Recently, my parents came down for a visit.
We had something to celebrate.
This guy's 11th birthday.
It's hard to imagine that my baby is 11 years old. It seems like these years have flown by. He is growing into such wonderful young man. He's so polite, helpful and funny. He seems to have inherited a very off-the-wall sense of humor. That's a good thing...I think. :0) I see another change taking place in him lately. You know the changes that signal that they're maturing into a new phase and leaving a little bit more of your 'baby' behind? Yeah, that kind. It's really bitter-sweet. {Now I'm totally singing Whitney's version of "I Will Always Love You" in my head. Sorry...}
He had a very low-key birthday this year - just like he wanted. His grandparents went with us to eat at his favorite Mexican restaurant. Then we came home to open presents and have cake and ice cream. He told me it was the best birthday he's ever had - having all of his grandparents with him. My parents came down for his birthday a few years ago and we had a party with kids, games and the whole she-bang then. I asked him if this year was better than that. He said it was because - get this - it was just with the people he loves most in the world. Sniff, sniff... For him, nothing could top an intimate birthday with those closest to him. Sometimes he still amazes me.
I love this picture. It's the only one of him and his grandparents. (Neither of us got to meet his other papaw before he went to heaven. That's a reunion we still have to look forward to.)
So, here's to savoring every moment, because each phase passes way to quickly and I don't want to miss a single instant...

I've enjoyed this sweater pattern from the Spring/Summer 2006 issue of BHG's 'Knit It!' I've made it about 5 times now, starting with one for my niece in these exact colors:
I've made it in these colors a total of three times:
Between those two color combinations, I had enough scraps from both to make this one:
When I first started, I was very skeptical that these colors would look good together...but, by the time I was half way done with it, I was loving it. It reminds me of icecream.
I didn't even have to buy buttons for it, I had enough mismatched ones in my scrapbooking supply that matched the colors perfectly.
So, don't throw away those scraps...use them on your favorite pattern. It is fun to see what you come up with :)

Location will finally determine how successful you become. Get everything else right but this part wrong - your business will still struggle. There is a reason rents get higher in busy locations - businesses there make more money. For an Alexander Technique teacher it is not as simple as going to a busy location - we offer a service, not a product - so like Virgin the best location could be one you least expect. Without knowing your niche, this decision - so important financially to your cost structure - can easily sentence your business to years of unnecessary struggle, without you realizing why.
I know this, because it happened to me.
When I started BodyChance I was clueless. It was 1999 and we were renting a room in Ikebukuro, which turns out to be a reckless, red light area for salary men getting drunk after work. Hmm. Not the ideal location, but it never occurred to me to research it. Someone had a room to rent, I needed a room, so I took it. After three months I faced up to the reality.
Chastened, I made a list of what we needed that covered price, proximity to the station, atmosphere, size, amenities and look and feel. What I forgot to consider deeply, and what needed to be my first consideration: would it work for the people I expected to be coming?
However I, like most Alexander Technique teachers, only had a vague idea about this. "Oh, people in pain or interested in Alexander Technique I guess" was my definition of my niche. That's why a clever decision is not possible until you have clarified the expected source of your clients i.e. your niche. Last blog, I gave you a checklist of 12 things to sort this out.
I looked at several places and finally found a studio that fitted the bill, though slightly above my budget. We moved in and struggled thereafter. It didn't occur to me that my struggles had anything to do with our location. Finally, in desperation, I got a consultant, a Japanese consultant. His first comment was on our location. Here's the story from a previous blog…
My first studio was in a suburb called Mejiro. It is on the Yamanote line - a transit line that runs a ring around Tokyo, in much the same way as the Circle line in London, or how Manhattan Island defines New Yorkers. The Yamanote Line is one of Tokyo's busiest and most important lines, but guess which is the least busiest station of all 29 stops? Right - the one we were on!
We moved our studio to Meguro, where we are today, and in the first year our turnover increased by 30%! Meguro is where office workers (with money to spend) go to relax, get a massage, learn ballet, go to music school - getting the picture? There's been no looking back since then, as we have moved from strength to strength to be unassailable in the Alexander Technique market in Japan.
BodyChance also runs a studio in Osaka, Japan's second biggest city. I did not repeat my Tokyo mistake, and found a studio within easy reach of a complex of stations that bring people in from far and wide, and is a known location for many different kinds of services. However, in the four years we have been there, our studio has not been able to gain traction with the public. Our Osaka memberships are 80% below Tokyo! What is wrong? There's one suggestion in an earlier blog on this topic, but at present I don't definitively know what is true. Therefore, this year we will make an experiment and move to a new studio.
