SKINNY PUPPY - interview with mythmaker Nivek Ogre |
Skriven av Claes Wiberg |
Skapad 2007-01-18 13:12 |
In short, SKINNY PUPPY are back, in a big way, and as relevant as ever! I gave Ogre a call in Los Angeles, over a somewhat weak phone line, to discuss the new album, the past few years of reunited PUPPY-dom, and... second-hand stores. Hello, is this Ogre? Hey, how're you doin'! I'm doing very well, actually! My name is Claes, and I'm calling from Sweden... ...and I'd like to start off by asking a few things about the reformation of the band. Going back in time a bit, to the Doomsday gig [one-off reunion festival show] you guys did in Dresden - I understand that was something that mainly happened because, you know, they kept asking you to do it over and over again, and that it was supposed to be a one-off thing, and cEVIN [Key - synthesizers, electronics, percussion] was touring with you as part of OhGr the band at the time. How was it decided that you were going to record a new SKINNY PUPPY album in the first place? I mean, you must've thought about it over the years, but what clinched it? Do you think the Bush era kind of made the climate right for a new SKINNY PUPPY album? And there were a lot of bands rallying behind that cause... "The greater wrong of the right" (2004) album, was that something that was initially intended as one-off thing? So you felt comfortable enough with each other to sign a deal like that? What's it like touring as SKINNY PUPPY again, considering that the legend of the band continued to grow even in the band's absence, which I guess Doomsday kind of proved... Haha, OK... Oh yeah, because your stage shows are always something extra, so to speak... Moving on to the forthcoming "Mythmaker" album... I guess the Bush regime was a theme on the last album and tour, and I guess you touch on that in some songs on the new album. Now, I haven't actually read the lyrics of the new album, but from listening to the CD, it sounds like the lyrics are a little bit more personal this time, as far as subjects go. But still not making a "Greater wrong of the right, part 2"... ...Right, not doing that. But at the same time, I eventually had to let go, because... again, the album, "Mythmaker", is probably one of the hardest records I've ever made... Oh yeah? It's interesting that you say that though, because "Mythmaker" sounds, I shouldn't say "mellow" 'cause it's still kind of intense, but it does sound a bit more relaxed than the "Greater wrong" album... That one was more of a punch in the face, whereas this one's a bit more reflective... Now, about your lyrics... Especially in the past, your lyrics have had a kind of "stream of consciousness" feel to them, particularly the older stuff, and I guess especially the "Last Rights" songs. Did everything you wrote back then have a particular meaning, or was it ever a case of just putting something on there because there had to be lyrics? I guess in a different way, though? 'Cause I read somewhere that the vocals fading away on "Knowhere?" (off "Last Rights") weren't fading, but a (drug related) seizure... OK, regarding the music on the new album – like I said, to me it sounds a little more reflective than "The greater wrong of the right" did. Was this something you consciously tried to achieve? What was it like, creating this new album? Yeah, I'd say brooding is the word I want... Would you say that was something to contributed to your own problems with drugs, like on the "Last Rights" tour? Yeah. I guess it's a matter of harnessing it and channeling it in a, heh, positive direction, so to speak... Guess it's a life long process... OK. Your live shows have always been very impressive. How do you go about creating the visual stuff like the shows on the live DVD? I heard you worked with some guys called "The Dirtdealers"... What can we expect for the next tour, as far as visuals go? 'Cause I guess you start touring in March or something like that? The live show – does it ever get to be a drag after a while? I mean, fake blood all over you, and all over equipment, and I guess you've had your fair share of onstage injuries? Yeah. Well, I guess it's more fun for the first couple of shows of the tour than - Well, no, it's actually better once you get into the groove! The first couple of shows you're like, "Oh my God... How am I gonna do this (laughs), there's 60 more shows..." But you get into a groove with it, and then by the end it becomes something that's... very hard to clean, and you're trying to keep your clothes clean, and you're trying to keep everything clean, and ultimately the blood gets on everything, no matter how hard you try. And injuries are a drag, too - like I broke my hand before we were actually supposed to come and headline Arvika... Oh yeah, yeah... Yeah, Arvika. Yeah. OK, I'd like to ask you a few questions on the issue of illegal downloading, and how it has, particularly over here in Sweden, become a poltical and politicized issue. We had election year last year, and there was this one party called the Pirate Party, basically advocating making illegal downloading legal. And they snagged about 34 000 votes... ...and their cause wasn't just the downloading of copyrighted material, the whole thing was also closely related to the issue of how much the internet should be allowed to be used for collecting info on people by monitoring online activities. What's your take on that? I think the idea of intellectual property was the first thing to be stolen in a lot of ways. I think it comes down to that kids nowadays have only certain options, with the money they have. I mean, when I was younger, we didn't have to worry about cellphone bills and total designer clothing... We got our goth clothing from second-hand stores, and the only clothes we bought was maybe a pair of Dr Martens boots that we saved up for - everything else was thrown together from, like, second-hand clothing stores. So I think there's just a lot more pressure on kids nowadays to stay with the crowd - or with the herd. You know, "I just bought the hardware - what am I entitled to get?" And the easy answer would be music, and once broadband started happening, and DVD – that was when people first started taking notice of it; when movies started getting burned. Yeah. Yeah, in a way, but I mean, that wasn't... Exactly. Uh-huh. Speaking of the younger generation, "politiKIL" from the new album is appearing in "Jackass – the video game". How did that come about? Okay. Speaking of songs appearing in odd places, I have a question here that I'm not sure you've been asked before... A friend of mine told me he had this SKINNY PUPPY bootleg, called "Land of technolgy" [sic] that was pressed in, I think, 1988. And supposedly there's a demo on it that ended up being the FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY song "Mindphaser", something like, five-six years later... Is that something you're familiar with? Really? I think he actually bought it in 1988 as well... I think it was a bootleg of one of your shows, with supposedly a few demo songs of yours. No, no, I just, um, figured it was one of those questions that hadn't been asked before... Okay. Let's see... there have been quite a few characters and specific props presented onstage throughout your years of touring, like the Guiltman and the V.R. Machine on the "Last Rights" tour. You had some kind of bird-man character on the last tour? Or perhaps it was a fox? Had a beak and big ears - the mask you wore for the first few songs? A plague doctor... that was kind of where I got my inspiration from. How it appeared to everybody else; I've heard everything from Chickenman, to the Birdman, to... (laughs) It was just something that I kind of conceptualized. Again, I think things like that are gonna help me get into character. It looked REALLY good! All right, what else [the assigned 30 minutes were up]... oh yeah, I was kind of curious, considering your past. I mean, you've been clean for a long time, as far as I know. Is staying clean still a hard thing to do? It must've been kind of hard keeping a tour together back in those days, I mean, you were still out touring? Speaking of collaborations, didn't you do some song with Al (Jourgensen) of MINISTRY, in the early days of ohGr the band, that eventually became "The fall" (off MINISTRYs "Filth pig" album)? I guess Al was supposed to play in ohGr in the beginning, but nothing really came of that. You toured with them as vocalist on that tour, didn't you? Heh, I can imagine... What kind of stuff does Nivek Ogre listen to these days? Do you feel like SKINNY PUPPY has gotten enough credit for the stuff you've done? 'Cause you've been extremely influential throughout all these years... Do you feel like you've gotten your fair share of respect? Yeah. Maybe, yeah... Something I really like about the last two quote-unquote "reunion" SKINNY PUPPY albums, is that it doesn't really sound like a band re-uniting... It sounds very, very relevant still! Thank you! You're welcome. Hey, thank you! It really doesn't sound like, you know, THE BIG COMEBACK!-type of thing, it's more like, okay, they haven't done any albums for a few years, and now they're back, and it sounds like a natural progression... When can we next expect to see SKINNY PUPPY in Scandinavia? All right! OK, thanks a lot, and hope to see you on tour! Thanks, Claes. Thanks for your support! Bye-bye! |
Getting the go-ahead to interview the legendary Nivek Ogre, a k a Kevin Ogilvie, of SKINNY PUPPY and ohGr fame, did make me giddy with nervous excitement. The reformed SKINNY PUPPY, industrial / EBM / electronica / what-have-you pioneers that called it quits in 1995, are not only one of my absolute favourite bands ever – they're also as relevant as they ever were, with a brand new album – "Mythmaker" - to be released by the end of January 2007. The follow-up to 2004:s reunion album ("The greater wrong of the right") is the third big SKINNY PUPPY release this decade – the second being the DVD "The greater wrong of the right - live". All three of excellent quality, I might add.

