The [Thursday] Papers

This is shaping up to be a very tough month for me in terms of time, energy and money for a variety of reasons so there's a lot I haven't gotten to and probably won't get to until January, including the mayoral campaign. And, of course, I have a lot to say about our president. All in due time. For now, though, isn't this kind of perfect?

And so far all health care reform and credit card reform have done is hurt us working folk. This guy is killing me.

I do take issue with CBS's claim that "economists largely agree [the tax deal] would help stimulate the economy."

Tax cuts are the least effective economic stimulant; spending is the most effective - particularly if that spending is on jobs and not, say, earmarks to the connected. But as Bob Somerby wrote the other day, we're all George W. Bush now. How different is the Obama administration from a third Bush term?

And as usual, Democrats have no one but themselves to blame.

This is who they are. They don't change.

After all, Joe Berrios is a Democrat. In fact, he's the head of the Cook County Democratic Party.

Michael Madigan is a Democrat. In fact, he's the head of the Illinois Democratic Party.

And Barack Obama is a Democrat. In fact, he's the president of the United States.

How they doin'?

Chiclets and Stripper Poles
At the Thompson Center.

Hey Moron!
Get your crap off our street.

The full post is here.

Rahm Emanuel's Rose Garden Strategy
Well, after all, he's a Democrat.

Do I like Republicans? No. But I'm not sure anyone has any illusions about them.

Alternate Reality
Another way to approach this piece would be to call it "Chicago's Top 10 Places To Avoid At All Costs."

But that's just us.

Todd Stroger

Pat Quinn

Richard M. Daley

Human Cost
"Illinois' children, seniors, people with disabilities, and those who are homeless are suffering as Illinois' human service organizations cut essential programs, reduce hours and curtail levels of service in the face of Illinois' budget crisis," Illinois Partners for Human Service says.

Meanwhile, it's bonus time on Wall Street.

The Cubs not only just gave a .196 hitter $10 million, but Obama cut his taxes too!

Toilet Justice
"A 49-year-old Chicago man suspected of stealing a large roll of toilet paper from the restroom of a federal agency in Orland Park remains in the Cook County Jail morning in lieu of $50,000 bail," TribLocal Orland Park reports.

"Timothy Geithner says he regrets tax mistakes." Confirmed as Treasury Secretary. In a Democratic administration.

A Crown Affair
"Members of the Crown family of Chicago have purchased the 42-acre Moore parcel for $13 million," the Aspen Daily News reports.

"The property, located off Maroon Creek Road between the Aspen Recreation Center and the Moore Open Space, is one of the last remaining large parcels in the Aspen area with development potential."

Big Scary Win AMP; Fourth Time For A Melbourne Act

Big Scary’s Not Art won the 9th Australian Music Prize earlier today in Sydney, and got a cheque for $30,000 from the PPCA.

It was the fourth time that a Melbourne act won the prestigious AMP, after Augie March’s Moo, You Bloody Choir (2006), Eddy Current Suppression Ring’s Primary Colours (2008) and Lisa Mitchell’s Wonder (2009).
Big Scary’s Tom Iansek and Joanna Syme formed in Melbourne in 2006, and Not Art is their second album.  At the AMP winner announcement luncheon at the Basement club, UK producer Steve Lillywhite remarked how he liked the “sonic quality” of Not Art, in the way they mixed pop and hip hop sensibilities.
Drummer, singer and multi-instrumentalist Syme said, "We're huge fans of the AMP – any award that has bands like The Mess Hall and Eddy Current Suppression Ring in its short history of winners has gotta be doing something right. That's why it's a huge honour to be awarded this year's prize.
“We'd like to acknowledge and praise all the other artists – Short-listed and Long-listed and beyond,  There's been a bunch of Australian albums made in the last year that we're in awe of.”
Dan Rosen, CEO of the PPCA commented, “Support for local artists has been the cornerstone of PPCA for over 40 years, therefore we are honoured to have been the major prize sponsor of the Australian Music Prize since day one. We hope PPCA’s $30,000 contribution will assist in developing Big Scary’s career and help take their music to the world.”
Big Scary’s win comes as they set off in April to tour North America to promote Not Art’s release there through Seattle’s Barsuk Records, whom they signed with last year.
The 2013 AMP shortlist was:
She Beats – Beaches
Not Art – Big Scary
Dream Cave – Cloud Control
The Cold Light Of Day – Dialectrix
King Amongst Many – Horrorshow
Howlin’ – Jagwar Ma
In Blood Memory – Jen Cloher
Phoenix – Jimblah
Embracism – Kirin J Callinan

How to get rid of your pores

Are you enjoying your Sunday? Today I am going to give you some tips to get rid of your pores. Read on please…

Novexpert flash expert:

This is such a handy face foam to get rid of your pores. Use it two times a day in the morning and the evening. If you want a deep cleansing then use it 20 seconds on your face. If you want a normal cleansing then use it 10 seconds on your face. I always us it 20 seconds on my face. After a few weeks you will see that your skin is glowing and the pores will be almost gone.

Yves Rocher cleansing gel:

This gel cleanses your skin deeply. No make-up will be left on your face. If you don’t use make-up you still have to use this gel to remove your cleanser.  After 2/3 weeks you will definitely see that your skin will look more healthy and cleaner.

Water water water:

Drink 2 liters water a day. I don’t need more to say.

Have a nice day people.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from LOVE this dress I got this dress in orange (coral rose). Normally, my husband only likes tight dresses on me, but he (and I) loved this. The sheer back and cut-out, and the front zipper, add a lot of sexiness. The skirt draws attention to your legs and makes them look great, and the color is fabulous on tan skin, without being too bold. The only downsize is it's a little loose in the waist/torso area. Not sure if I can get it tailored because of all the detailing in that area, but it's still flattering enough that I'll wear it either way. I'm typically between an XS and S. I ordered the XS, and it's not at all tight.

