Hanging is a fundamental of all programs at Science of Fitness and we are commonly queried as to "Why"?
So, the aim here is to answer that question and a few more.
The human shoulder is an extremely complex joint that can cause a huge amount of problems in people's lives and exercise habits. For thousands of years, human beings moved as it was a part of survival (think hunting, gathering, etc.). The modern world has altered the old lifestyle and our bodies haven't kept up with this change. The shoulder is a classic example of a joint that we no longer use as regularly and as a result problems arise when it is required. By simply hanging you are using the shoulder, quite rigorously. The muscles around the scapular, the AC joint, the glenohumeral joint and all down the arm are required to work. The glenohumeral joint capsule gets some length pulled into it and the forces of gravity on the vertebrae shit from compressive to lengthening. As a result, you will see an improvement in the following:
· Grip Strength
· Posture
· Glenohumeral stability
· Thoracic mobility
When does hanging not apply?
Hanging doesn't speed up recovery from acute impact and caution and respect is required when recovering from such trauma. Likewise, if a shoulder is "unhealthy" (bony spurs, calcified tissue, frozen shoulder etc.) and hasn't moved properly for years, precaution is recommended before using hanging as it can stir up inflammation and potentially cause impingement.
Who does hanging apply to?
Those of you hoping to improve your thoracic flexibility (posture), increase your grip strength, stabilise a hyper-mobile/unstable shoulder and improve psychological endurance hanging is highly recommended (see attached article).
Start with 30second efforts and build yourself to 3mins straight.
*A warning, it is not as easy as it sounds and your hands are not going to like it initially. It is a great step to improve not only your training but your everyday movement and physical health, so find a bar, some rings or a tree branch and hang around!
- Kieran Maguire
Brantner, J. N., & Basmajian, J. V. (1975). Effects of training on endurance in hanging by the hands. Journal of motor behavior, 7(2), 131-134.

SQLWayne shows how to break down counts of objects by type:
And while it did the trick, I was wanting, for no particular reason, to also have the total number of objects and the percentage. Again, no particular reason. It might be able to be done with a window function, but that is also something that I have limited familiarity with, so I decided to approach it as a CTE. And it works nicely. The objs CTE gives me a count of each object type while the tots CTE gives me the count of all objects. By giving each CTE a column with the value of 1, it's easy to join them together then calculate a percentage.
That's one of the nicest things about SQL as a language: you access metadata the same way you access regular data, so that technique can be used to query other data sets as well.
Thank you for the linkback, Kevin. I love the concept of your blog and expect I'll be keeping an eye on it! There's so much information online that it's hard to find quality info, your blog fills a nice niche.

Lucy lives in rural Northamptonshire and writes looking out over green fields full of sheep. She has a deskdog called Hero who generally lies between her screen and keyboard and is very good at encouraging Lucy when the writing is going slowly.
Her precious mother is dead – and it isn't an accident! The young Cleopatra – Pharaoh's illegitimate daughter – must flee the royal palace at Alexandria or die too. As her evil half-sisters usurp the throne, Cleo finds sanctuary at the sacred temple of Isis, where years later she becomes initiated into the secret Sisters of the Living Knot. But now Isis's power is failing, Egypt is in danger, and Cleo must prove her loyalty to her goddess by returning to the Alexandria she hates. She must seek out the hidden map which is the key to returning Isis's power – on pain of death. But will she be able to evade her horrible sisters? And will she find dreamy Khai, the über-hot Librarian boy she met as she fled Alexandria years before?

Recently we moved from a concept phase with AppFabric to a development phase. The concept testing had been done across several developer boxes all on the same domain on Windows 7. When we moved to an actual server, yet continued development on our boxes, those development servers exist on a different domain. Those domains are resolved in the following fashion for us, xxx-xxx.xx.xx. AppFabric had a real issue resolving this. We could ping it, we could resolve it in many different ways, yet AppFabric could not resolve the host name of xxx-xxx.xx.xx. The final resolution was to use just the server name xxx-xxx and add host entry files. This works beautifully and has allowed us to move on.
I spent days looking for answers on every search engine till I finally hunkered down and just found the resolution. It would not resolve when it was named by IP or DNS. The error I kept seeing was from the title of this blog. In the end, after reviewing and logging some serious stack trace, it looks like the .NET call to new Uri() is not able to resolve "." (dot) names. This sounds like and AppFabric bug I hope they resolve in future versions.
So if you are tracing this down and find this blog entry, and you use "." in your DNS names to cross domains, give this a try.

ATLANTA- Georgia State beach volleyball participated in their first ever home fall exhibition Saturday afternoon at the GSU Beach Complex. The Panthers won over 80 percent of the matches against visiting UAB.
GSU used 11 different pairings on the afternoon as 15 different Panthers saw action in the scrimmage. It was the first action in blue and white in front of the home crowd for transfer Kaylee McClure, as well as freshmen Maddy Delmonte, Kelly Dorn, Bailey Hatchett, and Becky Tresham.
Saturday was the second of a four date fall schedule for GSU. Next up for the Panthers is a trip to Gulf Shores, Alabama for a multi-team exhibition on October 27. Georgia State will wrap up the fall slate on November 3 at LakePoint in Emerson, Georgia.

