Property hot spots of tomorrow
16th Aug 2016By: John McGrath
Savvy property investors are always on the lookout for the hot spots of tomorrow because that’s where the greatest potential for capital growth lies.
Some of the tell-tale signs of potential future growth are: beneficial new infrastructure such as new roads and transport, redevelopment of retail centres, and more lifestyle amenities such as new recreational centres, café villages and restaurants.
So buyers, let me tell you about Toowoomba.
Toowoomba is located 125km west of Brisbane and in my opinion, is one of the most exciting emerging regional centres in Australia. It’s already our second largest inland city (after Canberra) but its growth is far from over.
Right now, Toowoomba has all the hallmarks for growth. We believe its strong focus and investment in infrastructure, retail and lifestyle precincts will have an impact on both interstate migration and employment opportunities in the short, medium and long term.
Several multi-million dollar projects are either underway or being planned, namely the $1.6 billion Second Range Crossing, the development of the 550 hectare Wellcamp Airport Business Park; the $500 million redevelopment of Grand Central shopping centre and the transformation of the railway precinct into an urban village and parklands.
To remind you – the key indicators of a hot spot are beneficial new infrastructure, redevelopment of retail centres and more lifestyle amenities … and Toowoomba has them all.
Guess what else is great about Toowoomba? The median house price is just $362,000 (CoreLogic). This affordable price point is not only attractive to the locals, it’s also attractive to tree changers, downsizers and investors. The median house rent is $305 per week (realestate.com.au) – a respectable yield of 4.4%.
When do you buy in a hot spot? Ideally, it’s pretty soon after major projects have been approved or have commenced. The effects are not yet there, so they haven’t been felt by the property market – yet.
Our McGrath Toowoomba Principal, Toby Sandell says we’re at the best point in the cycle for buying for long-term capital growth now.
“Our local market has been subdued for the past year since the banks tightened investment lending. As a result, we’ve seen very few investors in the marketplace, a decline in sales volumes of 33% (APM) and the region’s average days on market has increased to 67 days (REA),” Sandell says.
“While there’s fewer investors, the flipside is we’ve seen more first home buyers and upgraders taking advantage of affordable buying and lower interest rates. There is good demand from locals for quality properties in the right areas.
“Interestingly, the median house price rose by 1% over the year despite these tougher conditions. The fact that the price is holding and even increasing slightly is a sign of Toowoomba’s resilience and strength. One reason for this is strong and stable employment with the state’s lowest unemployment figures.
“In the lead-up to Spring, we are just starting to see a few more positive signs with a bit more buyer enquiry and a few more investors from Sydney and Melbourne returning to look for well-priced homes.
“Stock is tight but we have been busy doing more appraisals for the past four-six weeks so we’re expecting that stock shortage to ease. We are currently marketing a number of high-end properties which have all attracted good numbers at opens.”
Okay. Let’s talk specific projects.
Brisbane West Wellcamp Airport
The airport is having a positive effect on the accessibility of the region both domestically and into Asian markets. It is continuing to expand, with direct passenger flights to Melbourne and Cairns commencing in March. Several agri-based companies are setting up in the surrounding Business Park in order to take their produce directly to Asia. One of these is a baby milk formula factory – the first in Queensland, which will export directly to China.
Second Range Crossing
This new 41km road is important because it will take trucks off city streets, creating a better community amenity, while also enabling a faster trip for freight services. It will create 1,800 full-time jobs. Major construction is underway, with the peak phase expected around mid-2017, so as more workers move in during summer and into 2017, we expect to see weekly rents rise as well.
Grand Central redevelopment
Stage 1 of this massive new shopping centre should be open for Christmas retailing. The redevelopment will include a new dining precinct, department stores, supermarkets and almost 160 other stores.
Railway Parklands Precinct redevelopment
This 50 hectare site will incorporate a central park, shops, commercial and industrial facilities and residential options. The council estimates it will provide up to 3,300 jobs during construction and a further 1,800 jobs in retail and service industries. The developer is currently working with council to finalise the plans.
Now, a final word from Toby:
“We see a very bright future for the town and the region. The airport’s expansion, the Second Range Crossing and the Grand Central extension will be pivotal to growth and employ thousands of workers once operational.
“The next big thing for us is the Melbourne to Brisbane Inland Rail line project, which would make Toowoomba a major logistical hub and bring more jobs and businesses to our region if it proceeds in its current proposed form.
“We feel that now is a fantastic time to buy and get in early before the next stage of growth starts to happen in the region.”
Super-Hot Spots within a Hot Spot
Every city has its super-hot spots. Right now, most of Toowoomba presents great buying, but we’ve highlighted a few suburbs that are the most popular right now and primed for capital growth.
South Toowoomba and Centenary Heights
Hot price bracket: $350k-$500k
Buyer demographic: Young families wanting value for money and close proximity to the CBD
East Toowoomba and Rangeville
Buyer demographic: Premium suburbs for upgrading families, although stock is very tight

Mobil to restore Lyttelton terminal storage capacity
Published by Callum O'Reilly, Senior Editor
Tanks and Terminals, Monday, 20 November 2017 09:10
Mobil Oil New Zealand Ltd has announced plans to improve fuel supply capacity for the South Island with the construction of two tanks at its fuel terminal in Lyttelton.
The tanks will be located adjacent to Mobil’s existing terminal at George Seymour Quay and will store petrol and diesel. They will replace those damaged by a 2014 landslide at Mobil’s Naval Point facility. The company expects to complete the work in early 2019.
Restoring the Lyttelton fuel terminal’s storage capacity is the latest of several recent major investments by Mobil, including the launch of its new Synergy family of fuels and associated service station enhancements, as well as the upgrade of its bulk fuels terminal at Mount Manganui.
“Construction of new tanks will restore fuel storage capacity at our Lyttelton operation, which, along with the Lyttelton-Woolston pipeline and Woolston Terminal, is an important part of the fuel supply chain in the South Island,” said Andrew McNaught, Country Manager for Mobil.

Israeli military defends tactics as video appears to show unarmed Gaza protesters shot by snipers

The Israeli military has defended its handling of clashes in Gaza which left 16 Palestinians dead even as footage emerged appearing to show unarmed protesters being shot by Israeli snipers.
Palestinian mourners called for "revenge" as they buried their dead after the bloodiest day in Gaza since the 2014 war and both side braced for what is expected to be weeks of rolling protests.
Around 30,000 Palestinians marched towards the Israeli border on Friday, where some hurled rocks and burning tyres and Israeli troops opened fire with live ammunition.
António Guterres, the UN secretary general, called for an investigation into the killings.
The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) said that its forces had fired only at specific people who were deemed to be “violent instigators” in the demonstrations.
“The use of snipers was against specific people who were specific perpetrators of violence,” said Lt Col Peter Lerner, an IDF spokesman.
However, widely shared videos on social media appeared to show at least two unarmed men by Israel gunfire.
Three separate clips were published on social media purporting to show one Palestinian shot as he walked towards the border the Israel.

— Christiaan Triebert (@trbrtc) March 31, 2018
Another clip showed a young man running away from Israeli positions holding a car tyre. Car tyres are sometimes set on fire by protesters and rolled towards Israeli forces.
In the clip he appears to be shot in the back and crumples to the ground. Palestinian media reported that the man, identified as 18-year-old Abed el-Fatah Abed e-Nabi, later died from his injuries
Lt Col Lerner said he could not comment on the specifics of the incident. “The fact that you have a video of 30 seconds showing this guy running away and being shot means you don’t see the context or what he was doing beforehand,” he said.
A second clip appears to shows an unidentified man, with no visible weapons, walking slowly towards the Israeli position when he was shot. It is not known if he was killed.
Hamas, the Islamist militant group that controls the Gaza Strip, said in a statement that five of the 16 people killed were members of its armed wing who were participating in the protests.
About | Hamas
The Israeli military released footage showing two men with assault rifles trying to break through the Israeli fence on Friday night. Both men were killed by fire from Israeli tanks. The UK, US and EU all consider Hamas to be a terrorist group.
A spokesman for Mr Guterres said the UN leader wanted “an independent and transparent investigation into these incidents.
“He also appeals to those concerned to refrain from any act that could lead to further casualties and in particular any measures that could place civilians in harm's way.”
The violence comes at the start of a tense period which will culminate in the opening of the controversial US embassy in Jerusalem in May and the 70th anniversary of what Palestinians call “The Nakba” - the mass displacement of Arabs during the 1948 war with Israel.

Friday’s demonstrations were billed as the start of the “Great March of Return”, in which Palestinian refugees will demand to be able to return to their 1948 homes in what is today Israel.
Palestinians have erected camp sites of tents at five locations along the Gaza border and plan to move the tents closer and closer to the border as the May 15 Nakba anniversary nears. The protests have been backed by Hamas.
Small demonstration continued on Saturday and there were reports of some injuries among Palestinians but no major confrontations are expected until next Friday.
The Israeli military tweeted early on Saturday its response was “accurate and measured, and we know where every bullet landed”.
When asked by reporters a spokesman could not say how many live rounds the Israeli military fired on Friday or how many people were shot. The military later deleted the tweet.

Tony Blair: I did not understand Islam at time of 9/11 attacks
The September 11 attacks represented the declaration of war by a new type of enemy, Tony Blair says.

11:15PM BST 31 Aug 2010
He claims that he quickly realised the implications of the 9/11 suicide bombers crashing aircraft into the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon, having heard the news while preparing to deliver a speech to the TUC in Brighton.
Mr Blair says he understood the new war was ideological, but admits that at the time he did not fully understand the history of Islam. He admits he underestimated the “hold of this extremism”.
Only the future will tell if it would have been better to fight the war using military intervention or “soft power”.
But he insists he followed his instinct and convictions, and would not have changed his decisions on Iraq or Afghanistan even if he had known the length of the campaign.
“To try to escape conflict would have been a grave mistake, political cowardice.”

But after the deadline passed he decided to hold fire, and once the pilot re-established contact he had to sit down and thank the heavens.

Ankara will continue its military operation in Syria "with or without the support" of the world
Turkey said Tuesday that it will continue its military operation in northern Syria "with or without the support" of the world and denounced the "dirty market" concluded between the Kurdish forces and the regime ...
Turkey remains inflexible. Despite various calls from the international community to stop the offensive in northern Syria, suspensions of arms exports from several European countries or American sanctions against it, Ankara says "continue to fight all groups terrorists, including Daesh, whether the world accepts or not support us. "
"A dirty market"
Turkish communications director Fahrettin Altun, who was questioned by AFP on Wednesday (October 15th), also accused Kurdish YPG militias of "deliberately targeting civilians at the border, including journalists, before concluding a dirty market with the Assad regime ". Considered "terrorists" by Ankara, the YPG are allies of the West in the fight against the jihadists of the Islamic State organization.
Syrian forces in Manbij
"This agreement, which impedes the Turkish operation to create a security zone, already has consequences on the ground," said Ludovic de Foucaud, correspondent for France 24 based in Istanbul, Turkey. Damascus forces began deploying in parts of northern Syria and took control of the city of Manbij, says the Russian Ministry of Defense.
"Manbij changes hands for the fourth time in eight years," says Ludovic de Foucaud. The city, located 30 kilometers from the Turkish border, was one of the first fiefs of the Islamic State group in January 2014, before passing, two years later, under the umbrella of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). Since July 2018, it is controlled by a military council composed of Arab and Kurdish fighters.
The ministry added that Russian military police "conduct patrols at the northwestern borders of the region, along the line of contact" between Syrian and Turkish forces.
Mike Pence in Turkey on Wednesday
Russia's special envoy for Syria, Alexander Lavrentiev, said Moscow would not allow clashes between the Turkish and Syrian armies. Such clashes "are not in anyone's interest and would be unacceptable," he said, quoted by the state agency Tass from Abu Dhabi, where Russian President Vladimir Putin is traveling Tuesday.
The Turkish offensive provoked an international outcry and the UN Security Council is scheduled to meet again on Wednesday. US Vice President Mike Pence is due to leave for Turkey "in the next 24 hours" to negotiate a ceasefire.

Raise a loud car and send a document to a man who drives Aori on a threatening charge September 19 15:07
A 57-year-old man was sent a document for threatening the other driver by driving in a tilted way while driving loudly in Kita-ku, Tokyo.
The document was sent to a self-employed 57-year-old man living in Kita-ku, Tokyo.
According to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, on May 1 at Meiji-dori in Showa-cho, Kita-ku, we drive around for about 1 kilometer. It means that.
Furthermore, when he stopped waiting for a traffic light, he got out of the car and opened the door of the opponent's car, threatening that he was selling the fight.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department sent out documents on the 19th as a series of acts were intimidating as a result of conducting investigations after receiving video of drive recorders from victims.
In response to the investigation, the man acknowledged the charges and stated that he had misunderstood that the opponent's car was in the way.

H-E-B Executive Slams CMS Rule
Describing cuts to Medicaid reimbursement as devastating to retail pharmacies, Dennis Wiesner, senior director of privacy, regulatory, government and industry affairs, and pharmacy managed care, H.E. Butt Grocery Co., San Antonio, this month called on Congress to pass the Fair Medicaid Drug Payment Act that would permanently overturn the average manufacturer price regulations put in place by the Centers
Dan Alaimo | May 26, 2008
WASHINGTON — Describing cuts to Medicaid reimbursement as “devastating” to retail pharmacies, Dennis Wiesner, senior director of privacy, regulatory, government and industry affairs, and pharmacy managed care, H.E. Butt Grocery Co., San Antonio, this month called on Congress to pass the Fair Medicaid Drug Payment Act that would permanently overturn the average manufacturer price regulations put in place by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Baltimore, and are now blocked by a federal judge.
If allowed to stand, Medicaid reimbursements would be based on AMP where they used to be based on AWP — average wholesale price. AMP has historically been used as a benchmark for manufacturer rebates, but CMS seeks to implement AMP as a reimbursement benchmark, potentially putting 10,000 to 12,000 pharmacies out of business, according to industry estimates.
“The AMP rule was fundamentally flawed in many ways, but in particular, it fails to provide a thorough analysis of the economic impact that the rule would have on small pharmacy businesses, as required under the Regulatory Flexibility Act,” Wiesner said. He testified at a hearing on the impact of CMS regulations before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Small Business' Subcommittee on Regulations, Health Care and Trade on behalf of the National Association of Chain Drug Stores, Alexandria, Va.

Rising Prices Impact Behavior: Study
About one-fourth (24%) of consumers would shop for groceries at a cheaper store than they do today if food prices continue to rise, according to a survey released by Citigroup Global Markets here last week. The study revealed that about 12% of consumers said that in the past year they have already begun shopping at cheaper stores. The survey was conducted online in Washington state and Texas,
Donna Boss 1 | Mar 31, 2008
NEW YORK — About one-fourth (24%) of consumers would shop for groceries at a cheaper store than they do today if food prices continue to rise, according to a survey released by Citigroup Global Markets here last week.
The study revealed that about 12% of consumers said that in the past year they have already begun shopping at cheaper stores.
The survey was conducted online in Washington state and Texas, where the three largest supermarket companies (Kroger, Safeway and Supervalu) all compete with both Wal-Mart and Target.
“If food prices continue to rise, we believe that we will see an increase in trading down, even to the point where more consumers decide to switch from their preferred supermarkets to lower-priced retailers,” wrote Deborah Weinswig, retail analyst at Citigroup, in the report.
More than a third (35%) of consumers said they have been spending less on “splurge” items, such as wine and chocolates, and 30% said they have been trading down to less expensive products, such as substituting chicken for beef.
Despite rising prices, about 23% of consumers said they had not changed their behavior at all. Those households with income of $75,000 or more were least likely to have changed their behavior, with 31% saying they have not done so.
In other findings, Wal-Mart was far and away perceived to be the price leader, with 72% of survey respondents saying it had the lowest prices, followed by 6.9% who said Kroger was cheapest and 6.4% who said Supervalu was cheapest. Safeway was cited as the most expensive.
“We believe these results show how strong investments in pricing at Wal-Mart and Kroger have impacted consumer perceptions,” Weinswig wrote.

Shifty wave peaks challenge surfers at Playa Venao
April 18, 2012 | Surfing
Onshore winds, stormy clouds and inconstant wave faces marked the third day of action at the 2012 ISA World Junior Surfing Championship. Playa Venao delivered rippable three-to-five-foot waves for the qualifying rounds of both Girls and Boys divisions.
Picking the right equipment and selecting the right spot to sit in the lineup has proven critical. The problem is that from 20-minute heat to 20-minute heat, the wave will shift and a strategy may become obsolete.
"I had it all planned for where I was going to sit and which waves to look for, but when I was running down the beach for my heat, I was watching it and it had totally changed," Ellie-Jean Coffey (AUS) said. "You have to be able to adapt out there because you never really know what to expect with these tides."
The shattered heat strategy didn’t much affect Coffey, as she went on to win her heat convincingly, putting the other three surfers in the combination situation, requiring two higher scores to match her. Coffey’s score of 15.83 was the highest of the day in the Girls division.
The top performance in the Boys competition came from Brazil’s Deivid Silva, who was a wave magnet in his heat, finding the biggest and longest waves to execute ferocious snaps and an array of aerial maneuvers. He finished with a two-wave total of 18.30, which included the highest single-wave score of the event, 9.97.
Other high-scoring standouts included Kaoli Kahokuloa (HAW), Tom Cloarec (FRA) and Tommy Boucaut (FRA) in the Under-18s, and Max Armstrong (RSA), Ian Gentil (HAW) and Vitor Bernardo (BRA) in the Under-16s.
Early in the event, Australia, Brazil, Hawaii, Japan, Portugal, South Africa, Tahiti and USA are still running strong, with multiple athletes still in the Qualifying Round (no Repechage heats have been run, so no surfers are yet eliminated). The top eight teams qualify to compete at the 2013 ISA China Cup.
"We just love Panama and its great waves. In one day of surfing is like surfing 3 or 4 surf spots," said Fernando Aguerre, the Presidnet of the ISA. "The weather has been incredible, and the vibe at the event is wonderful. I wish this event would last one whole month."
Other standouts in the Girls competition included Barbara Segatto (BRA), Karelle Poppke (TAH), Quincy Davis (USA) and Carina Duarte (POR), who took down South Africa’s Sarah Baum, one of the top-rated competitors in the event.
Another highlight of the morning came in Round 1 when Emily Gussoni of Costa Rica advanced through her heat in second behind Vania Torres (POR). At just 12 years old, Gussoni is one of the youngest competitors in the event.
"It’s my second [ISA World Championship event], and to get into the second round makes me feel very happy," she said. "I am very proud because I know I did my best."

Contraceptive pill leaves Sussex woman with six-inch tumour
Tasha Luck
Stephen Wynn-Davies
Published: 11:07 Friday 01 November 2019
A Sussex woman has been told she cannot get pregnant for two years after the contraceptive pill left her with a six-inch tumour in her liver.
Tasha Luck, 25, from Hastings, said she was referred for a blood test in November 2018 after feeling physically exhausted.
Tasha Luck with her husband Lydon
The results showed an abnormal liver function and Tasha was sent for an ultrasound and CT scans.
Doctors were initially concerned the 16cm tumour was cancerous but results received just before Christmas last year showed it was not.
However, in January, Tasha stopped taking the contraceptive pill Microgynon 30 and the tumour began to shrink.
This prompted doctors to believe it was caused by increased oestrogen levels as a result of her taking the pill.
Tasha Luck has been told she will have to wait two years to have a child
In September, Tasha underwent a five-hour operation to have the tumour removed but was told she would have to wait at least two years to have children as the increased levels of oestrogen experienced in pregnancy could cause the tumour to return and burst under the pressure of the growing baby.
Tasha, who married her husband Lydon, 30, in 2018, said: “It was really scary. I had no idea that was even possible from taking the pill.
“What’s worse is no one else seems to have a clue. I have had a load of women message me on Facebook talking about the same problem.
“People don’t know the full risks associated with taking the contraceptive pill. I want to tell my story to spread awareness.”
Tasha Luck underwent a five hour operation to have her tumour removed
Tasha said her tumour was found ‘accidentally’ after mentioning to her GP that she was feeling ‘physically exhausted’.
She added: “I was sent for a routine blood test and they called me back the next day to say there might be a problem with my liver.
“I went to Conquest, had a CT scan and an MRI, then up to King’s in London for a biopsy.

These are the top rated East Sussex GP practices - according to patients
“They thought I had cancer and I had to live with that for about two weeks – but luckily it wasn’t cancerous. It was hormonal caused by the pill. I had too much oestrogen in my body which was causing the tumour.”
Tasha was told an operation to remove a tumour of that size would be a big risk but she said she wanted it out.
She is now recovering from her operation – which took place on September 25 – attending six-monthly appointments and hoping to start her family in two years.

Fix History Album Review
“gloriously experimental pop music, alternately epic and understated, alluring and demanding of attention.”
"The songs take the basic pop song construct and turn it on its head. The sounds that can be achieved with a duo making use of a sequencer and other instruments is astounding, and the rich layering is not just a mere studio trick. Seeing this band live will make you a believer.
SAVAGEHENRYMAGAZINE.COM
Live Show Review
"The band creates music that is both challenging, while also accessible enough to appeal to the casual listener. The duo has amassed a solid local following with a number of passionate performances in our area over the last several years. The band’s execution in a live setting leaves the audience awestruck by their intensity of delivery as well as the enormous sound projected by the two artists."

Band of the Week: Teach Me Equals on tour
"It started with droning, distorted strings from a cello and violin. The sound, something more commonly associated with electric guitars than typically expected from the bowed instruments. Thumping reverberations echoed off the Stanhope House's walls. And like that, the bows were discarded. The haunting strokes replaced by a drum beat, and plucked strings...
Teach Me Equals is Erin Murphy (guitar, violin and vox) and Greg Bortnichak (cello, sequencing, vox). Murphy and Bortnichak came together as Teach Me Equals in Sarasota, FL in 2011. Living states apart and fronting their own individual projects at the time, they threw caution to the wind and began writing as a duo. They moved onto the road in 2013, and are now semi-based out of Olympia, WA.
At times fearlessly oblique, and often intentionally challenging, experimental pop / post-classical duo Teach Me Equals craft music at turns intimate and grandiose. The rough-edged shag of found sounds is balanced by a twisted, precise elegance that simmers and slithers underneath.
Characterized by the unorthodox use of electric stringed instruments, live loop manipulation, and textural rhythmic washes, Erin Murphy (guitar, violin, vocals) and Greg Bortnichak (cello, programming, vocals) have been building a reputation for relentless touring and merciless live performances.
In June of 2015, Teach Me Equals teamed with the SHMIB Modern Dance Collective to create a live experience of Knives In The Hope Chest, choreographed for twenty-three dancers. Staged at Chicago’s Links Hall, the series of performances sold out. Later that year, the group appeared on the cassette compilation PNMV#4, celebrating the relaunch of Pacific Northwest indie label, Punk In My Vitamins.
In December 2016, they released a split 45 alongside Vern Rumsey (Unwound, Blonde Redhead) titled RedRumsey / Teach Me Equals on Exotic Fever / Dischord, the proceeds of which went to benefit a domestic violence resource center in Philadelphia, PA.
In May 2018, the band released their second album, Fix History, on vinyl and digital platforms via Wild Klamath Records.

Suburban Chicago police commander charged with battery
Updated 11:48 am EST, Thursday, January 16, 2020
DIXMOOR, Ill. (AP) — Prosecutors have charged a suburban Chicago police commander with aggravated battery for allegedly dragging a 66-year-old grandmother into a police station and slamming her face into a wall.
Cook County prosecutors also charged Dixmoor Commander Ronald Burge Jr. with official misconduct Wednesday in connection with the October altercation with Carla Bourgouis.
Burge, 31, surrendered Wednesday after county investigators obtained a warrant for his arrest. He was ordered held on $20,000 bond.
Bourgouis said she went to the Dixmoor police station after her grandson was arrested. Burge arrested the boy's father when he refused to hand over a cellphone he was using to record their conversation. Bourgouis said she then also began recording, Burge demanded she give him her cellphone, and she began to leave the station.
Burge chased after Bourgouis. carried her back in, and “then purposefully slammed the victim's face into the back hallway wall on three separate occasions," Assistant State's Attorney Heather Weber said.
Dixmoor Police Chief Ronald Burge Sr., the commander's father, defended his son's actions, releasing video that shows Bourgouis breaching a secure area and then ignoring arrest orders. The chief said Bourgouis' actions forced officers to chase her down.
"She hit her head against the wall because they're trying to control her," he said.
All charges against Bourgouis were dropped by prosecutors.

Building Men Program aims to instill values in Syracuse boys
Syracuse school program instills values in boys
Former teacher Joe Horan started the school youth organization as a way to motivate boys transitioning into adulthood.
Story by Isaiah Freedman

Members of Syracuse's Building Men Program.
What today’s world considers manhood really irks Joe Horan.
“Society defines manhood that you have to be a good athlete, be successful with one or many women and have a lot of money,” Horan said.
As a physical education teacher in Syracuse city schools, Horan saw these kinds of expectations being placed on boys in the 1990s and early 2000s.
But rather than simply stew about, he created the Building Men Program, an organization that since 2006 has aimed to instill integrity, leadership skills and direction for boys as they transitioning into adulthood.
“I realized if somebody doesn’t teach them that manhood is something more than that, they’re all going to fall into the same problems trying to chase the money, the girls or sports,” Horan said
Courtesy of Building Young Men
When planning this recalibration of expectations and morals for males in society, Horan focused on the ground floor: middle school, an age where manhood is creeping around the corner and a time when good habits can still potentially be cultivated and developed.
The process of building boys into men is neither a grueling nor a simple one. It takes time, patience and understanding, Horan said.
He starts with simple, fun activities, such as basketball, soccer and baseball. Kids also play puzzle and board games and build contraptions that stimulate thoughtful thinking.
“They’re kids, they’ll do just about anything,” Horan quipped.
Then, come high school, the boys grow involved with community service, teaching them how to be quality citizens and reinforcing the values Horan finds important for boys to fully understand.
“Manhood to me is being able to have relationships, integrity and significance,” Horan said. “The bottom line is we want them to know they have a purpose and are valued.”
"Manhood to me is being able to have relationships, integrity and significance."
Joe Horan
The program is active in eight middle schools and five high schools in the Syracuse City Schools district where Horan has worked since 1993.
Horan, 56, said more than 200 students participated in the program during the 2018-19 school year and he expects participation to continue to grow.
The program has been invaluable for many participants whose testimonies paint a clear picture of the good Horan is doing.
“Building men has brought out a better character in me that I ever knew,” said Yasin Hassan. “It also made me more social, not just with people I know, but with the community.”
The program has empowered these boys to, quite literally, become men.
“[Building Men] has taught me how to carry myself as a man, how to give respect before earning it, and a strong sense of brotherhood,” said Cabdisalan Sheek Nuur, who has been in the program for the past five years.
There have been so many stories through the years that Horan has lost track, but one memory has stuck with him forever. A few years back, Building Men had two community service functions in one day: one on Syracuse’s east side and one on the southside. Two members who live on the east side missed the occasion, so they bussed all the way to the southside to make up for it.
Going to an entirely different part of town, not knowing anyone yet still wanting to go because of the program, had Horan emotional.
“I thought that was so cool that they went and hung out with guys they didn’t know, just to be part of it and they felt safe doing it because they knew they were going to the Building Men Program,” Horan said. “Having that kind of unity is awesome.”

Orville and Wilbur: Men of the Mind
Daniel Wahl December 17, 2011
Orville Wright once said that he and his brother Wilbur “were lucky enough to grow up in an environment where there was always much encouragement to children to pursue intellectual interests; to investigate whatever aroused curiosity.”
On this day, in 1903, about four miles south of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, Orville got an answer to the question he often pondered: “If birds can glide for long periods of time, then . . . why can’t I?”
He could. But only after trying one design after another, gathering data from many experiments with his and his brother’s homemade wind tunnel, observing how birds fly, and adapting that to their own flyer and its ever-improving system of controls.
Orville’s first flight on this historic day was 120 feet; the second, 175; and the third, 200. The fourth flight that day, by Wilbur, was 852 feet. Two years later, after many iterations, Wilbur flew for 39 minutes, covering 24 miles.
For centuries, men had said that human flight was impossible. But these two brothers proved otherwise, thanks to their questioning, experimenting, and reasoning minds.

Five Questions for Ishion Hutchinson
By Jake Orbison
Ishion Hutchinson.
Ishion Hutchinson’s poem “The Difference” appears in our Summer issue. Hutchinson, who was born in Port Antonio, Jamaica, teaches at Cornell University.
In “The Difference,” the speaker bridges a divide between the reader and the “they,” the poem’s unspecified subjects. Can you talk a little about the genesis of the poem? Do you often see the role of a speaker as a kind of mediator?
The poem’s opening contains its genesis. I overheard two men, it could have been more, talking one early winter morning in a café. Their words weren’t clear but, to my ears, there was a doomsday tone about them, very grave. I had been reading Halldór Laxness’s great novel, Independent People, too, a very masculine book, full of scenes of men gathering in winter to talk iron, as it were, and I think that permeated the poem. I do not see the role of a speaker as a kind of mediator at all, perhaps only to the extent that the speaker is listening to voices, yes, but the speaker’s motive is to speak for and to himself.
You’ve said in an interview that “once you are a part of a landscape, it enters your body and you gain a precision of language that is almost geological.” Can you elaborate on that? Do you think it applies to poets outside of natural landscapes, too—in cities, say?
I mean it in the sense that to a poet nothing about the landscape is inanimate; the poet is able to feel, like Merrill says in a poem, “a stone heart quicken.” I should have said, “you gain a precision of language that is pagan,” right, because what matters most in the poet’s language is an intuitive passion, which can be very imprecise, for a subject. That precision, or the imprecision that you could call grace of accuracy (pax Lowell), of language is alive to a poet wherever she is from. Cities are inside natural landscapes anyway, they grow out of the earth like anything else, and so what is affected—more than the diction itself—is the pitch of a poet’s language.
Don DeLillo speculated in his Paris Review interview that he had such little interest in storytelling because he did not read as a child. You, on the other hand, use narrative techniques at a time when few poets are doing so. What do you think draws you to storytelling?
Circumstances of my birth. Seriously. Like DeLillo, I did not read a lot as a child because books were not readily available—neither was television, nor other forms of entertainment. The natural substitute was storytelling, all very marvelous and pervasive—endless nights of it from adults. Then as kids we made up our own stories in primary schools. I had a good childhood friend, Christopher, who illustrated fables I used to write in what we called exercise books. Childhood, I guess, then, is the first thing which draws me to storytelling. But I am glad you used the phrase “narrative techniques,” for I am not telling a story, in the chief sense of the word, when making a poem. My concern then is with the integrity of the language, its music and shape in relationship to the images and credible feelings that cannot be left out.
You’ve said that you and other Caribbean poets must “reimagine home” through a number of other landscapes. Do you find that specific things tend to get lost or maintained?
For me, the situation is like paradise regained. Contrary to anything getting lost, I am discovering more and more how much of home is inside me, to the point that there is, if you will, a kind of Housman effect, “I see it shining plain,” very weepy and nostalgic. But I am grateful to have such an immense clarity about such a complex, frustrating place.
In an interview for the Virginia Quarterly Review, you asked Derek Walcott, “What would you regard as your greatest strength as a poet?” That was a hard question—he said at first he couldn’t tell. Do you have an answer yourself?
Derek did answer eventually, and his response is spectacular, he said “I think there are lots of times when I have maybe caught the light in certain passages … the Caribbean light at sunrise and sunset.” My answer is, I would hope, in my own way, I have honored the same light.

Tahiti 80 to Tour US in March, Get Remixed by Jimmy Edgar
French sextet Tahiti 80 are gearing up to release their new full-length, The Past, The Present & The Possible, but first the ever-prolific group will drop the Darlin EP on January 31st (both will be released on their own label, Human Sounds). The band is offering one of the EP’s track for free, a banging remix of “Darlin” by Detroit-based producer Jimmy Edgar, who has released music on Warp Records and K7 Records. You can also catch them on the road on a brief US tour this March, when the band hits Chicago, New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
Tahiti 80 whip up a danceable mix of live instrumentation and electronic sounds filled with breezy melodies and intoxicating grooves. The band’s debut album, Puzzle, was released by Minty Fresh in the U.S. in 1999, and was critically acclaimed as a refreshingly upbeat nod to late 60s West Coast pop (particularly the Beach Boys). The album also placed Tahiti 80 squarely in the center of the “French Pop Invasion” that was hitting the U.S., along with fellow French bands Phoenix and Air (most notably). The band has been relentlessly productive ever since, having released an astounding ten EP’s and The Past, The Present & The Possiblemarking their sixth full-length album.
Xavier Boyer, lead singer and guitarist for Tahiti 80, will be on the The Untz Podcast next week.
Darlin-Jimmy Edgar Remix
US Tour Dates:

‘Suicide Squad’ Mid-Credits Scene: The Implications of Amanda Waller’s Big Meeting
The future of the Suicide Squad is uncertain after Waller has dinner with a ‘certain powerful individual’
Phil Owen | August 5, 2016 @ 5:57 PM Last Updated: August 5, 2016 @ 7:32 PM
Amanda Waller Deathstroke The Batman
(Major spoilers for “Suicide Squad” below. So, watch out if you’re worried about such things.)
By any reasonable standard, Amanda Waller’s Task Force X (aka the Suicide Squad) was a complete disaster. Yeah, I mean they kinda saved the day, but also the thread they saved that day from was a person that was supposed to be in the Suicide Squad until she went rogue and tried to kill every person on Earth.
Oh, and everybody in a major American City got turned into a faceless goo monster.
Anyway, at the end of “Suicide Squad,” it’s a bad time to be Amanda Waller and she knows it. Fortunately for her, Task Force X was a black ops program, and pretty much all the witnesses of the crazy stuff that went down in Midway City either got turned into monsters, was a member of the Suicide Squad, or was one of the soldiers backing up the Suicide Squad.

So the cause of the incident remains under wraps for now, but Waller is worried everything will come to light and she’ll end up in Belle Reve alongside her squad of felons.
And so she asks Bruce Wayne for help, and he tells her that she will be under his protection. What that means, exactly, is unclear — but it’s likely that she’s looking for the kind of protection the head of a multi-billion-dollar megacorporation with tons of government military contracts can provide, rather than the kind a bat-masked vigilante would give. It doesn’t seem as though she knows that Bruce Wayne is Batman, in any case.
In exchange for that protection, Waller gives Bruce a big file containing info on metahumans: with pages on June Moone/Enchantress, the Flash and Aquaman shown as he briefly flips through the packet.

Waller wants to know what he’s going to do with it. Bruce says he wants to make some new friends, and Waller replies that “making friends” is just another way to say “gaining leverage.”
The subtext there is one of ideological divide: Waller’s Suicide Squad is the same general idea as the Justice League that Batman is forming, but one is cynical and essentially destructive while the other is hopeful. And as he leaves, Bruce drives the point home on that difference, telling Waller to shut down the Suicide Squad or he and his friends (aka the Justice League) will do it for her.
That said: with a cast like the one that’s been put together for “Suicide Squad,” it’s not super likely they’re going away forever. So Waller probably will shut it down, but keep it in her back pocket for a rainy day.
In the meantime, we’ve got an uneasy alliance between Batman and Amanda Waller — in which Batman, of course, has all the leverage. How he ends up using that leverage will be the other interesting thing to see play out.
18 'Suicide Squad' Characters Ranked, Worst to Best (Photos)
"Suicide Squad" is technically a movie about bad guys, but they can't all be bad, right? Click through to find out! (Spoilers ahead.)
Warner Bros/DC Comics
18. Griggs
Abuses prisoners at Belle Reve, collaborates with the Joker, never gets any kind of comeuppance. I guess this ranking will have to do.
17. Incubus
What was this CGI monstrosity? He looks like a cast-off from “Gods of Egypt.”
16. Batman
Remember that time he punched Harley Quinn in the face underwater and all the dudes in the theater laughed? Not a great moment for humanity there. And yet it's nearly Batman's entire involvement in this movie.
When he randomly showed up in the movie as a member of the Suicide Squad without ever being mentioned before, my friend leaned over and was like, “Who is that?” And that about sums up Slipknot, since he got his head blown off like 45 seconds later.
14. Rick Flag
Had two Gs in his name in the comics, yet they removed one of them here? Also he's one-note and boring. That probably matters more.
13. Enchantress
This 6,000-year-old magic lady who builds a magic hole in the sky that can apparently knock over aircraft carriers thousands of miles away had to ask someone how to destroy the human armies.
12. June Moone
I guess she's better than Enchantress by default, by virtue of simply of being the tangible human half of that CGI horror.
11. Jonny Frost
A Joker henchman who makes absolutely zero impression. Pretty hard to pull off!
10. Monster T
Hey remember that time Common got cast in a franchise comic-book movie as a known comic book character only to get murdered in his first scene? Yeesh. This character was wasted so badly I didn't even have a picture of him to use for this slide.
9. Lieutenant GQ Edwards
This dude, played by Scott Eastwood, was treated in pre-release as a mystery character who either had a secret identity or would become a famous comic book dude. And then he spent the end movie hovering in the background before blowing himself up. All right.
8. The Joker
Compared with most of the other nonsense in the movie, Jared Leto's Joker is inoffensive and sparingly used enough to make it in the upper half of the rankings.
7. Harley Quinn
Has characteristics and established personal motivations, making her an instant standout in "Suicide Squad." Except it's all ruined when it's revealed that all she, the Joker's girlfriend, really wants is an upper-middle-class lifestyle with a husband who wears a suit to work.
6. Katana
Really loves her husband, who lives in her soul-stealing sword. They should do a movie about her trying to figure out how to get him out of there.
5. Amanda Waller
There's a part where she randomly murders a bunch of FBI agents who work for her and it was a pretty awesome moment, even if it doesn't make any sense.
4. Deadshot
Does the most killing of any of them, so that's cool. Is played by Will Smith, so that's even cooler. Hates Batman, so he's basically my best friend.
3. Killer Croc
Nobody ever says what it was he did to get locked in a blacksite prison forever. I assume it was just racism.
2. Captain Boomerang
This dude I identify with strongly: he's got bad facial hair, is constantly drinking beer and is woefully unqualified for battling magic monsters. Though he doesn't really contribute at all, he's my favorite of the bunch.
1. El Diablo
I like his tattoos and also his ability to set a million people on fire at once. I also identify strongly with his desire to not kill a million people at once -- which, in the context of this movie, makes him easily the best.

Humor at its Best – A Comprehensive Compilation of Trump Jokes (Part I)
This is a compilation of all Trump jokes – jokes from various sources – read on – it may turn out to be the funniest read of your life.
ShareTweetSubscribePinterest
I have made an attempt to provide the readers with an all-inclusive collection of Trump jokes floating around since his campaigning days compiled from various sources. This is just the first part as jokes will continue to flow as long as Trump is around – maybe even after he’s gone.
And yes, another reason we are doing this in parts is, it will be too much for you all in one go – excessive laughter can be painful, you know!
The idea behind this is to give a comprehensive collection in a single read rather than website-hopping, if you will, to find them. It is, however, the readers’ prerogative to classify them as they please – good, in bad taste, offensive, profane, hilarious, racist, or whatever.
Here they are along with source and credits:
“Donald Trump has canceled a planned trip to Israel. When asked why, Trump said, ‘They already have a wall and a fear of Muslims. My work there is done.’”—Conan O’Brien, Television talk show host, comedian, and writer…
“A new study claims the stress of being president takes three years off your life. So suddenly everyone is thinking of voting for Trump.”—Conan O’Brien, Television talk show host, comedian, and writer…
“Donald Trump is here tonight. Now I know that he’s taken some flak lately. But no one is happier—no one is prouder—to put this birth certificate matter to rest than The Donald. And that’s because he can finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter: Like, did we fake the moon landing? What really happened in Roswell? And where are Biggie and Tupac?”—Barack Obama, U.S. President
“Now Donald said he wants to run for President and move on into the White House. Why not? It wouldn’t be the first time he pushed a black family out of their home.”–Snoop Dogg, writer, singer, actor…
“Donald Trump has come out in favor of shutting down Planned Parenthood. However, experts say, if he really wants Planned Parenthood to go under he should turn it into a Trump property.”– Conan O”Brien, Television talk show host, comedian, and writer
“He was even forced into the ultimate act of degradation— starring in his own reality show. And soon the top-rated TV show in the nation starred a total asshole torturing people who were stupid enough to work with him.”–Seth McFarlane, writer, animator, T.V. producer…
“Say what you will about Trump, he is not stupid. He is a smart man with a deep understanding of what stupid people want.”―Andy Borowitz, American writer, comedian, satirist, actor…
“Americans have been mishearing The Donald: what he actually said is that he will make America grate again, after which many of them will migrate again.”―Michael R. Burch, poet, poetry editor, columnist, essayist…
“A protester had to be escorted out of a Donald Trump rally last night for yelling, ‘Trump’s a racist.’ The protester was removed because the Trump campaign has that phrase copyrighted.”—Seth Meyers, talk-show host, screenwriter, actor, comedian…
“The Trump virus’s primary effect is twofold: First, it implants in its hosts the unshakable conviction that one of the most execrable clowns in the history of these United States is a hero who deserves to be elevated to the White House; then, having inculcated the conceit, it removes the faculties that are necessary for its removal.”—Charles Cooke, the editor of National Review Online, a co-host of the Mad Dogs and Englishmen podcast.
Donald Trump is giving narcissism a bad name.―Madeline Begun Kane
aka Mad Kane, humorist, political satirist…
Donald Trump likes to say he’s a friend to “the blacks.” Unless the Blacks are a family of white people, I’m guessing he’s mistaken.―Seth Meyers, talk-show host, screenwriter, actor, comedian…
What is Donald Trump telling Independents? Orange Is The New Black – Source: http://www.jokes4us.com/celebrityjokes/donaldtrumpjokes.html
“After he won yesterday’s Nevada caucus, Donald Trump said, ‘I love the poorly educated.’ Trump then said, ‘And when I’m president there’ll be more of them than ever.’” —Conan O’Brien, Television talk show host, comedian, and writer
“Donald, I’m not sure if you’re even aware of this, but the only difference between you and Michael Douglas from the movie, Wall Street, is that no one’s going to be sad when you get cancer.”—Anthony Jeselnik, comedian, producer, writer, actor…
“Teddy Roosevelt spoke softly and carried a big stick; Donald Trump speaks loudly and carries a big shtick.”―Michael R. Burch, poet, poetry editor, columnist, essayist…
“Donald Trump likes to sue people. He should sue whoever did that to his face.”—Marco Rubio, politician, attorney…
Why does The Donald take Zanax? For Hispanics attacks. Source: http://www.fullredneck.com/funny-donald-trump-jokes/
What’s the difference between God and Donald Trump? God doesn’t he’s Donald Trump. Source: http://www.fullredneck.com/funny-donald-trump-jokes/
“It’s safe to say everything Trump touches turns to gold. Especially the Miss Teen U.S.A. contestants he pees on.”—Seth McFarlane, writer, animator, T.V. producer…
“That’s what he’s best at. Putting a bow on a turd, marking up the price, and selling it so hard, you want it—even though you know it’s just a turd with a bow on it. America is that turd!”—Lewis Black, standup comedian, author, playwright, social critic…
Why is Donald Trump always seen with Melania? Because all his other wives support Hillary. Source:http://www.jokes4us.com/celebrityjokes/donaldtrumpjokes.html
“Tonight, we honor a self-made millionaire. He started with nothing, worked hard, and made a fortune. That man is Fred Trump, Donald’s dad.”–Seth McFarlane, writer, animator, T.V. producer…
“Despite Donald Trump’s tough stance on immigration, Trump Modeling Agency is being accused of hiring lower-paid foreign models. In his defense, Trump says those aren’t laborers, those are ‘future wives.’”—Conan O’Brien, Television talk show host, comedian, and writer…
“Donald Trump said yesterday that if he’s elected, he would ‘probably not talk as much.’ That’s right, if Donald Trump is elected, even HE will be speechless.”—Seth Meyers, talk-show host, screenwriter, actor, comedian…
“Hillary Clinton said she went to Donald Trump’s wedding but didn’t give him a gift. Trump said, ‘Just for that, you’re not coming to my next three weddings.’”—Conan O’Brien, Television talk show host, comedian, and writer

Taormina Mare
Taormina Mare Holidays
Holidays to Taormina Mare showcase designer shops, Sicilian cuisine and an impressive amphitheatre – not to mention a rather famous volcano.
A Sicilian favourite
Taormina Mare, on Sicily’s east coast, is the name given to the bays below Taormina’s clifftop town centre – a two-minute cable car ride away. Down by the sea you’ll find sand and pebble beaches, backed by promenades that are dotted with bars and restaurants. Then, up above, you’ve got a Roman-Greek amphitheatre in the same breath as high-end shopping streets, like Corso Umberto I. Mount Etna bubbles away in the background all the while.
Isola Bella Bay
Isola Bella Bay is Taormina Mare’s main beach – it’s a pebbly patch made up of a pair of teardrop coves with glass-clear waters. The two are split by Isola Bella Island, a narrow spit where you’ll find exotic plants and seabirds like kingfishers and herons. A 10-minute walk away is Mazzaro Beach, a pebble-and-sand stretch with sunloungers and umbrellas for hire, plus beachside lidos for children.
Cafés and culture
The Roman-Greek amphitheatre in Taormina was built in the 3rd century BC, with the sea and Mount Etna stepping in to provide the natural backdrop. A short stroll away, the Porta di Mezzo clocktower signals the start of the Medieval Quarter, a maze of narrow streets filled with souvenir and craft shops. Then there’s Corso Umberto I, where the locals come to shop, socialise and drink cappuccinos.
Daytrips to Messina and Catania
A half-hour drive north gets you to the pretty town of Messina, home to a Norman cathedral that contains the remains of Conrad IV – ruler of Sicily in the 13th century. Catania, 40 minutes to the south, is famed for its theatrical Baroque architecture, and double the distance away is the ancient Greek city of Syracuse, where the Teatro Greco amphitheatre’s a must-see.

Isola Bella Bay is Taormina Mare's main beach. It's made up of pebbles and has public and lido areas as well as a picturesque island in the middle. Beaches like Spisone, Mazzaro, Capo Sant'Andrea and Capo Taormina boast vast inlets and curves which model the coast and follow one another. Rock, gravel and sand are framed by Mediterranean vegetation and surrounded by an azure sea.

NIE Report Contradicts White House ‘World War III’ Iran Rhetoric
December 4, 2007 by Andy Towle
A recently released intelligent assessment on Iran’s nuclear weapons program concludes that it was halted in 2003, the New York Times reports:
“The conclusions of the new assessment are likely to reshape the final year of the Bush administration, which has made halting Iran’s nuclear program a cornerstone of its foreign policy. The assessment, a National Intelligence Estimate that represents the consensus view of all 16 American spy agencies, states that Tehran is likely keeping its options open with respect to building a weapon, but that intelligence agencies ‘do not know whether it currently intends to develop nuclear weapons.'”
The video above, via AmericaBlog, shows Bush warning the media about the prospects of World War III should Iran acquire the ability to develop nuclear weapons. Problem is, that press conference was held months after Bush had already been told of the NIE report referenced above.
Here are a few responses from Democratic leaders.
Today at a press conference, Bush backtracked on the World War III comments, saying “nobody ever told me” to back down with the rhetoric, and denied that he had details of the report.
Said Bush: “I was made aware of the NIE last week. In August, I think it was John — Mike McConnell came in and said, We have some new information. He didn’t tell me what the information was. He did tell me it was going to take a while to analyze.”
Writes Think Progress: “Yesterday, National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley said, ‘when the President was told that we had some additional information, he was basically told: stand down; needs to be evaluated; we’ll come to you and tell you what we think it means.’ Later in the briefing, Hadley reversed course and said, ‘In terms of stand down, they did not tell the President to stand down and stop talking about Iran’s nuclear program.’ White House officials are obfuscating on what they knew and when they knew it because the answer has the potential of further damaging the credibility of what they have asserted about Iran in the past few months.”
Bush said there would be no change in the U.S. policy toward Iran as a result of the report.

Free Saturday night Concert with Mipso
Chapel Hill’s indie Americana quartet Mipso – Jacob Sharp (mandolin, vocals), Wood Robinson (bass, vocals), Joseph Terrell (guitar, vocals), and Libby Rodenbough (fiddle, vocals) – release their fifth album, Edges Run, on April 6th, 2018 via a newly inked record deal with AntiFragile Music. Influenced by the contradiction of its progressive home and the surrounding rural southern landscapes, Mipso has been hailed as “hewing surprisingly close to gospel and folk while still sounding modern and secular” (Acoustic Guitar) and was recently recognized by Rolling Stone as an “ Artist You Need to Know.” The band brings a distinctly unique sound – full of wistful beauty, hopeful undercurrents, and panoramic soundscapes. Venturing ever-further from its string-band pedigree to discover a broader Americana where classic folk-rock and modern alt-country sounds mingle easily with Appalachian tradition, Mipso’s music is lush and forward moving, with lyrics that sear and salve in turn. Look for Mipso on tour this spring in support of their new release, Edges Run.

Similarly to the coffee bean, the term “carafe“ comes from the Arab world. This vessel made of polished glass, known in the Arabic language as “ġarrāfa”, was originally used for decanting wine. It was not until glass makers perfected the art of crystal glass making in the 19th century, that the carafe also became of interest for serving water.
Classic shapes for easy filling
The skilful workmanship of Villeroy & Boch's water carafes bestows them with certain characteristics that ensure the quality of the vessel. For example, the carafe's spouts and outlets have been designed to make serving problem-free and to avoid that last drop of water running down the outside. The fact that the magical design not only sets attractive accents on the table, but is also useful, is demonstrated by the wide openings of the glass carafes. They make filling the carafe easier, and the harmoniously rounded handles fitted on the glass belly of the carafes make pouring easier. Due to the carafe's puristic design, the focus lies on the clear water which runs straight down into the glass.
Glass or porcelain?
The water carafes from Villeroy & Boch are made from two different materials. Glass carafes are typically used to stylishly serve the natural elixir of life. The high quality of the glass series from the traditional company is also demonstrated in the carefully manufactured glass jugs for which only the best raw materials are used. However, the jugs made of high-class premium porcelain are also convincing with their charming elegance which could hardly be better suited as a basis for the gracefully flowing water. Whether the water carafe is made of glass or porcelain: Villeroy & Boch's vessels are made of high-quality materials which not only have an exclusive exterior appearance but also guarantee a long service life.
Suitable for universal use
Of course, thanks to their beautifully shaped designs, water carafes with their large capacity of 1.5 litres can also function as milk or juice jugs. With their cork seal, the porcelain vessels are particularly suitable for vinegar and oil or aromatic cider. The carafes can also be used as decorative vases due to the simple transparency of the glass. The glass particularly comes into its own when filled with sweet smelling lilies in pastel shades or colourful gerbera. Through its simplicity, the delicate material also harmonises perfectly with our white cutlery sets made of porcelain. Round off the table setting at your next dinner party with a water carafe from Villeroy & Boch and show off your good taste.

May 2nd Reagan Library Debate Postponed to September 7th
The first schedule Republican debate set for May 2nd, 2011 has been postponed until September. The debate organizes have cited a lack of interest by potential participants as the reason for the postponement.
This debate has been reschedule for September 7th, 2011.
Report from Politico:
The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation announced Tuesday that the Republican presidential debate it is cosponsoring with POLITICO and MSNBC will move up one week to September 7.
This will make the event at Reagan’s presidential library in Simi Valley, Calif., the first debate after Labor Day, when the primary campaign traditionally shifts into full swing.
In March, the foundation postponed this debate from May 2 to September 14 because of the slow start of the presidential campaign. The shift from Sept. 14 to Sept. 7 was made to accommodate campaign schedules.
“This new date works better for the campaigns, and positions the Reagan Library debate as the first stop post-Labor Day when campaigns are in full swing and voter interest is high,” John Heubusch, executive director for the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation, said in a statement.
The debate will be moderated by NBC’s Brian Williams and POLITICO Editor-in-Chief John F. Harris, as previously announced. A Telemundo reporter will also ask questions.
This means the first official debate is now scheduled to happen on May 5th, 2011 hosted by Fox News and the South Carolina Republican Party. However, the May 5th event is dubbed as a “forum” rather than a debate.
See the full schedule on our 2012 Debate Schedule page.

I wish someone would ask Perry and Backmann regarding global warming “what if you are dead wrong about global warming considering the vast amount of scientists believe in global warming. What are the deadly consequences to our planet earth and all its creatures. “
Nate August 18, 2011 at 3:13 pm
Beebee,
Why don’t you ask Al Gore why he still flies charter jets, has a massive home and drives fleets of vehicles when he claims we’re headed for total and utter climate disaster? Did you ever consider that?
Maybe you should be asking yourself what if Perry and Bachmann are dead right?
dave September 5, 2011 at 11:42 am
there is an enormous amount of data demonstrating that global warming is happening. the “belief” debate is if humans are accelerating the process or not – a debate that is pointless in light of the consequences of the fact it is happening.
Richard Johns August 18, 2011 at 3:27 pm
The debate was postponed because the only candidate with a chance to win showing up was Ron Paul. I’m sure the less exposure the better for Romney, Bachmann, Perry, the front runner / tea party candidates…..
orgive me but if I remember correct, Dr. Paul launched a revolution march on washington which I would call the birth of the tea party.
Ron Paul did not spawn the Tea Party though people keep trying to attribute it to him.
More accurately credited could be CNBC correspondent Rick Santelli for bringing the sentiment to the national stage and essentially spawning the first “Tax Day Tea Party” in 2009.
Kim September 7, 2011 at 8:01 pm
Why are these debates being held on MSNBC, CNN, Fox News…I had to cut out on frivolous items like satellite and no longer get these networks. I know many people who have had to make similar cuts – how can we little people get to know these candidates if the debates aren’t carried on regular channels? I’m in a library to use the internet and can’t stream a replay. I don’t like relying on “journalistic” analysis of the debate, I want to draw my own conclusions. If the government were truly for, by and of the people…all the debates would be made available to all of us.

“Silver” Linings and Thunder Clouds for Trump
Nate Silver, at FiveThirtyEight, has been seen as the “guru” of political and sports analysis since 2008, so when he speaks, he’s like EF Hutton. (Now I have to explain that to the kids. Back in the 1970s, there was a great ad campaign in which everybody stops what they’re doing to hear what this stock broker says.) There’s a whole series of the commercials on YouTube, for old folks nostalgia and for the kids’ education.
Anyway. . .Here’s a condensation of what Silver has to say about where we stand in the election.
1. Who’s ahead in the polls right now? Hillary Clinton has a significant lead, although there’s some question about the margin. . .
2. What’s the degree of uncertainty?. . . The most important factors in that calculation are the number of days until the election and the number of undecided and third-party voters. . . our models show both a better chance of a Trump victory than most of our competitors and a better chance of Clinton winning states like Texas. . .
3. What’s the medium-term trend in the polls?. . . After polls in mid-September showed a very close race, with Trump trailing Clinton by only 1 to 2 percentage points nationally and almost catching up to her in the Electoral College, Clinton began to pull away. . .
4. What’s the short-term trend in the polls?. . . There almost certainly hasn’t been a shift back toward Trump, but it’s hard to tell whether Clinton’s lead has stabilized or if she’s continuing to gain ground. . .
5. Which states shape up as most important?. . . Florida stands out according to our tipping-point index because winning it would all but clinch the election for Clinton. Without Florida or North Carolina in her column, conversely, Clinton would have to retreat to her “firewall” states, of which Pennsylvania, Colorado and New Hampshire are probably the most vulnerable. . .
6. Does one candidate appear to have an overall edge in the Electoral College, relative to his or her position in the popular vote? . . . a split between the Electoral College and the popular vote. . .would be more likely to favor Trump than Clinton, according to our forecast. That’s partly because Clinton has more to lose. . .
7. How do the “fundamentals” look?. . . The economy remains “meh” — that’s a technical term — with solid jobs reports but mixed figures otherwise. . .But as Trump runs an increasingly abnormal campaign. . . it’s becoming less likely that he can benefit from those relatively favorable conditions as a conventional Republican might. . .
8. How do FiveThirtyEight’s forecasts compare against prediction markets?. . . Prediction markets put Trump’s chances at 15 percent, right in line with FiveThirtyEight’s forecasts.
9. What would keep me up late at night if I were Clinton?. . . I’d worry about what might happen if Trump was on a rising trajectory as Nov. 8 approaches, having cut my lead down to 3 or 4 percentage points, and then there was a more modest polling error on the order of what we saw in advance of Brexit, where the final polls were off by about 4 points. . .
10. What would keep me up late at night if I were Trump?. . . the Trump campaign was never really set up to have a strong finishing kick. Trump has considerably less cash on hand than Clinton; he also has a much inferior ground game and is burning bridges with Republicans who could help him. . .
Silver bases his predictions by analyzing the reliability of the polls, then weighting them, and averaging them, giving more emphasis to the proven polls. He also has a “polls-plus” analysis, which brings in additional factors, such as number seven in the list above—how the economy is doing. Another is the popularity of the current president.
His analysis leans toward a Hillary win, but he notes that (a) there is still time left for a surprise, (b) there are an unusually high number of undecided voters, and (c) you never know what Trump may do next. So every time he says Hillary is ahead, it’s always followed by a “but.”
Those are the major candidates. Many of the “undecided” voters are going for third-party options. But Libertarian candidate Johnson and Green candidate Stein are fading. While there was once hope that Johnson would reach the 15% to qualify to be on the debate stage, his numbers are dropping below 7% now, and Stein is now falling under 2%.
However, there is a candidate who is surging: Independent Evan McMullin. HeatStreet notes that even Nate Silver is now taking him seriously—not to win 270 electoral votes, but rather, to win Utah, thereby making it possible to throw the election into the House of Representatives, where the Republican House would likely choose McMullin above Trump or Clinton.
Independent Presidential candidate Evan McMullin is having enough of an impact in Utah that Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight has added him to their polling schematic.
McMullin has risen to an astounding 19.6% in FiveThirtyEight‘s polling average for Utah giving him a chance — albeit a small one — at taking Utah’s six electoral votes. But it’s enough of a chance that he now must be shown in the breakdown. . .
But while McMullin may not be showing Trump and Clinton’s numbers, it’s the sharp increase in interest that’s spurned major polling organizations to suddenly count McMullin among potential Utah winners. McMullin has surged rapidly since the second Presidential debate, while Donald Trump has collapsed — and McMullin is still at only 52% name recognition in the state.
This may not be the only state McMullin’s team sees potential in. [After the second] debate, Google Trends reports that there has been a 2,800% increase in searches for “write-in candidate” using their search engine platform.
The HeatStreet article notes that FiveThirtyEight is even including McMullin in its analysis of Utah. Look at the chart below. Trump dropped from 50.8% to 38.3%, probably due to the 2005 “Access Hollywood” Trump tape, and probably due to Bill Clinton’s background, Hillary also dropped from 37% to 29.5%. In runs McMullen at 18.5% out of the gate.
Considering that only half of Utah’s voters are familiar with him—and that the sex scandals seem to be turning off the heavily Mormon electorate, it is not unreasonable to see McMullin win the state. Especially if favorite son, Mitt Romney, who can’t stand Trump, endorses McMullin—who is already using Romney’s mailing list.

