And it's name is WoW.
Well seeing as this is one of the exceedingly rare Zimmy journals, that for some reason people keep telling me to write, I should probably go into depth.
I avoided WoW for the longest time, none of my friends played it and I doubted my PC could run it. It was a simpler time, a time that actually had time....
Then FreeFall stuff kept getting more and more complicated and I was getting sick of sneaking into the Architecture computer labs to try and do editing, so after clearing out my bank and getting a few more personal loans I bought this:
a 17" MacBook Pro, I'm typing from it now. Massive video editing power at the tips of my fingertips and what does my friend suggest?
"We should start playing that World of Warcraft."
So after seeing it from afar with Sev and now experiencing it first hand I can honestly say WoW is detrimental to film making
I suppose that's all for now, though if any of you want to look me up I'm Horde on the Aman'Thul realm. The names Zuhimmi, sound familiar to anyone?

A Black Friday for Freefall
13 years agoZimmy
Despite the rather grim title today was a very good day.
Firstly it was the start of a 3 day weekend, a break from the complete and utter hell that comprises my job at the moment.
Secondly, I went shopping
A friend and I have been planning to start on the film making scene and today was the most expensive day of either of our short lives in which we purchased:
A Rode NTG-1 Condenser Microphone
A Miller DS-10 Tripod.
And of course, the crux of any hopeful director, a camera.
A Canon XL2.
Hopefull over the next few weeks we'll be able to start producing some shorts as we learn the ins and outs of all the equipment, with any luck even you Americans may get to go into a cinema and watch a movie from Freefall Films
In other news, a massive thankyou to Solid Syam for finding that GTA song for me. And Bessie (I know you watch me ) he wanted me to tell you that "he's the man."
3CCD or HD?Zimmy
Forum Topic
A friend and I are looking at video camera's to start doing some film making and have come across this descision, whether to use the slightly more reliable and cheaper 3CCD camera or to try and scrape up enough to buy the newer untested HD camera.
So I was wondering if anyone here had any experience using either type of camera and whether you had any advice.

G Grand Theft Auto
14 years agoZimmy
I own a car, it's a Hyundai Excel. 1998 model, I got it last year rather cheap and it has run amazingly up until now.
It has spent the last few weeks in the garage, in the end I needed to replace the gearbox and the clutch. Now that hit my pocket really hard, nearly two grand down. Plus another grand from a while back that went to the insurance company, for an accident that wasn't my fault.
Surely that must be the end of it? Nope, back into the garage the next day because something is wrong with the alternator apparently. Alternator was fine, but power seemed to becoming lost somewhere in the engine, mechanic told me to take it out and see if the battery would manage to right itself after a bit of driving.
Doesn't seem to be improving, so I plan to take it in right after a night I'd been planning with my friends. Manage to make it there, but the next day the battery had completely drained overnight from whatever the problem was. An hour and a half and one tow truck later I made it to the garage.
It's still there, waiting to see if they can find the problem so I can get my car back and go back to work. I'm a pizza boy, so I'm losing money each day I can't work in addition to that.
In other news semi-car related, I purchased San Andreas and am obsessed. I have always hated that whole gangster talk, but it seems to be permeating my entire life. I used the word nigga, to a white person. She did find it quite amusing, and she tends to call me asian so it's all good. But still, talking like that can't be healthy nigga.
I also notice that the number of users watching me is slowly increasing, why I have no idea since it seems I rarely do anything. But still a shout out to those, and appreciation for the thought. Maybe you lot (Or others who happen to come across this) could help me, in the original GTA there was a song that started "G Grand Theft Auto" and I would like to get a hold of it. But I don't know the title, the artist, nothing.
There goes my nice long, content filled journal. For all those who wait for my quality filled rants, peace out homies!

Need Sleep....
14 years agoZimmy
It is now Monday 4:12am Australian Western Standard time.
Since Thursday 9:30am I have had a grand total of 11 hours sleep. Almost none of which was in the last 48 hours.
And during that period, I was constantly at uni except for one two hour block.
Now I need to drive my dad to the airport, then I'll probably be heading back to uni.
More details to follow, soonish.
Promised Edit {4:55pm}: I am helping out for an event run by the University of Western Australia known as Prosh. Basically we make a newspaper which parodies the less than amazing state newspaper and then a couple of hundred uni students dress up and go sell them for charity.