It is a costly experiment - our new outlay will be between $10,000~$25,000 to move, and the rent will be several thousand dollars more a month. Is this the right thing to do? We have tried everything else in the last four years, yet membership numbers continue to stay low. Location is all that is left - so time to play that expensive card. The jury is still out, but I will know more in a year…
This is leading edge stuff for me - I don't have a check list for you today. I am on my own learning curve with this, so stick with me as I can probably save you a lot of time, money and anguish by making the mistakes first.
If this is all overwhelming and you don't know where to start - here's my simple plan B: discover a successful, thriving business that offers a service to your niche - where are they located? Put your studio there! The business could be anything unrelated to Alexander Technique lessons - for example a music shop that offers lessons - just make sure it is selling a service, not a product. It must be a business that is interacting with people on a daily, hourly basis.
The idea here is to lean on the research that others have done for you. Big, dumb companies usually get this part right. They have to - there's too much at stake - and they have the resources to do the exhaustive research to analyze a location. They may fail on niche and product, but not usually location. So save your self three years of research and copy them.
In my last blog I also promised a story about virtual locations, but I will skip that one for now. It's pretty advanced and getting physical location right is more fundamental. Instead, tomorrow we take a sharp turn around to look through the window of your studio and watch what kind of service are you offering? If you are thinking "I teach Alexander Technique" you have a long way to go my friend. Come back and read more tomorrow…

1000 Word Essay Example
Figuring out how to write is an upcoming inquiry for some students. writing is a troublesome procedure, regularly tedious and extremely frustrating. Obviously, there are some common gifts who can deliver incredible bits of writing from the principal endeavor and never open any guide or manual on creative writing coursework help or on writing as a rule. In any case, a large portion of us need help or if nothing else some level of explanation with respect to what a standard 1000 words essay ought to be resembling like.
A standard 1000-words essay is a paper on the given topic or it could be a topic of your own subject decision (on the off chance that your educator or mentor did not assign you any topic). The quantity of 1000-word essay pages ought to be one or two A4 sheets, not all the more, so perhaps it is not as much as you think. Creating a written work necessitates formal readiness, however before you formally plan, assemble your observations regarding the matter and consider what you truly know. With a specific end goal to be fruitful at writing essay papers, you have to know enough about the subject and essentially introduce your own considerations as opposed to attempting to write what they anticipate that you will write. You need your own considerations and your own sentiment about the matter, all things considered writing ought not present such a trouble. Explore the subject utilizing various on the web and library assets, or essentially read 1000-word essay examples on the Internet, and shape your own sentiment. Along these lines, it will be substantially less demanding for you to manage the assignment.
Getting started to write
When you get started to a written work assignment, such as writing an explanatory investigation essay paper or writing a 1000 words essay, you ought to arrange your composition completely. A general guideline in writing essay is tending to address your tasks 100%. This incorporates not just written work what they request that you write, additionally not writing whatever they don`t request that you write. It implies that the written work ought to be entirely on subject. When you comprehend what is required from you, you will be restricted in your assignment, and along these lines won`t lose yourself in the enormous number of thoughts you need to cover in the paper, and in the meantime will know precisely what to expound on.
When you comprehend the undertaking, set up a framework of your paper. Any 1000-word essay example on the Internet and in other solid sources on writing recommends that the structure of the paper ought to be fundamental and incorporate the accompanying:
- The introduction (2-3 sentences)
- The fundamental body, comprising of 2 or 3 body sections, 3-4 sentences each
- The conclusion (2-3 sentences)
Many individuals commit some fundamental errors when writing their first essays. Numerous specialists on writing that give college research papers for sale and other comparative writing, services say that one of the normal confusions in the introduction is running straight away with noting the inquiries given in the assignment. The elements of the introduction are somewhat extraordinary. The introduction of any 1000-word essay paper example ought to be having interest for the readers and make them need to keep perusing more reading, and furthermore to present the subject and enact the reader`s past information of the point. For example, if the question is "What is your conclusion about the zoos?", the presentation ought not give your supposition straight away, but rather first clarify why this subject is critical these days and why it merits talking about it. It is a smart thought to put a snare, i.e. a fascinating first sentence that would incite discourse or catch the reader`s advantage promptly. In our 1000-word essay example, the snare could be "Visualize individuals were put in cages for diversion… "
For more planning and writing mechanism
When you are finished with planning and the introduction, continue with choosing what number of body sections you require. When all is said in done, unless it is a short essay or some sort of particular essay, similar to a projectile motion lab report format, for example, the quantity of body paragraph ought to be no less than two. On the off chance that the point was "What is you're feeling about the zoos?", you may give two particular motivations to help your conclusion. Keeping in mind the end goal to consider particular and substantial reasons, you have to recollect that the reasons ought to relate to various regions of life. Assume you don`t strengthen the possibility of zoos. The principal reason might be on account of creatures are brought up and kept in custody. So when you consider the second reason, it ought not be about creatures any longer; rather, attempt to direct it to an alternate zone. Cash (financing, subsidizing, savings) is dependably a legitimate thought to create in any essay. So you can make up a moment reason that zoos require a great deal of subsidizing to be kept up which would be wise to be well spent on other essential offices. To build up your passages, consider inverse headings. Now and again it is difficult to think about your own reasons or organize and write your 1000 words essay in the set due date, so don`t hesitate to repeat to essays writing services. I frequently do as such when I require pre med coursework help or an education paper format example.
