|13 Jan 1989
|Letter P to Walendy, explaining that he will be in the;USA during the dates suggested by Walendy, but "Perhaps you would ring me some time, then such presentations which serve the research into the truth, are always worthwhile. "

Referring to P's speech in Dresden[13 February] the flyer reads 'This was organised by a handful of our young people, who we will also meet here in Porta Westfalica and who already deserve our particlar thanks. This initiative should be developed allover the country. " "This planned meeting is of enormous political importance because the British historian has 8caused a great stir, better said has considerably widened the breach in the change of opinions with numerous researches, with his unequivocal position on the most recent German past and revisionist research world wide-and once again in Dresden![...] As others try to help politicians on their way with street demonstrations, so we want to assert in our way that 'we are the people' by supporting the intellectual pioneer.

Hi, my computer has a probem where it wont get past the windows loading screen and it keeps restarting itself. Neither safe mode or going through repair mode with the windows cd works so far, so someone told me I should download a free "Linux Live Cd" so that I can boot off of it into my desktop so that I can save all of my family photos, important documents, and music onto a flash drive or a cd or something and then reinstall windows again. But, when I tried looking around I get to these company home pages where I have no clue what exactly it is that I'm downloading and none of which have the context "live cd" in them so I really want to make sure that it's the right thing. Can anyone please direct me to the download page of what it is that I am looking for? Any help would be much appreciated as this is a very frustrating situation and I am on the verge of losing many important things that are dear to me, thanks alot!

The next Stevie G.
I know a number of people have talked about his before, so thought anyone who missed it might enjoy this one from the Telegraph. The idea of bringing everyone at the club from the most junior youth side all the way up to the first team under one umbrella and with one playing philosophy I think has a lot of merit. We can argue over what the ideal system or tactics should be, but surely producing technically strong youngsters who have been coached the same way since they joined the club till they are ready to knock on the first team dressing room door is something that has worked in the past and should work in the future.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/liverpool/9898516/Liverpool-step-up-their-quest-to-find-the-new-Steven-Gerrard-and-Jamie-Carragher-as-heart-and-soul-of-the-club.htmlSort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
"It is a moment of symbolism when the current academy director, Frank McParland, introduces Rodgers to his development squad as 'the boss'. During the Gérard Houllier era and most of Rafael Benítez's reign, there was only friction. They would go years without stepping into the place, no deference considered necessary from the academy director to the manager. Those who worked under successive regimes do not only see a different relationship, but a different club.
"We are one club compared to what it was then," says McParland, who took on his role in 2009. "There are clear lines of communication. The relationship offers the players a pathway. It's the best time there has been in terms of that relationship."
This season, the edict was issued that from the under-nines up, the fluid, passing style and formation of the first team was to be replicated.
"When I came in I sold the owners that idea so that if it doesn't work out for me, at least you bring in a different manager who wants to play the same style and then it evolves," says Rodgers. "I want to create a shortcut so that everyone who comes in immediately understands what is expected in terms of style of play. It saves time, money and effort. This is the first year of that and, naturally, there are growing pains.
"The alternative is you have no plan. You start one way, that doesn't work so you bring in another manager who wants it completely different. Half your squad plays one way, the other half another. All you get then is stockpiling of players. Then it's the club's fault if you're not successful, not the players."
That's what I've been trying tell everyone about. This is exactly why I think there are good things happening at Liverpool and it's all been instigated by Rodgers and FSG. People may ask why I support Rodgers. This is why. It goes much deeper than just changing the way we play and having a young squad with pass and move tactics. It goes right down through the club as one complete system and philosophy. And the fruit will come from it but it needs the supporters to realise what's happening and be prepared to stick with it because the fruit won't appear overnight.
I'm actually astounded that this isn't the norm at most clubs to be honest. The idea is so simple and logical.

PS dont want to see the future constantly given preference over NOW...we need the owners to step up to the plate (scuse the pun ) and get some coin on the table for the reinforcements we need to guarantee a top 4 slot next season ..from what Im hearing from some posters on here its 20 mill + sales..thats not going to get it done. We cannot be outside of ECLC for yet another yr.
Yes..think its logical anything makes for a better more easily administrated compared to the chaos weve seen over the last 15 yrs or so ...Im all for it.

Learning how to play the piano can be a tasking experience for anyone, regardless of age. For those with no musical background, it can be difficult to adjust to. It's really quite similar to learning a new language.
Here are 10 simple tips to help your learning experience go smoothly:
1. You will be tempted to quit early on. It's going to be difficult. And sometimes it will seem like the easy way would be to just leave it to the pros. But don't fall for it. To learn an instrument, especially piano, is to experience something most of the population never has the opportunity to do. The experience itself is incredibly rewarding.
2. Determine precisely how you're going to learn piano. It is best to learn in a structured environment such as that offered in most online piano courses as well as with private tutors. Tutors can be quite expensive, while online courses can be quite affordable. Either way, having a set structure will greatly improve your chances of success.
3. Don't just learn to play piano; immerse yourself in the topic. Listen to classical pieces on your mp3 player, research both classical and modern pianists…embrace the culture.
4. Go easy at first. Don't just assume after a month of playing that you'll be capable of playing your favorite classical piece or pop song. Start easy; as in "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Easy". The building blocks are important. Don't skip it or gloss over it. Everyone had to start somewhere.
5. Be disciplined. Learning a completely foreign skill such as playing piano requires good mental discipline. Overcome any desire to quit because the end result will be you having acquired a new skill, the pleasures of which most will never have the opportunity to experience.
Keep the above 5 tips in mind and you'll have a pleasurable experience learning to play the piano! For more information, why not check out free piano training site, Donde Veo Arte – free piano lessons for kids, and beginner piano training?

Mathematics is about opening your mind, being open to new concepts. If you simply shrug off math as being "too hard" then you are losing out on alot.

