OKANOGAN An estimated 500 people sipped wine, nibbled on cheese and hors d'oeuvres and bid on a variety of donated items during the 15th annual Okanogan-Omak Rotary Club Wine and Cheese Tasting Event on Saturday.
The event filled the Okanogan County Fairgrounds Agriplex, 175 Rodeo Trail Road. The building was lined with lighted wine glass decorations, and additional lights twinkled on tables.
Many event-goers dressed in their finest party clothes.
Event organizers haven't yet tallied the event's proceeds, since not all bills are in, President-elect Dena Byl said. She said attendance seemed to be higher than last year.
The event usually brings in around $30,000, which goes back into the community, event chairwoman Debi Clark said.
"We're really happy with this year's wine and cheese event," Byl said.
Event-goers sampled 53 wines, three hard ciders, eight types of spirits and three beers. Soft cider and coffee also were available.
Several tables were laden with cheeses, salmon and other food. Omak High School family and consumer education students assisted with food preparation and serving, and received a donation for their efforts.
Three silent auctions, with varying bid closing times, were offered.
One live auction featured a table full of gourmet desserts. Highlights included a chocolate-Kahlua trifle made by Mary Womack and several Rotary-themed cakes made by the Breadline Cafe, Omak, Byl said.
An open auction drew spirited bidding, with some people getting bargains, others paying market price and still others spending far more than the items' value.
"We had some very cool and diverse auction items," Byl said.
Auction items ranged from a bone-in smoked ham, protein shakes and auto dent repair to a week-long stay in Costa Rica, 25 pounds of frozen crab and a utility tractor rental.
The Costa Rica trip sold for around $700.
"The community has been awesome in donating," Clark said.
The event is the club's main fundraiser.
The club supports a variety of community projects, including $6,000 each to Omak and Okanogan high school graduation senior scholarships, support of an exchange student, casino events for both schools' post-graduation parties, St. Nicholas Christmas Basket and children's fishing derby.
A recent donation was a $21,000 stage for the fairgrounds.
Rotarians also sold balloons for the organization's worldwide anti-polio effort. Last year the group sent more than $2,000 to Rotary International's polio program.

Perhaps God could actually use Pink Floyd to help someone straighten their life out. Stranger things have happened.
(snip) i've been wondering if I should eliminate all types of music from my list except for Orthodox. (snip)
My line of thought is that I should strive to do what is good instead of focusing my energy on abstaining from unnecessary things. In time the unnecessary things seems to get left behind.My best wishes,Robert
The only words of wisdom I can provides is "You do not find God by fleeing the devil, but you might flee the devil if you find God" (please note that I am horribly unqualified to give any sort of advice).
Greetings Forum,The godly Russian Patriarch Joasaph I, in the year 1636 (perhaps we would call him an Old Believer) banned all foreign musical instruments. Joasaph I said that "only bells, drums and horns call the angels, all other musical instruments call the demons". So, by going house to house he had all the devilish instruments loaded up and ceremoniously drug across the river where once there they were all destroyed.Forgive, John
I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.
I would be careful not to cut everything out of your life at once. If you realize it's destructive, then remove it slowly, but trying to do it all at once can make one feel overwhelmed. And for myself, I think that's when a truly slip into self-destructive habits.
I remember a monk-priest years ago telling my friends and I never to attend ballets, operas or the circus because they were inherently evil. He ended up disobeying his own bishop and being defrocked and excommunicated a few years later.
What if in following the monks' advice, you miss an opportunity to witness our faith?
Forgive, John
We forgive you for not knowing the difference between godliness and xenophobia.Oddly enough, a Google search for this patriarch yielded only one result, a post you yourself wrote here: http://oldbelievers.wetpaint.com/thread/1013675/Vera+Strochilina/post/8307651/Vera+Strochilina. What evidence do we have that he even existed (besides your word of course)?
Thank you for the information. This was most helpful.
^ Hey, maybe you could take up listening to classical music.
I second this. Devin, classical music is a world, a beautiful world... Maybe if you just listen patiently to Chopin's Polonaise Op. 53 in A flat major (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZGi49Bnghs), just once, you will be "hooked" to it and you won't need any "gangsta" stuff for the rest of your life?
^^LOL - I love classical music, and Chopin is one of my favourite composers, but I still have my moments with Iron Maiden ( amongst others! )
You mean Georges Sand?
You are most welcome. I am sorry if I "side-tracked" this discussion. I knew nothing about Ioasaph I, so I became curious and, knowing Russian, quickly found this information.
Closer to the topic, I think this is an illustration of how good intentions of good people sometimes lead to unpredicted consequences. I have a feeling that Ioasaph had nothing against good music, musical instruments, etc. - he just desperately tried to return some order and dignity to church services. Also, I can imagine that the people of Muscovy, having heard this weird simultaneous chanting of several choirs, started to give up on church singing, and sought their aesthetic fulfilment in secular music. Maybe that was another reason for Ioasaph's austere move against musical instruments.
