Useful software for bass players
Posted 28 April 2011 - 08:01 PM
Not really bass specific though...
Posted 28 April 2011 - 09:50 PM
There's a free and paid version. I think the paid one has more comping styles and the automatic "random" generator.

Andy, I use EZdrummer which is around £80 and is usually packaged as a bundle with an extra drum kit (check dv247.com). It comes with pop/rock drums (the default, sounds pretty decent) and a cocktail kit (not all that great). I got the one with the two funk drumkits. You get a good selection of midi loops with it and it can accept any other midi drum tracks. I got some from Groove Monkee for $20 - $30 a pack (but Google for some vouchers or sign up for their newsletter for discount codes, I think june20 is their latest, giving 20% off). They do a sample pack of free loops from all their ranges too: http://www.groovemon...om/en/free-midi.
The drums on my track here were done in EZdrummer: http://basschat.co.u...howtopic=134193.

Here's a link to it on DV247. They have the funkmasters one plus Drumkit From Hell which is more suited to rock/metal: http://www.dv247.com/search/0/0/ProductQua...ng/ezdrummer/1/

The guitar pro tabs app, which is about £1.99 and they have an upgrade to read guitar pro tabs for $4.99, dunno what that is in £s
and for recording on the fly; Four Track Pro, litterally lets you record up to 4 tracks on the go when you may be in a rehesal room or at a mates house jamming and dont have anything else spare. This is free if you upgrade it has limited editing options and a metronome.
Jam Box- is pretty much a scale and chord library. in the free version it has guitar positions but if you upgrade it has 5&4 string bass positions. (not sure about 6).

($70-$100) Good bright red-ruby. Subdued but pure aromas of currant, dark chocolate and sexy oak. Moderately sweet, medium-bodied and vinous, with ripe acidity and a floral element providing mid-palate lift. Still a bit medicinal and unevolved, but this has the serious structure to develop slowly and well in bottle. Finishes long and firm.

Great 2nd Growth Margaux.. Hold unitil 2011
by Seiler13298509
We opened this bottle in Las Vegas at Legends paired with New York cut and Lobster tail. We finished the Bottle next to the pool with an Ashton ESG. Both proved to be GREAT pairings. This wine presented with a deep ruby color. This is a young wine (2005) so I was not concerned with bricking or spoil. The aromas of floral and currant were pronounced and inquiring. There were complicated flavors of black cherry, oak, smoke and a resident dark chocolate in the background. Although the tannins were slightly high, the intensity of the flavors suggests this wine was opened a couple years too soon. This proved to be a semi-sweet, medium bodied, structured wine with a delightfully solid and long finish. This is a respectable, enjoyable second growth Margaux that should be enjoyed after 2011.

Your Fact of the Day: Tip your server: we're dining out more
Americans are going out to restaurants more, spending nearly as much in 2011 as before the recession took hold in 2008.
Americans are fond of eating out, and the belt-tightening of the recession has eased.
In another sign of our recovering economy, Americans are visiting restaurants more often. Government figures show the average household spent $2,620 dining out in 2011 – nearly as much as in the record year of 2008, when it spent $2,698.
The jobs forecast for the restaurant industry is good. Food preparation and service positions are projected to increase 12 percent by 2020.
One-third of all restaurants nationwide are franchises.

