Sage "press conference" video. Pure catharsis
Spin article:
Direct video link:
WRITTEN BY Chris Martins
May 12 2014, 1:08 PM ET
There's a thing that happens, on Facebook in particular, when you're an artist and you announce a tour. The inane questions begin even before the excitement does: "No love for [insert passed-over state here]?" or "Are you gonna play any of the old, good stuff?" or, possibly seriously, "Why don't you play my porch?" Sage Francis preemptively answers all of those burning queries in the hilarious clip above. Therein, the Rhode Island MC announces his upcoming North American tour (plus a whole bunch of European dates) via a press conference that spoofs the aforementioned phenomenon.
If you've ever been a music fan on the Internet, you'll appreciate the man's response. But the Jay Brown-directed clip also contains another gem for members of the Cult of Francis: a significant portion of "Pressure Cooker," the barn-burner of an opening track from Sage's June 3 album, Copper Gone. Produced by Doomtree beat-beast Cecil Otter, the song features the MC in top form, growling out his piece over Rick Rubin-esque guitar blasts and brooding production. "They say anger is a gift," Francis raps. "I'm very gifted." Indeed, the video's 3:25 mark suggests as much. Dig in above, and stream "Vonnegut Busy" below.

Pressure cooker sounds nuts.
You can really tell you made this alone in your house. I know what you mean about Life not having your sound. This is that sloppily pasted together sage we all fell in love with. The charmingest of slop.
But, like you do, it's not actually sloppy at all. It sounds really good and clean.
Did I make any sense?

Pressure Cooker sounds insane. Reminding me of the harder material on AHD, like Buzz Kill. Copper Gone is going to blow me away, I know that already.

Man.. When you get done touring, please, more videos. I'm sure you've heard it before, but I have a secret fantasy of seeing you do the Joe Rogan podcast. That's right. Secret fantasy.

Yeah, Sage on any of those podcasts would be awesome... Rogan for one (Mac Lethal and Immortal Technique were both on there last year, surely someone in that circle must be familiar with Sage as well) but I'm also feeling like Sage and Marc Maron might have a really good conversation, there's a lot of obvious common ground on the DIY tip as well as compulsions to authenticity, personal expression, confrontation, even the love of cats, etc etc, and that's just on the surface level... After a 60+ minute WTF-conversation, who knows what else... A Strange Famous podcast (however regular) would be cool as well, like someone said in another thread.

I definitely second Sage going on WTF, I think that could get very interesting. For whatever reason I also really want Sage to go on Doug Loves Movies with "Mark Wahlberg" and "Werner Herzog", I just feel like he could bring some great stuff to the table to really make that conversation great. (For any non-listeners of DLM, those names are in quotes because they are played by Daniel Van Kirk and Paul F. Tompkins, respectively. If you've never heard it before I recommend seeking out some of the episodes with either one of them in it.)

Mixing meds could make you sicker
|Bengt Bostrom, 71, organizes his medications at his home in Coppell, Texas. Credit: MCT
Bostrom, 71, of Coppell, Texas, went to his internist, Dr. Bradley Jones, to figure out why he was so exhausted. Bostrom was already being treated for prostate cancer, and a specialist had prescribed naproxen to help reduce swelling.
If Jones had known that, he'd have added a medicine to protect Bostrom's stomach. Instead, Jones didn't find out until he noted how unnaturally pale Bostrom was, ran tests and sent him to the hospital, where he required four units of blood to stabilize a bleeding ulcer.
"I didn't suspect the medication," Bostrom says, noting that the naproxen, which Jones identified as the culprit, was an over-the-counter pill he'd only taken four or five days.
Jones, an internist on staff at Baylor Medical Center at Irving, Texas, says the incident points out the importance of having one doctor monitor all of a patient's medications - prescription, over-the-counter and herbal.
"The internist is the quarterback of a patient's care," Jones says. "The internist needs to make the referrals, and if you self-refer, the specialist should send a report back so the internist can say this medicine is fine or there's a reason why we can't do this medicine."
Armon Neel Jr., a fifth-generation pharmacist and author of "Are Your Prescriptions Killing You?" (Atria Books, $25), might add that a board-certified pharmacist, working with that doctor, can play a key role as well.
About 46 million people in the United States have multiple chronic health conditions that require multiple medications and rely on multiple health care providers for their care, according to the Alliance for Integrated Medication Management, an organization created in June with the goal of integrating pharmacists into primary care services with the help of the Health Resources and Services Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
Medication-related problems are common, costly and hurt people, according to a 2012 report from the American Geriatrics Society. Problems can occur when medications are taken incorrectly or conflict with one another or with certain foods and alcohol.
Fatal prescription interactions can occur at any age, as witnessed by the case of actor Heath Ledger, who died in 2008 from an accidental overdose of six prescription drugs, including painkillers, sleeping pills and anti-anxiety medication.
However, Dr. Paul E. Carns, an anesthesiologist and assistant professor of anesthesiology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., says that the most vulnerable are the elderly, who use an average of 16 medications apiece, often prescribed by different specialists and acquired at different pharmacies as patients shop for the best prices.
"As we get older, we have more chronic conditions that require multiple medications that are more powerful than ever before," he says. "Many work specifically on certain places in our body, and many times there's an interaction."
The problem extends to over-the-counter medications taken in excess, from fever reducers such as Tylenol, which can damage the liver, and anti-inflammatory medications such as Advil, which can affect the kidneys, he says.
Additional interactions to watch for: certain beta blockers can have an adverse effect on blood sugar; anti-inflammatory medicines can raise blood pressure; some antibiotics and high doses of grapefruit can inhibit the metabolism or breakdown of statins in cholesterol medications; coumadin, a blood thinner, can be blocked by too much vitamin K, which comes from eating green vegetables.
Neel offers a long list of potentially adverse reactions in his book, pointing out how patients taking blood pressure drugs should be monitored for muscle pain, migraines, blackouts, diabetes and kidney failure.
So how should patients manage?
A pill dispenser, in which pills are organized for morning and night and days of the week, can help patients keep track of when to take the proper medications.
Carns advises patients and caregivers to keep a medication list on them at all times, know what their medications are used for, and be sure to include over-the-counter medicines, herbal supplements and vitamins on the list for a doctor to see. While he goes over all medications with his patients, he will also order a pharmacy consultation for patients who need additional help.
Jones says it's important for both the patient and the internist or family practitioner to recognize that the list of medications may need regular adjustments.
One of his patients, Paul Mason, 85, of Flower Mound, Texas, is happy with the care he received for his heart attack by a specialist in the emergency room. But the cardiologist prescribed a commonly used beta blocker that Jones had prescribed and rejected earlier because it worsened Mason's asthma.
As Mason struggled with his breathing, Jones switched him to a different beta blocker that eased his wheezing and adjusted the dosage of other medications he was taking to control cholesterol, blood pressure, a bladder problem, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and Type 2 diabetes. Jones shared the changes with the cardiologist and discussed them with Mason.
"After 10 days of treatment with the different drugs, Dr. Jones and I agreed to drop some and continue and add others. I'm feeling so much better," Mason says.
As for Bostrom, he keeps a list of all his medications in his wallet, takes only the ones that have been cleared by Jones, and reports back when he feels they need to tinker with the balance.
Communication, they agree, is key to getting it right.
"I had one medication that gave me a cough and he switched me to something that doesn't. We're doing good together."
n Compile a personal medication dossier, keep it up to date, and show it to all doctors and health care professionals you see on every visit.
n If you don't know why you're taking medications on the list or are not sure how to take them, ask.
n If you're taking more than one medication for the same condition, ask why.
n If you are taking medications prescribed by doctors you don't see on a regular basis, ask your primary care physician whether you still need to take them.