Corn: Nearby futures prices closed up 1 to 1 1/2 cents in the nearby contracts today, in more subdued and range-bound trading action. Corn traders are waiting for a fundamental spark to push prices out of the recent sideways trading range. Maybe such news will occur Friday morning with the USDA flurry of updates on 2018 production, Dec. 1 inventories and world supply and demand projections. Slower ethanol production may lead to USDA cutting its corn usage forecast in Friday's reports. Processors used 454.5 million bu. of corn to make ethanol in November, according to USDA. Ethanol grind declined 5.6 million bu. (1.2%) from October and 21.2 million bu. (4.5%) from November 2017. Corn-for-ethanol grind in the first quarter of the 2018-19 marketing year was 1.360 billion bu., down 31 million bu. (2.2%) from last year. Scattered but heavy rains will begin to ease drought conditions for the second-season corn crop in areas of central Brazil as planting continues to advance. Dry weather is expected to aid saturated corn fields across Argentina until some showers return this weekend. Corn traders will be listening for President Trump to mention any additional details on China trade during this evening's annual State of the Union address to Congress.
Soybeans: Soybeans ended slightly higher and in the upper quarter of today's narrow trading ranges. March beans rose 1 ¾ cents to close at $9.20 1/4 and November was up 2 1/2 cents at $9.60 ½. March meal lost $1.10 and March oil gained 25 points, pushing oil's share of the crush to near 33%. The market is finding limited support from USDA confirming Chinese buying of U.S. soybeans the past two mornings. Nonetheless, it would not be surprising to see more sales announced in the near term to meet the Chinese commitments to buy 5 million metric tons as part of its negotiations last week in Washington. There is also some trepidation from the bears that have sold rallies since the Dec. 1 trade truce, ahead of tonight's State of the Union speech by President Trump, where he could announce more buying details. Today USDA confirmed private exporter sales of 2.603 MMT of U.S. soybeans to China for delivery in 2018-19. That is the third largest daily sales announcement since records began. Paired with Monday's sale, this brings total sales registered with USDA to 3.2 MMT. USDA also reported this morning 274,000 MT of beans were sold to unknown destinations for delivery by Aug. 31. USDA will likely cut its forecast for Brazil's soybean crop in Friday's WASDE report. Most are looking for a number in the 113 MMT to 116 MMT range, down from 122 MMT estimated in December. Still that report is likely to show record U.S. and world inventories, another reason for bears to remain in a "sell the rally" mode. Weather remains supportive to stabilizing yields in Brazil and supporting stronger output in Argentina. Soy harvest in Parana, Brazil's second-biggest grower, was 25% done this week, compared with zero last year, state researcher Deral said today. Last month the agency cut its crop forecast 12% to 16.8 MMT, from 19.1 MMT in December.
Wheat: Winter wheat futures finished mostly lower, with strength only in the front months as SRW March closed up 1 ½ cents to $5.27 ¼. Spring wheat was narrowly mixed. Basis bids are rising, and futures spreads are narrowing, which are signs that buyers are under the market looking to extend coverage. Cash markets lead futures out of bear markets and those two trends have been occurring for the last two months. That means there may a bullish surprise or two in the Feb. 8 USDA reports on inventories and U.S. winter wheat acreage. Traders have history of over-estimating winter seedings in the past. Wheat inventories in Canada at the end of December fell 0.2% to 23.233 MMT, according to Statistics Canada. Excluding durum, wheat supplies were down 3.5% to 17.095 MMT. Jordan purchased 60,000 MT of optional-origin wheat overnight in a tender seeking 120,000 MT. Traders are becoming impatient as to when U.S. wheat will find its way into more overseas tenders. It will be interesting to see how USDA adjusts its world wheat trade forecasts Friday. Rising world prices, amid active global buying of mostly Black Sea and east-European supplies, suggests there is still a large volume of global wheat buying that could come for U.S. wheat for delivery before new-crops supplies are available.
Cotton: Cotton futures finished with gains of 30 to 64 points, which was in the upper end of today's range but off session highs. Cotton futures didn't have a fundamental reason for today's price strength. In fact, the limited news that was available was mostly price-negative. The bulk of today's strength was tied to corrective buying amid ideas selling the past couple days was overdone. Price action is likely to be relatively quiet the next couple of days as traders prepare for Friday's Crop Production and Supply & Demand Reports. While there isn't expected to be any major market-moving news in the reports, it's also unlikely traders will add new positions ahead of their release.
Hogs: February lean hog futures closed down 95 cents and the April and June contracts lost $1.45 and $1.20, respectively. Prices closed near the session low, with April futures taking back about half of Monday's solid gains. Worries persist regarding large hog slaughter numbers coming to market until mid-February. Weaker cash hog prices today also weighed on the futures market. There are ideas hog marketings are still backed up by last week's plant reductions due to bitterly cold temps and snow-covered roads. Wholesale pork carcass prices fell 34 cents today, led down by lower ham and belly prices. Movement was 216.37 loads. Traders will be listening to see if President Trump will mention the U.S.-China trade dispute and perceived progress during this evening's annual State of the Union address.
Cattle: February live cattle closed up $1.075, with April and June contracts up 75 and 47 1/2 cents, respectively. Prices closed near the daily highs. Feeder cattle futures were down 7 1/2 cents in the March and off 20 cents in the May contract. Choice boxed beef prices fell 26 cents today, while Select was up 28 cents, with movement light at only 66 loads on the day. Choice beef prices surged $3.39 Monday. Unless wholesale beef trade is strong enough to encourage packers to raise bids, cash cattle prices this week are expected to be steady to weaker than last week's $123.87 average. Cattle numbers should begin to seasonally slide, but it looks like there may be more than enough market-ready supplies this week and that could weigh on packer bids amid the light beef sales to start this week. Still, underlying demand for beef is expected to be good into the middle of the summer grilling season.

Scout Ventures invests in Miami startup LiveNinja
A Wynwood technology startup is Scout Ventures' first South Florida investment.
Scout's managing partner, Bradley Harrison, announced in September that the New York-based venture capital firm specializing in early-stage companies was opening its first office outside New York in Miami. On Tuesday night at a Startup Grind event at The LAB Miami, Harrison announced that Scout will lead an undisclosed round in LiveNinja, a company that provides live video chat services.
"We are super excited about LiveNinja for a bunch of different reasons," said Harrison, before the event. "They are a company ingrained into the entrepreneurial ecosystem here in Miami, they have a strong set of local angel investors and they have built a unique proprietary technology with a strong team under Will's leadership."
Will Weinraub, co-founder and CEO, said the funding will go toward expanding the enterprise sales team, marketing, launching mobile applications and expanding its platform. "We are very excited to be moving into 2015 with Scout on board," he said.
LiveNinja, now with a team of 12, is focusing on its Katana product for the enterprise market. "We are at the right place with the right technology at the right time... We are focused on scaling Katana, growing our partnership channel and getting lots of businesses to use our technology on their websites," said Weinraub.
A few of its clients are Opulence International Realty, Combat Gentlemen, Femwell and Live Vet. Some clients are using it for sales and customer support, and others are using it for telemedical purposes because the technology is flexible, Weinraub said. LiveNinja has raised about $1 million to date, about 70 percent of it from local angel investors, said Weinraub.
Scout is currently looking at two or three other companies to decide if they are a fit for its fund. "The local community of angel investors has been very supportive and has sent us a lot of different deals to look at. We have a huge pipeline of companies we are reviewing so there is a lot of work to be done yet," Harrison said. "By making the LiveNinja investment, hopefully the Miami community understands that Scout is serious about being here."

