Interview with Magnet
Music Home / Entertainment Channel / Bullz-Eye Home
Even Johansen, a.k.a. Magnet, is back with his first album on the Atlantic-distributed Filter U.S., The Tourniquet. A native of Norway, Magnet is on tour to support the new record in North America for five weeks and recently stopped to chat with Bullz-Eye.com about the record, touring, healing tattoos, life in Norway and how he is dealing with lofty comparisons.
Bullz-Eye: First of all, I love the new record. How is the media receiving it in general here in the States?
Magnet: So far it's been strange. I think I've been lucky with the way that I have been received in the places we've gone and stuff. I suppose I've been spoiled with all the good press. I suppose – and everyone pretends it doesn't mean anything, whether good or bad, and I'm one of them too – but I much prefer good reviews than bad reviews.
BE: I don't blame you.
M: So it's been really good. It's been a bit surprising that it's been that well.
BE: That's good. How about in Norway?
M: In Norway it's kind of turned into the credible part of music that's allowed to be liked for mainstream people, if you know what I mean. I'm much more established in Norway than here.
BE: So they don't go crazy over your new stuff?
M: Well, the reviews have all been really good. I don't know. It's difficult to brag about yourself and I'm not very good about that. But the reviews have always been really good. I've been lucky that way.
BE: That's good. So how was it exactly that a label discovered you?
M: Well eventually…it's kind of a strange story. A friend of mine I've known for a long time ended up being my manager for some reason. I don't know why on earth anyone decides to be a manager. Anyway, he was in Norway with some other band and he heard some music that a friend of mine played for him, and he was like, "Wow, can I work with you?" And I'm like, "Yeah, sure." So that's kind of how that happened. Then he went back and he has just started to work with Franz Ferdinand and all these other bands that are doing so well. So he was kind of like the 'golden boy' there for a bit.
BE: Cool. What was the name of the manager?
M: He's called James Sandom.
BE: Is he still managing you now?
M: Yes. The management company is called Supervision Management. And they're doing really well with everything they're working. It was not any of my assets, let's put it that way, which is the good way to have it. You know, I can make music and they can make the deals.
BE: So I read about the tattoo that essentially saved your life (Johansen suffered from anemia as a child and was cured by an alternative medicine dude who gave him a tattoo). I assume this is something that really happened and not a PR stunt, right?
M: Yeah, I've never been one for PR stunts. I only try to be myself. I find that much easier for me.
BE: And you've been okay ever since then?
M: Well, I've never been anemic since then. To tell you that I'm okay is pulling it a bit far.
BE: Did having songs on "The O.C." and "Six Feet Under" help you to get recognized here or were you already on your way to being recognized at that point?
M: You know, I think that kind of stuff really helps. It helps on a different kind of level, I think. How much of an impact it has for the viewers, I'm not too sure. But it makes you very visible in the music business. And that kind of helps – people talk and then more people talk. And if there was any way to try and get attention, I think that's probably one of the best ways to do it. Because it's not the kind of hype-y attention. So I really enjoy that. An inflatable mattress is really good until it pops, you know, and then it's no good anymore. So I would rather be on a bit more solid ground then the hype-y kind of ground. But I think it's a really good way to get some notice.
BE: Did you notice a big spike in record sales after that?
M: No, that's what I mean. It doesn't. All the records I have released, and everywhere I've released them, it has actually taken a bit longer. And I really appreciate that. So people kind of have of a relationship with the songs rather then the hype. And I much prefer it that way. So there is always some bit of a jump when something like that happens, but it's not an instant platinum record, let's put it that way.
BE: What do you think is different about The Tourniquet compared to previous music you have released?
M: I think the initial sort of idea when I started recording The Tourniquet was to try and make the music a bit more personalized. The lyrics are a bit more in the first person, rather then telling story about something that has happened to somebody else, even though that might have happened to me. So to me it's kind of more direct and it gets a bit quicker to the point. I listen to the record and it is a bit more immediate than the previous outings.
BE: And would you say it's easier to write that way?
M: No, well actually, it's such a different kind of way of writing. I don't think it's more difficult, it's just different.
BE: That makes sense. And are you on tour right now?
M: Yeah, we came over to the US maybe two weeks ago. So we did some shows with a Canadian band, Stars, on the east coast. And we went to Canada for about a week and a half before we came down to L.A. So we're kind of in the middle of a five-week outing.
BE: You're going to be at South by Southwest?
M: Yeah, I'm really looking forward to South by Southwest.
BE: Is this your first time?
M: No, I went there with a band I used to be in, a long time ago, like in '99 or 2000. And the heat and everything…me being Norwegian…boy in March, that's really nice.
BE: (Laughs). Right!
M: So I'm looking forward to the heat and the whole thing. If you can't be entertained at South by Southwest, then you should find something else to do. So yeah, I'm looking forward to it.
BE: Do you travel with a band, or are you basically the band when you're on the road?
M: Well, that kind of changes as well. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. I find that things get quickly stale. So if you're traveling with a band and you play the same songs the same way all the time, I kind of lose the inspiration a bit, if you know what I mean. So half of the shows that we've done so far have been with a band, and half of them I do by myself. And the sound engineer that I bring with me plays some instruments, and he plays around with the stuff that I make. So some of the stuff is solo. I would say 50/50.
BE: A friend of mine saw you on New York a couple of years ago and said you played by yourself, and you played a bunch of different things by yourself, and it was really cool.
M: Oh, excellent. Yeah, I have this lap steel guitar.
BE: Right! That's what he said. Exactly.
M: And that kind of lends itself really well to it. You have all these mishaps and stuff, and you realize the guitar can actually become the band in a way. I can make drum beats and stuff like that on the guitar. So it kind of gets a bit more inspiring for me to do rather than just being a troubadour, if you like.
BE: Right. Or just a front man for a band.
M: Yeah. So I really quite enjoy the fact that it turns into something else. It's cool.
BE: Are there usually any surprises in your set? Do you play any obscure cover songs?
M: Well, it varies. Sometimes I do. I don't usually write down set lists and stuff like that. I think it's much more fun when you play live shows to try and connect in some way with the audience. It's not necessary that you have to force whatever it is that you want to portray on the audience. It's much nicer in a way to have a bit more participation from the audience. You kind of feel more of what you're going to play. It changes all the time.
BE: What about cover songs? Do you play anything really cool?
M: Yeah. On the first record that came out, which was not really a record, I did a cover song of "Dancing in the Moonlight." And I've done some strange stuff. I did a Christmas song, "Let it Snow." So yeah, stuff kind of pops up, depending on the mood.
BE: And you've been compared to the likes of the Beatles and the Beach Boys as far as melodies. How do you feel about those expectations? Are they high expectations to live up to?
M: You know, I think on the sort of expectations or "how am I going to be perceived" I don't really give a fuck, to tell you the truth. It's like, the only thing I suppose I am trying to do is impress myself. If I'm able to play my songs to the best of my abilities then that's the best I can do. So if that works, then good. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work, and that's a shame. But I certainly would never dream of rubbing shoulders with that kind of artist. That's not how I see myself. But it's extremely flattering, of course.
BE: Of course!
M: It's not something like I think, "Hey, I'm John Lennon." Yeah, I wouldn't go there.
BE: Who are your influences as a songwriter?
M: I think that basically the stuff that you listen to when you are a kid kind of stays with you for longer, so you're more influenced by that. When I was a kid, the first record I bought was Rastaman Vibration by Bob Marley and the Wailers. And you know when I was that young, you could only afford to get one record a month. So you kind of play it to death, if you know what I mean. So that kind of stuff stays with you. And nowadays when I can afford maybe a record a week or so, I don't listen to it for that much. I would say my influences have been like Bob Marley, Leonard Cohen with the stuff my mom and dad were listening to. And I've had my fair share of listening to the Beatles and the Beach Boys as well, due to my parents. And then punky stuff. – I love The Clash, those kinds of things more than the newer stuff. I suppose you get influenced by newer stuff as well, but you just don't know it.
BE: Definitely. Are you listening to anyone now in particular?
M: Well, you know, I forgot my iPod.
BE: Oh, that sucks.
M: You have no idea. I really enjoyed the last Sigur Ros album. I thought that was a wonderful record. And Royksopps' new album, I really like that one too. You don't end up listening to so much stuff, unfortunately. There's never enough time. But that's the kind of stuff I'm listening to lately.
BE: OK, cool. If you could meet one musician, dead or alive, who would it be?
M: That's a tough one. You know, I think…now that's a really tough one. I think whoever, I don't know their name, but whoever was writing all the really old Disney stuff. The guy who wrote "Zippity Doo Dah." I'd really like to meet him. He either was totally crazy or he must have been an absolute genius. I'm kind of hoping the latter. But I would be happy to find out.
BE: (Laughs). That is a pretty catchy melody.
M: Oh, I love it, you know! (Laughs)
BE: Do you have any funny stories from the road at all?
M: Umm…(Laughs). Well, lots of stuff happens all the time. We nearly got arrested two weeks ago in New York because we were filming. We were in the cab and we're driving through a tunnel and come out, and then it's like "have you got your passports? We need to make sure you're not terrorists." That kind of stuff happens all the time.
BE: Were you filming a video?
M: No, no, no. Just the camcorder. We were just driving. I was like OK, I didn't realize that wasn't allowed in the states. But you know…
BE: I didn't, either.
M: So, that kind of stuff happens.
BE: What are some other hobbies and interests you have besides music?
M: You know, it's a sad, sad thing – and I think most musicians have it the same way – it IS kind of your hobby.
BE: Everything you do revolves around it, pretty much, right?
M: Yeah, especially if you write songs. It's not something you switch on and off…unfortunately, sometimes. What I do like is, you know I live by the sea, so I like going out on my boat. That's a cool thing to do for me. It relaxes me, and maybe that's the one time I don't think about music. So yeah, I go out on the boat.
BE: How long is your summer in Norway?
M: It's pretty much the same as it is, I'd say, in Boston. Obviously we get longer days in the summer and shorter days in the winter. So everyone kind of boats in the summer time and then spends the next couple of months to kind of recoup.
BE: Yeah, that makes sense. Do you have any final thoughts or things you want to plug on Bullz-Eye.com?
M: No, you know the only thing I can say is that bull's-eye is the message alert on my phone.
BE: Really? That's interesting.
M: Yeah. Whether it's yours, you know, it's the sound of a bull's-eye.
BE: (laughs). No, I don't think it's us, but…
M: Well, just pretend that it's yours.

NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock said in a national conference call he thought Florida defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd could be a potential target for the Raiders with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2013 NFL draft.
Mayock, available in advance of this week's NFL scouting combine, said he liked Floyd (6-foot-3, 303 pounds) ahead of Utah's Star Lotulelei (6-4, 325), a player who heading into the combine is considered to be more of a top 10 pick than Floyd on most lists.
"Oakland is in a very good place. They need D-linemen, and they can get one in this draft. This kid from the University of Florida, Sharrif Floyd, he's the prototypical three-technique in this draft and I think he's going to be a big-time impact player that people don't know about," Mayock said. "I've got him rated higher than the Utah kid and he's a natural at what they do."
Defensive tackle Richard Seymour is an unrestricted free agent, as is injury-replacement in the starting lineup, Desmond Bryant. Starter Tommy Kelly is no lock to return because of a high salary cap number.
The Raiders are presently without picks in the second and fifth rounds because of trades for Carson Palmer and Aaron Curry in 2011. They've added a second seventh-round pick in the Louis Murphy deal to Carolina and also will probably receive a compensatory pick or picks by the time the draft takes place.
While trading the No. 3 overall pick is no doubt enticing, and would potentially enable the Raiders to recoup the lost picks, it may be easier said than done.
Mayock said the 2013 draft is exceptionally deep because of a strong junior class, but not particularly top heavy.
"I think the fifth pick in the draft and the 25th pick are very similar," Mayock said.
Mayock, who correctly forecast the Raiders selection of Darrius Heyward-Bey in 2009 well in advance of the draft based on the way Al Davis leaned heavily on size, strength and speed, said the organization has changed the way it identifies talent in the Reggie McKenzie-Dennis Allen era.
"I think there's a very radical divergence from the past Raider way," Mayock said. "I don't mean that positively or negatively. I just mean different. I like where Reggie and Dennis are headed. Reggie comes from Green Bay. In Green Bay, Ted Thompson's been a guy that grinds. He's out in the field all the time. He's a true old-school evaluator, where h wants a football player first and an athlete second, and I think Mr. Davis was a little bit the opposite.
"He wanted that athlete first and that he thought he could mold into a football player."
Mayock also sees four offensive linemen as being players who could go in the top three _ Texas A&M tackle Luke Joekel, Central Michigan tackle Eric Fisher, Alabama guard Chance Warmack and North Carolina guard Jonathan Cooper.
The Raiders could use an instant starter at either at right tackle, where Khalif Barnes is a free agent, or either guard spot, where Mike Brisiel was brought in because of his familiarity with the zone bocking scheme and Cooper Carlisle is a free agent.

