Your favourite AC album ?
edited April 2011 in Animal Tracks
What or witch Animal Collective album or albums do you like the most ? Personally Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished is my favourite, there's just so many great sounds on that album. And heres a poll for you Winilula  i didn't even know you could make polls, that is really cool
God that's a hard question. Spirit is really good, but so are Strawberry Jam and Sung Tongs. I can't pick which one my favorite is.
We had a poll on this, why don't you make a poll? I love polls.
Spirit is my all time favorite album (by anyone). The orchestration and structures in it, in my opinion, is far better than most other Animal Collective albums. and of course Panda's drumming is beyond amazing.
yes, dan, yes. Spirit is my favorite because it brings me back memories of childhood whimsy mixed with the darkness of being a teenager. it is interesting, incredibly different, pandad drumming is amazing and it is so incredibly solid.
Tie between Sung Tongs and Feels for me... but I voted Sung Tongs. Seems like more solid album all the way through... except the last song literally annoys me if I'm not in the right mood haha.
the idear of whaddit i damn done annoying people cracks me up! (in that it amuses me!) [quote]pandad drumming[/quote] PANDAD [ha!] sometimes i feel i am kidding myself but the first ac i heard was indian in 03 and i still say it is my fave... song for song other albums may have it beat but for OVERALL it just has something so totally different... a collective feel and cohesion like a tripout in the dark magical woods... and jeez SLIPPI just randomly bursting out on there helps a LOT! i sometimes try to say DANSE just to Dare to be Different but i admit about 1/3 to 1/2 of that doesn't quite live up... but the better half is AMAZING and the overall experience of it being one of the weirdest albums ever [but in a fun way... so often avant garde stuff isn't really all that fun or so rarely!]
feels was my first AC album, it will always hold a special place in my heart.
i missed out on this poll... but this is a very difficult question that i feel the need to dissect. i love parts of all the albums (Hollinndagain to a much lesser extent than the others) I agree with G.O. about danse, there is an amazing half if you take the time and listen to the whole album, the other half is extremely weird, extremely. Feels would be perfect album to me without daffy duck. it doesn't seem as thought out as the rest but maybe that just me. SJ and Spirit are deffinetly tied for second. SJ was the first album i got by them, i just bought it one day of amazon on vinyl and immediately feel in love with them, every song is amazing. Spirit is just full of soo many enjoyable sounds, the way all the instruments fit together on every song always blows me away on every listen. Campfire Songs is my favorite though, i love the way they recorded it and added the natural sounds in later, how everything transitions through songs, and the way they all sing the songs together....
[quote="we tigers"]yes, dan, yes. Spirit is my favorite because it brings me back memories of childhood whimsy mixed with the darkness of being a teenager. it is interesting, incredibly different, pandad drumming is amazing and it is so incredibly solid.[/quote] Well done. I couldn't have said it better.
I feel like we have quite a few new members since this thread was around and the Least Favorite album got a lot of attention and not this one... Spirit is still my favorite album. What's everyone elses?
feels or jam. jam has all these great songs, but feels is great from start to finish
Strawberry Jam. I love it. I need to get it on vinyl soon (and get a record player too haha). My Tomboy finally came today!
i'm moved by feels every time I listen to it. Never has an album resonated with me like that save for In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
weird did i not vote for indian? not even danse! ZERO VOTES for both what a shame
Was Feels, but now I think Strawberry Jam may be my favorite. Feels is still fantastic though. It reminds me of the period between Summer and Fall. Like, listen to that album in that time frame and it feels (!) absolutely perfect.
i have such fond memories of listening to it down by the river with the leaves changing early fall 2005  i have to glow BACK!
its funny how this has changed for me, i cant pick between indian sj st spirit or feels. and i really like all the rest of em except for a few songs. i guess there are certain times for all of their music
Right now I'd say mine is... Feels. It changes pretty frequently though, as derek said there's a certain time for them all!
certain time indeed! i once went for a night-time walk at 3AM listening to danse and got stopped by a cop! wondering what the hell a guy would be doing walking around at 3am... just said i liked the quiet mellow atmosphere with no one else walking or cars around and listening to music and he probably thought i was on druggles! i wanted to tell him about the manatee danse! and the COLORS!!!!
haha! HE would've been worried if he knew what you were listening to! Moondog, what color is your Tomboy vinyl? I guess my favorite is Spirit because it really resonates with me. After leaving my ex I didn't really own many things and I got this record player and Spirit was the first new album I bought (first album outside of Goodwill), and listening to it hit me with so many emotions that night. And now it's just so emotionally heavy with me in a very special way. It just takes me back to that feeling I had right after I left him, independence mixed with confusion. I was such a jumble of feelings and felt so fragile as well, like I was about to break. I really love all of their albums but none of them have that strong emotional connection with them. I think Here Comes The Indian... is my second favorite.
This is an interesting poll. I wouldn't have been able to guess the outcome had I not seen this, totally surprised.
[quote="we tigers"] Moondog, what color is your Tomboy vinyl? [/quote] White
i'd still have to say mpp it really resonates with me personally, and imo they perfected the sound+song. when in the flowers bubbles in and explodes i always feel like WHOAH i see nobody has agreed with me so far!
yeah i thought it was pretty funny that no one voted for mpp during this poll, especially cos soo many ppl found out about anco through mpp and a lot of people consider it their BIG album i've been comparing mpp to sj and i feel like sj was avey's singing album, every song he displays his wide vocal range and mpp is like panda's. i mean even on the songs he does backup on his parts are more impressive, i.e. taste i think i might start a thread dedicated to dissecting the albums... do we already have one like that?
I actually got introduced to AnCo after MPP was released, but the first album I heard was Sung Tongs. Also, Taste is fucking great.
[quote]i'd still have to say mpp i see nobody has agreed with me so far![/quote] and yet there are still ZERO VOTES! ha! i think i went with strawjam back when the thread was first made thinking no one would pick that one boy how wrong i was!
[quote="G.O. [!]"][quote]i'd still have to say mpp i see nobody has agreed with me so far![/quote] and yet there are still ZERO VOTES! ha! [/quote] I joined too late! I'm honestly surprised that NOBODY voted for it though
Poll ended at Tue Oct 12, 2010 5:11 pm ^missed that part of it why would the poll ever end? ha!
maybe we should start a new one that does not end and throw ODDSAC in there...
Yeah we should.
yeah we shouldn't!
we shouldn't not!
those that do... don't!
just sing some tongs!

