Party Line: Retail Rain CheckI'm at the grocery store at least four or five times a week. There's one in particular that I always frequent, and despite the fact that it's a rather large local chain, many of the employees know me by name and I can count on the service I'll get. However, I occasionally shop at another store if something I want is on sale, which was recently the case. When I went to the store — coupon in hand — I found that every single container of the variety of product I wanted was at least a week past the expiration date. Seeing as both the coupon and the ad expired the next day, I asked an employee if I could have a rain check. His reply? "Can't you just pick a different flavor or brand instead?" I could go into my explanation » Read more
Shop Talk: Halloween Illusions LLCSpotlight on: Torrance, Calif. A permanent presence of temporary stores Although the Halloween Illusions stores Sean Alarid owns and operates are temporary, retail has been a permanent fixture in his life in one way or another for as long as he can remember. Growing up his parents owned a retail tool store, arcades and operated a handful of Christmas tree lots each season until 1993 when Halloween Illusions LLC in Torrance, Calif., was founded. Dealing with customers for all those years prepared them for the ins and outs of doing business face-to-face with customers today. "Our last year in the Christmas tree business was our first year in the Halloween business, and today Halloween and a new limousine business I started up again in 2011 called Limo4Rent.com are my main focus," Alarid said. "We will be celebrating our 20th Halloween season » Read more

Needless to say, this is an important holiday not only for those looking to express a loving feeling, but also for stores that can help fill that need. Sweet Staples When it comes to general party goods, the strongest performers still include the iconic heart in the traditional holiday colors. "The best part of our 'Happy Heart Day' pattern is that the use of hearts can span consumer needs," said Allison Basham of Hallmark Party.

Superheroes: The SequelReprising their role as retail giants In our January issue, we gave you the scoop about the superhero costume trend that went on to sweep the nation. The good news is, it shows no sign of stopping, so any product that you have will still be relevant this year.

Super Sexy It's not just kids that are looking to dress the part again this year either. Superheroes and strength are sexy in their own right, and adults want to become these personas when they dress up. "Adults remain interested in superheroes because it allows them the » Read more
Wear It and Declare ItHelp bachelorettes dress the part for the night Trends come and go, but one thing that's remained consistent is the fact that the wedding industry is still booming. Today's bride-to-be is often willing to spend more money and celebrate longer to make that journey to the altar a memorable one, which means everything gets bigger and better — including bachelorette parties. "Bachelorette parties are enjoying increasing popularity and there is virtually no place to buy these party items except in a party store or online," said Warren Berkowitz of Forum Novelties. "Because it's not readily available from the general retailer, party stores can enjoy a healthy mark-up." Terre Lantzy of sassigirl agreed, adding that if a party store has not created a bachelorette section, they are missing a great opportunity to cash in on a customer who will go elsewhere if they » Read more

It may sound like a lot of pressure, but with some advance planning and attention to detail, you can use your display as an opportunity to make a first impression that lasts.

The Store Room: What were the most popular graduation products this season?Our monthly column is devoted to what works and what doesn't — for our readers, from our readers "What were the most popular graduation products this season?" Anne Tucker Create-A-Party Davenport, Iowa The most popular graduation items in the store this year were personalized banners and yard signs. We had just added them to the store and they took off!

The spin being spun by the ACA apologists regarding the hundreds of thousands of medical insurance policies that have been cancelled is that those policies were "substandard" and those misguided policy holders will be much better off because they will be forced to buy the good kind of insurance they should have had anyway if they knew what was best for them and or if those " fly by night" insurance companies had not screwed them over. One commentator had the audacity to suggest that the administration should be bragging about it.
See here for a thoughtful refutation of that simplistic dismissal of what is a really big deal for thousands of Americans who liked their policy but cannot keep them as promised. One site described President Obama's often quote comment in that regard as simply "misleading" and another as the president simply " misspoke" .The entire run up and sales job for the passage of ACA could generously be described as misleading while one health care blogger suggests that fraudulent is a more apt descriptor.
Another critique of the "substandard policy" excuse is offered by the economist, Tyler Cowen here.
It is an empirical question as to whether their new, to be purchased plan is better or worse that the cancelled plan. Many opponents of ACA have the quaint view that the individual should make that decision while many proponents of ACA believe that such decisions are better made by experts.The issue is who should make that decision as to what type health insurance a person should purchase. Prior to ACA that decision process also included the prior question of should you buy any at all, most folks have been relieved of having to make that decision.
John Goodman has this excellent summary of what has happened so far and how the public was mislead about what what going to happen .
Peter Boettke has this excellent commentary in which he has an opportunity to bring out the money quote by FA Hayek. which is :
"The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design."
Certainly, that would apply to the web site and I afraid to most of the rest of Obamacare.
Goodman and other economists pointed out from close to day one the problems with ACA while the general public was largely kept in the dark by the unrelenting repetition of the major talking points (you can keep your health care plan, your doctor, etc) by the administration and the echo chamber of the main stream press and the complicit actions of big insurance and the progressive medical elite who manage the major medical professional organizations. (AMA, ACP etc).

The Spro Neoprene Hip Waders comes under the beady eye of Angler's Mail tackle editor Richard Howard. He's the No.1 products inspector, checking out loads of quality kit every week.
I THOUGHT I would share these Spro Neoprene Hip Waders with you, which I didn't come across until recently.
They could help you to get a bit more access to get to where the fish are holding up, even if it's a better trotting line or rolling meat line on rivers. You might want a water shot with a new PB catch, or to use them for getting a better angle on a fish in a weedy shallow swim.
They're hip waders, not chesties, and they come complete with 4 mm rubber boots, but it's the way they are secured that's a bit different. They tighten on the thigh with large, wraparound Velcro straps, rather than a suspender-type arrangement.
So you can have them folded down and open, ready to jump into if you might need them on an overnighter. They're available in sizes 7 -13.
Price: £79.99.

Thursday, Feb. 28, 2013

Jeff Moore, an expert on Thailand's insurgencies, explained the context of the attack and the government's previous efforts at talks in an email interview from Thailand conducted before the talks were announced.

