Bob Dylan's Tribute To Medgar Evers Took On The Big Picture
Originally published on Wed June 12, 2013 5:20 pm
On this day 50 years ago — June 12, 1963 — Bob Dylan's career was just taking off when he heard the news that civil rights activist Medgar Evers had been assassinated. Dylan responded with a song that he eventually performed at the March on Washington and the Newport Folk Festival.
As Princeton University historian Sean Wilentz says, "Only a Pawn in Their Game" leans hard on the idea that Evers' killer was not the only guilty party.
"The whole point is, the killer is guilty, yes, but he's not the person to blame," Wilentz tells NPR's Audie Cornish. "There's rather a much larger system that's out there, and that's what the song is really about."
Dylan's words also scrutinize the era's white elites, suggesting they enraged poor whites against blacks in order to divert them from their own social and economic position.
"It's a sort of standard left-wing take on what Southern segregation and racism was all about," Wilentz says. "It isn't simply a matter of hatred; it isn't simply a moral question. It's a political question and an economic question. The poor white man's at the caboose of the train, but it's the system — the rich, the powerful, everyone from the cops on up and down — they're the ones who are twisting this guy's head around with racism in order to keep him down."
In the wake of such a tragic event, the song was a unique undertaking — one that aimed to communicate and understand what was taking place in the killer's mind.
"It wasn't a song that played naturally into the moral geometry of the civil rights movement, you know, which was very much about the righteous civil rights workers — black and white — against an obdurate segregationist system," Wilentz says. "This dug a little deeper and made people think a little bit more. ... He's giving you the sound of what it's like to have your brain screaming because you're down, because you're poor."
When Dylan wrote the song, the American civil rights movement was well under way, and protest songs such as "We Shall Overcome" were essential to the spirit of the movement. However, as Wilentz says, most protest songs were uplifting and encouraged an "eyes on the prize" mentality.
"Dylan's writing a different kind of art," Wilentz says. "Not just in the sense of art because it's beautifully written, but because he actually had that ability to, as I say, enter into lots of different people's brains and souls and see them in collision."
As part of NPR's look back at the summer of 1963, we'll also be tuning into the music of that time: the songs, the singers and the emotions they conveyed about who we were and where we were going.
We begin today with a young Bob Dylan, who was just starting his career when he heard the news that Medgar Evers had been killed. Dylan responded with a song that he eventually performed at the March on Washington in August of 1963. It was called "Only a Pawn In Their Game."
BOB DYLAN: (Singing) A bullet from the back of the bush took Medgar Evers' blood. A finger fired the trigger to his name. A handle hid out in the dark. A hand set the spark. Two eyes took the aim behind a man's brain. But he can't be blamed. He's only a pawn in their game.
CORNISH: Sean Wilentz is a historian and Dylan biographer at Princeton University and he joins me now to talk about the song. Welcome, Sean Wilentz.
SEAN WILENTZ: Great to be here, Audie.
CORNISH: So, Dylan is only about 23 when he writes this song. Walk us through the lyrics, the story that Dylan is trying to tell here.
WILENTZ: Well, from the beginning, actually, we're not so much with Medgar Evers, we're with the man who killed him. And the whole point is the killer is guilty, yes, but he's not the person to blame. There's rather a much larger system that's out there, and that's what the song is really about.
DYLAN: (Singing) For the politician's gain, as he rises to fame and the poor white remains on the caboose of the train. But it ain't him to blame. He's only a pawn in their game.
WILENTZ: It's a sort of standard left-wing take on what Southern segregation and racism was all about, that it isn't simply a matter of hatred. It isn't simply a moral question. It's a political question, an economic question. He says, you know: The South politician preaches to the poor white man, you got more than the Blacks, don't complain.
DYLAN: (Singing) But the poor white man's used in the hands of them all like a tool
CORNISH: And how did people react to this song at the time?
WILENTZ: Well, it's interesting. I mean, it's not - it wasn't a song that played naturally into the moral dramaturgy of the civil rights movement, you know, which was very much about the righteous civil rights workers, black and white, against an obdurate segregationist system. This dug a little deeper and made people think a little bit more.
I mean, imagine, you know, writing a song in the immediate aftermath of Medgar Evers' assassination and giving an empathetic reading of the killer, at least an understanding what's going inside the killer's mind. And that's what he's doing. But he's doing it with a man that most people would like to do...
WILENTZ: ...very terrible things to 'cause they're so angry at him.
DYLAN: (Singing) And he's taught how to walk in a pack, shoot in the back with his fist in a clinch, to hang and to lynch, to hide 'neath the hood. To kill with no pain like a dog on a chain, he ain't got no name. But it ain't him to blame. He's only a pawn in their game.
CORNISH: Sean Wilentz, and writing at the time of the writing of this song, the Civil Rights Movement was well underway. There are lots of protest songs out there in different genres. What's significant about the Dylan's moment here?
WILENTZ: Well, I think Dylan is an artist in a way that nobody else was. I mean, music meant a lot to the movement - "We Shall Overcome," I mean Baronese Johnson(ph). It's a musical all over the place. But mostly it's about raising your spirits. It's keep your eyes on the prize, that kind of thing.
Dylan's writing a different kind of art, not just in the sense of art because it's beautifully written, but because he actually had that ability to enter into other people's - lots of different peoples' brains and souls and see them in collision.
CORNISH: Sean Wilentz, thank you so much for speaking with us.
WILENTZ: It's been a real pleasure.
CORNISH: Sean Wilentz is a historian at Princeton University. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

