And yes, you could also make the case that Fidlar's success was meant to be. Even before the Kuehns hit puberty, Elvis, 21 and Max, 20, had already played with
punk legends like the Adolescents, the Adicts and the Germs. Now that they've signed a record deal with Mom & Pop, and are hitting Santa Ana for the Burger Records show at the Observatory on Saturday, their dad Greg talks about just how proud he is of his children.
OC Weekly: Here's an easy one to start. Do you like Fidlar's music?
Greg Kuehn: I love it, they're my favorite band in the whole world.
Were you surprised that your kids went into music and are now getting a lot of attention?
I wasn't surprised…it seemed like a natural thing for them to do. They loved music from an early age–they've been doing it a long time already! And I always thought they'd have some success at it because of the Diffs, their earlier band. They're both really talented musicians, so it's great that they're doing what they want to do. It's what we all hope for, you know?
Back in the day T.S.O.L. had a reputation for tearing things up, and now Fidlar's doing the same thing. What do you think of that?
Here's the thing. When I started out in T.S.O.L., I was their age. So it's age-appropriate stuff. We (T.S.O.L.) still play but I do music for TV and movies mostly, and I have other bands. And now, T.S.O.L. is such a little slice of what I've done–and I still love it, I still do it, but I would say that what Fidlar doing is what you should be doing at that age. And my kids have been doing this since they were 11–they toured with the Adicts, opened for the Germs, Adolescents and Agent Orange. They were the hidden secret of punk rock. They were influenced by West Coast punk rock, from 1978 to 1981. They loved that music. And those were the guys that, when I was 19, I was playing in bands with! So Fidlar is the perfect place for them to be. They're having fun, writing great songs, and playing great shows. It's honest youth music.
Do you think T.S.O.L. and Fidlar are very similar?
Fidlar can set up at a party with one plug and play a great show. They don't care, they don't need a big production. And there's a DIY aesthetic that carries throught for both bands. Like, fuck it, we'll release our own records. We'll book our own shows. We'll play a house. We don't need a booker, promoter. We don't need anybody, we can do it ourselves. That's what punk rock originally was, how it was for us in T.S.O.L. That's DIY. We don't need your whole industry, your whole system.
And it's interesting with the change in the record business, they don't even care about all that. They're like, whatever, we'll put out out a 7-inch. We don't care if the industry is crashing, we'll do what we do and figure out a way to make it work. And ironically, they have a record deal! (Laughs.) It's like when you don't care and do it from the heart, cause it matters to you, then things start to happen. They're not calculated, they don't care about making it. I'm really proud of them for that.
What do your friends and contemporaries think of Fidlar?
All my friends love Fidlar. They're universally loved because they're really genuine. And they're a kick-ass punk garage surf band. I love all the boys in the band; they've all been coming to our house even before they were a whole band.
And besides, [with my kids]–we have the same DNA. If they write a song I'm going to like it. That's just the way it is. I'm locked in. When I hear a Fidlar song, I know where they're going with it. It's automatic. But everybody seems to love them. I can't say anything bad about them. They're great! They're my favorite band! I love their songs, I love to see them play, I love what they do. Obviously I'm biased but I can't think of a band I like better–especially not a new band–but I'd rather see Fidlar than anybody.
They're all really good musicians, and they're so good that they don't overplay. That's the mark of a mature musician–there's a lot of guys who can play well and are technical masters of their instrument, but just want to show off. [Fidlar] have been musicians for so long, they just play what's necessary, what the song needs. So what stands out is the essence of the song, and you can hear the nuances of the instruments.
And when they play a show, they're one unit. And that's what amazes me. They're very musically mature. .. it's funny cause they have songs about beer and stuff, but they all really understand music well and they play as a unit together, so when they play, they're locked together and they're like a machine. I admire that so much about my kids. They don't show off as musicians, even though they're really skilled. They show their talents in subtle ways and they serve the music. To have that maturity at such a young age is really impressive to me.
What were Elvis and Max like as kids?
They were really good kids, they played a lot of sports. I play a lot now–I'm in Suedehead too and the Black Diamond Riders, and I have a fun musical things going on, I have that record The Great Unwashed with Duane Peters. But when they were young I wasn't playing a whole lot live. So we did all the sports–soccer, basketball and music. They were just like normal kids. But at some point the music turned on. By the time they were 8 or 9 it was on for them as musicians; they wanted to see live bands, they were digging through my records and listening to the Germs. I didn't push this punk rock stuff on them at all. They just discovered it on their own.
So it wasn't crazy in your house, since you and your kids were in punk bands?
We don't have an anarchic household because we're in punk bands…there's a lot of band stuff going on, but we were fairly strict parents, we keep them on the right path.
It's funny; not a lot of people know it, but Elvis is going to graduate from Cal State Long Beach with a degree in composition. The kid works so hard; he handles a lot of the business stuff for Fidlar and he's a serious composer. He'll be staying up all night writing cello parts, then will be up the next morning doing mastering sessions for Fidlar. And he is a great keyboardist too so he's playing the Hammond organ on someone's record…he's really busy.
And people say Fidlar got so big so fast, but these kids are veterans. They've been in bands since they were 10. That's a serious commitment. They were on tour when they were in high school, with the Adicts. Their childhood might not be typical, but it was still structured. Playing music was so much fun that we did all we could to encourage them.
I suppose you had to drive them to a lot of their shows because they were underage.
[Laughs.] Max is still not 21, and he plays at Alex's Bar and he still can't stay! He's 20! So he'll be 21 in July, and he can't wait. Sometimes a fake ID works but not always. He's a couple–like maybe five–and at some point they get taken away. But I took him downtown to get a fake ID because I get it, he's an adult, he should be able to hang out at a show at least, you know? So I didn't have a problem with that.
But they both live at home and they're older now, so I'm kind of an executive parent in a way. We still talk a lot and I'm still involved in their lives but they're grown men, it's more overview parenting, I'm just there for them, help them navigate in a way. I get to be there and enjoy it all. I'm so proud of them.
Do they ever ask you for musical advice?
My kids are really good. They know what they're doing, and they don't really need me involved. But we do share [what we're doing]–I probably care more about their opinion than they do about mine! [Laughs.] But they're really capable, so they don't anyone holding their hand and telling them what to do.
I'm blessed to be as involved as I am their lives…because just the idea of my parents coming to one of my shows when I was 18, when T.S.O.L. was playing "Code Blue," was scary. I didn't want my parents coming to that!
Fidlar will perform at Burgerama with Off!, Wavves, Strange Boys, White Fence, King Tuff
and many more at the Observatory, 3503 S. Harbor Blvd., Santa Ana. Sat.,
5 pm. $15-$25. All ages. observatoryoc.com.

