Road Occupancy Permits
Road Occupancy Permits
Contractors, homeowners and others who are planning any activity (such as, but not limited to construction, landscaping,[etc) that may cause a public road to be blocked in any way, including restricting access, disrupting vehicular/pedestrian traffic flow and/or placing materials of any kind on the roadway must obtain a Road Occupancy Permit before starting any work.
Public Road Allowance
The public road allowance is property that is under the jurisdiction of the City of Markham, including the roadway, boulevard, sidewalk and in most cases a landscaped portion adjacent to each residential/commercial property.
Examples of Activities Requiring a Road Occupancy Permit:
- Placement of a moving container or disposal bin;
- Short duration storage of construction or landscaping materials beyond the limits of private property;
- Crossing the boulevard to gain site access where there is no depressed curb or paved driveway;
- Where the road will be occupied by workers or equipment to support construction or other activities; or
- Where the sidewalk will be obstructed, resulting in a disruption to pedestrian traffic.
Why are permits required?
The public road allowance is shared space which is used to deliver services and allow efficient, unencumbered access to every property by citizens within Markham. Permitting allows the City to:
- confirm the necessity of each disturbance;
- ensure road usage is carried out in a safe manner;
- coordinate activities to reduce public impact; and
- ensure City assets are protected from damages.
Additional Information
A minimum of three (3) days is required to review and issue a permit. Each permit has a minimum fee of $50.

I think for the most part attendees enjoyed the experience of RootsTech.Sessions were full, exhibit hall was full, lots of action all three days. Logistics-wise everything seemed to run smoothly and on time which is very nice. Overall I enjoyed the conference but can't help but being a little disappointed in some areas. Maybe there was too much hype going into the conference? Or maybe I was just on too many cold meds to be in my usual frame of mind that "all" things genealogy are cool! Here is my run down of my overall impressions.
- 4200+ attendees for a genealogy related event...they hit it outta the park!
- Salt Lake City, UT! Such a beautiful, beautiful place. It's a "little" big city.
- Family History Library within walking distance of hotel.
- Geneabloggers! So sorry I didn't see them all! (I think some were plotting world dominance)
- Making new friends...after they asked "what are the beads for?"
- Opportunity to talk one-on-one with experts in their related fields.
- Educational opportunity in sessions as well as out.
- Vendors answering questions and showing new tricks about their product. It doesn't get any better than hands on training.
- New product launches, competition is good for everyone and the energy new products generate is exciting.
- Rooms were crowded...very crowded. (if you want to know which topics will be SRO, ask me because I sure can pick em!)
- Rooms were hot...very hot. (I'm usually the last one complaining about the heat)
- Presentations...many were high level overviews, even when labeled as intermediate. (too much time spent on background and intro before the meat of the presentation)
- Presentations....a void of advanced level sessions, big void.
- Vendor hall...where was all the tech? Where we're the gadgets? I saw software, more software and oh look more software.
In my list of hits, meeting and catching up with the other Geneabloggers was, without a doubt, the highlight of the conference. Some of these people are very busy and have some amazing things going on! I feel inspired, awed and intimidated by them all at the same time!
As far as the misses go the biggest for me was the vendor hall. I know what you are thinking, I'm too close to that because of my job but hear me out this isn't about how they exhibited its about who exhibited or who didn't! This was RootsTECH, so where was the tech in the vendor hall? There was software, subscription database services/online trees and a couple of apps (one very cool app by the way called About One). That hardly covers technology. Call me silly but I fully expected to walk into the exhibit hall and see tablet computers, phones demonstrating genealogy apps, cameras with GPS for photographing at cemeteries, and a bunch of other cool stuff that I've never heard or thought of. I didn't see any of that. Maybe that will catch on in future years?
If you haven't attended RootsTech and you have an opportunity to attend next year I think you should. There is value to be found in most genealogy conferences, some more than others. Also every person that attends has different objectives for being there. What may not be a successful conference for me may be very successful for someone else. Try it and see if it is a hit for you.

