Without spending money, how can I make the biggest impact on my community with 15 minutes/day?
As a mother of two with a full-time job, I find it hard to find the time to give back. I want to change, but need to be realistic about my availability. I would love to hear any suggestions you may have about giving back in short spurts. Bring it!

Aug 13 2011: :o)Aug 4 2011: Give 15 minutes more exclusive time to your KIDs, they are future of community.... so more you can shape them up that will help the community in a great way..............Aug 3 2011: This may not have the greatest impact on the community as a whole, but it will impact those you reach greatly.
Seek out who the elderly are in your immediate vicinity, particularly those with children living far away, and check in on them every day or two.
-See if they need groceries, or be inquisitive and learn what they eat to determine if they're eating well.
-Find out how to contact their grown children in the case of an emergency, and to let them know they can contact you if there's a concern or problem - i.e. the phone is unplugged or out of service and they can't reach their elderly parent.
-If you notice they rarely leave home, invite them to join you on a 5-10 minute walk down the street to the mailbox just to get them moving a little, and their blood circulating
-Ask if they need a ride somewhere if they no longer drive. Sometimes just a drive through the neighborhood is uplifting. It helps them feel connected to the world around them.
-If they have nobody that checks in often, see if there are prescriptions they need filled or have stopped taking. Give them gentle reminders about taking them if it's appropriate or needed.
I'm currently helping to care for my 88 yr old mother who is experiencing dementia/Alzheimer's. She covered up many of her needs on our phone conversations. She lives in NYC and I was in Idaho. Even now that I'm here, I'm hard pressed to find someone to call, in her neighborhood, to check in on her when I'm gone. We had no idea how small her world had become, and how much she had let slide. These are things that can only be observed by someone who is near on a consistent basis. The primary need, in my opinion, for all our elders is connection. Perhaps that's a primary need we all share on this planet.
Aug 4 2011: I used to live in NYC and LA where there were many elderly folks in my community. I recently moved to Austin and I'm not so sure where all the older folk are.... it seems like a very young city. I love the idea though, because we are all a village after all. xo Jen

Leila Oicles
Aug 9 2011: I would start by thinking about things you are passionate about or the talents you already possess and how you could use them in your own unique way to give.
- +4
Are you great at story telling or good with arts and crafts? You could get your children involved too and reach out to other kids in the community by teaching or inspiring in some way. Perhaps you are great at multi tasking, organizing, parenting? Maybe you could help other mothers better juggle their time with career and family. Perhaps you are passionate about education or spirituality or helping others to help themselves. The possibilities endless!
Begin with what moves you and inspires you, because if you do it from the heart and enjoy what you do, then you are more apt to follow through...and perhaps even make a difference in someone elses life as well as your own.
Aug 13 2011: I agree 100% with you Leila! Great advice! :o)
Ken McManus
Aug 5 2011: Do (model) small things that others can pick up on and that collectively will make measurable differences. For example, on your way into stores, pick up a few pieces of trash and deposit in the receptacles usually placed at doors. Or take a grocery cart in with you. Randomly smile and make slightly prolonged eye contact with others. Follow up with someone and remind them of something they did, relatively recently, that positively influenced you. Voluntarily reach/help neighbors with little things, i.e. carrying in groceries or moving a large plant. The list is almost endless. All these types of things make the exchanges of community a bit more available, and in my experience, reduce the parallel living characteristic of so many of our communities.Aug 4 2011: If you want to make biggest impact in giving back your society in 15 minutes a day spent that fifteen minutes with your children and teach them the best moral and spiritual lessons to your children and see the change right from your home, because human becomes social when he she grow family with children and raise them, so very first your society starts from being parents, so charity always starts from home and your children should be the first benefiting humans, and providing knowledge to children will be the biggest charity without a single penny! And you will see for yourself that what great change it will make to your children and also they will do the same with other fellow citizens of your country.

Aug 4 2011: Listen to someone who needs a listener.Aug 4 2011: I would suggest that the greatest impact we make to our universe is being aware at the deepest and inclusive levels. To develop that character quality needs conscious discipline. One strategy could be meditating every day for 15 minutes with the intention to listen, and expect that as we become more aware, our impact on our immediate universe will have an impact on the whole.

Aug 4 2011: Great point Douglas, this was the first this that popped into my mnd. Gandhi said 'Be the change you want to see', and in my experience the only true change can happen from the inside. Some methods that I have found highly effective are 'the sedona method' and 'the work by katie byron'. Good luck :)

Aug 7 2011: Jennifer, what a great question you asked, that everyone can relate to. What I'm going to suggest won't take even 15 minutes a day and doesn't cost any money, but can be done all the time through everything you're doing.

To love people by being yourself with them is the cheapest way we can save the world – and probably the most potent too. People underestimate the power of their own innate feelings, passions, honesty from the heart. Not honesty from the ego, which feels bad, but being really very honest about the things you love about people, about your natural feelings of desire and love and appreciation of people, about your natural feelings of unrest towards the things that are wrong with your life, and the lives of those you love. All that is true heart expression.
If you give your heart to people in these ways, as yourself, you'll be amazed at how much of a difference it makes to the people around you, the world around you. People tend to belittle this, belittle the power of their own heart, feelings, consciousness, and sensibilities. But there's so much goodness there, in us. We are sweet inside, we are potent, we are beautiful and everyone loves to see a real heart showing, honestly. It's a relief! Even if the content isn't always pretty itself – like being upset about things in the world. But being honest bridges people together – then people can resonate with one another and find solutions together, or at least find comfort in honesty. And that resurrects people's faith in humanity – just by seeing you as you truly are, instead of some politically correct idea of who you think you should be. You're already amazing. So, show that!
Aug 9 2011: Mati,
Thank you for your comment! Being true to yourself and authentic with others is not always the easiest thing to do all the time. It truly takes courage, understanding, and love. Above all, it starts with self-awareness and feeling your own feelings.
As to how we can give back to our community, it's useful to start with gratitude. Always be thankful... even for the mistakes, challenges, or ''rough times'' in our lives. They are 'gifts' and opportunities to help us grow as human beings.
When someone is truly grateful all the time, his thoughts, words and actions will reflect that. When there's gratitude, humility, and love within, giving back becomes natural overtime. For example, somethings as simple as a beautiful smile coming from the heart can be done quite easily each day!Aug 7 2011: You can spend your time in TED conversation to reach global communities. I am reading you from Afghanistan.

I found volunteering for a local "meals-on-wheels" a perfect fit because I could include my kids. Delivering meals once a week to house bound people in our community was a great opportunity to fill a basic need, but it became so much more - we made friends. At first my kids came along for the ride, then they would ask to carry the meals, and then they began adding things to the delivery - drawings, or some kind of special treat. and before we knew it drop-offs became visits that both my children and many seniors looked forward to.
Aug 4 2011: I would love to include my kids. Great idea!
Bernd Fesel
Aug 3 2011: Jennifer - your question kind of results in long-distance-coaching without knowing too much about your community. Can this really be of help? I will try despite my scepticism because I honour your self-discipline.

First you need an activity that fit the real needs of others - giving back is not a disguised giving yourself.. To find these needs of others in your community set up a blog where your neighboors can post what you can do for them in 15 min. - your neighboors shall only post 15 min. "needs".
Second the neighboor has one duty in return for your help: he / she must write or film or foto the activity and post it as well.
It will take 3 months and you have a network of voluntary helpers - and a website with real needs and real solutions everybody can be inspired from.
And in the end - it will be good for the director of marketing as well. Good luck !