Today The Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling is joined by TNA IMPACT Wrestling star, Robbie E. Fresh off of Bound for Glory and all the crazy speculation regarding TNA's future, Robbie joins John and Chad for an interesting to say the least chat and pulling no punches on how he feels about TNA's immediate future and all of the nay-sayers that constantly try to bring down all that TNA has been able to accomplish in the last year. The full episode as well as the entire Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling archive can be downloaded at this link.
"It's the biggest pay per view of the year and it was great from top to bottom. Everyone always works their asses off. The crowd was magical and electric and the building was rocking. It is cool because everyone always has their best gear on and it was a special night for a lot of people."
What is the vibe amongst the TNA locker room with all of the rumors and the speculation of its future dominating the headlines:
"Just what it has always been. I think people think wrestlers read the internet more than they actually do. Maybe some do but I'm just not a wrestler who does stuff like that. I don't do like "internet stuff" so I look at it all differently than other people do. I think mood is always awesome at TNA. Why wouldn't it be? We are getting paid to be wrestlers and we all live in nice houses and drive nice cars (at least I do) and why wouldn't we all be in a good mood?"
The rumors of TNA imminently closing
"The thing is do you know when I'll worry about when TNA closes? When TNA closes. Until then, who cares? Over the past six years every other month people are saying it is closing and why are you saying this? The thing is in 2016 I guess it's just cool because it's not just TNA it is just what people do in general and it is be negative and it is cool for them to do. People just bash stuff and be negative and that sucks."
Does it bother him that people continually try to bury TNA:
"No, because if they are talking it is better than if they are not talking. Let them bury you at least the name TNA is coming out of their mouth. They may not realize it but they are actually helping us by talking about it."

Senate asks DOJ to issue hold departure order vs Paule
The Senate blue ribbon committee has asked the Department of Justice to issue a hold departure order (HDO) against businessman Jaime Paule, one of the alleged conspirators of the P728-million fertilizer fund scam.
Independent Senator Richard J. Gordon, committee chairman, made the request for HDO in a formal letter he sent to Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez aimed to prevent Paule from fleeing the country while he is still under investigation by the Senate.
"We have to request for a hold departure order because we have to make sure that Mr. Paule does not leave the country while he is still under investigation," he said.
Gordon said the committee is taking all necessary actions so as not to give the witnesses a chance to flee from the Senate's probe.
He noted that the Senate had been searching for Paule to testify before the hearings of the blue ribbon and agriculture committees of the 13th Congress, while the blue ribbon committee under his leadership also had a hard time looking for him since there are several other Jimmy Paules in the records of the National Bureau of Investigation
Gordon added that it was through the committee's arrest order that prompted Paule to finally surrender to the Senate last Dec. 23 and testify before the panel yesterday.
The senator explained that Paule has been evasive and testifying falsely during the course of last Tuesday's hearing as proven by the statements of almost all the other witnesses present in the inquiry.
The Senate committee is set to decide today whether to cite Paule in contempt and detain him, along with Marilyn Araos, who were both evasive in answering the panel's questions thrown at them.
"The members of the committee agreed that Paule has been very evasive. It is the same with Araos. So depending on the consensus of the committee members, Paule and Araos may be cited in contempt," Gordon said.
While Paule maintained that he does not know Araos and that he never worked with Marites Aytona for the Department of Agriculture's farm input-farm implement project, the two witnesses testified in contrast.
Araos, the sole signatory in the bank account of Feshan Philippines, said she was ordered by Paule to open a bank account for Feshan Philippines, the biggest supplier in the project, and sign blank checks for the company.
She added that Paule threatened her that she would lose her job if she would refuse to comply with his orders. Araos is a "runner" for the said project for local government units in Regions III and IV, where she gets one percent commission for every transaction.
For her part, Aytona said it was Paule who asked her to make project proposals and was the one giving out instructions on which foundations would be accredited for the project.
Meanwhile, Leonicia Llarena, owner of Dane Publishing, also testified that it was Paule who approached him to seek assistance in issuing checks for the project. Both Llarena and Paule and their respective families had been friends for some time.
Gordon said a case for false testimony could be filed against Paule.
"It is possible that a false testimony case may be filed against him (Paule). Wala siyang pinapakita kundi denial. Ang false testimony pag na-prove yan, makukulong siya," he said.

