Steven Wilson

The Palladium – Worcester, MA
Reviewed by: B. Cross
Steven Wilson's name has been legend among progressive rock aficionados for many years now, and his current tour in support of his latest concept work Hand. Cannot. Erase. drew quite a diverse crowd to the Palladium. Old-school proggers in Rush shirts stood side-by-side with longhairs sporting Emperor patch-laden battle vests. That's how much Wilson's music means to people, and when you hear it, you'll understand. (I should also note that for once, I wasn't the oldest guy in attendance. That's always a nice change of pace.)
Wilson's set was comprised of nearly all of Hand. Cannot. Erase., kicking off with an extended intro into "First Regret," moving down the line in proper order. Highlights included the title track and "Perfect Life," not to mention the powerful "Routine." Of course, the show wasn't just Hand. Cannot. Erase.; the performance was interspersed with a few older tracks from Wilson's solo career as well as his lauded Porcupine Tree compositions. From eloquent soundscapes to hard-hitting riffs with enough crunch to rattle the floorboards, Wilson and his immensely talented backing band shone a new light on earlier works like "Harmony Korine" alongside new material such as "Ancestral." The set list was so well crafted that even the older songs felt like they belonged with the new pieces, forging one melodic whole that was far more than the sum of its parts. Read more

I knew Nightwish was a big draw, but I'd never seen a show as packed as this one. When we arrived, we were greeted with the longest waiting line I'd ever seen. It snaked around the entire block, then back into the parking lot, where it curled around itself again. I spent most of the time wondering just how in the seven hells everyone was going to fit inside the venue, let alone how long it would take to reach the door. Much to my surprise, we only waited in line for less than an hour. Kudos to the Palladium staff for getting everyone into the building quickly and safely. Read more

The "Communion of Sirens" tour – a double bill featuring two of Sweden's greatest heavy metal exports – makes for some strange bedfellows. Their country of origin aside, Opeth and In Flames couldn't be more different; the former plays progressive metal, the latter a blend of alternative and metalcore. But both share some death metal roots, and they also are known for having a single record that heralded a notable shift in their sound. With In Flames, it was 2001's Reroute to Remain that morphed their sound from melodic death metal into metalcore, while Opeth's Heritage in 2011 brought their 1970s progressive rock influence completely to the forefront, ditching the death growls in the process. Both bands have recorded further material since then, expanding their catalog and musical horizons without ignoring their previous work. Sure, some "true" fans may have written them off, but that's their loss, if the densely crowded venue was any indication. Thus, the two Swedish heavyweights were a surprisingly natural fit to tour together, and they descended upon the Palladium in Worcester for their last US show before heading north. Read more

Thunderous heavy metal reigns supreme when Amon Amarth comes calling. Despite the unseasonably warm and humid weather, there was a massive turnout when the venerated band and friends hit the Webster Theater in Hartford, CT.
Wasting no time, openers Skeletonwitch unleashed the serpents with a multi-pronged extreme metal blend. With crowdpleasers like "Beyond the Permafrost" and "Stand, Fight, and Die" taking their place alongside newer material like "Burned from Bone," the intensity didn't let up for a second. Dual guitar assaults backed by a pummeling bassline and tight drum work, not to mention Chance Garnette's high-energy vocals, set the tone for the entire evening. Read more

Volbeat played the Casino Ballroom last week and I was there to photograph the show. The first time I met these guys was at Rocklahoma 2012 and they seemed to be great guys. I remember ex-guitarist Hank Shermann geeking out over my brand new shiny Canon 5D3 camera as I was setting up for the video and thinking: "wow, a major rock star can be a camera nerd just like me."
Hank is no longer with the band, replaced by ex-Anthrax guitarist Rob Caggiano simultaneously with the new album Outlaw Gentlemen and Shady Ladies. Caggiano can definitely pull off some awesome guitar, and is a great showman on stage. While in the photo pit, I noticed a kid about 10 or 11 standing in the front row against the rail. Caggiano came over and riffed to the kid, probably giving him the thrill of his life. Of course, I planted myself nearby so I could catch the action also. Make sure you check out the photo gallery below.
Although Volbeat is a Danish band, they come across as hard rock with a southern, rockabilly influence. They highlighted a bit of this influence during the show with a rendition of Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire, and of course, in the new album with its western themes. If you haven't heard Volbeat before and would like to give them a try, two of my favorite tracks off of Outlaw are Dead but Rising and The Hangman's Body Count.
This is the second time I've photographed these guys in as many weeks, making the trip to Rockville at the end of April and getting a chance to see them there also. I suspect I'm a little obsessed. My family may be getting sick of me listening to them in the car. My wife definitely gives me a dirty look every time the "counting all the assholes in the room" lyric comes around. Ah well, worth it.

The only reason there's peace in Ireland is because we're all over here!" – Dave King at the House of Blues, Boston
Flogging Molly played the House of Blues Boston last Wednesday to a packed house. Boston is a very Irish town and provided a lively audience for the Celtic punk band. For those of you unfamiliar with Flogging Molly: when I say Celtic punk, I don't mean they are a punk band that simply started in Ireland. They are just as much Irish folk as anything else. To give you an idea of the atmosphere: picture a night at the Black Rose with an incredibly good and hard rocking band. Now, pack in 2400 people and add a mosh pit.
This is the 10th year of Flogging Molly's Green 17 Tour. Each year, they take to the road around St. Patrick's Day to support Boston's hardest drinking holiday (no, New Year's Eve isn't close). Other bands do well to throw picks and drumsticks to the crowd. These guys throw cans of Guinness (really). No contest what I'd rather be catching.
I myself have had plenty of great St. Patrick's days in Boston. After graduation, I moved in to a house in Southie (Boston's Irish district) with 4 of my college buddies1 and one dog. When I say it was a dog, I'm being charitable. I doubt that Dreyfus had two brain cells to rub together. Incredibly stupid, and on top of that, my housemate Russ actively trained him to hump people's legs. The house was right on the parade route, so we always had a huge St Patrick's Day party. During these parties, we used food coloring to dye the dog green. With all the attention people lavished on Dreyfus, he had to be the happiest green dog in the world. No one even complained very much about the leg humping.2
Covering Irish bands like Flogging Molly brings me back to these wild parties. In addition to the standard rock instruments, this largish 7 piece band has people manning the accordion, flute, violin, mandolin, and banjo. These instruments help give the band their folk sound. For example, listen to Drunken Lullabies for great banjo and violin, and Devil's Dance Floor features a flute and accordion riffing off of each other.
The band played "Rise Up" as a tribute to folk singer / activist Pete Seegar who passed away this January. Seegar, always one to stand up for what he thought was right, was blacklisted and indicted for contempt of Congress during the McCarthy era. Check out his Wikipedia entry, it is an interesting read. Also credited with popularizing the banjo as an American folk instrument, Seeger got a dedication stenciled on the band's banjo.
Bridget Regan the band's flautist and violinist is not only an incredible musician, but also married the front man Dave King. I guess the family that tours together stays together. However, while combing through the night's photos, I came across this spousal moment. Hilarious. Her face is just shouting, "Back off honey, I'm busy."
Flogging Molly puts on a great show. For the last decade, they've been getting people in the St. Patrick's Day spirit with the Green 17 Tour. So go see them and have a happy St. Patty's day. Just keep a wary eye on the green dog.
1 Five if you count Eugene, who crashed for a while for free on the back screened in porch in a kind of semi-homeless state.
2 After we moved out of the house, we saddled Eugene and Ed's parents with Dreyfus. I'd just like to apologize to Mrs. Sweeney for any "training" issues they may have had, and would like to point out that it was all Russ' fault.
Set list:
- Wailing Wall
- Paddy's Lament

