Hi, I'm new here and found this site whilst researching my favourite stuff! I have been a fan since a 12 year old in 1977 and in the last few years my kids have grown up with the same interests!
This has pushed me on (not that I needed much of a push) to rig up a playroom for them with a Star Wars theme. We are planning a star ceiling complete with Death Star and spacecraft as well as numerous props and photographs which I have amassed over the years. I'm looking forward to getting my battle station fully operational!
I have worked offshore now for the last 8 years as an ROV pilot and when not flying around spend my spare time offshore finding more stuff to collect!
I look forward to reading more of what other people are doing and I'm always on the look out for new ideas!

My Canon S9000 prints a considerable degree to magenta when I ID the paper as 'gloss photo', regardless of the media. However, when set to 'plain paper' the color balance looks fine, again, regardless of the media used. Color setting is set on auto. Ideas?

This may be a stupid question but why are you setting the paper type to gloss photo, when the actual paper may be a different kind? What happens if you match the paper setting in the software to the actual paper - does it print OK then?

Publish It
Find an Alternative
Songwriters/composers who neither want to do an exclusive publishing deal nor self-publish, should consider two other options.
Administration Deal
Under an administration deal, the publisher agrees to collect and pursue royalties on behalf of the songwriter/composer in return for a split, which is likely to be significantly lower than with an exclusive deal. However, the publishing company will not work the music, for example pitching it for synchs, so this approach is likely to be favoured by a more established songwriter/composer, or one who is confident that they can earn more by taking responsibility for the exploitation of their own work.
Like an exclusive deal, factors such as territories, split and term will also be considerations with an administration deal.
It is also worth inquiring who administers the copyrights held by smaller publishers, in particular outside the UK. Often sub-publishing deals are done with larger companies or other independents, in which case it should be clear what the split is with the third parties.
Non-Exclusive Deal
Some publishing companies will work compositions without requiring the composer/songwriter to sign an exclusive deal for a set term. In these cases the publisher represents specific compositions, but the composer/songwriter is not obliged to sign over other work. Such deals can be a good indicator of how effective a publisher is, before entering into an exclusive agreement, and might be particularly suited to musicians writing a diverse range of music. They composer/songwriter is free to work with the publisher best suited to exploiting a particular piece of work.
A songwriter/composer who has an administration deal or is self-published, might consider hiring an agent to act as a salesperson for their compositions. Agents aim to get the work used or performed, and charge a commission on the fee paid.

the tea party movement has been great for education in a lot of ways.
he was quite pleased that higher prices would cause people to change their driving practices. he's not wrong about that. when i pointed out to him that the higher prices would also translate into inflation of all other prices, including food, clothing, etc. his response was that "it didn't hurt Europe".
you need to read TJ in depth. he was not an atheist. i know atheists wish he was....

he's probably one of our most fascinating founders, and one of the lest understood and most misrepresented.
i have a suggestion on the addiction thing. lets cut things like heating subsidies to the poor. if my neighbors house is any example, the subsidies are enabling very bad behavior. since i have to pay for my own stuff, i don't need the govt to adjust my behavior. those who don't pay for their own stuff have no motivation to conform.let the pain begin and let it begin with the welfare class. either way, the poor get hurt. why not just be honest and say that libs really don't care about that. the end justifies the pain.
The best political move the Republicans ever made was to make the middle class and lower middle class afraid of the poor. And it's all to the advantage of their real constituents.... the filthy rich. We have the biggest gap between rich and poor in our history. The middle class is in decline as the rich get richer. We are not a poor country. It's just that the wealth of the country is concentrated in fewer and fewer hands. Democrats are not going to ask you to pay for the welfare class. That dubious honor belongs to those who have benefited the most from our rigged economy.
You can honestly say when the Clinton administration pushed through the extreme taxes on tobacco,that it was the largest tax increase the poor had seen in quite some time. And one the libs didn't have enough gall to give earned smoking credits for.
People who used to be poor are usually the biggest proponents of class warfare against the poor.... because their own class was so hard won and they know how bad it is to be poor. If you think the poor have it so great, why not quit working and go on the dole? I don't think they have it good and most of them would love to have a job that paid a decent wage.
If the rich paid taxes in proportion to the benefit they have received from society, there would be money to build infrastructure, fund education, and provide universal health care. All of those things promote jobs and the ability of the middle class to earn a good living.
you seem to feel that anyone who makes more somehow owes something to everyone else. they didn't "receive something" they earned something.
progressive income tax is the most fair way to redistribute that wealth

Who Says Pageant Queens Can't Be Feminists?
I was recently given the opportunity to interview Miss USA. Since I don't really keep up on the pageant world I had to do some research. Alyssa Campanella seemed like a fine person – I was mostly curious to ask her about feminism.
Alyssa currently lives in New York City with Miss Universe. She is hardly ever there because of all the fabulous places she "has" to travel to such as Chicago, Miami, the Bahamas, Los Angeles, Cannes and others. Once her reign as Miss USA is over she wants to attend culinary school and has been doing some work with the Food Network to prepare.
Now for the interview:
Pageants receive criticism because they are seen as negative to young women because the focus is …

Harvey has taken a political turn with her last two albums, Hope Six and Let England Shake, both of which were inspired by her travels in Kosovo and areas of Afghanistan. With Hope Six, she also turns her eyes toward the US; the title references a controversial plan to tear down public housing projects in Washington DC that has led to the displacement of low-income individuals. Her comparisons to the poverty she witnessed in Washington DC and war-torn communities is striking. I highly recommend giving it a listen, particularly if you are a fan of Harvey's work.

The Motown Lost & Found collection focuses on sets featuring unreleased tracks from the label's vaults. Motown's Quality Control team pored over every detail of recordings to ensure that only the best material made it out for release to the public. Tracks feature Motown's biggest stars, along with those who never broke through to a larger audience. While most songs were aimed at the R'n'B and pop markets, gospel and jazz tracks were cut as well. Such was the excellent quality of Motown's overall output that their unreleased masters would have been gold in another label's possession.
Over the years, unreleased tracks from the label's Detroit heyday made it out on special LP collections, with more cuts showing up on anthologies in the CD age. At the start of the new millennium, entire CD sets devoted to unreleased material started to show up, while deluxe CD editions appended a disc or more of unreleased tracks to original LPs. In recent years, digital-only Motown Unreleased sets have appeared – tracks on the most recent, devoted to 1966, would require the space of four standard audio CDs.
Staggering fans who believed the vaults' unreleased masters had slowly been cleared out, Motown shows no signs of stopping the flow of these treasures. To my ears, most of these tracks were worthy of release, though based on the label's hit-making track record, their Quality Control can't be faulted at all. As a Motown fanatic, I'm grateful to have these unreleased tracks available now.