ALAMEDA -- It took four organizations, three trips to the waiver wire and a four-game suspension, but perseverance paid off for Raiders wide receiver Andre Holmes.
A 31-24 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving included a seven-catch, 136-yard explosion from Holmes, who in a single afternoon surpassed his career numbers coming into the game (five receptions, 76 yards).
"It's taken me three years to be able to do it, and I think it's just been a matter of development and figuring out the skills I need when I'm out on the field," Holmes said Monday. "The ball was coming to me, and I was able to make plays on it."
At 6-foot-4, 210 pounds, Holmes gives the Raiders the kind of physical target they've lacked. Even if Denarius Moore returns to claim his starting position when the Raiders visit the Jets on Sunday at MetLife Stadium, Holmes' playmaking ability and rapport with quarterback Matt McGloin will get him plenty of snaps.
"I just think when the ball went to him, he went up and made the plays," Raiders coach Dennis Allen said. "He's a big target and can really stretch the field vertically."
Despite Holmes' size, his ability to jump and catch has been an evolving process. McGloin is fond of throwing "50-50" balls where he counts on his receiver to win the one-on-one battle with the defensive back.
"When I was a rookie, I wasn't really doing it -- it was more like a 20-80 ball," Holmes said.
Holmes, like teammates McGloin, Rod Streater and Marcel Reece, was not drafted out of college. He originally was signed as an undrafted free agent by Minnesota, then played parts of two seasons with Dallas before signing with New England and getting waived.
Also a basketball player and triple jumper at Conant High in the Chicago area, Holmes toyed with the idea of giving up football to play soccer, only to be talked out of it by football coach Dick Modelski.
"We told him, 'We have a plan for you. Stick with it.' Thank God he did," Modelski told ESPNChicago. "By his senior year he blossomed into a very good wide receiver, and you could tell he wasn't done growing. He was going to keep developing."
With no Division I scholarship opportunities, Holmes went to Division II Hillsdale College in Michigan, where a teammate was Raiders tackle Jared Veldheer.
As a sophomore, Holmes remembers filling out a questionnaire on short-term and long-term goals and being too embarrassed to list the NFL as a possibility. It was then, Holmes said, that assistant coach Barry Fagan told him what he needed to improve upon to have a chance.
"He was the first one who told me I had a shot," Holmes said.
Holmes caught 144 passes over his junior and senior seasons at Hillsdale for more than 1,300 yards and 14 touchdowns.
"You have a player like that, especially in Division II, it sticks out big time," Veldheer said. "There were a lot of big plays that went to 'Dre, and it was fun playing with him Thursday and having him do the same thing."
After missing the first four games of the season under suspension for testing positive for performance enhancing drugs, Holmes is just now hitting his stride.
"Andre has been doing this since camp. I think the four-game suspension kind of threw him off, but you see he goes out there and makes plays," Streater said. "He might not be the fastest, but you put the ball in his area, and he's going to come down with it."

SAN LORENZO -- In the inaugural West Alameda County Conference wrestling championships at Arroyo High, Castro Valley, which had seven individual champions, edged San Leandro for first place with 209 points. San Leandro finished with 182 followed by Albany (149.5).
Leading the way for Castro Valley was 134-pounder Diego Lazares. The junior claimed his second straight league crown -- he won the now-defunct Hayward Area Athletic League title last year -- with a pin in 3 minutes, 52 seconds over Mt. Eden's Jonathan Sturholm.
"I've definitely done more conditioning this season and I feel ready," Lazares said of his run into the postseason.
The top three finishers advanced to the North Coast Section Championships next week at Newark Memorial. A year ago, Lazares went 2-2 at NCS at 120 pounds. Ranked No. 40 in the state according to www.thecaliforniawrestler.com, Lazares has one thing on his mind.
"My goal when I was a freshman was to make state my junior year," he said.
He began this year at 145 pounds and then dropped to 138 around the midway point of the season and now to what he considers his ideal weight at 134.
"It's helped me out a lot," Lazares said of dropping weight classes. "A lot of moves I was doing then wasn't working and they're working now."
The most thrilling match of the day came at 197 pounds as Bob Ely of Albany outlasted Michael Ponce of Hayward in two overtimes, 6-5.
Easily the second-best match was another overtime cliffhanger that saw Arroyo's Ben Sira beat Albany's Alex Malanche at 184 pounds with a takedown in overtime for a 6-4 victory. It was Sira's second straight league crown.

STOCKTON - The U.S. Department of Justice announced Thursday that three Stockton men were recently indicted as part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, an initiative that brings together federal, state and local law enforcement agencies to combat gun and gang crime, authorities said.
Barry Rhodes, 27, Arthurton Warren, 31, and Hector Montanez, 24, all of Stockton, were charged with being felons in possession of firearms, authorities said. Rhodes, who was indicted Thursday, was caught with a 9 mm semiautomatic handgun, officials said. Warren, who was indicted March 14, reportedly had a .40-caliber semiautomatic pistol and a sawed-off shotgun. Montanez, indicted March 7, was found in possession of a 9 mm Glock pistol, officials said.
All three were arrested as part of an investigation involving the Stockton Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, authorities said.

Intellectual Creativity—The Freedom to Explore Your Interests and Develop Your Talents
When SOU Music Professor Alexander Tutunov heard her sing in Alaska, he was so impressed he persuaded her to come to SOU. He convinced her, and she enrolled as a nursing student early on, but eventually switched to a double major in music and music business.
Beatriz was the only female freshman to be accepted into the SOU Chamber Choir and, in 2009, toured with the group in Germany and the Czech Republic. At the end of her freshman year, she had earned the Outstanding Music Freshman Award, the E. Mulling Music Scholarship, the Leon Mulling Music Scholarship, and the Diversity Scholarship. In her sophomore year, Beatriz was accepted as a performance major and was featured as a soloist for the SOU Concert Choir. As a junior, she performed for the Southern Oregon Arts and Research festivities in May.
Her talent opened doors outside SOU as well. In 2009, she played Marcy Park in the Oregon Cabaret Theatre's The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. It was the first time in 25 years that a student had been cast at the theatre.
Her biggest honor to date was becoming the only vocalist to receive the Grand Winner prize for the National Young Musicians Showcase Competition. She started as the runner-up, but the original Grand Winner, a Juilliard School student, wasn't able to attend the award ceremony, so Beatriz received the award—and sang at the ceremony at Carnegie Hall on April 30, 2011.
Beatriz is a first-generation Filipino-American who was born in Alaska. Her father is a U.S. postal service worker, her mother an accountant for the state of Alaska.
"Singing makes me feel free, uninhibited," she says. "When you're singing really well it's like an out-of-body experience. You've practiced the piece so many times you have to let yourself go and the music takes care of itself."
SOU and the Ashland community, she says, have given her many opportunities to perform and grow. "Not many places will give you the opportunity to perform in a professional theatre your freshman year or tour Europe your freshman year and perform where Bach himself is buried. It's safe to say I'm extremely lucky."

Authority fights to balance budget
Ambulance officials threaten to offer less coverage or disband
June 27, 2013
Representatives from the Tucker County Ambulance Authority announced, during a contentious Tucker County Commission meeting Wednesday, they need funding to balance their 2013-2014 budge....
No raises for 3 years in a row?*****it up. What you do is a job and most jobs today are at a premium. Your work is very much appreciated, but a raise every year is by no means a reasonable expectation. Try working for the state.