Oh LAWD. I'm in a deep, musk smelling pit of despair. What do you do when you've seen your film so many times that you're unable to see whether it is good or bad, which changes that could improve it, and what works and what doesn't?
While waiting for our final Korsakow film to finish snuing, I went down to the editing suites to see if I could make our film a little more attractive to look at. Based on the feedback we have gotten so far, I think it's already pretty good; however, after seeing the amazing progress that other groups have made, I'm starting to get nervous about how our film will look in comparison to the others.
I've been trying to teach myself how to avoid comparison to others; this applies to every aspect of my life, in film, assignments, popularity, sport, appearance etc. My mother always told me that nothing good comes out of this: I can only be myself, do my own things, and that is good enough. While I assume this is what all mothers are told to tell their kids as soon as the baby pops out at the hospital (or in the elevator for that matter), there is definitely some truth in it; if I constantly compare my things to what others make, how can I ever make something original and daring? And how can I ever imagine a career in such a competitive field if I don't have faith in my own skills and work?
On the other hand, comparison can be extremely useful. It brings about ideas, and most importantly, it pushes you to improve something you had settled with because it was just about "good enough". When I saw what some of the other students had managed to do in the editing suites I were blown away, it was absolutely shocking to see how good some of the films looked.
Has our film really changed that much since we did our first rough cut? Well of course it has. What I'm wondering is whether we've experimented enough, tried enough options to know that what we've settled for is actually the best option.
We have lowered the saturation, darkened the blacks and mids (and at instances we've lightened the highlights even further), added 8-point garbage matte on the clips, and it does look good. However, comparative demons are lurking in the back of my head; should we have desaturated the entire film completely, and maybe having red as the only visible colour? Did we try all the different structures to tell the story the best way?
Luckily there are still some days left where we can tighten it up and polish it even more. I really want to be able to feel confident when we show it at the screening, knowing that no matter what the reception is, I'll be happy with the result and the process.

Any Help is appreciated. I was not sure where to post this issue, hopefully I choose correctly!
I have a two part problem most likely connected to each other. The first part being that we are getting very poor resolution output printing to a HP Design Jet 1055CM (only in a 3D perspective view) in AutoCAD LDD 2004. The second part is that the perspective views are not using the specified plotting parameters.
Our drawing contains 3 viewports 2 of which are 3D perspectives and the 3rd is a typical plan view. The plan view prints perfectly! The drawing is an existing site in a oil field showing the power poles from ground elevation extruded along the pole alignment to the top of the power pole drawn as 3DSOLIDS. The ground topo shown in the perspectives are 3D polylines as well as the power lines between each power pole. The 3rd viewport (plan view) prints perfectly utilizing the plot styles specified in our plot parameters. But the two viewports that display the perspectives will not use the plot styles so colors and line weights do not work and to boot the output is very very did I say very poor resolution.
We have also tried printing to 2 other devices a Kyocera KM-C3225 KX laser printer and to Adobe PDF Converter both improving the first issue but neither address being able to use our the plot style settings to control lineweights thickness and color.
I do not think it matters much, but we are also getting similar results using AutoCAD Civil 3D 2009
Thanks in advanced for your help, Mike

The Winchester Municipal Utilities Commission on Thursday elected long-time commissioner Gerry Yeiser to serve as commission chairman, following the recent request by Dexter Noble not to be reappointed to the seat.
Yeiser, a commercial property manager and real estate appraiser, has served on the commission for more that 13 years. He is also co-owner of the Yeiser Industrial Park.
"I will do my best to live up to the confidence and pressure you put on me and continue the good job that Mr. Noble had been doing for the last several years," he told the commission.
Noble served as chairman for eight years, but he submitted a letter to Mayor Ed Burtner last month stating that he would not accept reappointment for another term, due to the "demand for time in his personal interests and business."

Bonjour mes amis!
I have some exciting news. I am taking this show on the road. For the next two weeks I will be skillin' my way around Paris and the south of France. This holiday is one that I have been looking forward to for months, and I can't wait to do a little sightseeing, drink beaucoup de vin, and generally butcher the French language in my forthcoming posts. On that note, there's no real direct translation for 'Mental Skillness' into French, but I have settled on 'Compétence en France', which seems close enough.
After work today I did a little shopping in preparation for the trip. If you saw Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoniette, you may have noticed a scene at Versailles in which Kirsten Dunst sports a pair of bubblegum-pink Converse:
So I felt it was only fitting that I pick up a pair in honour of my own upcoming visit to Versailles.
I would like nothing more than to wear them with a sweeping ballgown, but I am questioning the likelihood of fitting one into my suitcase. Quel dommage!

