Q: JavaScript HttpRequest always return the same results I have a HTML page  JavaScript which send a GET request data to PHP file to return all datas saved in the database . PHP replies with a HTML-table - that works fine!
But: When if i click a button (which calls the same JavaScript function) to update my table in order to display the new data, i get the same result (and i have definitely new data on table).
If I call the PHP manually via the browser it'll show me the new results immediately and at this moment it is also working with JavaScript (but only once).
Here is a part of my code.
HTML/JS:
<button onclick="GetData()"></button>

PHP:
    //DB details
    $dbHost     = 'localhost';
    $dbUsername = 'lalalala';
    $dbPassword = 'lalalalal';
    $dbName     = 'lalalala';

    //Create connection and select DB
    $db = new mysqli($dbHost, $dbUsername, $dbPassword, $dbName) or die ("UUUUPS");

    $sql = "select name, beschreibung, image, video from data";

    $result = $db->query($sql);

   if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
$return = '

Name	Beschreibung	Bilddatei	Video-Url

';
// output data of each row
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
    $return .= "
".$row["name"]."	".$row["beschreibung"]."		".$row["video"]."
";
}
$return .= "

";
 $db->close();
 echo $return;
 } else {
 echo "0 results";
 }

Thank you for your help!

A: It seems your browser is caching your result, that's why you see data.
You can test it like this:
var random = Math.floor(Math.random() * 100);
xhttp.open("GET", "../GetData.php?"+random, true);

If this helps, look into expire headers in your PHP script. Also, the way you're doing queries in quite outdated. It's a very PHP4 way. Have a look here: http://php.net/manual/en/book.mysqli.php

A: I guess you probably know this, but just in case. Have you had a look in your browsers inspector, when testing you html page? especially the network tab within that inspector. There you can see the actual response from the server and you can see if it is served from cache or fetched (you can even disable cache there), maybe this helps.
Kind regard,
Mark

The Gender Pay Gap report shows that the difference in median pay between men and women is 19.2% (2017:20.3%) but the difference in mean pay is slightly higher at 19.8% (2017:18.4%). Although the percentage of relevant males working on the snapshot date is 87.2% (2017: 87.4%) compared to 12.8% (2017: 12.6%) of relevant females remains similar to last year, there was a reduction of 19% for males and 18% for females that for reporting purposes met the criteria of a relevant employee . The high male to female ratio is a direct result of working within the engineering sector which is historically male orientated and, although the Company is championing female apprentices to fill future engineering and management roles, the take up by females is still disappointingly low as is the talent pool for experienced female applicants. However, the Company continues to focus on increasing the recruitment of female employees. The report has been based on the number of contracted hours worked but it should be noted that Managers and Directors work longer hours than this which is not included in this analysis. Such commitment is therefore reflected in their salaries whereas hourly paid employees are paid for all overtime worked above their contracted hours which is not reflected in the report.

The Arrogance of Turning Down $100 Million
Ryan Tate
Filed to: Foursquare
Charlie O'Donnell
Sometimes making a fortune is dumb, writes entrepreneur Charlie O'Donnell—which is why, O'Donnell adds, Foursquare will wisely walk away from a rumored $100 million offer from Yahoo. It's the sort of cocky move pioneered by companies like Twitter.
Yahoo Is Thinking About Buying Foursquare for as Much as $100 Million
Yahoo's M&A deal-makers are deciding right now whether or not to buy super-hot…
The idea that an annoying, unprofitable social network like Foursquare would turn down $100 million, a not-so-small fortune, is inspired in part by Twitter's 2008 rejection of a $500 million offer from Facebook. Twitter had no revenue at the time, but the microblogging service thought it was on the verge of becoming a veritable gold mine. Facebook, in turn, rejected a $900 million bid from Yahoo for similar reasons. Both startups may well prove themselves prescient, but their arrogance shouldn't be copied: Even for a hot startup-of-the-moment like Foursquare, it's usually best to take the money and run.