Hmmm. Apparently the Censor doesn't like the word s-u-c-k (starts with an 's'). How about: No raises 3 years in a row? Pull yourselves together.

Since my retirement and relocation to Tucker County, in 2007, the one thing most prevalent about providing these emergency medical services (whatever it was called then) has been an almost continuing degree of both internal and external conflicts about something. Examples: Operational manual for employees, Standards of conduct, (Personnel Manual) employee termination, financial and fiscal issues, equipment costs and long term budget issues with continuing legal cost to address the turmoil among members of management and employees including compliance with external forces of county regulation (Commissioners) and with applicable state statues.
Of course, one would naturally expect there to have been growing pains in addressing all these issues over this time period in providing the emergency medical services needed and/or which are currently being provided. Yes, there has been significant progress made during this time period in spite of all the "growing pains".

Now it seems that the bitterness and animosity among all parties has reached the point that dissolution of the Ambulance Authority Board is an option being considered. How Sad? Is this the best you can do? Is this any way for people in a responsible managerial capacity to act?
Why not work together in harmony, for the people of Tucker County, in a common sense, logical and thoughtful manner to make an informed decision for keeping and improving Emergency medical services that best addresses the issues outlined in this newspaper article. As TCAA managers, Board members and TC Commissioners, I suggest you leave your hidden agenda or other self-serving needs (current or future) of a political nature on the new cake walk numbers in front of the courthouse and concentrate your efforts on addressing these important issues. It has no place at the table of progress. Thank you.

This is for people who have their PC on before they turn on their PS3.
The install as windows service option wasn't working for me. The PMS icon would appear on the PS3 if my PS3 was on BEFORE I turn my PC on. However, when my PC is already on and I switch on the PS3, it didn't find PMS automatically. I manually had to restart PMS. So, I figured out a way to have windows automatically start PMS whenever I switch on the PS3. This is working on a wired connection with Vista 64bit using internet connection sharing. I can't vouch for any other combination, but here is how to do it (use at own risk, if your computer blows up because of this, it's not my fault :) ):
1. Goto c:\ in My Computer and create a new batch file (just create a text-file and rename it to have the extension .bat). Call it runpms.bat.
2. Edit the batch file and paste below code in it (thanks to Jagged!):
@echo off
tasklist | find "javaw.exe" > nul
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto Process_NotFound
goto END
cd "%PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\ps3 media server"
IMPORTANT NOTE: you may need to edit the directories if your PMS is not installed in c:\program files (x86)\ps3 media server. Find your PMS.exe and edit the code accordingly.
3. With the PS3 off, go to start and type in 'event viewer' (no quotes). Press enter. It will run the Event Viewer.
4. Now switch on the PS3. In the Event Viewer go to windows log, system and refresh the list. You should see 2 Tcpip events that occur whenever you switch your PS3 on or off. Double check this by switching the PS3 off and refreshing the list again.
5. Right click on the Tcpip event and choose 'attach task to this event'. Give the event a name and click next twice. Select 'start a program'. Click next. Browse to your 'runpms.bat' file and select it.
6. Turn off your PC and your PS3. Now boot your PC. When it's fully booted, switch on your PS3 and it should automatically run PMS and show up on the XMB. Note: it will also run PMS if you turn off your PS3 :) That shouldn't be a problem. It will basically remain on whenever you switch your PS3 on or off. The main thing is, you don't need to be running to your PC anymore to get PMS on your XMB.

Co-billing with the Joneses again for Goddard's Halloween show, the start of the first set featured members of the two bands playing together (like they did the year before). Phish actually opens for the Joneses in this show, which just goes to show you how small the band still was. Tapes from this show aren't SBD, but aren't awful hissy quality either. I'd give the spreadsheet source a C+/B-. As they did in the last documented show (10/14), the band segues quite a bit in this show from song to song.
The show starts off with a long jam featuring members of both bands. It definitely sounds like Trey is on the drums at the beginning before moving to the guitar, while the Joneses drummer is playing the main kit. The jam doesn't really have a structure until Trey starts playing and things pick up a bit, with a series of Low Rider teases. The chaos continues in Whipping Post, where Trey references his nipple fetish. The jam here is a bit slowed by the lack of Fishman, who hadn't showed up yet, and it seems like everyone isn't totally in synch yet. After the song, Trey introduces the band as a series of Moseses (maybe the first time that happened?).
A rather short Sneakin Sally moves into an even-shorter Back Porch. Halley's morphs out of Back Porch and features Richard Wright and possibly some other vocalists. Trey sings in falsetto here and it's funny to hear so many vocalists on a Phish song. The jam here slows down and migrates into Light Up, which seems to be synched with the entrance of Fishman, who was body-painted as an elephant. You can see a picture of him here in the Phish Book. You can even hear everyone laughing as Fish appears as the band literally stops playing and everyone is clapping. Amazingly, Fish then launches into Love You. He also attempts to play guitar, and is absolutely awful.
While the Bag is standard, it nicely flows into Possum which is particularly drawn out and features some slow and slinky solos from Page. I really like this YEM. The jam, after coming out of a standard jam, features Trey playing with his pedals and sounding a little like John Abercrombie behind the rest of the band playing a scorching YEM. Eventually Trey emerges and spits fire before a funky B+D. The vocal jam moves into a fiery BBFCFM.
The second set here is not notable for its song versions, but for the meandering between songs. While A-Train was referenced by Trey as being by request and "a song we wrote in the 20s", it slides into a loud and noisy Timber. Despite someone calling for Golgi, the band doesn't play it.
Ok, here is where the weird stuff happens. First, the band plays "The Chase", which moves into I am Hydrogen. This Hydrogen is a Hydrogen With, but Fish adds a very weird swingbeat to it. I don't think it works very well, but it does turn into that swinging Who Do We Do, but only the very first half, before it stops and goes into Clod. Instead of Clod, the band plays Fee. After a fast and short Divided Sky, the band morphs into a peaceful McGrupp, which is very short and contains only the essentials before it too moves seamlessly into the second half of The Chase! This then (like they do now) moves into Clod! It's like someone blew up Fluffhead and scattered it's remains around this show.
After Alumni, the band finally plays Fluffhead, which the audience recognizes and is happy to hear. To end the show, the band plays a solid version of Bowie which teases ACDC Bag a few times. I love the jazzy way the jam starts off here; it's very mellow. Afterwards, Trey introduces the Joneses.
There isn't anything particularly ground-breaking in this show. I would definitely listen to the YEM, but other than that, it is interesting to hear all the bits and pieces of Fluffhead intertwined throughout other songs. Also, if you want to hear something awkward, listen to the Love You and envision a naked, painted Fishman, singing Love You and playing what sounds like elementary school level guitar in front of people who aren't in on the joke. Hilarious.

