(AP) Rusin solid again but Cubs lose to Pirates 3-1
By WILL GRAVES
AP Sports Writer
Chicago Cubs manager Dale Sveum isn't quite ready to give Chris Rusin a spot in the rotation next spring.
If Rusin's argument gets any more compelling over the next two weeks, Sveum might not have much of a choice.
Rusin pitched seven effective innings in a 3-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday night, allowing two runs and four hits while striking out two. He extended a string of stellar outings sure to leave a good impression with his manager heading into the winter.
Facing one of the National League's best teams against lefties, Rusin (2-4) had his only hiccup in the fourth when he allowed consecutive RBI singles to Marlon Byrd and Pedro Alvarez. Otherwise, the lefty was lights out as he continued his steady rise through the ranks.
Rusin needed to be sharp on a night when Pirates All-Star Jeff Locke returned to his first-half form. Locke (10-5) gave up three hits over seven innings in his first victory in nearly two months, helping the Pirates win their fourth straight to tie St. Louis for the NL Central lead.
Mark Melancon worked out of a two-on, none-out jam in the ninth for his 14th save. Jordy Mercer went 2 for 4 with an RBI double in the eighth that provided an insurance run.
Locke was an All-Star in July but hadn't won since beating Cincinnati on July 21. He struggled through August and never worked more than 5 2-3 innings in any start as his ERA rose from 2.11 to 3.23.
The left-hander stressed he wasn't fatigued and appeared to find something last week against St. Louis, giving up just two earned runs while battling through five innings. He carried it forward against the Cubs, who were coming off an impressive series win against the Reds.
Working both sides of the plate crisply _ a hallmark of his stellar first half _ Locke ran into only minor trouble against the Cubs. Darnell McDonald hit a ground-rule double to lead off the third and later scored on an RBI single by Starlin Castro.
That was all the Cubs could manage against Locke, who retired his final 10 batters thanks to more than a little help from his defense.
First baseman Justin Morneau scrambled into shallow right field in the fourth to make a snow-cone catch on McDonald's looper. Mercer made a spectacular jump throw from deep shortstop to nip Donnie Murphy in the sixth, and Gold Glove center fielder Andrew McCutchen slid on his belly to corral Junior Lake's sinking liner in the seventh.
They were the kind of plays Locke wasn't getting during his six-week swoon. They are the kind he'll have to rely on if the Pirates want to emerge from a three-way battle with St. Louis and Cincinnati with their first NL Central title.
Pittsburgh clinched its first winning season in 21 years during an exhausting nine-game road trip that concluded Wednesday with a three-game sweep of Texas.
The Pirates were given a long ovation when they walked onto the field, as a crowded PNC Park in mid-September _ a rarity over the last two decades _ let a generation of frustration out in 30 seconds of pure joy.
NOTES: The Cubs have switched to a six-man rotation for the final two-plus weeks of the season to give RHP Scott Baker more work. Baker is recovering from reconstructive elbow surgery. … The series continues Friday when Charlie Morton (7-4, 3.44 ERA) faces Chicago's Jake Arrieta (2-2, 4.28).

Orlando, FL
[15 Jul 2003|
St. Petersburg's show was very cool. We drove through rain and thunder in the swervy van and then we had to deal with our broken snare drum. It all worked out, though. Scott and Bruce from the Refuge did a great job, once again. This show was cool because it was acoustic... the only acoustic band show on the tour. We did an acoustic version of "The Bomb/Not A Cussword" and threw a bit of "Adrian" into "Rocket and a Bomb". It was fun!
The next night... which was last night, was cool as well. The motel we stayed in was awesome. It didn't have a phone! haha. A new experience for us, and it was all good. The show was in a rehearsal/recording studio and it was nice and loud. We managed to get through "Finding Angel" this time (for those of you who witnessed the flop at Cornerstone...) and we also did "Star Baby" for the first time ever. Drew and Michael have definitely refined their slapstick comedy act. It's almost funny now.
Right now we're hanging out in Orlando. Drew and I went to Downtown Disney to see "LXG" and it SUCKED!!! It looked pretty good and all, but it was pretty bad.
Anyway, what else... Michael and I hung out a bit at the CBA conference this afternoon. While Michael was utilizing the facilities, some guy came up to me (I was dorkily wearing my LSU shirt) and said, "I love your LSU shirt. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's shirt." It was interesting and a little bit frightening as well. Just kidding about being scared. But the rest is true.
Drew and I also went to some outlets and bought some clothes.
Ok, I'm obviously running out of things to say. I'm kind of tired. Good night!

Macon, GA
[11 Jul 2003|
We're in a hotel in Macon, Georgia right now. On Wednesday night we played The End in Nashville. We had a great time! Drew and Michael improvised some comedy into the show and it added to the dynamics. Even though that was only the third show that we played together, we follow each other pretty well.
The trip to Nashville was interesting. We drove all night but miscalculated our travel time and ended up in town at 7:00am. It's great to have three of us now, because the driving is split up between Andy and I. It's such a relief not to have to do all the driving myself.
We ended up staying in Nashville for two nights since our show in Mississippi didn't work out. It was a nice day to relax even though we had just left Chicago!
Right now Drew and Michael are going over some songs for our show in St. Petersburg tomorrow. It's an acoustic show so we have to make sure that we have enough songs (since we'd practiced for the electric stuff). It shouldn't be a problem... hopefully we'll have a great show! This tour is so much fun. I'm a musician and it's the first time I've been on a tour where I've actually been able to play.

C-Stone with Squad Five-O and Arriving in Nashville
[09 Jul 2003|
Friday night at Cornerstone was the Main Stage 20th Birthday Bash. Michael was asked by Squad Five-O if he would perform "Rock Stars On H" with them. Of course, he readily agreed and was very honored at their request.
Getting down to Main Stage was interesting. We didn't have a Main Stage pass so we had to stop every 10 feet to explain ourselves. The stage security were great, though, and we got backstage in good shape. We almost hit a few fans on the way down, but no casualties. Anyway, backstage was insane! There were so many people there, but the security had it very well organized.
After Squad's first song, their lead singer gave a flattering introduction to Michael and then they burst into "Rock Stars on H". Michael had a great time singing with them, especially in front of such a large and enthusiastic crowd.
We went home the next day. On the Sunday I went to see then band Holland play. They had a show in the Chicago area. Those guys are real cool and are a great band.
Our next show was on Monday night in Harvey, a suburb of Chicago. Ace Troubleshooter was on the bill, but 2 of the other bands backed out at the last minute. Holland were coming by to see the show so we asked the if they wanted to play, too. And they did... it was a night of good music.
Anyway, we'd been stressing out a lot lately about transportation. We borrowed Andy's friend Kevin's SUV for Cornerstone but were still working out details for a van for our tour. He had one that he could buy from his girlfriend's dad, but there were a lot of details to go over before that could happen... thankfully, everything worked out the night before we left! It's amazing how things come together.
All of the legal stuff regarding this HUGE van had to be done on Tuesday. We also had to get the AC fixed (it works now but it makes this really loud noise). We didn't end up leaving Chicago until about 10:30pm and we drove through the night, arriving in the Nashville area at around 7am. Right now it's just around noon. We checked into the hotel a couple of hours ago... Andy is already fast asleep and I will be soon.
We play tonight at The End here in Nashville and are looking forward to a great night.

