When people talk about "bummers" and "bad trips," they're often talking about the manner in which their experience has been soured by variables of set and setting.

Never fear, though: With a little planning (and awareness of the stars' shiny signals), you'll feel confident and prepared enough to tackle (if not avoid altogether) any summer bummers.

August turned into the mother of all summer bummers for the Vision Fund (let&aposs stop putting numbers on it, as this is the first and last fund from SoftBank).

I have no doubt that he would prefer not to die in spectacular fashion while starring in a Qwake venture, but I think it's not productive in his mind to focus on such bummers.

K.Flay "Bad Vibes" You know the kind of person K.Flay is singing about here, because there are probably some in your life: the bummers, the negative nellies, and the people who only see the dark cloud despite the silver lining.

But so far, this is the first film studio to experiment with Live, and it is certainly the first entity that has thrown itself three streaming parties, all of movies that are at least 10 years old and universally bummers.

" The other near-perfect essay is "The Great Barrier Reef," delicious partly because it is such a Baedeker of bummers: a grim hotel, a shabby vessel, bovine fellow travelers, appalling food, seedy crew members, bad weather, "barfing Australian senior citizens.

The performances are lively, varied, and engaged, and there's a perverse pleasure in hearing Lou Reed keep the poetry prosaic and crack wise about his bummers before tiny crowds in a San Francisco more post-utopian than it was ready to admit.

Actually, there's plenty of time—the movie runs just over two and a half hours, very little of it wasted—but Villeneuve, the director of such exquisite bummers as Sicario and Incendies, has always used the characters' worlds to illuminate what's in their minds.

One of the secondary bummers of the playoffs having been so lame to this point is that, while I believe that both these teams are significantly better than they were last year, I don't really have a sense of how much or how that will play out in the series.

The pursuit of the women's prestige drama has yielded bummers of its own — like AMC's Dietland, also from Marti Noxon, a dark satire about a woman saving up for weight loss surgery by working at a glossy women's magazine, while in the backdrop, a feminist terrorist organization kidnaps and kills bad men, creating an atmosphere of fear as well as tentative liberation.

I need to start this with an admission of guilt: More than a year ago, I convinced Diarrhea Planet—whose six members and roughly six hundred stage guitars shred so hard they produce the musical equivalent of the woodchipper scene from Fargo except instead of a witness being killed in cold blood, they murder bummers—to take a detour from one of the busiest tour schedules in music to stop by the VICE offices on a Sunday to talk to me (who'd gotten a little too loose at their show the night before) about whatever it was that trickled out of my ravaged brain.

The designation "bummers" was used, both by soldiers and civilians, to describe Sherman's soldiers, official and unofficial, who "requisitioned" food from Southern homes along the route of the Army's march. Often highly destructive in nature, bummers became notorious among Southerners for looting and vandalism, and they did much to shatter the illusion that the Confederate Army was successfully defending its territory on all fronts. The bummers' activities in Georgia and the Carolinas helped ensure that the South would be unable to sustain its war effort; additionally, bummers' destruction of industrial property rendered the garrisoning of southern cities largely unnecessary by destroying most, if not all, of those facilities in their path that replenished the Confederate war effort (such as cotton gins, farms, foundries, lumber mills, etc.). One southern family's encounter with bummers was recorded by North Carolina resident and Civil War diarist Jane Evans Elliot: Sherman admitted himself after the war that "many acts of pillage, robbery, and violence were committed" by the bummers.

Rehearsals for Retirement was the poorest-selling of all of Ochs's albums released during his lifetime, having been deleted from the A&M; Records catalog before sales of 20,000 units had occurred. Reviewing for The Village Voice in 1969, Robert Christgau said the musical arrangements are "excellent and work for [Ochs'] voice". While observing "some predictable bummers", Christgau highlighted two flashes of greatness with "The Scorpion Departs But Never Returns" and "Another Age".

The troops assembled in front of the courthouse, then boarded trains at the depots: Berzelia, Sawdust, Dearing, and Thomson. No fighting occurred in the County during the war; nor was it directly in General Sherman's path. According to some family stories, some Union cavalry scouts or bummers entered the county. Near the war's end, the remnants of the Confederate treasury were taken through Columbia County from Augusta to where the Chennault Raid occurred in neighboring Lincoln County.

Foragers, known as "bummers", would provide food seized from local farms for the Army while they destroyed the railroads and the manufacturing and agricultural infrastructure of Georgia. In planning for the march, Sherman used livestock and crop production data from the 1860 census to lead his troops through areas where he believed they would be able to forage most effectively.Trudeau, p. 52. The twisted and broken railroad rails that the troops heated over fires and wrapped around tree trunks and left behind became known as "Sherman's neckties".

With the men of the town gone, both schools in Holly Springs closed, and Holly Springs became a virtual ghost town. When the Union Army receded northward, Holly Springs lay in its path. Bands of marauding robbers known as "bummers" raided the area farms and homesteads, taking food, supplies, silver, clothes and anything of value. Also during the war, for a two-week period, a segment of the Union Army encamped near Holly Springs and set up headquarters in the Leslie-Alford-Mims House.

2 c.1. The editor of the Salida Mountain Mail congratulated Denver on its victory, and noted that Denver was a beautiful city that deserved the capital. The editor confessed that the campaign for Salida was just a publicity stunt to bring the town to public attention, and that it had succeeded. He wrote that although Denver had spent "thousands of dollars, perhaps hundreds of thousands" bribing newspaper editors and hiring "bummers" to vote for Denver, the money had performed a public service by supporting newspapers and indigent citizens across the state.

