Spotlight Interview: Joezki
Hailing from Stirling, Scotland comes an intriguing artist by the name of Joezki. He's dabbing into the trap and drill sound of hip hop music, along with experimenting with other genres. He's the type of artist that doesn't want to be stuck into one box. He wants to be able to be as creative as he needs to be in his artistry and sound. Joezki is constantly on the grind, whether it's collaborating with other artists, doing shows or working on his new mixtape. He's definitely making moves.
I got a chance to interview Joezki. Check it out below!
Tell us about yourself and your music.
Joezki: Well, I'm Joe, or Joseph. If you look on my birth certificate, I'm 21 years old born and raised in Stirling, Scotland. As far as music goes, I try not to focus on genre or sub-genres too much, but I guess you could say I mainly make Trap or Drill, alongside some 90s New York sounding stuff… fuck I love that shit.
How would you describe your sound?
Joezki: If Marv from Sin City, $uicideboy$ and Mac Miller somehow had a lovechild, that's how I'd like to describe my sound.
Talk about the experience making your song/mixtape.
Joezki: The experience working on the mixtape has been great so far; it's good to have a full body of work to finish instead of just releasing one track at a time, which is cool. I can't say too much yet, but working with other artists for the first time was mind-blowing, but that's all I can say at the minute.
What are you currently working on? Any new projects? Shows?
Joezki: I'm currently slaving away on my debut solo mixtape titled Can I Still Get Into Heaven If I Kill Myself? due to drop around June/July 2016. The aim is around 12 tracks, but nothing is set in stone yet (Laughs). I'm also working on a collab with Portland, Oregon artist CG, the EP is sounding INSANE, drops on 4/20 so watch out for that.
What has been your biggest highlight in your music career this far?
Joezki: To be honest, I'd say meeting new artists that have a similar vision and mindset. I have good friends in America now, that wouldn't have happened without music. That and having people actually support something I created, that's fuckin' cool.
Name your ideal collaboration: mainstream or independent artist(s).
Joezki: There's to many to mention, but off the top of my head: Kanye West, MF Doom, Jay Electronica, Yung Lean, Shawn Kemp (Lil Ugly Mane).
Name something random that people do not know about you.
Joezki: I used to play video games competitively, Call of Duty, Halo, Gears of War and Counterstrike: Source. I'd spend 8-12 hours a day in front of my Xbox/PC from late 2007 until 2013. Decided to give it up as I felt like I had just wasted 5 years of my life, so I started making music.
What's one thing you have learned or discovered while being in the indie music scene/industry?
Joezki: The work ethic, I learned that I won't get anywhere just wishing stuff would happen. I'm constantly working on something and I feel that's the best way to be.
What can we expect from you in the future?
Joezki: Can I Still Get Into Heaven If I Kill Myself, which is my solo mixtape, that's dropping in the summer, but before that on 4/20 (April 20th) the collaborative EP featuring myself and CG drops. After that, just shows, shows, shows. I'm trying to play as many shows as possible toward the last third of the year and work on an album towards the end of 2016.
Anything else you would like to share with our readers?
Joezki: Check me out on Facebook, Twitter and Soundcloud: Joezki on everything! Shout out to Andrew Genesis, California Pink, CG outta' Portland, Oregon, you guys for hosting the interview and everyone else supporting the movement. FK8 BOY$ 2016.

