Eccentric Van Dyke Parks finally reaches S.F.
Van Dyke Parks wrote Beach Boys songs with Brian Wilson, once turned down an offer to join the Byrds, scored orchestral arrangements for U2 and dozens of others, and had a recurring role as a child actor in "The Honeymooners," in addition to a handful of acclaimed, semi-obscure solo recordings over the past 40 years, but he is not known as a solo performer or bandleader.
"You're suspect in the fame game if you have a decidedly beta characteristic, and I do," Parks says on the phone from his Los Angeles home. "I am a beta male. Hetero. I'm a breeder, but I'm still beta, a noncompete kind of guy. I love to be part of the process, and that's totally true musically. I'm very comfortable in group situations. I don't feel diminished at all. I feel very effective that way - encouraging others and bringing out the best in them. There's so much that I appreciate about my own nonclassifiable work. I enjoy it. I look at everything I've done in my life as a songwriter and I say, 'What was I thinking?' I know that. I know it's not comfortable to find individuality alive in the arts. It's hard to package."
Specialized in individuality
Parks, 67, has always specialized in individuality. Born in Mississippi and educated in prep schools, Parks has a genteel manner, authentic erudition and magnolia blossoms on his tongue. He is a rock 'n' roll version of Mark Twain, often wearing white. Parks, one of the great behind-the-scenes figures in the Southern California music scene since he quit playing folk music in pop's Paleolithic era, is also making his San Francisco performing debut next week at the Swedish American Hall on a brief joint tour with Clare and the Reasons, a band led by Clare Muldaur, daughter of an old friend, musician Geoff Muldaur, his first real tour since he played keyboards with Ry Cooder more than 25 years ago.
Not a professional
"I don't have the professional equipment," he says. "I maybe should have a manager or something like that. To be in show business, I hear you have to have a manager. So I'm not a professional in a way. Nor has it been my priority because, to me, applause is vapid. I'm so inured to the insult, but never to what it can mean. I've learned so much from the criticism I've gotten. My favorite is from back in 1968, some cute little reporter called me the Edsel of pop music. Isn't that great? Applause to me is like that - it's no real litmus as to what you're doing. Sometimes it doesn't even leave a paper trail. It's gone. It evaporates. That never had allure to me."
Actually, Parks has been turning up performing in public in a few places recently. He played the Passionkirche in Berlin in November - incidental to his work as a member of the board of directors of the Neues Museum, where they keep Nefertiti's head - and another subsequent show in Frankfurt, which led to him being offered a slot of the annual Roskilde Festival in Denmark, where he will appear before a gigantic crowd ("I'll be like a red ant on a watermelon," he says).
"I said, 'Do you think I could have an orchestra?" Parks says. "He said, 'Well, up to 80 players wouldn't be a problem.' I said, 'Well, I'll have to look at my calendar. What are your dates?' He said 'July 1,2, 3 and 4.' I said, 'I'll take the Fourth, and I want the bunting. If you throw in an hour of darkness, I'll bring some fireworks and you can have some Sousa.' He says, 'We only have one hour of darkness.' I said, 'I'll take it.' So from zero to hero, right?"
By the way, Parks plans to open his Roskilde performance with a specially commissioned piece of Uruguayan tango.
Panamanian project
"I'm working on a Panamanian project, 'Panamania,' with a 27-year-old Guatemalan chirper to help her discover the beauty of these South American rhythms, take tango back to its birth in Uruguay, which is precedent to Argentina. It's just amazing - the guy said yes. The first 40 minutes is going to be a Panamanian romp. I'll throw in a couple of calypso things to give moment to the English language, orchestrating the whole thing."
It's a good time for Parks. He co-wrote the new Ringo Starr single, "Walk With You," and also recently wrote songs with Manhattan Transfer. He appeared in a trio with Bob Dylan and Ry Cooder on Howard Zinn's "The People Speak" in December on the History Channel. "I haven't seen Bob Dylan to speak with since 1963, when I was with him in Phil Ochs' apartment arguing about electricity and folk music," he says. "Asked him if he remembered, and he did indeed."
He will travel to Canada to perform with folk singer Suzie Ungerleider, who goes by the stage name Oh Susanna, whom he recorded with last year on a tribute album to '30s blues singers, the Mississippi Sheiks.
"It's a one-time-only thing," he says. "I'm going to run out of campaign promises and a reason for being after I appear. The idea of not appearing for so long has been very healthy."
A lot of his recent work has been with young musicians such as Joanna Newsom, on whose 2006 album, "Ys," Parks did the elaborate orchestral arrangements, or Inara George, daughter of Lowell George of Little Feat, on their collaboration last year, "An Invitation." He contributed orchestrations on recent albums by producer Danger Mouse with British psychedelic trio the Shortwave Set and the fifth album by Silverchair, "Young Modern," a title taken from Parks' nickname for the band's lead vocalist, Daniel Johns.
'A chamber sensibility'
"I'm working with people younger than my children," says Parks, whose son, a UC Berkeley journalism grad student and documentary filmmaker, and daughter, a former San Francisco middle school teacher, both live in the area.
Parks speaks highly of the music made by Clare and the Reasons.
"I'm delighted with what they do," he says. "They have a chamber sensibility. God forbid they would be branded as what they call a cabaret. Don't do that to them, I say. They do music that is so cross-pollinated. ... They create an image of a dream escape, kind of, I would say, noir is the word, and a certain theatricality. I like people who pursue theatricality in their acts, whether it's a Pink Martini or Incredible String Band. Where the group does something, has an attitude in the work. ... She does that. I thought this would not hurt me at all. Road shows are athletic. I've done them before. I played with Ry Cooder around the world. I enjoyed it very much."
