is a genre of the performing arts, related to
, but lighter in terms of both
and subject matter. Because it is closely related to both opera and also to
musical theater
, in many cases, it is difficult to differentiate between them. The term began as a label for stage works that were shorter or otherwise less ambitious than full scale operas, in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Operetta became hugely popular in
in the nineteenth century, in no small part thanks to works by the likes of

and Johann Strauss . In addition, the operetta is the precursor of modern musical theater.
Operettas have had a vast impact on western culture. They have made opera, a typically dense and epic form of entertainment, available to the common public and accessible and enjoyable to all. They have influenced the development of later musical styles, particularly the

, originating in New York , which has now gained popularity around the world, outstripping both opera and operetta. All of these forms, opera, musicals, and operetta, contribute to mankind's quality of life by providing beauty, inspiration, and thought-provoking and educational scenes to enrich each viewer's life experience.
Normally, in an operetta, some of the libretto is spoken rather than sung. Instead of moving directly from one musical number to another, the singers are given periods

interspersed between the musical segments, which are performed without any singing or musical accompaniment, though sometimes musical themes are played quietly under the dialogue. Some operettas include passages of recitative, a style of semi-sung, semi-spoken text used in light opera between the musical numbers.
Operettas are often considered less "serious" than operas, although this has more to do with the often comic (or even farcical) plots than with the caliber of the music . Topical satire is a feature common to many operettas, although this is also true of some more serious operas as well. Formerly, opera expressed politics in code in some countries, such as France ; for example, the circumstances of the title character in the opera Robert le diable was a code for the parental conflict and resolution of the king of France at its first performance.
As Marsha Linehan, founder of dialectical behavioral therapy () succinctly expressed: pain without acceptance = suffering. Linehan created the therapeutic approach of DBT to alleviate the intense emotional pain associated with borderline personality disorder . Its core assumption is that change and acceptance are intertwined. At first glance, this can be hard to fathom. We typically think of our efforts to change things as emerging out of non-acceptance. We either decide to accept things as they are or we seek to change: change or acceptance, not both.
Consider the process that led to the DBT's creation. In the late 1970s, Dr. Linehan wanted to test the effectiveness of
behavioral change
strategies on a population with unequivocal suffering and gathered a clinical sample of women with recent
Womens Vorga Linen Mules Manolo Blahnik 8PtiX5sk3
attempts and/or persistent thoughts about ending their life. She quickly learned that the implicit message in her behavioral change strategies pathologized the women she sought to help: "If I need to change, there must be something wrong with me." Because many of the women were raised in environments that were abusive, neglectful, or otherwise unresponsive to their needs, this message was particularly invalidating.
In response, Linehan incorporated messages from Zen Buddhist traditions that emphasized acceptance. This approach focused on the women's strength and current capabilities rather than their need to change. The women craved acceptance, but not at the risk of downplaying their hardship. Acceptance, alone, elicited the response: "Can't you see I am in terrible pain?"
Dr. Linehan, and her colleagues at the University of Washington, eventually realized they would have to integrate approaches to change and acceptance in a way that somehow harmonized them. Their inspiration arrived in the concept of "dialectic," meaning the synthesis of seemingly oppositional viewpoints to arrive at a new place.
Linehan and her colleagues built DBT on the premise that people have the capacity to hold conflicting ideas. In DBT, clients learn skills to practice self-acceptance and constructive change, and work together with their therapist to resolve perceived contradictions between these. Healing also comes from refuting false dichotomies in favor of a middle path. This includes acknowledging therapist and client as similarly fallible and accountable, and change as constant and inevitable.
As a psychotherapist who has been teaching weekly DBT skills classes since 2005, I have witnessed dramatic results. As someone living with chronic physical pain, these skills have also been invaluable in my own journey. My clients often say that DBT should be mandatory

Provided that people consider government as though it is somehow separate from himself, then they're always likely to support laws in such a manner that benefits them personally. The government plays an important function in helping the nation using these difficult times. Though it is giving out money left and the right to people who want to get out of debt, few people know that this is even a viable option. The fantastic government is set at the ballot box. So, bad government isn't the fault of those elected officials, so much since it's the fault of those folks who weren't committed enough to take some time to earn a decision.
The government does not have any ability to alter the human heart. The government would like to find people succeed and they possess the resources to create that happen. Indeed the colonial government wasn't yet prepared to concede representation. The `right' government will have the ability to aid the people today cushion the effect of an international slowdown.
For all sorts of grants, proposals are essential. Before you even start to compose a debt relief government grant proposal, you have to learn how to apply the most proper wording with the good quantity of passion for having the work done. Thus, when you're writing your debt relief government grant proposals, be confident you present a strong persuasive argument which will enable you to receive the funding you must escape debt and begin living your life how you need to.
One of many important expenses of a normal household is their mortgage payments. If you prefer to have the ability to generate income within this economy, no matter how good or bad its doing we must look at various ways to become owners and receive a bit of that accounts receivable pie. If you prefer to escape from debt once and for all, then it can assist to become help. With a few of the excellent alternatives that you can select from, getting out of debt gets much simpler.
Public service is the role of superior government. A company needs not just adequate capital, but the right sort of capital for the company, its objectives and objectives. For example, if you're a small company and you would like to work with the government in any important capacity, you'll first comply with a very long collection of requirements.
Throughout the Bible, there are many examples of nice and bad leadership. It's a well-known actuality that the expenses of health care in America are steep. The truth is there'll stay a demand for the government the same way that there is going to stay a demand to educate children, feed people, protect communities and deal with the elderly. At times it is sensible to reassess a position. Make certain to do everything within your means to maintain a superior government credit report. There are many challenges in life today, and giving work interview is among the most stressful. Those in the online right are giving an excellent area of the scathe that discomforts them.
Your solution needs to be to present great info and communication. The solution is dependent on who you ask. It is, does something. Whether you choose to apply by yourself or find some help, grants for unmarried mothers are always likely to be your very best option if you qualify.

