Hi Christine,
Welcome aboard and glad you could join us
Tell us alittle about yourself
How long youve been running?
what your training for?
anything your willing to share about our sport
It's not only about finishing, its about finishing healthy!
Hi Dennis~
Thanks for the welcome.
I just began running again about a year and a half ago. I hadn't ran since HS and that was a while ago.
I have ran 3 5k's in that time and am now going for something very challenging.
I am currently training for my 1st 10 mile race at the end of November. I have been seriously training for it for about 2months.
Tips to share... stay consistent with whatever your training for. It'll pay off in the end.
It's great you are challenging yourself and willing to extend your distance in your training. Im currently in Taperville (word for light training before a race) waiting for my first full marathon race on Oct 26th. I have trained for over 2 years for this run. Over this time I have run 5ks, 10ks, 15ks, a 30k and 3 half marathons. I was not a runner really over my life but have really enjoyed it over the last 2 years. I left high school a while ago too!
tips are always good.....
My tip to share: Pay attention to what your body is says, it will tell you everything you need to know!
Keep us upto date on your progress Good or bad!
It's not only about finishing, its about finishing healthy!
Wow! You have put a lot of time and effort into your training, i wish you luck in your marathon.
I will be doing a "hard" 3miles on Sunday to see how fast i can actually do it. I am adjusting to the cooler weather which is a challenge. I never know how to dress for it.
I got back into this again after my long "dry spell" when i watched a few friends of mine compete in a triathlon. I realized how much i missed it and wanted to start again.
It's certainly been fun. My goal for this race is to finish it. Not too much worried about my time as i am about finishing the race. My training has gone really well thus far and i'm thrilled about that.
So, what do you do during the Taperville period in preparation for the Marathon? I have not heard of that before.
Christine goodluck on Sunday run!
Thank you also
I know how you feel and the adjusting to the weather, living here in Michigan the weather can get quite cold, which i really like! During the summer It was hard for me to train even though it really wasnt that hot this year, but I made it through and you can too.
They really call it Taper running, but in the Marine Marathon forum on Active they call it tapervile, cause most of the people there run multiple Marathons a year.
Taperville is just the last couple of weeks (depends on your training plan how many weeks) it cuts your running down roughly 50 to 70 percent to help rebuild and recover before the big one. Its nice to only have to run 18 miles in a week instead of 40 week a and the this coming week I only 10 but run 26.2 next sunday.
Let us know how it goes on Sunday......
It's not only about finishing, its about finishing healthy!
Thanks for explaning that. I understand that now.
Thanks for wishing me luck, i have a goal in mind so we'll see what happens.
I currently run at a 10-11 min mile depends on how i feel that day. It'll come down the longer i train i know.
I like running in the early fall, early spring as opposed to the dead of summer. Here in St. Louis it gets very humid.
I ran a race called Mud Mountain this past July and it's cross country. You run through the forest and wow does it take some adjusting with the temperature.
I have all the right clothing to run in the fall so i too am sure i'll be ok too.
Did you do a run today or is today a rest day?
Have you run yet? I'm sure it went great. As for me Im off today and I did run yesterday morning. I put in my last long run of 8 1/2 miles and it felt very good but it was pretty cool yesterday morning, I think aroiund 40 degrees. I only have 3 for tomorrow, 4 on wednesday and 3 on friday.
I completely agree with you on spring and fall, the cooler weather does wonders for me. I also enjoy running early in the morning. Im up around 4:30 to 4:45 and out the door by 5:00am. During the week before work I put in 6 1/2 miles and my long runs are always on Saturday so I can rest and recover afterward.
I really wenjoy the morning because I can get it done and not have to worry about running after work. Thetime to run isnt for everyone that is for sure, plus very few people or cars on the road at this time too. I live ina semi rural area so I run dirt roads mostly when I train, but I have trained in the City years ago, and like it much better where im at now.
I havent ran any forest races yet, but i did run through heck ( you know the word for down there where the devil is it gets filtered) there is a town called that here and they have a 10 miler every yea, have a shirt to prove it too!
keep up the great time on your miles and it always depends on how you feel when it comes to your time.
Just remember stay injury free.....
It's not only about finishing, its about finishing healthy!
Hey there!
Yep, i ran this morning and am recovering from it now.
I did a 28:14 3 mile run. My absolute best time EVER for a 3 mile. I'm so stinkin' excited i did that it's crazy!
I really enjoyed the run today, it was a challenge to make myself keep going at a speed i know was faster than i usually run, yet realizing the end was near.
Your runs sounds great, i have a 4 1/2 miler on Tuesday, tomorrow is strength and stretch day. I so agree with staying injury free, that's so important.
You have to watch your form, your heels not scuffing the ground, and your breathing. Along with stretching good before and after and the proper nutrition.
It's an interesting array of things that help you stay healthy.
Well this week i'm preparing for 10 miles on Sunday. Doing my usual training until then. So far so good.
This past Sunday i did 8 in about 1 1/2hrs. Which isn't too bad and it's only going to be better from here.
Just thought i'd update.
Thats Awesome!!!!!!! CONGRATS TO YOU!!!
I have a update to, i just got home yesterday from DC. I ran my first marathon on Sunday and it was AWESOME (for the lack of a better word)!! i finished in 3:58:58, right at my goal under 4 hours. Im looking forward to my next one most likely in the spring time.......
Keep up the Great work!!
It's not only about finishing, its about finishing healthy!
That is fantastic! Way to go on your goal and on finishing! Nice job
Thanks, i'm working hard and a month from tomorrow is my race, the anticipation is near.
I'm sure you'll do awesome in the spring as well.
An udate of sorts.
Today was a fantastic day to run! It was 75 degree's out and sunny with a slight breeze, absolutely heavenly!
I ran 10 miles today. I was so glad to get out there. Running puts me in a much better mood, a wonderful thing.
I feel pretty good so far, we'll just have to see how tomorrow and Tuesday Go. Those are my tell all days.
I hope your recovering well Dennis from your race last week.
Only 27 days till my race. If i get a day like today i'm going to be stoked!
Thanks for th update, And its Awesome your training is going great! You will Aesome Whether the weather is great or not.....
For me, Recovery is going great too, I did a 10K race yesterday and pulled a 3rd place in my Age Group!!! WOOOHHOO for me....B-)
Also I have a 5k and a 10k this coming Sunday 11/9 and Im looking forward to it.
Oh one more thing, I signed up for my first Marathon for next year... It april 26 and its local...... trail Marathon.......
Awesome Job for You........
It's not only about finishing, its about finishing healthy!
How was your 10k Dennis?
I am only 18 days away from my race. It's getting exciting, yet i'm still calm about it all. Since i've already ran 10 miles it doesn't intimidate me as much as it did when i first started out. If that makes sense.
I am in the stay healthy mode right now. Still running, still training, yet making sure i stay healthy and of course injury free.
My foot was really tender after i ran the 10 miles yet it's fine now. One of those things that can happen after running that far.
I hope you've been doing well.