Studded Strapless Mesh Dress is rated 4.8 out of 5 by 20.
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Pretty and Gorgeous The dress looked amazing when I tried it on in the fitting room, however I would have preferred a darker blue because when you are in a well-lit environment, the blue looks a bit too bright. I think it would look stunning at clubs and bars, where the environment is darker. I'm only giving it four stars because it fit me everywhere else except the chest, which was a bit too tight.
Date published: 2013-12-22
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Gorgeous dress I love this dress, and agree with everything that's been said in other reviews. As far as sizes, I'm 5'2 and 100-103lbs, B/small C cup. The XXS is perfect. It's my normal size. I don't think this dress runs small.
Date published: 2013-07-29
Rated 5 out of 5 by from When I wear this dress, my husband forgets that I am his wifey. I saw this dress on the website and it was a love at first site. I checked the website everyday untill they stocked size small. To me this dress is the symbol of BEBE style. Material is so soft and still it makes me love my wide hips. I am 34B in cup size ( Victoria's Secret), and size small is the perfect fit for my bust. I am not going to say much about the back of the dress because I do not want to sound like a pervert. But I adore this one everytime I open my closet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing Dress! I fell in love with this dress since i saw it! And i love it more when i tried i was planning to get white dress but i dont care anymore this is the one that all the girls should have!
Date published: 2013-07-06
Rated 4 out of 5 by from This dress is beautiful. This dress is very pretty. It sexy yet classy enough for a wed. The only problem was the small was a tad bit to big for me in the bust area and i am about a c/d. But it was kind of expensive too. I typically dont like to spend more than a 100 for a dress to wear one time to a wed.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Purchased for Girlfriend I bought this dress as a gift for my girlfriend days before breaking up. :( I wont know how it fits, but it sure looked really nice. Shes really tiny, so I bought the xsmall. shes about 5.1 and 105 pounds. I know she'll be turning heads and looking hot in it, >.< but I can still wish her the best. Enjoy ;)
Date published: 2013-06-14
Rated 5 out of 5 by from This fress is gorgeous!! I love this dress!!! It is so much more beautiful in person. I was really nervous on what size to order. For me, I went to the store and tried on the x-small. The boob area was a little big. Typically, I wear a 34b/32c in the bras. I'm about 5'7", and 110. It wasn't until the sales chick told me she still had an xx-small in the store. I tried it on, and the boob area fit me perfect. So without any hesitation, I got the xx-small :) <3 LOVE!!!!!
Date published: 2013-06-11
Rated 5 out of 5 by from nice evening cocktail dress This dress gives the fancy and a luxurious look. Like the other reviewers, this dress makes me look classy, very appealing sexy yet not cheap at the same time. Im usually xxs so I bought xxs but unfortunately this dress runs very small that I replaced with an xs. I am 5 ft 1 inches and 88-90lbs. And xs fits perfect! Ladies try getting one size up from your usual size. The picture and the model does not do justice for this dress... maybe the color of the dress just doesn't seem to be well captured through cameras. However it looks stunning in person! I can't wait to wear this and be the center of attention on my birthday!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing Dress! I have a spring engagement party to attend next week and I went scouring the online web for the perfect dress! 4 months ago I had my Baby Boy and have fortunately lost all of my baby weight already EXCEPT my once abtacular tummy has now a bit of a bump so I was certain I wanted to try out the peplum style just to conceal this. I had about 4 dresses I saw on the website and stumbled upon this dress. I wasn't too keen on it so it didnt make it onto my list to try on. Well, I ended up at the Bebe store yesterday and this dress was hanging in the racks in my size so I decided what the heck, no harm in trying it! I put it on and the small fit me perfectly and the cut and style was everything I wanted! The peplum conceals my little bump too, which was exactly what I wanted. I had about 7 other dresses in the room with me and not one of them could beat this dress and so, I GOT IT! This dress is perfect for parties and even suitable for work (pair it with a short cardigan). I am 5'3 and 120 pounds. The XS would have fit me as well but due to breast feeding (bigger breasts), I stuck to my original size. I have a toned body and long legs.
Date published: 2013-05-09
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Luv it! I absolutely adore this dress. Its very flattering especially to those less curvy. The peplum gives the illusion of an hour glass figure. It's fits true to size within the chart.
Date published: 2013-04-23
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice fit' I'm very skeptical about buying online, but surprise! The dress was just as beautiful as I thought and it fits perfectly. I'm usually a XS but I decided to follow the online measurements for the dress and bought a Small one, it looks great. The material is nice and it feels very comfortable yet flattering.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect Summer maxi dress Absolutely in love with the way this dress fits. I am super curvy, 120lbs 5'3, but this definitely slims you down. The material is perfect, not too thick for the heat but just enough not to be transparent. Can't wait for bright solid colors in this style!
Date published: 2013-06-06
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Runs small This dress runs a bit small, I tried my usual size S (34.27.42) and the fit was too snug, especially around the waist (where the top and bottom connects there's elastic that makes it a little uncomfortable). Then I tried the M and the fit was perfect except the back was a bit long (I'm 5'4" so wedges it is!). It's a cute and flirty dress for the summer though, love the color!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Light, airy and fun This is a lovely dress. It has a weird hole in the side and I'm not sure what it's for, but other than that, I love it! I plan to wear it to a friend's wedding in Thailand. You can dress it up with nice heels or keep it casual.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautiful I ordered this for my Hawaiian theme Retirement Party. I took a chance ordering this as it was final clearance and can not be returned. I ordered a small since I am only a 34 B 120 lbs. Wrong choice. Through the rib cage impossible to zip up. I am out $130. I loved it so bad I ordered the medium and it was a one day reduction and got it for $99.99. Got it yesterday and fits perfectly. It is beautiful and can't wait to wear to my retirement party and later on my cruise. Si I have a small I guess to go to a consignment store. Maybe I ca get something for it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from The color of the fabric is great. The dress is beautiful but the waist band/bustline was too large. I always buy xs from your company and frequently they are too large around my waist but I am afraid to buy xxs and sometimes you only offer items in p/s. I took the dress to my seamstress and she feels she could take the dress in a little bit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it!! This dress is gorgeous, I can't wait to wear it. My only complaint is the slit that is left open for the zipper, but I can live with it. This will be one of my summer favorites!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Cute dress, not the right fit for my body. I love this dress, but I ordered it online and tried it on to find out it was not for me. I am 5ft 1, 120 lbs, and I ordered an xsmall. The size fit fine in the waist area, but it still slightly dragged on the ground in the back with very tall heels. Also, the top fit awkwardly and seemed too big. I have a very small chest, so I think it would have looked very nice on someone who was more well endowed! I was bummed to return it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautiful Beautiful summery dress... Perfect for a pool party, vacation....etc True to size I always been a medium size and thats what I have order and its PERFECT...but I have a big chest. 34DD or 42-28-41 I have seen some comments about the dress being to big so it probably depends if you have a large chest or not.

Penelope Cruz 'to play Donatella Versace in American Crime Story'

The Spanish actress will apparently star in the third series of American Crime Story.