The Raiders dropped two spots to No. 28 in The Associated Press Pro32 NFL power rankings after their 37-6 loss to the host Denver Broncos on Sunday.
Oakland had moved up four spots to 26th after beating the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sept. 23.
There's a decent chance the Raiders (1-3) won't lose any ground after their bye week as the four teams ranked below them all face opponents ranked in the top 14.
No. 29 Tennessee visits No. 14 Minnesota, No. 30 Jacksonville hosts No. 9 Chicago, 31. Indianapolis hosts No. 7 Green Bay, and No. 32. Cleveland travels to New Jersey to play the No. 11 Giants.
AP's NFL power rankings started this year and are based on voting from 12 media members.
What follows are the voters' comments on the Raiders after Week 4, as provided by the AP (voter affiliation and ranking in parentheses):
Chris Berman (ESPN, 24) -- Back to AFC West drawing board.
Clifton Brown (Sporting News, 32) -- Darren McFadden has been held to fewer than 35 yards rushing in three of the Raiders' four games.
Cris Collinsworth (NBC Sports, 25) -- Comment currently unavailable
Rich Gannon (CBS Sports/SiriusXM NFL Radio, 30) -- No team struggles to win two in a row more than the Raiders.
Bob Glauber (Newsday, 29) -- Raiders on pace to allow 500 points this season. Not quite the "pride and poise" this team used to be known for.
Rick Gosselin (Dallas Morning News, 24) -- The Raiders are one of four teams with a bye this week. That will give them time to figure out how to better incorporate Darren McFadden in the NFL's worst rushing offense.
Clark Judge (CBSSports.com, 28) -- No longer do the Raiders lead the league in penalties. So don't tell me they're not making progress.
Ira Kaufman (Tampa Tribune, 30) -- Something's awry in the East Bay when Darren McFadden is averaging 3.5 yards per carry.
Pat Kirwan (SiriusXM NFL Radio/CBSSports.com, 31) -- Peyton Manning dissected this defense last week and once again Darren McFadden couldn't get the running game going.
John Lynch (Fox Sports, 28) -- If you have any questions whether Peyton Manning can still play, ask the Raiders.
Alex Marvez (Foxsports.com, 25) -- Excluding a Week 3 home upset of Pittsburgh, the Raiders were dreadful in the second half of their three defeats. The pattern continued in Sunday's 37-6 loss at Denver.
Dan Pompei (Chicago Tribune, 27) -- Unless they figure out how to contain a premier quarterback, they have no chance.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — While most of us don't have a meditative spot in the woods, all of us, at some point in our daily routine, yearn for a place of tranquil reflection. Your bedroom is, or should be, that haven!
If your bedroom doesn't offer you a respite from the hustle and bustle of the day, then now's the time to transform it. The time and money you invest now will pay off in big dividends in your future. Especially, as it might mean you'll be able to be a little happier and saner!
I'd like to suggest you begin by visualizing the types of activities you'll want to conduct in your "get-away haven" — letter writing; reading; pursuing a hobby; morning meditation — all types of activities that require peace and quiet to complete. Then ask yourself ... can your bedroom, with the given amount of space you have, accommodate all these needs? The answer is usually yes, although you may need to take advantage of some clever pre-planning.
Pamper yourself with a decor that provides comfort and a sense of luxury. There is nothing quite like the look of a beautifully designed custom bedspread, duvet or comforter. And by adding a coordinating window treatment, you'll end up with a totally inviting and peaceful room.
In arranging your bedroom, first things first! In most cases that would be the placement of the bed. Because this is usually the largest piece of furniture, chances are that available wall space will somewhat limit your placement options. If at all possible, try not to place the bed so you'll be facing a window, where morning light will wake you up. However, if your bed must face the window, all is not lost. Room darkening window treatments can screen out most if not all the light.
In your search for solitude, you might consider using Mother Nature's color palette. There's nothing quite as calming as bringing the outdoors in — especially where color schemes are concerned. Using nature's color palette is about as close as you'll get to the woods, while remaining indoors.

In the final part of the six-part series, we scan the potential UFAs who will be available from the Atlantic in 2009.
My associate Adam Proteau deemed the Atlantic Division the second-best in the NHL and who am I to disagree? Other than the Islanders, it wouldn't surprise me one bit to see any of the Flyers, Rangers, Penguins or Devils atop the division (or conference, even) when all is said and done.
by Edward Fraser - August 15, 2008 10:53 AM UTC
Home to the defending Stanley Cup champions, the Central also has a few intriguing names who could become UFAs next summer.
The Wings are a lock for top spot in the division, but the Hawks look poised to challenge the Preds for the No. 2 position and the Windy City's first playoff berth in six seasons.
by Edward Fraser - August 8, 2008 10:55 AM UTC
Continuing a series of examining who the potential UFAs in 2009 are, the Northeast Division is led by a few notable Habs.
After a surprise 2007-08 campaign, expectations are rightfully high in la belle Province. But with four prominent players scheduled for unrestricted free agency on July 1, 2009, it could be this year or bust in Montreal.
by Edward Fraser - August 1, 2008 10:38 AM UTC
In Part 3 of a six-part series, we rundown the list of potential UFAs from the Northwest Division for the summer of 2009.
Any one of four teams could claim top spot in the Northwest Division this season (sorry, Colorado) and that team just might have to win it to get into the playoffs.
by Edward Fraser - July 25, 2008 11:00 AM UTC
In Part 2 of a series looking forward to next year's free agent crop, we look at the Southeast Division.
Despite being known as the league's whipping boy, the Southeast Division is still home to some prominent potential 2009 unrestricted free agents – especially if Florida's Jay Bouwmeester gets to arbitration.
by Edward Fraser - July 18, 2008 11:44 AM UTC
When building an NHL team today, you have to keep tomorrow in mind. So here's Part 1 of a look forward to next year's potential free agent crop.
Teams still have work to do filling out their rosters for next season, but with finances of paramount importance in the post-lockout NHL, it's crucial to keep an eye on the distant future as well.
by Edward Fraser - July 11, 2008 10:05 AM UTC
David Poile has done a fantastic job this summer in keeping his own players, and on Thursday Edward talked with the GM about the Predators.
It has been no secret I think David Poile is doing a phenomenal job this summer, specifically in getting UFA goalie Dan Ellis (two years, $1.
by Edward Fraser - July 3, 2008 11:08 AM UTC
Respect for Hossa... $22M for Hainsey?... the Zherdev trade... More praise for Poile... Mats' money... and Tampa's future.
Some random and not-so-random thoughts and postulations on the first couple of days of the NHL's free agent frenzy… • What does desperation smell like? To Don Waddell, it smells like $22.
by Edward Fraser - June 26, 2008 10:15 AM UTC
It's still early, but based on the moves Nashville GM David Poile has pulled off so far this off-season, he has to be in the running for executive of the year in 2009.
I don't know what kind of incriminating photos David Poile has of Dan Ellis, but whatever it is, it has to be nasty. Because, quite frankly, there's no other explanation for Ellis putting his John Hancock on a deal worth far less than he could have snagged on the open market after July 1.