All who would be like Christ are called to be ascetic, to practice virtue and to practice dispassion.In a list of passions to be avoiding, we read in vol. 3 of the Philokalia, pg 206, "fluteplaying" along with many other similar passions, such as "...laughter, jokes, immodest dancing, clapping, improper songs..."From the Domostroi (Rules for Russian Households) trans. by Pouncy, on pg 181, about women's responsibilities it reads: "She should not allow any Devil-inspired songs...or foul mouthed messages"More references and documentation to arrive later.
More references and documentation to arrive later.
Mr. Alden, just a question:Why are you so intent on all of us living our lives in the way you feel we should? Does it make you uncomfortable that we choose to laugh, use the Internet, and play chess? There are Saints who were polygamists; can God not save a chess-playing person as well?Life according to the religion you describe would be a life anaesthetised. If this is Christianity, I want out now.
Yes! It sounds like the old Methodist Blue Laws (some of which still survived in the Nazarene Church until the last couple of decades), or the Amish restrictions, or the old-fashioned restrictions we read about in books: no acting, no laughing on Sunday, no playing on Sunday, etc. It sounds like a very dour way of life. I still wish I'd been allowed to go to dances like "normal" kids when I was a teenager.
Life according to the religion you describe would be a life anaesthetised. If this is Christianity, I want out now.
...along with many other similar passions, such as "...laughter, jokes..."
I want no part of YOUR Orthodoxy. Celtic paganism is more Godly than this.
Yes, it's hard to imagine that the Celts would have so readily converted had they been presented with such a lifeless Chrsitianity. When I was an inquirer, a young Orthodox fanatic told me that we shouldn't laugh; that Christ never sinned by laughing. I laughed!
Spare us.
I asked my spiritual father this question years ago and he said not to listen to secular music.Music has a way of penetrating the soul. I don't know about you, but when I listen to musical lyrics the words tend to go around and around in my mind. This can more of a negative impact on your life than you might think since the feelings and emotions that modern music often focuses on is not exactly uplifting stuff.On the other hand the more you listen to liturgical music and chanting, you will have God pleasing words going through your mind throughout your day, even when you aren't focusing on praying. I know it's hard to separate from the world around us, but it's ultimately what we are called upon to do as Orthodox Christians. Giving up secular (and often spiritually harmful) music its just another choice we have, and one more opportunity to become closer to God. It's probably unrealistic to drop everything at once. Try to weed out the most overtly offensive things first and then work your way down from there. Eventually with God's help you'll have detached yourself from all those unnecessary and worldly things.

A Scottish textile company has developed a range of luxury headscarves designed to help cancer patients cope with the debilitating effects of chemotherapy. More than a way to conceal hair loss, Murray Hogarth's "Asha" range features "micro-encapsulated" fabrics said to confer therapeutic benefits such as aromatherapy, ultraviolet protection, and thermoregulation. Created in tandem with Edinburgh's Heriot-Watt University's School of Textiles and Design, the silk turbans come in several finishes to suit different needs. The aromatherapy finish, for instance, incorporates tiny hard-shell capsules filled with scented oils such as aloe vera or lavender. Wearing the garment creates friction, which pops the capsules and releases a subtle fragrance.
A wax finish, on the other hand, melts to absorb heat in high temperatures. The reverse happens when the mercury drops: the material resolidifies, sending out warmth instead. Other finishes deliver vitamins and moisturizers, any of which can be customized to fulfill specific requirements.
Finishes can provide therapeutic benefits such as aromatherapy, UV protection, and thermoregulation.
Finishes can provide therapeutic benefits such as aromatherapy, UV protection, and thermoregulation.
"Smart textiles are a fast-developing sector that offers enormous potential within the healthcare industry," says Alison Harley, head of Heriot-Watt University's School of Textiles and Design. "This collaboration showcases our close work with industry, including many small and medium size textile businesses in Scotland, to help them find ways to add value and grow their business.
Another way Asha supports people with cancer? Murray Hogarth donates 10 percent of all headwear sales to Maggie's Cancer Caring Centres, aetwork of drop-in centers in Great Britain that aim to help anyone who has been affected by cancer.

There are a number of options for getting your hands dirty with the new Windows 8. Naeem has a great setup script for dual-booting, but I decided to try setting up a virtual machine. I have a number of choices for the hypervisor:
To set up the VM in Virtual Box, click the New button from the toolbar. In the wizard, choose a name for your VM and then choose WinXP x64 as the OS:
On the next screen, make sure you give the VM more RAM than the miserable default of 192MB:
Then you need to setup the details for a new virtual hard disk:
The rest of the screens in wizard are pretty straightforward. Once you have your VM setup, you need to connect it to the downloaded Windows 8 ISO. You do this by opening the settings screen for the VM and clicking the CD icon (took me a while to work this step out):
Then on the popup menu, click "Choose a virtual CD/DVD file" and browse to the ISO image for the Windows 8 developer preview.
Now you are good to go! Start your virtual machine and it will launch you straight into the Windows 8 installation process. Hurray!