Solo if necessary
He doesn't, however, know exactly what he will be doing, whether he will be playing solo or with accompaniment, or even whether he is opening or closing the show. He says he can play solo, if necessary.
"I'm flexible - sometimes I have to," he says. "But I don't work blue. In this case, I hope I will get the assistance of her group members. I played, no kidding, the Royal Festival Hall in London. I was so scared. I have only one phobia - playing to an empty seat. It has a funereal aspect. I don't mind if somebody gets up while I'm playing and leaves the room. That I can understand. But to arrive there and have an empty seat is a certain sign of failure."
Hoping for a bass
"I am hoping really that I get a bass," he says, "at least a bass with me, to liberate me a little bit to allow me to do other things on the keyboard. The merciful thing is that it won't be that long. It will be over soon, just like a good flu shot, and I think that it will guard against depression and ennui." {sbox}
Van Dyke Parks: With Clare and the Reasons and opening act Josh Mease, will perform at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the Swedish American Hall, 2170 Market St., San Francisco. $25. (415) 861-5106, www.cafedunord.com.

By money I mean a medium of economic exchange, something that can easily be exchanged for most other things.
To illustrate, I will imagine that person A has item X and wants item Y, while person B has item Y and wants item X.
I first consider what people do in societies without money.
In barter, people exchange items. A gives X to B and B gives Y to A. This requires a "coincidence of wants", which can be unlikely.
In a gift economy, people give items, and the recipients give other items back. Thus, A gives X to B, and B remembers A's favor and returns it by giving Y to A. There is still a problem with a coincidence of wants, though a weaker one.
These two approaches do not scale very well, and that is why money was invented, and invented several times. Consider money item M and a merchant S. A sells X to S for money M and buys Y from S for M. Likewise, B sells Y to S for M and buys X from S for M. The two transactions are now decoupled and a coincidence of wants becomes unnecessary. Let us now see what sorts of money have been used.
The simplest is commodity money, some item traded at its non-monetary value. Numerous items have been used as commodity money, like various metals, various seashells, salt, cows, and cigarettes. The latter has been used by inmates of World-War-II concentration camps, among others.
However, commodity money, though often relatively portable, is often not portable enough. Thus the invention of representative money, some item traded at much more than its non-monetary value. Paper money is the most well-known example of this, and it originated as IOU's for the likes of gold and silver. Coins may also serve as representative money, and a common type of it nowadays is entries in banks' computer databases.
Representative money need not be IOU's for commodity money. It can be fiat money, money decreed int existence (Latin "let (it) be made", not the Italian car). A big problem with fiat money is that central banks can print large amounts of it or do similar things with its computerized equivalent, producing lots of inflation.
Such monetary fraud as counterfeiting and coinage debasing are essentially forms of fiat money, and some people consider all fiat money to be forms of monetary fraud. Such people often want to return to the gold standard, which is essentially reducing paper money to IOU's for gold.
This raises a serious question about whether a large-scale, high-tech society can have no money. That was supposedly the case for the United Federation of Planets in the Star Trek universe, or at least for the Earth in it. But if a society does have money, it would be a great achievement if it avoided many of the economic and social pathologies associated with it.

Software Features and Limitations
The following information is provided to assist you in the design of your survey.
Keep in mind, SurveyMonkey for online research will NOT support the following:
- Unique survey URLs for individual survey participants
- Surveys that require custom variables
- Question types that require the user to enter information within a certain amount of time
- Tracking of survey responses to provide rewards/gifts to survey participants based off an ID
Click on a link below to jump directly to a specific Software Feature or Limitation:
Follow Up Questions
Many surveys often ask questions which require follow up questions, or what CHERRIES refers to as "adaptive questioning" to keep questions simple or to ensure respondents are only asked applicable questions. With the SurveyMonkey software, adaptive questioning is created through skip logic.
Skip logic is used to advance respondents to specific points in your survey or skip over any inapplicable questions based on their answer to a previous close-ended questions. You can apply skip logic to the following closed-ended question types in your survey:
- Multiple Choice*
- Dropdown
- Single-Row Rating Scale (Type of Matrix/Rating Scale)
*Applying skip logic to multiple choice questions works best when setup for single responses. While skip logic can be applied to multiple choice questions with multiple answers, if a respondent selects answer choices with different logic paths, the survey can only advance them to the destination set for whichever choice was listed first.
When submitting the questions for a new survey request, be sure to identify any necessary skip logic paths.
Anonymous Response Tracking
For confidentiality of data, the ORC configures SurveyMonkey surveys for anonymous responses such that the IP addresses of respondents do not appear in the collected results. If you are conducting a pre- and post- survey or any other type of survey that requires anonymous response tracking across multiple surveys, consider the following technique of using unique identifiers for anonymously identifying participants:
Begin your survey with a question asking respondents to create or enter (for follow up surveys) a unique identifier and provide instructions for generating the ID to ensure it will not be forgotten and remains consistent.
For example: To help us anonymously compare your pre- and post- survey responses, please provide a/your unique identifier using the last letter of your first, middle, and last name followed by the numerical portion of your street address. For example, John Doe Smith living at 640 Plum Street would enter, "neh640"
Mobile Response Options
At this time, Survey Monkey surveys are optimized for iPhone, iPod Touch, & iPad. Respondents can also respond to surveys from most mobile web browsers, since our surveys are optimized for most mainstream browsers (SurveyMonkey Supported Browsers). We are working to optimize our surveys for other media or mobile devices, like Apple & Android. If you plan to receive a large number of responses from mobile users, we suggest using simple question types in your design. Avoid including hard-to-scale matrix question types, as these are less likely to display properly on a small mobile screen. As you design your survey, keep in mind that many of your respondents may take the survey on their phone or tablet. It's important to consider how the survey will appear on a mobile screen, and how that can affect completion rates.