Stranger Things Millie Bobby Brown's Sleepover Scare with Maddie Ziegler, Is Barb REALLY Alive?
Millie Bobby Brown and Maddie Ziegler are on pace to be Hollywood's next BFF couple - we're talking Kendall Gigi status! But their first ever sleep over didn't go exactly as planned. The Stranger Things star stopped by the Ellen show this week to of course chat about her breakout role as 11 in the Netflix series. but Millie also talked about her best friend, reality star Maddie Ziegler. The young stars recently had a sleep over - and it was 12 year old Millie's first one! "She private messaged me on Twitter," the actress told Ellen. "I'd never been on a sleepover before and she was like, 'do you want to come over?' So i'm like sure, ok!" Sadly, Millie didn't dish on any details but we're sure the girls did normal sleepover stuff. Tweeting cute boys, painting nails, staying up all night. But then the event took a disastrous turn. "So I go over there," Millie continued. "And at 3 in the morning the fire alarm comes on. We all had to get rushed out of her apartment building and I'm crying because I'm like, my first sleepover's ruined. So yea, we've been through a lot." Well, a lot for a couple a 12 year olds. Give it a couple years. Especially because these BFFs are in the major spotlight. Millie is getting major buzz for Stranger Things. Unfortunately, however, the young actress wouldn't reveal any spoilers on season two - unlike this major moment from this Sunday's Golden Globes. Millie and the Stranger Things cast made a special appearance. Was it just a joke, or is Barb really still alive? And how cute are Maddie and Millie? Let us know in the comments below.

