System of a Down's John Dolmayan Reveals Lyrical Inspiration for 'I-E-A-I-A-I-O'
During an interview with drummer John Dolmayan, we got the exclusive on a story which inspired part of the song.
During an interview with drummer John Dolmayan, we got the exclusive on a story which inspired part of the song.
The drummer adds that the fact System of a Down haven't started creating again is "not okay."
Mash-ups can be a little bit of hit and miss, but there are occasions where the vision of the producer is just too interesting not to check out. Such is the case for the new mash-up 'Crocodile Chop,' which unites the System of a Down favorite 'Chop Suey' with Elton John's extremely upbeat and poppy '70s favorite 'Crocodile Rock.'
On July 29 at California's iconic Hollywood Bowl, System of a Down played what would be their only North American tour date of 2013. At the conclusion of System's massive set, drummer John Dolmayan promised the L.A. crowd that a new album will be released before the band returned to the Bowl. However, frontman Serj Tankian chose to set the record straight during an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on Reddit.
System of a Down played their one-and-only North American show scheduled for this year on July 29 at California's Hollywood Bowl. The Los Angeles crowd went nuts for the band, but after System closed with 'Sugar,' drummer John Dolmayan brought the cheers to a new decibel level by promising a new album when they play L.A. again.
In a series of Facebook posts that went up today (May 20), System of a Down bassist Shavo Odadjian opened a huge can of worms in a very public way. According to a number of posts on Odadjian's official fan page -- on which the bassist does post regularly -- he accuses System vocalist Serj Tankian of holding the band back.
System of a Down have just announced that their only U.S. performance in 2013 will take place at Los Angeles' Hollywood Bowl on July 29, so if you're a hardcore fan, you may want to set the date, no matter where you happen to live in the States.
System of a Down fans have been patient in recent years, with the group spending a lot of time on hiatus pursuing other musical avenues. Though the band has reunited for a series of shows over the past two years, there has been no talk about future albums or dates … until now. System have revealed their first two performances of 2013, set to take place in August.
Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello, System of a Down singer Serj Tankian and Rise Against frontman Tim McIlrath have joined forces to create an unofficial anthem for the Occupy Wall Street movement. Morello recently performed a free show to mark the one-year anniversary of Occupy and to help "re-energize" the political faction.
System of a Down drummer John Dolmayan has worked with various artists since the band's hiatus in 2006. Along with contributing to the solo career of System frontman Serj Tankian, Dolmayan has been the drummer for the Daron Malakian side project Scars on Broadway. However, in a recent interview, Dolmayan revealed that he is no longer a member of Scars on Broadway, despite the band currently working on a new album.
More than a year-and-a-half after the celebrated return of System of a Down, it's possible that we may now have a timetable for when the Armenian-American quartet will be releasing a new album.
System of a Down kicked off a brief North American summer tour with Deftones last night (Aug. 2) in Camden, N.J. We recently caught up with System singer Serj Tankian to discuss his new solo album 'Harakiri,' but we were also able to squeeze in a few questions about System of a Down. Check out our quick Q&A with Tankian concerning the latest on System of a Down below:

B-25 interior colors...via John Clements and Dana Bell....
March 19 2006, 11:56 AM
Interior Colors for the B-25B/C/D/G
The information below is from Mr. John Clements, a model builder and lucky soul that works on real B-25 aircraft. This color information is in complete agreement with information that I received many years ago from Mr. George Lee. The only addition is that Georges information gives the decking as natural metal or zinc chromate primer (the bright yellow color). Take note that the Yellow-Green listed below was the now well known mix of zinc chromate primer, black enamel and aluminum powder. The resulting color was a dark olive green. The name is quite descriptive of the color. This color was not ANA 611 Interior Green. Yellow-Green was not matched to any color specification. And as a contractor shop mixed color considerable variation undoubtedly occurred. For my purposes, I simply mix yellow and black paints to suit. A ratio of 10 parts yellow and 1 part black is my favorite mix. I use Floquil ATSF Yellow and Floquil Engine Black. I think that any yellow or black would probably do. If too dark or light, add or subtract black as suits you.
As an aside, Mr. Clements stated that the interior colors remained the same for the later B-25J version with the exception that the cockpit was finished with Dull Dark Green.
My "B" manual is a copy of the service manual, plus some other interior stuff from another source, mostly cockpit. The copies of the photos aren't the best, but they're clear enough to see what's going on. Unfortunately, there is no color information in this manual. But, I do also have access to a copy of an early C/D maintenance manual, which has a very extensive materials/finishes section. What I've done is compare tonal differences in the black and white photos in the manuals and I believe that the B airplanes and the C/D airplanes were finished the same in the interior. Here's what I have, tell me if it differs with what George Lee gave you. The photos support these notes.
Flight Deck - Bronze Green #9
Seats - Aluminum
Bombardier's Compartment - Yellow-Green (Tinted Zinc Chromate)
Navigator's Compartment - Yellow-Green
Radio Compartment - Yellow-Green
Tail Compartment - Yellow-Green
Bomb Bay - Aluminum
Wheel Wells - Aluminum
Instrument Panels - Flat Black
Sound Proofing Material, Flight Deck - Dyed to match Bronze Green #9
Sound Proofing Material, all other areas - Dyed to match Yellow-Green

B-25J Interior Colors
Thu Oct 23 22:21:00 2003
I promised the forum an article on B-25J interior colors a couple of nights ago, but I've made a few interesting discoveries while carefully reading the E&M manual section on finishes. I'm trying to get photo confirmation on a few points, which I hope to have tomorrow. I will post a more detailed article at that time, or over the weekend.
I'm consulting the B-25J E&M manual AN 01-60GE-2 with the revision dated 5 August 1944. In a nutshell, here's the Reader's Digest version of what it says:
Flight deck and glare shield are Dull Dark Green.
Everything aft of the flight deck is yellow-green/Interior Green
Bombardiers station is yellow-green/Interior Green
Bomb bay, engine nacelles, and wheel wells receive no finish coat
Instrument panel is flat black
Now, there are some exceptions and detail differences that are listed, and this is where I'm trying to get photo documentation of what is listed. There are two different charts that reflect early airplanes and late airplanes, and I'm trying to find out where the "cut-off" is. One of the points is that the early airplanes are listed with yellow -green in the aft areas and bombardier's station, while the later airplanes list these areas as Interior Green. According to Dana Bell, they were essentially the same color with two different names. The spec listed is AN-TT-P-656 for yellow-green, and AN-TT-P-656a for Interior Green. Dana, any comments?
Like I said above, I'll have more information tomorrow, and I'll post what I found out as soon as I can.