The most well known of these avant garde rock groups to have emerged during the counter-cultural 60's was Can, a band whose influences can be heard throughout American and British music. Their drummer and founding member, Jaki Liebezeit passed away this weekend. Their brand of cerebral art funk with a minimalist form can be heard in their popular track Vitamin C, a song recently featured in the film Inherent Vice. Check out much of their discography on Hoopla.]]>
Each tune has its own feel and tone, some of which seem entirely sealed off from other reference points. Recommended for the open minded listener looking to add some new appreciation for R&B's rich and varied history.]]>
I was lucky enough to have seen the great Washington D.C. punk band Fugazi several times during their early 1990's heyday. Their live shows were raw, visceral and often improvised performances. Fugazi were well known for being politically-minded and anti-corporate in their approach to making and distributing their brand of noisy, socially conscious music. Led by punk pioneers Ian MacKaye and Guy Piccitto, Fugazi's In On the Kill Taker (1993) is my favorite album of their discography. Jem Coen's 2001 documentary film Instrument perfectly captures the band's motivation and vision with interviews and live footage of their performances.]]>
Good Times by The Monkees – I get cavities listening to this album. Super sweet, sugary pop from one of the greatest (yes, I said "greatest") bands in the history of rock and roll. It was a pure delight hearing new stuff that reminded me of the days watching reruns on MTV.
AIM by MIA – The only album that I listened to twice after hearing it the first time. M.I.A. is a master at mixing world, pop, and hip-hop with socially conscious lyrics. Plus, the bass lines are just sick.
Real by Lydia Loveless – If you have yet to listen to Loveless, do yourself a favor and spend a weekend immersed in her gritty, yet poetic alt-country sound. She performs like a woman who can care less about the country mainstream and just wants to produce good music.
A Sailor's Guide to Earth by Sturgill Simpson – Speaking of a country rebel who just does not care about mainstream country, Simpson's newest effort is the ultimate middle finger to Nashville. His cover of the "In Bloom" is one of the best renditions of a Nirvana song ever.
You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen – A fitting final album from one of the last poet/songwriters of the sixties. His voice is still haunting and his words are still beautiful.
Weezer (White Album) by Weezer; Welcome the Worms by Bleached; We Can Do Anything by Violent Femmes You Know Who You Are by Nada Surf– See previous blog posts.
Only one more month before we can thankfully close the books on 2016! A year that was not great to music fans, but also produced some great albums.
Sing me home/Yo-Yo Ma & the Silk Road Ensemble was released this year and surprised me with a variety sounds and musicians. Some of his music goes from Arab to Bluegrass with an assortment of radical tunes and talents. Yo-Yo Ma has several CDs going back decades. As all classical music it only gets better.]]>
Funkadelic's Maggot Brain was released in 1971, blowing minds with its unique mixing of funk, acid rock and the cosmic vision of Detroit's George Clinton. The music's bold, innovative approach certainly can be read as a bombastic response to the fractured state of the nation as its citizens fought over civil rights and protested against the Vietnam War.]]>

In 1954, guitarist Scotty Moore, alongside bassist Bill Black, accompanied Elvis Presley on recording sessions intended as demos for Sun Records producer Sam Phillips. Released as singles, they propelled Presley to fame, bringing global attention to the musical form known as rock and roll. Moore's guitar is prominent on all Elvis Sun and RCA hits of the '50's, covering a wide range of styles; just in the space of two sides of a 45, Moore's swinging lead gives "Hound Dog" its blues grit, then lends a sweet jazz tone to "Don't Be Cruel". Moore continued to play with Presley into the '60's (notably on his "'68 Comeback" TV special), and can also be heard on recordings by Jerry Lee Lewis, Charlie Rich, and Dale Hawkins.
By the 1960's, Stax Records' impact on Memphis music outstripped Sun's. A series of classic hits on Stax was launched by the success of the instrumental "Last Night", by instrumental combo the Mar-Keys, featuring Wayne Jackson on trumpet. As Stax's house band, they featured on hits by Otis Redding, Carla Thomas (and her dad, Rufus), Sam and Dave, Wilson Pickett, Albert King, on and on. Forming the Memphis Horns with sax player Andrew Love in the mid-'60's, Jackson went on to make hits with Aretha Franklin, Al Green, Dusty Springfield, the Box Tops, the Robert Cray Band, Peter Gabriel, Alicia Keys, Elvis Presley… on and on.
It was producer Chips Moman who brought the Memphis Horns on board for the sessions that resulted in From Elvis in Memphis and "Suspicious Minds". Moman had worked with Jackson and company at Stax as a recording engineer, before he founded American Sound Studio, where Elvis recorded his late '60's triumphs. More Moman productions at American created hits for Aretha, Dusty, Joe Tex, Neil Diamond, Bobby Womack, and many others.
Stax still rivaled American's streak of early '70's hits with tracks like the Staple Singers' "Respect Yourself", a tune written by Detroit native Mack Rice. "Sir" Rice had an earlier hit with "Mustang Sally", covered with great success by his old Falcons bandmate Wilson Pickett, before recording a string of R'n'B jewels for Stax in the late '60's, penning many more for his Stax labelmates.
Moore, Jackson, Moman, and Rice left a body of music that can be heard daily – maybe even hourly – on radios, playlists, soundtracks, and commercials all over the world. Long may Memphis, and fans of its musical heritage, celebrate their legacy.]]>
It's the perfect soundtrack for summer—happy, poppy, and full of energy—and I love to listen to it while driving with the windows down. All of her albums are available for download on Hoopla.
Are you still looking for that perfect summer album that will always be playing as you drive to Lake Michigan? Rivers Cuomo must have been locked in a room with only Beach Boys records when he started to craft the tracks that make up the "White Album." The harmonies are gorgeous and sun-drenched. The tunes are well-crafted and like a series of waves, overwhelm the listener without drowning them. I cannot remember the last time I listened to entire record without stopping, twice in a row!
I suspect that racks like "California Kids," "(Girl We Got A) Good Thing," "King of the World," "L.A. Girlz," and "Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori," will all be on multiple "Summer of 2016" playlists by the time September rolls around. This record evokes all the days I spent hanging out with friends on the many beaches of Michigan. The radio was tuned to our favorite station and we needed an extra application of sunscreen because the summer music was so bright.
My musically-inclined friend Chad and I frequently get together to talk about new music and what we're listening to, and somewhere around the summer of 2014, I told him that I believed rock music was Princess Bride-style mostly dead. New bands weren't exciting me, and the rock music I was enjoying tending to be from aging bands that had been around since at least the 90s. I feared that I was on the precipice of being one of those old people who only listen to music from their past.
And then Death hit me. From above…
I was watching Marvel's Jessica Jones one night last year (good show, BTW) and a song came on during an action scene that perked me right up. I got out my phone and Shazamed it, and it was identified as "Always On" by a band called Death from Above 1979. I had heard their name before, but not their music. The next day I check out their most recent album, The Physical World, on Spotify, and it blew me away. Every track was electrifying. I hadn't been so excited by an album in years. Maybe rock music still has a chance, I thought (I then immediately bought their album because you should always pay for the music you like; Spotify sure doesn't).
I don't know much about the band itself, other than that their first album was in 2004, they broke up in 2006, reformed years later, and put out their second album in 2014. And, boy, am I glad they did. They did something that no band has done for me in quite some time: they gave me hope that rock music will one day rise from the ashes, kick aside the banjo players, smash a few keyboards, and reign supreme once more.
I think that about sums up this perfect song from Julia Holter, one of my favorite tracks from 2016.]]>

