Joe McPhee: Artistic Sacrifice from a Musical Prophet
JM: I am thinking about how I felt the first time I heard John Coltrane's, "Chasing the Trane." I worked in this auto factory on second shift, and the moment I got out of work, I would turn on this Chicago radio station that played jazz. There was something about the atmosphere that came in so clear. And then "Chasing the Trane" came on, and I never heard anything like that in my life. So I parked in front of where I lived, opened the windows wide open, put the seat back, with my mouth hanging wide open, and turned the radio up as loud as it could blow. Then my father came out and asked, "What is wrong with you?"
In the morning, I immediately went to our only record store [Record Land] where you could actually listen to an LP before you bought it, and I bought it and listened to it over and over. I had never heard anything like it in my life. It was really something.
But I have now been playing the alto sax for over 30 years, and at this late age, I am also trying to learn the clarinet, because one of these days I am going to dedicate some music to the Savoy Sultans, with a group of similar instrumentation. It will not be that style of music, but it will be as tribute to them, so there are those connections, and I definitely want to make the project happen. I am going to do it.
AAJ: Did you ever see Coltrane perform live?
JM: I first saw Coltrane live at the Village Gate in 1962, with his quartet that included Elvin Jones, McCoy Tyner and Jimmy Garrison. And the closest I can compare this experience is to being on a jet plane going down the runway. It starts up, you hear the engines, and you begin to get a rush. Then things begin to speed up and race, and there is that sound that slowly speeds up and gets louder. Shuuuuuu ... shuuuuu ... shuuuu ... shuuu ... shuu ... shu. And then you have this anxiety just before liftoff, and it happens, and you go up.
When Coltrane came on stage, it was like that. They built it up and up and up, and I thought I was going to die. I mean, I couldn't even breathe! It was like there was not enough oxygen in the room. It was an extraordinary experience. I really don't like the word "awesome," but that's what it was.
AAJ: Let's talk about some of your recordings. Your record Underground Railroad might make some people think about the history of the Underground Railroad for the first time.
JM: Well, I'm glad to hear that, and thank you for saying that. And that is absolutely the point of why I gave it those titlesso that perhaps someday, somebody might be curious and further investigate what that means. I thought that it might be the only chance that I had, because someone has to be interested in searching for that information. And there are so many nuances as to why, what and who, that you cannot put all that into the music. That's another level completely.
AAJ: So say more about this specific recording, Underground Railroad.
JM: In my notes, it was "dedicated to the Black experience here on planet Earth." So what the hell does that mean, and why did I say that? But it's not just about color, it's about people. It was a way of focusing on people's experiences on this planet in 1968. I don't know what's happening on Saturn, but on this planet, we were doing some pretty awful things to each other. And we had been before that, and we still are.
And the Underground Railroad ran through upstate New York, where I live. We definitely did not learn about it through school. What we did know is that it was a way for slaves to escape to the North. Max Roach talks about how they were helped and why the North Star was so important. And so this opened up a door for me to start investigating about my own history. I was the first person in my family to be born in the United States, since my parents were from a very British background.
My life was probably saved due to lightning striking our house in a storm in Miami where everything was destroyed. After that, my father didn't want to raise his family in the South. So he took a job in Poughkeepsie, New York, and that's how I ended up here. But I don't think I would be here today if I would have had to grow up in Miami, Florida back then. It would have been an entirely different set of circumstances.
AAJ: But it must have been difficult growing up Black anywhere in the '50s and '60s?
JM: Well, I grew up in a very integrated school in a neighborhood that included many immigrant and first-generation families that were like my own. So, in that respect, we all had a lot in common. But things really changed when I was 13 years old and going to high school. I remember being on a corner waiting for my schoolmates that I had known for over 8 years. But all of a sudden, I am waiting on the corner by myself. Nobody came, and now I realize that something was different. I mean, how could I have been so stupid? But I just didn't know.
So now, socially, I'm beginning to date and socialize, and I find out that certain things just didn't work. And then in 1955, Emmett Till was murdered while on a summer vacation. Riots broke out in school, and things like that began to happen. What? What's happening? And then in 1962, I was off to Buffalo, NY, on a Greyhound bus, and at that time, Freedom Riders were on buses that were being burned, with people inside of them!