The entire 24 page paper was written over that weekend, and was sent off to the publisher a couple of hours after this original post and a couple of hours before the deadline.
Any costume suggestions?

I don't know if milestones are a sponsor-only feature or not. I'd guess they aren't sponsor-only because some of the 107 I mentioned aren't sponsors and their profiles show the milestones. I know they aren't showing up for a lot of users, sponsors and non-sponsors alike.

• Elaine Chon-Baker •
Elaine Chon-Baker founded Mokja Ventures as a natural outgrowth of her love for food, finance and start-ups. She's an experienced investor whose career spans a variety of industries, such as environmental consulting, global telecom and eCommerce. She has invested in and provided operational and leadership support for several successful food and beverage concepts, including Water and Wall and Buttercream Bakeshop. Elaine is a global citizen who spent many years in London, and who now uses her aptitude for connecting people and organizations to inspire remarkable results in DC's thriving hospitality sector.
We chatted with Elaine about her vision for the future of food in DC, her role as an investor in this, and how and why "the future is female."
All photos provided by Elaine Chon-Baker
What draws you to the food industry and in particular, what gets you excited about the food industry in DC?
"The number one reason I invest in food is because everyone has to eat. There has been a huge surge in growth of the food and beverage industry in recent years, especially in DC. People have always loved to eat but what is different now is that we have the opportunity to choose how we eat. DC is a hotbed of collaboration and innovation - I love it!
"What keeps me excited about investing in the food industry is that I am looking for those opportunities where we can bring good food - good for both our bodies and for the earth - to people and with messaging that is easily accessible."
I want to invest in people and food businesses that are striving to do the right thing. Every little bit helps in getting to "tomorrow's kitchen." I love how Espita sources their corn for their tasty tortillas from Masienda, a company that works with smallholder farmers in Mexico to grow non-GMO, organic and heirloom corn. Whaley's does a brilliant job with sourcing sustainable seafood and teaching the diner more about where their food comes from. What keeps me excited about investing in the food industry is that I am looking for those opportunities where we can bring good food - good for both our bodies and for the earth - to people and with messaging that is easily accessible. Not an easy task. I love what sweetgreen, & Pizza and Cava are doing in DC - they're resetting consumer expectations and the fast casual dining experience.
It's not easy [running a restaurant] because the margins can be tight but as an investor, I get to choose what gets out there and help these businesses succeed. My dream is to be able to sit in that no-compromise sweet spot and invest in the leaders of tomorrow's food movement. Some may attain great success and others not but that is the gamble I take when I look for people with the vision, drive and hustle to make it happen.
What are the lessons you've learned about crafting your own career path? What are the factors that have both bolstered you and that you've had to overcome?
I've always felt this entrepreneurial spirit in my family - my dad was a engineer/creator and an entrepreneur and my mom stayed at home to raise seven girls. She ran the household and made sure we learned how to do everything and excelled everywhere possible. The most noticeable thing in our childhood was that we grew up knowing we were not boys. There was a huge amount of pressure from my Dad's family to produce a son to carry on the family name. There was always some disappointment that it was another girl. We always felt the need to prove to ourselves that we were just as good as boys. All of my sisters are high achievers and we always questioned "was this good enough?" even if our parents never explicitly wanted that from us.
Throughout my life is this thread of proving to myself and to my parents that I can do things just as well as anyone else. I think this has given me a sense of hustle - for taking what you have and turning it into something. I had other jobs in IT, telecom and startups before being an investor but landed in this because I was able to be an entrepreneur without taking on a full-time operational role. Food has always been important to me - every day we would sit down for a family meal growing up. I think because of this foundation, I've chosen food to invest in because at the end of the day it makes me really happy.
I came from the outside - I knew very few people in the food and beverage world. My big leap into DC's food scene was spurred by my divorce. I needed something tangible to do, something to feel like I accomplished something every day since marriage wasn't working out so I started working the back office at Water & Wall. I began to go to lots of events, met some great people and joined industry groups, like pineapple, where you have a framework for interacting and finding ways to support one another. When we support and boost each other up, we can do great things.
How would you describe your work? Is investing an art, a science - what has remained consistent in your investing philosophy, what has changed?