When you're headed on an adventure, let Pharmaca help you get prepared! Several Pharmaca locations now offer immunizations and consultations for travel anywhere in the world.
We offer a variety of ways to help get you prepared for your upcoming travel:
Schedule your vaccination or consultation today at any of our Pharmaca locations (Please note: Yellow Fever Vaccinations not offered in Colorado)
Make an appointment with our pharmacists to review your travel itinerary and get prepared for your journey! They'll help you identify the right health care solutions to make your trip a happy and healthy one.
Our pharmacists will:
It's important for you and your family to stay up to date on vaccinations that may be necessary to protect you from diseases that are still common in many parts of the world. Below is some information on vaccinations that are routinely recommended for travelers. (Find out more about vaccinations recommended based on your destination from the CDC.)
While we do offer vaccinations for flu, shingles, whooping cough and pneumonia on a walk-in basis at all of our pharmacies, the following vaccinations must be requested in advance, and are available in New Mexico, Oregon and Washington. All vaccinations except Yellow Fever are available in Colorado.
Typhoid Fever (Learn more about Typhoid Fever and the vaccine) This potentially life-threatening illness is found in most parts of the world except for industrialized areas such as the US, Canada, Western Europe, Australia and Japan. Pharmaca offers two types of vaccines for Typhoid Fever—an injectable form and an oral form.
Hepatitis A (Learn more about Hepatitis A and the vaccine) According to the CDC, Hep A is one of the most common vaccine-preventable infections acquired during travel. Risk is higher for travelers going to rural areas, doing backcountry treks or eating and drinking in areas with poor sanitation. The virus causes acute liver disease and inflammation that leads to symptoms including abdominal pain, fatigue and jaundice. At least one vaccination is recommended prior to travel, but a second, administered 6-12 months after the first, is best for long-term protection.
Hepatitis B (Learn more about Hepatits B and the vaccine) The CDC recommends that all unvaccinated people received the Hepatitis B vaccine when traveling to areas with an intermediate or high prevalence of chronic hepatitis B. Hepatitis B can cause a range of symptoms, from mild illness to a serious long-term infection that can sometimes lead to chronic liver disease and liver cancer. Because this injectable vaccine is administered in a three-dose series, it should be started at least 6 months before traveling. Pharmaca does offer Twinrix, a combination vaccine for both Hepatitis A and B.
Meningitis (Meningococcal Disease) (Learn more about Meningitis and the vaccine) The CDC recommends vaccination against meningitis for people who travel to countries where Neisseria meningitides, the bacteria that causes meningococcal disease, is common, especially in areas of central Africa (called the "Meningitis Belt"). Proof of vaccination is also required for people traveling to Mecca for yearly pilgrimages. One vaccination is required, and should be administered at least 10 days in advance of travel.
Tdap: Tetanus/Diphtheria/Pertussis (Read more about these illnesses and their vaccines) A complete round of vaccinations for these three diseases is recommended for all children under 7, and booster shots are often recommended for adults before travel (tetanus specifically should be revaccinated every 5-10 years).
Rabies (Read more about the rabies and the vaccine) This viral infection is transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected animal, most often raccoons, skunks, bats, foxes and dogs. The risk for contracting rabies is higher in countries without adequate animal vaccination strategies in place. The CDC especially recommends a rabies pre-exposure vaccine when travelers know they will be in contact with animals, are going to a country where rabies is common or will be in remote areas without access to adequate medical care.
Varicella (Read more about varicella and the vaccine) The varicella vaccine has been used since 1995 to inoculate people against the chickenpox disease, which is highly contagious and uncomfortable. The CDC recommends two doses of the varicella vaccine for adults and children who have not contracted the disease, and especially for international travelers.
Yellow Fever is most commonly transmitted via the bite of an infected mosquito, and vaccination is recommended for travel to sub-Saharan Africa and tropical South America.
Risk for acquiring yellow fever is dependent on your travel destination and season of travel; for example, according to the CDC, Yellow Fever has an elevated risk of transmission in West Africa during the end of rainy season, usually July to October. The risk for Yellow Fever infection in South America, on the other hand, tends to increase between January and March. (Learn more about the CDC's recommendations for vaccination by country and season.)
Many countries require proof of vaccination for those eligible to receive the vaccine. The vaccination is administered as a single injection, and the World Health Organization requires revaccination at 10-year intervals.
Please note that Yellow Fever vaccinations are only available through a Pre-Travel Consultation, available only in California, New Mexico, Oregon and Washington.
Malaria is a major world health problem—an estimated 350-500 million people are infected each year, leading to approximately 1 million deaths annually. The presence of malaria is fairly widespread, as well: According to the CDC, it's found in Africa, Central and South America, parts of the Caribbean, Asia (including South Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East), Eastern Europe and the South Pacific.
All types of malaria are transmitted by mosquito bite, so the CDC recommends mosquito avoidance as the most important preventive measure. But malaria chemoprophylaxis medications are also widely prescribed, and include use of medication before, during and after travel to an area with malaria.
While there is currently no vaccine that prevents malaria, many effective chemoprophylaxis options are available, including chloroquine, atovaquone-proguanil, doxycycline and mefloquine. To help determine which option is best for you, our pharmacists will review your travel itinerary, your current medical conditions and medications, as well as potential side effects. (Learn more about the CDC's recommendations for vaccination by country and season.)

Do I need an appointment to receive a consultation or vaccination?
Yes, appointments are required for all pre-travel consultations and vaccinations.

