The Gramilano Questionnaire
When Graham Spicer contacted me to do his "Dancer Questionnaire", I thought "Sure!". Little did I know how in-depth some of my answers would have to be! It's a fabulous questionnaire. Enjoy!
When did you start dancing?
I started dancing when I was 9 years old.
Why did you start dancing?
I started dancing because I was driving my mom crazy. She wanted to get me out of the house and into an after-school activity. I had an appalling amount of energy and I absolutely hated every "normal" sport. My mom chucked the phonebook at me one day and said, "Pick something!" I thumbed through the yellow pages and found an ad for a local dance studio. At the time, I didn't realize it was for a dance studio. I just saw the incredible photo, of a man lifting a woman over his head with one hand! Next thing I knew, I was enrolled in jazz, tap, and acrobatics. Ballet came a wee bit later.
Which dancer inspired you most as a child?
Initially, it was my teachers and some of the older students. Janet Jackson had a huge impact on me as a teenager. I loved her music (still do!), her energy, and style. Other influences were Britney Spears and *NSYNC. I willingly knew nothing about Nureyev or Baryshnikov, but those superstars of the late 90's TRL age had me shaking my rumplestiltskin* in my metallic flares and Sketchers. Rough stuff, I know.
Which dancer do you most admire?
I admire loads of dancers! I'd be a fool to just pick one to steal secrets of the trade from. To name a few: Vera-Ellen, of the MGM days; Marcelo Gomes, of ABT fame; Janet (Miss Jackson if you're nasty); Rudolf Nureyev (love that queen!)… and many more!
What's your favourite role?
All of them! Lies. Prince Albrecht in Giselle is one of my favourites. Walking around with a cape and flowers is something I like to do on an almost daily basis. Oh, the glamour.
What role have you never played but would like to?
Dr Frank N Furter, of The Rocky Horror Show.
What's your favourite ballet to watch?
My favourite ballet to watch is George Balanchine's Serenade.
Who is your favourite choreographer?
George Balanchine. Also referred to as Him.
Who is your favourite writer?
Jules Verne: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Mysterious Island, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Around the World in Eighty Days, and many more!
Who is your favourite director?
Hayao Miyazaki. My favourite film of his is Howl's Moving Castle. Close seconds are Princess Mononoke, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, The Cat Returns, Kiki's Delivery Service, Porco Rosso, Spirited Away… so, pretty much all of his films.
Who is your favourite actor?
Miss Piggy.
Who is your favourite singer?
My favourite male vocalist is Seal and my favourite female vocalist is Toni Braxton. Prince and Stevie Nicks are also favourites.
What is your favourite book?
The Bible! Just kidding. I adore sci-fi/fantasy. Patrick Rothfuss' Kingkiller Chronicle is incredible. It's such a poignant mix of imagination and literature! The first two books are titled The Name of the Wind, and A Wise Man's Fear.

Gillian Murphy and James Whiteside in ABT's Swan Lake — photo Andrea Mohin
What is your favourite film?
As far as impact on my life, I'd have to say Tina Fey's MeanGirls. When I was a teenager, it taught me how to be mean while at least knowing I'm being mean.
Which is your favourite city?
I have three. New York City (duh), Tokyo, and Paris. The trifecta.
What do you like most about yourself?
My imagination! It's crazy in there!
What do you dislike about yourself?
My inability to cope with large dinner parties. Table for eight? No thank you.
What was your proudest moment?
When I was promoted to Principal Dancer at American Ballet Theatre.
When and where were you happiest?
I was naïve and complacent in my early twenties. I had incredible friends, family, really. We drank and smoked a lot, and work was secondary to the time and experiences we shared. They're all still my best friends. As the rapper Drake once rapped, "No new friends", just old friends.
What or who is the greatest love of your life?
I have so many great loves. Music is the earth I stand on. I'd absolutely wither away without it! Dance, literature, food, coffee, video games, films, and let's not forget Dan Donigan and my cat, Ms Bit!
What is your greatest fear?
I've never lost anyone truly close to me. I'm terrified of how it will affect me. However, I don't fear my own death.
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
I would change my inability to cope with large dinner parties. Le winke smiley wink James Whiteside answers the Gramilano Questionnaire… Dancers' Edition.
What do you consider your greatest achievement?
Somehow, I became a ballet dancer! I had no interest in becoming a ballet dancer until my mid to late teens. I never thought I'd be a Principal Dancer in a major ballet company, let alone ABT!
What is your most treasured possession?
Can I say my cat? My cat.
What is your greatest extravagance?
My Manhattan apartment is easily the most expensive thing I own.
What do you consider the most overrated virtue?
Patience. Sometimes, you just gotta tell somebody what's what.
On what occasion do you lie?
Sometimes, I tell people it's good to see them when it's not.
If you hadn't been a dancer what would you have liked to be?
I would have swindled my way into the arts come hell or high water. I'd be a musician, or an actor, or a cartoonist… you name it!
What is your most marked characteristic?
I like to make up words. People who know me can vouch for that. If you know me long enough, you'll be fluent in my made up language.
What quality do you most value in a friend?
Humour. If you don't make me laugh, begone!
What quality do you most value in a colleague?
Kindness and respect. I have no time for evil divas.
Which historical figure do you most admire?
The scientific geniuses of the past: Einstein, Copernicus, Galileo, Curie, Planck, Tesla, etc. Talk about changing the world! It all started with curiosity and a little imagination.
Which living person do you most admire?
To stick with the scientist theme, I choose Stephen Hawking. If you haven't read any of his books, do it! Reader, that's your homework.
What do you most dislike?
Oh you know, useless killing and the like, but on a more personally relevant scale, gigantic strollers. It drives me insane when people traipse down the sidewalk with a baby stroller the size of Texas. Often, the children are entirely too old to be wheeled around. Get out and walk!
What talent would you most like to have?
I wish I was the best singer in the universe.
What's your idea of perfect happiness?
Perfect happiness is contentment with one's life. Enjoying the people you love, achieving one's goals, and laughing often are just a few things that are important to me.
How would you like to die?
Quickly and not so old that I'm a pile of goo on polyester sheets.
What is your motto?
I'm still working on one. I always cop out and use this quote from Rocky Horror Picture Show: "Don't dream it. Be it." Good, right? Mine's not so good. It goes something like, "Use logic and don't be an asshole." I guess I still have some work to do.