Cornerstone Festival @ Gallery Stage
[04 Jul 2003|
We just got back from playing the Gallery stage. The lineup was the same as it will be on the forthcoming tour: Michael on vocals/guitar/bass, Andrew Neely on bass/guitar/vocals and me on drums.
We had a great time and I think the crowd did, too. We opened with "English Interpreter Of English" and it was cool to hear the crowd respond to a song from "The Grape Prophet." We also did "Rock Stars on H", "Rocket And A Bomb", "Kitty", "The Bomb/Not A Cussword", "Cool/Thru", "Double"... I'd write everything but we sold the song list (which was written on a paint canvas).
It's been hot here but not as hot as last year. It's great to see old friends and make new ones as well. Now that I'm on the Atkins diet I've realized that Cornerstone doesn't offer much for me to eat. I had to buy 3 ribeye steaks today and I'm still hungry!
One thing that is cool is that we got to meet Wes Marlan, the webmaster of www.michaelknott.com. We've been emailing and talking on the phone for over 2 years and this was the first time we met!
Tomorrow night Michael performs 2 of his songs with Squad Five-O on main stage as part of the Cornerstone Birthday Bash. It was really nice of them to invite Michael to perform with them and he's stoked.
Anyway, if any of you are here and checking emails and this journal, make sure to say hello.

Chicago, IL
[27 Jun 2003|
Here I am again, in windy Chicago. It's not very windy right now, but hopefully it will be soon.
I must apologize for my lack of updates near the end of the last tour. It got very busy and ironically, back at home with my own computer and cable internet, I just didn't have time.
I would like to say that all of the Canadian shows were great. We went to London, Ottawa, Kingston, Winnipeg and Edmonton, plus the "unplugged" show in my friends' backyard.
Our first gig on this tour is at Cornerstone. Hopefully we'll see many of you there.

Toronto, Ontario
[29 May 2003|
I'm sorry it's been a while since my last update. We got really busy with a lot of shows in a row, and it was hard to find a Kinko's...
Anyhow, after spending our time in Virginia we made our way through Delaware, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and New York. It was a long string of shows that all went really well.
The drive to New Castle, Delaware was long but that was mainly because we didn't go on any major highways. The promoter Matthew set up a band to play with Michael and they were great! Together they did Rock Stars on H, Star Baby, Cool/Thru, Kitty and Sorry.
The next day we drove to Nashua, NH. It would have been fine except for the crazy traffic through NYC. It's expected of course, but it always seems to be worse than that. It added over 2 hours to our time and was very frustrating. It was all worth it, of course. We had some time to wind down at the hotel before performing at Club Drifter's, run by Christian and his wife Starr. Some people from the opening band (Hawley Sawyer Rifle Co. - a great band!) took me out for a bit afterwards.
Harrisburg, PA was our next destination. It took a while to get there... we bypassed NYC figuring that we'd rather spend 2 hours driving normal speed than sitting in stop-and-go traffic. My friend Aaron came with his friend. I haven't seen him since he got married a year and a half ago. It was great to see him. The promoter not only worked hard for the show, but also bought a painting!
The next day Michael and I went to Aaron's place to see his wife and new baby. Her name is Kristy and their son's name is Noah. Aaron works in a military school... it was kind of odd being saluted by the students who walked by.
The drive to Philadelphia was nice and short. I had called the hotel that was booked for us by Jesse Eubanks (the promoter and a great artist) for directions and it ended up being a huge plaza hotel. It was a beautiful room... but I accidentally opened a $3.50 bottle of water in the room. They didn't make us pay for it, though. That night's show was in a church in downtown Philly.
King of Prussia is only a short drive away from Philadelphia... 20 minutes is definitely the shortest for this tour! A wonderful couple told Michael that he was more than welcome to live with them in their spare bedroom. Even though that probably wouldn't be able to happen, Michael was very touched by their offer.
Before the show I went to the famous King of Prussia mall. It was ... a mall. That night I left Michael at the hotel and went to see X-Men 2. It was good.
The next day was Memorial Day, so we didn't have a show. We took our time driving... well, actually, I tricked Michael and drove most of the way to Rochester while he was sleeping. He was mad, but only a little bit. Anyway, we stopped off in Syracuse for the night. While Michael painted, I went in search of a Kinko's only to find that it was closed. So much for being 24 hours, but I guess that as a Canadian I don't really understand Memorial Day.
Joel Votaw of Seven Head Division put on the show for the next night in Rochester. His band backed up Michael at the past two Cornerstone Festival performances (some songs from last year are on the new Tour CD
). Joel, Andy and Brian are so good and will hopefully get their break soon. It was great to see them again. They played really well and were great hosts. Michael's audience was younger than usual and they were especially attentive to his anecdotes before, after and during many of his songs.
When we returned the car we were blessed with an unexpected discount. A big one. Sharron, Shannon and Heather came to pick us up... it was very nice of them. Getting over the border was very easy. We had all of our paperwork in order and it was almost fun. My friend Sharon helped out a lot, so thanks!
Now we're in Toronto. It's so nice to be in my room again. I got really wired on coffee last night so I couldn't sleep, but it's all good. I've been burning CDs all day and Michael is working on some paintings (it seems like that's all he does, doesn't it?). It feels like the tour is over seeing that I've come home, but in reality we have 5 shows left and a whole album to finish recordeding then mix.
Dave just got here (remember him? he was the "tour manager's tour manager") and we're about to order some Chinese food. Michael and I are on the Atkins diet so I'm not sure what we can order without eating rice or noodles...
I hope to see lots of you at the Canadian shows.

Norfolk, VA
[20 May 2003|
Joanne and her family here in Eastern Virginia have graciously allowed me to use their computers here to check email and burn some CDs. Michael is playing "Halo" while I'm working. Seth, Joanne's son, is helping burn the CDs with his new Mac and Alisha, her daughter, opened up for Michael last night and will do it again tonight. Joanne's husband Rob helped clean up my dirty dishes after I ate some of Joanne's great cooking.
Anyway, the Charlotte show ended nicely. It was a fun gig and Dave got some good pictures. It was cool venue because you could drink a lot of coffee.
The next day we dropped Dave off at the airport and started our 6 hour drive to Virginia Beach. Joanne's friend was able to get us three nights in a beachfront resort hotel called Station One. It's beautiful and we are very greatful to them!
Sunday night was spent relaxing after a long and rainy drive. The show last night at The New Belmot in Norfolk was interesting. Michael was performing the way he usually does. There were about fifteen to twenty people at the bar or playing pool at the back. About six songs in, a bartender came up to the stage and told Michael that he had to stop soon because he was "bumming people out". Michael said, "Too much Jesus?" and she replied with an affirmative shrug. Michael did a quick version of "Rock Stars on H" and then jumped off.
He was pretty bummed out, obviously. He had noticed a couple of guys at the bar paying attention to him so he walked up to them and gave them each a CD. When we walked by them again later on the way out, the stopped him and asked him to sign it. They had really enjoyed what they saw and were pleasantly surprised because they didn't know that there would be live music that night. Another person at the bar commented on one of Michael's paintings and how she liked it. These things really made up for being asked to stop because it showed him that his music and art do reach people, even when it seems like it doesn't.
Tonight's show is also in Norfolk, in a different club called The Tap House Grill. Hope to see some of you there!

