*WARNING - I may or may not know what I am talking about.
When I read the title, I was thinking "Big Caliber". Then upon reading...my daily carry is big compared to the OP.
Before I started CC, I took my .44 mag with me on road trips. The only time the long guns went with me were on trips to my cabin, and that was just so I could shoot. Never thought of more frequent long gun carry. I suppose my Kel-Tec Sub 2000 would be a good one to transport. Compact and decent effective range for a handgun round.
I don't own any assault rifles. I have a Mosin and a PSL. If I am going to be shooting at range, then it is going to be slow aimed shots, with decent followup time (not with the Mosin). Even if it were a close in encounter, I know the difference between cover and concealment and what my handgun rounds will penetrate, and am not deterred by a known threat behind a car, other than brick wall, or most trash cans baring a dumpster...in which case I am skipping rounds underneath to motivate the BG into a better position for a stop shot. But if they are that deep in cover, then I am working my arse off on vacating the area ASAP.
As a civilian, I can not imagine ever having to engage in a shootout with anyone/thing at range (50m+). If I do, then the civil reset button has been pushed, anarchy is in full swing and it is every person for themselves, in which case I am loaded up with as much as I can carry and am heading for remote mountain areas.

Ha, when you said big gun I thought you meant BIG gun. My EDC is my S&W M&P .40c. I feel like I'm pretty proficient with it and always have 19 rounds on me (9+1 and a spare mag). If I was ever taking a long trip within the state to somewhere I felt unsafe - and I had to go - I've got my Remington 870 Express. I don't know about other states, but my OK license to carry actually allows me to keep a shotgun or rifle in my vehicle, magazine-loaded and not chambered.

My Glock 23 is my every day off duty carry. In my trunk is a Remington 870. Maglight, pepper spray and ASP baton on in the drivers side door. Better to have and not need than need and not have.

My Kel-Tec PLR16 isn't really "big" but it stows easy and carries half a dozen 30 rnd. mags. of hollow points. .223 seems to be available everywhere these days. All this fits in a small backpack which I can sling on one shoulder and fire without removing from the pack.
I don't usually change what I carry when I am away from home. I rotate 3 when at home, but when traveling only take 2. I will carry extra ammo for the just in case when traveling but that is it.
Just remember that shot placement is much more important with what you carry than how big a bang you get with each trigger pull.

I usually carry my full-size H&K USP .40 for fall/cold weather carry. But if I use a rig, say a fannypack or some other rig that can conceal either one of my 2 guns (my other gun is the much smaller S&W Model 457 .45) and I am going out at night or working in my own yard regardless of the season or climate, I would prefer my USP, which is not only fairly large, but also have some decent firepower (13+1 rds.).
I only have one pistol so far so it's what I carry at every appropriate opportunity, a government size 1911 at 4:30 and a 8-rounder reload at 8 o'clock in a nylon magpouch.

Semi-finalists for this year representing Stephens County include Nikolaus Adams of Eastanollee in Welding and Joining Technology, Beverly Edwards of Martin in Industrial Systems Technology,and Ashley Jordan of Martin in Machine Tool/CNC.
The GOAL Program is designed to spotlight outstanding achievement by students in the Georgia Technical College System and to emphasize the importance of technical education in today's global workplace.
GOAL candidates are nominated by an instructor and must carry at least a 3.0 GPA.
Local GOAL winners are selected at each of the state's technical colleges.
Then, through a series of competitive interviews, the top student of the system is identified.
The first round of interviews with faculty and staff has been completed, and the semi-finalists will be interviewed again by the Vice Presidents and Directors at North Georgia Tech.
After that, four finalists will be announced at the GOAL Breakfast on Tuesday, January 14, 2014 and those four will then be interviewed by members of the community who will choose the winner for North Georgia Technical College.
North Georgia Tech said its semi-finalists are also eligible to be the recipient of the Marlowe-Evans GOAL Scholarship.
The Scholarship, founded in 2005 by Jim Marlowe and Bob Evans, is given to one of the GOAL finalists at North Georgia Technical College who exemplifies the spirit of Bob Evans and Jim Marlowe through their community service and willingness to help others.

We are pleased to announce that Riding for the Disabled has won our impact story competition. Entrants were asked to describe their charity's impact in no more than 500 characters for a chance to win a bespoke animated video produced by Scriberia, one of Europe's leading visual communications companies.
We received over 280 entrants and our judges were impressed with the standard of entries. Vicky Browning, chief executive of CharityComms, said: "The ability to encapsulate what a charity is all about, and the difference it makes, should never be under-rated. People's heads are moved by numbers and statistics, but their hearts (and wallets) are touched by stories. Being able to tell your story in under 500 characters in a compelling way is a challenge, so it's great to see all the competition entrants rise to the challenge in such inspiring and moving style."
Fellow judge Zoe Amar, head of marketing and business development at Lasa said: 'I was hugely impressed by the quality of the entries, which show how charities are continuing to transform people's lives for the better everyday despite operating in very challenging times."
The third judge, David Mills, editor of the Guardian voluntary sector network said: "The ability to tell stories effectively and succinctly has never been more important and many of the entries showed real skill and flair to tell their charity's story in just 500 characters."
Scriberia's bespoke video for Riding for the Disabled will be published on the voluntary sector network in due course.
Riding for the Disabled's winning entry:
I walk beside a profoundly autistic teenager on his pony, he is tense and stiff, he doesn't see me. Absorbing the pony's rhythmic gait he begins to relax but despite my encouragement and praise I don't exist. Suddenly, he looks at me, his expression doesn't change but he raises his hand and gives me a thumbs up. For seconds we share the same world, I wish he knew the joy that moment gives me - perhaps he does. For every 1 person who rides with RDA another 4 are waiting - RDA needs to expand.