SANTA CRUZ -- Surfers and swimmers had been warned: a high surf advisory along the coast meant the waters here could be deadly. The fire department even stationed would-be rescuers on the cliff. But the boogie boarder at the center of a tragedy that unfolded Friday afternoon apparently chose to ignore the warnings.
Authorities on Saturday had not released the name of the man caught up Friday afternoon in a drama that held witnesses spellbound. They watched as he paddled about the growing swells. They watched as lifeguards went out to warn him of the danger. And then, later, they watched as another set of huge waves throw him against the rocks and to his death.
About 4:30 p.m. Friday, two lifeguards on Jet Skis went to check on the man, who was on a boogie board wearing fins, said Rob Young, a battalion chief for the Santa Cruz Fire Department.
He was kicking and paddling calmly when the lifeguards checked on him, said witness Kate Falconer.
Yet something didn't seem right, said Falconer, who had called 911 to alert authorities that the man might need some help. She said he was floating in a stretch of surf "where people normally don't hang out."
Yet despite warnings that the surf was dangerous and being told that he should move, the man, who appeared to be in his 20s or 30s, assured the lifeguards he was fine, Young said. After watching him for about 10 minutes, he said, the lifeguards left.
John F. Hunter, a professional photographer from Capitola, was on the cliff watching the man. He said the boogie boarder appeared to be out of his element.
"You take one look at him,'' said Hunter, "and he just didn't look like he had experience in heavy surf like that."
The man was positioned in front of a large rock and spectators on the cliff yelled to him, trying to get him to move away. Hunter said "everybody was screaming. It was intense."
The rough seas were not a surprise to the people on the cliff. The National Weather Service Station in Monterey had issued a high surf advisory for the day, predicting swells from 11 to 13 feet. Josh Coleman, marine safety captain for the city's fire department, said rescuers were poised in the ocean, regularly making contact with people in the water to ensure they were safe.
"It was a dynamic surf, strong currents and incoming tide," he said. "The sun was setting, and you had just larger than normal surf."
Not long after rescuers talked to the boogie boarder, a large set of waves came in, Falconer said. "After the second wave, he got hit really hard," she said. "It took him right into the rocks."
Witnesses flagged down rescuers and said the same man was in distress, with waves pushing him into a rocky area between the rocks and the mainland, known as the toilet bowl.
"All the currents were converging against the rocks," Young said. "He probably banged into the rocks and into the heavy foam. It's hard to stay afloat."
Two rescue swimmers were sent in -- one coming in from a jet ski and another jumping from the cliff -- to pull the man out but couldn't get to him because of the waves, Young said.
The rescuers were overwhelmed by the rough surf and struggled to swim around the rocks themselves, Hunter said.
"They couldn't even get to the guy," Hunter said. "They had to drop their flotation device because it was dragging them into the rocks, too."
The rescue was made difficult by the large swells and 10-foot waves, Young said.
The rescue swimmers, who suffered injuries themselves after swallowing water and being swept up against rocks, suffered from exhaustion and eventually got out themselves. They then boarded a Santa Cruz Harbor Patrol boat and were taken to Dominican Hospital for treatment, Young said.
A second set of rescue swimmers were sent in and were able to pull out the man, Young said.
Rescuers, including Santa Cruz city lifeguards, brought him to Cowell Beach. From there he was taken by ambulance to Dominican Hospital, where he later died.

Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Transcripts, Day 19: Electronic Edition
Pages 6 - 10 of 217
|<< 1-5
|11-15 >
|216-217 >>
1 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] Yes, I could have described that as "a" Holocaust, but
2I would, of course, make a distinction between that and
3"the" Holocaust as it has come to be known. One can use
4the term "Holocaust". It is, I believe, used for any
5event which involves large scale fire or burnings commonly
6used in every day reporting. That is a distinct thing
7from "the" Holocaust which I think has a special meaning.
8 Q. [Mr Irving] That is the etymology of the word. It means "consumed by
9fire" or "sacrificed by fire". Are you aware that in your
10report the phrase "Holocaust denier" occurs 261 times?
11 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] I have to confess I did not count.
12 Q. [Mr Irving] In fact, the words "denier" or "denial" occur 352 times,
13which is a degree of repetition, would you agree? Are you
14obsessed with Holocaust deniers?
15 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] I most certainly am not. I have to say I have not really
16confronted the phenomenon until this case but, of course,
17it is at the centre. It is perhaps the central issue in
18this case and so I think, since I was asked to write about
19it in my report, it is inevitable that that phrase occurs
20many times.
21 Q. [Mr Irving] You say you were not confronted with it until this trial.
22Do you normally write about things you have not studied in
23any kind of depth?
24 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] I think that historians always need to move on to new
25subjects, face a new challenge, otherwise they would be
26endlessly repeating themselves.
1 Q. [Mr Irving] Can I draw your attention to page 206 of the book which
2you wrote? Do you recognize the book that you wrote?
3This is the American edition?
4 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] Yes, indeed.
5 Q. [Mr Irving] I will just read out a passage, if I may, of your own
6words from page 206: "Holocaust denier literature which
7declares that six million Jews were never murdered by the
8Nazis and that Auschwitz and similar extermination camps
9are fabrications of a postwar anti-German proJewish
10political lobby" -- is the way you still define Holocaust
11denial, the statement that Auschwitz and the other camps
12did not exist?
13 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] Could I have a look at that passage, please?
14 Q. [Mr Irving] Yes. It is on page 206 of the book.
15 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] Thank you very much.
16 Q. [Mr Irving] What I am asking you is has your position changed in view
17of the ----
18 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] Page and what?
19 Q. [Mr Irving] 206. It is the paragraph beginning "Extreme relativism"
20and towards the end of that paragraph, I repeat: "Thus
21'Holocaust denial literature' which declares that six
22million Jews were never murdered by the Nazis and that
23Auschwitz and similar extermination camps are fabrications
24of a postwar anti-German proJewish political lobby". My
25question is this. Is this the way you define Holocaust
26denial now or have you changed?
1 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] Yes. That is rather carelessly phrased, I am afraid.
2I think I was trying to say there -- "extermination" is
3the central word there, that such camps were used mainly
4or exclusively for extermination. I can see what you
5mean. It is slightly carelessly phrased, I have to admit.
6 Q. [Mr Irving] Is it possible to accept that the Nazis murdered in the
7most brutal manner very large numbers of Jews by whatever
8means and still be a Holocaust denier, in your view?
9 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] That depends on what you mean by "very large numbers".
10I think I defined in my report what I mean by Holocaust
12 Q. [Mr Irving] Like one or two million people. Would that be acceptable?
13 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] I think you have to take the different -- I have listed
14four what I think are central elements of the Holocaust
16 Q. [Mr Irving] Yes.
17 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] And those four elements I think go together, they do
18include a minimisation of numbers.
19 Q. [Mr Irving] So any reduction of the numbers, whatever, is a denial?
20 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] I think it is difficult to be very precise about this.
21I say in my report that the generally accepted number by
22historians is between 5 and 6 million, and there are a
23number of disputes about that, but it does go together
24with the three other conditions of Holocaust denial which
25I lay out in my report. Of course, I think I do say in my
26report that some people would, as it were, fall into one
1category of the four, but not into the others.
2 Q. [Mr Irving] Yes. Were these four categories arbitrarily set up by
3you, like to make them fit like a shoe the Claimant in
4this present case, or did you always have these categories
5in mind long you before you were commissioned to be an
6expert witness in this case?
7 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] Neither, to be honest. When I was commissioned to be an
8expert witness, of course the first thing I did was to
9study the literature on Holocaust denial, and from that
10literature, as you can see from my report, I go through it
11at some length. There are varying different definitions
12of conditions by the different political scientists and
13historians who have written about it, but those four
14I think are common to all of the definitions that I looked
15at in the course of preparing this report.
16 Q. [Mr Irving] Yes. They do vary, though, do they not, these four sets
17of definitions by the different authors?
18 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] I do not think these four sets really vary. Of course
19they are put in slightly different ways and different
20authors add on other conditions, some of them peculiar to
21the time at which they were writing.
22 Q. [Mr Irving] So, if somebody was to knock off two or three million
23arbitrarily from the figures, that would be Holocaust
25 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] If it is arbitrary, then I think it involves an element
26therefore of falsification of history, which then I think
1falls into that category, but I do want to stress that
2these four conditions should be taken together.
3 MR JUSTICE GRAY: It is not all or nothing, is it? You can get
4somebody who is an outright 100 per cent denier and
5somebody who perhaps does not deny it to the same full
6blooded extent?
7 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] Exactly, my Lord, it is not a hard and ----
8 Q. [Mr Justice Gray] I think arguing about definitions is not hugely
10 MR IRVING: I agree, my Lord. We should not really be asking
11an expert witness about meanings of words, I appreciate
12that, my Lord, but I am working towards something. You
13have a little bundle of documents in front of you, a loose
14bundle called F?
15 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] I do not, actually.
16 Q. [Mr Irving] Will you turn to page (it should be) 37, which is a
18 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] They are numbered on the bottom?
19 Q. [Mr Irving] They are numbered on the bottom, the one after that
21 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] Yes.
22 Q. [Mr Irving] Do you agree that that says it is a plaque, is that
23correct, a memorial plaque?
24 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] That is right, yes.
25 Q. [Mr Irving] Do you recognize that plaque?
26 A. [Professor Richard John Evans] I do not, to be honest, no.

