And the 1977 tapes keep rolling. As part of my research for the extensive coverage of the 1977 US tour in the next Tight But Loose, I’ve been wading through a crop of live CD’s from that celebrated period. One performance that always stands out is the version of Over The Hills And Far Away as captured on the last night of their six show Los Angeles Forum stint.
It commences with a series of tantalising warm up runs from Jimmy before he embarks on that revolving intro which is guaranteed to send shivers down the spine every time. The solo is just out of this world. A series of staggered ripples form the Gibson that swoop and glide across the speakers. It brings to mind that story from one of their gigs at the beginning of the ’75 tour when Jimmy informed Robert not to expect any long solos as he was tired and ill – only for that particular nights Over The Hills to stretch to over eight minutes and more. This LA version is of similar length. It’s a stark reminder that Led Zeppelin could still be as vital and enterprising in 1977 as they had been in 1969. And at the helm of it all still…was the true lord of the strings.

That 1977 performance of Over The Hills And Far Away features in the 60 great Jimmy Page performances listing that forms the centrepeice of the new Tight But Loose magazine. Last Tuesday night my computer clock ticked over to precisely 10pm as I sent the final round up of revisions for the new issue to Martyn. It signalled the end of a journey that has had many twists and turns along the way, including a planning meeting last November that ended rather abruptly with me being carted off by the paramedics. Laugh? We didn’t much at the time, but that was just one of the many hurdles that had to be overcome in the quest to bring the new issue to fruition. Hopefully when you see the end result it will all have been worth it.

Country music superstar Randy Owen will headline a Nov. 15 concert as part of the 10th anniversary celebration of the MaryEllen Locher Foundation at the Tivoli Theatre.

The Alabama frontman will perform along with a host of friends and special guests to raise money for the foundation, named in honor of the late WTVC anchorwoman. The organization helps families affected by breast cancer through college scholarships and breast cancer awareness initiatives.

The fundraiser will be a mixture of pink Hollywood glam and country celebration. The pink-carpet arrival will be complete with paparazzi and lights as breast cancer survivors receive a pink rose and sign their name on a star walk. Other highlights include the presentation of a scholarship during the 7:30 p.m. concert to surprise a local student and the student's family.

During its heyday, Alabama earned 21 gold records, 43 No. 1 hits and more than 150 industry accolades, including eight Entertainer of the Year awards, Grammys and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Owen has raised millions of dollars for schools, hospitals, youth ranches and tornado relief. His charitable work on behalf of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital earned him the prestigious Founder's Award. He serves as an advisory board member of the MaryEllen Locher Foundation.

Tickets to the concert go on sale today and are $50. They are available at the Tivoli box office, 709 Broad St., or by calling 757-5050 or visiting www.etix.com/ticket/online/venue Search.jsp?venue_id=1470. For sponsorship opportunities, call 490-4555 or 488-9784.

8e09 Eye On The Left: Nudity, mulligans, Barry and gaffes | Times Free Press

Eye On The Left: Nudity, mulligans, Barry and gaffes

Eye On The Left: Nudity, mulligans, Barry and gaffes

August 11th, 2014 in Opinion Free Press

Bi-Coastal Nudity

George Davis is baring his soul and a lot more in his effort to be elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. Indeed, he took his campaign across the country last week, getting naked in Times Square and espousing his campaign for the right to be nude in public.

His opponent in the race, incumbent Scott Wiener (yes, really), had introduced a public nudity ban in San Francisco in 2013.

Davis, who says nudity is a form of expression and has been arrested twice for public nudity, conducted his Times Square interviews in the buff and then walked over to where artist Andy Golub was body-painting another naked man as cameras flashed and onlookers laughed.

The San Francisco candidate also ran for mayor in 2007 and for District 10 supervisor in 2010.

Obamacare Mulligans

Remember the Obamacare mandate that if you don't buy health insurance, you'd have to pay a fine? Well, with exemptions, that doesn't cover too many people, and now the number's gotten even smaller, according to a Wall Street Journal report on an analysis by the Congressional Budget Office and the Joint Committee on Taxation.

While 30 million Americans are believed to be without health insurance, the number expected to pay the fine in 2016 -- currently $95 per adult or 1 percent of family income, whichever is greater -- has dropped to 4 million from the last report of 6 million.

The Affordable Care Act originally exempted illegal immigrants, members of certain American Indian tribes and members of certain religious sects. Since then, the administration has added exemptions for hardships such as domestic violence, property damage suffered in a fire or flood, having a health plan canceled when Obamacare went into effect last October, and people who "experienced another hardship acquiring health insurance."

Almost anyone could come up with a good excuse for the last one -- too busy playing golf on Martha's Vineyard? -- and, to top it off, those who use the latter excuse don't need documentation.

People in states which have not opted to expand their Medicaid program under the health law also may be exempted. And those who receive subsidies through the federal Obamacare exchange may qualify for a hardship waiver if the subsidies are struck down in court.

The problem is, many of the exemptions are going to young people -- the people the administration planned would pay for the program. But if the insurance pool skews toward older, comparatively unhealthy people, premiums are likely to rise.

Business As Usual

Former Washington, D.C., Democrat mayor and current Councilman Marion Barry, as of last weekend, owed $2,824 in unpaid parking tickets. His car, a Jaguar, had been impounded. When a television investigative reporter pressed him about some of the tickets, Barry did what many of his fellow party members do -- change the subject.

"In this town," said Barry, who once did federal prison time for drug charges, "we decide what's important and not important at the station and in the community. And with all the stuff going on with the City Council up here, this going on over here, going on over here, you know. You're talking about parking tickets? That's ridiculous!"

He also dissembled, claiming the tickets were for a car he wasn't driving, though he claimed no one else would have been driving it.

No one will be surprised to know Barry somehow got his fine reduced by $1,000 before paying off the rest of the tickets and getting his car out of the impound lot.

Dems Gaffe-Prone This Time

In 2012, Republicans lost sure-fire Senate seat wins with gaffe-prone candidates Todd Akin in Missouri and Richard Mourdock in Indiana. This time around, it's the Democrats who don't quite have it together. But don't look for Big Media to hound them as much as they did the GOP candidates in 2012.

Sen. John Walsh of Montana fell by the wayside Thursday, leaving the campaign for his seat after being exposed in The New York Times for plagiarizing his 2007 master's thesis. And it was recently reported that Georgia Democrat candidate Michelle Nunn's campaign plan was leaked, revealing its wording that she could come across as a "lightweight" and a "liberal" and that she and her family should be photographed "in rural settings with rural-oriented imagery" to combat her image as an Atlanta politician.

Also recently, Alison Lundergan Grimes, who is challenging GOP Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in Kentucky, thought Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system had something to do with stopping terrorists coming into the country through tunnels.

Trey Porter RBIs win for Mississippi State

Trey Porter RBIs win for Mississippi State

June 18th, 2013 by Associated Press in Sports - College

OMAHA, Neb. - Trey Porter drove in the go-ahead runs in the eighth inning, and Mississippi State took control of its bracket in the College World Series with a 5-4 victory over Indiana on Monday night.

The Bulldogs (50-18) need one win to reach next week's best-of-three finals. They're off until Friday, when they'll play Indiana (49-15) or Oregon State. Those teams play an elimination game Wednesday.

