Ask PSLS: What Did You Think of VGX, and How Would You Change it Going Forward?
With VGX (the VGX?) happening over this past weekend, we thought we'd take a look back in this week's Ask PSLS and ask the staff: What did you think of VGX, and how would you change it going forward?
Anthony Severino – I Am Become Death (@Sev_Anthony)
Honestly, I think it needs to die. Not just because of the terrible new format or the ridiculous daytime timeslot, but because the video game industry is at a turning point. Console manufacturers and publishers put a lot of risk into investments of new games, and to have them debut at an award show that very few people care about wastes potential marketing buzz stemming from the announcements… unless you're Kojima and can keep people talking for months (something that's all but forgotten now) with a tease.
The final nail in the coffin is the fact that no one really gives a shit about the awards themselves. They really don't signify much, and don't have any more value than ours, IGN's, or the various other outlets putting out awards this time of year. All it's good for is for jerks like Square Enix to slap a GOTY sticker and re-sell an old, already released game just because they were nominated. Seriously, these publishers aren't even winning and they're releasing GOTY editions. The worst yet was that Dead Island GOTY Edition a while back. I wrote an article about it and a PR rep attacked me telling me that one, single, solitary no-name media outlet had awarded them a GOTY nod – something that shows that outlet doesn't take games seriously, nor should gamers take their award seriously.
I won't even get started on the terrible hosts that work the mic each year. Just let Keighley do it – at least the guy cares about the games industry. Having a generic host just for dick-measuring and bragging rights is just an insult to gamers.
Oh yeah, I'm pretty upset about VGX.
Cameron Teague – CameronX (@Cameron_PSLS)
Firstly, I would never put an X behind it's name, that is pretty stupid in my opinion. I would also scrap the entire show while I was calling the shots. It is a rather bland show that hypes up all of these trailers and then delivers utter disappoint around almost every corner. There is rarely anything epic revealed and then to make matters worse, the awards are a mixed bag of deserved and "What the hell are they thinking?" To be honest, I forgot the show was even on this year, so that tells you about how much I care for this event.
Chandler Wood – Beginning Wood (@FinchStrife)
Where do I even begin? Three hours is way too long, especially when you consider the garbage content that it contains. GTA V live music? Lame cuts to a bunch of weird musicians to hype it? The gawd awful dry humor of a host who clearly doesn't even care about being there besides making an extra buck? The length could be forgiven however, if a few things were done to change it.
I think I mirror everyone's sentiment on the name change to VGX. It's ridiculous, unnecessary, and means nothing. At least VGA stood for something, but why can't we have a cool award like the Oscars, the Emmys, or the Grammys? We could call them… the Keighleys? *Shudders* This year's show also didn't focus on the awards portion at all, glazing over the one's that they did do, and completely skipping some categories on the live show altogether. It was more a show off event for the "world premieres", which I'll tear apart in a moment.
They absolutely need to do away with hosts who are going to treat the whole thing as a joke too. They don't have to be a hardcore gamer, or even have a massive passion for the industry, but for the love of Nathan Drake show some damned respect! The two bit comedian they got for this year spent more time being an unprofessional douche bag than he did making any kind of relevant statements, especially in interview segments. Even Keighley was getting visibly tired of him before long.
And please don't try to pass off things as a "World Premiere" when it is just a new trailer. If you have groundbreaking new info about a game, or a new game to announce, then carry on. But hyping everyone up on showing "Over 10 world premieres" and then only gracing us with a couple new announcements and a ton of trailers for games that we know about or are already released (looking at you Tomb Raider!!!) is just a sad cop out that shows the lack of planning, time, and professionalism that went into this year's VGX. Kill 'em. We're fine without 'em. I don't think that gamers need VGX as much as Geoff Keighley needs VGX.
Jason Dunning – October 19th is January 2nd (@Jasonad21)
Possibly due to the fact that I enjoy Joel McHale on The Soup and Community, and I can't wait for Community next month, I didn't completely hate VGX at first. I enjoyed the change of pace from similar events and how they took the time to interview developers after having their game or a new video premiere (No Man's Sky!).
It really started to weigh on me in about the second hour though, where you could tell Geoff and Joel weren't having nearly as much fun as they thought they would, and the format of no breaks or commercials meant you had to pay attention to stuff that wasn't very interesting. All in all I gave up at about the 2 hour and 20 minute mark, when the world premieres seemed to end, the awards were a complete afterthought, and the Grand Theft Auto V concert was about to start.
For next year, I really hope they go back to a style closer to the VGAs, giving out awards in a manner that the people who create award-winning games deserve. They could then use VGX as a short pre-show to the VGAs, offering up world premieres and short interviews.
Russell Ritchey – His Hindsight is 40/40 (@RussellCRitchey)
I don't think anything of VGX, so I guess the thing to change would be its marketing. Make me care enough to want to check out coverage of the event as it is happening as opposed to well after it has happened. In hindsight, I don't remember catching any advertisements for the event this year.
What did you think of VGX, and how would you change it going forward? Let us know in the comments below.

Imagine no check-in or security queues, no airport announcements or last calls, add to this the ability to walk from your car through the terminal building and straight out onto your plane, and there you have it: the exceptional private jet experience I've just encountered with Skytime Jets. This was the airport but not as I know it!
Our adventure started as we neared Manchester Airport then headed away from the sprawling terminals to a very different location. We drove up to a security box where we gave our details and to my astonishment the gates were opened and we were ushered through for our short drive to the Landmark facility; a private airport offering a very different world of air travel.
We pulled up to the door of a very unassuming building and were ushered in. Peering through to the doors opposite, a beautiful jet could be seen on the runway. We were later informed that some clients simply walk from their car to the plane, without any fuss.
Inside the building there are two lounges with black leather sofas and television screens, where you can enjoy breathtaking runway views. Despite the comfort, guests spend very little time there, as the bonus of this mode of transport is that time at the airport can be kept to the absolute minimum. Having said this, I could have happily sat there all day watching some very famous Manchester faces flying in and out!
It's no wonder that private air travel is the chosen mode of travel for the rich and famous. Hiring a private plane means you can choose the time and date you fly, the airports, and even the food you will enjoy on your journey. This is bespoke travel taken to another level.
In fact, flying on a private jet means you can not only choose when and where you fly, but what you fly in. There are planes to suit all journeys and group sizes. From huge planes that can take you on a long-haul adventure to the compact jet I saw at the Landmark facility, which I was told has the perfect hold for a band and as such had just been delivering some of the acts to Glastonbury!
After a wonderful day familiarising myself with this most exclusive form of transport, I couldn't recommend it highly enough! My advice for groups looking for a flexible option or those of you seeking out an exceptional experience, possibly for a special event, is to consider hiring a private jet with Skytime Jets and take-off in style for your next luxury holiday.
At the Inspiring Travel Company, our Travel Specialists and Concierge service can arrange every detail for you; from chartering private flights, to dinner reservations at your luxury hotel. All you need do is walk straight onto your personal plane and enjoy the view! Call us today on 01244 355 600, or use the 'chat' box below, and begin planning the journey of a lifetime.;

