Gary James' Interview With
Freddy Cannon
I first met Freddy Cannon at a P.B.A. (Police Benevolent Association) show in Syracuse, New York back in 1978. He was appearing on the same bill as Bobby Rydell, Del Shannon and The Marvelettes at the Syracuse War Memorial. After the show, there was a party at The Hotel Syracuse, which I attended. Freddy Cannon introduced me to Del Shannon.
Freddy has just written his autobiography titled
Where The Action Is
(Publish America). Freddy Cannon has been called "a Rock and Roll original" by Chuck Berry and "one of the greats" by Jerry Lee Lewis. Freddy's hits include "Tallahassee Lassie", "Palisades Park" and "Action". He was featured on all of the top TV shows, including
Midnight Special
and Where The Action Is. He was the most frequent guest on Dick Clark's
American Bandstand
Freddy Cannon talked with us about his life... and what a life it's been!
- So Freddy, why did you pick this time to publish your autobiography?
- I think because it's the right time. I have a lot of stories in that book that people don't know. The people I've met, the people I've influenced through some of my records or my style. It's good to let it out there and let everybody know. The book comes right to the point. It's like me talking in that book. I'm talking about all the famous acts, and they were all wonderful people. My wife and friends in Connecticut were pushing me. "You gotta write a book. You got so many good stories to tell." A lot of people in this business, people that you've interviewed, Rock and Roll acts, don't even have the stories I have 'cause they don't meet those people or work with anybody like that, and I did. So, it worked out perfectly.
- Let me read what a couple of guys wrote about you.
- This is from Brown and Friedrich's
Encyclopedia Of Rock And Roll
: "Freddy rates high as one of the teenage idols who was manufactured and perpetuated by the proper amount of publicity and exposure. Freddy showed a surprising amount of staying power as an artist, thanks mainly to the heavy dance beat of his hits and his dark, good looks. Lord knows it couldn't have been his voice or his heavy Boston accent." What do you have to say about that?
- (laughs) I never thought I should be a teenage idol. I never wanted to be a teenage idol. I'm a Rock 'n' Roll act. "Tallahassee Lassie" is a Rock 'n' Roll record. It's not a teenage idol record. Teenage idols are Frankie Avalon, Fabian (Bobby) Rydell. People like that. The Bobby Vees. I'm not any of those. I'm a Rock 'n' Roll act. And you can judge me by the records. As far as the voice goes, I do agree. I don't have a great voice, but I'll tell you something right now, I'll rock with the best out there, 'live' onstage. If they want to come and see me, they'll find out how good I am onstage. But I don't want to be a teenage idol. I never did. I don't know why I was classified in there. Because of my good looks? It didn't matter to me about good looks. What mattered to me was to sing real raw Rock 'n' Roll records. "Tallahassee Lassie". I keep using that record because to me, that's my favorite record and it's the best record. Not "Palisades Park". Not "Way Down Yonder In New Orleans". The second record I would say would judge me is "Buzz Buzz A-Diddle". It's another Rock record. It didn't go as high on the charts, but that's Freddy Cannon. That's who I want to be and that's who I am.
- "Action" was pretty rockin' too, wasn't it?
- Yeah, that's pretty rockin'. Why would The Rolling Stones cover "Tallahassee Lassie" if they didn't think it was a raw record? What am I doing with these teenage idols? I don't want to be with those people! I want to get the record straight. That's why it's in the book. I don't want to be the Frankies, the Bobbys, the Johnnies and all those type of people. I'm not in that class. They sing pretty records. They sing light records. I mean, that's their style. My style is a Rock record. I'm doing Rock 'n' Roll records. They can dance to my records. That's to me what it is. I don't know what else to tell you.
- And when I saw you in 1978, who did they put you on the bill with? Bobby Rydell, along with Del Shannon and The Marvelettes.
- Well, Del Shannon belongs with what I do. Del was a Rock 'n' Roll act also, like me. He was not a Bubblegum act. He was not a teenage idol act. It's Bobby Rydell, Frankie Avalon, Fabian, Bobby Vee, Johnny Tillotson. You go down the line. I can name you thousands of them. Those are the people who should be separated from me, and even Del Shannon. Poor Del is gone. I'm speaking for him. Him and I should have been on the show and maybe one or two other acts. Bobby Rydell wants to be like Frank Sinatra. He wants to be pretty. That's not me. That's not us. I'd love the whole world to hear what I have to say. I'm sure some of the fans who liked me don't think that way. They think, "yeah, he was a teenage idol. He played with all those other acts, the Avalons and all those other people." I was thrown into that. What else could I do? Look at the back of my book. Chuck Berry says I'm an original Rock 'n' Roll act. I'm not Bubblegum. I'm not any of that other junk. I was tossed in there because of the record I made. I was singing songs that Frank Slay and Bob Crew were giving me that were light. To me, a lot of those records I made were too slick. They were done too well, too nice. That made me into the teenage idol. I wanted to keep cutting records like "Tallahassee Lassie". If I could've cut a string of records like that, that's a Rolling Stones' record. That's why they cut it. (Note: Mick Jagger said, "Freddy Cannon inspired Brown Sugar").
- You and your mother wrote "Tallahassee Lassie", correct?
- Yup, yup.
- So, in order to capitalize on the success of that song, you and your mother would have had to write another song that was just as good, and that didn't happen, did it?
- No. They wouldn't let me do anything else. I would submit songs to Swan Records and Slay and Crewe, and they would say "No, we already have a song for you." You see, I was trapped into that thing. I could never bring a song to anybody in there because nobody wanted to hear it and nobody would let me do it. They didn't believe I could do that. So, I brought "Tallahassee Lassie", the melody and the song to them in the very beginning. They didn't think I had anything else. So, we never had a chance to prove what we could do, to be honest with you. That's why.
- One of the more interesting things that was brought up in your autobiography was your business team. You didn't even have a manager, did you?
- No. No manager. I had nobody. All those acts that we just mentioned, when they went to get started in this business, the label put up the money so they could cut five, six, seven, eight songs before they had a hit. I would say 99% of the acts had that kind of chance. Not with me. I had one chance. "Tallahassee Lassie". If that didn't make it, I was done. You wouldn't have heard of Freddy Cannon. I only got one chance. No one else put money behind me to push me and cut another record if that failed. Everybody I knew from that era had two, three, four, five, six, ten chances to keep cuttin' records 'til they had a hit. I want people who read this to know that. I'm honest about what I'm saying. I'm not making things up here. I wanted to be a Rock act and that's what I want to be remembered by. Not Bubblegum, teen idol, or any of those other things. I'm not that. I don't want to be that. In England they know I'm a Rock 'n' Roll act. I'm a real Rock act. Maybe over here they don't know that, but over there they do. I had one chance. I took the chance. I got lucky and I was happy that the song was good enough, but after that, everything was handed over to Bob Crewe and Frank Slay and Bernie Binnick at Swan Records and they took control of Freddy Cannon from then on, so I didn't have anything else to say. Not to say that it was bad. I cut a lot of records and there were a lot of hits, but I wanted to sing some more of my own songs that I had. I had maybe five or six other songs at that time to present to them, but they wouldn't even listen to them.
- Could you cut them now?
- No, because they're dated. I don't want to do something I've written fifty years ago. I have to write more new sounding material. I'm gonna start writing more now. That's what I'm gonna do.
- You were on those Dick Clark bus tours, weren't you?
- Yeah.
- Were you playing to segregated audiences in the South?
- I did, yeah.
- Who was on the bill with you back then?
- The Drifters, Bobby Blue Bland, The Coasters, the original Coasters, The Shirelles. A lot of those groups on the bus couldn't get off the bus to go into a restaurant and eat. There were maybe three or four Black acts on the bus. We'd ask them what they wanted, go into the restaurant, buy it, bring it back to the bus so they could eat 'cause they wouldn't let them in the restaurant. That happened many times on the tour. We'd be doing forty-one, one-nighters. And even when we checked into the hotel, the road manager would have to go in and make sure that they could be checked into the same hotel. We all wanted to stay together. He had to go to the front desk of the hotel when we pulled up with the bus, to make sure that the Black acts could go in there. It was sad to see this going on. It was crazy. We're all one big family. Why did we have to be separated like that? That's what I thought.
