After the Rage Against the Machine march fragmented the cops started pushing the protesters back, away from the Xcel. They cordoned off streets and used tear gas and pepper spray. There's huge explosions around 1:20 -- not sure what they were, but probably tear gas launchers. The crowd gets pissed and starts yelling at the cops. Then the tear gas blows our direction.More at: www.ElectricMonkeyPants.com [ More Detail ]

July 15, 2008: Here is a little video I made while refilling the pond in the egret aviary at IBRRC. All wasn't so peaceful when I first entered, but after a few minutes the residents concluded I wasn't going to eat them. So they settled down to their usual routines of wading in the water, flying from perch to perch, eating, and pecking their neighbor. This aging aviary was beautifully restored this spring by Monte, one of our rehabilitation experts. A small pond was created, pots of plants were added (he took the plants from the marsh behind IBRRC), and two layers of netting were hung inside to protect the birds' beaks from the metal mesh of the cage and to give the birds some privacy. Large gravel was added (the aviary sits on the ground) so we could hose it down without creating mud puddles. There are shallow bowls filled with water and smelt (the water keeps the fish fresh and discourages ants).The other side of the aviary, which you don't see here, has large branches suspended with bungee cords. The idea is to mimic nature, so that after these birds are released, they won't be frightened when the tree branch they land on moves. These beautiful birds are snowy egrets and cattle egrets.To see part 2 of this video, showing the branches suspended by bungee cords, click here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5HJNKZBYgshttp://www.ibrrc.org/ [ More Detail ]

A peaceful solution...For more info check out Willie Nelson's Web site: http://willienelsonpri.comWritten By Willie &Amy Nelson This is a very cool project...and I definitely wanted to be a part of it...in 1 way or another. I am very thankful to have been asked.*Thank U 2 ParadiseEarth1...his actually was the 1st version of 'Peaceful Solution' that I listened 2....it's the one that has stuck with me the most......Lately I've been leaving the mics set up so I can pick up the guitar and hit the record button &'see what happens'... 2 B honest...during the 1st 5-10 minutes of these jams, I'm keenly aware of being recorded, as if I'm being prejudged on my imperfections - way back there in the subconscious...it makes it difficult to let go...but sooner or later I'm able to spread my wings....(this is especially apparent in regard to my lyrical improvs) but really most of it is booshwa'...but every once in a while something kinda cool happens....(kinda like life)...'peaceful solution' is one of these improvs...I tried to add some overdubbs to disguise some of my 'cosmic burps'....___________________________I died a mineral and became a plant; I died a plant and rose an animal; I died an animal and I was a man. Why should I fear? When was I less by dying? Yet once more I shall die as a man, to soar With blessed angels; even from angelhood I must pass on ... When I have sacrificed my angel soul, I shall become that which no mind conceived.