"This is mean treatment!" said he. "But wait a bit; if
only I can get hold of the right people, the king shall
be made to give me the treasures of the whole kingdom."
So, full of wrath, he went into the forest, where he
came across a man who had jkust uprooted six trees as
if they had been corn-stalks.
"Wilt thou be my servant and travel with me?" said our
"Yes," replied the man; "but first I must take home
these few fagots to my mother," and lifting the bundle
on his shoulder, he carried it away.
Then he returned to his master, who said: "We two
shall be a match for all the world."
Now, when they had journeyed for a little space they
met a huntsman, who was on his knees taking aim with
his gun.
And the master said: "tell me, huntsman, what is it you
are going to shoot."
And the man answered: "Two miles off there is a fly
sitting on the branch of an oak tree, whose left eye I
intend to shoot out."
"Come with me!" said the master; "we three shall be a
match for all the world."
The huntsman was quite willing, and he came with him,
and they soon arrived at seven windmills whose sails
were whirling round at a tremendous speed, although
there was not a breath of wind to stir a leaf on the
Then said the master: "I cannot think what it is that
drives the windmills, for there is not the slightest
breeze." But going on farther with his servants for
about two miles, they saw a man sitting on a tree,
puffing out his cheeks and blowing. So the master
"My good fellow, what are you doing up there?"
"Oh," replied the man, "there are seven windmills two
miles from here; just look how I am sending them
"Come with me!" cried the master; "we four shall be a
match for all the world."
So the blower climbed down and accompanied him, and
presently they came upon a man who was standing on one
leg, for he had unbuckled the other and it was lying on
the ground by his side. Then the master said:
"I suppose you want to make yourself more comfortable
while resting?"
"No," said the man; "I am a runner, and in order not to
race over the ground too quickly, I have unbuckled my
leg, for, if I were to run with both, I should go
faster than any bird flies"
"Come with me!" said the master; "we five shall be a
match for the whole world."
The five comrades started off together, and soon they
met a man who had on a hat, which he wore tilted on one
side of his head.
Then said the master: "Manners, my friend, manners.
Don't wear your hat like that, but put it on properly;
you look like a simpleton."
"I dare not do it," returned the man, "for if I did,
[343] would come such a fearful frost that every bird in the
sky would freeze and fall dead upon the ground."
"Come with me!" said the master; "we six shall be a
match for all the world."
Then the six companions came to a city where the king
had proclaimed that whoever should run in a race with
his daughter and be victorious might become her
husband, but if he lost the race he would also lose his
This was told to our hero, who said: "I will make my
servant run for me."
Then the king answered, "Then thou must also forfeit
thine own life as well as thy servant's, for both heads
must be sacrificed if the race be lost."
When the conditions were agreed upon, and everything
was arranged, the master buckled on the runner's other
leg, saying: "Now, be as nimble as you can, and don't
fail to win."
Now, the wager was the first to bring water from a
distant spring should be the winner.
The runner received the pitcher, as did also the king's
daughter, and they both began to run at the same
moment; but when the Princess had run a little way the
runner was quite out of sight, and it seemed that there
had been only a rushing of the wind. In a very short
time he reached the well, so he drew up the water to
fill his pitcher and turned back.
But when he was halfway home, he was overcome with
fatigue, so he put the pitcher down, stretched himself
on the ground, and fell asleep. He made a pillow of a
horses' skull, which was lying close by, thinking that,
as it was so hard, he would very soon wake up again.
In the meantime, the king's daughter, who was a
splendid runner and ran better than many a man, reached
the spring and hurried back with her pitcher of water.
Suddenly, she saw the runner lying asleep on the
wayside; she was overjoyed at this,
[344] and exclaimed: "The enemy is given into my hands!"
Then, emptying his pitcher, she ran on as fast as she
Now, all would have been lost if by great good fortune
the huntsman had not been standing on one side of the
castle towers and had seen everything with his sharp
Said he: "The king's daughter shall be no match for us
if I can help it." So, loading his gun, he aimed so
true that he shot away the horse's skull from under the
runner's head without harming him in the least.
This awakened the runner, who, springing up, saw in a
flash that his pitcher had been emptied, and that the
king's daughter was already far ahead of him.
However, he did not lose courage, but ran back swiftly
to the well, drew up fresh water, filled his pitcher,
and was back again full ten minutes before the kings'
"See what I can do," cried he, "when I really use my
legs; what I did before could scarcely be called
The king was displeased, and so was his daughter, that
a common discharged soldier should have run the race;
so they consulted with each other how they could rid
themselves of him, together with his five comrades.
Then the king said to his daughter, "Do not be afraid,
my child, for I have found a way to prevent their
coming back."
So he said to the six companions, "You must now eat,
drink, and be merry." Saying which, he led them to a
room that had an iron floor and iron doors, and even
the windows were secured with iron bars.
In this apartment there was a table covered with the
most delicious appetizing dishes; and the king said:
"Now come in and sit down and enjoy yourselves."
Directly they were all inside he had the doors locked
and bolted. This done, the king sent for the cook, and
[345] him to light a fire underneath the room, until the iron
should become red-hot.
The heat soon became so great that the six comrades
guessed that the king wished to suffocate them.
But the man with the hat set it straight on his head,
and immediately a frost fell on everything, and all the
heat vanished, while the meats on the dishes began to
When the kin believed they had all perished in the heat
he ordered the doors opened, and there stood all the
six men safe and sound.
They said they would very much like to come out and
warm themselves, for the cold had been so intense that
the meat had frozen on their plates.
Then the king commanded why the cook had not obeyed his
But the cook pointed to the tremendous fire that was
still burning, and the king saw that he could not harm
the six companions in this way.
In despair the king began to cast about in his mind for
some other way to rid himself of his unwelcome guests;
so he commanded the master to be sent before him.
"If you will give up all claim to my daughter," said
he, "you shall have as much gold as you can wish for."
"Indeed, your Majesty, if you will only give me as much
as my servant can carry, I will not more demand your
This pleased the king very much, and the master said
that he would return in fourteen days to take away the
Thereupon the master ordered all the tailors in the
kingdom to sew him a sack of such a size that it would
take fourteen days to make it. When it was finished he
sent the strong man, who uprooted the trees, with the
sack on his shoulder to the king.
So the king ordered a ton of gold to be fetched, which
required sixteen men to carry; but the strong man took
it up in one
[346] hand and said, "Why don't you bring more at a time?
This scarcely covers the bottom of the sack."
So the king sent again and again for all his treasures
to be brought, and the strong man threw it all into the
sack, which was not yet half full.
"Bring me more!" he cried, "these few crumbs won't fill
Therefore they were obliged to bring seven thousand
wagons laden with gold to the palace; these the strong
man pushed into his sack, together with the oxen which
were yoked to the wagons.
At last when everything that could possibly be found
had been put in, he said: "Well, I must finish this;
even if the sack isn't quite full, it's all the easier
to tie it up."
Saying which, he lifted it on his back and went off
with his companions.
When the king saw how this one man was carrying off all
the wealth of his kingdom, he flew into a great passion
and ordered all his cavalry to pursue the six comrades,
commanding them to take away the sack from the strong
The two regiments soon overtook the six men and shouted
to them: "Halt! You are our prisoners. Put down that
sack of gold, or we will cut you to pieces."
"What is this you are saying?" asked the blower coolly.
"We are your prisoners? Aha! First you must have a
little dance together up in the air."
Then he puffed his cheeks and blew the two regiments up
into the air.
Some were blown away on the one side of the mountains,
and some disappeared in the blue distance on the other.
A sergeant cried for mercy; he had nine wounds, and was
a brave fellow and did not deserve such disgrace. So
the blower blew gently after him, which brought him
back to the ground without hurting him.
"Now go home," said the blower, "and tell the king that
[347] he may send any number of horsemen after us, but I will
blow them all into the air."
When the king received this message he said: "Let the
fellows go! They will meet with their deserts."
So the six comrades brought home the wealth of the
kingdom which they divided, and lived happily to the
end of their days.