One of the many trade rumors swirling around the draft has Patrick Marleau finally leaving San Jose, but the Sharks deserve another shot under a new coach.
No other time – aside from before the trade deadline – does the rumor mill churn with such fervor as in the days leading up to the NHL Entry Draft.

Calder Cup champs led by vets, supported by youngsters... Kevin Lowe makes things interesting... Award parity... and the Thursday Larf.
A few unrelated musings bouncing around my head in the weeks following the playoffs. WOLVES IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING The Atlanta Thrashers' playoff experience may be limited to a four-game sweep at the hands of the Rangers last season, but their AHL affiliates' recent championship has to bode well for the future of the big franchise.

The Stanley Cup and Conn Smythe have been awarded and here are our picks for the best players in the final.
Congratulations to the Red Wings on a well-deserved Stanley Cup championship. Despite a pair of lackluster games to start the final, the Detroit-Pittsburgh tilt lived up to its billing as one of the best series in recent memory.

If you've been outside during the day lately, you know the summer heat wave has officially started.
"Each summer we anticipate heat-related cases," said Dr. Bret Boes of Anderson's Hospital's emergency room.
Symptoms of heat-related sickness vary by age and the severity of dehydration. But there are common symptoms.
"Generally the symptoms can range from just weakness to muscle cramps," said Boes, "all the way to confusion and severe cramps and mental status changes."
Young children and the elderly are the most susceptible. The elderly are so sensitive because they frequently are left by themselves.
"They tend not to be as sensitive to temperature changes," Boes said. "You might see them outside wearing long sleeves and things like that in the very hot weather. They just don't detect it the same, and sometimes they're really sick before they realize what's happening."
It seems like we hear this story every summer: a parent leaves their child locked in the car while they run off to finish a few errands. But when they return, tragedy. That's why doctors say you should never, ever under any circumstances, leave your child locked in the car during the summer.
Remember that time can get away from you and that in reality, in a very short amount of time, especially small children or pets, can overheat and have very serious illness and death.
Precautions you can take to beat the heat include staying inside during peak sun hours, dressing appropriately and drinking lots of fluids.
But as one veteran of Mississippi's summers told me Tuesday, no matter what you do, you're going to sweat.

The third-floor gallery of the Hermann Fine Arts Center on the Marietta College campus is filled with artwork, and the public is invited to see it.
The college's Annual Juried Student Art Exhibition opened Feb. 18 and will remain open through March 19.
A wide variety of art, including paintings, drawings, ceramics, digital images, photography and mixed media, is featured in the show. All of the work featured was created by students at the college.

ASHLEY HILL The Marietta Times
Marietta College senior Chelsea Broderick holds "Farworld Sleep Tea" packaging she created in her senior design class. The design earned her the best in show award for the college's Annual Juried Student Art Exhibition, which will be on display at the college through March 19.
"Every spring, students submit work that they've done in the last year - the work has to be completed in one of our classes here in art or design," explained Jolene Powell, assistant professor of art at Marietta College. "Each student can submit up to six pieces for consideration, and all of the (art department) faculty, we all get together and select about 50 percent of what was submitted."
Powell said the pieces chosen were judged by Abby Hayhurst, the director of the Parkersburg Art Center, and Andy Hall, a graphic designer at Stonewall Marketing in Marietta.
Winners in best painting, best graphic design, best 2D, best 3D/solid design and overall best in show categories received $25 gift certificates for area businesses.
"The students also vote and choose a student choice award, then the president and provost of the college come over and choose a piece for the president's choice award and provost's choice award," Powell said.
Senior Chelsea Broderick, 22, of Hudson won the best in show award for the "Farworld Sleep Tea" packaging she created in her senior design class.
"We came up with a self-driven, semester-long project with the theme of 'transition'," she said. "I wanted to explore the transition from consciousness to sleep, the real world to the dream world, and through my research discovered that ancient Egypt had rich and fascinating dream traditions.
"I decided to use Egyptian imagery and mythology to create a brand of tea that is totally different from most tea products you could buy in stores," Broderick said.
Junior Melanie Boyd of Cross Lanes, W.Va., has three pieces displayed in the show. One of them is a Halloween-themed movie collection she created in her junior design 1 class. Boyd said it took her about eight weeks to create it.
"I picked five movies and created a box, DVD case covers, inserts and DVD labels for them," she said. "My project included a black-and-white box, which looks like a haunted house, as well as crayons, so that kids could color the box and keep the set together."
She also designed labels for a "Melvin's Texas Grill" spice collection, which she described as having a "fun Western theme".
Boyd, a graphic design major, said she also had artwork accepted into the exhibition her freshman and sophomore years of college. She said the show is something she looks forward to every year.
"It gives me a chance to see what other classes are doing," Boyd said. "There are so many different types of art that are created here at Marietta College, and it is wonderful to see them all come together in one awesome show."
Powell described the show as a "healthy competition".
"The students tend to come to the opening to support their friends even if they didn't get something of theirs in," she said.
Corryn Muench, a junior from Newport, Ky., has three pieces in the show. One is packaging she created for "Oodles" noodle spice in her design class.
"I really like this exhibition because it gives people from the whole college a chance to showcase their talents, and I think it's really cool when you see someone from another major have a beautiful piece hanging on the wall," she said.

STOCKTON - Former Lincoln High School and University of Oregon football standout Dewitt Stuckey was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence early Saturday morning in Stockton, authorities said.
The California Highway Patrol stopped Stuckey on West Hammer Lane west of North Lower Sacramento Road, authorities said. He was booked into the San Joaquin County Jail at 3:27 a.m. Saturday and released later in the day.
Stuckey was one of the nation's most highly rated college football prospects as a senior at Lincoln in 2007-08. He played for Oregon from 2008 to 2011, earning All-Pacific-12 Conference honorable mention after finishing third on the team in tackles in 2011.
LODI - The Lodi Police Department was looking for a man who shot a Latino teenager multiple times shortly before 2 p.m. Saturday near the corner of North Stockton and East Pine streets. The victim was taken to a hospital, where he was in stable condition with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police and witnesses said the boy was shot following a dispute between two groups of people. A witness said the shooter was a Latino male standing about 5-foot-11 with a black hat, black shirt and jeans.
STOCKTON - A 19-year-old man was shot shortly before 1:30 p.m. Saturday in the 1900 block of Latigo Way. The victim was shot following a dispute with a black male who was driving a white 2009 Pontiac G6 with Ohio license plates.
The victim was taken to a hospital. He suffered serious injuries but was expected to survive.

