What was that about? It must have happened after we got done with our round and you and Joe went back to walk around with the rest of the DSM crew.
I was talking about Joe and Dave jabbing each other after the round about Dave saying he was a B player and tied an A player and then Joe told him that he would play him any course any time for 20 bucks, it was pretty funny

Free Shipping on Interchangeable Needle Kits in our Shop!
Check out the Updated KnittingHelp.com iPhone App!
It IS possible to increase so much so fast that it becomes impossible to knit in Magic Loop.
If you skip an "interval" in your decreases, you won't wind up with the number of stitches you expected to.
Plymouth Select Superwash Merino rocks! But knitting two strands of it, you should probably use needles larger than a US 9.
If you work two strands together, you can do the easiest increase known to knitdom and it's virtually invisible. Just knit each strand in the stitch and you get a 2:1 increase with the only additional effort being an extra knit stitch. And you can't see it! (No, seriously, look!) Okay, you can see that there is an increase, but it doesn't leave a mark.

SANTA CLARA — Just as Candlestick Park's nationally-televised blackout helped seal the San Francisco 49ers move south, Sunday's lights-out delay in the Superdome gave Silicon Valley another reason to tout that it literally has the power to host the 50th Super Bowl.
The blackout in New Orleans was still largely a mystery Monday, explained only by an unidentified equipment failure that interrupted the nation's most popular TV event for 34 minutes.
It comes as the Bay Area is locked in a high-stakes battle with South Florida to land Super Bowl L in 2016 at the 49ers' new stadium rising in Santa Clara, which boasts its own power plant and electricity service. Local leaders say there's no doubt that the normally unsexy topic of electrical utilities will be at the front of NFL team owners' minds when they pick a winner in May.
"I'm sure we will have talks with the NFL about it, and I'm sure our bid will highlight all the things we can do to make sure that is something that will not happen" here, Daniel Lurie, the head of the Bay Area's Super Bowl bid committee, said before boarding a plane back from New Orleans.
Santa Clara city spokesman Dan Beerman said simply: "Could this happen at the Santa Clara stadium? The short answer is, 'no.' "
The Niners' $1.2 billion stadium, which team owner Jed York has regularly called the "smartest" in the NFL, will be powered by two new electrical substations near the stadium adjacent to the Great America theme park.
Similar substations routinely feed electricity to major companies such as Intel and Yahoo, which require much more power than an NFL stadium and have gone years -- in some cases decades -- without an outage, said officials for Silicon Valley Power, Santa Clara's electrical utility.
Civic officials routinely cite their utility's reliability as a top reason for landing major tech companies such as Applied Materials to build campuses there. The utilities in the commercial district, near the stadium, are underground, reducing potential problems.
Only one substation is needed to power the 68,500-seat stadium, but if one fails, a second one nearby will automatically switch on, said the utility's customer services manager, Larry Owens. If both of them fail, a manual switch can trigger a third power source.
The 49ers also have teamed with NRG Energy to install solar panels atop the suite tower and on top of three bridges leading from the parking lot to the stadium, which will provide extra energy.
Still, an outage could occur, Owens acknowledged. The automatic switch to another power source means the stadium lights can come back on quicker than it took during the roughly half-hour delays at the Superdome and Candlestick, Owens said.
NFL owners on May 21 will meet to select either the Santa Clara stadium or Sun Life stadium near Miami, where the Dolphins play, to host Super Bowl L in 2016, with the loser competing with Houston for the following Super Bowl.
The NFL requires host cities to submit specifications outlining the stadium's electrical capacity, backup measures to prevent power outages and a recovery plan to get the lights back on in the event of a failure.
A league spokesman did not return messages seeking further comment, though Commissioner Roger Goodell said Monday the league anticipates returning for a Super Bowl in New Orleans despite the mishap.
New Orleans officials said Monday they have ruled out Beyonce's half-time show and excessive power demand inside the Superdome as potential causes of the delay.
Last February, the NFL awarded the Santa Clara stadium $200 million in financing, guaranteeing the start of construction, just two months after two embarrassing blackouts at Candlestick Park during a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football.
Owens said that city and team officials and engineers will again analyze various "what-if" scenarios, as it did after the Candlestick outages, in the wake of the Superdome power failure to make sure its system is "robust."
Yet what Silicon Valley has in technology, South Florida has in experience, said Rodney Barreto, head of the Miami Super Bowl bid committee. He noted the region has hosted 10 previous Super Bowls, and has not suffered any power outages during any of the games.
"We've been there, done that; we're proven," Barreto said. "This is what we do in South Florida."

Thanks for a great application. It's really close to what I'm trying to find and maybe I just don't know how to configure it to do what I want. Here's my situation...
- I have all my dvd's ripped to ifo/vob on my harddrive (using dvdfab and just pulling out the main movie stream; no menus or extras).
- The movies play on my ps3 served by TVersity with transcoding turned off so I get exactly the same data rate and image quality that I had if I loaded the dvd into my ps3. This is great but I have to set up playlists to concatenate the vobs and there is a delay as it jumps from one vob to the next. Also, I have a few dvd images where for some reason (yet to be figured out) one or more of the vobs in a dvd image won't play.
- With PS3 Mediaserver the whole dvd image always plays but I can't find out how to turn off transcoding, so either I get too high a data rate for my network (wired 100Mbs) or too low a data rate and image suffers.
Is there a way to get PS3 Mediaserver to just serve the dvd image without transcoding?

