By Jack Houston
With the opening notes of "Enter Sandman" ringing out, the singer stepped to the mic. Only it wasn't Metallica's James Hetfield. Nor was it Zac Brown, the leader of the Zac Brown Band and singer of 21 of the band's 23 songs on Saturday night at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
It was John Driskell Hopkins, the bass player and, up until this point, an inconspicuous presence onstage, where his Civil War-era facial hair commanded more attention than his low end or backup vocals.
But Hopkins owned it. Digging deep into a guttural growl, he delivered a performance worthy of the metal icon's most recognizable song.
Over two hours at The Cosmopolitan's Chelsea Ballroom, the Zac Brown Band proved that it has the cojones to tackle any genre and song. When it came time to deviate from its roster of original hits, the band went big. Really big.
"We're going to take you back a bit," Brown said early on in the set. Expecting a selection from their 2008 major label debut to follow, or perhaps something from a pair of self-released albums they dropped in the mid-2000s, ZBB instead lit into a faithful cover of Dave Matthews Band's "Ants Marching."
As he did throughout the night, violinist Jimmy De Martini took the lead, replicating fellow jam band violinist Boyd Tinsley to a T and bringing the crowd alive for not the first time in the night.
The seven-piece of Brown, Hopkins, De Martini, guitarist Clay Cook, organist Coy Bowles and percussionists Daniel de los Reyes and Chris Fryar simply refuses to be pigeonholed as a straightaway country act. A song you might have heard on CMT on a Sunday morning will evolve into a freewheeling jam. A speed-demon bluegrass number will follow a tender ballad. Out of nowhere, Edgar Winter Group's instrumental "Frankenstein" will appear.
If you tended to not be familiar with the band's material, these surprises were just the kind of thing to warm you to the Atlanta-based outfit.
And if you happened to catch the band at Mandalay Bay Events Center in January 2012, the 4,000-capacity Chelsea was, simply put, a revelation. An intimacy missing from that show was felt in full force as the beanie-capped Brown seemed to be in tears after a stirring performance of "Colder Weather." (ZBB also rocked The Joint in The Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas in March 2010.)
"Let's all get lost together tonight, OK?" Brown requested during "Knee Deep," and the crowd did its best to oblige. It certainly got lost in a spiraling guitar solo from Cook, who transformed "Who Knows" into a show highlight, climaxing in some Allman Brothers-style guitar interplay with Brown.
The band was so hot, one can only imagine the saturation status of Brown's beanie by the time the band returned for an encore, which kicked into overdrive with an oh-no-they-didn't cover of Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir," then segued with we-do-this-every-night swagger into "The Devil Went Down to Georgia."
A new song, "One Day," foreshadowed what's to come with Zac Brown Band's next full-length. Rooted in country but riding a '70s soft rock groove, it threw another monkey wrench into a set that never telegraphed where it was going.
Exit light, enter night -- and a pair of jeans that fit just right.
Saturday's set list: "Jump Right In," "As She's Walking Away," "Knee Deep," "Free"/"Into the Mystic," "Natural Disaster," "Ants Marching," "The Wind," "Colder Weather," "One Day," "Where the Boat Leaves From"/"One Love," "Who Knows," "Day That I Die," "Keep Me in Mind," "Enter Sandman," "Whiskey's Gone," "Highway 20 Ride," "Quiet Your Mind," "Toes," "Goodbye in Her Eyes" and "Chicken Fried." Encore: "Uncaged"/"Kashmir"/"The Devil Went Down to Georgia."
Jack Houston is editor of Las Vegas Magazine, Las Vegas Life and Vegas2Go, publications of Greenspun Media Group, which also owns the Las Vegas Sun, Vegas DeLuxe and Las Vegas Weekly. Houston is not related to Brown, despite the similar facial hair.

BlueLightCamp is an 'unconference' for employees and stakeholders of Blue Light Emergency Services. The next BlueLightCamp will take place in April 2013. We were delighted to sponsor this year's event, and are pleased to do so again for 2013.
An unconference is an event that has no set agenda. Instead, the course of the event is driven by the attendees. Presentations and workshops at the event are run by attendees in an impromptu manner. This style of event is great for idea generation, and for sharing current best practice.
Rowena Farr, one of our account managers, attended this year's BlueLightCamp and said, 'the prospect of attending a smaller, emergency services focussed event seemed exciting and timely. The day proved interesting and varied, with five different sessions and a lengthy lunch to discuss ideas further.'
Some blog posts about the 2012 event:

Cow Creek hut lies at a prominent bend in the Waingawa river. A pleasant weekend destination.
Sleeps: 6
Heating: Pot belly.
Camping: Yes, plenty.
I stayed in the hut 15-17 July 2012. The pot belly has been replaced with a Kent-type burner which is very efficient once going. Plenty of firewood lying around which we chopped up and filled the woodshed with. Rather a shaded hut but clean and tidy and well maintained. Took 5 hours walk in from the road end and a great weekend spot. Plenty of scope for further tramping and a superb new bridge over the Waignawa river makes an all weather tramp. Note, no axe or firewood at Blue Range Hut.

text: Butler Maps has tapped into our vast knowledge of the best motorcycle roads to produce DIY tour guides. Visiting a new state and want to make sure you ride the best possible routes? Touring in your own state and want the best way out and back? We are starting with Colorado paved roads and will expand into Colorado ADV routes as time goes on. After that additional states. The paved routes are 300 miles or less per day and you travel the best roads from city to city. We start all Front Range(Denver) rides from Golden, but our unique system is designed to work with other start points in the state. How this works is you purchase each day of riding (a leg) for $10 ea and we include a fully detailed turn by turn tour sheet with mileages to the next turn. Gas and lunch stops are detailed, with a restaurant recommendation at each town along the way. A destination hotel recommendation is included plus ideas on where to eat dinner. Finally we include day rides and other site seeing ideas if you wish to lay over an extra day. Different return routes are sometimes offered if you are riding out and back for quick 2-3 tours or multi-day loop recommendations for seeing a big chunk of the state. Our primary routing goal is that each days ride include at least 1 G1 section of road. These are THE best sections of paved roads in the state. Another goal is to avoid interstates if at all possible. We'll use excellent frontage roads and other detour techniques. Sometime the interstate cannot be avoided but the sections will be short. We will move over to an online order system, but for now PM me with the legs you wish to purchase and i'll send you a Paypal request. Upon payment i'll email you the files. Each daily leg has a .gpx, toursheet .pdf and a google earth .kml file of the ride. Load your GPS with the .gpx, print the .pdf for your tankbag and visualize it with the .kml. Yes you could piece all these together yourself, but we take all the time and guess work out of it and dial you into the best roads for only $10 per day! These are designed to work with out state maps which can be purchased here: http://www.butlermaps.com plus using our online tour guides here: http://www.butlermaps.com/Motorcycle-Tour-Guides Live the dream and buy the guides! This could be you on these roads... Thanks, Bill & The Butler Maps team