I know we're not NPOV like Wikipedia, but the wording of "Explanations or justifications for including incest in a story" is majorly biased in and of itself and despite listing three reasons, it all comes down to "anyone who writest incest does it just because the guys (as if all incest is slash...?) are hawt". I don't even know how to rewrite that so that it's not insulting. --Kyuuketsukirui 13:46, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
- It's a quote from a single essay; it's not intended to mean "this is why people write incestfic," but "this is one reason, in three parts, that people write incestfic." (Roughly, "because it's cool and fun, and what's wrong with that?") I'd like to see other reasons offered, and it's possible the current bit will be removed entirely removed.
- It's been difficult to track down "why people think incestfic is okay" or "what literary/fannish purpose does incestfic serve," because so many of the essays & comments about it are sharply fandom-specific. (Also, there seems to be little pro-incestfic meta that stands alone; most of the pro side is comments in screeds against it. And maybe that's worth a mention of its own.) There's justifications for waycest, wincest, weasleycest (although the latter often boils down to "don't like? don't read"); not sure there's anything about tamcest (is "tamcest" in use anywhere?). The controversy about RP incest seems much sharper than that around FP incest, and since I'm not involved in it, I haven't been able to sort out the more universal themes & statements. --Elfwreck 14:14, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
- "is "tamcest" in use anywhere?" - possibly not! I was just throwing stuff in there to get the article started. There's an entry for it on urbandictionary... but that doesn't mean anything. --greenapple 15:36, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
- I know people who use "Tamcest," though "Crazy Space Incest" is more widely used by far. I also agree with Kyuuketsukirui above re: bias in this article.--Ari 17:31, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
- I'm reluctant to get involved with the page because I don't feel qualified, and because incest is a squick for me, but this post in Merry's LJ could be included to add another perspective ("the sibling incest angle is neither a squick nor part of the attraction for me"). --Nestra 18:12, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
- Like Nestra, I'm not very qualified to edit the page because I read almost no incest fic, but this article from Transformative Works and Cultures might provide useful citations. It's specific to Wincest, but the points the author makes right up front in the abstract--that the incest stories have a basis in folklore, Romantic and Gothic narratives, and are also the way the fan fiction gives the characters the happiness that they are denied in canon applies to a number of the incest pairings mentioned, I think. --Sinead 20:33, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
Looking for a link
Does anyone remember, a while back-- there was a fan who asked fandom to give her examples of canonical incest in their various fandoms, and people came up with a LOT of them. I looked in metafandom's memories and searched around on delicious.com a bit, but couldn't find it. All I remember is that their LJ was salmon-colored. D'oh. -- Liviapenn 20:29, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
- Livia, I think you're looking for the entry I remember in kitsune13's LJ. I will hence go look for it. (I found your questions via your facepalmy comment on the Talk:Plagiarism page, which I find is a very funny chain of events).--anatsuno 23:51, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
- Here, two links (I have no time to milk them properly and put them to use on the page, sorry: the list and a a "Why I like incest fic" essay.
- FACEPALM. I can't read. This is something else, sorry - a list of published fiction -incest works.--anatsuno 23:57, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
- Wouldn't Luke and Leia from SW also fit your section for the "attracted to each other, then revealed as siblings" plot as well known example?--RatCreature 20:57, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
Useful link
I'm not really into incestfic but this post by sistermagpie explains why she likes brother/sister incest, so maybe that could provide quotes for the "pro" part in the controvery section that would be less slash-centric?--RatCreature 20:39, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
"Not Quite" Incest
I'm kind of uncomfortable with siblings by adoption being categorized as 'not quite incest'. I mean, do siblings-by-adoption consider themselves not-quite-siblings? My experience with adoptees is that they find incest fic a major squick, as a rule. --Betty 17:28, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
- I was having a little trouble with that section. The trouble with "not quite incest" is that it covers two areas (1) a pairing that IS, technically (legally?) incest, but wouldn't really squick most readers for the same reason as incest usually does (like say on a soap opera where a grown man meets his brand new stepmom who's the same age as him and they have an affair) or (2) pairings that are NOT technically incest, but might squick people for the same reasons as actual incest. (First cousins, etc.) But yeah, it is sort of insensitive as it stands. Maybe the adopted-siblings pairings could be moved up to "Canonical incest" with a note saying "Sometimes when there's canon incest, TPTB make it between adopted siblings, presumably to make it slightly less squicky, but it's still an incest pairing." -- Liviapenn 17:34, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
- Hmm, I have always viewed fictional incest between non-blood relatives as a sort of "have your cake and eat it, too" category. Incest in fiction often doesn't RL, so I don't think what people think IRL really comes into it. In this type of fiction, there is usually a huge relief and they go "oh, we're not *really* related, so it's okay!", so the story itself places emphasis on them not being really related, so that readers/viewers can get the forbidden thrill of incest, but not see it as "so" bad. --Kyuuketsukirui 19:59, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
Utena Incest
The article states that there are both heterosexual and lesbian cannon pairings in Utena but I can only think of het pairings - Nanami/Touga, Miki/Kaoru, & Akio/Anthy. Can anyone clarify? Zephyrprince 15:42, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
The "not quite" section, which I've renamed, relied on the idea that there is a clear and universal definition of "incest". This just isn't so. It's not that first cousin relationships can seem "uncomfortably close" to incest for some people; it's that legally/culturally/whatever, they are incest, by definition, for a number of people. (Whether or not they in fact disapprove even in real life is another matter.) So do consider that when you're talking about things being "technically" or "legally" incest: those things aren't constants. Franzeska 19:46, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

On the criminal front the convicted serial killer and pig farmer William Picton will be sentenced this week. The convicted fraudster and British Lord pinning to be Canadian again will be sentenced today
On the political front the Commons Ethics Committee has heard from Karlheinz Schreiber, aka the Artful Dodger. Now we are anticipating the testimony from Brian Mulroney, a former Prime Minister, aka The Eloquent Liar.
In Alberta the "colourful" Dr Lyle Oberg is reported to be announcing his "retirement" from politics today. Dr. Oberg was adept at sitting on political powder kegs and giving off sparks. Stelmach has run out of patience with the irrepressible Dr. Oberg. It looks like he is about to politically implode instead of explode as he goes out with a whimper and not much of a bang.
In theses examples we have some proof that the systems will actually work effectively on occasion.

Last time we looked at how to create something like the Essential Knight using only content from the Player's Handbook. This time it's the turn of the Mage, a specialist Wizard formally educated in the ways of spell casting. Can we do the same thing, and create a leaner, simpler magic-user using only the PHB? Of course we can! But first, I'm going to go…

Now that Katy Perry is free to play the field again, the pop star's super religious parents think they found her a perfect match: football God Tim Tebow.
Could he be the man who saves Perry from a Russell Brand induced broken heart and gets the singer to settle down again?
Keep reading for more on Katy Perry and Tim Tebow… after the jump!
Everyone knows how religious NFL star Tim Tebow is. His signature prayer move is more popular than the moonwalk. And it works. The guy wins football games. This seems like just the guy for Katy Perry, according to her Christian pastor parents, Mary and Keith Hudson.
Katy's mom firmly believes the best cure for heartache is to quickly fall in love again. In her mind, Tebow is the perfect guy for her daughter. He's handsome, charming, intelligent and above all, a good Christian. (via The NY Post)
Perry and Russell split just weeks ago after just over a year of not so wedded bliss. Brand is a recovering addict who had a loose tongue, making blasphemous jokes that ruffled Perry's feathers… and faith.
She said in a statement that "Russell has made very blasphemous jokes in the past, but he's making fewer all the time because he knows that I am very sensitive about this subject."
Well, now that that weird relationship is put to bed, here's the question that needs to be asked: is Katy even into Tim Tebow?
Katy's mentioned on more than one occasion how much she likes Tim. (via The NY Post)
What parents wouldn't want their daughter with a nice guy after being married to such a wild card like Brand?

Detectives are looking again at the possibility of charging serial child killer Robert Black with the 1978 murder of Genette Tate.
Police have long suspected Black of killing 13-year-old Genette, whose body has never been found.
But there is now new hope of a prosecution after Black, 67, lost an appeal against his latest conviction for the murder of nine-year-old Jennifer Cardy.
Black, who has four child murder convictions, is believed to have been in the area at the time Genette vanished from a country lane in Devon.
He was even arrested over the disappearance, but has never been charged.
Her father John, 72, today said his daughter has never been far from his mind for the last 36 years.
He added: "You look at everything that could possibly be to do with her. You just cope very poorly sometimes."
Mr Tate said of Devon and Cornwall Police's handling of the case: "I haven't been disenchanted with them apart from their lack of contact sometimes, but what do you do?"
Black had argued that his trial for Jennifer's murder was prejudiced because details about three other child murders for which he had already been jailed were revealed to the jury.
Cold case detectives are now liaising with the complex case unit of the Crown Prosecution Service to see if the appeal court ruling has "any bearing on the Genette Tate case".
It could pave the way for police to launch a new investigation into Black based on his previous convictions.
Black was found guilty in 1994 of three child murders in the 80s – those of Susan Maxwell, 11, from the Scottish Borders, five-year-old Caroline Hogg, of Edinburgh, and Sarah Harper, 10, from Morley, near Leeds.
His reign of terror finally ended in 1990 when he was caught red-handed with a six-year-girl hooded, bound, gagged and stuffed in a sleeping bag in the back of his van in the Scottish village of Stow.
He had sexually assaulted her moments earlier.
But in 2012 he was prosecuted for a fourth murder – that of Jennifer, who was snatched in 1981 as she cycled to a friend's house in Ballinderry, County Antrim, Northern Ireland.
The paedophile is now serving a total of 12 life sentences for murder and kidnap.
Nikki Haywood, head of the CPS south-west complex casework unit, confirmed: "The CPS is considering information provided by Devon and Cornwall Police and any potential impact it may have in respect of the Genette Tate case.
"Consideration is at a very early stage."

