Welcome to the forum!
I have a 6'X14' single axle but I upgraded the axle to a 5300# with electric brakes. The
axle is a standard leaf spring that way I can flip the axle should I need the extra clearance
also the 7 way plug gives me the options of being able to charge the trailer's "house" battery(s),
through a converter should I choose to install one and I can add circuitry for back-up lights
should I, again, choose to. Options that you can discuss with the dealership if you go that way
or to consider should you buy a used one from C/L or some other source. Any way each is like
an empty canvas just waiting for the artist ...

Wondering how Brisbane home designs and Father's Day are related? You're about to find out.
Have you put any thought to Father's Day? It is only around the corner. In this blog post we are going to look at some of the best and most thoughtful house gifts money can buy for the dads of this world. But, we are going to look at these gifts and see how they apply to a specific Newstart Homes, Brisbane home design, The Grange 38. But (again), we are also going to look at gifts that are great for not only the dads, but for the mothers, wives and children. These gifts will make your house a home. Let's dive right in.
The home we're applying these Father's Day gifts to is:
The Grange — premier Brisbane home designs
The Grange 38 is known for its smart design, delivering quality modern living environments all round. The living spaces are adaptable, open to air and light that is borrowed from the alfresco dining areas. Not only can you escape to a secluded lounge and separate media room, but there is an additional activity room for the kids ensuring there is more than enough space for everyone.
Now, that is all well and good. But what The Grange 38 is really renowned for, in just one word, is space. With four bedrooms, two bathrooms sitting on a total of 355.70m2, and an alfresco dining area to boot…
The Grange is the perfect Brisbane home design for those wanting contemporary, architecturally-inspired lifestyles on acreage.
Father's Day presents for Brisbane home designs
So, what do you do with all that space? What does dad need? It depends if you want him hanging around or not! If you think dad needs a day to relax, then how about banishing him to his very own man cave out in the backyard?
It depends on how much you are willing to spend on dad, but Simply Sheds have a great selection of small and large outdoor sheds, as well as workshop sheds. The best part is these Brisbane sheds suit any home design in the Newstart Homes collections. Dad could head out back to the workshop on a Sunday afternoon and put his handiwork to use.
Okay, but maybe we want dad around on a Sunday afternoon, and with the expansive and stunning alfresco dining area… yep, you guessed it, a new barbecue.
No Brisbane home design is complete without a barbecue, the perfect companion to the south east Queensland summer.
And just a heads up, now is the perfect time to buy while there are still some end of financial year sales on. Or you can put your some of your tax return towards one. Check out the great deals on Weber Barbecues at the moment at The Good Guys! There's plenty of store locations around Brisbane.
What better gift to give dad than a new barbecue? And don't just think it's for him.
You and the family will be repaid in amazing food!
Try Barbecues Galore for a larger selection.
What home gifts can I buy for a spacious Brisbane home design?
Moving on. Let's now consider what Father's Day gifts you can buy that are more of a gift for yourself than for him, or more for the kids. How about a trampoline? The beauty of The Grange is that there's room for everyone. If you want to have a little parents retreat, you can by utilising one of the many feature rooms while the kids play. But, there's nothing better for kids than the great outdoors.
A trampoline is a fantastic way to promote exercise and get the kids playing nicely together. With the sheer size of The Grange, maybe you want to go a little bigger than your foot trampoline, and get an enclosed trampoline like this one from Kmart. Trampolines aren't notorious for safety but their design has improved over the years, and the enclosure proves to dramatically reduce the chance of injuries.
We hope this list of gifts, and their application to one of our Brisbane home designs, has given you some inspiration for Father's Day.
Remember, dads love new toys for around the house. Keep in mind you might have to combine dad's birthday present with his Father's Day one to get him something like a work shed.

"The terrorists of the National Liberation Front (NFL) affiliated to the Turkish Army will soon be dissolved in Tahrir al-Sham as the militant groups have agreed to form an integrated military structure," the Arabic-language Anab Baladi affiliated to militants quoted a source close to Ankara-backed Free Syrian Army (FSA) as saying.
The source noted that the scenario started after Tahrir al-Sham's dominance over most of Idlib's regions.
He said that according to the plan, Idlib province will be divided into two sections in political and military terms; the Ankara-backed Faylaq al-Sham terrorists will take charge of the political affairs and Tahrir al-Sham will represent the military wing.
Tahrir al-Sham leader Abu Mohammad Julani had previously called for setting up integrated military formation in Idlib province with the partnership of all terrorist groups once again, after he voiced full support for Turkey's assault on Kurdish militants.
Tahrir al-Sham, enjoying Ankara's support, has recently gained control over 9,000 square kilometers of lands in Aleppo, Lattakia and Idlib provinces.
In a relevant development on Thursday, the Syrian army warded off new offensives by Tahrir al-Sham al-Hay'at and other allied terrorists in the demilitarized zone against their positions in Northern Hama and Southern Idlib, inflicting heavy damages and tolls on them.
