When you need to choose a personal injury attorney, you may wonder exactly what qualities to look for. This person will, in many ways, hold your fate in their hands by representing you. Many attorneys will have great reputations, but how does that impact you? There are many different types of attorneys, and while some may seem right, others of the same type can be wrong for your case. In order to choose the best personal injury attorney, look for the following qualities.
Attorneys can be intimidating people, especially trial attorneys and litigators. These professionals are accustomed to making strong arguments and appearing larger than life in the courtroom. However, don't let these qualities push you into something in which you do not feel comfortable. A good attorney should work to put you at ease while representing you and your case. Your personal injury attorney should recognize the reasons for your case and put you first, rather than their reputation as an aggressive lawyer.
An attorney that focuses on your needs will go far in putting you at ease. Having a good relationship with your personal injury attorney is also one of the most important aspects of working with these professionals. You are trusting this person with your future, so building a connection with your attorney will allow them to represent you successfully.
Your personal injury attorney must also trust you. Your attorney will create arguments and present facts to the court that you tell them. The attorney-client relationship is built on trust. You have to trust that your personal injury attorney is doing everything they can and the attorney must trust you.
Your personal injury attorney will work on your case with many people at their firm. You should pay attention to everyone who is working on your case. Find out how your attorney works with their team and their peers. Speak with other attorneys and staff and see how they interact with one another. Attorneys rely on their paralegals and secretaries to ensure that dates are recorded, paperwork is filed, and errors are caught. These professionals are the last line of defense between you and an error on trial paperwork.
Attorneys can occasionally be guilty of pushing their clients into a strategy that the client may not appreciate. A lawyer may be aggressive not because they are trying to manipulate the client, but because the trial might result in a larger win. However, you don't always need the biggest win. Sometimes it is in your best interest to accept a settlement, rather than lose your case because of a harsh attorney.
Running a case through trial can also mean it will be years before you see any of your compensation. Settlement and other alternative dispute mechanisms can result in more money and you will get it faster. However, your personal injury attorney should present you with all of your options, without pushing you into any one choice.
A good test to judge integrity is to ask the personal injury attorney to discuss their fee structure and payment schedules. Attorneys work hard and they deserve to be paid, but those payment plans must be transparent and open. Your personal injury attorney should not hesitate to discuss their fee structure and if there are any possible discounts. Fees and payments are something that you can discuss during your first meeting.
It is important for everyone who is injured to understand their right to compensation. Having the advice of an experienced personal injury attorney can help.

I started Everyday Rosé Events when I was living in an apartment building. That meant my "flower studio" was on the third floor at the very end of a long hallway. Whenever I bought flowers for a client, I would unpack my car, put as many buckets as possible on a luggage cart, ride the elevator to the third floor, then cart everything down to the end of the hallway. I'd repeat that process usually three or four times to get everything up. And then once things were arranged, they went back down the same way. None of it made sense, and it was never convenient or easy.
From there I moved in with a friend who so graciously allowed me the use of his basement. I'd unpack my car one bucket at a time, taking them through the living room and kitchen to the basement stairs, up and down and up and down.
After that, I moved to my own apartment - a second floor unit because I am a glutton for punishment. Again, the flowers and boxes go up and down and up and down, around a narrow corridor and into my kitchen. There were always flower petals and leaves lying around in every room of the apartment. One time I found a boutonniere pin in my bed. Another floral designer once told me that whenever she starts to think her space is bad, she thinks about mine….
Why am I telling you all this? After four years of stairways and luggage carts and rounding corners and not being able to cook because flowers have taken over the kitchen, I FINALLY have my VERY OWN STUDIO SPACE. I will be able to host workshops and have clients come to the space. I did as much as I could, with as little as I had, for as long as possible. And now it's finally time to move on up!

Investigative report accuses Mexican president of plagiarizing law thesis
A spokesman for Peña Nieto admits there were "errors in style like quotes without inverted commas"

Una investigación acusa al presidente mexicano de plagiar su tesis
Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto plagiarized nearly 30 percent of his 1991 law thesis, according to an investigative report published on Sunday. Carmen Arístegui, a journalist who heads the news website Aristeguinoticias.com, published an article at the weekend accusing the president of plagiarizing the works of at least 10 authors, by failing to place fragments he copied verbatim in quotation marks or list the references in his bibliography.
Eduardo Sánchez, the president's spokesman, said Peña Nieto might have committed "errors in style such as quotes without inverted commas or the absence of references to authors he included in his bibliography." Sánchez added that he regrets the fact that this may now be of "journalistic interest."
Arístegui and a team of reporters discovered paragraphs in Peña Nieto's thesis that are identical to the authors' words
Arístegui, a well-known journalist who was dismissed from Noticias MVS in 2015 after she revealed that First Lady Angélica Rivera purchased a mansion from one of the government's largest contractors, says Peña Nieto plagiarized 28.8 percent of the 200 pages he wrote.
The Mexican president studied at the private university between 1984 and 1989. In 1991, he presented his thesis "Mexican Presidential Rule and Álvaro Obregón," when he was aged 25.
The article compares fragments of his thesis with the works of historian Enrique Krauze and University of New Mexico Professor Linda Hall, among others.
Arístegui and a team of reporters discovered paragraphs in Peña Nieto's thesis that are identical to these authors' words, copied without quotation marks. The article claims 197 of the 682 paragraphs in the thesis contained text that came from at least a dozen authors whom the writer failed to cite or include in his bibliography. The article says the president copied up to 20 paragraphs from a work by former Mexican President Miguel de la Madrid, Efe news agency reports.

Eduardo Sánchez issued a statement saying that Peña Nieto "complied with requirements established by Universidad Panamericana to graduate as a lawyer."
The investigative report comes at a time when the president is facing his lowest popularity ratings.
In 2014, Arístegui and her team also revealed that Mexican President Peña Nieto and his wife bought homes from two government contractors in what became known as the Casa Blanca scandal.