What is difference between DC and AC? | Everything You Need To Know
All of us, at some point, would have got a doubt about AC & DC. To put it in simple words, Alternating current (AC) is defined as the flow of charges that change direction periodically, and Direct current (DC) has a unidirectional flow of charges and remains the same as long as terminals connected are not changed.
How do they look?
Since AC is alternating in nature, both the voltage and current keeps changing from positive to negative or vice-versa at regular intervals, AC is produced by a specially designed machine called an alternator. This machine works on the electromagnetic induction law of Faraday, which states that 'when the magnetic flux linking a circuit changes, an electromotive force is induced in the circuit proportional to the flux rate linkage'. The generated AC can be sinusoidal, triangular, or square. This is how an AC waveform looks-
Fig 1: Sinusoidal (sine) waveform of voltage in AC
Fig 2: Triangular waveform in AC
Fig 3: Square waveform of AC voltage
As the name suggests, DC or Direct Currents are one-way, and so they have constant magnitude, ideally. The frequency in the case of DC voltage/currents is zero. The working principle of DC generators is also Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. But the internal design and structure are different.
Fig 4: A DC voltage waveform of constant magnitude
What is it used?
All the residential, commercial, and most of the industrial loads are fed from AC supply. The difference they can have is in terms of phases. That is, residential loads at homes like lighting &heating loads require lesser voltage, so they run on a single phase out of three phases. Whereas, the industrial loads and few times, commercial loads need higher voltage to work, so they use 2 or 3 phases.
Did you know that the energy obtained from solar panels is DC? DC finds its use in many off-grid applications. Be it battery for your car or an aircraft or any other low battery and low current application.
One particular use of DC voltage is in high voltage power transmission. For long-distance transmission over 600 KV, AC transmission is not economical. Instead, DC transmission proves to be much more economical; that's why used in countries like the USA, China, and even India.
The DC distribution technique has been applied to some domains, such as communication, ships, and rail transit. The corresponding research and standards of DC power supply in these domains are formulated.
AC/DC distribution Network
Many scientific and research institutes have come up with a proposed system of AC/DC distribution network. The basic modules in such a network could be power supply, distribution automation, power source access, and load access.
Though this is still on the theory level, AC/DC distribution network has huge application fields, and that proves to be the accelerating factor here. They find applications in the data centres, electric vehicle charging station, rail transit, and other DC loads requiring medium and low voltage. Other applications like Industrial park, Interconnection of different distribution subareas via DC networking, since it does not involve phase angles, phase voltages, etc. Here is a table stating a few crucial differences between AC & DC.
When it comes to industrial loads par say, which uses about 54% of total generated power runs both on AC and DC supply dependent on the application. Machinery ranging from simple 3 phase Induction Motors to Gear DC motor or Highly efficient BLDC (brushless DC) motor, all of them work essential Interconnection of windings. The arrangement of these windings determines the type of machine and the output of the device.
Here's an overview of these necessary arrangements, namely SERIES and PARALLEL connection.
Series & Parallel:
Passive components such as resistors, inductors, capacitors are an inseparable part of electrical /electronic circuits. All these are two-terminal devices. The orientation or pattern in which they are connected makes a significant impact on the circuit. From a fundamental point of view, they can be connected in series or parallel or both.
This massive impact is in terms of equivalent current, equivalent voltage, and equal power.
When in Series-
Connecting components in series means connecting them next to each other or more precisely connecting positive terminal to negative terminal of next components.
Fig 5: Resistors in series
For example, in the above fig, resistors are connected in series (resistors are bi-directional). The current 'I' passing via all the components is the same, so current in series remains constant and is the same via all resistors. But the Voltage here is not the same and depends on the magnitude of the component. In this case, the resistances of all the resistors are different. From Ohm's law, we know that Voltage is directly proportional to Resistance.
Thus, Voltages in series gets added up.
Batteries in series are usually connected to increase the total Voltage since in series voltage gets added up. When batteries are connected in series, they are generally of the same voltage rating and same capacity.
For, Vbattery1 = Vbattery2 = Vbattery3 = Vbattery n
So equivalent voltage in batteries ( Veq ) = Vbattery1 + Vbattery2 + Vbattery3 + ……..+ Vbattery n = n* Vbattery1
By doing so, the maximum capacity of all the batteries can be used. In case all the batteries are not the same, then the Equivalent voltage does not result in the number of battery life voltage of each, and the maximum capacity of these is not exploited.
When solar modules are connected in series, a similar rule is applied. Voltage sums up to give higher Voltage, and since the current passing via all the modules is the same, it remains constant.
Fig 6: Solar modules in series
When solar modules/panels and batteries connected in series have the same voltage rating and varied current rating, then the current, which passes via all the panels/batteries, is the smallest of all the current. This results in reduced power output ( P = V * I ) and damages the panels/ batteries a lot.
When in Parallel:
When components are connected in parallel, their similar terminals are connected. That is, positive terminals of all (similar) components together and negative terminals together.
Fig 7: Parallel connection of resistors
As seen in the above figure, the source splits to supply the resistors and voltage remains constant.
So, current in parallel circuit gets added up and voltage across every parallel connection remains same.
When batteries are connected in parallel capacity in Ah and runtime increases while the voltage remains the same. Even here it is recommended to connect batteries of similar ratings.
Thus, amperage or capacity in Ah gets added up
Capacity battery 1 = Capacity battery 2 = Capacity battery 3= Capacity battery n
So, Capacity eq = Capacity battery 1 + Capacity battery 2 + Capacitybattery3 +………+ Capacity battery n
When solar panels are connected in parallel similar changes takes place.
Voltage across all modules remains same when similar modules/panels are used and the current via each of them sums up to give total or equivalent current.
Fig 8: Solar modules in parallel
Above shown is the simple series and simple parallel connection of components. Practically, 2 or more components are first connected in parallel and such sets can be connected in series to get desired specification, which makes it quite complex.

The Karl Shiflett & Big Country Show sign with Patuxent Music
Groesbeck, TX- The Karl Shiflett & Big Country Show recently signed a recording contract with Patuxent Music out of Rockville, Maryland. The long established label is owned and operated by Bluegrass musician and sound engineer Tom Mindte. The band is excited about the label and the new recording. "It's a real pleasure to record and work with a top notch professional sound engineer like Tom Mindte. He has a real interest and passion for the music and the musicians and it's evident in every recording he produces."
The band spent the days of December 14th thru the 17th, 2015 in the studio laying down tracks for the new recording. The new project will be titled "SHO-NUFF COUNTRY" and will take up where KSBC's last project left off as a continued collection of tunes Karl heard and learned while growing up in Texas in the 1960's. The project feature's material from unforgettable country artists like Hank Williams, Bob Wills, Don Gibson, Hank Thompson, George Jones, Bill Monroe, The Carter Family and many others. The new project will also include a previously unrecorded song written by the late and great Monroe Fields.
Karl sings seven classic country numbers on the new CD (in high fashion) proving once again how bluegrass and classic country music go hand in hand. A highlight of the new project features four vocal numbers by fiddler Billy Hurt and banjo player Brennen Ernst. Two of the numbers are duets and feature some powerful twin fiddling by Billy Hurt and special guest fiddler Casey Driscoll. One number features a trio consisting of Billy Hurt, Brennen Ernst and Tom Mindte, while the last of the four songs features a solo by Billy Hurt with vocal calls from the entire band. Four instrumentals were recorded. A 1930's swing number featuring Billy Hurt on fiddle and Brennen Ernst on guitar. In addition an Ole-time fiddle number featuring the twin fiddling of Billy Hurt and guest fiddler Casey Driscoll. Brennen Ernst shines on a band favorite banjo number, while Justin Harrison renders a straight forward bluegrass mandolin instrumental. All in all an impressive 15 track collection of material performed in top notch fashion.
A release date has not been set as of yet but the new project is expected to be available by mid to late spring. Karl and the band are excited as they feel it is their best recording to date. Karl sums it up like this: "This band without a doubt is the most versatile edition of the KSBC Show I have ever worked with. As a group we are playing music that is dear to our hearts for we all share a deep love, respect and passion for bluegrass and old time country music. When I listen to what we laid down, I think about our musical heroes, and the various styles that developed during the Golden Age of Country Music. Each style distinctively different yet each influencing and overlapping the other. I take great pride in presenting and showcasing a band that has the ability, knowledge and talent to present such a broad spectrum of musical styles. If you're a fan of bluegrass, ole-time fiddling, western swing, honky-tonk and classic country our new CD "SHO-NUFF COUNTRY" is custom made for you."