I'm not so sure about today red spinning bar, especially when it is meandering around the resistance line. The saving grace is that price still closed above the 5 MA line. It could as well be another pausing bar before the next leg up; but be prepared for a bit more correction if the 5 MA is taking out to the downside.
Overall trend is still very bullish; no question about that; but no quarter must be given to the bear at this point.
$DMRC corrected a bit more. At this point, this is a waiting game for me. Whatever the short-sellers try to do is none of my business since I'm not selling a single shares based on their manipulation and tricks. Even if price rallied to $50 after the earning update, I'm not selling my shares either. So what does it matter if short-sellers forced it down to $24? If they have not covered yet; even better. I'm betting on the adoption and that is all there is. Everything else is just noise. In two years price could be significantly higher from here if I'm right about the adoption The world is changing and I just don't see how the brick & mortar retailers can advance further without the Digimarc barcode.
Just imagine the future where shopping carts in the stores are all intelligent machines. When you place an item in the cart, the smart cart will automatically add the item to the checkout list thanks to Digimarc barcode. And when you pull an item out of the cart, the smart cart will know too and delete the item from the checkout list. And when you are done shopping, you push the smart cart to the checkout area and is immediately present with a total cost in your mobile phone. You click accept to pay, unload the content of the shopping cart to your bag and you are on the way.
"Wait! Don't you have to wait for your turn?"
There is no waiting since the smart cart has already completed the checkout list that was formally handled by the checkout clerk of the past. When your cart comes near the checkout center, the checkout center automatically receives the info from the smart cart by wireless connection and route the total to the payment process which in turn send the final tally to your mobile phone for payment approval.
This is the ultimate fast checkout shopping in the future of retail operation from my vision. And this can only be done with the use of technology like the Digimarc invisible barcode. Again, the world is changing and technology like the Digimarc invisible watermark cannot be ignored 'cause the benefit of having it is just too great for the future of retailers to miss it.
Therefore, I don't care about the stupid game the short-sellers are throwing at us (long investors) with the manipulation of the stock price. In fact, if they continue to throw good money after bad by jacking up the short-interest even more trying to push price further down, I'll be looking for fund to buy more. Eventually, all the short-sellers are doing is to give the investors with long-term perspective of the stock to buy more cheap shares. In another words, the short-sellers are donating their effort to help the long investors to buy cheap shares. And when good news come that all major retailers are adopting the Digimarc solution, the new longs and old longs will be fighting to buy more shares along with the short-sellers trying to cover. Good luck with that.
The chart above really doesn't mean anything at this point. Of course, the short-sellers will want you to be fearful about breaking the support. Nope, the chart only reflects the action of the manipulation and nothing more. It bears no relationship to the fundamental development of the Digimarc's infrastructure. As long as Digimarc continues on its infrastructure development, I'm holding my shares.
$IBIO dropped back a bit due to the overhead 79 & 89 resistance. It may take a few more times before it can break out to the upside. The Phase I fibrosis trial is supposed to start in the 1st quarter of 2016 and I bought shares when nobody wanted it now. So, this is another waiting game.
Let's see if there is another attempt to rally from here.
$BIOC closed higher today before the earnings update. The key positives I got out of the earning update are the following:
- Biomarker assay for Prostrate cancer will be available by end of 2015
- Blue Cross is on board covering the cost of the liquid biopsy performed by Biocept.
I'm sure there are other good points but the above key points are good enough for me to hold this one for long-term regardless of the stupid game short-sellers are going to throw at it. If Biocept can come up with another 93% or higher concordance with tissue biopsy on the prostrate biomarker, this company will stand to make a lot of money. I believe 2016 will be a breakout year for Biocept. For now, I'll just hold on to my shares. Oh btw, I peeled off more $AKAO this morning to buy more $BIOC due to the news this morning regarding the extremely high sensitivity of Biocept's Blood-Based Liquid Biopsy Platform in Detecting EGFR Mutation in Plasma with 93% Concordance with Tissue Biopsy. This is now a no brainer buy and hold.
Notice that $BIOC broke out of the downtrend line today as well as the 79 & 89 resistance. It will be nice to see it stays above these resistance tomorrow. But then, it doesn't really matter what it does on the chart. I'm holding regardless of what the chart says.
$AKAO was down today probably due to some nervous holders getting out before earnings. However, I like what I read below from the news:
"The company remains on track to open clinical sites in Q4 2015 with top-line results and an NDA submission expected in the second half of 2017.
'I'm pleased with the progress made during the quarter to expedite plazomicin's path to market. Implementing the EPIC study is an exciting development for Achaogen as it will support plazomicin therapy in the substantial patient population with MDR cUTI, who are currently underserved, and will underpin the Company's plan for an NDA and subsequent commercialization in the U.S. and other markets,' commented Dr. Kenneth Hillan, Achaogen's Chief Executive Officer."
The above tells me that we are about to see some action regarding the top-line result from opening the clinical sites in Q4 2015. Well, we are in Q4 2015 now; so we may hear something soon. While I've peeled off a chunk of $AKAO from my original large size (it used to be my 2nd largest position); I'm now quite comfortable with the shares I've now for the big "gamble" regarding the top-line result.
Again, the chart above doesn't mean anything 'cause the top-line result is the KEY catalyst, not the chart.
$ARTH dropped back down a bit due to some impatient investors getting tired of waiting. But I'm patient, so I'm holding and waiting.
By now, you know that all my positions are basically a waiting game for the fundamental story to develop. And my investment style has evolved into a buy and hold on the most promising technologies from my perspective. Before my evolution to buy and hold, I used to swing-trade a lot and that was the reason I posted my charts daily. Charts are very helpful in telling you what everyone is doing. Are there more sellers than buyers? What is the volume? On top of that, popular chart-patterns sometimes give you an "edge" but you still need to have a strong discipline to follow a good trading strategy to take advantage of the chart patterns. After so many years of timing the market with some successes, I realize the BIG money is not in timing the market but on finding the new breakout technologies that can change the world we live in for the better.
Sure, I'm a late bloomer to realize this simple strategy when a lot of people have already grown wealthy holding on to MSFT, AMZN, GOOG, AAPL, FB, PCLN, etc. from the time of the IPOs. But it is NEVER too late to learn new thing and change for the better. Remember, buy and hold is only a PART of the successful buy and hold strategy, the other KEY element of successful buy and hold strategy is finding the RIGHT stocks to hold. It is my 2 cents that I've found what I believed to be the companies that have the potential to change the world for the better as my candidates (albeit high-beta) for my risky buy and hold strategy. It has taken me many years of trading to come to this point and settle into these stocks for my ultimate bet.
After some shifting of my positions around lately, I've finally created a portfolio of stocks with the proper allocation that I'm comfortable with. Now, the real game begins. For my buy-and-hold thesis, charts don't mean anything anymore since I'm not trying to time the market. Thus, whatever the short-sellers try to do now is their business and will have no effect on me. The only effect will be when the fundamental story does not move in the direction of what I've expected. But the company has to be the one to tell me that, not the manipulative action of short-sellers.