This day-by-day diary of Boogie's live, studio, and private activities is the result of three decades of research and interview work by Bruno Ceriotti, but without the significant contributions by other kindred spirits this diary would not have been possible. So, I would like to thank all the people who, in one form or another, contributed to this timeline: John Barrett, 'Fuzzy John' Oxendine, Barry Bastian, Bill Leidenthal, Brian Voorheis, Ross Hannan, Corry Arnold, Berkeley Barb, San Francisco Good Times, San Francisco Express Times, The Press Democrat, The Napa Valley Register, The San Francisco Examiner, Petaluma Argus Courier, and San Rafael Daily Independent Journal.
October 1967 (?)
Arguably the greatest San Francisco's rock 'n' roll band of the 60's who never released anything, Boogie emerged from a short-lived five-piece outfit called California Memorial Band. The story begins when Barry Lowell Bastian, aka 'The Bee' (b. Monday, March 29, 1943), a blues guitar player from Los Angeles who had played with The Boogiemen, Canned Heat, and Bobby Burns with the Boogie Band, moved to San Francisco in the summer of '66 to play with the Lee Michaels Group. A year later, in the fall of '67, Lee Michaels signed a recording contract as solo artist and informed Barry and the other members of the "Group" that they wouldn't be receiving any royalties because they were just sidemen. "The band was so offended by this statement that we walked out then and there," Barry recalls. At that point, Barry decided to form his own band and "I went to LA and brought up some old friends that were great players," he adds. The great players in question were a top session drummer called Michael Joseph 'Mike' Kowalski, aka 'Kilos' (b. Friday, July 28, 1944, Hollywood, Los Angeles, California), formerly of Pat & Lolly Vegas, Sonny & Cher, Little Anthony and The Imperials, Etta James, and a lot of others, two sax players called David Kenneth Rainer, aka 'Goose', and Asa Lee Crow III, aka 'Crow', and a bass player called Mark Ryan (b. Saturday, October 27, 1945). "Actually Mark came up from Culver City, the area west of LA, a movie making town," Barry points out. "He lived a few blocks over from me. We were friends. He had left for SF a few months before me." "So we put together the California Memorial Band, a great experiment with two electric horns, kind of a rock / avantguard / jazz approach," Barry adds.
CALIFORNIA MEMORIAL BAND #1 (OCTOBER 1967 (?) - NOVEMBER 1967 (?))
1) Barry Bastian (aka The Bee) vocals, guitar
2) Mark Ryan vocals, bass
3) Mike Kowalski (aka Kilos) drums
4) David Kenneth Rainer (aka Goose) sax
5) Asa Lee Crow III (aka Crow) sax
November 1967 (?)
Mark Ryan left the band (he went on to play with Country Joe and The Fish, Quicksilver Messenger Service, and Bodacious DF) and was replaced by Barry Bastian's new friend John Howard Barrett, aka 'JB' (b. Thursday, May 30, 1940, Winsted, Litchfield County, Connecticut), formerly of The Frantics, The Gimps, Dennis Jester Band, Pat La Rocca and The Modern Forum, UConn Marching Band, Turk and The Party Cats, Turk and The Bop Kings, The Fascinations, and The Ramrods. "About that time, I was not making ends meet in music, so I went to work at IBM to make some money," John recalls. "Sometime around then I met Barry. He played with Lee Michaels, and Lee's girlfriend shared an apartment with my girlfriend. So I saw him a lot and got to know Barry." "Barry's bass player left and I joined the band," John adds. "Now that was a wild band!!! Nothing like it. Pure power. We played only 2 gigs, I forgot where, no posters, but that band was a monster, it was outrageous! The sax players each had a Selmer Varitone so it sounded like 4 horns. I remember people were packed up against the back wall of the venue, staring in dis-belief." "We practiced at the Heliport in Sausalito, near The Ark," John also recalls. "Also at the Heliport in other rooms, were Quicksilver Messenger Service, Big Brother and The Holding Company, Ace of Cups, and others. Dino Valenti too. He lived on a boat anchored off of Gate 6 where The Ark was located."
CALIFORNIA MEMORIAL BAND #2 (NOVEMBER 1967 (?) - DECEMBER 1967)
1) Barry Bastian
2) Kilos
3) Goose
4) Crow
5) John Barrett (aka JB) vocals, bass
December 1967
The California Memorial Band split up. "We played a few gigs in Marin County, but had trouble keeping personal and living spaces together, and so the band came to a halt," Barry Bastian recalls. "We lost the room at the Heliport, and the Sons Of Champlin moved into that room. That is where the guys in the Sons and I became friends," John Barrett adds. At that point Kilos, Goose and Crow all moved back to LA (Crow will later play with the Silver Fox Band (with Barry Bastian again) and then passed away in the 2000s, Goose disappeared from the music scene, while Kilos flies to London to play with a blues rock band called The New Nadir, altough he return in the States few months later to play with The Beach Boys). "That left just me and Barry in limbo," John recalls. In fact the pair then decided to stay together in SF and, duly inspired by bands like Cream, Blue Cheer, and The Jimi Hendrix Experience, they started looking for a drummer to form a power trio called Boogie.
After a couple of months of researchs, it was Barry Bastian that finally found the right drummer for Boogie, a local kid called John Harold Oxendine, aka 'Fuzzy John' (b. Friday, July 19, 1946, San Francisco, California), formerly of Hair, The Yellow Brick Road, The Third Half, Chocolate Watchband, William Penn and His Pals, The Nomads, The Chasers, and The Majestics. "After about 2 months, Barry called me and said he found a good drummer," John Barrett recalls. "I started to call him 'Fuzzy' because they were both named John," Barry Bastian adds. "He didn't like that, but 50 years later, all those who love him still call him 'Fuzzy John'." By the way, the band also found a manager and backer called Robert Emory, aka 'Emerald'. "He was our first manager," John Barrett recalls. "Somehow he got us gigs, and gave us money when we were really broke. He then quit manager but there all the time. He was my best friend."

