It's been announced that the venue for the inaugural Marmot Dark Mountains race will be Muncaster Castle in the southwest Lake District. This historic and reputedly haunted castle should provide a fitting backdrop to this unique overnight winter mountain marathon.
Rather than the usual format of two days of running with an overnight camp in between, Marmot Dark Mountains packs two days worth of running into one long winter night.
The event area has been carefully selected for its remote and mountainous moorland nature, says race director Shane Ohly. It is generally below 500m, and should avoid the worst of the winter weather that can be experienced on the higher Lakeland fells, but more than compensates for this with some technical terrain with complex contours, crags and areas of featureless moorland. Indeed the 2012 British Orienteering Championships used some of this area to test some of the best navigators in the country. Excellent navigation, careful use of the terrain features and a cautious approach are likely to be a rewarding strategy for competitors, reckons Shane.
Planning the courses has proved tricky, he explains.
'We work to a set winning time, rather than a set distance for each course. However, compensating for the added difficulty of running and navigating at night has proven difficult, as the differences between people's ability to navigate accurately and run with confidence seem to be magnified by the darkness.'
'The organising team have carried out a significant amount of testing themselves and had experienced mountain marathon competitors who are independent of the planning team run the courses to check our assumptions.'
Despite the careful planning process, differences in the weather conditions have resulted in very different experiences for the test team.
Ohly continues: 'Obviously, it is also impossible to account for the variations in the weather; a clear moonlit night produces a completely different winning time to a foggy wet night. As such, we have erred on the side of caution when determining the length and climb for each course... it is meant to be fun after all!'
The planner's optimum distance and height gain for each course have been confirmed as:
There is also a score class with a time limit of 8 hours.
There are still a few entries available on all the courses and despite the lure of a £500 cash prize for the elite winners, the competition remains wide open, says Shane Ohly, with just two entries so far.
In this short video Shane gets out into the clag to offer his thoughts on footwear, altimeters and of course food for the event:
Marmot Dark Mountains takes place Saturday 26th January. Entry is £90 for a team of two.

I remember the day they came for runner's high. Runner's high, the Times story said, was an illusion. There was no rush of endorphins, no psychedelic reward for all the hard work. Runner's high was the dopamine rush that comes when the brain checks off a burning need or want. It's the satisfaction of getting a fix. There was nothing redemptive about the same amoral mechanism that kept addicts feeling something even after their tolerance takes away any actual buzz. It was, the article proclaimed, no better than shopping.
We all have our own reasons for making ill-advised or unnecessary purchases. These stories are as varied as anyone's path to NA or overly long explanation of how one learned to run half-marathons. I think it's safe to say, though, to anyone who buys shit for reasons other than need—who are subject to poor judgment, credit cards and fucked up rationalizations about quality of life—shopping is a vice. It's not always a problem. But like popping pills on the weekend, it's not long before it's a Thursday thing, then a before work thing. Shopping is that kind of goon.
At some point last month, you probably resolved to cut down on fancy expenditures. This probably had something to do with New Year's, which itself has more to do with Christmastime than turning over a new page on the calendar. In December, we're some combination of mopey, anxious, traveling under the worst conditions possible, surrounded by family, caught on a pendulum ride between mildly drunk and slightly hung over, vitamin D-deprived and cash poor from buying up gifts for everyone in sight. (Being Jewish, I get a pass on that one.) We panic, resolve to be better, then quickly discard the idea when we get back to good enough.
We vow to spend smarter and then, like that, everything's on sale. The devil's calling at a discount—get back into the swing of things, remind yourself of what it's like to splurge on account of nothing or spend days turning a purchase over in your head, then cop. Then the sale's over, and, hey, you're right back where you started. New Year's resolutions about shopping are as doomed to fail as those about weight and diet are set up for success. The holiday parties and boozy workdays come to an end, easing us back into normalcy. Shopping plays the opposite trick on us.
There's something that feels great about copping. There's a reason we use the same word for sneakers as we do heroin.
As a culture, we're really uncomfortable talking about amounts of money. It's practically taboo. But almost as forbidden are discussions of money issues that go beyond what everyone should do. NPR's Marketplace taunts me every day with tips about making a budget, managing debt and preparing for retirement. Maybe it's depressing to confront what we actually do and why, or defeatist label it acceptable. But I really don't know what else to do with retail, especially when it comes to having relatively expensive taste. By most measures, I don't even register on the shopping alert scale. The fact remains, though, that I assume a new pair of shoes will cost me $300, a shirt, even on sale, tops $100 and in my other faint hobby, records, it's nothing to spend $30 on something I'm moderately interest in owning. I'm not claiming to be particularly accomplished in clothes or vinyl—quite the contrary, actually. But, unfortunately, that's the mindset I've fallen into. That's the shopping dybbuk I've got inside of me. That's the force I've got to beat, or make my peace with.
