Risky business - Closeups
March 2013 Issue
When the Powerball lottery reached its peak in November 2012, the jackpot had rolled over for 16 consecutive weeks before two players, one each in Arizona and Missouri, picked the right numbers: 5, 16, 22, 23, 29 and Powerball 6. The odds of wining the top prize: 1 in 175,223,510. Still, the slightest possibility of winning was enough to draw out millions to bet $2 per ticket on the big prize. More than 560 million tickets, a record for the Powerball at that time, were sold in 44 states and the District of Columbia. For many, the tickets likely were a lark—a chance to daydream about the happiness riches could bring. For some, it could have been a first-time buy. Others spend a few dollars weekly on the chance for a payout. But for some, the weekly and bi-weekly games, local lotteries and scratch-off tickets are an irresistible lure, the idea of hitting the jackpot overriding rational thought and leading the …

text: Just returned home from a morning casting for the company Dickies and bummed cause I totally didn't get the job! They were asking for a size 4 (I'm a size 2 to 4). Get this…the director said that I was too slim! A little model secret: I even wore 2 pairs of boy shorts (just in case), hoping to add at least a half inch. Maybe, I did sort of notice the director kind of staring at my strange undie-combo. The model that did get the job just laughed and said, "Now this has got to be the only time that being bigger has ever been a good thing for me!" As I was sulking on the opposite side of the fence to myself, "People are you kidding me…when does being too thin ever happen in model land? So all you bigger girls out there, don't go on a diet, cause there are certainly some great paying jobs out there for you too! This is why I love my agent, Linda! Even if a job may not be my stereotype, forte, or even skill, she believes in me so much, that she'll always afford me the opportunity. Love her!

How to shop for and sell SEO/SEM site analyses.
While I work with one particular kind of site analysis, a myriad of offerings are symbolic of the industry at large. There are small but thorough examinations of niche portions of a site -- social media, organic, SEM (define), PHP-only (define), and so on; large, comprehensive diagnostics of a site, including competitive analysis; and everything in between.
Similarly, the price range is enormous. But the quality of the analysis and the price don't correlate as tightly as you might like. That's why whether you're a shopper or a vendor, you must prove you can ask and answer intelligent questions.
Complete Medical History
It's possible to perform a pretty good site analysis without ever talking to the client (an unsolicited partial site analysis can be an efficient sales tool if handled and delivered correctly). But a truly exceptional analysis can be done only after a thorough interview with people who know the site's history.
It's a little frustrating when a doctor can't make a proper diagnosis until after running a battery of tests, doing a full blood workup, and taking a monotonous medical history. But it would be far more frustrating to go to a doctor, get an instant diagnosis, pop some pills, and then find out the diagnosis was wrong.
Here are some questions that I always ask potential site analysis clients, along with some rationale behind asking them:
Same As It Ever Was?
If you're buying or selling a site audit, consider how it might have changed over the years. Shoppers, ask what elements the audit used to examine but no longer does. Vendors, don't give them time to ask, and instead, jump right into it.
Here you'll land squarely on the equator between the hemispheres of "best-practices SEO is timeless and unchanging" and "SEO is so dynamic that it's a constantly moving target." As you all know by now, it's both and neither.
Many years ago, for example, one of our diagnostics included taking a close look at the amount of internalized JavaScript (that is, actual JavaScript code lines) that a page contained. Back then, we bumped up against some pages that weren't entirely cached due to their immense file size, and externalizing the script files was a smart way to help reduce the file size.
Today, that's much less of a problem due to engines' abilities to index much larger pages. While we still evaluate that issue, it's now related more to page load time, and it's far lower on the priority scale than it used to be.
Now Try to Sell It
A paradox of SEO/SEM business development is the client who, on one hand, loathes the idea of "cookie-cutter" SEO, but on the other hand, wants to know (on the first call) exactly what you'll do with the site, how long it will take, and the expected results. This is the thorny path to the garden, and if you can diplomatically and deftly maneuver between the briars, you can educate the client about what you offer and why it might take longer than they expect.

Al George of 'The George Twins'
UKC News, May 2009
© Mark Reeves Al George, a well known climber and Mountain Guide, has recently died. Here, Dai Lampard remembers a little bit about the man who touched so many people.
Al George was born at approximately 11.50pm on the 3rd September 1959. His brother PhilĀclosely followed but didn't quite make it on the same day. Although this was probably carefully planned in the womb (in order for them to enjoy two birthdays instead of one) what they hadn't realised was the dates would separate them in theirĀschool years. Their father Len fought long and hard to ensure they stayed together and so began the association so well known to the climbing community as "The George Twins".ĀĀ
"Apart from the incessant banter, it was the methylated spirit spilling in waves from their leaking stove that caught my attention"Āsays Terry. "I didn't have long to think about it before someone had lit a match and the Gouter Hut's life expectancy seemed to dramatically decrease". With Al and Phil running around like headless chickens it was Terry who came to the rescue and quashed the flames with his fleece.ĀōApart from saving us all a very long walk up the Blanc, this incident also signified the start of a lifelong friendship and Al and Phil's move towards a life in mountains."