Penelope Cruz has been cast as Donatella Versace in a television series examining the 1997 assassination of designer Gianni Versace, according to reports.

The Oscar-winning Spanish actress, 42, will play the designer’s sister in the third instalment of the award-winning anthology series American Crime Story, said reports in the US.

Edgar Ramirez has already been cast as Gianni in the 10-episode series, while Darren Criss will play serial killer Andrew Cunanan, who shot the designer on the steps of his mansion in Miami.

Entitled Versace: American Crime Story, the new series is expected to go into production in April.

It will not air until after series two, which will focus on Hurricane Katrina and is slated to debut in 2018.

The first series, The People V OJ Simpson, aired last year and picked up accolades at the Golden Globes and the Emmys.

Gianni, 50, was shot dead on July 15 1997 at his home in Miami Beach, after returning from a walk.

Cunanan committed suicide eight days later.

On My Desk Today: Foxes and Woolly Worms

Over the last several weeks I’ve been working on a set of illustrations for a book by Betty Hicks called The Worm Whisperer. It’s a sweet story and it’s given me the opportunity to work in pen and ink with a bit of ink wash, which I enjoy. Plus, the story features a fair amount of wildlife, which makes it particularly enjoyable to draw. Here’s a tiny peek:

SharePoint, SQL server fill factor and index rebuilds – a correction

Today we are going to be taking a look at the fill-factor option that is available within SQL Server 2005 and later, in the context of Microsoft SharePoint.

Aside from providing reasons for caring about fill-factor, I point out a mistake in the SQL maintenance guidance for both SharePoint 2007 and 2010 that relates to index rebuilds that I have made Microsoft aware of.

DisclaimerI’m relatively new to SQL server configuration and would class myself as an “accidental DBA”. I like to think that this blog post is well researched – and the recommendations contained within worked in my specific environment – but be warned that I am certainly no expert. If you plan on making changes in response to this post I suggest you seek professional guidance and TEST everything!

What is fill factor anyway?

According to MSDN, the fill factor option “determines the percentage of space on each leaf-level page to be filled with data, reserving the remainder on each page as free space for future growth”. The idea is that an appropriate fill factor should reduce page splits whilst maintaining performance and using space efficiently.

In case you are wondering, a “page” in this context isn’t something that sits in a Pages library after activating the SharePoint publishing infrastructure. It is the basic storage building block in SQL Server and is exactly 8192 bytes in size.

The default fill factor option for SQL server 2005 and later is “0”, which really means “completely fill each leaf-level page so as not to waste space and potentially optimise read performance”. A fill factor setting of 0 or 100 both result in pages being 100% full.

I’m a SharePoint admin – why should I care about this?

  • According to Kimberly L. Tripp, fill factor is “the MOST IMPORTANT thing to understand about index maintenance and reducing fragmentation (especially in databases that are prone to it)”. I’m not going to doubt this given Kimberley’s credentials.
  • SharePoint uses GUIDs (unique identifiers) as primary keys for all tables which causes page splits and massive fragmentation (there is a good article on this here which highlights the fact that non-sequential GUID based identifiers are unnecessarily wide, resulting in wasted space). Thanks to Jonathan Kehayias for explaining this concisely.

Therefore, a non-default fill factor is – according to various clever SQL bods – appropriate for SharePoint in order to reduce fragmentation and improve performance.

How do I check my fill factor?

As mentioned in the two database maintenance documents that I link to below, you can check your fill factor by querying the sys.indexes catalog view. Here is a simple example (replace DatabaseName with the name of your DB):

use DatabaseName

select name,fill_factor from sys.indexes

order by fill_factor desc

And, for good measure here is a screenshot of the results:

Determine Fill Factor using sys.indexes

Determining fill factor using sys.indexes

Of course, you can also determine the default server-wide fill factor using the server properties dialog:

Determining Default Server-Wide Fill Factor
Determining default server-wide fill factor (this setting may not be appropriate for your specific environment)

OK, I know my fill factor. So what?

Now that you know your fill factor you probably want to determine your fragmentation level to work out if a change might help. The “Database Maintenance for Office SharePoint Server 2007 (white paper)” document link below includes instructions on how to do this. Below is an example.

1. Determining the database ID (replace DatabaseName with the name of your DB):

select DB_ID(N’DatabaseName’) as [Database ID]

2. Determining average fragmentation (replace DBID with the integer ID found in step 1):

select database_id, index_type_desc, alloc_unit_type_desc, avg_fragmentation_in_percent, page_count from sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats (
, 0
, 0
order by avg_fragmentation_in_percent desc

I’ll leave out discussion of the specific parameters above as it’s probably beyond the scope of this blog post, but Technet contains plenty of information on sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats.

The result of the above script is as follows. As you can see a number of indexes are heavily fragmented in this SharePoint 2007 content database:

Determining Index Fragmentation in a SharePoint Content DB

 Determining index fragmentation using sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats.

Can’t we just set the fill factor to something really small to prevent the issue?

Unfortunately this isn’t a realistic option because – based on the MSDN article above – fill factor is roughly proportional to read performance and a low value will result in a lot of wasted space. For example, if we were to set this value to 10% our read performance might suffer by up to 90%.

Notice that I say “really small” instead of 0 because 0 is the default setting which as we now know sets fill_factor to 100%J.

The Microsoft guidance

If you were to read through the following documentation, you might think that the guidance from Microsoft on an appropriate fill factor is quite clear:

Database maintenance for Office SharePoint Server 2007 (white paper)

Database maintenance for SharePoint Server 2010

The links recommend a fill factor of 70% and 80% for SharePoint 2007 and 2010 respectively.

However if, like a lot of “accidental” SharePoint DBAs you decide to follow the guidance to implement an appropriate maintenance plan, you will soon come across the following screenshots. The big, idiot proof dialogues are really there for me so that I don’t refer to this blog later on and copy the wrong settings into my environment:

Incorrect fill factor for SharePoint 2007

Free space per page percentage appears to be the inverse of the fill factor guidance for SharePoint 2007…

Incorrect fill factor setting for SharePoint 2010
And it’s the same issue for SharePoint 2010!

Just to be clear, the above screenshots show free space per page percentage values that are the exact opposite of the written guidance contained within their respective documents. E.g. in the case of the SharePoint 2010 recommendation, the screenshot suggests that you change free space per page to 80% – the written guidance states that pages should be 80%fullIn other words, the number in the screenshots above should – as far as I’m concerned – be 30% and 20%.

