rotary, Walmart and Mountaineer Foodbank gathered in the parking lot of the Walmart in Buckhannon Tuesday with the 2,107 turkeys that will help feed those in need this holiday season. From left, Kay Hurst, a Rotarian in the making; Chad McIntyre, Walmart manager; Jody Light, district Rotary foundation chair; Chad Morrison, food resource coordinator; Greg Smith, Rotary District 7530 governor; and Rotarian John Clise stand with the turkeys and two checks for $25,000. One check was presented to Walmart for the purchase of the turkeys, and the other was presented to Guttman Oil for the purchase of fuel.
The purchase was made possible through the Rotary Foundation's Matching Grant Program with funds generated from individual Rotary members' contributions in District 7530 matched with funds from Rotarians in District 3020 and 3140 in India and District 7000 in Puerto Rico. Those funds were then matched 100 percent by the Rotary Foundation - for a total project cost and donation to the Mountaineer Food Bank of $50,000.
"That's the backbone of Rotary," District Foundation Chair and Buckhannon Rotarian Jody Light said, adding that it has been a district goal of all 31 clubs to support local food banks. "It was a tremendous match and a great partnership."
The remaining $25,000 went to Guttman Oil for the purchase of fuel for the Food Bank's daily pick-up and deliveries throughout most of the state. Last year, a $40,000 matching grant provided similar assistance to the Mountaineer Food Bank, which serves programs in 48 of West Virginia's 55 counties.
Light expressed sincere gratitude to area Rotarians for their generous contributions, adding that "although many matching grants provide funding for projects in other countries, it's a blessing to have the support of districts in India and Puerto Rico making this grant possible."
Light became friends with fellow Rotary officers in Puerto Rico, later making initial contacts in India during her first visit there in 2010 with fellow Rotarians immunizing children against polio.
Upon her return home, Light began working with clubs in India on projects, including pediatric heart surgeries for terminal children, cataract surgeries, and water and sanitation projects. She then asked if they would be willing to reciprocate with grant funds to feed needy families in West Virginia last year. Light hopes these partnerships will continue to provide much needed assistance to those abroad as well as right here in central West Virginia.
District 7530 Governor Greg Smith of Parkersburg and Mountaineer Food Bank Coordinator Chad Morrison traveled to Buckhannon to join local Rotarians in the special check presentation and turkey purchase. The 15 pallets of turkeys were immediately loaded into Mountaineer Food Bank trucks to be sorted and redistributed in the coming days.
Light thanked Buckhannon Walmart's store manager, Chad McIntyre, for providing the best price possible and preordering and storing the turkeys in a special freezer trailer, and MFB's Chad Morrison for the extra effort in coordinating the special deliveries to area food banks. Rotarians in areas receiving turkeys will be assisting with the actual distribution to families in their communities.

The experts urge you to get the flu vaccine. but you may not know there are several different types of vaccine available.
Options include:
- The regular seasonal vaccine, which is most common.
- The quadrivalent vaccine protects against an extra strain of flu.
- A cell-based vaccine called Flucelvax is available for those with egg allergies
- A high dose vaccine is available for adults older than 65.
- A flu mist spray for those with an aversion to needles
"There's really not a blanket recommendation of one vaccine over another," says pharmacist Anne Geidel. "Just being vaccinated is the most important."
Be aware though not all insurance plans cover all the vaccines available. It's a good idea to call your provider ahead of time. Find out which type of vaccine is covered by your plan.
Some insurance providers may also require certain vaccines only be given by at a doctor's office.