2nd Timer Foodie - Need a local's view on my plan
- partyplan Oct 9, 2007 11:07 PM
I'm coming to NYC next for my second time. The last time was for 30 hours only but I still managed to hit about 12 restaurants. I just love to go to these places I've read so much about. Can I get any opinions, advice or DONT DO ITS on my plan?
Friday Night - Arrive
Tia Pol
202 Brunch
Mesa Grill - late Brunch (I know you guys mostly hate it, but I hate a hot dream about Bobby Flay and I think its a sign.)
August - Dinner
Chinatown Brasserie - like 3 pieces of dim sum, just to check the place out
Late Lunch - Spotted Pig
Dinner - Lupo
After - freeman's
Lunch - Grimaldi's
Dinner - Restaurant walk through meatpacking district - I just hit the bar in these places and have 1 item and 1 drink - Spice Market, Son Cubano, Markt, Morimoto, Del Posto (bar) - better ideas here?
Zabars for picnic breakfast
Davidburke & donatella - late lunch
Help - thoughts? better plans?
re: ChowDiva
You might want to add another upscale restaurant for lunch and skip Grimaldi's. Unless you are dying to walk across the bridge for pizza.
Partyplan, what 12 restaurants did you hit in your last trip here?! That's very impressive. And if you told us what you did like and didn't like, we'd be able to give more recommendations. Plus, that way we don't recommend somewhere you've already been...
It seems like you have a lot of sit-down restaurants in your itinerary...would you be wiling to consider more casual, maybe street food or grab 'n' go places? Do you want to hit up any desserty or snack type places?
Also, Chinatown Brasserie does dim sum in dishe of 4-6 pieces, so you might be done after ordering one dish.
re: kathryn
Any suggestions on how to get reservations at Babbo. I called 1 month to the day ahead of time for each day I'd be there, starting at 10am when their reservation line was open and it was busy for 2 hours solid and then when I got through it was booked. For Sunday night, I literally called 100 times. Redial, hang up, redial hang up. ugh.
I went to les Halles, Bar Jamon, Chelsea Market, pastis, balthazar, some Italian place in the theatre district, Cafe Cubana, Gramercy Tavern, Rose Mexicano and some others I can't remember. I shouldn't even call myself a foodie, because its not even about the food, its about the feel of each one and just getting that first taste of what they are like. I actually ate something in about 1/2 the places, in the others, I had a drink or a coffee and just soaked it in.
re: partyplan
Hopefully Les Halles was better than the downtown location which is inconsistent. You have seen and tasted quite a bit on your previous visit. Sounds like you might want to explore East Village (EV) or Lower East Side (LES) on your next visit. Have you done RGR's LES tour?
re: partyplan
For Babbo, with a price, check out: www.tablexchange.com
re: partyplan
An option (although not an ideal option) is getting rez somewhere else and calling Babbo the day of for cancellations.
I would suggest tacking on Tia Pol and their new tapas bar, El Quinto Pino (very close by) onto Monday's itinerary. Tia Pol can be very daunting on a Friday night and it fits nicely into your crawl. There is also a Japanese restaurant with small plates next door to Tia Pol called Izakaya that would fit nicely. Craftsteak is next door to Del Posto and has a nice bar - good oysters and beer list if your into that. If you like Bobby, you gotta like Tom.
re: jsgjewels
What would you hit up in the West Village - I'm open to changing it up for sure!
re: partyplan
Some possibilities (not all technically in west village proper): Alta, Aurora Soho, Extra Virgin, 'ino, Bobo (brand new, but good feedback so far), Centro Vinoteca (right near Morandi, don't know which would be harder to get into at this point), Employees Only, p*ong
re: jsgjewels
def Centro Vinoteca over Morandi, unless if you like Epcot center decor. you can probably get into Centro early but it's pretty busy right now. Bobo needs time - my food was unseasoned and the kitchen is a mess. P*ong you can do later for dessert. I agree with steeltowngrl that Izakaya next to Tia Pol is fun. I'd take the drinks at Pegu over Employees Only though
re: partyplan
Suggest you do a search re: Centro Vinoteca there is a recent thread.
i dont know this 202 place but id skip it and go to freemans for brunch that saturday. you mentioned going to freemans after lupo dinner...its not really big enough for people to linger at the bar area...its also a bit uncomfortable unless you have a table...and their desserts arent anything worth going crazy for.
id skip chinatown brasserie...its a bit lame and deserted lately. id go to momofuku ssam bar instead...or the noodle bar which is open for lunch.
spotted pig gets hella crowded so be aware.
grimaldis isnt very good...id go to 'ino in the west village instead...get a cheese plate, egg toast, and quattro panini...cheap and delicious.
im not a meatpacking fan at all...id go to blue ribbon bakery or market table for a bit of a nice nyc night out.
re: sam1
I really appreciate all the advice. I've definitely made some changes as a result.
Do you think Spotted Pig will be slammed at 12:30am?
Friday Night - Arrive at Midnight
Spotted Pig (Tia pol not open late enough)
202 Brunch (its gotten good reviews and its in the Chelsea market which I want to go to)
Rocking Horse Mexican (after shopping @ H & M)
Babbo - no reservation but I'm going to get in line at 4pm if I have to.
Central park carriage ride (I know, I"m ridiculous)
Carnegie Club for drinks
RGR's LES tour - donut plant for sure
Late lbrunch Freemans - if we're not stuffed
Dinner - August
Lunch - Grimaldi's (my husband insists)
Dinner - Restaurant walk through meatpacking district and chelsea - I just hit the bar in these places and have 1 item and 1 drink - Tia Pol, Spice Market, Son Cubano, Markt, Morimoto, Del Posto (bar)
Zabars for picnic breakfast
Cafe Boulud - lunch res
re: partyplan
Glad to see you added RGR's LES tour and another visit to Chelsea Market. Good additions for your second visit to the city. I usually eat somewhere in Chelsea Market and don't remember seeing 202 inside the Market, I think it's in the clothing store. There is also a new tea salon in the Chelsea Market. The same owner of the T-Salon (sadly, long closed) that was in the SoHo Guggenheim Museum. Her new place is very different. The T-Salon was a special place.
We had brunch at Markt recently and while I preferred the previous, larger location in the meatpacking district it was still v. good (especially the mussels). Please let us know how Grimaldi's is. I have not been in ages.
Have fun!

