Minnesota Vikings 2017 Season
Minnesota Vikings Training Camp 2017
2017 Stock Market Report
Stock Market Report: Training Camp
One week of training camp is in the books, let's see how the financials look

Brad Rempel-USA TODAY Sports
The Minnesota Vikings opened training camp Mankato, MN, for the 52nd and final time last week, beginning a journey that we hope ends in with the Super Bowl in US Bank Stadium next February. The Vikings had a busy off-season, re-tooling the offensive line, drafting some pretty good players on offense, and they just re-negotiated a contract with Xavier Rhodes, with rumors of more coming.
It's been an interesting week, one of hope and promise. Of course, every team has that this time of year, except the Jets and Browns, and probably the Bears. I mean, it's gonna be a hopeless wasteland for those fans this season, but most everyone else can at least do an 'if/then' exercise, at a minimum, and think playoffs. Will that hope and promise translate into wins for the Vikings? I guess it depends on whether or not this team gels during camp, doesn't it, Mr. Soul?
Color me any color
Speak to me in tongues and share
Tell me how you'd love to hate me
Tell me how you'd love to care
Well I just want to shake us up
Let's mingle
And make it well
Come together now
Yeah let's gel
Clothe me in any fashion
Glitter to so mundane
Tell me how you'd love to change me
Tell me I can stay the same
I just want to shake us up
Well let's bungle
And live to tell
How we came together
Yeah how we gelled
Your last Mankato Stock Market Report follows.
Blue Chip Stocks:
Dalvin Cook, RB: Last night Di and I did our podcast (that's Roughing The Podcast, if you're not familiar, please check us out if you haven't. And shameless plug over) and she pretty much described my feelings towards Cook when he got drafted: oh, okay. I was neither excited nor discouraged; I just kind of thought he'd be one of three running backs in a platoon setup. And until I saw him, I was okay with that.
But you guys...YOU GUYS. The word I kept hearing up in Mankato is 'special', and he really seems like a special back. Very fluid runner, great vision and cutback ability, soft hands catching passes out of the backfield...very, very impressive so far. With every day that goes by, he's locking down the starting RB job. Yes, Murray and McKinnon are going to see the field, but I don't know that a RB by committee is going to be a thing in Minnesota or not.
Danielle Hunter and Everson Griffen, DE: The Vikings have what I believe to be their best 1-2 set rushers since Keith Millard and Chris Doleman. Hunter and Griffen were creating absolute havoc during full padded 11 on 11 practice, and at times seemed unblockable. Now, could it be attributed to the caliber of player they were going up against across the line? I think you could make that argument to an extent, but Rashod Hill and Mike Remmers are a lot better than the competition the defense has had to face in the last couple years, and the duo still look phenomenal. The Vikings defensive line as a whole stood out, but Griffen and Hunter appear poised to bring a wrecking ball to opponents in 2017.
Sam Bradford, QB: Sam Bradford has been sharp in almost every facet so far. He's made no major mistakes, and if there's been one knock, it was that he was inaccurate on his deep ball during the Saturday afternoon padded practice. He looked good throwing deep on Friday, and his short/intermediate stuff has been money. Ball placement has been great, his bad throws are such that they're either going to make the receiver have to make a difficult catch or let the ball drop incomplete to avoid a pick, so it's hard to argue they're really a bad throw. Bradford also seems really comfortable in this offense. There were no mental errors, and a whole off season working with a familiar face in Pat Shurmur has been good for Bradford and the offense.
Solid Investments:
Pat Elflein, C: The rookie third round pick has been getting more reps with the first team, and he's looked good, for the most part, going up against guys like Tom Johnson and Linval Joseph. I'm still not sold on Elflein winning the starting center job, because Nick Easton has played as well, if not better than Elflein, but Elflein is going to be a good addition to the offensive line.
Laquon Treadwell, WR: Of all the players having a good camp, this is the one I'm happiest about. Treadwell was maligned with injuries last year, and then with fans who loved screaming he was a bust in the off-season. He's shown good route running ability, and a burst coming out of the break to get open on crossing patterns. He's made some head turning catches in the red zone, and he TKO'd Antone Exum, Jr., yesterday afternoon in the much ballyhooed training camp kerfuffle. Keep working, young man. It's about to pay off.
Michael Floyd, WR: As good as Treadwell has looked, Floyd has looked a smidge better, and if he can step up when he comes back from his suspension the Vikings are going to have a seriously good top four of Floyd, Treadwell, and of course Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen. Funny story: During an 11 on 11 period Saturday, Michael Floyd made a really nice catch, over, I think, Trae Waynes. Had to go up for the ball, Waynes contested, but Floyd came down with it. The crowd cheered, and some guy behind me yelled 'get that man a kombucha!'
I laughed.
Danny Isidora, RG: One of the really bad facets of the Vikings offensive line the last couple seasons is a serious lack of depth. No line could have absorbed all the injuries last year's team suffered, don't get me wrong, but even one or two injuries would have put the 2016 line in a perilous spot. Isidora is one of the guys the Vikings have brought in to fix that, and the rookie sixth round pick is acquitting himself well. He's really pushing RG Joe Berger, and if Berger continues to struggle he may overtake him. I thought he might need to sit for a year to get used to the NFL, but there were times when Isidora looked like a two or three year vet. Of course, there were also times where he looked like he's been in training camp for less than a week, too. But there's a lot there to like with him.
