SBW still in Test picture
28 Jul 2012
All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has confirmed that centre Sonny Bill Williams is eligible for the Rugby Championship.
Williams will be leaving New Zealand Rugby later this year to take up a lucrative club contract in Japan. After that, he will return to rugby league.
It was believed that, for this reason, Williams would not be considered for the Tests against Argentina, Australia and South Africa, but on Friday NZRU CEO Steve Tew said the injury situation in New Zealand had prompted a rethink.
On Saturday, Hansen, the All Blacks coach said Williams would be considered. The squad for the Rugby Championship will be announced on 5 August, a day after Williams competes in the Super Rugby final for the Chiefs.

Modern Records
"First comes the class in the small, crinkled, slightly seedy person of John Lee Hooker, a.k.a. The Hook, Doctor Feelgood, and, by way of formal onstage introduction, 'The Godfather of the Blues'. . . . The first great recorded practitioner of the electric blues-rock-funk and stream-of-consciousness boogie, he introduced a style to which every white blues band since 1962 must trace at least half its roots." John Lee Hooker was 72 when his 1979 appearence at New York's Lone Star Cafe brought on that tribute from Patrick Carr in the Village Voice. Hooker's influence on blues, blues-folk and blues-rock musicians remains vital ten years later.
Born in Clarksdale, Mississippi, he learned his "Delta licks" style of guitar playing from his stepfather, William Moore, and his colleagues James Smith and Coot Harris. He ascribed his style—with, in writer Fred Stuckey's words, "tonal 'bendings' of the third, fifth and seventh degrees of the scale and abrasive two-finger picking"—to them in an interview with Stuckey in Guitar Player, stating that "Down in Clarksdale, my stepfather taught me all I know about playing the guitar. . . . After this uprising of fancy music, I never did drop what I learned back then. I'm doin'what the blues singers was doin' back then, and it sounded good. It still sounds good, and I'm always goin' to keep it just the way it is."
Hooker travelled to Memphis, Cincinnati and Detroit where, in the mid-1940s, he made a demo for distributor Bernie Besman. Hooker recorded his first single, "Boogie Chillen" and "Sally Mae," for the Sensation label. As distributed by Modern Records, it became a hit on the blues charts of 1949. He followed this record with "In the Mood for Love" and "Crawling King Snake" for Modern. From 1955 to 1964, he recorded for Vee Jay, making singles and albums for that Chicago-based firm, such as Travelin' (1961) and Big Soul: Best of John Lee Hooker (1963). He also recorded under a confounding variety of pseudonyms—among them, Delta John, Johnny Lee, and Birmingham Sam and his Magic Guitar—for a large number of companies. Many of these one-time contracted recordings have been collected and re-mastered in recent years.
During the revived interest in traditional guitar music and performance styles prompted by the popularity of folk music in the 1960s, Hooker was "rediscovered" for the first of many times. He performed at the Newport Folk Festival in 1960 and appeared at coffee houses and college campuses. Hooker was also being rediscovered in Great Britain, where he was an important influence on groups that equated blues with rock and roll, such as the Rolling Stones and the Animals, who recorded his "Boom Boom." Hooker performances became as famous for the rock superstars who appeared in the audience as for his own music. In an engagement at Ungano's in 1969, for example, the Village Voice reported that "three nights after opening, Eric Clapton, Delaney and Bonnie, Ginger Baker and Chris Wood came down to jam with the Doctor and returned the next night for more. And on Saturday, Richie Havens with his whole band in tow showed up to sing and jam."
In the 1970s, as musical forms fused, he concertized with performers from the rock group Canned Heat (with whom he recorded Hooker 'n' Heat) to folk vocalist Bonnie Raitt. He was frequently honored as one of the creators of his genre in joint and group concerts by the long-time greats of blues music. In the Blues Variations concert at Lincoln Center in 1973 he was paired with Muddy Waters and Mose Allison, while in A Night of the Blues at the Brooklyn Academy of Music two years later, he shared the program with Albert King and folk harmonicist Peg Leg Sam.
Hooker plays flexible blues of 10-13 bar phrases punctuated with foot tapping and an electric guitar sound that has been described as "percussive. . . just shy of dissonance and distortion." Each song is a monologue that retells a story of emotional pain that requires a unique verbal pattern. Reviews of Hooker performances, generally by music historian/journalists who are long-term admirers, provide vivid pictures of his unique song structures and performance style. Carmen Moore wrote in 1970 in the Village Voice that "in his entire set, John Lee sang only one rhymed song. As usual, he paid little heed to the famed three blues chords: all, it seemed, were present at once. What his guitar did was talk, in snaky lines, in sitar quivers, in sudden shocks, in hilly phrases. . . . Gifted with one of the richest voices in contemporary music, this serious of serene of bassos sat down, the mike at his lips, and shared a few instances from his personal black life." Ian Dove, reviewing the Blues Variations concert, also noted the personal delivery style: "He is a complete, closed-in performer, who accents the rhythmic drive of his performances by chopping off phrases and choking off the ends of his rhythmic lines. He keeps things simple, rarely straying from a couple of chords, and delivers his autobiographical blues with growing menace and much vibrato." Almost a decade later, Patrick Carr wrote that Hooker "continues to perform and record with the same slow mastery of blue-life imagery, the same spare, quirky, throttled-violence guitar technique, and the same beautifully resonant leather-and-raw-silk vocal genius that were his from the start."
The optimal way to hear Hooker is in live performance, but there are scores of albums featuring his work. He has made over forty albums under various names. Chess Records has recently begun to re-issue tapes and studio cuts in series of albums simply called The Blues, Volumes 1-3. Amiga Records also distributes a Hooker anthology, Blues, Collection 2.
"Godfather of the blues" or simply one of its greatest practitioners, Hooker has maintained one of the great native art forms of the United States. He described its universal importance and appeal to Guitar Player: "Everybody understands the blues now—the young, all races, all over the world. Back then people pretended they didn't know, but now they know. The young people have really brought it out. . . . It's a tremendous thing because it's true. It's the truest music that ever been written. . . . Everything comes right from the blues—spirituals, jazz, rock. The blues is the root of all this."
Born August 22, 1917, in Clarksdale, Miss. ; son of a Baptist minister, stepson of William Moore (a guitarist).
Learned to play guitar from his stepfather, played in Mississippi, then in Memphis, Tenn., Cincinnati, Ohio, and Detroit, Mich.; began recording in the mid-1940s; has performed and recorded under a variety of pseudonyms.