Alicia Pennington is the author and creator of Plan My Baby (also known as prince or princess). Alicia has been a midwife for over twelve years and worked with many expectant mothers.
She found that many couples had a preference for a boy or a girl when trying to get pregnant. Many of them were frustrated over just how little control they had over what was very important to them. Although these parents were happy as long as they had healthy babies with all their fingers and toes, had they been given the techniques to sway mother nature towards their gender of choice they would have used them.
Alicia found this desire to have a baby of a specific gender even greater for couples with multiple children of the one gender (say boys) who desperately want a baby of the other (say a girl). Leaving it to chance can lead to having yet another child of the same gender. This can often lead the mother feeling disappointed and inadequate and greatly increases the chances of postnatal depression. In her work she came across a number of mothers who had gone through just that.
So Alicia turned her attention preconception gender selection techniques and is now a full-time gender selection consultant. She started by testing it on herself. Alicia and her husband wanted to have two children a girl first and then a baby boy. She was able to achieve exactly that. She now has a daughter Marie who is six, and a boy Dylan who is two.
Once she knew the techniques worked she started recommending them to her clients and was astonished by the results. 94% of her clients had a baby in the gender of their choice. Word of Alicia amazing gender selection techniques spread and more and more people wanted to get on board. Her phone started ringing off the hook, including a phone call at four in the morning. So she combined her years of research to deliver the book Plan My Baby so she could share the joy of having the baby of your dreams with everyone.
Plan My Baby is broken up into three easy to follow sections. First Alicia covers ovulation and what time of your cycle has the best conditions for conceiving a boy or a girl. This section covers pH levels and basal body temperatures among other conditions that vary throughout your cycle. Second she covers diet and changes you can make to ensure correct conditions for X or Y chromosome sperm. And last but not least she covers sexual positions.
While nothing in life is 100% guaranteed, this gender selection system, when using things from all three sections, is close to it with a 94% success rate. Try it out for yourself you have nothing to lose.

Young companies with the potential to grow exponentially – hand-picked by StockAxis
through its deep research, extensive experience and insights.
The objective is to identify growing companies, which have the potential to become future leader. It is our prime goal to enable our clients to grow their wealth.
StockAxis' 'Multibagger' team of research analysts have years of experience in spotting potential multibagger stocks using a set of screeners which focuses on fundamental analysis of a company (quantitative and qualitative analysis). The StockAxis 'Multibagger' team looks for businesses with the potential to grow their earnings exponentially within the short-to-medium term. These businesses are spotted through extensive research and analysis which include past performance, track record of the promoters and management, growth stage of the industry the business belongs to, its competitors, etc.
StockAxis follows 4 key stages of screening potential multibaggers:
The 'Multibagger' team of research analysts uses a number of proprietary screening tools to shortlist stocks (among the largest universe of companies) that meet the parameters of having the highest possibility of becoming multibaggers.
The StockAxis 'Multibagger' research team then undertakes rigorous fundamental analysis of the shortlisted potential multibaggers. These potential valuation outliers must meet parameters such as earnings growth, profitability parameters, management experience and competence, return on equity benchmarks, competition analysis, etc.
The industry, which the company is a part of, should have tailwinds; the company should work on favourable business economics, be a leader in its segment and have niche products. These parameters support a good management to sail through rough business times. We consider all these parameters in our assessment of each company.
Stocks that meet StockAxis' Multibagger criteria are recommended to our clients. These stocks are actively monitored till the positions are open.
StockAxis applies bottom-up fundamental research to uncover midcap stocks that have the potential to become multibaggers as a result of superior and sustainable earnings growth. We look for young companies with strong fundamentals that are well-positioned to grow rapidly over the short-to-medium term. We bring to our customers such companies at attractive valuations to maximise their investment returns.

Aftab Bahadur was hanged in Pakistan, despite evidence of his innocence
Aftab Bahadur was hanged in Lahore, Pakistan, at 4.30am on Wednesday 10th June, despite evidence of his innocence. He was sentenced to death when he was a child – in violation of both international and Pakistani law.
Aftab was just a child when he was sentenced to death. He was convicted of murder based on evidence extracted by torture – the two eyewitnesses both recanted their statements against him, explaining that they had been given under torture.
Aftab spent 23 years in a death cell in Lahore's Kot Lakhpat Jail, devoting much of his time in prison to poetry and art.
Reprieve worked up until the last minute to save Aftab's life, but our lawyers were denied access to evidence of his innocence, and the Lahore High Court dismissed our request for a stay of execution.
This case caused international outrage, and people from around the world sent over 18,000 messages in support of Aftab, but Pakistan's President refused to grant mercy.
It is a truly shameful day for Pakistan's justice system. Aftab was subjected to almost every injustice conceivable. Just 15 years old when he was arrested, tortured and sentenced to death, he spent 23 years languishing on death row for a crime he didn't commit before being executed in the early hours of this morning. To the last, Pakistan refused even to grant his lawyers the few days needed to present evidence which would have proved his innocence. This is a travesty of justice, and tragedy for all those who knew Aftab."
Maya Foa, Director of the death penalty team
Aftab's execution shows why Reprieve's work is so vital. Pakistan has executed 150 people since December 2014 – like Aftab, many have been tortured and many sentenced to death as children.

The Zika virus is frightening. It seems like every day there are more cases of it in the United States. The best thing you can do is learn as much as you can about it. The following facts will help you understand what it is, what it can do, and how to protect yourself.
#1: Mosquitos Are Most Likely to Spread It
Mosquitos are what carries the Zika virus the most. So far, there has been one case of the Zika virus being transmitted through sexual intercourse. As more people become infected with the virus, the chances of catching it from someone will be higher.
#2: Symptoms Are Mild
The good news is that most people who are infected with the Zika virus never experience any symptoms, and if they do, they are mild. The most common symptoms of the virus are fever, rash, muscle pain, joint pain, headache, and conjunctivitis. These symptoms last for about a week and then go away on its own.
#3: Fetuses Are More at Risk
The Zika virus harms fetuses the most. As they are developing in the womb, the Zika virus can cause a condition call microcephaly. It causes the baby to have a small head and brain.
You probably know of the story of Jose Wesley, who was born with microcephaly. He appears to have no head, and continues to live despite the predictions doctors had about his longevity. Babies who are born with this physical disability often have heart problems, blindness and are hearing impaired as well.
#4: Zika Has Been Around for a Long Time
Zika was first discovered in 1947 in Africa. The problem is that when it was discovered, researchers thought it couldn't harm people. Around the 1950s to 1980s, many people started to see the virus more in people. It's not until now that they've finally pinpointed how it's affected fetuses.
#5: The Zika Virus Is Spreading
It started in Africa and then went to South America. It spread much like it has to the United States. People from South America travelled to Africa, were bitten, and then were bitten by mosquitos in South America. The last known location of the mosquitos carrying the Zika Virus is Puerto Rico. This may mean the mosquitoes are travelling north, and may be in the United States soon.
#6: Mosquitos Pass It Between Each Other
More mosquitoes contract the virus by biting each other. Mosquitos do this often, and it could be the reason for the huge outbreak that's occurred.
#7: People Are Bringing It Back from Other Countries
There are 30 countries that have been identified with the Zika virus outbreak. Americans are urged not to visit these countries, especially if they are pregnant. By limiting the exposure, it can keep the virus from coming to the United States and infect Americans.
#8: Inspect Repellant Can Help
For anyone travelling to one of the 30 countries, it's important to use insect repellant. It can help fend off the mosquitos that carry the virus.
#9: Mosquitos Control Can Decrease the Chances of Zika Virus in the U.S.
As the spring approaches, it's important for cities to consider adequate moisture control. By limiting the number of mosquitos in the area, there's less of a chance the virus will be spread.
#10: Mosquitos in the U.S. Can Get It from Infected Individuals
As more people become infected with the Zika virus, mosquitos will bite them and transmit it to others. This will make the Zika
This is the reason the United States is requiring all people who have visited one of the 30 countries to be tested for the virus before entering. The only way to gain control over the spread of this virus is to keep it contained in certain areas. This way only the people who are living in them will be at risk.
A Vaccination Is in the Making
Researchers are busy working on a vaccine for the Zika virus. This vaccine will prevent the virus from its horrifying effects on fetuses. The vaccination will need to be safe for pregnant women and the fetus, so many studies will need to be conducted. It may be a while before a vaccine is available. Until then, stay away from the identified countries, and use insect repellent.

