if you want to destroy my sweater
While on the way home from school, Weezer's "Sweater Song" came on the radio, and Z was intrigued. "Can you really destroy a sweater like that?" Not being a knitter, I don't know the answer, but I said you could definitely do some damage. Then we brainstormed other ways to destroy a sweater. Here are … Continue reading

It's that time of year when many cabin fevered fishermen will start fishing for stripers hoping to jump start the season, get ahead of the crowd and catch the first one. I'm guessing there are those who are trying along the oceanfront right now. Here's a breakdown of when I have gotten the first ones in the last three years. In 2009, it happened on April 24, in 2011, it was on April 11 and last year, 2011, I got my first ones on April 20. Traditionally, the average start along the south shore oceanfront seems to be around the third week in April.
But, this is not an average year. We are coming off the warmest winter ever, water temperatures are above normal and the current weather is a month ahead of schedule. So, how will that affect this year's fishing? I fully expect to see an early start. If I had to bet, I would say that week from April 8-15 should be it provided the weather remains warm. Things could even happen earlier from the last few days of March until the first week in April. We've never seen big numbers of schoolies in March and I don't think it will happen this year. It can be warm in March, but hey, it's still March.
Expect that fishing will light up in the Bay as well as along the south shore at about the same time.

Oh what a lovely home!
What a bargain on the living room furniture. I love the shadowbox.
Thanks for sharing.

Everything about her home puts a big, huge smile on my face!
Lydia! Darling home and your tastes in decorating are fantastic!
You looked like you stepped out of a 1950s fashion plate! Beautiful!
Lydia! Your house is absolutely fantastic! I don't think I could pick one thing that I like the most about it, you've got it done up so perfectly!
So gorgeous. It's hard to decide, but I think I love the kitchen best of all! I love the sink and those green handles and…
Thank you everyone for your kind comments. I am thinking of painting the living room walls. They are white now. I would like pink but since i am married i have to compromise. Any suggestions? Thanks Lydia
What an amazing home you have Lydia! I particularly love your living room! That fabric on your living room set looks to be in fantastic shape which is SO hard to find anymore. Great finds!
I think pink would be a really great choice to go against the color of your living room furniture, but if you had to make another choice maybe you could think about chartreuse green??? Maybe???
Hi Sara
I agree i think green will look amazing. Paint gives me anxiety I am never happy with the shade I choose. I guess I will be getting lots of samples. Also next on my list will be curtains.-
Lydia….. I know what you mean about having problems picking paint colors – we had some paint color issues when we had to pick out paint colors for my Mom's retro condo!
Definitely get lots of samples!!! You also might want to check out the Sherwin Williams Suburban Modern collection, as they have some nice vintage colors in there. Here is a link.They have a chartreuse green color in that collection and Ruth actually used that exact color in her hallway – you can see it in her post here.
I think that color would look spectacular in your living room!!!
What a fabulous house!! And she looks great as well!
This house and the furniture is amazing!!! I love the blue velvety looking chair by the staircase. My dream is to find and buy a time capsule from the 1960's and live in mod heaven or buy an adorable cape cod from the 40's and live like an old Hollywood movie star!

Old World charm: Crimson's American-eclectic cuisine features an eye to presentation and proportion.
Crimson in Clover
Los Gatos' new bistro takes a modern approach to rustic fare
By Aaron Robinson
CRIMSON, a new bistro-style restaurant in Los Gatos, is a recent venture for Diane Rose, the former executive chef and co-owner of the Cal-Ital trattoria chain Mio Vicino. Adorned with Old World charm, Crimson features American-eclectic cuisine that aims to be more upscale than its trattoria forerunner.
Navigating our way to the restaurant was easier than I anticipated, considering its size and location (nestled among dissimilar businesses in the Los Gatos Village Square). We arrived to a welcome of genuine smiles and were gracefully seated at a table by the window overlooking Crimson's attractive outdoor patio.
Our hyperefficient, well-informed server approached us and described the specials of the evening in delectable detail. He suggested refreshment from Crimson's limited beer and wine list, which consisted mainly of Santa Cruz, Monterey and Carmel Valley standards. Two glasses of the Au Bon Climat Pinot Gris ($6.25) were delivered, followed by soft, room-temperature ciabatta and bread sticks with a savory garlic whipped butter.
We began to peruse Crimson's beautifully read menu. Stilton and sage-stuffed portobello cap with grilled polenta, Marsala cream and pine nuts ($9), truffled beet salad with frisée chop, snap peas, caciotta dei boschi and white truffle oil ($10), and Chilean sea bass in coconut milk and chile marinade over braised bok choy and soba noodles ($25) were just a few of Crimson's mouth-watering enticements.
Finally, we agreed on a first course: crab, white corn and asparagus soup ($7). The magical combination of shredded crab, diced asparagus and whole corn kernels offered a robust alternative to your conventional garnished purée, but the dish was too salty. Our second starter was the seared ahi salad with broccoli stem slaw, mung-bean sprouts, edamame and ginger-sesame dressing ($14). The ahi was peppered and seared to perfection, but the dressing was bland and oily with little to no hint of ginger.
Before embarking on our eagerly anticipated entrees, we felt obligated to investigate the appetizer list further. The seared foie gras with sea scallop and caramelized onion-citrus reduction ($16) sounded promising. Again, the foie gras and scallops were properly seared to temperature, but the marshlike presentation made the caramelized onion-citrus reduction look oily and unappetizing. My palate agreed. The only contrasting texture was the frisée in the middle of the plate acting as a sponge.
Seconds after the foie gras was cleared, our entrees arrived. I was presented with an intimidating portion of the braised pork ($20) with lingonberry-pinot noir reduction, roasted potatoes and organic vegetables consisting of Swiss chard, roasted red beets and overcooked asparagus. The pork was fork-tender and delicious. The aromatic lingonberries gave the sauce an unobtrusive tart fruitiness, yielding an essence of clove. The roasted potatoes were crunchy and herbaceous. I felt the dish really come together as I sipped the David Bruce Pinot Noir ($11.25).
My companion had the highly recommended pan-seared grouper special ($25), paired with the Spottswoode Sauvignon Blanc ($12). The grouper was wrapped in jamon-serrano and served over a black-eyed pea relish--the most well presented and proportioned of any dish we had received so far. The composition of moist, delicate fish contrasting slightly salty, crisp Spanish ham and rich, earthy black-eyed pea relish pledged Crimson's potential.
Sated, we nevertheless could not resist the dessert menu. We selected the Fondue for Two, a ceramic pot full of lukewarm dark chocolate atop a little candle with quartered strawberries and Rice Krispy treats. I would have appreciated a greater variety of dipping confections, but it was a pleasant concept.
Those who appreciate large portions of rustic, simple fare and don't mind paying lavish prices may enjoy what Crimson has to offer. Though I felt the meal was fraught with possibility, I left with my expectations unfulfilled.