To be honest, it's not the best experience out there. Simple things like moving the mouse around are noticeably laggy … it's unlikely to be my laptop since I'm on a Core i7 machine with 8GB RAM. Also, Windows 8 does not seem to get correctly informed of the screen resolution. This results in the reserved 1 pixel strip being impossible to hit. Boo!
These performances issues do not occur if you boot the OS on the machine directly, so I'm pretty sure it's a consequence of the virtualisation.
Having said this, it's better than nothing. If dual boot or a dedicated machine are not options for you, then a VM will allow you to have a sandpit for playing with some of the new tech from Microsoft. Enjoy!

A 'pickle-back'
Looking for somewhere to eat? I've eaten stuff in a few places and if you want to see if I found anywhere good (I normally have a good nose for this kinda thing).
This website contains thoughts on food and restaurants from me, Ross Bruniges.
I've been going out to restaurants in London and further afield (I generally like to holiday in places where I know I can get a good meal) for about 5 years and reckon I've had a few decent ones in that time so thought I'd start writing about them a bit more.
I go to places with a good rep or an interesting menu about once a month and take photos where allowed.
I hope you leave here feeling hungry!
As mentioned I will always try and take pictures wherever I go; to see what else I've got check out all my other foody pictures.

Cheryl Paulsen Coaching
My passion is helping people live a more balanced, fulfilling, and authentic life by helping them find their passions and pursue their career goals. I have started my own coaching practice because I feel that so many people are not following their dreams whether it is in life or work because we have been on a particular path and cannot seem to find a way to change it. My business name is Cheryl Paulsen Coaching. I am the only employee and want to convey a professional, successful business, yet come across as warm and inviting. I am coming from 15 years in the Navy and in medical device sales. Since I am just starting my own coaching business, for marketing purposes I have chosen to target military personnel since I was in the Navy and felt that there was nothing but headhunters there to greet me when I got out.
I support military service members and spouses in their transition from the service to Corporate America through weekly coaching sessions on the phone. I provide a confidential and supportive environment to discuss their current problems and goals to get them where they want to be. My clients will be between the ages of 25-42 and will find me on facebook, twitter, or linkedIn. My clients are coming from a very structured environment and I need to appeal to that audience.
Even though I am targeting military personnel I can coach anyone who is interested in changing careers or in transition so I want my logo to be more timeless rather than have a military look. I've uploaded a picture and document to show some information that will be included on my website. I'm interested in your creative ideas because I don't want to get hung up on my limitations. Thank you for your help.

Italian Plums in Syrup
Remember that I got plums as a gift?
I always get really excited when I see Italian plums for the first time of the season at outdoor markets. They are in a very close battle for my favorite with the Pluot plum (a bit harder to find here)
I wanted to do something different.
I normally would have snacked on these at my desk at work. Hunched over my computer. Stressing out and rewarding myself with food.
But no, they were worthy of more.
Can you believe the gorgeous color of this syrup?
These plums, when ripe, are a dark blue color. The syrup was a beautiful red/magenta.
We ate them as dessert. Watching a TEDtalk about empathy.
Thank you Shari.
Italian Plums in Syrup
2 handful of Italian Plums, pits removed, skin on (they will become very soft)
2 cups of wine (we had leftover Gewürtraminer, thank you Anne!)
1/3 cup sugar
1 vanilla bean, split
1 thin slice of fresh ginger
1 long piece of lemon rind, white pith removed (that white part is bitter!)
Gather all ingredients in a small saucepan and simmer for 45 minutes. Cool, enjoy on its own or with desserts, ice cream.

|Jerry Garcia and Bonnie Raitt onstage at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley, on August 30, 1987 (photo from The Jerry Site)
Most Jerry Garcia Band shows for BGP were at The Warfield, where the casual environment and open bar could make the refurbished theater seem like a larger, cleaner version of the Keystones. However, Graham had the promotional heft to present the Garcia Band in regular concert settings as well. From 1987 through 1990, BGP presented the Jerry Garcia Band in a number of outdoor summer concerts in the Bay Area and Northern California. While the shows were complete sellouts, as far as I know, compared to the high profile events of Grateful Dead concert runs in the same venues, the Garcia Band summer shows seemed like a relaxed reminder of how the Grateful Dead used to be--just fun in the sun and no one onstage or off looking at the clock.
In the 1980s, the best Grateful Dead shows to see were the runs of shows at UC Berkeley's Greek Theater and Frost Amphitheater at Stanford. Since I lived in the East Bay then, that was particularly true for me. The Grateful Dead outgrew both venues, and the respective Universities became increasingly unhappy with the giant crowds that congregated outside the venues. However, when the Jerry Garcia Band played the Greek Theater, it was less of a destination and more of an afternoon, and way more fun for tired old me. One unique aspect of the Greek Theater shows featuring the Jerry Garcia Band from 1987 through 1990 was that they all featured opening acts, all approved if not hand-picked by Garcia himself.
