text: Andy O'Leary The Nightside with Andy O' By Arvida Rascon • Nov 19, 2016 From 8p.m. til Round Midnight Four hours of the radio theater of the mind...Poetry and All That Jazz from Armstrong to Zorn, to Angelou to Zapruder. A mix of spoken word, brilliant lyrics and great music from every decade of the music we love....with surprises and discoveries to wrap up your weekend and send you into a new day. Add to that live performances from the archives of KUVO and as always entertaining fun that Andy O' brings. The Working Musician as on-Air Host By Peter Furlong • Apr 25, 2014 KUVO/KVJZ is fortunate to have several volunteer on-air hosts who make their living as professional musicians. These performers worked years developing a music product suitable to the tastes of demanding listeners. The performer's peers are demanding of even higher standards, a level of respect to be met if the musician is to work in collaboration with these peers. The performing artist must learn to recognize quality in their own work; and,staying abreast of the innovative work of others enables the musician to identify the changes occurring in the larger art collective. Andy O'Leary By Peter Furlong • Apr 25, 2014 This is the second in a series featuring interviews with the KUVO 89.3 FM on-air hosts who also work as musicians—serving two roles as album players and bandstand players. They step up to two mics. In this series we are discussing on-air hosting to which these deejays bring a professional musician's perspective.

Zen Gardens – A Quick And Helpful Guide
Zen gardens ARE part of Japanese gardens and their culture. In Kyoto for example you can see some of the World's finest examples of Zen gardens. Often they are part of the grounds of temples but their popularity all over the world means that they have become multi faceted and mutli purpose.
Zen gardens can be indoors, on roof terraces and obviously outdoors. A Zen garden should have more than one meaning for the viewer – interpretation is key. As the Japanese say 'the mind is flexible if we practice flexibility'.
Listen To Our Zen Gardens Podcast….
Here is our latest 'Turn Your Garden Japanese Podcast' that you can listen to and it will tell you pretty much everything you would want to know about Japanese Zen gardens or to give them their correct name 'Karesansui' gardens – take a few minutes to relax into the world of Zen gardens and CLICK on the audio player below:
Buddhism is the root of Zen gardens and they can be used on many different levels. In Japanese the word 'Karesansui' means 'dry monutain water'. Hundreds of years ago Buddhist monks would draw metaphors in dirt and so began the basics of Zen gardens withing ZEN. It is after all an aspect.
The Purpose Of A Zen Garden At Home….
For me a Zen garden is all about making the visitor or owner feel comfortable. Away from the hustle and bustle of life going on around you. a garden with a few rocks and raked sand has a tremendously calming appeal. It encourages the mind to focus on what we see and not flit around all over the place.
Zen gardens are very practical for meditation because of their feeling of calmness. The were almost visually medicinal in a way. In years gone by the wealthy, samurai and even high ranked politicians were invitied to take Tea and view these types of gardens from seated galleries. They would take in the elements of the garden and appreciate it's meaning – for example a large stone in the middle of a Zen garden should represent the centre of the universe.
Zen gardens are designed to help us get away from a single subjective view of life . They can be visually decieving to stimulate the train of thought of a viewer. A good example of this is Ryuan-ji Zen garden which has 15 stones but wherever you view the garden from you can only see 14 stones.
Zen says that you cannot see all the things all of the time.
Some Zen gardens demonstrate the forces of YIN and YANG – the Chinese understanding of natural forces that alster our lives and the changes in our environment. In Buddhism a similar belief is called NIYAMAS – a belief of natural forces that can change our lives and world.
Would You Like To Learn More AND Have Your Own Peaceful & Serene Japanese Garden Space?
Zen gardens are a pretty complicated subject and if you would like to make one make sure you do your research. a lot of people like the concept and love the feeling of visual and literal tranquility that they bring.
Here is a guide to the essential ingredients for a Zen garden so you can get planning and designing. Don't forget to 'level' an area of your yard or garden and get rid of the dreaded weeds completely:
Stones: try not to get stones that are too small. Arrange then before adding them to your garden until your feel happy with their placement. Take a photgraph to remember the arrangement for ease of adding them to the garden later on.
Rocks: You will need quite a few – it is best to gather them together in groups no lower than 3 and about 4 or 5 of those stone clusters will be sufficient.Partially bury your larger rocks into the ground in the layout that pleases your eye.
Brick and Wood: Primarily you will use either of these to 'edge' your garden space. You can use stones if you wish.
Fabric– you should source some landscape fabric cover sheeting. Cut to cover the base of your entire garden space. This will help prevent the return of weeds and provide a surface for your next ingredient.
Sand / Small Pebble Gravel: a covering of 4 to 5 inches will be enough ( approx 8 to 10 centimetres) going around the rocks and up to the edge of the Zen garden on all sides.
A Rake: This will give you the final 'Zen garden' look. Rake the sand or gravel as simply as possible. Take a look at photo's and copy their raking if you want to be influenced by the expert Zen gardeners.
You can add pottery pieces, maybe a statue, a small pond it is up to you. these types of gardens are tranquil and peaceful and SO easy to maintain – no growing and apart from plucking out the odd protruding weed there is very little to do.
Zen gardens are special peaceful havens in a busy and stressful world and they are pretty simple to build and you will have fun too!

Making A Japanese Garden – Some Unlikely Inspiration?!
On a recent visit to Norway I visited an extraordinary tropical flora garden on an island near Stavanger.
It was stunning and is a garden that was developed with countless years of planning and careful planting. The family that run it used to run a flower business in the city but the grandfather found a small island to relax in and his love of gardening started to take over!
It is now over 20 acres big and features a large bamboo and bonsai garden. If you are intending making a Japanese garden at your home – or maybe it is a distant drweam?!- you will get some inspiration from these pictures.
They are from a board of pictures we have set up on Pinterest dedicated to our garden visit. Acers, Maples, Koi, pathways, edging, bonsai trees of all sizes, bamboo, rocks and a lot more. Take a look and be inspired! CLICK HERE TO SEE THE GARDEN