Has anyone considered the fact that if McMullen were selected by the House rather than either Clinton or Trump what ramifications would it have on the next Congressional elections. There would be an awful lot of upset citizens.
Straight Shooter October 18, 2016 at 11:12 pm
Ever since McMullin came on the scene he has been nothing short of a joke. The guy may be Mormon however I seriously doubt that his religion is going to earn him a victory in Utah and it shouldn’t.
Voting for him because of religion is similar to blacks voting for O’Bugger because he is at least half black.
Trump for PRESIDENT 2016.?
Goethe October 18, 2016 at 11:30 pm
People vote on their beliefs–whether the belief is religion, economics, ethics, or whatever. In this case, Utah Mormons are not voting for McMullin because he’s Mormon. It’s more that Trump is so far from it. The big question is why Romney is not endorsing McMullin. It’s not like Mitt hasn’t shown how he feels.

not so "dirty" Sanchez

The retired Genralmente:laugh: stating a few points I agree with!
Sanchez, former U.S. commander in Iraq, calls war 'a nightmare with no end in sight'
By Jeff Schogol, Stars and Stripes
Mideast edition, Saturday, October 13, 2007
AP file photo
Lt. Gen. Ricardo S. Sanchez, V Corps Commanding General, at a welcoming ceremony for soldiers of the 1st Armored Division at their base in Wiesbaden, Germany, in October, 2004.
ARLINGTON, Va. – The former top commander of U.S. troops in Iraq slammed the handling of the war and gave a bleak assessment of the current situation in Iraq.
“There is no question that America is living a nightmare with no end in sight,” retired Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez told a convention of military journalists on Friday.
Sanchez commanded U.S. troops in Iraq from June 2003 to July 2004. His controversial tenure saw the capture of Saddam Hussein and the handover of sovereignty to the Iraqi government, but also the rise of the insurgency and the Abu Ghraib prison scandal.
While cleared of any wrongdoing, one report found that Sanchez and his deputy, "failed to ensure proper staff oversight of detention and interrogation operations."
Abu Ghraib was a sore subject Friday for Sanchez, who lambasted the media for using phrases like "dictatorial and somewhat dense," "liar" and "torturer" to describe him.
"I also refused to talk to the European Stars and Stripes for the last two years of my command in Germany, for their extreme bias and single-minded focus on Abu Ghraib," he said.
But Sanchez reserved most of his venom Friday for U.S. officials, saying the U.S. government still has not brought all the resources needed to win in Iraq.
“From a catastrophically flawed, unrealistically optimistic war plan, to the administration’s latest surge strategy, this administration has failed to employ and synchronize the political, economic and military power,” Sanchez said.
Continuing changes to military strategy alone will not achieve victory, rather it will only “stave off defeat,” he said.
“The administration, Congress and the entire inter-agency, especially the State Department, must shoulder the responsibility for this catastrophic failure and the American people must hold them accountable.”
Even now, the U.S. government has yet to launch a concerted effort to come up with a strategy to win in Iraq, Sanchez said. Such a strategy should involve political reconciliation among Iraqis, building up the Iraqi security forces and getting Iraq’s regional partners.
Sanchez acknowledged that U.S. officials have adopted that idea, but added that they do not have the necessary nonmilitary resources to carry it out.
“And it is not synchronized, and there is no enforcement of the strategy,” he said.
Sanchez said he realized there were serious challenges to the U.S. military’s strategy in Iraq as soon as he became the top military commander in Iraq.
Asked why he did not speak out about his concerns, Sanchez said general officers take an oath to carry out the orders of the president while in uniform.
“The last thing that America wants, the last thing that you want, is for currently serving general officers to stand up against our political leadership,” he said.
However, general officers do have the option of stepping down if they disagree with the country's leaders.
Sanchez said he felt he could not resign and go public with his reservations while he was in Iraq, because he feared that move could further jeopardize troops serving there.
“I think once you are retired, you have a responsibility to the nation, to your oath, to the country, to state your opinion,” he said.:hmmm:
http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/10/13/iraq.sanchez/index.html
I agree with every word, and I am glad he was the one to have said it.

This is the same LTG (Ret) Sanchez who shares responsibility in how the war was fought? He may make some good/valid points but his attempt to say everyone else around him was wrong and he always knew what needed to be done is laughable.
I have several friends who served under him and their assessment is always the same-- he's a pompous a$$.
The King puts the balls where the Queen wants them.
I'm pretty sure a lot of Generals are pompous. But seriously, one of the thoughts that I kept reading/hearing all through this mess is that the CIA and Military had to tell our illustrious triumverate what they wanted to hear and not necessarily like how it really was. Could be why all these retirees are now free to speak up.
Seek the truth. Only then will justice and mercy be yours. Do not make religion your trade nor piety a profession.

Well Fred, then he should also state that it was his personal decision to not provide candid advice/recommendations and because of that he helped perpetuate everything going wrong. To just sit back and say, "you're all screwed up and I knew it all along", is weak. As I said, he makes a lot of good points, but his hands aren't clean.
Let's not forget, this guy is pissed about not being promoted to 4-star.
96FXD said:
Yeah, that'd be the one. LOL! :roflback:
And doesn't the fourth star entitle one to 72 slutty eighteen year old girls in a Holiday Inn room.
Not in the article provided but he also stated, in his remarks, that one of the major reasons for failure in Iraq is the lack of America's moral courage. So I guess if you advocate a withdrawal, then he thinks you're also part of the problem.

When I first got over to Afghanistan I was a Fire Support Officer (FSO) at the division-level (being on a division staff sucks by the way). In addition to all of the air strikes we did, I also had to plan all of our electronic warfare activities- mostly with the EA-6B Prowler and EC-130. We had a retired Air Force Major who was "supposed" to be our Electrponic Warfare Officer (EWO)- he had been called back to active duty for a 120-day deployment to Afghanistan. Well his call sign was "Mars" and it was appropriate because he was out there-- way out there. But when I first met him I knew he had been out of the AF for a while because his name tag patch had an F-4 on it. I immediately recognized the aircraft and how long it had been since we used them so I asked, "Mars was the F-4 the first or last aircraft you were in". His response, "the last". Needless to say, my EWO learning curve was very, very steep.

Unless he was a Weasel back-seater, he probably wasn't really an EWO, but a WSO (weapon systems officer).

Yeah, I should have articulated that. He was holding the EWO billet, but was a WSO in his former life. Either way he had been out far too long to comprehend the battle command systems we use today. But I do know this, as an artilleryman, I clearly had no training in frequency management. I can target "stuff" all day but I was initially sucking wind trying to figure out all of the graduate level EWO things I needed to know/learn.

Ukraine Diplomat Bill Taylor Confirms “Crazy” Quid Pro Quo in Explosive Testimony
“Ambassador Sondland tried to explain to me that President Trump is a businessman,” Taylor testified. “When a businessman is about to sign a check to someone who owes him something, he said, the businessman asks that person to pay up before signing the check.”
By Alison Durkee
Bill Taylor, the top U.S. Diplomat to Ukraine, leaves Capitol Hill on October 22, 2019 in Washington, DC.By Alex Wroblewski/Getty Images.
The Trump administration's claim that President Donald Trump's pressure campaign on Ukraine to investigate Joe and Hunter Biden and the 2016 election did not amount to a quid pro quo has been unraveling for a while now. First there were the explosive text messages that mentioned “withhold[ing] security for help with a political campaign,” then came Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney's press conference, in which he suggested aid to Ukraine was suspended over Trump's desired investigations—and then shrugged it off and claimed the administration does similar things “all the time.” (Mulvaney later walked back his comments and blamed the press for “misconstruing” his remarks.) On Tuesday, the most damning evidence yet of a quid pro quo came courtesy of Bill Taylor, who serves as charge d'affaires at the U.S. embassy in Ukraine. In his damaging testimony to the House committees investigating impeachment, Taylor confirmed that he believed there to be a clear quid pro quo arrangement, in which the Trump administration withheld military aid to Ukraine—which had already been passed by Congress—unless Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky agreed to investigate the president's political rivals and say so publicly. Recounting one conversation, Taylor said that Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland had told Zelensky and assistant Adriy Yermak, “although this was not a quid pro quo, if President Zelenskyy did not ‘clear things up’ in public, we would be at a ‘stalemate.’” “I understood a ‘stalemate’ to mean that Ukraine would not receive the much-needed military assistance,” Taylor testified.
Taylor, a military veteran and career diplomat who previously served as ambassador to Ukraine under George W. Bush, walked lawmakers through his experience with the Trump administration in his Ukraine role, during which time he quickly realized there “appeared to be two channels of U.S. policy-making and implementation, one regular and one highly irregular.” The “irregular” one, being directed by Sondland, Energy Secretary Rick Perry, special envoy to Ukraine Kurt Volker, and Rudy Giuliani, was pushing the Ukrainian investigation into Trump's rivals, and, Taylor testified, “running contrary to the goals of longstanding U.S. policy” and “fundamentally undermin[ing]” the U.S.'s relationship with Ukraine as a result. While Taylor was not initially told about the reasoning behind the decision to withhold funding to Ukraine—and never received a readout of Trump's infamous July 25 call with Zelensky, a decision that the diplomat called “strange”—Taylor testified that he came to understand that the aid was being held up over the investigations. “Ambassador Sondland told Mr. Yermak that security assistance money would not come until President Zelenskyy committed to pursue the Burisma investigation,” Taylor testified, referring to the Ukrainian energy company on whose board Hunter Biden previously served.
The quid pro quo pressure on Ukraine appeared to come from Trump directly, according to Taylor's testimony. The diplomat testified to Congress that he had been told by National Security Council Ukraine specialist Tim Morrison that while the president said he “was not asking for a ‘quid pro quo’,” Trump “did insist that President Zelenskyy go to a microphone and say he is opening investigations of Biden and 2016 election interference, and that President Zelenskyy should want to do this himself.” “During our call on September 8, Ambassador Sondland tried to explain to me that President Trump is a businessman,” Taylor testified. “When a businessman is about to sign a check to someone who owes him something, he said, the businessman asks that person to pay up before signing the check.” (The diplomat added that he believed that argument “made no sense,” as “the Ukrainians did not ‘owe’ President Trump anything.”)
Taylor, who was a participant in the incriminating text messages Volker turned over to Congress, also gave more context to the now-public conversations. After Taylor texted, “Are we now saying that security assistance and WH meeting are conditioned on investigations?” and Sondland replied, “Call me,” Taylor testified that he had a phone conversation with Sondland, in which the ambassador outright confirmed a quid pro quo. “During that phone call, Ambassador Sondland told me that President Trump had told him that he wants President Zelenskyy to state publicly that Ukraine will investigate Burisma and alleged Ukrainian interference in the 2016 U.S. election,” Taylor testified. “Ambassador Sondland also told me that he now recognized that he had made a mistake by earlier telling the Ukrainian officials to whom he spoke that a White House meeting with President Zelensky was dependent on a public announcement of investigations—in fact, Ambassador Sondland said, ‘everything’ was dependent on such an announcement, including security assistance. Sondland, Taylor added, “said that President Trump wanted President Zelenskyy ‘in a public box’ by making a public statement about ordering such investigations.” Taylor continued to stand by his belief that the quid pro quo arrangement was “crazy,” as he had said in a text message to Sondland and Volker. “I said on September 9 in a message to Ambassador Gordon Sondland that withholding security assistance in exchange for help with a domestic political campaign in the United States would be ‘crazy,’” Taylor told lawmakers. “I believed that then, and I still believe that.”
The diplomat's opening statement Tuesday reportedly elicited “gasps” from the lawmakers who were present—“The body language of the people hearing it was, ‘holy s---,’” Rep. Harley Rouda told Politico—and Rep. Stephen Lynch told the outlet that the testimony was a “sea change” that potentially “could accelerate” the House's impeachment inquiry. “It was just the most damning testimony I’ve heard,” Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz told the Washington Post. “He drew a very specific direct line from President Trump to the withholding of foreign aid and the refusal of a meeting.”
The White House has shrugged off Taylor's statements, releasing a statement that calls the testimony “a coordinated smear campaign from far-left lawmakers and radical unelected bureaucrats waging war on the Constitution” and insists “there was no quid pro quo.” But while Politico notes the president's Republican allies so far appear to be standing behind Trump in the immediate aftermath of Taylor's nearly 10 hour long testimony, the respected diplomat's explicit description of a quid pro quo is going to make their desperate attempts to spin the Ukraine situation and defend the president even more difficult. Sondland, who received his ambassadorship after donating $1 million to Trump's inauguration, also now has a particularly difficult path forward, as Taylor's testimony seemingly contradicts the ambassador's recent claims to Congress that he didn't know whether there was a quid pro quo. “There were many things that Ambassador Sondland didn’t remember that Ambassador Taylor remembered in excruciating detail,” Wasserman Schultz told the Post. As a result, some lawmakers are now pushing for Sondland to return to Capitol Hill to testify once again—or potentially even face perjury charges, per CBS News journalist Olivia Gazis. “After today, Mr. Sondland is going to have some explaining to do,” Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi told Politico.

Overview and outlook
After a period of predominately negative news, the leaders and trade representatives of the US and China made some progress in the form of the phase one agreement. As the two economic powerhouses approach the final stages of negotiating parts of the phase one deal, many analysts believe that a more comprehensive trade deal may be required before a sustainable improvement in market sentiment can be observed.
The US House of Representatives has voted in favour of formally proceeding with the impeachment inquiry against President Trump. Although this does not necessarily increase the probability of Trump’s impeachment, it shifts the inquiry into a more public phase. Amidst these politically difficult times for Trump, he appears to be discrediting the allegations against him and creating noise via Twitter. As displayed in the graph to the right, the frequency of Trump’s tweets has been increasing sharply throughout 2019 and has peaked in October with 1,018 tweets, equating to 32.8 tweets per day.
Although the UK Parliament has shown to support the general principles of Prime Minister Johnson’s Brexit deal, the MPs chose to postpone a vote on the deal until legislation required to convert the withdraw
al agreement into UK law was completed. As a result, Boris Johnson was required to request an extension of

the exit date, which has since been pushed back to January 31. Meanwhile, the UK Parliament has announced that a general election will be held on December 12. The probable outcomes are that either Johnson’s Conservative Party is re-elected as the government and allowing Johnson to more easily pass the existing Brexit deal, or, the Labour/Liberal Democrats win the election and hold a new referendum on the matter. In either case, the risk of a no-deal Brexit appears to be low.
The ABS announced that Australia’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 0.5% over the September quarter, totalling to a 1.7% growth year on year. The largest price increases in the September quarter were international holiday, travel and accommodation (+6.1%), Tobacco (+3.4%), property rates and charges (+2.5%), and childcare (+2.5%). Some notable decreases in price include automotive fuel (-2.0%), fruit (-3.1%), vegetables (-2.5%). Despite the price falls for fruit and vegetables, it is important to note that the drought has caused a wider increase in food prices, especially for meat and seafood (+1.7%), dairy and related products (+2.2%), bread and cereal products (+1.3%).
Although the RBA inflation data did not justify an RBA cash rate cut in November, it remains subdued below RBA’s target band for inflation of 2-3% per annum. As a result, a range of analysts believe that a rate cut in December 2019 and early 2020 is still likely.

Share markets
Although global economic conditions appeared to improve slightly in October with the US-China trade deal making progress and a no-deal Brexit seeming less probable, the uncertainty of their outcomes limited the improvement of investor sentiment, with global markets growing slightly less than in September.
International shares were up 1.9% on a currency hedged basis in October. US shares outperformed the global shares index, growing by 2.0% whereas the European equities market lagged its global counterpart with an increase of 1.2%. Key contributors include German stocks (+3.5%) and UK equities (-1.9%) as the uncertainty around Brexit continues to loom. Japanese equities led the global market, gaining 5.4% to achieve its second consecutive month of above 5% growth. Emerging markets shares finished 2.0% up, with strong contributions from China (+2.7%) and India (+4.0%).
Australian equities lagged the global stock market in October, falling by 0.4%. The Australian market displayed mixed returns across both defensive and cyclical assets. Healthcare was the strongest performing sector, growing by 7.58%. Other notable performances include Industrials (+2.97%), Utilities (+1.39%) and A-REIT (+1.24%). The largest domestic underperforming sectors included IT (-3.94%), Financials (-2.82%) and consumer staples (-2.20%) as some consumer staples companies continued to be adversely impacted by the drought.
Some top performing stocks in the S&P/ASX100 in October included CYBG (+24.5%) which bounced back after dropping over 18% in September and Iluka Resources (+17.6%) which announced a review of its business structure. BlueScope Steel (+11.0%) appeared to benefit from slightly improved market sentiment after the easing of US-China trade tensions. The stock price of WiseTech (-24.6%) took a hit in October after questions on the quality of their reported earnings. Despite its considerably strong performance in September, Afterpay fell 19.5% in October as sector regulation risks were renewed. Northern Star (-10.6%) was one of many gold stocks that were adversely impacted as the All Ords Gold index fell by 6.68%.
Overall, Australian equity returns remain high despite the Westpac-MI Leading Index indicating an expected downturn in economic activity. October’s slight fall in domestic stocks may be an indicator of this activity beginning to impact the Australian share market.

Both Australian and international fixed interest investments fell slightly in October. Australian 10-year bond yields increased by 12 basis points to bring the yield to 1.23%. This resulted in the Australian fixed interest index falling by 0.5%.
Global fixed interest slightly outperformed its domestic counterpart, falling by 0.3% in October. Key contributors included the increase in the US 10-year bond yield which was up by 14 basis points to 1.69% and the UK 10-year bond yield which was up by 10 basis points to 7.28%.
Australian listed property grew by 1.4% in October, improving considerably on its negative growth in September. Despite its enhanced performance the domestic listed property market continued to lag its global counterpart which grew by 1.8%.

Veed.me Blog
Freelance Videographer
Veed.me is Joining Fiverr!
Yoav Hornung
All of us at Veed.me think good news should have the right company, and we can’t think of a better time to share some really big news.
We’re excited to announce that Veed.me has been acquired by Fiverr!
We’ve come a long way in the past 5 years, from our early steps as a landing page for creators looking for video gigs (just take a gander at some of these early forms), to building a two-sided marketplace of amazing clients looking to engage videographers from all over the world.
As filmmakers ourselves, our vision at Veed.me was always about providing as many videographers and animators out there a way to make a living doing what they love, while simultaneously helping companies find the talent they need.
And, we’ve enjoyed every millisecond of the journey.
But change is, as the cliche goes, inevitable. As we’ve been thinking about the future of our platform, we’ve also been trying to figure out what’s best for our community.
Fiverr is a company we’ve always looked up to. They were innovators in nailing the approach to connecting talent and those who need it through a slick product experience and the technology to drive massive demand for creative services all around the world. So, when Micha Kaufman, Fiverr’s co-founder and CEO, told us about Fiverr’s vision of high-end services across Fiverr’s marketplace, it was apparent that there was a huge opportunity to combine forces.
Fiverr is the leading marketplace for pretty much every digital service conceivable. It’s where nearly a million Gigs are ordered every month from world-class talent, and with new initiatives aimed at high-end customers and freelancers, it’s clearly an exciting time for Veed.me to be joining the Fiverr community.
Now, getting down to brass tacks, we’re happy to say the Veed.me journey will continue under the Fiverr umbrella. For the next few months, Veed.me will operate the same way you know it. And, both buyers and sellers, can count on us introducing you to more exciting opportunities through Fiverr as we look at the best way to merge our communities together.
No doubt it’s quite an exciting day for us at Veed.me, but trust us when we say it’s a meaningful day for you too – our customers and creators who gave us a chance at this point or another. We’re convinced that bringing our two like-minded communities and companies together will open up untold opportunities and outcomes, and we can’t wait to get to work for all of you.
Lastly, we want to extend a massive thank you to all of you. You’ve been the biggest part of this journey thus far, and you’ll continue to be the reason we keep moving ahead. We’re always here to listen and to help, so please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
Team Veed.me
Video & Animation Category Manager here at Fiverr. I’m responsible for making the category a professional and up to date service for both - Buyers and Sellers. Formerly Co-Founder & CEO at Veed.me, video production marketplace that was acquired by Fiverr.

Martin has been with the company since 1999 and has plenty of experience working within sales, product management and customer service. His most recent role was commercial director.
He said: “Over the years I’ve held a number of roles throughout the business, primarily sales orientated. Most recently as a commercial director my role was heavily biased towards products (existing and new), inventory control, supplier relations and marketing. I’m looking forward to getting involved in all areas of the business, learning new products, markets and industries and working closely with the senior management team to put initiatives and strategies in place that positions the business strongly in the market.”
He added: “I wouldn’t necessarily say it was an easy decision. However, having spent 20 years at Hawco, I felt like it was the right time in my career to take on new challenges and make the next step into this role. I’m so pleased that I have the opportunity to be able to do this within the Hawco Group.”
Joining Abbeychart (part of the Hawco Group) there’s a lot Martin would like to achieve. He said: ” I hope to be able to bring my experience and guidance that helps strengthen the Abbeychart offering, particularly from the assembly and refurbishment side of things. This is an area that Abbeychart have historically been incredibly successful in. I believe there’s a number of avenues where we can expand on this further.”
David Goode, CEO Control Sector from Diploma PLC, made the announcement to all Hawco employees. It was also announced that Mark Taylor (former managing director at Hawco) would be managing director of a new group being created within the controls sector of Diploma PLC.
“Mark joined Diploma in 2005 and has been the managing director of Hawco since 2013. I would like to thank Mark for the tremendous effort he has made during his time at Hawco, and he leaves behind a successful and profitable business.
“From everyone at Abbeychart, we wish both Martin Butler and Mark Taylor, the very best of luck in their new roles.”

PREVIEW / Second Hand: Frankie’s Revenge (PC)
When aliens invade the planet and build an unstoppable army of robots, the only logical way to fight back is with an even better robot; preferably with a disco ball head and a bat with a nail in it. This is the route humanity takes in Rikodu’s Second Hand: Frankie’s Revenge; an early access title that just released on Steam. A cartoonish 4 player co-op action battler that lets each player piece together their perfect fighting machine to take back the planet from the alien robot menace.
The biggest point that must be addressed, first and foremost, is the customization options which are broken down into 5 major areas: head, main weapon, off hand weapon, body, and wheels. Each piece of equipment also comes with several unlockable skins to finely tune the look of Frankie. Instead of a disco ball head, he can have a disco ball with an afro or a head. You can also use different skins to customize items in your base, which acts as a hub area to choose levels and loadouts. As far as I know the only purpose these base customization’s have right now is to flex on your friends in the local and online co-op.
These skins can be unlocked by buying them with in-game currency, which are bolts that enemies drop pretty frequently, or by opening toolboxes that are awarded upon leveling up Frankie. The toolbox is functionally a loot box that will award 1 skin for either the base customization or for a random part Frankie has in his arsenal. As far as I know, there are no ways to use real life money to unlock skins or loot boxes, so there’s no malicious gambling going on in Second Hand.
Despite customization being a major selling point of the game, I still felt a bit underwhelmed by the options offered. As of this look at the game, there are 4 different heads, 5 main weapons, 5 off hand weapons, 3 Body types, and 3 types of legs to be used by Frankie. The legs vary up Frankie’s walk speed, the body adjusts the balance of HP and energy reserves for special attacks. The main weapons range from a sword to a chainsaw for melee, and glue gun for slowing enemies and healing allies. Off hand weapons have more ranged ability or can stun enemies. Special attacks change with the headpiece Frankie wears, with the starting head being a disco ball that dazes enemies in range.
While on paper it may seem like a lot of options, there were several pieces that functioned very similarly. I was able to get a taste of each piece of equipment fairly quickly, as the gear unlocks at a steady pace. It’s worth noting that I was able to get a new piece of gear after each level completed and the game still has several blanked out sections. Meaning this is likely just a slice of content for the preview build, so I can’t knock it too hard for what it’s offering at the moment. Hopefully there are more options added, as of right now there are just enough pieces to make a rounded team with melee users, a ranged fighters, and healing specialists.
In this preview build I was given a look at 12 levels across 2 different campaigns as well as the boss fight for the first campaign.These levels often followed a similar pattern; go through a mostly linear path while fighting off randomly spawning enemy robots. Some levels would have Frankie escorting a payload that the player has to fuel up intermittently, some required Frankie to sabotage the enemy robot’s production machinery. Despite the overarching goal of the level, the majority of your time in Second Hand will be spent blasting robots with your preferred loadout.
The robot blasting is fun! Doubly so with friends by your side for support. Frankie moves very fluidly in a twin stick shooter style with a useful dash feature, making it easy to kite hordes of robots or to close the gap on an enemy showing an opening and then get out before they can retaliate. The enemy types are varied and keeps each engagement interesting. They’re also wonderfully designed in the same cartoony style as Frankie, making these fights visually appealing as well. One of the most interesting parts of the game was that at the end of each level you have to call in an evac and then get your jetpack to boost you out of the map while hordes of enemies chase you around. It’s hectic fun and makes every level a challenge from start to finish.
Having a partner or team really sets Second Hand apart from the crowd. By yourself Second Hand can get a touch monotonous by running through objectives, killing robots; rinse and repeat. However once you get a team you have more freedom to try different things. You can have your teammate heal, while another pushes the payload and you keep the enemy robots off their tail. The options of gameplay really open up a lot more once the team gets involved and this is something I’d like to see developed more in time. Maybe introduce more Frankie parts that work as a support tool and make strategizing more in depth.
Second Hand: Frankie’s Revenge is a hectic fun battler that is still in its infancy, but there are a lot of exciting places for the game to go as it traverses early access. The content available was a little on the shallow end for its first release, but the times I had while working through this portion of the game were filled with more good than bad. There were definitely moments I was left wanting more. Luckily Rikodu has dedicated to adding more parts and modes in the coming weeks as Second Hand goes through it’s first steps of early access. As it is now, the game is a stylishly cartoony way for you and some buddies to kill some hours and even more robots.
This preview is based on an early release copy of the game provided by the publisher.

Browns' Freddie Kitchens: Assume Super Bowl win is goal ... now, always
Steve Doerschuk CantonRep.com sports writer @sdoerschukREP
New Browns head coach wants his players treating each training camp day as if it was all that mattered.
BEREA Freddie Kitchens and John Dorsey are willing to say only so much about Browns training camp battles.
Someone asked the head coach what position groups really grab his attention.
"Deep snapper," he said, poker faced and laughing inside. "I hope we can get it back there."
When someone asked about fears the Browns could drown in a sea of hype, Kitchens was willing to say it all.
"I want everybody to understand this," the new head coach said Wednesday in advance of training camp. "Our goal here with the Cleveland Browns as long as I’m here will always be to win the Super Bowl.
"Now that’s the last time I’m going to say that. Just know and make it a given that that’s what I believe to my core, is to win the Super Bowl."
The Browns haven't been to the playoffs since 2002 and have had only one winning season since. Still, Kitchens was willing to go out on that limb in public. With this asterisk:
"You don’t do that by talking about it, and you don’t do that by outside expectations. You do that by putting the expectations on how you prepare on a day-in and day-out basis, keeping your head down and not worrying about the scoreboard."
The scoreboard turns on in the preseason opener against Washington Aug. 8. The first real game will be Sept. 8 against Tennessee.
Kitchens wants his players treating each training camp day as if it was all that mattered.
"Then you can't tell me, 'When do I need to let up?' or, 'When do I need to press a little harder?'" he said. "I want everything they’ve got every time we walk on the field.
"I just want them to get a little bit better tomorrow than they are today. That’s it. And then if we’re doing that enough, we’ll put ourselves in position to be successful.
"What that looks like this year I don’t know. I’ve never predicted anything. But I know what our goal is, and that’s never going to change."
Kitchens was tight ends coach of the Cardinals when they lost a Super Bowl XLIII thriller to Pittsburgh in Februrary of 2009. General manager John Dorsey sat next to Kitchens on Wednesday and sprouted a slight smile at the "Super Bowl Browns."
"My job is to get him as many good football players as I possibly can," said Dorsey, who was with the Packers when they went to two Super Bowls in the 1990s and when they won Super Bowl XLV in Februrary of 2011. "With the talent that this coaching staff has in terms of developing young men, I have no problem with trying to achieve that goal.
"We’re on the first day of training camp. You have a bunch of individuals now, but eventually training camp will develop that team chemistry that is so important to succeed as this season begins. You have a lot of men in that locker room that are truly passionate about the game.
"So now they just come together."
Kitchens joined the Browns as associate head coach/running backs coach in 2018, then became offensive coordinator on a team that went 7-8-1. That was quite a leap from the previous three records of 3-13, 1-15 and 0-16.
He seemed to feel heads turning when he talked about the Super Bowl on Wednesday.
"But I also don’t want them to be scared to go get it," he said.

North Jersey Notes Update: Split Vision, Apathy, Ten Feet From Murder, Charetta
NJ/NY
After playing an unbelievable show at the Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, NJ, last weekend, I have tons of news about some of the bands involved! First off, my bros from Split Vision have finally posted some more new songs off of their long-awaited upcoming EP on their MySpace page, myspace.com/splitvisionband. Split Vision’s “For You” has been posted on the page forever, but they recently added “Fallen” and “Sorrow,” which can be requested on WSOU’s Street Patrol. These tracks sound great! I cannot wait to hear the rest of the CD! Or wait! Maybe I already did! Hmmm, to hear the new Split Vision songs, log onto myspace.com/splitvisionband.
Pete Wells and his boys, or should I say “Metal Gods,” from Apathy are looking to take some time off to write some new material for their upcoming untitled CD. Well, actually they’ve already begun writing it, but Apathy feels that they need to take some time off from performing to iron things out with the new songs that they’ve written. You can find out more about Apathy at myspace.com/apathymetalgods.
Congrats to the boys from Ten Feet From Murder! Looks like Eduardo and the boys landed a worldwide digital distribution deal with a company called E-Klectric of the Go Digital Media Group. E-Klectric plans on re-mastering Ten Feet From Murder’s Murder EP, but they also plan on adding a live track to it and releasing Ten Feet’s music video for their song, “Lost Soul.” Ten Feet From Murder is the first metal band to sign with the distribution company. They’re mainly known for their work with Master P, Romeo and DJ Honda. The newly re-mastered Ten Feet From Murder CD should be out sometime this summer. For more on Ten Feet From Murder, log onto myspace.com/tenfeetfrommurder.
In other local music news, other than the bands that I played with last weekend, one of my buds, Dave Chisolm, formerly of Sixty Miles Down and 1,000 lb. Head, has apparently found a home with the female-fronted NYC band, Charetta, and they’re pretty good! So, good luck to Dave with that new project! To get a taste of Charetta, log onto myspace.com/charettamusic.
And finally, it looks like my bro and former guitarist, Steve Ladd, is putting back together our old band, Smoke Star with members of his old band, American Slang, minus their singer. Steve left my current band Hostel Inc. back in February, and has been writing new music ever since. Smoke Star is currently looking for a singer, so if you’re interested, hit Steve up at myspace.com/smokestarmusic.
That’s all for now! If your band is from North Jersey and you want some exposure, send your demos and press kits to Arts Weekly, c/o Tim Louie P.O. Box 1140 Little Falls, NJ 07424 or if you want me to check out your band or a band that you think could use some exposure email me and let me know where you’re performing next. No cover bands, please!
Just remember… We’re all in the same boat, so every little bit of exposure counts!

Solidarity #withSyria
The Syria conflict has killed more than 140,000 people. As the crisis enters its fourth year, campaigners worldwide are mobilising public pressure to push for an end to the bloodshed.
This Saturday marks three years since the start of the Syria conflict, which has led to the worst humanitarian crisis of the century. Syrians are living under constant fear of bombardment, siege and extremism; and millions who have fled or remain trapped in their homes are facing severe deprivation.

— The Elders (@TheElders) March 13, 2014
Over 140,000 people are known to have died as a result of the conflict, the equivalent of 4,000 every month. Over 9 million people, almost half the Syrian population, are in need of humanitarian assistance.
Standing #withSyria
This third anniversary of the conflict is a chance to remind everyone that we must not give up on Syria, and to step up public pressure on world leaders to act.
#WithSyria is a campaign urging the world not to lose hope – the conflict can and must end. It calls on everyone across the globe to stand in solidarity with all those affected by this crisis, joining them in demanding urgent political action to end the violence and provide life-saving aid.

Commit to inclusive peace talks.
Vigils will be held in 30 countries around the world to shine a light of hope for the people of Syria. Find out more and learn how you can take part, either in person or online.

This is not a set-it-and-forget-it gadget for public oversight on police
Police body-worn cameras aren't associated with reduced arrests or use of force, studies show

When an officer turns on the lights of their squad car, the vehicle camera and body camera both begin recording. (Liz Martin/The Gazette)

Law enforcement agencies in Iowa and across the nation are undergoing one of the fastest technological transitions in modern history.
The use of body-worn cameras to document police interactions has exploded in recent years, with the number of participating agencies more than doubling since 2013.
It was pitched as a game changer for law enforcement, a way to reduce unnecessary police confrontations, racial disproportionality and excessive uses of force. Surveillance devices would hold both citizens and officers accountable, advocates such as myself predicted.
A few years into this grand experiment, the results are lacking.
Body cameras “have not had statistically significant or consistent effects on most measures of officer and citizen behavior or citizens’ views of police,” authors from George Mason University wrote in a recent study. Their review of 70 empirical studies of body cameras was published this year in the Criminology and Public Policy journal.
The available research shows no clear evidence that body cameras reduce officers’ use of force overall. Interestingly however, officers who have discretion over when to turn on their cameras tended to employ force more often than officers without discretion.
The studies under review showed no clear pattern of body cameras reducing arrests or citations. Instead, at least one study speculated that cameras may lead to more arrests because officers worry their discretion not to detain people might be scrutinized by supervisors.
Body cameras do not seem to correct the imbalance of power between law enforcement and the public. One study found less than 10 percent of jurisdictions with body cameras ever used the footage in a case brought against an officer, and instead videos are overwhelmingly used to prosecute citizens.
One reason for the imbalance is that policing agencies maintain control over the footage they gather. This underscores the need for strong public disclosure laws, but even with that in place, stonewalling and data mismanagement may still persist.
To be clear, this is not a rejection of video technology in law enforcement. Body cameras are relatively new, and the George Mason University scholars emphasize the need for ongoing research. Members of the public and police officers generally support the use of body cameras, and that alone may be reason enough to continue equipping officers, with an understanding that citizen oversight is crucial.
Body camera technology became widely available around the same time the nation was dealing with a series of widely reported incidents involving unarmed people of color killed by police officers.
Americans eager for a quick fix embraced the promise of high-tech accountability. We threw millions of dollars at the problem, hoping we wouldn’t have to worry about it.
But technology will not save us from bad public policy. Police officers today are tasked with enforcing overreaching public order laws and nonsensical drug prohibition, imposed by politicians who don’t have to deal with the direct consequences of their policies.
Meaningful and sustainable improvement in police-public relationships will require more than gadgets.

B.C. set to file injunction to shut down Victoria courthouse homeless camp
Open this photo in gallery:
The B.C. government plans to ask for a court injunction to shut down a homeless encampment in Victoria.
CHAD HIPOLITO/The Globe and Mail
Published May 31, 2016 Updated May 16, 2018
The British Columbia government will file court documents Friday in a second attempt to shut down a homeless camp on the grounds of the Victoria courthouse.
A report last week warning of life-threatening fire dangers at the tent city prompted Housing Minister Rich Coleman to announce the government will return to court in a bid to dismantle the camp.
Fire commissioner Bob Cooper said in his report that safety conditions had deteriorated considerably since inspections earlier this month and it's only a matter of time before a serious fire incident occurs.
More than 100 people have been living in tents on the front lawn of the courthouse since last November, sparking complaints from neighbours about violence, feces and drugs.
B.C. Supreme Court Justice Christopher Hinkson denied a government injunction application to shut down the camp last April after a three-day hearing that saw many camp residents testify.
The government has a Sept. 7 court date to apply for a permanent injunction to remove the camp.

Coal electrician dies in mine accident
CHARLESTON — West Virginia officials say a 40-year-old coal mine electrician has died in an accident.
The West Virginia Office of Miners’ Health, Safety and Training says Steven Vernon Keeney of Sylvester died of injuries from an apparent electrical shock.
The accident happened at 12:18 a.m. Tuesday at the Panther Creek Mining American Eagle Mine in the Kanawha County community of Cabin Creek. Keeney was a certified electrician at the mine.
The agency’s inspectors are investigating.
It is the third coal mining fatality in West Virginia this year and the 10th nationwide. The U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration says four have occurred in Kentucky, two in Pennsylvania and one in Illinois.
Gov. Jim Justice said he and first lady Cathy Justice were sad to hear about the loss.

Weirton drops out of Area 1 tourney
AARON PETCHAL
Sports correspondent
The Weirton Post 10 Legion baseball team’s season has come to an unanticipated end.
The West Virginia Area 1 Legion Tournament is scheduled to get under way at 6 p.m. Wednesday at the I-470 Complex, however, Weirton and Moundsville Post 3 will no longer be taking part in it as the two team’s have forfeited the tournament leaving Wheeling Post 1 and New Martinsville Post 28 to battle it out for the right to advance to the state tournament. The two teams will play each day until one team is left standing. The pairings for the tournament are normally decided by the team’s records against each other in the games played during the regular season.
Weirton was scheduled to play a doubleheader Friday at Wheeling, however, Post 10 forfeited the games due to not having enough players to play the games.
Moundsville forfeited a game against Wheeling Saturday due to not having enough players to play.
Weirton played a solid game July 14 against Toronto, but Post 86 was able to defeat Post 10, 6-1, at the Knights Baseball Complex.
“One thing we want to see is we want to see guys improve,” Weirton head coach Jason Swartzmiller said on Sunday. “We want them to go back to their high school teams improved from where they were. We want to see guys get better. The guys who have constantly been here throughout the season have improved. They have progressed as players. As a coach, that is what you want to see.”
That game came a couple of days after Toronto defeated Weirton, 17-1, in five innings at Edwin Bowman Field.
Weirton opened the season June 1 with a doubleheader against Jefferson County Post 33 at Vaccaro Field. Post 33 swept the doubleheader.
Jefferson County won the first game, 11-5, before winning the second one, 7-1.
Post 10 concludes the season 4-16.

Photo exhibit opens at house where Madiba was imprisoned

Photographer Benny Gool tells the story behind one of the pictures he took of Madiba on the day he was released from prison
The house that was once home to president Nelson Mandela will for the foreseeable future serve as home to 30 of the most iconic images of his lifetime, as part of an exhibition that opened at the Drakenstein Correctional Centre on Monday, 11 February 2019.
The exhibition, titled Nelson Mandela: His Prison Life at Drakenstein Revisited, is hosted in the same house where Madiba was held for the final 14 months of his imprisonment, on the grounds of what was then known as Victor Verster Prison.
Monday’s launch took place on the 29th anniversary of Madiba’s release from prison on February 11, 1990, at the very same place where he took his first steps as a free man after 27 years as a political prisoner of the Apartheid regime.
Chief Mandla Mandela, Madiba’s grandson and head of the Mvezo traditional council, was a guest at the launch; decades after visiting his grandfather at the house in the late 1980s. Chief Mandela explained that the house always held a special place in the president’s heart, despite him being held against his will.
“For me, we will always regard this house as the place where Madiba’s true incarceration took place, (because he was) isolated from his comrades that he confided in. But the engagements that he had with them when they had an opportunity to come and visit, also exposed their own challenges in the years to come,” Chief Mandela said.
“I think we are fond, as a family, to own the replica of this house. Because after Madiba was released, in 1993 he called Murray and Roberts and asked them to find him the plans for this house and he built the identical house in Qunu, where he today is in his final resting place.
“You must understand how dear this property was to my grandfather, so much so that upon his release he had the exact same house built. I took a walk when I arrived here to look just how close the house is in design, and it is identical.”
Prior to Madiba’s imprisonment, the house served as home to the prison’s warden. Since his release, the interior has remained mostly unchanged, apart from the addition of a few portraits of Madiba which now hang on the walls.
The photo exhibition features pictures from photo journalists Benny Gool and Adil Bradlow; and former prison official, Nathan Ramailane. They show Madiba’s final months of imprisonment, the immediate moments after his release and his returns to the property in later years.
Anroux Marais, Minister of Cultural Affairs and Sport, said the exhibition was an opportunity to “follow in the footsteps of Madiba” during her keynote address on Monday night.
“True to his legacy, this exhibition united the three spheres of government, which in this current political climate, seems close to impossible. The launch today shows in real terms what can be achieved if we all work better together for the greater good of all who call our great county home,” Minister Marais added.
“I therefore thank the national Department of Correctional Services, the South African Heritage Resource Agency (SAHRA), our DCAS officials, Heritage Western Cape, the local Drakenstein Municipality and every person who had a hand in the success of (the) launch. Together, we have taken another step in our long walk to freedom.”
The Western Cape Government works to honour the legacy of president Nelson Mandela, for the benefit of all South Africans. BETTER TOGETHER.

Please Don't Blame Mars for This Week's Explosive Volcanic Eruptions
Author: Erik KlemettiErik Klemetti
Smoke and ash billows from the 3,340-metre Turrialba volcano near Cartago, Costa Rica, on May 20, 2016.
EZEQUIEL BECERRA/Getty Images
The past week has been a busy one for volcanoes. Quite a few eruptions have made the headlines—and when that happens, there are the inevitable statements on the interwebs that "the number of volcanic eruptions is increasing!" or "the conditions are right for lots of eruptions—just look at the alignment of the planets!" To put both of these to bed: false and false.
First off: In no way are there more volcanic eruptions today than in the past. Why does it seem like there is? I mean, I hear about another eruption somewhere in the world almost every day! Without knowing it, you just figured out why it seems like there are more eruptions: modern communication. You have the ability, here in 2016, to get information as it happens from almost anywhere on the planet. Yes, you, the one in your living room in Toledo. You are more connected to the world than almost anyone in the history of humanity. So, when a small eruption happens in Vanuatu or Ecuador or the remote Aleutians, you hear about it almost the moment it happens. Even 35 years ago, that was almost science fiction—there was no video/film taken of the start of the 1980 eruption at Mount St. Helens. None! Today, we have multiple webcams watching St. Helens 24/7 in HD*! You wonder why it seems like there are more eruptions: We just know about them ... and fast.
Second: __There is no evidence that any events off the Earth can cause lots of volcanoes to erupt worldwide. __Sorry, but there isn't (and no one is predicting them). Sure, there is very minor evidence that volcanoes already erupting or close to erupting might see slight increases in activity based on a lunar cycle—but that is the exception. The Sun, the planets, passing comets, a magnificent David Ortiz home run: none of these have been shown to play any role in increasing volcanic activity. So, our busy week is due to clustering that can happen during a random distribution (eruptions across the globe are more-or-less distributed randomly over time). We can have periods where very little is happening along with times like this moment when it seems busy. Humans like to find pattens even if nature isn't bothering with one.
A corollary to this: When one volcanic eruption catches the media's attention, some of the smaller ones that occur right afterward get more coverage than they might usually get. I call this the "OMG Volcanoes!!!" effect, where suddenly the media remembers volcanoes exist, so they all become newsworthy again. Until things settle down. Then it takes a big eruption (or one at a well-known volcano) to get everyone's attention again.
So, no need to worry that Mars being in opposition (and closer to Earth than it has been in a few years) has any impact on eruptions. And no, we are not living in unique volcanic times.
Here are some quick bits on the activity that caught everyone's attention.
Etna: Since the beginning of last week, Etna has experienced its largest paroxysm of 2016—check out the video. The Northeast Crater had strombolian eruptions starting May 17, throwing volcanic bombs down the slopes at the summit area of the volcano. The Voragine crater then followed this up with lava fountains on May 18. Interestingly, as the Voragine crater started its big show, the Northeast Crater quieted down, suggesting connections between the vents at the summit of Etna. The activity has waxed and waned since then, with lava flows and more fountaining. The New Southeast Crater joined the fun on May 23 as well, producing a small ash plume.
Turrialba: Down in Costa Rica, Turrialba unleashed some impressive ash-rich explosions. The volcano has been rumbling for over a year now. However, over the weekend the volcano went from low-level plumes to some that reached 3 kilometers (almost 10,000 feet) over the volcano. This caused evacuations, health alerts and air travel delays around the volcano due to the ash fall. These explosions could be a harbinger of more frequent or larger eruptions from Turrialba.
Fuego/Santiaguito: In Guatemala, Fuego and Santiaguito also took turns at producing some explosive eruptions. The plume from Fuego last week reached 5 kilometers (~18,000 feet) and prompted some evacuations. Meanwhile, Santiaguito created ash plumes over the weekend that reached 2.5-3 kilometers (8,000-10,000 feet).
Sinabung: In sad volcano news, multiple people died during an eruption last week at Sinabung in Indonesia. This is especially saddening because there have been eruptions occurring at Sinabung for years now. This makes for a challenging humanitarian situation, where people have not been allowed to return to their homes, even as the activity rises and falls. A spokesman for the National Disaster Mitigation Agency said "no one should have stayed, but there were some who remained to tend to their farms." This is a common refrain when it comes to getting people to stay away from these dangerous volcanoes. These latest explosions were especially intense, with ash coating towns a dozen kilometers from the volcano.
Nevado del Ruiz: In Colombia, Nevado del Ruiz had one of its strongest explosive eruptions, causing a number of airports in the region to close briefly. The plumes reached 1-2 kilometers (4,000-7,500 feet) over the volcano—the Observatorio Vulcanológico y Sismológico de Manizales posted a video showing the brief explosive eruption. The SGC is watching Ruiz closely as tremor has continued at the volcano, suggesting magma is still on the move beneath Ruiz.
Pavlof: Not all volcano news was about bigger or new eruptions. Pavlof in Alaska saw its threat level lowered after the signs of unrest diminished. The Alaska Volcano Observatory has the volcano at Yellow alert status as Pavlof has the tendency to return to eruption quickly.
* Remember, I have a list of all the volcano webcams out there (minus a few new ones), so you can check out a lot of this action live.

Depew Schools making student safety a priority by introducing school resource officer
District also adds student-focused programs
A new school year means a lot of new things for the Depew Union Free School District.
For one, it means a renewed push for student safety. Depew is introducing a school resource officer, Detective Scott Hossfeld. His office will be inside Depew High School. "I'm a little nervous, like anyone is on their first day of school," says Hossfeld.
Having a school resource officer will allow students to have an accessible relationship with law enforcement and provide an additional layer of protection for students. "Anything we can do, from a locked door to a security guard or a security system, it all helps," says Hossfeld.
"The training we have for police officers and our restrictions and rules is no different for an officer on the street or one in the school. An officer on duty, is an officer on duty and they have to be prepared for the most minor situation and the worst possible thing. Any time an officer in Depew is on duty, they have to carry a weapon," says Hossfeld when asked about being armed in the school.
Depew is also in the midst of a renovation of its athletic fields, providing safer spaces for students to stay active and healthy.
What a warm welcome! So nice to welcome back fellow wildcats with smiles and cheers for the first day. Awesome at Depew HS. @WKBW pic.twitter.com/MZPzQE3fIo

The district is also implementing new plans and improving previous focuses on celebrating achievements outside of academics and insuring the health and mental well-being of students. Administrators stress the focus of making the schools a comfortable, home environment. That's why they've started a clothes closet, where students can trade or get clothing for every season. Donations can be dropped off at Depew High School.

FBI weighs telling about about vulnerability

<p>FILE - This Feb. 17, 2016 file photos an iPhone is seen in Washington. The dispute over whether Apple must help the FBI hack into a terror suspect's iPhone is about to play out in a Southern California courtroom. The hearing Tuesday, March 22, in U.S. District Court in Riverside is the first in the battle that has seen Cook and FBI Director James Comey spar over issues of privacy and national security. (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster,File)</p>
WASHINGTON (AP) — FBI Director James Comey says the FBI is still studying the software vulnerability that allowed the agency, with third party help, to access a locked iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino, California attackers.
He told an audience at a Georgetown University conference Tuesday that "we're really close to sorting that out." He said that work will inform the decision of whether the government reveals the vulnerability to Apple Inc.
A still-unidentified third party approached the FBI last month with a method that it said could open the locked iPhone 5C of Syed Farook, who along with his wife killed 14 people in the December attacks.
The method worked, but the FBI has not revealed what it entailed and has not said whether it will share it with Apple.

Together We Do More: Encouraging Generous Living
WE’VE PUT TOGETHER A COLLECTION OF RESOURCES TO HELP PASTORS ENCOURAGE GENEROSITY IN THEIR LOCAL CONGREGATIONS.
United Methodists are a generous people. In 2014, alone church members gave well over $500 million to denominational and church-related causes and in disaster relief and other designated giving.
The fact remains, however, that average church members in the United States give about two percent of their income to the church
”Together we do more” is what actually happens when United Methodists pool their gifts of money, time and talent to do mission and ministry.
“Together we do more” is also an online collection of resources from the connectional giving team at United Methodist Communications. Check out umcgiving.org/togetherwedomore for ideas and information for pastors and other church leaders can use to encourage generous living among their congregations.
“We have created these resources because we wanted to provide a comprehensive/holistic approach that pastors can use to encourage generosity,” says Elsie Cunningham, director of connectional giving. “Pastors can use the generosity resources during their worship services or in small group settings.”
The “UMC Year-End Giving Playbook” is among the new resources created for the online kit. Many pastors and leaders agree generosity and giving should be year-round topics. However, there are reasons to make a push for contributions in November and December. Among them are:
Without an emphasis, opportunities to give to the church can get lost among many other appeals.
The end of the tax year means contributions to your church can improve a taxable-income situation for givers. For many, this is a major giving incentive.
Year-end bonuses or checks may be the bulk of income for the year.
Many givers wait until the end of the year to tithe when final acknowledgements and accolades come from clients and employers.
December is the largest giving month for most churches.
The Rev. Phyllis M. Bowers, executive director of The United Methodist Stewardship Foundation since 2005, wrote the forward to the playbook.
She describes it as “a year-end giving blueprint to help you enter that crowded ‘marketplace’ (of year-end appeals) and communicate to your members in a way that is encouraging, exciting and a life changing, life-giving experience for all involved. She says year-end campaigns provide opportunities:
“to influence the consumerist impulses with a biblical, grace-based generosity message;
“to communicate your vision for the year and to build momentum going into the new year;
“to focus ministry efforts on felt needs” in the congregation, the local community and in connectional ministry."
The Social Media section features inspirational quotes to help engage congregants in generous living.
Downloadable bulletin inserts, mini-posters, podcasts and videos are for use in worship, with small groups and in other settings.
Worship resources include offering talk illustrations and slides, and sermon illustrations. These resources will help you share the good news of generosity.
There are also ideas and illustrations for children’s sermons.
To learn lots more visit www.umcgiving.org/togetherwedomore.
UMC GIVING is the main connectional giving website which features information, stories, downloadable worship resources and other materials to promote each of the apportioned funds and the six special Sundays with offerings.
The Connectional Giving Online Course: “Missional Storytelling: Creating a Culture of Generosity” gives church leaders a holistic and biblical view of generosity. Find complete details of the free online course, which can be accessed at any time, at www.umcom.org/learn/connectional-giving.
Compiled by the Rev. Kathy Noble, editor, Interpreter and Interpreter Online.
United Methodist Church Giving is about people working together to accomplish something bigger than themselves. In so doing, we effect change around the world, all in the name of Jesus Christ. To read stories about giving click here.

Szpilka: Wilder got me in the end, but I proved I can mix it!
Artur Szpilka has refused to engage in any trash talk with Derek Chisora and has instead promised to let his fists do the talking when he clashes with the Finchley Heavyweight at The O2 in London on Saturday July 20, live on Sky Sports Box Office in the UK and DAZN in the US.
Although Szpilka’s dream of becoming the first ever Polish Heavyweight Champion of the World was brutally destroyed by WBC ruler Deontay Wilder in 2016, the 30-year-old southpaw from Wieliczka still believes he can achieve big things in boxing.
Power-puncher Szpilka, with only world level defeats on his resume, was giving the champion problems in the opening few rounds until he was caught by a huge shot in round nine.
He has since returned to winning ways in his native country, including a victory over domestic rival Mariusz Wach back in November, and the awkward 6’ 3.5” southpaw believes that a win over ‘WAR’ Chisora will fire his name back into the Heavyweight mix.
“The Heavyweight division is now wide open,” said Szpilka. “We saw Andy Ruiz Jr stop Anthony Joshua in New York a few weeks ago in a big upset. I believe that every top ten fighter now has a chance of winning a version of the Heavyweight world title. However, my full focus is on Derek Chisroa. I’m not thinking about anything else.
“Despite the eventual KO I think it was quite a good fight with Wilder. I had to fight with a broken hand from the fourth round onwards. Deontay finally got me in the ninth round but this is boxing. Up until that point I was very much in the fight and proved I can mix it at that level. I hope the best is still to come.”
July 20 will not be the first time that Szpilka and Chisora have shared a ring. The rivals already had a chance to trade punches during the filming of the 2018 film ‘Pitbull’, a Polish gangster film in which the two men were involved in a brief boxing scene.
Chisora has spoken of his willingness to take on former WBO ruler Joseph Parker should he get past Szpilka on Saturday, but ‘The Pin’ believes that his London rival would be a fool to overlook him and has vowed to prove any doubters wrong.
“I met him and we had a short chat. Yes, we know each other but we are not friends. We indeed traded some blows but not heavy ones. It was more fun than a real fight. The real punches will fly in London! I have a lot of respect for Chisora. He is a true warrior and he always fights to the final bell, so I’m ready and prepared for a tough fight. I chose this fight because we are both crazy men and it’s going to be a crazy fight.
“I know that people are talking about Chisora fighting Jospeh Parker this autumn and I know Derek and his manager David Haye are trying to get under my skin by mentioning this, but I don’t want to get involved in this trash talk too much. I’ll answer them on July 20. My fists will do the talking!”
Chisora vs. Szpilka is part of a huge night of boxing in the Capital.
Main event sees Brixton’s Dillian Whyte (25-1, 18 KOs) risk his number one spot in the WBC against relentless and undefeated Colombian Oscar Rivas (26-0, 18 KOs), Doncaster fan favourite Dave Allen (17-4-2, 14 KOs) tackles Liverpudlian Heavyweight David Price (24-6, 19 KOs) in a must-win domestic showdown, big-hitting London Cruiserweight Richard Riakporhe (9-0, 8 KOs) defends his WBA Inter-Continental title against Bournemouth’s undefeated Chris Billam-Smith (9-0, 8 KOs), Canning Town’s Charlie Duffield (7-1, 6 KOs) clashes with Lewisham’s Dan Azeez (8-0, 5 KOs) for the vacant Southern Area Light-Heavyweight title, British Cruiserweight champion Lawrence Okolie (12-0, 9 KOs) returns, Ipswich Heavyweight Fabio Wardley (7-0, 6 KOs) continues his march towards a title and Sheffield amateur star Dalton Smith (1-0) fights for the second time.