The very first major concert that I attended was seeing the mega-duo Hall & Oates at Wing Stadium almost 34 years ago. The year was 1982 and I was ten years old. Apparently I was incredibly gullible because my parents were able to convince me that we were attending a hockey game even as we entered the building and walked by the kiosks selling H&O t-shirts. Finally it hit my daft little brain that my favorite rock band was playing that night and that my parents were evil for pulling a fast one on me. Just kidding, they're great people. H&O were one of the most successful duos from the late 1970's through to 1985. Hit after hit on the Top 40 chart, no other group has so successfully mixed rock, pop and soul music together. Stream or download (5 per week) most of their classic tunes like Private Eyes, I Can't Go For That, Sara Smile One On One, Maneater, and Kiss On My List through Freegal.]]>

I was aware of John Mulaney from his frequent appearances on The Kroll Show, and I knew he had been a writer for Saturday Night Live, but I didn't become a John Mulaney fan until I heard this album, New in Town, from our comedy collection (located in under the Dewey number 792.76 in our nonfiction audio section). His goofball charm and precision joke writing made me an instant convert. He has a terrific new special recently released on Netflix called The Comeback Kid which I encourage you to check out also, but be sure to start with New in Town. He's had one unsuccessful attempt at a network sitcom, but despite that, I have a feeling you'll be hearing a lot more from John Mulaney in the future.]]>
Beach House--Space Song
Father John Misty--Cahteau Lobby #4(in G for two virgins)
5. Tuxedo by Tuxedo – This super soul duo of Michigan's own Mayer Hawthorne and Jake One produced my favorite funk/soul album of the year. Listening to this one reminded me of roller-skating on a hot summer night in the 1980's.
4. Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit by Courtney Barnett – I always approach any artist labeled "the next Dylan" with much trepidation. I am so happy I set my fears aside with this Australian-born singer-songwriter debut record. Barnett's smart and poetic lyrics shine brightly against a straight up rock sound.
3. Glitterbug by The Wombats – Released in the spring, this album has consistently stayed with me all year. I will crank up the volume when I hear the band's distinct poppy electric beats. The best tracks, "Your Body Is A Weapon," "Greek Tragedy'" and "This Is Not A Party," are sweet treats that I have been indulging on all year.
2. Poison Season by Destroyer – Dan Bejar of Destroyer has released his masterpiece! In Poison Season, Bejar has taken some of the best aspects of his previous work and used them to craft a record that evokes both British pop, street rock and jazz. The entire record needs to be listened to in one sitting to be to appreciate the majesty of it all.
1. No Cities To Love by Sleater-Kinney – This will be the third time I blog about this album in 2015, so how could it not be my choice for the absolute best of the year? Every track is enjoyable. I would not be surprised if it ended up on my All-Time Favorites list someday.
Please check out the other eight album releases from 2015 that I considered most excellent!
Since I don't listen to the radio that often (other than NPR), I find that I'm introduced to songs, new and old, via movies and television. Last night, I polished off the new series Last Man on Earth and came across a great Kinks track called Super Sonic Rocketship. Well, we have it here in the library or you can go to Freegal's catalog and download the MP3 file.]]>

Carrie & Lowell by Sufjan Stevens – By exploring the rocky relationship with his mother, Stevens has crafted a record that is reminiscent of 2005's Illinoise. Be prepared for some raw emotional stuff.
Kindred by Passion Pit – Michael Angelakos has yet to release a weak record. I'm amazed at his ability to write about topics like his own bi-polar disorder against a strong, driving dance beat. Listeners will be surprised at how such up-tempo record contains so much pain and struggle.
Sound & Color by Alabama Shakes – Mercy! If you have yet to be blown away by the power of this band, then do yourself a favor and check them out. A combination of southern rock, soul and blues is excellent summer soundtrack.

This week's #1 find was from KPL's extensive music collection; a copy of the Ken Morgan Jazz Unit (Ken Morgan, saxophones, flute; Gail Baker, vocals; Matt Jackson, piano; Paul Erhard, bass; Mike Roush, drums), recorded Live at Chaps on Main (remember Chaps?) on a very cool Saturday evening in February, 1979. I have a copy of this on vinyl from long ago, but I must admit that I haven't played it in quite some time. After listening to the CD, I found it rather remarkable how well the music holds up some three-and-a-half decades later. The sound is clean, bright, and immediate, and the band is on fire. Do yourself a favor and give this one a spin (again), it's worth the effort.
My other pre-holiday treat was a somewhat more recent (and also local) Friends Find, a 2007 10-track compilation from the WMU Jazz Studies Program called Jazz Tracks (and since this copy comes from the Friends Bookstore, I get to keep it!). Jazz Tracks features the usual WMU musical heavyweights; Western Jazz Quartet (Trent Kynaston, Tom Knific, Steve Zegree, Tim Fronek), University Jazz Orchestra, the Justin Avery Band, and others. The CD also comes with a couple of video clips buried deep inside, including Gold Company performing a Duke Ellington tune on stage with none other than Bobby McFerrin. How cool is that?! And here's a holiday hint… there is a small box of other assorted local (WMU, KSO, etc.) CDs sitting on the shelf in the Friends Bookstore, right next to the local books. Just right for budget priced stocking stuffing!
Bargains in the Basement is an occasional series highlighting noteworthy items unearthed in the lower level of Central Library. What a treasure we have (quite literally) in the Friends Bookstore. When you can grab high quality books, music, and movies for little more than pocket change, life is good. And all the proceeds go to help support the library.