After his loss in the Democratic primary earlier this month, there was some question whether Speaker of the State House Chris Donovan would run as a candidate of the Working Families Party, who had cross-endorsed him.
Now Secretary of the State Denise Merrill says she's received a letter from Donovan, officially withdrawing his candidacy from the minor party nomination. She says the Working Families Party has until next Wednesday, September 5, to nominate a candidate if it chooses to be on the ballot for the Fifth District Congressional Race.
Democrat Elizabeth Esty and Republican Andrew Roraback won their parties' nominations in the August 14 primary.

Our research for our newest project, a book about the retail record store in America, led us to Cleveland, OH, to interview the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's president and CEO, Greg Harris. Greg opened the Philadelphia Record Exchange in the 80's and had some great insights into the retail side of the music business. Then we were given an all-access, behind-the-scenes tour of the museum. Later we went and visited the fabled house from A Christmas Story because, well…because we HAD to!!! We got to see some really cool stuff and we took a bunch of pictures.
"No Slam Dancing" Authors Begin Work on New Book
We are very excited to finally get started on a new project! We've been kicking around the idea for this one for about a year now, and it's time to roll up our sleeves and get down to work. If you haven't caught any of our social media postings about this new venture, here it is: we plan to write an oral history of the retail record store in America. By gathering personal stories from veterans of the retail side of the music industry, we hope to tell a tale of the origin of the record store as well as its evolution throughout the 20th century into the new millennium. We are at the very outset of collecting interviews and still doing a TON of research, so you never know where the story might lead. We are very excited to see where it goes, though. We plan to cover retail giants like Tower Records (we have an interview scheduled with the legendary Russ Solomon!) as well as the rise, wane, and rebirth of the independent music store. There will be a lot of historical information paired with personal anecdotes of what it was like to work in these stores in various eras, regions and cultures.From Elvis to the big rock of the '70s, to disco, punk, hip hop, R&B, and about a thousand other sub-genres, we hope to cover as much as we can!
Our first foray found us in the city of Cleveland, Ohio, where we were special guests at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum and given a behind-the-scenes tour by the head honcho himself, Mr. Greg Harris. In the 1980s Greg opened one of my personal favorite record stores in Philadelphia; The Record Exchange. Greg had a lot of insight into the world of indie record shops and gave us a fantastic interview. Greg was also very familiar with City Gardens, having (mis)spent many a night there, so we presented him with a "No Slam Dancing" sign from the club as a thank you for all of his hospitality. We also got to see some really fucking cool shit.
Most recently we took a trip to the Rutgers University campus in Camden, NJ, to visit an RCA Victor exhibit for some research. It was a free showing, open to the public, and it housed some very cool artifacts and antiquities like old Victrolas, early reel-to-reel tape machines, and some of the earliest television sets manufactured. It was a really cool set-up: Camden played a HUGE part in the early growth of the recording and manufacturing industry, and there is a lot of history there. Specifically with the RCA Victor company, which thrived in downtown Camden once upon a time.
Again, we are very excited to delve into this story and see where it takes us. So far it has been very interesting. Along the way we are looking to interview as many people as possible, so if you worked in or owned a record store of any kind, and have some stories to tell, please get in touch with us! Contact is: firstname.lastname@example.com and we look forward to hearing from you! Also check out our new Facebook page for our publishing company, DiWulf Publishing.
Here are some pictures from our Camden trip.
"No Slam Dancing": The WXPN Interview
"I Love Living In The City" by The Drew Stone Hit Squad 12/5/14
Drew Stone, Tristan Michael, Bopa King Carre cover the Fear classic at The Cake Shop during No Slam Dancing, No Stage Diving, No Spikes book party.
No Slam Dancing Book Party in NYC 12/5/14
Spent a drizzly cold Friday night in December at the wonderful Cake Shop in New York having a wonderful time with new friends and old as we celebrated our almost-dual birthdates (Amy is December the 3rd and I (Steve) am on the 5th) with an intimate gathering of friends and family. It was very cool, and we are extremely grateful to our friends who came out and supported us.
We had some very awesome music from our friend Drew Stone and the Drew Stone Hit Squad playing "the hits of yester-year" in a set that included covers from the likes of the Bad Brains, Sham 69, Warren Zevon and (*cough*) The Grateful Dead. Thanks to Tristan Michael and Bopa King Carre for sitting in and playing. We had a nice couple of sing alongs and talked about the good old days and raised more than a few glasses…
We also tried something that we've NEVER done before. We staged a live reading from an excerpt out of No Slam Dancing. Amy and I had no idea how it would go; but fuck it: we're punk rock. Well, let me tell you, it was a blast. Some real funny shit. The cast (which included authors Howie Abrams and Tony Rettman, event coordinator Julie Turley; as well as the subject of Drew's latest film: Michael Alago playing the part of hardcore legend Mike Judge) was amazing and really made the story come to life.