When you continue to go on to the conclusion in your 1000 words essay paper, ensure you don`t include any new or additional data about the focuses made in the body paragraph. Give a conclusion by revising your reasons and reminding that your sentiment is solid particularly for the reasons that you have beforehand talked about in your 1000-word essay example. Additionally, make a general forecast about how the circumstance with the zoos will create later on, given the present circumstance and your feelings about the topic. For a superior comprehension of how to write a 1000 -word essay example or what it ought to resemble, the Internet surfing can be helpful on the topic of 1000-word essay example or just opinion essay. Also, never forget to counsel your teacher or whoever has given you the task of writing an essay with the goal that you know precisely what they have need of.

How To Reach Boracay Beach Resort
3 Ways to Reach Boracay Beach Resort
There are so many ways on how to reach Boracay Beach Resort in Panay Island. For this reason, I'll save you the suspense of knowing yourself what the beach is all about when you get there. You can reach Boracay Beach in 3 ways – via air or via water or via bus + sea using the Philippines' popular mode of transportation for the masses- RORO (roll-on / roll off) which is a combination of land travel and sea travel. It is perhaps the most enjoyable, exciting and time consuming mode to get to the enchanting island.
Although all these modes and means to reach Boracay Beach will all lead you to one of the most exciting beaches in the Philippines and in the world, I cannot bypass the possibility that if you are one of the tourists who are looking for ways to reach the enchanting Resort, so far, the above 3 modes are all you have.
They are not as specific as they should be so below is a little bit more detailed research I conducted that you can get to Bora. "I have a lot of relatives who live in the province of Panay, where you can find Boracay and I have been to that beach countless times already plus the fact that my cousins have a small restaurant and a "kamalig" resort inn near the shore."
Air Transportation
If you are interested to get to Boracay using air transportation, here are 3 good ways to take. Try Asian Spirit – a local airways plane transport going to Caticlan Airport. from there, it is only minutes away using pump boats that are a regular transportation means that will take you to the Island proper to enjoy the white sand and the sun. Another way is via the Southeast Asian Airlines (SEAIR). Here is a good resource for Manila to Boracay flights.
Both air transport have their own daily schedules of trip to Caticlan airstrip which will eventually take you to about 5-minute boat travel to reach the final destination – an isolated island beach in Panay group of islands. Another interestingly popular flight (your 3rd choice) is via PAL flights to Kalibo Aklan. This will be accompanied after by about 1-1/2 hour of bus travel (if the bus is fast enough) or 2 hours (if the bus is not that fast) to Caticlan and then again, the regular ferry boat to the island beach.
Water Transportation
A good option, if you will come from Manila in going to Boracay Beach is to take the route using water transportation. Best way I know is to go for the Ferry boat trip from Batangas Pier or the Manila Bay Pier to Caticlan. Try to look for the WG&A Super Ferry schedules which will lead you to a twice a week schedule (I heard there are updated schedules this summer 2009 for advance rush tourist expectancy). Before, it's a Monday and Saturday trips only. This ferry boat ride is estimated by the authorities I asked to last about 12 – 14 hours so you have to be sure to prepare for something you will need to embark on this long travel route to Boracay Beach Island resort.
RORO (roll-on / roll-off)
This mode of transportation to reach Boracay Island is nothing new especially to people with tight budget but would like to enjoy the travel in a bus and barge-carrying buses combined. This travel route is something different but for those who enjoy traveling a lot seeing places and the sea, longer, I dare you to try this because it's worth it to take the RORO option. In this travel option, you can take 2 choices, one is to seek for the schedules (I will not mention any because they always change) of PHILTRANCO Bus in Manila (tel n0. 852-25-23/852-32-18). Call them for reservation options or you can find the bus terminal in Pasay City, EDSA.