Dokken is an American heavy metal band formed in 1978.
They split up in 1989 but reformed four years later.
The group accumulated numerous charting singles and has sold more than 10 million albums worldwide.
The band was nominated for a Grammy in 1989.Dokken was composed of founder Don Dokken on vocals, George Lynch on lead guitar, Juan Croucier on bass and Mick Brown on drums.
In 1983 Croucier left Dokken in order to join Ratt and was replaced by Jeff Pilson.
Currently only Dokken and Brown remain from the original line-up.
After several personnel changes on guitar Dokken's attorney Jon Levin stepped in to fill the role in 2004.
In 2001 Barry Sparks replaced Jeff Pilson on bass.
In 2009, Sean McNabb (formerly of Great White and Quiet Riot fame) replaced Barry Sparks on bass guitar.Early years (1976-1983)Dokken was first formed around 1976 when Don Dokken teamed up with Greg Pecka (drums) and Steven R.
Barry (bass).
Prior to this Don had been playing club shows in the Los Angeles area billed as "Airborn", but had to change the band name to Dokken because another band with the same name had already acquired a record deal.
In 1981 Don Dokken flew to Germany to sing background vocals on the upcoming Scorpions album Blackout in order to assist the band's vocalist Klaus Meine who was suffering from a vocal ailment.
While there, Accept was recording in another studio and its manager was able to secure Don a deal with Carrere Records.
Breaking the Chains was first released on this label in Germany under the name "Don Dokken", but shortly thereafter Don met up with George Lynch and Mick Brown, playing in a band called Xciter at the time.With the addition of Juan Croucier, Dokken finally had a steady line-up.
Meanwhile in the United States, manager Cliff Bernstein got the band signed in the United States.
The band did an arena tour in the United States supporting Blue Öyster Cult in 1983, but when the tour was over the band was left with little money and was nearly dropped from the label due to the album's lack of success.While the band was very popular in Europe during this time they had not yet made commercial progress in the United States.
Magazines such as Kerrang! publicized Dokken in the UK.Commercial success (1983-1988)Juan Croucier left Dokken in 1983 just prior to the release of the "Breaking the Chains" video to join Ratt.
He was replaced by Jeff Pilson, who joined in time to film the video (without having played the song).
The Tooth and Nail album released on 13 September 1984.
The album contained several hit songs including "Just Got Lucky", "Alone Again", and "Into The Fire", and sold over one million copies in the US alone, peaking at No. 49, while selling another estimated one million copies worldwide.
On November 9, 1985 the band's third album Under Lock and Key was released.
It also sold over one million copies with the singles "In My Dreams" (#24), "The Hunter" (#25) and "It's Not Love".
During this time in the 1980s, Dokken opened for such bands as Judas Priest, AC/DC, Aerosmith, and Dio among others.
In 1986, Heavy Metal Parking Lot, a documentary about concert goers before a Dokken and Judas Priest concert, was filmed and released.Following a successful tour with Scorpions, Dokken returned to the studio in December 1986 to record "Dream Warriors", a song for the movie soundtrack A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The track brought the band to the attention of many UK hard rock fans.
The song was released as a single (Dream Warriors / Back for the Attack) on February 10, 1987.
After this release, the band took nearly 6 months off before recording Back for the Attack.
The album was released on November 27, 1987, with the singles "Burning Like a Flame" (#20), "Heaven Sent" and "Prisoner" (#37) making the album the band's most successful release, reaching No. 13 on U.S.
It also included a remixed version of the single "Dream Warriors" (#22), and the accompanying music video featured band members interacting with the film's characters.
Back for the Attack became Dokken's third record to reach platinum status.After releasing "Back for the Attack", the band toured as part of the Monsters of Rock Tour 1988 festival in the summer of 1988 along with Van Halen, Scorpions, Metallica, and Kingdom Come.
Recordings from their April 1988 tour in Japan led to the release of live album Beast from the East on November 16, 1988, which went Gold in the United States and charted at No. 33.
The album scored one studio single, titled "Walk Away" and a music video was made for it.Split (1989-1993)Dokken broke up in March 1989, due to creative and personal differences between Don Dokken and George Lynch.
During this split Lynch and Brown formed Lynch Mob and recorded two albums: Wicked Sensation in 1990 and Lynch Mob in 1992.Don Dokken also recorded what has been regarded as a strong solo album, titled Up from the Ashes in 1990 which spawned two singles, very much in the vein of previous Dokken efforts.Bassist Jeff Pilson, switching to lead vocals and guitar, formed Flesh & Blood in 1989 and recorded a 5-song demo.
Further recordings under the name War & Peace surfaced as Time Capsule in 1993, by which time the group had already disbanded.
Pilson joined the McAuley Schenker Group for their 1992 album, M.S.G..
Afterwards, Pilson signed on with Dio for the Strange Highways album, reuniting with former Flesh & Blood band mate Vinny Appice.Lynch's first solo effort, 1993's Sacred Groove, reunited him with Don Dokken for the writing of the track "We Don't Own This World." Don Dokken was also supposed to sing lead on the track, however at the last moment, Don was unable to attend the studio session and was replaced by Matthew and Gunnar Nelson.
Jeff Pilson also collaborated with Lynch on the album, co-writing the lyrics to "Flesh and Blood" and playing bass on "We Don't Own This World."Reformation (1993-1997)After releasing Up from the Ashes in 1990 Don Dokken wrote another solo album in 1993.
Titled Dysfunctional, the album was recorded and produced in Don's studio.
However when John Kalodner wanted to sign him for the album, he suggested that George Lynch be brought back into the band so that the album could be marketed as a Dokken album, and not another Don Dokken solo effort.
Despite the fact that the tension between Lynch and Don Dokken was the cause of the band's 1989 split, the two agreed to put their problems behind them for the time being.
The band re-united in 1994 along with Mick Brown and Jeff Pilson, with Lynch re-writing and re-recording the guitar solos on the album, which were originally conceived by Don.
Dokken was signed with Columbia Records and the album managed to sell over 300,000 copies despite the decline in popularity of similar bands during this time.During the tour supporting Dysfunctional, old tensions between George and Don had resurfaced and the band began to split apart.
During a Columbia promotion for the new album in which the band was scheduled to play live on 120 radio stations, Lynch unexpectedly left the studio and refused to re-enter.