Design Principles For Making A Japanese Garden At Home
The first design principle to be absolutely clear about when making a Japanese garden is that ALL elements of nature are present in these types of gardens. In Western style gardens it is usually far fewer elements of nature that are used in any one garden area.
Japanese gardens use more water – whether wet or dry- than a Western garden. Rocks and stones are much more common as ingredients too. There are reasons for this and a read up on Japanese garden history will explain all.
Gardens in Japanese culture have spiritual, historical and cultural meaning. You can read about all the aspects of Japanese gardening in one free book that I have prepared for you CLICK HERE to get your copy and also for access to my Japanese garden Newsletter called 'The Japanese Garden Bulletin'.
For now I want to simplify the design principles so that making your own Japanese garden is simple and straightforward.
Most Japanese gardens reflect real landscapes that you see in nature. This is something called 'borrowed scenery'. What a designer does is copy a real piece of scenery only in miniature.
You don't have to do this because you have something called an imagination. Don't be afraid to use it,think about the elements that you would like in your 'mini' landscape garden and let your mind wander. Use stones and rocks as hills and mountains, sand or gravel as water, small shrubs and grasses as plantings, trees like Acers / Maples and so on.
Think of creating a scene that catches your imagination and reduce its scale to give you a manageable garden space. There is nothing to stop you thinking big but that does mean a lot of work – it is far better to start making a Japanese garden on a small scale and once you have confidence and more knowledge increase the scale.
A pond could signify a lake, raked gravel the swirling movement of an ocean. A lot of people like water in a garden space – in a Japanese garden you can do this although in a Zen garden it is not generally included as the sand and gravel are the water area.
Flowing water in a Japanese garden signifies the passage of time. Fountains are rare but waterfalls ( more natural) are fra more commonplace.
Japanese gardens usually appear very ordered and manicured but can also be wild and even tropical in design. This gives you a lot of options depending on what garden space you have vaialable and what sort of climate you have.
One thing that I recommend is a border for your garden. It is the division between your peaceful , stress free haven and the outside world with all the distractions that go with it.I prefer a border of bamboo eith in cane form or using a growth of black bamboo for example.
Fencing ( low level) is more rustic in look and you can have a gate in a Japanese garden , usually they are found only in Tea gardens.a nice touch in larger gardens is to separate areas of a Japanese garden with different borders as the viewer and visitor moves seamlessly between areas of the garden.
Never over clutter a Japanese garden. The Japanese enjoy free space and the elements of your garden will look more natural and stand out as a result. If you want to plant dry climate plants or cactus in a Zen / Japanese rock garden then space them out to get the same effect. Less is more in a Japanese garden space and empty areas are not only authentic but pleasing on the eye to the creator and visitor!

Trees, Plants and Shrubs For Making A Japanese Garden
When making a Japanese garden it should look older and more established than its surroundings. Plants, Shrubs and Trees can help bring your garden space to life and make it appear at one with nature.
Avoid over cluttering your garden and you may find that you have to slightly control your enthusiasm. Always pick living ingredients that suit the climate where you live and don't be afraid to plant trees like Maples in colder climates as they survive in Japan in temperatures well below minus 10 degrees.
The heat of the sun is more of an enemy than the cold and ice.
This article is going to give you some suggestions on what to consider adding to your Japanese style garden and I promise not to get too technical. But if you want to find out more detailed information you can download a free copy of my book '11 Simple Ways To Turn Your Garden Japanese' by CLICKING HERE. As you become more adept at this form of gardening and you acquire more knowledge you can start to spread your wings a little.
A popular common element in a Japanese garden and Zen gardens are small Coniferous shrubs. Evergreens provide colour all year round and will help your other trees and plants stand out during their seasonal changes.
A good rule of thumb when making a Japanese garden is for every Deciduous planting plant 2 evergreens. Coniferous shrubs really fit the bill as they are hardy and require little maintenance apart from some minor shaping and pruning. They really look striking when planted near rocks and stones and because they start off small and the view actually gets better over time. Remember to plant with spaces between them and other shrubs or rocks to allow this growth.
You have literally hundreds of varieties and species of Coniferous shrubs to choose from and popular ones include Mugo Pine, Dwarf Balsam firs and Next Spruce.
Bamboo is another popular addition in a Japanese garden not only for separating areas but also in plant form. Tea gardens always have arrangements of Bamboo but for your small space garden then these are the varieties of Bamboo plants that will work best sasa, dake, chiku and take.
Japanese garden plants are chosen for their flowering and if you want a cavalcade of colour to contrast with your evergreens and trees then Herbaceous Japanese plants will be the solution.
Morning glory , Iris, deadnettle, Lily Turf, Kuzu Vine, White Radish, Japanese Pampas grass, Henbit, Horse Radish, Japanese Ardisia, Peony, White Chrysanthemum are plants that flower very colourfully but also in most cases have very green leaves providing a beautiful contrast.
You can use Azaleas and Camellias to great effect as well. For the spectacular there is the climbing Japanese Wisteria which grows vertically and is covered in white flowers to a maximum height of approximately 5 feet.
Bonsai plants/trees are popular too but be warned they take quite a lot of looking after and need to be skilfully watered and pruned. These are usually placed in suitably sized pots or containers around the garden area. Some like the Japanese Maple bonsai look wonderful planted between two rocks whilst others like Japanese Black Pine or Japanese White Pine , Plum and Cherry flourish better in a container.
By far the most popular bonsai plant in a Japanese garden is the Japanese Black Pine which is hardy and looks green all year round. A balance of colour is what you are looking to achieve throughout the 12 months of the year.
I hope you have found this useful and you can find out a lot more about creating your own Japanese garden space at home for a feeling of peace and serenity by claiming your copy of my FREE book and Japanese garden newsletter called 'The Japanese Garden Bulletin' by CLICKING HERE.
Making A Japanese Garden – Flat Gardens
Flat gardens within Japanese garden culture one of the simplest forms of gardens you can consider when planning a Japanese garden space.
Flat gardens, or Hira-niwa in Japanese ,do not have hills and do not have any water in the way that a western garden would. The flat area which is essentially made of either sand or more usually gravel IS the water. All Japanese gardens tend to be a lesson in environment and space.
Just like in a Zen garden the gravel is raked into swirls and different shapes to give the impression of the movement in a body of water. The ground is usually covered this way and on occasions I have seen flat gardens that use very small pebbles ,once again raked in circles and straight lines to give the impression of water ripples.
A flat garden can include many familiar ingredients that you would expect when making a Japanese garden. Stones, Rocks, Trees and Shrubs are very common. The trees although natural will be pruned and the low level shrubs and bushes shaped on the edge of the water space.
Flat gardens were first designed to interpret and in miniature mimic Japan's seaside landscapes or some of its grander lakes, a journey through Japanese garden history points to war and water shortages as to why water was replaced by gravel as a 'dry' substitute. This is a trend that has continued for hundreds of years even in peacetime and with abundant supplies of water. The Edo period of Japanese history is when flat gardens became very popular.
Interestingly water features apart from a body of water are fairly common in a Japanese 'Flat' garden. For example, large upright stones can symbolise a waterfall and this something that you can copy for a garden space that you have in mind however large or small.
Use non sharp edged rocks or stones ( Granite) to depict islands within your gravel water area. 3 together is a popular representation of 'The Isles of The Immortals'.The Japanese Circle and Gourd Islands are often copied and represented in the gravel water area to add the spirit of enlightenment. You will be able to get the correct rocks and stones from your local aggregate supplier – take sometime to consider the shapes that you want and strictly speaking for authenticity you should not use rounded stones.
Other ingredients that you may wish to add to a flat garden are stone lanterns, included for the illumination of parts of the garden at night, basins and if you are very ambitious even a well ! Well's are normally constructed out of wood and have some way of getting the water out of the well – a pulley and bucket or a large wooden spoon are common.
Stepping stones can be placed across the gravel water area and look very effective if they lead to the far side of the gravel area where a rustic hut or pagoda is located. After the 16th century this was a popular type of design where the hut would be used for the slow and meaningful Tea ceremony.
A completed flat garden will give a real impression of depth of space to the viewer as the eye is drawn into the water area with the clipped shrubs on the faraway edge. The stones or rocks placed carefully within the raked gravel 'water' area give a feeling of depth and perspective relative to the scale of the garden.
As a Zen garden is designed to be viewed from a single space it is exactly the same with a Japanese flat garden. The view is sometimes 'framed' when a veranda door is opened or when looking through a larger window into the garden itself.
A flat garden is often seen as similar to a landscape painting when designed and built correctly to scale. The viewer's eyes are drawn across the water to the carefully clipped low level shrubs and plants like Lilies or Azeleas. In Japan plantings are deliberately made in a flat garden to show off the seasons.
Maples for the autumn , Cherry blossom looks its best in Spring, the soothing impression of water signifies summer and something like a Black Pine denotes the winter.
Flat gardens became an alternative to hill gardens in Japan as were amongst then first residential gardens added to the homes of ordinary Japanese people and they continue to be a wonderful type of garden today for any yard or garden area.
I believe a 'Flat' or Hira-niwa garden is a cost effective and beautiful option for a domestic Japanese garden as it includes some of the essential ingredients needed for a Japanese garden as well as the classic Japanese garden design method of borrowed scenery. This is where the designer either copies a specific landscape in miniature or use existing scenery such as a hill located outside of the flat garden space to include it in the overall garden view.
But, lets face it, not many of us have a natural piece of landscape that we can include in our overall design so just the copying of a real or imaginary landscape will be more than enough. Creating miniature landscapes allows your creative juices to flow and your imagination to run wild! All the more reason to get started on building your dream Japanese garden space.