The Liquor Holster That Lindsay Lohan Would Die To Replace Her Scram Bracelet With!
What Lindsay Lohan has been dealing with, isn't a laughing matter. There's nothing positive about drinking and driving, and never quite getting a grasp of the potential consequences that can include the death of other drivers and pedestrians. That being said, I've come across a fashion accessory that this fallen star is surely thinking she's like to replace her SCRAM alcohol monitoring ankle bracelet.
It's been reported that despite wearing the SCRAM, Lindsay still tried to consume alcohol and may have tampered with the monitoring system. Clearly, during that evening out she would have much preferred to be wearing a not-so-discreet ankle holster designed to hold a number of bottled beverages so they're always on hand.
It might not be anymore discreet than her current alcohol-related accessory, but, maybe if Lindsay's alcohol treatment is a success, the SCRAM will win out over this little beauty.

Friday, 26 February 2010 05:50 PM
A student at the University of California, San Diego admitted hanging a noose in the school library less than two weeks after an off-campus party mocking Black History Month ignited racial tensions, authorities said Friday.
The discovery prompted a rally at the school already roiling with resentment over perceived intolerance.
The noose was found dangling from a light fixture on the seventh floor of Geisel Library on Thursday night, authorities said. A University of California statement said a student admitted she and two other people were responsible. The statement did not identify the students or their race or include a motive.
UC and campus authorities did not indicate whether the students would be charged with a hate crime. Under state law, hanging a noose to terrorize is punishable by up to a year in jail.
"Whatever the intent of the authors of this act, it was a despicable expression of racial hatred, and we are outraged," the UC statement said. "It has no place in civilized society, and it will not be tolerated."
To blacks, a noose recalls the days of widespread racism and lynchings.
Hundreds of students rallied for several hours outside the university administration building, where speakers denounced the noose as an example of intolerance on the campus where blacks comprise less than 2 percent of the student body.
"How am I supposed to walk into that building? How am I ever going to be safe there?" said ethnic studies major Cheyenne Stevens, who is black.
Mustafa Shahryar, 21, said he had seen the noose as he left the library.
Shahryar, who is from Afghanistan, told the crowd he grew accustomed to racial slurs while growing up in Southern California but was stunned to see the noose.
"Nothing phased me until last night," he said. "I just took that noose as an attack on all of us."
The school has been in turmoil over an off-campus "Compton Cookout" party organized by some students that urged people to dress as ghetto stereotypes and promised there would be chicken, watermelon and malt liquor.
Chancellor Marye Anne Fox condemned the party, and the school began an investigation to determine if any students might face discipline. The school also initiated a campus-wide "Battle Hate" campaign.
Campus administrators held a "teach-in" against intolerance on Wednesday. the same day hundreds of students from UCSD and other universities staged a campus protest, demanding that officials make more efforts to combat racism.
Some students countered that the reaction to the party had been overblown. Others accused the campus Black Student Union of using it to push demands for more black professors and funding for ethnic studies.
Last week, the Associated Students president pulled funding from a student-run TV station after The Koala — a campus media outlet with a reputation for being offensive — came out in support of the party, called black students ungrateful and used a derogatory term for African-Americans during a program.

Serving suggestions: White rice, chopped cilantro, shredded Cheddar, chopped tomatoes, minced fresh or pickled jalapeno peppers
Pat the meat dry with a paper towel and season with the salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large stew pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the meat, in small batches, until well browned, adding more oil to the pan as needed. Transfer meat to a bowl and reserve.
Discard all but 2 tablespoons of oil from the pan. Saute the onions over medium heat for 10 minutes, scraping up the browned bits with a wooden spoon from the bottom of the pan. Add the garlic and saute for 2 minutes more. Stir in the 1/3 cup chili powder, cumin, and oregano and cook for 2 minutes. Add the canned diced tomatoes and whisk in 4 cups of the stock. Add the meat and any accumulated juices back to the pot. Bring to a gentle simmer. Season the chili with the salt and pepper, cover, and cook for 30 minutes.
In a food processor or blender puree half of the beans with the remaining 1 cup of stock. Add the bean mixture to the chili along with the whole beans. Let simmer, uncovered, 1 hour more or until the meat is tender. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons chili powder and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve with rice and suggested condiments.

Thursday, 02 January 2014 09:51 AM
The tiny Chinese city of Macau has again smashed its annual record for casino earnings as revenues last year hit a staggering $45 billion, further underlining its position as the world's biggest gambling market.
Macau's nearly three dozen casinos raked in 33.5 billion patacas ($4.2 billion) in December, according to data released Thursday by the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau, the gambling regulator. That brought revenue for 2013 to 360.8 billion patacas ($45 billion), up 18.6 percent from 2012.
Analyst Grant Govertsen of Union Gaming Research estimated that Macau's take would be more than seven times the amount earned on the Las Vegas Strip.
The former Portuguese colony's once-lethargic casino market has thrived since the government ended a gambling monopoly a decade ago and let in foreign players such as Las Vegas Sands Corp. and Wynn Resorts Ltd.
The ensuing competition has transformed the tiny enclave into a gambling powerhouse, with glitzy new casino resorts centered on the Cotai Strip, marketed as Asia's version of the Las Vegas Strip.
All six casino operators in Macau, an hour by high-speed ferry from Hong Kong, are pouring billions of dollars into new megaprojects in the district in a fresh round of expansion.
Macau's casino revenues are the envy of other markets around Asia, which have been looking at ways to duplicate the southern Chinese city's success.
Increasing numbers of wealthy high-rolling visitors from mainland China have helped power Macau's rise as a casino hub.
Revenue has already overtaken the entire market in the U.S., where a year ago some 12,000 U.S. casinos raked in $37.3 billion, according to figures from the American Gaming Association. In the same period, Macau, which has 35 casinos and a population of about 560,000, earned $38 billion, according to the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau.
Though comparable U.S. figures for 2013 are not yet available, Macau's lead is certain to widen as growth in major markets like the Las Vegas Strip has largely hit a plateau.