Elephant and tiger conservation hand in hand SEARCH NEWS
World Land Trust’s efforts to conserve wild populations of Asian Elephants in India will also benefit Bengal Tigers by creating and protecting corridors between wildlife reserves.
Despite being one of the most ‘charismatic’ species targeted by conservation efforts, the geographic range of tigers is estimated to have declined 41per cent between 1997 and 2006, and the biggest loss of tiger habitat has occurred in India.
Tiger habitat is disappearing
Tracking the number of tigers in the wild has been inconsistent in both location and methodology (there is considerable debate over the most effective way to monitor tiger populations), so the exact numbers of tigers currently living in the wild and the population trends over time are in doubt.
However, with the understanding that tigers need to feed, and to avoid human persecution they require large areas of protected land to predate upon wild prey species, it can be deduced that the decline of their geographic range will be significantly affecting tiger populations.
At the moment the majority of India’s Bengal Tigers are living within the 49 tiger reserves set up by Project Tiger under the National Tiger Conservation Authority in India. A number of these reserves are also home to Asian Elephants, so a conservation initiative to create and protect corridors between elephant and tiger reserves will benefit both species.
Securing elephant habitat benefits tigers
Wildlife Trust of India (WTI), conservation partner of World Land Trust (WLT), is working to secure strategic areas within identified elephant migration routes between large protected areas. As elephants have historically migrated across continents, forging paths through forests, mountains and grasslands which are used by countless other species such as tigers, this project has huge potential for the conservation of India’s wildlife.
Project Tiger works within ‘Core Areas’ of tiger habitat, reserves and parks which are free of all human activities and ‘Buffer Areas’ of conservation-orientated land use, where wildlife and human populations must co-exist. These Buffer Areas are more controversial, as farms become vulnerable to elephant damage and tigers are targeted by poachers.
These ‘Buffer Areas’ are mostly corridors between ‘Core Areas’, and WTI’s vision is to give the corridors better protection by reducing human-wildlife conflict.
WLT has so far funded the protection of three wildlife corridors, and is now raising funds to safeguard another two: the Siju-Rewak and Rewak Emangre corridors in Garo Hills, and Tirunelli-Kudrakote in northern India.
You can support the conservation of tigers and elephants by donating to the Indian Elephant Corridors Appeal, which is raising funds for the Mudahalli corridor in Southern India.

When fact checkers make things up
Bryan W. White October 20, 2012 1 Comment
the Blog, Zebra Fact Checks
fact checking, Linda McMahon, PolitiFact
We have an example from yesterday of a fact checker doing something a fact checker should not do.
PolitiFact, the popular fact checking site associated with the Tampa Bay Times newspaper, cherry-picked a definition and ruled on a politician’s statement based on that cherry picking.
PolitiFact’s mistake occurs as it checks a claim from Republican senate candidate Linda McMahon. McMahon’s campaign aired an ad charging incumbent opponent Chris Murphy with receiving $1 million in salary while voting to cut Medicare by $716 billion.
PolitiFact’s reasoning:
“He’s been in Congress six years, and he’s cumulatively been paid $1 million dollars,” said Todd Abrajano, communications director for the McMahon campaign. “It’s pretty clear and straightforward.”
But in our view, that’s a ridiculous way of calculating “salary,” which is defined as “a fixed regular payment, typically paid on a monthly or biweekly basis but often expressed as an annual sum.”
The tremendous distortion of this claim is that it adds up multiple years and uses a terminology that suggests it is for one year.
The tremendous error of the fact check is that fact checkers are not the gods of the dictionary. The definition PolitiFact cites shows that the McMahon ad is technically accurate. If the definition read “always expressed as an annual sum” then PolitiFact would have a leg to stand on. But it reads “often expressed as an annual sum,” leaving PolitiFact with no leg to stand on in ruling the claim “False.”
Consider an example: “His annual salary is $112,000.” By PolitiFact’s logic, that sentence is redundant. It repeats information (“annual”) that we should automatically understand from the term “salary.” But the sentence is not redundant because of the preceding part of the definition. If I say I make $4.2 million in salary over my lifetime, people understand that to mean my total income from salary if they understand the way the word is customarily used.
Is the McMahon ad misleading? Yes it is. But it’s also technically true, and the PolitiFact fact check is wrong to give it a grade that fails to recognize that fact. In effect, PolitiFact makes up its own definition of “salary” and grades McMahon based on its invented standard.
Avoiding the error
There’s no need for any journalist to make a mistake like this one. The error is easy to avoid by consistently applying the principle of charitable interpretation. That principle, in brief, calls for taking the entire range of definitions into account and applying the one that makes the best sense of a speaker’s words.

→The Sustainability Of The 2020 Range Rover Evoque
Last Updated on November 29th, 2019
When Land Rover developed the all-new 2020 Range Rover Evoque they paid specific attention to sustainability and reducing their carbon footprint. Every single Range Rover Evoque uses up to 72.8-lbs of natural and recycled materials. These recycled materials come from post-consumer or post-industrial sources within the supply chain.
Our article consultants at Land Rover South Dade (South Dade, FL) told us that Land Rover went beyond just using recycled materials and chose to use responsibly-sourced interior materials. The 2020 Range Rover Evoque still has its luxurious feel while offering innovative textiles, trim finishes, and two new available seat options. Instead of leather customers can choose seats upholstered with Kvadrat. Kvadrat, developed by Danish textile experts, is a blend of durable wool and Dinamica suede cloth. This material is made from 53 recycled plastic bottles per vehicle.
Another upholstery option is a new Eucalyptus textile made from natural fibers. These materials use a lot less water when grown than traditional materials. The Eucalyptus textile is paired with a new lightweight performance material that not from animals. Both upholstery options are an excellent premium alternative to leather.
At launch Land Rover offers an all-new hybrid electric powertrain for the Evoque, which reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The 48-volt MHEV powertrain features advanced engineering to collect energy that is normal lost and store it in a battery located under the floor. When the driver applies the brakes at speeds below 11 mph the engine will shut off to save power. The energy that is stored in the battery is reused when the driver accelerates. The new engine makes the Range Rover Evoque an excellent vehicle in stop and go city traffic.
Customers also have the option of a 2-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged gas engine. The turbocharged engine produces 246 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel-drive.To stay on par with Land Rover’s goal of sustainability this engine is designed for clean and efficient combustion.
While Land Rover paid close attention to reducing the carbon footprint of the Range Rover Evoque and using recycled material they also thought about the end of the Evoque’s life. At the end of the Range Rover Evoque life, the vehicle is designed to by 85% recyclable/reusable and 95% recoverable.

Sports / India bids to host next hockey World Cup
Hindustan Times : Feb 05, 2019, 03:39 PM

Courtesy of David Evans
January 9, 2012 - Scott Walker is best known for a song he did early on in his career as the front man for The Walker Brothers, “The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore,” that couldn’t be more different than what he is doing now. Walker has evolved from a singer in a pop band that vied with The Beatles for popularity in the UK in the mid-sixties into an avant-garde music maker who has built an influential solo catalog owing to his always inventive and elaborate compositions.
The 70 year-old artist and producer, continues to push creative boundaries on his new album, Bish Bosch, his first in six years. In this interview, Walker talks about his early career and recalls his first gig in Hollywood, and explains how his song writing begins with the lyrics, and he later put the lyrics to music.

Both Of You, Duel Like You Want To Win
#10: "Both Of You, Duel Like You Want To Win"
Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series episode
Overall №
Ending theme
"A Cruel Angel's Thesis", Yoko Takahashi "Fly Me to the Moon"
"Maniac", Michael Sembello, Flashdance OST
#9: "El Juegos De Tarjeta" #11: "... In America"
Both Of You Duel Like You Want To Win is the tenth episode of Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series.
Unlike Episode 9, this one actually IS the worst episode ever.
How I loathe it.
Yugi must duel against an insane pyromaniac who likes to play a children's card game.
Yugi Muto and his friends have arrived at a dueling arena just when Mai Valentine has lost her duel to PaniK. The group is aghast that Mai was screaming just because she lost her star chips. Despite this, Yugi Muto transforms into Yami Yugi and challenges PaniK to a duel for Mai's star chips. However, PaniK's Castle of Dark Illusions allows his monsters to remain in the shadows and even uses flame-throwers to threaten Yugi. Eventually Yami Yugi wins the duel, prompting PaniK to try and kill Yugi, but Yugi cannot die as he is the main character and so he mind-crushes PaniK, then tells Mai to beg for her star chips back.
This is the first episode where Kawaita Sakebi is not the opening theme song since it was first used in episode 5.
According to his CardGamesFTW account, this is LittleKuriboh's least favourite episode. This is because it was difficult making the episode humorous due to its dark plot, and because of numerous song gags serving as replacements for clever dialogue.
Cultural References Edit
The theme song in this episode is the opening theme from Neon Genesis Evangelion, "Cruel Angel's Thesis". The episode title is a reference to an Evangelion episode title ("Both of you, Dance like you want to win!"), and the ending song ("Fly me to the Moon") is also from Evangelion.
The two songs that play when PaniK tries to burn Yami Yugi are Disco Inferno and Ring of Fire.
The new song used for Yugi's transformation to Yami Yugi is Shaft's theme song. The next few lines are also references to Shaft.
The song playing while they showed the intro of Yu-Gi-Oh GX (DMX) is "X's gonna give it to ya" Also this explains Jaden's mannerisms in the 10th Movie Abridged (acting like Joey says "A rap artist").
In this episode, Yugi references Booker T's catchphrase "Can You Dig It Sucka?"

I love the salmon pink colour of the sunset in India. It is good to spend a time with family drinking chai (milk tea) every morning and evening. In India, time flows slowly than other countries like Japan. I came from Japan. I married an Indian and live in India. I live together with my husband's family. My husband and I run 2 hotels in Bodhgaya. We also run free school for poor children. I would like to introduce my amazing life in India.
We held a study tour of Angel Aid Association which is supporting our ex-students from Surya Bharti school to study in colleges, in this August 2016.
www.angelaidassociation.org
11 people participated in this tour from Japan.
"Study tour" means a tour to see, research and learn about the situation of local area where there has been the children supported by a group.
Most of the members of the tour are in medical jobs or educational jobs, and they had classes in Surya Bharti school for the students by using their special knowledge.
We had 2 days of the classes to teach students because some people arrived few days later.
In the first day of the classes, we had
folding Furoshiki (handkerchief) in Japanese way, how to brush tooth (by dental hygienist), games by making round shape (by a student who is a teacher to be), designing and making Uchiwa (Japanese hand fan) (by an artist), about hospitals in Japan and hospice care (by a nurse), about Japanese history, relation between India and Japan, and Samurai culture (by a history teacher).
Some of the members who can speak English, they taught the students in English. I interpreted in Hindi in the class about history.
Three of ex-students helped the classes as interpreters or assistants.
Our students learned lots of things by learning Japanese culture with Japanese people.
They departed from Japan on the 9th August, and they arrived in Japan on the 18th August. They seemed like they were enjoying whatever happened in the tour...!!!
Next time, I am going to tell you about visiting a hospital, NGO, a college, an institution, a private school, and about sightseeing, and shopping etc.

An ex-student, Ajay's death
"Do you know Ajay died?"
I was asked from Babita madam when we were going to visit a village to have Mothers & Infants Health program.
Ajay was the first phase graduate student (April 2012) from Surya Bharti school. He was living in a village next to a village where Babita madam lives.
"Does God call a person with pure heart very quickly to the heaven? He has a small baby and his wife is pregnant now. What a pity...."
Babita madam told me what she knew so far.
Ajay was killed by an electric shock when he was working at a construction site.
I was so shocked but I tried to keep calm mind during the program pretending as usual. Actually, my mind was filled with Ajay's death.
In that evening, Vikram came to see me. He lives in next state for his study. I was wondering that there wasn't any festival and what brought him here. He said that he came to say condolences to Ajay's family after taking only one day holiday from his school. Vikram is also the first phase graduate student as same as Ajay.
We started to talk about Ajay as soon as we found each other.
Vikram told me what he had heard from Ajay's family when he visited his house.
Before Ajay, first, a site foreman got a electric shock then Ajay was next to him and touched him without notice. The site foreman was brought to a hospital soon after the accident, but Ajay was left there untill about 4 hours later. There was nobody from Ajay's village to call his family. 4 hours later since the accident happened, Ajay was brought to a hospital in Gaya by a car by his villagers, but he had died on the way to the hospital.
"Ajay has a baby girl. She is one and half years old just like your younger daughter" Vikram said.
Some students from the first phase graduate came to say condolences.
Vikram continued to say, "I am regretting. Just one month ago, I met Ajay and I told him that he should change his job as a labor, he studied as least in 2nd grade in college, he can work in more high level job. I recommended him to get a job in your hotel. Then we promised that we would go to see MD sir and you about his job when I could get a holiday next time...
I am regretting that Ajay may have never died if I brought him here more earlier. If he got a job here that accident couldn't happen then he is alive now.
Ajay's mother died very early when Ajay was a baby, so he forced to marry very early after matriculation. If he didn't marry still now, then he was a college student like me..."
His word was breaking my heart. It was me who had made a direction of Ajay's fate. I always say to my students no to marry before becoming legitimate age in order to stop child marriage in villages. And I didn't put Ajay's name on the list of scholarship for studying in college, because of his early marriage. Then Ajay became a labor in a construction site.
On the very next day, principle and Rekha madam, Madhu madam and I visited Ajay's house. It was located at just behind the building which was used as our school for few years since 2001 when we started the school. When we were walking to the house, an old man started to cry with covering his face with both hands. He was Ajay's father.
He brought us to his house. It was very small simple house made of bricks. Father pointed inside of the house, I found a woman holding her knees there. She was Ajay's wife.
I went close to her then she burst into tears. I was only able to pat her back with no word to say.
An old lady came to us holding a baby. The baby is as same old as my younger daughter.
"Is she Ajay's daughter? Are you Ajay's mother?" I asked her.
She said " I'm a mother of her(Ajay's wife). Ajay's mother died very early when Ajay was a baby.
I asked her about the baby's name, then she replied "Her name is Alka".
I said "What a coincidence! My sister in law's name is also Alka."
Then she said "It was not a coincidence. Ajay named her hoping her to become like your sister in law. He was always telling about the school and you."
I tried to hold back tears.
Ajay might have thought about me like his mother because he lost his real mother early. Though I have thought him as one of many students.
Rekha madam asked Ajay's wife, "Do you eat food these days? You are pregnant, aren't you? Not only for yourself but also for a new baby, you have to eat."
Ajay's mother in law said, "After that, she has never eaten. Even when this baby had a fever, her mother couldn't stand up, so I brought her to see a doctor."
Rekha madam said, "Maybe, Ajay's soul goes into the new baby's body to reborn. Please take care of the new one." Ajay's father cried again. He didn't know about the pregnant.
"I raised Ajay and his elder brother by myself alone since their mother died when Ajay was 4 months old.
I told Ajay's wife who was crying still then.
"I will give a permission to your children to be admitted in my school when they will become older. I will give you a job."
Then Ajay's mother in law said "My daughter went to 2nd grade of college."
Ajay and his wife married when he was studying in Surya bharti school. By a custom in rural area, their parents made them married early. They continued to live in their houses and study. Ajay was always telling his mother in law on the phone that let his wife study more as long as she wants.
Ajay supported his wife financially by working as a labor after graduated from Surya bharti school, while he also continued to study till being 2nd grad of a college.
"I heard that Ajay became a victim in the accident caused by site foreman. Is the top of the company going to give you any compensation?" I asked, and Ajay's father replied, "They said that they would give us money before Ajay's funeral, but the next day, they said if I require any money from them then they will start a lawsuit against me."
To keep fighting on court is very expensive and they know Ajay's father can not afford it.
When we left Ajay's house, Ajay's friend told us a lot of things about Ajay. Since Ajay didn't have his mother, he always cooked breakfast for his family every morning, then he went to the school. After coming back from the school, he helped his father in the field and then cooked dinner for his family every evening. Whenever someone asked him to help to harvest, he was happy to do for them without money. Whenever there was someone became sick in his village, he brought him to hospital.
He started to work in construction sites besides agriculture after he had a baby. He might think that he had to earn more for the baby. He started to work as a labor bringing bricks and cements, then he learned how to plaster by working with some experts and he became a plasterer earning 400Rs. per day. Then, it happened.
Principal remembered Ajay and he introduced us some episodes.
"One day, Ajay was hit by a friend with a stick. But he said nothing happened for his friend so that he wouldn't be scalded. He was such a kind boy."
I looked for Ajay's photos to give them his family. I found that Ajay was always behind his classmates in every photos. He was always side of them or behind them. It shows his modest and shy character. In the photo which we took when the first phase students graduated from Surya Bharti school, Ajay was just behind me.
I told Ajay in my heart, "Please wait in heaven. I will take care of your wife and children."

Philippines: 28 April -Workers call for safe workplaces and end to contractualisation
May 1, 2018 Jawad Leave a comment
Workplace safety NGO Institute for Occupational Health and Safety Development (IOHSAD) held a candle lighting activity in Zambales province to mark Workers’ Memorial Day and remember all the Hanjin workers who died due to work since the largest shipyard company started its operations in the country in 2006.
This annual red-letter day is aimed to gather workers in different parts of the world to remember all workers who have died due to work. IOHSAD slammed the government’s failure to ensure safe workplaces and pass a pro-worker occupational safety and health (OSH) bill amid recent workplace tragedies such as the NCCC mall fire in Davao last December 2017 that claimed the lives of 38 workers.
“This government’s track record of broken promises includes its failure to pass a pro-worker OSH Bill. Ending contractualization and ensuring safer workplaces are not in President Duterte’s priorities,” says Nadia De Leon, IOHSAD advocacy officer.
IOHSAD said the commemoration of this year’s Workers’ Memorial Day is more significant as the Filipino workers prepare for a huge and historic mobilization on May 1.
“Contractual workers do not only suffer from insecure jobs but they also handle the most hazardous work. Their stories reveal how they are deprived of necessary medical attention during emergencies at work. They even shell out from their pockets to provide for their own personal protective equipment such as goggles, safety shoes and ear plugs,” added De Leon.
Majority of the workers who died in the Kentex factory fire three years ago, were contractual and agency workers. This workplace tragedy exposed not only the employers’ grave violations of safety standards that caused the workers’ deaths but also the miserable plight of contractual workers. They were overworked, underpaid and exposed to unsafe work. These deplorable working conditions and precarious work claimed the lives of more than 72 Kentex workers.
“Our call for safe workplaces is part of the Filipino workers demand to end contractualization. Regular jobs, decent wages and strong unions are the workers’ most reliable shields against deadly and unsafe work,” ended De Leon.

Philippines: IOHSAD candle lighting ceremony on 28 April
We will mark this year’s Workers’ Memorial Day in the Philippines together with Hanjin shipyard workers. On April 28, a candle lighting program will be held in a workers’ community in Zambales located near the Hanjin shipyard to remember the workers who died due to work.
We will post photos in our social media accounts on the actual day of the WMD activity.
Thank you! Warm regards, IOHSAD Team in the Philippines
WORKERS’ MEMORIAL DAY (Philippines)
We remember, organize and fight for safe workplaces!
On April 28, Filipino workers will commemorate Workers’ Memorial Day by amplifying their call for safe workplaces and the enactment of a pro-worker occupational safety and health (OSH) bill. For the first time, IOHSAD, a workplace safety NGO will hold its WMD activity together with Hanjin shipyard workers in Zambales.
WE REMEMBER.
We remember the more than 40 Hanjin shipyard workers who have died due to work since 2006. They were victims of grave violations of OSH standards committed by Hanjin and its neglect of workers’ safety. On April 28, we remember their names and pledge to fight for safe workplaces for all workers.
WE FIGHT.
Countless workers all over the country confront various workplace hazards that put their lives at risk. On April 28, we demand for the immediate passage of a pro-worker occupational safety and health (OSH) bill that will help prevent workplace accidents and deaths. We reiterate our call for an OSH Bill that pushes for the criminalization of OSH standards violations and government’s mandatory inspection of all types of workplaces in the country.
WE UNIONIZE.
We will unionize and consolidate our organizations to fight for our right to safe workplaces! Unions serve as the workers’ most reliable shields against employers who disregard workers’ safety and put workers’ lives in constant danger at work. On April 28, we will pledge to build strong and militant unions to fight for our occupational safety and health rights.
Safe Workplaces Now!
Criminalize OSH Violations!
Pass a Pro-Workers Occupational Safety and Health Bill NOW!

It's been a great countdown. Let's recap:
10. George H.W. Bush aircraft carrier
9. Transitioning to Obama
8. Aircraft carrier landing
7. Teaching black people how to dance
6. The Liberty Speech
5. "Major League Asshole"
4. "I earned capital in the campaign, political capital, and now I intend to spend it."
3. Axis of Evil
2. Shoe Throwing? Bring it on!
And now, with George W. Bush's Edmonton speaking engagement only a couple hours away, it's time to bring out our best Bush video moment. And for that, we need to turn to his shining glory, the immediate aftermath of September 11th.
There were several things from the Clinton Presidency that Bush recalled with distaste, and you can see many of these experiences guiding his Presidency. Entering office with the "W's stolen off keyboards" incident led Bush to ensure that his successor entered office with the full support of the staff of the outgoing administration. Bush very publicly expressed disgust with Pardon-gate where every criminal with any link to the Clintons got a full pardon as he left office... in 2009 Bush's small number of pardons was immediately shrank when he learned the beneficiary's father was a Republican donour. Clinton had the U.S. military bombing Serbia from on high, and when Iraq/Afghanistan began Bush was convinced he was going to do things differently: if a cause was so important that a few individual Iraqi and Afghani lives were worth the sacrifice than surely American soldiers who had vowed to sacrifice their lives if need be for a greater good could be added to the roster. The Cindy Sheenans of the world weep and cry hearing about this, but better for both American and Iraqi peoples to be fighting and dying on the ground than the latter dying as the former fly away in total security confident only the darkies need suffer.
When I take action, I’m not going to fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt. It’s going to be decisive
- George W. Bush
But that's not the quote in our top video moment (for example, there's no video). Instead I bring you this:
Our top video moment starts at 0:46 into the video. When Bush's megaphone isn't loud enough to be heard everywhere at first, the crowd calls out "We can't hear you George." Bush responds with one of his most memorable lines:
I can hear you, the rest of the world can hear you and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon
Attaboy George! See you in a few hours!

An overview of Nvidia’s GeForce GTX GPUs for 4K video processing
by Stephen on October 24, 2014
by Stephan Jukic – October 24, 2014
Nvidia is building a major reputation for itself as the chipmaker that’s most on top of the market for game card GPUs and processors that are ready to handle full 4K at full frame rates of 60 fps.
We’ve seen this reputation develop over time with a whole series of GPUs ranging from the Maxwell series to the Titan Z line of Video cards to their massively powerful new GeForce GTX line of GPUs.
The company has even released driver updates that allow older, weaker GPUs like its Fermi and Kepler series of video cards in the 400 to 700 ranges the capacity to render 4K graphics for users of weaker PCs in a certain limited way.
Currently however, some of the newest and greatest Nvidia game cards are the GeForce GTX line, which include the GTX 970 and the even more powerful GTX 980.
These are the brand new flagship additions to the Nvidia graphics card lineup and are being touted as the next generation replacements for the existing 780Ti, 780 and 770 line of GPUs, which were previously Nvidia’s absolute best top-shelf single GPU products.
Because of their reputation for hardcore performance under even the most difficult conditions, the GTX 980 and 970 lines are also being incorporated into some of the latest powerhouse gaming PCs by companies like Origin PC and Digital Storm. Both of these brands create boutique gaming PCs that serve the high-end 4K ready game market.
Now, given their reputation and the reputation of the company making them, it’s pretty clear that the GTX 970 and 980 GPUs have some really heavy duty specs working inside them.
Here’s a quick overview of exactly what these specs consist of.
The GeForce GTX 970 is definitely the “weaker” of the two new Nvidia GPUs but despite this status, it’s still a massively powerful workhorse of a graphics card.
With the GTX 970, users get their hands on 1,664 CUDA cores, base and boost clocks of 1,050 MHz and 1,178MHz. Also, like its more powerful cousin, the 970 features a 7,000MHz memory clock and offers a 4GB GDDR5 RAM memory.
This RAM alone is twice as large as what was available in the GeForce GTX 770, which is the 970’s official predecessor.
Furthermore, the 970 offers a 256-bit memory bus, memory bandwidth of 224GB/sec and three DisplayPort connection ports along with one HDMI 2.0 port and a dual link DVI port setup.
Also, the power savings that come with using the GTX 970 are enormous when the new card is compared to its predecessor the GTX 770, which used a full 100 watts more energy despite being a much weaker game card.
The GeForce GTX 970 and 980 GPU’s are extremely notable for their nearly unique inclusion of HDMI 2.0 connectivity
The GTX 980 represents the very top of the line when it comes to Nvidia graphics cards. This is a GPU that comes with some truly massive processing power built into it in the form of 2,045 CUDA cores, a base clock of 1,126 MHz and a boosted clock of 1,216MHz.
Like the GTX 970, the 980 also comes with a 7000MHz memory clock, a 4GB GDDR5 RAM, a memory bus of 256-bits and a 224GB/s memory bandwidth.
Also like the GTX 970, the GTX 980 offers the same three DisplayPort connectors, an HDMI 2.0 port and a dual-link DVI port.
The inclusion of HDMI 2.0 in both of these GPUs is extremely notable because, for one thing, this is the only version of HDMI that can handle graphics rendering in 4K at 60 frames per second (60 Hz) and also, virtually no GPUs on the market today are capable of supporting HDMI 2.0. The GTX 970 and GTX 980 are likely the only ones with HMDI 2.0 built into them in fact.
The power consumption of the GTX 980 is a very impressive 165-watts, quite an achievement for such a massively powerful top-shelf game card.
The GeForce GTX 970 and GTX 980 GPUs are of course already on sale and the 970 sells for $349 while the 980 is retailing for $549 USD.

This page is part of the 4S pages on contributing changes and describes the requirements for a delivery of software to 4S.
A deliverable of software to 4S consists of:
Full source code for the bug fixes or solution.
Below we detail the guidelines and requirements for each of the above.
This section covers the conditions for delivering source code to 4S. For how to actually submit your changes to the 4S source code repositories please see the page on submission of changes.
In order to have a system that is usable by the different teams and individuals working with 4S code we have set up some rules that needs to be followed. Notice that depending on the TRL of your system or component the rigidity with which we enforce this rules will vary - see the page about approval of submitted changes. If you have suggestions to changes or additions, then we would be happy to listen to you - the place for such discussions are in the Jira issue where these rules originally formed: JIR-17.
Source code delivered to 4S must fulfil the following conditions
For new modules source code license should be clearly stated, and if you use anything but the default license you need to have this pre-approved by 4S. For further regarding 4S policies on licenses and intellectual property rights see our page on License and Intellectual Properties.
If changes are made to the build system, that requires configuration changes on the machines used for building, then the guides found here and the relevant parts of the general documentation (for instance "Guide til Viderudvikling") must be updated (*after* your Jira issue where you described the changes, and reasons for them have been triaged and accepted as something we want to do). Note: After your change, the wiki should still contain information on how to setup and build older versions of the software.
If changes are made to how the software is built, then you need to update the relevant build instructions and relevant parts of the general documentation (the same extras as in the above are also valid here - e.g. there should still be instructions on the wiki on how to build old versions of the software, and you are not allowed to commit changes to the build system, until the Jira issue is accepted).
If changes influence database(s) or other persistent storage, then there must be migration plans, descriptions, tools, or other things made, so a running system can be (automatically) upgraded to the latest software without data loss.
If a source change influences the documentation, then the documentation must also be updated.
The language for documentation of 4S components is English. This is both for external documentation and documentation inline in the source code.
Please see further regarding requirements for documentation here.
Version control and issue tracking:
Every commit landing on a 4S source code repository must begin with the Jira issue tracking number(s) of the related Jira report(s). E.g.: “OT-70” in this commit message: “OT-70 Allowing user to login without having any patients or patient groups assigned.”. There can be multiple commits with the same tracking number if relevant or a single commit with several tracking numbers as long as the issues are related and linked in Jira. Issues should only be linked if they are truly related – like for example a task / subtask relationship – not just for the convenience of being able to commit multiple issues in one commit.
The documentation delivered with the source code must describe how the different types of test are run.
A clean run of the tests (automatic and/or manual) included with the component must be performed and documented in the Jira report which corresponds to the commit before a pull-request can be done.
Any new feature must either be covered by an existing test case or by a new one - where a test case is one or more automated test cases and/or a description of a manual test.
See further regarding requirements for test here.
Source code is submitted using a pull request to the relevant Bitbucket repository/repositories
It is the responsibility of the person accepting the pull request to verify that the above requirements are fulfilled, if the above requirements are not fulfilled then the pull request will be rejected, and a comment in Jira is made as to why it was rejected.
If the above process is not followed, it is the responsibility of the person who accepted and merged the pull request to fix the issue. This can be done either by making a new commit, reverting the original, or by fixing it (run the missing tests, update the documentation etc.). Failing to comply with this can result in loosing write access to the repository.
This section covers the requirements for documentation of systems and components in 4S. Notice that depending on the TRL of your system or component the rigidity with which we enforce the requirements will vary - see the page about approval of submitted changes. For how to actually submit documentation to 4S please see Submission of changes
The language for documentation in 4S is English. This is both for external documentation and documentation in the source code.
Documentation can be supplied in a number of formats, most typically either directly on the 4S wiki or as Word documents along with corresponding PDFs. The important thing is that versions of the documentation are tracked and that you can tell which version of the documentation corresponds to which of the source code.
Notice that in the OpenTele project large parts of the documentation for versions 1 and 2 are currently in Danish. In general, we require new OpenTele components, services or other larger additions to be documented in English, but if you are developing something like this please contact us so that we can have a dialogue about how/where/if to update existing documentation in Danish. Also we would like to have the existing Danish OpenTele documentation translated into English. So, please contact us at software@4s-online.dk if you would like to help us translate it.
Types of documents that can - but depending on type of change, do not have to - be part of the documentation that you should deliver:
Overall system/component description
Design and architecture description
Installation and deployment guide
Operations guide
Communication and API documentation
User Interface documentation (where relevant)
Risk assessment (depending on consequences of the proposed change in terms of Medical Device classification, see [TODO: link to 4S page about handling Medical Device classification and risk assessment])
[TODO: short description of each of the documents above]
How much of and which documents you need to supply or change depends totally on the type of change you are doing. For instance, if you are contributing a simple bug fix that doesn’t change any module or communication interfaces or essential business behaviour (which a bug fix shouldn’t in any case) the Jira issue summarizing and explaining the bug will make up the core documentation of this change. Potentially you will also have added and run a (regression) test case for the bug and you should then explicitly state this in the Jira for the bug. If you are changing the communication interface and/or some basic behaviour of a component you will definitely have to change the component description, you may need to change details in an overall system design and architecture description, and you will need to change the communication and API documentation relating to the component. Any changes to build tools (new version or other) and build configuration should be reflected in the developers guide. And so on. The general rule is you supply and/or change the documents that are relevant in relation to the change that you are submitting. If you are submitting an entirely new system, as in an entirely new set of interacting components that make up a meaningful whole, you should supply all of the documents listed above. An example of a “system” under 4S governance is OpenTele. Examples of components in OpenTele v2.x.x could be the OpenTele citizen server or the KIH AuditLog.
When you deliver code for a 4S component we require you to document the tests that you have performed before delivering the source code to our repositories. Notice that depending on the TRL of your system or component the rigidity with which we enforce the requirements will vary - see the page about approval of submitted changes. If you include new test cases please relate them to a use case describing a functional requirement or to a non-functional requirement.
We expect a typical 4S component to at least include unit and integration tests. Unit tests for verifying that a single interface, class or method works correctly and integration tests for verifying that a deployed component works and interacts as expected with regards to surrounding components and systems. Depending on the type of component and its functional and non-functional requirements you should also include results of any other types of tests – like performance or reliability testing - that you have performed before delivery.

AFC a prisoner of APNU – Rohee

The Alliance For Change (AFC) may be no Police of the A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), but itPPP General Secretary Clement Roheecertainly is its prisoner. This is according to People’s Progressive Party (PPP) General Secretary, Clement Rohee, who is refusing to succumb to the idea that all is well within the coalition camp. Rohee indicated that the AFC is setting itself up for a major downfall where there will be no escape, other than political death.Political observers and other commentators have deduced that the AFC–arm has been shafted by the People’s National Congress (PNC)–led APNU following the coalition’s assumption to Executive Office and that a major conflict has been brewing between the two parties over a number of stark disagreements on several issues. But Business and Tourism Minister, Dominic Gaskin, during a recent news conference sought to assure the party’s supporters that the relationship between the AFC and APNU is not fractured as is being assumed by sections of society. At the time he was speaking in the capacity of the AFC Treasurer at the Party’s bi-weekly press conference held at its Kitty Headquarters. “I think we have a good working relationship with our coalition partners,” he stated in response to questions about the speculations of a rift between the two parties. However, during a news conference on Monday, Rohee ridiculed his response as he outlined several instances which prove that the AFC is powerless. “Everyone is seeing the reality where the AFC, they went to the PNC Congress and they made a lot of statements there which shows they are now being consumed into the warm embrace or the kiss of death of the PNC which is the major part of the APNU,” he expressed. He pointed out also that the AFC’s attempts to “clip the wings” of Minister of State, Joseph Harmon, was an abysmal failure which eventually backfired. “Instead of them clipping the wings on Mr Joe Harmon or Joeshanlin, their wings were clipped instead,” Rohee stated.Earlier this year, AFC Vice-chairperson and the country’s Prime Minister, Moses Nagamootoo, publicly expressed his desire to have the powers entitled to Harmon be reduced. Rohee also highlighted that the Cummingsburg Accord has many breaches which disadvantages the AFC. Previously, the PPP had observed that Public Security Minister, Khemraj Ramjattan, the AFC Leader, had a significant portion of his ministerial powers transferred to PNC’s Winston Felix, now the Citizenship Minister. It was also observed that the AFC’s nominees to the Procurement Commission, Dr Anand Goolsarran and Christopher Ram, have been rejected by APNU in the Public Accounts Committee.Battered economyRohee went on to criticise the Business Minister’s claims that the economy is performing excellently when he called on all Guyanese to gear up for increased economic growth.“Where is the growth to come from when the productive sector is being stifled; the manufacturing sector is in a slump; the public service is demoralised; the global economic environment remains hostile and non-responsive; private sector investments remain frozen; foreign direct investment is now a thing of the past; the private sector/business community is battered, ostracised, neglected, pressured and heavily taxed compounded by untenable industrial relations; and social and political democracy are consistently trampled upon,” the PPP General Secretary announced. In this regard, he noted that with government coming under pressure from the majority of stakeholders, it is a clear demonstration of the administration’s ineptitude. read more

Former JYJ member Yoochun expelled from agency due to trust issues regarding drug scandal
Park Sae-jin Reporter(swatchsjp@ajunews.com) | Posted : April 24, 2019, 15:29 | Updated : April 24, 2019, 15:38
[Aju News DB]
SEOUL -- Park Yoo-chun, a JYJ member, was expelled from his agency after police sought an arrest warrant for him on charges of using drugs. His agency said the 32-year-old would retire from the entertainment industry as he promised earlier.
"We decided to terminate the contract as we judged that we could not restore our trust with Park Yoo-Chun," C-JeS Entertainment said in a statement on Wednesday, a day after police asked prosecutors to obtain a court-issued warrant for Park, who is suspected of purchasing and using 1.5 grams of methamphetamine in February and March.
"We feel the seriousness and responsibility of this matter," the agency said, adding it had trusted what Park said earlier to refute the alleged use of drugs together with Hwang Ha-na, a 31-year-old granddaughter of the late founder of Namyang Dairy Products.
Park's involvement in a drug case came to light during a drug investigation into Hwang, who has been known as the actor's ex-fiance, who told investigators that she took methamphetamine with Yoo-chun at her home. The two promised to marry in 2017 but separated the following year.
At a press conference on April 10, Park strongly denied he had never used drugs. He argued that if he is found guilty, the consequences would be bigger than ending his entertainment career. "It will be like having my whole life denied." However, police said Tuesday that the National Forensic Service has found traces of methamphetamine from Park's leg hair.
The South Korean entertainment community was in shock, with fans slamming Park for pulling a show to cover up his crime. "Why was he so confident? Why did he hold a press conference and lie?" said "Ukja2", a user from South Korea's online community Clien. Another user "Killgore" said, "Maybe he thought he had outsmarted investigators and got rid of all evidence."

Jax Meyers Creates a Mural Arts Program in Encinitas
• 5 years ago
by Linda frabl | photos by Soul of Photography
“Paint Encinitas” founder
Jax Meyers is a vibrant Leucadia resident in her 20s whose strong desire to embellish her beloved surroundings with unique street art has resulted in her founding the “Paint Encinitas” organization in 2014. She elaborated, “Our mission is to creatively unite the community, the artists, and the local businesses to install stunning, thought-provoking works of art in the public eye.”
Her mural-planning seeds were sown while Jax was helping at-risk students as a community service coordinator for City Year Philadelphia AmeriCorps upon her graduation from UCLA. She explained, “In that role I had the privilege of organizing murals in the school and organizing other local community events. At the time, I had no idea it would inform what I do today.”
Homesick for the laid-back SoCal lifestyle, Jax left Philly and moved back to Leucadia, where her family has lived since 2000. She began working at Hansen Surfboards, her former employer during her La Costa Canyon High School days. Because she was car-less, Jax skateboarded to work every day. Though she loved skating past all the new sights in her community, Jax realized, “After a while, the blank walls started to stick out and I got this idea in my head: why doesn’t Encinitas have a mural arts program?”
Name: Jax Meyers
Profession: Communications and Outreach Associate
Community: Leucadia since 2000
Hobbies: Mural arts
Favorite Local Spots: Grandview Beach, Lotus Café, and San Diego Botanic Gardens
So Jax boldly walked into the building that houses the Leucadia 101 Main Street Association, whose aim is to promote the Historic Leucadia North Coast Highway 101 corridor, and told the staff that she wanted to organize the construction of local murals. They encouraged her and Paint Encinitas was conceived! The volunteer-led organization has helped construct three murals: “Remember California,” by Skye Walker on the north wall of the Royal Liquor store in Leucadia; “Natural Rhythms and Cycles,” by Taylor Gallegos on an electrical box at the EUSD Farm Lab; and “Encinitas Harmony,” by Micaiah Hardison on the Moonlight Beach 7-Eleven. The organization also supports countless artists and produces art shows in alternative spaces.
Discussing the importance of incorporating provocative art into our society, Jax exclaimed, “When art sticks out everyone knows about it and it creates a buzz. That buzz leads to a conversation. That conversation leads to the awakening of a new perspective. And ultimately that new perspective has the opportunity to transform the way we look at the world!”

The Recreation Department provides services and facilities to allow the community to enjoy their leisure time. Through the persistent efforts of the dedicated staff, we will continue to strive to meet these demands and provide the quality service expected by our citizens.
Pete Smith Complex Playground
A new playground was built at the Pete Smith Complex, and was completed by the playground committee which operates under the AYA board. The committee raised over $40,000 toward the playground for the Abbeville community. By volunteering to install the playground and asking for donations from local contractors, the committee was able to save over $20,000.
Abbeville Youth Athletic Board
The Recreation Department works in conjunction with the Abbeville Youth Athletic (AYA) Board, which is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that sponsors the youth sports for the Abbeville community. This board strives to offer a quality program at a fair price. The AYA board has been very active in assisting the City with improvements to the facilities. This year the AYA board built a retaining wall at the Claude Simmons Dixie Youth Complex, along with assisting the City in purchasing new basketball goals in the gym.
City-Wide Support
The staff of the Recreation Department appreciates the support received by City Council, the community and administration. We look forward to the opportunity to provide quality leisure services for the City of Abbeville.

You wake up. You're in a room that you've never been inside before, in a building you've never seen before, in a city you've never heard of before. In front of you is a small messenger bag, inside of which are food rations, two bottles of water, a map of the strange city, and a list of unfamiliar names. Directly behind it is a locker that you unlock with your palm to find a weapon of some sort. Around your neck is a metallic collar. You have the peculiar feeling that you shouldn't tamper with it and so instead you try to get out of the room. One problem. It's locked and there doesn't appear to be a place where you use a key.
Suddenly there's a voice. Female, severe, undetermined age. It's echoing through the room from a loudspeaker. "Alert, combatants. You have now been engaged in a Battle Royale. Your objective is to kill each other. Until you are the only one who survives. Your reward is your freedom and the safe return to your world. This city district is twenty square miles and will serve as your battlefield. The collars are there to ensure compliance. Attempts to leave the city perimetre marked by the spires will be punished by death. Attempts to leave through the underground will be punished by death. The locker contains your randomly assigned weapon. Retrieve it now. Mission begins in ninety seconds. Prepare to kill."
<center> -A Caunion Production- </center>
Hello and welcome to this RP. The basic premise is you are a fictional character from anywhere, seized from your world and placed in an unusual environment where you are forced to fight against strangers for your own survival. Some will give up but some will play. And only one will win. Would that be you?
1. You must play one pair of one male characters and one female characters. You may play as many pairs as you wish but you must play the same amount of male and female characters.
2. Characters can be chosen from any work of fiction. However there are limitations to which characters you may use. Your character must fulfill the following requirements.
a. The physiology of your character must allow the ability to wear a collar and possess opposable thumbs.
b. Your character must be human or must be killed through traditional human means. Your character may be a vampire in that he feeds on blood and is stronger than some humans but he will be shot or stabbed.
c. Your character may not use magic.
d. Your character may not possess abilities or talents or powers deemed unsporting. The following powers are allowed for the game: enhanced senses, augmented physical characteristics (Nothing ridiculous or superhuman, simply a notch higher than normal humans), and invisibility (Note: The collar and weapons weld will remain visible regardless)
e. Your character begins wearing only clothes and the assigned weapon. All other personal objects such as weapons, armour, cell phones, or technological devices have been removed.
Final approval will be made at my discretion.
3. Upon selecting a character, you must classify your character into a class. This will act as a general standard of strengths and limitations.
4. As a tribute, you must submit at least one character that will be classified as a Redshirt class. This will provide targets for the other characters to attack. More Redshirt Class characters can be created.
5. Weapons have been carefully thought with much deliberation and range from a Mosin-Nagant rifle to a claw hammer to a paper fan. These weapons are randomly assigned to your character when you submit your characters and can be not altered.
6. Because of the nature of this RP, character deaths will occur. To kill a player character, you must first ask the controlling player for permission. If the player is not responsive for five days, you may proceed. This applies for even Red Shirt Classes.
7. Due to the nature of this RP, graphic violence may occur. Please be mindful of the sensitivities of others while also tolerant of others' actions.
8. Fill this application below to begin.
Character Name: Name of the character.
Origination: Name of the book/film/television series/anime/comic book/video game
Class: Class chosen below
Picture: Image of your character
Special Talents: If necessary. Training does not count as a "special talent" nor does a class.
The Redshirt – Basically you’re not going to make it for long. It may be after the first round, if you’re lucky, it’ll be until the second round before you die. Your sole existence in the game is to die. Eventually.
The Soldier – You’re not stranger to war and combat. You’ve trained for it, you’ve seen it, and you’ve taken part in it. You’re skilled in the weapons of your time and know the basic principles of fighting. You’re in good physical condition so short chases shouldn’t worry you nor should a little heavy lifting. They say you’re not really subtle but what do they know? Stealth is for pansies anyway.
The Assassin – There is a phrase that says “Walk soft but carry a big stick”. While you may not carry a big stick, you definitely fit the last part. No one notices you until it is far far far far far far too late. And by then, they’re already dead. On top of that, you have excellent senses, so you can spot your prey from a far distance. You might even have extraordinary accuracy, always hitting your target no matter how far or how small. Just…don’t let them catch you in the open. You’re not exactly built for man to man combat.
The Determinator – Nothing can bring you down. Not bullets, not knives, not clubs, not bombs. Nothing. Well, eventually you’ll die but not without a fight. You have unbelievable strength, taking an immense amount of punishment and dishing out even more. Sadly, however, you’re not much of a stealth person and while you can run a long distance…you can’t run really fast.
The Runner – Speed is everything for you. You run fast, you think fast, you just can’t ever stop running. Oh and you can run for a long while. You can even attack before running off again. However, you better hope you have an escape plan because if you’re cornered, all your speed means nothing.
The Blood Knight – Blood, chaos, death, and anarchy. You live for this and what better way to find it than in the battle field? You’re insane and you’re proud of it. When you fight, you fight with a certain viciousness that knows no bound. As a result, you’re stronger, faster, more determined. But you’re also more reckless and more vulnerable to counterattacks.
The Genius – Brawn doesn’t exactly mean anything to you. In fact, you enjoy going against people who rely on your strength. It makes the defeat all the more satisfying. You’re brilliant in almost everything or in a specific subject but whatever it is, there is no rival in that field for you. However, your physicality is of average condition and you may find yourself outmatched in a close range combat.
The Dancer – There is a certain elegance in your deadly moves. You usually fight unarmed but if you need a weapon, it’s always melee. You find this amusing because often you’re fighting against people twice or even three times your size yet it’s always them who end up lying dead or unconscious on the floor. Just try not to get hit because while you hit hard, you still weigh about a hundred pounds.
9. New Rule: No interaction between your own characters.
I was cured all right.

I have a character, but I want to have her from when she is older (based after from the furture of what I would like to have happen after her show.) is that ok?
Where do you go when your running away,
The cost of stopping is too great to pay.
~Amanda (saw this written in a washroom stall at a movie theater)
Misa: As long as it fits within the context of the story. For example, I don't want Alex from A Clockwork Orange growing up to be a space marine.
Pan: My only problem with Dante is that he'll have to be nerfed slightly. Superstrength in this game means he can lift a standard Japanese sedan about a foot off the ground, super speed means he sprint a 100 yards in seven seconds, agility means he can dodge knives and blunt objects faster. Basically, take what an athlete could do and slightly just slightly improve on it. If you're willing to accept that, that should be fine.
Ellie: You need a Redshirt character.
My characters.

Ok, one more question. Can my non redshirt (the person I mentioned.) have a her dog with her? as they would probely have been together when she was taken. I am unsure what your takes on pets are.
I'm going to be the randomly assigned weapons. I can promise you this is completely random and if you don't get what you wanted, well tough. So thus far....
Commander Shepard: M1917 Enfield rifle
Richard Sharpe: M1911A1
Alice: Remington 870 shotgun
Dante: P220 Sport
Jean-Baptist Grenouille: Walther PPK
Violet Baudelaire: Claymore
Hugo Stiglitz: Blowgun with poison darts
Bella Swan: Frying pan
I've also saved the random sequence so as more characters join, I can assign them their weapons.
@Misa: No pets.
Character Name: Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV (Self named and calls her self Ed, or Radical Edward for short.).
Origination:Cowboy Bebop
Class: Genius
Picture: (age 13) http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=edbebop ... 24#/d7l7hy , (now) Her hair is the same, Still tanned skin, curves. Wears jeans, boots, a white tank, loose black tie, and a mans Trench coat. And goggles on her head.
Special Talents: Can hack into almost any computer.
Character Name: Prince Adam (human form)
Origination:Disney's Beauty and the Beast
Class: Red shirt
Picture:Will find picture later.
Special Talents: None
Last edited by Misa_Amane on February 26th, 2011, 6:04 pm, edited 1 time in total.
Edward Wong: Desert Eagle
Prince Adam: Machete
I was wondering, can a person take items from those they have killed?
Misa: Yes they can. Also, I did research on Edward. There's nothing to suggest she qualifies as an assassin. Please reconsider the class
As a general rule for people thinking of characters, it's really simple.
A. Can they wear a collar?
B. Can they hold a gun or a sword or a knife or a weapon?
C. If you shoot at them, are they going to get hit just like humans?
I don't mind at all. I figured I'd have to remodify Dante a bit since he does have enhanced abilities. I will of course downsize everything so he is a super athlete
Also I quite enjoy the fact that Bella has a frying pan and is a redshirt
One more thing. I love Alice's gun <3
Okay. You don't have to completely nerf him. Just enough where the other guy has a chance
There's also going to be times where the game gets bored and decide to unleash an army of Orcs or something on everyone. Those are even worse than Redshirts but there's like hundreds of them so....
I understand. But as I said, she is based after the show, and I didn't state it, I will when it comes up, but she learned to how to fight to be a bounty hunter. And Assasin is close to that. This older version knows hand to hand fighting and how to use a gun, plus she has always been agile and tends to pop up out of nowhere.
Well being a Genius doesn't exempt from you using a gun or anything. You're just not really good at it. I'm sorry, but unless you can show me actual scenes where she does some fighting or assassin-like actions, she'll have to be a Genius. She can still kill people, she just have to be creative about it.
Btw I have a feeling this will come up. No, she will not be allowed to have her computer.
Ok, I changed it, and I know about the computer, but if she finds one in the city, she could use it right? Also, Her goggles help her hack, but they don't look it, they are useless without a computer. Are they still taken?
Oh, that will be answered in this page. Information regarding the city and the collars.
The city district that you will be fighting in is stylised and based on that of an American metropolitan area during the 1950s. The technology of the city is based off that time period. The citizens have evacuated the city, leaving no one behind. There are several office buildings, a shopping centre, several more apartments, a museum, several scores of restaurants, a park with a retention pond. There is a rapid transit system that goes through underground but the trains have been removed as well as any sort of motorised vehicle.
The collars are made of a strange metal alloy (admantium mixed with mithril and unobantium) and are waterproof and shockproof. Attempt to remove the collar or leave the boundaries of the game will cause the collar to explode. The explosion is triggered by radio signals that can penetrate underground as well. It monitors the vital signs of the person and is equipped with a microphone.
Misa: Personally I would strongly suggest you reconsider your character primarily because as a hacker from an undetermined time period fighting in a city modeled from the 1950s and forced to fight and kill, she does seem rather inept. If you can figure out a way to make it to work, that's great though.

In one minute
wel_mel posted a topic in "And remind for reminding benefit the believers
Praise be to Allaah. There follows a list of things that can be done in one minute, by the permission of Allaah: 1. In one minute you can recite Soorat al-Faatihah 3 times, reciting rapidly and silently. Some scholars said that the reward for reading al-Faatihah is more than 600 hasanahs, so if you read it 3 times you will, by the permission of Allaah, gain more than 1800 hasanahs – all of that in one minute. 2. In one minute you can recite Soorat al-Ikhlaas (Qul Huwa Allaahu Ahad) 20 times, reciting rapidly and silently. Reciting it once is equivalent to one-third of the Qur’aan. If you read it 20 times it is equivalent to reading the Qur’aan 7 times. If you read it 20 times in one minute each day, you will have read it 600 times in one month, and 7200 times in one year, which will be equal in reward to reading the Qur’aan 2400 times. 3. You can read one page of the Book of Allaah in one minute. 4. You can memorize a short aayah of the Book of Allaah in one minute. 5. In one minute you can say Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah wahdahu laa shareeka lah, lahu’l-mulk wa lahu’l-hamd wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer (There is no god except Allaah alone with no partner; to Him be dominion and praise, and He is Able to do all things) – 20 times. The reward for saying this is like freeing 8 slaves for the sake of Allaah from among the sons of Ismaa’eel. 6. In one minute you can say Subhaan Allaahi wa bi hamdihi (Glory and praise be to Allaah) 100 times. Whoever says that in one day will be forgiven for his sins even if they are like the foam of the sea. 7. In one minute you can say Subhaan Allaahi wa bi hamdihi Subhaan Allaah il-‘Azeem (Glory and praise be to Allaah, glory be to Allaah the Almighty) 50 times. These are two phrases which are light on the lips, heavy in the balance and beloved to the Most Merciful, as was narrated by al-Bukhaari and Muslim. 8. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “When I say ‘Subhaan Allaah, wa’l-hamdu Lillah, wa laa ilaah ill-Allaah, wa Allaahu akbar (Glory be to Allaah, praise be to Allaah, there is no god except Allaah, and Allaah is Most Great)’, this is more beloved to me than all that the sun rises upon.” (Narrated by Muslim). In one minute, you can say all of these words more than 18 times. These words are the most beloved words to Allaah, the best of words, and they weigh heavily in the balance of good deeds, as was narrated in the saheeh ahaadeeth. 9. In one minute you can say, Laa hawla wa laa quwwata illa Billaah (there is no strength and no power except with Allaah) more than 40 times. This is one of the treasures of Paradise, as was narrated by al-Bukhaari and Muslim. They are a means of putting up with difficulties and of aiming to achieve great things. 10. In one minute you can say Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah approximately 50 times. This is the greatest word, for it is the word of Tawheed, the good word, the word that stands firm. If these are the last words of a person, he will enter Paradise, and there are other reports which indicate how great these words are. 11. In one minute you can say Subhaan Allaah wa bi hamdih, ‘adada khalqihi, wa ridaa nafsihi, wazinata ‘arshihi, wa midaada kalimaatihi (Glory and praise be to Allaah, as much as the number of His creation, as much as pleases Him, as much as the weight of His Throne and as much as the ink of His words) more than 15 times. This words bring many more times the reward for other forms of tasbeeh and dhikr, as was reported in saheeh ahaadeeth from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). 12. In one minute you can seek the forgiveness of Allaah more than 100 times by saying “Astaghfir-Allaah (I seek the forgiveness of Allaah). The virtues of seeking forgiveness are no secret, for it is the means of attaining forgiveness and entering Paradise, and it is the means of being granted a good life, increasing one’s strength, warding off disasters, making things easier, bringing rain and increasing one’s wealth and children. 13. You can say a few brief and concise words in one minute, and Allaah may bring about some good through them that you could never imagine. 14. In one minute you can send blessings on the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) 50 times by saying Sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam (May Allaah bless him and grant him peace). In return Allaah will send blessings upon you 500 hundred times because one blessing brings ten like it. 15. In one minute you can motivate your heart to give thanks to Allaah, to love Him, to fear Him, to put hope in Him, to long for Him, and thus travel through the stages of ‘uboodiyyah (total enslavement to Allaah). You could do this when you are lying on your bed or walking in the street. 16. In one minute you can read more than two pages of a useful book that is easy to understand. 17. In one minute you can uphold the ties of kinship by calling a relative on the phone. 18. You can raise your hands and recite any du’aa’ you wish from the books of du’aa’, in one minute. 19. You can say salaams to and shake hands with a number of people in one minute. 20. You can forbid an evil action in one minute. 21. You can enjoin something good in one minute. 22. You can offer sincere advice to a brother in one minute. 23. You can console someone who is depressed in one minute. 24. You can remove something harmful from the road in one minute. 25. Making the most of one minute motivates you to make the most of other periods that would otherwise be wasted. Ohhhhhh Allhamdulelah, We are Muslims. source: www.islamqa.com salam wel_mel

salam. -Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "He who recites the Qur'an well and clearly is equal in rank to the Angels who record creation's deeds. These Angels are gracious, honourable and of lofty rank. He who finds difficulty in reciting the Qur'an will obtain a double reward." (Bukhari, Muslim). -A person whose breast is devoid of the Qur'an (i.e. has not learnt anything of the Qur'an Majeed) is like a desolate house. (Tirmidhi). -Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "A person who recites one harf (letter) of the Qur'an, obtains one virtue; each virtue multiplies to ten virtues. I am not saying that (ALM) is one harf. But, Alif (A) in it is one harf; the Laam (L) in it is one harf and the Meem (M) in it is one harf." (Tirmidhi, Darimi). -Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "On the day of Qiyaamah(Resurrection) a crown of such brilliance will be placed on the heads of the parents of one who learnt the Qur'an and practised on its laws, that its glitter will outshine the brilliance of the sun which penetrates your houses. What then do you think will be the position of the one who himself learnt the Qur'an and acted in accordance with it?" (Ahmad, Abu Dawud). -Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "He who recites the Qur'an, memorizes it,accepts its halal (lawful things) as halal and haram (forbidden things) as haram (i.e. his beliefs in these matters are correct), Allah Ta'ala will enter him to Jannat and accept his intercession on behalf of ten such persons of his family upon whom entry into Janhannum has become incumbent (i.e. Allah Ta'ala will forgive them because of his intercession)." (Ahmad, Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, Darimi). -Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Continue reciting the Qur'an because on the Day of Qiyaamah it will appear as an intercessor for the reciter." (Muslim). -Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "He who listens to even a single aayat (being recited by another) obtains such a virtue which perpetually multiplies (it increases in thawaab continuously). The one who recited the aayat will on the Day of Qiyaamah find the recited aayat in the form of a Noor (which will be of greater value and significance than the virtue which accrued to the one who had listened to the recitation)." (Ahmad). -Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "The best of you are those who learn the Qur'an and teach it." (Bukhari). -Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "On the Day of Qiyaamah the Qur'an will petition Allah to cloak the one who had recited it with garments of honour and respect. A crown of honour will then be placed on the head of the reciter. The Qur'an will then petition Allah Ta'ala to shower His pleasure on the reciter. Allah will then become pleased with him. The reciter will then be asked to recite the Qur'an, thereby attaining higher ranks of elevation. In reward for each aayat a virtue will accrue to him." (Tirmidhi, Ibn Khuzaimah). -Continue climbing (higher and higher in rank) with your recitation in the same way as you recited with care and concern on earth. Your abode (of residing) is located (at that rank attained) with the last aayat recited. (Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah, Ibn Habbaan). salam wel_mel

Omar ibn al-Khattab Journey to Islam
Assalamo ALikom. Allahu Akbar - Allahu Akbar - Allahu Akbar. Omar was twenty seven when the Holy Prophet began his mission. Young Omar was one of those who did not care to listen to the message of Islam. He was for the old way of life. As years went by, Islam made a slow headway. This made Omar angry. Do what the Makkan(1) chiefs might, people who once went over to Islam never went back to their old faith. One of Omar's own maid-servants became a Muslim. He beat her as much as he could, but she would not give up the new faith. At last in the sixth year of the Mission, a number of Muslims left for Abyssinia. This made Omar boil with rage. "Here is a man," he thought to himself "who has split the people. People lived smoothly enough. He appeared on the scene He has torn son from father and brother from brother. Now his followers are running away to another land. Surely Muhammad is the cause of all trouble. I must slay him and put an end to the trouble." With this resolve Omar drew his sword and set out to kill the Holy Prophet. On the way he met a friend who asked him why he looked so upset. Omar told him what he was going to do. "You better take care of your own kin first," said the friend, "Your sister and her husband have gone over to Islam." These words changed the direction of Omar's anger. He went straight to the house of his sister, Fatima. He knocked at the door. Someone was reciting the Quran inside. Fatima was terrified when she heard Omar's voice. She hid the portion of the Quran she was reading and opened the door. "What was it that you were reciting just now?" Omar demanded. "Oh nothing," said the sister. "Why nothing?" he shouted in rage. "I have heard it alright. I know you both have accepted Muhammad's faith." Saying this, he began to beat his brother-in-law, Saeed. Fatima ran to his help and got a blow to the head. The head began to bleed. This made the couple bold. "Yes, we have become Muslims," they shouted at Omar. "Do what you will." The sight of the bleeding sister deeply moved Omar. Fatima was such a loving sister! Surely there must be some great truth in the Quran which had won her innocent heart. "Would you let me have a look at the Quran?" said Omar. Fatima handed him the few pages of the book she had. Omar sat down to study the pages. Soon his face changed. His anger cooled down. The fear of Allah gripped his heart. He wept and declared, "Surely this is the word of Allah. I bear witness that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah."(2) Omar was again on his way to the place of the Holy Prophet. But he was a changed man. He was not going to slay him but to embrace his faith. The Holy Prophet was sitting in the company of some men. He saw Omar coming and asked, "Omar, what brings you here?" "O Prophet of Allah!" replied Omar, "I have come to embrace Islam." Great was the joy of the Holy Prophet and his followers. Loud shouts of "Allah is Great" rented the air of Mecca. Soon everyone knew that Omar was no longer an enemy of Islam. It was a great day for Islam because one of its bitterest enemies had become its staunch follower. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Footnotes: (1) Makkan is people who lived in Makkah. (2) Although Arabic was their native language, and there were many books written at this time, they had never read a book that can be compared to Qur'an. Many after reading few verses know that this can not be written by any man, so they convert to Islam. source: www.islamway.com salam wel_mel

I'm pretty new to UM. Got into them after seeing the Soundstage video on AXS TV. So I started watching and listening to them on Music-You Tube and bought a couple of albums on iTunes. So I'm a mature fan of 65 and I really wanted to see them in concert, so I bought my brother-in-law a ticket so he'd go to the show with me. Got there early and was almost in the front row.
The music was awesome, although I only recognized 7 of the 17 songs. The thing that made the concert was when they played Ocean Billy, my favorite UM song in the second set. I later found out that I could actually buy the concert. I've been listening to it constantly and am more impressed with it every day. They are an amazing group. I was so lucky to hear Hajimemashite, Draconian, Miss Tinkle's Overture to expand my familiarity with UM's songs. While I originally thought their cover of Layla was OK, listening over and over again...it was a great song to set up Gulf Stream for the finale.
I loved this concert... it was the highlight of my summer. I will definitely be looking for the opportunity to see UM again.