As part of a series of blog posts on , this blog post introduces the open source library . Here, we use this library to define a Chaos experiment (using ) that illustrates the impact that auto-downing can have when an Akka cluster is subjected to network partitioning. The previous post Can Real World Distributed Systems be Proven Correct? motivates and explains the need for performing fault injection on distributed applications. In future posts, we will consider more realistic use cases than considered here - so please stay tuned!
Let's expand our random
Person generator to include keep track of the count of people generated and to write out some values during the generating process. For motivation, let's say we want to see not just the list of
Persons, but also keep track of some tracing messages, and to see some sequence number while we are generating.
I left a dirty secret lurking in my previous post about 2 phase authentication with text messages. I hope many of you felt uneasy reading the
val secret = generateSecret line. The
generateSecret thing has no place in purely functional code. It does some weird side-effect wizardry and computes values that are always different. Read on to find out how to keep tabs on the dirty secrets (and other IO) in your code.
Before I get into a streamlined version of today's issue, I'd like to discuss the elephant in the room..
Just a short post before bed-time. I've added support for iteratees and composition for the different operations you may want to support. It is actually very useful. Let me demonstrate on a short example:

Here's how.
From within Safari, browse the website you want to make an icon for and hit the share button up at the top. It's the one that looks like a box with an arrow coming out of it.
Once the share box pops up, you'll see an option in the middle – Add to home screen. Tap it, name the shortcut (or don't – there's a name in there by default), and click add.

Age of the Dragons
The Lost Past
This is a very brief overview of the history of this world. Much of recorded history was lost during the exodus during the Great Winter – this page will be expanded as you discover lost tomes and expand your knowledge of the time before the Age of Dragons. Much of the information that you do have has been passed only by word of mouth, or from Tomes with histories written from a single person's – obviously skewed – perspective. Take anything you find about the past with a grain of salt, it may be more than meets the eye…
The Age of Creation
In the beginning, the creators came to this world and and let life flow into it. At first they let it flow as it would, creating the plants, animals, and primal spirits of the world. Then, when the world was ready, the creator gods fashioned the races of intelligence. While most information on these creator gods has long since vanished, bits and pieces have been recovered to paint an image of who they were. The biggest testament to their existence is a massive obsidian obelisk dedicated to Palinthal on the Isle of Caldum in the Rising Sea. Some believe it was these Creators who imprisoned the Demons and Devils in the Hells, while others still say that they were there before even the Creators came. What has been gathered is that these creators were worshiped in much the same way that the Deities are now.
Age of the Primals
The creator gods then left, died, or otherwise disappeared. There are very few records of what happened to them – and those accounts they have discovered often contain conflicting information. The mortal races had nobody to guide them, and they began to follow the Primal Spirits. During this time a deep respect for nature was observed, but not much else is known as most of what information has been found of this age is simply worship rituals to the Fae and the elementals.
Age of the Gods
Sometime later the first of the Gods ascended to the Heavens and claimed power over the domains of the world. Nobody knows where or how they acquired their power, nor whether they were ever mortals to begin with. All that is known is that they arrived and began to shepherd mortals as their followers. For centuries this went on until The Fall occurred, and they bargained their access to the world in an attempt to keep the Demons and Devils out.
Age of the Mages
In the absence of the direct presence of the gods, a new age of mortals arose – the Age of Mages where the world was ruled by the power of magic. Great cities were built that last to this day. Items of untold power were forged. Knowledge progressed – it was a renaissance, and among the greatest times of the world. It was during this era that the Orcs were created by powerful mages, perfect warriors designed to fight wars for them and prevent the loss of civilized mortal life.
Age of the Winter
Then, a great winter struck and cast the land in ice and snow for hundreds of years. Most of the races of man went underground for warmth. The knowledge of the past was left behind – most notably powerful magic. Many believe it was the awakening of the Dragons that terrorize the world to this day that brought about the winter. Some believe that mages transformed themselves into them, while others believe they fought to protect man against them. In truth nobody knows where the Dragons or the Winter came from. We only know the death that they both brought to the world.
Age of the Dragons
As the glaciers receded man re-emerged from the depths to discover that not all had died on the surface. The Orcs had survived and formed a culture of their own. A new race was discovered as well – the Dragonborn – and though many of them still follow their dragon, increasingly more are leaving to find their way in the world of mortals. Now we resettle the ruins of an civilization steeped in magic we cannot re-create, while defending ourselves against the dragons and their minions.

6th Age 304: Several tribes of Orcs in the The Coldlands unite under a single banner. The Gashna Warpath begins.
6th Age 308: The Kingdom of Highmere is conquered by Gildas
6th Age 314: The combined armies of several city states push back the Orcs of the Gashna Warpath by slaying their Warcheif, Gashna. The tribes disperse.
6th Age 315: Several city-states form The High Marches – a league of mutual protection.
6th Age 446: Emberpeak, in The High Marches erupts. Several small nearby settlements are laid to waste.