East Coast shows in the late 1970s and early 1980s had featured opening acts. However, other than the Spring 1978 tour with Robert Hunter and Comfort on board, the openers were mostly acoustic solo acts. While some of those acts were good--I believe Peter Rowan and Rick Danko opened on occasion--they were just there to keep early arrivers entertained and sell some extra popcorn. The Greek Theater acts were different. These were performers you actually wanted to see, and Jerry wanted to see them also. We didn't imagine this--on three occasions, the opening performer actually came onstage to play with the Jerry Garcia Band, itself an all but unprecedented event before or since.
This post will consider the history and context of the opening acts at the Greek Theater shows from 1987 through 1990. While Garcia played some similar shows during this period, at Eel River and Squaw Valley, they did not include opening acts, so I have left them aside from this discussion. As a coda, I comment on the curious Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band show at Frost Amphitheater in 1988.
August 30, 1987: Greek Theater, UC Berkeley, Berkeley, CA: Jerry Garcia Band/Bonnie Raitt
The Keystone Berkeley had closed in 1984, and the Keystone Palo Alto in 1986. The Stone in San Francisco would remain open for a few more years under Herrera ownership, but Garcia had simply outgrown the venue, and his last show there was May 31, 1987. The migration by Garcia to the BGP empire can now be seen as significant, but at the time it just seemed practical. On Halloween 1986, the Jerry Garcia Band and Kingfish with Bob Weir had played the Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center, the first JGB concert in Keystone territory (San Francisco, Alameda County or Palo Alto) in a while. Now, of course, we can see it as the shape of things to come.
The Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band had played a benefit at the Fillmore on March 18, 1987. According to legend, this led to the conversation between Graham and Garcia where Jerry told Bill "take us to Broadway", and The Jerry Garcia Band ended up playing two weeks at the Lunt-Fontanne Theater in October 1987. The Garcia Band debuted at The Warfield in November of that year, and from then on all Bay Area Garcia shows were BGP events. In August of 1987, the Jerry Garcia Band headlined the Greek Theater at UC Berkeley. Now, we can see it as part of a pattern of Bill Graham taking over the promotion of Garcia Band California shows. At the time, however, it just seemed like a welcome and cool event, and it certainly was that.
The Grateful Dead had been playing a three day weekend run at the Greek Theater since 1981, and the shows were one of the highlights of the Grateful Dead year. The Greek Theater and Frost Amphitheater are the two best venues in the Bay Area of any appreciable size, and by the late 1980s people would come from all over the country and the world for the Greek shows. Tickets were impossible, and the crowds outside the Greek were so large, that they would broadcast the shows on the local radio (KPFA-fm) in order to discourage people from coming to the venue. The Dead had played June 19-21, 1987 to the usual rapturous reception, but by that time I had given up on the whole ruckus and passed on going. Like many people, when I found out that there would be a single Garcia Band show, without all the out-of-towners, it seemed like an early Christmas gift.
Intriguingly, the 1987 Greek Theater show was going to be opened by Bonnie Raitt. I had many of her albums and had always wanted to see her, and here she was opening a show I was going to see anyway. It's interesting to consider the implications of Bonnie Raitt sharing the bill with Jerry Garcia. In Summer 1987, the 7500-capacity Greek Theater was a big step up for Garcia in the Bay Area. In the Bay Area, the Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia had played so regularly, that there was no excitement associated with a JGB concert. I don't think that Bonnie Raitt's presence was necessarily selling more tickets to a Garcia show, per se, but her presence made a lot of people think "I should go to this Garcia show, even if I just saw the Dead or Jerry earlier this year." It worked, as the show was sold out as far as I know, and we were blessed with beautiful Sunday afternoon weather as well.
By 1987, Bonnie Raitt was in a down cycle in her career. She had been dropped by Warner Brothers Records a few years earlier, for whom she had been recording since 1971. Bonnie had sold some albums, had a following and got played on FM radio, but she hadn't crossed over into the promised land like Stevie Nicks, so Warners had simply dropped her. Without label support, Bonnie was making her money by touring, but she was only traveling with her bass player Johnnie Schell instead of with an entire band. Although one rarely associates Bonnie Raitt with the Grateful Dead, here she was in a comparable economic position to where the Dead had been on many occasions, with just touring revenues keeping them going.
Whatever her professional travails, Bonnie was absolutely terrific onstage at the Greek. Befitting her status, she played a full set of over an hour. Although she was just playing with a bass player (Schell), Bonnie's singing and smoking electric slide guitar filled up the pseudo-classical bowl very well. The crowd was extremely enthusiastic as Bonnie played many of her best known songs and a variety of other tunes. Of course, she was an experienced performer. At one point, Bonnie pointed at her yellow and purple clothes, striking in counterpoint to her truly spectacular red hair, and engagingly asked "hey, do you like my outfit?" The crowd roared its approval, and she drily commented "I heard you guys liked looking at different colors." We all ate it up.