1st Set:
Wonderfully intimate audience.
Limb By Limb starts off the show. Audience very reactive and appreciative. Trey explodes after the lyrics stops, and the anticipation of his solo begins. Limb features a very mellow, repetitive, trance-like proto-whale call jam. Early example and effective example of the whale call!
Straight forward, chugging Back on the Train.
Next, Sample. Not much to say. Straightforward.
First Tube: For orchestrated song, the intensity can vary at times. This one gets off to an edgy start with some feedback. Let's see where this takes us... It's taking it where most First Tubes take us, to dopamine induced goose bump territory. Great, high energy, jam, with some variation from Trey. Great build up to wall of sound. Ends, and fizzles out into more feedback. Beautiful.
Golgi. Once again, not much for me to say. It's Golgi. As always, a beautiful middle jam. I always find the Golgi jam in Bittersweet Motel, which serves as a bridge to the next scene in the movie, where they are in Rochester, to be quite beautiful. This is as well, and it is nice to hear it in such an intimate setting.
Heavy Thing: Ever since Big Cypress, I have compared every Heavy Things to that version. Let's compare. Ok, so far it sounds just like Big Cypress but about 84,500 less people in the audience. Let's see how the jam goes. Love Trey's note loop throughout the song including the jam. Nice metronome of sorts. Very pretty, distinct note playing by Trey. Fish is a human metronome. Fish should hereby be known as The Metro Gnome. Mike and Page are so low in the mix I can hardly hear them. Trey starts getting very note happy near the end of Heavy Things. I enjoy it a lot.
Dirt: Another pretty straightforward song. The intimacy of the venue really is conducive to the beginning of Dirt. Very attentive crowd. Pretty jam.
My Sweet One: Very unconventional start to My Sweet One. I love it. I've always been a sucker for this song. I mean, who doesn't love an Oom Pah Pah in the middle of a song? "PLAY IT LEO, PLAY IT! PLAY IT!" "WOOOOOOHOOOOOO!" They're having fun. Must've been a blast to be at this small show.
David Bowie: Dark, dark, dark intro. High hat starts. Mike plucks minor notes...Oops! Aborted David Bowie. Reba instead. Love it.
Reba: Wonder what that was all about. Solid composed section so far. Virtually flawless. Looking forward to the chill. And we are now chilling. Mike takes strong lead. Beautiful chugging by Mike. Trey dropping pin notes with Mike starting to fall into line with the musical canvas being created. Page lighting some beautiful harmonics with his keys. I have no idea what that means, but I like the sound of it. Very chill, and very beautiful. Trey is worming his way out of the chill. Creating striking melodies against this textural backdrop created. Some feedback from Trey as Page starts hitting notes harder. Trey takes on a slightly harder tone. Mike and Fish still laying down groove, far in the background. Trey repeating the same phrase over and over. Then trilling higher, and more often, fluttering further away from the chill. A certain growl is beginning to come forth from Trey's playing. He is lighting up, bringing the majestic IT that is Phish into this song. The band continues to support this, and then Trey hits the first high note. He continues with his sonic performance, incorporating more feedback, chirping, wailing now. Pure, compressed notes, creating a beautiful tapestry of music. The rest of the band finally strays from groove and for a few seconds drop off into dissonance. They pick the groove back up, and Trey continues to play more notes than Mike would like. I love it though. Reba is really soaring now at 14:11. Whale calls begin. Tasteful whale call, with Fish hitting the tom toms to end the jam. Whistling. Great Reba. I've heard better, but for a room that size that was one hell of a treat for those in the room.
Character Zero: I've never been a fan of this song, yet I always enjoy it once I'm immersed in Mulcahy. I bet I'll like this one. I'll report back in a few minutes.... Strange. Trey seems to be singing the chorus a bit behind the timing of the song. Well, now it sounds normal, except Trey seems like he's in slo mo. Getting back to normal. Maybe I'm hearing things. Oh well. Wait, there it is again. Damn it. Trey, sing it right. Ah. Ahhhh. Ah. Guitar. 3.0 Zeros are better. Damn, I never thought I'd say that. But, this uncompressed Trey does sound quite nice. It's about this time that I'd start getting all introspective, and then annoyed with myself. Damn it. Compress that guitar! Wait, I like this! Forget about 3.0's being better. This is nice! Aha, Trey really is screwing with the timing! Go Trey! Gamehendge Time Machine! Mulcahy! Still uncompressed guitar. Fish riding that cymbal. Trey now creating dissonant feedback coupled with his uncompressed growls. Love it. Now this is just wtf territory. I think I just mentally face palmed. Wow. Great jam, what song is this again? Whoa, breakdown!? Huh? Ouch. Yikes. Hot coals, jumping all over the place. What the hell is this? Oh, Character Zero. I'm not a fan of Character Zero, I almost forget.
End set.
Set 2:
Runaway Jim: Ruh oh. Off the bat, this is different. Trey is singing it a bit different from other Jims. Great middle jam, notes are slightly different from the usual. Trey is all over the place, ultra silent, then explosive response. Taking this middle jam into all sorts of places before Jim came home, when he was 17. You need to hear this. Whoooooooooooa, Runaway Jim. Now onto the meat of this Jim. Echoing, minimal note playing by Trey. Band filling in nicely, creating a textured groove. Mike sounds great. Page and Fish creating a beautiful tapestry for Trey and Mike to interplay and create magic. Feedback increases. Trey starts whistling notes with guitar through feedback. Minimalist, yet soaring. At the 8:40 mark, and it sounds like Phish is playing Runaway Jim from behind a filter, behind a wall, behind an amp, with a drummer on stage playing along with them. It sounds like song is coming to an end at 9:30. But wait! No, it's not. Instead, the jam takes on an elvish quality. More lilting quality. Feedback is disappearing. And playful, spritely playing emerges. Very percussive guitar playing now, no sustain. Strumming, drumming, no humming. Page lays down some great synth. At least I think that is what it is. Takes the jam in a totally different direction, Trey is now bursting with notes again, and the jam moves into a frenetic pace. Halfway mark and this is simply gorgeous. Crowd is eating it up. Trey is playing a cyclical riff, over and over and over and over. Page is joining in with this rhythmic jam. Beautiful complementary jamming by all four. Trey has a note sustained, and seems to be dragging his pic down one of his strings while note is playing. This is creating a descending vibe to the jam. It starts dropping into a chugging, dark place. The trolls are now coming out to dance. They have now landed on Saturn. They are right at home. Organ now takes a prominent role, but still very minimalist. Electropop Phish 2000! Totally percussive jamming across the board. Elves and trolls hopping arm in arm. Little worms wiggling in pairs. The troll kicks his boot in the elf's face. The Elf laughs and shakes his foot in time with the music. People are clapping along with the 4 minstrels from Gamehendge as they continue playing their nose picking electroTolkienpop. Now it sounds like HAL has inhaled helium and is letting out random vocalizations. Burping on helium in a melody. Woodblocks filtered through Mars. Peter Frampton eat your heart out. 23:00 mark. It sounds like it's over. Feedback is emanating. Deep bass note. Feedback continues. More ominous bass. Sounds like ghosts "booooooooooo"ing. Trilling note from Trey rising above ominous sounds. More electrospookiness. Could be music during a horror scene in a movie. Something is going to happen. I can tell. Twilight Zone-ish now. Don't step into the darkness. High-hat from Fish over ominous sounds. Sounds begin to evoke being underwater. We're in an underwater planetarium. Seek this Jim out. A must hear.
