To mark International Day against Homophobia and Transphobia, members of Yangon's LGBT community gathered at Zephyr Park on Tuesday and called for an end to discrimination, especially in the form of an antiquated law making it illegal to have "unnatural" sex.
Known as article 377, the legislation is literally antiquated, dating back to colonial times.
"LGBTs were discriminated in education, health and job opportunities," activist Hla Myat Htun told the crowd of about 200 people. "They are suffering hatred. So we should make public awareness for that. Government should also amend this law looking forward to provide standard for human rights."
The new National League for Democracy-led government has made no indication that this is on their list of laws that need to go.
Speaking openly about these issues is relatively new in Myanmar, which only started celebrating IDAHOT in 2013.
The event yesterday included stalls promoting LGBT awareness and musical performances from members of the community.
It also came with a slogan for the year: "mental health and well-being."

Tequila loves me and it seems to find its way into my possession on more than a dozen occasions. Today, I have my hands on a bottle of Tequila Semental Silver, which is a 100% de Agave tequila with a perfectly clear presentation. I'm already excited, I poured the silver liquid into the glass and can already smell the warm scents of agave and sweet fruits filling the air.
The notes of sweet pineapple, white pepper, rich vanilla bean and spices hit the nose from almost a foot away from the glass. Definitely heavy on sweet with a small hint of saltiness. This intense sweetness really masks any alcohol burn in the nasal passages, which can be common when you really dip your nose into a glass of most spirits but not with Semental; I don't get alcohols on the nose.
The taste is light and fluffy, not extremely thick and has an intense front-end sweetness that crawls to the middle of the tongue and into the finish leaving a slight burning sensation. The mid-palate has a bit of spicy vanilla notes but does not have the sea-salt like taste in the initial nosing. The aftertaste reminds me of a mexican dish, perhaps with a dash of lime juice and dried fruits.
I consider this a great dynamic tequila that would work well as an introductory sipping tequila while offering huge flavor impact to a cocktail that calls for a silver. First, the flavors are not muted or dull, thus allowing them to arise outside the confines of a cocktail heavy with juices and other potent alcohols. Secondly, the flavors presented in Semental allow new tequila drinkers to understand the true diversity and sweetness of a quality tequila.
Of course, tequila enthusiasts will love the sweet scents vanillas and often-found spicy white pepper. An avid drinker may find the finish disappears too quickly on the palate or tends to be a bit lighter in mouth-feel compared to a few other quality tequilas of slightly higher price point. Of course, arriving at a suggested retail price of USD $39.99 is a very good deal when you compare it to the over-marketed over-hyped brands that pride themselves on lack of flavor–tequila's that I believe ruin the history and integrity of a good blanco.
In my opinion, Semental provides drinkers with one message in its spirit: "You don't have to be a tasteless and scentless tequila anymore. It's time to grow up and see what tequila is all about."

Best Nintendo Switch accessories of 2020
Supercharge Your Switch
The Nintendo Switch is one of the best consoles you can get. But even Nintendo's genre-bending console can benefit from some Nintendo Switch accessories. So before you start exploring the Galar region in Pokémon Sword or Shield or taking on the online competition in Overwatch, you should check out some of the best Nintendo Switch accessories for upping your game.
Perhaps you need an extra Switch controller for multiplayer games, or a case or portable charger if you own the older Switch with the shorter battery life. There are also plenty of great Switch-compatible gaming headsets for communicating in competitive games like Fortnite and Rocket League.
Note that some of the items on the list, such as SD cards, headsets and chargers, will work on both the normal Nintendo Switch as well as the Nintendo Switch Lite. However, if you need cases and stands specific to the smaller models, we've also rounded up the best Nintendo Switch Lite accessories.
Cable Matters USB-C Two-Pack
If you want to charge your Nintendo Switch on the go, you'll need a spare USB-C cable. This Cable Matters set gets you two braided, 3.3-foot USB-C cords for just a few bucks, providing a cheap, durable option for juicing up your system wherever you are.

RDS Game Traveler Deluxe Travel Case
RDS Industries' Game Traveler is one of the most popular Nintendo Switch cases out there, and for good reason: it's durable, affordable and loaded with features.

Even better, you'll get two bonus programmable rear buttons for getting a competitive edge in games like Fortnite and Overwatch.
8BitDo Wireless Bluetooth Adapter
Why shell out for a pricey Pro Controller when you can use the PS4 or Xbox pad you already own? 8BitDo's handy Wireless Bluetooth Adapter makes that possible, allowing you to connect PS4, PS3, Xbox One (Bluetooth models only), Wiimote and Wii U Pro Controllers to your Nintendo Switch.

The Sling Pouch isn't cheap (and is best used with WaterField's $19 Taco for maximum protection), but it's well worth the premium for those who want a dependable case that's both stylish and durable.

PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller
Of the many solid alternatives to Nintendo's Pro Controller, PowerA's Enhanced Wireless Controller just might be the best. For $20 less than Nintendo's official pad, you get a sturdy, responsive controller complete with motion control support as well as extra programmable buttons for getting that extra edge in Fortnite or Splatoon 2. The snazzy red color schemes certainly don't hurt either. PowerA's pad is held back a bit by its lack of rumble and reliance on AA batteries, but those are small sacrifices to make for its affordable price tag.
If you need something even cheaper, PowerA's $25 Wired Switch Controller also delivers great performance for the price.
Nintendo Labo: VR Kit
Nintendo's cardboard Labo kits allow you to transform your Switch into an RC car, a piano, and now, a full-on virtual reality headset.

And thanks to the VR plaza, you can even make your own virtual reality games.
If you want to get your feet wet, the $40 Labo Starter Kit gets you the headset and blaster. If you want to go all out, the full $80 Labo VR Kit includes additional sets such as the bird, camera and elephant viewfinders.
Anker PowerCore+ 26800 Battery Pack
Finding a battery pack that can actually keep a Switch juiced up is harder than it seems. Or at least it was.

This adapter allows you to connect an Ethernet cable to your Switch, so you won't have to worry about spotty Wi-Fi causing you defeat in the last minute.

Hi Rayne, do you recommend any particular shoes for toddlers still learning to walk? I have a 17 month old whose only just started walking but she needs shoes for public places etc
Hi Laura,
I'm a massive fan of babies and toddlers in bare feet but you are right, there are some occasions where they need to wear shoes.
Just so you know, bare feet is the best way for babies to learn how to walk, learn about hot/cold ground and all in all it's just better for their foot development to have no shoes on. Arch's and heels in kids shoes are an absolute no no. It really annoys me how many kids I see walking around in shoes that are doing serious damage to their bodies. I had a little rant a few weeks ago here. "My 4yr old will not be wearing heels, thank you".
I didn't put shoes on my babies feet until I absolutely had to. Some of the babies shoes getting around are ultra cute!! But there is absolutely no purpose for them other than to look good (unless there is a medical condition). That being said, socks were my go to just to keep the kids tootsies warm during the winter months.
I also have a 17 months old needing to wear shoes, so bearing in mind that barefoot is best, I always try and put him in shoes with as little support as possible. It simulates barefoot conditions and is much better for their development.
Here are a few of my favourites.
There are fabulous shoes that look like socks with a leather sole. I can't find my pair or remember what the name is but you will know them when you see them. Does anyone else remember the name?
Let me know how you go. Thanks for touching base.

Gerhard Gschwandtner is an absolute leader in pulling together and interviewing great sales leaders and this Hacking Sales Real Time video is no exception. If you are looking for sales techniques that can help you build and grow your business or you are a sales manager looking for ideas for sales training or sales coaching spending 8 minutes to watch this video on sales ideas will be time well spent.
You will hear from four sales experts: Mark Hunter, Mike Weinberg, Jeb Blount and Anthony Iannarino. Individually they are all great, together they are truly remarkable.
Here are some of the key sales techniques and sales training ideas they shared in the video:
The number one point of engagement and connecting with a customer is in person (87%), with social media coming in 5th and only 44% as effective.
If you want to be a trusted advisor, you must be able to challenge prospects. Your prospects need to hear the truth, and salespeople need the will (guts) to tell their prospects the truth.
Be careful of what you hear from "sales experts" that tell you the cold calling is dead, or some other part of sales is dead. There are two forces at play. Your own confirmation bias and the fact the "sales expert" may be selling you on their process. So, if they say cold calling is dead, use our inbound sales funnel and you hate cold calling guess what you are going to want to do.
The reason fewer people are answering is because fewer people are calling, not that fewer people are picking up the phone.
There is no silver bullet, there is no sales hack to replace prospecting. The technology helps and it makes parts of the sales process easier, but it does not replace prospecting in person.
Jeb Blount makes a call and it is awesome (watch the video) and sells his book!
Once you have had a chance to watch this video, be sure to subscribe to Gerhard's Selling Power TV and you will have a steady stream of sales ideas for your sales coaching and sales training programs.