Supreme Court of the Philippines
Leonen: No-contact apprehension causes 'wealth transfer' from drivers to LGUs
Jan 24, 2023 10:55 PM PHT
Jairo Bolledo
TRAFFIC. Commuters and motorist back from the Undas long weekend break stand in a long queue to catch a ride to work at the Edsa bus carousel as heavy traffic builds up during the morning rush hour on November 2, 2022.
Jire Carreon/Rappler
Senior Associate Justice Marvic Leonen points out that an audit of algorithms and biases of systems might be necessary
MANILA, Philippines – During the continuation of the oral arguments against the no contact apprehension policy (NCAP) on Tuesday, January 24, Supreme Court (SC) Senior Associate Justice Marvic Leonen asked whether it will result in an unjust "transfer of wealth."
"…when you do away with all law enforcers, this is retrenchment of a lot of people and lots of families will not have their income. Where does the income go? It goes to Qpax. It goes to the owner of Qpax," Leonen said, referring to Qpax Traffic Systems, with whom various local government units (LGUs) in Metro Manila have existing partnerships or deals for traffic enforcement solutions.
Through the NCAP, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) and some LGUs in the country's capital, aim to enforce traffic rules using traffic management technology. This includes advanced camera systems operated by computer vision, a field of artificial intelligence.
"I don't know what the figures now are for an investment of P50 million at most. And cost of how much? So this is a wealth transfer. A wealth transfer of a jeepney driver who has to meet a boundary, and therefore panics every day, and therefore waits until the traffic enforcer waives them," Leonen said.
"And when they are waived, it's still the red light. And they are caught then they will have to go and experience the same thing that a justice of the Supreme Court experiences, except they are not justices, correct? So this is a wealth transfer, correct?" he said, adding that public utility vehicles like jeepneys and tricycles are the ones that use roads heavily.
Leonen was referring to the penalties being collected from the supposed violators of the NCAP.
During the oral arguments, Solicitor General Menardo Guevarra, who represents the government, particularly the MMDA and the Land Transportation Office (LTO), said the money being collected goes to a special trust fund. Portions of the collections go to the LGU and the service provider to fund the NCAP.
He also pointed out that the use of technology in enforcing traffic rules could be discriminatory and that an "audit of algorithms" and biases of systems might be necessary as these could adversely affect motorists and drivers on the road. It is wrong to assume that just because a system is computerized, it is impartial, Leonen pointed out.
The SC issued a temporary restraining order in August 2022, halting the implementation of the policy. The order stemmed from the petitions filed before the High Court, assailing the NCAP's constitutionality.
Leonen, during his interpellation, also noted that there are also other ways to prevent corruption using technology in the event the NCAP was declared unconstitutional. The senior associate justice said among the possible solutions could be turning the cameras from the motorists to the law enforcers.
"If law enforcers had body cams they were mandated by ordinance, by MMDA, or by law to wear body cams and not to put them off at any time that they are on duty, otherwise, they will have committed a crime. We would focus on who it is that is committing corruption, rather than burdening our poor taxi drivers who ply our routes every day, go through traffic every day," he explained.
Leonen added: "In other words, what I'm saying is, that's not a legal argument but I'm just saying there are other approaches where if we declare this as unconstitutional, they can use technology in order to also prevent the bad."
The continuation of the oral arguments was held more than a month since the first one was held on December 6, 2022.
Profiling, technology and 'impartiality'
Leonen asked one of the petitioners, lawyer Juman Paa, if he thought he was "profiled" by the NCAP system. The senior associate justice proceeded in narrating how he was profiled in every airport he went to when he traveled overseas right after the 9/11 incident.
"In the United States, the use of technology is now being challenged because it racially profiles. Based on crimes that are reported, when you passed on that data of earlier offenses being committed by those people of color, rather than those without color. And later on, what comes out of the black box is really that kind of bias," Leonen said.
During his interpellation of lawyer Carlo Lopez Austria, representative of the Quezon City local government, Leonen also asked about the system's bias. The senior associate justice asked if the LGU assumed that because the NCAP's system is computerized, "it is impartial."
Austria responded: "I believe that was the sentiment, your honor."
Leonen then said the LGU's assumption was wrong because the system's judgment will be based on the information provided to the system itself.
EXPLAINER: What is the No Contact Apprehension Policy and why is it being suspended?
"[It is] completely wrong even if you look at all the literature…. It depends on the information already inside, put in by the contractor, the basis for distinguishing a number 1, from a number 2, whether you take the plate number first, or the conduction sticker, correct?"
Comparing the NCAP policy to the traditional traffic system that uses the "human factor," Leonen said even the technology can be "biased."
"Even technology can be biased. Even the algorithm can be biased. So what do we have now? So we have the camera seeing, instead of a police seeing, the violation. We have the computer researching on who it is, rather than a police reporting to the LTO and looking for it, correct?"
During the oral arguments, other justices also raised various points on the contested traffic policy.
Associate Justice Japar Dimaampao raised questions about data privacy, particularly which entity will handle the data. Guevarra clarified that only the LTO has access to the data.
The question whether the penalties under NCAP and ordinances related to it are penal in nature was also raised. Guevarra, in defense, said the penalties are only civil and/or administrative in nature.
Chief Justice Alexander Gesmundo, at the end of the second round of oral arguments, said the parties involved are required to submit their respective memoranda within 30 days, non-extendible, starting Tuesday. – Rappler.com

Beavers hold off Colby threat-with audio
Scott City, Kan. (westernkansasnews.com)–Despite having five turnovers, the Scott City Beavers found a way to prevail, as they knocked off the Colby Eagles 28-12 in the GWAC opener for both teams Friday night at Darner Field.
After both teams started out with three-and-outs on their first two possessions, Scott City scored on two straight drives that started in Colby territory. First, a four play, 38-yard drive was capped off by a 12-yard score by Paco Banda. The second was a 21-yard pass play on fourth down from Trey O'Neil to Chantz Yager. A pair of Tim Bolle extra points made it 14-0 Beavers with over a minute remaining in the first period. Colby would strike back on the next offensive play. Quarterback Josh Matchell connected with Adam Giersch on a 53-yard pass play to make it 14-6.
In the second period, Colby would pull to within two on a 35-yard fumble return by Ben Matchell with just under nine minutes left before halftime. Their two-point conversion failed, and it was 14-12 Beavers at the break.
The first two and only two scores by Scott City in the second half seemed like vintage Beavers Football. A seven-play drive was capped off by a one-yard quarterback draw by Trey O'Neil at the 8:56 mark of the third period. Then on their next drive, Scott City capped the scoring off with under four minutes left in the third quarter on Banda's second rushing score of the game from two yards out. Bolle's two extra points made it 28-15.
The game turned out to be a little sloppy for the Beavers, but a win is a win. Scott City committed five turnovers, with four fumbles and an interception. Colby committed two turnovers. Brett Meyer made his first career varsity start at quarterback. He and O'Neil rotated in the first half, before we saw O'Neil take a majority of the snaps in the second half. Brayden Strine was limited in action due to an injury suffered against Abilene last week. Wyatt Eitel made his first appearance of the season, after missing the Abilene game. He played along the offensive line and limited reps at linebacker.
Scott City improved to 2-0 overall, 1-0 in the GWAC. The Beavers have won 16 straight GWAC games, and 26 consecutive league games dating back to 2007. Colby dropped their seventh straight game, and are 0-2 overall, 0-1 in Great West Activities Conference play.
Scott City hits the road for the first time this season next Friday night, as they face the Holcomb Longhorns. Holcomb suffered a 20-7 setback in Hugoton, and are 1-1 on the year. Game time is at 7:30 at Holcomb High School.