Portland Sedans
Speed's Auto Services v. Portland
Protectionism in Portland, Oregon
Institute for Justice client Mike Porter is being blocked by the city of Portland, Ore., from providing discounted car service to consumers.
|Video: Portland Minimum Fare Laws
Can the government bar entrepreneurs from offering competitive prices, online discounts and prompt service merely to protect politically powerful insiders from competition?
That is the question the Institute for Justice (IJ) and its clients seek to answer though a federal lawsuit they have filed challenging Portland, Oregon's anticompetitive limousine and sedan regulations.
In 2009, the Portland City Council passed two measures designed to protect the city's taxicab companies from competition at the expense of both consumers and limousine and sedan services: first, limos and sedans must charge $50 minimum for rides to or from the airport and, second, limos and sedans must charge at least 35 percent more than taxicabs charge for any other trip. As if these regulations were not punishing enough, customers are required to wait a minimum of one hour before a limo or sedan can pick them up.
Not surprisingly, Portland's taxicab companies requested these regulations. What is surprising is that Portland agreed to impose higher transportation costs on Portlanders and put strict limits on limo and sedan entrepreneurs, just to make it easier for the city's taxicab companies to make more money. As IJ points out, that is hardly a wise or constitutional use of government power.
Recently, the city's Revenue Bureau clamped down on Groupon.com promotions offered by two Portland limo and sedan companies, Towncar.com and Fiesta Limousine. When the companies offered discounted fares to their customers—$32 one-way trips to the airport or up to 30 miles elsewhere in Portland—city enforcers immediately threatened the companies with a combined $895,000 in fines and suspension of their operating permits. In response to the controversy, the city has publicly stated that its job is to protect taxicab companies from competition by enforcing anti-consumer rules.
Portland cannot constitutionally seek to protect taxicab businesses from competition at everyone else's expense. On April 26, 2012, IJ teamed up with Towncar.com and Fiesta Limousine and filed a federal lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon to vindicate the right of Portland's limo and sedan operators to earn an honest living free from excessive government regulation.

Abrasions or swellings suggest a prior traumatic event. Decubital lesions might indicate prolonged periods of recumbency or difficulty experienced by the animal when rising. Muscular atrophy, particularly noticeable in the gluteal region, can be associated with a painful condition such as arthritis. Animals experiencing extreme pain can lose body condition rapidly.
In normal stance, the point of the hock (tuber calcanei) lies directly beneath the pin bone (ischial tuber) when viewed either from the side or from behind. Approximately 60% of the body weight is borne by the forelimbs compared with the hindlimbs. A lame animal adjusts its posture in order to relieve pain. For example, a painful abscess in a lateral hindclaw causes the animal to abduct that limb. Pain in the heel of the hindfoot forces the animal to hold its foot to the rear, a posture known as "camping back" or retraction. After a cow has spent much time walking on concrete, the lateral hind claw may become overburdened (excessive buildup of solear horn). This forces the hock to turn inward; this is referred to as a "cow hocked" posture. Pain in the toe, which occurs in laminitis, causes the animal to hold its hindfeet further forward than normal, a posture referred to as "camping forward" or protraction. This posture can be confused with a conformational defect referred to as "sickle hock," in which the angle of the hock is <160º. When the angle of the hock is <180º, the posture is referred to as "post leg," which is an undesirable conformational characteristic associated with arthritis. When the hindfeet are held closer together than normal (adducted), pain in the medial claw is indicated. The animal is said to be "standing narrow." This posture is often confused with a trait of conformation called "bow leg."
Adduction of the limb
Cross-legged posture, cattle
Lameness is best observed when cattle are walking on a clean, hard surface. Initially, a cow should be watched in progression from the side. If the cow is not lame, the back will be flat; if she is mildly lame, the back will be slightly arched. If a cow is moderately lame, her back will be arched both when she is standing and when she is walking. The truly lame cow will either bear some weight on the affected foot or, if acutely lame, refuse to bear weight at all. There will be some bobbing of the head as the animal attempts to bear weight on a painful foot.
Recognizing the region of the foot in which the seat of lameness is located is derived from the principles described under abnormal posture above. For example, if there is pain in the toe, the retraction phase of the stride (when the foot passes behind the phase of vertical weight-bearing) is reduced considerably. In contrast, if there is pain in the heel, the protraction phase of the stride is reduced or the foot is not carried as far forward as is normal. Usually the gait of one limb can be compared with that of the contralateral limb when viewed from the side. However, lameness that is simultaneously present in contralateral limbs tends to appear less severe than is actually the case. It is not unusual in cases of subacute laminitis for all limbs to be affected more or less equally. In these cases, no specific gait change is seen, but the animals tend to place their feet at each step with care; they are said to "plod" or have a stilted gait.
The axial surfaces of the claws should be equally concave. Excessive concavity of the axial surface of the lateral claw is a bad trait in young cattle, particularly males. This trait is associated with corkscrew claw in later life. In animals exposed to concrete surfaces for a prolonged period, the sole of the lateral claw is likely to be worn flat and become much wider than the medial claw.
To facilitate examination of a completely flat claw, the surface of the sole should be washed and examined carefully for black marks, by exploring it with a hoof knife. If the sole is heavily caked with mud and manure (eg, animals at pasture or confined in corrals or straw yards), it is quicker and easier to cut off a layer of superficial horn together with the caked material to expose fresh horn beneath. Particular attention should be paid to the abaxial white line area. Removal of large amounts of sole horn is contraindicated in the diagnostic phase of an examination. The interdigital space should be evaluated by separating the claws and examining carefully for evidence of a foreign body, fibroma, footrot, interdigital dermatitis, or digital dermatitis.