Maine Medical Center operating at normal levels during storm
Employees who can asked to stay beyond normal shifts
Maine Medical Center says it is operating at normal levels despite the blizzard.
Hospital Emergency Management Director Josh Francis said members of the hospital's security crew who have four-wheel drive are bringing staff to the hospital.
Maine Med also has asked staff who are able to stay beyond their normal work shifts.
The hospital cooked extra food for those employees who stayed the night.
The hospital has also set up a shelter of sorts, with cots, sheets and blankets.
Francis said this is all part of the hospital's emergency plan, which is reviewed every year.
Francis said employees who live in Portland and South Portland have had little trouble getting to work.

Robert Plant knows what the fans want.
They want Led Zeppelin.
This time through town, the British rock legend was willing to oblige them. Plant got the Led out early and often on Saturday night at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley, opening with "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" and then going on to devote roughly half of his 90-minute-plus show to Zeppelin tunes.
Unfortunately, they didn't sound like we remembered them — and if you were expecting that they would then you probably haven't been paying all that much attention to Plant's post-Zeppelin solo career, which began with 1982's "Pictures at Eleven."
Having ignored his old band's songbook for more than a decade, Plant finally began to reclaim his legacy onstage in the mid-'90s. Yet, he's gone about doing it in his own peculiar way, especially in recent years. He's softened the arrangements on many of the Led Zep classics, perhaps in order to make them more palpable for those who caught on to him through 2007's folksy collaboration with Alison Krauss, "Raising Sand."
In Berkeley, some of the re-imagined Zep tunes worked quite well -- usually the ones that, in their original incarnations, were really just folk songs given a metal turbo boost. In that regard, "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" (a tune first made famous by Joan Baez in the early '60s) and "Going to California" (perhaps Led Zep's best power ballad) were both highlights of the show.
Other reworked classics came across as mere oddities, seldom conveying the passion and power of the originals. Indeed, there were times when Plant would run a Led Zep tune through the America/world music blender and the result would be something ripe for a "Saturday Night Live" skit. The worst was "Black Dog," a once magnetic number that was juiced up with West African rhythms to the point where it sounded like an outtake from Paul Simon's "Graceland" sessions.
As expected, the Led Zep covers -- regardless of their strength -- drew some of the biggest responses from the crowd. Fans would clap and cheer whenever they recognized a melody or riff, which -- due to the arrangements -- often took a few moments.
Plant sounded great throughout the night, occasionally even reaching his "golden god" heights of the '70s. His band, dubbed the Sensational Space Shifters, is also terrific and quite agile, convincingly following Plant through folk, blues, rock and other musical terrain.
What's missing, however, is a strong electric rock-guitar presence. I'd gladly trade the synthesized violin and other atypical rock elements for someone who could do a half decent Jimmy Page imitation.
The set list was intriguing enough. Yet, the fact that he ignored so many of his solo hits was quite telling. We got a decent version of "In the Mood," but no "Big Log," "Other Arms," "Heaven Knows" or "Tall Cool One." I guess even an Americana makeover wouldn't transform those '80s hits into something we'd want to hear in 2013.
He also played a handful of covers. I wasn't impressed with the weird take on the Willie Dixon blues standard "Spoonful" (first recorded by Howlin' Wolf in 1960). It started off OK, but lost focus and steam during the jammed-out psychedelic ending. He had better luck during the encore with the traditional tune "Satan, Your Kingdom Must Come Down," which is perhaps best known -- if it's known at all -- by the Uncle Tupelo version.
Plant closed the show on a definite high note, leading his band through a fairly straight-ahead take on the Led Zep classic "Rock and Roll."
And that seemed to be exactly what the fans wanted.

The appearance of visible flakes or glass lamellae in various pharmaceutical products contained in vials has sparked a series of product recalls over the past 18 months and initiated an industrywide conversation about the assessment of glass quality for pharmaceutical applications. Recent FDA communications have recommended that all pharmaceutical companies renew conversations with their suppliers on the topic of glass quality to ensure that patient safety and product quality are not compromised when a glass vial, cartridge, or syringe is the primary packaging component (1).
Several recent studies in the pharmaceutical industry have examined the causes of and factors that influence glass delamination. They recommended analytical tests that can assess the propensity of a pharmaceutical liquid to react with its primary glass container (2–4). Glass delamination, however, is not a new phenomenon. In 1953, Dimbleby recognized the seriousness of glass flakes in pharmaceutical products and prescribed a series of tests that could measure glass durability (5–8). According to Dimbleby, visual inspection to monitor the presence of glass flakes should not be the sole test for assessing glass–product compatibility.
A review of the glass-science literature reveals that the reaction of water and glass has been observed for nearly three centuries and has long been recognized as a problem in the preservation of glass antiquities (9–11). When glass surfaces are exposed to water, the network-forming oxides, such as silicone oxide (i.e., silica), leach from the surface, thus resulting in a glass chemistry that exhibits less resistance to chemical attack. This glass layer, which has different mechanical properties than the bulk substrate, will form flakes and spall (2, 3, 10). Corrosion mechanisms for glass are well identified (12–15). White identified six specific mechanisms of corrosion (15). The mechanism that best describes glass delamination, or weathering, is incongruent dissolution with the formation of noncrystalline layers. During this process, the gel layer of the glass that exists in the presence of water dries out and forms a pattern of cracks.
Currently, visual inspection has been the dominant technique to detect the presence of glass lamellae. The visualization of flakes, however, is the last step in the delamination process. It is a lagging analytical indicator for a chemical incompatibility between the exposed glass surface and its environment. As long ago as 1935, Dimbleby recognized that visual observations of glass flakes were not sufficient. He recommended chemical analysis of the liquid in question for various factors, including alkaline content, dissolved elements from the glass, and shifts in pH. With the development of electron microscopy, surface analytical techniques, and quantitative analytical instrumentation, the titration techniques suggested by Dimbleby have been augmented.