Chocolate Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 20 mins
Easy and sinful; what more could you ask for?? Thanks again, Sandra Lee. Note: Do not add any other ingredients called for in the brownie mix.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 22 1⁄2 ounces brownie mix (1 box)
- 1⁄3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1⁄2 cups quick-cooking oats
- 1 cup raisins
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Lightly coat baking sheets with cooking spray or line with parchment.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients with a wooden spoon.
- Drop by heaping tablespoons onto prepared baking sheets. Bake until set, about 17 to 20 minutes.
- Remove from oven and cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to cooling racks.
Most Helpful
The dough seemed a little dry and crumbly so I did add a splash of water. I also used chocolate chips instead of raisins which I know completely changes the cookie. But I still wanted to rate this because this was a fantastic and quick 5 ingredient recipe that turned out great!
We enjoyed these. I got such a good deal on brownie mixes, I came home with a bunch. Now what to do with them? I liked how easy this was. The addition of the oats and raisins made them interesting and chewy. I would give this about 4 1/2 stars - as I reserve 5 stars for our favorites. I appreciate the creativity. Thank you very much for sharing!
Oooohh! These are so moist and chewy! If you love chocolate try these cookies. YUMMY!! Thanks Kree for a great recipe!

** = World's first implementation
Quality/Usability : AS A REMINDER, WE DO NOT CONDONE PIRACY. THIS REVIEW IS FOR EDUCATIONAL AND INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY.
The Cobra USB dongle comes in a box that has a snake skin like look and is surrounded with foam for added protection. The Cobra USB dongle is available in 2 versions: one with firmware pre-installed and a blank version where the firmware will have to be downloaded from the Cobra USB website. You can download the required files and firmware here. For additional information on how to update or install your Cobra USB, you can also download the latest user manual from the link.
Before getting the Cobra USB to work, you must first installed the necessary drivers on your PC. Once you installed the drivers, you can update the Cobra's firmware. To update Cobra USB firmware, just drag and drop the update file into the cobraflash program. Wait for the update to complete and when asked, press ENTER to exit. It is important to not remove the device while the update is in progress.
Cobra 3.55 cfw installation (same method if newer cfw's are released)
Download the PS3UPDAT.PUP file of the cobra CFW. The MD5 of this file is 0922794CFB2FA4CB3DF71C8C3E391E08.Copy this file to any usb drive, in /PS3/UPDATE/ folder (create the folders if they don't exist), and connect it to the PS3.If you are on a firmware prior to 3.55, including cfw, install the update using the XMB, remember to choose "Update via Storage Media". Follow any instructions, and skip the next steps.If you are on firmware 3.55, ofw or cfw, in some consoles you will be able to update using the XMB. In other consoles, you will be given an error complaining that latest firmware is already installed. On those consoles, you will have to install cobra cfw in recovery mode. Next steps explain how to enter this mode.To enter recovery mode, power off the PS3. Keep the usb drive with the cfw pup as the only device connected to the PS3.Power on the PS3 keeping the power button pressed until the PS3 powers off.Power on again the PS3 keeping the power button, until you hear one beep followed by a double beep.You are now in recovery mode, connect a PS3 controller to any USB port, choose option 6 in the screen, and follow any other on screen instructions.
Note: Cobra CFW will behave like a 3.55 ofw if the PS3 is booted without Cobra USB connected. It is useless to install this CFW if you don't have a Cobra USB device. Cobra USB requires certain binary files of the firmware not to be changed. Changing these files may make Cobra USB not to work at all, or to behave incorrectly. Changing fonts, xml, etc is fine, if the user knows what he is doing.
Advice: if you want to update the system again to install other firmware, we recommend to do it booting the PS3 without Cobra USB connected. It will probably work with Cobra USB connected too, but it is safer to update without Cobra patches present.
Jailbreak instructions
Firstly, you must install cobra 3.55 cfw. (Cobra no longer supports 3.41 firmwares)Your PS3 must be powered off. Unlike in previous versions, there is no need of a full power off, or removing any disc.Insert Cobra USB in the PS3. Make sure that it is in PC mode (switch in left position). Yes, PC mode. Since firmware 3.00, PC mode and jailbreak modes are equivalent, however, we recommend using PC mode for both jailbreak and cobra updates, downgrade position for factory service mode, and leave the jailbreak position (middle position) unused.
In PS3 models with four USB ports, don't use the one in the left, except in the case that another USB device is also connected at the same time.
Unlike in previous versions, you can have other USB devices connected at booting time if you wish.Simply turn on the PS3 without doing any button combo.Cobra blue led will turn on for a short moment, followed by the red led blinking. After some time, green led will turn on and PS3 will be in Cobra mode.
When the Cobra USB is plugged into the USB port of the PS3, the logo on the dongle lights up in a bright white.
Installation of the Cobra Manager is the same as installing any package. Load the manager onto a USB storage device (not Cobra USB) via PC, load PS3 into jailbreak mode, insert USB storage device and "Install Package Files". The Cobra Manager is similar to any other backup manager released for jailbroken PS3's. Cobra USB Manager loads PS3 game backups from the following directories:
/dev_hdd0/GAMES/dev_hdd0/BDRIPS/dev_hdd0/GAMEZ/dev_hdd0/PS3ISO (for ISO backups)/dev_usbXXX/GAMES/dev_usbXXX/GAMEZ/dev_usbXXX/PS3ISO (for ISO backups)
And it writes game backups to:
/dev_hdd0/GAMES/dev_hdd0/PS3ISO (for ISO backups)/dev_usbXXX/GAMES/dev_usbXXX/PS3ISO (for ISO backups)
Making Blu-Ray backups
Start Cobra USB Manager from the XMB.Press square to change to Blu-Ray mode.Insert a Blu-Ray (BD-ROM, BD-R, BD-RE). It will appear at the beginning of the list.Select it, press circle, and choose the destination device from the list. Wait for the copy to complete.
Warning: although Cobra USB Manager allows original Blu-Ray movies to be copied, backups won't work because of AACS copy protection. However, you can transfer these backups to your PC, decrypt them using some tool such as AnyDvd HD, DVDFab, etc, and transfer the decrypted ISO back to the PS3. If you have a Blu-Ray reader on your computer, you may want to do the full process there instead.
Playing Blu-Ray backups
Start Cobra USB Manager from the XMB.Press square to change to Blu-Ray mode.Choose the backup from the list and press X.Cobra USB Manager will mount the backup and exit. You can play your movie backup using the XMB player.When you are done playing the backup, you can start Cobra USB Manager again if you wish to unload the backup.
Cobra USB Manager uses the following directories to load/write Blu-Ray backups in ISO format:
ISO files can be split using the same naming convention used for game backups in ISO format. Blu-Ray backups are not limited to movies; any kind of ISO file having a file system recognized by the PS3 can be mounted as a Blu-Ray.
Making DVD backups
Start Cobra USB Manager from XMB.Press square twice to change to DVD mode.Insert a DVD-ROM, DVD+/-R or DVD+/-RW. It will appear at the beginning of the list.Select it, press circle, and choose the destination device from the list. Wait for the copy to complete.
Warning: although Cobra USB Manager allows original DVD movies to be copied, backups won't work if they use CSS copy protection. In these cases, it is a better idea to do the backup in a computer using any program that removes CSS, and then transfer the unprotected backup to the PS3.
Playing DVD backups
Start Cobra USB Manager from XMB.Press square twice to change to DVD mode.Choose the backup from the list and press X.Cobra USB Manager will mount the backup and exit. You can play your movie backup using the XMB player.When you are done playing the backup, you can start Cobra USB Manager again if you wish to unload the backup.
Cobra USB Manager uses the following directories to load/write DVD backups in ISO format:
ISO files can be split using the same naming convention used for game backups in ISO format. DVD backups are not limited to movies; any kind of ISO file having a file system recognized by the PS3 can be mounted as a DVD.
Making PSX backups
Start Cobra USB Manager from XMB.Press square three times to change to PSX mode.Insert an original PSX game or a backup in a CD-R disc. It will appear at the beginning of the list.Select it, press circle, and choose the destination device from the list. Wait for the copy to complete. If the game only contains the data track, the backup will be in ISO format; if it contains more tracks, cue/bin format will be used instead.
Playing PSX backups
Start Cobra USB Manager from XMB.Press square three times to change to PSX mode.Choose the backup from the list and press X.Cobra USB Manager will mount the backup and exit. You can start the PSX game backup from the XMB.
Cobra USB Manager uses the following directories to load/write PSX backups:
Allowed format are:
ISO (mode 2/2352).Cue+bin. Data track must be mode 2/2352.
Cue+bin+wav is not supported: audio tracks in wav files are ignored.
Playing PSX backups in CD-R
Cobra USB allows PSX backups in CD-R discs to be transparently started from XMB without the need of Cobra USB Manager.
PSX region
Cobra USB bypasses PSX region for original PSX games, and backups in both CD-R and ISO/cue format.
However there is currently a frame rate issue, and NTSC games don't play properly on PAL consoles and vice versa.
Making PS2 backups
This feature is mainly for backwards compatible models (CECHA, CECHB, CECHC and CECHE). PS2 mode won't appear in other models unless the software emulator option is unlocked (see "Settings menu" section)
Start Cobra USB Manager from XMB.Press square four times to change to PS2 mode.Insert an original PS2 game or a DVD+/-R or CD-R backup. It will appear at the beginning of the list.Select it, press circle, and choose the destination device from the list. Wait for the copy to complete.
Playing PS2 backups
This feature is mainly for backwards compatible models (CECHA, CECHB, CECHC and CECHE), although PS2 backups can be loaded in other models if the software emulator is unlocked (see "Settings Menu" section).
Currently, PS2 backups can only be loaded from internal disc, and not from external drives or optical discs. You can however transfer backups between them.
Start Cobra USB Manager from XMB.Press square four times to change to PS2 mode.Choose the backup from the list and press X.Cobra USB Manager will mount the backup and exit. You can start the PS2 game backup from the XMB. Don't forget that you must assign slots to virtual memory cards in the XMB if they aren't already assigned.
Cobra USB Manager uses the following directories for PS2 backups:
/dev_hdd0/PS2ISO/dev_usbXXX/PS2ISO -> currently, only for transferring, not loading
Allowed format are:
DVD backups: ISO files with 2048 bytes per sector.CD backups:
ISO files with 2048 or 2352 bytes per sector; CD backups with 2352 bytes per sector are more compatible.Cue+bin: Data track must be mode 2/2352.
Cue+bin+wav is not supported: audio tracks in wav files are ignored.
PS2 ISO backups are automatically unmounted when returning to XMB from the game.
Because of the special nature of the PS2 emulator, Cobra USB must be connected when exiting a PS2 game from the emulator menu. If Cobra USB is not connected, you will return to a normal not patched 3.55 XMB.
PS2 region
Currently, there is no support to load original games from different region. However, backups in ISO are region free, and the PS2 emulator successfully switches to the proper frame rate.
The regional lock of original discs doesn't apply to making backups; you can backup your regional locked game and play the ISO backup.
Settings menu
Settings menu can be entered in Cobra USB Manager by pressing R1. Use left-right to change settings.
Currently, the following settings can be changed:
Blu-Ray region: you can fake here the region for blu-ray playback, allowing the playing of movies of different regions. This process doesn't write anything in the system flash, region is only faked when starting the console with Cobra USB.DVD region: you can fake here the region for DVD-video playback, allowing the playing of DVD video of different regions. This only applies to RCE protected titles, standard DVD regional protection is already bypassed by Cobra USB. This process doesn't write anything in the system flash, region is only faked when starting the console with Cobra USB.Games launch mode: you can change here how games are launched. XMB mode means that Cobra USB Manager will exit back to XMB when selecting a game and you must start it from XMB. In direct mode, Cobra USB Manager will launch the game directly, this may lower compatibility.PS2 Software emulator: this option appears only on not backwards compatible models. If enabled, users of these models can test ps2 original games and backups in ISO format using the PS2 software emulator.
This option is disabled by default because the software emulator doesn't have much quality; it is slow and has several problems like virtual memory card not working, graphical glitches, and hangs. In ps3 slims, it has some additional problems, like controller only working if connected to an USB port.
Once this option is enabled, users of not backwards compatible models can follow the instructions in the PS2 sections to load and make backups.
Blu-Ray region, DVD regions and PS2 software emulator settings are saved on Cobra USB internal flash.
If you have removed Cobra USB, please insert it again before saving settings.
You can use FTP to transfer files to the PS3 from your computer. To activate FTP, press L1 on Cobra USB Manager.
In the PC, use an ftp client such as FileZilla.
In host field, type the IP address of your PS3. As username, specify CBUM01234. Password can be left blank.
Factory Service Mode
Factory Service Mode is used to perform operations like downgrade.
To enter factory service mode using Cobra, follow these instructions.
Power off your PS3.Insert Cobra USB in the PS3. Make sure that it is in factory service mode (switch in right position).Turn on PS3 and press eject quickly.Blue and green LED's of Cobra will flash while booting, green led will be the final led on success. If you are on a regular ofw or cfw, the console will shut down. If you are on cobra CFW, the console will continue booting normally (unless it is semibricked, in that case it will stay on forever). In both cases, don't worry, despite that, the PS3 flag that sets factory service mode will have been written, just shutdown your PS3 manually and next time you will be in factory service mode.You are now in factory service mode. Don't connect Cobra USB while in factory service mode.
You can find tutorials on the internet to perform operations like downgrade, exiting factory service mode, etc.
Conclusion : Overall, the Cobra USB Dongle for the PS3 works as Cobra said it would. If you're still holding onto your precious 3.41 firmware, you're going to have to give it up. The Cobra Team released a Cobra 3.0 firmware pack. In this release they enabled the Cobra USB device on 3.55 via use of their own cfw. With this new firmware pack, it makes sense to no longer support 3.41. You should always be as updated as possible since older versions are no longer supported or would have compatibility issues. What I love about their custom firmware is that with the Cobra plugged in, it's jailbroken but when it's not plugged in, the custom firmware acts like an official firmware as if it was never modified.
Making backups of DVDs or Blu-Rays will require a little bit more of an effort thanks to the copy protection but the instructions are pretty straight forward. No other jailbreak dongles or known methods that I know of that allows you to backup movies from your PS3.
Own a E3Card or other jailbreak devices? I'm sure devs are currently working on reverse engineering Cobra's work to make it open sourced so that it is compatible with other dongles but with 2 releases already, it still hasn't been cracked. I guess Cobra has a good protection on it. With the PS3 scene being quiet, hopefully the Cobra Team will continue to release new and exciting features for the PlayStation 3.
3.55 isn't the latest firmware update so it will not play any of the new games the requires higher firmware until Cobra or someone jailbreaks Sony's latest firmwares. Also, there is still no access to PSN. So there is no online play. If you want online access, either forget about jailbreaking your PS3 or get a second PS3; one for jailbreaking and one for online and normal use.

