Son of Heaven by David Wingrove
Son of Heaven is the first book in David Wingrove's new Chung Kuo series, and sets it around 2050 in a world, which has suffered a complete collapse back into a roughly pre-industrial society. This is a reworking of the eight-book Chung Kuo series published between 1989 and 1997, which is now being republished as eighteen shorter novels, with two new prequel novels, of which this is the first.
The action focuses on Jake, who before the Collapse was a 'dancer' on the stock market – looking for investment opportunities by being immersed in a virtual world. When the attack comes he escapes London and ends up bringing up his son in a rural village. Twenty years later, airships appear on the horizon. The Chinese are coming.
Overall I think this is a pretty solid but not particularly exciting example of post-apocalyptic fiction. I found the world pre-Collapse interesting, particularly the descriptions of the virtual stock market. I don't know whether Tron was an influence but that is how I image the immersion of Jake in the datascape. Companies form what I imagined as a terrain of crystalline structures, all different shapes and with different feels and smells depending upon their health. Then the attacks begin and companies are obliterated from the market, leaving putrid devastation. The market then collapses and technology begins to crumble, breaking down the barriers between the privileged city dwellers and those who live outside the walls in slums. After the collapse it's every man and woman for themselves, and even twenty years later, gangs and groups of refugees still roam England, meaning that communities have to remain on guard.
My problem is though is that I just don't buy it. Jake is living in a small village community in the English county of Dorset. If the whole world has collapsed into madness, even twenty years later why on earth would an invading force turn up in its airships and start rounding up people in rural south west England? It comes across as though the author loves the place and wanted to get it into a novel, which is the same with the references to Philip K Dick and Jimi Hendrix, which I also wouldn't be surprised if the author was partial to. Also, a lot of the characters just really get on my nerves. Jake comes across at the beginning as a stereotypical banker, running about in his high-flying job so fair enough, but he talks to his girlfriend / fiancée like she's about twelve. The entire world is going to pot and he doesn't want to worry her pretty little head about it. It really wound me up. Also, he escapes and comes across this little Dorset village and they give him some sort of trial before accepting him into the community. There would have been a hell of a lot of refugees running away from the cities, was every person who wandered past given a trial as well? I'm going to leave it there but a mix of implausible situations and reactions from people just made me care very little when the invasion started.
I haven't read the original series so maybe people who have would get more out of this, but unfortunately this doesn't make me want to read the next nineteen books.

Technology Center Helps Vets Transition
By Samantha L. Quigley
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7, 2007 - Transitioning from military to civilian life can be daunting for some, but one group is helping to streamline the process.
Fast Forward Community Technology Center, in Columbia, S.C., provides access to technology and technology education to people who might otherwise have access. Recently, however, the group has created a program to provide veterans with tools necessary to successfully transition into civilian employment.
"The main effort of the 'Homefront Readiness' program is to help military veterans find good, secure jobs within the civilian sector," said Becca Smith, the program's director.
Veterans meet with Smith to decide on a course of action, which can include anything from getting help with technology and job skills to networking. She can help them create or edit a resume or find military-friendly employers in the area.
"We have been incredibly successful thus far," Smith said. "Currently, 69 veterans are enrolled in the program, and 16 have secured civilian jobs."
She said more than half of veterans participating in Homefront Readiness have increased their technology skills. "I believe it's the personalized attention and individualized plan that makes our program different and that helps veterans achieve success in the civilian sector," she said.
Homefront Readiness recently became a supporter of America Supports You, a Defense Department program connecting citizens and corporations with military personnel and their families serving at home and abroad.
"I'm excited about the networking aspect of being on the (America Support You) Web site," Smith said. "We are actively looking for funding and support to help us keep the programs running."
Homefront Readiness, which began in January, is funded through a grant by the South Carolina Department of Commerce, Smith said. That grant will expire in January 2009.

West Toronto Eyecare provides comprehensive eye care for all eye conditions, for all ages, utilizing state-of-the-art equipment.
Our experienced optometrists and ophthalmic technicians provide you with a thorough and customized eye examination and our ophthalmologists provide comprehensive treatments and surgeries for patients with complex, eye conditions.
We have a full staff of qualified ophthalmic technicians, optometrists and ophthalmologists so that we can offer comprehensive ocular care. We can screen, diagnose and treat medically and surgically most ocular conditions.
Appointments for healthy eye exams and screenings for common eye conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, diabetes, dry eye and macular degeneration can be made with one of our experienced optometrists without a referral by calling the office.
If you have an existing eye condition that needs medical treatment or surgery, your optometrist or medical doctor can refer you for treatment with one of our ophthalmologists.
A corneal topographer is a diagnostic instrument that creates a three-dimensional map of the surface curvature of the cornea ( the front clear surface of the eye). A normal eye has a smooth rounded cornea and normal vision. Some corneas can be too flat, too steep or be unevenly curved resulting in problems with vision.
Corneal topography measures the cornea and produces an analysis of the shape and power of the corneal surface. These measurements are important to diagnose, monitor and treat various corneal conditions such as corneal scarring or corneal deformations, like keratoconus and pellucid marginal degeneration. The measurements are also important in evaluating astigmatism when planning cataract surgery and laser vision correction. The analysis is also used to determine how curved or flat the cornea is, when fitting contact lenses.