Trae Waynes and Mackensie Alexander, CB: The biggest question mark for me on defense was how Mackensie Alexander would look playing the slot in place of Captain Munnerlyn, and if Waynes would take over the LCB job. They've both looked good in Mankato, although Alexander looked a little more inconsistent to me when I was up there. Waynes, though, seems to have found the sweet spot between being too grabby and playing too far off a receiver, and was playing solid coverage both days I was there. If this translates into the regular season when they start playing for real, Waynes and Rhodes are going to be a heck of a CB tandem.
Junk Bonds:
Riley Reiff, T: This isn't because of how Reiff has played, it's because of how he hasn't played. He's been sidelined since the first afternoon practice, and for a team that has PTSD from last year's o-line injuries, it's not a good omen to start camp. On the flip side, it means Rashod Hill has gotten almost all the reps with the first team, and he's done okay. Not great, but not terrible. Still, the sooner Reiff gets out there, the better off everyone will be. And we can all stop hyperventilating.
Jerick McKinnon and Latavius Murray, RB: While Reiff doesn't seem to be in danger of losing his starting job to injury, Murray and McKinnon do. With both of them sidelined, Dalvin Cook has had most of the first team reps, and he's putting distance between himself and these two guys, to the point I don't know that the gap can be made up. I know when you have kind of a running back committee, who the starter is is a bit of a moot point, but with each day Cook is showing he can do everything Murray and McKinnon specialize in, (short yardage and pass catching), and if Cook proves he can do it all, there might not be a running back committee.
Case Keenum, QB: I was almost positive that when Keenum was signed, he was going to be the backup QB, and Taylor Heinicke was going to be put in a weird limbo, his fate and career with the Vikings tied to the health of Teddy Bridgewater's knee rehab. But no, not even close. Heinicke has played very well, save for one bad interception on Saturday, and Keenum has done himself no favors by playing as poorly as he has. About the only positive thing you can say about Keenum's camp is that it's been better than Wes Lunt's camp. Wes Lunt was cut on Saturday morning. If Teddy was healthy, Keenum would be getting his pink slip soon.
Buy/Sell:
Buy: The offensive line will be better. Between Mike Remmers, Isidora, Hill, Reiff when he finally starts practicing, and Elflein, the upgrade in talent is obvious. Alex Boone is having a great camp (aside: Boone is a really funny dude), and once Reiff gets healthy, the Vikings have the makings of a respectable front five, with some decent depth on the two deep. This past off-season plan to upgrade the offensive line has been a heck of a lot better than last off-season's plan, which fell apart faster than a Jenga puzzle once pieces started getting removed. They'll still need to add more talent next off-season, but right now this seems like a group of guys that can get the job done and be a lot more reliable than in recent seasons.
Sell: The offensive line will be great. Still, no one will mistake this unit for the Dallas Cowboys line. As much of an upgrade Remmers and Reiff are over a hurt Matt Kalil, insert name of tackle here they signed on Wednesday and played on Sunday, and T.J. Clemmings, they're not elite. Remmers showed that in Mankato, although he won his share of battles. Don't get me wrong, I want them to be great, but after what's been trotted out the last couple seasons, I'll be happy with 'just okay' this year, with an eye towards great next year. Because a just okay line makes this team a serious playoff contender. League average, which I think they can be, makes them even better.
Buy: The secondary as a whole with Captain Munnerlyn gone. I like the vibe that Waynes and Alexander are giving off, and with Harrison Smith, Andrew Sendejo, and Terence Newman rounding out the top guys, this secondary looks to have little drop off from last year. Granted, they need to play the games and all that, but I am a lot less nervous about this group than I've been since I heard Munnerlyn re-signed with the Panthers.
Sell: The secondary can withstand an injury. It's not a very deep unit, though. Once you get past those five guys, there's a lot of question marks. Exum is the top CB to back up Alexander at the nickel spot right now, and none of the safeties behind Smith and Sendejo give me a lot of confidence. There are going to be injuries, and a game here or there that guys will miss; that's just the nature of the beast. The Vikes could absorb that, I think, but a long term injury back here could really hurt the defense over the long haul.
Buy: The Vikings have a lot of depth at wide receiver. The most surprising thing for me after watching this team up close for a couple days in the amount of talent and depth the Vikes have here. Assuming the top four are Diggs/Thielen/Treadwell/Floyd, you have several guys competing for just one or two spots. Jarius Wright is one, of course, and I would normally call him a shoe-in. But yeah, for whatever reason the staff just kind of overlooks him. I don't know why, but it just seems to be a bigger and bigger thing. Two guys that really stood out were Stacy Coley and Caleb Jones, who just seemd to make a play every time you looked their way. Rodney Adams is a guy that's not that far behind Jones and Coley, and he seems like he's got an inside track for a roster spot based on his early look as a kick returner. So even if the Vikings keep six receivers, there are four guys competing for two spots, and right now you can pick any two of the four and you'd be right.
Sell: MoBo is part of that WR depth equation. Sadly, though, it looks like the Moritz Bohringer feel good story of 2016 will have an unhappy ending. MoBo just seems buried on the depth chart, and dropped more passes than he caught in the two days I was up there. I don't fault the Vikings for taking a flyer on him in the sixth round, he was worth a shot and a year on the practice squad. But I'd be surprised if he'll even make the practice squad this year.