This show was as hot as it was in the venue. First set was absolutely insane to watch. When i relisten to it I am still blown away from how solid and seamless the playing is. Top show of mine.

4th show in 3 years at a great venue. The band really seemed pumped that the house was full and brought the heat! The 'Draconian' opener meandered about for nearly 20 minutes, 'Where is my mind?' surprised and thrilled the crowd, 'Attachments' was amazing and after 10 years I finally caught a 'Nemo'.

Absolute gem of a first set, one of the more underrated of 2008. This Eat/GYM(RH) is one hell of a ride, 36 minutes between two 3 minute songs is no joke.

This was my first show. A non smoking rock show in 2007 was unheard of so I assumed they were squares, my how times have changed. Had no idea who I was seeing. Went to catch a buzz and try to get laid. There was about 400dudes and 9 women. PW into Nemo it was the beginning of a new addiction. Got thrown out about set break for firing up a jib in the joint but ive got it on cd. It was cold as hell that night for Charlotte.

Excellent OTD review of this show on Umphreak Parents Podcast:

Nice (and rare these days) Snake Juice opener. Purportedly one of the best-ever Wappys. Why haven't they been back to play this venue?!

This show was on fire from the beginning with lots of really fun jams. It seemed like the band was really loose and that they were just really excited to be back on the road together. Opening the show with a Jimmy Stewart is a nice bonus and it really set the tone!

This was my first UM show. A buddy told me I had to come with him and his crew. He had introduced me to UM previously and I had seen a few couch tour shows, but to be honest I wasn't totally sold...that was soon to change. At the time I was a 90s hip-hop fan so when they busted out a Regulate during the encore I instantly know that this was the band for me! I'll never forget my first Phil's Farm, Wappy, and Kitchen.

This show had some of the most dark and fire jams I've ever heard from UM. They brought out the Snarky Puppy horn players for Attachments and Call to Arms and ripped em. Would definitely recommend this show as the best of the three night run. However, all three were great.

Fuckin' legendary.
I've only been listening to/going to UM shows for about 6 years, so, obviously, I'm fairly new to the band in the grand scheme of things. Also my first time being able to see the band 3 nights in a row, and in my hometown. Friday night was sick, Saturday (my 10th UM show) was somehow even crazier than that, and then we got hit with this.
When they announced the theme at the beginning of the night it opened up a new world of possibilities. Since they limited themselves to playing one debut from each year, the band must have had to go through a lengthy process choosing which songs to play. The setlist that came out of that process reads like a 'Greatest Hits' album (no pun intended). Heavy hitters the entire show, but still with unique moments where you could tell the band was, as they always are, pushing themselves into new territory within their well established material. I've always loved Umphrey's ability to 'rage, rest, repeat' during their shows, they give their audience time to re-energize before hitting their next shot out of the park, but this show was a very, VERY cool change of pace from the band's 'typical' spiel. No rest, no repeats. Only raging.
If you're an Umphrey's McGee fan you absolutely MUST listen to this show. Absolutely fucking incredible.

Not really sure how a top 2/3 show of all time has zero reviews. Intentions Clear>Syncopated Strangers is still the best piece of improv UM has played, bar none. Robot World is up there with the best versions as well. MAKE 4 SONG SETS GREAT AGAIN!

Such an amazing set but it doesnt show above how Eat is :Eat>Draconian>Eat: i just love these hidden mashup/transitions soo sick
That's because it's not. This Eat contained one of the building blocks that became Draconian. It's just a "Jimmy Stewart", much like 4/11/08 DBK isn't DBK>Cut The Cables>DBK or 9/4/05 3x isn't 3x>Spires>3x. The songs didn't exist yet.

Great Show! Too bad you can't stream on a Roku with the Cleeng service. It took my whole Sunday to get a refund. I'm still getting e-mails from them. They keep telling me that they only take money and "protect" the stream. Not once do they take any responsibility. They say they are not the organizer, nor responsible. What BS!!! When the Roku channel has their name on it, and their name on the bill. The band needs to break away from this shady Cleeng. Whats funny is the band did their job, the streaming crew did their job( It works on a laptop), but yet the Cleeng channel doesn't work. A device built for streaming doesn't work. I guess they think my laptop is the best way to view and listen to music, not my T.V. and high end audio equipment. I can't wait until the band drops this client and moves to a platform like Nugs that actually works.

Great show! The set list doesn't do this show justice. The rendition of Night Nurse is the best version I've personally heard. An incredible Visions > Ain't proud to beg(1,241 show gap) > Red Tape to close the first. Soul Food I, II and just the second Soul Food III ever played and what a great and fun way to open the 2nd set red hot. I always love a decent Conduit followed by Comfortably Numb which is covered in solid UM fashion. 15+ min JaJunk to close the second! Kimble is one of my all time favorites and is always welcomed especially for an encore. Gulf Stream ends the show perfectly! One of the better shows of Winter Tour 2017.

Drove down from Chicago just for this bad boy and then drove back up the next morning for North Coast Festival. Love this venue immediately. Great sound, great crowd, excellent beer section, clean bathrooms, plenty of room to move around.
What a burner. A Bridgeless for the ages. The Utopian > Night Nurse > Utopian > Kashmir is peak Umphrey's for me. Cap it off with a spirited Gulf Stream and the end of Bridgeless was a perfect encore.
Overall just a really fantastic show. Really glad I decided to go for it. Brought 2 virgins to the show and they both loved it and said they'd absolutely go back next time they come around.

Great show. First set was real magic. Second set was a heater. Ringo was on point, jam started off slow and teased so hard....then they just let it rip. Highlight of the show for me for sure. . Partyin peeps was a nice surprise. And the 40s encore was pure sex.
Also on another note....city of tiny lites is part of the life during exodus mashup. So it's on there bubba

OK, 1st off, this show was fantastic. One highlight for me was playing a song by one of my all time favorites - FRANK ZAPPA -yeah im an old man :). UM played a great version of City of Tiny Lites. However, when I look at the setlist here, it is not listed at all. Also, in the Song archives, it is stated that it was only played by UM one time -- 12 years ago! Now, no one believes me when I tell them that they played it (that was not at the show) - please get these facts updated on the site - Thank You!!!!

I know as of this review that Eat doesn't show that they teased Footsteps by Pearl Jam, but they did from about 1:30-3:30. I know that guitar riff anywhere.
Fantastic show. The guys were locked in and ready to play. Absolutely worth the drive back and forth from Chicago and the lack of sleep that resulted. Cant believe I got to see them cover COCHISE! One of my favorite songs ever by any band. Onward & Upward, All Things Ninja, Kula, and the fantastic Out of Order closer were my highlights.

I was hoping for Attachments, and they opened with it. Who picked this set list? It was as if the guys were anticipating a lot of people who hadn't seen them before and decided to give them a potpourri- Puppet String, Nemo, Ringo, Higgins, AIT (of course!), Glory, 1348 and Baba O'Reilly? Quite something. And some of the most creative phrasing I've heard from Brendan. Is he getting better? Scary thought... Threatening skies, but not a drop of rain until they left the stage- as if Heaven were on their side...
This was my second of 11 shows so far, and I urge all to listen to it, for musically it is the best show I've seen. A ?Mild Sedative> The Crooked One with what is a truly moving jam; Loose Ends with the best solo technique and phrasing-wide I have ever heard from Jake. Really! Then Tribute to the Spinal Shaft> Resolution> Cemetery Walk> Ocean Billy with an old version Cut the Cable stuck in the middle. At the end of the 2nd set, Much Obliged with another special jam into an inspired Glory. Truly amazing- I listen to it over and over again.

They won me over. Long time Dead/Phish head here and this was my first UM show...hard to believe after all these years of hearing about them, and even listening to a few shows here and there. But here we are...at Pier Six on a chill night that saw a break in the weather.
My wife and I rolled in and had an awesome time. First set had me hooked. The searing guitar work got me. That Higgins was awesome with the Thunderstruck jam. Then they sink into the Beatles' tune. Grand stuff.
The 2nd set was a dance party through and through. We moved seats at set break and by mid-set found ourselves surrounded by a bunch of younger UM fans, clearly in step with each other. They were having a blast.
Not knowing the songs and the music was a blessing. We had no expectations and left awestruck. Sick show for my money; not sure how it stacks up to seasoned fans' opinions. Met some awesome folks though and look forward to more UM every chance I get.

Standing in front of me is a girl in a tank top and an Umphrey's McGee hat. She keeps flirting with her boyfriend and and egging on her two sisters with a very attractive level of spunk that perfectly represents the ballrooms atmosphere. Every breath I inhale smells of weed and every visage of the crowd full is smiles. As I watch I see rock bulls made of hands shoot bolts of energy straight into the band. They are 15 feet away. Close enough to catch their eye and close for them to catch mine. Another moment of eyes locked and I'm not just an observer; my level of the enjoyment feeds right back into the music and powers the ballroom. Everyone here is a a part of a larger organism that seeps into the soul. Lights blaze and colorful angel-rays pour through the mist. Who knew heaven was full of rainbows. The music gets louder and the bassist looks as if he's been reborn. I feel his music in my chest and wonder what it would be like to have two hearts beating, pounding at my ribs, and telling me it's time to move, but I think I already know.

This was my first UM show. I am still blown away by the night we had. Such positive energy from the crowd and the band. If you're looking for technical info about the songs, sorry. As it was my first show I can't compare it to anything. It felt like full throttle all night to me. I guess the rumors are true. UM are good. I enjoyed #5 a lot and pretty much the second set in it's entirety was madness. It felt like eating a bowl of asparagus tips. No stalks to chew through.

The Sandpoint shows were special, but this one in particular fulfilled all expectations, and then some.
An 18-minute opening Conduit with not one but two extended yams? Check. A five-song first set? Check. A songlist show? Check. An incredibly small, intimate venue with superb sound in a breathtakingly beautiful corner of this troubled planet? Check.
By set break, I was already satiated up to my eyeballs. And yet as such things go, I was still jonesing for more (never enough Umph!).
And as amazing as the first set was, the best was somehow still to come.
The second set is an amazing creation of perfect symmetry. The first three songs flow seamlessly (with Jake playing none other than Jerry Garcia's infamous Travis Bean 500 guitar!) into a long sought after Search 4 hinging into another continuous three-song tryptic of sonic wonder, and possibly my favorite combined moment of this show -- which already runneth over with riches. Which is to say that ITK- > No Comment > Rock the Casbah is the Real Deal. One heck of a party that.
And for good measure, the Plunger/ITK/Plunger sandwich encore sent us spinning out into the snowy night still dancing a perma-grin jig.
All in all, this show has it all. Perfect on-the-fly song selection, execution, and exploration. Could not have asked for more.

First off, great show, just wish it was longer. Lettuce was a cool opening act, however, not many were there to enjoy it unfortunately.
Because of the co-headline, they got a shorter set but they got right to work. Junk was solid right out of the gate, and the bottom>anchor>linear>non-compliance was great. They have not played non-compliance alot, which is a shame cause it has a sweet riff and a top 5 stew song for me. Plunger was a weird kinda funky different jam, and clearly pretty good as it landed on the HOF 2015. The rest of the set was great too, nothing crazy, but great songs with solid jams throughout. The encore for me, made the show. Booth Love with the Eminence jam into DBK was so cool. Haji is always great and the back half of DBK finished off a truly solid night for the guys. Cheers.

First time UM concert goer impressions.
First impressions. I don’t know HOW they remember how all their songs go. It’s like Homer telling the Odyssey. Super impressive. Brendan and Jake. You are the dynamic fulcrum of the band. Jake is the unapproachable guitar wizard and Brendan is the friendly, compassionate frontman. They are the heart and soul of the band. and enhance each other. Big tumbs up to Ryan (nice Celtics jersey), Kris (nice vocal on I Got Love), Joel (beautiful keyboard break, esp during Gents) and Andy (or was it you on I Got Love). It’s one thing for one performer to be able to do it, but to have all 6 locked in, plus the Shady Horns (nice breakdown on Bad Friday), is unique.
1 Best song of the night for me was Gents, the opener. As a newbie this was sort of the pu pu platter of the UM experience. Everyone gets a little light under the sun.
2 I Got Love - which i didn’t know at the time (Nate Dogg) was a good inclusion. And it makes me think, their covers are pretty much gonna be confined to songs by acts that are no longer really doing it. I like that. So who else did west coast rap in Boston in 2016? I like that.
3 Bad Friday - Yes we all watch Around the horn, so you couldn’t go wrong. And it was a hot nasty Friday in Boston in front of a wilted, lackluster audience. The Shady Horns got to stretch out during this one too.
4 The guy who yelled “Free Tom Brady” right before Wizard Burial Ground.
1 Sorry but I was REALLY hoping for Glory. It had been 6 shows, and I thought it was due. But that’s just me. High hopes low expectations. Having said that…Glory is nothing short of a 21st century classic rock CLASSIC. The whole world should get to hear this song. Truly remarkable and truly one of a KIND.
2 The weather was horrible and sticky and like I said, and it was the end of a long Augist week. The audience seemed pretty wilted. And the band seemed a bit frustrated with that. Or maybe I’m projecting. And they took it out on the music. Hard and heavy all night. Very few light moments. Not a lot of smiling.
Fun to be Happy - Love Tractor. Listen to it, learn it, play it live. It’s perfect for UM.
PS Brown Sabbath was GREAT for the 18 or 19 of us who were there in time to see them.

I just finished listening to this show, two days after the fact, in three different sittings. But wow, even remotely, audio only, with interruptions, this show shines. Liquid velvety smoothness throughout. They were locked in from note one and feeling good. The first five songs (of a six song first set) flow effortlessly into one other, with Mad Love tacked on for good measure. I'm always a sucker for Miami Virtue, as it so often lends itself as a pliable launching pad, and this excursion is top notch. Set 2 keeps the flow going with many high water marks. Everything in it's right place. Their playing this night is inspired and relaxed. Great start to this year's Southern run.

Its been near 12 and a half years later . . . and I still listen to this show for the great lead off into a classic, gritty Phil's Farm and the intimacy of the venue. The Witz End was a small bar/supper club in the middle of nowhere that couldn't fit more than 75 people, tops. The show was the day AFTER the famed "Steve Bartman" game, and prior to the show a group of us UW-Pointers went early for pre-show beers, and were fortunate enough to imbibe and visit with the band and watch the Cubs playoff game. They were not happy about the previous day's Bartman game, and went into the show even more downtrodden due to a Cubs Game 7 loss immediately before the show began. Yet, a fantastic and intimate show in a great, classic Wisconsin atmosphere. Sadly, the Witz End later burned to the ground.
Great show on the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point (my alma mater). A great time, and notably Set 2 was incredible. Kinda a strange venue, but this show will always hold a place in my heart, if only because (at the time) it was home.
Amazing show in a small venue in Northern Wisconsin. Hard to believe it happened over 11 years ago. Lots of firsts in this show for me personally - a great Africa, and an absolutely ripping NTF and Jimmy Stewart. A personal favorite. This show remains in my listening rotation 11 years later!

Among this particular west coast run, from Sandpoint, IDaHO, to The City of Angels: purring galore went down, catnip was fresh and organic, and -- (this night!) -- to my furry ears, was the cat's meow. First set, contender for favorite of the 10; set two is strong throughout but somewhat front loaded. Minor quibble for such high caliber executions unfolding as a single point of boundary dissolving music.

This show is incredible. Both first and second sets have character. I was stoked to hear In The Black live for the first time, I think this song is one of their best yet and can't wait to hear it recorded in the studio. 2nd Self and Utopian Fir are both Hall of Fame worthy. I've never seen an UM crowd so fired up than during the Utopian Fir jam -- the entire place was bouncing like it was a god damned rave... it was a beautiful thing to be a part of.
The second set Cemetery Walk sandwich is delicious. It really pulls the whole thing together and the CW II ending is one of the most incredible musicial moments I've ever seen live -- Waful deserves some credit here too because the synchronicity between the band and the lighting at the end of that song was surreal.
Farag singing Dirty Love was fun and perhaps a foreshadowing of the Arthur Barrow sit-in that took place two days later at the Wiltern in LA.
Encore was meaty and satisfying, Andy's Last Beer being the spinner.
Nothing short of an amazing show here. Tahoe represent!

This is the best Speak Up you're going to hear. Example 1, Push the Pig, Space Funk Booty are great with horns.
Solid show, but the first night of Beacon was far superior in every way. Auf>HBB was perfect. Speak Up is a funky new tune. Ocean Billy>Gents>1348 is a great way to end a set.
Bad Friday is ok, but the jam it leads to is excellent. Same with ITK, not my favorite tune, but great jam. This seems to be the case with these songs live. Haj - speaker blows, don't download by itself. Tom Sawyer fucking rocks. BB is a god.
This was a pretty kick ass show. Phil's Farm has a great jam and then Great American has a sweet jam that kind of sounds like an alternate version of the jam on Phil's. 2x2 is always a treat. They slayed both parts of N2F, as usual, and the Stewart with vocals on Plunger will make a cool song someday. It doesn't rage but Jake shows off some of his finesse on the strings taking some beautiful solos. HBB is a beast to end it with a Joel heavy atmospheric jam.

Of the top 5 list of my favorite UM shows are both times I've seen these guys at Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom. Something about the small stretch of coastline we got in NH seems to bring out the best in people there, for the crowd and band. The Ratdog and Jim Gaffigan shows I saw had performers and crowd alike having a ball. Keeping coming to the beach fellas and bring back Proverbial! Thanks for that, John Scofield and some of the most fun I ever had in my home state that night

All in Time pt. 1 lets Jake show off his chops. The chops are tight. They really rip the first part of AIT. Pony rides on Mulche's, and Kimble is always a beaut.
#5, ridiculously good. Wormbog stole the show "I think they just made a baby" is what Brendan says after Joel praises Redman and Jake just crushing the Prof. Ringo is great, and the N2F encore will melt your face. It rips.
Best DBK you'll hear. Josh Redman adds a lot to the tunes he performs on. Miss Tinkle's Mind Left Body jam is straight fire. This is a very nice Blue Echo, as well.

Auf Wiedersehen great opener especially for the transition into Hurt Bird Bath; which was high intensity and a great start. The 2nd self was solid. My favourite version so far. Speak Up- new song great song! Won't be surprised if they bust that out more often. 1348>Ocean Billy was absolutely nuts! I was amazed. The Billy was only enhanced when Andy and Kris took it into Drums then back into Billy!!! AAAAAH! 2nd time live best version I've heard. The boys knocked this show out of the park. They broke out Gents and BOOSH back into 1348 End set.
Set 2- What the hell are they gonna blow my mind with now? Usually comes to mind
Bad Friday- great song, nice groove, a good call. The Floor always solid. Gotta love Ryan for what came next: Wappy Sprayberry... Yes! then into a JaJunk!!! 1st time I remember seeing this one live so great to be a part of. The crowd was fully into the show by this point. It was attention grabbing. The Similar Skin was a great follow up! The In The Kitchen was amazeballs! The Rhiannon jam back into In The Kitchen!!! So epic! Great call guys! The Hajii was my 1st Blown Speaker Hajii so that was unforgettable. Encore Tom Sawyer only RUSH does it better but I mean Come On! It was so fuckin' SICK!!
My favourite Facebook Message after the show: Fuck you! U fucking fuck!
10th show 18th B-Day Show for Umph. Goonville was cool. I never know where the created openers lead but to have it drop into Plunger was awesome. I will give nothing away but, the Banter in this show between the band and the crowd is priceless. 40's was good as usual. "Pick up a couple a New York City 40s" In the Black was solid. Better than Athens I thought. Roulette was totally a highlight. Unexpected and always welcome; but to have that go into Kimble!! SO SICK. My buddy wants to dick punch me for that one. Attachments newer song, great song. 1st time I've heard it live. The Rocker Part 2 filled out the monster and as always a great way to end set. Irreplaceable.
All in Time- Having heard it broken up in Athens; to hear it start to finish was just what the doctor ordered. Crowd. Hyped. Knew something got teased wasn't sure what but to find out Kris pulled out the end... Very cool. Booth Love I heard this home in Toronto in 2011 when they played the MOD Club. This one was waaay better! Plus the you belong to the city tease and priceless banter from Jake. Wicked. I'm thinking push the tempo up and the next song they pull out is Bridgeless! Yes! Unfinished jammed into Remind Me. Nicely done boys! The tribute to spinal shaft was just rockin' best one yet. It had the Xxplosive tease and Jake played around a bit with the strumming but it wasn't Still Dre like a few dudes in front of me thought. Rather than educate I felt they would figure it out later. BOOSH back into Bridgeless, Ryan was killing it. End set.
Encore Space Oddity >Fame. I thought wicked Bowie tribute and the mashup was unexpected and awesome! So happy to have been apart of UM history.

Roulette highlighted the first set. Attachments is a pretty cool new one and Rocker 2 brought it's typical crushing beauty. The second set caught fire with the Bridgeless sandwich of all sandwiches. This thing could feed Africa, it was so tasty.

Solid show all around; Myers's Drums & Waful's Lights (particularly his transition of colors) were the standout performances of the night. And that was all capped off with a great rendition of "Tom Sawyer" – I'm assuming in response to the fan who kept posting requests for a RUSH cover.

I can't remember exactly when I first heard this show, but I believe it was my freshman year of college, so let's say early 2005. I had just heard about this Humphrey's band and was looking to check them out. Somehow, I came into possession of this gem of a live concert, and soon enough, I would have a new favorite band.
The first set is gold. A standard Mulche's opener led to an OG version Haunt, followed by one of my favorite Jazz Odyssey's. Patient jazzy 2004 UM at their best. Sociable and 40's are both standard versions, followed by the Pequod/Ahab sandwich, a simple composition but one that is among my favorites. A blazing Senor Mouse cover sets the tone for FF and the peaking jam out of it. The improv starts out a bit reminiscent of Fire on the Mountain, before evolving into a blistering peak much like the 2/21/2004 FF. Robot World and a tasty Black Water cover round out set 1.
The second set picks up where the first leaves off; luckily for the listener, we don't have to sit through the 1 hour fire marshall-induced set break like the show's attendees! The band came out with a vengeance, as Much Obliged gets some nice treatment before making way for Haji and a 20 minute version of HBB. Fairly ordinary versions of Bottom Half and Crooked One sandwich a briefly extended Triple Wide. The unique dichotomy of Kat's Tune and the Metallica cover round out the set; the 20 minute FP encore with a verse of Kashmir melded in is a great close to a classic setlist.
There have been shows with more improv, and higher quality improv, but the smattering of jams throughout, the excellent flow and song selection, and some tight-ass playing of the compositions make this show an all-timer for me. It definitely does not hurt that this was also my first introduction to the band, along with 2/7/2004.

You'll have to forgive the spelling mistakes in my review of night one. Seems I can't edit it. Night 2. Any consecutive show we should all remember 3 simple rules. Rage. Rest. Repeat. I mean REPEAT night 2 was just more enjoyable. Found company with people I met night one and when you make new friends its always a better show.
Didn't know what to expect given what was done to my brain night 1. Shout out to Brendan Joel Chris Andy Ryan and Jake who didn't get enough love. One weird thing I realized no Joel Chant night 1... The slack was picked up night 2 but lets start with the Preamble. Nice! 1st time seeing it but you always know that Mantis is going to follow. But we got the Mantis Ghets, Mantis 2/3rds. But it was the greatest 2/3rds I've heard and experienced. I saw them playing it all singing and I was singing along, although not as well. All I can say is when you remember what a Song is like after seeing it live you develop a deeper connection with that song. I have a new appreciation for mantis. Moving on. Alexs House... everyone was groovin'out to the light show I'm pretty sure that its rare. So I felt lucky. But it went into 40's! JAKE THREW IT DOWN that was hype. ABSOULUTELY NO ONE IN THIS BAND IS A SLOUCH Brendan was solid, Joel was steady. Chris is always mystifying to me. He's the hardest working guy and the quietest, well him and Andy. Andy is the essential percussive support that really helps fill the gaps. Ryan's usally good for 1 thing to the crowd. Night 1 was I think you guys are the loudest crowd ever. Wicked version. Moving on Example 1 with Demolition Man tease(so cool) was not only good transition musically in my opinion kept the vibe going. I remember that Brendan and Jake brought out the 2 custom really block looking guitars for this they seemed to have fun playing them and the sound was good but, not as good as their regular guitars. I had no clue what to expect next. Then, Room To Breathe AAAHH so good. Only to be followed up by a No Diablo that really hit home with the crowd and took the vibe to 11. The In the Black was super impressive because it went straight into Mantis end set 1. I had to pee since Mantis so I booked it to the bathroom and then bought more beer.
Set 2 You see what happens when you chant Joel.
Divisions opener. Divisions is a great song. One of my favourites. But I was honestly glad it was played right away. The Roundabout tease was unexpected and 100% awesome. Dump City was SO GOOD but people kept asking me what song it was and that sucked. Little Gift never heard before it was a beautifully written song. INTO SLACKER What! Boosh! Totally into it. I think this was when the Joel Chant happened then Conduit. It might have been after Conduit but I remember the chant and partaking in its glory. JOEL, JOEL JOEL JOEL JOEL JOEL JOEL I also remember Brendan saying Do you see what happens when you chant Joel. LIFE DURING EXODUS IS WHAT HAPPENS with a wicked Fleetwood Mac tease(Riannon )and a 1348 encore is what happens! So epic. I hope I never lose my memories of these 2 nights at the Georgia Theatre.

Let me start by saying that I flew from Toronto, Ontario Canada to see both nights at the Georgia Theatre. The extra money I spent to fly in was so worth it!
The Gurgle opener was a perfect call in my opinion. The anticipation you could feel in the crowd reached its peak. House Lights came off and BAM! They came out like yeah WHAT'S UP!
The Push the Pig had all the fatness of Waa and bass you may have come to expect. They get better every time. The lights added to the enjoyment of the song and then with very little pause Jake starts a solo (masterfully precise as per usual) that lead into a wicked Soul Food I could not believe what was going to come up. The Similar Skin to follow got everybody in the place jumping. It was packed! Everybody was having a good time, rocking out sharing smokeables in various forms. The energy you feel when you see them perform the songs that just connect with you is whats unforgettable about the live show. When you hear the studio tracks and think How? TO SEE IT ALL HAPPEN mind blowing. These guys are just super tight. Have set up hand signals for changes and always listen to each other. The crowd was cheering so much I have to download the live shows to hear what Joel Brendan Jake and Ryan were saying because I cant be sure. The ALL THINGS NINJA fucking loved it. I did hear Brendan say it was someones 250th show and you that you dont always give them what they want you gotta give em what they need. Man did I need to hear that track. After that show I realized there was a hole in my All Things Ninja T-Shirt but I wore it. So that was awesome. The All in Time>Mad Love was unexpected, amazing , beautiful, awesome.... Again shout out to the light show because it really added to the amazingness of the composition of their songs. Set break must beer and more smokeables exchanged.
The Floor best version I've heard but that was like the 4th time for me so although very good I was hoping for an epic tease that never came.
2x2-What YES! That's all I had to say. Took me minute to recognize the part of No More Tears that was teased. RESPECT. Cannot say enough about the talent that is possessed in every member of this band. Just when you think there might be one that overshadows another in the band they show you how well they play as a hole. Every member is essential to their consistently mind blowing shows.
The Bad Friday was sick! Loved it. Nuff said. The Haji was amazing> All in time again. A bit of Georgia Love I guess reaching back to the Tabernackle run... but I liked it better because I was there for this one. Again seeing it live 100x better than blasting it in your headphones. If memory serves the Hangover had a little Break Out The Booty Wags (ITS MONDAY NIGHT!) Epic.
Tickles-5th time best time. Come Closer not seen since encore night 2 summercamp '08. That gave me flashbacks.
Masterful Show.

It kind of blows my mind how only a trickle of people gush digital hyperboles after UM shows, considering how they bring It to every single one of their multitudinous appearances. Picking this particular outing to reveal a highly acute (or obvious, depending on which side you fall on) insight could almost be arbitrary. But this show is anything but hyperbole or arbitrary, at least in the ways it bounces around between my ears. And I wasn't even there! Something about the song selection all by its partial and lonely self, tickles my pleasure-gizzard, not to say mum about all the other scratched surfaces and pushed buttons. Where's the love?

Chris Mitchel's 500th show and he was the set list writer this night. The show starts strong and just gets stronger to the end. The show is along Umphrey's harder, heavier, darker side, with a little bit of dance party added in for good measure. Songs ranging from the early umph catalog to the most current.
five stars or how ever you want to rate it.
It melts your face.

Man, where to start... First set while rather a "slow start" was still an amazing group of tunes. The power outage sucked, but i think the band made up for it with the stew that made a rather boring Educated Guesses a monumental rawk piece. The second set started off with a bang and failed to slow down. If that tinkles doesn't get at least an honorable mention for HOF, then I don't know what does. This show is worth a listen or two, check it out, overall would give it a 7.5-8/10

My first UM show, also. Incredible show. They played for what seemed like the whole night and it didn't stop because moe. takes over one by one during "Jam" and filled the intermission with a few moe. originals before turning it back over to the boys.
Pretty amazing show here. Don't miss this Gents and bass heavy Wappy. The Ringo is 20+ minutes of brilliance. Huge energy from Educated Guess all the way though the second set.

I'll attempt a full review later, after some sleep from this epic weekend (just got back to NYC from Baltimore).
But I will say that there was a Bulls On Parade jam during Conduit, about 6:30 they begin to tease it for a minute until Kris comes in with the vocals and the full out jam, until 9:12 when they come back into Conduit.

Great show, saw them Friday too, and this was my first time seeing them this year.
Great rapport with crowd and very high energy, they also played a fantastic mix for veteran fans as well as newbies.
Saw my first Moccasin!!!
Another great set of shows that solidified my belief that this band gives you a show truly unlike any other!

Maybe not at quiet the same level of energy and magic as the night before, but this was still one heck of a dance party and good time. A juicy Mantis sandwich in the second set containing the most unforgettable, accurate, and powerful cover of the Pixies' "Where Is My Mind?" I have ever encountered (Patrick rocked the Casbah!). Then to top it off, the Radiohead/Beck/Phil Collins mash-up for an encore had to be seen/heard to believe. I can no longer resist the momentum of this music.
Right up front, this was my first Umphrey's McGee show. Holy guacamole. Most likely you know the rest of the story. First set was offdahook. Miami Virtue, Ja Junk>...>...>JA Junk sandwich. Followed by a scorching second set without nary a throwaway either. These guys are the real shiznit.

The first set was stellar. When they played Wappy so early, I knew we were in for a great night of straight UMPHunk! The Bottom Half and Syncopated Strangers were the highlights of the first set even though Led Boots > Mulche's was a great way to end the set.
The second set was priceless! Hands down one of the best sets of music ive ever seen. It wasn't even fair. Every song was perfectly placed. The Dump city and crooked one were of premium quality. Perfect night for a flawless show.
The encore took me back to my childhood and i couldnt help but boot scoot boogie. Best UMPH show yet for me!

After weeks of being snowed in, we made the ride to Portland. Word was the Couch Tour stream unable to happen, there was a full blown snow squall at doors open with near white-out conditions that made it an adventure right up to the gate.. and the room energy was certainly high as the audience trickled in from the cold wind and snow. Tauk opened. My first time hearing those guys live and it was a great experience that drew in those cold feet for the first round of dancing. I'll focus on UM here though.
Set I. While the room sound is not the greatest at the State, a little boomy at best, the music was excellent. Most of first set was spent in the balcony. All of second set was spent grooving on the Goldside. Listening back to the umlive version now, it starts out very energetic. A nice Drink My Drank into The Floor. Divisions takes off, drops a mad drum jam in the midst and finds it way off to a smooth Stanton (2nd time played). After dancing around that theme they return back to Divisions for a good wrap-up with some nice belts from Brendan.
My personal feeling at this point is the band feels like the eyes of the world are off them a bit. Stream is cut off, no one but us is watching. They aren't rushing and its very electrified. The band is beaming. I like it. Mulche's Odyssey kicks off with some tight energy and is another example of some of the wild execution they nail tonight. Yet again, frenetic pace but patiently done. The mid-song groove is heavy and dirty, gives way to the main theme, and drops into a pleasant funk zone that is peppered with some nice spacey, padded out jams. Doesn't take long for the night's abundant energy to come back either! Back on the Mulche's theme proper, and I'd just say listen. This speaks for itself. Umphrey's is doing exactly what they do best and it is certainly a stand out moment of the first set for me. Short breather, and we get to the nights first Similar Skin offerings.
The Linear starts out strong, solid version. Vocals are on point, Jake peppers the lines with some fun guitar work throughout. The bottom drops out, we fall into a very ambient zone. Getting that sensation again that we're a cut off from the world. Guitar gently teases the chords to Cut The Cable and there it is. Tight playing, great vocals. Really dug this! Short and to the point. Another pretty decent pause. Again not feeling any sense of being rushed in this! They pull out October Rain and it is thoughtful and precise from the get go. I haven't heard this song live, and was impressed with its styling. Quick breath and we drop into Live and Let Live. Solid version, strong playing throughout. Nice way to end a strong set with some familiar tunes and some I'd never seen played live before. Notable songs for me were Mulche's, October Rain, Live and Let live.
Set II begins with Bridgeless and is a solid rocking opener for the later night. Vocals are good, playing tight as well. There is no sense they lost that pace from first set. A punctuated jam space gives way to Hang Up Your Hang Ups another second time played offering. Nothing lacking in this song either, and the band plays on through a few iterations with an intense Joel driven segment near the end. Feel like getting in the van? Yes Brendan, we do. Get in the Van is solid, executed flawlessly. After a ride around Portland in the van, we park ourselves back under the Bridgeless. The intense high-speed chase that is the end of Bridgeless runs wonderfully and well.
"This one's for you, Joel." Counterpoint to the set start in pocket, FF rises from the mid-set fire - a gift from Brendan to Joel - which is wrapped to suit in execution that's defined the show overall. Tight, energetic, and very fun to dance to. Darker themes begin to play the end of FF with a return to some deep ambiance. We drop into Made to Measure. This song follows the trend of an night full of great offerings. Some really cool guitar work accompany the stomping piano lines, with vocals from the band on par with the music. We're never ever slowing down, and when we hit groove time it's unique and rhythmically piano driven. I'm beginning to really dig the prominent Joel tonight. Lose yourself teases and a smooth hip hop element round out the end of Made to Measure before rocketing off into 40's Theme back to an absolutely electric pace. 40's Theme never fails to deliver for me, and this is no different. Well done, and totally jammin'. The texture turns smooth and funky as the song progresses. Bit of a breather again, compared to the rest of set II!
The band introductions go 'round and a little Game of Thrones theme comes out before we hit the End of the Road. Sweetly played, with some arrangement much unlike the studio version. Definitely a cool space presented here that rolls nicely into Roulette. Roulette carries on with the nice execution of the night. Good vocal harmonies over the verses. "Question is, are you guys read to rock?" Slacker jumps and jams its way to the close of set II. Great version, and very lively! It builds to an excellent crescendo that doesn't want to quit. Now they've played a few great gigs in Portland in past years though this may well be an example of the best they've given us so far in my opinion. A combination of a very choice set list and top notch execution throughout. Notable songs for set II were Made To Measure, 40's Theme, and Slacker.
Encore: The Triple Wide. A favorite of mine, and what can be said that hasn't already been said about this one. Just as good as the rest of the show, and a fitting close to a great night.

Outstanding show last night. I guess that is to be expected as UM is batting 1.000 at The Calvin. Some of my friends were sort of "meh" on the first set, but I disagree. Set one was bookended by two great pieces of improv in Fir and The Haunt. I was ecstatic to get both of those tunes in the same set. Admittedly the middle of the set (while well played) didn't pack the punch that the rest of the show did. The Nemo/AD sandwich was well executed but most of us diehard fans would have preferred a jam in Nemo in place of Anchor Drops, c'est la vie. I don't love Deeper, but the ethereal jam that came out of it was nice. A standard Billy was cut short by Bayliss on the talkback mics. This was a great move IMO as it allowed for The Haunt to really have room to stretch its legs. Jake was all over the Haunt jam conducting the band and being the mad stork that he can be up on stage. Truly a frenetic and awesome Haunt jam, I hope that it holds up on tape.
While set one was "good solid Umphrey's," set two was the stuff that makes me keep seeing these guys and makes it easy to provide an answer when asked: "who is your favorite band?" The Preamble fakeout into JaJunk was a nice twist and the JaJunk jam absolutely crushed. We were in for a real throwdown in set two as something clicked onstage and we were to treated incredibly compelling improv over the rest of the set. JaJunk, MO, LMS, BLBC and Sociable Jimmy ALL had great jams in them. I need a relisten to opine on Brendan's lyrical stew out of Much Obliged but every jam in set two delivered. There was a"middle eastern metal" (a section played during a past UMBowl S2 quarter) jam coming out of Last Man Swerving that was one of several highights in the set. I have been fortunate over the past few years to catch some 99th percentile UM shows (10/29/14, 8/8/14, 10/18/12 and 4/28/12 are good examples) and honestly I am not sure I have seen a better and more interesting set than set two last night. I should probably wait for the afterglow to wear off or to at least have a relisten via the UMlive app, but frankly I don't need it. What an awesome set of music. The Soul Food II>Soul Food I>end of Mantis encore was just icing on the proverbial cake (I also thought I head some Bad Poker teases from Jake in SFI but will need to confirm). There aren't enough superlatives to describe just how great last night's show (with emphasis on the second set) was. The song selection was also incredible. To get two highly sought after rarities like The Haunt and Last Man Swerving in the same show is enough of a treat in and of itself. One thing that is notable is that there weren't any tunes from Similar Skin played (this also happened on 10/29/14) and that was somewhat refreshing. While I love the SS material, gettting a "rest" from some of the songs that have been in heavy rotation since the album dropped helped to enhance the flow of the setlist/show. This is not a critique of SS or the frequency with which some of those tunes are played, just an observation. Folks who are looking for a sterling example of what UM is capable of would do well to check this show out. It was special.

If only there were words to describe this night. Easily the best setlist I have ever seen or heard live, Puppet String and Rocker 2 are some of the best jams I've heard possibly ever. Not to mention the 6 first set rarities.
I Want You (She's So Heavy) nearly caused the Ryman to crumble to do the energy in the room. The crowd was into it from note one. Not to mention the first ever and absolutely incredible Rocker, Rocker 2 combo.
Second set is near perfection, whether it's improv or standard songs the placement and execution of everything is seriously A+ stuff. All In Time encore featured the latest "Cigarette Cables" lyrical stew.
This was seriously one of the best shows I have ever seen, the room was insane and the energy was indescribable. Very thankful to have been in attendance.

This show was a high-energy jam fest right from the start. Fir, Divisions, August, and Dump City were particularly inspired. The Puppet String freak out > the end of Bridgeless brought the house down, and Bayliss absolutely nailed "Sledgehammer." I give it a 9.2 out of 10.

Stellar show from first note to the very end of Gulf Stream. After the night before with the incredible mashups of Halloween, I was not sure what to expect after hearing stuff like All in Time, Ocean Billy, N2F, and the insane opener of 1348/Kitchen. Cut the Cable got things going fast and then they laid into some of the best jams I have ever heard with The Floor, Higgins and Slacker both awesome highlights of the first set.
The Second set started with an unbelievable bridgeless, den, and bridgeless, which was the first 30mins of the set and left the audience stunned. Kashmir and Pay the Snucka were really strong to end the set and Kashmir in particular were very impressive. The band was super tight throughout the whole night and after a night of great mashups it was awesome to see them lay into a really strong show full of improv. This night I also stood a bit further back to appreciate the lights (night before I was rail) and the lights as always are an amazing part of the band. Waful always does an incredible job and this night was no different.
The encore was incredible and choosing Gulf Stream to close out the weekend was awesome. After two incredible nights of music and hanging out with the band as part of UmVip, capping off the weekend with Gulf was the best choice they could have made. It was my first time experiencing Halloween with UM and I look forward to many more shows with them in the near future!! mm/.

I was sort of skeptical of this show's prospects when the band neglected to jam out of the opening JaJunk, dropping right into Booth Love from JaJunk part I. Luckily, the gift of hindsight allows me to feel foolish for doubting a winter ter 2011 show. Turn & Dub is a contender for best version ever; excellent second jam in this one. Improv was also neglected in the PtP > Deeper > PtP sammich, with a drop right into the second half of JaJunk to close a pretty pedestrian first set.
The second set is where shit took off: huge standalone Mulche's, standalone B1/2 with a nice lyrical, Bombtrack with Ilya for the br0z (should've been Sludge & Death!), and a CWII that eschewed the usual 4 on the floor thump for a more atypical, jazzy jam built over two Jake progressions. Sociable, Andy's, and National Anthem is a run of songs I'd be happy to catch at any show. The encore Bird Bath was short, but the Imperial March jam was super choice.
Setlist orgasm. At the time, I remember leaving the show wondering what the hell they would play the next few nights. It seemed like they were unloading all of their heavy hitter songs in one go. Standalone Kitchen and Bridgeless are the highlights of the first set. Kitchen started with some uplifting JC/BB riffs and kept that progression going for a bit, allowing Joel a nice little Rhodes solo. BB cleaned the slate, and the band (particularly Joel and his synth) turned the vibe towards an extremely dance-friendly feel after a pretty heavily teased return to the composition. The eventual return to Kitchen from the second theme of 'prov was very patient and nicely done. Bridgeless's jam really took off over an ominous, plodding bassline from Stasik, doubled by Joel on synth, and the playing stayed loose, covering a fair amount of ground. Catching a Haunt was a treat and the jam leading out of it was enjoyable but a step below the Kitchen and Bridgeless jams, for my taste. Divisions was a fairly concise version.
Conduit had a nice jam to start the second set strong, but I can't recall anything else being particularly noteworthy. When they fired up N2F for the encore, I got excited, with visions of a standalone encore monster a la 10/17/2007 dancing in my head, so it was a bit disappointing to have the lyricless covers take the place of any improv.
Really enjoyed this show live...classic 2011 UM shit. The opening AIT had a nice jam. Never can catch the Red Tape teases but the Life During Wartime tease was very apparent live and on tape. Butter smooth segue into PS. The Water > Day Nurse > August section felt a little disjointed with the juxtaposition of Water's tight composition, the electro-dance of Nurse, followed by a soaring August. The August jam would eventually become the opening riff of Similar Skin. Deeper jam was decent but not particularly noteworthy.
The AIT drop out of Prowler kind of caught me off guard. I thought for sure that would be saved until the end of the second set. 1348 seemed like it was about to take off when they segued to 2x2. I wish they had milked that jam a bit more. 2x2 is always a pleasure to catch. The band really liked the Tink's/Masoka Tanga pairing in 2011. I recall it happening a couple times. If they really did play Billie Jean off the cuff for the encore, that's fucking sweet. The crowd ate it up and it provided a nice transition into the second half of 1348.
TL; DR - All In Time, August, and 1348 are the highlights. Solid show all around.

One of the best shows I have seen in 120+. The energy in that room was off the charts and the band was really feeding off of it. Such a great setlist of rarities and "non-standard" stuff for a Friday night show. The improv (particularly the sandwiches that opened each set) is outstanding. This one holds up well on tape but also has a strong "you had to be there" vibe because of the raucous energy. One of the most fun live experiences I have had at a show and a soundboard with plenty of replay value. This is the leader in my clubhouse for show of the year, 2014...

With the Heat and the fireworks this show was one for the books. Great versions of Rocker pt duex and Water (seems legit playing right next to a river.) Then somewhere around the merge into Syncopated Strangers from Tribute things got explosive. Fireworks from the Cubs farm club stadium went off...it was quite the treat but not the only one...As Walking on the moon started getting deep...the Des Moines pops go the fourth fireworks went off...if you DL the show you can hear the fireworks going off and how the band especially Jake played into them making for one memorable first set. 2nd Set was fire from the start into a miami vice vibe twords the end. Best All in Time sandwich ever! Africa also seemed fitting once again due to the heat. Which was brought by mother nature and our friends our pals....Umphrey's McGee.

This was a very intimate show, probably 60 of us in the audience, and most all from the US. The guys were on rented amps, and drums and limited effects so the sould was different. Cool venue. Another interesting fact, the Eagles were in the o2 arena next door.

Umphrey's first sell out show at Red Rocks never disappointed throughout the entire evening. A debut opener was to be expected from such a magical venue and the first sell out which will hopefully bring two nights at the rocks next year. Melded perfectly into conduit which has a great rock/psychedelic jam to it that reaches a good level and dumps off into a standard version of cut the cable. Jajunk gets the treatment and ends up being one of my favorite jams of the night. Joel takes it to another level with the dance infused funk keys, but the entire band is on point and brings jajunk to a place like I've never heard before... Seamless transition into an always welcomed Ocean Billy which set the tone for the first set and let you know that it was going to be a rager of an evening. Awesome placement and choice on putting Gents in the jam portion of ocean billy. Originally an in the kitchen jam which has gotten the Umbowl treatment but I believe was first at the Belly Up in aspen last year. It has an in and out jam which keeps dumping back and forth and has a great tone. This is one cranked up All in Time next that has instant classic rocker written all over it. Midway through the jam in All in Time I can remember thinking that the first set was already nuts and they would be wrapping up the first set after that. But then we got the always gorgeous notes from Jake playing Jerry's 74 guitar to end of the road. Educated Guess was an awesome treat to get debuted and was playing in my head throughout the next morning. Set 2 opens with Jake calling out Kris Myers on the kit and getting right down to it with the second Little Gift which has some good rock qualities that get you in the UM frame of mind. Bridgeless is where the band starts to jump off and take us into a jam filled evening with fresh takes on everything being played. Very rock/funk oriented bridgeless that no one wanted to ever end which moves into the funky dance groove of Bad Friday. Dominic Lalli blows up on Bad Friday and there wasn't a person not dancing in that place. My second favorite jam of the night came with Dump City... I went absolutely nuts when I heard the first notes of dump city, and I feel this song should get the treatment way more often! Very dark oriented space groove that allows the listener to dance but also blast off into a little weirder space. Slacker has a good jam on it that has Joel offering some really fresh licks on the piano and a good old nostalgic rock and roll feel to it. Wappy sprayberry offers its typically awesome dance party and it never ceases to amaze me how many different jams they keep putting into this song. A fitting back side of Jajunk to close out the night and let everyone know how far UM has come as a band and being one of the tightest, if not the tightest, band today. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect encore being a gigantic Band fan...Ophelia invites some horns out to take a classic look at this classic cover. Haji has always been a fan favorite and gave me gigantic chills and goosebumps with Brendan's lyrics echoing throughout the rocks. If that wasn't enough then they made sure to seal a perfect night with the raucous back side of bridgeless that left no one in doubt of how powerful a show this really is.

There's a lot of love for Set 1. I like Words. Bird Bath was strong. Girlfriend was a monster closer. But Set 2 had a crazy intensity to it, especially the first half.
There were thunderstorms all around the venue and everyone would agree it wasn't a matter of *if* the show would be cut short for weather, it was *when*. So the band took a minimal (10 min?) setbreak and came out with the intention of playing as long as they could. What resulted was a Set 2 where each of the first 4 songs was played as if it was the show closer. Great peaks, huge solos, major intensity. All with Waful's lights playing hand-in-hand with the lightning backdrop.

I think the atmosphere is whats helping us push this a little higher in our minds. It was a late night, and one in Chicago at that, and at a venue of this size it had all the makings of a great night. the question was, would they deliver? They did. It was a blast inside of there, and the band played with a lot of energy. The crowd fed off of it, and they gave the energy right back. I was all over the venue last night and there was no drop off in intensity in that whole venue. The balcony peeps were getting down just as hard as the soundboard peeps who were getting down just as hard as everyone riding the rail.
The opening threesome of the Floor, Wappy > Wife Soup showed they meant business from the get go. The floor had an some jamming going on before intro, not that long, but they opened it up a little bit before they moved into the actual song. The Wappy reminded me of a bright lights jam; fat heavy synths, patient, dark, but with a rocking edge bc its wappy, it moved along nicely. Nothing super memorable, but it was a treat to listen to. I dont know how accurate my notes are, but I had that between the floor and wappy were were already ~30 minutes into the set. Wife Soup was sweet, and it was received very well, I was center balcony at that point and I felt it sway/wobble underneath me. No coincidence, people love their soup.
Resolution > Booth love was another strong segment of music. Sets like this are why I love segue heavy shows/sets, the music comes in chunks and it allows the sets to progress more fluidly, seems like the improv ventures 'out there' a bit more as well. Reso had a nice spacey, funky, layered first jam that I dug it alot. Second jam was built around the zsa zsa gabor theme and some of the licks from it, but they changed it up a bit. Nice to see them bust that out, as I was bummed it got cut from the UMBowl. Per my tastes, anything built around that riff is money, so I was really happy with how this Reso played out. They did one of those stop on a dime transitions into Booth. Booth had a timing jam come out of it that took a little while to find its groove. But they locked into something at the end and it peaked HEAVY. Most interesting BL Ive heard in awhile.
Comma Later and Hangover were a fun way to end the set, nothing to write home. I enjoy the funk/jazz of these tunes so I was digging it, seemed liek Comma took the energy down a little. kind of a nice breather after the heat the opened the set with, and the energy in the room picked up with Hangover.
Snucka is a fun way to open a set, I actually enjoy parts I and II more than part III, so I'm always happy to hear the intro pop up. I dont think they did anything out of Pt I besides take it into Triple Wide. Most people on here complain about songs following them around; I think Ive seen triple wide more than any other song, and I couldnt be happier about it. This version was great, it was atypical and it got dark and to the point quickly. Waful claims that OB is his favorite song to light up, but he always impresses me most when he's doing the lights during 3x. He uses similar techniques every time and it blows me away every time. He also started to paint the walls with the Mac III's and once he uses those big patterns on the wall EVERYONE goes crazy. Waful owned the room for the whole triple wide jam.
Once I heard the intro to deeper I headed towards the lobby because I hadnt eaten since breakfast and figured early in the second set the lobby would be empty. Whilst the crowd got Palmer Square'd, I got a hot dog and took a piss. I consider that a win. I walked back into the room right as we learned about the things that matter most, or what could make us old . . LIKE JOEL. ITK had a fun jam. Really high energy, no real theme, but it didnt suck, which is nice. I made a note about the energy it created in the room, so Im assuming there was a nice peak, but probably a forced one seeing as how I dont really remember anything too specific about it.
Conduit > Haji > Conduit, Rosanna -> Hurt Bird Bath was a whole lot of fun. The first conduit jam before the went into haji had a really nice proggy bounceback jam. Some people bitched about conduits placement, I think its justified bc the jam they played there needed to come out of a prog song, and it worked perfectly coming out of conduit. Haji was sweet, and the jam out of it and back into conduit was just CRUSHED by baylor.
Rosanna -> Hurt Bird Bath was so so so so cool!! They jammed the outro out of Rosanna and then noodled around a little bit. Eventually they work their way to a riff that sounds similar to one of the HBB riffs. They then do a lap and come back and straight up play the riff but at a bit of a slower tempo than they do during HBB played regularly. So were getting what I believe is the bridge of HBB played to us in what I called a tease at the time. They double back and then pick up the pace and the volume a little bit, this is no longer a tease, theyre working their way into A HBB but doing so by playing the middle section of the song first! I think they repeated it a few more time, until they pause and you hear Kris' intro and then they launch into the beginning of the song. When they got to the portion of HBB that they had teased previous to actually playing the song, I felt like they played it at a quicker tempo than normal it was pure adrenaline. This HBB is one Ill never forget.
Encore was decent.
Id give the show an A.