Oregon State earlier beat Louisville 11-4 in an elimination game.

Mississippi State erased a 3-2 deficit after Brett Pirtle and Wes Rea singled leading off the eighth against reliever Ryan Halstead (4-5). Pirtle beat Will Nolden's throw home to tie it on DeMarcus Henderson's liner into right.

Brian Korte took over for Halstead with two out, and Porter sent his 3-1 pitch into the right-center gap to score Rea and Henderson for a two-run lead.

Chad Girodo (9-1), who relieved starter Trevor Fitts with one out in the third, pitched a 1-2-3 eighth inning but left in the ninth when Indiana threatened.

Porter had entered the game in the sixth inning as a pinch hitter. He gave the Hoosiers faithful a scare with a drive to the right-field warning track that Nolden caught to keep it a one-run game.

Porter, a .250 batter, didn't play in Saturday's 5-4 win over Oregon State and came into Monday with just two hits in his previous 14 at-bats since May 4.

Indiana, in the CWS for the first time, had its seven-game win streak end, but not until making things interesting in the last inning.

Chris Sujka, pinch hitting for Nolden, singled to lead off the ninth, and Sam Travis doubled off the wall in left center to put runners on third and second with one out. Sujka scored on Scott Donley's groundout, bringing on closer Jonathan Holder.

Michael Basil hit a chopper in front of the mound. Holder fielded it cleanly and bounced his throw to Rea at first, prompting a big fist bump between the two as they began celebrating.

Fitts, who had pitched only 26 innings and mostly in relief, went 2 1/3 innings before turning things over to Girodo, who struck out 10 in 6 1/3 innings.

Indiana freshman starter Will Coursen-Carr was solid in his 5 1/3 innings, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks.

Indiana had a chance to add to its 3-1 lead in the fifth after having runners on third and second with one out. But Nick Ammirati tagged out Travis at home and Girodo struck out Casey Smith.

The Bulldogs pulled to 3-2 in the sixth on Rea's single and were poised to get more with the bases loaded and one out. Ammirati popped out to shortstop before Porter's long fly to right ended the inning.

Dynamite Dozen: Cleveland's Chad Voytik has all the answers

August 14th, 2011 by Gene Henley in Sports - Preps

Cleveland's Chad Voytik has been nominated as one of the Times Free Press's Dynamite Dozen area football players for 2011.

No. 1

School: Cleveland

Height: 6-foot-1

Weight: 202

College interest: Committed to University of Pittsburgh

CLEVELAND, Tenn. - Cleveland quarterback Chad Voytik knows the questions are out there.

Is he tall enough to play elite-level football? Is he as good as advertised?

He might not knows the answers to the aforementioned questions - nobody does - but he does feel as though he has the work ethic to go out and strive to be the best.

The nation's No. 6 pro-style quarterback has had the questions swirling around him for the past two seasons and most assuredly will have them coming this year, as the 6-foot-1, 202-pound senior has committed to play for the University of Pittsburgh in 2012. His rankings and accomplishments - which include national Elite 11 quarterback status - have him ranked as the No. 1 prospect in the Times Free Press Dynamite Dozen.

"I really have learned to not let all of that other stuff get to me," he said. "I just know that this is my senior year, and I can't do anything more than go out, compete and have fun."

The self-proclaimed "nerd in the classroom," who envisions himself being either a businessman or lawyer in 10 years should he not be playing football, also excels academically, with a 4.0 GPA and a 29 on the ACT his junior year, but it was his 40 time of 4.59, his 315-pound bench press and dynamic arm that made him a hot commodity nationally, as he chose the Big East Panthers over 13 schools, including Southeastern Conference schools Mississippi State and Vanderbilt.

New-Pitt coach Todd Graham comes from a Tulsa offense that averaged over 500 yards per game the past few seasons.

"Pittsburgh has what I want academically as well as on the football field," he said. "I know I'm not the tallest quarterback out there, so going to a school and a system that has such a great offense will give me the stats that I'll need to get noticed and possibly make it to the NFL, which is my dream."

For now, he's just going to deal with his senior season as he tries to break in a new set of receivers. He threw for 1,850 yards and 17 touchdowns a year ago, but 75 percent of his completions were to receivers that are no longer playing at Cleveland, and his leading returning pass-catcher is classmate Brandon Strickland, who had eight catches and a pair of touchdowns last season. His best game as a Raider came in the season opener, as he completed all 11 of his passes for 248 yards and five touchdowns - all in the first half of a 47-6 romp over McMinn Central.

"We all help each other out," Strickland said. "I've been with Chad since we were in middle school, so I know him. [The receivers] know that if Chad does well, it benefits us, and for him to look good, we have to catch passes.

"If we each do that, everybody will be successful."

One would think that the difference between adjusting from elite-level receivers in the summertime to solid route-runners in the fall might be frustrating. Voytik however, loves it.

"I don't really know anything about the guys I see in the summer," he said. "I know my teammates; over the year, we develop chemistry. We've got some young, talented guys that are going to be good, and I love having them as my teammates."

9011 Wilcox focus is on Vols | Times Free Press

Wilcox focus is on Vols

Wilcox focus is on Vols

December 23rd, 2010 by Wes Rucker in Sports

Knoxville News Sentinel Tennessee defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox works with players, from left, Tyler Wills, Charles Karlosky and Grant Jessen during spring practice at Haslam Field. This was Wilcox's first campaign with the Vols after spending the previous four years as defensive coordinator at Boise State.

Knoxville News Sentinel Tennessee defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox works...

KNOXVILLE -- University of Tennessee defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox met with the media after Wednesday morning's practice, but he didn't disclose his level of interest in a similar position at the University of Texas.

Wilcox, who is paid $600,000 in the first year of a three-year contract with Tennessee, has become at least a viable option for the position at Texas. Sources from both programs have confirmed that.

Still, Wilcox maintained that his "sole focus" remains on the Volunteers and their preparations for a Dec. 30 Music City Bowl game against North Carolina.

"OK, guys, I know what you guys are doing here all of a sudden," Wilcox said with his typical smile. "Here's the deal: I have a great job at Tennessee. I have not been offered any other jobs. I'm not in discussions about any other jobs. I believe 100 percent in what we're doing here at Tennessee. I back Coach [Derek] Dooley 100 percent in where this program is going.

"My sole focus, 100 percent, along with all the other coaches, is getting ready for North Carolina. That's what I've spent my time doing, and will continue to spend my time doing.

"So that's about it. We can talk about North Carolina."

Jimmy Stanton, Tennessee's Associate Athletic Director for Communications, told reporters before Wilcox's interview that the coach would open with a statement and then only take questions about the Vols' bowl game.

When reporters asked non-bowl questions, including one specifically about his reported contact with Texas head coach Mack Brown, Stanton interrupted and said, "Guys, he's not going to go into that."

All Wilcox added about his job situation is that it hasn't been a distraction.

"There's no distraction," said Wilcox, who added that Tennessee's other coaches haven't asked him about the matter. "I've been up there working the whole time. I don't know. We're practicing and we're up there getting ready for North Carolina. That's all we're doing."