Asad Mahmood
Aug 3 2011: i would suggest you to give full attention to your kids. Being a mother it is the utmost responsibility for you to feed your kids good, to tech them to be good human being, teach them to respect, care and understand. Mother is the first institution for a kid and it affect his/ her whole life. When they grew good human this is your greatest gift to not only to community but the whole world. so my suggestion would be to give full attention to your family. Peace.
- +3
Aug 4 2011: I agree that it's my most important role, but I also want them to see me giving back to the community. I feel like being a great mom is also about showing them how I take care of myself and the world around me. Thanks for the feedback!Aug 3 2011: MeditationAug 3 2011: Jennifer, I applaud your desire to contribute and would suggest that you meditate for the 15 minutes. Learn to discipline your mind, develop the capacity to see things from different perspectives and deepen your compassion. Then you discover ways you can realistically have a long term positive impact on your community. In my experience, the most effective interventions are those that arise from recognizing a need and realizing that one has the resources to respond to it. Meditation prepares your mind/brain to do that.
emma odell
Aug 14 2011: Spend that time with your children and their friends, volunteer at their school. Find a suitable talk or article for discussion groups in their school. The key would be to consistently give that time to them. Maybe in the form of a course for kids on listening,compassion or co operation?Aug 13 2011: Take your kids to visit a nursing home. Just sit and talk with someone for 15 minutes. not only will it make a difference in someone's life but will make a difference in your children's lives as well.

We used to go with my mother once a month with a plate of cookies and sit and talk to whom ever needed to.
All my brothers and I now volunteer doing something in the community.
My oldest brother volunteers at his church, my twin brother fosters children and volunteers with his motorcycle club in the community, I volunteer as a leader in a mother's of preschoolers support group, one of my younger brothers feeds/talks to people on skid row in LA and teachers a "How to stay married" class, and my youngest brother teaches kids music who don't have the money for lessons.
So if you get kids used to stepping out of their comfort zone and volunteer now, they may just end up impacting the community in ways you never imagined and could never do yourself.

Aug 4 2011: Jennifer, you being a mother and with a full time job at that is already making a great impact! It sounds boring but our children is truly our future. Either we raise them to contribute positively in this world or not. This is one way of looking at our problems today, that the people that we see as "causing" problems came from our homes.

I would suggest mothers to be less burdened with economic worries. Motherhood is one of the most important job (if not the most crucial) in the world. It's not even a job. It's LOVE.

Read.Aug 4 2011: It all depends upon "what kind of impact do you want to make". If you are clear with it , then you have completed half of the task. The next step would be to answer the question "where to start". First we have to be clear about what we are going to share with the community. It should create a mental revolution in the minds of people. Whatever we plan should make the person believe and trust our focus is genuine. My idea is to educate poor people with some kind of art that would fetch them money.Training them in making handicrafts or helping them to set up a coffee shop or restaurant. Your task is complete if and only if you can wipe out a tear from "AN EYE".Aug 4 2011: Give to your community whenever you can. Aung San Suu Kyi of Burma said: "when you are feeling helpless, help someone". It doesn't have to be money. Friendliness, kindness, giving the disbles senior across the street a kind word, or a little help. Anything you do like this will come back to you in a positive way.Aug 3 2011: Listen to someone for 15 minutes.Aug 3 2011: Join me!!! I recycle bottles daily and I send them all to the recycling centre over the weekends.
Aug 4 2011: I already recycle! :)
Aug 4 2011: Well, to me, that's already good enough.You do whatever you're able to do and be consistent with it.That can create a big impact too.No need to go further. ;)Aug 15 2011: I think that the biggest impact you can make on your community from where you are standing at, is to put most of your precious time into rising your two kids to be great influencers and world changers. Because families are indeed the building blocks of a community.
Aug 15 2011: Being a mom of two young children ages 2 and 4 who also has the full time job of French and Spanish teacher, i have to respectfully disagree with all the replies to this question that say mother's should focus solely on raising their children. Although I believe that this is the most important job in the world, as a mother myself, I feel it is also important for my children to see that I live a full, well-rounded life which includes living my dream! Yes, parenting well is the most important thing I can do for my young ones, but I believe it's good for my children to see that my husband and I love focusing some time each day on creating the positive change we wish to see in the world of education, which is our passion. Hopefully our children will reap the benefits of our work and will grow up understanding that they can and should follow their passions and focus some energy each day on creating change in the world!Aug 15 2011: Engage someone in a thought provoking conversation such as this one.Aug 15 2011: Walk up your street and pick up litter. This way you get the kids some excersize, and you feel good about what you are doing for the community.
Michael T
Aug 14 2011: Teach how to serve one another for the better. By being a better person, being always positive. Creating small little positively charged persons. From kids to elders, simply teach the power of being positive.Aug 13 2011: I can imagine that it's hard to find some spare time, but I believe it's the smallest things that have the biggest impact; things that don't take time, but rather opportunities you encounter during your day-to-day activities.

With two kids, the best and most valuable thing to do is educate your kids to be kind and loving human beings. Next to that, it's little things like smiling at the cashier, chat with your neighbors, random acts of kindness,...Aug 12 2011: "How can I..?." you already did it by making the right question...questions opens new worlds of meanings..
I am questioning the same to me since one week after I got your message...
Keep questioning us in this way
Alyson Irvin
Aug 12 2011: You can just keep an eye out for someone who needs a hand in your day to day life, and give it to them rather than have a set "way" you spend your 15 minutes a day. Being kind and helpful rubs off, and gets "paid forward." (Studies have backed this up, and also shown that bad habits get paid forward too)
- +1
So, short of time and money, just look for opportunities to pay forward cooperation, kindness, and compassion every single chance you get. It will probably be the biggest bang you can get for 15 minutes a day in term of impacting your community since every act of kindness or helpfulness will multiply itself.Aug 11 2011: FOCUS
"Make from your life a dream, and from a dream, a reality."

N.B.: Do not forget to be optimistic.
Aug 13 2011: Well said, Mario!!! :o)Aug 10 2011: Create a youth group in your community where you get a few parents together and do games, puzzles, arts and crafts, sports etc.
Make it a weekly event. Every Saturday for 3 hours...free. This will help kids develop social skills, logic, reasoning and creativity (through games, puzzles and art) and perhaps some physical activity thanks to some good old sport.
Make it cool. Make it fun. (You're in marketing right? That shouldn't be tough for you!).
This way you can involve and benefit your own kids as well.Aug 8 2011: Practice forgiveness. I don't just mean in some general, vague way. Actually call to mind the offenses and ingratitudes you have suffered during the day, acknowledge that those people are not getting enouigh love, feel for them, and then let them go. This applies to yourself and any of your own shortfalls/mistakes, too.Aug 7 2011: You just read all about our one of the Great Person's & our father of nation "Mohandas Gandhi" .
i think your question is suite to his massage which come from his whole life's inspirational activities...
he had make the biggest impact on all Indian community from his simple living lifestyle without spending moneyAug 5 2011: I think everything becomes with your family. If you cultivate a happy family, that can be spread to your community. :-)Aug 3 2011: Education comes with a cost but not learning.
Now that is something you can share with your community, the learning and that too in a unique way and is of course free of cost ( not considering the internet cost, assumed to be negligible)
And trust me sharing knowledge is not equivalent to filling a bucket, but is like igniting a fire !
1. You can make educational videos full of examples (because humans love the analogy method to learn)but we lack the same in our education systems.
2. you can record educational video for every topic by conditioning them in a form of a story. one story for every topic.
imagine in chemistry( an element is fighting with other element using its chemical properties) What a fun to learn chemistry it could be.
And if your community is quite deprived of basic necessities then you can search on youtube for a channel -PRACTICAL ACTION, and you will learn more than 100 ways to help the economically weaker section with no investment at all...
if you want to take forward this conversation please do mail me at email@example.com with basic details of your resources(which i can suggest how to be used in a free way) + the segment of your community you want to work on.
I would love to be an indirect reason to make a change some place i can not visit.Aug 15 2011: You can help Community thru its members in any place & time you are. A colleague in office is a member of community after work hours; help them please in any form including non-monetary motivation.
Community is not geographically defined; you can help its members during work hours, footpaths, parties, and so forth.Aug 15 2011: Most of the communities have resources, what they need is the idea to make the recipe.
How idea?
Spend your time in TED conversation to give and take ideas for global communities. I am reading you from Afghanistan.Aug 15 2011: Spend time with a lonely elderly person. Spend time with children. Teach a student.Aug 15 2011: you need to let go of some things and choose the right things.
you cant have both things at the same time.Aug 14 2011: Appreciate because its the one power we have. The rest will naturally follow.Aug 13 2011: I am a survivor of much violent abuse. I designed business cards with phone numbers for local and most importantly national agencies to call for help. Abusers isolate and I know from experience how alone and frightened of everyone the victim feels and how much that card can mean. It will be hidden until they find the courage to take that first step.
I distribute them to local hospitals, schools, police and fire departments. I get very discounted printing rates just by asking. I keep them on me and people always have friends they want to share them with. I keep it pretty anonymous. But it does come around. I go to college and I saw a flyer for a woman's support group, one of my cards was on it. Now I have a group available for me and I didn't have to start it!