Quote:Perhaps the OSM needs its participants to think about things by themselves. What good would an extra moderator do?
Quote:Quote:Perhaps the OSM needs its participants to think about things by themselves. What good would an extra moderator do? Why is everyone praising this statement?
Quote:However I agree that Corribus would be best there. Sadly, he doesn't want to.
Quote:Here's how I think a moderation policy should be formulated: (1) IÆd be fairly open to salty language and bickering. ThereÆs a clear difference between barbs, taunts and even insults on the one hand and outright hostility, threats and abusive language on the other. IÆd probably let a lot slide before I issued warnings, but once warnings were ignored thereÆd be hell to pay. (2) Threads would need to stay generally on topic, and IÆd do my best to keep them that way. In cases where tangents were being discussed at length and interrupting the main thread, IÆd encourage people to start new threads (or start them myself), but I think people here are pretty good about that anyway. (3) IÆd be present every day that I could be. If I found my time (or interest) dwindling, IÆd voluntarily retire. (4) IÆd have an open door for complaints and feedback. However, after consideration of requests for re-evaluation, decisions would be final. I would kindly ask that further complaints on the matter be kept to HCM. (5) I would issue more QPs to deserving posts and would encourage recommendations. (6) I would push hard for a unified moderation policy. (7) I would set out guidelines for good posting etiquette and sticky them. These would not be rules but I would do my best to get people to adhere to them. (8) Consistently troublesome users would be banned. No second chances. And ōtroublesomeö would not be restricted to overt violations of the code of conduct. Ah, well. ItÆs sort of a moot point, though, because without admin support there will be no new mods and this place will just continue sinking down into the rectum of the internet.
Quote:I, for one, understand that the OSM team have been hard pressed to manage everything, everyday, day after day. And I don't even read OSM, so I honestly can't judge the job they do there (nor have I any intention of doing it). But I think people could do well in considering the amount of job necessary in moderating a place like OSM, and help however they can (which is not so much in telling other members how to act but by pointing mods to things that need fixing).
Quote: IÆve seen a few people here claim that an OSM moderator should be someone who doesnÆt post in the OSM. I disagree. IÆve also seen a lot about a moderator needing to be ōunbiasedö. Well, I disagree with that as well, to some extent. We would all do well to realize an important point: This is NOT a democracy. I see nowhere in HCÆs charter that everyone is entitled to express their opinion, or that every opinion needs to have equal opportunity for expression. I think a variety of opinions is a nice thing, and itÆs admittedly a real draw of this place. But killing HC for the sake of equality seems pointless to my mind.

During the cortina? What, before the music for the next tanda has started to play? Such practice was more-or-less condemned here a few days ago as being an abomination, only for those so vulgar as not to care what they danced to. Hmm.
I must say that I use the cabeceo wherever I possibly can. It seems to me that there's a sliding scale between your basic blink-and-you-miss-it Buenos Aires cabeceo, via the yes-I-am-really-looking-at-you-nod-nod-nod British version, all the way up to mouthing would-you-like-to-dance and gesturing towards the dance floor in places where nobody's familiar with the cabeceo. Milongas then seem to naturally move along this sliding scale in the rough direction of the Buenos Aires end (a curious mixture of the super-subtle and yet completely unmistakeable). I don't think I know anywhere that has moved in the other direction along this sliding scale -- so my guess is that when people get used to the idea, they tend to discover it works for them.
The milongas jantango referes to most likely had a commonly known play list. These milongueros only showed up for specific tandas at a certain time. They never used to dance to other music than they had already done to a hundred times before in the same way.
It's difficult describing the milonga atmosphere of Buenos Aires to those who have never been here. There are 200 dancers on a Sunday at Lo de Celia. It's like being at the theater with a new scene every ten minutes. People are observing who arrived, who is going out to smoke, who is dancing with whom, and where a particular person is seated with whom you want to dance, etc. The tanda begins. Is it tango, vals or milonga? What orchestra? Do I want to dance this tanda? With whom do I want to dance? Is he/she looking my way? Shall I wait or look at another? There is a mental process. It's not just about getting on the floor to be seen.
What is the reason the head movement replaced the verbal invitation at Buenos Aires dances in the early 1940s? To avoid public embarrassment when a girl's mother or other female escort refused to allow her to dance with someone. Let's not forget that all the men were standing in the middle of the floor, not seated at tables. All saw the rejection when he returned to the center. Later, the men invited with a head movement or movement of the lips (bailas?) in the direction of the intended partner and no one knew who was refused. The head movement is subtle. No one can see who the man has invited until they are together on the edge of the floor. It's a mutual agreement. It does not obligate anyone as the verbal invitation does, which usually results in an unpleasant situation.
So this is just a matter of being alert, and giving some attention to the people in the room during the cortina? Perhaps we can be identifying potential partners (who is here and where are they in the room), rather than actually getting the mirada/cabeceo underway? It is during the cortina that I am assessing the prospects for the next tanda. If a group of followers are deep in conversation at this point, I assume that they have come to chat, not to dance. And by and large, I observe that they don't dance much.
Something similar happened to my husband. He was at a milonga and didn't feel like dancing so he was looking at his phone. A woman he was not interested in dancing with was standing nearby, staring at him. He saw her out of the corner of his eye and refused to look. Finally, she walked over and tapped him on the shoulder and said rather obnoxiously, "Excuse me, but I've been trying to cabaceo you and you won't look up!" He said no. Oy. The cabaceo means nothing if you don't respect the whole process. What is much more valuable than whether you ask with your eyes vs. your mouth is watching body language. If a person won't look at you, don't ask them unless you know for a fact they like dancing with you and are just being obtuse. How hard is that?
Something like this occurs when there are different ways of asking for a dance at the same venue. For example, some people who ask directly, others use cabaceo, and others use chit chat before asking. You won't know which the person is using and responsive to unless you ask directly or chit chat because the cabaceo just looks like the person isn't aware of what's going on around him/her. But this is if you don't know the person. For people you do know, there won't be any misunderstanding since you'll know how the ask and respond.
Well, I may as well love dancing with him, but am not looking at him at a particular moment, and not because I've been obtuse. Perhaps I am in the middle of something with my friend or don't care for the music that's playing, or want to cool down and watch my favorite couple on the floor, or a certain orchestra is playing, and I know it is not working for me with him, but perfectly working for me with some other person... in brief, I prefer not to dance with him at this very moment, so I am not looking at him. He may as well get a similar feeling toward me in his own time (even though I know for a fact he adores dancing with me), and I understand and respect that. So if he is not looking at me, it is perfectly fine, I will wait when the moment is right for both of us.
I don't know if Erdemsel has danced at a milonga in BsAs. His video is useful for men to a point. What he shows what may occur at festivals, but not what is done in BsAs. This eye contact is something we all do in daily life when crossing a street or merging with traffic on the road. Men position themselves on the edge or corner of the floor to protect the woman from on-coming traffic as she enters the floor. They don't make eye contact with the men in the rear. They merge gently among others on the floor. When it's a couple entering together, the woman goes first and positions herself just in front of the tables on the edge of the floor with her back to the wall. The man joins her and facing the wall, waiting for space to enter the flow of traffic on the floor to the left. Awareness is what it's about. There is no nodding being done. Erdemsel has a good idea which may even result in better floorcraft and use of the cabeceo.
Some (but probably less then half) of the leaders use the technique that Erdemsel demostrated at milongas in the US that I have frequented.
I was told this by a guy who dances frequently in BsAs; he said it was a common practice but not mentioned outside BsAs. I can see the sense in it, making eye-contact with other road users before yo join the traffic so to speak.