The Jerry Garcia Band eventually came on and played a relaxed but excellent first set. After the requisite break, Jerry and the band returned with Bonnie, still resplendent in yellow and purple. There was a fair amount of knowledge circulating about the Garcia Band by this time, and the fact was that guests with the JGB were quite rare. The few guest appearances with the JGB that were known generally involved well-connected compadres like Bob Weir or Lee Oskar. The JGB wasn't designed as a jamming vehicle like the Garcia/Saunders band. Yet here was Garcia's opening act, not socially connected to Garcia at all, plugging in onstage. The Greek Theater show had now gone from a fun show to an actual event.
Jerry and Bonnie opened with a powerful version of Jimmy McCracklin's "Think" ("What would we do later on/Just in case we both were wrong"). It was a cool, obscure song, relatively, perfect for Bonnie but absolutely hip. Bonnie sang along on the choruses and played some nice slide counterpoint to Jerry's lead. This wasn't token. Even if they hadn't rehearsed--I'd be stunned if they actually had--they had at least discussed what to play and come up with something cool. Bonnie and Jerry followed with a version of Bob Dylan's "Knocking On Heaven's Door," certainly a classic, but not a song whose arrangement I liked, since even I found the tempo just too slow. Still, it was a good choice for Bonnie and Jerry to sing and trade licks, and both of them were clearly enjoying themselves. Bonnie left the stage after that, but it really made the concert special, setting it apart from all those nights at the Keystone Berkeley.
July 10, 1988: Greek Theater, UC Berkeley, Berkeley, CA: Jerry Garcia Band/Bob Weir/Brent Mydland
The Jerry Garcia Band returned to the Greek Theatre the next year. This year the opening acts would be solo performances by Bob Weir and Brent Mydland. This wasn't totally unprecedented, as Bob and Brent had played solo sets prior to a Garcia and Kahn set at a benefit in Marin earlier in the year (April 26 '88). I was aware that Bob Weir had at in with the Garcia Band a number of times--probably, in retrospect, more than any other musician--so it seemed likely that he would do so at the Greek. To me, it was more interesting to see whether Brent would join the JGB on keyboards for any songs.
On a personal level, I was happy to be seeing Bob and Brent solo. The truth was, it was unlikely I would ever make the effort to see either of them perform solo, even in a smaller place. Since I was looking forward to seeing the Garcia Band at the Greek anyway, however, it was a chance to check out the other two on their own. In retrospect, Brent's performance was the most interesting, since solo performances by him were so rare. He performed 8 songs on the electric piano. Per my notes, they were
Far From MeBrent was talented, and the songs were fine ("Musician" was from the Silver album). However, what struck me was how, despite his skills, Brent just wasn't a solo performer. Brent was self-effacing on stage, and he needed a band or at least a partner. I enjoyed his set, but he was no Bruce Hornsby.
I Will Take You Home
Maybe You Know
Gentlemen, Start Your Engines
(song unknown to me)
Devil With The Blue Dress>
Good Golly Miss Molly
After Brent's half-hour set ended, Bob Weir walked on stage with his acoustic guitar. I can't recall if Brent had left the stage, or if Weir simply walked on. In any case, Brent sang "Hey Jude," accompanied by Weir. It was a nice coda to Brent's set. Afterwards, Brent walked off to restrained but sincere applause. Weir continued his set, and played eight more songs. Weir had distinctly more stage presence than Brent, something that was very noticeable for a solo performer in the fairly large Greek, At the end of Weir's set, Brent returned to harmonize on The Beatles "Blackbird." All told, Weir and Brent's set had taken up about an hour.
The Jerry Garcia Band came on later and played two fine, relaxed sets, another fine memory of a great show that I saw at the Greek Theater. Much to my surprise, however, Weir never came onstage to join Garcia, much less Brent. For all I know, Weir and Brent were home watching television by the time Garcia's set ended.
|Jimmy Cliff singing 'The Harder They Come" onstage with the Jerry Garcia Band at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley on August 26, 1989 (photo from The Jerry Site)
Come the next year at the Greek, the open question for me was which year had been the anomaly. Garcia had invited Bonnie Raitt on stage, but Bob Weir hadn't made an appearance the next year. What would happen with Jimmy Cliff opening for him?
Jimmy Cliff And The Oneness Band played a pretty good and enthusiastically well received, opening set. The tip-off for me, however, and anyone else who was paying attention, was that amidst all the numerous hits that Cliff performed, he didn't play "The Harder They Come." He did a bunch of others: "You Can Get It If You Really Want," "Rivers Of Babylon," "Many Rivers To Cross," "Wonderful World, Beautiful People" and "Johnny Too Bad" were the ones I recognized in my notes. But when Cliff didn't do his best known song, we knew what was coming.
Indeed, after five songs in the first set, Cliff came out to huge applause. The Garcia Band launched into "Harder They Come" and Cliff stepped up and sang the hell out of it. Given how often Garcia had performed that song, I was very conscious, as many others must have been, of what an historic moment this was going to be. My general understanding was that Cliff and Garcia had met out on the road various times, but had never had a chance to perform together.