Beretta recently announced the debut of the A400 Xplor Action, a semiautomatic shotgun now available in both 12- and 20-gauge designs. The Action is the first semiauto field shotgun to be equipped with an electronic device that counts fired shots. The GunPod component, which is housed in the pistol grip cap, performs other functions as well. These shotguns are lightweight and feature Beretta's Kick-Off recoil reducer, which uses two hydraulic dampeners. The receiver is copper-tinted. Chambered for 3-inch shotshells, the Action 12-gauge is available with a 26-, 28-, or 30-inch barrel. The 20-gauge model also has a 24-inch barrel option. berettausa.com
Waterfowlers may well have seen this coming. Hot on the heels of last year's introduction of the new A5, Browning is now offering a magnum version of this popular autoloader chambered for 3 1/2-inch loads. The only shotgun to come with a 100,000-round or five-year warranty, the A5 now offers gunners an increased payload. This gun has all the standard features of Browning's redesigned A5—the humpback receiver, extra-long forcing cone, Invector-DS choke tube system, and Inflex II recoil pad. In addition, this 3 1/2-inch model is available in Mossy Oak's new Shadow Grass Blades camouflage pattern as well as black synthetic. browning.com
If unique is what you seek, Chiappa Firearms has just the gun for you. The new Triple Crown three-barreled shotgun features a side-by-side configuration with a third barrel perched on top, providing a single sight plane. The Triple Crown is available in 12-gauge with 3-inch chambering and Rem-Choke choke tubes. This is a single-trigger shotgun; the barrels fire in a clockwise sequence with each pull of the trigger. The Triple Crown field model features 28-inch barrels and weighs in at 8 1/2 pounds. chiappafirearms.com

The literal meaning of Karma is action.
Strange are the ways of Karma. The more you understand it, the more amazed you become. It brings people together and also separates them. It causes some to be weak and some to be strong. It makes some rich and some poor. All the struggles in the world, whatever it may be, are the bondage of Karma.
Karma cuts across all logic and reasoning. This understanding will lift you from getting stuck to events and personalities and help you in your journey to the Self.
Question: So, a thief can say it is my Karma to steal?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Then, the police have the Karma to catch him too! (Laughs)
The Three Types Of Karma
Good or bad things happen based on Karma. When times are good, even enemies behave like friends. Sometimes, people for whom you have done so much good become your enemies. And there are people who help you whom you have not done any good for. Time has its role to play.
Only humans have the ability to change the effect of time and be free of Karma. And only a few thousand aim to be free from it.
Some Karma can be changed while others cannot.
The first step towards this is to know the different types of Karma: Prarabdha, Sanchita, and Agami.
Prarabdha means "begun"—the action that is already manifesting. Prarabdha is the Karma that is yielding its effect right now. You cannot avoid or change it as it is already happening.
Sanchita Karma is the "gathered" or "piled up" Karma—what we have brought with us. Sanchita is collected Karma that can be cleared by spiritual practices like meditation.
We can also eliminate our Sanchita Karma, which we have as stored tendencies, through prayers, service, and sharing our love and joy with people around us in nature. Satsang (the company of the truth – essentially the company of the wise and compassionate, in whose presence we feel uplifted and joyful) burns the seed of all negative Karma.
"Agami" literally means "not come". Agami Karma is the Karma that has not yet come: one that will take effect in the future. If you commit a crime, you may not get caught today, but will live with thoughts of the possibility that you may get caught one day. This is the future Karma of the action. Certain impressions, strong impressions in the mind, remain, and they form future Karma.
How Can Meditation Erase Karma?
Some Karma can be changed and some cannot.
When you prepare a dessert, if sugar or ghee (clarified butter) is too little at the pre-cooking stage, you can add more. If some other ingredient is too much, it can all be adjusted and repaired. But once it is cooked, it cannot be reversed.
Milk can become sweet yoghurt or sour yoghurt, and sour yoghurt can be sweetened. But neither can be reverted to milk. Prarabdha Karma cannot be changed. Sanchita Karma can be changed through spiritual practices.
Getting rid of Karma means getting rid of impressions. Sanchita Karma manifests as a tendency or an impression in the mind. As human beings, we have the ability to erase impression and fear through meditation. Meditation is there to rectify painful Karma, at least reduce their impact or effect.
The inward journey (of meditation) nullifies our negative Karma. You are just washing out everything when you meditate. Then there is nothing. You become so hollow and empty that whatever fear is there will just dissolve and disappear and thin down all that is laid on the self. This is very precious.
Through meditation, bad Karma can be washed off right now, here. Before the body drops, get rid of Karma and erase the sheets of ignorance that surround you.
Did You Know?
When you praise someone, you take on their good Karma. When you blame someone, you take on their bad Karma.
Complied by Ravisha Kathuria, based on wisdom talks by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

I last played my PS2 about 2 years ago, it worked fine. I left it in my TV stand in my room.
I was thinking about buying Dark Cloud from ebay, went to go turn on my PS2: now it doesnt turn on. Could a build up of dust (shot in the dark I know) cause it to not power up? I tried more then one power cable.
I already need to buy a new Ps1 for Tomba!, it would piss me off to have to buy a new PS2 cause of my PS2 collection. :/

What are some things that can cause a PS2 to not turn on?
08-08-2011 #2
Dust can arc electricity and cause it to short. Did it show any signs of power initially?

It hasnt powered on at all, cant figure out why. Tempted to just say $#@! it and buy a new cable for it, any idea what the cable for the PS2 phat is called? I can only find PS2 Slim cables.
08-12-2011 #4
My first guess would be a build up of dust, although you would still hear some sound even it was to fail.
Done a Google search to see about the various cables for the Playstations and found this:
However, i can say if the "best answer" is correct as I no longer have a chunky PS2.

try to change the cable of electricity
08-29-2011 #6
I hear story's like this and i find it a little funny. No offense. I had my PS2 from day dot, dropped it off the top of my wardrobe as a youth, down the stairs, my sister poured cola on it even and it never let me down. If only i had it now, i would love to see how it would perform, my suggestion would be to clean out the dust, as other members have said. Also the cable, here.·· Elite ··

First, check to make sure that power is actually getting to the PS2. This may be the most likely scenario, and the easiest to remedy. If the power is on, check the cord next. The cord itself is just a standard type of electrical wire used on a lot of appliances, so it should be easy to find a replacement, especially if you have another Playstation. You could even "sully" your PS2 by using a Dreamcast or Xbox cord. So long as the wire does not have a AC to DC adaptor built in, as the N64 does, or not fit the slot, as the original PS3's wire. If the cord isn't the problem, you may have to open the system. First, I would check the power supply on the inside of the system. It should be easy to find, as it will be seperate from the main board, and it will have a large rectangular object on it. This large rectangular object which looks like a plastic window frame surrounding a rectangular lump is called a transformer, and it takes the 120V (230V for UK folks) and modifies it to a voltage which the PS2 can use. Check this board for any damage. If you can replace a blown capacitor or transformer, you'll be in business. If the power supply is also fine, your main board may be damaged. If that's true, you've had it. Printed circuit boards are beyond a DIY-er's capability, unless you're quite talented. (If you were that talented, you wouldn't be asking for help here anyway)