What we never get is a real look at the point-of-purchase relationship we have with money, which is where shopping really lives. It's what makes these irrational or excessive purchases possible. It's why I can find myself browsing in a way that—not to get too Catholic about it—does nearly as much psychic damage as pulling the trigger. There's something that feels great about copping. There's a reason we use the same word for sneakers as we do heroin.
Again, some people are satisfied with running. I want denim. I don't think any amount of handwringing will change this.
When I want something, I want it like running. I obsess over it. I try and get friends to talk me out of it or into it. I convince myself that life will get immeasurably better or worse if I buy it. Since I have a family, debt and other people around me who want nice things for themselves, this is all kinds of fucked up and borders on disorder. But I have trouble believing that anyone with even a passing interest in clothes (or any kind of collecting, which is what clothes are) doesn't learn to want in this particular way. The Bible called it coveting. I like to think it's knowing you're totally right about a matter of taste. I know there are people who excel at taste for taste's sake, or curation in the muddled, Tumblr sense of the word. I just can't imagine it for myself. There's a difference between being able to point to a thing and being able to incorporate it into your life. Knowing you've got the latter coming is the emotional payoff of shopping. You've broken down that wall between consumer and consumed. It's your plaything now.
Here's where our stories diverge. I am not the target readership of Four Pins. I'm approaching middle age and exude broke down dadness. I get my knowledge in dribs and drabs, like a man living in the Amazon with a busted ham radio who thinks there's still a war going on between America and Japan. There is nothing pure or reputable about me. In fact, you could say that my entire shopping jones is dedicated to upholding a lie or an illusion that matters only to me. But, even if the stories aren't the same, the moral never changes. Shopping is a way of proving something to oneself by—ahem—making oneself a better, more complete person through retail. New Year's resolutions have nothing on that charge.
If I stopped right here, I could look in the mirror ashamed and embark on a new, more responsible life. But really, is materialism emptier when there's too much or too little riding on it? I'd argue that anyone, for whom shopping is an existential problem, should at least embrace his or her tormented relationship with retail. It's an affirmation that these things matter to you, that they're part of who you are. I guess folks who define themselves solely according to wholesome things like family, friends and faith should make me want to bury my head in shame, but I can live with the idea that shopping doesn't reflect misshapen money priorities. No, it reveals that some things in life are, well, irresponsible goals and objects. And we just have to live with that if these things make us happy.
For better or worse, we're staking some sense of who we are, or who we want to be, on spending. I don't want to stop making bad, irrational decisions just because they're bad and irrational. I also don't want to be making them for this reason alone. Getting what we want completes us. Again, some people are satisfied with running. I want denim. I don't think any amount of handwringing will change this. Plenty of New Year's resolutions involve pretending to be someone you're not—to have deep-seated values or principles that just don't crop up overnight. All I can do is understand how perfectly ridiculous I am, own up to it and make sure I know exactly what I'm getting into the next time I need my fix. Or maybe I could just take up running.

Ding, Ding! CSULAs real Pinball Wizards garner first place
AeroDef challenges students in technology, manufacturing engineering skills
Proving that real Pinball Wizards do more than just drop a quarter and finesse the flippers, a team of nine technology and engineering students from Cal State L.A. recently won first place for its Golden Eagle Pinball Machine in the University Division of the 2011 AeroDef Manufacturing Exhibition and Conference Manufacturing Challenge, which took place April 5 at the Anaheim Convention Center.
The CSULA crew constructed a champion pinball machinewith spinners, switches, targets, flippers, kickers and bumpersout of a combination of materials, such as woods, plastics, composites and various metals.
All components were modeled using high-end 3D parametric design software and then machined using manual and computer numerical-control methods. A series of electronic controllers for the lighting and scoring systems were also utilized in developing the pinball machine.
Beating out 11 other colleges and universities with their innovative concept, engineering skills and problem-solving abilities, CSULAs AeroDef team members included industrial technology majors Vanessa Arana, Blake Cortis, Hernan Garcia, Mark Hirami, Steve Jimenez, Paul Katsumura, Jose Padilla and Sandra Schreiner, along with mechanical engineering major John Morris and technical staff member Chris Reid.
