More Cancelled American Flights
Hundreds of American Airlines flights were canceled this week and hundreds have been delayed after an increase in maintenance write-ups, the airline and pilots union say.
Rumors circulated this week that a higher than average number of pilots were calling in sick, causing the delays and cancellations.
While the airline and pilots disagree over an increase in sick calls, both groups now agree that maintenance write-ups are the cause of cancellations.
They are also both pointing the finger at each other as to why there is a sudden increase in maintenance issues.
"You've got a lot of sick airplanes, not sick pilots right now," said Tom Hoban from the Allied Pilots Association. "There's a bit of a perfect storm right now as far as maintenance."
American said its shifting more mechanics into position to deal with all of the extra maintenance reports they're getting from pilots.
The company is also canceling flights ahead of time to minimize the inconvenience for passengers.
"We've been running a good airline through this year, until this time," said American Airlines spokesman Bruce Hicks. "So, what's changed? Nothing. Our fleet's the same, maintenance, everything's the same, except for these write-ups."
In the past, pilots have talked about plans to disrupt American's schedule.
Three years ago, a previous pilot's union president said that the union was actually conducting drills to systematically cause problems with flights, if contract talks broke down.
Right now, pilots are working without a contract.
Hoban admits that pilots are writing up any and all management issues to cover all of their bases.
The union believes any sort of effort to cancel or delay flights is the action of individual pilots angry with management.

text: Fried food is better with Cajun Injector Cottonseed Oil. Turkey frying with cottonseed oil brings out the flavor. Cottonseed Oil is high in anti-oxidants and cholesterol free. Frying your turkey gives the meat a special taste, and makes it moister than most recipes. When frying foods, be sure to use Cajun Injector cottonseed oil in your fryer. Cottonseed oil brings out the flavor and is ideal for dressings, marinades and enhancing vegetable and meat flavors. American farmers make Cajun Injector cottonseed oil in the U.S.A. That helps keep U.S. farms strong, and supports our own agricultural community, which brings us the wide variety of foods we enjoy. Cottonseed oil is America's original vegetable oil, and has been part of the American diet for more than a century. Cajun Injector cottonseed oil refined and deodorized and is one of the purest food products available. Another benefit is the high level of antioxidants (Vitamin E) that contribute to its long life in the cooker or on the shelf. Studies show these natural antioxidants are retained at high levels in fried products, creating longer shelf life.