Gents, Let's assume that the power has been confirmed...there is a measured 8.5 volts being delivered to the PS2. (Pretty easy to do...simply use a cheap analog DC volt meter to measure the output voltage at the end of the power cord...Note that the inner connection is pretty small..a small finishing nail stuck into the cord connector will allow you to touch it with the meter probe...the other prob being touched to the outer portion of the connector...8.5 v?...). The connection to the PS2 uses a two-point contact in the PS2..With enough wiggling and daily useage / moving, etc...the connecting point in the PS2 can be pushed aside enough times to cause it to not want to make connection with the power cord plug. (Look inside the socket where the power cord plugs in..there is a center shaft that makes connection with the inside of the power cord probe...and a metal clip that makes connection with the outer portion of the probe)....There's a good chance that the outer clip is no longer making that conntection...if you can move the probe around inside the socket and occasionally make a connection..then the problem can probably be repaired.
Take the PS2 apart (some excellent videos are on YouTube...6 screws on for the case...one screw inside) and remove the entire PS2 unit from the case..Locate the power socket...and the three solder points that make the electrical connections...Apply gentle force to the socket while heating the two outer connections with your soldering gun...back and forth / first one then the other until you can move the back end of the plug slightly away from the board. Once you do that you will see a small factory hole in the socket housing...insert a pointed object into that hold and apply pressure to the back side of the metal clip that contacts the power plug...not too much force..just enough to bend it back to a position where it will make contact. You can check the conntection by plugging the power plug back into the socket. When the red power light comes on...without going on and off with slight movement of the power plug...then the strip is sufficiently repositioned so that it should work when the unit is reassembled...

10.3-2 Trafficking in Personal Identifying Information -- § 53a-129e
Revised to December 1, 2007
The defendant is charged [in count __] with trafficking in personal identifying information. The statute defining this offense reads in pertinent part as follows:
a person is guilty of trafficking in personal identifying information when such person sells, gives or otherwise transfers personal identifying information of another person to a third person knowing that such information has been obtained without the authorization of such other person and that such third person intends to use such information for an unlawful purpose.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, the state must prove the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
Element 1 -
Sold/gave/transferred personal identifying information
The first element is that the defendant (sold / gave / transferred) personal identifying information to another person. "Personal identifying information" means any name, number or other information that may be used, alone or in conjunction with any other information, to identify a specific individual including, but not limited to, such individual's name, date of birth, mother's maiden name, motor vehicle operator's license number, Social Security number, employee identification number, employer or taxpayer identification number, alien registration number, government passport number, health insurance identification number, demand deposit account number, savings account number, credit card number, debit card number or unique biometric data such as fingerprint, voice print, retina or iris image, or other unique physical representation.
Element 2 - Not authorized
The second element is that the defendant knew that the information had been obtained without the authorization of the person whose identifying information it was. A person acts "knowingly" with respect to conduct or circumstances when (he/she) is aware that (his/her) conduct is of such nature or that such circumstances exist. <See Knowledge, Instruction 2.3-3.>
The third element is that the defendant knew that the third person intended to use the information for unlawful purposes. An unlawful purpose is anything that is prohibited by law. <Insert specific allegations.>
In summary, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant 1) (sold / gave / transferred) personal identifying information to another person, 2) (he/she) knew that the identifying information had been obtained without authorization, and 3) (he/she) knew that the person to whom the information was transferred intended to use it for unlawful purposes.
If you unanimously find that the state
has proved beyond a reasonable doubt each of the elements of the crime of
trafficking in personal identifying information, then you shall find the
defendant guilty. On the other hand, if you unanimously find that the state has
failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt any of the elements, you shall then
find the defendant not guilty.

When "Jerry and Charlotte" went house hunting almost a decade ago, they initially envisioned a classic place filled with Old World charm. Instead, they chose a modest ranch-style home in Sunnyvale, built in 1957.
"It wasn't the look we were initially hoping for," says Jerry (the couple requested that their real names not be published), "but tastes change, and the clean lines definitely grew on us."
Eventually, though, the pair wearied of "quirks" such as condensation on the single-pane windows whenever the weather turned cold or rainy, and a perpetually chilly corner in the three-bedroom, two-bath house where mold was discovered. Moreover, the noninsulated walls and a poorly designed fireplace leaked warmth. The heating system was in constant use, drying the air and stirring up dust.
Other factors fueled the couple's desire to make some changes. Charlotte, an excellent cook, yearned for an updated kitchen with more storage space. The master bath needed a makeover, too.
Clearly, changes were needed.
At about the time this realization set in some two years ago, Jerry had been exploring information about "passive houses," which incorporate an extremely energy-efficient construction concept and building standard, in which living comfort, air quality and durability are paramount.
'Conscious building'
The first passive houses were built in Germany in 1990. About 25,000 certified structures are now found in Europe, but only relatively few exist in the United States. According to Passive House California (http://passivehousecal.org), an organization formed to educate the public about passive homes, roughly 40 such residences (both certified and uncertified) have been built in the greater Bay Area.
"The principles on airtightness, super insulation, how it all fits together as a system -- the idea really clicked with me," says Jerry, who pored over websites such as www.passivehousecal.org to learn all he could. "You'd think in the Bay Area there would be a good concentration of this kind of forward-thinking, conscious building, but the number is still very small."
Jerry's research led him to San Jose-based One Sky Homes (oneskyhomes.com). Owned by licensed contractor Allen Gilliland, the business designs and builds high-performance (including net-zero-energy) homes, and does "whole-house" remodels. So far though, One Sky has completed only a single whole-house remodel, Jerry and Charlotte's.
"The marketplace doesn't exist because (passive houses are) so new, so revolutionary (here)," Gilliland says. "It's in its infancy. Nine out of 10 people have no clue what it is."
Gilliland contends that "standard construction is stupid because it's energy inefficient, with poor comfort levels and durability. What you're doing (with a passive house) is optimizing the passive thermal energy flows in a building." He adds that, in many cases, the cost difference for a passive home is only 5 to 10 percent higher than for standard construction.
That optimization requires, among other things, designing with the sun in mind, engineering shading and using software to model the building.
Jerry, an engineer, liked that approach. "We're always designing products and prototyping them on computers -- virtually prototyping them -- and making adjustments before we ever make a physical object," he says. "If we're doing this with consumer products, why aren't we doing this with buildings?"
Gilliland, who speaks with the passion of an evangelist, was delighted to find these like-minded homeowners from Sunnyvale. They agreed to a nine-month project in which One Sky Homes would demolish their residence to the studs, then rebuild it to passive standards.
The couple and their two small children stayed with "gracious friends" during the retrofit. Among the basic improvements: deep insulation in both the new roof and newly reinforced walls, triple-pane windows, more natural light and a more open plan for the living area.
In addition, the kitchen was expanded. It now boasts an 8-foot island with seating, as well as floating cabinets and storage space, which serve as a room divider.
A pair of windows added opposite the kitchen stretch almost floor to ceiling. They augment several sliding windows that visually extend the living room into the backyard. The master bath was updated and the inefficient fireplace removed. Gilliland describes the home's fresh look as "a modern European transitional aesthetic."
All this was accomplished without altering the original footprint, which covered 1,650-square-feet of ground.
Jerry proudly points out that many items -- from lighting fixtures to kitchen stools to a range hood ("a steal from eBay!") -- were his own finds online.
But the real triumph for everyone involved, they say, is how the remodel has enhanced the home's overall comfort levels. As Gilliland notes on the One Sky website: "We insulated every square inch of this home, upgraded the windows, carefully sealed the leaky envelope and added a heat-recovery ventilation system that delivers fresh, filtered air to each room in the home 24/7/365."
Notable differences
For Jerry, the difference was apparent as soon as they moved back into the updated home in April. "It was super comfortable inside," he says referring to the easily controlled temperature and constantly cleansed air. "My allergies were better. A friend who has allergies worse than mine was at one of our dinner parties and, within 15 minutes of being indoors, wasn't suffering reactions at all."
Says Gilliland, "The starting point of high-performance buildings is to make them more energy efficient, but in the process you end up improving all these other characteristics. The house will last a hundred years. Air quality is probably No. 1, then thermal energy and low maintenance. Plus it's comfortable and quiet."
To do its part in growing the industry, One Sky Homes has partnered with the U.S. Department of Energy's Building America program, whose aim is to bring building innovations to market. And Jerry and Charlotte have agreed to let their house be monitored, so temporary thermometers were placed in every room; there are also meters for tracking gas and electricity usage.
"The numbers are going to show the reduction in energy being used is massive -- about 90 percent for this space -- while at the same time with vastly improved air quality," Gilliland predicts.
So what price for comfort and hyper-efficiency?
"Think in terms of roughly 10 percent incremental investment up front -- for more insulation, better ventilation systems, etc. -- all of which over time are helping offset that difference by lowering the cost of running your building," Gilliland says. He adds, "You cannot make the case for 'deep energy retrofits,' as they are often called, on the simple payback math of annual energy bill savings. Rather, you need to include the value of the other building performance criteria over the life cycle of the building."
An affordable option
Jerry says, "I've figured that for all costs for basically a full tear-down and rebuild -- including stuff we bought, such as appliances, lighting, plumbing fixtures, hardware, installations, permits, etc. -- we kept it below $250 per square foot. If we had not opted for higher-end (or) custom trims, cabinets, etc., I think costs would have been in the range of $220 per square foot." In other words, the total for upgrading and making their home passive came in at roughly $412,000.
Gilliland adds, "The documented incremental cost above standard building code level for full passive house performance measures was 5 percent, or $21,000," on this project.
For comparison, One Sky also built the first certified Zero-Energy Home in the state last year. In February 2013, that four-bed, four-bath house in the Willow Glen section of San Jose sold for $1.76 million.
When Jerry and Charlotte are asked if they would have done anything differently, now that they've lived in the passive house for just over nine months, Jerry says, "I would have liked the retrofit to have gone faster, but no. There wasn't much choice on the time frame. ... Allen and I saw eye-to-eye on that. You just can't do this kind of project piecemeal."