The Syrian army units in Northern Hama launched heavy artillery and missile attacks on Jeish al-Izza terrorists in regions near the town of Hasraya who intended to infiltrate into the army-controlled regions, destroying militants' strongholds and killing and wounding several of them.
Also, the army troops stationed in areas near the village of Zalin in Northern Hama targeted terrorists' positions in the town of al-Latamineh in response to their attacks, inflicting heavy damages and casualties on them.
The Syrian army forces also repelled an offensive by Tahrir al-Sham from al-Katibeh al-Mahjoureh region against military points in Eastern Idlib, killing and wounding several militants.
Meantime, the artillery units of the army targeted the positions and moves of terrorists in Sakik, Sahal, al-Baraj, Mas'adah and Tal Khatarah in Southern and Southeastern Idlib, destroying several of their military vehicles and equipment and killing a number of terrorists.

'Heroes Wanted for an epic quest to hack the universe. Starting with earth. Safe return doubtful.'*
Alex McManus wonders about what kind of human will migrate through our solar system and beyond:
Seth Godin also writes about our risky mission: producing our art being where we take most of our risks and are shaping the future:
'Art is a leap into the void, a chance to give birth to your genius and to make magic where there was no magic before.'**
Then I read this from Anne Lamott:
'[Mercy] gives us the chance to rediscover something both old and original, the sweet child in us who, all evidence to the contrary, was not killed off, but just put in a drawer.'**
Mercy is not so much something we offer to others (and ourselves) in particular moments when they or we have messed up but more about the kind of atmosphere and environment we create and move through all of the time. A kind of "terra-forming" we're all capable of. And even if we've forgotten how, mercy offers us another chance. That's the great thing about mercy and the future.

The police force, like many other places of employment, has fitness standards that can impact a person's ability to stay employed or perform certain duties. One Colorado police department is facing allegations of employment discrimination related to how the department handles fitness tests. The suit filed against the police department contends women should be held to different physical fitness standards compared to men.
Colorado police force faces charges of employment discrimination
Internet giant, Google, sued for age discrimination
Google is once again making news for a legal situation as the company faces allegations of discrimination. The Internet giant is being sued in federal court by a man who claims the company practices age discrimination. Any tech worker in Colorado or those interested in breaking into the tech field may want to learn more about the allegations the company currently faces.
Shipyard accused of race discrimination, lawsuit filed
When a workplace discrimination lawsuit is filed in Colorado or elsewhere, it isn't uncommon for other workers or former workers to join in and also pursue a fair resolution based on their own experiences with a specific employer. One such claim was recently filed against a shipyard in another state. The initial suit included six people who filed race discrimination charges. Recently, 15 more people joined the federal lawsuit.
Ruby Tuesday must defend against employment discrimination
Many industries, including the restaurant industry, provide unique opportunities for employees to earn more or to take part in special assignments working at seasonal locations. This type of in-house promotion opportunity or ability to take part in a new venture can be a much-coveted chance sought out by a company's best employees in Colorado or elsewhere. One nationwide restaurant chain, Ruby Tuesday, recently sought workers to temporarily transfer to a different location only to then find itself fighting off an employment discrimination charge.
Employment discrimination can be more complicated than expected
When an employee feels unfairly treated or discriminated against in some way, he or she may have that gut feeling as to why he or she is being treated unfairly or differently compared to other employees. However, simply having a feeling of being the victim of employment discrimination isn't enough to take legal action. In order to pursue a case of employment discrimination against a Colorado employer, you must be part of a legally protected class.
Saks store defends against employment discrimination claim
A discrimination claim of any sort can be complicated and involve situations that may be murky and not as cut and dry as other similar cases may be. One recent case of alleged employment discrimination is gaining notoriety due to the fact that an ex-employee of the well-known department store Saks & Co. is suing for discrimination based on her transgender status. In Colorado, any employee who feels they have been targeted under any scope of discrimination may be interested in following the case.
Man files employment discrimination suit against health clinic
Discrimination can encompass a number of behaviors and actions. Anyone in Colorado who feels that he or she has suffered changes to his or her employment or has been let go from a position based on employment discrimination may be interested in a recent case involving a man who has filed suit against a health clinic. The man claims that he was transferred and replaced because of his race.
Employment discrimination cases can be complex
Feeling as if you have been discriminated against and proving discrimination in court may be two very different things. Despite the difficulties that may surround a discrimination suit, employment discrimination is a very real thing and victims should be aware of their rights. In Colorado, there are very clear laws governing employment discrimination.
Teacher alleges age discrimination and sues school
Whenever a person leaves a job or is let go and feels that discrimination played a role in why he or she no longer has that job, that person has legal options of which he or she may not be aware. There are also various forms of workplace discrimination that may unfold and be difficult to prove under certain conditions. Any teachers in Colorado or elsewhere who may feel that age discrimination played a role in why they may no longer have a job may want to learn more about the story of one teacher and her claims of age discrimination.
