88.1 KDHX DJ Spotlight: DJ Needles of Rawthentic, Part 1
"My name is Needles…I got to have a needle on the vinyl."
Nappy DJ Needles is known across the St. Louis hip hop and soul scene for his turntable tactics and fresh groove for every occasion. Needles describes his comical yet interesting story of how he came up with the name Needles. "I wanted to make people understand that when they hear 'Needles' they know that they're going to get somebody who's playing records with an actual needle to the record," he says.
This past month I had the opportunity to sit down with Needles (government-appointed name James Gates) at the all-too-familiar St. Louis Bread Company on the Delmar Loop during the noon rush. As a laid-back and easy-going person, Needles told me all about how he got his start, his name and enough background information to write a book in this detail-packed, one-of-a-kind interview. Below is Part 1 of the interview. Come back tomorrow for Part 2.
Dannie Boyd: Where did everything start for you music wise?
Needles: Well, my father is a well-known DJ in St. Louis and other parts of the country so we always had records and all that stuff. We had tons of records in the house, so music was kind of in my life at birth. Growing up I never had a desire to become a DJ though. I always loved music but that was not my initial path. I'm a cartoonist. I draw, I illustrate, I do all of that stuff. I've been drawing since I was 2, so I was going towards that through pretty much the whole school experience all the way up to high school in '94 when I graduated.
That fall in '94 is when I did my first party. That came about from my brother's friend who needed somebody to do some music for her birthday party. He knew I had tons of tapes I made off the radio and I had a couple of CDs. I didn't have any money back then so I didn't really buy CDs. I had tapes, cassette singles, things like that. He just knew I had all this music so he kind of suggested me to do the party. I didn't know how I was going to do it. I immediately thought, "I'm not about to just press play and let the whole tape just play." I guess I kind of just had that instinct to figure out how I'm going to DJ a party with tapes and cater to that party. I quickly figured out, "Okay, I need a main radio." I didn't have any type of system or anything; this is early, early days. My sister had a boom box, and it had dual cassettes, so I had that. And it had the turbo bass and all that stuff. I knew that would carry because it was just a basement party. Then I had the smaller radio that I would use to cue up the different songs on my tapes. While the main song was playing I would be busy finding another song, rewinding and fast-forwarding and cueing up the next song. So that's how I did that. And when I did that something kind of bit me. I got bit by the bug, basically, and the feeling never left. I was just like, man this is awesome! I'm doing my personal picks and people are really responding off of it and I'm responsible for a good portion of the good time that's being had. So that's kind of how it started.
When did you put together your first mixtape that you released as a DJ? How did that process go?
Aw man. It was '98, after tons of practicing. What happened was, from that first birthday party in '94, I guess word got around that I was cheap (laughs) and I was doing parties just like that. Tapes, a few CDs, but mostly tapes. I would do mini-jams, is what they would kind of be referred to as in high school, in between the years of '94 and like '96 or so, '97, and [I would] get the birthday parties. But then, in the back of my mind I was like, if I want to keep doing this I'm eventually going to get called out by some kid looking at me and how I'm doing it and being like (laughs), "You don't even have any records. You don't have a turntable or a mixer; you're not a real DJ!" And I would not consider myself a DJ [back then]. I didn't have a name or anything. I was just playing music. But I always wanted to make sure, before that happened, I was skilled in the actual craft.
In '97 I got a job at Vintage Vinyl. So many records were coming in because around that time, late '90s, the CDJs [CD decks] were coming in, the CD turntables were coming in, and a lot of DJs were transitioning from vinyl to just CDs and they were selling their vinyl back; a lot of classic pieces that I've never seen before. [When] I got the job at Vintage Vinyl, I was able to buy all this stuff half price, and I got all these records. Basically, I took '97, almost a whole year, just to teach myself how to mix. I was able to come up on this busted mixer that my mom got me. I had two different turntables. They weren't even real standard DJ turntables; they were like record players. The ones that come with the floor-model stereos. I had one of those, and then I had one that this guy came in Vintage Vinyl to sell. He sold it for like 25 bucks. It was an old Technics turntable. It wasn't the 1200s, but it was old. And I sort of taught myself how to mix then. I was out a lot and observed a lot of DJs.
So around '98 I was like "I want to release something." I was practicing, I was taping what I was practicing, I was mixing and stuff and I was like, "I think I'm ready to release something" because it [mixtape making] was really big in The Loop and St. Louis in general; a lot of mixtapes. So I put it together. A lot of underground, current, hip-hop fellows out at the time. It kind of went real well. A lot of people responded to it. I sold it for 5 bucks. It was in a cassette case like Maxell [brand cassettes]. I did my own graphics like how I do today still, but it was very primitive back then. I cut my picture out, pasted it and copied it (laughs) and put text on it from another cutout. But it was real cool. It was called '98 Fresh Mixtape. It had a lot of Pete Rock, Black Star, Lauryn Hill. I think I put "Lost Ones" on there. It was real nice, and like I said, people responded to it well, and that was kind of the start. That was the beginning of the mixtape series for me.
When did you actually develop the name DJ Needles, or Nappy Needles, and consider yourself a real DJ doing shows and things of that nature?
Well, I would say kind of before I got established. And really, before I got out and played my first set. I was thinking to myself, "What might be a cool DJ name?" and I landed on Needles. It was so silly because I remembered the movie Dick Tracy and all of their nicknames were cool to me. I liked all their nicknames; they kind of matched them and everything. I could have sworn that there was a guy, a villain, on the movie named "Needles" and I was like, "That's cool. It's been used in the movie so why can't I just use it as a DJ name?"
I wanted to make people understand that when they hear "Needles" they know that they're going to get somebody who's playing records with an actual needle to the record and everything and they're not getting CDs. So I picked Needles believing that this name had also been used in Dick Tracy. Come to find out later, I was thinking of "Mumbles." The guy's name was Mumbles (laughs) and I was wrong. Dude was mumbling and for some reason I thought they called him Needles because, I don't know, maybe his mouth. I have no idea why I thought they would call him Needles. Anyway, it stuck. A lot of people just gravitated toward it. To this day It's weird, a lot of people that knew me as James, my real name long before DJing, they now call me Needles. I don't know if I dig that too much (laughs). I'm talking family members too. It's not cool (laughs). It's all good. But yeah, that's basically how it happened, a silly little story. I think I was actually on the Metrolink when I came up with the name Needles. I was riding somewhere and was like hmm (hums), what about Needles? Okay.
How did you get into production and making your own music?
That came from the influence of my little brother Barry. He was heavy into computers, also into programs. Initially around, I would say, '99 or 2000 or so. I was beginning to notice all of this stuff that I was hearing from him back in our den. That's where I kind of setup a makeshift studio. I put my turntables back there. My mom let me setup and everything. My father's records had formerly been in there and I kind of started to take over with my record collection and things like that. But I was hearing a lot of house tracks and techno-style tracks and everything coming from there [the den]. I'm thinking he's playing records because he was also a house and techno DJ, but come to find out this is his original music. It was that good to where I thought he was playing established records. So I'm like, "Wait a minute! How are you doing this?" I was really curious. "How are you making your own music?" I was ignorant to the whole computer wave that was really beginning to take off at that time, so he just explained it was a computer program. He taught me a few computer programs as far as making music and recording music. I was hip-hop mode back then, so I was like I'm going to take this and I'm going to start making hip-hop beats and I'm going to see what I can do.
