Push Americans to cut energy use
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - With U.S. heating fuel bills expected to soar this winter, the Bush administration on Monday will unveil a national campaign to show households, businesses and the federal government how to save energy and reduce their heating expenses.
The government has warned Americans to get ready for higher heating fuel bills this winter, due in part to the shutdown of oil refineries and natural gas processing plants and the disruption in oil and natural gas production in the Gulf of Mexico caused by Hurricanes Rita and Katrina.
For consumers who warm their homes with natural gas, their winter costs would be 52 percent higher nationally from last year, according to the Energy Information Administration.
The Energy Department's analytical arm forecast heating oil expenses would rise 34 percent and electricity bills would be up 11 percent.
U.S. Energy Secretary Sam Bodman and the Alliance to Save Energy consumer group will announce a joint program on Monday to encourage Americans to cut back their energy usage and shave their heating bills.
In three new radio public service announcements, Bodman will convey the message that consumers "have the power" to manage their energy bills and use energy efficiency to ease "the pinch of high energy prices." The ads cover home heating, gasoline and the purchase of energy-efficient appliances with the ENERGY STAR label.
One radio spot also encourages consumers to install sufficient insulation in their homes and use a programmable thermostat to lower winter heating bills.

Good Morning Satchland......
Supadave..... You stole my lines.....LOL...Just Kiddin'
SteveeT...... Well....The wait is over. You finially got Chomeboy. I'm happy for ya. Post a pic soon.....I'd luv to drool over that pic. Take care.
Suzie2000......Try and pretend it's Tues. It could work. I'm for Tues thru Fri 10 hr a day work week. You always need that extra day.
Cheese...... Sounds like you had a great time. I'm glad you got to meet and talk to Joe and got home safe. Did Joe mention or did you ask about the new CD? Just curious. I know he was busy with the Nascar soundtrack. Post the pics when you get a chance. Take care.
Michelle..... Great talkin' with ya in the chat. I was on Cindy's lap top outside by the fire. I couldn't see shit when typing. Sorry. It was fun while it lasted. Take care.
T2JCD......I'm excited the CD will be finished soon. Kudos to all who worked so hard for the project. I'm sad about the fighting and really don't know much about what went wrong. From the posts I've read you clearly have a right to be pissed. But I'm thinking if there are disputes surrounding the project maybe you guys should keep it private and not post the problems on T2J. I know this is an open forum....and you guys were posting the rebutals to Trutina's post. I'm also thinking if Joe hears what's going on he my just say NO MORE T2J CD'S. That would be a huge loss and what would Joe think of us then. His Fans who love and repect him so much. The T2J CD is a tribute to Joe and a great idea that gives wonderful exposure to the musicians. We're all here because of Joe. We all have friends from all over the world becuase of T2J. I don't want to see the CD or any of us tarnished in anyway. Just a thought. Sorry....Maybe I should have kept my 2 cents in my pocket.
Have A Great Day Everyone ! ! ! !

The speakers in the back corners were for the soundtrack of Operation Mindcrime (the gun shots, the telephone ringing, ect). When I saw them in Chicago, I was in front - 2nd row for part of the first act, and right in front of one of the speakers for OPC and heard the phone ringing (too soon). They were not playing to a sound track - it was used for the extra sounds.
When I saw them - sold out. They were really advertising the show around here - including on Chicago radio (kinda unheard of) now I understand why.