Theme From The Bottom: Beautiful outro from Jim into Theme. Man, seriously, you need to hear that Jim. Might be my new favorite. Haven't heard anything like that in a long time. Gorgeous. How the hell do they play music that "makes sense?" What does that even mean? Anyhow, back to Theme. Dig under rocks. This song always makes me want to rock side to side. I'm doing that right now. Keep what's important and know who's your friend. Now my heading is bobbing too as he's swimming by. Ok, lyrics out of the way. Trey comes in with riff, but not before plucking some jammy notes. Seems like he forgot about that fantastic riff that always should have been in Theme, but there it is again, now we hit the full jam, and Trey hits it! Beautiful choice of notes. Soaring guitar lead. This song never fails to get me grooving. Jam enters trance-like, loopy section. This goes on for a couple of minutes, and then Trey (or Page) comes in with high, piercing notes. Loopy, high pitched feedback notes continue, and then familiar ending of song emerges, but then it fades into gorgeous melodic guitar playing by Trey. Very mellow. Chill rock. And then we have
Dog Faced Boy: Wow, right from Theme. Jim > Theme > Dog Faced Boy, must hear. Beginning notes of Dog Faced Boy evoke Summer of 89 melody. Never heard that before. Nothing else stands out in DFB other than its segue from Theme.
Driver: Nice additional cool off after Jim > Theme. Not that they raged, but they were hard on the brain.
Slave to the Traffic Light: Interested to see where they take this after the Jim > Theme. Very interesting atonal (is that the right word) beginning. Then, slowly, you hear the notes of Slave begin. If you havent noticed, the music evokes driving down a road. Traffic light is green. As you approach it, it turns yellow, then red. You wait, and it turns green. You continue driving. Yellow, red ..GREEN! Lyrics happen, and then instrumental bridge. Trey is playing an ascending monstrous note, and gets higher and higher. He then plays the reverse descending monstrous note. Dark, dark stuff. Now we get the green light, and off we go for our drive. I think this will be a rough drive. Audience is loving this. All 30 people (or so it sounds). Oh to be at this show. Ok, very mellow playing, yet the audience is clapping and cheering ecstatically. Something happened there, and I have no idea what. But, the audience loved it. Wonder what it was. Anyone know? Ok, so jam is proceeding. Fish is just starting to lay down mellow snare hits. Trey is slowly building up the Slave jam. Typical Slave jam so far, not dark like I thought it would be. Stil the chordal layering, uplifting jam that we are all familiar with in Slave. Growing more intense. There is the signature wail! Slave is now siaring. Guitar reaches higher. Evocative of the Clifford Ball Slave. Soloing Trey, rising and rising. Higher and higher! Hands in the air. Soak this in. Chills down your back. Lights flaring up. Phish is louder, more transcendent, glorious! Reaches its peak! Yellow, red, green! Yellow, red, green! Yellow, red; yellow, red; yellow, red, green! Segues into
Julius: Another Character Zero song. I dont like it. Yet, I always love it when I hear it. So far Im not loving it. But, I am loving the fact that it sounds like they are playing in my living room. Give me a few minutes, Ill be babbling again about how glorious the jam is. Lets see if Im right. Theres that weird timing again. Trey seems to be slowing down. Speed it up Trey! Oops, little flub by Trey, hes just itching to hit the improve section. Not much passion in the lyrics, but the jam has now begun. Very playful. Very jazzy. Very not Julius right away. Yet, its very Julius at the same time. Yes, this is Julius, but again, very minimalist. Deconstructionist Trey is at it again. Lets see if he can tear apart Mr. Caesar. Theres that stuttering guitar that I know all too well from Clifford Ball Fluffhead. Its reared its ugly head again, if only for a second. Oops, theres Machine Gun Trey. Make up your mind, Ernest. Well, that Julius did not blow me away, but as the outro chorus comes back in, Trey lays down some wonderful ascending notes. Very great guitar play. Just wailing along at the end now. End song, Mike blows into the Mike as he runs his hand down the neck of the bass. Great ending to any song. Seek out the Julius that was on Letterman, you can see what Im talking about.
Bug: As with Heavy Things, I compare all Bugs to Big Cypress Bug. Many people dislike this song. I love it. Very meaningful to me, even though it is cryptic. Somber bass .BUG! It doesnt matter. BUG! It doesnt matter. BUG! It doesnt matter. Over rated. Much prefer these versions to the current reworked Bug. And there is the end jam. Will always remember the red lights from Big Cypress. Must be incredible to see this in Zepp Osaka. It doesnt matter! It doesnt matter! Love Treys guitar work here. This song reminds me of life. Majestic, yet sad. Happy, yet questioning. Machine gun Trey at work again. Introspective sums up this song. Good, solid version. Rocking out at the end. PLAYING HARD! Really, really raging. Trey has a loop going, and has multiple solos playing. At least it sounds that way. More and more layered. Deeper and deeper. Head baffling, jamming. Slinking out. The note pulls me along. There are the lyrics again, I am brought back to earth. It doesnt matter.
End set.
Bouncing Around the Room: Bouncing. What else can I say? Actually, I can say something. Pages lyric, I awoke and faintly bouncing round the room, the echo of whomever spoke, sounds like its sung by Fish. Is that possible?
Harry Hood: Into Hood. Weird vampy Mike solo in beginning. Crowd eats it up. Trey feedback. Weirdness. Bass, cowbells. Back into reggae groove. Mike is leading this intro, along with Fish. Fish is all over the place. Drum solo .of sorts. Back into Hood groove. Mike solo again. Greatness. Mike is now all over the place. Now Page solos. Page sounds like he burped, but it was a Saturnian burp his keys. Trey mightve done something really strange there. Whole band weirdness now. Speedy jazz now. Mike is milking that bass. HARRY! HARRY! WHERE DO YOU GO WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT? Where do you go? Enter whimsical bridge. Twirly. Bouncy! Smirking. Lip curls. Squinted eyes. Whos there? Goodbye. Hello! Goodbye. Uh oh. Jump, squat, jump, squat. Jump, squat, jump, squat. Up, down, up down. Left right. Left right. Bamp bamp bamp bamp bamp bamp. Drum roll, orchestrated jam builds, audience soars. Everything quiet. Ascending, descending keys. A monster emerges from Trey. Wailing guitar. Thank you Mr. Miner. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------. Thank you Mr. Miner. Thank you Mr. Miner. Thank you Mr. Miner. Thank you Mr. Miner. Thank you Mr. Hood. Enter glorious section of Hood. Gentle soloing by Trey. Soft notes, high in the register. Building in intensity. Standard jamming. Major key, uplifting, enjoyable. Floating above the music. Bird flapping its wings, disappears into clouds. A wave approaches. The wave breaks. Gentle. Notes playing in the ether. Floating still. Drifting away. Softer. Gliding along, over nothing. Gliding. Speeding up. Flying faster. It begins raining. Flying faster. Shooting upward. Flapping wings. Fluttering. Darting back and forth. Sun breaks through the clouds. Flying faster, join the flock, mass of birds flying en masse as one whole unit now. Treys guitar pierces the scene. Trilling the same notes over and over, harder, faster, feedback. Glorious note arrives. Shooting light in every direction. Hosing the audience. Sustained note, feedback. Embracing this jam, letting it fill me up. My head is spinning. Headphones melt into my ears. Heading towards the end. Feedback, more feedback. Ending arrives. You can feel good, I feel good, good about Hood. I feel good! Although that ending didnt really happen. Instead the show ends with massive feedback. Loop. Feedback cuts. Band slams down to finish.
Great show. Totally arbitrary, but I give it a 3 out of 5. The Jim > Theme was a solid 5 out 5 though. 5 out of what? I dont know.

