Skip to comments.Utah City to Allow Bikinis After Short-Lived Ban
Posted on 06/12/2008 10:21:28 PM PDT by Westlander
A ban on bikinis at the city pool is expected to be revised, ending a short-lived prohibition on the popular two-piece pool attire.
The restrictions were not popular, even in the community where the council passed a resolution in 2006 to favor the "natural family" consisting of a working husband, a stay-at-home wife and a "full quiver of children."
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
and well we should
hell, I bet her feet are purdy too
Uhh, that ain't a bikini.
Close enough.
Early bikinis were extremely effective, in that they provided yet another essential purpose for animal skins and so brought meaning to the lives of otherwise unhappy creatures..
Indeed. That is one of the finest-worn bikinis I've seen in quite a while.
Note however, that bikinis require occasional adjustment...
And Thank God!! Alleluia! Alleluia!! Praise be him for making such incredible(and fine looking)creations.
As a demonstration of the mathematical principle that "LESS IS MORE", we also can see that the string bikini has very little to recommend it as a shield against the sun... so we hope that these girls have good sense.
I could not agree more. In that spirit, another bikini.
See post#9. Whaddya think?
And it looks a bit "chilly..."
Bikinis played a crucial role in America's Civil War, as brave soldiers from both sides worked tirelessly and in astonishingly innovative ways to win the day. Here is a photo of a covert Confederate soldier, taken immediately after a sea insertion onto a Northern beachhead, where she is engaged in an 'information gathering and morale assessment' mission.
I dunno, looks to me like that "insertion" had the effect of making that soldier take a leak.
Establishing a beachhead might require reconnoitering for a while...
Ain't right...just ain't right
There's always one who pisses in the punchbowl. While your at it, throw in a couple of Helen Thomas bikini pic's too huh?
Funny it is all relative. The one on the far right is the "skinny" one. LOL
OMG!! Two bikini threads in one day! Can't focussss anymooore, mind is blurring...
Who does that!? I never heard of such a disgusting thing. Have you seen it? Maybe it is just a saying but for it to be a saying it must have happened. People just don't make up stuff like that.
WOW! Is that the Swedish Bikini Team all at once?
> Who does that!? I never heard of such a disgusting thing. Have you seen it? Maybe it is just a saying but for it to be a saying it must have happened. People just don't make up stuff like that.
I had a co-worker years ago who had an expression for something not being received well or being unpopular, sort of like "that'll go over like a lead balloon". It was: "That'll go over like a turd in the punchbowl."
Most of us (guys, natch) thought it was hilarious, but he said it one time in a meeting and one of the women workers was so grossed out (she must've been very good at mental visualization) that she had to leave the room and toss.
It is unknown to me whether this fellow had actual experience with turds in punchbowls, but knowing him, it's not out of the question.
I personally find pissing in the punchbowl grosser, because you wouldn't necessarily be able to tell just by looking. Whereas with a turd, it's immediately obviously that something just ain't right about that punch.
There is another saying: Way too much information. Yuk!

Krista - I would say that you need to be sure to get this baby to you asap after your c-section. I'm guessing your husband will be there with you in the surgery? Have him stay with the baby and keep insisting that the baby be brought to you asap for nursing. I was able to get my baby to me within 10 mins of being in recovery by having a persistant husband.
Also, be sure that you focus on this baby and how this baby is nursing as opposed to "reliving" past issues and troubles that you had with your first baby, kwim? It's really easy to be worried b/c you had problems before. So, try to focus on the positive... as easy as that is to say but harder to live out.
Also, I think getting to a meeting like you are planning on doing is a good idea. That way, you can be sure to have your leader's phone number with you at the hospital, so that if there are some issues, you can have your leader come to the hospital asap to work with you. You might even want to have her come there regardless, just to help settle your nerves on the whole thing....
Good luck to you!

8 of 10 protesters plead no contest
Eight of the 10 people arrested during a February fracking protest pleaded no contest Tuesday in Marietta Municipal Court.
They were accused of storming onto the property of GreenHunter Water, located along Ohio 7 on the Ohio River on Feb. 19. The facility acts as a storage site for the waste material produced by hydraulic fracturing.
The eight people pleading Tuesday were charged with a fourth-degree misdemeanor count of criminal trespass and were fined $250 and sentenced to 30 days in jail with credit for one day served and the other 29 suspended in lieu of a year's probation, said Marietta Municipal Court clerk Christy Gerken.
They were also ordered to pay $2,383 in restitution to GreenHunter, which will be split between the eight of them, said Gerken.
Pleading Tuesday were:
Peter Garcia, 34, of Minot, N.D.; Matthew Almonte, 21, of Lithia, Fla.; Subina Ahmed, 22, of Santa Rosa, Calif.; Wendy Jennings, 34, of Minneapolis, Minn.; Jessica Clark, 22, of Kalamazoo, Mich.; Steven Schorzman, 25, of Hamilton, Mont.; Patrick Perry, 21, of Athens; and Seth Schlotterbeck, 29, of Athens.
Two others have pleaded not guilty to the charges. Alexandra Kotcheff, 26, of Beverly Hills, Calif., is set for a pre-trial on Monday.
No hearings have been scheduled yet for Nathan Ebert, 33, of Millfield, who was charged with a second-degree misdemeanor charge of resisting arrest in addition to the criminal trespassing charge.
Ebert is accused of erecting and climbing a 30-foot pole on the property and refusing to come down for nearly five hours.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by VJS Fabulous Dress This is a lovely dress, nice soft fabric, hangs perfectly and is oh so comfortable. I liked it so well I bought two more. Lots of compliments when I wear it. Not clingy hides a lot of body flaws. I feel really good when I wear it. True sizing. July 15, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Journey Writer Comfy as a Nightie! I was afraid this wouldn't fit in the size I ordered (L) based on the chart, but when I tried it on today upon its arrival, there was room for comfort. The sleeves are snug, as noted, but not binding. It's a light material I can wear any time. It falls below the knees so I can wear my compression knee-highs. It looks good with shoes or booties or boots. I am glad I bought two, one green flowered and one solid teal which is a darker teal. I look forward to getting a lot of use from each of these "prairie dresses" that are still in fashion! July 2, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Del About the Corduroy Dress Great dress, very comfortable, soft feel, suitable for many occasions, especially in a hot climate when you know you'll be ensconced in an AC environment for a long period of time! May 23, 2016

Rated 2 out of 5Â by ccjp Lovely dress, but . . . I so wanted to keep this dress. I loved everything about it--the color, the fabric, the styling. The only problems were the tight sleeves and tightness across the shoulders when I reached. It fit great everywhere else. Tight sleeves don't make any sense given the somewhat loose fit of the rest of the dress. Back it goes. January 19, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by RodeoMary Great everything From the products themselves to your customer service, everything in my experience was excellent. I purchased two dresses, old fashioned chocolate covered cream drops, and your lilac scented bar soaps. High quality throughout. Fast shipping too! Thanks for a lovely holiday shopping experience.