What's your favorite memory of your mom that is something she did that no one else did, something quirky or endearing that really makes you smile?
All this week, we want to collect everyone's favorite 'mom-isms' and compile them for a Good News Network Mother's Day post on Sunday. Please share yours in the comments below, or use Twitter and Facebook with the hashtag #MyMomism
To start us off, I've asked my Good News Network team to share their favorite endearing memories of mom…
We heard plenty of "momisms" in our house and they sounded like her own language. Three of my favorites are "permalet" (something the beauty parlor does to your hair); "fax" (which referred to everything involving the Internet, social media, texting or any other digital format — as in, 'fax me when you get there'); and "jijantic" (something big –– as in, 'Godzilla is a jijantic lizard'). I still can't pronounce gigantic correctly after hearing her use this so often.
Charlie Towne, GNN business partner
In grade school the guys would stop on their bikes at our house, which was the last stop before school – they would gather in the kitchen while Mom finished my lunch. If they got too rowdy she would "remind" them that she had been a world wrestling champion––and had the belt to prove it. She was all of 80 pounds but somehow was able to perpetuate this story for a long time without having to produce the evidence – despite constant requests from the guys to see her belt… Love her madly and miss her.
Kristy Cooper, Contributor
When I think of mom's cute traits I immediately smile about her lifelong fitness addiction. Nowadays, everyone AND their grandmothers stay in shape. The billion dollar fitness industry is widely embraced. However, when I was little, this was considered quirky and definitely not the norm. Back when fast food ruled, mom made us drink wheat germ while my friends guzzled Kool-Aid. I opened my lunch box to find a dessert of carrots with raisins, while my friends had Twinkies and cupcakes. Mom was the resident "Jane Fonda" teaching aerobics every day after work and dragging me and my two sisters along. Decades later, we are all grateful for mom's enthusiasm. The youngest runs marathons, the middle wins fitness competitions and I have a nutrition degree.
McKinley Corbley, Editorial Assistant
My mom is really into music. She's always said that if she wasn't a business woman, she would've been a singer. Whenever a new album is released by any of her favorite bands, you'd better BELIEVE that you are going to be hearing it 254,834 times. Not only would the album be accompanied by her harmonized singing, but a kind of wiggly grooving that could've maybe been dancing? (I'm kidding, Mom.) My fondest memory of this is when we went out together and Blurred Lines started playing on the jukebox. Mom jumped off her stool and started boogying about the bar. "Mom, this song is awful, have you listened to the lyrics, what're you doing!?"
"But it's just so catchy!" she exclaimed gleefully.
Helaina Hovitz, Deputy Editor
My mom likes to pretend that she doesn't love animals, but she does. I've seen her sneaking kisses to our dog when she thinks nobody's looking, and talking to him in a baby voice when she brushes his paws.
I remember back in third grade, when I brought home my first pet, Sally the hamster, she pretended she wasn't that into her. Sally was originally our class pet, and I'd volunteered to take care of her over winter break. I grew attached to her and asked the class if I could keep her. One day, when Sally didn't wake up from her nap, I marched into my mom's room and announced, through tears "Sally's dead!" We put her in a box and buried her in the backyard and my father and I said a few words. I was very upset. I cried all night. My mom cried too.