Another part to this is the Victims' Rights Act. The U.S. Department of Justice is monitoring the impact of the Act on how the victim's are treated by first responders and the court system. The DOJ wants feedback from victims but the problem is most victims are not aware of their rights:

(2) the right to notice of important proceedings involving defendants;
(3) the right to be heard at proceedings involving plea agreements, sentencing, and parole;
(4) the right to confer with the prosecuting attorney prior to the disposition of their cases;

I am also a mother with two young children and I understand how precious time is, however, I believe that 15 minutes carved out of a busy day truly can make a difference for our children!!!
I, personally, am dedicating time to promote the cause that I am most passionate about: World Language education. It is currently being down-sized in my region and I believe that is a big mistake since learning about another culture/language promotes multicultural awareness and multicultural awareness promotes peace!
I'd recommend finding a cause you're passionate about and then explore ways to make it a larger part of your life! As my fortune cookie said last night: One person with a belief is worth 100 with only interest! Once you devote time to promoting what you love most, I think you'll find the work extremely rewarding!
Aug 12 2011: Start up a market garden where growing and selling vegetables, give a job to disabled people that is able to free your time and pay their salaries with the vegetables sold. The community will benefit buying organic food at a discounted price as well as knowing that they are helping disabled people, and you should be able to get your investment back in the long run.

Quite challenging, if I started up anything like that and it worked it would definitely be a living dream for me :)Aug 11 2011: 15 minutes a day, leverage on your strengths or talents. Find them, hone them, share them. This is love - when you stay committed to share the best of yourself for the welfare of others.Aug 9 2011: victimless and insightful practical jokes. A lot of society's "woes" are ultimately based in individual negative psychological patterns that are common to many people. It's much for efficient to help people to solve their own problems, I think, but a lot of people can't see what's wrong.Aug 9 2011: Hi Jennifer, 1) volunteer at a food pantry w/the kids 2) volunteer at a soup kitchen 3) volunteer at a animal shelter - walking dogs and bring the kids along 4) Run a food & clothing drive at your office - every three months - benefiting different organizations every time 5) Environmental clean-up at your local park - with friends and family - great to get out walk and enjoy the scenery 6) Teach English to adults 7) Volunteer at a senior citizen home 8) Volunteer at a hospital 9) Get involved with your local community garden
I hope that these ideas will help! Good luck!Aug 9 2011: For one month just track your time. You will be surprised on how much time you really do have.Aug 8 2011: Hi Jennifer. Here's my idea...
If you spend 15 minutes per day finding ways to learn what your specific community's greatest needs actually are, you'll have the ability to help others, as well as yourself, address in short focused spurts the most critical ones first.
Good luck!

They can turn into a roaring fire or be blown out of existence.
During President Obama's unprecedented trip to Burma – the first-ever visit to that country by an American chief executive – there were a few verbal miscues. Obama called President Thein Sein "President Sein," an awkward, overly familiar reference that most Burmese would cringe at. He mispronounced that name of opposition leader and Nobel Peace Price laureate Aung San Suu Kyi several times. And, most serious of all, he referred more than once to the nation as Myanmar, the name arbitrarily chosen by the military junta 23 years ago, rather than Burma, the name still favored by dissidents and pro-democracy advocates and the "official" name recognized by the United States.
But he got one thing right: The repression of the people of Burma has started to give way to "flickers of progress" that must become a shining star and "must not be extinguished." Little bit of a mixed metaphor there, but the point is clear. Flickers – and it's the fires of freedom we're talking about here – can be carefully nursed into a roaring flame, or they can be snuffed out by the slightest wind.
Encouraging such nascent movements is a tricky business for those of us who already have freedom and think the world will be safer when we have more company. Accept the reforms of the oppressors too eagerly, and they might not be persuaded to go further. Praise the oppressors too lightly, and they might take back what they're already done. Friends of democracy must stand with democratic movements but not gratuitously insult those who hold the keys of power.
So something as apparently trivial as what we call a country can matter a great deal. By still recognizing the historical name Burma, we signal that we do not and cannot support repression. We also hold out the possibility of recognizing the junta's preference of Myanmar if and when we think their reform efforts are serious and long-lasting.
U.S. Deputy National Security adviser Ben Rhodes says Obama's use of phrasing was deliberate – he used Myanmar several times in the presence of President Their Sein and Burma several times while visiting with Aung San Suu Kyi. The president wasn't changing U.S. policy on the spot, Rhodes says, but an attempt to provide a "diplomatic courtesy" to the country's rules and "recognize that different people" call the country "by different names."
Forgive us for saying so, but that is wishy-washy, "lead from behind" nonsense. It is being far too clever in an attempt to straddle way too many fences. We should stand with our Burmese friends. We are still waiting to see if we have any Myanmar friends.

Fifth in Australia, fourth in Malaysia, third in China and now second in Turkey. Mark notched up his best result of the year at Istanbul Park on Sunday to play his part in the first Red Bull Racing one-two of the season. Mark also set the fastest lap of the race for the third successive Grand Prix.
"Second was the maximum I could get today," says Mark. "I lost a load of time behind Nico after he got the jump on me at the start and by the time I'd found a way past him, Seb had enough daylight to control the race from the front.
"It was already clear, however, that Fernando Alonso's race pace was very good in the Ferrari and I had to focus on racing him. We had a good battle."
Mark and Fernando were never more than a few seconds apart for the duration of the 58-lap race. Then, just before half distance, Fernando overtook Mark in the DRS zone along the back straight and it took some Aussie grit for Mark to find a way back past.
"I had a new set of prime tyres for my last stint," says Mark, "and the car felt good. On lap 51 I got a run on Fernando in the DRS zone and we were side-by-side through Turns 12, 13 and 14.
"I was ahead by the time we came onto the start-finish straight, but all the marbles off-line made the racing line very narrow. It was very slippery, but Fernando's not in his first grand prix and we gave each other enough room."
Once again, tyre wear was the major talking point of the race. The rubber was punished through the notoriously demanding Turn 8, through which the cars pull high lateral loads for a period of seven seconds, and there were a total of 80 pitstops in the race – a new record. Mark made four stops.
"With Friday morning being wet," says Mark, "pitstop strategy was difficult to nail down early in the weekend. Despite there being three support races, the track didn't evolve much and, in the end, it was pretty clear that four stops was the fastest way to go. Seven of the top eight finishers made four stops."
This result sees Mark close the gap to Lewis Hamilton, who lies second in the world championship table, to four points and we now head to the Spain-Monaco double-header.
"I'm excited about the next few races," says Mark. "I like Barcelona and Monaco and I hope the car will be good at both tracks. Success breeds success, but we've got to keep working: heads down, arse up."