Bears plummet in rankings after loss to Atlanta
The Chicago Bears took a massive hit in national power rankings this week after their 22-20 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The longest fall was 10 spots in ESPN's rankings.

Explanation: The Bears have lost late leads in all three losses. Are they unlucky or unable to protect a lead? (KS)

Explanation: Chicken football, by way of a squib kick, did them in. Jerious Norwood ranked 18th in the league in kick returns, going in. I mean we're not talking about Gale Sayers here. OK, he broke one against you the time before, so you get your special teamers on the sideline and grab 'em by the throat and say, "Cover, dammit. This is the ballgame." Instead, with 11 seconds left, you played puss in boots and set the Falcons up at the 44, which required one 26-yard pass to move them into field goal range and end the contest. You were playing on the road, so you know what the clock was going to be like. Having only five seconds run off, counting return, etc., and then only five more after the pass, never would have happened in Chicago, but…ah, why go on? No more short kickoffs, OK? If you're going to go down, go down like men!

With the meteoric rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), the United States and Iran find themselves in the peculiar position of seeing their strategic goals fall into step. It is in the interest of neither country to witness the emergence of an unstable Iraq, least of all one that serves as a safe haven for Sunni extremists to harass Iranian and American interests in the region.
The alignment of American and Iranian strategic interests, which last significantly occurred with the unseating of the Taliban in 2001, should not merely be viewed as a fleeting moment in which coordination — or even cooperation — between the two countries is possible. Rather, it should be taken as an opportunity to re-evaluate Iran's behavior as a state more generally and juxtapose it with the type of threat posed by ISIS.
Analyses of Iran all too often refract the country's actions abroad through its status as a Shiite country and the promotion of religious sectarian interests. (Roughly 10 to 15 percent of the world's total Muslim population is Shiite, while the rest is largely Sunni, though the Shiites represent a majority in Iraq and Iran.) Doing so only perpetuates a myth that Iran seeks no more than to combat Sunni domination, whether in the guise of a regional power like Saudi Arabia or a movement like ISIS, in hopes of replacing it with Shiite supremacy instead. But it's political realities that drive Iran's actions, not sectarian ones.

[WEBINAR] Essential checkpoints for ATM testing in a DevOps world
DevOps — a collaborative approach to enterprise software delivery — introduces testing during the development phase rather than leaving it until the prerelease stage. This approach holds the proven potential to save time and expense in project implementation.
However, many companies in the payments sphere struggle to coordinate and integrate testing into their project progression plan from design through development and acceptance.
This webinar explains how a mature testing strategy can make your implementation process more agile and differentiate your offering from others in the market.
Takeaways include:
- How to build a best-of-breed environment that enables your team to apply modern engineering practices; and
- How continuous testing can help reduce implementation costs, save time and increase the effectiveness of the ATM channel.

We have been hearing rumors over the past few weeks that Apple are about to launch a new Apple TV, the Apple TV 3, the device was first discovered months ago with the J33 reference number.
Now the guys from 9 to 5 Mac have discovered that the Apple TV with the J33 reference number will retail for $99, which is the same price as the existing Apple TV, although the existing model now appears to be sold out in almost all of Apple's retail stores.
We don't as yet have any information on what the new Apple TV will be capable of, although we can expect the device to come with a faster processor and we suspect it will be capable of full HD video in 1080p.
We will have more details on the new Apple TV 3 later today, when the device is officially announced along with the new iPad HD or iPad 3.

Excellent quality chamois shirt!Verified Buyer Reviewed by Sam and Joan from Massachusetts on Tuesday, November 21, 2017A hard-to-find item these days ... a heavyweight quality chamois shirt. Only problem is the button holes difficult to get the large buttons through ... I have to help my husband!
Nice quality, returned itVerified Buyer Reviewed by Jenn from NJ on Saturday, March 25, 2017The arms were too short for my husband. Nice heavy shirt though.
Oh to be 6.4Verified Buyer Reviewed by ThatTrav from Marin on Friday, February 3, 2017It's a great shirt, fabric feels cozy and warm and the cut is slender, but there is a lot of fabric below the belt. That's great if you are Tucked In sorta guy, but for those of us that tend to hang loose, it's just too much to deal with.
One of each colorReviewed by ajk from California on Saturday, January 21, 2017I own one of each color. This shirt is true to size in M and fits me perfectly. It is soft and warm with thick cotton that wears well. Durably constructed like most Grizzly Dakota products. As a favorite old shirt should, it gets softer with each wash, but may require ironing with time. I suggest pulling it out of the dryer immediatley like jeans and hanging to avoid wrinkles. This over a t-shirt always looks better than wearing a sweatshirt around the house or when running errands.
Light chamois material, slim cut for XLVerified Buyer Reviewed by Guitar Man from SF Bay Area on Tuesday, October 25, 2016This shirt is a pleasant color and design that fits my lifestyle. It is the material is a lighter weight than any of my other chamois shirts, and it fits my body more snugly than most XL shirts do. I like the generously sized pockets, though the "bellows" down the middle are non-functional. I won't be able to wear this over other shirts, but it will do nicely for our winter weather.
Comfortable and quality madeVerified Buyer Reviewed by Bill the fisherman from Gunnison, CO on Thursday, April 12, 2012I really like the Dakota Grizzly shirts I have gotten, but even though I wash them in cold water and do not put them in the dryer over time the sleeves and body shrink. Obviously this a concern but I continue to buy them.

From the Bride... Mike and I wanted our wedding to be a representation of who we are as a couple. An ideal day to us would be one spent with friends and family, just hanging out and having great food, and we wanted our wedding to be exactly this. We wanted a relaxed atmosphere where our loved ones would feel comfortable, well-fed and free to have a good time! When we came upon Mile High Station, and was love at first sight. We had very minimal decorations because the building has so much beauty, character and history all one it's own. As for the soundtrack to our day, Mike and I are music fanatics, and we spent a good deal of time obsessing over our song selections and cocktail hour music.
Mike and I's first look was probably my most treasured memory from our wedding day. Every emotion hit me all at once, and I had the tears to prove it! Walking towards him felt like coming home. Another part of the wedding that I loved was the fact that our friends and family worked so hard to help put everything together. There isn't one aspect of the wedding that doesn't have the fingerprint of someone we love in it. The Bride/Father and Groom/Mother dance also meant so much. My dad reminded me that when I was younger, I used to tell him that I would never get married so that I could stay with him forever. Overall, I just loved having all those people we love under one roof, knowing that whether they drove a couple blocks or flew a couple thousand miles, they were there to celebrate with us.
Weddings run into hiccups and glitches, and mine was no exception, but in the end I married the man I love in front of the people I love. What could be better?