Amy Remembers Punching Flipper in the Nuts; Steve Reveals His Deep-Seeded, Adolescent Love for Glenn Danzig on The Rock Book Show
Thanks to Kimberly and Bob at the Rock Book Show! We had a great time doing this interview, shot at Randy Now's Mancave.
So… You Wanna Know What It Was Like To Be On The Daily Show With Jon Stewart?
Hey folks! Steve here. Sorry I haven't been able to update this here little blog, trying to stay on top of it as best as we can! Got lots to report, so here's a quick rundown of what's been going on with the No Slam Dancing crew.
Christ, I don't even know where to begin. To say it's been a hell of a few weeks would be grossly understating the immensity of all that has transpired since "No Slam Dancing" was released. I'll skip the whirlwind clichés and get right to the meat of it.
The first, most obvious thing that needs to be expressed is the overwhelming gratitude we feel. The support we've garnered for this book is nothing short of amazing, and it's something we never really expected. I mean, we knew all you City Gardens folk would be into the book, but in the last 19 days I've personally received so many nice words from people who never set foot in City Gardens, some who had never even heard of it! It really is incredible how intensely people are vibing on these stories; these memories. Just think: complete strangers from remote parts of the world are reading about our lives and connecting with our past on some deep, deep levels. Kids who've only known an internet existence are engrossed by old stories of booking tours on payphones and through writing actual letters! The thrill is beyond articulation and, personally, the lump of humility in my throat grows larger each time somebody takes the time to pass along a few kind words to us. The greatest thrill is knowing that Amy, me, all those who had stories in the book, all those who didn't get their stories in the book but still keep City Gardens close to their heart… we are ALL responsible for getting people excited to read! That's a pretty powerful thing when you think about it. So many people have posted through social media that they've read the book in a day or two; that they haven't really sat and read a book since college. This is the highest praise I could ever think of, and hearing or reading stuff like that makes my toes tingle. Even the criticisms I've read have been constructive and fair. As authors, that's the best we can ask for, and we are always grateful for the honesty.
So Amy and I have been on an amazing journey of meeting some of you wonderful people at our book signings. We've had tremendous turnouts and we are thankful for each and every person who takes the time to come out and see us. I've continually said that the best part about this whole experience has been the interestingly cool and unique people we've met along the way. Our book signings are like family reunions filled with warmth and hospitality and the sentimental syrup that makes us all feel good inside! We love hanging out and talking music biz and City Gardens memories and we love sharing this common bond with everyone.
The biggest stop on our journey was doing The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on March 25th. And I know you are all just DYING to hear the behind the scenes stuff from our day on TV. So here you go.
Our day started in Morrisville PA. Not leaving anything to chance or weather, we hit the road early. We rode up as a team: me, Amy, our spouses and a friend. The car was filled with an electric excitement that was fueled by caffeine and nervous energy. We knew were hitting "the big time" and none of us were trying to pretend we weren't nervous as hell! Around 2pm we pulled over to the Joyce Kilmer rest stop on the Jersey Turnpike so Amy, Gibby and The Daily Show producer could do the pre-interview. It was short and sweet. Meanwhile, the show was on the phone with Riot on the Dance Floor director Steve Tozzi frantically trying to get clips from his documentary to go along with Amy and Gibby's segment. And they needed a Salerno picture of the infamous Butthole Surfers show. They kept saying "something with fire in it." Fire good.
This couldn't have gone better: not only was "No Slam Dancing" getting a prominent feature on national TV, they were also going to include Riot! The entire world was now going to hear about two very powerful documents about the legend of Randy Now and City Gardens. More importantly we found a way to get our friends included in all the hoopla. Riot is getting ready to drop any minute now, and between the two projects City Gardens will be getting a very fitting tribute in the coming months. This was just the first shot in what will be an all-out attack!
We got to Manhattan early and met up with some wonderful friends for a little pre-game celebration. We toasted with something that was just like champagne but wasn't champagne and smiled and laughed and again that warmth of love and friendship surrounded all of us and it was beautiful. It was a nice, quiet moment before all hell broke loose.
Time came for Amy to report to the green room.
We found Gibby and his lovely wife already settled into the green room. Both were cordial and super friendly. I had never met Gibby before. It was very cool. The first thing we noticed was that he had written "GWAR" on his arm in thick black marker and I knew right there that this was going to be one hell of a television appearance. We met the producers; everyone was so nice to us. We got some snapshots with Gibby and it was just a great vibe in that little room.
And they had these big bags full of swag for us!
They called Amy into the makeup room, which was right next to the green room. I was hanging out in the long, narrow corridor, just taking in all the magic of TV, when Amy called me into the makeup room. The lady who was doing her makeup was a punker from back in the day. We're talking the original CB's and Max's set. She showed us some amazing pictures. Amy told her to never mind the "natural look," she (Amy) wanted CRAZY makeup: the lashes, the heavy eye makeup, the whole deal. As Amy said; "I'm from the '80s, when there was no such thing as too much makeup!" And they went to town on her!
There was a small commotion in the hallway and that's when we were introduced to Dipper: Jon Stewart's rescued pit bull. The poor guy only had three legs but he was just as happy as could be. They told us Jon always brought the dog to work. Dipper was great: friendly, playful, energetic. Everybody instantly fell in love with him. We tried to get pictures of him, but he just moved so darn fast you couldn't get a good one!
And then I heard the voice. It was weird. I never met Jon and if he worked any of the hardcore shows I attended at City Gardens I never knew it. But there he was, right in front of me! And he was so gracious. Gave me a big old hello and a handshake and talked profusely about how much he had liked the book. Wow. I was floored. Soon the rest of the gang joined is in the hall. Amy and I presented him with a gift of two specially-made City Gardens pint glasses. We chatted for a long time about the club, about his fondness for it. He was just as funny and charming as you would expect! Sure, it was a bit disconcerting seeing the odd orange hue of television makeup caked on his face, but once you got past that you didn't even notice. He made us laugh, put us at ease and told us over and over how great it was that we did this. Man, that was pretty heavy.
They started the show and we all went back into the green room. Amy was dressed and ready to go and she was gorgeous. If you're wondering why yours truly wasn't invited to sit with Amy and Gibby, well, think about what's gonna' sell more books: the rock star and the beautifully poised and radiantly gorgeous redhead or my dopey, bulbous head. It was an obvious choice, and we are talking about TV here, after all.
Well, you all saw what happened next: she absolutely KILLED it. I was so proud of her! We watched from the green room and were hooting and hollering the whole time. It was something else. Afterwards we had a brief moment with Jon to thank him profusely. And I even got him to sign the copy of "No Slam Dancing" I always carry with the intent of someday having every person who appeared on the book to etch their signature in it. Corny, yeah, but I sure don't care.
After the taping we met with friends from City Gardens; people who were directly involved in helping this book come into being. My phone was already exploding with congratulatory texts from friends and family. I've never been successful at anything, and this was all very new to me. I was overwhelmed and I am not at all ashamed to admit that when I stood up and tried to toast Amy I completely lost it and broke down sobbing! It was a very emotional evening. And I am Italian, after all.
We raced back to Morrisville to catch the 11pm airing and made it just in time. I manned the social media and pumped it up into a frenzy. I could almost FEEL every single person I've ever known watching along with us. And by 11:30 pm our lives had changed drastically. By Wednesday noon Amazon was completely sold out of books. Our two distributors were calling for MORE BOOKS. Social media went NUTS and people were clamoring with questions on how to get the book. When all was said and done we hit #107 on some Amazon chart and we had pretty much sold out of ALL books. As of right now we are scrambling to get a second printing going and it's a painfully slow process. Suddenly we had all kinds of friends we'd never knew we had before! Myself, I was getting notes from people who hadn't had the inclination to speak to or even acknowledge me in 25 years. Strange…
But mostly everyone was just as excited as we were. This was a victory for ALL of us: for the generations of City Gardens folk this book represents and, really, for the glorious and beautiful music we've cherished all our lives.
So there you have it, our 15 minutes. Don't worry; we'll be here a LOT longer than 15 minutes. You can bet on that.
Hope to see you at our upcoming book signings.