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia -- Team USA is back, thanks to the push-the-envelope tribe in the mountains.
The U.S. men Thursday swept the new daredevil event, slopestyle skiing, following the two medals won by American female snowboarders the previous night.
Joss Christensen of Park City, Utah, won his country's fourth gold medal in Sochi. He was followed by Gus Kenworthy of Telluride, Colo., and Nick Goepper of Lawrenceburg, Ind.
"I am shocked," Christensen said. "I am stoked to be up here with my friends. America, we did it."
It was only the third time in history that U.S. athletes won all the medals in an event at the Winter Olympics. The others were in men's figure skating in 1956 and the men's snowboard halfpipe in 2002 in Salt Lake City.
The American women barely missed it Wednesday night, finishing first, third and fourth.
After one week of competition at the Sochi Games, more than a half of the United States' 12 medals -- and all four golds -- have been won at the extreme park in sports the Americans invented.
"It's crazy," Goepper said. "I think it's going to give the U.S. a lot more confidence, and it's going to get a lot of people really excited."
Christensen's golden run came on the first of his two tries through the park filled with rails and jumps. He landed a triple-cork jump to boost his score to 95.8 points. The skier didn't back off on his victory-lap run with a score of 93.8 that was better than the 11 other finalists.
Christensen, who earned a discretionary spot on the talented U.S. team, learned the triple jump a few days ago. He said before the final that the big jump was needed to earn a medal.
"It can get pretty big on the last jump, and you just want to land it and make sure you don't put your hands down," he said afterward.
The results didn't surprise Norway's Aleksander Aurdal, who was seventh.
"They have clean triples," he said. "How can you beat that if you don't do it yourself?"
Goepper, 19, entered the event as the favorite and ranked No. 1 in the world having recently dominated the sport. The event is so new that many outside of the Winter X Games crowd don't know much about it or the athletes.
But Goepper, the two-time reigning X Games champion, had surfaced as an interesting personality coming from the flatlands of Indiana. He rode a 300-foot ski slope near his home to develop into one of the top trick riders.
Goepper fell on his first qualifying run before rolling into the two-run final with his three U.S. teammates. He predicted the competitors would lay down big jumps in the final.
"Go for broke," Goepper said. "It's the Olympics."
Goepper proved that with a score of 92.4. But then Christensen and Kenworthy passed him. Goepper called it the best display of skiing "we've ever seen in our sport."
Kenworthy was just happy it ended in a red-white-blue kind of day.
"I am so stoked about an American 1-2-3," he said.

Wyvern of Wye
this wiki
The Wyvern of Wye was a dragon-like creature from River Wye that terrorized the West Country sometime during the lifetime of King Arthur. The beast was fought by Sir Cadogan, one of the Knights of the Round Table, who bravely engaged it in combat. The Wyvern, however, was too strong for Cadogan, and it managed to eat Cadogan's horse, break his wand, and melt his sword and visor with fire before Cadogan could escape. The two then had a second, shorter encounter after Cadogan managed to procure another mount, an overweight pony that was grazing in a nearby meadow. The Wyvern bent its head to try to gobble up the knight and his new steed, but Cadogan's damaged, misfiring wand stabbed into its tongue and ignited the fumes from its stomach, causing the beast to explode.
Behind the scenes
- The wyvern is a mythological creature similar to the dragon, often distinguished from the latter by only having a single pair of limbs.
- Sir Cadogan has a portrait at Hogwarts
- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Mentioned only)

Showtime executive hints at 'Dexter' spinoff
Published: Wednesday, July 31, 2013 at 7:45 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 31, 2013 at 7:45 a.m.
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Showtime's president is hinting that a "Dexter" spin-off may be forthcoming.
David Nevins said Tuesday that Showtime has signed a two-year deal with Scott Buck, the executive producer of "Dexter." The serial killer drama starring Michael C. Hall is in its eighth and final season.
Showtime says Buck will be working with the premium cable channel on several new projects.
At a Television Critics Association meeting, Nevins was asked if there will be a follow-up series to "Dexter." In response, the Showtime executive noted the deal with producer Buck and suggested that reporters draw their own conclusion.
Asked later about the possibility, Nevins acknowledged that he dropped a "tease" about a spinoff, but said that for now the focus is on a satisfying end to "Dexter."

- Apr 26:

- Purdy: With Sutter around, Sharks not home free

- Sharks poised to close out NHL playoff series at home
SAN JOSE -- It remains to be seen whether there will be any lingering nastiness between the Sharks and Los Angeles Kings when the two teams get together for Game 5 of their Western Conference quarterfinal series Saturday at SAP Center. But James Sheppard said he's learned to be ready for anything.
Near the end of Thursday's Game 4, just after Sheppard was locked up with Alec Martinez of the Kings in front of the Sharks bench, Los Angeles defenseman Willie Mitchell came over and hit Sheppard up high. Shortly after that, Mike Brown and Raffi Torres of the Sharks immediately went to Mitchell to express their displeasure, starting a brief melee.
"He's a guy who takes care of his teammates, and I think he's always going to be there to show up for something like that," Sheppard said of Mitchell. "I guess when in you're in such a rough series and guys have been throwing their bodies around, you kind of always have to be aware.
"So I think I was just ready the whole game, just making sure that I was always keeping my head up."
Sheppard said he saw Mitchell coming, but "I didn't know what was going to happen. He's not going to take a baseball swing at my head. If he was going to do that, maybe I'd be a little more aware. But he's going to stick up for his teammates and play tough."
Sheppard scored his first goal of the series Thursday after Tomas Hertl did some nifty work inside the Kings' zone to create a scoring opportunity. Playing with Hertl and Tommy Wingels, and Joe Pavelski at times, Sheppard has four points -- tied for fourth most on the Sharks this series.
"It's a lot of fun. He's a young kid that has a creative mind," Sheppard said of Hertl. "It's good because it creates holes for us. The defenders, they don't know what he's going to do. ... It's fun because you see a lot of things you don't normally see in a dump and chase game."