Chris Vallillo's Oh Freedom! Songs of the Civil Rights Movement being sent to radio via Loretta Sawyer Acoustic Arts for January 2016 release
Chris Vallillo's new CD Oh Freedom! Songs of the Civil Rights Movement is being sent to radio via Loretta Sawyer Acoustic Arts as a January 2016 release.
The story of the Civil Rights Movement has been described as one of the
greatest singing movements that this country has ever experienced. From
the Freedom Riders to the the jails of Montgomery, Alabama, to Parchman
Prison and all the way to Washington DC, both old and new "Freedom Songs"
would become the backbone of the nonviolent civil disobedience movement
lead by Dr Martin Luther King and countless others.
In 2014, award winning roots musician and folklorist Chris Vallillo
created the show Oh Freedom! featuring 11 of the pivotal songs that
inspired and sustained this landmark movement. This recording captures the
music of that show.
Vallillo's multi-instrumentalist talents are at the heart of the
recording; a rich blend of roots based acoustic and electric guitars and
slide guitars, mandolin and bass beautifully performed on his extensive
collection of vintage instruments. He's joined by Grammy nominated
percussionist Rocky Maffit, who also lends his distinctive R & B vocals to
Vallillo's own resonant baritone bringing these songs to life in a way
that respects the tradition, but doesn't feel stuck in the past.
With liner notes that tell the story of the movement and the history of
the songs, this is a timely recording perfect for Martin Luther King Day
or Black History Month.
Follow the Drinkin' Gourd
Halleluia I'm Travelin'
We Shall Not Be Moved
Ain't Gonna Let Nobody (Turn Me Around)
If You Miss Me at the Back of the Bus
Oh Freedom!

LOS ANGELES – For the pa... more
20 June, 2012 - 13:13:22
Taiwanese visual artist Baw Lu does it all. From a very young age on, she's dedicated herself to drawing, painting and photography. These days, an international breakthrough is looming. 'I'm very much inspired by Western art and design.'
As a student at the National University of the Arts (NTUA) in Taipei, she specialized in computer design en started designing her first t-shirts. While adding radio and tv production to her curriculum, she produced the videos Supoman, Presto and Ego with motion graphics as a basis.She describes her all-round portfolio as 'rock style': 'I feel free to choose from all kinds of influences, hence the term. Plus the fact that I'm friends with a lot of musicians and love rock bands such as Sigur Rós from Iceland.'
More and more Taiwanese bands such as Slimo, Tizzy Bac and Frida Li have approached Baw Lu to design their cd covers and music videos. Recently, she produced a concert video for Malaysian singer Fish Leong and designed the motion graphics for Asian superstar Jay Chou's concert tour. 'Together, we went through my sketches from which we made the definite choice. When I'm sketching, I play a lot of hardrock and alt rock to get inspired.'
Her t-shirt designs are characterized by a lively, eclectic style. 'I combine all kinds of images and designs and thus create a new, fresh style,' she explains. 'I'd like to draw from pop culture and cartoons, urging people to think about the visual story I've created. I see the world as a funny place. Hopefully, I manage to make people laugh, with the themes in my work making them think as the same time. For instance, my popular design with the starry-eyed tiger refers to the dangerous reputation of the animal, but no one really knows what a tiger is thinking.'
Baw Lu grins when talking about the popularity of her t-shirt designs. 'My t-shirts are popular with young and old that feels attracted to the orginal style, but the term 'older' is very relative in Taiwan. I mean, most girls feel old when they're 22, claiming that their beauty is fading from that age on. At the same time, a lot of people say that 'life starts at 70'. Typical Taiwanese, I suspect.'
In her hometown Taipei, specially designed murals by Lu can be seen at the Cama Café, a franchise with twelve locations whose employees wear corporate t-shirts from her hand as well. 'In all these cafés, I've painted the murals myself, while my assistant worked on the t-shirt design. The walls of my studio in the centre of Taipei are plastered with designs for new assignments.' And with sketches for the alphabet she designed. 'The letters are read from left to right, not from the top down as we're used to in Taiwan. Thanks to my Western inspired mindset.'

Rotating - either clockwise or counterclockwise the simple allen key supplied with the guitar - the angle between neck and body is changing.
No need to remove strings, no need of tools or luthiers, and all is done in a matter of seconds. Playability of the guitar changes instantly, and also sound of course varies.
The action can be set to any desired height to match skills, different string gauges or even different styles of playing and different kinds of music.


The June meeting is now set for Thursday, June 3rd, at Misty's Steakhouse & Brewery. Meeting to start at 7 pm. Not sure how much of a secret it is anymore… the Modern Monks have taken over the brewing operation. Two MM brews are available and two more are in the fermenters and should be available by meeting time.
Misty's is located in the Crane River restaurant – an early meeting place to the Lincoln Lagers. So, this will be a nostalgic return "home" for many in the club.