With outside gardening slowing down and
only the mild distractions of the holidays looming, it is time to contact me
with ideas and/or outlines for articles for the next Aroideana. I have some
good papers promised with serious taxonomic subject matter and now need more
that will be of value to members whose interests are more practical. Don's
email on photographing plants for id purposes could well be expanded – I could
see it taking in the consideration of what features particularly need to be
photographed in any one genus to make the id possible. There have been other
mentions of this in recent postings: a nice collaborative paper on this would
be of great value. More hands-on topics? Of course, and again a collaboration
by growers in different parts of the world on a topic might provide something
of general interest and real value. Please remember that I can assist with the
writing and editing, and can coordinate efforts, but this is all takes time,
and the deadline is only a month and a half away. What about a regional review
of people and gardens to visit when travelling through an area? I'm
not going to write these things, but will be glad to consider them or any
others for publication.
So, all the people who say that the
journal needs to be of more general interest need to get stuff to me for
consideration. I can't print what I don't have.

Subject: [Aroid-l] Using photos
for plant ID
Taking photos of our plants is sometimes a
challenge, particularly when we want to post them for others for
identification. They may be indoors, in poor light, in a difficult or
awkward location or position. Our goal should be to obtain a photo with
as much detail as possible.
One common problem seems to be that photos come out too dark, with insufficient
detail. Using a flash isn't always the answer, as it can give a
washed out appearance. A technique which I often use is to use my photo
editing software (Photo Studio – a very simple program which came with my
scanner) to take a dark photo and increase the brightness. See how this
technique has modified 2 photos recently posted for ID. The
"new" photos make not make the ID, but there is a lot more with
which to work.