— "Michigan Death Trap," from "The Secret Goldfish" (2004)
By Michael Chevy Castranova | Special to the Kalamazoo Gazette
NYACK, N.Y. — Drugged-out, ill-fated lovers. Murderous, nearly-crazy-with-hunger tramps. Fatalistic bank robbers. Lost, callow prostitutes. Down-and-out souls who depend too heavily on what they call "the mystery of chance."
Award-winning short-story writer and Kalamazoo native David Means is, he contends, nothing like the desperate, isolated characters in his fiction.
"I don't feel that way at all," laughed Means, speaking by phone from his home in Nyack, N.Y., where he teaches at Vassar College and lives with his wife, Geneve, and their 18-year-old twins, Miranda and Max. "I'm a relatively optimistic kind of guy."
As for the dark, often gritty tales he writes, with its hopeless protagonists whose backs are usually hard against the wall, "That's just where you've got to go" for the stories he wants to tell. "I'm more interested in the victims. I don't really see (these characters) as heroes."
Published collections of short stories by David Means
"A Quick Kiss of Redemption" (1993)
"Assorted Fire Events" (2000)
"The Secret Goldfish" (2004)
"The Spot" (2010)
2000 Los Angeles Times Book Prize
2001 The Pushcart Prize
2001 National Book Critics Circle Award, nomination
2006 O. Henry Prize
2006 The Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award, shortlist
Or take the mean, sad figures in "The Botch." They're planning a bank robbery in Ohio and they talk and think about it, endlessly. On the day of the theft, it all goes wrong, of course.
"The reader gets the whole picture, the characters don't," Means explained. "They're trapped, they can't get beyond the moment they're in. The only tools they have is talking. We're all building our narratives in our heads."
Means, a 1980 Loy Norrix High School graduate who left Kalamazoo to attend the College of Wooster in Ohio, is "tinkering with" a novel now. He admits to almost always having thought of himself becoming a writer — even when he was in pre-med. He invites people to imagine the "deafening silence" that greeted him when he told his parents over the phone he'd decided he wanted to be a poet rather than a doctor.
Means "spent many years surrounded by print," he said. He carried a Kalamazoo Gazette paper route "for years" and spent "lots of hours at the public library reading."
When, as a boy, he visited his grandmother in Petoskey — where writer Ernest Hemingway vacationed during his youth — Means imagined himself as Nick Adams, Hemingway's short-story alter ego.
Means cites "A Farewell to Arms" as one of his literary influences. He also confirms readers might detect some Flannery O'Connor, John Updike, Raymond Chandler and even Mark Twain in his own distinctive written "voice."
A sense of place was vital with those writers, as it is in Means's work — he includes references to Michigan, Ohio and New York towns, as well as the stark Dust Bowl states and the Great Lakes.
So why, in all his work — four well-received short-story collections and pieces that appeared in The New Yorker, The Paris Review, Esquire and Harper's, among other prestigious publications — has there been little of his hometown?
Means refers to the giant sludge pit in "Sleeping Bear Lament," in "Assorted Fire Events" (2000), as being derived from his memories of a paper mill where he used to play. But he admits there's not a lot else about Kalamazoo to be found.
"I draw from it. I've got deep roots in Kalamazoo, with a grandfather, Harold Allen, who was a big part of Upjohn Co. for many years, as the corporate secretary and friends with W.E. Upjohn," Means said. Allen and Means's paternal grandmother graduated from Kalamazoo College, as did his parents. Means's father taught sociology there.
"Everyone in my family still lives in Kalamazoo. My sister, Martha, is married to Henry Upjohn." He visits almost every summer, as "a pilgrimage of sorts," he added.
"So far I've held back on using it in my fiction, although I'm hoping to start digging into it soon. (Kalamazoo) was a great place to grow up because back in the '70s we were free to roam, there was enough stuff to roam around, and yet you could handle it and kind of have a sense of yourself — always knowing where you were."
The main reason Kalamazoo hasn't featured more strongly is because Means has yet to successfully tackle a "coming-of-age story." He'd like to use the city as James Joyce did with Dublin in Dubliners, in a series of smaller, interrelated stories, he says.
"I'm planning on it. It's a city you can kind of hold in your head — not too big, not too small," Means added. "But it would have to be Kalamazoo of 30 or 40 years ago. It was industrial then. We still made a lot of stuff."
That's the mystery of chance. One minute you're one thing, the next you're another, and choice had nothing at all to do with it.

~~~~~ Theresa Wilson ~~~~~
Let's bring in the New Year with Theresa in the Hot Seat.
I have known Theresa since I was in AIM in 1992, and yet I don't feel like I've ever really gotten to know her. I regret that. I wish that I would've taken more time when I came back to Lubbock in 2006 … but I let my own awkwardness get in the way.
I know a few things about her though …
She loves her family … people … and especially children. She's worked on several foreign fields. She's worked with the children's home in Lubbock and now Cozumel. I know that she adapts well on a foreign field. I've read her blog (http://www.denniswilson.com/theresa/) and I know that she did her best to have some familiar foods for her family on Thanksgiving. That takes some effort in a place like that.
She is devoted to whatever her heart attaches too. She did so much for our little church group. We didn't realize how much until she was gone. I don't know how she found the time to do it all, but she did.
She searches the Word … wanting to learn more about her Creator … and sharing that knowledge with others. She is a good woman … with a huge heart.
Theresa … I know you are busy, but if you have the time please tell us a little about yourself and your work in Cozumel. What is a typical day like for you? If you have any free time what do you do with it? How involved are you with the work at the children's home? How do you adapt to such a challenging environment when working on a foreign field?

I am madly in love with this next wedding by the always fabulous Daughter of Design. And I mean madly. From those red Kate Spade heels (swoon) to the stunning location (double swoon) to all of the gorgeous, gorgeous images captured by Verité Boutique Photographers, there are not enough minutes in the day for this wedding and me. So, join me in the gallery to devour every last amazing detail.
Click here to see the entire image gallery!
From the Bride... As wedding planning goes, ours came together quite simply as we wanted our guests to experience "An Enchanted Evening with MNO" (our initials) and everything that defines us as a couple. A large part of the wedding was DIY -- from the calligraphy to designing the dessert table. I was aiming for a very specific look and guest experience that was not readily available on the market. But I knew exactly what I wanted and just had to work on execution.
Thankfully, tackling the three most important elements was the easiest because they were simply the best: planner (Annie of Daughter of Design), photographers (Robyn & Maria of Verité Boutique Photographers), and venue (San Francisco Opera House). The three of them working together created the *magic* of the evening.
We were fortunate enough to get married at the San Francisco Opera House -- where we had our first date and have been season ticket holders ever since. The historical significance of where United Nations charter was adopted in 1945 was particularly meaningful as a nod to the joining of our cultures. The idea of "staging" an opera made the planning even more enjoyable.