Presents for people who don't want 'things'
(64 Posts)I'd love to hear your suggestions, as nearly everyone I buy for is in this category now, mostly adults over 40.
Charity gifts/ goats etc are always a possibility, but please add your other ideas!
So far I have come up with:
Magazine subscription.
( eg this new cycling mag on special offer, 3 issues for £5)
Theatre vouchers
National Art pass
Cookery course
Food foraging course
I read somewhere recently that it is experiences we treasure into old age, not things. A meal out, trip to the theatre, day at the races.....
Experiences are best I think but photo books go down well in our family - great for special occasions.
We often make up our own hampers too - home made lemon curd, jams etc.
I'd say an experience day. You used to be able to buy a voucher in Argos or boots from about £50 to £300 depending on the experience. If I remember rightly it varied from one day candle/ jewellery making or art & craft day, to massages or balloon rides or even helicopter/flight lesson etc.
Sorry, but I want experiences even less than I want things, unless you know me very well indeed and preferably have checked with me beforehand - I have more than once past been given vouchers for experiences that I wouldn't want to do and it is really embarrassing to deal with, at least with unwanted objects you can discreetly charity shop them. Magazine subscriptions if agreed in advance, but I don't read many now (send more time on here instead).
Vouchers and edibles all the way here. No to candles and smellies either <ungrateful>
By experiences, I didn't mean those packages you can buy. I meant a promise of something that would be an experience. For example, I have bought my family theatre tickets and we are buying MiL a trip somewhere she has always wanted to go (Barra!). For my DH's 50th, he was given a trip away. I paid, the children agreed we could go, granny babysat.
Another 50th gift he got was a meal out with friends to an amazing restaurant.
These would, clearly, rely on knowing the person well. But then I don't tend to buy Christmas presents for strangers, or acquaintances.
yes, edibles are a good option - but no-one wants sweets or chocolates or biscuits because they are trying not to put on weight. I do buy a lot of bottles of various kinds, oils, fancy vinegars, local wine and champagne, but half the family don't drink, and don't really do much experimental cooking.
National Trust annual membership
Leisure centre/Gym membership
if for youngsters: term of swimming lessons, piano, ballet, whatever
Cinema gift card?
cinema is a good one for a family
other things I've remembered giving in previous years:
graze box for 3 or 6 months, or a voucher
annual membership to a nearby place, eg Kew Gardens
Time Out guide to restaurants, or pub guides
My family are all keen on edibles, we all love to cook and like a nice bottle of wine or some chocolates for Christmas.
What's a graze box?
not had it myself, but a work colleague subscribes
Do you have to buy something? I have bluntly told all of my friends that now we have families the presents stop and everyone was relieved.
What we do is go out together for a dessert to "celebrate" christmas.
These are family, mostly BIL and SIls and my aunt, all very lovely people, scattered all over the UK and busy with their own lives and families, so taking them out for a meal (etc) won't really work as a gift, but there is a firmly established tradition of gift giving.
for example SIL and her husband do not want a photo book of our DC because they have their own DC, fond though we are of each other and our respective children, and it is always very enjoyable to get together.
Cinema vouchers good <just seen already done - doh>
Find out who their babysitters are and are arrange a payment and they can set up a date between them?
Trip to the local panto if not too £££
Arrange a meal for the family to get together on a date that isn't xmas?
how about adopting an animal either with wwf or through a nearby zoo?
the graze boxes are lovely, i get one every week and its a nice treat
I like your ideas Champagnesupernova.
(my SIL's DC are teenagers but it would work well for younger children).
Wine glasses - because who has a full set
Socks - I like comedy ones - it's the thought that counts.(it's now become an expectation)
A nice bread board - so you can go all Jamie Oliver when entertaining.
Or depending how zany your friends are, a massive Nerf gun.
Nice wine or champagne works well for a lot of people. It's a little boring but it is something nearly everybody enjoys.
I like the Arts pass/national trust ideas.
What about tickets to a sporting event?
If they live near a theatre can you pay for priority membership. Eg The National Theatre
Can you suggest not getting each other presents and just doing something nice together when you get to see each other in person?
Thinking about this a bit more, because I know I am in this category and hard to buy for. We are at the stage of being in our 40s and having "everything we need" but we have quite a lot of stuff that is old and could do with replacing. The wineglasses suggestion made me think of this. We actually have lots of those, but would love to replace various old worn out kitchen things - a lot of our house stuff is 15+ years old but because the ones we have are sort of adequate we never seem to get round to it. Why not ask if your relatives have anything they would like replacing with a newer set of? Pans, crockery etc perhaps. Or money towards updating furniture, rugs, curtains etc? Then the old stuff can be charity shopped so no net gain of clutter.
What about a year's membership for tastecard? Sorry! I'm new and not figured out how to link but it is a card that gives you 50% off certain restaurants in the uk.
these are great ideas, especially the 'replace/upgrade' idea.
On Reastie's excellent bargains thread she has mentioned the spicery which I may well be using this year.
Just as a matter of interest WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes (one of my favourite songs, btw), do you like fancy soaps, hand cream, that sort of thing?
Yes and no! I like bars of soap and handcreams, but bubble baths, liquid soaps and most shower gels aggravate my eczema and I can't use them. Vouchers for Lush, Boots, Body Shop are most welcome so I can buy things I know will be gentle for my skin.
Re the upgrading - need to be careful when offering in case the person thinks you are saying their stuff is scruffy! Definitely don't suggest specific things in case it is their most treasured possession. This would actually work better when you don't seem them regularly as they know you can't be commenting on the state of their crockery!