Don't Pay for Air: Keeping Your Tires Inflated Without Inflating Your Debt
Keeping your vehicle's tires properly inflated is one of the most important yet overlooked aspects in staying safe and preserving your vehicle's gas mileage. Under-inflated tires will decrease fuel efficiency and increase your tires' sensitivity to the heat caused by the friction of driving. No matter how new your car or your tires, you need to check your tire pressure at least once a week. Here is how you can keep your tire properly inflated without constantly chucking all your change into a gas-station air pump.
Step 1: Buy a Portable Air Compressor
You can buy a portable air compressor from any large retailer or auto parts store. If you are shopping close to the holiday season, you can also find them at various discount retailers and department stores.
These air compressors are small but capable of filling car tires to their maximum capacity. Usually they are powered through your car's 12V DC ("cigarette lighter") outlet.
They usually range in price from $10 to around $30, making them a great investment considering how much change you might throw away at the gas station pay pump. Another big advantage: you can take it with you wherever you go, so if one of your tires is low, you can fill it up as soon as you notice it.
Step 2: Know the Recommended Air Pressure
Next, you need to know the air pressure value that your vehicle's manufacturer recommends for your tires. You can usually find this out from the sticker on the inside panel of the driver's side door. For most passenger cars and light trucks, the recommended pressure ranges from 30 to 35 psi (pounds per square inch).
Step 3: Fill Up Your Tires!
You will then need to plug the air compressor into the DC outlet. Usually it is a good idea to roll down your window and stretch the cord through it. It will most likely be long enough for you to set the compressor on the ground by the two tires on the driver's side. You will then need to stretch the cord through the passenger's side window to fill up those tires.
Also make sure to periodically check the air pressure with a separate gauge while inflating the tire. Although the compressor will likely have a gauge built in, I find that these usually are not reliable, sometimes reading up to ten pounds above the actual pressure. If you don't already have a gauge, it's a good idea to get one of the circular ones with a needle indicator as opposed to the metal stick-type variety. These can become unreliable after a couple of years of use.
BIG TIP: Don't forget to check your spare tire's air pressure! If you drive anything other than an SUV or pickup truck, your spare tire likely requires up two times or more air pressure than the regular tires because of its smaller diameter. This also means that air leaks out of these tires faster. These "donut" style spares can be fully inflated one week and lose up to 75% or more of their air pressure the next. Of course, if you carry your air compressor with you (most of them are easily able to be stowed in the trunk or behind a seat) and you get a flat tire, you can check the spare's air pressure at that time and fill it up to its required pressure, often from 65 to 75 psi. But it is best to do this when filling all of the other tires. As in all aspects of driving, it is always best to be prepared for the worst.
Portable air compressors can be bought cheaply and stored in your vehicle easily.
Make sure to fill your tires up to the recommended pressure indicated on the label attached to your vehicle.
Monitor the air pressure with a separate tire gauge, preferably one with a needle and a scale higher than 70 psi.
Try to find an adapter that will let you connect the portable compressor straight to the battery to avoid burning out the interior 12v DC outlet.
Don't forget the spare tire! If you are driving a car or other compact vehicle, your spare could be smaller than the rest, requiring 65-75 psi.
Be safe out there!

I wished I knew this kind of stuff!! Ha. Loved this hub, very useful stuff! I'm really gonna buy one, bad roads and all.
This is an excellent, useful guide. I wish people going to driving school were taught things like this! Awesome Hub!
Most gas stations will give you tokens to operate the air refilling station if you buy gas from them. You just have to ask.
It was a sad day in America whenever the conspiracy to charge money for use of the air compressor became a convenience station viral meme....

"Jubilee" Video!
Check out our new video of Jubilee! Enjoy, share, beware the weird faces we make...and please don't sew your lover to your side like we suggest in the song!
Come, April 4, to our CD release!
We're getting super excited to share "Long Before Light" with you! Seattlelites (and a few of you wackos coming from out of state!) can get the CD before the rest of the world at our CD release party, 8 p.m. April 4 at Town Hall Seattle. (Advance tix are $10/$5 student; get them here. Day of are $5 more.) It's gonna be a beautiful night. Consider this:
Atlas Stringband, arguably Seattle's premier purveyor of old-time music, gets things rolling just after doors open at 7. They'll be playing in the Town Hall Café, where you can nosh on snacks and beverages (including beer and wine) while chatting and rubbing elbows with the nicest people in the world (or fans, duh!).
Then, at 8 p.m., Kristin Andreassen takes to the Town Hall stage, performing songs from her latest CD, "Gondolier." Kristin, with whom we've spent countless hours jamming into the night, is the folk world's latest darling, criss-crossing as she is the country at the beck and call of folk stages and radio stations. You will love love love her.
Finally, it's release time. We'll play a good amount from our new album, and even toss in a few new things we're working on. Our producer Tristan Clarridge (Crooked Still/Bee Eaters) will join us on a few numbers, as will our favorite bassist in the whole wide world, RuthMabel Boytz.
If you can't make it, we'll be glum and blue, but there's light at the end of that dark tunnel: The CD will be available on iTunes and CD Baby on April 8. It'll brighten your day, and then some!
Reviews for 'Long Before Light': Not that bad! ;)
Actually, they're overwhelmingly positive, so far. Way positive. And biased as we are, we're not totally surprised. It's been six months since we were in the studio, and we still love listening to each and every tune.
But this post isn't about our review of ourselves. It's about what others think of us. So far, we've had two lengthy reviews, one from Los Angeles, and a second from Great Britain: "...bucket-loads of talent, musically accomplished with voices that match the messages." We had a mini review from Americana Rhythm Music Magazine of Bridgewater, Va., which you see to the immediate left! And finally (at least for now), a mini-mini-mini review from Sing-Out Magazine's Pinterest page (you can pin it!), and we quote: "Very good." Not bad!
Modern folk meets new jazz, Aug. 8 in Seattle!
Hold onto your seats, folks, because there's a new wind blowing through town: It's a heady Northwest mix of folk and jazz coming when The Onlies join The Westerlies for the latter's Seattle CD release party., 7:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 8, at Seattle's Royal Room in Columbia City. You likely know all you need to know about us Onlies, but if you haven't heard The Westerlies, do yourself a favor.
Graduates of the Garfield and Roosevelt Jazz Orchestras, the four Westerlies found themselves together in New York City and decided to form a band: Two trumpets, two trombones, and unlimited imagination. We've listened to them live, can't get enough of their new CD, Wish The Children Would Come On Home: The Music of Wayne Horvitz, and we're super proud to be opening for them. And we're not the only ones with goose bumps. NPR's Fresh Air gave the CD a great review, and they've garnered accolades from a host of jazz critics. Kurt Gottschalk of NYC Jazz Record put it this way: The CD "is a lot of things, but first and foremost it should be noted that it is just a lovely listen. It is that rare combination of approachable and unusual that can challenge listeners who want to be challenged and entertain those who don't."
Tickets are $20 adults, $10 students, and apparently are going fast. You can get yours at StrangerTickets.com.
NW Folklife: THE folkstravaganza of the year!
The Onlies Present: Bluegrass 'supergroup,' Wed. Jan. 8
The Onlies want the world to hear five acoustic-string geniuses, and to that end have invited them all to perform a house concert at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 8 in Madrona, at the fabulicious home of Gretl Galgon.
Tashina Clarridge and Simon Chrisman of the Bee Eaters have brought together an all-star band to play and sing two sets of high-octane bluegrass, taking a break from their regular gigs to revel in the sounds and grooves of traditional bluegrass, a music in which all players have deep roots.
The musicians are:
- Dominick Leslie on mandolin (Deadly Gentlemen, Missy Raines & The New Hip)
- Luke Price on vocals and guitar (Scott Law, Tony Furtado)
- Ben Krakauer on banjo (Old School Freight Train, David Grisman)
- Tashina Clarridge on fiddle (Bee Eaters, Tony Trischka)
- Simon Chrisman on bass (Bee Eaters, Jeremy Kittel).
Though these five have shared the stage and toured together over the years in various combinations, the roots of their connection grow from late-night jams they've had at festivals, parties, and music gatherings… and that's the energy they'll be bringing to the stage on this one-off run down the West Coast: The playful exuberance and freedom of making music just because it feels good.
The Onlies will play a new tune or three to begin the evening, and then turn the stage over to Tashina, Simon, and friends. Please come, and invite your friends: It'll be a faboo way to usher in the new year!
Entrance is $15, students $10. Come at 7 for snacks, non-alcoholic beverages, and wine in the loveliest of venues! Show starts at 7:30 p.m. promptly!
Gretl lives at 816 35th Ave. in Seattle. Map is here: bit.ly/Gretls
KBCS names "Setting Out to Sea" one of year's 10 best CDs!
A huge shout out to KBCS and all the air time they've given us over the last year, and woohoo are we on cloud nine having "Setting Out to Sea" named as one of the year's 10 best CDs.
That designation came from Eric Hardee, host of one of our favorite KBCS shows, "Folksounds," which airs Tuesday nights with co-host Jeanne Geiger.
You can check out the whole list of each DJ's top CDs on the KBCS Web site -- we highly recommend it.
The Rain in Spain Lies Mainly on the Plain
We are often amused and delighted when we hear DJs and MCs (and new friends!) pronounce our somewhat tricky names. It's one of the reason why our website banner prominently displays the proper pronunciation of "The Onlies."
We realize we need to make it easier for everybody. Feel free to print this out and stick in your shoe for the next time you need it:
The Onlies – /thē ōn' lēz/
Samantha Braman – /sə măn' thə brā' – mən/
Riley Calcagno - /rī' lē kăl kăg' nō/
Leo Shannon – /lēō shăn' ən/
West Coast Tour begins Tuesday
First stop: Portland!
Well, we're getting close. Packing, planning, renting a van, all that stuff before a road trip. Our dads Johnny and Tom will be our chauffeurs, roadies, and merch sales staff, but they won't be our sugar daddies: We're actually paying for most of the trip--and the destination fiddle camp--through money we've made at gigs and other performances. Wahoo -- does that make us professional musicians?
Anyway, our itinerary includes five West Coast stops, and if you can't attend any of them, well, at least make sure your friends do! Portland is our first stop on Tuesday (Aug. 20), for a 7:30 p.m. house concert at our friend Etienne's. Then on Wednesday (Aug. 21), amid the redwoods of Northern California, we'll do a second house concert chez another friend, Jennifer MacKey, a fiddler and artist who lives in Rio Dell, Calif., just south of Arcata. That one starts at 8 p.m. On Thursday (Aug. 22), we'll do a third house concert in as many days, this one at 7:30 p.m. in North Berkeley, with Brad and Lisa Gallien.
Then we spend a week at Alasdair Fraser's Valley of the Moon Fiddle School, after which we play a contra dance in Palo Alto (8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 31) and, the next day, a pub gig at Cottage Grove's Axe & Fiddle (7:00 p.m. Sept. 1).
Whew. And we hope to pack in a few college visits too.
Details on the dance locations, prices, and so forth will be found on our calendar page!