What a Monday yesterday was, yes friends? Days like this really make you want to curl up inside of your bed and never leave the house. Ever. My stomach is turning, and it didn't help that when I went to the news page to read about the bombing, a banner thrown across the top of the page announced that an Earthquake has reported in Iran and Pakistan. I know this sounds crazy, but this especially makes me nervous since our house is located right on top of a fault…we do live in Earthquake country, after all. And let's not even mention the feelings spawned by the bombing. It literally feels as if I can never leave my house as no place in this world is safe any more.
Last week, before Brandon and I left for a long weekend out of town, I wrote a blog post. It was entitled Fear. After writing it, I decided to wait to post it. Not sure why, but I just didn't feel to hit that "publish" button. But this morning, when I woke up, I knew it was time to share it with you. I went ahead and edited some of it, but the majority of it is what I wrote last week. So, with knots in my stomach this morning, thanks to the bombings, the earthquake, and worry keeping me up at night over money, health issues, family members and other stressors….I want to give you what my thoughts were last week…with hopes that maybe it will encourage you, but most of all, with hopes it will remind me WHO is in charge and WHAT I should do with my fear.
My blog from last week:
I'm going to tell you a little story. One that I'm actually not very proud of, unfortunately. Yet regardless, it's a part of my life and who I am and I think it's time to be talk about it.
I struggle with fear.
Let me explain… as a kid, I struggled so much with anxiety, especially separation anxiety. I'm speaking of the kind of fear that paralyzed you and wouldn't allow you to speak, made you instantly nauseous, and made your mind think of all sorts of terrifying things. If you knew me as a young little girl you're probably nodding your head right now. {ha} I never spent the night over at friend's houses, hated scary rides at amusement parks, and movies that may have a ounce of intensity terrified me. I never wanted to leave my mom. EVER. She was my lifeline and made me feel safe all.the.time. I remember my parents liked to fly down to Mexico for week long vacations once or twice a year and I have vivid memories of me running after their car when they would drive out of the driveway. My poor parents!! hah. Now it just makes me laugh, but believe me when I say, as a kid it was no laughing matter.
Thankfully, my mom was very clued into my feelings, God bless her. I'm not sure what triggered my anxiety as a kid. We moved a lot, so maybe that had something to do with it. To be honest, I was very blessed and had so much but….
In fact, it seems, from my short experiences with anxious people, that often it's those who have an abundance that struggle the most with anxiety. At any case, I really believe that with all my heart, fear can hit you at any time, stage or moment in your life. Regardless of how blessed you may be.
As I became a teenager, things seemed to calm down a little for me in the fear department. Don't get me wrong, I still struggled, but I started to learn techniques to combat those moments of sheer terror. I learned to breathe, focus, call on the name of Jesus…all of these things worked and helped me move farther and farther away from a pattern of anxiety. Today, I rarely struggle with those paralyzing moments…and when they do hit me, I usually take some deep breaths, focus on what's around me and remember that HE HAS IT ALL UNDER CONTROL. That's the key, I think.
I've been doing a lot of thinking about fear lately. You see, there have been some things recently, that I touched on here, that have caused me to stay up at nights with anxiety. Thankfully it's not the kind of paralyzing anxiety that I struggled with as a kid, but this kind of anxiety leaves me talking to the Lord a lot. Asking Him "why" and "how" and "what" of about certain things in life. And I'm going to be honest, sometimes I get angry. Because it's not easy to look down at the full picture and see God's plan. It's not. There's a balance to it, you know. You have to somehow find a way to look through things that might shake you and see the good….see the GOD in it. See HIS plan, not YOURS.
See, sometimes, when you follow HIM…the path isn't always very clear. And just when you, so full of faith, hop on that path He may have for you, suddenly the path may seem very cloudy {especially when you look around you and it seems the world is falling apart}. And you look back at the other paths you could have taken and they look so sunny, and you suddenly wonder…WHAT HAVE I DONE?!?! …is any of this making any sense to you?
So I've been fighting. I've been fighting the anxiety with faith. With thankfulness. With peeling back the fog on my path and forcing my eyes to see the sun. Because it's THERE. It really is. We walk these roads by faith. But I'm going to be honest, it's not easy. If these roads were meant to be easy, then more than likely it wouldn't be called a road of faith.
I'm not sure how it happened, but two weeks ago I stumbled across Proverbs 31 online devotional journey with Melissa Taylor and I realized I still had time to join before it started. The book they were studying was The Stressed-Less Living. Ok, sounded good right? I hopped over to her blog and read the scripture that went with the first week….
"Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with My victorious right hand." Isaiah 41:10 NLT
Don't be afraid, for I am with you. don't be discouraged, for I am your God. As I continued to read it, I realized that all the fear and all the anxiety of late was just God's way of reminding me that I have forgotten… HE IS HERE. He is taking care of it, and all I have to do is hand it over to Him.
Please remember friends. God is with you. I promise, He is. I know sometimes it's so hard to see it. Do your best to believe that beyond the cloudy, dark and scary nights, there is a sun that is breaking through, ready to shine.
Praying for Boston. Continually.
I love you all!

Antique Dining Table Restoration
Sue's treasured table had been in storage for a long long time. Sue approached us and asked if we could breathe new life into this beautiful antique with perfect proportions. The table's original finish had broken down over the years and the exposed timber had 'greyed'. We set about bringing back the colour to its cheeks! Firstly we fully stripped the antique dining table, then applied a number of linseed oil coats to bring back the life and luster to this charming piece of furniture. With three top coats of woodwax, a quick bake in the sun and hey presto the table was re-invigorated.
Exceptionally friendly, helpful and creative service. Highly recommended for restoring or creating new pieces

Mid-Century Bookcase
This fantastic mid-century bookcase had seen better days, but owner Sarah could see its potential and loved the proportions. The Tane team set to work bringing back the life and luster to the 'greyed out' and water damaged unit. A bit of repair work was also required to the front rail on the bookcase, which had deteriorated after a while living on the front porch. After several coats of linseed oil mix and a traditional wax finish this beautiful piece was ready for action and many more years of service.
Gary did a fantastic job restoring our water and pet damaged MCM bar/cabinet. Even the guys who did the delivery for me were impressed! They're recommending Tane all over town. I have to say, I am too! The cabinet was thoughtfully and carefully brought back from the ruin it was. It now looks stunning. I absolutely couldn't be happier. Thank you (again and again and again) Gary, for the beautiful work and for keeping me up to date the whole way through your process.
Kara Lane
Vintage Display Cabinet
This vintage display cabinet was a touch on the mouldy side! It had signs of water damage and really needed some love. We set about stripping this vintage treasure, using all traditional, hands on techniques. We uncovered the beautiful oak timber and started to bring back the life and luster using danish oil and wax finish. The final result was a beautifully understated fully restored vintage display cabinet, with an extremely happy client.
commissioned Tane Design to restore four pieces of mid century and early Australian furniture that held incredible sentimental value. Gary was wonderful and took such great care to understand what I was wanting to achieve and how they were going to fit into the overall interior of the house. The end result was fantastic and I would not hesitate to use or recommend Gary's services.

Restored Arm & Rocking Chair
This little mid-century arm chair had seen better days, it also had a partner in crime, a beautiful rocking chair. Somewhere along the line the chair had been painted black and the rocking chair had a dark stain. Colin & Jacqui wanted them both to be restored back to their original finish and also new cushions and fabrics for the chairs. We stripped both the rocking chair and arm-chair frames… they need several attempts but they came up a treat. A few licks of danish oil and
Found Tane furniture through the Yellow Pages and emailed them photos of my furniture. i then took the piece in for Gary to look at so that he felt comfortable with what he had quoted. He was great to talk to and you could tell he loved what he did. He told me it would take a couple of weeks and true to his word he contacted me to let me know my furniture was ready to be picked up. It looked absolutely fabulous and turned out way better than i thought it would....he certainly puts his heart and soul into what it does and it shows in what he produces....thanks!

Mid-Century Arm Chair Restored & Re-upholstered
This little mid-century arm chair was in need of some serious love and attention. The Tane team went to work. We completely dis-assembled the timber frame including beautiful mid-century shaped arms. Cleaned out all the old glue from the joints, re-glued, clamped and set. Several coats of oil to revitalise aging timber and a final coat of natural carnauba wax and this little guy was well on his way to recovery. Now for the fabric… What better to compliment this beautiful mid-century arm chair than some hand printed Ink & Spindle fabric. Beautifully upholstered with pipping detail, whoa, another mid-century treasure saved from extinction!
Highly recommend Tane as an excellent furniture repair service. I took in some clapped out bar stools in to Gary at Tane and he repaired them exactly as I wanted with high quality work. Worth mentioning also is that aside from his talent for design and restoration, Gary is a positively lovely person with a can-do and no-fuss approach. Thanks again.
Jessie Carthew
Stuart's 1950's Stool
Stuart's beautiful little 1950's oak stool was badly twisted and unfinished. Our client wanted us to re-shape the seat to provide a more consistent dish in the seat and also re-finish in a natural wood wax finish. Although a small stool this was still quite a challenge, but the Tane team rose to the occasion and sympathetically re-shaped and re-finished the stool. Stuart was over the moon with the result.
Gary did an excellent job, kept in touch throughout the whole process and basically did what he said he would do and by when it promised to do it.
Annette's Red Gum Dining Table
Annette's beautiful solid red gum dining table had lost some of its 'pizazz'! After 15 years of service (several in the hands of her son) the surface finish was beginning to break down, the life and lustre of this fantastically charactered native timber was lost. It was time to call in the Tane Restoration team! We stripped the entire dining table by hand. Then using traditional natural oils set about re-building the life and lustre in the beautiful solid red gum. With finishing coats of highly durable and protective Osmo wood wax this table is ready for another 15 years + faithful service.
Gary, we have received so many compliments on the mid-century furniture (dining table, sideboard and side table) you beautifully restored for us that we can only praise your workmanship and highly recommend you to anyone who needs their furniture restored. Thanks for doing an excellent job time and again. It's refreshing to find someone so passionate and enthusiastic about their work.