Radiography can help identify the site of lameness and provide information about the stage to which the pathology has progressed. This helps in determining the most advantageous treatment. When pathologic changes are seen in the region of the distal interphalangeal joint, tissue damage is often rapid and severe.
Before a radiograph is taken, the interdigital space and both claws should be cleansed thoroughly, and both claws should be lightly trimmed. If this is not done, false images or shadows may mask abnormalities present in the claws. The digits can be viewed radiographically using 4 angles or projections.
In the dorsopalmar/plantar projection, the image produced shows all of the major bones and joints without overlap. This view allows diagnosis of many diseases of the bovine foot.
In the oblique projection, the plate is positioned beneath the claw and the head of the machine is placed dorsad to the digits and rotated backward at a 45° angle. Because cattle have 2 digits that overlap one another when viewed radiographically from the side, the clarity of an abnormality may be obscured. The oblique view allows the digit to be viewed from such an angle that 1 claw appears to be behind the other, which gives a much clearer picture than can be obtained when the digits are superimposed. Because each digit is projected differently on an oblique view, it is best to compare 2 radiographs of oblique views taken at comparable but opposite angles.
The lateromedial or mediolateral projection is generally of much less value than the oblique view. However, because positioning is relatively easy, this view is useful for evaluating fractures, fracture repairs, and luxations.
In the axial projection, a lateromedial or mediolateral view of a single claw is accomplished by placing a nonscreen film (eg, a paper "cassette") between the digits. This view produces a good image of the affected distal phalanx and, if interdigital soft-tissue swelling is not too great, the distal interphalangeal joint.
A number of factors should be considered in radiographic analysis and interpretation. Age differences can be seen radiographically as differences in skeletal development. In calves, physes are present in the distal metacarpus and metatarsus and at the proximal ends of the proximal and middle phalanges. In a very young calf, the distal phalanges may be incompletely ossified so that the bones appear small, and their distal ends are rounded and indistinct. The subchondral bone may appear indistinct and finely irregular; this should not be mistaken for the subchondral bone lysis that is seen in septic arthropathy.
Diseases stimulating periosteal new bone in cattle (such as corkscrew claw and post-recovery septic arthritis) can cause marked changes in bone contour and increased bone opacity.
Slight bony changes at articular margins and musculotendinous attachments are commonly seen on radiographs of older cattle. Roughening of the distal surface of the distal digit is a normal sign of aging. Changes that occur during the normal aging process should not be confused with active bony changes.
Reactive new bone (osteophyte, enthesiophyte, or exostosis) that has been present for some time has a distinct border and a rough outline, and the opacity is normally even. Active new bone has an indistinct border and a rough outline, and the opacity is uneven.
Diffuse loss of bone opacity occurs in subacute laminitis, nutritional bone disease, and after limb immobilization. Focal or localized loss of bone opacity occurs in bone infection (osteomyelitis) or inflammation (osteitis), early fracture healing, and with defects in endochondral ossification (osteochondrosis).
Increase in joint width is caused by the presence of increased fluid in the joint. However, this is less evident if the animal is bearing weight at the time the radiograph is taken. To confirm that the joint is in fact wider than normal, it may be compared with the contralateral joint.
Indistinctness and loss of opacity of the subchondral bone are often associated with joint infections. Loss of opacity is often irregular. For this reason, a single radiograph is unlikely to detect this pathology; therefore, several radiographs taken from different angles are usually advised. Comparison between suspect and known normal joints is recommended. Subchondral bone may be indistinct in a young animal.
Radiography is important for evaluating the progress of a fracture repair. A radiograph taken immediately after a fracture has been realigned is the basis for future evaluations, and subsequent radiographs are essential if nonunion or bone infection is suspected.
Loss of bone opacity is difficult to recognize with certainty in metabolic and nutritional diseases. Because all of the bones in the body may be equally affected, it is not helpful to compare one bone with another. In an adult animal, cancellous regions in the bone ends may become coarser or "granular" in appearance as smaller bone trabeculae are resorbed. In the diaphysis of a normal bone in both immature and adult animals, the cortex is thickest at midshaft and becomes thinner toward both ends. If the cortex at midshaft approaches the thinness of the proximal and distal diaphyses, generalized osteopenia must be suspected.
Soft-tissue swelling can be demonstrated on radiographs only in the early stages of a septic disease. The characteristics of a soft-tissue swelling may indicate the location of a lesion and the tissues involved, muscle or tendon disease, cellulitis or edema, or dark gas shadows (eg, a sinus or a cap of an abscess).
For distal digital analgesia (used for surgical or diagnostic procedures), the dorsal site is located on the dorsal axis proximal to the interdigital space close to the metacarpal or metatarsal phalangeal joint. The needle should be placed with care (because the proper digital artery can be found at the dorsal site), and 10 mL of 2% lidocaine injected. If the needle is inserted deep into the interdigital space, the nerves of the flexor surface can be reached. This obviates the necessity of a flexor site block for simple procedures. The distribution of the nerve supply to the axial face of the digits of the forelimb is not constant, which makes this technique unreliable for digital analgesia of the forelimb.
The preferred flexor site is a little lower than the dorsal site because it is difficult to pass a needle through the partially cartilaginous palmar/plantar ligament. The medial and lateral sites are located at the level of the dewclaws, and the needle is inserted dorsally (horizontal in the standing animal) from a point 2.5 cm slightly proximal to the dewclaws. For the flexor site and the medial and lateral sites, ∼5–8 mL of 2% lidocaine is injected. For surgery of the digit (eg, amputation), the dorsal, palmar/plantar, and medial or lateral sites are used, depending on the claw. For interdigital surgery (eg, removal of corns), both the dorsal and palmar/plantar sites are used.