Fall Safety Tips for Pets
Notes on Autumn from Dr. Kerry McLaughlin
With Contributions from Dr. Sarah McCready
- Candy: After Halloween has come and gone, there's lots of extra candy around the house. Most people know that chocolate is toxic to dogs and can cause problems ranging from mild gastrointestinal upset (vomiting, diarrhea) to more severe signs such as arrhythmias, seizures and even death. Another less known toxin is xylitol which is an ingredient in sugar-free gum. Xylitol ingested in even very small amounts can lead to life threatening hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and liver toxicity. Make sure to keep your children's Halloween candy up high and stowed out of reach from pets! If your pet does get into a toxin please call our office or you can always reach the Pet Poison Helpline after hours (1-800-213-6680,a one time fee applies).
- Rodenticides: Now that the weather is cooling down, the rodents are seeking shelter indoors as well. If you or your neighbors are having pest problems, make sure to discuss the safety of rodenticide products with your exterminator. There are several different types of rodenticides and each can cause different life-threatening problems in pets.
- Back to school: Fall means back to school and the return of school art projects. Most school supplies are generally non-toxic to pets but ingestion of foreign material could lead to an intestinal obstruction which can be life-threatening and require surgery. A less known danger is Gorilla Glue- this special adhesive is sweet to the taste so extra tempting to dogs, and once ingested it can foam and expand within the stomach and cause obstruction and bloat-like symptoms.
- Disaster Preparedness: As we have seen and experienced, the end of October is peak hurricane season. Make sure to keep your pets prepared for a natural disaster by keeping them up to date on vaccines and make sure to have their leash, harness, or carriers easily available. Here are some more helpful emergency preparedness tips from the ASPCA: http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/disaster-preparedness
- Turkey Day: While we humans love to indulge during the holidays, we do NOT recommend feeding holiday table scraps to your furry friends! Cooked meat bones can splinter after being cooked and can cause major gastrointestinal issues for pets if they are ingested. Also, high fatty meals and foods they are not used to can lead to conditions like pancreatitis and gastroenteritis. Just stick to extra special pet treats if you want to let them join in on the fun!