There are several factors to consider when deciding on whether to have life insurance, disability insurance or both.
Life Insurance
If you don't have life insurance, but have a family to support, you might need to get one very soon.
It could give the financial benefit to your loved ones that they would really need in case of your sudden death.
You can get really cheap life insurance coverage for as little as just $10/month.
Many are used to the idea of insuring themselves in the event of their death, but may not be aware that it is also possible to insure in the event of developing an illness or disability which affects their livelihood and that of their families.

Surprised no one else here on the forums has brought this up just yet (or if they have, there's not a dedicated thread to it), but today, Mark Crowe and Scott Murphy have officially announced that they are back together and teaming up for a new game!
They DO NOT have a KickStarter up, but it wouldn't surprise me if one appeared sometime down the road. Currently they are hiring, looking for narrators, and mark the 3rd notable appearance of former Sierra legends coming back into the fold. With Al Lowe, Josh Mandel, Jane Jensen, Robert Holmes, Mark Crowe, and Scott Murphy all announcing their returns to game development, could Ken and Roberta Williams not be far behind?
So with a tentative title of "Two Guys Spaceventure", it's looking like we might just see another Space Quest game (or a spiritual Space Quest successor) in the very near future.
I know I'm excited! :D

We are in our second year of using My Father's World. We really loved it last year, but this year (the first of their 5 year cycle) we are hating it. It just doesn't seem to flow like we'd like it to and seems really disjointed. We use MUS for math (and love it). So what do you do when you hate the curriculum you purchased for the year. I'm seriously to the point where I'd like to just scrap it and start over, but budget keeps us from doing so. I think there are some things we can salvage and just not use the lesson plans, but I really have no idea how to go about remedying this for the rest of the school year.
The boys are almost 9 and almost 7.
Thoughts for how to fix this mess without breaking the bank??