Making manually formatting of new disk instead of allow do that by DVR's OS ? Because of the 4 KB sector size ?
Posted 21 February 2010 - 11:44 AM
Posted 21 February 2010 - 12:47 PM
I am currently trying
1.) leave partition 1 alone as-is mis-aligned (I am not sure what directv has on there)
2.) delete partition 2 and 3 and make them 4kiB aligned
3.) create filesystem
sudo mkfs.xfs -d agcount=16 -i attr=0 -f -r rtdev=/dev/sda3,extsize=1048576 -l version=1 /dev/sda2
(note I believe are the options supplied are necessary to make the partition compatible with older version of linux the hd-dvr is using)
4.) run xfsdump | xfsrestore
I will let you know how it works out after I am finished copying my old hard-drive.

If he will find a solution, that would benefit all prospective DVR owners.
I would add to that tests - try to stick close to DVR partitioning as you could, usually ppl who wrote internal verification 'correct-incorrect', included tight control of sizes/boundaries/parameters of mkfs. If some bit is off - whole disk will be repartitioned and formatted.
Posted 21 February 2010 - 04:21 PM
I couldn't really return the drive where I bought it and I didn't really trust adding it to my MDADM raid as I don't really trust this early adoption drive. I suspect that in the coming months, we will begin to see less of the 512byte drives and more of the 4kib drives. Hope these posts are able to help someone out.

Let him do that experiment, we will know soon how it would be finished. Perhaps he is smart enough to fight with 'black box' - DTV's Linux flavor.

I would not blame this on the writers of the internal partitioning scheme, this hard-drive does not report the correct sector size via hdparam which is why linux has trouble with this drive. I suppose a firmware update could fix this, though i doubt we will see this from WD and only the next gen will be correct.
Posted 21 February 2010 - 10:22 PM
Does anyone know what directv puts on the first partition? I am going to try an experiment of 4kib aligning partition 1 (517 MB partition) when upgrading to my 2TB drive to see if that is causing the menu lags.
From what I can gather, partition 2 is the xfs data partition and partition 3 is the real time device partition.

So after fighting with this for about a week now and letting it run overnight with no success, it is finally copying.
I didn't realize for all my failures that the hdd activity light wasn't on, realizing that the copy was hung (for hours). When I hit control C it only showed that about 7 mb was dumped. Nowhere close to the 500gb file.
I tried with the following:
0.5.1-1 gparted CD with sata->achi in the bios with no luck,
0.5.1-1 gparted CD with sata->native IDE in the bios with no luck
0.4.6-1 gparted CD with sata->legacy IDE in the bios and it is now working!!
Not sure if it is the gparted version or the translation of the sata drives. On all three, gparted detected the drives, just refused to copy on the first two.
Hope this helps someone else out.
I can confirm I just had the same problem. I was attempting to copy from a 1TB drive to another of the same size and after an overnight run it still didn't complete. No LED's on these drives to tell what was happening, although they were cool to the touch so I suspect there was no data transfer going on! I restarted the copy and added the -p but it didn't change anything (no progress reports). I noticed each time after canceling it seems to only report completing about 10mb. This was with GPARTED 0.5.2-1
So based on the suggestions here, I downgraded to 0.4.6-1 and voila, it seems to have started working (at least it is reporting progress whereas before it wasn't). No changes to the BIOS setup. A 84% full 1TB drive is on track to take 6.5 hours (based on the current progress). This is about 35MB/s assuming 840GB data which seems right.
The lesson of the story is to use the older version of GPARTED to do this job.
Thanks for everyone's suggestions!

[BA whole bunch of stuff will scroll on the screen and the last thing it will say is restoring non-directory files.
12. You wait. Patience is a virtue. It will sit at this screen for a long time as it copies the files. There is no progress bar. Overall time will vary depending on how full your drive was. My buddy's drive had 3% free. It took 2 hours and 45 minutes to copy all the data. You'll feel a little reassured looking at the hard drive LEDs, knowing that something is actually happening.
OK, made to the restoring non-directory files without a hitch.
Then nothing. No HDD LED's, no drive noise, nothing. Both drives are 1.5G and this was a practice run. One drive had about 10 hours on it, the other had 5 minutes so I would know for sure which drive copied since both were the same size. Let it process overnight for over 16 hours. Nothing.
Any suggestions?
Edit: OK, loaded up 0.4.6-1 instead of 0.5.2-1. Worked great except one thing I was not expecting. I kept the shows on both drives. The 10 hours copied over, but the 5 minutes was still there and watchable.
So now that I have it working, tomorrow night I do it for real on my 750G to 1.5T drives.

Success. Everything went like it was supposed to and shortly after I got home this evening, I had a fully copied drive and all my shows played. Now have 60% free instead of 12%. That should do me for a while.
The interesting thing is the old drive, which I had to previously remove from a Free Agent Pro enclosure and put in an MX-1, was HOT. Almost too hot to touch. My new WD drive was warm, but no where near the temp of the Seagate. No wonder those FAP's failed if those drives run that hot out in the open.

Hard Drive Dock
and connect it to my laptop using USB and copy my DVR drive to a new one?
Posted 01 April 2010 - 07:50 PM
Posted 01 April 2010 - 08:34 PM
If you want use both drives in the same dock, you'll see substantial speed decrease.
Was this in response to my question? If so, why would both in the same dock cause a DECREASE in speed? Should I get 2 single docks?
Would I be better off getting something like
2 port Serial ATA card
to connect the 2 bay dock?

Gallery: Beautiful Bamboo Living Houses Take Two Days to Build
Our fascination with prefab buildings knows no bounds — but add bamboo to the mix and you've really got our attention. These two beautiful houses in Hawaii were recently built using bamboo as the main building material. The total construction time? Two days.
The Hawaiian houses were designed by David Sands of Bamboo Living Homes. The owners decided on Bamboo because it is lightweight, incredibly strong, and a rapidly renewable material. The company designed the houses, assembled them in Vietnam, and then shipped them to Hawaii to be set up on-site. The company has been building bamboo houses for 14 years, but these two were by far the fastest builds they've every assembled.
Sustainably-sourced bamboo is one of the best green building materials around. It's as strong as timber, grows quicker, and looks fantastic. Combining this versatile material with prefab construction strikes us as a great green idea.

Why not use the bamboo thats grown in Hawaii? How sustainable is shipping pre-fab houses from one place that grows bamboo to another place that grows bamboo?
May 28, 2010 at 12:46 am
Love it, and starting to learn hoe to build my bambu home at my home town, Bandung Indonesia.
May 22, 2010 at 2:31 am
Looks fantastic….great use of sustainable materials….
Built in 2 days…amazing!

These are so beautiful, and I can't believe they're made with bamboo! What a brilliant idea.