Stillman names Paul Bryant as new director of athletics
Stillman College has selected veteran administrator Paul Bryant to serve as its new director of athletics. Bryant, who has more than 20 years of senior level administration and coaching experience, previously served in the same position at Eureka College (Ill.), where he oversaw 18 intercollegiate teams and recreational sports while serving as the institution's first chief diversity officer.
"Bryant was the unanimous choice for the position," Stillman President Ernest McNealey said. "Mr. Bryant brings a values-based approach to athletics that is consistent with the philosophy of the College."
Byant, who officially begins Sept. 16, says he looks forward to expanding the school's community outreach and bolstering attendance at sporting events. He hopes his efforts will aid in the ongoing push to raise funds for facilities enhancements.
Prior to joining Eureka College, Bryant served as Urbana University's athletics director.
Bryant holds a doctorate of education in athletic administration from Northcentral University (Ariz.), a master's of education from Urbana University (Ohio) and a bachelor's of arts from Alaska Pacific University.__________

Researchers often feel they've proved ancestry because they located family in one or more online trees.

The first term is easy, as original records must be original and not copies. Examples are birth, marriage and death certificates created by attending physicians or officiates, any hand-written or original typed document / letter and first time photographs, which are not scans or reprints.
Derivatives imply that documents came from (e. g., were derived from) other sources. This applies to, but is not limited to, abstracts, articles, scans, copies, transcriptions, family histories, card files and online databases.
Derivatives can establish viable evidence of ancestry, but only
if citations are accessible for examination
if they are not too many steps removed from the original — such as a fact referring to a reference which was not verified (e. g., a copy of a copy of a copy)
Rule of thumb:
Any document, database or citation which is one or more steps removed from the original, must be evaluated as to whether the intermediary author examined the original or a reliable reference referring to the original.
This doesn't mean we should discount all online data. Just treat it as possible leads (not proof), and find source documents for verification. After all, most of us would not be able to pursue so much of our ancestry, without these valuable clues.
Primary vs. Secondary Sources
Primary sources are those created close to the time of an event, assuming the originator had the proper expertise and authority to create it. Some examples are:
birth, marriage and death certificates
artifacts, such as military badges
commemorative plaques
certain ephemera (e. g., playbills, advertisements)
Secondary sources are all those created after an event, including:
delayed birth registrations
abstracts, summaries, etc.
Some documents have both primary and secondary elements, depending upon the information. For example, a passenger manifest is a primary document in regards to the details of the voyage, but a secondary source for birth dates, addresses, etc. The same issue relates to birth dates on tombstones, which are always secondary. And depending upon when the monument was erected (or replaced), a death date can be secondary.
Diaries, whereby events were recorded on a day by day basis, are considered primary, but an author's memory of the past is secondary.
And a dilemma exists in regard to Bible records, whereby the author and date of the entry is uncertain. As a result, many lineage societies note whether a title page with publication date is available, and whether the handwriting and ink changes from item to item.
One might think that original documents are always primary sources – and that derivatives are always secondary. But in reality, it is possible for either type to be primary or secondary. For example,
A hand-written letter discussing family births is an original document, but the source is secondary, since it occurred after the original events.
A film created of an original document (such as those made by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) is a derivative treated as a primary source, since the copy is a reliable representation of the original.
Preponderance of the Evidence vs. the Genealogical Proof Standard
The final step in proving ancestry lies in the Genealogical Proof Standard (GPS).
Until recently, researchers cited evidence based upon the legal principle of preponderance of the evidence – meaning that if definitive proof documents could not be located, and if all evidence pointed in the right direction, then a lineage or relationship was accepted as true.
But there are numerous examples of why this might not be true. In my own ancestry, there were three William Harrells, recorded on early census records in Wythe Co., Virginia. A logical assumption might be that they were kin, given that they shared names and lived in the same vicinity. But DNA studies imply that they share a more distant relationship, despite the preponderance of the evidence.
Although certification is not a requirement for proving ancestry, you may wish to review the five elements of the GPS, established by the Board for Certification of Genealogists (BCG). They recommend that a strong genealogical proof should include:
a reasonably exhaustive search;
complete and accurate source citations;
analysis and correlation of the collected information;
resolution of any conflicting evidence; and
a soundly reasoned, coherently written conclusion.
As you search through records on RootsWeb, and other sites, keep in mind that you can't be sure of the information until you have seen the evidence. Happy sleuthing!