Hi John,
I just caught this thread - I've got a few things I can send your way, but I'm pretty backed up with things that I owe folks just now. I'll try to pull some stuff together for you, but it won't be soon.
In the meantime, four things from memory:
- One B-25 factory (El Segundo?) was "excused" from using interior primers, based on the lack of a large paint shop. Color photos of the production lines show the California-built aircraft proceeding down the line in aluminum finish, while the midwest-built aircraft are all primed (inside and out) with yellow zinc chromate.
- Before DDG came into widespread use, early Mitchells used Bronze Green on the flight decks. The color shows clearly in some of the early in-flight photos.
- AN-TT-P-656 was the joint spec for tinting (yellow) zinc chromate primer. I believe the "a" revision reflected the deletion of aluminum paste/powder from the formula, but my copies of the spec are buried VERY deep just now. There was more of a color change than the documentation had originally reported (talk about "close enough for government work!") The early aircraft would have used the lighter formula, since aluminum wasn't thought to be a problem. Intermediate aircraft may have use a formula substituting tinting gray for aluminum and black (attempting to look like the earlier formula). And by late 1942, the black-only formula that became known as Interior Green would be making its first appearances. B-25Js SHOULD certainly have used the Interior Green formula.
- Watch for Instrument Black on the panel - it had an eggshell finish, and replaced flat black in nearly everything by mid-war.
Sorry I can't get into the refs just now - one day I'll just sit down and find everything I've promised folks!
also of use for more on colors, this is very useful.
has a few color pics to illustrate this.
Posted 21 March 2011 - 10:22 PM
Thanks to both of you for the help, it's appreciated. I had seen a build article somewhere, ( it may have been AIR Modeller), which showed the interior as yellow chromate which didn't seem right to me. I have now got enough info to start the build.
Once again, thank you

What is an Internship?
An internship is a planned, structured, and closely supervised educational experience that takes place primarily outside of the college classroom involving "real world" work that is closely related to a student's anticipated career path. The purposes of the Psychology internship include providing students with opportunities to:
- enhance and supplement the college classroom learning experience by "learning through doing;"
- develop and apply new knowledge about human behavior as well as new social and interpersonal skills;
- explore and reflect on personal strengths and weaknesses related to interpersonal behavior in work settings;
- explore and reflect on future career and employment options; and
- develop a network of contacts and references, which will lay a foundation for future employment and/or education and training.
The central theme of the internship concept is that work experience outside of the college classroom can greatly enhance education and better prepare students for entry into jobs and careers after college.
Why is an Internship Required in the Lehigh Valley Psychology Degree?
A goal of the Psychology program is to help students develop knowledge and skills in areas of applied psychology that will help them function effectively in the work world. Although much of this knowledge and many of the skills will develop through classroom lecture and discussion, active learning projects, presentations, and writing assignments, the internship adds a unique and essential learning experience, which complements classroom learning. As a result of the work experience, Psychology graduates will have a broader and more practical college experience and will be better prepared to enter jobs in social service organizations and businesses, which require knowledge and skills related to applied psychology.
How Many Credits/Hours are in the Internship?Students receive credit for internship work through PSYCH 495 (A,B,C,D) each semester during their junior and senior years (3 credits each semester for a maximum of 12 credits). The internship work requirement is distributed as follows:
- PSYCH 495A, 75 hours of onsite work
- PSYCH 495B, C, &D, 150 hours of onsite work each
The total number of hours of internship available is 525 hours, totaling 12 credits.
How is an Internship Different from a Part-Time/Full-Time Job, and Will It Pay?
There are three major differences between an internship and private employment (part-time or full-time).
- Learning and gaining experience are the major goals of an internship?not making money. Students may or may not be paid for their internship work depending on the type of organization of business they choose. Many social service agencies cannot afford to pay interns, although some might pay a small stipend or offer other incentives. Businesses and corporations may pay interns modest wages. Students who need a source of income may need to maintain a job in addition to their internship; students who find a paying internship might well find that their internship will compensate them adequately and might not need other employment.
- The location of the internship and the nature of the work performed must be approved by a faculty member before the internship begins. It is important that the work assigned be matched to the interests and skill level of the student as well as the needs of the organization/business offering the internship. Most importantly, the work assigned must provide a learning experience for the student.
- Both a psychology faculty member and an onsite supervisor evaluate the internship experience. The onsite supervisor primarily determines job performance and the faculty member determines the value of the learning experience and assigns a grade for the experience. The completion and quality of PSYCH 495 course assignments related to the work experience is also reflected in the internship grade (see requirements below).
When Should Internships be Scheduled?
Students should schedule an internship each semester during their junior and senior years (i.e. after they have completed 60 credits and have been admitted into the Psychology degree). It is required that students have successfully completed the following courses before scheduling an internship:
How Does One Find an Internship Site?Finding an acceptable internship location is ultimately the student's responsibility; however, students are given as much assistance as needed to ensure success. During the first few weeks of PSYCH 495A, students receive information, guidance, and individual help in securing an internship. Career Services at the Lehigh Valley Campus assists students with a list of agencies, organizations, businesses, and corporations that are appropriate for internship experiences. Students may also seek approval for internship sites that they find on their own-sites not on the College list. Students are also given guidance on writing resumes, interviewing, and accepting positions. (See "What Types of Organizations Are Appropriate for an Internship?" below.)
How Long Should the Internship Job Last?
Students are expected to schedule their internship during the semester and remain at a site for the full semester. Because many students will not have a clear idea of the type of job or career they are best suited for, and the needs of different sponsors will vary (some organizations might not need a student more than a semester), experimentation with more that one internship site is encouraged. A typical student may have two different internships over the four semesters; however, some may have three or four.
How Is the Internship (PSYCH 495) Grade Determined?
Credit and a grade for the internship is given in PSYCH 495 A,B,C, and D. Each course requires students to do the following:
- attend a specified number of classroom sessions (seminars) with other students and faculty supervisor(s) scheduled during the semester
- read assigned articles or textbooks
- make oral presentations/reports/case studies periodically to the class on the work experience
- maintain and submit an internship journal at the end of the semester
- be evaluated by the supervisor onsite
- have individual conferences with the onsite supervisor and a faculty supervisor during the semester concerning performance
- write a reaction paper on the internship experience at the end of the semester
The first internship course, PSYCH 495A, includes some additional requirements because it is an orientation course. These requirements are:
- orientation to the internship experience: readings, presentations, discussion
- discussion of issues of ethical and professional conduct and deportment
- development of a Self-Assessment Profile and a Career Goal Statement based on individual feedback from a career development test battery including the Strong Interest Inventory and the NEO-PI (personality inventory)
- development of a personal Internship Goal Statement
Who Supervises the Internship?Psychology faculty members are assigned responsibility for the PSYCH 495 course and he/she serves as the faculty internship supervisor. In special cases where an instructor assigned to PSYCH 495 is not well matched for a student's internship site, another psychology faculty member might supervise a student.
Faculty supervisors maintain close contact with onsite supervisors and communicate each semester with onsite supervisors to discuss student progress.
What Records are Kept of Internships?A departmental internship file is kept for each student and includes all records of the internship experiences including conference reports, onsite supervisor evaluations, records of any complaints, students' reports each semester, etc. The following specific forms must be completed and held in each student file:
- Summary of Internship experiences
- Student Internship Contract
- Internship Goals
- Site Supervisor Internship Evaluation
Students should also keep records of their internship materials in their own files.