However, historic as Jimmy Cliff singing "The Harder They Come" with the Jerry Garcia Band may have been, I'm pretty sure Garcia and Cliff didn't rehearse it. Cliff flowed easily with the Garcia Band, as the band swirled around his vocals. Garcia started to build his solo, ably supported by Melvin Seals, John Kahn and David Kemper. As they got to the first pass through the chorus, Garcia was starting to find his groove, and I for one was ready for Jerry to climb the mountain and play a great solo in honor of the time that Jimmy Cliff sang his own song with him.
Unfortunately, no one seems to have mentioned to Jimmy Cliff that Garcia was going to solo through the chorus. So when the chorus came around, pro that he is, Cliff stepped up to the mike and did the "oh yeah, alright" part that sets up the next chorus. I swear I saw a frustrated flinch of Jerry's shoulders, but maybe I was projecting. Still, there was no question that Garcia was planning to solo through two choruses, and Cliff was either never told or missed a signal. Either way, it turned what could have been a truly classic moment into a merely historic one. Oh well--I was still glad I saw it. After the song, Cliff left the stage and Garcia made a rare comment: "I've always wanted to do that," a sign that it meant a lot to him as well.
August 5, 1990: Greek Theater, UC Berkeley, Berkeley, CA: Jerry Garcia Band/Bela Fleck and The Flecktones
The Grateful Dead's last performances at the Greek Theater had been in 1989. The band had simply become too large for the 7500-capacity venue. The parking situation was impossible on the best day there, and when the Grateful Dead played it was well beyond that. However, BGP managed to have one more Garcia show at the Greek, before he too sized out of the place.
When 1990's show rolled around, I just assumed that the opening act was picked for or by Jerry in order to provide an interesting guest star. Bela Fleck was a leading modern banjo player, comparable in some ways to David Grisman as a mandolinist. Fleck could play banjo in all the traditional styles, and he had been in the Grisman Quintet as well. He specialized in putting the banjo in new and imaginative settings. Fleck was one of those players that I had heard about, but had hardly heard.
Bela Fleck and the Flecktones were a four-piece band. Besides Fleck on banjo, the band featured Howard Levy on electric piano and harmonica, Victor Wooten on bass and "Futureman" (so he was called) on percussion. Futureman had a body suit with percussion synthesizers somehow embedded in it. He played hand drums on himself, literally, and it sounded alternately like traps and various other percussion instruments. All of the musicians seemed to be the type of well-trained pros who could play in any key or time signature.
Unfortunately, while the Flecktones were conceived as a unique amalgamation of influences, they were boring. There was nothing wrong with the all-instrumental music they were playing, which sounded like jazz played on very non-standard instruments, but they just weren't interesting. They sounded like one of those music student bands that was all cleverness and nothing listenable. Every member of the group, particularly Fleck, could really play, but I found myself staring out at the bay rather than listening. Fleck's weakness wasn't his banjo playing; he was great, playing in a unique style that separated him from almost any banjo player who had preceded him. His weakness was as a bandleader. The group didn't have good tunes, jazz or not, and they couldn't keep my interest. They were well received, more or less, but it seemed more pleasant than enthusiastic.
Fleck's guest turn with the Garcia Band was really revealing. It is often forgotten that Garcia was a great bandleader. Even if he rarely articulated his musical vision, even to his own band members, Garcia had a clear concept of what he was trying to accomplish on stage. Once Garcia was the bandleader, then Fleck's talents were in play. Garcia invited Fleck out for "The Harder They Come," which struck me as possibly the worst choice for an amplified banjo solo. Was I wrong--I guess that's why it was Jerry's band.
Faced with the strange challenge of playing banjo on an uptempo reggae song, Fleck had to use all his skills, and he had a lot of them. While Melvin Seals organ swirled along and Jerry comped the rhythm, Fleck emphasized the rhythmic power of the banjo, playing a weird off-beat counterpoint to the usual rolling rhythm that Kemper and Kahn were laying down. I'd say it was the best electric banjo solo on an uptempo reggae song ever, but it was also probably the only one. In any case, it was great. When Jerry was leading the band, Bela was really special, which told me a lot about both of them. There was a lot more to the Jerry Garcia Band than the by now introspective Garcia usually acknowledged. The late 80s Greek Theatre shows were a rare insight into how Garcia saw his own music, and what interested him about performing.
Appendix: Frost Amphitheater
July 9, 1988: Frost Amphitheater, Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA: Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band/Hot Tuna
Looking backwards, with the benefit of hindsight, since Bill Graham Presents was booking a Garcia Band show at the Greek Theater each Summer, it would have seemed logical to have a Frost Amphitheater show paired with it, to make a weekend out of it. However, this only happened once, in 1988. The Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band played Frost Amphitheater on a Saturday afternoon (July 9), and the JGB proper played the Greek Theater on Sunday afternoon (July 10). Since "Acoustic Hot Tuna" opened the Frost show, it fits the context of this post. The Frost show was the only other outdoor Summer BGP Garcia Band show that had an outside opening act, so it's worthy of note.