Sources close to the Texas program have indicated that Brown will wait until after Tennessee's bowl game to replace the departed Will Muschamp -- who is now Florida's head coach -- and some have indicated that Wilcox is one of the top candidates, possibly atop the list.

Dooley didn't meet with the media on Wednesdays -- a day typically reserved for his assistants to speak with reporters -- but he said earlier this week he wasn't "losing sleep" over his assistants' futures.

"[Others] can call my coaches all the time and offer them anything they want, and if our coaches want to leave, they can leave," Dooley said earlier this week. "I'm not going to beg a guy to stay, because I've got thousands of them right behind him waiting for their job. And we don't depend on an assistant coach, just like one player doesn't make a program. We have a staff. We have an organization. I believe this is a phenomenal job, and I believe our coaches are happy. It's a great job. They're well-compensated. We've got some good talent here. And we've got a chance to do some special things. I'm losing sleep over North Carolina, not our coaches."

Dooley on Monday said he wasn't aware of reports from Texas that Wilcox's departure was Knoxville was imminent and inevitable.

"I'm not talking about Internet rumors," Dooley said. "I'm not talking about Lance Thompson and Justin Wilcox and Jim Chaney. I'm not going to do that, guys, because every year there's going to be talk about our coaches going somewhere, because we have a good staff, and that's a good thing. Every year I talk to all of our coaches about other opportunities -- 'Where do you want to head professionally? What are you thinking long-term wise? How can I help you?' -- because we all are in it for Tennessee, but then everybody's got their personal goals that they have.

"And I don't think that's worthy of public record. I don't think that's a fair thing."

Marion Co. Commission prepares to
make several big hiring decisions
Funny Shirts
From the Sept. 4, 2013 newspaper
By Richard Harris
Marion County officials are sorting through applicants in preparation to make a couple of very important hiring decisions, as they will soon fill two new positions, county manager and recreation director, as well as fill two vacant positions, chief tax appraiser and water superintendent.
County Manager: In June county commissioners made the big decision to establish the county manager position and hire someone with enough education/experience to basically take over control of day-to-day operations of the local government and supervision of county employees. Currently, the county operates with a county clerk who has very limited authority.
Response to the opening of the county manager position was strong, as 23 people applied and the commissioners said almost all of them appeared to be qualified.
They recently narrowed the list down to five people and interviewed each of them. This week they are expected to pick their top choice and offer the job.
We have some very good applicants for the county manager position and we are excited about getting a good person in place, said Commissioner Larry Ogan.
Recreation Director: Commissioners have given the go-ahead for members of the Recreation Board to advertise for a recreation director. The advertisement is on Page 6B of the newspaper. Plans are for the Board to review resumes and handle the interviewing and then make a recommendation to the commissioners, who will have the final vote.
This is also a new full-time position. The county has $45,000 in the budget for the Recreation Department and the board believes this is enough to hire a director and still meet other obligations. Recreation Board Chairman Jan Whitley noted that they will still get some revenue from concession stand sales and fundraisers, and that parents/volunteers are used to working hard to help out the programs for the local youths.
The plan is to hire a recreation director before the end of the year so 2014 can be a fresh start with a director in place.
We (members of the Recreation Board) are not taking our job lightly, said Whitley. We have put a lot of hours of discussion, research, and debate into hiring a director.
The first year will likely see baseball, softball, and tennis as the sports that are offered by the county. Officials are also still hopeful of working something out in the future with the City of Buena Vista to jointly offer other sports, such as football and basketball, or at least to work together in some way with the various sports.
Chief Tax Appraiser: The county is also searching for a new chief tax appraiser after Tom Leanza was let go from the position. They will temporarily contract the position, as it is not one that can go vacant during an employee search.
Water Superintendent: Longtime Water Superintendent Travis Welch recently retired, leaving another important position vacant. Actually, he has agreed to continue to work on a month-to-month basis while a replacement is found, as it is important to have a qualified/certified employee to perform various tests and submit reports to the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD).
Other News: The commissioners have an engineer reviewing the water system in hopes of getting advice on adjustments that might be made to reduce the amount of breaks/leaks in water lines, especially in the northern portion of the county. They also recently agreed to look into improving maintenance on a dirt road that local resident Joanne Watson has voiced concerns about. In addition, they recently voted to raise the bond for timber cutting operations from $2,500 to $5,000, and to increase the fine for those who fail to report timber cutting from $500 to $1,000 (and to work harder to enforce the obligation to make the reports).

Santa Cruz

Cyrena rescued me with another long day out, this time in the Santa Cruz area. I drove up and over a small, windy pass and down toward Cyrena's childhood home on a grey, cold, rainy morning, dreaming about promised baked goods from Companion Bakeshop.

Once we picked up some breakfast we headed for the water and watched surfers for a bit outside the Surfing Museum. Then we headed down the road to Natural Bridges State Beach, where we took in the sights over the fence instead of heading down to the sand because it was still pretty windy and cold.

The next stop was Wilder Ranch State Park, which is still a working ranch with a few animals near the water. The buildings are beautiful and well maintained. It was here that the sun made a valiant effort and came out fully, increasing my happiness level quickly.

We drove up into the hills to check out the UC Santa Cruz campus, which is many, many acres of redwoods and cow pastures, with about a dozen small colleges tucked here and there into the trees. The emphasis there was definitely on the outdoors.

We headed off to Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park to ogle the trees and sniff the cool piney air. We saw a massive banana slug and a herd of deer (much needed sighting by Cyrena!)

We headed to Davenport Roadhouse for lunch, where the food was decent and the service was as slow as molasses. After lunch we went to the aptly named Shark Fin Cove, a highly Instagrammed and breathtaking spot just over some train tracks and down a precipitous trail to the beach.

After clambering back up to the top and walking along the clifftop for a bit, we headed back into town and called it a day. A very, very good day.

Check out the housing cleaning on my Twitter @TrafficisGold account. In just one day Twitter took out 350+ accounts that where following me. This is good news people! I am a big fan of this house cleaning and think it should happen much more regularly. You can see by the picture my numbers bounced back very fast, but let’s just hope the new accounts are real people and not more spam accounts. Only time will tell. Has your account been hit? My wife’s account @YogaStuff was not affected, which means she has very few spam accounts following her. Good for her!

New Epic Dining Experiences at Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay

Published on : Thursday, June 23, 2016 brings people together, yet can stop the conversation? Is judged the best, if nothing is left? Food, of course. And sometimes, especially when travelling, there just aren’t enough meals in a day to experience all the flavours of a destination.

Combining this love for good food and immersive travel with stunning ocean-front locations, Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay has launched three unique dining experiences to enable guests to explore Bali through their palate:

Culinary Tour de Force: Four Courses, Four Locations

Exclusively available for only one booking per night, the Culinary Tour de Force is Bali’s first progressive dining experience within a 5-star resort. Guests will savour the extensive variety of local and international cuisine around the Resort in one unforgettable evening, with a progressive four-course dinner at four different locations. This seamless dining experience starts with sunset canapés at an ocean-front table for two along the Resort’s tranquil foreshore, with views along the wide curve of Jimbaran Beach and the traditional jukung fishing boats. Guests are escorted to Taman Wantilan restaurant for a Western entrée with elevated views, then to beach-front Sundara for a modern Asian main course, and back to a candle-lit garden in a private villa for the dessert finale. The only thing that doesn’t change is the discreet Four Seasons service throughout the evening.