I think I've got the virus off this computer. Still, don't accept anything from me, any strange emails or messages or whatnot... at least for the time being.
Also, this probably means I wont me on msn much anymore, since it was always really gay on this computer.
I'll try to snag my sisters laptop occasionally. And I'm still looking to get a laptop of my own around the corner here sometime.

So It Is Decreed And So It Shall Be Done
Oil on canvas
163 x 122.5 cm
Henry VIII strides out of the painting, his unwieldy gold chain glittering, his eyes staring glassily ahead, a severed female head held aloft behind him, and seems to intone the title of the painting itself -
So It Is Decreed And So It Shall Be Done
. If the title seems a bit too extravagantly theatrical to be genuine Tudor, it's because it is: Henry's dead eyes and tumbling jowls are those of his Madame Tussauds mannequin, painted by Nathan Cash Davidson in a style of semi-detached sarcasm. In Davidson's paintings, historical and imagined narratives are told as though half-heard, half-understood, but the space in his works is conversely overstuffed, both gesturally and pictorially, like the dummy Henry with his enormous shoulders.
Nathan Cash Davidson
Angelic Fever
Oil on board
40 x 30 cm
There's a joyous abundance in Davidson's paintings, a delight in the historical anachronism of the act of painting. In
Angelic Fever
, St Michael slams the Devil in the neck with a bendy pole, while a thicket of branches in the background (culled from an image found online of a snow-capped wood) struggles for pictorial supremacy. Disregarding pictorial niceties (anatomical accuracy, compositional logic, tonal consistency) means Davidson's painting is invested with the immediacy of a story told by an excited child: words tumble out, in whatever order they happen to appear.

Nobody Can Stop The Wooden Top Boy
Acrylic on canvas
76 x 60 cm
And in
Nobody Can Stop The Wooden Top Boy
, a scene from a surreal fairy tale written by the artist, a stag half-grimaces, half-grins at a stern older woman appearing by a waterfall: that sheepish, secretly delighted smile epitomises the gleeful picaresque of Davidson's painted world.

