Created date
On June 28, 2011, in a much anticipated decision, a panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, in In re River Road Hotel Partners, LLC, affirmed a decision of the Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, holding that a plan of reorganization providing for a sale of encumbered assets may not be confirmed over the objection of a debtor's secured creditors, where the secured creditors were denied the right to credit bid at the auction of their collateral. The Seventh Circuit's decision represents a significant victory for secured lenders.
The Seventh Circuit's opinion stands in direct contrast to two fairly recent opinions of the Third and Fifth Circuits, both of which held that sales of collateral pursuant to plans of reorganization do not need to provide secured creditors the right to credit bid if the secured creditors are provided the "indubitable equivalent of their secured claims. In In re Pacific Lumber Co., the Fifth Circuit confirmed a plan of reorganization that denied a group of secured noteholders their asserted right to credit bid at a private judicial sale of certain timberland that was subject to the secured creditors' liens. Consistent with the Fifth Circuit's reasoning in Pacific Lumber, in In re Philadelphia Newspapers, LLC, a split panel of the Third Circuit approved the debtors' bid procedures that did not permit secured creditors to credit bid at an auction of substantially all of the company's assets conducted pursuant to the debtors' plan of reorganization. Circuit Judge Thomas L. Ambro (a noted former bankruptcy practitioner) issued a lengthy dissenting opinion in that case, which was heavily cited with approval in River Road, rejecting the majority's conclusions that the plain meaning of the Bankruptcy Code required the result reached, and concluding that the Bankruptcy Code mandates that secured creditors have the right to credit bid in chapter 11 plan sales. In River Road, Judge Ambro's reasoning carried the day.

FED CATTLE: Fed cattle trade was not well established at press. Asking prices were mainly $128 on a live basis while bid prices were mainly $123.
The 5-area weighted average prices thru Thursday were $124.98 live, up $0.24 from last week and $201.00 dressed, up $1.80 from a week ago. A year ago prices were $128.15 live and $204.45 dressed.
The February live cattle futures contract price closed $2.05 per hundredweight higher this Friday compared to last Friday. One might surmise that cash cattle trade should be $2 higher this week than last week, but packers and feedlot managers both wanted to see the January Cattle on Feed report from USDA before making any deals this week. This is understandable since this report was first scheduled to be released one month ago and has resulted in the February Cattle on Feed report being delayed until the second Friday in March.
The expectation over the next few weeks is for continued strength in the finished cattle market as seasonal trends from a supply and demand standpoint support prices.
BEEF CUTOUT: At midday Friday, the Choice cutout was $219.39 up $1.32 from Thursday and up $2.45 from last Friday. The Select cutout was $212.19 up $0.78 from Thursday and up $1.15 from last Friday. The Choice Select spread was $7.20 compared to $5.44 a week ago.
Weekly Choice boxed beef prices have been running above year ago levels since January 1st and are averaging $7.44 per hundredweight over last year for the first seven weeks of the year. The dichotomy in the market is that finished cattle prices are now trading below year ago levels as are most classes of cattle which means beef packers are on the winning side of the margin war.
Through the first seven weeks of the year, finished cattle prices are nearly $1 per hundredweight lower than last year while feeder cattle prices are well below year ago levels. Though Choice boxes have showed tremendous strength the first couple of months of 2019, they are going to have to push $8 higher over the next four weeks to keep pace with weekly prices from last year. An $8 price increase is a small step considering the $16 price increase over the same four weeks one year ago.
The boxed beef price movement is setting up an interesting situation across cattle markets as other sectors will begin holding the line to capture some of the value being passed down by consumers.
OUTLOOK: Based on Tennessee weekly auction market averages, steer prices were steady to $6 higher this week compared to last week while heifer prices were steady to $2 higher than a week ago. Slaughter cow prices continued to firm with $1 to $3 gains this week compared to last week while slaughter bull prices were $2 to $3 higher.
The main issue with marketing cattle in Tennessee and much of the Southeastern United States is the ability to get in and out of fields with a truck and trailer. February 2019 is shaping up to be one of the wettest February's on record which is delaying calf marketing as well as slaughter cow marketing in the Southeast region of the country.
The same abundant moisture that is keeping producers from marketing cattle is also setting cattle country up for favorable grazing conditions this spring and is also positively influencing summer grazing pastures. Thus, the rain may be benefiting cow-calf producers in two ways. The first is that it is forcing producers to hold onto calves in the near term which will likely mean more pounds to sale when the trailer can get to the loading chute. The second is that grass cattle will be in high demand because of positive grazing prospects which should mean higher prices. Thus, higher prices and heavier calves should result in more dollars to the cow-calf producer.
From the stocker producer standpoint, higher priced calves could mean small margins to work with if yearling cattle prices do not pick up their pace. However, stocker producers using grass may be able to put more pounds on cheaper with the expectation of abundant forage.
Changing gears to slaughter cows. Producers should continue to keep their eyes on slaughter cow prices as they continue their upward trend. Prices for slaughter cows peaked in March last year and then began declining which is not typical. It is generally June or July before the market turns.
The January cattle on feed report for feedlots with a 1000 head or more capacity indicated cattle and calves on feed as of January 1, 2019 totaled 11.69 million head, up 1.7% compared to a year ago, with the pre-report estimate average expecting an increase of 2.3%. December placements in feedlots totaled 1.77 million head, down 1.8% from a year ago with the pre-report estimate average expecting placements up 2.0%. December marketing's totaled 1.74 million head down 0.6% from 2017 with pre-report estimates expecting a 0.1% decrease in marketings. Placements on feed by weight: under 700 pounds up 2.8%, 700 to 899 pounds down 5.1%, and 900 pounds and over down 10.3%.
ASK ANDREW, TN THINK TANK: There have been several questions this week with many coming from programming I have been doing across the state. Many of them have dealt with cow-calf profitability and either backgrounding cattle, stockering cattle, or retaining ownership through the feedlot. Each question was unique to the producer, but each answer had at least one similar theme. The similar theme was that each enterprise or each stage of production has to stand on its own which means increasing profits. At the same time, a decision maker has to determine how the production change influences the whole system. For instance, one stage of production may appear to have negative returns while it positively influences the returns from another stage of production. In many cases, this occurrence is due to not allocating costs to the appropriate entity. This may not matter though if the system is more profitable with the change.

FRIDAY'S FUTURES MARKET CLOSING PRICES: Friday's closing prices were as follows: Live/fed cattle –February $128.68 +1.05; April $128.88 +0.28; June $119.48 +0.23; Feeder cattle –March $142.90 -0.33; April $145.30 -0.23; May $146.85 -0.03; August $151.05 -0.15; March corn closed at $3.75 unchanged from Thursday.