A Bulldogs of New York Event
Saturday, May 16, 2015
at Peck Slip,
South Street Seaport,
New York City
Each year, many bulldogs are left abandoned and without basic care in our area. These smart, friendly, proud, and slobbery companions need our help in finding their 'forever' homes. All dog breeds are welcome to join us celebrating bulldogs, while raising funds for this valuable cause.
The dogs will get the chance to mingle and play with other dogs, have photos taken, and participate in the Costume Parade! Owners will get local vet advice, see fashions made exclusively for bulldogs, and participate in the costume parade too! Our MC for the event is Celebrity Dog Trainer Travis Brorsen. All breeds are welcome in the costume parade – dig out the outfits now!
The owners will have a chance to make generous donations to the bulldog rescues, "Kiss a Bully" in our Kissing Booth, mingle with other owners, swap dawg stories, experience a sea of loving bulldogs, and do some shopping for their furry friends at one of our vendor booths.
The Old Seaport Alliance is gathering local support (participating Seaport restaurants, bars and shops) to offer all-day-long food and beverage specials in conjunction with the event. A portion of the tab will be donated to our bulldog rescue fundraiser. So eating and drinking in the neighborhood will add to our final total for the day! We hope you enjoy every aspect of the event and look forward to seeing you and your wonderful dogs. Non-dog owners are more than welcome too!

The Doctors and Staff at
Downtown Veterinary Medical Hospitals
As there have been more than 1000 diagnosed cases of Canine Influenza Virus (CIV) in the Midwest over the past month, the doctors and staff of Downtown Veterinary Medical Hospitals want to keep our clients informed about this extremely infectious and potentially deadly disease.
Canine influenza is a respiratory virus that was initially spread to dogs from horses (H3N8). This current strain is new to the US and is thought to have originated in Asia (H3N2).
Who can be affected: Dogs who attend doggy day care, board at a kennel, go on walks with other dogs, or frequent the dog park are at an increased risk of exposure to this virus.
What to watch for: Your dog may become lethargic, develop a cough or nasal discharge, or show signs of a fever or poor appetite. Some dogs do not show clinical signs but are still capable of spreading the disease. Cats can also show respiratory signs when exposed to this virus.
How to keep your dog safe: At this point, there are no confirmed cases of this strain of CIV in New York State. If your dog is a regular at doggy day care or the dog park, consider vaccination. If your dog is immuno-compromised, we recommend limiting its exposure to other dogs during this time.
The canine influenza vaccine can help prevent infection or lessen the severity of symptoms if a pet is infected. It also helps prevent spread of the virus. The vaccine is given as a two-part series (initial vaccine and booster two-to-three weeks later). It is not yet clear if the existing vaccine is effective against this new CIV strain (H3N2).
If you suspect your dog may have been exposed to another dog with respiratory illness or is showing signs of the virus please keep it separate from other dogs and call our office.
We are happy to answer any questions about CIV. Please speak with your veterinarian if you have further questions about CIV or any other pet health concerns.
You can also find additional information about canine influenza from the American Veterinary Medical Association here: https://www.avma.org/public/PetCare/Pages/CanineInfluenza.aspx
Disaster Preparation for Animals
Hurricane Sandy and other unforeseen circumstances in recent years have taught us that we need to expect the unexpected. Natural disasters and other large scale tragedies have the potential to leave a wake of destruction in their path and potentially separate us from our beloved pets. Unfortunately, events such as these are completely out of our control. However, we can have a plan and be prepared for even the worst circumstances.
One of the most useful items for both you and your pet is a disaster supply kit. These items should be useful whether you are evacuated or sheltered in place. Ideally the kit should be in a waterproof container. The container should have three days to a week's worth of food, medical records, vaccination history, a current photo of your pet, a leash or harness, a litter pan and litter, and plastic bags. Furthermore, you should include a flip top can or can opener. Try to replace the food in the kit on a regular basis so it doesn't spoil. If your pet is on medication that needs to be refrigerated, be sure to insert a small ice pack into your kit. You can also keep identification tags in the bags with your pet's name and the name/address of a friend or family member, in case you become separated from your pet.
If your pet doesn't have a microchip, you may want to consider having one implanted. Microchip implantation can be done by means of a quick injection at the time of spay/neuter or during a routine visit. The chip which contains an encoded number is inserted through a needle between the shoulder blades. There is no anesthesia needed. After the chip is implanted it is essential to complete the appropriate registration forms. Your veterinarian can assist you with the paperwork to ensure that it's done correctly. Most shelters and animal rescue organizations have microchip scanners which are used to read the numbers on the chip. If you are separated from your animal due to a natural disaster, or because your pet has been evacuated to a holding area, you may have to show proof that you are the owner. Some animals are hard to identify from a photo or don't have distinguished markings; the microchip number will be invaluable in the identification process.
The buddy system is a useful tool during any disaster. In the event you are not home when disaster strikes, allowing your neighbor access to your home or apartment may save your pet's life. This will allow them to remove your pet if necessary or be able to feed them if you will not be home for an extended period of time. You can also offer to do this for your neighbor if the opposite situation occurs.
If you need to evacuate, and your pets are allowed to stay with you, it may be helpful to bring their favorite blanket or toy. You should also contact local hotels or motels to inquire where you can go and if they allow pets. It is important to make a list of these locations and include their phone number. Also, if they do allow pets, make sure there is no number or size restriction. Animal shelters should only be used as a last resort due to limited space. It is also noteworthy to mention that FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) recommends that you do not wait for a formal evacuation order. If you wait until an evacuation is mandatory, you may not be able to bring your pets with you.
There are some situations in which your pets may not be permitted to stay with you. If you have no choice but to leave a pet at home or otherwise unattended, there are some important ways in which to prepare. The bathroom is typically the safest place to keep your pets in the event of a disaster. If you have a large dog you can fill the bathtub with water. For smaller dogs and cats, you can allow the faucet to drip into a small container that will not spill. If your dog normally wears a chain-link collar it is advisable to switch to leather or nylon. It is also recommended that you leave a two to three day supply of dry food in a sturdy container. Please make sure not to moisten the food.
If you will be leaving your cat alone for a short period, it is recommended that you have a cat carrier which is large enough to fit a shoe-box sized litter box, a food dish, and water. Your cat should also be able to sit up and lie down comfortably. Please make sure that the carrier is not left in the sun and there is sufficient ventilation. This also applies to many of the smaller pocket pets. Make sure to prepare their carriers, food, water, and appropriate bedding.
Hurricane Katrina, Sandy, and 9/11 taught us some valuable lessons. Although we can't predict when disaster may strike we can always be prepared. Our pets are part of our families and we have a responsibility to keep them safe.