February 1968: The Ark, Gate 6, Sausalito, Marin County, California
The very next night after Barry Bastian called John Barrett to inform him about the new drummer, the newly born Boogie, without rehearsal, debuted live at The Ark as opening act for Buffalo Springfield. "At the gig, I was introduced to our new drummer, and his girlfriend (a good friend to this day)," John Barrett recalls. "I never met Fuzzy before, and I was worried because we had no rehearsal at all, and were going to play songs that Barry wrote. It went great, I was worried about the drums, but he did fine, he was excellent, like he had been with us for years." The Ark was an old converted steamboat (the Charles Van Damme, built in 1916) that shuttled commuters from Richmond to San Rafael for over 20 years. After being decommissioned and stripped of its parts, the old ferry sat landlocked, still sporting its paddlewheel, on Sausalito's waterfront, in the middle of the town's thriving houseboat community where, for example, the great late Otis Redding was living when he wrote his hit, '(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay' the previous August. Infamous North Bay restaurateur Juanita Musson housed her late-night diner Juanita's Gallery there for three years before taking her famous clientele and irreverent hijinks to Sonoma Valley. Fred 'Marti' Martinez and Frank McGinnis then bought the Van Damme, cleaned up the boat's interior, and by 1965 they turned it into a plush after-hours nightclub called The Ark. It was run on a somewhat ad hoc basis, scheduling shows between 8pm or 9pm and 2am and then from 2am to 6am (when breakfast was served), and occasionally weekend matinee shows from 2pm to 6pm. Although there are lots of nice posters and handbills advertising the shows it was in many cases either wishful thinking or word of mouth that led to the artists named being included. As The Ark rarely had the money to pay performers, they were all fed a complimentary Huevos Rancheros breakfast in the morning in exchange for financial compensation. As such it became very much an after hours club for some of the San Francico bands (notably Moby Grape - who also used it as a practice venue during the latter part of 1966 and made their live debut there). By the way, it was supposedly that same night, in the middle of their debut gig, that the California Memorial Band's former bass player Mark Ryan sat-in with the band and "he broke my bass speaker, a Fender Dual Showman amp," John Barrett also recalls. "The output transformer got cooked by playing with the cabinet unplugged. There is a safety for that if unplugged at the amp side, but not the speaker side".
Soon after their live debut, Boogie rehearsed together for the first time. "We had our first rehearsal at Burry Olson's Leather Shop at Gate 6 next door to The Ark," Barry Bastian recalls. "It was definitely a cosmic event and was no doubt the first blues / heavy metal / rock band to come out of the San Francisco scene. I was staying in a little houseboat just across the water from Burry's shop. That night I went off to bed while visions of success danced in my head. I was then awakened by a frantic call that Burry Olson's Leather Shop was on fire. I look out the window and it was ablaze. I just rolled over and slept, it was too much for my brain. The next day I walked over to the shop, JB and Fuzzy arrived about the same time. We walked through the ashes; pickup up drum rings and speaker frames, and came to realize what starting from the beginning really meant. We just looked at each other and said: 'Ok! I guess were a band'. We scuffled around for equipment to use. JB's Fender Showman was toast, my new TNT proto type amp that I had been using with Lee Michaels, was in the ashes, and Fuzzy's good drum kit was in meltdown. JB had some how scored a new amp, Fuzzy had his older set, and I had my old Fender Bassmen, and some driver horns that helped project the highs in the big auditoriums. And so we begin. We more or less put the band together with our first gigs at The Ark. We were then allowed the use of the Moby Grape rehearsal space at the Heliport in Sausalito, for which we were most grateful." "Burry let us set up amongst the belts, vests, and stuff he was making," John Barrett adds. "A few days later, someone called me from the Ark and said Burry's shop was on fire. Burned to the ground. We lost all amps (including my Fender Dual Showman), drums and other equipment. We had our guitars with us so they survived. Friends helped, Don Wehr had a music store and helped us get new amps and drums. I bought a custom made Sunn amp. Barry got a custom Sunn amp with 12,12 inch speakers. Then I got a Martin Guitar too. One of our sponsors, Bob Black, aka 'Blackie', gave me the $$ to get it. We also got another room at the Heliport and a great roadie, Bill Leidenthal. Next door was Blue Cheer, and across the hall was Electric Flag, next to them was the Sons of Champlin." "This was when Bill Champlin and I became friends," Fuzzy John also recalls. "Boogie and the Sons practiced at the same facility, and we saw each other 5 days a week."
Saturday, April 6 - Sunday, April 7, 1968: 'A Benefit', parking lot outside The Ark, Gate 6, Sausalito, Marin County, California
Boogie play at a benefit dance, which lasted from 10am to 8pm each day, to raise money for five persons still in jail following the recent drug raids in Marin County.

Also on the bill: Quicksilver Messenger Service, Ace of Cups, Freedom Highway, Phoenix, Pacific Flash, Morning Glory, The Smoke, Dino Valenti, Clover, Gail Garnett and Gentle Rain, and many more. "We had a house in Marin, next to the freeway so we could practice," John Barrett recalls. "After the benefit, I distinctly remember going to that house for more party. From there we moved to Fairfax in late 1968."

Also on the bill: Chocolate Watchband, Morning Glory. One show each day, from 9pm to 6am. It was supposedly when Boogie played at the Ark on Saturday that Barry Bastian was arrested for drug dealing. "We played at the Ark the night the police came and took Barry away during a break," John Barrett recalls. "That was the end of that gig, probably summer of '68, as it was warm outside at dusk." "The Boogie's unfortunate, interrupted destiny, came about as the result of two undercover Narks," Barry Bastian adds. "[In early 1968] they infiltrated the Gates of Sausalito, the houseboats, and other areas of Marin County, impersonating honest people, in other words, real hippies. At the time it was pretty common to purchase a few bags of smoke, pass a couple to friends for a little higher, and have yours for what you could really afford. The official forces called that dealing, bullshit then, as it is now. This friend got two from me, passed them to these two Narks parked at the Laundromat. The first rehearsal of Boogie was about two weeks later. One night, many months later, I got off our set at the Ark. I was out in the parking lot when I was approaced by these two guys, they asked if I remembered them getting some smoke from this guy Steve, and if I knew were they could score some bricks. I said: 'No', and that I wasn't doing anything like that. They walked away, turned around, flashed their badges, and off I went. The short of it is this. [After a trial in Marin Superior Court on February 7, 1969, on a charge of selling marijuana] I was asked to occupy one of their cages at Marin County Jail for 90 days [in late April 1969]."
Summer 1968: Rio Nido Ballroom, Rio Nido, Russian River, Sonoma County, California
"During a break, Fuzzy and I and [Fuzzy's girlfriend] GB and maybe [my girlfriend] Britha went out to the parking lot to the car to catch some air," John Barrett recalls. "As we were walking back to the roller ring, 4 or 5 guys came up and pushed us around a little. Calling us girls. We were in Red Neck land so it is to be expected. GB saw what was happening and ran inside and told Fred that some guys were bothering Fuzzy and I. Fred leaped down the steps and ran over to us. The Boys took one look at Fred and ran away. The look on his face was like, you have about 30 seconds to live, you punks. His scary look was clear that he meant it. 5 dead rednecks. Fred was a USAR Special Forces, green beret commando badass."

Boogie were announced to play a couple of sets on the first day (Saturday), one in the afternoon and one in the evening. "The day started out with wind and rain," Barry Bastian recalls about the band's first afternoon set. "The audience were so huddled in their make-shift plastic tents, that from the stage it almost appeared as some old tobacco road - depression era photo. My heart went out to them. But then things changed. Chief Rolling Thunder took the stage, he said: 'We're all going to sing a chant together that will roll back the rain.' That was a great moment. We had setup our gear, while all the crowd sang. As The Chief left the stage, the most miraculous thing happened. The clouds all rolled back, like the curtains of some huge theater, the light blazed through, then a plane flew over dropping thousands of leaflets, like snow from the Sun. I turned to Fuzzy, what should we play? Hit 'em with best we got. We launched into our version of John Lee Hooker's 'Boogie Chillen'. The crowd jumped up from the mud, and the party was ON." For their second and last set, they were supposed to go onstage around midnight, but it was running late and they wound up playing just before dawn (so it was actually Sunday). "The people were camped all around and campfires blazed," Fuzzy John recalls. "We couldn't make out people just the fires. As we played it began to get light and the campfires turned into people rising in their sleeping bags and dancing. The sun was up and we gazed at the multitudes of people everywhere. We were amazed and our set was over. I will never forget that playing for the sunrise." "I do recall watching Buddha introduce you, I can hear Buddha's raspy voice sayin...'Tha BOOGIIIIE!', and stood stage right listening as you did your set and the Boogie kicked serious ASS!," Brian Voorheis of Cleanliness & Godliness Skiffle Band also recalls about one of the band's performances. "You show nuf had it percolatin along! The Boogie were the baddest - loudest! I stood in the wings and witnessed you plundering the arcane depths of boogie blues. Pleased to meet you dudes at last - I became a fan that day, but never heard you again, which I profoundly regret."