If you thought blocking file-sharing is stupid enough, wait till you get this: Reliance Communications and Tikona ISP has Blocked access to The Pirate Bay and Vimeo. First thought in anyone's mind: Why Vimeo? What was Reliance even thinking when they decided to block Vimeo- a movie sharing website no different than Youtube??
According to the news source, Medianama– the first to report on this, one can speculate that Reliance Communications (and now Tikona ISP) blocked Vimeo for the reason being that it hosts user-generated videos and eventually a question arises that other video sharing websites like Youtube will inevitably be banned.
Whatever the reason may be, the subscribers may not like that they are being controlled and would simply switch over to another ISP. Since Tikona has also blocked access to Vimeo, one wonders what kind of "official response" one would expect from blocking a site such as Vimeo.
Edit: My ISP, Tikona Broadband, also blocked Vimeo as of now:


text: How HP's Boise Campus Implemented Sustainable Landscaping 01/04/2018 | The tech giant's Idaho facility is the first corporate campus certified with the SITES v2 rating system By replacing non-indigenous grass with native grass, HP saves 82,900 cubic meters of water each year and reduces emissions by 90% at its Boise, ID, campus. With changes to its landscaping, HP Inc.'s Boise Idaho Campus saves 82,900 cubic meters of water annually, has cut back emissions by 90% and reduced landscaping costs by 50%. These results have earned the campus Gold certification under the Sustainable SITES Initiative rating system after the company replaced non-indigenous grass with native grasses that require less maintenance and attract local pollinators. The project is the first in Idaho to earn a SITES certification and is the first corporate campus in the world to be certified using SITES v2. HP collaborated with more than 10 local and national groups with its landscaping, which will reach full maturity by summer 2019. "At HP, we strive to make life better for everyone everywhere – not just through technology, but through sustainability efforts within our operations and supply chain," says Cynthia Rock, HP Head of Corporate Real Estate and Workplace Services. "Through this landscaping project, we're using less water, producing less emissions and increasing bee production – ultimately protecting our planet for future generations." With projects like HP's Boise campus, SITES creates regenerative systems; fosters resiliency; ensures future resource supply; mitigates climate change; transforms the market through design, development and maintenance practices; and enhances human wellbeing. "HP understands that a green environment extends beyond the four walls of a building," says Mahesh Ramanujam, President and CEO of USGBC and GBCI. "Through the use of SITES, projects like this are creating ecologically resilient communities, reducing water demand and improving air quality and human health by connecting people to nature. Their work is part of the growing movement to holistically approach sustainable development and construct green buildings with accompanying green landscapes in green communities."

Fish and Game Commission must form Tribal Committee
SB 161, signed by Gov. Jerry Brown, would give tribes representation on state agency.
SACRAMENTO —A proposal calling for California's Fish and Game Commission to create a formal Tribal Committee is officially on the books now as Gov. Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill 161 (SB 161) into law, Oct. 3.
The committee would include at least one person from the five-member Fish and Game Commission. All committee business and recommendations would be reported on to the full agency.
The Fish and Game Commission already has a formal Marine Committee and Wildlife Resources Committee, each inclusive of at least one commissioner. Tribal matters have regularly been considered by the commission, but such issues were vetted by a committee not formal created my statute.
SB 161 effectively formalizes a committee already in existence and functioning similar to the Marine and Wildlife Resources committees, but not officially on the books.
Creation of the Tribal Committee would cost the state up to $150,000 annually, according to a legislative analysis. The funding would pay for a senior environmental scientist position to review all Tribal Committee matters and general overhead expenses.
SB 161 was unanimously approved by the State Senate, 40-0, in May; Assembly members also supported the bill by a 79-0 vote in September.

Our desire is to teach the children or enlarge their knowledge about counting and doing figurative calculations.
The games in this site represent different tracks, in which the players move objects into squared space. The goal is to end the track from the starting point to the end position. This can be done by the rules of the game, which are shown in the beginning.
Pyce Games can be played from almost everyone. The Pyce Junior games are designed for kids which are 4-8 years old, but that doesn't mean that their parents cannot play as well. Even better - the parents will like the games and think that they are appropriate for their kids. Also the games can be played by pregnant women. It is proved that if a mother who carry a baby make some intellectual exercises, this will affect in a positive way the baby and its brain.
There are many tracks, in which the players can compete and compare their results such as steps and time for closing the whole circuit. The most important rule here is to be careful, count the steps and calculate the next correct segments.
So, we wish you 'PYCEFULL' games.

From WiKirby, your independent source of Kirby knowledge.Jump to navigationJump to search
Blish is a common enemy, only appearing in Kirby Mass Attack. It is considered a large enemy in size by definition, but since it resides in water, its large size is not a threat. Most Blishes are positioned such so that they cannot be defeated, but if Kirby is able to get to it, they are as vulnerable as any other enemy, although they have a very high health amount.
The Blish's basic appearance is that of a rounded, green fish, with large lips and disproportionately small fins. They always face upwards, and project sharp barb-like water jets out of their mouths whenever Kirby approaches close. These barbs can move medals into Kirby's reach, break metal blocks, or cause harm if touched by Kirby.