There was a lot of music made by older artist that I heard. I heard a few songs here and there and I was like, "Man that would probably make a good sample you know." And I never knew what I was going to do with that. I kind of just made a mental note that if I ever was in the position to make my own beats I was going to try to use this stuff. That's basically how I did it. Around 2001 is when I first started making beats. Like I said, my brother walked me through it. He taught me how to use the programs. Until this day I still ask him for help and everything. But that's how it started. Real humble man, just like "I can actually make beats!" It wasn't traditional hip-hop style because I didn't have an SP [sampler]; I didn't have an MPC [sampler] or anything. This is all on the computer. I still plan on learning how to use those different traditional production styles and everything, but for right now I stick with the programs I was taught. It's been working out.
Have you had a chance to work with any artists, as far as providing them with the tracks or working with them musically?
Yeah. A lot of people here in St. Louis. Jada Avenue, Black Spade, Tef Poe, Karim, Got to be Karim. A lot of people that basically are my friends. There have been a few outside St. Louis, Eric Roberson. You know, very few. I'm definitely not out on the map so-to-speak in that sense. Who else? Indiana Rome, he has recorded over my tracks. Definitely a lot of local, just immensely talented artist here in St. Louis.
What's been the biggest obstacle for you so far?
As a DJ?
As a DJ or music wise.
I would say, the biggest obstacle is to keep (pauses). It's hard to say (pauses). Exposure. Trying to get different people to get where I'm coming from and to try and let go of preconceived notions of what a DJ, specifically a black DJ, should play. That's definitely a hard thing to get over. A lot of crowds see you and they expect you to play certain music and stay with that, and that's just not the case with a lot of DJs. Definitely not a lot of DJs that I run with. We're all individually specific. We kind of try to bring forth the same type of attitude toward what we do as an artist because we are all artists. I would say an artist that people actually consider an artist because a lot of people don't consider DJs artists. We bring that attitude that an artist — a band or whoever else performs — performance-wise brings to their performance. We want people to understand that when you come to see a specific DJ. Not all DJs because a lot of DJs are just general DJs. They'll play whatever a crowd wants to hear. But when you're dealing with people that have specific flavors then you got to get to know them and kind of get to understand them just as much as you would get to know some new rapper, some new singer, some new musician and decide whether or not they're for you or not. That's the type of style that me and a lot of other DJs here in town and around the world are trying to get through to people. You can't really paint all DJs with the same brush. We're trying to provide a service as well as good significant art through music.
I know you're classified as a hip hop/soul/afro-beat DJ but do you incorporate other genres of music into your rotation?
Yeah. Definitely. A lot of Latin, Latin funk, house, soul house, dance hall, definitely a lot of dance hall. As well as a lot of the old-school R&B which comes from soul but really isn't soul music. I include that. Pop and rock music I incorporate. And all of these genres a lot of people might not get it, or they might think that it's like (pauses). Like, if I play rock music a lot of people might think that I might be playing that as if I have an obligation to certain people that may be in the venue. It's really because I like it. I only play stuff that I like, you know. That's basically it. If you hear me play it, I like it, and I want you to hear it, and hopefully you'll dance to it. A lot of this stuff, a lot of the pop music, a lot of rock music, definitely from the '80s and a lot of it from the '90s I dug. I didn't just listen to hip hop. That's my core but I definitely branched off.
That's the good thing about true hip-hop music. It actually teaches a lot of people about different genres of music in and of itself. Mainly by samples, and many times by the rappers referring to different lines out of different songs. Like Method Man on "How High." He starts off, "Excuse me while I kiss the sky." Before I heard that song I was familiar with Jimi Hendrix, but I didn't really realize that that [line] was it [his]. That kind of keeps the connection when people give a nod to the older artists. It's a bug out when you actually discover, "Wow he was quoting Jimi Hendrix." Even though I don't like this song very much, the Wyclef, not the Wyclef song, but Pras did a song with ODB and Maya [titled] "Ghetto Superstar." That was a whole Kenny Rogers song that was sampled, an old country song. It's a really exciting genre that opens you up to different genres that you might not have so quickly been drawn too.
How closely related is your personal musical collection to what you actually play?
Very close. Quite close actually. You're bound to hear a good, I would say, 60 percent of my actual music collection when I play. I try to cover a lot of ground without spreading myself to thin. I try to keep it all coherent and mixed well. I try to keep transitions going. It's funny, most of the things that I play, most of my sets, are just flooded with inside jokes. Not jokes but inside connections that people really have to listen to. It's fine if people don't get it, but I get it. If I'm playing this song and I try to mix this other song in with that one there's usually a connection. This song might have sampled the next song I'm playing. A lot of times I do mini best-of sets. It's not just limited to people who died or anything. It's just that I might play, like, a lot of Outkast. Like three or four songs in a row just to get people excited like, "Aw man, this is all Outkast right now. I'm very happy about that!" That's kind of what I try to keep. I try to keep it fun and keep it going to one direction musically.
How has your experience been with Rawthentic on KDHX?
Great! Honestly, that was one of my big goals, to get a show on KDHX. Back when I was coming up through the ranks and everything I'd always listen to KDHX, particularly to "Street Vibes" and "The Underworld," Doug Morgan's show which is now "The Record Sto'." I've been listening to those cats since, I would say, '89, '90 something like that. I was a big fan of all of them. I listened to different shows from time to time. I finally got to meet DJ Alejan and I got to meet G-Wiz, and Doug. I worked with Doug at Vintage Vinyl and it was just really amazing to be among him and working beside him.
Now I have my own show. I definitely credit it to G-Wiz because he was the one that brought me into 88 [88.1 KDHX] in '06. I'd gotten at him I think a couple of years prior and I suggested that we do a show together if he could make it happen, and he was down with it. He said "Let me take care of it, let me handle it, let me see if I can get it" and 2 years later, because the waiting period is so long and I understand that, he comes back leading up to '06 — he's like, "It's looking good. We got to fill this out, fill that out" and in '06 we made it happen. We were able to get a show on Monday night at 8 p.m. That's like prime time, and I loved it. Then they did the whole switch around and changed up and Wiz couldn't really do Friday so they gave me my solo show on Friday, and now I'm on Wednesdays. It's just a great experience. I know I'm definitely reaching my core group of people that quote unquote "get it." There's no wondering. When you're on 88.1 it's safe to say that the majority of the audience tunes in for a specific reason, and that's to get something that they're not getting anywhere else on the radio. That definitely makes me feel good that I'm a part of this type of organization.
What goals do you have for 2011? Where do you see yourself by the end of the year?
Well (pauses). I'm not one for making plans (laughs). I never really made plans before. I'm not planning anything, but I definitely hope to get more global actually. Definitely more national. At the end of the day, global. I want to travel and perform in different parts of the country, and different parts of the world as well. That's definitely the ultimate goal, just to keep going.
Do you see yourself staying in St. Louis and branching out in the city or would you consider moving to another city?
Yeah. I don't rule anything out. If I stay I definitely want to be the kind of performer where I'm able to travel wherever to perform and just come and rest back here, and still do my events here as well. I don't necessarily have to move away to do that. I do plan on spending some time on the east coast. If not there then definitely Chicago to get exposed to more music, different styles, and to make more connections. Whether or not that lasts a long period of time or if that's just a short month or so, it really doesn't matter. The main focus is to just to keep providing a good performance, good sets with a plethora of music that basically just evokes good feelings. That's about it.
Have you had a chance to do any gigs outside the city or work with anybody in other cities?
Yeah. I've been fortunate to play in Atlanta and down in Miami. Miami Beach I mean (pauses). Or maybe it was South Beach, I'm not sure. It was at this convention in Florida. Texas and Brooklyn, New York with my man DJ Center. I really want to go out to L.A. and see what that's all about, and overseas obviously. I'd love to go to London, Japan, Africa, all of these places. As far as the states I've definitely been fortunate to venture off here and there.
Part 2 of the DJ Needles interview will run on the KDHX Blog tomorrow.