Dear Lifehacker, I accept one acclaim agenda now and am cerebration about applying for a few added cards because of the rewards. Is there such a affair as accepting too abounding acclaim cards, though? Or too few? What's the ideal cardinal of acclaim cards to have?
Signed,Credit Agenda Curious
Dear CCC,There absolutely isn't a abracadabra cardinal of acclaim cards anybody should have. Added acclaim cards could absolutely addition your acclaim score, which is important for accepting loans, extenuative on allowance rates, and alike accepting a job (plus get the added allowances and rewards you mention), but accepting assorted cards can additionally be added risky. It's a little catchy because not accepting abundant acclaim history could additionally set you back. So here's what you charge to know.
We all apperceive (or should know) that aback we administer for a car loan, a acclaim agenda account, or a lease…
When the acclaim bureaus anniversary your acclaim score, the cardinal of acclaim cards you accept is a actual accessory allotment of the equation. As Investopedia explains [emphasis mine]:
Your acquittal history makes up 35% of your FICO score, while your absolute debt owed amounts to 30% of your final FICO score. Making up the final 15%, 10% and 10% of your FICO anniversary are the breadth of your acclaim history, any new acclaim that you accept taken on, and the blazon of acclaim you accept used.
When artful your alone FICO score, the cardinal of acclaim cards that you accept will access the aboriginal abounding category: the blazon of acclaim that you use.
The cardinal of acclaim accounts you accept altogether—not aloof acclaim cards, but things like auto loans, mortgages, apprentice loans, and abundance revolving accounts—make up 10% of your score. You could accept one or two cards or twenty-two, but the abundant added important factors are if you pay your bills on time and how you're utilizing your credit.
The boilerplate cardinal of acclaim cards Americans own is three to four. According to Acclaim Karma, there is a alternation amid accepting a aerial acclaim anniversary (800 ) and accepting added acclaim cards (7), compared to bodies with lower scores. This could be because bodies with college acclaim array are able to accessible added acclaim cards, though. Bodies who hunt biking rewards in accurate tend to accept a abundant abounding cards accessible at a time (though not as abundant as the almanac holder in the Guinness Book of World Records, who has 1,497 cards with a $1.7 actor acclaim band and about absolute credit).
To accord you a guideline of how abounding acclaim accounts is advised acceptable for us accustomed people, Mint's acclaim advertisement apparatus tells me 0-5 accounts is "poor." 6-12 is "not bad," 13-21 is "good," and 22 or added accounts (open or closed) is "excellent." Again, though, that's for all types of acclaim and for aloof a baby allotment of the acclaim anniversary pie.
Mint is a abundant online allotment tool; in fact, it's a clairvoyant favorite. And the armpit has just…
While there can be abrogating aspects to owning assorted cards besides aloof your acclaim anniversary (more on that in a bit), about speaking, your acclaim anniversary won't go bottomward aloof because you accept several cards—unless you're aperture and closing a agglomeration of cards at already ("churning" cards), which is not a acceptable idea.
Do you anytime assurance up for a acclaim agenda aloof to accept the reward? Among acclaim agenda reward…
The cardinal of acclaim cards you accept does accomplish a aberration for one of the bigger factors: Your absolute debt owed, as a allotment of your acclaim limit. Back every new acclaim agenda increases your absolute acclaim limit, abacus addition agenda decreases your debt-to-credit arrangement (as continued as you don't add added debt). For example, if you owe $500 on one acclaim agenda with a $1,000 absolute (50% utilization) and accessible a new acclaim agenda with a $4,000 limit, that would accomplish your all-embracing appliance 10% ($500 out of $5,000)—much bigger in lenders' and acclaim scoring agencies' eyes.
Of course, you could additionally ask your acclaim agenda aggregation to access your absolute to $5,000, instead of accepting a new card. This would accept the aforementioned aftereffect of convalescent your anniversary after the accessory hit you get for aperture a new account—plus you alone accept to administer one acclaim card. (myFico says that, generally, acclaim inquiries accept a baby appulse on the score, demography beneath than bristles credibility off for one inquiry. Six, however, is too much. Also, if you accept a continued acclaim history and an accomplished acclaim score, new accounts will accept basal appulse on your score, says NerdWallet.)
The percent of debt you backpack on anniversary acclaim agenda affairs as well, but that's why accepting at atomic three acclaim cards can advice you. If you use added than 20% of your card's absolute every month, you can advance the antithesis about to assure your acclaim score.
Common argumentation suggests that befitting assorted accessible curve of acclaim can aching your acclaim score, but…
Many bodies use acclaim cards not aloof for the accessibility but for the rewards (although accounts experts don't accede on whether block rewards are anniversary it). You can use one agenda that has a aerial banknote aback for gas and groceries, for example, and a added one that rewards you with biking credibility aback you banquet out or travel. This maximizes the rewards you can get.
Credit agenda rewards programs accept become badly popular. And abounding of us use them after a hitch.…
Also, Visa, American Express, MasterCard, and Discover all accept their own rewards programs and allowances for cardholders. If you appetite the buy-one-get-one-free cine admission on Fridays from Fandango, for example, you'll charge a Visa Signature card. Or if you appetite the appropriate basement at concerts and such offered to Amex holders, you'll charge an Amex. Besides those added perks, admired appearance like amount aegis and auto rental allowance ability accomplish you baddest a accurate card. I accept a acclaim agenda from one coffer that I use alone aback arcade on new sites online, because it lets me accomplish a basic acclaim agenda cardinal for added security.
Virtual acclaim agenda numbers (or single-use acclaim cards) action a band of aegis aback shopping…
So far it seems like you should go advanced and administer for the added cards, right? Not so fast. Although artlessly accepting added acclaim cards doesn't abnormally affect your acclaim score, there are added considerations.
Opening new cards does affect your acclaim history (and appropriately score). First, don't blitz in to accessible a agglomeration of cards every time you see adorable offers. Although aperture new accounts, as mentioned above, tends to alone anniversary a acting bead of a few points, the new cards will additionally abate the boilerplate age of your acclaim history (how continued you've had your acclaim accounts). That's not as cogent as how you able-bodied you pay your debt either, but if you're activity to be in the bazaar for a above accommodation soon, it's article to consider, as these baby hits add up and can accomplish the aberration amid actuality accustomed and not.
More cards are a altercation to maintain. To anticipate acclaim agenda companies from potentially closing your accounts due to inactivity, you'd charge to consistently use anniversary of your cards—when you accept added than a few, that can get unwieldy. You don't appetite your anniversary to get closed, because that could abundantly appulse your anniversary back it reduces your all-embracing acclaim limit. (That's additionally why you don't appetite to aing acclaim cards willy nilly either. If a agenda has an anniversary fee you could see about abasement the agenda to the no-fee adaptation instead).
Also, alike with automated payments, it's aloof harder to accumulate clue of dozens of cards.
More cards and college acclaim banned could ambush you into spending more. If you're not careful, you could end up absurdity (especially if you're block rewards and aggravating to accommodated minimum absorb requirements). On My Own Two Feet authors Manisha Thakor and Sharon Kedar say you should alone accept two claimed acclaim cards max. Their reasoning:
First, with too abounding cards, you may end up spending added in absolute than you realize. Second, with so abounding bills, you access the allowance of not advantageous one of them on time. Advantageous backward will aching your banking reputation, activate arduous backward fees, and generally aftereffect in college amends absorption rates.
However, if you're amenable with your spending, pay your bills in abounding anniversary month, and accumulate your balances low, added cards won't acceptable aching and they could alike advice your credit. How abounding is appropriate for you absolutely depends on your abundance administration and managing them.