Neku Mataya: Festival of Light and Carnival (Kathmandu)
Mataya "Festival of Light" in Patan
Date: August 15, Protected content Time: Protected content Venue: Ikhalakhu
Participation: Free Contact Person: Raju Gurbacharya Host: Ikhalakhu, Protected content
A little foot weariness is a small price to pay for the joy you get from participating in the holy parade of Mataya, the 'Festival of Lights'.
Very few cities in the world compares with Patan (Lalitpur) in the richness of its cultural heritage—a claim that really makes sense, especially when you are talking about something with the unmatched wonder of Mataya. For Patan's Newari community in a city where festivals function as rites of passage throughout the year, the series of festivals during Gunla (the ninth lunar month) has become a way of life. The highest point of this greatest of all Buddhists months is Mataya (and its twin procession, Neku Jatra, both celebrated as one) which follows the day after Gai Jatra. This day-long journey around the historical city starts at the dawn, on the third day of the dark fortnight of Shrawan (August).
Inhabitants of Lalitpur are obliged to participate if they have lost a relative during the preceding year. Those who are particularly going through austerities for the merit of their deceased loved ones wear sacking over their near-naked bodies to protect them as they prostrate themselves before each shrine that they visit. It is believed that this helps their dead ones rest in peace. Despite the seriousness of this parade, connected as it is to death and tragedy, it is carried on with a carnival atmosphere. People gather to observe the fun and give a helping hand to the participants of this holy parade. Since helping the participants earns religious merit for oneself even if one does not join the procession, people gather at intersections to offer assistance to the devotees. Friends and relatives stand by the roadside with rice and coins to replenish their stock. Some guide the traffic while others stand with containers of cold water and first aid. It is an interesting and inspirational sight to see people with spray cans dousing water on the marchers to cool them down, as the going gets a bit too hot.

A Soldier's Tale
The Game World
War of the Twin Rods
Welcome to the 12th Fanelian Imperial Battalion. Be you mercenary or soldier, you'll be fighting against the Rudolian Army.
The forces behind the war are two brothers, who began their war 40 long years ago. It seems most of the populace has forgotten the true reason the war began, but both sides are willing to finish it. Within Fanelia and Rudolia, magic is taboo. To openly display magical ability is to put a bounty on your head, paint a target on your chest, and call the hounds.
This hatred of magical power has changed these two kingdoms. Smiths forgo magical enchantments and have given new meaning to "masterwork" equipment. Alchemists and medics have developed natural cures that rival magical power. The lack of magic has pushed the citizens of the twin kingdoms to improve their crafts.
This long war has claimed many lives and ravaged the land. Those who respect nature have grown to utterly despise the twin brothers for their wanton destruction and exhaustive harvesting. The five countries that call Fanelia and Rudolia neighbor are outraged, but do not dare commit any major support to either brother. Whatever the reasons, despite the crimes against nature and the anathema against magic, none have stepped in to end this long war.
It is in these two countries, ravaged by war and devoid of magical power, that soldiers will fight and die.

Does AirPort Time Capsule - 2TB back up iPhoto
I have a macbook pro which I travel with and an iMac at home. So i end up with lots of photographs on both. Would be great if they were synced. I have had lots of trouble with iCloud and iphoto on both devices but no such issues with ipad and iphone.
Hopefully AirPort Time Capsule is the answer to my problems.
1 Answer from the Community
Yes, but not manually merging the contents.
Apple Time Capsule (ATC) will back up files on a MacOSX system. I point that out because it only works with files, not making choices as to their contents. If those files include a user's "Pictures" directory (or wherever the user may have reconfigured the iPhoto folder(s)) then TimeMachine as a service will back up those iPhoto files to a TimeCapsule, but it doesn't do anything different with Photos than with Movies, Word Documents, or Garageband songs.
In your example, ATC would backup separate isolated backups of both Macs; this wouldn't give you the result of a single combined library, it would only give you the really great feeling of knowing your photos are securely preserved.
I think your best solution is a 3rd-party tool called "iPhoto Library Manager" by Fat Cat Software. This is a not-free product, and not supported by Apple of course, but I've used it very successfully to split libraries, and it offers the ability to merge content as well. This would be a manual action, but it has done a very good job of maintaining meta-data for me while it does its work.

Author has written 4 stories for Star Trek: 2009.
It's probably time to introduce myself.
Hey everyone, my name is Alana, but I go by Lanes or Lanesy 'round these here parts. I'm not really good at profiles and introductions, but all you really need to know is that I love to write in my free time, and FFnet lets me indulge in that. I started writing fanfiction back in...2003-ish? Writing for FFVIII, and had a multi-chaptered story in that fandom that I sadly never finished. It wasn't until this year when I got back the desire to write fanfic again, and to ease myself back into the process I am currently only writing one-shots and drabbles. I do intend to hopefully write a full length piece or two now that I'm on a roll, but I won't actually post it here until it's done to cut back on drama and angst. I know how horrible it is to really get into reading a story only to have them give up moments before the end.
My current fandoms--the strongest ones at least right now--are Star Trex XI/Reboot (whatever you want to call it) and Final Fantasy XII (not much else you can call that), but I definitely dip into reading other fandoms around here. Some of my favourite things/pairings to write are:
(italics are WIPs)
Some of my favourite things/pairings to read are:
Star Trek: Reboot
Harry Potter
Eureka seveN
Final Fantasy VIII
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
There's more, but I can't remember it all right now. I fail.
ANYWAY. Yes. Feel free to drop by anytime, leave me messages and I will also try and take occasional requests at my LJ (tehlanes). Please, don't be scared to friend me if you like. There's not much going on under the f-lock right now and most of it is fiction since I'm just getting started, but I always love to make new friends. Also, I am a member/staffer at Red Carpet and Rebellion (username: tehlanes), so for you RPers out there if you're ever in need of graphic resources for sigs and sites, come check us out, and give me a yell if only just to say hi! I always love that.

United Kingdom Dates: 17th - 18th May 2012
Festival Information
Lakefest 2012 Overview
After the success of Croft Farm's 2011 Cider Festival they have decided to make it an annual event… now called 'Lakefest'. The festival is held in the beautiful surroundings of Croft Farm Waterpark in Gloucestershire. Expect a quality event with great facilities, plenty of entertainment for all ages, and some great bands!

Ticket Prices (from): Adult weekend including camping £79
Lakefest 2012 Event Info

If you wish to bring a campervan / caravan, you will need to purchase a supplemental campervan ticket. All occupants must be in the possession of a weekend ticket with camping.