So i am streaming mp4's to my ps3 and have 2 options. Both work great, but I was wondering which is better.
1. stream mp4 with no encoding (it is clean, but cant have subtitles)
2. reencode with mencoder: has switch to tmuxer when mp4 and no subtitles
so whats the point of using mencoder/tmuxer VS no encode on mp4's?
besides being able to have subtitles on them, does mencoder/tmuxer yeild better quality?
i'm just curious which I should use,

OAKLAND -- Their shots weren't falling. They had no big men. The season was on the line. The fouls were mounting. And the lack of air conditioning had Oracle Arena feeling like a summer rec league.
The Warriors had a few things working in their favor in Game 6, the only things keeping this undermanned squad in this series: heart, hustle, togetherness.
"That's who we are," Warriors coach Mark Jackson said. "And now, against the No. 3 seed, with two of the top-10 players in the world, a future Hall of Fame coach, and we're going to Game 7. In spite of all the sideline music. And I like my chances because I got a group of guys who are willing to do whatever it takes."
Thursday's 100-99 victory to force a Game 7 was just about the perfect snapshot of what Jackson brings to the table as a coach.
It was ugly, far from the fun and frenetic aesthetic that's been a staple of this franchise. It was disjointed at times and wide-open to second-guessing.
But in the end, the results exceeded the circumstance. They overcame their ills with their resolve. With logic and reality stacked against them, they relied on chemistry and execution.
The Warriors opted for small ball, but they were forced into it when watching their third center go down.
Jermaine O'Neal, the 18-year veteran who's been pivotal for the hobbled Warriors front line, was knocked out of the game early in the second quarter by the Clippers' Glen Davis. X-rays on his sprained right knee, hyperextended when Davis crashed into his legs, were negative but he was ruled out for the second half.
Starting center and defensive stalwart, Andrew Bogut, is forced to watch the games from the training room, laying on his back. With his fractured rib dangerously close to his lung, he can't risk too much activity. An accidental elbow to his side on the crowded bench risks cracking the rib and puncturing his lung. Plus Bogut said just breathing is laborious.
Festus Ezeli, who started most of last season, is back on the court. But he hasn't recovered enough from the knee surgery he had a year ago to suit up.
Still, with only forwards as their big men, the Warriors defended at an elite level. The Clippers shot 36.8 percent. Draymond Green gave Blake Griffin fits, as the Clippers All-Star needed 24 shots to get 17 points before fouling out.
"I thought both teams played poorly," Griffin said. "I think they just grinded it out more than us."
David Lee had been getting destroyed by the Clippers big men most of this series. Thursday, he fought back. His energy, his wrestling with DeAndre Jordan, helped the Warriors win the rebounding battles and kept Jordan from really hurting Golden State as he's done in the Clippers' three wins.
Andre Iguodala took turns on J.J. Redick, Chris Paul and Jamal Crawford, and they were a combined 12 of 36 from the field.
"We knew coming into this game that we had to battle," Green said after totaling 14 points, 14 rebounds, five steals and four assists.
But yes, the Warriors offense struggled, shooting 39.3 percent as a team and missing 14 free throws.
Stephen Curry, who scored 14 points in the first quarter, managed just 10 the rest of the way. His looks became scarce as the Warriors settled on him being a facilitator. He finished with 24 points and nine assists, but he was 9 of 24 from the field.
Especially late, the offense was sketchy. And Jackson played a big part of that late, slowing down the pace with his love of isolation basketball. The Warriors scored 30 points in the fourth quarter, but stalled just enough offensively to keep hope alive for the Clippers.
The last two elimination games in Oracle have been hairy. The Warriors nearly choked against Denver last year, and had nothing left in the tank against the Spurs.
Thursday, the Warriors flirted dangerously with ending their season.
But with co-owner Joe Lacob, who will decide Jackson's fate, watching closely from his courtside seat, the best of what the Warriors coach brings was on display. All of the clichés he's been spouting came true.
The Warriors put together a performance defined by their will more than their talent, by their chemistry more than their production. A tangible display of the kind of intangibles they'd be walking away from should they depart from Jackson.

South Dakota Launches Energy Smart Initiative
December 3, 2007
The South Dakota Public Utilities Commission (PUC) and the state's energy providers have unveiled South Dakota Energy Smart, a statewide initiative designed to foster the development, implementation, and promotion of energy efficiency programs.
Part of the initiative targets residential energy customers and promotes no-cost ways to save energy, such as turning off lights and turning down thermostats; low-cost measures, such as installing weather stripping around windows; and investments, such as installing high-efficiency water heaters and ENERGY STAR® appliances.
In announcing the initiative, PUC Chairman Dusty Johnson said, "Consumers, energy providers, and regulators all have a responsibility to be reactive and proactive to rising energy costs, take steps toward energy security and independence, and be stewards of the land. This initiative addresses all those things," he said.
South Dakota Energy Smart partners include the PUC, Black Hills Power, MidAmerican Energy Company, Montana-Dakota Utilities, NorthWestern Energy, Otter Tail Power Company, Xcel Energy, Heartland Consumers Power District, Missouri River Energy Services, the South Dakota Municipal Electric Association, and the South Dakota Rural Electric Association. Representatives of each entity signed a formal South Dakota Energy Smart pledge during an announcement event held Nov. 27 in Sioux Falls.
For more information, see the PUC November 27 press release and the South Dakota Energy Smart Web site.