InSync12 and Australia Visits: UX is Global, Regional, Everywhere!
By Ultan O'Broin Oracle UX-Oracle Paas4SaaS-Oracle on Aug 27, 2012
I attended the Australian Oracle User Group (AUSOUG) and Quest International User Group's InSync12 event in Melbourne, Australia: the user group conference for Oracle products in the ANZ region. I demoed Oracle Fusion Applications and then presented how Oracle crafted the world class Fusion Apps user experience (UX). I explained about the Oracle user experience design pattern strategy of uptake for all apps, not just Fusion, and what our UX pattern externalization strategy means for customers, partners, and ADF developers.
A great conference, lots of energy, the InSync12 highlights for me were Oracle's Senior Vice President Cliff Godwin's fast-moving Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) roadshow with the killer Oracle Endeca user experience uptake, and Oracle ADF product outreachmeister Chris Muir's (@chriscmuir) session on Oracle ADF Mobile solution and his hands-on mobile app development showing how existing ADF/JDev skills can build a secure, code once-deploy-to-many-device hybrid app solution in minutes.
Applications UX was mixing it up with the crowd at InSync12 too, showing off cool mobile UX solutions, using iPads to gather feedback on future UX designs and innovations from conference attendees, and engaging with EBS, JD Edwards, and PeopleSoft apps customers and partners. User conferences such as InSync12 are an important part of our Oracle Applications UX user-centered design process, giving real apps users the opportunity to make real inputs and a way for us to watch and to listen to their needs and wants and get views on current and emerging UX too.
While in Melbourne, I also visited impressive Oracle partner, Callista for a major ADF and UX pow-wow, and was the er, star of a very proactive event hosted by another partner Park Lane Information Technology (coordinated by Bambi Price (@bambiprice) of ODTUG) where I explained what UX is about, and how partner and customers can engage, participate and deploy that Applications UX scientific insight to advantage for their entire business.
I also paired up with Oracle Australia in Sydney to visit key customers while there, and back at Oracle in Melbourne I spoke with sales consultants and account managers about regional opportunities and UX strategy, and came away with an understanding of what makes the Oracle market tick in Australia.
Mobile worker solution development and user experience is hot news in Australia, and this was a great opportunity to team up with Chris Muir and show how the alignment of the twin stars of UX design patterns and ADF technology enables developers to make great-looking, usable apps that really sparkle. Our UX design patterns--or functional (UI) patterns, to use the developer world language--means that developers now have not only a great tool set to build apps on Oracle ADF/FMW but proven, tested usability solutions to solve common problems they can apply in the IDE too.
In all, a whirlwind UX visit, packed with events and delivery opportunities, and all too short a time in the wonderful city of Melbourne. I need to get back there soon! For those who need a reminder, there's a website explaining how to get involved with, and participate in, Applications User Experience (including the Oracle Usability Advisory Board) events and programs.
Thank you to AUSOUG, Quest, InSync, Callista, Park Lane IT, everyone at Oracle Australia, Chris Muir, and all the other people who came together to make this a productive visit.
Stay tuned for more UX developments and engagements in the region on the Oracle VoX blog and Usable Apps website too!

I bought enough for a cardigan in 014 Plum, and I was so thrilled with the actual color when I opened the package. I knitted a few swatches, one with a Celtic cable, and it was so wonderful to feel its smooth softness as I knitted it. The cable was crisp but the yarn retained its softness. I need to stock up on more of this beautiful yarn.

I have a beautiful afghan made with this yarn that I received as a gift. I decided to make cashmere blend hats as Christmas gifts. I chose this yarn since I was familiar with it and knew it would survive machine washing on gentle. When it went on sale, I purchased it in four different colours. Oddly, one colour had some small undyed irregularities. Other than that, it is very soft and a real pleasure to knit.

You may have been surprised to see President Obama's smiling face on the cover of Tiger Beat in last week's The New York Times article about the "original teen-girl tabloid." Your surprise was not unwarranted, as the Times admitted today:
A series of pictures last Sunday of covers of the magazine Tiger Beat, with an article about how the original teen-girl tabloid has remained virtually unchanged since its inception in 1965, erroneously included a parody cover, produced by the satiric newspaper The Onion, that featured a picture of President Obama.

MILTON — The new tax rate in Milton has come in with a 2.8 percent increase. The new rate, set by the NH Department of Revenue Administration, is $24.70 which is a 68 cent increase over the 2011 rate.
The town's portion of the tax rate has risen from $6.02 to $6.33 and part of this increase, according to Selectman Bob Bridges, who was acting as town administrator in the wake of Tony Mincu's departure, is due to the first payment being made on the town's new fire truck.
The local school portion of Milton's tax rate has risen from $12.40 to $13.03, while the state's portion has dropped from $2.72 to $2.57.
SAU 64 Business Administrator Andrew D'Agostino said that the increase in the local school tax rate was due, in part, to a cutback in state funding, along with increases in heating costs and health insurance. During the 2012/13 school year, teachers received a pay raise of 0.6 percent, which he described as very modest.
The final component in Milton's new tax rate is the county portion, which has dropped from $2.83 to $2.77.
The town clerk/tax collector will be sending out the new tax bills on Nov. 9 and they will be due by Dec. 10.

With low snowpack levels throughout the county, even small avalanches can be fatal, according to experts.
Since the last storm in the county saw accumulation of around a foot in most areas, avalanche forecasters have set the danger at Level 3: Considerable, meaning triggered avalanches above tree line are likely.
The Colorado Avalanche Information Center recently performed avalanche mitigation work, triggering six small slides in the Seven Sisters area near Loveland Pass; but other avalanche incidents - skier triggered - have been popping up, prompting skiers and riders to be weary of areas above tree line.
Considerable danger means that man-triggered avalanches are likely and big avalanches are likely in some areas, said Brian Lazar, deputy director for CAIC.
The low snowpack levels have contributed to the considerable danger, making small slides more common because of low-lying sugary snow that slides easily.
Lazar said because of low snowpack levels and the inconsistency of the base layer, small slides can be triggered easily.
"We have a very touchy snowpack and we're continuing to receive reports of human-triggered avalanches," Lazar said.
Even though the snow accumulated from the latest storm will likely only be prone to small slides, such avalanches can be fatal, Lazar said.
"Even in small slides, there are terrain features that allow snow to pile up deeply quickly," Lazar said. "If you combine even a small slide with a gully feature, it could pile up enough snow to bury someone."
Small slides can be especially dangerous because of the numerous rocks and tree limbs near the surface of the snow.
"In a small slide, the likelihood of injury or a fatality can be pretty surprising - even a small avalanche can drag someone across the surface of the ground through rocks and whatever debris may be covered up by the light snowfall," Lazar said.
Last year, CAIC received a report of a fatality from an avalanche in backcountry terrain adjacent to Snowmass Mountain. The accident involved a small slide, only 10-15 feet across and only 2 feet deep that ran 25 feet and engulfed a skier.
"It was a pinched-out gully - even a small avalanche, something that size could bury you more than a couple of feet," Lazar said.
Avoiding an incident like that requires careful terrain evaluation and preparation.
Tim Brown, an avalanche forecaster for CAIC, said snow in the forecast over the next week could increase the avalanche danger.
"We're looking at good potential for snow producing avalanches even with a very small load of new snow - we're concerned that as we get more snow the avalanche danger may increase," Brown said. "Right now the ease of triggering an avalanche because of the unsupportive snowpack is imminent, we may start to see larger avalanches triggered more easily."
Avoiding an avalanche comes down to being prepared and evaluating terrain and weather conditions. Brown urges all backcountry recreators to take with them an avalanche rescue beacon, a shovel and a probe.
"More importantly they should take their brains - the best way to avoid a dangerous situation is knowing what the terrain is like and choosing safe routes," Brown said.