The Lucky One.
I've never seen the point in 4/20.
I mean, I don't have anything against people
who smoke weed. It's just part of life. But
I've never understood why April 20th has
to be a bigger deal than any other day.
If you wanna smoke weed, you're gonna
do it any day, everyday, any fucking time you
wanna. Trust me.
4/20 just seems like a lame excuse.
But I guess that didn't really matter anymore
once we were standing under streetlights at
midnight and my hands were in your hoodie pocket,
playing with your cigarettes because I guess I
was feeling a little nervous. It didn't matter
anymore when I felt your lips against mine and
you tasted like weed and you smelled like
weed and it reminded me of hot summer nights,
light reflecting off the water. Maybe it didn't
really matter anymore because it never did.
I'm never going to get tired of walking the
streets of Tunkhannock at the earliest hours
of morning with the people who matter most.

[09.10.2010 1:02PM] In which I over-do it, go to an Irish concert, drink my first European beer and fall in love with Milka…
So I screwed up my foot, walking too much ya know, and now I have to limp everywhere which is making it WORSE! I went to an Irish concert last night with Mosi and his family, his parents are pretty cool and I had a blast at the concert. Hearing a bunch of old Irishmen speaking German was kinda funny. There were a couple of times when they played a few songs that had no words and almost as one the entire concert laughed as one, this didn't take me very many seconds at all to figure out they were all Austrian inside-jokes: they were exceedingly traditional sounding austrian country-side tunes!
There were a few of the Irish songs I actually recognized and I could start off singing with two or three just from memory! There were several others that were really simple to learn and soon the entire audience was singing along, fairly accented, as I'm sure more than half of the audience only had a rudimentary grasp of english… But they weren't bad singers!
And what would an Irish concert in Austria be without beer? It was amazing seeing some people rushing back and forth with a beer in there hand when they looked a bit younger than myself! But of course, the drinking age here is much more relaxed. My first beer so far here was a Guinness, I know, not very Austrian, but I've still got 5 months, right? I look at beer as another aspect of the Austrian culture, they are, after all, the second highest consumers of beer in the world (the first being the Czechs, the third being Germany…. Where's Ireland on this list anyways?!).
Well, the last thing I'll say is that while in the U.S. I've never been crazy over chocolate… And that's because I'd never tasted chocolate before I came to Austria! Hershey's can jump off a cliff, Milka is where it's AT!
P.S. Note to self, "Bio-Mais-Chips", as much as I wished, do NOT taste or feel like Fritos… They taste, in fact, like lightly salted Corn Puffs cereal (or whatever it's called.) For the rest of my life, I will facepalm anytime I look at Fritos…
P.P.S. Merci chocolate isn't anything to laugh at either!

'Our best havings are wantings'
From a letter written by C. S. Lewis (5 November 1954) and published here:
"About death, I go through different moods, but the times when I can desire it are never, I think, those when this world seems harshest. On the contrary, it is just when there seems to be most of Heaven already here that I come nearest to longing for the patria [the heavenly homeland]. It is the bright frontispiece which whets one to read the story itself. All joy (as distinct from mere pleasure, still more amusement) emphasizes our pilgrim status: always reminds, beckons, awakes desire. Our best havings are wantings."
Posted on February 26, 2010, in C.S. Lewis, Heaven. Bookmark the permalink. 2 Comments.
I just read this in Lewis Collected Letters last night. Similar sentiment from earthly side…
"A little sense of labor is necessary to all perfect pleasures I think: just as (to my palate at least) there is no really delicious taste without a touch of astringency – the bite in alcoholic drinks, the resistance to the teeth in nuts or meat, the tartness of fruit. The apple must not be TOO sweet, the cheese must not be TOO mild."
Having a good place to go always makes preparations for the journey much less tedious, or so one would think. Sadly, too many Christians in today's world have lost sight of our ultimate destination. As a result,they (we) squander countless opportunities to bear witness to the grace of God by expending more and more energy acquiring more and more "stuff" in this temporary world. May we take to heart Paul's statement, "For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." (Philippians 1:21, NKJV)

Why girls ask ,"why do you love me?"
If a girl knows a guy loves her.. Then why she asks " why do you love me?" does she mean she don't love the guy..?Or she loves the guy..? Or something else
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
She's asking why you love her and not another girl. Why you picked her and not another girl. She loves you, she just wants to know why her. Girls tend to have this thing of pointing out EVERY flaw we have. And that leads us to wonder why a guy would choose her out of all the other girls he could have. She's grateful and happy it's her, but also wants to know why it's her when she has so many things wrong with her. Girls are weird like that, we're never quite good enough is how the majority of girls feel which is where this question tends to come from.It could also be that she just wants to hear you tell her the things that you think are amazing about her. She does this because it makes her feel good about herself and that you guys are actually in a strong and secure spot in the relationship where you can be sweet like this and not worry about anything.Hope that helped!
What Girls Said 6
That easy it's because we want to know why? Not just because we are pretty we lol knowin that the guy likes us for a unknown reason lik he loves my laugh or we hav everything in common.. If a guy truly likes a girl than he should hav no problem answering the question
It could be that she has low confidence and wants to be reassured that you still love her.She wants to know WHY you love her... Like why did you pick her. again it might be low confidence... We doubt ourselves from time to time.
I asked my ex boyfriend that question once and he asked me back. Well, basically, girls ask that question to know what about her attracts you? She wants to make sure, that you are not the type that would be like, 'Baby, ur sexy...' She wants honesty and concrete answers. Like, what made my ex boyfriend wanna be with me, was my style of talking, and how I was not afraid of adventure. As for my friend, her boyfriend liked her kisses. It is diff for every situation. What do you like in ur girl? Her eyes, her lips, her character, her laugh... answer her question... :)
We want to know what differences you like so much from another girl that you picked us instead. It makes us feel more secure and confidant that we are winner in your eyes. Giving us valid reasons confirms that you love us for who we are and are not just using us for other things.
she loves you, but she's a bit insecure about herself
Simply because we love to hear good things about us. Hehe :)