For many years Hewlett-Packard and Palm competed for the place on the market of personal digital assistants (PDAs), but the smartphone era essentially ousted both: HP ceased to make PDAs and smartphones in the middle of the last decade, whereas Palm has been gradually losing market share. On Wednesday the two announced plans to become one: HP will acquire Palm in an attempt to create an ultimate mobile platform.
The combination of HP's global scale and financial strength with Palm's webOS platform will enhance HP's ability to participate more aggressively in the fast-growing, highly profitable smartphone and connected mobile device markets, the two companies said. Palm's unique webOS will allow HP to take advantage of features such as true multitasking and always up-to-date information sharing across applications.
It is noteworthy that HP used Windows Mobile operating system on its PDAs and fiercely competed against Palm just 5 – 10 years ago. Windows Mobile platforms now competes against many other operating systems, including Apple iPhone OS, Google Android, RIM Blackberry and so on. Palm's webOS has failed to become a robust solution for modern smartphones and sales of Palm Pre, the latest smartphone, from the company effectively failed on the market. As a result, it remains to be seen whether HP could revive the webOS.
"Palm's innovative operating system provides an ideal platform to expand HP's mobility strategy and create a unique HP experience spanning multiple mobile connected devices. Palm possesses significant IP assets and has a highly skilled team. The smartphone market is large, profitable and rapidly growing, and companies that can provide an integrated device and experience command a higher share," said Todd Bradley, executive vice president of personal systems group at HP.
HP will purchase Palm at a price of $5.70 per share of Palm common stock in cash or an enterprise value of approximately $1.2 billion. The transaction has been approved by the HP and Palm boards of directors.
"We're thrilled by HP's vote of confidence in Palm's technological leadership, which delivered Palm webOS and iconic products such as the Palm Pre. HP's longstanding culture of innovation, scale and global operating resources make it the perfect partner to rapidly accelerate the growth of webOS. We look forward to working with HP to continue to deliver industry-leading mobile experiences to our customers and business partners," said Jon Rubinstein, chairman and chief executive officer of Palm.
Under the terms of the merger agreement, Palm stockholders will receive $5.70 in cash for each share of Palm common stock that they hold at the closing of the merger. The merger consideration takes into account the updated guidance and other financial information being released by Palm this afternoon. The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of domestic and foreign regulatory approvals and the approval of Palm's stockholders. The transaction is expected to close during HP's third fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2010.
Palm's current chairman and CEO, Jon Rubinstein, is expected to remain with the company.

Have you ever needed a software RAID solution for a low-end server install? Perhaps you've wanted your workstation to take advantage of the redundancy provided by a disk mirror without investing in a hardware RAID controller. Has a prior painful configuration experience turned you off software RAID altogether on Unix systems?
Since 5.3-Release, FreeBSD comes with
gmirror(8), which allows you to easily configure a software RAID 1 solution. While tutorials on
gmirror exist, I found them to require either manual calculations of partition sizes with
bsdlabel or the use of a fix-it floppy on an existing system.
It made more sense to me to configure RAID during the install of the operating system. I also wanted a procedure that was easy to follow and didn't introduce human error in the form of a math miscalculation. After cobbling together the available documentation and experimenting my way through various configurations, I came across a procedure that has worked well for me on several different systems. I also received valuable feedback from Pawel Jakub Dawidek, the author of
gmirror, who gave some insight into some of the not yet documented features of
Related Reading
The Complete FreeBSD
Before demonstrating the configuration, it is useful to understand a bit about GEOM. GEOM is the modular disk framework introduced in FreeBSD 5.0. This modularity allows the creation of programs to manipulate disks. The best examples are the software RAID programs introduced with FreeBSD 5.3:
gstripe(8) provides a stripe set or RAID 0
gmirror(8) provides a mirror/duplex or RAID 1
graid3(8) provides a stripe with parity or RAID 3
The initial g indicates that each of these programs takes advantage of GEOM.
Note: if you're totally new to RAID, Webopedia has a good definition of each RAID level.
man 4 geom describes the terms it uses to refer to disks, some of which you'll see when setting up
gmirror. These terms include the following:
If you're going to use RAID 1, make your life easy and purchase two identical disks (of the same model and size). You can complicate things by insisting on different disks with different sizes, but in the end you just end up with a harder configuration that wastes the extra disk space on the larger disk. Cable the identical drives so that one is the primary master and the other is the secondary master. Before installing the operating system, double-check that your CMOS recognizes both disks.
Using your favorite installation method, start a FreeBSD install of any version (5.3 or higher). When you get to the Select Drives menu, it should show ad0 and ad2. Select ad0, as you will be installing the operating system on the primary master.
Within the
fdisk utility, remove any existing partitions and then select "Use entire disk." When asked about the boot menu, choose "Standard MBR."
In the disklabel editor, set up the partitions on ad0 according to your requirements. If in doubt, choose
a for automatic. Then choose your install sets and your install media, and let the operating system install as usual.
When finished, go through the postinstall configurations and set your time zone, create a user account, set the root password, and so on.
However, don't reboot when you end up back at the
sysinstall main menu. Instead, press Alt-F4, which will take you to a command prompt. The first command I type is
csh so I can get a shell with history (the default shell is Bourne).
Creating a mirror/duplex is as simple as typing:
# gmirror label -v -b round-robin gm0 /dev/ad0
gmirror label creates the mirror;
-v enables verbose mode;
-b round-robin chooses a balance algorithm (at the moment, round-robin is the algorithm with the best performance);
gm0 is the name of mirror/duplex (this name represents the first GEOM mirror); and
/dev/ad0 represents the disk containing the data to mirror.
However, you'll be disappointed if you try the command now:
# gmirror label -v -b round-robin gm0 /dev/ad0
Can't store metadata on /dev/ad0: Operation not permitted
This is a security feature that indicates that the disk is currently mounted for writing and therefore is unavailable. However, you can get around this chicken-and-egg problem and temporarily force
gmirror to bypass this measure in order to create the mirror/duplex by setting a
sysctl MIB:
# sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16
kern.geom.debugflags: 0 -> 16
Don't worry; this MIB will return to 0 when you reboot (which I'll have you do in just a few minutes). Try again:
# gmirror label -v -b round-robin gm0 /dev/ad0
Metadata value stored on /dev/ad0
That's it; you now have a RAID 1 system.
It is, however, useful to tell the operating system to load it whenever you boot. This requires edits to two files. The first one is currently empty, so just
echo over the required line:
# echo geom_mirror_load="YES" > /boot/loader.conf
However, /etc/fstab is not empty, so I recommend making a backup copy before editing it:
# cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.orig
# vi /etc/fstab
Change each
ad to a
gm, and insert a
mirror after
/dev. For example,
/dev/ad0s1a becomes
/dev/mirror/gm0s1a. Unless you've made extra partitions, you'll have
ad0s1 devices ending in
e, and
f and will need to edit each of those lines.
When finished, triple-check your changes to both /etc/fstab and /boot/loader.conf. While it is fixable, it sucks not being able to boot into a new system because of a typo.
Note: some tutorials indicate you also need to add a
swapoff option to /etc/rc.conf. This is no longer necessary, and neither is using
shutdown -r now instead of
Once you're sure you don't have any typos, return to Alt-F1 and exit the installation menu after removing your installation media.
If you watch your boot-up messages, you should see this in bold white text right after the disks are probed:
GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0 created (id=2125638583).
GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: provider ad0 detected.
GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: provider ad0 activated.
GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: provider mirror/gm0 launched.
GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0 already configured.
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/mirror/gm0s1a
and the system will continue to boot. However, if you have a typo in /etc/fstab, the boot will stop at this point and wait for you to type something meaningful. In this example, I forgot to insert
mirror when I edited /etc/fstab, meaning
/dev/gm0s1a should have been
/dev/mirror/gm0s1a so that FreeBSD could find my root filesystem:
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/gm0s1a
setrootbyname failed
ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp
Root mount failed: 6
Manual root filesystem specification:
<fstype>:<device> Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype>
e.g. ufs:da0s1a
? List valid disk boot devices
<empty line> Abort manual input
Fortunately, that's not as scary as it looks. Start by listing your valid disk boot devices:
mountroot> ?
List of GEOM managed disk devices:
mirror/gm0s1f mirror/gm0s1e mirror/gm0s1d mirror/gm0s1c mirror/gm0s1b
mirror/gm0s1a mirror/gm0s1 ad2s1 mirror/gm0 ad0s1 ad2 acd0 ad0 fd0
If you type in the correct location of the / filesystem, the system will continue to reboot:
mountroot> ufs:/dev/mirror/gm0s1a
Mounting root from /dev/mirror/gm0s1a
After logging in, be sure to edit the offending line in /etc/fstab and try rebooting again. When you can boot up and log in successfully, verify that each partition on the mirror mounted successfully with:
% df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/mirror/gm0s1a 248M 35M 193M 15% /
devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev
/dev/mirror/gm0s1e 248M 12K 228M 0% /tmp
/dev/mirror/gm0s1f 7.3G 99M 6.7G 1% /usr
/dev/mirror/gm0s1d 248M 196K 228M 0% /var
df won't show your swap partition; you can verify it with:
% swapinfo
Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity
/dev/mirror/gm0s1b 629544 0 629544 0%
The only thing left to do is to synchronize the data on both hard drives. This will happen automatically as soon as you issue the command to insert the second drive into the mirror:
# gmirror insert gm0 /dev/ad2
GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: provider ad2 detected.
GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: rebuilding provider ad2.
To see what's happening:
# gmirror list | more