Arthroscopy enables visualization of the interior surfaces of a joint for diagnostic or surgical purposes. Arthrocentesis is a procedure by which synovial fluid may be removed from a joint for examination. Local anesthetic can be introduced to ascertain if painful lesions are present in the joint. Intra-articular therapy permits medication to be deposited into the joint. As this procedure may be painful, a nerve block at a higher level is recommended.
For the distal interphalangeal joint, the needle is inserted lateral to the common or long extensor tendon, which inserts into the extensor process of the distal phalanx. The entry point is just proximal to the coronary band. For the pastern joint (proximal interphalangeal joint), the needle is inserted lateral to the extensor tendon. For the fetlock joint (metacarpophalangeal or metatarsophalangeal joint), the needle is directed downward close to the bone and between it and the interosseous (suspensory) ligament. The joint can also be entered from the dorsal surface in a similar manner to the distal joints; however, the flexor pouch is more capacious than the dorsal one. For the digital synovial sheath (sheath of the deep flexor tendon), the needle is directed downward behind the interosseous ligament.
For the stifle joint, it is advisable to use 2 sites because the lateral femorotibial compartment in some animals may not communicate with the rest of the joint. The first site is close behind the lateral patellar ligament (lateral femorotibial compartment), and the needle should be directed caudally. The needle is inserted in the second site between the medial and middle patellar ligaments and directed slightly down and toward the large medial lip of the trochlea (femoropatellar and medial femorotibial compartments).

Wondering which vaccines you need as an adult? Here's help finding out which vaccines you need.
You're not a kid anymore, so you don't have to worry about shots, right? Wrong. Find out how to stay on top of your vaccines.
Vaccines for adults are recommended based on your age, prior vaccinations, health, lifestyle, occupation and where you travel.
The schedule is updated every year, and changes range from the addition of a new vaccine to tweaks of current recommendations. To determine exactly which vaccines you need now and which vaccines are coming up, check the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's website.
Several factors can affect whether you should get certain vaccines — or wait before getting them. Be sure to tell your doctor if you:
Adults of any age can benefit from vaccines. However, certain diseases, such as the flu and shingles, can be particularly serious for adults older than 65.
To gather information about your vaccination status, talk to your parents or other caregivers. Check with your doctor's office, as well as any previous doctors' offices, schools and employers. Some states also have registries that include adult immunizations. To check, contact your state health department.
If you can't find your records, talk to your doctor. He or she might be able to do blood tests to see if you are immune to certain diseases that can be prevented by vaccines. You also might need to get some vaccines again.
To stay on top of your vaccines, ask your doctor for an immunization record form. Bring the form with you to all of your doctor visits and ask your provider to sign and date the form for each vaccine you receive.

Building a new pc... sigh there was a time when i enjoyed doing that, now it seems like nothing but a chore! I have to setup 1 new laptop, 1 new pc, and buy several new laptops for friends and family and then set them up again.... its a pain i tell ya! And this all after setting up 5 new laptops already! Everybody enjoyed it so they want more.
I have been putting off using my new laptop since ages, until my wife forced me to let go off my aging but cozy laptop and migrate to the new one, and i haven't even finished migrating yet.
Don't get me started, but i guess it's too late already... hehe
That reminds me, i saw the exhibit they had over here, on Earth from Above (it was quite good and thought provoking, but also had too much doom and gloom ), anyway in that it said that it takes 1.8 Tons of material to build each PC, did you guys know that? That puts on a whole new meaning to having so many PCs around.... i don't feel so environmentally friendly anymore
anyway back to topic on hand.
Good luck with your new PC, brett, and i'll be looking forward to seeing the new versions...

As we approach the first holiday of the coming summer season, it is a time that most of us plan to spend with our families and friends, enjoying an extra day off work for cookouts, sporting events such as the Indy 500, baseball games or time at the lake.
This holiday, which is known as Memorial Day, should serve as a time for us to reflect back on the sacrifices that it took to make this day possible.
Memorial Day, originally called Declaration Day, is a day of remembrance to honor those who have died in our nation's service. It is important, therefore, for us to take the time during this weekend to honor those who helped to make this nation what is, and to pay tribute to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice to make and keep this nation free.
We need to remind ourselves, and our youth, of what it took to make America the nation it is today. This was the original purpose of this patriotic holiday, but we have let the true meaning slip into a time of fun and personal enjoyment, forgetting the rich meaning of the day.
There are those today who are continuing to give the ultimate sacrifice to preserve the traditions of our Constitution and the American Dream. Many of them are our friends, neighbors, fellow workers and relatives who serve our nation in the armed forces.
We cannot allow ourselves, or our future generations, or those we as a nation have fought so hard to protect in past wars around the world, to forget that freedom isn't free.
Take a moment this Memorial Day weekend to reflect on the real meaning of this day. Attend an event that salutes the purpose of this day, and spend time talking with your children about its importance.
If we forget the past we will have no path into the future. One such event will be "A Tribute to Those Who Serve" on May 25 that will be held at Parkview Regional Medical Center Family Park near I-69 and Dupont Road from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Today we have the Teeny-tiny Stratini-Stripe Point Nine theme for Firefox. Yes, go ahead and take a minute to say that out loud, I promise it is as fan as it looks. This fantastic theme takes the classic winstripe look and feel and gives it the clean Stratini presentation.
Here is a little more about the Firefox theme from the developer:
The icons and style are mostly taken directly from Firefox 0.9 Winstripe and Pinstripe for Mac, both designed by Kevin Gerich and Stephen Horlander. This is my absolute favorite Firefox theme, and I am not planning on porting others into Stratini. The code is all based on Stratini so Stratini-Stripe 0.9 includes all of the Stratini features such as tiny Teeny Mode, miniature bookmarks, rotating Reload button, highlighted text input boxes, and encryption coloring in the urlbar.
This adds one more unique member to the Stratini family of themes, have you collected them all?
You can pick up the Stratini-Stripe Point Nine theme from the Firefox Add-ons web site. Now you tell me, which Stratini theme is your favorite?