Shell Lubricants has unveiled its revamped Shell Rotella Energized Protection product portfolio, which is part of a bold initiative in brand positioning and marketing strategy for the leading brand of heavy duty engine oil in the United States.
The Shell Rotella Energized Protection portfolio features a new synthetic blend engine oil, a new formula for its full synthetic engine oil and a new performance claim for Shell Rotella T Triple Protection.
All Shell Lubricants heavy duty engine oils have been consolidated under the Shell Rotella Energized Protection portfolio in an easy to understand ladder of protection. All Shell Rimula, Pennzoil Long Life and Quaker State HDX products have been renamed and will be enfolded into the portfolio of Shell Rotella Energized Protection oils in the first quarter of 2010. The portfolio meets the requirements of on- and off-highway equipment, including the latest vehicles fitted with diesel particulate filters (DPF) and catalysts. All Shell Rotella multi-grade engine oils meet API CJ-4 standards Shell Lubricants CI-4 PLUS engine oils will be phased out by the end of 2009.
"The strengthening of Shell Rotella synthetic product offerings, along with moving to strictly API CJ-4 products further reinforces the technological leadership position of Shell Lubricants and will enable Shell Rotella to continue to build on its position as the No. 1 heavy duty engine oil in terms of market share, brand preference and brand awareness in the United States," said Lisa Davis, vice-president, lubricants Americas. "The portfolio is built around Shell Rotella T Triple Protection, which is backed by over 40 million miles of punishing on- and off-highway testing."
Shell Rotella Energized Protection is led by the new formulation of Shell Rotella T6 Full Synthetic SAE 5W-40 oil, which offers protection for the latest low emissions technology for after treatment systems and helps promote energy savings and maintenance savings.
All Shell Rotella heavy duty oils provide protection in three critical areas by helping to control acids, deposits and wear. The adaptive technology in Shell Rotella allows the oil to protect across all driving conditions, physically or chemically reacting to the ever-changing needs of an engine.
Shell Rotella Energized Protection will be supported by a completely new advertising campaign that will focus on print, online and radio outlets, as well as truck stops. Additional support will come from education symposiums, national sponsorships, promotions, public relations, experiential-marketing, merchandising and tradeshows.
"The Shell Rotella Energized Protection product portfolio is designed to help Shell Lubricants lead the industry in customer value, market share, owner-driver loyalty and programs that assist customer growth and success," said Davis.
The Shell Lubricants 2010 Emissions Symposium will tour 10 cities in September and October 2009. Shell representatives will present and discuss the various new emission control technologies, equipment changes, lubricants and coolants.
The Shell Rotella Road Show has been updated inside and out in order to focus on educating consumers about the Shell Rotella Energized Protection product portfolio and our technological leadership in heavy duty engine oils. The experiential-marketing truck travels to consumer and corporate events around the country.

I dont mind you lurking in 40ish, BUT when you take our post and use them as your own (including title) I think that is WRONG! At least you can do is let people know you "borrowed" the post from another group.
If you can't come up with an original post and need to "borrow" one why not ask if you can share. Chances are we will not mind unless its a personal post.
We pride ourself in 40ish to make original post and we don't go to any other group to steal post and make them our own. You are welcome to come in and reply and even post in 40ish even if you are not a member or for that matter 40ish and older. WE have a younger admin who isnt 40ish yet and we enjoy having all age groups joining in and voice their opinion.
Lurkers we dont bite so come in and say howdy to us.
Have a great day ~~ :)
I did not know this was happening. I admit I tend to lurk but I have NEVER EVER taken someone's post. That is just wrong!!!!!!!
I dont mind lurkers.. Heck join in and have some fun. I have gotten PM saying that they lurk and dont say anything but come in because they know they will get a uplifting message or a good laugh.
I've had them too. They are also called trolls. As Grop owners and admins we love Members. But idea stealers and trolls please ask.
Quoting the_kids_mom: This group isn't the only one that it's happening to unfortunately. It's sad that people think that it's okay to steal something. Most of the time, nobody would mind, if they would just be courteous and ask. I lurk more often than I post, but what I post about are my ideas, or spin offs in the respective group that I post it in.

Another good start for Detroit leads to yet another win over the NHL-owned Phoenix Coyotes.
Realizing that we're only three games into this post season, Detroit seems to have fixed many of the problems that plagued them during the final "push" to the play-offs. Hot starts and depth scoring is once again showing the way for our Detroit Red Wings.
As expected, Phoenix came out running and gunning and trying to smash every Red Wing that touched the puck. The end result – Ruslan Salei, of all people, and Drew Miller tallied just 44 seconds apart in the first. Ha! The Wings are refusing to get pushed around by this team. For crying out loud, Valtteri Filppula was standing up for himself against JovoCop last night.
By the way – I think the next time Helm scores a goal, one of the Wings should grab his face like Jovo did in game 2 to celebrate…
Yeah…that was a penalty, Gary…suuuuuuuure.
Anyway, after the 2-0, the game settled down a bit. Jimmy Howard completely shut down the Phoenix comeback attempt in the first, making some solid saves. The Wings didn't come out of the gate quite as strong in the second period, but Jiri Hudler and Val Filppula hooked up just under three minutes into the frame to up 3-0.
Phoenix scored a powerplay goal with 8:17 left in the second…not the best goal that Jimmy's given up. But Schlemko (tee hee) actually put a pretty good shot off the bar and in. The Wings took a 3-1 lead into the dressing room before the start of the third.
And the final frame started off pretty freakin' awesome too. As the Mule, unfazed by his new half-shield got a breakaway just 45 seconds in and fired a wrister past Bryzgalov on the glove side. The Wings held Phoenix off the scoreboard aside from a flukey pinball type goal (again on the PHX powerplay) with only 7:00 left in the final frame.
4-2 Wings is your final score. And the Red Wings are up three games to love in this series.
You know what mixes well with octopi on the ice? Brooms.