Say Cheese
Sara Evans shares her Granny's down-home comfort food
Good cooking runs in Sara Evans' family. "My mom is a major cook," declares Sara. "She's one of those who never leaves the kitchen. Every Sunday there is a huge meal with four desserts. "And my granny is the best cook," she adds, standing in the kitchen of her Nashville home. At family gatherings, Sara reveals, she always requests her favorite dish, Granny's Corn & Mac Bake.
Pulling her grandmother's handwritten recipe from a drawer, she explains, "This is so simple, because all you have to do is put the ingredients in a baking dish, stir it up and put it in the oven."
While Sara prepares the ingredients, her 19-month-old son, Avery, plays in the next room. She cuts a cube of cheese and lays it aside for him.
"Cooking at mealtime is my favorite thing in the world," she says. "I love that time of night, six or seven. I'll start the meal, and I'll put Avery in his high chair and give him some cheese while I'm cooking. We just talk and play, and I'll have the TV on. Avery loves to sit in his high chair forever - and being in the kitchen then is my favorite time of day."
Between celebrating her No. 1 "Born To Fly," touring with Alan Jackson and preparing for her participation in the upcoming George Strait tour, Sara has hardly had time to enjoy her kitchen. She confesses that there's not much time to cook out on the road, either.
"Right now there are so many people on the bus that it's hard to cook," she admits. "We eat out and we bring a ton of food with us. But as far as real cooking, we don't. We have lots of fruit and snacks, juice and cereal. Everything you could possibly want. But I really want to get into cooking, at least breakfast or something, on the bus."
On those rare days when Sara is in Nashville, she, Avery and husband Craig Schelske share traditional family dinners. "Every night when we're home, we sit down together for a meal. We don't eat separately. That's a big priority for us. And every morning we make eating together a ritual, too."
Even so, Sara confides she's no culinary expert. "I'm not a fancy cook," she says. "I'm more basic. Avery loves lima beans, so I make them all the time. And Craig likes my green bean casserole, and fried chicken and gravy.
"Cooking and cleaning are relaxing to me," she continues. "The main thing I get from it right now is a sense of normalcy and being domestic. I'm really old-fashioned.
Craig is a great cook, but I don't want my husband to do all the cooking. The only reason Craig ever does is because he has to, like if I'm giving Avery a bath.
"We're really busy right now, so neither one of us has much time to cook. We're just trying to survive. But I enjoy cooking, especially since I have a child now. I love to nurture him."
Sara loves nurturing everyone with Granny's Corn & Mac Bake. "It's comfort food," she explains. "Today I am making a double recipe because Craig wanted me to. At least I'll have food for supper."
Then Sara gets down to revealing the recipe.
"The first thing you do is grease the baking dish," she instructs. "Then you put one can of whole grain corn and one can of creamed-style corn in it. Don't drain the whole grain corn. Then you add one cup of cubed cheese. It normally takes one cup, but I'm going to double it.
"This recipe is so easy because you throw everything together," she continues. "You put in one cup of uncooked macaroni. Then you add one stick of melted margarine, which Granny calls oleo. I'm going to melt the margarine in the microwave; I'm not even melting it on the stove, which you could. Then you just stir it up and put it in the oven."
And to the salt lovers out there, Sara warns with a smile, "Granny specifically says, 'No salt needed in this recipe, as the cheese provides enough salt.' "
Sara says she doesn't really know how long the dish needs to bake. "Granny's recipe says, 'Bake until it bubbles and sets,' " she reads from the card. After baking it at 350 degrees until it bubbles and sets, Sara takes the dish out of the oven.
Sara inhales the comforting aroma. "This," she proudly proclaims, "is going to be so good!"

Another Halloween party for you! I wanted to create a little different printable Halloween collection- a sophisticated black and white like an old horror movie. A collection that would be suitable for all ages: adults, teen and the young kids. This allows you to pop any color you want! For younger kids add orange for a scary, but not too frightful delight! For teens add red or electrifying neon green! Or you can stick with the classic black and white and watch an old Hitchcock Film!
To create this Spooktacular Halloween we had "sinfully sweet" candy and desserts. Candy bars, rock candy, suckers, M&M's, mini mint spider eggs for refreshing the pallet. Some of our baked goods we had are chocolate cupcakes with black and white swirled frosting, homemade ghost and spider suckers and cookies & cream popcorn!
For the decorations we had black trees with spiders scaling down. The white branches with black leaves are from Pottery Barn! I just fell in love with them.
Come make a Spider Pom Pom with us! You can find our Spider Pom Pom tutorial here
In our spooktacular tree we hung witches caldrons closed with one of our 2" printable toppers as the "lid" secured with washi tape.
Watermelon flavored ghost and spider suckers. Make homemade suckers and add fun details with chocolate on top.
As you know it's "all about the candy" at Halloween! So we had plenty of treats to choose from
Black and white swirled cream cheese frosting.
We also made cookies and cream popcorn.... to die for (punt not intended lol) Literally though this popcorn was so good!!! Recipe here. One tip- have all of the white chocolate evenly coat the popcorn before you put the crushed oreos in
To drink we had milk to wash down all of our Halloween treats!
Six drink wrapper designs are included in the Halloween party pack

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Monday, Jan. 28, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- On Monday night across the state of Georgia, volunteers walked the streets trying to find out how many people in our cities are homeless. It's an annual census to help generate funding, but this year Augusta is doing things differently.
They say this year they want a more accurate count. Over the past few years, the numbers haven't truly reflected the amount of people living on the streets, so this year, they're taking this survey not only to the streets, but also to hospitals, clinics and even jails.
"It's very difficult," said Terry Bellew of being homeless.
Bellew has been living on the streets for the past five months along with hundreds of others, spending their nights in shelters.
"They're pretty full every night just about," he explained. "Sometimes you can't even get in because they're already full and some people have to sleep on mats."
It's a problem those who work with the homeless see every day.
"Agencies are having to turn individuals away for lack of assistance [daily] and so we're unable to put them all in shelters, we're unable to provide food for everyone, health care all of the social service agencies have had to cut back," said Kimberly Blanchard, who has been working with the homeless for five years and is the volunteer coordinator of this year's point in time count.
Dozens of volunteers hit the streets in Richmond County working to get more funding.
"When we go to request funding, request additional funding, we can prove the case if these numbers are strong enough to say Augusta does have a homeless problem, which we know we have," Blanchard said.
They hand out surveys to those who are homeless asking where they were spending the night Monday night. It's done in order to find out the most accurate information about the homeless population.
"In addition to wanting to apply for new funding, in order to have new buildings and to have new things added to our community, we've got to get these numbers as strong as we possibly can," she said.
Because when they don't have room in the shelters, a bed can be hard to find.
"Wherever they fall asleep, to be honest, I've done it myself," said Terry about where they sleep when the shelters are full.
Experts say the face of homelessness is changing and the population is growing as resources shrink, so they really need this funding. A big issue that the funding would help fix is the lack of women and children's shelters.