Beauty Etiquetter: The Great Hair-Tie-as-Accessory Debate
Beauty Etiquetter addresses your beauty-protocol predicaments with candid advice from industry experts and those in the know. To submit a question, e-mail email@example.com.
The Quandary: Is it unsanitary to wear your hair tie on your wrist?
The Expert in Residence:Elizabeth Cunnane Phillips, Trichologist at Philip Kingsley Clinic, NYC
The Advice: "Summer means heat! For many of us, having a hair tie on our wrist is a convenience so that we can quickly throw our hair in a ponytail. But is it safe and sanitary? Many factors play into the equation. For example, how frequently you are showering. If you shower daily, your hair tie is being cleansed with water and soap and therefore there is less buildup of germs. Additionally, because the tie itself has minimal scalp contact, it is unlikely to cause harm. Depending upon the type of hair tie you use, washing it in the laundry machine will help to maintain cleanliness. Fabric scrunchies should be thrown in the laundry every few days for optimal cleanliness. Regarding safety, it is critical that your hair tie is not too tight on your wrist, because it can interfere with circulation. Wearing a hair tie on your wrist makes life easier, but remember that your health is most important, so keep it clean!"—As told to Aja Mangum

The 21st century centerback is supposed to be as comfortable on the ball as a central midfielder. Sure, they still defend, but the best of breed also need to kick-start the attack, bypass defenders with well-placed long balls, and defuse pressure with tidy outlet passes. Tim Ream, perhaps more than anyone in the entire U.S. national team pool, is a 21st-century centerback. Offensively, he has all the tools. Defensively, however, he has struggled at key moments—especially when wearing a U.S. jersey.
Ream, the New York Red Bulls' second-round pick in 2010, stood out from day one, going the full 90 in New York's season opener his rookie year. After that remarkable first season—in which he was a finalist for MLS Rookie of the Year—Ream earned his first U.S. national team call-up in November 2010 under then-coach Bob Bradley. Ream started and played 65-plus minutes in a 1-0 win over South Africa in Cape Town, and for a few months it seemed like the 23-year-old was on the fast track to superstardom.
Reality set in soon thereafter. Ream started in central defense for the U.S. during the 2011 Gold Cup but some costly mistakes landed him on the bench after two games. A few months later in a U.S. friendly against Ecuador, Ream came on as a substitute, missed a defensive assignment, and cost the Americans the match. Jurgen Klinsmann has not called upon Ream since that contest.
On a club level, Ream is in a better place. He was sold to Bolton in January 2012 and immediately stepped into the spot vacated by Gary Cahill. Although he couldn't save the Wanderers from relegation, Ream impressed with Bolton, establishing himself as a first-team defender and making 14 appearances in half a season. "To be able to come here and prove your worth and show what you're about and play against those teams," Ream told USSoccer.com, "it can only make you better as a player and as a person and help you in the long term."
It's a shame Ream won't be in the English Premier League during the 2012-2013 season—as he's shown he's definitely up to the level—but pushing for promotion in the English Championship will provide plenty of challenges for the promising central defender.—NOAH DAVIS
Klinsmann on Ream:
"He is one of the very promising centerbacks in this country.… He has an extreme will to learn. He's a constant asker who wants to know how to get to the next level." (October 2011)

Personal Information
Currently Teaching (2012-2013)
My approach to teaching is to give you, the practitioner, practical, yet thorough and easy to understand information that you can use in your practice immediately to help bring about transformational change for your patients and your clinical practice.
My unique style of incorporating nutritional therapy to support physiology and function - in contrast to attempting to place a nutrient in a biochemical reaction - makes my approach simple and enjoyable, yet clinically sound.
After receiving my bachelor of science degree in biology from Fairleigh Dickinson University in 1981, I went on to obtain my doctor of chiropractic degree from National University of Health Sciences (formerly the National College of Chiropractic) in 1985. In 2007, I obtained my diplomate status in nutrition (DACBN) from the American Clinical Board of Nutrition.
I practiced as an associate doctor from 1985 through 1987 before opening my own practice in May 1988. I practiced just outside of Cleveland, Ohio for 22 years. For the first 12 years, my practice had a primary focus on musculoskeletal conditions. In 1997, I changed the direction of the practice towards "functional wellness." Functional wellness is the incorporation of nutrition into a chiropractic practice to support function of a gland or organ instead of trying to take an individual nutrient to "fix" this complex biochemical machine we call the human body.
In January 2013, my book, Practicing with Excellence and Integrity: How to Take Your Practice from Good to Great! was published. It offers practical advice that ranges from setting up a practice to improving leadership skills.
It is my honor to be part of the Master of Health Science in Clinical Nutrition program at Northwestern Health Sciences University and I sincerely look forward to taking this journey with you.

Anne Hathaway To Play Judy Garland in Upcoming Biopic
Anne Hathaway is putting her seasoned vocal cords to the test once again.
The actress is set to play legendary actress-singer Judy Garland in a forthcoming. Head honcho Harvey Weinstein confirmed the news during a recent appearance on the Howard Stern Show.
The biopic will be based on Gerald Clarke's book, "Get Happy: The Life of Judy Garland." Weinstein will spearhead the project and wanted the Oscar-winner from the get-go.
He said, "She sang beautifully for me and there is no need for her to audition and the part is her."

They had swagger, melancholy, and a melodic crunch that led to some of the catchiest pop songs of any era. They also knew they were good. Why else name your first album "#1 Record"?
But in 1974, after three years and poor sales, the Memphis-based Big Star was done. Or was it? Reissued by record labels in Europe, plugged by everyone from R.E.M. and Yo La Tengo to the Replacements and Elliot Smith, their music found an audience and the group became a cult icon. All three Big Star records are on Rolling Stone's list of 500 top albums of all time. Alex Chilton, the group's quirky, conflicted singer-guitarist leader, played "The Tonight Show" in the early 1990s with a reformed version of Big Star.

Meet My Zeiss Baby Ikonta (520/18)
This is one of my newest babies, it was given to me by my brother, and I think it's one of my oldest. It's a Zeiss Baby Ikonta, model number 520/18 (which is actually important because there are many, many Zeiss Ikonta models.) It was manufactured from 1932-1936 (which makes it 2nd to my 1913 Voigtlander). I decided not to ask my brother how much he paid for it, since it's in mint condition and the shutter still works…. and I want to keep it… because I think if I let him tell me how much it was, I would have probably told him to take it back. But I did not, so crisis averted yay! This baby takes 127 film, but I'm going to respool some 35mm to test it out.
(and if you want to recommend me for Tumblr Tuesday, that would be awesome)