Great close to the spring 2014 tour and what proved to be a heavy handed pimp slap follower to a strong Dallas appetizer. Not surprisingly, given it was Austin, Joel Cummins and the Frequent Fliers were ready to build a house with the bricks that would be shit this night.
Set I:
The party started with one of the more ominous, bass heavy openers (Le Blitz) in rotation transitioning into the ever dependable 40's. Improve was sexy and smooth, but, like my penis, short. After we all rock n' reveled in the quantities of beer we were consuming and anticipated the painful anal outpourings of tomorrow, Xanadu Farag windchimed us off into an OoO. As drums pounded and strings reverberated, I tried to tell my lame Cheese fan friends for the treat they were in for. Too fucking late, that riff split them accompanied Baylor's lyrical introspections, tearing across the expanses of their synapses with reckless abandon.
The neural carnage was far from over but, alas, respite: The ever reliable Much Obliged. Dependable for both improvisational consistency and to put a little pep in your step, dare I say funk in your trunk. If you don't catch a groove on this, you seriously should be evaluated by a doctor to determine whether you are an emotionless replicant android. Started strong building around a nice Pony Bass line, the funky improv was strong with this one. Couple beat drops later, the crowd was rabid. It didn't stop there, so begin the strongest three song series of the show.
Recently introduced Final Word has people reaching for the nearest kleenex box under the Waful whites. Great song I've really enjoyed since I first saw it at this past year's scamp and fit perfectly between the MO and, oh look, fucking 2x2. And you thought it was over, sike motherfucker, time to deep some even deeper personal relationship reflection. Metallesque jam section with some great guitar collaboration.
Standard dance party for BLBC to close a notably impressive trifectum down. I missed most of this as I was still collecting most of my viscera and appendages off the Stubb's ground post the first set stunner series.
Set II:
The party refused to stop. N2F right off the bat with strong improvisation about 13+ minutes, gradually becomes bluesy before the reprise. Do recommend. Mentholated logs were being scorched to calm the souls of the unrepentant, but soon, despite their misdeeds, vindication was assured (see NOT deeper & ait).
Deeper is a lame song anyway despite this particular one being particularly uninspiring. If you take issue with that, please contact my proctologist, schedule an appointment, and check your ass for a dildo. Standard AIT to follow, which was amazing regardless. Crowd was really into it and Waful was on point with his light cues.
Then came the concert magnus opus. What all the hitch hiking, ticket scalping, and moon rocks were done for: August. The transcendent lyrical stew that accompanied this song cannot be described effectively with words, only half experienced through sound board quality MP3 turned up to 11 (and by 11, I mean until it feels like there is an F22 flying by your face). The beat from the opening August gradually fades, then those keys, MAN, those keys. Joel starts building this melodic casserole that just turns into a monstrosity of uplifting jamsandwich. The guitars come in and we start soaring toward the heavens, riding that improv powered bus known as Umphrey's McGreat.
Suddenly a BB angel starts augmenting the ascension with choice improv lyrics. I am crying at this point. Every sane person is straight up weeping. The crescendo peaks and he simply croons out: "It's not the view that's complicated." Take that and put in your third eye, Phish fan. The lift begins to fade and boom:
"And what I'm trying to say
Is its nothing but the view that changes
And if I could see above the trees, I wouldn't disagree
But I'm not the one who made it complicated."
Then the shreds of your existence are melted away by some godly rifts and pounding of the keys. I'm no man of God but, given that we were literally minutes from Easter morning, this would have been the moment Jesus would have stepped out from behind Chris playing a goddamn keytar if the fucker had any sense. Or perhaps even better, emerged from Brandon's mouth, bursting through at the highest note of the stew, climbing out like a stripper at a bachelor party. He'd just straight split out of the inhumanely outstretched mouth and be like, "Helluva stew guys, thought I'd say what's up." Of course, BB's mouth would magically restore and we'd all have a mega laugh, until Jesus got hold of our rocks, because you know he's a mooch, man. Or fuck, maybe Andy would just tear off the pubic shag and it turns out he was Jesus the whole time.
Standard Floor. Great funky Miles Davis company alongside the trombonist from the Mike Dillion Band. She was fantastic, great energy, and a complete smoke show.
Patrick Bateman said it best: "Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor."
And by cynical, I mean Heart & Soul is beyond the cat's meow: its the cat's vagina. Fuck yes.
Bad Friday, sense its debute 12.31.13, has been growing on me, this being my favorite so far. Fun song with tremendous upside, would bang again.
End tour. Easter. 4/20. Austin. Great show, wish you were all there.
Must Listens:
MO > FW > 2x2
N2F
August, August, AUGUST

I had no idea what this venue was like, because I travelled from Washington State in order to attend this show with friends. We got in line early enough to position ourselves right up front. This small venue was like that of a high school dance. I found this incredible. Once the band started with Conduit, it was a big thrill. The sound definition was great, and the guitars started out with clean sound. When the music got more aggressive, the sound man put the pedal to the metal. I could hear the clipping in the mix, and feel my auditor sensors wither... "I'm going to pay dearly for this!" My ears were ringing for 3 days after. I would say that 30% of the songs were ones I had never heard, which thrilled me. The familiar ones were epic. The Pink Floyd medley was a massively good surprise. I especially liked the fact that they did not play "Leave those kids alone." Joels intro vocal for the medley was super. I was told by one of the fans that Umphrey's was on fire on this tour. She was right. This was the best concert I'd ever been to, any group, any time. The audience was great as well. The band members interact very well with the audience, through eye contact and comments. The only drawback was that during the show, my rental car was broken into, and all luggage but my guitar were stolen. The classic California "welcome." Through the generosity of friends and family, the rest of my visit was great. In conclusion, where else can you be up front, close to the stage, and feel like... there are my buddies up there, playing their asses off!

This show was sort of strange for my tastes in UM...lots of ups and downs in the first set. The Olympic walkout and opening Wappy portended a strong Saturday night show, but following it up with standard versions of Peeps and CWI seemed to bring the energy in the room way down. Snucka was initially welcomed, but I found the sit-in jam to be a bit noodly for my tastes. #5 and Sociable are two of my favourite compositions, and closing with two brand new tunes and Snucka III was an excellent move. Booth Love definitely got the room moving, and I remember wondering if the Linear was an obscure Police cover (first time played with lyrics, so I was totally in the dark.)
Set II started very strong, just like the first set, but managed to keep it's momentum rolling throughout. An unfinished Divisions with a nice funky MJ jam juxtaposed nicely with the powerful darkness of The Floor. I would have liked some improv in the Ringo, but this was the first Glory I had caught since my first show four years earlier at the E-Factory, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The Abbey Road medley was another great rarity to catch, featuring vox from BB, Jake, and Joel on the various songs. 2x2 is a fantastic f*cking song; I was ecstatic to see this one drop late in the second set. A quick Mantis Ghetts into a full-on Baylor singalong Divisions ending was a great ending to the set. MP is perhaps my favourite Jake song (right up there with Bad Poker and Synco); a quirky tune with a strong dose of Zappa-ish humour and musicality. I expected Package's dueling guitar coda to end the show, so a focused CWII was a bonus that sent me out the door dancing.

the band walked onstage to the theme music from House of Cards, which was appropriate considering its Season Two debut the night before. energy was high throughout the first set - resolution>conduit was relentless and the liquid>den jam was just awesome.
despite rocking out really hard, the band seemed very laid back during the second set which made it very enjoyable. push the pig contained a tease of "Let Me Blow Your Mind" by Eve and had a cool jam with Joel and Jake on keys.

By the final day of the Halloween run, most of my crew was hurting. Too much bourbon and beer had our hotel room smelling like the bathroom of a Wisconsin dive bar. Saturday’s show was sold out but I ended up getting a wristband for the floor, which ended up being completely packed with people. I was forced to stand behind a guy wearing a huge mushroom head hat and next to a girl that decided to conserve space by grinding on my leg like a dog humping its favorite teddy bear.
As far as Umphrey’s goes, this was definitely their most animated show of the weekend. Jake and Ryan were all over the place, both musically and physically. The first set contained an unfinished version of The Police’s “The Bed’s Too Big Without You”, which made me realize that I will probably never get a chance to hear Umphrey’s cover “Walking on the Moon” live. Also, it’s about time for Umph to tackle ”Man in a Suitcase”.
The final mash-up of the weekend was “Push the Booth Deeper” and it was confusing as hell! Most of us had no clue what was going on, which song was being played or whether all three originals were being played at the same time. A friend was able to get a hold of the song’s notes and confirmed the cluster of confusion from which this mash-up was birthed. To be honest, I am still trying to wrap my head around it.
Umphrey’s McGee finally ended the second set on Saturday night by busting out the Metallica rager, “…And Justice for All”, which hadn’t been performed live in over five years. But the real highlight of the evening was the relentless “Bridgeless” encore. As the tune progressed, one particular audience member could no longer contain his excitement. This very dirty looking man ran across the stage without shoes on, only to be tackled by the stage crew in front of the sold out crowd. It was then rumored that the same wook ended up outside the venue about an hour later going absolutely insane without a single piece of clothing on his body. And thus, a Halloween weekend full of mash-ups and debauchery came to an end.
For Friday night, I signed up for Headphones and Snowcones. It basically cost me $40 for a pair of headphones that streamed a live audio mix directly from the soundboard to my tympanic membranes. This was the first time I tried the experience for an entire show and now I’m afraid live music will never sound the same. These headphones allowed me to tune out the rest of the world so I could get completely lost in the moment. This type of experience is the reason I am so in love with live music and now I don’t know how I will be able to fully enjoy a show without a set of headphones on. So it goes.
The second set on Friday opened with a DBK club sandwich and contained the night’s only debut mash-up: “The Final Teen Spirit”. Dramatic synths from Europe’s “The Final Countdown” directly clashed with Nirvana’s grunge classic “Smells Like Teen Spirit”. The simplicity of mashing only two songs into one seamless tune made this one of the most successful, straightforward mash-up of the weekend.
Brother’s Rage played a smoking after party show on Friday night that featured one of my favorite sit-ins to date. Jake Cinninger, the other worldly guitarist from Umphrey’s McGee, joined the late night act for a cover of The Grateful Dead’s “Estimated Profit” followed by some spacey improv. The jam eventually slammed into the sweaty disco tune, “You Should be Dancing” originally by the Bee Gee’s and featured Mr. Barry Brown on vocals. Needless to say, a legendary dance party erupted among all who attended and continued into the early morning hours.

Halloween is a BIG weekend for the infamous Umphrey’s McGee. These novelty shows usually follow a tradition of busting out a handful of debut covers in a variety of ways, including combining them together into one beastly monster called a ‘mash-up’. I knew I couldn’t miss a single night of this year’s mash-up run, so I took up residence at a hotel suite directly across from the Milwaukee’s Riverside Theater along with ten of my closest friends. The first night of the run was actually on Halloween, plus all three shows were being streamed and taped for later release. I guess it goes without saying that this weekend was destined to be mashed to another level.
I spent the first half of Halloween day sewing together my Hell’s Belle costume, which was a mash-up of the devil and Belle from Beauty and the Beast. I was definitely ready to rock and roll in my AC/DC get up and, needless to say, the members of Umphrey’s were also dressed to impress for this special holiday. Brendan Bayliss was HeisenBert Reynolds, Jake Cinninger was Silent Bob Seger, Kris Myers was Dr. Phil Spector, and Andy Farag was Paul Ryan Braun, to which the Milwaukee crowd boo’d and hissed as he was introduced. But the best costume had to of been Joel Cummins dressed as Uncle Jesse Pinkman.
The first mash-up song of the night came at the end of the first set. It featured “When Doves Cry” by Prince, blended with Umph original “Pay the Snucka” and Blue Oyster Cult’s “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper”. While ”Don’t Fear the Doves, Snucka” was fairly well mashed, I felt like it didn’t have quite enough cow bell to really pull it off.
Halloween night’s second set contained the next mash-up; “Papa Can Change a Blurred Stone”. This was probably my least favorite debut of the weekend, mostly because Umphrey’s covered Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines”. This pop song has haunted me at every wedding, club, and dive bar I patronized over the past six months and the fact that I had to endure it once again while watching my favorite band was the ultimate Halloween trick. Not only that, but it completely overpowered The Temptations, Marvin Gaye, and LCD Soundsystem in the process. I am not sure whose idea it was to cover that specific song but I have a feeling bassist Ryan Stasik was involved, especially since his mash-up costume was Batman & Robin Thicke.
The final mash-up of the night stayed true to the yearly Halloween Mash-up Show tradition of saving the best for last. “Highway to Electric Avenue” was probably the most well mashed song of the Halloween show and seemed deliberately put aside for the show’s encore. Umphrey’s original “The Triple Wide” helped set off the mash-up’s pace which eventually evolved into a game of double-dutch between AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell” and Eddy Grant’s “Electric Avenue”.
I thoroughly enjoyed the fact that this mash-up contained a song by the same band that inspired my Hell’s Belle costume. Besides the three mash-ups, the setlist from Halloween contained heavy hitter after heavy hitter without a single song from the albums Mantis or Anchor Drops thrown in the mix. Fancy that.
Denver was a busy city on New Year’s Eve. The String Cheese Incident was playing their 20th anniversary show just outside the city while Pretty Lights was headlining EDM extravaganza, Decadence in the heart of downtown. Umphrey’s McGee, on the other hand, was wrapping up a four night New Year’s run at Fillmore Auditorium. I hadn't caught an Umphrey’s NYE show in over two years and there was truly no place I’d rather be.
I arrived at the venue just before the show started. My road beverage turned to liquid gold as I waited in a line that wrapped around the Fillmore and into a quaint Denver neighborhood. Luckily it wasn’t too cold outside, or maybe it was the alcohol, but everyone was feeling pretty good, until we heard the crowd roar from within the venue.
Frustration and panic washed over my face. With each note that followed, the pain burrowed deeper into the pit of my stomach. I realized that this was probably my version of hell; being stuck in a line outside a venue only to hear the empty echoes of my favorite songs being played inside while energetic lights escape from a securely guarded door.
The line moved slower than expected and I ended up missing the first forty minutes of the show, which included “Le Blitz > Phil’s Farm > Ocean Billy”. Therefore, the first official song on my New Year’s Eve setlist was a sassy “Mail Package” that Jake Cinninger soulfully delivered. It was followed by a thrashing “Wizard Burial Ground” that Brendan Bayliss comically dedicated “to all the lovers out there.”
Umphrey’s ended the first set of NYE with a debut of a never before played original, “Bad Friday”. This song was probably the highlight of the show. With the help of Mad Dog’s Filthy Secret on horns, Jake’s familiar soul riff finally took flight. A catchy backbeat turned this new Umph tune into straight-up pop music. From the first notes, a disco dance party formed under glimmering crystal chandeliers, which seemed to float above the crowd.
I love being present when an original song is played for the first time because it puts everyone on the same level. From the most avid fan to the kid experiencing their first show, no one knows what will happen next. It made me recollect the first time Umphrey’s played “Puppet Strings” at Summer Camp and my visceral reaction to hear it over and over again. I predict “Bad Friday” will be Umphrey’s bust out song of the 2014; much like “Puppet Strings” was in 2011.
Second set was much stranger than the first. A horn section, appropriately labeled Mad Dog’s Filthy Secret, added a deeper level of weird to Umphrey’s musical landscapes. The sounds engulfed me since I was wearing a pair of headphones that streamed live soundboard audio. My previous experiences with Headphones and Snowcones convinced me that this was the best way completely submerge myself in the live music experience. So why not rock them at Umphrey’s biggest show of the year? The headphones demanded my focus be on the music throughout the first set so I chose to venture through the crowd alone during the second to get a better view of the stage.
I felt like an island surrounded by people, something that further enhanced my response to Umphrey’s debut cover of “Twilight Zone”, which also included teases of Ozzy Osbourne’s “Crazy Train”. I zoned into the way Jake commanded his guitar while Brendan attempted to catch the rhythm. It all felt like it wasn’t adding up so I started making friends with the strangers around me and eventually found myself covered in Umphlove stickers.
Songs like “40′s Theme” and “Booth Love” were done justice by the addition of horns, while ”No Diablo” finally got a chance to dig deeper into its Motown roots. Umphrey’s ended the set on a high note with the most unforgettable cover of the night, Phil Collins’ “Sussudio”. Once again, the strangeness crept in as I recalled American Psycho’s analysis of Phil’s work. At this point I began to realize that maybe this weird feeling was strictly subjective.
Third set began just before midnight with an insane version of “Hurt Bird Bath”. In keeping with tradition, Umphrey’s had never played this song into the New Year. Jeff Coffin, along with the rest of Mad Dog’s Secrets, amped up the energy of “Hurt Bird Bath” like I had never seen it before. The insane build up of the song made me appreciate the true meaning of “rage” in how it relates to the actions of a raving maniac.
By now I had found most of my friends standing right in front of the sound board in the center of the ballroom. This spot provided the best view I experienced all night. Light designer Jefferson Waful was perched on a tall platform just behind us and his devotion to symmetry made the room’s visual landscape just as stimulating as the audio coming from the headphones.
But when the countdown started, I removed my headphones. This was not a time when I wished to block out the rest of the room. Umphrey’s provided all the elements necessary to engrave this moment in my head for the rest of my life. Balloons and confetti fell from the ceiling. My focus switched from the stage to the people around me. Smiling from ear to ear, I hugged my friends and wished them the best in 2014.
Whimsical swirls of energy surrounded us as the band ventured into the New Year’s classic “Auld Lang Syne”. After spending a handful of past New Year’s Eves with Umphrey’s, I knew this was coming. I even looked up a few verses of the song before the show in preparation, so when I heard those first few notes I belted out the lyrics as loud as I could, greeting 2014 with a song.
It was all so intoxicating; the music, energy of the room, glow of the lights, and smell of weed becoming legal. At midnight Colorado became the first state to legalize marijuana, something I never thought I’d experience in my lifetime. It made me feel like I was part of something BIG just by being there. New Year’s always offers a fresh start with limitless possibilities, and this was no exception.
The rest of the third set was pure perfection. “Hit It and Quit It”, a debut Funkadelic cover, provided just enough raunchiness to everyone’s juices flowing. I turned my headphones over to some friends so I could share the experience. The look on their faces was of pure ecstasy.
The night ended with an appropriate “Resolution” encore that jammed out the New Year’s classic, “Auld Lang Syne” and eventually segued into Kool & the Gang’s “Funky Stuff”. Umphrey’s was once again joined by Mad Dog’s Filthy Secrets to conclude the long night of music on a high note.
While strange, the night felt perfect in every way.

2011 was a year that featured one or two really good pieces of improv in almost every show, and this one did not disappoint. The standard Eat followed by Words was really the only slow part of the show. FF and 1348 were easily the highlights of set 1, as both contained quality improv and approached the 15 minute mark. FF had a very patient jam, beginning as spacey dub before shifting into more driving territory and closing with a Stranglehold jam before Anchor Drops started on a dime. 1348's jam started out with a heavy BB riff complimented by nice Rhodes work by Joel. The B section was uplifting, with a nice soaring Jake riff. The return to 1348 was very patient; they really eased into it, almost like they do with the intro. Slacker had a brief jam and brought a satisfying first set to a close.
Set 2 started very strong, with a Bloodline of Merlin sampled quote leading into WBG. The Hey 19 through Phil's Farm segment is undoubtedly the show highlight, with about 40 minutes of uninterrupted playing including several strong improv sections. Hey 19 featured a Midnight Hour jam with vox by Jake. My girlfriend presciently observed that it sounded a lot like Funkytown, which I scoffed at, only to be shocked and served when the band snuck in a brief Funkytown jam next! The Linear featured a spacey jam that followed FF's template and picked up in pace, highlighted by Jake's fingertapping that recalled PF's On the Run. For my money, Linear was the jam of the night. Linear dissolved into Phil's, which quickly took a turn into the space-dance sort of improv featured in this show. The ALS theme begins early on in the improv out of Phil's and led smoothly into Blue Echo. A hauntingly beautiful jam after the Echo section featured a Joel piano progression and very restrained but powerful playing from all band members. This stew was very similar to a 2006 version of Blue Echo (4/19/2006 possibly? The date escapes me at the moment.) Echo did not return to the "Techo" section, but rather dropped back into the second half of Phil's before a BLBC set closer. BLBC featured some funk jamming around the main theme, a solid version but rather ordinary when compared to the best versions of the song from 2011 (year of the massive Bright Lights?) 40's encore was welcomed but not particularly notable.

This could very easily be my favorite second set ever. Maybe because I'm a local, or maybe it was 80's night happening downstairs and spilling up to the show, I don't know. Was it just me or was that a Things Can Only Get Better (Howard Jones) tease by Myers at the end of the first Snucka? Can't wait to do it all again in a couple months.

Another amazing show. What can I say they tore it up. The place went bonkers when they referenced the Red Sox being in the playoffs, when the sox won the game and Jefferson wrote sox on the wall in lights it was off the chain. The band was having as much fun as we were and that was evident. The encore of Wizard Burial ground still has my nipples hard.
This was an amazing show. I was right up front and the band was amazing. The interaction with the crowd was awesome. Ryan an I even had a moment together. The crowd erupted when they went from cinnamon girl back into pay the snucka and they teased with bulls on parade. The second set was amazing and I had to go back the next day to scrape my face off the floor. When they did Dr Feelgood the place was hopping great show.

The Joshua Redman set is a fine example of people describing him as the "7th member of the band." (We all know that Waful is the 7th member, just like Kuroda is the 5th member, but I'm talking music). Just ridiculous musicianship. Joshua Redman on DBK alone is worth the money paid to buy this show.
Speaking of DBK 2nd set opener, Jaden Carlson's sit-in on DBK is a standout, very incredible 12-year-old gal from Boulder holding her own with UM, awe-inspiring to say the least! Listen to Jake yell out "OH YEAH!" at the end of her sit-in!
I effing loved the Plunger Jimmy Stewart, just real raw UM!
River People is one of the sexiest and funkiest things I've heard this band do onstage. I've listened to the first 4 minutes of this song about 30 times now, and I play it for my gal friends to great effect! River People can and should somehow make it into rotation.
Most of my favorite moments of the this NYE run are on this show.

Cold November nights in Wisconsin and Umphrey’s McGee have always had the ingredients for a magical show. Dating back to 2006 and even further back if you include October the band is always on point this time of year. Add a great theater that Waful crushed and this night was another one of those nights. I was beyond excited driving up last minute since my last two set Umphrey’s show had been the Bill Graham private show way back in April.
The show opened up with silky smooth Plunger > Much Obliged > Plunger Sammy giving us a nice treat of some older tunes. The drop into M.O. was spot on where the transition in Plunger normally is which lead to funky jam with a raging peak before bouncing back into the end of M.O. and then fading beautifully into the end of Plunger with a Joel lead piano solo. Everything about this sandwiched screamed Umphrey’s McGee, the precisions and execution was flawless.
Next came Higgins with an exceptional jam, Stasik stepped up and leads the way with an infectious groove that everyone built around. Once again the flow in and out of Higgins was superb. This dance party Higgins got followed up by a rare treat in another old tune Sweetness. This leads some very uplifting, graceful improv landing on a rock riff that Jake ends up teasing Rebubula briefly before he shreds his way into funky riffs everyone picks up on and then BOOM! It drops into Comma Later.
No Diablo came next, a song debut at UMBowl earlier this year and only played 5 times prior. I really dig the Supertramp vibe and I’m glad it’s getting played. Finally, the highlight of the show for me closed out the first set with an extended 40’s Theme that included a verse of The Police’s “The Bed’s Too Big Without You”. Once again the MVP of the night, Ryan Stasik stepped up with some Sublime bass effects that had the place going ape shit until it fizzled into The Police which lead to equal excitement from the crowd. The band then slowly grooved back into the end of 40’s and walk off stage leaving us eager with anticipation for set two.
The second started off with another monster rock sandwich in Mantis > Mulche’s Odyssey > Mantis. Mantis is a tune I really wish would get improv all the time but not tonight, however the powerful first verse had the energy flowing from the start and that spilled over into an insanely powerful Mulche’s. Jake was toying with the Who Knows? riff in the rock breakdown but never went into it. Once again they kept a sold out crowd going full force before finishing the tune and ever so carefully segueing back into Mantis.
Following up this huge sandwich was Miami Virtue, the highlight of set two without a doubt. This version clocks in just under 15 minutes, 10 of which is improv and it is really something special. It has a slow intro where Jake walks over and joins Joel on keys and then they proceed to lay down some very tasty layers together. This dark jam is a great example of where everyone comes together and is doing just enough to mesh together something great. As the tempo picks up everything seems to take form and a masterful team effort unfolds. Bayliss really lays down some licks as this builds up before cutting out into some keys and synthesizer where this dark jam sees the light and transpires into a glorious uplifting jam. This jam then quietly fades into the night with a slow segue into a standard JaJunk where yet again Stasik stepped up and laid down some bubbly bass. The band closed out the second with a crowd favorite cover of Metallica’s “…And Justice For All” which hadn’t seen the light of night in 577 shows. They encored with a standard Bridgeless which I consider a treat since it seems rare to catch a standalone Bridgeless these days, even if it normally creates great improv. A great choice by the band to close out a show that rocked from start to finish.

After the two night Burlington run, I had three days to go back to school and relax. This was my second Toad's Place show in 2006 and I did the exact same thing as before. Took the Bonanza bus down to my buddy's dorm in New London, and drank pre-show.
This show starts off with a 20 min unfinished N2F, which is basically unheard of nowadays. After the composed part, the jam morphs into a percussion laced jam. Lot of Kris and Andy going on. It ends up going into kind of a spacey-untz jam, but nothing special. Even though this version is long, it's not mind blowing.
There is a nice -> into a standard Walletsworth. Get in the Van is next with some nice banter after the intro. This Van actually features about 2 minutes of improv in the middle. Didn't even realize this until listening to it again.
Resolution featured two decent jams with a great drop into the Rock Fuzz.
The Visions > N2F reprise is 25 minutes of spacy sonic bliss. If you want to listen to this show, listen to that segment.

This was my birthday show for 2013. I made the trip out from Colorado for this show and St. Louis the next night.
The venue was alright, smaller then what I was expecting from the photos. I was able to link up with some fellow Umphfreaks via Facebook groups and managed to secure a few spots on the SkyDeck. The SkyDeck is this venue's VIP viewing balcony w/ private bathrooms & bar. One of my friends had also secured the Headphones & Snowcones for the night so we got to the venue right as the opener started. After getting the headphones & a few pins from the merch table we settled into a nice spot about 10 ft. in front of the sound board in middle of the stage.
Umphrey's took the stage as the sun was setting and kicked off the set with a delicious ITK > Wellwishers sandwich. The jams from ITK where a sold way to start the show. Next came Mail Package, which seems to be popping up more frequently in 2013 set lists. A much enjoyed tune, and Jake seemed to get loose with some fun vocals. Dump City also has some great moments of improve and gets pretty spacey at parts. At thus point in the show I had only been able to listen to snippets of the opening tracks with the headphones on, since my friend was the one that reserved and paid for them.
Once Example 1 dropped she let me put them on for most of the song and oh boy was that something special. If you every have a chance to do this [u]I HIGHLY recommend it[u]!! You are able to feel the bass and low ends while also being able to isolate each band members instruments with extreme ease. There was a part during this song Joel was laying down a peaceful piano section over Jake's soloing; this was a very powerful experience at a live show for me.
I loved being able to look at each member and be able to hear exactly what they were contributing to each of the jams. The band transitioned out of the example 1 jam into only my second OOO in 32 shows. Out of Order was a much welcomed older tune, which Bayliss nailed the vocals on. The nights highlights for me start with the next song, Phil's Farm, and run to the end of the show with Pay the Snucka.
Phil's Farm has one of the best jams that I have experienced at an Umphrey's show in my 32 show career. A very long an enjoyable jam with a soaring peak! Syncopated also has some very strong moments and got very dark before they finished the song with the blissful doo doo doo dooooo part. The Come Closer mash-up was something no one saw coming and really sent the crowd into a frenzy! The inexperienced girls next to us had a look of sheer confusion at what was happening in front of their eyes and ears. This took me back to the first time I heard this song at my [b]2nd EVER UM show[b] during Wakarusa of 2010. It reminded me of that night and the night before when I had my first live experiences with this band and community and made me very happy.
Pay the Snucka was the perfect way to end the set and one of the songs that I had requested from Joel on twitter. I don't know for sure if this is why they played Snucka at this show, but it sure made the night for me. I had such a blast RAGING this set in a unfamiliar town at a new venue with some of the best friends and family a guy could ask for. Thanks to Umphrey's amazing performance this night I will have some amazing pictures & memories from an outstanding 27th Birthday!!

Though we don't have a setlist for this show (it was accidentally deleted from the original UM setlist file years ago), I remember specifically seeing the boys at MOB on the Friday night after finals at ND, fall semester 1998. A nice pre-party with some friends off campus made for a very fun night at good ol' MOB.

Phenomenal show with fantastic jamming. I could be wrong but wasn't that a Jimmy Stewart in the middle of August? Sounded nothing like the song proper. Even if it was just a jam it was definitely my favorite moment of the night. Glad I decided to catch this show and not just Alpharetta.

UM brought the ruckus at this show for sure...Lot of tight improv and jamming going on throughout.
Le Blitz set the tone right off the bat, but the bridgless with jimmy took off to amazing places.
Dear Lord being stuck in between the plunger was a nice twist, and I've never seen this before....(Dear Lord is an amazing song)
Really into the feel and lyrics on No Diablo, and the interplay between Jake and Brendan has a good supertramp-esque feel..
Tribute to the spinal shaft got busted open big time with lots of psychedelic jam, and it's followed with serious versions of conduit and the linear.
Let's Dance had so much sound with both bands being on stage and the horn players too...I think it was about 15 people on stage jammin out some Bowie...Pretty cool stuff!
Any show with 4 Jimmy Stewart's in it is worth listening to in my opinion, and this show packs a punch...

One set never sounds all that great anymore before you go, but they always treat summerfest really well and this was no exception.
Big fan of "Le Blitz" as an opener, really gets the UM vibe and crunchy guitar jams rolling....
It's been a long time since we've gotten turn and dub, and this ones jam goes all over the place...its really sick. Robot world's jimmy takes a darker turn and ends up being some pretty heavy jam.
Out of order is such a great tune and I personally think it should get more play because it is one of those classic UM sounding tunes...Let's dance of course brought the funk vibe and Sinclair on the sax was a nice treat!
Rest of show is awesome as well, but the dear lord in the encore with sprinkling rain really had an impact on the crowd and was one of those beautiful moments.
P.S. Joel announced before the encore that Milwaukee would be treated to year 2 of Halloween at the Riverside, and this year is 3 nights: 10-31 thru 11-2!!! Thank you UM! Wisco loves you!
This show is seriously under rated and never talked about. But when it's a general admission $10 summerfest ticket and UM plays like this, WOW!
Opener of resolution with two seperate jams wrapped around the tune, first jam is a rocker, and second jam is funky...
Pretty standard versions of PW, S4, and then an always wonderful zeppelin cover to get the party goin.
Nothin too fancy can be heard on UM-Hall of Fame and is one of the greatest ambient UM grooves I've heard to date..its tasty.
Push the pig has a good healthy jam, and Milwaukee was diggin the harder groove that "in bloom" brought...
One of the coolest Fuzz jams I've ever heard, its like bar room rockin jamboree shit..really is quite killer...
Encore embodied some hendrix teases and ended the night in serious fashion! UM always rocks out at summerfest

Here's a link to a write up I did about this show:
http://teleskiguy.tumblr.com/post/49063263186/reflections-on-umbowl4
I rolled VIP, bought the hotel package 4 days before the show. I drove out from western Colorado by myself. Worth all the time and treasure! If you enjoy Umphrey's McGee in any capacity UMBowl is a beautiful thing if you can get in.
Here's my "Choose Your Own Adventure" votes.
1348 > Lenny > 40s Theme > Miss Gradenko > Smell the Mitten > Bad Poker > Puppet String
And I was a little baffled by "Lenny" losing to "Higgins." Hey UMPhreaks, the band has played "Higgins" a bunch, they hardly ever play "Lenny," one of the most beautiful rock songs ever composed. That's my one gripe about the show. Which is trivial because the whole damn evening was one of the best rock 'n' roll experiences I've been a part of.

Not really posting a review but I wish the Up North Festival stayed alive longer than the ONE YEAR it did. This show featured 4 of the BIG GUN songs in UM's repertoire including Utopian, HBB, DBK, and N2F with Floyd in the encore slot.
They were headlining this night so played a 2 hour set. The encore was roughly 30 minutes long.
A little known fact amongst Umphreaks is that THIS SHOW WAS JEFFERSON WAFUL'S FIRST TIME RUNNING THE LIGHT RIG IN A LIVE SETTING FOR UMPHREY'S!!!

Alright, this was a blast, definitely on my agenda for next year. Hoping for this to be the very of many umbowls.
Quarter 1 might have been my favorite. Really enjoyed the stews, gonna have to give it a listen again, can't remember which was my favorite. Really fun way to start out the show and brought out a lot of good dancing on my part, would keep this in this placement next year. Also, second time getting the cables cut after last new years, really enjoyed the down tempo version, probably more than the other. Was surprised at choices, would have preferred more older stews, felt like a lot were really recent, oh well, still a good time.
Quarter 2 was fun too, loved the Orion opener, but I admit a deep love for metal umphs. Cantina band was straight dance party, really glad this got picked too. Would love to see both of those enter rotation for their covers. No Diablo and Porch were fun if nothing else. I love Bullhead City, but it felt like it would have been much better if naturally placed in an acoustic set, still glad to have seen one, beautiful song if you ask me. I don't know who voted on 2x2 acoustic, but that just seemed awful to me, like a giant condom wrapped around an otherwise great song. Will have to give it another listen, it all looked so awkward with the big light show that usually accompanies the electric piece. Not as good as Quarter 1, but still fun. Next year I might suggest putting up some choices we've had in past Umbowls, I realize IVOY has already been voted in, but who wouldn't want another one after three years? As Quarter 1, great placement, fun to see all the bust outs and debuts right before halftime and right after the raw stewage.
Quarter 3 had some serious jamming go on, but it felt a little underwhelming for most of the time. 70s disco, hillbilly hoedown, jazz metal fusion and sinister evil untz were the highlights for me. Didn't much care at all for gin and juice, beach boogie or tribal drum jam. And the simply ambient music seemed like anything but, too much going on, too much energy on stage for that to take proper form it seemed. Again, relistens will provide some insight. I know this is one of the premier quarters, but I would consider dropping this next year if it's going to have as many stale moments as this year. Obviously if nothing else better can be thought up then don't, but I feel like if they kicked around enough ideas they could think of something better, or at the very least mix it up somehow to make it more fresh.
Quarter 4 was really fun, definitely best as the final quarter in my opinion. Decent song selection, but I have to wander why Miss Gradenko wasn't picked. And Higgins over Lenny OR Eat? Really? Also glad Miss Tinkles was picked over Hangover, still don't understand all the hate that song gets. Really enjoyed how they let every song have a good 5 to 10 minutes to breath and get fleshed out. Were you allowed to vote over and over? For some reason I thought everyone got one vote and everyone kept switching their votes. If not then I feel bad for the people that sat there texting over and over again, because after I voted once I was getting down to all those tastey jams they tacked onto every song. Really like the way this was handled, and the placement at the end seemed the most natural and was the best way to end the show if you ask me. It's either this or the first quarter that was my favorite, gonna have to get my hands on the soundboard to properly compare.
Overall great show, definitely worth the price. I think the quarter placement was spot on, particularly putting the raw stewage first to get the room moving and the choose your own adventure last to get everyone involved at the end, particularly with every song getting decent treatment. I cannot stress enough how awesome it was that they let everyone have time to vote and opened everything up that quarter. Next year put up some better options for the mail in ballots. I realize a lot of the best songs have been picked before or used on the ballots before, but they're going to have to put them up again eventually if they keep doing this year after year, might as well do it for the fifth time since that's generally considered a big number to hit. Would consider either dropping stewart event or modifying it in someway, was the low point of the show for me easily sans a few dancey moments.

Let me tell you why this is the best UM show of 2013, in my opinion. I consider nipple trix my favorite intro. Ive seen it thrice, Chicago, Stl new years, and the first one at summer camp. Love the energy of it and loved the transition into Resolution. Resolution contained a solid amount of improv for a 2013 reso, thoroughly enjoyed it. Pretty much the one lull came during hourglass (it usually does). A nice full 1348 was a treat mid set, as you usually see it ending a set. Morning song was emotional and perfect. Got goosebumps. Rosanna>Conduit was great! Bayliss was feelin himself during Rosanna. A nice mulche's with a jazzy mid jam was a perfect way to end an emotional roller coaster of a set. Set 2 kinda speaks for itself. 5 songs, 6 including the second part of AIT. All in time contained a great jam that sorta sounded like Phish's first tube to me. Day Nurse in between was nice. I like day nurse because it brings a weird funky energy into the room every time. I expected them to continue the set into a new song, but out of nowhere Bayliss began to sing All in Time part 2. Another treat because every other time i've seen all in time it's ended a set. The highlight of the night, the Higgins, clocking in at 22 minutes, contained a "Talking in your sleep" jam (By the Romantics) which was weird and fun. There was also a vocal jimmy stewart about 15:00 through. Didn't recognize the lyrics. This was the best higgins i've ever heard. Slacker was solid and contained some stasik gold. Can't you hear me knockin closed out a STELLAR second set with it's usually fun energy. Everyone always appreciates the Stones covers. The encore was freaking perfect. Partyin Peeps>Haji. Ahh. Speaks for itself, i think.

Fun, funky show. Rosanna > Conduit was alot of fun.
Stasik got a little too loose during CYHMK, but thats ok considering the amount of jamming throughout the second set. Judging from the written setlist, it looks like that 30+ minute second set opener took a little extra time. I think they cut out Miami Virtue and one other song.
PP > Haji is a classic encore. Doesn't get much better.
Of the two Texas shows this was by far the best, and that is not to discount how good Dallas was. But, I have a feeling that the boys selling out their first Texas gig gave them a warm happy feeling they just couldn't help but show with the music.
The setlist speaks for itself.
LE>Deeper>UF>Jessica was a great combo to round out the middle of the 1st set.
The entire second set was on point. Encore, just as good.
Not alot of real off the cuff jammming, but solid structured jamming throughout. AND A MOTHER EFFING Daft Punk Cover...

I wasn't at this show but the song selection is epic! All the jams are very tight and exploratory. Covering the new Daft Punk song is pretty awesome too.
Anyone know what stew/jam/song they are teasing about 7:30 into In The Kitchen? I've definitely heard it before...

First off, this was one hell of an umph experience. My friends and i traveled south from PA to see two shows back to back. This being the first out of the two. Starting off a concert to "Drink My Drank" is a great way to grab the crowd's attention. Then transitioning into "Tribute to the Spinal Shaft" which was up beat and funky as fuck. Joel had his time for a keys solo. Good for him! "Conduit" was next and ill always enjoy that badass tune. "Cemetery Walk" was dropped on the Olando crowd, which dropped my jaw. Never thought i would see it live and not only that but to have it swing right into "Slacker" which is a personal favorite. So at this point...Im flipping out. "Miss Tinkles Overture" was played next and thats just up lifting shredding and a solid jam that gets the crowd involved towards the end. A cover slides right into the setlist and it just happens to be Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb". Damn. The room's energy was magical. Everybody was in the spirit now. Then ending the set with "Cemetery Walk II", as expected. GREAT first set.
Starting off the second set with "Der Bluten Kat" > "Miami Virtue" > "Der Bluten Kat" was big. During the Inprov of DBK, Waful flips the lights back on the curtains and really bring out the art in his occupation. The dance moves were just pouring out. "In the Kitchen" was next in line. It was not long in duration, but thats fine. Just hearing the tune is good enough for me. Stasik took a nice bass solo after kitchen which was quite impressive. Then they slammed a solid 18 minute "2x2" which was fucking awesome. Great tune :). "1348" was the perfect way to end the set and it was spot on. Drunk singing and hard raging, just the way i like it.
Encore left me speechless. No one can ever deny and well played "Ringo" and well played it was. For the final stretch of the night, the band was getting real funky. Towards the middle of the song they bring back ringo and leave a Kris Myer's signature drum beat playing on where the crowd begins an up roaring WE WANT THE UMPHS chant. the band then reacts and slaps a "Soul Food II" jam and that was so much more than i could ever ask for. My favorite show so far. Give it a listen when you can. Thank you Umphrey's.

^Yep! Gotta agree with the above reviewer about the Talking Heads cover. In fact, that whole first set was so spot on, I was caught off guard when they walked off for set break. Seemed like they had just started. Great show from front to back.
Watched the first set from the rail, but got caught by the short set break, and watched the 2nd set from the top of the hill.

The House of Blues on sunset strip is actually really cool on the inside and has pretty amazing sound too! This night was a serious rager and is my favorite show of 2013 thus far.
This was my 49th show and my first time to ever do the UMVIP, which was really sick... Got a signed poster included, laminates, soundcheck on Saturday, and a meet and greet with the BAND!!!
Got pic's with all the different band members and everyone was soooooo cool....
As for the second night of Hollywood nights, well their was no shortage of pure unadultered jammin going on!
My first live "there's no crying in mexico" which always gets you in the mood for some dancy fun...And a super jammy bridgeless that goes to a nice place.
Wappy sprayberry was it's usual dance party with a great MJ tease that was funky as hell with a beautiful backside to brigeless.
Wife soup doesn't get played alot anymore and was really nice to see on the west coast, since we are from Madison WI. The Der bluten kat takes the cake for the first set though...
Both Jake and Brendan taking turns on keys in DBK and also a first time ever great hip hop tune!
Mulche's got taken to a much higher level than normal and had Jake and Brendan facing in on each other battling out sick guitar riffs
Anytime you get DBK and then Divisions in a show you know it'll be a special night. Divisions has a serious Jimmy Stewart that gives goosebumps, and then followed by a plunger (which usually I dont care for too much) but the plunger contains one of the funkiest grooves I've heard to date....
Hangover gets seriously elevated to an insane jam level and then the triple wide into divisions to end!?!?! Wow, this is one of those shows....
Good encore with some California lyrics in "the song remains the same" to really let people know why UM is the best out there!

Coming off an incredible show from the night before, everyone in our hotel room slept in pretty late. We all walked around Burlington during the late morning/early afternoon, then made our way back to the hotel for the pre-game.
The show started off with an extended Plunger jam into MITA, which I had heard at the Hampton show 2 months earlier. 2x2 was standard, then during the Utopian jam, Brendan and Jake switched to their acoustic guitars. This was my first experience with acoustic UM and it was definitely a fitting time to do it as well. Nothing else worth notating, but the last 3 songs of the first set were really fun and different than the UM that I was used to.
Pay the Snucka 2nd set opener was nice, but No More Tears was definitely out of nowhere and I still listen to that version to this day. In the silent breakdown part, they sing a verse of Total Eclipse of the Heart in homage to Old School which was released about 3 years prior. The big jam of the set was The Triple Wide. During the jam, they busted into a lyrical stew and I remember Grover standing next to me screaming out something like "Skyline Stew, Skyline Stew!" I just laughed as he was like a kid in a candy store. I guess this was the jam that turned into Spires? IIRC. Anyways the rest of the set (Words, ITK) were standard. However, Rosanna was a really cool cover choice to finish it off, and after the finishing chorus they went into a jam. No other than Mrs Robinson's Strut. This is one of my favorite repeated stews and it was great to get it after my real first big run with Umph.
Overall it was a great weekend and I will never forget it.

It's hard to believe no one has posted a review of this show. The setlist says it all. This was a barn burner. If you want to make a fan out of anyone - download and play this show. It's full of superhuman music.
You guys fucking rock and Grand Rapids loves you.

For some reason this NYE show always stick out in my mind as one of the most memorable nights of mine...This was my second NYE show and it delivered on all fronts.
The first set is a real treat with Cemetery Walk 1 getting ppl in the mood early for a rager, which was followed by a short but great triple wide.
This was my first headphones and snowcones which is always welcomed and should be played more! The whole second set is gold, and the tower of power cover takes the cake! Kris Myers is truly amazing, vocals and drums.
Set 3 contains alot of good jamming, starting with the much obliged that gets super funky to bring in the new year. Phils farm still may be my favorite version, good bass wapping fun...
Of course turn and dub is always welcomed, but I'll never forget stasik in his shiny pink shirt singing cant take my eyes off of you! Hilarious!!!
Reelin in the years was jsut ppl having fun and enjoying being at somehting as special as an UM NYE!

Ahhhhh, my first UM show! Young and at Bonnaroo to see all my favorite jam bands! This set of UM opened my eyes to appreciate UM as one of the top bands coming up...
When moe came on and then Michael Travis too I didnt even know what was going on, it blew my mind!
Highlights were definitely the jam in resolution which is long and tasty, along with a nothin too fancy and bright lights that has made me do 48 shows to date!
This whole set though is just pure UM energy and if you've never heard the download I would strongly suggest it!
One of the greatest first sets I've ever heard! The floor is pretty traditional but then 2X2 has this sick asian sounding jam in it...
Turn and Dub is like 18 minutes of good phsychedelic jam followed by a great american with 2 big dance jams in it...Sweet sunglasses is a great cover and a good set closer.
Still one of my favorite Tribute's to start out set 2 which had a Law and order intro with stasik slappin the bass.
Highlights in set 2 for me was Raymond and Fool in the rain. Madison is a great setting for UM.
This could be one of the funnest nights of summercamp that I've ever experienced...and the fact that they released it on DVD is just sick!
The jam in 1348 is pure energy and really gets you moving...Once I heard Red Tape bust out I knew it was gonna be twenty minutes of heaven. It seems like every year UM takes a tune and just rages it 20 mins every time they play it but in different ways..(ocean billy, 1348, red tape, etc...)
Their is two distinct sides to the red tape, one being super trancie electronica and one being an uplifter...The pay the snucka with bulls on parade got everyone ragin.
My first senor mouse and I love this cover!!!!
Second set is classic....I absolutely love the miss tinkles higgins twister! In and out and in and out of both tunes...EPIC!
Rocker Pt 2 is of course a legendary builder and this was my first Day Nurse. I kept thinking by this point that this was one of the greatest nights ever!
Hourglass is a great mellow tune with solid lyrics and national anthem brought the heat big time.
Encore of triple wide in where joel's part is absolute fire...such great musicianship....
Summercamp is the shit...
UM had a lot to prove to make this show better than the last time they were at the Orpheum and they did not dissapoint.
Nippletrix into 2nd Self was a nice touch to get the show started with a good vibe. The puppet string has some really good improv and good length. Not quite as funky as some versions I've heard but original and good in its own way.
My fiance called the Mantis on this show and is always a nice treat these days to get that, especially the backside of it.
Triple wide is a great version, taking you through peaks and valleys of electronic grooves...All night long had more thump than normal with 3 ppl playing percussion including Jake.
It was my second time getting headphones and snowcones (once before on NYE with Mirro) and its a great jazzy riff.
I love when they put two jams into Resolution and both of them had a reggae - ish theme which was great!!!
Set two was a rager, dancy jajunk, rocker of a slacker, and the set never let go....
Hollywood nights I went absolutely nuts because me and my fiance will be going to do VIP HOLLYWOOD NIGHTS on 3-22 and 3-23 in Hollywood....Its as if they knew we were going by playing it in our hometown of madtown!
Great show...UM in madison never dissapoints!

Morgantown, WV...what an environment for an UMPH's show in mid Feb. Valentine's Day gave all Umphrey's McGee fans a reason for their minds to race of what possibly they could play. Further more
Set I: Catshot was a good way to start off the night, into an always welcomed Miss Tinkle's Overture that jammed hard. Walletsworth was a good fit for an emotional crowd. Domino Theory was pretty sick, really went at it. Intentions Clear really set a good mood for the 1st set. Push the Pig wasn't expected at all, but you'll never turn it down. Wasn't the best version but was very fun. The Floor jammed hard as shit once again..not a surprise. A lot of improve and grooviness/rave feel the show was as an overall.
Set II: The Fussy Dutchman, wow...not a single person was not dancing. Joel was pumped up. Not a Red Tape guy but if i had to see one live I suppose it'd be this one. In The Kitchen was a good up lifting mood after a long Red Tape. Good jams, Thin Air was fucking sick. Haven't seen that one yet until now. I Want You was a great cover.. good sing along for a Valentines Day show. Kabump was tiiiiiiiight. 20 minutes or so. Great Home jam.
Encore: Girlfriend is Better was a pretty cool start to an encore, really went hard and was one of the spacier versions of that they play. Booth Love was expected but not as an encore, heard it up at The Beacon a month prior as an encore so that kind of threw me off. But in the end who is going to turn down a Booth Love on such a great Valentines day down in Morgantown?
Great show all in all, very awesome crowd. Pissed they didnt let me down to the main floor but the 2nd level was hectic and went so hard. Worth leaving my girlfriend at home on valentines day for some umph love, FUCK YEA! Thank you everyone for such an amazing show.

Wow. This was a great show at a great little venue. There was mass confusion about what time the band was actually going on. Initially it was listed as 8:30, then someone said their was an opener, and then someone said they'd go on at 8:00. To be safe, we made sure we were in the venue by 8:00, which was great since the band went on pretty promptly at 8:15.
The Theatre was TINY. Not a bad seat in the whole place, and the balcony looked like it raged hard. It was also a dry venue, which was a first for me, but no one seemed to mind since security was really chill.
Miss Tinkle's opened really, really strong and kicked off the night in pretty rockin' fashion. Walletsworth was well done, but I thought the Domino Theory jam stalled a bit and they ended up pulling out of it, thankfully. Intentions Clear was a jaw dropper with the band taking things down to a trickle while Waful killed all of the lights. This led into an okay Push the Pig and, as always, a rager of The Floor to close Set I.
Set II opened with a nice Fussy Dutchman and led to an okay Red Tape. In the Kitchen really got the crowd moving, but I thought the jam was uninspired. Thin Air was fantastic--maybe the best I've ever heard Joel play. The Beatles cover was a nice breather and raged the venue pretty good. Kabump was a TREAT. The rode the jam for a long time until Stasik finally unplugged and the band ended gently to close a nice Set II.
The Talking Heads cover for an encore was nice, and the Booth Love jam was nasty.
Highlights: Miss Tinkle's, Intentions Clear, Thin Air, Kabump.
If you get a chance, see the band at this venue. They did not disappoint.

This was my first Valentine's Day show and it was one that never dissapoints. First and second sets both deliver big time.
The August opener is huge and goes into really good dance grooves.
Syncopated Strangers is 18 mins long and the jimmy stewart inside of it had the whole place dancing!!!
Sociable Jimmy is huge too, with the Xxplosive jam just started this show out with pure energy.....
Probably my favorite All in time I've still ever heard (its now 2013) and the mullet over is always a treat.
Great four night run! Thanks UM, Madison loves you!

This was my 6th year in a row at First Ave and UM. I was a bit bummed they werent playing more than one night, but I knew that the show would not disappoint... And that was for sure the case! I have been an Umphrey's fan for about 7 years now, and I am only in the 30ish range for shows. So I am no veteran by any means, but they are my favorite band. So I was really hoping for a Wizard Burial Ground, I have yet to see it live. I didnt get WBG, but I got 2 of my other favorite songs that I hadnt heard yet... Division! and Miss Tinkle's Overture. I was in awe after both of those were played. Not to mention Nemo was crazy good, as was All In Time and the Triple Wide to close the night out. I hadnt heard UM cover Bowie before, so that was also a highlight for me. I think I say this every time I see Umphrey's, but this was seriously the best show I have seen of them. If not best, easily in my top 3. Great work of you Gents!

This was my first UM experience. It was my introduction into "jam" culture. Those lights were the most amazing thing I have ever seen. I can not believe I have not been going to festivals my entire life. I have a feeling that this was the perfect venue. It wasn't over crowded and I had the time of my life. I just wish UM was playing the Electric Forest but I am just as excited to see all these other amazing jam bands I have been missing out on. Thank you for such a life changing experience, for reals.

This was UM first time playing at First Ave. Before this they had only played The Cabooze on the west.
Set 1-
Tons of great energy in the room that night. Energy peaked in the first set during the Glory jam.
1st set ended with a massive Ja Junk. Deep groove from Stasik. wow.
2nd Set Notes
Bayliss guitar was not turned up loud enough in the mix so the 2x2 suffers a bit. I personally enjoy this song more when it is in the first set.
Robot World was the stand out of the whole show. Great dance untz stew with great Moog work from Joel.
Let me start out by saying that this is a pretty underated show. It's definitely pretty proggy and out there at times but a great show.
The Miss Tinkle's Overture is still by far the best version I've ever heard to date and I've been to 50 plus UM shows and have downloaded tons tons more. It is pure energy and pumps you up with a sort of metal dance party.
The visions with the blues for los angeles jam is down right nasty....deep trancy, jazzy, jam that is super tasty and not a usual sound for the band.
Set 2 Highlights were of course the nice beatles cover, but the Crooked one into Utopian is big and bad. The crooked one gets a little dark but very jammy and the Utopian fir gets dark as well but has a really nice tail end of reggae that's a bit longer and extended than normal.
Hot for teacher was real appropriate since the teachers were all striking up at the capitol and made for a great end.
Night 2 of this run was the bee's knee's though....
I would have to completely disagree with the final comment on the first review of this show about the other covers slowing down the show.
I can say that this was my 5th NYE show with UM and my 35th show of UM all together and thought ALL of the cover choices were spot on.
The Demolition Man cover was excellent, UM has covered a ton of Police over the years and this one was a real treat off of "ghost in the machine" album.
And then the Beck cover of Mixed Bizness to bring in the new year was some great funk with fun lyrics!
Definitely highlights of this show are the whole first set being a free flowing complete piece of music that was quite beatiful. Also Kris Myers putting on his soul shoes and doing James Brown right in set 2 was a real treat!
The All in time of this show will be forever in my mind of how far UM can take it, in all different facets and forms of music. And dont forget about how badass it gets wheen cody dickinson does washboard on the slacker. Jake and Cody get dark and heavy and wonderful.

Easily the most intimate setting I've seen UM to date. The venue was small, packed, and had excellent energy. Unfortunately, I feel this night was a recovery and intermission between Beacon and Brooklyn Bowl for the band. The set wasn't nearly as fast paced or rocking as I'd have liked. However, this isn't to dissuade you from checking it, easily some of the BEST banter of the year no doubt.
Not a Domino Theory fan or Strangers, but both were typical good stuff. BB opened the Girlfriend's Better as a tribute to Manti T'eo and substituted the lyrics for "I have a girlfriend who doesn't exist." Absolutely hilarious and had the crowd really digging it. This made the night. Loved the Dump City then a nice jazz/rock Mulche's to close her out.
The Floyd cover really killed it and the Jimmy had some great improv. Although Visions of Parin isn't one of my favorites, I really thought they were about to cover Hall & Oates, really cool key teases by Joella.
Unfortunately, big mishap during an otherwise great Higgins: Stasik's bass amp was thrown into stand by because of power issues. They managed to recover. JaJunk made for a great encore: real happy to see they played it for us instead of saving it for Brooklyn!
Highlight: Girlfriend is Better (tribute to Manti T'eo)
I can commiserate with danoc, missed the intro and most of 40's due to tough travels from Boston.
N2F > Ocean Billy was monstrous and well overdue in the past few shows. There is a great Jake solo to close it out. Although I'm not a tremendous Radiohead fan, those who like them will really enjoy the rare Weird Fishes cover. Plunger was a great heavy hitter to close the first set.
22 minutes of domination to start the second set with Strings. The entire follow up was a continual rager. Wormborg, Wappy, Ex1 w/ sax were wonderful. Wappy jam was more smooth than too metal. Finally, the Life During Exodus had the crowd going absolute NUTS! Loved the Heads tribute in NY and first replay since it's intro at Milwaukee. Not a huge Booth Love fan myself, but I enjoyed it. The reprise of Strings was expected and welcomed, great close to their first performance at the Beacon.
Personal Highlights: Wappy > Ex1, LDE

This was also my second show, after seeing them at Bonnaroo on 6/16. I loved them the first time because I had been listening to Anchor Drops on loop in my car for about a year before I got a chance to see them. But I would have to say that this was the first show where I 'got it,' in the sense that the music moved me in a way I'd never had a band do before. Might sound trite, but it's the truth.
I also have a fond place in my heart for this show, because it was the first show I ever saw at the Tabernacle. Wow. A bunch of Tabby memories later, I can honestly say that there is no place I would rather see an Umphrey's McGee concert than that venue. The energy was off the hook that night, as it always is in Atlanta, regardless of venue.
The musical moments that stood out to me were the Walletsworth>N2F. I could see those songs at every show from here on out and be happy as hell. In the Kitchen was great as well.
In the second set, it's hard for me to think about anything other than the Hendrix Jam on Power of Soul to kick it off. Talk about fire to start off a ridiculous second set, both in terms of the band being on top of their game and a kick ass set list. And the 2nd Self, Dirty Love > God Gave Rock encore was amazing.