Then one of their glamping options may suit you: Chalets / Tipi's / Pod Village.
History: Lakesfest was born unofficially on April 9th 2011 when Croft Farm Waterpark hosted its inaugural music and cider festival.
Three guys; Martin Newell, Steve Daff and Lee Martin decided in late September 2010 that the Lakeside Café and Bar needed to be put on the map locally. Over a full breakfast and three cups of tea it was joked that the legendary Wurzel's would bring the crowds down to Croft Farm. "That'll put us on the map, the biggest thing to happen in Bredon since Swindon Town visited in 1987!" was the cry. Within 15 minutes, the Wurzel's were booked…
As interest grew amongst local cider drinkers and music fans more and more local bands were added to the line-up. These included The Stages of Dan and the awesome Roving Crows. The soon to be massive Crows have become a pivotal part of Lakefest with their cool attitude, ability to make people dance and unrivalled music knowledge.
There were serious moments of worry with the original effort costing nearly £20,000 with no experience in delivering a "festival experience". But everyone, including friends and family and the local farming community pulled together and the gig was on.
On April 9th 2011 the sun shone, the revellers came and 8500 pints of traditional cider were shared by just over 1500 people. There were over 32 ciders available on the day from Bredon, Cropthorne, Ledbury and further afield.
Classic West Country games like Welly Wanging and skittles were available to play with a year's gym membership up for grabs!
To further enhance the West Country theme they had a combine harvester on display, a gypsy dray and all the bar staff were kitted out with flat caps, neckerchiefs and white t-shirts.
The weather was so good, groups of people without tickets congregated on the grass outside the marquee to share in the absolutely mind-blowing day. The Roving Crows got the crowd bouncing and at 11.30pm The Wurzels started "I got a brand new combine Harvester" and the whole marquee was jumping. This continued into the early hours….
The feedback was so positive and so much fun was had by so many that planning went immediately into "Lakefest". The three founders agreed that the cider and West Country theme was such a huge success that it could never be replicated but we enjoyed the organising and event and wanted to do it again. The legacy had been set, hence, Lakefest.
They have vowed to stick to the friendly, slightly hippie West Country roots with a mix of beers, ciders and lagers from around the county.
It's been decided that the should make it a two day event and have some world class bands to accompany the world class scenery and beers…..
The plan is never to be a Reading or Glastonbury but be something special for special people that want to come, drink, laugh, dance and party.
Sometimes less is more…

It's been just about over a year now since i made That Pepsi Girl and i still get e-mailed about that website every now and then.
Alright, so i haven't exactly been keeping that site updated much. At all really. But i should though. Mandy's got quite a few things going on lately. I even had this director dude e-mail me about this short film he made starring Mandy. Dude was cool enough to even send over a coupla production photos and even offered to send me a free DVD. Check out the website for that little flick of his if anybody's interested. It's called 'Alone'.
Anyhow, i'm not sure if i ever mentioned it but Mandy was actually nice enough to mail me an autographed copy of that issue of Maxim that i got her in. Haha. How awesome is that. Actually being able to say that i got somebody into Maxim. She also sent over one of her headshots. Signed too of course.
I love it.
And what she said about her Maxim shot made me chuckle.
Funny thing is, if you ever heard that radio interview that me and her did for the Kevin and Bean show, turns out that i actually DO end up having two copies of that issue of Maxim. One to read and one to... you know...
See because i kinda joked about getting two copies... and then i actually ended up getting two copies... and then i...
Okay so maybe it isn't really funny... at all.
Oh and by the way, this arrived in my inbox a coupla days ago.
I just put in a search for Mandy Amano in iTunes/podcasts and found this interview of Mandy on a podcast called Framed. It's about filmmaking, but has a great, long interview with Mandy. She sounds so cute!
Thought you might like to know. They have a website http://framedpodcast.com/ where you can download the file, but I got it through the Itunes site here
Thanks for the tip Mark.
On this first episode, the guys are visited by That Pepsi Girl, Mandy Amano for a chat about life, independent film and what makes acting fun.
Haha. They still call her 'That Pepsi Girl'.

The Dark Side of Parenting a Child with Autism
Article first published as The Dark Side of Parenting a Child with Autism on Technorati.On Thursday, March 15th, Philly.com posted an article about the hard questions of Autism. The writer, a father of a child on the Spectrum, talked about the two most difficult questions that we are parents of a child with a disability face: what is in store for our child in the future? His son mentioned how he worries about what his future will be like, and worries about what to do when his parents are too old to take care of him. Both questions are good ones, and often questions we as parents try to avoid asking, or even thinking about. They are legitimate worries that don't have any easy answers, and the outcomes are completely out of our control. Within our own homes, we can create an environment that will help our children develop, progress, communicate, and succeed. At school, with an IEP, we can help our children learn in an environment that is optimized for their needs. But with all these special requirements, what employer will be willing to invest in such a bright, intelligent child with so many special needs? Usually I just try not to think about the future of both my sons, knowing that worrying now will not help them or me. Instead I focus on what I can control, which is his education and what help I can give them. I focus on the IEP, the steps for helping communication and social skills, building those basic life skills needed to survive in the world. I can see my oldest take something apart and put it back together again, have it work, and then inspect each part, and I immediately see him as a brilliant engineer. My youngest I see play on many of my instruments and see him as a brilliant musician. I have my hopes for my kids, but I don't know how to unlock those futures for them. That's the frustrating thing about being a parent of a child on the Spectrum. If you get a chance to read the article mentioned before, I would highly recommend it. It's a very good read, though you may have to suffer a few tugs at your heart strings.

If approved, Hawaii's Interisland Wind Project would transmit up to 400 megawatts (MW) of electricity to the island of Oahu via undersea cable from wind farms proposed for the smaller islands of Lanai and Molokai. In order to succeed, however, members of these smaller island communities will have to be convinced of the merits of these projects, and recently, Hawaiian Electric and Castle and Cooke Resorts–the partners behind this ambitious project, which has the potential to displace about 15% of Oahu's current oil use–have released the list of ways they propose to sweeten the deal, so to speak, for at least the community of Lanai.
Pending approval from the state's Public Utilities Commission, they plan to offer Lanaians: 1) electricity at 40% less than current prices, 2) 100% renewable energy by 2030, based on wind, solar, biomass and biofuels, 3) grid improvements that would allow for rooftop photovoltaic systems, and 4) utility help with up-front costs for solar hot water systems.
Additionally–with no approvals required from the state–Hawaiian Electric and Castle and Cook Resorts are prepared to offer the residents of Lanai $50,000 a year over the 20 year power purchase agreement for the Lanai Community Fund and $30,000 for at least two years from Hawaiian Electric and Maui Electric companies for a community-based campaign for energy efficiency and conservation on Lanai.
Other proposals include the establishment of a Lanai Community Benefits Fund that would be funded by proceeds from one percent of the wind farm's gross revenues, job guarantees from Castle and Cooke Resorts, priority consideration for Lanai residents in wind farm hiring, and conservation and hunting benefits, among others.