Pearl Jam 'Lets It Go' In Milan
Pearl Jam is one of those bands that has international renown across the world. They have global fame and fans world round - which is, interestingly enough, a common trait they share with another entertainment superpower; Walt Disney Studios. It just so happened that last Friday night (6/20/14) those two worlds collided.
During their tour in Milan, Italy, frontman Eddie Vedder transitioned from the song 'Daughter' into a short rock-rendition of 'Let It Go' originally sung by Idina Menzel in Disney's smash hit, Frozen. Needless to say, it was a completely different experience at a Pearl Jam concert, but it just goes to show how many people this song has touched.
It's particularly interesting that the song came right in the middle of 'Daughter' considering that Vedder has two young daughters who are probably right around the age that Frozen appeals to. It's a movie about sisterly love, and believing in ones' self, things which Vedder, a well documented women's rights activist probably is right behind.
The rendition was short and sweet, and after just singing the chorus, 'Daughter' resumed once more. It was a charming and touching reminder that even rock gods can also be fathers who enjoy sitting down and watching a Disney movie with their kids too.

What is in this article?:
- Some movers and shakers in California's $1.3 billion commercial citrus industry concur it is a matter of when, not if, the deadly Huanglongbing (HLB) disease is found in the Golden State.
- The California-Arizona citrus belt is the only major citrus-growing region in the world where HLB has not reared its ugly head.
- A psyllid found in backyard citrus triggers insecticide treatments with cyfluthrin (Tempo), a foliar pyrethroid; and imidacloprid (Merit), a systemic neonicotinoid.
- Four leading factors or "horsemen" which impact California's citrus industry are markets, weather, California government regulations (estimated at $300 per acre), and diseases.
More About:
Mexico link
HLB was found in Mexico in 2009 in the Yucután Peninsula and has spread to several other areas.
"We need to keep an eye on Mexico," said Jim Cranney of the Citrus Quality Council.
Preventive efforts include a two-year partnership with Mexico to tackle the pest and disease threat on an area wide basis. The Mexicans have large trapping programs underway. The U.S. is sharing technology to compliment local control efforts.
"We want to coordinate the suppression program in Sonora and Baja California including intensive ACP testing, nursery screening, and a tight movement of plants," Cranney explained. "We want to build on the suppression efforts on the border and keep the pest bottled up in Mexico to prevent the spread."
Insecticide control
The best way to keep HLB out of California is to eliminate or minimize the vector, says Beth Grafton-Cardwell, University of California, Riverside entomologist and director of the Lindcove Research and Extension Center located near Visalia.
"Many different insecticides have good efficacy against the Asian citrus psyllid including the pyrethroid group, the neonicotinoids, older groups of organophosphates and carbonates, plus new chemicals," Grafton-Cardwell said. "All of these have the ability to kill one or more life stages of the psyllid."
The best strategy for ACP control is to utilize two different insecticides, Grafton-Cardwell says. Nearly 100 percent of current insecticide treatments are in urban backyards as the insect is not currently found in commercial citrus.
A psyllid found in the backyard triggers an insecticide treatment with two products: cyfluthrin (Tempo), a foliar pyrethroid; and imidacloprid (Merit), a systemic neonicotinoid.
CDFA has used this one-two punch since the first psyllid was first found in California in San Diego County in Summer 2008. The insect was later found in Orange, Los Angeles, and Imperial counties which triggered quarantines.
Commercial citrus
"We expect the psyllid to move into commercial citrus," Grafton-Cardwell predicts. Commercial growers have many available insecticides.
Of the foliar products, Grafton-Cardwell says pyrethroids are the best chemical class to kill the ACP. The neonicotinoid insecticide group is very effective in a systemic application. A problem lurking with some products in both groups is its broad spectrum component where the ACP and beneficial insects are both killed.
For now, the organic route for ACP control is limited.
"Organic insecticides have too short of a residual to be useful for eradication at this point," Grafton-Cardwell said. "They do not knock down the population as low as the synthetics and lack a long residual so the animal pops back up quickly."
The entomologist has an organic insecticide study underway where an oil is sprayed in the orchard. She is evaluating how frequent oil sprays could impact fruit quality and the tree's growth characteristics.
Grafton-Cardwell believes the ACP will move into commercial citrus in three phases. Phase One, which already occurred in Imperial County, involves finding several psyllids in a trap in a commercial orchard followed by insecticide treatments to suppress the infestation.
Phase Two would involve multiple site finds (backyards and commercial simultaneously) where area wide treatments would begin. Phase Three would involve psyllid finds less than nine months after previous finds. Continuous area wide treatments with up to three treatments per year could be required for insect suppression.
"In Phase 3, my initial recommendation for psyllids found in commercial citrus is to hit them hard immediately with the most effective chemicals using at least two different kinds," Grafton-Cardwell said.