Hanover,MD– I came in last night arriving here around 5:30 this morning, for an unload. 'll be headed elsewhere around noon or so.
I spend most of yesterday eradicating a virus from my home network. Those who have some experienjce with this can see how that takes serious time. We're still seeing some of the effects from the flooding ran into the other day.
- Obama's Uncle Quietly released from Jail: Gee, if this was an uncle of W…. what would be the headlines, just now, hmm? As it is, near silence.
- Beer Can: Glenn passes on some advice on boosting your Wi-Fi signal. We used to do that with CB, as well, though the cans were a bit bigger… taking a couple 55 Gallon drums at the longer wavelength.
- "Let's Roll" under Obama Becomes "Let's Roll Over". The great Mark Steyn explains, and does it well.
- Why the Stimulus Failed– Right Wing News explains
- Like a Kidney Stone: Saying pass it 14 times in his speech wasn't enough, White House floods reporters' inboxes after Obama's jobs speech. Amazing thing; Obama waits 961 days before getting angry about someone dragging their feet on jobs. Of course, forget that the bill he wants passed doesn't yet exist as such, any more than the Obamacare bill did.
- When even the NY Times Admits it… I see where the Times is saying Dems are worried that Obama will lose the next election… which is true… but the bigger, largely unspoken worry I see underneath these headlines is that he'll drag them down with him. Less than six months into this administration I said precisely the same thing. The reason for this worry has never been clearer; In Obama, what the left got was precisely what they've been having what dreams over for the past several decades; this country has never had a more leftist dominated president. His policies were exactly what the left asked for. As an example, Obama has succeeded in tossing all kinds of loan guarantees and outright giveaways to "renewable energy companies", such as Solyndra. None of them have panned out, other than providing monetary support for his political supporters , such as the unions for example. It has become clear to the American people and that those policies are a failure, in terms of providing jobs, and ending the recession. Indeed, the evidence is clear that Obama's leftist leanings have made our recession that much worse. That's true, even if Obama himself doesn't remember that his policies have so far failed. For example, that his first stimulus was an absolute flop. He doesn't understand anything else, has no other ideas, therefore he's going to try it again. Tell me again how this man is not ideology driven. Therefore, the chances of anyone being reelected who supports those policies and the ideology behind them are not exactly rock sure.
- Krugman: I note David's comments this morning and Glenn's comments later in the day…and will echo them here:
Don't be angry. Understand it for what it is, an admission of impotence from a sad and irrelevant little man. Things haven't gone the way he wanted lately, his messiah has feet of clay — hell, forget the "feet" part, the clay goes at least waist-high — and it seems likely he'll have even less reason to like the coming decade than the last, and he'll certainly have even less influence than he's had. Thus, he tries to piss all over the people he's always hated and envied. No surprise there. But no importance, either. You'll see more and worse from Krugman and his ilk as the left nationally undergoes the kind of crackup it's already experiencing in Wisconsin. They thought Barack Obama was going to bring back the glory days of liberal hegemony in politics, but it turned out he was their Ghost Dance, their Bear Shirt, a mystically believed-in totem that lacked the power to reverse their onrushing decline, no matter what the shamans claimed.
Lots of comments at the link, too.

Despite the advancement in medicine, management of heart failure (HF), which usually presents as a disease syndrome, has been a challenge to healthcare providers. This is reflected by the relatively higher rate of readmissions along with increased mortality and morbidity associated with HF. In this review article, we first provide a general overview of types of HF pathogenesis and diagnostic features of HF including the crucial role of exercise in determining the severity of heart failure, the efficacy of therapeutic strategies and the morbidity/mortality of HF. We then discuss the quality control measures to prevent the growing readmission rates for HF. We also attempt to elucidate published and ongoing clinical trials for HF in an effort to evaluate the standard and novel therapeutic approaches, including stem cell and gene therapies, to reduce the morbidity and mortality. Finally, we discuss the appropriate utilization/documentation and medical coding based on the severity of the HF alone and with minor and major co-morbidities. We consider that this review provides an extensive overview of the HF in terms of disease pathophysiology, management and documentation for the general readers, as well as for the clinicians/physicians/hospitalists.

ST. LOUIS – Saturday Hall of Fame Quarterback and former Rams player Kurt Warner and Brenda Warner were back in St. Louis to reward a single mother and her four children for achieving independence with the surprise of a lifetime by completely furnishing the inside of their newly purchased home. The surprise was part of the annual First Things First "Homes for the Holidays" program.
Including this family, First Things First has rewarded the hard work of 50 families since beginning the program in 2002. Twenty-two total families have been blessed in the Bi-State region.
Kurt and Brenda guided the family throughout the home as part of the celebration for the 50th family getting a new home.
The single mother achieved her dream of homeownership through the purchase of a Habitat for Humanity home on Saturday.
What she didn't know is this home came stocked full of furniture, appliances, and technology valued at approximately $10,000 from Aaron's, Inc.
The home furnishings are a result of a partnership between Aaron's, former NFL quarterback Kurt Warner, Habitat for Humanity Saint Louis and U-Haul.
The family consists of a single mother and Somali immigrant, along with her four daughters. This is the 50th family Kurt and Brenda Warner has rewarded since beginning the program in 2002.

William Fichtner was the winner of Saturday's 35th annual Toyota Pro/Celebrity Charity Race through the streets of Long Beach, California.
The race wasn't without its high speed dramas, with Stephen Moyer flipping his car on Friday, and last year's winner – Brian Austin Green – only managing to cross the line in eighth place. Other participants included Kevin Jonas and Djimon Hounsou.
On behalf of each celebrity racer, Toyota donates $5,000 to Racing for Kids every year and another $5,000 to the winning racer's charity of choice. Racing for Kids, a national nonprofit program benefiting children's hospitals throughout the country, (in this case, Miller Children's Hospital in Long Beach and Children's Hospital of Orange County, Calif.), was created as a way to connect sick children with their favorite celebrities and race-car drivers. Toyota has donated more than $1.9 million to various children's hospitals since 1991, on behalf of this race and its participants.

Mr. Steve Fuhrman was seeking out help for his claim for Social Security Disability. He was highly recommended by several people to go to Brooks Law Group. He was seeking disability because he had a heart attack and was unable to go back to work – which completely devastated him.
Steve Fuhrman had a great experience with Brooks Law Group and stated that the firm exceeded his expectations. In his testimonial, he talks about how we would call him just to see how he was doing. This meant the world to him and he was very pleased with his experience. He felt very strongly about and appreciated our commitment to him as a person and not as a number. To him, that was the most important part of the experience because he felt like he was cared about. We go that extra mile with all of our clients and with everyone who calls the firm, no matter what type of case it is. Our hope and goal is to always provide "the ultimate client experience."

Auditor: Internal Docs Show HART Lied to Public About Rail Costs
In 2012, the City and County of Honolulu broke ground on a 20.1 mile elevated rail transit system extending from Kapolei to Ala Moana.
We found that, as the Honolulu Rail Transit Project progressed and costs swelled from $5.122 billion in 2012 to $9.188 billion in 2018, HART began reporting information to the public that often contradicted its own internal projections or differed from what it was telling the Federal Transit Administration.
We found that HART's inaccurate reporting of its estimated costs to complete the Project and the estimated date by which it expected to begin full operations undermined the Board's oversight, obscured the extent of the Project's financial problems, and eroded public confidence.