They take passengers to Caticlan/Catiklan via the RORO system where the bus itself will embark hours of travel to the Batangas Pier and from there, your bus will be loaded in a bus-carrying ship that will bring you to Kalibo, Aklan and from there, you will again take the 1- 1/2 to 2-hour bus ride to Caticlan to again embark on the final 5-minute pump boat ride to the isolated island called Boracay Beach. With RORO system of transport, however, mind you that you can take your own car for your trip so you have an option to embark on a trip with the use of your own car but you will have to take the pain of sleeping uncomfortably in your car only or reserve yourself a cabin that will put you in extra cost.

We live in a free market world where everyone is striving for cost efficiency's, to slash overheads and deliver goods to the consumer in the most efficient manner possible.
Why should the tyre market be any different? Why should the consumer finance the existence of an expensive business model occupying costly prime real estate with layers of management and staffing and heavy investment in plant and vehicles? There is a simple solution and massive savings to be made.
The emergence of the internet tyre sales and distribution models like www.tyresales.co.nz allied with fair price tyre fitting stations is giving consumers access to dramatic price savings for tyre purchases. Simply put, a web based tyre sales channel like www.tyresales.co.nz , with almost zero overheads, will always be a more efficient distributor of tyres than the current bloated tyre retail model.
And consumers can and do trust online sales, www.tyresales.co.nz has the backing of MTA Membership (Motor Trade Association) and today's consumer is now in the habit of buying almost anything on the net. Why should the tyre category be any different. Today's consumer has no problem researching products on the internet and often it is a more pleasurable experience than being hassled by corporate tyre shop employees to buy more tyres than you want and to spend more money than you want.
Currently, it is estimated that about 12% of New Zealand tyre sales are internet sales direct to the consumer and this will surely grow.
Just think about this; direct internet sales have already mostly replaced the Music, Computer Game and ticket retail sales channels and have captured large shares of other retail categories. Internet sales of tyres are going to grow dramatically as the product becomes increasingly commoditized and will further grow as prices reduce.

Mulch has many benefits when applied to certain perennials, vegetables, shrubs, and trees. In nature, mulch is formed and supplied generously by means of decaying plant litter, falling leaves and pine needles, and rotting trees. In the garden, we must help.

|I have always adhered to using the bountiful leaves my huge Oaks produce. I blow them onto the driveways and chop them up with my little electric mulching mower and spread them. This way they are preset to speed up the decomposition factor and 'lock' themselves together so as not to easily blow out in the next windy day.
Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for your post. I also have several large white oaks and I use my bagger on the garden tractor for collecting them. They are already shredded; and all I have to do is spread them where they are needed. The winter snows here help in keeping them in place. Not only do they protect the soil from winds, but they attract earth worms and beneficial insects. In our blistering summers they help conserve moisture and keep the soil cooler at the base of the plants. In the decomposition process they provide nutrients to the soil and plants.
I use wheat straw from neighboring farms for the vegetable gardens, especially unstaked tomatoes and potato plants. Straw is a great amendment to sandy soils and is perfect for keeping soil off the tomatoes and peppers. In spring I simply rototill old straw into the soil. Below is an example of straw around tomatoes. And the second picture shows a mix of shredded leaves and pine needles; then the third shot is a hyacinth blooming in a layer of leaf/litter mulch. The last picture is at the edge of a lily garden where I spread a thick mat of shredded oak leaves.
This is a lesson I learned gradually over the years through trial and error. Mulching makes a huge difference (for me at least). Once again, thanks for your input.

Paul L. LeBlanc was born on May 5, 1946. He attended Chalmette High School, a member of the class of 1965. He matriculated at LSU New Orleans on August 28, 1965, the same day that Hurricane Betsy hit land below New Orleans and him from St Bernard Parish for a year.
A couple of years later LeBlanc attended Delgado Jr. College and received an associate degree in data processing (predecessor of computers) He was then drafted and served 1977 to 1979 in the old French occupation zone of Germany.
After discharge LeBlanc enrolled at LSU where he received a BS in accounting in 1973. He was employed full-time while in school. Upon finishing at LSU, LeBlanc began a career in a variety of industries working with computers and accounting. In 1985, with the advent of the personal computer LeBlanc became a sole practitioner in computers, accounting and business management. In 1984, LeBlanc began course work in a variety of fields and in 1989 received a BA with an emphasis in sociology and anthropology. To start the new decade he switched to UNO where he received an MBA with emphasis in accounting and computer applications in 1993.