Q: Where clause inside whereHas being ignored in Eloquent Im trying to make a query using whereHas with eloquent. The query is like this:
$projects = Project::whereHas('investments', function($q) {
                $q->where('status','=','paid');
            })
            ->with('investments')
            ->get();

Im using Laravel 5.2 using a Postgres driver.
The Project model is:
public function investments()
{
    return $this->hasMany('App\Investment');
}

The investments model has:
public function project() {
    return $this->belongsTo('App\Project');
}

The projects table has fields id,fields...
The investments table has the fields id,project_id,status,created_at
My issue is that the query runs and returns a collection of the projects which have at least one investment, however the where clause inside the whereHas is ignored, because the resulting collection includes investments with status values different than paid.
Does anyone has any idea of what is going on?

A: I believe this is what you need
$projects = Project::whereHas('investments', function($q) {
          $q->where('status','=','paid');
     })->with(['investments' => function($q) {
          $q->where('status','=','paid');
     }])->get();

whereHas wil check all projects that have paid investments, with will eagerload all those investments.

A: You're confusing whereHas and with.
The with method will let you load the relationship only if the query returns true.
The whereHas method will let you get only the models which have the relationship which returns true to the query.
So you need to only use with and not mix with with whereHas:
$projects = Project::with(['investments' =>
function($query){ $query->where('status','=','paid'); }])
->get();

A: Try like this:
$projects = Project::with('investments')->whereHas('investments', function($q) {
                $q->where('status','like','paid'); //strings are compared with wildcards.
            })
            ->get();

A: Change the order. Use with() before the whereHas(). I had a similar problem few weeks ago. Btw, is the only real difference between the problem and the functional example that you made.

La responsabilité parfois dite « sociétale » (ou plus sobrement responsabilité sociale) est le concept qui désigne la responsabilité d'une entité (agent économique, groupe, collectivité, ou même une personne dans le peuple...) relativement aux conséquences économiques, sociales et environnementales de ses activités, notamment pour ses parties prenantes. C'est une démarche de processus permanent de progrès (de type amélioration continue), et non un état. C'est une notion notamment mise en avant par des organisations de consommateurs, des partisans du développement durable et de l'intégration de l'éthique (morale ?) dans l'économie.

Étymologie
Dans une communication du , l'Académie des Sciences morales et politique (Institut de France) s'est interrogée sur la légitimité formelle du néologisme sociétal, « qu'aucune règle grammaticale de dérivation ne justifie, ni en français ni en anglais ».

Chantal Delsol, vice-présidente de cette institution spécialiste de la terminologie des questions de société, souligne qu'aucun adjectif n'est formé en français par substitution de la syllabe -tal à la syllabe -té. Aucun autre adjectif n'est en effet construit sur ce modèle malencontreux : ni « santal » (santé) ni « beautal » (beauté) ni « chastetal » (chasteté) ni « puretal » (pureté) ni « qualital » (qualité) ni « méchancetal » (méchanceté) n'existent, et leur ridicule n'échappe pas aux francophones.

Éléments de définition

La responsabilité sociétale des organisations (entreprises, collectivités territoriales, syndicats, associations) a fait l'objet d'une norme internationale, adoptée par le vote en 2010 de 86 pays, la norme ISO 26000. Elle résulte d'un projet initié par des organisations de consommateurs en 2001, . Les groupes de travail ont été néanmoins caractérisés par une faible présence des pays en développement et par un déséquilibre de représentation en faveur des représentants des entreprises et en défaveur des représentants des ouvriers et employés.

La responsabilité sociétale repose principalement sur deux principes :
 vouloir assumer la responsabilité des conséquences de ses activités et de ses décisions sur l'environnement et la société ;
 en rendre compte, en s'appuyant sur des indicateurs crédibles et transparents.

Pour une entreprise, on parle ainsi de responsabilité sociétale des entreprises (en anglais : « corporate social responsibility »).

La responsabilité sociétale est une approche éthique, et non morale. Elle est prise en compte dans les approches éthique et d'écologie politique, d'affichage environnemental. Elle peut faire partie des allégations environnementales citée par l'entreprise, dans son rapport sur le développement durable par exemple, mais il n'existe pas encore de référentiel consensuel permettant d'objectivement mesurer la responsabilité sociétale d'une organisation ou d'une entreprise

 Le livre vert de 2001 de la Commission européenne intitulé « Promouvoir un cadre européen pour la responsabilité sociale des entreprises »  concevait la responsabilité sociétale comme :
 . Mais la Commission européenne a publié ensuite deux communications, en 2006 puis 2011, qui modifient cette conception, et ce Livre vert ne fait donc plus référence.

 La norme ISO 26000 , adoptée en 2010 et toujours en vigueur, la définit comme :
 la .