Rhetoric vs. Reality: Equal Pay
Many conservatives profess support for equal pay but ignore the real need for stronger protections against pay discrimination and comprehensive solutions to close the gender wage gap.
Many conservatives profess support for equal pay but ignore the real need for stronger protections against pay discrimination and comprehensive solutions to close the gender wage gap.
Despite being vital breadwinners and members of the workforce, Latinas continue to be underpaid.
Wage equality is a key issue for Millennials. But for young black women, it is not only a concern, it is a determining factor in their quality of life.
Labor market frictions exacerbate lower pay for women.
Strengthening equal pay protections and adopting new workplace policies to address work-life challenges can help ensure that all workers are paid fairly for their work.
Here are some key facts to know about the gender wage gap on Equal Pay Day.
Today, the average woman who works full-time, year-round earns 79 cents to every dollar earned by men. What's behind the wage gap?
A new CAP analysis shows the jobs with the largest and smallest gender wage gaps.
Women of color experience a wider gender wage gap, on average, compared with white women.
The types of jobs that men and women hold, as well as the industries they work in, have a large effect on the gender wage gap.
Women in the United States only earn 78 cents to the dollar compared with men. But there is a lot of confusion about this number. What does it really mean? And where did it come from?
Researchers at the American Association of University Women gathered the most recent federal statistics on gender wage gap in every state.
This interactive infographic shows how the gender wage gap manifests itself for two hardworking Americans.
As a society we need to fight for equal pay at all levels, including in the upper hierarchies of the more selective and competitive jobs. Great strides for equal pay have already been made, but the problem isn't solved at "good enough."
The rapidly growing green sector offers an opportunity for a more equitable and inclusive workforce that can help to narrow the gender wage gap and build a stronger economy.

There were times during NDTV's vote-counting coverage that I wanted to reach inside my TV and give the panelists a hug. While Prannoy Roy sat throughout with the expression of Casey Affleck in the police-station scene of "Manchester By the Sea", Srinivasan Jain and others went through a range of emotions from Suniel Shetty's "Naaaaiinnn" from Dhadkan to Nargis's tear-drenched lip-trembling when she sings Raja ki Aayegi Baraat in "Aah". Not that there was something particularly novel about this, we had seen similar during the 2014 general elections, but then watching grown men and women, on the verge of an emotional breakdown on live TV, is somewhat sad.
Ok all right. Who am I kidding?
It was actually fun.

Week 5 Death of a Salesman Arthur Miller
Death of a Salesman Postwar America, a new American Empire? Capitalism and materialism
Postwar America '[T]here was a smell in the air of a new American Empire in the making, if only because, as I had witnessed, Europe was dying or dead, and I wanted to set before the new captains and the so smugly confident kings the corpse of a believer.' (Arthur Miller, Timebends, p.184.)
Capitalism: 'this pseudo life that thought to touch the clouds by standing on top of a refrigerator, waving a paid-up mortgage at the moon, victorious at last.' (Timebends, p.184.) Capitalism
Tragedy 'The possibility of victory must be there in tragedy. Where pathos rules, where pathos is finally derived, a character has fought a battle he could not possibly have won. The pathetic is achieved when the protagonist is, by virtue of his witlessness, his insensitivity or the very air he gives off, incapable of grappling with a much superior force.' Arthur Miller, 'Tragedy and the Common Man' (New York Times, February 27, 1949, repr. in The Theatre Essays of Arthur Miller).
Salesman and Streetcar What connections can you draw between Salesman and Streetcar? Consider themes, characters, staging. Are these connections the result of the temporal period (1940s) or for some other reason/s? Is Salesman a play of its time?
Act Three How do the past and the present interact in this scene both in what is said and in the staging used (lighting, sound, etc.)? What kind of effect/s is Miller trying to create by linking the past and present in this way? How does the language of the characters reflect the ideas of the play? Consider in particular the imagery used, repetition, key phrases used elsewhere in the play? What insights do the stage directions give us into character and motivation?

Public Affairs and Religious Liberty
The responsibility of the Religious Liberty Department is to defend religious freedom. This entails being informed so that you can keep your church and community informed of issues, laws and trends that threaten religious freedom.
According to Ellen G. White, "Let none sit in calm expectation of the evil, comforting themselves with the belief that this work must go on because prophecy has foretold it, and that the Lord will shelter His people. We are not doing the will of God if we sit in quietude, doing nothing to preserve liberty of conscience." Testimonies for the Church, vol. 5, p. 713, 714
"The responsibility for this great gift [banner of truth and religious liberty] rests with those whom God has blessed with a knowledge of His word." Acts of the Apostles, p. 69

Te Morgue - Unregistered November 05, 2007 11:03 AM Good luck to Andrea! I rate him very high, hopefully his tyres are good enough next year and that he get's the opportunity from Montiron to learn and grow. Very balanced and mature rider for his age, this guy should move to the HRC worksteam in the future! 4 agree 3 disagree