SHOREHAM — Vermont State Police cited Jason A. Gagnon, 27, of Bomoseen for domestic assault and other charges on Monday after he allegedly tried to force his way into a Shoreham apartment and then allegedly vandalized a car belonging to one of the female occupants who had tried to defend herself with a pistol.
Police said they were called to the Route 22A apartment at around 12:30 p.m. amid reports of a family fight. Police allege that Gagnon had tried to force his way into the apartment, where two women were located, by punching and kicking the door. One of the two women had secured a .22-calber pistol inside the residence because she feared for her safety, police said.
Gagnon was ultimately able to get the gun from the woman and then went outside and punched and broke the side-view mirror of the woman's vehicle, according to police.
Gagnon then got into his truck, put it in four-wheel drive and rammed the victim's vehicle in an attempt to push it into the apartment building, according to police.
In addition to the domestic assault charge, Gagnon must also answer to citations for violation of an abuse prevention order (two counts) and unlawful mischief, according to police.

text: Hi folks, (system details at the end) I'm having a real hard time trying to track down a really bizzare NFS related issue on some clusters we're helping out on and I'm wondering if anyone here quickly knows the answer to this question before I go off trawling through the kernel sources. I have a 72K assembler file (the results of a day of narrowing down the problem) that when I do: as -o /tmp/file.o file.s generates a valid .o file, but when I do: as -o /some/nfs/directory/file.o file.s creates a corrupted object file (and in the original case leads to a link error due to the corrupted ELF format). However, cp'ing or cat'ing the object file from /tmp to the NFS filesystem is fine, it's just the assemblers output that is corrupted. I thought that this was just an NFS probem until I used strace to dump out the entire contents of the file descriptors that 'as' reads and writes to for the assembler file and for the object file, and then diff'd them. The only significant differences is that the write(2)'s to the object files are not the same, which I find extremely puzzling, I can see no way that the assembler can generate different output depending on whether the file it's just open()'d is on NFS or local disk. :-( My only thought is that strace (which uses ptrace(2)) is reading the data from the kernel at some point after it has been corrupted, presumably at some point in the NFS parts of the kernel. The problem with this file goes away (MD5 matches that of the one in created in /tmp) if I change rsize & wsize from 8192 to 4096, but then other object files get corrupted instead. :-( We've tried this out on three nodes in the cluster, and they all corrupt the output file, so it's unlikely to be a particular hardware problem. What is hurting my brain is that there is a mirror of this cluster both in OS installs (identical RPMs of the OS, especially kernel, gcc, assembler & libraries were used) and in firmware (BIOS and firmware updates were from the same CD) where this problem does not occur at all. In both situations the NFS server is an AIX 5.2 box, it is possible that there are minor differences there, but I cannot see how a difference in the NFS server could affect the output of the assembler on the Linux box before it goes anywhere near hitting the wire, let alone making it to the NFS server. The mount options are identical (we've checked both /etc/fstab and /proc/mounts) and rpm -Va doesn't show any unusual discrepancies between the two clusters. OS: RHEL3 Kernel: kernel-smp-2.4.21-15.EL Binutils: binutils-18.104.22.168.4-35 NFS-utils: nfs-utils-1.0.6-21EL Hardware: IBM x335 and IBM x345 dual Xeons. cheers!

Matthias Klotz 1982: Modern Mittenwald viola
This 1982 Mittenwald viola is a both a powerful young instrument and a mature work; it was made by Matthias Klotz in keeping with the traditions of his famous family. Born in 1907, Matthias Klotz was a master luthier who learned his trade from his uncle, Laurenz Niggl, in the immediate vicinity of where the Mittenwald violin making museum is now located. This violin is a worthy tribute to the great family it hails from. This warm sounding and highly recommendable 39.8 cm viola is a piece of good craftsmanship made in the Mittenwald style of selected premium tonewoods. The two-piece back is made of deeply flamed maple, the table of spruce with beautiful, impressive grain. The well-done carving of the scroll in the Mittenwald style characterfully completes the instrument´s beautiful appearance. Some very few traces of use witness to the fact that previous owner appreciated its warm, resonant, rich sound. This modern Mittenwald Matthias Klotz viola was carefully worked over by our luthiers and is offered with a certificate of appraisal for € 4,500 undamaged in perfect, ready to play condition.
Order a certificate of appraisal with this viola, the certificate option is available in the shopping cart.