First, if you're in the mood for some new jazz (and who's not?), Friends Bookstore has a whole cart full of new acquisitions. Seriously. A whole cart full. Ok, even I'll admit that there's some pretty obscure stuff in there, but for a couple of bucks each, you definitely can't go wrong. I made out like a bandit with three killer titles by local (but nationally famed) jazzman, Tom Knific; Siena, Lines of Influence, and Home Bass. Siena features a full cast of heavies, including pianist Fred Hersch and one of my longtime favorite guitar artists, John Abercrombie. Impressive stuff, indeed. Lines is a quartet record with pianist John Knific, drummer extraordinaire Keith Hall, and tasty sax work by Chris Geckstrom. Lastly, Tom's "Duos and Trios" release, Home Bass, boasts an equally impressive cast, with Billy Hart, drums; Trent Kynaston, sax; and others. All are wonderful recordings and terrific finds.
And… just in time for the holidays, Friends have so cleverly set up a cart chock full of holiday music and seasonal videos. Sinatra and Bing and all the classics are there, of course, but as I've confessed here before, I tend to seek out the more unusual when it comes to musical holiday fare. (There's even a new film about this strange obsession due to arrive in December. There's a trailer below - thanks for the tip, Karl!) So, in between the Mannheim Steamrollers and the Gregorian chanters, along comes this cool collection called Maybe This Christmas Too? with Dave Matthews, Barenaked Ladies, Oh Susanna, and the Flaming Lips. Nice! I also grabbed a lovely disc from Utah with some wonderful guitar and violin works by Michael Lucarelli and Kelly Parkinson. And to top it off, I managed to secure a swingin' copy of Have Yourself A Tractors Christmas. Priceless.
Bargains in the Basement is an occasional series highlighting noteworthy items unearthed in the lower level of Central Library. What a treasure we have (quite literally) in the Friends Bookstore. When you can grab high quality books, music, and movies for little more than pocket change, life is good. And all the proceeds go to help support the library. So shop often; you never know what you'll find. And stay tuned… I'll let you know what I find!
LP1 stands in stark relief to electronic contemporaries because it emits a haunting, raw energy that is also crisply edited. FKA twigs (26-year-old Brit Tahliah Barnett) pairs her own vocal and production talents with those of industry innovators like Sampha and Dev Hynes to deliver synth-heavy tones that range from dissonant ("Pendulum") to lush ("Kicks"). The first track, "Preface," opens with FKA twigs singing hymnal notes, quickly chased by a simple drum beat, followed by an unintelligible man's voice. Though the pace rarely moves beyond a nonchalant head nod, the album is not lethargic. The first single, "Two Weeks," is barely mid-tempo but achieves a hypnotic, hair-raising feel. A few tracks veer towards '90s R&B production, yet never sound dated. "Give Up" could be a dark follow-up track to Janet Jackson's "Velvet Rope." FKA twigs neatly contorts her controlled soprano to fit LP1's sonic range. She never belts, but when paired with gauzy tones and deep bass her voice takes on an ethereal quality. Those vocals are essential to the album's central theme: tension.
LP1 communicates tension primarily by placing the familiar in unfamiliar spaces, sonically and lyrically. "Closer" sounds like a hymn you might hear at Mass if not for the steady 808s and chirping synthesizer. While "Numbers" is a frustrated missive to a transient former lover, "Two Weeks" confidently declares the singer's erotic power. These contrasting elements feel like an intentional rejoinder in a music landscape that demands definition. More than just sharing FKA twigs' distinctive vision, LP1 expresses a multidimensionality inscribed with self-love, doubt, narcissism, insignificance, and invincibility: all emotions rarely discussed in public. Now, check out the album and mark the date on your calendar—it will come in handy.]]>

To that end, I just snagged a nice copy of No Direction Home: The Bootleg Series Vol 7 at the Friends Bookstore. This double disc from 2005 is a companion (sort of a soundtrack) to the Martin Scorsese film of the same name, gathering 28 mostly unreleased rarities, including one of Bob's very first recordings from 1959, plus various demos, live tracks and alternate takes – mostly from the mid-sixties. It's an interesting look back at a pivotal point in Dylan's career.
Looking ahead, November should be an interesting month. Sony is preparing to release The Basement Tapes Complete: The Bootleg Series Vol. 11 (including a 6 disc deluxe edition!), which features for the first time the legendary "Big Pink" recordings "presented as close as possible to the way they were originally recorded and sounded back in the summer of 1967." Also in November, we'll get a brand new collection of recordings by Elvis Costello and others (members of Dawes, My Morning Jacket, Mumford & Sons, et al) called Lost on the River: The New Basement Tapes. These recordings feature new original music that underscores a newly discovered batch of Dylan's handwritten lyrics from the 1967 Basement Tapes period. Oh, and it's produced by T Bone Burnette, so you know it should be mighty interesting. As always, thanks Friends and stay tuned.