Lakisha D. - Twinsburg, OH
A nice addition to any meal.
James D. - Lakeville, MA
The chipotle sweet potato steak fries go with anything else I select to have for my meals. Until I purchased them the first time, I had never had anything with chipotle. I was sort of leary at first that they would be too spicy. But they aren't. They are just right. And no work involved. Just pop them into a preheated oven and enjoy.
Patricia J M. - Paw Paw, MI
Great. would like them to a little crip
Yvonne C. - Memphis, TN
they were really good
Heidi W. - Austin, TX
Delicious. Just the right size - enough potato which prevents it from baking up dry and stiff. They stay soft and chewy. There is an ample amount in
each bag. Very tasty and were enjoyed by all. Much better than the boring white fries. A different type of finger food which was a real hit with the party goers.
Sharyl C. - Schertz, TX
These are so delicious I want to keep them on hand all the time
Daurice H. - Pensacola, FL
These are great and pair very nicely with the pork chops.
Donna S. - Lewisburg, WV
I love the slighly spicey taste combined with the sweetness of the potato. A great partner with any entree from franks to salmon..
Clayton R. - Burke, VA
We were very pleased with the quality and taste of these fires, and would purchase them again.
Patrice R. - Lansdale, PA
Delicious! I think my husband would eat them every night and never get tired
of them. The flavor and texture are both excellent.

First of all, I want to express just what a great event the NCT was. I watched parts of around 25 games, and saw some great competition. Something like this was barely even a pipe dream when I was involved with the Truman State club back in '95.
Now, for my observations.
What impressed me:
- Organization. There was little question about whether games would run (mostly) on time, what rink anything was on, or in general what was going on. The weekend flowed really smoothly. The banners, trophies, and medals were quite nice. (Though, I'd've announced the outstanding players/goaltenders during the awards ceremony after each final.)
- Level of play. Outstanding competition. Fast skating, hard shooting, crisp passing, evasive moves, inpenetrable goaltending--this tournament had it all, and then some. The level of play has increased tenfold since last I saw collegiate play (before the founding of CRHL).
- Facility. All-American is nice facility. Two top-notch rinks. The locker rooms lacked a little bit, but everything else was exceptional. (Okay, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that the place stunk, mostly from all the gear and players. That, combined with fresh paint, was enough to almost knock me out on Friday.)
- Officiating. For a non-check event, there was a lot of physical play allowed. What made it worse is that calls were not consistent, even within the same game. Too many cross-checks, too many hooks, too many tackles--and this is coming from someone that likes a hard-hitting game, when it's allowed in the rules. If it's going to be no-check, make it no-check.
- Sportsmanship off the ice. There were times that I was impressed with other teams coming out and cheering on the other teams from their reigon, the same teams they'd battled all season. But, mostly, I was quite annoyed and dismayed by the sheer veracity of taunting that came from the stands, especially from the California teams. Grow up, guys.
Kudos again to CRHL for putting on a top-notch event. It was good to catch up with Andy MacMillan (sp?!) and Huck, and to meet Rebecca (and her fingernails). They took some time out of a very busy weekend to say hello and talk about the tournament and the state of the game.
Keep up the excellent work!

Hi, I just received my uzebox from sparkfun and I got some doubts.
How do I program it? do I need a specific interface?
can I program it using only a SD card? Is there a way to plug the card in my computer, program it and then put it into the board?
the board hasn't got a midi port as I thought it would. How can I connect it to a midi keyboard?
sorry for the basic questions, but I'm an absolute beginner in this area.