The role that the desire for meaning plays in the tension between scientific and religious belief is the focus of a new multi-institutional research project led by Hope College psychologist Dr. Daryl Van Tongeren that has received support from the John Templeton Foundation of Pennsylvania.
The two-year project, "Making and Defending Meaning: Understanding and Reducing Tension between Scientific and Religious Meaning Systems," has received a $79,902 grant from the foundation. Van Tongeren is the principal investigator for the project, which includes researchers and consultants from Virginia Commonwealth University, the University of Texas and Rochester Institute of Technology.
The researchers are considering science and religion as meaning systems that provide answers for pressing life questions and a sense of existential security. The team intends to explore the degree to which individuals' desire for such security—which they describe as a hallmark of well-being—negatively affects their response to differing views.
"We propose to study how the human motivation for meaning may impair objective evaluation of information and elicit defensiveness in the face of competing world views," said Van Tongeren, an assistant professor of psychology at Hope.
The team will also investigate how affirmation in other areas of life might provide enough of a sense of security to affect how individuals respond to different meaning systems and those who hold competing views.
"If affirming meaning reduces biases, we would expect to see improved dialogue and intergroup interaction among individuals holding differing beliefs, as well as greater openness to information that is inconsistent with their views," Van Tongeren noted.
The survey work will focus on populations in Holland as well as in Richmond, Va., where Virginia Commonwealth University is located. Van Tongeren, who joined the Hope faculty this past fall, completed his doctorate and post-doctoral work at the university, and the project's research team includes his former graduate-school mentor.
The research project is already providing a collaborative research experience for Hope psychology students, who will begin to collect and analyze data for two related pilot studies this semester. Students will continue to be involved as the project moves forward.
"I very much value the faculty-student collaborative research relationship that Hope encourages in our work," Van Tongeren said.
Van Tongeren hopes that the two-year Templeton-funded project will be the beginning of a long-term area of inquiry. He sees the potential to explore the same sorts of questions focused on other meaning systems.
"My hope is that this initial project will be used to springboard future work in this area," he said. "What about people in different religions—how can they have a dialogue with each other? Or even people in the same religion but with different denominational beliefs?"

Alexandria, VA - Media Research Center President Brent Bozell today demanded the media investigate and report on the new Obama Administration gag order placed on private health insurance companies.
On Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell twice on the Senate floor voiced outrage at a disgraceful and potentially unconstitutional abuse of government power. The Obama Administration's Health and Human Services (HHS) Department demanded all private health insurance companies immediately stop communicating how health care legislation might affect their Medicare Advantage customers' plans and threatened to prosecute them if they refused to comply. Currently there are 11 million senior citizens in this program - all at risk of losing a combined $123 billion in critical benefits and services under ObamaCare.
The cease and desist order was instigated by a letter that insurance industry giant Humana sent to its customers suggesting that reform could cost them important benefits and services and resulted in Humana backing down, announcing "it would cooperate with the (HHS) investigation" as reported by the Wall Street Journal's James Taranto.
This is an abuse of power that would shock even Richard Nixon. And yet, The Washington Post has thus far not printed one word about the violation. While ABC News aired an appropriate segment on Tuesday evening, their broadcast colleagues CBS and NBC have both ignored the transgression.
Media Research Center President Brent Bozell:
"Where is the outrage from the media on this abuse of power? Here we have an orchestrated and deliberate attempt to keep American citizens in the dark, particularly vulnerable seniors. Their very health is at risk, yet all but ABC have chosen to keep their audiences in the dark about this abuse. If they aren't willing to probe and at least question the administration on this blatant offense, what else are they shoving under the rug?
"The liberal media claim to champion free speech, but if they continue to turn a blind eye to this offense, we can only assume they approve of government censorship. And in this case, the stakes are much higher. Compliance with this deliberate attempt to hush anyone and anything that might derail Obama's government takeover is no longer just a violation of journalistic integrity, it is an offense that endangers the health and well being of our country's greatest generation.

I'm hoping to give away my modified power wheels Jeep. There's nothing spectacular about it. It's modded with headlights and tail lights. Has maintenance free harbor freight tires. Custom front end setup to correct for front sag (unlike any I've ever seen on here). Needs some touch up paint. Search my name on here for my previous post. Would like another kid to get to enjoy it. It's still has plenty of life left.

Ever since the fashion industry started to open itself up a little bit to the Internet, the problem of timely commerce has been looming. If the general public can see and get excited about a collection in September, why can't we sell it to them in September? How do we get around the fact that Fashion Week is no longer simply a trade show for buyers and editors, but a media event viewed by potential customers the world over? Trunk show startup Moda Operandi made a big name for itself in the industry by being the first online retailer to feature clothes, shoes and accessories for pre-order mere days after they graced the runways, and it was only a matter of time before other retailers looked for their piece of the pre-order (and full-price) pie.
Neiman Marcus is the first major retailer to step up to the plate with a limited-time pre-order push similar to Moda's, and they're trying it out with a selection of ready-to-wear, shoes and (most importantly) handbags from a selection of designers as varied as Alexander McQueen, Chloe and Reed Krakoff. The pre-order period lasts through October 10, and the handbags are scheduled for delivery anywhere from January to April. My pick of the lot? The gorgeous, simple, pool-blue Reed Krakoff Python Track Tote above. Check out all of NM's Spring 2013 presale bags after the jump.
Marc Jacobs Antonia Small Satchel, $1395 via Neiman Marcus
Reed Krakoff Python Track Bag, $3995 via Neiman Marcus
Chloe Alice Satchel, $1895 via Neiman Marcus

Key terms
A sac formed from the peritoneum and containing a portion of the intestine or omentum, or both, pushes either directly outward through the weakest point in the abdominal wall (direct hernia) or downward at an angle into the inguinal canal (indirect hernia). Indirect inguinal hernia (the common form) occurs more often in males because it follows the tract that develops when the testes descend into the scrotum before birth, and the hernia itself may descend into the scrotum. In the female, the hernia follows the course of the round ligament of the uterus.
Inguinal hernia begins usually as a small breakthrough. It may be hardly noticeable, appearing as a soft lump under the skin, no larger than a marble, and there may be little pain. As time passes, the pressure of the contents of the abdomen against the weak abdominal wall may increase the size of the opening and, accordingly, the size of the lump formed by the hernia. In the early stages, an inguinal hernia is usually reducible—it can be pushed gently back into its normal place. Inguinal hernia usually requires herniorrhaphy.

Hernias may be caused by congenital defects in the formation of body structures, defects in collagen synthesis and repair, trauma, or surgery. Conditions that increase intra-abdominal pressures, e.g., pregnancy, obesity, weight lifting, straining (the Valsalva maneuver), and abdominal tumors, may also contribute to hernia formation.
Surgical or mechanical reduction is the treatment of choice.

