Location, architecture, spa facilities, all the staff, cleanliness and comfort. City night views of illuminated buildings are amazing.
That is very good hotel. But this chain always offers good sleep quality, cleannes, nice restaurant
It was my first visit to USA, so was supprised, with additional +18% to mentioned price. That are US-taxes...
The staff were excellent. They couldn't do enough for us. We were celebrating our 27th wedding nniversary as well as my birthday and they certainally went that extra mile to ensure we had a fantastic time. Words cannot express how we feel and we will certainally be coming back for more!!
Staff courtesy and accommodation.
One elevator was smelling bad.
The shower in the room that I was checked into was having problems, so they upgraded my room to an even nicer room, with an even bigger bed, and even added a roll-in bed in there for me. The house-keeping was on point. Somehow they read my mind when I needed them in the middle of the day at took care of my room before I even requested it, while I was gone. Staff was excellent...I would live here.
I did not like the first room they put me in mainly because I expected two full size or two queen size beds, and not two twin sized beds. It's just not something i expected for this caliber of hotel and for the price I paid.
charged a $200/night deposit. this was not listed anywhere from booking.com or four seasons' confirmation emails. Did not allow me to order room service on the room unless I paid the deposit. The deposit per night was more than the daily rate of my room. Something was not right. The pool was okay and the location was too quiet.
Sunday brunch is best in Atlanta, not cheap but worth it; location in Midtown excelent; ideal for mature couples or business people, quiet, not crowded.
Best service I've ever had anywhere. Great facilities and rooms.
It is nicest hotel in region have stayed there on road trips for years resturant great
they used to have bellmen and do not anymore
Great service and friendly staff. Our room was quiet and comfortable.
Great staff, very helpful
Attention to detail. We were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary and somehow the staff found out and made a little treat of chocolate covered strawberries with a sweet message, sent to our room. SINCERE THANKS My husband was ill on our 2nd day and again the staff were very considerate and helpful. He has now recovered and we are now enjoying the rest of our stay in Hilton Head SC.
$6 dollars for a boiled egg!!!! Can't believe I had to get a taxi to the nearest pharmacy to collect a prescription for my sick husband.
Everything was to 5 star standard.
No coffee maker in the room.
We enjoyed the room, the restaurant, the workout facilities, the spa and the massages.
the food portions were small
The hospitality of staff. The detail they think for the kid and family. The location is perfect
The bed is too soft
We liked how everyone is nice and the cleanliness
Spa Facilities
Pre-Authorising credit card for lots of money without even informing you first.
Location was ideal for the visit to Museums and excellent restaurants.
The property needs an update
They made it a special night for my husband and me!!!
Breakfast had no prices and we ended up paying $8 for a side of bacon!
room, bed, bath products, ambiance. If I stayed longer my list would be longer as well.
price of parking lot adjacent to the hotel- but really not a big deal. $12 for the day, but not a full 24 hours. If you can afford the room, parking is the least of your worries.
Location is great
Double beds are really individual beds, small in width...
It was conviently located in Midtown close to restaurants, attractions and the expressway! It's a very grand hotel and the spa was awesome!
The glass enclosed showers are very, Very tight.