Sunset Cruise Around Jimbaran Bay

One hasn’t experienced the real Jimbaran Bay, Bali’s traditional fishing village, unless they’ve seen it from the ocean. The Resort’s Sunset Cruise starts at the beach and sails through calm waters past dramatic cliffs to reveal the best sunset viewing spot, served up with canapés and Champagne afloat in the Indian Ocean.

Bali’s Longest Brunch

Some places are hard to leave – and Sundara beach-club and restaurant invites guests to stay all day with the launch of Bali’s Longest Brunch, every Sunday from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm. Join the all-day beach lifestyle of Jimbaran Bay with an indulgent Sunday Brunch of unlimited tapas served a la carte style, then laze and graze poolside or work it off with laps in the 57-metre beach-front pool or a stroll along Jimbaran Beach. Soak up the buzzing energy and DJ beats watching Mother Nature’s magic at work. From 5:00 pm, there’s another reason to stay on as the bartenders get busy for the Sundara Sundowners Happy Hour, daily from 5:00 to 7:00 pm. The Kids’ Club next door makes it the perfect family day out.

Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championships to attract 5 lakh visitors to London

Published on : Saturday, June 18, 2016

Wimbledon Lawn Tennis ChampionshipsWimbledon Lawn Tennis Championships to attract 5 lakh visitors to London

Experience two weeks of first-class tennis, strawberries and cream, and good-natured queuing, at the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championships to commence from June 27.

The world of tennis descends on Wimbledon in South West London every summer for the longest-running tennis tournament in the world, and one of four annual Grand Slam tennis events held around the globe.

Games are still played on the original playing surface, grass, and there’s a strict white-only dress code for players.

The tournament attracts around 500,000 spectators and millions of television viewers worldwide.

Almost uniquely for a major sporting event, Wimbledon offers spectators the chance to buy premium tickets on the day – but be prepared to queue!

Grab one of a limited number of tickets available daily by joining the queue at the Gate 3 turnstiles. You are only entitled to purchase one ticket per person queuing and payment is cash only.

Several thousand ground admission tickets are also available each day. These give you the chance to watch games from unreserved seating and standing areas on Courts 3 to 19. Once ground capacity has been reached, people standing in the queue are admitted on a one-out, one-in basis.

Tristania – European Construct Tour – Before the Tour

Photo (c) Oscar Gil Escobar

Even since before releasing Darkest White in May there had been talks of different tours to promote our new album, on more than one continent. As most people in the music society will know, there are a host of details that have to be right in order for a band to leave for longer tours. Some interesting enquiries came in, some we wanted to do.

When the offer of going on tour with Dark Tranquillity arrived, we immediately had a good feeling. They wanted us to go with them on their European Construct tour – a two band billing with both bands having well recieved new albums in their luggage. All the details for the tour were soon solved, and early this autumn it was time for announcing a four week European tour, with Tristania jumping off for the last few dates in order to honour an already confirmed festival gig in Costa Rica. Dark Tranquillity’s World Construct Tour would begin already before we were to meet up with them in London, continue in the New Year, and visit basically every corner of the world. For us it was going to be a good opportunity to – for the fourth year running – hit the road in Europe to play for our loyal fans, but on the same time have the possibility to reach out to another band’s fans.

Preparations before the tour always include a session of “kill your darlings”, because after releasing seven albums now, the set list gets harder and harder to decide. Having a fresh album out, any band would like to present new stuff live, and combine these with songs from previous albums. Having had a stable live line up now for five or six years and having done quite a bit of touring, we do have a good feeling on which songs work out better live, and also what the audience wants to hear. The difficult thing, after so many albums is of course that different people have different favourite songs and it is totally impossible to satisfy everybody. This time we also took into concideration that we were going to tour with a fairly heavy (although very melodic) band, and we wanted to make set lists that wouldn’t be totally alien to potential new fans, who first and foremost would go to the gigs for Dark Tranquillity or for checking out two known band names. What we usually do when touring is to make a “pool” of songs, to be able to vary from day to day in order to keep things fresh, keeping us on our feet and of course to perfection the set. We knew that we were going to play approximately 50 minute sets every day, and chose the following songs for this tour (chronologically): Beyond the Veil, The Shining Path, Libre, The Wretched, Circus, Shadowman, Mercyside, Down, Sacrilege, Year of the Rat, Exile, The Passing, Number, Darkest White, Himmelfall, Requiem, Night on Earth, Diagnosis. We had an idea on must-play songs, with lots of possibilities to change the set from day to day.

Expectations for the tour were high. We were also looking forward to hooking up with Dark Tranquillity who through our correspondence before the tour seemed to be perfect touring mates.

Stay tuned for our first report from the tour.

Kosovo miners suspend strike at 'near-bankrupt' mine

SARAJEVO, Bosnia and Herzegovina - Hundreds of miners in Kosovo have ended their strike at a near-bankrupt mine after the Prime Minister Isa Mustafa urged them to halt the action.

The move followed several hours of negotiations between the management of the Trepca mining firm and the workers on Thursday.

Mustafa had said in a letter sent a day earlier to the miners: "The government of Kosovo will not allow any action that would jeopardize the interest of Trepca and the state of Kosovo."

He called for the protest, in which about 700 miners refused to resurface at the end of their shift on Tuesday, to "end as soon as possible".

Mustafa also said the government had taken the "necessary steps" to prevent the bankruptcy of Trepca, which is reported to have debts totaling €1.4 billion ($1.6 billion), and established a "development perspective".

- Decision reversed

About 700 miners 750 meters underground at the mine in northern Kosovo had refused to resurface on Wednesday demanding that the Kosovo government take over the near-bankrupt mine in Mitrovica with 24 hours.

The Kosovo government claims the mine company should be under the control of Pristina, while officials in Belgrade state it is 56 percent-owned by the Serbian Development Fund and Kosovo has no right to claim ownership.

Kosovo's new government said last week that they would take control of the Trepca mining complex through nationalization, but reversed its decision on Monday following a furious response from Serbia and intense discussions with Western diplomats.

Belgrade has warned that any attempt by Kosovo Government to take over the mine would jeopardize EU-mediated talks between the two sides.

The Trepca mine straddles the border between Kosovo and Serbia.

ITV Renews ‘Endeavour’ For Third Season

Category : News, UK News
Tags : ,

Detective Constable Morse is staying put on ITV.

The commercial broadcaster has renewed their Morse prequel Endeavour for a third season, TVWise has learned. ITV has ordered four episodes for the show’s third season, which will once again be shot on location in Oxford and is expected to air in 2015.

Endeavour follows a young detective Endeavour Morse and his partner Detective Inspector Fred Thursday as the investigate various crimes in the 1960′s. The series stars Shaun Evans as Morse, Roger Allam as Detective Inspector Fred Thursday, James Bradshaw as Dr Max Debryn and Abigail Thaw as Dorothea Frazil..