- Fantastic food!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/13/2014This restaurant was such a treat. My husband and I were visiting from San Diego and I picked it because it's on the iDine program. We took the bus and walked quite a ways just to come! The menu looked unique and decadent and the food was exactly that. We chose to go our own route and not do the prix fixed meal. Wagyu tartare and foie gras were our favorites. The cheese menu was lovely, one of my favorite foods! The service was attentive and knowledgeable. The decor was rustic/simple but romantic and nicely done. I have not one thing to say negative - except that there isn't a location in San Diego :)Special Features:
- Outstanding All AroundOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/13/2014We came for a fancy romantic night out and were not disappointed in the least. We ordered the Five Course Chef's Bounty and every dish was outstanding - each better than the last. The wine suggestion paired very nicely as well. Service was fantastic and pacing of the courses was spot on.Special Features:
- Outstanding service and foodPaulSeaOneVIPDined on 9/5/2014Lark serves outstanding food and is easily a top three in Seattle. The flavors are creative, fresh, and just yummy. The service is really dialed in to visit your table when you need something and to stay away otherwise. It's the only Seattle restaurant I trust to not press me on timing when I want to linger. The menu is not traditional starter/main/desert and is more small plate oriented so have some fun creating your experience or go with their suggested tasting menu. Enjoy!Special Features:
- Our favorite spot on Capitol HillwinnerwinnerchickendinnerDined on 8/31/2014We've been going to Lark for special occasions and to treat ourselves for years, and we've always loved it. It just seems to get better and better. It's wonderful for seasonal dining- Chef Sundstrom is awesome at making every ingredient taste like the perfect version of itself.Special Features:
- amazing, honest!MaggieDined on 8/31/2014in from out of town to visit a friend from graduate school. we had a great weekend of food adventures. by far, hands down, the best-- lark. menu was amazing. server was so helpful. would recommend 3 dishes per person, and definitely share! do it big folks, order anything you want and i promise you won't be disappointed. gnocchi, salmon, octopus, tuna, squab, cheese spread, cheesecake, do it. you won't regret!Special Features:
- A GemOrangeManDined on 8/31/2014This restaurant, tucked into a neighborhood next to Seattle University, is fantastic. In a relaxed atmosphere, fantastic Tapas-style food is served. The sautéed wild mushrooms are the best any of us at the table have EVER had, including two of us who are not lovers of mushrooms! The lamb was incredible. The salmon was as flavorful as you will ever taste. This is one of top 3 dining experiences I have ever had. Strongly recommend.Special Features:
- Best dinner we had in SeattleHappytravelsDined on 8/28/2014We tried Rays and Ivers but they came no where near lark in terms of food or service. An excellent menu and service and a lovely space. I will be back for sure.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lark is a SparkDiscerningVerneDined on 8/23/2014Great and inventive food. Timing of plate delivery was perfect. Way too noisy and disruptive to complete enjoyment. Acoustic tiles woul blend well with exposed rafters.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FabulouscabgoesleftVIPDined on 8/20/2014Everything was excellent. Food, wine, all very very good. ok, the service was fair. not great. But overall, really, really good! Definitely go!Special Features:
- Great food and a value wine listGeorgeDined on 8/20/2014I took finicky visitors from Japan and we were all very impressed with the quality of the food and the great bang for the buck wine list. A very lovely evening all around.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food in SeattleOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/17/2014Lark has lived up to its reputation as one of Seattle's great restaurants. The concept of small plates served family style is such a refreshing way to dine. Ambience, wine list, service were all terrific. But the main event was the food - sublime. It was an evening to remember.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great start, but service declinedRaybandenverDined on 8/10/2014Dinner for five got off to a great start, very appealing food presentation and quality, pleasant service, etc. But, during the course of the evening, as more tables were filled, service dropped from an 8/9 to a 2/3. Correctable, but at this price-point it should not have happened!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Won't go backLeslieDined on 8/10/2014We expected the small plate menu, however we were shocked the prices. The chair I was sitting in was so rickety that I was sure it wouldn't last through the meal. For the kind of money they charge the furnishings should have been a higher quality. Would not recommend to anyone. There are so many good restaurants in Seattle there isn't any hyping about this one that would justify going back.Special Features:
- A great findREMlckDined on 8/9/2014A fabulous find. Interesting, well prepared plates. A nice variety of choices. Outstanding service. Finding a wine from Gratallops, Priorat on the menu made a good evening great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great dinner spotJohnR7Dined on 8/9/2014Outstanding and interesting small plates served family style. Clearly not just another nice restaurant but something special.Special Features:
- Totally UnderwhelmingZRDaveDined on 7/27/2014Tapas - small plates at entre prices. Food was OK but way over priced for the serving size. I ordered the King Salmon ($25). Dish consisted of 2 oz.portion of salmon, about 4 quarters of a small potato, a few thumbnail pieces of mushroom, and about 5 baby string beans in a nice sauce. One of those restaurants where you want to stop for a burger on the way home after spending $100 for dinner.
- Perfect PunctuationHungrySeedsDined on 7/27/2014After a wonderful Seattle Sunday spent watching a show at the Paramount and exploring the city's downtown area on foot, we headed to Lark for our 5:45pm reservation. The hostess and Sam, our server, were unhurried and warm. We ordered the heritage tomato salad, burrata with cherries and beets, sauteed wild mushrooms and the hanger steak. Superb. Well timed. And we just couldn't pass up the dark chocolate panna cotta. Also, I have to say the music this evening was just right.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good foodmartindiningDined on 7/25/2014The food was very good, a bit salty. Portions are small but two portions per person are enough. The type of dishes are "specialty," and you can only find them in restaurants like this oneSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loudness overwhelmed the good foodculinatorVIPDined on 7/25/2014It took a while to navigate the best way to order from the menu. While we were encouraged to order family style, some dishes did not lend them to sharing, but the food was very good. Unfortunately, the smallish restaurant was packed and extremely noisy, to such an extent that it negatively impacted our overall experience.Special Features:
- hapynekoDined on 7/25/2014it was my first dinner at Lark but I impressed so much for all dishes. I like much more than Tom Doyuglas dishes. My VIP guest fro TYO had also impressed all your food. The both of us paurchased your Cooking Book. I like to back Lark again because you are so good. After I read your book my tears were coming. I also like you use local foods from NW. I like to know you don't like to use any foods material from oversea like Japan?Special Features:
- Stands out from the Crowd7thSxDined on 7/23/2014With so many great restaurants to go to in Seattle and perhaps limited days at your disposal how do you decide? In our case we were recommended by the restaurant voted number one. There can be no better recommendation and we were not disappointed. We were made to feel genuinely welcome, full and helpful explanations of the excellent menu was given by staff who were mtivated to ensure that the meal would not be forgotten. And it won't be.Special Features:
- Lives up to it's reputationMKONCAPHILLDined on 7/22/2014I'd heard so many great things about Lark, and they still exceeded my recommendations in every way. The servers were intelligent, discreet, attentive and helpful. They proactively came up with a number of options for my vegan girlfriend. The food was beyond excellent.Special Features:
- Food was over salted and burnedluvgoodfoodDined on 7/20/2014We were really disappointed with our meal. Everything was over salted by the chef. I could even't eat one of the salads it was so salty. Three of our dishes were also burnt. Our fried artichokes were black as was the nectarine tart tatin. The dishes were ambitious but poorly executed. We were very disappointed particularly given the price of our meal. I would not recommend Lark.
- Spot on!OntheGoutTrainDined on 7/15/2014Our final meal in Seattle and we went out with a bang! We found Lark in several "Best of" lists, and decided it would be worth crossing town for. Except for one joyfully intoxicated salesman across the room, it was pretty quiet even as it filled up. We had an excellent, graceful server who interacted with us beautifully, pacing the meal perfectly for us, and very patient with us and our list of questions about ingredients, educating us without any of that haggard foodie pretense. The meal was sublime. One dish was just "meh", but I can't remember what it was because the rest eclipsed it (it was not even remotely bad!) Seattle has an abundance of good food, but next time I'm there I may skip a new experience and come back here for a repeat!Special Features:
- a cut aboveBenEDined on 7/13/2014everything at this restaurant is stellar! My family (party of six) had the five course Evergreen Tasting option from the menu. Stellar service, Stellar food, Stellar space! I'd recommend this place to anyone!Special Features:
- DELICIOUSSDSDDined on 7/13/2014Food was really good- all dishes we had were very tasty and memorable. Simply delicious.Special Features:
- Our Family's Favorite RestaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/12/2014We have been going to Lark a couple of times a year for the last four, or so, years, and have loved the experience each time. The food is outstanding, the sharing is fun and the staff is knowledgeable, thoughtful and attentive. It is spendy for the size of plates you get, but the quality of the dishes make it well worth it. We always take our kids (now 13 and 15), and the staff has never ignored them or talked around/down-to them. That is a huge deal when trying to get kids to try new things, and speaks to the professionalism of the staff.Special Features:
- ScottyOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 7/5/2014Fabulous place!! Amazing food. The eel was amazing and the farro was heavenly. Service was outstanding and everyone was very friendly. I will be back next time I am in town.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ConsistentOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/5/2014My 3rd time to Lark. Food is consistently excellent, as well as the service. Highly recommend.Special Features:
- The full menu shinesShazDined on 7/2/2014I had eaten at Lark twice before, but always as part of their fixed course/price menu as part of restaurant week. This time I went for whatever looked most tempting from their full menu and my dinning experience went from just good to phenomenal! The braised octopus, the foie gras, the Wagyu tartare. It was all top notch. Not a single miss all night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delightful EveningHappyCamperDined on 7/2/2014Everything was right. We were greeted warmly and seated promptly. I think it was the owner that waited on us and he was superb. We like the small plates due to the diversity of flavors. Several of our plates were knockouts - all were good. Good wine reasonably priced. This was our second time at Lark and we will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Must experience!OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 6/28/2014Had a great meal at Lark last weekend. Food was fantastic and our server was great at making recommendations since it was our first time at lark. I highly recommended for dinner and happy hour. The space is amazing and quiet.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Could have diedFrequentflyerVIPDined on 6/27/2014Great food...limited but good wine selection...service was very friendly, but forgot about severe legume allergy. As a result, could not eat one dish! By the way, chair very uncomfortable.Special Features:
- Not what we expectedhungryiDined on 6/26/2014It was our first visit to Lark. Sadly, not what we expected. The warmth and graciousness we had read about was missing, the service rather impersonal. We had the 5 ourse tasting menu. The soup was excellent. The lardo wrapped toast much anticipated turned out to be a tough tasteless disaster. We had come to savor lardo on a recent trip to Italy. The salmon delicious, but on my plate only one tiny taste of the mushroom my husband raved about. The ragu was very good, but the house made pasta owner cooked. Desert delicious, but my decaf espresso too strong and bitter, the lump sugar never dissolved. In all not the experience we had looked forward to.
- Spot on for date nighttestflightDined on 6/25/2014Romantic ambiance matched with great food. Service was good but there was a mix-up on the order (ordered tasting menu but received 3-course prix fixe, which was fine) and we were presented with the wrong check. Easily resolved, but not ideal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pace YourselfshadowtravelerDined on 6/21/2014Lark resides in a modest, quirky building in the heart of downtown Seattle. Their menu is built around small, shareable plates, all very good. 10 for our party of 4 was perfect. While the food was excellent the pacing was not. Lark suggests the table order everything at once. Do NOT do it! Dishes arrived at intervals and in a sequence that was clearly aimed at making life in the kitchen easier not maximizing our enjoyment. There was rarely any pause between plates and they often arrived together in unlikely combinations. You either had to mix together uncomplimentary tastes or finish one while the other grew cold. In short, by all means go to Lark, but consider your menu choices and order them in small groupings of your own design.Special Features:

Changing member avatar link in directory
Hi all
I would like to amend the member's directory so that if a person is not a friend with a member the a href links to the member's profile are removed. The links are on the avatar and the member's name.
This would leave the only call to action for a non-friend as "add friend".
However, if a person is a friend, then the links are restored. (with the action "cancel friendship").
I found this post http://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-check-if-a-particular-profile-is-a-friends/ which I thought I could use to vary when the a href links are shown, but I can't find where in buddypress the actual code is that drives the members info and so the a href links.
Please can you provide some assistance?

Watch out for Godzilla
also LUCKY!
Hi all!
I found out earlier this week that I got an employment position I applied for. If I accept, it will mean my wife and I are moving to Japan for at least a year (possibilities exist for renewing the contract if both sides want to) starting this August. Over the past several years I've done a lot of research on Japan / Japanese culture, studied the language in grad school (though the classes were a long time ago now and my skills pretty much don't exist), and I have been there once on a research / vacation trip. I have no idea which city I might be in or near yet...there are many openings around the country and I have to wait a bit to find out my placement.
This is very exciting, but I'm also a little nervous. I've traveled around and outside of the US quite a bit, but I've never lived too far from things I know for an extended period of time. I kind of know in my head what to expect, but I also know that new and different things will be thrown at me pretty much daily for the next year - and I'm kind of excited about that!
I just wanted to post and see who here has picked up and moved far, far away. Where did you live? What did you do? What are some things that you wish you would have known, packed / brought, or done before you left? Or things that you wish you did while you were away but didn't think of until you were back. Anything you can think of that might help my preparation over the next few months...
Watch out for Godzilla
also LUCKY!
That's awesome ... congratulations I remember the pictures of your trip and how cool they were. Best of luck to you both.
Don't do it Ninja... Don't!!!!
Don't waste all of your energy on stealth you still need to penetrate the chest plates.

Thanks again guys!
On a side note...have any of you ever moved to another country? I'm trying to make lists of things to bring (clothes, meds, toiletries, electronics, etc.) and I'm wondering what kind of stuff might not be obvious but that I'll want to have with me when I get there. I'll only have 2 checked suitcases, 1 carry-on suitcase, and a personal bag to fit my entire life into. Probably 80-90% of my belongings are going into storage, being sold, or getting donated / trashed. I'm just having a bit of difficulty figuring out what that 10-20% that I'm taking should include...

MONDAY, Nov. 15 (HealthDay News) -- Warfarin patients who use
herbal and dietary supplements are often unaware that combining
them with the blood thinner may make it ineffective and even
dangerous, new research suggests.
The observation is based on a survey of 100 patients currently
taking the anti-clotting medication. Forty-seven percent of the
patients combined the herbal supplements with high-risk medicines,
exposing themselves to hazardous drug-herb combinations without
realizing it.
In addition, more than two-thirds reported using herbal and/or
dietary supplements, but only a third said their health care
provider had questioned them about supplement use.
The poll results are slated to be presented Monday by study
author Jennifer Strohecker, a clinical pharmacist with
Intermountain Medical Center in Salt Lake City, at the American
Heart Association's annual meeting in Chicago.
Most of the patients surveyed reported that they did not consult
their doctors before using a supplement, but depended on
information from friends or online sources. However, 92 percent
said they would be happy to disclose their supplement use with
their physician if asked.
Strohecker and her colleagues warned that findings reveal a
serious "communication gap" between physicians and patients that
compromises patient safety and puts people on warfarin at risk for
internal bleeding or stroke.
The researchers advised improving education and patient-provider
dialogue on the subject, while suggesting that supplements carry
labels warning patients of potentially hazardous interactions with
prescription drugs.

According to the FreeBSD Handbook, you're supposed to set the following in /etc/rc.conf:
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"
This normally works, for the most part, but recently when I installed FreeBSD on a laptop, wireless wasn't connecting. After a significant amount of research and trial and error, I came across another guide on wireless under FreeBSD by Warren Block here.
In short, what wound up working for me is using SYNCDHCP instead of DHCP, which tells the system to use synchronous mode and pause while DHCP completes.