Following 16 months of scientific effort, LISA Pathfinder completed its main mission on 30 June 2017, having demonstrated the technology needed to operate ESA's future LISA space observatory to study gravitational waves – ripples in spacetime predicted by Albert Einstein.
On 18 July, the spacecraft was shut down after being placed in a safe disposal orbit. The final command was sent from ESOC, ESA's European Space Operations Centre, at 19:57 CEST that evening.
That day, scientists, mission controllers and the mission's management team gathered at ESOC, Darmstadt, Germany, for a presentation on the successes of the mission prior to the shut-down. This video was recorded between 16:00-18:00 CEST, and includes highlight presentations on the mission's achievements.

A supremely strong field of 24 players has assembled at Finca Cortesin Golf Club in Spain for the return of the Volvo World Matchplay Championship. Six of the world's top nine players will tee it up.
The Volvo World Matchplay makes a welcome return to the European Tour schedule after a one-year break. As in 2009, Finca Cortesin in Andalucia, Spain will host the event. The field size has been increased from 16 to 24 for this year's tournament. The players have been split into eight groups of three for a round-robin format over Thursday and Friday to decide the top 16 who will go on to contest the title over the weekend.
In 2009 England's Ross Fisher took the victory, beating Anthony Kim of the USA in the final. The World Matchplay has a long and prestigious history. First contested in 1964, it was hosted by Wentworth Golf Club every year until 2007. It's an event that was won five times by the late Seve Ballesteros and the group featuring World Number 1 Lee Westwood has been named after the five-time Major Champion.
Joining Westwood in the Seve Ballesteros group are Denmark's Anders Hansen and Aaron Baddeley of Australia.
World Number two Luke Donald heads the Mark McCormack group and will play his first match against Ryan Moore of the USA on Thursday. He'll then face an enthralling battle against fellow Englishman and defending champion Ross Fisher on Friday.
Martin Kaymer of Germany is the top ranked player in the Arnold Palmer group. He's up against fellow USPGA winner Y.E. Yang and another Korean golfer, Seung-yul Noh.
The Ian Woosnam group features 2010 Major champions Graeme McDowell and Louis Oosthuizen as well as Venezuela's Jhonattan Vegas. Rory McIlroy faces Retief Goosen and Nicolas Colsaerts in the Gustaf Larson group while Paul Casey, Alvaro Quiros and Soren Kjeldsen will fight it out in the Greg Norman Group.
2011 Masters Champion Charl Schwartzel takes on home favourite Miguel-Angel Jimenez on Thursday in the Assar Gabrielson group, he will also play Sweden's Johan Edfors in the round-robin. The final Gary Player grouping includes 2010 Ryder Cup stars Francesco Molinari and Ian Poulter together with 1999 Open Champion Paul Lawrie.
Designed by Cabell Robinson, the course at Finca Cortesin opened for play in 2006. It's a fantastic layout overlooking the Mediterranean on one side and spectacular mountains on the other.
Venue: Finca Cortesin Golf Club, Spain
Date: May 19-22
Course stats: par 72, 7,380 yards
Purse: €3,400,000
Defending Champion: Ross Fisher
TV Coverage:
Thursday 19 – Live on Sky Sports 1 from 1pm
Friday 20 – Live on Sky Sports 1 from 9am
Saturday 21 – Live on Sky Sports 3 from 9am
Sunday 22 – Live on Sky Sports 3 from 1pm
Player Watch:
Luke Donald – Arguably the most on-form player in the world right now. He's finished in the top-10 on his last seven straight starts and was Accenture Matchplay Champion earlier this season.
Alvaro Quiros – The Spaniard will relish playing on home soil and his aggressive style of golf should be suited to this format. He makes plenty of birdies and eagles and, if he gets on a good streak will be tough to beat.
Martin Kaymer – Another fine exponent of the matchplay format, Kaymer will be looking to get back in the winner's circle here.
Key hole: Any hole can prove to be a crucial turning point in a matchplay contest but the par 4 13th is generally regarded to be Finca Cortesin's signature hole. 413 yards, a water hazard guards the left side of the fairway as well as protecting the front of the green.

The human body is ordinarily both complex and exceedingly fragile. Any serious wounds to the delicate centralized nervous system and appearing in particular the spinal guitar chord can have immediate with permanent consequences that can change a person's everyone's life forever. Spinal injuries want always been considered to be some of most of the most serious forms to injury the human internal system can suffer and constant survive. Medical science is considered to be making progress, but i personally are still a often way away from a functional treatment that can 'mend' a damaged spinal guitar chord and restore complete portability. But we are getting there, and primary and additionally secondary care for vertebral injuries is now much further more advanced than a few years ago.
A spinal injury does not necessarily mean which usually the victim is hands free confined to a motorized wheel chair for the rest pointing to their lives. But the physical implications of this spinal injury are continuing serious, requiring specialist treatments. An overstretched NHS engages in its best, but just cannot always deliver those pro treatments for free, and in particular if the treatment is a new one. Certainly who can help? Surprisingly, it's your solicitor.
Access all areas.
Solicitors specialising in real injuries such as vertebrae damage or head accident have an advantage additional the average high road solicitor in that just because they deal with a lot of injury cases on a regular basis. As any result they have developed the chance to develop a far more relevant network of contacts. Neurologists, physiotherapists and even trial and error medical programmes often application the core of an actual specialist solicitors network regarding contacts, meaning that implies of them you have a powerful 'access all areas' go number 2 into more advanced therapy fields.
Unfortunately, many of these treatments are not free on top of that some can selling price tag a small fortune, putting them aside of reach most typically associated with most victims. Nonetheless if your fluke was the resolution of someone else's negligence then each compensation your medical professional solicitor can get for you (which is often considerable for spinal injuries) can go the latest long way towards paying for the specific treatment you should.
Part with regards to the solicitor's case will be returning to establish what kind coming from all treatment per spinal injury claim food will have to provide them consisting of the very best quality associated life in the extended periods of time term. He or she do all of this by specialized experts when the product of neurology and spine injuries masters and, as they undertaking with these kinds types to cases on a mainstream basis, these kinds of products know that expertise is actually trustworthy and after that reliable. One particular testimony of a spinal injury technician can consideration a good sized role across determining the simple way much pay you generate. If a person's expert can feel that the actual victim may possibly benefit from a desired form behind treatment then that a bit too can come to be part regarding the frame of grounds the legal representative presents to assist you the surfaces.
Not just physical help
Facing back up to the fact that you've vanish the make full use of of a legs and will contain to be dependent on rest for the actual rest on your a lifetime because our mobility is literally restricted could very well be a bitter blow for a large number of victims, particularly if these folks were fast paced individuals prior to when the accidental injury. A special solicitor is aware that that the program isn't take a moment to physical recovery that's important, but mental recovery to boot. Some sufferers feel in the wrong about a new additional frighten that's been placed around their liked ones, likewise if that accident isn't their problem. While around time they may arise to vocabulary with all of the situation, the additional support that one particular specialist lawyer can arrange through an individual's network related to contacts will often speed up the restorative healing process, both mentally and as a result physically.
So cirujano de columna in case if you and / or maybe a precious one has been the victim of a crucial accident and is presented with the struggles of living with a brand new spinal injury, make pretty sure that the solicitor your organization talk in which to has the right ordeal and service. They'll try to make sure who seem to not no more than do you get all of the compensation you deserve, but that you have to also request the yes help and thus support overly. It ought to be a new key to taking those people first stairs on all of the long road to data restoration.