they kick things off with a really nice funky bitch. trey gets nice and bluesy, gordo nails the vocals. yamar cools things off for a minute before they rip into a really nice carrini. runaway jim keeps the momentum rolling. after the hour long jim the year before, the boys didn't really bother taking this one out too far. meat works well hear, but reba works even better. this gives the boys their first chance to really take off, and they really nail reba. this one stays in the normal "reba framework," but they work nice and precisely in that frame work. old home place is nice and snappy, and dst's is well executed. vultures really shines. this is a great tune that needs to be played more. this is a typically nice dark version. circus serves as a really nice cool down after a pretty fiery set. birds closes this one out in fine form. this one was not much of a jammer yet, but it was coming along.
then there is the second set. buried alive is absolutely, positively the best set opener around. trey kills some very nice santana'esque guitar licks through out this one. then out of buried, trey rips into wipe out. this one is nice and fun. after that one, they start up a rare second set chalk dust. trey litters wipeout teases all over the first section of chalk dust. then in trey's solo, him and fishman start to push the band in a slightly different direction. next thing you know, trey is belting out "mirror in the bathroom," between chuckles, of course. out of the mirror jam, they quickly shift back into a rowdy chalk dust jam, that quickly makes a bluesy turn. then, we are walking across the lawn! dog log is well-played. especially, since it quickly jumps back up into a very rowdy chalk dust closing. chalk dust closes with more energy, mostly built from the momentum of mirror and log, than any chalk dust closing i've heard. so, of course, the boys need a little cool-down, right? sanity! this always rare treat works oh so well after the chalk dust mayhem. keeping it mellow but with some oh so rare treats, they drop right into buffalo bill. i remember being so pissed that the centrum got buffalo bill in consecutive runs, but then, my home town deer creek dropped 'ol buffalo bill on us in '00 and '03. anyway, as if this show was not hot enough, they delve into a pretty solid mike's song. this one is pretty average for '98 with a slightly extended spacey jam before drifting into hydrogen. hydrogen is pretty straight forward. while the mike's song was pretty average, the weekapaugh was not. of course, gordo storms into the song like a champ, but the way they jam on this one is incredible. they drop it down twice, building it back up into storming weekapaugh jams both times. trey and page just dance around each other on this one, while gordon slaps away, and fishman keeps the beat like a mofo! great 'paugh, best of the year. now, that's the last song right? it's late... nope, antelope! trey nimbly brings us out of weekapaugh and into antelope. this draws a few cheers, to say the least. trey goes onto light this one up, and don't skip fishman's playing here. good antelope, especially being king of a free bonus on an already rediculously sick set/show. the encore leaves a little to be desired, but after that show, how much can you bitch about a 3 song encore. velvet sea doesn't do it for me, and golgi is one that i've grown weary of. they do tack on a bounus wipeout, sending everyone home extatic.
this is one show, along with the 95 show in the same venue, that if i had a time machine... well, anyway, the guys poor it on in the second set like i have never heard them. buried through chalk dust or the mike's groove would have really made any other show worth hearing, but to have all that, plus sanity and bill in the middle, really makes this one a contender for one of the best shows ever. it's in my top 10 for sure.
set 1:
funky bitch, reba, vultures
set 2:
buried>wipe>chalk>mirror>chalk>log>chalk, weekapaugh>antelope, hell gotta throw sanity and bill on there too...just get this show....the second set is must hear for any phish fan!

(Editor's note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly listed Draper's address as Arizona Street. Draper does not live on Arizona Street. Lately he has lived "from place to place," a relative told The Panolian.)
By John Howell
Batesville police have charged Andricus Draper, 23, in a Monday night shooting on Patterson Street that left one man dead and another injured.
Draper's arrest followed an all-night investigation by city officers and the Panola County Sheriff's Department. Investigators have also determined that a second shooting which occurred minutes later at West Ridge Apartments is not connected with the first, BPD Deputy Police Chief Don Province said.
The BPD received a report of the first shooting at 10:48 p.m., BPD Lt. Ruby Meyers said. Authorities believe that the Patterson Street shooting began with an argument at a nearby convenience store.
Panola County Coroner Gracie Grant-Gulledge said that Corey Henderson was pronounced dead at the scene of a shooting at a home at the corner of Patterson and Williams Streets in James Subdivision. Officers allege that Draper followed Henderson after the convenience store argument.
Henderson was shot multiple times. A second victim with Henderson, Darrius Johnson, was shot one time. He was transported to the Memphis Regional Medical Center.
While first responders were at the Patterson Street shooting scene, police received report at 11:23 p.m. of the second shooting at West Ridge Apartments on Tubbs Road.
Province said that Dustin Armstrong had been in his girlfriend's apartment when he was shot in the leg in an apparent robbery attempt.
Law enforcement personnel and vehicles and neighbors, some of whom were sobbing and in tears, clustered near the Patterson Street shooting scene.
At West Ridge Apartments other law enforcement officials and first responders crowded the parking lot along with neighbors standing on the ground below while the shooting victim's wound was examined by MedStat EMTs.
Armstrong could occasionally be heard by bystanders groaning loudly as he was being examined. However, the mood never turned as somber at West Ridge. While Armstrong was being carried down apartment steps on a spineboard, he could be seen moving and talking with first responders.
"He's shot in the leg; he's the lucky one," one bystander said.
On Tuesday, law enforcement officials were looking for one or more suspects believed responsible for Armstrong's shooting.

One who loves sex so much, they are a glutton.
Jill is a total sex pig. She has an insatiable sexual appetite.

Can you define these popular missing words?
A SexPig is a gay guy who can't get enough dirty sex. Alone, in groups, one-on-one, safe or bareback - it doesn't matter. The more the merrier, although most pigs prefer BB. Some pigs like to wear gear like leather, rubber, denium. Some SexPigs have a favorite sextoy - a 12-inch dildo or a superlarge buttplug. But they all have one thing in common: they just can't get enough mansex.
See that guy over there he's such a dirty little sex pig, he'll squeal for any guy.