Colorado employees must know employment discrimination facts
It isn't unusual for a worker to feel disgruntled or unappreciated from time to time. But, if a worker genuinely feels that he or she is being directly discriminated against, and his or her feelings are more than just a hunch, that worker may want to learn about legal actions pertaining to employment discrimination. It is vital for any Colorado worker concerned about employment discrimination to understand protected classes and where he or she may fall into the various categories.

NURSING HOMES: Lawmakers Urged to Ensure Seniors' Health, Safety
Although Gov. Gray Davis (D) last year vetoed a measure, sponsored by Assemblyman Kevin Shelley (D-San Francisco), that would have imposed "tough standards" on the state's nursing homes, a San Diego Union-Tribune editorial notes that in this session, Davis has offered a revised version of the bill that appears headed for "easy passage." Having already cleared one committee, the bill should sail through the Legislature, the editorial contends, unless "unruly lawmakers" join Sen. John Vasconcellos (D-San Jose) to press for the original bill. Calling him a "unreconstructed liberal who loves to roil the legislative waters," the editorial states that Vasconcellos, who believes Shelley's bill is better than the governor's, reintroduced the original measure. While "horror stories abound of helpless patients" suffering in inhuman conditions, the editorial urges lawmakers to work toward a compromise that will "ensure that California's burgeoning senior population ... is not put at risk in poorly run long term care facilities." Calling on legislators to "reach consensus on a measure that will strengthen state oversight of nursing homes, stiffen penalties for abuses and provide the financial support needed to prevent staff turnover," the editorial concludes, "Gov. Davis has repeatedly stressed the importance of seniors being allowed to age with dignity. Raising health and safety standards in California nursing homes is crucial to achieving that humane objective" (5/5).This is part of the California Healthline Daily Edition, a summary of health policy coverage from major news organizations.

Recently, my good friend and client, Jon Speer of Creo Quality, sent me a post from the Marketing Tech Blog called "Using Social Networks for CRM". Here's a recap of the article:
Ways to use the "big three" networks for CRM:
1. Facebook – categorize your contacts into lists of friends, segment, and create privacy settings (Free).
2. Twitter – categorize those you follow with the unlimited lists feature that was recently added to Twitter (Free).
3. LinkedIn – categorize contacts into folders, add notes and contact information with the Profile Organizer ($24.95/mo)
It's an interesting read and if you are an avid Facebooker, Tweeter, or LinkedIn user the tips given in this article could be fun to use and free as long as you don't use LinkedIn.
The problem is that a strong CRM tool should not only be fun and easy to use, but allow you to leverage your CRM data to track sales and lead opportunities. At this point I have not seen this capability in Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn.
If you are looking for a good CRM tool that is inexpensive and not cumbersome there are plenty out there outside of social media. Drop us a line and we'll point you in the right direction.

Becoming a Dump Truck Driver
Though it's not a career path considered by many, driving a dump truck can be an interesting and rewarding line of work. It can be difficult and dirty, but it can also be financially rewarding, and allows you to be an important part of some very interesting projects.
The first step you need to take in order to become a dump truck driver is to take the test for the Commercial Driver's License, or CDL. You can take this test at your local branch of the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). You will need to take both a written and driving test, and will need to schedule this in advance. Typically, DMV offers CDL tests one Saturday every month. If you have never driven any kind of truck before, it may be helpful to take a class that can help you prepare for both exams. These classes are typically one to two days long.
There are two types of CDL: Class A and Class B. Class A will qualify you to drive semi-trailer trucks, while a Class B CDL is usually the minimum required to drive a dump truck. Most employers find it more difficult to find Class A holders, so if you take the time to get one, you will probably be more sought-after.
Another thing you can do, especially if you lack experience in operating any type of heavy equipment, is to enroll in a heavy equipment operations course. These courses are frequently offered by your local community college. Or you can check with the National Heavy Equipment Operator's School to see if they offer programs in your local area. Even though you may not wish to spend any money in order to get into this line of work, it is frankly very difficult to break in if you have no experience.
A good school will give you the background you need for an employer to be willing to hire you. If it is a reputable program, companies will know that they will have taught you the basics and give you enough practical training that you will be able to start working right out of the gate. Another bonus is that these courses will often train you to operate other types of heavy equipment, which will make you even more valuable to the company that hires you.
Costs at these schools run from $2700 to $6000 for a Class A CDL and $750 to $2400 for a Class B CDL. Some companies offer tuition reimbursement if you sign on to work for them, so be sure to ask about that.
If you cannot afford a school, or if there is none available in your
area, look for companies that are willing to provide on the job
training. You may have to search a bit, but there are companies out
there that prefer to hire new drivers and train them to drive "their
way." This can be an excellent opportunity for someone with no
Even though it requires some training, driving a buket truck is still a fairly well-compensated career in exchange for a small up-front investment. If you like to drive, but want to be home every night, it could be just the job for you!

I always try to buy American made products to help keep our fellow Americans working and producing superior quality products. This ratchet binder has the feel of a precision made tool when compared foreign made ratchets with sloppy threads.