When designing surveys for mobile respondents:
- Use simple multiple choice question types
- Be as focused and succinct as possible – avoid long descriptions
- Limit the number of answer choices so that all response options are visible on the screen at the same time
- Limit the use of open-ended questions as these have a negative impact on mobile survey completion rates
- Distribute questions over multiple, short pages rather than creating fewer long pages
- Always preview and test your survey on the device you expect respondents to use

Chrystie NYC Race C Logo Pullover Hoodie Black
Hoodie features a white "C" embroidered on front of chest as well as the Chrystie Race Logo printed down both sleeves.
The Chrystie hoodies are soft yet have a nice, durable construction that is built to last. They are pretty true to size but fit a little bit on the larger side. So if you usually fit between a large and a medium in hoodies and you don't like to have a very loose fit, we'd recommend going with the smaller size in this piece. Our model here is 5' 11" and wearing a size Medium.

Press Release
Rovi and Decipher Research Release Results of German Connected TV Study
Reveal Insights Into Users, Usage, and the Impact of Connected Devices on Media Consumption
BERLIN, Aug. 30, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IFA - Driving digital entertainment innovation, Rovi Corporation (Nasdaq:ROVI) and Decipher Research, a leading media strategy and research company, today released the phase one results of a three-part study exploring connected TV device usage and advanced advertising in Germany. The first phase looked at user demographics, device familiarity and usage, and compared the media habits of connected device owners to those of the average German households. The study found connected device owners were super consumers of media content that spend more time online, more money on Pay TV subscription services, and are actively involved in second-screen viewing activities – including a large percentage who have used secondary devices to search online for information related to what they are viewing on TV.
The first phase of the German study was conducted as an online survey involving 500 connected TV device (Samsung TV or Blu-ray® Disc player) owners. The German study is a component of Rovi's comprehensive evaluation and analysis of connected TV device owners and advanced advertising worldwide. Rovi has already collected and released key findings of similar studies conducted in the U.S., Canada, and the United Kingdom. The second and third phases of the German study, expected to be complete in the fourth quarter, will assess interactive advertising awareness and effectiveness on connected devices.
"Connected TV devices are fundamentally changing consumers' media viewing habits and reshaping TV advertising models," said Jeff Siegel, senior vice president, Worldwide Advertising, Rovi Corporation. "As they have for Rovi customers in the US and elsewhere in Europe, our studies will enable German advertising agencies and brand marketers to gain a clearer picture of how connected TV viewing reaches and impacts consumers. Armed with these insights, our customers will be able to utilize these platforms to better engage consumers through high-impact campaigns that drive positive brand interaction and measurable results."
Owner Profile
Connected device owners are:
- primarily males (71%), who are more educated and earn more than the German national average
- high consumers of media content who own a number of video-capable gadgets (2.5x more likely to own a tablet than the national average)
- more likely to have fast broadband connections with average speeds of approximately 27.7Mbps, which is 63% faster than the national average
- more likely to have a Pay TV service in the home; for example, 19% of connected device owners have Sky versus a national average of 9%
- enthusiastic about technology, with 67% indicating they keep up-to-date with the latest technology developments, and 45% stating they are the first of their friends to buy new technology
Connected Device Feature Usage
- 80% of device owners use connected features
- as well as using pre-installed TV apps, connected users download an average of 6 additional apps
- in terms of the context of usage, content is a key driver with 38% of users accessing the connected features to explore content to watch, schedule TV viewing (31%), or to find specific programmes (24%)
- users noted they appreciated the ease of use of connected features and the ability to access apps without using a separate device
- 16% of connected owners indicated they'll spend less time on the internet because they can now access apps on the TV, while 13% indicated connected features will prompt them to watch more TV
Media Consumption
Connected device households:
- spend on average 3.1 hours a day online at home; over one-half hour longer than the average German consumer
- frequently use second screens during TV viewing; respondents that indicated using secondary screen 'all' or 'most of the time' while watching TV accessed the second screen on:
- Tablets (51%)
- Smartphones (49%)
- Laptops (40%)
- have used a second screen to search online for information related to what they are viewing on TV (79%)
- have viewed full-length movies via a second screen (67%) while 66% have viewed video clips
- are highly active consumers of online content with consumption being the greatest for video-related sites. Sites used once a week or more:
- YouTube (60%)
- Sat.1.tv (38%)
- ZDF Mediathek (38%)
- VoxNow (35%)
- Kabeleins.tv (34%)
In Europe, the Rovi Advertising Network enables advertisers to deliver highly scalable, measurable, and interactive campaigns on connected TV devices. The Rovi Ad Network has placements on a range of connected TVs and Blu-ray Disc players including new and in-market models from Samsung, Panasonic, and Toshiba. Used by leading brands including BT, Honda, Channel 4, Ladbrokes, Red Bull Media House, and Twentieth Century Fox, the Rovi Advertising Network allows marketers to reach TV viewers at a point of high receptivity - intersecting their quest to find their next content to view.

Australian producer Hook N Sling has been making club music since 2007. But good lord, he hasn't had a track like this in years. His latest, "Momentum" is a rumbling electro house track that combines the bass of today's dance music with a harder take on melody, making the void for this type of sound in the market clear. Out via DOORN / Spinnin Records today, "Momentum" is a career-defining track for Hook N Sling, reminding us of the prowess he has as a producer.

By Mark Windle, Head of Marketing at OpenCloud
Despite the successful launch of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus, and with the latest iPads unveiled on Thursday evening receiving an underwhelming media response, it is becoming increasingly clear that handsets are no longer a decisive factor in consumers' choice of network.