- It's all about the resolution. As much as I love Landsat you really need high-resolution imagery, such as WorldView2, to see the type of damage causes by an Irene-type event.
- Manual image interpretation. While we would like to think that all we need is imagery from two different dates and a press of the Staples Easy Button to get results, the reality is much more complex. This is particularly true in post-event disaster response. Automated detection may help highlight areas of change, but chances are you will have to do it the old way to precisely quantify the damage. No one beats a human when it comes to high-resolution image analysis.
- Georegistration is a challenge. Much of the imagery that was acquired post-Irene was done so at rather extreme look angles. Orthorectificaton did not yield promising results and it was time consuming. Thus, all the damage mapping was done on the more accurate pre-event imagery through good old fashioned terrain association. The offset is shown quite clearly in the above graphic.
- Come up with a damage class domain. Lots of interpreters may be working on the same project and thus it really helps if you can come up with a list of damage types so that all of the datasets are consistent.
- Work locally. The cloud and networks tend not to fare too well during disasters. Digitizing goes a heck of a lot faster when the imagery is stored locally.

Thoughts on post-event damage detection
Thanks to an AmericaView mini-grant and the labor of some intrepid students we were able to do a detailed damage assessment of some of the areas in Vermont hardest hit by Hurricane Irene back in 2011. The pre-event imagery was sourced from the National Agricultural Imagery Program and we obtained post-event WorldView-2 imagery from the USGS Hazard Data Distribution System (HDDS). Below are some key take-away points for this type of work.

Plant Flavonoids—Biosynthesis, Transport and Involvement in Stress Responses
AbstractThis paper aims at analysing the synthesis of flavonoids, their import and export in plant cell compartments, as well as their involvement in the response to stress, with particular reference to grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.). A multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (MATE) as well as ABC transporters have been demonstrated in the tonoplast of grape berry, where they perform a flavonoid transport. The involvement of a glutathione S-transferase (GST) gene has also been inferred. Recently, a putative flavonoid carrier, similar to mammalian bilitranslocase (BTL), has been identified in both grape berry skin and pulp. In skin the pattern of BTL expression increases from véraison to harvest, while in the pulp its expression reaches the maximum at the early ripening stage. Moreover, the presence of BTL in vascular bundles suggests its participation in long distance transport of flavonoids. In addition, the presence of a vesicular trafficking in plants responsible for flavonoid transport is discussed. Finally, the involvement of flavonoids in the response to stress is described.

It's been amazingly warmish and all the snow has been washed away by rain. Green is creeping across the yellow winter grass. When it's not raining, the sun has been warm and lovely.
I saw this today on my run:
And this:
And this:
Could it be that spring is really here?
Oh, how nice it is to go outside and not have to brace yourself for that brutal cold. How lovely it is to be warm in our house without having to crank the heat way up to compensate for our drafty (but beautiful) old windows. How pleasant it is to feel the sun on your face.
I'm sure there will be some more cold here and there and maybe some late snowstorms. The kids are hoping to get the chance to ski a few more times.
But this mildness and greenness and change is most welcome.
And today Jared's working with the kids to put the trampoline tarp back on. They're SO excited.
Kids are roaming the neighborhood and playing outside again. The back door is open and kids are running in and out for drinks and and snacks. Yeah for spring!