Being relatively new to the world of SQL server configuration I scratched my head for a few minutes trying to work out whether I had misunderstood the written guidance. I defined an index rebuild task according to the screenshot above in a SharePoint 2007 test environment, and used a Dynamic Management View (DMV) to validate the resultant fill factor setting. To be more specific, I queried the sys.indexes catalog view and – confirming my suspicions – the fill_factor column displayed a value of 30!

“Logical inversion failure”

I discussed my observation above with Neil Hodgkinson from Microsoft. Neil is a SharePoint 2007 and 2010 MCM and as well as knowing a shed load about SQL is a very helpful guy.

He describes the issue as “logical inversion failure” which is a lot more concise than my attempt to explain it. Rather than putting the recommended free space amount in the screenshots, Microsoft appear to have mistakenly put the inverse quantity: the recommended percentage that pages are filled.

Neil assured me that the Technet documentation will be updated in due course and I’d like to take the opportunity to say thanks for the prompt response.

He also made one observation that I hadn’t considered: setting a server-wide fill factor may not be appropriate as non-content databases and particularly non-SharePoint databases (in the case of a shared instance) may not benefit from the change.

What’s the damage?

I know a bunch of SQL people who have never even considered using the UI to create a maintenance plan as they prefer to use scripts for everything. Those people will most likely be unaffected by the typos in the two screenshots above.

I also know a lot of “accidental” SharePoint DBAs (I would consider myself to be one) who like to use the SSMS GUI to create maintenance plans due to the shallow learning curve. There is a fair chance that those people will be affected by the typos shown above, in which case I would consider it important that the fill factor setting is rectified.

The good news is that as far as I am aware this is relatively straightforward to resolve by changing the “free space per page percentage” to either 30% (SharePoint 2007) or 20% (SharePoint 2010) and performing an index rebuild. Although this is a very expensive operation, it could well be a one-off task assuming that you have the correct fill factor set. My advice would be to pick a sensible time during off-peak hours where your users won’t be too cheesed off if your SQL server CPUs(s) happen to hit 100% usage for a while (obviously this will depend on your specific configuration but you get the idea).

Note that although scheduling an index reorganisation task can often be a suitable alternative to rebuilding them (it’s cheaper), it doesn’t change the fill factor assuming you are using the SMSS UI. The fill factor option “applies only when an index is created, or rebuilt” according to MSDN.

Also note that if you are using Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 SP2 and later, the problem may not be as significant as you might think, see the next section…

Do I even need to schedule an index rebuild?

I couldn’t finish this blog post without mentioning the proc_DefragmentIndices stored procedure that was introduced for WSS 3.0 in this KB and remains in SharePoint Foundation and Server 2010. From Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 SP2 and later, the stored procedure is executed as part of a timer job to reduce fragmentation for search, profile and content databases.

The stored procedure rebuilds indexes that are heavily fragmented in order to improve performance. This is great as it means that Microsoft recognised that the use of non-sequential GUIDs as primary keys leads to heavy index fragmentation.

In light of the purpose of this stored procedure, do you need to schedule regular index rebuilds via a maintenance plan? “Probably not” is the best answer I can come up with given my limited knowledge of SQL server and even more limited knowledge of your specific environment. Personally, I find that scheduling a weekly index reorganisation task and leaving index rebuilds to proc_DefragmentIndices keeps fragmentation reigned in.

One more thing…

If you take a close look at the proc_DefragmentIndices stored procedure mentioned above, you will notice that Microsoft rebuild indexes with a fill factor of 80 for both SharePoint 2007 and 2010 despite the guidance contained in the 2007 white paper.

My stance on this is that if a stored procedure is going to execute on a daily basis and potentially change my index fill factor to 80 for heavily fragmented indexes, I may as well set the fill-factor setting to 80 (rather than 70) for consistency. You might find that your results differ but in our environments I have found that 80% fill factor (20% free space per page) is appropriate for both products.

  • Setting an appropriate fill factor according to the MS guidance is definitely worthwhile as it ensures that the fill factor is correct from the off, reducing index fragmentation due to page splits.
  • A server-wide fill factor may not be appropriate, particularly if you are sharing your SQL instance (i.e. it isn’t dedicated to SharePoint).
  • The Microsoft documentation needs to be updated to show the correct settings for an index rebuild.
  • An index rebuild maintenance task can be useful to correct fill factor as a one-off.
  • Otherwise, the provided stored procedure can be relied upon to set fill factor correctly for indexes that are heavily fragmented.
  • A maintenance plan is still important to automate index reorganisation and check the integrity of your databases (in addition to backups).

I’d be interested to read any thoughts or further insights you might have on this.

BREAKING: Bill Halter drops out of Governor's race

Former Lt. Gov. Bill Halter dropped out of the race for Arkansas governor Monday, saying he wanted to avoid a divisive primary with former U.S. Rep. Mike Ross for the Democratic nomination in 2014.

Halter, who entered the race in January, told supporters in an email that he was ending his bid for the state's top office. A spokesman for Halter said the former lieutenant governor would not be available for further comment.

"But since we announced our gubernatorial campaign another strong candidate has entered the primary election and in order to avoid a divisive primary and to help unite the Democratic Party, I am ending my campaign for Governor," Halter wrote. "I congratulate Mike Ross on a great start to his campaign and I will be working hard to elect him and other Democratic nominees for office in the coming election."

Neither Halter, who had been mentioned during his gubernatorial bid as a potential candidate for a central Arkansas congressional seat, nor spokesman Bud Jackson said whether Halter was looking at any other races.

"We're not going to play the rumor game that has been going on ever since he first entered the race," Jackson said

Halter announced he was running for governor on Jan. 25, the same day Attorney General Dustin McDaniel said he was dropping out of the race over questions about an extramarital relationship. Ross, who had initially passed on a run for governor, announced his bid April 15.

Halter's announcement comes two weeks after fundraising reports showed he was far behind Ross in the hunt for donors. Ross announced he had raised nearly $2 million during the quarter, while Halter had raised only $102,900.

Ross is now the only announced Democratic candidate for governor. Former U.S. Rep. Asa Hutchinson, state Rep. Debra Hobbs and Little Rock businessman Curtis Coleman are seeking the Republican nomination.

Democratic Gov. Mike Beebe is barred by term limits from seeking re-election next year.

