Saints' Jimmy Graham Ruled Tight End, Not Wide Receiver
Jimmy Graham ruled a TE: http://t.co/Qdc0ujwex5 pic.twitter.com/Hkmw9ZS7b3— NFL (@nfl) July 2, 2014
An arbitrator has sided with the New Orleans Saints in ruling that Jimmy Graham can only be considered a tight end for the purposes of his franchise tag designation.
The ruling Wednesday by Stephen Burbank is a setback for Graham, agent Jimmy Sexton and the NFL Players Association, who'd filed a grievance arguing that Graham was used as a wide receiver often enough to qualify for the more lucrative receiver tag.
NFL franchise tags, which allow teams to keep one prized free agent, was set this year $7 million for tight ends and $12.3 million for receivers.
The NFLPA says it's reviewing the ruling and will advise Graham on his options, which could include an appeal.
Graham has skipped Saints offseason practices while holding out for a new contract.

What if you could follow a program that, like in so many other books, helped you get results in only a couple of weeks? As with these other programs, you could lose weight, attract more beneficial relationships, and find a greater state of balance in very little time. But what if, on top of all that, the program helped you create not just a fast change, but a permanent one? What if you had a plan that has all the benefits of a short-term overhaul but with the guidance necessary to ensure that it's the last program you'll ever need?
Over two thousand years ago, the Indian sage Patanjali compiled what we now know as The Yoga Sutras, a concise text that forms the basis of everything we know today about the philosophy of the yogic path. In The One Plan, Yogi Cameron lays out a fifty-two-week structure based on Patanjali's teachings as well as the ancient medical system of Ayurveda; it delivers the proven authenticity of an ancient path but has been adapted to take your life in the modern world into account.
As a practical and accessible guide to help you improve your life, The One Plan will provide you with specific exercises and regimens for crafting an effective daily routine, tips and reminders for becoming truly grounded in that routine, real-life stories and inspiration, practical tools for responding to life's inevitable struggles and setbacks, and even a section on eating the Ayurveda way. By following the One Plan, you will live a life of health, balance, and purpose.
Your commitment to the One Plan may last fifty-two weeks, but the changes you make will last a lifetime.

The ethics plan released today represents the first specific policy proposals of the broader Christie Reform Agenda outlined by the Governor yesterday. Additional reforms to address the areas of pension and benefits, economic development and job creation, and education will be released in the coming weeks.
Among the proposals advanced today by the Governor during a Town Hall meeting in Raritan Township:
• Omnibus ethics legislation which ends dual government employment and dual office holding, requires forfeiture of pensions by convicted public officials, prohibits use of campaign funds for criminal defense costs, and redefines conflict of interest for legislators by making recusal mandatory for direct financial conflict (no more self-evaluation to determine whether the member "feels" there is or is not a conflict) and strict disclosure of legislative conflicts of interest.
• A comprehensive legislative reform package which imposes a uniform standard for awarding contracts at all levels and branches of government in New Jersey, and expands the reach of the pay-to-play law to make public labor unions subject to the same contribution and disclosure obligations as other entities doing business with the State. The bill also restricts the practice of "wheeling," or the transfer of political donations to circumvent campaign financing laws.
Also today, the Governor conditionally vetoed A-2768 to strengthen financial disclosure and to require the Legislature and its senior staff to file the same financial disclosure statements required of the Executive Branch. The original bill sought only to prevent the Governor and State Ethics Commission from extending the filing deadline for financial disclosure statements.
"Ethics reform in New Jersey has been a patchwork of half measures that failed to be fair and uniform, left gaping loopholes for special interests to maneuver through and fell far short of what the public demands," Governor Christie said. "These measures are about good, open and honest government, where the playing field is level for everyone and the rules are unambiguous."
A day after his inauguration, Governor Christie signed an executive order which limited political donations by labor unions that had contracts with the state, saying that unions should be subject to the same restrictions as corporations or individual donors. That executive order was overturned in-part by a state appeals court which -- without passing judgment on the intent of the executive order -- said legislation would be required to enact the restrictions.
"This is undeniably a matter of important public policy," Governor Christie said. "This pay-to-play reform package strengthens New Jersey's existing laws to protect the integrity of our electoral process in a way that preserves the public's confidence in the system. Special interests should not be in a position of deciding elections by flooding the political process with money."
The pay-to-play reform proposal also restricts the practice of "wheeling," by eliminating many of the exemptions on contribution limits for county or municipal political committees. The proposal – which has strong supported from the Election Law Enforcement Commission – would curtail the unlimited transfer of campaign money between committees and from committees to candidates in different parts of the state, which can unfairly impact local races.
Furthermore, the Governor's pay to play reforms address the "Fair and Open Contract" exception by extending pay to play requirements to contributions made to legislators and county or local elected officials. Under the proposal, if a business makes a reportable contribution to any of those individuals, the business cannot receive a contract in excess of $17,500 -- as the law currently applies only to political contributions to a governor.
More information on Governor Christie's ethics reform plan can be found in the fact sheet, included below and as a PDF attachment to this email.

Snowden Seeks Asylum in Russia: Report
(NEWSER) – Edward Snowden will seek political asylum in Russia, at least temporarily, he told human rights groups in a meeting today at Sheremetyevo International Airport. The news comes via New York Times reporter Ellen Barry, who cites a Human Rights Watch researcher at the meeting. Snowden say he's fine with Vladimir Putin's condition that he stop activities intended to harm the US because, in his alleged words, "No actions I take or plan are meant to harm the US. … I want the US to succeed."