Note the
SYNCHRONIZING on the
Flags line. It will take a while for these two drives to synchronize, as it is currently at 1 percent. I've seen times ranging from about 30 minutes for a 10GB drive to about two and a half hours for a 75GB drive. If you're curious, check the progress with:
# gmirror status
Name Status Components
mirror/gm0 DEGRADED ad0
ad2 (2%)
You'll see a status message in bold white text when the synchronization finishes:
GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: rebuilding provider ad2 finished.
GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: provider ad2 activated.
If you repeat
gmirror list, you'll note that the
State has changed from
DEGRADED to
COMPLETE and the
Synchronized line is now gone. Don't worry if you see
DIRTY on the
Flags line, as it simply indicates that the system has written new data to the disk but hasn't mirrored it yet. If you were to wait a few seconds on a quiet disk, you would see the
Flags line change to
For the final test,
reboot the system.
This time your startup messages should include:
GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0 created (id=2125638583).
GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: provider ad0 detected.
GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: provider ad2 detected.
GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: provider ad0 activated.
GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: provider ad2 activated.
GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: provider mirror/gm0 launched.
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/mirror/gm0s1a
GEOM utilities are works in progress, and the developers constantly add new features and updates to the man pages. It's well worth your while to keep your favorite version of FreeBSD up-to-date using
cvsup or to choose a newer release when deciding which version of FreeBSD to install.
If you wish to gather performance statistics on your mirror/duplex, try
gstat(8). A good read through
gmirror(8) is also in order, especially if you want an overview of the procedure for replacing a failed disk.

Bing, Bang, Boom–23 Runs, 32 Hits, 0 Errors and the First Two Sox Victories of the Spring
It was a Saturday of epic proportion. Well, maybe not epic, but boy it was fun.

IMO, the best news in all of this is zero errors. Sloppy fielding sunk this team on numerous occasions last summer.
As always, a great blog post, Art.

Technological advances, coupled with rising labor and food costs and the desire for better roasted meat products, led to the development of low-temperature, cook-and-hold ovens. Since the beginning of recorded history, man has been cooking food. Initially, this was cooking done on a spit over an open fire. In the Middle Ages, enclosed stone and brick-lined ovens were used. Later, various ways of regulating heat were introduced and other fuel sources besides wood, such as natural gas, were ...

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker was in Cashton Thursday to sign a bi-partisan bill into law.
The governor visited Cashton Farm Supply Specialties Incorporated.
The bill provides equal assessment when taxing local farms for equipment used in manufacturing. "It really just levels the playing field here. It will help our rural economy, it will help our rural manufacturers for agriculture manufacturing. So it's something that really is a win win. It was not something that was a partisan bill. It was overwhelmingly passed in the assembly and the senate," said Democratic State Senator Jennifer Shilling from La Crosse.
Senator Shilling and Republican Senator Terry Moulton co-authored the bill.