There Was No Girl As Bold As You: The Overlooked Legacy Of Natalie Merchant And 10,000 Maniacs
Comments from unheard78
Thanks for reading and responding so quickly, Michael. The extra points you made here about Apple's interests are what I really appreciate. We can agree to disagree about Cohen, but I have to go with my heart and hate his rich guts, regardless of his time in the industry. As for the HDCP issues, I've never dealt with anything like that, though my HDMI setups are rather simple. I also guess I've gotten lucky with cheaper Apple cables and stuff. As for your lightning port dying though, damn! That's a serious hard break. And I don't blame you for looking elsewhere. I thought about it before upgrading to the 6s, but I decided I'd spent too much on apps and such over the years to buy them all over again for an Android. Thanks again for reading and responding. I love your perspective and really enjoy digging into a conversation on topics like these.

No Control: Thoughts On The End Of The Headphone Jack And The Future Of Digital Music
Great article, Michael, and a great series of articles, but I feel like this isn't nearly as much a slam dunk argument as some of your other writings. I have some thoughts, and they won't be nearly as eloquent, researched, or lengthy as yours, but I'm going to share them regardless. For starts, why quote Lyor Cohen for anything? Sure, he's Jay Z's mentor, but he's Chuck D's enemy, and by that rationale, probably the enemy of most of the music buying public. He's calling Steve Jobs a bully? The guy who went to Warner Bros., laid off a ton of employees, gave himself a massive raise, and most recently was mocked for trying to tell a successful musician, that being Young Thug, that he needed to write "songs"? I'll never speak of Jobs in purple prose alone, but I have very little positive to say about Cohen, a bully since his time at Def Jam and renown for being Russell Simmons' pitbull since he was less interested in running his business than screwing models. But none of this is really important to the real matters at hand. Why does it matter if Apple wants to remove their headphone jack? They'll likely include the adapter, and of course they want you to buy their headphones, they own the biggest name in headphones on the market. None of this should be a surprise. If we don't like it, we can go buy a Samsung or another Android device. But Apple has never really left their customers out in the cold, they've always provided backwards compatibility among other aids. And why would they stop now? I'd assume there is going to be some kind of half and half feature on all their future Beats devices from here out, either headphone jack to lightning adapter, or the other way around. But this won't be the end of the headphone jack, just the end of the headphone jack on the iPhone, mostly because they want it to be thinner and with stereo speakers. Furthermore, what of DRM? You were the first to note the workarounds always happen, and this won't be an exception. Secondly, what kind of DRM can they exactly put in place if you have an adapter? Can't you just plug that in and reopen the analog hole? And won't there be companies making unauthorized adapters just like there are now making unauthorized lightning cables, old-school iPhone, iPad and iPod pin cables, as well as cables for every kind of Android device you can think of, all being sold ridiculously cheap by comparison to the brand name goods? No one will pay $40 or $50 when they can pay $5 to $10 at their local gas station. Finally, regarding the comment from Pandora's Herring about the evisceration of the music business, who was he fooling? The music business mortally wounded itself. Jobs' bringing iTunes to the front was a good thing for the labels, along with Amazon and other retailers going digital. Before that, albums were being leaked, sales were down, a ream of blank CD-Rs and a burner was cheaper than buying the next five or six hot albums to drop. Labels were spending money like they could burn it if it got too cold in their offices, and it was their own fault! iTunes and all the other digital retailers put money back in their pockets and cost them much less than physical distribution ever could. So the digital retailers cut themselves sweet deals in the process? Like the labels hadn't been doing that for years? And streaming companies saying a digital retailer killed the industry? Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black? Spotify is the big fish and they can't make a profit. If that's the case, how is Pandora doing? And if Apple can make a profit and focus on their core of users, how is that wrong? Samsung and Google are trying similar things. Are only the old-school crooks allowed to make a killing? In the end, the music industry is a mess, and it's painful to watch it get messier and weirder, stinking with desperation to get back to the days when they could charge prostitutes to the company accounts without question while cutting funding for the band they just signed because they don't hear a hit. Apple's actions scare me much less than a Lyor Cohen, someone making statements like they've got the utmost respect and sanctity for the business they've spent decades destroying. Thanks for letting my go off there. Keep up the good work and I'll keep reading it. It's always a pleasure.

No Control: Thoughts On The End Of The Headphone Jack And The Future Of Digital Music
Okay, I will confirm, Lil Yachty DOES suck. If you enjoy his "music", that is fine, and he can be entertaining at times, but he is the extreme of extremeties when it comes to this happy happy, joy joy mixtape business. Anyone can make a mixtape now, let alone an album, and just because you get a co-sign because you're a nice guy or support other artists doesn't mean it's worth listening to your stuff. We've seen French Montana mocked for his intense mediocrity, yet he still gets hyped no matter how midling his tracks are, even if it's only for whomever is on the track with him. Yachty is annoying like a bad rash, and while you can giggle along with how silly a track like Minnesota is, his raps, kinda funny or not, are ridiculously weak, especially compared to Thugger's verse. I enjoy some Future stuff, though I think he's burning out. I can't understand a lot of what Young Thug is saying, but I genuinely like his tracks. Chance can rap his ass off, and that's all there is to it. Daveed Diggs can destroy just about any rapper's verse and he's been on Broadway. Yachty, he just sucks. Sorry man, that's just how it is. Commence downvoting.