Imagine living in a rural farming community with rivers and streams flowing down the mountains and through the center of town. Imagine going to sleep with bats flying around your room and feeling lucky that they can't bump into you inside your mosquito net. Imagine waking up to the call of the ever-present chickens around your home and community. And imagine making abono orgánico by digging up soil and mixing it with gallinazo.
I lived in such a community as a CEC volunteer and loved it. When else in your life can you live in such a beautiful place where you are welcome in every home, and people offer you brindi on every visit?
However, I did have intestinal woes which lasted much of my service in that community. At times I would stay in bed in the fetal position hoping the abdominal pain would go away. At other times I would make strategic trips around the community, knowing which latrines were well taken care of when nature made its urgent call. I downed enough antiparasitics, antibiotics, dewormers, and steroids to evict whatever may have been living in me at the time.
I returned home in late May of 2010. I immediately started education classes and accepted a position teaching high school Biology. As a full-time student with a full-time job as a first year teacher, I was exhausted on a daily basis. Who wouldn't be? I still had a little cough I left Panama with, but overall I felt pretty good. I didn't even get the flu or a cold from the variety of pathogens the kids seemed to fill my room with on a daily basis.ng the abdominal pain would go away. At other times I would make strategic trips around the community, knowing which latrines were well taken care of when nature made its urgent call. I downed enough antiparasitics, antibiotics, dewormers, and steroids to evict whatever may have been living in me at the time.
I started out this school year with a sore throat that just wouldn't go away. I was seen by ten doctors and specialists who each mentioned they had never seen anything like it. Possible diagnoses included tuberculosis, parasitic infections, fungal infections, and even cancer. CT scans, bronchoscopy and laryngoscopy with cultures and biopsies, blood tests, and urine tests were all performed.
When several of the 35 tests came back positive, I was admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of disseminated histoplasmosis. With Google on my side, I learned about the disease. Histoplasma capsulatum is found in soils in river valleys. Bird and bat droppings enrich the growth medium for the fungus causing highly contaminated soil. Histoplasmosis is caused by the inhalation of Histoplasma capsulatum spores from contaminated soil. The spores become airborne through disturbing contaminated soil. Patients who develop clinical manifestations of histoplasmosis are usually immunocompromised.
It all made sense. My community seemed like a perfect place for the fungus to grow. My job description made my contact with the spores likely. And months and months of chronic diarrhea would have certainly compromised my immune system. Plus, the first described case of histoplasmosis was made in Panama.
The infectious disease doctor described the likely course of events. The middle and upper lobes of my right lung were infected with histoplasmosis during my service and just chilled there without my awareness. It ate away a ping-pong sized hole which with time walled-off from the rest of my lung. Eventually the fungi entered my bloodstream and settled in my throat. It was there that the fungi ate away at my epiglottis and surrounding structures, swelling them up like a balloon and causing the pain, trouble breathing, and swallowing problems that kick-started my search for a diagnosis.
With a diagnosis, treatment began. I was started on Amphotericin B infusions through a PICC line (think chemo) lasting four hours each day. My reactions to the medicine eased through a week in the hospital by pre-medicating with Tylenol, Benadryl, and morphine. After another week of outpatient transfusions, I began treatment with Sporonox, an antifungal medicine that I will be taking daily for at least the next year.
I learned a few lessons through the course of diagnosis and treatment:
Document everything! Many of the drugs prescribed during my service were recorded in their Panamanian names that doctors here could not decipher. Some papers in my medical records requested from the Peace Corps Post-Service Unit were missing and others belonged to other volunteers, including a positive pregnancy test with the name and social security number of another PCV. Also some medical complaints were lost in translation: an infected bug bite for which an antibiotic was prescribed was recorded as swollen due to a fall. Keep a medical journal.
You know your body better than anyone. The general practitioners insisted that I had a viral infection when antibiotics didn't work. So I started going to specialists and got the ball rolling. A radiologist kept me in isolation for an entire day thinking I had TB even though I didn't have any other symptoms of the infection. So as soon as I was let out, I went to an Urgent Care for a TB test which was negative. A nurse in the hospital failed to follow the infusion protocol for my drug. So a call to the duty nurse who rectified the problem. Don't be afraid to speak up.
Love your health insurance. I never thought health insurance was particularly important. I was young, healthy, and invincible. My employer paid my premium each month. I accidently signed up for the better plan this year and paid an additional $30/month out of my paycheck. Boy am I glad I did! The medical bills have added up to over $70,000 while the medication I now take costs about $1,000/month. My out-of-pocket has been about $5,000 so far. I would have been screwed without insurance.
Applying for FECA benefits is not scary. It seems like a daunting amount of paperwork to gather and months to wait when you feel like crud. My doctors were less than forthcoming with providing the required paperwork listed on the form (CA-2). After several requests, I finally sent in what I had and figured I would send any additional paperwork as requested. Just two weeks later, my case was accepted. Reimbursements were also not as difficult as listed on the Peace Corps website. FECA actually only requires one form (OWCP-915) and receipt to process a request instead of getting each provider to fill out a separate affidavit (OWCP-1500) and medical notes. Organize paperwork by provider, not date, to make things easier in the long run. And did I mention document and keep copies of everything?
I don't mean to scare you with any of this, just keep you informed. I certainly don't regret a minute of my service. I hope you stay healthy and enjoy your time in Panama!

TNA Impact did 1.25 million viewers last night, slightly down (5%) from last week. Between last week being a special show with the world title cage match, and much stronger NFL competition (3.95 million viewers this week as compared to 2.97 million last week), the number is as good as could have been expected.

A UNICORN?!?1 Reviews
"Dude, there was no plot, story or moral. It was shit!" Ray shook his head in disbelief that his friend would like such a movie.
"I kinda liked it." Evie was voicing her opinion; she was standing next to Frank, they had got quite close over the night and were huddling up to keep warm.
"I liked it too." Frank, like a faithful retriever agreed with Evie and winked at the rest of us when she high-fived him.
"All it contained was blood, boobs and shagging. How the hell could you like it?" Gee took one last sip of his slushy before chucking the cup in the bin.
"Well, it says a lot about you two doesn't it!" I pointed at Evie and Frank and giggled. The others got what I meant and joined in, Frank giving me the middle finger.
"Franklin Anthony Iero! That is no way to respond to a lady!" Bob put on a high pitched voice, resembling that of Franks mum and slapped him before running off towards Central Park, Frankie and Evie in tow.
The night was getting colder as we walked so I moved in closer to Gee; slowly warming up as he put his arm around me. That was when it struck me I had no idea where we were going. Soon enough we arrived at Central Park Zoo, it was their late night, meaning the Zoo was open until the early hours. Bob, Frank and Evie were all waiting for us, out of breath and laughing.
"I wanna see the penguins! They're the best" Mikey jumped up and down like a small kid, Gee slapped him round the back of the head.
"You dork! The Lions are the best!" Gerard said in a matter-of-fact tone.
"NO! THE ZEBRA!" Ray shouted in all of our faces before impersonating a Zebra, making us laugh.
Soon enough, we were in a mass debate about what animal was the best. This passed the time waiting in the very long queue and by the time we had paid and were through the entrance we still hadn't decided between Lions, Zebra, Penguins, Gazelles, Pandas or Cats.
We spent the evening walking round the zoo and going on all the play equipment, which was hard on my behalf, Gee helped me whenever he could; lifting me up to platforms and pushing me down slides. It was really fun. It had to be late now; the temperature had dropped even lower.
"OHMIGOSH!" Mikey screeched higher than any girl I had ever known could, causing the group to erupt into laughter.
"What? You utter weirdo!" Ray giggled
"A UNICORN!" Mikey pointed and ran up to an enclosure, all of us tagging behind him. Frank was the first to burst out laughing, followed by Evie then the rest of us.
"Mikey, that's a rhino!" Bob said in a confused voice.
"No, no, no! It's got a horn! It's a unicorn!" everyone burst out into laughter, Ray punched Mikey and Evie fell over laughing so hard.
The announcement came over the sound system that the zoo would be closing soon. We made our way back to the mini bus, I got shotgun again. Evie came back to Gee's with us, she was a really nice girl. She was also at our college but studying different courses.
Tonight was fun.