Sounds & Apples & Potatoes

First, my beloved Max and his husband Michael have put together Sound Shuttle, an installation that "inserts itself at the intersection of sound art and urban studies". Of course I'm biased, but aren't the snippets on their MySpace page great? Sound Shuttle opens at 8pm tonight at 91 mq. (Photos above and below were taken years ago at the Onkel Toms Hütte station in southwest Berlin, easily my favorite U-Bahn stop. Have you been? It's a subway station inside an 1930s shopping center. It's so bleak. Just the signage is worth the trip.)

Second, the artist community LandKunstLeben is holding their annual apple festival this Sunday at the Steinhöfel Garden.  They promise a garden buffet and the chance to pick and cook your own flowers and produce. Those who can't make it this weekend might like to check out the Kochende Gärten cooking courses held in the garden throughout the year.

And finally, the series of Domäne Dahlem markets is kicking into high gear. Last week featured specialities from Brandenburg; this week is the potato festival. Children (and adults) can dig their own potatoes and roast them over an open fire. Coming up are the harvest festival on October 9th & 10th (find a few pictures here) and the textile fair plus Saint Martin's Day parade on November 6th & 7th.

Golf anyone?

This comes courtesy of a buddy who, when he's not brewing Miranda's Climate Friendly Ale is obviously scouring YouTube for golf courses that can challenge his game. (As a side note - I once saw him win a fight with a driver....bent it right across his knee and threw it to the bottom of a pond to chase his Pinnacle 3.)

Epic. Just like this hole...sheeeeesh! At least yelling FORE! isn't really necessary.

Percy Smokes Million Dollar Doobie

This news could cost this gator millions.

Hope it was worth it Percy Harvey. Go gator...

Optimism Meets Reality, Both Can Be Wiley

At 11am this morning Damon Evans will introduce the biggest hire of his tenure as UGAs Athletic Director. The second guessing... well, that began long before he made his decision.

Mark Fox may one day be recognized as good a coach as Pearl, Donovan, Calipari...but on April 3rd, 2009 in name recognition only, he couldn't be any more a polar opposite. Fans are left wondering how we went from Anderson to Fox.

And for that I believe Evans must take some blame; his words set the fanbase up for a BIG hire. He set his sights high and the media and the fans took off running. From the sublime (Capel) to the ridiculous (Knight). While the mutha and the AllJackCrap pimped their supremely vetted candidates, fans ran rampant with names from Anthony Grant to Tom Izzo.

But give credit to Evans for putting the faith and the resources into a program that has lacked both for years. He aimed high and has given this alum reason to believe hoops is on the rise in the Classic City.

This hire will immediately and continually be compared to Bama's with Grant. There was a public "discussion" between Donovan and Adams re: Grant; both Grant and Fox have been successful at comparable programs; Bama went sans search firm, while Evans added the support of extra eyes and investigative resources; and there was the obvious "pass" on the interview as Bama zeroed in on Grant.

I am of the opinion that Grant would have made the better presser, but fall short of feeling he's all that with a side of chips. The one advantage Grant has over Fox at this point is that he is more familiar with the recruiting roads in GA.

But sometimes a fresh name/face/blood can do wonders in sparking an interest, developing and repairing relationships. My guess is Fox will be able to hold his own there. At least until Jacob Dominique Wilkins turns 18 and chooses UGA for his hoops 2024.  : )

I think in the end this hire and the process as a whole fully represents where our program is: looking for the best, but forced to settle for potential. It was nice to dream about Capels and Izzos, but if we wake up with a hidden gem I think we're just as happy.

Friday's Feedbag
  • Had a real nice bit on Logan Gray and the QB situation this spring in the can; then Evans decided he'd rather me post on hoops. Note to Damon: I am your pawn, move me in the direction that best serves our blessed institution. (I'll give you your props a little later Logan....)
  • Speaking of QBs, Tucker of the AJC adds another log to the freshman QB blaze with this piece that shows a little of JCs sense of self-deprecating humor. And Tucker also promises to feature Gray in a feature Sunday. It may be more in-depth than mine, but I bet mine gets a fraction of his reads - HA!
  • Clempson's Saratt bedazzled Georgia batters for eight innings Wednesday night, but had to hand the ball to Vaughn outta the tiggers bullpen in the ninth. Just what Cerione, Poythress and Lewis needed to open up a three run ninth and a come from behind win to sweep a two-game home and home with the urranjah clad diamond dwellers. Will Harvil shut the door in the ninth. Big three game series with LSwho this weekend at Foley for our #1 Diamond Dawgs.
  • By the way...if you're going to Foley this weekend, you already have a ticket. All three games are sold out. Hopefully mudda nature shines as brightly as the bullpen did Wednesday night.
  • Carvell has the latest in what is the witless wonder's escapades up in the hills. It's a KiffyBaby World, the rest of us are just using the gravitational pull with greater success. And credit the AJC recruiting guy for getting in print what may be the only instance of Laney being humble....albeit in relation to his torso, not his tackle football coaching ability.
  • The Queen rules. Literally. But I wonder if the very hip Obama left any Miles Davis or Snoop Dogg on that music player doohickie.
  • The pissin' contest in Mile High is finally over. And the winner, the fans that really don't care.

Some programming notes: if you are looking for this week's discussion on Athens' battle against trans fat, it's here. And BDBs official welcome to Coach Fox is here.

I'm on vacation as of Friday after lunch, but have a few things in the can that will keep you occupied while I'm away reader. Of course, if Jenn and I don't win our tennis match tonight, she may have me pack the car just to watch it leave without me.

Don't leave me with the lawn to mow. Don't leave me with the lawn to mow!

I'll leave ya with this: a month ago tomorrow, I laid out the facts for ya reader. I posed the possibility that Evans could be at the table with pocket jacks or trying to draw into a flush. I think he has four clubs and as a fanbase we'll wait to see what the river card turns up.

And hopefully it doesn't come up Eustache. Happy weekend!

Welcome to Stegeman Coach Fox eager, deserving fan base awaits.

Bernie's take:

  • the swing and miss at Anderson takes away from this hire most of the shine
  • the time Evans had, the very public and debated hiring of a search firm, the telling omission of Grant for the interviewees list, the ridiculous rumorings of Capel and the size of the checkbook Evans was working from made this hire a spectacle early and often
  • Fox is a quality hire that reflects where this program is on the college basketball landscape: eager to dunk (Anderson), settling for a modest layup (Fox) and avoiding the turnover (another year of Felton)
  • I'm eager to find out details of the deal
  • Terrance Moore is NOT gonna like this one at all

Reader, link yo'self!
PWDs rundown (plus a plethora of comments, most of which are coherent)

Hungry? Let's Grab Some Lunch

Recently the hardest working man on the Georgia Dawgs' beat told us of a new business opening in Athens: a place called Rita's Water Ice. As an Athens native and a UGA alum, it got me thinking (as dangerous as that has proven to be) about eateries around campus...
A hmmm....turned into an uhmmmm!.