LeBlanc has served as an adjunct professor at Tulane University, University College, teaching classes in computer applications and computer programming. He has applied this expertise to his work in genealogy. In 2005, because of Hurricane Katrina he evacuated up the River to where the Spanish had settled our ancestors in 1765 to 1769. There he found he was related to almost everyone whose family had been there for a generation. Instead of returning to rebuild, he decided to make his home where he "landed" and he continued to service a few clients in New Orleans until 2011. LeBlanc has been helping people with genealogy since the early 1990s and now is doing it almost full-time.

For the second year in a row, both the men's and women's lacrosse teams have clenched births in their conference tournaments. The men's team was able to hold on for the fourth and final spot despite an overtime loss in Elmhurst. The team will face Aurora, who is undefeated in the conference, for their final regular season contest at Thorson-Lucken Field. Then, just three days later the Vikings travel to Aurora to face the top-seeded Spartans in Midwest Lacrosse Conference tournament play.
On the women's side, Augustana needs just one more conference victory to solidify its seat at the top. With a win, the women's lacrosse team would lock itself in to host the Midwest Women's Lacrosse Conference tournament. The 13-0; 7-0 unit is now one of just three remaining unbeaten Division III teams in the nation.
With the 2014 season marking just the second year in a league for the Augustana programs, it is rather impressive that both sides have been made the conference tournament each season thus far. It has been made clear that Augustana approached the addition of lacrosse in a successful manner that countless institutions have strived to mimic. Currently the Vikings receive little credit in the national rankings and polls against schools on the East Coast but hopefully in the near future our programs will be just as respected!

In March 2009 it was announced that Nate Powell had been nominated for the LA Times book prize, for his book Swallow me whole. It is the first time a comic has been nominated for the prize since Maus in 1992. It seemed like an appropriate time to re-publish an interview Edd did with Nate in Brixton in the hot, hot summer of 2006.
I bumped into Nate Powell's comics in a typically convoluted manner, which had nothing to do with his band Soophie Nun Squad, but the artwork he'd done for other bands. Specifically a Ghost Mice illustration that accompanied their HeartattaCk interview. I searched around for more of his illustrations, not realising he drew comics, and eventually stumbled across a book published by Soft Skull Press. When I finally got the book, Tiny Giants, I was blown away: by his incredible brush strokes, handwriting, and story telling ability. He has an exquisitely precise style using simple black and white artwork. But not only is he an incredible artist he is also in a truly incredible punk band – Soophie Nun Squad. I found him in June 2006 just before he was going to play the Grosvenor in South London with Soophie Nun Squad and this is the conversation that followed.
LH: Would you like to introduce yourself?
Nate: My name is Nate. I'm almost 28 years old. I'm originally from Arkansas but now live in Indiana, I draw comics and I work with people with disabilities, and I love breakfast.
LH: How did you start drawing comics?
Nate: Well actually I've been drawing since I was about two. I remember the first thing that I drew was this banana on my brother's room, on the wall, when we were living in Montana. I drew a lot. I never really drew comics until I was 11 years old, in the summer of sixth grade, when my best friend Mike Lierly, who is one of the other singers in Soophie Nun Squad, had been drawing comics for a couple of years. He'd been working on projects on his own and he said, 'Hey, you and I should draw comics together.' He introduced me to a couple of comic artists and ever since then I've been like, 'Yeah, of course that's exactly what we should do'. That was 1990, so I've had a good 16 years in comics now.
"I would say that X-Men was probably one of the biggest influences on my life."
LH: So you weren't inspired by any specific comics then?
Nate: Well, I've been reading comics since I was very young. I'd read Spider-man, and a very specific arc of Wonder Woman, and The Hulk. It was when I was 11 years old, when Mike really got me into the X-Men and Daredevil. It was things like X-Men that actually gave me a social conscience. The first time I ever read anything and it was like, 'Wait a minute, racism is fucked up, and homophobia is bad'. I owe a whole lot to the X-Men for really pushing me into that. It was at the same time that I was getting into metal and a lot of the politics of 1980s speed metal combined with X-Men really did a number on me. I would say that X-Men was probably one of the biggest influences on my life.
LH: How was it growing up in Arkansas? We printed an interview with the Gossip in Last Hours and they always have very bad things to say about Arkansas.
Nate: I will say that Arkansas as a state, and I've lived in a lot of states, is probably the best state that I've lived in. The people are really awesome in general. The topography and geography is incredible and incredibly diverse. [But] a huge section of northern Arkansas, and north-east Arkansas is practically run by the [Ku Klux] Klan. Harrison, Arkansas, is the centre of one of the four branches of the Klan. There are a lot of intentionally all white counties and towns, which is really scary.