Watch Fin, A Therapy Dog, Comfort Sick Boy In This Heartwarming Video
By Ashley Maisano
Parents with sick children experience a struggle and pain every day that no one should ever have to go through or feel. Watching people suffer in any way is heartbreaking, especially when it's your own family member. Oftentimes, we feel helpless, like there's nothing we can do to deter their pain.
One thing that's well-known to help people in these situations are therapy dogs! Therapy dogs are specially trained to help comfort people during stressful times, and bring them hope, courage and solace.
Photo: Facebook/Little Things
April Rock's seven-year-old son, Jonah, is sick in a pediatric intensive care unit, and rarely ever communicates. But when six-year-old therapy dog named Fin jumped onto his hospital bed, the boy signed the word "dog" into his mother's hand. It brought her to tears as it was only the third time that Rock has seen her son sign something.
"Doggy," she tearfully repeated. "That's right."
There are therapy dogs like Fin who visit hospitals, courtrooms, schools, nursing homes, airports, planes, and any other stressful environments where people might need some extra emotional support. Multiple studies confirm that animals can help reduce anxiety and stress, and even provide other physical benefits, like improved heart and cardiovascular health.
Therapy dogs are particularly useful in a hospital environment, where these emotional creatures offer a calm, comforting bedside manner that instantly puts patients at ease. But Fin knew Jonah wasn't the only one in need of his services that day. After comforting the sick boy with cuddles and doggie kisses, Fin instinctively knew he needed to help the sick boy's mother, April, feel better too.
We hope this sweet boy feels better soon! We're so glad Fin was able to stop by during Jonah's hospital stay because, as you can see in the video below, dogs just have a way of making life's biggest challenges feel more bearable.
Watch the emotional moment between Jonah and Fin in the video below:

Household Food Security
Go Farming
Mechanisation
Youth Ambassador Programme
FarmSol realises the importance of empowering female farmers. Since its inception in 2016, FarmSol in partnering with South African Breweries have supported 397 female farmers, with the number of female participants growing annually.
The programme seeks to increase economic inclusion for Black women farmers, including youth, people living with disabilities, in local economies with a primary focus on providing expansion capital resources to farming cooperatives and individuals.
In partnership with FarmSol, South African Breweries supports more than 426 smallholder farmers as part of subsistance to abundance production with mentorship and production input subsidy support in the Eastern Cape province.
In an effort to uplift, mentor and train emerging farmers, the Go Farming programme has provided support to over 982 smallholder farmers across South Africa.
Planting over 53 000 hectares of South African staple crops such as maize, barley, sunflower, and groundnuts the – Go Farming – programme in partnership with ABInBev aims to put emerging farmers at the centre of sustainable development growth in farming.
Not having access to mechanisation and latest technology should not be a barrier to entry for new farmers. There are other proven traditional ways to gain access, through for example, pooling of resources to buy equipment and then sharing it between a group of farmers or a farmer renting it with or without service to gain the maximum financial benefit from the equipment.
Through collaborations to complement its mechanisation division, FarmSol partner's with industry stakeholders, to unlock opportunities that increase access to the latest available technology and mechanisation.
FarmSol Youth Ambassador Programme
With an average age of over sixty years, established farmers play a major role in ensuring food security in South Africa. It is, however, time that we bring the youth onboard for a fresh perspective and new approach towards the future.
In 2020 FarmSol launched a youth ambassador desk which aims to provide much needed inspiration and support to young aspirant farmers, especially black and female. This could be a long and lonely road but if travelled together with industry partners, success that guarantees our futures and those of generations to come is assured.

LONDON, Nov 15 (Reuters) - Fund managers are touting investments in "value" stocks, U.S. bonds and cash dollars in 2019 to weather an expected slowdown in global growth led by the United States and a possible pause in interest rate hikes.
As the impact of fiscal stimulus fades and trade tensions bite, concerns about the trajectory of economic growth have caused wobbles in financial markets and particularly technology stocks, which will see earnings hit next year, investors said.
Speaking at the Reuters Global Investment 2019 Outlook Summit, Carmignac Gestion Managing Director Didier Saint-Georges said investors should turn to dollars and defensive stocks, which are less correlated to the business cycle such as utilities and food and beverage firms.
Investors said the U.S. Federal Reserve could pause its rate hiking cycle with an economic slowdown, and the European Central Bank could backpedal on its 2019 rate rise commitment.
A pause in policy tightening would make longer-dated bonds attractive and spur buying of so-called "value" shares, which are stocks that tend to trade at a lower price relative to fundamentals such as dividends, earnings and sales.
Pascal Blanque, who oversees funds worth 1.5 trillion euros ($1.7 trillion) at Europe's biggest fund manager Amundi, said he was adding U.S. debt and high-dividend stocks to his portfolios.
"I think we have seen the bulk of the upward pressure on interest rates and the dollar," he said.
Funds investing across asset classes have had to deal with October's slide in global stock markets and pressure on bonds. This year a 50-50 basket of global stocks and debt is set for its first annual loss since the 2008 financial crisis.
Mark Haefele, global chief investment officer at UBS Wealth Management, said he was advising clients to allocate more funds to alternative assets, such as real estate, that did not move with bonds and stocks.
"Where there is a risk of upside surprise to inflation, there is a risk bonds and stocks will fall together and balanced portfolios won't work out that well," he said.
Valentijn van Nieuwenhuijzen, chief investment officer at NN Investment Partners who helps manage 240 billion euros ($271 billion), said selloffs in February and October showed technical rather than fundamental factors were driving markets.
He said he was investing in stocks such as Chinese and U.S. technology shares that were among the hardest hit when markets slid. "For our equity portfolios next year, we are more inclined to be positive than negative," he added.
Market participants said valuations were expensive, so disappointing economic data could trigger another selloff.
Stephen Jen, co-chief investment officer at London-based hedge fund Eurizon SLJ Capital, said his concerns included a pick-up in U.S. inflationary pressure that would, in turn, prompt a Fed response.