Finding your gloves
Receivers and running backs should purchase flexible, soft gloves that have some tackiness (stickiness) to them, since they need to handle the ball a lot.
Linebackers and defensive backs should look for gloves that are heavily padded on the top but at the same time a flexible, and sticky glove
The linemen constantly smashing into each other in the trenches 60 times a game, may need a little more. So for the linemen more gloves are available, thick padding covers the back of the hand, knuckles and fingers, but still leaving the palm with a grip surface in case there is a fumble to recover.

Many Americans no longer realize that there was serious opposition to the Constitution when it was first drafted. Much of the early opposition grew out of a widely felt concern that it lacked specific protections for the liberty and freedom of individual Americans. These concerns were eventually put to rest by the addition of the Bill of Rights—the first ten amendments to the Constitution.
It is significant that the first freedom protected by the first adopted amendment was religion. The First Amendment also protects freedom of speech, the press, assembly, and the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances. But the fact that religion came first demonstrates the importance America's Constitutional Fathers placed on that foundational belief.
The First Amendment—though brief and to the point—is a powerful statement of freedom and liberty containing some of the most significant words ever written by man.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Trending: Migrant Caravan Marches to Border, Invoking POTUS by Name
Yet this brief declaration—clearly written— continues to be one of the most controversial of all of the Constitutional Amendments. Yet ongoing controversy over the First Amendment and religious freedom persists.
The Framers of the Constitution clearly intended to prevent the establishment of a national religion; as was the Church of England, which also was and is headed by the British Monarch. The Framers feared was an overbearing government requiring them to join and financially support a specific church ruled by the government; something America's original settlers came here to escape. They were not, as modern-day detractors such as the ACLU now claim, concerned about Americans openly worshipping God or that religion would be part of the very lifeblood of their newly formed nation.
But over the past several decades, freedom OF religion has morphed into freedom FROM religion as atheists and other nonreligious groups have purposefully bent the original intent of the First Amendment to mean that religion in all of its forms—observances, symbols, prayer, songs, monuments, etc.—must be expunged from the public square. As freedom-from-religion advocates have gained hegemony in the judicial and socio-political arenas, religious groups in America—particularly Christians—have experienced their own religious liberties being suppressed and even denied. Prayer in schools, at graduations, before ballgames, and before public meetings is constantly challenged by the ACLU and atheist groups. Christian business owners continue to be fined, jailed, and/or lose their livelihoods for failing to violate their religious beliefs. And Christian symbols on public buildings continue to be eradicated.
The so-called "establishment clause" of the First Amendment has been stretched to the breaking point by groups whose purpose is to use the Constitution as a weapon to destroy religious freedom rather than a tool to protect it.

Are you one of the world's best rising photographers? With the deadline for the D&AD Next Photographer Award 2017 quickly approaching, we asked a few of this year's judges to weigh in on what, in their eyes, makes someone stand out as the industry's next rising star.
Andy Saunders, Vice President of Creative at Getty Images; Katy Niker, owner and director at Burnham Niker photography agents; Martin Usborne, east London-based photographer and co-founder of Hoxton Mini Press, publisher and writer and Emma Bowkett, Director of Photography at the Financial Times, opened up on the challenges and importance of being original, what makes a great entry and what they'd do if they swapped places with this year's applicants.
Finding Originality
Total originality in itself may seem daunting if not nearly impossible in today's photography world, but Katy Niker had some advice for how to pull out a unique point of view.
"The key to originality in any medium is the artist's own mind." she said, "They can also pull from age, or the experiences they've had in their life."
Niker is a strong believer that a portfolio, regardless of the age or experience of the photographer, will evolve as the person does. To help her photographers who are having a difficult time understanding or communicating their own perspective, she challenges them by asking the following:
"Imagine you had no way of visually showing someone any of your work, and they ask you to describe what you're about, not your genre, but what is the essence of what you're trying to achieve?"
"The world is so saturated in pictures," added Martin Usborne, "much of them technically perfect, that what counts is uniqueness. To do this I think photographers have to be honest with themselves and willing to expose something raw about themselves. It's fairly easy to see when something is authentic."
Andy Saunders elaborated on this, explaining that he's looking for someone who is able to see the world from a very individual perspective, and also has the ability to communicate this point of view effectively through their work.
"It's a combination of originality and power," he said. "Great ideas are rarely easy to photograph, so it's someone who can bring that vision to life through the skill and artfulness of their imagery that becomes successful."
A Consistent Narrative
Strong, style-centered storytelling emerged as another theme for our judges. Niker described portfolios as book-like.
"Good portfolios tell the story of how the photographer wants to be understood, creatively," she said.
In addition to a solid narrative, Emma Bowkett emphasized the importance of a sense of freshness in a portfolio, as well as a prominent visual language. The necessity of a strong, clear concept and language uncovers the value of what the judges described as consistency across a submission.
"Consistency and creative quality of the imagery across a submission is all important," Saunders said. "All of the images submitted should play a part in supporting the narrative or helping create the idea."
In other words, the most frustrating thing a judge can encounter in a situation like evaluating entries for the D&AD Next Photographer Award 2017 is an obvious talent whose images don't come together well as a cohesive series or work well as a unit, as this is a crucial part of the decision they will later have to make.
Be confident in yourself and what it is you're trying to communicate with your work; it's an easy and (nearly) fail-proof way to grab the attention of the panel. A clear concept and a fresh approach to an ultimately coherent group of images are what will impress your judges.
"The photographers that most impress me," Niker said, "are those that are able to bring their own individual perspective on an object, situation or person, and combine that with a strong personal style."
Want to be a future D&AD Next Photographer Award Pencil-winner? There's no age limit to enter, and you can submit any type of photography, both commercial and personal. Find out more at D&AD – deadline for entry is February 22, 2017.