Tiny cracks have been found in tunnels at a nuclear plant in South Korea, increasing concerns about nuclear safety in the country following a recent scandal involving the use of unverified parts.
The reactor where the cracks were found will remain offline for weeks as regulators investigate the problem, putting extra strain on South Korea's already stretched power supply going into the winter months.
The utility Korean Hydro & Nuclear Power Co. (KHNP) said it detected microscopic cracks in six control rod tunnels at Unit 3 of its Yonggwang nuclear plant in the southwest of the country. Control rods are used to regulate the speed of nuclear reactions taking place inside reactors.
"The cracks are not serious and there is no risk of radiation leakage," said Jang Yong-jin, head of the mechanics department at KHNP.
The problem was discovered while the reactor was switched off for a regular 36-day maintenance period. But it will now stay out of service for a further 47 days as inspectors seek to determine the cause of the cracks, the South Korean Nuclear Safety and Security Commission said.
That deprives the national power grid of another source after operations were halted this month at two other reactors at the same complex to replace thousands of parts that were supplied with forged quality certificates.
Authorities warned at the time that halting those two reactors, Units 5 and 6, may result in "an unprecedented level" of strain on the nation's power supply. They account for about 5% of South Korea's total supply, according to the government.
Now, the situation appears even bleaker.
"Winter here is brutal, and I am now very concerned that the unexpected shutdowns of three nuclear units will cause power shortages," said Huh Kyun-young, a nuclear engineering professor at Kyung Hee University.
Experts have been warning about insufficient power supplies in South Korea for years, according to Huh.

Mini burgers recipe
Combine mince, water, tomato paste and breadcrumbs and mix well. Form 2 tablespoons of mixture into mini burgers, you will make about 20. Heat a no
Serving Size:
Beef, Budget, Dinner, Finger food, Kids food, Mince, Toddler, Hamburger
Special Info:
Egg free, Nut free
- 500g beef mince
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- ¼ cup breadcrumbs
- 8 slices cheese
- 250g cherry or grape tomatoes, sliced
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves
- 5 slices bread
Combine mince, water, tomato paste and breadcrumbs and mix well. Form 2 tablespoons of mixture into mini burgers, you will make about 20. Heat a non-stick frypan to medium heat and cook burgers in two batches. Cook for 3-4 minutes each side and turn only once.
Use scone cutters to cut 4 circles out of each slice of bread. Top each round of bread with a spinach leaf or two, a small piece of cheese, a burger and a slice of tomato. Serve with tomato sauce.
- I usually make half a batch of mini burgers and the rest 'adult size' to reduce the rolling and fiddling around with mini bits of food!
- I had some leftover bacon and onion in the fridge, so added these to the grown up burgers.
- And because it is Valentine's Day time of the year, I used my heart shape cutter for the bread. It never ceases to amaze me how a simple change of shape suddenly makes food appealing to my kids!

79-Year-Old Texas Man Fights Off Intruder With Karate
By Fred Martino
Police say a 79-year-old Houston-area man used a karate chop to disable an intruder and disarmed him until officers could get to his house.
Police in League City, a suburb, say Ervin Brittnacher reported noises outside his house awakened him about 6 a.m. Monday. Police Lt. Bruce Whitten says he went to the door and saw a man armed with a rifle. Whitten says Brittnacher hit him in the throat with the side of his hand, took his rifle and ordered him to sit down until police arrived.
Charles Brian Smith is charged with attempted burglary. The 38-year-old Alvin man is in Galveston County Jail with bond set at $40,000. Online jail records don't list an attorney for Smith.

6. | Arman | ||
noun: A fat Turkish elitist who talks about nothing except Turkey, his dick, bitches he's fucked, bitches he's going to fuck, bitches he sees and wants to fuck and dreams about fucking bitches. In addition, he believes that the Turkish people have invented everything, from sliced bread, to the flushing toilet. Often times, when you are talking to an Arman, you will notice that one of his hands if inside his pants, playing with his balls. He generally communicates simple concepts using a series of rudimentary grunts and hand gestures. If you ever encounter an Arman, take caution when bringing up historical events, politics, Armenia, Sweden, or anything that could be remotely connected to the Turkish race. Ex: "no dude, im not coming over to your house, i dont care how much booze you have, your roommate is totally an Arman"
"so i was flirting with this girl and i thought it would be cool to pull an Arman, but she didn't take kindly to my stories about how many bitches i fucked and how my dick is so big it puts bitches in the hospital, and it turns out, she doesn't even care about Turkey :" |