Eva Longoria Shows Lots Of Skin In A Hot Lingerie Pictorial For The December GQ Mexico
Eva Longoria is looking pretty amazing at 37.
The former Desperate Housewives star sizzles in a new pictorial for the December GQ Mexico shot by Randall Slavin.
While Eva sizzles showing off her outer beauty on the pages of the magazine, she discusses inner beauty also, hoping people see her as beautiful all around.
"Ah, I always feel flattered when I say that!" she laughs when she talks about being considered one of the world's sexiest women.
"I hope people perceive me as beautiful in everything I do in relation to works of charity and philanthropy, or political activism," she adds. "For me, those are the things that define beauty. The beauty lies mainly on personality, not on skin."
Speaking of her political activism, Eva came under fire in October for re-tweeting one of her followers' messages and then skirting around the issue; saying her twitter was "bugging out" that day.
"I have no idea why any woman/minority can vote for Romney. You have to be stupid to vote for such a racist/misogynistic tw*t," the original tweet said.
But Eva quickly deleted the post and apologized for re-tweeting the hateful words.
"I use Twitter as a platform for all Americans and their opinions. Sorry if people were offended by retweet. Obviously not my words or my personal view. I respect all Americans #FreedomOfSpeech," she wrote; later adding, "And for the record I have never personally called any conservative women stupid. I think u are all beautiful and strong and smart! I appreciate those conservative women who have sent me some great articles! I respect u, stay involved!"
Later that day she finally admitted she re-tweeted the message and it wasn't a twitter glitch.
"I retweet many people I don't agree with for the purpose of discussion and dialogue, that's democracy...and boy did this create dialogue!" She wrote.
On a lighter note, the native Texan, born to immigrant Mexican parents, loves jetting off to Mexico as much as she can.
"I'm going to Mexico whenever I can... I'm about to start filming at the border, with Ed Harris and Michael Peña: we will shoot in New Mexico and the plot has to do with the border issue, precisely. It is a film that tries to address, from a more humane approach, the struggle of people crossing into [the U.S.] in search of work."

$30K mobile home destroyed by fire, sheriff says
Perry home is 2nd fire possibly linked to thawing frozen pipes
Authorities said a Town of Perry mobile home was considered a total loss due to a fire Tuesday morning.
The Dane County Sheriff's Department, along with Mt. Horeb, Blanchardville and Barneveld fire departments, responded to the report of a fire at 1145 Highway 78 at about 11:20 a.m.
The mobile home was engulfed in flames when deputies and firefighters arrived, Dane County Sheriff's Spokeswoman Elise Schaffer said.
The home, valued at approximately $30,000, is considered a total loss, according to the report.
Schaffer said ammunition in the home exploded during the fire but there was no concern of responders being shot as the rounds simply explode and do not "shoot" as they would from a firearm.
The official cause of the fire has not yet been determined; however, Schaffer said the property owner was working to thaw frozen pipes before the blaze.
Schaffer said the sheriff's department is reminding citizens to use caution when thawing frozen pipes, given the extremely cold temperatures recently.
Using an open flame to thaw pipes can be extremely dangerous, Schaffer said. Other options to thaw pipes are encouraged, including using heat tape, hot water or a hair dryer. The alternative methods may take longer, but they are far less dangerous, Schaffer said.
Schaffer said a barn fire in the Town of Montrose Tuesday morning may be connected to thawing frozen pipes.

A couple of mamas have recommended it to me for increasing my supply for pumping purposes, but I want to stress that I don't actually have a low milk supply. It's just perfectly in tune with DD, just enough and not much extra for pumping. It's suggested that the capsules need to be taken 4 times per day, but I wonder if it's the same for every woman. Could I possibly get the results I need with just twice a day, for example? How successful have you been with it?

A 13-year-old boy is being charged with a felony after he allegedly hit a Chicago police offer with a snowball.
According to The Chicago Tribune, the incident happened close to the school the boy attends. The officer reported that the boy threw a snowball and hit him in the arm while he sat in a marked squad car. The eight-grader claims he wasn't the one who threw the snowball and that it didn't hit the officer directly. Regardless, he was arrested and charged with battery to a police officer, which is a felony.
In addition to the charges, the school has suspended the boy for five days, his mother said. Police confirmed it was the suspect's first arrest.

Police said three men attempted to rob a couple Saturday near an apartment building on Troy Drive.
According to the report, a Madison woman, 23, was walking with her boyfriend, a 34-year-old Madison man, in an apartment building parking lot at about 6 p.m. The couple told police they saw three men hurry past them carrying speakers from the woman's car.

October 13, 2011 —
Within a few days, Barb and I will be packing up to return to Texas. Our time in the Northeast has flown by. It is now time for us to be, as Willy Nelson sings, "on the road again." For the two of us, this has been a most disappointing fishing season. It was often disrupted by a number of trips downstate for various doctor tests and appointments. Further difficulties were encountered due to frequent high and dirty water in the local streams. There was just too much water running downhill. From the last week in July, when I mentored at the Trout Unlimited (TU) Fish Camp to the present, my fishing records show we were only able to make four short trips to Catskill streams. Even then the stream flows were higher than normal for this time of the year.
The Upper Delaware Chapter of TU was fortunate that it did not rain when it held its annual picnic at the Catskill Fly Fishing Center on October 1. Twenty members enjoyed a potluck lunch. Mr. Andrew Boyar will be our leader for the next two years. Mr. Craig English will be his vice president for this time. After the election, Ms. Karol Sundholm was given a round of applause for her two years of sterling leadership. The casting for accuracy contest generated a good deal of excitement this time. As the last contestant stepped to the line to cast, there were four casters tied for first place. The last caster was Ed Graham. He very calmly made his casts with precision accuracy. In a matter of moments, the possibility of an overtime casting session was ended. Mr. Graham won the contest for accuracy casting.
For weeks, I found myself frustrated by the fact that only once was I able to use that pretty new eight-foot bamboo rod that Dennis Menscer of Hancock, NY had built for me. As I write this, stream levels have been dropping, and perhaps I'll be able to squeeze in one more fishing day before we leave for Texas.
Some days ago, Mr. Ado Poblete hosted a gathering of fly fishers and their wives. One of the attendees at that dinner was Mr. Gibson McKean. Mr. McKean showed us the most beautiful book regarding fishing that I have ever seen. In this book, there were some 50 color pictures of trout fishing and trout themselves. As you turned the pages, the photos covered both the left and right hand pages in one continuous picture. The book was put together without any visible stitches or glue lines. After allowing us all to view the book, we were told that there were only three copies of this book in existence. The book was given to Mr. McKean in appreciation of his generosity in sharing water that he owns with friends. Due to the rareness of this volume, it is absolutely priceless. Mr. McKean is a fortunate fellow to have friends like this.
Barb and I are looking forward to the 2012 fishing season and I will be tying lots of flies while down in the Lone Star State. In the meantime, this column will appear on the fourth Thursday of the month.
[From November through March, "The Complete Tangler" will appear once a month, the fourth week of the month.]