- You cheated death in 1960! You could've been riding in the car with Eddie Cochran.
- Right.
- You have something in common with the late Waylon Jennings. He could have been on the plane with Ritchie Valens and Buddy Holly.
- Right. Same thing. Same idea. I did a ten day tour with Eddie Cochran and Gene Vincent in England in 1960. It was a short tour. We went to London. We went to Scotland. All different cities throughout England and then went to Scotland. My Dad was with me. He became friends with Eddie Cochran. He's a giant to this day. People love Eddie Cochran. This guy was the nicest many anyone would want to meet. He was a gem. He was very talented. He could play the guitar very well. He was really good. We stayed in the Strathford Court Hotel (in London). That's where we were. Eddie Cochran got up early with Gene Vincent. They were gonna go to the airport with Sharon Sheeley. They were in the taxi, but he called us in 'cause he loved my Dad and myself. He said to my father, "Fred, is Freddy ready to go to the airport? We've got a cab downstairs." My father said "No. You go ahead. We're still packin'. We'll meet you at the airport. We'll be there shortly after you." Well, they took off and you know what happened after that. I could've been there. My Dad could've been with me. We don't know if we would've died. Gene Vincent hurt his leg, but he (Eddie Cochran) died. We were so sad. We got to the airport and it was on the radio in the taxi. They announced that he died. It was crazy. But that's the way that happened. Things happen in this world and all the good people, talented Rock 'n' Roll acts, go by the wayside and he was one of them.
- Was it sad for you to have to recount the stories of the people who are no longer with us?
- I met them all. They were so nice. Whoever I met that's gone, always made me feel ten feet high. All those acts. They're all missed. And I miss them because I knew them. I talked to them. It's sad, from Elvis Presley to Bobby Darin. You could go down the line of all those people. They were all terrific people. If anybody wants to say something bad about them, go ahead and say it. I think everybody I met that's gone that's in my book were great guys, great women. They were all nice to me. That's all I needed to see. The first impression was that.
- There were two people in book who you didn't particularly care for, Dionne Warwick and Cher.
- Yup. Dionne Warwick was something, I'll tell you. To this day, everybody says the same thing. When I talk to other interviewers, they've said they've interviewed her before and she still is like the way I described it. So, I don't need to get into her. I don't even want to talk about her. Cher, maybe, because she was too young of a kid. But I met her when she was Cleo with Sonny when they first started. She acted like she was already a giant star. I had hit records. I had "Palisades Park", "Way Down Yonder", "Tallahassee Lassie". I was doing a record hop and they were backstage. She came on like she was already a hit. She had nothing yet. She was doing record hops for the local radio station here in Los Angeles, where I was. I was on a promotion tour. So that left an impression on me. Maybe 'cause she was young. She must've been what, eighteen years old? Seventeen years old at that time?
- Something like that.
- That could be why. We all get that from superstardom. You see stars in your eyes and your head gets big. I know there are greats above me. I know that. People who led the way in this music, this Rock 'n' Roll music. Jerry Lee Lewis is a terrific guy. Every time I've worked with Jerry Lee, we'll sit in the trailer of his dressing room and he wants to talk to me. There's guys that are so nice. You won't believe how good they are. And friendly.
- It seems if you want to make it in the music business, you audition for
American Idol
. What do you think the judges would say about Freddy Cannon?
- They would count me out and send me home. They wouldn't like me.
- They believe that a singer has to have this absolutely perfect voice.
- Right.
- But, how many people in Rock 'n' Roll have this perfect voice they're looking for? It doesn't exist.
- Right. It doesn't exist. And you know what? The whole key to this whole thing comes down to this; why did I make it? Why do acts with hit records make it? Because they wrote and have an original song. None of those
American Idol
people they're looking for have a song. After they became the American Idol, someone has to give them a song, unless they write. And most of 'em don't even write songs. That's the key. The key is the song. Not how great you can sing. So to me it's a big joke. I watch
American Idol
and I see what they do. I hear what they're saying about this guy's voice and that girl. Wow! She knocked me out. She's got a Bluesy voice. She's this. She's that. Who cares? If you don't have a song, you'll never hear from that person again anyway. How many people do we hear from
American Idol
that have big hits so far? Carrie Underwood.
- She's one.
- I can count maybe on one hand. I don't even know the other one. I'm trying to remember. There's another girl too. Kelly Clarkson. How many guys though? Nobody I don't think. Who had giant hits that you can hear people talk about? I don't see anybody talkin' about anybody. Do you?
- I do not.
- If you don't have the song, nobody cares anymore. The girls can scream. The guys can yell. And all of this stuff doesn't matter. What matters is, you better write a good song. You better have a great song. If you don't, I don't care how good you sing. It means nothing. It means absolutely nothing. The song comes first. That's the whole key to the whole Rock 'n' Roll business. So all the people that have made it, all had good songs or somebody gave them a good song or they wrote the song themselves. That's it. Most of the big acts of today write their own stuff. And they write some good songs. That's why I keep writing. It doesn't matter how old I am or how long I've been in this business. Writing is very important in this business. Not how good you can sing. Yes, you need to be able to sing the songs after you write them, but you better have a great songs. People aren't going to pay attention if you don't.
- Where do you draw inspiration from to write songs? Something you see on TV? Something you read in the newspaper?
- Well, the song I just wrote, "Covered By The Rolling Stones", that was because they covered "Tallahassee Lassie". It took me two hours to write. See, you need an idea. The idea came from them. The minute I heard (that), I got my guitar and wrote the words down. I was getting excited as I was doing it. Words were spitting out of me. I mentioned Mick Jagger and Keith Richards in the song. I compliment them because it's a big band and for them to do that, it made me feel so big. Here, I influenced The Rolling Stones. That's crazy. I never thought that would happen. They got the idea of "Brown Sugar" from "Tallahassee Lassie". So that's why this all happened.
- Go back to 1963. Did you ever hear any talk in the offices of Swan Records about The Beatles? They were trying to push their records.
- I think they were trying to push "She Loves You", but they couldn't get it off the ground. They were so small they didn't know where to go with it. They brought it to Dick Clark and
American Bandstand
, but he turned it down. He wouldn't play it. So, I don't know what happened on that thing. They sold that master because they owned that master of "She Loves You". They sold it back to Capitol Records for $100,000, thinking that's fine. That's nice money. That's a lot of money. Little did they know, it was probably worth two or three million dollars in the long run. The record was a giant. They didn't know that. All I know is they had it and tried to get it going.
- You say that Frank Barsalona booked The Beatles into Carnegie Hall. I always thought General Artists Corp. booked The Beatles.
- G.A.C. Yeah. He worked for G.A.C.
- Before starting Premier Talent?
- Right. G.A.C. probably booked them and he was friends with the big cheeses at G.A.C. that invited him to be there. And then he invited me to come backstage. He was with G.A.C before Premier, so the connection was there. Frank was a great guy. He was a wonderful man. He was the back bone for Freddy. Always pushin' the heck out of me. So we just became good friends.
- You own the masters to your recordings. So, where is the marketplace for your material in 2012?
- I do a lot of business with my masters in England, in Europe. There's always someone who wants to put a compilation album of my songs, with my songs and other songs on an album. So, I do a lot of record deals overseas. Sometimes over here. I did an album on Shout Records, that used to be Rhino Records, has an album on me. All the albums you see on Freddy Cannon usually are coming from me. I own every master that I ever made. All the Swan Records, all the Warner Brothers Records and even the small labels I was on. I got all the masters. It's been very good for me to have that. I learned a lot by having them. We had a song in Chuck Barris' movie
Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind
. "Palisades Park" was in that one. I did very well financially by having these songs in movies, on these other records, over the years. So, I've been very lucky that way.
- Very few people own the masters to their recordings. Dave Clark does. Paul McCartney does.
- You're right. There's probably five or six people. Big labels bought everything up and own them. I am fortunate.