Protecting Newborns from Infectious Diseases
Written by: Bethany Rundell
Patient & Visitor Safety
From the delivery room to the nursery, parents of newborns are typically vigilant about cleanliness and safety. That caution is wise, especially during the current COVID-19 pandemic, says neonatologist Jorge Perez, M.D., medical director of South Miami Hospital's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
In addition to the threat of COVID-19, flu and other viruses, strep infections and common household germs can disrupt the otherwise healthy balance of a baby's nursery, he says. Fortunately, preventive medicine begins with prenatal care and continues after your baby's homecoming.
Worried about germs? Dr. Perez warns of the most common, yet potentially serious, illnesses that newborns contract and offers parents these tips to keep babies safe:
Influenza: A flu vaccination during pregnancy allows the unborn child to benefit from mom's flu shot. Direct flu immunization is not recommended for newborns and babies under 6 months of age. But during those early months, the newborn remains protected from a flu shot received by mom during her pregnancy. That's important, because infants and young children are especially vulnerable to the flu and related complications, such as pneumonia. "The flu in babies and young children is especially serious, as their immune systems aren't yet strong enough to fight off this virus," Dr. Perez said. "We recommend that moms get their flu shot during pregnancy and other caregivers should also get a flu vaccine to prevent exposing the child to the virus."
Group B streptococci: According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 25 percent of women carry group B strep bacteria, which is not usually harmful or contagious, except to newborns. Group B strep can be passed on to babies during delivery and can cause meningitis and bloodstream infections, which can be fatal. Therefore, when expectant mothers are 35 to 37 weeks pregnant, most are given a group B strep test. If not, Dr. Perez recommends pregnant women ask their obstetrician to order the test. If a woman is identified as a carrier of the bacteria, she will receive antibiotics during labor to prevent the spread of the bacteria to the baby during delivery. Even if a woman tests negative for group B strep in one pregnancy, she should be tested again in subsequent pregnancies, Dr. Perez says.
Cytomegalovirus: Known as CMV, this virus can be passed from the mother to the baby during pregnancy through the mother's blood, which passes through the placenta to the baby. The CDC reports that most babies born with congenital CMV are healthy, without any symptoms or health problems. But, some babies are born prematurely and will exhibit symptoms, such as rash, jaundice, a small head (microcephaly), low birth weight, an enlarged liver or spleen, a damaged eye retina (retinitis), pneumonia or develop seizures. These babies may also develop long-term health problems, including vision or hearing loss or developmental and motor delays. The virus, which is transmitted through saliva, urine and blood, can infect individuals without detection. Women who have frequent contact with young children are at greater risk of contracting CMV and passing it along to their unborn babies. For protection, the CDC recommends that pregnant mothers:
Use soap and water to wash hands, particularly after changing a toddler's diaper, wiping a child's nose or touching objects handled by children.
Wash or disinfect toys and surfaces – especially those handled by children.
Avoid sharing utensils, food and drinks.
Listeriosis: Newborns, pregnant women, older adults and those with compromised immune systems are more likely to contract listeriosis, a potentially severe infection caused by eating food tainted by the listeria bacteria. It's a rare illness, but the CDC reports that pregnant women are 10 times more likely than others to become infected and adds that the infection can present a serious threat to unborn babies and newborns. As a preventive step, pregnant women should avoid the following:
Unpasteurized milk or soft cheeses made from unpasteurized milk.
Undercooked or raw seafood or fish, including sushi.
Unheated deli meat or hot dogs.
Refrigerated meat spreads and pates.
Dr. Perez suggests that thorough and frequent handwashing, limiting visitors – especially those who are showing signs of illness – and using common sense can go a long way in preventing a newborn from getting sick. He also encourages breast-feeding when possible, since breast milk has been proven to bolster babies' immune systems to help ward off bacteria, pathogens and viruses.
"COVID-19 has brought to light the importance of taking preventive measures to prevent spreading infections to others," Dr. Perez said. "With newborns, who have developing immune systems, it's especially important to take common sense precautions to reduce the risk of infection."