Boot camp for Coventry NEETs
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Communities
boot camp
Eight unemployed young people and five unemployed adults have been given access to jobs, after taking part in a Coventry boot camp.
It is the third time that local organisations have clubbed together to help young NEETs (not in education, employment or training) to become job ready and give them the opportunity to create better futures for themselves.
Housing associations Midland Heart, Orbit Heart of England and Whitefriars Housing worked with West Midlands Fire Service, CSWP, Coventry City Council Entry to Employment Team, Open Door Employment Programme, the Youth Offending Service, West Midlands Police and Coventry City Youth Services to run the two-week session.
All those who attended the boot camp were NEETs aged from 16 to 19 years old, and all of those who completed the course found out that they had been awarded a work placement.
Five scooped paid job opportunities and three are going for final interviews for paid positions, after successfully completing the programme.
An additional team of five mentors were recruited to help the boot campers. The mentors, who range in age from 19 – 49, are all unemployed people who were selected via the Job Centre, because of previous experience or skills in capacity-building young people.
Seventeen-year-old Tyson Waite, from Hillfields, was one of the NEETs who took part in the course. He secured a full-time job working as a multi-skilled operative for MS Contractors, which conduct repairs and maintenance for Midland Heart, one of the housing associations that organises boot camp.
He said: "Before doing boot camp I was working two days a week in a temporary learning position at Coventry Building Workshop, doing construction and intensive training. When I found out about boot camp I jumped at the chance. I want a full-time job. I've done lots of training in things like plumbing and engineering, but because of my low grades no-one would employ me. I'll be 18 soon and I don't want to be on benefits.
"Boot camp has been brilliant. Helping at the food bank showed me what it's like if you can't feed your family, and it's terrible. I've now learnt more about teamwork and taking responsibility. I'm so pleased that I've now got a proper job, I can't wait to start. I don't know what would have happened for me if I hadn't gone to boot camp – it's the best thing I've ever done."
Jayne Burns is Tyson's foster carer. She said: "I'm so proud of Tyson. When we were waiting to hear if he'd got a work position at the end of boot camp it was like my heart was in my mouth. He's now got a job, and it goes to prove that young people can get on if they have the right assistance. Boot camp has given Tyson a short-cut route to his future. Thank God for boot camp. I wish that more organisations cared for young people like this."

My name is Camille. I've played softball for 14 years. I've travelled all over Texas, I've played in Florida and Nevada. I played 18U since I was 11 with teams such as Lady Braves, Texas Cyclones, San Antonio Royals, San Antonio Hitt, and A LOT more.
I went to HS in GP and college up north in Iowa for 4 years. Recently, I've moved to San Antonio (Vance Jackson Area) and would like to continue doing pitching lessons like I did back in Corpus.
I give lessons to beginners through advanced pitchers. I can work with any form that a pitcher has and can teach all types of pitches. I know the fast, curve, (2) drop, screw, (2) change-up, and riseball. I charge $30/hour. I can teach 2 pitchers at a time but I recommend one on one. As of now, I'm currently looking for a job but I'll be happy to give a lesson at any time of any day as long as there is enough daylight.
I love softball. It's given me opportunities I never thought I'd have. This game is a lifestyle for me and am more than happy to share and teach this love of the game to any girl that has the heart to work hard and give 110%.
You can reach me by email email@example.com and I'll be sure to get back with you asap.
Thank You

"Cyndi, let's go over the articles I need to assign," I said. I was in my office with my executive assistant, Cyndi Jones. I met her when I gave a speech at the Howard University School of Communications, and I hired her immediately after she graduated because she was ambitious and aggressive. It seemed like every other week I was getting an update on articles Cyndi had written for the Howard University newspaper. She's been with me for more than three years now.
"The Halle Berry and Yancey B. stories have been given to Kirsten Dawson. I'll make sure we have the signed contracts. The only one that hasn't been assigned is 'Divas return to the Great White Way,'" Cyndi said.
"Refresh my memory. Who are we featuring?"
"Vanessa L. Williams and Sheryl Lee Ralph," Cyndi said.
"Are they in the same show?"
"No. Sheryl is in a new musical, Millie sumthin', and Vanessa is in a revival of the musical Into the Woods."
"Now, Cyndi, I know the show isn't called Millie sumthin'—make sure you have the correct title before we talk to writers about a story," I said. "You know I hate stuff like that."
"I'm sorry. I'll be sure to do that. Do you have any writers in mind?"
"Maybe we should go with a guy. See who's available. By the way, how are things coming with the Sexiest Brothaman Alive contest?"
"The contest is coming along great. We've gotten some fantasticsubmissions. I'll investigate and get back with you. Don't forget your breakfast meeting in the morning," Cyndi said as she stood up. She was wearing a black semitransparent silk blouse that truly wasn't appropriate for the office. I started to say something, but the last time I spoke to Cyndi about her wardrobe she got a little sensitive. I realized she was young and she didn't know quite how to dress in a corporate environment. I had even taken her on a couple shopping trips, but she always seemed to be drawn to the tight and the transparent. Every Wednesday, Cyndi would use her lunch break to go to Century 21 and somehow always managed to find the tacky items left from the previous week. I was just praying that Davis didn't come down to the office today, because he wouldn't be able to bite his tongue. He'd tell me to send Cyndi home to change posthaste.
"Cyndi, who am I eating with tomorrow morning?"
"Eunice, the ad manager, and the guy who handles all the national advertising for Wal-Mart," Cyndi said.
"Oh yes. Eunice has been trying to land that account for months. I need to make a mental note to wear my red power suit," I said.
"You look fierce in that suit," Cyndi said as she walked out.
* * *
I was looking over the agenda for the weekly staff meeting when Cyndi walked back into the office carrying a vase of white orchids and said my mother was on the phone.
"Thanks, Cyndi," I said as I picked up. I smiled to myself, thinking that after three years Davis still remembered to send me a token of his affection once a week. I loved flowers almost as much as the aqua-colored boxes from Tiffany's.
"Zola, did I catch you at a bad time?"
"No, Mother. You know I always make time for you. What's going on?"
"I hate to bother you, but I just didn't know who to call," Mother said.
I knew from the sound of her voice that she was calling with bad news and had a feeling that it involved my older and troubled sister, Pamela. Everybody in my family always said Pamela had a few drama problems. I called her what she was, an emotional vampire sucking the life out of everyone she came in contact with. She caused chaos whenever she pleased.