World-champion triathlete Barbara Edelston Peterson presents a guide to adapt and thrive for the more than one million people who face an extended period of bed rest.
(PRWEB) February 01, 2013
While we all may fantasize about a few days in bed for some good R&R, it's a completely different feeling when a doctor prescribes it. Truth be told, millions of people are prescribed bed rest from their physician. In the case of Barbara Edelston Peterson, she faced two episodes of bed rest for two completely different reasons: a challenging pregnancy and a serious accident. Barbara herself is a world-class triathlete. This winning attitude inspired her to use her unique experiences to help others confronting medical bed rest, turning recuperation into a productive and rewarding experience.
Making the Most of Bed Rest provides a one-of-a-kind guide to turning recuperation into a productive and rewarding experience. Find out how to transform a bed into "Command Central" — beat loneliness by staying connected to the world via family, friends, and the Internet; plan weekly and daily schedules of tasks and events; start personal projects like reading, learning a craft, or volunteering. At the time of each medical emergency, she needed something that did not exist: a resource explaining how to best survive and be productive in such restrictive conditions. Towards the end of her first term of bed rest, Peterson knew she had to share her experiences, many discovered through trial and error in her and her husband's journey to pioneer through bed rest. Making the Most of Bed Rest is the companion to prescribed immobility—a book loaded with compassion and courage, practical tips, and reminders of how to reframe your attitude to be positive and productive.
Barbara Edelston Peterson has dedicated her life to health and wellness, and improving the lives of people of all ages through exercise, self-awareness, and the power of positive thinking. Now fifty-six years old, she is an author, motivational speaker, sports psychologist, world-class triathlete, wife, and mother of two daughters. She is uniquely qualified to inspire and educate people recovering from physical limitations as a result of injury, illness, or pregnancy. Barbara is the author of The Bed Rest Survival Guide (1998), the founder of The Power to Exercise, and is a contributor to Ms. Fitness, Triathlete, and Women's Health.

"WOW! Congratulations to the author and also to her audience for being focused on the possibilities for healing! Bed rest—short- or long-term—is the process of adapting and healing. This book encourages both the patient and his/her support system to gain an adaptive attitude and be open to 'adventure' in every part of life, including times of unexpected physical confinement. Bed rest then becomes the right method, and a gift, to help cure medical challenges." —Craig N. Bash, M.D., M.B.A. Neuro-Radiologist and Associate Professor, Uniformed Services School of Medicine
"Peterson presents superb solutions for weathering new life conditions, and teaches us to utilize the opportunity for great productivity, and happiness. A must-read with every prescription of bed rest." —Ame Mahler Beanland, co-author of the New York times Bestseller NESTING: It's a Chick Thing and POSTCARDS FROM THE BUMP: A Chick's Guide to Getting to Know the Baby in Your Belly

As of late I've realised the importance of volume and therefore focused on spending more time at the tables. Since I have a full time job and have to take care of family life as well, this hasn't proven to be easy. Actually, it's quite exhausting and I'm at a point where it seems like serious part-time poker isn't possible - just because you can't realise the volume that's needed to achieve anything plus you have to juggle time in a mission impossible stylee. I was wondering if anybody has any advice in this area and what the best way to proceed for a part timer...Should I be considering things like more aggressive bankroll management? What to focus any study time on? Do we even bother with studying? etc.
Any help appreciated

Proper Venting and Drainage Hole Placement and Dimensions for Handrails
Paragraph numbers correspond with number references on the following illustration:
- External vent holes must be as close to the weld as possible and must be 25% the size of the internal diameter of the pipe, but not less than 3/8" (10 mm) in diameter.
- Internal holes should be the full internal diameter of the pipe for the best quality, lowest cost galvanizing.
- Vent holes in end sections or in similar sections must be 1/2" (13 mm) in diameter.
- Ends should be left completely open. Any device used for field-erection that prevents full openings on ends of horizontal rails and vertical legs should be galvanized separately and attached after galvanizing.