"I believe a great foundation has been set," said Bisons head coach Bill Taylor. " Now we need to continue to develop all these young athletes we have, while we work hard to bring in the right recruits in the future. We need to increase our women's roster. We also need to build an elite distance program while we continue to expand our Track & Field program to be well balanced and championship level in every event. It's a tough, yet very fun building process.
"We've come so far in the two short years I've been here. The sky is the limit for us. This is such an incredible school. It is a unique place to grow in every aspect. There aren't many NCAA Division I programs that are as serious about athletics, academics, high character and using this sport to grow in Christ. Word is spreading, excitement is building within and without, and the best is definitely yet to come. We've barely scratched the surface."
The winners as voted by team members and coaches are:
Most Improved Award – Jeff Hoover, a sophomore from Dickson, Tenn., was voted the Most Improved for 2009. Jeff set huge PR's in the 1500m and 3000m this year and improved dramatically throughout the indoor and outdoor season. He showed intense competitive fire in each race.
"Jeff truly earned the most improved award after struggling during the cross country season and dealing with illness during his freshman track season that derailed that whole season," said Taylor.
He finished his great sophomore campaign by scoring in the 1500m at the A-Sun meet.
"Jeff was overwhelmingly voted most improved both by the coaches and his teammates," said Taylor. "He really stepped up this season. He was also a great example to his teammates of what can happen when you get that competitive fire and leave it all out there. Jeff had a terrific season and took himself to a whole new level."
Fightin' Bison Award – Chad Roberts, a senior from Sorrento, Fla., was voted the Fightin' Bison for the person who demonstrates the most guts, mental toughness and physical toughness.
Chad set the tone for the men's 4x400 relay and for the whole men's team. In anchoring the men's 4x400m relay, he always battled to the end for the team. Chad came back for his redshirt season of track because he wanted to get a conference medal. He ended the season with two.
He anchored the men's indoor and outdoor 4x400m relay teams to All Atlantic-Sun Honors and a pair of silver medals. For indoor track it was only the second All Atlantic-Sun Conference performance in Lipscomb University history. It was the first ever outdoor All Atlantic-Sun Conference performance in Lipscomb history (along with Steven Lindsey in the HJ this year).
In the process his indoor team set a new school record and his outdoor team narrowly missed the school record. His outdoor 4x400m relay also qualified for the NCAA I Mideast Regional Championships, the first men in Lipscomb history to qualify (along with Steven Lindsey in the HJ this year).
"I'm so happy that Chad came back and led the 4x400m relay teams to All-Conference honors," said Taylor. " He got his medals and helped five other guys get a medal as well. Chad put his name in our history books this year and he definitely showed what a Fightin' Bison is all about."
For the Team Award – Clint Carter, a senior from Angleton, Texas was voted the "For the Team" award. It is presented to the person who is the best teammate and the person who is most positive, motivating and caring. As a team captain and a natural leader, Clint gave his personal best in every race, stepped up for the 4x400m relay and was a vocal and emotional motivator for the whole men's team.
"Clint is just a great guy and has been a strong vocal leader for this program," said Taylor. "I was so happy to see him earn his conference medal and to get the experience of competing at Regionals in his senior year.
"He has been a person that holds his teammates accountable, which is essential for team success. He has made huge contributions to our rapid increases in success the past two years, and has helped pour the foundation for the huge future success that is coming."
Heart of Gold Award - Ryan Chastain, from Mitchell, Ind., received the "Heart of Gold Award". It is presented to a runner who demonstrates the highest character, who doesn't compromise and who does the right thing even when nobody is looking. Ryan, a team captain and the top distance runner on the track team, was also voted this award last cross country season.
"Everyone knows that Ryan has a huge heart for God, for people and for his teammates," said Taylor. "He is a spiritual leader for the team, and leads with his feet as well by setting the tone in every practice and race. The whole team knows that Ryan's desire is for their success and growth, that he cares deeply for them and that he will do everything in his power to help them succeed in every way."
Total Commitment Award – Chad Martin, a freshman from Coppell, Texas, was overwhelmingly voted the Total Commitment Award which is given to the person "that did it right, did it all and did all the little things".
"Chad was definitely the shining example of Total Commitment," said Taylor. "I heard over and over from his teammates about how Chad did everything he was asked to do. He gave 100 percent effort in workouts, did all the little things he was asked to do, ate right, and took care of business in the classroom as well with a 4.0 GPA in Engineering. It was very tough for Chad at times, especially since he battled some health issues all year that held him back, yet he PR'd big in the 5000m and had an amazing race at Conference, finishing as our top 5k guy there.
"Chad was a shining example to the rest of the team that if you buy in, do it all 100 percent, great things are going to happen for you. I know that Chad is going to reach far higher in this sport over the next three years and he is going to influence the team to do it right."
Freshman of the Year Award – Steven Lindsey from Falkville, Ala., was named "Freshman of the Year". Steven scored at both the indoor and outdoor A-Sun meets in the high jump, earning a program high second place finish at outdoor with an equal jump to first place. He PR'd in the high jump with a 6-7 leap this year and he qualified for the NCAA I Mideast Regional Championships. He was the first individual in Lipscomb A-Sun history to earn All-ASun Individual honors.
"Steven had a bit of a roller coaster year," said Taylor. "He had a terrific indoor season before bruising his heal after going 6-7. After missing some time in recovery, he struggled mid-season, then pulled it all together at the end of the outdoor season to earn All-Conference honors and punch his ticket to Regionals.
"He was the high individual scorer for the team at both the Indoor and Outdoor A-Sun Championships. Steven is the core of what we hope will be a phenomenal future jumps core and he showed that a freshman can come in and immediately make a huge impact."
Athlete of the Year Award – For the men this year, this award will be the "Athlete's" of the year award. Instead of an individual, the men's 4x400m relay teams was voted by the team and coaches as "Athlete of the Year." The Indoor and Outdoor relay teams set the tone for the whole program. They stepped up and competed at their best when their best was needed.
Both teams were the first relay All-A-Sun Conference relays in Lipscomb Track & Field history, and the outdoor team qualified and competed at the NCAA I Mideast Regional Championships. The Indoor 4x400m Relay was: Mike Knox, Dustin Little, Brock Lutes and Chad Roberts. The Outdoor 4x400m Relay was: Mike Knox, Clint Carter, Andrew Jones and Chad Roberts.
"I'm proud of the men's program for voting these relays for this award," said Taylor. "Collegiate Track & Field is often not a team sport. We don't score most meets and chasing marks is often the focus. I love team though and I believe the 4x400m Relay is the heart of a Track & Field team.
" I had a goal from day one of developing this relay and it is terrific how quickly that has happened. All the guys on these relays gave their absolute best for their teammates and ran with great pride. I loved watching these guys fight. They established the tradition of excellence in this event that all future teams will follow and push higher. It was so fun watching them."
Team captains for the year were Ryan Chastain, Clint Carter and Andrew Shankles.
Members of the A-Sun All-Academic Team are Josh Baker, Jared Carlson, Trace Carlson, Cormac Carolan-Tolbert, Ryan Chastain, Burton Elrod, Ben Fennell, Jeff Hoover, Alex Jerkins, Michael Knox, Joey Lever, Chad Martin, Steven Mason, Austin Ray, Benton Reed, Chad Roberts, Andrew Shankles, David Wolfe, and Paul Wright.
Members of the A-Sun All-Conference team are Clint Carter (outdoor 4x4), Andrew Jones (outdoor 4x4), Michael Knox (indoor 4x4, outdoor 4x4), Steven Lindsey (outdoor HJ), Dustin Little (indoor 4x4), Brock Lutes (indoor 4x4) and Chad Roberts (indoor 4x4, outdoor 4x4).
The NCAA I Mideast Regional Championship Qualifiers were Clint Carter (4x4), Andrew Jones (4x4), Michael Knox (4x4), Steven Lindsey (HJ) and Chad Roberts (4x4).
"We really had an amazing season from the first indoor meet in January all the way through the Outdoor Regional Championships," said Taylor. "Both the men and women pushed this program up several levels. Many school records were set, gigantic PR's were crushed nearly every meet. In fact, having one or more athletes drop 15, 20, 30 or more seconds became pretty much the norm. That is the sign of a program on the rise and it means we are all doing the things we need to do.
"The men's and women's teams had the best Atlantic Sun Conference Championships in Lipscomb school history. We had more All Atlantic-Sun award winners than ever before and qualified six to the Regional Championships. "

Farewell Ollie
Jenny Lerew reports that Ollie Johnston has passed away. Rest in peace.
Update: Peter Emslie has written a personal reminiscence of Ollie Johnston and included a great letter from Ollie.

Rest in Peace, Ollie.
The best tribute I can think of is for everyone to watch the "Frank & Ollie" DVD.

Ollie was one of the most underrated of the Old Men. For my money, he and Frank were the best actors in the place.
Their work was never 'showboating', never showy for its own sake, always supported the story--and always seemd to be some of the best damn work in the picture.
Farewell, old friends. Thanks for everything.

Mark, there's an obit online now at the NY Times' website(http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/us/AP-Obit-Johnston.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=ollie+johnston&st=nyt&oref=slogin). Here's the part that gave me pause:
"He was especially proud of his work on ''Bambi'' and its classic scenes, including one depicting the heartbreaking death of Bambi's mother at the hands of a hunter. That scene has brought tears to the eyes of generations of young and old viewers."
"Depicted"? Didn't Bambi's mom die offscreen via sound effect gunfire, during a fast pan with the camera staying completely on Bambi until he makes it to safety? Did Ollie animate Bambi happily looking up saying "we made it, mother!....mother?" etc until he runs up against the Great Stag in a scene that predates by 6 or 7 years David Lean's Pip running into Magwitch in the fog(forgive me but it's been a while and I'm quoting this from memory)?
"The death of Bambi's mother" is always talked about as if she dies like Camille, onscreen. There's great animation start to finish in "Bambi" but the point sometimes is the power of what isn't shown, and that's what I thought was accomplished so well in that case.
But reviewers always seem to remember it differently--or at least, write it up to imply something different. Maybe it's me, though.