Uranus opposition Pluto: Sweeping changes Mid-April 2016 until mid-March 2017: Now is the time to make sweeping changes, not only in your consciousness, but also in the circumstances in which you live. Conditions that have been developing slowly will force major changes upon you now. If you are flexible, you will be able to start a whole new phase of life, even though you may have thought that the time for new starts in your life is past. You will have a new birth of awareness, and you will be able to deal with your life unhampered by old patterns of thought that have limited you. But if you cannot adapt and be flexible, this will be a period of great turmoil and stress as you try desperately to hold on to circumstances, possessions and relationships that no longer have any real function in your life. What you are trying to save is not something real, it is only an illusion. The impetus for change may come through persons who present you with many upsetting surprises, all of which show that your life is no longer what is was. The key point to recognize is that this process is not bad for you, it is just upsetting at first until you get into the flow of events. It can be quite exciting and will certainly inject an element of youth into your life again, with the advantage that now you will have the wisdom to handle it properly.
Jupiter sextile Ascendant: Efforts with friends Beginning of November 2016 until mid-July 2017: This is usually an extremely fortunate influence for all kinds of social contacts. You will benefit through others, and they will probably benefit through you. If you choose to go it alone at this time, you will waste a valuable opportunity, for you will profit tremendously from team efforts with friends. Also you will have opportunities to work on projects that may be to your personal advantage; these will come from persons you encounter every day at work or around your neighborhood, people from whom you do not expect much beyond the usual social exchanges. At this time you will have the opportunity to expand your contacts with the larger world. Sometimes this influence is a sign of travel, but certainly you will encounter people whose backgrounds are quite different from yours and whose experience will increase your understanding of the world. Several of these people may become permanent friends whom you will benefit from knowing. You may also benefit from old friends. You may be offered a chance to go into business with a friend, or a friend may tell you about a good chance to get ahead in some way. At the same time, you feel benevolent and well disposed to your friends and acquaintances. You are willing and able to help those who need it, and generally you display an attitude of supportive kindness to the people around you, for you don't want to see people in trouble. This basic willingness to give and to help others enables you to receive much from others as well. People sense that you will conduct all transactions fairly, so they are willing to be fair to you. Actually this is always true, but you are more able to see it at this time.
Jupiter conjunction Pluto: Self-betterment End of December 2016 until beginning of September 2017: This influence brings the urge to achieve to the forefront of your life. You will make great, even extraordinary, efforts to gain success as you personally define it. You work harder and strive to gain your objective with every ounce of energy at your disposal. Consequently, this influence often occurs just at the moment when some tremendous effort in your life bears fruit. Sometimes there is a tremendous drive to gain power, and this influence can bring you power even when you are not trying especially hard to get it. Remember that each person has opportunities for a different kind of power. It may be great or relatively humble in terms of the larger society, but it will be meaningful to you. This power drive is sufficiently strong that it is difficult to deny, even if it has absolutely no outlet. In that case you are likely to get into some kind of conflict with authorities, even to the extent of arrest. If your ambition becomes the irresistible force against an immovable society, you will probably be the loser. Therefore you must scan your life to find areas where you can let this energy manifest itself. Surely in some area of your life you can better yourself and achieve something that would bring you recognition and respect. This is true no matter how depressed you think you are or how downtrodden your circumstances. If you put all your energy into working on that, it is quite likely that you will accomplish what you want. The dominant drive of this influence is self-betterment, but each individual has to define that term for herself. You can work in that direction now, and how well you succeed depends largely on what you mean by betterment. Unfortunately, for some people it means simply money or power. If you are one of them, throughout this period you will act as if obsessed, and indeed, power can become a fanatical preoccupation. Other people may become obsessed by an idea, usually concerning righteousness or morality. This also carries the danger that you will lose track of all normal human values and try to live with a distorted set of standards or concerns.
Pluto trine Venus: Out of the commonplace End of February 2017 until beginning of January 2019: This influence emphasizes the creative and romantic aspects of your life. It can bring a new relationship or deepen an old one. A new one that comes at this time will be notable for the strength of the feelings involved. It could hardly be described as casual. There is a compulsive quality about the energies that drive you and your partner together, but this is not at all negative. It will merely seem to both of you that this relationship was inevitable, and you will both find that it is a learning experience of the best possible kind. You will learn a great deal about the energies within each of you that are at work in a relationship. You may discover that love is less conscious and that you act much more from blind compulsion than you realized. But this realization is the first step toward becoming conscious of your feelings. Your existing relationships will also enter a period of creative change. Your feelings are stronger now, and again you will both learn more about the way you operate in the relationship. Your creative energies will be aroused and if you are in any way artistic, you will be able to put deep, feeling energy into your creations as never before. Others will recognize the intensity that has gone into your work, for which you may very well receive considerable recognition. Art and love will have one element in common during this time; that is, the experience of them will transport you out of the commonplace into the extraordinary, for that is what you are seeking. Art and love should have a considerable impact on your life now and affect your future for many years to come.
Neptune square Ascendant: Ego losses End of March 2017 until end of January 2019: At this time in your life your relationships with others are likely to become confused and difficult. You may encounter persons who try to dissuade you from a course of action that you have been committed to for years, with the result that you become confused about the direction of your life. The other person's intentions in this may be either good or bad. This is not a good time to become involved in any kind of contractual or business negotiations. Even if the people whom you are dealing with are completely honest - and with this influence they may very well be dishonest - you will find it difficult to think clearly about your own goals and objectives in the negotiations. As a result you will not get what you want from the procedure. On the metaphysical plane there is a lesson to be learned from this influence. The less involved your ego is in a situation, the more freedom you will have to do what you want. By bringing about a loss, this influence often shows us that our attachment to material objects or to certain personal relationships has prevented us from being free. So it is not usually the influence itself that causes losses or confusion, but your ego's relentless drive to maintain the game it is playing. And this may be happening at your expense, when viewed from a higher perspective. When your ego takes over in this way, you set your priorities incorrectly, and you are not likely to be successful. The strategy with this influence is to flow through it without any particular set plan of action nor any special objective. Simply treat this time as a learning experience. If a relationship doesn't work out, ask yourself why you got into it in the first place. If you attract dishonest people or if your dishonesty has brought you trouble, ask yourself what purpose this served in your life. Often you will discover that you were trying to protect something that really wasn't worth protecting.
Uranus opposition Sun: Security vs. freedom Mid-June 2017 until end of February 2019: During this time you should look for sudden changes in your environment that challenge your expression as an individual and force you to take a stand about what you really are. A sudden challenge in the outer world may force you to take more responsibility for your life. Typical effects of this influence would include sudden events concerning men or your superiors or employers; unexpected circumstances that force you to change your course of action; sudden changes in a relationship, especially if you have not allowed self-expression for yourself or your partner; and sudden changes in health, involving your heart and circulatory system especially. By this time you have built up a lifestyle that you consider valid and practically realizable. Most adults by now have given up certain ideals and goals as impossible. You have probably surrendered large parts of yourself as an accommodation with reality. The suppressed energies from this source lie behind the manifestation of this influence. It demands that hidden pressures be released, but you will probably feel that these events are happening to you rather than that you are doing them. What is happening is the passing away of something that has prevented you from being free. The trouble is that most people come to value security and predictability over freedom of self-expression. Consequently this influence is frequently upsetting.