WASHINGTON - A former top Russian spy who defected to the U.S. after running espionage operations from the United Nations, Sergei Tretyakov, has died in Florida, his wife and a friend said Friday. He was 53.
News of his June 13 death came the same day the United States and Russia completed their largest spy swap since the Cold War.
Tretyakov's defection in 2000 was one of the most prominent cases involving Russia's intelligence agency in the past decade. Tretyakov later said his agents helped the Russian government steal nearly $500 million from the U.N.'s oil-for-food program in Iraq. He was 53 when he died, according to a Social Security death record.
WTOP Radio in Washington first reported his death Friday. His widow, Helen Tretyakov, told the station he died of natural causes. She said she announced his death Friday to prevent Russian intelligence from claiming responsibility or "flattering themselves that they punished Sergei."
Helen Tretyakov said her husband warned U.S. authorities when he defected that Russia was expanding deep-cover operations.
"He was aware that the part of the SVR budget for supporting illegals increased dramatically in the 1990s," she told WTOP. The SVR is the Russian intelligence agency that succeeded the KGB after the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991.
However, she said there was no direct link between his information and the 10 people arrested last month as Russian spies near Boston, New York and Washington.
"It wasn't him who disclosed the names of these people," she said.
"Sergei was called 'the most important spy for the U.S. since the collapse of the Soviet Union' by an FBI official in my book," author Pete Earley, who wrote a 2008 book about Tretyakov, wrote on his blog.

Just by driving in New Jersey, you give implied consent to blood alcohol content (BAC) chemical testing. In other words, the law states that you are obliged to submit to a test of your BAC if requested by a police office on suspicion that you are driving under the influence of alcohol. However, this doesn't mean an office can force you to take the test. Refusing the test simply means that you will be fined and have your driving privileges suspended.
If you're facing DUI charges, contact an experienced DUI attorney in Westwood as soon as possible. A DUI defense attorney can help you fight the charges and secure the best possible outcome in your case. Your defense lawyer might even be able to get your charges dropped entirely.

Tibetan girl alan
"Japanese Star" that Graduated from the PLA
After the Tibetan girl, alan, graduated from the PLA, she carried onto an "Hamasaki Ayumi" dream and went to Japan to start her own stardom journey.
With a complicated feeling, alan went up on stage. The minute the curtains opened, her mind totally went blank.
The venue was packed. The music started. In the darkness, four thousand people all held their breathe because they were waiting for alan's first line.
She stood in the middle of the white curtains. Through the silk screens, she could see a faint wave of light sticks and some people even called out her name.
This is her first concert in her entire lifetime. It was held at Japan Tokyo's Showa Women's University Hitomi Memorial Hall. She rehearsed for a long time and predicted every kind of situations that might happen. But on January 24, 2010, an accident still happened.
"It was like I was covered. I couldn't think of the lyrics. There were so many tangled up thoughts in my mind. "In that kind of a situation, you can't control that kind of atmosphere."
"A Traditional Tibetan"
Three years ago, Alan Dawa Dolma graduated from the People's Liberation Army Art Academy's music department. She went to Tokyo after celebrating her 20th birthday at home with her parents.
This decision wasn't approved in her home.
This is a Kham Tibetan family. After transferring out of the army, alan's father who worked as government worker for the rest of his life also couldn't understand. After graduating from the PLA, why can she find a job where she will be stable for life? As a contract singer and going to Japan--Is that a stable life?
Their family are Tibetans that came from Sichuan Garzê Prefecture Wenchuan County's Beauty Valley. Garzê is known for two specialties: Kangding's men and Wenchuan's beautiful women.
Are you really Tibetan? You don't look like it at all? After growing up, many strangers had complimented on her beauty, so I couldn't resist asking.
She doesn't like this kind of question. I am a pure Tibetan. She wasn't satisfied and pointed to her own face: You look at my eyes, nose, face and you tell me, how do I not look like a Tibetan?
In the quiet Beauty Valley, generations after generations change.
alan stayed in Beauty Valley at her grandmother's house for 4 to 5 years. She misses her childhood in Beauty Valley because that was the best time of her life in her memories. When she had time to slack off, everyone would gather together and play. Tibetans are natural-born singers and drinkers. When they sing refreshing songs, they can produce a bright sound. The little alan would also sing with the adults.
"Tibetan wails are like something in our blood. I never professionally learned it before." She thinks about it a bit and laments "if I stayed in Beauty Valley longer, then maybe my high notes will be even prettier."
When she was six, her father moved her to Kangding County. She is naturally hyperactive, so her father made her learn calligraphy to calm herself down, but she's not interested in it at all. Her Tibetan singer mother released that when she plays the erhu, alan will calm down and just sit there in a trance.
When she was in the 4th grade in elementary school, alan applied for the Sichuan Conservatory of Music. With her beautiful playing with the erhu, she got first place and successfully entered the school and it was paid for by the government. With high school graduation in three months, alan was guaranteed a spot at the Sichuan Conservatory of Music. It might be because of the lack of excitement that this result didn't make her happy at all. Then why don't you and your mom go try out Beijing's schools? alan's father said and it might be easy to major in Mingzhu University of China--alan's father's alta mater.