The record company was forced to air the rehearsal tape that had been recorded earlier and four days later the label dropped Dokken, presumably because of this and other similar incidents involving Lynch's behavior.
One Live Night, a live acoustic album was released in 1996 by a new label, CMC, and was followed with Shadowlife in 1997.
Don Dokken was dissatisfied with Shadowlife, an album in which George Lynch took total control and even went as far as to replace the original Dokken logo on the album.
Don alleges that George intended to destroy the band with this album, reciting the following quote from Lynch in an interview: "This is the perfect record.
This is gonna be the end of Dokken, and that is what I wanted to accomplish."Decline and line up changes (1997-2008)In late 1997, Lynch left the band.
Needing a guitarist, Dokken looked to Europe guitarist John Norum who had previously played on his 1990 solo album and was familiar with the band's catalog, to help him finish the tour.
Lynch tried to re-join the group just days before the tour began, but was told that he was "out" by the rest of the group.
A lawsuit followed in which Lynch sued the band for $1 million, but the band prevailed in the verdict.
After the European tour, John Norum was unable to continue as he had previously committed to a solo record.
The band then hired former Winger guitarist Reb Beach, and recorded in 1999 the aptly titled Erase the Slate.
Dokken released another live album titled Live from the Sun in 2000 before the departure of Beach.Beach, who wanted to work on some other projects and could not commit to Dokken long term, was replaced by John Norum, who was now in between projects and able to participate in the band's touring schedule.
Bassist Jeff Pilson also left the band, replaced by Barry Sparks.
In a 2004 interview, Don Dokken stated that Jeff left because "he wanted to do something different and didn't want to keep playing these songs over and over again." Of the original members, only Dokken and Mick Brown remained.
This line-up released the album Long Way Home, but Norum suffered a hand injury during the band's 2002 spring tour of Europe and had to be replaced by Alex De Rosso, previously of Dark Lord.
That year Dokken was featured in the Metal Edge Rock Fest tour along with Ratt, FireHouse, and other similar acts.
In the spring of 2003, Dokken embarked on an extensive tour of the United States opening for Scorpions and Whitesnake.
After the tour guitarist Alex De Rosso lost his visa and had to return to Italy, at which point Don Dokken called Jon Levin who formerly played guitar on Doro's Force Majeure, and also had previously met with the band and played a single show in 1998.
Levin joined the band, and the line-up of Dokken, Brown, Levin, and Sparks would remain through 2008.
Dokken released Hell to Pay in 2004, which was seen by critics as a modern approach to the band's style.
The band continued extensive touring in 2005 and 2006.
2007 saw the release of both a live CD and a compilation DVD.
The CD, titled From Conception: Live 1981, is a previously unreleased live recording from the band's early years which Don discovered in their master vault.
The DVD release titled Unchain the Night was first released on VHS in 1986 and is a compilation of the band's music videos along with interviews and other footage.
The band also performed at the glam metal festival Rocklahoma in both 2007 and 2008.Recent events (2008-2010)On May 13, 2008, Dokken released their first studio album in four years titled Lightning Strikes Again, which was met with increased commercial success and became the band's highest-charting album in 13 years, debuting at No. 133 in the United States.
The album was a return to the band's signature sound and the songs follow the classic Dokken formula.
Don Dokken told interviewers that Jon Levin was the bandmate who wanted the band to make an album with the classic sound in mind, and remarked that the process was difficult, saying: "I had to get back in that mindset.
This is what the fans wanted, and if I stay focused on that I would give them a straight-ahead Dokken record." During the spring and summer of 2008 in order to promote the new Dokken album, Don Dokken and Jon Levin participated in dozens of interviews including Rockline, KNAC, The Classic Metal Show, as well as a series of podcasts available on the band's website.During the summer of 2008, the band toured with Sebastian Bach and Poison.
Sparks and Brown were not part of the summer 2008 touring line-up.
Brown signed on to play with Ted Nugent for the summer before Dokken was offered the slot on the Poison tour, making him unable to tour in support of Lightning Strikes Again.
Sparks was in Asia performing with a stadium act and was unable to tour with Dokken until he was able to get a visa for his wife.
Chris McCarvill from House of Lords played bass.
Jeff Martin of Racer X and Badlands played drums for the 2008 tour until he was fired by Don Dokken.
Chris McCarvill's House of Lords bandmate B.J.
Zampa filled in as drummer for the remainder of the tour.Since then Dokken have toured extensively with Mick Brown back on drums (BJ Zampa filling in on drums when Mick is busy touring with Ted Nugent).
Sean McNabb ex of Quiet Riot and Great White has remained on bass, along with Jon Levin on guitar and Don Dokken on vocals.
In 2010, the band opened for the Scorpions on select dates of their U.S.
On March 1, 2010 Dokken digitally released Greatest Hits, a collection of re-recorded songs from their 1980s albums with two new tracks, to iTunes and Amazon.com.
The physical album with additional tracks was released on King Records (Japan) on April 21, 2010 and is available in the United States through Cleopatra Records.On November 29, 2009 during an encore at a Dokken show at The House Of Blues in Anaheim, George Lynch and Jeff Pilson joined Mick Brown and Don Dokken for two songs, the first time they were on stage together in 12 years.In early 2010 Lynch announced a reunion of Dokken's "classic" line-up, though the announcement was followed by a retraction on February 24.
In May 2010 George Lynch and Don Dokken appeared together as guests on Season 5, Episode 7 of television show That Metal Show.
Don Dokken and Lynch Mob toured through the summer and fall of 2010.On December 8, 2010 George Lynch announced on his web site and in interviews earlier that a Dokken reunion will not be happening.
Lynch stated:We feel it's important to let folks know there will be no Dokken reunion in the foreseeable future, if ever.
This is Don's decision, despite Jeff's and my best intentions and efforts over the past few years to make this happen in good faith.
My apologies to VH1, Eddie Trunk, Steve Strange and all the fans who were pulling for this to happen.Broken Bones (2011-present)Dokken planned to release a new studio album in the fall of 2012, with recording planned to finish by February and release before the band went on tour in June.
The album would be released worldwide on Frontiers Records, which announced the signing of Dokken on November 22, 2011.