More of an art... I would describe my work as an investor as the desire to help someone succeed and providing the means to do so. Our goal in the VC fund is to be a supportive investor once we decide to invest in a concept. We want to invest in the right operators from the get go. There are lots of great chefs but only a small percentage that are strong operators. We trust you with using the funds we've invested to execute on your vision and plan. This means that a lot of time and energy goes into deciding who and what to invest in. We seek great operators who make great food but also understand the business, especially the numbers, and are always learning and growing. Most important thing is that we want to know about issues before it's too late. Happy to advise, mentor, give an opinion or give a hug, but at the end of the day this is your business and you have to fulfill your obligations to your investors. We trust you to run a successful operation. Mutual trust is so important.
My ex-husband and I first made an investment in Catoctin Creek Distilling Company and that investment was made from a place of excitement and belief in the people and the business. But I had no idea how distillery economics works or what the fine print meant. The second investment was in Tim Ma's Water and Wall, and my ex and I were his first investors so we worked together closely to find an agreement that made sense for both sides. This was an important lesson in investing time and energy up front in building the relationship as a partnership from the beginning. I made my money back in just 15 months. In retrospect, I realized that if I was going to continue to invest after getting divorced, I needed to be as knowledgeable as I could be about everything that I could be - especially the numbers.
"Gut instinct has a place in investing. If you do not feel good about the people or the situation, don't do it. "
Another big lesson over the years is that working with the right people is critical. Gut instinct has a place in investing. If you do not feel good about the people or the situation, don't do it. I have made this mistake before and not listened to my gut - I ended up losing a lot of money and that was a lesson in listening to my inner voice.
From this, I learned that even if there is no hard penalty for saying no to a deal, I - and I think a lot of women - have great emotional resistance to hurting someone's feelings by saying no. I have to remember that I have fiduciary responsibility for all of my investments and am making decisions based on the whole package - leadership, team, concept, location etc. Even though it is hard to say no, I have to if it is the right decision. I am in the tricky position of having to make decisions in advance of what I think will be successful and what will be less so, and my instinct is what helps me make those decisions.
Can you share more about the type of relationship or partnership between investor and investee? Is the dynamic different when the investee is male or female?
"When I talk to some women in the industry to understand their vision and goal to open their own concept, the one noticeable trait is that they do not have the confidence to move forward. They say no to themselves before others say no to them."
There are two sides to this - women as the investors and women as the investees. In DC, there are very few female restaurant investors - the only other big player I know is Hilda Staples. There are women operating at a high level in the food industry but you don't hear a lot about them. It's refreshing to talk to women who are interested in investing! We need more female investors! We have a different sense for investing, in all sectors.
On the investee end, I have two investments in women-run businesses and I want there to be more. They are rock stars! However, when I talk to some women in the industry to understand their vision and goal to open their own concept, the one noticeable trait is that they do not have the confidence to move forward. They say no to themselves before others say no to them. I do not see this as often with the men I speak with. A lot of these women do not have the "bravado" for success yet. I would love for them to know that I think they could run a better business than most of the men who think they can do it.
"I believe great female leaders can foster an entirely different operating environment. They tend to be better managers because they listen and empathize, can engage their staff and encourage development and progress."
I believe great female leaders can foster an entirely different operating environment. They tend to be better managers because they listen and empathize, can engage their staff and encourage development and progress. Even if there continues to be more women in the food industry, men still dominate it and I think it's related to this lack of confidence and pushing ourselves forward. Women have to prove themselves all the time and I want all the women in this business out there to know that you can do this - whether it's running a business or making great products or building an industry group. We have to take the steps to get out there and meet the right people. I think that is why pineapple DC is so important - your network matters and pineapple brings us together to achieve our goals. It is hard work but with great support, you feel stronger, bolstered and therefore do more.
"The future is female" is a concept/slogan that has gained prominence in recent years. You are a mom - how do you contextualize this statement in your parenting? What are the things you want your daughter to know as she grows into her own as a young woman?
My parents obviously knew that the "future is female" through raising 7 daughters! And I believe in the power that all women have. We are the ones that really lead the dance. I want my daughter to have confidence and inner strength no matter what challenges are facing her. I want my boys to be awesome men - and by that I mean, be a support to awesome women. The chilling part of moments during this election is that you have to find a way to rationalize things even when you are scared inside and then find ways to raise your kids to be compassionate global citizens in the face of all of this rhetoric. But I will and they will be okay. Our three family rules still apply in all situations: 1. Always be kind, 2. Show gratitude and 3. Don't shame the family name.