Participating in the AeroDef manufacturing competition allowed me the opportunity to use many of the tools I have learned in class and apply them to our project, said Garcia. Thanks to everyones hard work and dedication, our Golden Eagle Pinball [Machine] was awarded first prize in the competition. Being a part of this project was a great learning experience that I am sure will help me in future school projects and later in a working environment.
According to faculty adviser Jai Hong, associate professor of industrial technology at CSULA, The students faced real-life challenges during the projectfrom maintaining a budget, meeting deadlines and time constraints, to tackling mechanical and electrical problems. Much like in private industry, each team member had a distinct role in the project.
For the competition, each part and process was thoroughly documented, tested, and reviewed for quality assurance. The pinball machine was developed to showcase its practical, lean manufacturing design, and its business model.
Schreiner noted, I believe it is important to put into practice the knowledge we gain through education sooner rather than later. The real world expectations of product to customer deadlines can be better understood through manufacturing competition requirements and experiences. I am proud to have been a part of CSULAs first place AeroDef team.
Professor Hong remarked, To transform an outdated machine to something new and attractive, the team building the custom pinball machine applied vintage, mechanical and high-tech electrical systems that made it stand out from the rest. Congratulations to our students for their achievement!
AeroDef Manufacturing Exhibition and Conferencean exciting hands-on competition to engage future generations in technology and manufacturingis a new Society of Manufacturing Engineers event providing manufacturing solutions for the unique needs of aerospace and defense manufactures. The conference also provides an opportunity for aerospace manufacturers to meet with manufacturing technology and process providers featuring innovative solutions to their industry challenges. The Manufacturing Challenge is a stimulating day for collegiate-level engineering and technology students to demonstrate the importance of connection between classroom lectures/labs and industrial applications.

Made this for my husband's 70th birthday dinner last night, it was wonderful! just added some diced swede (as thats one of his fav.veggies) pre-boiled and added to the potato mixture, the result was great, lovely moist tasty Guinea fowl, some left over for tomorrow as well. I served it with his other fav. veggies sprouts and leeks, good bottle of red to go with it, good time was had by all!

John Zorn: O'o
The fundamental elements include the "jungle sounds" of Martin Denny, a tropical midnight soundscape of birdcalls and insect percussion, coupled with lushly resonant instrumentation. There's lounge a-plenty, but it covers terrain from surf guitar instrumentals to the Latin jazz of Cal Tjader and Vince Guaraldi to some sudden soulful piano that might recall Horace Silver or Sonny Clark. The clarity of Zorn's musical vision combines with the recovered elements to create sometimes startling emotional connections (that the CD is named for an extinct song bird is telling as is the booklet of bird drawings), as in the profoundly beautiful opening of "Akialoa," with its suggestion of John Coltrane modality and Morricone soundscape. The individual performances are at a consistently high level, but it would be impossible not to single out Ribot for his uncanny range of guitar timbres, remarkable not simply for their variety but their intensity and unfailing aptness.
While The Dreamers might have seemed like a brilliantly executed one-off, O'o testifies not just to Zorn's absorption in the new style, but to the band's commitment as well. You might go some distance to find contemporary music with more precisely meaningful detail or dedication to nuance.
Track Listing: Miller's Crake; Akialoa; Po'o'uli ; Little Bittern; Mysterious Starling; Laughing Owl; Archaeopteryx; Solitaire; Piopio; The Zapata Rail; Kakawahie; Magdalena.
Personnel: Cyro Baptista: percussion; Joey Baron: drums; Trevor Dunn: bass; Marc Ribot: guitar; Jamie Saft: piano, organ; Kenny Wollesen: vibraphone.