The murder trial of a federal agent charged with shooting a man in a Waikiki McDonald's started Monday morning.
Opening statements were given in the case against State Department Special Agent Christopher Deedy. The 29-year-old is charged with second-degree murder in the death of 23-year-old Kollin Elderts, of Kailua.
The defense was hoping for a last-minute federal appeals court decision on a request to move the case to federal court. But on Monday the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied that request.
Deedy was in town for the November 2011 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit when he got into an altercation with Elderts inside the restaurant.
In opening statements, the prosecution said that Deedy had been drinking all night at several bars in Chinatown and Waikiki, then went to McDonald's. According to prosecutors, Deedy interjected himself into something he had nothing to do with.
Prosecutors say Deedy told Elderts, "If you keep acting like that you're gonna get shot. You wanna get shot? I'll shoot you."
The prosecution says the situation was fueled by alcohol, compounded by a warning about locals, and ignited by the power of Deedy's Glock.
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Janice Futa says a fellow agent warned Deedy about hostility from locals, which explains why he had a gun with him.
Defense attorney Brook Hart says Deedy wasn't drunk. Hart says Deedy was acting in self-defense and the gun went off when Elderts attacked him.
"Agent Deedy acted responsibly and in self defense. He took measured steps to stop a violent assault," said Hart.
Deedy claims he was acting in self-defense and protecting others. The defense says Deedy intervened when Elderts was harassing a customer with racial slurs.
The prosecution's first witness was Coconut Willy's bartender Kamahuilani Barbett. Barbett says Deedy paid for the tab with nine drinks, but she did not serve him or saw who actually drank the alcohol.
The prosecution's second witness was Special Agent Matthew Golbus of the Defense Security Service. He went over the Foreign Affairs Manual that states that agents cannot consume alcohol, conduct careless behavior, threaten a person, among other things, while carrying a firearm.
Outside Circuit Court, there were demonstrators supporting the late Elderts.

Twitter's Earnings: What to Watch
What to Watch for in Twitter Earnings
When Twitter reports quarterly results Tuesday, the focus will be squarely on what sent the company's stock tumbling three months ago: user growth and engagement.
Twitter's first disclosure as a public company in February didn't go so well. Twitter doubled revenue in the fourth quarter but lost its shine with Wall Street because of its slowing rate of adding new members.
Twitter's user base grew 3.8% to 241 million monthly active users, marking the fourth consecutive quarter it added users at a slower pace. It prompted concerns that Twitter may not have the chops to become a mainstream product like Facebook, which boasts 1.28 billion monthly active users users.
Meanwhile, Twitter's advertising metric for gauging usage — "timeline views" — slid for the first time sequentially. The metric measures a timeline view every time a user refreshes a page on the desktop or a mobile device.
Analysts on average expect first-quarter revenue of $241.5 million, which would again more than double revenue from a year earlier, according to Thomson Reuters. Twitter earlier had projected first quarter revenue in the range of $230 million to $240 million. Analysts estimate Twitter will remain unprofitable with a loss of about 3 cents a share.
Twitter's earnings report comes after the close of New York trading, and the company will hold a conference call for analysts at 5 p.m. ET. Here are some key themes to watch:
Users, Users, Users: Wall Street made itself clear last quarter: It cares about how big Twitter can get—and at 241 million monthly active users, investors were unsatisfied. Just one in five people in the U.S. with an Internet connection use Twitter regularly, compared with more than half the U.S. online population that is on Facebook.
Twitter Chief Executive Dick Costolo tried to reassure shareholders last quarter that the company was on the case, saying it had only recently started dedicating resources to the growth issue. Since then Twitter has released a slew of features aimed at making the service simpler and more appealing to the average Internet user.
Most recently, it redesigned users' profile pages on the Web, resembling the layout employed by Facebook. The new pages have more pop and personality—thanks to bigger headshots, a bigger palette of font and background colors and the ability to "pin" a favorite tweet to the top of the timeline.
Some analysts are skeptical there will be much improvement this quarter. In a report to clients earlier this month, Bernstein Research analyst Carlos Kirjner wrote that he expects "limited change in the user growth trajectory." He estimates Twitter will report 253 million users in the three months through March, a 5% change from three months ago. That's at least a step up.
Engagement: It's important for Twitter not to only have a big user base but to have one that is robust. That means getting users to write, share and engage with tweets.
Engagement matters because it gives Twitter more data about users—what they like, what they're up to and where they are. All of these data points allow advertisers to target users more effectively, which would increase the likelihood that users would interact with an ad. Twitter gets paid when users respond to the ad in some way, such as by clicking a link or retweeting the ad.
Costolo said that various improvements to the products boosted user interaction with tweets last quarter. Actions such as retweets and favorites were up 35% from the previous quarter. However, he also de-emphasized Twitter's own ad metric for engagement — timeline views — saying the number fell because new features made it less necessary to refresh a page.
MoPub: Last quarter there was surprisingly little mention of MoPub, the mobile ad exchange Twitter bought in October. That likely won't be the case Tuesday. Twitter recently announced it integrated the two ad platforms and made native advertising formats available to all MoPub advertisers. This takes some of the pressure off Twitter to drive ad revenue solely on the backs of its own users.
MoPub brings a big number to the Twitter table: the ability to reach one billion unique devices. It gives Twitter the kind of scale that it has been unable to get by user growth alone.
Twitter executives likely will mention the one billion figure more than once. More interesting would be any hints as to how much revenue MoPub contributes. It's likely relatively small at this point but with big upside.
Data: Twitter recently purchased Gnip, marking the first time it is bringing a third-party data broker in house. In the past, Twitter has left that job to others, charging companies such as Gnip for access to its so-called firehose of tweets. The acquisition suggests Twitter plans to get more serious about how to package and offer the data to marketers themselves.
Lockup Expiration: The first big opportunity for Twitter employees to cash out is May 5.
Costolo and some of the company's biggest backers have said they do not plan to sell any of their stock when the rules barring them to do so expire. It is unlikely Twitter will shed any new light on the looming expiration.
Still, lockup expirations are usually accompanied by stock-market volatility. Facebook's shares fell 6.4% to a new low when the first batch became eligible for sale in August 2012. Twitter's shares are down 36% this year and about 9% since after its first day of trading.