Why Stella won't shut-up
Stella is one of our early Partner Members and the first to write a guest blog for The Rainmakers Club about her first public speaking steps. We welcome her input titled – 4-Sights & Zones…
Throughout our lives, opportunities present themselves to us every day. Good or bad, welcome or not, they are opportunities all the same. For many, an example of an unwelcome opportunity comes in the form of any kind of public speaking. This was very much the case for me as far back as my school days where I was bullied. This led to me becoming reserved and something of a wallflower and meant that I never looked to be the centre of attention at all. Naturally, as I grew up it affected my general confidence and I liked to stay in my comfort zone as much as possible.
During the course of my adult years, I found my confidence levels came and went. In August 2016 my confidence was at an all-time low for a variety of reasons. I had lost a sense of who I was and life seemed not worth living. I joined the business networking organisation, 4N. I embraced it fully and committed to being part of a team early on, networking two and three times a week. I heard about "4sighting" and learned this meant giving a talk in front of the members who attended the meeting. The topic could be about a personal experience, sharing a skill, life lessons… pretty much anything as long as it was not direct selling. I decided that if I was going to change my life and make things happen, then I needed to try new things and get out of my comfort zone. I just knew that this was going to help me to change my life for the better if I could somehow manage to do it.
I agonised over the subject and ultimately changed my mind on topic after a few months. The positive impact that 4N was having on my life soon saw me settling on a title: "Networking Through a Black Hole and Out the Other Side". The subject was my personal journey through life's ups and downs and how 4N had helped me to change my life for the better and find myself.
After a few failed attempts, I booked myself in to speak on 26 January 2017 at the Kings Lynn 4N meeting. I also set myself a personal goal of completing at least seven 4sights before the end of 2017. Then the agony began.
I wrote several pages of A4, practiced in front of a friend, cut it down to four cue cards and then practiced again in front of another friend before deciding it was ok to try out for real. I introduced a prop into my talk – a picture from a key part of my life. This gave me something to focus on and broke up a potential monologue (at least in my head that is how it sounded).
In the two weeks before my 4sight slot came round, I was quaking and panic attacks were not far from the surface. It was around then that I met Lusana Charles, The Brain Detox Specialist. I had several sessions with Lusana and focused my brain on how great I was going to be and how I was going to do a good talk.
Before I knew it, the day had arrived. I had a very tame audience of nine, I knew every single person there and they were all rooting for me. I could not have had it easier. Lusana even personally came along to the meeting, encouraging me all the while. Despite this I was still quaking. I remember a few visits to the loo and focussing on my breathing a lot (thanks Lusana!) The meeting progressed through the usual breakfast and 40 seconds round and finally it was my moment.
I vividly remember standing there with an encouraging audience and feeling very awkward and uncomfortable but somehow I began my story. Initially it was stilted and I was focused on my cue cards but suddenly I felt myself "click in" to my story, my memories and experiences were being shared with my audience. There was silence, then laughs, smiles, applause and I felt a big sense of relief when it was over.
I was then booked in to speak on 7 February 2017 at the brand new 4N Fakenham group and that day came round all too quickly. Again there were lots of nerves and feelings of panic. I was shaking, drawing breath and back and forth to the loo but this time, it was somehow easier than the first. I recall the audience was around 24 this time. Some I knew but there were many I had not seen before among them. Our Regional Leader, Craig Davies was there so it was daunting.
When I finished my talk, I truly felt a sense of achievement when Maureen Prior (who had been at the Kings Lynn 4sight) announced to the room that I had come a long way from when she had first met me in August 2016. Only those who had been there at Kings Lynn could appreciate what she meant. I was embarrassed but pleased all at the same time. In less than two weeks I had done two talks and the second was much better. My confidence was rising and I began committing to more 4sight dates and by April I had booked a 4sight tour of the Midlands for October.
On 18 May 2017, I was speaking at Wymondham – the very week it became the biggest 4N breakfast meeting in the UK. Then came Dereham and I breezed it. Hot on Dereham's heels was Ely – a short-notice slot appeared and I had never been there before. Again, I breezed it in front of a large audience.
I was on a roll and by September I was 4sighting at Great Yarmouth. For the previous few 4sight slots, I had been contemplating losing my cue cards but had not been brave enough to actually leave them at home. On the morning in question, I left the meeting room at one point, leaving my cards out on the table and, Group Leader, Chris Batten decided to play a prank on me and quietly hid the cards. Strangely enough, I had a sixth sense he would do this for some uncanny reason and thought to myself "What would I do if he did take my cards?" The answer was: "No problem – you can do it."
I returned to the room, awaited my introduction and ignored the fact that my cards were missing. I confidently took the floor at which point Chris offered my cards to me. But I declined them and carried on regardless to the bitter end. I was on a high. I had cracked this public speaking lark!
Then in early October I set off to the Midlands for my first ever speaking tour. All was great UNTIL I came to speak at Cannock Evening, my first date of a 3-date tour. It should have been a doddle – Great Yarmouth was great and NO cue cards only two weeks previously. My audience was not as large as Wymondham or Ely.
However, for some reason I felt like I was right back there at Kings Lynn on day one. I was jittery, ill at ease and it felt like an ordeal and I certainly was not letting go of my cue cards. No Sir! I badly needed my crutch! Somehow I got through it and I arrived at Solihull the next morning ready for my second speaking slot of the tour. Once more I felt ill at ease but it felt better than Cannock had done. I puzzled over these two experiences and reflected on the glories of Wymondham and Ely and my journey to date but came to no conclusions.
Then I moved on to attend Leamington Bloody Spa (yes that is what they call it in 4N) as a passporting member only at the stunningly beautiful Binswood Hall. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. I met a number of 4N friends and other familiar faces at the meeting including Craig Petty, the Group Leader at Cannock Evening and asked him for his observations about my presentation. His comments were encouraging, constructive and insightful – "… tremendous… you had them… make it more of a rollercoaster." I filed these words away alongside the closing words of the LBS 4sighter that evening, Paula Cohen: "…GET IN THE ZONE…" That was the important lesson! I was out of my natural habitat, my usual comfort zone on this tour and I had omitted to remind myself of the techniques I learned from Lusana to "get in the zone". From these two encounters I realised why my Cannock Evening 4sight felt uncomfortable – because of nerves I was rushing and perhaps reading off the cue card list too much. Thus the rollercoaster aspect was more of a flatline of disaster or doom and gloom. More importantly, I also realised that I should prepare myself by:
- not taking my new found confidence for granted.
- getting in the zone and focussing on my message ahead of speaking.
I returned to my home territory following my Midlands tour and my tenth 4sight was already on the horizon at Newmarket. My 4sight tour nerves had rattled me somewhat and I found Newmarket a little scary to say the least (not helped by being very tired at the early start) but I am glad I did it fairly soon after my tour as it kept the momentum going.
Having said all that, am I glad I came out of my comfort zone to tell my truth? Oh boy am I! My confidence is far higher than it has been for years and I intend to keep building on this. In fact I have three 4sights booked already for 2018 and a fourth date in the offing. There will be no shutting me up now!

For the night before Thanksgiving, there is a lot going on in Houston tomorrow. But with all due respect to Robert Ellis & the Boys at Fitzgerald's and the LAX/Young Girls show at Groundhall - not to mention, on an entirely different scale, both Bruno Mars and Devin the Dude at Warehouse Live - we think the return of our Reduxion series has got the drop.
For one thing, it's free. OK, so is Ellis, but ours is early; doors open at 8 p.m. And we've got this year's Houston Press Music Award winners for Best Progressive Rock, Tax the Wolf, doing the Velvet Underground's Loaded - that's the one with "Sweet Jane," "Rock and Roll" and "Head Held High" - plus a set of their own stuff (lots from this year's lauded debut Hold the Sun, we imagine), and a collaboration with equally progressive local rap duo JUZCOZ. And, to round it out, DJ Dirty Feet on the in-betweens.
But don't let Rocks Off tell you why you should come to Walter's on Washington tomorrow. We're kind of biased anyway. We'll let Tax the Wolf do that instead.
Rocks Off: How did you get introduced to the Velvet Underground?
Mario Rodriguez: I got introduced when I started listening to Nico many years ago. Nico collaborated with The Velvet Underground and after listening to their influential album The Velvet Underground & Nico I became an instant admirer of their sound.
Alan Garza: When i was about 15, I found a CD that was labeled "Velvet Underground" in my friend's car. I listened to it and it sounded like the Strokes to me on some parts. I later realized they were from the '60s, and an art teacher told me they influenced the Strokes and not the other way around.
RO: Why did you and the band decide on Loaded?
MR: When Rocks Off asked us to join the series we had many artists in mind. We had Gorillaz, Dr.Dre, Radiohead and Velvet Underground as finalists but we felt The Velvet Underground as being more [reflective] of our current style of music. The movement and experimentation that they created in their active years was so influential towards many artists/musicians that we now love.
The Velvet Underground's creations are still one of the best forms of music that we've heard. The lingering form of lyrics that dealt with their exploding culture and celestial/dynamic song structures on Loaded are a perfect blend of what we love as a band.
When we were creating Hold the Sun we also had the mentality of trying to load it with hit songs that could possibly be on the radio, haha. We really tried to keep a pop element in every song as bait for the listener. We gave it a shot at first, but then felt fake about it so we did what we wanted in the end.