An empty stomach after a hard day of frisbee on the quad and playing pool at Tate is a bad combination for a college student. Let's take a trip up Baxter and grab some Guthrie's!

My doctor likes to tell me that I'm still carrying some of that Guthrie's special sauce in my arteries and that all those hot wings from Steve's have taken their toll on my HdL, ....or is it LdL.What the hell! It's probably both.

But I just smile, grab that cold metal disc he's placed on my chest and holler into it, "What can I say Doc? Me likes me some Taco Stand!"

So far we've lent our ears to the southwest corner of Sanford and sobered up in some memories of big wins on campus. Today let's grab a handful of Herbie's Balls and talk about our favorite "meals" around campus.

I don't want to restrict you reader to just food on campus. Afterall, I worked a decade one year inside Bolton. I know how they made that chocolate pudding. So imagine a large triangle from South Milledge all the way up to Prince (grab me an order of onion rings, a chili dog and a frosted orange on your way by the V) and then head over to the East Side and cop a squat at Mama Sid's for a slice.

Pass the bleu cheese and tell me what Athens eatery is clogging your vessels?

Wednesday's a New Day

Issues, topics and otherwise random propositions for your mid-week ponderings:
And lastly, David Hale is reporting in his links today that Ron Jirsa is serving as an advisor to Evans at this point in the search. Let's all meet later at Burger King for a left-handed Whopper. I hear they don't come with pickles.
Don't look now but your shoelaces are untied.

Mike Anderson Has Been Offered UGA Hoops Gig

UPDATE: ESPN confirms that Anderson has re-upped with Missouri ending the Anderson to UGA saga.

UPDATE: Towers of AJC fame has spoken to the supercilious Sexton (Anderson's agent) and he refuted Schlabach's report saying UGA has yet to make an offer to his client, which he implied is unfortunate.

Bernie asks: is it possible an agent is working more than one angle?

As expected (and hoped), Mike Anderson has been offered the Head Basketball Coach position at UGA. Multi-year, 2+ million per, according to Schlabach of ESPN.

Now we wait....

If Calipari goes to Kentucky, Anderson will likely have a decision to make and word is Evans has another offer to another candidate ready to go. If Calipari stays, then this may be a slam dunk.

Either way, the Felton chapter will officially close in a couple of days and a new era will begin.

The Coaching Search Just Went out for Recess

And it's kinda like a free-for-all.

The only thing that is relatively certain is that Damon Evans is not set to hire any of these guys -
Another relative certainty is that Calipari is headed to Lexington. PWD at Georgia Sports Blog has a rundown of the rumor mill including what is fact, speculation and just plain fun to read. And David Hale has two shiny pennies that easily add up to his two cents.

What do I think will happen? I think we're about to sit down at the high rollers table and hopefully will walk away with our new hoops coach. If someone has a better hand we may know by the weekend what our Plan B is.

And I'd rather never find out.

UPDATE: Calipari decided to "lemme sleep on it" before he travels to that paradise by the dashboard light, AHEM!. Lexington. And PWD has his eyes on travel logs.

Monday's Meatloaf Unplugged

Sometimes the answers to life's puzzling questions are right under our nose.

I noticed this weekend that our computer was not connecting to the world wide web. After tapping the monitor with my finger a few times, rebooting and then lightly kicking the CPU with my left foot I refused to panic.

I went to bed.

The next morning it didn't take long to realize that the internets fairies had not visited my home office. So I tapped the monitor a few more times, shook the keyboard a little and then prepared to call Ma Bell.
Ma and I go way back, but we don't always communicate well over the telephone; she has a tendency to transfer me to someone else who can help, then repeats every five minutes.

So before resorting to that drastic measure, I decided to check things over one more time. It wasn't long before I saw that the cable the world wide web comes through and into my home was unplugged. For those of you less knowledgeable than I am about technical thingiemabobs, this would be the equivalent of someone unplugging the picture box in your living room and turning the screen black.

So I plugged the cable back in and immediately found out that while I was away from the internets there was a wealthy businessman in Zimbabwe that needed my help and banking account to hide his money.

Whew! Disaster averted.

In other recent news, Georgia signed another kicker - Brandon Bogatay of San Diego. This is being hailed as another opportunity to cure what ails our dreadful kicking game. But like an unplugged cable, the answer to that problem could be as simple as a quick fix.
The Senator has some statistical analysis that is worth some digestion. As bad as our rankings were in kickoffs last season, it may not mean a hill of beans. Then he follows that up with the path that led us to recognizing the name of Bogatay.
Personally I didn't see a whole lot wrong with Walsh's technique, other than some freshman jitters at times. I always welcome competition and maybe this new kid can bury the ball deep into the endzone more routinely and is more consistent in placing the pigskin between the uprights.

Then again, maybe he's just another kicker that we teach to kick to the left hash on the 20 yard line. Plug that thought into your circuit and see if you think it's wired correctly.

Today's Ingredients
  • Calipari likes Lexington and the feeling might be mutual. It becomes even more apparent that UKs head round ball coaching search should not directly interfere with UGAs.
  • Sure Calipari is a good coach. But this alum would just rather not have a coach who is on the NCAAs speed dial.
  • Two names that Evans could have been waiting on are now done dancing. Capel is a perceived longshot and was ousted by UNC yesterday. Meanwhile Anderson seems ready to sit down at a table and sign off on a personal stimulus package. Mizzou lost Saturday to UConn.
  • The Diamond Dawgs held on to sweep the voWels up in Knoxville. The bullpen and some untimely errors made for some shorter finger nails, but the series win was the Dawgs first in Knoxville since '01.
  • Meanwhile the mens tennis team didn't let travel delays disrupt their court swagger as they dominated the Hogs in Fayetteville.
  • Trump boardroom update: I do believe Jesse James told Rodman to "Shet up!" and bow down to the greater man in Herschel Walker.
  • Now that Rodman's gone I guess the chances of seeing 34 giving him the Bill Bates treatment drops significantly.
  • The Final Four is set. Which means we are about a week away from being subjected any longer to Obama's bracket. At least until next March.
  • Good article by Weiszer on Bryan Evans and his transformation from the goat at corner to potential stud at FS.
  • And Bubba 'N Earl have their latest edition of Bringing Back Traditions with some Old School Cheers. If you wanna know what song Streit will be singing after this years' GA-floriDuh game - give it a click.