Discussion in 'Houston Rockets: Game Action & Roster Moves' started by Invisible Fan, May 26, 2018.
I wouldn't call this game a choke when refs erase your lead. Obv, we can't allow them to take away our mojo and cry for game 8.
I didn't know Les was credited for Clutch City.
The memorable "Choke City" headline from May 12, 1994, after the Rockets blew a 20-point fourth quarter lead to lose Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals to the Suns was the product of years of Houston sports frustration.
Two words, in big bold black letters across the front of the May 12, 1994, sports section of the Houston Chronicle. To this day, it's arguably the most memorable sports headline in the newspaper's 117-year history. And it eventually led to a new identity for the Rockets.
That headline - a key flashpoint during the Rockets' first championship run - turns 24 years old Saturday as the Rockets get ready to face the Warriors in the Western Conference finals.
Here's the story of Choke City, in the words of those who covered it. Note: interviewees' job titles are those from May 1994.
Past is prologue, and that certainly was the case with Choke City. It came on the heels of a rough 15-year stretch in Houston sports. The Astros had blown late leads in crushing season-ending losses in the 1980 and 1986 National League Championship Series. The University of Houston's Phi Slama Jama men's basketball juggernaut fell to unheralded N.C. State in a huge upset in the 1983 NCAA final. Then there were the Oilers, who suffered back-to-back playoff catastrophes in 1992 and 1993. The first including blowing a 35-3 lead in Buffalo, the worst collapse in NFL history. A year later, they gave up 21 fourth-quarter points to lose to the Chiefs in a divisional-round game at home.
John McClain, Houston Chronicle NFL writer: Demoralizing and Devastating with capital D's. The Oilers' playoff loss remains the biggest choke in NFL history and perhaps the biggest in sports history. If they hadn't blown the Buffalo game, I don't think they would have blown the Kansas City game in the Astrodome. And had they won those games, I think they would have gotten the $186 million in public money Bud Adams wanted to help build his new stadium. So, in essence, the choke job at Buffalo lit the fuse that eventually led to the Oilers' leaving for Nashville.
Charlie Pallilo, KTRH-AM sports talk host: Houston fan fatalism was probably at its all-time high.
Rich Lord, KTRH-AM sports talk host: Disillusioned would have been a good word to describe the mindset of the Houston sports fan at that time. Fans were fed up with Bud Adams and thought of the Oilers as perennial chokers, Drayton McLane Jr., had just purchased the Astros and trimmed his payroll down to under $20 million, and I can clearly recall crowds of less than 10,000 at the Dome on a regular basis. And even though the Rockets would soon win a pair of championships, the mid-90s was also a time when the Astros were rumored to be considering a move to northern Virginia, the Rockets were looking into a possible relocation to New Orleans, and the rumblings about Nashville and the Oilers were just beginning.
As the Oilers imploded again, the Rockets were going through their own drama. The 1992-93 season ended with a Game 7 overtime loss at Seattle in the second round. That fueled the team for 1993-94, which started with a 15-game winning streak. Then on Feb. 4, the Rockets agreed to trade Robert Horry, Matt Bullard and two second-round picks to Detroit for Sean Elliott. However, that deal was kiboshed a couple days later when it was discovered Elliott failed his physical because of a kidney condition. The Rockets went on to win the Midwest Division with a 58-24 record and beat Portland in four games in the first round.
The day before the second-round series against the defending Western Conference champion Phoenix Suns began at The Summit, the Rockets got a gift when Seattle was upset by Denver, the first time a No. 8 seed beat a No. 1. The next day, on Mother's Day, the Rockets blew an 18-point lead and lost 91-87 to the Suns in the series opener. Afterward, Rockets guard Vernon Maxwell lashed out at the crowd that was about 1,500 shy of capacity. "Our fans are the worst," Maxwell said. "And you can write that. Tell them I said that. To hell with them. We can't even sell out the second round of the playoffs. We were up in Portland the other night and couldn't even hear on the court. And now, we're home and the fans are booing us. That's not what we need. When we make a mistake and get down, we need to be picked up. To hell with them."
After Game 1 of the 1994 Rockets-Suns series, Vernon Maxwell ripped Houston fans for not filling The Summit. That led to a sellout in Game 2 - and even more heartache.
Robert Falkoff, Houston Post Rockets beat writer: (Maxwell's rant) really spurred the fans and I think they sold the game out in 45 minutes for Game 2.
For three quarters, the Rockets looked like they had put Game 1 behind them, taking a 100-82 lead into the final 12 minutes.
Fran Blinebury, Houston Chronicle columnist: I had told one of the security guards at The Summit that it was in the bag at the end of the third quarter. I thought it was.
The fourth quarter was a nightmare for the Rockets, who only made one shot in the final 10 minutes as the Suns went on a 24-4 run to erase a 20-point deficit - the biggest fourth-quarter collapse in NBA playoff history at the time - and force overtime. Phoenix cruised in the extra session for a 124-117 victory and 2-0 series lead.
Blinebury: It was like watching a car crash in slow motion as they let the lead get away. I remember thinking, "This can't really be happening again. Another Houston choke?"
Falkoff: To have a full house and to play great for most of the game and to let it get away, it was just a sense of anger, bewilderment and shock all in an emotional ball is the way I remember it.
Matt Thomas, Rockets public-address announcer: I remember the roof close to being blown off in each of the games. Game 1 was a lot of "we got this" followed by "what is going on?" Game 2 was more "please don't let this happen again ... oh my God, it's happening again."
One thing that must be taken into account is the media landscape in May 1994. Houston, like many major cities, had multiple newspapers. The Chronicle and Post were fierce competitors until the latter's demise in April 1995, but Chron.com didn't launch until 1997, meaning the print product was the primary vehicle for news. The city was still months away from its first all-sports radio station. Also, there wasn't the access to watching games as there is now. TNT's telecast of Game 2 was blacked out in a 35-mile radius of Houston and only available locally via pay-per-view.
Falkoff: Back in 1994, at 6 a.m. people were scrambling to find the newspaper. That's where they got the news. Now, you can just get your phone whenever and find out things. Back then, those kinds of headlines stuck with people more than they do now.
After the Rockets completed their collapse and fell into an 0-2 hole, reporters and editors went to work on tight deadlines following an overtime game. The Chronicle and Post each had multiple reporters on site.
Reid Laymance, Houston Chronicle deputy sports editor: I was at the game as the on-site editor for the Chronicle. We worked in a small room underneath the stands at the Summit. We didn't have cell phones yet but the workroom had a few phones we shared.
Even though it had been over a year since the Oilers-Buffalo game, that was still in our minds. As the Rockets blew it, Fran Blinebury started writing his column. The Oilers-Bills, The Cougars-N.C. State, this game ... Choke City, he wrote.
Blinebury: Choke City summed up everything. Reid Laymance and I were together in the media work room right after the game. We looked at each other and said "Choke City. That's it, right?" I told him I was running with that theme. In my column, I recounted the past failures by all of the previous Houston teams and the only question was, do we make it the headline?
Laymance: We had been doing our headlines in a bigger size and bolder typeface during the playoffs. It seemed like the natural headline. I'm not sure if I called it in to the office or went back downtown, but the headline seemed to fit the mood.
John P. Lopez, Chronicle staff writer: It was an era for the bold, one- or two-word headline in our department. Those types of headlines were commonplace. In fact, after Oilers games or other big games, a lot of times writers would call in or write in suggestions for the bold head. It was a conscious decision by (executive sports editor) Dan Cunningham and others to do it that way and it made for some great hard-hitting headlines. The style was typical. The blunt honesty, not so much.
Charlie Crixell, Houston Chronicle sports copy chief: As the sports slot (essentially, the producer of the section) that night, I remember that when the Rockets had their huge lead in the fourth quarter, we started preparing the page for a positive headline and design. Back then, the slot essentially designed every page in the section, including the cover, so that's why the covers didn't have the more polished look with a lot of bells and whistles like they do today.
When the game ended, I was still in composing when the type came out of the processor with "CHOKE CITY" at the top. I don't recall who came up with it or when, but when one of the printers waxed up the type and slapped it down on the bank to cut up and put on the page, all I could think was, "That's perfect."
Keith Kuepfert, Houston Chronicle copy editor: I didn't like "Choke City" because it was too negative, the other team generally has a hand in such comebacks. I wanted "Buffaloed" because of what happened to the Oilers.
Eddie Sefko, Houston Chronicle Rockets beat writer: The main thing I remember from that stretch was that the term "Buffaloed" had been tossed around as a possible headline, playing off the collapse against the Bills by the Oilers. But "Choke City" was clearly a better choice.
Blinebury: I give Reid credit for having the nerve to step up and use it in big, bold type. Yes, it was jarring. Yes, it was a shot right between the eyes. But I maintain to this day that it was exactly the gut reaction of every diehard Houston sports fan the next morning.
But the next morning, readers saw not just one, but two "Choke City" headlines as it also was the headline - with an exclamation point - in the final edition of the Post.
Dan Cunningham, Houston Chronicle executive sports editor: I was in the stands that night, so I did not see the headline until the next morning. I didn't like the headline because I don't like the word "choke" and considered it a bit extreme. I liked it even less when I saw that the Post had the same headline.
Surprising would be putting it mildly. I can't ever remember that happening again in my 43 years with newspapers, where both papers used the same exact headline.
Falkoff: I had no input into it. Obviously, as a reporter you're just trying to get your story in. I'd never seen it before. A variation maybe of a headline, but to see the very same headline, it was something I'd never seen. Back then, most cities, if not all of them, were two-paper towns so you'd pick up both papers and I can't recall ever recall seeing the same headline exactly in both papers. It was almost as shocking as the game itself.
Crixell: When we later learned that the Post had the same headline, it just reaffirmed that thought in all of us – it had to be perfect if two entirely different sports copy desks came up with the idea independently of each other.
The wounds from the Oilers' collapse in Buffalo during the 1992 NFL playoffs were still fresh by the time the Rockets blew the first two games against the Suns in 1994.
Cunningham: Reaction was immediate — and strong. Most people were critical, but obviously a large segment of the fan base felt the same way after that game. The headline was not typical of the Chronicle at the time, and certainly it was a culmination of the frustration that had built up in Houston over the years — especially in the wake of the Oilers' historic collapse in Buffalo.
Lopez: The biggest misconception about the Choke City headline, especially for younger or new Houstonians, is that it was about that Game 2 loss to Phoenix. That headline merely was the exclamation point to the worst, most bizarre decade of sports this city ever has seen. This city's sports fans were collectively battered and beaten and resigned to ultimate failure - and probably in the most painful of ways.
Losing the first two games to the Suns, including a 20-point fourth-quarter lead at home? For Houston fans, that was child's play. The headline could just as well have been: "No Surprise."
McClain: Houston fans were conditioned for the worst. They expected the worst and couldn't realistically hope for the best. No lead – whether in a game or series – was safe.
Falkoff: I think it reminds me of this old movie "Network" with the line "I'm mad as hell and I can't take it anymore!" I think the headline writers reflected the feeling in the community.
Pallilo: I definitely recall thinking "that's not inappropriate." They did choke! Credit to the Suns but blowing a 20-point fourth-quarter lead at home was a palpable, absolute Rocket choke job. ... The natives were several levels beyond restless. Down 0-2 essentially no one was thinking what was to come looked viable. Everyone knew the door was open in '94 with (Michael) Jordan retired and then more so when Seattle was bounced in the first round. There was a lot of anger and exasperation over opportunity seemingly blown.
Thomas: It was very much here we go again ... will the city of Houston ever win a title? What did we as Houston sports do to deserve postseason failure again? I took a lot of "I can't take much more of this" calls in the early days of my radio career.
Rockets coach Rudy Tomjanovich (to the Houston Chronicle's Jonathan Feigen in 2014): I was thinking I was going to be part of Houston sports history as the dummy who got us into Choke City. I was surprised by the reaction in the paper, how big it was. It was the full page, the headlines. I thought, "This could be stuck to me the rest of my career." That was the thought that went through my head.
As for the Rockets themselves, they flew to Phoenix immediately after Game 2 and weren't around for the morning-after reaction. Before Game 3 in Phoenix, Mario Elie said "Everybody in Houston is saying we're a Choke City. Right now, that's appropriate." Elie even wrote "Choke City" on his shoes as a reminder. Maxwell said "I thought it was kind of funny." The Rockets then flipped the script in the desert, winning Games 3 and 4 to tie the series. They went on to beat the Suns in seven games.
Lopez: At the time, in the newsroom we didn't really know it had become the rallying cry for the Rockets. We only knew a lot of people over there didn't like it. I honestly don't remember hearing about a single fan complaining, until after the Rockets had completed the comeback. Like I said, at the time most fans probably expected nothing less.
Blinebury: The team reaction was interesting. They were stunned, shocked, embarrassed collectively and as a group expressed outrage. But I had great relationships with every player and coach in that locker room and I did not have a single one of them confront me in anger or to tell me I was wrong. Nobody in the media has had a better relationship with Hakeem (Olajuwon) and we talked frequently. He didn't call me out or challenge what I said. Not a volatile guy like Vernon Maxwell. Not Otis (Thorpe). Not Mario. Not Rudy T. They all knew what happened. They used it as something to rally round. It was fuel for them. It lit their fire. They could talk about the media in general or the doubters and then go out prove us all wrong.
In fact, the first time anybody in the organization said anything about it to me personally was in the final seconds of Game 4 at Phoenix when the Rockets had come back to tie the series at 2-2. (Owner) Les Alexander came from behind the press table at courtside, stuck his head right between beat writer Eddie Sefko and me and said: "Clutch City."
By the time the Rockets beat the Suns in Game 5 of their second-round series, fans had adopted the "Clutch City" mantra that owner Leslie Alexander coined after his team's Game 4 win in Phoenix. It lives on to this day.
"Clutch City" took hold after the Rockets defeated the Suns and then Utah in the Western Conference finals before downing the Knicks in a seven-game NBA Finals to win their first championship. "Clutch City" remains the franchise's rallying cry to this day and also is the name of its charitable foundation. And the headline that inspired it hasn't been forgotten.
Falkoff: It was kind of a knife in the back in the time, but the headline writers kind of woke up the team. They just weren't going to go out that way. (The headline writers) might've been the catalyst, who knows.
David Barron, Houston Chronicle assistant sports editor: It is interesting that the phrase had such an impact in a time of no social media and limited sports radio and that it continues to be significant to people years later. It helped, of course, that the Rockets won the series and that Les was able to pitch the "Clutch City" moniker as a replacement.
Laymance: I felt a little awkward the following year. My older son was a big Mario Elie fan so during the preseason, I took him to a Rockets practice to meet Mario. Mario was very gracious but I didn't quite feel like telling him it was my headline.
What's funny now is that the Suns' rally (or Rockets' choke, depending on your perspective) isn't in the record books anymore. Houston had led by 18 going into the fourth and by 20 early in the quarter that night. The record is now 21, and coincidentally I happened to be there. Working for the Boston Globe in 2002, I was the on-site editor for an Eastern Conference final game between the Nets and Celtics. Boston trailed by 21 entering the fourth and rallied to win, 94-90.
I wrote a short for the Globe that day, referring back to the Rockets' blown lead of 1994. The gist was don't get too confident after making a rally like that because as Rudy T said of his Rockets they had to be pretty good to get that lead in the first place. The Nets won the series, 4-2.
Lopez: I thought it was fantastic. Painful, but a fantastic headline. I mean, think about it: It will go down as the most memorable headline in the history of this city, for better and worse. It did its job.
Blinebury: It was the birth of a cause and a rallying cry and gave the entire franchise an identity. Sam Cassell, Mario Elie and Hakeem have all told me there would have been no Clutch City without Choke City. Nearly 25 years later, the Rockets' Clutch City Foundation still exists and does great work. By the way, at the 20th anniversary celebration (of the repeat titles) in 2015, Elie went on the record when we spoke: "OK, now after all this time, I can admit it. We choked."
I don't think there's any question that it's the most memorable Houston sports headline in history. Even all these years later, Choke City has a way of sticking in your, well, throat.
Fam I feel your pain. I want to beat those Warriors so bad - but HOW? They are stacked. Without our little general, I am losing hope.
"Houston fans expected the worst".
So...when the Rockets lose game 3, is it time to Revive "Choke City"?
Is this karma for Oilers-Bills '93?