Angelina Jolie Spreads Her Wings for New 'Maleficent' Poster
Angelina Jolie spreads her wings wide in this new poster for her highly anticipated movie Maleficent.
"I had wings once. And they were strong, but they were stolen from me," the photo of the wings was captioned.
The poster was revealed on the film's Twitter account, which was locked shortly before the photo was shared and presumably won't be opened again until the "curse" is broken.
"But evil has a beginning. Do you want to learn the truth about #Maleficent? Follow NOW before it is too late," the account tweeted before the curse started.
Make sure to check out all of the previously released stills from the movie in the gallery below, including one that features Angelina's daughter Vivienne!

Huge fraud exposed in Iraq contracts
A US Congressional inspection team set up to monitor reconstruction in Iraq has published a scathing report on failures by contractors to carry out projects worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
In one case, the inspectors found that three years after the invasion only six of 150 health centres proposed for Iraq have been completed by a US contractor, in spite of 75 per cent of the $US186 million ($A245 million) allocated having been spent.
The report says: "Fourteen more will be completed by the contractor, and the remaining facilities, which are partially constructed, will have to be completed by other means." The inspectors blame the failure in this instance on management problems and security concerns.
The report on work projects in Iraq is by Stuart Bowen, the special inspector-general for Iraq reconstruction (Sigir). Mr Bowen's office was set up after Congress expressed concern about the slow rate of reconstruction and the misuse of funds on a massive scale.
The US allocated $US21 billion for reconstruction, of which 67 per cent has been spent. The report says Mr Bowen's inspection team is investigating 72 cases of alleged fraud and corruption, and is pursuing leads not only in the US but in Europe and the Middle East.
In March, investigators conducted a successful sting operation that led to the arrest of a contractor who offered a bribe to one of its undercover agents.
The report says "there exists a gap between US project outputs and the delivery of essential services to Iraqis".
While progress has been made in the construction of schools and police stations, many Iraqis still have no access to clean water, and electricity supplies in Baghdad are still below pre-invasion levels.
The inspectors say that economic recovery is being hampered by the failure to restore Iraq's oil production to levels before 2003.
The inspectors audited Task Force Shield, established in September 2003 to build Iraq's capacity to protect its oil, gas and electrical infrastructure, and found significant shortcomings.
The report concludes the project "failed to meet its goals because it was burdened by a lack of clear management structure and poor accountability. There were also indications of potential fraud, which are now under review by Sigir investigators."
Until last month, Washington had invested more than $US265 million to improve the protection of energy infrastructure across Iraq.
In a separate section, the report notes a former contractor and former senior staff member of the now defunct US-led coalition government are facing jail sentences of 30 to 40 years on corruption charges. The contractor will have to pay $US3.6 million in restitution and forfeit $US3.6 million in assets.
Apart from mismanagement and corruption, the report identifies attacks by Iraqi insurgents as one of the main reasons for the delays and failures.
"Insurgent activity continues to impede ongoing reconstruction projects and interrupt their transition to Iraqi control," it says. "But the attacks remain concentrated in a few areas, leaving daily life in much of the rest of Iraq, particularly the Kurdish north and some areas of the south, in a state of gradual recovery."
The report adds: "Corruption is another form of insurgency in Iraq. This second insurgency can be defeated only through the development of democratic values and systems, especially the evolution of effective anti-corruption institutions in Iraq."