Aristotle was born at Stagira in northern Greece in 384 b.c. His father, Nicomachus, was a physician at the court of Philip of Macedon, the father of Alexander the Great. In 367, Aristotle moved to Athens, which was the intellectual and cultural center of ancient Greece. He spent many years studying in Plato's Academy, surrounded by other philosophers, scientists, and mathematicians. Plato died in 347, and Aristotle left the Academy in that same year. There is speculation that he left because Plato had not chosen him as his successor. It is more likely, however, that anti-Macedonian sentiment was growing in Athens, and Aristotle was afraid of being persecuted for his associations with King Philip's court.
Over the next four years, Aristotle traveled throughout the eastern Aegean area, studying and teaching. During this time, he conducted a remarkable array of experiments and observations in the biological sciences. In 343, he was summoned back north to Macedonia to be the personal tutor to the young Alexander the Great. While we know very little about Aristotle's influence on Alexander, there has been a great deal of speculation and mythologizing about the relationship between these two eminent figures.
As the Macedonians extended their empire over Greece, it became safe for Aristotle to return to Athens. In 334, he established his own philosophical school at the Lyceum, where he taught for the next eleven years. His lectures covered almost every area of study, including physics, metaphysics, ethics, psychology, politics, and poetry. His pioneering work in logic and biology was not improved upon for two thousand years.
In 323, Alexander the Great died, and Aristotle left Athens, fearing another upsurge of anti-Macedonian sentiment. Alluding to the trial and execution of Socrates some seventy-six years earlier, Aristotle reportedly claimed that he did not wish the Athenians to "sin a second time against philosophy." A year later, he died in Chalcis in Euboea.
Though Aristotle published many admired works in his lifetime, none have survived to the present day. Those works that we do have consist mostly of lecture notes from his courses at the Lyceum. That these works were never intended for publication explains why they are generally dry and hard to follow. The Nicomachean Ethics was likely either edited by or dedicated to Aristotle's son, Nicomachus.
The Greek world of Aristotle's time was made up of small city-states, each with its own autonomous government. The city-state consisted of slaves, noncitizen manual laborers, children, women, aliens, and citizens. The citizens were adult males, most of whom had been born to citizen parents. The citizens governed the city, while the slaves, laborers, and women did all the work to provide the necessary food, shelter, and equipment. Because they were freed from the necessity of meeting day-to-day needs, citizens enjoyed a great deal of freedom and luxury. The leisure they enjoyed was highly valued and made possible one of the greatest periods of intellectual energy in human history. That this system was exploitative is hardly debatable, but it also produced an incredible array of philosophy, drama, art, and architecture. Aristotle's students were young citizens whose tuition was meant to prepare them for a life of civic duty.
There were few enough citizens that everyone in a given city would at least recognize, if not know, one another, and all citizens were expected to take part in public office. Unlike our modern system of representative democracy, where we simply elect officials to speak for us, all Greek citizens were expected to voice their own opinions in large deliberative and judicial assemblies. There was a strong bond of kinship created in citizenship, as the same people lived together, governed together, served in the army together, and enjoyed leisure time together.
The age of the city-state came to a close within Aristotle's lifetime, however, due to the efforts of his most famous pupil, Alexander the Great. Alexander came to power in the northern kingdom of Macedonia and within a decade had established one of the largest empires the world has ever seen. When Alexander died, Greece once more became fragmented, but the fierce independence of the city-states was a thing of the past. Greek culture was on the decline, and within a few hundred years, it would be swallowed up by the burgeoning Roman Empire.
As the successor of Socrates and Plato, Aristotle was the last of the great Greek philosophers. Philosophy first flourished in Greece sometime in the early sixth century b.c. as inquisitive thinkers began developing rational methods for investigating the mysteries of nature and mathematics. These pre-Socratic thinkers were as much scientists and mathematicians as they were philosophers.
While there is significant pre-Socratic influence in Aristotle's work, primarily in the sciences and metaphysics, his most significant influence was undoubtedly Plato (427–347 b.c.). Plato's philosophy was centered on his famous Theory of Forms, or Theory of Ideas. The theory is based on the observation that there must be some universal quality that all things classed under a single name share in common. For instance, a flower is beautiful in a very different way from a human, but both the flower and the human must share something in common if we are to call them both "beautiful." Plato's answer is that they share in common the "Form of Beauty," which is itself invisible, unchanging, and eternal. Anything that we perceive in this world as beautiful is beautiful because it participates in some way in the Form of Beauty. But while beautiful flowers will wilt and beautiful humans will grow old and die, the Form of Beauty is everlasting and unchanging. Plato theorizes that our world of sensible experience, with its changes and disappointments, is but a poor reflection of the ideal world of pure Forms that underlies our experience. The goal of philosophy, then, is to train the mind to see beyond the veil of experience and to contemplate the true reality of Forms that lies behind it.
While Aristotle was undoubtedly influenced by Plato, this influence was mostly negative. Most of his works, including the Nicomachean Ethics, contain involved refutations of many of Plato's theories. Aristotle himself was an empirical scientist who felt that true wisdom comes from examining the objects of experience and not from trying to look beyond them. In the Ethics, he is primarily critical of Plato's Form of Good. According to Aristotle, there is not a single Form by virtue of which all good things are good. Instead, he discusses at length the multiplicity of the various virtues.
Aristotle's work in the Ethics is deeply informed by his own work in the sciences and metaphysics. Properly describing the breadth of Aristotle's impressive system is far beyond the scope of this Spark-Note, but Jonathan Barnes's Aristotle (2000) provides an excellent and brief introduction to Aristotelian philosophy.
In terms of impact on the Ethics, perhaps Aristotle's most significant concept is that of the teleology of nature. According to Aristotle, nature works toward a telos, or end goal. His biological work aims constantly at the question of what purpose different aspects of plants and animals serve. He classifies humans as "rational animals," meaning that our telos is rational. In other words, our function in life is to realize our full potential as rational beings. If we are not fully rational, we are falling short of our true nature.
This teleological view gives Aristotle's Ethics a clear sense of direction. Our goal in life is to achieve our true nature, and this true nature consists essentially of rationality. The purpose of a moral education, then, is to teach us how we may become perfectly rational and immune to the temptations of our lower animalistic parts.
Ethics is just one of a number of fields that Aristotle classifies as "practical science." Unlike the natural sciences, which examine the world around us, these sciences deal with the practical aspects of human society and how best to arrange this society. The practical sciences are all closely connected, and Aristotle frequently expounds on the connection between the good life for the individual and the kind of state that could make this good life possible. Hence, Aristotle's Politics is an important companion and sequel to his Ethics.
While the Nicomachean Ethics is Aristotle's most popular work on ethics, there is a second work called the Eudemian Ethics, which is far less widely read. Most scholars agree that the Eudemian Ethics was written earlier in Aristotle's career and represents a less mature view. Books V, VI, and VII of the Nicomachean Ethics are also found in the Eudemian Ethics.
Aristotle's influence on Western philosophy is difficult to exaggerate. While his works were lost to the West for many centuries, they were slowly transmitted back into Europe by Arab scholars during the Middle Ages. Thanks mostly to the influence of Saint Thomas Aquinas, Aristotelian philosophy became accepted almost as dogmatically as the Bible during the late Middle Ages. While modern philosophy broke significantly from the scholastic tradition of the Middle Ages, Aristotle's influence remains undiminished. In particular, his emphasis on scientific reasoning and experimentation has been a cornerstone of modern empiricist philosophy.
The author of this commentary claims that Aristotle's "concept of distributive justice is meant to ensure that the greatest privilege go to those male aristocrats who exhibit the greatest virtue rather than to those who have the greatest wealth, the greatest military strength, or the most friends." This claim is superficial and grossly misleading. We need to approach books by trying to understand them as the author understands them, and in this case Aristotle articulates a principle of justice, called merit, that transcends gender and socia

Thanks for the good article.
To the previous poster: Can you explain where you see that Aristotle's principle is meant by the author to transcend gender etc.? I am especially confused by this because you state that we should not read the book as it might be interpreted, but as the author intended it to be interpreted (if I got you right). Doesn't it seem highly unlikely that someone like Aristotle would include anyone but citizens of the polis in his considerations? Do you have any citation that would support Aristotle including women ... Read more→

For the last time: STOP CALLING ME CHRISDUDE! I'M NOT THAT GUY! Just because people are posting something on DyingScene doesn't mean I'm that dude. I'm Alex101, just Alex101 not ChrisDude, how many times do I have to say that? If I hear someone call me ChrisDude, I swear to God I'll never post here again.
Holy shit, ChrisDude! Don't you realize that the more you say you don't want people to call you that, the more people will call you that?