Artist Statement
As the online media keeps trumpeting the imminent death of print media and newspapers in particular; reading the New York Times obituaries becomes more compelling. It may in fact be an obsession. If the Times dies where will these death notices go? They are truly fame's final frontier. Where else do serial killers, war heroes and B-movie actresses mix so intriguingly? Are these grainy photos and smudged paragraphs truly the only afterlife?
I've very mixed feelings when I discover an obit of someone I know. I was shocked and saddened when I read that Robert Isabel, the society party-planner had suddenly dropped dead at 57...but on the other-hand, for a shy boy from Duluth....."Way to Go Robert!".
GREATNESS: I began this series of portraits of artists not really sure where it would lead. I started with Picasso because, for me, he is the master. Always inventive, accomplished in every medium. I also thought he was the most extreme narcissist since Nero. My research proved all of this true. I discovered that he thought that in order to be a good artist, a real artist, one has to believe he is the GREATEST ARTIST. I think he was right on that point, and he had the balls to shout it. The second portrait I began was Andy Warhol. I knew Andy, so I used a personal story to illustrate the portrait. The awe inspiring thing about Andy was the entirely unique way he thought. The other thing was that he worked so hard. I don't think you can achieve greatness without hard work. He didn't think so either.
DISCOVERIES: As I got deeper into this series I began to unconsciously mimic stylistic traits, color palettes even the choice of ancillary subject matter in the paintings. For instance; I show Mary Cassatt with a dog in her lap. My intention was to parody the Madonna and child portraits of religious art. What I discovered was that female artists of the impressionist period were restricted to this sort of, sometimes saccharin, imagery. They almost never painted outdoors with the men, and in fact, almost never featured men in their paintings. Puppies, kittens, flowers and babies were the required subjects.
IDOLATRY: This series is all about my idols, and at the time I began these paintings Pope Benedict gave a sermon about the over-abundance of false idols dominating the media. I think he meant Paris Hilton and the Jonas Brothers. Frankly, I was surprised he took the time to worry about the tabloids. Shouldn't he be more concerned about war, hunger and racial and religious persecution? I think we all have the right to choose our own idols, even when it's Paris Hilton.
DOORS: Doors have a history in art and religion. European cathedrals often feature highly embellished gilded doors depicting saints and demons. The Hindu religion has doors to heaven and doors to hell. At Episcopalian churches red doors signify sanctuary. I also like doors as objects. They are not passive. By resting them on the floor and leaning them against a wall they subtly invade a space.
QUOTES: My favorite is Toulouse Lautrec's "I paint things as they are. I don't comment." Total bullshit.

Vision and Mission
VISION: Chemistry is central to the well-being of society.
Our vision statement, though simple, transmits a depth of understanding of the chemical sciences and engineering, and of society as a whole. Each word holds significant meaning:
Chemistry: This word includes both the science and the people — the professionals using chemistry will be recognized as benefiting every facet of life.
Central: Chemistry is the central science. Chemistry bridges biology, physics, geology and other scientific disciplines as many scientists now work at the molecular level. From organic chemistry to the pursuit of life-saving pharmaceuticals to molecular medicine, chemistry is the fundamental science of life.
Well-being: New technologies and the comfortable lifestyle enjoyed by many Canadians are provided through the applications of chemistry. Sustainable improvement will only be achieved through public appreciation of the importance and positive aspects of science and chemistry in everyday life. Knowledge and understanding are key to avoiding harm and to benefiting from the appropriate use of all chemicals.
Society: Interdisciplinary arts and science professionals, and society at large, will recognize the value of chemistry. CIC members are a key part of society and must be involved. Through outreach and professional engagement, the public appreciates how chemistry and the CIC are a positive part of our society.
MISSION: Advance the principles and practices of the chemical sciences for the betterment of society.
The betterment of society covers three pillars: (1) Environment; (2) Health and Safety; and (3) Economy and Energy.
To achieve both its vision and mission, the CIC will:
- Assist the profession to remain current with technology;
- Encourage the development of the chemical enterprise;
- Participate in the development and education of the chemical sciences and engineering profession;
- Take proactive public positions on issues related to chemical sciences and engineering;
- Communicate informed science to the public.