Where the trench is excavated in rock, the rock shall be carefully excavated to a depth of six inches below the grade line of the sewer and the trench brought to the proper elevation with gravel or other material satisfactory to the Plumbing Inspector. The remainder of the trench shall be backfilled with suitable material.
Nothing in this section shall be construed as abrogating any of the existing requirements of the Borough relating to the excavation and backfilling of trenches, but the requirements herein contained shall be in addition thereto.
Where subsoil conditions are bad, such special precaution shall be taken to secure a watertight job as may be directed by the Plumbing Inspector. In quicksand, all pipes shall be laid out on planking two inches thick by at least six inches wide.
Where connection is made between the portion of the house plumbing system outside of the building and the house connection, a long radius bend shall appropriately be installed at this connection, along with a cleanout as required by the Plumbing Code. This connection shall be subject to the approval of the Plumbing Inspector, who shall be given ample notice prior to such work.
Grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be provided when, in the opinion of the Sewer Inspector, they are necessary for the proper handling of liquid wastes containing grease in excessive amounts or any flammable wastes, sand and other harmful ingredients, except that such interceptors shall not be required for private living quarters or dwelling units. All interceptors shall be of a type and capacity approved by the Sewer Inspector and shall be located as to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection.
Grease and oil interceptors shall be constructed of impervious materials capable of withstanding abrupt and extreme changes in temperature. They shall be of substantial construction, watertight and equipped with easily removable covers which, when bolted in place, shall be gastight and watertight.
Where installed, all grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be maintained by the owner, at his expense, in continuously efficient operation at all times.
The Plumbing Inspector may apply any appropriate test to the pipes, and the plumber and contractor, at his own expense, shall furnish all necessary tools, labor, materials and assistants for such tests and shall remove or repair any defective materials when so ordered by the Inspector.
All measurements, tests and analyses of the characteristics of waters and wastes to which reference is made in §§ 210-5 and 210-21 shall be determined in accordance with the latest edition of Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Sewage, published by the American Public Health Association, and shall be determined at the control manhole provided for in § 210-23 or upon suitable samples taken at the control manhole. In the event that no special manhole has been required, the control manhole shall be considered to be the nearest downstream manhole in the public sewer to the point at which the building sewer is connected.
The admission into the public sewers of any waters or wastes having five-day biochemical oxygen demand greater than 300 parts per million, by weight, or containing more than 350 parts per million, by weight, of suspended solids or containing any quantity of substances having the characteristics described in § 210-5 or having an average daily flow greater than 2% of the average daily sewage flow of the Borough shall be subject to the review and approval of the Sewer Inspector. Where necessary in the opinion of the Sewer Inspector, the owner shall provide, at his expense, such preliminary treatment as may be necessary to reduce the biochemical oxygen demand to 300 parts per million and the suspended solids to 350 parts per million, by weight, or reduce objectionable characteristics or constituents to within the maximum limits provided for in § 210-5 or control the quantities and rates of discharge of such waters or wastes. Plans, specifications and any other pertinent information relating to proposed preliminary treatment facilities shall be submitted for the approval of the Sewer Inspector, Plumbing Inspector and of the Department of Health of the state, and no construction of such facilities shall be commenced until the approvals are obtained in writing.
Where preliminary treatment facilities are provided for any waters or wastes, they shall be maintained continuously in satisfactory and effective operation by the owner at his expense.
When required by the Plumbing Inspector, the owner of any property served by a house connection or building sewer carrying industrial wastes shall install a suitable control manhole in the building sewer to facilitate observation, sampling and measurement of the wastes. Such manhole, when required, shall be accessibly and safely located and shall be constructed in accordance with plans approved by the Plumbing Inspector. The manhole shall be installed by the owner at his expense and shall be maintained by him so as to be safe and accessible at all times.
As of January 1, 1972, the sewer system of the Borough shall cease to be operated as a municipal utility. From and after such date, no fees, rents or charges shall be charged to local taxpayers for services rendered by the sewer system. Any delinquent rates, rents, fees or charges for such sewer utility shall be paid to the municipality and shall be accounted for in accordance with the rules made and provided therefor.
The cost of maintaining and operating the sewer system of the Borough and the payment of debt service, as well as any amounts due on account of assessments made for such system, shall be due to the municipality, and the amount necessary to pay maintenance and operation of the sewer system and the amount to pay principal of and interest on any obligations issued for sewer purposes shall be raised by budget appropriation in the budget commencing in the year 1972. The principal of and interest on any assessments paid shall be applied to the trust account for the payment of assessments.
The Sewer Inspector, Plumbing Inspector and other duly authorized employees of the Borough bearing proper credentials and identification shall be permitted to enter upon all properties for the purposes of inspection, observation, measurement, sampling and testing in accordance with the provisions of this article.
The Sewer Inspector and Plumbing Inspector may waive strict compliance with the provisions of this article where such compliance would cause great hardship, other than increased financial expense, to the property owner involved.
Each contractor or other person performing work on public property for the purposes of installing house connections shall post a bond or cash acceptable to the Department of Public Works or the Sewer Inspector. All work shall be adequately guarded with barricades, lights and other measures for protection to the public from hazard. Streets, sidewalks, curbs and other public property disturbed in the course of the work shall be restored in a manner satisfactory to the Borough.
No person shall break, damage, destroy, deface or tamper with any structure, appurtenance or equipment which is a part of the Borough sewage works.
Any person violating any of the provisions of this article shall become liable to the Borough for any expense, loss or damage occasioned the Borough by reason of such violation.
Any person violating any provision of this article shall, upon conviction thereof, be punished as provided in § 1-15.

What is Geeks For Peace?
What is Geeks For Peace?
GFP is a not-for-profit dream, promoting peace in the world through our desire for neat stuff for ourselves. I envision this site as a source of information to help inform and encourage fellow seekers of peace. I hope that our eventual merchandise will be worn proudly by geeks the world over and that monies collected by the sale of said "neat stuff" will go to aid victims of war worldwide.
Why Geeks?
Because everyone counts, and it's time that the people in charge knew it. It's time for us to make our voices be heard instead of taking a back seat to big business, the religious right and others who seek to steer the future of this county (and the world).
Where are we now?
As I said, there isn't much to be seen here right now. A small list of links to sites that are informative and are good places to start if you really want to make a difference in the world. We have also teamed up with domestic investigator New Orleans to help bring peace for our local geeks. You can check with site out here: http://www.louisianaprivateeye.com/
I have for another New Orleans Private Investigator that looks to be pretty good named Crescent Investigation take a look on their website to get some prices.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Collegiate Baseball has pegged the 2012 UCSB Baseball recruiting class as the eighteenth-best in the nation in their latest recruiting results.
The No. 18 ranking is the highest in the history of the program, and it is the first time that the Gauchos have cracked the Top-20 in program history.
This was the first full recruiting class that UCSB Head Coach Andrew Checketts and his staff have brought in. The Gauchos were able to bring aboard 25 recruits, 19 of which are freshman and 6 that transferred from junior colleges.
The Gauchos ranked second among Big West Conference schools on the poll, as rivals Cal State Fullerton were tabbed just one spot ahead of the Gauchos at No. 17.
"The high ranking really speaks to the work that Eddie [Cornejo, Assistant Coach/Recruiting Coordinator], Jason [Hawkins, Assistant Coach], and the rest of the coaching staff have put into recruiting quality players into the program," said Checketts. "We're confident these athletes can come in and contribute immediately."
"Jason and Eddie will be the first ones to tell you that we will really know more about this class three to four years from now based on how productive they are," Checketts continued. "The ranking doesn't mean anything until we translate it to wins on the field."
UCSB's 2012 recruiting class is led by pitchers Connor Baits, Dillon Tate and position players Andrew Calica and Devon Gradford.
Baits was one of the most highly regarded high-school pitchers in California. The 6-5 righty out of Point Loma High has been clocked as high as 94 MPH and was a 23rd round draft pick by the Mets in the 2012 draft.
Dillon Tate had a solid 2.85 ERA in his senior season at Claremont High and has shown the ability to reach the low 90's with his fastball. Tate gives Checketts another solid option out of the bullpen.
Outfielder Andrew Calica hit over .400 in each of his final three seasons at Eastlake High School and has shown a solid glove, committing no errors during his entire senior season.
Shortstop Devon Gradford, a 34th round pick of the Oakland Athletics in the 2012 draft, sported a .430/.520/.724 slash line in his senior season at Downey and significantly improved his defense after making the move from second base in his Junior year.
The new recruiting class joins a strong set of returners for the Gauchos, including Freshman All-American Greg Mahle, Andrew Vazquez, and Brandon Trinkwon to give the Gauchos a solid roster for the 2013 campaign.