When last we broke off our chronicle, Stocky and I were just arriving in le Paree after after a wrong way, I mean a round-trip around the tres lovely French countryside. Due to an unfortunate series of misunderstandings, we boarded a train for le Lyon, which is a lovely area, don't get me wrong because I am not complaining at all about seeing le beautiful France. From there it was just about due west to wine-country and Bordeaux. On the way, Stocky thoroughly charmed the conductor, who rewarded Stocky with supplies of nuts for understanding French like a native.
Now here is where our luck changed because we got on the right train for Paree. However, Stocky seemed to want to stay out of Paree, or perhaps he missed his good friend the nut-dispensing conductor, but he went a little le crazy. Among other things, he tossed my underwear out the train windows, which was I am sure very entertaining for le spectators! But I was aghast at knowing some strangers were ogling my underpants, as I am sure you would be, too.
So then Stocky spent the next couple hours in the pen, in the coop, in the little Big House – his carrier, in other words. Which made me his warden. Oh he was very angry, rattling his tin cup against the bars and making such a racket that the new conductor came to see what was the matter. Imagine trying to explain that he was a hooligan who was being locked up for his own good and for MY sanity, in a language that is not your mother tongue... Well. Stocky was about due to come out of detention, anyway.
But no cookie for him.
However, one good thing came out of this leg of the trip that saved our bacon and paid our way to eventually buy a plan ticket home. And that was, that le Stocky, the star who was not interested in risking his life sky-diving or water-skiing, turned out to be le artiste.
The first time he made a drawing, we were in le dining car and Stocky drew on a napkin with what was at hand, le gravy, le jam, le jelly, dipping the end of his knife in each and making smears across the "canvas" he had appropriated.
So that became our ticket not to fame but to fortune-- at least enough euros to get from here to there.
Le waitress in le dining car became our first customer, letting us pay for le meal with le sketch. No funds passed hands in that instance, but it was penny saved is a penny earned kind of thing. She was a lovely girl from a small town thirty miles from Bordeaux who didn't want to work in le vineyards or in le bottling plant, so the charming redhead won a job on the rails so she could see some of the country.
Anyway, I found a pad of heavy paper that would serve to carry Stocky's artistic impressions, plus a brush and some watercolors, at the next train stop.
Whereupon I set Stocky to drawing in earnest, as he chattered all the while probably in French squirrel-talk to le conductor, to le waitress, to one and all at the train stops. Le Frenchies had been already charmed by his ability to understand le French but now they were doubly charmed by his sketches.
Art lovers all, they willingly parted with a euro or two to encourage a "starving artist" – no matter that the artiste had fur and very tiny paws to hold le brush with. You have to admit, the Frenchies are very open-minded in their definitions of art and artists. But thanks be for that, because every single one of his creations that he had dashed off in his squirrelly fashion sold within minutes. What a great country this is, hey?
So that meant of course that we could ride straight on through to not only Paree but thru the lovely le tunnel sous la Manche, aka the Chunnel, to London. Where just for kicks Stocky threw some more of my underpants out the window, probably just his squirrelly way of saying Hello There. Soovie keeps calling him the squirrelly kid, and he is squirrelly all right, not only does he eat nuts, he IS nuts nuts nuts.
But anyway, never mind that I am forced to go commando. Who cares when one is on one's way HOME blessed home, H-O-M-E as in home sweet home, as in I want to go home like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, who never gave up even when the Wicked Witch was after her.
Thank goodness we did not have any Flying Monkeys come after us. Although in those days when Stocky was drying out from the booze-drenched tour of the British Isles and France, who knows what nightmares he endured? Flying Monkeys, Pink Elephants, the whole menagerie probably visited him.
Anyway, we got to London. Did not get to have tea with Her lovely Royal Highness the Queen, natch, but we did stop for tea at a regular tea shoppe with a scone shared between me and that squirrelly kid. Where Stocky behaved himself, more or less, actually sitting at the le table and sticking out his pinky while drinking le proper tea in a proper tea shoppe.
So then it was on to le airport, le famous Heathrow airport. Where with all the euros from the sale of Stocky's artwork, we barely managed to buy a ticket for me. Stocky, sorry Soovie, is going as carry-on luggage.
So that is the latest installment in le saga of Stocky le squirrelly Squirrel, who dodged the evil Kara in Paree, who vanquished Minnie's underwear, who charmed millions well at least dozens all over France, who discovered his real talent and might become famous one day if you keep giving him paper and a brush, Soovie. So, we will be at an airport near you in a matter of hours, Soovie, so I hope you can pick us up from le airport and feed us your magnificent home cooking.

Drake, OutKast to headline 2014 OVO Fest
Listen to Drake on iHeartRadio | Listen to OutKast on iHeartRadio
Drake is tapping the hip-hop duo OutKast for his fifth annual OVO Fest. The reunited duo will take the stage on the music festival's opening night, August 3rd. Drake will then perform on the second and final night.
Both nights of festivities are slated to include a number of special guests. The concert will take place at the Molson Canadian Amphitheatre in Drake's hometown of Toronto. Tickets go on sale Friday.
Last year's OVO Fest was whittled down to one night after first-night headliner Frank Ocean pulled out because of a vocal chord injury. However, Drake didn't disappoint on the second night, which featured special guests Kanye West, Diddy and Ma$e.

PACIFIC PALISADES -- Long after his round was over, Jeremiah Wooding was working on his swing at the driving range and hanging out with his older brother, Joshua.
Jeremiah changed stalls to make way for 700 children who were there for a free youth golf clinic at Riviera Country Club. Those youngsters, many of whom are underprivileged, are his target audience. They're children he's hoping to inspire so much they might start or stick with golf.
He'll be conducting a clinic today after he finishes playing in his first PGA Tour event.
The 24-year-old Wooding is doing his part to inspire, as one day earlier he made the cut at the Northern Trust Open. He's the first Northern Trust Open exemption winner - given to a player who best advances diversity in golf - to make the cut.
After a first-round 75, Wooding followed with a 5-under 66 on Friday to easily make the cut.
"I think I belong," Wooding said. "This is where I feel comfortable.
"This is where I'm supposed to be. I had to get over it a little, but obviously this is where I'm supposed to be. This is home. I'm just trying to enjoy it."
Wooding, who grew up in Riverside, shot a 1-under 70 on Saturday to impress again. He's tied for 22nd, 10 shots behind leader Bill Haas and one shot behind Phil Mickelson, who will be playing in the group behind him.
He made a birdie putt on the second hole and had the fist pump and wave going. People were calling him by his first name. And he is on a big stage with big eyes following him.
"That's the goal, for this exemption to give kids the mindset that, `Hey, maybe that can be me one day,' " Wooding said.
He isn't just satisfied with being here. He wants others with diverse backgrounds to join him. He's one of just two African American golfers on the Web.com Tour. It's stunning there haven't been more African American golfers to follow in the footsteps of Tiger Woods, but Wooding hopes that will change.
"I was really stoked about the exemption," Wooding said. "Northern Trust is so kind to have this exemption for a small group of people like myself who are just trying to get after it.
"To get the exemption and make the most of it really means the world.
"That's what the exemption is about."
For the last five years, the NTO has done well to give golfers this opportunity. The exemption started by honoring Charlie Sifford, who helped with desegregation in golf and in 2004 became the first African American to be elected to the World Golf Hall of Fame.
Because there is not a large pool of African American golfers to choose from for the exemption, it begs the question if the Northern Trust exemption will last. Will there be enough candidates to take hold of this grand opportunity?
"We see it as a long-term exemption, but we review it every year for that reason," Northern Trust Open general manager Mike Bone said. "We see what kind of candidates we have. This year, we had 12-15 applicants, and all were quality applicants. We're thrilled to have one who made the cut.
"To me, he's making this really exciting. He's someone the Northern Trust believed in, him, his family and his background."
His father is African American and his mom is from the Virgin Islands. He said he has some German, Dutch, Italian and more in him.
Older brother Joshua, who went to USC and has been following Jeremiah in his gallery, earned the exemption in 2010.
Wooding has family and friends in the gallery, including his father and uncle, Larry Blackmon. He counts his uncle as his good-luck charm. Blackmon caddied for him at The First Tee Open at Pebble Beach about seven years ago in a televised event. Blackmon asked him to hit a "crowd-pleasing" shot that day.
"I hit a 4-iron into No. 8 at Pebble, toward the TV tower, and he told me, `Give me a crowd-pleaser,' " Wooding recalled. "I hit it to 15 feet and made the putt for birdie. So he's always telling me to give him a crowd pleaser."
Wooding did that Friday with eagles on the first and 11th holes. Then, he finished in darkness later that day, a scene he'll likely never forget.
"To birdie 17 and 18 in dark was cool," Wooding said. "The scoreboard was lighting up the green. That was cool."
What's also cool is Wooding isn't in awe here of Riviera or that he's playing so well.
"I expect to," he said. "I've walked on grass before and played holes. It's a big stage, but you pick a target and make a fearless swing."
His target off the course is garnering the attention of children, to whom he said he loves to speak to about golf and opportunity.
"They're so impressionable. They're so young," Wooding said. "They need one person, one more thing where maybe the light goes off and they think, `I can do that, too. I can be that.' "