We've read that art is a way to try and find a life more real than life, that we go after art to transform ourselves. Here we are, finding out about ourselves from an ancient tale, finding out how we are in 2006 from looking back a thousand years ago.
Julie Taymor: Well, "the monster" hasn't disappeared. With all the technology, you'd think communication would be better, but it isn't. I think it's worse, in a certain kind of way. We've made our little clubs and our little cultures.
Americans in particular are myopic. They're not traveling as much. When you were a college student, the next thing you would do on graduation was to take a year off and travel. That's what I did. I went to Indonesia. I stayed four years. Now, you've got to go and make sure that you get that job or become a movie star or plan your plan so you can have your merchandise, so you can -- I am telling you, it was not even remotely important to me where I lived or what I owned. And I didn't for years have a place that was my own, and I don't think that's the values of young people today at all.
Even for a very successful artist, there are setbacks; there are times when you doubt yourself. You've had some awkward moments in the last couple of weeks with this opera, with an elaborate set that didn't work as you planned at first. Can you tell us how you came through that?
Julie Taymor: Well, it was funny. I heard Ralph Nader speak earlier, and he said, "When you're in your 50s and 60s, you're more seasoned." That was the word, "more seasoned." He was talking about how you have to risk failure. Well, I suppose in the sense that I didn't have a complete mental breakdown over the last two weeks, I'm more seasoned.
What happened here? How did I allow this production to be so ambitious and a set to be created that was impossible for this opera company with this limited amount of time and this budget? I allowed my imagination to just play out. Now, as of today, I can say, "All right." Because we had an okay performance last night. It's not perfect. It will never be perfect, not this set. We don't have time. So I have to deal with my discomfort with the fact that I am a perfectionist, and I know it should be better, but what I really bow down to now is that the music and the performers sing and dance, meaning that it's good. They're good. The technical stuff is still messy, and I can't do anything about it, which is annoying, because I've done much better productions than this that way.
[ Key to Success ] Perseverance
So it's been a total nightmare. Dangerous.
We had to push to producers to postpone, which is unheard of in opera, they say. But I said, "It's safety. If you don't postpone, I'm not going to back going on that stage, because we have people on high cliffs and mountains and flying in the air, and staircases flying all around. It's too complicated." So later than sooner they decided to postpone the opening and call it two previews -- our premiere was a dress rehearsal. And we haven't had that much time to fix it, but it is definitely running now. Knock on wood. Because who knows? You know, it's human error or computer error.
[ Key to Success ] Integrity
That's part of the arts -- and scientists say this too -- that it's through failure, through disappointment, through experiment that you are able to find the theorem or the name of the fish or the right chemical.
Julie Taymor: I really do believe that if you don't challenge yourself and risk failing, that it's not interesting. This is a story that was told many times with The Lion King, but when I first created this concept, none of that brass at Disney -- except for the producer, Tom Schumacher, and one other, Peter Schneider -- really believed in it. So I said, "Fine. If you don't believe that you can put masks on people's heads and create this dual event, where you have the human and the animal simultaneously, get me the money to do it properly and I'll do a workshop. And I'll do three different kinds: I'll do my original concept, I'll do makeup and I'll do a mask. Because I've got nothing to prove. I just believe that this is the right technique for telling this story."
We did the right workshop. I set it to be on a stage with the right lighting and the costumes, because you can't judge in a fully lit rehearsal room. "I can, but you can't, because you're film people." I mean, they can't make the leap. So they need all of the advantages that they should have. When we finished, every one of the techniques worked, which of course they would, because Peking opera works, and Kabuki theater works and Javanese shadow puppetry works. And what Michael Eisner said -- God bless his soul -- he was there last night, actually. He said, "Well, they all work, and your original idea I think we should go with, because it's the most risky, and therefore the payoff, if it works, will be the biggest."
Probably even he couldn't have imagined how big that pay-off would be.

text: I woke up this morning and my left breast (outside lower edge and bottom) is sore. No signs of a clogged milk duct and no fever/malaise...etc to suggest mastitis. I fed my DS (1 year in a few days) on that side this morning and pumped as well a few hours afterwards. I got 1oz which is pretty typical. I can't feel any hard lumps either. I did notice when I was pumping and pressing the shield up against my breast (sometimes I can get a little more this way) that it made it more sore. I plan on pumping 2 more times today, and I usually feed DS on that side when I pick him up at daycare. Any ideas??

Cowon X7 vs X9 (specs comparison)
I compared the X7's with the X9's specs list and here are the differences:
Dimensions (W x H x D, in mm): 126.9 x 78.6 x 14.5 vs 114.9 x 72.5 x 12.2 (the picture above shows both players in the right proportion)
Memory Type: HDD (120gb, 160gb) vs Flash memory (8gb, 16gb, 32gb) (X9 can't be damaged as easily as the X7, but has less memory)
microSD Slot: no vs yes
Physical Buttons: power/hold, m, vol+, vol- vs power/hold, ff, rew, play/pause, vol+, vol-
Battery Life: 103h music / 10h video vs 110h music / 13h video
Audio Output (@ 16Ω): 30mW vs 29mW
jetEffect: 3 vs 5 (more Reverb settings)
G-Sensor: no vs yes
Bluetooth: yes vs no
Everything else is the same on both players.
The "Super Player" line-up (which both the X7 and the X9 belong to) is characterized by incredible battery life, so I understand why Cowon kept the screen resolution low. But why the hell did they remove the Bluetooth module? Also, why don't they offer X9s with more internal memory?
To me the X9 looks like a very minor upgrade, to some people it's probably even a downgrade, considering there's no Bluetooth module, the internal storage is lower and the screen is very low-res.
Discussion Thread
Funny enough, it's actually closer to the O2 from 2008 than to the X7 from 2011 in some aspects... same storage options (internal up to 32GB, SDHC/MicroSDHC slot), same 480x272 / 4.3" screen.
O2 supports more audio/video codecs (ALAC, TTA, MKA, etc), X9 has newer BBE enhancements (but O2 has a 10-band EQ instead of 5). X9 has obviously better battery life. Some other small differences here and there, but not that many as one would think between a player from 2008 and one from 2012. Four years have passed...