Where the Gossip are from, Searcy, Arkansas, is just on the southern tip of that little region. It's this really shitty town. I can totally understand why they make the music they make and why they wanted to get the hell out of there. I've lived in other places in the South like Alabama but I have very little bad to say about Arkansas that I do have bad to say about the USA in general, or about humankind in general.
LH: Your brother has learning difficulties, is that how you got involved in working, and writing comics about it?
Nate: Pretty much. My brother, Peyton, who is six years older than me, has autism, on a pretty high-level, and a couple of other additional disabilities like dyslexia. An old high-school friend of his came back to visit my parents when I was back in town and he was like, 'Oh, yeah I started working with people with disabilities at this fine art centre in town. A lot of the reasons I became involved was because of being friends with Peyton, and this really shaped how I see the world and what I value about how I spend my energy'.
I thought, 'Wait a minute! Why don't I do that? I'm working in an ice-cream joint'. So I quit my job and got the job as the fine art program director at this very old fine art centre in my home town. From there I started working in different situations, going to individual people's houses or in group situations. It's something that at this point in my life I consider with as much weight as I consider making comics. I definitely take it very seriously.
LH: When you went to art college in NYC did you do that part-time?
Nate: Actually I studied full-time and had a scholarship to help me. My parents helped me a little, and I worked a lot during the summers. So I was able to scrape by without working through the school years. During the summers at the end of that time, that was when I started working with people with disabilities. It's interesting because in a lot of places, and also in Bloomington, there are a lot of punk kids who work in the mental health services, or helping people with learning difficulties. They're really awesome people who I believe in very much.
LH: It seems the New York school of visual Arts had a whole load of creativity about it. You guys started Meathaus, and you were there with Becky Cloonan [Demo, American Virgin etc.]…
Nate: And all the others, yeah.
LH: How did that all happen?
Nate: Well, I'd say it was two different classes. There was the class that was a year older than mine, which was Mike Lierly, and also Farel Dalrymple [Popgun war] and James Jean [Fables cover-art] and some other people. James and Farel were actually in a slightly different programme, they were doing illustration majors so they would take a lot of graphics classes with us but were also really focused on their painting and artwork.
I was one year younger than them. It happened around the autumn of 2000, and I moved away just at that time so I was quite peripheral to all of this. I remember the first two issues of Meathaus came out, and they sent them my way.
I remember thinking, 'Wait! I'd really like to put some stuff in here', and they asked me at the same time. But as far as I know Chris McDonnell, Dash Shaw [The Mother's Mouth], and Farel were all really involved in getting it together. They remain really closely knit but I think they're more spread out across the country now.
"When I did Conditions for example I made around 1,400 copies just by scamming photocopiers. This full-size 44-page comic, and at the end of it, I was just like, 'Oh, I can't do this anymore'."
LH: How come you decided on Soft Skull and people to publish your comics rather than taking a completely DIY approach and putting it out through Harlem [Nate's record label]? Why did you decide to ask these people, your friends, to help you out publishing the books?
Nate: Well basically as it happened, to back up a little bit, I've been making comics since 1992 or so. By 1999 I was just scamming and photocopying comics. When I did Conditions for example I made around 1,400 copies just by scamming photocopiers. This full-size 44-page comic, and at the end of it, I was just like, 'Oh, I can't do this anymore'. Then I was able to get a grant from school, which was to do the first issue of Walkie Talkie, to offset print it. I was able to make exactly enough money, and save money at my job so that I could offset all the copies all in one go. I learnt a lot of the ropes of mainstream comic publishing, Diamond distribution and things.
A lot of the old stuff, like Conditions, I was looking to reprint a lot of those in a slightly thicker comic and I was just like, 'Oh, how am I going to save up $3,000 to do that?' I was just moving to Providence, and I was at an underground comic conference, about four years ago, and my friend Tennessee Jones was hanging out with one of Beehive collective. He said, 'Oh yeah I've been looking for you because I've started working for Soft Skull Press and we really want to put out a book by you'. It was really just lucky because we were both looking for each other.
Ever since Conditions came out I'd been sending every single thing that I do to people at Top Shelf comics saying things like, 'Hi, I really respect what you do, if you can please read this and really let me know what you think' and surprisingly most of them have been so honest and supportive and critical. They'll say, 'I really like this, but I still don't understand why you insist on doing this because it doesn't work for you'. So some of their insistence and criticism has been a really positive thing as far as working with Top Shelf.
LH: Is there a comic book scene like there is with the punk scene, or perhaps like zine culture I guess, whereby you support each other?
Nate: Surprisingly, well not necessarily surprisingly, but yes. I say surprisingly because I didn't know it existed until two or three years ago until I decided that I would go to a lot of comic book conventions and decide that I would try and sell as much stuff as I could. It was to try and become as involved in it as possible.