Mini-post #3: Fill in the Gaps
Is anyone else doing this challenge? Or are you involved in another reading plan?
I personally love having a list of books to read. It helps me to be more deliberate & thoughtful about what I put in front of my face.
3 comments:
MaDonna, I looked online at different book lists. For instance, I'm reading a ton of Newbery Award winners. I also checked a site to see which books were teen's favorites. Then I had some favorite authors I wanted to read more of. There were also a few classics I sprinkled in for good measure. While we were in China, most of what I read were classics because that's what I could buy at the book stores in Beijing, so my reading "gap" was really in YA and middle grade lit. Since I write those genres, I knew I needed to read more. :) Let me know if you decide to do a list!
Catherine, I think it's great to have a list. This is my first time trying it. It's a long committment -- five years -- and I do feel a little guilty when I read a book outside my list. But then I remind myself it's supposed to be FUN, not like homework, and I feel better. :)

Hi Team,
First of big thanks for the really good FAQ.
While looking at the API (which is working fine) I found one KB part missing. Not sure if by design or not.
If you return an KB with "api.php?action=getFaq&lang=en&recordId=42"
You don't get any reference to the attached document in the REST output. It's not said to be returned by the API, but I think it's should.
Is there a different call to get the document link?

Candia man arrested after DEA search turns up drugs
Candia Police, assisting agents of the Drug Enforcement Administration-led Northern New England High Intensity Drug Task Force, arrested Jesse Higgins, 49 of Bean Island Road in Candia on Jan. 23. He is charged with two felony counts of possession of a controlled narcotic.
The DEA went to the home looking for another person against whom they had an outstanding warrant, who was found there and arrested. While searching the residence, however, DEA agents discovered hydrocodone and Prozac, allegedly belonging to Higgins.
The identity of the other individual and the nature of the DEA warrant were not released. The Manchester DEA office deferred comment to a spokesperson in Boston, Anthony Pettigrew, who could not be reached.
Higgins was released on $25,000 personal recognizance bail. He will be arraigned Feb. 20 at the 10th Circuit District Division Court in Candia.
Members of the United States Marshals Services and the Rockingham County Sheriffs Department assisted in the arrest.
Higgins' brother, Jack Higgins, was also arrested by Candia police in October. Jack Higgins was wanted after he skipped a scheduled court date in March and went on the run for seven months. He was arrested on multiple charges, including possession of a controlled narcotic with intent to distribute, driving with a revoked license, and negligent driving, all of which were issued by other Rockingham County towns. Candia had no warrants against him.

Jesus frees a demon-possessed man
26 Jesus and his disciples sailed to the Gerasenes' land, which is across the lake from Galilee. 27 As soon as Jesus got out of the boat, a certain man met him. The man was from the city and was possessed by demons. For a long time, he had lived among the tombs, naked and homeless. 28 When he saw Jesus, he shrieked and fell down before him. Then he shouted, " What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don't torture me! " 29 He said this because Jesus had already commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had taken possession of him, so he would be bound with leg irons and chains and placed under guard. But he would break his restraints, and the demon would force him into the wilderness.
30 Jesus asked him, " What is your name? "
" Legion, " he replied, because many demons had entered him. 31 They pleaded with him not to order them to go back into the abyss.t32 A large herd of pigs was feeding on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus to let them go into the pigs. Jesus gave them permission, 33 and the demons left the man and entered the pigs. The herd rushed down the cliff into the lake and drowned.
34 When those who tended the pigs saw what happened, they ran away and told the story in the city and in the countryside. 35 People came to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone. He was sitting at Jesus' feet, fully dressed and completely sane. They were filled with awe. 36 Those people who had actually seen what had happened told them how the demon-possessed man had been delivered. 37 Then everyone gathered from the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave their area because they were overcome with fear. So he got into the boat and returned across the lake. 38 The man from whom the demons had gone begged to come along with Jesus as one of his disciples. Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 " Return home and tell the story of what God has done for you. " So he went throughout the city proclaiming what Jesus had done for him.