It was a magical evening this past Friday night as the It Gets Better tour hit the stage for its west coast premiere. What followed was an emotional night of laughs, tears, beautiful music, amazing performances, and inspirational stories.
These are the stories that happen to a community and to see them brought to life is powerful. In fact, it is the stories that make for the most powerful moments. Sporadically through the show the story pauses, the characters fall away, we meet a cast member and we hear their story. It's these few moments where you realize just how important this type of an event is. These stories make everything real and they will touch the audience in a way that not much else can because they are real experiences and the pain and sadness that they experienced comes through and it hits home.
Eyes will be opened by this show and it is extremely important to get as many eyes as possible on it.
But don't worry it's not all sad stories and tears. This show packs a lot of laughs and it mixes the emotions and the laughs brilliantly.
That brilliant mixture comes not only from the well written script courtesy of Liesel Reinhhart, but also from the stellar cast: Tyler Houston, Jason Currie, Tod Macofsky, Mario Mosley, Sacha Sacket, and Drew Tablak. They all embodied their characters and brought them to life flawlessly. These are brave brave performances, especially for those that had the chance to tell their own stories, many of which had me in tears. Of course by the end of this show I was in tears anyway.
Every cast member delivered brilliantly. I can't single one out because they were all great. What I can say is that I was shocked by Drew Tablak. His story was one we haven't heard much of and it was riveting and then he sang and I was just in awe. I just wasn't expecting it and it was magic.
There are two more scheduled performances for this tour and I can only hope that more is added and they hit many many more cities. This is a show that must be seen. The message is so important. If just one persons heart or mind can be swayed then it's a success but I think that many many minds will be changed and many hearts touched by the beautiful songs, amazing performances, and personal stories that the It Gets Better tour is delivering.
If you get the chance, take everyone you can to experience this incredible show.

For my brother Steve....
Cancer is one of those diseases that does not respect age. It if did, it would only affect the elderly and it would leave the little children, teenagers, nursing mothers, middle aged cougars (cough.. cough) and newly retired folks alone.
Here's how it's supposed to go down. You're born. You toddle and tyke and pee your pants. You go to school.... 12 or more years. You marry (or not) You find your niche in the working world. You curse and swear yourself through those WAY TOO LONG WORKING YEARS. And then? Oh man.... it's heaven on earth, spelled R-E-T-I-R-E-M-E-N-T. And for those of us who wear wine-soaked rose colored glasses, we assume that those retirement years are meant to be spent in bliss. Travel. Grandchildren... Great-grandchildren if you were a early procreator (you know who you are.)
I lost my oldest brother Steve to melanoma today. Melanoma.... I laughed at your supposed danger. You're only skin cancer, you little freak. Melanoma I hate you. You deceived me and the sunscreen I wore forever. You don't give a rat's ass who you attack or how you metastasize through lungs and brains. You suck.
Breast cancer... listen up bitch. You're a pussy. I AM NOT going to go through what my brother went through. You can just SUCK IT. Find some 95 year old woman to affect..... or better yet, just die off yourself. You're not wanted here. CANCER, WE FREAKING HATE YOU.
Steve's obituary can be found here: http://www.leppertmortuary.com/services.aspx?ID=1638

I am so very sorry for your loss. I found a video just yesterday that can save so many lives from being lost to melanoma. I sent the link to all of my family, friends, and acquaintances. I hope everyone who reads your blog will send this link to their families and friends. If Steve had known this at 16....you would probably still have him. It's not too late for your children and grandchildren, and of course, you. Some forms of cancer are preventable, and melanoma is one of them.