The song is a power ballad titled "I'll Say Goodbye".
Don also sang lead vocals on the song "Hard Sensation".In 2009 Dokken appeared in a series of commercials for Symantec's Norton Internet Security 2010.

Each ad features a different outcome, based on whether or not the "Dokken Virus" was allowed into the system.In the episode of the sketch comedy series, Wonder Showzen titled "Space" a baby is seen with acne in the shape of the Dokken band logo.
In an episode the animated MTV show Celebrity Deathmatch, the band was mentioned by James Hetfield of Metallica when he fought against Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit, saying that he would prefer fighting one of Slayer's or Dokken's members instead of Durst.

In the episode they claimed that the main cause of their rift was a publicity stunt that they both eventually started to believe.
George also stated that Don also wanted to "take all the money and all the credit" did not help, with Don nodding during the statement.
They both also mentioned that they would love to have a reunion with Don, George, Jeff, and Mick, but that they are all too busy with other projects in 2010 (between Dokken's current lineup, Lynch Mob, Jeff's involvement with Foreigner, etc.).
They did not rule out a 2011 reunion - but it did not come to pass.

An Umno lawmaker questioned whether Khairy Jamaluddin had forgotten Malay culture after the former party Youth chief criticised some members' donation drive for embattled former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
Datuk Tajuddin Abdul Rahman said those party members' solidarity with Najib, who has since been charged with three counts of criminal breach of trust and another of power abuse, is part of Malay culture in respecting their leaders and helping them when in need.
"Does Khairy not understand the Malay culture?" Tajuddin told the Malay Mail yesterday.
"What happened now is many young people are trying to emulate and imitate the Western culture where they become individualistic and self-centred. They forget about their families when they are grown up. This is not the Malay culture.
"We want to change and progress, but for the better and not for the worst. We want to improve what we have," added the Sik Umno division chief.
The Pasir Salak MP said Khairy's series of tweets, which criticised racial sentiments raised by Umno leaders, made the Rembau MP seem too "liberal".
He said Khairy should represent himself as a leader of Umno by putting Bumiputera rights and Islam first, as stated in the party's constitution.
"Does he want to be the leader of non-Malays or the leader of his own people, the Malays or Pribumis? He should put the Pribumis first I am a Pribumi first and Malaysian second. I belong to a party that is a Malay party and not a Malaysian party.
"We must look back at our party constitution, but at the same time, we do not deny the rights of other races," he said.
Tajuddin claimed that although Umno upheld Islam and the rights of Malays, the party did not marginalise or abandon other races during its 60-year governance of the country since independence.
"We are trying to help out people while others are enjoying life and benefitting from what we did as well. How can one accuse Umno of being racist? It is an unbecoming statement," he said.
Umno supreme council member Datuk Lokman Noor Adam, while agreeing with Khairy that the party could choose to go right-wing or take a moderate approach, disagreed with the Rembau MP's claim that Umno had been using racial rhetoric after its party election.
He said returning to the party's basic cause – which was protecting Malay rights, taking care of Islam and defending the rights of the monarchy – did not mean Umno has taken the "ultra-Malay" approach.
Lokman said this was provided for in the Umno constitution.
"We are going back to our principles according to the party constitution. If he thinks we have to be more liberal compared to what we have been doing now, then I beg to differ," he said, referring to Khairy.
"The main reason we lost in the recent general election was because we were seen to have not 100 per cent protected the interests of Malays and Islam, which led to Malay voters opting to vote for PAS instead," said the president of NGO Pemantau Malaysia Baru (PMB).
Lokman said Khairy should channel his focus towards helping the party highlight current issues such as the cost of living, which had already been raised by his NGO since the formation of the new Pakatan Harapan (PH) government.
"We have been consistently criticising the failure of PH to fulfil their election promises.
"Khairy should have done better if he chooses to help the party voice out such matters on behalf of the public," he said.
Khairy warned Umno on Thursday that it risked folding in 10 to 15 years if it went further right and used racist tactics.
In a series of tweets, Khairy expressed disappointment with his party's newly elected leaders for attacking the appointments of non-Muslims as chief justice (CJ) and attorney general, saying that these were small issues compared to the economy and other social problems.
The former Cabinet minister said he was trying to fix his "house" so that it would not remain an extremist and racist right-wing party.
Lokman and his PMB have made racially-charged remarks since Umno and Barisan Nasional's (BN) defeat, among others, accusing DAP of trying to make Christianity the country's "official religion".
Some Umno leaders have also criticised Putrajaya for recognising Unified Examination Certificate (UEC), and harped on about the use of the Malay language. – Malay Mail

We really wanted to see the totality and we began planning our trip 3 weeks before the event. So we didn't see it! Instead, we went to the Adirondacks and saw 66% of it, relaxing in our inflatable sofa for exactly the amount of time it took to take this photo and then I got up and started flailing like a maniac because I decided it would be a good idea to put on lavender body spray and every bug within 1000 miles thought I was a flower.

Where Is Your Faith?
One day Jesus said to his disciples, "Let us go over to the other side of the lake." So they got into a boat and set out. As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.
The disciples went and woke him, saying, "Master, Master, we're going to drown!"
He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm. "Where is your faith?" he asked his disciples.
In fear and amazement they asked one another, "Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him."
- Luke 8:22-25
After Jesus calmed the storm, he asked the disciples the simple question, "Where is your faith?" Different emotions come up as people hear that question - often it feels like a chastisement, an insult, or a threat. But Jesus is so regularly curious about people, I wonder if that's not a real question.
So let's think about what he asks. Where is your faith? Ponder these ways of thinking about that question:
- What are the institutions you place trust in? How about the people you put trust in? Where is that healthy, and where are you asking too much of them to rescue you? Really, this is a question of what or who is the target of your faith, the place where your faith is grounded, anchored.
- Where are you on your spiritual journey? When it comes to how you connect with God, how would you summarize the last decade, the last year the last month, the last week, the last day? This is a question of whether your trajectory going in the right direction and whether you are growing.
Talking with Jesus about those questions and your answers today.

There's nothing better than writing about Athletics. Today Pt England had a hole day of sports and exhausting activities. We had fun and played a lot. Every time I lost, I would get mad. The most fun event was sprinting .I felt like ice cream, But we were not allowed out of school grounds. The Day had came to the end I nearly came 1st in Shot Put but came in 5th.........
Athletics is the best sporting event in school!
The hardest activity I ever did was when I tried to do the triple jump
High jump was kind of hard because I couldn't do it
Lifting the shot put was so heavy
Every time I lost, I would get mad
The most fun event was sprinting
I felt like ice cream
Coming to the end of the race, I almost came 3rd place
So much had been done by the end of the day.

24 May Wellbeing Survey- D, J, P, K and L Divisions
Cycling challenge in memory of PC Lewis Fulton raises more than £14,000 for COPS
A mammoth cycling challenge in memory of a police officer who was killed in the line of duty has raised more than £14,000.
The 'Fulton500' saw three retired officers ride more than 500 miles in just six days to mark the 25th anniversary of PC Lewis Fulton's death.
The trio battled rain, wind and sleet during the cycle around the North Coast 500 before finishing up at Inverness Castle on Sunday May 12.
PC Tommy Loan, 57, Chief Superintendent Alan Gall, 55, and PC David Brannan, 63, were blown away by the generosity shown to them by the Highland community.

Deputy Chief Constable Will Kerr said: "Scotland's policing estate has suffered from a lack of investment as well as poor investment decisions.
"Some buildings are no longer in the right place, operationally fit for purpose or designed in a way which allows us to work alongside key delivery partners. Doing nothing is not an option.
"At the heart of this strategy is a transition to a modernised, demand-led and co-occupied estate where we can work most effectively with partners in other blue light services, local authorities and justice agencies."