Boogie #1, Sky River Festival, August 31, 1968 - from left: Barry Bastian, John Oxendine, and John Barrett
Thursday, October 31 - Saturday, November 2, 1968: 'Ball', The Ark, Gate 6, Sausalito, Marin County, California
Also on the bill: Initial Shock, Devil's Kitchen, White Lightning. One show each day, from 9pm to 6am. Although advertised, Boogie finally did not played on Friday night (November 1) because before their "after hours" set there was a fracas involving members of two motorcycle clubs inside the Ark, and a twenty-year-old local kid called Marshall Craig suffered scalp wounds (he was treated for cuts on his scalp after he was taken to the hospital). "I climbed up the kitchen ladder and got in a lifeboat hoping no stray rounds could go through 2 decks and a lifeboat bottom," John Barrett recalls. "Me and my wife went upstairs on the deck and got behind the pilot house," Fuzzy John also recalls. Deputies reported they found Craig on a couch at the Ark after receiving a report of a fight in progress at 2:55am (Saturday morning). Craig told officers that several members of the Hell's Angels and Gypsy Jokers motorcycle clubs had attacked him and apparently kicked him in the head, deputies said. Deputies said Craig told them he believed the reason for the attack was "because he would not show them that he was afraid of them." Craig did not know or would not say who was responsible, deputies said. The report of the fight was moade to deputies investigating a gunshot into a car near the Marin City underpass. The driver, Jesse David Thomas told deputies he heard a gunshot and his left rear window shattered. Two passenders, Marjorie N. Jackson and Edward L. Jackson were treated at Marin General Hospital for minor scrapes. Deputies said the shot apparently came from the Ark area. Unknown hippies told deputies firearms were involved in the Ark incident, deputies reported. No bullets were found in the Thomas car, deputies said. Anyway, the Ark was ordered close and occupants asked to leave. "Our gig never happened, the police made everyone go home," John confirms. Anyway, the police closed the Ark for just that night, so the next night (Saturday) the show happened as usual.
Thursday, November 7 - Saturday, November 9 or Thursday, November 14 - Saturday, November 16, 1968: The New Committee Theatre, 836 Montgomery Street, North Beach, San Francisco, California

Late 1968/Early 1969: The Ark, Gate 6, Sausalito, Marin County, California
"We had a steady gig at the Ark," John Barrett recalls. "Every weekend playing the 2am to 6am slot. Bands finiship up at the Fillmore and Avalon would come over after their gigs and jam with us. I remember one night the Grateful Dead came and brought all the Fillmore with them, about 300 people. It was so packed that I thought the Ark was going to sink into the mud forever! All the bodies rose the temperature up to 37 degrees (98.6F)! So hot that one of my callouses broke off my finger and the bass became very difficult to play. Where a nice callous once was, now was a sore red spot on my finger. There were very few posters, if any, for these gigs."
1968/1969: unknown school for girls, San Francisco, California
"They asked us to turn down," John Barrett recalls. "Our manager, Fred, said turn it up. Then the principal pulled the plug on us."
Tuesday, January 7, 1969: 'Tuesday Night Audition', Fillmore West, 10 South Van Ness Avenue at 1545 Market Street, San Francisco, California
Boogie, along with Allmen Joy, and Clover, played at one of the infamous Tuesday night series instituted by Bill Graham at the Fillmore West since the previous September. The series was called "Audition Night," and three local bands would play for a small admission fee ($1.00 or $1.50). The best of those bands would often open a weekend show on Friday and Saturday, sometimes even the next weekend. The Tuesday night series seems to have gone on almost every week for the life of the Fillmore West, excepting the summer of '69 when a six nights a week concert schedule was employed, as well as occasional nights when a big act would play a Tuesday. However, although the Tuesday night concerts are regularly alluded to, there are almost no records of which bands played. By my estimation, there must be approximately 100 Tuesday night Audition concerts, possibly more, meaning perhaps as many as 300 acts played the Fillmore West that we are not generally aware of. If the Tuesday night "winner" also played on each weekend, as appeared to be the case at least some of the time, then there would be approximately 50 or more acts that were part of the "main" Fillmore West schedule that we have no direct evidence of. At the very least, this fact explains the number of lesser known groups who claim to have played the Fillmore West who never appeared on a poster. There were no posters or flyers for Tuesday night show, and the band "added" to the weekend gig was not on the poster, as the artwork had been done and the posters distributed considerably earlier. The Tuesday night Audition shows did not have posters or flyers that I am aware of, with occasional exceptions. There does appear to have been press releases, probably as part of regular Fillmore West press releases, so the performers would have been announced, but probably only on FM radio and at the Fillmore West itself. As rock music became more important, the Tuesday night shows would sometimes be listed in the paper as filler in the entertainment section, which is how I found out about most of the shows. In 1968 and 1969, however, the shows seem to have been all but unpublicized. Bill Graham liked playing basketball, and apparently each Tuesday the Fillmore West "team" would play a game at the Fillmore West against another team (such as a radio station) prior to the show. A bit of this is shown in the 1972 Fillmore movie. Afterwards, three bands would play. It seems that everyone did just one set, unlike the normal two sets on the weekend, so it was a relatively early evening, appropriate for a Tuesday. On weekends, the three billed bands (from the poster) each played two sets. Going back to 1966 at the old Fillmore, a local band often opened the show on Friday and Saturday, playing a single set. This was to encourage and accommodate early arriving patrons, and by extension to encourage the sale of more popcorn and soda. A local band playing a set at, say, 8:00 pm at the Fillmore would still have time to make it over to a nightclub if they were booked for a Friday or Saturday night gig, as many bands would have been. Whatever the proposition, however, there is no guarantee that the best band of each Tuesday night was guaranteed to be the opener on the next weekend. I'm sure it happened of course, and perhaps regularly, but I have yet to see indications of who actually opened which show. The Fillmore West was designed as a money making operation, but Bill Graham was also very shrewd about what would now be called "Leveraging His Brand" (had such a term existed then). First of all, each of the three bands was paid Union Scale for a two-hour session. I do not precisely how much this was, and obviously depending on the number of members of the band it would vary slightly, but it was probably a relatively small amount. Thus, it would not take a large crowd to justify the expense of the evening (since bands had to join the union in order to play Fillmore West, some bands may have effectively not been paid at all). In late 1968 Graham started both a booking agency and two record labels. One record label was supported by CBS, and was called Fillmore Records; the other label was San Francisco Records, distributed by Atlantic; and the booking agency was the Millard Agency. Thus the auditions were not just for finding opening acts at Fillmore West, which was hardly an impossible task, as Graham had done so for years at the Fillmore without a Tuesday audition night. Tuesdays provided Graham first look at acts for his record company, and immediate indications of the stage act of local bands for his booking agency. Anyway, apparently Boogie's audition that night did not impressed Bill Graham too much, as he neither booked the band to open a weekend show at the Fillmore and/or signed them for his record label or booking agency.
Barry Bastian, John Barrett and his girlfriend Britha Dahle, and Boogie's roadie William Warren 'Bill' Leidenthal, were arrested early in the morning in their house at 79 Live Oak Avenue in Fairfax, for possession of a big bowl of seeds, a couple of joints, an elaborate water pipe (the type used to "turn on" many persons at one time), and for growing a nine-inch marijuana plant in the living room window. The four were arrested after a neighbor's complaint of being "slugged by a hippie". Police responded to a call from Walter Couch, 77 Live Oak Avenue, that he had been hit and wanted to make a citizen's arrest. According to police, they accompanied the alleged victim to the hippie pad next door to confront a suspect in the assault, Mark Ryan of 8 Creek Lane, MIll Valley (yes, that Mark Ryan, the former bass player of the California Memorial Band). Police asked Ryan for his identification, but Ryan replied he had it inside the house. The officers said they had to go in with him, but at that point, Barry Bastian grabbed the policeman's arm, holding him back. The police then noticed the nine-inch marijuana plant and a water pipe. "I remember Mark Ryan coming thru the front door followed by a parade of cops," Bill Leidenthal recalls. "What an asshole. I also remember that the Christmas tree was still up in mid January. Ahahahahah." "When Mark came in with the cops, I was in my room," John Barrett also recalls. "Britha came in and said the cops are there. I jumped out the window and went to Fuzzy who lived in the chicken house next to the main house. He and GB escaped and ran down the hill towards town to a friend's house. I went back around front and all was quiet. No cop cars. I went to the door and peeked in the window. People were on the sofa, and someone had a guitat. Mark? Barry? I don't remember who. So I thought the cops are gone, everything looks peaceful. I opened the door and oops! 2 cops standing there. Do you live here one asked? Fucked." After a search, the police also found a big bowl of seeds and two joints. "They wrecked the place," John adds. "Dumping drawers contents on the floor, un-screwing light fixtures from the ceilings, cut open pillows, taking beds apart. Like pigs got in the house. The seeds were in a bowl in the kitchen up on a shelf. The seeds were from lid cleanings. Emerald called during the busty but did not speak. A Narc answered the phone, Emerald put 2+2 together very quickly." In the house there were other people, but only the four who said they rented the dwelling were arrested, police said. The four were held on bail of $650 each (paid by Emory), and then Bastian, Barrett and Leidenthal (but not Dahle who was arrested but not charged) were arraigned on charges of marijuana possession in Marin Municipal Court later in the day. In addition with possessing the weed, Barry and Bill were charged with possessing a device for smoking pot and John was charged for possessing just two joints. "We went to jail," John confirms. "Britha got out next day, while Barry, Bill and I were there 2 nights. Emerald bailed us out." Mark Ryan, whom Walter Couch said slugged him, was not arrested in the incident. Anyway, the three men, assisted by their lawyer Steve Kolpe, pleaded innocent on January 14 or 22, and since their case has been delayed a couple of times (preliminary hearing in Marin Municipal Court on February 25 and then on June 3 were cancelled), the drug charges were dropped for good on June 12. "They dismissed charges because the accusing police officer's father had died and he was at funeral, unable to testify, so they let us go," recalls John.