- Revolution

by Dante Alighieri
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Canto.Line). We used Allen Mandelbaum's translation.
Quote #1
[Virgil quoting Beatrice]: "'O spirit of the courteous Mantuan,
whose fame is still a presence in the world
and shall endure as long as the world lasts,
my friend who has not been the friend of fortune,
is hindered in his path along that lonely
hillside; he has been turned aside by terror.
From all that I have heard of him in Heaven,
he is, I fear, already so astray
that I have come to help him much too late.
Go now; with your persuasive word, with all
that is required to see that he escapes,
bring help to him, that I may be consoled.'" (Inf. II, 58-69)
Virgil's renown as the consummate poet gifted with the "persuasive word" makes him the prime candidate to appeal to for Dante's sake. It is to Virgil's "courteous spirit," which has endured countless ages with an unblemished name, that Beatrice entrusts her beloved Dante, not to any real knowledge or experience with the poet.
Quote #2
[Virgil]: "Those who are here can place no hope in death,
and their blind life is so abject that they
are envious of every other fate.
The world will let no fame of theirs endure;
both justice and compassion must disdain them;
let us not talk of them, but look and pass." (Inf. III, 46-51)
Because cowardice has kept the neutrals from making any indelible mark on the world, they have no claim to fame. Thus, "the world will let no fame of theirs endure," and even Virgil has no patience to spend time identifying any of these sinners. They simply have no reputation to speak of.
Quote #3
[Ciacco]: "But when you have returned to the sweet world,
I pray, recall me to men's memory:
I say no more to you, answer no more." (Inf. VI, 88-90)
Ciacco is the first of many sinners who crave fame and a good name in the world above. Relegated to an existence which can hardly be called a life (suffering eternally in Hell), the only life these sinners can pretend to have is in men's memory. Should they be forgotten, they would truly die, having been lost in body, soul, and memory to the living. Since these sinners have lost everything in their damnation, their only chance at being remembered in any good light is in the mortal world, where the living have no knowledge of Hell's inhabitants.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- This was Senate President M. Teresa Paiva Weed's response last week to rumors that she is on the verge of leaving her State House perch for the court bench: "Absolutely untrue."
One rumor had her resigning soon so that she would be eligible -- under Rhode Island's revolving-door law -- for Governor Chafee to appoint her to a judgeship a year from now. Another version of the rumor had her eyeing a magistrate's post and a not-yet-open seat on the Supreme Court.
WPRO Radio talk-show host John DePetro took the hallway chatter to a new level with this posting on Tuesday on his webpage:
"Exclusive: Weed gonna leave. Sources: Paiva Weed makes deal with Chafee to become judge ... Sources tell John DePetro that 'miss Newport' wants to jump out now so she can 'get on the bench' while Governor Gump is still in power."
Paiva Weed's response: "Obviously, it is not good for me or my leadership team to have these kinds of rumors out there. I don't know where they originated, but there is absolutely no truth in them."
"I am planning on staying through the session and running for reelection," and then seeking another term as Senate president in January 2015, she said.
Asked if there was any intrigue of which she was aware that might explain the rumors, she quoted her second in command, Senate Majority Leader Dominick Ruggerio: " 'The only working mill in Rhode Island is the rumor mill.'
"And that is the only thing to which I can attribute the recent rumors. We are a very solid team."
But just to set the record straight, Sen. Dawson Hodgson, R-North Kingstown, tweeted this response to Paiva Weed's comments to Political Scene: "Kenyon's Grist Mill surviving RI Biz climate since 1696."

Registration for Birthright Israel Excel opens today and runs through February 10, 2013. This special program, which operates separately from the 10-day trips offered by Birthright Israel, brings selected college students of business, finance, and economics, to Israel for a summer internship with a leading Israeli firm.
"These are people who are going to be make something of themselves somewhere, and we want to channel them to become the ones who'll grow up to be the philanthropists of the future, those who'll be taking responsibility for the issue of Jewish identity and the relationship with Israel," says program Director Vered Fishbein.
Fellows are assigned mentors in Israel and will meet with leading decision-makers such as Bank of Israel Gov. Stanley Fischer and Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz. Additionally, each participant is assigned an Israeli peer, a fellow student who helps them navigate the Israeli social scene and participates in various seminars throughout the 10-week program.
After the fellowship in Israel, the Birthright Israel Excel Fellows
enter the post-fellowship stage of the program in the United States,