Especially having grown up in DIY punk and coming into a certain ethical standpoint on how human beings should behave commercially and emotionally with each other. So I was at a distance from the comic world and I gave them a lot of really a lot of unfair but understandable pre-judgements on what these people must be and what their ideals and goals must be from making comics.
"There's an entire scene which is just very well produced, photocopied interior, silk-screened cover comics. And that's not a stepping stone until they get enough money to offset print it, it is the end product."
But then I started going to these things and realised, 'Wow, this is just like going to a classic DIY punk fest from the 90s' where people are really coming there with their three days of vacation time and a backpack full of comics and people are legitimately interested in reading, and being read, and creating dialogues, hanging out and partying afterwards and working and following through with projects together. And I had no idea that this could exist.
And it was really interesting as far as the economics of independent comics goes just the same idea of legitimacy of publishing itself as far as zine culture goes. And that expands into comics and mini-comics as well. Just the fact that if you go to the Small Press Expo of Washington, DC, which is one of my favourite comic conventions.
There's an entire scene which is just very well produced, photocopied interior, silk-screened cover comics. And that's not a stepping stone until they get enough money to offset print it, it is the end product. As Born Against would say, 'The medium is the message'. And a lot of it has to do with the fact that this is a legitimate route of publishing. To me that is the most exciting thing. I've done a couple of talks for libraries and universities. And one of the big things that I try to talk about is challenging the idea of what makes a legitimate publication, or what makes you published.
And people get really pissed off if for example you say, 'Take this piece of paper here, run it through a copy machine. Now if you fold it: you're a publisher'. People get really pissed off at that, but I think thats some of the greatest power in that scene.
"Some people were really awesome and gave me a lot more chances than they should have officially allowed me. As far as how many copies I didn't sell but they'd say, 'Look we really like your book, so don't tell anybody and we're just going to sign you up for your next issue, and they probably won't sell either, but whatever lets give it a go'."
LH: Going back though to you talking about Diamond [distribution]. With Last Hours I have a limited experience about dealing with commercial publishers and I've always found it really hard to talk to them because of their marketing angle and lack of understanding about what we're trying to do; I was wondering whether you had similar experiences dealing with commercial comic distributors?
Nate: Oh yeah, that was definitely one of my biggest personal battles. It opened up a whole new world to me. I had started self-publishing at the age of 14, and that was when I started the record label; I had really become way too comfortable with DIY publishing. I started working with Diamond and realised that actually they had no idea who I was and wouldn't necessarily remember me from phone call to phone call.
Some people were really awesome and gave me a lot more chances than they should have officially allowed me. As far as how many copies I didn't sell but they'd say, 'Look we really like your book, so don't tell anybody and we're just going to sign you up for your next issue, and they probably won't sell either, but whatever lets give it a go'.
At the same time it's really funny dealing with a lot of the independent comic companies, and especially the independent comic distros. They've grown up with a business ethic that is not particularly rooted in the DIY punk subculture. It's funny because I could tell that some of the people's comic distribution or their comics company is still coming out of their bedroom, but without that alternative, though not necessarily radical, economic model and it's understandable because it wouldn't really hit you that, 'Oh there's another way to deal with people that doesn't involve dealing with a false sense of bureaucracy'. That could be very frustrating. It's not even being reactionary with a 'no compromise' sensibility when dealing with people and business. It just makes sense to me that you shouldn't have to have all these layers between you and this other person.
LH: I was wondering if you're able to draw whilst out on tour with Soophie Nun Squad or whether they're separated out?
Nate: Well I've been doing Soophie and comics for pretty much the same amount of time, around fourteen years. Emotionally I definitely swing through my ups and downs. I get really manic about some things and I'll really slack off about others. My energies are very plainly divided between comic time and music or theatrical time, or whatever.
I do a lot of drawing and writing of ideas while on tour with Soophie, or having Soophie time, or Soophie Summits as we call them. I would say that in any case that 80% of the stuff I do is daily, or a couple of times a week, drawing or writing and spending a good amount of time in my journal just working out like little vignettes. Then a month later, or whenever, I'll mash all of those together, which can then work themselves into a comic.
"I don't want my whole life surrounded by punkness. I think its lame to be able to only scrabble and exist and perform and communicate within punk circles. I mean I know."
LH: I was reading an old interview of yours and you were talking about how punk shows kind of stop dialogue sometimes because the emphasis is more on rocking out. I was wondering how you think it's possible to break that down; if you think it's necessary or even desirable? Or do you think there should be other avenues for punks and people to meet and communicate with each other outside of the gig setting?