For the people of Dunboyne, Sean Cox represents all that's good about sport
Football fans don't need any reminding of that famous Bill Shankly quote. Football. Life and death. We all know how it goes.
It's become cliché over the years precisely because it resonates with everyone who puts their heart and soul into the love of a sport. It truly encapsulates what it means to place your trust in the 11 men out on the field, and their manager, and leave them responsible for your joy or your sorrow over the next 90 minutes or indeed longer.
It is a sentiment that strikes profoundly at what it means to be a football fan — and allow it to overcome all reason and sense in your mind, simply for the exhilaration and ecstasy it can bring.
Everton v Man City tonight postponed due to coronavirus outbreak
But every so often, after rare tragic occasions that are sadly not rare enough, Shankly's wisdom falls hard and falls flat.
The aftermath of Liverpool's spectacular 5-2 victory over AS Roma in the first-leg of their Champions League semi-final on Tuesday was one of those times.
While Mo Salah's wizardry, Bobby Firmino's industry and Sadio Mané's tenacity tantalised the Anfield faithful as they have done throughout a sterling season for Jurgen Klopp's men, an Irish man was fighting for his life.
Sean Cox, a 53-year-old from Dunboyne in Co. Meath, had been attacked outside The Albert pub beside Anfield and has been in critical condition ever since. Two Roma fans were subsequently arrested and charged with violent disorder and inflicting grievous bodily harm. Video footage from outside Anfield ahead of the game shows dozens of Roma fans with their faces covered, some armed, looking to start trouble amongst the home supporters.
Tributes and support have poured in for a man who has been described this week as a "community leader."
Cox is well known to the town of Dunboyne, having served as the chairman of his local GAA club — St Peter's. Speaking to JOE, the club's current chairman Fergus McNulty spoke of the shock that has hit the town.
"We're all shocked. We're very lucky in Dunboyne to have a close community and Sean has been prominent through the years. He's a community leader. The overriding feeling is one of shock, of trying to process it."
Paul Merson rants about how Leeds fans should be furious at 'Bielsa ball'
McNulty spoke about his predecessor in glowing terms, saying, "He's hugely popular, very much a part of Dunboyne life. It's a small community so I'd say his base of friends, they extend right across, not just in GAA circles. He's in the athletics club, he plays golf. Hugely popular."
Outlining Sean's role ever-present role in the town, McNulty said "Sean was the previous chairman of St. Peter's but he was also club secretary before that, and he's currently the club treasurer. He's an integral part of a club with more than 700 players. He's been a key leader in helping to develop the club down through the years."
McNulty, who has worked closely with Cox for 10 years, spoke of the town's great respect for Cox's qualities. "He's a very quiet guy but determined, he's the director of a company, very capable. People respect those qualities. He's typically somebody whose main interest is trying to help others and in our case make the GAA club a better club."
"He'd be hugely popular, very much a part of Dunboyne life. It's a small community so I'd say his base of friends, they extend right across… not just in GAA circles. He's in the athletics club, he plays golf. Hugely popular man."
A statement from Cox's family reads: "We want the world to know that Sean is the most amazing and wonderful husband, dad, friend, son, uncle, and brother and he has brought us all nothing but joy. We are completely devastated by what has happened to our lovely, caring, Sean and all we want is for him to come home to his loving wife and three children."
Horrific F1 crash sees driver emerge unscathed with car engulfed in flames
In a testament to Cox's standing in his community, more than €35,000 was raised in less than 24 hours through a GoFundMe campaign set up in order to cover Cox's medical costs.
It was Cox's love of football and his love of Liverpool that took him to Merseyside on Tuesday, buzzing with expectation and hope for the night ahead.
"He loves Liverpool, he is a frequent visitor to Anfield. It's one of his passions. It was something he would have been greatly looking forward to," McNulty says.
Of course, the night delivered on its promise and the tireless work of Liverpool's players saw the Anfield atmosphere reach its infernal best. A 15 minute ambulance drive away, Sean Cox's family now sits by his bedside. It is a scene as far removed from the highs and lows of football as one can imagine.
Bill Shankly's quote sounded good, but he got it wrong. Only the worst treat football as a matter of death, an excuse to unleash their cruellest demons in a space where so many have gathered to celebrate what they love. Football is only a matter of life — something to breathe in, to savour, and to live for.

Q: An understanding of a sentence - much + adverb You're driving much fast.
Does the sentence make sense to you, native speakers? I am wondering whether I could use "much" alone to modify an adverb.
If the sentence make sense, does it mean "you are driving very fast"?

A: You're driving much fast.
The sentence isn't correct grammatically.
You cannot use much in the structure of much + adverb. However, you can use it as an adverb in the form of much + a comparative or superlative adverb or adjective.  For example:
You're driving much faster.
You can also use the phrase "much too" in front of an adverb. (Do not confuse with too much, which is used before a noun)  For example:
You're driving much too fast.

A: It may not look proper with 'much'.
Because, we generally use 'much' as an adjective and 'very' as an adverb. Typically, in this sentence, you want to use 'adverb' i.e. How are you driving?
So, it's

You are driving very fast.

A: You can say "You're driving much too fast." You still need the 'too', but adding 'much' intensifies 'fast' much more so than simply saying "You're driving too fast."

Guide me through the Grateful Dead canon...
April 17, 2010 3:42 AM Subscribe
The Dead never took with me. Instead, I gravitated towards reggae, international and classic American R&B. Recently, though, I heard a bunch of Grateful Dead songs and was immediately smitten with their easy, country-rock groove. I purchased American Beauty. I love it and want to buy more, but am having trouble finding my way through the massive Grateful Dead canon. What are the must-haves? Which albums best represent different periods or evolutions in the band? Help me figure out the lay of the land.

If you like American Beauty then Workingman's Dead would be the next logical choice. The two albums are really a pair.
posted by fixedgear at 4:14 AM on April 17, 2010
Those are both great records, but in general, the Dead were less about "albums" than live performance. That said, and although many 'heads probably won't agree with me, I've found the eponymous first album "Grateful Dead" (1967) interesting in proto-punkish-hippie way. Some of those songs were performed in concert right up to the end, and some disappeared never to be heard again.
posted by telstar at 5:16 AM on April 17, 2010
Not being snarky, I promise, but being guided through the Dead is a bit of an oxymoron. I'm sure Jerry would think so! Just grab the two mentioned here, and don't pay too much attention at first. It's like it's supposed to be in the background, you start to slowly hear it, and then there it is, all up in your ears, bloodstream, bones, so to speak. It kind of never goes away, either.