I'm in The Well right now and Michael is in the middle of the story that inspired "John Barrymore, Jr." This is a nice venue and what makes it nicer is the Internet access!
Last night was a show in Andrews, NC. It was a cool venue called The Rock. The promoter, Andrew, was a great guy!
Anyway, I think my typing is annoying people. Michael just told the story of how I became nicknamed "Jacob" and it's kind of embarassing...

This is going to be quick, much to the dismay of those who talk to me at shows and email me for "more information!!!". I'm doing what I can, but since we don't have a laptop, I'm bombarded with things to do every time I go online. I usually sit at the computer for over an hour and work straight through. I'll give the readers of this what I can, but please don't think that I'm skimping on information for any BAD reason.
The C-Stone Orlando show was great. There was a nice turnout and Michael performed amazingly. It was kind of funny. He went up to soundcheck the guitar and vocal mic and then just decided to start the show. It was early but I guess he was ready. The lights' power generator decided to catch on fire during his set, so most of it was done with the house lights on. I think it was better that way.
The next day we sat at the table that day but it was so hot that we had to leave. That night Dave and I went to Downtown Disney to see "A Might Wind". It was brilliant. We went to the Virgin store and I bought the Gorillaz DVD and a biography of The Smiths called "Morrissey and Marr: A Severed Alliance". Michael stayed at the hotel and painted.
We also got to go shopping a bit. We found the Dickies outlet and stocked up on our favorite work clothes!
The next day we drove two thirds of the way to Nashville. On Monday when we arrived we got a hotel and were lucky enough to be a 5-minute drive from the venue, The End. Once again there was a great crowd. Michael played another great show. I actually remembered to record it on my MD but I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet.
Those of you who know Michael's show know about the "sing-a-long" he likes to conduct in "Sugar Mama". The End's sound guy decided that they needed some help and added some delay to Michael's vocal every time that part came up. It was pretty funny, and Michael had fun playing around with it.
The next day was a day off. While Michael worked on some paintings, Dave and I went to explore Nasvhille. Our biggest goal was to find the replica of the Parthanon. Being half Greek, I felt that it was my duty to see it. Michael told us, quote: "Go past the freeway from where the venue is and you'll see it! You can't miss it." After driving around for over an hour, we finally found it. It turned out to be a 30-second drive from the venue in the OPPOSITE DIRECTION. Haha! He meant well, and blamed the mistake on his dyslexia.
Wednesday night's show was hosted by Jay Bakker's ministry in Atlanta, Revolution. It was held at a coffeehouse in Little Five Points called "If". The directions I had for the venue from Mapquest were really hard to follow and we were getting frustrated. Finally we found it and it ended up being a house. It was unbelievable! We were so lost and then we ended up in front of a big house with not a coffee in sight. I walked up to the door and a woman answered. I said, "Hi... do you happen to have anything to do with Revolution?". She said, "Oh, you'll want to talk to Ken." Ken ended up being the owner, who explained that the coffeehouse doesn't have a mailing address, so I had unknowlingly looked up directions to his house. Anyway, we ended up only being a couple of minutes away. Phew!
The show was great. It was pretty full of people and the Revolution hosts were great.
Now it is 4:00am. Today was off and Dave and I spent it hanging around with Brent from Revolution. We also managed to see The Matrix Reloaded. I'm tired and this is all you're getting this time! Thanks for letting me know that you're reading it when I meet some of you at shows. I'll give you as much and as many as possible. This ended up not being very quick.

Orlando, Florida
[09 May 2003|
We barely missed the tornadoes and now we are safely in Orlando, Florida. We stayed at my grandmother's house for a night and that was refreshing. Yesterday we picked up my friend Dave, who is going to be traveling with us until May 18. He's a friend of mine from home.
Tonight Michael plays Cornerstone, Florida. Dave and I were there setting stuff up and we're about to head back with Michael for his show. It looks pretty cool. It's very hot but not nearly as bad as the Cornerstone in Illinois!
I'd love to be able to post more about the shows. Sorry if I'm not giving you enough info. Usually my time on a computer is fairly short. I'll post as much as I can in the future. Also, feel free to post set list and stuff like that if you were at the show!
Michael's finishing up a couple of paintings right now in the hotel room. He's got two new in the "Serenity" series and is working on a "Bunge Boy". I'm sitting in the hotel lobby on this weird little Internet thingy. It's kind of expensive and it won't load up my email browser. I got in for a second before it screwed up and wouldn't reload. It's pretty frustrating.
The hotel receptionist just told me about an Internet Cafe down the road. I'll try to go there tomorrow.
Tonight's show should be really good. I'm excited... festivals are always a lot of fun. And we're in the Indoor Stage, which unlike the big Cornerstone is actually indoors... and air conditioned!

Birmingham, Alabama
[04 May 2003|
It's been a crazy few days since my last update in Indiana. The show that night was really fun. Jared and Phil were very nice and their school bought the "Serenity Horns" painting. The next morning we got up and drove all the way to ... somewhere... about an hour west of Memphis, in Arkansas. That's far. The next morning we drove the rest of the way to Dallas, making a total of 16 hours. Phew!
The Dallas show was cool. Bill the bartender was really nice. Doug played that night as well. He was great. A couple of fans were there but it was mostly regular patrons of the establishment; a bit different from usual but a welcomed change!
The next night was in Houston. The drive was pretty good but I was getting really tired. We checked into some hotel and rested for a bit before heading to the show. The promoter's name was Michael... a really nice guy. Michael's performance that night was breathtaking. I've seen a lot of his shows, but this one was... I don't know, it's hard to explain.
Anyway, something that's weird about Dallas and Houston is the way their freeways work. I didn't get it right away, and maybe "weird" isn't the right word for it... but you have to do all of these weird u-turns. You have to drive past where you want to go and then go back. Maybe it's just me... I dunno. I figured it out but I didn't expect it. Ok, I sound dumb.
The next day we were on the road at 8:45am, heading all the way from Houston back to Memphis. I drove for SO LONG. We got into Memphis at about 8:00pm and spent the next hour looking for a hotel. Everyone was booked solid for the "Memphis in May" festival... conveniently the same night as the show. We finally found a place that ended up only being a 15 minute drive from the venue. It was a cool place to have a show and right in the heart of the Memphis hardcore/punk/indie rock scene. The crowd was different than usual but very responsive to Michael's performance. He was amazing again... he did an incredible show. The promoter Jeremy was great and so was the guy who runs the place, Brad.
Anyway, my Kinko's card is almost out. We were supposed to only drive a couple of hours today but we could't find anywhere to stop between Memphis and Birmingham! We're both really burnt out and are really looking forward to relaxing these next few days. We have my friend Shannon's 4-track to play with, too. Should be fun!