Spacey, Shields, Bernal Star in Old Vic 24 Hour Plays June 19
Spacey, the artistic director of the Old Vic, will host the event while Joseph Fiennes, Michael Sheen, Nick Moran, James Nesbitt, Victoria Hamilton, Miriam Margolyes, Juliet Stevenson, Jemma Redgrave, Dominic West, Carke Peters, Kwame Kwei-Armah, Rufus Sewell, Greg Wise, Roy Williams, Rebecca Lenkiewicz and David Grindley are also lined up.
"The annual event turns all the conventional rules for putting together a production on their head. A group of celebrated theatre professionals will join together to write, rehearse and perform six short plays within a 24-hour period. The intense creativity, it is hoped, will produce special pieces of drama. Whether it does or not, the performances will be followed by another mainstay of the creative process, an after-show party at the theatre," states a press release.
In the past three years since the event's inception, Jim Broadbent, Brian Cox, Emilia Fox, Sophie Okonedo and Rosamund Pike have taken part in the frenzied evening of theatre.
Spacey is currently starring as CK Dexter Haven in the Old Vic production of Philip Barry's The Philadelphia Story. He will take a temporary leave of absence from the show beginning on June 20th to shoot Superman Returns, in which he plays Lex Luthor. Spacey is a theatre veteran who was nominated as Best Actor in a Play for his performance in the 1999 revival of O'Neill's Iceman Cometh; he won Best Featured Actor in a Play for 1991's Lost in Yonkers. Other Broadway credits include Long Day's Journey Into Night, the original production of Hurlyburly (in which he was a replacement) and Ghosts. He is a two-time Academy Award winner for 1995's The Usual Suspects and 1999's American Beauty.
Shields, who got her start in modelling and film, has been a Broadway presence in recent years--getting her feet wet as Rizzo in Grease, as Sally in Cabaret, and as Donna Murphy's successor in Wonderful Town, for which she received glowing reviews. On April 26th, the statuesque Shields opened as Roxie Hart in the West End production of Chicago. On film, she has appeared in Pretty Baby, Blue Lagoon and The Bachelor, as well as having starred on the TV series "Suddenly Susan" for several years.
Bernal is the Latin heartthrob and acclaimed actor who shot to fame in the 2001 film Y Tu Mama Tambien. Since then, he has appeared in The Crime of Padre Amaro, The Motorcycle Diaries (as young Che Guevara) and Almodovar's Bad Education, among others. He is currently starring in a production of Garcia Lorca's tragedy Blood Wedding at the Almeida Theatre.
Tickets for the performance range from £50 to £500 for the VIP package. Call (0)20 7620 0558, or visit www.oldvic.com/24hour/gala for more information.

When you say "Statistics show 33% +/- 1 is not assigned to any

Or were you trying to reach-out and touch those IPs?
WRT the former, some IP allocations could I suppose be old enough to
"pre-date" by-country allocation.
WRT the latter, I suspect a distinction needs to be made between
"allocated" and "in active use" or "is reachable/is reachable by
FWIW I know there are significant chunks of the 15. and 16. address
space which are not reachable from the broad Internet. I could easily
see that being the case for other chunks of the space.

Thai Prawn and Chicken Coconut Curry broth
A broth that offers the simplicity of a soup but is a meal in itself.
Spicy, creamy and full of Thai flavours, its a healthy pick me up that wakens up the tastebuds.
I adore Thai food, it always smells and tastes so fresh and clean, and with the addition of Coconut milk or cream it can offer a smooth richness.
Serves 2
2 small chicken breasts (sliced thinly)
10 king prawns (raw)
2 eggs
200g egg noodles (plus 50g)
1 cup of chopped broccoli
1/2 cup chopped cabbage
1/2 small onion/shallot (sliced)
1 small green chilli
2 spring onions (sliced diagonally)
1 can coconut milk
1 cup chicken stock
3 tbsp red curry paste (see my recipe here)
1 tbsp fish sauce
2 lime wedges
2 tbsp peanuts
Place eggs in boiling water and cook for approx 7 minutes. Set aside.
Add 1 tbsp oil to a pot over a medium-high heat and add onions and chillies. Fry for 2 minutes then add the curry paste. Fry for a further 1 minute then add the chicken.
Coat chicken in paste and fry until sealed.
Add the stock, coconut milk, fish sauce and the veg and lower heat to a medium.
Simmer for about 15 minutes until the veggies have cooked but still retain a bite. Add the prawns and simmer until pink and cooked through.
Deep fry the 50g of extra noodle for 30 seconds, drain and season. Top the broth with the peanuts, lime wedge and the noodle and halved egg served on the side.

BoneYard to open next week in Uptown
MICHAEL RIETMULDER | Updated 2/26/2014
The Crave owners are bringing Southern fare, beer and bourbon to Uptown.
Crave owners Keyvan and Kam Talebi
Kaskaid Hospitality, the parent company of the Crave restaurants, Union and others has pegged an opening date for its new Uptown venture. After a run of soft openings and a private event next Thursday, the Southern-focused BoneYard Kitchen & Bar officially fires up its fryers on March 7 in the former Old Chicago space on Hennepin Avenue.
At a glance, the dinner menu – with Confederate state favorites including fried chicken, crab hush puppies and shrimp and grits – seems to pass the Paula Dean test (minus the racism, thank you). Drinks wise, the Cravers' new concept emphasizes beer and bourbon, a noble formula that helped make Butcher & the Boar a hit two miles up the road.
It sounds like fans of the OC's old patio need not worry. The patio area's been expanded and converted into a three-season space with retractable walls and awnings (we know how those Kaskaid guys love retractability).
BoneYard's hours:
Monday-Wednesday 11 a.m. to midnight
Thursday-Friday 11 a.m. to 2 a.m.
Saturday 9 a.m. to 2 a.m.
Sunday 9 a.m. to midnight

A new storm may be coming but I'm so thrilled today that the storm of the election season has passed. I got 2 wonderful late night happy calls from my first time voter twins with tales from the college campuses and the excitement of the moment when the election was called for The President. I so enjoyed hearing the joy and the expectant optimism in both their voices. What an amazing and proud mama feeling.
(flag pic taken fm my local polling place)
Now I feel energized and ready to move forward to finish up the current book I'm working on (book 2 in my Creative Hearts series). Let's hope I keep the power through this next storm. But no real worries because either way I'm pushing #Forward no matter what.
All the best,