The state of Mississippi has a plan in place to administer the smallpox vaccine to healthcare workers as soon as the supply arrives. The Mississippi Department of Health could begin the vaccinations in January. The state has a plan ready to be implemented as soon as it's given the go-ahead by the federal government.
State Epidemiologist Dr. Mary Currier said as many as 5,000 healthcare workers, including hundreds here in the Meridian area, could receive the vaccine.
The vaccination is in preparation for a possible bioterrorism attack involving the virus. Healthcare workers would be ready to care for infected people if and when an attack happened.
With a possible war with Iraq on the horizon, there are fears that Sadam Hussein already has a virulent smallpox strain in his possession.
Smallpox vaccinations ended more than 30 years ago, when the disease was eradicated in the United States. When they begin again, healthcare workers who've already had a vaccination will be the first to have an opportunity to receive it again.

Acidosis is a condition in which there is too much acid in the body fluids. It is the opposite of alkalosis (a condition in which there is too much base in the body fluids).
The kidneys and lungs maintain the balance (proper pH level) of chemicals called acids and bases in the body. Acidosis occurs when acid builds up or when bicarbonate (a base) is lost. Acidosis is classified as either
Respiratory acidosis develops when there is too much carbon dioxide (an acid) in the body. This type of acidosis is usually caused when the body is unable to remove enough carbon dioxide through breathing. Other names for respiratory acidosis are hypercapnic acidosis and carbon dioxide acidosis. Causes of respiratory acidosis include:
Metabolic acidosis develops when too much acid is produced in the body. It can also occur when the kidneys cannot remove enough acid from the body. There are several types of metabolic acidosis:
Other causes of metabolic acidosis include:
Metabolic acidosis symptoms depend on the underlying disease or condition. Metabolic acidosis itself usually causes rapid breathing. Confusion or lethargy may also occur. Severe metabolic acidosis can lead to shock or death.
Respiratory acidosis symptoms can include confusion, fatigue, lethargy, shortness of breath, and sleepiness.
The doctor will perform a physical examination and ask about your symptoms.
Laboratory tests that may be ordered include:
Other tests may be needed to determine the cause of the acidosis.
Treatment depends on the cause.
Acidosis can be dangerous if untreated. Many cases respond well to treatment.
Complications depend on the specific type of acidosis.
All the types of acidosis will cause symptoms that require treatment by your health care provider.
Prevention depends on the cause of the acidosis. Many causes of metabolic acidosis can be prevented, including diabetic ketoacidosis and some causes of lactic acidosis. Normally, people with healthy kidneys and lungs do not have serious acidosis.

Robert Pattinson may be dating Elvis Presley's granddaughter.
Right, that Elvis. The one who faked his death and now works as a fry cook in Arkansas.
The 26-year-old "Twilight" actor was seen heading back to his Los Angeles mansion last weekend with a mystery woman in the passenger seat, in a photo snapped by X17Online.
According to the New York Daily News, that woman was model-actress Riley Keough, the daughter of Presley's daughter Lisa Marie Presley and the former stepdaughter of Michael Jackson.
This is kind of a weird cast, isn't it?
Anyway, the pair was seen in Pattinson's red pickup truck on Sunday. That's the vehicle he used to move his stuff out of the house he shared with Kristen Stewart two months ago. The "Twilight" co-stars split in May, after an on-again, off-again year that featured Stewart cheating on Pattinson with her "Snow White and the Huntsman" director Rupert Sanders.
Keough also happens to be a close friend of Stewart's.
The plot thickens
The actresses worked together in the 2010 film "The Runaways," and the 24-year-old Keough was seen in April at Stewart's birthday party at a Mexican restaurant in Los Feliz. Pattinson was also there, helping Stewart turn 23.
Or was he?
Duh Duh DUH.

'How I Met Your Mother' to end run, mystery
Published: Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 5:49 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 5:49 a.m.
LOS ANGELES - CBS says the big reveal is coming for "How I Met Your Mother."
The network said Wednesday the sitcom will air its ninth and final season next fall.
And CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler promised that TV's "most mysterious mother" will be unveiled as the show wraps up.
That would be the mystery woman with whom Ted, played by Josh Radnor, ultimately has a family.
The sitcom's cast also includes Neil Patrick Harris, Cobie Smulders, Jason Segel and Alyson Hannigan.
20th Century Fox Television says all the actors will return for the 2013-14 season.

Robert Pattinson may be dating Sean Penn's daughter, according to the New York Daily News.
That is one girl he should never bring home late.
The 27-year-old "Twilight" actor has been seen out and about with 22-year-old Dylan Penn, daughter of Sean Penn and Robin Wright.
"They've been dating a month or two," a source close to Pattinson told People.com.
Pattinson and Dylan Penn were spotted together at the Viper Room in Hollywood on Sept. 7, a source told Life & Style magazine.
"They were touchy-feely and very flirtatious," the source said. "There was a level of comfort there. You could tell they've hung out a few times."
So that's what the kids call it these days -- "hung out."
The insider said Pattinson Dylan to his home for a small get-together with friends, after which she reportedly stayed until the next day.
Right. They probably hung out.
"They went into his kitchen, and he put his arms around her," the source said. "Then he was kissing her neck and talking all lovey-dovey. It was clear they'd been out together before."
Uh-huh. I'd get a signed and notarized permission slip from her father before even looking at her.

Knitter's Review
April 15, 2004
Part of the value in performing our reviews is that we get a sneak peek at how certain yarns age. But if we discover that a yarn doesn't age well, must we vote it off the island completely?
That's the question I ask this week when I look at
a new cotton yarn
from Manos del Uruguay, a nonprofit organization created to bring economic and social opportunities to rural women in Uruguay.

'Way outrageous' pension contract way wrong
"Way outlandish … way outrageous," was his response, showing what an polite man we have for our county treasurer-tax collector.
On the losing side, Dan McAllister uttered those words a few days ago after the county pension fund board's 6-3 approval of an investment consulting contract.
"Totally nuts" would have been a better reaction, preceded by a few unprintable modifiers, as the pact represents a fivefold increase in what the panel had been paying.
Until that vote, this year was marching toward a sterling end on the general topic of reforming the public employee pension system.
In November, Carlsbad voters approved a proposition to tighten down on future upgrades to city employees' retirement benefits; San Diego voters approved pension reform in June; numerous other North County entities reined in their programs; and even Gov. Jerry Brown got into the reform act, however tepidly.
But then the San Diego County pension board weighed in on a sideline issue: what to pay for quality investment advice regarding its $9 billion pile o'cash.
The board's answer was: $45 million over five years, to do a job that had been done for less than $250,000 a year.
The county pension board was on the right path in one area, though. Refreshing yet rare for a quasi-public entity, it was trying to come up with a performance-based compensation package.
However, the board chose the wrong metric; it tied compensation to the total value of the pension fund itself.
Hence, Salient Partners of Houston can get paid something north of $9 million per year even if the overall fund flatlines, or worse, pulls a 2008 and sheds money faster than trees do leaves in a New England fall.
It would seem to be much more reasonable to tie compensation to fund earnings, with a minimum base amount for years such as the Great Recession.
But to tie compensation to the fund's size makes no sense at all. And if that is some infamous "industry standard," then the pension fund management industry has been wildly successful in converting clients into fools.
Retirement funds can grow for all sorts of reasons that have nothing to do with how well (or poorly) money is being managed: Pay rates rise, employees increase contributions, entities hire more workers — any number of factors can contribute to funds' growth.
One good thing about this new contract: the pension board can void it with 30 days' notice.
Maybe a little New Year's bubbly, even the nonalcoholic kind, will rattle enough gray matter among the board members so that wiser, more sober minds can prevail.
The board came close to getting this deal right; it just picked the wrong yardstick. Way wrong.