It's the pop-up restaurant taken to new heights. In one artist rendering, the mobile, fine-dining restaurant is perched dramatically at the edge of a cliff, overlooking a deeply cut canyon in Switzerland.
Other photos show the pop-up pavilion set on the rooftops of the arcade in Belgium's Jubelpark and the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana in Rome; or tucked away in the snowy Alps and docked along the shore of a pristine, lakefront countryside.
Commissioned by Electrolux and conceived by event company Absolute Blue in Belgium, The Cube was designed to offer diners Michelin-starred meals "in unexpected and dramatic European locations."
The Cube will debut in Brussels atop the centerpiece of Jubelpark's triumphal arch between March 25 to July 3, before moving on to Italy, Russia, Switzerland and Sweden.
The mobile dining room accommodates 18 people and was designed by Italian architects Park Associati. Laser-cut aluminum walls give the impression of steel mesh, while the glass enclosure offer diners peep-views of their astonishing surroundings.
During its first run in Brussels, diners will be fed by Michelin two-starred chefs Sang Hoon Degeimbre of L'Air Du Temps, and Bart de Pooter of De Pastorale, both of Belgium. Each week, the chefs will recreate a new menu in the open kitchen taking cues from their unique setting.
The total floor area is 140 square meters, 50 square meters of which will be an open terrace. A raised base is meant to accentuate the lightness and airiness of the structure and the dining table can also be raised to the ceiling to form a lounge area after dinner.
Lunch service starts at noon and costs €150 ($209 US) per person, while dinner starts at 7 PM and costs €200 ($279).
Belgium has been a hotbed for outlandish, elevated dining schemes. Dinner in the Sky is another Belgium invention, a dining experience where guests are suspended 50 m above the ground. The event has been hosted in 30 countries around the world including France, Canada, the US, Israel, Lebanon, South Africa, Brazil and Russia, often at famous landmarks.
Reservations for The Cube can be made at http://www.electrolux.be/fr-be/Cube/Cube/

LOVE LOVE this hat. I've already made 2 of them, one in bulky weight yarn and other in worsted weight. I took me 2 days to finish but I have bad arthritis. I added a brooch to each and they are so cute. Gave to my young nieces, both have different fashion tastes.