Also on the bill: Lamb, Mint Tattoo. One show, from 9pm to 1am, promoted by Sounds Unlimited. "The Avenue Theatre contained one of the last Wurlitzer pipe organs," John Barrett recalls. "A huge wonderful instrument. The original organist was there, he was about 85 years old and used to play it for the silent movies and shows. It had bells, sound effects, bird chips, dog barks and other great stuff. He would perform a few tunes then the gigs would begin. I think we were helping to raise money to preserve the theatre and the organ."
John Barrett and his girlfriend Britha Dahle married today. "Britha was from Norway," John recalls. "We met at the Ark. I was 28 and she was 22. She did not speak english very well, but got better as time went by."

"Good band," John adds, "then they sent us to Vietnam with the Army division called 1st Air Cavalry."

Tuesday, May 6 - Thursday, May 8, 1969: Avenue Theatre, 2650 San Bruno Avenue, San Francisco, California
Also on the bill: Phoenix (6-8), Freedom Highway (6-8), Birth (7). One show a day, from 8:00pm to 1:00am, promoted by Sounds Unlimited. Although originally advertised as a 3-day gig, there's a possibily that the Wednesday and Thursday shows were canceled. "This one was our last gig," John Barrett recalls. "It was never announced as such, it just happened as a regular gig. It did not become last gig until a few days or a week later when Fuzzy said: 'enough with Barry and that was that'. Barry had been getting out of jail on work furlough to play gigs. [After the Avenue Theatre gig] he went back and never got out again because they took his work furlough privilege away." "A couple of days later there was a story in the Marin Independent Journal about this guy that had been turned on to pot for the first time in the Marin County Jail," Barry Bastian recalls. "Well, all work furloughs were cancelled, and as simple as that, over a couple 10 dollar bags, the Boogie ended". "We were faced with no gigs for months, so Fuzzy and I quit," John Barrett adds. "I moved with my wife to Muir Beach near Kris Kristofferson's house (then in September to Santa Cruz), and Fuzzy stayed in Fairfax I think." Later that same month, Fuzzy John joined The Sons Of Champlin, although he left them after only one month and went on to play with John Barrett again, in a new band called The Rhythm Dukes. Barry Bastian, in the meantime, was still in jail, although "they let me out after 57 days instead of 90," he adds, "but by then our house was gone, the equipment van, our concert gear, and our family seemed to be in such a scattered array, that it was hard to find the way to pickup the pieces. Also for me, after living in a cage for a while, you start to realize that that's where you live, and when you hit the streets your not the same, your looking over your shoulder, you don't feel carefree and loose anymore. You want to stay free. Johnny Cash once said: 'when they close that door a thousand years of culture goes right down the drain'. I can testify to that. I tripped around Marin for a while, hung with friends, and was happy to see Gingerbread and Fuzzy's baby, Thomra, come into the world [July 5, 1969]. But something different was coming out inside. I decided to go see my dad; he had just retired, and moved to Hawaii with his third wife. It was truly great, the right thing to do, I had not lived with him since I was five."