The 11 vehicles earned their trophies for being "the best and most significant" offerings to the mag's staff and contributors, and while we were surprised to see a couple of them on the list, none of them were shocking. In no particular order, they are: Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 (seen above) Porsche Boxster Subaru BRZ/Scion FR-S Audi A7 Ram 1500 Honda Accord Mazda CX-5 Ford Focus BMW 3 Series Volkswagen GTI Random notes: The least expensive vehicle on the list was the Ford Focus at $16,995 however, it was the $24,495 Focus ST that was actually driven; the least expensive vehicle as-tested, when such indication was given, was the $28,265 BRZ; the most expensive vehicle as-tested was the $75,615 Porsche Boxster S, hurdling the price of the A7 by nearly $4,000; the greatest disparity between base and as-tested price was the Ram, from the $24,395 skin-and-bones truck to the $54,335 Laramie Longhorn Crew Cab; the GTI was viewed through the history of its birthplace, Wolfsburg.

Filed under: Coupe, Performance, Honda, McLaren As one of the premier sports cars in the world, the Porsche 911 is always driving around with a target on its rear-engined backside. If a new report is to be believed, the latest automaker with plans to build a 911-fighting sports coupe could be McLaren. Motor Trend is reporting that the recent news that Honda and McLaren are teaming up to build Formula One racecars could bear road-going fruit as well. According to the article, the unnamed entry-level McLaren coupe may be powered by a Honda-sourced engine, but a detuned version of the 3.8-liter V8 from the MP4-12C is said to be more likely. All in, though, there is no solid information on the car just yet. As a reminder, M/T points out that the last time McLaren partnered up with a mainstream automaker, the world was introduced to the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren.McLaren pondering Honda-powered 911 killer? originally appeared on Autoblog on Tue, 21 May 2013 16:02:00 EST.

Filed under: Classics, Audi, Chevrolet, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Porsche A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites: 1976-79 Porsche 930, aka 911 Turbo Carrera (above) Photo Credit: Dorotheum While Chevrolet beat them by a decade with the turbocharged Corvair Corsa, the Germans more fully developed turbocharging through racing where General Motors couldn't. Early Porsche 930s (known technically as 911 Turbo Carreras) were a bit crude, with turbo lag that could be measured with an egg timer. They lacked an intercooler as well as brakes that were up to the task, but performance was sensational, with the buff books reporting 0-60 times of anywhere from 4.9 to 5.8 seconds and quarter-mile times of under 14 seconds. This was '60s muscle car performance at the height of the Malaise Era. Sadly, the 930 cost about six times as much as your average muscle car did.

He is a regular contributor to the automotive section of the New York Times and is the author of "Ran When Parked, Advice and Adventures from the Affordable Underbelly of Car Collecting."