The iThemes Education Program (Beta) was created in response to the increasing gap between what schools and colleges are teaching and what high tech companies are looking for in new hires.
In a recent interview on the CBS Morning News Show, Sam Tarantino, co-founder of Grooveshark (and college dropout) talked about the challenges he has in hiring people who graduate with degrees in technology, but who are lacking the necessary skills to contribute and compete in the current technology environment. He points out there is a "miscalibration between what schools are teaching and what high tech companies are hiring".
Schools and universities (at least many of them, according to Tarantino) are not keeping up with the times. This is a common concern we hear from many of our high tech colleagues. The missing skills he discussed are the very skills being taught at WebDesign.com.
If you are an educator and are not thoroughly versed in WordPress, PHP, and related technologies, we encourage you to apply for the iThemes Education Program to have access to leading edge tools, technologies, and training to further your professional development. Our goal is to get these resources into the classroom so that students are prepared for what the evolving technology industry demands, and the first step is to get the tools in the hands of the educators.

According to a news release from the Aspen Institute, LATI has a graduation and transfer rate of nearly 76 percent, which is one of the highest rates of any community college in the U.S. The institute also says 98 percent of LATI graduates secure jobs or pursue further education within one year of graduation.
The Aspen Institute will conduct site visits to each of the ten finalist institutions this fall and will also gather additional data on graduates' labor market outcomes from states. A grand prize winner and up to four finalists-with-distinction will be announced in March 2013.
In 2011, Valencia College in Orlando shared the $1 million Prize fund with four finalists.
Here's a list of this year's finalists:
* marks the college has received the distinction for a second consecutive year.

We Topia
We go on Facebook to connect with friends, follow celebrities or artists we have an interest in or play games. We all played some sort of game at one point in our life. When we play a game we earn coins or points which we can use to buy more materials or accessories. A new game on the rise is called "We Topia." What makes this game different than the others is you have an impact on the real world as you play. You build an online community where you meet others and help them. Rather than receiving online money, you earn joy and happiness (I'm serious. You get a happier character). It is great you can help people in this game but the best part is you get to help people in the real world. For example, in my brief time browsing and playing I met people attempting to raise money to bring food to Haiti or bring better education to children in impoverished areas. This is site is really utilizing Social Media and Games to bring awareness and give back to our community.
You are probably wondering how you can trust these people? That is the same thought I had. Well for starters, some people aren't asking for money. They are just simply asking your help to raise awareness. Actually, there is no money involved. People are able to partner with an organization as they work to help and communicate their ideas for them on WeTopia. If you really want a more justifiable claim that this isn't a fake site, you can see that some major partners and sponsors of the sight include, Save the Children, Haitian Partners, and Children's Health Fund. Some celebrities who actually are on this site include Ellen and Justin Bieber. (If you really want to go crazy you can become their neighbors and friends…that is if you can figure out with their code is. I am actually friends with one them).
If there is one game you should play on Facebook, it should be WeTopia AND if you are one of those people who don't have a Facebook, they are do have a website where you can play. (www.wetopia.com) . We Topia, a chance for you to have fun and bring joy to others while supporting various causes.