By Tim Lambert
The history of St Albans began about 20 BC when the local Celtic tribe built there capital there. It would have been a 'town' of wooden huts with thatched roofs surrounded by a ditch and an earth rampart with a wooden palisade on top. In 43 AD the Romans invaded Britain. When they subdued Hertfordshire they took over the Celtic settlement and called it Verulamium.
Roman St Albans was burned by Boudicca when she led a rebellion against the Romans in 61AD. However the town was soon rebuilt and slowly the wooden buildings were replaced with stone ones. Temples were built in Roman St Albans and a theater with seating for 6,000 people. Early in the 3rd century the earth ramparts were replaced with stone walls and the town prospered. St Alban the first British Christian martyr was executed there in 304 AD.
Then in the 4th century Roman civilization began to decline. The last Roman soldiers left Britain in 407AD. St Albans was still going strong when St Germanus visited in 429 AD but soon afterwards the population began to drift away to the countryside. It was probably abandoned in the late 5th century.
After the Romans left Saxons from Germany invaded England. They probably arrived in Hertfordshire in the 6th century. But in the 7th century they were converted to Christianity. An abbey dedicated to St Alban was probably founded in the late 8th century. A village grew up by the abbey and it was called St Albans.
Meanwhile a Saxon king built a fortified settlement nearby. It was called Kings burh (burh is an old word for a fort). Later the name changed to Kingsbury. This settlement developed into a flourishing little town and it overshadowed St Albans. Then in the middle of the 10th century an abbot decided to enlarge St Albans and turn it into a town. He encouraged new settlers by giving them money and building materials. He also began a market. (In those days there were few shops and if you wished to buy or sell anything you had to go to a market).
However there was not enough trade for two towns. The people of Kingsbury made much of their livelihood from a large fish pool. An abbot purchased the pool from the king and drained most of it thus depriving the people of Kingsbury of a vital source of revenue. Finally in the early 11th century an abbot purchased the whole of Kingsbury from the king and leveled it. Some of the inhabitants may have moved to St Albans.
St Albans lay near the old Roman road of Watling Street. In the 10th century an abbot closed Watling Street and diverted traffic through the town so more people spent their money there.
At the time of the Domesday Book (1086) St Albans had a population of about 500. It would seem tiny to us but settlements were very small in those days. A typical village had only 100 to 150 inhabitants. Later St Albans grew larger. By the 14th century it may have had a population of around 1,300.
In 1077 the new Norman abbot demolished the old abbey and rebuilt it. The new building was consecrated in 1136.
In St Albans there were the same craftsmen that were found in any Medieval town, like butchers, bakers, carpenters and blacksmiths. The main industry in St Albans was the manufacture of woolen cloth. After it was woven the wool was thickened and cleaned by being pounded in a mixture of clay and water. This was called fulling. The wool was pounded by wooden hammers, which were worked by watermills.
Unfortunately the abbot owned the town so by law the townspeople had to full wool in his mills. Naturally they resented this and wished to build their own. Not only that but the people of St Albans were obliged to grind their grain to flour in the abbot's watermills. Again they resented this and wished to use hand mills in their own homes.
Most of all the people of Medieval St Albans wanted independence and resented being ruled by the abbot and his agents. There were frequent quarrels between the abbot and the townspeople through the Middle Ages. In the little town there was a weekly market and 3 annual fairs. In those days a fair was like a market but was held only once a year. Fairs in St Albans would attract buyers and sellers from all over Hertfordshire and from London.
During the civil wars known as the Wars of the Roses in the 15th century there were 2 battles at St Albans. There were 2 sides in the wars, the Yorkists and the Lancastrians. They fought two battles at St Albans in 1455 and 1461.
ST ALBANS IN THE 16th CENTURY AND 17th CENTURY
In 1539 Henry VIII closed St Albans abbey. That meant the loss of pilgrims to the town but it also meant the end of the abbot. For centuries the abbots had owned and controlled the town and now the townspeople had the chance to become independent. St Albans gained its first charter in 1553. (A charter was a document granting the townspeople certain rights. In this case St Albans was given a mayor and corporation and its independence).
In 1556 George Tankerfield, a Protestant, was martyred in Romeland. Then in 1604 St Albans suffered an outbreak of plague.
Then in 1642 came civil war between king and parliament. In 1643 the High Sheriff of Hertfordshire entered the Market Place with troops and called on the men of the town to join the king. However some troops led by Oliver Cromwell attacked and they fought in the High Street. The parliamentary troops won a resounding victory. As a result the High Sheriff was captured.
St Albans remained in parliamentary hands for the rest of the war but the townspeople erected earthwork defenses around the town just in case.
At the end of the 17th century the travel writer Celia Fiennes described St Albans: 'There is a very large street to the Market Place. It is a pretty town taking all'.
ST ALBANS IN THE 18th CENTURY
Georgian St Albans remained a small market town with a population of perhaps 3,500. Yet it prospered, partly because it was on the road from London to the Midlands and the Northwest. Many stagecoaches passed through St Albans every day and there were several inns in the towns.
In 1796 London Road was rebuilt to facilitate traffic. In 1736 Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough built almshouses in Hatfield Road. Meanwhile in 1735 a 'scavenger' was appointed to clean the streets of St Albans.
ST ALBANS IN THE 19th CENTURY
At the beginning of the 19th century the population of St Albans was less than 4,000 but it quadrupled by 1900. In 1802 a silk mill opened in St Albans. There were also cotton mills in the 19th century. Another industry was straw hat making (although this had begun to decline by the end of the century). Other industries were brewing and, from the end of the century, printing.
In 1824 St Albans gained gas street lighting. In 1831 a new town hall was built. In 1836 the first proper police force was formed. A corn exchange where grain could be bought and sold was built in 1857. In the 1830s St Albans gained a piped water supply but no sewers were built until the 1880s.
In 1877 St Albans was made a city. The first public library was opened in 1881 and Clarence Park was given to the city in 1896. The first museum in St Albans opened in 1899. A cemetery was opened beside Hatfield Road in 1882.
Perhaps the biggest change in Victorian St Albans was the coming of the railway. St Albans was linked to London by train from 1868. That meant the end of the stagecoaches but it led to a rapid rise in the population of the city. From the late 19th century middle class people lived in the city and commuted to London by train. The boundaries of St Albans were extended in 1835 and 1879.
ST ALBANS IN THE 20th CENTURY
Conditions in St Albans continued to improve in the 20th century. The first cinema in St Albans was built in 1908. The first buses began running in 1909. In the early 1920s the first council houses were built in St Albans. Many more were built after 1945.
In the early 20th century the straw plaiting industry in St Albans came to an end. Silk manufacture ended in the 1930s. However between the 2 world wars new industries boomed such as aircraft manufacture and making electrical goods. In the 1930s St Albans escaped the worst of the depression. Unemployment was lower than in much of the country.
After the Second World War the council tried to attract new industries to the city. Valley Road industrial estate was built in the mid 1950s. However St Albans remained largely a commuter town in the 20th century.
A new civic centre was opened in 1961. The Abbey theatre opened in 1968. The Maltings shopping centre opened in 1988. A new Crown Court was built St Albans in 1993. Today the population of St Albans is 63,000.

As players approach the halfway point of level six of Day 1b the official total for players and prizes has been confirmed. The 'official' count has been 347 since the second break but Nolan Dalla informed us that might be high.
He was right, by one player. Overall, 346 entrants have stumped up the £10,300 which creates a prize pool of £3,460,000 - about £100,000 more than the total for last year but still £200,000 shy of the 2007 and 2008 record £3.62m. The first prize is still hardly to be sniffed at though - a cool £830,401 is to be awarded to the winner along with a coveted WSOPE bracelet. In total, 36 players will make the money with the minimum payout set at £21,150. Still leading the field as far as we can tell is Antonio Esfandiari, who obviously feels he must one-up Phil Laak after The Unabomber took down Event 1, the £2,650 NLHE 6-max. Viktor Blom took a hit after being bluffed out of a pot (taste of his own medicine, really) and is down to around 60k. Phil Ivey has chips now - you can see them on Twitter.