City to sell Omaha Civic AuditoriumUPDATED 6:22 PM CST Feb 19, 2014
After 60 years of ownership, the city said it's done conducting studies on the old Civic Auditorium at 17th and Capital streets, and it's time to sell.Video Transcript
NOW.. BACK HERE IN OMAHA.. NEWS ABOUT THE OLD CIVIC AUDITORIUM. ONCE THE PROUD HOME FOR SPORTS AND CONCERTS IN OMAHA.. ELVIS AND THE STONES PERFORMED THERE .. BUT NOW.. THE HISTORIC ARENA IS UP FOR SALE.. WITH DETAILS ON THE SALE.. AND JUST WHAT THE CITY WANTS FROM POTENTIAL DEVELOPERS.. K-E-T-V NEWSWATCH 7'S MELISSA FRY JOINS US LIVE NEAR 16th AND CAPITOL.. MECA TELLS ME IT HAS TO HAND OVER THE KEYS ON JUNE 30TH - AND BY THE END OF THE SUMMER - THE CITY WANTS TO HAVE A NEW OWNER LINED UP. AND WITH THIS LAND FOR SALE BY OWNER ...THE CITY COULD MAKE MORE THAN TEN MILLION OFF THE áSALE ALONE. FADE THE MUSIC...AND CLEAR THE STAGE. THERE ARE FEWER THAN 30 EVENTS LEFT ON THE CIVIC AUDITORIUM'S SCHEDULE... THAT'S HARD FOR SOME TO IMAGINE.( Nate Barges: went to ringly brothers there for years, creighton basketball games, monster truck in the big foot days)( Cindy Smith: we went to concerts there as a teenager it was great.) AFTER SIXTY YEARS OF OWNERSHIP - THE CITY SAYS ITS DONE CONDUCTING áSTUDIES ON THIS SITE...IT'S TIME TO SELL.( Mayor Jean Stothert: if we were going to repair it and get it back up to code it would be about a 29 million dollar project) MAYOR JEAN STOTHERT SAYS RIGHT NOW THE CITY SPENDS 300 - THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR JUST TO RUN THE CIVIC... AND MOST OF THE TIME...IT SITS EMPTY.( Mayor Stothert: its approx 9 acres, four blocks square, easy access to interstate, its really good for business and mixed use.) A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL CALLS FOR THE PURCHASE OF THE LAND, DEMOLISHING THE CIVIC, DESIGNING AND CONSTRUCTING SOMETHING NEW. A DEVELOPER COULD GET áSOME ASSISTANCE LIKE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING...BUT ABSOLUTELY CAN'T DELAY THE PROJECT.( Mayor Stothert: they must have certain things done by a certain time, must have finances in order, so we know those we have given proposal to are going to develop the area, if not, then that land would go back into ownership of the city.) A FRESH START...WITH A DIFFERENT FEEL FOR DOWNTOWN.( Cindy Smith: i think its a great opportunity i think they need to wipe it out and start fresh.) YES, THERE WILL BE HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATIONS THIS SPRING. AND FOR PERFORMERS WHO USE THE MUSIC HALL - MAYOR STOTHERT HOPES TO ANNOUNCE SOMETHING SOON...THEY áARE WORKING ON FINDING A DIFFERENT VENUE. BUT AS FAR AS WE KNOW THE OPERATOR - MECA - HANDS OVER THE KEYS JUNE 30TH... YES - AND IF THE CITY DOESN'T FIND A DEVELOPER RIGHT AWAY, THE CIVIC COULD BOOK MORE EVENTS. BUT THE MAYOR WANTS A BUYER BY THE END OF AUGUST...AND WORK TO START IN THE SUMMER OF 2015. MELISSA FRY REPORTING LIVE,

Forward Mid Directory 2016
Welcome to the 2016 edition of Forward Mid's Directory for Disabled People.
There is an old adage that says 'Information is power.'
This is certainly true for disabled people. Without correct, relevant and up to date information disabled people can become isolated, unable to exercise their rights, receive the support they need and make their own choices on how they want to live.
I know from personal experience the helplessness and frustration I felt when I suddenly became disabled 10 years ago. Who could help me with the mysteries of the benefits system? Who could I contact for help and support? Who could help me live an ordinarily life? Where can I get this information?
The purpose of the Forward Mid directory is to help disabled people, their families or carers find practical, useful information which could improve their lives. To find answers to the same questions I had 10 years ago as well as solutions to the everyday problems which still seem part of the territory for disabled people.
This is by no means an exhaustive list of contacts that have all the answers but I'm sure that if the group or organisation you contact can't help you then they will know someone who can.
I sincerely hope you find this directory useful.

Brewery wins Gold
ATHENS, Oct 14, 2013 (Menafn – Athens Daily Review – McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) –SEVEN POINTS — Cedar Creek Brewery claimed a gold medal at the 2013 Great American Beer Festival (GABF) competition.
Presented by the Brewers Association, GABF is the largest national beer competition that recognizes the most outstanding beers produced in the U.S. The top three winners in the competition's 84 beer-style categories were announced Oct. 12 at the Great American Beer Festival awards ceremony held at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, Colo.