New Fueling System Could Present Problems
When the 2011 Sprint Cup Series season opens Feb. 20, it could be that the new racing surface at Daytona International Speedway has less to do with deciding who wins the Daytona 500 than the new fueling systems that will be used in competition by teams for the first time.
So say many of those who will be involved in trying to make certain the cars get enough fuel in them during the race.
"Just wait until somebody loses a race because of that [new system]. It has 30 moving parts," said one team owner who asked not to be named.
Tony Gibson, crew chief for the No. 39 Chevrolet driven by Ryan Newman for Stewart-Haas Racing, spoke freely on the record about the problems currently being encountered by teams as they attempt to become more familiar with the new fueling system. Talking at length about it during a stop on NASCAR Sprint Media Tour, Gibson said it has been exasperating and no doubt will lead to slower pit stops across the board at least at first this season. But he added that he is confident teams eventually will come to grips with the challenges they face.
"It's crazy, man," Gibson said. "We blow it all up now because it's new and it's scary. But it's like anything else: the gas guys will get used to it and we'll figure out a way to make it work, and probably we'll get [the pit-stop times] back to where they were. We'll figure out a way to get it done faster. But right now, you want to be that guy who can figure out this scenario best -- so you can take advantage of it."
The difficulty lies in the new, bulkier configuration of the new gas cans and their longer necks -- plus the fact that NASCAR has eliminated the catch-can man, reducing the number of team members who can go over the wall during a pit stop from seven to six.
"It doesn't just change getting to the wall and getting to the car and back," Gibson said. "Actually getting connected is such a different connecting deal, if you're off just a little bit it slows down the flow of the fuel tremendously."
The connectivity challenge was obvious during recent testing sessions at Daytona, where puddles of spilled fuel dotted garage stalls and pit stalls. Gibson and others admitted they were concerned some fires might erupt as a result.
When they announced the decision to go to the new system, NASCAR vice president of competition Robin Pemberton explained the decision by saying, "We'll run a fueling system that will eliminate the catch-can guy [because] it fuels and vents all in one process. It's what the Truck Series teams have used successfully."
Yet Gibson said the Cup cars are so much different than the Truck Series machines that they've been able to learn next to nothing from observing.
"Their fueling systems are different. Their cans are different, they're nozzles are different," Gibson said. "All that stuff is slower. All that mating stuff is different -- because that's what we were going to do. We were going to go back and look at the Truck Series and look at how they did their pit stops and all that. Well, they're not even the same deal."
Pemberton also admitted that the new fueling system was a byproduct of NASCAR's decision to "go green" and opt to use E-15 ethanol fuel beginning this season.
"It better enables us to keep a control on the open container of fuel -- because with the E-15 you want to make sure you never get any moisture whatsoever into that. And this better helps with that," Pemberton said.
One team executive said during testing that he understands the thought process behind NASCAR green initiative. Then he added, "Going green is fine, but first we have to figure out how to put gas in the cars without spilling it. Look outside every [garage] stall. You'll see a puddle."
And if NASCAR thought eliminating one over-the-wall crewman was going to save teams any money -- that simply has not been the case, according to Gibson and Darian Grubb, who serves as crew chief for Tony Stewart's No. 14 Chevy. Grubb said Stewart-Haas Racing had to fork out $45,000 to purchase all the new equipment related to the new system for its two cars. And Gibson pointed out that while the catch-can man has been eliminated, now there is a need to have a second team member to help with gas cans that will be handed over the wall to the lone fuel man -- leaving the amount of team members employed and traveling each weekend to the track the same.
Not only that, Gibson said, but the second man behind the wall can't be just anyone.
"Now the guy that's your fuel man and the guy who is handing him the can have both got to be tall," Gibson said. "Here is another thing: if he can pivot and save a step going to the car, you can save yourself nearly a second, right? That's why the guy handing in the second can has got to be a pretty big guy, too.
"Our backup truck driver used to be our second-can guy, handing it over the wall, and he's too short now. Shoot, you need to be anywhere from 6-1 to 6-2 to 6-3 -- both if you're the guy handing in the second can and the guy putting the fuel in the car.
Gibson said the Stewart-Haas teams are spending "probably twice as much time on this" as they normally would leading up to Daytona. He added that additional expenses have resulted from engineers trying to figure out the best way to get fuel to flow freely from the can to the car's fuel cell.
"We've had engineers working on it since we first got one of those [new systems]," he said. "The engineers have been back there working for months to see how we can get the fuel to flow faster. ... The systems are all the same, but where you hold it and at which angles can make a big difference in how fast the fuel flows."
Meanwhile, the danger of the fuel man still being connected to the car when the jack goes down and the driver takes off is real -- and Gibson believes that until everyone gets their timing down better, it's going to lead to more of the troublesome fuel spillage. That's going to leave some crew chiefs wondering if they got a full load of fuel in, which could affect whatever in-race strategy they choose to pursue.
"What we've been working on, too, is having the gas man watch the tire changer," Gibson said. "He's watching him the whole time. As he hits his last nut, he's got to be pulling off. If not and that jack drops with that thing connected, you're in trouble. You can't get it off. If the car gets moving and it gets caught, you're screwed. You ain't getting it off there. It's just not going to happen.
"It's new for everybody. All these scenarios, you're going to have to go through experiencing them before you're able to fix them."
A former gas man who played a key role in helping Alan Kulwicki win the 1992 Cup title, Gibson said he even tried his hand at his old job recently. The results were not encouraging.
"And I gassed for 12 years. Hell, I went back there and was doing it just to see how hard it was, to see if maybe I could come up with a scenario [to improve the process]," Gibson said. "Shoot, I got hung up twice the first four times I tried to do it. I was like, 'Gawdang!' The necks and everything are so much longer, and the whole can is so much bigger."
Brian France, chairman and CEO of NASCAR, said he has no doubts that crews will quickly adjust to the new systems.
"It puts us further down the right path to be responsible with the environment," France said of the decision to switch to the new fuel and new fueling system. "Choosing a fuel like ethanol, it's home grown, American-made. That one is just a perfect fit for us. ... We did a lot of testing and we feel like the performance is going to be really good. So we're confident about that."
The question is how long it takes crews to adjust. Asked if making a mistake with the new fueling system during a race could cost someone a championship this season, Gibson did not hesitate with his answer.
"Absolutely," he said.