Street Photography, but by the camera deciding to take a shot, as you can see, my vest is in the view.
The above shot is just outside the walk-thru tunnel I use. Across the street is a bus stop, can be very busy. I always carry my camera out and on, so these are shots by the camera shutter just getting hit.
The corner where this lady is out cleaning the street & sidewalk every day. The business behind her sells fried tortillas.
A main street as I headed in up the street, walking in the street.
Yep, traffic gets close as I walk around.
I think my camera likes this spot, the motor scooter shot is outside this place too.
But it also took this shot as well. I cropped this a bit, too much shadow in the foreground.
The red & white sign is at the entry to the Bakery shop just up the way from my home. I stop in often, if I don't see my "pan man cart go by". Note the 4 wheeler, I am going to have some fun shooting the vehicles of this town one of these days. A 4 wheeler in the streets is a common sight.
As you can see my camera so often carried is straight up & down most the time. Like I said this is just the shutter getting bumped and tripping off a shot. In the days of film, we would cuss such stuff.
Digital world, I get to share some bloopers that are fun if not kind of nice and some are places I wanted to shoot anyway.

From the end of April, or possibly earlier, we will be opening every weekday evening from 6pm.
Liam is working this week so the course will be open from 2pm until sunset 15-17th April. Then 10am until 6pm April Friday 18th to Monday 21st
We have the Easter and May bank holidays coming up, and we will be open from 10:00 until 18:00 on those days.
The course is still wet in places, so walking boots are best. You can always skip the wet holes and play some others twice instead. Holes 1, 5, and 12 are the worst affected.
In total we had an impressive turnout of 61 players taking part in the 2014 Chilly Chuck at QP on 22/23 February. The Open division champion is Chris O'Brien who won by 3 shots from Derek Robins and Dan Ryan. The Amateur Division Champion is QP's own Gary O'Malley, who won after a play-off with Neal Clifton. The Intermediate Amateur title went to Nick Blakehill.
Conditions were very testing with high winds and slippery ground. Players came from far and wide, including Cornwall and Scotland, but the furthest travelled were 4 friends of mine who came from the Bergen club in Norway. Big thanks to Bruce for being Tournament Director. The full results are posted on the PDGA website.

PW141 - Lightroom 3 Quicktips - Picture Packages. Lightroom keyboard shortcuts cheat sheet. 5 Lightroom Develop Module Secrets Revealed. When you're new to Lightroom, some features of the program aren't immediately apparent, or easily discoverable.
In this article I'll introduce you to five Lightroom Develop module secrets that will help you get more out of photo editing in Lightroom. Note: if you don't yet have Lightroom check out this special deal Adobe currently have for dPS readers. #1 Smarter Virtual Copies Often when you're working in Lightroom you'll edit an image to look one way, and then decide you'd like to try to edit it in a different way – without losing your work. The trouble is, that once an image has been edited, any virtual copy that you create will use the current look of the image as its starting point. You can, however, use the Reset button at the foot of the right panel of the Develop module.
So far, so good. Notice the History panel is opened, and a state other than the current one is chosen to make the Virtual Copy. #2 Comparing Before and After So far, so good. . #3 Reverse Engineer Presets.

LightroomCC/6-01 Introduction - Luminous Landscape. PLUG-IN: Show Focus Point Lightroom Plug-In. A while back I wrote a post on some features I'd love to see, but I really didn't think would make it in to Lightroom.
Well, one of those features was the ability to show me my focus points. At times, I'll shoot the same photo but focus in different areas. As a landscape photographer, sometimes I'll merge a few photos together (focus stacking) to get an ultra sharp photo. Other times, I just use one photo, but knowing where I focussed can help me in the future. Well, a few blog readers pointed out a plug-in that I hadn't seen before. It's not incredibly elegant, but it opens a window that does the trick and gives you lots of focus information, including showing you the focus points. Here's the link to download it. Using the White Balance Tool in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 > White Balance tool. The Temp and Tint sliders in the White Balance tools (WB) section can be used to precisely adjust the white balance of a photograph.
With these you can color-correct most images or, if you prefer, apply alternative white balances to your photos. The White Balance tool is located near the top of the Basic panel. You can activate the tool by clicking on it or by using the to activate the White Balance tool and continue clicking with the tool until you find the right setting. You can then use the key or the key again to cancel working with the White Balance tool and return it to its normal docked position in the Basic panel. To make a white balance adjustment, select an area of the picture that should be neutral in color (but not a bright white area). OktoberNewsletterZwartwit. Tutorial: 6 Steps For Sharpening In Lightroom. Although all images are going to have slightly different sharpening needs, a regular workflow for sharpening will help you optimize your images consistently.
Lightroom: verscherpen. Eén van de belangrijkste verbeteringen (naast het kunnen exporteren van fotobestanden) zijn de nieuwe verscherping (sharpening) tools die heel erg krachtig en toch makkelijk te gebruiken zijn.
In de vorige versie van Lightroom waren er maar twee schuifbalken voor het scherper maken van (onderdelen van) foto's. In Lightroom 1.1 is dit een stuk uitgebreid met vier schuifbalken, waardoor meer op detailniveau kan worden gewerkt. Ook valt op dat er nu een uitroepteken bij de controls staat, de meeste functionaliteit is alleen beschikbaar als je helemaal bent ingezoomd op de foto, minimaal op schaal 1:1. Met "amount" bepaal je hoe sterk het effect van de sharpening is. Verscherpen gebeurt door de lichte delen lichter en de donkere delen donkerder te maken, waardoor het contrast toeneemt.