The demolition of a landmark but seismically unsafe building on a San Francisco Bay Area college campus is giving researchers a unique opportunity to study the nearby Hayward Fault.
When 13-story Warren Hall is imploded by demolition experts this weekend on the Hayward campus of California State University, East Bay, U.S. Geological Survey scientists will monitor the pulse of energy on nearly 600 seismometers temporarily placed in a two-mile radius around the building with help from hundreds of citizen-scientist hosts and volunteers. Observing the paths taken by this pulse of seismic energy through the ground underlying the Hayward area will enable USGS to create 3D images and map the Hayward Fault in unprecedented detail.
When the imploded building hits the ground, it is expected to create a signal similar to that of a magnitude 2 earthquake. By measuring how the seismic energy travels through the geologic layers of the East Bay, scientists can identify which areas may shake more than others in the event of a real earthquake. Because energy is channeled within fault zones and can travel farther and with more intensity along them, the data from the building demolition collected at small and precise intervals will enable USGS scientists to precisely characterize the width of the Hayward Fault zone.
"Having this many instruments in a very tight radius gives us a chance to really look at how seismic energy travels through different geologic materials," said USGS research geophysicist Rufus Catchings, the principal investigator in the East Bay Seismic Experiment in conjunction with the university. "We want to see how it varies as the energy moves across the fault, how it moves within the fault zone, and how it moves in the hills."
The Hayward Fault is only one of several earthquake faults that trend through the Bay Area, including the San Andreas Fault that gave rise to the deadly earthquakes of 1906 and 1989. Paleoseismic investigations reveal that the past five major earthquakes on the Hayward Fault have occurred, on average, every 140 years. The most recent was in 1868, making the investigation of this heavily urbanized fault zone especially important and timely. When Warren Hall was completed in 1971 to serve as the Hayward campus' administration building, earthquake science and building engineering had not made the strides they have today.
"We know that the Hayward Fault has the highest likelihood of any fault of producing the next damaging earthquake in the Bay Area," said Tom Brocher, director of the USGS Earthquake Science Center, "so we try to take full advantage of each and every opportunity to learn more about the strong shaking the coming earthquake will produce."
Precise data on the width and depth of the Hayward Fault along much of its 40-mile length is still sought. Is the fault an unbroken line, or does it run in strands? If the latter, do the strands join with each other? Catchings hopes also to learn whether the Hayward Fault joins with any other faults below the surface, which could increase the local seismic hazard. Furthermore, recording a seismic event that takes place at a predetermined time and location has the added benefit of enabling USGS to calibrate its permanent Bay Area seismic network.
The logistics of the experiment are daunting. The 600 seismometers – more than twice as many as normally reside in the entire Bay Area – are borrowed from the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) through the PASSCAL Instrument Center at New Mexico Tech. IRIS is a research consortium in which USGS regularly collaborates that lends instruments for seismic investigations throughout the world. USGS and IRIS cooperatively operate the Global Seismographic Network, and USGS members sit on PASSCAL's board of directors.
Hundreds of Hayward-area homeowners have been contacted by USGS volunteers to host the battery-powered devices in a mile radius around Warren Hall and along a 16-mile transect across the fault from San Ramon, east of Hayward, to San Francisco Bay. The volunteers include students at Cal State East Bay, the University of California, Davis, and other universities, as well as local geology and earthquake watchers both amateur and professional. After the implosion, these volunteers will again fan out into the neighborhoods to collect the seismometers for return to IRIS-PASSCAL. In the months to come, some of the student volunteers will be working with the data gathered in the seismic experiment in their own research.
While publicity has been vital in recruiting volunteers, USGS must also work hard to make sure excessive interest in the form of hovering helicopters does not interfere with the seismic signal and thus destroy the experiment. USGS is working with Bay Area news media outlets to ensure they understand it is critical to the project's success that they do not deploy helicopters in the area to film the planned implosion. The roar and "thump-thump-thump" of helicopter blades will drown out the small signal created by the building demolition that USGS aims to record.
The community involvement needed to make the experiment happen has also become an opportunity to spread messages about keeping safe in earthquake country. While most Hayward residents know about the fault, many contacted by USGS welcomed the specific tips offered to enhance household preparedness and safety that were included with each USGS information packet about the research project. Fluency in several of the many languages spoken in ethnically diverse Hayward helped volunteers convey the safety message, and informational leaflets and TV interviews on the project appeared in both English and Spanish.
Warren Hall's demolition at Cal State East Bay and the associated USGS seismic research has become an opportunity for Hayward-area residents to pause at a critical moment in the history of their community and think about their future — a future that will include enhanced seismic knowledge and safer buildings. Warren Hall served the university community for decades. As it comes down, it will serve its community a final time.