National Jewish Health held its two-day Golf Classic on Aug. 4 in Denver with a private dinner at Shanahan's, followed by a beautiful day of golf Aug. 5 at The Sanctuary in Sedalia, Colo. The event, presented by RE/MAX LLC and sponsored by Shanahan's, raised $170,000 for Morgridge Academy, a free school for 90 chronically ill children located on the National Jewish Health campus.
The much-anticipated annual tournament in its 12th year offered guests delicious food from Denver's premier steak and seafood restaurant and the challenging and stunning landscape of one of the most exclusive golf courses in the world. A silent auction at the event raised $10,000.
Par Foursome Sponsors were the Dodge Family, Greiner Electric, Lockton Inc., the Tornberg Family, Trautman & Shreve Inc. and Turner Construction. The Tournament Supporter Sponsors were ICON Venue Group, ISEC, Interface Communication Co., Lewan & Associates, Chris Malinky, SimplexGrinnell LP, T-Mobile, RK Mechanical, Mortenson Construction, United Airlines, Robin Chotin, David Engleberg and Eddie Robinson, and A. Barry Hirschfeld and Rich Schierburg. The Hole in One Sponsor was Kuni Lexus; the Birdie Sponsor was Cator Ruma & Associates Co. and SCI; and the Golf Ball Sponsor was GE Johnson Construction Company.
National Jewish Health is known worldwide for its treatment of patients with respiratory, cardiac, immune and related disorders, and for groundbreaking medical research. Founded in 1899 as a nonprofit hospital, National Jewish Health remains the only facility in the world dedicated exclusively to these disorders.
Morgridge Academy for Chronically Ill Children (formerly Kunsberg School) at National Jewish Health provides a safe, friendly and healthy school environment where students succeed academically, medically and socially. Many students are minorities, and most families are at or below poverty level. Typically, these students have fallen behind their peers in school because of illnesses including severe asthma and/or allergies, sickle cell anemia, diabetes, HIV/AIDS and other respiratory and related disorders. Morgridge Academy students eat nutritious meals, exercise daily, and practice positive social interaction. Upon graduation, Morgridge Academy students have the skills to lead healthy, productive, meaningful and active lives.

Tests, exams, and quizzes – oh my! These can all be very stressful for students and have a big impact on our overall class grade. If you are not a good test-taker, no worries! I have ten things that will make sure you ace that next test, exam, or quiz that comes your way!
Top 10 Tips To Ace That Test!
1. Do Not Wait! Every second counts – start preparing and studying now!
2. Ask Questions! If you don't understand something now you won't magically "get it" for your test either. Don't be afraid to ask classmates or your professor a question.
3. Make A Study Group! Collaborating together will allow you all to understand better by talking it out and seeing how well everyone else is grasping the material.
4. Meet With Your Professor! It's their job to teach material, but it's your job to make sure you understand it. See them for clarification. Plus they will know you are putting in an effort.
5. Do Your Homework! If you aren't doing the reading, going to class, taking notes, or doing assignments then you will be losing out on the material needed to pass your test.
6. Study Guides Are Key! If one isn't given for you, make your own. Go through every reading, lecture, quiz, and homework to make a study guide. This should be your new best friend.
7. Study In Segments! If you cram all at once, chances are you will forget most of it. This allows you to soak the material in and go at a nice pace.
8. Stick To Your Strength! Know what works best for you, everyone studies differently (notecards, highlights, re-reading, writing, etc.) and at different times of the day (morning, afternoon, or night).
9. Get Your Rest! Staying up late will only create more issues on exam day and not allow you the concentration or memory you will need.
10. Fuel Your Fire! Eat (healthy) before your test to fill your tummy and fuel your brain. You can't think on an empty stomach.
Now you're ready – go study, tackle this list! As long as your mindset is positive that you are capable of doing well, then that is half the battle! Good luck!

Since writing my last blog I've been yearning to know more about the history of kolaches. Passed down from generation to generation, this simple pastry has evolved into savory treats using ingredients available based on geographic location and personal preferences.
My ancestors immigrated to Nebraska then ventured into northeast Kansas. Other Czechs traveled to Texas and then north into Oklahoma. All these states host annual festivals with kolaches often being a prominent theme.
The following legend captured by writer and photographer Katie Cantrell is one of my favorite regarding the kolache:
"Long ago, in a corner of the Austro-Hungarian Empire now known as the Czech Republic, Maminka was trying to bake bread but her daughter, Lebuse, kept interrupting her. So Maminka gave her a piece of dough to play with. Happily, Lebuse rolled and flattened her dough, added some plums from the table, and slipped her creation into the oven with the rest of the bread. When her father came in from the fields for a snack he grabbed Lebuse's little cake, which promptly squirted him with scalding plum juice. Crazed with pain, he began hopping around the table in a circle. Lebuse, who found all this very funny, cried out, "Tatinek je do kola!" In other words: "Tatinek is making a wheel!"
And so the kolache was born with its name evolving from the Czech word "kola" meaning "wheels" or "rounds."