SPP Research Associates Present Their Theses
by Alicia LeDuc
in Ecological Research Education Evaluation Prison Life Science
By Graduate Research Associate Alicia LeDuc
Two of SPP's former Graduate Research Associates have completed theses for the Master of Environmental Studies program at The Evergreen State College. Liesl Plomski and Sarah Clarke selected topics related to the Sustainable Prisons Project. Both women have been integral parts of SPP since its early inception, working closely with inmates and DOC staff in two of Washington's prisons.
Liesl Plomski presented her thesis regarding best practices in the rearing of endangered Oregon Spotted Frogs, drawing on her experience working with inmates at the Cedar Creek Corrections Center in Little Rock, Washington. Plomski said she enjoyed working with inmates on the conservation efforts and that, "experiencing the importance of tuning people into a passion for positive development has definitely affected my subsequent career choice since finishing at Evergreen." Plomski now lives in Portland, Oregon where she works mentoring at-risk youth.
Sarah Clarke completed her thesis on the impact of horticulture therapy and how working with living things affects the knowledge, behavior, and attitudes of inmates participating in the Sustainable Prisons Project. Her work included data from four institutions working with SPP. Reflecting on her experience with inmates at the Washington Corrections Center for Women in Gig Harbor, Washington, Clarke said, "working with SPP has profoundly changed my life. It has been rewarding on a personal level to work with inmates and see how interacting with nature benefits them." One of SPP's first Graduate Research Associates, Clarke said it was exciting to be part of a ground-breaking project from the very start. "It was a meaningful job that will be hard to replace," she said. Clarke now works at the Evergreen State College as a youth educator in the childcare center.
Both former SPP staff attested to the personal growth and professional rewards of working with the SPP. Referring to her work lecture coordination and project evaluation efforts, Clarke said SPP enhanced her ability to work independently, manage time efficiently, work with a wide range of people, and change roles quickly. "I gained confidence to make judgments and take actions in new territory," she said. Plomski agreed with Clarke's observations, adding that working with SPP also improved her communication and analytical skills while working in a variety of different settings.
Most of all, the former Research Associates attested to the immense personal reward and satisfaction they felt when working with SPP. Plomski said, "You come home at the end of the day and honestly feel like you've made society a little better, you actually did something." For Clarke, it was, "really rewarding to witness the human healing that comes from working with nature." Both Plomski and Clarke have made contributions that continue to leave a lasting impact on the inmates, DOC staff, and community members they worked with over the course of their tenure with the Sustainable Prisons Project.

The first quarter of this culinary journey is complete! The last two weeks of class garnered some of the easier, every day breads and treats. In week nine, we made challah bread, fougasse and baguettes. We also snuck in an ice cream treat because the ice cream kitchen was finally available. I'm still enjoying my pistachio white chocolate ice cream – I actually can't believe I still have some left.
The last 2 classes focused on how to use leftover ingredients – namely, an extra challah loaf and baguette we left behind from the week before. We turned them in to an amazing chocolate bread pudding and croutons, respectively. We also squeezed out some toffee, brittle and pretzels, which just like all the breads before it, was laborious, but worth the effort.
On the very last night of class, I had my very first total recipe failure. We were making truffles and I over-poured the cherry liquor and my ganache never set up enough to roll into truffles. Lesson learned, when the chef says not to use more than 1.5 ounces of liquor and you accidentally pour 1.8, don't shrug it off and say "it will be ok". I actually intended to take a sip to try the liquor on its own, but totally forgot as I started throwing things together. Alas, no truffles for me. But, like any good chef, I can improvise – the cherry-chocolate sauce will be great over my pistachio ice cream!
I was much more successful with my toffee and spicy pecan brittle. Both were a hit at the office, I personally like the brittle the best.
The past ten weeks have been a blast – I've had fun and I learned a TON. I've been able to work in a professional kitchen where there are awesome tools like blast chillers, Hobarts that are so big they need to be wheeled out on a cart and had access to a pantry full of goodies to please any palate.
Out of everything I've made, a few items stand out as my favorite: tiramisu, French macarons, panna cotta, quiche, and pastry cream which has a million different uses.
I have a break for the next three weeks, and when class starts up again, I'll be going back to basics – knife skills, stocks, sauces and soups. I've heard that breaking down a whole fish and boning Cornish hens are on the syllabus – eep!


Since I'm going to college soon, I should learn how to cook better! My mom and sister were at Disneyland earlier in the week while my brother, dad, and I stayed at home. I was unsatisfied with the amount of take-out we ate the first night my mom was gone, so I decided to try out this cooking thing. I took photos of breakfast.
Buttermilk pancakes with strawberries on top with a syrup drizzle. My dad and brother don't adore pancakes as much as me. More for me.
Chocolate chip bagel and fry-poached egg with cilantro, garlic salt, and pepper on top. Eggs are the quintessential brunch meal. Whether scrambled, poached, fried, or gently folded into an omelet, they're the ideal morning food.
I'm going to miss all the food at home when I go to college next year.

for those of you who don't know, my "browser wars" illustration has been getting quite popular these past few days and due to your requests i will be making a printable version that will be available on my DA account.
i will do my best to make it as soon as possible but my free time is only on weekends so it may take some time. i'll post a link when its done so keep track!
a gift pic for someone at DA. he asked for poison ivy with a cat.
I've been thinking about this a lot. Obviously a solid idea is key but there has to be more to it. there are a lot of beautiful images that don't have a clear narrative or subtext and yet they obviously work. I think it comes down to something I can only call awareness to details. Every time you draw something there are a million of question you can ask yourself. For example: a man holding an apple. on the idea level you can ask: "who is this man?" "why is he holding the apple?" "What are his feelings towards the apple?" "Why?" Each answer you come up with brings a new set of questions and also interesting solutions and subtext to your formally bland image, for example, the man is Adam, Eve just gave him the apple and he's feeling uncomfortable holding the apple since he just took a bite and with his newfound wisdom he realizes that Eve is a bit of a skank... obviously you can keep developing the idea by asking more questions, turning Eve into a strip dancer and the tree to a pole and maybe the snake is sliding singles down her leafy underwear and so on. But its not only about the idea, ask questions about who is you character, what sort of expression does he have considering his nature and the situation he's in? and also, more technical questions like: "how is he holding the apple?" Up high? Arm stretched away with only 2 fingers holding the twig part? Still chewing on it? And even more: how does a hand hold an apple? What muscles are in use? Should I even draw muscles? will a cartoonish stylized character work better? What kind of cartoon style? And of course you need to think about the environment and color – is it morning? Twilight? Summer? Should I make it all green to contrast the red apple? Where is the light coming from? Etc.
The questions here are all mixed up, some of them should be answered before others, like questions that regard style or the general tone of the image and the answers to the follow up questions must support them. this may seem like a lot but this process is fairly fast and muted, other than a couple of main questions to establish an idea this is just something that you should keep track of in the back of your head when you draw your image. the more you practice the easier and faster it gets – usually it takes me less than a minute to come up with an idea and i just keep all the questions running in the back of my head while I work. I think the best artists are the ones most sensitive to details like that.

A new Yale study estimates that suggests that the actual illegal immigrant population may be more than 22 million.
Yale study: "the actual undocumented immigrant population may be more than 22 million."
Yale finds twice as many illegals as previously thought—22 million. Outrageous.
When Mohammad Fazel-Zarandi presented the preliminary results of his paper in our @YaleSOM faculty seminar last year it was clear that they were going to create quite a stir upon publication.
Grist for Trump's mill. Yale study calculates that the number of undocumented immigrants is twice the usual estimate: "After running 1,000,000 simulations of the model, the researchers' 95% probability range is 16m to 29m, with 22.1 million as the mean."