Top Movies 2008
September 12, 2008 by movieusa
5. Iron Man
Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is a billionaire, playboy, engineering genius. While demonstrating his companies latest missile in Afghanistan, he is severely wounded and captured. His captors want him to build a missile for them. Instead, he builds an armored suit. This suit saves his life from his injuries, and he uses it to escape.
Returning to the U.S., he continues work on a more advanced armored suit. He then discovers that his second in command at Stark enterprises has been selling their weapons to the insurgents. He returns to Afghanistan, armed in his new suit, to destroy the weapons and prevent his research from falling into the wrong hands.
4. The Counterfeiters
The counterfeiters is, surprisingly by its title, a WWII story. This is not your normal war movie. This movie takes a hard look at Jewish collaborations that went on with the Nazis. It is the true story of one of the most spectacular counterfeiting operation in history.
Named "operation Berhnard" the plan had shops set up in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp copying everything from I.D.'s to cash (mostly dollars and pounds).The plan was to cripple world economies with the influx of the phony money, the U.S. and Great Briton in particular. The plan doesn't succeed, and the movie explains why.
3. Man On Wire
This is a docudrama of a spectacular, and crazy achievement. It is the story of Phillipe Petit, a French street performer, who also has other exceptional skills. One of which happened to be as a wire-walker. In 1974 he decided he wanted to walk on a wire between the, then incomplete, World Trade Center Towers.
With a cast of characters enlisted to help him succeed, he starts planning and training to accomplish this mission. Using much of the real footage and pictures taken when this event actually happened, mixed with restaging of other events, director James Marsh recreates the scene in a brilliant manner. The task of setting up the wire without detection was very difficult. All the things involved are like an Oceans Eleven type of heist. This makes for a real exciting thriller.
2. Wall-E
Wall-e is an animation adventure story. What would happen if man eventually left the Earth, but didn't turn off all the robots? Wall-E (stands for Waste Allocation Load Lifter-Earth Class) has been left to clean up mankind's mess after they have left Earth. A few hundred years later, he run into another robot, Eve.
After showing Eve a plant that he has found, the adventures really begin. Eve deactivates until a huge ship comes to pick her up. Wall-e stowes away and follows along. Will the humans return to Earth?
1. The Dark Knight
Batman has a plan. With the help of Lt. Jim Gordon and D.A. Harvey Dent, Batman plans to knock the crime organizations out of business. After some success, they find things in Gotham are going out of control. The criminal genius behind the mayhem is none other than the Joker.
The Dark Knight is facing one of his biggest challenges as the Joker attacks the city with a vengeance. This is a much deeper and darker look at the Batman comics than in past Batman movies. Stars include Christian Bale (Batman-Bruce Wayne), and Heath Ledger as the Joker.

Created to increase charitable giving in south-central Louisiana, the Community Foundation of Acadiana will work with local, state and national entities, including nonprofit organizations, churches, government entities and private industry to build partnerships to ensure that charitable dollars raised for the Gustav South Louisiana Recovery Fund have the greatest impact.
In 2005, following Katrina and Rita, the Foundation distributed nearly $11 million in aid to this region. Once again, the Community Foundation of Acadiana stands ready to help attract and direct charitable dollars to those agencies and entities providing hurricane relief and recovery.
"It is hard to imagine that almost three years to the day Hurricane Katrina devastated southern Louisiana, our community faces a similar challenge. Relying on our expertise gained from previous disasters, the Gustav South Louisiana Recovery Fund has been created to help South Louisiana recover. We encourage all those who wish to help the people affected by Gustav to make a generous contribution to this Fund," said Raymond Hebert, Executive Director of the Community Foundation of Acadiana.
Donations to the Gustav South Louisiana Recovery Fund can be made online (www.cfacadiana.org) or by calling a toll-free number 1-866-627-3440.
About The Community Foundation of Acadiana
The Community Foundation of Acadiana was established in 2000 to encourage and enhance charitable giving in south-central Louisiana. The Foundation's primary service area is an eight-parish area in south-central Louisiana including Acadia, Evangeline, Iberia, Lafayette, St. Landry, St. Martin, St. Mary and Vermillion Parishes. It should be noted that while this is the primary service area, this does not limit the Foundation's ability to receive gifts or make grants outside this area. In its first seven years, the Community Foundation of Acadiana has attained assets of $21 million. The Foundation has met the National Standards for operational quality, donor service and accountability in the community foundation sector. They are incompliance with the National Standards of U.S. Community Foundations Program administered by the Council on Foundations, a membership body of more than 2,000 grantmaking foundations and giving programs worldwide. This affirms a commitment to financial security, transparency and accountability.
About the Gustav South Louisiana Recovery Fund
The Gustav South Louisiana Recovery Fund will help meet the immediate and long-term needs of the region impacted by Gustav. Donors can make a donation online at www.cfacadiana.org or by calling a toll-free number 1-866-627-3440. In an effort to remain responsive during the hours of the storm, the Community Foundation of Acadiana has partnered with a foundation based in Kansas City, Greater Horizons, to administer the Community Foundation of Acadiana's Gustav South Louisiana Recovery Fund. All money given will support hurricane relief efforts.