Now You Know I'm Not Going To Bother You Every Week, Right?
You know that's not my style. I know you're busy and you don't need me blowing you up, asking you to watch The Haves And The Have Nots and Love Thy Neighbor, so I'm not going to do that every week. It's just that these shows are so new right now that I need you to watch a few more episodes so that you will be hooked, although a lot of you have said you are hooked already. Thanks for that by the way (I love that I can count on my board members, y'all got my back). All I'm going to say to you is that The Haves And The Have Nots is on OWN tonight and will be on every Tuesday night at 9/8c... and on Wednesday night at 9/8c (tomorrow) Love Thy Neighbor will be on.
Wait until you see what Candace does next or what's going on with Jeffery and Wyatt… it ain't what you think. And wait until Katheryn and Jim start verbal sparring tonight, she has a tongue like a razor. And keep your eye on Benny… something is going to happen to him that will change the stakes for them all. Oh, and Veronica and David, they've got a story too. And Benny and Candace are keeping a secret from Hanna, wait until she finds out about it. OK, I'll stop there, I don't want to give too much away. You'll see tonight.
And listen, I asked OWN to start with the first two episodes tonight, so they will start running at 7 and 8, but the new episode of The Haves And The Have Nots will air at 9/8c tonight. OK?
That's it, short and sweet :-). I'll be tweeting tonight, come talk to me.

NASHVILLE, TN -- The No. 14 Railsplitters hit the road for the first test of the 2012-13 season away from Tex Turner Arena on Tuesday night, traveling to Trevecca Nazarene University and coming away with a commanding 73-52 victory over the Trojans.
Lincoln Memorial University moves to 3-0 on the season with the win, with all three victories coming by a margin of greater than 20 points. With the loss, TNU falls to 1-4 on the season.
The Railsplitters faced an early 2-0 deficit after a pair of free throws from JP Nyadaro at the 19:17 mark of the first half, but, LMU quickly responded with a three-point play from Cam Carden to take a 3-2 lead with 18:50 on the clock.
LMU never looked back as they would not trail for the remainder of the contest, extending that advantage to 19-6 with a trey from Wally Jones with 13:14 left in the first frame of play. The Railsplitters concluded the first stanza on a 7-0 rally, capped with a pair of free throws from Dustin Craig to head into the break with a 39-19 lead.
The Railsplitters fired at a 53.8% rate from the floor in the first half and held the Trojans to a 25% clip over that same span. For the game, LMU finished at 50% shooting from the field while TNU was limited to only 39.1%.
In the second frame, the 'Splitters would extend their lead to as many as 23 and never led by less than 12 en route to a dominating 73-52 victory over the Trojans in Nashville, Tennessee.
For the second-consecutive contest, four different players finished in double-figures in the scoring column for the Railsplitters, headlined by Jake Troyli's 19-point effort.
Dustin Craig notched the first double-double of the season for Lincoln Memorial with 16 points and a game-high 12 rebounds. Craig was a perfect 6-6 from the field along with a 4-7 mark from the charity stripe. Wally Jones narrowly missed joining Craig with a double-double, as he recorded 17 points and eight rebounds.
Cam Carden poured in 12 points paired with a game-leading five assists. CJ Wakeley tallied six points and Lorenza Ross got in on the act with three points to cap the scoring for LMU.
As a unit, the Railsplitters corralled 36 rebounds to only 21 for the Trojans.
Maliek Daniels paced the Trojans with a game-high 20 points to go along with a team-leading seven rebounds. JP Nyadaro was the only other scorer to notch double-figure scoring with 10 points in the affair.
The Railsplitters dominated the battle inside the paint, 34-20, and second-chance points, 11-3.
Lincoln Memorial returns to Tex Turner Arena for their next contest as they are set to host Hiwassee College for a nonconference match up on Saturday, November 24th. That game is slated to tip at 4 p.m. in Harrogate, Tennessee.