sum 3 BF 3 POSITION INTERMEDIATE SCARIFYING POSITION SCRAPING POSITION INVENTORS BLAINE RICH REX M. BROWN MULTI-WAY SNOW GROOMING APPARATUS FOR SKI SLOPES This invention relates generally to snow grooming equipment for ski slopes and more particularly to an apparatus which is attachable to flat bed vehicles provided with hydraulic or electric power, and which includes a multi-purpose snow compacting bar.
The proper grooming of the trails of a skiing area requires several types of equipment to handle the various conditions encountered. First of all, fluffy, new fallen snow must be packed for preservation and smoothed for skiing. As great numbers of skiers move over the slopes and trails, they tend to follow specific patterns or courses which form undesirable and dangerous mounds known as moguls which must be cut off and leveled for continued use of the slope.
Moreover, the daily temperature changes and the heavy traffic result in extremely hard snow and, in many cases, solid ice conditions both of which must be broken up and worked into a fine powder to meet the criteria of good skiing conditions which demands a shallow depth of approximately I to 2 inches of powder snow on top of a smooth snow surface for edge control of the skis.
As is well known, the extremely steep slopes involved and the constantly changing snow conditions require the use of light weight, high performance vehicles,'and a multitude of different implements especially designed to function properly in each particular condition. These comprise various types of rollers to compact the snow, bulldozer blades, scrapers, etc., to cut the moguls, and a great variety of harrows or scarify drags to scratch loose the surface under the more hardened snow conditions. Obviously, the initial cost and maintenance of these tools comprises a very material overhead expense as does the time lost in changing from one tool to another.
Accordingly, the main object of the present invention is to obviate the above and other problems of the snow grooming of ski slopes by providing a self contained, power actuated, multi-purpose snow grooming apparatus which is economical in initial cost and maintenance and which requires a minimum of time and effort in the changing of the tools used.
to provide a snow grooming apparatus which includes a pivoted snowtool or bar which is readily adjustable to several different positions.
Other objects and features of the present invention will become apparent during the course of the following description.
In the drawings we have shown one embodiment of the invention. In this showing:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the apparatus mounted on a flat bed vehicle in folded, inoperative position for transport to a ski slope;
FIG. 2 is a side elevational view thereof showing the snow bar and its supporting boom partially pivoted rearwardly to operative position;
FIG. 3 is a similar view showing the snow bar and its mesh drag in one of its operative positions;
FIG. 4 is a front elevational view of the snow grooming bar to an enlarged scale;
FIG. 5 is a rear elevational view thereof;
FIG. 6 is a fragmentary side elevational view of the snow grooming bar in scarifying position;
FIG. 7 is a similar view showing the bar in a modified scarifying position;
FIG. 8 is a similar view showing the bar in snow compacting position; and
FIG. 9 is a similar view showing the bar in scraping position.
Referring to FIG. 1 of the drawings, numeral 12 designates the snow grooming apparatus as a whole mounted in transport position on the flat bed 14 of a vehicle 16 which is preferably equipped with endless tracks and a hydraulic power unit.
The snow grooming apparatus 12 comprises a box frame 18 which is detachably but rigidly secured to the vehicle bed 14; a boom 20 comprising a box frame having hollow side members 22 and being pivotally mounted by shaft 19 on the rear of the box frame 18 and having spaced, outer boom arms 24 telescopically mounted in the side members 22 and held in adjusted position by bolts 26; and a multipurpose snow grooming bar 28 pivotally mounted to the outer ends of the boom arms 24 by depending flanges 29 as at 30.
The boom 20 is pivoted from the transport position of FIG. 1 to the operative position of FIG. 3 and back by means of a reversible hydraulic unit 32 which receives power fluid from the vehicle 16 by means of hoses 34, the shaft 19 of the boom 20 being fixed to the drive shaft of the unit 32.
The snow grooming bar 28 which is provided with outrigger snow skids 36 (FIGS. 1, 4, and 5), comprises an elongated metal plate 38 which is bent as at 40 to form a flat surface 42 which limits the depth of the penetration of transversely spaced harrow teeth 44, bent again at 46 to form a flat compacting blade surface 48, and finally bent upwardly to form a scraping edge 50. The harrow teeth 44 are adjustably but fixedly mounted in a transversely extending channel member 52 and project forwardly through aligned apertures 54 in the grooming bar plate 38 which is reinforced by laterally spaced ribs 56 which straddle the channel 52.
The angular position of the grooming bar 28 is adjusted about its pivots 30 by means of a pair of upstanding plates 58 fixed to the bar on each side of the outer boom arms 24 which are each provided with a bolt 59 receiving aperture 60. The plates 58 are each provided with four similar apertures 62, 63, 64 and 65 which are alignable with the apertures 60 so as to present different portions of the grooming bar 38 to a ski slope. It will be apparent that the position of the bar 38 is readily adjusted by simply removing the bolts 59 from a given aperture (6265) and the apertures 60 in the arms 24, pivoting the bar with respect to the arms 24, and reinserting the bolts. Optionally, as indicated in dotted lines in FIG. 9, the adjustment may be effected by a double acting hydraulic cylinder 66. As shown in the drawings, a mesh drag 68 terminating in a heavy flexible belt 70 is attached to the grooming bar 28 just above the scraping edge 50.
The bar 28 performs each ski slope grooming function in the desired sequence by simply removing the bolts 59 and repositioning the bar for the desired functron.
The compacting position shown in FIG. 8 provides a negative rake of 50 (the angle made by the various surfaces of the blade 38 of bar 28 and a plane perpendicular to the work, ie., snow surface. The rake angle is considered positive when less than 90, measuring in a clock-wise direction, and negative when greater than 90 measuring clock-wise, or less than 90 measuring counter clock-wise. In the present instance the negative rake angle of 50 should be considered as measured counter clock-wise.) resultant angle of approach, moving into the fallen or otherwise loose snow. This angle provides a wedging effect which forces the snow to compress and slide under the parallel flat terminating surface 48 of the blade 38, obviously various degrees of rigidity can be obtained by the amount of downward pressure applied by the hydraulically controlled bar supporting boom 20.
The scraping position shown in FIG. 9 provides 61 negative rake angle of the blade. In this position, the terminating edge 50 is in line contact with the hardened snow surface, allowing the required cutting pressure to be exerted for removal of the undesirable moguls.
The scarifying position of FIG. 6 is accomplished by pivoting the blade 38 forwardly beyond the compacting position, to 30 negative rake. in combination with the harrow tooth projections 44 and the flat parallel blade surface 42, the hardened ice and snow surfaces can be broken up and smoothed in one operation.
It will now be apparent that the novel apparatus 12 including the novel grooming bar 28 enables all of the snow grooming operations to be accomplished without removing or changing the bar. This enables major economies to ski slope operators as the cast of this single implement is approximately the same as any one of the three types required. Thus, an effected savings of approximately two thirds on acquisition costs alone can be realized independent of the continuing cost of lost time in complete changes of implements.
It will be appreciated that in each of the compacting, scraping and scarifying operations, the use of the mesh drag 68, 70 effects a final leveling and smoothing action.
It is to be understood that the form of the invention herewith shown and described is to be taken as a preferred example of the same and that various changes in the shape, size and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departure from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the subjoined claims.
What is claimed is:
1. A snow-grooming bar comprising, in combination, a blade adapted to be dragged over snow; said blade being shaped to have a plurality of snow grooming surfaces; means operably connected with said blade for selectively presenting different ones of said surfaces to the snow to effect one type of grooming thereof; and a plurality of harrow teeth projecting through one of said surfaces for scarifying the snow.
2. The combination recited in claim 1; and a mesh drag fixed to a trailing edge of said blade for leveling and smoothing the snow.
3, The combination with a vehicle having a flat bed; of an apparatus for grooming snow on ski slopes, etc., comprising a boom mounting on said bed; a blade mounted on the end of said boom for engagement with the snow; said blade being shaped to have a plurality of snow-grooming surfaces; means operably connecting said b ade with said boom for selectively-presenting d1 ferent ones of said surfaces against the engaged snow to effect one type of grooming thereof; and a plurality of harrow teeth mounted on and projecting through one.
of said surfaces for scarifying the snow.
4. An elongated bar for grooming engagement with snow on ski slopes comprising a blade having an initial bend to form a snow-wedging surface, a second bend terminating said wedging surface and forming a compacting surface, a final bend to terminate the compacting surface and define a snow-cutting surface; and a plurality of harrow teeth mounted on and projecting through said wedging surface for scarifying the snow.
5. The combination recited in claim 4; and a mesh drag fixed to the trailing edge of said blade for leveling and smoothing the snow.