Should be an exciting week with spring drills nearing their apex, Evans poised to make the signature hire of his tenure as AD and Bernie making final preparations for a little vacation next week. Yup! Hitting the ESC key on the keyboard did little to repair my internet connection Saturday, but loading up the Tahoe Saturday will help the Bernie family escape the perils of civilized life.

In the mean time, stick a fork in it reader and call it lunch.

Bernie Plays the Role of MLB GM

If I were to start my own professional baseball team...the first player I draft is this guy....

Rich Poythress is a man among boys in collegiate baseball. He wore his cape again Saturday in Knoxville and helped the Dawgs to an 11-9 win, ensuring their first series win there since 2001.

2017 Horse Racing Predictions - Racebook Lines at BetDSI Sportsbook

Home › Sports Betting › Live Lines › Horse Racing

Horse Racing

Horse racing betting is available every day at Diamond sportsbook as you can bet on horse races at many different racetracks around the world. There are a number of different options for each race starting with win, place and show wagers and continuing with exotic wagers like exacta, trifecta, the Daily Double, pick three, pick four and pick six, etc. And the best part about horse racing betting is that you can make multiple wagers over and over again throughout the day at the online racebook and have continual action.

Go To Horses Odds

Let’s take a closer look at horse racing betting and some of the big races for the year like the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, Belmont Stakes and the Breeders’ Cup

Horse Racing Bets

Win, place and show – This means that if you bet on a horse to win in horse betting he must win the race, if you are betting to place he must finish first or second, and if you are betting to show he must finish first, second or third.

Quinella, exacta, trifecta, Daily Double, Pick Three, Pick Four and Pick Six - The exacta is picking the exact order of finish of the first two horses in a horse betting race. A quinella is similar, but your two horses can finish in any order as long as they run first and second in horse betting. A trifecta is a horse racing wager in which you predict the order of the first three horses. A Daily Double is where you are predicting the winner of two consecutive races, usually the first two or the last two on the card.

With a Pick Three you must select the winner of three consecutive races and with the Pick Four you must correctly pick the winner of four straight races. Pick Threes are usually available on any three races while the Pick Four is a group of track-selected races, normally the last four races. The Pick Six can also be available and it is normally the last six races on the card or the last six races on the card except the final race.

Bet on Horses at BetDSI

Triple Crown

The most popular race of the year in horse racing betting is the Kentucky Derby. It is the first race in the Triple Crown and it is by far the most popular race of the year. It is held the first Saturday of May each year. Two weeks later is the Preakness Stakes and three week after the Preakness is the Belmont Stakes. A horse must win all three races to win the Triple Crown, something that has not been done since 1978.

Kentucky Derby

The first Saturday in May is when many people start to get excited about horse racing betting each year.  The Kentucky Derby is the first big race of the year and it is the most bet race of the year.  The Kentucky Derby is also the race where bettors can hit a big ticket.  There are 20 horses in the field which means some huge payouts are possible.  Many bettors that don’t wager on any other horse race during the year will make a Kentucky Derby wager.  There are big payoffs possible for exacta, trifecta and superfecta wagers.

Preakness Stakes

The second race in horse racing’s Triple Crown is the Preakness Stakes. It takes place two weeks after the Kentucky Derby.  Unlike the Derby, the race will not have a big field and the payouts are smaller.  The race has historically been a race where the favorite does really well. It is also the race that determines if there will be a Triple Crown on the line in the upcoming Belmont Stakes.

Belmont Stakes

It is usually all or nothing with Belmont Stakes betting as in years that a horse is going for the Triple Crown the action is huge while in years that there is no Triple Crown at stake the action is much less.  It is getting to the point where many people are wondering if there will ever be a Triple Crown winner again as the last one was Affirmed in 1978. The Belmont is a grueling mile and a half race and no horse has been able to withstand the rigors or the Kentucky Derby and Preakness and then win the Belmont since 1978.

Bet on Horses at BetDSI

Breeders’ Cup

While the Kentucky Derby is the most popular single race of the year, the Breeders’ Cup is the most popular two days of horse racing. The Breeders’ Cup takes place each year in early November with four races on Friday and nine on Saturday including the Breeders’ Cup Classic which is the highlight of the horse racing card on Saturday.

We Lost Jake

Punchestown Pair Today

Paul Ferguson reckons Sizing Europe (5.30) and Thegreatjohnbrowne (6.40) are in good shape at Punchestown today.

The Punchestown Festival gets underway with a cracking card this evening and the highlight on day one is the Grade 1 Boylesports.com Champion Chase, in which the first four from the Queen Mother re-oppose and, though he was beaten here last year after winning the Arkle at Cheltenham, it is worth sticking with Sizing Europe (5:30).

He has ground to make up on Golden Silver and Big Zeb from their running here in January, but he had 5 lengths to spare over the latter when a brilliant winner of the Champion Chase in March.

The son of Pistolet Bleu relishes a decent surface and if he jumps as he did last time he will take some pegging back. Timmy Murphy won the Greatwood Hurdle on him back in 2007 and he won a novice hurdle at this fixture in the same year when, ironically, he beat Big Zeb.

Later on the card the Grade 1 Growise Novice Chase is another very competitive contest, in which Aintree winner Quito De La Roque heads the market. He probably has more on his plate here, while Quel Esprit certainly has the natural ability to win at this level but arrives here on the back of two heavy falls.

So, the one I want to be with at the prices, is the fresh Thegreatjohnbrowne (6:40) who carries the silks of JP McManus for the first time tonight.

Noel Meade’s seven-year-old won his first two starts over fences at this venue, before finishing fourth in a Grade 1 at Leopardstown over Christmas. He was 3¼ lengths off RSA winner Bostons Angel that day, but he had already beaten him by 5 lengths on his fencing debut over 2m4f and, crucially, on good ground.

If he had jumped better last time he may well have troubled the winner once again and, given that he has missed the big spring Festivals in England and has form on a decent surface, he looks a solid each-way alternative at 11/2 with Hills (or 5/1 with Bet365 who are paying ¼ odds).

Tuesday’s selection:
5:30 Punchestown Sizing Europe (9/4)
6:40 Punchestown Thegreatjohnbrowne each-way (11/2)

A Brief History of My Back

Last week, after kettlebell, my back felt stiff. I thought it was the usual soreness, especially since I'd upped my weight for the first time in a while, using a 10KG bell for most of class. I decided to take the rest of the week off from kettlebell (I've been going three times a week) and instead focus on running and yoga. I went for two pretty speedy runs - a three miler, and a five mile tempo run with Nathan. While my back felt okay while I was running, it continued to feel stiff and sore when I was doing anything else.