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- The names on the backs of the jerseys are the same, and the Giants made it clear Saturday that their game will remain the same, too.
The defending World Series champions scored their first run of the spring in familiar fashion. Angel Pagan led off the fourth with a single, stole second, took third on a groundout to the right side by Marco Scutaro and scored when Pablo Sandoval singled to right. Small ball and pitching won the Giants a championship last fall, and in front of a sellout crowd at Scottsdale Stadium, it led to a 4-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels.
"That was right where we left off," manager Bruce Bochy said, smiling.
There was, however, one glaring difference in the first Giants game since Game 4 of the World Series. Sandoval, under orders to work on his conditioning all spring, was surprisingly put into motion on a hit-and-run and rumbled home when Jackson Williams lined a double into the left-field corner. As he approached the dugout, all Sandoval saw was laughing teammates.
"I was just hoping he wouldn't fall," Pagan said. "That's a long run for him."
Sandoval said it got longer as it wore on.
"I stepped on third base and home plate was moving away," he joked.
For a team that counts chemistry as one of its greatest assets, Sandoval's mad dash was a reminder of how much fun these Giants have when they're winning. Bochy even got into the act, saying he told Sandoval that it looks difficult to carry a piano around the bases.
"And then he stopped to play a song between third and home," Bochy said.
The levity and the Angels' Double-A lineup made for a quick, easy day for the defending champions. After an intense October, they're here to stay healthy and simply get in their work before embarking on what they hope will be a similar path. Sandoval spoke for many when he said he doesn't want the goals to change, and emphatically stated that he doesn't care if he hits more homers or drives in more runs than he did last year.
"I play my game and see what happens," he said. "That was our game (today)."
Nobody enjoyed the familiar style more than Pagan, who knows he'll get plenty of opportunities to run with the patient Scutaro hitting behind him. There's a reason Pagan talked to Scutaro every day when the two were free agents in November.
"This is how we won," Pagan said. "We play the game right. We all know we're not a home run-hitting team, but if we play the game the right way, we can be as deadly as the home run-hitting teams."
The small-ball style didn't matter to Giants fans in 2010 or in 2012, and it certainly didn't to the raucous crowd that cheered when the Giants were introduced as world champions and erupted when Sergio Romo came running in from the bullpen for an inning of light work.
If anybody had forgotten just how 2012 ended, Romo offered a jolting reminder by striking out J.B. Shuck looking on a fastball. Afterward, fans flocked to the players' parking lot in search of autographs while hundreds remained lined up for a photo with the World Series trophy. A couple dozen fans lined the home dugout, many of them yelling, "Thank you!" as the Giants walked off the field.
"It was a great feeling," right fielder Hunter Pence said. "It's a lot of motivation to try and do it again."
"I'm trying to treat it like it's the regular season," Vogelsong said. "Mentally, I need to try and be as close as I can be."
Brandon Crawford, Andres Torres and Gregor Blanco had the day off Saturday and will highlight Sunday's lineup, along with Brandon Belt, who was Saturday's designated hitter. Bochy said the rest of the regular position players would get Sunday off, including Buster Posey, who exited after three innings Saturday.

PORTLAND, Ore. — A 23-hour bargaining session has led to a conceptual agreement that could avert a first-ever teacher strike in Portland public schools, the biggest district in Oregon.
Bargainers took a break Tuesday morning and are set to come back later in the day to iron out details and put the agreement in writing.
Becca Uherbelau (UR'-behl-ow), a spokeswoman for the teachers union, says plans for strike that had been set to start on Thursday will go on hold once that happens, pending ratification of a contract by teachers and the school board.
Uherbelau says details of the agreement won't be released until teachers hold a contract vote.
The district has 48,000 students and 2,900 teachers.

Typo in OpenSolaris RoR AMI on Amazon EC2
By prashant on Jun 19, 2009
We released a new OpenSolaris Ruby on Rails image on Amazon EC2 last week. This version is different from the previous one on OpenSolaris because not only does this AMI include the usual goodies, updates etc., this is also a Typo appliance.
Want some marketing key words?
- Optimized
- Secure
- Pre-configured, preinstalled, and very "appliancy"
- Extremely monitorable
Since I'm not really a marketing guy, I just can't put words out there without feeling a primordial urge to explain myself.
The stack (Ruby, extensions, gems, web servers) is compiled with the latest compilers, optimal compiler flags based on performance studies, and Nginx is configured to have its temporary file store on a tmpfs mount.
Nothing runs as root, even for an instruction. If you're wondering how Nginx can listen at port 80 without being started as root, the answer is easy - Solaris privileges: root is not a user, rather it's a role. So you can confer privileges (like listening on port 80) which are usually associated with root to other users (like the nginx user). So this obviates the necessity for applications(like Nginx or Apache) to run as root even for the brief set of instructions needed to bind to a port. The less instructions you run as root, the less your exposure.
Pre-configured, pre-installed, and very "appliancy".
The image contains a production ready configuration of Typo, which is the popular Rails blog engine(usage details are here[1]). Its architecture: there are two Nginx workers. Nginx listens at port 80 and is a fast web server which reduces the possibility of application bottlenecks. In all likelihood, one cannot fully stress two Nginx workers in an EC2 instance (or even one, in my opinion) In addition, Nginx has a low memory footprint, so the benign effect of having two instances outweighs the overhead).
The Rails servers are powered by Thin. There are two instances that Nginx communicates with. Rails is a CPU-intensive/low concurrency application that benefits from multiple instances. The Thins are sized in anticipation of a single CPU so it may be wise to increase the number of Thin instances depending on the number of CPUs in the image.
MySQL is the database. The three tiers are pre-configured. Nginx communicates with Thin, and Thin communicates with the database. Typo has its schema populated into the MySQL database, Rails and its dependencies are already installed. The native gems, like MySQL and Thin have been compiled and configured correctly . . . and it "just works". To use it start the instance, and log on to http://instance to begin setting up your web log.
SMF services exist for the Nginx, Thin, and MySQL components, and the dependencies between these services are also expressed in the manifests.
The catalog entry has information on where the service manifests are stored, and where the components are installed for one who wants further control.
Extremely monitorable

OAKLAND — Major League Baseball did not shed any light on the Saturday night incident between umpire Gerry Davis and the A's dugout, but MLB did react by putting out a one-sentence statement.
Several A's players told this newspaper Davis had been reprimanded by MLB for having made what the players called a "crybaby face'' to players and staff in the Oakland dugout in Anaheim after the A's 2-0 loss to the Angels.
The statement offered by MLB went: ``We are not commenting on Gerry Davis of his interaction with the A's over the weekend, but we expect both Club personnel and our Umpires to remain professional on the field at all times.''
A's pitcher Scott Kazmir took Davis' professionalism into question, wondering if the strike zone calls he got Sunday with Davis behind the plate were the genesis of three consecutive walks that led to a six-run Angels' rally. Manager Bob Melvin argued the balls and strikes calls and was ejected.
``That's just not professional,'' Kazmir said Sunday of the ball-strike calls. ``I'm trying really hard to rise above the B.S. to be honest with you. It's late August. It's a tough time of the year for anyone in the game, it really is. But it's important to rise above any personal issue and call a fair game. We owe it to the game to do that.
``And what I saw on video, I saw 10-plus pitches I thought were right there. I don't know if it has something to do with last night when he got reprimanded, but professionalism is something I have an issue with. No matter what happens on the field, some things are just unacceptable.''
Kazmir and fellow pitcher Sonny Gray on Sunday mimed Davis' actions by balling their fists and rubbing the corners of their eyes in an apparent crying motion.