Let them eat salt!
If you have been keeping abreast of the news lately, you might have come across a news story that highlighted a recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), which found that salt consumption wasn't associated with an increase in systolic blood pressure in either men or women, after controlling for factors like age (1). Given that health authorities have been saying for years that salt increases the risk of hypertension, these recent findings are another wrench in works for low-salt proponents. This is not to say that very high salt consumption is safe. There is good evidence that reducing salt intake from 9-12 g per day, in large part from eating junk food and prepackaged foods, to less than 7 g per day, does promote a significant fall in systolic blood pressure (2). The problem is getting a handle on what exactly this means, particularly when these same changes seem to have no effect on lipid levels, and the risk of dying from cardiovascular disease is at … [Read more...]
Q&A: How to change health care?
How would you change health care? This is a big question, and could easily form the subject of several books. But since I don't have the time to do this, I am only going to highlight a couple points and keep the discussion brief, and welcome input from others. The first issue when it comes to health is one of personal responsibility. None of us are born with an instruction manual, and so it is very important to provide people with a model of health and personal health care that is easy to understand and practice, including both diet and lifestyle. I believe that medical science is too complex a model - too liable to shift and change opinions - to be a sustainable model for health care. You should not need to go to school and become a doctor to understand how your body works. Thus, the first task I believe is to provide people with a simple model that accurately represents effective health practices that work. Fortunately we have many examples of traditional health care models … [Read more...]
Q&A: How to get omega 3-6-9s?
What oils are best to get our omega 369s? Before I answer your question directly, let's do a little review. When we talk about dietary fats, most of the time we are referring to triglycerides, which are three fatty acids attached to a glycerol backbone. Sometimes the fatty acids are all the same type, but most often there is some natural variation. Fatty acids are made up of carbon chains bonded to together, and due to the unique properties of carbon, leaves a space on the sides of the carbon atoms to accept hydrogen atoms on either side of the chain. A fatty acid carbon chain with all the side spots filled with hydrogen is a saturated fatty acid, whereas if one spot is empty, the fatty acid is unsaturated. If there is only one spot available, then the fatty acid is a monounsaturated fatty acid, and if there is more than one spot open it becomes a polyunsaturated fatty acid. Where there is no hydrogen bond to the a carbon, the two adjacent carbons will form a weak double bond. … [Read more...]

Our thoughts are constantly trying to express themselves in our lives.
What we think ,we attract. Or become attracted to. Simples. You know this. I know this. Oprah knows this. But sometimes we forget it. We forget to be crystal clear about our intentions. We get sloppy, or maybe scared. But probaby just sloppy.
Fact is: we can use mental imagery to direct our actions and our life towards getting more of what we want and less of what we don't want. No biggy.
So, do you have a visualization practise?
Jim Carrey does. In the early 1990's as a struggling actor he wrote himself a check for $10 million for "acting services rendered", dated for 1994. Then Dumb and Dumber happened and Jim got paid exactly $10 million for playing Lloyed Christmas. Today he continually credits his success to constant visulaization -- using mental imagery to create clear visions of what you want in your life.
Jim's not the only not-so-dumb daydreamer. Everyone and their uncle are doing it. Say what you may about Oprah Whinfree, but while the rest of us were getting our preparation plans ready Oprah pulled herself up from poverty and became one of the wealthiest women in the world. She knows for sure that we should:
" Create the highest, grandest vision possible for your life, because you become what you believe."
I mean. Amen, right? But who here is actually doing this on the regular?
We've heard it since forever. We know that our thoughts are powerful creative forces. We know that we gravitate towards the shit we think about the most. We get it. But do we use it?
We do train our cardio vascular system to be stronger and last longer. We work out and stretch so that our bodies will keep working for us. We have savings accounts and pensions and wills; we window shop for houses and procrastinate like PROS . Honestly, "One day" is going to be the longest, weirdest day ever.
How can we communicate even better with our minds? How can we lift the ceiling of what we subconsciously tell ourselves is possible? How do we get the most out of all this wishing and waiting white noise?
With images. Clear, vivid, visuals.
There's always a picture pulling your actions in a very specific direction. You may as well think ahead and make it an image you actively, deliberately designed. And colored and signed.
The power of visualisation is real. By imagining yourself already having achieved your goals, you allow your thoughts and actions to follow suit, effortlessly. It's like magic but not.
Mental imagery and affirmations are used by athletes, celebrities, leaders and everyday dudes like us to focus in and mentally rehearse. Thoughts stimulate the nervous system in the same way that actual events do. Makes sense. The coaches of Olympic Athletes can tell you why. In the meantime, ...
Here's some help with a lil 10 minute visualisation exercise:
Get a pen and paper or have someone que you on the following questions and write down what you come up with. Take your time. Get super comfy and shift your attention from the outside buzz to the chill within. (granted, now might not be the best time to do this, in which case check in again later. I'll be here. Peace)
- Rest your attention on nothing but your breathing for a few deep inhales and loooong exhales. Now, pull up an imaginary picture of yourself. Any image. JUST IMAGINE YOU. If you need to put some time to it, picture yourself in like 2 years time. Avoid any and all limits here --financial, physical, mental, historical, geographical. This is really a World and Oyster situation. Don't cramp your style. Take the time. Get a nice ideal, romantisized image of yourself, anywhere.
Then elaborate. Start describing it:
· what can you see all around you? List everything you see. What does it feel like to be you in that image? If you're content, how come? Why are you so chill?
· What kind of people are in your life? What do they look like? Confident, comfortable, peaceful? Or how? What are they doing? What do they value ? How do they make you feel? What do they do to support you? What do you do to support you?
· What are your hobbies? What gets you to jump out of bed with excitement? How do you care for others? How do you take care of yourself? By doing what?
· In this ideal vision of you, how do others see you? Your friends and family and the wider community - how are you viewed by others? What do people appreciate or admire about you? When people introduce you professionally what do they say? What's your bio? Write it. Write out your DREAM BIO.
· What do you do for 'work'? What do your days look like? Draw out the plan of your IDEAL 'work' day. From dusk till dawn, draw it out. Pin it, see it, save it. Keep it. Like Jim Carrey's check. And check it regularly.
Clarifying your intentions. Be detailed and deliberate about where you're heading.
You will get what you wish for. Tony Robbins says it:
"Whatever you hold in your mind on a consistent basis is exactly what you will experience in your life."
Namastè genies. Go create your highest vision.
And wear sunscreen for goodness sake.

Assuming all goes (relatively) as planned on Days 1 and 2, I would like to reserve one day for a trip to Durham, mainly to see the Lindisfarne Gospels exhibit. I have been to Durham and Chester-le-Street many times (and seen the Lindisfarne Gospels in the British Library), but to see the manuscript this close to its earlier homes is a wonderful opportunity.
My plan is to make a full circle counter-clockwise: go from Penrith over the Pennines via Stainmore Pass, which would be the route Aldred's family took, and possibly Aldred himself as I imagine him traveling in Cumbria. Then return via the north through Corbridge, Hexham, and Carlisle. I have gone along Hadrian's wall to Ruthwell cross and Bewcastle before so will resist temptation to revisit.
The main question is whether I can cram anything else into the day, given that my main interest is to spend a bit of time in Durham. One possible side trip east is to the coastal estates of Castle Eden and Easington, where I have placed Aldred's family. Or should I revisit Chester-le-Street?
Addendum: I just realized looking at my flight plan that I have FOUR days to explore Cumbria and environs! So now to think of another route….