The test is non-contact and painless. The corneal topographer projects a series of illuminated rings onto the cornea. The rings are reflected back to the instrument, where they are analyzed and a detailed coloured topographical map of the front surface of the eye is generated. This map is similar to a topographic land map that uses different colours to denote mountains and valleys.
The test is covered by OHIP for some but not all ocular conditions. Our doctors will discuss with you whether this test is indicated for your eye.
Contact lenses are a great option for many patients. At West Toronto Eye Care, Dr. Toomsalu, Dr. Parasram and their teams keep up to date with the latest contact lens technology, to ensure you get the best fit, with the right contact lens design and material to meet your visual needs. We fit all types of contact lenses. We specialize in patients that are hard to fit or need a specialty lenses so that they can see and feel their best.
Our personalized examination and one on one teaching makes it easy to succeed with your new contact lenses.
We offer customized corneal curvature measurements, a new refraction to determine your most up to date prescription and then a personalized fitting of the contact lenses. We send you home with a trial pair of contact lenses that are recommended by our doctors. To ensure successful wear we will book you with our contact lens teacher for a one-on-one consultation to show you how to wear and care for your contact lenses. We will provide you with ongoing eye health care and easy contact lens reordering on line or by phone.
The Heidelberg Retinal Tomograph III (HRT III) is used in the early detection and follow-up of glaucoma. The HRT III is a laser that can precisely measure and analyze the shape of your optic nerve. It is not a treatment laser and is not harmful to the eye. Repeated measurements of the optic nerve with the HRT III can often detect glaucoma damage earlier than other tests, such as visual field testing.
The test is painless and takes only minutes to complete. Dilating drops are usually not required. You must look steadily at a small fixating light for approximately 10-15 seconds while the 3-dimensional photograph of your optic nerve is being taken. A computer compares the shape of your optic nerve to normal patient data and analyses changes in your optic nerve over time.
The Heidelberg Retinal Tomography III is an excellent addition to our diagnostic tools in glaucoma management. It is used in combination with intra-ocular pressure measurement, visual field testing optical coherence tomography (OCT) and regular eye examination to better manage your glaucoma.
The cost of this examination is not covered by OHIP, but is covered by many insurance plans. Yearly tests are recommended for glaucoma patients. More frequent examinations may be recommended if your glaucoma is aggressive or progressing.
The Zeiss IOL Master is a precise, non-contact instrument, which provides the most accurate eye measurements possible to ensure successful results after cataract surgery.
Every eye is unique which makes it important to determine the exact style and strength of the intraocular lens to implant during surgery. The IOL Master uses laser light to quickly and accurately measure the eye and to provide the physician with information such as: the length of the eye, the curvature of the corneal surface and anterior chamber depth. These measurements make it possible to choose the most appropriate lens for each patient.
The Zeiss IOL master has proven to be five times more accurate than traditional technologies such as ultrasound. Although, the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) does not cover IOL master examinations, we have purchased the technology for our patients and offer it to those who wish to have the test done. You can speak to our staff if you are interested. Some private insurance coverage will reimburse for the cost of the test.
Laser vision correction is proven to be an excellent way to correct some vision conditions. If you are interested in reducing your dependence on your glasses or contact lenses we can help to independently determine if you are a good candidate for laser vision correction. A complete pre-laser assessment can be provided to your laser centre. All post-operative follow up visits can be conveniently booked at our office. Dr. Bujak also performs most types of laser surgery if interested you can book an appointment without a referral.
OCT is a laser imaging technique developed to provide accurate and reproducible cross-sectional measurements of the retina. The OCT allows your doctor to see the internal structures within the eye. It utilizes high definition imaging to "see" below the surface, allowing your doctor to examine all the retinal layers which could not be imaged previously. In addition, software within the machine compares tests over time. This allows your doctor to accurately monitor improvement or progression of a disease process.
The OCT helps provide definitive diagnostic information for a comprehensive range of retinal pathology such as: detached retina, macular holes, age related macular degeneration (AMD), cystoid macular edema and diabetic retinopathy. In glaucoma the test can be used in patients with an established diagnosis to detect progression over time, which indicates uncontrolled disease and possible need for therapy advancement. For patients suspected of having the disease, the test can be used to confirm the diagnosis.
The OCT is not a treatment laser and is not harmful to the eye. It operates similar to ultrasound, except light is used instead of acoustic waves. The instrument is non invasive and takes justs minutes to complete. The test is performed at your doctor's office. Patients simply look at a target light for several seconds while the image is being taken there is no pain and drops are usually not required.
OHIP covers the cost of an OCT. (OHIP limits the number of tests per year which are covered).
At West Toronto Eye Care we know that good vision is important to your child's development and their ability to learn. Routine childhood eye examinations can provide early detection and treatment of vision conditions that left untreated have the potential to cause permanent loss of vision. It is estimated that 17-25 percent of school age children have vision problems.
The American optometric association recommends that children have their eyes examined at 6 months of age, at 3 years of age, prior to starting school and then every 1-2 years. Some children who considered at risk for the development of eye problems need additional testing and more frequent examinations.