I am moving; for joy, for joy. I hate moving but it seems I move regularly. I think this is trait passed on to me by my parents because they never lived anywhere for more than 10 years. I think it's part of a gypsy heritage.
When I was young I can remember how the phone book was an invaluable tool. You would find notes scribbled on the covers and circles, arrows and margin notes on the inside pages. For most of my adult life, I lived in small town America. The phone book was important to be sure, albeit a tiny book with few pages. It fit in a drawer next to the phone on the wall and was quite light to pick up.
I moved to Southern California a few years ago. One of the first things that amazed me was the huge books I found plopped on my doorstep each year. A mammoth white pages and an even larger Yellow Pages. So, anyway, I found myself moving the other day and under the guest bed was where I had been throwing these books. I didnt even give it a moment of thought when moving time came. The new ones that just showed up along with my "collection" all went into the recycling bin.
After regaining my breath from the haul out, I reflected on the fact that I hadn't opened any of them, ever! This fact was worth considering more, given I am am marketer, who at one time, made a living placing tiny Yellow Pages ads in target cities. Perhaps, more importantly, here I was new in town and had no need for The Phone Book!
In 2007, Search Engine Land did an exhaustive study that uncovered that searches for the yellow pages online were dropping while searches for Google maps were increasing. This would point towards a double challenge for Yellow Pages publishers. Not only is their print version soon to be a dinosaur. They waited so long to create online versions, they aren't needed here either. Ouch!
But what does this all mean for businesses? While it is somewhat hard to find statistics that validate my prognostication. 15 years ago 100% of the population used The Yellow Pages. Today it is split even. 50% use the internet and 50% use the printed books. That's a pretty steep decline in a relatively short period of time. If your business has always done well with the printed book, you probably need to stay in it. In fact I would recommend a smaller size in more categories. At the same time, you better be getting sharp at understanding the various ways someone might find you online as well as how social media will continue to reshape how people filter information in their lives.
It's not a matter of if, but when the print book will make no sense any more at all. I am betting it will be sooner than later. I'm a bit biased though, because I have a fondness for trees and my expectations are such that there will be somewhat less strain on them when phone books do not exist at all, anywhere, anymore.