Missing People
A lot can happen in a minute. A sister, mum, son, can go from absent to missing. It becomes official. You go from 'thinking' it, to 'knowing' it. In a minute you have lost someone you love. They are gone, leaving a hole in your heart no one can fix except them. And you never saw it coming. In a minute you can also pick up a phone and dial a 6 digit number. Someone will answer, even at 3.01am. In a minute you can move from despair to hope and back again. And this time we are there with you.
The Tree Council
On a crisp, bright day in 1973, a boy went to plant a sapling to grow, big, where an elm tree had stood. Forty years later, the man walked out with his daughter. "I planted that tree", he told her as they collected the seed of the tall and graceful tree to raise a sapling. The Tree Council makes this story happen. Its community action programme, grants for planting and 8,000 volunteer Tree Wardens make our towns and countryside greener. More trees for everyone, in trust for our children.
Brentwood Mind
Imagine if everybody with a mental health problem had a blue face. Now imagine if all the blue faced people were treated differently when looking for a job, or seeking medical help, or asking for a friends support. Now imagine a happier society where all the blue faced people are included and feel better after a simple phrase like 'How are you feeling?' Take a moment to learn about mental wellness by visiting brentwoodmind.org.uk and help put a smile on a blue face.
The Sussex MS Treatment Centre
Our centre provides therapies, classes, support; counselling and weekly social events which help reduce isolation and improve physical & mental health. 200 people a week come through our doors to use our services. Our volunteers run many of the services, many of whom are trustees who help drive the expansion of our services; these are people who have MS themselves, so our centre grows with the needs and requirements of the people who use it.

There's no right and wrong answer, because every person will have a different experience.
Even with dyno tuning, variations in ambient air temperature and humidity, as well as altitude will affect mileage and performance.
Each person's driving habits are different as well. I've put 8,000 miles on my 2012, I'd guess probably 60% city and 40% highway. I've NEVER seen more than 35mpg, even on trips that were 100% highway, driving with the cruise control set the entire trip.
*I do have a heavy foot, so this is most likely my fault.
I tried 93 octane for 3 tanks of fuel and did NOT notice any improvement over 87.
After that, I switched back to 87 and removed the cover on the air intake.
Despite higher intake air temps, I did see an average gain of about 4mpg over 8 consecutive tanks of 87 octane, as well as better throttle response in the low end. Throttle response is better in the high end also, but not as dramatic a change as in low end. The engine stumbles less now as well, as long as I can get that stupid DCT transmission to downshift appropriately.
Next, I plan on trying another 3 tanks of 93 octane with the cover removed.

'Tango' inspires at Gangplank BY LYNETTE CARRINGTON
The community is being asked to assist with an art project at Gangplank in Chandler honoring survivors of serious illness. "Resiliency Roses" will provide the base for public art installation called "Push Down and Tango," which also pays homage to those with chronic conditions. "This idea evolved from my own experience with tango," says Crystal Daigle, artist. "I always wanted to take lessons but thought it was beyond my reach due to my chronic pain." She is a cancer survivor who has also lived with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia for many years. "I decided to follow my heart and began lessons last summer. It's been great for my health. I want viewers to think about dance as a healing activity, too," she says. Prospective participants are invited to make roses are Daigle's "maker parties" from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday, July 7, and 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday, July 14, during "Craft Hack." Both parties will take place at Gangplank, 260 S. Arizona Ave., north of Frye Road. "I need a lot of people...20 people on each one of those nights," notes Daigle. "Push Down and Tango" will be on display at the Mill Avenue Post Office
in Tempe from Aug. 14 to Dec. 10 along with artwork from Joan Baron, Ann Morton and Peter Bugg. The collection of four installations is entitled "Minimum Daily Requirements." Daigle's sculptural, site-specific portion of the art installation was designed to fit the space of a particular window at the post office. "I thought about who's going to be looking at it and who is going to be walking by there and what kind of impact the piece could have on the community. Part of that is that the audience down there is a lot of ASU students and their families and also Tempe families. I took some photographs intentionally of ASU students who dance tango because I wanted there to be a directed tie-in between ASU and the piece," states Daigle. "Craft Hack" is the second Monday of each month. "We've been meeting for at least three years now at Gangplank," says Eileen Kane, who together with Anne Watson Barber and Stephanie Liebold coordinate the event. "Crystal was attracted to something that we have at Gangplank called 'Creative Mondays.'" On that night, Gangplank is open late to accommodate various artists and Daigle met up with the "Craft Hack" group and it turned out that it was a

The Arizona Classic Jazz Society is holding its annual Jazz Jamboree to celebrate Dixieland music. The event will be from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, July 27, in San Marcos Ballroom of the Crowne Plaza San Marcos Golf Resort, One San Marcos Pl., Chandler; and will welcome fans of the music, musicians themselves or anyone who wants to learn what the ACJS is all about. Dixieland music, also known as early jazz, dates from around the 1890s. It is derived from a melding of styles of blues, piano rags, gospels and marches. The style flourished in New Orleans, and most prominently features the clarinet, trumpet, trombone, tuba, banjo and drums. The ACJS works to preserve and promote the musical style through monthly performances, a festival every November and more. The Jazz Jamboree is a great opportunity for
professional development and advancement of women crime writers to achieve equality in the industry.

Local headliner at Outliars Award-winning funny man Rick Olson from Chandler will take the stage at the Outliars Comedy Club Mesa Friday, July 11. He will be the new location's first local headliner. The Mesa venue is located at 1666 S. Dobson Rd. Olson will also perform Saturday, July 12, at the Glendale location in the Renaissance Hotel, 9495 W. Coyotes Blvd. Tickets for either show are $10. Olson has performed at venues such as the Flappers Comedy Club, Tempe Improv, The Comedy Spot and The Comedy Store. Combining a "fat kid" persona, keen observations and a knack for sarcasm, Olson has embraced comedy ever since working for AIG during the economic collapse—he notes that perhaps he's "too big to fail,"
too. The Outliars Comedy Club Mesa consistently books some of the top talent in the nation and consistently sells out. "We want to give the community a chance to see these guys before they leave us to go on to do great things. We've already sent people off to work with "The Colbert Report" in New York, Second City in Chicago and L.A. Rick is one of those guys we would like to see in the comedy stratosphere. He does the work and he is on his way. We are glad to have him here while we have him," says Dave Thurston, comedy instructor and founder of the Outliars.