Guys, we don't know what to say. The past few days were simply amazing. It was one big family again and we're happy all those great people and bands were part of it. You, our loyal audience, was the best we could imagine. We really mean that. Most of you sticked to the schedule like only our stage manager does. Also we didn't have to pick up a single can or anything else at the camping site. Thank you so much for keeping it clean!
Unfortunately we were not able to see all the shows ourselves but the ones we saw were epic and overwhelming.
Half of the backstage crew grabbed their own instruments to play a show at #dnk15. Celestial Wolvesopened this 11th edition in style. Stories From The Lost covered in for Doomina who didn't make it in time because of a flat tire. We hope you enjoyed those bands too.
Thank you so much again for being part of #dnk15 and we hope to see you all next year on May 5-6-7. We started working on that a few weeks ago.

After going through each of The Hip's studio albums chronologically, I found that it's impossible to rank each record from 1-13. The evolution of the band and the personality of each recording are so strong from record to record.
In this entry, I've condensed my previous five-part series and reordered an attempt at ranking.
I'll post a reflection on the legacy of the band and a look at essential songs in the coming days.
Thanks for reading!
5 Dancing Gords Out Of 5: My Top 5
Fully Completely (1992)
This record is a masterpiece. It is the single greatest achievement in The Tragically Hip's discography. Hands down. No argument. With all of the Canadiana infused into the lyrics, you just want to pour maple syrup over this album and devour every note.
Fully Completely is a rare blend of excellence in production, musicality, lyrics, and song selection. The Hip have always been a great rock band, but just listen to how hard and heavy they perform "Lionized" and "The Wherewithal." The latter could be on a metal record, but the minimalist approach to the arrangements and production, along with Gord Downie's voice, make it blend perfectly with the rest of the record.
Gord Downie's evolution as a lyricist and singer takes a huge step forward on this record. On their previous two albums, Downie sings in a prose-like fashion, as if he's narrating individual short stories. But, the lyrics and phrasing on Fully Completely have space; there seems to be a turn toward the figurative compared to the stronger literal narrative that appears in his previous work. This album is also where Downie begins to approach songs like a poet and an actor ("Locked in the Trunk of a Car", "Looking for a Place to Happen"). He sang with passion and emotion on previous recordings, but nothing like "LET ME OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT!".
Road Apples (1991)
As a sophomore record, there is a version of The Hip here that matured significantly as songwriters. Just listen to the arrangement of "Cordelia" versus the arrangement of any of the tracks on Up to Here. The melodies and stories are still strong, but the literal is becoming more figurative, and the straight ahead three or four chord rhythm guitar is dissipating in favour of harmony and complimentary riffs.
This album is where the band starts to cement their legacy as Canadian icons on tracks like "Three Pistols" and "Fiddler's Green."
We Are the Same (2009)
Through the chronological sequence of The Hip's catalogue, this album is an amazing sonic anomaly. It gives the band Beatles, even Radiohead-like credence because it is a departure from anything else in their catalogue, and it works.
This album seems to be the most perfect one to sit and strum along to since Road Apples. I can picture the boys in the band sitting around a campfire, trading songs off this album with Sarah Harmer and Jim Cuddy. Is it only me? Sorry, just my version of a little Canadian rock fantasy camp.
Did George Martin get a hold of the band and Bob Rock for this one? Accordion, string arrangements, pedal steel, flugelhorn, piano (etc.) on a Hip record? There are also layered and polished harmonies. Any Hip fan loves the way Paul Langlois and Gord Sinclair let loose on background vocals on past records, but—again—the new approach on this record works. An early 90's Hip enthusiast might spit at the thought of all of this, but:
• This album cements the band's legacy as excellent songwriters. There's a beauty, honesty, diversity, and accessibility on this record that is admirable.
• Most profoundly, Gord Downie has always been a great rock singer, but on this album he is a great singer, period. Gord doesn't miss a note while ranging from quiet and honest, to full-bodied and powerful. His voice is crystal clear and forward in the mix, lyrics are less figurative, and each word is clearly emphasized. If you're a singalong Hip fan, this is the most singalongable album since 1991. Did I just say "singalongable"??? Good.
The somewhat surprising balance between country and rock on this record just screams rural Saskatchewan (or Ontario for that matter). Given the guys-next-door in Anytown, Canada aura of this band, the uniqueness of this record makes sense.
Up to Here (1989)
This record defines every recording that follows by establishing The Hip's minimalistic sound and straight ahead brand of rock n roll. There are legendary singles, and B-sides that could have been singles for any other band at the time.
I remember looking at the artwork for Up to Here when I was a kid; the picture made the band seem like the guys who live next door in any Canadian town, rehearsing in the basement on a Saturday night—quietly at first, but with more intensity after Hockey Night in Canada. The music matched that image.
The legend of this record speaks for itself, so—
Phantom Power (1998)
Fully Completely, easily their greatest achievement, was full of Canadian shout-outs, but these references were minimal on their next two records. Phantom Power is the lyrical and musical equivalent of the entire band lining up at the foot of the Ambassador Bridge and giving any potential US record execs a full-bodied middle finger.
How many listeners outside of Canada would relate to a story for a girl from Thompson, Manitoba? Why would someone pinpoint a defining moment of a relationship as when his girl was "loosening [his] grip on Bobby Orr"? And where or what the heck is a "Bobcaygeon", and why would anyone ever sing about it?
This record, as the title alludes to, has a kick to it. That full tilt in your face rock n roll production that was muted on the previous two records comes out in force on Phantom Power. Many of the songs are memorable, sing along anthems once again, and each seems to evoke a separate lasting image.
Transition Records With Powerhouse Singles
Day For Night (1994)
As many bands do, The Hip could have gone into the studio after the monumental success of Fully Completely, used the same producer, and followed a similar format to recapture its essence and success. But no. Day for Night is almost the complete opposite of that approach (perhaps what the title hints at?).
Compared to Fully Completely (which one can't help but do), the production of this record is far more raw, the lyrics more dark.
There are standout tracks that have stood the test of time:
• "Grace, Too": Come on! When the full band comes in and lets loose together on the riff, you can't help but nod your head and rock out with them. Damn! That's a heavy riff!
• "Nautical Disaster": I'm assuming this was the biggest hit from this record. What's crazy about that after listening now? There's no chorus in this song. Got a problem with that? Head back to "Greasy Jungle" and sing along. Oh! Also, along with "Grace, Too," this song has the signature Hip driving outro. Love it.
• "Inevitability of Death": Speaking of singing along, if you're still reading this, you've probably sung this song to yourself many times, trying to perfect Gord's tongue twisting wordplay: "I thought you beat the death of inevitability to death just a little bit / I thought you beat the inevitability of death to death just a little bit." What's that? You haven't done this? You mean, like me, you haven't hit pause and tried to mimic… OK, Maybe it is just me.
Trouble at the Henhouse (1996)
Like Day for Night, this is another statement record that separates itself from its predecessor. Contrast the dark, raw production of "Fire in the Hole" on Day for Night, with the catchy, endearing acoustic guitar in the nostalgic anthem "Ahead by a Century."
There are epic Hip anthems on this record: "Giftshop" has everything that makes a Hip song a great Hip song; "Ahead by a Century" is in the running for the best Hip song of all time. The lyrics speak of nostalgia, and that feeling is even stronger over 20 years later.
In contrast to these hits, there are more songs that have Gord Downie experimenting with poetry and the persona that he brings to each song: "Coconut Cream", "700 Ft. Ceiling", "Butts Wigglin".
Much respect for the band's willingness to experiment with different approaches to songwriting and production.
World Container (2006)
There is a new sound for The Hip on this record; Bob Rock gave the overall sound more body than the Hip's past recordings. He also seems to have influenced the arrangements of their songs and Gord Downie's vocal delivery ("The Kids Don't Get It" is playful and powerful—something that continues through the rest of the Hip's catalogue).
Many of the songs are undeniably catchy. "Yer Not the Ocean" is more in your face than the band had sounded since Phantom Power; "The Lonely End of the Rink" is everything I love about a Gord Downie lyric (the title alone does it for me); "Fly", despite being a more cliché title for Downie, is positive and infectious; and the life affirming and upbeat "In View", easily the band's closest attempt at a pop song (my wife automatically starts bobbing her head when it comes on).
There is a slight dilemma: the back end of the record doesn't match the intensity and quality of the first six tracks. Are the changes to the band's formulas to blame? Quite possibly. Is "In View" just too damn catchy? Most definitely.
Modern Gem of this record: Listen to intently to the lyrics in "Fly" and think of Gord Downie. I hope he's made it to Moonbeam.
The Unrankable New Records
Overall, there's an honesty in these two records that hasn't been as blatant in The Hip's previous work. The reality of the ups and downs of life comes through in a profoundly beautiful way that cannot be compared with the rest of the band's catalogue.
Now for Plan A (2012)
In a previous blog, I mentioned how I see a similarity to The Hip's catalogue as that of Radiohead (This is a stretch, I know, but it's there.) As a fan of Radiohead, I've needed to listen to most of their records from top-to-bottom a few times before "getting it". This also applies to Now for Plan A.
There are a lot of really cool, and very passionate songs on this record (and multiple Sarah Harmer appearances! My Canadian rock n roll fantasy camp is one step closer!), but since it summarizes my relationship with this record so well, I'll focus on one song: "We Want To Be It."
"Drip, Drip, Drip." The first time I heard this lyric repeated again and again, I didn't know what to think. The amount of repetition and the phrasing of the words are unique for a Hip tune. As I put the context of the struggles that Gord Downie and his wife, Laura, must have gone through while she battled breast cancer, it all started to come together.
I now think of a husband sitting beside his wife's hospital bed, desperate to help, but helpless in desperation. I picture this husband sitting in a stale hospital room wishing that time would fast forward so that all times could be better. Yet, the clock would be ticking as slowly as the drip from an IV/chemotherapy drip bag that would probably make the love of his life feel far worse before she feels any better.
The repetition now makes perfect sense. The pleading in Downie's voice, reflected by the dynamic supplied by the band, is intense through this lens of reality. Downie is pouring his heart out for the woman he loves above all else. He'd trade places with her if he could, and he's sharing this with his fans. This may be Gord's most profound poem, song, and performance.
This song summarizes my whole experience with this album. I've written of powerhouse singles in previous blogs; there are none here. However, there is poetry and music produced with passion, and Sarah Harmer's harmonies are absolutely perfect.
Man Machine Poem (2016)
In the first break in the set at the Hip's August 1st show in Calgary, a guy seated next to me asked what I thought of the show so far. I told him, "Nostalgia and reality are making this so awesome in so many ways."
This is also true of this record.
I understand that Man Machine Poem was recorded before Gord Downie's terminal diagnosis, but the reality of his illness cannot be avoided when listening to this record; there is a ton of emotion in the music and lyrics. Since the title of the album was borrowed from a song from Now for Plan A, the consistency from record to record makes sense. There's no doubt that what Gord Downie and his family had gone through with his wife's illness changed his perspective and his poetry. Still, one can't help but interpret many of these songs as addressing Gord's own illness.
Highlights of this record:
• The mechanistic voice at the intro of the album is the most un-Hip-like production of all, but suits the song and album title so well.
• I have to admit that the first time I heard "In a World Possessed by the Human Mind," I thought it was Arcade Fire. This track is one of my favourites of theirs in a long time. The playfulness in Gord's delivery, especially in the final verse, just makes me smile. Any Hip fan would picture that playfulness coming alive on stage.
• As I stated on Twitter a few days back, "What Blue" may be the most honest love song that Gord D's ever penned. After digging into "We Want to Be It" on Now for Plan A, I will change my opinion slightly: "What Blue" is the most literal love song Gord Downie has ever penned: "I love you so much, it distorts my life / What drove and drives you drove and drives me too." Wow.
• "In Sarnia": There's passion, longing, and honesty once again.
• "Tired as F**k" is another one that makes me imagine Gord during his treatments, or helping his wife.
• The atmospheric track "Ocean Next": "I'll turn my music up/Listen don't guess/At the centre of it, a little sadness/ Ocean next, the thousand pictures/ Better than sex, or salt'n'vinegar chips." Seriously, how many people can get away with a line like that, other than Gord? A Hip fan can't help but smile.
Records with Personality
In Violet Light (2002)
This is a really solid record.
The Hip sonically blend the laid back feel of Henhouse, the rawness of Day for Night, and even some of the straight-ahead rock of Fully Completely. I love how Rob Baker's artwork creates the mood for the entire album, and how the band plays around with songwriting formulas that have worked so well for them in the past. Check out how they experiment with different feels, time signatures, and arrangements in "All Tore Up," "Leave," "A Beautiful Thing," and "The Dark Canuck."
Rather than continuing the Phantom Power→Music @ Work feel, including opening the album with a power hit ("Poets", "My Music at Work"), this record takes a little time to get going, but when it does, The Hip give three sing along tunes that reward their fans ("The Darkest One," "It's a Good Life if You Don't Weaken," "Silver Jet").
In Between Evolution (2004)
Even though there isn't a typical powerhouse single that everyone will belt out at a concert, there's a strong personality to this record that makes me feel good as a fan of this band. This record sounds like a band that got together, listened to some late 70's punk, blended it with their own minimal style, hit record, and had fun. And, isn't this what makes this band so legendary, so endearing? Doesn't this also equate The Hip with Pearl Jam? These two bands play straight-ahead rock music over an ever-evolving discography, with a loyal fan base, and a just-one-of-the-guys aura that pervades their careers. Think of this comparison when listening to this record.
"It Can't Be Nashville Every Night" is such a great tune.
Just Not My Fave
Music @ Work (2000)
Ok, so here it is: I don't connect to this record as much as the rest of The Hip's catalogue. Aside from the opening track single and the hook in "Putting Down," not many of the songs are as memorable as you would find on past Hip records. Also, the lyrics aren't as accessible on much of this record.
Sometimes I rate my enjoyment of a band on how I imagine them live in concert. If this were The Hip's only record, I would picture them being a great opening act on a stadium tour across Canada. I'd go to the show, sit through their opening set, buy the t-shirt, and probably wonder why I spent the 30 bucks a couple weeks later. Then, a couple of months would go by and they'd come through town, headlining a small club. I'd go. I'd sweat it out on the dance floor. I'd love it for that night. Once in a while, down the road, while I'm driving in my truck "My Music at Work" would pop up on shuffle and I'd go, "Who the heck is this?" My wife would look at my phone, tell me, and I'd say, "Oh yeah. They were good. Weren't they?"
Nevertheless, as part of a complete discography and an evolution of a band, of this band in particular, I can appreciate the band grinding out these songs together and evolving their creative process.