Weekend links: Unfortunately expected
But in this area, I think we are lucky that Fairfax county is almost the size of the Portland Metro. MoCo is also huge.
If density and demographics were everything, Rosslyn would have a significant upgrade from their crappy safeway.
Focusing on a stray comment by Kwame is burying the lede on this one. Hmmmm....I wonder why.
The attitude of "TOD development or no development" for every possible location won't make Washington Greater.
It's like trying to disprove the correlation by pointing to Federal Triangle and asking why there are no grocery stores. I know for a fact that a primary factor Whole Foods uses in determining store locations is the number of college educated people living within 15 mins of the location.
The article entirely misses the point of The Pruitt-Igoe Myth. The filmmaker argues, instead, that the project was a success, with a dramatically lower crime rate than the surrounding tenement neighborhoods, until white flight and the crash of urban industry killed St. Louis.
This is what the film website says:
The world-famous image of its implosion has helped to perpetuate a myth of failure, a failure that has been used to critique Modernist architecture, attack public assistance programs, and stigmatize public housing residents. The Pruitt-Igoe Myth seeks to set the historical record straight.The filmmaker is quite explicit and even more forceful in his defense of the Pruitt-Igoe idea in an interview with 99% Invisible (a design show; nothing to do with OWS).
I lived in Rosslyn for 10 years and would agree with the below UrbanTurf article that points out that while Rosslyn is dense with office space, not so much with residences. That's changing, though, and I expect better grocery options will be on the way.
I think theres pent-up demand and a complete lack of product, Jim Abdo, who built two condo loft buildings in Rosslyn a few years ago and recently broke ground on a third, told UrbanTurf.
We feel very bullish on Rosslyn: theres a transformation to a very pedestrian-friendly experience [going on].
Rosslyn has a reputation as a place that shuts down after 6pm, and there is some truth to that as, so far, the neighborhood doesnt have a critical mass of restaurants or nightspots that would make it an evening destination.
Like the areas residential situation, Rosslyns cultural and commercial scene is evolving.
Developers like to say that retail and restaurants follow residential growth. If true, that bodes very well for Rosslyn, an area with a housing market thats hot and getting hotter, but that has a pretty lackluster commercial scene. In a few years, who knows? Rosslyn could become the dynamic, pedestrian-friendly, day-and-night destination that developers envision.
According to the census, there are 12K people in the 22209 area code (rosslyn)
14K in 20037 (west end)
There are at least 4 new buildings that came up since the census -- all resiedntal. 3-4 new ones planned and in construction.
Average sale price of $700K.
Look, I've been in line at that safeway and I'm the only person who did not attend an Ivy League college. Demographics are off the chart sometimes, and clearly better than west end with a large student population.
And that's not including people working there.
Again, demographics is not destiny when it comes to grocery stores.
If this is true, why does Cleveland Park and McLean Gardens just get a Giant, rather than a TJs or a Wegman's?
Does Anacostia want a better grocer, or would they rather simply drive to another neighborhood to go grocery shopping, especially when the alternative would be more residential and commercial density?
I am dubious that the truck had his signal on. Or if so the cyclist could not see it. I find it highly unlikely that any cyclist with an iota of experience would continue straight on the right of a vehicle with its turn signal flashing--regardless of traffic signals.
Although it is legal to turn right on a red light at this intersection, it is unclear if the truck came to a complete stop, but rather rolled on through. That is consistent with some of the eyewitness accounts.
The police did not interview the cyclist and they issued several tickets--one for a nonexistent infraction--based on conflicting eyewitness reports and incomplete information.
Do they simply have discretion to make things up and decide who to believe or not believe and choose not to talk with those they would rather not (the cyclist, e.g.)? None of this gives me much confidence in our system, regardless of whether the cyclist made a mistake.
And this points to a problem with the 'okay to pass on the right' bicycle reg. Right on red didn't exist when this law got codified. Passing a truck that is stopped at a red light and having to wait for the light to change (as used to be the case) is one thing. Passing a truck stopped at a redlight which is in its rightmost lane and therefor legally able to make a right turn at any time is a whole other matter. A prudent and experienced cyclist would never attempt to pass on the right a truck in this position. But CaBi isn't intended to serve the experienced cyclist, is it? (problem #2) ...
Changing the law to make it illegal for a cyclist to pass ANY vehicle on the right (as it is for motor vehicles) is something worth considering to prevent what is otherwise sure to be increasing instances of this kind of accident.
That said, rosslyn will never get a fancy grocery because it's already between two TJs and two whole foods (foggy bottom and clarendon). While there are more than just two factors developers use to locate retail like groceries, demographics and density are two of the most critical.
DC is generally under served by groceries. Probably has to do with the cost of space and of doing business. I'd say one grocery for cleveland park sounds about right compared to what the rest of the city has.
this makes about as much sense as if we wrote '"In any altercation involving a man and woman, the man will be assumed to be at fault unless he can prove otherwise".'
It doesn't make sense because (a) it wrongly assumes that in all instances one party is always capable of doing more harm, and, more importantly (b) it is not based on justice being served but on the interests of one class of parties over the other. We may just as well say 'in any instance of a car accident between a registered voter and an illegal immigrant, the illegal immigrant will be considered to be at fault unless he/she can prove otherwise'.
Whoever thought of this idea is either completely ignorant of the basis of law and justice or so blinded by their own needs and wants that they just don't even care about law and justice. Sad.
This would be unreasonable where bike lanes exist; otherwise it probably would be safety-enhancing. But query whether it will really affect the behavior of casual CaBi riders who are unlikely to have detailed knowledge of the biking regs.
Right now though, it is irrelevant what the law is anyway, because cops in this town seem to always look for a way to blame cyclists in these cases.
Lance, a cyclist who got run over was cited for an imaginary infraction (not wearing a helmet). Do you agree that this is proof that cops are not applying the law fairly in road accidents involving cyclists?? Will you demand an investigation?
Yes, it may have been ineffective, but at least the victim would have signaled his moral seriousness to the @Bob's of the world.
I wonder if the Logan rule will make much difference. Most of the people who park near me live in the neighborhood.
The headline for the cyclist should have noted running the red light, as well as the non-existent infraction.
This is inaccurate because it is one of many limited-purpose governments, this one mainly for planning. The primary example of limited-purpose governments are the water districts: irrigation and water control, which often span counties.
The true regional governments are consolidated cities in which the main city has merged with its containing county and has other cities within the boundary. Examples include Nashville-Davidson, TN, Indianapolis-Marion, IN and, most recently, Louisville-Fayette, KY.
VA law permits the creation of consolidated cities. This has been overlooked in the discussions about incorporating Fairfax County. The County has joint ventures with Fairfax City and Falls Church City, which make them candidates for merger with Fairfax County. They and Fairfax's towns would become "tier cities" with powers determined by negotiations before the consolidation. This would be superior to simply incorporating Fairfax County, as the interests of existing localities can be accommodated.
by Chuck Coleman on Mar 4, 2012 7:58 pm • link • report
Also, always illegal to pass on the right is silly. That could be construed that a car that is in the left lane with its left signal on would be illegal to pass.
Now, a lot has changed since 1990, but you've had high density for 30 years, and one (very lousy) grocery store. I don't see the religion of "build it dense and they wil come" as working. There are always other facts.
The Safeway was renovated around 1999, and really, since then, it has been acceptable.
Also, the reporting of these stories is deficient and biased. "He wasn't wearing a helmet" uhm, irrelevant in this case, and just a way of casting a negative light on the victim. With pedestrians you always hear "they were wearing dark clothing", oh the HORROR! Everyone should change into white or yellow clothes immediately upon nightfall, it's the fault of the pedestrian for wearing a tasteful black or brown coat instead of hunter orange...
So those laws that automatically assume that the car rear-ending another one is in the wrong shouldn't exist? There are plenty of laws on the books like this.