The team at West Toronto Eye Care is patient and thorough when examining your child's eye. In addition to checking for vision problems such as near sightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism, our optometrists will examine your child for other problems such as strabismus, amblyopia (lazy eye), childhood cataracts and other ocular diseases. A paediatric eye examination can be booked with our optometrists. It is best to book the examination at a time of day that your child is alert and content.
Punctal plugs are small devices that are inserted into the tear ducts to block drainage of tears. The purpose is to increase the amount of tears on the surface of the eye in patients suffering from dry eye. They are used when other treatments such as artificial teardrops fail to relieve the symptoms of dry eye.
There are two types of plugs:
Dissolvable, made from collagen. The collagen plug is absorbed by the body and can last from a few days to a few months. This type can be used after laser vision correction to treat dry eye associated with the procedure.
Semi-permanent, made from silicone, acrylic or hydrogel. This type is more commonly used for chronic dry eye. This type of plug can be left in the eye indefinitely.
Insertion of the Plugs
Each eyelid has one small opening to drain tears, this opening is called the punctum and is
located close to the nose on the margin of each lid. Punctal plugs can be inserted in the lower lid or both the upper and lower lids.
Usually the plugs can be inserted right in the office. A small drop of local anaesthetic will be instilled in the eye. An instrument may be used to dilate the punctum for easier insertion. Most punctual plugs are pre-packaged with a disposable inserter that makes the procedure quick and painless.
Side Effects of Punctal Plugs
Usually, the plugs work well and there are no serious side effects from the insertion of punctual plugs. Occasionally there can be excessive tearing after the plug is in place, if the amount of tears in the eye is too great for the blocked tear opening. If this occurs you may need to see your doctor and have the plug removed. Displacement or loss of the plug can occur. This occurs from rubbing the eye or scratching the eyelid. Other less common side effects are eye infections. Usually the infections are mild and can be treated with antibiotics and/or removal of the plug. The plugs occasionally may migrate deeper into the tear system resulting in a blockage and infection.
The visual field test is a machine that measures the total area that can be seen (central, side, up and down vision) while your eyes are focused on a target straight ahead. The machine tests the sensitivity of multiple areas of the retina and plots them on a map that can be interpreted by your doctor to determine if there are any abnormal areas or blind spots in your overall vision.
Visual field testing may be offered as part of your examination. It is an important test that can be used to detect and follow patients with glaucoma. Visual field testing can also be helpful for the detection loss of vision due to retinal disease, optic nerve disease, diseases in the brain that affect the visual pathways and drooping eyelids.
In glaucoma, the test will be repeated every three to twelve months depending on the severity of the disease. Any worsening in the visual field indicates progression in the disease and indicate that a change in therapy may be needed.
The test is subjective and requires a patient to fixate on a central target and press a button each time he/she sees a light stimulus presented in a large bowl. Usually each eye is tested separately while the other eye is patched. For healthy subjects the test takes a few minutes per eye. For patients with poor vision the test can be longer and more tedious. For patients at West Toronto Eye Care the test is usually covered by OHIP.
Do you think you need glasses or need an update in your current glasses prescription? You can call and book an appointment with one of our optometrists without a referral. At West Toronto Eye Care we have the most up to date equipment and loads of experience to ensure that the glasses we prescribe will give you the best vision possible. We prescribe all types of prescriptions including glasses for distance, reading, computers, progressive glasses and prescription sunglasses. In addition we will do a complete eye examination at the time of your appointment to be sure your eyes see their best and are healthy too.
Call 416-760-8777 or email for an appointment. Some patients will not be covered under OHIP for this examination. Our staff can help you to determine if you are covered.

I immigrated from Cebu when I was two and slowly lost my identity as a Filipino as I grew up. I saw myself as an American who happened to have Filipino roots, not as a Filipino who happened to live in the States. After getting to visit the Philippines as a teen and grown-up, the shift in how I identify who I am has become more balanced. This became even more so after I became a mom and wanted to have more to pass on to my daughter than our Filipino food. It was during this seeking that I came across baybayin and a passion and my business, Philippine Script Designs (www.philippinescript.com) was born.

What I find interesting is baybayin seems embraced more by Stateside Filipinos. This may be a misconception on my part but I know that when I talk to native Filipinos about this script it's met with skepticism. They'd never heard of baybayin until coming to the States!

Through my business,however, it has been my pleasure to share this aspect of our history and come across other Filipinos who connect to this writing system. They desire to show it in a tangible way. Based on my jewelry business, I think what makes baybayin such a significant expression is that it's a way to express who the individual is (through words, phrases, Biblical verse and names), as well as the history of our culture. It's exciting to see how people are doing this through their clothing, jewelry and tattoos.PhilippineScripthttps://email@example.com

The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority has unveiled a new, free mobile payment app called EZfare.
The app, available for both Android and iPhone, allows transit riders to purchase single rides, day passes and express passes.
Single ride fares that are purchased on the app are valid for two hours and include free transfers on buses and VTA's light-rail system.
If any part of a rider's two-hour trip includes an express bus, express bus fare will be required.
On their website, VTA officials use Levi's Stadium event fare as an example of a ticket that can be purchased. They emphasize the importance of checking the app prior to travel since ticket options do vary by event.