The country's best B-school, Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIM-A) has generated a net surplus of Rs 6.83 crore for the 2010-11 fiscal year as a result of hike in the fee from the past three years.
IIM-A had increased the fee by nearly six-folds for their flagship Postgraduate Programme (PGP) in management from Rs 2 lakh to Rs 11.5 lakh in 2008. In 2010-11, the fee was hiked by 25% and for the 2012-14 batch the PGP programme was charged Rs 15.5 lakh. The fee income from the PGP in agri business management also rose by 52% in the 2010-11. The institute has driven the finance resource generation through fee hikes across the programmes they offer. Sources from the institute revealed that, both, the pre-unit realization and scale increased after the quota implementation and fee hike.
Other IIM's have also benefited from the fee hike process. IIM-Bangalore has recorded Rs 42.82 lakh increase in the total income in 2010-11 after they increased the fee for the Executive Education Programmes (EEPs) and the PGP, accounting to 88% increase in the total income. With increase in the number of EEPs, the income from the EEP has increased by 68% reported the sources from the institute. In addition, the increasing number of international programmes has also added to a significant increase in the revenue and per-programme rates.
At IIM-Calcutta, the total income has increased to Rs 104.69 crore from Rs 83.96 crore (25% increase).The institute's corpus fund has gone up from Rs 16 crore to Rs 22.16 crore. The institute has also recorded a 10% revenue from the online education programmes this year, which is higher than the percentage recorded by the Stanford and Harvard business schools.
IIM-A, IIM-B and IIM-C are now looking forward to fund-raising from their alumni network as these institutes do not seek grants from the government to run their administration.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for The Fistula Foundation, San Jose, CA, USA
I began to contribute to the Fistula Foundation in 2003, after I read an Op-Ed piece by Nicholas Kristof in the New York Times. The article moved me deeply. So often, we get so caught up in our own lives that we become oblivious to the suffering of others in other parts of the world. This article and the movie "A Walk to Beautiful" led me to help alleviate the suffering of women afflicted with fistulas. As a donor, I appreciate the ease with which I can contribute (monthly by a charge to my credit card) and look forward to the newsletters, which bring me up-to-date on the Foundation's activities. I also appreciate the fact that this organization is committed to maintaining a low overhead, so that as much money as possible can go for the Foundation's mission. I would highly recommend the Fistula Foundation to potential donors as an effective and efficient way to alleviate suffering of people who have no one else to advocate for them.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

When I bought my first few pieces of Haitian art a dozen or so years ago, I knew zilch about Haitian art. What I learned very quickly, however, is that it can be addictive. Now I know considerably more about Haitian art, and my home is filled with it: 16 oil and acrylic paintings and two watercolors in the bedroom alone, with more in the living room, the kitchen, the hallway, even the bathroom.
So you can imagine my delight when I discovered that Gallery Six at the Broward County Main Library was hosting a show called "A New Era: Haitian Art in the Diaspora." It's a modest show, nowhere near as sweeping as "Where Art Is Joy: Forty Years of Haitian Art," the exhibition put on by Fort Lauderdale's Museum of Art in its heyday in 1989.
"A New Era" includes more than 50 pieces by about 30 artists, and it's a mixed bag. There's not a lot in the way of marketplace scenes or workers in the fields or fishing boats, the subject matter many people associate with Haitian art. Nor are there the beaded vodou flags and steel-cutout tap-tap buses that are so distinctively Haitian.
A New Era: Haitian Art in the Diaspora" and "Healing Thru Art: An Exhibition Featuring the Works of Female Prisoners in the Broward Womens Correctional Facility
Broward County Main Library, Gallery Six, Sixth Floor, 100 S. Andrews Ave., Fort Lauderdale