The Liberty Guards Mess, a group of hardcore reenactors, in a Sherman's bummers portrayal. At the other extreme from farbs are "hard-core authentics" or "progressives," as they prefer to be called,Hadden p 138 sometimes derisively called "stitch counters".Hadden p 224 Hard-cores generally seek an "immersive" reenacting experience, trying to live, as much as possible, as someone of their chosen time period might have. This includes eating seasonally and regionally appropriate food, sewing inside seams and undergarments in a period-appropriate manner, and staying in character throughout an event.

The album spent over a year on the album charts. The album received mixed reviews at the time of its release, with Arthur Schmidt of Rolling Stone writing, "There are three brilliant songs, one good one, three qualified bummers, and three flaming shits." While praising "Suzanne" for its "moments of fairly digestible surrealism," the New York Times opined in a January 1968 review that on the alienation scale, Cohen rated "somewhere between Schopenhauer and Bob Dylan, two other prominent poets of pessimism." Critics have been far kinder to the album since its release, with many considering it a highlight in the Cohen canon.

You didn't dwell on the blood and the brains spewing all over the place".Barnes and Hearn 1997, p 169 Pauline Kael of The New Yorker said "The James Bond series has had its bummers, but nothing before in the class of A View to a Kill. You go to a Bond picture expecting some style or, at least, some flash, some lift; you don't expect the dumb police-car crashes you get here. You do see some ingenious daredevil feats, but they're crowded together and, the way they're set up, they don't give you the irresponsible, giddy tingle you're hoping for.

On 23 January 1860, the Jefferson Territory's legislature authorized the creation of two armed companies: the Jefferson Rangers and the Denver Guards, in part to combat the “Bummers”—a band of turkey thieves—in what was known as the “Denver City Turkey War.” Disbanded shortly thereafter, the Colorado Territorial militia was created under the name "Colorado Volunteers." Coloradan soldiers participated in the American Civil War on the Union side. The 1st and 2nd Colorado Infantry Regiments, serving alongside the 2nd Regiment New Mexico Volunteer Infantry and Federal cavalry, won in actions against Texan units at the Battle of Glorieta Pass in February 1862 under the leadership of former Methodist minister Colonel John Chivington.

The Lazy Man's Life, autobiography of Thaddeus Golas The book was originally intended as a "trip- guide" for LSD enthusiasts; it could be used to guide them psychologically and steer them away from "bummers". Thaddeus Golas later said he was stunned to see that "a general audience got off on it." While waiting for delivery of the first edition, Thaddeus Golas created a list of two hundred bookstores, including stores he had visited as a book salesman for Harper and Row in the early 1960s; he wrote every store manager, informing them that the book would be available from the distributor Bookpeople. He also visited bookstores in San Francisco, leaving them with consignment copies.

The song came about when Columbia Records president Clive Davis, upon listening to an early version of Greetings from Asbury Park N.J., felt the album lacked a potential single. Springsteen wrote this and "Spirit in the Night" in response. According to Springsteen, he wrote the song by going through a rhyming dictionary in search of appropriate words. The first line of the song, "Madman drummers, bummers, and Indians in the summers with a teenage diplomat" is autobiographical—"Madman drummers" is a reference to drummer Vini Lopez, known as "Mad Man" (later changed to "Mad Dog"); "Indians in the summer" refers to the name of Springsteen's old Little League team; "teenage diplomat" refers to himself.

The two dogs were sometimes seen in the company of the "Emperor of the United States", the eccentric Joshua A. Norton, and a popular legend made him their owner. However, no contemporary records make any mention of Norton being the owner and only one newspaper report made any connection between him and the dogs. The rumor may have arisen because the cartoonist Edward Jump frequently featured the three together, most notably in The Three Bummers which showed Norton eating from a heavily laden buffet table while the dogs wait patiently for scraps. Norton was apparently outraged when he saw the picture displayed in a shop-front window: the imperial dignity was affronted by the depiction of His Majesty in the company of lowly dogs.

In this performance Lennon altered the lyric slightly to refer to the British as "bummers" rather than "bastards" in order to accommodate broadcast requirements, but he did sing the word "goddamn" which was edited out by broadcast censors. Lennon made another change to the lyrics for this performance, singing that the British blame "the kids, the churches and the IRA" for the problems in Northern Ireland whereas in the official release they only blame "the kids and the IRA." Before the performance Lennon announced that proceeds from the song would be donated to civil rights defense in Northern Ireland. Lennon later performed "The Luck of the Irish" at a protest of the Bloody Sunday riots on 5 February 1972 at the British Overseas Airways Corporation offices in New York.

In 1913 the family settled at Bummers Creek where they established a market garden at the Afghan settlement where they grew melons, vegetables and dates as well as providing water and wood to the gold miners. The family continued to move around the country, travelling across the country by camel on a regular basis, including one trip from Perth to Broken Hill, a distance of almost 3000 kms, to visit a sick friend or relative. From 1919 to 1934 Mahomet worked for Thomas Elder carrying supplies for his numerous properties until he leased Mulgaria Station, a 363 square mile property, in 1935 where, with motor vehicles taking over, he let his camels free to roam. Eventually, in 1939, he bought the station, with Elder's help, and he began training racehorses.

Evaluating the presentation as "just so much biblical nonsense because such liberties are taken that any serious student of the life and surrounding events will take exception, the write-up decides that "Douglas wrote the novel but made the mistake of entrusting it to the wrong people." After pointing out the film's "numerous technical mistakes: microphone boom shadows, klieg lights, Martha Hyer's vaccination mark", the Guide concludes that "to make a love story the focal point of such a potentially dynamic saga of history's most memorable era was a bad decision. One of the rare bummers by Disney in those years."The Motion Picture Guide (Chicago, 1987), volume I, page 193 Leslie Halliwell in his Film and Video Guide (5th edition, 1985) dismissed it as a "well-meaning but leaden adaptation of a bestselling novel which followed on from The Robe.