Any purchases will be saved in the app history so that riders can access stored, active and expired tickets at any time.
Rider history can also be accessed on other smart devices using the account created with the app and a function called "Retrieve My Tickets." Riders can view current pricing for cash or prepaid fares at www.vta.org/getting-around/fares.

Junebug Jamboree
Life on the Ponderosa has been mostly quiet until Saturday morning. As we were doing some chores in our garden we looked across the yard and saw 87 million June bugs flying around. Seriously, they were coming out of the ground in swarms! If you walked around in them you got hit. I tried to make a video, but it does not really show how many there were. I have never seen anything like it! They were in our lower front lawn and around the hay field, but they stayed in that area and did not come close to the house or garden. My video will not post so, here's a picture!

Why Do Websites Show Me Homes I Can't Buy?
You're cruising the Wild Wild Internet looking for homes to buy and you keep finding a trend. There's a home for sale, but it's not REALLY for sale! Or it is kind of for sale. Or it's already under contract.
Frustrating isn't it? And the answer to WHY is actually complicated. Some of those homes are "accidental" and some are "on purpose". It might be a simple as a time lag in how often websites update. Some update within hours, others days.
Syndicating websites (think Zillow, Trulia, etc.) gather homes for sale from different sources. The bulk of those come from various MLS, but other websites might bring in feeds too. What happens if something goes wrong with the updating? Either because the original website isn't updated properly or because the communications between sites goes sideways? You guessed it, inaccurate data. Homes that are LISTED FOR SALE may have sold months (or even years ago), or the sellers may have quite trying to sell. Either way, you see a home for sale that isn't.
Another category that leads to confusion is whether a website is fed PENDING (homes under contract) homes. For instance one of our two local MLS feeds PENDING status homes to Realtor.com and the other doesn't. Once a home goes under contract the one MLS stops sending it to Realtor.com, but the other doesn't.
Another factor? One MLS a home is either ACTIVE, PENDING, or SOLD (or off market). The other? ACTIVE, ACTIVE/PENDING, PENDING, or SOLD. Notice that ACTIVE/PENDING status? That throws another wrinkle in. What's ACTIVE/PENDING mean? It means the home is under contract BUT there's a condition/contingency that needs to be met to complete the sale. It might mean the bank has to approve a short sale, or the buyer needs to sell their home to buy this home. Once the condition is met, the home is changed to PENDING. So these homes MIGHT offer a chance for you to buy them, but depending on the contract terms you may not have a real chance to buy it.
And as for our own personal website with full Cincinnati MLS search capability, we've set up our search engine to show PENDING homes. Why? Because people that are looking for homes may be driving the neighborhoods and seeing For Sale signs in the yard and wondering why they DON'T find all the homes on our site. If the home is PENDING, you'll still have the sign in the yard, but you might think we're hiding a home from you if we didn't make that choice. Now if you look at the homes on our website, you'll see them labeled ACTIVE or PENDING. It's not the world's biggest type (sorry, that's preset from our provider so we can't change the size), but the distinction is there.
If you call us to see a PENDING home, we'll let you know it's under contract. From there, we can still go see the home (assuming the seller is open to further showings). But typically the first step we'll take is to contact the listing agent and find out if there are any contract terms that would allow you to become #1 and not merely a back up offer for the home.

MIAMI COUNTY — The Miami County Board of Commissioners approved the installation of two wells for the Miami County Incinerator site during their meeting on Tuesday morning.
The commissioners approved awarding the installation of two wells to Danis Builders, LLC of Miamisburg, with a guaranteed maximum price of $250,592. The commissioners also approved executing and signing the design-builders agreement with Danis Builders, which will also serve as the notice to proceed for the project.
"We discussed this item for a long time," Miami County Engineer Paul Huelskamp said.
When asked when the project will begin, Huelskamp said that Danis Builders was hesitant to provide a start date without a contract.
"It will be as soon as possible," Huelskamp said, advising that the project will include several months of design work for the wells.
The commissioners approved another improvement project, which will be the replacement of chiller pipes and associated valves at the Department of Job and Family Services. They approved a quote from Waibel Energy Systems of Vandalia, and the cost is not to exceed $24,633.The project will include replacing the chiller pipes and associate valves from the chiller wall entry to the air handler system along with the insulation around the pipes at Job and Family Services.
Also during their meeting, the commissioners approved a number new computer and software purchases, including authorizing the Miami County Board of Elections to purchase a Questions and Issues Module from TRIAD Governmental Systems, Inc. The cost is not to exceed $4,000. The module will track the questions and issues due to be on ballots based on their expiration year. It will also store the images of all the pages of an issue filing for later reviewing, group issue filings for examination, track required filings, and more. No other quotes were sought as this is a sole source purchase, Williams said.
The commissioners also authorized Huelskamp to develop and administer permits in 2019, including the installation and placement of public utilities within the dedicated public right-of-ways of all county maintained highways, digging, and excavating on or along a county maintained highway, placement of private driveway approaches to a county-maintained highway, and oversized and overweight vehicles using county maintained highways.