10 Lightroom shortcuts & clickables you don't know about. Although it looks simplistic at first glance, Lightroom is such a powerfully deep editing program.
There are layers upon layers of powerful options and almost endless editing capabilities. There are even plug-ins out there (like this one) for editing with layers in Lightroom just like you do in Photoshop. You can get the most out of your experience with LR by learning some of the keyboard shortcuts and clickables which you may not already know exist. Here are my 10 favourites: {Keyboard shortcuts} Before/After - To toggle back and forth between your before and after while you're editing, hit the \ {backspace} key.
{Clickables} Lightroom Video: The Ultimate Trick for Working With Skies. A New HDR Feature in Lightroom 4.1. Using Lightroom Brushes to Soften Skin. One really powerful part of Lightroom is the brushes feature.
Brushes give you the ability to effect only a part of the image by brushing on a mask that you can apply effects to. This is just like creating masks in Photoshop. LR/Enfuse - Blend Multiple Exposures Together in Adobe Lightroom. LR/Enfuse is a Lightroom plugin that allows you to blend multiple exposures together directly from within Lightroom by using the open source Enfuse application.
With LR/Enfuse you can: Blend images of different exposures together in order to create a natural looking image with a greater dynamic range. High Dynamic Range Software and Techniques. Digital cameras have a come a long way in the past ten years, and now a RAW file from a full frame camera can have a 12 stop exposure range. (Though it is in reality actually rather more difficult to extract the full range). There are many situations when this will not be enough, resulting in blown highlights and shadows dominated by noise. Combining several exposures in post processing will recover the highlight and shadow detail. In the early days of digital, this was little more than making an exposure for the sky, and another for the ground and merging them in Photoshop – often with mixed results.
The launch of HDR software like Photomatix and the features progressively added to Photoshop have made this somewhat easier – no need for masks or manual blending. Creating HDR Images Directly in Lightroom. Julieanne Kost's Blog. I'm excited to announce that Lightroom mobile now includes the ability to capture raw, high dynamic range (HDR) images! In the Lightroom mobile app, tap the camera icon and then choose HDR from the drop down at the bottom of the screen. Lightroom mobile automatically analyzes the scene to determine the appropriate spread of exposure values over three shots (most other apps only average two exposures). Then, Lightroom automatically aligns, de-ghosts, and tone maps the image, creating a 16-bit floating point DNG file which can then be edited as desired.
The resulting DNG file offers a much larger dynamic range than a singe raw file while maintaining all other advantages of a raw file such as higher bit-depth per color, lack of JPEG compression, and the ability to address white balance after capture with no loss of information! Although, HDR files are larger, I believe the superior image quality and greater editing flexibility are well worth the increase in file size.

After Russian former double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yuliya fell victim to the nerve agent "Novichok" in England, British authorities cast blame upon Russia and its secret services. Coming in the middle of a presidential election campaign for Vladimir Putin, the immediate hysteria and geopolitical intrigue allowed him to invigorate the race and reframe the election away from pocketbook issues and towards his traditional strengths of defending Russia from a cruel and Russophobic West.
Not more than a few weeks later, the use of chlorine gas in Syria against civilians was immediately blamed upon Russian-backed Syrian forces with a clear interest in defeating the last major source of rebel resistance to Bashar Assad's government in the Damascus region. Yet in both instances, Russia not only deflected and denied any responsibility upon themselves or their allies, but blamed the United Kingdom by calling both acts "provocations." This curious term serves a curious double purpose: First, to reassure the Russian public, and second, to confound the British public.
By declaring the poisoning of the Skripals and blaming of Russia a "provocation," Russian authorities are signaling to their domestic audience that they have seen through the ruse and are defending the country's honor and interests by challenging the British, whom they cast as the "real" villains. The seemingly unrelated chemical attack in Syria can then be linked to the Skripal nerve agent attacks as a continuation of the campaign against Russia by the British.
If this "it's all connected and there's a giant malevolent conspiracy against us" sort of explanation feels like a detour into Infowars territory, then this points to the second purpose of a "provocation" claim. By forcing British authorities to respond to superficially ludicrous claims, it muddies the waters with British and international audiences. Instead of observing their political authorities identifying what happened and proposing steps for resolving crises, the British public sees their government going off into conspiratorial tangents. This slows down the policymaking process and instills doubt with the public unsure what, or whom, to believe.
At that point the second purpose of "provocation" charge is to inhibit the British policymaking process and protect Russia's chief asset in the United Kingdom: The money that has flowed beyond its own borders to reside safely beyond the reach of the Russian government. The reason that money beyond the reach of Russian authorities would be a benefit to Moscow goes to the heart of how Russian domestic politics works and how Putin has stayed in power for so long.
Although supernatural powers seem to be often attributed to the Russian president, Putin is merely an excellent politician who has built a very wide domestic political coalition of those dependent on government spending and protection. These are the security services, the oligarchs, state employees, the poor and, just as important, the people who have made their money in dubious ways at home in Russia and have taken it abroad to places like London. By not reaching out and clawing back that money, Putin entered into a tacit social contract with those Russians abroad: Enjoy your money and don't complain about Russia.
If British authorities were to cause difficulties for those Russians with "unexplained wealth," they would naturally appeal to Putin to do something to help them as they had upheld their end of the bargain. That appeal would then force a very difficult political choice upon Putin to either do something to interfere further in British affairs or have the limits of his power recognized. Keeping British authorities distracted by outlandish accusations helps prevent difficult choices being forced on Putin and helps keep his political coalition together. So long as Putin needs to protect his people abroad, expect these allegations to continue.

Peace Corps Oppurtunity
As the preeminent international service organization of the United States, the Peace Corps sends motivated changemakers to tackle the most pressing needs of people in over 60 countries around the world. Peace Corps Volunteers immerse themselves in a community abroad, working side by side with local leaders toward sustainable change that lives on long after their service—at the same time becoming global citizens and serving their country. When they return home, Volunteers bring their knowledge and experiences—and a global outlook—that enriches the lives of those around them..
Our mission is to promote world peace and friendship by fulfilling three goals:
- To help the people of interested countries in meeting their need for trained Volunteers.
- To help promote a better understanding of Americans on the part of the peoples served.
- To help promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of Americans.
Peace Corps Volunteers represent the United States abroad as they work in a wide variety of positions. Assignments vary, however, nearly all Volunteers fall under one of the following general categories:
- Education - Teach lessons that last a lifetime.
- Youth in Development - Empower the next generation of changemakers.
- Health - Serve on the front lines of global health.
- Community Economic Development - Harness 21st-century tools to help communities lift themselves.
- Agriculture - Lead grassroots efforts to fight hunger in a changing world.
- Environment - Help forge a global movement to protect our planet.
Peace Corps is a life-defining leadership experience you will draw upon throughout your life. The most significant accomplishment will be the contribution you make to improve the lives of others and there are also numerous tangible benefits including the Coverdell Fellow's Program. We ask for a 27-month commitment, which includes 12 weeks of language training in the host country and encourage you to apply 9-12 months before you want to start your service. .