I'm already getting sick and tired of people calling me ChrisDude. How many times do I have to tell you people. I'm not kidding and I'm not joking. My name is Alex101, not ChrisDude. Let's just end this argument now. From now on, don't call me call me by either Alex101 or just Alex, which is my real name.

An Inconvenient Truth for a SICKO Administration
by | July 18, 2007
Just when we think a president with 28% approval ratings couldn't get less support from the public, Bush has found a way to reach new lows. He is threatening to veto reauthorization of the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), a program to provide health insurance coverage to low- and middle-income children that enjoys broad bipartisan support. As the New Republic reports, this is not the first time he has short-changed SCHIP. With 9 million children in the U.S. lacking health insurance, SCHIP reauthorization is a vital step toward closing the coverage gap. But the Bush White House doesn't like the fact that some governors (both Democrat and Republican) have expanded their programs to cover not just kids at the poverty limit, but their working parents as well. This is merely a reflection of how spiraling health care costs have made insurance coverage unaffordable for millions of working families. And that's an Inconvenient Truth that this SICKO administration would prefer to ignore.Previous: Rhode Island AFSCME Members Win Privatization Fight

First the apartment is just as advertised. A small balcony with a sweeping view of downtown Santiago and the surrounding mountains. Very nicely appointed. The apartment itself is bright and airy and just nice to be in. We stayed in the unit for 12 days cooking in most of the time and found the kitchen and utensils more than adequate to prepare meals.
Location: There is a subway stop about 40 feet from the front door which allowed us to visit almost all the city in a very fast and non confusing manner. Three blocks to the right of the building is a butcher shop if you need to buy meat for dinner. Another 3 blocks further is a grocery store which we found contained everything we needed. To the left of the front door about 50 feet is a nice little store for water, snacks, a small selection of house hold item and a nice selection of fresh bakery items.
And the one very nice surprise was the owner, Cecilia. What a delightful and helpful lady. She checked up on us to make sure everything with the unit was always OK and if we were having any problems outside the unit. For a question she was just an e-mail or phone call away. With our limited Spanish, and being by ourselves, we always though we could contact Cecilia and she would provide guidance. We have stayed in different apartment in our travels and can honestly say Cecilia was the most helpful and enjoyable owner we've encountered.

Next week, Book Expo America, "North America's premier meeting of book trade professionals," will take over the Javits Center in NYC. This year's guest of honor at BEA is none other than RUSSIA, your humble author's area of beloved expertise, and Russia will be the focus of a TON of super-cool events/panels/readings/parties as well as the "2012 Global Markets Forum" (aka: the business of books in and out of Russia, including my favorite Russian indie publisher, Ad Marginem Press!) all between June 2-7 as part of BEA's READ RUSSIA 2012 initiative.
According to the fine folks at READ RUSSIA: "Russia's 4,000-square-foot BEA exhibition space at the Javits Center will host presentations for industry professionals on the Russian book market, Russian literature in translation, and new works by Russian writers, publishers, historians, and journalists."
Open Letter's own Mikhail Shishkin, whose incredible English-language debut, Maidenhair, comes out October 13, will be one of the many contemporary Russian writers present at BEA. He's part of a panel at 4:30 on Wednesday with Andrei Gelasimov, and will sit in on the presentation of the "Big Book" (Bol'shaya Kniga) Award Thursday at 10am.
Shishkin will also be doing a discussion with translator-extraordinaire Marian Schwartz and Open Letter publishing wizard Chad Post, hosted by The Bridge Series at McNally Jackson Books in SoHo on Thursday night at 7pm. So come and hang out with the Open Letter family at any of these awesome events and meet Shishkin, who is, from all accounts, a hilarious and awesome dude who speaks highly fluent English, so you don't have to suffer through one of those awkward translator-trying-to-make-jokes-work moments. The good times will fly free.
Also, check out this bad boy under the Russian "Writers at BEA: Featured Writers" section:
Look familiar? Oh yeah, that's not Mikhail Shishikin, nor is it Zakhar Prilepin, Dmitry Bykov, or any of the contemporary writers who will actually be at BEA, it's our old friend Aleksandr Pushkin, who of course died 200 years ago, and who will only be present at BEA in the form of a tattooed portrait on my arm, but whose birthday we will allllll be celebrating on Wednesday in "true Russian fashion" (you can guess what that means)!
But READ RUSSIA is a killer endeavor, filling the streets of NYC with some of the greatest living Russian writers (especially Shishkin and the mustachio'd Bykov and the intensity-in-ten-cities Prilepin, but I really really wish Mikhail Elizarov were there!), and giving the publishing world a much-needed glimpse into the Russia beyond the classics and outside of the overtly political commentary in Western media and literature about the country.
Check out a full list of READ RUSSIA events all over NYC here or a list of all Russian-related events at BEA here.