Later, the commissioners authorized and signed the Housing Revolving Loan Fund Administration Agreement with the state of Ohio, Development Services Agency, as requested by the Department of Development. That agreement is required of CDBG and HOME grantees. The commissioners have generated program income through its CDBG and HOME-funded Community Housing Impact and Preservation Program (CHIP) activities and has maintained an accounting of its program income, Williams said.
The commissioners also authorized filling the vacant positions of an HVAC and controls technician under the Facilities and Operations Department and an eligibility referral specialist at the Department of Job and Family Services.
The commissioners also authorized the electronic execution of a grant contract. They acknowledged receipt of a 2019 Urban Transit Program through the Ohio Department of Transportation award in the amount of $40,855 on behalf of the Miami County Transit Department and authorized President of the Board John O'Brien, to sign the 2019 Urban Transit Project grant contract.
The commissioners then authorized and signed a participation agreement regarding energy purchasing programs of the CCAO Service Corporation. This is for the provision of participating in a join purchasing program to secure competitively priced energy supplies through various energy purchasing programs.

She's been out of the spotlight on purpose for the past few months. Only a couple of days ago, Taylor Swift was finally photographed exiting her childhood home after Mother's Day. So where could she have been? Such a high profile star is bound to be found anywhere in the continental US. Was she in hiding? Was she camping out at the studio, working on her new album? Where was Taylor Swift? Well, according to reports she has been away across the pond in the United Kingdom, spending quality time with her new boyfriend.
If reports are to be believed, then Tay Tay has been secretly dating British actor, Joe Alwyn. And they have been seeing each other for over six months now! Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton tweeted a photograph of Taylor Swift going to watch her beau's film Long Halftime Walk back in November 2016.
It's a big change for the Bad Blood singer, who has always dated men who are well known faces in Hollywood. Her relationships have been the subject of tabloids when they were still in their fledgling state, giving Taylor absolutely no privacy or space to let those relationships blossom. A prime example is when she went on her first date with Harry Styles, and were photographed taking a walk in New York City. By her dating someone who is relatively unknown to Hollywood, and lives a private life in the UK, she had ample of time to make something of this relationship.
Joe Alwyn is just 26 years old, a big difference to her last two boyfriends – DJ Calvin Harris and Tom Hiddleston, who are in their 30s. Alwyn's most recent film has been with Kristen Stewart and Vin Diesel in Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk. He is also starring in upcoming film Keepers and another one, The Favourite that stars Oscar winner Emma Stone.
Looks like after a number of failed public relationships, Taylor Swift has learnt her lesson and is keeping this one under wraps and well away from the prying paparazzi.

Your elderly family member's cardiovascular system includes her heart and all the blood vessels that carry blood to and from her heart. If she's prone to problems with her cardiovascular system, your elderly family member needs to take some action now to stay healthy.
Make Cholesterol Checks a Regular Part of Her Doctor's Visits
A major component of cardiovascular health is your aging family member's cholesterol counts. Talk to her doctor and determine how often her levels should be checked. It's also a good idea for you to learn as much as you can about cholesterol and what the different levels and numbers mean for your senior's health. What your elderly family member eats and exercise are two important factors for controlling cholesterol levels.
Have Her Blood Pressure Checked Regularly
Blood pressure can also tell you a lot about your aging family member's cardiovascular health. Talk to your elderly family member's doctor about how you can help to manage your senior's blood pressure. If her blood pressure is normally rather high, her doctor may recommend medication to bring it down to more manageable levels. From there, exercise and diet can keep it in check.
Does She Smoke?
If your aging family member is a smoker, that can be bad news in terms of her cardiovascular health. Cutting back just a little bit may not seem like much, particularly if you want her to quit for good, but it can make a tiny bit of difference to her health. Work with your aging family member's doctor to find a solution that works.
Include Exercise in Her Plan
Exercise is essential for cardiovascular health. The main reason is that it gets the blood flowing throughout your elderly family member's body and helps to build her stamina. It also helps to improve lung function, which is especially important if she's a smoker. Before you kick off any exercise plans, however, make sure that you talk with her doctor and ensure that it's safe for your elderly family member to begin exercising regularly.
Hiring home care providers to help can give your elderly family member the edge that she needs with meal preparation and other important aspects of her plan.
If You Or An Aging Loved One Are Considering Hiring Home Care in Seminole, FL, Please Contact The Caring Staff At Assisting Hands Home Care Today! 727-748-4211.

This announcement from Intel and Cisco could be good for wireless networking security, although at the moment it does seem a touch light on detail. Of course the worry I'd have with this kind of partnership is that the parties might choose to keep their enhancements proprietary, which would not be a good thing…!
I like NAC as an idea, but I've not seen any large deployments of it yet, so I'm unsure as to whether it would be a manageable/scalable solution.

When: Thursday, May 18, 1972
Where: Kongressaal, Munich, West Germany
|Easily my favorite release logo!