Deputies unable to locate dog after 5-year-old bitten
Published: Sunday, April 28, 2013 at 11:05 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, April 28, 2013 at 11:05 a.m.
Union County Sheriff's Office
Deputies investigated a dog attack last week, but were unable to locate the animal.
According to an incident report filed by the sheriff's office, a 5-year-old boy received a bite on the back of the head by a black and white pit bull mix.
The boy, according to his mother, Jennie Nicole Gardin, was attacked while playing in her yard with the family dog.
The incident happened on Buck Fowler Road in Jonesville about 8:30 p.m. Thursday.
A deputy was unable to locate the dog.

ANTIOCH -- The concern that Contra Costa Fire Protection District officials have about illegal fireworks setting off fires in hot, dry weather appears to have come to fruition even before the official holiday.
Fireworks were most likely the cause of a small brush fire on the campus of Park Middle School on Wednesday night, Fire Capt. and spokesman Kent Kirby said. The one-alarm blaze started around 7:15 p.m. in a field outside the school building, on Spartan Way.
"People in the area heard the sound of them and called right away," Kirby said. "And there was debris left over in the area. "
None of the buildings was damaged, and nobody was injured, Kirby said.
The incident put into focus the difficulties fire officials said come with mixing illegal fireworks with the hot weather and dry conditions caused by the state's severe water drought. The issue has been especially prevalent in East Contra Costa County.
"A year ago, we had fire calls pending in that part of the county," said Fire Investigator Vic Massenkoff. "We just didn't and don't have the manpower to chase everyone of them as they happened. So we're really making a call to people not to use illegal fireworks."
The fire Wednesday came less than a week after authorities arrested three men in an East County sting that netted around 2,500 pounds of illegal fireworks. One of the suspects in that case was from Indiana, and Massenkoff said authorities are now investigating shipping agencies that transported the fireworks.
The three were arrested after police and fire investigators answered a Craigslist ad selling fireworks.
"It'll make a dent, a very small dent," Massenkoff said. "But illegal fireworks are out there, and what this case shows is how easy it is for people to get their hands on them. People need to realize that it's illegal in all of Contra Costa County to have them, and that it can be a felony to transport them into the state. You're driving, say in Idaho, and buy some legal fireworks, and you drive them into California. That's a felony, and most people I don't think even realize that."
Fireworks, including sparklers, are illegal in all of Contra Costa County. Gilroy, Dublin, Newark and Union City are the only cities in Alameda or Santa Clara counties where "safe and sane" fireworks are legal.
"It used to be that we had to worry about cherry bombs and M-80s," Massenkoff said. "Now, you have full-scale pyrotechnics that are designed only to be used by professionals who are trained to use them in the hands of Joe Public. You can kill yourself with these. People need to use caution, and you hope, obey the law."

While state lawmakers consider ways to combat soaring smartphone thefts by mandating "kill switches" that allow users to remotely erase and disable their phones, there are steps you can take now to do the same thing.
Just about every smartphone sold these days has built-in security features or available apps to better secure their data. And the features typically are easy to configure, yet most users don't bother.
Securing your device won't prevent it from being stolen, but it can block thieves from accessing all the personal data stored on your phone.
Smartphone theft has been a hot topic because of some alarming statistics. Consumers Union, which publishes Consumer Reports, estimates that 3.1 million smartphones were stolen in the United States last year, nearly double the number stolen in 2012. Americans lost and never recovered an additional 1.4 million phones, according to the consumer organization. Some victims have even been killed for their phones.
The cell phone industry has taken some steps to address the problem. Wireless carriers have created a database of stolen phones and have promised not to allow any phones in the database to be used on their networks. They've also pledged to install anti-theft software on all smartphones by July of next year.
But consumer advocates and law-enforcement officials have complained that those measures have been inadequate. Many stolen phones are resold overseas and activated on carriers that haven't signed on to the U.S. carriers' database. And the anti-theft software in place on phones now isn't turned on by default and may not be even under the carriers' new proposal.
So lawmakers have been stepping in. This week, the California Senate passed a bill that would require all smartphones sold in the state to have a "kill switch" that would allow users to remotely wipe and disable their phones. The legislation would require the feature to be turned on by default.
It's unclear whether the state Assembly will pass the legislation, or whether Gov. Jerry Brown will sign it. And the law wouldn't kick in until July of next year and wouldn't apply to older phones.
But here are some easy steps you can take right now to protect the data stored in your phone:
Set a passcode. All major smartphone operating systems -- Apple's iOS, Android, Windows Phone 8 and BlackBerry 10 -- allow users to require a passcode before the device can be unlocked. Without the passcode, thieves can't see your data.
Passcodes do require users to make a choice between security and convenience. The longer or more complicated the passcode, the more secure your device will be -- but also the more difficult and time consuming it will be to enter.
Fortunately, you have other options on some devices. Apple's iPhone 5s and Samsung's Galaxy S5 have fingerprint readers built into their home buttons that can be used instead of a passcode to unlock a device. Some Android devices include a facial recognition capability that can serve the same function. And many Android devices offer owners the option to use a pattern drawn on a three-by-three grid of dots as an unlock code.
Turn on the "find my phone" feature. Nearly every new smartphone includes a feature that allows users to find and remotely lock or erase it if lost.
On the iPhone, the feature is called "Find My iPhone," and users are prompted to configure it when they set up a new device. If you haven't turned it on already, you can do so by going to the iCloud area in the Settings app and flipping the feature's switch to on.
On Android devices, the feature is called Android Device Manager. Users have to turn on the feature in the Google Settings app, which is a separate app from the general phone Settings application.
Back up your phone. Perhaps the worst thing about losing a smartphone -- other than being out the money to replace it -- is losing all the data that was on it, particularly irreplaceable things like pictures and videos.
But all the major operating systems provide ways of backing up phones. Although each provider typically offers a free amount of storage, you may have to pay extra to back up your entire device to a cloud service. Apple, for example, charges $40 a year for 20 gigabytes of storage on iCloud.
That may sound like a lot at first blush, but it could feel like a bargain if your device gets stolen.