We used Suzanne to sell a home and purchase a new home and both experiences were great. What we liked about her the most was how real she was as a person. She was straight forward but with a caring heart. She also knew the market in conversation and always backed it up with data. She gave us excellent advice on what was needed to sell our home (it sold in 4 days with multiple offers). In addition, she pointed out the positive/negative we overlooked when buying our house now. We would (and have) recommend her to others and would use her again. We highly recommend Suzanne!
Suzanne Prince has a thorough knowledge of the market space and helped me prepare two separate types of properties for sale -- A Brier Creek Country Club Condominium and A Single Family Four Bedroom Executive Lot. Both of these properties, she was an advocate for the buyer and worked closely with me from preparation of the home for sale, review of comparable homes in the Raleigh area and advertising and marketing these properties. She has a thorough knowledge of the real estate market and sound understanding and sense of what is required to get your home ready including home preparation and repair checklists, home moving, staging your home, and completing the final sale. I relied on Suzanne's recommendations from start to final sale of both of these properties. She and her team have the full set of skills to keep the buyer informed throughout the process of getting your home ready and priced right.
Suzanne Prince is a gem in the world of Real Estate. If I could have given her higher marks on the Negotiation Skills, I would have. My listing received 3 offers in the first 36 hours it was on the market, and she was simply masterful in the negotiations. I thought more than once that I was glad I was on the same side as she was. Just as importantly, her unflappable nature brings calm to your world when your world is being turned upside down. Best of all, she is a hoot and a holler to be around- she just makes you grin. I am not one to give out 5 stars very often- she deserves each and every one. Use Suzanne- she simply Rocks the House.

The Panasonic Solid Shine laser technology can be found in more and more of the Panasonic range. It is easy to see that the laser light source will become the norm for installation projectors, replacing the traditional projector lamp. The laser technology offers a number of advantages compared to the conventional lamp and this technology has been very well implemented by Panasonic. Enough time has passed since release to prove themselves in a variety of installations.
A company using the laser light source projectors in their installations are FUN WITH BALLS GmbH from Munich in Germany. Using a Panasonic PT-RW620BE with the optional ET DLE085 lens, the centre wall of a squash court can come to life! InteractiveSquash supports different game modes, which individually challenge the player each time they play bringing significantly more variety and action into the game. This great idea was even awarded an ISPO Brand New Award. You can see more about InteractiveSquash here:
The Panasonic laser projector, together with the sensors and the software can add up to an high initial cost, so it's crucial to make sure that the Squash Court is available to the player long term. Therefore, a highly reliable projector is a must. Thanks to the laser technology, the light source offers a running time of up to 20,000 hours. They are low-maintenance and allow for use 24 hours a day, 7 days of the week. This leads to an attractive TCO value ( Total Cost of Ownership ), which benefits both the operators and the customers.
In terms of reliability, a Panasonic laser projector is destined for such an application. In addition to the 24/7 operation, which is supported by a lower heat development by means of liquid cooling, the encapsulated optical unit ensures low sensitivity to dust. The projector does not have to be cleaned every week, which saves money and time. If one of the laser diodes in the projector fails, the light output only drops by about 6%, which is hardly perceptible in the projection. So even if a few laser diodes were to fail, the projection can still carry on!
Another advantage of the Panasonic laser projectors is their good picture quality. The color representation is nearly comparable with that of a 3-chip DLP projector which are significantly more expensive. You get a balanced picture representation, which shows the content in natural colors. Light degradation is also barely a factor, while a lamp after several hundred hours shows a visible drop in the light output, this is very slow but continuous with a laser projector. This means that the degradation of light intensity after several thousand hours of operation is barely, if at all noticeable. This ensures a constant, consistently good image display.
The flexibility of the projectors is particularly important for the interactiveSquash install. Thanks to the interchangeable lenses, they can vary the distance and image size, which makes them suitable for the most diverse situations. In addition, they can be rotated 360 degrees on the vertical and horizontal axes allowing for a whole host of new perspectives for a projection. Projections on the floor and on the ceiling are also possible making it easy to implement even more complex installations.
When you look at all of these features, you soon realise that FUN WITH BALLS GmbH 's decision to use Panasonic projectors is absolutely right, as the projectors are the perfect partner for such a project.

Traditional Free Range Chicken
Our free range chickens are sourced from a local farm, Cracknell's. Jeff and his family have been farming in a traditional sustainable way for over half a century.
All their birds are free range, having unlimited access to 22 acres of grassy Somerset pasture. Birds come onto the farm as day old chicks and remain on the farm throughout their lives. They are processed by Jeff and a small team before being delivered to us.
Cracknell's chickens are slowly grown and therefore are naturally moist, lean and taste like chicken should do. With no additives or added water there is no shrinkage during cooking. Our customers say Jeff's chicken tasted like chicken did when they were children.