Hey guys, forgive me if this has already been mentioned, and or beat-to-death, but why is there no Nike+ compatibility for the Shuffle? I don't know about you guys but when i go out running between 5-10 miles i dont want to have some clunky thing strapped to my arm, leg, waist, or wherever. I don't understand why Nike+ isn't compatible with the obviously runners geared Shuffle, I suppose i would also be open to suggestions for iPod Nano running set-ups. Thanks guys, sorry if that came off as a rant. Parkeyb
The iPod Shuffle has no screen to tell you how far you have run, nor has it got any method of attaching a receiver. The iPod Nano really isn't 'clunky'.
The only way that you can connect something to the iPod shuffle is through the headphone jack. Even if a modified version of the receiver is developed, how would you hear the music after you have connected the receiver? There would be nowhere left to plug in the earphones. Also, with no screen or click wheel on the shuffle, you can't control the Nike+ kit. And like a previous poster have stated, you can't track your progress.
I have an iPhone (which also doesn't work the Nike+ system) and I got rid of my nano (which I only used for the Nike+ system). After waitng for a while, I caved and bought the Nike+ wrist-band. It's a little rubber band (like the livestrong bracelets.. just bigger) with basic info. It comes with the shoe piece and the display unhooks from the wristband to be pluggd into a USB port... the website works the exact same. It's a work around so that I didn't have to buy a nano and could use my phone.. it's light and hardly notice it on my wrist... you could still use your shuffle for music and have it be lightweight
thanks jon i think i'll check that out. And to the previous posters I don't really care about my progress until after my run, I want to see my stats afterwards not during.
I almost went with the wrist band route but figured I would use my youch a few times to see if the size bothered me and after the first couple miles I deceied it was not a problem so I never ordered the wristband, but it looks pretty slick On a somewhat related note I also purchased one of the pouches designed to hold the transmitter so I don't have to use Nike running shoes which are not my favorite!
Yeah, the wrist band does seem like the right solution for you. I really like Nike+ with my iPod nano, although I'm not using it for my winter running because it's all treadmill based short runs. What I do (since I don't run on Nikes) is cut a slot in the upper surface of the tongue, right around the last crossing of the laces closest to the toes. Then I just slip the sensor into the tongue, and it's very secure there.

CR84FN62 + Moxie Fab Focal Point
I looooooove all shades of purple, but it doesn't seem to be as popular as other colours amongst cardies/scrappers - why is that? Anyway, I was chuffed to see that this CR84FN Color Challenge 62 coincided with my best chum's birthday (she's a fanatic for purple too, and butterflies). Hope she likes it!
Update: In retrospect, I thought this one might suit the Moxie Fab World Focal Point Challenge, so I've submitted it there too.

Conservative Catholic order meets to turn page on scandalous past
By Philip Pullella
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - How can an order of priests go on serving the Catholic Church and the faithful after revelations that the man who founded it was a fraud who lived a double life as a pedophile, womanizer and drug addict?
That is the dilemma facing the Legionaries of Christ, as the conservative religious order started a six-week meeting on Wednesday to write a new constitution and chart a future course that would put the stain of scandal behind it.
The order, once a darling of the Vatican because it attracted more people to religious vocations and made sizeable financial donations to the Church, has been in receivership since 2010.
At that point, former Pope Benedict appointed a personal delegate to run it while investigations were carried out and preparations made for upcoming changes.
The order runs private Catholic schools and charitable organizations in 22 countries via its network of some 950 priests and 1,000 seminarians. It operates a Catholic university in Rome and its lay movement, known as Regnum Christi, has around 30,000 members.
Father Marcial Maciel, a Mexican who founded the order in 1941, ran it like a cult rooted in secrecy, according to former Legionaries. Members took a special vow promising never to criticize the founder or question his motives.
For decades the Vatican dismissed accusations by seminarians that Maciel had abused them sexually, some when they were as young as 12.
Pope John Paul II, who is set to become a saint in May, was a strong supporter, appreciating the group's ability to attract more people to clerical life than other religious orders. Continued...

Gas-Turbine Regenerators Regenerative gas turbines are attractive alternatives to diesel engines and spark ignition engines for automobiles and to diesel engines and combined-cycle en gines for power generation. Theory indicates regenerative gas turbines should achieve higher thermal efficiencies than those of diesel engines and combined cycle engines. Further, regenerative gas turbines are potentially lower in cost, require less maintenance, require less space, and pollute less than competitive systems. Regenerators can be used for exhaust-gas heat exchange or for intercooling in gas-turbine systems. As an exhaust-gas heat exchanger, a regenerator recovers heat from the exhaust and uses it to preheat the compressed air before the compressed air enters the combustor. Preheating of the compressed air permits a small heat input to the combustor for a given power output of the engine. As an intercooler, a regenerator cools the gas between compressor stages. Less work is required to compress cool gas than is required to compress warm gas. Therefore, a regenerator intercooler can reduce the required work input to the compressor. Thus, regenerators can be used to increase the thermal efficiencies and power outputs of gas turbines. the backbones of high-performance re High-performance regenerators are generative gas turbines. In the past, lack of understanding of regenerator per formance has led to sub-optimal engine designs. Now this book gives com prehensive regenerator information. With this book, the designer can design regenerators that will yield gas turbines with maximum thermal efficiencies.