I didn't listen. They told me not to wear white. "You're a new mom. Moms just can't wear white." I despised this statement. I thought to myself, "I can rock white. Just because I'm a mom, now I can't wear white? But I like white. Who cares what they say. I'm going to be a rebel and do it anyway." So I flounced around in ivory lace skirts and more recently in this winter white blazer. Well, I'm sad to say, everyone was right. This white blazer lasted no more than an hour on our leisurely Saturday afternoon. I won't go into details, but you can probably imagine a scenario or two that could have happened to my white blazer. The only upside was that I got to (had to) buy a new sweater to wear for the rest of the day. The take away from this experience: I am not going to stop wearing white. However, I will most likely save my white wearing days for those when I am back in the office with no little munchkins around.
It's starting to get chilly here in New York City, and I am getting super excited for a little mini vacay we are taking to Florida on Wednesday! The weather is looking nice and warm for our trip, and I have a fresh mani/pedi for the occasion (thanks hubby for watching Nico so I could enjoy 90 minutes of bliss). It's time to get packin' over here.
Hope you all enjoy the week!

About two weeks, Widgetbox unveiled a new look and navigation. At that time, we launched hubs for partners and advertisers with a promo-graphic touting the network's 56,000,000 monthly uniques - a number we are quite proud of.
… Now, just two weeks later, we are proud to announce a new number: 60,000,000 (or 60.6 to be exact!). Just a few days have passed and the network has grown significantly. We use Quantcast (another one of my favorite companies) to verify our metrics and data.