September 29, 2009
Seven Rollins community members joined dozens of local volunteers on September 26 to help construct a housing project for Habitat for Humanity Orlando.
Six students and one Rollins alumni and current staff member traveled to west Orlando to help in the construction of one of Habitat's current housing projects, Staghorn Villas, its first multi-family community. Volunteers hung drywall, mowed grass and provided carpentry and painting services.
Habitat has already dedicated the first two buildings of the development, and construction is underway at the third. Once completed, the 3.9-acre, $8 million community will consist of 12 townhomes, providing affordable homes for 58 local families.
Families chosen to live in Habitat homes are selected based on their level of need, willingness to become partners in the program and ability to repay the no-profit, no-interest loan. These families previously lived in substandard, overcrowded or overpriced living conditions.
The volunteer opportunity was hosted by J.U.M.P (Join Us in Making Progress), a student organization that provides volunteer activities for Rollins faculty, staff and students. Although the day was long and hot, everyone seemed to gain a sense of appreciation for the work the community can achieve.
"This is really a different look at what it means to serve your community," said Rollins staff member and recent alumni Patrick McKelvey (Class of 2009). "When selected, Habitat families are required to give 500 hours of sweat equity into building their house. The program is a hand up, not a hand out, because we are working alongside these families and providing them with the skills and opportunities to provide a better life for their family."

Daniel Woods on El Diablo, ~8C, Peñoles, Mexico
Björn Pohl - UKC, Jan 2014
© Daniel Woods (Instagram)
While in Mexico, Daniel Woods made the first ascent of el Diablo for which he suggests 8C.
From his Instagram:
Peńoles was off the hook! 15 days of surviving in the desert allowed me to reflect on the reason that I climb. I love sampling new rock and sharing that experience with good friends.
He found this rig and showed it to me. I got psyched, rapped off of it, cleaned it up, then went into battle with it.
After Mexico, on their way to Bishop, Daniel and Jimmy made a quick stop at Ibex, where they both repeated James Litz' Wing Chun, ~8A+/B, Daniel managing to flash it.

The Three Q's About College
- Friday, September 09, 2005
The typical list for getting young people prepared for college these days includes: get good grades, study like crazy, score well on the SAT, and then start applying. But, does this list serve your child's best interests and really help him/her prepare for and be accepted by the best colleges? We consulted with Jonathan Reider, former Senior Associate Director of Admissions for Stanford University, and asked him which type of education he thought would best prepare a child for higher education? His answers may surprise you.
Q: How do I prepare my child for college?
A: Jonathan Reider: At Stanford, we tend to be tolerant of variety in types of education and curriculum as long as we can have some assurance that the school or education is rigorous and challenging, and that the program has some degree of breadth. We would be reluctant to admit a student who has taken only Math or Computer Science, but no foreign language, or vice-versa. I sometimes suggest to families who consult me about the best "education" to help their child gain admission to Stanford, that they pretend that there is no such thing as college. I know it's a farfetched thought experiment, but it's worth trying. Imagine that they go straight into "life" after high school. In that case, what educational setting will best give them the tools for lifelong learning, which one will stimulate their curiosity, provide some realistic competition and honest feedback? That's the right "education" and preparation for that student, and that will be the best choice.
Q: What do colleges really want to see?
A: Jonathan Reider: Most of our applicants have demonstrated through their high school records and test scores that they could do respectable work at any good college. The challenge of the admissions office is not to select the qualified from the unqualified, nor is it simply to select those with the finest quantitative records. A computer could do that easily, and in fact most public universities use some numerical formula to admit many, if not all, of their applicants. It is still true that fine quantitative records (i.e., consistently high grades in the strongest courses available and high test scores) receive positive attention and are more likely to be rewarded by admission. But this is not the point of the exercise.
Many applicants and parents believe that colleges use subtle formulae of race, geography, gender, socio-economic diversity, and activities (debate, music, athletics, etc.) to compose a class. All of these traits can influence an evaluation, it is true, but collectively they play less of a role than many people believe. Admission officers simply want to enroll the strongest class they can. I am frequently asked about the importance of these factors: what is the average SAT? GPA? How important are good AP scores? Or being a star ballerina or champion debater? And the answer is always the same: it depends on the overall strength of the file relative to others in the applicant pool. Admittedly, this is frustrating to hear when the parent wants at least some sense of the chances of admission, even if they know they can't get a guarantee. But this is the truth. It all depends.
What I am rarely asked about, however, is the importance of intellectual depth, imagination, creativity, or vitality. Yet, at the major national admission conference several years ago, a session on "Evaluating Intellectual Vitality" drew an overflow crowd. This is something all admission officers hunger to find, and most parents do what they can to encourage it in their children, yet somehow it gets lost in the crowd of "factors" or hooks and special interests. We may not be able to define it, but I am reminded of the famous Supreme Court decision on pornography a generation ago, when Judge Potter Stewart said that he could not define it, but he knew it when he saw it. We know intellectual vitality "when we see it." It's the student who takes personal pride in learning, not just in getting the highest grade. We don't give numbers to this quality, and neither the SAT nor the high school transcript measures it. But it's no less real for being unquantified. As I said, we all know it when we see it.