If you're searching for Bossa Nova artists in Hoopla or Freegal, then give these well-known artists a shot: Bebel Gilberto, Gilberto Gil, Stan Getz (made several Bossa Nova tinged albums), João Gilberto, Astrud Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Charlie Byrd, Sergio Mendes, and Wanda Sa.
The Motels: Suddenly Last Summer
Marc Bolan (aka T-Rex) was the man behind the boogie-woogie glam rock that came to define the sound of early 70's British music. Mixing campy looks with big guitar hooks, T-Rex banged out several pop anthems including 20th Century Boy, Telegram Sam, Bang a Gong, and I Love to Boogie.
This year marked the 20th anniversary of the death of Kurt Cobain and the subsequent dissolution of his band Nirvana. After being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year, Nirvana continue to be the band most associated with the rise of alternative music into the mainstream during the 1990's.
How about a little music from the film Magnolia's soundtrack:
Keeping with film scores, nobody does gloomy and melodic better than Philip Glass:
Often lumped in with the French Impressionism of Maurice Ravel and Claude Debussy, Erik Satie's hauntingly simple music evokes nostalgia and memory:
In her heyday, Billie Holiday's singular style was unmatched in expressing the depth of human emotion:
Two titans of modern music, Aaron Copland and Benny Goodman:
And lastly, the beauty and simplicity of The Beatitudes as performed by The Kronos Quartet and featured in the film The Great Beauty:
That line is from a 1992 Tori Amos song entitled "Mother," a beautiful piano ballad about leaving home, or maybe leaving what you know. It's really more of a plea than an assertion—a fear about forgetting what makes us who we are. The song, one of my personal favorites, is off her first album, Little Earthquakes, and now—22 years and 13 albums later—Tori brings that idea full circle with her latest LP, Unrepentant Geraldines. In the song "Oysters," she sings, "I'm working my way back to me again." Exploring the self or being self-aware is a common thread throughout all of her albums, but it resonates particularly strongly with Geraldines, in part because the album seems to be a return to form for her—that is, it's more piano-based, simple storytelling/songwriting than some of her recent high-concept albums. I could easily hear a song like "Weatherman" nestled between the songs on 1994's Under the Pink or "Selkie" sitting alongside the best of her early B-sides. Don't get me wrong—this isn't Tori trying to relive past glories; the songs are much fresher than if she were trying to replicate what she's already done. Unrepentant Geraldines comes from a different place than any of her early work, from a maturity that only comes with time—whether that means writing about aging ("16 Shades of Blue"), being a mother ("Rose Dover" and "Promise"), or corporate greed/religious oppression ("Unrepentant Geraldines"). Her early work will always be my favorite, but I'm happy to have an album like Geraldines that, over 20 years after I first started listening to her, speaks to me.
If you've liked any of her previous work, I'd give this album a try. In addition to the CDs we have in our collection, you can find almost every Tori Amos album, including Unrepentant Geraldines, on Hoopla. What isn't on Hoopla—Scarlet's Walk, The Beekeeper, and American Doll Posse—is available on Freegal.
What I really like about him is that he is very versatile. Raphael Saadiq is a singer, songwriter, guitarist and a record producer. I've read that his heroes are Chuck Berry, Stevie Wonder, Sly Stone and Little Walter. He says he wants to be a throwback with a futuristic twist. That certainly comes through on his latest CD Stone Rollin. That CD took me back to the 50s and 60s. It also had me reminiscing about Sam Cook. There are many great sounds and it is a great show of talent. It's definitely R&B at its finest and it had me rolling.
Frustrated with an industry built on a tradeoff between maximum convenience and minimum quality, veteran music-maker Neil Young is spearheading an effort to make true, lossless high resolution audio available in a conveniently portable format. Allied with some of the leading technical minds in the sound recording industry, PonoMusic is being launched to offer high resolution digital music available in a convenient iPod-like format. But according to the Pono website, "PonoMusic is more than just a high-resolution music store and player; it is a grassroots movement to keep the heart of music beating. PonoMusic aims to preserve the feeling, spirit, and emotion that the artists put in their original studio recordings."
So, high quality audio can now accompany you anywhere you go… yes, even the beach. But is there really a difference? For the sake of comparison, most mp3 files have a bit rate of 160kbps to 256kbps, 320k if you're lucky. Mp3 of course is a "lossy" format… some of the sound is actually removed in an effort to make the files smaller and more portable… think of a photograph in a newspaper… it looks "ok" at arm's length, but up close you'll see that it's actually a bunch of dots and not really all that clear. Pono, on the other hand, is designed to play high resolution FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) files - we're talkin' full resolution 192kHz/24 bit files that will "fill in" those holes with upwards of 30 times more information than a standard MP3; about four times more than a standard audio CD. The result is said to be nothing short of amazing. And you'll feed your Pono player through a familiar looking online music store not at all unlike iTunes. And yes, your existing mp3 files (and other formats) will work, too, so there's nothing to lose and plenty to gain.
So after a couple of years' worth of prototypes, development, and grass roots promotion, Pono (Hawaiian for "righteous") is preparing to launch later this year with the help of a Kickstarter project. The project hoped to raise $800,000 in capital in 35 days – a lofty goal, perhaps, but enough to put the program on the street and (hopefully) create a buzz among music lovers. Well… the Kickstarter project so far is working… uh… rather well… to say the least. Pono met its initial goal in a mere 12 hours, and as of this writing, the project I hovering just under $4 million… with 28 days still to go!
Here are some pretty remarkable celebrity endorsements of the new system. If you're a music fan like me, you'll probably be salivating after you hear these. And if you're serious about it, log on to the Pono Kickstarter site and ante up… you could land some pretty righteous swag for your efforts.
Who is Roy Harper? I saw a review once that described him as "the consummate stoned folk poet," but that was a long time ago. More accurately, Roy is an introspective English singer songwriter, who for decades has lurked in the midst of the British music scene (sort of an Irish Neil Young in a way), swapping licks with his friends (many of whom just happen to be among the biggest names in the business), while himself seemingly happy to remain a folk hero in the shadows of relative obscurity, especially on this side of "the pond."
So about these friends… Roy has worked for years with his good friend Jimmy Page (who gave "Hats Off" to Roy on the third Led Zeppelin album), and countless others who have assisted him along the way (and vice versa); his longtime friend David Gilmour (Pink Floyd's "Have a Cigar" was sung by Roy), Pete Townshend (who plays on Man & Myth), the late Ronnie Lane and Keith Moon (both of whom appeared with Roy at a special Valentine's Day concert, gosh, 40 years ago today), and others.
Roy's music is not easy listening by any stretch of the imagination. His songs often require work; they make you think, which at times perhaps makes him another candidate for that "artists' artist" category. Still, the vast majority of Harper's work is quite approachable and indeed very beautiful. In 2013, Roy received a prestigious BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards Lifetime Achievement Award for having made "an enormous and lasting contribution to folk music over a sustained number of years."
And about the album… Man & Myth, Roy's 22nd studio album and his first in 13 years (not taking into account a dozen or so live recordings and several compilations), finds him in familiar territory, reflecting on life, love, loss and living (Roy is 72 now). "I thought I had retired...," he stated in a press interview, "...I was inspired to write again around 2009, by many of the younger generation finding me and asking, who are you?" Uncut called the songs on Man & Myth "poignant contemplations on time and its passing, friendship, love, betrayal, memory." Another reviewer wrote, "...this isn't a 'return to form'. It's business as brilliant [as] usual."
Man & Myth has been included on several "Best Of 2013" lists, including MOJO and UNCUT (and my own, of course), and the album has earned several top reviews by the European music press. Four tracks on the album were recorded (interestingly enough) in Laurel Canyon near Los Angeles (Roy seldom appears stateside), and the others were done back on home turf in County Cork, Ireland. The latter tracks are among my favorites, especially "Heaven Is Here" > "Exile," a 23 minute epic exploration based in Greek mythology.
Here's a sample from Man & Myth...
New to Roy? If you like acoustic stuff, I highly recommend that you track down a copy of Stormcock, his 1971 acoustic opus with Jimmy Page (billed as "S. Flavius Mercurius"), which is still viewed as one of his best efforts. Or if a full band is more to your liking, try The Unknown Soldier (1980)—perhaps Roy's most "commercial" effort to date, and Once (1990), both of which feature David Gilmour and Kate Bush.
Here's Roy Harper performing a cover of Bob Dylan's "Girl from the North Country" recorded by BBC4 on September 26th, 2005, at the "Talkin' Bob Dylan Blues: A Bob Dylan Tribute Concert" in London.
And if you're still with me, here's a treat… some recently discovered footage of Roy performing live in the studio about 1969 or 1970…. (there are five tracks in all). Enjoy!

The master's degree program in individualized studies is designed to 1) accommodate students with needs that are not met by existing programs, 2) recognize that current employment opportunities as well as future ones may not be structured around existing departments or degree programs, 3) provide flexibility and innovation, 4) recognize the needs of people who have been out of school for longer periods of time and have special occupational or vocational situations and 5) assist students who want to change their field of study from that of their baccalaureate degree.
Individualized programs must be based in departments that currently offer master's degree programs.
The general regulations governing graduate education at NMU will apply to this program (e.g., transfer credit policies, time limitation requirements, grade point average for graduation, and credit requirements). Students are admitted to the graduate school as a "non-degree"-seeking student until an approved plan of study is on file.
The student must satisfy the prerequisites for all courses in the plan of study.
The plan of study must be approved by the department advisory committee, the department head representing the major discipline and the Graduate Programs Committee before the plan may be initiated. No more than eight semester credit hours, taken before the plan of study has been approved, will be accepted in the program.
- The proposed master's degree must equal at least 32 semester hours excluding any deficiency credits.
- The departments must be willing to participate in the proposed degree program.
- One of the designated graduate faculty advisers in a primary department must be named as the program adviser.
- Secondary disciplines (departments/divisions) are defined as those disciplines in which eight semester hours of course work are proposed at the master's level. Secondary disciplines must approve the course work as part of the program.
- If the graduate faculty advisers determine that a student has any deficiencies in his/her background, the proposal must list the course work necessary to alleviate those deficiencies. Prerequisite deficiency course work must be completed before courses listed in the plan of study are taken.
- The graduate faculty adviser from the "home" department will establish an advisory committee. This committee will consist of a minimum of three faculty members, including the graduate faculty adviser. This committee will oversee the development of the student's individualized plan of study. The home department head will process the plan of study in the same manner that other graduate plans are processed. The plan of study form for MIS degree is available online, under the "Students" link to the Graduate Education home page.
The student, in cooperation with his/her advisory committee, must develop a written proposal containing the following:
- A statement of the special need, interest, or employment opportunity that identifies the major reason for pursuing the proposed program of study;
- A set of specific educational goals that are related to the special need, interest or employment opportunity previously identified;
- Statements indicating the direct relationship between each specific goal and each course included in the program of study; and
- A statement summarizing the reason why existing degree programs do not meet the specific goals identified.
- The student must complete a graduate project which may be (1) a thesis, (2) a graduate research project report, portfolio or exhibit or (3) two file papers. Total credits for the project can range from 4-8 credits.
- The individualized plan of study will be sent to both the Office of Graduate Education and the Graduate Program Committee for consideration by three members of the graduate faculty who are not members of the student's advisory committee. The decision of the graduate programs committee to accept or reject the plan, or request modifications, will be reported to the student's advisory committee.
- All programs are subject to approval by the Assistant Provost of Graduate Education.
- All changes to the original plan of study must be approved by the student's departmental advisory committee and the graduate program committee prior to implementation.