- You are not a member of the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in Cleveland, are you?
- No, I'm not.
- So, what difference would it make to you if you were? You had hit records. You've done what you wanted to do. Would that be a big deal to you?
- I'd love it. I don't even think about it anymore. I got so tired of all the politics involved. The reason I'm not in there is I've been put in the category of Teenage Idols, Bubblegum and all that stuff. That's why you don't see any of those people in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, and I'm classified as one of them. I feel that I should be in there. I'm a Rock 'n' Roll act. I just proved it with the book and all the giant acts that said things about me, that I influenced. Why shouldn't I be there? But it's politics and I probably won't ever see it. Who knows?
- What do you mean by politics?
- I think it's got to do with the sound. You'll notice most of the acts, a good portion of them are from England. The English acts. The European acts. They're all Heavy Metal or Hard Rock or really heavy dance acts. I've got a gut feeling that's it, because for me, I'm classified in, which I never wanted to be in and it's been embedded in everybody's head, that I'm a Teenage Idol act. That's destroying everything. That destroyed it right there. It really did. Del Shannon died and then they put him in there. Del should've been in there while he was alive, not when he was dead. I just think the committee that does all that, and there's a couple of people who run the whole thing, they only put the heavy rockers in there. Freddy Cannon is not a heavy rocker.
- Maybe your time is right around the corner. You never know.
- Different acts from the era are trying to get petitions of thousands and thousands of people to send in. That doesn't do any good. That doesn't do anything. You're already classified as this kind of act. If you're classified as that kind of act, you're never gonna get in. Believe me. I don't care what you do, up and down. You can try all you want. It won't happen. The only thing that makes me feel like I should, is right now, in 2012, here's this book (Freddy's autobiography) telling you that these giant acts have been influenced through my songs, through my me, whatever. So why shouldn't I be in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame? C'mon. How blind can you be? Before, I had no hope. If anything was gonna happen, it would happen now. Read the book and see what's going on. See where I'm at in music today. I don't care about all the hit records I had before. Go by what kind of act I am. What style did I have. Am I a Rock act or am I a Teenage Idol, Bubblegum act? I don't think I'm any of those.
- Where is the action for Freddy Cannon today?
- (laughs)
- Where do you perform? Do you still perform?
- Yeah, I still perform. Most of my shows are on the East Coast, Mid-West. Not too much in Los Angeles, although I would love that. If this song that I just put out gets on a label and happens, it's gonna give me more work out here and I can use my son's band, which I think is really an excellent band. That would make me be very happy, to work with them all around California and out in the West. So, we'll see. I appreciate you and thank you so much for letting me say this today. Sometimes I don't get a chance to spit everything out like this. I want to be real honest with you and the readers so they know what Freddy Cannon is all about.

Hostels in Milos
Milos Studios
A great place to stay in Milos is Halara Studies. They are apartments in the village of Plaka, which is the most charming village on the island and are on top of one of the hills of the village. It exudes a quiet impressive, although it is true that if there is no car it is not too practical for a place to stay. Especially noteworthy are the views of the bay of Milos.
Hotels in Oía
Chelidonia Villas hotel
Curiously, a tourist site as crowded as Santorini can adhere so strongly in one's memory. Yet it is hard to shake the sense of wonder you have to contemplate the sea from the top of the volcano caldera. And it's almost impossible not to feel wonder at the photos - really, was I there? We were lucky to stay in these wonderful caves dug into the hillside itself the Santorini caldera. The caves were a charm, but the views from the terrace were breath taking.
Hotels in Rafina
Attica Beach Hotel
This accommodation on Attica Beach is 30km from Athens. It is a great establishment located just 4 kilometers from the second biggest port after Athens, Rafina. We decided to stay here, precisely because of its proximity to the port and because we left the next day at 7am from there to head to Mykonos. The truth is that we expected very little from the hotel and they were wonderful with us. We picked up our ferry tickets and they arranged taxis from the airport and the port they gave us breakfast long before the restaurant was open. I do not know if I would return here because Rafina does not have, in my opinion, t much to see. But you can surely trust the hotel staff.
Hotels in Athens
Plaka Hotel
This hotel is in the center of Athens in the Plaka neighborhood. Besides being in downtown, it is very economical. Watch out though, as it's always full in the high season. It also has a roof top terrace with spectacular views of the Parthenon. Don't hesitate to stay there...it's a no frills place, but the quality and service are very good.
Hotels in Athens
Hotel Grande Bretagne, a Luxury Collection Hotel
The Grande Bretagne is a luxurious old-fashioned hotel. It is a five-star hotel in Athens, located in the city center, just a kilometer from famous monuments like the Parthenon, the Royal Palace and the Natural History Museum. The hotel offers two pools, a gym with personal trainers, hairdressers, a spa and a business center. It has multilingual staff, free parking and high speed internet. It has several restaurants such as the Roof Garden, where you can enjoy Mediterranean cuisine with views of the Acropolis, a conservatory which offers international cuisine, and the Corner, with Mediterranean cuisine in a formal and sophisticated. It hosts 321 rooms that are divided into different types and suites, some with a 24 hour butler service, and they are all exquisitely decorated with antiques. The rooms also offer views of the surrounding historical monuments. The Queen of Spain even stayed there on her recent visit to Athens, and no European celebrity who visiting Athens has not stayed here.
Hostels in Folegandros
As you can see, it's [poi = 79606] impossible [/ poi] to improve the location of the Castro Hotel. It can be found within the city Kastro called [poi = 78346] Folegandros [/ poi]. The views of the Church of Panagia and the cliff that overlooks the city which you'll have from the terrace and from the rooms are amazing. The hotel has only a few rooms and the atmosphere is very cozy, which is really nice. The rooms maybe sound a little small, but it's certainly more than enough. When you're traveling with heavy luggage, I recommend a room on a ground floor because the stairway leading up to the top is pretty narrow. I recommend especially the upper room, which has a private terrace with stunning views.
Hotels in Sifnos
Kamarotí Sifnos Suites hotel
This hotel was built by a Spanish architect on the beautiful Greek island of Sifnos. It is an example of absolute respect for the surrounding area. Its architecture blends with the environment, creating a haven of peace and tranquility which is perfect for enjoying a holiday with friends or the family. All of the rooms have a small terrace or private garden offering sea views. In the common area, next to the cafeteria, there is a fantastic swimming pool, a playground and a swimming lane of 25 m! The service is great (it was opened on 1st July 2011). They are the same owners of the hotel which is managed in situ. I fell in love with the island of Sinfos for several years .. it is the most authentic of all, I feel like I have spent years there, with its narrow streets, its taverns on the beach / cove and its wonderful people . The traditional cuisine is also delicious, Tselementés, Greek chef considered a precursor of modern Greek food, was born there! I leave you with the website: http://www.kamaroti.com
Apartments in Oía
Aris Caves
It is a small hotel, with different rooms that look like caves. The location in the village of Oia is perfect, right at the entrance to the pedestrian area. The hotel is at the edge of the cliff with views of the caldera, and the nights, sunrises and views of the bay and the islands in it are beautiful. Especially recommend for the hospitality of the owners, always friendly and willing to help. The comfort of the facilities along with the great reception shown to us makes this hotel one of our favorite ones we´ve stayed at thusfar.
Hotels in Athens
Hilton Atenas Hotel
This hotel's terrace is simply spectacular. A view over all of Athens accompanied by cocktails and scary music. A must.
Campsites in Paros
Surfing Beach Campsite
The Surfing Beach is a campground on the Greek island of Paros. I arrived by inter-rail through Greece and Italy, on a ferry from Athens. We stopped at the island without really knowing what it had and really tired from the whole trip, and sleeping there was the best choice we could have made! It was Next to the beach, the facilities are pretty good, and it has a pool with bar inside, almost like we were in Punta Cana campsites . It was a surprise!
Hotels in Malia
Kalimerakriti Hotel
KalimeraKriti Hotel is more than 40 km from Iraklion in the eastern part of the Island. Sissi is a small fishing port where you can try some of the local and fresh fish. The hotel is 5-star and I recommend the Bungalows as they are spacious and quiet. Excellent food and wonderful customer service. It's a great place to rest. Best to rent a car so you can explore the island.