Wisconsin's smoke-free workplace law went into effect three years ago.
At the time, many bars and restaurants raised concerns that it would drive customers away.
But health advocates say just the opposite has happened.
"9 out of 10 people now say they go out to eat and for entertainment because they like the clean air, says Judy Burrows of the Marathon County Health Department.
The Wisconsin Restaurant Association reports a 6% sales increase for bars and restaurants since the law went into effect.
Some bars added outdoor smoking areas so their smoking customers would have shelter from the elements.
The Marathon County Health Department has a number of smoke-free initiatives it is working on promoting.

Talk about odd hauling. The team over at PickupTrucks.com put together a rather interesting comparision: 2011 Ram 3500 Heavy Duty diesel vs. Delta IV Heavy rocket. One is capable of crusing down the highway with a gross combined weight rating (vehicle, passengers and trailer) of 25,400 pounds. The other is easily capable of lifting that entire load into geosynchronous orbit 22,300 miles above our planet.
While the guys didn't send the truck into space, they did use the Ram at the launch site (Vandenberg AFB along the California coast) as a camera platform. Autoblog tagged along for a ride (in the Ram, not the rocket) and took a handful of pics at the successful launch.
Oh, the comparison? Long story short, the truck is quicker to 60 mph but the rocket has a much higher top speed. The truck has dual-zone air conditioning, while the rocket chills with supercooled liquid fuel (483,500 gallons all kept below -297 degrees Fahrenheit). And, of course, the truck offers Satellite Radio while the big rocket simply becomes a satellite.

Do you like to have your nipples suck on for a while?
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
Oh, yes, definitely. I absolutely love having my nipples sucked.
What Girls Said 7
yes it turns me on a lot!
of course it depends on whose nipples you're sucking...but I personally love it when a guy sucks or even gently bites mineit makes me wet almost instantly
yeah I love it - - - something about having ur man on your tit that just is so erotic, my boyfriend has this awesome ability to create suction in the most amazing way, no other guy has done it like that and then he'll flick the tip and focus on that and suck that for a while then the entire nipple while pressing my breast... F UU UUU CK it's hot just thinking about it! Hahahaha
hahaha the girl below me hit it right on the head...many time I've had that akward feeling because it actually gets sorta boring...i don't get that much pleasure out of it...but if the guy is fingering me at the same time its great!
it depends on the girl. but I actually don't get ne really pleasure from it..but that's probably just because the guy didn't know what he was doing. I guess if ur good with ur tongue then its probably good for girls it was actualy awkward for me because we were hooking up (just making out) and I was on top. and outta no where he just stopped making out with me and took off my shirt and bra and started sucking on my boobs. it was just awkward because I don't know my boobs were just chillen in his face hahah he probably liked it though. I just thought it was awkward because ididnt really feel anything and I was just looking at the wall lmaoo ok lemme just stop talking haha
Hahahahahah!!!! cracked me up right thurrr
- Show Older Hide Older
That sucks, he shouldn't ask and kept going.
Hahah I guess even tho I was scared as hell that someone else would come in