Post subject: MNGCA Coin History
Im trying to put together a summary of the geocoins and tags that have been officially produced by the MNGCA (as opposed to those produced by its members). Looking at my inventory of discovered and owned coins Im sure is only giving me a partial listing of whats been done, so any help any of you can give me would be appreciated. I have:
2007 Aurora Borealis MNGCA coinRound coin. Reverse side shows the Northern lights surrounded by GEOCACHING UNDER THE GLOW OF THE/ AURORA BOREALIS while the obverse side has the MNGCA Pine trees in MN symbol, 2007, and tracking number surrounded by Minnesota Geocaching Association
2008Was there a coin produced this year?
2009 coin available in gold, silver, copper (and/or antique copper?). Shaped like MN. Obverse says MnGCA.org and 2009 on a field of two pine trees. Reverse says LAND OF 10,000 CACHES and shows an ammo box and bootprints, all covered with snow. Tracking number is on reverse. Issued by Personal Geocoins.
2010 coin available in multiple metals. Square shaped, with four canoe paddles as border. Obverse shows the MNGCA Pine trees in MN symbol and the words Caching Minnesota Style above and Minnesota Geocaching Association below. To the sides are four icons, representing and described by Winter (snowflake), Spring (red flower), Summer (sun) and Fall (maple leaf). On the blades of the paddles are (clockwise from upper left): Pine tree, 2010, camp fire, tracking number. The reverse shows a lakeshore scene with a loon on the water and a beached canoe. The color of the canoe varies with the metal of the coin. The blades of the paddles show animal tracks (clockwise from upper left): deer, bear, bird, wolf? Issued by DirectMint.com
2011 Coin. No icon. Rectangular-shaped, rounded corners. Obverse designed to look like a MN license plate. It reads EXPLORE Geocaching/MnGCA/Land of 10,000 Caches on three lines. The Pine Trees in MN symbol is between the Mn and the GCA. In the lower left and right corners are the tracking number and the year 2011, respectively. The reverse shows Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox by a geocache in the woods. Issued by DirectMint.com.
Cachekinz MNGCAThere are at least two varieties of this cachekinz. One is the Pine trees in MN symbol of the MNGCA. I do not know when this one was produced or sold. The other is an image of Babe the Blue Ox, and was produced at the same time as the 2011 Paul & Babe geocoin. Tracking number on back for both. Issued by Cache Addict.
Explore MN geocoin. Shaped like the state. The obverse appears identical to the icon, while the reverse says Explore Discover Experience Minnesota and has a loon and the tracking number.
Cache MN geocoin. Created in silver and gold trim (and other?) Rectangular shaped, like a MN license plate. The obverse reads in three lines: EXPLORE Minnesota/CACHE MN/ SEP 10,000 Lakes 2006 The reverse is the Groundspeak logo and the tracking number.
MN Historyround coin, produced in copper? There is at least one version in honor of Alvins Phone Line, the oldest cache in Minnesota. I dont have much more info than that.
Minnesota State Symbol Series coinsRound coins, there are at least two versions (probably more). I know of one for the Pink Lady Slipper (State Flower) and Walleye (State Fish). Produced in gold trim (and others?)
I believe that the 2010 GeocoinFest Coin (canoe) and CacheKin (gopher on an oval) were produced by the group sponsoring GCF2010, and are not affiliated with the MNGCA directly.
Have I missed any coins? Do you have more info re metals/colors/dimensions/prices/issuing mint/varieties/etc.?

In 2006 there was a non-trackable coin - "No GPS Needed"
The Explore MN geocoin I think was made Centris
The Cache MN, MN Geocaching History Series #1 - Alvin's Phone Line Geocoin, MN Lady Slipper Geocoin, MN Loon Geocoin and MN Walleye Geocoin were made by merkman
Yest the 2010 GCF coins were made by the GCF commitee.

The 2006 coin was the first one done by the MnGCA. It was not trackable through Groundspeak because at the time it would have literally added thousands of dollars to the cost of the coin. There were only a handful of designs other than the "official" Groundspeak coins. One of which was one done in Colorado that featured their state flag on the back. That as much as anything led to the 2006 coin. I should know, I was the one who first asked the question "hey I saw this cool Colorado coin, why don't we do something like this..." None of us on that first "coin committee" quite knew what to expect as far as sales, acceptance etc. Geocoins were pretty rare, and like I said beyond the Groundspeak coin that was pretty dull you really didn't see many different ones out there. Shortly after that 2006 coin was produced the market seemed to overflow with different designs and eventually Groundspeak made it much easier to incorporate the tracking number by working directly with a few different coin vendors to coordinate the tracking numbers. In 2006 we would have needed to buy a block of numbers, I think if I remember right the minimum was 1000 numbers, and they were close to 3-5 bucks per number which was making the coin close to 20 bucks cost, no profit at that point.
A lot of the design of that coin was done by Mrs. Mizzou, long before she had any clue she would be a 2 term president of the organization. There were 4 or 5 of us on the committee... she wasn't even officially on the committee, she just tagged along because it meant I would buy her pizza at the pizza place we all met at. We hashed out about 80% of the details in that one night over pizza and beer, the rest was done on the forums and that first coin was soon in the history books.