Everybody forgets about the 1988 JGAB Frost show. I certainly forgot about it. At the time, I would only have been able to manage one show in a weekend, so I chose the electric show nearer my house. I had seen the JGAB the year before, and while I enjoyed them, I didn't have a big urgency to see them so soon. Little did we know that it was the last Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band show. The JGAB had stopped performing at the end of 1987, with shows in San Francisco (The Warfield) and Los Angeles (The Wiltern). However, they played one last show at Frost, which has largely been ignored (the Jerry Site lists the show, but doesn't mention that it was the last JGAB show). The JGAB played as the original quartet (Garcia/Nelson/Rothman/Kahn), just as they had begun at the Fillmore 16 months earlier. Kemper was presumably not in town yet, and Kenny Kosek would not have been flown in for a one-off.
Much as I and everybody would have liked to see Garcia play with Jack and Jorma in an acoustic setting, it didn't happen. In fact, I'm fairly certain it never happened, ever. Garcia, Casady and Jorma had played together many times up through about 1970, but always in an electric context, as far as I know. Thus, we'll never know whose arrangement of "I Know You Rider" they would have done. Garcia had shared a booking with Jack and Jorma many times, and as recently as April 26, 1988 in Marin, but they never sat in together. I honestly think the reason for the absence of a sit-in was the lack of novelty. By 1988, Garcia only seemed interested in playing with people with whom he had never had the opportunity, but he had jammed with Hot Tuna many times back in the day, so he probably felt no real imperative. More's the pity.
As to the odd booking of the JGAB at Frost, eight months after the band was seemingly put to bed, I think that had to do with Stanford University. Both Frost and the Greek were very desirable outdoor venues, and very hard to use due to their University affiliations. I know for a fact, for example, that UC Berkeley only allowed rock concerts at the Greek on weekends that were not finals week, Summer School included. Parking was crowded up there on a normal day, and rock concerts, particularly Grateful Dead concerts, magnified the difficulty enormously. However, despite the restrictions, UC Berkeley was ultimately a state institution, and within certain parameters had a formal obligation to allow its facilities to be used, so BGP could wedge the shows into the venue. The Dead only left the venue when not only had complaints magnified 100-fold, but the return for playing Shoreline Amphitheater was infinitely higher, so it was easier to just depart for Mountain View.
Stanford University was a private school, however, and a wealthy one at that. Although Stanford liked to claim that concerts at Frost, particularly Dead concerts, were "a hassle," that is an exaggeration. Nobody lived anywhere near Frost Amphitheater, and there was plenty of parking, in complete contrast to the Greek. Stanford had consistently resisted concerts at Frost Amphitheater since the advent of rock music, and only allowed them grudgingly. By 1988, Stanford was very unhappy with the annual Grateful Dead weekend. I have a suspicion that Graham managed to persuade Stanford to agree to a Garcia concert in 1988, but Stanford got cold feet. I think an acoustic Garcia show was a compromise, but all parties seemed to have backed away from it by the next year. In any case, the Dead's run of Frost shows ended in 1989 as well, so there was no point in a futile struggle. Stanford has generally minimized rock concerts at Frost ever since.

Gandhi: a life
John Wiley, 1997 - Biography & Autobiography - 546 pages
"It is imperative that Gandhi is reclaimed as a human being out of the many myths surrounding him. He had his failings and favorites, but to suppress these weaknesses would be to undermine his strengths." —Yogesh Chadha
In the first major biography of Mohandas K. Gandhi in over twenty years, Yogesh Chadha creates a complex, compelling, and beautifully rounded portrait of one of the monumental figures of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This definitive new work is the culmination of eight years of writing and research, during which Chadha had complete access to Gandhi's voluminous writings and government papers only recently made available
Gandhi: A Life rescues the man from the myth. It reveals the transformation of an ordinary, timid young man into a leader whose stand against a mighty empire brought millions together. From the poor and the illiterate to the intelligentsia and the rich, Gandhi's followers forged a sustained, nonviolent movement for independence
When Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born in 1869, India was divided. British India, ruled by the Viceroy from Delhi, stood in stark contrast to the other India, a checkerboard of hundreds of princely states, royal instruments without political power. It was in one of these states, Porbandar, that Gandhi came of age, the youngest of three sons and a daughter of the dewan (prime minister) and his fourth wife. From his father, Gandhi inherited stubbornness, incorruptibility, and great practical sense; from his mother, a life of religion, devotion, and asceticism
Shortly before his nineteenth birthday, Gandhi—by then a husband and father of several years—set sail from Bombay to England to study law; shortly thereafter, he traveled to South Africa to practice. An outsider, the young barrister tasted firsthand the bitter fruits of class prejudice, racial intolerance, and colonial oppression. At the same time, his pursuit of spiritual fulfillment and a keen curiosity about the world's diverse religions nourished Gandhi's own deeply felt convictions, pointing him toward the path along which he would guide India to independence