Award-winning group at MAC Nickel Creek, a Grammy Awardwinning musical trio who went on hiatus in 2007 and recently reunited, will stop at the Mesa Arts Center for a show on Thursday, Aug. 28. A special guest, soon to be announced, will open for the show. Nickel Creek features Chris Thile (mandolin and vocals), Sara Watkins (fiddle and vocals) and Sean Watkins (guitar and vocals). The group went on an "indefinite hiatus" in 2007, but recently reunited and began touring in April. The group's new album, "A Dotted Line," debuted on the Billboard 200 at No. 7, the band's highest chart position to date. Formed in 1989 when Thile and Sara Watkins were 8 and Sean Watkins (Sara's older brother) was 12, Nickel Creek earned a following playing the festival
circuit for nearly a decade. The band's self-titled debut album was released in 2000 to commercial and critical acclaim. Nickel Creek released two more records: 2002's "This Side," which won a Best Contemporary Folk Album Grammy, and 2005's "Why Should the Fire Die?" Beginning as bluegrass child prodigies, Nickel Creek grew into an acoustic band known for its breadth of musical influences—from Bach to Radiohead—and its surprisingly large sound on stage. The New York Times described its music as "postmodern" and "polystylistic." The band wanted to do something special to mark its upcoming 25th anniversary, and together produced six co-written new songs, one song by Thile, one by Sean Watkins, and two covers: Sam Phillips' "Where Is Love

Alexakis celebrates the '90s with 'Summerland' BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI
In 2012, Everclear singer-guitarist Art Alexakis saw a resurgence of 1990s music—especially bands from that decade who were still putting out albums. So he founded the Summerland Tour, which features Everclear, Soul Asylum, Eve 6 and Spacehog this year. (See accompanying story about Soul Asylum.) "It's a great opportunity for people who really love '90s music—rock 'n' roll and guitar heavy bands; bands that had big hits back in the day who are still out there chasing the carrot," Alexakis says. "The first year wasn't so much, but the last two years really have been. I think it's going to blow up the next couple years. People are paying attention to '90s music; '90s everything, actually." Another reason Alexakis set up the tour is simply because the music is fun. "There's a sense of nostalgia to it," he says. "There's a sense of great sounding, professional rock bands that kick (butt) and play with a lot of passion. That, to me, is worth the price of admission." The four-band show is completed in three hours. Alexakis requires the acts on the tour to play the hits, but new songs are welcome. "There's time for everyone to play an awesome set that makes you want more," he says. "There's the old adage of the pop song—people wanting more. I love songs that I want to hear again. When it's fading out, I want to hear it again. That's what this tour's about." Everclear, who already has a new album "in the can," as they say, is playing a new track from the collection called "The Man Who Broke His Own Heart." The record is expected to be out around March. "People seem to really get into it," Alexakis says about the song. "I get a lot of great feedback. It's going to be a fun record to do. It's kind of dark. It's kind of heavy. "I want to be playing rock 'n' roll until I'm 90. With two daughters, I'm going to be paying for college for the next 20 years. I'll be singing these songs until I don't have any teeth."

Soul Asylum frontman-guitarist Dave Pirner had reservations about joining the '90s-heavy Summerland tour with Spacehog, Eve 6 and creators Everclear. But he warmed up to the idea as soon as he kicked off the jaunt, which comes to the Marquee in Tempe on Tuesday, July 15. "By about the third show, I was saying, 'Wow this works. It just works,'" Pirner says. "The crew is good at getting the bands on and off the stage real quick. And they're trying to give people as many bands for their buck, or however that expression goes." Pirner—whose band scored hits with "Black Gold," "Runaway Train" and "Somebody to Shove"—says he's impressed with the kindness of his tourmates. "It's a little bit of a rock 'n' roll circus," Pirner says. Pirner and his fellow Soul Asylum musicians—drummer Michael Bland, bassist Winston Roye and guitarist Justin Sharbono—have just wrapped up a circus of its own. They just wrapped up recording the follow up to 2012's "Delayed Reaction." "Hopefully (it will be released) sooner than later, before the end of SEE SOUL ASYLUM PAGE 71

CCA hosting auditions for 25th anniversary party
Auditions for young rockers
Tryouts held July 11; winners perform at weekend celebration Chandler Center for the Arts has teamed up with Rock 'n' Roll High School to search for the best undiscovered talent in the Valley to perform as part of a "Plugged In" concert during the CCA's 25th season anniversary launch party. The weekend celebration will take place Aug. 22-24. Two auditions, featuring 20 bands, will be held for the "Plugged In" concert. The first was held on Thursday, July 3, at the Hard Rock Café in downtown Phoenix. The search continues from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Friday, July 11, at Alice Cooperstown. Bands of all genres are welcome to audition. The majority of band members must be under 21 with none being older than 25. Bands will perform two songs in front of an impartial panel of judges comprised of members of the local music scene. The top nine bands selected to perform at "Plugged In" will be announced at the end of the audition at Alice Cooperstown on July 11. The aspiring bands auditioning were selected by members of the "Plugged In" committee, a youth committee comprised of members from the Chandler Youth Action Committee and musicians from Rock 'n' Roll High School. "This will be a great opportunity for the community to see some of the best young bands performing in Phoenix today," says Steve Berg, owner of Rock 'n' Roll High School. "The Phoenix area has some of the best
young bands in the country and 'Plugged In' will prove that. Having these kids perform in prominent venues such as the Hard Rock Cafe, and Alice Cooperstown will be a great experience as they compete to perform in front of a larger crowd at Chandler Center for the Arts." Chandler Center for the Arts will officially launch its 25th anniversary season with a weekend celebration of multiple performances, interactive activities and more from Aug. 22 through Aug. 24. The "Plugged In" concert will be held 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. Friday, Aug. 22, at the Chandler Center for the Arts. A diverse blend of nine bands, from emerging to seasoned, will showcase its musical talents in 20-minute presentations. Performing bands will receive a stipend, a professionally created PR kit, in-studio recording and video of the concert. "This launch party is a very special weekend to and for the residents of Chandler and the region," says Michelle Mac Lennan, general manager of the Chandler Center for the Arts. "Partnering with Rock 'n' Roll High School is a great way to inspire and motivate these young aspiring musicians while also serving as an educational opportunity."