Live OAK COUNTY — The Monday traffic death of South Texas truck driver Francisco "Frank" Perez was apparently a result of the injuries he suffered when he accidentally drove his freightliner truck — which was pulling an oil-based asphalt tanker—into the back of a Peterbilt truck partly stopped in the shoulder of travel along northbound Interstate 37, seven miles east of George West, reports show.
A fatality report completed by Texas DPS officer Laura De Luna identifies the driver who died at the scene as the 65-year-old Perez, a longtime resident of George West.
The report — released Thursday by the Live Oak County Sheriff's Department — also provides specific details regarding the factors leading up to the 5:08 p.m. Monday accident.
Perez was traveling at 75 mph at the time of collision, officials said.
At the time of the collision, the 2008 Peterbilt was positioned with flashers and lights displayed partly in the right lane and partly on the shoulder of travel, near the I-37-US 59 exit, reports show.
The Peterbilt driver, Alejandro Berrones, 36, of San Juan, was directing traffic to move to the left lane while a "fog line," a solid white lane used to determine the lane of travel in poor visibility situations, was being painted on the road by a colleague.
Perez — for an "unknown reason" according to Trooper De Luna —began veering toward the shoulder.
Once Perez realized his 2007 freightliner was moving toward the stopped Peterbilt, he tried to veer away from it but failed, authorities said. Perez could be seen applying his brakes and steering left, unable to stop.
Perez's vehicle and freight load veered to the left lane and grassy shoulder where it came to a stop facing north. The unit then burst into flames. The cab of his oil-based asphalt tanker was engulfed, and the fire also sparked intense grass fires along the median.
The Peterbilt fared somewhat better after the collision, coming to a rest off the roadway. Peterbilt driver Berrones was not injured. But his colleague on the scene, Jesus Moya of Weslaco, was later treated and released for non-capacitating injuries. The report was unclear as to Moya's location when he was hurt.
Perez was able to climb out of vehicle after the collision, but before he could be taken to medical attention he lay down on the ground at the scene and succumbed to his injuries.
All lanes of I-37 traffic, northbound and southbound, were subsequently closed for hours as firefighters fought the grass fires and law enforcement officials worked the accident scene.
Traffic was stalled for miles in all directions. Authorities were on the scene until roughly 10:17 p.m. (although southbound I-37 reopened before 7 p.m.)
Perez was a truck driver for many years for Mission Petroleum, according to his obituary.
His funeral is slated for Friday, Aug. 1, at St. George Catholic Church. Interment with full military honors will follow at George West Cemetery.
News of Perez's death prompted dismay from area residents who had fond memories of the driver.
"So sad," Linda Eddy Wientjes lamented on FB. " I have known the driver for many years. My prayers for his family."
Jessica Villarreal agreed.
"RIP Frank Perez — going to miss you in town on your Harley Davidson," she posted.

A man convicted of killing three people at a Wisconsin church nearly 30 years ago has been ordered back to a state mental-health facility. That's because an appeals court confirmed that he violated conditions of his release.
A judge ruled last year that Bryan Stanley failed to report that he was experiencing violent thoughts for more than a year. The 57-year-old appealed the decision but an appeals court on Friday upheld the lower court's ruling.
Stanley had been found not guilty by reason of mental disease after shooting custodian William Hammes, the Rev. John Rossiter and lay minister Ferdinand Roth Sr. in 1985.
Hammes's daughter, Rose Hammes, told the La Crosse Tribune she's relieved by the ruling.
Defense attorney Thomas Hayes said he expects his client will be disappointed.

The total collection ŌĆö 10,000 pages of oral history ŌĆö was deposited in the Library of Congress, and there, with the exception of scholarly research projects, they languished until Belinda Humence found them and was immediately struck by this lost world that suddenly came alive in these narratives. There are marvelous descriptions of food, clothing and social events that has been lost except for the details in these interviews.
Hurmence left the language alone. Except for errors that were made for the interviewers, she let the former slaves speak for themselves. The result is a world that pulses with danger, cruelty and, strangely enough, joy.
Perhaps the greatest surprise is the fact many of these African-Americans remember their ŌĆ£marstersŌĆØ with affection. Indeed, a handful of formers slaves recall an existence that resembled an earthly Eden where every need was met and every day was joyful. How can that be? Apparently, there were several plantations on the North Carolina coast that resembled independent townships. The slaves ate with their white masters and lived in compact, comfortable homes. Many noted that they never witnessed a whipping or saw a slave auction where families were divided.
However, the violence and brutality that we now associate with slavery is also present. Josephine Smith, who was interviewed in Raleigh, remembers the day that she stood on the auction block in Richmond. She said, ŌĆ£The worst thing I ever seed was a slave woman who had been separated from her three-week-old babyŌĆØ and was being marched to New Orleans. The woman was chained with 20 or 30 other slaves. She had no food and when Josephine passed, she begged for water. ŌĆ£She died there on the side of the road. And they buried her right there, cussing because they had lost money on her.ŌĆØ There are accounts of beatings so brutal that the victims did not survive. ŌĆ£Sometimes, they give you 39 lashes and sometimes they give you 100. You usually donŌĆÖt survive 100 lashes.ŌĆØ
Mattie Curtis recalls a preacher who tied her mother over a barrel and beat her bloody. ŌĆ£He had the barrel carried into the house so he could witness the beating in the parlor.ŌĆØ The beatings were carried out on Sunday. Mattie also remembers that after the war was over, preachers from up North showed up and ŌĆ£marriedŌĆØ many slaves, and ŌĆ£I seed my Mammy and Pappy married.ŌĆØ Mattie remembers that she gave birth to 19 children, all of which were scattered throughout the region to work on other plantations.
Many of the slaves remember historically significant events, such as the arrival of WheelerŌĆÖs Calvary, a Confederate unit that left a wake of death and destruction that was worse than the Yankees. Sarah Debro remembers that WheelerŌĆÖs Calvary murdered three of her uncles. She also recalls the ŌĆ£the patty rollers,ŌĆØ who came at night and terrified slaves who were out ŌĆ£without a pass.ŌĆØ
However, one of SarahŌĆÖs quotes regarding slavery and African-Americans is especially noteworthy:
My folks donŌĆÖt want to talk about slavery. Theys shame niggers ever was slaves. But while for most colored folks, freedom is the best, theyŌĆÖs still some niggers that ought to be slaves now. These niggers has done clean forgot the Lord; those thatŌĆÖs always cutting and fighting and going in white folks houses at night, they ought to be slaves. They ought to have an old marse with a whip to make them come when he say come and go when he say go, till they learn to live right.
SarahŌĆÖs opinions are reflected in other narratives in which the elderly ex-slaves express their disappointment with the younger generation, and ruefully note that ŌĆ£we need the patty rollers back.ŌĆØ
In addition to the numerous accounts of hardship, all of the narratives mention the fact that they were denied an education and were told repeatedly to stay away from books and guns. Although they could not own property, many mention that they were allowed to have large gardens.
It is interesting to note that many of the ex-slaves in these narratives found a way to acquire property after the war, and a large number developed a covert system of farming ... they worked at night, saved money and bought land.
These ŌĆ£slave narrativesŌĆØ contain some remarkable information about lost and obscure practices such as an intricate explanation of about the spinning of flax as related by Parker Poole, a 91-year-old man. ŌĆ£Most white people had flax clothes,ŌĆØ he said. There is also a detailed description of how ice was ŌĆ£harvestedŌĆØ in the winter and buried in pits that were 10 feet deep. The MarsterŌĆÖs whiskey was also stored with the ice. Betty Cofer says, ŌĆ£I never saw a match until I was a grown woman. We made our fire with flint and punk.ŌĆØ
My favorite passage in this collection is the story told by Bob Jones who was interviewed in 1937 in Raleigh. He recalls that when ŌĆ£young Marse JoeŌĆØ went off to the war, he only came home twice. Once when his Daddy died and once when he came home dead.
ŌĆ£I donŌĆÖt remember where he was killed, but he had been dead so long, he had turned dark. Sambo said to me, ŌĆśI thought that I would turn white when I went to heaven, but it appears to me that the white folkes are going to turn black.ŌĆÖŌĆØ
This is a marvelous collection and I sincerely hope that Blair Publishers will publish more ŌĆ£Slave NarrativesŌĆØ in the future.

