You needn't be a Deadhead or a Phish-phile to appreciate the String Cheese Incident's multi-ethnic blend of eclectic styles and feel-good vibes, originating from Colorado, rooted in bluegrass, and transmitting to the world via this warmly hypnotic concert, captured on December 31, 2000, in Portland, Oregon.

The Shield - The Complete Fourth Season
Sale Price: $14.30
|
|
|
With the addition of Glenn Close to its already excellent cast, The Shield entered its fourth season with tensions high and tempers flaring. Aceveda (Benito Martinez) has gained political clout on the City Council, and former Farmington district officer Monica Rawling (Close) is introduced as the new Captain of "the Barn," where she immediately confronts a maelstrom of personal and professional turmoil. His strike team now splintered, Mackey (Michael Chiklis) has returned to routine detective duty, while Shane (Walton Goggins) and new partner "Army" Renta (Michael Peña) are neck-deep in trouble with Farmington's "untouchable" drug-lord, Antwon Mitchell, a new villain played to perfection by actor/comedian Anthony Anderson. This seemingly traitorous predicament places Shane at further odds with former strike-teammates Mackie, Lemon (Kenneth Johnson) and Ronnie (David Rees Snell), and while Wyms (CCH Pounder) resents Rawling's promotion, the "Dutch" (Jay Karnes) makes a selfish backroom deal that causes further friction with Wyms and Mackey. Tensions are intensified by Rawling's aggressive seizure of homes and property paid for with drug money -- an effective campaign that forces "Danny" (Catherine Dent) and Julien (Michael Jace) and the entire police force to take sides in a hotly divisive civil rights debate that culminates in the murder of two Farmington cops. Although some critics felt Close was too refined for a series as gritty as The Shield, she quickly found her place in the show's tight ensemble, earning an Emmy nomination (along with Pounder) and giving Mackey a formidable boss who earns his respect. And while Aceveda wrestles with psychosexual demons resulting from his humiliation in season 3, the high-stakes threat of Antwon Mitchell embroils the Barn in a cauldron of mistrust and political upheaval. More than any previous season, this 13-episode story arc is character-based and internally driven by clashing agendas. Sub-plots run the gamut of neighborhood killings and gang-banger conflict, but as always The Shield also finds room for plenty of mordant wit and tension-relieving sarcasm. Like all previous Shield DVDs, this four-disc set includes informative episode commentaries from the entire cast (including Close) engaged in revealing discussions of their creative process with creator Shawn Ryan and several primary writers and directors. Best of all, the "Under the Skin" documentary is a way-above-average, 60-minute survey of The Shield's day-to-day production, offering plenty of behind-the-scenes footage and eloquent insight about the challenge of maintaining high-quality drama during a fast-paced guerilla production schedule. It's essential viewing for Shield fans and anyone considering a career in television. --Jeff Shannon
All 13 episodes from the fourth season--including "The Cure" (which introduces Glenn Close as Capt. Monica Rawling), "Doghouse," "Hurts," "Back in the Hole," and "Ain't That a Shame"--are featured in a four-disc set. 10 1/2 hrs. total.

More Info On Strings Tips:

How To Change Your Acoustic Guitar Strings
My old mate Wayne the karate black belt; surfer and finest fold guitar player I have ever heard taught me how to change the strings on my guitar systematically, so thanks Wayne.
Start by finding a very clean and very flat surface to lay your guitar on. The first time Wayne helped me to change my guitar strings it was on a floor but we lay down a large piece of new vinyl and made sure it was very clean. Therefore, a table or the floor is fine.
Start by placing your guitar on the flat and clean surface. Place yourself directly in front of the guitar; make sure that the guitar's sixth string is on the side closest to you. Then loosen that string completely, so all the tension is off it and it is slack. To loosen the string you will need to turn your guitars tuner. Wayne showed me that by listening to the pitch that the note was making when I stumped my guitar I could tell which way to turn the guitars tuner. As you turn the tuner, the correct direction the pitch of notes will get lower as you strum the guitar and the string begins to slacken.
When you have done this and the string is very slack, loosen it completely until it comes away from the guitars tuning peg at that sits up at the top of your guitar.
STAGE ONE: Loosening off the Guitar String
Step one: Use some pliers to release the sixth string by gently taking the bridge pin out that is holding the string from the guitars bridge. This can take some practice and the first time you do this the pin will feel like it is lodged very tightly, persist and firmly but carefully pull the pin free. They are stronger then you would imagine.
Step Two: Get rid of your old guitar string it is not much use for anything that I can think of. Take advantage of the gap removing the string from your guitar has created, give your pride, and joy a cleanup. I usually attach a small piece of clean cloth to a wooden spoon, slide it in to the gap created, and move it around underneath the area that the other strings sit over. If you are keen, you may even use some polish on your guitar and get it very shiny.
Step Three: Always replace only one string at a time. Sensei Wayne was very big on this, as he explained all about neck tension and how the changes that swapping all the strings over at once will cause to the guitars sound could be very detrimental.
Wayne explained to me that because a guitar has six strings all bound tightly from the bridge to the tuning pegs the optimum level of tension needs to be retained. When he showed me, the amount of tension on the neck that was released when we undid the sixth string it made sense. Guitars that are made of wood have so much pressure and tension of their necks with all six strings pulled tight, that if they are all released at once this is not at all good for the guitar.
Without labouring on this particular issue, Wayne is somebody who has played guitar for thirty years and travelled a lot and asked a lot of questions so I took his word on the subject of changing one string at a time and have since read of it's importance a number of times. One example of a problem that changing all the strings at once caused was that he could never get his strings to sit at the right height when he reattached them again. Although they were sitting straight and rigid, the guitar sounded too high-pitched and the strings looked like they had a large gap from guitar to string.
Tip to Make the Job easier.
A String winder is relatively inexpensive to buy and if you are going to change your own strings, it will be a great investment.
STAGE TWO: Attaching New Strings
Step One: When you take out your new strings, you will notice that they each have a small ball at one end of the string. Take that end and push the ball up a couple of centimetres, then push the string down into the hole at the guitars bridge. Pick up the pin for the hole that you have sitting on a clean piece of cloth, wipe it thoroughly and then push the pin back into the hole in the bridge over the string.
As you, push the bridge pin back in pull on the string until the ball slots neatly back into place. You will probably find until you have done this process a few times that the pin will not stick, but simply redo the process until the pin lodges tightly.
Step Two: Once the pin has lodged, I get a pair of tweezers and gently pull the string up towards the head of the guitar. Make sure that the string is pulled firmly and that all the slack on the string has gone. Pull the string about 2cm past where the tuning peg sits and what I always do then is twist the string and place a clean clothes peg on it.
Step Three: Align your tuning peg so that you can feed the extra 2cm piece of string protruding from the peg. Remove the peg whilst holding the string at the 2cm mark and push the string through the tuning peg. Once the string is fed through either grip it again with the peg or like, I do with the tweezers and then we can tighten the string.
Step Four: If you have purchased a string winder, it really will save you lots of time. Start by tuning your tuning peg by turning it counter clockwise, and with one hand gently pull on the string to create some tension. Whilst continuing to hold the string pushes the string down onto your guitars freeboard with one finger whilst using the rest of your fingers to pull the string up. Continue to turn the tuning peg as you do this.
Step Five:Keep twisting the tuner peg counter-clockwise, until the string is sounding like it is almost intune.Although brought into tune, pitch will be difficult to keep, without us taking a simple key step. Grip the string over the guitars sound-hole and pull towards the guitars head and count to ten. Pluck on the string gently and you will note with the additional tension that the note has dropped. Simply retune the string three separate times and then trim the excess string that is protruding from the tuning peg.
Finally, use a pair of wire cutters (or an equivalent) to trim the excess string. Snip off the end of the string protruding from the tuning peg.
If you are new to guitar ownership then many of the online courses and tutorials available also offer great videos and written instruction of this subject and maintaining your guitar. If someone had told me, they were learning guitar online ten years ago, I would have laughed at them, but there really are some magnificent online guitar lessons available at very inexpensive prices.

How to overcome fear of guitar strings snapping?
hi guys. I know this question is a little dumb. But I'm so freakin phobic of my electric guitar strings snapping when I'm playing it or when I'm tuning it up! So much so that I don't practice as much bending as I should be.
So does anyone have any tips to help me get over this terrible phobia of mine!!?? Anything at all, I'm desperate!! Please be nicer, I'm a girl. Most of us are terrified of this sorta thing. haha.
THANK YOU THANK YOU!
Guitar strings are pretty strong. They will break at the bridge 90% of the time since that is where the saddle holds the string in place. In the long run, not always, the string snaps there because that is where their is friction due to string tuning and wears it out slightly.
Like I said, if the string is well seated in the slot, it can last a couple of months. Keep spare ones.
If you pick with a hard pick , or you pick to hard and the string is a light gauge, it can snap unexpectedly. I probably broke 5 strings in 30 years and I play regularly.
Change your strings regularly if you practice daily. That means, every 2 or 3 months at the maximum. The string dies and it is always fun to play on new strings. The response is different.
An old trick I use is that, once I have issues tuning the first 2 strings, that means they are shot. So I replace these two. The second time it happens, I change the entire set.
Don;t be afraid especially on an acoustic guitar. The strings are extra strong. Just remember that a string will break most of the time, when it is OLD and 6 months to a year on the guitar which is normal.