After being blown away from the audience recording I sneakily listened to while working on discovery for a case this morning..... (all thanks to the \"@fromtheaquarium" - which he so kindly posted to youtube this morning....BTW....check out this guy's work gathering audience recordings...amazing job!!!!)
..I had to grab the real thing from the phish.net website....def. worth the $$$.
1st Set
Updbat song selection that doesn't stop....the pace stays high throughout and each song, IMHO is played spot on.....no matter what era you dig!
IDK Vacuum solo is sweet, plus a long awaited Curtain...a dirty Camel Walk....spectacular Possom..I have listened to an enormous volume of Phish....may not have been old enough to catch the early shows....but I HAVE LISTENED TO THEM VERY ATTENTIVELY...thanks to trading, youtube, and torrents...
my point....
Phish's 3.0, particularly Trey's tone makes these versions sound more fuller, and quite frankly, more professional as the craftsmanship of the instruments and quality of the soundboard has increased dramatically from say...the early 1990's...Possom is a perfect example of this....take each note Trey played in this version and apply his '88-'91 tone....and no one could deny the headiness...IMHO...Trey's choice of notes in his solo is spectacular...ive been playing guitar for 12 years now (26 yrs old) and I am blown away by the fluidity of this version.....
I digress.....
Next comes Quinn the Eskimo....love the Grateful Dead versions of song and Phish nail it here and is a perfect sing along set closer.
2nd Set:
CDT opener that blazes a path of fire behind it that would rival and wild fire the USA has faced in the last decade (apologies to anyone who may have lost a home or pet by such wild fires)
CDT dissolves into an ambient groove that will put a smile on an Ork's face (Elder Scroll's anyone??)
next up....not since DCU in '10...and what a glorious version of Frankie the boys play for us...Page's voice sounds gorgeous...great harmony between Page and Trey....but I am partial towards this song...the piano and guitar interplay is magic to the ears!
UNDERMIND is next...I have loved this song since it came into being and feel as thought it is not played live enough....
Sand is so HOT...partial to this song too..this version competes with ones from '99 and '00...hot version....
LxL is PHUCKING AMAZING....the ending jam is my favorite part of this song and for some reason reminds me a little bit of Spanish Jam from The Grateful Dead....
will-be classic version of Julius with a tight transition into 2001....
YEM closer.....honestly, how can you deny the band's superb choice of song selection for this performance...I envy the people of St. Louis....
I was at BGCA3 and I this show through the speakers may have an inch on it!
I predict a "knock-your-socks-off" NIGHT 2 in Commerce City.....
We arrived in STL a bit behind schedule. We didn't even bother to look for shakedown, and I was a bit saddened by that since I wanted to socialize and pick up the group vibe. Nonetheless, I was extremely excited to see Phish in a town I hadn't visited since I was a kid. As the show began, somewhere in one of the 10X sections, I noticed a bright orange (?) sign with the words "Frankie Sez" written on it. Yes! Great request! I thought (haha).
PYITE was a solid, fun opener and the audience cheers seemed sustained throughout the entire song - we were amped! In return we received a fiery Runaway Jim, a freewheeling Ocelot and a Reba! And what's a variety show without comedy..."Ladies and gentlemen, the John Coltrane of the vacuum cleaner, Jon Fishman", Trey joked in I Didn't Know. A serene Curtain, a blast of Zappa energy (Peaches) and Mound provided the perfect mid-set combo. Sample was its usual self and the Sloth was well received by all. The Camel Walk groove seemed slightly thicker and more sedated than the last time I'd heard it (UIC 11). It was slick, cool, and laid back. Oh, Possum love it or hate it, the bounce is infectious live. This version gets pretty damn insistent just after the 5:20 min mark, with some serious slicing and dicing by Trey. Our sing-along ended with Quinn the Eskimo to close the first set.
Set two played like a series of vignettes appearing out of a foggy terrain. Chalkdust was a surprising opener, but I'd heard what they did with it in Lakewood the other night, so I was excited for the possibility of more exploration. It carried its usual spunk, but as Fish started climbing towards the end of the song, Trey pushed to take things a little further and left the song unfinished. Just after 7:30, I heard a familiar beat trickling from Fish's corner as they settled in to a carefree, misty groove. I blinked and a Frankie Says appeared.
Aside: I've loved this song since I first heard it on SOTG. It seems to fade in and out of existence on that album. If you turned up the volume a little more and adjusted the EQ just right on any other song, you just might hear it rustling the notes and musical structures, like wind in the trees. Its always there, oscillating just below the surface and just above the deep. It's that wavering shadow you just barely detect out of the corner of your eye but when you turn to face it, its not there.
So, in and out of that song they seemed to flow (like a daydream) and we were right back on our original path. Clearly, we were headed towards Sand when out popped quirky little Undermind! I think the more it's played the more peculiar layers they seem to add and/or reveal. Afterwards, we arrived at Sand which offered a gritty sound and an almost repentant, wailing melody. Walk Away burst through the seams to lighten the mood.
A late set Limb by Limb showed us its killer side. Trey started laying down the landscape not long after the lyrics ended. I liked the interplay between Trey and Fish just around the 4:45 mark. They broke things down slow and easy, and then pieced them together again after the 7min mark -- like turning a small cabin in the woods into a bustling metropolis. Everything was so subtle, then all of a sudden larger than life. It was a very rousing segment so Julius was a good follow up tune along with 2001.
Everyone loves a YEM...goddamnit, do we love it! It walks in the room and everyone seems to scream, NORM!, except we don't really say any words, we just exhale something akin to extreme relief. A collective "Ahhhhhh" is released by the crowd which extends into cheers of joy. It was a great set closer. Finally, Shine a Light ended the show and solidified our glow as we scampered out into the night.
I wasn't at this show. I planned on trying to attend, but last minute life decisions put that to rest. Either way, I felt like I was there. Not trying to sound like a meatball here, but that show was that good.
Yes I heard what went down in that mound. There was no way not to. Mind you, up to the mound I was still getting the kids to bed and was only half listening through 1 ear. Once I got to the mound I strapped in and it was on. I would honestly need to re hear this show to give a song by song review. It seemed like one long jam to me. Hell, this entire run has seemed like one long jam to me. If anyone has the means, download this show immediately and give it all of your attention. You will not be sorry.
lots and lots of rare songs, i mean The Curtain>Peaches>Mound is unheard of stretch of hot songs...
I surprisingly knew and recognized more songs than I thought I would (obviously quinn and 2001, but even runaway jim, julius, and some others).
I could go on and on about the show but much has already been said. I merely want to react to the previous post.