To construct the grandeur of old San Francisco, we opted for a formal yet intimate event accented with a palette of blues, golds, and hints of delicate pink. The invitations were handmade with custom calligraphy and petal enclosures with French silk ribbons by colliding stars. We also included personal messages with each invitation thanking our family and friends for their support with hopes that they would journey to California for the wedding -- 80% out of town and several coming from over 6000 miles away.
We wanted to capitalize on the wow-factor of the Opera House and give the feeling of an opera in full swing. In front of the entrance on busy Van Ness in San Francisco, we framed giant posters of our Opera Wedding for all passerbyers to see! Lighting design and ornamental table settings from Hartmann Studios were used accomplish the look. We made programs that mimicked vintage playbills with our love story and the evening's events in acts and guests as characters. The highlight of the ceremony was our friend/officiant who shared hilarious stories about the progression of our relationship from the early days of workplace flirtations. Our pianist, Michael Udelson, manned the Steinway grand piano and kept our guests entertained with an eclectic mix of modern rock interpretations from Muse to Jimmy Eat World.
We both wanted a classic and timeless look and opted for the designers Melissa Sweet and Hugo Boss. Our accessories were also a nod to our cultures -- red Kate Spade shoes for Chinese good luck for the bride and a Nara Camacie cravat as a Croatian invention for the groom. Learning how to dance in 4-inch heels was a challenge, but we planned in advance with weekly waltz lessons over 3 months. Instead of a typical love song, we danced to "L'amour Toujours" by Sagi Rei since the original euro dance version "I'll Fly with You" by Gigi D'Agostino was a little too fast.
The cocktail hour and reception were our chances to showcase the best of San Francisco dining and the culinary skill of Chef Dean Rona of Patina. Guests were greeted with nickname/inside-joke place cards and enjoyed a delectable five course food and wine pairing featuring our favorites including duck confit and filet mignon with corn-sotto. In lieu of a traditional wedding cake, we served the groom's beloved desserts -- handrolled truffles by XOX Chocolates in various flavors, Parisian macarons and dame blanche by La Boulange, and Scharffen Berger chocolate bars a favors.
All-in-all, the planning and wedding was an amazing experience both creatively and bonding with my now-husband. Our guests still rave about what a great time they had and ask when we're renewing our vows so they can take another trip to San Francisco.

AbstractPalliative care involves helping patients to achieve best possible quality of life by alleviating symptoms and suffering. The aim of the study was to describe and analyze staff member's experience of working with evidence-based guidelines for pain management in palliative care. The study comprised a total of eight group interviews and 93 narratives from 22 staff members, all of who worked in palliative care. Data was analyzed using manifest qualitative content analysis and deductive perspectives according to SOC (sense of coherence). Three categories, "Awareness of Pain Management", "Participation in Pain Management", and "Safety at Pain Management", were identified. The result showed an increased awareness of the value of a deeper understanding of policy documents and local guidelines. A key factor in improvement work was that team members were given the opportunity to repeat and continuously reflect on their performed work together within the team in dialog form. Teamwork may contribute to a better knowledge and understanding of how to develop high quality in healthcare by learning from each other in everyday work and by using evidence-based practices. Consistency in the working group could improve healthcare by using the espoused theory and theory-in-use for develop procedures and guidelines at work. View Full-Text

Experimental remixes
My collection of experimental remixes (pending title) is a series of personal art pieces in which I focus my concerns and passions related to reality, outer space and quantum physics. Although of their surreal appearance, I want to believe that they are rather pieces of reality existing and hidden somewhere the human being has not been yet. I'm producing some limited fine-art prints soon.

Both Time Magazine and the Washington Post have made much of a poll in which 25 percent of those surveyed said that most Muslim-Americans are not patriotic. Time and Post assume that this view is incorrect and consider the poll result evidence of America's Islamophobia.
But what might cause 25 percent of Americans to believe that most Muslim-Americans aren't patriots? It seems unlikely that they base this conclusion on the acts of obvious outliers, such as the Fort Hood assassin. Moreover, many Americans don't know enough Muslims sufficiently well to form a conclusion regarding their level of patriotism based on personal observation. Nor, to my knowledge, is there is any publicly available empirical study of Muslim-American patriotism.
Under these conditions, perhaps the most reasonable way to assess the patriotism of Muslim-Americans, if asked to think about the issue, is through the statements of those who lead and/or purport to speak for Muslims in this country. Here, we must rely mainly on the mainstream media to identify Muslim leaders and spokesmen, and to help us locate them on the continuum of Muslim-American thought.
Right now, the most prominent such leader is probably Faisal Abdul Rauf, the man behind the Ground Zero Mosque. His apparent stature can be inferred not just from his leadership role in developing the would-be mosque, but also from the fact that both the Bush and Obama administrations have sent him abroad to Muslim countries on behalf of the U.S. In addition, the MSM has trotted out both Rauf and his wife to address hot button Muslim related issues over the years.
Rauf is no sane person's idea of an American patriot. Americans have known for some time now that he considers America an accomplice to 9/11. And recently, thanks to Pamela Geller, we learned that Rauf thinks America has more blood on its hands than al Qaeda. This is not ordinary, patriotic dissent; this is anti-Americanism at its worst.
Rauf's prominence doesn't necessarily mean that most Muslim-Americans share his extreme views. Neither does the fact that our government sends him abroad. It's possible that the Bush and Obama administrations didn't vet him well. Alternatively, (though I hope this isn't the case) the State Department might have wanted to use a harsh critic of the U.S. to cultivate better relations with Muslim countries on the theory that he would be more credible than a Muslim-American patriot.
But if Rauf doesn't speak for most Muslim-Americans on questions of American goodness, or lack thereof, the MSM has provided no signal of this. Instead, from what I've seen, he is typically portrayed as a moderate Muslim.
Now, it may be true that, by global Muslim standards, Rauf does occupy some sort of middle ground position – he holds America in contempt but does not want to kill Americans. But if Rauf is a moderate Muslim-American by American standards – i.e., someone in the mainstream of Muslim American thought – then it follows that most Muslim-Americans hold views similar to his. This would mean, in turn, that most Muslim-Americans are not patriotic.
Thus, if the mainstream media and other left-liberals want to strike a blow for interfaith faith understanding and against Islamophobia, they should take the position that Rauf is not a moderate Muslim. But that would undermine the case for building the Ground Zero Mosque. For many in the mainstream media and other left-liberals, this in-your-face objective trumps all other considerations. And for some, Rauf's view of America may be too close to their own for them to confess its immoderate nature.