Before After Rhonda O. Location: Sicklerville, New Jersey Age: 55 Height: 5'6" Was: 238 pounds Lost: 55 pounds* Additional Weight Lost Since the Challenge: 2 sizes and 25 pounds* As Of: October 2011 Jersey Grandma Turns Back the Hands of Time, Recapturing Her Youthful Look After 21 years of marriage Rhonda found herself in a place she never expected: a single mother of two, working full time to maintain a stable foundation for her family. Life was not easy living on one income. Long hours forced Rhonda to make poor eating choices, and before long, the excess weight began to pile on. By 50, Rhonda was entering the change of life and says her stomach looked as if she was six months pregnant. She started to feel self conscious and became discouraged by the 238 pound* woman staring back at her from the mirror. A teacher by trade, Rhonda decided to educate herself on proper nutrition and attended a few classes. She began implementing what she learned into her daily cooking and over time, lost 40 pounds and four dress sizes. "I've always been between sizes 16-20 for the better part of nearly 20 years," she says. "It was great to finally see that kind of change." Over the next few years, Rhonda started to gain weight again and her body began to feel the strain. Her knees began to hurt, her ankles started to swell and walking was leaving her breathless; weekend errands resulted in Rhonda returning home for an afternoon nap. Tired of yo-yo dieting, Rhonda made a decision to forgo any future diet programs and instead join a gym. Within days of joining a gym she ran into an old friend who told her about Isagenix®. Excited, she went home and combed the health-and-wellness Website and even decided to attend a meeting where she met Isagenix Top Income Earner Jimmy Smith. Touched by Smith's words, Rhonda decided to attend 2010 Celebration where she witnessed IsaBody Challenge Grand Prize Winner Holly D. winning the crown. Inspired, she decided to join Isagenix and also enter the 2011 IsaBody Challenge. Starting with the 30-Day Cleaning and Fat Burning System, Rhonda decided to do a 9-Day Deep Cleansing and Fat Burning System within her first 30-Day System to jumpstart her weight-loss efforts. She lost 11 pounds within the first few weeks and by the time she hit her next milestone she was 28 pounds lighter and 85 inches smaller.* "I have renamed Ionix® Supreme my 'Golden Fountain of Youth,'" she jokes. (It's her favorite product.) At the end of her Challenge period, Rhonda had lost a total of 55 pounds and 150 inches. She also stepped into a size 9/10 dress for the first time in 20 years.* Rhonda credits her nutrition with Isagenix, daily workouts, twice weekly cycling classes and twice weekly personal training sessions for her incredible transformation. "The best part is seeing people you haven't seen in a long time and being unrecognizable to them," she shares. "Those reactions validate my transformation over and over." The individuals pictured are actual Isagenix Associates and not paid models. *Weight loss should not be considered typical. In a study performed in 2012 by University of Illinois at Chicago researchers, subjects lost an average of 9 pounds with an average of 2 pounds of the loss from visceral fat after 30 days on an Isagenix system. The subjects also had a greater level of adherence and had more consistent weight loss from week to week compared to subjects on a traditional diet. ** Earning levels for Isagenix Independent Associates that appear in this publication are examples and should not be construed as typical or average. Income level achievements are dependent upon the individual Associate's business skills, personal ambition, time, commitment, activity, and demographic factors. For average earnings, see the Isagenix Independent Associate Earnings Statement found at IsagenixEarnings.com. Isagenix Millionaires are defined as Isagenix Associates who have cumulatively earned $1 million or more with Isagenix.
Rhonda's Tip's for Success Keep your metabolism burning fat by snacking every few hours. Carry your water bottle! Drink 8-10 glasses of water a day. The goal is to keep your metabolism active, which will allow your body to burn fat continuously. Move your body daily! Exercise is essential to feeling good and looking better helping to reshape your body. You can begin by walking around the neighborhood, riding a bike or going to a gym. Stick to the plan! If you are doing a 9-Day Deep Cleansing and Fat Burning System or a 30-Day Cleansing and Fat Burning System make sure you cleanse without cheating. During your Cleanse Day, drink plenty of water. Deep Cleanse Days are key to releasing weight and getting control of overeating. Additionally, cleansing every night by drinking 2 ounces of Cleanse for Life® before going to bed will help to yield results. Meals should always include plenty of fresh vegetables, fruits, and lean cuts of meats. There are many great recipes online. Look for recipes that will allow delicious tasting food!

The U.S. Treasury has released images of a redesigned $100 bill with new, Bladerunner-esque security features. Benjamin Franklin now consorts with a blue 3D security ribbon and a "bell in the inkwell" security stamp whose color fluctuates from copper to green (watch a video preview below). While Gawker's Hamilton Nolan damned the futuristic new look as "embarrassingly colorful" — "it looks like a god damn child's crayon scratch pad" — other critics embraced the redesign, which will enter circulation next February: "This is money that tells you it is coming from the future," says Alex Balk at The Awl. "It's... confident and a little aggressive." Matt Kiebus at Death + Taxes is also dazzled: "The United States Treasury just made the most complicated piece of currency my eyes have ever seen," he says. "It's new, it's shiny, I want it." Here's an FX-heavy video from the U.S. Treasury outlining the changes:

As the United States struggles to persuade the world that bombing Afghanistan is the best way to fight the war on terrorism, the Bush administration is turning to marketing wizardry to reach the parts that old-fashioned political propaganda apparently cannot reach.
The President took the lead yesterday when he sought to persuade East European leaders in a video conference call that the world is facing the same "mad global ambitions" that pushed the democratic world into two world wars. But there is more to come. With diplomatic misgivings about the war effort reaching crunch point, the US is planning a television advertising campaign aimed at hearts and minds in the Middle East. There is talk of drafting athletes, musicians and actors to remind the world that there is more to America than imperialism and Coca-Cola.
Many of the senior political and military figures involved in the war are also selling their message. General Richard Myers, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Colin Powell, the Secretary of State, and Donald Rumsfeld, the Defence Secretary, have all appeared on Arabic-language television.
The woman masterminding the new-look propaganda effort is Charlotte Beers, the undersecretary of state for public diplomacy, who was drafted from Madison Avenue specifically to apply commercial sales techniques to promote the image of the US, despite having no diplomatic experience. The Senate held up her confirmation for six months, agreeing to rush it through only in the aftermath of 11 September. Now she has been elevated in effect to the position of propaganda minister.
"We are having people who are not our friends define America in negative terms. It is time for us to reignite the understanding of America," she said in her first interview, to Advertising Age magazine.
Her branding techniques have yet to take effect – in part, arguably, because the administration itself is uncertain how to assess the success of its war efforts.

Bill's coworkers kept prodding him to "come up to the mountains with us and learn to ski". He considered this option to his sometimes dull/inside life in the winter. Thinking to himself, he was really afraid of being injured and losing time at work, he wasn't a real jock and was a little hesitant about displaying this to his friends at work. Easier and cheaper to read a good book this weekend.
Mary really wanted to go try this skiing with her friends but she kept hearing stories about; Jack who blew out his knee last season and spent 8 months rehabbing and Beth who fell hard and hurt her shoulder. Mary heard a lot of stories about injuries, the cold, high winds, ice and those really high chair lifts.
Obviously an entire book could be written about the Marys and Bills of this world who wanted to but just never got up on the hill to try skiing. Money is usually the first excuse and although not outwardly expressed, fear of the unknown can also be a big rationalization for why a person doesn't ski.
INTRODUCTION. Ski instructors teach the Mary and Bills of the world quite often. The fears that new skiers bring to the mountains are variable. Human emotions contain an infinite number of variables. All experienced skiers and certainly ski instructors are at least partly responsible to help ensure that these new skiers enjoy themselves and return to the mountains with good expectations.
To help explain this thread let me introduce myself. Long time skier, raced for years, was Level I ski instructor for 5 years. Former/retired police officer in Sacramento, California. Hostage and Crisis Negotiator for 20yrs. Negotiations at over 200 incidents. The incidents ranged from a 14yr old suicide person on top of a hotel to a hostage situation with a shotgun duct taped to the victims throat. Negotiations from the shortest 7 minutes to the longest 9 hours. My background is mentioned to help explain the fact that almost 90 % of these negotiations dealt in some way with fear.
As a ski instructor I kept running into "fearful" students some who were almost frozen with their fears of skiing and were only on the hill because of a feeling of obligation to a relative or friend. Realizing that this was almost a common problem, to differing degrees, a method or plan was developed to deal effectively with fear.
Many people here on Epic have much more training, education and experience than I. This thread is presented to maybe offer a little different insight into Fear and methods that can sucessfully be used to counter this emotion. It should be noted that the material is presently in a general nature and both you and I know there are always exceptions. These methods have been used in private classes, usually with one person but occassionally with up to 3 similar students.
1. Not Quickly - No Magic Quick Fix
2. Not by the numbers or abcdef etc.
3. Not by repetition
4. Not with words
First a ski instructor has to realize that a persons fears will not be overcome immediately with some magic bag of tricks. Using an academic matrix of "fixing by the numbers" may touch upon some items but it is foolish to assign a fix to someone you hardly know. Repetition of skills is obviously a proven way to teach but is not always appropriate when handling a persons emotions. Words alone never solved anything.
Why the person is fearful should not be a ski instructors main focus. You are not going to psychologically profile this person and you are probably not qualified to do this anyway and what ski instructor would have time to do this. Don't worry about why but do the following:
Listening is so much more than just hearing words.
Voice inflection-tone-quietly-loudly-authority-demurrely
Looking away - looking you in the eye
What said and How said
Why said
Voice and delivery changes with topic changes (speed, steeps, powder etc.)
Remember it is impossible to LISTEN when you are Talking. Many people have a hard time being patient and effectively listening especially if they know more than the person who is attempting to speak. Another key to good listening skills is to ask yourself, did I understand what was just said, if you understood and realize this fact then you are listening effectively. Like a good Turn be patient and let it happen.
A simple but accurate definition would be SINCERE UNDERSTANDING. Not sympathy, not a flippant ok but a real sincere understanding of the persons feelings.
" I can't stand up, I am falling....., bulletproof ice, way too steep, way too fast, how do I stop, careening into a tree, boy do I look stupid, I will never be able to ski with my ........ , can't do that-will get hurt."
We have all been there at one time and have to realize that 10mph on a Green run to some new skiers is like racing down the Birds of Prey to them. They are way out of their element and fear will take over overriding any sinctilating instruction you have given. Probably the most common new skier fears are of speed and steepness. Any good instructor knows this and will adapt his/her class accordingly.
Instructors also should watch for the person who maybe for the lst time since early childhood don't have good control of themselves and where they are going. A student that is not having a good time, is maybe rather quiet and very hesitant may be experiencing this LACK OF CONTROL fear that they don't even recognize. A lack of control over myself fear is very common in new skiers, should be recognized as such and dealt with accordingly. More time on the flats, walking etc., usually will help. The main point is to recognize this aspect of fear.
If you don't understand Empathy you will never have empathy.
Therefore, you will flounder without direction in relating to
the person with fear.
Ok, now I am a ski instructor who is teaching a lot of lst Timer and returning Beginner Level skiers and I know how to listen and have sincere understanding - SO WHAT - how is this going to help anyone overcome their fears especially any deep seated fears whether real or imagined ?
The key here is to establish trust. All new skiers have heard the story about; Jack who took his wife or girlfriend up to the top of Hellcat Run and told her to ski and that he would meet her at lunch when she got down. Bill was taken to the top of an easy run that anyone can ski and he looked down a hill that looked like the Eiger with bumps. Almost all new skiers have these stories in their mind when they encounter their lst day on skis.
RECOMMENDATION. In the ski school area while alone and away from others sit down and talk to your new student. Commence ,as many of you already do with privates and semi-privates to get their goals and desires for the lessson. First timers or real beginners and some returning skiers won't really have specific goals. Some will say; just want to ski again, want to keep up with .............., want to ski a blue, just want to learn to ski so can go with ..................., always want to ski but didn't have the nerve or money.
After listening to their goals etc. start off maybe with this or a derivation thereof:
Looking them right in the eye, as close and personal as their body language will permit.
Tell them you are a Team and by working together that their goals will be met etc.
Tell them that you will not take them anywhere over their ability and that their safety is your responsibiliity and that they can
trust you.
That we a team and will work together and learn ...........................................
Tell them that since you are a team that they need to speak up and ask questions and voice concerns over what is going
right and or should be repeated etc.
If your studnet trusts you before you even step onto the snow a sucessful beginning has ocurred. Remember to treat this private of semi private lessson as a partnership with a lot of give and take. Opening lines of communication will in addition to building trust will also give you some insight into any fears of the student. Use good listening skills and empathy and you both are on your way to developing some real rapport and consequently progress.
This thread is intended when teaching some First Timers, some Beginners and some Returning Skiers but is not limited to just those categories. Also it is not being said that all new skiers are fearful. However some of these skiers are fearful and recognizing this fear and having a working method of overcoming these fears will go a long way in ensuring that they are not one of those ONE DAY SKIERS.
Good Listening Skills - Empathy and establishing and using TRUST will go a long way in making you and your student better skiers and stewards of our sport and life style.