Hotels in Athens
Phaedra Hotel
I have no photo of the inside of the hotel, only from the balcony we had. It's a simple place, more of a hostel than a hotel, but it is brilliantly located in the middle of Plaka, close enough to walk to everything and the price is very cheap compared to the absurd prices at some hotel, most of which don't look like anything special from the outside. It was very clean and Manolathos, the owner, was nice and charming. We were treated great and when we returned from the Greek islands, we had a whole day free and they let us store our bags there and explore Athens. Our room had a large bathroom with no shower curtain, which I guess is common in Greece. The balcony was great. We had breakfast there, overlooking the Acropolis and a synagogue. At night, you could see people going to Mass and we fell asleep to the songs. I recommend it if you're looking for a simple, well-located, and clean hotel with and friendly service.
Hostels in Thira
Villa Agas
Today I want to talk about this hotel in Santorini. It's simple, but it has everything you need. It's kind of a pink villa, and is divided into two buildings. The rooms have a terrace on the ground level, meaning you can move to the neighboring terraces, and courtyard, surrounded by vineyards, overlooking the sea, with air conditioning, refrigerator, and they are quite spacious. It is clean, although the bathroom is pretty old, and of course there are no curtains. We bought food and we kept it in the fridge and in the little terrace we had breakfast. Nicolino, the son of the owner is very friendly and gives you what you need, he took us to the ferry for free and let us leave the room an hour later. It was very, very familiar, all employees are part of the family, father, mother, brothers, etc ... And most hotels around share the pool. The pool is very nice, is large and comfortable, and is 500 meters from the house, near the other houses that are also hotels. We could say it is a kind of hostel, no frills, and the best thing is the price. For 7 nights we paid 120 euros for the double room. Ah! And another thing to consider is the location, not right in the center of Fira, where prices are exorbitant, but it is very close, in Karterados which is only a 10 minute walk and in a very quiet area. Not worth it?
Hotels in Heraklion
Korifi Suites Hotel
If somebody is planning to go on holiday to Crete I recommend staying in this hotel which is made up of small houses with a view of the coast. It is in Piskopiano, about 25 km from Heraklion. Piskopiano is a village of Greece, surrounded by a mountain. It transmits peace of mind both daytime and nighttime. Piskopiano is a perfect place to have a nice dinner with the best Mediterranean food. Also you can have a drink, for those who want to party, Hersonissos is the place to go, it is 2 km from Piskopiano. The bad thing is that it is crowded, especially with Dutch, go to drink alcohol. The Best is hotel's relaxed enironment, the terraces of the houses full of flowers, ahh and there was a kitchen ... There was a day we made tortillas, we picked olives, and had a martini . The Worse part was the treatment of the head of everything. When we arrived to the hotel we were told that there was no party and here is where people relaxed..... But the stupid to have believed that. Anyway, we were there 5 days and gave no cause for complaint to the boss. The best thing was every night, we ate dinner on the terrace as the nights were breathtaking ... After dinner we had a few drinks, chatting and with no fuss. The price at that time was between 45 and 50 and night. To say that the place is a good place to go with friends ...
Hotels in Folegandros
Anemomilos Apartments
This is undoubtedly the most spectacular hotel on the island of [poi = 78346] Folegandros [/ poi]. The Anemomilos Apartments would not be out of place if they were transported stone by stone to Santorini. The views from the rooms are amazing, as they are also from the terrace, which is one of the most charming places in Folegandros. You can have a drink while watching the sunset and it's attractive enough to stay at this hotel. Accommodation here is extremely popular and you usually need to book well in advance to get a room in high season.
Hotels in Thessaloniki
Hotel El Greco
Undoubtedly one of the best options out of the variety of hotels on Egnatia Street, making a qualitative leap compared to most of them. There were 4 of us and we had 2 double rooms connected by a hall so that by closing the hall door, they were joined forming a kind of apartment. One room had a balcony overlooking the Via Egnatia. Two bedrooms, parking and breakfast cost us 105 euros in March 2011. The parking was great, although we did not see it. You left the car outside the hotel and the bellman put it on an elevator that disappeared into the lower floors. We went back to pick it up on the street. Breakfast was fine. The location is quite good and you can walk to the major sights of the old city.
Hotels in Kókkinon Khoríon
Galini Hotel
This is a beautiful spot overlooking the beauty of the boiler, on the island of Santorini, with its amazing and stunning landscape. It's really spectacular! A definite stop if you're touring the Greek islands! They have lovely clean rooms, most with balconies and fabulous views. Also, there is a small cafe on the roof with wonderful sea views and sunsets, which is where I took the photo. The food is excellent and we were very impressed with the staff. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to stay in a small hotel with excellent amenities, easily accessible to buses or taxis, and wanting to explore more of this beautiful island of Santorini.
Resorts in Athens
Arion Resort & Spa, Astir Palace Beach Athens
If you visit Athens in summer, don't spend more than 1 or 2 nights in the center of Athens and spend a night on the beach: Hotel Electra is in the Plaka neighborhood in downtown. From there you can walk to the Acropolis in only 10 minutes. It's important to get up early and see the Acropolis in the early hours of the morning when there isn't a line or a lot of people. A good time to go is 7:30 / 8:00 in the morning, but not much later. Once you've seen the Acropolis, take the little tourist train that is on the street. You can catch it right there at the exit of the Acropolis and it takes you back 1 hour through the city. It makes two stops and drops you off at same place it picked you up. The ideal is to ask around for lunch or stop in Plaka for lunch in one of the thousands of restaurants located there. You have to visit the New Museum (at the Acropolis). Again, if you can, it is ideal to go early. At 09:30 there are no lines and no crowds. This museum is really beautiful, not only for their priceless pieces but also for the architecture and the way some parts are exposed. Here's my recommendation: If you only have one day left, do not stay more nights in Athens. There is a hotel on the coast, 30 minutes from downtown by taxi, which is perfectly affordable and where spend a day and a night for 320 €. You can spend the day at the hotel, at the pool with Balinese beds and run right out and jump into the sea. You can also eat there. At dusk, get a taxi in the hotel to take you to see the sunset at the Temple of Poseidon (45min.).
Hotels in Kos
Kosta Palace Hotel
The Kosta Palace is located in the beautiful city of Kos. It has clean, spacious rooms, all equipped with a minibar, and a terrace on which you can relax. You can enjoy beautiful scenery from the terrace of the coasts of neighbourhing Turkey. There are two pools, one for adults, and the other for children. It has a well-stocked bar, the staff are friendly and professional, and the price is very low. Suitable for the whole family!
Hotels in Mikonos
Hermes Mykonos Hotel
The Hermes hotel is run by a family who makes you feel at home. They helped us make reservations and talked with a rental car company to bring the car to our hotel, where we made all the arrangements and paid. They also came to get us at the port of Mykonos, as taxis are hard to find. It has a gas station nearby, which is very convenient because usually everyone rents cars or quads. It's so close to town that you can walk (about ten minutes), but it's slightly uphill, which means you can enjoy great views, especially from the pool. The rooms are simply furnished, but comfy and nice, and have a private balcony. The buffet breakfast is very good. It is a 4 star hotel that is raising their rates because of the fame it's getting, but it's still affordable. If I visit Mykonos again, I think I would stay here.

First, you must upgrade your membership to a Premier Plus Apple membership so that the new uKnowKids for Apple features are included with your uKnowKids membership.
If you need help with that, please let us know via the uKnowKids Customer Support Portal.
Apple iCloud enables uKnowKids to monitor iMessages, SMS text messages, and MMS text messages sent, received and deleted; phone calls made, received and missed; iOS contacts; installed mobile applications; and photos / videos shared via iMessage. Apple iCloud is crucial to uKnowKids' support of Apple mobile devices. You will need your child's Apple iCloud login credentials, and Apple's iCloud Backup must be enabled on the child's Apple device.