From Tiananmen to THIS: The new world of Chinese photography
Written by Wilfred Chan, for CNNShanghai, China
Liu Heung Shing knows how to be at the right place at the right time. In 1989, that was Tiananmen. Then a photographer for AP, he remembers how other journalists went home as the protests dragged on. "I told them not to leave," he says. "They didn't listen."
Days later, the tanks rolled in — and Liu became one of a few to document the Tiananmen Square massacre, creating images that stunned the world.
Now 65, he's back in China for very different opportunity: An exploding interest in a new wave of contemporary Chinese photography that rides at the art world's cutting edge, while leaving out the politics of the past.
This photograph by Liu Heung Shing, taken in Tiananmen 9 years before the fateful student protests there, typifies the Chinese social documentary tradition that sprang to life in the 1980s. Credit: Photo courtesy of Shanghai Center of Photography
The biggest show in town
Liu, the founder of the new Shanghai Center of Photography (SCoP), is one of the featured guests at PHOTOFAIRS Shanghai, in its third year already one of China's largest international art fairs. The glitzy gathering attracts top galleries, collectors, and VIPs. Even the city's vice-mayor is there, posing with Liu for a photo-op.
Like many things in China, photography has a long history with the Communist Party, which dominated the country's image production for decades. Only in the 80s did a counternarrative emerge, in the form of politically charged art and documentary photography.
That was yesterday. Now, as China strives for recognition on the international cultural stage, its contemporary photography has mirrored global trends, focusing less on social reality and more on form.
To attract visitors, girls dance in front of Chongwen Tower in China's Shaanxi province. This social documentary photo by artist Peng Xiangjie was part of a series on circus performers in the country. Credit: Photo courtesy of Shanghai Center of Photography
Gone are the black and white, bleeding heart photographs of Liu's generation. What's hot are mixed media works that play with the physical contortion and transformation of images, approaching pure aesthetic.
'A new art form'
Championing this movement is PHOTOFAIRS' artistic director Alexander Montague-Sparey. "Photography needs to move away from memory to more abstract practices," he says. "Photography is becoming like painting — we're almost creating a new art form."