This is probably going to cost me followers, but this blog was set up so that I could be as honest as I possibly can while preserving my anonymity. This anonymity has previously existed because I have depression and I don't want corporate clients getting frightened and either not contacting me or breaking off existing commissions. Now, I'm glad of it for reasons that are going to become fairly obvious over the next few paragraphs.
Like Grayson Perry, I like wearing what are conventionally seen as being women's clothes. I don't care for makeup, although I've tried it, and I don't feel a pressing need to pretend I have breasts or wear, heaven forbid, a bra. This doesn't make me trans, because I like having a penis and like various aspects of being a man, albeit not a hugely butch one. Appearances can be deceptive and, while I might look like a large and menacing six footer, in Blackadder's words, 'from the rough end of the trench,' I'm rather caring and have never punched anyone else in my life.
My transvestism is partly sexual. I get an epic erotic charge from putting on a girdle and a pair of stockings like you wouldn't believe. It's as though the confines of my maleness have suddenly been magnificently exceeded and I'm at liberty to be who I want to be. The person who wears jeans or scruffy trousers from day to day is doing what he needs to do to avoid censure and to avoid making others in some way complicit in what is for me a deeply sexual act. The only person I want seeing me in what I'll tentatively call my 'female' state are people I'm intimate with. Nobody else has a role. And, just in case you think I'm gay, I'm not. I'm tediously and utterly straight.
What is starting to bother me, however, is the times when I'm wearing female clothing and not aroused. If this was an exclusively sexual quirk, that'd be one thing. I could live with that, as I've lived with thinking that I'm a disgusting deviant since I was a teenager and the urge to dress differently became almost insurmountable. But, to my utter and existential horror, I now find that there are times when I dress in female clothes and don't feel the urge to be sexual, but just more comfortable and happier. I do the stuff I normally do, only in partly female clothes. That, in its limited way, seems like enough.
I'm not suggesting that I will ever, and I repeat, ever, do this in public. While it still feels like a partly sexual act, I have zero desire, as I said, to make anyone else complicit in it. Were times to change radically and for it to be acceptable for men to dress wholly how they wanted, then I may want to do that, but everything would need to change in society and everything would need to change between my ears first. Until that happens, men wear what society tells us to and for all that seems monstrously unfair, such is life.
For now, I have to content myself with cheering people on from a distance. I've already mentioned Grayson Perry, a man who I think is as spectacular and magisterial a genius as these islands have ever produced. A copy of his partial autobiography is unread on my shelves, unread precisely for the reason that I'm afraid of it. Will I find support for the strange thoughts that go around in my head, or will I find censure? When I went to the recent commemoration of the homophobic shootings in London, on Old Compton Street, I saw a man dressed in female clothes. After the two seconds of initial shock has subsided, I wanted to hug him. Clearly, I did't. It would look patronising and seem ridiculous and a rebuff would have killed me.
The people brave enough to take convention, laugh at it and wear what they want have earned my undying respect. They are magnificent. And they are magnificent because they don't care about the gender binary. They borrow from both and don't care who wants to censure them, because as soon as you stop caring, it's liberating. Short of someone you beating you into the gutter, arguably because he wants to have sex with you and hates himself, there's nothing that censure can do. When they walk past someone who is stony faced, that stony faced person could well be me, adopting the face he feels he needs to wear, but inwardly cheering them on.
I've heard enough patronising bullcrap spouted about crossdressing in Christian circles to sick up my own pelvis. People think it's 'sad' or that it's a personal failing. One of the people that I used to Street Pastor with said that a man wearing female clothes had sought protection from bullies, and that wasn't it regrettable he needed to do that. I should have said that I thought that was bollocks and that that all the opprobrium rested with the bullies. I didn't. To the irritatingly pious woman from Holy Trinity Brompton who talked with simpering sadness about a man she knew who wore women's clothes, I nodded. I should have thrown back my head and vomited over her and her tasteful outfit.
Blogs don't resolve anything. They simply pull out a conflict that was in the blogger's mind and show it to you. And this is the conflict in mine. The sexual, transgressive charge is undoubted, the comfort comes as a growing realisation. Neither, perhaps, will ever be fully reconciled. But to those brave and precious few, Grayson Perry and all the others doomed to fight in obscurity, may you know nothing but happiness and acceptance.