The uKnowMobile app for Apple iOS provides uKnowKids with device location and photos taken with the iOS device. The uKnowMobile app for iOS is a complementary application that supports your Apple iCloud connection. You will need to install the uKnowMobile app for Apple iOS on your child's Apple iOS device via the Apple App Store.
The most important component of uKnowKids for Apple is our connection to your child's Apple iCloud account and the presence of an up-to-date iCloud backup for your child's device.
The uKnowMobile app may take a very long time to "sync" with uKnowKids for the first time. This is because it is primarily focused on uploading your child's photos during the first day or so. With many kids having multiple gigabytes of photos on their mobile phones, this uploading process can take a very long time during the first sync. In order to speed up the process, please make sure the device is connected to a WiFi Internet connection and a power source. This will ensure that the process is as efficient as possible and is not interrupted.
Please note that if your uKnowMobile app is "syncing", this has no effect on whether or not uKnowKids has up to date data regarding iMessages, SMS text messages, and MMS text messages, phone calls, iOS contacts; installed mobile applications; and photos / videos shared via iMessage. All of this data is acquired via your child's iCloud backup, not the uKnowMobile application.

The Human Body contains several different elements: Blood, Phlegm, Yellow Bile, and Black Bile. If all of these substances are in an equilibrium, your in good health.
If one of these you are lacking in, or have an excess of your health or mental state is not good.
Blood=Cherry Disposition
Yellow Bile- Hot/Dry=Angry/Chloric Temper
Black Bile-Cold/Dry=Dark/Brooding Character
These characters with mental illnesses were viewed as having "divided" or having a "split mind" , or an excess of emotion ( 3)
Madness can be seen in two characters specifically, Ophelia ( representing Female Madness), and Hamlet ( representing feigned or false madness)
Hints of Oedipus Complex with Hamlet towards his mother Gertrude.
Hamlet struggles with two things that drive him through his Melancholic state
1.) Is the Ghost speaking the truth
2.) Did Claudius truly commit the crime of killing the former King of Denmark ?
Themes and Motifs of Madness
" The literary language of madness drawn from Classical drama came to the English stage through Old French and the literature of fools. ( The Word "Mad" comes from an Old Saxon root, meaning 'cut or damaged'.)
Shakespeare's Madness within Hamlet and King Lear
Themes and Motifs about Madness
Subject Of Madness in Hamlet
Subject of Madness in King Lear
Similar Elements in Plays
Differences in Plays
Humoural Language
Feigned Madness?? ( Madness that is Pretended or Assumed)
The scene where Hamlet projects the most Madness is Act 1, Scene 5, when he meets his fathers ghost.
Although, Hamlet best portrays the Melancholic character. Melancholic characters are portrayed in a depressive state. With the death of his father, and his mother remarriage, to his uncle, and then seeing the ghost all help the cause of his Melancholic chaos. Melancholic is classified as Depression. It can be the start of a Madness state , but not truly insane. Melancholic individuals can also have states of hallucinating within a disturbed state.
Polonius Questions Hamlet's Madness In Act two, Scene two "I will be brief: your noble son is mad. Mad call I it, for, to define true madness,What is 't but to be nothing else but mad? But let that go.It is never explicitly implied that Hamlet is Mad, we can gather that he is in a stage of Melancholic, but doesn't cross lines to insanity.
In Act 3, Scene 1 We are told that Hamlet isn't Mad " Nor what he spake, though it lack form a little. Was not like Madness"
Ophelia is the common portrayal of a mad women in Shakespeare's Plays.
In madness, women find they are able to stake their claim to discourse Ophelia achieves a kind of feminine power, but also at the cost of madness. Ophelia's madness is seen in the play as sexual frustration and the social control that she is subjected to because she is a women. This condition is also known as "Hysteria" (52)
We can note Ophelia's madness within two elements
1.) The Language she uses
2.) Her Physical appearance
Ophelia throughout the play is a contained characters.
She is contained with her mind in expression, and her body both sexually and physically.
The Body and the Mind are two major elements in Madness.
Physical Appearance
Her Language
Ophelia's Suicide
Her Clothes spread wide and Mermaidlike a while they bore her up, which time she chanted snatches of old lauds, As one incapable of her own distress, Or like a creature native and induced Unto that Element But long it could not be Till that her garments, heavy their drink, Pulled the poor wretch from her melodious lay To muddy death ( Scene 4, Scene 7
Opehlias' suicide can be seen as involuntary act, because the madness drove her to death.
History Fact: In England in the time Period of
Hamlet, the most common type of Suicide at the time was Drowning (55) Madness would allow Ophelia to be innocent and suicide was forgivable.
" Through a series of contrasts, the plays( Hamlet and King Lear), displays the sorts of distinctions between men and women, body and mind, natural and supernatural, distraction and feigned madness that were being demanded at other cultural sites. (46)
( Act 4, Scene 5) When Ophelia madness is visualized by others, Claudius says:" Poor Ophelia Divided from herself and her fair judgment "
Ophelia's also uses the flowers she gives to people of the court to symbolize different meanings.
They're several different kinds of Madness in Hamlet. The main three are:
- Female Madness
- Feigned Madness
- Melancholy
King Lear (1605)
King Lear also deals with three different elements of Madness including:
- Feigned demonic Possession
- Natural Madness
- Guilt-caused Despair
Her Speech is nothing, Yet the unshaped use of it doth move The hearers to collection; they yawn at it, And botch the words up fit to their own thoughts, Which would make one think there might be thought , Though nothing sure, yet much unhappily ( Act 4, Scene 5)
Ophelia's character language is the key in how we associate with knowing her madness. She is never portrayed as having any of the humoural language, or any supernatural afflictions. (52)
Gertrude Speaks of Ophelia's Death as Poetically Tragic:
Do you think that Ophelia's Death was accidental or suicidal? Can you think of any Examples.
Lear from natural madness
Lear Gradually loses control, his kingdom, soldiers, children his house, clothing that represents his authority ( cause of madness multiple lines )
In Act 1, Scene 1, Kent retorts to Lear saying " Do, kill thy physician, and the fee bestow Upon thy foul disease. Revoke thy gift,Or whilst I can vent clamor from my throat, I'll tell thee thou dost evil." Both the mention of a medical doctor, and patient persona contribute to the theory of Lear's Madness.
Lear's Language is also essential to his madness. Goneril and Regan speak of Lear's Outbursts " 'Tis the infirmity of his age. Yet he hath ever but slenderly known himself.." She continues " Such unconstant starts are we like to have from him as this of Kent's banishment." ( Act 1, Scene 1)
Lear's Madness Continued
ear's madness is slow and progressive throughout the play.
We first see the play portray his Madness in Act 3, Scene 1 when Kent asks the gentlemen who is out in the storm he replies with, " One minded like the weather, most unquietly." This explanations says that Lear's mind is clearly not in the right. Kent's speech to justify his madness behavior concludes with "Some that will thank you, making just report Of how unnatural and bemadding sorrow The king hath cause to plain. I am a gentleman of blood and breeding, And from some knowledge and assurance offer This office to you."
During the Moch trial Scene Kent acknowledges Lear's behavior and says " O pity! Sir, where is he patience now,That thou so oft have boasted to retain?" ( Act 3, Scene 6). Kent speaks of the Kings lack of Self-control for his logical reasoning.
Throughout the Play, people are constantly telling Lear he is mad. King Lear's loved one and friends are perpetuating his madness by telling he's mad. When you are at a low point you lose your sense of reality and believe what people say. You have lost your sense of self.
Like Hamlet, Edgar's
supernatural possession is
feigned, as his disguise of "Poor Tom"
- We see Edgar's feigned representation of Demonic Possession , ( Act 3, Scene 4) " Away! The foul fiend follows me!" ( Foul Fiend Symbolizing the Devil. He is hiding his true identity to escape capture from his brother Edmund and higher authorities. Therefore he uses the language and appearance of a madman." Carol Neely explains " His role also functions dramatically to trigger, mark, and counterpoint the specific moment of Lear's own break with sanity, which occurs decisively at his emotionally apt but logically groundless identification with Poor Tom" ( Act 3, Scene four)
1.)Physiological- administrated BY DOCTOR ( Medicine)
2.) PSYCHOLOGICAL - LAYPERSON ( Therapeutic)
Spiritual Guides
Lear portrays what happens when the body and mind deteriorate so does the spirit of the Soul.