INDIANAPOLIS—Assistant Democratic Leader Jean D. Breaux (D-Indianapolis) proposed several bills during the recently adjourned legislative session that were approved by the General Assembly and are expected to be signed into law by the governor. Most new laws will become effective July 1, 2014. The initiatives address minority health, neonatal abstinence syndrome, cultural sensitivity training and athlete safety.
Senate Enrolled Act (SEA) 139, authored by Sen. Breaux, amends the definition of "attendant care services" to include providing assistance for the taking of medications that include controlled substances and prescription drugs. Current law only allows a person under contract of a licensed home health agency or a personal services agency to assist a client in need of controlled substances. The act will therefore reduce the burden for the client by eliminating the need for a licensed or certified health care provider to visit the home or facility where the client is located. SEA 139 also removes the July 1, 2014 expiration date on the distribution of donations made by individuals registering motor vehicles who want to donate money to promote the procurement of organs for anatomical gifts. The collection process would remain in place, as would the distribution of donated funds to the Indiana Donation alliance Foundation and Donate Life Indiana.
Sen. Breaux co-authored SEA 343, which requires law enforcement agencies to provide training on cultural diversity and U nonimmigrant Visas (U-Visas). The use of the U-Visa will benefit those who do not hold legal status in the United States and are victims of violent crimes. An understanding of the U-Visa process by law enforcement officers is important as certification of a victim's cooperation by an officer is a prerequisite to a victim's application for U-Visa status with the federal government. U-Visas would not serve as a shortcut to citizenship, but instead a vehicle for cooperation. Law enforcement agencies would be educated on the purpose of U-Visas and their role as an authorizer. Law enforcement officers would only be liable for indicating whether a victim was cooperative or are likely to be helpful in the future.
Also co-authored by Sen. Breaux, SEA 408 establishes a definition for neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) as the various adverse effects that occur in a newborn infant who was exposed to addictive, illegal, or prescription drugs while in the mother's womb. The act requires the Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) to meet with representatives of various hospital and pediatric associations to study and make recommendations on issues concerning NAS. IDOH officials would then be required to report to the Indiana General Assembly information including accumulated data and statistics on NAS. Finally, SEA 408 requires that before June 1, 2015, the IDOH may establish one or more pilot programs with hospitals that consent to participate in the programs to implement appropriate and effective models for NAS identification, data collection, and reporting.
SEA 397 was co-authored by Sen. Breaux and requires the office of Medicaid Policy and Planning to reimburse in a specified manner for a specialized or nonstandard wheelchair for a child recipient who resides in a nursing facility.
Sen. Breaux sponsored HEA 1358, which extends the expiration date for the Office of Minority Health from July 1, 2014 to July 1, 2017. Established in 1991, the Office of Minority Health funds minority health programs and expands, develops, and implements community awareness of minority health problems. The office is also charged with conducting research within minority populations as well as monitoring minority health progress. In addition, the act requires a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder at any age to be reported to the birth problems registry (current law provides reporting be made before a child's fifth birthday). HEA 1358 allows not more than 50 percent of the monies in the Spinal Cord and Brain Injury Fund to be used to develop a statewide trauma system. Lastly, the act requires the state Department of Health to adopt rules concerning the regulation of facilities for treatment of traumatic brain injuries, and to make recommendations to the Legislative Council and Health Finance Commission concerning food handling law changes.
Beginning January 1, 2015, SEA 1391, sponsored by Sen. Breaux, establishes the Community Living Pilot Program until June 30, 2017. The act sets forth eligibility requirements to participate in the program, and requires the Division of Aging to administer the program, establish a cost participation schedule, and establish certain standards for the program. In addition, the act requires the Office of the Secretary of Family and Social Services to provide the following reports to the General Assembly: a report concerning nursing facility beds, a report concerning and long term care, and a report to the Budget Committee and the General Assembly concerning any risk-based managed care program for specified Medicaid recipients.
Sen. Breaux also sponsored HEA 1290, legislation pertaining to the health of student athletes. The act adds athletic trainers to the definition of "health care provider" for purposes of laws concerning hospitals and public health measures. It requires both the Department of Education and the Commission on Higher Education to disseminate guidelines, information sheets, and forms to school corporations, charter schools, public schools, accredited nonpublic schools and postsecondary educational institutions to inform and educate coaches, student athletes, and parents and legal guardians of student athletes of the nature and risk of sudden cardiac arrest. Among other provisions, the act requires instruction in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and use of an automated external defibrillator for students.
Sen. Breaux represents Indiana Senate District 34 which includes the near eastside of Indianapolis including portions of Center, Washington, Lawrence and Warren Townships. For more information on Sen. Breaux's legislative agenda or other State Senate business call 1-800-382-9467 or visit www.IN.gov/S34.