Boston finds 'Life, Love and Hope' in new music BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI
Boston guitarist/vocalist Gary Pihl doesn't remember much from his days of living in Phoenix as a sixth grader, but as he's aged, he's been able to further explore the Grand Canyon State. When he's not touring with Boston— who performs Wednesday, July 23, at the AVA Amphitheater in Tucson, and Friday, July 25, at the Comerica Theatre in Phoenix—he indulges in photography. "One of my hobbies is photography," Pihl says during a recent phone interview. "I love it up there in the northeast corner—Monument Valley, Painted Desert and Canyon de Chelly. "It's just spectacular country that makes for some spectacular photos. If you're driving around and you have a rental car, there will be stations in Navajo. I always thought that was interesting, too. It gives you a flavor of the area." Touring with Boston allows Pihl to explore plenty of the United States. These days, the classic rock band is gigging behind its 2013 album "Life, Love and Hope." More than a decade in the making, "Life, Love and Hope" features 11 tracks embodying the classic Boston sound, as well as the latest in the evolution of singer-multi-instrumentalist Tom Scholz's musical artistry. On the road, Scholz and Pihl are joined by Tommy DeCarlo (lead vocals, percussion, keyboards), David Victor (guitar, vocals), Kimberley Dahme (guitar, flute, vocals), Tracy Ferrie (bass guitar, vocals), Jeff Neal (drums, percussion, vocals) and Curly Smith (drums, percussion/vocals). One to eschew modern technology, Scholz recorded "Life, Love and Hope" on analog tape, giving the album a warmer feeling. Pihl says the band admires that fans love to sing along with hits like "More Than a Feeling" and "Amanda," even though it has released new tunes. "There's no better feeling in the world when we're playing one of the old songs and people are smiling, singing along, waving cellphones—instead of lighters— back and forth," he says. "There are artists out there who say, 'Oh my gosh. If I have to play that song one more time, I'll shoot myself.' That's not the case with us. We're all just loving doing it. I appreciate the fact that people still want to hear it. How lucky can we be?"
RETURNING TO PHOENIX: Boston guitarist/vocalist Gary Pihl is a one-time Phoenix resident. The band returns to the state to play a show in Tucson on July 23 and Phoenix on July 25. Submitted photo
One of his favorite songs to perform is "Walk On," a tune that he calls "very challenging, musically. "It's a long song, eight or nine minutes or something," he says. "It has a lot of pieces to it. There are some tough guitar playing, but Tom does a wonderful organ solo." He says he feels that a lot of Boston's music is pretty intricate. "I certainly think there's a lot of musicality in there," Pihl says. "They may sound like simple songs, where fans may say, 'Gee, I can sing along with that.' But there's a lot going on in the background— the guitar parts, the vocal harmonies. All seven of us on stage sing so we can get a pretty good choral sound when we really try at it." When Pihl isn't taking photographs or touring with Boston, he's performing with December People, a charity act that, naturally, only plays around the winter holidays. "It's traditional songs but in the style
of our favorite classic rock bands," he says with a laugh. "We'll do 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town' that sounds like ZZ top. Or we'll start a song with an acoustic guitar that sounds like The Who doing 'Pinball Wizard," but instead of 'Pinball Wizard,' we'll sing 'Joy to the World.' It's all for fun. My whole career is fun." Boston plays the Ava Amphitheater at Casino del Sol, 5655 W. Valencia Rd., Tucson, at 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 23. Tickets are $30 to $375. For more information, call (855) 765-7829 or visit www.casinodelsolresort.com. Boston and Cheap Trick perform at 8 p.m. Friday, July 25, at the Comerica Theatre, 400 W. Washington St., Phoenix. Tickets are $35 to $95. For more information, call (800) 745-3000 or visit www.ticketmaster.com. Christina Fuoco-Karasinski is the executive editor of the SanTan Sun News.

Arizona Opera meets fundraising goal The Arizona Opera has raised more than $500,000 to match a challenge grant posed by an anonymous donor, according to Arizona Opera General Director Ryan Taylor. The combined efforts have resulted in the second consecutive "Million Dollar May," in which the company has raised more than $1 million in a blitz campaign, the first achieved in 2013, when Taylor took the helm of the opera company last April. Contributions have come in from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, as well as Japan, Canada and Austria, with New Hampshire being the final state to complete the nationwide effort. The campaign was supported by 100 percent of the company's board of directors and staff as well as donors from within the organization's orchestra, chorus and larger artistic community worldwide. "It has been absolutely overwhelming to receive support from all over the world; artists, patrons, friends, family—all people who care about our community and our art and want to see it thrive," Taylor says. "One of the most meaningful moments for me was receiving a $50 donation from a serviceman stationed in Japan, who gave a gift to 'support the people that make home worth fighting for.' We have a solid board of directors, dedicated staff, incredibly talented artists and an unbelievably passionate group of supporters from around the world who constantly remind us why we continue to tell stories worth singing across this amazing state." The $1 million fundraising achievement comes on the heels of April's announcement that CopperPoint Mutual signed on as a multi-season Presenting Sponsor for Arizona Opera, a major milestone enabling the company to eliminate a large portion of its accumulated deficit. Including the original $500,000 matching gift, the 2014 Million Dollar May Campaign reached $1,013,582.91 by 12 a.m. June 30, with gifts from 325 donors. The Arizona Opera's 2014-15 season will begin in the fall, including the first mariachi opera, "Cruzar la Cara de La Luna" to open in October, as well as Mozart's "The Magic Flute" and Donizetti's "The Daughter of the Regiment."