Many motorcyclists believe that the general public is prejudiced against them, and often public opinion shows that people do believe that motorcyclists are reckless and thrill seeking. While it is true that some motorcyclists may fit that description some of the time, many motorcycle riders simply love the feeling of fresh air on their faces as they travel our nation's roads. Many motorcyclists follow all traffic laws, take safety precautions, and do not seek out trouble. These riders are still at risk of accidents because motorcycle accidents can happen to anyone. These accidents are often not the fault of the motorcyclist, but of the other drivers on road not paying attention or driving negligently. For this reason, even the safest motorcyclists should always be prepared and know what to do in case of an accident. They should also know that an experienced motorcycle accident attorney in Fayetteville can help them.
First and foremost, after a motorcycle accident, the motorcyclist and any riders should seek medical attention. Because of the lack of protection provided on a motorcycle, accidents almost always cause some type of injury. Motorcyclists should never try to play it cool or act tough by foregoing medical treatment. Getting proof of any and all possible injuries is imperative to recovering financially.
Next, you should contact a motorcycle accident attorney. A full investigation of the circumstances surrounding the accident is necessary to determine and prove fault. An attorney knows how to use the police accident report and other investigative tools, such as experts, to show fault on the part of the other driver.
Often, you should photograph any property damage on the motorcycle and/or helmet prior to getting them fixed. This can usually be compared to photographs taken prior to the damage to prove the damage was not preexisting.
These are the basic steps to take after a motorcycle accident. A motorcycle accident lawyer can help guide in any other actions you should take depending on the circumstances of your particular accident. Call the Law Offices of Shane Smith today at 770-487-8999 for help.

It is always nice to use something that is free, like social media marketing. Other marketing methods can destroy your company if they fail, but social media marketing is cheap and you can fix any mistakes. You will be able to use feedback from your target audience to adapt and improve your approach. By doing that and following this article, you'll notice a jump in traffic quickly.
Marketing companies specialized in social media are not always a good solution. Many of these types of companies are fraudulent and scam business owners that are inexperienced in Internet marketing. Thoroughly research any type of social media marketing company you are considering hiring to manage your campaign. No matter how much you pay the company, your ad may never be viewed by an actual person, even if it has a high view count.
Put a Facebook share button at the top of your blog posts. This enables visitors who read your content to immediately share it with their friends who might be interested. This will increase the number of visitors to you blog, which should in turn increase sales.
Update your social media site often. People who use social networks expect frequent updates. If you fail to provide them, your reputation can suffer and you may lose customers. Dedicate a few days out of the week for updates.
It takes time and patience to put together a social media marketing strategy. You won't get 10,000 followers in one day. Even though it has been known to happen in the past, the likeliness of you doing it is next to nothing. Practice patience until your page is successful.
When you've perfected your product, targeted a proper audience and started using proper media, publishing will become easier. Publishing amounts to posting your information on the right social media networks so that your customers and potential customers will be sure to see it. Then, all you have to do is sit back and watch your profits grow.

Johannesburg - Driver and pedestrian behaviour on Gauteng's roads is not changing for the better, causing the holiday season carnage to overtake that of 2016.
Community safety MEC Sizakele Nkosi-Malobane has revealed that fatalities on the province's roads have already jumped past the 203 recorded last year.
"We've exceeded last year's figures of the festive season," she said. "We're at a number we never expected."
Nkosi-Malobane would not reveal the precise number of deaths on the roads so far, saying that would be done by transport minister Joe Maswanganyi in January.
Maswanganyi will announce the number of fatalities recorded across all provinces. The figure stood at 1714 for the 2016 holiday season, which was a five percent increase compared to 2015. The country experiences a large number of fatalities over the Easter period too.
Peak traffic
With the festive season not yet over, Gauteng authorities fear that fatalities in the province could be much higher than in 2016. Thousands of motorists will drive back to the province in January.
According to Simon Zwane, spokesperson for the Road Traffic Management Corporation, traffic to Gauteng has started to peak.
"As we speak, there's a number of vehicles coming back to Gauteng," he said. "Already there's about 1200 vehicles an hour leaving KwaZulu-Natal for Gauteng."
Expressing her fears that road deaths could shoot up, Nkosi-Malobane said: "We still have New Year's Eve, New Year's Day and the first Sunday of the year. So we're worried. We don't want to lose any more lives. What we've already experienced now is enough."
'Please behave'
She decried the behaviour of both motorists and pedestrians.
"We've called this media briefing to say to our people: please behave," she said. "The main contributing factors to our fatalities are speed as well as drinking and driving - and to a certain extent, texting and driving.
"Our people don't have respect for rules of the road. We're also worried that many of the people involved in road fatalities or accidents are young people between the ages of 18 and 35."
Just this week, traffic officers arrested two 18-year-old girls for driving at almost 140km/h in 80km/h zones.
"If you drive like that you're applying for death," Nkosi-Malobane said. "We now know who are the culprits. The culprits are young men and women under the age of 35."
Pedestrian casualties
Chief director of Gauteng traffic police Stephen Podile said pedestrians made up half of the lives that had been lost in Gauteng, while Nkosi-Malobane said many of the pedestrians knocked down were drunk.
The Johannesburg, Ekurhuleni and Pretoria traffic police departments said their officers had done all within their power to reduce fatalities. More than 500 motorists have been arrested in Johannesburg for drunk driving since the holiday season started, they reported. Police have identified Sandton in particular as a hotspot for drunk driving, and have increased visibility.
Tshwane metro police chief Basil Nkhwashu said his officers had "targeted places of entertainment, especially Sunnyside", while Ekurhuleni metro police chief Goodman Mzolo said their operations around taverns and clubs had been useful.
"Our presence discourages drunk driving," he said.

There's sigarettes, a sparrow and me, and I don't even smoke. It's a rainy day and I stand on this busy busstation. Actually I don't want to leave, but somehow "I have to".
While the rain is pouring down, I drop my bag at a bench. The bench is not wet, but I refuse to sit down. Failure, is spinning in my head, failure. Everyone seems to be able to work something out, be good in something, and here I am – giant failure of the world.
I can't do my job, I'm too slow, it's too messy in my head. I'm good in researching, I know, but I can't put limits. Somehow things need to be black and white to understand, but I know it's impossible and I always find the exceptions. And I can't deal with them.
It's frustrating.
On social media, my eyes pick up signs. Of people who do better than me, of people who seem to fit better , for people who do meaningful things. Here I am, I think, trying to make things work, but failing all the time.
For the first time since my job started, I had a terrible day. Nothing worked out. I felt confused. I wasn't able to function like I should. I felt that I should give up on the job: I can't do it, it's too complicated for me, was all I thought for a while.
I didn't quit. I just drove home, and I guess I will start again tomorrow.
A brand new day. A brand new day for a nobody like me. Emptiness. Meaningless.
What's the point?