Head of Military Commissions Quits
As the Bush administration gears up for another try at prosecuting suspected terrorists at Guantanamo Bay, it'll have to proceed without the retired Army major general who's run the effort since 2004.
John Altenburg said that when he accepted the job as appointing authority for the military commissions, he expected Guantanamo trials to start in short orderand that he'd be back at his job at the Washington law and lobbying firm Greenberg Traurig by mid-2005. Instead, the military commissions collapsed under a concerted assault by military and civilian defense attorneys, who eventually won a landmark Supreme Court decision in June declaring the entire project unlawful.
I'm disappointed that we couldn't do more when I was there, but that's the way the system works, Altenburg said. As appointing authority, he was in charge of the commission organization, resolving administrative and legal questions posed by the prosecution, defense and panel members below him.
The Supreme Court scored the president for acting without congressional approval. So the administration got legislation through Congress in October to allow a modified form of the commissions to proceed, providing defendants a few more rights than the president initially intended. Altenburg said he agreed to stay on the job until a draft manual implementing the new Military Commissions Act was done.
He said the draft went to higher ups at the Pentagon and Justice Department on Oct. 27, and he submitted his resignation immediately afterwards. His last day was Nov. 10. No one has been selected to fill the slot, and it could remain vacant until the likely new defense secretary, Robert Gates, takes office.
Defense attorneys claim that the new system is still too flawed to pass constitutional musterand military attorneys, known as judge advocates general, are complaining again that they've been left out of a rulemaking process controlled by political appointees lacking their experience with the military justice system.
We have not had any involvement in the manual, which is disappointing, said Air Force Col. Moe Davis, the chief Guantanamo prosecutor, and neither, he believes, has the defense side. If the NFL was going to rewrite the rules of football, you'd think they'd ask the players for input.
Col. Davis said he's teeing up charges against 20 Guantanamo prisoners–the 10 defendants charged under the old system, and 10 additional ones, although none is among the 14 high-value prisoners recently transferred to Cuba from secret CIA prisons. If all goes according to plan this time, he said trials could start early next year.
A Pentagon spokeswoman did not have an immediate comment. Jess Bravin

One way to get involved at Or Hadash is to join a havurah.
Havurah (plural: havurot) is the Hebrew word for "fellowship." Membership in a havurah allows members to experience Jewish community on a more intimate scale within the larger Or Hadash community. In a small, self-directed group, many aspects of Jewish life, including study, worship, celebration of holidays, and social action can be enjoyed. A havurah is a mini-community that provides a rich Jewish experience in a more intimate social setting. For information on each group, click on the group to email its coordinator.
Havurot at Or Hadash include:
- Family-Oriented Havurah
- Adult Study Havurah
- Interfaith Families Havurah
- Single-Parent Havurah
- Parent Havurah (without kids)
- Empty Nesters (Fifty Plus)
- Book Club Havurah
- Families with Teens
- Cooking Havurah
- Sports Havurah
Empty Nesters (Fifty Plus)
The Empty Nesters Chavurah is a 50+ age group of congregants who come together to socialize about once a month. We have pot luck and game nights at members homes and also do dinners out and occasional outings, such as the Jewish-American History Museum. This is a great way to meet and get to know other congregants in an easy, casual atmosphere. New members are always welcome - please contact Susan and Stu Rosenthal.
Book Club Havurah
The Or Hadash Book Club is a lively group of people interested in reading and discussing books of Jewish interest. Our readings are selected by group vote and have included fiction, historical novels, short stories, stories of life in Israel and many other subjects. We meet about five to six times a year on Monday nights at Or Hadash. Book titles and discussion dates are posted in Hakesher. New members are always welcome - please contact Susan and Stu Rosenthal.
For more general information, contact firstname.lastname@example.com
PS - don't see something you like? have any idea for a new havurah? take action and make it happen and start your own Havurah!