I agree with Telstar that to really appreciate the Grateful Dead, you have to listen to the concerts. Back in the day, this was accomplished by trading tapes of authorized and bootlegged recordings. These days, you can just listen on archive.org's Grateful Dead page.
I would point you to Grateful Dead Live at Barton Hall as a prime example of great live Dead. But you can find great concerts from the early 70s through the early 90s. The fairly recent article "Bring Out Your Dead" from the New York Times is a good place to start.
posted by McGuillicuddy at 5:51 AM on April 17, 2010
Starting fresh, I would work through the archive by year. The stream-only recordings (sound boards) start in 1966. Find a couple shows with lots of downloads, listen to them for a week, then move on to the next year.
My favorite stuff is when American Beauty and Workingman's Dead are fresh, in 71 and 72, but other people prefer 74.

Europe 72' and History Of The Grateful Dead, Vol. I (aka Bear's Choice). Both are brilliant and must haves.

Try "Wake of the Flood" and "Blues for Allah". Those are the next two best studio albums in my opinion.

Listen to the albums to get the gist of the songs if you like, but just go pick any Dick's picks and start listening...get an idea of who was in the band when, and who you're listening to and just enjoy. Dick's picks are all you need, though the live albums are really, really good too....you want anything live. Also catch a Phil show if you can, it's still really fun.....
Oh the good old days :) :) :)

Beauty and Working Man's are great albums but if you want to grok The Dead, it's really the live stuff that counts. The Barton Hall show linked above is really one of the best ever but most of the early to mid-seventies stuff is good. Raceway Park from 1977 is one of my favorites. They're all up on archive.org in for least streaming access, just dig around and start listening.
posted by octothorpe at 7:57 AM on April 17, 2010
It seems like Colin Meloy is also in your position. Recently, he was tweeting about getting into Wake of the Flood.
There is a Sirius Radio Dead channel, that pretty much covers everything, scattershot.
Also, in addition to the above, In The Dark was perhaps their most successful album, and lead to their rebirth in popularity. They were playing theaters, and often not selling out, before this album, and afterwards they were selling out stadia.
It is also quite good, recorded live in an empty theater then mixed.
posted by Danf at 8:48 AM on April 17, 2010
If I may add a bit here, there are a few fine points that can make understanding what you are listening to in a live show a bit 'easier'.
Typically, and believe me everything that follows is broad strokes, the shows are divided into two sets. the first set were often simply songs, catchy danceable tunes, or ballads, played through without much 'jamming'. Most often the frontmen, Bob Weir and Jerry, would alternate songs. Jerry mostly goes off on the songs he sings. Brown-eyed women would be an example. Cassidy is a good example of the contrast between a Jerry tune and a Bobby tune. Other members of the band have beloved songs, but this first distinction is important.
Next comes the second set. this contains more of the iconic jamming and melting of songs one into another and another and sometimes in and out and back again(when you see setlists or songlists for shows, these songs will be connected by arrows to indicate that there is no break between them). China cat sunflower>I know you rider is an example of this. second set tunes tend to be longer in form, contain much looser arrangements, and lead to the drum solo and 'space', the free-est of all portions of a show. many casual Dead listeners get lost or turned off by these moments because they are much more a part of the experience of a show itself than a fun or easy thing to listen to on a recording. feel free to skip this, or as others have suggested, just let it be part of the backround.
Most of the Dead's best songs are not on studio recordings, so working through live shows by 'era' will also show you how certain songs evolved and how the band changed.
Most of all ENJOY the ride.

I view the Dead as different bands in different time periods. I saw my first show in 1978 and my most recent two months ago. Obviously, with Jerry being dead, they are not the same band now, but I think they are sounding better than they had through the last 5 years of Jerry's life. I would actually start by downloading one of the recent shows from Furthur.net.. They are playing songs from their entire catalog of music. This will give you a great introduction to what songs strike you and then you can go to the time period when that song was written and played. I happen to like the early 70's from Europe '72 as well as the late 70's. I thought they were crisp and clean sounding. The early 80's had their moments too. And the late 80's as well. Ok, each era had its highlights. (I would avoid the '66-68 time period as being heavy on the organ and not so easy sounding, but that is a personal preference not shared by all.) I am also a fan of Bob's cowboy songs such as Me and My Uncle, Mexicalli Blues and Big RIver, but there is a whole swath of Dead fans who mock Bobby and his cowboy tunes.
The other thing I would do is simply put on the Dead channel on satellite radio. They play some terrific stuff. There is a talk show on Sunday's called The Golden Road and it is a treasure of information and musical direction. One other thing I found is that they are a great cover band. They play everything from the Stones, Dylan, Johnny Cash to Kris Kristoferson.
If you like the Barton Hall show mentioned above, they played a show at Boston Gardens a few nights before that is arguably a better show, just not as well known. One of the arguments about Barton Hall is that while it is a great show, (Scarlet->Fire!!) the reason it is so well known is simply that it was one of the tapes that was a sound board and was traded freely so more folks got to hear it. If Raceway Park (mentioned above) is Englishtown, it is a great show as well. THe Dick's Picks and From the Vault shows are usually outstanding shows. I tend to collect shows I went to and ones with clean sound from the 70's or early 80's.
For the easy country rock grove you described, the early 70's are it. After 20 years, I am just now starting to appreciate the new stuff from Touch of Grey. Throwing Stones live is a great song when Bob lets the audience sing the chorus, but the sound is different from their earlier stuff. I also love Terrapin Station.
Lastly, listening to all era's you can hear how certain songs evolved. Friend of the Devil went from a 3 minute single to a 15 minute sssllloooowwww song.

One more thing. . .Ace by Bob Weir is a Dead album, but with all Bobby songs. A lot of the later "canon" were first recorded on this record. Also, very good, and it highlights the difference between Weir and Garcia, as mentioned above.
Oh yeah, also check out JGB, the Jerry Garcia Band, they're releasing that stuff too, called Pure Jerry or something like that, killer stuff, same but way different.
Mmmmm JGB shows!!

I am a huge deadhead so I like it all. American Beauty was my first dead album, btw.
But the one album that all of my non-deadhead buddies universally like is "Reckoning". If you like the country rock thing, you can't go wrong with Reckoning. Dark Hollow, Jack-A-Roe and Deep Ellum Blues are my favorites on that album.
Get it, listen to it, love it.

Absolutely check out David Gans's syndicated radio show: The Grateful Dead Hour! He's been hosting it for over 20 years, I think. (And, DG is an awesome musician in his own right, I might add...)