Hi everybody in this beautiful land, the land of Joe...
Wow, I haven't posted in a while because life's been very busy lately. I've been so, so far behind on posts...But finally, I
have some time today to post, I have been taken some time to catch up with all these wonderful posts...
Keniko: "Today I have writers block....No more poems.... ( sad face)
This gives me a great idea..... How about a T2J poetry book written by the talented poets on this forum? (excluding me of
coase cause as you can see I suck at it and Yes...I still don't give a shit..LOL.)"
I think this is an excellent idea, to make a book written by all of us togheter, I love the idea, it could be something
beautiful, to have this book all in our homes like a forever link between all of us and...I could show some unknown poetry
skills I have to everyone ;-) And it would be cool the prologue written by Joe.
cuthbert1776: "Keniko I like it.
In fact, I would like to expand upon the idea.
We could have the poetry "contest" (though poems can be short, so you can fit a lot on one disc) and have them spoken word (or printed), buyer's choice. I, of course, would do the reading on the CD version, having the professionally-trained radio voice that I do (yes, there was a life before the bits and bytes).
Then, Joe could select -- or WE could select, to keep Joe from being on the spot -- a poem to put to new music, which he would, of course, have his ...ahem.."friend" (the Chrome-atic Surfer? y'all remember Vai's pal 'Reckless Fable') record for distribution. Or not."
I love your idea too. It would be cool to see the whole thing flourish...
Suzie2000: "Have been obsessed with bidding on e-bay the past few days so haven't got on here very much! Hope everyone's having a good evening :)"
Haha Suzie, I know what is being obssesed with bidding on e-bay...my last obssesion on e-bay has been the
purchase of a bottle of Steve Vai Fire Garden Honey!!!
Zinc Master, I love English language :-)
MichaelStevensG, "Jesus... does no one know? Or are my posts just invisible?"
Your posts are not invisible :-)
Zinc Master, "What's the similarity between a tornado and an Alabama divorce? Somebody's gonna' lose a trailer... "
Good joke! LOL
gotta have Joe, "Joe: ........ I love you man. If I ever get married I want you to play at my wedding..."
That's beautiful. If I ever get married someday too...I would love Joe to play too...but he is a really busy man. But I would love also to have one of the guitar geniuses at Talk To Joe playing at that hypothetical wedding of mine...Clarky or Simon (962) or The Blues Mavericks...an all-expenses-paid trip of course ;-)
cheese101, hi Tracie! nice review, thanks for sharing :-)
marimariSRV, "Joe charges $50,000 for a performance like that. I was at his last Keswick show and someone asked Mick his manager how much it would cost to have JOe play at their party"
Definitely impossible for me LOL. Mari, hi, how are you doing? I have EVO tickets for Vai in Madrid and normal tickets
for Barcelona so I guess I will have a nice mini Vai tour too
;-)
"I'm having fun LIVING.....and so it should go. Live your LIFE while YOU ARE ALIVE! You've ONLY GOT ONE LiFE To LIVE...! Rock ON!"
And amen to that! Have a nice day :-)

:-(
Keniko, "T2JCD......I'm excited the CD will be finished soon. Kudos to all who worked so hard for the project. I'm sad

The U.S. Govt. or the Middle Easterners or anyone else for that matter doesn't own the planet and it's resources?
Back in the days of old, the people of the land respected the very land they called home. They would only take what they needed. They would reseed and new growth would come forth for their efforts. When they killed the animals, they would eat only what they needed. There wasn't a part of this animal being that went to waste. Water bags, clothing, medicine, even fuel out of one kill. They would allow for nature to take it's course and replenish in the spring. So in turn THE EARTH was in good spirits with these people of old. Fast forward to the late 1700's, The english moved to north america with new hopes and dreams. But also with deep rooted beliefs that this new land and all in it was their's?
Fast forward again to the 1800's gold & silver were found.
Again these people that originally came from across the ocean now had roots and off spring of their own that were being born in this new land. They raped and destroyed this land, never did they think that they might be causing more harm than good. It wasn't about taking care of THE EARTH, no this is our land and we will do as we see fit let us take all this gold and silver and use it for our own needs. Power, greed, murder it didn't matter "we are protecting our own" We have taken control this is our land does not belong to THE EARTH. cont on part 2

part 2.
Fast forward to the 1900's thru 2005 and beyond?
These people that came from across the ocean and who are now many and are born of this land called North America, have taken for granted many things to this point. The people from south that lived where the sun is the hottest. The sun has painted them the color of night so that they can live in his place of great heat, They lived in harmony with THE EARTH. These souls were taken from their land and treated worse that the beings that were killed for food. They were used to do the wrong doings.
The people that lived in this land north america, long before man from across the ocean came. These people still lived in harmony with THE EARTH. Their simple needs and strong beliefs were all they needed and they lived in harmony with THE EARTH. This frightened man, how can these simple people from the south and now the north know what is right and wrong. I have found great riches in this EARTH and I will make it mine. They don't belong to them or to THE EARTH.
The people with the simple needs and strong beliefs must be removed from MY EARTH. For only I know what is right and what I can take said the Man from across the ocean who is now 3 to 4 generations born and grown in this THE EARTH.