I think you could definitely be correct that the jams could have been more exploratory musically. This is a legitimate criticism I suppose. However, the goodness of a show is not necessarily determined by how many and the quality of really exploratory jams. All that is great and fantastic stuff, but as far as I'm concerned shows like this are about 2 main things. 1) Having as much fun as possible, getting as many people to let go and have FUN! and 2) Getting everyone higher. This goes along with point number 1 but especially during the YEM vocal jam there was tons of audience participation, you could feel the highness of the crowd (or maybe I imagined all that cause I was so spun). The way the lights were managed when the band/crowed sang together and did a sort of chakric alignment type thang. As people and the band ascended the scale of notes they were singing, the lights changed from red and so forth up the scale. Ultimately the crowd was able to get high enough for a green but everyone settled one step below at the yellow frequency, and thus the jam re-started from that level. Truly cool stuff.
What I'm getting at, even aside from my little YEM diatribe, is that what is important is the ENERGY, not necessarily the nuances of the music. IMO that kind of stuff is a bonus. Perhaps Phish was really just locked into certain grooves and having fun. The crowd was having hella funs. Thats for damn sure.
It just makes me think of certain Furthur shows I've seen and Dead recordings. Some of the most powerful dead songs are not their most exploratory in terms of jamming.
I know you rider, for instance, is a classic tune that is simple and known by pretty much everyone. When they come out of a hot china cat jam and go into I Know You Rider it's a LOT of FUN! And usually the Rider is much more powerful and packs a stronger punch than the chinacat.
I guess in Dead terms what I'm saying is that what I expect out of an I Know You Rider is completely different from what I expect from Dark Star. Not every song has be perfect and blow your mind musically, sometimes the very "in-syncness" of the band and audience can blow your mind equally or more than an intricate exploratory jam.
I've never seen a crowd more in-tune with a band than at this phish show. And to me that intercommunication is what's really important. Oftentimes at these kinds of shows I view the quality of the music as a signpost for how high the audience is. This audience was quite high, at least I was, and you cannot deny the tightness and the quality of the playing, even if it was not as "out-there" as some would have liked. I personally thought the 2001 was great, but it's the only time I've seen it live, and I was on the floor. Maybe if I had been talkin to a friend or not listening and dancing as intently I would have missed how truly awesome it was.
Blown away is all I can think of looking back on that night. Between dancing like an amoeba and standing there staring, jaw-dropped at their precision and Kuroda's light work, I walked out of there in love.
The PYITE opener still stands as one of my favorite openers I've seen. Such an amazing way to start the show and violate my virgin ears.
First set was full of great jams and a few 'sing-a-long' type songs to finish the set. I don't think they've played Peaches since. Being a big Deadhead I fully appreciated that amazing Quinn the Eskimo (GD covered it alot as well)
Second set was relentless. It felt like they never stopped playing, because they did hardly stop!! Things got spacey and properly weird towards the Frankie Says and Undermind. But that perfectly phunky Sand brought things back for me, still one of my most favorite Sands yet.
This show is one I never get tired of listening to and will enjoy for the rest of my life. The memories, the music all of it encapsulated one the best nights of my life.
I love this band!!!!
i called this show inbetween leg 1 and leg 2 as the indoor sleeper and just couldnt get the means to make it... as a result i couldnt bare to listen on the stream so I have no actual musically review just sad for myself and friends that didnt make it in and happy for all you phans that did
this is why i love phish!!!!!
also first punch opener since 2011 NYE run and the next one before that was 2010 NYE run... pretty phun opener!!!
On a separate note, I'm dying to hear some Pebbles......
OVERALL: Good song selection, mostly well played.
PYITE opener. Welcome any day.
The Curtain>Peaches. Dropping into peaches produced an audible "OH!" of surprise from the crowd. Despite not being the cleanest version it was fun. Great way to drop into the song, when you are expecting the curtain to either end or slip into "With".
Post Chalkdust Torture jam. Although it's hard to tell if it was intentional or a miscue, seeing as the end of Chalkdust is goofy. Either way, they went with a brief and nice jam that segues seamlessly into...
Frankie Says. First for me. Enjoyable.
Limb by Limb. Atypical, rockin' jam.
It's interesting to not the high number of animal related songs in this show: Runaway Jim, Ocelot, The Sloth, Camel Walk, Possum, considering they played the next show at the Oklahoma Zoo. I guess this is just Phish being Phish, always unpredictable.
Set two started strong with a CDT then just segued from there on. Frankie Says>Undermind>Sand then LXL were excellent. YEM had amazing lights and was great as every YEM I've ever heard always is. The Shine a Light encore was well received and I left the show on cloud nine.
Go listen to the Undermind, Runaway Jim, and Chalkdust Torture from 8/31/12 before you reply to hear what wakajawakka and I were looking for in the ones we heard in StL. Even Carini is a metal rocker but Denver got HOSE out of it. Would have been nice to have heard that out of Sloth or Possum or Quinn or Sand or Walk Away or Julius or any of the other hard rocking type Is we got.
And don't be fooled by that LimbxLimb either. Maybe it takes a musician's ear to hear these things but a few minutes into that jam Trey was clearly pushing for another direction (seagull cries, minor chords) but Page was having none of it, sticking to the Limb chords. This musical argument goes on for like 3-4 minutes with nobody agreeing on where to go until finally Trey steers them into yet another Type-1 rock jam that builds to the kind of peak we just heard in Sand>Walk Away. Top it all off with another muzzled 2001 and just-average YEM.
If you go to these shows to hear "First Set" renditions of all your favorites then you must be havin a great time on this tour. But if you're like me and you love this band for the risks they take and the places they're willing to go with their improv then this is pretty unimpressive stuff.

Leora Murphy of St. James was honored this year at the State Square Dance Convention for her dedication to square dance in the State of Minnesota.
Murphy has been square dancing since 1947 and she said she has no plans of retiring any time soon.
"Square dancing is a good way to exercise the body and mind," said Murphy.
Murphy grew up in McCook, NE and has been active in square dance ever since. It became a family activity for her children and herself even before they moved to the St. James area in 1976.
When they finally settled in St. James, Murphy had been dancing for nearly 20 years. She quickly joined the Allemand Anska Club and started to cue round dance for the club. Her work with Allemand Anska helped get the Twisters Square Dance Club going again. That club was known as the Swinging Saints until it folded in 2004.
Murphy continues to renew her State Square Dance license and has been a member of the Minnesota Round Dance Council since 1976. After dancing more than 66 years, Murphy continues to dance and promote the activity she loves throughout Minnesota.