Taylor University - Upland, IN
[29 Apr 2003|
The past few days have been busy. After Louisville, KY we were in Kansas City, MO. Kevin, the promoter, is a great guy. He was very understanding and a great host. It was great to see Lee Bozeman play some songs from his new project, "all things bright and beautiful". He's brilliant.
The show after that was in Belleville, IL. There wasn't a huge turnout but those that were there were awesome. Bob, the manager there (I think?) was very cool.
Tonight we're at Taylor University in Upland, IN. Jared and Phil have been my contacts here and are very helpful. I'm sitting here in somebody's office (Jared's?) and it's nice not to have a 20-minute limit on the computer like I did in the library the other day. Anyway, Phil's going to show me the fastest way to get to Dallas from here. We have to be there on Thursday night so we're looking at a couple of days driving ahead of us.
Lance and Andy from Chicago are Michael's band tonight. It's really nice to see those guys again.
Anyway, somebody asked me a while ago what DVDs I bought. Here they are: Donnie Darko; Gosford Park; Jimmy Neutron; The Dangerous Lives of Alter Boys and ... one more, I can't remember.
I just learned that this office I'm in is for the committe of "Intigration of Faith and Culture".
Today I hit my first used bookstore! I got some good books. I got a really cool, old hardcover edition of "Crime And Punishment" with color illustrations in it. I love that book. I also bought some Hemingway and some other stuff that I can't recall off the top of my head.
Tonight's show is with Joy Electric. I met Ronnie Martin for the first time last week at Ichthus and he's a really nice guy.
Michael and I are going to start recording another album in hotel rooms. It's going to be a worship album. He's started writing for it and in our days off next week we're going to try to get as much done as possible.
That's it for now!

Louisville, KY
[25 Apr 2003|
Last night was the Ichthus Festival in Wilmore, KY. It went really well. There were a good number of people to see Michael considering that it's more of a "pop" fest. It was cool. It was nice to meet some of you there.
Tonight was Louisville, KY. I'm at Bellarmine University right now ... Erik Horrell, the promoter, brought me here. It's weird cos it's a small room and it's REALLY QUITE. People are studying here and my typing seems to be very loud. Oh well, rock'n'roll...
The show tonight was great: great fans and a great promoter!
I'll try to post set-lists... I'll try to remember to write them down. Tonight he did a song that we just recorded in Chicago, "The Controls".
Anyway, it's time for me to go. We have an 8 1/2 hour drive tomorrow to Kansas City. Hope to see some of you there.
Here's some more answers to some questions I saw on my last entry's comments:
1. "Comatose Soul", when it is manufactured, will contain at least one bonus track from the same studio sessions.
2. the new CDs will be available on the website after the tour. they were compiled for this tour specifically.

Another Late Night
[23 Apr 2003|
It's about 5am the night before (or morning of) the day we leave for tour, for our first gig at Ichthus festival. We worked hard the past couple of days, getting as much done on the recording as possible. The unmixed versions of the songs are really exciting to listen to. This is definitely a landmark Michael Knott album.
We weren't able to get the two new CDs duplicated as planned so I spent quite a few hours at Annie's computer. Thanks to her and Andy for helping out. We burned over 100 CDs tonight... that's a lot. Andy's going to finish the rest for me and give them to me when he and his band plays with Michael at the Taylor University gig.
I'm going to go to sleep now. Hope to see many of you very soon.

Recording #4
[22 Apr 2003|
Today we did another song. It was originally on "Finding Angel" and was titled "Sun Shine". It's a punk song and it sounds great. Mike (not Knott) played drums and Andy did all of the guitars. It's pretty hot.
Andy and I also finished up most of the music for "Dizzy Daisy". This one sounds so good so far that it's scary. It consists almost completey of live loops. I just came upstairs after working on it for about 3 hours. I really can't believe how great this song sounds.
I'm tired. We have one more full day here and then it's off to the Ichthus Festival in Wilmore, Kentucky. Hopefully we'll get everything done. In addition to recording there is a lot to do before hitting the road. Lance is working hard getting the two new CDs duplicated for us and we still have to buy cases. Thanks also to my cousin Geoff for getting the covers printed up!
Good night...

Other Updates...
[19 Apr 2003|
Tonight we went to see Andrew's band "Thrift Store Heroes" play... somewhere around here. They were great... a lot of kids came out to see them! Mike (not Knott) was playing drums, and Rob is the bass player. They sounded awesome and it was their first gig playing together (Andy's band line-up tends to change a lot, apparently).
Michael wants it to be known that Janey, Annie's dog, isn't as consistently afraid of him as before; she only runs away barking some of the time. He's given her an obscene amount of treats to try and woo her (but I don't think it's really working).
I had quite a difficult time changing my Canadian dollars into USD. Finally I found a place (thanks to Mike and Andy) downtown Chicago that ended up charging an $8 service fee. Oh well, what else could I have done?
I picked up the new Pete Yorn disc the other day. Circuit City had it on sale for $5.99. I was stoked. I also bought the album by "Postal Service" (recommended by my friend Aaron Weese) but I haven't had the chance to listen to it yet. I also picked up some DVDs. I'm not really a shopaholic but I can't resist when things are really cheap compared to at home.
I've also found some time to read while I'm here. I just finished "Choke" by Chuck Palahniuk and I'm now reading a short story by Dostoevsky called "The Gambler".
Anyway, I hope that's enough of an update. I'll try to do this more often while I have regular access to a computer.

It's only been a couple of days, but I've already had quite a few people complain that I'm not updating the journal. At least that assures me that people are reading it... I know that Michael's mom is checking it... so I want to tell her that Michael has some more blankets downstairs and has slept very well the past couple of nights!
Since a couple of days ago, we've worked on a few more songs. One is called "The Beggar". It's a real vintage-sounding song... a lot of soul, a lot of groove. We ended up only using the room mic for the drums and it sounds schwaite. I can't believe how well that mic picked everthing up. It's really hip cos the drums are in mono but the guitars are totally spread. Lance played drums and bass. The song is great.
I should probably mention that almost every guitar track is played by Andrew Neely (who is also one of our hosts here, as well as the engineer and co-producer). He's an amazingly talented guitarist and everything else, too. I mean musically. (?)
Another new one's working title is "Doing Fine". It's kind of wacky but really driving and catchy. I'm thinking that I want to use it as the album opener. Mike (not Knott) played drums, Lance played bass.
Yesterday we worked on two others. The first is a catchy, groovy song called "Dizzy Daisy". So far we've only got Michael's scratch guitar and vocal, plus a 2-bar drum loop that I played. The other song is "The Controls". This is a cool one... it's got hints of funk in it, plus some bluesy rock'n'roll guitar and a lot of edge.
This album is going to be great. The songs are versatile and very accessible. It's an interesting showcase of the many facets of Michael's writing styles. The whole vibe is very retro 70's and very current as well. It's turning out to be a very rootsy rock and roll album. "Andy Warhol" is destined to be a hit. If this song does not put Michael Knott "on the map" then there is no hope for the music industry. Period. I know that I have some bias in that statement... but I try to be objective! Hopefully everyone will hear it soon enough.