Endeavour was created by Russell Lewis and was initially piloted by ITV as a one-off drama in 2012, before the strong ratings prompted the broadcaster to pull the trigger on a series order. The Mammoth Screen produced series is executive produced by Russell Lewis, Michele Buck and Damien Timmer. Novelist Colin Dexter, who created the Morse character, serves as a creative consultant.

The renewal come after the second season premiered on ITV in March with a peak audience of 7.0m and a 27% share, making it one of the broadcaster’s best performing returning drama series of 2014. The final episode of the season also ranks as ITV’s best performing drama of any type for ABC1 Men so far this year.

The third season of Endeavour, which will again be written by Russell Lewis, will be set in 1967 and will pick up from the season two finale, which saw Endeavour Morse placed in police custody, framed for a murder he didn’t commit, and DI Fred Thursday’s life hanging in the balance after being shot in the chest.

“We are delighted be working with Mammoth Screen on a third series of Endeavour”, said ITV’s Director of Drama Steve November, who commissioned the third season alongside ITV’s Head of Drama Series Jane Hudson. “Russell Lewis has created four more fantastic stories and we’re looking forward to seeing Shaun Evans reprise his role as young Morse.”

While series creator, writer and executive producer Russell Lewis added: “Endeavour ’67… Pepper – Piper – Purple Haze… As ‘Oxford’s finest’ encounter friends and foes both old and new, our next quartet of mysteries will take the audience on a psychedelic Summer of Love fairground ride, filled with twists and turns, shrieks and scares. For something wicked this way comes…”

  • brownbreadandale4

    I am so disappointed with the way this series is headed. Shaun Evans is a stroke of genius as Morse; absolutely perfect. Roger Allam is equally perfect as his superior, DI Fred Thursday, and there are no words for Anton Lesser as Superintendent Bright.

    The supporting members are amazing! Jack Laskey as DS Peter Jakes has just the right sneer of superiority (when he really isn’t) such as when he tried to date Joan Thursday. Sean Rigby as PC Jim Strange strikes just the right cord. Caroline O’Neill is perfect as (long-suffering) Win Thursday. She runs that precious home like a precision gear box. I love her sandwiches and that she knew the right kind of “booze” to build Endeavour’s blood, when he was shot and exhausted. James Bradshaw is also believable as Dr. Max DeBryn in his thankless job as Pathologist.

    However, we have a couple of PROBLEMS THAT NEED TO BE SOLVED before the series is scuppered by their impossible performances. First of all, the notion of having a “actual” relative of Morse (John Thaw) is “novel” but when it doesn’t work, someone must be tough enough to “cut the cord” before it goes any further. The “character” of Dorothea Frazil, as the newspaper editor of the Oxford paper just does not work. She is awkward, forced, and does not fit. Second, Abigail Thaw is so awkward that she is simply wrong for this series. She is tall, angular, sharp, hard, brittle, just the wrong person. Also, the cops would not have had a “relationship” with a newspaper editor at that time. It would never have happened.

    The only possible way the story and character might work, and this is only if they really want to add a female character, would be for a different kind of woman as a reporter; younger, shorter, and cuter. The kind of person who might have a bit of “sass” to play the scenes with more “life” and “verve.” It would require a complete change of BOTH character and actress. As it is now, the scenes with Abigail are forced and everyone knows it. She needs to “move on” and put everyone out of their misery.

    Lastly, the character of Monica Hicks played by Shvone Marks is awful. Like the character of Dorothea, she is just not believable. A serious DC like Morse would NOT have had an “affair” with her character. It simply would not have happened. And certainly not at the place where they rented rooms. How do I know? Because I worked with nurses, cops (and detectives) at that time and this would never have happened.

    Another KEY point is that ALL nurses (especially one like Monica Hicks, who seems to be alone) would NEVER have rented a room on her own. She would have lived in a building with OTHER NURSES!! They would have covered shifts for each other, given each other rides to work, and generally been a support system for each other. In those days, ANY woman who would have rented a room, down the hall from single men, would have been marked as “cheap” and “loose” and the character of Monica Hicks would NEVER have done such a thing.

    It is so WRONG that I can’t get over it. She would have 100% lived with other nurses! And, not only is the character of Hicks not believable, but Shvone Marks is wrong for the part. She has a young face (baby fat) with features that are “at odds” with Morse. She does not look like a nurse. She does not look right in her uniform. Her actions (such as with the astringent) are awkward; not like a nurse at all. She is simply wrong for the part. And, she was way too quick to jump into bed and spend the night. It really is a shame that you don’t have people who know how people acted at that time.

    It is UNFAIR to the viewing public when you go to such effort to get the period cars, clothing, hair styles, equipment, dishes, food, and music accurate to then “blow it” by putting impossible characters (and actors) into the show. IT IS UNFAIR to the other actors to make these kinds of mistakes. When you are on the wrong track, it is imperative to make the correct changes and get rid of Shvone Marks, Abigail Thaw, and their characters.

ABC Cancels ‘Manhattan Love Story’

Category : News, US News

ABC has cancelled freshman comedy Manhattan Love Story.

The Analeigh Tipton and Jake McDorman fronted comedy, which had been airing in the 8:3opm time-slot on Tuesday nights, has been pulled from the network’s schedule, effective immediately. It will be replaced by back-to-back episodes of fellow freshman comedy Selfie as of November 4th.

With ABC’s decision to pull the plug, Manhattan Love Story becomes the first casualty of the fall season – though a number of midseason shows such as Hieroglyph and Mission Control have been pre-emptively cancelled. The show has aired 4 episodes of its 13 episode order.

The series, alongside, Selfie was put in the uneviable position of self-starting on Tuesday nights. Manhattan Love Story debuted to 4.7 million viewers and a 1.5 A18-49 demo, with the most recent episode sinking to about half that. Sealing its fate was the fact that Manhattan Love Story was getting a negligible bump in viewership in L7.

Despite the cancellation, ABC has had an unusually strong start to the season. Comedy Black-ish, which recently had its order expanded to 24 episodes, has solved a problem the network has had for years – finding a compatible lead out for Modern Family. While How To Get Away With Murder has becomes a break out hit, frequently matching the ratings for number one drama and lead in Scandal.

Is secrecy and corruption UB's new normal?

12/07/17 4:59am | By Editorial Board

For our final paper of 2017, we at The Spectrum want to reflect on our stories –– the stories we kept thinking about weeks after they left the shelf.

As student journalists, we look for trends. We try to understand the way the university works.

And we cannot ignore the recent trend of obfuscation and unanswered questions.

Awareness of our digital footprint

03/06/16 8:08pm | By Editorial Board

The days of posting every thought or whim on Facebook have passed and now the primary social media tools seem to be Snapchat and Instagram, both of which are image-based. There is still room for error here, but Snapchats disappear - in theory - and the only writing involved on Instagram is captions, comments and direct messaging. It's easier to control what we post, especially on Snapchat where we can choose who sees our pictures down to the person.

Studying at UB but pledging at Buffalo State was worth it

03/06/16 7:29pm | By Tomas Olivier

Most students at UB don’t want to pledge. And who could blame them? With all the negative media coverage that various organizations have been getting due to hazing allegations and misconduct, some people might truly believe that Greek Life as we know it is plummeting to its ugly and inevitable death.