Or, more likely, they hate us because stuff like this happens:
About midnight, 11 people, including three women; four children whose ages ranged from 6 to 9; and four men were executed inside the home of a village elder.
"They entered the room where the women and children were sleeping and they were all shot in the head," [Fazal Mohammad Esaqzai, the deputy chief of the provincial council] said, adding that he was doubtful of the U.S. account suggesting the killings were the work of a lone gunman. "They were all shot in the head."
After roughly an hour, residents in a nearby village heard gunshots, and they later discovered the corpses of five men inside two nearby houses, Esaqzai said.
Details about the attack are still coming out (though the US insists the massacre was done by just one US soldier). But for the moment, I can't forget about the lengths to which the government went to bury this report showing how much animosity there is now between US forces and those we're supposed to be working with and protecting.
Update: Here's the very different story offered by a family member of those who were killed:
Haji Samad said 11 of his relatives were killed in one house, including his children. Pictures showed blood-splattered walls where the children were killed.
"They (Americans) poured chemicals over their dead bodies and burned them," a weeping Samad told Reuters at the scene.
"I saw that all 11 of my relatives were killed, including my children and grandchildren," said Samad, who had left the home a day earlier.
Neighbors said they awoke to crackling gunfire from American soldiers, whom they described as laughing and drunk.
"They were all drunk and shooting all over the place," said neighbor Agha Lala, who visited one of the homes where the incident took place. "Their bodies were riddled with bullets."
Update: Meanwhile, in polling done yesterday, before this killing, ABC found 60% of Americans say the Afghan War has not been worth fighting. While I'm not surprised by those numbers, I do wonder whether people have totally dissociated the war from 9/11?
The soldier "wandered." What a nice and purposeless elision, NYT.
Details about the attack are still coming out (though the US insists the massacre was done by just one US soldier)
It has the whiff of the Pat Tillman report
@spanishinquisition: Right. I half wonder whether there was a drunken, group massacre, followed by one guy going out on his own trying to clean it up.
Is the lone rogue gunman still the story from the US? Doesn't seem to make sense, but I suppose is technically physically possible.
No words. Makes me sick.
Get the f out of Afghanistan.
Disassociate the Afghan war from 9/11? I hope so. No Afghans were part of the 9/11 attacks. The attacks were mostly planned in Germany. The training mostly took place in Florida. The hijackers were Saudis and Egyptians. And the Taliban in Afghanistan offered repeatedly to turn OBL over if the US would just show them some actual proof (which popular myth based on truly terrible news reports notwithstanding is still essentially non-extant) that OBL was involved in the 9/11 attacks. (The US of course refused.)
The Afghan was was not worth fighting. It's the "good war" that wasn't good.
I do wonder whether people have totally dissociated the war from 9/11?
Yes. It's now just another purposeless war, to most people. I think people are more likely to associate Iraq with 9/11, even though that's a lie.
@P J Evans: I am sure most people have. I bet most would have thought we'd GTFO once Bin Laden was killed or captured.
@Roman Berry: No evidence of bin-Laden/al-Qaida involvement in 9-11? Seriously? For one thing, say what you will about al-Qaida, one thing they have always been is pretty honest about what they have done and whether their people are alive or dead etc.
@bmaz: That's not what he said. He said there were no Afghans involved in 9/11.
That's true. The mostly-Saudi operatives who committed the attack were trained there, but no Afghans were part of the attack. Not even in the planning.
@emptywheel: That is the first part of what was said, the second was:
And the Taliban in Afghanistan offered repeatedly to turn OBL over if the US would just show them some actual proof (which popular myth based on truly terrible news reports notwithstanding is still essentially non-extant) that OBL was involved in the 9/11 attacks.
I read that to stand for the proposition that evidence OBL was involved in the attacks is non-existent. If I misinterpreted, I apologize.
"…After the alleged shooting spree, it's believed the soldier returned to the base on his own, and calmly turned himself in. He remains in NATO custody. It's unclear whether the soldier knew the victims or whether the alleged attack was spontaneous and unprovoked. It's also unknown whether he had any accomplices.
The soldier's name has not been released, but a U.S. official told ABC News he is a staff sergeant who is married with two children, and served three tours in Iraq. This was his first tour in Afghanistan, where he has been since early December, the official said…"
Update: During ABC News this evening, they also mentioned that the alleged US soldier was 38 years old. Clearly not merely a youth who lacked some level of maturity.
How is it that a lone US soldier could leave a tightly guarded US base in the middle of a particularly dangerous corner of Afghanistan at 3:00 AM in the morning without somebody stopping him and asking where the fook he thought he was going by himself?
This ain't like you go off base to hang out at the local bars. There are no fookin' bars! This is Afghanistan! This is a fookin' war zone!
What were the base guards thinking?
@MadDog: Yeah, dunno, good question. You know, if the victims were all grouped together in a couple of discreet locations and sleeping, I guess it is possible for a well trained soldier with modern weaponry to kill 16 all by himself. But, as you say, I cannot imagine soldiers leave base by themselves, and the logistics would sure make you think more than one perpetrator. Who knows?
– mass killings
– urinating on dead bodies
– killing for pleasure over time
– burning korans
– torturing prisoners
– killing civilians in road-checks
tells me one thing for dead certain:
our american military in afghanistan (and iraq) has shown itself to be an extraordinarily poorly disciplined military force.
which needs must reflect the quality of officer leadership from the generals right on down to the lieutenants.
@bmaz: To expand my thoughts here, various news reports describe this as FOB (Forward Operating Base) Camp Belambay mostly staffed with Green Berets engaged in village stability operations in the midst of a heavy Taliban part of Kandahar.
Let's be clear what that means. This FOB is likely so heavily secured with barbed wire, mines on the perimeter, and automatic weapons emplacements that no one can approach or get inside the "wire" without getting blown away.
The same is true for someone trying to exit the FOB. It is not as if somebody can head out of the FOB for a stroll at 3 AM without having to go through a multi-layered control point.
Even if, as some news reports indicate that the FOB perimeter guards were Afghan, that still doesn't explain how this US soldier could get through a multi-layered control point with an automatic rifle at 3 AM in the morning for a stroll through enemy territory without questions being asked or alarms being raised.
I can't even imagine how the US soldier wasn't stopped immediately before leaving the FOB.
I guess time will tell, but right now it surely beggars the imagination.
during the vietnam war, the american military learned the value and necessity of lying to the american people. they also learned they were not as competent as they needed be at this lying.
from the 1980's on, the military has increased its facility at lying in all ways it is possible to lie to a citizenry,
including such sophisticated stunts as insisting on reporters being embedded with military units and sending retired generals to talk up the military's viewpoint on television news and opinion shows.
what really happened? who knows?
whatever actually happened, would you trust the current military leadership to tell the truth?
i wouldn't.
At least Lindsey Graham isn't throwing a hissy fit /s:
"…Appearing on ABC's "This Week," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said it was unfortunate that "these things happen in war…"
…Graham said he is not worried that the war in Afghanistan is becoming unsustainable.
"You just have to push through these things," Graham said, adding that the surge of forces into Afghanistan under Obama has put "the Taliban on the defensive."
"My recommendation to the public is, listen to General (John) Allen, who comes back in two weeks. . . We can win this thing. We can get it right. I will support the president when he does the right thing," Graham said…"
(My Bold)
I'm just gobsmacked.
They think Americans have been sufficiently dumbed-down in the past generation to buy the old standby – the lone gunman a la Oswald, Ray, Sihan, Chapman, etc. Nothing to see here, folks.
USA military unveils non-lethal heat ray weapon
To be used in mob dispersal, checkpoint security, perimeter security, area denial, infrastructure protection, the USA military envisions a wide array of uses.
let me be very clear here – if this is used against the American Public / People / Citizenry for any reason whatsover by usa government / usa military / usa paramilitary / usa contracted mercenary force, the user(s) should be immediately arrested and executed as Treasonous War Criminals.
if i have to fight this ever increasingly Evil fascist usa government and its corporate fascist minions and the 1% singlehandedly then i will gladly do so.
i am so gd sick and tired of the constant state of War and Threats and War Profiteering and Fearmongering and Scaremongering and Warmongering and Corruption that i would gladly leave this existence in a fight against this Evil force in a flash.
@bmaz: I read that to mean the US arrogantly blew off the Taliban. I don't think our attitude that charges of terrorism need evidence before summary execution happened overnight on 9/11.
@Roman Berry: So, then, what do you make of the video with OBL bragging about 9/11 and taking credit for it? And to say that the Taliban gov't of Afghanistan would just turn OBL over to us if only we'd prove his complicity, that's not how I remember it. Now, admittedly, Bush was in charge of that operation, and he wasn't particularly interested in using the International Court to resolve such disputes.
Bob in AZ
@MadDog: There are also rumors that someone attempted to burn the bodies, and that the victims were mostly shot in the head, execution-style. Also reports that more than one individual was involved. Our government will undoubtedly try to cover everything up, and stick to their public posture, like they did in the Tillman case. I think there will be more about this case coming out.
Bob in AZ
@orionATL: Gotta say, the Quran-burning and the massacre of sleeping civilians sure makes the pissing on dead Talibans look tame by comparison.
Maybe this madness is all part of a plot to make the LAST terrible thing we've done look minor by comparison?
@orionATL: Don't forget the SS flag photo
Excellent info, thanks.
This will undoubtedly remind Americans of My Lai and other massacres led by U.S. forces. It was from Mary Beth Perdue that I learned of the guy at My Lai whose really heroic actions prevented an even greater slaughter: Hugh Thompson,Jr.
@emptywheel: You never cease to amaze me. Makes a helluva lot of sense.
This is from Sarah (RIP) at TNH back in 2006. Sorting out the Generals
Among a variety of terrific points, she referenced the "Hunt Report," which is still taught at West Point. As far back as the 1920's the US military knew not to use "blooded" units in occupations.
i have often recalled that comment. i believe it was in the context of talking about general george marshall's experiences in ww i that led to the view that fighting troops should never be allowed to be occupying troops. the tendency to retaliate would prove too great.
a wonderfully wise and well-informed person, sarah.
@28, @29: Good points!
Another way to frame this is that fighting troops and peace-keeping troops have very different functions and different training requirements. Indeed, the requirements of peace-keepers are probably incompatible with the training requirements of combat troops.
One of my pet peeves is that the National Guard should never ever be used in a war of choice invasion overseas: It just makes a mockery of the Guard's design and purpose. National Guard troops stationed overseas should be redeployed back home ASAP. However, the National Guard is better suited to peace-keeping than the regular combat troops, and should not be "blooded." It is another perversion of this war that National Guard troops have become blooded.
Bob in AZ
"the national guard should never be used in a war of choice invasion overseas"
i whole-heartedly agree, bob.
in my view, the national guard should be for domestic use only.
using the national guard in iraq was just one of a long list of initiatives from the rumsfeld dod that have been exceptionally damaging to the functioning and pride of the american military.
it was intended, i believe, as a penny-pinching way of conducting an invasion and war without greatly increasing active duty personnel or military equipment costs.
@guest: Bob, first on the Taliban offer to turn over Bin Laden, what you remember and what actually was are likely not the same thing. The Taliban's offer was not given extensive coverage in the US media (which was doing its part to beat the drums of war.) Google is your friend: taliban offers to turn over laden
Second, on the supposed video "with OBL bragging about 9/11 and taking credit for it", I'll ask you to look further into what OBL actually said on that tape as opposed to what the US media reported. The translations you and I were fed were…problematic. In fact, the authenticity of the tape itself is problematic.
Do you trust the US government to tell you the truth? The US media?
@Roman Berry: Thanks for your links.
Bob in AZ
@Bob Schacht:
Apparently some of the other people who lived there are talking. The government is still saying (AFAIK) that it was 'only' one guy, and 'he turned himself in' – both of which are setting off my 'yeah, right' reaction. (Also, this is another unit from Lewis-McChord. Which may, this time, finally get a real investigation.)
More facts/rumors are reported about the soldier who went off base – in addition to being a 38 y/o staff sergeant, married with two children, with 3 iraq tours, they are now adding that he was trained as a sniper and recently suffered a head injury.