Proenza Schouler, loved by many a downtown gal-about-town, ruffled a few feathers when they set up camp on Madison Avenue in July. While we personally will travel to all ends of the earth for a wait-listed piece of Proenza, some...well, they won't go above 14th Street. Now, it seems downtown-dwellers may get their piece of the Proenza pie sooner than expected — our dear friends at Paper Mag bring word straight from Proenza's Fashion Week party that lower Manhattan may be next on the list. "We want to do a downtown store," said designer Jack McCollough. "We've got to have both. Our [clothes] are always about that mix."The rumor mill had previously been swirling about a possible outpost in an international market, but when the mag asked about whether NYC would take the top spot, Jack replied: "Yeah, perhaps before [international]. Maybe a couple of things simultaneously. We want to start getting our feet in the door in Asia and Europe, obviously. We'd love to do a store in Paris or London." While we're overjoyed at this news, it's important not to put all of our PS1s in one basket. So, until we hear more, get your fix of Lazaro and Jack here, with our pics of their star-studded NYFW party at the UES boutique. After all, is there anything their adorable faces can't fix? Besides that price tag.

Kingston votes to raze historic house; TV star Bronson Pinchot calls
KINGSTON - A 19th-century house that voters decided to demolish could be given a new life if a TV star with a passion for building restoration has his way.
Bronson Pinchot recently sent a letter to selectmen expressing an interest in featuring the town-owned Grace Daley House in a new show currently in production called "Bronson Pinchot Saves America."
The actor, who's appeared in numerous television series and movies, is best known for playing Balki Bartokomous in the sitcom "Perfect Strangers" in the 1980s and 1990s. He has already spoken with Selectman Mark Heitz.
The future of the historic house built on Main Street in 1834 was decided earlier this month when voters rejected a $150,000 proposal to renovate the building, now used for a thrift shop run by a nonprofit organization. Instead, voters passed a separate proposal to raze the house, which sits on a narrow strip of land on Main Street next to the Kingston Town Hall. But Pinchot may have a way to save at least some of the building.
The new show, which Pinchot described as an "unscripted" series as opposed to a reality show, would feature houses built between the mid-18th and mid-19th centuries that are dismantled, with some of the materials used in other house restoration projects.
At this point, Pinchot said he's only seen photographs showing the exterior of the Grace Daley House.
Pinchot also stars in another show, "The Bronson Pinchot Project," which is now in its second season on the DIY Network. That show features Pinchot and a crew of contractors who restore neglected homes in rural Harford, Penn.
Pinchot's proposal is the last thing selectmen expected, but they're receptive.
"We look at it as beneficial. It's good press for the town and could reduce the cost of removing the building. We're looking at it as a savings to the community," Heitz said.
Some people have asked why the town isn't selling the property. Heitz said the lot is too small and the house and the town hall property also share a well and septic
For now, Heitz said selectmen have no timeline for removing the building.
"It's not something that has to be done tomorrow," he said.
Road Agent Rich St. Hilaire was also in contact with Pinchot Tuesday and sent him pictures of the house.
"If it's not going to cost the town anything and it's going to be reused, then that's a good thing," he said.

Robert DeCarli
Bobs first life was as a math professor at a Catholic Girls College in Buffalo, New York. He moved on to function as an engineer at Lockheed Martin in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, all the while continuing to teach math at local colleges. In 1992 his wife, Kathleen, asked for help in making a quilt for their daughters wedding. She showed him how to make a four-patch and he was hooked.
As a mathematician, the seemingly endless number of possible patterns fascinated him. He has designed blocks and quilts since 1993, receiving a ribbon at the Vermont Quilt Festival and a blue ribbon at the Pennsylvania Quilt Extravaganza for BUTTERFLY (designed in EQ5).
He discovered Electric Quilt software in 2005 and has since designed more than one thousand quilts and blocks, including block and quilt settings for his wifes appliqué projects. His primary interest, besides teaching, is designing various size, inter-locking Log Cabin blocks and converting weaving patterns to quilts. In each area, the number of possibilities is seemingly endless, but he pursues them one at a time.

Martha DeLeonardis
Martha DeLeonardis is an internationally known, award-winning quilt artist who grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio. She graduated from Ohio University in 1981 with a BS in chemical engineering. Martha worked in industry for six years before retiring to stay at home with her two sons. Martha has been sewing since she can remember. In the second grade, she was making her own clothes under her mothers tutelage, an expert seamstress herself. Martha started quilting in 1995 when her children were young and her family lived in a small town in Ohio. She became seriously involved in this art form after moving to Katy, Texas, in 2000.

The one problem unique to this particular saw is the motor/capacitor failure. I did find a proper size (35mfd) run capacitor in town this morning and even though it won't physically fit inside the motor's capacitor cover (temporarily held on with duct tape) the motor now runs fine, and the saw cuts quite well. A minor tweak here and there, and I think I'll be well pleased.
I do wish the motor were a CS/IR or CS/CR motor rather than a PSC motor. I think the starting torque is too low for this application. It seems to struggle a little getting things up to speed, but doesn't seem underpowered at all after getting everything moving.
Although the nameplate says 3/4 HP, with only a 5 amp draw, I seriously doubt it's delivering 3/4 HP to the output shaft. Never yet met a 100% efficient electro/mechanical device. I may upgrade it if I stumble across a properly sized CS motor at some point.