When you spend enough time with a person - be it a sibling, a friend, or a spouse - you come to appreciate their quirks and foibles. Sometimes you'll find those quirks to be unbearably annoying, other times downright hilarious. The flipside, of course, is that you learn how to press their buttons and chuckle uncontrollably as they respond in precisely the way you expected. After 20 years, that pretty much sums up my relationship with Golden Axe on Mega Drive/Genesis. I quite literally know how to press its buttons and have a good old chortle when the expected hilarity ensues. Allow me to let you in on the joke.
Before we begin, however, something needs to be acknowledged:
... There are no actual golden axes in Golden Axe...
Well, that's not entirely true. The dwarf wielded a golden axe in the arcade version, but its brilliant yellow sheen was lost in the migration to the Mega Drive/Genesis (hereafter referred to as Mega Drive - sorry America). Why someone would neglect to carry over something so fundamental to the title is anybody's guess, but I would like to offer up a few theories.
Theory Number One relates to the Japanese Kanji characters behind the English title text. It essentially reads "Battle Axe" or "War Axe", with some interesting war-like embellishments. The rest of this equation is a chicken and egg question: does the "Battle Axe" still refer to the dwarf's weapon of choice, or does it refer to the game's "main" character (and Golden Axe fans know that I use that term very loosely), Ax Battler? I am inclined to say the former, but the blue-booted barbarian did go on to star in his own Game Gear title, Ax Battler: A Legend of Golden Axe two years later.
The instruction manual reckons that the game's villain Death Adder wields the Golden Axe, and yet it is so blatantly brown in both the arcade and home versions.
Either way it's fair to say that Team Shinobi *probably* didn't think the game was about a golden axe when they ported it to the Mega Drive.
Something else that was lost in translation, or perhaps gained, is the mystery of Deb's house.
For years I would ponder the meaning of "DEB", inscribed on a plaque above an unassuming doorway. What is Deb? Who is Deb? Is it the name of those two bruisers bursting out the door? It wasn't until I noted the plaque's absence from the arcade version that I realised: this is an inn, and that sign is meant to read "BED"! In the Japanese tradition of reading from right to left, the word was written backwards. It's a curious thing, because someone went out of their way to add this to the Mega Drive version. Someone wanted to tell us what that building was normally for.
The main source of Golden Axe's hilarity is its piss-poor enemy AI. Even using the term "AI" is pushing it, unless the 'I' stands for 'Idiot'. Something you'll learn very quickly is that an enemy in Golden Axe will always take the most direct route to reach you. The next thing you'll notice is that there are a lot of cliffs, pits, and ledges for them to walk off in their efforts to meet you. Like so:
The key is to simply stand in the right place and they'll follow without question. Some enemies need a little more encouragement, but it's nothing a quick jump attack or barge can't fix.
This brings me to an old favourite, the Barge 'n' Dodge. It doesn't take long to realise that most enemies will snap into a run-and-barge animation as soon as you're a certain distance away. So, the trick is - find your favourite ledge and stand near it, keeping that barge-enticing distance from the oncoming foe. Sure as eggs, he'll barge at you, but you've already moved out of his way as he sails to a bottomless doom:
Be forewarned, though, if you're a bit tardy with the D-pad, you're going down with him. It's a classic case of risk and reward, so there's always a hint of excitement there.
My favourite variation of the Barge 'n' Dodge takes place at the beginning of Stage 7. All you need to do is run and barge across the divide and wait on the tiny strip of ground for your enemy to chase you.
Now, the barge, when operated correctly, can be a very valuable asset. In fact, there isn't an enemy in Golden Axe that can withstand the power of a simple barge. I call this one the Argy-Bargy, and the trick is to separate two enemies with one on either side. Then run and barge back and forth, alternating between the enemies on your left and right side. This is better achieved in single player mode, but with timing and caution two players can make it look pretty damn cool:
I actually call this one the "I'm-the-King-of-the-Castle-and-You're-the-Dirty-Rascal" play, but for posterity's sake you can just call it the King of the Hill. The beginning of Stage 4 is a race to the top. Run and jump to the top of the rafters, stand in the centre of the platform's edge, then start jumping and hacking like a mad dog. It doesn't matter if they're in line with you or not, your pursuers will glide gracefully into your blade and land face-first in the cobblestones below.
I was once of the belief that Death Bringer's skeletal minions were the toughest blighters in the game – what with them being invincible skeleton warriors and all – and don't get me wrong, if you're playing alone, they still are. But my sister brought this to my attention when we were last playing. "Do you know the Skeleton Trick?" she asked me.
"The Skeleton Trick?!"
"Yeah, you get one guy to walk up and down so the skeletons follow him, while the other guy takes down the boss."
And you know what? It really works. Those stupid skeletons will follow you up and down all day if you let them, and they won't so much as lay a hand on you. It was such a revelation I couldn't believe I hadn't tried it sooner.
I don't know why I was surprised. My sister's always had it in for those skeletons. This is her other favourite skeleton exploit, which I have dubbed The Daisycutter. All it involves is standing on a lower-set platform and hacking at their magical knee-caps:
The comedy keeps coming long after the game ends. Golden Axe's end credits are arguably the most entertaining of any video game, and offer us a rare glimpse into the developers' psyche. Like this:
Team Shinobi really like their alcohol. Initially I thought they had named only a handful of enemies after beer ingredients – Sergeant Malt, Sergeant Hop, and Colonel Bitter – but upon closer inspection, I was astonished to discover that almost every enemy character had been named after choice lagers and spirits from all around the world. Heninger is just one 'N' away from a German beer, Henninger Premium Lager. General Heartland is named after a Bavarian black lager of the same name.
Storchinaya is a minor mistranslation of Stolichnaya, the famous Russian vodka. Lemanaya – Storchinaya's palette-swapped sister – is simply Lemonaya, Stolichnaya's lemon-flavoured cocktail mixer. Storchinaya's siblings turned out to be more obscure Russian references. Gruziya is another name for Georgia, the former Soviet state, while Strobaya is a Russian restaurant in Tokyo. You might also recognise it as the name of a steroid-bound wrestler in the St. Petersburg level of Strider.
Two characters that aren't named after beers or Russia are the Bad Brothers, who are weirdly reminiscent of the Hammer Brothers from Super Mario Bros. I mean, they're brothers, they wield hammers, and they hang about in Turtle Village…
The credits roll on and so do the hits. You may find this hard to believe, but the usual name for a two-legged dragon with a rooster's head is a "Cockatrice" (Elizabethan literature – long story). The person who put them in Golden Axe probably couldn't be bothered explaining this, and so now we're left with "Chicken-Leg". You may also recognise "Chicken-Leg" from his return appearance in Altered Beast.
The instruction manual calls them something else entirely: Bizarrians. Bizarre but true.
And then there are the diminutive thieves. Apparently the Blue Thief deals in "pot", which might explain the strange sight of lightning, lava, and dragons when you use the stuff. Magic indeed.
Which reminds me, when I've had my fill of magic and there's a Blue Thief doddering about, I always find it fun to kick him down a hole:
Finally we get to our main characters. Ax Battler, you'll be astonished to find, wields no axe at all.
Tyris Flare's weight is not disclosed, because hey, it would be rude to ask her, and, well, look at her! Would you ask her?! Gilius Thunderhead is the most appropriately named of the three; after all, he does pack a rather mighty head-butt.
The guys at Team Shinobi saved the best names for themselves. Software designer "Moto CBX1000" appears to have named himself after his favourite Honda motorbike. "Kyonsy Kyonsy" provided the visual effects for his name, and the game as well. "Decky" the sound designer likes to mix it up. So does Assistant Programmer "Vinyl Boy". "S2" could refer to a Soviet submarine, a Finnish torpedo boat, or a turbo-charged sports car, but in this case it's the name of the other Assistant Programmer. To top it all off, we have Director "Bros 400" (another Honda motorbike!) and Assistant Director "Opa-Opa" (the living, egg-shaped spaceship protagonist from Fantasy Zone!)
Was game development so shameful an occupation in Japan that they feared to attach their real names to such a great game? I'd be kicking myself when resume-writing time rolled around. Sometimes, for peace of mind, I like to imagine that the credits are more like sponsorship deals than roll calls.
In any other game, all of this would be joyless nit-picking, but with Golden Axe it's more like an Easter egg hunt. Every weird habit; every idiosyncrasy; all it does is make me love the game more. It's like finding out your best friend secretly enjoys dressing up potatoes as people; it's only ever going to make them more interesting to be around.
So here's to you, Team Shinobi, for the golden times had and for many, many more in days to come. May you enjoy cold beers in the light of a golden sun, and revel in the game that you have done.