It's 3:22 am. Michelle is awoken by the urgent cries for help from her middle child. She leaps out of bed and runs down the hallway where she finds Jake in the bathroom, standing on the edge of the tub, and pointing frantically at the toilet. It's overflowing. Water is gushing out and quickly submerging the floor. Pretty soon it'll reach the hallway, and the carpet will be ruined.
Michelle screams for Jake to run and bring back as many towels as he can find. She reaches down to turn off the valve. It breaks off into her hand. Now Michelle is screaming frantically for Tim. He and Olivia run in before they know the situation, and now their socks are drenched. Tim complains about that icky wet sock feeling because it's totally the worst.
Jake comes back with as many towels as he can carry, but there aren't enough. They quickly become super-saturated, unable to absorb any more. The water slowly creeps closer to the hallway. Tim runs to the basement to shut off the water main. Olivia unrolls a big wad of paper towels, but they disintegrate almost immediately upon contact.
Michelle wrings out the towels over the tub as quickly as she can, but her efforts are barely making a dent in the amassing pool. Ella peeks around the door to see what all the fuss is about, then disappears, presumably back to bed.
Tim successfully shuts down the water to the house, but the mess in the bathroom is now inches from the hallway carpet. Jake tries to bail as much as he can into the sink with the plastic Shrek collector's cup he got in a Happy Meal a while back, but nothing seems to be working.
Michelle, Olivia and Jake just stop and stare, helpless. The carpet will surely have to be replaced. But not for weeks after they file their insurance claim, and by then, the mildewy stench will surely have taken over the upstairs.
Suddenly, Ella reappears with a stack of Seventh Generation Diapers. She quickly builds a makeshift levee in the doorway, and the premium, cloth-like diapers free of fragrances, latex and petroleum-based lotions absorb enough of the water to give the others time to finish the clean-up.
Crisis averted. Carpet spared. All in a night's work for Super Ella.

RFIDs to track drugs
By David
"The Food and Drug Administration and several major drug makers are expected to announce initiatives today that will put tiny radio antennas on the labels of millions of medicine bottles to combat counterfeiting and fraud.
Among the medicines that will soon be tagged are Viagra, one of the most counterfeited drugs in the world, and OxyContin, a pain-control narcotic that has become one of the most abused medicines in the United States. The tagged bottles – for now, only the large ones from which druggists get the pills to fill prescriptions – will start going to distributors this week, officials said […]"

Strategy-proof Preference Aggregation
An aggregation rule maps each profile of individual strict preference orderings over a set of alternatives into a social ordering over that set. We call such a rule strategyproof if misreporting one's preference never produces a social ordering that is strictly between the original ordering and one's own preference. After describing a few examples of manipulable rules, we study in some detail three classes of strategy-proof rules: (i)rules based on a monotonic alteration of the majority relation generated by the preference profile; (ii)rules improving upon a fixed status-quo; and (iii) rules generalizing the Condorcet-Kemeny aggregation method.

Product Description:
1. IMPORTANCE OF THE SUBJECT In 1900, in A Critical Exposition of the Philosophy of Leihniz, Russell made the following assertion: "That all sound philosophy should begin with an analysis of propositions is a truth too evident, perhaps, to demand a proof". 1 Forty years later, the interest aroused by this notion had not decreased. C. J. Ducasse wrote in the Journal of Philosophy: "There is perhaps no question more basic for the theory of knowledge than that of the nature of 2 propositions and their relations to judgments, sentences, facts and inferences". Today, the great number of publications on the subject is proof that it is still of interest. One of the problems raised by propositions, the problem of deter#65533; mining whether propositions, statements or sentences are the primary bearers of truth and falsity, is even in the eyes of Bar-Hillel, "one of the major items that the future philosophy oflanguage will have to discuss". 3 gave a correct summary of the situation when he wrote in his Ph. Devaux Russell (1967): Since Peano and Schroder who, in fact, adhered more faithfully to Boole's logic of classes, the logical and epistemological status of the proposition together with its analysis have not ceased to be the object of productive philosophical controversies. And especially so since the establishment of contemporary symbolic logic, the foundations 4 of which have been laid out by Russell and Whitehead. * 2.