On Sunday 6 March under clear blue skies, Immigration Museum hosted its first West African Cultural Festival. The Honourable Nicholas Kotsiras, Minister for Multicultural Affairs & Citizenship, opened the event before a spectacular parade in which traditionally clad representatives from 16 West African countries welcomed visitors in the museum's festival courtyard.

West Africa as a region includes Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Côte d'Ivoire, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Togo and Western Sahara.
As the region boasts such an incredible range of cultural, political and historical origins, an organising committee of community representatives worked hard to program performances, displays, films and talks to represent the diversity of West African communities in Victoria.
The main stage played host to incredible performances all day including drumming and dance, traditional kora strummed solo, and funky Afrobeat inspired by Nigerian pop-legend Fela Kuti. More than 800 visitors over the day sat in the shade in the courtyard perhaps enjoying Ekwusi soup with steamed semolina fufu, or Chicken Yassa washed down with a cool glass of hibiscus tea.

In the theatrette, audiences learnt to make their own fufu as well as a djembe drum (starting from scratch with the full hide of a goat!) They were also treated to films and talks including accounts of Malian history and the traditional cultural practices of Benin. Across the Museum, West African community groups ran information stalls affording visitors a window into contemporary West African culture in Victoria.

The festival is part of a suite of programs running alongside the West Africa: Rhythm and Spirit exhibition (running till 29 May 2011), which features objects collected from West African countries by Joel A. and Patricia H. Vanderburg from Otago, New Zealand.
As with each of Immigration Museum's cultural festivals, the West African festival provided an opportunity for audiences to engage across cultures and for communities to take a leading role in presenting their culture and activating Museum spaces.

This year, the Museum will expand on the success of this festival, and continue to run a series of cultural events that bring people from diverse cultural backgrounds together in celebration. Stay tuned for more details.

Re: Exec's how bout bringing back the Fleetwood
A re-issue of the 93-96 Fleetwood would be perfect. With its massive chrome, bench seat and fingertip steering, its more of a retro machine than the Chrysler 300, which is everywhere in my home state of NY. The fleetwood gets good mileage (compared to the SUV's out there). And pardon if I offend: I love Lincolns, but the '98-05 Town Car is the ugliest car ever made by that division. by contrast, the 2000-style Deville looks good. (I cringed when they discontined the fins in 99) A strong competitor with a V8, rwd and some classic tailfin styling and floating ride would take on the 300 and establish a whole new market. BMW and Audi people wouldn't look at a Cadillac in a million years, even if it was twice as good and half the price. I looked at that new STS and the seats were about as comfortable as upholstered cinderblocks, What gives? I like the RWD, but that is not Cadillac comfort. I would like to see a Cadillac for Cadillac lovers again.
Re: Exec's how bout bringing back the Fleetwood
Exactly! I own a '83 Coupe Deville and a '90 Brougham d'Elegance and I love them both very much, I don't know what I'll do when the last of the Fleetwoods are all gone and GM has not yet come out with a new version, because the '96 Fleetwood is my idea of the last new Cadillac. Nothing at all like it has been made since then. Oh and if another Fleetwood is ever made, it needs to have classic styling, I'm not saying that it needs to be a clone of the '96, but it needs to have class... and rear fender skirts.
Re: Exec's how bout bringing back the Fleetwood
If they come back with the Fleetwood, it would be a huge disappointment for anyone who appreciates the old body style Cadillacs. Look at every car on the road now, from an inexpensive car to an expensive one, they all look the same: CHEAP AND PLASTIC-Y. Thats how GM would make the Fleetwood now. The bumpers on all these cars are terrible, chips and cuts that show gray underneath. So cheap looking. Look at the Fleetwoods bumper, look at the chrome. It nearly covers half the door. You think they would ever make another car like that? No way.
As for parking, I only need one try.

That V12 project will be your answer to the Fleetwood successor!
Re: Exec's how bout bringing back the Fleetwood
*IF* Cadillac decided to build a full size, rear drive car... They would not be able to call it something sophisticated sounding like Fleetwood Brougham. They'd end up calling it the FWB... Just my two cents. I enjoy my 81 Deville because it says Coupe DeVille on the sides. People are getting so lazy they cant say that now. Its DTS, or STS, or CTS... can you see it? The ever luxurious FWB.
And heck, they finally got the variable displacement engines to work, so throw in a big one!

Re: Exec's how bout bringing back the Fleetwood
Exactly my thoughts as well.It`s pathetic that 2000 and up Cadillacs don`t have real names---just letters.As you said,it`s lazy.
I know Cadillac`s executive management must be hearing complaints about the present day Cadillac luxury car`s shrinking act.
It`s a no brainer to know that if the big Fleetwood was offered to the public again,the list to purchase them would be a long one indeed.

Re: Exec's how bout bringing back the Fleetwood
The big cars are too well made. Cadillac does not want to make a car that lasts that long. They want it wore out when the payments stop so you can start paying on another. Big cars save lives in a wreck is the best part, that is why a lot of people drive SUVs and trucks. It takes 2 trips to town in a small car to buy what you can take home in 1 trip in a 93-96 Fleetwood and saves gas at 25 mpg.
Re: Exec's how bout bringing back the Fleetwood
Isn't the DHS basically the Fleetwood trim. Or do you mean the Fleetwood-Brougham?

Hey everyone i'm again looking for another MMO
Currently playing Neverwinter alot. but that's about it.
I played Rift, WoW, Flyff, FF XIV, Tera, Aion, Lineage 2 but didnt really like any of them enough to stick with em
I'm looking for a new MMORPG with a campaign aspect, like neverwinter,
just a gigantic chain of quests and events that happen.
aka. alot of awesome quests (not like WoW or something) but a bit more interesting.
also. I dont care about graphics much as long as it isnt TOO old.
also great PvE (instances and such) would be great!
I'd also like it if the game is not P2W but still has nice pets, mounts etc.
also open world if possible but not a must!
I don't do PvP much as I have no idea where to start so that isnt really important.
thanks in advance!