Nokia Lumia 822 auto powering off--WOULD NEVER BUY AGAIN!!!!!
- I found this forum after seeking information about the 822. VERY UNHAPPY!!!!!!
On November 21st we ordered (by phone) 4 phones with the WOS, three of which are Nokia Lumia 822's. We also became Verizon customers for the first time, signing a two-year contract. We paid for 2-day shipping and it took them 6 days to arrive. Two of the 822 phones appear to function fine, the third however, has been a NIGHTMARE!!! Within days of activating, my husband's phone began shutting itself off. At first we thought it was something he was doing (as we'd never owned smartphones before), but finally he decided to call into Verizon about it and they sent him to Tech Support and they had him "soft-reset" the phone by pulling the battery out/back in. About 2 days later the same thing happened and he called again and again, they did the same thing. A couple of days later the phone began shutting off 2-3 times per day. Enough is enough, he called and asked for a new phone and was told it would ship right away. It took 6 days to get the phone and it is NOT new, it is refurbished. What???? We bought a NEW phone, we should get a NEW phone to replace the bad one, right?
We called and waged a war with the rep and she said they would arrange for a new phone to be available to my husband at the Verizon store. We don't have a local store so we agreed to drive the hour and a half this week to pick up a NEW phone. Just to confirm, my husband contacted the store we were going to and they had no record of what we were talking about. Time to call Verizon. We called them and they said they would call the store again and get it taken care of. Put on hold for 20 minutes, "Brian" comes back and says "sorry, but the store won't honor what we offered because you are outside of the 14-day window for returns. Are you kidding me? We called about the problem 3 times and kept being told to reset the phone. They should have said "Oh no, return that phone IMMEDIATELY and we will send you a new one!" They also said it was Nokia's policy NOT to issue us a new phone. We called Nokia and they said this is NOT true, that is Verizon's policy, not Nokia's. Verizon lied!
We called verizon back 3 times today and they said that even though we were sent a bad device, they are not obligated to give us a new one. AND if my husband keeps this refurb they sent on Monday and it starts to display issues, WE will have to pay a restocking fee of $35 to replace ANOTHER bad phone ... with ANOTHER refurb!
I have read up on Verizon's website about this phone and other people are having the same issue with the 822 powering off on its own and "Brandon" with Verizon even confirmed today that they are aware of issues such as this and they are "hoping for a resolution". Hoping? Really?????
from the time we first decided to get smartphones, I was against IOS and Droids. I did my research on WOS phones and was really excited about the Lumia 822 AND about becoming a Verizon customer. I am completely disheartened in the fact that neither Verizon nor Nokia will stand behind this product, even though BOTH companies appear to be well aware of the issue we have with this phone.
I would NEVER buy another Nokia phone and will NEVER sign with Verizon again. Even after 12 crappy years with Sprint, Verizon sucks worse.01-09-2013 05:00 PM
- Try dealing with Nokia directly and bypassing Verizon. You may have more luck then. if they try to pass you off to Verizon say you've been to Verizon before and they are refusing to help.01-09-2013 05:05 PM
- Let me recap:
* You bought three Lumia 822's
* Two are fine, one is bad
* You live a long way from the store, so it was really inconvenient, and then even after you went to the store, they would switch it for a new device, so they sent you a replacement, refurbished device.
* It seems you are worried that the replacement device and the others will start developing issues - is that correct?
I can understand how you are frustrated, especially as you live a long way from a store. I didn't realize that anyone lived an hour away from a Verizon store, they seem to be as common as a McDonalds. Now a Microsoft store, those are few and far between.
It is frustrating that they didn't extend the return period after you had called an issue into tech support.
My guess is that if you live an hour away from a Verizon store, that was a risk you took buying a phone from them, this is always possible, with any device. If you live an hour away from ANY carrier store, this is going to be the same issue.
I hope all three phones work great for you from now on and this all becomes a distant memory.
Also - if this does persist, deal directly with Nokia - they'll make it right.01-09-2013 05:36 PM
- ^I find that hard to believe. I went through Nokia's website to replace/repair my 10 month old Lumia 800. It provided me a shipping label (I didn't pay for it). I then sent it out and received a brand new one just a week later.01-09-2013 05:38 PM
- I wish I was kidding about what Nokia said but I'm not. The only positive thing to come from the conversation with Nokia was to hear them say that Verizon was incorrect, it is NOT Nokia's policy to NOT give a new phone after 14 days, that is Verizon's policy. Nokia could only offer for us to ship the phone to them for repairs, nothing else.
There is a small Verizon store locally but mostly for paying bills and signing contracts. They carry iPhones and iPhone stuff and a few other phones, NOTHING for WOS ... not the phones and no accessories. The manager of the store said he was not going to carry any of it because there has not been a demand for those types of phones. Verizon reps called them before calling the store almost 2 hours away and did confirm everything I just posted about the local kiosk-type store.
Dogfish, yes, so far the other 2 Lumias appear to be fine, but the problem with my husband's phone and the lack of anyone trying to take care of the problem, leads me to be concerned with the remaining two phones should a problem arise. Verizon admitted to KNOWING there is an issue like this. "Brandon", a Verizon rep even said they are seeing this with approx. 1 out of every 5 Lumia phones that have sold. So why are they still selling them? And why aren't they replacing them with new phones? We paid for a NEW phone!!!!!
I am VERY concerned about this refurb being bad now and if it is, we have to pay a $35 restocking fee. That's not fair.01-09-2013 05:53 PM
- Not that its true or helpful, but the refurbished phone is probably new. These phones have only been out a little under two months, when a new phone is released the carriers receive unboxed new phones without accessories, batteries, etc to give as replacements. They are marked as refurb, but are not.
Also I have had a **** of a time with Verizon...my 822 had the same problem, they sent me out another and its been great...no problems and I've had it for a week now.
I was however pissed at first, because I bought a new phone and a month later started having quality issues...this was an 8x, after 2 replacements, Verizon offered to switch me to a comparable 822. It came in and within an hour of using it, it shut itself off. This happened 2 more times and each time required me to pull the battery. Called Verizon, they sent me another overnight, received it the next day and a week later have had no problem. In fact I love the phone and consider it better than the HTC 8x.01-09-2013 06:17 PM

I agree with you that Verizon should be more helpful. The cell phone companies used to give a longer trial period (a month instead of two weeks). At two-week window is hostile to customers like your husband -- too short for someone to understand what's going on with a complicated device that they haven't had any experience with. From being on these boards since November, I know that when one of these phones starts acting like your husband's, exchange it immediately. But Verizon reps apparently didn't offer that advice when you first started having problems. Given the money they charge, the level of customer service that cellphone companies offer is pretty close to criminal. Verizon isn't the best, but it's not the worst either.

- These phones are new. The WP8 operating system is new. There are bound to be bugs. It should go without saying to anyone who is an early adopter. Does it suck? Yes, but it should be expected for a percentage of devices. My 822 has the same issue. It'll turn itself off about every other day. A battery pull is obnoxious so all I do now is the recommended holding of the on/off button and the volume-down button at the same time until the phone restarts. It still sucks but that's less painful than a battery pull. There is an update, which may fix the issue but Verizon has not released it yet. Hopefully, soon. Otherwise I love my 822 and will grudgingly deal with this flaw until a fix is published.
P.S. WHy not just send the problem phone to Nokia and let him use one of the others until it get fixed? Probably means someone has to give up a phone for a bit but it's the same whenever someone in my family has to take their car to the shop for some issue.01-09-2013 09:32 PM
- You know what your real problem is? You're using Verizon! ;)
Seriously, Versions' customer service sucks. A store rep actually got in a fight with my parents were trying to exchange their faulty 8X for a new one. Luckily the reps manager finally stepped.
IMO, WP8 and Nokia really having nothing to do with your issues. These kind of things happen even with band new iPhones. Its Verizon's horrible policies.
I was with Verizon for 8 years. Switched to ATT and never looked back.