Wouldn't it have been great to see the record-label execs' faces when Joanna Newsom, harpist, singer-songwriter and indie pin-up, presented them with Have One on Me, her long-awaited third album? All 18 tracks of it. Over three discs. With an average song duration of seven minutes. In our age of the three-minute MP3, it surely raised some eyebrows.
But people have come to expect this kind of left-field activity from Newsom, one of the most exciting and enigmatic songwriters around. And what a two-hour-and-four-minute musical journey it is, during which you're likely to come across some of the most achingly beautiful and unique songs you'll hear all year. For most critics, Newsom can do no wrong but surely a triple album is a bit much, even for an artist who delights in her quirks as much as she does?
Newsom tells me that she played around with the format before settling on three discs because it "made sense". She spoke with someone at her label about the triple-disc idea "in terms of morning, noon and night, although that wasn't the concept when the album was written but the way that the narrative progresses... it feels a lot like that." When I ask Newsom if the three discs that comprise Have One on Me might be compared to three acts of a play, she ponders, "I haven't heard the description of three acts yet, but I think that makes a lot of sense, actually."
Newsom, 28, was born in Nevada City, California, to doctors who encouraged her and her two siblings to play the piano. The story goes that the six-year-old Newsom instead became enchanted with the harp and begged her parents for lessons. The local tutor decided she would have to wait a couple of years, which little Joanna patiently did before she was finally granted her dream of becoming a harpist by the age of 10.
She continued to play throughout her school years before enrolling at Mills College in Oakland, California, with the intention of becoming a composer. After being disappointed with the course, she dropped out and began making some rough recordings of her songs. One of her CDs made its way to the anti-folk hero Will Oldham (or Bonnie "Prince" Billy, as he is better known), who invited Newsom to accompany him on his US tour. She eventually signed to Oldham's label, Drag City, and released her debut album, The Milk-Eyed Mender, to great acclaim in 2004. Ys followed in 2006 and cemented her status as a folk sensation.
Just as there was a marked difference between The Milk-Eyed Mender and Ys, her sound has evolved yet again for Have One on Me. The most apparent change is that her voice is barely recognisable. It is much more restrained and natural-sounding than it has been in previous releases. At times she sounds like Joni Mitchell, at others like Kate Bush. It's a pleasing aural aesthetic that might ingratiate her with those who had previously deemed her too shrill or witchy.
That's not to say that it was a pre-meditated move. "The process of touring constantly, definitely changed the voice, often in ways that I wasn't totally conscious of," she says. Then, after two years of touring, disaster struck. "I ended up injuring myself and had to go on voice-rest for a few months and so, of course, at the end of that, all of my singing ability had just atrophied." She saw doctors, speech therapists and eventually, a vocal coach. She concedes, "I'm not totally sure what happened but it definitely feels a lot different now."
While the harp remains the primary instrument on the record, the sound is more accessible. Newsom admits that the "harmonic ideas are a lot less abstract" and it's "a lot more spare" than the dense arrangements of Ys. The full orchestra has been replaced by folksy instruments such as the banjo, oboe and mandolin. She points out that the presence of drums also "helps somehow" in making it more grounded. However, it's still an epic album, sounding at one point like it was recorded in a bar in the Wild West and at other times in a Tudor court.
But that is not to say it doesn't make sense. Themes of love, home and debauchery recur throughout. The title, Have One on Me, was chosen for its association with drinking and decadence as well as its emotional connotations. She explains, "It felt kind of appropriate to have the expression people use when they're buying a round, but also in the song that the title comes from, the expression is sort of used as an example of self-sacrifice. I was thinking of it in terms of a bottle that's full, and then you pour into someone else's glass, and it's a little less full, and the giving of yourself diminishes the self."
Elsewhere on the album, notions of romantic love, family love and friendship are explored. "Good Intentions Paving Company" is a rollicking, brilliant song that compares a journey being made across country to the journey of a relationship. The album ends with the heartbreaking "Does Not Suffice", which sees her packing up all her belongings so that "everywhere I tried to love you/ is yours again/ and only yours". The "tap of hangers, swaying in the closet" says it all.
"'81" is a gorgeous little track, presumably about her conception, and it's a classic example of Newsom's use of nature in her work: "I found a little plot of land/ in the garden of Eden./ It was dirt, and dirt is all the same," she sings.
In the past, Newsom has found it difficult to disassociate herself from the woodland figure of her songs. There's a degree of self-mythologising in her music, with its references to courtyards, Mother Nature and the earth, such that fans don't want to accept that she doesn't live in a tree, and actually exists in the 21st century. She tells me she's "conscious of the possibility of disappointing someone when they speak to me, that I'm not going to meet expectations, because that's not who I am".
She is after all, just a girl. A girl who likes fashion (she has modelled for Armani and tells me excitedly that the sisters behind the avant-garde label Rodarte are "in their own amazing artistic world"); one who dates the Saturday Night Live comedian Andy Samberg (probably most famous over here for his "Dick in a Box" comedy skit with Justin Timberlake); a girl who likes to "go out to eat with my friends and family", and listen to Dirty Projectors and Roy Harper. One who loves Hemingway and Nabokov. I ask her when she would live if she could live at any point in history, and she responds with, "Now. Twenties Paris I wouldn't have minded, or 1970s southern California, but I wouldn't have been able to know the people I know. The main things that matter to me are relationships and friends and family."
Further eschewing the idea that she exists in some other-worldly realm, Newsom has licensed some of her tracks to be used in adverts for HSBC and Victoria's Secret. "It might be distasteful but it's a totally necessary thing. That's what allowed me to survive while I didn't tour for two years, and make this record. I wasn't living off royalties, that's for sure," she giggles.
Even though the album is still very earthy, the references to decadence may suggest that Newsom is trying to escape the nature-child vision fans have of her. The colourful artwork for Have One on Me sees her lying on a sofa, heavy of make-up and surrounded by an Old Curiosity Shop of opulence: peacocks, fawns, leopard print, silks. When I ask her how involved she was with creating the over-the-top scene, she explodes with laughter: "Those are all my things! It's pretty insane when it's altogether. I wanted to evoke the Edwardian era and the roaring Twenties... We had all these touchstones and all of it was meant to connect back to the way the album feels, and that decadence."
Newsom is so sweet that you can't imagine her being debauched. I ask her, if she was to have one on me, what would her tipple be? "Oh, it definitely depends on what's happening! Probably some sort of whiskey. More often, I just get a beer." And there you have it. Joanna Newsom: her music may be celestial, but, at her insistence, she's just a regular beer-drinking girl.