How three local bands stack up to national acts BY CHRISTINA CALDWELL
Party Gardens
Getting into the world of Phoenix's local music scene can be a daunting task. You have to circumnavigate the hipsters, pick out the poseurs and get to the heart of why people make and listen to music—because they actually freaking love it. You don't need to be part of the too-cool-for-school crowd to love local music, and there are dozens of local acts that are just waiting for their moment in the national spotlight. Don't let casino cover bands fool you—these original artists are the real deal.
Genre: Psychedelic surf, indie rock Who they are: Jake Brennan, Sean Brennan, David Moroney, Greg Muller, Paul Waxman Sounds like: Best Coast, The Strokes Your ďŹ rst listen: "Eat Sunlightâ€? Why they rule: These guys are a supergroup of local bands of the past and present. Members of Dear and the Headlights, What Laura Says and Wooden Indian all make a home in Party Gardens. Plus, they have a sound totally unique to them. Part beach rock, part psychedelic, part lo-ďŹ , it harkens back to '60s Venice Beach without going full Morrison. They have obscenely catchy hooks that don't venture into the realm of pop.
Black Carl Genre: Blues rock, soul rock Who they are: Emma Pew, John Krause, Chad Leonard, Matthew Noakes, Ian Woodward Sounds like: Janis Joplin, Alabama Shakes Your ďŹ rst listen: "Hussyâ€? Why they rule: It's hard to believe that Pew's soulful, powerful voice comes out of a little white girl. She commands the stage like she's been doing it for 20 years. The rest of the Black complements her and is happy to play second ďŹ ddle, knowing what a talent they have on their hands in Pew. Still, it's not like the rest of Black Carl is small beans. They're the internal groove of the band, rife with funky bass and sexy guitar.
Mergence Genre: Blues rock Who they are: Adam Bruce, Yod Paul, Brandon Shupe, Jason Roedl Sounds like: Cold War Kids, The Black Keys Your first listen: "Me And My Family vs. The Robots� Why they rule: Mergence is a local band with staying power. Since its 2010 debut, it has been winning over fans young and old with its classic rockinspired blues rock tunes and playful stage presence. Taking influences from Led Zeppelin and The Beatles doesn't mean it has totally adopted its sound. Mergence twists classic

Experience Hendrix performing live at Mesa Arts Center Following a wildly successful 25 date national excursion this past March and April, the Experience Hendrix Tour is set to launch another trek across the U.S. in September and October, which will include a performance in Mesa Arts Center's Ikeda Theater at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 7. The Experience Hendrix Tour has been paying homage to the musical genius of Jimi Hendrix for over a decade, bringing together a diverse, all-star aggregation of extraordinary guitarists including multiple Grammywinning Kennedy Center honoree Buddy Guy, Jonny Lang, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Black Label Society's Zakk
Wylde. All of the aforementioned are returning for the forthcoming edition of the Experience Hendrix Tour as are Black Crowes guitarist Rich Robinson, Eric Johnson, Doyle Bramhall II, Eric Gales, Mato Nanji, Ana Popovic, and Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble's Chris Layton. As always, the legendary Billy Cox, bassist for both The Jimi Hendrix Experience and Band of Gypsys, who has anchored each Experience Hendrix Tour since inception in 2000, is on board. "Obviously, I'm a fan of everybody that's on (the Experience Hendrix Tour) because they can all throw

down like it's nobody's business,� states Zakk Wylde, whose work with Ozzy Osbourne earned him a legion of devoted fans worldwide. Wylde, a lifelong admirer of Jimi Hendrix, was new to the Experience Hendrix Tour this past spring and immediately immersed himself in its famed collaborative spirit, lending piano to Eric Johnson's rendition of "Are You Experienced?� while shredding Hendrix's "Purple Haze� and "I Don't Live Today� to the delight of sold out houses across the U.S. The tour evokes the era when artists treated each performance as a unique interaction with their audience. Jimi Hendrix called this his "electric church.�
The Experience Hendrix Tour fully embraces this approach, presenting multiple opportunities for performers and audiences to witness unique collaborations among the participating artists, and will highlight these artists performing their favorite Hendrix signature songs including "Little Wing,� "Fire,� "Purple Haze,� and "Voodoo Child (Slight Return).� As in years past, Fender Guitars and Dunlop Manufacturing, whose gear is an integral part of the tour's backline, sponsor the Experience Hendrix Tour together with Axe Heaven, IK SEE HENDRIX TOUR PAGE 70

The Sail Inn sails away to Ahwatukee BY ANA ANGUIANO
"So our Sail Inn is sailing away," says Gina Lombardi, owner of one of the few standing Tempe music venues, which closed its doors on June 29. Lombardi points all around the venue and remembers that only a few years ago everything surrounding The Sail Inn was dirt. Now there are traffic cones and construction signs for the brand new condos being built all around and developers are planning to fill the area with bars and restaurants. "Our property, half an acre, a little over, this is going to be The Lodge, which is a bar in Scottsdale. It will be mainly a bar/restaurant and they won't be doing live music," she says. Lombardi has been a mover and a shaker in the Tempe music scene for three decades. As the owner of the Sail Inn she has given musicians and their loved ones a place to gather and feel at home. She has cultivated a family of loyal friends that came together to celebrate the venue one last time at the Sail Inn Farewell Festival, June 27 through June 29. "We've had a really good run here and the Sail Inn has been my baby since I was a kid, really," she says. "I'll be 53 and I got the bar when I was 28. It's seen many changes." The patio area once had grass and the outdoor stage area once was a volleyball court, but the memories that live on are those of times spent together with friends, some who have passed on. Ken Kareta, the production manager at the Sail Inn and the man behind the sound system for both indoor and outdoor stages, says the venue is a place that put him back together after the loss of his wife. "I think it's a shame that we are going to be losing the only local venue with an outdoor stage," Kareta says. "We have probably one of the most extreme varieties of any club in the area. We have the tie-dye sect dancing with their children in bare feet Sundays and Thursdays. On Wednesdays it could be a jazz show or a punk show, there's indie pop bands. It's definitely a variety. It's hard to get