Cedar Creek Brewery from Seven Points was recognized in the Belgian-Style Abbey Ale beer-style category for its Belgian Style Dubbel. The aroma is complex with a rich-malty sweetness upfront that blends into a caramel / Belgian candi-sugar sweetness. There are also hints of dark fruits (raisins, plums and a hint of cherries).
The appearance is dark amber to copper and has a reddish hue to it. Flavor is similar to aroma, but with more complexity.
Cedar Creek Brewery, located in Seven Points, specializes in session beers, and has created a fun and relaxing place to enjoy a pint of great American brews.
"I couldn't more excited about our accomplishments. A small brewery in East Texas is making heads turn across America," said Jim Elliott, owner at Cedar Creek Brewery.
The local brewery is located on State Highway 334 in Seven Points, and gives tours each Saturday from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
The 2013 GABF competition winners were selected by an international panel of 201 expert judges from the record number of 4,809 entries received from 745 U.S. breweries.
"The Great American Beer Festival brings together the most stellar brewers from around the country," said Chris Swersey, competition director. "Taking home a medal at this premier beer competition is truly a symbol of brewing excellence."

CSR – Central serous retinopathy
Central serous retinopathy (CSR) is an eye disorder that is found most commonly in young men, 20 to 50 years of age.
CSR Symptoms
Symptoms of CSR usually include a rather sudden onset of blurred vision in one eye, minification of images, reduced color vision, or a central "blind spot" in the involved eye.
Central serous retinopathy causes
The exact cause of the condition is unknown, but the disorder is characterized by "leakage" of fluid in the central macula (see illustration). Patients with CSR, also called central serous choroidopathy (CSCR), generally have vision in the 20/20 to 20/100 range and a serous (clear fluid) retinal detachment may be discovered by the examining ophthalmologist. A fluorescein angiogram may be used to confirm the diagnosis. Type A personalities and systemic hypertension may be associated with CSR.
Patients diagnosed with CSR generally have a good prognosis for recovery of vision, though the condition may take six months or more to resolve. Recurrence of leakage is quite common.
Treatment for central serous retinopathy
MicroPulse is a new laser technology that can safely and effectively treat patients with retinal disorders such as diabetic macular edema, diabetic retinopathy and central serous retinopathy.
Retinal laser treatment has been around for decades. Conventional laser treatment is often effective but can result in tissue burns and permanent and sometimes progressive scarring that can cause vision loss. What sets MicroPulse technology apart is that it reduces or eliminates treatment risk with less patient discomfort, and therefore can be repeated as needed without harm to the patient's vision.
The new MicroPulse laser technology works by segmenting the laser emissions into spaced, repetitive "micropulses". This allows for finer surgeon control and lower energy output — greatly reducing heat-damaging effects on the retinal tissue. This lower energy, fragmented approach creates superior outcomes.
Conventional laser treatment
Laser photocoagulation (treatment) to the retina may speed recovery of vision, but does not always result in better final visual acuity. Laser photocoagulation itself has some small risks, which require careful consideration.
Most patients are followed every two to three months until the condition spontaneously improves. If significant visual loss persists beyond 4-6 months, laser treatment may again be considered.

Album version
I get up in the evening and I ain't got nothing to say
I come home in the morning, I go to bed feelin' the same way
I ain't nothing but tired, man I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help
You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
Message just keep getting clearer, radio's on and I'm moving 'round my place*
I check my look in the mirror, I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man, I ain't getting nowhere, I'm just living in a dump like this
There's something happening somewhere, baby I just know that there is
You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
You sit around getting older, there's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
I'll shake this world off my shoulders, come on baby this laugh's on me
Stay on the streets of this town and they'll be carving you up alright
They say you gotta stay hungry, hey baby, I'm just about starving tonight
I'm dying for some action, I'm sick of sitting 'round here tryin' to write this book
I need a love reaction, come on now baby gimme just one look
You can't start a fire sitting 'round cryin' over a broken heart
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
You can't start a fire worryin' about your little world fallin' apart
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Hey baby!
A big hit and the first single from the Born In The U.S.A. album.
The Born In The U.S.A. recording sessions took place between early 1982 and March 1984 at both The Hit Factory and The Power Station studios, New York City, NY (but I have no information in which the album version of DANCING IN THE DARK was recorded). The album was in the mixing stage in March 1984, and it was the time to select which tracks will make it on the record among the 70 songs cut during those sessions. Bruce finally felt he had the records together, but co-producer and manager Jon Landau didn't.
