This Week's 'Elephant In The Room' Post

Tortured for tourists: Chained to the same spot for 20 years. Beaten into submission at secret jungle training camps. The terrible plight of Indian elephants by LIZ JONES Asian elephants are being chained to tree stumps and beaten with metal sticks at temples in Kerala , southern India Before arriving at the temples they are forced to spend months at secret 'training' camps where they are tortured In Mail on Sunday special report, Liz Jones visited one such camp to investigate how the animals are treated Here, she makes a desperate plea for their release and lays bare the unimaginable cruelty they face every day At first, I don’t believe they are living, breathing animals. They seem like statues, or stuffed exhibits in a museum – 57 of them, studded around a patch of scrubby forest.

Phish Review from the Merriweather Post Pavilion show on 8/15

That was a great show played by the band last night, however, I must address the fact that the Magna Ball was made to be sold out this week.

I have seen two sets on sale at eBay for well over $550 (and counting with many bids on them) each. I have seen normal Phish heads now jacking the prices up on Craig's List to no less than say $500 a pop. I have seen postings of people that displayed listings from Stub Hub that are no less than $871 for the three day pass. If there is a run of shows not to make sold out, it is this one. I am watching Phish Phans scrambling for sets on Facebook while then getting abused