Patient care
Preoperative: The surgical procedure and expected postoperative course are explained to the patient. The patient should understand that the surgery will repair the defect caused by the hernia but that surgical failures can occur. If the patient is undergoing elective surgery, recovery usually is rapid; if no complications occur, the patient probably will return home the same day as surgery and usually can resume normal activity within 4 to 6 weeks. Patients who undergo emergency surgery for a strangulated or incarcerated hernia may remain hospitalized longer commensurate with the degree of intestinal involvement. The patient is prepared for surgery.
Postoperative: Vital signs are monitored. The patient is instructed on the changing of position to avoid undue stress on the wound area. Stool softeners may be administered to prevent straining during defecation, and the patient is instructed in their use. Early ambulation is encouraged, but other physical activities are modified according to the surgeon's instructions. The patient should void prior to discharge and be able to tolerate oral fluids. The patient is taught to check the incision and dressing for drainage, inflammation, and swelling and to monitor his/her temperature for fever, any of which should be reported to the surgeon. Analgesics are administered as prescribed, and the patient is taught about their use and supplied with a prescription for home use. Male patients are advised that scrotal swelling can be reduced by supporting the scrotum on a rolled towel and applying an ice bag. The patient is warned to avoid lifting heavy objects or straining during bowel movements. Drinking plenty of fluids should help the patient prevent constipation and maintain hydration. The patient is advised to make and keep a postoperative surgical visit and to resume normal activity and return to work only as permitted by the surgeon.

herniaAbnormal protrusion of an organ or tissue through a natural or abnormal opening. Hernias commonly involve a loop of bowel and occur at weak points in the walls of body cavities, especially the abdomen. They are common in the groin region INGUINAL HERNIA and FEMORAL HERNIA, at the umbilicus (UMBILICAL HERNIA) and at the opening in the diaphragm for the gullet (oesophagus). Herniation of the stomach up through the diaphragm is called a HIATUS HERNIA. Hernias that cannot be returned to their normal position are said to be incarcerated and if the blood supply is cut off by swelling they are said to be strangulated. Hernias should be corrected by surgery. External supports (trusses) are not generally satisfactory. Although the great majority of hernias involve displaced bowel, many other structures or tissues can herniate from their normal position. These include part of the brain through the large opening for the spinal cord or through a defect in the skull; muscle tissue through its compartment wall; synovial membrane of a joint through the joint capsule; and the pulpy centre of an intervertebral disc (nucleus pulposus).
herniathe abnormal protrusion of part of an internal organ through an aperture in the surrounding structures, most commonly part of the intestine through a defect in the abdominal wall musculature. Weakness of the muscle may be due to injury or previous surgery; obesity or heavy lifting add to the risk. If the protrusion becomes stuck in the narrow gap (incarcerated hernia) the blood supply may be compromised (strangulated hernia) and surgery is required. Common types of hernia include abdominal, femoral and inguinal. In sport the groin is a common site of pain or discomfort, and the term sportsman's hernia is sometimes used inappropriately for a variety of other conditions that cause it (including musculotendinous injuries and osteitis of the pubic bone). It is important to diagnose accurately the cause of groin pain, as treatment options, including those involving surgery, will differ, and particularly relevant to identify a true hernia, which may be due to a tear in the external oblique muscle for which there are various methods of surgical repair. See also abdominal muscles.

Patient discussion about hernia
Q. do you know of a good gastro doctor in staten island ny. I have acid refex so bad cant sleep, or lay flat.. years ago was told I had a hiatus hernia, and would only have fLare ups once in a while, have taken nexium for years, and it worked, but not anymore.. I really need to find a good doctor to test me again.
Q. I have a low back pain that radiates to my leg when i pick up stuff. Is it a disc herniation? I am a 43 years old bank teller. During the past 5 months I've suffered from a low back pain. The pain is not very strong, but it gets much worse while doing physical activity. When i walk or lift heavy things the pain is even stronger, and it radiates to my left leg. Can it be signs for disc herniation?
90% or more of herniated discs resolve without surgical treatment within 6 months. MRI imaging is generally only indicated if one is considering surgery; in other words, your pain and neurological status is such that surgery is clinically indicated. Then, an MRI may be helpful for the surgeon. If surgery is not indicated based on clinical/symptoms, then it probably is unwise to get an MRI. They often show abnormalities that are simply 'red herrings' and often prompt people to proceed with surgery that really is not needed. Beware!

Background: So, this weeks topic is somewhat more controversial than usual, but since there is a huge market out there I figured it might be worth a try. However, there will be a few strict rules regarding the topic this time to prevent things from getting out of hand too quickly. Read them!
First of all, please be respectful and mature about this. I know it's tempting to post tons of 'reference' material and make fun of the whole thing, but please consider your audience before you post. This is not a contest to post the most gross images you can find, is all I'm saying.
Secondly, I do NOT want to see any naked body parts in here. That means I don't want to see any part of a (real) human body in here, whether it's drawn or from a photograph I don't care. This is not the place to post porn. This might make explaining your concept slightly more difficult but you're supposed to be inventive enough to work your way around this.
Thirdly, please think beyond the obvious for once. I know it's tempting to make a Thor 2.0 or the new Fleshlight, but there is a huge amount of different kinds of toys out there. Erotic toys can range from the very innocent things to rather nasty equipment, so please be creative.
NOTE: I am aware this topic might be a bit controversial for a lot of people. I'm used to the IRC crowd, who actually inspired this idea. I personally think topics like this one are perfectly fine if handled carefully and with respect, but I do understand it if you feel this goes too far. My first reaction would be: the title should've warned you, so if you don't want to look DON'T LOOK. However, if you feel I should come up with another topic and delete this one for a good reason please feel free to say so in here or in a PM addressed to me. Thank you.
1. Design and draw an Erotic Toy!
3. That's it... now draw!
Deadline: Monday, November 23

Social and online media for social change: examples from Thailand
In Bangkok, a campaign to save land from being turned into another mega mall
brings people together online--and offline. Photo credit: Makkasan Hope
As a web editor and as a digital media enthusiast I've seen all sorts of content online: a close-up photo of someone's lunch, a video of singing cats, selfies (for the blissfully uninitiated- these are self-portraits taken from mobile devices), and more.
Can such content change the world for the better? What if these were more substantial or inspiring, would it spur change more effectively? While messaging is important, I think the real power of social and online media is in its convening power. The changing the world for the better bit happens when the communities formed by social media take things offline and act.