Imagine this scenario: Cal and Saint Mary's meet in Dayton, Ohio, in a March 19 first-round game in the NCAA tournament, with the winner advancing to the San Jose regional.
A tantalizing prospect?
Absolutely, and not altogether far-fetched, according to ESPN.com "bracketologist" Joe Lunardi, who projected that matchup as recently as last weekend.
Lunardi's vision -- suggesting they would battle for a No. 12 seed -- points to the delicate state of both teams' postseason hopes. Neither is a lock to make the NCAA field, but both can control their own fate.
How it all unfolds for the Bears and Gaels will continue to take shape this week with each team facing a pair of significant games:
Cal hits the road to face Pac-12 leader Oregon on Thursday night, and then visits Oregon State on Saturday. They are the final two road games of the league schedule for the Bears.
Saint Mary's is home to face West Coast Conference rival BYU on Thursday before playing Saturday in Moraga in an ESPN Bracketbusters matchup against Creighton of the Missouri Valley Conference.
Here's a look at the road ahead for both local teams:
The Bears (16-9, 8-5) have won five of six to move within two games of the Ducks. Over the past three weeks, Cal has beaten Oregon, Arizona and UCLA -- the league's top three teams -- sparking its RPI computer rank to climb from the high 70s to No. 53.
"Three weeks ago, people probably would have given us up for dead," Cal coach Mike Montgomery said. "Things have kind of changed in the way we're perceived. We're going to have to win some more games, but we're in the conversation. That's where you want to be."
The Bears began the season 0-9 against teams rated in the top 100 of the RPI but now are 6-9. Oregon represents another big opportunity, but just as important is avoiding a loss to Oregon State, with its poor RPI of 173. Cal hasn't lost to a team with a computer rating worse than 100 all season.
Of course, the Bears aren't in the news simply because they are winning. Montgomery's infamous shove of Cal star Allen Crabbe during Sunday's win over USC has everyone talking.
Except the players, according to Crabbe, who said the Oregon game is the team's sole focus. "Nobody cares about the (other) situation. It's over with," he said. "It's in the past."
Saint Mary's
The Gaels (22-5, 11-2) are firmly entrenched in second place in the WCC, 11/2 games back of Gonzaga but two ahead of BYU. Saint Mary's hasn't lost to the Cougars since they joined the conference before last season.
Gaels coach Randy Bennett said there is no chance his team will be overconfident about the rematch.
"Our guys know they're good," Bennett said. "They know we kind of stole one with Delly's shot."
That was Jan. 16 in Provo, Utah, where the Gaels rallied from a 20-4 hole and won 70-69 when senior guard Matthew Dellavedova made a running 3-pointer at the buzzer.
Just as important is the Gaels' game Saturday against Creighton, which began the season 17-1, including a win at Cal. The Bluejays are just 4-5 in their past nine games but sit at No. 43 in the RPI, four spots better than Saint Mary's.
The WCC provides Saint Mary's fewer chances to duel high-level opponents, as evidenced by its 3-3 record against top 100 RPI teams. The Gaels have beaten no team rated high than No. 63 BYU. Given that, the Creighton game is big.
"They're all big," Bennett said.
He'd get no argument from Montgomery.
He joins Kevin Foster (2,187 points), Marc Trasolini (1,528) and Evan Roquemore (1,198), giving the foursome a total of 5,914 points -- easily the most by any four players on the same team in the nation.
Davidson (5,192 points) and North Carolina State (4,699) also have four 1,000-point men.

THIS isn't good:
Former Reuters climate change reporter David Fogarty blew the whistle Monday on the global media giant's growing hostility to reporting on the climate change crisis, including a company-wide 'climate of fear,' in which Fogarty was given explicit instructions�and faced bureaucratic pressures�to avoid the topic.
Fogarty became so frustrated with his prohibition from covering an issue he sees as crucial to journalism�and that he was hired to write about�that he resigned his post earlier this year.
"From very early in 2012, I was repeatedly told that climate and environment stories were no longer a top priority for Reuters ...