One afternoon in March 1984, in Springsteen's room at the Lyden House in New York City, Landau presents an argument that what the album needs is one more song; a first single, one that sums up Bruce's current state of mind. As Dave Marsh writes in his book Glory Days, "Springsteen balked, then exploded. 'Look,' he snarled, 'I've written 70 songs. If you want another one, you write it.'"
The argument proved to be just the spark Springsteen needed to light his creative fire. He picks up an acoustic guitar and begins writing DANCING IN THE DARK - just the kind of song Landau was looking for. The song is about the isolation Bruce felt after The River's success and about his frustration trying to write a hit single ("I'm sick of sitting 'round here tryin' to write this book"). Ironically, it did become a hit single.
Bruce Springsteen speaking about DANCING IN THE DARK in 1987: "It was just like my heart spoke straight through my mouth, without even having to pass through my brain."
Springsteen recorded the song in late March. Bruce and the E Street Band experimented with different instrumental arrangements before coming up with the synthesizer-led arrangement that made the album, with Clarence Clemmons' sax solo (dubbed later in the mixing) fading at the end of the song. Weinberg later tells Graig Rosen that the band "recorded a real Rock 'N' Roll version of it. I remember sitting down at the drums after getting three or four takes of the rock version, and Jon Landau came over to me and whispered in my ear, 'Dance record'."
The song is a dark and angry cry, but due to its catchy beat, the somewhat depressing lyrics were lost on most listeners; BORN IN THE U.S.A. had the same thing happen. Bruce noted in his book Songs, "I went as far in the direction of pop music as I wanted to go -- and probably a little farther."
Between May 1982 and Jun 1984, Bruce Springsteen frequently jammed with Cats On A Smooth Surface at the Stone Pony, Asbury Park, NJ. In early 1984, Patti Scialfa occasionally sang with Cats On A Smooth Surface, the Stone Pony house band, and it was during one of these gigs that she met Bruce Springsteen. "I met Bruce there," she told Backstreets magazine. "I was doing a lot of Motown stuff and all. I just sort of bumped into him. He asked me to sing on his record." She would add background vocals on an unused version of DANCING IN THE DARK. Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band rehearsed for the upcoming tour on 24 and 25 Jun 1984 at 129 Monmouth Street, Red Bank, NJ. On the 24th, Patti Scialfa is invited to the rehearsal and given a tryout as Bruce's support vocalist. On the 25th, Bruce informed her that she is now an official member of the E Street Band, and that she would hit the road with them.
DANCING IN THE DARK was the last song written and recorded for the album, but it was not the last one to be included. The LP was turned into Columbia in late March, and then a new track, NO SURRENDER, was added due to a comment by Steve Van Zandt who had left the E Street Band at that time, but was still a close friend and confident. Van Zandt said, "This is a big mistake... If you're gonna throw something out, throw out DANCING IN THE DARK and NO SURRENDER should be the first single."
Annie Leibovitz spent a day in April photographing the E Street band; she shot Bruce that night in the basement of his house in Rumson, NJ, as he dances alone to the new DANCING IN THE DARK. A shot from this night will be used as the single's picture sleeve. Note that Leibovitz is the one behind the Born In The U.S.A. album cover, the Tunnel Of Love album cover, and the sleeve photos on Springsteen's Songs book. The Born In The U.S.A. album cover became one of the most famous icons in Rock 'N' Roll or Pop culture. She also photographed Springsteen at Cadillac Ranch in 1979 in Amarillo, TX, and has had her work appear on some of his other singles.
On 07 May 1984, the WNEW radio station in New York played the song until it was stopped by a telegram from the record company asking them to stop playing it. The same thing happened the next day across the country. On 09 May 1984, the DANCING IN THE DARK / PINK CADILLAC single was released, about a month before the album official release.
Arthur Baker remixed DANCING IN THE DARK at The Power Station, New York City, NY. He told the Los Angeles Times, "When I first heard 'Dancing' I thought it was a great song, but I thought something was missing in the record. I thought it was real one-dimensional -- very straight, especially the bass line. I tried to give the record more dimension. I wanted to make it more like Bruce's old stuff -- what I remember 'Born to Run' was like -- with the fuller sound and the bells." Baker deconstructed the song, the rhythm tracks with synthesized drums and new bass lines, adding female backing vocals, chimes, and reverb in his remixes for DANCING IN THE DARK (Blaster Mix), COVER ME (Undercover Mix), and BORN IN THE U.S.A. (Freedom Mix). There were also dub and radio versions of each, along with two dub mixes for COVER ME. The Dancing In The Dark remix 12-inch was released on 29 Jun 1984, the same day of the opening show on the Born In The U.S.A. tour. That was Bruce's first-ever dance remix.