Marcobrasil needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 87 designs submitted by 27 freelance designers.
We are a startup company looking for a great logo.
We will be a company (agency) that will represent other companies in exhibitions and fairs overseas where we will have our own stand (stall) TELEGRAFF and the companies (Clients) will have their brochures displayed. Basically, our brand has to be the first choice in people's mind when they need to have their brands represented by someone else in the next events.
Our target audience is diversified. We'll work with oil related companies, but our brand has not to do with the oil business. We will be a sort of marketing agency for other companies.
We have a few initial requirements:
• We would like to have something clean, stylish,but with a strong character, professional and remarkable.
• A symbol and the name of company (TELEGRAFF) is a great idea but just the name itself can also be accepted.
• Color wise, we thought about DARK RED and SILVER. Suggestions are welcome.
• The logo will be used for business card (an outstanding one), letterhead, envelopes, as well as for small souvenirs. We also intend to use it for our website and as a banner for the stand (stall).
• Please, let me know if you need any extra info or details. Feedback will be given when I get a few different samples so that I can see a few ideas first. GOOD LUCK!!!

4-9-2012 Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum
Like I've stated many times before, I refuse to call this place the "O.Co Coliseum." It's a horrible name for such a great stadium with such unique, awesome fans. So when you read these entries regarding my visits to the Oakland Coliseum, you will always, always read "Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum." Period.
When I arrived at the coliseum, I met up with a long time friend, Deirdre. She drove up from southern California to attend this game with me and we had a blast! I never knew the Oakland Coliseum could be so much fun and I urge anyone that's in the area when the Athletics are playing at home, to attend at least one game. Tickets are dirt cheap and there are plenty of seats available!
We hit up the ticket window to get our seats for the day, and this was the line:
After we got our tickets (which I may add right now, these seats will play a pivotal role in my success later on…) we got a lady to get our picture before she hurried off…
…after that, we visited the team store to try on some Athletics swag…
…and as you can tell, like in Japan, I'm wearing my "Chuck Knoblauch Follows Me" shirt, again! Why? Because it's become one of my most favorite baseball shirts, kind of like this one that I wore at Safeco Field last year, and because Chuck Knoblauch was, and still is, one of my favorite baseball players to this date. I even wrote a special blog entry called "An Ode to Chuck Knoblauch". Check it out if you have the time.
After clowning around in the Athletics team store, Deirdre and I did a lap around the Coliseum just so she could see this old relic. Deirdre told me she hadn't been to the Coliseum since she'd attended high school. That was roughly ten years ago. Not much has changed. I was a little shocked to see the lack of fans tailgating in the parking lot as we walked around the stadium and I was a little shocked at the lack of fans in general. I still can't get over the fact that hardly anyone comes to these games. The stadium isn't that bad on the inside, and even though I've called the stadium a "dump" and a "relic" it's actually very beautiful in a sense that so much baseball history has happened here. I'd seriously hate to see the Athletics go anywhere else, and rumor has it, by the year 2015, they won't be in Oakland anymore.
One thing that caught my eye while we were walking around is this:
The Athletics put this entry together a week or so ago to allow season ticket holders a special entrance into the Coliseum. Although, there aren't any special perks to entering the Coliseum through this way, it just allows people with season ticket credentials to enter without having to deal with the other 25 people entering at D gate.
Deirdre and I sat down at D gate for the remainder of our time while we waited for the Coliseum to open at 5:35pm. The gates open roughly 90 minutes before game time, just for your information. While we were waiting in line, I told Deirdre that this was my third visit to the Oakland Coliseum. I visited the Coliseum last season on opening day and on April 2nd 2011. I also made a last-minute trip to Oakland on September 21st 2011 as well. So this would be my fourth game at the Coliseum, and as I explained all of this, Deirdre said, "Wow, Wayne. You've been to more games at the Coliseum than regular Athletic fans that actually live in Oakland!" There might be some truth to that.
Right before the gates opened, the line looked like this:
And when the gates "opened", everyone scampered (including me) to the security tables to get their bags checked and to gain entrance inside. Three young boys in front of me got their bags checked and were allowed all the way to the second security gate seen here…
…but were instantly recalled. I'm not sure why, I guess someone jumped the gun in the management department. So more waiting. Another five minutes passed and I was able to see inside to view which team was on the field for batting practice. I saw one player wearing a blue jersey…so that meant the Athletics were already off the field and the Royals were out taking BP.
Once all 30 fans were allowed to enter the stadium, I ran inside and made a bee-line for foul territory that eventually would lead me up to the right field seats near the foul pole. I've always had great success in this spot, so I didn't want to go elsewhere. Besides, when I initially ran in, I found this:
And within the next five minutes I was able to get a toss-up from an unidentified player in the right field (I think it's Eric Hosmer). Here's a picture of him:
I'll admit; it's a crappy picture, and you really can't see his face. I looked through my MLB At Bat app on my iPhone trying to find this guy, but the only person I came close to was Joakim Soria. But he's out for Tommy John surgery. If anyone can help me identify this player, shoot me a comment. Much appreciated.
Here's me chillin` out in my spot in right field:
It wouldn't be long until I snagged my third baseball on the night. And this would be a good one, too! Remember when I bought my ticket? I specifically asked for section 218 and asked for an aisle seat that was as close to the field as possible. Well, this is where I ended up sitting with my friend, Deirdre:
Can you believe that?! Four rows from the field behind home plate! Foul ball heaven, right? Oh, you are so right, my friend! Three foul balls came relatively close to where I was seated and one man to my right decked out in Giants swag was able to nab one of them and the other floated to my left where it banged off the railing. If perhaps the two fans that were in pursuit would have pursued a lot faster, I'm sure someone would have come up with it. The foul ball that I caught came off the bat of Coco Crisp in the bottom of the first inning. Well, I can't say I really caught it. It was more of a high arching foul that drifted about two rows behind me. I made an attempt to my left for it but I was blocked by fans. So I turned to my right, took about two steps up and watched a fan holding a beer take the ball off his chest. The ball landed in the row right in front of me and I was able to snatch it up pretty quickly:
In all the 132 games I've attended, this was my first foul ball during the game. Well, except for a foul ball that was tossed to me by an umpire at Kauffman Stadium years ago. In 2010, I caught a lot of third out baseballs from players at Busch Stadium. But those weren't foul balls. They were actual baseballs used in live games, though. So that's pretty special.
During the fifth inning, Deirdre treated the both of us to this:
I'm telling you; this was a massive bowl of nachos. It was more food for any one man to defeat but I accomplished that feat. I can now say I've officially conquered a nachos bowl at the Oakland Coliseum. It was so awesome-ly good, I considered eating what Deirdre couldn't finish. But I was so overly worried about another foul ball coming my way, I decided to pass on the second nacho bowl (even though I think I can eat two). And just for the record, it took me an entire Major League baseball regulation inning to finish this bad boy.
Around the 6th inning or so, as I was sitting there kind of staring off into la la land, someone approached me.
"Are you Wayne?" the guy said.
"Huh? Me?" I responded sort of half dazed and surprised that someone out of no where knew my name.
"Yeah. Is your name Wayne?" he said again and extended his hand for a handshake.
My initial thought? I was in some sort of trouble or something. But there was no trouble. No trouble at all. It was an employee from Major League Baseball here to interview me regarding my charity work for the Seattle Humane Society. Earlier in the day, I had sent out a bunch of tweets on Twitter that I'd be attending the Athletics game in Oakland. I'm not sure if that's where they got my information, or even who got my information or even how they found me in the Oakland Coliseum! But they found me! Anyway. I was able to speak about my charity and talk about my trip to Japan and all that, and I was told that the interview would be posted on MLB.com/Cutfour. It's a new website that Major League baseball has came up with to involve fans in the game. It's a pretty cool sight and all the teams have one. Here's the tweet after the game:
The Athletics actually played some very good baseball. Josh Reddick was able to throw out Kansas City Royals baserunner, Jason Bourgeois, from right field to third base in the first inning on an amazing throw off his back leg. Donaldson, at third, made a great tag on Bourgeois and essentially blocked him from even getting in to touch the base. Athletics rookie, Tom Milone pitched eight shutout innings, gave up three hits and walked three. Pretty impressive. I can't say the same for Royals rookie pitcher, Mendoza as he picks up the loss. And history also visted the Oakland Coliseum tonight. Kurt Suzuki played in his 600th game as an Athletics catcher! I was surprised when he got absolutely no recognition other than the tweet I sent to @TheAsGame on Twitter!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Obama administration should focus on fixing problems with the launch of government-run online health care insurance exchanges instead of delaying an enrollment deadline for the program, U.S. House of Representatives Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said on Wednesday.
"I think we should be able to go forward. I'm more optimistic than that. I have faith in technology and while there are glitches, there are solutions as well," Pelosi, a California congresswoman, told reporters.
Democratic Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida told MSNBC that she believed there "should absolutely be an openness" extending the deadline for enrolling in Obamacare.
Senator Jeanne Shaheen, a Democrat from New Hampshire, on Tuesday wrote President Barack Obama to urge him to extend the open enrollment period past March 31, 2014. The 2010 Affordable Care Act, known as "Obamacare," is expected to provide health coverage to an estimated 7 million uninsured Americans through online marketplaces that opened for enrollment in all 50 states on October 1.
Shaheen suggested extending open enrollment to "provide greater flexibility for the American people seeking to access health insurance." Shaheen also asked the White House, in light of difficulties with the Healthcare.gov website, to clarify how one provision of the law - that all Americans obtain health insurance or face a tax penalty starting next year - will be administered and enforced.