Best feeling ever:
Today I woke up and ran before my brain knew what I was doing and cruised the entire time to Destiny's Child. Because I was half asleep for the entire run it went really fast and when I got back I already felt excited to go for another.
In other news, we have moved to a completely new-to-me city known as Rotorua/Sulphur City/Roto-Vegas and basically live in a volcanic crater now. Super normal I know.
The cat helped us pack. (ps. those are basically all my worldly possessions… we really take living light to a whole new level).
The last dinner at home before we left. Now we have to go back to cooking dinner for ourselves again… Hopefully Curtis is on board for a cereal-fest 🙂
The air smells like rotten eggs here because of the sulphur but you weirdly get used to that super quickly and NBD (that means no big deal Mum 😉 ) we moved here for the best job of my LIFE 🙂
Celebratory ice-cream in the car when we found out I got the job and a Mr. Whippy went by at the same moment:
I am a Family Therapist now which is basically the most exciting thing ever (just casually been working like a frantic beast towards this for the last 4 (!!!) years). Better do some reading on family dynamics (just kidding I swear I am equipped for this). Major pro of my new work- there are TOYS all over the office for working with children and I am pretty excited that I get to play with them too. Don't pretend you wouldn't want to get paid to play with toys. Excuse my creepy eyeball.
Me on my first day of work (I was awkwardly early because being late on the first day = the stuff of nightmares).
We celebrated with a phenomenal dinner at Lone Star… they have the most incredible loaf of fresh bread that I have obsessively ranted to Curtis about for the last two years and he finally got to experience it for himself- for free because we had a coupon… best night ever. I was awkwardly excited about it to the waitress and I am pretty sure she wondered why I was so friendly because she doesn't know that I waitressed the last two years of my life and have a very good idea of how sore her feet probably are.
Yes that is a ginormous ramekin of garlic butter right next to it.
So also, we are living in a backpacker hostel now…. not so much the dream 😉 But we are house hunting like crazy, and in the meantime we get to make sophisticated meals like this:
And laugh at this sign every time I see it.
Oh yeah and these are our new friends because Rotorua is full of them. I got pecked by a black swan when I was little but after all the therapy I went through in my training I am more-or-less over it 😉
Please feel free to have any treat of your choosing (my choice is obviously lollies… below ones the cutest I have seen in my life) to celebrate my exciting news (and feel free to say a little prayer that we won't be living in the hostel for much longer 😉 ).
What keeps you excited to run?
What gets you out there regardless of whether you are excited to run or not?
What were you doing when you found out you were accepted at your job?
How long have you been at your job and do you love it or hate it?

Opened June 16, 2013 (Limited)
1 hr 12 min
My Little Pony: Equestria Girls follows up the season finale of Season 3 just after Twilight Sparkle becomes a Princess and transforms into an Alicorn. The movie was originally released in limited theaters in the US and Canada. It's scheduled to be released on DVD/Blu Ray on August 6th.
My daughter the hardcore ponies fan that she is, saw this before I did. When I originally saw the Mane Six as colorful "humans", I was quite turned off. I understood that the movie makes for a good marketing standpoint. A great reason to produce new My Little Pony toys instead of having the umpteen iteration of Pinkie Pie with just new accessories. Watching the entire movie recently with my daughter recently, the film was actually not bad. The songs, the characters, and message is quite typical of a My Little Pony episode. But with them as teenage "humans", it's everything that I would imagine a High School Musical movie would be like.
As with many other episodes the musical numbers are there and full of the spirit that you find in them. As I've said the movie occurs just after the finale of season 3. The film begins with Twilight returning home only to have her crown stolen by a new character Sunset Shimmer which turns out to be a former student of Princess Celestia. In a through the looking glass scenario, Twilight Sparkle along with Spike has to journey into the other side to retrieve her crown back. Watching Twilight adjust from being on all four hooves, to being a biped are some of my favorite parts of the movie.
Overall, I would recommend the film to kids as well as Bronies alike. After you get over the initial shock of the character designs of the other "world", a good story line and all the usual characters in a different light makes this a welcome addition to Twilight's journey.
Rating: 3.0 Stars out of 5.0 Stars
- Tara Strong as Twilight Sparkle
- Ashleigh Ball as Applejack and Rainbow Dash
- Andrea Libman as Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy

Quoting the ever appropriately titled movie, Basic Instinct. I'm applying the quote to my basic instincts as a mother.
Aria is pretty much in a routine of her own now, and isn't far off the guide given in the highly rated baby books - I won't name names, for the reasons that follow.
I have loved reading these books, as they provide a plan of what a 'structured' day should look like. However, I refuse to take the advice that the routine should be followed 'to the letter', as they constantly reiterate.
Aria went down for her morning nap at 8:00 (an hour earlier than the suggested time). It's now 9:30 and I can feel the author hissing and cracking out her whip, as she should be down no longer than 45 minutes... She's clearly tired and needs a longer sleep today, so why wake her up?! All I'll get is a cranky baby, and who wants that?
My view on these books is that they are to be taken however you like. They are not to be followed 'to the letter', and you should take hints and tips where you feel they will fit into your baby's own routine.
I've found them great for helping to settle Aria at night, telling me how her screams are actually her 'crying down' and I should leave her to try settle herself. This has been a life saver, and saved us a good hour pacing the floor with her to settle her for the night. There is tonnes of advice that I've been able to apply to our routine, rather than changing it to fit theirs.
The point in this post is not to follow the rules, go with the flow. Your baby will let you know when he/she is tired, hungry, or just wants a cuddle. You'll fall into a pattern that works for you. Don't worry what the book baby is doing, the baby next door, or the babies in your favourite blogs. They each write their own book, so don't worry about following the one on the shelf.
Thanks for reading.

When should we not give people what that want?
Session Details
- Host: Alexandra Almond (LinkedIn)
- Session: 1
- Location: Supper Room
- Attendees: 40
Example of giving people what they want - park & ride
Land-value important key consideration in determining level of parking
- "mega carpark", may be appropriate for low-value sites
- opportunity cost - land value
Introduce user pays - help people realise the costs.
Car stacking
Wider challenges in public transport decision-making
Content majority - don't have a voice. Those in the minority - have a loud voice. E.g Frankston line improvements.
Investing in car orientated infrastructure reinforces car orientated travel behaviour
Sky rail - what right do transport professionals have to make decisions?
- Not having a transport plan that clearly articulates transport priorities
- Educated minority decision-makers carries more weight than uninformed majority?
- Strong and vocal opposition.
- Net positive to society - betterment value capture, houses next to railway - receive compensation.
Communicating transport debates with the public
- Need visionary policy
- Very hard to consult on alternative if community can't imagine the full range of options (e.g bus service or car parking).
- No clear vision and opportunity for people to participate in decision-making.
- Important role for public servants to inform debate on future public transport infrastructure
- need to clearly explain issues
- public are not forced to consider trade-offs in decision-making
- Contradictory public outcomes often sought: walkable city but also wanting parking etc
- Communicating what's been successful overseas
- 20 year vision: politicians don't want to take on / be accountable for decisions 20 years into the future.
- Transport projects used as a political football. Politicians make decisions based on perception of popular vote or opposite of
- Role of social media - easy to complain, unlikely to voice support
What do people think political representatives need to hear from the public?
Session Details
- Host: Georgia Webster (LinkedIn)
- Organisation: Office of Senator Janet Rice
- Session: 2
- Location: Supper Room
Notes from discussion with wider group:
Challenges with current political system:
Politicians need better access to impartial, expert advice
Influence of multi-nationals in decision-making / car lobby strong & influence road-orientated transport system
Time constraints on making complex, highly technical, decisions
Desire for politicians to invest in "legacy projects"
How can we develop more informed public debate?
- Challenge in communicating complexities / dry information to public, e.g need for investment in maintenance of transport networks
- Deep frames guide our decision making (autocratic vs collaborative).
How can we address these issues?
Role of independent bodes, comprised of experts, not aligned with a particular party to develop & support long-term planning.
Need for a Metropolitan level government to better coordinate transport priorities
Need for government to have access to expert advice
Marketing the benefits of long-term planning to the public
What can we do within current constraints to improve PT system, as politicians?
- Politicians need to listen to experts rather than just popular opinion
- Use participatory consultation model
- Understanding why people are making decisions, rather than just what the decisions are
- Finding opportunities to have conversation with community. Share knowledge and expertise in ways to help community to make informed decisions.
- Does attendance of politicians at community consultations help or hinder discussions?
- Public servants not always able to speak out and often prevented from collaborating due to perceived risk
- Sometimes there is a tendency to focus on status quo / easier outcome rather than the best outcome.