Multimedia and Hal Leonard. Cox's relationship with Jimi Hendrix dates back to the early 1960s when the two met while serving in the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division. The two bonded over their love of music and would later work together backing R&B acts on the "chitlin' circuit." They reunited when Cox was recruited to be part of Hendrix's Band of Gypsys as well as the ultimate iteration of The Jimi Hendrix Experience, performing at such landmark festivals as Woodstock and the Isle of Wight. Cox, who has been part of all previous Experience Hendrix Tours, notes, "It's as much of a thrill for me to play Jimi's music for audiences now as it was in the early 1960s. The Experience Hendrix Tour shows you how timeless this music really is." Janie Hendrix, President/CEO of Experience Hendrix LLC, notes, "My brother was a musical visionary whose impact transcends his lifespan. He often spoke of the concept of 'Electric Church,' using music to connect directly with people. The Experience Hendrix Tour, now in its ninth incarnation, is testimony to the fact that Jimi continues to connect musicians and audiences, crossing generational and cultural boundaries. It's our continuing mission to do all we can to celebrate what he's given us and to keep his music in the forefront.
www.SanTanSun.com The wonderful musicians on this tour express their love for him in ways that are a direct reflection of the gift he's given us." Profoundly popular with fans and critics alike, an earlier edition of the Experience Hendrix Tour inspired Doug Walters of the Charleston City Paper to rave, "It was an inspired night of great energy and incredible playing. Nothing but good vibes filled the Performing Arts Center. Jimi's spirit and music could not have been honored more." Daniel DeSlover of the Madison Music Examiner, impressed by the musical diversity of the artists involved, noted that, "As each guitarist took the stage, the interpretation shifted. Eric Johnson on 'Are You Experienced?' and 'May This Be Love' was vastly different than Zakk Wylde's metal-infused take on 'Purple Haze.'" Ryan O'Malley of The Wilkes Barre, PA Times Leader called the tour "a talent-filled Experience to remember," and went on to observe, "If anything, the tour shows that many of the musicians people look up to today were influenced by one name when they were making their own mark in music – Jimi Hendrix." Mesa Arts Center is located at One East Main Street in downtown Mesa. Tickets are on sale.

bored." The Farewell Festival served as a memorial for the venue and a final hoorah before Lombardi moves on to Cactus Jack's in Ahwatukee. "This was going to be it and I was going to retire and so many of the bands kept coming up to me and saying, 'You're not done. Where are we going next?'" Lombardi says. A new stage, almost as big as the outdoor Sail Inn stage, is being built at Cactus Jack's with a new sound system and a dance floor. The Noodles, which were one of the first bands to play the Sail Inn, will be one of the first bands to play the new stage. Lombardi says the venue plans on starting live music there on Sunday, July 13. Ana Anguiano is a staff writer for the SanTan Sun News. She can be reached at email@example.com.

There's only one song that's like a slow song it's ('Oh Karl') the saddest thing I've ever written. It's extremely personal. Hopefully it'll make the record." The song is about the late bassist Karl Mueller, who died of cancer in June 2005. "Sometimes it's almost impossible for me to sing," Pirner says quietly. "There's something really important to me about it. But, you know, I'm not offended if someone thinks that song is just so sad they don't want to listen to it." Pirner, who bluntly said Soul Asylum will play no new songs on this tour, fondly remembers playing Phoenix—even if the shows were a little challenging. "I particularly remember one that was really hilarious," he says. "It was forever ago. The power went out in the club. It was pitch black and somehow we managed to play acoustic guitars or something—I can't even remember the details. It was funny because it was a disaster and we made the best out of it. Oddly, those are the things that stand out, when things go incredibly sideways. "Then the last time we played in Phoenix—I'm pretty sure I have this right—Michael, my drummer, had a really bad leg injury. We had to play an acoustic show with me, Justin and Winston. I was really afraid that people were going to be really disappointed that it wasn't a full-on

The Summerland Tour will feature all four bands in a three-hour period. So, Pirner says, fans should expect a short show. "We sort of play, I guess what you call a handful of Soul Asylum standards," Pirner explains. "We mix the rest of it up and play something different every night. The main effect is you get all the bands on and get all the bands off. You can't take nearly as many sharp journeys, or musical explorations into your jazz odyssey or try a bunch of songs you just made up yesterday "We'll probably be playing some things if you're into Soul Asylum— either you're very familiar with Soul Asylum and hopefully you're not so into Soul Asylum that you just can't stand hearing 'Black Gold' one more time."

Think zinc: miners bet big on revival in key base metal market
* Production drying up at big zinc mines
* That is curbing oversupply, boosting prices
* Zinc market up nearly 50 pct this year
* Miners rushing to invest in new zinc output
* But some analysts caution that demand could ease in second-half
By James Regan
SYDNEY, Aug 24 (Reuters) - Resource companies are racing to dig zinc mines, betting that markets for the metal used to rust-proof steel and protect noses from sunburn have finally turned after a decade in the doldrums.
A supply glut is evaporating as big zinc mines run dry, commodity analysts say, helping drive up prices by nearly half this year and triggering investments in new and long-dormant projects from Greenland to Africa.
"There is a sense of urgency that the zinc price will continue to appreciate in coming years and we want to start construction as soon as possible to take advantage of that," said Simon Smith, finance manager of Heron Resources, which is spending A$190 million to return a landfill site in Australia to its former life as a zinc mine.

According to its colophon, the
Old Buddha Mind (Kobutsu shin, also sometimes read
Kobusshin) was delivered in the fourth month of 1243,
at Rokuharamitsuji, an old temple in the eastern part of Kyoto.
In Dôgen's day, this section of the city was dominated
by local representatives of the new warrior administration recently
established in Kamakura; and it is thought that Dôgen was
invited to teach there by his chief patron in the administration,
Hatano Yoshishige, who maintained a residence in the neighborhood.
Several months before he delivered
the Old Buddha Mind, Dôgen had taught the Zenki
at this residence. These two texts are among the shortest in
the Shôbôgenzô, perhaps a reflection
of the attention span of an audience that may have included Hatano's
warrior colleagues. They are also among the last teachings Dôgen
would deliver in the capital: three months after producing the
Old Buddha Mind, he was on his way to Hatano's home district
of Echizen, where he would subsequently establish his community
at Eiheiji.
The text of the Old Buddha
Mind is divided into two sections -- the first dealing with
the term "old buddha" (kobutsu); the second,
with the title theme itself. In the former section, Dôgen
is at pains to distinguish his sense of "old buddha"
from that in common use in the broader Buddhist community, where
it typically refers to the buddhas of the past -- i.e., the sequence
of seven buddhas culminating in Sâkyamuni. Dôgen
introduces here the Zen use of the term in reference to the ancestors
of the tradition and argues (to a Japanese audience for which
these would have been somewhat novel claims) that all the great
masters of the tradition should be understood as buddhas, that
there can be more than one such buddha in the world at the same
time, and that such buddhas are not merely past but occur throughout
(and beyond) past and present. He then goes on to cite and comment
on several examples of the Zen usage of "old buddha."
The second section of the text
turns to the title theme. Here, the discussion focuses especially
on the famous saying by the Sixth Ancestor's disciple Nanyang
Huizhong (d. 775) that the old buddha mind is "fences, walls,
tiles, and pebbles." In his comments, Dôgen plays
freely with the expression "old buddha mind," resolving
it into the "old buddha" that expresses himself as
the world, the "old mind" that enacts and verifies
the buddha, the "mind buddha" that is always old, and
even the curious locution "buddha old" (sic) that forms
the mind. He then goes on to warn us not to take the "fences,
walls, tiles, and pebbles" of this saying for granted but
to study what they really are.
Finally, after brief comments
on the saying by the Tang-dynasty figure Jianyuan Zhongxing that
the "old buddha mind" means "the world collapses
in ruins," Dôgen returns to his opening theme to remind
us that the old buddha mind occurs both before and after the
seven buddhas, and (lest we think we have understood it) that
the old buddha mind is "sloughed off" before the old
buddha mind.
In the following translation,
based on the text appearing in Dharma Eye 13 (autumn 2003),
we have kept the annotation to a minimum. A more fully annotated
version will subsequently appear here. For other English translations