A few days back I was at the dollar shop near my house and saw this box of Tacos which I had never ever tasted or cooked. I and my son are always fascinated with food that has cheese in it and when I saw the picture and the recipe on the box I knew that I should try this dish out although I would have to make the beans in an Indian style. The ingredients mentioned on the box are not easily available in India so I made the indianized version of the beans, keeping the rest of the ingredients intact. I am glad that I tried this out which came out to be really really YUMLICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!
So after tasting the final product I knew that food and cultures can mix and form an entirely new and delicious cuisine which one can actually enjoy and relish.
So here is my Indian RAJMA TACOS recipe.
250gms Rajma beans soaked overnight
2 medium onions finely chopped
2 tomatoes finely chopped
1 tsp each ginger and garlic paste
1 tsp garam masala powder
1 tsp chilli powder
½ tsp haldi powder
½ tsp sugar
salsa made of chopped tomatoes, onions and coriander.
Salt to taste and coriander to garnish
Cheese for spreading on top.
Take a pressure cooker pan and heat oil
Add the finely chopped onions and stir till they become soft
Add the ginger garlic paste
Add the tomatoes and stir till the tomatoes are cooked and leave oil
Add soaked and washed rajma and all the masala's.
Cook in the pressure cooker for 10 minutes.
Garnish with coriander after adjusting the seasonings.
Let it become a little dry
Take the taco shells and keep in the microwave for 1 minuteArrange the beans a mixture of tomatoes and onionsThen top with cheese.
This is my entry for NUPURS A to Z of indian vegetables

Science Building
The growing capacity of computers to collect and store data has been transforming science, leading to a new era in which scientific databases are primary research tools. The virtualization of these databases gives any person who has a computer and Internet connection the opportunity to perform scientific research. This development, however, has come with a challenge: how do you analyze extremely large scientific databases and turn that data into knowledge and scientific discoveries?
S. George Djorgovski is at the forefront of this new data-intensive and computationally enabled paradigm of science. One of the founders of the Virtual Observatory concept and the emerging field of astroinformatics, he has served as chairman of the U.S. National Virtual Observatory's science definition team. Djorgovski will discuss how big data and data virtualization are revolutionizing science and scholarship in the 21st century.

Ultrafine Grained Materials IX
Presentation Title
Dynamic Behavior and Microstructural Evolution of Nanocrystalline and Ultrafine Grained Cu-Ta Alloys
S Turnage, M. Rajagopalan, K Darling,
On-Site Speaker (Planned)
Abstract Scope
This investigation analyzes the compressive high strain rate (10^3 to 10^4 1/s) mechanical behavior of nanocrystalline and ultrafine grained Cu-Ta alloys processed through ball milling followed by equal channel angular extrusion. High strain rate behavior is measured with a split Hopkinson pressure bar at temperatures ranging from 25 ˚C to 800 ˚C. For comparison, quasistatic tests (10^-3 1/s) are also reported for the same range of temperatures. Advanced characterizations such as aberration corrected transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is performed to analyze the microstructure of the samples before and after testing which reveals that the presence of Ta clusters aid in superior grain stabilization and provide further strengthening. Further, microstructure and mechanical behavior data reveal that twin and grain growth as a result of increased temperature cause phonon drag to play a more significant role at lower strain rates.

Final farewell for slain Dutch linesman
Dutch football linesman Richard Nieuwenhuizen who died a week ago after he was assaulted at the end of a youth game was cremated on Monday, Dutch media reported.
A hearse carrying Nieuwenhuizen's body arrived at a crematorium in Almere, just west of Amsterdam around 3:00 pm (1400 GMT) where it drove through a guard of honour of some 400 youth players of Nieuwenhuizen's Buitenboys Club, the NOS public broadcaster said.
It showed images of young players dressed in the club's official blue and white colours, throwing red roses and applauding as the hearse with Nieuwenhuizen's body drove past.
The final farewell to Nieuwenhuizen, 41, who died after the December 2 beating, was closed to the general public and media.
Nieuwenhuizen, an amateur linesman, died in hospital of his injuries a day after the attack by youths belonging to Amsterdam's Nieuw Sloten club on December 2.
Police have arrested four youth players so far in connection with the assault that's shocked football-mad Netherlands where some 1.2 million people out of a population of 16.5 million are members of national football federation KNVB.
On Sunday, thousands of people turned out for a silent march in Almere to pay their final tributes to Nieuwenhuizen, whose son played in the match and who witnessed the attack.
The teens, who are being held at an undisclosed youth detention centre face manslaughter, assault and public violence charges.
If convicted, two 15-year-olds would serve a maximum sentence of one year in a youth prison.
The two 16-year-olds could be jailed for a maximum of two years, unless judges rule that they should be tried as adults and face a stiffer penalty.
Last week the KNVB announced that all 33,000 amateur games scheduled over the weekend had been called off.

Please select your meditation time
Start Meditating
Conclude Meditation
John Main OSB, "Second Conference," THE GETHSEMANI TALKS (Tucson, AZ: Medio Media, 1999), pp. 35-37.
We must take extreme care about using terms like "self-renunciation." In prayer we do truly seek to turn our whole being to a contemplation of God's goodness, of his infinite love. But we can only do this with any degree of effectiveness when we have first truly come close to ourselves. Prayer itself is the way to experience the truth of the words of Jesus: "The man who would find his life, must first lose it." But we have to take a preliminary step. And this first step is to gain the necessary confidence to lay down our life in the poverty of the single verse in meditation. This is the tremendous importance of Christian community---when we live with [others] and experience ourselves as revered and loved we build up the confidence that is necessary to enter into prayer where we practice this total poverty, this total renunciation. And Christian self-renunciation is always self-affirmation in Christ.
John Main OSB, "The Oceans of God" (December 1982), THE PRESENT CHRIST(New York: Crossroad, 1991), pp. 111-112, 116-117.
Our life is a unity because it is centered in the mystery of God. But to know that unity we have to see beyond ourselves and with a perspective greater than we generally see with, when self-interest is our dominant concern. Only when we have begun to turn from self-interest and self-consciousness does this larger perspective begin to open. Another way of saying that our vision expands is to say that we come to see beyond mere appearances, into the depth and significance of things. . ..not just . . .in relation to ourselves but . . .to the whole of which we are part. This is the way of true self-knowledge and it is why true self knowledge is identical with true humility. Meditation opens up for us this precious form of knowledge, [and] this knowledge becomes wisdom . . when we know no longer by analysis and definition but by participation in the life and spirit of Christ. [. . .]
Mother and Child, Ladakh India December 24th 2010
Dearest Friends,
This year as always, the timeless Christmas story speaks to us and enlightens the listening heart at many levels. There is the simplicity of the story and the unfathomable mystery of what it is saying. So, too, the story of our own lives, as we have lived them to this point, can be told in a few words; but no words can express their meaning and the wonder of our joys and sufferings, failures and discoveries.
There is the human fragility and marginality of the characters, Mary, Joseph, Jesus, the Shepherds – none of them among the powerful ones of the world. And yet through and around them is the presence of God speaking His Word in a silence that brings down the mighty from their thrones and humbles our own chattering egos.
In the story there is both a tenderness and a mighty, toughness and resilience. We feel deep emotion and yet contemplate a reality that takes us beyond sentiment and emotion, to a place of truth and love in which all desire is fulfilled and all that is incomplete is led to completion.
From John Main OSB, "Letter Ten: December 18, 1979," LETTERS FROM THE HEART(New York: Crossroad, 1988), pp. 119-120.
Christmas is a feast that can open the hearts of us all to the presence of Christ. It puts before us the great qualities of innocence and hope that we need if we are to awaken to his light, and it fills us with confidence because it tells us that the old age has ended. The new age, indeed the new creation, has begun and our point of departure for finding it everywhere is finding it a reality in our heart.
Our journey is, then, one to our own hearts. Because all of us are invited to enter this temple and receive this newness of life, we have to recognize this time as a moment to put off everything in us that is dead, everything that prevents us from embracing the mystery of our own creation and entering into the fullness of life we receive as pure gift in God's eternal act of creation.