According to recent research conducted by IDC, smartphone shipments in Europe and the US are slowing and may even have peaked; upgrading to the latest handset model is no longer a priority for consumers.
Consequently, the demand for SIM only contracts has increased as consumers no longer have any great urgency to renew their devices. Reflecting on the iPhone 6 launch, Tim Cook admitted that Apple was impressed by the number of phones bought directly by "end customers" as opposed to those sold through mobile operators.
The potential for operators to leverage exclusive handset deals as differentiators has greatly diminished. The key point is this: relying on other parties to act as your source of differentiation simply isn't an effective strategy.
It's time for operators to break the mould of competing on exclusive handset or content deals, and equip themselves to start competing on the services that they deliver to their customers; innovating in voice and video communication services in order to differentiate effectively.
For too long operators have been dependent on others to provide the differentiation, the X-factor, that might attract subscribers, such as signing up for the latest iPhone or Samsung device, or exclusive access to Spotify or Sky Sports.
The truth of the matter is that the device manufacturers and content providers don't really want to be restricted to a single operator, or select group of operators. An exclusive agreement with an operator, no matter how big, restricts the addressable market.
So when such deals are struck with the operators, they will be expensive and only exist for a relatively short period, after which the device or content provider will be free to offer to all subscribers on all networks.
Exclusive deals deliver ineffective differentiation for operators and it's not what the device and content providers want: it's a lose-lose situation. Operators must look to other areas to gain the competitive edge.
It seems that people can go without the latest device but they can't go without a mobile connection. It's difficult to turn marginal differences in coverage and speed of that connection into a valuable long-term differentiator, however it's not the connection itself that gives subscribers value: it's the things they can do with that connectivity that counts.
It's not just what the phone and its apps can do, but also the telecoms services provided by the operator.
Operators have decades of experience in delivering such services but they've hardly changed since their creation. There is ample scope for creating valuable innovation within dedicated solutions for business customers and more mainstream applications for consumers.
Operators turned to device manufacturers and content providers in attempts to differentiate through exclusive deals, however they have also become heavily dependent on others for service innovation.
Typically, telecom services are defined by the service control points and application servers supplied by network equipment providers, and the pace and direction of innovation is controlled by those vendors.
Consequently, an innovative idea coming out of an operator can be implemented but it will be subject to costs and a timeframe set by the vendor. This stifles innovation and can delay time to market.
Furthermore, just like device manufacturers and content providers, the equipment providers want to sell the same product set to every other operator in the industry.
In short, relying on equipment vendors, handset manufacturers or content providers to provide a differentiating factor is weak because those providers want to deliver the same things to all competing operators.
Instead, operators must create and own the differentiators themselves if they are to become more competitive. In order to do this, operators must acquire the capability to deliver service innovation independently without having to rely on third parties.
To out-perform the competition you need to do something different. To protect your lead you need to do something unique.

The run up:
2015 for me – running wise – was all going to be about the Centurion Grandslam http://www.centurionrunning.com/grand-slam/grand-slam-2015/. Having only intended to enter 1 of their 100 mile races last year (Winter 100), I got in on waiting list to TP100 and NDW100 as well, I thought if I can complete 3 of them in 2014, I might as well go for the Slam and do all in 2015. Then, 'idiot chip' must have kicked in and any race I read about I thought 'oh, that sounds like fun' and my calendar for 2015 was looking very full. 10 (no 11, oops 12) Ultras on calendar for the year with 8 of them 100 miles or over. I sense a lot of lessons will be learnt in 'coping with DNFs', but hey, it's all good learning ;-).
So February, March and April got under way and I ticked off the first few ultras (which I tried to think of as 'halfs' as they were around 50 mile mark each)..
- Thames Trot 50 – muddy slippy slidey nonsense with recently diagnosed very low iron stores and dodgy lungs – but somehow didn't get lost and pulled off a 50 mile pb in 9 hrs 34.
- Green Man Ultra Bristol – 46 ish mile countryside route around Bristol.
- South Downs Way 50 – Woo hoo – the first Centurion race in the calendar for 2015!. Finished in a whisker under 10 hours.
Thames Path 100 training and preparation.
I'll was tempted to leave this section blank as it was non existent ;-). Like most people I have a busy life, with full on job, and a 9 year old deaf son to care for too, so I can't really run loads and just tend to run when my son, Kanye, has clubs/sunday school etc or is with grandparents, and I use running as commuting/travelling option too but probably only clock about 25-35 miles a week on average.
I guess the races I'd already done that year count as prep. too and as added mental preparation I just jotted a few things down to remind me it would all be fine:
- I had run it before in 2014 and had done Thames Trot twice too (Oxford to Henley) and had covered first 100 miles of T184 (before DNF'ing) i.e. Woolwich to Goring, so part of the route was 'very vaguely' familiar i.e. I knew there was a big blue wet fast moving thing that I occasionally would be running along that I had to be careful not to fall into.
- I had complete 3 x 100 milers in 2015, (the middle one of which I'd done on back of bog all mileage as I'd been on crutches for 6 weeks after 1st one and then Kanye had a major op. which meant I had to put running aside for a while too) so this wasn't my first 100 miler and if I can complete North Downs Way on zero training while injured, I reckon I could pull this one off too ;-).
- It's a Centurion Event which I knew meant it would be extremely well organised, full of fun friendly supportive volunteers and fellow runners and would actually just feel like one long party the whole way round so 'Bring it on'. The downside to it being so well run and supported is that I knew I'd slacked off on training and prep.