Plusieurs types de responsabilités sociales

Dans le cas des techniques de l'information et de la communication (TIC), Florence Rodhain et Bernard Fallery ont mis en évidence un ensemble de mauvaises hypothèses sur le rôle des TIC pour l'environnement, qui fait apparaître un jeu de « responsable mais pas coupable », avec trois types d'acteurs et de responsabilités :
 les entreprises, pour lesquelles on parle de responsabilité sociale des entreprises (RSE),
 les politiques, pour lesquels on parle de responsabilité sociale politique (RSP),
 les individus, pour lesquels on parle de responsabilité sociale des individus (RSI).

La catastrophe du Rana Plaza : Vers un tournant de la régulation ?
Le , les ateliers textiles du Rana Plaza (dans la ville de Dacca au Bangladesh) - qui travaillaient pour l'exportation - se sont effondrés faisant 1.129 victimes. L'ampleur de la catastrophe du Rana Plaza pourrait faire évoluer la nature de la réglementation encadrant les relations entre une entreprise et ses filiales à l'étranger, ainsi que sa chaîne de sous-traitants
Le CCFD, Amnesty International, le collectif « Éthique sur l'étiquette », et l'association Sherpa plaident pour la création d'un principe de responsabilité à caractère juridique liant une entreprise et ses filiales à l'étranger, ainsi que sa chaîne de sous-traitants. L'instauration de ce lien juridique rendrait la Maison-mère responsable d'un accident du travail survenu dans une filiale à l'étranger, voire chez un sous-traitant, s'il pouvait être démontré que la société-mère a manqué de vigilance. Aujourd'hui l'autonomie juridique est de règle entre entités d'un même groupe et a fortiori entre donneur d'ordre et sous-traitant. La voie serait ainsi ouverte à la demande de réparations en cas d'accident du travail -même dans les « lointains » pays émergents- qui pourrait être recevable vis-à-vis de la maison-mère et/ou du donneur d'ordre impliqué(s).

Packaging in reducing food waste.
According to recent studies, more than 1/3 of global production of food products is wasted throughout the overall supply chain (including the end consumer), resulting to almost 1,3 billion tons of food wastage annually. This food waste is an important source of environmental pollution.
For the first time A. Hatzopoulos SA participated in FachPack - the home of 1500 exhibitors offering every aspect of packaging for industrial and consumer-good applications.
37,000 visitors from every sector attend FachPack every year to derive inspiration and get acquainted with the latest developments in cutting-edge concepts/technologies, innovative materials and logistics systems.
Brand counterfeiting? Packaging can help.
Brand counterfeiting is a continually exacerbating issue within the food and pharma industries and is defined as the production of lower-quality replicas of branded goods with the intention of exploiting/reaping the inherent added value of the imitated goods. This phenomenon creates profit loss throughout the overall supply chain and also results in end-consumer defrauding since the product does not perform as advertised.

I tried upgrading from clarity V13.3 to 14..3 and it failed after 14.1. I have attached the check install log files. Please suggest what went wrong.
Also is creating the Database schema for the Data-warehouse feature is mandatory for clarity upgrade?
10/27/15 7:19 AM (Echo) You are running with Java version 25.40-b25.
10/27/15 7:19 AM (Echo) directory and try again.
Please correct the Java and then install again.
Yes it was Java version causing the issue. I got help from CA Support and completed the upgrade.
on your second question : you don't have to have the DWH database schema prior to the upgrade from 13.3.
However, after the upgrade, you have to connect one in CSA - Datawarehouse page, in order to be able to install and use Jaspersoft reports. So I would recommend you to prepare and restore your DWH schema any time, and then just configure it at your convenience in CSA after you get to 14.3.
Good luck with your install!
I completed the upgrade without setting up DWH schema. CA Support person suggested we can create it after upgrade.

'Thriller' Suit
Renowned portrait artist Dick Zimmerman, has painted the world's biggest names, from Michael to Salvador Dali, to Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
He even literally gave Michael the suit off his back, for what later became the iconic cover of the smash hit album, 'Thriller.'
Zimmerman works out of his studios in Tampa, Florida and Los Angeles, and has been creating portraits for nearly four decades. Described as one of the most well-known portrait artists of the twentieth century, Zimmerman says his work "captures the subtleties of the soul."