Gallery: Nearly 14 pound baby born in Whittier
WHITTIER -- A new mother kicked of Memorial Day weekend in a big way Friday night when she have birth to a 13-pound, 10-ounce baby girl at Whittier Hospital Medical Center.
Kaelyn Hernandez was born to Yvette Hernandez of Bell Gardens and will soon be joining an older brother and sister at home.
"Mom and baby are resting comfortably in the hospital's (obstetrics) unit," Whittier Hospital Medical Center officials said Saturday in a written statement.
They were expected to go home Monday.
The girl is, "the largest baby born at the hospital that anyone can remember," according to the hospital statement.
Depsite Kaelyn's unusually large size, she was born a week early, her mother said.
During her first day of life, the baby was calm, she said. "She's quiet."
And Yvette added that she herself felt good following the delivery.
She was born via C-secion late Friday, hospital spokesman Jay Geer said.
Her weight at birth was "about double what a normal baby is," Geer said.
Hernandez said her first child weighed 8 pounds, 8 ounces at birth, and her second weighed 10 pounds 10 ounces.
She added that she did not know she was expecting such a big baby.
"It was a surprise," she said.

PHOTO: Lupita Nyong'o Shines On The Cover of French 'ELLE'
There's nothing mellow about the bright yellow dress Lupita Nyong'o is donning on the cover of French ELLE. In fact, there's nothing low key about the star's rise to fame either.
Lupita strikes a supermodel pose as she grabs her waist with her two hands as the billowing frock exposes her slender legs. With her signature short hair-do, the 12 Years A Slave star glows as her contagious smile is accented with a fabulous slick of red lipstick.
Besides her enviable acting talents, the talented star has also taken the fashion world by storm.
ELLE France has labeled Lupita Nyong'o a 'superstar' as she graces the cover of the fashion magazine's July issue.
The 31-year-old continues her stellar year by looking stunning as she flashes a big smile in a canary yellow Giambattista Valli Haute Couture silk gown.
So of course she's beaming!
Well maybe it's the Oscar award, the new role in the Star Wars sequel or just her life being turned around seemingly overnight. Lupita is riding high.

News: Consolidation prayer gathering to be live-streamed
Since the consolidation of Central Bible College, Evangel University, and the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary was approved by vote of the 54th General Council in Phoenix, Ariz., August 2011, concerted prayer has been devoted to seeking God's wisdom and guidance as details of the consolidation are worked out. Monthly "Together in Prayer" gatherings, coordinated by Central Bible College President Gary Denbow, have alternated among the three institutions throughout the academic year. God's rich blessing and presence have been powerfully felt as prayers have been offered for students, faculty, staff, and administrators, as well as for the number of committees and boards that have devoted, and continue to devote, long hours to this initiative.
On Monday, November 5, at 7:00 p.m., CST, representatives from each school, along with guests from area churches and the AG national offices, will gather at AGTS to pray for God's blessing on and guidance for the consolidation of the three academic institutions. This prayer service is unique in that it will be live streamed on the Web so that others across the nation can participate in this important time of prayer.
Following greetings and opening prayer by AGTS president, Dr. Byron Klaus, a scripture reading and devotional will be presented by Dr. Robert H. Spence, president of EU. Dr. Randy Walls (AGTS) will lead a time of worship followed by prayers offered by members of the Consolidation Prayer Task Force: Mrs. Joanne Strom, consolidation coordinator; Rev. Sandra Drake, founding director of the AG National Prayer Center and former director of AG Women's Ministries; Dr. Jay Taylor, director of Spiritual Formation, AGTS; Rev. John Maempa, director of the AG Office of Prayer & Spiritual Care; Rev. John Plake, EU campus pastor; and Rev. Alan Baker, CBC campus pastor. Prayers will focus on unity and community, commitment to legacy, academic excellence, spiritual vitality, the administration and staff, and for assurance amidst change.
Closing remarks and prayer will be offered by Dr. Gary A. Denbow, president of CBC and coordinator of the Consolidation Prayer Task Force.
"Without question, we need God's help as details of the consolidation are finalized," states Dr. Denbow. "Please plan to join with us for this special time of prayer on November 5, as we, together in prayer, seek God's wisdom and direction."

There are at least three reasons to attend Sunday's Bluff Park Neighborhood Association home tour:
There'll be plenty of exercise - but not overly taxing - plenty of history of the area, and it will help support the association.
The Bluff Park Historic District's boundaries run from Ocean Boulevard to Broadway between Junipero Avenue on the west to Loma Avenue on the east. The 25-home tour - 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. - will focus on sites between Paloma and Kennebec avenues, sandwiched between Ocean and Second Street, according to Sasha Witte of the association.
A gourmet box lunch by Olives Gourmet Grocer will be provided in one of the handsome gardens of the community. To include a box lunch, tickets must be purchased no later than 2 p.m. today.
Tickets including a box lunch are $20 each; without a box lunch, $15. They can be purchased by visiting www.BluffPark.org or by visiting Sasha's at 3237 East Broadway.
The neighborhood was designated a historic district in 1982, and it holds many architectural treasures from the early 1900s through the 1930s in particular, according to Witte.
Long Beach historians and authors Stan Poe and Maureen Neeley will give a presentation on the area's significance.
Following the presentation, docents will lead small groups through the neighborhood - stopping for a box lunch - before completing the tour with highlights on homes and history.
"The whole area is interesting," Poe said Thursday.
Sunday's tour will focus on the first four decades of history and architecture in the Bluff Park area.
Many wealthy businessmen and civic leaders, Witte said, built their homes on the prime lots.
In the 1920s, quite a few Hollywood stars spent their time in homes in Bluff Park.
Poe said the key mover and shaker was John Bixby, who began efforts to develop the area in the 1880s, initially aiming to build an Alamitos Beach town site for the upper class.
A rail line traveled along Broadway, and farms were established north of the tracks while villa lots were anchored on the south, according to Poe.
Not much development took root until the oil boom of 1921, he added.
"That's what poured money into Long Beach," Poe said.
Many of the lots were large enough for a second structure, according to Poe.
In the first decade of the 20th century, a housing boom resulted in many new homes that were designed in the Victorian, Transitional and Craftsman styles, Witte said.
In the following years, she added, the Prairie style and Period Revival styles of architecture appeared, with many fine Tudor, Mediterranean and Colonial Revival homes built.
The Craftsman Bungalow has remained the predominant historical house type in the district, according to Witte, due to the intensive home construction between 1905 and 1920.
Featured homes this year will include Arts and Crafts homes, Spanish Revival treasures from the 1920s, Art Deco, Victorian and a couple of Mid-century structures.