The song was played live for the first time on 26 May 1984 at the Xanadu club in Asbury Park, NJ, when Bruce played with the band Bystander. On the same day, the song entered the Top 40 in charts, and stayed there about four months. It peaks at #2 on the Billboard Top 100 and #4 in the UK. It was initially Duran Duran's THE REFLEX and then for many weeks Prince's WHEN DOVES CRY that kept the song from topping the US charts. In the liner notes for Greatest Hits, Springsteen refers to it as "My big smash! No. 2 of the charts (damn the artist formerly known as Prince)."
The song was also performed on 08 Jun 1984 at the Stone Pony, Asbury Park, NJ, during a warm-up gig for the Born In The U.S.A. tour. That gig was the first for Nils Lofgren with the E Street Band. Again performed during another warm-up gig for the tour, on 21 Jun 1984 at The Village, Lancaster, PA.
On 28 Jun 1984, the eve of the Born In The U.S.A. tour, the song was performed in front of an audience of 200 people at St. Paul Civic Center Arena in Saint Paul, MN, for the shooting of the DANCING IN THE DARK video. The actress Courteney Cox-Arquette, not famous back then, was chosen (among 300 women) by director Brian De Palma to be the girl Bruce pulls from the audience to dance with on stage, a ritual Bruce would continue through the tour. It was reported that Cox-Arquette was paid $350 for the clip. She landed a role on the sitcom Family Ties soon after. In 1994, she hosted Saturday Night Live (and danced with Adam Sandler on his hilarious cover of DANCING IN THE DARK) and said, "Ten years ago, someone gave me my first break by putting me on a music video." "It was scary," she told NBC's Dateline in 2004. She added, "I just imitated what (Springsteen) did. Whatever he did, I followed."
The following night, the opening night of the tour (29 Jun 1984), and at the same venue, the song was performed two consecutive times during the show, again for the video shooting. The video was later included on The Complete Video Anthology / 1978-2000 DVD. The video was Springsteen's first to get heavy airplay on MTV, introducing him to a new, mostly younger audience. In the liner notes for Greatest Hits, Springsteen recalls "A bunch of autographs seeking Catholic school girls came rushing up to me on the streets of N.Y.C. screaming they'd seen the video. Teen idol status at 35!? I enjoyed it."
DANCING IN THE DARK was performed each night during the tour and, and every time Bruce picks a girl from the audience and dances with her onstage during the song. Check out the live 26 Jul 1984 version and the live 21 Jun 1985 version. On 22 Oct 1984 at the Coliseum, Oakland, CA, Bruce picked his sister to dance with. On 01 Jun 1985 at Slane Castle, Dublin, Ireland, Bruce had to dance with Patti Scialfa as it was too dangerous to excite the drunk crowd at the front rows. One fan recalls, "...a constant stream of humanity restlessly pushing back and forth with great disregard of the rest of the audience. Sparkling white t-shirts got covered with foot prints, dozens of young girls were passed back through the throng, and shoes, voices, friends, and tempers were lost."
DANCING IN THE DARK gave Springsteen's first Grammy Award, when it was elected Best Rock Male Vocal Performance on 26 Feb 1985. Bruce didn't attend the ceremony because he participated in the recording of WE ARE THE WORLD for the benefit album USA For Africa: We Are The World. On 28 Jan 1985, DANCING IN THE DARK won Best Pop/Rock Single during the American Music Awards, and it was voted Single Of The Year in the 1985 Rolling Stone reader's poll.
Played acoustic on 13 Oct 1986 at the Shoreline Amphitheatre, Mountain View, CA, during The Bridge School benefit show. Performed during each of the Tunnel Of Love tour shows, except on 06 May 1988 at the Tacoma Dome, Seattle, CA, and 3 more consecutive times at 19, 22, and 23 May 1988 at Madison Square Gardens, New York City, NY. Check out the live 10 May 1988 version. On 03 May 1988 at the Shoreline Amphitheatre, Mountain View, CA, Bruce dances with his mother on DANCING IN THE DARK.
Played on 13 Jun 1988 at the Piaza Di Spagna, Rome, Italy, when Bruce played with street musicians, on a borrowed guitar, in front of 15 people. He also played it on 23 Jul 1988 in Copenhagen, Denmark, with street musician John Magnusson on acoustic guitar. Part of the latter performance was shown on Danish TV.