The U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released its January employment report this morning. For the first month of 2013, the U.S. economy added 157,000 jobs, with the unemployment rate remaining going up a tenth of a point to 7.9 percent. With the new year, the BLS has revised its numbers for 2012, so while the 157,000 jobs would have beat the previous average for job growth for 2012 (153,000 jobs per month) by last month's calculations, the number is below the new average of 180,000 new jobs added per month for last year.
November's employment numbers were revised up by a staggering 86,000 jobs (from 161,000 to 247,000), and December's numbers were revised up by 41,000 jobs (from 155,000 to 196,000). Seeing this trend leaves hope that next month the January numbers will be revised up as well.
The architecture and engineering services segment of the economy lost 300 jobs in January. That's a disappointment after the 3,800 jobs added in December, the 2,400 jobs added in November, and the 1,500 added in October. This contradicts slightly the AIA's Architecture Billings Index, which in December had shown growth in architecture billings for five straight months, albeit at a slower rate than the growth seen in November or October.
The construction industry had another good month for job growth as well. After adding 30,000 in December, the construction industry added another 28,000 jobs in January. (This number of new construction jobs is nearly twice that reported on Wednesday by ADP and Moody's Analytics. This is the first time in four months that the BLS report has come in stronger for the construction industry than has their report.) Most of the new construction jobs went to trade contractors (residential and nonresidential), who posted 26,000 new jobs in January. Residential building construction saw a small 700 new jobs and Nonresidential new building construction actually lost 2,000 jobs.
But the news if much better when you take into account the BLS's revisions of last year's data. Since hitting a low in January 2011, the construction industry has added 296,000 new jobs, and a third of that gain happened in the last four months alone. This is not nearly enough jobs to make up for the 2 million construction jobs lost since the peak of the construction bubble, but it is a promising start.

Thanks Rafal, will do. This is only the first sculpt, your advice has been taken on board,
still much to do yet. My only concern now is that it will be too heavy when finished.
Coming on nice beans , weight should be ok depending on how you're gonna fix them
True jakefox24, hopefully not via trouser braces, that won't look right at all LOL!!!! Thanks
This will be good for casting but hard to troop in. I did the exact same thing when I started mine but abandoned the build b/c it got far too heavy to be feasible.
Thanks Bobafiend, gona stick with it for now, see how it turns out
my boba when finished will be for display mostly

"The paper quality was really nice and thick, the matte finish that was included was very nice and smooth. Our family photo turned out great and I have already received 4 compliments from friends who just received them in the mail yesterday!"
"I loved this card! The picture I wanted to use was a tight frame of my baby's face and it cropped into this card nicely (parts of her face were covered by other designs I tried). I did change the back of the card to a plain brown so that I could write a personal message there to those I was sending them to. We don't live near family and cannot make the long trip for every holiday. By receiving this card, they will know they are loved, and in some small way- it's like we are there, hanging from a magnet on their fridge! :)"
"I used this with a picture of our 3 month old son as his birth announcement and people loved the fact it was a unique birth announcement and loved the sentiment of "Thanks". I added a cute photo and quote about our younger son from our older son on the back which was also a hit. Quality was great as always - photo was so clear it was almost too perfect (could see every little skin detail since it was a close-up). Paper nice and thick."
"I ordered this design because it really says it all. I'm so very thankful... for my sweet baby boy. I added a cute portrait on the front and two pics of him eating his first solids on the back. These will be a hit with the Grannies and Grampies!"

I have used this product for almost 1 year. I am borderline glaucoma. At my last checkup my doctor told me that my pressure in my eyes was 16 where it had been 24 and 25 in the past. I have not changed anything else except added this Lutein product. I rate it very highly. I do not have to see the eye doctor every 6 months now. He told me I don't need to see you for 2 years.

Ok, corny review title. My computer screen-weary eyes have stopped twitching, though, and colors seem more vivid. No side effects noticed. As always, fast, low cost shipping from iHerb.
In theory helps with the eyes. In practice I didn't notice any effect.
Posted by danarm on Sep 15, 2013 | Verified Purchase
I think the eye strain and pain I have after working on the computer may be due to eye muscle strain and circulation strain, and not a problem with the retina (which Lutein helps). I have also taken Zeaxanthin from LEF, with no effect. Strange. I tried many brands of Lutein, with no effect. Instead of lutein, I recommend taking Idebenone (which had an effect on my tired eyes from the very first softgel I took) and Astaxanthin (which takes about 1 month to build up).
great supplement for the eyes

I have good vision and I want to maintain good vision. I tend to get dry and watery eyes at times (on the computer a lot); however, ever since I have been taking Lutein Esters (over two weeks now), my eyes have felt a lot better and healthier too. Less dry and have not caught my eyes really watering at all. Also, most of my family on my mom's side wears glasses and I do not want to ever get to the point where I need to wear glasses or even close to needing to wear them. Glasses actually make your eyes worse and you have to keep getting stronger prescription to see well.

I was diagnosed with macular degeneration and noticed all the available OTC medications had low doses of Lutein in them. From all I read Lutein is the best thing to take to slow the progression. It has done just that

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Rick WI
Henry is right, it's hard to beat a very well setup carb and intake system for the street. My choice for performance is ALWAYS a well setup Holley HP.
BUT, a poor carb setup to EFI is like apples and footballs. The last retro we did was a 400 SBC from an Edelbrock carb and intake to a TPI controlled by a F.A.S.T. EFI system. The customer was EXTREMELY pleased with how it ran.
The trouble though with the stock TPI is it's not going to make horsepower. This application was in a truck with aftermarket runners. Still not a HP king at all but it made 450 ft/lbs of torque under 3000 RPM on the dyno. That's SAE corrected as well. Not foo foo magazine numbers.
|1931 steve
All depends on what you want to do with the engine.
The TBI is good for factory engines and has a good cold start and idle at any temp. The TPI looks better performs better and I thing has a better idle quality.
If you compare induction to induction I think the TPI wins hands down. Better performance, better fuel economy, and better looking.
I have a complete TPI set up with the upgraded runners, just waiting to be installed on a engine, problem is I have had this set up for at least 2 years, but since upgraded to a LT1 engine. So the TPI just sits on the shelf. I think for the money the TPI is worth it. Just my .02
you can't for the time being beat a modern carb set up for power but if you have the time and money port injection is a nice set up, TBI is good but the injectors have limited flow so if you build a hot engine it may be more problems than it is worth. Now for off road injection (TBI or port) is the only real option.
henry @ oles
Tune port injection vs. throttle body injection
I am building a 39 chevy sedan. I am planning on using a new 350 like came in the 94 chevrolet pickups. The 94 pickup i have gets about 18 mpg with throttle body injection. Tune port injection looks good on a street rod, but is there any advantage to it. I can get a throttle body injection system complete at a pretty cheap price, but The TPI seems to be about $300 to $400 and most of them require me to get the 90-92 computer for speed density sensor. I know that most of TPI injections i have ran across are from 305's and will need the injectors upgraded to the 350 ones. That will run over a couple hundred dollars. So is it really worth the extra money to go tune port over throttle body? I am building a driver car, not a drag car and on a limited budget. Saving money to build a new house. I am running a 700R4 from a 89 Camaro and a 3.40 gear in an 8" rear-end. Thanks for any info, Steven

Very small area controls the state

The should redraw all the state lines and try to put all the urban areas in separate states from the rural people...They should but then who would pay for all their free stuff?
Being a downstater, would really like to see chicago pulled out of IL.. Very small area controls the state. Its a waste of time to vote in anything other than local elections..
It is a shame that these people are destroying this country just so that they get their power and keep it.Jim
The panhandle of Nebraska has often discussed succeeding from Nebraska and joining Wyoming...
The same dynamic is at play in the Florida Panhandle. Every few years something comes up about them leaving Florida and becoming part of Alabama. On the other hand the state of Georgia just wants to take in all the land that adjoins her.
My parents just forwarded me a joke that is making the email rounds for the retirement set and it reminded me of this thread."Limit all politicians to two terms. One in office; one in prison. Detroit and Chicago already do this."