I would like to highly recommend the work of Reginald Cooke. For me, his work was truly outstanding and he saved my marriage and made me and my wife better in the process. Our marriage has NEVER been better!!! I should mention that, Mr. Cooke worked solely with me as, I chose not to include my wife at the onset which, I believe was the correct decision. Having said that, I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the help Reginald Cooke gave me though a very difficult time of my marriage. I was at the brink of maybe doing something very stupid when GOD working through Mr. Cooke stepped in, right in the nick of time!!! The GOOD NEWS is, my wife and I are together and stronger than ever as a result of working with Reginald through a few sessions of GREAT counseling and advice from him. In my case, Reginald help me to understand forgiveness which, Reginald walked me through the process of how to ask and receive forgiveness. We (both) have agreed to spiritual, physiological and marriage counseling!!! Reginald's advice and belief in the sanctity of marriage and sincere desire to see victory in my marriage is the reason that I'm thanking him and giving him an OUTSTANDING evaluation. Mr. Cooke's strong convictions coupled with his kindness and teaching from our GOD helped me with a better understanding of my role as well as my wife's role in our marriage.

Like sands through the hourglass, "Days of Our Lives' " time is running out.
At least on KSNV-TV, Channel 3, the daytime drama's home in Southern Nevada since 1965. On Monday, the residents of Salem will pack up and move to KVCW-TV, Channel 33.
"We're excited about the opportunity to carry it," said Audra Swain, KVCW's general manager. "Soap fans are loyal to the death."
The daily adventures of the Hortons, Bradys and DiMeras — not to mention their many, manipulative offspring — will air at 1 p.m. on the drama's new home, which can be found on channels 6 and 1006 on Cox cable and Channel 33 on DirecTV and Dish.
On Monday, KSNV will add a 3 p.m. daily newscast. Contractual obligations to carry "The Doctors" and "Dr. Phil" meant "Days of Our Lives" was the easiest to relocate of the three, according to Lisa Howfield, KSNV's vice president and general manager. "The Doctors" will move up an hour to 1 p.m., with "Dr. Phil" following at 2 p.m.
"I think it works out for everyone," Howfield said. "We kept 'Days of Our Lives' on in the market, (and) we were able to expand our news."
Howfield said the transition has been in the works for about a year as KSNV has begun clearing the decks to provide as many hours of local news as possible.
On Sept. 13, KSNV will stop airing longtime favorites "Wheel of Fortune" and "Jeopardy!" to make way for a 7 p.m. newscast. Starting Sept. 16, "Jeopardy!" can be seen at 6:30 p.m. weekdays and Saturdays, with "Wheel of Fortune" to follow at 7 p.m., on KLAS-TV, Channel 8.
"We did the best we could," Howfield said of the changes. "We're just trying to establish that we're very local."
NBC has had to find other outlets for some of its shows in the past. Most notably, Salt Lake City's KSL-TV, owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, has refused to air series including "The Playboy Club" and "The New Normal" because of their content. But according to the network, KSNV is the first affiliate to drop "Days of Our Lives."
It's been a rough few years for soap opera fans. "Guiding Light" ended in 2009. "As the World Turns" left the airwaves the next year, followed by "All My Children" in 2011 and "One Life to Live" in 2012. The latter two resurfaced earlier this year, in abbreviated fashion, as Web series.
"I know that there will be some viewers who are upset," Howfield said, "but what they need to know is, it's not leaving the market. … It's just going to a different channel, that's all."

The BIG challenge
A spotlight campaign on obesity research
With over 60 percent of the adult population either overweight or obese and more than 2.7 million people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, the health burden and economic impact of obesity in the UK are increasing.
The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) is currently supporting research into the condition across 43 obesity-related studies. We've selected four of these studies to give an insight into the experiences of patients and the work of researchers and health professionals across England.
This diverse set of studies will also help you better understand the range of ways the BIG challenge is being addressed by the research community. It's also a sign of what's to come.
The NIHR has just issued a national call for new research to address UK obesity levels. We're asking the research community for innovative research for the prevention and treatment of obesity in adults and children. Find out more about the call.

Are your teeth getting shorter? When you smile, have you noticed that you show less teeth? If so, maybe you are grinding your teeth and causing excessive wear. This is known as Bruxism.
Bruxism is characterized by the grinding of the teeth and typically, includes the clenching of the jaw. It is an oral parafunctional activity that occurs in most humans at some time in their lives.
For the majority, the activity is mild enough not to be a health problem. However, if bruxism occurs during sleep, it can cause significant health issues. Regarded as one of the most common sleep disorders, the activity can damage your smile, cause increased wear of fillings and teeth and cause damage to veneers and crowns.
On top of that, it can cause the failure of dental implants and significant gum recession. In certain circumstances it will lead to headaches, considerable jaw and neck pain and increased facial muscle around the jaw.
How do I know if I am grinding my teeth? Most people are not aware of their bruxism. Only an estimated 5% go on to develop symptoms, such as jaw pain and headaches, which require prompt treatment. A sleeping partner or parent may pick up on the behaviour first, although sufferers may notice pain symptoms without understanding the cause. Bruxism can be loud enough to wake a sleeping partner although some individuals clench without significant lateral movements. In a typical case involving lateral motion, the canines and incisors of the opposing arches are moved against each other laterally, i.e. with a side-to-side action. This movement abrades tooth structure and can lead to the wearing down of the incisal edges of the teeth.
People with bruxism may also grind their posterior teeth, which will wear down the cusps of the occlusal surface. If you are aware that you suffer from Bruxism, why not read the questions below and if your answer is 'YES' to any one of them, it is likely that you grind your teeth. Do you get headaches or jaw/neck pain, especially in the morning ? Have you noticed that your teeth are wearing? Have you had damage to dental restoration eg: crowns or fillings, for no apparent reason? Are your temples or jaw muscles tender? Do you experience discomfort whilst chewing? Does your jaw make a clicking sound? If you answered 'YES' to any one the questions, clenching or grinding maybe the cause.
Help is close at hand in Surrey Why not book an appointment with our expert dentist Dr Salimi by calling 01932 570099 or take a look at our website before contacting us. Dr Salimi has included a case study below of a 45-year-old lady who visited Estetica complaining of fractured teeth and a lost filling, tenderness in her jaw muscles, sensitivity to hot and cold, loss of chewing power and grinding during sleep for many years. Dr Salimi said; "We provided a clinical examination that revealed severe tooth substance loss, A loss of bite height/vertical dimension and exposed Dentin. "There was a lack of support from the back teeth and as a consequence, excessive bite force on front teeth. The lady in question had an imbalanced bite. "The aim of our treatment was to prevent further tooth loss, to repair and restore her fractured teeth and to compensate for loss of vertical height. "We created a balanced bite and finally, treated her shortened front teeth. The results were significant and highly satisfactory to the patient."

Grateful Dead