The song was played 9 times during the Human Rights Now! tour. Check out the live 15 Oct 1988 version. At the 15 Sep 1988 show Maple Leaf Gardens, Toronto, Canada, Bruce picks a male dance partner from the crowd.
The song was played again on 05 Jun 1992 at the Hollywood Sound Stage, Los Angeles, CA, during a rehearsal concert for the Human Touch tour, and later later played 15 times during the tour, 14 of them between Jun and Aug 1992 and the last one on 08 Apr 1993 at Hallenstadion, Zurich, Switzerland. Check out the live 10 Jul 1992 version.
In 1995, the song was included on the Greatest Hits collection.
Played only twice during The Reunion tour:
Note that the song was reported to have been sound-checked during that tour on:
Heavily played during The Rising tour, scoring 113 times. DANCING IN THE DARK made its tour debut on 21 Aug 2002 at Tacoma Dome, Tacoma, WA, in a full band arrangement, the first since the end of the Human Rights Now! tour on 15 Oct 1988 at River Plate Stadium, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Instead of going heavy on keyboards, though, Bruce went with a guitar-driven arrangement and the song just cooked, becoming a highlight of the entire tour. Check out the live 14 Jun 2003 version.
The first half of the 16 Oct 2002 show at Palau Sant Jordi, Barcelona, Spain, from THE RISING till DANCING IN THE DARK, was broadcasted on MTV Europe and VH1-UK to most of Europe. Video for three of the broadcasted songs was included on The Rising: Tour Edition bonus DVD in 2003 (Released in Australia and Europe with identical catalogue number, COL 508000 3). The complete show was later released on Live In Barcelona DVD in 2003. Check out the live 16 Oct 2002 version.
On the last two shows of The Rising tour, 03 and 04 Oct 2003 at the Shea Stadium, New York City, NY, Jon Landau and Willie Nile shared the stage and played guitar with Bruce during DANCING IN THE DARK. Check out the live 04 Oct 2003 version.
Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band played a surprisingly long off-tour set on 29 Aug 2002 at The Rose Center For Earth And Space at The Planetarium of The American Museum Of Natural History, New York City, NY, during a live broadcast for that year's MTV Video Music Awards (VMA) ceremony. Introduced by James Gandolfini, Bruce and the Band opened that year's MTV Video Music Awards (VMA) ceremony with a live performance of THE RISING. Bruce's VMA opening was broadcast from the Rose Center For Earth and Space, then the MTV cameras took the proceedings to Radio City Music Hall, but fans who endured the rain at The Planetarium were treated with 9 additional song (including DANCING IN THE DARK). See the live 29 Aug 2002 version.
The song was included on The Essential Bruce Springsteen collection in 2003.
DANCING IN THE DARK was performed on 30 Jun 2005 at Keflavik International Airport in Keflavik, Iceland. On his way from Germany back to the US in the midst the Devils & Dust Solo Acoustic Tour, Springsteen's private plane stopped for refueling at Keflavik International Airport in the early hours of 30 Jun 2005. Having never set foot in the country, Springsteen just grabbed his guitar and walked into the small terminal and played a six-song set for the lucky late-shift workers at the airport. According to the Iceland Review, "The employees commented that Springsteen showed no pretense and was very down-to-earth, chatting away with them. His friend asked the airport employees if they would like to listen to a few tunes."
DANCING IN THE DARK was sound-checked during the Devils & Dust Solo Acoustic Tour on 16 Jul 2005 at Pepsi Arena in Albany, NY, but was never played on the tour's regular shows.
DANCING IN THE DARK was played on 29 Apr 2007 at The Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ, backed by Bobby Bandiera and his band, during the second annual private fundraiser for the Ranny School of Tinton Falls, NJ. The song was also played during the Magic Tour.
* On the album booklet "Message keeps getting clearer, radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place", but Bruce sings "Message just keep getting clearer, radio's on and I'm moving 'round my place."
DANCING IN THE DARK has been widely covered by several artists through the years, including:
Mary Chapin Carpenter did a folk, very low-key version of DANCING IN THE DARK. She described it in a live performance in Madison, WI as "a bummer song by someone else." Big Daddy's cover was a hit in 1985, reaching #13 on the Billboard Top 100. Bob Dylan has never covered a Bruce Springsteen composition, except once, when he performed DANCING IN THE DARK in a concert of his in 1990.