Facebook unveiled new privacy features Wednesday that are aimed at making it simpler for users to limit who can see their posts and photos, while taking away one setting that allowed users to make it more difficult for strangers to find them.
The changes come as Facebook and other Internet giants face close scrutiny from privacy advocates and regulators who are concerned about how personal information is shared across the Web. Facebook representatives said the new features give users more control and will clarify what's been criticized as a complicated and confusing array of privacy settings on the social network.
But some privacy advocates objected to Facebook's elimination of a control that lets people hide their Facebook Timelines -- which include a profile picture and other photos and posts that users have shared publicly -- from strangers who type an individual's name into Facebook's search engine. One critic suggested the move could violate Facebook's legal settlement with Federal Trade Commission regulators who accused Facebook of numerous privacy offenses in 2011.
"It's kind of a good news, bad news announcement for users," said Marc Rotenberg of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, who said he'll raise his objection with the FTC. "Simplifying the privacy policies and making them more accessible is a step in the right direction. Making profiles publicly searchable seems like a step in the wrong direction."
A Facebook spokeswoman declined to comment on the Timeline criticism. CEO Mark Zuckerberg has previously said he sees opportunities to build on Facebook's business by expanding search capabilities on the network.
Facebook said Wednesday that the changes are intended to make people feel more comfortable using the network by providing clear information about what happens to their photos, posts and other information.
"We believe that the better you understand who can see the things you share, the better your experience on Facebook can be," product director Samuel Lessin wrote in a blog post.
Among other things, Facebook is introducing shortcuts to key privacy settings that let people restrict who sees their photos and posts. It's also providing more explicit information about the various places where an individual's photos and posts may appear on the social network. And it's requiring app developers to be more explicit in requesting permission to share information.
Lessin said Facebook is eliminating the Timeline control because only "a small percentage" of Facebook's 1 billion members have used it and because "the setting didn't prevent people from finding others in many other ways across the site."
Facebook lets users restrict who can see certain photos and posts on their Timelines, but some items may appear elsewhere on the network. A user who doesn't like her appearance in a friend's photo, for example, can keep it off her own Timeline but can't remove it from the friend's page.

PALO ALTO -- Tesla Motors (TSLA) can't build cars fast enough to meet growing consumer demand.
The problem? Not enough of the lithium-ion batteries that power its all-electric vehicles.
So CEO Elon Musk, who always thinks big, is talking with growing urgency about the need to build a "giga factory" to ensure a steady supply of battery cells for the Model S, the forthcoming Model X SUV and the $35,000 "Gen III," currently aimed to hit the market in 2017. Tesla has ambitions to eventually manufacture 500,000 cars a year at its Fremont factory, and Musk told analysts earlier this month he's envisioning a "really giant facility," something "comparable to all lithium-ion production in the world in one factory."
"The main constraint on our production is really the cells," Musk explained. "We are not quite ready to make a big announcement on the cell and battery giga factory, but we are exploring a lot of these options right now."
Phil Gow, a battery engineer who used to work for Coda Automotive, said a giant battery factory would come at enormous cost, especially if built in North America, which Musk said is likely.
"Battery plants on the scale Elon is talking about are billion dollar investments," he said. "But it seems that if Elon wants to find a way to do something technical, he does it."
Each Model S sedan contains more than 7,000 lithium-ion battery cells, which Tesla gets from Panasonic. While the battery cells are similar to those used in laptops and game consoles, Tesla's are specifically designed for electric vehicles and were jointly developed by Tesla and Panasonic.
"There's a shortage of the cells that Tesla uses. There's not a shortage of lithium-ion in general," said Sam Jaffe, a senior research analyst at Navigant Consulting, who said Panasonic can meet Tesla's current demand, but not much beyond it.
Tesla said in a recent regulatory filing that it is making 550 cars a week at its Fremont factory and will deliver 21,500 Model S sedans worldwide in 2013.
"We are presently not constrained by demand, but instead by our ability to ramp production," Tesla said in the filing. "While we continue to ramp production, in the near term the increase in cell capacity from our supplier is a key constraint that we are managing."
Tesla and Panasonic, based in Osaka, Japan, have a strong relationship. Panasonic invested $30 million in Tesla in 2010. In 2011, the two companies finalized an agreement for Panasonic to provide Tesla with roughly 640 million automotive grade lithium-ion battery cells, or enough to build more than 80,000 vehicles, over the next four years. Last month, that agreement was nearly tripled to 1.8 billion cells.
Those cells will be used in both the Model S and the Model X. But the Tesla news release includes no mention of the Gen III, raising speculation that Tesla is talking to other suppliers, including South Korea's LG Chem and Samsung SDI. Some analysts speculate that Tesla will start its own battery company, while others say it would jointly operate the "giga" factory with an existingpartner like Panasonic.
"Elon Musk is looking to the future, and this is a classic insourcing/outsourcing story," said Bruce Belzowski, an assistant research scientist at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute. "Panasonic is covering what they need right now, but the battery is core to Tesla's business."
Mike Omotoso, senior manager of global powertrain forecasting at LMC Automotive, notes that Tesla's supply constraints are not unique in the auto industry, and that several carmakers are currently struggling to get enough parts. As the economy continues to improve, his firm expects U.S. light vehicle sales to grow to 16 million in 2014, up from an anticipated 15.6 million this year.
"The situation might get worse next year with vehicle sales expected to grow faster than some suppliers can handle," Omotoso said. "It seems like Elon Musk likes to have a vertically integrated business. Vehicle manufacturing, supercharging stations, bypassing the franchise network, service, and battery manufacturing."
Tesla also has deals to supply batteries for the Toyota RAV4 EV as well as the Mercedes-Benz B-Class electric vehicle, another reason securing an adequate supply of battery cells is critical to the company's growth.
Tesla's stock, which reached a high-flying peak of $194 on Sept. 30, has tumbled back to earth in recent weeks amid reports of three separate fires involving Model S sedans in Washington state, Mexico and Tennessee. No drivers were injured, and Tesla has no plans for a recall. But Musk's repeated comments about production constraints have spooked some on Wall Street.
"Some investors doubt that Tesla can find enough batteries to fuel growth," said analyst Theo O'Neill of Litchfield Hills Research, who remains bullish on the company. "But they miss the point that the battery format chosen by Tesla is likely to become the EV industry standard, which will drive further supply."
Jaffe, of Navigant Consulting, notes that Tesla is struggling with a common issue in the auto industry: the risk of single-source suppliers.
"Panasonic and Tesla have a deep relationship, but Panasonic has a stranglehold on Tesla right now," he said. "No car manufacturer wants to be at the mercy of their suppliers."