Winderman's view: Heat 97, Spurs 94
By Ira Winderman
South Florida Sun Sentinel |
| MIAMI
Heat guard Dwyane Wade shares a moment with Floyd Mayweather Jr. during Monday's exhibition against the Spurs at AmericanAirlines Arena. (Joe Cavaretta / Sun Sentinel)
Observations from Monday night's 97-94 exhibition victory over the San Antonio Spurs at AmericanAirlines Arena:
-- The quick takeaway is that the Heat still have a lot of work to do to get on the same page.
-- Especially Goran Dragic.
-- And they have to find a way to get Justise Winslow more involved with the second unit.
-- Even if it means streak-scoring Gerald Green gets fewer shots.
[Most Read Heat Coverage] Winderman's view: Heat 115, Thunder 108 »
-- But the reserves made it compelling late, especially Tyler Johnson, who got an extended look at point guard.
-- With the Heat also playing Tuesday in Orlando, Spoelstra gave the night off to Mario Chalmers, Josh McRoberts and Amar'e Stoudemire.
-- This time the second unit was Chris Andersen, Greg Whittington, Winslow, Green and Johnson.
-- Johnson, playing ahead of Josh Richardson, provided a nice boost off the bench.
-- You have to wonder if the Heat are auditioning Chalmers replacements while considering the luxury tax.
--Richardson later entered in the fourth quarter.
-- Which also is when James Ennis finally got his first look of the night.
[Most Read Heat Coverage] Heat stave off Thunder 115-108 to get bearings back on the road »
-- Whittington appears to be gaining on him.
-- Green again displayed his ability to score in bunches.
-- Green's fun to watch, even on his goal-tends.
-- LaMarcus Aldridge on the Spurs just isn't fair.
-- You have to wonder if David Stern were still commissioner if he would have voided the signing.
-- Aldridge, though, had four fouls in 13 minutes. And, no, there are no bonus fouls in the preseason like summer league (although honestly, why not?).
[Most Read Heat Coverage] Miami Heat arena's new name? AmericanAirlines Arena (still, for now) »
-- Still, Aldridge, Tim Duncan and Kawhi Leonard is about as good as it has gotten on the same front line anywhere in a while.
-- The Heat again were without Hassan Whiteside due to his calf strain, and John Lucas III because of an ongoing hamstring issue.
-- Even with Whiteside out, Spoelstra again opened with Wade, Dragic, Chris Bosh and Luol Deng.
-- "The four of the guys will be out there as much as we can," Spoelstra said of his four-fifths lineup continuity.
-- That again had Udonis Haslem as the fill-in starter at center.
-- Bosh, on playing in the absence of Whiteside, "We're a little short, so I'm not really looking wins and losses as important. But moving the ball, continuing to execute and work on our pace and our execution is very important for us."
[Most Read Heat Coverage] ASK IRA: Is All-Star voting a snub to Heat's success? »
-- Bosh said he still is overcoming the illness that held him out of practice over the weekend. "It's getting there," he said. "It always kind of lingers around a little bit. My body's feeling good."
-- Of course, overcoming flu symptoms is nothing like overcoming last season's blood clot on his lung. "It's way easier, man," Bosh said.
-- Deng said it's important to appreciate the Heat as a work in progress. "There's still a lot things we need to clean up," he said. "Guys are getting familiar with each other, so that's why there's a lot of turnovers."
-- Deng said with so many players missing time last season, there remains the matter of catching up to the rhythm of the game. "A lot of guys, the game is coming back, in terms of the speed of the game," he said. "So really, it takes time, but this is what preseason is about."
-- But Deng said the Heat can't simply accept not being good enough with Whiteside out, "I thought last year with the injuries and everything, we got away from executing, and I think it's something that we know if we want to get to the level that we want to get to, we've got to be able to execute even though guys are hurt."
-- Three of the Heat's first four shots were threes. They missed all three.
-- The Heat eventually fell to 1 of 7 on 3s, with the lone conversion by Dwyane Wade.
-- Deng said the maturation of Justise Winslow has been impressive through this stage of camp. "He's versatile," he said of the first-round pick out of Duke. "He could guard two, three, maybe even one. He's strong. He's got the inside game. He's really good at cutting. He knows the game really well for a young kid."
-- Spurs coach Gregg Popovich on why had no issue with Tony Parker playing for his national team this summer, at a time when Manu Ginobili was encouraged to sit, "Tony, if he sits, the Duck pate and foie gras adds up."
-- Popovich said David West will be the same in San Antonio as he was in Indiana, "He's going to shot elbow jumpers."
-- Popovich is expecting an easy adjustment to Aldridge, "It's not like he's new. You know what he's doing."
-- And from Popovich on Aldridge, "We still haven't coached him. We just watch him."
-- Spoelstra on the benefits of the preseason for his team, "Obviously need to tighten up some things."
-- Spoelstra said getting turnovers down remains the priority, "Even before we get into what we're trying to do and how we're playing with the pace and the spacing, we have to value the ball, value the possession."
-- Of turnovers, Spoelstra said, "Sometimes singles are better than going for the home run, particularly after two or three tough possessions. We have to build that type of intuitiveness with our basketball game."

-- Spoelstra reiterated that Dragic is his primary ballhandler, "We want the ball in Goran's hands," he said. "We want him to be aggressive. We want him to have more opportunities in the open court."
-- But Spoelstra added, "Just by the nature of our roster, there will be times that he has to play off the ball. But we want him to create that pace for us."

-- For Spoelstra, Thursday's intrasquad public scrimmage will be handled like another game day. "We'll treat Thursday like a game," he said, "have a shootaround and come in for that."
-- The Spurs were without Boris Diaw.
--Asked pregame what was wrong with the forward, Popovich said, "I don't care. When they tell me he can play, then I'll care."
-- Floyd Mayweather was back in the house. Alas, no sign of Manny.

The Flash Season 6 Episode 2 Recap: "A Flash of the Lightning"
By Kevin Finnerty on October 16, 2019 TV, TV Show Recaps