The British director sees Chinese photo artists as new global trendsetters. "They generally have a maverick approach to the medium," he tells me. "They're not trying to fit in as Western artists are."
He praises Wang Ningde, an artist who creates a composite of film negatives sliced and rebuilt into an "unnerving" sculpture-like work, that reveals itself only when light shines through. "I've never seen work like this being done in the West," he says.
The work has another advantage: It won't get censored. "Any kind of historical reference to Communism or anything too politically overt has to be controlled," says Montague-Sparey. "That's totally normal."
Blank walls
For its part, the Chinese government is eager to develop this new photography-art scene.
Ten kilometers south of PHOTOFAIRS, Liu Heung Shing's lush, light-filled Shanghai Center of Photography sits on a quiet plot. The museum is one of the pioneering institutions of an ambitious state-backed project called the West Bund — the name of a semi-governmental firm with a tract of land it hopes to transform into China's version of New York's Museum Mile.
According to PHOTOFAIRS representatives, sales this year were its "strongest ever." works offered ranged from $2,000 to $200,000, with prices averaging around $5,000-$15,000. Credit: James Ambrose
Like PHOTOFAIRS, SCoP aims to push photography in a new direction.
"China's government doesn't care if you want to manipulate photographs and so on," says Liu. "There's much more room to develop for artists doing photography, rather than photographers doing photography in traditional sense."
China's 'loneliest generation' finds solace in art
Liu introduces me to the West Bund's general manager, Gan Jin, who says the choice to open a photography center was pragmatic. "It takes time to incubate people's appreciation of art. I thought photography is the most blunt, fastest way. People don't have the patience for traditional mediums."
The suggestion is photography can jump-start the buying of art by China's new middle class — flush with cash and hungry for cultural entrée. Liu says it's "an obvious opportunity... people have so much private property. But you go into their houses and they still have blank walls with silly calendars."
The challenge is convincing people to buck up thousands for a photograph.
Montague-Sparey is still trying to educate cautious new buyers about editioning. PHOTOFAIRS does not exhibit any photo with an edition greater 25, guaranteeing each print's value. But it'll take time to "create and enforce the rules."
Meanwhile, foreign collectors are learning how to place Chinese photography into a tradition that's been dominated by Westerners. Montague-Sparey says he exhibits "canonical" works next to Chinese works to show a "progression." For example, the photos of Robert Mapplethorpe next to the sensual art of Yang Fudong.
'Absurdity, difficulty'
As the market has changed, so has the art.
Mimi Chun, the director of Hong Kong's Blindspot Gallery, has noticed a shift in China's scene from what she terms "export art" in the 90s, which heavily referenced Chinese culture for an outside audience, to new work using a "very universal" language. "I don't think you necessarily have to understand anything about China or Chinese to understand these works. Which is very different from the work that was made in the 90s.
PHOTOFAIRS Shanghai was held this year at the Shanghai Exhibition Center, a massive Stalinist neoclassical hall in one of the city's most high-end districts. This year, 27,000 visitors came to see 50 galleries from 15 countries. Credit: James Ambrose
"I'm not saying whether that's good or bad," she adds. "Just trying to draw a defining line about what's changed."
One of Blindspot's represented artists is Cai Dongdong, featured prominently at PHOTOFAIRS. Years ago a photographer known for making charged black and white images, Cai now uses physical objects like mirrors to transform preexisting photographs, a reflection of his discomfort with putting new images into the world.
Abandoned architectural marvels in China's largest ghost town
"It is now very difficult to distinguish Western and Chinese audiences," Cai tells CNN Style. "I have withdrawn the role of image-making to start thinking from the perspective of the audience, and to contemplate the absurdity and difficulty of accepting an image."
It's reflective of an important shift in China's visual culture — once revered, the straight photograph has lost much of its social meaning.
That may be because some images are still forbidden to be seen. Naturally absent from PHOTOFAIRS and SCoP are any trace of Liu's famous Tiananmen pictures — records of the past that remain the most elusive and unspeakable of all.
PHOTOFAIRS Shanghai was held September 9-11, 2016 at the Shanghai Exhibition Center. PHOTOFAIRS San Francisco will be held for the first time January 27-29, 2017 at the Fort Mason Festival Pavilion.