Ariz. fire crew that lost 19 worked front lines
Published: Monday, July 1, 2013 at 11:13 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 1, 2013 at 11:13 a.m.
YARNELL, Ariz. — The 19 firefighters killed Sunday in Arizona were part of an elite crew known for working on the front lines of region's worst fires, including two this season that came before the team descended on the erratic fire that claimed their lives.
Deadly US accidents involving fire crews
Here is a look at some of the deadliest U.S. tragedies to have claimed the lives of wildland firefighters, including the 19 killed in an Arizona blaze Sunday:
— June 30, 2013: Nineteen members of an elite crew are killed in a fire northwest of Phoenix that lit up the night sky in the forest above the town of Yarnell. The fast-moving blaze fueled by hot, dry conditions is the deadliest wildfire involving firefighters in the U.S. for at least 30 years.
— Aug. 5, 2008: Nine people were killed when a helicopter crashed shortly after taking off with a load of firefighters heading back to camp in Northern California. Seven of the dead were firefighters with Grayback Forestry Inc. The crew was fighting a forest fire on the Shasta-Trinity National Forest outside Redding, Calif.
— Aug. 24, 2003: Eight contract firefighters who had spent two weeks fighting an Idaho wildfire were killed on their way home when their van collided with a tractor-trailer and exploded into flames outside Vale, Ore. The firefighters, all men, worked for First Strike Environmental, a contract firefighting company and all were from Oregon.
— July 6, 1994: A blaze near Glenwood Springs, Colo., killed 14 firefighters who were overtaken by a sudden explosion of flames. The lightning-sparked Storm King Mountain blaze roared through shrubs as the firefighters scrambled uphill. Thirty-five firefighters on the mountain that day survived.
— July 9, 1953: The Rattlesnake fire in Southern California took the lives of 15 firefighters battling a blaze in Mendocino National Forest.
— Aug. 5, 1949: The Mann Gulch fire near Helena, Mont., killed 12 smokejumpers and a forest ranger after they were overrun by flames.
— Oct. 3, 1933: The Griffith Park wildfire in Los Angeles killed 29 firefighters.
All but one member of the Prescott-based Hotshot crew died in what was the deadliest wildfire for firefighters in the U.S. in decades.
Prescott Fire Chief Dan Fraijo said the 19, whose names had not been released, were a part of the city's fire department.
Before the fire near Yarnell, the group — one of 13 Arizona Hotshot crews — had been profiled in local media last year as they prepared for the fire season and this year as they took on a blaze near Prescott earlier this month.
"The Hot Shots may be fighting the fire with fire," Prescott firefighter and spokesman Wade Ward told the Prescott Daily Courier in an interview last week. "They may be removing the fuels from the fire, or building a containment line that might be a trigger point for farther down the line."
He told the newspaper members of Hotshot crews are highly trained and work long hours in extreme conditions as they carry out the most demanding of tasks. When the deadly blaze near Yarnell erupted Friday, it came amid a severe heat wave that gripped much of the West. It grew out of control as it was fanned by gusty, hot winds Sunday.
"By the time they got there, it was moving very quickly," Fraijo told The Associated Press of Sunday's fire.
Hotshot crews — there are more than 100 in the U.S. — often hike for miles into the wilderness with chain saws and backpacks filled with heavy gear to build lines of protection between people and fires. They remove brush, trees and anything that might burn in the direction of homes and cities.
The Prescott-based crew last year had four rookies on its 22-member squad, according to a Cronkite News Service report that profiled the group.
State forestry spokesman Art Morrison told the AP that the firefighters were forced to deploy their emergency fire shelters — tent-like structures meant to shield firefighters from flames and heat — when they were caught in the fire.
The Cronkite News Service had featured the group in its story practicing such deployment in a worst-case scenario drill.
"One of the last fail safe methods that a firefighter can do under those conditions is literally to dig as much as they can down and cover themselves with a protective — kinda looks like a foil type — fire-resistant material — with the desire, the hope at least, is that the fire will burn over the top of them and they can survive it," Fraijo said Sunday.
"Under certain conditions there's usually only sometimes a 50 percent chance that they survive," he said. "It's an extreme measure that's taken under the absolute worst conditions."

Did you start networking?
Did you configure your wireless card? One way is with wicd:/etc/init.d/networking start
Then configure the wireless network connection using K Menu-Internet-Wicd Network Manager/etc/init.d/wicd start
I can't go to any website on BackTrack 4. Is it supposed to be like that? Im using a wireless connection.

Capitalisation is important. It's the difference between "Helping your brother Jack off a horse" and "Helping your brother jack off a horse".
The Forum Rules, Forum FAQ and the BackTrack Wiki... learn them, love them, live them.
backtrack doesn't start networking by its own, it's an unwanted behaviour if you're trying to be quiet. You can go online via Menu -> Services -> NETWORK -> Start NETWORK, then Menu -> Internet -> Wicd.

hey man
you need to start the network first
start > services > network> start network
and then to see waht connections are availeble click on:
start > internet> wcid network manager
and just connect to your home access point (routher )
for any more questions, just ask
I think this howto will help you
Howto: How to configure your Network Card - Offensive-security.com
I can see my gateway through my Ethernet card and can connect but apparently my built-in wireless card does not work because it does not see any wireless network on Wicd manager, any help?
Some commands that would help in trouble shooting:
/etc/init.d/networking restart
ifconfig -a [COLOR="rgb(139, 0, 0)"]// Do you see wlan0 or wifi0 ?[/COLOR]
iwconfig [COLOR="rgb(139, 0, 0)"]// this command will let you know if your wireless card is know by the system[/COLOR]
omg theres another thread just like this one!!
check it out http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...-detected.html
look at my post on the bottom...
Wielder of the spoon of doom
Summercon, Toorcon, Defcon, Bsides, Derbycon, Shmoocon oh my
Come hang out with hackers on twitter @gunrunr556
simply open terminal and type in:
then u can use "wicd" from Internet menu.Code:start-network
Ok enough has been said about this issue. There was enough help and a simple search would have be enough to find an answer too.

Is it possible to have a fourth child after 3 c-sections?
Hello there! I am a mother of 2 lovely girls and I'm currently pregnant with my 3rd baby girl. I was really hoping for a boy, but I am still happy for having my 3 little angels. I was really just wondering, would it still be possible for me to have another baby after this upcoming c-section? How many years would it take if ever possible? I am still 21 years old so I'm still hoping for a chance of getting a boy. Looking forward to your answers. Thank you very much!