My brother-in-law said recently, "women are are going to dominate and this is just the beginning." He turned to my daughter and said, "you are poised to do great things," and her immediate response was, "I already am."
At pineapple DC, we're all about creating a better food system in ways big and small. What's one hope (or more) that you would have for DC or our country's food system?
I think that ultimately, this generation and the next have to be driving towards the same goal and movement towards a better food system because it will take everyone to do this. We all have a role -- everyone from the farmers, suppliers to the investors, food writers, owners/operators to the staff and especially, the diners and consumers. We are all delicately interconnected and we have to be in it together. With everyone playing a role, we all get closer to doing the right thing. Everyone has to make money and it's still a business but we need to take the right steps towards reaching these bigger goals of a better food system - one investor, one supplier, one operator, one diner at a time.
The hardest thing right now is that we have to change habits and that's not easy. I know we are all busy but we have to schedule it in - food can be the last thing we think about and that's when we make rushed, poor food decisions. But I know from personal experience that if I plan on cooking dinner or making our lunch for the next day then the chance of it happening is really high.
"We need to take the right steps towards reaching these bigger goals of a better food system - one investor, one supplier, one operator, one diner at a time. "
Restaurants will never go away, but teaching ourselves and our kids the value of cooking and gardening is even more important. Very few people know how to garden these days! There are so many things we've lost touch with - cooking, gardening, sewing, cleaning etc - and now as a parent, we have to be intentional about this. Thankfully, with my parents living with me and the kids, we are able to share in learning from each other - I teach them to cook, my dad to garden, my mom makes sure they know how to sew a button back on and the kids provide tech support in return. We all lead fast lives and sometimes we use that as an excuse for why we can't do better, but it is absolutely possible if we make the time for it."

I am Sherry Davenport Hall. I am an old retired teacher of 62 and this is my first blog so you will have to forgive the rambling. My Dad was Bertram Davenport, son of Lonnie Riley Davenport and Della Jane Kelly, hence the Davenport/Kelley-Kelly reunion. I put both spellings because along the way the name was spelled both ways and I don't want to make anyone mad by misspelling their name. Anyway, Lonnie's father was Sidney Jackson, and his father was Clabe Davenport. I will be putting some of my pics on the site as well as some of the old pictures that Daddy had of the family. I can't say enough "thank yous" to all of those that attended our 2nd annual reunion and most of all a big "thanks" to Greg for really helping to keep us out of old dusty, moldy basements/vaults of courthouses, city halls, and libraries looking for names, dates, and tidbits of info on our big family. We hope that you out there will not feel that what you know is insignificant and unimportant, because I would still be stuck on Clabe and PollyAnn if it wasn't for a little woman named EllaVee Davenport Mask sharing a couple of sheets of paper with Daddy. Again, thank you one and all for the beautiful memories and keep that info coming.What an awesome site! Love to all out there, Sherry D Hall

Pre-teens aren't attempting to play kiddie games but aren't yet teenagers. They're not going to wish to play running games yet aren't actually prepared to just spend time. Here are a few suggestions for your pre-teen party.
Untie the Knot
Put the visitors in 2 separate circles. Keep these things raise a hands and grasp someone's hands on the other side of the circle. Then, utilizing their free hands, carry the hands of someone different near by. Without releasing they have to try solve themselves. The very first team to do this may be the champion.
Matching Figures
Identify couples from real existence or fiction like Lady Di and Charles, Peter Pan and Wendy or Willie Wonka and Charlie. Place certificates on every persons' back identifying them. Each individual then asks 1 question of all the body else till they uncover who they really are. They might only inquire for example shall we be held man or woman, a imaginary character or real person, dead or alive, etc. After they identify themselves, they are able to start searching for his or her partners. The winners are the initial matching couple.
Toilet Tissue Game
This can be a wonderful ice breaker – particularly if the visitors have no idea one another well. As each guest arrives keep these things have a strip of bathroom paper off a roll. When everybody can there be obtain the visitors to sit down inside a circle. Beginning using the birthday person, each individual must reveal something about themselves comparable to the amount of squares they tore off. You might pass a bowl of sweets around. Tell each guest to consider a hands full. They have to tell a secret for every sweet they required.