Kellen Lutz is getting candid about his rumored relationship with Miley Cyrus.
The Extraction star, who was linked to the singer after her split from former fiance Liam Hemsworth in 2014, told ET's Katie Krause that the romantic rumors about him and Cyrus were nothing more than speculation.
"We never dated," Lutz explained. "It was hearsay, that was all gossip stuff."
WATCH: Moving In? Miley Cyrus Brings U-Haul Truck to Liam Hemsworth's Home
The 30-year-old actor, who broke through with roles in Stick It, Accepted and the Twilight series, said he was thrilled to hear that Cyrus and Hemsworth have reportedly reconciled in recent months.
"It's something that I've even gone through in relationships," Lutz said. "You can date someone and it's not necessarily healthy because both people are growing. Then you kind of reconnect years later."
"I'm so happy for her and Liam," he added. "I hope they're very happy and it lasts forever, 'cause they're both beautiful people."
WATCH: Kellan Lutz Takes One Of His Biggest Fans to Prom
Lutz's latest movie, Extraction, is an action-packed thriller co-starring Bruce Willis, a role the actor admits was a "dream come true."
"Bruce is very quiet. He's very slow-moving and particular but that's what works. You know, it's the movie magic," Lutz said of his co-star. "He's a brilliant actor to work alongside."
WATCH: Kellan Lutz on His New Reality Show: Yes, You Could Die
The actor told ET that he loves working on action stunts in his films, and even on Bullseye, the competition show he hosts on FOX, but says he doesn't miss the thrill of evading the paparazzi from his early Twilight heartthrob days.
"I've stayed quite out of the limelight, not really going to so many events and just working," he noted. "Like this last year, I've done four movies, a show, it's the busiest I've ever been and it's amazing. It's amazing to kind of just let your work speak for itself, not your relationships, not you being outside on the beach topless."
"It's not like you're looking to be in these magazines," he added. "It's been really nice not having a paparazzi Prius sitting outside my house and I have to jump the back wall. It's been really freeing."
Extraction will be releasedon Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD on Feb. 23.

Washington, Jan 20 (ANI): Statins, generally used for lowering cholesterol levels, have also been found effective in protecting children with sickle disease, say researchers.
Children with sickle cell disease have a much greater risk of developing a potentially fatal infection with pneumococcal bacteria.
According to Elaine Tuomanen, at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Memphis, statins may reduce the susceptibility of children with sickle cell disease to invasive pneumococcal infection.
In the study, when sickle cell-disease mice were treated with statin before being infected with pneumococcal bacteria they lived for much longer than did infected, untreated sickle cell-disease mice.
Further analysis showed that statins reduced bacterial invasion into the blood system and they prevented cells being killed by the bacterial toxins. (ANI)

PBS' Ifill characterized liberal criticism of Alito as "demonization"
Research ››› ››› SIMON MALOY
PBS senior correspondent Gwen Ifill characterized criticism of Supreme Court nominee Samuel A. Alito Jr. by liberal "interest groups" as "demonization."
During the Public Broadcasting Service's (PBS) special coverage of the Senate Judiciary Committee's nomination hearings regarding Supreme Court nominee Samuel A. Alito Jr., PBS senior correspondent Gwen Ifill characterized criticism of Alito by liberal "interest groups" as "demonization."
From PBS' coverage of the Judiciary Committee hearings, which featured Ifill and syndicated columnist Mark Shields:
IFILL: But Mark, you received all the emails from all of the interest groups prior to these hearings. You've heard all of the demonization of this candidate. Has it just all gone away? Are they still out there, are they still arguing --
SHIELDS: Oh --
IFILL: -- after a day and a half?
SHIELDS: Oh, I think they're still arguing. But I mean -- I think what had to happen was -- I mean, there was no question going in he had the votes for confirmation.
Ifill's comment recalls ABC chief congressional correspondent Linda Douglass's claim that Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr.'s "appealing" demeanor would make it challenging "for Democrats who want[ed] to demonize" him during Roberts's August 2004 nomination hearings.

I am a 60 year old woman, 5' 4" and weigh 170 lbs. I weighed about 140 lbs until I turned 50 then due to menopause, laziness, thyroid condition and eating too much, I gained 50 lbs. I lost 20 lbs a few months ago and thought that Zerona might help me lose a couple of inches around my waist, stomach and belly.
I went to a Heath Centre and I signed up for 9 treatments. Their program also consisted of a detox portion. For the week before you were on a detox cleanse where you would take pills and mix a powder with liquid. The following week, you would do a 1/2 hour in a infrared sauna while your feet were in a foot detox bath. You then had 2 - 20 minutes treatments on the Zerona and then you went on a vibration machine for 10 minutes.
After 2 weeks, nothing, they kept telling me I have to be patient. It would happen the 3rd week. Nothing happened. They then said I can expect it to happen a week after. Well I had my measurements and nothing.
I wish I had done more research before I spent $3,500. I could have gone to a weight loss spa for a week or hired a personal trainer for a year. It was not only the money but it was 18 hours that I spent there. If you are reading this report, you probably are considering it. I finally had to face that fact that there is no quick fix and I have to do the work. Eat less, eat the right foods and exercise. Good Luck with your decision.