My Road to Worldcon 76. Part 3: ¿Qué es una Worldcon?
I figured that most of my readers are familiar with Worldcon, the World Science Fiction Convention. However, it was still a bit of a mystery to me on what to expect and how I would fit in. The 2018 iteration would be in San Jose, California, very near San Francisco. I've never been to either of these places and my Inner Wanderer started asking friends online for recommendations of things to do around the Bay Area. And by things to do I meant places I could eat. I'm a bit of a glutton.
I started researching more about the con and found out how it is a volunteer-based organization, made possible by their common love for science fiction. A fan convention by the fans for the fans. While living in Orange County, I had the chance to attend a couple of Comic-cons in San Diego and the Animexpo before it moved to Los Angeles. But the Worldcon was something different, it felt more personal. I pleasantly saw this firsthand during my time there.
The saying "It takes a village…" can be easily used to describe the efforts it took to plan and had things sorted out for my Worldcon debut. My eagerness made me jump for the opportunity but some aspects started to pop in my mind. What do I make?
I wanted a science fiction and fantasy angle but how do I develop it? Do I want plated food or self-serve? Can I go with something simple yet fulfilling? How do I not disappoint people? I can imagine we all deal with that last one A LOT.
After my trip to Japan, things started to get in high gear. I was included in an email chain among some of the persons involved with the reception. Facts started to pop from this conversations, thankfully answering some of my previous questions.
Budget: Open but no caviar filled lobsters with gold leaf and foie gras croutons on their expense!
I was still undecided on what to make that could be good for the event. Thankfully, something helped me figure it out.
On June 11th I had the chance to FINALLY meet John Picacio. He came to Austin as Robert C. Cargill was signing copies of his collection of short fiction "We Are Where The Nightmares Go" at Bookpeople, our local independent and awesome bookstore. John provided the cover art and they had a very interesting chat, sharing stories from their past, from their movie credits (Sinister, Doctor Strange) to their famed collaborations (Game of Thrones Calendar).
It was great to finally meet John. I waited until everyone had their copies signed and timidly approached the table. My shyness disappeared when I saw John and immediately recognized me. "I'm so glad to finally meet you, brother!" He said effusively. I still get a chill whenever I think about this first encounter, as his energy and kindness was palpable. He was REALLY glad to see me. Heartwarming doesn't even start to describe it. He introduced me to Robert, who I had briefly met during the Austin premiere of Doctor Strange, where he had a brief Q&A at the end. We chatted about the Mexicanx Initiative and the fortunate circumstances that led me to meeting Jodorowski in Paris.
And like that, my initial fears subsided. He also shared finger food would be a good idea, something that could be easily enjoyed and without too much fuzz. The wheels in my brain started turning.
I started thinking something showing my traditions as well as the new lessons I've learnt in the US. The choice was simple: gorditas, a Mexican specialty of stuffed fried masa dough. I opted for a smaller version of these, around the size of a mason jar mouth. There would be two versions, one for meat eaters, another one for vegans. The meat option would be filled with carnitas estilo Michoacan, using my grandmother's recipe but adapting it to a modern technique called sous vide. With it you cook the food at a constant temperature to assure more tender and intense flavors. The vegan version would be vegan carnitas, made with mushrooms, using sous vide too.
Now, the science fiction angle. The easiest way would be playing with my specialty: salsas. I opted for making 7 salsas, each spicier than the previous one. The first one that came to my mind was Soylent Verde, because it was an easy pun. My dear Aussie friend Paul CZ came up with a couple of the other names: Picard de Gallo — Make It Salsa happened while eating BBQ, while Obi Juan Chipotle was sent over Messenger later that same day.
Who am I kidding?! I can't stay mad at you, Paul!
The Melange/Spice/Blue Salsa would need some experimentation with new ingredients, modernist cuisine techniques and hot peppers. Just what I love. Tears in the Rain was suggested by John through the email chain with the planning group. Dracarys, named after the fire spewed by the dragons in Game of Thrones would be the spiciest one as a local farmer grew a test batch of Carolina Reapers, the hottest pepper ever created. She saved me 4. Mischievous glee crossed my face when I received the piquant bounty. The name was kindly suggested by my friend Stacy, as she is a better expert on Game of Thrones lore than I'll ever be.
My friend Paul was also very reassuring. "Everyone wants to see you succeed," he told me, during that BBQ friend-date. Simple, yet effective. I felt how parts of my impostor syndrome were melting away.
Things were moving along nicely. I had a menu in my mind and some Mexperiments coming soon. Next step: the kitchen lab!

S.F. singer/songwriter Mark Growden returns with new disc and new commitment to music