Rodney Walker: Tough Times Don't Last
November 1st at 6:30pm - 7:30pm
Flowers Hall 341
Rodney Walker, a Chicago native, has a Bachelors degree from Morehouse College and a Masters degree from Yale University. Given the obstacles placed before him as a foster child, Rodney struggled academically and socially in school. In his early years of elementary school, he was placed in special education, repeated the fourth grade due to poor academic performance, and finished his freshman of high school with a sub-1.5 GPA.
After joining a youth mentoring program in his senior year of high school, Rodney was able to deal with life struggles that had restrained him. During this period, he also joined the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE), a youth entrepreneurship program for high school students. With the support and guidance of NFTE and committed mentors, Rodney competed and won various business plan competitions. It was here that Rodney became motivated and inspired to start his first business.

Dr. Pulliam's Human Rights and Social Justice Course: Study Abroad in Ghana
Eight social work students went to Ghana West Africa for a study abroad course in June. The course Human Rights and Social Justice Applied allowed students to enhance their understanding and skill in applying social justice and human rights perspectives to their professional work and personal analysis.
The program included academic learning, cultural immersion, and a service learning component. The academic learning component allowed students to learn about the distinct socio-cultural and historical context of Ghana through lectures, guest lectures from Ghanaian University professors, readings, and daily reflection circles. The program included immersion in Ghanaian culture through excursions including trips to both the Cape Coast and Elmina Slave Castles, Kumasi, multiple non-governmental service organizations, a rural village, and the botanical gardens. Ghanaian peers, social work students from the University of Ghana, East Legon served as cultural guides throughout the process, helping Texas State students understand the cultural implications and subtle nuances of interaction with the project site.
We also had the honor of being hosted at a reception by Herman Chinery-Hesse, a Texas State Distinguished Alumnus, known as the Bill Gates of Ghana at a reception where students got to meet Ghanaian dignitaries, hip hop artists, entrepreneurs, and heads of governmental and non-governmental agencies. The students also researched, designed, and implemented a service learning component at Paulina's Queensland School in Agobloshie one of the largest slums in the country. Student Christina Burrows described the project as follows: ""our group decided to work with the students and teachers at Paulina's Queensland School in Agobloshie. For our project, the group decided that our time would be well spent by providing resources that the school needed to help better serve the children. The audience that we primarily focused on was that of the younger children in the nursery area, however, we did also collect materials that would assist all the age groups. A few of the resources that we gathered include 8 bags of concrete (to help improve the deteriorating building structure of the school), a generous amount of student workbooks (that will assist students in writing and English), books (as a first step in beginning a library for the students), chalk, erasers, crayons, and posters."

By the Spree canal in Berlin-Mitte neighbourhood, where the tourists from all over the globe come across to explore the historical heritage and history, the coffee wonderland called Refinery High End Coffee is allocated. Lovely and vivid side street with lots of restaurants and shops gets completely crowded during the rush hours when everybody is on hunt for a perfect cup of coffee for the break. When you get inside Refinery, you may be greeted by Tansel and Bora Özbek. The couple was always passionate about coffee culture, however, the truly inspirational journey started in the heart of Berlin in 2015.
Extremely high focus on the details, conscious ambitions to establish a hub for coffee professionals and those who search for novelties in coffee and gastronomy culture, brought the duo an idea to start their own coffee business a few years ago. "The story of Refinery High End Coffee Shop in Berlin includes kind of a fairy-tale of the 21st century. It is based on the idea to bring out our concept as the art of making coffee, a hip speciality café in heart of Berlin and purely caffeine-filled everyday routine", smiles Tansel.
The couple did not study about coffee in any special schools from the early days, rather took a chance to get university degrees in Economics to have a background in management and team work. "Nowadays people feel quite insecure about being team players, so the knowledge helps us to bring the individuals for something great together," notes Tansel. "Of course, the life itself is never ending school. For example, we endlessly train ourselves in various ways: specialty coffee tradeshows, workshops, interactive sessions, everyday readings not only about coffee but also about the innovations in retail and customer service design".
Refinery High End Coffee is known for uncompromised attitude about coffee quality to serve. It takes into account the accurate selection of the highest quality beans from micro-farms, their ultimately strong focus on the standards, only fresh in season and roasted to the perfection coffee beans by the best roasters out in Europe. Unique quality approach is accompanied by the coffee preparation and serving. The water supply and power is the core. As a result, professional and friendly Refinery baristas use "Spirit" coffee machine. It allows to extract espresso shots perfectly by offering accurate temperature control and pressure profiling per group head. The selected grinders are by Mahlkönig (EK43) and Mazzer (Robur).
"When it comes to the coffee selection, our team is in search of the harmony between the best coffee and the best people to work with. It is crucial to have warm and personal relationships with the roasters and combine quality with experience. Transparency, sustainability, support the farmers so they can develop financially and mentally are the key values." Refinery High End Coffee presents Norway's infamous Tim Wendelboe freshly roasted coffee: extremely fruity and aromatic, hand-picked by the farmers and their families. Furthermore, Caravan Coffee Roasters and April Coffee Roasters cooperate with Refinery exclusively in Berlin. The selection is frequently accompanied by the guest coffee roasters that bring new smell and taste palette.