But for a small group of individuals like me, who while attending classes at UB completed most or all of their process at SUNY Buffalo State or vice versa – the value we attribute to our organization is drastically greater than your average on-campus pledge.

Arizona campus preacher walks line between freedom of speech and hate speech

Dean Saxton, or “Brother Dean” as he is known on campus, is a resident campus preacher at the University of Arizona, who for years has protested holding signs and voicing among other things that women deserve rape and are to blame for rape because of the way they dress. His antics resurfaced in the news cycle again last week after a student began a petition asking the university to no longer allow Saxton to protest on campus.

Trump is not leading as much as he used to be – he beat Rubio out by 10 points, with Cruz only behind Rubio by 0.2 percent. The businessman thinks he will face Clinton in the elections and continues to degrade both Cruz and Rubio as eligible candidates.

Letter to the editor: UB Student Association e-board asks for separate athletics and recreation fees

02/21/16 7:34pm

Whether it’s a lack of space, intramurals fees, or poor equipment in UB gyms, chances are you have been frustrated by the circumstances surrounding recreation on your campus. Considering each UB undergraduates pays $267.35 each semester towards an Athletics and Recreation fee, of which only 8% is used for recreation (Division I Athletics receives the remaining 92%) we believe students should be provided better recreation services. For the last several months, the Student Association Executive Board has been tirelessly advocating to improve recreation services on our campus. After many meetings with university leadership and the Athletics Department, it is the opinion of the SA Executive Board that recreation fee should be separated and administered by Student Affairs with the goal of establishing a standalone recreation facility within 3 years. We invite you to read our letter to President Tripathi outlining our proposal. If you wish to share your opinions about recreation on our campus or to join our advocacy efforts, please email us at

Sunday is my first single Valentine's Day since eighth grade - and that's OK

02/14/16 1:51pm | By TORI ROSEMAN

Every year since eighth grade, I’ve had a boyfriend, or something like it, to spend Valentine’s Day with.

I initially didn’t believe this myself, but upon further reflection I realized this year is my first real single Valentine’s Day. This year I’m not even trying to mingle and am spending Valentine’s Day in a completely different way. Besides finishing up homework for the upcoming week, I’m having a superhero movie marathon with my roommate and we’re making dinner together.

The burden without Bearden

02/12/16 12:24am | By QUENTIN HAYNES

On Tuesday, the Buffalo men’s basketball team had its first extended moments without its best player.

The Bulls (14-10, 7-4 Mid-American Conference) dropped a heartbreaker to Toledo 71-69, but the game was merely a backdrop for the larger story: sophomore guard Lamonte Bearden’s absence due to “conduct detrimental to the team.” After the game, head coach Nate Oats said that Bearden was “out indefinitely.”

We’ve already seen the Bulls without Bearden.

Money talk: How we lost the understanding of money

02/11/16 11:14pm | By KENNETH KASHIF THOMAS

The concept of money has grown more complex as large amounts of it became quantified electronically, even more so than physical quantities. The problem is complicated further when stocks and other financial assets are added to the equation. The form in which money has now taken no longer meets some of the most basic requisites to be a “good” medium of exchange.

The life and death of ‘Johnny Football’

02/09/16 6:36pm | By MICHAEL AKELSON

Police are investigating an incident in which Manziel allegedly assaulted his girlfriend, Colleen Crowley, and threatened to kill her and himself. Manziel’s father also told the Dallas Morning News that he believes if his son doesn’t get help soon he won’t live to see his 24th birthday.

This is just the latest, and potentially final, development in a story that hasn’t changed at all in four full years, although it continues to darken due to it’s inexplicable monotonousness. It is the story of “Johnny Football,” a character who conned America into thinking he was a better player, and person, than he actually is.

St. Michael, St. Gabriel, & St. Raphael – The Archangels

Angels—messengers from God—appear frequently in Scripture, but only Michael, Gabriel and Raphael are named. The memorials of Gabriel (March 24) and Raphael (October 24) were added to the Roman calendar in 1921. The 1970 revision of the calendar joined their feasts to Michael’s.

Michael (meaning: Who Is Like To God?)
The name Michael signifies “Who is like to God?” and was the war cry of the God’s angels in the battle fought in heaven against satan and his followers. Holy Scripture describes Michael as one of the chief princes, and leader of the forces of heaven in their triumph over the powers of hell. He has been especially honoured and invoked as patron and protector by the Church from the time of the earliest Christians. Although he is called “the Archangel,” the Greek Fathers and many others place him over all the angels – as Prince of the Seraphim. Michael is the patron of grocers, mariners, paratroopers, police and sickness.

Michael’s name is recorded four times in Scripture:

  • Daniel 10:13. Gabriel says to Daniel, when he asks God to permit the Jews to return to Jerusalem: “The Angel of the kingdom of the Persians resisted me . . . and, behold Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me . . . and none is my helper in all these things, but Michael your prince”;
  • Daniel 12, the Angel speaking of the end of the world and the Antichrist says: At that time shall Michael rise up, the great prince, who standeth for the children of thy people.
  • The Epistle of St. Jude: When Michael the Archangel, disputing with the devil, contended about the body of Moses,   St Jude alludes to an ancient Jewish tradition of a dispute between Michael and Satan over the body of Moses, an account of which is also found in the apocryphal book on the assumption of Moses (Origen, “De principiis”). St. Michael concealed the tomb of Moses; Satan, however, by disclosing it, tried to seduce the Jewish people to the sin of hero-worship. Michael also guards the body of Eve, according to the “Revelation of Moses”.
  • Revelation 12:7, And there was a great battle in heaven, Michael and his angels fought with the dragon. St. John speaks of the great war at the end of time, which reflects also the battle in heaven at the beginning of time. According to the Fathers there is often question of St. Michael in Scripture where his name is not mentioned. They say he was the cherub who stood at the gate of paradise, “to keep the way of the tree of life” (Genesis iii, 24), the angel through whom God published the Decalogue to his chosen people, the angel who stood in the way against Balaam (Numbers 22:22), the angel who routed the army of Sennacherib (2 Kings 19:35).

Following these Scriptural passages, Christian tradition gives Michael four offices.

  • To fight against Satan
  • To rescue the souls of the faithful from the power of the enemy, especially at the hour of death.
  • To be the champion of God’s people, the Jews in the Old Law, the Christians in the New Testament; therefore he was the patron of the Church, and of the orders of knights during the Middle Ages
  • To call away from earth and bring men’s souls to judgment

Regarding his rank in the celestial hierarchy opinions vary; St. Basil and other Greek Fathers place Michael over all the angels, saying he is called archangel because he is the prince of the other angels. others believe he is the Prince of the Seraphim, the first of the nine angelic orders. But, according to Aquinas he is the prince of the last and lowest choir, the angels. The hymn of the Mozarabic Breviary places St. Michael even above the Twenty-four Elders.

Its natural to Michael the champion of the Jewish people, to be the champion also of Christians, giving victory in war to those who invoke him. The early Christians regarded some of the martyrs as their military patrons: Sts. George, Theodore, Demetrius, Sergius, etc.