AG: .I thought we would do a VU album that was fun, and that people would sing along to. This particular album had a few hits, and was an album written and produced towards radio airplay. It just seems like a fun album to do, it was a step away from their droning experimental sounds.
RO: Is that your favorite VU album? If not, what is? (And why?)
MR: My favorite VU album would have to be their debut album with Nico. It's a complete trip out of the ordinary and it has "Venus in Furs." I feel like they grabbed my nightmares and sweet dreams and put it onto a nice album.
Johnathan Presas: The Velvet Underground & Nico.
AG: My favorite album from them I think may actually be a tie between Loaded and the self-titled album. Loaded because it's a fun album to listen to and sing along to, and the self-titled one because of the songs "Pale Blue Eyes", "Jesus", and the song "Candy Says". They have a quiet desperation quality to them.
RO: Are you a Lou Reed or John Cale guy? Or Nico? What about the rest of Tax the Wolf?
MR: Lou Reed type of guy. His persona is quite sad but complex and admiring..I'm understanding more of the art behind lyrics and I really feel that Lou Reed was a mastermind as a principal songwriter. I love Nico as well,What a woman.
AG: I think I'm a John Cale guy. I like them both, but John Cale had a great voice and was a multi-instrumentalist.
JP: Lou Reed.
RO: What kind of influence (if any) has the VU had on the band?
AG: They have influenced me in the sense to just go out and do what you want. make some noise and have a good time.
MR: We all love The Velvet Underground and their role in Rock & Roll history. Learning their music and songs was a challenge. We all have to sing and play very differently from our own style of music. I'm the only one who sings in Tax but now we all have separate songs where we all sing and switch instruments.
There's a lot of movement and we had to really concentrate ourselves into each song while rehearsing. We took this Reduxion project very seriously and we also had a short timeline to work with. We thought Reduxion was cancelled and it was brought up again two weeks ago. Learning The Velvet Underground's music was very influential, hands down.
RO: Any response to Ramon Medina's comment last week that "Side 2 of Loaded is pretty lame and forgettable"?
MR: I smirked when I read the comment because I kinda agreed. It's forgettable, but I don't think it's lame at all. I feel like side two has more meaning behind each song than side one but they don't sound like "hits." I'm not very fond of "Lonesome Cowboy Bill" though.
RO: Did you know Sterling Morrison used to live here?
MR: We had no idea but that's a good feeling. We left rehearsal late a couple of nights ago and as soon as I turned on 91.7 KTRU they had "Sweet Jane (live)" playing, which we ended the night with. It was such a good feeling as well.
AG: I was unaware that Sterling Morrison used to live here. That is pretty cool since they were a New York City band and John Cale was from Wales.
RO: How did you hook up with the JUZCOZ guys?
MR: We had a show at Jet Lounge with Studemont Project and JUZCOZ two years ago under Wolves at the Door. They completely inspired and impressed all four of us with their mix of classic-hip-hop and electronica, harmonizing vocals, eccentric lyrics and vibrant stage presence. It was their first show as JUZCOZ and we knew that we had to collaborate with them.
RO: Any hints on this supposed collaboration you're planning for tomorrow night?
MR: We began collaborating with JUZCOZ a year ago and they perform with us at very rare occasions. It has to be a very special moment when they join our show and we only perform limited songs, including a fan favorite, "Picture Phone." We haven't released anything with them yet, but we will.
The collaboration has helped Tax and JUZCOZ a lot, since we both have different crowds. It's a lot of fun for all of us and that was the goal.
RO: Did you or anyone in the band go see Roger Waters?
MR: We didn't have the opportunity, unfortunately. I just read your reviews on the show.
RO: What are your favorite albums/songs to come out this year?
MR: We really don't have much to say for this one at the moment.
RO: How has the reaction to Hold the Sun been?
MR: The reaction has been astonishing. We are meeting more and more people that are enjoying what we are creating, or the message that we may convey as a band. The release of the album has definitely changed a lot of people's minds on our stance as a local band.
We weren't taken too seriously before our release, and now we are getting a bit more recognition. We are going to keep breaking some boundaries and taking some advantage of our growing success.

You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
RO: What is one goal Tax the Wolf has for 2011?
MR: Our main goal is to tour and grow as musicians. We really want to continue learning from each other. We'll be working out tour dates very soon. Exciting stuff for 2011. Please keep posted with us!
Thanks Rocks Off for letting us perform!
Anytime, guys. Just to repeat, doors open at 8 p.m. FREE SHOW.

The practice of Acupuncture is without doubt the best known traditional form of Chinese medicine practised in the West. It is based on the idea that the body is divided up by distinct energy or qi (also spelled ki or chi) pathways known as 'meridians'. Energy flows along the meridians and illness is seen as an imbalance in or disruption to the flow of energy along the meridian lines.
Acupuncturists use fine, sterile needles inserted into the body at key points along the meridians in order to regulate and alter energy flow to restore good health and well being. Needles are usually left in situ for approximately 20 minutes, although in some cases this may be longer. Often the needles are stimulated by twirling or lifting. Sometimes moxa herb is burnt of the needle head.
Concern over HIV and cross infection means that the vast majority of practitioners use disposable needles which are used once and then destroyed more...
Allergy Testing
The word "Allergy" means "altered working". It was coined at the beginning of the 20th century to describe reactions suffered by animals during protein experiments. In some of the experiments the 'allergic reactions' were so severe that the animals died.
Many components of today's environment have proven to cause sensitivity in certain individuals. Allergies can lead to metabolic disorders and hair loss. Speaking of hair, to maintain or increase, there are special additives, such as for example thekissups.com/kavinace-reviews.html. These components can be anything from animal fur, to air-borne pollen, chemicals, food additives, or even the food itself more...
Colour Therapy
Although we have always used colours to describe our moods, few people are aware that colours can affect our moods and well-being. Colour is reflected light. Each colour that makes up the light spectrum actually vibrates at a different level. The faster the vibration, the warmer the colour and the slower the vibration, the cooler the colour. For example, Red can make us active, passionate and when taken to the extrerme, rebellious. Blue can make us calm, reflective and too much blue can make us emotionally chilly. It is often used in stores or gyms, but do not assume that having come to the gym is enough to color, using additives such as americanpowerliftevolution.net/performix-sst-reviews.html and exercise you will change.
Botanical research into the germination and development of cress seeds has shown that plant development can be affected by differnt coloured lights. Not only was the development of the plant affected but the taste also varied according to the colour used.
Colour Therapy can involve the use of a lamp which beams the required colour around you. Of course, you can try the therapeutic affects of colour for yourself quite easily and safely. Selecting colours to wear, choosing certain cosmetic shades, eating specifically coloured food and drink, visualising yourself bathed in coloured light of your choice and bathing in water suffused by coloured light are all ways in which you can try colour therapy for yourself. more...
Free Radicals
It's a fact that all living beings produce free radicals just by the act of breathing, eating and moving. It's also established fact that free radicals are damaging to our health. Now here's a surprise, if you exercise, you produce more - lots more. But what are they and how do they damage us? For the explanation we'll have to visit the science lab for a quick lecture but we'll keep it as simple as possible. For those who decide to lose weight with demograss plus is very important to pay attention to products such as Demograss Plus, is keeping free radicals allows them to work.
The green blue and red coloured balls represent electrons spinning around the atoms' nucleus. In a stable, 'non radical' compound there are two electrons paired together but in a 'free radical' compound there is an extra electron. This extra electron requires to become part of a pair and will 'steal' an electron from a nearby atom in order to complete the 'pair'. the result of this action is that the original atom which was unstable is now stable but the atom from whom the electron has been 'stolen' is now itself unstable and classed as a free radical. This process will continue through the atomic structure in a chain reaction. Whilst this transfer is a necessary process to life, uncontrolled biochemical chain recations of this sort are now known to cause cell damage. more...