I am of the opinion that the shows that were done in the Spring of 1977 were among the very best and you can get a good idea of what they are like from Dicks' Picks 4 and the Grateful Dead Download Series Volume 1.

Had to post as I thrilled to see the Raceway Park show as someones highlight. That was my first Dead show and I was 11 years old. I still remember it, sort of.
As has been outlined, the Dead canon is hard to decipher, there are many periods and many outstanding albums and of course thousands of live shows to enjoy.
But, the challenge was to pick some albums, here are my all time favorite studio Dead Albums:
Workingman's Dead
Wake Of The Flood
Mars Hotel
(and the two pivotal and clearly Dead albums)
Garcia (First Album)
My desert Island pick would be Garcia's first album, I feel it has everything to offer. The Workingman's influence of Deal to the space age groove of The Wheel.
Live albums would have to be Live Dead for me, one of the greatest moments of hte 20th Century was being able to listen to the CD and finally not be interrupted from the transition form side two to side three of the LP (The Eleven->Lovelight)

A long-dormant regulatory science program first established by the US Congress in 2007 is, for the first time in years, beginning to show signs of activity, indicating that it could soon begin to influence and enhance product safety as its founders intended.
The foundation, known as the Reagan-Udall Foundation, is a non-governmental, independent entity founded in 2007 as part of the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act (FDAAA).
Its creation came at a time of significant challenges for the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). A 2007 report by the agency's Science Board found huge, systemic problems at the agency that it said threatened to prevent FDA from accomplishing its mission.
The principal charges against FDA were three in number: Its scientific base was weak and eroding; it had insufficient regulatory capacity or capability to accomplish its mission; and the agency's information technology infrastructure was inadequate to accomplish its mission.
"The nation is at risk if FDA science is at risk," claimed the report, and then-present deficiencies were only likely to grow in response to increasing demands on the agency and increasing resource constraints.
Scientific advancements, in particular, were highlighted as being one source of extraordinary pressure on the agency. "FDA's inability to keep up with scientific advances means that American lives are at risk," the subcommittee wrote. "While the world of drug discovery and development has undergone revolutionary change - shifting from cellular to molecular and gene-based approaches - FDA's evaluation methods have remained largely unchanged over the last half century."
"Due to constrained resources and lack of adequate staff, FDA is engaged in reactive regulatory priority setting or a fire-fighting regulatory posture instead of pursuing a culture of proactive regulatory science," continued the subcommittee.
Though that report came out several months after the September 2007 passage of FDAAA, its conclusions were by no means secret to legislators beforehand. A long-running series of problems at the agency had made clear that changes needed to be made, and legislators seemed compelled to act.
Reagan-Udall is aimed squarely at one of the main findings of the report: That the regulatory capabilities of the agency were insufficient for it to accomplish its mission of getting safe and effective drugs to the public.
As explained in April 2012 by National Public Radio, "The idea was that this foundation could do things FDA can't. It would raise money from private sources, fund research in areas where FDA lacks expertise, and organize collaborations involving industry, patient groups and academia."
But congressional concerns regarding the influence of the life sciences industry on the foundation have prevented the organization from getting the funding it needs to effectively operate.
That funding situation seems to be changing, however. Thanks to a series of grants, including $150,000 in 2010 from PhRMA and $1 million from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and $900,000 from FDA's 2012 budget, the foundation is finally starting to show signs of life.
And that couldn't come soon enough for some. "I see it as really an exciting opportunity and one that we really desperately need to have in place, to have it up and running," FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg told NPR last year. "I think that we're already starting to see the benefits that it can offer."
Hamburg noted that one area in particular that could benefit from the Reagan-Udall Foundation is public-private partnerships, which could be useful in funding regulatory science initiatives that are useful to both industry and government entities alike.
There are other signs of life as well. The foundation has issued a public request for nominations to its steering committee on Innovation in Medical Evidence Development and Surveillance (IMEDS), a public-private partnership related to FDA's Sentinel Initiative that is intended to advance regulatory science and regulatory tools for postmarket reporting tools. The hope is to be able to "facilitate utilization of a robust electronic health care data platform for generating better evidence on regulated products in the post-market settings," FDA explained in the Federal Register posting. Three projects are already underway, it added.
The foundation is seeking seven voting members to staff IMEDS' steering committee, including two members of the pharmaceutical industry. The other five will include an academic, a clinician, a data partner, a patient advocate and a consumer advocate.
In addition, FDA announced that the foundation is holding its annual open public meeting on 23 May 2013 in Washington, DC. That meeting will allow the public to comment on various Reagan-Udall proposals, but few other details were provided in the Federal Register posting.
For now, it seems, the foundation will need to make sure it can secure its own future before it can better support the future of FDA, and new members and more public visibility seem likely to help with the former.


Nearly every person has traveling the world on their bucket list, so taking advantage of studying abroad in college is a great way to visit a new country! Luckily, there are plenty of different study abroad programs at USC that engineering majors can take advantage of!
The Viterbi Summer Overseas Program is a 6-7 week program offered specifically for engineering students during summer break. Students participating in this program can make progress towards their engineering degree by taking two major related courses while also exploring Europe. Every year the program is stationed in one major European city, which rotates between London, Rome, Florence, Madrid, and Paris. However, students also have the opportunity to travel around to different cities and even countries throughout the duration of the program. Check out the video above to see some highlights of the 2015 Summer Overseas Program in London!
Another unique way to go abroad is through the iPodia program, which is actually a class offered in Viterbi. USC students teams up with different schools from all around the world to form a global alliance! All of the students in a variety of countries take classes together by web conferencing, and work together in teams all semester long to tackle problems of global innovation. At the end of the semester, all of the schools gather in one country to meet up for two weeks of learning collaboration, as well as sightseeing! Past destinations have been China and Israel, and this semester USC students will be traveling to Germany!
Engineering majors can also take advantage of more traditional study abroad programs, and travel abroad for a semester or even a year. By working with the USC Office of Overseas Studies and your academic adviser, students can map out which courses to take, when to go abroad, and where they can spend their semester. Students have option to study abroad to any of the 30 different countries where USC offers programs with other universities, however most engineering majors choose to study in an English-speaking country. Engineering is already hard enough, imagine learning it in a foreign language! Currently Ally is in Australia and she is studying abroad for an entire semester.