- If you contacted VZW about the issue within their standard exchange period, escalate it up to a manager. They should have simply exchanged the phone upon request. VZW though will do anything to avoid their own replacement policy. I do have a VZW store nearby and getting a defective 822 replaced represents the only time I have ever raised my voice in business establishment. They insisted they needed to "troubleshoot" the phone first, after I brought it in pointing out it would no longer connect via Bluetooth to my car or any other devices I owned and had already done the obligatory troubleshooting. The rep and manager took the phone and moved a distance away and started playing with it talking about what they were going to do (I wasn't supposed to hear that part). I walked over and told them they were going to exchange it as per their written policy and had to repeat the same line again and again as they tried to insert "but this" and "but that" in the discussion. Eventually the manager just shrugged, acknowledged that I could exchange as per their policy, and told the rep to get a new phone. He continued to act (and talk) as if he was doing me a favor though, so I ended up raising my voice to a level that every customer could hear, stating that I could return the phone for an exchange for any reason within the period and that I expected that they would do so - nothing more/nothing less - and to get me the phone so I could get out of there. The moral of the story being that even in a VZW owned store, they made the process more involved than need be. As far as getting a refurbished phone, in my experience they will continue to send refurbished ones unless you force the issue. It should have been exchanged up front and that may have some traction. If they replace as a warranty replacement, they will always send refurbished phones.01-09-2013 11:11 PM
- Yes, faulty phones come in all brands, shapes and sizes. I get that. It's the TIMELINE of the whole fiasco that is infuriating.
We paid for 2 day shipping. It took 6 days for the phones to arrive. It was another 3 days until we activated them because by the time the phones actually showed up, my oldest son had gone back to college and we had to 2-day express his phone to him at school and THEN we were all finally able to activate. By then we were already 10 days into the 14-day window---ACCORDING TO THE VERIZON REP. However, the guy who sold us the phones told us we had 14 days FROM ACTIVATION to return them if we were unhappy. Two totally different stories.
Then (thinking we were still inside the 14-day window), the issue started with my husband's phone. Three days after it happened the first time, it happened again and he called. They never said we were outside of the window and it never occurred to us to ask. They just told him how to reset the phone and it worked. Two or three days later, same thing, same resolution. After it started happening every day he finally called and they said "we're sending a new phone ASAP". The refurb arrived SIX days later! And you already know the rest of the story.
Two of the reps we spoke with today said they changed their return policy on 11/22 to allow a larger return window for those making purchases from 11/22-12/25. Those people have until 1/15 to return. You can go read it yourself here: Return Policy & Termination Fee | Verizon Wireless
We ordered on the NIGHT of 11/21 and they won't make an exception even though THEY ate into OUR return days to start with????? That's ******ed!01-09-2013 11:36 PM
- Yes, its all screwed up and annoying. But stop talking to plain reps. Call and ask for a supervisor. If they ask why, just say that previous reps couldn't help you in any way. Talking to a manager is the only way you will have this fixed. And I wouldn't blame Nokia for anything other than faulty phone. Customer service is verizon's part.01-10-2013 12:08 AM
- Ya, from what you are describing, this is pure Verizon for being pain in the asses. Their complete lack of care for their customers is the reason I left. I've had huge billing issues with them in the past that took them months to resolve. My parents got in a fight with them, and friends constantly have issues dealing with them.
You need to just go irate with Verizon and give them the earful they deserve instead of complaining here. We can't do anything for you as it has nothing to do with WP itself.01-10-2013 12:52 AM
- I've found that with VZW, you have to keep going over heads and climbing the ladder until you find a higher-up that is knowledgable and who cares somewhat. If they customer service reps are being useless, ask for their supervisor. And if their supervisor isn't any help, ask for the supervisor's supervisor. Eventually, you should reach someone who understand that 'losing a tiny drop of money now to keep the customer happy pays off long term.'
Honestly, it sounds like Verizon is treating you like s*** and I know you're not the only one. Perhaps some of these issues need to be brought to the Better Business Bureau? Do they look at this type of stuff?01-10-2013 06:05 AM
- I have been with verizon for over 15 years and never had bad service from them. As rough as I am on my devices I get at least 8 replacements a year with no hassle at all.
As others have said the replacement is very close to new and as long as it works who cares!
I am a firm believer in a lemon law for electronics just like automobiles have. The consumer gets stuck with a device that doesn't always work correctly.
With your device power cycling there are several factors that can contribute one of the biggest can be cell coverage in your area. I've had the 822 since launch and yes it has powered cycled a few times but so has my blackberry bold and numerous android devices I have owned.
Its a great device don't let the thought of not having a brand new device get you down!

- Seems like you're most likely not going to buy any phone if you're so discouraged after one faulty model... try getting an iPhone like me ( previously ) with terrible reception issues. At least Nokia offered to repair it and pay for shipping. Apple just told me to hold my phone differently...
But seriously, there is not a single brand that sells 100% fault-free devices. Postpone your rage and try solving this issue with Nokia - Verizon on the other hand might not be very helpful.01-10-2013 07:35 AM
- *sigh*
We have called Nokia. We have tried going over heads with Verizon. The highest level we could get is someone called an "Escalation Specialist". WTH is that?? If someone knows of a "backdoor" number we can call to bypass all of the call center idiots, I'm more than happy to try.
We bought and paid for a NEW product but got a bad product. And the bottom line (after 5 hours of runaround yesterday), is my husband is stuck with a refurb. And if the refurb is "bad", WE have to pay a $35 restocking fee. Total BS! And yes, I blame Nokia, too. Both companies are aware of this issue.01-10-2013 08:25 AM
- Agree with others...calm down and talk to Nokia. Their support is very good. Don't yell..talk..explain your issues respectfully.01-10-2013 08:29 AM
- Hi Katiegal :
I received a new 822 about two weeks ago myself and experienced the random power offs. There is a 'solution', sort of, in a few thread on this board that you can reference. It involves the volume key and power key. I did this three times in a two day span and the phone has not shut down (knock on wood) for the past six days. There will be a software update to address this, but no one knows when the update will arrive. In addition, the 'solution' mentioned his a hit or miss solution for 822 users, but I think it is worth a try.
I hope this information helps. Most of the other responders already addressed the Verizon customer service and shipping issues. While I am not a fan of Verizon, I personally have had a good experience with their customer service during my limited time with them so far. I hope that part improves for you and your husband.
To end, I appreciate his service. Thanks.01-10-2013 02:36 PM
I have been a Verizon customer with multiple lines over many years and have had unfortunately had countless issues with Verizon's customer service.
I have spent hours and hours of my time fighting them, but I refused to give up, and always got what I wanted from them. Based on my experience, call Verizon, by using 611 from a working phone, or the 800 number from a land line. When you get the automated voice prompt say "cancel service" This will immediately escalate the call past all of the call center reps and supervisors, to a Verizon office, explain to that rep everything you did in the initial post, make sure you get that reps name and location. If they refuse to resolve the issue to your satisfaction, then let them know you will be contacting the Better Business Bureau. Search for the BBB website, where they have an online form that you will fill out. Usually within 1 to 2 business days, a regional rep from the Verizon Executive office will contact you, and they will be your final stop to get everything resolved. They may not be pleasant to deal with, but they need to resolve the issue with you, so you can close the BBB ticket.01-10-2013 03:52 PM