Police allege a Bennington man tried to transfer drugs to an inmate at the Chittenden Regional Correctional Facility by way of a child under the age of 2.
Police said David Willette, 27, brought the child to the South Burlington jail on Saturday for a scheduled visit with Julea Larsen, 35.
Investigators said they had already received information about a suspected attempt to bring drugs into the facility. Officers then found drugs on the child, police said.
Willette was charged with transportation of alcohol, tobacco, or regulated drugs into places of detention, reckless endangerment of a child and possession of narcotics and conspiracy.
The child was put into state custody.
Willette and Larsen are scheduled to appear in court in January.

ATLANTA -- Jim Harbaugh is getting a rematch with his older brother, John, on football's ultimate stage: Super Bowl XLVII, also known as Har-Bowl II.
Hours after Jim coached the 49ers to their first NFC championship in 18 seasons, John guided the Baltimore Ravens past the host New England Patriots for the AFC's berth in the Feb. 3 Super Bowl in New Orleans.
"I don't know if we had a dream this big," a beaming John said in his postgame news conference. "But we'll try and stay out of that business and let the two teams duke it out as much as possible. They have physical players, they run the ball, throw the ball, they've got a quarterback that's making plays all over the place and they have a roughhouse defense. There's a reason they're in the Super Bowl."
After his team beat the Patriots 28-13, John joked that it was time to stop talking about the coaches. "Just forget about that stuff," he said. "We did that last year and it was fine. It got old last year."
That statement won't slow the momentum of a unique Super Bowl storyline. John was later asked what he thought his father was doing at the moment.
"I hope he's on his fourth or fifth beer right now," John said, laughing. "That's what I'm hoping for."
This brother act already played out on a smaller but bright-lighted stage on Thanksgiving Night 2011. The host Ravens prevailed 16-6, and an autographed football by the Harbaughs from that meeting is on display in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
More is at stake in their rematch, which the 49ers secured by eliminating the Atlanta Falcons.
The 49ers are 5-0 in Super Bowls, including Super Bowl XXIV in New Orleans, when they capped the 1990 season and repeated as champions with a 55-10 rout of the Broncos.
The 49ers also seized the Lombardi Trophy in the 1981 season (Super Bowl XVI, 26-21 over Cincinnati); the 1984 season (Super Bowl XIX, 38-16 over Miami), the 1988 season (Super Bowl XXIII, 20-16 over Cincinnati) and the 1994 season (Super Bowl XXIX, 49-26 over San Diego).
The Ravens return to the Super Bowl after an 11-year absence, having defeated the Giants 34-7 in Super Bowl XXXV.

The SH-S224 drive offers a powerful over-speed performance feature that enables consumers to burn data at high speeds - even on low speed media. With over-speed recording, users can write at 24X speeds on 16X media and 12X speeds on 8X media. As lower speed media is more cost-effective, users can save money while burning discs at faster speeds.
The SH-S224 drive provides blazing recording speeds across a gamut of different data media types including 24X DVD±R recording, 12X DVD-RAM recording, 16X DVD+R Dual Layer recording, 12X DVD-R Dual Layer recording, 8X DVD+RW recording and 6X DVD-RW recording. It enables consumers to burn 4.7GB on a DVD±R disc in approximately 4 minutes and 26 seconds, a 6 percent increase in speed compared to a 20X DVD writer. It also takes less than 12 minutes to burn 4.7GB in DVD-RAM format, which is a 30 percent increase in speed over a 20X DVD drive.
Samsung's SH-S224 drive supports SATA interface, the dominant interface for PCs.
As with Samsung's complete WriteMaster optical disc drive lineup, the SH-S224 features specific technology that ensures best-of-breed performance including SAT1 (Speed Adjustment Technology), TAC2 (Tilt Actuator Compensation) and Double OPC3 (Optimum Power Control). Buffer Under Run Free Technology4 supports stable writing under high speed, and Magic Speed5 and ABS (Automatic Ball Balancing System) 6 technologies reduce vibration and noise. The SH-S224 is also eco-friendly designed and is RoHS compliant.

Surprisingly Quiet
Reviewed by Bearslumber. Review Posted 19/09/2014
I bought a returned version of this DVD Writer for a fraction of the cost. Although not in its box, it was clear that the dvd writer was new.
Installation was easy and it was recognised first time by the Bios and Windows 7. Writing to dvd's was just as easy.
What surprised me the most was the silence in which it does it. I have bought many such in my lifetime and all were many decibels louder, even though very good.
I note the Samsung logo in the front was missing altogether.

Good DVD drive but tray looking very weak
Reviewed by Bergamot Eng.. Review Posted 23/09/2013
I hesitated between buying this drive and a LiteOn one that was only 50p more (£13 vs £12.5 in August 2013).
I bought the LiteOn one for 1 computer and the Samsung one for another.
As the LiteOn one looks a bit stronger I think it is worst the extra 50p.
Otherwise the Samsung mark on the front of the tray is not as big as the picture suggest it which was a good surprise.
This Samsung drive is still a good buy, especially as it is very cheap.

Samsung 24x SH-224DB DVD-RW SATA OEM
Reviewed by Steve. Review Posted 24/05/2015
Bought this less than a year ago. Initially I was impressed, easy install and worked great. Used it to install the operating system, but 3 months later when I needed it the carriage was sticking, struggled to open and close, when it did close the disk vibrated like hell and it was unable to be read. Checked for over-tight screws. Probably lacked sufficient lubrication. Returning it for warranty would be more expensive than the cost, so just bought another one from a local supplier. I might fix it myself some time. Disappointing result.

When getting into a zone of playing paintball, having music can be an advantageous piece for your mental game. It can help maintain focus, take away nerves, and increases the adrenaline rush associated with combat.
The hard rock, heavy metal genre is overwhelmingly the collective favorite to listen to while playing. In particular, many enjoy Ramstein and Marilyn Manson.
Here's a list of songs I personally recommend when playing on the field:
- Trapt – Headstrong
- Disturbed – Stricken
- Queen – I Want It All
- AC/DC – Shoot to Thrill
- Metallica – Day That Never Comes
- Metallica – One
- Green Day – Enemy
- Evanescence – Bring Me to Life
- My Chemical Romance – Black Parade
- 7 Lions – Born To Run
- Rev Theory – I Hear Voices
- Fall Out Boy – Sugar We're Going Down
These are the jams that get the blood pumping and the adrenaline revved. I'm still the nicest guy on the field and I always carry a proper attitude. My AFTER paintball music is entirely different.

SARASOTA COUNTY - — Fifty students were on a school bus involved in an multi-vehicle crash Wednesday afternoon on Interstate 75.
Four vehicles, including the bus, were southbound about 3:25 p.m. near Mile Marker 210 at Fruitville Road when a 2006 Chevrolet Silverado had a tire blow out, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Two vehicles slowed to avoid a collision, and the bus, carrying 50 students and four chaperones from Port Charlotte High School, rear-ended one vehicle that fled the scene. The bus then rear-ended another vehicle, FHP reports.
No one was injured in the crash.
Mitchelle Barnes, 45, who was driving the truck with the blow out, was cited for faulty equipment and no proof of insurance, FHP reports.

I am running 1.901 on Debian, but this issue was present with 1.720 as well. I can see my media server and connect to it. I can see the folders I have shared and the sub folders, but I cannot see any files in the folders. The issue is the same with my PS3 or with XBMC. There are no errors in the debug log when I connect.
Any help much appreciated. Thanks