Concert review: Kasey Anderson and the Honkies (with Miles of Wire and the Dive Poets) cast a wide rock 'n' roll net at Off Broadway, Monday, July 30
Rock 'n' roll, in its many forms, remains the quintessential melting pot of music. Musicians from all different genres have given color to the various incarnations over the years. At the heart of the genre is still a blend of country and blues that gives rock 'n' roll its very soul.
At Off Broadway on Monday night and playing a rare performance, St. Louis-based quartet Miles of Wire took the stage about 8:15 p.m. for an enjoyable set of original material that was firmly rooted in alt-country, but grabbed undertones from indie rock.
Discussing the band with others around the room, I learned that Miles of Wire hasn't played out much in the past five or six years. After hearing the 30-minute set, I surmised that if the Replacements and the Minutemen colored the country of Uncle Tupelo, then Pavement and Superchunk meant the same to this group.
Next on the bill were the Dive Poets. Their 45-minute set showed why they are one of the most solid original bands working in the St. Louis scene. The sextet played an upbeat set of roots rock that meshed nicely between both bands.
The lead guitar work of Karl Eggers and the keys of Christian Schaeffer color the strong harmonies provided by rhythm guitarist Eric Sargent and Anna Drexelius, who also shines on viola, while bassist Jeff York and drummer Renato Durante hold down the bottom end. Their sound allows all those who like any form of rock 'n' roll to join in and dance or just tap a foot in time.
Kasey Anderson and the Honkies returned to St. Louis just over seven weeks after playing a solid opening performance for night three of Twangfest 16. In the interim period they have supported the Counting Crows — who recorded Anderson's "Like Teenage Gravity" for their new covers record "Underwater Sunshine" — on their summer tour.
Last night, instead of playing the opening slot, Anderson and the Honkies — Andrew McKeag on lead guitar, Mike Musburger on drums, Ty Bailie on keys and Will Moore on bass — were the headliner and seemed quite at ease with the slot. The band played a laid-back, easy-going set of both original and cover songs. Anderson talked and cracked wise a bit more than he did back in June.
Concert review: Girl in a Coma crashes into the Firebird with Tex-Mex rock 'n' soul in tow, Sunday, July 29
Where were all the ladies and lady lovers of St. Louis on Sunday night? Because they should have been at the Firebird rocking out to badass San Antonio trio Girl in a Coma.
The garagey outfit plays punk-tinged soul tunes for none other than badass Joan Jett's Blackhearts record label. Behind asymmetrical bangs and tattooed biceps were heartfelt songs of longing — or lust, according to lead vocalist/guitarist and all-around firecracker Nina Diaz. We learned some Spanish ("gracias" means "thank you"; "Ven Cerca," a gorgeous song about the aforementioned longing and lust, translates as "come close to me"). We danced. We worshipped at the altar of the power chord. We were treated to material from the girls' latest release, "Exits and All the Rest," and smaller helpings from "Both Before I'm Gone" ("Consider") and "Adventures in Coverland" ("Come On, Let's Go").
If you have ever wondered how much noise a triplet of barely-drinking-aged women can make with a short stack of amplifiers, the answer is: plenty. My eardrums are still humming from Jenn Alva's rockabilly-inflected bass lines and Nina's impressive pipes, which ricochet from a smoky croon to all-out, heart-shattering wails in a matter of seconds.
It was impossible not to engage in any one of the following during this show, including but not limited to: pogoing, fist pumping, over-the-head hand clapping, side-to-side swaying, head banging, generalized shimmying and shaking. Feedback from Nina's guitar had barely faded when her sister Phanie, holding steady on the drums, crashed into the next punk ballad, song after song. The rhythm and raw energy, coupled with Nina's unholy roar, conjured up memories of early, "Arkansas Heat"-era Gossip. By turns riot grrl and serenaded blues, Girl in a Coma is a band to see live, despite its no-frills stage presence.
It's no surprise that the the band has built up a loyal — some might say feverish — fan base during its several trips to St. Louis. After a tight 45-minute set (no encore? Really?), the bandmates hung around their merch table, graciously signing CDs and posing for photograph after photograph with what appeared to be every single person in attendance.
Clutching t-shirts and posters, fans stumbled out of the Firebird with punk rock flowing through their bloodstreams. Viva girls and guitars!
Concert review and set list: Fang Island (with Zechs Marquise and Florestan) sinks its teeth into Off Broadway, Sunday, July 29
Fang Island offered St. Louis a night of soaring, guitar riff-based tunes, with an exuberance and power-rock sensibility that made for a night of friendly fun.
Fang Island's set consisted mainly of tracks from the recently released "Major" with some old favorites thrown in. First, about "Major": It relies too much on prior tropes and tired pop sensibilities, rendering the sound less impressive than 2010′s self-titled debut. Fang Island achieved better results on its previous album with the same constituent parts: rattling drums, insane guitar riffs and catchy almost stadium chanting. Though bright, catchy and optimistic, "Major" feels slightly under thought.
But lack of invention on the record does not mean live failure. No, Fang Island's live show is one that impresses, and its St. Louis set at Off Broadway was no different.
Openers Florestan, from St. Louis, played sunny, West-Coast math rock that featured a tip of the hat to Minus the Bear with subdued bass elements complete with delayed guitars and syncopated drums. When the vocals arrived, they were dreamy, silken and a little under driven. I enjoyed the epic nature of "One Summer" and the Sunny Day Real Estate conjuring of "A Little More Time." I'm excited to see where Florestan goes with their introverted, chemical-haze sound.
Also residing on the Sargent House label, Zechs Marquise inhabits the same world as Fang Island. The band's sound consists of colorful, instrumental jam-outs and guitar-fueled head-rushes similar to Ratatat. "Getting Paid" was an grand number with a creepy organ effect applied to Marcel Rodriguez's synthesizer. Marcos Smith's studied guitar play suggested a stealthy action hero taking down crooks.
"Static Lovers" opened with a noise bed of guitar and synthesizer reminiscent of the score from a Kubrick movie and then deployed a manic jam with fuzzed guitar and starry organ elements. The band's sense of humor showed through on "Mega Slap," with fat, distorted bass moves and ironic synthesizer strings dabbled over top. The song evaporated into a jangly, wah-wah space ride with twinkly guitar stutter.
Fang Island opened with "Careful Crossers" from their 2010 self-titled debut. The song was a playful trip with a ringing guitar build and etherial synthesizer. The effect pulled in the scant audience. "Life Coach" suffered from a technical audio flub which flustered the small crowd and the band, but Fang Island stayed on track. "Seek It Out" featured heavy guitar punches and the positive, get-up-and-go lyric, "I want to seek out the angle. I better start now."
Album review: Matisyahu remains a true 'Spark Seeker'
"Spark Seeker"
Fallen Sparks Records
Reggae artist Matisyahu has made a name for himself through speaking on a platform of positivity and personal change. His uplifting message shines through on "Spark Seeker."
When he first caught mainstream attention in 2004 with the single "King Without a Crown" he wore a yarmulke and waxed poetic over reggae rhythms and his own beatboxing skills. Since then, Matisyahu has gone through some personal and musical rebirth. Where there was a yarmulke is short blond hair. And on "Spirit Seeker" he explores electronic music and mixes it with his lyrical storytelling and percussive vocal technique.
The album starts off with "Crossroads," a track that rings like an opening piece of a musical epic poem or a primer of some sort. Where before the tone of many of Matisyahu's songs was inspiring from beginning to end, "Crossroads" is a substantial song of determination and conviction. It picks up and carries the momentum that might fade out with the more lightly-optimistic tones of other tracks on "Spirit Seeker," such as "Sunshine."
The first few seconds sound like a low Hebrew warble that could be heard in the streets of Israel. Coupled with a sprinkling of traditional instrumentation and sounds, Matisyahu declares that "I've been searching for my bite/They say I inspire but I'm still looking for my fire." It's clear on "Crossroads" that though his music may be inspirational to listeners, Matisyahu works to also inspire himself through his songs.
Matisyahu cannot be pigeonholed, especially when it comes to "Tel Aviv'n." With a heavy hand on the synthesizers, Matisyahu's vocals merge with the electronic beats and melody as he sings "I'm feeling easy/The ocean brings me/Carrying me, I'm Tel Aviv'n/And now I'm seeing and I'm believing/Because these streets got melody in them."
The song has a distinctly groovy feel and carefree attitude; it's not hard to imagine "Tel Aviv'n" oozing out of the speakers in discotheques and clubs lining the streets referred to in the song. It's no coincidence that part of "Spark Seeker" was recorded in Israel, as well as Los Angeles. "Tel Aviv'n," especially, captures an urban-noir atmosphere.
For seasoned listeners that fancy Matisyahu's reggae music "I Believe in Love" is the quintessence of that sound on "Spark Seeker." Anchored by a slow, rocksteady beat, the softly-frazzled, bouncy guitar work and Matisyahu's echoed voice, "I Believe in Love" is a sweet slow space on "Spark Seeker" that allows listeners to take a break from the more heavy, electronic tracks.
"Spark Seeker" doesn't lack any opportunities for Matisyahu to show just how well he can make music, regardless of its genre. The album's production locales parallel some of the music influences, and while there are elements of Matisyahu's previous work, the album doesn't feel remotely recycled or repetitive as far as creativity goes. Rather, the album simply attests to Matisyahu's impressive ability to explore different musical landscapes.
Concert review: Exter vs. Kimock (with 3 Kings) leaves Pop's Blue Moon reeling, Friday, July 27
The night began with local act 3 Kings taking a trip through the land of funk and blues with a few surprise stops along the journey.
Although technically 3 Kings could be tagged as a cover band, there were no real note-for-note covers. Their set at Pop's Blue Moon was full of interpretations of the source material, easily recognizable but not soulless recreations.
The few songs that were mostly note-for-note still had some attention-grabbing, unexpected twists like the effect-laden bass solo during the Meters' classic "Cissy Strut" or the "that isn't Billy Gibbons but it fits" stripped-down guitar solo during their version of ZZ Top's "Cheap Sunglasses." I especially enjoyed their vocal harmonizing during "People Say" and a fantastic reworking of the Lennon/McCartney track "Don't Let Me Down."
About halfway through the set the guys snuck in part of an original piece that they have been working on. If that snippet shows the path they are taking, they'd better get some Speed Stick now because the real deal is going to be funkier than an armpit after gym class.
Shortly after 3 Kings departed the stage, Trevor Exter and John Kimock, also known as Read more
All Aboard for Fun Times: St. Louis show highlights for 7/27-7/29