Ophelia Mirrors Lear in portraying actually Madness, Edgar Mirrors Hamlet by portraying Feigned "fake" Madness
In the Play Edgar and Hamlets inner thoughts are portrayed
because they are able to see logical reason. In contrast to
Ophelia's and Lear's speeches are spoken out of Madness.
Ophelia and Lear's image shadows are translucent, they have no feelings, it can represent the person going into madness , or the shadow can represent the true self of not being " mad" and being free.
In both plays when someone is thought to commit suicide or die they are asked to follow, this happens with both Ophelia and Gonreil. Ophelia's Death was forgiven because it was out of "Madness", where as Goneriel and Regans was spoken of by Albany in Act 5, Scene 3 "Produce their bodies, be they alive or dead. This judgment of the heavens that makes us tremble Touches us not with pity. "
In both plays the mind, the body, and spirit are one. When madness overrides the mind, body, spirit you are left with nothing. You can't function on nothing. "Nothing ", is a concept seen in both King Lear and Hamlet, through Lear's and Opehlia's nonsense speeches.
Madness is accepted in the community of this time, which is seen in both plays.
Both Ophelia and Lear's Madness is like an Oxy-Moron where the "Madness" portrays the most truth. But its usually to late , in insanity you must do something and that usually leads to "Death".
Both Lear and Hamlet have a desire for revenge, and use "justice" as means to achieve it.
Additional Key Elements of
Madness in Key Lear
- Gloucester also symbolizes someone of "Mad" or "Madness" Qualities
-Goneril portrays the true demonic possession
How do we know Edgar is not
Edgar produces inner speech, and therefore his
language portrays both logical reasoning of his own and the play on of "Madness"
Act 4 Scene 1 "(aside) And worse I may be yet. The worst is not So long as we can say "This is the worst"
"(aside) How should this be?
Bad is the trade that must play fool to sorrow,
Angering itself and others.—Bless thee, master! "
Here Edgar implicitly states that he is pretending
In Act 1, Scene four , both Lear's Daughter's believe that Lear rants and Raves. When speaking with the fool he chants wise men have gone foolish, and do not know how to use their brains. This is a depiction of the brain. Concept of reasoning, Lear cannot reason.
Hamlet's Physical Appearance
Ophelia describes Hamlet's Physical Appearance " My lord, as I was sewing in my closet,Lord Hamlet, with his doublet all unbraced;No hat upon his head; his stockings fouled, gartered, and down-gyvèd to his ankle;Pale as his shirt; his knees knocking each other;And with a look so piteous in purport
As if he had been loosèd out of hell .To speak of horrors—he comes before me." ( Act 2, Scene 1) Hamlet is portraying the Physical Appearance of Melancholic character.
How do we know Hamlet does not fully achieve Madness?
He says In Act 1, Scene 5 that hes is pretending to be mad as a disguise. " And therefore as a stranger give it welcome. There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,Than are dreamt of in your philosophy. But come, Here, as before, never, so help you mercy,How strange or odd soe'er I bear myself(As I perchance hereafter shall think meet To put an antic disposition on),That you, at such times seeing me, never shall—With arms encumbered thus, or this headshake,Or by pronouncing of some doubtful phrase, As "Well, well, we know," or "We could an if we would,"
Hamlet also justify his strange behavior to his mother stating " Ecstasy?
My pulse as yours doth temperately keep time And makes as healthful music. It is not madness That I have uttered. Bring me to the test, And I the matter will reword, which madness Would gambol from. " ( Act 3, Scene 4) He speaks that he sees logical reasoning.

Lear's Madness
In Act 4, Scene 4 Cordillea has come back to aide her father and says " Alack, 'tis he. Why, he was met even now As mad as the vexed sea, singing aloud,
Crowned with rank fumiter and furrow-weeds,
With burdocks, hemlock, nettles, cuckoo-flowers,
Darnel, and all the idle weeds that grow
In our sustaining corn.—A century send forth.
Search every acre in the high-grown field,
And bring him to our eye." Here she conveys that he is dressed in Flowers, and weeds which is symbolized with his Maddening character.
-King Lear's Madness has more personal
choice in his Madness. Lear's Madness is more self-inflicted
- Ophelia is more alone than Lear. Lear has more people who are trying to help him. Which makes Ophelia Dependent versus Lear.
- Female Insanity versus Male Insanity

I don't have Alzheimer's but my mother has it; my grandmother had it. Therefore, I am thinking that I may have a good chance of getting it. I write this not as a morbid fact; but rather as a factor that I must consider. Similar to all the factors an aging man must consider like writing a will, obtaining life insurance and designating my final resting place.
So, while I don't yet have Alzheimer's, I think it would be fair to consider how I should live my best life in light of my family's history.
Alzheimer's is a disease that attacks the brain. I have seen firsthand, the decline in the mental ability that transformed a highly intelligent, independent and functional woman into a dependent shrill; mounting a daily all-out struggle, using all her sizable intelligence, grit, and faculties to retain a sense of herself. And it is in that daily struggle that my respect, adoration and love for my mother has grown each day.
So, it in her struggle, that I must consider how to live my best life with Alzheimer's. Here are some principals of that life I have developed:
1. I will put my total trust in God's will
"My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." (Psalm 73:26)
As mental ability declines, people with Alzheimer's become almost completely dependent on others. Clearly, I will have to depend on others, if I have Alzheimer's. However; God is who I will depend on.
2. I will accept the suffering but not with an attitude of defeat
"Then he died, an old man who had lived a long, full life." (Job 42:17)
Despite his time of suffering, Job was restored by God and lived a fruitful life. I am under no allusions about the final outcome of my life; if I develop Alzheimer's. However, I will not accept that God will allow the disease to defeat me. Instead, whenever that may be, He will allow me to die like Job after a "full life".
3. I will learn the 10 warning signs of Alzheimer's and will tell others.
"But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus-the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God." (Acts 20:24)
While the possibility of developing Alzheimer's is about me; really, it is not about me. It is about spreading the word to others and working to find a cure. So I plan to use my voice, this blog space and other media to inform, educate and raise funds for a cure. As I seek to potentially live my best life with Alzheimer's.

text: (I'm guessing this is the most fitting section for my question; if it isn't, sorry about that) I've created a video in Animoto that I would like to use to promote my site. I used the free version, and it says you can export it to YouTube. I tried that several times, but every time, I got an email saying "there was an error with your export; we're working on it. You can purchase a premium account, manually download the video, and post it to YouTube yourself if you wish." Personally, I think everyone gets that message, and it's just a ploy to get people to pay for premium accounts. Anyway, I can view the video on the site, but I can't download it. Does anyone know of a good video download software that can work from Animoto.com? Most of the video downloaders only support YouTube, Vimeo, DailyMotion, and a few other big ones, but none that I've seen work with Animoto. Alternatively, does anyone know of a site similar to Animoto that lets you create professional-looking videos for free and download them?

BIOS is open to any incoming LSU freshman who is taking Biology 1201 in the fall of 2017. The majority of BIOS participants are biology majors or students who are in pre-professional healthcare programs, but we will accept any student whose intended major requires them to take BIOL 1201. The program is only offered to freshman because it is geared toward making the transition to college.
If a student has an ACT score below 23, the university requires them to take Chemistry 1201 prior to enrolling in BIOL 1201. We do allow these students to participate in BIOS, even though they won't be taking BIOL 1201 until the spring.
Students pursuing majors within the College of Agriculture or College of the Coast & Environment who will be taking BIOL 1201 in the fall are welcomed and encouraged to register for BIOS. There will be special programs for these students during BIOS that are led by faculty from those respective colleges.

Since I am constantly examining "What is Real?" in the digital environment I have to explore tons of websites that claim credibility.