It was going to be my first 100 miler that I'd attempt without any pacer and I admit that was a bit of an unknown for me. I have extremely poor eyesight – especially at night – and had always relied on pacers to help me see/find the way on the night section. Also there are lots of gates on Thames Path and after 16+ hours on the feet my brain tends to switch off and the simple act of working out how to open the latch on the gate suddenly becomes one of those complex chinese puzzles you get at Xmas. I began to panic a bit about lack of pacer and even contemplated putting in a last minute desperate request to all facebook friends asking if anyone wanted to join me but then I remembered that I'd managed to break 2 pacers at previous races and thought the word had probably got around to the pacers union and my name's probably on a list somewhere so I decided to do it solo without pacer or crew. I knew it would be good training and a confidence builder to have completed one without a pacer. I also realised then there were less logistical issues around pacing and meeting someone at a certain point and what to do if ahead/behind schedule etc. and I could just do my own thing and not worry about it too much.
Kit choices
- Shoes – went for 'untried at this distance' Inov8 290's race ultras. I'd always worn Hokas for 100 milers before but they tend to rip my toenails off and are also worse than chocolate teapots in mud. My experience of the Thames Path is that it 'can' be a claggy quagmire in places and Thames Trot 50 had caused a few DNF's to people with non-responsive shoes. It was a risk though as I'd not gone over 46 miles in Inov8's before and they're not as cushioned/bouncy as Hokas. In retrospect as the course was relatively dry (especially up to mile 85), I'd have been better off in my Hokas but it's good to know that I can manage the distance in the Inov8's as will need them for more 'lumpy' 100 milers later in year. A minor panic a few days before when I thought I'd mislaid the shoes only to find they'd been shoenapped by my other half. Luckily they were returned pre-race and suspect he'd added a bit of the 'Wilkie go faster magic' into them anyway 🙂
- backpack – opted for Ultimate Direction PB race vest v2. My old red v1 pack had seen better days and the bottle holders had broken so treated myself to a new one so that I didn't have to carry separate bottle holder. The only problem was I went for smaller size forgetting that I'd managed to gain 10lbs over the previous year and it was a bit too snug once fuller laden with essential kit (and the 'advisory extra items too) and it rubbed and dug into my back from mile 20 onwards causing a lot of bruising and grazing. But took my mind off the pain in feet I gues 🙂
- food – took babybels which were great, few espresso gels (mainly for night), nakd bars which got annoying, and couple of protein bars too and knew I could rely on well stocked checkpoints. In addition I had seriously deliberately eaten enough extra calories in the couple of weeks run up to the race to know I'd have enough fuel on board to get me to the end even if I couldn't stomach anything during the race
TIme goal: aka playing poker against myself
The biggest thing whirring around and around my brain in the run up to the race – in fact right up until James Elson sent us off at the start was whether to aim for a particular time or not. The last time I had a 'time goal' in mind for a 100 miler was at Thames Path last year when I wanted to see if sub 24 was possible. It was. But it came with a price as I was then on crutches for 6 weeks afterwards and was in considerable pain. It sucked. Life is difficult when you use your feet as transport yet every step is agony. It was six weeks of hell. I also knew that when I had no time goal in mind and just trotted around comfortably at Winter 100 in October 2014, I was absolutely fine at the end (other than damaged feet/toes) and was back in the gym the next day, and ran the Herepath Half Trail event the following weekend. So history told me that going for a time goal would be a risky move. There was also the fact that this wasn't just 'one race', it's part of the Grand Slam that I've entered and in fact I've got GUCR on 23 May as well so the last thing I wanted to do was completely wreck myself just to chase a time goal.
BUT on the other hand, this massive voice in my head reminded me that somewhere I believed I had 22hrs 30 in me. This magic number is the 'male' criteria for Spartathlon entry. A dream race. In fact they'd brough in a female criteria of sub 24 in 100 miler (which I'd already achieved) but politically I didn't think it was right that women had a different criteria for entry when the cut offs at the race are the same, so I'd refused to put my entry in in January 2015 as I'd not met the 22hr 30 criteria that applied to male runners and if I was lucky enough for my name to have been pulled, I wanted to think I deserved my place on the start line… Thames Path 100 was probably my 'llikeliest' chance of getting a 22hr 30… so I was completely torn between 'going for it' and 'being sensible and seeing the bigger picture'. I had absolutely no idea what my body would decide to do on the day.. even on the morning I didn't know.
The 'shall I' 'Shan't I' dilemma whirred around and around in my head on the way up. I sort of decided to be sensible and just take it easy, stay in the middle of the pack but stay well ahead of cut offs etc.. I read Traviss Willcox's advice on Centurion Facebook group which said that those aiming for 24 hours + shouldn't dawdle and should get to Henley (mile 51 ish) as quick as they could. So that sounded like a plan for me.
At registration I saw lots of familiar faces and enjoyed a good catch up chatting nonsense to anyone who would spare me the time of day :-). I love the Centurion races, they just absolutely rock. James' briefing was outside today so I wondered down to the start line and lined up. I got a last minute phone call from Stu. He was going to travel up to Henley to see the quicker runners in the afternoon before volunteering at the finish line. He'd just bagged himself a parkrun PB at Chipping Sodbury parkrun where he's Event Director – I was so proud of him as it's just a week after Hoka Highland Fling :-). I wanted him to be proud of me so decided I'd do my best to get to Henley in time to see him before he set off for Oxford.
Off we go
Dead on 10am the hooter went and we were off. The first check point was 11 miles away and my plan was to just run comfortably until then, I was surprised that I was pulling off 9:30 miles ish quite comfortably and vowed to slow down a bit after the 1st checkpoint. I bumped into Rich Cranswick at CP1 and knew I was going way too fast so tried to rein in a bit.