The feisty British press, especially The Guardian, The Telegraph and The Independent, try their mainstream best to report the machinations of G20 leaders struggling with the European economic crisis. Meanwhile Zero Hedge is stating flatly that the problem is a "zombie economy."
As someone who barely knew what sovereign debt was a few months ago, I admit how difficult it is to decode the barrage of daily posts from Zero Hedge's chief contributor 'Tyler Durden,' an alias borrowed from the name for the lead character(s) in the movie Fight Club. Durden's posts routinely keep multiple plates such as leverage and liquidity spinning alongside unexplained acronyms like EFSF (European Financial Stability Facility) and BTP's (Buono del Tesoro Poliennale), which are either some kind of Italian bonds or a mushroom polenta.
Reading Zero Hedge requires keeping Google search open in a separate browser window. Even Rolling Stone's resident gonzo Matt Taibbi, who relied on Durden for much of his analysis of Wall Street's crimes, admits that at first, "I didn't understand a word he was saying."
But Taibbi also insists that learning to figure out what Zero Hedge is telling us is worth the effort. In his blog, Taibbi wrote, "I think there are a great many things about him that represent an enormous improvement over traditional media, and a real rebuke to the thinking of most traditional editors."
A non-American original
I will now cherry-pick revelations about Durden that come primarily from the Joe Hagan's profile in New York Magazine in 2009. In that piece, Hagan reveals that Zero Hedge's blogging amanuensis Tyler Durden is actually Dan Ivandjiiski, a 30ish Bulgarian immigrant who lost his right to deal in stocks a few years ago because of insider trading who then became a hedge fund analyst.
An unreconstructed doomtard, the incredibly prolific Durden might have continued to blog in obscurity but then the 2008 meltdown persuaded people that the cracks in the financial system run deeper than the so-called experts are ever willing to admit.
Durden also identifies the enemy, assigning the role of the all-pervasive Illuminati in his contemporary doomsday conspiracy theory to the ubiquitous alumni of Goldman Sachs. After decoding Durden, Taibbi tagged 'Golden Slacks' as a prime example of our contemporary financial industry's "great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money."
Hagan argues that Zero Hedge solidified its reputation when some of its theories about Goldman proved true. In 2009, Durden kept hammering Goldman with allegations that the firm was shaving illegal profits from high-speed trading. Traditional traders pooh-poohed the allegations. Someone on the financial cable channel CNBC reportedly said Zero Hedge lives in "dark and cowardly corners of the blogosphere." Yet New York Senator Chuck Schumer asked the Security and Exchange Commission to investigate so-called flash trading based at least in part on Durden's reporting.
Economics is not only the dismal science, but a dubious discipline. In his critique of the high church of finance, Durden was beginning to look a lot like Galileo.
Losing my taste for the 'experts'
I already knew about Zero Hedge from monitoring the conspiracy forum Godlike Productions. The site's quirky owner Trinity takes great pride in assembling a slurry of links that range from the latest about chemtrails and space aliens among us to occasional gems from sites like Zero Hedge. A posting there in the spring of 2008 sent me to the Federal Reserve charts that go back decades. The withdrawals of billions of dollars by unnamed financial institutions looked so dramatic that I scoured the business press for answers, but there was no mention anywhere of what was happening.
I asked a colleague who had been an executive at Dow Jones what the numbers meant. He called friends still working in the industry, and they didn't know.
I was alarmed enough to take as much of my money as possible out of my TIAA-CREF retirement account and deposit it in CD's in an IRA at my local credit union, thereby avoiding the drubbing that many of my faculty peers are still reeling from.
In his book Black Swan, Nassim Nicholas Taleb tells the story of the turkey (us) who loves its benevolent masters (the bankers) because of the wonderful food and water we are given each day. That is, until a few days before Thanksgiving when our monied overlords show us both their hatchets and their real intentions.
Reading outsider economic bloggers like Zero Hedge helped save me from having my head chopped off, so I began making the site part of my daily apocalyptic news fix. Its references may be arcane, but Wikipedia reports the site now attracts 330,000 unique visitors a month.
Deconstructing today
So what is Zero Hedge telling us now? In the two years since Hagan's article appeared, Zero Hedge has continued to gain street cred with its twin themes that (1) we are fucked and that (2) Goldman Sachs is literally and figuratively behind most of our screwing.
If you are looking for signs today that Goldman Sachs is the root of all money evil, Zero Hedge reminds us that you need go no further than the recent collapse of the aptly named MF Global. When the firm nosedived into the ground last week with former U.S. Senator and Goldman Sachs alumnus Jon Corzine at the joystick, only $40 billion or so went poof, compared to $600 billion when Lehman Brothers evaporated in 2008. But adding assault to injury, the firm cannot seem to put its hands on $633 million of customer funds that were supposed to remain safely shielded from any risk.
Employing what some would call typical Goldman doublespeak, out of one side of his mouth Corzine was righteously warning government officials that 30-to-1 leverage was too risky. Out of the other, however, he had to admit that MF Global was leveraged at 33-to-1, with its investments concentrated primarily in European holdings.
Even cleaning up the mess will be difficult since our entire system is choked with former Goldman bloodsuckers. Gary Gensler, head of the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, had to recuse himself from investigating the MF Global debacle because he and Corzine worked together at Goldman years ago.
Burn, baby, burn
In Durden's view, a system overrun with Goldman's evil spawn requires a worldwide cleansing fire hot enough to fry the entire global financial casino so that it cannot rise again like a phoenix. Even a guest post by Charles Hugh Smith says the only positive thing that can be said about that zombie economy is that it will inevitably implode.
We are told that liquidating the overhang of bad debt, leverage and hedges would 'destroy the world as we know it.' The truth is that keeping the zombie system from expiring and covering up the corruption with propaganda is what's actually destroying the world as we know it. Thus the collapse of the current financial system of central banks, pathological Wall Street and insolvent banks would be the greatest possible good and the greatest possible positive for the global economy and its participants.
Zero Hedge's posters see the global financial system as Wile E. Coyote at the moment he is suspended next to the cliff, feet pedaling, just before he looks down.
Durden has no doubt we have already gone too far off the cliff to save ourselves. For him, the only question is when we will crash to earth, not if. Durden seems eager to end the suspense sooner rather than later because only then can we figure out how to create an economic system that is not fatally infected with both high risk and high debt.
It is easy to paint Durden and Zero Hedge as inherently conservative but perhaps not in the partisan sense. You don't see anti-Obama screeds but you do sense a fundamental rejection of modern financial instruments as baroque excrescences so ornate that they cannot avoid collapsing under their own weight.
Zero Hedge might well be the perfect blogger for the 99 percenters. More than most, Durden piles up the proof that the system is rigged to bail out the wealthy and fail everyone else.
Like Durden, "Black Swan" author Taleb has refused to become a media darling, speaking instead through his writing. He recently co-wrote an article with Mark Spitznagel called The Great Bank Robbery in which he calculates that the executives who work for the banks that have filings with the SEC will pay themselves roughly $5 trillion by the time we reach the end of the decade where we now stand at midpoint.
That $5 trillion dollars is not money invested in building roads, schools, and other long-term projects, but is directly transferred from the American economy to the personal accounts of bank executives and employees. Such transfers represent as cunning a tax on everyone else as one can imagine. It feels quite iniquitous that bankers, having helped cause today's financial and economic troubles, are the only class that is not suffering from them – and in many cases are actually benefiting.
Like Occupy Wall Street, Zero Hedge and the doomsayers are sounding the alarm that the system is corrupt. No matter which party is in power, it is designed to bail out the super-rich and leave everyone else in peril.
Durden and his ilk may be right that the only way to purge the system of its pervasive rot is by lighting the match that sends the entire global system up in flames. If so, let's hope the Occupy movement has by then had the chance to mature enough so that it can build a better one in its place.

Classes begin on January 5, 2015 and end January 23, 2015.
Oftentimes the fall and spring semesters can be overly hectic for students – a full-time course load, student club responsibilities, work, internship commitments, and social obligations. This busy time forces students to focus mainly on their academic progress which doesn't always allow freedom to explore a new interest or take advantage of the many cultural resources that originally drew them to New York City.
January Term provides an array of courses enabling students to earn academic credit (major, minor, or elective) in courses that are in high–demand, to accelerate degree completion and to concentrate on personal interests.
The 2015 Summer in NYC Visiting Student application will be available on February 1, 2015. Learn more »

Step Brothers
Brennan Huff, a sporadically employed thirty-nine-year-old, lives with his mother, Nancy. Dale Doback, a terminally unemployed forty-year-old lives with his father, Robert. When Robert and Nancy marry and move in together, Brennan and Dale are forced to live with each other as step brothers. As their narcissism and downright aggressive laziness threaten to tear the family apart, these two middle-aged, immature, overgrown boys will orchestrate an insane, elaborate plan to bring their parents back together. To pull it off, they must form an unlikely bond that maybe, just maybe, will finally get them out of the house.

Comments about Logitech® Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for iPad® Tablets:
This keyboard is perfect! I am currently typing this review with it :) It is so easy to use and makes the iPad much more user friendly, as I and my family have had trouble typing long emails or reports on the iPad's touch screen keyboard. It rarely needs to be charged so long as you turn it off when not in use, and it makes the screen seem bigger because the keyboard screen doesn't pop up to take up half of the screen space. This keyboard has keys that are big enough to type fast on. The only complaint I have is that the delete button is a little small, but it might just take a little getting used to. All in all, this is a great product that I would definitely recommend!

Comments about Logitech® Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for iPad® Tablets:
This Logitech aluminum-backed keyboard/case is the strongest protection you can get for your iPad, as well as providing a Bluetooth keyboard with "office-like" keys. You then see the whole screen without the virtual keyboard taking up most of the space. When you have finished using it, simply separate the two pieces and set the keyboard face down on top of the iPad. It magnetically clicks in with a strip like a Smart Cover. It looks great, all wrapped in aluminum, and I feel safe taking my iPad with me everywhere. The only other change I made was to purchase a nice snug-fitting leather sleeve for the combo. The back of the iPad and the keyboard keep from getting marked or dented in my purse or briefcase, and the aluminum covers look as good as they day they were purchased. Every time I use it, someone asks where I got the great keyboard/cover. This is my second iPad, and of all the keyboards and covers I have tried, this is most assuredly the best, in terms of quality, protection and style.

Environmental InformationContrary to the common idea, products in plastic materials are highly ecological for the reason that they can be recycled (with the exception of polyurethane, little used in Kartell products). Thus, Kartell products can be easily recycled. In order to simplify the recycling process, the various components of Kartell products can be easily separated and reduced to elements made of one single material. Moreover, the plastic parts of each product carry, clearly printed, an identification mark to determine the correct classification of the different kinds of plastic and their effective recycling.