Bus networks - patronage growth
Session Details
- Host: Chris Loader (LinkedIn)
- Organisation: Public Transport Victoria
- Session: 3
- Location: Supper Room
Session Notes:
Presentation on growing patronage of bus networks including several case studies from across the Greater Melbourne area.
This approach differed from previous approaches in that change in services were combined network design improvements.
Please contact Chris for a copy of the presentation.
AVs and CVs
Session Details
- Host: Warwick Pattison (Email - email@example.com)
- Session: 4
- Location: Supper Room
Session Notes:
Attractions of AV?
- Reduce human factors in driving
- Inefficient: e.g more productive travel time / rather than driving
- More efficient networks: traffic lights, spacing
- Reduce car ownership
- Car pooling
- Politically attractive
- Equal access to transport for those with mobility issues
- Freeing up workforce to undertake more valuable work (e.g driver replaced by conductor)
- Competition for PT
- Ethical considerations
- Responsibility for crash (AV manufacturer liable notAV driver)
- Over reliance on technology can create vulnerability to bugs / cyber warfare
- Redundancy of employment reliant on car industry (drivers / insurance etc)
- Social issues: cost of AV technology may put it out of reach of many people – perpetuating social disadvantage
Policy issues?
- Should we insist AVs have an override? Or connect with a wider network (e.g Melbourne)?
- Outsourcing ethical problems to car manufacturers?
- What are car park owners thinking (e.g wilsons)
Behavioural science to change travel behaviour
Session Details
- Host: Sean Williams (LinkedIn)
- Organisation: SGS Economics and Planning
- Session: 5
- Location: Supper Room
Session Notes:
Can apply ideas from behavioural science to transport policy. UK nudge unit promoted many behavioural tools that government can use to influence what people do. Tools include: making the desired behaviour easier, framing social norms, making interventions at major life events, disrupting habitual behaviours, using competition to motivate change, gamification and commitments. The off-peak public transport lottery in Singapore is an example of gamification to incentivise travel behaviour change. Another example is Chromaroma promoting active travel in the UK.
From discussion:
There is scope to test ideas (from behavioural science) to see what works. Principles of persuasion mentioned (PhD study by Rita Seethaler). Is it ethical to manipulate people's behaviour? Government and employers shape behaviour anyway e.g. transport infrastructure, car parking. Timing is important – can intervene at times that people are deliberating, we can inform and engage when people are moving home or job. Informing the market can change what the market does – examples from the London Olympics, World Cup and LA road project where forecasting congestion led to commuters changing trip time or mode so the outcome was better than predicted.
How durable are these interventions? Can we form new habits? Provide people with experience of travel alternatives. Events like Ride2Work Day or encouraging people to try an alternative one day a week can be a starting point. Important to understand motivations and evaluate interventions. People's choices are often not rational. Anxiety is an important emotion for the travelling public, e.g. waiting time for bus, train or plane. Can address with timely information, uber does this well with real time map. Frequent services also overcome anxiety.
Thanks to David Wake for his notes
Shark Tank!
Session Details
- Host: Knowles Tivendale (Email - email@example.com)
- Organisation: Phillip Boyle & Associates
- Session: 6
- Location: Supper Room
Session Notes:
- Doncaster Rail – yes, funded!
- Pod cars - Yes, if funding model is proven!
- One card for all travel – yes!
- Recycle / decluttering footpath service – yes
10 minute trains
Session Details
- Host: Eric keys (LinkedIn)
- Session: 1
- Location: Yarra Room
Session Notes:
Eric keys - previously worked as Consultant. currently doing PhD at RMIT.
Background transport consultant now shifting into advocacy.
There is a gap in advocacy. Lots of reactionary advocacy. Eric is focusing on 'modest' project advocacy.
Eric is advocating for 10 minute train service (during off peak)
Modest concept, use existing stock but requires more on costs. Believes there is capacity during offpeak. Believes his can be implemented with relatively low costs.
This is was already in the network development plan for today, why isn't it in place?
10 minute head ways allows people to not worry about timetable. Many benifits, no need for coordination due to high headway.
Allows people to travel outside peaks. Right now if u miss peak u are left with a lower freq service. Shifts travel patterns.
Trains still have people standing duringoff peak- suggests there is demand
Elasticity concept - increased frequency will increase patronage and fare revenue. This is a neutral cost proposition. Suggests it is a very cost effective proposal.cant garuantee self funding but it's still far cheaper than other projects.
end of Eric's presentation---------------
start discussion----
metro finding hard to recruit existing drivers.
Eric - Average train drivers six figure salary. Seems like there would be good demand.
why isn't this being done? Not sure.
Eric spoke to metro and PTV, both want to do this.
Question...how do you get this concept on he political agenda?
Dave - elasticity may not be well understood in offpeak in Melbourne. high car ownership and hard to compete. Low congestion and high convenience. May require a solid robust understanding and modelling.
Eric keys - how much modelling required for some existing decisions e.g. Pso at trains.
dave - depends on decision makers, decisions and leaps of faith on wanting to do the right thing. Although Eric stated some excellent examples where no modelling or business case required.
Eric - discussions on data availability.
Some data available in public domain to suggest strong off peak patronage. Uniform tho some growing more than others. Off peak patronage not monitored so depending on anecdotal or personal experience.
Nora - bus services worse frequency, it's a feeder service, why isn't this a bigger priority?
eric - cost benefit, buses much more expensive.
Despite benefits...idea needs to be sexy - e.g. Signalling isn't
is time right? Maybe - due to renegotiation.
Melbourne in the future
Session Details
- Host: Harry Barber (LinkedIn)
- Organisation: Phillip Boyle & Associates
- Session: 2
- Location: Yarra Room
Session Notes:
Think about living in a city of 10 million in 2051.
What would the city look like? What would put look like? What is a city of 3 million cars look like.
double people - is there double the roads? Then we need significant
some fficiency, longer trains, better cars.
Question about centralisation, regionalisation, and globalisation. Get to a state where there is counter flow.
Tony. startup point. 1950 to now. Double population. If we continue as works most liveable city will make us get to 10mill whether it's 2051, 2061, 2065. We need to focus on heavy rail. Limit inner space means we need to go under?
Jacky City of Yarra. look at other 10mil cities. All network systems. We have radial. We Think all jobs in city but this isn't true. We can't get to a 10mil city unless we get into this network thinking.
Reality Melbourne is low density. Other 10mil are high density around railway station. Will need to adapt or change?
Our existing plans and decision focuses on 'catchup'. We need to embrace new thinking.
Tony - core needs to be bigger . Multiple routes through with a inner network.
Jacky - 3 trillion propping up car industry. Benefits to the industry declining.
El - we can speak about using pt etc. but urban planning needs to change. E.g. Can't keep increasing urban growth boundary. If car continues to be cheapest and fastest option, it won't work.
Value capture. Development tax that allow some (public) transport tobe paid for ? Sydney is doing.
Harry's presentation
historically when there is an issue - we track it statistically to get a better understanding & in order to make better-informed decisions.
Harry suggests we should track a number of key vehicle fleet statistics
If municipalities don't know where they are and where they are heading to? How can they make decisions?
Things to track:
- motorisation rate
- resident vehicle flee
- zero car households
Mat - Planning needs to be independent of politics. For long term public transport planning
E.g. Infrastructure Victoria report with congestion charging. Immediately ruled out by both sides.
Els & Mat - PT planning needs to be interdisciplinary - consistent and evidence based.
Car Spaces in Buildings - Empty Investments?
Session Details
- Host: Harry Barber (LinkedIn)
- Organisation: Phillip Boyle & Associates
- Session: 3
- Location: Yarra Room
Session Notes:
We have developed an understand for external car parks... There are better uses of spaces. Provided a number of car parking buildings being replaced by other building uses.
Number of articles pointing out the following: Car parking is expensive. And they are bolted on to houses. Furthermore they can Have low return - akland st example.
There are empty residential car spaces.
Some are hard to repurpose. Some are easy and people prefer it. Example provided by Harry of unused top floor repurposed as penthouse apartments.
Car parking spaces are 'locked up, can't be used by others and can't be altered for other uses.
Els - why can't you just sell car parking spaces - currently illegal. Can this be changed?
Other concerns - access to car park doesn't provide access to residential building. Body corp concerns. Spaces are used for anything other than cars
Car parking gets closed due to congestion levy. Whole floors locked out. How can these spaces feasibly be repurposed for better uses?
Needful edible options built Into design rather thanMuch more difficult.
Balancing policies that may not necessarily agree with eachother
There needs to be sophisticated parking strategies (local councils, metropolitan areas). Never gets up to that level, mostly revenue raising.
Harry suggests splitting 'storage- >4hr' and 'parking - < 4hr'. Define two strategy.
Council parking - how can they replicate the 'westfields' car parking model
Need to have aim, then integrating things in order to get a parking policy to work.
E.g. Inner Melbourne action plan ... 1 pay by phone app.