ESPN caught up with Delonte West in Washington DC over the weekend, where he was assistant coaching the Goodman League team during a game against Los Angeles' Drew League. Delonte now has a new job in mind to keep him busy during the lockout. Apparently he plans on selling knives at Sam's Club or BJ's in addition to working at the Home Depot.
Danielle Hobeika 8/22/2011 01:23:00 PM Tweet Edit
"I actually might have work with Sam's [Club], BJ's, selling knives," West said. "That's pretty cool too. I get a microphone and everything."Read the full article on ESPN.com
West's down-to-earth approach to lockout employment is also reflected in his attitude toward the summer league games, which he saw as a chance for NBA players to connect with the fan base.
"With the lockout going on, guys could be anywhere in the world vacationing, but they're right here supporting the people," he said. "The people are going through a lockout just like we are. They make it a lot about us, but the average American is going through a lockout themselves."
West said he hadn't heard back yet on his "average American" job application, but he was looking forward to potential employee perks at Home Depot, should the lockout extend into the season.
"You gotta get with it, do something that you love," he said. "I'm an architect, I was an art major. At Home Depot, I get free discount on hammers and nails."

VALLEJO -- The South Napa earthquake early Sunday caused some structural damage to buildings in downtown Vallejo and Mare Island.
The quake, centered four miles northwest of American Canyon and six miles south-southwest of Napa, occurred around 3:20 a.m., according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
Several storefront windows were shattered in the downtown area, and bricks fell from a section of wall on the Sonoma Boulevard side of the First United Methodist Church.
"(Vallejo) residents have reported loss of water from several water breaks, minor roadway damage, minor gas leaks, and power outages," according to a City of Vallejo news release. "A road has been closed on Mare Island at Nimitz and Rickover streets."
The city said that most of the damage has been limited to "collapsed awnings and facades, broken windows and glass, and one confirmed partial collapse on Mare Island," according to an updated release.
Nimitz Avenue on Mare Island is closed from Seventh Street to Bagley, and 1145 and 1155 Nimitz Ave. have been red-tagged.
Twenty-five minor injuries were reported at local hospitals, the city said.
State Route 37's Sonoma Boulevard exit was closed shortly after the earthquake due to safety concerns but has since reopened.
Andrea Garcia, Director of External Relations at Touro University California, said that books and other paperwork fell from walls and desks but no other damages were reported.
Touro University is located on Mare Island and is housed in older buildings.
Garcia said that a white coat ceremony at 2 p.m. Sunday would still take place.
"The park is currently undergoing a thorough inspection and preliminarily, the park has not sustained any damage or power outages from the earthquake," wrote Six Flags Discover Kingdom spokeswoman Nancy Chan in an email Sunday morning. "All of the animals were immediately checked out and found to be fine. The park will open as originally scheduled today."

The Bruins have clearly been tops in the Eastern Conference, but a slew of games against easy foes could see their pace slow.

Despite a fast start and seemingly destined date with Stanley, the Canadiens have too many question marks to be successful.
Back in July, when the THN crew sat down to begin officially prognosticating about the upcoming season – yes, it begins that early around here – the Montreal Canadiens were more or less considered the de facto Eastern Conference champions.