Just Tell Him - May 85 Reviews
Liv leaves a message for Gerard
She stood by the door looking as if she might bolt any moment. He was shocked to see her. She looked different somehow, not smug like before. She looked almost timid, almost afraid. He sat up straighter and reminded himself just what hell this woman had put his friend through. "What the fuck are you doing here?"
Liv blinked as if struck by the hatred in his voice. "I need you to tell Gerard something." She spoke so softly he had to strain to hear her.
"What, are you gonna threaten to tell some bullshit story again? Why can't you just leave him alone? He's happy now, let it go. He's got someone who really loves him and they're gonna get married. He's found real love, Liv. Not the ugly, false feeling he had with you. Don't try to fuck it up for him."
She stared at him, her body slightly shaking. After a moment she shook her head, "I don't want to fuck anything up for him."
"Then why are you here?" Ray tried to keep the hatred out of his voice but it was impossible. "Is it about your child? Is she really Gee's or does she belong to someone else you fucked?"
Liv looked down at the floor unable to meet his gaze. She couldn't stand to see the hated in his eyes. "Listen Ray I just need for you to tell him something. I just want him to know."
Ray's anger grew worse, why was she acting like this? "What Liv? What the fuck do you need me to tell Gerard for you?"
Liv looked up at him and he was shocked to see tears in her eyes, "Just tell him." She paused.
"What Liv? Tell him what?" Rays tone was harsh.
"That I loved him. Just tell him that I loved him and that I'm sorry." She turned and fled the room.
Ray wondered what the hell had just happened. The woman who had just been standing in his room was Liv, yet it wasn't. Liv would never have let him talk to her like he had just done. She would have laughed at his anger then cursed right back at him. Was she playing another mind game? He leaned his head back and closed his eyes. Did she really believe he would give Gerard her message? His friend had just gone through hell. He had almost lost the woman he loved. He didn't need to hear that Liv had loved him. Ray snorted: Liv had loved him? That was a joke. He tried to put the encounter out of his mind yet he couldn't seem to forget the look on her face, nor her words. Why did she think Gerard needed to hear her message? Why, he wondered, was he feeling almost sorry for Liv?
Donna made Christa feel so welcome that by dinnertime she felt that she had know Gerard's mother for years. When Donna left the kitchen to answer a phone call Christa looked over a Monica and remarked, "Is she always so nice?"
Monica, who was sitting at the kitchen table, smiled, "Did Ray ever tell you how I met Donna?"
Christa took a seat across from her at the table, "Yeah, he told me about how you met her in the grocery store."
"Yep, she saw me and knew I needed a friend. She took me into her home and made us family. I love Donna." Monica took a sip of her ice water and tried to get up the nerve to ask Christa the question that was on her mind.
"You can ask me anything you want, you know" Christa said.
Monica laughed, "I'm that obvious?"
"Sort of, yeah. What is it you want to know? Do you want to know about Ray and me?"
"Well, yeah. I mean Ray is very special to me and I want to think that you and he can have the happiness I have with Gee."
Christa smiled, "When Ray tried to send me away I told him the only way I would leave was if he got out of the bed and threw me out."
Monica giggled, "Can't imagine him doing that."
"I also told him his other option was to get out of the bed and marry me." She watched Monica's face to catch her reaction.
"What did he say?" Monica asked.
"He just stared at me for the longest time, and I stared back." She frowned, "So I'm not really sure but he did say that he had something important to do when he got out of the hospital. Sometimes he drives me crazy how he keeps his emotions so bottled up."
"He loves you" Monica told her.
Christa smiled, "Oh I know that. He's actually told me he loves me. I think I freaked him with the marriage thing but I was serious. We are meant to be together. I put up with him keeping our relationship from everyone 'cause I was giving him time to get over his last relationship that ended so badly. But it's time for him to let it go and move on."
Both women sat in silence until Gerard walked in, "Hey is dinner almost ready?"
He sat down by Monica and draped his arm around the back of the chair.
"Donna said as soon as your dad gets here we could eat." Monica told him with a smile. "They have been seeing a lot of each other."
He grinned, "Yeah, I'm pretty stoked about that. They still love each other I just hope they can get back to together and make it work. Mikey thinks they will."
"I didn't even realize they were divorced when I saw them together at the hospital" Christa said. "They seem so in love."
Gerard nodded, "Yep, they are." He stood, "I'm gonna go see what how Mikey and Kelly are doing."
"Where are they?" Monica asked.
"Downstairs, Mikey and Alicia are teaching Kelly how to play the bass. Alicia has convinced Kelly that she should learn to play cause she should join a band."
"Join a band" Monica repeated
"Yeah, Alicia thinks more girls should be in rock bands. She's got a point and Kelly is pretty talented. So they are both teaching her the bass. I wouldn't be surprised if she picks it up pretty quickly."
Monica was surprised; she had never known that Kelly had any musical ambitions. She and Gerard kissed briefly before he headed downstairs.
The dinner was perfect. Donna made the best fried chicken any of them had ever tasted. Christa found herself enjoying the company of these people as much as she enjoyed the food. They all told stories about themselves so that Christa could learn more about them and the life of the band. Don made Christa feel right at home: he reminded her of her father who had passed away two years ago. As much as she wanted to get back to Ray, she was sorry when she had to say goodbye to all of them.
Kara and Bob dropped her off in front of the hospital. "Christa, give me a call about Saturday." Kara reminded her.
Christa nodded, "I will, and thanks again. All of you made me feel so welcome." She got out of the car and leaned down to the window.
"Well, you are part of the family" Bob told her. "Tell Ray I'll be by tomorrow to see him."
"Will do" She turned and walked into the hospital. She was smiling to herself as she walked into Ray's room. He was sitting up in his bed watching TV.
"Hey, how was dinner?" he asked turning off the television.
Christa walked over to the bed and handed him the small plastic dish of macaroni salad she had gotten from Donna. "It was wonderful. Mikey and Alicia were there, too. So was Gerard's dad."
He nodded, "I'm sure you charmed them all." He dug into the dish with the plastic spoon she handed him.
Christa took a seat by his bed, "So are you gonna tell me what's wrong or do I have to guess?"