Meet the 2014 version of the Harley Davidson Dyna Wide Glide. The motorcycle continues to offer the purest representation of Harley's iconic design language and comes with a unique set of custom-style features that give it a pretty distinctive character.
In terms of power, the 2014 Harley Davidson Dyna Wide Glide is equipped with an air-cooled, Twin Cam 103 engine with a displacement of 103.1 cu in. The engine is mated on a Six-Speed Cruise Drive Transmission and delivers a maximum torque of 98.8 ft-lb at 3,500 rpm.
The motorcycle comes with a factory-installed next-generation security system that is fitted as standad equipment. The company says that the system "uses a hands-free fob that automatically arms and disarms the vehicle electronic security functions as you approach and walk away from the bike."
The 2014 Harley Davidson Dyna Wide Glide is offered with a base price of $15,799.
Hit the jump for more information on the 2014 Harley Davidson Dyna Wide Glide.
Sissy Bar
The black, wire form sissy bar is a nod to the chopper style with a slight pullback for a unique look. Black like the frame with a retro feel adds to the old school attitude. Give your passenger something to hold, or strap on a bedroll for a weekend run.
Tank Flame Graphics (Optional)
The Wide Glide® motorcycle's Vivid Black finish is pure and mean, but if you want to make a hotter statement, you can relive the 1970's with the nostalgic 'flame' design on the fuel tank. This optional custom look applied by The Motor Company is guaranteed to get stares from envious cagers who spot you blazing down the streets.
Beefy Triple Clamps & Forks
This is what makes a Wide Glide® unique—beefy triple clamps and raked out forks for a long, wide style. The shear amount of steel up front gives this Harley-Davidson® motorcycle a defining look, one you can see coming for miles. Just as fat and aggressive-looking as the first Wide Glide® model built by Chief Styling Officer Willie G. Davidson back in 1980.
Blacked Out Rims & Large Front Wheel
Raw, gritty and no-nonsense—the Wide Glide® model features black laced steel wheels with a large 21" wheel up front for a quintessential long custom look. Out back, the 17" rim is wrapped in a 180mm tire for a perfectly proportioned rear end.
Clean Rear Fender Styling
The lines are clean as the distant horizon and the fender is cut short with a side-mounted license plate bracket for an old school look. Fastened to the fender are retro-style, bullet stop-turn-tail lights that combine to work twice as hard for you—stop beams and running lights plus turn indicators in two low-profile rear lamps.
Drag-Style Handlebar
The Wide Glide® motorcycle features an internally wired 1 1/4-inch bar with tall risers. This beefy custom handlebar is truly reminiscent of a classic, old school raked-out chopper. And with the wires buried in the steel, you get a clean, minimal look with nothing standing in your way.
Pure Harley-Davidson Styling
Feast your eyes on the Twin Cam 103™ engine and there's no mistaking its roots. This is authentic Harley-Davidson style through and through with an attention to detail you won't find from any other motorcycle company. Black powder-coated heads and cylinders are highlighted by machined cooling fin tips and chrome rocker covers. It's a jewel machined out of metal. Pure. Dripping with power. From the classic edge of the cooling fins to the clean lines of cases and covers—the Twin Cam 103™ engine makes an ironclad statement about holding on to what's right and staying true to what satisfies.
Six-Speed Cruise Drive® Transmission
You want a ride that rumbles—not begs for mercy—when you lean on it a little. The Six-Speed Cruise Drive® transmission provides smooth, quiet shifting and reduces engine speed on the highway, so you get a better match between engine turnover and road speed. It's a rare ride when a bike responds like this, and a low growl goes a long way when you're opening up the road ahead.
Twin Cam 103™ Engine Heritage
The knowledge of what makes an engine truly move a rider runs deep at The Motor Company, and it was put to good use when we created the Twin Cam 103™; engine. We sweated bullets perfecting every cubic inch, pushing design and technology forward. And we did it all without compromising one bit of Harley-Davidson's unique styling. Evolved, yet carrying on the legacy of the Flathead, Knucklehead, Panhead, Shovelhead, Evolution®, Twin Cam 88®; and Twin Cam 96™ engines that came before. The performance and durability are a direct result of the untold miles logged on the V-Twin since 1909, and the proud heritage that comes from a century's worth of commitment to life on two wheels.
Twin Cam 103™ Engine Innovation
Fire up the Twin Cam 103™ engine and feel the low-end torque unleashed. Thanks to the lightweight piston design, delivery of the added power is more refined than ever. Then put your foot on the shifter and feel how the engine and Six-Speed Cruise Drive® transmission were designed to work together. Six speeds. A strong driveline and strong internal parts. Low routine maintenance. And a low cruising rpm couldn't feel better.
Twin Cam 103™ Engine Power
Live your ride to the power of Twin Cam 103™. The air cooled Twin Cam 103™ Harley Davidson® engine delivers more stump pulling torque, while its Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection jetting gives crisp, lively throttle reaction. It's a performance punch that you'll appreciate when passing, climbing hills, or rolling with luggage packed or a passenger in back—all under that signature Motor Company rumble. And it comes at lower cruising rpm, so you ride more smoothly, with less engine vibration and better highway fuel economy.
H-D® Smart Security System (Optional)
The factory-installed next-generation security system features a hands-free fob that automatically arms and disarms the vehicle electronic security functions as you approach and walk away from the bike. Stick the fob on your ignition key ring and let it do all the work. It's this attention to details and security that make Harley-Davidson® motorcycles unique.
Standard Anti-Lock Brakes
You may be cruising with swagger, but you know safety counts. This sophisticated ABS gives 'stopping power' a double meaning. Its components are tastefully hidden within the wheel hub, so you'll still turn heads with clean, streamlined design. But more importantly, you get certainty in the saddle knowing your bike's going to behave when you need it.
Adjustable Suspension
Easily adjust preload with a spanner wrench to suit your suspension to your riding style. The slammed low rear suspension gives you a more laid-back riding position and style. Low-profile, kicked back for profiling down the boulevard and hugging corners.
Michelin® Scorcher™ Tires
Michelin® Scorcher™ Tires provide the superior performance, sensational grip, impressive durability and excellent handling expected on a race-bred bike. The exclusive deep-cut tread design improves grip and water evacuation capability. Grip performance and durability is also enhanced by the tire's rubber compounds, which use the latest generation of Michelin synthetic polymers. Under the rear rubber, aramid belts are used to stabilize your ride, which helps inspire confidence in handling.
Forward-Mounted Controls
With the custom forward-mounted controls on the Wide Glide® model, you can kick back a little and stretch your legs for the ultimate cruise through town or across the state line. It's time to take in the open road the way you were meant to—on a two-wheeled machine that's built to outdo the rest.

After much shagging around, I finally figured out how to embed an mp3 player on this amazing website. As a test run I uploaded a rough cut of our version of Mr. Jones by Counting Crows, and by rough cut I mean that's about as good a version as I can mix/master given my limited resources and skill. I'll have a few more tunes ready to post in the coming days so drop by for your listening pleasure. In the meantime, close your eyes and imagine Chris dancing a la Adam Duritz as he sings with reckless abandon.

CIBC Run for the Cure
This morning we had the pleasure of providing live music for the CIBC Run for the Cure, which raises money for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. It was an incredibly well organized event, with over a thousand people attending. A big shout out to the organizers for all of your hard work, and a big congrats to all participants for braving the weather and still having a great time. Next year's event will be held on Oct 5 so mark your calendars and we'll see you there.

So long summer...
Yeah, I know, summer doesn't officially end until September 21 but let's face it, the chances of dying from heatstroke are pretty slim from here on out. So what the hell is going on with YYT? Are we dead? Maybe a little bit on the inside, but we're still on the go, and we're still playing at a venue near you. Summer is always a bit busy for us, as Cordell spends most of his time getting close to nature in his sweat lodge, Scott provides personal protection to celebs like Greg Keelor and Patrick Roach, and Chris works on his benthic sediment collection. Nonetheless, we still managed to play a few tunes at my sister's wedding, and had a great time playing at the Arnold's Cove Fog Festival. This weekend we're playing both nights at Darnell's Pub, and we have a few more gigs lined up for the fall and winter. I can't guarantee this blog will be updated regularly, but our Facebook page will be, so be sure to like us to keep abreast of all things YYT. Stay classy San Diego.

Darnell's Pub Friday, Nov 9
Things have been awesomely busy the past few weeks. Last week we played at the Oasis Lounge in Colliers which was a first for us, and we look forward to playing there again. This Friday we're back at Darnell's Pub in Paradise, so if you're on the go Friday night drop by for a bit. As of right now our schedule is open for the rest of November and December, but in the meantime we're working on a side project that should be ready in the new year. Can't wait to share it with you.

YYT Rocks the Brimstone Saturday, Mar 10
YYT will be returning to George St for one night only at the Brimstone (the old O'Reilly's Pub). It's been a while since we've been downtown so we're really looking forward to it. You can RSVP on Facebook. It's going to be an awesome time. See you there.

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year everyone, hope 2012 finds you alive and well (or at least alive). We're pretty excited about the new year, not only because we're all going to perish in the apocolypse, but because of some awesome gigs that are in the works. Make sure to check back regularly as we confirm dates and places. Thanks for the continued support and see you all in 2012!