Beverly Hills Cop III (1994)
Jon Tenney
I think "Beverly Hills cop III" was an extremely regrettable turning point in the nice career of one of the most talented and funniest black comedians Hollywood has ever seen - Mr. Eddie Murphy. Before it he used to be funny or at least much funnier. He appeared in the rather enjoyable flicks like "48 Hrs.", "Coming to America", "Another 48 Hrs.", "The Distinguished gentleman", "Boomerang" and of course "Beverly Hills cop I & II" - two beloved movies that will always be his very best works.
Then someone decided to add part three in the so far terrific "Beverly Hills cop" saga. This time Axel Foley was on the mission of revenge and the comedy was unfortunately replaced by action. Who forgot that most of the glamor behind these movies came directly from the humor? Even though John Landis - the man behind hit comedies like "The Blues Brothers" and "Three Amigos!" - sat in the director's chair the end result just wasn't that funny anymore or at least it was funny very rarely and that's a bad thing if we compare part three to its absolutely hilarious precursors. ...and as it happened, after "Beverly Hills cop III" Eddie Murphy got roles from the movies like "Vampire in Brooklyn" (with only couple of excellent scenes), "Metro" (that apparently wasn't supposed to be funny in the first place), "Doctor Dolittle" (cute little film for kiddies who love furry animals that talk), "Holy man" (interesting but more confusing than amusing) and "Nutty Professor II: The Klumps" (definitely one of his worst movies, waste of his undisputed talents and a model example of a comedy that doesn't make you laugh).
Lately I saw "Life" and surprisingly it was pretty brilliant and alongside with fairly good "Bowfinger" it's the only completely clear exception in this course. What I'm saying is, "Beverly Hills cop III" started it all. Was it all just a coincidence or was it meant to be that Eddie Murphy's best years were in the 80's and early 90's? I can't tell. This is just the way I see things.

A teenage kid was arrested and suspended from school after saying he will shoot up his school because Lil Uzi Vert has not dropped Luv Is Rage 2.
This was obviously looked into by authorities and they later arrested the 16-year-old and he was charged with "false reports of hoax/threats to do violence with a firearm to a school" according to Complex. Along with that, he was of course suspended from his school. The post was more than likely a joke and taken as a joke by people but saying stuff like this, even if it is a joke can get you in serious trouble.
As of now, Lil Uzi Vert's Luv Is Rage 2 has no set release date but is on the way and dropping this year.

AFC South draft grades: Texans closing divisional gap on Colts
Published: May 7, 2015 at 12:08 p.m.
Updated: May 8, 2015 at 05:42 p.m.
Former NFL player and scout Bucky Brooks is performing a division-by-division assessment of the 2015 NFL Draft, spotlighting notable picks and handing out grades for each team. Below is his review of the AFC South. (NOTE: Click on the tabs to see other divisional breakdowns.)
Notable selections
BEST PICK: Kevin Johnson, CB, Wake Forest
Houston Texans, Round 1, No. 16 overall
The Texans landed one of the most polished defensive backs in the draft in Johnson. The 6-foot, 188-pounder is a technician with exceptional footwork, awareness and instincts. Most importantly, Johnson is a versatile player with the football aptitude to make immediate contributions as a rookie starter in Houston. Given the need to snuff out receivers in a pass-happy league, having a premier cover corner is essential to building a championship-caliber defense.
MOST SURPRISING PICK: Marcus Mariota, QB, Oregon
Tennessee Titans, Round 1, No. 2 overall
It is never surprising when a team selects a franchise-caliber quarterback at the top of the draft, but it's uncommon for an old-school play caller to scrap his offensive system for a dual-threat playmaker with extensive experience directing a spread offense. The Titans' selection of Mariota thus counts as a surprise when considering Ken Whisenhunt's history with traditional pocket passers throughout his career. If Whisenhunt truly adapts his system to fit the skills of his young QB, Mariota could thrive immediately as the leader of the Titans' offense. Otherwise, he will be the latest spread signal-caller to endure a tough transition to the NFL game.
BIGGEST SLEEPER: T.J. Yeldon, RB, Alabama
Jacksonville Jaguars, Round 2, No. 36 overall
It's hard to call a second-round pick a sleeper, but Yeldon is poised to post big numbers as the Jaguars' feature back after flying under the radar for most of the pre-draft process. The 6-1, 226-pounder is a nimble runner with exceptional balance, body control and vision. Moreover, he is a dynamic playmaker capable of delivering impact plays on runs and short passes. With Jacksonville intent on alleviating the burden on second-year pro Blake Bortles at quarterback, Yeldon could become the focal point of the Jaguars' game plan, despite his rookie status.
Team grades
NOTE: Draft hauls are ranked from best to worst within the division.
1) HOUSTON TEXANS: The Texans deserve kudos for executing a draft strategy that allowed them to land three players who carried first-round grades on various boards across the league. Kevin Johnson and linebacker Benardrick McKinney are pegged as immediate starters. Both guys bring solid skills and impressive football IQs to the table, and the Texans' highly regarded defense shouldn't skip a beat with a pair of youngsters occupying key roles in 2015. Jaelen Strong gives the team a big-bodied pass catcher to line up opposite DeAndre Hopkins. He should blossom into a red-zone threat for the Texans and give Ryan Mallett or Brian Hoyer a nice target to pinpoint in critical moments. Overall, the Texans' draft haul puts them in position to overtake the Colts as the top team in the AFC South. GRADE: A
2) JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS: It's unfortunate that the Jaguars' production on the field hasn't matched their talent acquisition under general manager David Caldwell and coach Gus Bradley to this point, but the team is certainly headed in the right direction, based on the solid roster rebuild. The exceptional retooling continued with the addition of Dante Fowler Jr. to anchor the defense on the edges. A hard-nosed, energetic playmaker with disruptive skills, he can deliver impact production as a first-year starter. Offensively, the Jaguars continue to add pieces that will help quarterback Blake Bortles thrive as a playmaker. T.J. Yeldon is an electric feature back with exceptional skills as a runner/receiver. He will team with fellow rookies A.J. Cann (guard) and Rashad Greene (receiver) to boost a promising young offensive nucleus in Jacksonville. Keep an eye on safety James Sample and defensive tackle Michael Bennett as underrated prospects who could develop into key contributors. GRADE: A-
UPDATE: Fowler tore his ACL during rookie minicamp practice on Friday and will miss the entire 2015 season.
3) TENNESSEE TITANS: The Titans are ushering in a new era after selecting Marcus Mariota with the second overall pick. The Heisman Trophy winner gives the team an athletic playmaker with a high football IQ and underrated leadership skills to build around at quarterback. Although Tennessee will need to tweak its offensive philosophy to suit Mariota's talents, it is hard to fault the team for gambling on a touchdown maker with exceptional intangibles. Dorial Green-Beckham is a wild-card selection with extraordinary potential. DGB is arguably the most talented pass catcher in the draft, but a string of off-field incidents makes him a character risk. If he makes wise choices away from the facility, Green-Beckham could give the team a dominant WR1 to build around. The Titans found exceptional value on Day 3 in Jalston Fowler and David Cobb. The hard-hitting backs give the Titans the weaponry to adopt a power-based ground game to support Mariota. GRADE: B-
4) INDIANAPOLIS COLTS: Based on how the Colts' defense got pushed around by physical offenses at times in 2014, the team was expected to invest heavily in defenders with immediate-impact potential. Surprisingly, the team elected to select receiver Phillip Dorsett -- instead of a marquee defender -- in Round 1. While Dorsett certainly adds speed and explosiveness to the passing game as a WR3, he is a bit of a luxury item for a team that already has T.Y. Hilton, Andre Johnson and Donte Moncrief in place. Cornerback D'Joun Smith, defensive end Henry Anderson and safety Clayton Geathers are expected to step into the rotation as young players. Although each is viewed as a developmental prospect, the Colts need their young players to make an impact right away. GRADE: C