pt 3, it's the 1950's and on, we have put these people from the south in their place, the people from the north we have killed most of them the ones we can't get, we will put them in dry barren land and make them depend on us. We in turn will give them shelter, food, and clothing at our convenience and preference. They can be that relative that no one wants to see or talk about, but they'll be there whenever we need to make ourselves feel better. Because this is OUR EARTH? and it no longer belongs to anyone but us? We have discovered a new rich, a black liquid that we can use for fuel. If we can control this we can control THE EARTH and it's people. It's now a new century the year 2005. We have taken the gold and silver made it our own. We have bought countries and it's people with it. We have taken the trees from THE EARTH and not planted ENOUGH for the earth to replenish itself in the spring like it used to. We have used bombs in the deserts and the oceans. We have told ourselves that it's alright because there isn't any living things near this places. Their will never be in our lifetimes anything living their either. We have polluted these waters and these lands so that nothing grows or thrives there. We have drilled holes in the land and oceans looking for this black liquid fuel and have placed no regard or respect for our own future or the future of THE EARTH, which we think is OUR EARTH. to be cont.

You know, I didn't even realize that picture I posted the link to was a 7string until after the fact. I've never played a 7, but maybe it is time for an upgrade. ;-)
I noticed the headstock on the JS6 doesn't match the grain on the body. I think the black headstock looks better if it's not going to match.

Joe: How are you on this beautiful day? I am good. I am listening to Moroccan Sunset right now thinking about your concert that I saw you at and thnking about snowboarding. It snowed up on the mountain last night which is awsome cause it sticked so that means in about 50 days or less I get to go snowboarding. I cant wait. I am going to do the races this year for you my man. Oh yeah. Well I hope that you have a fantastic day.
Lucy: If someone offered to pay you 50,000 dollars to play at there wedding I think that you would be tempted. Am I wrong? Plus I would find a time when he was not on tour or anything.
BLUE! BLUE! BLUE! BLUE! BLUE!

part 4, THE EARTH is fighting back, it's not discriminating. Whatever or whoever is in it's path is going to pay with the very life that THE EARTH has for so long provided. All our drilling, bombs, and wasteful way of doing things is being taken back by THE EARTH. The governments of the earth think that they control everything. They are living in a dream state. We The People have sat back and watched and sometimes participated in the raping, destruction, and disrespect of THE EARTH. In the year 2005 we have people that no longer need to use this precious fuel that the governments continue to fight for. Why can't we all use this means as well? Is it because the oil companies and all those involved with them have forgotten how to work, and would rather destroy this planet THE EARTH<> OUR EARTH. Than say I have made enough money to last me 2 lifetimes. THE EARTH has some allies but aren't enough against those that have the money and think they can control everything in it still.
Hurricane's have come from the south and now they are coming from the west. THE EARTH<>OUR EARTH is fighting back. The longer our leaders sit back and not listed the more she will be fight.
As for me any my family, my relatives of old, were those that came from the south where the sun is hottest. They also came from north america, they were those with simple needs and strong beliefs. I have opened my eyes and my heart to what THE EARTH<>OUR EARTH is saying and I have heard it's cry many times.

pt. 5 the ending or a new begining.
In the future I'm forced to move me and mine nearer to the Great Divide, the digging, raping and destruction doesn't appear to be ending soon. That which is called the west and pacific northwest is in for a reshaping. Yes the big earthquake is coming. California is not the only place that is going to fall in the ocean. But further north and inland. The digging,raping and destruction of THE EARTH<>OUR EARTH doesn't appear to be ending soon. why can't we all fight back for the earth<>our earth. The governments do not have to continue the digging, bombing and destruction. They can stick this fuel they crave so much in their behinds, they have enoug money. We as humanity must make them hear the cries and pain that the earth<>our earth is in. If not for our future then it must be for the future of our children and our children. We're running out of time and resources. Now the THE EARTH><OUR EARTH is the one that we are killing.