Magry Knits is one of those small, gritty specialty stores that sit in the hip neighborhoods of lower Manhattan. If you want an authentic, hand-spun merino bouclé or a bright-colored "curly-b" mohair, this is where you'd come.
Its owner, Michele Renee, not only spins one-of-a-kind yarns, but also teaches knitting. And since Sept. 11, her business has surged in a way it hasn't before.
"It's been much busier, dramatically, after the 11th," says Ms. Renee, who drives in from Queens. "The first couple of days, I was not allowed to come into the city, but [then] ... people just wanted to come in and talk and knit."
Call it constructive escapism. Tired of the relentless media coverage of terrorism, war, and anthrax, many people are turning to what one study calls "the ritual of small things." Along with everyday activities such as cooking, exercise, and home repair, some people are indulging in massage therapy or changing their hairstyle. Others are rediscovering old hobbies or taking up new ones such as knitting - which, actually, some young people had already been flirting with in the past few years.
"It just takes your mind off stuff," says Bob Johnson, a Queens resident whose hobby is making quilts. "It's kind of hard to find something that removes you totally from just living here. There've only been a few times since 9/11 that I've felt quote unquote 'normal' - or pre-9/11, you could call it." So last weekend, Mr. Johnson picked up some fleece at Jo-Ann Fabrics to begin his first new quilt in more than a year.
While the focus needed to knit or make quilts can provide people like Johnson relief from stress, some are using creative activities to turn inward. In Cincinnati, many people began making graffiti-like posters after the race riots there earlier this year, and now after the Sept. 11 attacks, even more are trying to express emotions through painting.
"On the one hand, people are looking to escape, and just go mindless," says Steve Sunderland, a professor of social work at the University of Cincinnati and the person who began the poster project. "But on the other hand, I think people are saying, 'I want to know what's happening. I want to understand more.' "
A collection of more than 300 posters is currently being displayed in an exhibit called "Posters 4 Peace" at the university.
The process of coping, says Mr. Sunderland, has been in many ways unprecedented. In his grief-counseling practice, he has never seen the kind of prolonged reactions to traumatic events that he has since the terrorist attacks. In New York and the rest of the country, even as people are determined to get back to normal and not let these events affect daily living, those very efforts can erode their sense of balance and harmony.
While there has been a dramatic increase in prescriptions of antidepressants in the past two months, many people are dealing in less self-consciously therapeutic ways.
For example, in an administrative office at Columbia University in New York, some of the workers were surprised one morning when three women showed up with new hairstyles or coloring.
None of them had told the others of their plans, and the coincidence left them laughing.
"It's just so interesting that the salons are packed," says Karen Bressler, a Manhattan-based author who has written books on the city's fashion and fitness culture. She's found that, unlike many other Manhattan businesses, most beauty parlors have actually seen business increase since the attacks.
"A lot of people are getting new looks," says Ms. Bressler, "either totally chopping their hair or changing their hair color because they just need to be distracted. They need to focus on something else, something new."
But for people like Melissa Bolotow, an ad executive who lives two blocks from Magry Knits, a new creative hobby holds appeal. This past weekend, she stepped into the store for her first knitting lesson, trying out her new needles and yarn.
"I'm antsy these days, and I need something to do," says Ms. Bolotow, as Renee instructs her on the proper way to "cast on" the knitting needles. "Everything is making me a little nervous about living in the city. So this is just something to help me relax, but to do something with my time - do something productive."
She hopes she'll eventually be able to knit some sweaters for herself and her friends. As she looks at some pictures of body-pierced clients wearing their hand-knit bodices, she says, "There's just some really interesting, original types of stuff here - gorgeous, unbelievable.
"So maybe it's fashion as well as relaxing," she continues, laughing. "I don't think I'll be knitting potholders or stuff like that."

Carroll County students may not have to make up snow days at the end of the year, but they will have to go to class on Presidents Day and March 11, which was supposed to be a teacher professional day.
The Board of Education voted yesterday to have school on those two days to avoid extending the school year into the third week of June.
They briefly considered having school tomorrow, a scheduled teacher professional day, but decided against that because of the short notice to students and parents.

Yesterday we reported that the Hollywood Reporter reported that Eidos -- reportedly! -- is creating a third Fear Effect game for next-generation systems. The revelation came at the end of a story describing the survival-horror franchise's move to the big screen, possibly courtesy director Stanley Tong.
Today, Eidos offered an official comment on the story, both denying that a third game is actively being created, but offering hope regardless.
"There have been some recent reports that Eidos is developing a third Fear Effect title for next generation consoles," the company said. "Although there is no title currently in development, this is something we are considering at this time and we will update accordingly."
Given that the series will soon become a film, Eidos is almost certainly weighing the advantages of a well-timed game release. Fear Effect fans will have waited a while for more: the last game in the series arrived early in 2001.

Target® C9 Activewear
Bikini season is in full effect, which means it's time to lay off the cupcakes and get moving! I often receive questions about weight-loss and how I manage to stay fit after having a baby. The simplest way of putting it is that I work out to feel good (and for nobody else but myself). I also like to incorporate daily activities into my routine so the process of staying fit doesn't seem so strenuous or overbearing.
After seeing multiple fitness photos on my Instagram, it's probably pretty clear that I love to work out and stay fit. Of course, a girl has to wear cute workout clothes too. I don't know about you guys, but it motivates me when my workout clothes look good and feel great. Therefore, I'm teaming up with Target® to show you how I stay fit over the Summer. The Target® C9 activewear collection is full of cute and dependable workout clothes, the snake-print Sporty Layered Run Tank and Shorts being a few of my favorite pieces. I love the layered tank because it merges a sports bra and tank top into one piece, eliminating the discomfort of bunching or sliding off while I work out. The Target® C9 Run Short has a knit waistband, which is really comfortable even when I'm doing everyday errands or running around with my son.
What I'm rocking:
Some of my favorite ways to workout include:
Rowing – After a Summer stint to New York City, my son and I enjoy canoe rides as a way of enjoying the beautiful weather and views!
P90X3 – 30 minutes of toning, MMX, strength-training, and it's a different workout each day
Walking – Cranking up a good playlist on the iPod and walking over the Venetian bridge allows for a clear head and adds miles of cardio into the day
Yoga or Pilates – When my muscles are aching or I just need a break from exercise, I love to do yoga or Pilates for a peaceful workout
Class FitSugar Target®: Shoulders Exercise – A great shoulder sculpting routine that helps get those "Michelle Obama" arms that every woman dreams of (see video below)
Disclosure: This post was sponsored by Target® C9 through their partnership with POPSUGAR Select. While I was compensated to write a post about Target® C9, all opinions are my own.

Love For Life
Michaels Jewelers' Love for Life Guarantee
Michaels Jewelers guarantees you will love your ring as long as you own it. We will allow the original purchaser of any diamond engagement ring to exchange it for any other item in the store for full credit. This guarantee is designed to give you complete assurance that you have made the right choice.
Price Guarantee
Michaels Jewelers adheres to the highest and strictest standards in the industry as laid out by the American Gem Society (AGS). We offer you the best price first time, every time. We understand there are many jewelers who make unrealistic price claims. Michaels simply states:
If within 100 days, you find a better price on a diamond that comes
with an American Gem Society grading report of equal cut, color,
clarity and carat weight grades, we will either beat that price,
or if you have already purchased the diamond from
Michaels Jewelers, we will refund 120% of the difference.
Why the American Gem Society?
The AGS Performance Cut Grade system is the most technologically advanced, scientifically rigorous and independently vetted cut grade system available in the world. Virtually all Jewelers and Gemologists agree that the cut grade has the most impact on the beauty and value of your diamond. Therefore, only the AGS Cut Grade System would allow for a true and effective comparison.
Quality Guarantee
Michaels Jewelers maintains the most rigid standards of certification, sourcing and pricing practices. All of our diamonds come with a grading report from the American Gem Society, the Gemological Institute of America or Michaels' Accredited Gem Lab. Not only do we guarantee the quality on every grading report, but we further select diamonds that are best in class.
Craftsmanship Guarantee
Michaels Jewelers goes to extreme lengths to ensure that your jewelry has been manufactured to the highest standards. We quality control every item to eliminate the possibility of manufacturing defects. During the first 12 months, should you experience any defect in your purchase that cannot be attributed to unusual use or abuse, we will gladly repair or replace your item to ensure your satisfaction.
Diamond Guarantee
Michaels Jewelers provides you with a lifetime guarantee on the setting of your center diamond. Should your diamond be lost from its setting due to a defect in manufacturing, Michaels Jewelers will replace itup to $5,000*. For this guarantee to remain valid, Michaels Jewelers must have inspected the ring withinthe last 6 months and signed off on the inspection record. Please note precious metals may require some maintenance over the lifetime of your ring. To keep your guarantee valid, the maintenance work must be completed by the Michaels repair center or a previously authorized repair vendor at the consumer's cost. We strongly suggest that all valuables be further protected through the consumer's homeowner's policy; we will provide you an affidavit of purchase detailing the quality of your new purchase that may be submitted to your insurance agent. If you require an updated appraisal, Michaels Jewelers will update the value on a new appraisal for free within 7 years of purchase.
*Michaels Jewelers strongly recommends an insurance policy be purchased with a rider for your diamond engagement ring, as this will usually cover loss/damage regardless of circumstances without the $5,000 limitation.
Trade-In Guarantee
Our Love for Life Guarantee allows for the original purchaser to trade your engagement ring for any other product at full value. After the initial Love for Life has been used or should you wish to upgrade your single diamond earrings, pendants, or rings we will allow full value for the diamond toward a purchase of at least 50% more.
Additional Services