On remote Rollrock Island, men go to sea to make their livings--and to catch their wives.
The witch Misskaella knows the way of drawing a girl from the heart of a seal, of luring the beauty out of the beast. And for a price a man may buy himself a lovely sea-wife. He may have and hold and keep her. And he will tell himself that he is her master. But from his first look into those wide, questioning, liquid eyes, he will be just as transformed as she. He will be equally ensnared. And the witch will have her true payment.

Oh. Man. Not at all what I expected. Not even close! I'm still undecided how I feel about this one. Honestly, I didn't like it. It took me forever (in my terms) to finish this book! Not a good sign.
Why didn't I like The Brides of Rollrock Island? Well… It all started with the first 70 pages or so. Could this have been any more confusing? I couldn't keep the characters straight. It was so irritating. My poor brain didn't know what it was reading (and this is not a problem that I typically have). So you can see why I was frustrated, right? If I can't make sense of who is telling the story, then how can I decipher the plot? Ugh. As the book went on, I figured out how things were working so that problem became less of an issue, but it still made for a rough start.
The set up for this book was interesting too. It's told from multiple points of view. Basically, each "chapter" is a new part of the Rollrock Island history that is told from the point of view of a new generation. While it did give an interesting quality to the story, I felt it interfered with the overall story. I could dissect the story further and show some of the positives, but I don't want to go through the effort. You would have to read this book to understand what I was saying anyway. As a piece of literature, I can see some positive qualities, but I personally did not enjoy this book.
I also didn't care for the writing. I know, I know… Yes, it was well written and the descriptions were very detailed. But I am sorry, it felt wordy at times. In fact, I found myself skipping entire pages and finding that I hadn't missed a bit of information. There is something wrong with that. Add that to my initial "problem" with the book, and my attention span is gone. Done. Finis. I have nothing left to give as a reader.
** Not a kid friendly review from this point forward **
Now, add both of those complaints to my gripes with the characters themselves. WTH. The men in this book infuriated me. I have NEVER felt so much disgust and contempt for a group of characters in my life. How am I supposed to buy in that these pervs are so freakin' horny that they are ready to knock boots with anything that pops up naked from the sea? Yeah, that's what's happening… grrrr. And the freak-o that keeps the poor sealwoman in the closest as a sperm depository and then GLOATS about it to his wife and family? Oh, hell no. I shut down right there. I was so disgusted with how quickly these men threw away their individual sense of decency that I couldn't recover. No matter what else I read, I couldn't get past this.
** End non-kid friendly portion **
Of course, the teacher in me is conflicted. While, as a reader, I did not connect with this story, I can see its purpose in a (mature) classroom setting. The setting is phenomenal. The characters are so screwed up that they make the perfect discussion point. The fact that all this sealwomen enchantment started up (again) out of revenge would open the door to a very interesting conversation. Plus, the story being continued through different generations of Rollrock inhabitants gives an unique angle. But, despite my conflicted views, overall I did not like this book. As something I picked up for fun, I did not enjoy my time reading. I finished out of a sense of commitment, not because I was captivated by the story.

Capital expenditure budget/
A capital expenditure budget is a formal plan that states the amounts and timing of fixed asset purchases by an organization. This budget is part of the annual budget used by a firm, which is used to organize activities for the upcoming year. Capital expenditures can involve a wide array of expenditures, including upgrades to existing assets, the construction of new facilities, and equipment required by new hires.
The capital expenditure budget is typically arrived at through an iterative process, where the management team evaluates the rate of return on each proposed project, as well as legal and regulatory requirements and the impact of a project on the bottleneck operation of the business. The amount of fixed assets acquired will also vary based on the activity level projected in the rest of the budget, which in turn will be adjusted to match the expansion capabilities of the organization and the amount of cash flows that will be needed to fund growth.
A capital expenditure budget may span a longer period than the annual budget. The reason is that some larger fixed asset acquisitions involve lengthy construction periods that can greatly exceed one year. In addition, the nature of the business may involve an ongoing series of major construction projects that could extend for up to a decade into the future. For example, a chip fabrication company competes by constructing successively more complex facilities, each requiring up to five years to complete.

ON AIR - The Opinion Line - Repeat
with PJ Coogan
This year, the red carpet was a mix of major hits and serious misses. Here's our top 5 best dressed ladies of the night:
5. Reese Witherspoon
(Source: Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP)
Reese impressed in a simplistic monochrome creation by Tom Ford. So classic. We also love her makeup that warms up the look.
4. Jennifer Aniston
The snubbed best actress nominee looked radiant in a sparkly Versace number. Hair and makeup were kept simple to keep the dress the focal point. We just wish she'd stray away from neutral colours a bit more...but she still looked stunning.
3. Rosemund Pike
(Source: Jason Merritt/Getty Images)
Finally she's done it right! She left it till the last minute to impress us this awards season, and this fitted scarlet gown by Givenchy looks sensational on her. We really like the hair pulled back, too.
2. Dakota Johnson
(Source: Steve Granitz/WireImage)
The girl of the moment continued her streak in this stunning Saint Laurent creation. The embellished shoulder detail is beautiful, and she kept accessories simple. So chic!
1. Emma Stone
How does she always get it so right? We are awestruck by the beauty of this lime green number by Elie Saab. She looks absolutely divine in this colour, and the coral pop on her lips really pulls everything together. Sheer perfection.
Who was your best dressed at the 87th Academy Awards? Let us know!

Calling all plumbers and hedgehogs. Calling all warriors and hunters. Calling all warlocks and elders. Calling all paladins and chosen ones. Calling all campers and rangers. Calling all talking animals, snarky sidekicks and emotional AI. Calling all gamers–
Recently at ESL One, AT&T launched Great Game, a campaign to combat the toxicity that has become so prevalent within the online gaming world.
#GG (Good Game) has always been a popular mantra to end matches in several different games, including StarCraft and Counter-Strike. But we're taking it a step further by encouraging all gamers – professional and amateur – to use #GreatGame. You can commend other players on a game well played and promote a positive gaming environment. Who doesn't want to do that?
We're asking you to rally with us to find secrets together, to defeat bosses, storm castles, cross the finish line, and get the legendary ending together. We're asking you not to just comment on a game well played, but to create one.
Be a role model and celebrate your fellow good sports by using #GreatGame in social and gaming chats.
As we elevate the gaming experience through our technology, our #GreatGame campaign aims to elevate the gaming experience by encouraging good sportsmanship. Toxicity is all too common in video games. In fact, 57% of people participating in a survey by Ditch the Label reported they have been bullied during their gaming experience.
But what if instead, we exchanged tactics and war stories and Easter eggs. What if a group of strangers with nothing in common but a common digital enemy chose to learn from one another instead of destroying one another? What if people from all walks of life, from all corners of the world, found this game, this server, and this moment, to enrich each other?
As a company, Great Game continues our mission to promote the responsible use of technology, including It Can Wait launched in 2010 to help end texting and driving, and Later Haters launched in 2016 to encourage teens to spread positive messages online.
Join us as we "press start" on a new beginning. To try to make gaming bigger than ever. More accessible than ever. More fun than ever. To join the battlefield as friendly rivals, not bitter enemies.
Don't just find your #GreatGame. Make one.