Tahoe night two started out fair enough and the Stash happened. This is the song that gave birth to my poetry series and now Science Friction website theslopingcompanion.com and this one delivered. It was stretched out the way I liked it and could not come at a better time to get me more interested in the set. The Sloping Companion. Those three words mean so much to me. Maybe some other time.
The Funky Bitch is always a phamily pleaser and this one got the job done with no real leap into that place that we still have yet to give a universal name and definition. However, Phish was not running on idle. They were all invested the entire time.
Instant Karma was fun and notable.
My stream for night two is cutting out a lot more than night one. Do I blame comcast or do I blame Phish? I blame myself for being so obsessed.
I write notes about Phish shows while Phish is playing. Why? Because I can. I dont do it everytime but couch tour makes it easy as pie but not American more like a nice rhubarb.
Second set of Tahoe night two opened strong with Disease Stop Stop Stop...No Phish...Keep on going. It might sound cliche but so far this has been a tour of second sets for me and I dont say that about every tour. The jam at the end of Disease was strong and to the point. Treys sustain then broke into a short stated series of 16th notes the was reminscient of machine gun Trey of old but lets not get bogged down in technicalities. Lets talk about the feelings that those technicalities create in any number of people with any number of backgrounds....Shit...Machine gun Trey. Its one of his elder tricks and he has learned apply it tastefully over the tours instead of banging you over the head with it to the brink of almost having an anxiety attack 1.0 style. Its not that I didnt enjoy that brink in my youth..Hell...I chased it... but I am in a much more relaxed anti manic stage in my life and have learned to embrace the whole that present day Phish creates and when he brings out the machine gun then I stand ready to be shot by it.
Its these same tasteful applications of their entire tool box that has marked the maturity of this band into present day American venue icons and I dont use the word icon casually. Disease went on until it melted into an abrupt rest and then back up again into Runaway Jim. Plinko Jam became the theme of this meandering Runaway for the intro into the second verse. They have been using that tastefully as well this tour and I actually am embarrassed to even use the term publicly but there you go.
The second chance for the band to improvise was again straight ahead Phish and created a second story beyond the plinko....beyond the jam....beyond any competition. And then we went there again...Phish took us there again as the song concluded. Where did they take us? They took us to that place that we still havent been able to universally define or put our finger on exactly because it keeps wobbling off every time we get closer to the one. However we wobbled for quite some time before they busted out the arguable song of the Summer for me personally. We are truly living in a Golden Age. Sell now!!!
The impromptu vocal jam out of Sallie made the song unique and obviously had the crowd shaking their collective asses.
Fuck...Guyute. I have often said that I could hear Guyute at every Phish show and never complain. Do I really need to explain why? The short answer is that this song rang through my head almost every time I lined up to the assassination range while I performed in The Dupage Symphony Orchestra. We were playing Brahms or some god awful rehashed Christmas spectacular...but in my head...everytime I picked up a stick or a mallet....I was playing Guyute. Thats the short answer. The long answer? Lets not go there.
Trey grinning before going into the final verse left me fleeing all cares and worries of the day while we were getting ever closer to that one thing. Mike also was grinning ear to ear during the final musical phrase and its always good to see him lose the poker face and smile like he probably smiled when he figured out his first scale.
WATSIYEM? I had been secretly waiting for this without going gaga about it on any of the boards. Its one of the songs that unify everyone involved because in this song we see set up after setup after setup after setup and then....the vocal jam. It was my secret wish since The Gorge launched this leg and I was lucky enough to see it in High Definition. How many set ups are actually in a standard You Enjoy Myself? Then again, this is Phish. Is there anything ever standard about a live You Enjoy Myself? The trampolines came out and Fishman was clicking away on his hi hat in perfect sequential order and then the debatable hose for a brief moment. Then, back into Fishmans seqeuncing which turns into the kilter/off kilter accents on the snare then the debateable predetermined hose again as a whole note just sits in your belly then....then....Boy.Man.God.Shit. Then, the lyrical mind fuck that can only come after listing four basic words that are powerful enough on their own but when stated together and in that order....well...What exactly are they saying in this song? Its something bigger than we could ever know. Its something bigger than the four guys on the stage for that matter. Its the gateway to that one thing. Its the subconscious wobble that makes itself conscious multiple times when everyone is dailed in...The Mike solo that was the punctuation mark on the end of the first part of the song magically propelled Trey to dance like nobody was watching but we were all fucking watching and if you werent smiling then you should just give up right now. Then, the vocal jam.
Phish quickly went into what I call their Nightmare Before Christmas harmony. There were spiders crawling up my keyboard and then onto my hands and into my various orafices to only lay and hatch more eggs inside of me. Then, they started shouting in some sort of other worldy chant...Not to the mothership but to the thing that controls the mothership. Was that thing answering back? Well...we live in a society that refuses to look up so we may never get that answer. One thing is for certain. Things are certainly looking up for the second leg of this tour for sheer historical record.
Show of Life concluded the evening. Lyrically its always a powerful message and is one that I am glad to have reiterated by Phish when they choose to share the message. You know some lives were changed forever in Tahoe. Some for the first time...Imagine having that transformation and then rounding it out with the message that Show of Life affords?
Some of us can remember that first moment....right? Isn't it our responsibility to give that moment to as many people as we know?
Boy.Man.God.Shit...Ive learned what it takes to be a man and I dont have to wish I was at home because I am on couch tour 2011. Boy...God...Shit? The other three? Again, its a long story. Lets not go there. Good Times Bad Times. End of story.