Although there isn't enough research to support a specific limit on repeat C-sections, most women can safely have up to three cesarean deliveries. Each repeat C-section is generally more complicated than the last.
For some women, the risk of surgical complications — such as infection or heavy bleeding — increases only slightly from one C-section to the next. If you had a long and difficult labor before your first C-section, a repeat C-section might be less physically taxing. The healing process will take at least as long, however, and possibly longer if you develop complications.
Primary concerns for repeated sections include, weakened uterine wall. Each uterine incision leaves a weak spot in the uterine wall. This might interfere with future pregnancies.
Problems with the placenta. The more C-sections you've had, the greater the risk of developing problems with the placenta — such as when the placenta implants too deeply and firmly to the uterine wall (placenta accreta) or when the placenta partially or completely covers the opening of the cervix (placenta previa)
Bladder injuries, which are possible but uncommon with initial C-sections, are more likely with repeat C-sections. The increased risk is likely due to scar-like tissue that developed after a previous C-section, binding the bladder to the uterus.
Heavy bleeding is possible after any C-section. The risk of excessive bleeding increases with the number of repeat C-sections. The risk of needing a hysterectomy — removal of the uterus — to control life-threatening bleeding also increases with the number of repeat C-sections.
Repeat C-sections appeal to many women. Beyond three C-sections, however, the surgical risks must be weighed carefully against the desire for subsequent pregnancies.
Please do consult with your doctor before preceding with a 4th pregnancy, as you can see each woman is do different from the next and our pregnancies as well.
I do hope that you find this information useful.

I don't see it. He occasionally gets hot from outside, but he has a hard time creating his own shot, taking it to the hole, and he is not much of a defensive force.
Perhaps my expectations have been too high given the credentials he brought with him to Cal. (I believe he was the CIF Southern Section 4A Player of the Year as a high school senior. You would think that the CIF 4A POY would bring more to the table than he has thus far.)
He is at his best when he gets the pass coming off a screen and has time to set himself for the shot. (Who doesn't?!) Monty clearly gets this, as the team is continually setting picks for Crabbe, which is a good thing.
But Crabbe needs to help himself by lifting the level of his game. One writer said after last season that he needs to develop a bit more bulk so he can turn the corner and get into the lane when he drives from the wing. I have yet to see any sign of that. He also needs to work harder on his defense. And his shooting percentage could stand improvement. He probably needs to be a bit more selective with his shots, and the percentage will go up.
What do you think?

I attended the Lifleline BookFest last Sunday, which was the last day of this Bookfest.
All proceeds raised from book sales help fund Lifeline's many counseling services. So you have the double bonus of buying great books and knowing the money you pay is being used to help people.
I have never come away with no books. OK, I admit I love books of every type (except horror). I have found many specialist books at Bookfest including University textbooks, computing books and of course history books.
I spent one hour looking through the books then went off to a wonderful get-together with Genealogists for Families group where we had a lovely lunch and then chatted genealogy for ages. Then back to the Bookfest for three hours.
I attended on the last day when the prices are reduced and you have options of filling a plastic (biodegradable) shopping bag for $5 but even so I only spent $55 which included the books below as well as forty-five five others.
The Greater London Street Atlas was very heavy and if I had bought this new and paid for postage from England it would have cost close to this amount.

Throw in Bekah's hot brother who always seems to be in the right place at the right time, a past with more secrets to unravel than you can even imagine, and you get a recipe for disaster. Find out what happens to Lexi as she travels to Atlanta to get the closure she so desperately desires from Jack, and how the bumps of life seem to keep getting in the way.

I love being swept away by a new romance and thankfully Audible's ever growing Library means I get to indulge myself over and over again
Firstly, be warned you could lose friends (and sleep) over this listen - it's the sort of book that just absolutely sucks you in and you find yourself growling and snarling at anybody who even attempts to talk to you which would make you have to press the 'pause' button.
This well written passionate love story played on my emotions like no other book I've listened to has - there was hope, happiness, sadness, anger, tension, rage, frustration and ..... finally utter speechless disbelief. It flips backwards and forwards from present day back through a 6 year emotional roller-coaster relationship between two people who become friends and then lovers but both sadly fail to find themselves in the right place at the right time for a lasting relationship. There are lots of strong secondary characters who become involved in some way through this story and they either add or hinder the lovers.
Although you may be fooled into thinking this is YA - that is not the case - there is passion and sex scenes - but they are entwined amongst the backdrop of their emotions for one another.
Worth a credit? I don't know know good this has been for my blood pressure but it's a definite YES if your a romance lover please don't miss this listen - but be warned - have some tissues ready.
For as much as I read and listen you would think by now that I would know how to spell lol. I read at least 5 books a week there are times I have gotten up to 10 in a week.
yes, it brought me back to when I was a teenager and first feel in love.
The true honesty of the situation she kept finding herself in.
The was a truly emotional makes you think kind of book. Lets you understand better what love at first sight can make you think, feel, and even sometimes do. Deals with feelings I am sure a lot of ppl have or will face in their lifetime.
I've always been a avid reader so now I'm a avid listener. I prefer the paranormal genre but I do like to switch things up. It's boring if you don't have variety. Of course I do love the romance and the hotter the better. Also, you can't beat a good thriller filled with suspense and a ending you can't even guess at until the very end.
Talk about an emotional whirlwind. This one had my emotions in an uproar. At times I just wanted to knock Lexi in the head with a bat. Lexi has a relationship with Jack for years that is not a healthy one. We are taken from the present to the past and back to the present. Jack has never chosen Lexi but he won't let her go. Lexi destroys every relationship she has because she can't let go of Jack. Jack wants Lexi to meet the woman he intends to propose to and convince her that he is ready to commit. Of course Jack starts his same old pattern again and he wants both women. Will Lexi finally let him go or will Jack finally be the man he should be and give Lexi the love she deserves?
Is this one worth a credit? Yes, because I love not knowing which way the story is going. There's allot of things going on and the story isn't predictable. I will say I do hope there is another book.
"Women are so stupied"
This book could be true. Some men really think that they can treat women like this. A smile a kiss a little love making and women will be in wrapped around there little finger.
Will do anything for books!
"couldn't finish it"
I hated the characters and after listening to over 150 audible romance books some I've struggled to finish but this was so frustrating I stopped. I read the reviews for the following books but didn't feel compelled to go on.
My favorite character in this story was Chyna. Love her loyalty to her best friend Lexi. Despite all the idiotic, stupid things that Lexi does with Jack, Chyna is right there with her to pick up the broken pieces.
This book totally pissed me off, in a good way. Wow, talk about an intense relationship. Geez, I was exhausted by the time I was done with this book. Let's just say that I overused plenty of expletives while reading this book. My god...I really hate Jack! Stupid moron! But Lexi, well she lets him walk all over her! Poor thing, the things people do for love. Overall, this was a very enjoyable book even though it did send my blood pressure thru the roof!
"Good narration"
I think this book is more of a young adult target. Overall it's good. Going back and forth from present to past gets me a bit lost. I have known women in their younger years who carried the torch for a man and I didn't understand it then or now. It was kind of frustrating to read about Jack and Lexi's relationship. The audio reader was good.
"Didn't Get IT"
This book almost put me to sleep. Didn't get it and I don't understand such broken people that have so much going for them.
Greg Abbey was about the only reason I finished this awful book
"book sequence"
This book really should be labeled book 1. I didn't even know about this one until I finished the third book that is actually labeled book 2.
"Reality Check And Loving It"
I absolutely love this book. Spoiler alert, it doesn't end with your typical love conquers all scenario.
Everything was memorable. I read some of the reviews first which some were brutal. Me being the cynic that I am caused me to want to listen to the story myself to draw my own conclusion. I was actually capable of relating to this story in more ways than I can count. I absolutely loved this story. Not certain on if I'll like the 3 sequels that follow but this story was great.
I have not listened to Mr. Abbey before but his voice was captivating. I'm not really certain on what it is (Lie) but I love the sound of a mans voice reading to me even if the lead character is a woman. Especially if the voice has a very masculine tone.
I laughed mostly plus I had a lot of OMG's, you go girl and shut the front door moments in the mix
If you're not always looking for the damsel in distress and gets rescued story then take a listen and draw your on conclusion.