Does Lil Yachty Suck?
There is a bootleg tape of Prince rehearsing with his Lovesexy-era band that starts with him talking to the band about how incredibly funny Al's video for Fat is and how impressed he is with Al's work. He also notes that he'll never let him do it to him, he'd be afraid he'd hit home way too closely. So, I don't think Prince hated him or whatever, I think it was more about his social-weirdness and not wanting to be parodied.

Weird Al Laments "Decades Of Weirdness" With Prince
Tidal and When The Pawn are both great albums, but the Extraordinary Machine bootleg and Idler Wheel are so good. Still, the best moments on Tidal are the ones where it doesn't sound like they grafted a band onto the track. Sleep To Dream is great, and Criminal is still good, but The First Taste is like artificial Latin-groove 101. Favorite song on Tidal is Sullen Girl. Yeah, the one about being raped. It's mind-blowingly powerful.

We've Passed Peak Vinyl – Here Comes The Collapse
There is a theory on reddit that there will be a release on June 2nd, or at the worst, June 26th, but June 2nd makes more sense since they have their first live show in years the next day if I'm not mistaken. I'm fair to bet it could be a full album or just the Frankie Sinatra single, but with their putting a different song on the hotline than the one they shot a video for, it makes me think we might just get that whole album. I have so many questions, and it's nice to know we might get some answers sooner than later.

The Avalanches Tease New Song "Subways" Via Hotline
My mother-in-law likes Nickelback, thinks they're great. She also likes Adele, thinks she's amazing. Neither do a damn thing for me and never will, BUT... she was a groupie in the sixties and seventies and followed the Velvet Underground and David Bowie all over the US. She's got great taste in "classic" rock and has a wicked sense of humor. So, I'll forgive her mistakes of loving Nickelback and Adele because I'm simply blessed to have her in my life. If I occasionally have to hear Nickelback's Rock Star or anything by Adele because of this, I can see past it.

Nickelback Won The '90s Culture War
Great article! I'd never seen the original back/inlay for Makaveli nor was I aware it existed, but I'm not surprised it does. That said, two interesting details you left out. 1) If Suge had his way, Chronic 2000 would have included songs left off of the original Chronic. It's possible it could've included unreleased Snoop and Rage tracks that Dre had produced too, but that's not clear. What is certain though is that part of Dre's legal attack on Death Row was because of these unreleased tracks. I don't know what tracks could have been up for consideration, but Mr. Officer and The Ho-Hopper would be likely contenders, as well as the original version of The Next Episode which was intended for Doggystyle but was left off at the last minute for unclear reasons. 2) Hammer's album for Death Row was finished and could've been released. It was named Too Tight, featured several tracks with 2Pac though it wasn't a Hammer/2Pac album as some have labeled it, and it was laughably bad, with Hammer talking about being a god-fearing man, trying to do the right thing, all the while bragging about grabbing your girl at the party and running shop. Promo CDs were pressed, albeit most likely in very small numbers. You can find pictures and a track list on Discogs. Lastly, a question for the people bootlegging 2Pac's tapes from the Death Row vaults, if you got all that stuff and it eventually surfaced in excellent quality, why haven't the other unreleased Dre, Snoop and Rage tracks from the Death Row years shown up in better quality or appear at all? It doesn't look like much of that stuff will ever get released, what with the Death Row catalog in such perilous status (I believe eOne holds the catalog now, but that doesn't mean they control it outright). The Chronic and Doggystyle are deserving of the deluxe reissue treatment as much as any other classics albums, so it's just wrong to watch them collect dust as crappy re-pressings.

Go ahead and hate me, but 3121 and Musicology are retreads of his formulas, but they're good retreads. The Gold Experience has some genuinely great moments, but I think it's too overproduced in places, especially on Gold. Emancipation is too long, but there is so much incredible material on it, and it should be mentioned alongside the rest of his highlights. The Symbol Album, while kinda dated, is also excellent, brimming with imagination and twists. And Lovesexy is good, but I'm more about the Black Album. As a die-hard Prince fan, I'll say that Purple Rain is chock full of great songs, but I kinda never want to hear it's namesake song ever again. It wasn't my favorite song to begin with, and now it just hurts. Instead, I'm hoping we finally get an official release of the full length version of Computer Blue, maybe on a 12"!

Great article. Few small comments. 1) I bought 2 copies of the deluxe CD of E•MO•TION, though I gave one away. Yeah, I like it. 2) Anyone been having problems with the mobile site redirecting to some BS clickbait lately? 3) Piracy means way more than sales, but since it's not a legitimate business it will never be counted and only looked at as theft, which is missing the point. 4) Can someone beat the industry heads half-to-death with articles like these so they'll understand the crap they're doing? What's the point in running a profitable business if you do everything in your power to not make it optimally profitable?

Don't believe the Prince being hopped on coke and LSD thing, as everyone around him has constantly reinforced how straight he was about drugs, but I believe he could have fooled around with some guys. It wouldn't surprise me. And regarding the stories of Prince's "boundless" sexual energy, yeah, it's pretty played up. He wants to give off that vibe of course, but when it came to anyone who could show him up (read: Vanity), he ended up cutting ties with them.

I bought a copy of N.W.A.'s Greatest Hits years ago that had a techno record on it instead of proto-gangsta rap. Never figured out who it was, and returned it to Best Buy the next day as it wasn't of any interest to me. And speaking of that Skinny Puppy CD, bought a copy of that mispress from a friend. Was funny to find that it didn't want to play all the way through. I guess a mispress can be more than just the music.

I've seen a lot of mixtapes that were better than the albums the artists in question later put out. Mixtapes from focused artists are usually more in vein with what they want their albums to be, whereas those albums end up being major label curated messes, or at least nowhere near as awesome as the earlier mixtapes. Action Bronson comes to mind, where as great as Mr. Wonderful is, and it really is great, both of the Blue Chips mixtapes and the Rare Chandeliers tape are much better. Wayne's No Ceilings comes to mind too, being better than Carter IV and much of anything he's put out since. It's dated to mention it, but Das Racist's first mixtape is way better than their album, and that album is by no means bad, but it feels tamed compared to Shut Up, Dude. I'm sure other people can keep the list going.