He did a good job and I think he is coming back next year. The fact the Knicks got at least one win considering everytime you turn around someone is getting severely injured should be enough to justify extending him. Also let's be honest he has a lot of connections in MSG and that is always a plus in the Garden.
Now if Phil Jackson makes it very, VERY clear he wants to coach the Knicks only then do I see him in danger of not getting the job back.

The 'Deranged From Blood' vinyl is strictly limited to ONE PER CUSTOMER. Additional orders will be refunded.
Release date: July 14th
The cult death metal classic, "Dark Recollections" by Carnage, has now been given the FDR treatment, especially for this release. Pressed from the original tapes, this Full Dynamic Range vinyl allows the music's nuances to shine through and giving the whole album a more ferocious and dynamic sound than ever before, and enabling the listener to immerse in the full audio chaos like never before. This full dynamic range release is a reaction to the loudness war which has affected the music scene since the '90s, with artists and labels striving to produce ever-louder CDs. Earache firmly believes the playback volume should be in the hands of the listener, not the producer - that's what the volume control is for!\
This album has never been reissued on vinyl, and has been incredibly difficult to find up until now. Originally released on the Earache imprint label Necrosis, run by none other than Jeff Walker and Bill Steer, "Dark Recollections" was the first full-length output by Michael Amott, who would of course later join Jeff and Bill in Carcass before finding further fame with Arch Enemy. Carnage also comprised of Jonny Dordevic (later of Entombed), as well as Fred Estby and Matti Karki of Dismember.

A Lifelong Love
Nineteen-year-old violin virtuoso Caroline Goulding shares the spotlight with the Pasadena Symphony
By Carl Kozlowski 01/10/2013
While millions of 19-year-old American women prepare to party, go on dates or hit the town with friends this Saturday, Caroline Goulding will be getting ready to take the stage of Pasadena's historic Ambassador Auditorium, where she'll be doing something she has loved since she was 3: playing classical music on her violin.
This time, Goulding will be performing with the Pasadena Symphony, bringing Sibelius' "Violin Concerto" to life during an evening that will also feature the ensemble playing Brahms' "First Symphony" and Composer-in-Residence Peter Boyer's new work, "Apollo."
The entire show will be stylishly guided by Conductor Tito Munoz, who last conducted the symphony in 2011 and inspired the Los Angeles Times to declare that he "struck fire" and "was imparting character into each phrase, getting dialogues going between instrumental groups" at that show.
The symphony's press release notes that Sibelius' "Violin Concerto" "contrasts the dark, dreamy and reflective with an air of passionate urgency, gypsy dance and boundless virtuosity." Speaking by phone from her home in Boston, where she still lives with her parents and siblings, Goulding sounded resoundingly upbeat. Hers was hardly the moody, overly serious persona that one might expect from such a young yet matured artist.
"I could go on forever about why I love music and playing it," says Goulding. "It's when I'm onstage as a musician or performer, for me personally it's a beautiful communal experience. It's kind of a spiritual experience as well, experiencing the music along with the audience. I'm also presenting it to them, which is a very interesting difference between going to a live concert and listening to a recording. The beauty of a live performance is to gain this kind of communal experience."
Although Goulding's two older brothers played trumpet and saxophone when they were kids and haven't become professional performers themselves, she credits their youthful interest in music with inspiring her own. She would grab their horns and fool around with them, leading her brothers to tell their mom to get her an instrument of her own.
"They all thought it was cute, but I don't know why I chose a violin," she recalls. "Maybe I saw it in a cartoon and liked it. But I'm glad I did, and I really always enjoyed it from a young age. Of course, when I started I didn't play it more than 15 minutes a day, but I soon realized that the only way to get better was to practice at it."
Goulding, whose youthful charm and bubbly personality shined through even on a cross-country phone call, managed to keep a balance in her life, rather than having it consumed by the instrument, because "I always believe firmly in quality over quantity, even with practice time," she said.
"What is a normal life [for someone her age]?" Goulding asks with a laugh. "That's what I ask. I'm a big foodie, I love good food, so often my pastimes are food. I'm a coffee snob, and I've become rather persnickety living in Boston these last couple of years. We go to great places to eat and I have a favorite café I go to every day for great coffee, right up my alley. I've also been watching a couple of TV shows while on my break, and am now hooked on 'Downton Abbey' and 'Breaking Bad.' I also love 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' and 'House.' I want to learn more about art and go to museums, too."
While her performance Saturday marks her Pasadena debut, Goulding has managed to travel far and wide to cities that include Cleveland, Toronto and Dallas since turning professional a couple of years ago. She also already has her first Grammy nomination, having earned the honor when she was just 17, and has been profiled in magazines ranging from the upscale music journal Gramophone down through Cosmo Girl in addition to already winning the prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant.
Goulding currently attends the New England Conservatory of Music, near Boston, and studies under noted violinist Donald Wallerstein. Yet her performance schedule is picking up, with this month requiring her to travel all four weekends to shows, and she shows no signs of slowing down.
"I really enjoy traveling, because I love seeing new places and meeting new people, but my favorite part is to make music with different musicians all over the country and the world," says Goulding. "I absolutely want to play for as long as I can, because it's not a career; it's my life and lifestyle."