By what credentials does a website become valid? If I was Google I most likely would go by the USA standard culture of what is right and wrong. That would mean science and data from academia, government sites and traditional medicine would be higher rated…BUT.
I have worked in government and academia and they truly don't know any more than the man on the street often times. Someone, somewhere collects data from imperfect sources (usually a survey from some regular people) and instantly THAT becomes the final word. Rarely is that data traced back to its source or method. That means that a question asking you to select A or B, or rate something will likely not fit exactly your experience, but that doesn't matter. Once you have made a selection "Numbers are GOD".
Nobody has real access to everyone, even Google. They can access what you choose to say, view and engage with online, but not everyone puts their true thoughts online, many have a facade.
The "State of Being" lecture, which is the volume control of engagement shows that not always do we interact at the same volume. Sometimes we engage disassociatively just for entertainment, sometimes we are grasping at what validates our perspective immersively, and finally we are using our judgement mode to augmentatively add selectively to our frame of reference. All of these modes will vary with the moon, hormones or life experiences.
I worked at a research facility one time on air quality and was accumulating data by a strict criteria to ascertain if the particulates in the electron microscope image were fly ash, sulfates, pollen, or unknown particulates. I worked very diligently to follow the guidelines and report accurately, but at one point I recorded my findings on the back of the picture and came back to it and recounted them later. It was dismally disappointing. My perception of the data was significantly different. The results also at times didn't match expectations with the professor and so modifications were made to the formula by removing the parenthesis in the algebra? This is what we use as absolute governmental and scientific TRUTH?
At the Roadside Philosophers we have a first person group, which means we share perspectives and experiences one-on-one. The person is right there to question and we encourage cross examination and the "Whys". It doesn't take long to ascertain what volume they are engage in by the words they use in their first person account. This is invaluable in deciding their engagement level. Those little adjectives and sentence formation gives us their State of Being. However scientific papers are stripped of such clues. It is not considered scientific so all you see are numbers and graphs and bland documents. Lack of that context information is supposed to make reports MORE truthful?
I witness more and more scientific articles that say things like, "Taking Vitamin C MAY help ward off colds." The words May or Can or Might is more truth… because they really don't know. Just like Betty down the street tells you that gargling with salt has helped her sore throat. If you have someone right in front of you, you can bounce your questions off them directly.
Experiential first person accounts can be falsified just as easily as modifying a calculation. So what do I consider valid? The right to interrogate. If the website has an email to contact and the person responds with something other than a form letter, I will seriously consider it to be… An immersive perspective to consider.
We can examine validity all day, but the bottom line is that you need to understand that all perspectives are fluid and none can actually reflect 100% accurately the perspective from where YOU stand.
So this is my point. You can never take a vacation from thinking or reflecting. Only you can draw the line from what is presented to where you stand in your journey of life. Do not give over your truth just because something claims validity over your experiences, unless you have the right of interrogation.
Enjoy your journey and claim your right to validate.
Hugs, Pamala

Michigan vs OSU Open Thread
Well here we go. 20 minutes till tip-off, playing for a shot against MSU for our first (non-vacated) BTT final/Championship BEAT OHIO
Well here we go. 20 minutes till tip-off, playing for a shot against MSU for our first (non-vacated) BTT final/Championship BEAT OHIO
This is rediculous. What happened to our team, and especially our defense?
You would think better from a physicist's pet.
Meh Maths =/= spelling. Thanks for the correction though, I think rage clouded my spellchecking function.
Playing bad defense and making up for it with even worse offense. Godawful.
Call all our timeouts now! Let's give the refs some time to think about what they're doing! Inbound-timeout-inbound-timeout! Let TH shoot it and get Smot involved!
Oh man, if Zack can't make the ones we need...guess we used up all those shots against Minnesota...
These refs are a joke but this game is already over, we will fight back and make it a game but when a team is more talented than you you can't spot them 10 points like this.
lol, 3 points in 8 minutes. Can't play like that against a team this good
They have the luxury of going to the bench to get rest for their starters
Drawn Charge: Hurling one's body in front of on coming attacking player. Charge is only awarded if player falls to ground and/or is wearing red.
That charge on Sullinger was as much a non-charge as the previous two against Michigan. Guh, refs suck.
gotta say, i saw the beginning of this game going differently in my head.
Time for a run, go into the half down by 6-7 and win in the second half. YES! Channeling my inner Knowledge!
This is a horrid performance we've looked disinterested and ill-prepared for 50 of the 53 minutes of this tournament so far
4 points total during the first 7 minutes of both BTT games. Not very prepared to come out and play.
Coming out of this break is where we start having shots fall and decide to show up....something has to start going right I guess...BTW these refs are charge happy today.
During the TV timeout there were 3 more charges called on Michigan. Not sure why yet.
This is the second game in a row mi is flat. Belien sucks . We have no inside presence in the toughiest and dirtiest league in the country
It's pretty evident that everyone's tired and lost against a bigger team. There's 2 on Burke. Game over.
We really need to work on our overall depth. It is pretty clear that ohio has much better overall talent depth
White uniforms suck shit. Hope they leave them home in the tournament that matters.
Well there goes Burke for the rest of the half. Man could we use a big guy to rebound.
Good rebound, pass and score, let's get it going guys, we can come back!
We need some real post players so badly. No offence to Morgan, but he has weak hands and virtually no post moves. Seems like all he can do is set screens and roll to dunk when wide open.
Well, on the plus side, we are now on pace to score 36 points!!!! Plus we're only down 7 somehow. Feels like it should be a thousand.

Deal the cards, please. We'll start with four players. Thirteen each, one full set of cards for each suit.
Or maybe we'll start with thirteen. Four each, one card of each suit.
Perhaps we'll split it in half. Twenty-six each, one gets the red and the other gets the black.
On the other hand, maybe it's best to just have one person take all 52.
Today, I am taking all 52. I am playing with the entire deck. And, damn, it's full. Filled with the evens and the odds, the reds and the blacks, the hearts and the diamonds and the clubs and the spades. I can assign an attribute to each one.
A card for each and every single year of my life. A full deck, a full life.
Here's hoping I still have quite a few jokers in reserve.

G & T Show 170 – Getting The Band Back Together
G & T Show 170 – Getting The Band Back Together is now available to download. Check it out here. Terry is back from her trip to New York and joins Nick and Mike for this week's show. We talk about Star Trek News, along with a hearty discussion of the latest regarding the upcoming Star Trek film. They even offer some of the Easter Eggs they would like to see. They also discuss the latest from STO in Star Trek Online News.
We kick the show off with introductions before jumping right into Coffee Clatch with Terry's discussion of her recent trip to New York for work. She shares her experiences with the friends she got to see, their arrival with her boss, the Broadway play she attended and more. The play she saw was It's Only A Play and hasn't laughed like that in a long time. Terry tells us about the play. Nick asked her about her thoughts about the people. She tells us about her arrival, which coincided with the verdict of the grand jury and their failed attempt to reach Rockerfeller Center to watch the lighting of the tree.
Nick tells us about a gripe he has with people whose idea of funny is limited to Carrot Top and his appreciation for Collin Quin and Norm MacDonald's deconstruction of comedy. He passes to Mike. He tells us about our recent Book Club discussion of James Swallow's Cast No Shadow. Then, this week we discussed the recent Supplemental Log with Rico E. Anderson and all of us projects. Mike goes on to talk about The Fires of The Phoenix and his completion of the first draft of the character bios. Terry recommends everyone check out the Supplemental Log and Book Club before thanking Scott Pearson and Audio Vixen for covering for her last week. Mike quickly wishes Janet good luck, since she is running a 5k this morning. He also shares the link to her newly published book: Untrustworthy.
Quickly asks Terry, if she heard any Klingon accents while she was in New York. She heard a few Long Island accents, but not too many. While talking about having Nutella Crepes with Elio, they decide that is the name of their next band. Afterwards, they jump into this week's Star Trek News. Nick starts us off asking for people's thoughts on Benedict Cumberbatch taking on the role of Dr. Strange. When Terry mentions that there are talented people taking on these larger than life roles, Mike reminds us that he had taken on one of the largest roles imaginable as a freaking dragon. Terry asks if they had seen Stephen Colbert's interview with Smaug. It was awesome. They put off talking about other happenings in the Marvel Universe including Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D until later in the show.