By your mention of Dick, here are a few suggestions that come to mind. PKD's Ubik is a hell of an interesting read, and one that could draw a lot of interesting responses. PKD's The King Of The Elves is a really short story, but it makes me smile all over in a way his books usually never do. Vonnegut's God Bless You Mr. Rosewater will confuse and entertain, and then let the members of your book club know that Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, the duo that brought Little Shop Of Horrors to the stage, intended the same for Rosewater and almost got there. Uh, everyone has probably read this one, but it's a favorite, especially when it comes to post-apocalyptic hoodoo... Stephen King's The Stand still really holds up. I prefer the "uncut" version, but honestly, both are equally entertaining and engrossing.

"Sequel, Of Sorts" Will Reportedly Focus On Snoop Dogg, Tupac
Oh yeah, remember that time Dre rapped for someone to get in his pickup and suck his dick up until they hiccup? Or that song N.W.A. had about not biting "it"? Or when Cube talked about violence towards Korean shop owners? Or when Eazy rapped about "clocking" a "ho" and pulling out her "nappy-ass weave"? Have we really forgotten all of these things? I love Dre, Cube and Eazy, but let's not act like we didn't know that they weren't angels. I think some of that was definitely for show, but you can't say it and then act like it didn't happen. And as Maurice noted, the aforementioned "Bitches Ain't Shit". None of this changes how I feel about Dre or N.W.A., as I'm fully aware of these things, but it certainly doesn't mean what they did was right. It's similar to how people praise 2Pac despite all the shitty, awful things he did, and he did some REALLY AWFUL THINGS.

Dee Barnes Reflects On
Straight Outta Compton
, Dr. Dre Assault
Has everyone forgotten when Em called out Dre in Guilty Conscience? But in all seriousness, I've known about this for years and I know it's terrible, but something about this also smacks of opportunism. What has Dee Barnes been doing for years? Now she gets the chance to jump back in the media, and while it is true what happened, it all seems so convenient. It's also really easy for her to blame Dre for all that happened to her, when it could go back to her program and efforts being a relic of an earlier time. What happened to most of those other hosts that weren't on major networks and such? As for Michel'le, all I can say is she was married to Suge Knight. Perhaps she should also be noted for having made bad decisions. And before anyone downvotes the hell out of me, Dre was wrong to hit Dee and Michel'le, no question. I hate violence against women and violence against anyone. Taking the opportunity to profit on someone's mistakes though, I don't care for that either. If Dee's career was truly destroyed by the events in question, rather than a number of other factors, that is truly awful. But I simply question the true motivations here. Why aren't they in the movie? Why aren't Jimmy Z, Colin Wolfe and Greg Royal not mentioned in the movie? Because they weren't members of N.W.A., that's why.

Ugh, indeed.

Geez, these conspiracy theorists give us true believers a bad name. Oh yeah, Paul is dead too, but that's a clone performing so he's still alive as well.

As for Emanuel, I just don't have anything positive to say about him, but I'm not trying to start a political argument so I'll leave it there.

Ghostface Killah To Action Bronson: "Who Gives You The Right To Even Mention My Name?"
What happens next? Are Nas and Your Old Droog going to sit down and discuss who owns Nas' voice and if there are licensing restrictions? Ghost, get over yourself. You can't publicly say you're okay with someone and when they make an innocent comment get all holier-than-thou on them. I don't think Bronson is right that he is "not rapping like this no more", but I don't think that's a diss or anything. Seriously, if we're going to talk about bad things Bronson has done, this wouldn't even make the list. Is Ghost just mad he's not on a major any more or getting hype like he used to? I love Ghost and I love Bronson, and none of this is gonna change any of that. Ghost needs to calm down though. This isn't Ghost vs. 50 Cent, this ain't Wu-Tang vs. Bad Boy, this isn't even KRS-One vs. PM Dawn (look it up for a laugh). Just accept that some people have voices and sometimes they can somewhat resemble each others. I've never mistaken Bronson's raps for Ghost's beyond a brief moment of "hey, doesn't he sound like...?". Hell, I had more trouble discerning Alanis Morissette's voice from Meredith Brooks' and Patti Rothberg's voices in the nineties than telling the difference between Ghost and Bronson.

Ghostface Killah To Action Bronson: "Who Gives You The Right To Even Mention My Name?"
Just to clarify, when I wrote "what did I expect him to do?", I was talking about Nathan. I would have hoped Dev would have written the whole occurrence out though.

Wavves Shares "Way Too Much," Fights With His Label
As much as Twitter can be the lazy way to make your argument, how many people will read a full-length blog or website posting about their grievances? And no offense to the artists in question, but how many of them are going to sit down and write a perfectly penned statement of their issues? Twitter is a rather immediate portal for getting your angst out. But I do agree, especially when it comes to serious issues and statements. For example, Dev Hynes' statement about being jumped at Lollapalooza should have been a full statement, not a bunch of angry tweets. And again, no offense to Nathan or any other artists, but what did I expect him to do? Write out a sparkling dichotomy of Warner Bros. alienation of himself and other similarly mismanaged artists?

"And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them a displeasure."
"Delilah therefore took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And there were liers in wait abiding in the chamber. And he brake them from off his arms like a thread."
"And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven green withs that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man."
"And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life."
"And she fastened it with the pin, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awaked out of his sleep, and went away with the pin of the beam, and with the web."
"And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and took the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of an hill that is before Hebron."
"Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her."