What's new at PB's Pizza al Fresco?
By M.M. Cloutier
There are a number of ways to chart recent progress at Palm Beach's Pizza al Fresco in Via Mizner, but perhaps among the most significant: French fries, which are worth doing cartwheels over if, for a long time, you hadn't been able to serve the crowd-pleaser.
Thanks to new kitchen equipment that's now fully installed, Pizza al Fresco can now, for the first time, serve fried foods, so crispy calamari fans can get their fix even though the restaurant's roasted calamari has long been delicious, perhaps along with a salad.
In addition to fried calamari (served with spicy tomato sauce) and the French fries (or more precisely, shoestring fries served with a new organic beef-burger offering), you'll find cod fritters at Pizza al Fresco.
All of the fried fare is prepared in zero-trans-fat vegetable oil, notes says Pizza al Fresco's general manager and partner Jose-Luis Duran.
Other evidence of the restaurant's menu expansion: Grilled tuna is among new entrees, and the wine list has grown to 34 bottle selections, with 16 by-the-glass pours.
And as far as the hallmark wood-burning brick-oven pizza, Pizza al Fresco now has 24 different kinds. And counting.

Heard a girl on the radio who was born in the USA and raised in China. She had just voted for the first time and had voted for Obama because "he was cute." She was then looking forward to voting in the Chinese elections. There is an industry in our country where women from other nations come to our country until they have their baby, then they return to their home country. Eighteen years later, a young adult who may have not been in our country since their birth is able to send in an absentee ballot and vote for people and on issues for which they have little knowledge. It is not just the Chinese, there are a number of countries doing this.
I am wondering if we need to take another look at our laws making infants of foreign nationals automatic citizens. Maybe a clause on entrance visas waiving automatic rights to the infants born to women who are pregnant on arrival. It just seems wrong that a person can be born here and then never spend any time with Americans, or learn anything about America, and still have a voice in our political system. Immigrants have to take classes and learn about America before they can vote. I don't know what needs, or even if anything should, be done. I just know I find this situation uncomfortable.
How about a more moderate proposal that would state that even if a person is born here, they must have been a resident of the USA for at least half of their life times (or even a decade at the least) before they become eligible to vote in our elections?
This would at the very least :give them some skin in the game" as the saying goes?
@ Michael wme too.
Thank you for the replies,
I said I don't know what should be done or if, under our Constitution, it should be done. However, I would love to see as many thoughts on it as possible. It could be this is one of those 'impossible' issues I have mentioned in other posts and I should just not think about it.
But I would like to hear the opinions of others on this.
Michael, are you sure you didn't mean to say 0.56% of my posts are reasonable? I was recently informed there might be horsepoop in them. :D
Respectfully, with another weak attempt at humor.
I don't think there is a significant number of these babies being born in the USA so I doubt they could affect your elections one way or the other. However, I understand the 'anomaly'
I suppose my daughter fits the description you bring up. My 4 yr old daughter just recently moved to Austria. She's British because she was born in Britain, but only because I had been living in the UK for at least 5 years prior with the equivalent of 'Leave to Remain'. All other EU member states are free to travel to other member states to live and work and thus automatically have this 'leave to remain' – 'leave' in this instance meaning permission! New, rather, latest members are now being subject to caveats though.
Very, very few countries like the USA now allow babies born in a country to automatically obtain that country's nationality through jus soli – ' right of the soil'. It's usually conditional.
At any rate, if my daughter now ignores all matters British, except elections, she could in theory also vote for certain British elections without having some 'skin in the game'. Better yet, she's also obtained South African & Portuguese nationalities through 'Jus sanguinis' – right of blood. She could also, in theory, vote in some of their elections without some 'skin in their games'. But really, how many people are in the same category as my daughter and the girl you heard on the radio?
That said, I don't think it illiberal to suggest setting up a condition for the cases you bring up, i.e. tourists' children shouldn't be able to obtain citizenship through 'jus soli'.
The trouble is, of course, the other cases that is dear to conservatives hearts :babies born to undocumented migrants.
My mother was 7 months pregnant when she entered South Africa. My eldest brother was born in SA without having its citizenship automatically given to him as my parents hadn't yet received their 'permanent resident' status yet.
But they were documented. Later, when they did obtain it and my other siblings and I were born, we were automatically given SA citizenship.
In your country undocumented migrants are a political hot potato and it is effectively disenfranchisement if you change your legislation now to affect the status of their children born in the USA.
Dear Omq R,
Thank you for the excellent post. You provide the kind of feedback I seek to make up my own mind.
The only thing I would offer to you is the story on tv news that first alerted me to this concern.
I hope you find this interesting.
Thank you for your excellent reply and some insight on how other nations deal with this matter.
there are many foreign citizens that live here, work here, own property here, pay taxes here. Since the bulk of our votes has to do with taxes and what they're used for, don't you think that these legal, legimtimate foreign citizens that carry their weight deserve some kind of representation for their tax dollars and loyalty?
Funny, I heard a story like that, American mothers coming to give birth in Canada so their kid wouldn't have to serve in the American army later.
^and since corporations are people too, with free speech, shouldn't we be sponsoring a constitutional amendment to give corporations a vote, perhaps even more than one vote. it might be time for one man/one vote to go. with a third candidate running it doesn't even work.

Goliad County is announcing a three-month effort to control hogs for the Texas Department of Agriculture "Hog Out" feral hog abatement program. The county entered the statewide contest with the approval of the Goliad County Commissioners' Court and the program is being administered through the Goliad County Wildlife Management Association. Grants will be awarded to participating counties, Goliad County placed fifth last year and received $5,000.
The WMA has decided to use the proceeds from last year's success solely towards bounties. Bounties have become the most popular means of distributing the "Hog Out" proceeds and are a very effective against managing our feral hog population.
Feral hogs are not a game or non-game species in Texas. Instead, feral hogs are considered exotic livestock as described by the Texas Parks & Wildlife code. They actually fall under the ownership of the landowner and not the citizens of the state. Because of this distinction you can control feral hogs on your property without a hunting license.
If you are hunting feral hogs for trophy or food, trapping or setting snares a hunting license is required. TPWD outlines license requirements and specific legal hunting methods in its annual hunting and fishing regulations publication, the Outdoor Annual. There is not a bag limit nor is there a season. It is legal to hunt at night with the use of a spotlight and night vision, but it is a good idea to call your local game warden in advance and possibly the Sheriff's office. It is also legal to use suppressors (silencers) on firearms to hunt feral hogs, but an Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms form must be completed at purchase. Also just recently a new law went into effect that made it legal for landowners to have a third party hunt on their property out of a helicopter, now making it affordable for the landowner to contract one of the most effective methods to control feral hogs. However, a permit through TPWD to hunt feral hogs by air is still and has been required.
The Texas Animal Health Commission regulates the movement of feral hogs, holding facilities and some aspects of hunting preserves. If you are not transporting hogs to an approved holding facility, or to slaughter and you are crossing county lines you will need a permit to do so, basically making it illegal to release feral hogs once trapped. Ironically, it is still legal to domesticate feral hogs, to do so please contact TAHC. And it is still illegal to poison feral hogs, a law regulated through US Fish and Wildlife.
That makes a half dozen government agencies that play some part in feral hogs not counting the Legislature, lobbyists, policy groups and individuals asking for legislation!
To claim a $5 bounty, bring a hog tail to the Extension Office, 329 W Franklin. For more information on feral hogs go to our Coping with Feral Hogs website, feralhogs.tamu.edu/. We also have additional information in the office on rules for this year's "Hog Out" or by calling 361-645-8204.