HSBC Scottish Export Awards - Finalist!
16th February 2017
We are delighted that we have been short listed for three awards at the 2017 HSBC Scottish Export awards:
- High growth exporter of the year
- Most entrepreneurial exporter of the year
- Small exporter of the year
We have seen significant year-on-year growth in global exports and we are now in an excellent position to continue expanding in the Gulf of Mexico region and also embed ourselves further in the Middle Eastern supply chain.
Coming on the back of our shortlisting for export achievement at the Offshore Achievement Awards - this new recognition is a reflection of the hard work and dedication of our team and the innovative technology of our products.
Mike Churchill, CEO and commercial director, said: "I am very proud that Churchill can be held up as a genuine Scottish export success story. In 2016, we decided to open a regional hub in the UAE, and within the space of a year we have already exceeded revenue targets by a substantial margin. This success has led to further investment in the region - with additional workshop and talent resources – so that we can continue to build on our achievements.
"Our export success has been driven by the engineering innovation of our products. Our tools are activated faster, are more reliable and have greater application than any of our competitors. We are constantly seeking to improve and develop our technology, and our product pipeline for the year ahead is very exciting."
The HSBC Scottish Export Awards – in association with Scottish Enterprise, - recognise exporting excellence in emerging, wealth-creating companies that are selling products, services and expertise on an international level.
Winners will be announced at a black-tie dinner at the Hilton Hotel in Glasgow on 22 March.

Dim Sum in Hong Kong
Hong Kong is a smorgasbord of cultural sights, sounds, smells and tastes, a diverse mix of Cantonese and ex-British influence. It's a massive city with impressive architecture; a contrast of modern skylines with historic Chinese neighborhoods, teahouses and temples. The city is constantly alive, buzzing with millions of people living and working; the countless galleries, restaurants and bars throb with a heartbeat pulse in a city so diverse and so roughly beautiful.
Food is very closely linked with the heart of Cantonese culture, and a metropolis such as Hong Kong is the perfect place to try it all. Dim sum is a traditional Chinese "snack", served in small, bite-sized portions and often carted around the restaurant fully cooked so customers can just choose what they want then and there. Its said to have originated in teahouses along the Silk Road, where travelers and rural farmers needed a place to rest. It was thought inappropriate to serve large portions of food with tea, so these small plate bites of dim sum were developed.
In Hong Kong, dim sum is served as early as five in the morning, and it's customary for the elderly to gather together and eat dim sum after morning exercises! So what is actually the best dim sum to eat? Here's a breakdown:
Gao (dumplings) are ingredients wrapped in a rice flour skin, with fillings including meat and vegetables, shrimp, Chinese mushrooms, and the most popular, barbecued pork. Taro dumplings are made with mashed taro, stuffed with mushrooms, shrimp and pork then deep-fried. Spring rolls are filled with vegetables and meats then deep fried inside a thin flour skin. Another type of dumpling, lotus leaf rice, is a lotus leaf stuffed with rice, egg yolk, mushroom, water chestnut and meat then steamed. Spare ribs and steamed meatballs are some other popular meat dim sum options. Congee is a thick, sticky rice porridge served with various savory options such as duck and pork.
On the sweet side, there are plenty of pastry-like treats to end your dim sum meal. Jin deui is a chewy dough filled with sweet red bean paste, rolled in sesame seeds then deep fried. For a more creamy texture, try Dou fu fa which is silky tofu topped with a sweet jasmine or ginger syrup, or mango pudding topped with evaporated milk.

Jalapeño Stir Fried Pork is full of flavor and spice, and with a side of rice it's a deliciously filling meal.
By Carolyng Gomes
This is my take on Asian style pork stir fry. I love taking dishes and adapting them to the latin palate. Using jalapeños, a classic spicy pepper, really helps bring out the sweetness of the bell peppers and onions. The use of pork shoulder is the big ingredient. Used more often for pernil, it is great to find new uses for ingredients you may already have on hand so shaving the pernil for this dish just brings a whole other string of possibilities with this one cut of meat. I love doing that.
Cooking should be fun and easy. To me it shouldn't involve ingredients that are too exotic or specific. It is all about using what you have in different ways and creating a new plate you can enjoy again and again. Sure it is great fun to experiment with new flavors and textures and ingredients, but for day to day life it is about kicking monotony to the curb and spicing up what you have on hand. And what you have on hand, I assure, is a lot of delicious waiting to happen!
This dish is colorful, flavorful and easy to prepare. Enough said.
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp black pepper, fresh cracked
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes
- 3 tbsp water
- 1 lb pork shoulder, sliced thin
- 3 tbsp avocado oil
- 2 jalapeños, sliced
- 1 cup onion, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup red bell pepper, sliced
- In a medium bowl whisk together cornstarch, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes and water until a batter forms.
- Add thin sliced pork to cornstarch mixture and mix, ensuring each piece of pork is evenly coated.
- Preheat avocado oil in a pan on medium-high heat. Lay pork in one layer in pan. Cook until golden, about 7 minutes, then flip and cook for another 5 minutes or until cooked through.
- Remove pork from pan and set aside.
- Add jalapeño, onion, garlic and red bell pepper to pan. Sauté for 5 minutes, until onion is translucent and peppers are tender.
- Add pork back to pan and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Serve hot.