Mile 11-22 was tough for me. My backpack was quite laden as I'd put in two good headtorches – just to make it easier to swap over when batteries ran out in one as I knew I wouldn't have a pacer around with a light to help me see to change the batteries, but with the smaller pack, and based layers and waterproof trousers and snacks etc., something in the pack was digging badly into my back. I tried taking the pack off and rearranging it but it didn't seem to help much. I sent a text to Stu mentioning my back/pack and he advised to get vaseline at next cpoint – I forgot to do this but then forgot about the chaffing /bruising anyway.
CP2 passed and I knew I was at the difficult bit – I always find mile 22-28 hard. I did this time too. I felt quite hot as had a thick top on as didn't want to waste time changing before night section and was beginning to feel a bit nauseous. In all honesty I think I was a tad hungover. I'd drunk quite a lot of red wine the night before and didn't really get much sleep. I suspected the issue was that I was beginning to sober up.
I also realised I was being slightly antisocial. There were quite a few people around who I'd met before and part of me wanted to chat and catch up but I also knew that with my asthma, running a good speed whilst talking isn't possible so I just keep my mp3 on the whole race and saved chatting really until the checkpoints.
The checkpoints were ace. At every checkpoint there were familiar friendly faces. Some volunteers were going from check point to checkpoint. I saw the legendary Ann Bath at cp1,2 and 3 and she said she was doing cp4 and cp5 too but I think I just missed her at those ones later as was legging it some. It was lovely seeing people I knew on route too. I sent a couple of happy texts to Stu to let him know my progress (good and bad) and he sent nice pep talk ones back which was nice. I deliberately stayed off social media as knew that would slow me down but could see 40 notifications which just shows what amazing support the running community give each other at these special races.
I was beginning to realise too that I was potentially on track for a 22:30 finish if I kept it all together though I knew an awful lot can go wrong later in a race. I'd already been sick at the 26 mile ish mark but at CP5 (about Hurley/Marlow I think at mile 44), I was told by Nina that there was only 5 or 6 ladies that had already gone through. I was gob smacked as that could mean I was 6th or 7th lady… I never place that high. That wasn't important though. What was important to me at that time was that I was on track to see Stu before he left Henley and knew that would give me a mental boost.
It did! When I got to Henley, there he was with my bag so I got a nice hug, help with finding some of Karen Webber's lush pasta for tea and grabbed stuff from my drop bag and was ready to shoot off. Stu also mentioned that Rich Cranswick and Ultra Blakes from Bristol were just at Henley too so #Bristol3 were neck and neck as we arrived close together at the next checkpoint at Reading (mile 58).
Reading was a fun checkpoint with Susie Chan and Paul Ali putting on a good show. I didn't want to linger too long as it was dark now and wanted to get a few more running miles in before I knew the inevitable walking would have to start. I knew I was still on track for sub 22:30 even if I walked. I was conscious I'd taken a lot of ventolin and they were nearly empty and I couldn't risk running without ventolin and as I'd taken so much it wasn't now very effective anyway but I reckoned I could get to whitchurch (mile 67) at least before I'd have to revert to hiking out the rest.
Whitchurch was another lovely checkpoint. I saw Sarah Burns Moorwood there (and also reckon I saw her at Streatley the next cp but may have lost the plot by then). Rich Cranswick had fallen behind. At Streatley I caught up with Blakesy again as he'd been suffering. We both moaned a bit about not remembering races being this tough but I could see he had some running left in his legs and he carried on.
By this stage it was a case of doing 1 checkpoint at a time; Trying not to get too lost; Walking as fast as I could; ignoring the rain; ignoring the fact that I was on my own at night; Every checkpoint I'd drop Stu a quick text and knew he was keeping an eye on me from a distance (albeit a distance 35 miles ish away), it felt nice as it felt like I was running in a warm protective bubble. I just keep listening to music and hiking on as fast as I could, stopping at cpoints for drinks, coke, grab of some fruit and getting out as quick as I could after quick chat to volunteers and runners I met at checkpoints.
Things got tough just after Clifton Hampden which was at about mile 85, I was trying to work out in my head if I was still on for sub 22hr 30 — the magic Spartathlon qualifying time- and I was…. but then I also worked out that if I kept up a cracking walking speed – which I knew would be hard as it was raining hard and trails were slippery – I might just pull of a sub 22 hours… and this became my new stupid mission! 21 hours 'something' was suddenly what I wanted. I had serious ideas above my station.
At mile 88 something 'bad' happened to my left foot. I could feel an enormous blister the whole size of the ball of my foot swell up and every step was absolute agony. it was pissing down with rain and I didn't want to try to sit in the mud to change socks as I knew that would mean I'd miss my 21 hours something target and might even waste too much time and miss my sub 22 :30 target so I gritted it out. I grabbed a tree branch and used it as a crutch and tried limping pirate style down the path thinking.. ok 11 miles to go… It didn't take long to realise this wasn't going to work. I cussed my decision the day before not to bring my poles as that would really have helped. But I took a deep breath and just carried on and tried to self hypnotise to convince myself that the pain in the foot didn't belong to my foot etc… it vaguely worked and I was able to get back into my 15 min mile walking pace and ditch the tree trunk.