This Week in Independent Musicianry: Q&A
- by Nicole
Money earned this week: $529, but I also have $384 in client income due that I totally want, please pay up.
Shows played this week: None
Next show: Tomorrow (Friday) in Phoenix! I will barely be in Phoenix for 24 hours, but I will be playing the Phoenix Comicon Captain's Cantina at 9 p.m.
Next show after that: Wednesday May 29 in Portland at Shaker and Vine. 8 p.m.
Next show after that: None for two whole weeks (not until Victory Tour), and I am kind of glad of it.
What else am I doing? Copywriting, copyediting, trying to put together a talk that I'm giving on Sunday, and figuring out how to get Giant Robot Album into your arms.
What's the talk? Can I go? Wish you could, but it's invite-only. I'll probably put my notes online.
Okay, where is Giant Robot Album? Giant Robot Album is continuing to slip behind schedule in a way that makes my project management heart gently weep. I am at the "no seriously these are the LAST EDITS we can make" stage. It doesn't help that I am traveling way too much; often, I am the literal roadblock in the project timeline.
But doesn't The Internet mean you can just make the album online or something? With… like… version control? Not exactly. It helps if people are in the same room.
So how much are you traveling? More than I would like, right now. I wrote a song two years ago about how I wanted to go on tour every other month, and I have somehow made that dream come true.
But isn't that the goal of independent musicianry? I think it is one of the goals. Traveling and musicianry go hand-in-hand. But I am starting to get that Bilbo-stretched feeling. I am also beginning to wonder if perpetual travel perhaps shouldn't be the goal of my independent musicianry.
Okay, so if travel isn't the goal, what is? Well, "travel" was never the goal. "Connecting with music" is the goal, but since it happens on a one-to-one, human-to-human basis, travel is inevitable.
What about a residency in a city, so you didn't have to travel so much? Been there, did that for a year. The first month I had a full house. The last month I had zero people. Turns out when you play the same city every month, it gets dull.
What about making good music and selling it online? Wait, people pay for music online???? Because I am a storyteller and a comedian, I always sell more in person than I do online. (Also because people don't like to pay for music online but they do like to buy CDs if they enjoyed your show. Usually they're not actually doing it for the CDs; it's more like a way to thank you for your work.)
So is there a way to be an indie musician without continuous travel? This seems to be one of the larger questions in my brain right now.
Does that mean that when you travel to see us, you're all secretly resentful and everything? Nope. When the show starts, all that's there is me and you. And I love that part; the music, you singing along, and the thing that we create together. And then afterwards I go to the airport and THEN I'm secretly resentful. But it's not of you. It's of the airport.
What else are you thinking about? I think I have three major questions right now:
1. How to tell bigger stories
2. How to perform without constant travel
3. How to write and perform music and be something else
Wait, you mean something else like a day job? Um… I've had a freelance day job since last November. What I mean is I thought I wanted to hang my entire identity on being the voice of Hello, The Future!
And that's kind of hollow, in the end.
But the catch, at least in my brain, is that if I start rounding out the other parts of my life I'll have less time to spend traveling the country and sharing music with you.
It sounds like you want to quit. Are you going to quit? Because I already invested in your Kickstarter and you promised me a Firefly EP this fall. I don't want to quit. (And you're going to get your Firefly EP.) But I do want to step away from the travel cycle for a minute, to gain a freshness in the same way that you suddenly understand a problem when you take five minutes to go outside and get some fresh air.
Anything else? Only that it's late and I have to be on a plane early tomorrow morning. How about I say goodnight now and write more next week.