An ongoing series of articles on songs & performances of the early Grateful Dead.
August 17, 2009
1967 Dead Tapes
The reason we have so few shows from '67 is because Bear was not with the band. He visited them at Rio Nido in September, and recorded the 9-3-67 show, but otherwise most our other shows of the year were haphazardly captured by other anonymous tapers. We even have the earliest Dead AUD tapes ("1-27-67" and 9-15-67), though both are for fanatical Dead freaks only.
Bear started taping the Dead from the early Acid Test days, but split from them after the July '66 Vancouver shows (which is why there are so few recordings from the second half of '66) - he returned in June '68 when the Carousel closed. We have some of his June '68 recordings (undated) in this set:
The first misdated show we come to is 1-27-67....immediately when we notice the twenty-minute Viola Lee, the half-hour Alligator>Caution, the swirling New Potato, it's obvious this show can't be from January!
In fact, it has an odd correlation with 10-22-67 - Morning Dew and New Potato Caboose are the same versions as on the 10-22-67 SBD, though from an AUD source. (The rest of the setlists don't match, though, which is puzzling.)
There is also another link to October....the surest way of dating many 1967 shows is to listen to the Alligator. The earliest versions start with Jerry's guitar intro and go straight into the jam after the song. After Mickey Hart joins, we can hear a change in 11-10-67 and the fall '67 studio session - Alligator now has a drum intro, and a drum solo after the vocals.
This "Avalon" Alligator is at a midway point - it starts with the drum intro, but dives into the jam after the vocals without a drum solo (a drum break comes a few minutes later). There are also two drummers. So it has to come from after 9-15-67 (the last version with the guitar intro), and after 9-29-67 when Mickey joined, but before 11-10-67....basically sometime in October.
Our next problem show is 5-5-67 - it's a partial tape and only a few songs are here, so it's harder to pin down, but I don't think it's from May. (Early Deadbases claimed it was 9-29-67, which was nonsense.) We have a couple clues that it's from later in the year:
The Dead are supposed to have started playing Alligator in June, and this is similar to the other early versions from 6/18, 8/4, 9/3 and 9/15 - it starts with Jerry's guitar intro, not with the drum intro. (It also resembles the 8/4 and 9/3 Alligators in that it stops without going into Caution.) The New Potato also has a much longer jam than the 8-4-67 New Potato - I think 8/4 is the earliest New Potato we have, since it seems less developed.
I also hear only one drummer here, which would place the show before Mickey Hart's arrival.
So my guess is that "5-5-67" is actually from August/September '67 sometime.
https://archive.org/details/gd1967-05-05.126263.sbd.wolfe-smith.flac24 [a recent upgrade]
There has also been a dispute over whether the 6-18-67 Alligator>Caution actually comes from that date, since Bill Graham speaks from the stage after Caution. But it is from Monterey. Not only is the general sound & vibe the same, but it has the same rotten harmonica player who was in Cold Rain & Snow! (He's not Pigpen, by the way - Pigpen's mike was dead for the start of Alligator - but he might have been familiar with the songs since he seems to be trying to play in the right spots.)
I think this is the earliest Alligator we have. What puzzles me is that the Alligator blazes into Caution.... The next few Alligators all just stop with the vocal reprise; we don't have another Alligator>Caution until 9-15-67.
https://archive.org/details/gd1967-06-18.115858.sbd.kaplan.flac16 [a recent upgrade - the older copies are incomplete and lesser quality]
There are a few other corrections to make in the 1967 files as well:
The "12-5-66" studio session on the Archive actually has a few instrumentals from the first album sessions in January '67 - Minglewood Blues, Cream Puff War, Sitting On Top Of The World, I Know You Rider, Cold Rain & Snow, and King Bee (which is mistakenly listed as The Same Thing). This tape runs too fast, and a couple instrumentals from these sessions are not yet available digitally.
The Morning Dew on our 1-14-67 tape is clearly not from that date, but seems to be from an unknown 1968 show. (See the first comment below.)
The "2-12-67" Smokestack Lightning>King Bee is actually from the 11-19-66 show.
This raises another issue, though - is 11-19-66 actually the correct date? Apparently Dick Latvala said that show was actually from 3-17-67 Winterland! I haven't seen any other confirmation; but it makes sense to me, since the playing in that show seems too developed for November '66.
For now, though, I'll leave that show in its accepted place of 11-19-66, lacking any other proof.
Neal Cassady's rap with the Dead on 7-23-67 (previously available in part as a flexidisc in Hank Harrison's 1973 Dead Book) has had a treacherous history on the Archive - an older copy from the acid-test compilations included only two minutes of it, and an 8-minute portion of the disc was filler in the 11-10-67 show.
Fortunately, a longer 16-minute copy was recently found, which includes not only the full Cassady rap, but also, at the end, the start of the earliest live version of Lovelight we have:
There's a studio session labeled "10-20-67" on the Archive (which has an incomplete Viola Lee from 1-14-67 as filler) - but a better-quality copy of the same session is here:
This date has also circulated as 11-19-67, but the actual date is unknown. I believe it is an October '67 studio session - there are two drummers, and the Other One sounds earlier to me than the 10-22-67 show.
A couple tracks are not from this session: Smokestack Lightning is a fragment from the 11-19-66 show, and Lovelight is from a mid-'67 rehearsal tape.
An alternate, better take of the Other One suite from these sessions is available as a filler track here:
And finally, "10-31-67 Winterland" is a fake; the music is actually from 11-10/11-67.
So to sum up - here is the list of our actual 1967 Dead shows, in accurate order:
1-14-67 Be-In -
3-17-67? (possibly the right date for our "11-19-66" tape) -
3-18-67 Winterland -
6-18-67 Monterey -
7-23-67 Straight Theater -
8-4/5-67 Toronto (2 songs each) -
"5-5-67" (Aug/Sept) -
9-3-67 Rio Nido (and a bit from 9-4) -
9-15-67 Hollywood Bowl AUD -
"1-27-67" AUD (October) -
10-22-67 Winterland -
11-10/11-67 Shrine (the first two shows recorded for the Anthem album)
http://rhino.edgeboss.net/download/rhino/gdead/30days/2013/day27_g48baxb_alligatorcaution.mp3 (alternate Alligator>Caution from 11-10-67)
[New transfers of Healy's reels of these shows have recently been added to the Archive, however I'm not sure if they're actually upgrades.]
Aside from the studio sessions listed earlier, there are also a few other pieces of interest from 1967:
Feb/March '67 - This is a long interview with Garcia from sometime before the first album came out in March. The sound isn't very good, but it makes me wonder why there aren't more interviews on the Archive.
April '67 - Garcia & Lesh appear on a KMPX radio show to chat with DJ Tom Donahue and play various music they've been listening to - this show is kind of like a Phil & Jerry mix-tape.
4-8-67 - A show on KPIX-TV covers the San Francisco music scene with songs from the Grateful Dead, the Wildflowers, and Quicksilver Messenger Service - Ralph Gleason interviews Garcia, and the Dead do a short live Cream Puff War.
Unknown date, mid-'67 - 45 minutes of a Lovelight rehearsal session, clearly from before its live debut. (Discussed in the comments below.)
11-14-67 - Studio outtakes of Dark Star & Born Cross-Eyed. (The Born Cross-Eyed might not be an outtake, but the actual single version, since it has a bit of Feedback from a live show added as a surprise coda at the end.)
https://archive.org/details/gd1967-11-14.116370.sbd.motb-0174.flac24 [a recent upgrade, much better than the older copy]