A Pinellas County man
is under arrest for trying to carjack a mother and her children, and then
successfully carjacking an elderly man.
Investigators say
Anthony Sutton pointed a gun at a mother and her children, demanding the keys
to her car.
Instead, she ran away.
We're told Sutton then approached a second driver outside the Sweetbay Store in
Seminole. The 82-year-old man was forced to turn over his Buick.
Deputies tracked down
the car and arrested Sutton following a brief chase.

CES 2013: Dead Trigger 2 footage used to demo Tegra 4 chip
James Gilmour
Dead Trigger 2
Madfinger Games
Madfinger Games
Android, iPhone, iPad
Action, Shooter
Nvidia showed us the future of mobile zombie slaying last night, when it gave CES attendees a brief glimpse of
Dead Trigger 2
in action.
The graphics card manufacturer unveiled the sequel to the controversial iOS and Android FPS
Dead Trigger
to demonstrate the clout of its new Tegra 4 processor.
Dead Trigger 2
developer Madfinger was not present to offer a detailed breakdown of the demo, it's clear that the studio's FPS franchise has received a graphical bump, resulting in visuals that are pretty close to those found on home consoles.
As for the
Dead Trigger 2
gameplay, the demo showed a player barrelling around a shabby-looking city, and using an M4 machine gun to take out lurking deadites.
At the end of the video, a gigantic über-zombie appeared, and was then promptly floored by a shooter firing off a few rounds from a heavy-duty mounted gun.
Since the focus of the demo was Nvidia's Tegra 4 chip, there was no mention of
Dead Trigger 2
's features or release date.
However, now the zombie cat is out of the bag, we should expect further news on
Dead Trigger 2
from Madfinger relatively soon.

April 22, 2009
QUEENS, N.Y. - St. John's students and fans of all ages are invited to log onto RedStormSports.com for a historic vote that will take place over the next two weeks. After a near 10-year hiatus, Red Storm supporters have the chance to select St. John's new sports mascot from April 23 to May 4.
In the Fall of 2008, a panel of student-athletes, University administrators and students representing several different campus organizations gathered to brainstorm ideas and nominate potential mascots. The list of choices was narrowed down to six finalists, which will be presented via RedStormSports.com on Thursday, April 23.
Following the open online voting, the new mascot will be unveiled at the start of the 2009-10 academic year and will be visible at many St. John's athletic events as well as around the community. Please keep in mind that only one vote will count per e-mail address. Repeated votes will be discarded at the time of tabulation.
The St. John's mascot concept sketches, which will appear on RedStormSports.com on Thursday, were created by Olympus Inc., renowned nationally as the mascot costume industry's premier designer. Olympus has manufactured a wide variety of corporate, entertainment and university mascot costumes. Highly visible mascot costumes, including Ronald McDonald, Tony the Tiger, The University of Wisconsin Badger and The University of Florida Gator have been designed and manufactured using the Olympus design team's creative expertise.
In the early years of intercollegiate competition, St. John's teams were known as the "Johnnies." It wasn't until the 1920's that "Redmen" was first used and that came about when a reporter used the term after the football team took the field clad in totally red uniforms. According to several written sources and many an old tale, a group of St. John's students led by Walter Bruce (Class of 1939) and Michael McNichols (Class of 1931) went out and found that mascot standing in front of a cigar store. "Chief Blackjack" made his first public appearance in his new position at the St. John's-Catholic University football game at Ebbets Field. When the underdog Redmen went on to a 22-0 victory, there was no turning back. Bruce later admitted that he and others returned and paid for the pilfered mascot.
The decision was made to change the "Redmen" nickname in 1994. At the time, colleges nationwide were becoming more sensitive to mounting Native American concerns in reference to collegiate and professional team nicknames that reference Native American culture. Although the nickname "Redmen" was instituted because the men of St. John's wore red, and did not have an original basis in Native American culture, it did evolve into a nickname that referenced Native American symbology. St. John's wanted to make a change that would stay true to its tradition, but also be distinctive and unique. Thus, the new nickname Red Storm was born.
In the 1990's the University unveiled "Thunder," a red horse mascot, and "Lightning" his smaller sidekick. The duo would not last long into the new millennium, however, and were put out to pasture in the early 2000s. St. John's has been without a mascot since the horse tandem's departure.