Wasn't able to catch Leave Me Las Vegas due to the fact that NYC cab drivers are idiots, further more...40's Theme immediately grabbed everyones attention to make it clear there was no messing around in the Beacon. Conduit jammed hard got the energy flowing through what was a slow crowd for the most part. Roulette was a good in between song for conduit and NTF. Ocean Billy was fucking killer. 20 minutes or so, Weird Fishes was pretty cool considering they've only played it 4 other times. Good cover, plunger was good way to end the set i prefer the one from the Fillmore on Halloween more. 2nd Set: Puppet String which rocked the house down(unfinished, saw it coming form a while away), the linear put it back together and professor wormbog was really cool, big fan of that. wappy sprayberry was killer, 1st time seeing that and the light show was unreal. Example 1 with the sax was awesome, huge fan of that song. easily the best of the night. Exodus had a ton of energy and really had the beacon freaking out. Booth Love was expected but was very well played, finished by Puppet String. Great show overall...the crowd was sleeping in NYC. not a philly crowd thats for sure UM.
Umphrey's McGee @ Penn's Peak is by far the most beautiful thing these two eyes have ever witnessed. Coming out to Nipple Trix is always a treat to start off a show. Grabbed everyone attention from the start...right into an original but yet wonderful Wife Soup. RtB was good for the venue right into a Floyd cover(Breathe) with a dub theme which was pretty bad ass. Much Obliged was awesome, very funky..very very funky. big fan of that. Uncommon and eat were accepted by me. 2x2 is a great way to end the 1st set and get us real pumped up for the 2nd. 2nd Set: Robot World was kick ass, jammed hard for a long ass time, into an attention grabbing higgins to bring people back to real life. DBK was perfect, give that a listen if u can. Into a No Comment that made people get down, back into DBK. Exodus was a dance party and really had people enjoying the moment. Didn't see that one coming, a perfect ALT left people nearly crying as the set came to a finish. Encore: came out to a WBG into Joel's favorite Orfeo back into WBG to end the show. Great show everyone who was there was given a kick ass show and after that halloween run left people begging UM to come back to the east coast. UM

This venue is new and extremely intimate. Holds only 750 people and even that is split between the main floor and a small balcony. The created a very cool vibe that ended up exploding with energy throughout the show.
From the second Umphrey's stepped on the stage you knew it was going to be a special night. They skipped the intro, which seems to be how every show has been starting the past few tours. First set was filled with special moments but the highlights were definitely the jams during Girlfriend is Better and Dump City (Finally got this song! only took 48 shows to hear it). Syncopated, morning song, and ending the set with mulches was a nice touch too.
The 2nd set was monstrous. Straight out the gates, In the flesh through 2nd self is action packed and extremely tight. You could look around the room and just see minds being blown left and right. The jams were incredible! Another brick int he wall, sociable jimmy, and visions, bahhh it was just insane. You will just have to hear to show to understand. Not sure if i've seen them close a show with higgins, but worked out beautifully with a nice dubby jam in the middle.
Jajunk is always great as an encore. It really encompasses everything that is umphreys. On top of that the jam in this version is epic. Stasik goes wild, as does the crowd.
Shenanigans, thats all I can say about this show.

Hands down the best show of 2011 and one of the best shows UM has ever played. This show is packed to the gills with quality improv. From the GA, to the Reso, to the August there is something for everybody here. If you haven't heard this show or don't have it in your UM collection, stop reading and download it now. Guaranteed to please!

Do also wanna add Got Your Milk amazing and kinda surprisingly so in my eyes. What a treat tough love this fucking band.
Another amazing night in Charlotte. I almost missed this gem but was convinced to go last minute and do not regret it a bit. This show was top notch from the opener, Crooked One, a personal favorite, onwards I knew this was a night to remember. Best 2x2 I've heard in a minute. Oh and a bit of 2 Tickets to Paradise just for fun. Hbb raged hardcore to open second set. Skeptical initially of 40's to close set but was very pleasantly surprised by both that and 3x wide encore. Regulate was a first for me and another just for fun tune that was a blast for both band and fans.
Incredible night. The energy was through the roof. Was happy to see my friends in UM Nation get down to my boys moon taxi first off. Then Umph blew the tabernacle apart. Rocker was a very special moment in which I was glad to be a part. Whole acoustic "set" very good with great song selections. Second set was hot from the start with bright lights> cocaine> bright lights being a highlight of the weekend. Domino> sine on> domino was a surprising sandwich although it thoroughly delighted this fan.

Ive seen my fare share of UM shows and this one could possibly be the best show Ive seen them play. As far as consistency, patient playing, segues and song selection this is a barn burner for sure. Not being bias at all since it was my best friend Robs b-day Gradenko! We kind of helped make this happen. As long as you request ahead of time and it makes since they will deliver. And this show def delivers, the most listened UM show in my collection after seeing them since 03 says a lot.

For an earlier version of Cut the Cable, check out the Ringo from 2011/11/05 in Milwaukee. Has a little more of a spacey/psychedelic feel to it.

Amazing cap to a 4 night run. The 30th and 31st were my favorite shows but all were amazing. There was also a blackbird tease at the beginning of glory that you can hear the crowd to react to.

I was so happy to hear thats Umphrey's was playing at North Coast again since I wasn't old enough to go the first year. Me and my buddy were at Atmosphere so we missed the first little bit of gurgle, but then we came in for Ocean Billy and the boys brought the thunder it was amazing Brendan sounded beautiful on this and Miami Virtue. Then hearing Mantis Ghetts was awesome since they play it so rarely. Crucial Taunt pumps everyone up just so they can smooth it all out into a sexy Daft Punk cover with Voyager. After they tore it up with Push The Pig they segued into JaJunk which was so delightfully jamtastic. Finally for the much wanted encore Brendan starts in with Puppet String which is followed by Jake so wonderfully going in on Eminence Front and then a strong finish with Puppet String again.
This is the fourth Umphrey's McGee show i've been to and they have yet to dissapoint.

This show was nothing short of amazing. This was my first chance at seeing a New Years show (Thanks Couch Tour!) and this just hit home for me.
There were parts of this show that I connected with emotionally in my life, and I have a whole new perspective on things, including my past, current, and future experiences. What a way to start a much needed New Year for me.
Thanks Umphs and keep up the great work!!! See you in GR and Detroit!

Shortened set due to Furthur playing passed their allotted time, apparently Phil got lost during set break. x_x
Despite that, the boys skipped all filler and pumped out the jams
This is still my favorite Puppet and I was super surprised at how well they did Tom Sawyer
Encore kinda disappointed me with a cover and the horns in jajunk were quite lackluster but nevertheless it was a great show
I was still not familiar with the whole catalog at this time and thought #5 was just a SICK jam in AIT, turned into one of my favorite songs after that.
13 days is always a treat and everyone was boogieing down to reelin in the years
As was stated, the ringo jam is prob the highlight of the show
I felt the AIT reprise should have closed the second set and it was a weird flow to end with thin air after a rocker
There were technical difficulties for the first 20 seconds or so of booth love until the full sound system kicked in.
Highlights were the miles Davis cover and the divisions> I'm on fire > divisions
Pretty sure this was the second time I'm on fire was played and I was lucky enough to catch the first one in Cleveland.
No one seems to mention the ZZ Top jam in Made To Measure, Waitin on the Bus!
It fits so perfectly and I wish they'd do it again sometime

Also my first show, the 42 minute All in Time > Wappy changed the way i looked at music forever. CW>CWII is quality dance party material. As was stated, the Shine On was magical, and the best one i've heard them do. A classic epic encore (that reso has everything in it!) My (bias) personal favorite show.

Much of this show is a little bit hazy for me, but it was probably the trippiest UM show I've ever seen. Check out the Push the Pig (the guitar sound drips out of the amps in a most psychedelic way.
Reelin' in the Years was a crowd favorite, and the Ringo jam is worth a listen, as well.
All in all a very fun show in a very awesome little venue.
This might have been some of the best UM I've seen to date. The place was packed. While I'm not a huge fan of this venue overall, the energy was good.
Eat and Got Your Milk made for a nice beginning to the show, and the Turn & Dub was excellent.
Second set was really what made this show, though. August was nice and the JJ>WW>JJ was top notch. The WW jam is a must listen.
This encore was perhaps the best UM encore I've seen. Nemo was a treat that I hope I see again soon, and the King Crimson sandwich was nice. Red was SUPER dark, and Waful absolutely crushed it with the lights. If you can find video, do it. I wish that the band had finished with the vocal harmony left hanging, though, rather than coming back in for the final chord. All in all a very solid show.
My first UM show. I walked/stumbled in completely unaware of the band or what I was about to see.
Though I certainly don't think this is the best UM I've ever seen, the set list placement for this show is spectacular and offered an extremely cohesive, fluid experience from beginning to end.
Highlights: Shine On You Crazy Diamond (I will never forget that spacey intro. My god.) and the entire encore, which just brought down the house. Definitely worth your time to listen.
One of my favorite versions of Visions (of Parin) ever. The break down with Stasik on the pedals is such an awesome moment. Very glad that this was posted on the youtube channel for visual reference of this great musical moment.

First off, I have to say that I think this is the best show from 2011, and those who attended this show were truly blessed to have seen this.
Set 1 kicks off with Example 1. The Example 1 is pretty standard until they get to the jam section of the song. The jam in this is a mid tempo rocking jam with tons of solos going all over the place, and it is this jam that pretty much sets the mood for the remainder of the show. They get into a high-energy version of Got Your Milk that, again, has a hard rocking stew with plenty of guitar fireworks from Jake and Brendan. It's probably the best Milk I've heard these guys do. Milk segues quite nicely into #5. #5 rocks pretty hard as well and has a sweet heavy stew in it as well. Milk -> #5 clocks in at over 25 minutes in length. They do a nice cover of Fool In The Rain, and although Brendan is no Robert Plant vocally, his vocals are adequate in this version. While this version isn't bad at all, it is probably the weakest link in this show (I use the term "weakest" in the loosest sense of the word). Search 4 comes out just as hard rocking as the Death By Stereo studio version and fits in perfectly with the rest of the hard rock in this set. The set finishes off with Last Man Swerving > Believe The Lie. Last Man Swerving is an 18+ minute treat, and has a nice long jam that can only be best described as 70's prog-disco. Not funky and not hard rock either. Imagine Animals-era Pink Floyd with some disco elements and you get the picture. Believe The Lie rocks harder than what you normally hear in this song live and has some nice 70's prog that seems to be somewhat inspired by Kansas, but is done in UM's unique way. Check out the guitar solos that kick in at the 7:12 point of the song - Jake and Brendan do some serious (but short) shredding!
Set 2 kicks off with a nearly 31 minute long DBK. Again, keeping in the hard rock/prog theme of the show, this is one of the hardest rocking DBKs they've done. If you don't catch yourself playing air guitar during the first 8 minutes of DBK, then you need to check your pulse. At around the 8:05 mark, the band throws down some of the same style of 70's prog-disco that was done on Last Man Swerving without repeating what was done during Last Man Swerving (I hope that sentence made sense). Between 8:05 and the 21 minute mark, there's a lot going on with this jam as this jam conjures up Animals-era Pink Floyd, jazzy interludes and even some Metallica-like shredding at around the 20:30 mark. The jam changes into a jazzy section at the 21 minute mark that lasts until the 26:40 mark. At 26:40, the jam gets heavy with seriously fast rhythm guitar that puts Metallica to shame and then goes back to the jazzy section. The last minute is the outro riff of DBK. Next comes a hard rocking I Am The Walrus that is quite stellar with some kick-ass Jake solos throughout. Even The Bottom Half rocks harder than usual and UM takes the song into a slightly different direction than usual with the Simple Gifts jam, and contains a hard rock ending. Slacker, like every other song here, is a harder version with a bluesy section at about 2:40 that sounds like ZZ Top experimenting with jazz styles. And then if you hadn't had enough, they bring down the house with an insane Wizard Burial Ground that will just leave your jaw on the ground.
Even Bright Lights as the encore is a hard rocking version as well.
Overall, this show is completely worth the purchase! As I stated in the beginning, this is the best show of 2011. Unfortunately, it's also overlooked as this show was sandwiched in between the 10/29 Hauntlanta and 11/5 Milwaukee shows. This is a 13 song show, which is very reminiscient of the 2006-2008 era, plus the 5 song 2nd set is a throwback to that era as well. It displays the harder side of UM and is a consistent theme throughout the show.
You can check out this show on youtube. Just type in umphrey's mcgee clifton park and watch the videos of this show that were put up by axanodus.
Enjoy this show! Well worth the $$.

My first umphreys show.
This is a first set that features almost no improv outside of the opening JO. This opening JO is a dark, bass driven theme that offers some nice keyboard support from Jake early on with dueling guitar riffs toward the end. I always hoped for this JO to pop up again, but it hasn't yet so far. Alex's house replaces both segments of improv usually associated with DBK. I think this works nicely, the outro of alex's house drops nicely into the end of DBK. I frequently revisit this opening 40 min segment.
The second set picks up some steam with N2F. During the lengthy jam (track length is about 23 mins for the first half), Allen from the biscuits replaces Kris on the drums (for his birthday jam!). The first half of the jam is kind of lackluster, not much going on, then Allen kicks up the tempo and the jam starts to take off. FF was a treat at my first show, it was and always has been a favorite of mine. The improv out of FF is downtempo and showcases some soaring guitar riffs from jake and a nice jam that leads back into the ending of N2F. Brendan breaks out the booty wax for the hangover reprise and gets the crowd involved with the set 2 closer.
Standard snucka encore. During jakes solo section, I remember he was playing with this massive novelty size pick. This thing was the size of a dinner plate. It was kinda cool to watch and hear him rip it up as bras and panties were thrown on stage. Snucka ends as the boys wish us safely on our way home and warn us in the distorted voice not to let strange people touch us in any weird way.
A fun show, nothing too mindblowing, but we all have to start somewhere

This was the first time I "really" traveled for an UM show. All of my previous shows were less than a 90 drive away. For this one, me and 3 kids from Providence (who were Noodles' roommates) drove from PC to Burlington. My plan was to catch 9/29 and 9/30, then go back to school. Then hit up the bus to New Haven and stay with my buddy at Conn College and do 10/4. Go back to school, then catch the bus again and stay with my buddy at WPI and do 10/6. Luckily everything fell into place and worked.
What can I say about this show that hasn't already been said. This is definitely one of my top 5 seen shows out of 69, and maybe even number 1. (It's so hard to pick a favorite.)
It was something about the monster jams, and it was really one of the first shows, where there were a ton of members from the OG bort all chilling together. I remember we had a hotel room at the Holiday Inn and there were probably 15 or 20 of us from the bort.
This show is all about the Dump City, Tribute, TINKLES, PIG, Porch, and Senor Mouse. All of these songs are top 10 versions of all time, and I would know considering I've listened to countless shows.
After the show I remember we all went back to one hotel room, and we looked at each other being like "Holy Fuck was that show good." I was in the room with people like Noodles, DanRad, Grover, and pick, guys who had seen tons of shows up to that point. And we all agreed that it was one of the greatest shows we had seen from UM.

My first time spent in LA just with friends, this venue was right on the edge of Hollywood... with like, strange vibes, really superficial people. And they came out starting with Syncopated Strangers, which was like a perfect complement... and the sound of this show fits really well, acoustics and what not.
At the end of Sync, when you're expecting that finishing major resolution, it comes straight in with a punch from an abstract intro to Hurt Bird Bath, that turns you inside out. Great 1st improv, and after the heavy hits, goes into this eerie slow composition, turning really heavy, it's giving me pins and needles writing about it. To me, it seemed like a perfect reaction to the environment.
Check it out, at least those two songs!

i stumbled across the video that 40sThemeWI mentioned on youtube in 2006 and was blown away. i had heard umphrey's on college radio before but never anything live. listening to this show got me hooked on them and i've been a huge fan ever since.
the stewart before walletsworth is a stand-out version, but the 2nd set / encore is FANTASTIC.

The energy was through the roof for this show! Started off right away with nipples>Wife Soup which was a treat and got the flow of the night going. This was a great show for rarities(for me anyways). Got my first Robots world which I think was the jam of the night, my second no comment, wife soup, WBG, Orfeo and uncommon all of them btw were welcomed by me. RtB had a nice jam solid jam in it and went into a reggae/funky PF cover. MO had the best jam for the first set that took a little bit to develop but took off than dropped right into Uncommon which was great! Eat was its standard self but 2x2 was a great way to finish the set and got everyone extremely pumped for the second set.
Robot world opener was insane. Have not listened back to it yet but was around 15 minutes long and contained a heavy dance party/industrial jam in it that was real legit. Highlight right there for me. Higgins is a good song that always contains excellent jams/guitar dueling and did not disappoint! DBK>NC>DBK is beautiful. Love DBK and the jams that it produces! No comment did let the energy subside some what but the last part of DBK always picks up the energy no matter what precedes it. Life During Exodus was an excellent mash up and loved how they were able to combine Marley/Talking Heads/Zappa into one fluid sick ass song. Some of my favorite bands/musicians mashed into one song, no complaints from me here! Ended the set with a standard AIT. Seemed rushed but I do love this song though it needs room to breathe and defiantly is not a good choice with only 10 minutes left in the set.
Encore was awesome. Took me seeing WBG live to really appreciate the song and I really enjoyed this version with Orfeo breaking up the heaviness that ensues during WBG.
Excellent show all around. They always throw down at JT so if you are within driving distance dont miss the next time they are in the area!

awesome show,great comedy from the band. brendan mentioned after padgetts that stasik triple dog dared him to talk like a cowboy all night,and there were times when i thought he would slip but he was blazin saddles for the whole show. there were some jokes about there being a lack of "senoritas" at this show. best part for me was running into 3 of my best friends from junior high back in mass, only at an umphreys show

Last night my love was playing mandolin for our 8 week old son. For the first time I could see his bright eyes following his Dad's hands across the frets. He was entirely captivated and it was amazing to witness his mind being blown open. That's how I am feeling as I listen to the 3-9-12 show in Denver, CO.
What an incredible show!!! Cheers to the kind fan who pieced together videos along with the soundboard, then posted it on youtube so that I can rock out in my living room with my little guy. He was listening intently but our dancing rocked him asleep in the first set. :)
Now.. where to begin.. ah yes, the primal beginning...
*Gurgle* is such a delicious and juicy way to begin an Umphrey's McGee show. I got to catch one @ the Filmore in Charlotte a month or so earlier than this show.. This song is very earthy and primal.. Like an orange harvest moon rising over the horizon.. there's no way to hide from its magnetizing pull.. to the front row. :)
...And we are tossed into a *40's theme*.. A lighthearted song that sparks comaraderie among the new & old fans alike..Once we enter the jam, it's obvious that the boys are on fire... i n c r e d i b l e ..
Naturally things get steamy as we are dipped into the *Ocean Billy*..mmm yes.. This song has been and will forever be a treasure in the hearts of UM fans across the planet, right? So smooth, majestic, and powerful..Reminded me of Halloween last year in Atlanta. I had driven down from the Mountains.. just in time.. well 5 minutes late..I was driving to the Tabby and felt like I was floating down the highway escorted by angels. I was supposed to be there. I had my I-pod on Shuffle and Ocean Billy came on probably at the same exact time as you guys were playing it. I made it upstairs and found my friend, the LOVELY Kevin Cassels during the second song! Lucky for me you went back into Billy later in the show. My very close friend who I would often sing and perform with had just taken his life days before. Very unexpectedly. Coming to this show was a spiritual journey for me. VERY healing, I sang my heart out, in honor of him. (The Let it Be/No Woman No Cry mash up was medicine to my spirit) THANK YOU...
I will never forget how I felt the first time I heard *Miami Virtue*..It was the album version. It grabbed me right away; my mind devoured the punchy verses. It's such a fun song to sing. The harmonies during the chorus are outstanding but when I first saw it performed live in Charlotte 2012, I was disappointed! I couldn't believe how weak the chorus felt/sounded live. This was good for me though, it reminded me that you guys are human...The 'perfection' I heard you create in the studio will come in time to your performance. Only a month after the Charlotte show and this *Miami Virtue* already sounds more unified..the jam you've been jumping right into is fresh and fast, carrying the energy into a new realm. I like how this particular realm is emotional and spiritual..
*Morning Song*. Perfect. There's an uneasy feeling that is ultimately resolved. Love and heartache go hand and hand with the human condition.. Everybody can relate to this song with such powerful emotions and memories, adding to the collective energy. Let's mourn together! How about, *In the Kitchen*?
Old School *Kitchen* but where are they going to take it? *GLORY*! Glory is so0000 delightful.. everything DOES happen for a reason. We learn and grow from our sorrows. Glory, Glory, Hallelujah. The boys bring us back into the Kitchen with a new confidence.. sweet dance party 'jam' at the end!
"Ryan Stasik & The Rat Tails!" haha.. You guys are hilarious. Set break! (I love how the person who posted the video of this show gives viewers a set break.. I had a chance to take my little Odin out of the sling and swaddle him up in his crib for the night.. sweet dreams, Mama will be melting her face in the living room if you need her!)
Set 2! Way to bring the heat back with Puppet String. Guys, this song is incredible. The harmonics sparkle and then we are entranced with Ryan's BEST base line, hands down. Then Brendan lays it down, WHAT DO WE REALLY KNOW? Oh tiny humans made of star dust, what is truth?

After the almost broken toe incident of the prior night, I almost didn't make it to this show. I went back home and got my foot wrapped up, and then made the drive out with my friend Scott.
The venue was absolute beautiful and I hope the band makes it out here again. The place was empty, as in it holds probably 2,000 people and there were probably 200 people here.
Out of Order has a 3 minute jam coming out of it and Soul Food has one of the hardest peaking jams I have ever heard.
Set break was really cool as the entire band hung out with the crowd, including Joel and Andy tossing the frisbee around in the park. I met Myers for the first time and he said that the place had a "Stephen King vibe" which I thought was pretty funny.
This show featured the debut of the Rock Fuzz which was awesome, and had a sick transition into Tinkles. Walking on the Moon was a great cover for the venue and Mail Package stew was cool to see as an encore.
I really hope they come back to this place this summer, as they would definitely fill it up a lot more than they did that beautiful night in July.
This would be 2nd of many shows at Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom. I've seen moe here a bunch of times too, and although a lot of people hate it, I just have a thing for this place. I always chill on the beach all afternoon and then hang out at the parking lot next to the police station and party with all of the other concert goers.
I, like an idiot, was wearing birkenstock sandels to this show and nailed my big toe against the curb walking in. I was convinced I broke my toe and was pissed off, but it turned out it was just severely bruised.
The Utopian through the rest of the set it some of the best UM I have ever heard. The Liquid jam is one of my most listened to segments ever and if you haven't heard it, you need to now.
This was also the first times I actually kept a notebook setlist for a show, and was pretty fun doing it at the time.
The second set is nothing to really write home about, except for the WWS, and my first AIT. But the first set is one of the best first set's you will here.
Definitely check out the Liquid because you will love it forever.
This was one of the weirder shows that I have been to. So the old Avalon (which is now the House of Blues) used to have a club night, like a lot of venues do. This show started at exactly 7PM, and at that time, there were probably 200 people still outside in line. It was one of only two shows, that I wasn't inside for the beginning of the show (the other being 9/8/11.) I was outside until the end of GYMRH, and I tried to get in with my fake ID. No luck and I got it swiped, so I wasn't in a good mood when I got in because that was my baby haha.
The Blue Echo will go down in history as one of the best jams the band has ever done, and I still stick by that to this day. It also had the debut of Words which I didn't realize hadn't been played to this point.
The Jajunk opener was fire and I got one of my many Rocker's of 06. Good Ol Boys and the piano piece were good rarities to cross off.
The show was over at 10 PM but it feature the 2 new songs that I had not heard, so it was nice to hear them.
Overall it was a weird show but they packed a punch in what was probably my shortest UM show ever.
This was the first show where I really got IT. It was a random rainy night in Providence and I remember taking the RIPTA down to Lupo's while everybody else was taking it to the Dunkin Donuts Center to watch our shitty basketball team get crushed by another Big East opponent. I went to this show by myself and did not know anyone else there, it was just me and the band. The Visions > Phil's Farm was what sealed it for me. I hadn't felt that type of intensity from a band before. I wasn't around in the mid-90's to get all the incredible Phish shows. This was our generation's jam band. The second set was all a blur for me at this point, but that end of the first set was the reason I am still seeing them today.
This show was probably the drunkest I have ever been, and the loosest I have ever seen the band (rivaled by only the acoustic 4/5/09 show at Toad's 3 years later.) I took the Peter Pan bus down from Providence for this, and me and my buddies at Conn College got absolutely blasted for this show.
The jam in the Last Man Swerving is definitely worth checking out as the rest of the set isn't very noteworthy.
At set break, my friend got kicked out of the venue 3 separate times, but got let in again each time. He ran into Jen Hartswick at some point and went up to her and said "Will you sign my ticket stub saying 'I played with Trey?'" She looked at him and just gave him a flat out "No."
The 2nd set an encore are noteworthy for the amount of between song banter that was going on. The show was on Valentine's Day, and considering that UM show's are about 85% men, the band was kind of poking fun that almost everyone there didn't have dates. The jam before Tinkle's had Myer's on Guitar and Brendan on Drums and was in the feel of Brendan is gay and what not. You could tell the band was just going all out cause they knew the crowd was rowdy and loose.
On tape it's not one of my favorite shows, but the experience as a hammered 20 year old single college student was one to be remembered for a lifetime.
This was my first "real show" after my first being the Big Summer Classic at Mansfield. I was a Sophomore at Providence College and was very excited to see Umphrey's play at our college town Lupo's venue.
The first 2 songs that they played, ended up being on my "boring list" for about 3 years, and now they have turned into UM's biggest jam vehicles. From what I remember, this Ocean Billy was pretty solid, and the Water was standard at best.
WMM and Nemo were two songs that I had heard and like before, so those were good to hear.
The ending segment of this first set is what you want to listen to if you pick up this show. At the time I didn't realize how rare SFB and Sweetness were, but there is an awesome jam out of these songs, that you should definitely hear.
The Jessica closer was awesome, as it was another cover that everybody knew and got the crowd rocking going into setbreak.
Roulette was a weird 2nd set opener, but The Triple Wide followed and this was a turning point for me in my UM career, because up to this point, I had never heard them do a "Dance Party" jam. And this was a great one that included the disco ball at the top of the venue.
Divisions followed which I had seen in Mansfield, so that was great to hear again. The 2nd half of this set and the encore are all standard straight forward tunes, but it was a great show to have as a first "real show."
This was my first of (as of now) 69 shows. I first found out about UM after they did the "Molester Medley" for Halloween 2004. Phish had just broken up and I needed a new band to fill the void. I listened to the song Anchor Drops, and absolutely loved it, so I got the album for Christmas that year. This show was the first one in the NE region for that year, and it's kind of crazy to think that now, as they have played here in the winter ever since.
As soon as this show was announced, me and my buddy Rob grabbed tickets. Umphrey's, String Cheese, and Keller Williams was definitely a nice draw for us. We also wanted to see this band New Monsoon, but their set time was like 1 PM, so we said screw it.
Mulche's Odyssey featured a pause during the peaking jam to let the crowd know that KB was getting married. And they had an impromptu acapella "Kevin's Getting Married" tune. Divisions was an amazing song to see as my first "big" UM song. There wasn't any improv, just a straight stand-alone Divisions. Push The Pig had Franti come out and do some raps and stuff. Kinda cool for the 19 year old that I was at the time, but whatever. Wife Soup was a song I knew and was pumped to hear. Next was the only time I got a "I've Got A Feeling." 69 shows and still not another one haha. But I just remember being pumped to hear Bayliss nail the vocals for one of my favorite bands of all time. Finally came JaJunk which was another song I knew and was happy to hear.
All in all, it was a great introduction to a band that I would be following around for the next 7 years of my life.

Kickass Show. Kickass setlist. Bayliss dedicated Mulche's to some kid for his birthday which was sweet. Kris came out after and talk with some of us as well as Brendan. Best band out there. I had to scoop up my face with a cup.

Ever since me and a few of my buddies made the trip from Auburn, AL up to Asheville, NC for this one it has been known amongst us as "The Show". It was a fantastic atmosphere as well as a kick ass setlist.
The first set was killer with a dance party in red tape. sweet home alabama teases in bad poker. and epic tinkle. the burning down the house cover was awesome. the moog theremin plus jake makes for a trippy and mesmerizing jam.
The plunger after the set break was classic with an intricate and deep jam that jake and BB rocked. Last man swerving had a badass progressive jam.ROUNDABOUT!!!!! enough said. all of that goes back into plunger all perfectly executed.
Then the encore was completely opposite sides of the spectrum. A great show! i recommend it to a new found UM fan or a seasoned vet.

This show was bloody fantastic start to finish. With a Wife Soup opener you know you are in for a treat. The Much Obliged jam was dirty, had a couple different sections worth listening to. If you're looking for a metal, in your face, rock show look no further. Wizard into a full band Orfeo was beautiful, and the return to wizard flawlessly segued into Joel's piano solo.
Personal highlights: Wife soup, MO> Uncommon, 2x2, Robot World> Higgins, Wizard> Orfeo> Wizard
**Just have more fun than everyone around you**

I saw UM for my first time at Penn's Peak last time they played there. I was really excited to go back, and expected a heater. The band delivered!
Set 1 started of strong with Wife Soup, but then I got a little down because of RtB and breathe goin down. The MO started to pick things up and then BAM! Uncommon! Was this the bustout Joel tweeted about earlier? BAM Eat! 2x2 had a little bit of nice improv and Bayliss was tearing it up.
Set 2 started off with a bang with Robot World. It got real heavy real fast. Like dark industrial style.
The Segue into Higgins was executed well and this quickly became the jam of the night IMO. I was really hoping for a big DBK and we got it! the first part at least. It was real strong and then they threw in No Comment which wasn't a disappointment because its such a fun song. It seemed like a strange song to throw into an otherwise heavy portion of the set but it wasn't awkward in the least. That's why I love this band so much.
I wasn't a huge fan of the mashup, and the AIT was standard. When the encore was WBG I was starting to get ready to leave and then what? FULL BAND ORFEO?!?! It was a real treat to see so many gems at one show.
After the show on Wednesday at the Fillmore it was REALLY nice to have a lot more room in this venue.
I love Penn's Peak and I love UM! Please come back next year!

Loved the Phil's sandwich, Example 1 was funky, sick jam in Domino Theory. Thin Air with In the Hall of the Mountain King ending! Sunglasses at Night in the Triple Wide was epic! 22min DBK?! Awesome show overall, my third, second time at House of Blues. I have to say though, I really dislike this venue. Security guards are very rude, the bar offers no craft beers at all, and its like $8 for a tall yuengling.

First off, if you're seeing Umph at HOB Boston in the future, get there plenty early. A February line next to Fenway isn't all that pleasant. We managed to get in during JaJunk, after waiting at least 30-40 minutes in line, and there was still a looooong line behind us.
I loved the Stew. I loved the Walking on the Moon, for the flashback to my younger days. I loved Puppet String. I really loved the Divisions (as the political nonsense was just starting to get fun, Waful did an excellent red v. blue lighting concept during the soulful last part of the song; "All my...divided" had the stage split with blue and red, up to the "until it fades," where the lights went all white--thanks, Waful!).
I loved the Domino. I always love me some Wappy, and to keep the dance vibe alive through Booth Love, followed by the always beautiful Haj. Delicious show.

Amazing show. More amazing than the music though was the set break entertainment. In the second row of (or maybe third) of seats there was a dude peaking hard. He was out of his mind and everyone was enjoying the show. The moment security came by he decided it was good time to drop his pants. Not wanting to touch naked man junk the security and cops actually just let him be for a good while. However, once the second set started I am pretty sure they took him out.

When you look at the amount of songs on the setlists, you can tell that this is not an improv-heavy show by any means. That is not to say that this is a bad show. In fact, this show is just pure fire, in my opinion.
Set 1 kicks off with Catshot that segues nicely into Mantis. Taking no break in-between, UM adds a little funk into the mix and goes directly into Space Funk Booty. Slacker pops up next and has some nice dance-rock improv in it. Then, UM gets laid back a bit with Anchor Drops before turning up the heaviness on Go to Hell. UM then goes into chill mode with Great American > Susanah > Great American. UM then rocks again with Turn & Run with Mantis as the set closer.
Set 2 opens with a nice DBK sandwich with Floyd filling. Great improv in DBK, by the way. FF, as always, is solid, seguing into Wappy, which again, has a great slab of improv. Plunger > Synco > Plunger, while looking weird on paper, is actually really cool. They close out set 2 with Dutchman.
Come Closer is my favorite UM mashup song, so it was really cool to hear this as an encore.
In a nutshell, outside of Slacker, DBK and Wappy, you will not find much in the way of improv, but what UM lacks in improv, they more than make up with a high energy performance. While I did not attend this show, I was told by those who attended that it was a pretty wild crowd and that UM fed off of that energy.
If you're not hung up on the amount of improv, this is a great show to pick up!

One of my favorite shows:
one of the best Robot Worlds I have ever heard and a very large Pony led Phil's that goes from Dance > One slow verse of Peeps > Dance > RAWK
Also some great improv in Tribute, Water, Bottom 1/2, and a haunting lyrical stew in Sweetness

When it comes to UM at Summercamp, I think this is THE show that Umphreaks would agree is the top dog. Up to 2008, UM had slowly been usurping their dominance over Summercamp leading up to this show. 2006 saw the 1st time that UM got a headlining set/show on the 'main stage' and that began the ascension up the SC throne. 2007 also gave UM a headlining show, but 2008 set the stage for SC to be UM's festie to dominate, if ya ask me.
1st set began with ideal weather. Cool and sunny.
Strong Floor out of the gates that segued nicely into Mitten rife with Jetson's teases. Nothing super noteworthy here, but solid nonetheless. The real fireworks came with what quite possibly may be the best Utopian ever. Super lengthy jam that gets super dancey with Kris nailing on the e-drums. There are 3 distinct sections to the improv, each one topping the other culminating to an amazing peak. Killer soundbites from Big Lebowski and GoodFellas sprinkled throughout. Top Shelf UM at its finest!!!
In between sets the temperature dropped a good 10 degrees, and the start of the set saw the boys in hoodies and long sleeves.
Strong intro>Mulche's was fast and furious but the real fireworks began with the Divisions>Phil's>Divisions. GREAT segue into Phil's (super slinky) and this Phil's is not to be missed. They deviate so far from the theme that it goes unfinished>>>Divisions.
DBK>Wappy>DBK is a super strong combo as well. Once the DBK finishes, there was no doubt that UM had played their best set to date at Summercamp.
Shine On encore just seemed to fit perfectly.
After this show is where we met Nickmo! Great night indeed!!

Hurricane Ike epicness.
Main stage rained out, practice gear set up in the coverd Harvest Tent.
Rain like I've never seen before; mud above my ankles, tent and many other things destroyed/blown away.
Next morning, all roads leaving the Mountain were closed (downed trees).
Most insane show I have seen to date.

Finally got an Intentions Clear, Morning Song, a Padgett's, the list goes on and on. This was the pop up set of all pop up sets. White Pickle and Den are fourth quarter UM Bowl jams so its neat to see those out on tour after witnessing them once before. Throw a second Mail Package and a Slacker on top of that as well? Shit. Bridgeless>Cherub Rock was insane, and Kris tearing it up with Mother? Dopest of dope. At first we thought this night was going to be the warm up for Saturday but holy god were we wrong. Excellent Halloween run.

This night rivals night 2 at the Riverside in my opinion....both were phenomenal but this night is silly good. Intentions clear gets really funky and jammy and then I went absolutely bolistic when I got white pickle into den...anyone who went to UMbowl 3 should have a deep appreciation for how insanely great these two tunes really are! I called the Padgett's profile before the show and was going nuts when they ended set 1 with it. UM was really going for it in the new venue and the sound was AWESOME downstairs! Set 2 continues with a bunch of stuff we havent gotten in a while....Mail Package, resolution wiht great jam from previous halloween, and morning song was beautiful! Kris Myers was in rock star mode for Mother where he sang and ran all over the stage....awesome start to the weekend!
This mash-up weekend was a blast! Anyone from Wisco has been wishing and hoping for UM to start rocking the Riverside instead of the horrible sounding Rave across town. I was super excited to hear smell the mitten which has a nice dance party jam on it....I havent gotten that one in many years now. All the mashups are spot on but my favorite was Life During Exodus. Rocker Pt. 2 is an epic uplifter and the Kabump was a gem to get as well...5 out of 5....great rager!

2nd time at Cleveland HOB. Gotta agree, heavy on the security. (Those poor hot body surfers being groped by the crowd, then escorted out by the heavies.) Solid show, BB tore it up, killer cover of Temple of the Dog tune. Jake played back a bit. I like that he can do that comfortably & still rock us. Great show.

This was my 4th show. It was a wild show filled with samples, awesome banter, and really unique jams and fun covers. Well basically what every UM show is. Plus, it was quite an adventure to get there to say the least. Let's begin.
After my flight got delayed multiple times a 45 minutes flight from Cleveland to Chicago ended up to be super duper stressful and if you know my concert anxiety I was a nervous wreck.I am pretty sure I could have driven to Chicago for as long as I was at the airport.
Finally I arrived Chicago. My buddy picked me up and then it was off to Urbana. I think it was snowed and it took forever to drive there. I was ready to rage.
As we walked in the venue Joel& Pony started "August." We had made itI It was a mad house in there. It was like new years in April. People were hammered and wanted to rage. I was not too familiar with the band at this point so we watched Budney's light show for a while. Then moved to Bayliss' side, then Jake's. The August jam was awesome. Each section cooler than the next.
The whole first set was one seamless transition. There was a really cool wah-wah Jake led solo to made it's way into "Utopian Fir." There were really raunchy funky jams in this version. Each section was drastically different than the next. This "Fir" I compare every "Fir" I've ever heard to.
The "Passing" was great. It had a graceful transition from Fir. Great segue led from the Wizard led to "Andy's Last Beer."
"Have you guy's been boozin?" BB
"This sounds really Fucked up" Jaco
"Sounds like a wash" BB
The "13 days" mixed up the rager. This calmed down the audience. Not really.
"All right Champaign!" Kris yelled as he channeled Diamond Dave prior to "Running with the Devil."
I though what can't these guys do? and that drummer can fucking sing. Next up was "All In Time."
People hooted and hollered. It was a great version. Jaco went crazy. The percussion was off the wall. I was more than hooked.
What a first set!
Set 2.
The "Miss Tinkles Overture" started things off. Kris pounded the snare. The dual guitar attack took off. A great jam led by Jaco. The first jam got weird. Then branched out and incorperated Rockwell's "Somebody's watching Me" teases. Who does that? It went multiple mind bending places prior to resurfacing and ending the overture.
This "Resolution" scarred me for life with the "Welcome" sample in the beginning portion of the song.
Thanks Farag!
The jams were fun. Over all over the place. The Wizard had a great organ solo. They were jams that made me think about the potential of the band.
"Sociable Jimmy" had perfect placement. Bayliss altered the lyrics. Joel had a killer Rhodes solo.
"Joel Cummins on the keys"
Bayliss mentioned it was Steve & Bebop's birthday as well Budney's. I think every night UM played in '05 it was Budney's birthday or at to the shows I attended or bought. He must be as old as Joel now.
Amsterdam & Ozzy jokes galore.
"Ozzy" led to a cool beatbox intro for "Atmosfarag." Some how they pulled off a transition that was very 'Jim-Morrison-in-the-desert' sounding jam into "Blackwater." Jake & Bayliss added Badunkadunk at the end.
Kris had some great commentary after this song.
"America! Fuck yea" Kris
"You tend to bitch and moan" Jaco
I loved what they teased in "Prowler" and that led to "Glory." Jaco went ballistic.
"This next song is about getting drunk" was the intro to "Last Man Swerving" a lot of Umspeak in this one. Then Bam! They didn't hold back at all went right into the "Dump City."
The banter is funny before "Mulche's." The "Welcome" re appeared and then there was paradigm & chicken banter.
Stasik was "Wastic" and started the song. The jam was intense for all intents and purposes.
The encore was "A 5th of Beethoven." Bayliss smoked a square on stage and he made fun of Joel. It was a great way to end the show. The 5th rocked.
And I was thought about where my 5 UM show was going to be.

I cannot rave about this weekend enough! Maybe the best weekend of college I had. Three great shows in three nights. This show was a straight up rocking dance party. I love a good horn section and they brought it this night. Umphreys usually brings the party the when they come to higher ground, but something about this three night set was magically. The crowd was having fun and the band was particularly funny. get all three nights if you can!

What an incredible show this was! To follow up Red Rocks with this night was beyond amazing. It was a life changing show for me. I liked Umphrey's before this show, but now I can't get enough of them. I couldn't stop moving or feeling the music. From Joel's incredibly succinct keyboard work, Brendan's focus and yet relaxed performance, Jake's insane picking, Chris's and Andy's rhythm setting the pace, and Ryan's vibing on the bass --- I was definitely beyond in love, wet, and creamed when I left this show... I got Umph Love!

Last night's show had an incredible amount of energy, twice that of when I last saw them at The Interlochen Center for the Arts. It had a nice heavy metal feel to last night's show which is always awesome. The Booth Love with a little Eminem jam was sweet, but the
"Young Lust" filling in the "Hangover" was an unexpected treat after they already killed "Kashmir" in the first set. It was also a nice time for "White Man's Moccasins", haven't heard that live in a couple of years since the Orbit Room in '09. Also, I love the way they are starting to mess around with "Mantis" a little more this time adding the Rage jam in there. I second that request for a second night next year here in the Zoo and if not that then at least a Grand Rapids show and a K-Zoo show on back to back nights. Umphrey's, WE LOVE YOU!

Perhaps the greatest Umphrey's show I've been to since 2008. SOO much energy, due in part from the band having played Toronto last night and a Kalamazoo crowd that always come out to support the local band.
The light show accompanying Booth Love was the craziest display of lights that I've ever seen, from any band. That wasn't just a concert; it was a full-fledged performance, showmanship, an entire experience.
Thanks for the classics mixed in with a few new songs. WMM and Ringo set the tone in set I, making way for Mullet and Hangover in II. Plus some of the new songs, which have already become staples, like Mantis, Booth Love (not exactly new).
AND THE COVERS. Kashmir, Young Lust, BULLS ON PARADE.
All around, an incredible show. next october give the peoples a few nights in the zoo, we'll come out I can promise you that.

This show holds a special place in my heart as it was the first show I saw as a fan. I had seen the band once before in 2002 but it didn't quite take. Two years later, the same lovely couple (veteran fans) hadn't given up on me and took me to this show… and it clicked. I was already semi-familiar at this point, but seeing them live again felt completely different and ingrained an opinion that this was the best thing happening in live music.
Set I: First set is notable because of all the mood changes. A truly impressive ADD set that touches on nearly every style that Umphrey's plays. I think the set lacks a bit of fluidity in return, but as a fan just learning the scope what these guys could do, it was eye opening. We start off with a nice warm-up intro jam. Bright Lights is standard (new), but an upbeat start. Quick-drop into original OB beginning and things start to heat up. [Side Note: early OB renditions show just how far Bayliss' vocal abilities have come in the last decade] OB ventures into improv for the first time of the night with a funk jam (I Ran teases). Trench Town Rock turns the whole mood upside down… happiness is unavoidable during this song and so was the case on this night. Full stop before N2F spins the mood of the room yet again (I Ran teases). There's a quick drop into Bad Poker and just as rapidly as the song appears, we drop back into a jam that could have easily spawned from the preceding N2F - a jam which knocks that country taste right out your mouth. The dual guitars harmonize triplet riffs while Pony provides a nice theme as foundation. The jam fills out nicely as guitars/keys adapt Pony's idea and then expand on it getting a bit more aggressive with each run through. A small bounce-back develops about halfway through before Joel moves front and center for a C section with a mellow watery effect that winds it down. Next, we get well played but fairly standard run of Wife Soup (small metal jam pulling riffs from Metallica's One), Mail Package and Prowler (more I Ran teases). The later segues into the ending of OB, in which Bayliss stretches his final note to a place I've yet to hear in another version of the song; A truly wonderful end to the set.
Set II: Begins fairly standard, but the final run of songs is crafted incredibly and left me with a very positive impression walking out. Stand-alone versions of Mulches and a new song Nemo start things off. Next up is the quirky multi-sectioned In Violation of Yes featuring Jake on bass and Pony on Rhodes. As a fledgling fan, I was blown away by Jake's ability to pick up another instrument and not only play well, but absolutely destroy it. From here on out the set gains momentum, taking us on a fantastic musical journey through the end of the show. Starting with the powerful Divisions sandwiched around the bands first unleashing of the double time Blue Echo (originally referred to as Techno Echo). The Blue Echo contains a nice little improvisational bit that just sort of floats along eventually leading back to the final portion of Divisions. The most memorable moment for me was All Things Ninja. It was the first time I'd ever heard the song -- 15 minutes of wonderful dark ugliness that had me by the throat for its entirety. A pause for band introductions before launching into the debut cover of Flock of Seagulls' I Ran which we all should have seen coming from the many teases in the first set (I missed them somehow). The cover is performed very well, and segues perfectly into the Fancy Reprise -- yet another wonderful way to end a set. Bridgeless Encore seemed like the bands attempt to wring every last bit of rage out of the crowd. It worked. A great high-energy encore.
I was obviously excited by my new-found incredible band. I can remember the walk out to a friend's house on Orchard like it were yesterday -- and the excited conversation that ensued peppered with many "We told you so's" from the couple who brought me and had championed the band for so long. I joined the Bort the next week and posted about how great this show was... and was immediately smacked down as a newbie over-fluffing a standard show. Re-addressing this show years later, I can see how it lacks the improvisational jaunts that I've grown to love and also require out of any "great" UM show. The obvious highlight being the N2F jam out of Bad Poker. …but then again, for a first show, it was everything I needed to get me started on the obsession. Something the jaded vets of today should keep in mind. The stylistic variety, technical ability and musicianship displayed, and most importantly the capability to take me to the place that the run from Divisions on did… is something that has stuck with me all these years.

My second show and first two-setter is still a favorite of mine. I just dug out the UMlive last week to give it a relisten. First set highlights are the Push the Pig, N2F>Thin Air with Sam Holt and the acoustic ITK.
It's the second set and encore though that put this show in the must hear category. Opening with Jimi, then good ole Ringo set the room on fire. I had one of those It experiences during Words. Tears were spilled and I was left with nothing but love for this band who could craft such a beautiful song. I was pretty much butter by the time they finished the N2F so it didn't really matter what they played thereafter. Encore is really fun. Zappa > Kiss!!! WTF indeed.

After a rather pedestrian set at Koka Booth Amphitheathre opening for STS9 earlier in the day, I kind of expected to get our asses handed to us at the late night Lincoln show. After waiting and waiting and waiting, the show finally began I believe a little after midnight. This set was a complete about face from the daytime set. The band seemed about as amped as I'd ever seen them. Could've been the tiny stage they were playing on or the rowdiness of the crowd, but I don't think I've ever seen them this loose before. Check out the skullfuckery in the first Voices Inside My Head/Snake Juice jam. I also think this is the best encore I've ever seen by any band.
Great night of Umphrey's McGee.

UMbowl 3 may be the greatest umphreys performance to date...its simply amazing how they completely get better and better year after year...I can recall after umbowl 2 thinking you couldnt play a concert that compares with it, but sure enough umbowl 3 crushed it. It was nice to see my people vote in a little GD and we all enjoyed that a ton. Too many high points to recap but set 2 and 4 are statements in how much better this band is than anyone!
Highlights in this night was the 1348 and especially Haji with Allie Kral crushing on fiddle. Also all the choir parts are just amazing with a perfect closer of you cant always get what you want...epic two night stand.
These two Thanksgiving shows will always have a special place in my heart! Epic sets both nights and UM truly was destroying all there jams on these nights. Red tape is unusually "steely dan" jam esque and I really dig where it ends up. Wappy sprayberry is hands down the best version I've ever heard in 45 plus live shows and listening to hundreds...

This show is for improv whores like myself. The 1st set is something else, with only 4 songs! Fantastic jams in every song sans Water, which is THE perfect 'breather' song.
The OB has so many amazing themes and the ->into Syncopated is flawless.
DBK has a beautiful melodic jam that is a go to for me.
2nd set starts off something fierce with a killer N2F (they just don't play it like this anymore) into an improv laden Nemo.
A killer jam in Ringo 2 excellent song selections in WMM and MFF. The segue from MFF->N2F is the bee's knees too.
The now super rare King Crimson cover Red is a nifty finish to this kick ass show.

This is fantastic show that really shows off what Umphrey's is all about. It opens up with a hard hitting The Floor and moves into a nice version of Wappy Sprayberry. My jaw then dropped as I got two of my favorites in a row with Wife Soup and Resolution. At this point I need to take a minute to talk about this version of Resolution. IT IS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME. Period. Possibly one of the best Umphrey's jams I've ever heard. Booth Love is always a dance party and the set ending Hangover is great with the crowd really getting in to the "All Night Long!" section. The second is equally as impressive with a dark version of The Triple Wide and a version of Haji that makes you want to throw your arms around your best friends at the show and sing at the top of your lungs. Hurt Bird Bath is switched up a bit from its normal progression but moves really quickly. The encore was great with the Bulls on Parade jam to end the show with lots of energy

After I heard the news of my then favorite band was going to play one last festival(August 14 & 15 2004) and then break up or go hiatus or whatever disturbing term they wanted to use. I was heart broken. I needed live music therapy.
In July 2004 I was working in retail music store and in the cd reel this band's album 'Round Room.' I am pretty sure the song "Waves" was playing when a cute little blonde girl charged up to the counter and said "who choose to play this..." It was obvious it was me...I was wearing a '99 tour shirt.
I said it was me...and how may I help you. I was direct and charming. She demanded that I was to go to the Odeon that Friday to check out this Midwestern Irish band called Umphreys Mcgee, and that I won't regret it.
As a young knower I had high expectations. I went to the show... and loved it.
My highlights were probably the whole show.
Ocean Billy- Duel face Melting Finger tapping
Tribute- Jaco going nuts the entire time.
Dump City>DBK- I didn't know what going on...and my face was started to melt off in certain areas.
Second set I was even more blown away...though I was pretty clueless.
Plunger- Loved all the different sections.
Triplewide>Mail Package -visions of Zappa were floating in my head.
I remember loving "In the Kitchen," and was confused on "Last Man Swerving" but went along with it and head bobbed throughout the song.
Miss Gradenko- I was fascinated by it.
The Encore: MO>M(O) spoke for itself.
I ended up working the next day ordering The Police's 'Synchronicity.' A few days later I bought the show off disclogic.com,and saw in the paper that they were coming back in November ordered the ticket & Anchor Drops.
The More You Know.

Wow, where do I start with this show? I wasn't actually at this one, but I bought this one a couple of months ago, and I'm here to tell you that this EASILY an all-time top 3 UM show!
The show kicks off with some hip-hop on the PA (I'm not hip to hip-hop so I couldn't even begin to tell what was being played over the PA) that gets warped sounding, almost as if Pink Floyd's Ummagumma got mixed into the PA, and then segues into Eat. The minute or so long intro of Eat segues into a 15 minute Bottom Half and seguing back into Eat. Next comes an excellent version of Example 1. Tribute is hands down the funkiest Tribute I've ever heard, but then again the theme of set 1 is pretty much spaced-out heavy funk. Really tripped out stuff in this first set.
The 2nd set kicks off with a 32 minute Crooked, and holy smokes, is it fantastic! The setlist only notes a Paint It Black tease, which occurs towards the end, but the epic jam in here is pretty much metal. In this jam is War Pigs and riffs that sound like what was the origins of "The Devil's In The Details" from the OHMphrey CD, Posthaste. This is the best Crooked that these ears have heard! Next comes Intentions, which again has a nice long jam to it as well. They close Set 2 with Kitchen and Mullet, which are also outstanding. Plus, it's a 4 song 2nd set, and you can't complain about that.
The encore is nice, too - a Synco sandwich with a Hey 19 filling. Hey 19 is one of my fave covers that UM performs and I love Synco anyways, so the encore was pure WIN.
If you haven't heard this show, then drop what you're doing and get this show ASAP! Trust me, you won't regret it at all. Can't say enough good about this show. Seriously.

I turned 17 on the day of this show and subsequently got a surprise "Happy Birthday" shout out from Brendan at the commencement of the behemoth N2F>divisions>N2F>divisions sandwich. Forever, this will be the moment I remember in terms of magical concert experiences. Thank you Umphrey's from the deepest fathoms of my soul! Sincerely, your life long rawker.

My second show after a huge gap from not going since '06. I got deeper into UM after my friend gave me a huge stash of free '09 UM tracks. I then bought Mantis, I then bought Anchor Drops, I then was hooked for life and went to my second show...THIS show.
The most memorable part of this show involves a story.
Since me and my wife were UM newbs. We didn't understand there was a VIP section. We got to the show early and sat in the balcony. As the rows filled-up, a security person stood in the aisle next to where you come into our row.
The show starts and a waitress comes and asks if we want a drink. I'm thinking, "Wow, this is some service at a concert." We order drinks and get them. Midway through the first set, a guy in a Homer Simpson shirt comes to sit next to us. He asks if he can, and we say yes. He says cool and smokes us up. He then gives me something else...a nugget of something green. I say, "Oh, sorry man. I have anything on me to smoke that with." He says, "No that's for your ride home for letting me sit here." We are stunned and he leaves the seat after the song is over.
At the beginning of set two, someone in front of us gets kicked out. I notice it's because they don't have a ticket or something. I ask the people near us what happened and they say that the people didn't have VIP passes. I turn white and realize that me and my wife ALSO don't have these passes. We did it on accident since we got there before security showed-up. We laid-low for the rest of the show and had a blast. But now it all made sense, the waitress, meeting Joel's parents, people with bottles of champagne, the guy giving us a free nug to just stand there. WE WERE ACCIDENTALLY IN THE VIP SECTION THE WHOLE SHOW!
3.5-4 of five. The opener was great. I love when the opening of a show kills. It really sets-up the show to be a great one throughout. The debut of Deeper -> N2F started that track off in a memorable way. The Bright Lights sax jam was very underrated. The National Anthem debut was out of the park. As well as the James Brown tracks. Nice job, Kris!
The other cover choices really slowed the pace of the show. If you take them away, you're left with a great UM show. Which just shows that sometimes UM doesn't need their covers to make a complete show.

My second favorite show of the year behind 11.5.11. The first set was perfectly executed. The opener into a Jimmy Stewart with Lyrics Intentions Clear was the right way to open a show. It was like a book with an engaging chapter one.
The Haunt and Divisions jams don't get talked-up as much as Intentions Clear (which, by the way, is now the UM tune, Teresa), but they should be lauded as highly. The Haunt peaks well and has a great structure that can be used in a future song. The Divisions is MONSTROUS. Over 24 minutes of epic UM performance.
The DBK was great, but then the set starts to drift a little bit, imo. I'm just not a fan of Mullet, standard Deeper (newer versions have been terrific though), and It's So Easy. It was almost as if Dutchman -> DBK was SOOOOOO rocking that UM lost their mojo right at the end. It's what I feel holds this show back from being in discussion as the best of the year, but it comes ever so close.
Many people said UM was "killing it" in 2011. This show is the finest example of UM's ability to commit musical homicide on our brains and melted faces.
Arguably the best non-festival/special show of 2011, it contains two of the most highly rated jams of the year, The Haunt (OG version) and Ringo (Jimmy Stewart with Lyrics). The peak in that Haunt jam had the entire ballroom going nuts. It was as if we all knew we were witnessing a top-notch jam.
For UM newbies, this is the show for you. It contains a little of everything the band has to offer as far as what modern-UM sounds like. An intro song (best one IMO), several jammed-out versions of songs, a Jimmy Stewart (w/ lyrics...much more rare), a couple covers, and even a mash-up in the encore.
This show is a must own and will stand the test of time.

This show is INCREDIBLE! I met Thor!! Cant go wrong with a 40's Theme, than Miami Virtue got the crowd dancing! Kris tells some silly jokes after Push the Pig in his Pamela Anderson Cooper costume. More energy with Mulches witch goes into an OG Haunt. First mash ,Addicted to Kiss, was hilarious with the dancing women on stage to end the first set! Second set opens with what was Kids at first but than Come as You Are mashes in to get the crowd raging! Mulche's comes back from the first set which made me thrash! One of my favorite All In Time jams, than a Day Nurse to chill the crowd out. Some very classic songs mashed to end the set. The first encore really left me with enough when In the Puppet Kitchen came out, but than an N2F for a second encore is absurd!! This whole concert is absurd!!! Really exemplifies Umph's creativity and characteristics. Nothing better than Umphrey's McGee!!
A silly free show to enlighten the ignorant Knoxvillians of the Umphrey's power!! The people didnt know what hit them when Plunger opened, and Conduit with improv really showed what Umph is about. Im sure Umphrey's thought they were appealing to the South with WWS even making jokes about fried bacon or something like that. The sun went down and Booth Love gave a nice groove accompanied by the lights of Jeff. The encore gave a lot of energy to end the show!
Fantastic show! Going from Words to Got Your Milk set the feel for the concert. The experimental 20 minute Robot World is a highlight which cuts into Uncommon (a personal favorite). Keller Williams gets the crowd groovin with and appearance on Partyin Peeps and 1348 was a perfect end. The second set N2F than Cant You See than Sociable Jimmy was epic!
My first Umph show!! A great mix of songs and lots of energy! The WWS build into All in Time gives me shivers to this day. Jeff Coffin blew my mind, and the Mantis/Haj sandwhich was great! Definitely a solid Umphrey's show!

My first um show and it was certainly memorable. Hot hot improve in SF1, a beatles cover, phils, and hendrix. Set 2 bridgeless and the Zappa encore stand out for me. I partied and talked with Jake in the basement of Peoples "Lumpys" that served as a back stage for the band.It was a fun night and turned me on to Umphreys proper.

at 1 minute into N2F reprise, there is a stairway to heaven tease if you listen close.
This was one of the coolest venues ive been to in a long time. Really interesting setup, and perfect for the umph. Brought 2 UM virgins who werent sure they would like it. 25 seconds into the Rocker part 2 they both looked at me and apologized for everything they previously said. Flawless performance, unbelievable and super interesting jams, and an amazing setlist. They just returned from a short break from playing shows, and it showed. They seemed relaxed, and totally set on destroying everything in their path. The umlive recording is going to be the only thing in my car cd player for weeks.