And then I woke up on Saturday morning, and I could barely move.

I wasn't too alarmed. For the last few years, I've experienced this sort of intense lower back pain. I refer to it as "tweaking my back," and it feels a bit like my lower back muscles have seized up and can't relax. Sometimes I can pinpoint the moment it happens - I move wrong in yoga, I swing a kettlebell too high, I sneeze. Othertimes the soreness just sort of settles in. In both cases, I deal with it the same way - rest, relaxation, and plenty of stretching. After a few days, I'm back to normal.

While this used to happen once every few months, for the last year it's been happening more frequently. Every other month, and then every few weeks. And pain had gotten worse, too. It used to be a dull ache, stiff and uncomfortable. Then the pain got sharper. On Saturday morning, the pain was so intense, I couldn't sit in a chair, or walk normally, or even take a deep breath. The only thing that helped was lying flat on my back, so I spent the day in bed reading and feeling sorry for myself. My only consolation was that it would probably be better in the morning.

Sunday came, and it was worse. On Monday, I had to get out of bed to teach and by the time I was done sitting in my chair for two hours, the pain was unbearable. I called a chiropractic, made an appointment, and was in his office within an hour.

I had never been to a chiropractic before, and was glad that this one came recommended from a friend. He has excellent student rates, and he's a holistic chiropractic, focusing on preventive care (for which I was admittedly late). He also believes that the health of the spine influences everything in the body, and that regular adjustments can cure all kinds of ailments, from menstrual cramps to autism. I'm not sure how sold I am on that particular idea, but I'm trying to keep an open mind.

At my first appointment, the doctor measured my back with an infrared machine, which produced a map of my spine, showing where my back was inflamed, my spine misaligned. Y'all, I was in bad shape. My lower back was a mess, and my neck also showed a lot of inflammation. After talking about my chronic back pain, the new frequency and intensity of the episodes, and my exercise history, he came to a few conclusions, most of which makes sense.

He explained that the reason I experience these flare ups in my lower back is because my hip flexors are so tight, pulling my pelvis out of alignment. When I lived in Texas and practiced yoga three times a week, I was able to keep the pain to a minimum, despite the fact that I ran marathons (thank you, warriors and lunges!). When I moved to North Carolina, yoga took a backseat. At the same time, I started swinging kettlebells and continued running. So, less stretching and more strength training, which included a million squats, and what do you think happened? My hips are never been tighter, and my back pain has reached a breaking point.

For now, I will be going to the chiropractic twice a week for adjustments. This seemed like a lot at first, but he explained it like this - my back has been out of alignment for years and years (possibly since the trauma of birth, but again, I'm not quite sold on that idea). Each time he adjusts me, my back fights it, straining to return to the positions it's used to, even though they're wrong. Basically, we have to retrain my back, which is annoying and stupid and why can't my back just listen to the damn doctor? But it also makes sense.

The other thing I have to do is start going to yoga five times a week while I'm healing, and then three times a week to maintain. He also suggested I take a break from running, which shouldn't be difficult, as I'm still having trouble walking like a normal person.

Yes, that's right. Even after two adjustments, my back is only marginally better. I can sit for longer periods of time, and I can move - slowly, carefully - without shooting pain. But it still hurts, and it still sucks, and overall I've had a pretty dull week, what with the lying in bed for twenty hours a day. At least I'm getting a lot of reading done.

This post is pretty long already, so I'll end it here. But I will update y'all again after another week or two of adjustments & yoga, and let you know things go, if I think it's worth the money (which will be another long post, I'm sure, because what we're willing to spend on preventative care is fascinating and complicated), and whether I think a healthy spine is the key to, well, everything. Until then, I have a lot of yoga and lying down to do.

And if you're in the Wilmington area and are interested in holistic chiropractic care, I'm currently going here. The doctor and his staff are kind and friendly, the office is lovely, and I'm seen so quickly I've never actually had to sit in the waiting room. Which is especially appreciated, since sitting is still kind of hard.

  1. I like your disclaimers about not believing everything.
    I'm sorry about your back.

  2. I'm glad the chiropractor is helping! I'm such a wuss when it comes to back pain.

  3. Although I don't believe everything they tell me, the adjustments really help. I've been in a fair amount of pain since my fall during the competition and after my last two adjustments, things have really gotten a lot better.

  4. Oh, dear! I'm so sorry to hear about your back pain, but I'm happy to hear you are working toward a healthier, happier back (and hips!). Alignment issues make COMPLETE sense to me, especially for someone who does so much running and now strength training. Good healing to you--I hope you are free of pain by the time you read this :-)

    (And man, if that weren't a kick in the pants to get on the yoga mat, then I don't know what is. At least that part of your therapy is fun, cheap, and relaxing!)

  5. It's not surprising to read that your spine was misaligned for years already. Our body will be in pain when most of our illnesses have gotten more severe or have gone untreated for years. Like you, my lower back pain is still giving me a hard time, but I'm glad my chiropractor assists me all the time. Anyway, it's been a month now, and I really hope you're having continuous healing. Thanks for the post!

  6. Glad that you worked hand-in-hand with your chiropractor. Their treatments will never be as efficient as possible when you don't heed their advice. I don't really know if a month is enough for you to realign your spine, but I do hope you continue to visit your chiropractor for continuous treatments. I hope you get well as soon as possible. Keep us updated! :)

  7. This sounds really awful. I hope this gets better soon.

Clockclean Er

Sometimes, all I want to hear is loud, angry, sludgy, irritated, breaking-out, flailing punk. Noise, but not just random noise ... no, a terrain of noise, with some sort of structure, singing, voices, a drum routine; in short, some chaotic semblance of a song, but so, so far gone, there's barely anything to hold onto anymore.

Clockclean Er's (MySpace) latest did it for me. Now I'm fulfilled. The single, "Vomiting Mirrors," from their forthcoming sophomore effort, Babylon Rules (out October 3 on Load Records), is a page straight out of Flipper's book or something. Every piece of the song is on the verge of collapsing from the noise and internal pressur or going absolutely insane. It's great. I love it.

The international trio (the guy comes from Munich, the girl and drummer, Pennsylvania) will blow you away, if not from fear or shock, at least just from the sheer volume of these songs. Check out "Vomiting Mirrors" below.