Q: jqGrid error message from server side exception I've added the following code for my jqgrid:
changeTextFormat = function (data) {

                return "Activity or one from the same price group already used";
            };
            jQuery.extend(jQuery.jgrid.edit, {errorTextFormat: changeTextFormat })

It works great for insert and I get the error message appearing in the top of the dialog.
However for edits it's not working so well. Instead a massive dialog is appearing with the error message.
I'm currently thinking that it's because I'm using inline editing so it has to pop up a whole new dialog. Is there a way to format this dialog better. I'm pretty sure that for the inline edits it's not even running through changeTextFormat after an exception.

A: It's correct. By changing of jQuery.jgrid.edit you set errorTextFormat only for the form editing. In case of the usage inline editing you have to use errorfunc parameter of the editRow.
You can easy see the difference between errorTextFormat and errorfunc parameter. If in the errorTextFormat you should return the error message which will be used in the error message, the callback function errorfunc should display the corresponding error message itself. If you want to have the same look of the error dialog you can use $.jgrid.info_dialog method. In the answer you could find the corresponding code fragment. See additionally the code fragment of the jqGrid source code.

Gentry Academy is located on the Vadnais Sports Center campus in Vadnais Heights, Minnesota.
Gentry Academy is housed in a 50,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility constructed in early 2017. It features four levels of space dedicated to holistic enrichment, including 22 active learning classrooms and learning labs. It also features a library and media center, student lounge, school store, full-service cafeteria with outdoor patio seating, conference room, office suites, nurses station, coaches corner, and a powerhaus gym and training facility.
For the calendar school year, Gentry Academy will integrate a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) Lab, donated by Gradient Financial Group, to inspire creativity and engage students for applied learning.
Classrooms are outfitted with Verb classroom furniture, an integrated collection of tables, whiteboards, and instructor stations that have been uniquely designed to support a diverse range of teaching and learning styles.
While traditional classrooms are designed to accommodate only one style of teaching and do not encourage student participation or engagement, our classrooms are specifically designed to foster an active learning environment.
We utilize Verb classroom furniture to promote interaction and engagement between both students and teachers alike. Not only do the rolling school tables make it easy to transition between lecture, discussion and individual work, but they also encourage group projects and learning. The Verb whiteboard further enhances collaboration by making it easy for students to share and work with a team.
Research shows that classroom furniture and tools can either help or hinder students' learning process, which is why we have created an environment that activates learning and motivates greatness at every level.
Learning labs are spaces where students can apply the concepts of traditional subject matter. They have been uniquely designed to allow students to connect projects to their core classes and provide an environment that allows students to explore lab-related careers.
Learning labs inspire entrepreneurship and encourage students to be creative and collaborate in areas across multiple disciplines. Learning labs further support the Gentry Academy philosophy of students discovering their strengths, pursing their passions, and creating a life-long path to success.
New for the calendar school year, students will enjoy a modern STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) Lab donated by Gradient Financial Group. Through the donation, Gradient Financial Group hopes to offer a place where students can be creative, collaborate and explore related careers.
Boasting a 10,000-square-foot facility for wellness and athletic training, Gentry Academy allows students to strengthen the mind and body simultaneously. Moreover, the gym was designed with the intent to accelerate all qualities of athletes, including their energy systems.
Student-athletes who focus on hockey also enjoy a synthetic ice shooting area modeled after top professional sports teams.
Vadnais Sports Center is a state-of-the-art sports complex featuring two NHL regulation hockey rinks and a 100,000-square-foot sports dome. Gentry Academy is the proud owner of the naming rights for one of the 85' x 200' ice rinks.
Two 85' x 200' side-by-side ice rinks are available at Vadnais Sports Center with spacious, modern locker rooms and seating up to 1,245 fans and 658 fans respectively.
The sports dome consists of the full dome space, which can be separated into five individual fields, which is perfect for Gentry Academy lacrosse student-athletes.
The ice rinks and sports dome makes the Vadnais Sports Center an ideal partner for all Gentry Academy practices and events.
The Gentry Academy athletic programs that require off-site facilities will be provided through Gentry Academy's partnership with Midwest Gymnastics, Keller Golf Course, and other Ramsey County facilities.