#5 - Wobbuffet
Possibly the most obvious troll in the history of Pokémon. Even his permanent expression of bafflement suggests he is a troll through and through. Wobbufet has a move pool in which you can create a Pokémon who is near uncounterable. Now throw in a cry that sounds like a Down's syndrome sufferer falling out of a window and you have a perfect troll.
#4 - Jigglypuff
Jigglypuff never did anything of note in the Pokémon games. The animé was where she truly made her name as a world-class troll. Jigglypuff knows full well that her music puts people to sleep, yet she insists on reacting with fury whenever her audience begins to slumber. This fury is then followed up with Jigglypuff using her marker pen to vandalize the sleeping faces of her victims. Why does Jigglypuff carry around a marker pen? She knows people are going to fall asleep, and she loves it. Troll.
#3 - Snorlax
Snorlax has always displayed himself as fat, slow, and lazy, however Snorlax is just using these traits as excuses, excuses to lie in front of you, blocking progress in the game, until you find some strange, obscure flute. Why, of all the pixels in Kanto, does Snorlax pick the ones right in front of the paths to Fuschia City? He knows that's where you're going. He is trolling you.
#2 - Magikarp
Nintendo went out of their way to show Magikarp as a wholly useless Pokémon, and as a result, he is met with eternal ridicule. Magikarp is unable (or doesn't want to?) learn TMs, something every other Pokémon can do with ease. After splashing around for 20 levels, Magikarp suddenly decides he's had enough. He then evolves in Gyarados, a true hurricane of a Pokémon, and continues to destroy anything he can see. Magikarp had the strength all along, he just couldn't be fucked. What a troll.
#1 - Electrode
And finally we have Nintendo's No.1 troll of trollville; Electrode. Electrode's sole purpose in life is to forcefully inflict destruction upon others, and he loves it. Electrodes will sit in the Power Plant and wait for an infinite amount of time, until you chance upon them and mistake them for a Poké Ball. Electrode's very appearance is designed to fool and infuriate the player. He was born to troll. After engaging this 'Poké Ball' in battle, Electrode wastes no time in Exploding. Electrode actively pretends to be a helpful item, fights you, then explodes in your face, killing himself. And he does all this whilst wearing his trademark manic grin. That is dedication. Dedication to one's art. Biggest. Troll. Ever.

This past weekend proved to be another incredible experience with some of the top culinary talent in the world. The New York Culinary Experience, hosted by New York Magazine at the International Culinary Center brought in top chefs including Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Marc Murphy, Jacques Torres, April Bloomfield, Cesare Casella, Dan Barber and so many more. Those who attended the cooking classes taught by these famed chefs had the opportunity to gain the secrets straight from the sources.
You didn't have to be a total chef groupie to appreciate the extraordinary line-up of chefs at this year's NYCE. Whether you were getting one-on-one advice from Chef David Bouley in his Mise en Place class or sharing a cocktail with Chef Daniel Rose during his Spring Restaurant Favorites class, students had the culinary experience of a lifetime. The entire weekend was another huge success with plenty of laughs and more importantly, plenty of food. See our entire photo album covering the event here on Facebook. Below are some of our favorite scenes and highlights from the weekend:
Iron Chef Marc Forgione wowed students when he taught them how to turn duck liver and foie gras mousse into a scrumptious dish that had all the tasting elements of peanut butter and jelly.
Chef Seamus Mullen demonstrated how to fillet a whole fluke in his Fish A to Z class and how to prepare fresh crudo at home.
Chef David Bouley shared his three secret favorite ingredients: homemade orange powder, garlic sauce, and tomato water (all of which he demonstrated how to make in his Mise en Place class).
Chef Ron Ben-Israel landed "sweet" kisses on the cheek of his co-instructor Chef Jacques Torres in their Cake Decorating and Chocolate Work.
Underground Eats co-founder Harris Damashek got his dream birthday cake! Harris, whose birthday was on Saturday during the NYCE, received the demo cake made by the two masters of dessert, Chefs Ben-Israel and Torres! Birthday wishes do come true.