Charlie Miller has noted that the 1-14-67 Morning Dew is actually not from 1-14-67.ReplyDelete
The tape source is different; it has different sound quality; the band's playing is different than in the other songs; he hears two drummers in this Dew. (The crowd at the end also sounds like an 'indoor' audience to me.)
In fact, I don't think it's from '67 at all - not only does it sound much more advanced than the other Dews from this year, it's also conspicuously lacking Pigpen's organ in the mix (which we have in all the other early Dews I think), and it's much longer. Late '68 would be my guess...
I forgot to mention this earlier - but in the Taper's Section, David Lemieux noted that the Dead played for a week in Toronto in '67 (July 31-August 5).ReplyDelete
"Unfortunately there are reels in the vault clearly marked with the date and venue of some of these shows, which have been scratched out, as the tapes were recorded over."
Heartbreaking news! But sadly typical of how the Dead treated their tapes at the time... 9/4/67 was apparently also taped over except for the very end of Caution. And of course the Anthem shows in early '68 were chopped to pieces in the studio when preparing the album... The Dead little thought anyone would want to hear these shows years later!
Still, I wonder what was recorded on top of those Toronto tapes....
(A badly cut fragment of Lindy survives on the 8/4 reel, though it's omitted from most circulating tapes. A couple of the Jefferson Airplane's shows from the Toronto run also survive.)
As noted in the "Crowded Dead Stage" post, the 7/23/67 tape of Neal Casady rapping with the Dead is just an excerpt from a longer tape, presumably held by Hank Harrison. It would be nice to hear the whole thing...ReplyDelete
Harrison included this recording as an acetate flexidisc with his 1973 Dead Book, with some notes:
"The audience, consisting mostly of young people from Haight Street, did not know who he was and were jeering him from the floor.
This recording is an edited version of a longer performance. The Grateful Dead are in the background making Prankster music and the totality is reminiscent of the acid tests."
I was checking the "10-20-67" studio session to see if I could pin down an accurate date for it. All we know for sure is that it comes from the Sep/Oct '67 Anthem sessions.ReplyDelete
Fortunately we can compare it to a nearby show - 10/22/67.
If you check the Lovelight from the studio session, it's obviously earlier than the 10/22 show. Pigpen & the band sing it rather differently and it's instrumentally not as developed - there are a lot of parts that are just missing in the studio cut, and Jerry in particular seems not to have figured out his soloing.
The Other One from the studio session also sounds earlier to me than the 10/22 show - it's very stodgy and uncertain (and short), whereas on 10/22 they burn it up.
One interesting thing about the Lovelight is that our earliest Lovelight, from 8/5, is also performed rather differently from the studio version. Maybe they decided the call & response or Pigpen's vamping wouldn't work in the studio? Hard to explain why it would've devolved.
Another thing is that there are two drummers in the studio session, so it has to be after 9/29, when Mickey first played with the band. Notice that the studio Alligator has the long drum break after the verses, which was not in the earlier live versions. So I think this is almost certainly a mid-October studio session.
One peculiar thing about 10-22-67 is that I only hear one drummer. Does anyone else hear two? I hear two drummers in the "1-27-67" Alligator>Caution - and, after a few minutes of jamming after the Alligator verses, they do stop for a drum break similar to the studio session where Garcia sings "Alligator runnin' round my door." So I think that show is definitely also from October '67.
You can tell from all this what a mess trying to date a 1967 tape is!
Checking 5/5/67 again, I'm pretty sure there's only one drummer throughout, so it's definitely pre-Mickey. (Deadbase used to assert that there were two drummers in Alligator, hence the show must be 9/29/67, but that was false. Could be the right month, though I lean towards August '67.)ReplyDelete
Anyway, I should also mention here that there's some debate about whether our 11/19/66 tape actually comes from 3/17/67. Latvala claimed it did, and the traditional tapedate aside, I think it's a strong claim.
I discussed that in the comments to the "1966 Songs" post, on 2/15/11 and 1/1/12.
More on the October '67 studio session:ReplyDelete
After a close comparison, the mysterious studio Smokestack Lightning is simply the 11/19/66 live version again, but in mono, slowed-down, and faded-out early.
Strange how many times that 11/19/66 Smokestack surfaced on tapes as a 1967 studio track from one date or another!
The Lovelight is also not from the fall '67 Anthem sessions. It's the longest take from the Lovelight rehearsal session, which was commonly dated 11/19/67. That date is flagrantly wrong, though. After listening to the full rehearsal session, these Lovelights are clearly earlier & more primitive than even the 8/5/67 live version, which is much stronger and more fully worked-out.
So I would guess that the Lovelight session may have taken place in July '67 or so.
That raises another question of where & why the Dead were taping a rehearsal session in summer '67, but I have no idea...
The Other One & Alligator>Caution remain safely in the October '67 sessions.
A better studio take of the Other One suite has surfaced as a filler track in these February '71 studio rehearsals:
- AnonymousNovember 28, 2013 at 2:38 PM
The new '30 Days Of The Dead' day 27 has an Alligator>Caution credited to 1967-11-10 which is not the same as the one we have had for ages credited to either the 10th (with a splice) or the 11th. The yelps at the start are different and so is Jerry's post drums 'Alligator running round my door' stuff with Bobby 'mopping up my floor' on the new one. The sound quality is better too.ReplyDelete
By the way, I would push those Lovelight rehearsals back to late 66 or early 67. The earliest Lovelight we have is the riffing behind Neal Cassady at the Straight 1967-07-23. Jerry's guitar leads on the rehearsal to me sound more like the late 66/early 67 stuff we have than summer 67 (admittedly not much). There is so much missing from that period that we can extrapolate far too far from flimsy evidence and we will almost certainly never know, but that's my flimsy extrapolation.
Yes, a new Alligator>Caution!ReplyDelete
Since this is credited to 11/10, the one we had must be from 11/11. The stereo sound is far superior to the circulating mostly-mono Shrine tapes.
All we know of the Lovelight rehearsal is that it has to predate 7/23/67; and my guess is it's after 3/18/67. But since (other than the short Monterey set) we don't have any Dead show between mid-March and early August '67, there's no telling just when Lovelight debuted in that period.
This post could use some updating... The complete Lovelight rehearsal tape, and the longest known 7/23/67 tape (with our first live Lovelight) are on the Archive now. Some other links can be updated too; a much better copy of the studio Dark Star has appeared, along with new transfers of the Shrine shows.
This post has been updated.ReplyDelete

We watch (and are #obsessed) with Mad Men for many reasons: The clothing (which got us thinking, "Hey, I wouldn't look so bad in a long, pleated skirt!"), the makeup (which started our bold-brow kick), the gripping dialogue (which gave us, "That's life…one minute you're on top of the world, the next minute some secretary is running you over with a lawn mower."), and of course, Jon Hamm (the gift that keeps on giving). So, as we began to psych ourselves up for this Sunday's season five premiere, we started to think about all of the Sterlings, Coopers, Drapers, and Pryces (and Peggys and Campbells and Joans) in our midst.Naturally, we answered our curiosity with exclusive photo shoots and interviews with some of the top ad execs in Manhattan. And though you may not know David Droga, Ian Reichenthal, Scott Vitrone, and Neal Arthur's faces as well as you now know January Jones' mug, you're definitely familiar with their work. These are the creative geniuses behind the commercials you don't fast-forward, whose print ads are so pretty you use them as wallpaper. Sure, they may not knock back quite as many Old-Fashioneds as the guys on TV, but they've still got

The Portland Water Bureau continues to investigate the cause of total coliform bacteria in the drinking water system in Southwest Portland.
Finding total coliforms in our water at this time of year is not unusual following warm summer temperatures and decreasing water demands. Total coliforms occur naturally in our environment. When they show up in our water, they are a good indicator to check our system for possible contamination or operational issues.
What's important to know is that the water continues to be safe to drink.
The Portland Water Bureau has extensively sampled this area to test for E coli, a sign of fecal contamination. All of these samples have been negative for E coli. The Water Bureau also collects more than 240 routine water quality samples a month around the city to test for total coliforms and E.coli. To date, there have been no indications of fecal contamination in the water system.
We will continue to implement operational actions to get this older water out of the system. The bureau will also continue to consult with State and local health officials.
The Portland Water Bureau appreciates the patience of Southwest Portland customers while we ensure they continue to receive safe drinking water.