In my last coaching session with Christine, she casually remarked that it seemed to her that I easily put other people on exalted pedestals, while playing down my own expertise and value. Ouch. Did I tell you that, in my experience, coaches are not warm fuzzies?
But then again, no one could say I was being selfish, right? Isn't being "selfish" the worst insult?
No one I know spends her every day at the spa, getting daily massages and beauty treatments. I imagine those ladies exist somewhere, but my buddies all work extremely hard serving others in one capacity or another. Some of them get a lot of money for what they do, and others not so much.
Spending time at the spa does not necessarily correlate with value allocation. But most definitely, if you value yourself, other people in your life will follow your lead. They will either value you as well, or step into the background.
If you appreciate yourself, good things happen. You can give more, perform better, break negative patterns in your life and live from a deeper level of contentment.
By consistently burning the candle at both ends, failing to take special care of yourself, people assume, not that you're waiting for a rescue, but that you actually enjoy being a masochist.
Here are some things I do to remind myself that I rock:
– Get enough sleep.
– Take time to walk almost every day.
– Shop at a nice grocery store.
– Relish the scent of handmade candles from Pacifica candles.
– Attend chamber music concerts.
– Bring take-out food home. (Conversely you could bring a homemade lunch to work.)
– Take time to goof off.
None of these tactics are going to break the bank. What can you do today to value yourself?

The Roman God Saturn was an ancient god of fertility. He was known as the Protector and Sower of the Seed. In pictures he is portrayed as having a sickle in his left hand and a sheaf of wheat in his right.
His wife was Rhea or Ops who was the goddess of plenty and the patroness of riches, abundance, and prosperity both personal and national. Together they insured a bountiful harvest for the land.
He was honored at a harvest-home or winter solstice celebration marked by carnival, exchange of gifts, feasting, license and misrule, and a cessation of all public works.
At which the God was slain in surrogate to represent his travel to the Underworld and merger with his opposite self.

Most importantly, however, you're hear it in a fun and non-pedantic way to teach the most important lesson of all - that music at its best is full of life, spontaneous and direct from the heart!

I've been keeping it pretty quiet, not getting too emotional or anything but ... I'M GOING TO SEE THE ROLLING STONES!
Whew! That felt good.
My dh, who is NOT a fan, bought the tickets as my Christmas present. Isn't he the GREATEST HUSBAND EVER? So while he may not enjoy the show as much as I will, he gets all the credit for making me so happy.
I showed my boys the commercial on tv, and they seem a little puzzled as to why I want to go see a bunch of old guys try to be rockers. I guess it's going to be a stadium full of old people trying to relive their youth.
And we're gonna have fun, Fun, FUN!

Offender hearing
About a hearing
A brief guide for offenders on what happens before, during and after a hearing with the New Zealand Parole Board.
Hearings are conducted in the manner of an enquiry.
There is no set length of time for a hearing. Sometimes they can be quite short, but generally they are about half an hour. The length depends on what needs to be explored and who is present. Hearings are held either in the prison, or by video link, with the offender, Corrections staff, supporters and lawyer (with prior Board permission). Victims do not attend offender hearings.
Hearings can also be unattended. This is where the offender is not present, but a hearing is still conducted.
An offender is able to waive their right to attend their hearing but must do this in writing. Even if the offender waives their appearance, the hearing itself will continue as unattended. The offender can still make a written submission.
The Board decides who will attend hearings and who will speak. The Board does allow media representatives to attend some hearings and report on proceedings.
It is important to note, that when the Board is deliberating only the members and the Board's administrator are present in the hearing room. All other persons, including the offender, must leave.
Anyone can make a written submission to the Board about an offender.
Anyone who wishes to make a submission about a specific offender, supportive or not, can at any time.
A written submission should be brief, written on one side of the paper only, and written or typed clearly.
Involvement of supporters
Offenders are generally entitled to have up to three supporters at a hearing. This can include family, friends or a lawyer. Supporters have to be over 16. Permission is needed in advance from the Board.
Even if the Board allows an offender to have supporters at the hearing, the prison manager must also approve entry to the prison.
The Board may ask supporters questions during the hearing.
If an offender needs to have an interpreter at the hearing they need to advise their Case Officer in advance so one can be arranged.
In most cases if an offender wants to be represented by their lawyer at a hearing they need to write to the Board asking for permission. The letter needs to say why they think their lawyer should be there.
At some hearings the offender is entitled to legal representation without a request having to be made (although the offender must still advise the Board their lawyer is attending).
These cases include:
- recall applications;
- applications and reviews for orders made under section 107 of the Parole Act;
- postponement orders;
- post-release progress hearings.
The offender will need to check with their lawyer to find out whether representation at the hearing may be covered by legal aid. It is the offender's responsibility to ensure their lawyer knows the date, time and place of their hearing. This cost is not met by the Board.

Burzynski cancer treatment is an antineoplaston therapy developed by Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski. Antineoplastons are a collection of synthetic chemicals used to shield the body from disease, according to Cancer.org.
Burzynski cancer treatment is an alternative antineoplaston therapy in clinical trials at the doctor's Houston clinic. Antineoplastons are primarily composed of amino acids and peptides that are extracted from human blood and urine, and these chemicals are taken orally or injected for eight months to a year, according to Cancer.org. Dr. Burzynski may also prescribe radiation or chemotherapy, but patients cannot receive other physicians' conventional cancer treatments while participating in these clinical studies, according to Cancer.org.