Mark Growden CD-release show at The Frame Thursday, Nov. 19, 9 p.m. MaMuse and Erin Lizardo open. Tickets: $12.
2280 Ivy St. (Park to Meyers to Ivy) 342-5275
It started as just a name about four years ago, one that I kept hearing after the fact: "Mark Growden was amazing last night at the Crux." It was always at the Crux—some last-minute show or loose party performance at the now-defunct art gallery. And I missed them all.
I eventually did catch Growden's act, one December night in 2006, at the 1078 Gallery. When it was his turn to play, he just stood up in the center of the big, dimly lit room with his accordion—no amplification—and proceeded to growl his way through a moving set of moody tunes that seemed to be extracted from the grayness of the late-fall night.
Today, I count the San Francisco singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist, who will be performing and debuting his brand new CD Saint Judas at The Frame tonight, Nov. 19, as one of my favorite songwriters.
I didn't know it then, but as I searched the Internet for elusive recordings by the mysterious performer, it turned out that Growden's background went much deeper than a series of mostly anonymous Chico art gallery shows. He is no newcomer.
From the early 1990s through 2005, Growden was a fixture in the Bay Area, starting with playing art music with a who's who of experimental musicians in various ensembles before eventually moving on to singing and songwriting. He has scored a dozen films and videos, composed music for plays and dance performances, and he even puts on underground site-specific performances as part of the COVERT series he co-produces along with John Law of the loose-knit Cacophony Society.
Once he put on the songwriting hat, though, his profile began to elevate. He strapped on an accordion and surrounded himself with some of the Bay Area's best players—including guitarist Myles Boisen and trumpet player Chris Grady, both of whom have worked with Tom Waits, among others—and created an act that caused writers to gush: "Torrid lyricism and fierce accordion rascality"; "An avatar of bohemian weirdness on a par with Tom Waits or Joe Henry."
Then, he burned out. He quit music, moved away to Westwood, his childhood home in the foothills of Lassen Peak, and switched to painting.
"I toured a lot and started to get some fame and I didn't know what to do," said Growden, speaking on his cell phone as he walked to his S.F. apartment with carrot juice in hand. "I sort of started playing a role of what people wanted me to be. That had a real negative impact on my soul."
It was during this down time that Growden made the most of those storied CRUX appearances. Chico artist/CRUX member David "Dragonboy" Sutherland had seen Growden perform at a party and invited him to play. Slowly, Growden found his way back to music.
"I didn't know I was going to go back to music," Growden said, reflecting on that time. Now 40, he says he's come to terms with the fact that his gift is making music and that he has to do it. And as for the spotlight and attention that comes with the work?
"It's not about me, it's about the work," he says. "I know what to do with it now."
What he's done is record his first studio album in eight years. Boisen and Grady returned for the recording and were joined by cellist Alex Kelly, percussionist Jenya Chernoff and upright bassist Seth Ford-Young (who's played with everyone from Eric McFadden to Waits, and who will be joining Growden for his stripped-down Chico show). Engineered by the legendary Oz Fritz, Saint Judas is a lusty, somewhat loosely presented collection of poems set to disjointed waltzes and dark ballads of biblical proportion.
"With this album I reference the Bible a lot. … I'm reclaiming characters," Growden says. "I have an affinity for the character of Judas," he adds referencing his invented title character. "I relate to the antihero."
The Chico show, as well as a handful of other West Coast dates, is part of a "narrow release" of Saint Judas. Growden's new label, San Francisco's Porto Franco Records, is planning a world-wide release—with attendant international tour—for March 2010.

Working by intuition, relying on instinct, my process involves developing several paintings at a time, allowing me to explore many ideas that I divide by themes in series. I paint mostly with acrylic on canvas, naturally making unconscious decisions about what colors to use and how I will blend them to my satisfaction.
Because I am a very much grounded person close to nature, one can find in my work, textures that resemble roots, splashes that are reminiscent of wild flowered fields and colored scrapes that suggest mineral veins.

LOW CUT CONNIE and BIG FREEDIA
Thu 11/07/2019 (7pm/$22)
The first time we saw Low Cut Connie at Rock the Garden 2018, they really blew us away with their high-octane performance (especially for being first on the bill).
We caught them at their headlining gig at First Avenue Nov 1st and said, "Follow up gigs at increasingly larger rooms have only exponentially increased the local fan base and buzz, culminating in a memorable opening set in the heat and humidity of this past July's Rock the Garden, a record store appearance just a few weeks later that transformed the retail outlet into the feel of a hot house juke joint, and this stomping eighty-minute good time, inside a crowded Mainroom."
This time, the piano-driven group is co-headlining with Big Freedia, which should be quite an interesting show.

RA RA RIOT
+ Bayonne, Whosah
To be honest, I thought Ra Ra Riot broke up … seeing as their previous record, Need Your Light (Barsuk Records) came out in 2016. It appears the band never left, and they've released Superbloom on Rob the Rich Recordings/Caroline in August, and set to tour this fall/winter.
We caught RRR in Sep 2016 and wrote, "The band is out in support of Need Your Light (Barsuk Records), released earlier this year as their fourth full-length for the label. With the departure of original cellist Alex Lawn in 2012, the band's sound has turned more electronic and their near hour-long set didn't look as much to their past, as much as to their present and future."

Swedish singer/songwriter Léon is back in Minneapolis. She's bringing Morgan Saint on tour with her.
We caught Saint in October 2018, and wrote, "Morgan Saint's set is full of very personal and heart felt song, as an example "Glass House" was introduced as, "this is my most personal song I've ever written." The song is about being broken, and asking someone to understand. You get a sense that the person does not respond to the protagonist, even though the song is demanding love ("F**king love me now, love me now, love me now")."

Bayonne is currently touring in support of their sophomore album Drastic Measures. We saw Bayonne in April 2017 and mentioned, "Opening up the show was Austin's Bayonne, the stagename for one-man-band Roger Sellers, with a brief 30-min set. Armed with headphones and using various loops and pre-recorded beats, combined with raw vocal performances and sometime live instruments, Bayonne was able to recreate some unique songs. Some of the songs sounded like what Thom Yorke (Radiohead) would create with his experiments."

The last time we saw The Drums, it was in 2014: "Riding in on a spectacular wave of beachy, bittersweet synth-pop, The Drums established a dedicated following with 2010's self-titled and 2011's Portamento; two records that practically sound like a greatest hits, each song better than the last. The band is currently touring behind their most recent release, Encyclopedia, and while there have been a few line-up changes since they were last in town, yesterday evening found them in fine form."
So… it's been many, many years since they were active… but we're glad to see that they're back. The Drums will play The Turf Club in St Paul on April 30th.