Magic takes many forms. The ancient Egyptians explained the night by suggesting that the goddess Nut swallowed the sun. The Vikings believed a rainbow was the gods bridge to earth. These are magical, extraordinary tales. But there is another kind of magic, and it lies in the exhilaration of discovering the real answers to these questions. It is the magic of reality science.

Bereavement Set
This is a very small bereavement set I'd begun a while ago and never finished. I've made several of these sets. They are difficult, emotionally, to make so I don't make many. The pattern for the gown can be found here, the bonnet here, and the booties pattern is here.

New Books
I have hold requests at my library for these newly published books.
Cute Knits for Baby Feet: Adorable Projects for Newborns to 4 Year Olds by Sue Whiting has 30 really cute patterns. The other book is Baby Beanies: Happy Hats to Knit for Little Heads by Amanda Keeys. While these patterns were written for newborn and older babies, I'm certain there will be some patters I can adapt.

I am hoping this will jump start my knitting again. The contest runs from September 29th to November 30th, so there's plenty of time if you're interested in signing up.

Due to being a popular game in an extremely popular series, there is a lot of merchandise out there related to FFVIII. But now that the game is well over ten years old, it's become more difficult to find certain merchandise. For these two reasons, I will focus this guide on my own Rinoa-specific collection, and I will try to provide links to stores where these things may be purchased. Otherwise, names and companies are included to allow you to search more easily on eBay (and other shops) for these items.
Bandai Extra Soldier
The Extra Soldier action figures were commonly found in toy and gaming stores during Final Fantasy VIII's release. The Rinoa figure features a good level of detail (for being a cheap toy), including a Blaster Edge that could be removed from her arm. There was also a boxed set of several characters released that came with an Angelo figure, whose painting is not accurate to the game.
Kotobukiya Statue
I frequently see this called 1/6 scale figure as well. These Kotobukiya figures were also sold in gaming and toy stores after FFVIII's release. They've become somewhat rare and, despite the cheap quality, can get extremely expensive in auctions. Overall they are not really well worth the ridiculous prices of $50, $80, or even $100!
Coca Cola Bottle Cap Figurines
Coca Cola released several figurines of Rinoa. There is a red 'crystal' Rinoa chibi on a red base, a Rinoa chibi on a red base, a Rinoa on a red base, and a Rinoa on a yellow base. There may also be some other variations that I have not found. The chibi and crystal chibi seem to be the most common to come up in auction. Although I originally purchased the yellow base Rinoa on eBay, I can no longer find it.
Eraser & Pencil Topper
A set of Final Fantasy VIII erasers/rubbers and pencil toppers were released in Japan as capsule toys. I purchased the full set at an anime con, but I have also seen them come up on eBay under 'gashapon' and 'Bandai'. The eraser is a green barrel with a Rinoa wrapper around it, and the pencil topper is a chibi Rinoa on a blue base
Gashapon Capsule Toy
A multi-piece Gashapon toy of Rinoa could be won from capsule machines in Japan for awhile. The figure is actually surprisingly detailed for such a small, cheap toy. Rinoa is part of a set of Final Fantasy VIII characters, including a Chocobo, and aside from cons I've only seen them for sale on eBay.
Banpresto Figure
Trading Arts Statue & Chibi
Original Soundtrack (OST) [Tracklisting]
The FFVIII OST is a four-disc set containing music from the game.
Piano Collections [Tracklisting] The Piano Collections has piano arrangements of various FFVIII songs. This is probably my favorite album out of all those listed here, because I'm partial to the piano. This is certainly a high quality collection with some great songs!
Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec [Tracklisting]
Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec features fully orchestrated arrangements of several FFVIII songs. This CD is a great collection with some of FFVIII's best songs like Love Grows.
Eyes on Me Single
This CD contains Eyes on Me---both instrumental and as performed by Faye Wong---as well as one of Faye Wong's original songs called Red Bean. The CD these tracks are stored on is, unfortunately, tiny, which makes it difficult to use with some CD players. Otherwise, all three tracks are beautiful.
Distant Worlds I & II [Tracklisting]
These two soundtracks feature music from every Final Fantasy game and are a collection of songs from the Distant Worlds: Music From Final Fantasy symphony (which, by the way, is amazing---if you ever have a chance to see it, I really recommend it!). Both CDs are an excellent sampling of symphonic tracks from the whole series, with some lovely versions of FFVIII favorites.