What is the Seattle sound? Truth is it changes. Frequently. Garage rock reigned in the mid-'60s. Grunge exploded out of the Emerald City in the early '90s and the world is still reeling. Today, hip-hop acts like Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Shabazz Palaces, and Blue Scholars rule the roost.
Red Jacket Mine sounds like none of these. Led by songwriter Lincoln Barr, this quartet proudly calls Seattle home, but you'd be hard-pressed to pinpoint the guys' area code simply by spinning their superlative new album, Someone Else's Cake.
At first blush, this batch of eleven originals seems more like a product of England in the aftermath of punk, when angry young men such as Graham Parker, Joe Jackson, Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe, and Messrs. Difford and Tilbrook of Squeeze spilled out of the pubs and elbowed their way into the UK charts. (There's even a hint of graphic design innovator Barney Bubbles in Shawn Wolfe's cover art.) But pay closer attention. Trust me, it isn't hard. Someone Else's Cake brims with melodies and lyrics that reveal new, deeper charms with repeated spins.
Barr grew up in Memphis, TN. Soul music is in his DNA. Check out the horn sounds that plump up "Better to Be Broken Than Blind" and the smoldering organ that anchors "Novelty's Gone" if you doubt his River City bona fides. The songwriter and guitarist attended college near St. Louis, MO, a city with deep roots in jazz and blues tradition. Today, Barr also plays with Seattle quintet STAG, and while his own compositions eschew the sugar rush immediacy of that power pop combo for a somewhat subtler approach, they share an affinity for indelible hooks.
The follow-up to 2009′s sophomore full-length Lovers Lookout began taking shape in late 2010. In the wake of lineup changes—bassist Matthew Cunningham had joined longtime drummer Andrew Salzman in the RJM rhythm section—the band cooked up a series of limited-edition, colored-vinyl 7-inch singles. "Listen Up (If the World Is Going to Hell)" and "Bellar & Bawl" distilled Barr's myriad influences into succinct gems designed to sit alongside any of the 45s he might stock in his own jukebox. As XTC once declared, this is pop—just not the kind that panders to the lowest common denominator.
As the singles garnered favorable press and airplay on KEXP 90.3 FM Seattle, Barr's confidence increased. This sound felt truer to his aesthetic than ever, especially after the addition of Oklahoma native Daniel Walker on keys fleshed out the arrangements. More songs flowed forth, accumulating over the course of a year. "Listen Up" was composed in a post-sinus surgery painkiller haze, when its author couldn't even sing the melody. Other compositions slyly reflected the headlines; economics and politics filtered into the lyrics of "Skint City" and "Ron Nasty." So did episodes from daily life. As the 2012 election dragged on, a ranting evangelist outside Barr's office exacerbated his exhaustion with hearing everyone's opinion, inspiring the classic country-tinged "Have You Got a Permit to Preach on This Corner?"
"I'm not writing message songs, but what's going on in the larger world makes its way into the music, even if I'm just trying to write a catchy little soul song," the songwriter admits. Therein lies the beauty of Someone Else's Cake. Something else is always brewing just below the surface of its catchy hooks and clever lyrics. How many times will a listener bop his or her head along to "Listen Up" before noticing its underlying message: when life gives you lemons, take your own life? Monetary terms pepper "Nickel and Dime," yet the losses Barr outlines in his charming drawl aren't the kind reflected in a bank statement.
Barr credits producer Johnny Sangster for helping Red Jacket Mine fully realize its new sound. "We couldn't have gone into this renaissance without his partnership," he says. While they shared points of intersection—Sangster's production and engineering credits include the Posies' album Success; Ken Stringfellow produced Red Jacket Mine's Lovers Lookout, and lends his distinctive pipes to Someone Else's Cake—the co-owner of Crackle & Pop! Studio also contributed a no-bullshit, punk rock attitude that favored brevity and eschewed getting too literal about referencing other musical eras and styles.
Red Jacket Mine isn't part of the latest wave from Seattle or anywhere else. Someone Else's Cake is timeless in its sensibilities, snagging the ear with endearing melodies and lyrical barbs, then engaging the heart and mind with ideas that run deeper. If the end result sounds like an album that's already withstood the test of time…well, that's because it undoubtedly will.