Alabama fan who poisoned Auburn trees increases restitution
OPELIKA — The University of Alabama fan convicted of poisoning Auburn University's landmark oak trees has increased his restitution payments since prosecutors threatened to have him jailed, court records show.
One-time Texas state trooper Harvey Updyke has made $3,330 in court-ordered payments since an October hearing on whether he should be arrested, according to circuit court payment records.
The amount is nearly half as much as Updyke had paid previously since 2013 after pleading guilty to poisoning the oaks at Toomer's Corner.
The increased payments came as Lee County Circuit Judge Jacob Walker considered whether to have Updkye jailed for failing to pay about $800,000 in restitution for killing the trees with herbicide.
Updyke previously claimed in videos posted online that monthly expenses including rent were going up. But records show he made his largest payment of $1,266 on Nov. 6, and this month he made two payments of $399 each.
Updyke lives in Louisiana and failed to show up for a hearing about the payments held in Opelika on Oct. 30. A letter from Updyke's doctor said the 71-year-old man was too ill to attend, and court records show Updyke most recently used a hospice and palliative care facility for a return address.
Updyke served more than 70 days in jail after admitting to poisoning trees at Toomer's Corner, where Auburn fans traditionally rolled the trees with toilet paper after a win.

"I found myself one midnight wholly sleepless as the surges of a cruel injustice swept over me, and the love which covers seemed to have crept out of my heart. Then I cried to God in al agony for the power to obey His injunction, 'Love covereth'.
"Immediately the Spirit began to work in me hte power that brought abouot the forgetfulness.
"Mentally I dug a grave. Deliberately I threw up the earth until the excavation was deep.
"Sorrowfully I lowered into it the thing which wounded me. Quickly I shovedled in the clods.
"Over the mound I carefully laid the green sods. Then I covered it with white roses and forget-me-nots, and quickly walked away.
"Sweet sleep came. The would which had been so nearly deadly was healed without a scar, and I know not today what caused my grief."


Jennifer Berry Teague established herself as one of the Metroplex's premier aestheticians over the course of a 15-year career. Much of her success came from the unique affinity she displayed for clients' skincare needs. As a burgeoning client base became more and more impressed with Jennifer's expertise, requests poured in for product recommendations and daily skincare advice. Jennifer, dedicated to her clients' satisfaction, intensely researched available products to offer the best recommendations possible. To her surprise, she discovered that many luxury skincare lines relied upon chemical fillers and synthetic additives. Faced with a dearth of choices she could recommend with confidence, Jennifer began to formulate her own all-natural and organic products.

Highlights from (e)merge: the gallery platform
(e)merge kicked off with a preview and poolside party on Thursday evening. Featuring two platforms, one for galleries and the other for unrepresented artists, the fair occupies the first three floors of the Capitol Skyline Hotel as well as the lower level parking garage. I took a look around the gallery platform on Friday -- just about 40 exhibitors -- and will be checking out the artist platform on Saturday. My report on the galleries, with lots of images, after the jump. - Matthew Smith, DC Contributor
Bathroom installation by Andy Moon Wilson, at Curator's Office
Curator's Office brought a couple of faces that are familiar to the blog -- Atlanta-based husband-and-wife Andy Moon Wilson (NAP #45) and Jiha Moon (NAP #63, #70, #82). Some of Moon Wilson's work comes from his last show at Curator's, which he discussed with us earlier this year. And Jiha Moon presents her characteristic technicolor works on canvas and paper -- we got a peak inside her studio this past January.

Chicago-based gallery monique meloche is featuring the work of a pair of artists, including a couple of eye-catching pieces by Kendell Carter. One of them is from the artist's "drip paintings" and the other from his "painting constructs." Carter's sculptural use of materials in two-dimensional works was surprisingly unusual at (e)merge, but no doubt a welcome addition.

Some galleries were more adventurous and have turned their spaces over to individual artist projects. Heiner Contemporary, whom we spoke with last summer, focuses on Avery Lawrence. And Solas Nua, a D.C.-based non-profit that promotes Irish artists working in the U.S., features the work of Dublin native and current MICA MFA candidate Bart O'Reilly, whose installation is as rugged as Avery's is fanciful.