Just like your favorite jam, things are going to get a bit funky on Dead.net over the next week or so. Community accounts will be temporarily closed October 16th-17th and may be under further maintenance through October 22nd. But rest assured, we will be back up and better than ever shortly thereafter. Stay tuned!
December 23 - December 29, 2013
Welcome back to the Tapers' Section, and Happy Holidays! This week we've got some decidedly non-Holiday music, but good stuff nonetheless.
Our first stop this week is in the first leg of the Fall Tour of 1973, which ran from September 7 through December 19. From 9/17/73 in Syracuse, we have a six songs, five of which would appear on Wake Of Flood, to be released on October 15: Mississippi Half-Step, Let Me Sing Your Blues Away, Truckin'>Eyes Of The World>Weather Report Suite>Stella Blue.
Next is music from 8/29/83 in Eugene, Oregon, where we have the end of the first set and the start of the second set, featuring some high-octane Dead: Bird Song, It's All Over Now, Might As Well, China Cat Sunflower>I Know You Rider.
Lastly this week is the end of the show from 9/15/87 at Madison Square Garden, the Grateful Dead's return to MSG after four years away: Space>The Wheel>Gimme Some Lovin'>Black Peter>Sugar Magnolia, It's All Over Now Baby Blue.
Be sure to join us next week for more music from the vault.
David Lemieux
If you (or anyone else) are still having this issue, send me a PM with the details (browser, device, etc.). Thanks!
Looking into it, thanks!
The first selection cuts off in the middle of "Eyes of the World." I'd love to hear Weather Report Suite and Stella Blue.
never liked them. luckily they shush up during Dark Star on 9/11/73.
This night we got the Watchtower tease before Black Peter, Wednesday Night we got the GDTRFB Closing Jam before the Black Muddy encore. Which led up to Friday nights show and the smoking Second Set. What a great run of 5 shows in six days this was at MSG.
Next year we had King Kong join us at MSG, that was so cool walking down 7th avenue and seeing the 30 foot Kong in a Tye-dye at the entrance to MSG.
It seems like Bobby is trying to get the [then] new Brother Esau going, but after making no headway, It's all over now emerges.
1973 was a rich year, so there are plenty of transcendental performances from this period without having to rationalize that Jerry's solos compensate for the honk-blat-hank-blat buzzkill that warps every one of these horn shows. Nice try boys, but these can go to the back of the vault with a Mr. Yuk sticker on the box.
Too bad Let Me Sing didn't evolve.. Might have had an interesting arrangement in the '77-'78 era. I dig that chorus. Though Keith's vocals are not very strong. The sax sounds O.K. on this track, it's cool the Dead were always willing to break out of the standard in the first half of the 70s and try something different.
Anyway, this was my first listen of Let Me Sing Your Blues Away live. Reminds me of how much I freaked over Wake of the Flood when I bought the CD years ago as a youngster.
Now I'm listening to Truckin'... The horns do suck on this one. When they subside though, Jerry blisters a killer solo with Keith doing some weirdo ambient synth sounds. I like it.
Happy Holidays! Get outside and play that Dead music!
& A Happy New Weird!
(Love dat Eugene Dead, thanks dl)
Agree with SaintSteveg. Mid-Truckin' at this point and can't stand the horns. Don't know how many horn players are in this show, but one of them (less experienced, maybe) keeps rudely butting in, totally detracting from the jam. Hope it gets better in the rest of this selection. Marsalis and Clemmons are a whole different league.

text: There's something I just don't understand about buying proxies. People want to use them to stay anonymous, right? So why is it that during every attempt to pay for them from all the BH listed sellers and more, they ask for your name, address, phone number, etc? Asking for and/or giving this information and binding it with the proxies you are paying for is counter to the very reason why they are wanted. Maybe it's just me and I'm being paranoid or ignorant, but I'm seeing a logic fault here. If you have a solution or a workaround to this please speak up. I know people, and their money is good, but they just wanna stay out of the spotlight.

Occasionally when playing my compiled music segments, I get delays of around 20 seconds. Sometimes it's less, and sometimes not at all.
Is there any reason for this, and can it be fixed?

Sorry for the double post, but I figured it out.
It turned out that I had music files of different lengths in a playlist. The segment apparently sizes to the largest one…

London: Phil Neville has branded Manchester United`s miserable season under failed boss David Moyes as a complete disaster.
Former United defender Neville was a member of Moyes` coaching staff last term as they limped to a dismal seventh place finish in the Premier League just one year after being crowned champions in Alex Ferguson`s final season.
The 37-year-old, who played under Moyes at Everton, has since left Old Trafford following the arrival of Louis van Gaal as United`s new boss.
But that hasn`t stopped Neville reflecting on what went wrong during one of the worst season`s in United`s illustrious history.
"I`ve had sleepless nights thinking about what happened last year," Neville told the BBC`s Test Match Special.
"There is part of me that thinks it was an impossible job to follow Sir Alex Ferguson.
"I think Louis van Gaal has an easier task now, following the man that followed Sir Alex Ferguson.
"It was a really difficult job for David Moyes and I think rather than blame him, there has to be collective responsibility taken throughout the whole club.
"Last year was a complete failure, and a disaster from my point of view."
Moyes was sacked by United as soon as it became mathematically certain that they wouldn`t qualify for the Champions League and he has so far been unable to land a new job.
But Neville remains a fan of the Scot despite his United woe and believes he will bounce back when he returns to management.
"David Moyes is an outstanding manager and will go on to be one for another club - it just didn`t work out last season," Neville added.

Last time he tried, Ronald G. Hall lost about $40,000.
Nevertheless, he`s willing to try again -- that is if Bartlesville, Okla.,- based Phillips Petroleum Co. is serious about selling Pier 66 Hotel & Marina this time.
``Our group would definitely have an interest`` in the Fort Lauderdale landmark at 2301 SE 17th St., said Hall, president of Land, Sea and Air Development Corp., based in Beaver Falls, Pa. Hall`s family owns the company.
``We really actively wanted the property`` in 1979, Hall said, explaining that his company was ready to pay Phillips $28 million for Pier 66. That was before Phillips completed a hotel renovation that cost more than $20 million.
Today, Hall guesses the hotel and marina would sell for about $45 million -- although he said he`d like to see a prospectus.
In 1979, a Fort Lauderdale real estate agency had Pier 66 among its listings and arranged a meeting between Hall and Phillips officials, according to Hall. Hall said he put up a ``significant amount`` of money on the property, but Phillips` board later voted not to sell Pier 66.
While Phillips` spokesman Dan Harrison said he could not confirm the pricetag on the property in 1979, he did say, ``At the time we were out seeking offers to see what we could get.`` The board decided to remodel the establishment rather than to sell it, he added.
Besides losing interest on the money his firm put up, Hall said he also lost money on legal and other expenses incurred during negotiations. Hall, however, did not pursue his attorneys` advice to sue Phillips for those losses.

The Smiths star Johnny Marr will hit the road in October 2014 on a solo tour of the UK's biggest cities.
Johnny Marr has announced a UK solo tour.
The former Smiths musician is embarking on a series of live gigs this autumn, starting on October 13 in Lincoln and finishing up in Leeds on October 29.
The guitarist is expected to play songs from his 2013 solo debut, 'The Messenger', as well as from his second album, which is due for release around the time of the tour.