Ala Kart
1929 Ford Midel A Pickup restyled by Barris Kustoms for Richard Peters of Fresno, California. Built expressly to win the America's Most Beautiful Roadster Trophy at Oakland Roadster Show, George Barris began the construction on Richard's flathead powered pickup truck in 1957. Peters had raced his flatbed truck on the dirt roads around the central California farming community before he decided that it was time to make it faster and nicer. Ironically, the truck actually won the AMBR prize twice, first in 1958 and then again in 1959.
The back body section was taken from a 1927 Ford Model T Roadster. The bed was completely hand formed and fitted with handmade trim. The bed had a tonneau cover which was upholstered with rolled and pleated Naugahyde matching the interior. The taillights are a combination of 1958 Chevrolet Impala and 1956 DeSoto bezels and lenses. The hood is a three piece unit with a continuous scoop made of Reynolds aluminum. The grille shell is made of hand formed metal and tubing and houses the quad lights are from a 1957 Imperial. Aside from the hood, all body work was done in 20 gauge cold rolled steel.
The engine is a fuel injected Dodge Red Ram hemi with the Dupree chrome dome double electric fuel pump, Hunt Magneto, Isky cam, Jahns Racing pistons and Ansen rods. The rear end is from a late model Ford complete with hydraulic brakes. The emergency brake is electrically operated by switch mounted on the dash. The suspension system is all made up of 4 coil springs with adjustable air bags. Torsion bars are Traction Masters with stabilizers. The transmission is a Lincoln Zephyr unit with 3.43 rear gears. The steering wheel was taken from a Lincoln Continental and the complete dash is hand formed with S-W dials. Wheels are chrome reversed units with spun bullets and Dunlop tires.
The top is all made of steel bows and covered with black Naugahyde. The interior has split wrap-around, semi-circle seats done in white pearl Naugahyde and black velvet with chrome beading between each pleat. Carpets are Mouton Black fur. The interior was done by George's in-house upholsterer Roy Gilbert. The electrical system is 12 volt Autolite. Underneath, the flooring and pans are upholstered to match interior.
All four fenders have been bobbed and v-pointed and completely finished on the underside the same as the top. Nerf bars and the exhaust system are chrome plated with ripple side pipes fitted on the shortened running boards. The Kart was finished off with forty coats of white diamond dust mother-of-pearl with projection scallops in Kandy Cerise and gold leaf with pin striping, all hand rubbed to to a high luster. The scallops and paint were laid by George Barris himself, while Dean Jeffries did the pinstriping. The prep and some of the masking was done by Hershel "Junior" Conway.
While George did the wild body and paint, Richard Peters and Blackie Gejeian built and chromed the chassis back in Fresno.During the build, on December 7, 1957 the Barris Shop caught fire, and fourteen cars were lost to the blaze. The Ala Kart was in a separate room, and was luckily spared from the fire. With the Oakland Roadster Show only a couple of months away, things were now in a real hurry. In order to get the interior finished Peters ended up buying Roy Gilbert new stitching equipment.
The car was shown at the ninth annual National Roadster Show, held February 15-23, 1958. Being advertised as a $15,000 hand-built pickup, Richard won the grand award, a $5,000 nine-foot gold trophy being judged as America's Most Beautiful Roadster of 1958. The car was displayed on a filted elevation with mirrors reflecting the chrome under-carriage and white Naugahyde under-flooring. [2]
In 1960, Peters father demanded him to sell the car so he could focus on the family's agri-business. Barris had by then made an agreement with AMT to make a model of the car, without involving Peters. In order to rectify the deal, Peters ended up selling the car to AMT for promotional purposes.
The Ala Kart is known for being the first Show Rod that turned into a model car kit. AMT bought the Ala Kart in 1961 and the model kit was released late that year. The Ala Kart model kit sold more than 1 million kits the following year.
In order to make the car more driveable in and out of shows, the Hilborn injectors were swapped for four Stromberg 97 carburetors. In November of 1963, while the Ala-Kart was being driven by AMT's Budd Anderson, an electrical wire shorted out and melted the plastic fuel lines which allowed gasoline from the electric fuel pump to set the engine compartment ablaze doing serious damage to the hood and leaded cowl. The February 1964 issue of Rod & Custom reported the story in an article titled "The End of the Ala-Kart". For the next year, the winner of 2 AMBR awards and over 200 other top trophies was stored in a Detroit garage. After receiving many letters from Ala-Kart fans, AMT sent the Ala-Kart back to Barris' North Hollywood shop for restoration, coinciding with a re-release of the kit, which was chronicled in the September through November 1965 issues of Rod & Custom. At that time Rod & Custom proclaimed it "America's most popular Hot Rod." In 1966 the Ala Kart was sent to a new project shop they had set up in Phoenix, Arizona. Gene Winfield was hired by AMT in order to work on their 1:1 show cars in this shop.
In 1966, AMT sold the Ala Kart to Goodyear Tire dealer Jack Shira. Jack painted his logo on the doors, and displayed the Ala Kart in the lot of his store in the hoot Phoenix sun. After a few years Jack's shop was closed, and the car disappeared. The car changed hands several times without any major changes being made to it. Nick Vaccaro was able to track the car down and acquire the famous Ala Kart. In 1973 Vaccaro ran an ad on the back of Hot Rod Magazine offering the car for sale. Vaccaro had disassembled the Kart and stripped most of its body. He had also began to make a new chassis for the car, with a TCI frame, smallblock Chevy engine and Jaguar rear end. Nick Vacarro owned the car at until 1996.
In 1996 a restoration of the car began at the Hershel "Junior" Conway House of Color. In the fall of 2001 John Mumford acquired the Ala Kart, and brought it to Roy Brizio's shop for a full restoration.

This stuff is really good! After reading Scott Dunlap's post about coconut water, I decided to give it a try. Actually, just prior to reading that, my brother recommended it to me as well. He mixes cocoa beans and other vegan goodies to it to make delicious shakes. It is refreshing and works really well as a recovery drink after training runs.
I am buying it by the case now at my local health food store:

Why I Love SPIRAL Anne Cassidy
SPIRAL is a French language TV cop drama. So far there have been three series. It was shown on BBC4 and gathered a cult audience. I love SPIRAL. Here are my reasons why:
1. The characters are believable. They have different aspects to their personalities. They can do good things for bad reasons and vice versa. I particularly like Laure, the female detective who has an explosive temper.
2. The plots are layered. There are a number of stories going on at one time, not all of them linked. They look at different aspects of the French law system.
3. The main crimes are violent and nasty and mean that I have to cover my eyes sometimes. I like this. Death and murder is violent and nasty and I want to feel uncomfortable watching it.
4. There is passion and sometimes love in the series. As in life it does not run smoothly.
5. There are parts of the series that are tremendously exciting. The end of series three was a race for time and I was moving around on my seat desperate for things to go right.
What more can you ask from an intelligent TV series?
3 comments:
Couldn't agree more. Add to your reasons:
1) a wonderful insight into the French legal system from top to bottom. Very different procedures all round from the policing to the judiciary.
2) Extremely fanciable men. I specially like the old white-haired Juge Ruban!
3) Very attractive villainess WITH RED HAIR!
It's completely ACE in every way. And I get to brush up on my French, too!