SIKESTON - Feel like your memory is slipping lately? Then jot down a reminder - a free, confidential memory screening will be offered June 17 at Missouri Delta Medical Center.
"A registered nurse will work with them to administer a mini mental status examination," said Rebekah Halter, community education manager for Senior Lifestyles at MDMC. "They'll just ask them questions regarding their memory. It takes about 15 minutes."
Right after the screening, feedback and referral information will be given to participants based on the evaluation. "They do need to register for this," Halter said. As reservations are required and enrollment will be on a first come, first served basis, she advised registering early.
MDMC's Senior Lifestyles unit, which provides acute treatment to individuals over the age of 55 in need of behavioral health services including those needs resulting from Alzheimer's disease, has partnered with the Alzheimer's Association to provide this screening.
For more information about the free memory screening or to schedule an appointment call Rebekah Halter at Senior Lifestyles, 472-7497.

Events and Activities :: Night of Destruction: Trailer races, Wall of Fire to return to BC Fair Friday
· 5:05pm July 22nd, 2014
The popular trailer races are returning to the Benton County Fair this Friday night.
Part of the "Night of Destruction" that includes drivers aiming their vehicles through a wall of fire, cars racing chained together (one facing forward, the other facing backwards), the trailer race event is not actually a race to see who finishes first. Rather, it's a rolling demolition derby, as drivers pull their trucks around the track while attempting to separate the other vehicles from their trailers. The winner is the last driver who can keep his vehicle running with the trailer still attached.
The event leaves the track covered with a thick layer of debris; many drivers decorate their trailers with some unique items.
Wall of Fire
Last year, Kevin Juarez, using the stage name Jalepeno, drive a truck through a wall of fire. This year, says event promoter Ed Callan, a couple of "local daredevils" are planning to drive vehicles through even larger walls of fire. Callan said he is keeping the identity of the drivers a secret for now.
The event will also include a "Tuff Truck-Car" competition, which is somewhat of an obstacle course, and other events.
For rules or more information, call Callan at 319.551.7351.

Health Information > Medications > Vaccines > Pneumococcal Pneumonia
Reviewed on 2/13
By Dr. Christopher A Czaja, MD
This form of pneumonia is caused by the Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria. It is spread through extensive close contact with exchange of respiratory secretions. It can occur as a major complication of influenza (flu) or without influenza. Complications can be very serious for people with compromised immune systems.
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a common cause of community-acquired pneumonia, sinusitis, and upper respiratory disease and an important cause of invasive disease, including blood stream infection and meningitis. People at greatest risk for invasive disease include children older than 2 years, adults 65 years of age and older, and those with high-risk medical conditions. After the PCV7 vaccine for infants became available in 2000, the rate of invasive pneumococcal disease decreased nearly 50% by 2007.
Symptoms include:
The pneumococccal vaccine can lessen the chance of getting pneumococcal pneumonia; however, it is not a substitute for the influenza vaccine. There are two types of the pneumococcal vaccine: PPSV23 and PCV13.
PPSV23 helps to protect someone from 23 strains of pneumococcal bacteria. This vaccine may be repeated in five to seven years. It is safe to receive both the influenza and pneumococcal vaccines at the same time.
Who should receive the PPSV23 vaccine?
A one-time revaccination dose of PPSV23 is recommended 5 years after the first dose for those with functional or anatomic asplenia and for immunocompromised people.
All adults older than 65 years should receive PPSV23 regardless of previous vaccination, as long as five years have passed since previous PPSV23.
Adults older than 19 years with immunocompromising conditions, functional or anatomic asplenia, cerebrospinal fluid leak, or cochlear implant should also receive a single dose of PCV13.
PCV13 is a vaccine that contains 12 of the 23 strains of pneumococcal bacteria found in the PPSV23 vaccine; these 12 strains have been targeted for a better immune response in the body to prevent pneumonia after receiving the vaccination.
Who should receive the PPSV23 vaccine?
Children with high-risk medical conditions should also receive one dose of PPSV23 after completing PCV13. A second dose of PPSV23 is recommended 5 years after the first dose for children with functional or anatomic asplenia, HIV, or other immunocompromising conditions.
Talk with your health care provider about which version of the vaccine is right for you.