When she went to Mingzhu, alan accidentally saw a group of handsome guys in army uniforms eating in a restaurant beside Mingzhu. alan said which school are you guys from? The guys pointed across the street at the PLA. She ran over to the PLA to try out and played her erhu. The admissions clerk asked what else can you do? alan's mother said her singing is pretty good! Just let her try! Actually, she has never professionally learned singing, but she just sings along with her mother sometimes.
"Goal is the General Political Department"
"alan is a very playful girl. Her personality is probably not suited for the army career." The singer Li Shuang Jiang was alan's examiner when she tried out.
In the spring of 2003, the PLA won first place in CCTV's Young Singers Contest the previous year. The folk-singing alan made Li Shuang Jiang's eyes sparkle: she is the seedling for the next singing contest.
"She has a lot of talent, so that's why I decided to recruit her." Li Shuang Jiang thinks that alan is very sensitive towards music and that her erhu playing is pretty good too. alan missed the appropriate time for auditions to enter the school, but Li Shuang Jiang especially asked the school to make an exception to accept alan. alan didn't enter the second Young Singers Contest for folk songs and it was after attending the school that alan fell in love with pop music. Li Shuang Jiang's views on alan towards pop music is "she has one kind of thought toward pop music and that there may not be a good way, but it will be felt in people's hearts."
September 2006, alan participated in the 9th Asia New Singer Competition. Li Shuang Jiang was one of the judges. In the last, the gold medal was taken away by a Filipino singer and alan only had a 0.005 difference as runner-up.
About alan's plans after graduation, Li Shuang Jiang expressed understanding. "alan is a student with a bright personality and army school's standards are very strict, but we respect whatever our students' decisions."
After the PLA, alan became a famous person around school very quickly.
In 2006's "Super Girl" contest, Xu Fei deeply remembers alan. She's one grade younger than alan. "I would often see her in school and everyone's uniform looked the same, but alan wore it very fashionably and she would stand out." alan later revealed that her uniform was a bit too big, so she made it smaller to fit to her body.
Xu Fei said that alan's grades were very good. When it was time for the music department's mid terms, "with alan performing, many people from other school would admire her and come over to watch. She was like a little celebrity at that time."
When 2006 came, it was alan's last year at the PLA. Many people were already planning for their future after graduation.
"Everyone has their own expectations towards the future." Xu Fei remembered what students that year wanted to do like to become famous, join the art troupe, or go to a record company.
2006 was the year that "Super Girl" was very popular and Xu Fei went to join and got into the top 6.
Many friends tried to convince alan to join the contest and it was a shortcut to fame. alan thought that she won't be able to become a meaningful artist or a singer if she went to "Super Girl".
"I wanted to become an artist, a singer at time time. alan's goal was politics or art troupes.
When she talks about the 10 years of her professional foundation, she would be full of pride. "We are people that plays around with art", she likes to describe herself like that.
Even now, you can see her carries the atmosphere of someone who graduated from the PLA. Even though she accepted 3 years of professional training at Avex and she once held the #1 spot for single sales, she still naturally says "art comes from life more than life and art is a service to the people".
She has never tried to conceal her eagerness to become famous. "If you're learning this kind of business, then who wouldn't want to become famous? Unless you want to lock yourself up in the piano room and sing, then wouldn't you want to share your voice with everyone else?"
During her school years, alan has appeared for many art troupe performances for the soldiers. For some performances, they requested for her to sing "Tian Lu".
Even her teachers suggested for her to join the art troupes. It wouldn't be a problem if she joined the art troupes because "my father's dream is for me to wear my army outfit and my mother's dream is for me to become a solo performer, so I would complete both of their dreams."
The Other Side of School
In those 5 months, alan learned that the "academic route" really isn't going to easy because of "Tian Lu" that so many people loved.
For the '02 graduation party, the school arranged for alan to sing "Tian Lu" with Han Hong who graduated in '95. May 10th was the recording time and Han Hong came (requesting that she only needs "Tian Lu's" CD). alan hoped to sing one of the chorus till the high parts, but the result was that she only needed to sing the opening lines. The high part and the ending will all be sung by Han Hong.
This "duet" of "Tian Lu" was later shown on CCTV. During the performance, alan kept 2 meters of distance between her and Han Hong and she often looked away quickly. When the music started, Han Hong asked people downstage if it's really ok to let her sing first? For the entire performance, alan kept her 2 meters of distance till the end of the song.
After the recording was done on May 10th, alan wrote a blog post that was later deleted:
When I returned home, I cried because I knew that I was really sad then......To be honest, if this wasn't something arranged by the school, I would have just walked out of there......Why can I only sing the chorus? Why can't I even sing the high parts? Is it just because you're famous and I'm not?