I (finally) made my first visit to Plush this week. It's an attractive space, and very spacious, but the big capacity seems a bit misleading; I'd think that a lot of folks would have to be in spots with a diminished, if not non-existent, view of the stage for a show with more than 300 or so attending.

Concert review: Buckethead (with (it!)) shreds 2720 Cherokee on Thursday, July 26
The night at 2720 Cherokee began with local dance-rock duo (it!) who brought a dual drum groove machine to the stage, immediately busting into a song about themselves and their ability to move the masses' asses.
Consisting of Joel Kern on guitar, drums, and vocals and Andrew Bohler on drums and vocals, (it!) puts on a show that has to be seen to be believed. Imagine an alternate reality where Daft Punk used drums and guitars to create catchy dance tracks instead of synths and computers and you'll have a good idea of (it!) in action.
The duo's vocals matched the tunes well, with Bohler's screams channeling Black Francis at his highest intensity. They played for about 45 minutes straight, drums in lock step the entire time. Although I personally find dance music too repetitive, (it!) put on a damn good show and kept the crowd's energy high. If you like to shake your groove thing, this St. Louis band may be right up your alley.
After a few minutes of audio recorded from a game of Galaga, Buckethead hit the stage clad in black except for his KFC bucket helmet and white theatre mask covering his face. He proceeded to pick up his Les Paul and give a clinic on metal guitar virtuosity. Buckethead (aka Brian Patrick Carroll) is one of those guys who make shredding look as simple as can be, both wowing and pissing off the guitarists in the crowd at the same time. When he wasn't playing insanely fast solo runs or poking out blazing, two-handed tapping bits, he was blasting out some of the crunchiest guitar riffs this side of a bucket of extra crispy.
Between songs Buckethead was either trading gifts with his fans, showing off his sweet nunchuck skills, or doing the robot. At one point he was even doing the robot while playing, looking like a member of hell's version of the Rock-A-Fire Express. Musically the show was fantastic, with only a drum machine and Buckethead himself flailing away at the fretboard. It's not easy to play fast and flawlessly, but he makes it look like a walk in the park.
Solo heavy guitar music is one of those things that you have to really enjoy to get anything out of it, whether you appreciate it from a technical standpoint or not. Judging from the crowd's reaction during the show and after, Buckethead's fans were as appreciative of him as he was of them.
Album review: The Gaslight Anthem burns on with 'Handwritten'
The Gaslight Anthem
"Handwritten" is the Gaslight Anthem's first release with Mercury Records after leaving SideOneDummy last year. Recorded in Nashville, "Handwritten" is stylistically closer to "The '59 Sound" than its more recent, largely midtempo release "American Slang," and a few times derivative of their 2008 debut "Sink or Swim."
"Sink or Swim" and sometimes "The '59 Sound" tend to get called punk because they're speedy, guitar-driven songs filled with uncomplicated chord changes and the kind of punch that can hit you square in the gut. The thing is, the Gaslight Anthem has just as much ability to bypass the gut and go straight for the feelies, and this, at least to me, is more pop than punk, although I readily admit to deferring to the Supreme Court's method of definition: I can't define punk, but I know it when I hear it. With that said, the Gaslight Anthem is not punk. But then, at least in today's context, neither are the Ramones.
The Gaslight Anthem is an American rock 'n' roll band, one whose songs are true to form and country. It's a band equally comfortable as bombastic headliners and balladeers. It's also a songwriter's band, and Brian Fallon — lead vocalist, also guitar — writes as tribute to the essential components of the style.
Fallon knows well that place is evocative, and he writes with a strong sense of it. In addition to "Mullholland Drive" and "Biloxi Parish" on "Handwritten" are the career-long references to Fallon's home state of New Jersey, a place that exports primarily chemicals and musicians and informs the latter so well in terms of lyrics.
While we're on the subject, what is it about Jersey boys and their cars, that regional peculiarity that causes them to sexualize the lines, surfaces and anthropomorphic qualities of engines? It's a disposition the Gaslight Anthem shares in older songs like "Old White Lincoln" and "The Backseat" as well as "Here Comes My Man" on "Handwritten," and makes their albums so unplaceable as any other country's sons. There's such devotion there that it makes me wonder if these lyrics, Alex Rosamilia's guitar, and the solid, on-the-floor drums of Benny Horowitz are conscious Americana or just an unbridled case of Id.
Anyone raised on the worship of American rock 'n' roll can be forgiven the occasional ounce of cheese, which is why Fallon should be allowed to spread it on a little thick at times. This red-blooded pathos is heavy on songs like "Mae," wherein Fallon addresses a girl as "with your Bette Davis eyes and your mama's party dress" and describes himself as "with my faded jeans and faraway eyes." There's a difference between pandering and romanticism, though, and Fallon at least seems sincere. Even the most dreamboat lyrics and addictive choral hooks ("oh sha la la, oh sha la la / listen honey here comes my man" in "Here Comes My Man") are performed genuinely, and most importantly, the man can write the hell out of an earworm.
"Handwritten" doesn't quite escape being overwrought, though. "Keepsake" probably soothes some psychological wounds, and I'm probably a cynical bastard, but the attempt to come to terms with a mostly absentee father is out of place on this album. Likewise, "Too Much Blood" is a misstep, the churning bass riff and Fallon's gurgling vocals in the verses sounding less like the Gaslight Anthem and more like the Gaslight Anthem momentarily possessed by a hair metal band.
Full of anthems and sentiment, why "Handwritten" wasn't released on the 4th of July is beyond me, but at least the month is right, and if you're interested in doing yourself a Jersey-sized favor, you'll keep it on deck for an end-of-the-summer road trip.