An excerpt from Laurence Freeman OSB, "Reverence," LIGHT WITHIN (New York: Crossroad, 1989), pp. 92, 94-95.
Religious people tend to be more self-consciousness than others. And if we are honest about our self-consciousness we should see its connection with a certain lack of reverence in our religious life. We may indeed be surprised that at the most sacred moments in our religious life our spirit of reverence is shamefully hollow. A busy, noisy irreverence in our churches is certainly something that non-Christians often remark upon. They remark for example on the lack of silence or of physical stillness. They often remark too about the amount of time spent in asking God for things we want.
From Laurence Freeman OSB, " Letter Four" THE WEB OF SILENCE (London: Dartman, Longman & Todd, 1996).
If we can understand how silent nature is, we can learn the redemptive purifying power of silence. Whatever is simply itself is silent. It does not matter whether it is talking or quacking or blowing in the wind. Silence is not influenced by noise if the noise does not pretend anything or try to take over anything else's identify or right to be. . . .Silence purifies. It restores us to our true nature and reverses the counter-currents of the unnatural.
Laurence Freeman OSB, CHRISTIAN MEDITATION NEWSLETTER, Vol. 34, No. 3, October 2010, pp. 4-5.
The truly other is essential to the mystical and loving mind. Otherness stimulates the mind to let go of its fixed points and expand beyond itself, enlarging the view we have of the world and of ourselves within it. In the face of the other we have to give up the fame of dramatizing them. This is a little of what I understand by the term "a catholic mind" because it has faced the other that we cannot describe or control. The catholic mind intuitively seeks to include rather than reject, even when it meets an abyss of difference in the other that it recoils from and finds wrong and threatening. [. . . .]
"Dearest Friends,"
Laurence Freeman OSB in the Newsletter of the World Community for Christian Meditation, Vol 32, No. 3, September 2008, p. 4.
Fr Laurence Freeman OSB, LIGHT WITHIN (New York: Crossroad, 1989), pp. 69-71.
[Meditation] isn't a call to follow a way of saintly perfection. It isn't a call to be a hero or a genius, nor even a call to be extraordinary in any way. It is a call to be the person you are and to take the time it takes to be who you are (whether it is five years or fifty years), the person Jesus has loved by laying down his life. . .
So Fr John would point to the Gospel and would say that the teaching of meditation is the teaching of the Gospel. He says in WORD INTO SILENCE, "the whole of the teaching of Cassian on prayer is based on the Gospel." And he quotes Jesus' words: "In your prayers do not go babbling on like the heathen who imagine that the more they say, the more likely they are to be heard. Do not imitate them. Your Father knows what your needs are before you ask him." [. . . ]

When it comes to photography, there are plenty of types of programs that can be used in order to remove the errors or in order to improve the photo shot. Professional photographers are well aware of this, while the amateur photographers use the photo effects in order to experiment and in order to understand how they actually work.
There are so many types of cool photo effects that stand at the disposal of amateur and professional photographers that it takes time to learn them all and to also be able to wisely use them. Unfortunately, the photography effects have a disadvantage: when you don't know much about them and you are not able to combine them in a wise manner, they can ruin the photo. It would be a pity to ruin a good photo shot just because the photo effects used were not inspired.
This is the reason why those who feel that they don't know enough about photography effects should join specialized courses and workshops. By doing this, they get the chance to understand how the fun photo effects can be combined and how the cool ones can make the difference between a good photo shot and a perfect one. Of course, the imagination and the talent have a strong word to say, but it also is about work and training, as well as about trying combinations over and over again.
The role of photo effects is either to improve a photo shot or to transform it into a work of art. How is it possible for some photo effects to have the power to create a work of art? Well, it all stands in the personal touch of the photographer. If the photographer has a nice idea and puts it into practice with the help of photo effects, the adding or the removing certain elements will easily transform into a process that creates the work of art. The cool photography effects are there for a reason, but when you don't know how to use them in order to help you transmit a message and in order to help you put that personal, unique and original touch on the photo shot, then you don't have too many chances of success.
This is what specialists are for. Their work is to show you what the photography effects can do. If you manage to understand their message and if you have the talent and the creativity necessary for unique combinations of photo effects, then you will surely transform into a photographic artists. Those who have photo exhibits at important photographic galas can call themselves artists. Their work is interesting enough and big enough to form collections that need to be shared with people who work in other fields but who feel attracted by the photographic art. This is what being a photographic artist means and what the role of the photo effects is: to improve a photo shot to such levels that it can be transformed into a work of art.