I've been in an ice cream mood for weeks. Ever since I wrote a trio of ice cream stories for Image, Around Concord and Best of Burlington magazines. It was great fun discussing all thing ice cream with some of New England's best ice cream makers, athletes, musicians and comedians.
It was cold and rainy yesterday but I couldn't help myself. I had to get out my ice cream maker. Anyone who knows me knows that I am a bit of a gadget girl. I love playing with kitchen tools and gadgets. In spite of the dreary chill or maybe because of it, I spent an hour or two working on a new Tiramisu Ice Cream recipe.
It's still not quite ready for prime time but I had fun playing with my ice cream maker.
Bon appétit!
Are you looking for an excuse to buy an ice cream maker? Try my recipe for Strawberry Gelato. Look for more when the summer heats up!
Quick Tip … make sure your ice cream, gelato or sorbet mixture is VERY cold before you put it into the ice cream maker. I usually put the mix in the freezer for 30-60 minutes to make sure it is cold enough.
Oh…and just so you know, no cash or goods passed hands in return for this post. I'm just a girl who loves gadgets and actually uses them. I've had the ice cream maker for years. I bought it at Costco or BJ's because I'm a sucker for anything priced at $39.95.
I hope you like this new feature. More or less once a week I'll bring you into my kitchen for tips or a gander at tools. On the other hand, some weeks I may feel the need to share some gorgeous or fun photograph or inspirational quote. It's a work in progress … and this is only the first installment! Let me know what you think.
More Tips, Tricks & Tools
What's your favorite ice cream? I'd love to hear from you! Let's get a conversation going. To make a comment, just click on Comments below. I'd be delighted to add you to the growing list of blog subscribers. To subscribe: just scroll back up, fill in your email address and click on the Sign Me Up button. You'll get an email asking you to confirm your subscription … confirm and you will automatically receive a new story and recipe every week.

Mudhoney sees 'Digital Garbage' in our digital age
The voice on the other end of the phone says, "Sub Pop warehouse …"
Thus begins a conversation with Mark Arm, singer and guitarist in Mudhoney, which remains the lean dog that has outlived most other creatures that wandered around Seattle starting 30 years ago. Mudhoney didn't cash in on the grunge trend in the '90s, which meant no windfall. So Arm works at the label that has released his music for decades. Of Mudhoney, he says, "I don't think of it as a career. It's not how any of us survive or pay food or rent or what have you. Nobody's putting kids through college with Mudhoney."
No grunge windfall also meant no grunge albatross. Mudhoney's sound was always rooted in a more raw-boned rock 'n' roll sound, and the group never took itself so seriously as to be a wet towel. Trends come and go, and Mudhoney every few years puts out another set of sharp Mudhoney songs. The latest is "Digital Garbage," which finds Arm, guitarist Steve Turner, bassist Guy Maddison and drummer Dan Peters presenting songs with a little more snarl to go with the sneer, a reaction to cultural trends and happenings that confound, irritate and spark ridicule. Arm discussed the album as well as his long-gone days as an Eagle Scout.
Q: Something about the vibe of this record reminded me of a conversation I had with George Carlin a few months before he died. He was in a state about how we've organized ourselves all wrong. And planned for a miserable now instead of thinking about the future. It wasn't funny, per se …
When: 8 p.m. Friday
Where: White Oak Music Hall, 2915 N. Main
Details: $27; 713-237-0370, whiteoakmusichall.com
Meet and greet/album signing
When: 7 p.m. Friday
Where: Cactus Music, 2110 Portsmouth
Details: 713-526-9272, cactusmusictx.com
A: Right, but his humor came from that. He didn't sit around all day making jokes. He thought, 'Oh, the world, holy (expletive) …' And yeah, we get into some of that, the ways we're making the planet uninhabitable, for our form of life and others. There'll be something left in the future, but nobody knows what. I was reading the other day about a massive insect extinction. You think those things will live on no matter what. But if the insects die out, birds and other animals have no food. It gets complicated quickly.
Q: A lot of punk or post-punk in the '80s had this outward expression of discontent. And a lot of what came along in the '90s felt more internalized. This record reminds me more of the '80s stuff, bands like, well, in Houston, a band like Really Red.
A: Man, Really Red was one … not even was, they remain one of my favorite bands of all time. 'Teaching You the Fear'… I cannot stress how much I listened to that record. The music was fantastic, and they were really, really smart. They were one of the few political bands that actually understood what they were talking about. I think maybe it's because they were a bit older than a lot of other hardcore bands. A 16-year-old singing about Reagan? Eh. But they knew what they were talking about.
Q: Is it difficult to finish a song like 'Prosperity Gospel' after writing the line, 'Let 'em eat death'? I feel like I'd call it a day after that.
A: (Laughs.) That one came pretty easy. That just feels like the attitude with some of those people. They don't give a (expletive) as long as they're making money. All those people are terrible, and you should think so if you have any background at all (expletive) reading the Bible. And I do because I grew up in the church, went to a Christian high school. I had all that pounded in. I don't understand how anybody that preaches prosperity gospel proclaims to follow Jesus. It's antithetical to what's in those pages. People are easily suckered by the hope of material things. But the idea, 'If I give this guy more money, I'll get more money' … (laughs) … You have to be an idiot to believe that.
Q: I can't tell if "Oh Yeah" is a hopeful ending. But "I wanna climb and leave this mess behind" has a certain vibe that eludes hopelessness.
A: Yeah, I guess it's about trying to get through the day without thinking about the future. It gets back to that Carlin thing. "(Expletive) all this, I'm just going to go skate or surf or ride a bike."
Q: Were you really a Boy Scout? I'm having a difficult time imagining that.
A: Eagle Scout! I found all my merit-badge books recently. I got one for basket weaving. Rifle shooting. Some random (expletive). Canoeing. Knot-tying. I've forgotten all of those, though.
Q: Do you find yourself needing the knots?
A: Yeah, it would be great to know now. (Expletive), I could use a bowline every now and then. But I don't remember which way the rabbit goes around the tree.