News 12 First at Five / Wednesday, Jan. 30, 2013
COLUMBIA COUNTY, Ga. (WRDW) -- A judge sentenced a 21-year-old to prison for involuntary manslaughter on Wednesday.
The charges stem from a fight that broke out back in March of 2011. Jamie Gillete, 19, was working the door at a birthday party at the Belair Conference Center when a fight broke out in the parking lot. He was shot and killed in the crossfire.
The family says today's sentencing brings closure, but it also brings back a lot of painful memories.
"He's gone and don't have anybody anymore, a child to go and hug and love," Michelle Baker said.
It's been nearly two years since her only child was shot and killed.
"I'm sad, but it's some sort of closure," Baker said.
A judge convicted Johndrick Barnes of involuntary manslaughter. The sentence made the nightmare real for his mother, Kesia Sampson.
"Hearing the detective calling me and saying my son been charged with murder? And he ain't ever been in trouble in his life before? I dropped to my knees," Sampson said.
Both families say it's been a tough couple of years.
"I was so jittery and nervous and sad and crying and praying at the same time," Sampson said.
"When it first happened, I just kind of laid in bed all the time, didn't want to do anything," Baker said.
But, she and her family quickly realized that wasn't helping anyone, which is why they started the group, Saving Our Students, to help spread the word about gun violence.
"When we talk to the kids, I always hold up his picture and tell them, this is all I have left is just a picture of my son. Is this what you want for your family?" she said.
Wednesday was a big step towards healing for both families, as they resolved to work together to bring some good out of this tragedy.
Annetta Mills, the victim's aunt, says, "Our two families have come together, we're here at the courthouse together, we've hugged each other, and I believe I have a new family that's gonna join CSRA Saving Our Students."
S.O.S. will be speaking at Cross Creek High School Thursday night, and Barnes' family says they will be there to speak as well.
As for Barnes, the judge sentenced him to five years in prison and two years of probation, but part of the probation will include speaking to kids about his experience.

The Marietta City Board of Education accepted the resignation of an employee under investigation during a special meeting Monday.
Barbara Mincks, assistant treasurer and EMIS coordinator, submitted a letter of resignation to the district, which was approved by a 5-0 vote. The letter simply said she was resigning "effective immediately" and did not reference the investigations by the auditor of state's office and Marietta Police Department into the possible theft of public funds that led to her being placed on paid administrative leave last week.
"We gave Mrs. Mincks the opportunity to come and meet with us today, through her attorney," said board President Greg Gault. "She declined to take advantage of that opportunity today."
Contacted after Monday's meeting, Mincks' attorney, Rolf Baumgartel, said his client tendered her resignation because it would be easier for the school district than going through the process to terminate her, if that course of action was taken.
"It's a problem that the school district doesn't have to deal with anymore," he said.
Baumgartel said, it is too early to comment.
The district was notified Wednesday that the auditor's office had found information indicating Mincks had manipulated and falsified records in a way that suggested "a theft of public funds had occurred."
Brittany Elking, spokeswoman for the auditor's office, said the discovery was made in the course of the regular financial audit of the district, but that additional information could not be released because the investigation is ongoing. That stance was echoed by city police and district officials last week and on Monday.
Mincks worked for the district as assistant treasurer for 28 years, with a current annual salary of $37,000. A review of her personnel file Monday showed no prior criminal record and positive remarks on evaluations.

Since the mid-1900s, plasma cutting has become a very popular and effective style cutting. Plasma cutting is effective because it results in a cleaner and faster cutting process. The Plasma system's power supply comes from converting AC voltage into a more constant DC voltage. The DC voltage keeps the plasma arc throughout the cutting process. The spark produced inside the plasma torch that makes the plasma arc comes from the "Arc Starting Console." This Arc Starting Console creates the AC voltage to produce the spark. The cooling of the consumables and proper alignment comes from the plasma torch. The plasma torch gives you the precise cut needed for the job.
Plasma Cutting can be performed on stainless steel, mild steel or aluminum. Plasma cutting skips the oxidation process, thus allowing an easy cut through conductive materials. Plasma cutting is convenient because it does not require compressed oxygen and fuel gas. Plasma cutting is great for the weekend warriors as it is a faster and efficient cutting process.
Plasma Cutting can be used to cut steel, preferably thin material. It can be used with heavy or regular industrial applications. Many plasma cutters are used on construction sites and with small parts fabrication.
Welding Supplies from IOC carries wide variety of brand-name plasma cutters. Choose from Miller, Lincoln and Thermal Dynamics to find a plasma cutter to fit your cutting job. With Welding Supplies from IOC's wide selection of plasma cutters, you will find only the very best, highest-quality plasma cutter to give you the most precise cut every time.
If you are looking for premium, heavy duty plasma cutter, look no further than the Thermal Dynamics Cutmaster A120 Plasma Cutter with Machine Torch brought to you by Welding Supplies from IOC. This top-notch Plasma Cutter is unmatched among automated Cutmaster systems. It brings SureLok Electrode Technology, total gas management and superior quality at all amperages.