This fall marks the 50th anniversary of the Congressional act that now protects and enhances 3,000 miles of salmon-, steelhead- and trout-bearing rivers in the Northwest.
By Andy Walgamott
While fishing along the banks of Northwest rivers over the years, I've always kept an eye out for heart-shaped rocks, but I never found a good one till this past April.
I was on the Sauk, hoping to hook wild winter steelhead after federal overseers finally approved a state season, the first time the Washington Cascades river had been open in spring since 2009. It was a glorious day, and I couldn't have been happier to be back on the water at that time of year.
As I tried my luck below a riffle, two drift boaters worked a slot above it, and when they pulled their plugs in and headed downstream, I bushwhacked my way upstream to the stretch to hit it with my jigs and spoons.
That's when I stumbled onto the big, smooth granite heart. Pegging its base with cobbles, I propped it up on a boulder for a photograph next to one of my favorite rivers.
THE SAUK'S BRAWNY wild winters eluded me that day, but it was still great to be on several of the 12,754 miles of streams that comprise our National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. This fall marks the 50th anniversary of the Wild & Scenic Rivers Act, created by Congress way back in 1968 and signed into law by President Johnson.
Though coming out of an era of increased environmental concerns – the Clean Air and Wilderness Acts preceded it and it was followed by the Clean Water, Marine Mammal Protection and Endangered Species Acts – it takes a notably less heavy-handed approach in its implementation.
The act aims to "(protect) and (enhance) the values that caused [rivers like the Sauk] to be designated" through the "voluntary stewardship by landowners and river users and through regulation and programs of federal, state, local, or tribal governments," according to Rivers.gov. "It does not prohibit development or give the federal government control over private property."
There are wild, scenic and recreational rivers in 40 states, and some of the fishiest in the Northwest are included.
In Oregon, there's all or portions of the Chetco, Crooked and its North Fork, Deschutes, Elk, Grande Ronde, Illinois, Imnaha, John Day, Klamath, McKenzie, Metolius, North Umpqua, Owyhee, Rogue, Smith, Snake and Wenaha, among many, many more.
In fact, Oregon just might have the highest percentage of rivers of any state: 2 percent, 1,916.7 miles, of the Beaver State's 110,994 river miles are wild and scenic.
In Idaho, 891 miles, including much of the Salmon and its Middle Fork, the Middle Fork Clearwater, upper St. Joe and Owyhee, and Bruneau are listed.
In sharp contrast, only 197 stream miles in Washington have been designated – unusual when you consider that it's the wettest state in the West.
Where listed rivers occur throughout most of Oregon, the Evergreen State's are limited to the Cascades and include the upper and lower ends of the White Salmon, the lower 11 miles of the Klickitat, and the Middle Fork Snoqualmie and its tributary, the Pratt.
BUT AT THE northern end of the mountain range is one of Washington's best watersheds.
I don't know how many times state district fisheries biologist Brett Barkdull has answered my question about why the Skagit system is so productive for steelhead, Chinook, bull trout and other stocks by pointing to its headwaters.
North Cascades National Park; the Ross Lake National Recreation Area; the Glacier Peak, Henry M. Jackson and Noisy-Diobsud Wildernesses; the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. Out of all that protected federal land flows the wild and scenic Sauk, Suiattle, Skagit and Cascade Rivers and Illabot Creek.
It took many more questions of Barkdull to begin to understand that what looks like a mess – all the logjams, braids and big sunbaked cobble bars on the Sauk – is actually a good thing for fish.
They show a river largely unshackled by riprap and dikes, and allowed to meander as it has since for eons, a sign of a healthy river.
That not many people, farms and infrastructure line its banks make that more possible here, but I'd love it if in another 50 years, when the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act turns 100, more than just one-quarter of 1 percent of the nation's streams are part of the system.

Summer is over, at least on my part. And it has been nice to get some time off with the family, but I have also been working a lot. Both on my part-time job as well as with my business. To be honest I feel a bad for not keeping this journal up to date. I would love to hear about your summer though! What have you been up to, any great wins? Either comment or send me an email at email@example.com
So where do I begin… Well I was supposed to write my quarterly review, but I haven't gotten around to that. And I need to review my past months to get that overview of what I have accomplished. So I suppose that would be next on my agenda.
One of the reasons I haven't been keeping this journal up to date is because of some financial issues, so I decided to get an financial advisor to help. My accountant told me I owed $3000 in taxes from last year and that threw me a bit off, cause I had been so sure that I had paid all that I needed. But according to the accountant I hadn't paid taxes for the period I was home on parental leave with my son (you get monetary support from the state). So safe to say that put a dark cloud over my summer.
Just a week ago though I got some good news. Turns out I didn't owe any taxes after all, I was getting $350 back instead! So obviously my accountant had miscalculated my taxes. But I still going to get financial advise to make sure I don't put myself in this situation. And it has been a bit relieving to get someone from the outside to help you.
Like I mentioned early this summer, I figured out what I want to focus on, what my niche will be. Conversion Optimization. And that sparked a total redesign of my website, social profiles and messaging in general. I spent a lot the summer doing this. I been doing more of the right things this time around. I packaged my offers into 4 different tiers, range from low cost website teardown to a high end full fledged digital marketing overhaul. I also offer stuff for free, even without email sign up through the business blog (only 2 articles so far) and Facebook page, as well as offering a email course to grow that mailing list.
Planning on doing an intro video for the site and I'm going to put together workshops where I work with 5 people and their website and digital marketing strategy. The email course needs to be written up, I've just recently begun writing on it. But as you can tell, I got a lot of things going on.
All of this work has lead me to be less focused on this journal and writing on my book. And it bugs me, cause I want to release a new version of the book in about a month. It's going to be really good and I got some other stuff planned as well around SYFR (Set Your Freelance Rate). I don't want to delay the book, so I need to put in some time towards writing.
I also put together a Mastermind group about a month ago. We have had two meetings so far, and I'm looking forward to see where this will lead us. It with tow guys from Down Under. Simon Kelly from Renegade Empire and Bin Teo.
Like I said though, it's been nice to spend some time with the family, so I thought I share some summer moments with you.