- Truckin', Sugaree, Mr. Charlie, Jack Straw, Tennessee Jed, Chinatown Shuffle, Black-Throated Wind, China Cat Sunflower > I Know You Rider, El Paso, Hurts Me Too, You Win Again, Playing In The Band, Good Lovin', Casey Jones
- Sitting On Top Of The World > Me & My Uncle, Ramble On Rose, Beat It On Down The Line, Dark Star > Morning Dew > Drums > Sugar Magnolia, Sing Me Back Home E: One More Saturday Night
This show gets off to a hot start, with a "Truckin'" that sounds like it could be out of the fat part of the second set. The jamming is energetic and relentless, right up until they approach the ten-minute mark, and then it fizzles out quickly, almost as if they realize this is the first song of the show!! They finish the round through the vocalists with strong versions of "Sugaree" and "Mr. Charlie," the latter being one of my favorite versions of one of the most ubiquitous songs of the tour. The "China" > "Rider" is everything we would expect at this point in the tour, and I could listen to this version all day long!
The set really takes off towards the end with yet another deeply jammed "Playin'." Nothing out of the ordinary for the tour, and it picks up just where the "Truckin'" left off. They follow with another stellar "Good Lovin'," and it's clear this is a special night. The jamming is fast and tight, and Billy's drumming seems to push Jerry further and faster. Keith provides superb fills, and - oh, yeah!! - Pigpen is on top of his game. He lets the band jam to their hearts' content, but when he steps up every person in this hall snaps to attention, including the ones on stage. Get it while you can, everyone!!
The second set opens with an extremely rare version of "Sitting on Top of the World." It's great to hear Jerry circa 1972 belt this one out, with a bit more twang than the earliest versions and the same clear voice. As with "Promised Land" the other night, you can tell it's not a regular in the rotation, but the change of pace is noteworthy and welcome. They try to jump right into "Me & My Uncle," and Phil provides just the right energy, but they stumble on entry. Oh well, still an energetic version. The other shorter songs are excellent, as well, so check out "Worth mentioning" below.
|Shredding!! (And re-treading)
Out of the deepest depths of "Dark Star" space emerges that familiar ballad of nuclear winter, "Morning Dew." Already primed from their foray through the outer atmosphere (and beyond), the Dead make the most of this one!! Jerry milks the quite moments for every bit of emotion, then casts a clear note into the air before invoking spine-tingling crescendo. This combination - "Dark Star" > "Morning Dew" - captures a timeless, emotional adventurism that moved the Dead in their most inspired performances. After a jam like that, we need a rockin' booty-shaker so bad we can excuse Bobby completely flubbing an early lyric on "Sugar Magnolia." Apparently, Jerry isn't satisfied with the tone of the closing tune, so he rocks another death song - this time "Sing Me Back Home" - to bring the psychedelic life cycle (and the set) to a close.
Worth mentioning:
- The entire first set is exceptional. Don't skip any of it!!
- I keep marveling at Jerry's slide work on "Hurts Me Too," very fun!
- I rarely draw attention to a performance of "Casey Jones" on this tour, but this one is excellent.
- What a stellar version of "Ramble on Rose." I cannot believe my ears!!
- "BIODTL" rages from start to finish!!
- This is a very slow and moving version of "Sing Me Back Home," featuring at times near-silent harmonies from Bobby and Donna that rage towards the end.
Song of the Day: "Dark Star""Dark Star" is probably the Grateful Dead's quintessential jam vehicle. It's sparse lyrics and malleable theme provide just enough structure to provide points of reference without in any way restraining the band's improvisational prowess. I remember reading somewhere that Phil Lesh believed the transcendent and trippy lyrics were the inspiration for jams that came to typify the song, but Garcia (who sang the lyrics) dismissed the notion as coincidence. Just goes to show, perception is reality, right? If you've been reading my posts with any frequency, you've come to know that I love the jams this song spawns, and they leave all structure, melody, and rhythm behind, venturing into deep space. Others are energetic, with bass and guitar in intertwining counterpoint continually driven further by the rhythmic fills from drums, guitar, and piano. They are all quite long (15 minutes would be considered very short) and spill into another song, as the jam defies the resolution of a final cadence.
As we learn in the annotations, Phil Lesh and David Gans convinced the band to allow Plunderphonics mastermind John Oswald (who needed convincing himself) to re-create an epic "Dark Star" from the versions in their own vault of live recordings. The result is nearly two hours of "Dark Star" jams manipulated digitally so there are layers upon layers of sound, blending the Dead from different ears into one magnificent, orchestrated, time-travelling musical experience. While not classically the Dead, this is one of the most remarkable pieces of psychedelic music ever created. I strongly recommend the album, called Greyfolded. This website says it's out of print but downloadable. I recommend tracking down the print version, if only for the 16,000-word essay (and you thought I was verbose!) and the fully referenced sonic maps of each disc. You can read much, much more here. Truly amazing!
In Box of Rain, Robert Hunter says this was the first lyric he wrote actually with the band** It's succinct and dripping with lysergic innuendo. When asked to talk about it one time, Jerry responded, "I can't. It talks about itself." There isn't much to explain, but clearly the title is a contradiction, placing it solidly among many other references both scientific and artistic (see the printed annotations for an exhaustive explanation). Also, you will find a reference to the existentialist poem The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T.S. Elliot. Here are the complete lyrics:
Dark star crashes, pouring its light into ashes
Reason tatters, the forces tear loose from the axis
Searchlight casting, for faults in in the clouds of illusion
Shall we go, you and I while we can
Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds
Mirror shatters, in formless reflections of matter
Glass hand dissovling, to ice-petal flowers revolving
Lady in velvet, recedes in the nights of goodbye
Shall we go, you and I while we canThere is also another verse that appeared on Long Strange Trip, read by Hunter himself:
Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds
Spinning a set the stars through which the tattered tales of axis rollNow that we're clear on that, the magical truths of life and the universe unfold before us.