In a work of far-reaching scope and revealing intimacy, Yogesh Chadha never loses sight of the man amidst the epic swirl of history. As he explores the key events in Gandhi's intellectual, spiritual, and political development, Chadha writes with total frankness, never shying away from the weaknesses and the more controversial aspects of both Gandhi's public and personal lives, including struggles with sexuality and celibacy. In addition, he exposes in depth for the first time the extraordinary events surrounding Gandhi's assassination, its planning and execution, and the subsequent trial
Here is a magnificent biography that approaches its legendary subject with honesty and admiration—and without preconceptions. Gandhi: A Life is a brilliantly constructed and inspiring work
"The first major biography to appear for twenty years . . . [with] a depth and authority which others have lacked."—The Independent (London)
"A compelling portrait . . . reveals that saints can be hell to live with."—The Mail on Sunday (London)
"[Yogesh Chadha] presents, in a sober and lucid fashion, the whole man, warts and all. The result is an impressive tour de force, a portrait infinitely more complex and contradictory than any before . . . outstanding." —The Scotsman
"An outstanding reappraisal of an extraordinary man." —Irish Independen

This document outlines the conditions, requirements, and considerations for processing modification requests in W3C Mailing Lists Archives. See below for information about:
The effectiveness with which the W3C attains its objectives centers on a trust between W3C and its many audiences. Participants in W3C activities, and subscribers to its lists, where much of the day-to-day discussion of technical, operational, and communications issues occurs, rely on the mailing lists and archives maintained by the W3C to be persistently accessible repositories of e-mail communications regarding the various activities and operations of the W3C and its contributors. Accordingly, it is paramount that the archives are maintained at a consistent level of integrity: they should rarely be edited.
On the rare occasions that need arises to edit information contained in archived messages, careful examination will be given to the particular circumstances of the request, in order to ensure a fair and balanced disposition.
The need for editing or excising material contained in an archived message is addressed only when the sender of the archived message requests it. Carefully documented exceptions may be considered.
While W3C has implemented methods to protect e-mail addressess in W3C-hosted list archives, it is the sole responsibility of each user of the archives to exercise care in the disposition of privacy information. A request for an archival edit is not a remedy for indiscriminate handling of personal privacy information. Neither is the editing of the archives an appropriate solution for decreasing one's exposure to Unsolicted Bulk E-mail, or Spam, or removing traces of embarassing or inconvenient Public postings.
Accordingly, senders must carefully consider any disclosure of private information or confidential comments made by named correspondents in non-Public messages. Public disclosure of private information or confidential communications on a W3C forum will be rapidly crawled, cached, indexed, and recorded in many mirror sites, and result in high scoring in search engine returns.
Senders should include detailed justification that will give evaluating managers and Systems staff a clear sense of the urgency and needs of the requestor.
A request for an archival edit should include the following:
Timeliness is paramount for effectively countering any adverse circumstances resulting from posted material in W3C archives. Mail sent to a list is immediately distributed to all subscribers of the list. Therefore, requests should be submitted as soon as the need for the action is identified.
It is the nature of the archives to house, and make available, the records of discussion in each of the individual fora. Any request for editing of the archives entails a change in these records, and is very carefully scrutinized. The W3C staff will seek to be fair, and will consider each case on its individual merits.
While the W3C is sensitive to the need for protecting personal information from exploitation by spammers, we cannot engage in the revision of the archives for the purpose of decreasing one's vulnerability to Spam or search engine exposure. Neither can we revise archival material for the purpose of updating personal contact information within posts: Archives are historical documents, not personal records. If a sender posts to a Public forum, it should be understood the information will be publicly available in perpetuity.
Archive edits will not be made for any of the following:
All requests will be examined by W3C managers and Systems
staff to ensure careful and efficient processing of each request.
The disposition of each request will be recorded in the team-only
The sender of the archived message should send a request to
This is a W3C Team-confidential list that is used to process and
record W3C staff actions, and the resolution of each request.

On August 23, 1927, two Italian-born American anarchists, Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were executed in Charlestown, Massachusetts for the murder of a shoe factory payroll agent and a security guard during the robbery of over $15,700 in payroll funds which the factory employees had been transporting. The multiple trials, convictions and executions of Sacco and Vanzetti comprised perhaps the first great political trial of the twentieth century in the United States. The Sacco and Vanzetti trial occurred in the context of nation-wide fears of anarchism, socialism and communism. As is suggested by this editorial, popular opinion about Sacco and Vanzetti was sharply divided. For some, they were martyrs. Sacco and Vanzetti had received an unfair trial by a corrupted judicial system. For many others, Sacco and Vanzetti represented hostile, alien, and violent political ideologies brought to the United States by those who immigrated here. This editorial, for example, has strong nativist tones reflecting a widespread fear of immigrants. Ninety years after their deaths, scholarly opinion is still divided as to whether Sacco and Vanzetti were guilty of the crimes for which they were charged, convicted and executed.