Exciting New Medicines Bode Well for Future Innovation
Exciting New Medicines Bode Well for Future Innovation
02.11.13 | By Rick Smith
One of the most exciting stories of 2012 came at the very end of the year with the announcement that the FDA had approved 39 new medicines - a 16 year record high. Working in an industry whose mission is to help patients, this is gratifying. These medicines offer new hope for patients suffering from diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, colorectal cancer, and Cushing's disease.
The high number of approvals reflects a robust research ecosystem and a thriving biopharmaceutical pipeline.
In our Rx Minute newsletter we highlight just one example of the fast-paced science that is enabling cutting-edge biopharmaceutical research: a recent study has unveiled the genetic mechanisms of a particularly challenging form of cancer-known as triple-negative breast cancer. This type of cancer does not have any of the three main genetic markers that indicate the cancer will respond to available targeted treatments. For many of these patients the prognosis is grim with existing treatment methods. The new study identified five new genetic markers that hold promise for developing new medicines for triple negative breast cancer or for using existing treatments which are known to have an impact on these genetic pathways.
Research like this makes innovative biopharmaceutical research possible. As we have highlighted on this blog, PhRMA recently released two reports on drugs in the development pipeline. The reports indicate that researchers are pursuing more than 3,000 projects for cancer, many of which are building on research like this. Of the compounds encompassed in that total 80% are potentially first-in-class medicines which use a mechanism of action different from any medicine currently available to patients. First-in-class drugs are not the only innovative medicines, important clinical advances often come from medicines that are later in class. But this finding indicates a remarkably high proportion of unique approaches.
The medicines approved in 2012 represent the fruits of many years of research. Looking at the steady stream of important basic research findings and the diverse, robust pipeline of new medicines, I look forward to even greater progress in 2013 and beyond.

Education and Training
ESO's education and training programmes take a variety of forms.
- Through its Student, Fellowship and Associate Programmes, ESO has contributed to the training of large numbers of young scientists and engineers over the years. After spending some time at ESO engaged in cutting-edge research or developing some of the world's most advanced astronomical facilities, these people leave the Organisation, taking with them their accumulated professional experience. These benefits not only their future careers, but also stimulates the research in their home institutions and helps to improve the competitiveness of Europe's industries.
- In 2003, for example, ESO employed 32 Students, 33 Fellows and 56 Associates under these programmes.
- ESO has organised, either alone or with other institutions, many seminars, workshops and summer schools on diverse scientific topics as well as on technical fields such as adaptive optics and optics. These events also help to develop the scientific and technical competencies within industry and scientific institutions in the Member States.
- Through its education and Public Outreach Department, ESO provides much information on ESO's activities and projects, as well as general information on astronomy. The main recipients of this material are schools, the media, and countless private visitors to the ESO web-site. The extent of the reach of ESO's web-site was evident during the 2004 Venus Transit which attracted some 54 million hits over an 8-hour period and delivered 1.75 Terabytes of data to the public and media.
- A further instance of Technology Transfer through training is the professional experience gained by ESO staff through their employment at ESO. By working on projects that often press the limits of technical possibilities, ESO staff acquire a unique experience that is later transferred to industry and institutes when they leave the Organisation.

Treasury Department Prepares New Refinance Push
LAS VEGAS–A top Obama administration housing official said the administration would renew its push to expand refinancing options for underwater homeowners during a speech at an industry and investor conference in Las Vegas on Tuesday.
Michael Stegman, a senior housing adviser at the Treasury Department, said that the administration would reintroduce legislation to make those changes but that it would also implement them administratively if Congress didn't get on board.
More than 1.8 million homeowners whose mortgages are backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have used an existing program first launched four years ago, the Home Affordable Refinance Program or HARP, to drop their interest rates even if they have less than the 20% equity cushion typically required to refinance.
Hundreds of thousands of those borrowers have no equity and have refinanced since the program was overhauled one year ago.
A new proposal made by President Barack Obama one year ago to extend the plan to borrowers without government backed loans was introduced in the Senate but didn't go anywhere. It would have allowed underwater borrowers to refinance into loans backed by the Federal Housing Administration.
"Legislation that gives these high-interest borrowers … the ability to refinance into lower-cost loans could be especially impactful," Mr. Stegman said. "A substantial portion of these loans–approximately 30%–are higher-risk, interest-only or balloon loans that could pose a greater risk of default."
Mr. Stegman didn't elaborate on how such a program might be structured. Last month, The Wall Street Journal reported that the administration, together with the federal regulator for Fannie and Freddie, was considering legislation to allow the government-backed loan giants to purchase those loans.
Because such a move would transfer billions of dollars of these mortgages to the government-backed mortgage companies, it would require congressional authorization to temporarily change Fannie's and Freddie's charters. Under the proposal, Fannie and Freddie would be allowed to charge higher rates to borrowers in order to compensate for the risk of guaranteeing refinanced loans that are underwater and more likely to result in default. Some economists argue that those borrowers could be relatively good credit risks because they have been paying their mortgages through the financial crisis, but industry officials have said Fannie and Freddie don't have a good track record setting risk-based pricing.
A second proposal under discussion by the administration would reduce rates for underwater borrowers through mortgage modifications. The proposal wouldn't require legislation, and would allow borrowers to qualify for a reduced rate under the existing Home Affordable Modification Program, or HAMP.
Currently, homeowners can have their loans reworked through HAMP only if their mortgage company deems that they are at "imminent" risk of defaulting. The new proposal would redefine "imminent default" to include borrowers who are deeply underwater.
"To be the most effective, as well as address investor concerns, the legislative route would be preferable to using existing [HAMP] authority," said Mr. Stegman.
"Legislation would facilitate a refinance, whereas under our existing authority, Treasury could only modify the most deeply underwater loans and pay investors for some amount of forgone interest."