In cut and general form, military uniforms reflect the style of civilian fashion of their time, although distinctive elements, such as epaulets and headgear, are added that clearly mark the wearer as a soldier. After body armor largely fell into disuse in the mid-seventeenth century, the soldier dressed like his civilian cousin, although the colors of his clothing would reflect his unit and increasingly the state or monarch he served. The necessity to carry arms with belts capable of holding ammunition pouches, bayonets, swords and the like did give the soldier a distinctive appearance.
Even at this early point in the evolution of military uniforms a purely military form of headdress, the grenadier cap, came into being. During the late seventeenth century, the grenade was a significant factor in infantry tactics. It was an iron sphere filled with gunpowder that was ignited by a fuse. Specialist troops were trained to light these fuses from a hand-held match and then throw the grenades into the ranks of the enemy. Since two hands were required for this, grenadiers had to sling their muskets on their backs, an operation difficult to accomplish when wearing the broad-brimmed hats of the era. Thus grenadiers were given a sort of stocking cap. Some military tailor concluded that these grenadiers, already selected for their size and strength, would look even more impressive if the cap were stiffened to increase the apparent height of its wearer (Laver's seduction principle). The grenadier cap became a symbol of an elite soldier (Laver's hierarchical principle). Since elite troops were useful for assaulting or defending key positions on a battlefield, European armies continued to designate units as "grenadiers," and these wore grenadier caps long after grenades had become obsolete (hand grenades were reintroduced in warfare in the trenches of World War I). The grenadier cap was sometimes given a metal front (such as that worn by the Russian Life Guard Pavlovski Regiment in full dress until 1914) or made of fur. The fur headdress worn by the Brigade of Guards at Buckingham Palace in London is in fact a grenadier cap.
The horsed soldier was sometimes distinguished from mounted civilians by wearing the cuirass. This body armor continued to be utilized by heavy cavalry long after the infantry had abandoned it. The civilian hat was worn for a long period, despite its proclivity to be blown from the head when engaged in a charge. This tendency eventually led to the cocked hat being replaced by helmets of various forms in the late eighteenth century. The crest on these helmets served both the seduction principle and the utility principle, for in addition to making the horseman more imposing, it provided some additional protection from sword cuts.
It was the recruiting of light cavalry from the eastern frontiers of Europe that provided a novel and exotic appearance for a large portion of the cavalry in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century European armies. Austria first recruited Hungarian horsemen to serve as light horse in its military establishment. The dress of these Hungarian hussars had a great influence on military style, both for mounted troops and soldiers. Many armies copied the appearance of the Hungarian jacket fastened by many rows of cords and toggles across the chest. A second, fur-lined jacket (the pelisse) slung over the left shoulder was also widely adopted in the dress of light cavalry, as was the sabretache, a leather pouch or envelope that was suspended from the sword belt.
It is Hungarian headgear that probably had the greatest impact on the appearance of the military. These horsemen wore either a stocking cap edged in fur or a cylindrical felt cap. Through time the fur on the stocking cap was expanded, making the fur cylinder with a bag falling to one side from the top, a form of headdress known as the busby. The cylindrical felt cap was the inspiration for the shako. The shako was widely adopted in all branches of the military during the Napoleonic Wars. Britain dressed its infantry in shakos in 1800; it was not until 1806 that the line infantry of Napoleonic France adopted this headdress. The shako continued as the most common form of military headgear until the defeat of France by Prussia in 1870 and continues to be worn by some units (as, for example, in the full dress of the Corps of Cadets of the U.S. Military Academy).
Just as Hungary provided the pattern for the dress of hussars in armies around the globe, Poland provided the model for the dress of lancers, particularly after Poles played a prominent role in the multiethnic armies of Napoleon. The square-topped czapka and plastronfronted jacket or tunic with piping along its seams was worn by substantial segments of cavalry in Europe and even had an impact on the uniforms of colonial India.
In considering the pressure for elaboration of military uniform and the counter pressure for utility, one can contrast the European experience of the Napoleonic Wars and the long era of peace that followed that conflict. While in theory the armies that fought in the Napoleonic Wars had colorful and elaborate uniforms, in practice they presented a much more drab appearance. Uniforms faded in the sun or wore out on long campaigns and were replaced by clothing obtained locally. The rigors of winter campaigning forced troops to march in gray or brown overcoats rather than full-dress coatees. Plumes would be stowed in knapsacks, while shakos or bearskin