In art Michael is represented as an angelic warrior, fully armed with helmet, sword, and shield (often the shield bears the Latin inscription: Quis ut Deus), standing over the dragon, whom he sometimes pierces with a lance. He also holds a pair of scales in which he weighs the souls of the departed, or the book of life to show that he takes part in the judgment. In the middle ages, his feast (29 September) was celebrated as a holy day of obligation, but along with several other feasts it was gradually abolished since the eighteenth century. Michaelmas Day, in England and other countries, is one of the regular quarter-days for settling rents and accounts; but it is no longer remarkable for the hospitality with which it was formerly celebrated.

Gabriel (meaning: The Power of God)
One of the three archangels mentioned in the Bible, only four appearances of Gabriel are recorded:

  • Daniel viii, he explains the vision of the horned ram as portending the destruction of the Persian Empire by the Macedonian Alexander the Great, after whose death the kingdom will be divided up among his generals, from one of whom will spring Antiochus Epiphanes.
  • In Chapter ix, after Daniel had prayed for Israel, we read that the man Gabriel . . . . flying swiftly touched me, and he communicated to him the mysterious prophecy of the “seventy weeks” of years which should elapse before the coming of Christ. In Chapter x, it is not clear whether the angel is Gabriel or not, but at any rate we may apply to him the marvellous description in verses 5 and 6.
  • He foretells to Zachary the birth of the Precursor (Luke 1 v8ff)
  • At the Annunciation – to Mary (Luke 1:26)

He is the angel of the Incarnation and of Consolation, and so in Christian tradition Gabriel is ever the angel of mercy. At the same time Gabriel is, as his name suggests, the angel of the Power or strength of God, and it is worth while noting the frequency with which such words as “great”, “might”, “power”, and “strength” occur in the passages referred to above. The Jews indeed seem to have dwelt particularly upon this feature in Gabriel’s character, regarding him as the angel of judgment. Thus they attribute to Gabriel the destruction of Sodom and of the host of Sennacherib, though they also regard him as the angel who buried Moses, and as the one deputed to mark the figure Tau on the foreheads of the elect (Ezech., 4). In later Jewish literature the names of angels were considered to have a peculiar efficacy, and the British Museum possesses some bowls inscribed with Hebrew, Aramaic, and Syriac incantations in which the names of Michael, Raphael, and Gabriel occur. These bowls were found at Hillah, the site of Babylon. In apocryphal Christian literature the same names occur, cf. Enoch, ix, and the Apocalypse of the Blessed Virgin.

Gabriel is mentioned only twice in the New Testament, but it is not unreasonable to suppose with Christian tradition that it is he who appeared to Joseph and to the shepherds, and also that it was Gabriel who strengthened Jesus in the garden.

Gabriel is generally termed only an archangel, but the expression used by Raphael, I am the angel Raphael, one of the seven, who stand before the Lord (Tobit xii, 15), and Gabriel’s own words, I am Gabriel, who stand before God (Luke 1, 19), have led some to think that these angels must belong to the highest rank. This is generally thought to mean their rank as the highest of God’s messengers, and not as placing them among the Seraphim and Cherubim.

Raphael (meaning: God has healed)
Raphael’s name doesn’t appear in the Hebrew Scriptures, and in the Septuagint only in the Book of Tobias. Here he first appears disguised in human form as the travelling companion of the younger Tobias, calling himself Azarias the son of the great Ananias. The story of the adventurous journey during which the protective influence of the angel is shown in many ways including the binding “in the desert of upper Egypt”, of the demon who had previously slain seven husbands of Sara, daughter of Raguel, is graphically related in Tobit 5-11. After the return and the healing of the blindness of the elder Tobias, Azarias makes himself known as the angel Raphael, one of the seven, who stand before the Lord (Tobit xii, 15. Cf. Apoc., viii, 2). Of these seven archangels who appear in the angelology of post-Exilic Judaism, only three, Gabriel, Michael and Raphael, are mentioned in the canonical Scriptures. The others, according to the Book of Enoch (cf. xxi) are Uriel, Raguel, Sariel, and Jerahmeel, while from other apocryphal sources we get the variant names Izidkiel, Hanael, and Kepharel instead of the last three in the other list.

Regarding the functions attributed to Raphael we have little more than his declaration to Tobias (Tobit 12) that when the latter was occupied in his works of mercy and charity, Raphael offered his prayer to the Lord, that he was sent by the Lord to heal him of his blindness and to deliver Sara, his son’s wife, from the devil.

The Jewish category of the archangels is recognized in the New Testament (I Thess., iv, 16; Jude, 9), but only Gabriel and Michael are mentioned by name. Many scholars however, identify Raphael with the “angel of the Lord” mentioned in John 5. This assumption is based both on the significance of the name, and on the healing role attributed to Raphael in the Book of Tobias.

It is widely thought that Raphael is the angel in John 5:1-4, at the pool called Bethzatha, where the multitude of the infirm lay awaiting the moving of the water. The blind, the lame and the paralyzed were waiting for an angel of the Lord who, descended at certain times into the pond; and the water was moved. And he that went down first into the pond after the motion of the water was made whole of whatsoever infirmity he lay under.

  1. It’s perfect time to make a few plans for the long run and it’s time to be happy. I’ve learn this publish and if I may I desire to suggest you some interesting issues or suggestions. Maybe you can write next articles regarding this article. I want to read more issues about it!

Berry Benson’s Civil War Book
Memoirs of a Confederate Scout and Sharpshooter

Edited by Susan Williams Benson
New Introduction by Edward J. Cashin

"An outstanding memoir."-Civil War History

"This book showers well-deserved attention on one of the South's truly noble sons. Benson, who served his homeland from Charleston to Appomattox, won even greater glory late in life when he championed the innocence of Jewish factory boss Leo M. Frank, convicted of murder in 1913 in Atlanta and subsequently lynched. Benson was a terrific character and this volume does him justice."
—Steve Oney, author of And the Dead Shall Rise

"Well-told and very captivating."
Civil War Courier

"[Benson] knew how to tell an exciting story. . . . Unusually descriptive; his book contains a host of little details."
Richmond Times-Dispatch

"An outstanding memoir . . . Berry Benson's work is both truly personal, with its focus on such experiences as his capture, his life in Federal prisons, and his ultimate escape, and a fine narrative, for he tells story after remarkable story in a lively yet unromantic style. . . . Those who have not yet made his acquaintance will find him an intriguing figure and his book an engaging one."
Civil War History

"Long recognized as one of the outstanding memoirs by a common soldier in the Army of Northern Virginia."
Civil War News

"Well worth reading for any history buff."
Augusta Magazine

"His highly illuminating story serves as a building block to the larger issues, such as the maturation of innocent youth into seasoned veteran in the span of a few short years."
Florida Historical Quarterly

"Benson's straightforward narrative is clear, concise, and, given his amazing exploits, remarkably free of boasting. . . . Benson's experiences as a prisoner of war elevate his memoirs above other first-hand accounts of the Civil War."
Southern Historian

“Benson's writing style is superb. Reading his memoirs is like listening to a very articulate old soldier tell war stories.”
North Carolina Historical Review

"A powerful pick for any library strong in Civil War memoirs and first-hand accounts."
The Bookwatch

Confederate scout and sharpshooter Berry Greenwood Benson witnessed the first shot fired on Fort Sumter, retreated with Lee's Army to its surrender at Appomattox Courthouse, and missed little of the action in between. This classic account of his wartime service tells of his reconnaissance exploits, battlefield experiences, capture by Union forces, and famous escape from Elmira Prison. A new biographical introduction by historian Edward J. Cashin adds further depth and detail to Benson's own vivid memories. The introduction also offers a fascinating account of both Benson's early years and his postwar activities, including his strong advocacy for impoverished mill strikers and the wrongly accused Leo Frank.