It's been a few years since we last saw Minus the Bear. The band is back to promote their new album Voids, which just came out on March 3rd, 2017, via Suicide Squeeze Records. …
Seattle's Minus the Bear stopped by the Fine Line Music Café as part of their tour in support of their new record, Voids (Suicide Squeeze Records).
Opening up the show was Austin's Bayonne, the stagename for one-man-band Roger Sellers, with a brief 30-min set. Armed with headphones and using various loops and pre-recorded beats, combined with raw vocal performances and sometime live instruments, Bayonne was able to recreate some unique songs. Some of the songs sounded like what Thom Yorke (Radiohead) would create with his experiments.
It only took fifteen minutes for Philadelphia's Beach Slang to come on stage to play a 45-min set. The last time we saw them, it was just singer James Alex on his solo tour. The story behind the "solo tour" was that their guitarist Ruben Gallego was fired from the band just days before their tour, so James Alex and bassist Ed McNulty decided to do a solo tour.
Anyway, this time around, James Alex and Ed McNulty has a full backing band, which included new guitarist Aurore Ounjian from Mean Creek, and drummer Cully Symington from Cursive.
Singer/guitarist James Alex was happy as a clam at the Minneapolis show, because he's just met Slim Dunlap (the "replacement" Replacements guitarist) hours earlier. Of the three times we've seen the band, this was possibly Alex's most glowing and talkative show.
It really got obviously off-script halfway into their set when they started just playing Santana's distinctive intro riffs from 'Smooth'. Alex joked that of all the things that has been written about them, the words "professional" and "Santana-like" has never been used.
There's also a running joke of "if Angus Young and Harry Potter had a baby", it would look like Alex. On tour, they started collecting other names, like Jack White, Steve Buscemi, "That Dude from School of Rock" (Jack Black), etc.
After their cover of The Pixies' 'Where Is My Mind?', Alex quickly started playing The Replacements' 'Alex Chilton'. It didn't last long, only the first few lines, before Alex stopped and said that their set time was almost over, but he didn't want to leave without paying respect for the 'Mats. Then a drink and some 'Give It Away' notes and lines, the band ended their set with their finest song, 'Atom Bomb'.
According to Alex, Beach Slang will be returning to Minneapolis for a headlining show at the Triple Rock Social Club in the fall (probably around "Rocktober"?)
Although we saw Minus the Bear in 2014, for their 10th anniversary of They Make Beer Commercials Like This, the truth is, the band hasn't released any new music since 2012's Infinity Overhead (Dangerbird Records). That all changed with their return to Suicide Squeeze Records for Voids.
With the new record, some critics was worried that with their original founding member and drummer Erin Tate, that the band has lost their "hip hop" groove, but personally speaking, I don't think that is what Minus the Bear is all about. Still, the departure of the drummer suggests that it wasn't amicable.
The band was obligated to play some Voids songs ('Last Kiss', 'Give & Take', 'Call the Cops', etc), but the set wasn't Voids-focused at all. Which was fine as far as the audience was concern, as they were more than happy to clap and cheer for the older songs.

Fidlar (stylized as FIDLAR) is back in town! The last time they were here in September 2015, we wrote, "The crowd sang, no they screamed, along to every word of every song. It didn't matter that they were being shoved up against the thigh high stage (which leaves some gnarly bruises), nobody missed a beat. With lyrics like "I drink cheap beer, so what, f**k you" what is there not to love?"
FIDLAR's new record Too is out now on Mom+Pop.
Joining Fidlar will be SWMRS. The last time the band was in town, it was with WAVVES in September 2015 when they only had one single ('Miley').
Now the band's debut Drive North was praised by Rolling Stone, calling them "Best New Artists 2016". Drive North was produced by FIDLAR frontman Zac Carper, so it is easy to see why FIDLAR asked SWMRS to come on tour with them.
The Frights to open. Their debut album You Are Going To Hate This was also produced by Zac Carper (that dude gets around).
Amoeba Music says The Frights "make music that's a lot smarter than it would appear. Beneath the bratty, corrosive surface lies a rare tunefulness and dedication to dialing up rock's past...startlingly great at kicking out the garagey jams."