"Hamilton" Performed by Canadian Students Gets Blocked on YouTube
Young guys from Wexford Collegiate School of the Arts (Toronto, Canada) wanted to pay tribute to the revolutionary musical Hamilton. The story about an overlooked Founding Father has won over Canadian hearts as well.
Their passion to perform was great and each rehearsal was accompanied with love. It must have been the reason to try to bring "Hamilton" to Canada. To be more precise, love at the first sight: one of Wexford's students told that the musical enthralled them instantly once they heard it.
The students said that the idea "Hamilton" represented inspired them greatly and they ventured to perform the play. Actually, it was not the musical from the beginning till the end. The guys decided to select a couple of the brightest songs and make a little presentation in the name of respect to the creators.
After their opening night, three videos were posted on YouTube. Thousands of viewers welcomed their attempt to get closer to the record-setting hit. However, the videos got blocked due to copyright concerns. The feeling of anger flooded the students since other plays of "Hamilton" performed by different high schools had not been banned.
The director of the mini-play (the teacher of the students) expressed his hopes about getting the rights to fully perform the musical "Hamilton" in the future. Despite being blocked, the students stay upbeat saying "thanks" to the creators: "Because of what they have done for us and what this show has done for the world. It is revolutionary."

reason #54 I should stop shopping while in a brain cloud
The other night I needed a break and a loaf of bread, so I left the sleeping kids at home with Luke and went to Target. (I can't quit you Target but I need to FOR REAL. I just counted and I've been in four different Targets in the last week. Indianapolis! Land of Targets! Another post for another day.)
I purchased a $7.00 coffee maker (ours only works sometimes which is not nearly enough-- I figured having backup was worth $7.00), a pair of jeans, a four-pack of bottled Starbucks, a loaf of bread. And a box of wine. Or more accurately, a cube of wine.
I am generally not a wine drinker. I prefer beer, honestly. Good beer is delicious. Good wine tastes like... cheap wine. I cannot tell the difference. I tend to be picky and foodie about a lot of things, but wine is not one of them. My only explanation for purchasing a Wine Cube is that I was in kind of a desperate state of mind and it was on sale and the packaging was appealing.
So as I am ringing up my stuff, I break the silence (and I do mean silence, Target was closing and I was one of the last people in there) and start telling the cashier why I am buying a coffee maker.
Me: That coffee maker was only $7, can you believe that? My coffee maker broke and it only works sometimes. And it was not $7, it was like $100, it was a Christmas present from my husband a few years ago. I have two kids and our fancy $100 coffee maker decided not to work this morning and it ruined my whole day.
Her: Oh yeah, girl, you need that caffeine. (Awkward smile)
She rings up the four-pack of bottled Starbucks.
Me: Oh... and that is for backup! Ha ha! Just in case this new coffeemaker doesn't work either! Boy wouldn't that be a hoot!
Her: Yeah, now you'll never run out of coffee again. (Awkward smile)
Me: No, it wasn't the coffee that ran out... it was uh, the coffeemaker that uh... (I watch her as she struggles to put the $7 coffeemaker into a bag)... it's okay! You don't need to bag that. I can just carry it.
I put the coffeemaker in the cart.
Her: Thanks, yeah, that wasn't fitting at all.
She continues to ring up my stuff.
Me: So yeah, it was the coffeemaker that broke. And it makes me mad because my kids are really young and wake up really early, especially now with Daylight Savings Time. I mean, I can't even get up and go to the bathroom without drinking a cup of coffee first--
And as I am talking, no BLABBING on, I walk over to the very far end of the conveyor belt and pick up the cube of wine and carry it over to my cart and put it in.
Her: WHAT are you DOING? I did not ring that up yet!
And then she gives me a look. This look says, "I know why you were just having that ridiculous distracting conversation with me now-- it was so you could STEAL THE WINE."
I am telling you:
I am 100% sure she thought I was trying to steal the wine.
I was not trying to steal it.
It was in a red box, just like the coffeemaker I had just carried to my cart.
My brain was on auto pilot.
But cashier-lady had already pegged me as a crazy because of the rambling on about coffee, so stealing wine was obviously not a reach.
We were silent as I paid.
And then I looked at her and said, "I cannot believe I did that. I think I thought it was my bag or something. I usually carry a big bag when I have my kids with me... I feel so stupid."
And she totally didn't buy it.
Maybe I'll just quit that particular Target store for awhile. I do have three others to fall back on.

A few weeks back left a clothes shop
and the alarms went crazy , my youngest daughter had grabbed an outfit and was sitting in her pram with it. Thankfully they believe me that i was not trying to shoplift

I ramble on to cashiers too but I have never been one to try and steal wine. lol How funny! I can also relate to shopping in a brain cloud due to young ones. I say thank heavens for coffee and a Starbucks in MY local Target.ReplyDelete
so funny and totally something I would have done! I have walked out with something tucked under my arm and the cashier didn't even notice until I came back. Tired does not even begin to describe what having children is like. It gets easier though. Just before you go completely crazyReplyDelete
That's hilarious. I have to have coffee. It's must. I understand.ReplyDelete

I love me some good reds, and have had a ton of good wines with Lodi grapes, but I'm going to be in Lodi next weekend and was wondering if anyone could recommend some wineries with tasting rooms worth visiting. We're going to have a wide range of people there, so a combination of good wine and interesting winery would be ideal...I also tend to be partial to big Zins (missing Zin-fest by a week!) and Cabs. Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated!
Recommended wineries in Lodi, CA?
- Reply by rar8888, Nov 7, 2009.
Definitely check out Macchia. If you like big zins this is the place for you. They make a variety of zinfandels from different vineyards as well as barbera and petite sirah. I have some tasting notes from a few of their zin bottlings on my profile if you are interested. Also I have included the link to their snooth winery page.

Fields Family Wines on Woodbridge Rd - New winery, killer wines.
- Reply by Flamefighter, Mar 7, 2011.
Try Jessie's Grove and Michael David for big Zin's and Ripkin for some interesting wines. I think that Jessie's Grove has the best Zin, at least that we have tasted and that isn't all that much. They have been in the business forever and it shows in their wine. Michael David has good Zin's but their P.S. is their best wine, I think. Ripkin's are a young couple who are working hard with their families to create a family winery and they are super nice. Stop in and try their wine – it is good and they are so friendly they will win you over.
We also belong to Woodbridge's club. Although they don't have the big Zin's that are normally associated with Lodi they do have interesting wines for very reasonable prices.
Hope you let us know how the trip goes!

I aslo want to try Fields Family Wines. I heard about them but never had chance to taste their flavor.

Android Market (and other closed-source-but-free Google apps): The Licensing SNAPU
- While Android (as an operating system) is great, the real issue is that the cream of Android's app crop almost invariably goes through the Android Market. While great for developers (even shoestring developers), it's not so great for makers of MIDs and NIDs that want to use Android as their OS of choice (especially a MID/NID not tied to a wireless provider; the first MID/NID to have an *authorized* Android Market (the Dell Streak) is linked exclusively to AT&T Mobility. The Augen Gentouch is in hot water (and being pulled) largely due to authorization issues with the Market. How authorization to load the Market on any device works has not been stated by either Google or any of the carriers (let alone any of the handset manufacturers), so I have no idea who insisted on the roadblocks. Even more telling, Android 2.2 (Froyo) does *not* include a Web-accessible version of the Market (instead, you must do so through an app).
What I want to know is - just who insisted on all the additional hoops? Google? The carriers?08-14-2010 12:07 PMLike 0

Jeremy Bender is an upbeat track from Emerson, Lake & Palmer's 1971 release Tarkus. The album was the second release from the band which tightened up their sound somewhat and eliminated the Jazz and acoustics of their first release.