Nate: I would say I think three parts to that would be; number one; at least in the specific subculture of punk that I live in I genuinely feel like there are some pretty well established and equal alternatives to the show as social spaces. But, I'd say that… well I anticipate that I would have said that around 2000 or 2001 [since] 2000 to mid-2002 was the peak of this very particular, very idealistic idea of punk as lifestyle…
LH: For you or for the scene?
Nate: For the scene, but also for me, because I was 22 or 23 years old, and I was really convinced that not only was it possible, and it is possible, to live within the avenues of punk, but that that was desirable. You know to be punk for life. I'm 28 and I think one of the best things that happened was moving back to a traditionally idealistic punk haven such as Bloomington, but it's also being in a period where I don't want my whole life surrounded by punkness. I think its lame to be able to only scrabble and exist and perform and communicate within punk circles. I mean I know. I've put out comics which only punks read. But I would never want that now. And in that same way, as far as shows and rocking out, distracts from the dialogue and community that you have within a space like them.
But conversely now I almost feel like there's something so special about music, and this almost borders on hippy shit. But as opposed to five years ago where I always wanted to talk between every song and be very explicit about what I thought, and being like, 'This is fucked up. And this is right on and we should all support this.' But there's something that is really just not giving people the credit to be smart enough to read into what you are communicating whether it's explicit or not.
I think there's a power in music, that should not be watered down by thinking that it has to have specific contents and values. So, I think there is a lot of value to rocking out which I've re-discovered in the last year and a half. And a lot of this I credit to a person who I have fallen madly in love with, who has nothing to do with punk but is just a wonderful, wonderful human being.
I realised that I grew up in a place where music, politics, communication, art and community could not be separated at the time but they've expanded to such a point that not only can they thrive in their own little web, but sometimes it feels wonderful to be able to seperate it and just rock out, or just have a pot-luck, or just have a meeting about something, or just have an art show. That feels great.
Sounds Of Your Name, which collects Tiny Giants, and It Disappears plus other earlier works is available from early October through Microcosm Publishing. Please Release is released by Top Shelf Comix in November. Soophie Nun Squad records are available through Plan-It-X records (www.plan-it-x.com). Nate can be contacted at PO Box 3382, Bloomington IN 47402, USA.

Thankfully, it is not a medical condition and this psychosomatic condition can be rectified easily.
Stop Using Temporary Relief:
Some males are just desperate to overcome this embarrassing situation during their sexual encounters and therefore they begin to use pills, creams and sprays. These methods bring temporary relief only and therefore you should stop using them.
Try These Tips to Stop Premature Ejaculations:
1) Practice Foreplay as Much as You Can:
Men get excited much more quickly in the presence of the stimulus. So, they need to practice foreplay techniques. This will keep their excitement in control and will help them have prolonged sex with their partners. Caressing, massaging, touching and caressing are some of the foreplays that can help getting you in sync with the fair sex. So, do not jump on the bed to just indulge in the actual play only. Try these foreplay tricks.
2) Understand Your Arousal Levels:
All the males should know that they pass through three different stages before they ejaculate. They need to understand these levels. If they take note of their penis, they would be able to find out that it passes through four stages. Lengthening, filling, full erection and finally hard erection. The fourth stage is the sign that he is about to ejaculate. Prolonging the arousal controls premature ejaculations. So, the third stage should be slowed down. Relaxing and breathing slowly at this stage helps a lot.
3) Use Shallow Thrusts in the Beginning:
Using shallow thrusts during the process can check pre-mature ejaculation. So, take care to penetrate only 1.5 to 2 inches of your organ. This way, only the first few inches of your penis will be excited. Deep thrusts in the beginning will cause faster level of arousal and in all chances you will end up ejaculating much before you should.
4) Practice Breathing Deeply and Slowly:
Due to sexual excitement, both the partners begin to breathe faster than they should. This is a cause of arousal and hastens the process of ejaculation. If you want to delay ejaculation, you should try breathing slowly and deeply. You should try to synchronize your breathing with your partner so that you can be well-connected during the process.
By following these tricks you can control pre-mature ejaculation and would last longer in the bed. Stop being disenchanted and worry not if you fail to satisfy her due to this psychosomatic condition. You can overcome this problem.

Letters / Open letter to NHS Shetland
I have two questions for NHS Shetland.
1) NHS Shetland has a duty of care for patients and will be responsible for patients travelling to hospital appointments where the NHS has handled the travelling arrangements. If patients decide to book the plane themselves will they still get this same level and duty of care extended to them as they have booked their own travel?
2) Has NHS Shetland looked into whether island and other discounts would apply when they book travel on the boat on behalf of their patients?