Journey of Dreams by Marge Pellegrino. Frances Lincoln Children's Books, 2009. 256 pages. Publisher recommends for ages 11 and older. ISBN: 9781845079642.
Tomasa lives with her mama and papa, her older brother Carlos, her younger brother Manuelito , her baby sister Maria and her grandmother in the stunningly beautiful Guatemalan Highlands. It's 1984. Her life is simple and happy until the soldiers come. They start by taking away her friend Hector and almost taking her brother Carlos before they realize he is too young for the Army. Planes spray insecticide which makes the villagers sick and mama complains. After that, someone throws a threatening note into the family's house. It's aimed at mama. Mama and Carlos leave to get away from the soldiers. The rest of the family stays and hopes that things will get better and mama and Carlos will be able to return. Instead things get much worse. On the night papa, Tomasa, Manuelito and Maria leave the soldiers violence throws the village into chaos. One of the soldier's bullets kills Abuela. This view of life under a brutal regime determined to do away with its indigenous population is filtered through Tomasa's narrative and her 13-year-old understanding of the situation.
Papa and the children head first to Guatamala City, but they are warned on the outskirts that the city is not safe. They turn North and head towards Mexico, hoping all the time that somewhere they will find mama and Carlos. Their attempts to cross the river between Guatemala and Mexico with the aid of a coyote are horrendous.
In Mexico City they find a safe house and also news of mama and Carlos. They are in Phoenix, Arizona. People from the Sanctuary Movement in the United States help the family to cross into Arizona and be reunited with mama and Carlos.
The story is taut, especially as the family tries to cross the river. The political and human reality is very grim. As I remember, the reality was very grim for me as an adult at the time. Tomasa's narrative tells us the part of reality she is able to handle. Her dreams tell us a bit more about the terror she feels. She never loses hope. She never lets her baby sister lose hope. She tries to help her brother with his resentment towards mama for leaving them.
There's an excellent "About the Story" note in the back of the book, followed by this section is followed by a glossary and a map I referred to more than once.

Jackson Browne singing "Lives in the Balance," a popular song from the 1980s. It addresses the politics in the US much more than "Journey of Dreams" does, but it also addresses politics in countries that turn on their own citizens.

If you're serious about cycling or simply want to protect the investment you've made in your road or mountain bike, choose Frameguard™ bike frame protection tape to keep your bike looking as good as new. Easy to apply and completely transparent, Frameguard stone chip protection tape is also referred to as Helicopter Tape – from its original use to protect light aircraft from abrasive airborne particles such as sand, grit, volcanic dust etc. The unique properties of our bike frame protection tape enable it to disperse the impact energy of gravel and small stones, bouncing them off and leaving your frame untouched beneath.
Easy to apply and UV resistant so it won't yellow, Frameguard Stone Chip Protection Tape has been designed with today's steel, aluminium and carbon fibre frames in mind, especially useful for the latter as the surface of carbon fibre is particularly susceptible to impact damage. Our bike frame protection tape stays where you put it with a super-strong bond, but can be removed without leaving any residue on your frame. Whether you use our tape on your crank arms to prevent shoe scuffs, or apply it to your frame to save your paintwork from stones, grit, sand or even chain slap, our stone chip protection tape conforms easily to curves for a smooth finish.
Available in three standard kits, Frameguard Stone Chip Protection Tape is die-cut to suit most modern road and mountain bikes and comes in both Matt and Gloss finishes. Alternatively, we can supply custom kits for re-sellers to any specific requirements, even print our stone chip protection tape with your name and logo. Our sophisticated CNC plotters and die-cutting presses enable us to accommodate almost any shape and size, or we can supply Frameguard in roll and sheet format if required.
Product Features
- Ultra high clarity clear protection
- Self Healing – The dream of a self-healing protection tape where scratches simply disappear has come true.
- Excellent UV resistance – Frameguard is specially formulated to be UV stable and prevent differential fading.
- Protects against stone chips, scratches, dirt and grit
- High Elasticity – Frameguard is extremely conformable around tight radii and compound curves but will not shrink or creep – preventing an unattractive orange peel appearance
- Easily removable and residue-free
- Extremely Tough
- High quality appearance – Due to the negligible leading edge and addition of adhesive polymers that inhibit mould growth, Frameguard will not 'black line' round the edges
For more information visit our Products page now, or call us to enquire about the Frameguard range of Bike Stone Chip Protection Tape, one of our team will be happy to discuss any order or re-seller enquiry.