Observations on Public Policy: The Case of Homelessness
Guest Editorial: Minneapolis Fed Vice President and Advisor Preston Miller reflects on homelessness and offers some important considerations and relevant facts about this significant issue.
Published September 1, 2001 | September 2001 issue
Editor's note: As readers of The Region know, the Minneapolis Fed places a premium on economic literacy, the benefits of which include a better understanding of policy issues and the choices that societies must make. This guest editorial presents questions relating to homelessness, and while the Minneapolis Fed has no particular stake in this issue, we believe this discussion presents a useful framework for thinking about this problem and, by extension, about other policy issues that are informed by economic reasoning.
It has always seemed unconscionable to me that in a society as prosperous as ours, people should go homeless. My impression from stories in the media was that there are hordes of people in the United States wandering in the bitter elements, the picture we see so often in Third World countries. That such a serious problem could persist on such a grand scale not only offended my personal sensibilities, but also seemed to constitute a major failing of our free-market economic system.
However, before proposing remedies for any problem, I have learned one must first understand its dimensions and the nature of the policy issues involved. It turns out that my initial impression about homelessness is wrong. Upon some reading and investigation, I find that being homeless in the United States does not mean being without shelter, that a relatively modest number of people are homeless at any point in time and, that while many of the homeless are in serious need of help, homelessness is not their root problem. My purpose here is neither to make light of the problem nor to argue that we can do a better job of addressing it; my purpose is merely to inform, so that others can make better decisions about the issue.
Doubts about my understanding of the homelessness problem arose during the winter of 1999-2000. I was living at that time in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. By some accounts, the district experiences the highest rate of homelessness in the United States. There were some very cold days that winter; yet, no one was dying from the elements. One day the newspapers did report that a man had died by freezing, and they assumed that the man was homeless. It would have been the first time since 1996 that a homeless person had died in the district from freezing. However, the police discovered that the man lived in a house within a few blocks of where he was found. Simple logic suggested that if it was possible to die from freezing, but the homeless were not dying in that way, then the homeless must have shelter.
That conclusion was reinforced by other observations. As my wife and I walked our dog along back streets into Old Town Alexandria, Va., we would pass a nice, fairly new public building that was in part a shelter. I later learned that people who stayed in such shelters, public or private, are counted officially as "homeless." According to informed estimates, a majority of the homeless live in such shelters. In Washington, D.C., it is estimated that less than 10 percent of the homeless are out on the streets. So, although society has addressed the problem of homelessness in part by provision of public and charity-financed shelters, the recipients of the assistance are still termed "homeless."
However, another observation suggests that many of the homeless do not wish to stay at shelters. It is commonly reported that the shelters become very crowded in extremely cold weather. One explanation for this observation is that a significant number of homeless would rather sleep in boxcars, abandoned buildings or other unheated places than in shelters. Then, when it gets very cold, they are forced to go to them for the heat.
To me, these conclusions, taken together, change the nature of one homelessness policy issue: It is no longer whether we need to make more shelter available; it is whether we need to improve the quality of the shelter that we are providing.
In addition to thinking about the nature of homelessness, I wondered about its extent. According to the 1990 census, there were well under 300,000 homeless on any given night. However, critics claimed the number was closer to 600,000. Based on an Urban Institute study, experts in the 1990s were taking the number of homeless on any given night to be in the range of 500,000 to 600,000. Prodded by criticism of the 1990 census survey methods, the Census Bureau made a concerted effort in 2000 to count as many of the homeless as it practically could. Nevertheless, the survey again tallied under 300,000 who could be considered homeless. So, if we take 300,000 to 600,000 as the likely range of homeless people on any given night, that is just 0.1 percent to 0. 2 percent of the civilian population. To put the number of homeless into perspective, in May 2001, a month with a historically low unemployment rate, there still were 10 to 20 times more people unemployed than homeless.
Even these relatively modest numbers overstate the homelessness problem for at least two reasons. One reason is that these numbers refer to individualsnot families. For example, a family of four could be housed in a single unit, yet the family would count as four homeless persons. Surely, since the homeless include children, there are fewer homeless families than homeless people. Thus, if society chose to house the homeless, it would not be necessary to provide as many homes as the number of homeless.
Another reason why the homelessness figures overstate the problem is that they do not distinguish between those who have short spells of homelessness from those who experience long spells, and it seems like the major social concern is with the latter group. An analogy with unemployment may be helpful. The unemployment rate is a snapshot of a constantly changing labor market. At any point in time, some individuals leave jobs and others take jobs. Unemployment in any month includes some people in transition from one job to the next. The main concern of society is with the people who have been without jobs for long spells. In May 2001, only 10 percent of the unemployed were without jobs for over half a year, which means the long-term unemployed were just 0.5 percent of the civilian labor force. Similarly, there is good reason to believe that many counted as homeless are without homes for short spells. They could be between jobs, placed in a shelter until authorities find them more permanent residence or out of a home due to some other temporary reason. For the temporary homeless, shelters may be an adequate form of assistance. For the longer-term homeless, more permanent shelter may be appropriate.
Of course, one can argue that one homeless person is one too many. So, a policy issue for local authorities is whether there are actions they could take to improve the functioning of housing markets that would make more low-cost housing available. Studies suggest that by reducing the cost of housing at the lower end, the number of homeless can also be reduced to some degree.
Although for the most part shelters are available for the homeless and relatively modest numbers are involved, the problem for a significant share of the long-term homeless is serious and difficult. But calling the problem "homelessness" is something of a misnomer. These new perspectives were driven home by the events in the winter of 2000-2001 in Washington, D.C. In that one winter five homeless people froze to death. All of the deceased shared some traits: They were all alcoholics, all had mental problems, all had been coaxed to get shelter and, although shelter was available, they chose not to take advantage of it. Two were Central American immigrants who were traumatized by war and were fearful of institutions. They both died within two to three blocks of a shelter that targeted homeless Latinos and had about 30 vacancies at the time. Two others had physical disabilities and were too embarrassed to enter a group facility. The fifth died in an unheated garage in one of the wealthiest sections of DC
These tragic cases illustrate how difficult the problem of homelessness is to remedy for some of the long-term homeless. The fifth case makes clear that the simple solution of more money is not adequate. The fifth of the deceased received $5,000 to $10,000 when his guardian died. He used the money to buy more liquor, and that led to his rapid decline. But if money is not the solution, what is? How do we treat, assist and shelter people who resist or refuse aid? When should the freedom of individuals to choose their style of life be abrogated and replaced with forced commitment in order to save their lives? These are tough issues.
The homelessness problems I identify are significant. Nevertheless, they should not be considered evidence of failure of our free-market system. They also are problems faced in every society, no matter what their economic systems.

Small & Awesome Attic Spaces
When I was younger, the attic was reserved for storing Christmas presents, Halloween costumes and pink fiberglass. But these days attic apartments seem like the coolest thing on the block. Small, cozy and manageable, it's the poor man's penthouse.
Some homes covert their attics into the perfect guest bedroom getaway. Others save the space for the master suite. Basement rec rooms are being replaced by the upstairs crash pad. And why not a home office in the treetops?
Here's an inspiration board of people who have made great use of the top floor.