A New and Improved Database
A group of researchers at Yale University may have leveled the playing field for database performance. What's interesting is their solution is not even technically a database.
Called "Calvin," their new "database" is actually a transaction scheduling and replication coordination service its developers say could provide a nice alternative to the pricey distributed relational databases offered by Oracle and IBM.
Two of Calvin's developers, Daniel Abadi and Alexander Thomson, raise some interesting questions on their blog that were also part of the impetus for developing Clavin:
Why are Oracle's 11g and 10g databases as well as versions of IBM's DB2 database— technologies that were developed several decades ago — still at the top of the TPC-C list? What about all the new general-purpose database management system technologies that can supposedly scale easily?
The reason is that scalability cannot be achieved without a few sacrifices — some quite painful — which they detail in their blog post.
So how does Calvin compare to SQL, "NewSQL" (various new scalable/high performance SQL database vendors), and NoSQL?
Adadi and Thomson write that Calvin should not be compared to any of the three as they "designed the system to integrate with any data storage layer, relational or otherwise. Calvin allows user transaction code to access the data layer freely, using any data access language or interface supported by the underlying storage engine (so long as Calvin can observe which records user transactions access)."
Worthy of note is that Calvin can reportedly run 500,000 transactions per second on 100 Amazon EC2 instances in the cloud and can maintain strongly-consistent, up-to-date 100-node replicas in Amazon's Europe and US West data centers — at no cost to throughput, they write. Not too shabby.
For more information on Calvin, check out their paper here.

A tour of the Jeanie Johnston, in Dublin, enables visitors to see what it was like on board a wooden, tall ship during the famine era. The tour will convey a deep sense of history and will be a memorable experience for all who come on board.
The re-created Jeanie Johnston provides a story of a proud Irish emigrant ship, in Dublin's city centre. A step aboard the Jeanie Johnston is a step towards understanding the daunting experience of the millions of people who crossed the Atlantic, seeking survival and hope in the new world of North America. It's to experience the fear of the unknown ahead, the flight from poverty and famine, the pain of separation from family and the challenge of a 3,000 mile voyage braving gales and harsh seas. A tour of the re-created Jeanie Johnston enables visitors to see what it was like on board a wooden, tall ship during the famine era. The tour will convey a deep sense of history and will be a memorable experience for all who come on board. Once on board, visitors are transported back in time 150 years or more to join the poverty stricken Irish emigrants as they boarded the sturdy ship for the difficult transatlantic voyage and uncertain future in the New World. In descending to the dimly lit quarters below deck, the grim realities that faced the passengers soon become evident. Accommodation consisted of bare bunks, where people were pressed tightly together, with four adults sharing a six foot square space. The life sized figures that are present in the museum below deck are all based on actual passengers who sailed on the ship. From the 15 year old girl (Margaret Conway) travelling only with her 12 year old brother, to the father of 11 (James Stack) whose livelihood was ruined by the famine. All the misery, anguish and confusion of the emigrant Irish is vividly brought to mind. Back up on deck, visitors have an opportunity to marvel at the skill, ingenuity and craftwork involved in re-creating this genuine replica of a wooden, tall ship, one of the last of its type to sail the Atlantic in the 19th Century. Jeanie Johnston is docked at Custom House Quay in Dublin's city centre and is an accurate replica of the original ship which sailed between Tralee in County Kerry and North America between 1847 and 1855. Guided tours for visitors are conducted daily. The vessel is available for private hire for special events.

Something I wrote for pride season, exploring the pros — and cons — of the LGBT rights movement going mainstream. Check it out at Alternet 6/23/2011
How Big Business Subverts DemocracyThe Guardian. February 16, 2011A piece I wrote with Andy Bichlbaum of the Yes Men, responding to revelations that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has been exploring a "dirty tricks" campaign against its public interest and labor groups opponents.
Wrote this piece for Alternet (1/11/2011) about an international campaign to to draw attention to the terrible phenomenon of "corrective rape" against lesbians in South Africa. This piece, also in Alternet (2/1/2011) explores the challenges that LGBT asylum seekers face in verifying their claims, with a focus on a Ugandan asylum seeker fighting for the right to stay in the UK, after being threatened directly by the country's most notoriously anti-gay politico (author of the "Kill the Gays" bill, David Bahati).
A video I helped produce for All Out a new international campaign organization for LGBT equality. Here also a dispatch I filed for Alternet from a global LGBT rights conference in Sao Paolo, Brazil.