By Joe Brewin
Robin van Persie admits there was an element of hopefulness in his glorious winner against Everton on Saturday.
The Arsenal captain struck a sweet volley with 20 minutes remaining to sink David Moyes' side and register his 15th league goal of the campaign.
Van Persie concedes he took a risk and hailed the role of architect Alex Song.
"Normally I would have taken a touch to get it right," the Dutchman told Arsenal Player. "It was a bit of a gamble but in the end a very nice goal just inside the post. I can't wish for more.
"It was a great pass again from Alex Song. It's unbelievable - he's a defensive midfielder but the amount of skill he has is just a dream.
"It was vital to stay on track and get the three points," he added. "It was a hard game against a good Everton side so in the end we were very pleased.
"We've played solid at the back for a couple of weeks now - I mean really solid. You know then that as a forward player, one chance can be decisive."
You can watch the full interview with Robin on Arsenal Player.

text: In his book, "Figure Skating's Greatest Stars" (published 2009) Steve Milton has this to say about Grishuk & Platov: "They were at the epicenter of ice dancing for more than half a decade, but history's jury has yet to pass full judgment on Oksana Grishuk and Evgeny Platov. Chances are that the sheer weight of their competitive achievements will outlive the raw memories of their volatile reign. " Almost 16 years since they won their last eligible competition-the 1998 Olympics, what is your assessment of G&P's career and their impact on the sport? How would you compare their impact to other great ice dance teams? IMO, G&P, along with T&D, K&P and V&M, are the four greatest teams in ice dance from the modern ice dance era. In terms of sheer medal wins, G&P dominated the field unlike any other team since T&D. Do you think this dominance is explained more because G&P were that good of a team, or because the quad that they dominated over was comparatively weaker than other quads? In other words, if G&P had to skate against teams such as V&M, D&W, K&P, A&P while everyone was at the pinnacle of their skating ability, how would G&P fare? (I know G&P skated against K&P and A&P, but G&P were still a relatively up and coming team at the time they competed against K&P, while they same is in reverse for G&P and A&P).

I have a P229R in 9mm and it is a very well built gun! It fits my hands well now that I put the E2 grips on her. The original grips were just a little to wide but not real bad, depends on your hands.
As for shoot-ability, it's very smooth and very little felt recoil (9mm). Accurate once I learned SIG's sights. Easy to take-down and clean. What more can someone want?
I can not compare it to the Kimber as I do not own any.....
Good Luck,

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Has anyone here taken the MBTI test?
(If you don't know it, it's a popular test based on Jung's theories used for things like career guidance, it has its flaws, but a lot of people find it interesting. There's an ok free version here: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp and better result descriptions here: http://typelogic.com/ You get rated on Introversion vs Extroversion, physical Sensing vs iNtuiting, Thinking vs Feeling, and Perceiving vs Judging, judging here being organised and scheduled rather than judgemental.)
Personally, I'm INTP-xNTP. N&P are strong, T moderate, I borderline.
I'm guessing there's a tendency for zinemakers to be stronger on the I.
I'm predicting there's a lot of INFx people making perzines. There's certainly a lot of Fi involved in writing a confessional perzine.
Views: 311
I got INFJ. 44% introverted, 50% intuitive, 88% feeling, and 33% judging. That's a lot of feeling, haha! The typelogic description sounded pretty right, idealistic and picky about friends, etc.
I'm sure you're right about most zinesters and the I, it'll be interesting to see more responses....
Ooh, I was pleased to find this thread, as personality typing has been a great interest of mine for quite a while (I wrote about it im my last zine, actually).
I'm very much an INFP (though more strongly on the I & N than on the F& P).
And how about the Enneagram? From the zines I have read, I would guess there are a lot of type 4 zinesters, especially among perzine writers (myself included). There is a lot of information and a test you can take here: http://www.enneagraminstitute.com/
INTJ for me, more of a thinker!
Your Type is
|Strength of the preferences %
The enneagram is a funny one, I either come out 7w8 or 5w4 on tests, but it's not 7 integrating to 5, because it's the bad points of type 5 too.
INFJ. I was an INFP when I was younger and switched over to the J as an adult.
There is a reason my zine is called Introvert.
Haha Steve, I knew you'd be an INTJ. The epitome of the Scientist. Loves planning things.
INTJ - which, funnily enough, is often linked with being a librarian, which I am.
Very introverted, which explains a lot.

Chloe Moretz's Top Fashion Moments

Even if you're just showing a sliver of skin like Ashley Benson, put your hair in beachy waves or try your hand at a smoky eye. If you go super severe with your beauty look, it might appear like you're trying the teensiest bit too hard.

"I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle."
There is fundamental interest in being able to see more than the naked eye can perceive. The analytics of the Terminator, witnessing the magnetic spectrum like Geordi La Forge, Cyclops's ability to fire laser beams - enhancing vision takes us straight to science fiction and a world of almost infinite possibility. A world that Google this week let us dream may not be that far away…
Project Glass
Had it come from any smaller company, 'Project Glass' would be dismissed as a pipe dream, the ambitious vision of a design student trying to attract the attention of a high profile employer. However, it comes from Google's labs, and the company is deadly serious. "We think technology should work for you—to be there when you need it and get out of your way when you don't," it proclaimed. "A group of us from Google [x] started Project Glass to build this kind of technology, one that helps you explore and share your world, putting you back in the moment."
A promotional video (above) accompanied the announcement demonstrating how core smartphone functionality (mapping, social media, video calls, etc) could be integrated into a pair of lightweight glasses using virtual reality. Google showed off a concept design and then, as if to demonstrate the strength of its conviction, a few days later company co-founder Sergey Brin casually turned up to a public charity event wearing a pair (below). A timescale appeared (late 2013) and even a price range was mooted (£300-£500).
What Nonsense
There is a logical reaction to all of this: "what nonsense!" The Project Glass video has already been subject to numerous parodies and it raises more questions, both in terms of hardware and software, than it answers. Looking at the hardware you have to question battery life in an age where we can barely get a smartphone to see out a day. In addition there are questions of durability, heat, fit (especially for those who already wear glasses), processing power, always-on internet connectivity and much more. Just wait for the campaigns to begin about them cooking your brain.
The questions asked of software are even greater. Invasive (perhaps even hypnotic) advertising, new levels of privacy invasion (both you and others you 'see'), increased risk of theft (they don't even have to be taken from a pocket) and further distraction from the physical world (observation when walking, riding and driving is already poor) are all huge, potentially deal-breaking obstacles. A raft of new legislation regarding their use would also have to be drafted worldwide.
So why do we hold onto the dream so tightly?