"I'm not that kind of a person to fuss over something." When reminded of her "duet" 4 years ago, alan just shook it off "I felt very honored to have been able to sing with her. There's no need to hold a grievance. This is just reality--You have to become more famous or else no one will let you sing."
In front of teachers, alan always behaved and was often favored. Even so, many people could feel her perseverance. Xu Fei said that she and alan didn't want to be bounded. "Maybe for the army, we're just not suited for it."
If Avex chose you in the summer of 2006, would you sign a contract with them?
Xu Fei said yes.
When Avex chose alan, she wasn't that sure.
In Asia's largest music industry, Avex has created many female artists that are at the top of pop music. The CEO, Max Matsuura, wanted to find a Chinese girl and use their successful experience to create another Asian diva like Hamasaki Ayumi, Amuro Namie, Koda Kumi, and others.
For 3 months, Max Matsuura, didn't like any of the people that came to audition.
It was at the last day for auditions that alan came. She had a ponytail, still wore her army uniform, and didn't even have time to put on makeup. She just came over from school and she used Chinese phonetics to sing 2 Japanese songs and even played a bit of the erhu.
"When she sang, everyone thought she was great." This was what alan's producer, Kazuhito Kikuchi, said afterward. Kazuhito Kikuchi has composed many songs for Hamasaki Ayumi, Tohoshinki, and many other artists.
On the topic of her being chosen, alan said Japanese people might like my appearance and my voice is a bit special. I can also play the erhu and Japanese people likes the erhu too I think.
alan wasn't sure at that time. The competition in Japan is so fierce, so what would happen if I was eliminiated? I wouldn't be able to go to the art troupes and I would have nothing.
Her family objected and her father who was in the army for 24 years also objected. August 2006, alan and her mother accepted Avex's invitation and went to Tokyo to check everything out.
The CEO went with them to the company's annual concert with their most popular artists. "Every concert has about 30,000 to 40,000 people watching Hamasaki Ayumi and Amuro Namie. You would feel very shocked after watching them." One of the staff member accompanying alan told her that this will also be your future.
The company also sent alan and her mother to go to different places to have fun and shop around. alan's mother thought that this was a "rather nice" company and they're very nice to her daughter, so she had an ease of heart. At the same time, Avex told her they will give her living expenses which made alan very happy.
"I just think about the time where I was in the art troupes and I had to perform in many different places for the troops and I had to sit in an entertainer coach. It feels like 2 different worlds with what I see before me." alan finally became Avex's first Chinese artist.
In Japan
In some hotel in Beijing, alan is so small sitting on the couch after 3 years of experience in Japan. Her hair is lightly curled, a faint makeup, and her light princess styled lace dress makes her look like an Asian Barbie. This is the cute girl look often found in Japanese fashion magazines.
When she returned to the Mainland, she's a lot more relaxed. In Japan, she would have to constantly remind herself to be deferential with her legs closed when she's sitting and slightly learning to the left. In Beijing, she can temporarily forgot about this and it's not as rigid.
When she's talking, she often likes to say "yeah" and other pauses like nodding in agreement to the conversation. These are her habits and catchphrases.
About her first concert in Japan, she said it's scary when she thinks about it. Her mind was blank and her consciousness was like rain hitting the curtains. She slowly regained her state of mind at the very last second of the prelude. The melody and lyrics of the song then came out. She was too nervous. For the last concert of the tour, she was a lot more relaxed. She even sat down and like other big artists, she carelessly threw her towel into the crowd.
She carried an "Hamasaki Ayumi" dream and began her journey to stardom. The thing that welcomed her was disappointment. When she opened the door to the apartment that the company provided for her, her dreams stopped. This room only had about 10 square meters. Last year when her mother and she were welcomed by the company, the room they lived in was at least 5 times bigger.
Japanese lessons, dance lessons, music lessons......The hardest were dance lessons. She would practice till she was dizzy and throwing up.
Her first single "Ashita e no Sanka" sold 4,729 copies and the highest ranking was #69. After a few months, her second single only sold 1,000 copies and fell off the charts after #100.
She dreamed that someone was going to kill me and that her singles were stacking up like mountains because no one will buy them...She fearfully asked her boss if sales keep on being like this, will you "send" me back to China? The boss's reply was it's ok for 5 to 6 years, but you have to work hard.
She had to attend many TV variety shows and radio broadcasts. She would sign her CDs for sale. She also become a model for some magazines. In one year, alan had went to 47 prefectures. "You have to go to really small record stores and other places to sing when you release a single, so it feels like you're a street performers."
"You chose to come to the place with the worst competition to become a celebrity in the whole world", alan said, "and there are many newcomers in the company, so you will be buried if you don't try your best."
The turning point happened in 2008. Avex had the right to recommend a singer for the theme song of "RED CLIFF" since they're one of the investors. alan was interested. Both "RED CLIFF" versions were very well received in Japan with the sales as high as 10.55 billion yen. Borrowing the popularity of the movie, alan's theme song for the movie "Kuon no Kawa" was the champion for the daily singles chart. She was 3rd place for Japan's "Oricon" weekly singles chart. The previous record held by a Chinese was at #9 and that record was created by Faye Wong 11 years ago.