Some things in life simply change you and stretch your capabilities. Joining Crossfit has been one of those experiences. From the challenging WOD's to the encouragement you receive, you are pushed to become more then you think you are. While only a few months since joining I have learned a lot about fitness, dieting and myself.
Before Crossfit, I believed I was in decent shape. I would have sporadic visits to the gym, going quite often, but the habit would only last a month or two. In high school and college I prided myself on my strength and athleticism. Through college old habits would creep in and any gains I saw would fade away. I first heard about Crossfit during college where I played D-I rugby and dabbled trying out some WOD's while at the gym. I moved down to Virginia in 2011 without knowing a soul. A sedentary lifestyle and a bachelors diet became destructive. In the summer of 2012 I was the heaviest I had ever been at 290, I shook my head and would become depressed at a poor body image. Something needed to change.
Crossfit started becoming a habit when I found out a friend at church was a level 1 coach. We would workout in his house gym on Sundays and would keep up with one another during the week. Accountability is a big part of Crossfit and later that would increase when I participated in the Whole Life Challenge. I needed more and looked at my schedule for something that would fit. Introduce Crossfit Woodbridge.
CFW quickly became a motivating factor in life. Before the Whole Life Challenge started I had lost 14 pounds in two weeks and was hungry for more. Then we started the Whole Life Challenge. The mix of a points system (I cursed myself about 15 times when I forgot to log points), accountability, diet change and pushing myself at the gym started to payoff.
At CFW I have seen a lot of progress and proud accomplishments. During the Whole Life Challenge I lost seven inches around my hips and three around my waist. Fear would creep in that as I lost weight I would become weaker. I laughed away that fear when I PR'ed my back squat at 465 and have watched my bands get fewer and thinner on the almost daily pull-ups. I can't remember a time when I was in better shape and have enjoyed fitting into clothes sizes that I wore in high school. Taking the principles I have learned at CFW and introducing them to the people around me has become second nature. From my co-workers to the teenagers I teach, they have seen my transformation and want in (even when they laugh when I eat chicken without any rice). It is a happy moment when the students stop eating the cafeteria food and ask to eat the food I have brought, even when it is just vegetables.
Crossfit provides you a community to become something more. You dread the "no-rep" from the coaches but it motivates you to get it together and do it right. It becomes family as you push each other and cheer each other on as we all finish the WOD. Competition drives us all and motivates the soul. We are pack animals and need to know where we stand. It is exciting, humbling and joyful at the same time. Six in the morning is early, but when you can start the day laughing with one another and complete a WOD you can truly say you have accomplished more in one hour then ninety percent of people do in their entire day. You simply need to show up, the rest will take care of itself.
CFW is the total package. Great coaches, great members, great workouts. They want to see you accomplish more, a lot more then you can on your own, and go out of their way to see it happen. You will not find a better place to forge elite fitness, find community and have fun.

SAN FRANCISCO -- The America's Cup found itself in crisis on Friday, with questions about safety -- and even the storied event's future -- swirling a day after a celebrated sailor was killed when the Swedish team capsized its 72-foot catamaran during practice on a mild day in the bay.
But America's Cup officials, choked up and looking shellshocked at a morning news conference, said it was too early to say what caused the boat to nose-dive and turn upside down Thursday afternoon, trapping former British Olympian Andrew "Bart" Simpson underwater. They refused to speculate whether Simpson's death -- and the increasing uncertainty over the stability of the high-tech, cutting-edge boats -- could lead them to alter the boats' design or even cancel the America's Cup regatta that begins July 4.
"Nothing is off the table," said Stephen Barclay, CEO of the America's Cup Event Authority. "We will look at what happens from the review process."
On Friday, Artemis sailors hunkered in seclusion at their base in Alameda, consoling Simpson's wife and children while its crippled catamaran lay in a broken heap on Treasure Island. Larry Ellison's Oracle Team USA -- which capsized its boat last fall -- took its 72-footer off the water through Monday to allow crew members to mourn their fellow sailor and review safety. And with less than eight weeks before opening ceremonies July 4 for the world's most famous yacht race, investigations by the San Francisco police and the America's Cup into the deadly capsize have only just begun.
"I think you can't look at it as anything but a crisis," said Kimball Livingston, who co-authored the official America's Cup book, "Sailing on the Edge" and has covered every America's Cup race since 1980. "But the event will survive."
When someone asked during the news conference if Artemis had dropped out of the America's Cup, Barclay immediately replied, "absolutely not."
The America's Cup is in San Francisco because Oracle founder Larry Ellison won the 2010 America's Cup regatta and the right to choose the location. He also earned the right to choose the style of boat, and with input from sailors and boat designers, they settled on the 72-foot twin-hulled boat with a stiff main sail that reaches 130 feet.
That decision is now under intense scrutiny. The new design has pushed the sailors to speeds up to 45 mph -- three times faster than single-hulled boats that have traditionally competed for the cup.
Artemis Racing CEO Paul Cayard -- who was on the boat when it capsized -- made no comments Friday. But in recent months he expressed concern about the design. On his own sailing page, "Cayard Sailing," he wrote earlier this year: "These boats are overpowered, fragile and as we all know, the San Francisco Bay is very windy in July and August. ... Having the fastest boat is of little use if it can't get around the track."
Each of the four teams competing this summer -- Oracle, Artemis and teams from New Zealand and Italy -- have built two racing boats, one to compete, plus a spare. While Artemis' broken boat will not sail again, said regatta director Iain Murray, its second boat is still under construction and is supposed to be ready by early June.
In October, Artemis pushed back its initial launch of the now-doomed carbon fiber boat when it heard unusual noises just before setting sail. On Friday, America's Cup officials refused to speculate if the boat had structural problems.
Simpson, 36, who won gold and silver medals for Great Britain during the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, was submerged for 10 minutes after Thursday's 1 p.m. capsize with team divers from a nearby chase boat frantically searching for him, officials said. Efforts to revive him on the water and on the dock of the St. Francis Yacht Club were unsuccessful.
"It appears Bart was trapped under the solid sections of the boat, out of view and out of sight to the myriad people on board trying to locate him," said Murray, who is also CEO of America's Cup Race Management.
"We need to conduct the review to find out what happened," said Barclay. "Only after that's done will we be able to decide what, if anything, needs to be done to make sure something like this doesn't happen again."
All they knew on Friday was that the Artemis boat was doing a turning maneuver, bearing away from the wind, when the boat dug the front of its hulls into the water, then ended upside-down. Winds were blowing about 20 mph, which is normal for this time of year as well as the summer.
"I think it's safe to say what happened yesterday was not on the radar for any of us," Murray said.
Oracle experienced a similar capsize last fall, flipping end-over-end during the same maneuver. Oracle skipper Jimmy Spithill acknowledged afterward that he was "pushing the limits" for speed. Conditions were far rougher that day, though, and while the boat was damaged by choppy waters, no crew were injured.
After the Oracle capsize, America's Cup managers immediately reviewed their safety policies and required sailors, along with wearing life jackets and crash helmets, to carry knives and small oxygen canisters in case they get trapped under the trampoline net that connects the two pontoons. America's Cup officials on Friday couldn't specifically say what kind of equipment Simpson had or whether he was tethered to the boat.
"All the crews were trained for underwater," Murray said. "All carried oxygen and were meant to be prepared for the worst."
Any time a 72-footer is sailing on the bay, four chase boats from the team are required to follow it, including boats filled with doctors and first aid. Those features were all in place Thursday, Murray said.
While America's Cup flags flew at half staff along San Francisco's Embarcadero, a banner on the event's headquarters provided a poignant reminder of the risks of racing: "Sailing fast is easy," one said. "Maintaining control is critical."