So I threw out a little challenge to my Facebook following to do The 40 day prayer challenge with me! Mark Batterson is one of my favorite authors. I love his books and attending his church in Washington DC is a bucket list item for me! In 2011, when I read The Circle Maker, it radically changed my prayer life. Although I have to confess, I haven't been consistent in circling everything in prayer. It's crazy to even think that. I've seen God do crazy incredible things in my family, my business, my life when I just go to Him first, and pray circles around the situation. But what do you know, I get distracted and somehow miss the mark on going directly to the One who has it all under control.
After a phone call from a friend, that resulted in some bold prayers over her, I realized….it's time to pull out the book and get intentional in this prayer life again. Now let me preface, I'm just a broken momma, entrepreneur, and wife, that knows I'm nothing without Jesus! I'm technically not qualified to lead anyone in any type of prayer challenge, but He doesn't call the qualified, right? Lol! I struggle daily in my mommy, business, and wife duties. I naturally want to be a problem solver and "fixer" ,but as time goes on, I realize just how little control I truly have.
I'm by nature a fighter. I will fight to fix things on my own versus just submit and let God do the fixing. I also understand that to the world that knows me, my life looks like it's picture perfect. My husband and I work our business from home. We are full time stay at home parents. We have 4 beautiful and amazing kids. We have a great marriage. We have zero financial stress. We have a beautiful home, on a beautiful piece of land. There is literally a Bible laid under the foundation of our home and scripture written on the framing all over our house. We give and we give BIG. We spend our days pouring into others. We have a great church we attend.
However, at the end of the day, the reality is…..we live in an evil world and there are literally battles that we have to face each and every day. Our children are growing up in an evil world and while we are fighting to protect them, they are being influenced in ways over which we have zero control. We are also continuously interacting with people who are living in this crazy world and fighting their own battles. As a result, those people can easily suck the life out of us. So needless to say, it's exhausting at times. It's frustrating, it's defeating!
At the end of the day, we are once again reminded that our true peace and freedom can only be found in the One who came to give us life that we might fully live and that is Jesus!!! So, in my broken mess of myself, it's time to once again, be intentional to circle the heck out of everything coming at me in this life, and pray boldly! I would love for you to join me, give feedback, and share as you pray through this journey called life!! I do encourage you to journal your prayers, because I know you will be able to look back on those prayers and see God working. Here it goes guys!! "If you pray to God regularly, irregular things will happen on an regular basis!"
I challenge you to pray with me. And PRAY boldly!

Green Day unite punks and parents against Trump at Xcel
The day after I saw my first Green Day show, I went to the boys' locker room and changed out of my sweaty, district-issued gym clothes and back into my cargo shorts and brand-new American Idiot t-shirt.
"Why do you want to wear the same shirt that everybody else is wearing?" chided some girl I was only kind of friendly with. And to be fair, the halls of Peoria's Richwoods High School were a sea of black and red after the biggest rock band of 2005 visited our epitome of middle America.
This Green Day gear wasn't the equivalent of frosted tips, though. It wasn't about conformity -- it was about the community that Green Day have masterfully created around themselves throughout their 31-year career, a thread that continued at St. Paul's Xcel Energy Center Saturday night. For over two hours on April Fool's Day, mohawked twenty-somethings, suburban mothers with gaggles of 12-year-olds in tow, and probably even a few Republicans enjoyed the exact same thing.
In a world where record stores struggle to stay open because everyone's favorite album is their custom Spotify playlist, physical gatherings of music fans in one place around a single point of obsession are increasingly important. They make powerful moments possible, like when lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong launched into a fiery tirade against "racism, sexism, homophobia, and walls," to the cheers of the sold-out hockey arena.
That was during a particularly punchy rendition of American Idiot's "Holiday," a song written to denounce Bush-era warmongering but also appropriate now that the biggest reality TV star of that period has taken his place. If the presence of seven of that landmark record's twelve tunes in the setlist was lost on anyone in attendance, Armstrong let out a full-throated "Fuck you, Donald Trump!" in the middle of the 2004 album's title track, which opened the encore.
The performances of those two American Idiot megahits, along with deeper cuts like "Letterbomb" and "Jesus of Suburbia," were highlights of the night. And yet, when a band plays more from an old record than from the one it's currently promoting, it diminishes the current material and makes it seem like they don't believe in the new songs as much as they should. After all, this is the Revolution Radio tour, and while the score was close at seven songs to six, Green Day's twelfth album has a high enough batting average that songs like "Are We the Waiting" and "St. Jimmy" could ride the bench until the inevitable American Idiot 20th anniversary tour and make way for newer tracks like "Too Dumb to Die."
The half-dozen Revolution Radio numbers that did make the cut stood alongside the trio's back catalog just fine. First single "Bang Bang" and the title track were trotted out early, setting a tone of energy and urgency that persisted until the house lights came on two hours later. "Youngblood," with its built-in Minnesota reference, proved that the band can revert back their pre-political selves and write pop-punk hooks with the best of them, while crossover hit "Still Breathing" and multi-part epic "Forever Now" provided a stunning finale to the main set.
Even among all of these 21st century breakdowns, there was still plenty of room for Green Day's pre-millennium output. The group -- rounded out by founding bassist Mike Dirnt and longtime drummer Tre Cool officially and featuring three touring members -- reached all the way back to 1992's Kerplunk! for "2,000 Light Years Away." Their 1994 breakthrough LP, the 20-million-selling Dookie, was well-represented, inspiring mass sing-a-longs on "Basket Case," "When I Come Around," and "Longview." The 172-second "Hitchin' a Ride" (from 1997's Nimrod) swelled to over seven minutes on stage, thanks to unnecessary crowd-pleasing bits ("Which side of the arena can cheer louder?"), but was a ripping jam at its core.
As the final strains of "Jesus of Suburbia"'s last of five movements echoed throughout the hall, everyone but Armstrong exited stage left, leaving just the 45-year-old and his guitar. He closed the night beautifully with a pair of acoustic numbers, Revolution Radio's ode to easing into middle age, "Ordinary World," and a perennial contender for senior class song at every high school in America, Nimrod's "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)."
I don't know about life, but I'd go out on a limb and say that Saturday's show was the time of my month. It was an event that will be tough for April to beat, but did I buy a Revolution Radio t-shirt?
Hell no, man. Everybody and their mom are wearing one today.
The Opener: Green Day ruffled feathers with a certain sect of the populace in 1994 when they hand-selected openly gay rock band Pansy Division to open their first headlining tour as a mainstream act. Their stance with the LGBT community is no less clear nearly a quarter of a century later, as Against Me! has accompanied the band on their current jaunt across the United States. The Florida quartet is fronted by Laura Jane Grace, a transgender woman who made headlines with her decision to transition in 2012. They put on an electric opening set, mainly showcasing material from last year's Shape Shift with Me, but also mixing in a couple of numbers from back when Laura was calling herself Tom Gabel, such as the 2010 radio hit "I Was a Teenage Anarchist."
Random Notebook Dump: T-shirt cannons have no place at a punk show. Kid Rock concerts? Sure. Timberwolves games? Definitely. That's the kind of stuff Green Day should have been shunned from the Bay Area punk scene for the mid-nineties, not for simply striking it rich. Speaking of things that have worn out their welcome at Green Day gigs, Armstrong said "Let me hear you say "Hey, oh!" 21 times, in addition to other variations on the same theme.
Also, we Bruce Springsteen diehards have tired of the ubiquity of wedding-band standard "Shout" at his shows, and I can't believe Green Day hardcores feel any differently.