The International Guild of Realism
For the advancement of Realism in Fine Art
to the International Guild of Realism. It is our mission to advance realism in fine art and to promote the careers of representational artists. Our members enjoy access to the international fine art scene through Guild sanctioned gallery exhibitions, workshops and seminars conducted by fellow members, personalized marketing and career support by email, publicity and advertising, and of course visual Internet exposure on our website.
We're not a democratic group that's for anyone with a paint brush. The membership selection process is a cautious process designed to favor those meeting our high standards of technique, talent, and creativity. We would rather refrain from defining realism in words and let the images of our members' art speak for themselves. Realism continues to develop and surprise us in a delightful way. It is a work in progress. It requires skills drawn from deep within the tradition of fine art, its roots going back to the Greeks, the Renaissance, the Flemish Masters, just to name a few. We hope to nourish the continuous stream of talent in the field of realism: Artists that stay close to the traditional form of realism, Artists that have ventured into new territories, as well as waiting in anticipation for new visions yet to materialize in the realm of realism. Although there are many respected forms of fine art, and innovative advancements in technology are offering new and exciting methods for creating art, we want to point out that in the Guild's view there's no room for distinction in semantics and variations on the meaning of the word "original" when indicating a work of fine art.
Even though submissions for Membership and calls for art are accomplished by sending in digital images, the Guild only accepts these depictions assuming in good faith that they accurately and truthfully represent the Artist's original artwork. It is imperative that all the art be original, and created by hand.
The International Guild of Realism does not allow techniques using any form of collage or printing for membership submissions or in our sanctioned shows. The International Guild of Realism expects each artwork to be accompanied by unambiguous and correct information on the exact type of medium or media used.
We expect our Members, whether they are emerging or seasoned Artists, to follow our guidelines and rules, and always conduct themselves (whether in person or by electronic correspondence) in an appropriate, professional, and well-mannered way. If the International Guild of Realism deems that any of the regulations regarding general Membership and/or exhibitions have been ignored or boundaries have been overstepped by a Member, it retains the right to revoke Membership without refund(s) of any kind, at any time, or elect to not renew Membership.
We back up our exhibitions with the full force of comprehensive marketing support, both individually and as a group. We provide regular assistance in mastering the needs for better advertising, publicity, feature articles and public displays. Collectively, we believe there's "strength in numbers" to negotiate better ad rates, to pool our resources, and to provide a greater selection to the museum curators and gallery directors that determine the exhibition opportunities. It's all based upon one simple premise: The more our members succeed in the competitive art world, the greater the benefit to the art lovers of the world.
IGOR 11th Annual Exhibition Opening Reception | August 26th, 2016 at Gallery 1261 in Denver, Colorado
The Guild offers special benefits to its members that are not available to the general public:
• Members-only nationally advertised gallery exhibitions held in prestigious galleries and museums in the major art market.
• Visual presentation on the Guild website and optional personalized member pages offering additional art images and information.
• Marketing support and career guidance for member artists through our marketing staff by direct e-mail.
• Members-only seminars and workshops on traditional and contemporary realist painting styles and techniques with our educational staff.
Membership in the International Guild of Realism is by invitation. There are currently two levels of membership, Charter Member and Member.
Charter Membership is reserved for the founders of the Guild. These artists have demonstrated superior skill and craftsmanship in their work and have already participated in national gallery shows and museum exhibitions. Charter Members, having already established themselves at the highest level of their particular style, are involved in decision making, organization, and jury selection of upcoming shows.
Membership is based on juried selection of submitted works. The artists must demonstrate a high level of technique and style within the realm of Realism in order to be considered.
Artists working in media such as oils, acrylic, watercolor, gouache, colored pencil, graphite, charcoal, pastel, and egg tempera are eligible for Membership. However, media such as photography, collage, sculpture, assemblages, and computer-generated images are not eligible.
When considering membership into the Realism Guild, please be aware that we expect our Artist Members to have an email address which they access regularly. We also expect our Artist Members to be articulate in handling email in the English language, as well as confident in obtaining and handling digital images.
Since The International Guild of Realism uses electronic correspondence as its only communication method, we ask applicants to submit their application via email.

Russian investigators on Tuesday searched the offices of the country's largest social network VKontakte, an Investigative Committee spokesman told AFP. "Yes, there is a search" at VKontakte's headquarters in central Saint Petersburg, Sergei Kapitonov, a spokesman for the committee's office in the northwestern city told AFP. The social network VKontakte (vk.com) says on its website it has 200 million registered users, making it the most popular social network in the country. "We are working... and suddenly twenty silent men in leather jackets appear," the company's technical director Nikolai Durov, who co-founded the company with his brother Pavel, wrote on his own VKontakte page. "Turns out, it's a search... I wonder what they are looking for? Or perhaps they are gathering information and planting bugs?" he wrote. Saint Petersburg police told Russian agencies the search was part of a probe into a recent accident near the company's office. On Wednesday, investigators launched a probe into the April 5 accident, in which the driver of a white Mercedes ran over a traffic policeman and fled the scene. Multiple reports then alleged that Pavel Durov was behind the wheel, which VKontakte denied.

Towns > Easton
Easton, NY
The Town of Easton is conveniently located near the cultural and employment hotspots of Glens Falls, Saratoga Springs, and the Capital Region, but maintains the peace and tranquility that formed its identity as a rural town.
Because the Adirondack Northway passes within 10 miles of Easton's borders, transportation through the area is quite simple. There are also several state highways that cross through town.
Agriculture and manufacturing are the two primary industries in Easton, with many farmers selling their goods at local markets.
The area is rich in recreational and cultural opportunities, like fishing and boating on the Hudson and Battenkill Rivers, skiing at Willard Mountain, golfing at the Battenkill Country Club, and hiking New York's Adirondack Mountains and Vermont's Green Mountains.
The third week in August is a wonderful time to visit Easton, when the Washington County Fair takes place in nearby Greenwich. This fair is famous throughout the state, and everyone is sure to enjoy the rides, games, food, and exhibits that the fair offers.
We're sorry...