I will mostly be eating my bentos at college where I won't have access to a microwave. I'm not really familiar with bento recipes yet and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for rice recipes that can be eaten cold or room temperature? Also if you have any good links for recipes I could look at that would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Hi trek29! Bentos are basically meant to be eaten cold or at room temperature, so just about any bento recipe is going fit that criteria unless it specifically says otherwise, i.e. are meant to be carried in thermal lunch containers. You can start with the recipes index right here, or look at the complete bentos too. (Not all the recipes are Japanese or rice-based either!)
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
Thanks Maki, I didn't realize they were meant to be eaten cold. From looking at pictures of what people had made it looked like things that would need to be reheated, but that is even better if they can be eaten cold. I will check out those links!
I have no way of heating up my lunches at work/school either. Some things that I think work well for me are:
-Hummus with carrots, crackers, and dolmas (stuffed grape leaves)
-mini somosas,i buy the frozen ones at the indian grocery store and they are good room temp.
-From trader joes freezer section they have mandarian orange chicken and a bbq teriyaki chicken that i frequently make for dinner. the leftovers are yummy with tamaki gold white rice at room temp too.
-Rice salad, im posting the recipe in the bento idea recipe section next.
anything on this site works tooo.
I second Lauri Loves You's recommendation on Trader Joe's Mandarin Orange Chicken. I always keep a bag of it in my freezer. When I prepare my bento, I'll heat up 5-6 bite size chicken pieces on a cookie sheet for 18-20 minutes in an oven. I'll then microwave 3-5 tablespoons of the mandarin orange ginger sauce that comes with the chicken. After the chicken is heated, I'll toss it with the mandarin orange ginger sauce to lightly coat it. I'll then put the chicken on top of brown rice in my Thermos Nissan Lunch Tote to eat for lunch. This is delicious, cheap, and easy to make if you know how to use an oven. It also has a long storage life since it's frozen so there's no need to worry about spoilage.
Wow, I'll have to check them out!
I wait day by day for my Death and when He arrives I will welcome Him with open arms. [IN NOMINE DEI NOSTRE SATANAS EXCELSI! ]

Skin Care Specialists, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook, January 8, 2014, http://www.bls.gov/ooh/personal-care-and-service/skincare-specialists.htm
Hairdressers, stylists and barbers play an important role in keeping people looking their best. Students who complete training programs at cosmetology schools or vocational schools for cosmetology often go to work in salons, where they rent stall space and more or less work as self-employed contractors doing haircuts, manicures, pedicures and skin treatments. Others find their niche working as professional stylists in luxury resorts, hotels and spas. A lucky few crack the ranks of the entertainment industry to command some of the highest salaries in the industry.
Specialty careers in the field of cosmetology
Working as hair cutters or barbers is a common career path for students who enroll in vocational schools for cosmetology, but there are several specialties in the field that students can pursue, including:
- Manicuring/pedicuring
- Hair and makeup styling
- Esthiology, or skin care
- Electrology, or hair removal
The most common educational path for students in each of these fields is to complete non-degree certificate or diploma programs at cosmetology schools and earn state licensure or certification, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (bls.gov) reports.
Cosmetology and hair cutting certifications and degrees
According to the BLS, every state requires cosmetologists to complete a state-approved education program and pass a licensing examination. The same was true as of 2014 for skin care specialists in all states except Connecticut, the BLS says. Students of cosmetology schools often gain valuable work and customer-service experience from school clients who enjoy the tradeoff of receiving beauty treatments and haircuts from students at rates much lower than upscale salons or hair-cutting retail chains.
Information for each state's licensing requirements can be found through the National-Interstate Council of State Boards of Cosmetology, the Professional Beauty Association and the American Association of Cosmetology Schools, the BLS reports.
Curriculum at cosmetology schools typically focuses on proper ways to perform client services, such as hair cutting, shampooing and coloring techniques, among others. Coursework usually is a mix of classroom study and hands-on lab work. Students also should expect to learn about the physiological properties of the hair and scalp, as well as product and chemical knowledge. Curriculum for estheticians and other specialty fields is more specific to working in nail or skin care and the products used in those fields.
Cosmetology salaries and career outlook
Hairdressers and stylists earned national median hourly wages of $11.12 in May of 2013, the BLS reports. National average hourly wages were highest in the greater San Francisco Bay Area ($18.86) and the Greater Seattle area ($18.84). Areas and states with the highest average wages were:
- Washington, D.C., $21.07
- Hawaii, $17.35
- Delaware, $17.16
Barbers earned national median hourly wages of $12.03 in May 2013. Employment is highest in the country's most populous states, such as New York, Texas and California, the BLS reports. Illinois, Minnesota and Colorado were the top-paying states for barbers.

|Projected Number of New Jobs
|Projected Job Growth Rate
|Hairdressers, Hairstylists, and Cosmetologists
Estheticians enjoyed national median hourly wages of $13.92 in May 2013, as reported by the BLS. Wages were highest in the following states during that time:
- New Hampshire, $20.34
- Washington, D.C., $19.14
- Arkansas, $18.87
Students who enroll in vocational schools for cosmetology should enjoy helping people look their best. The job also requires knowledge of standard business management practices, such as scheduling, record keeping, inventory control and advertising.

Pickerel Lake Sanitary District receives EPA award for upgrade to wastewater treatment process
Release Date: 09/14/2007
Contact Information: Ronald Hill, 303-312-6265, firstname.lastname@example.com Diane Sanelli, 303-312-7822, firstname.lastname@example.com
(Denver, Colo. -- Sept. 14, 2007) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will present today a Performance and Innovation in the State Revolving Fund Creating Environmental Success (PISCES) Award to the Pickerel Lake Sanitary District, Grenville, S.D. for constructing a new wastewater collection and treatment system.
"This EPA award recognizes the innovative use of South Dakota's Clean Water State Revolving Fund program funds to improve water quality for the 950 permanent and seasonal residents of the Pickerel Lake area," said EPA Region 8 Administrator Robert E. Roberts.
The Pickerel Lake Sanitary District constructed a small collection system and an artificial wetland treatment system when it was determined that the residents' on-site, individual septic systems around the lake were failing. The South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources concluded that the on-site systems were likely contributors to the presence of fecal bacteria levels in the lake.
The district was awarded two Clean Water State Revolving Fund low interest loans totaling more than $1.5 million and two state grants totalling $600,000 to help finance the project that replaced the individual septic tanks with the new water treatment system.
The State Revolving Fund programs, authorized and funded by the Clean Water Act, allow states to provide low interest loans to wastewater systems to assist them in meeting wastewater infrastructure needs. The states then use these monies to select projects for funding.