Eventually I reached Abingdon and met Donna Bullock who mentioned I was 4th lady. Gulp. 4th lady… eek.. suddenly I was on 2 missions.. one was to stay 4th lady and the other was to get 21 hours something.. so I grabbed a drink and hobbled off. I look behind and swore I saw 10 ladies on my tail…
I text Stu to say I was where I was.. and kept on. the next 9 miles were just trying to keep up a sub 15 min mile walking pace. I was wrecked. My foot was absolute agony. I was being stupid I knew but suddenly 21 something rather than just over 22 hours became important to me.. numbers and maths were whirring around in my brain.. what if my garmin was wrong and it was a bit further than I thought? I didn't dare stop at last cp where Ian Walker was standing outside. I knew I had enough coke in my bottle to fuel me to the end so I asked if I could just go straight on and he took my number, shouted it to the person recording it and I carried on with one mission in mind. Just in case it was slightly further than I thought I walked like I was applying for a care in the community grant… 13 min miling a couple of miles despite the muddy trails. There was no way I could run as I could barely stand putting weight on my left foot… then finally I knew it was couple of mile to go. I really wanted to see Stu at the finish line but didn't have time to text so called instead as that would be quicker so let him know and I shot off… Kept looking at my watch hoping that I'd just make the sub 22… I could see the Centurion banner and knew I would then be on the finishing staight. I turned the corner and wanted to run but knew I couldn't. I felt silly not being able to and tried to show I wasn't being lazy by attempting to 'hop quickly' instead on my right foot but gave that up and just walked to the end.
21 hours 56 mins. 4th Lady, 43rd out of 262 starters and a hug that was definitely worth running 100 miles for.
I am really surprised that I finished so strongly. Having Stu's support by text during the day, seeing him at half way point and knowing he was there at the end did make a huge difference I feel and I know others in the past have said what a difference having family/loved ones there makes and I'd not appreciated it until then. It was risky 'going for it' though and I've paid the price on my left foot and will learn to remember my place 'in the middle or towards the back of the pack' before the next event I'm sure 😉

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.

GNFNR Album of the Week #3: Heaven Up Here
Dazey posted a topic in Reckless LifeNot sure how much this will be to anybody's taste here but it's an album I love called Heaven Up Here from Echo and the Bunnymen released in 1981. Kind of a stripped down post punk vibe and a really cool record IMO though I guess that's up to people to decide for themselves. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaven_Up_Here

GNFNR Album of the Week #4: Jeremy Enigk - Return of the Frog Queen I think the idea of the "album" is an outdated concept. Almost every album ever has a few great tracks, a few that are ok, and some that are obvious filler. In this day and age of downloads and customizable playlists, there's no reason for the traditional album to not go extinct. So finding one you dig all the way through is a rarity. One of my favorite albums of all time is "Return of the Frog Queen" by Jeremy Enigk. He's the lead singer of Sunny Day Real Estate and when that band imploded in the mid 90s he released his first solo effort (backed by a 21 piece orchestra) in 1996 to very little fanfare. At the time I'd never heard of the guy. I only heard the album cause a girlfriend in college loved it. I hated this guy on first listen. I disliked his crazy, nasally, high-pitched yet gravelly voice. I thought he was trying to be like Perry Ferrell but failing. But one night in her apartment while she slept, I was playing Dr. Mario on an old NES and had the album on repeat and by the 3rd or 4th song I realized I was really into it and I just kept it going and going and going. Suddenly, I was in love. I can't get enough of the crescendos and rises and falls and the fragility/strength of his vocals. The first track "Abegail Anne" (best song on the album) builds to its soaring climax so brilliantly. I also love the cathartic WAIL at the end of all the build-up on "Shade and the Black Hat". This record is the first one that popped in my head when this album of the week thing was suggested cause it's probably right up there with Tool's "Aenima" as an album I never ever get tired of listening to straight through, even after thousands of listens. On a drive cross-country I listened to it on repeat so many times I lost count. The ONE track I don't care for as much as the others is "Carnival' cause the tone and distorted vocals don't really fit…other than that one track I think the rest is a masterpiece. Hey, your mileage may vary, but at least give it a listen straight through. It's only a half hour long so it's not like a huge commitment…it's been described as "Beatles-esque" and he is considered the godfather of "emo." I don't know about all that, but I just fucking love it. It's beautiful, sad, haunting, uplifting all at the same time. I hope you dig it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_of_the_Frog_Queen 1. Abegail Anne 2. Return of the Frog Queen 3. Lewis Hollow 4. Lizard 5. Carnival 6. Call Me Steam 7. Explain 8. Shade and the Black Hat 9. Fallen Heart

This is a fun Rock album. It's not going to change your life, but I think you will enjoy repeated listens. It's fun, catchy with great pop hooks and well-recorded and mixed electric guitar. If Pink Floyd recorded a new album with Syd Barrett in 2015, it might sound something like this. The full album is on Spotify: http://open.spotify.com/album/0nSzBICzQHea8grwfqa5Gb Track listing A few Official videos:
This is copied from a post I made a while ago on mygnr, but it fits with this just fine: You probably know I'm Shipping Up To Boston and possibly a few other Dropkick songs here and there, and maybe even are familiar with The Warrior's Code or The Meanest of Times, but The Gang's All Here shows Dropkick at what I believe was their best as they began their transition from pretty much a pure punk band to more of a Celtic-rock-with-punk-mixed-in band in 1999. Their second overall album and first release with current lead singer Al Barr, the album begins with the great one-two punch of Blood and Whiskey and Pipebomb on Lansdowne and hardly lets up until the title track closes things out around 45 minutes later. If you've been looking to give Dropkick more of a shot beyond the hits, this is a great place to start. Chosen mainly for the fact that I'm seeing them tonight and tomorrow in Boston as a part of their St. Paddy's day run, which are always fantastic shows. Apparently the full thing isn't on YouTube. Should be on Spotify but keep an eye on the unmoderated thread later for other ways to listen.