Mixed Blood Indians
Racial Construction in the Early South

Theda Perdue

An enlightening look at issues of race, "blood," and kinship in the American South from a Native perspective

"In these trenchant essays, Perdue explores the nexus of race, gender, culture, and power and shatters the legitimacy of historical representation based on 'blood' in regard to southeastern Indians studies. In its place, she crafts an insightful narrative that restores Native cultural values and views to a central place in the story. Her well-written and elegantly argued work will enlighten scholars and general readers alike."
—Kathryn Braund, author of Deerskins and Duffels: Creek Indian Trade with Anglo-America, 1685-1815

"In these three pointed essays, Perdue contends that scholars of the Native American South have yet to cast off the racist legacy of the antebellum era. Her uncompromising argument engages a debate that is certain to become central to the next generation of scholarship."
—Claudio Saunt, author of A New Order of Things: Property, Power, and the Transformation of the Creek Indians, 1733-1816

More / Hide

On the southern frontier in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, European men--including traders, soldiers, and government agents--sometimes married Native women. Children of these unions were known by whites as "half-breeds." The Indian societies into which they were born, however, had no corresponding concepts of race or "blood." Moreover, counter to European customs and laws, Native lineage was traced through the mother only. No familial status or rights stemmed from the father.

"Mixed Blood" Indians looks at a fascinating array of such birth- and kin-related issues as they were alternately misunderstood and astutely exploited by both Native and European cultures. Theda Perdue discusses the assimilation of non-Indians into Native societies, their descendants' participation in tribal life, and the white cultural assumptions conveyed in the designation "mixed blood." In addition to unions between European men and Native women, Perdue also considers the special cases arising from the presence of white women and African men and women in Indian society.

From the colonial through the early national era, "mixed bloods" were often in the middle of struggles between white expansionism and Native cultural survival. That these "half-breeds" often resisted appeals to their "civilized" blood helped foster an enduring image of Natives as fickle allies of white politicians, missionaries, and entrepreneurs. "Mixed Blood" Indians rereads a number of early writings to show us the Native outlook on these misperceptions and to make clear that race is too simple a measure of their--or any peoples'--motives.

Spring Energized PTFE-Seals

Information for Installation

The installation in split grooves is the easiest way. Seals can usually be installed in partially closed grooves (with retainer) without any problems. Depending on diameters and cross sections, the type 103 seals can be installed in closed (nonsplit design) grooves. In such cases, we recommend contacting our Technical Service.

We will help you to work out the best solution for your assembly problem.

The mating surfaces should be smooth, free of burrs and sharp edges. Lead-in chamfers should be available for shafts and cylinders. When assembling over grooves and threads, a sleeve should be used to protect the seal. Light oiling or greasing makes the assembly easier.

All recommendations and data provided in this catalogue are based on the experience gained over decades of using such seals.
Unknown factors and special conditions may restrict the generally valid promises.
We are not able to guarantee every individual application.
We suggest tests with samples.
Our application engineers are always at your disposal for design and consultation.
Don`t hesitate to use our experience.

Please call or write to us.

After plenty of rumors and word going around that Marvel was setting their sights on their choice on director for the upcoming “Black Panther” film, the House of Ideas has gone and made it official – Ryan Coogler, the director of the hit Rocky spinoff film “Creed” has been tapped to helm the solo film featuring the king of Wakanda and one of the most prominent members of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, The Avengers!

<> at Chivas House on May 18, 2013 in Cannes, France.

Before he hit mainstream Hollywood attention, Coogler worked as a counselor for incarcerated youth in San Francisco prior to shifting his focus to filmmaking. He started directing short films such as Locks, The Sculptor, and Gap, which have netted him awards and nominations. His first feature length film, Fruitvale Station, was released in 2013 and won the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award for U.S. dramatic film at the Sundance Film Festival. The film also paired him with actor Michael B. Jordan, who would reunite with Coogler for the Rocky spinoff film “Creed”, which tells the story of Apollo Creed’s son Adonis (played by Jordan) who trains under his father’s rival/ friend Rocky Balboa to carve a legacy for himself in the boxing world. The film received much buzz, including netting Sylvester Stallone a Golden Globe for “Best Supporting Actor” in reprising his signature role as Rocky Balboa.

In hiring Ryan Coogler as director for “Black Panther”, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige had only good words to say about getting the director in “We are fortunate to have such an esteemed filmmaker  join the Marvel family,” said Feige. “The talents showcased in his first two films easily made him our top choice to direct ‘Black Panther.’ Many fans have waited a long time to see Black Panther in his own film, and with Ryan we know  we’ve found the perfect director to bring T’Challa’s story to life.

Set to make his first appearance in this year’s “Captain America: Civil War“, Black Panther/ T’Challa will be played by Chadwick Boseman. That movie will be released on May 6, 2016, while the solo Black Panther film arrives on February 16, 2018.

New Ground

by G-Rob

I was deeply scarred by that first blogger intervention last year. The memories are hazy, like a late summer here in the "G". Worse still there's a small tatto, shaped like the finger of a dwarf on the front of my brain. Otis and I have a love-hate sorta thing when it comes to booze, we love forcing more damage on each other's liver, and we hate each other in the morning...sort of like bran cereal in sour milk.

But the worst part of the Vegas bender was the vague suspicion that I'd had a great time. Most of my old Phish shows were just like that, a blank slate with a pleasant aftertaste. I remember chatting up the hookers at the SHERWOOD FOREST, and God knows I'll never forget their answer to, "What's the wierdest thing a John ever asked you to do?" But I have no idea what I injested that night. I always hated the idea that I was a central charater in a drama that I still couldn't recall.

Fear and Self-Loathing

So tonight I'm taking a different tack. 14 players will invade stately G-manor tonight. We're running 2 table of 7 each. As usual I'll be drinking heavily, but this time, I'm taking notes.

BUT G! Isn't that just what a good blogger does?

I say yes. Which is why Otis and CJ do it. I never have before so this is new ground. BadBlood will also be there and if we're at different tables, I'll ask him to take notes from that action.

Good question. Next!

Even better question. I should interview myself sometime. That would be really great TV.

Two things :

1) I've been trying to use the 2 or 3 weekly games here to devise a few strategy ideas that I hope will be helpful. They'll be helpful to me but, one less shot of moonshine would be helpful, and I ain't taking THAT advice.

2) I think these games have some truly facinating people and, because I enjoy the writing as much as I enjoy the actual poker content on this here blog, I hope they'll make a pretty interesting post.

Actually, NOT a good question.

Yupperooo! If you have my e-mail send me a cell phone number. If you have my cell phone, give it a buzz. We're gonna do dial-a-shot about 25 times tonight and I think the stupid buzz will make this thing fun. Get your drink on people.

Final proof that THIS homegame is the best in America.

See you soon.