PARKERSBURG - The Downtown Farmers' Marketplace will open this Friday for its summer season.
The market at Third and Market streets opens at 10 a.m. Friday, kicking off the season with another Big Free Flower Giveaway. The first 100 moms to stop by the Market Information Booth will get a free Dahlia Plant, courtesy of Dave's Greenhouse.
"Recognizing mother's in our community and showing them how much they are appreciated has become a tradition at the Marketplace," said Ann Conageski, development director for the city of Parkersburg. "We're fortunate to have a great partner in Dave's Greenhouse."
Organizers suggest those wanting a plant get to the event early, as in years past all 100 have been distributed in less than 30 minutes.
From 11a.m.-1p.m., Dan Cunningham, an acoustic/folk artist from Morgantown, performs live. Also known as "Pick 'N Dawg," Cunningham's New Appalachian Music incorporates the essential simplicity of the rural mountains while drawing on a diverse vocabulary of sounds. He has released five CDs, and was a semi-finalist in the song of the year contest and the acoustic roundtable worldwide singer/songwriter music search in 2011.
At noon, Gene Evans, program director for the Culinary Arts Academy at West Virginia University at Parkersburg, will hold a special cooking demonstration with some of his students. They will prepare dishes with vegetables and herbs that are typically available this time of year.
"By using local foods, Gene is showcasing 'farm to table' best practices," said Rickie Yeager, city planner and organizer with the Market. "That is one of the reasons we established a community garden at the Marketplace this year."
The community garden is adjacent to the market and was built by staff from Public Works Park's Division. The garden is sponsored in part by the city of Parkersburg and the Highmark Foundations Let's Move Cities, Towns and Counties Grant. It will be maintained by the Wood County Master Gardeners. Organizers and volunteers will establish the garden on Friday. They will plant a variety of herbs and vegetables including tomatoes, colored peppers, lettuce, yellow squash, bush beans, cucumbers, basil, swiss chard, chives and baby pumpkins.
Also new this year is the Market's Veggie Valet Program. The marketplace has made arrangements to store goods at the Blennerhasset Hotel until they can be picked up after business hours. Items will be stored at appropriate temperatures to ensure they do not go bad. The program was designed with downtown employees in mind.
"In our survey last year, several people indicated that it was difficult to purchase plants or meat products, because they didn't have any way to store them at the office. This free, new service is one way we're addressing that issue," Yeager said.
To pick-up goods, simply present a numbered ticket to the hotel's valet or front desk staff.
"Similar programs have been implemented in market's across the country," Yeager said. "We hope people will take advantage of it."
To learn more about the program, speak with an organizer at the information booth.
For more information, including a calendar of events and list of participating vendors, visit www.parkersburgfarmersmarket.com. The Downtown Farmers' Marketplace is also on Facebook and distributes a monthly newsletter. The market is open from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. every Tuesday and Friday, May through September.

Quote: Remember the days when Public Enemy were necessary, relevant? Remember when Rage Against The Machine put out new material? What about the first time you heard Anti-Flag or Against Me!? No, Im not referencing the 90′s, but a young band making great music.
New Englands Prayers for Atheists glide between poingnant, Minor Threat-esque lyricism and urgency and history-lesson-like wordsmithing akin to Chuck Ds, over quick riffage and snappy percussion. Also known as the only punk band to be on Sage Francis Strange Famous Records, Prayers for Atheists make the kind of music anyone who has ever appreciated the 1980′s hardcore-punk scene can relate to.

In 2008 journalist Bill Bishop achieved the kind of notice that authors dream about. His book, The Big Sort: Why the Clustering of Like-Minded America Is Tearing Us Apart, was mentioned regularly during the presidential campaign; most notably, former president Bill Clinton urged audiences to read the book. Bishop's thesis is that Americans increasingly are choosing to live in neighborhoods populated with people just like themselves. In turn, these residential choices have produced a significant increase in geographic political polarization. Bishop does not contend that people consciously decide to live with fellow Democrats or Republicans; rather political segregation is a byproduct of the correlations between political views and the various demographic and life-style indicators people consider when making residential decisions. Whatever the cause, Bishop contends that the resulting geographic polarization is a troubling and dangerous development.

Stash is an excellent high-energy opener and the rest of the set follows suit. Foam has a great outro jam. Longer than average pause in Divided Sky, Hello My Baby sounds nice with minimal crowd yelling (unmic'd).
Set two has a short 2001 with awesome segue in to Maze. The maze keeps the high energy feel of this show going, peaking hard. Suzy has some very cool and well executed teases as well as a very unique outro. The HYHU Fish antics are great. Lope again takes us to our high peaky place. Contact has a bit of extra love in the funky breakdown, Page adds a lot of flavor here... eventually a very abrupt segue in to BBFCFM. Coil is excellent and the outro is just over 5min, pure beauty from Page.
This recording certainly needed some love and has been remastered by me. You can download it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?u5v4i1keiarl1