Also you say "if the refurb is bad" - so the phone is working fine right now? I still don't see the problem here.
Y'know, Verizon made billions last year and has millions of customers to worry about. You seem really pompous here, like Verizon is a small mom and pop store that should bend over backwards to kiss your butt. You had a problem with a phone, they replaced the phone. Seems like you're upset over nothing, really.01-10-2013 03:56 PM
- One thing I would like to add about refurbs is that they are often the only devices checked out by a tech. Phones come off an assembly line, like everything else, they are given the once over, boxed and shipped. When a device is sent back for a problem a tech will troubleshoot the device and put it through many tests. Truth is, the refurbished unit you have is probably the one that is most likely to last.
I left Verizon years ago because it was expensive, then ATT, then Sprint, now T-Mo. I like customer service best at ATT and T-Mobile.
HTC 8X...and, loving it01-10-2013 04:05 PM
- Well, folks, guess what? Phone #2 is a dud, too. My husband got home from work and he's madder than a wet rooster. The refurb phone powered off twice today. He has already called verizon and they are sending another refurb. We're wondering if it's the battery or the sim card that is the problem? When they sent the first refurb, it's just a phone with no battery and no sim card. They had him transfer his to this one.
Any thoughts on whether it could be a bad battery or sim card causing this?

- The battery part is easy. Swap it with one of your other 822's and see if the problem follows. I'm not sure if the LTE phones go 100% by the SIM, but if so, you could swap the SIM between phones as well. If the number and activation are still tied to the phones, as CDMA phones normally are, then the process would be more difficult to verify, although simply putting the SIM in one of the other phones and seeing if it resets may still be doable.01-10-2013 07:36 PM

Most of these photos were taken from the roof of my apartment. I zoomed in as tightly as I could but also cropped the photos on my computer and dimmed the exposure somewhat. I think the blurriest ones were taken using the 'automatic' setting, while the clearer ones were taken using the 'low light' setting. The whole thing made me long for my film camera where I could better adjust shutter speed and f-stop.
Because the whole post is just glowing blobs on a black background, I have placed some of the images after the jump so less interested visitors don't get too bored.

Busy calendar remains for NHL teamsby Adam Kimelman
Just because the Stanley Cup has been awarded doesn't mean the end credits have rolled on the 2013-14 NHL season.
There are a number of big events coming in the next few weeks that will go a long way toward deciding which team is the final one standing a year from now.
The hard work started Monday when the window opened for teams to offer compliance buyouts to players. Under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, teams were given two special buyout provisions that allow them to buy out a player's contract while not having it count toward the salary cap. And those compliance buyouts only could be used following the 2012-13 and 2013-14 seasons.
Teams have until 5 p.m. ET on June 30 to decide to use a compliance buyout. The Chicago Blackhawks, Montreal Canadiens, Philadelphia Flyers and Toronto Maple Leafs have previously used their two compliance buyouts. The Detroit Red Wings, Edmonton Oilers, Minnesota Wild, Nashville Predators, New Jersey Devils, New York Islanders, New York Rangers, Tampa Bay Lightning, Vancouver Canucks and Washington Capitals all have used one.
In addition to dealing with their current roster, NHL teams will get to look to the future at the 2014 NHL Draft, to be held June 27-28 at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. The first round starts Friday at 7 p.m. ET (NBCSN, TSN). Rounds 2-7 start will start Saturday at 10 a.m. ET (NHLN-US).
The Florida Panthers have the top pick, but Panthers general manager Dale Tallon said he is open to trading the selection if the right offer comes along.
The Buffalo Sabres have the No. 2 pick, followed by the Edmonton Oilers, Calgary Flames and New York Islanders.
The Anaheim Ducks have two first-round picks, the Ottawa Senators' pick at No. 10 and their pick at No. 24. The Tampa Bay Lightning also have two picks in the first 30, their choice at No. 19 and the New York Rangers' pick at No. 28.
Among the top prospects are Kingston Frontenacs center Samuel Bennett, Barrie Colts defenseman Aaron Ekblad, Kootenay Ice center Sam Reinhart, and Prince Albert Raiders center Leon Draisaitl.
Once the draft settles comes the start of free agency at noon ET on July 1. Among the top unrestricted free agents expected to be available are forwards Marian Gaborik, Thomas Vanek, Jarome Iginla, Paul Stastny and Matt Moulson. Among the top defensemen are Matt Niskanen, Andrei Markov, Dan Boyle and Anton Stralman. Available goaltenders include Ryan Miller, Jonas Hiller, Martin Brodeur and Evgeni Nabokov.
Also becoming available if not signed by July 1 will be an impressive class of restricted free agents, a list topped by 2013 Norris Trophy winner P.K. Subban of the Canadiens. Also open to offer sheets are forwards Derick Brassard of the Rangers, Ryan O'Reilly of the Colorado Avalanche and Ryan Johansen of the Columbus Blue Jackets; defensemen Torey Krug of the Boston Bruins and Danny DeKeyser of the Detroit Red Wings; and goaltenders Darcy Kuemper of the Minnesota Wild and James Reimer of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
There will be some fun had among the hard work with the NHL Awards on June 24 (7 p.m. ET; NBCSN, CBC). The show will be broadcast from the Encore at Wynn Las Vegas and hosted by George Stroumboulopoulos, the recently named host of NHL on Rogers.
Among the awards presented will be the Hart Trophy for League MVP (finalists are Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins, Ryan Getzlaf of the Ducks and Claude Giroux of the Philadelphia Flyers; the Norris Trophy for the League's best defenseman (finalists are the Bruins' Zdeno Chara, the Blackhawks' Duncan Keith and Shea Weber of the Nashville Predators); and the Vezina Trophy for top goaltender (finalists are Ben Bishop of the Lightning, the Bruins' Tuukka Rask and the Avalanche's Semyon Varlamov.