Deschutes Brewery, the fifth-largest craft brewer in the U.S., made its official Ohio debut last week, but special events promoting the brand are continuing through this week.
"Ohio is a huge state for us," brand ambassador Lauranne "Lou" Crooks said Monday during a tasting at Acme Fresh Market in Akron. "It's the biggest launch we've ever done. There's over 12 of us here from Oregon who flew out for this launch."
Ohio also is a milestone for the company because Deschutes is now available in 25 states, she said.
The Bend, Ore., brewery is offering its Mirror Pond Pale Ale, Black Butte Porter, Red Chair Northwest Pale Ale and Inversion IPA here. It's holding beer tastings, dinners and even a burlesque show to promote its brand. The burlesque show, called "Beer-lesque: Tastings and Tassels," is at 8 p.m. Friday at Skully's Music-Diner in Columbus.
"There are so many great local breweries out here in Ohio we're just excited to be recognized as the new kid on the block," Crooks said. "We're the transfer kid. Everybody wants to know who we are."
Jon Albrecht, the beer buyer for Acme, said Deschutes is selling well. "All four of the six packs are equal [in sales]," he said. "Usually you see one way ahead of the others. That speaks to the quality of all their items."

Hallo an Tyimo.
I mean you schould build the Nishiki. I've download the manual from Wims Site and going to build it. The 6N1P-EV i use for SRPP or Cascode called Input. The Comment who Other DIY'ers wrote is right. A real Frontstage, i would say frechness, detailled in the Highs. First listening i was very impressed. The Amp works without Velleman but with R+L 15 Ohm and around 6,3mm 16 turns o,75 Cu- Wire. It gives no on/off Plopps to Speaker. The Choke is a Hammond 156L 5H, 75mA, 135 Ohm works pretty. I like the Sound of the Amp but i must finish it to a nice Case. Thanks to Wim that we DIY'er can build a amazing Amp. |

I attach here a picture with simplified schematic. But you have to guess the values of resistors. So, if you want some details, you have to search the web for more information. I could send you the full article in PDF, if you give email.

In my ippinion also the Nelson Pass ideas: simple is better you schould build first the 6N1P-EV Variant. The Coppel C is Clarity SA 4,7µ, Q1- BD679; Q2,3 2SC4382, 2SA1668 Sanken Hfe matched and the LAPT 2SC3263 in the Output. My Inspiration was to listen the Quasi Comp. Output like Quad or Naim Amps. The Valve i know from test as Tube Buffer with LM3886 from China Jims Audio. From Mikel Chua- AmpsLab i've bought and wired 2xLM60 SJ162/SK1058 LatFet and i know they are relaxed to listen every Day. But im on Search. Now i would like Test Papa Nelsons Amps F4, F5, F5Tv2, Mini Aleph, Amp Camp Amp a lot of work i have to finnish. In the PSU of Nishiki HV D1-4 BYV96D used C3 is Audyn Q4. For Tube Heating i add a 1,8Ohm/5W to got 12,6V. Don't Forget i'm a DIY'er how spend some Time with HiFi- Hobby.

There is no denying that public-sector workers are facing difficult times, and no denying that the Government's proposed pension reforms add to an already heavy burden of wage freezes, inflation and redundancy threats. Even so, now is no time to strike. With the economy back on the brink of recession, and chill winds from the euro crisis whipping dangerously through public and private sectors alike, the prospect of up to two million teachers, immigration workers and civil servants bringing Britain grinding to a halt is a dismaying one. The trade unions should act responsibly, and call their action off.
That is not to say that the implications of the pension reforms are insignificant. Staff are being asked to pay more and work longer, and may still receive less when they retire. Such a prospect would never be welcome. In the context of £83bn worth of spending cuts and economic stagnation, it is grim indeed. But to portray the situation as a typical Tory-led government using any excuse to hack back the state is a characterisation as lazy as it is false. The proposed reforms are no ideologically driven, back-of-a-napkin policy whim. They are based on analysis from John Hutton – a former Labour minister, no less – with the inescapable conclusion that the generosity of the current pension arrangements is simply unsustainable. With people living longer, and the demographic balance tilting towards the elderly, there is no alternative but for individuals to take on more of the financial load that currently rests on taxpayers' shoulders.
The case for reform is only part of the issue, however. That public-sector workers, galvanised by their unions, are ready to cause national havoc to defend terms and conditions that compare so favourably with those of their private-sector counterparts, only adds to the sense that state employees are out of touch with the damage that recession has already wrought elsewhere.
It is grossly mistaken to take recent "business as usual" double-digit pay increases at the very top of the private sector as an index of the rest of the commercial world. Executive greed apart, rank-and-file private-sector workers have been, and continue to be, sharply squeezed.
Although wage increases have picked up slightly this year, they are still languishing at 2.5 per cent, less than half the inflation rate. And that follows several years of pay freezes, and even cuts, as employees bargained hard to hold on to their jobs. Such developments render the common claim that public-sector benefits make up for comparatively low salaries hopelessly outdated. In fact, the gap between public and private pay has reversed in recent years, particularly at the lower end of the scale. A comparison of pension arrangements tells a similar tale. Even with the proposed reforms, public-sector plans remain considerably more generous than their equivalents in the private sector, where final salary schemes have long been off-limits to new entrants, if not closed altogether.
Neither is the public sector uniquely threatened by either the spending cuts or the worsening economic climate. As many as two million jobs have been lost since the start of the recession – the vast majority of them in business – and the worst may not be over. Not only has the past week alone seen hundreds more private-sector job losses, but problems at Thomas Cook and Arcadia do not bode well for the high street.
Against such a background, it is impossible to justify the biggest strike since the Winter of Discontent in 1979. Faced with a slew of gloomy indicators, any avoidable economic drag is inexcusable. The trade unions must go back to the negotiating table, hammer out a deal and avoid industrial action. This is not about an ideological battle over the size of the state. It is about what the taxpayer can afford. Now is the time for some realism from the public sector. It is time that we were all in it together.