Balloon Defense
Tie a balloon to every persons' ankle. The concept would be to try stamp on every other peoples balloons to pop them without getting yours burst. Listed here are tons more wonderful balloon games.
Note for Note
Have an array of popular CD's (preferably of mixed artists) along with a CD player which enables you to definitely go forward to the center of an audio lesson. Press play anywhere in the center of an audio lesson and play for just two seconds. Whomever identifies the song first will get a toothpick. The main one most abundant in toothpicks within the finish wins. You might have them find out the song or artist.
Questions and Solutions
Get each individual to create a means-out question on certificates. Fold and put inside a bowl. Keep these things write a line using their favorite song on another sheet of paper. Fundamental essentials solutions. Pass the questions around and let everybody take one. Each individual will get a use read their question, then take an "answer" in the second bowl and sing it when they be aware of song. Some really amusing solutions to questions emerge! And strange versions to songs too.
Stork the lantern
Farmville is performed best outdoors during the night. One child is "it" and sits having a flash light or lantern. They have to consider the light. Another children re-locate in to the dark. They struggle get as near to the lantern as you possibly can. The individual using the light attempts to listen for noises or place movement. They look up and say something similar to "I help you using the red shirt". That individual then sits lower. The kid that will get the nearest towards the lantern wins.
Among the several things that you would require in making of a true leader, the most important would be the number of followers you gain. You should make use of Bubble Soccer that caters to your leadership skill enhancing needs in the best manner possible.

Take a Deep Breath and Read--Guest Post from Caitelen
She curls up next to me with a pile of picture books and half-whispers to herself:
"Take a deep breath, and read."
Simple words, not intended as a command. Yet, from the lips of that babe, what my heart needed to hear was this call:
Take a breath, Mama. But don't just breathe. Breathe deeply.
Slow down and dive into a luxurious tale with a toddler.
Enter into the wonder she experiences in narrative.
And then….leave some of those dishes in the sink and go read something that gets you out of your own head. Read something that challenges and inspires you.
Stop outputting for 5 minutes and recharge.
Fill the well!
Drink deeply of His Word.
You NEED it like you need air.
Why is it that my daughter wants the same story read to her again and again? She knows almost every line by heart.
Because, simply hearing the story once isn't knowing it. And even "knowing" it by heart isn't enough. She wants to experience it again and again. She wants to participate in the drama of the narrative, feel the anticipation climbing from page to page toward the end. There's a kind of security in the repetition of it. A kind of strength in consistency that brings about calm and knowing. And, in the really good stories, the ending leaves her with both a sense of completion, yet wonder at what's beyond those final pages.

Chapter Twenty-Eight
Crestwell Abbey, Cumberland, April 17th, 1816
Rowena laid both of her hands on his beloved face. "Alex, I love you so much. I now know that what I felt for Johnston was not love at all, only infatuation. You are my true and only love, Alex, my strong, handsome husband."
Alex had only one question. "What can you have seen in me to have you love me, Rowie?"
She had only one answer. "I have seen you, my love. You, the man with the very large heart filled to the brim with love and commitment for everything and everyone that needs his help."
Rowena swallowed as tenderness threatened to close her throat. "Alex, my love, when you rescued me from a cold and certain death, when I felt your strong arms around me, when I came to rest against your warm, strong chest, I knew I had come home at last. I needed someone to give me back my purpose in life. I was lost and you made me find myself again. But … as I discovered soon enough, you needed rescuing, too. You were lost when you were forced to end your life as a soldier, so lost that you retired here and shut out the world."
"That is so true, my darling. I lost all hope after Waterloo, but having you here restored my interest in the rest of my life. Thank you for rescuing me, my love."
"No, Alex, thank God for giving us the chance to rescue each other."
She threw her arms around him and fiercely kissed him.
And he kissed her back with all his love singing in his heart. And, of course, exchanging heated kisses was not enough.