A recent trip to the studio, these shots have normally been edited so as I am no longer in them but here is a look at the way they start out with the ugly bloke still there. This is really quite special stuff and I am very proud to be wearing it. Lots of developments and refinements mean it has progressed since last year. Available to buy in selected shops and on line at www.lecol.net
Here is a photo of me getting beaten by a 15 year old. Not something I am proud of but then I was not even second as the 15 year old in question also beat the every other top british based pro in the country including defending Champ, Dan Fleeman, Ex National champ Kristian House so did a pretty good job of the 2min climb! The sorry thing was this was my last race for the season.

Just a quick freebie of DeviantArt user Raynesinnette's Original Character Leiya.
Was very fun drawing her from start to finish in GIMP 2 using a new shading technique I picked up from watching Harry Partridge and Jazza tutorials on Youtube.
Would really appreciate any criticism or tips that could help me improve any future drawings.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Fantastic! I love your style, you have some great things going on here. Clean linework, very good use of shade and color, and the character design and solidity is really good. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!
Awe, thanks very much for the compliments and the video feature~
Sorry 'bout the sloppy pixel scraps (only noticed them in the video). I thought I got rid of them all but apparently I missed a VERY large amount of them. Need to keep an eye out and find a more effective way of locating them.

Pop Perfect
The Monterey Pop Festival of 1967 was the first and still is the greatest of rock concerts
By Gina Arnold
THIRTY-FOUR years ago this weekend, the Monterey Pop Festival was held at the Monterey Fairgrounds--the harbinger of an entire era of rock music yet to come. It was the first real music festival, lasting three days and showcasing 36 incredibly diverse acts, ranging from bland pop types like the Association and Lou Rawls to blues legend Otis Redding. It also featured the national debuts and seminal performances by then-unknowns like the Who, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin.
More importantly, the festival drew together a like-minded audience of rock fans--"The Love Crowd," they were dubbed by the Village Voice--who would soon join forces to become the American counterculture, and all that implies.
Tim Thomas was in the sixth grade at the time, and he was dying to attend in order to see his favorite band, Country Joe McDonald and the Fish. Not surprisingly, his parents forbade him the pleasure, and Thomas, now a curator at the Monterey History and Art Association, has been looking for a way to make up for the disappointment ever since.
That's why, this weekend, Thomas is helping to present Monterey Pop Revisited, a two-day symposium on the site of the original festival. The event will includes panel discussions with some of the festival's musicians and attendees, performances, an exhibit of photos and memorabilia, and a showing of Monterey Pop hosted by its director, D.A. Pennebaker.
Of course, it won't be the same as seeing Redding, Joplin, Hendrix, the Who, the Byrds, the Buffalo Springfield, the Jefferson Airplane and many other acts at the height of their powers, but Thomas is still hoping that the weekend's events will do a little bit to assuage his disappointment.
THE IDEA of having some sort of Monterey Pop reunion event came to him, he said, in 1992, on the 25th anniversary of the original event. "I thought for sure someone would do something about it, but that weekend I tried to track down the film, and I couldn't even find a copy of it at the video stores. It's always surprised me that the city of Monterey has never done anything about it, since it was such an important event here. So when the museum started talking about how they wanted to do more contemporary exhibits, I threw the idea out and they [the museum] bought into it immediately."
Thomas normally works with the Maritime Museum on exhibits about the fishing industry, so an event to do with rock & roll was a little out of his line. His task was made easier by the Internet. "I plugged in all the names of the performers, and they all had webpages of their own," he says. "The first person I emailed that way was Country Joe McDonald, and he answered me back in 10 minutes."
Most of his work was done by email, but he wrote Lou Adler, the event's original promoter (with the late John Phillips, of the Mamas and the Papas) a real letter--"old style." Adler, who in addition to promoting the Monterey Pop Festival is known for producing The Rocky Horror Picture Show and various groups like Jan and Dean, and Carole King, is in charge of administering the charitable funds that the Monterey Pop Festival video, album and music still generate, and he was eager to get involved.
"It's a blueprint for all subsequent music festivals," Adler says. "And it did establish rock as a force to be reckoned with."
Speaking from his office in L.A., Adler recalls the conversation that spurred on the idea of the festival in the first place. "It was a conversation we had at Mama Cass' house a few months before the event," he says.
"It was me, John Phillips, Cass Elliot and Paul McCartney, and we were all talking about the fact that rock & roll--or what we called rock & roll then--was not considered an art form, like jazz and the blues. When it was first invented, in the '50s, it was supposed to be this dumb thing that would be gone by the end of the summer, and here it was still thriving. So we were talking about ways to legitimize it, and one idea we had was to have a charitable event with all these different acts."
Soon after, Adler and Phillips were approached by some promoters who had wanted to do a one-day pop concert on the Monterey Fairgrounds, the site of the Monterey Jazz Festival. Adler and Phillips immediately saw that as an opportunity. "John and I had both heard that in the late '30s, the series Jazz at the Philharmonic had validated jazz to people. so we thought putting rock music at the site of the already established Monterey Jazz Festival would validate rock."
And validate it did. Somehow, the three-day concert, June 16-18, 1967, seemed to take place under a lucky star. Everything that could go right, did--from the weather (gorgeous) to the music (incandescent) to the positive publicity.
"To this day," Adler boasts, "artists say it was one of the best events of its kind they were ever at. It really elevated promoters' outlooks on how to treat artists, and it made record companies conscious that the artist had power. After Monterey, they really gave them more freedom to choose their album cover art, their producers, their songs. ... It had a lot of ancillary effects on the industry."