Encore: Amazing Grace, GTBTGood Times Bad Times
[1] Acoustic.
[2] Phish debut.
· Call to the Post tease
Noteworthy Jams: Run Like an Antelope
Average Song Gap: 5.32
Performers: Trey Anastasio, Page McConnell, Jon Fishman, Mike Gordon
Notes: Trey teased Call to the Post before My Friend and Antelope before Horn. This show was the beginning of the Band/Audience Chess Match that continued throughout the fall tour. Page and a tour-head named "Pooh" played a few moves to set up the board during the White Rabbit jam in the first set. Suspicious Minds made its Phish debut. I'm Blue I'm Lonesome was dedicated to Jerry Garcia and was acoustic.
Song Distribution:
3 Stash
3 Hoist
2 Rift
2 Lawn Boy
1 Billy Breathes
1 A Picture of Nectar
1 The White Tape
Songs by Debut Year:
This show was part of the "1995 Fall Tour."
The second set begins with 3 well-played songs, and the Scent of a Mule in the middle of the set features some significant improvisation. Mike's Song is average, but the segue into Keyboard Army is pretty good, and Weekapaug ends with another segue into the debut of Suspicious Minds.
This show comes off as completely average in just about every way, but it is not a bad show. 3 stars for sure.
Shoreline, unlike the first three venues of Fall tour, is a traditional outdoor shed with a pavilion and a lawn. While I was on the lawn for the Dead I was in the pavilion for Phish.
Trey teased Call to the Post prior to the set opening My Friend My Friend. This song perfectly highlights the yin and yang of Phish. The 4th consecutive Cars Trucks Buses starts underneath the ending screams. One can't help but groove along with this song while Page displays his talents.
Trey welcomes everyone to Shoreline and explains why there is a chess board at the back of stage Page-side. The band plays a lot chess on the bus and people kept asking when can we play some chess. So they decided to play the audience in chess during this tour. They chose to start the game in SF because there are so many incredible chess players living there. White Rabbit fits the mood appropriately. Page and fan Pooh start the game with a few moves each. Going forward, the audience will decide their move at setbreak and make it at the start of the second set while the band will make their move at the start of the first set.
Reba was the perfect call to get the show back on track. The composed section is played much faster than normal and has a manic pace. The jam is full of activity; soon after starting it strays nicely away from the groove for a little while before coming around to a screaming finish. Uncle Pen follows and keeps the mood upbeat. Soon after the song ends Trey starts Antelope and just as Fishman starts his hi-hat intro Trey aborts into Horn. Obviously they had a game plan and in hindsight it made sense. I enjoyed hearing Horn as we only got one during the 22-show Summer Tour.
Run Like An Antelope starts up again and gets past the 10 second mark The intro doesnt depart from the norm and jam moves along strongly. It reaches a chaotic segment where the band stretches a little before picking things up to close out the jam. The ending segment/chorus is typical.
The band comes to the front of the stage to play an acoustic song. Trey says "We wanted to send this one out. This is the last place, that personally myself and I know two other guys in the band, saw Jerry alive and we thought this would be a good opportunity to play one of his favorite songs 'cause I know he's up there listening. This is for you Jerry!" They play Blue and Lonesome for the first time since the 1st MSG show during the 94 Holiday Run (28-show gap). They close the first set on a high note with Sample In Jar. While the set was less than hour a lot of interesting things happened.
Runaway Jim opens the second set and Trey implores some scratching effects in between verses. The jam doesnt get out of hand and gets fiery toward the end of the song. The Fog That Surrounds comes next and Trey plays some intricate riffs. Another solid version.
If I Could is up next and nicely fills the ballad role albeit a little early in the set. This would be the 1st of four versions played during Fall Tour before the song became somewhat of a rarity, which is a shame. Scent Of A Mule comes rolling in and the duel is entertaining; Page wins!
Finally we get the first Mikes Song of tour. The first jam is sinister while the second jam ends up plodding along until Page starts playing Keyboard Army. Upon conclusion Mike initiates the start of Weekapaug Groove. The jam is more of a full band groove with little Trey soloing.
Toward the end of the song Trey moves to the drum kit and Fishman emerges wearing a cape to sing Suspicious Minds. The night before Fish debuted Cryin which was hilarious. But this song was light years better. Hence why it stayed in rotation. The best part was he ran around a bit then stopped at the front of the stage in dramatic fashion to open his cape and expose the lights on the inside. Of course the band played Hold Your Head Up to end the shenanigans and slickly dropped into Cavern without stopping to close the set.
The encore began fittingly with Amazing Grace and closed with a rocking Good Times Bad Times. Page thanks the crowd and wishes Trey Happy Birthday. All in all a great night, and a fine finish to a 4-show CA trek to start Fall Tour.
The next two shows would take place at Seattles newly renovated Key Arena. Fortunately we had Sunday off to complete the roughly 14-hour drive. As most of us know the vibe differs between outdoor and indoor shows; both have their perks and their drawbacks. Shoreline was the second to last outdoor show of Fall Tour; Compton Terrace 10/11/95 was the last. I was excited for some indoor Phish!

Does Fab know where Walcott is likely to be plying his trade come Feb? and who is likely to replace dear little Theo? Wenger has never been a fan of Jan, will his hand be forced?

Even in tonight's game he was pretty anonymous for much of the time. True, he took his chance well, but should never have been given that space through the middle. His little lob-wedge onto VanPussy's head was very good, but that was it.

He scored beauty and set up a beauty and he had opportunities to score again and made opportunities for other sto score John.
What more could you ask?
I bet your face was a picture when he slipped in the first.
1 good game in 10 doesnt prove anything fab.
do u honestly still not realise the main reason he was effective was because of our over attacking midfield?!
he doesnt have any impact against teams like utd who defend properly & have a balanced midfield.
walcott has been very average this season & u know it.
i dont think he will be too pleased with his overall performance this season.

Walcott has been a wonderful player this season when able to play on the whole.
I think the only dissapointment for the lad is not having played more often.
For the type of player he is he is without doubt the best England has on offer today.

Top Strategic Drivers to Success in an Unpredictable, Changing World
By Melissa Centurio Lopes on Aug 29, 2013
Whether they are in the power or process industry, owners, operators, and their E&C partners face extraordinary demands in the next 20 years. The International Energy Agency (IEA) 2012 World Market Report estimates that a cumulative investment of US$37 trillion is needed in the world's energy supply system by 2035.1 Of that investment, US$19 trillion will need to go to oil and gas facilities and infrastructure and US$17 trillion to meet generation, transmission, and distribution needs with the remaining targeted at other energy solutions.
The $19 trillion in oil and gas investments is expected to span the globe from U.S. shale and Canadian oil sands to Iraq's new oil fields and Brazil's deepwater drilling. IEA also points out that the current energy renaissance in the U.S. will have significant implications for energy markets and trade. By 2030, the U.S. should be self-sufficient in net energy needs and a net oil exporter because of its increased production of oil, shale gas, and bioenergy as well as improved fuel transport efficiency. As a consequence of the U.S. shift, international oil owners will place more emphasis on Asian markets and strategic links to the Middle East. Utilities face unprecedented pressures, as well, given IEA's estimating $17 trillion investment in power infrastructure. Global electricity demand is expected to increase over 70% by 2035, according to IEA, with over half that demand from China and India. As well, electric utilities in the U.S. are expected to invest at least $51.1 billion in transmission projects through 2023.2 The Edison Electric Institute (EEI) estimates that more than three-quarters of the $51.1 billion will be used to support the integration of renewable resources in an effort to meet growing demand, relieve congestion, improve reliability, and support new generation sources to power grids.
Whether owner, developer, utility, or E&C company, success in the current and emerging environment will most certainly depend on an organization's cost control, operational efficiency, and risk mitigation—read the full article in Engineering News Record's (ENR) 2nd edition of the Construction Connection digital magazine to discover why.