Good luck on the motor hunt. Hopefully you will find one. Don't get discraged on the band saw, they are much better than chopsaws and you most likely will find that you will want a bigger and better one . Also when you see how little mess they make and how much more safer they are when using it due to the sparks, dirt, and no disk to break and go flying you will be very happy.
Again good luck and be sure to let me know how you make out.Little Fabrication

We also have a Jet horizontal band saw that is older than... Its cleaner for sure than our chopsaw and great for 12 inch I beams.
How are you making out Tom. Is the bandsaw starting to work out for you.Little Fabrication

I've found the cause of the motor problem. The only way the motor would start the blade moving was to back the blade tension off to almost nil, turn it on, then while its running, tension the blade. Not enough start torque on the motor to start it with the blade tensioned. The problem there was the upper wheel and shaft were completely dry and had begun to gall. Polished out the galling and coated the shaft with grease and it now starts with the blade tensioned. Don't know how long that's going to last, steel sliding on steel, without any kind of bearings. Thinking about pressing out the steel bushing in the wheel and replacing it with an oil impregnated sleeve bearing.
The next problem, and the one that is going to be the most complicated to correct is the depth of cut. With the blade tracking on the wheels the way it's supposed to, and the way the owner's manual directs, the saw lacks almost 1/4 inch cutting all the way through the work. The top of the bow contacts the base before the cut is complete. To get a complete cut, the blade has to be positioned such that only about 1/2 the blade width rides on the wheels. The other half is hanging over the edge of the wheels and is unsupported. Then, you can get a complete cut. But, not only is the blade insufficiently supported, the cutting edge bears on the wheel cover and saws a slot out of it as well as cuts a notch out of one of the ears on the base that support the bow's pivot pin. The only correction I can see for that is to saw off the ears, and either shorten them a quarter inch or so and weld them back in place or replace them with a couple of low profile pillow blocks. Then, I'll have to fabricate a new, lower profile wheel cover and/or grind some clearance on the base and relocate the on/off switch.
I gave some serious consideration to shipping it back to Grizzly for a refund or replacement, but I'd be out the shipping cost and have no guarantee that a replacement would be any better. I believe, once those items are corrected, this will be a servicable saw.
I've never done any welding on cast iron. Wondering if I'd be better off to concentrate on replacing those ears with pillow blocks and forget trying to weld them back in place. If welding is an option, any advice on how to go about it? I have a stick welder and a MIG unit available and am not very proficient with either one.Tom Veatch

Hi Tom, sorry to hear about your problems as well. I can't hardly go to Wichita that I don't stop at TSC when I first get there as it a pain to get to now when going West. I have usually heard good things about Grizzlys so I am sure they will make it right with you. Several months ago I went to a Tool store in Derby, I was pretty impressed with it.
I have been in the Harbor Freight store in Wichita several times but usually just look and don't end up buying much. When I see the items they have on display, looking like they are wore out or in terrible condition and never even used I frown from buying something. Some of the items there are okay just have to decide how long or how many times you plan to use it. I bought one of the bead blasters from them and got one use out of it, next time found out the gloves were history. Found it to be the same way looking around their store at the new bead blasters afterwards. The gloves were wore out and had never made it out of the store.
I have both a band saw and chop saw that I purchased from Orschelin's, both have served me well. I tend to use the band saw a lot more then the chop saw. Most of the time the cutting action is pretty good with both, the band saw took a while to get set up so that it would cut square after first getting it, but usually cuts pretty good, if it starts cutting off square I usually replace my blade right away and most of the time that takes care of the problem.
I used several hard back blades in the past and the last blade I put in it is a bi-metal blade. Have been using it for awhile now with no-complaints.
Band Saw Saga - End of Story
On the way back from the freight terminal, I dropped in the tool store that, I think "gnewby" was talking about - The Big Tool Store in Derby, KS. They supplied almost all the stationary tools in my woodshop and I should have gone there before shopping the internet for the bandsaw. My experience with them is "If they don't have it, you don't need it!"
Looked at the Jet saw they had on the floor and told them to put one on my truck. A comparison between the two would be apples and oranges - it's hard to accept that they are both the same category machine.
Just finished assembling the Jet and it's ready to use. Cuts fast and square (to the limits of my engineers square) vertically and horizontally right out of the box and runs much quieter and smoother with ball bearing supports on both wheels. It's "1/2" HP motor is rated at more input power (990 watts ) than the "3/4" HP motor (594 watts) on the G0622. So I believe the "1/2" Jet motor is actually capable of delivering more power to the blade than the "3/4" HP motor on G0622.
And, the Jet, sitting on my truck was less than $15 more than the other saw delivered. Like I said should have gone there first. I'd have saved myself a lot of time and headaches if I had.
"Toysrme", if you'd like a copy of the email I sent the vendor today detailing my trials and tribulations with the saw, shoot me a PM or email with the address. It may or may not be useful to you in your purchasing decision. I'd PM it to you but the forum software won't accept it - too long.Tom Veatch

you need to try the makita cold cut saw. It has a carbide tip blade that can virtually cut through anything. The salesman I bought it from said that in independent test, one carbide blade would equal about 60 abrasive wheels, just think of the money you would save! It cuts true everytime, and best of all, no dust in your lungs.