One pair of acrylic paintings, Louis Rosemond's Jungle I and Jungle II, is typical of a certain style of Haitian painting (one that leaves me cold) in which jungle animals are rendered with naïve technique in bright colors. Another two acrylics, on the other hand -- Bermy Dorvil's Le Retour du Chasseur and En Enfant Polisson -- are excellent examples of the Cap-Haitien style, which often features stylized urban scenes captured in crisp, clean lines and more delicate palettes.
Le Retour du Chasseur applies the Cap-Haitien style to a rural scene, with a woman outside an ornate country house greeting a man on horseback who seems to have returned from bird-hunting. En Enfant Polisson is a busy, unusually witty street scene: A little boy at the top of a house's porch steps gleefully pisses onto the sidewalk below; an angry woman, presumably his mother, crosses the porch to punish him; a flower vendor on the street nearby looks on in amazement; a little girl on the other side of the street points out the incident to the man at her side; and a couple just around the corner flirts, oblivious to what's going on a few feet away. As a footnote, Dorvil plants a bright-red fire hydrant in the lower left corner.
Jean Edner Cadet's Landscape I and Landscape II, also acrylics, have the feel of classic Haitian "dream landscapes," featuring a wide variety of lush tropical foliage in soft, dreamy pastels. The former includes the small, rounded hillocks seen in so many Haitian paintings, as well as a pond in the center of the image. An ill-defined mermaid in the center of the pond is the piece's one big mistake. The second landscape has the same lush foliage and hillocks and water, with the addition of some water birds and a handful of people approaching in the distance on the right.
Then there are a few Haitian artists represented in the show who have taken their inspiration from cubism and ventured into territory best left unexplored: blocky, fragmented imagery that teeters uneasily on the line dividing tacky decorative art from fine art. Some of the nudes are also borderline cheesy. Another iffy item here is Alphonse "Alpi" Piard's Metamorphosis Diptych, dominated by swirls of vibrant color incorporating tropical foliage and snail shells, adding up to something that suggests Peter-Max-goes-Haitian.
But some of the other artists shatter our preconceptions of what constitutes Haitian art. Profondeur Dugeste, a mixed-media work by Léonel Jules, is a beautifully simple, long, narrow vertical abstract in which the purple, green, orange, black, and white tones are in perfect harmony. And there's lots going on in Gone with the Wind and The Tribe, two mixed-media pieces by Lucien Leconte. The latter, in particular -- probably the exhibition's strongest work -- is a tantalizing melange of elongated figures, rune-like markings, and crumpled strips of some sort of metallic substance, all set in a looming archway and accented here and there by crudely applied swaths of orange and a dramatic teal squiggle.
At its best, "A New Era" is a reminder of the astounding diversity of Haitian art. That diversity never ceases to amaze me, given that it has been a product of such a small, impoverished country. Haitians have grappled with political instability, terror, crushing poverty, hunger, AIDS, and environmental disaster for so long it's difficult to imagine when they enjoyed a semblance of normal life. Perhaps the extraordinary fecundity of Haitian artists is a reaction to the horrific circumstances of their homeland.
What this exhibition fails to do is to provide even the most rudimentary context for the art it presents. We get just the names of the work and the artist, the medium, and the dimensions, nothing more. The inclusion of the term "diaspora" in the show's title suggests that these artists may be exiles from their country, although there's nothing posted to explain that diaspora refers to a dispersion of an originally homogenous people, language, or culture. (The original term, capitalized, referred to "the dispersion of Jews outside of Israel from the Sixth Century B.C., when the Jews were exiled to Babylonia, until the present time," according to my American Heritage Dictionary.)
It's a shame such context isn't provided on even a photocopied handout, because people seeing Haitian art for the first time might not recognize that this show is just a tiny fragment of a much bigger picture.

After taking in "A New Era," I wandered over to a small display on the fringes of Gallery Six I had noticed out of the corner of my eye. It consists of a crowded row of unceremoniously presented pieces displayed on metal grid panels. Without realizing it, I started at the wrong end and mistakenly assumed that the art is by schoolchildren.
It was only when I reached the other end of the show that I saw its title: "Healing Thru Art: An Exhibition Featuring the Works of Female Prisoners in the Broward Women's Correctional Facility." A postcard handout ("A New Era" organizers, take note) explains that this art is a therapeutic tool for female inmates who were victims of physical or sexual abuse. "Alcohol and drug abuse, promiscuity, self-mutilations and misdirected anger are all symptomatic of abused persons with no creative outlet to express their pain. Prisoners who engage in arts and education programs show a 70 percent reduction in repeat offenses... Supporting the arts in prison not only helps these women to heal, but makes our community a safer place," it says.
Fair enough. Such a context explains the crude, childlike style of the pieces on display -- they were created by untrained amateurs coming to terms with traumatic events. Still, some of these women show promise, at least based on the single pieces displayed here. A desert Southwest landscape with modified geometric shapes is reminiscent of the work of Georgia O'Keeffe. Another hilly landscape is portrayed with the stark simplicity of classic Asian art. An appealing abstract features intersecting lines and a few geometric shapes.
Bottom line: If you're visiting "A New Era," take a few minutes to appreciate the unpolished work of these women.

About today:
Ada Lovelace Day is an international day of blogging (videologging, podcasting, comic drawing etc.!) to draw attention to the achievements of women in technology and science. Women's contributions often go unacknowledged, their innovations seldom mentioned, their faces rarely recognized. We want you to tell the world about these unsung heroines, whatever they do. It doesn't matter how new or old your blog is, what gender you are, what language you blog in, or what you normally blog about – everyone is invited.
Who was Ada? Ada Lovelace Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace (10 December 1815 – 27 November 1852) was one of the world's first computer programmers, and one of the first people to see computers as more than just a machine for doing sums. She wrote programs for Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine, a general-purpose computing machine, despite the fact that it was never built. She also wrote the very first description of a computer and of software.

What do you mean by "formatted"? The term 'format' refers to file systems. Did you wipe the hard disk--ie, remove all formatting? Or did you add partitions and format a file system on those partitions?
If the latter, remove all partitions and start over. If the former, make sure your bios is set to boot from CD, press any key at the "boot from CD" prompt, and let XP create and format your partitions for you.