Rowena shivered when Alex drew her to her feet, turned her around, and began unbuttoning her gown. Kissing his way down her exposed back, he let his hands glide to her front and lifted the gown away from her. Good Lord! Rowena gasped in anticipation when he skimmed the top of her corset with his thumbs until her nipples were hard inside the stiff material. The blood was pounding in her ears as he started undoing her laces. She arched her back and lifted her arms to permit him to remove her corset. Thrilling sparks were swirling through her breasts and abdomen, all the way down to her core. She felt hot and wet there, pulsing in need for him. A low moan escaped her when he drew her shift over her head, then he scooped her up to lay her on their bed. The only items of clothing that remained were her drawers and stockings. Her drawers were wet with desire, and she put a hand against her core, gasping when a spear of desire ran through her.
Alex heard it and felt a hot, satisfying stab of masculine pride. She wanted him as much as he wanted her, but he was not going to rush things, not now. Positioning himself at the foot of the bed, he stretched out his arms.
"Come, my love. Uncover me, please." He had used his most throaty voice, and it had not been hard to do that. His wife rose to her knees and came toward him. Slowly, she began unbuttoning his coat, touching her breasts as she did so. Holy Christ, but she had learned a thing or two in their marriage! When his coat was off, she started with his waistcoat, stroking her belly with slow movements, leaving him so aroused he had to draw on his control as best as he could. Minx! Dear, sexy minx …
When Rowena reached for his shirt buttons, she was so thoroughly aroused that she almost hurt down there. It was an immense relief to be able to let her hands roam over his broad chest, smooth velvet over granite. Oh, how splendid he was! Her next task was to free him from his trousers and cradle his engorged manhood. She heard his gasp of pleasure when she took his balls into her hands, massaging and stroking them softly.
"Christ, Rowie … stop or I swear I will come into your hands …"
"Oh, but we cannot permit that, can we, my love?" She retreated to the head of the bed and lay down on her back. "Let us do away with all these interfering items of clothing, my lover", she purred and began stripping off her drawers.
Alex swallowed as he toed off his shoes, then pulled off his stockings. Rowena was doing the same in a slow, languorous way that brought saliva to his parched mouth. He was naked when she finally spread her legs, exposing herself to him. In seconds, he was on top of her, entering her with one swift thrust. She came immediately and hard, crying out in delight, and he followed her, roaring in extasy, when his seed gushed into her. So far for proceeding slowly, he winced. But oh, how delicious this had been.
Spent and exhausted, Alex turned onto his side, taking Rowena with him. They snuggled spoon-wise under the covers, and he buried his nose into her glorious dark hair. "Rowie, I love you so much … I love you, love you, love you …"
Rowena chuckled and turned toward him, never leaving the cocoon of his arms. "And I love you, Alex. Very, very much."
She paused, kissed his stubble-strewn chin and sighed. "When I first spoke to you in the library, I was actually relieved that you could not see me. I am sorry, Alex, but there it is. When you offered me your hand because you deemed it unwise that I should stand overlong in my condition, but … do you remember that moment, dearest?"
"Yes," Alec said hoarsely, "oh, yes. You took my hand, and a jolt of awareness shot up my entire arm. Christ, Rowie, it scared me out of my wits."
"I had the same experience, my love. I was instantly attracted to you and scolding myself for my silly reaction. I would scold myself many times after until I realized I was in love with you."
"Oh, and when was that, my beauty?"
"Oh, no, it is your turn now, my lord! I have bared my heart enough to you!"
Her laugh tinkled so happily that Alex felt a distinctive tug at his heart. "I think you know very well when exactly you captured my heart, love." His voice almost broke as he remembered the moment.
"No," she whispered, "please, tell me."
Alex kissed the top of her little pert nose, marvelling that she had to ask. "Do you remember when I asked you if you would allow me to feel you with my fingers?"
A rosy hue flushed her entire face, causing him to be aroused once more. She was so beautiful, so innocent and spontaneous, his dear little wife.
"That was rather clever of me, was it not? Although, at the time, I got what I deserved, my love. I fell deeply in love with the feel of your lovely face. God, Rowie, you do not know how fiercely I wanted to kiss you then and there."
"So it was love at the first feel, was it?" she whispered, caressing his beloved face with a gentle hand.
"It was …," he croaked, laying his hand over hers.
They fell silent for a while, just enjoying being together. Being in love with each other.
Then Rowena whispered the words he so longed to hear.