Chester-based singer/songwriter Bill Malkin performs as a solo artist, in a duo with John Sylvester (Malkin & Sylvester), and with 'The band Wagon' … an informal collective of musical friends, the core of which is currently John Sylvester (keyboards), Phil Bradley (harmonica) and Paul Reaney (bass and guitar)… as well as (from time to time) Chris Lee (bass and mandolin), Dave Russell (fiddle and bass)and Graham Bellinger (guitar and harmonica).
'Bill possesses that all too rare gift of bringing people and history to life for us in his song writing. The articulacy with which he relates to an audience provides the perfect canvas for his work which is well observed, intelligently written and most of all interesting for the listener. The craft of song writing is in safe hands' – Anthony John Clarke
'Well crafted and seriously catchy songs all backed by superb players……..hats off !' – Paul Reaney (Harbour Moon)
'Over the years the music industry and their punters have overdosed on the use of categories, using words like trends and genre with clear intent of influencing and thereby conditioning people's tastes for their commercial gain … as with the predatory fashion industry, founded on the fear of being seen to be dissimilar. True diversity, while recognising and encouraging cultural uniqueness,transcends any separation and cherishes a universality and oneness of music. The music of the group Bill Malkin and the Band Wagon goes a long way to overcome these prejudices.'

My son is now 5 months old *on the 21st of May* but one thing that I wanted to bring up was when my son was a newborn it took my husband a few months to want to hold him and kiss him and treat him like another human being. Our son freaked my husband out a little. It made me really upset because we always talked about having a bunch of kids and I started to doubt whether that was such a good idea. I cried about it, tried to talk to him about it and the only thing that ever ended up happening is me crying even more. He told me that he loved our son but he didn't even know him and it wasn't love at first sight ~ he would only hold him if I asked him to.
If this is happening to you - please know that in a few months time you won't be able to tear your spouse and your baby away from each other. My husband is all over my DS - he reads to him before bed - he feeds him, bathes him, takes walks with him, and dresses him, changes his diaper. It's so cute to walk in on them having a ''conversation''. My DS coos at him and my husband talks back hahaha. Priceless
I think since we carry our babies in our bodies for 9 months and we breastfeed - we fall in love with our babies before they are even born. Some of us have been dreaming of having babies since we were little girls - give your spouse some time.

Abstract: Brewer, CB, Bentley, JP, Hallam, JS, Woodyard, CD, and Waddell, DE. Use of analgesics for exercise-associated pain: prevalence and predictors of use in recreationally trained college-aged students. J Strength Cond Res 28(1): 74–81, 2014—The objectives of this study were to examine the use of the analgesics for the relief of exercise-associated pain (EAP) and to examine personal and/or exercise characteristics that might potentially predict such use in recreationally trained college-aged individuals. Recreationally trained college-aged students (N = 263) were invited to complete a self-administered 16-item questionnaire concerning personal exercise habits and analgesic use for EAP. The primary dependent variable was analgesic use for EAP, and additional items sought to characterize patterns and behaviors related to the use. Descriptive statistics and frequencies were calculated for all items, and logistic regression was used to evaluate the ability of 4 variables to predict analgesic use for EAP: gender, length of time performing regular exercise, weekly frequency of aerobic exercise, and weekly frequency of resistance exercise. Approximately 36% of respondents reported analgesic use for EAP, with data indicating acute use for what is generally acute pain. With predictors considered individually, gender was a significant predictor, with female respondents being more likely to use analgesics for EAP (p = 0.04). With all predictors considered concurrently, the model did not significantly contribute to the prediction of use in this sample. Potential for misuse was highlighted by a large percentage of users who described themselves as very unlikely to follow label directions and more likely to take a dose exceeding recommendations. In light of research that reports a potential detriment to muscular regeneration when analgesics are consumed with exercise, it is important to be cognizant of the use of these drugs in individuals striving to improve muscular fitness. Coaches and trainers should educate athletes about the associated risks and caution those who may unnecessarily take analgesics.

This year, the Golden State Warriors have beaten the Miami Heat, New York Knicks and Chicago Bulls. When you hear this, you would assume that they are an elite team. However, that isn't the case.
Injuries have plagued guys such as Stephen Curry and Kwame Brown, causing a gap on both the offensive and defensive part of the game—not to mention other key players who were expected to make an impact and have been performing mediocre at best.
The Warriors are a promising team that has certainly improved on the defensive side this year, but they need to step up their game if they want to make it to the playoffs anytime soon. If the disappointment continues, the strong Warriors fanbase will have to undergo yet another depressing season.

Oh, please, Keith!!!!!!!!
Let just this ONE THING go right for the dudes. Let them have at least one happy memory to recall during their twilight years in the Old Dudes Home,
I'm with Paco.
Charlie Brown never got to kick the football. Lucy always pulled it away. We must make peace with it … the dudes will have that football pulled away and will land flat on their backs ….
I'm going to repeat what I just posted on another comic strip site today, because 2 in 1 day is just too much for me…
There is a trend in comics these days to break the 4th wall, but it is becoming very frequent in many comic strips. It's too much. I liked my comics the way they were — characters oblivious. Thank you.
Why am I hearing the suspenders music from Jaws?
Aww, Dude, com'on. I hope they're wrong. That'd just be bogus. Let 'em have an excellent adventure this time.
Interesting twist- cartoon characters acknowledging their writer.
Does anybody else smell the impending automobile breakdown in the middle of nowhere?
still cruel and twisted a year later Dude.
get over it or quit reading it…your problems are now all solved so you can make your way to washington and help solve theirs…
Cue the music from Dragnet…dum de dum dum dummmmmm….
one word' Murphy
So I'm not allowed to like the comics in general but make a minor comment about a specific theme? Why so nasty? I was not attacking anyone personally so there was no need for you to do that to me.