praise for Someone Else's Cake
Red Jacket Mine have funneled a lifetime's worth of spring afternoons listening to records into 11 cleanly polished and highly varied slices of pop music magic.
— Fred Thomas, AllMusic, February 11, 2013
This Seattle band's latest album is their finest work to date. It's a warm, soulful, expertly crafted set of '70s-inspired pop-rock combining elements of early New Wave, Steely Dan, glam-rock, soul, roots-rock and more into vibrant pop gems with clever lyrics and sharp song hooks.
— Don Yates, KEXP, January 18, 2013
Barr possesses one of those elastic, honey-soaked vocals that brings to mind the Rascals or the Guess Who…a joyful sound that makes for any number of welcome returns.
— Lee Zimmerman, No Depression, February 26, 2013
This is heart-and-soul songwriting, full of fire and wit and guts…easily, the best pop record I've heard this year.
— Simon Sweetman, Off the Tracks (New Zealand), March 27, 2013
…unabashed strains of Nick Lowe, Graham Parker, and Elvis Costello…three-minute pub rock rarely gets better.
— Mary Leary, Dagger Zine, March 4, 2013
Full of great songs, inventive musical arrangements and classy vocal harmonies…what more could you ask for?
— Alan Cackett, Maverick Country
other recent praise for Red Jacket Mine
Another smart, catchy and utterly delightful pop tune from this excellent Seattle outfit…RJM is getting ready to take over the world, I swear.
— Michael Toland on "Amy," The Big Takeover, December 23, 2012
"Bellar & Bawl" marries choppy power pop guitars to insistent Memphian ivories, and all the tuneful swagger implied by that description should not be underestimated; this is a song destined, if musical justice prevails, to be covered by bar bands across the land – at first, second, third and last call.
— Fred Mills, Blurt Magazine, May 29, 2012
Barr has a special talent for making new hits with vintage sounds that are above pastiche.
— Chris Kornelis, Seattle Weekly's Reverb, May 11, 2012
[Barr is] one of those talented songwriters who's absorbed a tremendous amount of intelligent song craft and draws equally from across the board. This results not only in instrumentation but lyrics that you aren't going to really get until tomorrow.
— Jason Dean Egan, 7 i n c h e s blog on "Bellar & Bawl," July 9, 2012
One spin of the fresh off the griddle, new Red Jacket Mine 7″ and "man oh man". What a breeze of spring air. Effortless and light but not weightless. A hit song somewhere in the cosmos.
— singer/songwriter Jeffrey Dean Foster on "Listen Up (If the World is Going to Hell)," March 17, 2012
press bio for Lovers Lookout (2009)
Seattle band Red Jacket Mine — comprising singer/songwriter Lincoln Barr, bassist Matthew Cunningham, and drummer Andy Salzman — has spent the last five years honing its craft on stages throughout the Northwest, and it shows.
On the heels of their ornate, ambitious debut, Hello, Old Cloud, the band released its sophomore disc, Lovers Lookout, in October 2009, earning glowing reviews and heavy rotation on Seattle's standard-bearing independent radio station KEXP. The last year has found the band sharing stages with the likes of Alejandro Escovedo, the Minus 5, Jason Falkner, and Richmond Fontaine.
Cut live to two-inch tape with minimal overdubs at Seattle's Soundhouse Recording with producer/contributor Ken Stringfellow (The Posies/Big Star/The Disciplines), Lovers Lookout is a work entirely more immediate and accessible than its predecessor. Touching on Hi Records soul ("Such an Easy Thing"), bracing guitar rock ("Childish Things"), snotty bash & pop ("The Pose"), and smoky balladry ("Fascinated"), the album finds Hello, Old Cloud's often delicate, restrained tenor supplanted by a newfound passion and confidence.
"We set up in the studio just like we play live," Barr says. "Since making the first album, we'd become a band, and I wanted to capture that without any kid-in-a-candy-store studio artifice getting in the way."
On their increasingly-rare decision to record to tape, Barr says, "It's certainly getting to be prohibitively expensive. We could only afford four reels — just enough for an album, really. I kind of felt like, if we wanted to make a record on tape, this could be our last chance. So we went for it, and it was absolutely the right decision. It simplified the process in the best possible way. 'Is this the take? Because we can only keep one.' It either is or isn't. If it feels good, let's go with it. If not, let's play it again."
As on Hello, Old Cloud, Eyvind Kang contributes several characteristically-brilliant string arrangements, but this time around, Kang's contributions favor in-the-moment spontaneity over graceful composure. Nowhere is this more evident than on the hazy esoterica of "Apricot Moon," where Kang's viola wrestles fellow guest Ian Moore's angular, Tom Verlaine-meets-Hubert Sumlin guitar for dominance, consummating in a glorious cacophony of wood and wire. Moore also lends his signature keening falsetto to this track, providing Lovers Lookout with one of its most haunting moments.
With a knockout record in the can and an incendiary live show to back it up, Red Jacket Mine appear destined for the breakthrough their growing number of fans have expected all along. Beyond that, there's no dramatic story of tragedy and triumph. The fellows in Red Jacket Mine are reasonably content, and why shouldn't they be? The story is the music. And the music is good.