STEVENS POINT, Wis. (WSAU) – A Missouri man is being sentenced today for giving a roommate some Xanax shortly before the man died at a Stevens Point motel in June.
Philip Burke is also accused of selling the prescription painkiller to other co-workers at the Blue Top Motel.
Burke found Gary Loar not breathing in the room they shared June 18th. Loar was later pronounced dead.
Court documents allege a co-defendant, Heather Reuterskiold, gave Loar one of her methadone pills to calm an upset stomach the night before he died.
Reuterskiold is due in court for a pre-trial hearing next week.

A community rocked by tragedy too many times in recent years came together Tuesday night to break the silence. They were talking suicide and suicide prevention at Camanche High School.
It was all about saving lives.
The big message was clear: Help is out there.
And this event was all about bringing the community together to make sure people get the help they need.
Organizers say it is just as important here as anywhere to have this opportunity. Camanche, population around 4,000, has seen 11 people die by suicide in the last ten years alone. Many of them were teenagers.
A few dozen people turned up for the presentation at Camanche High School Tuesday to learn about the mental health resources available in the area.
They also heard from people who have lost loved ones to suicide, including the co-founders of the Quad Cities chapter of the Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention Program.
Yellow Ribbon is a national organization that promotes education and discussion about suicide and suicide prevention.
That goal is loftier than you may think.
There is a stigma surrounding suicide, depression, and other mental health issues. That often prevents people from seeking help they need.
Silence is not a solution.
"That's something you just don't talk about here. And with us getting word out, we are seeing that more and more that kids are starting to talk, they're starting to be open, they come to us, they can call," said Esther Vogel, a founding member of the local Suicide Prevention Program, whose son, Jimmy, died by suicide in 2001.
"When it is brought to the center and talked about like other health topics we talked about all the time, it normalizes the conversation and that is really the key," added Brad Knudson, co-founder of the Quad Cities Chapter of the Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention Program, who has been giving presentations on suicide and suicide prevention since his son died by suicide in 1999.
Suicide prevention programs have been presented in the Camanche schools in recent months.
And, more suicide prevention awareness events, including a memory walk, are already in the works already for the entire community.
If you or someone you know is in crisis, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. Dial 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