Peakour for iPhone/iPod
Take on the role of PeaG as he skillfully manuevers through 100 challenging parkour puzzles while avoiding the ZomPeas. Position bits of junk with varying shapes and physical attributes to manipulate PeaG to perform cool tic-tacs, back-flips, rolls, cat leaps, grinds, vaults and spring jumps. Best of all, collect 250 bottle caps and create your own levels to share with friends and other players.? USA TODAY - "Visually, the game boasts high-resolution graphics and some of the smoothest animation seen in an iOS game to date. PeaG's movements are incredibly fluid as he runs, rolls, dives and backflips through the perilous environments."For less than a dollar, there's quite a bit of charming and challenging gameplay to be found in Peakour HD for iPad."? G4TV.com:Knuckles Up - "Peakour has a lot of fun physics and some good challenges within, so if you're into puzzles, give it a whirl."? Wired.com:GeekDad - "It's a little different from some physics-based puzzlers like Crayon Physics, where a ball just rolls down the path of least resistance. The pea will actually jump when it gets to the edge of a platform, and various moves allow it to change direction or go over certain obstacles. It takes some trial and error to get where you're going.There's a whole bunch of levels to keep you busy, particularly if you're going after all the bottle caps."? BlastMagazine.com - "It makes for a great pick-up-and play game that's actually pretty inexpensive for the amount of content you get. Don't judge Peakour by its looks and frivolous jokes – this smart little game is definitely not for peabrains."? Famigo.com – "Score 4/5 Star Review: Peakour is a very unique gaming experience. The theme is very cute as a pea attempts to get from one side of the level to the other. Gameplay is fun and the music is catchy."? Best10apps.com – "Score 4.5/5: Peakour is a challenging game that provides you a bigger, better gaming experience. It's your must have puzzle game. The perfect amount of content will attract you, you will find you totally get into this game.? 148apps.com – "The refusal to adhere to the expected norm is what makes Peakour special. Rather than control the little jumping (and flipping, and wall-running) bean, they have to piece together a course and watch him run through it automatically."? Gamezebo.com – "A very functional puzzler with a good amount of content and a style of play that lends itself well to pick-up-and-play." ? Softonic.com – "Peakour is a fun puzzle game that illustrates a different gameplay experience."? FamilyfFriendlyGaming.com – "I know it can be difficult to come up with a completely new mascot. We have plumbers, hedgehogs, bandicoots, cats, dogs, bird, and more in the industry. So I give Peakour points for creativity, and trying something really different. I believe there is an audience out there for this app."Game Features:•100 levels, 4 worlds•Realistic physics•Amazing graphics and animations•Fun achievements •Leaderboard•Individual profiles for multi-household playing•Unlock level creator to create your own level & share with othersFollow us for Peakour updates and more information on upcoming games.http://www.facebook.com/gottapeashttp://www.twitter.com/gottapea

An analysis of migratory systems: 2. Operational framework
This is the second in a series of three interrelated papers which aim to combine evolutionary migration models with stochastic utility theory. The first paper dealt with migratory dynamics. Here the details are given of a choice model, established by McFadden, which can be used in conjunction with migratory dynamics thus providing an explicit link between the macroproperties of the population system and human behaviour. First, the structure of transition probabilities is derived under a two-level decision to migrate. An argument is then given about the empirical form of these probabilities, and the discussion closes with a method which can be used for their maximum likelihood estimation.

CME: Futures Open High and Fade, Tuesday03 April 2013
US - Live cattle futures got off to a firmer start, but futures softened throughout Tuesday and ended low-range with losses of 95 cents to $1.32 1/2, write experts at ProFarmer.
Feeder cattle futures finished near the top of their daily trading range with losses of 57 1/2 to 95 cents. Nearby contracts led today's price decline. Traders took advantage of dollar strength and the recent rally in the cattle market by booking profits on Tuesday.
June Cattle closed sharply lower on the day but did manage to bounce more than 50 points off of the lows. The market saw choppy to a little higher trade into the pit opening but turned lower to post moderately lower trade on the day into the mid-session, write market experts at CME.
With weak packer margins and the availability of contracted cattle for early April, traders are questioning the ability of the cash market to trade higher over the near-term. The jump in beef prices on Monday yesterday may help improve packer margins; especially if packers are using contracted cattle.
In addition, the discount of futures to the cash market may help limit the downside. Ideas that the market is overbought after the recent jump higher helped to pressure the market into the mid-session.
Weather is shifting from below normal temperatures now to above normal in the next few weeks and this has traders looking for better demand; especially for grilling on the East Coast.
Boxed-beef cut-out values at mid-session today came in at $191.75, up $1.22 from Monday and up from $190.43 last week at this time.
Slaughter came in right on trade expectations at 121,000 head.

A Walk In The Woods
Welcome to my genealogy page. Here you'll find all research I've done on my family trees thus far. I say "trees" because finding your ancestors, and their families and descendants, quickly branches out into proportions of hundreds, then THOUSANDS!
The links below will take you to my "main lines" (direct ancestors), and also a surname list and people list of every individual in my database. There is also a page of name histories and coats of arms, a "virtual cemetery" page with links to photos that I've taken of ancestors graves, an online soundex converter that I wrote, and link to my family tree page at familytreemaker.com - only my direct ancestors are shown there.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you find or suspect a link between your research and mine!
"We live in an age that has little respect for the past and shows no inclination to profit by the experience of those who have lived sucessfully and died in peace." ~Gilbert H. Doane
"What we learn about our ancestors, we learn about ourselves. We also learn about history in a most immediate way, as we could not otherwise learn it.... History and genealogy are inseperable." ~Eugene A. Stratton
"There is no king who has not had a slave among his ancestors, and no slave who has not had a king among his." ~Helen Keller
"Genealogy is indeed the handmaid of history when it leads us into a greater appreciation of what the generations of the earth have accomplished before us. Add to that the thrill of the chase, the satisfaction of solving puzzles, the delight in making new discoveries, and, not least significant, the association with many fine people--for genealogy seems to attract people who are far more than just ordinarily interesting--and, yes, it is worth the candle. With but a little effort, one will get out of genealogy much more than one puts into it." ~Eugene A. Stratton

text: I recently had a bass assembled for me by an expert who's been doing this for me for about 25 years. I'll ask him about this, but I thought I'd ask here first, for more input. The bass has an alder Squier body, a Mighty Mite neck (with maple fingerboard) and Fender Original Precision Bass pickups. The bridge is a '90s Fender string-though-body one. The tuners are Schallers. My question is: The E string has a muted, dead tone. It sounds that way acoustically, too. It sounds that way with more than one set of strings. (I've used GHS Boomers and Dunlop Nickels on it. Identical gauges.) It sounds that way whether I string the E string through the body, or through the top of the bridge. The fretwork is beautiful, the nut is fine, and the other strings sound loud, with full harmonic content. The pickups are nice and low (the tops are about 1/4" above the face of the bass) and perfectly level (so the polepieces "assigned" to the E string are not any lower or higher than the others). I'd like to keep this bass because it plays beautifully and the other strings sound great. But the E is a deal-breaker. My guess is that there is something about the neck or body woods that is causing dampening, or low resonance. In that case, there's not much to do but replace one or both, or just sell the bass. Any ideas??