bonnets would be protected from the weather by oilskin covers. Loose trousers replaced the tight breeches and long buttoned spatterdashes or gaiters of the parade ground. With the coming of the long period of peace following Napoleon's defeat, the appearance on the parade ground moved to the forefront and uniforms reached a degree of fantastic elaboration not seen before or since. The realities of war returned in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to banish such sartorial splendor from military life.
Reflecting changes in civilian fashion, by the mid-nineteenth century the tight-fitting waist-length coatee, widely worn for nearly fifty years, was replaced in the world's military by the tunic or frock coat with skirts that at least partially covered the thigh. Russia and Prussia also adopted leather helmets with brass spikes, while for the most part the rest of the world continued to wear the shako or kepi. At this same time there were developments in firearms technology that led to a revolution in military uniforms.
For almost three centuries the smooth-bore musket had dominated the battlefield. The effective range of this weapon was so short (one hundred yards or less) that troops were drilled not to fire until they could see the whites of the eyes of their enemy. Hence, the color of a uniform was unimportant as long as one could be recognized by one's allies and not be taken for the enemy. While there was some use in battle of firearms with rifled barrels that were effective at far greater distances, these early rifles were cumbersome to load. The invention shortly before the American Civil War of a rifle, which could be loaded as rapidly as the old smooth-bore musket, was soon followed by the invention of a breech-loading rifle. A further innovation was the magazine rifle allowing an infantryman to fire several shots after a single act of loading his weapon. Smokeless powder eliminated the huge clouds of acrid smoke that obscured vision on the black-powder battlefield. All of these factors led to the adoption of uniforms whose purpose was to inhibit the recognition of troops at the great distances at which they were now vulnerable to rifle fire.
Khaki was first used in India, originally in the Corps of Guides raised by Lieutenant Harry B. Lumsden in 1846. A decade later, during the Indian Mutiny, a number of British regiments dyed their white summer uniforms khaki to be less visible on the battlefield. While Britain experimented with other drab colors, notably gray, khaki was worn in India, becoming official dress for that station in 1885 and for all foreign stations in 1896. In 1902 Britain adopted a khaki service dress. Other nations followed Britain's example; the first three to adopt a khaki service dress were the United States, Japan, and Imperial Russia. Both France and Germany used khaki for their colonial troops, but Germany in 1910 chose a light gray for its regular army and France, while it began the Great War still in dark blue uniforms, switched to horizon blue early in 1915.
The trench warfare of 1914 to 1918 led to the universal adoption of steel helmets. The threat of gas attacks meant gas masks had to be easily accessible. Trenches, barbed wire, and the machine gun reduced the cavalry to no role at all. Increasing mechanization meant the auto mechanic replaced the farrier in keeping the supply lines functioning, and at least one critic of modern trends in uniforms has lamented that the dress of the soldier now mimics that of an employee of a service station. The war changed the view of the proper soldiers from that of impressively and colorfully dressed units executing precision drill on the parade ground to massive armies engaged in savage warfare under the appalling conditions of the modern battlefield. The pomp and splendor of military pageantry and glory of full dress observable before the war (as late as 1913 the German army was executing maneuvers in a version of full dress) was gone forever.
Wars subsequent to the watershed years of 1914 to 1918 have seen the combat uniform increasingly, and with greater sophistication, being designed to prevent the soldier from being seen rather than allowing an imposing appearance to frighten or cow the enemy. Khaki and olive drab have been replaced by "disruptive pattern" clothing to conceal even more effectively the fighting man or woman. Uniforms have come to be designed even to conceal the soldier from the night-vision equipment finding increasing use on battlefields. The small flashes of color, the division patches that identified the soldier's unit in World War II, have been reduced in the American army to black on olive drab. The increased emphasis on concealment has exacted a price, however, as "friendly fire" has at times proved as hazardous to troops engaged in military operations as the fire from a dispirited enemy overwhelmed by a long period of bombardment from aircraft and missiles.
There has also been an emphasis on attempting to protect the soldier in combat. Modern technology has produced lightweight body armor, "flak jackets," to protect the torso. Some nations have suits, yet untried in a combat situation, to enable the soldier to fight on a battlefield contaminated by nuclear or biochemical weapons.