Every Saturday from now through December 22, the gas-powered street cars will loop around a mile-long route, starting at Boerum Place, and run east along Livingston Street, then down Flatbush Avenue, passing the Barclays Center.
The trolley will swing back around, heading west through Fulton Street, passing the Fulton Mall and Junior's Restaurant.
"We've got a historian on board talking about everything from architecture, the history of transportation to now the new retail that's popping up," said Katie Lyon of Downtown Brooklyn Partnership.
"The livability of New York is in Brooklyn, so if people want to see how people are living and see the great old 19th Century neighborhoods, they have to come to Brooklyn," said Joe Svehlak, a tour guide. "Plus, we're a bunch of characters."
Organizers say if the pilot program takes off, the trolleys could become a permanent fixture in the neighborhood.

This marks the 89th anniversary of Rome's official Veterans Day ceremony in the historic cemetery.
The ceremony will feature 92 year-old Bob Kerr, a Pearl Harbor survivor from Atlanta.
Kerr has made it his personal mission to tell anyone who will listen about what happened on Oahu on Dec. 7, 1941.
Originally from Punxsutawney, Pa., Kerr had hoped to play professional baseball, but after realizing that his skills were a little short of major league levels, he enlisted in the Army Air Corps. Kerr said he was relieved at being assigned to the Pacific because the war at that time was taking place in Europe.
Close to 48,000 men and women were based at Pearl Harbor when the Japanese pulled off their stunning air raid. The Americans lost 3,435 casualties, more than 180 aircraft, 8 battleships, 3 light cruisers and several other vessels. Today, significantly less than 2,000 of those veterans are still alive.
Kerr, a fresh-faced soldier, was in his barracks that morning and has told audiences far and wide that he heard the Japanese Zero's that morning but like so many others, assumed that it was U.S. Navy aircraft he was hearing.
Kerr, his company clerk, was huddled over a duty roster when the barracks was hit by the Japanese gunners and a sergeant standing right next to him was killed.
After the attack, Kerr served as a B-25 gunner and flew more than 40 missions. He made a career of service to the U.S. Army and retired in 1963.
Twenty years ago, Kerr and several of his veteran brethren returned to Honolulu where they met with a group of Japanese pilots and crewmembers. It was tense at first, but after one of the Americans walked over and placed a traditional Hawaiian lei around the neck of one of the Japanese, the former enemies were able to come together.
The Sunday ceremonies will also feature a Col. Harland Sanders look-alike, Johnny Miller, of Rome, performing the National Anthem. The Model High School band will provide music before and during the ceremony.
Following the traditional 21-gun salute, white doves will be released over the cemetery.
The commemoration will be followed by a luncheon at the Shanklin-Attaway American Legion Post 5 on Shorter Avenue.

High quality RNA is required for many molecular biology techniques. The isolation and use of purified RNA in the laboratory is complicated by the fact that, chemically and biologically, RNA is significantly more labile than DNA. The choice and optimization of RNA purification methods are important for successful isolation of quality RNA and consistent performance of downstream applications. In order to avoid damage or loss of RNA, caution should be exercised to avoid nuclease contamination of the RNA samples during preparation and handling.

We are an organization dedicated to the enhancement and development of the Residential, Retail, Commercial and Industrial Life of our Gowanus neighborhood. We are working towards attracting new businesses to the area and assisting existing businesses with expansion plans that will result in much needed job creation in the area, thereby reducing the current high level of unemployment. We plan to keep members informed and updated about incentive programs and tax abatement programs available to businesses.
Brief History of Gowanus
The Gowanus is a neighborhood in the borough of Brooklyn, in NYC. The neighborhood runs along side and surrounds the Gowanus Canal. Since the 1860's the Gowanus area has been a center for industrial and shipping activity, with the use of the canal. Unfortunately, the water of the canal has been severely polluted due to not only decades of industrial use and extensive coal gas manufacturing during the late 19th century, but also the raw sewage and storm water that flows into the canal when the treatment plant is overwhelmed. Now, the Gowanus community has been in touch with the city and state trying to bring the full power of the Clean Water Act to bear on the environmental conditions left behind in this once thriving urban/industrial waterway.