praise for Lovers Lookout (2009)
Lovers Lookout is aglow…bursting at the digital seams with pristine pop and luminous blue-eyed soul, with hints of psychedelia and Americana lining the seams…Posies/Big Star/R.E.M. fans will surely find the four young men of Red Jacket Mine to be kindred spirits – but the bottom line is that these guys have the kind of songs and chops that will weather any level of scrutiny.
— Fred Mills, Blurt Online (http://www.blurt-online.com), December 31, 2009
As luminous and warm as a beam of morning sun in your kitchen.
— Brian J. Barr, Seattle Weekly (http://www.seattleweekly.com), January 8, 2010
There is an immediacy to tracks like "Childish Things" and the ever so damn catchy "Showponies" that take very little amount of plays to lodge themselves in that part of the brain marked 'constant rotation.' [...] Jangling guitars, soaring harmonies, and sharp, precise production is the key here making for a good hearty listen…what's not to like?
— Del Day, Americana UK (http://www.americana-uk.com), November 10, 2009
Red Jacket Mine is the real thing…this record, played 100% live in the studio, brilliantly displays how they have every detail of their western desert-lonesome sound, and their evocative lyrics under the command of a powerful vision, which they see through to a gorgeous, glorious conclusion…bleak biblical allusions and dripping-warm Motown love declarations coexist in Red Jacket Mine's peculiar Eden.
— Ken Stringfellow, Lovers Lookout producer, singer/songwriter (The Posies/Big Star/The Disciplines)
The unassuming pop of Red Jacket Mine is a refreshing reminder that talented musicians continue to make wonderful albums. Lovers Lookout is likely my favorite "new" album since Midlake's Trials of Van Occupanther. In a perfect world, Red Jacket Mine would be on top of the charts, but fuck the charts and the radio and the critics. Make the world that you want—and for me, that world includes Lovers Lookout in heavy rotation, particularly when friends stop by for a cold drink.
— Edward Burch, musical curmudgeon & singer/songwriter (Bennett & Burch/Kennett Brothers)
It's as if Joe Pernice joined Centro-matic and we are all better for the union.
— Ben London, singer/songwriter (Burning Rivers/Sanford Arms)
praise for Hello, Old Cloud (2008)
Red Jacket Mine, fronted by the silky smooth vocals of Lincoln Barr, has created a darker American sound…with steel guitars, crunchy drums, and a guitar that often soars into beauteous oblivion, this band will satisfy the country-pop hipster post-rock scallywag in anyone.
— Chuck Dula, Weekly Volcano, Tacoma, Washington, March 5, 2009
Hello, Old Cloud reveals how much Barr has grown as a songwriter in the last five years…[his vocals] are in strong form throughout the record…I am confident that Red Jacket Mine are just getting started.
— Hugh Miller, Unfinished web zine, May 19, 2008
Hello, Old Cloud drifts along languidly, buoyed by Barr's slightly fragile voice and intelligent lyrics. Like spiked lemonade, it's refreshing and intoxicating.
— Barbara Mitchell, Portland Tribune, March 14, 2008
…on the cusp of releasing debut album Hello, Old Cloud, [Red Jacket Mine's] confident orchestrations sound like they've been around for much longer, as do songwriter Lincoln Barr's mature lyrics and smooth delivery.
— Seattle Metropolitan magazine, January 2008

Connecting a MIDI keyboard to your Linux system
A MIDI keyboard is a useful extension to any audio workstation. Learn how to connect a MIDI instrument to your Linux sound studio through a MIDI interface device.
Linux is growing increasingly competitive as an environment for composing and playing electronic music. One important feature of the New Music scene is an electronic keyboard that outputs digital information in MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) format. The MIDI protocol supports communication between electronic musical instruments and computers. MIDI does not transfer sounds, but sound descriptions, such as "play a C-sharp on a grand piano as a quarter note at 80 beats per minute." This approach makes it easier to encode sound events in a far more compact way than would be possible with real sound data streams. At the same time, you can use any suitable MIDI sequencer and a MIDI keyboard to load melodies directly into your computer, where you can then change the notes and beat, transpose the key, or use different instrument sounds for the arrangement.