text: Naya Rivera has had a bad month. Not only has she been dropped from the final few episodes of Glee for this season, her contract for next year is still up in the air. Well, she lost another job yesterday as Columbia Records announced she has been dropped from the label. Naya was the first Glee performer to get a solo deal back in 2011 but only released one dismal single and no album was ever produced. With no acting jobs being offered and no record labels swarming to try and sign her, I guess she can always emulate her hero Kim Kardashian and try and make a porn. I'm pretty sure Ray-J would be willing. At this point he is probably as desperate for some attention and money as she is.

Theater professor lauded for production of 'Henry VIII'
University of South Carolina associate professor of theater Robert Richmond's recent production of Shakespeare's "Henry VIII" at the prestigious Folger Theatre in Washington, D.C., has been nominated for 10 Helen Hayes awards, including a nod for Richmond for outstanding director.
The Folger Theatre produced three plays in 2010, and Richmond's production of the seldom-staged "Henry VIII" led the way with 10 nominations.
"The Folger Theatre was a perfect setting for such a jewel-box production," Richmond said. "With its Elizabethan décor, the period setting beautifully highlights a world of domestic scandal and political intrigues. There was no better place than the Folger, as one of the great literary institutions in the world, for me to study, research and direct this great play."
Richmond, originally from Hastings, England, studied at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama. For New York City's Aquila Theatre, he has directed more 30 productions, including "Romeo & Juliet," "Hamlet," "Twelfth Night," "The Invisible Man," "Agamemmnon," "Othello," "The Man Who Would Be King," "A Midsummer Night's Dream," "The Importance of Being Earnest," "The Tempest," "Wrath of Achilles," "Much Ado About Nothing," "Cyrano de Bergerac," "Julius Caesar," "The Iliad: Book One" and "King Lear."
Richmond's fascination with "Henry VIII" began with family trips to Hever Castle, the family home of Anne Boleyn, the tragic queen of King Henry VIII, and his professional acting debut was playing Henry VIII in Robert Bolt's "A Man For All Seasons."
"Although the role comprises only one short scene, I devoured every book I could read about the man," Richmond said. "For these reasons, Shakespeare's 'Henry VIII' means a great deal to me. And, as one of the less-often-produced plays, it arouses my interest even more. It is usually conceived as a large-scale epic drama, full of spectacle and pageantry. However, I find it more compelling as a human story, a play about life as a monarch -- full of betrayals and scandals.
King Henry VIII was king of England from 1509-1547. Besides his six wives, he was best known for his role in the separation of the Church of England from the Roman Catholic Church.
Other notable nominations for "Henry VIII":
- Louis Butelli (outstanding supporting actor) – Butelli has been a guest artist at USC several times, most recently as assistant director for Richmond's production of "A Cabal of Hypocrites" in 2008. Butelli is also involved as an actor with Richmond's short film, "Dreadful Sorry."
- Anthony Cochrane (outstanding sound design) – As guest artist, Cochrane played the title role in "Cyrano de Bergerac" at Longstreet Theatre in September 2009.
- William Ivey Long (outstanding costume design) – Long is a major Broadway costume designer ("The Producers," "Hairspray," "Chicago," "Dreamgirls") who also designed the costumes for the long-running outdoor drama, "The Lost Colony," which Richmond has directed for the last three years on the Outer Banks.
The Helen Hayes Award, named for the famed actress, has recognized excellence in professional theater in the Washington, D.C., area since 1983.
The 27th annual Helen Hayes Awards will be presented April 25 in Washington, D.C.

BTW the one on the right used burnt umber as the colorant.
My favorite shade of celedon is a pale green with a tint of blue. My friend Gayle Baird told me about the addition of Black stain to tone down the copper in Ox.
The original question was for a cone 6 celedon in Oxidation. I think most of us are aware that the original Chinese celedon is fired in reduction in wood kilns. Here are 2 examples of a celedon fired to ^10 reduction (Right) and a faux Oxidation celedon fired at ^6.(Left)
Thank you for the formulas Marcia. I know of HS teacher that is looking for a celedon. I will send these to her. Your posts are always interesting and informative.