Mari Hsieh is a quick study.
Last year, the then-junior decided to turn out for the Glacier Peak girls swimming and diving team two weeks after the season had started. Even though she didn't have any prior diving experience, she soon became one of Wesco's best divers. She finished 11th at the 2016 4A state meet and is aiming for a top-five finish this fall.
"She's what I would call a deceptively strong athlete," said Grizzlies diving coach Marc Hughes. "She doesn't look like a traditional diver — she's tall and slender, and has a wiry kind of strength. She's got a good ability to find the bottom of the dive, and nice form; she leaves a great lasting impression on the judges. I think she has untapped potential in her. I think she could dive collegiately and (succeed)."
Here are five things to know about Hsieh:
Friends and family led her to diving. "My best friend on the (swimming) team, Ryzele Lagdaan, I did gymnastics with her when I was younger," Hsieh said. "My mom wanted me to start diving after I quit gymnastics and cheerleading, and I didn't have a sport. She thought it might be a good fit. She persuaded me to try out, and Ryzele played a big part in me going further with it."
Her biggest challenge as new diver? Going in head-first. "It was scary at first because I wasn't used to it. It felt a little weird," she said. "As a gymnast you're used to landing on your feet. But I was able to pick it up quickly because of my background in other sports. I actually like doing it now that I'm more comfortable with it."
Her cheerleading background has helped her on the diving board. Hsieh started competitive cheerleading when she was 10. Two days per week, she drives to Bellevue after diving practice to train with the Connect Cheer Northwest squad. "I like the competitive and performing aspects (of cheerleading)," she said. "I get to work with a bunch of other people toward the same goal. And it involves acrobatics, tumbling and dance, things I enjoy. Having that background — and that air awareness — has definitely helped me (diving)."
She'd like to study business in college. She's a member of Glacier Peak's chapter of DECA, an international association of business students and educators. "We do competitions at the state and national level," Hsieh said. "You get put into a bunch of situations — marketing, advertising, buying, selling — and you have to prepare and compete against other students in different events. In the class, there's a lot of social (scenarios), and communication is necessary. I'm a people person, so it's just a good fit for me."
She finds ways to stay busy. "During the summer I wakeboard," she said. "Any free time I have, I try to hang out with friends. I'm involved in school — I got to football games and things like that. I'm a pretty social person. On the (swimming) team I've gotten to know a whole new group of people, and I've made some super-close friends."

Malaysia offers some of the cheapest cosmetic surgery available, according to International Living. In Malaysia, a standard face lift can cost about $2,500 compared to $12,500 in the United States.
The high cost of plastic surgery in the U.S. sends some Americans overseas in search of lower prices. Several countries offer excellent medical care at very low prices. The country with perhaps the lowest costs is Malaysia. This is a former British colony considered by International Living to have medical care equal to many Western countries with a reputation for the most affordable treatment. In fact, Malaysia is a hot spot for plastic surgery, gynecology, urology, orthopedics and cardiology care. This is all at a cost that is much less for treatment compared to the U.S., even with flights, food and hotel stays factored into the trip.
Other countries with extremely low medical costs and quality medical care include Panama, Costa Rica and Mexico. According to International Living, many Panamanian doctors are trained in the U.S. and speak good English. Costa Rica is one of the top five most visited countries for medical tourism, while Mexico is a close trip for patients and still offers lower prices compared to American medical treatments and cosmetic surgeries.

Fresh out of varsity, I found myself in a working environment and soon discovered it's not the actual work that causes rifts and misunderstandings between colleagues. I sometimes wonder if it's perhaps my age, and being confined in a professional space with fellow women old enough to be my mother.
Personally I love women, and I look up to them. I was pleased to be around them because it meant I would learn from people who've also been young and in my position. I thought that they too could relate to me because they may have faced the same challenges every young career woman faces. Sadly I discovered this isn't so – the reality is in fact the opposite.
It seems like no amount of hard work, great input, or professional conduct matters or is even respected by fellow women. In fact if there's anything they are judging you on, your work is not part of it. It's more likely to be your appearance or personal life. How can any of this be of great importance, in fact why should it be?
In my experience the actual work I'm expected to do is easy, but often it's women who try to make it impossible for other women. I am so troubled by the lies career women spread about fellow women colleagues. We want to be known for our brains and work, and yet we are focused on each other's private affairs, hair, nails and clothes. In fact we'd rather not acknowledge and applaud each other's good work, but instead spread unnecessary harmful rumors about each other.
Why do women we look up to as young professionals sometimes attempt to make our working environment difficult? Why do women with great knowledge and experience sabotage younger women, rather than attempt to inspire them? Are we a threat to one another?