"Let us go home, dearest. To Ketteridge House …"
The End
Dear Reader,
I hope you've enjoyed my story as much as I enjoyed writing it. Please let me know what you think about Rowena's and Alex' story. Post a review on this site or e-mail me on www.luce-fleming.be. Thank you for reading me.

|Martin Frobisher
(ca 1539 – 1594)
On November 22, 1594, English seaman and explorer Sir Martin Frobisher passed away. He is best known for his three voyages to the New World to look for the Northwest Passage.
In 1544, Martin Frobisher went to sea the first time and was captured about ten years later by a Portugese crew. In the 1560s, he decided to undertake a journey searching for the Northwest Passage in order to establish a trade route to India and China. Unfortunately, it took more than 5 years to gather the needed funding. In 1576, Frobisher met an English merchant consortium called the Muscovy Company that already sent teams to find the Northeast Passage. The company's director Michael Lok then helped the adventurer to raise the badly needed money. They managed to gather a total of three ships, the Gabriel and Michael, each weighing about 25 tons and another lighter ship. The crew consisted of about 35 men and set sail on 7 June, 1576 . Unfortunately, all ships but the Gabriel got lost due to heavy storms. However, the Gabriel sighted the coast of Labrador very soon. The mouth of Frobisher Bay was reach just shortly after followed by heavy ice storms. Frobisher decided to sail towards the west and made a stop at Baffin Island in 1576. Having met a couple of local Inuits, they made an agreement that the natives would guide the crew through the region. Frobisher gathered a team of five men who were supposed to discover the near region. Unfortunately, the men never returned. The remaining crew sailed back home and even though the journey was in general regarded as fruitless, Frobisher began immediately to raise funds for another travel.
Already one year later, specific plans for the next journey were made. Martin Frobisher was appointed high admiral "of all lands and waters that might be discovered by him". This crew was much bigger. Around 150 men, being miners, soldiers and refiners, sailed towards Frobisher Bay and reached it in July of the same year. The crew collected big loads of ore first and attempts were made to rescue the lost five men from the last mission, but it was hopeless. The crew returned to England in 1577 and was thanked by the queen herself.
As the government was quite happy with the outcome of the second voyage, another, much bigger one was being planned. The goal was to establish a colony of over 100 men and all necessary equipment was supposed to be taken with. This time, 15 vessels were needed and the expedition set sail in 1578. When they arrived, several attempts were made to establish a settlement, but too much dissatisfaction and several disagreements prevented the crew to do so. They reached England in the beginning of October.
In later years, Martin Frobisher took charge of another fleet but was shot in 1594, he passed away on 22 November.
As Martin Frobisher was not the only one trying to find the Northwest Passage, you may be interested in who else traveled his way and what they accomplished. At yovisto, you may enjoy a short video, demonstrating the discovery of the passage.

Not surprisingly, Thurston Moore's upcoming solo album, Trees Outside The Academy, (Sept 18 via Ecstatic Peace) has been getting a lot of our attention since catching Sonic Youth's performance of Daydream Nation, in its entirety, at the Greek Theatre, in July.
Those of you who caught Thurston's acoustic performance at this years SXSW, have an idea to the flow and atmosphere the twelve new tracks inhabit. Check out this great teaser video, below, the track "Ono Soul" off 1995's Psychic Hearts, and the beautifully arranged "The Shape Is In A Trance" off the upcoming Trees Outside The Academy LP.
Details: "This newborn disc is 12 songs long. Thurston recorded primarily on acoustic guitar and bass, laying down the core of the tunes with drummer compatriot Sonic Youth's Steve Shelly and violinist Samara Lubelski, a noted player from MV/EE and The Golden Road, Hall of Fame and other awesome gatherings as well as solo artiste.
Most of the tunes are lyric driven but there are a couple of majestic instrumentals like Trees Outside The Academy, which brings the album to a musical and breathless close. There's also some weird cassette tape that Thurston found at his mom's of him at 13 years old in the early 70s making some kind of sound-theatre. It's kinda nuts, and it's the last "hidden" track. Tracks like Frozen Gtr, The Shape Is In A Trance, Silver>Blue, Never Day and Fri/end (a theme song to the hippest TV show yet to be broadcast) will lead you in to a sparkling and heavy new world of Thurston's heart, mind and soul."