Today we did another song called "Losing Angel". It's kind of Nirvana meets My Bloody Valentine, with a whole bunch of other British stuff thrown in there. It's pretty driving. Andy's friend Mike was here so he ended up laying down the drums. What a solid drummer that guy is... it was fun to watch. At one point the drum stool broke and he fell down, right on his ankle. He walked around a bit and then was ready to go, sitting on the wheeled office chair that Andy sits on when he's engineering.
Later on in the night - probably starting at around 1:30 am - we started working on another song that ended up being called "Jet Girl". Lance was back... Michael asked him to lay down 3 or 4 minutes of drums. Lance lay down a wicked groove and then Michael came down and did some... interesting stuff. You'll have to hear it to know what I mean.
For some reason, Michael has been sleeping on the floor in this computer room. He keeps forgetting to pull out the bed on the couch downstairs. Tonight I did it for him so hopefully he'll have a good sleep.
I just downloaded a new blur song. WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW

In the past 24 hours we've done most of the work on 3 new songs... one is called "Sunbeam", the other "Andy Warhol" and the third is "Annie Get Your Gun". They're basically done except for vocals... Michael's still writing the second verse of "Andy Warhol". They're sounding great.
Andy is engineering and playing guitar and bass. His friend Lance is doing drums and bass... I did some drums and will be doing some background vocals later on. It's working really well with Andy and I producing. He's a really talented guy; we're lucky to have him (and thankful for the use of his studio!). His friend Lance is also crazy talented... apparently his band is in negotiations with some major labels.
Basically, this is how we're doing it: Michael does a scratch guitar and scratch vocal, and then goes upstairs and tries to get Annie's dog Janey to like him. Andy and I work for hours getting the song to actually resemble a song, and then Michael comes back down and screams and yells about how much he likes it. It's an interesting process, but it works for me!

Are you sure it plays MP3 in stereo and not just the radio when connected to a headset.
i agree with wobbuffet, new phones will coming up always... there is no phone that will be remain the best for more than 1 year, however, the best phone of the year tent to carve into ppl's mind..
Chower, $1088 is for 21 months plan. $1188 is for upgrade.
$1388 is Singtel's RRP.
The price for N90 without contract should be $1188, with contract $1088. i saw it selling in the Orchard Hello Singtel. Check it out yourself.
Hi Calvin, what version of OS do you have? It might be the old version (dated early July 2005).
I jus got my N90. After using it for a few days, i found tat there r several "bugs" in its Operating System(OS). So, i had to bring it back to Nokia Service Centre HQ. Even specialized Nokia technicians cant help about tat, after all this is the version alpha N90 OS.
In my opinion SHARP 903 is the only for now that can be seriously compared with N90, W800 is completely another category and only camera features are comparable.
-better display resolution
-rotating camera
-Zeiss lenses
-Symbian OS
-3D stero sound with dual speaker (what do you say W800 fans?)
-more brilliant screen with wider angle of view
-radio FM
-internal camera
By the way N90 is the one I like more, because of the original swivelling design.
And you? Which one do you think is the best, N90 or SHARP 903?
There's no doubt that next year there will be handsets with more features than N90.
It's the rule!Is there a mobile that after a year from the launch date is still the best on the market for his features?
Of course not. Neither Nokia, nor SE.
Still now N90 has some rivals with comparable features coming in few weeks (Sharp 903, N91, SE P1000) and in 2006 the new rivals could have more pixels and faster application download with 3.5g (HSDPA High Speed Downlink Packet Acces)
Maybe they could also stream digital tv channels recieving dvb-h signal.
However N90 will never lose its style.
It will remain for long time an exclusive handset, with features that are simply uniqe, as Zeiss glass optics, double definition screen, and an enchanting mechanic, making this phone the only one transforming into a videocam.
Tim, Phone price will be 1388 RRP in Singapore. This is due to the stock shortage.
I really like this phone, but WHY THE MMCMOBILE card??!!!!!!
There's only about 3 readeres in the world that can read them!!
That means:
1. You can't buy a nice 10-in-1 drive for your PC and read it.
2. You can't take it into Boots and get photos printed directly from the machine, because it won't read them.
Why didn't they just put MMC, or SD?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hahaz.. I dint laugh.. Keke.. It's metal.. and plastic.. Depend on which part ya toking abt.. Peace ppl..
is the silver parts in the picture metal or just plastic? Don't laugh. we still don't have this phone in market in here.
N90 is definetely the phone of the year 2005, theres no other phone this year that compares to it and i think it will also be phone of the year 2006 and why are you comparing N90 with the rubbish P850, thats like comparing N91 to a Samsung C210, no way does P850 even come close to the N90. The only phone that can be compared to the N90 is the Samsung D600 but N90 still kicks the D600's ass in every specification. Now how can you say K750 is better than the 6230i, the 6230i easily beats the K750 apart for the 0.7 more megapixel camera. 6230i has EDGE technology which means you can connect and browse the internet faster unlike the K750 which only has GPRS which means it takes extra long in loading a page and finding anything on the internet, the 6230i also has Push to Talk which means you can use your phone as a walkie talkie. All phones should have this feature now and EDGE but Sony Ericsson still like to use old technology which makes the K750 a useless phone. 6230i's polyphonic ringtones sound better, 6230i has a better screen resolution, 6230i also looks more stylish unlike the K750 which looks cheap especially when you look at the keypad. 6230i would also knock out W800 cause it has the same features as the K750 and looks like a childs toy phone. The main thing is no other phone of this year or next year will be able to beat the N90.
to DavidM
i wasnt saying that P850 is better than N90, i just say that there are possibilities that actually Nokia is copying samsung. I read it in a thread in mobile-review, and i really find that they are similar, the differences is that in the camera position, where nokia has 3 different part, samsung only has 2, but both of them can be rotated.
imagine if these two phones in close position and put it side a side... it is only slightly different. Probably the only feature that is offered by P850 that is superior to N90 is only the size of the camera which is 3,2 megapixel
U guys know any games for this phone it comes with 3D pool and a bad card game i put Snake EX and mosquitos any others u know and any software is for this phone like improve camara and stuff like that
what is the highest the N90 can surport i herd if u put a 1 gb in 6680 it will be slow soooo much is that true with N90 can somone test it for me please thanks ha ha ha
And theres no Firmware in india Highter that wht it comes with man mine is reallllllly buggy
Nice, but if 256mb Nokia memory card (original) is about 80 how much is going to cost 1gb (original)
Yes of course, you can use 1GB. N90 is way too advanced if it will not support this big. and it can also support 2GB in the near releases. i know. coz i know. LOL.
128MB will occupay a 32min 28sec of superb high video quality from the N90. So 1GB translated to MB:
1024MB / 128MB = 8pcs. of 128MB RSMMC
8 RSMMC x 32mins vid recording = 256mins
which is equivalent to 4.266 hours of superior video recording with sound! take that.
No any other phone is comparable with the N90's COMBINED business, entertainment, and Technological advancements - as of the moment. ;o) Cheers.
I just bought n90 last week and im surprised,the picture,video,functions is realy good..i rate this phone as number one in the world when it comes to mobile phones..can we used 1 gig to this phone?