About the waxen wind of never set to motion in the unbecoming
Round about the reason hardly matters nor the wise through which
The stars were set to spin.
NOTE: Towards the end of the annotations linked to above, quintessential beer enthusiast and historian, the late Michael Jackson (not that one), noted an English dark old ale called Dark Star that was voted Champion Beer at the 1987 Great British Beer Festival. I can't tell if the brewery is Pittfield or The Beer Shop, but either way it's almost worth a trip to London to find it!!
Living With the Dead: Cashing In, Gatekeeping, & the Legacy of Jerry Garcia
The book contains a significant segment from Scully's "road diary" on the '72 tour of Europe. No one disputes that he was there, playing a critical role as German-speaking co-manager, and I have no reason to doubt most of the brief tales he tells of the tour. In particular, he notes:
- Flat audience response from the Wembley shows. He implies the Dead's sophistication is out of the league of the London audience, a judgement that I am wary of on the surface. The hall was clearly too big for the show and probably led to acoustical complications.
- The stellar performance from Newcastle is lost on him; all he remembers is the boomy, concrete venue.
- Fights in Copenhagen, particularly surrounding crew members who picked them.
- The Aarhus show fell on Fasching, the Scandanavian Halloween. Fun, fun, fun!!
- After an off day in Sweden, the return trip to Denmark featured a close call with customs officials and a bus driver convinced he wouldn't see his children until they were grown.
- Phil flipping out in Dusseldorf over the Nazi history, and the show - again - being lost on the stoic crowd. However, Karlheinz Stockhausen brought a gaggle of students, who were (according to Scully) the only ones who knew what was going on. musically
- He describes the Olympia Theatre in Paris being "just like the Fillmore East; if anything, a bit more funky. A tradition-riddled place.... Hallowed ground, but with insufficient electricity." Also from Paris, the classic story where they show up to the Le Grand Hotel with the staff expecting a 37-piece orchestra. Surprise!! The psychedelic circus has arrived from America!
- In Amsterdam, Pigpen gives the house organ a whirl, the one built in 1640 and played by J.S. Back. As a thank-you, the gaffer's tape strips the gold leaf from just about every surface, and the band has to reimburse the hall as much as a quarter-million dollars. Ouch!!
- The crew convinces the Radio Luxembourg techs to go full power for the show, and Bob Mathews calculates it's the strongest broadcast in world history, covering half the globe. The Deadheads in England may disagree....
However, I believe that much of the controversy around Scully's book from within the Family may also be attributed to the survivors following the death of their patriarch, Jerry Garcia. It was Scully who turned Garcia onto smokeable Persian heroin that offered a brief, brilliant period in 1977 but ultimately lead to his decline and death. Scully was dismissed from the band's staff in large part because of this, and so soon after his death, I'm sure many in the Family held a grudge. The book is clearly self-serving and riding the wave of publicity following the death of an icon, particularly in light of Scully falling out of favor with the business end of the band.
In addition, I'm sure there was a fair amount of gate-keeping involved in the reaction: Everyone involved knew of Jerry's addiction but depended on his continued performances for their livelihood. But this was an internal secret, one never spoken of publicly, let along PUBLISHED!! For someone who was once inside the circle to break that code of silence at a time when Garcia's legacy was being set in stone was an affront to the Family - all the members of that Family who relied on Garcia and his legacy for their jobs and the financial well-being of their families.
In the end, I have no reason to doubt much of the stories in Scully's book, though some of the internal logic doesn't stand up to scrutiny. However, he's an admitted recovering junkie, so who am I to question his rational processes? Memories get scrambled for all of us, and very few have had the kind of psychotropic adventures that Scully has had. Nonetheless, the book is entertaining as hell, and Dalton does a fantastic job of transforming Scully's colorful memories into fascinating prose. It's worth a read, but I recommend you do so with a healthy dose of skepticism and enjoy the ride!
PS (Pairing Suggestion):Inspired by "Dark Star," the featured beer for this show has got to be something adventurous and, of course, dark! In the past several years, a new American beer style has begun to emerge, blending the floral, citrusy, bitter goodness of an American IPA and the dark color of a porter or stout. Some here in the Northeast claim the style originated in Vermont, but I believe brewers in the Pacific Northwest first pioneered the style.****
This style is still in its adolescence (no official BJCP style category, generally entered into competitions under specialty category) and evolving into its own. Therefore, I will describe essentially what I see as the best characteristics, at least to my tastes. Under no circumstances should this ale cut back on the hops at all. In that respect, it's everything an IPA is - bitter, floral, fresh, and flavorful. It's important that the beer has some substantial body to it, as well; none of those skimpy APAs-as-IPAs could qualify. The controversy is just how much body, roast, and color is enough and how much is too much.