The Umami and Bayonne co-headlining show just took place last night, January 27th, at the 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis.
Bayonne is a musician from Austin, TX. No, scratch that, he is more than just a musician, he's a true entertainer. Bayonne completely blew me away last night. He had more than enough energy to keep me captivated by not only his live music, but also his stage presence. None of the bands that played last night were boring in any way but Bayonne had more energy and charisma on stage than the other two bands put together.
His set up was simple, or at least it looked kind of simple. It was just a table with a bunch of cords, pedals and some sample pads on it. He had a snare, tom and a cymbal lined up next to it but that was it. There were no guitars, there wasn't a huge drum kit, it was literally just a dude with some cords and some drums. I didn't think he would be exciting to watch. I was bracing myself for impact when he took the stage. I know all of the press about Bayonne says he is "not a DJ" but still, with the setup he had going, I could not help but assume that it was going to be just like one of the annoying "wub wub" techno DJ's that put me to sleep. Good God I was wrong. It was impossible to look away from the stage as he would wander around and figure out what he was going to do next.
It almost seemed like he didn't have set music to play. He seemed to attack the various pedals and sample pads that were strewn across the table. It was as if you could see him thinking about what to do next. You could see him shaking his head or clenching his jaw as he pressed the next button. He hit every button with a purpose. Even though it seemed like he was just kind of making it up as he went, everything he did was done with conviction.
His music was a mix of almost "wub-wub" music (aka techno) but it had a heavy indie rock influence in it. It was upbeat but his lyrics seemed dark and had an intense echo on them that Bayonne then played around with using the pedals and what not. The music he played wasn't my scene but the entertainment that is Bayonne in a live setting was more than enough to make me fall in love. Plus, any musician that sells hot sauce automatically wins me over!
Umami was the last band of the night. They were great but Bayonne was such a hard act to follow. Honestly, I was still in awe of Bayonne's set and it seemed like Umami just could not keep my attention. That being said, if you like strange, almost electronic at times but also rock at other times, music, then you definitely need to check these guys out. I saw them open up for Yeasayer about three years ago and they blew me away. I wish they wouldn't have closed out the show last night so I was able to give them the attention that they deserve. That being said, they definitely weren't bad last night and I will definitely be keeping an eye on their calendar so I can see them again. Look for Umami's upcoming new album from Totally Gross National Product.
The show was opened by Beasthead. These guys were strange but in the best way possibly. (Actually, looking back on it, all of the music last night was strange.) The best part about these guys is it seems like they know that they are kind of boring on stage so they had some visuals going on around them.
There was your classic white bed sheet along one of the walls in the venue. There was a computer set up with what looked like a soundboard and a camera next to it. What happened next is super hard to explain. There were video clips being played but they were super distorted. I caught clips of The Wizard of Oz and Donnie Darko but the rest was pretty unrecognizable. There were also times where the crowd and musicians were being projected onto the sheet. But again, everything was super distorted and colorful.
When you take this and add the indie-rock electronic sound that is Beasthead, you are given a truly great experience. Like the other bands, the music really isn't my scene but the fact that they took the time to figure out something to entertain everyone while they play is something that I truly appreciate. That's not to say that they wouldn't have been fine with just the music and them on stage. They were talented and clean and unique, but the fact that they had the visual made them a stand out local act for me.
Bayonne is currently on the road to getting people excited about his upcoming debut album Primitives is coming out on March 25th, 2016, via Mom+Pop Music. Catch Bayonne at the Sasquatch Music Festival this May 27-30.

Josh Ritter (who we previously described as "happiest man alive") and his band The Royal City Band will be stopping by the historic Pantages Theatre next Wednesday, January 27th, as part of his promotional tour for his latest Sermon On The Rocks, available now on Pytheas Recordings/Thirty Tigers.
The record was named one of American Songwriter's "Top 50 Albums of 2015" and PopMatters' "80 Best Albums of 2015," while Paste Magazine including his song "Birds of the Meadow" in their "50 Best Songs of 2015" list. The New York Times was so impressed, comparing Ritter to "Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and maybe a little Mark Knopfler."
Opening will be Colorado's Elephant Revival, who we previously saw in 2014 and noted that they kept the entire audience dancing throughout their set with their Americana/Bluegrass music.

UMAMI and BAYONNE
with Beasthead
Wednesday, 01/27/16, 7pm ($8)
Bayonne, the new moniker of Austin-based Roger Sellers, will be making a stop at the 7th Street Entry on Wednesday, January 27th. The artistic style of Roger Sellers is all over the place. Think folk-dance-americana-electric-symphonic fusion. His multi-layered instrumentation paints a complete picture even though he is a one-man show.
Primitives is Bayonne's debut album, its maze-like music structures are hints of both Steve Reich and Owen Pallett, each instrument working a single melodic pattern over and over and over. Primitives is set for release on Mom+Pop Music on March 25th, but Sellers will likely preview these songs live at the 7th Street Entry.
Listed as co-headliner is local Umami, described as "an Electro-Psych band".
Beasthead will open.
January 20: Washington, D.C. - Black Cat
January 21: Philadelphia, PA - Johnny Brenda's

BOWIEOKE
An All Bowie Karaoke Celebration
hosted by Ian Rans
at Turf Club
Thursday, 01/28/16, 7:30pm ($5)
As you know, with the unexpected passing of David Bowie, there was great sadness across the country. There were also plenty of quick pop-up dance nights including Bowie Movie Night taking place tonight at the Turf Club and this upcoming Bowieoke, an "all-Bowie Karaoke Celebration", hosted by Ian Rans.
We're continuing to celebrate the legend that is David Bowie with an ALL BOWIE KARAOKE.
Channel your inner Bowie for the costume contests and various space oddities.
If you need a little inspiration on which Bowie you might be, take this "Which Bowie Are You" quiz: j.mp/1Ual2GG
Expect to hear Bowie's classics like "Space Oddity"... but personally, I like the Jimmy Kimmel's "Tebowie" version from Blow Your Pants Off:
Tim Tebow to Jesus Christ
Can't win by myself but with your help I might
Commencing fourth down hut hut hike
Snap the football and may God's love be with me