The Missing Open Source Projects, from an Enterprise POV
|Email weblog link
|Blog this
Tim O'Reilly
Jul. 11, 2003 12:53 PM
Finally this morning, I had a chance to sit and enjoy some of the talks. And as I settled in to the last session but one, I thought I would do my bit to contribute to the conference blogosphere by taking notes on Robert Lefkowitz (r0ml)'s talk on "The Missing Open Source Projects". Robert works on Wall Street (though he's not speaking for his employers). R0ml gave us some real insight into why proprietary software companies aren't going to go away for a long time, and just how much investment goes into software in the enterprise space. What's more, he emphasized just how many of the dollars go into operations, not software per se, and how the opportunity is for software to help manage some of those operations costs, and other business needs.
For each of seven application areas, r0ml tried to characterize the problem and make it vivid for open source developers. He started, though, with a big picture view. (Much of what follows is a transcription of his comments or slides, but some of it is my summary, and I don't have clear differentiation between the two. Please excuse any errors. And as r0ml accelerated the pace, the notes get sketchier. Hopefully, we'll eventually get the slides themselves up online.)
Enterprise Applications are characterized by many people, many computers, and many years (more than 10,000 people/machines, and more than 10 years). What's more, all the people and the computers need to be interchangeable.
He then talked about the top ten software vendors, and showed the kinds of business areas.
Then he went on to what he believes are the top six projects that are missing from an enterprise point of view. He actually listed seven, saying that two of them were only half-value (but he didn't say which ones.) He's not going to talk about things like an Exchange replacement, since he just recently saw Opengroupware.org
1. Distributed cron
What if I had 80,000 jobs running on 10,000 computers? Cross platform, with dependencies, and it's was somebody's job to contact someone else if something went wrong. In financial services, if jobs don't run, or run twice, money gets lost, and occasionally, people go to jail.
What people use now: Computer Associates Autosys. But google and you'll find others.
Here's what you have to be able to do: Keep a database of job state and run information in a single database. Commit to manageing all the batch jobs for a dozen open source porjects, schools and non-profits, and any conference attendees who agree. Including any non-Linux machines. If people object because of security, you have to fix that too.
Grid is starting to look at problems in this space. But they haven't started to look at the problem of who gets sued if you get it wrong.
This isn't just about writing code, it's about managing the process.
2. Asset Management
What if I had 3000 different software products running on 50,000 computers, with hundreds of paid data sources used by thousands of people? And support models based on number of users/number of installations/number of uses? And there are financial penalties for getting it wrong.
Audit requirements give financial and legal exposure. Inability to track right now drives companies to sign "enterprise deals, which create long-term lock in.
An effective open source asset management tool would help highlight how much money could be saved by using open source software. Software is currently about 15% of the corporate IT budget.
What goes into asset management: tracking (agents running everywhere); authorization workflow, including auto-authorization; asset redistribution. "Knowing what yu use and how is always a better idea than ignorance."
Google "asset tracking" to see who does this now. Tivoli, Asset Insight, others.
At this point, r0ml told a long story about the first time someone threatened to sue him and his company for many millions of dollars for automating a formerly manual process, thereby allowing users to switch what licensed data screens they were looking at. Automation can cut costs significantly, but vendors are often opposed to it. Open source could potentially help.
3. Single Sign-on
The average person needs many passwords to get their job doen. And many are required to change every 30-90 days. And they all have different policies around allowed values. This is so bad in a corporate setting that he never even tries to remember passwords, but starts right in with the "I forgot my password link" and just types in something random for the new password.
More than 50% of the calls to help desks are for password resets.
Merrill Lynch now spends 2 billion a year on IT. 20% of that is user support, and if half of that is password resets, are they really spending $200 million a year?
The missing project is to modify every database, browswer , email client, so that it uses LDAP and other open standards... (I lost the end of the thread here as r0ml accelerated the pace.)
4. Messaging
Why isn't email the answer for reliable messaging? In the interests of time, r0ml skipped over this one...
5. Change Management
Deciding what to change. Tracking who changed what. Making the change. Backing out the change. Keeping track of current state.
There are between 200 and 300 tracked changes a day. There is one change-related outage every day, with a 99.5% success rate for changes. And change-related outages are a large expense.
This can be as small as puliing out a cable at the wrong time to move a piece of equipment. In a financial services context, this can cost a lot of money.
Tokyo sys admins have it worst, since they are the start of the world trading day. It's like facing the tsunami every Monday morning, as they deal with the problems caused by changes in New York on the preceding Friday.
Some vendor products: Rational Merant, visible Razor. Change management is not just a software package, though, but a methodology and a process. Microsofts MSF/MOF, SEI's CMM.
He described a book on software change management process that starts with buying a spiral bound notebook, how to label it, what to put in it. A whole process around operating a spiral bound notebook in order to build software!
In the open source world, there's a lot of folklore, but there's no how-to on process.
To make this concrete in an OSS context: What would it take to rev Debian stable on a weekly basis? How can I tie a CVS check-in to a bug report. Both ways. If I undo an upgrade, I need to automatically notify the maintainer responsible. I have to undo across multiple hosts.
6. Relationship Management
Keep track of your customers. This generates increased satisfaction and lowers sales costs.
What percentage of bug ruports to open source projects are submitted by employees of financial services firms? Which industries have the highest patch submission to running copies ratio. How are you going to write software that is useful for people if you don't know if or how they're using your features? Like BitKeeper, should your software automatically collect data about how people are using it?
Ideas from Doc Searls: Markets are not just about money (free as in ride), or about ideas (visible or transparent source helps), but about relationships.
Don't throw the software over the (fire)wall -- demand a relationship.
Companies spend more on marketing than on development because the relationships are more important than the code.
7. Source Terminator
It's easier to combine proprietary software than open source software. "In the proprietary world, we're always mushing stuff together because the big fish eat the little fish."
In open source, we should aspire to create definitive literature for particular problem domains.
There is some movement in this direction: parrot, oscom, mysql and SAPdb are all doing some combining of ideas and code from other projects.
In conclusion, if they want to get into the enterprise, open source developers need to think about operations, the financial business case, help desk automation, methodology, customer focus, and marketing. All the things that businesses think about. There's a lot of opportunity here, and a lot of money.

Asset Management : getting inspiration from r0ml
2004-03-22 11:34:01 pombredanne [View]
When I stumbled on this post and the persentation from r0ml, we had started about a month before working on doing number 2. IT Asset management , open source. I think r0ml is right on.
And there is a very subversive nature to having asset management as open source.
Once you know what you have, then you can begin to make experiments to replace proprietary components with open source alternatives...
Missing projects