Hey Tom. Glad to here you got a good bandsaw and it works. I feel very bad about your time, money and efforts wasted on the first one. When I give my opinions and advice on these forums, I do worry about people like yourself who read the posts and go out thinking they got it made now and then have a experience like yours. I still believe you made the right choice on the bandsaw though. I am a member of a few welding and steel forums and I seen several question asked about bandsaw vs chopsaw and the bandsaw always wins against all types of saw hands down. I know that the bandsaw I got was most likely more money and bigger than you wanted, but for the price it an awsome bandsaw.
Sometimes in our haste to save a little money and get something we hope is good fast, we miss some obvious things. We do get what we pay for. I have had the same trouble you have gone through on some other items and know how frustrating it can be. Hopefully after you get some miles on the new bandsaw and see how it proforms, you will feel allot better and and be happy.
Send me the link for the bansaw you got so I can see what it looks like.
Have fun.Little Fabrication

link to Jets site. I'd not really considered that saw because the list price was a little more than I wanted to pay. But, as I mentioned, the price on my truck at the local shop was less than $20 more than the delivered price of the other saw. And it's much more than $20 more saw.
So far, I'm very pleased with it. Easy assembly and works properly right out of the box with very little tweaking required. Most of my application is fairly light gauge steel shapes but those it cuts fast, smooth, and square. Can't say what it'd be like cutting 4"x6" steel bars. I'd say it's too small and light for heavy production, but for a garage/hobbiest shop or even for incidental use in a production shop, it's looks ideal. Of course, the thing could self-destruct next week, but for the time being, I'm quite happy with it.Tom Veatch

Stanford L. Anderson, 84, of 319 East Fifth St., Warren, passed away on Saturday, Dec. 8, 2012 at Warren General Hospital.
Stanford was born April 18, 1928, in Ridgway to the late Carl G. Anderson and Sarah B. Raybuck Anderson. He attended grade school, junior high school and senior high school.Â
Erma E. Yale, age 83, of Daniel Street, Brockport, died Sunday, Dec. 9, 2012, at her residence.
She was born Feb. 20, 1929, in Coal Hollow, Elk County, daughter of Guido and Catherine Baruffalo Zuccolotto.
He was married to Raymond S. "Sparkey" Yale, he preceded her in death Nov. 23, 2011.
She was a member at Holy Cross Church in Brandy Camp.
Erma was a member of the Blue Army at Holy Cross. She had been employed at Brockway Glass in the decorating department before her retirement.
It is with deep sadness the family of Giulio Bevacqua announces his passing at the Welland Hospital located in Welland, Ontario, Canada, on Tuesday, Nov. 27, 2012 in his 79th year.
DuBOIS – It turned out to be a perfect weekend for Johnsonburg boys basketball at the Cardinal Classic.
Johnsonburg would win both of their games at the Classic, culminating the weekend with a 70-33 victory over host DuBois Central Catholic Saturday night at DuBois Central Catholic High School.
Johnsonburg won 60-45 over North Catholic Friday night in the season opener at DCC.
DuBOIS – At the season's onset, Ridgway senior point guard Jesse Reynolds had the added responsibility placed upon him of leading the scoring load.
After Saturday's game against North Catholic, he showed he can handle that and then some.
Reynolds led the Elkers with 35 points and nearly carried Ridgway to overtime singlehandedly before a late field goal gave North Catholic a 60-58 overtime win over Ridgway Saturday night at the Cardinal Classic hosted by DuBois Central Catholic High School.
With the Elk County sheriff's department reportedly facing a projected budget deficit of approximately $9,000 and the board of commissioners unwilling to cover the monetary figure, sheriff Jeffrey C. Krieg said Sunday night that he, along with chief deputy Theresa Merritt, will be working "until all this is settled."
JOHNSONBURG – Johnsonburg girls basketball won 46-41 over St. Marys Friday night at Johnsonburg Area High School in the season opener for both teams.
"It was an ugly win for as many turnovers as we had," Johnsonburg coach Mike Zilkofski said. "They were just out of sync. I practiced breaking the press all week and it was just out of sync. We threw the ball around."
Starting today, the Elk County sheriff's department will be shut down until possibly the end of the calendar year as ordered by the county's board of commissioners.
RUSSELL CITY – Miraculously, no one was injured Friday morning when a box truck collided with a trailer hauling a crane on Route 66 just west of Russell City in Elk County.
The Elkers are hoping one year won't make too much of a difference.
Last season, the Ridgway boys' varsity basketball team played their way to an amazing 29-2 season, a journey highlighted by several pivotal moments: a 45-38 win Dec. 30, 2011 over Johnsonburg to win the county's holiday basketball tournament; a 49-46 win Feb. 18 over the Rams to win the Allegheny Mountain League [AML] crown; and a 40-37 win March 3 against the Rams in Clarion to earn the District 9 Class title.

Indiana Commissioner for Higher Education Teresa Lubbers will kick off a series of regional events this week designed to engage local community leaders, students and families in increasing the number of Hoosiers with education and training beyond high school.
"It is not an overstatement to say that Indiana's future depends on the education level of our citizens," said Lubbers. "Increasing college completion is our passport to opportunity and prosperity, and we must embrace this challenge with a sense of urgency and shared responsibility."
Indiana currently ranks 40th nationally in education attainment with only a third of adults having earned more than a high school diploma. Indiana has set a goal of increasing the proportion of Hoosiers with a college credential, including one-year workforce certificates, two-year associate degrees and four-year bachelor's degrees, to 60 percent of the state's population by 2025.
Creating a Community Conversation
Sponsored by the Indiana Commission for Higher Education, the "Community Conversation on College Success" events will take place in each of the eight outreach regions for the 21st Century Scholars program, the state's premier college scholarship and preparation program for low-income students. Each regional event will be hosted by a county College Success Coalition, a growing statewide network of organizations working to increase college access and success.
To encourage more local students, families and community members to join in the conversation, each event will feature a free evening screening of the award-winning documentary film First Generation. The film tells the story of four high school students who set out to become the first members of their families to earn a college degree. Following the film screening, attendees will be given the opportunity to share their reactions to the film, discuss resources for students and families, and consider next steps the community can take to increase college completion and student success.
Upcoming Dates and Locations
The "Community Conversations on College Success" are part of an ongoing public engagement effort designed to increase the education level of all Hoosiers. Learn more about the Commission for Higher Education's "Reaching Higher, Achieving More" strategic plan for increasing college completion, affordability and academic quality in Indiana at www.che.in.gov.