I know we keep hearing about Spence being Butlers guy but I'm not so sure there wasn't a little voice in his ear. Tomlin worked with a guy who was very similiar coming out of college and turned out to be a hell of an NFL talent. He reminds me alot of him when you watch him on film. He also was undersized and his play was centered around his unique instincts for his position. If Spence ends up being anything close to Derrick Brooks...We have a gem.
Using your intellect and football sense in knowing where to position yourself on a play sometimes is all that is needed to equalize the size/strength advantage of the opponent. The very fact that Spence is being noticed this early speaks volumes on his potential.

Thursday, March 11, 2010 This month I am an editing fool... pretty much doing nothing except for working on the Innerstate documentary, which is just about done. It looks like a Hell City release date is totally doable... but if you can't be at that show this year to check it out, I'll let you all know when the documentary is available. It will come with a glossy 96 page book as well. I did actually get a little tattooing done this month, including this Egyptian backpiece tattoo I'm working on for D.C. tattooist Matthew Wojociewski. A little inking makes all the hours at the computer more tolerable. Plus, Matthew does great tattoos, and I always enjoy catching up with him and checking out his latest work. My next appointment will be in a week... I'll be working on Hell City's Durb Morrison, and we'll be brainstorming about what to do this year in the Hell City Special Events Room. Lots of fun stuff happening!
I just added some new Q&A material to the Ask Guy page, including some stuff about working on older sun-damaged skin, plus dealing with the thin skin on the inside wrist and bicep, which can be prone to blowouts. As always, I invite you to send me your favorite, most frustrating questions about tattooing... and I'll do my best to provide clear answers.

Effects of Glutathione (an Antioxidant) and N-Acetylcysteine on Inflammation
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
The rationale for the potential role of antioxidants in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) remains strong despite the disappointing results of recent trials with a few select antioxidant vitamins. Glutathione (GSH) is one of the body's most powerful antioxidant agents but there is a surprising paucity of data on its use as an interventional therapy.
Glutathione, when taken orally, is immediately broken down into its constituent amino acids, of which cysteine is the only one to be essential. Available cysteine is the critical determinant of intracellular GSH concentrations. N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is an antioxidant supplement that has been used to provide a source of cysteine to replete GSH levels. By replenishing endogenous glutathione, it is possible that NAC would exert the same effect(s) as exogenous GSH.
However, there is a new delivery system, liposomal GSH, which keeps glutathione intact. In this study, the investigators propose to match the cysteine content of NAC and GSH and compare the effects of these two supplements, at two different doses, on markers of inflammation and oxidative stress.