Getting back on track, Terry starts us off with some art that came out called Parks and Trek which mashes Parks and Recreation with Star Trek TNG. Before Terry can bring up the next point of business, Mike realizes that he did not hit record. Terry tells us that she's recording, while Mike starts his up. Moving along, C-Net had an interesting article about Rosetta's recent discovery that the comet possesses deuterium rich water, which is a fuel component in Star Trek's warp drives. Moving us along, Terry reports the sad news that James G. Becker passed away this week. He appeared on TNG as a stand-in.
The Federation of Beer's newest Sindicate Lager will be released this week. Terry is irked by the misspelling of the Syndicate. Mike thinks that I's are big this year and cites the misspelling of Genesis in Terminator: Genisys as an example. Nick offers another theory and they are playing up the word Sin. Terry is pleased that they are putting out a lager. Nick hopes that our booth at STLV will be as good as it was last year with it situated close to Federation of Beer, GeekNation Tours and Pendragon. Up next, Terry shares a link to a Starfleet Academy Hoodie that she wants for Christmas. She goes on to tell us that she received her Star Trek Ships of the Line book, but was a little disappointed that it is a reedited version of the first book with extra added content.
Based on something posted in the chat room, Nick sends a message out to anyone complaining about Kate Upton appearing in video game commercials. He is disappointed with the idea that any beautiful girl would not play games. It spurs them to talk about the subject for a few moments. When Felicia Day was brought up, Mike mentions that she wrote a book. Terry says that its the same thing that has been going around since Gamer Gate first started.
We move onto Robert Orci and the latest news from the new movie. Orci has returned to his Internet presence with an interview to Trek Movie. In it, he dis-spells many of the rumors going around regarding his removal from the film's production as Director. One of the things he cleared up was in regard to time travel and the films dissolution of the JJ-universe. Terry goes on to talk about some of it, including the social media hashtag, #BringInRiker.
Mike asks if the rumor he had heard about Paramount being unhappy with the script and that it has been pulled and revamped was true. Terry doesn't know if its true, but as long as they release it during the calendar year of 2016, its possible. Mike doesn't know if the rumor is true or not. Nick says it can be done very quickly if it is in the right hands. Terry was optimistic about his role in the film, but now she is concerned about the film's script.
Terry mentioned that it opens up the possibility for him to helm the next television series. Nick and Mike agree that he has a lot more experience with television and would be a good choice to create a JJ-universe show. Terry talks about Doctor Who's 50th anniversary and the global phenomenon around it. Star Trek is just starting to get global exposure. Terk needs a TV show that can sell on a global stage and Orci can do it. Mike hopes that someone with phenomenal movie experience will take over and create something great. Terry thinks Wright is a good choice, but she is positive that Frakes can do it.
Nick jokes that Braga should direct the film and Mike says that it would guarantee that there would be time travel in the film. Talking about the film, Terry had received a message on Facebook from a listener mentioning that TNG, DS9, and Voyager stars should be given background roles as easter eggs in the next film. All Mike has to say is Jefferey Combs as anything. Riffing off it, Nick suggests the Enterprise Blues Band in the bar scene. They all agreed that the main title actors from the previous series would be a bit much. Nick goes on to suggest that if its a bar scene, Morn with hair needs to be present with Chris Pine remarking about the hilarious story Morn just told him. Terry suggests a new hashtag #Morn4ST3.
We do not have an Ask Dayton this week. Mike reminds everyone to send their Ask Dayton questions to hosts @ gandtshow.com. Since the email is working, Mike mentions that he will be rolling out the new site in January, which you can check out right now by visiting our test site. Terry says that new art work will be coming later. Since they were having a production meeting on the air, Nick asks if the Marc Cushman Interview had been rescheduled. Mike explains that they are done with Supplemental Logs for the rest of year, and that Marc is at the top of the list for when they come back.
They move onto Star Trek Online News. Nick starts us off with a complaint about lag times and stability issues. Terry had been disconnected from the game twice last night. Mike complains about the issue with Tides of Ice not providing end mission rewards, which were required to unlock the various items in the Winter Event's vendor. However, it was rendered mute when he was given a copy of the recent patch notes that removed the Tides of Ice requirement from the rewards. They talk about Tides of Ice and the rest of the Winter Event.
Terry moves us along. Beth has reached level 57 and was able to complete the Kobali Ground Adventure Zone. Without giving out any spoilers, we talk about the big reveal at the end of the Kobali Prime missions. They loved it. Mike wants an explanation. He wants to know what it means, and what happens next with what had happened. Terry says that she hates the grind, but absolutely loves the story. Mike asks if she had gotten through Dragon's Deceit and they do spoil a little bit of the story with the introduction to the Bluegill (The TNG parasites). With Dragon's Deceit, the PVE Queue mission, Bug Hunt has been unlocked for her and he recommends playing that if she is looking to earn the ancient powercells.
They move onto the new bonus mark event and the Elachi mission. They talk about the mission and the queuing bug she experienced. Terry talks about the marks she's earned and her progress on the Repuation system. Mike mentions that he's gotten to tier 5 and has started unlocking the gear rewards.
Terry sends a shout out to Enterprise In Space and the voting for their starship design is currently ongoing. Be sure to place your vote. Mike mentions that he wanted to submit a design, but is not very good at drawing, unless it happens to be a stick-figure Klingon. Terry sends another shout out to Dayton's post about Return to Tomorrow, a book of interviews about the making of The Motion Picture. Mike compares it to Marc Cushman's book. Finally, Terry talks about Star Trek: New Voyages newest episode: Mindsifter has been released. Mike is excited and looking forward to checking it out.
Mike mentions that Farragut has released the trailer to their next film. He thinks it looks interesting. MaddWolf in the chatroom mentions that All Things Trek has released their final episode. We will miss having them as a sister podcast. We hope Oren will stay in touch with all of his new endeavors. We move into other announcements. Mike starts us off with Starfinder. The latest episode: Gorn of A Different Color Part 2 will be out on Friday and the final episode of this four-part Klingon mini-series crossover event for Starfinder will be released on January 2nd. He goes on to mention that there's been talk and rumors that Starfinder may be crossing over with Oren's Tales From the DMZ in the future. Marv in the chat room wonders who plays the Nausicaan in the Gorn episodes for Starfinder. Mike points out it was him. Gates of Sto'vo'kor is waiting on one more piece of audio before they can start editing the first episode of their long anticipated third season. For this season, they will need over 150+ voices. Mike asks if you're interested in lending your voice to Gates of Sto'vo'kor, to send an email to hosts @ gatesofstovokor.com, or send him a message via twitter or facebook.
In other BLB News, Mike reveals that The Fires of The Phoenix comic that he is collaborating with an artist to produce will be a BLB Production. He reveals that he has written a blog post about how this collaborative effort began and has posted it on his personal website and shares that a new short story will be released on his site later today. For G & T Show news, our new website should be going live in January. Our fundraiser is still ongoing since we need help getting the subscriptions that we need, so please contribute if you can, but the major work has been completed. They send thanks to everyone that has contributed. Mike remembered one more item. He has been looking at and finalizing Blood of the Nei'rrh scripts. Once that is done, they will be going into production on that series as well.
Nick gets the dates mixed up but mentions that 12-13-14 15:16 happened and we survived. Mike asks Terry if she's got any announcements. She doesn't have anything but mentions that slowly her computer is coming together from the recent disaster. She's not rushing into it. We will be back next week for episode 171.

But, wait. There's more.
He is the co-owner of Busy Little Beaver Productions and is the producer and co-host for G & T Show and Gates of Sto'vo'kor. He's directed voice actors, and produced and edited audio podcasts and dramas because he doesn't have the face for video.

If he wasn't working on something with a half dozen other projects waiting in the wings, somebody please check to make sure he's still breathing.