Robert Knepper
2 years ago
Posted by Alex
Robert Lyle Knepper was born in Fremont, Ohio on 8th July 1959 but was also raised in Maumee, Ohio where his father, Donald Knepper, worked as a veterinarian. His love for acting may have begun when his mother, Pat Deck, who passed away in 2003, was working in the props department for the community theatre, thus getting him involved in the productions.
His passion for acting lead him to study drama after he graduated from Maumee High School in 1977 at Northwestern University which he quit in 1981 when he was about to graduate. During his time at Northwestern, Knepper also experienced professional roles in plays in Chicago but then after leaving Northwestern went to New York City and continued in theatre.
Knepper started his film career with That's Life in 1986 and was about to give up acting before he was cast as T-Bag in Prison Break and become a park ranger to support his family. Knepper is married to Tori Herald and has one son with her, Benjamin Peter Knepper.

E & O Insurance – An Essential Safety Net for Notaries
Lawsuits are a serious concern for notaries who work as small businesses and independent contractors. This is why legal and business experts strongly advise notaries to take out Errors and Omissions ("E&O") insurance. "E&O" policies will give notaries peace of mind as they provide both legal and financial protection against possible lawsuits. It's a safety net against financial losses or court costs which can be very high in case of a legal dispute.

On land they look like awkward blobs, sprawled inelegantly across the rocks, smelling bad and doing little to impress. But underwater, seals are altogether different. Streamlined and quick, they treat the cold waters around Duiker Island, near Cape Town's Hout Bay, as their personal playground and visiting snorkellers as something new to play with. Check out the video to see their playful underwater behaviour for yourself.

Miminally invasive direct coronary artery bypass
Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) is a novel method for bypassing diseased coronary arteries that can replace open coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG) in certain situations, most commonly when bypassing the left anterior descending artery (LAD) with a left internal thoracic artery (LITA) graft. The main difference from traditional CABG is that sternotomy is avoided. The procedure is often performed without placing the patient on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) ("off-pump" procedure).
The procedure can be performed for multivessel disease as part of a hybrid procedure that includes percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Coronary surgery that circumvents sternotomy and/or CPB results in lower perioperative morbidity and mortality rates compared to "traditional" CABG. 2 Patient selection criteria can thus be expanded to include older patients with significant comorbidities.
On this page:
- proximal occlusion/stenosis unsuitable for PTCA
- failed PTCA
- prior CABG with occluded vein grafts and patent internal thoracic artery
- multivessel disease in patients with associated risk factors who are at high risk for cardiopulmonary bypass, i.e. patients with COPD, CRF, aortic atheroma, diffuse vasculopathy)
- ischemic cardiomyopathy with anterior wall ischemia
- as part of a hybrid procedure for multivessel disease (i.e., MIDCAB and concomitant PTCA)
- as an adjunct to major noncardiac procedure, e.g. abdominal aortic aneurysm repair 2
Contraindications are all relative and are becoming obsolete as the technique is constantly being refined:
- myocardial bridge
- small, diffusely diseased coronary artery
The internal thoracic artery is dissected using three ports, similar to abdominal laparoscopic technique, then grafted to the coronary vessel through a 5 cm-wide left intercostal incision.
Nowadays, there are centres where minimally invasive cardiac surgery is being performed with the assistance of robotic arms, to further minimise damage to thoracic and cardiac tissue 3.
Radiographic features
Plain radiograph
Since sternotomy is avoided, surgical clips around the heart borders are the only telltale sign of previous coronary surgery.
If the patient's medical history is unavailable, the differential diagnosis for surgical clips projected over the mediastinal border includes:
- partial pneumonectomy
- in some cases, additional signs of pulmonary surgery will be absent, depending on the extent of surgery (segmentectomy vs lobectomy) and chronicity, i.e. whether the remaining lung has had ample time for compensatory hypertrophy
- clipping of a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA): single metal clip in the aortopulmonary window
High-resolution CT (HRCT) with coronary CT angiography (cCTA) is an invaluable "one-stop shop" for surgery planning. Thin-slice ECG-gated CT with reformations and 3D reconstructions afford the cardiac surgeon the ability to 4-6:
- identify patients suitable for MIDCAB, based on native artery anatomy and calcium score, as well as potential graft anatomy
- plan the approach
- visualise the exact locations of previously performed bypass grafts to avoid damaging them during the procedure
As yet, CT is superior to cardiac MRI, as most MR machines in use today have lower spatial resolution and therefore cannot visualise small coronary artery anatomy as accurately as CT. In addition, MRI cannot be used to perform calcium scoring.
Preoperative and postoperative coronary angiography has been mostly eschewed in favour of coronary CT angiography. Catheter angiography is invasive in itself and suffers from limitations such as non-visualisation of occluded grafts, inability to perform calcium scoring. It cannot reveal any relevant anatomy outside the vessel lumen, either, such as myocardial or epicardial fat bridging 6.

Six by 6 | Six superhero series Joe Hill & Gabriel Rodriguez could do
During an exclusive interview with CBR TV at WonderCon in Anaheim, bestselling author Joe Hill revealed that he's working with his Locke & Key collaborator Gabriel Rodriguez on a "established superhero title" for DC Comics or Marvel. While he's best known for comic creations that don't wear a cape or cowl, Hill is no stranger to superheroes: He's producing The Cape for IDW Publishing, and he made his comics debut in 2005 in Marvel's Spider-Man Unlimited #8. Although news of what character (or characters), what universe, or even what format their superhero story will be, we have a few suggestions:
Astonishing Spider-Man: Hill made his comics debut doing a Spider-Man story, so it'd be poetic to see him return to Marvel on the back of the webslinger. There's a new movie coming out, and the Astonishing Spider-Man title in particular would seem a great fit for Hill and Rodriguez to jump in and do a compact, vibrant run.
Etrigan: It'd be an off-beat choice to do a character that's never really flourished, but in a way that opens up the possibilities for what Hill and Rodriguez could do to make it into a high-profile book. Imagine the way Neil Gaiman took to the Sandman concept to make his own Dream and the Endless, and put that kind of scope and passion into an Etrigan series.
Shazam: Geoff Johns and Gary Frank are already breaking new ground with Captain Marvel Shazam in the back pages of Justice League, but inevitably there will come a time where the thunderstruck hero will need to spread his wings in his own series. While seeing Johns and Frank continue would be great, imagine how Hill and Rodriguez could take to Billy Batson and all things Shazam.
Fantastic Four: Marve's First Family was brought up indirectly in the CBR TV interview when Hill was asked about the idea of thought balloons in modern comics. Although he was just using it as an example, it is a startling quote: "If the thought balloons were like, Reed Richards, like, looking at Dark Phoenix and she's in the Dark Phoenix thong or whatever and the thought balloon was like, 'Man, I'd like to do her,' that would be fresh." Imagine that.
Superman: Although some might peg Hill as more of a Batman guy, I'd argue he might have more to say about the Man of Steel given the landscape that Superman's comic mythos provides. From idyllic childhood in small-town America to the arrival in the big city to journeying to alien worlds, I'd love to see Hill provide a new context.
After Watchmen: Fan fervor aside, Before Watchmen is destined to be a high seller … and given that potential preposition "Before", who's to say DC couldn't carry it on with an "After"? Picture it: Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez picking up the pieces after the end of Watchmen, literally, with a lowly intern at the New Frontiersman sifting through the remnants of Rorschach's Journal.
Watch CBR's video interview with Joe Hill yourself and tell us what you think he and artist Gabriel Rodriguez are up to in the world of superheroes.