One of its main effects was on concert promoting. "Artists were used to performing with a microphone and two small speakers," Adler recalls. "We wanted them to have the best sound, the best facility, the best food backstage. ... We wanted it to be a utopia."
And a utopia they got. At the time, recalls former Jefferson Airplane bassist and Monterey Pop Festival participant Jack Casady, there were really very few festivals. "It wasn't like we went there with expectations," he says. "We weren't on tour all the time; we'd only been together a year and a half. Any gig was a good gig for us."
The Monterey Pop Festival was a breakthrough event for the Jefferson Airplane, which became nationally known thanks to its performance there, but what Casady recalls best is the music itself, especially sets by Redding and Ravi Shankar.
"It was just a great opportunity to see all these great artists we'd never seen," Casady says. "It wasn't really a freeform event, everyone had really short sets, but as a musical event it was just great. It provided everyone with a new environment to see all these different, eclectic acts that you might not listen to at home."
Adler agrees. "The music was on such a high level--the diversity of the artists, their excellence. ... and I don't really think that's ever been repeated on quite the same scale."
The Monterey Pop Festival also had a huge impact on the public's perception of the rock scene and its fans. "The media coverage was worldwide," Adler says, "and that had never happened before. You can send out all the press releases you want, and if it's not in the media's psyche, then forget it. We had Derek Taylor, the Beatles' publicist, doing press, and we knew we had a lot of requests for media credentials, but it was still a shock, on the morning of the festival, to wake up and see all these TV crews from all over the world."
OF COURSE, one reason the festival was such a big success was its fortuitous timing. "Everyone was flocking to San Francisco at that time," Adler recalls. "The Haight Ashbury was all over the news. It wasn't like people drove down from San Francisco to Monterey for the festival; they drove there from Cleveland and New York and wherever."
Filmmaker Pennebaker, who was hired to film the festival, concurs. "I had just seen the movie Endless Summer," he says, "and it was totally apparent to me it wasn't about surfing, but about California. At that time, everyone wanted to go to California, so I thought about [the offer to make the film] for about two minutes and then said 'Yes.' "
"It was," Pennebaker continues, "an extraordinary moment in American culture. There was a new sense of freedom in the air and that was reflected in the music, in the drugs, in everything. You could feel it coming like a hurricane."
Pennebaker pauses to reflect. "What happened at Monterey," he says, "was, I found myself in the middle of this cyclonic thing, filming people of great magnitude and talent. I just couldn't miss. We just had to turn on the cameras."
It turned out to be a good thing the cameras were there, since money from the film is the only thing that made the festival economically viable. After the concert, Adler suddenly found the someone had run off with all of the profits, leaving Pennebaker and the others $75,000 in the hole. They had already offered ABC television the right to first refusal for a TV special, but according to Adler, "We showed the head of ABC footage of Jimi Hendrix assaulting his guitar sexually, and he said, 'Take the footage!' "
Pennebaker doesn't remember trying to shock them deliberately, however. "I suppose we could have fabricated a festival they could have lived with, but no one said I had to do that. The minute I sat down to edit it, I was editing a feature film."
PENNEBAKER'S FILM--which will be shown at the symposium and which became yet another blueprint for concert films--was the first rock-concert film, in part, he says now, "because before then, it technically wasn't possible to record the music correctly."
He overcame that problem by borrowing two eight-track tape players belonging to Brian Wilson. Pennebaker remembers his shock, upon flying to Monterey, to find out that the venue was essentially a livestock pen. "I'd never seen a concert with a lot of people at it even," he adds, "but when I walked around on what was going to be the stage area, and tried to visualize the number of people who would be there and the staging and how to shoot it--well it all came together in my head."
Monterey Pop is a classic of the genre, mainly because the performances were so spectacular. And the film was very spectacular, grossing $2 million and spurring interest in the film of Woodstock. (Pennebaker was offered the directorship of that one, as well, but he turned it down.)
Around the same time, Adler recalls, he and Phillips considered doing another pop festival, but the times had already changed. "The citizens of Monterey weren't real happy about bringing it back; and prices had changed. The cost of the police, of liability insurance and everything--the whole atmosphere was different."
And the atmosphere is still different. In 1979, Chet Helms attempted to do a similar festival called Tribal Stomp 2 at the fairgrounds, which was a dismal failure (despite a very good lineup, including the Clash). Giant rock festivals are quite common in Europe, while in the United States, groups of acts that represent certain lifestyles or communities tend to tour together under titles like Ozzfest, Lilith Fair, FURTHER and Lollapalooza.
Some of these tours are extremely enjoyable, but Monterey Pop Festival remains the seminal pop festival, the single moment in time when the zeitgeist of America changed, and the change was captured on film.

Boston A serial thief with a penchant for knocking off gourmet chocolate shops and ice cream parlors is anything but sweet, police say.
The man police have dubbed the Bonbon Bandit is wanted in as many as 20 holdups in downtown Boston since April 17. He has brandished a knife, a handgun and even a sawed-off shotgun.
"I think he's extremely dangerous," Detective Sgt. Richard Ross said.
The robber tends to target businesses that are generally staffed by women and not monitored by security cameras, police said. Besides seven gourmet chocolate and ice cream shops, the Bonbon Bandit is suspected of robbing gift shops, stationery shops, a dry cleaner's and a candle store.
The bandit, Ross said, is a black man in his late 30s or early 40s, 5 feet 8 inches tall, 140 pounds and clean-shaven.