HOUSTON — It's not just the words, but the way you say them. It's not just the results that find you on top of the mountain, but all the steps it took to get you there.
That Derek Fisher is still playing in the NBA 17 years after he arrived from Arkansas-Little Rock is no more of a surprise than the fact that he helped finally close the door on the young and restless Rockets. Slammed it. Bolted it. Then hammered in a couple of nails for good measure. It's what he does.
Maybe part of the reason the 38-year-old Fisher is never looking toward the end of his career is because he's always been so busy working on the end of games.
— 0.4 seconds left at San Antonio in 2004.
— Running out of the tunnel and onto the floor at Salt Lake City in 2007.
— The pair of clutch 3-pointers at Orlando in the 2009 NBA Finals.
— Game 3 of The Finals at Boston in 2010.
If there's a loop of basketball video highlights playing on a loop somewhere in eternity, you can pretty much bet that Fisher will always be front and center, hitting shots, making plays, making his team better just by being on it.
You could argue that Fisher was the second-best Thunder player in the series behind Kevin Durant.
"I've been around a lot of guys and heard them talk to the team," said Thunder forward Nick Collison. "There's usually a lot of eye-rolling and things like that. But with Derek, it's different. He has a way."
Fisher's way was to pull the Thunder back from the brink on Friday night in Game 6 just when things looked like they could be getting away. When he checked into the game with 5:48 left in the third quarter, Oklahoma City was down by 10 and 12 minutes later the Thunder were up by 13. Fisher scored all 11 of his points in the final 13 minutes of the game.
"It really makes no sense for me to defend Fish, what he brings to the team," said Thunder coach Scott Brooks. "It seems like I have to defend him. But I'll tell you what, when we brought him in last year, it really helped us. Thank God he was available and we made the trade … but he has made our team better."
That's always been his knack, whether he's standing in the shadow of Shaquille O'Neal or Kobe Bryant in L.A. or Durant or Russell Westbrook in OKC.
It's not just the big shots on the court, though there are many. It's the small talk in the locker room and on the practice floor, where he nurtures them all as if they were his kindergarten class and gives a second-year point guard like Reggie Jackson some extra care.
When Westbrook tore the ligament in his knee and was lost for the series, it was Jackson who inherited the burden of filling his sneakers. It's been a heavy lift, but you could see Jackson flex his muscles and eventually get the whole thing off the ground as the series continued because Fisher showed him how to handle the load.
"He brings tremendous confidence to this team and to me," Jackson said. "He is a great mentor. You can't tell he's the oldest guy on the team. …There's a mental battle to this game and things start to slow down and your body starts to wear and tear, but mentally I haven't seen anybody prepare like him."
Fisher scored eight points, shot 3-for-3 from the field, knocked down a pair of killer 3s and made two big steals in the fourth quarter. He also shadowed James Harden defensively through the final period, cutting off driving lanes, challenging shots. In other words, all of the things that he's been doing for nearly two decades in the league, which have earned him five championship rings and a level of respect in a locker room atmosphere where frauds and self-promoters are easily exposed and ignored.
"He's like another coach, only he's one of us right here as a player," said Collison. "He has a way of talking to you that makes you want to listen."
They are common sense things, nothing magical or mystical in what he's saying.
"I'm just reminding them that it's about us, about our group," Fisher said. "That accomplishing something special requires you to give more than you receive."
Now with a harder-than-expected first round series behind them, the road only gets tougher for the Thunder against the rugged Grizzlies and — down one freakishly talented shooting guard — they'll need all of his wisdom and their wiles to keep moving forward.
They listen to him because he's done it. They respect him and they shake their heads at him because he keeps right on doing it. And all the while, he's never lifting up his head to take a peek at the end of a career.
"No, I don't," Fisher said. "I really don't. It's a state of mind. As long as you're willing to physically work hard and be focused on the discipline…you don't have to look at age as the end. As long as you can find ways to impact your team and be helpful, why not keep going?"
The kid Jackson has his thoughts from across the locker room.
"I think they should sign him to a four-year (contract)," he said.
Fisher laughs and shakes his head. The end is coming, but that doesn't mean he has to greet it.

Research | News
A new report, Open Access, Megajournals, and MOOCs: On the Political Economy of Academic Unbundling, in Sage Open compares the disruptive potential of open access (OA) for academic articles and massive open online courses (MOOCs) and finds that MOOCs are more likely to change the course of higher education.
Richard Wellen, author of the article and associate professor at York University, said in an interview with Sage (to be published at the journal's blog this week), "The open access scholarship movement is often connected to the moral argument that the public which funds the research ought to have access to it. In recent years that has changed. The recent policy initiatives to promote open access in countries like the United Kingdom and the United States have been based not so much on a principled commitment to openness, but rather on a more strategic commitment to the maximization of research productivity."
That motivation simply won't be as powerful for researchers working in fields that benefit less from public-private partnerships, Wellen argues in the paper.
Though tools "blending the functions of peer to peer academic networking and dissemination" such as Mendeley have emerged, according to Wellen, the desire of researchers to have their findings published in higher prestige journals, which creates a second kind of currency and leads to a "two-sided" market, further tempers the disruptive potential of OA.
Wellen also points out that those networks provide transparency into "the behaviors and interests of those researchers" using them, but cautions that " these innovations may come at the price of creating tensions between the market and the academic commons. For example, as academic social networks make researcher behavior far more transparent to publishers it may also encourage the proliferation of greater performance monitoring in a community that prizes its autonomy. As a result, the new system of research communication could involve controversial changes such as increased academic self-promotion and more quantitative approaches to assessment."
MOOCs, on the other had, "have had more of a disruptive impact on the academic community, in part because they define higher education institutions as a barrier to improved productivity and because the content designed for MOOCs has been found to be standardized, homogenized, and safe in order to lower costs and heighten automation," according to a Sage news release.
"I would hope that my article helps members of academic communities see that openness is more than a high-minded principle implicit in academic work and research, or a value implied by treating higher education as a public good," Wellen said in the Sage interview. "Openness in a digital age implies that more academic services and content will be portable and that, for better or worse, this changes the kind of policies and institutional forms which are available to academic communities. It also provides new options for policymakers who, for a variety of reasons, are becoming more interested in maximizing the economic and social impact of higher education institutions and research."