This was first (and only, so far) UM show. While this isn't the best show of 2012, it is a pretty damned solid show! The show kicks off with Cummins that segues nicely into Crooked (which possesses a nice, but standard jam). Intentions is great and has a great jam (vocals are a bit weak compared to other live versions). Glory is pretty standard. RtB is probably the best live RtB I've heard out of the other live versions I've heard. Deeper sandwiched by Nemo is pretty sweet. Now to the jam of the night - Smell The Mitten! Clocking in at 15 minutes, Mitten has some sweet improv that includes a snippet of Steve Miller Band's "Abracadabra", and the last 5 minutes is just a dance party!
Set 2 kicks off with Tinkles, which was a nice set opener. Virtue is the 2nd best jam of the night with a nice stew thrown in there. Walletsworth is standard, but very good. Let's Dance is quite faithful to the Bowie original. Day Nurse is just a nice dance party, Conduit was OK. The drum duel between Kris and Andy is way cool, haven't seen that on a lot of setlists. 1348 and The Floor end the 2nd set with a strong finish. The Prowler > 1348 encore is OK, but way too short (probably due to the 12:30am curfew UM had to deal with). All in all, pretty solid show. Not 2012's best, but definitely not 2012's worst either. It is better than the 3/23 show in Portland, IMO.

On this, the 12th anniversary of my first show, I thought I'd share what little I remember about it. They had been hyped up to me by a few friends, including one who'd been seeing them at Notre Dame since the start.
they were really talented...I couldn't tell when one song ended and the next one began.
The Hair Band Medley was *AWFUL*. There was some random girl on-stage singing a song or two, and the band clearly regretted that decision.
but really, my strongest memories about this show don't stem from the music, but my impressions of the band and organization, and how seriously they take the music.
leaving the show, I wasn't sure to think. I taped the show (no idea where the tape actually wound up), and when I went to retrieve my deck, KB told me to throw the tape away or tape over it...that the show was terrible. Vince, an acquaintance of my friend who encouraged me to attend the show, also said something similar, he apologized for a poor show. Weird, right? I didn't think it was that bad...I was entertained and impressed enough to give them another shot at some point (and living in Illinois, those were rather frequent)
The following week, I met Brendan at a Disco Biscuits show in Chicago. He was informed that this had been my first show. He profusely apologized, declaring that I shouldn't judge the band based upon that performance, and hoped I would give them another shot.
Fast-forward 3 years later, a show at the Canopy, I bring up how this was my first show to Pony, sure enough, he had a vivid memory of the show was and expressed shock that I ever returned.
12 years later...they're going strong as ever, playing as consistently as they ever have at any point in their career. So glad I was able to overcome a poor first impression of the music (but a great first impression of everyone involved)
strangely, the All Things Ninja from this show made it onto One Fat Sucka.

Mirro's last night of tour brought the goods. I'm not sure if this show is on people's radar but it is straight fire.
My favorite Example One of all time. This has to be one of the best encores of all time in a note perfect Fifth of Beethoven and then Last Call.

This was a very unique show in my opinion. Highlights galore... ITK> tribute to Stone Pony legends Bruce and Joel> ITK, Kula (with Kula tease?), Blue> Keefer> Echo... great night on the boardwalk!
Peaking at The Peak! One more my favorite local venues. It was cool catching Water and LMS. Intentions Clear had a great jam that came outta nowhere.
Great day setter. My brother and I caught Jake and Pony standing next to us grooving to Femi Kuti earlier in the day. I told 'em to "play that funky Booth Lovin'" knowing it was one they had been polishing. The Miles Davis cover took me by surprise, very cool to hear. Divisions> I'm on Fire> Divisions was so nice.
The sweet little old lady mayor of Masontown introduced the band as a light rain broke the Mountaintop heat. I believe she flubbed on the name.
Drove up from WVU on a "school night". I'm glad we did... Show Biz Kids, Andy's Last Beer and Kimble were highlights.
Definitely a Top 5 show in my book. All Gooders were talking about the Shine On You Crazy Diamond for the rest of of fest.
The encore... oh the encore!
This show was so different from the night before. Very uneven. Just as the night before, second set was killer.
*personal note- I had my first legal alcoholic beverage at this show, as my 21st struck at midnight. Birthday show? I like to say so...
This might be a Top 5 show for me. This show brought the Soul!
Dear Lord/Amazing Grace mashup? Tease makes more sense to me, but hey, I'm not the pro here.
Second set did not let up.
Night time is the right time! Farag came around to the front to rap Regulate. Push the Pig with Murphy stick out in my mind. Kabump> Gulf Stream... when will that ever happen again!?
My first UM and tBD (and only) show. Utopian> All in Time hooked me. The Biscuits put up a stronger show as the closer, but UM ultimately won me over.

To say the least THIS SHOW WAS FIRE! This was my first real full 2 set over a year after my first exposure at Warren Haynes Xmas Jam and Ive heard maybe 2 or 3 other 2012 shows so far that can compare. The yams are incredible. The covers are SICK. And the segues are groovy.
This room is awesome by the way. Stasik's grooves could be felt bumping through the floor and walls throughout the venue.
The debut of Gurgle sent the energy through the roof and Reso let it swim around the crowd like phantom ecstacy, melting every face in its path. This Reso jam was on the ballot for Raw Stewage and with good reason. The rest of the 1st set speaks for itself. The seque into WMM was sharp and unexpected, Gradenko was an amazing surprise, the Stew in MV was sweet as can be, and I dont think I've ever heard the Floor played with such emotion as it was that night.
Set 2 didnt disappoint. Tribute>Mulche's was every bit as crazy as it sounds. Prudence was heaven. 3X>1348 featured very energetic jams lead by Stasik. Then the Soul Food Medley> Puppet string put the nails in the coffin. Last but not least, Syncopated>Waiting Room left everyone wanting more. I dont think Ive ever been so dumbfouned by a night of music. Listen to this show!
First off, there is nothing like Warren Haynes' Xmas Jam. I've been the past 3 years and have seen talents from William Bell, Ani Difranco, and Counting Crows to Moe., Umph, and Mule and it never disappoints. GO! SCI is coming this year and tix just went on sell. Now on to the review.
This being my first UM show I had no idea what was going on. It was a venue full of Warren Haynes fans and Spread Heads (me being both) and Umphreys was first up to play. Deh energy was LOW in the room, but the band was definitely excited to melt some new faces. The short set fired up pretty quick with a grooving Conduit, but when John Bell walked out for Aint No Sunshine I knew I was seeing something special. Then Tinkles and All in Time to wrap it up.
Its also worth mentioning that Steve Miller was hanging with Jeff throughout the show and had him light up his performance later that evening.
Looking back it was an okay show in front of an unusual crowd. Short and sweet. Check it out for the John Bell sit-in.

Only UM show ever in Delaware! I would love for them to return; the venue was great and the elderly ushers seemed very confused by UM. This is an underrated show. The jam out of Ocean Billy was pretty unique. It was a 2-part jam that evolved out of what sounded like some prerecorded beats and samples and featured a nice BB riff. Spires included the outro, which was a treat, and Jake slayed the WMM solo per usual. Nice jam in LMS which may have been the best improv of the night. Toto cover and the Crazy Fingers excerpt were much appreciated. PtP also had an interesting jam with some samples of a baby's laugh and Jake mimicking it with some guitaromatopoeia. Bob tease before the encore.
In my opinion, the early show at Festival Pier was the better show in terms of playing, but the energy in the TLA for the latenight was ridiculous. The jam between Snucka parts I and II got the party started. The rap medley following Regulate was also a highlight.

Probably the best UM show I've seen in person, and the closest thing I get to a hometown show taboot. Roulette was extended, with a nice linear jam based on a BB riff. Mulche's had a nice jam as well, including a dub section, and the transition back into N2F before ending the set was very well done. Phil's was easily the jam of the night, but both halves of Ringo had some good jamming, with a Voodoo Child jam in the first section and Slacker and Muscle Shoals Nitty Gritty jams in the second segment. Nice rarities too with Roulette, Uncommon, BtL, 13 Days, and Prophecy Now.

It goes without saying that this show is a must listen - Stanley Jordan cannot be human... just can't be.
I over heard one of the guys from the band say after the show that Stanley chose Liquid himself. They played a great version of the song with a great solo by Stanley then as the song ended UM stepped aside and let Stanley do his thing on his own. It was amazing, to watch the band members look at Stanley the way we look at them, in complete and utter AW... Making Flippy Floppy is epic, the jam is straight fire. I don't know if I've ever seen the guys having that much fun on stage.
Another note on Stanley Jordan - He is the most spiritual musician I've ever had the honor to meet. Most of the people at sUMmer school got to talk to him and all the conversations were truly inspiring. After the show we all broke out into open jams and Stanley showed up and jammed with us for many hours into the night. sUMmer school was by far the most amazing, beneficial, and inspirational musical event I've ever attended.
This may have been "The show" from sUMmer school. Each night was special in its own way, but this show was especially memorable. The Phils Farm and DBK sandwiches were definitely the highlights, but pretty much all the jams were extremely tight and the more elaborate rehearsed parts in songs like Go to Hell and Mantis were played perfectly.
A little background on the debut of Weird Fishes...
At summer school we had the amazing opportunity to have one on one sessions with members of the band. My good friend Kyle Michaud had a lesson with Jake the afternoon of this show. During the session Jake started messing around with some chords and Kyle noticed he was dancing around the chords of Weird Fishes, but was missing a few. Kyle pointed this out, played the song with the missing chords... and that night Jake busted it out during the show. This is a great way to exemplify the amazing experience that was sUMmer school. By the end of the weekend it was hard to look at UM on stage as the epic Godlike musicians that I normally see them as, because we all felt more like a bunch of friends hanging out and appreciating good music.
Also... it was that much more epic when I saw them play weird fishes at red rocks...

Some nights will live forever, the fourth and final night of the run with Joshua Redman will remain with me in perpetuity. Archive.org link. Well worth the effort of converting from FLAC.
First set was fairly standard, a nice subtle Kat's Tune seemed an innocuous intro after a rowdy Saturday night in NYC the night before. A reasonable Much Obliged > Crooked couldn't really prepare for what happened next, though.
FF and the ensuing jam would contain one of those monumental pieces of improv that you chase all over the country for. It started with one of those ascending chord progressions that lends itself to a slow-building crescendo, and that's what the band delivered. A fun little Bayliss pull-off riff sets the melody and off they go. I've listened to this probably over 100 times, and it's really funny to hear that the band doesn't quite know how to play it. Jake is struggling to play the "right" notes, Brendan seems to keep slightly modifying his riff because it doesn't sound "100% right"...but they keep plowing through, and they keep taking it higher and higher. Of course, none of that actually matters. The build itself, basking in the sound, is life-affirming. This would be attempted a couple more times (most notably on 12/3/04), but I contest that none would ever equal this one.
Rest of the set is standard fare. After that FF, everyone was looking at each other..."did you just see that?"...a shared moment that everyone was still buzzing about through setbreak.
This Joshua Redman cat, he's got a future. He had really managed to gel by this fourth night. On this evening, the band had no fear of stretching songs far beyond their boundaries and Redman was gladly along for the ride. It was difficult to contain my giddiness when World's Running Down started...it seemed clear this set was going to be different, they took off as a 7-piece unit with no looking back...then the drop into Blue Echo was unexpected and I knew it would be another opportunity for them to stretch things out...again...they did not disappoint.
All Things Ninja...it's impressive that of the songs in the UM repertoire, UM would choose this as a song option for him to learn, and he would choose to learn it. I suppose it shouldn't have been that much of a surprise after seeing how well they played Der Bluten Kat together...but still...Ninja? Yes, please.
And finally, we come to Wife Soup... This is the ultimate Wife Soup for me, featuring a Redman contribution that become referred to as The Note. If you're not familiar...I implore you to check out this show if only for The Note. Of course, I'd think you'd be ludicrous to not enjoy the rest of it...but this, again, was one of those moments...to be lucky enough to be there...The Note was like a shot of endorphins, adrenaline, dopamine...all of those chemicals your body produces that make you feel good from natural stimuli? This was that stimulus.
Unfortunately, as the second set ran long (due to the lengthy improv), the DBK encore had to be cut, but hey...Waiting Room is always a great encore/set closer.

I was pumped when I saw Umphrey's was playing a free show at the Super Bowl Village. My buddy and I left from Columbus and picked up one more friend in Dayton. When we got near the stadium in Indianapolis, the whole area of wild but somehow we managed to find a miracle open parking spot a block from the action. The village is basically a giant party formed by many independent parties:bars, stages, private tents, etc. I had this fantasy that Umphrey's was going to fall under people's radar at an event like this and I would get up close....I was pleasantly surprised to find a massive crowd backed up the street to see UM. The kids we ended up next to were from Indiana, but they had been in Columbus seeing the Werks at the same new years show as us just a month before.
Kris kicked it off wit the drum into Conduit, and they smoked this one as usual. In the Kitchen went into a great dance groove before giving birth to Glory, truly a glorious choice this night or any night. i remember looking around and seeing peoples faces with a look like "WHAT?! Is it legal to rock this hard?! and in public?" when jake was doing his thing. Out of push the pig also a miss tinkles that reached serious intensity during the peak...Baba O-Riley was well-recieved by the crowd. For one set, Umphrey's still satisfied me until the 17th and surely made a slew of new fans.

All you need to know is that this second set/encore has to be some of the best UM I've ever witnessed! Hammer after hammer was laid until the lights went out and they dropped the sickest Pink Floyd cover! It was played about as well as any band that is not Pink Floyd could ever play it! The sax was also a nice touch. Double encores are always bitchin' as well. This show is easily in my top 3! 5/5

Well....for starters the HBB sandwich in the first set is disgusting and there's umvideo on YouTube to prove it. Got my first Spinal Shaft (4th UM concert at the time) and let me say it's a doozy. The Jimmy Stewart turned into what is known as Red Tape I believe. But it's the Stew out of Groove Holmes that told me this was going to be a good 2 nights in Madison!!! A must hear for any fan! 5/5

Solid show. This was probably the first time I saw UM and left without really feeling the high that they normally give me, but it was not without its moments. The first set started off great with nice jams in Bottom Half and Higgins, but never really picked back up. Always nice to see Uncle Wally pop up, but the In The Kitchen and Push the Pig sit ins were very disappointing and never really took off. The second set was definitely a different story. I love Mantis, so that was a great start and Ocean Billy was strong with a nice -> into 2nd Self. The DBK/Zep segment was great with the exception of a bit of an awkward segue into the cover. The Triple Wide was above average and a nice set ender. The encore was also a bit standard, but a solid way to leave a show. Overall, the show was just a bit lacking. The band never really fully hit their stride I feel, but still a good time.
Can't say enough about how much I love this show. One of my favorite concert going experiences. Higher Ground is such a cool, tiny little venue, and the band was just on fire after two nights of throwing down. There was a loose, party-like atmosphere to the show, but the playing was very precise and focused. Great lyrical stew in Bottom Half, and an awesome Fuzz into N2F reprise were the highlights of Set 1. Where this show really took off for me was with Set 2 though. Cemetery Walk with horns and an ending coda was a revelation. It's still my favorite version. The MJ cover had the place getting down and they even jammed out the theme for a good while after the song proper. A peaking CW2 kept the energy up before a run through the classics Slacker and DBK. Then Baby Honey Sugar Darling just comes out of nowhere! Great bustout! Having the horns out for the last two songs added a lot and kept a great vibe up. Finally, when they began playing Baracuda I couldn't help but wonder how they'd pull off the vocals. Then right as they'd normally kick in, Jen Hartswick just flies out on the stage and belted it out. It was magical. Absolutely top notch show all around.
This was a really great show. Getting to see a full on acoustic show is something that was a big treat for me. As much as the band shreds electrically, I've always been impressed with the beauty and subtlety of their acoustic style. This can be seen here in the great first set run of Water > Sweetness > Fearless. The cover selections were on point; Floyd, Blind Faith, Wings, Seger...can't beat that. Really enjoyed the Nemo jam, hearing a rare Never Cease, an energetic Peeps, and the debut of Ride On Pony. Great vibe and energy from the band (they were especially tipsy for much of the show for Kris' birthday) and excellent playing. A great view of a different side of UM.
This was my first UM show. Looking back it may not have been the best I've seen but I can't help but remember how blown away I was by their playing. A 20+ minute HBB to start off was a great way to break me in. Not a ton of jams in the show, but everything was played very well and the GnR cover was a nice unexpected twist. The encore was certainly "uncommon", but had me leaving with a big smile on my face. Overall, it was a great way to be introduced to this band in the live setting for me.

Another one of those crazy Canopy nights...like the previous December, something must have been in the air and they busted out a unique one this evening.
The show opens with a 14 minute Mulche's, the first time it was ever given the treatment. There's not one but two worthwhile improvisational sections. I still wish that the song's improvisational future would have tailored more to this version.
Fussy > Tomorrow Never Knows is still the best segue in the UM repertoire...when that first crash of TNK hits...straight butter.
Gotta love the XRT Xmas Medley...debuted the night before and played once more this evening. punk jingle bells > country deck the halls > reggae grandma got run over by a reindeer > carol of the bells. another example of the humor, creativity and chops pervasive in UM. some pretty funny 'fuck yeah'-ing at the end, too.
A rather solid version of Water that sees jake and brendan slowly drifting away from the middle section into some great dissonant territory with Kris leading the charge behind them.
Phil's > Glory > Phil's > 14 min stew > middle section of N2F > Phil's...just listen to this one.
The rare Pork Chop Pie, 9 years later, is still a song I request over and over. Such a great carryover from the Ali Baba's Tahini oeuvre.
some silliness with Hysteria > In Violation of Yes.
then the 26 minute Nothing Too Fancy > Ocean Billy > Nothing Too Fancy encore is about as strong a finish as you can get.
Listen to it on the Archive
A Minnesota Vikings bar in Louisville, KY on a Tuesday night. Even back in 2003, one of those instances where you knew the band could kick back and be loose. The opening "DCI jam" (which was meant to poke fun at the DCI instructional videos that involve the musicians soloing in rounds) turned into a 14 minute monster with a glorious peak...yet further proof in the first two weeks of the Myers era that these guys weren't going to be slowing down. The riff that Jake starts 11:08...and then him and bb trade back and forth and build off of for the next 3 minutes is what St. Peter should have playing at the pearly gates...
Soul Food I was playful with a bunch of teases
The last appearance of the Thelonius Monk tune, Well You Needn't is noteworthy...another of those early jazz tunes that slowly faded into oblivion.
The Pure Imagination tease during Padgett's is pretty damn cool, but the Anchor Drops is my highlight of the second set. A lengthy, across the board, multi-sectional stewart that found its way into The Breeders' Cannonball, but then settled into a reggae groove that I still can't get out of my head, commonly referred to as "Ragamuffin." I don't know of any earlier appearances of Ragamuffin, it did pop up again on 4/1/03 (which was included in the Raw Stewage) and 4/22/03, and then again at UMBowl III during the S2 set. If you know of any other version, please let me know!
sometimes you got to be a ragamuffin
and a mine mine mine mine mine
stand tall/firm with two feet on the ground
with two feet on the ground
lord have mercy
Glory > Snucka III encore is classic UMnanigans
other than that, fairly solid playing...but it's the intro jam, Soul Food I and Anchor Drops for which you should check out this show over at Archive.org

First of all, it's wonderful to see the venue listed as Capitol Theatre, Port Chester, NY. The refurbished theater is amazing. Did everybody notice the faces in the wallpaper?
The first set was solid, but not spectacular, although the closing Bright Lights really took off. The second set was intense from start to end. The notes say it was a tease, but Dump City contained a fully-articulated "It's About That Time." The 2x2 jam quickly gave way to Glory, and when it came back around to 2x2 we were treated to a soaring Bayliss solo. The segue from Walrus to N2F was fire, and at that point the light projections on the walls and ceiling took over. Somewhere in there was a second Bayliss solo and the surprise Willie the Pimp. I wasn't sure what to expect for an encore, but Divisions with the sweet Pequod tease fit the bill.
Waful was in his glory with with the house rig and his new MAC Viper instruments. Sunglasses are advised. The only thing that could make this experience better would be if AbovetheDave from PT would write a review.

This show was originally scheduled to be on the Peoria Riverfront but it was super cold all that week so the show was moved indoors. I was a little bummed about the move but was happy about a hometown UM show. The venue at Expo Gardens looked like an old high school gym or cafeteria; the bathrooms like high school locker rooms. The first set was solid but nothing really outstanding. The Fuzz had the slower funky feel and I believe was a nod to the Peoria Police Dept. who lined the walls, Blues Brothers style. The set closed with the short-lived Cold Smoke, which is just Go To Hell with lyrics. I was on a Beatles kick during the time so I Want You was a nice addition.
The second set was a little more interesting. If you have not done so, LISTEN TO THIS MUCH OBLIGED! It may be the best MO of all time. N2F>Bottom Half was pretty good. Red Tape was nothing special, like most Red Tapes during this time. A Rush cover is always ok in my book. Encore was a lot of fun. Who doesn't like Wife Soup? And the transition back into N2F is pretty darn good. Overall it was a pretty solid show but a total shit show when it came to the crowd and venue. I saw girls dropping like flies from being too drunk and the men's bathroom became a swamp of urine and overflowed toilet water. With the cops there, it just made it feel like an old school rock show. Fun times.

This show was short, but very much to the point. Every song featured pretty extensive jams, most of which were pretty spacy and electronic in nature since this event was celebrating Bob Moog.
I WISH There was a recording of the Prison Shank set that took place before Umphrey's played. Prison Shank consisted of, if I get this right, Jake and Stasik on guitar and bass, both Jamie Shieleds (The New Deal) and Aaron Magner (The Disco Biscuits) on keys, and Joe Russo (Furthur, many other projects) on drums.... The set was pretty much all improve and was amazing start to finish.
A historic show for so many reasons. I implore all serious Umphreaks to check this one out over at Archive.org
the show opened with a funny Get in the Van gag...they played the false start of the song...and then walked back off stage.
The 40's Theme with Jamie Janover on toy guitar has to be heard to be believed. It remains one of the most mindblowing "how the hell did they do that so well" moments. They way the band traded licks with the toy guitar is hilarious and musically impressive at the same time. This then turned into the oft repeated Zsa Zsa Gabore jam, and then a fantastic full-fledged stwart after it before returning to 40's.
The Zsa Zsa jam would make it's glorious return on 4/28/12 after many years in hibernation...but the coolest part is that they also brought back the 2nd part of the 40's stew and made it a vocal stewart.
Second set opens with a 24 minute triple wide that features a lot of patient, ambient jamming. a must hear.
The other historic aspect is the stewart out of Mulche's that features the first appearance of instrumental sections from both Ocean Billy and Wife Soup.
Push the Pig with November Rain ending was also hilarious.

My First Umphrey's show. What a special night. The August from this show still gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it.
Unfortunately wasn't at this show, but its still one of my go-to shows. The show is pretty much fire start to finish (which I find is usually the case with Boston shows...).
- Ringo jam (1st part). One of my favorite jams to ever come out of a Ringo.
- Turn & Run
- EPIC All in time jam... the teases are great but the jam itself is so funky and tight!

Show was awesome, best small venue I've ever been to, and the lights were awesome, as always. Staff and security were cool as well. First set highlights were definitely Visions and Bright Lights, two killer versions right here. Second set was awesome the whole way through. I'll definitely be buying the SBD when it's released, this was one of the best shows I've seen all summer. Also, the upstairs seating at the Cap gives you an awesome view with the 360 degree projections that go all around you enhancing Waful's always sick lighting wizardry. Also it was awesome news to hear that UM will be playing the Beacon Theater for the first time in January.

It was a sultry night on the Boston wharf made even more infernal by the UM face meltage beneath the Pavilion lights. Marked the 2nd performance of Crucial Taunt (Wayne's World tribute) and the 5th of Comma Later. My first for both of these tunes made it a memorable night. Unfortunately, it was only a one set performance. Still made for an awesome time. The Resolution > 2x2 was by and far the best part of the show. Check it out.
This for me also marked my deflowering at the hand's of UM.
The Jaws theme was played as the band took the stage and set up. Added an erie effect coupled by Waful's reds on stage. The jump into JaJunk was set up perfectly with this. MO > 1348 was a major highlight for me. The Wife Soup transition back to JaJunk was seamless and definitely deserves some attention. A lot of heavy hitters (Bridgeless, Wappy, Cem2) and the crowd made it a really high octane show. Morning Song was probably the slowest moment of the show and was still masterfully performed.
Little did I know until a handful of shows later and the DVD release, how special of an experience it truly was. Remains one of my favorite shows to date! 9/10
I've been to 45 UM shows, and these three higher ground shows are hands down my favorites, with this night being the highlight. It was Pony's birthday and everyone in the crowd and the band were going ape shit.
-The mulches jam is an epic dance party
-Stasiks's bass line during sociable jimmy jam!
-Mike's Kitchen... one of the best jams I've ever heard. The communication is amazing, and they really take you on a musical adventure with multiple different sections, each segued perfectly.

first time seeing UM!!!.. also first festival! so i had a lot of learning to do in pacing myself. to much to fast and didn't quite get what was going on with the music. I listened to the show later and couldn't believe how amazing it was and that i was there! since then i have figured things out a little more and can balance myself to enjoy the music fully. Fortunately there would be many more shows and festivals in the future to redeem myself. Still an amazing time with my best friends, we all learned together. Love you marvins mtn. top! and Umphreys Mcgee!

Another all time UM show and a Mirro classic. I couldn't make it to this show but I was there the next night and even on tape this performance blew the next night away. Listen to how Mirro takes such an ego-less approach to drumming and just lets Jake and Brendan sit on his beats.
UM and the new deal! amazing.. missed most of the new deal but its just nice seeing they both played together. a rare occasion. well this show was just incredible from start to finish, they played my favorite songs and surprised us with awesome first time mash-ups. we had a crazy trip getting there.. that almost didnt happen a few times but it did and the show changed lives!!!!!! Go umph.. keep it goin fellas!
This was my favorite UM show! danced with my favorite pillar in the E-factory.. never let go. from start to finish brought so much joy! just reading over it brings back those great memories

This show is phenomenal. It's as good as anything they have ever played. There was a special vibe during the Mirro era and I think a lot of people like myself left the VIC that night wondering if we could talk Mirro out of leaving.

i left (essentially) the same review on the bort (and can't be bothered to write a different one). this show was SOLID. first set didn't do anything TOO noteworthy until visions and bright lights...but those were BOTH pretty over the top. this band always impresses me but now having listened to them SOOO much and seen them a good handful of times (i think i'm up around 30 shows...need to get an accurate count) over the past 5 years i don't usually get as floored as i did at the end of this first set. i was pretty speechless. i'm curious to give it a listen again and see if it does the same for me as it did last night or if i wasn't somewhat blurred/biased a little by the "being there" factor. waful was totally on point last night. dear lord he is good at what he does. such a pro. i actually feel the opposite of the reviewer below (although i respect his opinion)...in that i LOVED being totally immersed in the lights. yes...the smoke effects were very dense, obviously so as to enhance the lights and give them more depth and richness, but it definitely didn't impede my vision of the band (then again, i was on the floor, mid-center and wasn't looking through them as much as being in them/under them). sorry your experience wasn't enhanced by the lights. the second set was pretty damn tasty start to finish. mulches, dump, the 2x2/glory sandwich, a well placed (and good choice) walrus cover, a better than average N2F w/willie the pimp and then a divisions enc taboot??...i can not see a DAMN thing to bitch about with ANYTHING in this set. i will let the endorphins diffuse for a few days and then give this a close listen to see if what i'm about to say is actually accurate...but this show (for me) fell into the top 20%, and probably even 10% of all the shows i've seem by them. very impressed...and once again baffled by how this band is not selling out venues like MSG etc. ANYONE who digs TRUE rawk and phenomenal musicianship will go to great lengths to see these guys whenever possible. i haven't seen a thread about this, but can anyone propose even one credible theory as to why these guys are not selling out every fucking show they play and subsequently being FORCED to play larger venues? i don't get it. and lastly may i just add...kris myers is a fucking BEAST. holy christ. total animal. A+ for effort 100% of the time. soo soo soo good.
My First show...... I had seen some Umphrey's tapes on some tape trees and decided to check them out while I was living in St. Louis. Anyone who's been to Cicero's knows how small the venue is, 250 max. There were probably less than 50 people there. I remember seeing the band hanging out among the crowd and hoped they were making ends meet so they could keep playing live because they put on one of the most inspired performances I've ever seen from a band. Looking back, it's a fantasy setlist. If Nachos for Two isn't enough to prove it, how about My favorite Things. Sick show from an unbelievable Oct. 2001 tour.
Great show IMO. I had an absolute blast raging in the balcony. During 1348 I remember a fight breaking out down on the floor. The band kinda mellowed out a bit till security straightened things out then the jammed into Baba O'Riley. "I don't need to fight, to prove I'm right!" It was pretty much slathered in awesome sauce.
There are a lot of highlights in this show, hell the whole thing shouldn't be missed. I thin March '12 may be the best single month of UM ever? Certainly in the running.

Show was great! Loved the setlist and the re-worked theater! Sorry this was your first UM show and you hated the lights, but they are an integral part of the experience dude. Waful is a master behind that board and the lights help feed the energy the band is putting out there! Plus, the new additions to the walls on the sides of the stage were pretty tight as well. They did mention on twitter that the new venue had the biggest light rigging they had ever seen, so that also may have added to the feeling of being overwhelmed. I, for one, loved it!

I can understand how you feel about the intense light show. You need to get yourself a pair of official UM sunnies to protect your eyes from the madness. The lights are very intense and the music is equally intense. The whole UM experience pushes your brain to the limit of what it can handle. I begun describing it as assault music to first timers. I compare it to seeing Ween play live. Ween and Umphrey's play a super hard, &quot;in your face&quot; style of show and it makes SOME people want to leave and never come back. Those who stay are the true fans and will continue to get blasted by some of the best music you'll get a chance to hear. Don't give up on UM after seeing just one show. Every show is different and your experiences will change!
WILLIE THE PIMP! Wish I was able to hear that, one of my favorite Zappa tunes.
P.S I love allthingsumphreys!

This was my first Umphrey's show — and a real sizzler. The boys came on after my first few Pork Slaps at the bar and proceeded to melt face with a tight and intimate club show. World>Nemo>Prolwer is my pick with some great Chinese intervals. Billy Jean is an obvious fit to sandwich with Regulate. Miss Tinkles brought the house down before a rock-solid Floor encore.
Being it was my first show, and having only heard a few Umphrey's songs on Jam On and YouTube, I didn't quite get what was going on in front of me. We picked up the soundboard on the way out and cranked it the whole way home. It was then that “I got it," and I've been a Umphrey's fan ever since.
I’d keep this recording within arms reach.
A special show for me and an awesome venue where I've had some good memories. Too bad Rev Hall stopped hosting shows ...

Great show. Great band. My first UM show. Loved the music and sound. HATED the lighting. I was in the balcony and flat out could not see the band through the intense beams of light focused on the audience that pulsed to the music. I beliive I might have seen the band 10% of the show, only when the light show wasn't going. Moved to the floor and then the light beams were going directly into my eyes. I had to close them or hold my hand across my forehead. I love seeing the band play, but I could not see. If every show is going to be lit that way, it doesn't make sense to see them live. I don't know if this is a new show enhancement or all shows feature the same light show. I truly believe this needs to be re-thought. I understand that artists look to enhance the experience visually. Bands like Rush and Pink Floyd are masters of this. I feel this choice of lighting immensely detracted from the experience. I hope the band loses this light show and tries something else.

Both of these shows were great, but the second set of night 2 was rawking. The newer Miami Virtue into an ever-emotional Glory was a great start, and then it was hammer to the floor right up til the end of the set. Bridgeless is a personal fav and Hollywood Nights was a nice treat that had everyone jumping and singing along. They came out for encore and Jen performed an amazing rendition of At Last. Which was so good, my friend (whom also was at this show)just used this version of the song as his first dance at his wedding. Anyways, I digress... JaJunk, classic Umph's, i need say no more! UM Rawks!! mm/

This was the first of over a hundred shows attended personally, it's easy to say i was sold right away. I can still picture Bayliss in his hoodie and Jake with his stash. Now looking back, i must say it was hearing Divisions and Front Porch in the first set that really must have grabbed me. Their cover of Fool in the Rain was the icing on the cake, especially when it was reprised for the final song.
The Park West was a perfect place to catch these guys for the first time seeing that it still holds a special place in the hearts of the band and the phreaks. I look to this day quite often while listening to Umphrey's for it led me on a journey that eventually took me to Europe, my first cruise and my first show at Red Rocks. Even though Jake was reasonably new as a full time member, you could see the magic on stage. Thanks Fellas!

What really can you say about this show that you can't say about other Halloween MashUp shows?! It was amazing. From the first note of Tango Mike (my favorite band intro) to the last note of the 2ND ENCORE, it was flawless. My ears were left happily ringing that night. I'd say the only downer of the show was when some douche nozzle launched a beer from the audience and it hit Ryan right in the chest. Besides the MashUps, I'd say my faves of the night were Push the Pig, The Haunt & All In Time. Overall though you can't beat this show as evident with all the tracks from it included in the Hall of Fame album from this year.... Awesome awesome awesome. mm/

There was a very relaxed, fluid feel to this show. The band was at the end of tour and happy to have a long summer of fests and shows behind them. It almost seemed like this was the show they were waiting for to leave it all on the table. Conduit>Glory>Conduit was very perfectly inspired and Kimble was a treat. Jake was his usually sassy self in Synco and the jam with Magner was straight fire. Lots of teases throughout mixed with a little ghetts and lil old skewl flavor made for a very encompassing show.

Somebody throws something at Bayliss during Utopian Fir and he stops everything and yells at whoever it was. Once they start up the jam again they start playing with some attitude and it shows. Solid show.

Set One:
Walletsworth is pretty straightforward. Alex's House; song gets a bad rap. This one is really patient at the end, and Joel's spiraling keyboards move seamlessly into Meeting In the Aisle. Simply perfect segue . . . Up next, Wappy Sprayberry. So far, there wasn't much improv. But the last three songs have a really good feel to them. The jam in Wappy starts with this great mix of airiness and funkiness, at the same time. Hard to describe, but it works really well. Great bit of improv before it returns to Wappy around the 14-minute mark; then enters into more improv . . . Really great tone on Jake's guitar here; very Santana-like. Or, on the other hand, Rolling Stones, as he busts into "Can't You Hear Me Knocking." Which is jammed right into Der Bluten Kat.
So, up until this point, the set was around 42 minutes in length -- the DBK is about 25 minutes. The first jam shows some patience, but not too much territory is covered. The second starts off promising with some riffing from Jake. And over a few minutes, it builds into a fast-paced jam. Impressive . . . and back into DBK. And then Kris drum solo, before speeding into the ending of DBK. Nice and driving. Great way to end the set.
Set Two:
Prowler starts things off after some playful rumblings on the Moog. Pretty standard Prowler that segues wonderfully into the end of All In Time, finishing off the version from the other night. It takes on a fun little dub vibe before the "Well endowed" section. Really great build to this reprise -- makes you wonder if it should be separated more often. Lots of energy.
Low rumblings before beginning The Crooked One. The main theme of the song slowly dissipates and leaves just Joel on piano with the guitarists making some noise. You can hear Ryan carrying a bassline. This continues for a bit as they feel each other out. As I have said on a number of occasions in these reviews, lots of patience here. Open and spacey. Kris starts to drumm with more emphasis, and the crowd begins to clap along. Building . . . Joel switches to Rhodes, some Moog, little riffing from Jake. Great to hear each band member playing something different, and how well it works together. And out pops the "Let Me Blow Your Mind" teases.
Great transition into Got Your Milk. And the song is pushed a bit, right after the "Shirt stain" line. Driving, linear, as if the normal riff just wouldn't stop. Then it opens up, as they did all run; piano work from Joel, great little riffs from Jake. Man, this is good. A must hear Got Your Milk, imo. With a perfect segue into Nothing Too Fancy. Such a great section of music right there. (Got Your Milk without the "Atkins!" yell.) Fancy is pretty tame, actually, heading into the I Am the Walrus segue. Coming out of Walrus is much more interesting, with the "Rhiannon" teases and the keyboard work for Joel pre-N2F reprise. They are really drawing this out, with one "Rhiannon" section and then another. About six-and-a-half minutes before the Fancy really starts to appear. Lots of Pony thumping away.
Intentions Clear is a bit of an odd encore choice, actually. Pretty straightforward. Just, well, a good stand alone song. Now, the last song of the run, though, was a treat. Especially with Mr. Al Di Meola in attendance. A Senor Mouse to send people home smile.
Highlights for me are the Alex's > Meeting In the Aisle > Wappy. And the All In Time ending. And most definitely the Got Your Milk jam into N2F.
Gotta love the slinky, slow introduction to All In Time. Bluesy, patient, playful. Great start to the night. Nice rocking jam in the middle of AIT. Lot's of pace, without being too heavy. And then slowly, the jam grows into this soaring jam. Perfectly. Kris driving it, Jake soloing beautifully, Joel laying on the organ . . . Wow. Took me by surprise. And then it drops into a metal-like riff. Covering all sorts of ground in this opening (unfinished) AIT.
Say what you will, but I don't mind Gulf Stream. I do enjoy the melody and Brendan's vocals. This version changes key during the closing jam, it seems, and takes on a different feeling. And then the song dissolves into a Atmosfarag-sounding section with Jake beat boxing in the background. Oh, wait, it is Atmosfarag.
Atmosfarag dissolves out (with a tease of "Love Hurts," maybe, or some other hard rock ballad?) as Andy's Last Beer kicks in. The Andy's is pretty standard and essentially stops before the "Jimmy Stewart" kicks in -- the improv starts with Andy on bongos, alone. Until you slowly start to hear Jake jump in, following the rhythm/meter; then Kris on kick drum; then Ryan, and Brendan. Great way to start the jam -- much like with the rest of the run, everyone is patient. Has a bit of a "Se A Cabo" feel, not only because of the percussion. The jam turns a bit of a corner into something much more dance oriented. (Can't help but bob my head listening back.) The dance vibe continues until it turns into something bluesy, reminiscent of the Rolling Stones in a way -- only Umphrey's . . . Lots of runs by Joel on piano.
The "Stewart" fades away for the opening notes of Hajimemashite. The beauty of Haji is quickly disrupted by the appearance of the "Zsa Zsa Gabor" riff. And that ends the set . . .
The Triple Wide gets the set on the road . . . Since the run started off with a Moog Fest, one shouldn't be surprised with how many times Joel went to the Moog this run in the middle of jams. Some great spiraling guitar from Jake to match Joel's keys work. Nice example of a Triple Wide that doesn't rely on being overly dancey. Really smooth transition into "(Don't Fear) The Reaper," as they go back and forth between the song and Triple Wide. Again, patience. This happens a few times before they start singing. Then seamlessly back into The Triple Wide, with another "Reaper" tease for good measure. Before moving to The Floor -- just a perfect choice of song. It seems like so many fans talk about "flow" these days, and most of it I don't get to be honest. But to my ears, the beginning of this set has great "flow."
Pause. Breather. Jake handles some introductions as they kick into Miss Tinkle's Overture. As with a number of other songs from this run, the middle section opens up a bit. Joel on organ, and the guitarists playing off of each other. Really enjoyable, and not as heavy or standard as other Tinkle's you might hear.
Let me just say that Kula does not get played enough. Such a great drive to this song from every band member. Needs to pop up in setlists more often than it does now, that's for sure. This one slows down, to a little bit of drums, into something with a Push the Pig sort of vibe. Which actually becomes Waist Down -- interesting pairing. I haven't listened to this in some time; I kind of like the soaring nature of the chorus.
Waist Down ends with Kris f'n around with some e-drums. Until they successfully start The Fuzz. Gets a little funky. And then fades out . . . into Black Sabbath > War Pigs. Rock. (Voice crack, BB.) Bit of an anticlimactic way to send the set.
I have always been a sucker for The Fussy Dutchman. (I miss the days when it would segue into Tomorrow Never Knows, though.) Ryan is really clear on the recording. Not really a segue, Dutchman ends and Peeps begins. With "Reaper" teases in the intro.
Unique show. The Triple Reaper is worth listening to, and the Andy's "Stewart."
Starts off with White Man's Moccasins -- a bit unique on its own -- but then stops on a dime for the beautiful The Pequod -- only to go back into Moccasins. At the end of Moccasins, rather than pausing, Joel held a chord for a minute while the rest of the band noodled around him . . . before dropping into Plunger. The Plunger featured a "Jimmy Stewart" and was over fifteen minutes in length; the jam begins starting out with Jake playing a riff similar to Billy Squier's "Everybody Wants You" before building into a full-band improv with Joel all over piano. As the jam peters out, Jake starts to tease Yes's "Roundabout."
And how better to follow up a 15-minute Plunger than with a 28-minute Utopian Fir. The first jam in Fir starts with Pony repeating this riff, with Brendan soloing over top with a really compressed tone (right?). Then it grows to this great build over the course of four or so minutes, adding some organ to the mix, back to Brendan on that same solo. The music slows down after about seven minutes of the jam . . . and a drum solo appears. It is as short one what quickly evolves into some bleeps and a bit of chaos before Utopian Fir appears around 13 minutes after the start of the song. The "reggae portion" is drawn out patiently . . . until it starts to morph and stetch. The "Fir Reunion" section picks up, becomes more dubby, shifts keys and time signatures. Really great stuff, almost sounding like another song . . . until losing all resemblance of the standard reggae ending . . . then dropping back into the "re-worked" Reunion section. Only to reemerge as the standard Utopian Fir with lyrics to end the song.
The opening notes of In the Kitchen started almost immediately as Utopian ended, with a patient little intro. Kitchen quickly finds itself in this funky jam. Pony's bassline sounds like it could have been taken from Michael Jackson's "Thriller" (confirmation?).
Keeping with the rare openers, Padgett's Profile kicks off the second set in a dark and dirty fashion. Veers only slightly off course. The Bridgeless is pretty standard as well until it just slows down after about six minutes. Becoming quite airy, with Jake adding some playful riffs here and there, mixed with these little hints of metal songs . . . like "Masters of Puppets" and "One." And then Jake just starts playing Glory -- well, the intro, dropping out to silence, and then the whole band kicks in. Nice transition. And just as Bridgeless faded into Glory, the reverse was true as Glory slowly returns to Bridegeless. Neat little ending to Bridgeless, during that build -- Joel is really laying on the Moog as the guitarists trade licks back and forth.
After a breather, a "breather" of a song is started. I have always enjoyed the laid back, slinky start to Anchor Drops. A rather standard version is made humorous with the Matt Sorum (Guns N' Roses) Drum Fill to end. I am not sure if the GNR reference led them into Snake Juice, to be honest, but it worked -- I need to go back and look, but this might be the first appearance of Snake Juice as a stand-alone song. It flows into a nice breezy section with lots of Joel on piano with a slight Anchor Drops vibe in the background. A "Ring around the rosy" piece dissolves, still Joel on piano, but with the addition of e-drums. And then it fades into Rocker Part 2. Good little jam in the middle.
I so love Supertramp and Bloody Well Right. Joel nails the keys, imo, in that identifiable intro. His vocals? Not necessarily nailed, but close enough. The set-closing 40's Theme gets drawn out a bit when Rob Marscher joins Joel on keys -- as with a lot of the improv in this show, it is patient and breezy. Perfect, for me . . . Especially as Joel and Rob begin to play off each other (even Kris's e-drums here don't take away from the vibe). Although, I love Brendan's solo in 40's and this is often skipped when guests are brought out. Oh, well.
The Slacker encore works. More Moog from Joel during the slower middle section.
First set is worth a listen, for sure. And might as well skim through the second, with maybe some focus on Snake Juice.

Great show. There are lots of high points, notably the 25 or 6 to 4 cover.
This JaJunk has an incredible Stewart. Let's hope we revisit it at UMBowl 4!

Google updates the guidelines for assessors third time this year
It's third time this year that Google has updated the guidelines for assessors (experts assessing the quality of search results and the pages displayed in it). This time, the changes are even smaller than in the previous version of the document, which was published in May 2017.
The latest innovations will mainly be interested to SEO specialists who work with non-English pages.
For instance, the pseudoscientific and fake content details have been clarified, comments displaying pornographic ads on websites that do not contain adult content have been removed, new examples of pages with the lowest quality have been introduced, as well as a completely new section on the display of results in English for non-English-speaking locales.
There are changes that are purely of a natural style: for example, the selection of some words in italics has been removed. The section on using the Foreign Language label for pages in a foreign language like Ukrainian and Russian is replaced with an example of Catalan and Spanish.
A complete guide for assessors Google is a 160 pages book.
It should be recalled that the Google assessors guide has already been updated in March and May this year. The main changes aimed at combating dubious content in search results took place this March. The largest May updates affected the assessment of the quality of news websites, in particular the use of the "Upsetting-Offensive" label that was introduced in March.
How Google processes pages with the Canonical and noindex attributes
During the last video conference with webmasters, John Mueller answered the interesting question: how does the search engine process pages that both contain the Canonical and Noindex attribute?
The question to Mueller was:
"I once was at a seminar where I was told that if you use rel = canonical and Noindex on a page, then Canonical will transmit the Noindex canonicalized page. Is that true?".
"Hmm. I don’t know. We discussed this issue for a long time, at least inside the team. In particular, what should we do in this case.
Using Canonical, you are telling that two pages should be processes identically. Noindex reports that the page that contains it must be removed from the search. Therefore theoretically our algorithms can get confused and decide that you need to delete both pages. Correct? Or they can process them in different ways, taking into account Noindex attribute.
As a matter of actual practice, it is most likely that algorithms will decide that the rel = canonical attribute was added by mistake."
Cyber Monday exhibited a similar trend, though less pronounced – with email marketing driving 22.1% of orders, free search 20.7%, and paid search 16.6%. (Source: Custora)

Lung cancer annually causes more than 1 million deaths worldwide. Despite efforts aimed at improving survival, delayed diagnosis and high relapse result in dismal prognosis. Overall lung cancer 5-year survival rates have only marginally changed over the past few decades; the current 5-year survival rate is about 15% in the United States and lower in developing countries. Many of the genetic and epigenetic anomalies found in lung cancer are also present in normal and preneoplastic tissue, suggesting a multistep process of epithelial carcinogenesis contemporary to tobacco smoking. Good examples of the translation of pulmonary molecular events to the clinic include of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). The growing field of stem cell research is becoming relevant in the understanding of lung carcinogenesis and to the development of novel targeted therapies. Identifying indi-viduals at high risk of lung cancer is crucial, and various biomarkers such as hypermethylation of certain lung cancer genes are being tested clinically.
The Clinical Relevance of the Growth Factor Receptor Tyrosine Kinase
The tyrosine kinase activity of the EGFR was characterized more than two decades ago. The EGFR (HER1) is part of a bigger family of transmembrane receptors, including HER2, HER3, and HER4. They activate the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and the phos-phatidylinositol 3, 4, 5 kinase (PI3k)/protein kinase B (PKB) signaling pathways, among others; a disruption of these results in abnormal epithelial development, angiogenesis, and malignancy in most organs.Moreover, high EGFR protein levels have been demonstrated in human lung, ovarian, and upper and lower gastrointestinal cancers. HER1 and HER2 are overexpressed in about 70% and 30% of non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs), respectively. Tobacco-related dysplastic lung tissue has increased EGFR expression compared to hyperplastic and metaplastic lesions, suggesting a stage-dependent involvement in lung cancer. Gefitinib and erlotinib are adenosine triphosphate (ATP) competitive inhibitors of the EGFR tyrosine kinase domain. Phase I trials of gefitinib demonstrated benefits in NSCLC. Two large phase II trials, Iressa Dose Evaluation in Advanced Lung Cancers (IDEALs) 1 and 2 in patients previously treated with conventional chemotherapy showed response rates in the range of 9%–19%, compared to only 7% for docetaxel. The efficacy of erlotinib in NSCLC was illustrated in the Br.21 trial by a higher median survival compared to placebo (6.7 months vs. 4.7 months) as well as a higher 1-year survival (31.2% vs. 21.5%). Interestingly, two large randomized trials, The Iressa NSCLC Trial Assessing Combination Treatment (INTACT) 1 and 2, showed that when gefitinib was used together with a first-line platinum-based agent, no survival advantage over chemotherapy alone was shown.This may be explained by the antagonism between the cytotoxic effect of chemotherapy and the cytostatic (causing G1 arrest) effects of the EGFR-TKI. The results of trials of sequential chemotherapy and EGFR-TKI will help clarify this. Combining erlotinib with conventional cytotoxic drugs, as in the case of gefitinib, did not prove to be useful. However, when erlotinib was combined with traditional chemotherapy in nonsmokers, a survival benefit was observed. Mutations in the intracellular EGFR (tyrosine kinase) (EGFRTK) domain are common in never-a-smoker females of East Asian origin responding well to gefitinib.The frequency of EGFR mutations is thought to be 39% and 48% among Japanese and Taiwanese patients, respectively, and around 3% to 9% in non-Asian U.S. patients. A new TK domain mutation (substitution of methionine for threonine at position 790 [T790M]) was found in four out of the seven patients studied. It is interesting that the T790M mutation is analogous to a secondary mutation in bcr-abl causing resistance to imatinib in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients.These examples demonstrate that TKIs play a beneficial role in certain NSCLC patient subgroups. However, they prompt more genetic and clinical studies to understand and exploit the heterogeneity of EGFRTK domain mutations to eventually design more-efficient therapeutic TKIs.
Monoclonal antibodies against EGFR tyrosine kinase
Cetuximab has been shown to confer clinical benefits through disease control in 24.13% of the EGFR-expressing NSCLC patients treated. Data from phase I and II trials indicate that cetuximab combined with a first-line platinum-based agent is well tolerated, with rash being the only side effect. The Lung Cancer Cetuximab Study (LUCAS) trial suggests that in first-line treatment of advanced NSCLC, the combination of cetuximab with cisplatin/vinorelbine shows beneficial clinical response with reasonable safety profiles compared to chemotherapy alone.Such results led in 2004 to a large phase III multicenter trial, the First-Line ErbituX in lung cancer (FLEX) study, evaluating the efficacy of cetuximab in combination with cisplatin/vinorelbine vs. cisplatin/ vinorelbine alone in patients with advanced untreated NSCLC. Accrual with 1,124 patients was completed in July 2007, and the specific clinical outcomes are being awaited.
Angiogenesis in lung cancer
Folkman et al. observed that tumors cannot grow beyond 2 mm without supporting vascularization.Endothelial cells produce vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF), a mitogenic factor with a myriad of physiological functions, both during lung development in early life and during homeostasis in adulthood. Not surprisingly, abnormalities in the VEGF pathway can result in acute and chronic lung disease. Various VEGF families have been characterized: VEGF-A, VEGF-B, VEGF-C, VEGF-D, VEGF-E, and placental factor. VEGF ligands upon binding activate three structurally similar type III receptor tyrosine kinases: VEGF-receptor (VEGFR)-1, VEGFR-2, and VEGFR-3. Alternative gene splicing leads to several isoforms; these in turn may combine with the various receptors in a biologically heterogeneous manner. This is being exploited to develop targeted antiangiogenic therapies with minimal side effects.
Monoclonal antibody against angiogenesis
VEGF is overexpressed in many cancers, including lung cancer. Its expression in macrophages in the lung cancer microenvironment correlates to poor prognosis. Thus modulating angiogenesis in cancer is indeed an attractive therapeutic strategy. Bevacizumab, a recombi-nant humanized monoclonal VEGF antibody, has shown a synergistic survival advantage in colorectal cancer.A lung cancer phase II trial studying the synergy of bevaci-zumab and paclitaxel/carboplatin showed a significant improvement in treatment response: an overall response rate (ORR) of 31.5% vs. 18.8% in the bevacizumab arm compared to chemotherapy alone. Furthermore, a longer disease-free interval (7.4 months vs. 4.2) and overall survival time (17.7 months vs. 14.9) was seen in the bevacizumab group. The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) phase III trial of paclitaxel/carboplatin with or without bevacizumab in untreated stage IIIB or metastatic NSCLC showed a 27% vs. 10% response rate for the bevacizumab/chemotherapy group. Progression-free survival for the former group was 6.4 vs. 4.5 months, and the median survival was 12.5 vs. 10.2 months for the chemotherapy-alone arm. This is ECOG’s gold standard treatment for advanced NSCLC. Other studies are under way to assess the role of bevacizumab combined with EGFR TKIs.
Miscellaneous antiangiogenesis agents
The number of molecules under current clinical investigation include the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), the platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor (PD-ECGF), various integrins, angiopoietins, and fibroblast growth factors (FGF)-1 and FGF-2. Below is a brief description of the ones most relevant to lung cancer.
VEGF-Trap (aflibercept)
Aflibercept is a soluble antiangiogenic decoy receptor composed of segments of extracellular domains VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2, and placental growth factor (PLGF) fused to the constant region (Fc) of human immunoglobulin (Ig) G1. Regeneron and Sanofi-Aventis have commenced an oncology development program to evaluate afliber-cept with chemotherapy. Efficacy analysis showed evidence of tumor reduction and prolonged stable disease after aflibercept treatment as a single agent. Under way is a phase III study of aflibercept with second-line docetaxel for metastatic NSCLC (Sanofi-Aventis: NCT00532155).
SU11248 (sunitinib)
FDA-approved sunitinib targets various TK domains, including those of VEFGR, PDGF receptor (PDGFR), and c-Kit. SU11248 in NSCLC is being assessed.
This is a low molecular weight inhibitor of the TK domain of EGFR and VEGFR-2. Its benefit in lung cancer was shown in a phase I and phase II study in metastatic tumors when used in conjunction with docetaxel. Further trials will elucidate the role of ZD6474 either as a single agent or in combination with other chemotherapeutic agents.
BAY 43-9006 (sorafenib)
This agent is a potent TKI of VEGFR-2, VEGFR-3, B-Raf, and PDGFR-β. Several phase III clinical studies are assessing this agent in NSCLC; under way is a phase III randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study sponsored by Bayer (NCT00449033) estimated to be concluded in 2010. It aims to evaluate the efficacy of cis-platin, gemcitabine, and sorafenib to cisplatin, gemcitabine, cisplatin, and placebo as first-line therapy for advanced NSCLC (specifically stage IIIb with pleural effusion and stage IV disease).
AG-013736
AG-013736 is an oral agent against a variety of TKs, such as VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2, VEGFR-3, c-Kit, and PDGFR-β. A phase I trial in metastatic NSCLC showed benefits in disease stabilization, and phase II trials are under way.
The Therapeutic Potential of Exploiting Epigenetic Changes in Lung Cancer
About 80 genes are hypermethylated, often simultaneously within an individual lung tumor. These epigenetic changes can be translated into practical tools for early diagnosis. For example, the detection of hypermethylated DNA of the p16INK4a gene in the sputum of patients with higher risks of developing lung cancer is useful. Approaches include identifying hypermethylated genes in lung tumors using a genome-wide strategy to create novel diagnostic and therapeutic tools.60)

The Therapeutic Potential of Exploiting Immunomodulation in Lung Cancer
Two current immunotherapy strategies focus on active vaccination and adoptive T cell transfer. A recent phase I and phase II multicenter clinical trial using granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factors in advanced NSCLC demonstrated promising results that provide not only proof of principle, but also the basis for further studies. Adoptive T cell transfer plays a role in the treatment of malignant melanoma; it is a process that entails the isolation and subsequent in vitro expansion of tumor infiltrating T cells followed by their reinfusion into the patient. The challenge relies on the difficulty of isolating enough tumor-reactive T cells from lung cancer patients. A summary of clinical trials evaluating the role of immunotherapy in lung cancer is shown in Table 1.
The Therapeutic Potential of Targeting Wnt in Lung Cancer
Wnt signaling (Fig. 1) is crucial during the development and homeostasis of the pulmonary tree. Wnt exer ts a regulatory function in the stem cell compartment of many organs. The clonogenic nature of human lung cancer was described almost 30 years ago. Clinical lung adenocarcinomas and small cell lung cancers (SCLC) were found to have a rare cellular population (< 1.5%) with the capacity to form agar colonies. When intracranially inoculated into athymic mice, they grew into originating malignant lesions. There is a link between the high expression of ABC transporters and drug resistance. Side population (SP) cells isolated by the efflux of Hoechst 33342 by ABC transporters with stem-cell characteristics have been demonstrated in both lung cell lines and clinical NSCLC. These data together with the heterogeneity and regionality of lung cancer demonstrated in murine models suggest the involvement of stem cells in the human lung (Fig. 2). The dissection of the precise molecular mechanisms by which Wnt regulates the initiation, malignant transformation, and metastatic spread of lung progenitor, or stem-cell like cells becomes mandatory because of its enormous therapeutic potential.
Fig. 1. The canonical Wnt transduction pathway.
Proteosomal degradation of β-catenin via its phosphorylation occurs in the absence of Wnt ligands. Downstream, Wnt target genes are maintained repressed (‘OFF’). Degradation of active β-catenin is reduced upon the binding of Wnt’s. Accumulation and translocation of β-catenin into the nucleus lead to binding to T cell factors and activation of target genes (‘ON’). APC, adenomatous polyposis coli; Dvl, disheveled; GSK, glycogen synthase kinase; TCF, T cell factor.