We definitely need OpenMQ, for want of a better name.
But what we also need are some other lower-level components to build these large scale systems on. And we don't really have these yet.
We definitely need a good, stable, scalable, easy to configure and manage RDBMS (NOT MySQL - that's a cardfile - PostGresQL? perhaps)
We need a development environment with REALLY good debugging support, including distributed debugging - and a good UI - there's nothing out there now. Plenty of powerful languages but all have very weak debugging support, particularly if you have client/server or n-tier components (i.e I want to put a breakpoint in a remote process and single-step it etc. as if I were locally connected to it). I don't care what language it is, Perl, Java, Python,C#,... just give me an enterprise-level development environment for it!.
Finally, we need to be able to use Mozilla as a reusable component. This is similar to how you would embed Internet Explorer as a COM control in, say, a VB program and have IE do all the user interface handling. Currently, because there's no inter-platform component service like COM in the open source arena, that's just not possible, even if the Mozilla control project wasn't so immature.
Alternatively, can we have Display PostScript like Apple and have a common rendering language for display and printing? with tools to support its creation.
Until we have these things its silly to wonder why large-scale Open Source projects don't exist. The plumbing is not there - apart from operating system low-level services the support stuff just doesn't exist.
Open Asset Standard
2003-07-15 11:41:42 anonymous2 [View]
We need Open Standard for Asset Management more than Open Software. Each system vendor has it's own propriety tool. MS has things like WMI. All report different things and supposedly interface with SMTP, with config nightmares I can't even begin to describe.
So here's a thought. An Open standard for Asset Management. Standard data interfaces (dare I say which ones). Gather information on any hardware, software, driver, blah, blah, blah� that you want. Drill into from everything from CPU speed to Vendor S/N. An open standard would allow central reporting. Easy accessibility to information. And more importantly, removal or propriety methods and systems.
Distributed CRON and Messaging
2003-07-15 11:40:53 patrickdlogan [View]
I would tie these two topics together. One solid open source foundation has been very well proven: Erlang OTLP.
The Erlang system seems to me to be well more than 80 percent of an industrial strength CRON.
Other open source language providers should look to Erlang OLTP for the ingredients that simplify scalable, monitored, distributed systems.
Distributed CRON and Messaging
2003-07-19 13:43:42 Robert Lefkowitz | [View]
I agree that Erlang has a number of capabilities that simplify building distributed systems. However, it is a language and a platform -- one would still need to build a distributed cron application. And as you point out on your blog, it would be difficult to build a sustaining community around such a project developed in Erlang.
One could then argue that the facilities that Erlang provides could be incorporated into other more popular development tools / languages. That suggests the "Source Terminator" project -- combining good ideas from multiple projects. Unfortunately for distributed cron, the work involved in combining Erlang and Mono, or Erlang and Python probably exceeds the effort required to just go ahead and build distributed cron using C the old fashioned way.
It is a shame that it is so difficult to build sustaining projects out of brilliant but unknown languages (check out Aplus ). Likewise a shame that we don't know how to incorporate these ideas into the mainstream more effectively.
Distributed CRON and Messaging
2003-07-23 21:06:23 mvw [View]
Erlang is one of a few languages that are designed from the ground up for distributed programming, in this case from the functional programmers camp.
An imperative example is CxC (a C/C++ ish language), which seems to be more aimed for number crunching while Erlang has a focus on networking and reliable operation.
Erlang is the only functional language, where I have not the feeling that it is just an academic toy. This is because it is used in heavy real world apps in the telecommunications area.
It comes with lots of cool ideas and apps, among it a distributed database.
I wish the documentation would be more suited to newcomers, but that is just a matter of time.
I disagree that it would be hard to find Erlang coders.
Ever looked at the Zope sources and then claiming that Python is easy?
I would rather stick the effort into learning the Erlang base language. :)
So please mail me your cron requirements.
And lets see, how far we get.
Missing framework
2003-07-15 07:24:52 anonymous2 [View]
Having the missing pieces would be nice. Having the existing ones talk to each other would be better. Dashboard, trending, ticket system, gnat. Sourceforge shows 2200+ projects for system administration, installation,distribution,logging. I doubt any of them talk to each other.
2003-07-14 13:37:31 anonymous2 [View]
Well, we have an Open Source network directory management system at http://www.arlut.utexas.edu/gash2/ which people are more than welcome to take and use. It's got its flaws and limitations, but it's also got .25 mil lines of Java code and is designed to be heavily customizable and integrable with almost anything.
On reliable messaging
2003-07-14 13:04:14 anonymous2 [View]
On item (4): he was probably referring to messaging middleware, which provides transaction support. All investment banks use this heavily (typically IBM MQSeries), and thre is no Open Source version.

yes, he explicitly referred to MQ series.

What about JBoss and OpenJMS?
Also,My guess is since he mentioned email that he is
speaking about person-to-person messaging instead of
On reliable messaging
2003-07-16 17:16:45 anonymous2 [View]
Open source person to person messaging frameworks are already available, Jabber leaps to mind.
Since he used the term "reliable" I am sure he is talking about a MSMQ and MQSeries open source replacement.
SSO is huge
2003-07-11 18:09:48 anonymous2 [View]
I hear the SSO requirement regularly. Probably the archetype for a strong enterprise architecture has a firewall outside and a directory of identities inside that passes authentication to Kerberos. Businesses with directory servers are trying to consolidate, but Microsoft has succeeded in making that an ugly problem unless it's all AD. Regardless, Gartner had a study 3 years ago with sage advice: the idea that there will be one single directory per organization is fallacious.

Melissa Etheridge has been a core Island Records artist since the release of her critically-acclaimed eponymous RIAA double-platinum debut album,. For several years, Etheridge's popularity built around such memorable songs as "Bring Me Some Water" (from her debut), "No Souvenirs" (from Brave And Crazy) and "Ain't It Heavy" (from Never Enough), for which she won her first Grammy for Best Female Rock Vocal. Etheridge hit her commercial and artistic stride with her fourth album, Yes I Am, featuring the massive hits "I'm the Only One" and "Come to My Window," a searing song of longing that brought her second Best Female Rock Grammy. The album went six times platinum and spent more than two and a half years on the album chart. Her highest charting album, Your Little Secret (#6 on the Billboard Top 200), included the hit single, "I Want to Come Over." Her astounding success led Etheridge to receive the Songwriter of the Year honor at the ASCAP Pop Awards in 1996, and the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2007.