"I saw billions of possible futures, billions of deaths. I felt it all," says Barry (Grant Gustin) to Jay Garrick (John Wesley Shipp) and his wife, Joan (Michelle Harrison), who are trying to help Barry get ready for the coming crisis in season six episode of The CW's The Flash.
As the episode begins Barry's sitting in the time vault talking to Iris (Candice Patton) about how the newspaper article saying The Flash disappears in a crisis has gone from being a guide showing he and Team Flash are heading in the right direction to being a sword hanging over his head. He confesses he always believed that even if he disappeared, he was still out there somewhere trying to get back home to Iris. Iris asks him not to listen to the Monitor, reminding him the article has changed before which means they can change the future.
Barry decides the only solution is to go see the crisis for himself.
Meanwhile, trying to help Frost (Danielle Panabaker) live life Cisco (Carlos Valdes) and Ralph (Hartley Sawyer) take her to see Cisco's girlfriends' art show. Frost, not having a filter, makes fun of Kamilla's work – mostly because she doesn't understand it. Understandably, the insult doesn't sit well with Kamilla.
Over at the D.A's office, Cecille (Danielle Nicolet) gets handed a case against a young meta convict. The young woman's been in trouble most of her young life for petty theft, but it seems she's upgraded to murder. As she's addressing the judge about the case, Cecille gets a feeling from her meta powers that the convict, Allegra Garcia, is innocent. She tells the judge she needs time to go over new evidence and asks that the girl be allowed bail. The judge grudgingly agrees.
Back at S.T.A.R. Labs, Barry informs Iris he's going to time travel to the day after he disappears to see the crisis for himself. He attempts the leap but while speedrunning in the Speed Force, he runs into a barrier he can't get through. Barry decides to travel to Earth-3 and see if Jay Garrick can help him.
Barry brings Jay up to speed and Jay tells him he's been picking up anti-matter showing up all over on different Earths. Jay informs Barry the barrier he hit was made of anti-matter and he can't speed through it. However, he does have an idea. He and Joan have made a neural hype collider which can transport a speedster's mind into the future.
Barry agrees to try it and then is shocked when he meets Joan. She's the doppelganger of his mom, Nora.
Back on Earth-1, Cecille and Iris team up and discover some new evidence that calls into question if Allegra committed the murder. Ralph shows up with more evidence pointing to her innocence. He discovered the victim was burned and Allegra's meta powers are controlling radio waves.
Iris and Ralph head over to talk to the witness who identified Allegra and find Allegra standing over his dead body. Allegra uses her powers to burn Ralph's face and tries to get away. Fortunately, Joe (Jesse L. Martin) shows up and uses a metahuman dampener to catch her.
Over on Earth-3, Jay and Joan conduct the experiment and send Barry's mind into the future. He reacts violently as his mind sees billions of possible futures and deaths. In perhaps one of the most disturbing scenes of the show, Barry witnesses everyone including those he loves – Caitlin, Ralph, Joe, Cisco, and Iris – trying to escape and being destroyed in a blood-red anti-matter wave. He also sees himself running and trying to stop the anti-matter wave. He's able to save everyone except himself. He comes apart and disintegrates.
Jay and Joan bring Barry out of it and he's both emotionally and physically drained. It seems the device fried his neural pathways, but Jay and Joan expect he'll be fine in a day or two.
Somewhere in Central City, Dr. Ramsey Rosso (Sendhil Ramamurthy) tries to do a deal with a criminal. The criminal ups the price and almost kills Rosso, but Rosso saved when his arm turns into a dark, gooey, tentacle-like thing he uses to stab the thug in the shoulder.
Back on Earth-3, Barry describes what he saw to Jay and Joan. He's more distressed than ever, believing he must die to save the multiverse.

At S.T.A.R. Labs, Ralph's recovering from his extremely bad sunburn which if he wasn't a meta would have killed him. Frost shows no signs of empathy, telling him to just put aloe on it as she walks off. Both Cisco and Ralph are getting fed up with Frost, and Ralph even asks her to bring Caitlin back for a minute but she quickly says no.
At CCPD, Joe interrogates Allegra who claims she's innocent. She doesn't expect Joe to believe her. Cecille arrives and demands Allegra tell them who is actually committing the murders. Allegra refuses. Joe and Cecille step outside the room and Joe says the evidence points to her guilt. Cecile says her meta powers have never been wrong and she knows Allegra's innocent.
Jay and Joan bring Barry back home to Iris, and a still weak Barry tells Iris what he saw. She's sure they can find a way to stop it now, but Barry believes the Monitor was telling the truth. Iris won't be dissuaded, believing they can stop this by getting everyone (including Kara and Oliver) to work on the problem. They can even create an anti-matter dampener to stop it.
Barry reveals he saw her, Caitlin…everyone…die and the only timeline where they survive is the one where he dies. Barry suggests that maybe he was given his powers so he can save everyone from this. Iris becomes upset and accuses him of giving up and that her Barry would find another way to fight.
Joe visits Barry a little later looking for Iris to help on the Allegra case and finds him resting on the couch. He asks Barry what's wrong, reminding his son-in-law he's always around for him to talk to. Barry replies, "Something's coming, Joe. I have to make a sacrifice but at the same time I can't help but feel like it means I'm giving up."
Joe tells Barry a story of how one day when he was a rookie cop walking the beat a bullet went right by his head. He thought that his days of being a cop were over and that he couldn't handle it. The next morning even though he was scared to go back out on the streets he did because of his badge. "Our badges, your emblem, they are symbols of the strength we are charged with to get back out there," says Joe. He continues by telling Barry they don't make the choice to die but when they hear the call of duty, they're willing to make that sacrifice. "That's not giving up Bar, that's what you call resilience," says Joe.
At S.T.A.R. Labs, Cisco finds Frost drawing rather badly. He teases her a little and she gets upset saying she stinks at it and he quickly tells her to stop. He realizes she's been trying to express herself and if she wants to draw or dance to do it but to realize others are trying to do it too. Frost says she feels stabbing pains in her stomach and he tells her that's guilt she's feeling for her behavior at the art show.
Cecille convinces Allegra to open up and she reveals the night of the particle accelerator explosion she thought her cousin was killed. Now she believes she's alive and possesses the same powers she has. She's likely the one committing the murders. The CCPD goes dark and her cousin, Ultraviolet, shows up looking to kill her.
Iris and Ralph call Barry to tell him about Ultraviolet and the CCPD blackout, and Barry races over. He arrives to find Ultraviolet about to kill Allegra. Fortunately, he's able to speed Allegra and Cecille to Joe in another room and tells them to stay safe. The Flash speeds out but gets hit by a blast of Ultraviolet power. He focuses on Joe's earlier pep talk and uses his speed and his power with the Speed Force to attack a second time, speeding toward her and knocking her out with a power punch.
At S.T.A.R. Labs, Ralph, Cisco, and Frost are talking about Allegra being cleared. Barry notices new art hung up in the med bay and Frost says she bought them using Caitlin's credit cards. Cisco puts the drawing Frost did up with them saying it connects with them and makes the whole thing work. Frost smiles. Barry also smiles as he listens and watches his friends chat. The gentle smile disappears as he becomes solemn again, thinking about the crisis.
Back home, Iris tells Barry she's sure no matter what the crisis brings he will never give up. He explains he isn't choosing to die but if he has to sacrifice himself to save everyone he will. They have to prepare the team for the crisis and maybe even the world without The Flash.
The episode ends with Dr. Rosso in his lab performing a biopsy of the thug he killed. Suddenly, the thug rises up and attacks him.
Review of The Flash Season 6 Episode 2:
Emotional, funny, and shocking, season six episode two titled "A Flash of the Lightning" shows the horrible and disturbing fate facing the universe and the ultimate sacrifice Barry might have to make to save everyone he loves and the multiverse. The stand-out performance in this episode is delivered by Grant Gustin who displays wonderfully the horror, shock, and emotional trauma Barry goes through learning the truth of what's coming. The scenes with John Wesley Shipp and Candice Patton where he tells them about what he saw are raw and painfully moving.
With Barry and Iris about to bring Team Flash up to speed on what they know about the crisis, it'll be interesting to see how each member reacts to the terrible news and the possibility of losing Barry forever.