Benning Violins-Studio City Music
Accessories, Violin, Strings
Founded in Vienna by Dr. Franz Thomastik and Otto Infeld, Thomastik-Infeld has been manufacturing strings for violins, violas and cellos since 1919. Because piano strings were produced with steel, the company began manufacturing all of their stringed instrument strings with steel as well. By 1926, Tomastik-Infeld's production methods had produced strings that were not only long lasting, but also stable as far as both tuning and climate changes. Over the next 25 years, the company would export their strings to England and the United States.
From 1950 forward, the company, modernized by the heirs of the founders, had laid the foundation for super success based on their innovation of strings with a synthetic core wound by flat wire called the Dominant string.
Thomastik Infeld Dominant violin strings are one of the most popular strings used today by students, amateur players and professionals alike. It is considered a "multi-strand synthetic core" string that is highly flexible and produces a warm tone, not unlike gut strings. Because they are wound with steel, the strings are impervious to humidity changes. A set of Dominant strings retail for around $61.00.
Thomastik Infeld Vision strings for violin are manufactured for advanced players but are used by beginner and intermediate violinists. These, too, are wound on synthetic core and are known for their durability and ease of playing. Vision strings are available in thee different gauges and are designed for chamber, orchestral or solo playing. A set of Vision strings retail for around $50.00.
Thomastik Infeld also manufactures high-end "Infeld Red" and "Infeld Blue" synthetic core violin strings that are considered state-of-the-art, boasting perfectly matched tensions, allowing the player to make a "mix and match" set. The Red strings are considered to produce a dark, warm tone while the Blue strings are known for producing brighter, more brilliant tones. Violinists are then able to use both Reds and Blues to blend both warmth and clarity and to have each tone available while playing. A single set of strings can cost up to $75.00.
Precision violin strings, manufactured by Thomastik Infeld are a solid, steel core string that produces a strong, bright sound. While these strings are appropriate for players of all levels, they are best suited to beginning players. These strings are priced lower than the synthetic core wound strings, with a set costing about $42.00.
Thomastik Infeld strings are known for quality and innovation. The company also manufactures strings for other bowed instruments such as viola, cello and double bass, as well as for fretted instruments such as guitar and bass.

Blogs HNN Luther Spoehr: Review of Peter Morris's But Didn't We Have Fun? An Informal History of Baseball's Pioneer Era, 1843-1870 (Ivan R. Dee, 2008).May 4, 2008 11:01 pm
Luther Spoehr: Review of Peter Morris's But Didn't We Have Fun? An Informal History of Baseball's Pioneer Era, 1843-1870 (Ivan R. Dee, 2008).
The traveling party did not include a gaggle of club executives, reporters, or specialists in combating jet lag. Nor is there any record of players each receiving a $40,000 bonus for making the trip.
Their trip was underwritten by private sponsors, and the Nationals were treated as honored guests at every stop, but they were hardly pampered, particularly when it came to their travel regimen. (After missing their train in Cincinnati, they hopped a freight to Philadelphia and arrived for their game, tired and disheveled, with an hour to spare.) But the Nationals saw themselves primarily as goodwill ambassadors, and, says Morris, their "historic tour was a great boon to the spread of enthusiasm for the game."
By 1867 that game was on the verge of a great change. The 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings, the first openly professional "base ball" team, would go on tour and beat all comers; their success would lead the Cincinnati Base Ball Club to "divorce" them. In 1871 the National Association of Base Ball Players split into amateur and professional groups.
How the game unexpectedly got to that point is the subject of Morris' thoroughly researched, entirely engaging book. He begins with the game of the 1830s and 1840s, in all its variety, informality, and sociability, when the pitcher's only job was to get play started by letting the batter hit the ball, and the umpire sat in splendid isolation, called upon only occasionally ("Judgment, sir!"), when players themselves couldn't make the call.
Morris aims to breathe life into those stiffly posed, solemn figures in the daguerreotypes, arms crossed, faces hidden behind mustaches. "Fun doesn't always get recorded for posterity," he notes wryly, but, after all, these were "clubs." Playing baseball was only one activity among many, intended to promote sociability and community spirit.
Morris achieves his main purpose, and more. He traces the game's westward advance — often along canal and railroad routes — and its evolution toward competitiveness and standardized rules. As he does, he takes the reader deep into the culture of 19th-century America, as revolutions in transportation and mass communication pushed everything, even casual pastimes, toward professionalization and commercialization.
"The past," said E.P. Hartley, "is a foreign country: they do things differently there." So travel back to the Elysian Fields (of Hoboken). Meet the Knickerbockers and the Excelsiors, Jim Creighton and Harry Wright, and watch them transform baseball, sometimes unwittingly, for better and for worse. It's well worth the trip, and you won't have to worry about jet lag.

You need to get the polyp removed and sent for biopsy. If it is a small polyp, it can be removed as a minor procedure, and you may not need anaesthesia. If it a large polyp, it is better removed in the operation theatre, in case there is bleeding. You should also get an ultrasound of the pelvis, to check if there are any more polyps, prior to the procedure. You need to see a doctor and start medication for your thyroid problem.