If I don't promote my own blog, I don't know who would! So, about a month or so ago, I've been emailing hapless friends and acquaintances individually and in groups to let them know of the blog's existence.
I billed it as "the one and only foodblog (at least in Singapore) which uses food to discuss social issues"
Then, to sustain interest, I began sending weekly themed alerts, starting with a topic close to my heart: food prices and the poor and nowhere do they come together so poignantly than when it is food sold at government-funded hospitals such as Tan Tock Seng Hospital, to which the less-wealthy sick would invariably head.
For contrast, I wrote about the food prices at Singapore Management University, which were a fair bit lower, at least from my experience.
Since both TTSH and SMU receive Govt funding, the question is why better control isn't exerted by the state on prices of food sold at a public hospital? After all, "no patient would last three or four years in a hospital, unlike students who at minimum remain for three years at university".
For more, go to https://singaporegirl.wordpress.com/2008/08/23/two-pictures-say-so-much/
On reflection that I might unintentionally be creating the impression that Singapore is all about unleavened poverty, I was quick to follow up with a platter of links to my posts showing what the better crust in S'pore feeds on…
The food binge posts led to pleas from non-meat eaters to provide something less heavy on the stomach. Also, B, an old school mate and cause celebre champion in Singapore and some say also in Australia, keeps reminding me about karma and eating vegetarian.
So I succumbed and made a "blast" of links to the following posts that would gladden many a non-meat eater's heart:
Strangely, my most popular post, measured by the number of visitors happens to be a post about eating avant garde vegetarian food in a sanctuary in the heart of Bishan park which reminds me very much of the tranquil food hot spots in Bali.
This pretend-Bali is of course just a poor cousin to the real McCoy, just like oyster mushroom is to the real fin de claire.
For the real thing, go to https://singaporegirl.wordpress.com/2008/08/28/bali-good/ and https://singaporegirl.wordpress.com/2008/08/31/bali-better/
These posts detail the good, no geat, times my travelling companions had whenever we made our pilgrimages to the isle of gods.
With the Ubud festival just around the corner, Bali will no doubt be once again higher up on the world's radar. And once again, people will talk about Kuta, Sanur, Legian and Ubud as if these are all the places there is in Bali.
My favourite remains East Bali (Candidasa — about 90 minutes drive on a traffic free road from Denpasar) and North Bali (far further away) where far from the madding crowds, there is so much to do just contemplating the beauty whether natural or man-made.

The Big Horn Mountains! Wyoming, USA Update…Nov 7, 2011
The Big Horns are one of only a few snowkite areas anywhere right now with snow, and arguably one of the best in the world especially right now. I thought it worthy of an other update with some pictures to help get snowkiter's stoke on for the 2012 season.
This time I went back with Wayne Phillips and Billy Baker. Billy had his biggest flight ever (which was kind of scary) and Wayne had some epic lines. I caught this one in sequence with this cool wind slab slide.
I'm stoked Drift Snowkite Magazine published some of these pics and a story here...

Chelsea: It's business as usual
Chelsea insisted Thursday was just another normal day at Stamford Bridge after Rafael Benitez's rant at the Blues support and his title of interim manager.
Benitez launched an impassioned monologue following the holders' 2-0 FA Cup win at Middlesbrough on Wednesday night, which set up a quarter-final tie with Manchester United. His criticism sparked suggestions his tenure in caretaker charge could come to an end as soon as Thursday, rather than as scheduled at the end of season.
A Chelsea spokesperson said: "It's business as usual."
Press Association Sport understands Benitez was set to take training at the club's Cobham base on Thursday morning and, at this stage, expected to be in charge for Saturday's Barclays Premier League clash with West Brom.
Benitez's comments seemed unlikely to go down well with owner Roman Abramovich, although the Spaniard seemed unconcerned as he stated he would be leaving the club at the end of the season.
Benitez said on Wednesday night: "I have a title. Someone decided the title would be 'interim'. Why? Just in case? If they want to blame me for everything that is wrong and then they say, 'We will put interim just in case', fine, that is your decision.
"I don't agree, but it's your decision and now everybody has to take responsibility. If we are in the Champions League, I will be the happiest man in the world.
"But next year, I will leave anyway because I have finished my contract, so they (his critics) don't need to be worried about me. What they have to do is concentrate on supporting the team. I have a contract until the end of the season, that's it, so they don't need to be worried about me."
Benitez insisted the Chelsea fans who once again chanted against him at the Riverside Stadium were in the minority, but urged them to look at the bigger picture.
He said: "It's a team in transition - they don't realise. In the past, we had (Didier) Drogba, (Michael) Essien, (Salomon) Kalou. These players, it was a very strong squad, players with experience in the Premier League. It's a time of transition. But they don't realise it was a time of transition when I came here."

Barack Obama rickrolls John McCain and the Republican National Convention
With its joke-killing April Fool's prank, YouTube took all the fun out of rickrolling forever. But someone has successfully revived the gag, where you trick someone into clicking on a link to Rick Astley's '80s one-hit wonder, "Never Gonna Give You Up." YouTube users Hugh Atkin and Alastair Corrigall edited together excerpts from old Obama speeches to create the illusion that he's actually singing Astley's song to John McCain and the delegates at the Republican National Convention. Rickrolling has always been a dumb, easy prank. Atkin and Corrigall turned it into a smart one. Watch the clip:

More recently, researchers have been looking at the possible long-term effects of milk protein consumption, and they do mean 'long-term', going so far as to suggest prenatal effects in expectant Mom's who consume dairy. But for the millions of nutritionally-conscious consumers who consider dairy protein like whey an important part of their regimen – not to mention the brands that market such supplements – this just-published study raises more questions than answers.

New York's 100 Most Important Living Writers
New York has ever been the center of the American literary universe — the city of Whitman, of Edith Wharton, of every bar in Greenwich village — and though the legendary metropolis has lost a little edge and a lot of grime since Henry Miller lived here, it is still home to and creative fodder for countless contemporary writers, each vying for their own place in its robust literary history.
As you may have heard, one of New York's most legendary contemporary writers, Philip Roth, recently announced his retirement, which has left us thinking about the state of the city's literary landscape — and where it might go from here. To that end, we've taken a look at some of New York City's most important writers, from Roth's contemporaries to his possible successors, from those who have already been established by the passage of many years of excellence to younger writers of note who may still either cement or demolish their reputations. In making our list, we've chosen writers and journalists in the NYC area with serious literary merit, taking into consideration their legacy, their publishing history, and their cultural relevance across the board. Find our ranked top 100 list, as well as interviews with many of these distinguished authors, after the jump, and get to quibbling (as we know you will) in the comments.