To me, the best examples play contradictory expectations against one another. You order your Cascadian dark ale (or black IPA/American black ale) at the bar, and in a clear glass you're delivered a dark-as-night beer capped with a white (or possibly light tan) head. The point of reference is towards a stout or a porter (or a schwarzbier) that highlights roasty aromas and flavors like chocolate, coffee, or even dark fruits. As you raise the glass to your lips, however, your nose is assaulted by the unexpected resinous, piney, citrusy, and tropical aromas of the best and freshest of American hops!! Immediately your mind is in contortions as you take another whiff before diving in for your first taste. At first, you don't know what to expect - roasty malts or flavorful, bitter hops - but you're greeted with no roast and tons of hops!! Moderate maltiness will provide balance for a hefty hop bill (slanted towards late additions for extra flavor and aroma), but it will seem surprisingly light because of the expectation from a black beer.
To me, roasty versions of a Cascadian dark ale are too close to an American porter, and the dark flavors distract from the hop focus of this style. That being said, there are plenty of roasty versions out there, but I'll personally take a pass on those. The next question is the color, as the black color commonly comes from roasted malts that impart a lot of that flavor. Personally, I'd rather have a dark brown or garnet colored example that finishes clean than a black version with a much noticeable roast. The answer? The new(-ish) midnight wheat malt from Breiss, a unionized malster in Minnesota that supplies an exceptional portion of the grain that fuels the American craft beer industry. I'm not sure how they do it,***** but the result is color and some fermentables without the roast, leaving behind a clean, black beer-canvass for brewers to create masterpieces upon!!
And what masterpieces they are!
- My absolute favorite that is the benchmark for the style (at least in my book) is Stone's Sublimely Self-Righteous ale. If you're only going to try one, this is it!!
- Not as black, but Yakima Glory (sometimes Yakima Twilight) from Victory is an apt tribute to the valley that provides American craft brewers most of their hops.
- From Heavy Seas in Baltimore we get an excellent example in Loose Cannon.
- Deschutes' version is called Hop in the Dark, for those out west.
- From 21st Amendment, check out the Back in Black, though I can say it's best fresh. Sometimes their cans can taste a bit off, at least to my palate.
- I haven't had the pleasure of sampling this one yet, but I recently read a review of the Dubhe, an imperial version from Uinta Brewing in Utah. Not sure if I read it right, but I believe they added toasted hemp seeds to this one, too. This is a truly epic brew honoring the State of Utah finally lifting the ABV limit for beers produced and/or sold within the state!
As for pairings, anything that goes with an American IPA will work well. I recommend some spicy Thai food (pad Thai or my favorite - massaman curry) or Indian food.
** I believe there were a few lyrics like "China Cat," "St. Stephen," and "Alligator" that he wrote separately and mailed to the band before he officially "joined" them.
*** Please excuse the lack of references, but I'm short on time. Most of the arguments for or against are fairly well documented elsewhere, but I just don't have the time to review the sources in detail. My apologies.
**** While it is commonly called a black IPA or an American black ale, I prefer to give a nod to is PNW roots and call it a Cascadian dark ale. Besides, how can an India ale be both black and pale? Nonetheless, the region rightfully doesn't have a monopoly on the style, so American black ale is probably the best name. I'm still partial to Cascadian dark ale, so live with it!!
***** If I had to guess, I think they would malt the wheat kernels like they usually do, then roast them at high temperatures for a considerable period of time. Before packaging them, though, they would remove most of the roasty husks, leaving the black color, a bit of fermentables, and next to no roast. From their website, it looks like they planned on this malt being used in schwarzbiers, but to me it's the perfect malt for a perfect Cascadian dark ale!!

Rasmussen expected to confess to doping
Former Rabobank rider to speak at Danish press conference
Former Rabobank rider and Tour de France contender Michael Rasmussen is expected to reveal that he doped during his career in a press conference in Herning, Denmark.
Related Articles
According to reports in the Danish media, Rasmussen will talk about his past in a press conference at 2:00pm CET, arranged by his current ChristinaWatches/Onfone team.
The Danish Anti-Doping Agency has also called a press conference in Brondby for 3:30pm CET. DR, the Danish national broadcaster has suggested Rasmussen has negotiated a deal with Anti-Doping Denmark, offering names and information in exchange for a two-year ban.
Rasmussen has always been a controversial figure. Nicknamed 'the chicken' for his skinny, pure climber's physique, he first emerged as Tour de France contender in 2005. He won a stage and the polka-dot climber's jersey but crashed twice in the final time trial and was seventh overall. He was again best climber in 2006 and took the yellow jersey in 2007 after wining the mountain stage to the Col d'Aubisque.
However he had been exposed as a liar after trying to avoid out of competition testing in June. He claimed he was training in Mexico but was spotted in the Italian Dolomites by Italian TV commentator Davide Cassani.
Despite leading the Tour de France, Rasmussen was sent home by his Rabobank team and dismissed. He was later banned for two years but made a defiant comeback in 2009 thanks to support from Christina Watches. He won the Ringerike GP in 2012 and was third overall in the Tour of China.
Rasmussen has been locked in a legal battle with he Rabobank team for wrongful dismissal and hopes to secure 5.8 million Euro damages and lost pay.
Any confession could dramatically change the course of his legal battle and further reveal the scale of doping in Dutch cycling and the Rabobank team during the last 20 years.