Clark University History Professor Janette Greenwood has teamed up with retired teacher and Charlton historian Frank Morrill to research the identities of some early Worcester residents — people of color — pictured in rare photographs that date back to the turn of the last century.
The photos are those of the late William Bullard, of Worcester, a photographer who, between 1894 and 1914, took thousands of images of the city's streetscapes, businesses and local residents. Morrill, who has published books about Worcester, purchased Bullard's collection — approximately 4,800 glass plates — with the intent to publish another book focused on the city's streets and architecture. It wasn't until his granddaughter inquired about a person of color in one of the photos that he realized he possessed a unique historical treasure — roughly 200 images of people of color — many of whom lived in the Beaver Brook area of Worcester within the first four decades after obtaining their freedom.
A mutual acquaintance connected Morrill and Professor Greenwood, aware that the latter had researched the migration of former slaves to Worcester in the late 19th century. The pair joined forces in January, and since then, they have identified all but a quarter of the people in the photographs by referencing the photographer's log book, census and other historical documents.
"The number of negatives he had and the fact that we could identify most of the people in them by name, and even street number, was incredible," said Professor Greenwood.
Professor Greenwood immediately recognized some of the names of people she uncovered while conducting research for her book, "First Fruits of Freedom: The Migration of Former Slaves and Their Search for Equality in Worcester, Massachusetts, 1862-1900," published in 2010. However, these photos revealed much more. They gave valuable clues about this period of history.
"People focus too often on the Civil War and they look at the Civil Rights Movement when they think about black history, but there's so much in between," she said. "The collection represents a unique time often overlooked."
Professor Greenwood and Morrill were struck by the photographer's obvious skill and also by the tone of his photographs. Bullard, a white photographer, treated his subjects with a great deal of respect. All of the people in his portraits appear dignified and proud; some of them are featured wearing formal attire, sitting proudly in their living rooms.
"[The photos] reflect a real interest, a real respect for this group of people, which is uncommon at the time," said Professor Greenwood.
Professor Greenwood and Mr. Morrill created a blog to record the progress they've made identifying the photographs. The website is also being used to thank people who've helped uncover details about the photos, and is a way for the general public to view a list of the people featured in the collection, and enlist their help assigning names to photos, providing context and information regarding descendants.
Professor Greenwood plans to enlist her undergraduate students this spring to continue the historical research on the pictures.
"This is a tremendous opportunity for students to participate in groundbreaking research that will not only impact multiple individuals, but an entire community, with national implications. This real-world project is a perfect example of the type of meaningful exercise we look to offer students through Clark's innovative new Liberal Education and Effective Practice LEEP initiative."
Professor Greenwood and Mr. Morrill hope to curate an exhibit with between 40-60 of the photographs and their stories. She also hopes to publish a book featuring the photos.
Professor Greenwood teaches a variety of courses in U.S. History including Race and Ethnicity in American History, History of the American South, Reconstruction, and The Gilded Age, and is affiliated with Clark's program in Race and Ethnic Relations. She has taught at Clark since 1991.