Dover Beach
by Matthew Arnold
Symbol Analysis
The night has a few different roles to play in this poem. In a way, it's kind of a flexible image. At first, it connects with the feelings of comfort and calm that dominate the opening scenes of the poem. By the end, though, it's part of a much more sinister set of ideas, connected metaphorically with all of the pain and suffering of humanity.
- Line 6: In this line, nighttime sounds pretty great. The speaker even goes so far as to describe the air as "sweet" a figure of speech that fits in beautifully with the relaxed ambiance of these opening lines.
- Line 27: By this point in the poem, the night has become a symbol not of peace and happiness but of desolation and fear. The night-wind (in comparison with the night-air in line 6) sounds kind of evil and threatening to us. Rather than caressing the speaker, it howls around a lonely and vulnerable world.
- Line 37: It's no accident that "night" is the final word in this poem. With an ending like that, Arnold leaves us in darkness, abandoned in the confusion of the faithless world. While night doesn't always have to symbolize emotional darkness, it sure does here.

My Pledge - America must win this war. Therefore, I will work, I will save,I will sacrifice, I will endure, I will fight cheerfully and do my utmost, As if the issue of the whole struggle depended on me alone." Pvt Martin Treptow,
That's right, Kevin. Thanks for reminding me that I need to print them out and put in my Chapter H Unikeep(R) binder.
[QUOTE=KED;1492582]... As a matter of fact most Japaneese hand grenades could be used in the knee mortar. All that was required was an addaptor that could be screwed onto most grenades. (Launch charge)
Isn't this exactly what is already modeled in the game on the japancese 50* MTR counter? the 1/2 FP {1-6} markings for the reduced charge of a regular grenade with a firing adaptor attached for short range engagement?
Given that the mechanic already exists, it would be simple to SSR the same mechanic to apply to other Lt Mtrs in the game to represent a given event or battle where they may be desirous to exemplify as a unique characteristic of that battle or unit, regardless of nationality. something such as "Italian 45* MTRs have the same short range capability as the Japanese Mtr IJA Ordance note blah blah blah, etc, etc."
Again, simple for play, the players would only need to set a upside down 50* japanese mtr to the side for ref, much as they do a PF mrkr or a Baz 44 mrkr when these are in play for easy reference.
Now my curiosity IS sparked at the image and recorded events of priming a 60mm Mtr Round in hand and using it as an impromptu satchel charge when none was at hand to engage a bunker. Or how about ad hoc AP mines from unexploded 81 mm Mtr rounds?
The thoughts here:
An infantryman, ( or in reality any person engaged ) in a firefight will use whatever is at hand, in any conveniently accesible manner, to find a method to gai nthe upper hand in said firefight. Simply why so many 2.75 in HEAT rockets were used in engagements against MG 34 / MG 42 nests in 1944 1945. The bazooka was developed as an AT weapon, yet was adapted in the field to use in suppression of enemy fire assets.
Is this really not a sufficiently modeled trait of our cardboard warriors already? The HoB tables certainly seem to show it in an abstract form, with heroes and BHing, leader creation, even beserk rage charges at the enemy. All being done in a random mannerism to reflect the small percentage of men in combat who will seek any possible advantage of any weapon or piece of equipment to win the firefight they are engaged in. If there is specific need to model it as a pivotal event, then you might try enlisting the aid of a similar SSR as one finds at the bottom of "Bread Factory #2" scenario card; forcing the event as it were.

CORRECTION: May 30, 2013
An incorrect last name was included in the print and initial online versions of this article. The error has been corrected online.
STOCKTON - A line of hungry downtown residents formed Friday morning outside the old Malt-O-Meal cereal warehouse on East Market Street where a newly formed church group has begun providing free food to those in need.
Couple Joel and Dess Butler, who have for four years run the nonprofit group Supplying Needs, have started the food giveaway as part of the fledgling Help Ministries.
"We advertised once, and that's all it took," Dess Butler said. "We helped feed 150 families last week. It keeps growing."
The Butlers accept food donations from stores, restaurants, other food banks and individuals. From 8 a.m. to noon Fridays the couple and a group of volunteers help guide clients through a line of food. The options change every week.
On Friday at 1045 E. Market St., canned goods, fresh produce, day-old baked goods, boxes of microwave popcorn and cases of juice were available.
"This is very important," said Ginger Mayo, 50, who offered to volunteer for Help Ministries after receiving a basket of food Friday. "I live in the neighborhood, and it's needed more and more. It's becoming a more desolate part of town."
Mayo said the food she would take home Friday wouldn't feed her family for a full week, but, "it sure does help."
Dess Butler said Help Ministries accepts donations. For more information, call (209) 401-5053.

What to Watch For: Pens vs. Sabres
Saturday, 02.16.2013 / 1:03 PM
Michelle Crechiolo
PENGUINS (10-5-0) vs. SABRES (6-8-1)
February 17, 2013 - 12:30 p.m. |
First Niagara Center
Penguins Radio 24/7
The Penguins and the Sabres meet for the first time this season on Sunday afternoon in Buffalo, which will be nationally televised on NBC as part of their celebration of Hockey Day Across America.
Goalie Ryan Miller has been keeping
his team in games.