INTERVIEW: Tritonal at Ultra Music Festival
Listen to Tritonal on iHeartRadio
The guys of Tritonal have been blazing a hot trail in the Trance scene recently. Having toured all over the world, creating heavily supported music, and now with a new EP, having played A State of Trance 600 in Miami, they have their loyal Tritonians behind them.
We caught up with Chad and Dave after their ASoT 600 set at Ultra Music Festival, where they talked about their new release, their most embarrasing moment on stage, and their guilty pleasures! Check out what they had to say:
Since you've been here since last Friday, what has been your favorite part of Miami?
Chad: Oh, it's got to be this. It has to be Ultra for me. I mean this is what it's all about. And, you know, today we had the early slot on the A State of Trance 600 stage, and like, I was fully expecting online for it to be awesome and Twitter to be blow up, but I thought it would be slow at the stage - being that it's the last day of a two-weekend festival, and people are going to be tired from going out last night. But literally, we stood up, and like, here came the Tritonians! And they were running to the stage. And that felt good, it really did.
How did your set go?
Dave: Oh awesome! Of course, you know Ultra just gives us a different kind of energy and a feeling. And a little bit of nervousness, of course like he was talking about, like 'is anybody going to be there?' You know, and they all came in and then, you know, they went for it, and in turn, like it cheered us up. Our fans always make us happy. Our Tritonians!
What is going on for you right now, are you guys touring?
Chad: Yeah, there's that. We're going to be pretty North America based. Last year was a lot of Europe, and Australia, and Asia, and Russia, and we went everywhere, all over the place. It was literally a year of dragging the suitcases around. And this year, you know, we really want to focus on, really, the U.S. to be quite frank. Like it's so good here right now, this is our country; we'd be silly not to try to make our growth as exponential as we can. When we say touring in the U.S., for us that's easy. Like, you go do a 27-hour journey to Melbourne, or like India, or Jakarta, like flying to L.A., or flying to Denver is like, cake! I don't consider it touring really, because we play Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and we're home by Sunday in the studio. And that's how it is this week. So it's going to be a lot of studio stuff coming up. We have our first EP which releases tomorrow of this year, Metamorphic 1. And, the single has done well, and remixes are going to come off the back of that.
Are there any plans for a Tritonal album?
Dave: I think, of course, someday there will be one. I mean, we're artists. Just like the course of any artist, there's going to be an album eventually. But, you know, we're swimming around in ideas. Everything is in the air right now, and we're waiting for it to all fall down into place, especially in the studio and stuff.
Chad: When we wrote "Piercing the Quiet" we knew what we were going to do on it. We had something to say and we were very laser-focused about what the album was going to be. And like, I don't just want to be another artist [that says] "Oh, I finished the first album, time to write the second!" Like, I don't want it to be a chore. I want it to be like, a piece of art that I know what I want to say, and here's what we're going to do, and this is what it means. Everything needs to be great, and I'm not ready to tackle that yet because we're still exploring things sonically.
You guys have been doing pretty well, and touring everywhere. But do you have a specific show or festival that has been memorable for you?
Chad: There's been so many. I mean, I think a really special one, and recently, was "Air Up There 100." It was our 100th episode in Austin. You know, to start the radio show there, and to end it there on the 100th episode, in our home town, and sell that out. Amazing!
Dave: I mean we've played EDC, we've played all these festivals, I mean the World DJ Festival in Korea, which was awesome. This one takes the cake, only because of that fact that it's so personal.
Chard: Yeah, it wasn't about the like, the whatever, 80,000 people. It was about hometown, in a market that isn't about trance or progressive house. They don't do those sort of shows, and to sell it out. And to have guys that we respect and look up to so much, like Kyau & Albert, and Super 8 & Tab on the event, was just personal to us. Like, I can remember when Dave and I started listening to the Kyau & Albert tracks. And to fast forward a few years later, to have these guys sort of opening up for us on our 100th episode – sick!
Are those guys particularly inspirational to you?
Dave: Oh man, yeah. We looked up to Kyau & Albert for the longest time – we still do! All the Euphonic guys. They're so intelligent when it comes to their sound design and the arrangement and how they do the vocals.
Chad: And we look up to a lot of [guys], you know Above & Beyond, and Armin, and we're in a good community, and we've been inspired by a lot of good artists. And you know, that speaks to what we've been able to achieve, because we've looked to what we think are class acts, and kind of said 'Look this is how these guys handle themselves in the studio, this is how they handle themselves on the road, and this is sort of like, the way we need to handle ourselves with our career.'
What is on your playlists or your iPods?
Chad: I don't have any dance shows on my iPod. Like, I get so many promos, and if I'm trying to catch up, I will. Like, I did listen to Hardwell's set, and I keep my ear to the ground on who's doing what and who's playing what, but like, when it's airplane time for me, it's like Pretty Lights, and M83, and stuff like that. Like zone out and chill out.
Dave: It's the same for me as well, especially, when you're flying to a club and playing at a club, you're going to hear it the whole night, you know. And for me, it's like chill as well, you know cinematic orchestra, all of that.
Since you guys fly around a lot, what's your favorite thing to do at the airport?
Chad: Watch "Breaking Bad."
Dave: He's so into that right now!
Chad: No, we like to work on tracks, and I don't know, like stay busy because it can become a lot of down time.
Dave: it can drive you crazy, but you got to take all the crazy with the beats!
Do you do a lot of producing on the road?
Dave: Yeah, we get ideas down on our laptop, because you obviously can't do everything on it. I like to see everything that's going on. I want to take it to some monitors. Of course you can take monitors with you, and some speakers, and whatnot. But I mean, for us, we like to be portable. We'll get all our melodies and ideas, and bring it back to the studio when we get home, and finalize them.
What has been the best Tritonian fan moment for you guys?
Chad: Wow! Man, that's a good question, there's been a lot!
Dave: You know there's one in particular, one of them is sitting here in the back of the room.
Chad: Yeah, we know who our fans are. Like Lori's in the back, and like she knew who we were back in the MySpace days! Like that's an era, like when MySpace was legitimate! That's funny. I don't know, like we've had people show up in like Tritonal costumes, dresses, like we had a cheerleader, the Tritonal cheerleader at EDC Las Vegas. That was an interesting look. There's been some cool moments. But I mean, really, it's not about that to us. It's just about like, their dedication and love for us online. We sort of cultivate that. Like I don't know, if you keep up with our social media, but we do take a lot of time and reply to questions, hashing out little arguments when they come up, replying to their requests for, you know, 'how do I do this in the studio,' 'will you take a listen to this song.' And like, just being real, like being down to Earth. You know, sometimes they're like 'eh, I don't like that track, you're sellouts.' And we have those conversations, and I think it's important to. I do not feel like I'm some big rock star, superstar dude who can't take two seconds and write a little reply. I can, and I do.
What has been the biggest embarrassing moment for you guys on stage?
Dave: Well of course we've had records stop on us all the time. That's happened, that's embarrassing, we'll go to crazy and flick a USB.
Chad: Oh, I got one, I got a good one! Vancouver! This one takes the cake. Vancouver, Halloween show, sold out. They've got some cheesy, like, the theme was like Batman. They had like a city in front of us on stage - Gotham City. And we have this like Ferry Corsten/ Dada Life "Kick Out the Epic" mash-up. And it's about to "kick out the epic" whatever, and I go to like, jump on stage, and the whole thing is just completely soaked with perspiration from the water. And I like, surf across it, kick the CD-J, the music stops right as it's about to drop. I go tumbling over the stage, six feet down, hit the floor. The whole club is just like .. pin drops. I got up, I got on the mic, I was like "YUP!" and hit play. Seriously we were waiting for the Twitter picture. We had a hashtag #chadsstagebail2012.
Dave: And what we were laughing about constantly was because part of the stage was on the end of the table, and it was bent over for the rest of the night!
Chad: But we were thinking we should probably be careful on the Ultra stage. That's a long way down there!
What is your guys' guilty pleasure?
Chad: Chocolate. Ice Cream. Cookies n' cream every time, double scoop, chocolate dipped waffle cone!
Dave: You're on it! Pizza's mine.