Server Day 0: 09:21 50%
We settled at an even 50% after the initial assaults. The Axis began a heavier Northern push. Elements of the Allied Airborne Army were able to grab Hopsten Airfield early on, but was eventually displaced. This did buy time for our Main Line of Resistance (MLR) to develop deep into Holland and parts of Germany.
Twenty four hours into the war and the front line for the Allies was solid and holding. The Axis began a push towards Eindhoven which is typical since 'S-Hertogenbosch is a key territorial grab for them.
Word was put out to keep the pressure on the Axis in the North until their spirit broke or until they take Den Haag.
Allied HQ reconnaissance informed that the Allies in the South was looking weak but holding.
The EU AAA crew in conjunction with Allied HQ began to make a push in the south. Orders can to begin a focus on the South and the US crew picked up where the EU finished.
After a few server maintenance issues and reboots – the war was back on and the Allies that stationed in the south had a great jump taking a large section of territory as the Allies approached the Southern Rhinland.
Allied HQ reported Axis strengthened up their defenses in the South and have resorted to extensive chain blocking to keep HQ at bay.
Server Day 4: 07:06 54.5%
Overall the gains in the south were significant. The EU Allies were able to encircle the Southern Axis forces and the US AAA and HQ cleaned up south stablizing the line at the same time keep the Axis forces in the North from making any considerable gains.
Allied HQ EU called for a break out of enemy defense around Mainz; capture Frankfurt AF, then go for Wetzlar and Nuremberg; cut off enemy south right of Nuremberg; advance from Wetzlar to Hopsten and destroy all axis west of Hopsten.
The US Allies began working North and middle fronts and began making progress around Roermond and Eindhoven aiming to squeeze around the middle more.
The EU plan to push North was quickly countered from the east by the Axis, so progress was slow.
Allied held their ground and AHQ and AAA closed the gaps and the US Allies came in to mop up the Axis caught behind our new MLR.
Server Day 6: 05:35 57.1%
The Allies continued the Northern push north and we took Winterswijk and the back side of the North was more in our control.
Reports from HQ stated that the deep South was well garrisoned for the Allies, at least immediately behind the frontline through most parts of this war.
EU AAA reported half empty cities behind Alzey as a juicy target for an Allied breakthrough.
Server Day 8: 09:08 55.7%
The US AAA noticed the Axis beginning an attack in the deep South and began drawing up an operation to both counter and attack the deep south.
Called for simply overwhelming the Southern route through Germany into Berlin.
The Operation name changed to Operation Castration from Operation Southern Roots by the EU AAA boys as the operation called more for snipping the Axis' little schnitzel off.
The US AAA began their push and made serious progress as they cut the south to Ulm creating two separate pockets and advancing fairly far into the Axis' front.
The Allies in force began setting up a defensive perimeter around Holland aiming to keep the Axis pinned in Germany and protect Holland from another invasion.
After some epic fighting, Enschede fell painfully to the Allies as that is a tough town for the Allies to hold due to the many roads into it. The Allies held all gains during our EU-US Operation happy hour. Even during the morning and noon we could advance and hold our lines.
In the North Allies captured territroy till Assen, only groningen had to be captured to have the whole north of the Netherlands. In the Center the Allies won Soest and had a small breakthrough at Bielefeld and Paderborn. The Southern Lines were holding and even a bit improving by public allies. Auerbach and Nurnber are blue!
A weak Allied Breakthrough in the North developed. The Allied Airborne Army moved a force into the Northern push. Stuffed Oldenburg and shored up around Hopsten.
US AAA moved through the south to capture Kuasers Airfield then to Pfremid closing a good size gap. Again chain blocking was a nucense. The Axis recieved heavy losses for espeically their armor in the south. They tried but failed to repel the AAA but eventually they gave up.
Server Day 26: 04:55 90.5%
Jutterbog AF became the target in the south as it's proved difficult to go much further. We secured the town of Jutterbog as well as made progress in the north.
We pushed across Denmark. Which was not totally secured. We made a push towards Wittingen and Ehra Factory as a nice belly stab.
South Berlin area was a conveyor belt of Axis ATs and very active on the Allies side.
EU AAA and HQ started a para strike in an effort to capture Eberswalde. The push towards Berlin began slowing and the Allies were inching their way forward.
The Axis has some fight in them as they manage to breakthrough the southern Allied defenses forcing HQ and the AAA to work out a plan of attack which called for the destruction of Dresden. This would become a two day fight as the Axis chain blocking was hitting a max in the war paralyzing the Allies.
Adding to the Allies worries were 'black holes' forcing players to maneuver around. With the Allies in Germany this meant that it would take an additional 1/2 hour of annoyance to bring supplies to the front lines.
After losing nearly 20% of the map over two days, the Allies knew they either had to sink or swim. Word was put out to the Allies on how to go around these 'black holes'. "When going North and spawning from England, move to London then to Stansted AF in Northern England. Then to Den Oever so you get around Apeldoorn. From there you are clear. If you are heading south, just send it directly to Moulins AF in the deep south, from there you can hit anything without them getting bugged.".
The Axis began a solid Breakthrough with a lot of momentum in the North. It took everything the Allies had to hold it, even that was proving too much.
Within a few short hours, the Allies lost over 10% of the war. However, the US Allied Airborne Army did capture Dresden and secured the crap out of it expecting a major Axis effort to take it back.
At this point a decision of taking Berlin had to be made. No soft stuff, no trying to secure everything. Just one hard, massive push toward Berlin. The War needed to end. The Axis gains in the North were getting critical and the Allies were holding onto a thread at Dresden by the time the US AAA were back online.
The Allied Airborne Army with the aid of EU HQ and Task Force, came thru Cotbus and Zossen for the win never losing a battle along the way. the crew was solid on TS and we took Berlin in under 10 minutes when we finally got town battle. We were dominating skirmish maps, holding all 3 points. We used one of the AAA paras all the way up till Berlin. One unit lasted 6 battles.
The Allies went for broke and it paid off.

You know that feeling when you want to watch one more episode of Stranger Things or Luke Cage … or go to bed — that's the biggest competition for Netflix, says CEO Reed Hastings.
Sure, Netflix's competition in streaming video seems to grow daily. Amazon's studio won three Oscars for its film Manchester By The Sea — it hits the streaming service May 5 — and will stream Thursday Night Football this season. YouTube TV has begun to roll out and Hulu will soon add live channels to its service.
But Netflix's real competition is sleep, Hastings said during an interview with analysts after the Net TV provider released its first-quarter financials Monday.
When viewers get addicted to a Netflix show, "you stay up late at night," he said. "We are really competing with sleep on the margin."
Netflix viewership and consumption is growing, but it's "nowhere near as big as YouTube," Hastings said. Remember, YouTube says users watch about 1 billion hours of videos daily on its network worldwide. "We've definitely got YouTube envy," Hastings said.
Amazon is "doing great programming and they will continue to do," Hastings said, "but I'm not sure it will really effect us very much because the market is so vast."
To put the content and consumer relationship into perspective, Hastings reminds that while Netflix has grown to about 50 million U.S. subscribers, HBO has "continued modestly growing. They haven't shrunk," he said. "Why? Well, it's because we are like two drops of water in the ocean of both time and spending for people."
With Netflix set to sign up its 100 millionth subscriber worldwide this coming weekend, the service is looking toward the future. "The next 100 million subscribers will be far more likely to be watching on mobile than the first 100 million," said chief content officer Ted Sarandos.
To that end, Netflix is experimenting with ways to re-scan already-produced programming to appear better on smartphones. The goal? "To basically have faces be larger," Hastings said. "It's super-experimental. It's a neat idea about how to adapt to the future."

circa late 1950s, and below,
as a young father, circa 1964.
Most of you never knew my father, but take my word for it, he was a force to be reckoned with. Born in Brazil, he came to Canada to attend Queen's University, where he met my mom. (If you've ever met my mom, you'll know that once that happened, he wasn't going anywhere.) He lived the remaining chapters of his life in Canada, but the aura of worldly exoticism never left him. He was an intriguing mix of machismo and tenderness, fearlessness and kindness, fiery wit and quiet reflection. He prized decency and integrity and honesty, and he did not suffer fools gladly. If he didn't like you, you knew it. And you probably deserved it.
My earliest memory of my father is of him scooping me up after I'd nicked my foot on a piece of glass in a ditch. And then running full tilt for the entire three blocks between the ditch and our home.
"This must be really bad!" I remember thinking. "I'd better start bawling to show my appreciation for all this effort he's putting into it."
There were many variations on that theme as I grew up, with Dad always being there for me, larger than life, in any real or perceived crisis. Even when it wasn't easy, which it almost never is when you're dealing with a hormonal, eyeball-rolling, self-absorbed adolescent daughter. (And there is no other kind of adolescent daughter.)
As I write this, I realize that I'm trying to make you realize what an amazing man my father was, how much living and how much inimitable character he packed into his six short decades. But I can't. There's too much to say, and in the end all that matters anyway is that he loved his family with an unwavering ferocity. He would have given his life for us, and we knew it.
I can never tell you enough stories or share enough photos to make you know my father for the man he was, but that's okay. The important thing is that we all think of our own stories and look at our own photos and above all, cherish our own father, today and every day. Because believe me, you never know when your last day with your father will come, but when it does, you won't be ready to let him go. You'll always wish you'd had one more chance to say "I love you, Dad. Happy Father's Day."

Editioned by Galerie Steph Simon, Paris, France.

About Serge Mouille
Born and raised in Paris, iconic lighting designer Serge Mouille began his career creating silverware, but by the early 1950s he had shifted his focus to light fixtures. He saw his own practice as a corrective to the "too complicated" Italian models that by that point were all but flooding the market. Large and graphic, Mouille's lamps' contorted black-painted metal forms, often designed to hang from walls and ceilings, evoke the kinetic mobiles of Alexander Calder.