Using a password manager
There are a lot of amazing websites out there. Many sites offer all kinds of great features. As more companies move away from traditional mail to send out our bills, (after all, it does get costly) they are turning to electronic mechanisms that allow us to view our bills online, make payments, and more. While the overall convenience of this is quite high, there is a downside. Trying to remember a username and a password for each of the websites that I visit has finally broken me, and my brain is full. I can't deal with it anymore.
IBM predicted in 2011 that we would no longer require passwords or pins by 2016. Instead we would have mind-reading smartphones and ATMs that use biometric data to identify us. While the technology is certainly available to us, the adoption rate for this sort of thing is slow going as there are huge privacy concerns (as well as doubters of the actual technology). I predict that there will be continued advancements by 2016, but the username/password combination is not going to be completely gone.
A problem for me is that there is no standard in terms of passwords or usernames. Some sites require you to use your e-mail address as a username (which does make sense as it will be unique, but some people change their e-mail address frequently). Passwords also have inconsistencies. While most require your password to be at least six characters long (which ousted "love" as the most common password, only to be replaced by "123456"), some sites require the use of letters and numbers. Some sites even want at least one letter to be capital, and some allow for special symbols and some don't. Just when you think you have found a great password to use that you will remember, a new site throws a kink into things.
The other security no-no that, as an IT manager I am supposed to pass along to end users, is to never use the same password for various sites. If one password gets compromised, the theory is that thieves can get into all of the other sites where you use the same password. While theoretically true (and certainly a good practice) it becomes virtually impossible when faced with the daunting task of remembering dozens of different passwords and which sites or services they match up with. I have friends and coworkers who sometimes have a hard time remembering a single password let alone dozens and research shows that people log into as many as two dozen sites each day.
This is where a password manager comes to the rescue. The purpose of this software is to manage all the passwords you have for each site and put it into your browser or application for you. To further strengthen your protection, most managers will encourage you to create stronger, unique passwords for each of the sites you visit (and many will, in fact, create very strong passwords for you if you ask) and then remember those choices for you by using one single master login and password.
Although there are dozens, the product of choice for me lately has been LastPass. The product was initially launched in 2008 so it definitely has some history behind it. It uses what is known as the "freemium" model where the basic service is completely free and if you want some of the advanced features it costs extra. For end users working on their desktop computers the product is completely free. If you want to use and manage your passwords with a mobile device, it will cost you $12.
The obvious question is how secure is LastPass itself (or any password manager for that matter). The key here is to create a strong master password. All of your passwords and personal information will be encrypted using a unique key derived from that password – so not even employees of the company will be able to read your passwords. You can even download the software to be used from a USB key for a company environment that does not allow special software to be installed.
This PC Magazine article gives you a comparison of many of the password managers out there, as there really are quite a few. I would encourage you to consider using one of them as a way of protecting yourself and providing convenience at the same time. I never knew how great having this service was until I started using it. No more "Forgot/lost username or password" links for me. Instead, I'll stay focused on the good stuff.

FORT LAUDERDALE — Criticizing the Reagan Administration, John E. Jacob, president of the National Urban League, said Thursday that blacks must become more unified and the private business sector must become more supportive in order to help blacks ``enter the mainstream as equals -- not dependents.``
Jacob, speaking before about 75 guests attending the Urban League of Broward County`s 10th anniversary celebration at the Main Library, cited several statistics from the National Urban League`s ``1985 State of Black America`` report that suggest a lack of economic progress among blacks.
``The average tax burden for the poor went up by 23 percent over the past five years,`` Jacob said. ``Meanwhile, the affluent got huge tax cuts, while the Pentagon got more money than it knows what to do with.
``The black community must become involved in partnership efforts at the local level to work to make our schools better, our streets safer and our families stronger.``
The 231-page ``1985 State of Black America`` report, which was released in January, addresses a number of issues, including the demise of the black family and the Jesse Jackson presidential candidacy. It is the 10th such report that has been released by the National Urban League since the organization, which has 113 affiliates, was created 75 years ago.
Jacob, who said the National Urban League has been unsuccessful in participating in dialogue with the president and has received no invitations to meet with Reagan, stated that the White House has not responded to the report.
``I don`t know if we have a definable relationship with the president. We`ve called for dialogue with the president and his administration on issues pertinent to blacks,`` Jacob said before delivering his speech. ``But we haven`t had any recent success since January 1982.
``Fundamentally, this administration, in my judgment, seems to reject anybody or any document that is critical of the administration`s policies. And in fact, they do not talk to anyone who is critical of their policies.``

Interest in the hotel market continues unabated with a further $50 million worth of transactions just announced.
Interest in the hotel market continues unabated with a further $50 million worth of transactions just announced. JLL Hotels & Hospitality Group in conjunction with CBRE Hotels have just sold the Oxford Hotel Drummoyne for circa $34 million in the second largest gaming hotel transaction of the year. The imposing venue recently underwent a circa four million-dollar renovation with the sale including an adjacent retail property.
John Musca, National Director – Investment Sales, suggested, "This was another example of a long line of over $200 million of Top 150 ranked gaming hotels that we have transacted this year at a pricing level that reflects asset supply constraints, and earnings growth, more so than yield compression."
The Iris Capital Group owned properties occupy a combined 974 square metre site area with future height development potential and the scope for a rooftop bar with extensive city views. The sale included 30 gaming machines and an impressive new beer garden and basement parking additions. Iris are having a busy year having recently divested their interests in the Crest Hotel, Kings Cross and the Crown Hotel Parramatta for a reported $170 million to Chinese development group, Greenland, who have just commenced sale programs for the residential redevelopments.
"This asset is a rare example of a strong gaming centric venue that also has significant and growing contributions from on-premise bar and food revenues, which is a unique balance reserved for hotels with limited competition in high density precincts" stated Daniel Dragovich, National Director of CBRE Hotels.
In addition JLL announce the sale of the Royal Exhibition Hotel in Surry Hills for a mooted $19 million. "We have handled very few sale campaigns that have attracted the level of interest that the Royal Exhibition did with some 13 inspections, ultimately emanating from its strategic position opposite Central Station and on the proposed new light rail route," Mr. Musca said. "The broad range of bidders recognised the outstanding underlying property and the sought-after Surry Hills trading environment which is very much an investment hotspot for hoteliers presently."
The Royal Exhibition is a 24-hour approved hotel that includes 22 gaming machines, a large outdoor beer garden and terrace, and 14 4.5 star accommodation rooms. The transactions were linked with the private owners Michael Wiggins and Joanne Cassar of the Royal Exhibition Hotel, being the purchasers of the Oxford Hotel.