For a 23 years old girl, this kind of results is already very impressive. She continued to release albums and singles nonstop. She even had her own solo tour.
For these 3 years, alan has tried ballads, soft rock, new age, folk, electronica, and other genres. Fans discovered that the Tibetan wail was less found in alan's albums. She won't look down on those "easy songs" anymore. "I will sing songs that everyone can sing."
After dinner, Avex didn't give her anymore work. This was one moment of freedom for alan.
That was the time when alan really felt loneliness and she would just drink some wine by herself at times. "I would return home and it would be so quiet everywhere. There wasn't any living things in the rooms, so I thought that the house got so quiet that it's scary." With no friends around her, alan would get on QQ to chat with her family. Her mother would ask how are you? Are you good? She would say really good, really really good.
For the price of fame, what's the thing that you miss the most?
"Freedom. There are some things that I can't do if I want to do them." There are times where she would write out her feelings on her blog, and then she would wake up the next morning to see that her assistant already deleted them. "After becoming a celebrity, you're not only living for yourself." She said, but she doesn't regret it. "One time I went to Dalian to perform and saw some classmates from my school and I thought, God, my life is totally different than from that time."

I wanted to continue discussing my thoughts about critiquing today. Many thanks to those of you that have sent me emails letting me know what you are thinking in this area. It is always good to hear from you. The need to talk about this topic, particularly now, when the world seems to change so quickly and completely in such a small period of time, is more critical than ever if we are to advance this thing that we love. I thank you for the things that you have said that make me think, we all know how hard it can be to get me to do exactly that. I wanted to share some of the thoughts that have sprouted from the fertile soil of your comments.
One of the main reasons Chris, Hugh, and I started this blog was to create a forum where we could share ideas. We wanted to capture the excitement and possibilities of a NITA training program where we were all together teaching each other how to teach. We have had that experience at Stetson in our annual Teaching Advocacy Skills program and the attendees there expressed a desire to be "connected" to other advocacy professors in those in between times. Not being one to ignore something that hits me in the face we began this blog. It is designed to be an open forum where all of us, regardless of the materials that we use or the methods that we employ, will share ideas. Teaching teachers is hard, it is fun, but is also a critical step that we must take to ensure that our craft flourishes.
We are, all of us, constantly learning from each other. Mark Caldwell is one of the absolute best NITA program directors at managing that process, and while I am always learning when I sit in a NITA program, that learning is exponentially increased when Mark runs the program. I must share with you that one of the first things I tell every advocacy teacher who comes to learn from us at Stetson is that they absolutely must experience NITA to become a complete teacher of advocacy.
I think having a law professor or two in a NITA program is a plus because we have the luxury of time that is denied to the practicing attorney. It brings a different perspective to the process and one that is helpful, although over time it does run the risk of becoming stale. I believe the practicing bar and law schools must grow together to create the best structure that allows us to guarantee quality advocacy teaching beginning in law school, through CLE programs and beyond. We must hang together, us skills professors and practicing lawyers, or we will all surely hang separately. For that same reason I always bring practicing lawyers to my Stetson conferences, there input is so valuable to the process and they make for great drinking buddies too.
I would be a much poorer teacher now if I had not been fortunate enough to have been introduced into the world of NITA teaching by Jeanne Jordan, Sandy Brook, Tom Singer, Jim Seckinger, Terry Rushton, and Mark Caldwell. It began with trial team at Notre Dame, and has grown into a calling. I've said thank you in other venues, but let me express it again here publicly. They are a small part of the list of folks that have taught me how to be a better teacher, lawyer and person - but they sit very high on that list. If you are interested in who else might be on it you can read it in the acknowledgments page for the second edition of my trial advocacy book. I put the names of those with whom I have learned there instead of a table of cases - seemed like the right thing to do to me. I also spent a good deal of time thanking NITA and John Baker for his leadership in this field in the preface. If not for NITA I would have never been given the opportunity to learn enough to have this tremendous opportunity and I am forever grateful.
It is that very gratitude that drives me now. I believe that we need to take the time to think critically about what we do and how we do it if we are to keep ourselves relevant for future lawyers. With that in mind let me share an idea about a way of thinking about teaching in a CLE program or an advocacy class. Of course it is built around the RULE OF THREES.
I think the best advocacy teachers break their teaching method down into three general approaches: (1) Drills, (2) Some version of the NITA Method that focuses on an element of a specific performance, and (3) what I think of as the Holy Grail of Advocacy teaching, the transformational critique - AKA "The Tingle." You can imagine these three elements of teaching advocacy using a lot of different metaphors, but for me it is easiest to think of it either as food, art, or sport. Let me explain.
Imagine that you have to prepare a bowl of food for someone to eat. This food needs to be as nourishing as you can make it, as tasty as possible, and pleasing to those who will consume it. You cannot have a bowl of food that consists of only element - it gets boring and leaves the person eating the food wanting more. I don't care how much you like mashed potatoes, by the third day of eating it you want something different - not only do you want something different, you need it, and if you don't get it you let the cook know about it. So what to do?