Visiting Ozarks
Imagine buying a car without taking it for a test drive...not many people would want to do that!
Selecting a college is much more important than choosing a new car. We think you can learn a lot about Ozarks by browsing through our web site, but no matter how hard we try, we just can't convey everything about the university on the web! You really have to visit campus in person to get a feel for the place and the people.
When you visit the campus, you can talk to people, see the facilities, sit in on a class, try out the cafeteria, and explore the local area -- then you can judge for yourself whether Ozarks is the right place for you.
Scheduling a visit is easy. You can:
- Schedule your visit online
- Call EmmaLee Morrow, our Campus Visit Coordinator, toll-free at 1-800-264-8636

Hi Everyone,
I just started the C25K program in June and i am currently on W4D3 [actually, im on my second round of week 4 as i had to repeat it]. I have absolutely no experience with running and i was hopeing someone could enlighten me on what my speed setting should be during my jogging periods. I have been setting the speed to 5.0 during my jogs but am having a hard time during this particular week and i think i need to bring my speed down.
I realize everyone is different, i just want to get an idea of what other people are doing.
Thank you!!
I vary between a jog at a setting of 4 and at a setting of 5, although I have been known to use 6 once in a while if I'm feeling very ambitious . I'm even okay with starting at 5 and downshifting during the jogging period, or going the other way. In real life, when you're running, you don't have that belt forcing you to stay on pace, and so unles you are doing the program to become a super competitive athlete, I don't think it matters. If you are feeling you're having a hard time staying comfortable at 5 then bring it down to 4. I think I read somewhere that a lot of us beginners start out too fast, and find we should really slow up, build strength and lung capacity and THEN work on speed. If you are like me, this is hard to do, because I am very impatient. But I would honestly rather run for a very long time comfortably, than hurt myself and wind up unable to run and enjoy it. Hope that helps!

You should set the treadmill to whatever speed has you running at a pace that lets you speak (or sing, I suppose) in short phrases. If you're getting short of breath, that's a sign you're going too fast. If you're able to talk non-stop-stream-of-consciousness style, you need to speed up a bit.
Think in terms of military cadences: short phrases that can be chanted/sung in one breath. They're about a half-dozen words (give or take) per line. If you can run while doing something like that, you should be just fine.
When I first started out, I was jogging at around a 13 min/mile pace (that would translate to about 4.6 mph). You need to run at whatever pace feels comfortable for you -- don't get caught up in what others are doing!
Keep in mind that some days will be easier than others. You might be able to crank out the run portions of the program at 5.5 mph one day, then you might find yourself struggling with the next workout at 4.8 mph. Everybody has good days and bad days when running. The key is being consistent over time. Stick with it!
Congratulations on your progress and good luck with the rest of the program!
2012 Race Schedule
Providence Marathon (4:48:55)
Buffalo Half-Marathon (2:03:16)
Chicago Marathon (October 7)
As others have said the setting it "should" be set to is a speed that enables you to have a possibly slightly winded conversation with someone if they were running with you. In my opinion the *real* goal of C25K is to get someone to to the point they can run 5K - whatever the speed is. C25K gives someone a framework to get them into a habit, show (experience) that there will be good days and bad days, and even on the bad days we tend to feel the good-tired afterward. It also hopefully is motivating to see how, what once was hard, becomes easier with persistent effort.
Especially when starting out, but even for some after they're established runners, speed is not important. This is one of the things I love about this sport/hobby - people can pursue it and get out of it a wide variety of things.
Good luck and keep it up.
P.S.: The treadmill is invaluable - but don't forget to run outside, too, if your schedule and environment allow.

NEW ORLEANS, May 6, 2013 – Obstetricians who receive scorecards as part of a comprehensive safety program are more likely to follow elective induction guidelines set by The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) according to researchers at Summa Health System in Akron, Ohio.
"Performance scorecards for individual providers have thus far been untested, although the use of scorecards to track and improve quality of care at institutions is widely accepted," said Edward M. Ferris, M.D., of Summa Health System. "Individualized scorecards can be an effective tool to meet the goals of increased transparency in healthcare and provide the necessary feedback for individual provider success."
Summa researchers hypothesized that implementation of individualized provider scorecards would improve quality of care metrics and promote adherence to ACOG guidelines.
Based on a retrospective analysis, a blinded scorecard was distributed to obstetricians at Summa Akron City Hospital every six months for three time periods between 2010 and 2012. The scorecard reported on elective inductions at less than 39 weeks, c-section surgical site infections (CSI), and cesareans for nulliparous, term, singleton, vertex deliveries (CNTSV). Statistics were completed with SPSS20.0 using ANOVA with repeated measures with a Greenhouse-Geisser correction.
As a result of the scorecards, elective inductions for less than 39-weeks were reduced from five in the first time period to one in both the second and third periods. CSIs were reduced from 12 in the first period to four in the second period and nine in the third period. No changes were noted in CNTSV.
The research, titled "Physician Scorecards to Improve Care and Promote Adherence to ACOG Guidelines," was selected for a poster presentation at the 61st Annual Clinical Meeting of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists in New Orleans from May 4 to 8. Edward M. Ferris, M.D.; Tiffany Kenny, RN, MSN, C-EFM; Lisa Yeary, RN; Kenneth D. Snider, MA; Michele L. McCarroll, Ph.D.; and Vivian E. von Gruenigen, M.D., are authors.
An author from Summa Health System will be available to answer questions from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. during poster session 2 on May 7 at station 15 in the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center Exhibit Hall