The Sabres enter Sunday's game coming off a big come-from-behind victory over the Boston Bruins on Friday night. It was an important win for the Sabres, as the team needs as many two-point nights as they can get because of their lethargic start that's seen them at or near the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings through the first quarter or so of the season.
Despite their struggles, the Sabres do have the league's leading scorer in winger Thomas Vanek, who has 11 goals and 23 points through 14 games. Vanek began the year on a blistering pace with points in 10 of his first 11 games, including a pair of five-point efforts. The left winger has been dynamite on a line with longtime teammate, captain Jason Pominville, who has six goals and 14 points in 14 games. Center Cody Hodgson, who has 13 points (6G-7A), completes the line.
After Vanek, we must talk about the dynamic play of goaltender Ryan Miller. Friday's game in Boston was a perfect example of what he's been doing for the Sabres all season. He kept his team in the game through the first 40 minutes, stopping 27-of-29 shots as the Sabres struggled in their defensive zone. If it weren't for Miller's sensational play, the Bruins could have easily scored a bucket of goals. But they didn't, and Miller allowed his team to get to their game in the third period and come away with the win.
Miller has seen more shots than any other netminder in the league by a considerable margin. He's been covering up for breakdowns in the defensive zone and coming up with big saves. However, he's 5-10-3 all-time against Pittsburgh, so there's always a possibility that backup Jonas Enroth could get the start Sunday.
Overall Buffalo's defensemen haven't strong in their own end this season, starting with Tyler Myers. The hulking 6-foot-8 defenseman has been a healthy scratch twice this season because of his struggles. But on Friday, Myers looked like the defenseman who signed the seven-year contract extension in 2011 as he finished the game with a goal and an assist. He was skating and moving and being aggressive on the rush, something he, Christian Ehrhoff, Jordan Leopold and the rest of the Sabres defensemen do very well as a group when they're on their game. Their mobility and ability to contribute offensively is something the Penguins must be aware of on Sunday.
Going back to the forwards, a big problem for the Sabres was that apart from Vanek's line, no one else was producing much for the Sabres. But on Friday, the Sabres' second line of Marcus Foligno, Tyler Ennis and Drew Stafford had a big evening for their team. Stafford, who had 31 goals two seasons ago, broke his 14-game goalless drought and got a big tally for the Sabres. Ennis finished with two assists and Foligno added a helper as well as Buffalo scored all four of its goals at even strength. In addition, the Pens will be seeing rookie center Mikhail Grigorenko, drafted 12th overall in the 2012 draft, for the first time Sunday. The Sabres also acquired agitating forward Steve Ott from Dallas in the offseason.
(Getty Images)
While Vanek started the season with an eight-game point streak and points in 10 of his first 11 games, the league's leading scorer has since been held off the scoresheet for three straight games. However, don't expect a player of Vanek's caliber to stay quiet for long. Vanek is a big body – 6-foot-2, 205 pounds – that uses his size to his advantage to fight through traffic in front of the net. He's also deadly from the perimeter as he's got a goal scorer's release and the hands to absolutely snipe the puck. He'll be a lot for Pittsburgh's defensemen to handle.
This season the Sabres have been imploding in their own zone when their opponents trap them there. Vitale is exactly the kind of player who could force them into playing defense with his speed and energy on the forecheck. We saw him use that outstanding speed of his on Friday in Winnipeg to create lanes down the side of the ice for himself and drive to the net. Once his line with Tanner Glass and Craig Adams gained the zone, they brought their brand of grind-it-out hockey to sustain the pressure. Add all of that to Vitale's proficiency in the faceoff circle, and he could be a key player for the Pens on Sunday.
The two teams combined to score 32 goals in the four meetings last season (PGH, 17; BUF, 15). That's the most combined goals in the season series between the teams since 1995-96 when they totaled 45 goals (PGH, 23; BUF, 22) in six meetings.
The Penguins dominated the special teams matchup between the teams last season, going 6-for-14 (42.9%) on the man-advantage and killing off all 10 Buffalo power-play changes. The Penguins have held the Sabres without a power-play goal in six straight meetings entering today. The last time Buffalo scored on the man-advantage against Pittsburgh was Dec. 11, 2010. Since that PPG from Tyler Ennis, the Penguins have killed off 16 straight Buffalo power plays.
Pittsburgh has gone 17-7 in its last 24 meetings against the Sabres. In those 24 games the Penguins have averaged 3.38 goals. The Penguins have gone 8-3 in their last 11 visits to the First Niagara Center.
James Neal has notched at least one goal in three straight games and he has six goals over his previous six games. Five of the six goals have been power-play markers. He has had power-play goals in three straight games. Should Neal record a power-play tally Sunday, he will become the first Penguin to do so in four straight games since Michel Ouellet did so in five straight games between Dec. 31, 2005-Jan. 7, 2006 (Source: Stats LLC).
Neal has now scored a team-leading 11 goals this year, tying him for the NHL lead with Buffalo's Thomas Vanek. Neal also leads the NHL with seven power-play goals and four game-winning goals. Neal has had the game-winning goal in each of the team's last three victories. Neal ranks second in the NHL with seven road goals (Patrick Kane, 8). Neal has points in six straight games against Buffalo (5G-3A). Since joining the Penguins, Neal has recorded points in all five games he's played against the Sabres (4G-3A).
Sidney Crosby enters today's game having recorded at least one point in 13 straight games against the Buffalo Sabres. During his streak, Crosby has 20 points (7G-13A), while the Penguins have posted a 10-3 record. Crosby has tallied points in all 12 of his visits to the First Niagara Center – totaling 17 points (7G-10A). For his career, Crosby has tallied at least one point in 19 of 21 games against the Sabres.
The Penguins lead the Eastern Conference with a 7-2 road record thanks in large part to its goaltending. Marc-Andre Fleury has gone 4-1 with a 1.58 goals-against average (just 8 goals allowed all year) and a .946 save percentage (139 saves/147 shots) in five road starts. Tomas Vokoun is 3-1 with a 2.26 goals-against average and a .923 save percentage.

Long-serving Cork footballer Graham Canty has called time on his inter-county career.
The 33-year-old Bantry Blues clubman captained the Rebels to All-Ireland victory in 2010. He is the holder of four Munster SFC medals and was on the side that captured three consecutive Allianz League Division 1 titles. All Star came recognition also came his way on three occasions.
In all Canty played 61 times for his county and was handed the captaincy by former manager Conor Counihan in 2008. His departure comes after fellow defenders Noel O'Leary and Paudie Kissane announced that they were also quitting the county scene.
Speaking to the Irish Examiner, Canty admitted that now was the right time to end his 13-year tenure playing senior football for Cork.
He said: "There are no regrets, certainly. I'm glad to be finishing up with Cork while the body is in good enough nick. I'll be continuing with the club, 100%.
"When you're playing inter-county, you don't train with your club, realistically, so I'll be glad to fall back in with the lads in Bantry again."