By Chris Busch, BlueGreen Alliance
The BlueGreen Alliance was pleased to have a presence last week in South Korea at the invitation of the U.S. Embassy as part of the State Department's Speaker and Specialist Program. With this opportunity, we were able to fully present our unique model for broadening support for green job growth beyond the environmental community. Korea has achieved rapid economic growth and infrastructure development, and continues to gallop forward today. From labor unions to local and state government to researchers and students to NGOs, we were able to showcase the successes of BGA forging cooperation between unionists and environmentalists.
There are increasing links between the U.S. and South Korea (the Republic of Korea), including the announcement on October 10 of a new agreement establishing the U.S.-Korea Clean Energy Technology Partnership aiming to strengthen bilateral cooperation in clean energy technology research and development. The two countries are also collaborating to promote mutually beneficial green growth. In 2010, Korea launched a green growth strategy that includes reducing heat-trapping emissions by 30 percent from the current trajectory, vehicle fuel economy standards, and a domestic emission trading program.
In addition to Korea's commitments to leading on green growth and reducing global warming pollution, more Koreans graduate from college than in the U.S. while 90 percent of their population has access to broadband compared to our 65 percent. Which points out a valuable insight: if we fail to make the investments in infrastructure and education that will sustain our future sustainable prosperity, this generation will be the first to leave next in a less favorable position. America has much to be proud of but ignoring our fraying infrastructure and troubled school systems is a sure recipe for decline.
A consistent theme across audiences was frustration with the lack of U.S. action and involvement on climate change. Other countries are looking for the U.S. both to do more domestically to reduce our emissions and want the U.S. to be playing more of a leadership role in the international arena. While acknowledging the need for more progress at the federal level, there has been more happening than most audiences outside of the U.S. probably recognize. For example, under the Recovery Act, the government invested $93 billion in renewable energy and energy upgrades, and have increased vehicle emission standards under Clean Air Act authority.
Everyone was pleased to hear about the continued forward progress on combating climate change in California, with the adoption just this year of a 33 percent Renewable Electricity Standard and 75 percent recycling standard, as called for in the California Apollo Program. Also front and center was the No on Prop 23 campaign, which strongly rejected a challenge to California's framework Global Warming Solutions. After Prop 23 failed, more California votes than ever (73 percent agreed with the statement that "California can reduce greenhouse gases and expand jobs and economic prosperity at the same time."
Sometimes the challenges seem almost insurmountable as we struggle to make the case for an effective responsible to our American jobs crisis. Though forging agreement among diverse groups isn't easy, we can't let up in our efforts to promote measures like Jobs 21! and the President's jobs plan. This trip is a reminder our unique labor-environmental partnership has a crucial role to play in responding to the moral imperative of our unemployment emergency and in restoring American leadership in the endeavor to put the planet on a path to sustainable prosperity.

Din flagellates are primarily unicellular aquatic organisms that typically occur as biflagellate motile cells. At ascertain stage of their life cycle, several marine din flagellates produce non-motile cells surrounded by calcareous wall. Calcareous din flagellates constitute an important group of the marine calcareous phytoplankton and their cysts are subject to an increasing number of palaeoenvironmental studies. However, fundamental biological and ecological characteristics of these organisms are yet unknown.Neritic and oceanic habitats are characterised by different species. Neurotic species produce calcareous resting cysts, within the sexual reproduction cycle. In cultures, the motile stage is the dominant phase and resting cystproduction occurs only when the conditions for vegetative growth are unfavourable. By contrast, in the most abundant oceanic species (Thoracosphaera hemi) the calcareous stage is dominant and is formed during the vegetative cycle. Apart from T. hemi, approximately 10 other extant oceanic species exist. There are strong indications that these species also calcify in their vegetative stage, as they show a constant production of calcareous non-motile cells that make up more than 50 % of all specimens within a culture under normalconditions.DINO-CULT will test the hypothesis of a shift in the life cycle of oceanic calcareous din flagellates, through which the calcareous stage became dominant. Policy investigations on motile and non-motile stages of cultures will reveal when in the life cycle calcareous tests are produced. The effect of environmental parameters (e.g. light, temperature, nutrients) on cyst production will be investigated in experiments under controlled laboratory conditions and the results will be applied in a palaeoenvironmental case study on the S1 saprobe of the Mediterranean Sea.
The basic biological and ecological approach has a twofold benefit: it will provide a bettering#

Jefferson Starship + Mark FarnerName: Jefferson Starship + Mark FarnerDate: October 20, 2017Time: 8:00 PM - 11:00 PM EDTWebsite: http://www.blueoceanhall.comEvent Description:

About Jefferson Starship
Jefferson Starship rose from the ashes of another legendary San Francisco band, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees, Jefferson Airplane. Founder Paul Kantner (who died in January 2016 at age 74) knew that combining powerful creative forces, personalities and talents could create something far greater than the sum of its parts.
Featuring original and historic members David Freiberg (also a founder of San Francisco luminaries Quicksilver Messenger Service) and drummer Donny Baldwin, along with longtime members Chris Smith on keyboards and synth bass, Jude Gold on lead guitar and GRAMMY Nominee Cathy Richardson anchoring the female lead vocal spot made famous by the inimitable Grace Slick (who invited her to sing in her place as Jefferson Airplane accepts their Lifetime Achievement Award at the GRAMMY Merit Awards Concert.)
The music that defined a generation and spanned decades is alive and well and more relevant than ever in pop culture- songs such as Volunteers, White Rabbit, Wooden Ships, Somebody to Love, Today, Miracles, Count on Me, Fast Buck Freddie, Jane and Find Your Way Back continue to reverberate throughout the collective consciousness today.
About Mark Farner
Legendary all-American frontman and guitarist Mark Farner was the engine that pulled the original Grand Funk Railroad to the top of the charts, and today he's a platinum recording artist 30 times over. At age 67, Farner commands the stage with the same intensity and outpouring of love as he did at 20 during the summer of '69, and his fans are still flocking to their captain. The rock patriot's synergy and open heart come through in epic hits that defined a generation—"I'm Your Captain (Closer to Home)," "We're An American Band," a recut of "The Loco-Motion," and "Some Kind of Wonderful"— and "rock star" is only one facet of this Michigan-born son's legacy. Farner is also about as real as they get: He's a husband, in his fourth decade of marriage to wife Lesia. He's a family man with five adult sons. And he's a caregiver.
The band topped the Billboard Chart with the anthem "We're an American Band" (1973) and 1974's "The Loco-Motion." The Flint, Mich., trio reached the top 10 with "Some Kind of Wonderful" (No. 3) and "Bad Time" (No. 4) before GFR disbanded for the first time in 1976. Although Farner joined up with the band during its 1980s and 1990s reunifications and has collaborated with other artists over the years, he's forged an enduring solo career focused on bringing a message of love to his fans in all corners.
Farner's work on and off the stage is focused on honoring service personnel and veterans and offering support to American farmers, individuals with disabilities, and downtrodden populations. Farner, the rock patriot that he is, works tirelessly to honor service personnel and Veterans everywhere. He wants everyone to remember the huge sacrifices the men and women of our armed services give up to protect our amazing country and our freedoms.