A: Quiescent stem cell (SC) with inactive Wnt.
B: Upon tissue trauma, Wnt transduction leads to activation of homeostatic SCs.
C: These cells produce more pluripotent SCs as well as progenitor cells with limited proliferative power.
D, A: That produces specialized differentiated cells (shown in orange, purple, and blue) to regenerate the tissue. Upon repair, SCs cycle into a quiescent state.

As the Office of Records Management, the City Clerk’s Office is involved with many aspects of city government including the City Council, our legislative body, and The Board of Estimate and Contract, which approves city expenditures. The City Clerk’s Office is also known as the Licensing Bureasociau. Over 91 different types of City and New York State licenses and permits are issued to individuals and businesses. In addition, Primary and General Elections for the City of Mount Vernon are coordinated by the City Clerk’s Office. The City Clerk, as Registrar, is responsible for maintaining Mount Vernon’s Birth and Death Records.

City Council Meeting Agendas
The City Clerk must attend all formal meetings of The City Council and Board of Estimate and Contract, and be responsible for journalizing interdepartmental referrals and all general correspondence relating to such meetings. As the main “Information Center” of city government, the staff of the City Clerk Office handles thousands of inquiries from the public, both in person and over the telephone. The Deputy City Clerk, Legislative Aide and Secretary to the City Clerk are Commissioners of Deeds. The City Clerk is a notary public. Thousands of documents are notarized free of charge for the public each year. The City Clerk is also the Records Management Officer for the City of Mount Vernon and is responsible for the disposition and retention of all records.
The Office of the Registrar is responsible for maintaining vital records pertaining to births and deaths occurring in the City of Mount Vernon. Birth records are maintained from 1886 to the present and death records are maintained from 1885 to the present. Individuals needing certified copies of these records for such diverse purposes as passports, school entrance, proof of citizenship for job applications, license applications, organized sports, insurance or governmental benefits, can obtain certificates. Requests can be made in person or by mail. All requests must be accompanied with proper identification and applicable fees. Generally, the records are available only to the individual or a member of his or her immediate family (for example, a birth certificate is available to both the individual and to a child’s parents, and a death certificate is available to the surviving spouse, parent or child of a deceased person). New York State Public Health Law (Article 41) generally governs the release of these records in New York State outside of New York City. Parents wishing to change the names of their children can obtain documents required for filing with the New York State Department of Health in the local office.

Cadence13 Launches Exclusive New “Crimetown Presents”
Cadence13 Launches Exclusive New “Crimetown Presents” True Crime Series From Renowned Podcast Creators and Award-Winning Filmmakers Marc Smerling and Zac Stuart-Pontier
“Crimetown Presents: The Ballad of Billy Balls” explores the life and mysterious death of East Village punk rocker Billy Bills, killed thirty-seven years ago under suspicious circumstances and buried in an anonymous grave
Activist and writer iO Tillett Wright sets out to uncover the truth in weekly investigative series about love, loss, murder, and mystery in the raw, gritty New York City of the 1970s and 80s
New York, NY (March 28, 2019)– Cadence13, a leading premium podcast company, today announced the second season of the critically acclaimed Crimetown Presents series, Crimetown Presents: The Ballad of Billy Balls. Edited and produced by Marc Smerling and Zac Stuart-Pontier—the Emmy and Peabody award-winning co-creators of Crimetown Presents: The RFK Tapes, The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst and Crimetown—Crimetown Presents: The Ballad of Billy Balls will be hosted by activist and writer iO Tillett Wright. ADT will be the presenting sponsor of the entire season.
Downtown New York, early summer, 1982. A man bursts into an East Village storefront apartment and shoots musician Billy Balls. The motive? Unknown. Billy’s body? It just disappears. Rebecca, Billy’s girlfriend, doesn’t know what to do and has no way to say goodbye.
Now, thirty-seven years later, iO Tillett Wright helps give Rebecca the opportunity to let go.
In Crimetown Presents: The Ballad of Billy Balls, Wright goes searching for answers and unravels a mystery of love and loss, the tender binds of family, and the stories we learn to tell ourselves just to survive.
Crimetown Presents: The Ballad of Billy Balls launches on March 28, 2019 with Episodes One and Two on Apple Podcasts and wherever podcasts are available. Listen to the trailer, first two episodes, and subscribe to the series here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-ballad-of-billy-balls/id1391405921?mt=2.
In the late 1970s, Rebecca Wright was an actress pounding the streets of New York. In 1977, she met a musician named Billy Balls, and they fell deeply in love. For seven years, the two of them made love, music and art together in the East Village, until one day in the summer of 1982, Rebecca came home to find her windows blown out and Billy gone. Shot seven times without explanation, his body sat for ten days in Cabrini Hospital and then was mysteriously taken to an anonymous burial ground that she cannot find to this day. For thirty-four years, Rebecca has lived as a widow and to this day, has never said goodbye. Why was Billy disappeared? Was this a cover up? Who killed Billy Balls, and why?
“I would call it an experiment. To try to listen to a time and place many have never experienced,” said Marc Smerling. “We combined unique voices, music, and sound effects to bring the listener to a very emotional place. We want our audience to feel it.”
"It's a crime story, but it's more about love, loss, and the deep binds of family,” said Zac Stuart-Pontier. “‘The Ballad of Billy Balls’ may have the most heart of any podcast we’ve ever done.”
“This show is everything I’ve dreamed of,” said iO Tillett Wright. “True crime, no-bullshit storytelling, and a movie for your ears.”
“Marc Smerling and Zac Stuart-Pontier have raised the bar for investigative storytelling and continue to redefine the true crime genre in podcasting,” said Chris Corcoran, Chief Content Officer, Cadence13. “We are thrilled to continue our partnership with them for this intense, riveting story.”
iO Tillett Wright is an activist and writer and the author of the memoir Darling Days.
Growing up in New York City, Wright had an unorthodox upbringing where individuality and being different was actually the norm. Wright uses these experiences to inspire his photography, which centers on the differences and similarities between straight, gay and lesbian people. He explores the confusion of gender and defies the natural human tendency to categorize people into groups, even when they exist somewhere between. Wright's photography is regularly featured in the New York Times. He has published three limited edition books of photographs: Lose My Number, KISSER, and Look Ma', No Hands.

How to Be a Geek: Essays on the Culture of Software
by Matthew Fuller
to be a geek
To be a geek is, in one way or another, to be over-enthused, over-informed, over-excited, over-detailed. There is an awkwardness born out of a superfluity of an extraneous kind of desire that becomes a febrile quiver in the face of an interesting problem. To be geeky is to have too much interest in something to the detriment of comportment, code spilling over into a gabble, a liveliness found in something that a more reserved protocol would keep under wraps or avoid. To be a geek is to be a bit too public with your enthusiasms, to be slightly unaware in turn that these thrills may, to others, rightly be dull as dust dehydrated with a special process of your own invention. Its mixture of juiciness and dryness, being able to get juiced on dryness, perhaps gets to the core of the problem. Frankly, it's a ludicrous position to be in — it is after all a bit bewildering to find this stuff so fascinating — but it is one whose perversity puts it in a strange relation of proximity to fundamental dynamics in contemporary life.
Such a condition leads many geeks into precariously powerful positions. Companies founded and staffed by geeks rule the world in any ways. They fill institutions and create commercial entities. One can be both ludicrous and lucrative, a maniac for certain details that remake the cosmos by their syntax, or that found a new grammar of relation between things. Geeks created the internet and fight over its meaning. They govern and subvert governance, or keep it ticking over with regular incremental upgrades. Geeks produce extravagant contraptions that cement their positions in the most comedically venal ways, but they also make machines with panache that auto-destruct in deserts and car parks and servers; sometimes intentionally. They make games that provide the grounds of individualism for millions, and then find the wealth it occasionally brings depressing pointless but irresistible.
—p.2 Introduction (1) by Matthew Fuller 1 year, 2 months ago
the geek tragedy
[...] the figure of the geek, as something both powerful and flawed. The geek tragedy improves on the traditional mixture of these two qualities by adding the figure of technology. This variant of the tragedy is there since that of Icarus, who flew too close to the sun and melted his wings. If the traditional reading of Icarus is a warning about the hubris of knowledge in relation to nature and the inviolable space of the gods, technology folds in both violation and knowledge as constitutional factors. Any attempt to 'White Box' technology as a simple Good that needs no examination misses this fundamental transformative characteristic. [...]
need to unpack this more (esp the last bit)
the sociotechnical arrangements of programming languages
Languages for programming computers [...] designed, in a specific context, as a focused part of a particular set of sociotechnical arrangements, a constellation of forces - machines, techniques, institutional and economic arrangements and so on. A programming language is a carefully and precisely constructed set of protocols established in view of historically, technically, organizationally etc. specific problems. [...]
not entirely sure why i wanted to save this. kind of a novel way to frame it i guess
—p.17 The Obscure Objects of Object Orientation (15) by Matthew Fuller 1 year, 2 months ago
an asymmetric relation between human and computer
[...] computational objects do not simply or straightforwardly tap into pre-formed capacities or abilities, but instead generate new kinds of agency, which may be similar to what went before but which are nevertheless different; secondly, that the agency that is created is so as part of an asymmetric relation between human and computer, a kind of cultivation or inculcation of a machinic habitus, a set of dispositions that is inseparable from the technologies that codify it and give it expression. [...]
the chunking of work that encapsulation facilitates
[...] the deeply sedimented habit of using class libraries is clearly something that has resulted from the technical affordances of encapsulation. A far more finely grained division of the work of software development is made possible when the system or application to be built can be divided into discrete 'chunks'. Each class or class library (from which objects are derived) may be produced by a different programmer or group of programmers, with the details of the operations of the classes safely ignored by other teams working on the project. The contemporary trend towards the globalization of software development, with its delocalizing metrics for productivity, would not have acquired its present levels of intensity without the chunking of work that encapsulation facilitates.
cool way to link in larger economic trends
elective solipsism of disciplines
[...] a scan of the literature shows that it is entirely possible to have a social or literary theorist discourse on 'algorithms' without any references other than to others of their ilk. This kind of elective solipsism of disciplines is familiar to those navigating interdisciplinary terrains, and is also articulated through the kinds of citation politics that other fields, such as feminist research, have become all too familiar with. We are in the amusing position where the emphasis on materiality in recent theory results in what is technical and important sounding being elevated to the same kind of generalizations that, say, the more banal pronouncements of postmodernity suffered from in their heyday. Social theory too often beings along its upstairs/downstairs split between high theory and empiricism.
—p.56 Software Studies Methods (55) by Matthew Fuller 1 year, 2 months ago
the condition of media
[...] Friedrich Kittler neatly boiled down the condition of media as being those mechanisms to do with the production, storage and dissemination of information. The systems in the last paragraph added analysis to this triad. Analysis here is the breaking down of complex entities into what, at a certain scale, can be read as nominally fundamental units, and working out their immanent, potential or emergent relationships. [...]
possibly a useful definition to know. (the systems in the last paragraph being PageRank of OpenGraph etc)
a perfect information machine
Amongst others, Philip Mirowski interprets neoliberal economics, particularly in the work of Friedrich Hayek, as the dream or ruse of a perfect information machine. There are certainly accounts of distributed version control systems that have such an inflection, or make the explicit correlation with idealized markets. [...]
this definitely feels like a leap but maybe they're onto something here, idk
—p.76 Big Diff, granularity, incoherence and production in the Github software repository (69) by Matthew Fuller 1 year, 2 months ago
the archive is a site of production
[...] Github works via the encouragement of contribution. Some of this encouragement is achieved through an efficient and useful system, via the extension adoption of user experience design, contemporary 'flat design'-style graphic design and, of course, a cartoon mascot. Equally, the site operates by numerous types of granularity of access to analytics. There are numerous 'social' features such as letting you view the repos 'people you may know' have starred [...] we have the archive also operating as a matrix of capture and semiotization devices driven by the imperatives to rate, share, participate! As an economic factor, such hyper-auditing devices allow the site to become a means of finding an hiring programmers; Git and Github profiles become key to coders' CVs as a means of displaying the productivity, uptake and significance of the work produced. In this way, as in others, the archive is a site of production, an engine for the development of new software that involutes the sense or the archive as a repository of the unchanging past. Storage becomes the site of production when the form of production is variation.
need to think about insightful the last bit really is, but it is cool to read about GitHub from this kind of theoretical perspective
post-FLOSS
[...] Post-FLOSS inhabits conditions in which code objects, scripts, css files for the layout of a website, configuration files for customising the look and function of a program etc. form so much part of everyday generic stuff that they are not worth protecting in the way that the adoption of a licence implies, even when that licence is available on a drop-down menu.

I’m still trying to decide what’s more fascinating about Kælan Mikla – the fact that they started out as high school students entering a poetry slam in 2013, that Robert Smith himself personally invited them to open up for Placebo at London’s Meltdown Festival five years later, or that they literally named themselves after a Moomin character. What I do know is that this Icelandic darkwave trio are to be experienced at least once in your lifetime.
It’s only right that winter darkness has well and truly set in time for their debut Scottish show at Glasgow’s Nice ‘N’ Sleazy. First, though, there’s support from Body of Light, Dais Records’ own self-declared synth cowboys otherwise known as Alex and Andrew Jarson. While this Arizona duo’s variety of synthpop has inevitably been compared to the likes of Depeche Mode and Pet Shop Boys, the fact that albums like ‘Let Me Go’ and their more recent release ‘Time To Kill’ borrow from techno, EBM and even futurepop on occasion makes their addition to the lineup an exciting prospect in itself.
There’s a good turnout in Nice ‘N’ Sleazy’s basement by the time I arrive for the main event. Body of Light are already in full swing, the combination of Andrew’s synth arrangements and Alex’s reverberating vocals instantly whisking everyone away to another dimension altogether. They’ve got a vintage look that complements their sound perfectly too, and while tracks like ‘How Do I Know?’ are a surge of ecstasy that’s enough to lift your seasonal depression in a heartbeat, Alex appears to be having the actual time of his life – in between dancing his ass off and jumping up to reach the ceiling, he also walks directly into the crowd to get up close and personal with us, unapologetically beaming all the way through until they finish their set with ‘Fever Freak’. Despite breaking a sweat, Body of Light make putting on a show look easy and seriously leave you craving more.
Kælan Mikla are something else entirely. I’d read from their interviews that they try to summon the spirit of the Lady of the Cold with their performances, and it’s the kind of statement that might have you laughing if it wasn’t so frighteningly accurate. As Laufey (vocals), Sólveig (synths) and Margrét (bass) emerge looking almost identical in their witchlike appearance, dark and sinister vibrations descend on the room as part of a ceremonial start that has us all holding our breath. All three then begin to dance to the intensely gripping atmosphere of ‘Gandreið’, and it’s no exaggeration to say that the shrieks that escape Laufey’s lungs could instill fear into any living creature.
From here onwards, the trio are in absolute control. One minute we’re drifting away to the darkwave pull of ‘Hvernig kemst ég upp?’ and 'Draumadís', and the next we’re standing still enthralled by the unusual synthpunk wonder that is ‘Kalt’; the amount of crowd members hungry to capture the latter on camera seems to confirm what a unique sensory experience it really is.
Visually, it’s impossible to ignore Kælan Mikla’s theatrics, either. When she’s not squeezing her eyes shut with her face twisted in a rage, Laufey stares into the void, eyes wide open and darting around the room as she frantically recites verses in order to cast a spell on us. Meanwhile, Sólveig and Margrét give nothing away, their bodies ceaselessly in motion while their expressions remain emotionless. Oddly enough, this terrifying stage presence completely contradicts how sweet and innocent the three of them come across when they’re out of character (as well introducing several of their songs with a smile, they also take the opportunity to dedicate one or two to friends in the audience).
Still, wicked synths linger on with ‘Næturblóm’ and its clattering drums, and suffice to say not even a language barrier can water down the glaring fact that ‘Nótt eftir nótt’ is inspired by nightmares, insomnia and confusion. More than anything, there’s just something about Kælan Mikla songs that’s genuinely unsettling. As melodramatic as it sounds, listening to them really does induce the feeling of being exposed in the wilderness with nowhere to take refuge from the harshness of the cold or the lurking dangers of your own imagination.
Following a brief exit from the stage, Laufey, Sólveig and Margrét return to perform one final song amidst fan requests for ‘a screamy one’. The trio are of course happy to oblige, and the night draws to a conclusion with a throwback to their self-titled debut in the form of ‘Orao’. Although they may not be ones to take themselves too seriously, there’s no doubt in my mind after tonight about how devastating these women can be when they drag you into the depths of their world – once you’ve been there, coming back is like resurfacing from a vivid dream that simply cannot be erased from memory.

Review: Justice League of America: Second Coming hardcover/paperback (DC Comics)
3 comments | Tags: Justice League of America
It seems the best of times and the worst of times for the Justice League of America title. In Second Coming, writer Dwayne McDuffie presents a Justice League tale that is interesting and well-steeped in League history, though suffers from a general sense of unimportance. This is fine Justice League, but I dare say Justice League needs to be better than "fine" in order to make a mark.
For the most part, Second Coming serves to rejuvenate two fan-favorite Justice League characters, Red Tornado and Vixen. These are necessary steps, and under different auspices both stories might succeed far better. Focusing on Red Tornado and Vixen, especially the latter, makes this feel less like a Justice League story than a character piece with plenty of guest stars (though McDuffie gives nice moments to both Black Canary and Zatanna, and also Animal Man). Neither Tornado nor Vixen change here, nor do any other Leaguers, such that this story could have taken place just as well in JLA Classified as in the main title.
McDuffie recognizes that Red Tornado, to be sure, has been in this position before -- his body destroyed, the League trying to rebuild him -- and turns the story on Tornado's sense of trying to change his life. The change, Tornado's proposal to his girlfriend, is a good one (I thought they were already married), though it doesn't help the reader escape the same ennui that Tornado feels. McDuffie takes up a good chunk of Tornado's story in this book with the Justice League fighting Amazo -- that is, again. There's nothing notable about this incarnation of Amazo, no gimmick or special circumstances; it's just a hero/villain slugfest with an equally simple, the heroes acknowledge, solution. McDuffie gets the voices of all these characters, especially Tornado and Zatanna, but ultimately this part has little to distinguish itself.
Much like Gail Simone's long Black Canary storyline in Birds of Prey, McDuffie has stripped Vixen of her powers, her League status, everything -- only to restore her in this volume essentially the same as before. Arguably, Vixen gains a healthy dose of respect from the League (as, one imagines, she is meant to gain from the reader), but frankly, I liked Vixen just as much as I did before. McDuffie writes a good Vixen story, don't get me wrong, and a fine one-off tale of an alternate Justice League, but I felt more relief to see Vixen's powers back to normal than I did cheer at her recovery. It's hard to say at this point what original writer Brad Meltzer might have intended for Vixen's haywire powers in the first place, but I hope from here on to see less drama surrounding the character and more of Vixen as a valued member of the League.
At the end of Second Coming, the reader learns that Anansi, source of Vixen and apparently Animal Man's troubles for a white, was essentially "just kidding." The trickster character claims he's been testing Vixen for the purpose of strengthening her for a fight ahead -- that is, Anansi isn't a villain, and all his villainous acts can just be swept under the rug. It's an unfortunate amount of noise to ultimately signify nothing; Anansi makes interesting claims about fabricating the aliens that gave Animal Man his powers, and also about having ties to problems with the Multiverse in Final Crisis, but that he "takes it all back" in the end contributes to the story falling flat.
Of course, one always has to watch when a writer introduces a "storyteller" character into a story, as McDuffie does with the Anansi. It's perhaps too easy to read McDuffie's well-publicized frustrations with writing Justice League in what Anansi says -- for instance, Vixen admonishing Anansi to "put everything back" in its place, and Anansi refusing because it's what "they" want him to do. McDuffie decrying "excessive continuity" through Anansi is worthwhile for a laugh, though the details of his plan to use Vixen to "reassert ... control" (over the direction of the Justice League title, presumably) smacks a bit of desperation.
There's a lot I liked about Justice League of America: Second Coming. McDuffie references an earlier meeting between Animal Man and Vixen, technically out of continuity -- good. McDuffie offers some "guy talk" where Superman is sensitive and Green Lantern is brash in giving Red Arrow advice -- good. And there's a beautifully illustrated scene of Black Lightning having a heart-to-heart with Hawkgirl (not sure if this is Ed Benes or one of the guest writers), marred only by a mix-up of Hawkgirl and Black Canary's backstories. It's a good book, not a waste of time or money (though it contains remarkably few issues for a hardcover), but McDuffie fails to do anything new with the Justice League here. After their long years of history, I'm not sure just teaming up these heroes cuts it any more.

The state of Justice League under Dwayne was just a sad thing. Even when he had something going, it felt like it was buried under either frustration or an agenda. Most of his later run felt more like Dwayne taking out his frustrations with the title than it did him actually telling a Justice League story; wait until you get into Worlds Collide, where he seemed to be trying to make a point but made Black Canary out to be more like a tool.
If anything, I think it proves Dwayne isn't really cut out for mainstream comics. A lot of people try to blame misdirection and such all on editorial, but the thing is that a really good writer knows how to take that kind of thing and work either with it or around it. Many past Justice League writers did this while still maintaining momentum and what some fans don't seem to realize is that Dwayne didn't even seem to really try to do this at times.
I mean, some of the most cynical comic writers always figured out ways to get around the "tie-in". Garth used these to tell single issue stories that either mocked an event or had it merely as a backdrop, especially in Hitman. Keith Giffen does it a lot. The Electric Blue Superman misstep came right in the middle of Grant Morrisons Justice League and he kept right on rolling. I understand his frustrations, but when you let your anger at a company rule your work, you're going to run into some problems. I feel like this is what happened with the issues Dwayne did that weren't even tied to events.
Some people just aren't cut out for the grind of mainstream comics or the way they work. There's really no shame in it. There are several who stick to indy work largely because of this reason. I think Dwayne just let the bitterness get the best of him in the end, in and outside of the comic.

My review of Justice League: Worlds Collide on Monday will get into some of these same points about. Indeed I believe crossovers are frustrating for comics writers, but I thought of the Electric Blue Superman exactly -- Grant Morrison just seemed to roll with it.
Ditto too on Black Canary in Worlds Collide; McDuffie claims he had plans for her, but certainly his departure left her fairly broken after Gail Simone did such a good job building her up.
Oh, without a doubt they've got to be frustrating at times. You're basically being told to tell a story with your title related to someone elses story. That can't be the greatest of feelings if it's not something you specifically sought out.
Still, I can't help thinking of the writers who did it all the time. A lot of them just work the tie-ins into their overlying stories. Which is pretty much how you should go about it. I don't really get why things went so wrong; a lot of folks are jumping to blame editorial for what a mess Dwaynes Justice League was, but I can't help feeling he held just as much blame.

To what degree is Net Worth a phantom, a ghost, a cipher? We only discover its emptiness when we sense mortality's hand on our left shoulder.
Longtime correspondent Yoni F. recently posed a profound question: what if our Net Value was measured as diligently as our Net Worth?
On what categories/areas would you rate a person's contribution/value to the world?In the absence of an alternative, we seem to value money as a proxy for value. However, as you note, wealth is not equally valuable (e.g. Steve Jobs vs. Jamie Dimon). So outside of cash, how else should we think about evaluating people? Charity, time spent with family, time spent creating goods/values, time spent employing others, power over others, etc.
As I think about it, we all divide our time among various activities and it may make sense to segment us by how we spend it. In the end, the scarcest resource of all is time and how we choose to use it says a lot about who we are. What if there was a way to make our "Net Value" to society be as well known as our "Net Worth", maybe that would lead to a change in mentality/perspective.
Thank you, Yoni, for asking questions that are completely out of the mainstream. Yoni has raised a number of core issues about our lifestyle, the human experience, and the way we spend our lives. As he wisely notes, "the scarcest resource of all is time", and how we spend our limited time not only defines who we are but also expresses our core values and shapes our legacy.
I will start my response with this general observation:
1. The key characteristic of activities that create financial Net Worth and "meaning" in the Status Quo is that they generate sale and profits for corporations/cartels and tax revenues for the State.
The aspirations shared by almost all center around external signifiers of status: a large, beautifully decorated home in a desirable neighborhood, a luxury vehicle (or working-class equivalent, a monster pickup or SUV), a costly watch or bauble, designer clothing, blah, blah, blah.
Higher up the scale, an advanced degree, foreign travel (collecting "places visited" like kids collect marbles--"I have more!"), membership in exclusive clubs and other behavioral signifiers of status are sought, all to show the world "I have value, I'm exceptional, I'm important," i.e. markers of self-worth.
The same can be said for the majority of items on "bucket lists," the lists of experiences one is supposed to check off in a last-minute frenzy to add meaning to one's life once mortality can no longer be staved off:
Skydiving, $500
Midnight in Paris, $5,000
And so on: most bucket lists I've seen are simply checklists of profit-generating tourist destinations or adventures. The bucket list invites us to spend whatever cash/credit we might have on a checklist of what (heavily marketed) conventional wisdom has pinpointed as markers of "worth" and "meaning."
The basic idea is: self-worth and meaning are created by profit/tax-generating acquisition of status signifiers. This is just as you'd expect in a State-cartel debt-based consumerist economy: this definition of self-worth and meaning has been marketed to us non-stop since the day we entered this world, because the State/ corporate partnership profits from our belief in their profit/tax machine's self-serving definition of meaning and self-worth.
How much profit is generated by falling in love? I don't mean all the sappy adverts pushing the purchase of trinkets--once again, signifiers being sold as substitutes for the real thing. I mean the experience of falling in love is absolutely free.
How much profit is there in nurturing a garden? A few cents of profit for the seeds, perhaps, but hardly enough to keep the State/corporate machine going.
What if we reverse the conventional belief system and state that self-worth and meaning can only arise where there is no profit/tax generated? If a profit or tax is generated, then the most powerful institutions in the land have a keen self-interest in your choice to spend time/money on something that generates profits/taxes for them. As a result, we can hardly expect their marketing to be neutral in the matter.
Let's start our list of categories that rate a person's contribution/value to the world with friendship. What if one's Net Value were based on the number of close friends one has nurtured in this life, friends that one trust enough and that know you well enough that you can unburden your darkest secrets to them and know they will not betray your trust?
A close friend (in my view) is someone who is welcomed into your home, regardless of circumstance, as you are welcomed in his. A close friend has spent so many years in friendship with you that he/she knows you better, in some ways, than your parents or siblings.
A close friend is not lost when you change jobs or locales. A close friend's kids can rely on you to act as an uncle or aunt, doing anything to aid them that you would do for your own family. A close friend is someone you want to see in your last days in this life, to savor your many adventures and experiences and to see them one last time.
I have known far too many people who owned all the signifiers of conventional worth and meaning, the big fancy house with maids and gardeners in attendance the luxury auto, the membership in some exclusive club, etc., but they did not have even one friend-- not just no close friend, no real friends at all.
Measured in close friends, their Net Value was zero. Were these people happy and fulfilled? No, they were closet addicts, suffering from a gnawing fear that all their signifiers of value were indeed worthless and superficial.
Friendship takes time, energy, and some element of selflessness: the person who follows the mindless edict of "looking out for Number One" cannot have any real friends, for everyone in his world is a stepping stone to be used in the relentless climb toward a higher Net Worth or as a mirror reflecting his own self-glorification.
Interestingly, both Yoni and I thought of Bhutan's guiding national policy, Gross Domestic Happiness, as a reference point for Net Value. Yoni forwarded this excerpt:
A second-generation GNH concept, treating happiness as a socioeconomic development metric, was proposed in 2006 by Med Jones, the President of International Institute of Management. The metric measures socioeconomic development by tracking seven development areas including the nation's mental and emotional health. GNH value is proposed to be an index function of the total average per capita of the following measures:
1. Economic Wellness: Indicated via direct survey and statistical measurement of economic metrics such as consumer debt, average income to consumer price index ratio and income distribution
2. Environmental Wellness: Indicated via direct survey and statistical measurement of environmental metrics such as pollution, noise and traffic
3. Physical Wellness: Indicated via statistical measurement of physical health metrics such as severe illnesses
4. Mental Wellness: Indicated via direct survey and statistical measurement of mental health metrics such as usage of antidepressants and rise or decline of psychotherapy patients
5. Workplace Wellness: Indicated via direct survey and statistical measurement of labor metrics such as jobless claims, job change, workplace complaints and lawsuits
6. Social Wellness: Indicated via direct survey and statistical measurement of social metrics such as discrimination, safety, divorce rates, complaints of domestic conflicts and family lawsuits, public lawsuits, crime rates
7. Political Wellness: Indicated via direct survey and statistical measurement of political metrics such as the quality of local democracy, individual freedom, and foreign conflicts.
Here in the U.S., we give lip-service to all these values, but ask yourself: where do we spend most of our time? Serving our masters in the State/market economy, creating Net Worth for ourselves or someone else.
As an alternative to Net Worth, let's start a list of attributes of Net Value:
1. The number of close friendships you have nurtured.
2. The number of people you have mentored.
3. The number of children you've given abundant time to.
4. The number of trees and gardens you've nurtured with your own time and handiwork.
5. The number of practical skills you've acquired and freely shared with others.
6. The time you have spent alone, not in pursuit of work or pleasure but of solitude.
7. The self-directed mastery of difficult disciplines.
8. The number of strangers (foreign visitors, etc.) you have aided or invited into your home without any financial compensation or recognition.
You can probably add eight or more additional attributes of Net Value.
Yes, we all still need to earn a livelihood, but imagine a society constructed around generating Net Value and Gross Domestic Happiness instead of Net Worth. The power structure would collapse because none of these activities or accomplishments generate enough profits or taxes to keep the Machine operational.
A brush with mortality has a way of stripping away the superficial and the false. I think of the film Ikiru (1952) by director Akira Kurosawa, in which the middle-aged protagonist discovers he has a terminal illness. With nothing to show for a career spent behind a desk, he sets out to build a children's playground before he dies.
It is a sad statement that we often only awaken to value and meaning when we've run out of time to change the way we "invest" our time.
I also think of the film Ugetsu (1954) by director Kenji Mizoguchi, in which two brothers leave their families in search of wealth and recognition. One brother ends up living with a phantom woman while his abandoned wife suffers a cruel fate.
How many ghosts are we living with while our real lives have been abandoned as insufficiently ambitious and net-worthy?
Lastly, I think of the film I Hate But Love (1962) by Koreyoshi Kurahara (one of five films by Kurahara in the Eclipse Series 28), in which the two young protagonists seem to have it all--media spotlight, fame, fortune and love--but come to realize there is something deeply inauthentic and unrewarding about their lives.
These happen to be Japanese films, but three similar films could be drawn from any number of filmic traditions.

A new point of view for 2014
I've published a handful of "POV" games, where the girl is actually playing against you, the viewer, through the camera, including Episodes 059, 157, 180, 211, 214, 246, and B046. People who've been following the blog for a long time know that Lily Cameron, once a player here, has moved to the other side of the camer, and I've had her shooting POVs for me, which I've been stockpiling. For a long time people have asked when they'd be released, and for a long time I've been dawdling. Finally, early this year, I promised I'd have them out by the end of the year. As usual, I've procrastinated, but now, at literally the last minute, the deed is done. Just as the ball drops to ring in the New Year, the first 10 clips will hit the new Lost Bets POV store. From then, there will be a new clip every Wednesday.
POVs are very different from the usual "reality porn" we usually shoot. We normally tell our players to just be themselves, while a POV model has to act. Lily didn't direct these in quite the same way we would have, but I hope you like them.

End of December
It's the last weekend in Double December, and Episodes 378 and 379 are ready to finish out the month. Today, Episode 379 brings back Heather, albeit in a featured role rather than as a player. Since that featured role entails her being gloriously naked the whole game, I don't think anyone will complain. On Saturday, Episode 378 has Ashlyn and Richard duking it out for an ass-whooping. By the way, did I mention before that the lovely Ashlyn is just 19? I don't think I did.
Last week, Bex and Piper made a very successful debut against popular amateur Madison and long-awaited returnee Sassy. See them in the very first clip of 2014 in Episode 380, in a very intense game of Elefino that leaves one of them masturbating on the couch while everyone else enjoys the view.
There's a few more new girls working their way through the production queue. Say hi to Savannah:
...and Sage:
Here are a couple of promos of Episode 376's losers:
There are a whole lot of blog comments in the last thread I haven't responded to yet. The holidays have been a bit hectic and I haven't had the time I've needed. I'll get to them, and soon.
Finally, a few years ago, I mentioned that Xena had gotten a for-real no-fooling actual ink-and-needle tattoo of Lost Betsy on her wrist. I posted a picture of it, but pictures aren't too hard to fake. so for any of you doubters out there, check this out. It's totally legit.
The ol' switcheroo
I'm changing around the order of the updates on this latest weekend of Double December. 377 will be published today, 376 on Saturday. The reason is that 376 is softcore. Now, it's really, really good softcore, but so was 375, and in fact they use the same forfeit (both times with excellent results.) It's high time we had more hardcore around here, so presenting 377 with Mouna, Olivia, Grace, and Bob. I liked it.
I'm going to pull the old switcheroo next weekend, the last of Double December, simply because I can't sit on 379 for one more day than necessary. Lela vs. Candle for a butt-plug and a strap-on, using Heather's beautiful naked body as a prop? How could I wait?
Letter from a fan
So a few days ago, I received this interesting email:
Hi Red,
Our names are Eve and Adam [Red's note: names changed]. We are a big fan of your website. We have been viewers for a long time and wanted to contact you because me and my boyfriend have come up with a game for us to play based on your website.
First a little background. We are very loyal to each other and have never cheated. However soon we are planning to become engaged and we decided together that we would have one last chance (at least for one of us) to get other people out of our system. We have decided to create a game where the loser would have to watch the winner have sex with another person while the loser is forced to watch. We have spent much time actually finding people who we both agreed on that the other can have sex with if they win and have got them to agree to this!
We were planning that 'the game' will just be guessing who will win the games on your site before we sit down to watch them. First person to a certain amount of wins would be declared the winner.
As you have been the one who inspired us, we wanted to get your thoughts and 'stamp of approval' or if you have any ideas or changes that you think might work better.
Thank you again for all your great work on the videos and website!
Obviously, the first thing I did after I read this email was to try to talk them into taking their game to LostBets.com and playing for the cameras. (Actually, that's not quite true. The first thing I did was to congratulate them on their pending engagement, and then to make sure they'd really thought this through and were sure that whatever the outcome, they'd both be okay with it.) After considering that, they declined, but they did say that they'd post about their ongoing wager on the blog, so we can follow it and see what happens. They're planning to play until one of them wins five times, alternating who gets first pick. So good luck, Adam and Eve! I'm proud to be a part of this.
Meet the amateurs
I love recruiting amateurs. I love talking girls who've never been naked on camera before into playing stripping games for my cameras so I can share their blushing bodies with the world. Mind you, plenty of my best players have been at least semi-professional models, but there's something about the real girls who never even really thought about posing nude until I brought it up.
Friday's update stars James and Madison, both of whom are amateurs who'd been virgins to naked video until LostBets.com. Friday's update also introduces Delilah, without whom I'd never have met James and Madison.
Delilah was Johnny's girlfriend. She's also pretty hot and I would not have minded at all having her in front of my camera, but she's also got fiercely protective, mean, and armed male relatives, and while I'm sure Delilah's body is worth seeing, I doubt it's worth my life. She makes an appearance in Episode 374, but as a fully-clothed designated clothing-remover and spanker which I'm hoping is tame enough to spare me the wrath of her kinfolk. So instead of posing naked, she did the next best thing: she referred her friends. Madison tends bar at a restaurant where Delilah used to work.
Delilah also introduced me to Bex, who tends bar at a different restaurant where Delilah used to wait tables. (Delilah now waits tables at yet another restaurant. I'm waiting to see if they have a hot bartender.) Bex, in turn, lured in Piper, her friend and, I think, her nanny. Meet the two of them here:
I am not a very good interviewer, but I hope I'm getting better. See them debut in Episode 376.
But first, Double December continues on Saturday with Episode 375. I'm very excited to introduce Heather and Lela, both of whom I think will be popular, as they face off with Candle, who's already popular. Heather is a blonde angel in human form with impressive all-natural knockers and a sweet disposition to match. She wouldn't risk anything sexual (she's not that kind of girl) but you'll like what you see of her. Her first game is Pod Stab (which we've previously called Puck Off) with the markers positioned in a way that guarantees that the increasingly naked players have to run and bend over a lot. And for the forfeit? Well, once upon a time I had a PA named Prudella DePrude, and she made me some cards depicting stick figures in revealing yoga poses. I dusted them off, and wow, do they work well.
Heather's opponent Lela, by the way, really deserves her own special mention. She's definitely the girl next door type, bookish and smart and cute, and like Heather, her boobies are large and they are real. She's fiercely competitive and loves a good challenge, and unlike Heather, she was game for big, risky bets. We'll see that the next time this trio appears, in Episode 379.
That's it for this weekend. Next weekend starts off with Episode 376, and the not-very long-awaited debut of Bex and Piper vs. Madison and Sassy.
Bex and Piper were willing to risk a lot (even though one of them had never even been with a girl before) but the night was young and I thought it best to introduce them to LostBets.com gently, so the first forfeit was merely revealing and embarrassing: the yoga cards. The two newbs teamed up against Madison and Sassy, who didn't have nearly the rapport that the two longtime friends had.
I think it's a good lineup so far but pretty softcore. Balance is restored in Episode 377 on Saturday the 21st. Bob, Mouna, Olivia, and Grace return to play a free-for-all game of group Rock-Paper-Scissors to one loser, whom the winners use as their plaything.
Yeah, that's the stuff.
The following Friday we open with Ashlyn battling Richard (Bailey had to go, damn it) with the loser bending over for the paddle. The winner applies it with gusto.
Finally, on Saturday the 28th, Candle and Lela return, along with Heather. Lela wanted to bet big. Candle was willing. Heather was not. So the game was just Candle vs. Lela, as they fire ink-coated darts at Heather, strapped fully naked in spread-eagle with targets painted on her body. That's what she gets for not being adventurous, although considering what was at stake, I can't say I blame her. The loser gets a good strap-on fucking. After, that is, a butt plug is inserted into the loser's poor asshole, where it is held while she's getting fucked.
Thanks to Phillip Payne (any relation to Ilyn or Podrick?) for the name Body Shots for this game. (The players don't call it that. I shot the game before I had the name.) Contact me via email (red@lostbets.com) for a free copy of this one.
That brings us to the end of Double December. I leave you with Star.
Double December
In honor of the holiday season, we're celebrating Double December, in which every weekend brings a double update. We've gotten far enough ahead in the production queue that I feel we can handle publishing 8 clips in 4 weeks. In the coming weeks, we're going to introduce some new players I'm really excited about.
First, though, we're going to close out a couple of long-running series. Today, Episode 372 concludes he saga of Paige, Katie, and Hollis. It's another Ice Race through a hotel hallway, with losers left shivering wet and naked, with diamond-hard nipples.
Now, to talk about Episode 373, we have to talk about Angel, who is back, along with her hubby Lance as well as Xzavier and Kandii Angel has what has to be the worst record of any player at LostBets.com. Let's run through the dishonor roll:
Episode 238. Lost to Brianna, got forced to orgasm with wand massager.
Episode 247. Lost to Brianna, gave an anatomy lesson using her body.
Episode 257. Lost to Brianna, fucked herself with a glass dildo.
Episode 264. Lost to Brianna, had to parade in public in slingshot swimsuit
Episode 270. Lost to Lance, gave him a blowjob
Episode 347. Lost badly, even though she didn't play. Had to exhibit her body to Xzavier.
Episode 355. Lost to Kandii, was forced to multiple orgasms and milked.
Episode 362. Won with Kandii in a team game, got to give a vicious paddling.
Episode 370. Lost to Kandii, got fucked with a strap-on.
None of the above games was fixed or rigged in any way. She's just that unlucky. But give her credit: she always comes back for more with a smile on her face and gives it her best.
In Episode 373, she'll have to show us how she masturbates if she loses again. But really, what are the odds of that?
373 marks the end of this particular sequence of games, but we haven't seen the last of Angel and Lance. They'll be back sometime in 2014.
Next week, we start off in Episode 374 by saying farewell to two more great players as James and Madison play their last game, but again, no need to say farewell. You'll see Madison again before you know it.
Then on Saturday, meet newbies Heather and Lela along with veteran and favorite Candle in Episode 375. They play a new game which gets them running around, making big bare breasts wobble every which way.
In case you need help rembering Lela:
Finally, here's Reyanna in all her naked glory.

Procyon Games
The best games in Second Life
New scoring, Phase 2
I now have Phase 2 of the scoring in place.
Under the old system, if you beat someone who had more points than you, you got all their points. This was nice in that if you beat the #1 ranked person, you became the new #1, which made a certain amount of sense. But it made the board too fluid, and a lucky win by a noob could catapult him to the top unfairly.
In the new system, when you beat someone who's ranked above you, you get one quarter of the point difference (so if they have 100 and you have 50, you would gain 50/4 = 12 points). Also, the person you beat loses those points. So there's a net-zero gain (both players still receive their touch points, though).
This should make the board more stable, and hopefully a better reflection of true skill. Also it will make team scoring easier (team scores will just be the sum of all member scores).
The rankings have been updated to retroactively reflect the new score system.
Labels: en garde
My only worry with this system is whether players will be willing to jeopardize a 25% difference reduction if they loose to a very low ranked opponent . My opinion is that it will make the leader board harder to crack into, or maybe even impossible if matches are refused. Ex. one player could win four matches for a gain of 20 and loose one and loose it all plus more. While if the top people just play each other they stay fairy stable. Why would they want to play someone way down in rank ? I know this game is supposed to be about fun but the competitive side of us also wants to climb and see how we fair against other. I just fear the leaders will be a elite group that will play just withen there ranks.
Does this mean you will play me now Richard?
Obi Woebegone said...
Does it mean Clair , Tamil , Juls, Brook will play me because soon your group will own the whole board ?
The hope for the new scoring was that it would encourage more players to play each other. If you keep playing the same people, then you're just tossing points back and forth. But if you can play and beat several people on the leader board, then your score will really jump. I'd like to keep this scoring in place for a while to see if that will indeed happen, but if I was wrong then more tweaking is in order...
Rifkin Habsburg said...
I think it is a good compromise - I just lost about 40 points to somebody who played well but didn't have a lot of points... Still that doesn't put me entirely out of reach of the top :-) More "encouragement" to mix it up would be nice though I think, a little incentive to play new players. Double points if you play somebody you never played before?
I also think its a good compromise. We were invited to a tournament today (beautiful new playing area built by Tyr and Aries) that many people had been invited to, so the chance was there to play people out of your group if you really wanted to. We play a lot of people out of our group, it's what the game is all about, we don't play just within our ranks and it's made the game even more fun. I don't mind playing people in lower rankings; the worst thing that happens if you lose is you're docked some points. So what if it was a good game!
Thanks Rifkin, we look forward to the Team play now!

Could this be the year Rafael Nadal is dethroned at the French Open?
Nicholas Spiller
The 2015 French Open began this weekend, and while 9 of the last 10 editions of this Grand Slam have seen the same man take the prize, something certainly feels different this year. Rafael Nadal, the sensational Spaniard who has made this tournament his own, is actually struggling. He has just one title this year (the unimpressive Argentina Open) and has fallen down to 7th in the ATP rankings, placing him well off the pace of his main competitors like Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer. Is his capitulation going to be complete at the Roland Garros this year?

The undisputed “King of Clay” has been largely off the pace during the clay court warm-up tournaments in the past month. At the Monte Carlo Masters, he lost in the semifinals to top ranked Djokovic. At the Barcelona Open, Nadal fell in the 3rd round to Fabio Fognini. In Madrid, it was resurgent Andy Murray that took him down in the final, and most recently in Rome, Nadal was beaten by Stanislas Wawrinka. What’s most alarming about these losses is that they were all straight set victories.

Since 2005 (when Nadal’s clay domination began), he has won at least one of these warm-ups every year before the French Open, often times numerous ones. In 2005, he won them all. This year he didn’t win a single one, and he’s often fallen well before the final matches. Why on Earth would he manage to snatch a 10th French Open title after such mediocre play?
Well, because he is after all Rafael Nadal, the “King of Clay”! His play in Paris over the years has been sensational. He’s outlasted the greats time and time again, cementing his legacy as the greatest clay court tennis player of all time.
But like all legends, his time will come, and this could be that moment. Other top men’s players have been eyeing such an opportunity for their entire pro careers. I sense this could be the moment for Djokovic to take this title, or perhaps Federer to claim a second, or even Murray could win in. Based on how this season has gone, I simply cannot fathom Nadal earning his 10th French Open title in 2015. Perhaps he will win another in the future, but his current form is average at best, and I suspect he will lose.

Neutral theory and non-Darwinian evolution for newbies
by stcordova » Mon Apr 14, 2014 2:49 am
This thread is to discuss my articles at UD pertaining to neutral theory and non-Darwinian evolution.
Why fixation in gigantic but widely separated human populations doesn't happen

Clearly I need to learn more about population genetics.
Can you walk me through the dust-up with vjtorley? I'll explain how I understood it. Maybe you can expand or correct me.
Torley was arguing that neutral theory could not account for the number of genetic differences between humans and chimps, meaning the number of mutations away from a common ancestor which became fixed in their respective populations. And he was wrong about that. Neutral theory can, in the allotted time, account for the raw number of fixed mutations from the human/chimp common ancestor.
Do I have it right?
Tragic Mishap
by stcordova » Tue Apr 15, 2014 6:37 pm
Tragic Mishap,
My view: Dr. Torley was criticizing neutral evolution of humans on mathematical grounds alone, I was saying the math could be right for neutral theory, but neutral evolution must be criticized on functional grounds (we'd be dead if we evolved that way). Dr. Torley had the right conclusion, but not for the best of reasons.
I felt Dr. Torley was making himself vulnerable by venturing in mathematical areas, and it is hard enough to do this even if one is versant in math and population genetics. Even I wouldn't have ventured were it not for the fact that I Walter ReMine, John Sanford, and even the evolutionists were in general agreement the math makes it possible for neutral evolution to fix 100 mutations per generation.
Now why don't we see that today? The problem is the population is so large, and furthermore the experiments that might confirm it would require we inbreed humans. If done for purely research purposes, this would be highly unethical because we'd knowingly be making lots of genetically compromised individuals.
We do know however, from inbreeding experiments on other animals, that fast fixation can work providing the creatures don't die in the process.
If Dr. Torley had talked along the lines of the Mendel Team, there might not have been so much back and forth. The Mendel Team argued such a process would be lethal, they didn't argue that is mathematically impossible, it is functionally impossible.
You might notice that although Dr. Moran just called me an IDiot on his blog, he didn't fundamentally contest my claims on scientific grounds. On beating dead horses.
I was reminded of this while reading Salvador Corova's latest post on Uncommon Descent because he refers to beating dead horses [If not Rupe and Sanford’s presentation (8/6/13), would you believe Wiki? In this case, yes]. I'm not going to make any comments. Read it and weep for the IDiots.
Sal begins with ...
Evolutionists reluctantly admit most evolution is free of selection and therefore non-Darwinian ...
I've been trying to teach this to the IDiots for over twenty years. Yet they still insist on referring to evolution as "Darwinism" and they continue to ignore random genetic drift in their attacks on evolution. About 99% of all IDiots have no idea what Sal is talking about. (Sal Cordova doesn't know either.)
What Sal is saying is that practically all of the mutations being fixed in humans are either neutral or slightly deleterious. That has implications. It strongly suggests that most of our genome is junk.
If Moran made a slight change to what he said by saying "It strongly suggests that most of our genome WOULD BE junk." He will have made the same argument the Mendel YECs are making.
That is why the neutral fixation argument is valuable to the YECs. I salute Dr. Torley's courage in this, but the results of population genetics are counter intuitive, and not even Darwin saw the problem!
by johnspenn » Mon Apr 21, 2014 8:30 pm
Does Neutral Theory have any greater explanatory power than Darwinian Evolution?
Does it explain OOL?
Does it explain where the complex specified information contained in DNA comes from?
Does it explain the appearance of irreducibly complex cellular machinery such as the flagellar motor?
Does it explain how life transitions from one body plan to the next, ie from single to multiple celled animals, the Cambrian explosion, the emergence of fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, and humans in a logical and credible fashion?
Or, is it just another case of "The Emperor Has New Clothes"?
by stcordova » Tue Apr 22, 2014 10:33 am
It depends which version of neutral theory one is considering, the evolutionist version or the YEC version.
The YEC version of neutral theory is evidence humanity is young because we should be dead 100 times over if we had been evolving the way we actually see we're evolving today (each generation is slightly sicker than the parents).
The evolutionist version of neutral fails exactly for the reasons you describe.

Vampire have existed in a variety of cultures almost since the dawn of time. Until the 19th century, they were believed to be monsters, rather than the stereotype of a Mehr aristocratic being who could infiltrate the world around us, as popularised Von Bram Stoker. Legend has developed since, with pop culture shows such as "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", which tackles concepts such as a vampire with a soul and possible redemption for a creature previously believed to have had no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Bella lists her observations when she is researching on the internet: "Speed, strength,...

An Interview with Peter and Anne Venton
Peter and Anne Venton are both researchers from Canada, they are respectively concerned with economic inequality and human rights from an environmental point of view. In November 2014, they were on a tour in Taiwan, giving speeches in various cities about "the Radical Changes in Canadian Democracy for the Ecology and the Public Good" and "The Environment, Women and Human Rights".
We caught up with them at the end of the tour of Taiwan for a brief interview.
Anne Venton talks about the necessity of enshrining the right to a clean environment in the Constitution.
Peter Venton addresses some of the weaknesses of Canadian democracy.
Read the paper Peter Venton presented at the Global Ecological Integrity Group International Conference in June 2014:

A Video Diary from the Pacific Workshop
In June and July 2013, the Fijian navigator Setareki Ledua and the Samoan dancer Tupe Lualua toured Taiwan for a cultural workshop designed to enhance the exchanges and links between Taiwan Austronesians and other cultures from the Pacific. Here are some videos filmed, compiled and edited by members of our team and participants in the workshop.
Sailing on the Blue Canoe
Setareki Ledua, whom we generally just called "Seta", is 22 years old and he is from Fiji. Between 2010 and 2013, he spent two years navigating on "Uto Ni Yalo" ("Heart of Spirit" in Fijian), one of the canoes from the Pacific Voyager fleet that roam throughout the Pacific ocean using traditional navigation methods. During June and July 2013, he was invited to Taiwan by the Taiwan Society for Pacific Studies for a 6-weeks workshop in order to share his knowlegde and his experience as the youngest Chief Officer ever on the Pacific Voyager fleet.
In this first interview, he had just arrived to Taipei and he shyly introduces himself and traditional canoe sailing:
Does the way you hold your chopsticks influence the way people see you?
We asked around the office, asking both foreigner and Taiwanese people how the way people hold their chopsticks influences the way they feel they are perceived or the way they perceive others - we got a range of responses, some which contradicted one another, others which seemed to have been fabricated out of thin air.

After the Quake: Rituals in North Western Sichuan
Rituals organize and symbolize a way of living together. Through the enactment of rituals, a community expresses its fear, its solidarity and its longings. In traditional societies, performing rituals enables people to organize time and space into a meaningful universe, to renew their commitment to the group to which they belong, and to cement an alliance among them, with nature and with the supernatural.
The variety of ritual forms is astounding. It reflects the richness of cultural forms, artworks and humane inventiveness. Among the ethnic minorities who, all together, account for almost ten percent of China's population, those living in the southwest may offer the widest repertoire of ritual performances. Caring for the souls of the dead, exorcising ghosts so as to cure illnesses, rejoicing at marriages, New Year or at harvest time. The four rituals mentioned here all take place in Sichuan province, among people of Yi, Qiang and Ersu ethnic origins.

[1] A CONTRASTIVE STUDY OF RHETORICAL DEVICES IN CHILDREN’S SONGS IN ENGLISH AND VIETNAMESE
This thesis is designed to study the rhetorical devices in children‟s songs in English versus Vietnamese by means of descriptive and comparative methods. Both qualitative and quantitative analysis are conducted basing on the investigation of a corpus of 500 rhetorical devices (250 in each language) taken from 20th- century children‟s songs in both English and Vietnamese. These children‟s songs are mainly collected from books for children under the age of 16 and school music textbooks for children from class 1 to class 9. On the basis of contrastive analysis, this thesis is carried out to find out the similarities and differences in terms of rhetorical devices in children‟s songs in English and Vietnamese, namely lexical rhetorical devices (metaphor, metonymy, simile, personification) and phonetic rhetorical device (repetition). The study found that of all five rhetorical devices analyzed in the thesis, Repetition (phonetic rhetorical device) is by far the most popular one in both English and Vietnamese songs for children. As far as lexical rhetorical devices are concerned, all four lexical rhetorical devices are used more commonly in Vietnamese children‟s songs than in English ones, with the highest one belonging to Metaphor. With an eye to partly contributing to better teaching and learning English as a foreign language, specifically to the awareness of learners and composers in writing children‟s songs, some implications and ideas are also included.

[2] A DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF INTERVIEWS IN SPORT IN ENGLISH AND VIETNAMESE
This study aims at conducting a discourse analysis of interviews in sports in English and Vietnamese in order to discover some typical discourse features and then find out the similarities and differences in terms of the layout, lexical features, syntactic features and cohesive devices between these two kinds of sport interviews. The study is carried out based on the theories of discourse analysis and a combination of a variety of methods such as qualitative, quantitative, descriptive and contrastive analysis. 100 samples of sport interviews in English and 100 samples of sport interviews in Vietnamese were collected from the internet for recent years. The findings showed that along with some similarities, there were a number of noticeable differences. In terms of the layout, EIS and VIS share a similar layout which consists of headline, introduction, body and conclusion. In terms of lexical features, EIS uses the attributive adjectives commonly while VIS prefers to use the borrowing words frequently. With regard to the syntactic features, reported speech and common structures are investigated respectively. Finally, cohesive devices reveals reference, repetition and conjunction are the prominent devices used in both English and Vietnamese sport interviews. Based on the findings, the thesis presented some implications and suggestions for learning and teaching in English. It is hoped that the results of the thesis are useful for those who are interested in sport interviews

[3] A STUDY OF REPETITION IN ENGLISH AND VIETNAMESE FOLK SONGS
This study investigated into the stylistic features of repetition in English and Vietnamese folk songs. With the analysis of 200 folk songs including 400 samples of typical repetition along with the statistic information, this study will provide an in-depth analysis of linguistic features of repetition in English Folk Songs and Vietnamese Folk Songs. Then we will compare the similarities and differences of linguistic features of repetition in folk songs of two nations. We found that English and Vietnamese share a lot of entities in the mappings concerning the use of repetition by composers. Basing on the findings and results of this study, some implications for the teaching and learning of English, translation work as well as composing songs will also be suggested. Hopefully, the result of the study can be somewhat beneficial for the teaching and learning of English. This study may also be helpful for the readers of English.

[4] A STUDY OF RHETORICAL DEVICES IN LOVE SONG TITLES IN ENGLISH VERSUS VIETNAMESE
This thesis is conducted to investigate some commonly used rhetorical devices; point out their similarities, differences and their frequencies of occurrence in English and Vietnamese love song titles. The data of the study were collected from songbooks and music websites in English and Vietnamese. The data were described and contrastively analyzed on stylistic aspects under qualitative and quantitative approaches to yield more precise points on rhetorical devices in English and Vietnamese love song titles. On the basis of a contrastive analysis, the thesis tries to find out some commonly used rhetorical devices in English and Vietnamese love song titles, namely metaphor, metonymy, simile, personification, and rhetorical questions. With an eye to partly contributing to better teaching and learning English as a foreign language, specifically to better the awareness of learners in translating and writing songs, some suggested ideas are also included.

[6] AN INVESTIGATION INTO COGNITIVE METAPHORS OF “HOMELAND” IN TRINH CONG SON’S VERSUS BOB DYLAND’S SONGS
Adopting Lakoff and Johnson’s famous Conceptual Metaphor Theory, the study looked into an investigation into the Cognitive metaphors of “Homeland” in Trinh Cong Son’s and Bob Dylan’s songs. The corpus comprises over 780 songs composed by Trinh Cong Son and Bob Dylan. The research was conducted by means of questionnaires and interviews. The results showed how the two authors made use of metaphorical expressions of “Homeland” in their songs and hence, some similarities and differences between the two languages were explored as well. The author uses some methods in this study. However, the qualitative and quantitative are regarded as the two main approaches for the survey.