Our teaching should be more like a hearty bowl of stew, with many different elements that combine to comfort you and give you nourishment. The vegetables in the stew could be considered the drills, a staple so to speak. While they may be bland and boring for the most part, they bind things together with a simple taste that is comforting. We know exactly what we are getting when we bite into them and we feel secure in what we are getting.
The critique method that focuses on an element of the performance is the meat in the stew (apologies to the vegetarians out there, just insert the word tofu instead, although it loses something), we have to have it. We look for it, we chew it thoughtfully and it is the thing we expect to get, and we are very unhappy when we get the last bowl of stew full of vegetables but with no meat.
The stock, the broth, the juice of the teaching experience is the case analysis. It is present everywhere and without it all we have is a bowl of vegetables and some raw meat. The stock is both separate from the vegetables and meat, and yet containing elements of them within itself.
The transformative critique occurs when we dip our spoon into the bowl and get that perfect combination of case analysis, drills and specific performance feedback. It has just a hint of some seasoning that we find hard to recognize, but that makes the taste explode in our mouth. Without the seasonings, without that mix, the stew is bland. It will nourish us, it will comfort us, but it doesn't really fulfill the hunger that we feel. We are left wanting something more.
Now you can ruin a stew very quickly with the wrong seasoning, and too much can make it inedible, while no seasoning just gives you a bowl of meat and vegetables in hot water. Like the seasoning a good stew the tingle is used sparingly, but everyone knows it when they taste it. We need to have the courage to reach for the seasoning when we need to, and we should devote ourselves to becoming sufficiently good cooks in the classroom that we sense when it is time to add a little pepper to the mix!
When most folks sit down to learn to play the guitar they don't just grab it and play. They begin with simples scales and chords, mastering each fundamental before moving on to the next. You take as much time as you need, better to go slow and get it right than to go fast and get it wrong. Our drills are like the rudimentary scales that a music student practices. They lay the bass (base) line for everything to come.
Once we have graduated from scales to simple chords we begin to play music. This first step of performance creates ample opportunities for the music student to learn. They make mistakes, get things wrong, miss notes, the list of specific performance elements to fix can be quite long. This is when we use the NITA method or its equivalent to fix specific problems. It is, in fact, the vast majority of what we do.
Eventually something special happens and an opportunity for individual growth presents itself. It might be about rhythm, playing with expression, interpreting the music, or getting in touch with your inner muse. When those moments happen magic comes out of a wooden box with some silver strings. It doesn't happen all the time, but it never happens if the scales and chord progressions were not learned. The student is transformed into an artist, we transform our students into advocates.
When we first learn to play the sport of football we learn to block and tackle. But it is much more than just that, on the offensive line we break the blocking down, establishing foot placement, arm position, leverage, orientation, a host of minuscule details that must be learned, practiced, and mastered so that we can move on to installing plays in the offense. The same is true of the drills and simple exercises that we have students perform. They law the foundation for all that follows. If the student cannot perform these basic tasks then we cannot install the offense, we can't perform.
After we have mastered the fundamentals of blocking and tackling we begin to learn our location on the field, the other players that we act and react with and to. Now we are beginning to play football, albeit at a very basic level. The coach stops us when we make a mistake and we "run it again," usually until we get it right. He has all day to wait because he knows that we must master each specific element of the performance so that the offense can be installed and magic can enter in. If you we don't master each piece it will never work right. We do the same thing when we are teaching at our best - they can't practice something that is wrong because Murphy's law will ensure that is the only thing they learn.
Next the offense is installed, and we forget our fundamentals, forget how to block because we are worried about being in the right place at the right time. We have all seen this in advocacy programs, move on to something new and it seems as though nothing accumulates. That is really not true, it is just that the stress of installing the new "play" makes them think, and when they think they cannot perform.
We struggle through practice after practice, and then one day it clicks. The coach changes an assignment, we "see" it as a whole and suddenly we score. That changed assignment, option at the line of scrimmage if you will, produces the tingle - Touchdown! It was the coach's job to find that moment and seize it. We see those moments when we teach advocacy programs, we must seize them and make a difference for the students that have come to us for help.
So what am I trying to say with all of this?
We must master, teach and practice the basic fundamentals every time we have an opportunity to do so. We use drills, short performances and simple exercises to make this happen. Once the student knows enough to be able to get past fear to performance we increase the number of performance specific critiques based on a particular assignment that is tailored to the ability we wish to develop. It can be either broad or narrow, depending upon both time and circumstance. Finally, at some point in the process we must go beyond the nuts and bolts of teaching process to transform the students. Next time I'll post some thoughts about the way to do that.
Till then, all the best,
In an adversarial legal system the quality of advocacy directly affects the outcome, and hence justice. This blog is for everyone -however they serve our legal system - who is committed to improving the teaching of advocacy skills and ethics so that parties and the community are well served by persuasive and ethical advocates.