Homes with style
The home on the left in this photo is a bungalow. Sometimes its architecture is also called "Craftsman". I know that because James Coursey, a local architect with an interest in Hopkinsville's architectural heritage, wrote an article about bungalow houses in Hopkinsville a few years ago ("Local homes epitomize bungalow style of architecture", in the Kentucky New Era, April 14, 2007.) This home is one of several Hopkinsville bungalows that he cited.
According to Coursey, bungalows originated in California and were popular from about 1905-1925. The style was a reaction to the excesses of the Victorian period. For example, in a bungalow, the front entrance hall of Victorian architecture was eliminated. The front door opened into the living room. Also, stairs were no longer an architectural element. They were hidden away, often in the back of the house.
I don't know the proper term for the architecture of the house on the right, but I like it because it reminds me of Germany. A big, square, stucco home like this would fit right into many German towns, especially if it had one more story and lace curtains at every window.
These two houses are part of Hopper Court, a neighborhood in Hopkinsville that was developed around 1910. If you look closely at the photo, you'll see that the street has a strip of green down the center of it, where some small trees are planted. This mini-boulevard was once the private driveway of a large, red-brick house that still sits at the far end of Hopper Court. Waymarking.com has several photos of Hopper Court, then and now.
Hopper Court is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The book, Hopkinsville & Christian County Historic Sites by Gibbs & Torma for the Kentucky Heritage Commission (Copyright 1982 by Gateway Trust) says the following about this site:
The E. H. Hopper house was built about 1885 in a mansard or Second Empire style. About 1907, the land leading to the house was developed as an ideal suburban street, complete with tree-planted median, sidewalks, and stone obelisks marking the entrance. The houses built along the street are mostly frame bungalows. Hopper was a stationer, bookseller, and major property owner in Hopkinsville in the late 19th century.

no drums
songs adhering to some kind of convential 'pop' structure that would normally have drums that, uh, don't have drums.
like these
Andrew Cedermark - Untruth
The Replacements - Answering Machine
Iggy Pop : Wanna be your dog
Billy Bragg: New England
That sort of thing?
I don't remember there being drums in Coldplay's 'Don't Panic', but that might not be due to anything other than faulty memory.
I love playing 'New England' on my geetar. can't quite pull of the requisite cockney accent, so it doesn't sound right when I sing it. ace song, though.
- p_a_u_l, dis-charge, japes, and heartworms this'd this
I was gonna say
rock action is sure nuff there
- japes this'd this
yep you're both right.
there was a version i saw on tv (bbc2 music program probably some time in the late 90's, can't remember which one) which was just iggy playing guitar and that's the version i always associate with the song.
Quite like a bit of no drums where there should be drums every so often!
I really like the Ramleh album 'Grudge For Life' that is a pretty normal noise rock album with good riffs but no drums. And the new Howling Hex album has no drums. Only heard one song but I quite like it
Neil Michael Hagerty is GOOD
I believe there's another Howling Hex album with no drums too that someone mentioned a while back.
I like that Howling Hex song
never bothered to check them out before. love Royal Trux and Pussy Galore; I guess I ignored HH because Pitchfork always gives them mediocre 6.something scores. damn you, Pitchfork|!
I really like the HH/NMH stuff I have. He has his own weird style that required a bit of listening to make sense for me but now that it does he seems pretty singular and unique to me! Would definitely recommend 'Neil Michael Hagerty Plays That Good Old Rock & Roll' as a nice starting point. It does have drums though that one.
Have you listened to the new Jennifer Herrema stuff as Black Bananas? I don't think I like it very much :(
Hey, I was gonna say that Ramleh album!
It's good, huh?
It is! Hello only other person I know who has heard it!
The bassist from Melvins/Cows has a new band that was almost like a tribute to it Sunn -> Earth style. Before he got drums. They're called Hepa/Titus. Dunno about the name mind.
I dunno, it could be worse.
It's not like the name could be misconstrued into being a negative reference to people with Down 's syndrome.
I wonder how much that Sunn O))) riff changes simply with the addition of drums.
I dunno where you'd put the drums in the mix for Sunn
it would probably just sound like those mega slow Burning Witch ones like Sea Hag!
Maybe you could change the s on the end to a z. That might distract people from the syndrome thing. Yes, definitely do that.
I've never really got into it
But there are some great moments. Kinda wish they'd stuck with that as opposed to getting a drummer in for the later noise rock stuff. Tbh it'll always be power electronics Ramleh > noise rock Ramleh for me though.
the other Howling Hex album is Earth/Junk
I think it's really greatmug_mug_mug this'd this
Lana Del Ray - Videogames
Ooh, I like these songs!
Makes them feel more intimate. A couple that spring to mind:
The White Stripes - In The Cold, Cold Night
The White Stripes (again) - We're Going To Be Friends
Scott Walker - Boy Child
boy child is a good shout!
i think a few of his songs don't have drums. does the opener have any? maybe maracas. also tracks like Clara i guess.
Aw man
I came here to mention In The Cold, Cold Night! Good show.
Jar of Cardinals and A Good Flying Bird by Guided By Voices
I always expect HUGE drums to suddenly EXPLODE out of those songs in the last few seconds, but they never do. They never do.JaguarPirate this'd this
Oh yeah, The King & Caroline too.
Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel
There's probably a bit of percussion in there but I don't really remember any drums...
that and the I Wanna Be Your Dog suggestion
good work.JaguarPirate, Royter-Hatfood, and fuck_this_band this'd this
there was an 'electro' rework of wanna be your dog
a couple of years back by ascii disko, which had big beefy fuck off drums in it.
i'm sure i heard that (or a knock off, dance music's funny like that) on telly.
Yeah, but that's a piano I think.
My internal playback features drums though.
I'm so confused.
Are you all trolling or something
the song has drums in it
are you thinking of We Will Fall?

I think you'll find you're mistakenJordan_229_2, gonad, and ma0sm this'd this
Na it has drums in it
You're wrong.
Pretty sure I'm right
The bits that sound like drums is just Jonny doing 'clever stuff' on his guitarma0sm this'd this
i'm confused as to why you even think this
i can't find anything about it online (and given the level of deconstruction given to radiohead songs, you'd think it'd be there)
there's also the fact that it really obviously sounds like drums, and phil is credited as percussion on the song credits.
okay i got that now

Not quite no drums, but they only kick in right at the end of the song, releasing the tension that's been building to that point.

everyone was right, as you were.

Velvet Underground
Their first record doesn't (really) have drums does it?
It does
Not as much as a lot of other records, and it does have stretches with more tambourine etc than drums, but they're there. Waiting For The Man and All Tomorrow's Parties both have very prominent drums, for instance.

I love the way they not only make their guitars sound like drums
they make them look like drums as well. But that's the genius of the boredoms. Definitely my favourite band who don't have a drummer.
Favourite solo artist without a drummer?
Scout Niblett
That's a good song.
Although - and I don't want to sound pretentious here - the rhythm guitar was making up for the lack of bass/drums, though.
The rhythm guitar basically was the drums and bass.
I just find it interesting when bands go out of their way to prove that key requirements are not needed, but in doing so, prove that they are needed..

must have listened to this dozens of times before realising there are no drums. there's hand percussion, but the main drive is from the piano. so good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-3djUYgebU
it's about songs that might normally have drums
but in some cases don't.
it was a good idea that slowly descended into farce, with people actually suggesting 'Creep' had drums in it (when it clearly doesn't).
Slowly descended into farce?