"If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite."
~ William Blake
The Doors released this debut album in 1967. Jim Morrison would be dead four years later. The controversy surrounding the band existed from it's inception when they were fired from "The Whiskey a Go Go" for including "indecent" profanity laced material into their dramatic epic "The End". This debut album features a number of unforgettable tracks and could be considered a greatest hits album in its own right. The doors made seven more LPs after this and nearly all of them reached the Top 10 in the charts. This is one of the most important records of the psychedelic, late sixties rock and roll era.
Chris Squire
4 March 1948 – 28 June 2015
The world never caught up to Frank Zappa. His music was innovative, humorous, experimental, and intelligent. He didn't care about being accepted and created the noises that he wanted to create. He blasted the establishment constantly, speaking out against recreational drug use criminalization (even though he didn't do drugs himself), formulaic pop music, human stupidity, and the church.
Joe's Garage Acts 1, 2 & 3 Was released in 1979. It is probably the easiest Zappa Album to listen to and displays all of the elements he is touted for.
When it's cold, it comes slow
It is warm, just watch it grow
All around me
It is here, it is now
Just a little bit of it can bring you up or down
Like the supper it is cooking in your hometown
It is chicken, it is eggs, it is in between your legs
It is walking on the moon, leaving your cocoon
It is the jigsaw, it is purple haze
It never stays in one place, but it's not a passing phase
It is in the single's bar, in the distance of the face
It is in between the cages, it is always in a space
It is here, it is now
Any rock can be made to roll if you've enough of it to pay the toll
It has no home in words or goal, not even in your favorite hole
It is the hope for the dope when you ride the horse without a hoof.
It is shaken, not stirred, cocktails on the roof
When you eat right through it you see everything alive
It is inside spirit, with enough grit to survive
If you think it's pretentious, you've been taken for a ride
Look across the mirror son, before you choose, decide
It is here, it is now, it is real, it is real
'Cause it's only knock and know all, but I like it
Yes it's only knock and know all, but I like it
Yes it's only knock and know all, but I like it, I like it ,I like it
Only knock and know all, but I like it, like it, like it
Like it all around me, like it all around me
'Cause I like it, like it, like it, like it
Ok, just one more Pink Floyd post…I promise! This track is from The Division Bell LP and features some beautiful images of the ISS and Chernobyl.
Pink Floyd has released a Post-Rock record. It's claimed to be a throwback to their psychedelic roots, and even an album of throwaway tracks from their last album, 1994's Division Bell. As throwaway tracks, they demonstrate the early creative process of a Pink Floyd album and that they've never abandoned their signature sound. There is plenty of guitar and percussion accompanying the posthumous contribution of Richard White. Most Pink Floyd fans wouldn't agree, but I'm happy that The Endless River was made of mostly instrumental tracks. Pink Floyd is cosmic and as I once had an epiphany while listening to "Shine on you Crazy Diamond," these tracks evoke the same feelings of universe and sprituality that I'd experienced then.
Past, Present and Future Was released in 1973-74 and is considered Al Stewart's defining album. Each track is historical and attempts to crack the boundary from previous, more folksy tracks to a more brooding progressive style. There are at least 28 contributing musicians on this album, resulting in a lush acoustic guitar harmony throughout.
Take the children and yourself
And hide out in the cellar
By now the fighting will be close at hand
Don't believe the church and state
And everything they tell you
Believe in me, I'm with the high command
Swear allegiance to the flag
Whatever flag they offer
Never hint at what you really feel
Teach the children quietly
For some day sons and daughters
Will rise up and fight while we stood still
Revolver changed everything! This seventh release (1966) marked a significant shift in Beatles music. More electric, more psychedelic, and more experimental, it ushered in the classic rock era and set them on a path to unequaled creativity in the music world. Some say that this also marked a shift in the leadership and creative force of the band. Lennon was the leader of The Beatles up to this point, with McCartney directing the creative direction of the band going forward. The Beatles experimented with timing signatures, feedback, and intentionally straying from predictive tempo and rhythm. This track is my favorite on the LP and is well ahead of its time musically.

Tweed and Byron Shire Councils will share in almost $11 million in the rollout of the Federal government's five year $2.1 billion Roads to Recovery programme.
The Nationals Duty Senator for Richmond John Williams says Tweed Shire Council has been allocated $7.507 million over the life of the programme to 2018-19, and Byron Shire Council will receive $3.248 million.
Senator Williams said in the current financial year Tweed Shire will receive $1.251 million and Byron Shire $541,000 of the $350 million allocation for that year.
He said the good news is that Councils will receive double payments in 2015-16, sharing in a $700 million windfall.
Senator Williams said the August payment has been delayed because the legislation had been needlessly delayed by Labor and the Greens for 5 months, however the payment will be made up this financial year.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development Warren Truss will write to all councils advising them of their full allocations under the Roads to Recovery programme.
Councils can lodge their applications in October, which will allow payments to be made in November", Senator Williams said.

Arimidex Uses
Related MultimediaClick on an icon to view.
How Does Arimidex Work?Arimidex is part of a group of medications called aromatase inhibitors. Aromatase is an enzyme found in various places in the body. These enzymes help produce estrogens (particularly, a certain estrogen called estradiol). In postmenopausal women, most of the estrogen in the body is made by aromatase enzymes. By blocking these enzymes, Arimidex helps to decrease the amount of estrogen in the body.
Many breast cancers are sensitive to the estrogen hormone, meaning that the tumor grows with the help of estrogen. When a tumor is sensitive to estrogen, it has receptors on the outer surface of its cells. Estrogen fits into these receptors like a key opening a lock. When this connection is made, the cancer grows. Breast cancers that have estrogen (and/or progesterone) receptors are known as hormone receptor-positive tumors.
By decreasing estrogen production, Arimidex can help decrease the growth of these breast cancers.
Arimidex Uses in Children, Adolescents, and MenArimidex is not approved to treat breast cancer in children, adolescents, or men (see Male Breast Cancer). Talk to your healthcare provider about the benefits and risks of using Arimidex in children or adolescents.
Off-Label Arimidex UsesOn occasion, your healthcare provider may recommend Arimidex for something other than the condition listed in this article. At this time, off-label Arimidex uses include:
- Breast cancer treatment in premenopausal women
- Treating excess estrogen in men
- Inducing ovulation in women as part of infertility treatment.

Lifetime Stability of CIMac™ pDNA Analytical Column
One of the key steps in purification of plasmid DNA vaccines for therapeutic use is the separation of supercoiled (SC) and open circular (OC) conformations of plasmid DNA. In order to monitor product quantity and the separation of conformations throughout the downstream process as well as to verify the separation quality, accurate, reliable and user-friendly analytical methods need to be in place.
CIMac™ pDNA Analytical Column was developed to meet the selected criteria. It is based on a monolithic support with many advantages over the conventional stationary phases for the separation of biomacromolecules, such as low backpressure, flow unaffected chromatographic properties and high resolution power due to a convective flow transport within open large diameter (1.5 µm) channels. For more details about in-process control of pDNA production on CIMac™ pDNA Analytical Column please check our application note.