A Must Read - Share
MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Cracking down on online child pornography is a growing challenge for Philippine police because those involved increasingly use unregistered pre-paid mobile phones lines and Internet devices that are hard to trace, a senior officer said Friday.
The comment came a day after British authorities announced that an international investigation had broken up a ring that streamed live webcam footage of child sexual abuse from the Philippines for paying viewers around the world.
Gilbert Sosa, director of the Philippine national police's Anti-Cybercrime Group, said Friday

Anuradhapura (අනුරාධපුරය), Sri Lanka
Elephant wall at Ruwanweliseya Dagoba, Anuradhapura (28 August 2005)
© Timothy Tye using this photo
The sacred city of Anuradhapura (Sinhala: ; Tamil: அனுராதபுரம்) is the first historical capital of Sri Lanka. Today recognised by Unesco as a World Heritage Site, Anuradhapura was established in the 5th century BC. It is located 203 km northeast of Colombo, in the arid northern plains. Anuradhapura was considered the greatest monastic city of the ancient world. At its peak, it had dozens of monasteries housing thousands of monks. I had the privilege of this ancient city with members of AsiaExplorers on an AsiaExplorers Scenic Tour.

Anuradhapura was a royal capital from which a succession of 113 kings reigned here. It was made the capital by King Pandukabhaya who reigned from about 437 BC to 367 BC. Their patronage saw the blossoming of the arts, producing magnificent palaces, sculptures, ornate pleasure gardens, and huge dagobas, the Sri Lankan bubble-shaped stupas that protected the most sacred relics of Buddhism.

The people of ancient Anuradhapura enjoyed freedom of worship. The kings of ancient Lanka in Anuradhapura built hospitals for people as well as veterinary hospitals for animals. But the most impressive civil engineering feat in Anuradhapura was for irrigation. These are the man-made reservoirs built to preserve the waters of the monsoon rain. They put in place a sluice system to ensure the rice fields receive enough water and are productive.
Ancient Anuradhapura traded with faraway civilisations. The discovery of Roman coins showed that Lanka was active in trading - and was probably an early tourist destination as well, visited by among others, Megasthenes, the Greek ambassador to India, and in the early 5th century, Fa Hien, the Chinese Buddhist pilgrim.

Anuradhapura derived its name from Anuradha, the name of one of the chief minister during King Vijaya's time, who founded the city around 500BC during the reign of King Pandukabhaya. By 161BC, the whole island was the control of King Dutugemunu with Anuradhapura as the capital. Anuradhapura was only abandoned in 1073 when Polonnaruwa became the new capital.

Saab Automobile's Déjà Vu Moment
You could say the move by Saab's parent company, Swedish Automobile, to apply for Sweden's version of Chapter 11 is long overdue but no real surprise. Just look back two years ago, almost to the day.
The company was on the block as former parent General Motors was in the throes of reorganization itself. Saab was fighting to stave off a certain death, facing bankruptcy and unable to pay creditors (including almost 10 billion kronor to GM and its tax bill to the Swedish government) while trying to survive in an industry in a downturn.
Enter Christian von Koenigsegg, maker of the eponymous Swedish supercars. He threw a lifeline to Saab with an offer to take the car maker off GM's hands for free, conditional on funding from the European Investment Bank.
"There are enormous obstacles to overcome" in saving Saab, HIS Global Insight analyst Tim Urquhart said in a research note at the time. "Not least, ensuring that the company can limit its cash burn and buy sufficient time and attract funding to underpin a turnaround."
Sound familiar?
Fast forward to 2011, change Koenigsegg and Christian — who walked away from the deal — for Spyker and Victor Muller, and Saab's unfortunate situation remains pretty much the same.
Unable to pay suppliers? Check. Problems with funding? Ditto. Creditor protection from a Swedish court while it reorganizes its operations? You guessed it. Saab is even proposing that the same administrator, Swedish lawyer Guy Lofalk, carry out the process.
In the two years since its last application, Saab could argue a lot has changed.
It has secured funding from the EIB, guaranteed by the Swedish state in exchange for substantial collateral. It's brought out a new model, a long-overdue revamp to the 13-year-old 9-5, and has others in the pipeline. It has attracted long-term funding from Zhejiang Youngman Lotus Automobile Co. Ltd. and Pang Da Automobile Trade Co. Ltd., two Chinese manufacturers looking for the cachet carried by a European brand. It even has advance orders for 11,000 cars with payment upfront.
What hasn't changed since Spyker's takeover (apart from its name to Swedish Automobile) are the ambitious plans for the company. Mr. Muller is sticking with "the key elements of Saab Automobile's original business, as Management believes the objectives of the overall strategy remain intact."
Really? Workers haven't received wages, suppliers haven't been paid and production has been halted since April.
A week ago, the company reported a second-quarter net loss of €152.2 million, up from a €60.4 million loss in the same period in 2010 and said it foresees a "substantial" loss in 2011. Sure, some costs can and will be cut, maybe even enough to lower break-even production to 100,000 from 140,000 to 160,000 now. But you have to wonder whether Mr. Muller has the wherewithall to fix it.
Some serious surgery is needed, not first aid. No one wants to see a company fail, but surely it's nearly time to stop flogging the dead horse.