GNFNR Album of the Week 23: Beirut - No No No
John Bonham posted a topic in Reckless LifeBeirut's new album No No No, is a tasty little morsel of European-inspired indie-pop music. Nine 3-minute songs that are breezy, light and feature trumpets, ukelele, keyboards and accordian. The lead singer has a ghostly, David Byrne-style delivery, and the songs are both complex and very simple at the same time. The lyrics are sad and intospective, while the accompanying music is light and pleasant. It's a short album, so give it a spin (on Spotify?) if you have a chance.
GNFNR Album of the Week #17: Darkside - Psychic
Broskirose posted a topic in Reckless LifeGNFNR Album of the Week #17: Darkside - Psychic I decided to listen to this album for the first time in a while and figured I'd bring back album of the week if you want to listen to it too. It's on Spotify. Torrents seem easy to find. Tracklisting: 1. Golden Arrow 2. Sitra 3. Heart 4. Paper Trails 5. The Only Shrine I've Seen 6. Freak, Go Home 7. Greek Light 8. Metatron #nowplaying
Album of the week #14: Massive Attack - Mezzanine
Dazey posted a topic in Reckless LifeAn album I used to use as my go to for a good 3am comedown after a heavy session. Dark room with a few beers and some decent headphones required. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mezzanine_(album) http://youtube.com/watch?v=/24CgqhCQ8q8
If I were to describe the record in one word it would be "originality". I would prefer not to talk too much about the album because I believe it will speak to you accurately enough while listening to it. The album, as a whole is an extremely unique symbolic work. It's one of the deepest, most atmospheric stuff I've ever listened to - lyrically as well as musically. You might have to be in the right mood for it though but if you are, and of course, if you're into this kind of music, it will hit you, without doubt. Tracklisting: 1. Prologue 2. Kettering 3. Sylvia 4. Atrophy 5. Bear 6. Thirteen 7. Two 8. Shiva 9. Wake 10. Epilogue + All of the songs are given alternate titles, they read as follows: 1. Prologue, or, Hospice 2. Kettering, or, Bedside Manner 3. Sylvia, or, Sliding Curtains Shining Children's Heads 4. Atrophy, or, Rings Ill-Fitting 5. Bear, or, Children Become Their Parents Become Their Children 6. Thirteen, or, Sylvia Speaks 7. Two, or, I Would Have Saved Her If I Could 8. Shiva, or, Portacaths Switched 9. Wake, or, Letting People In 10. Epilogue, or, Sylvia Alive In Nightmares
GNFNR Album of the Week #19: Mick Flannery - White Lies
Conor posted a topic in Reckless LifeThis week's album comes in the form of Irish singer-songerwriter Mick Flannery's second effort, White Lies. Being just 24 when released, it highlights his place as one of the most promising folk acts around. The album is not perfect, and while may come across too somber for some, it balances Damien Rice-esque folk songs like the opener Safety Rope and Goodbye, with more upbeat and rock-based tracks such as Tomorrow's Paper, Wish You Well and What Do You See. These are the five songs I'd highlight for you to check out if you don't have the time for the whole album. Mick's released two more albums since this, and are well worth checking out if you enjoy what you hear. I've attached a link below that features the entire album on a YouTube playlist. Complete Album (YouTube Playlist) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3t9hqY5kSI&list=PL4BC5A6C14DC1EE09 Tracklisting: 1. Safety Rope 2. California 3. Tomorrow's Paper 4. Wish You Well 5. Goodbye 6. Near Or Far 7. Wait Here 8. What Do You See 9. Smiling Girl 10. Arise Now 11. Do Me Right
Alright alright.. Here it comes: The Parlor Mob - And You Were A Crow The New Jersey bands debut record I listen to this album, all the time still. to me it is a fantastic mix of old and new, its a modern underrated and underappreciated classic in my opinion. I feel that this band has some of the same quality that Axl and GNR had, when people heard his voice, the lyrics and the way they played. There are some fantastic tracks on it: http://youtube.com/watch?v=/kXmYDl8GB5Y?list=PLJXT8eK41nEEFzgtJ36UfoMj0lrE0987I They have made 3 albums: And You Were A Crow, Dogs and Cry Wolf There are some class songs on all of them !!

GNFNR Album of the Week #20: Nightingale- Retribution
bran posted a topic in Reckless Lifeso this weeks album is brought to you by dan swano and his band nightingale. to those who dont know dan swano is a legend in heavy metal music who pioneered death metal and more directly progressive death metal with his band edge of sanity and his lone solo album moontower and was a major influence on bands like opeth and katatonia. dan swano is also known for being a very talented multi instrumentalist who started a drummer but then self taught himself to play guitar. he is a lefty who doesnt invert the strings when he plays. he also plays keyboard, piano, bass, cello, saxaphone. also dan is the anti axl rose he is in a million projects, releases a lot of music and when not making and releasing music, he is a well known music producer and also mixes albums and he worked in a record store part time until a year or so ago. so now we bring you to his band nightingale which is a more rock style(no harsh vocals at all) this is the bands first output in 7 years and to me it could be there best album. tracklist 1. on stolen wings 2. lucifers lament 3. chasing the storm away 4. warriors of the dawn 5. forevermore 6. divided i fall 7. the voyage of endurance 8. 27 9. the maze 10. echoes of a dream http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hd_ohSnxOps http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sn-DTtNcePo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsaGDwLF0ao
Album Of The Week #12: Roger Waters - Amused To Death
russtcb posted a topic in Reckless LifeI had a Prince album and an album by The Lone Bellow in the chamber, but chose to go with this as my pick: (Sorry, that's the best full album link I could find) This is probably my favorite album of all time and I believe it's better than anything he did with Pink Floyd. Yes, that includes The Wall and Dark Side of the Moon. As with anything Waters related, it's very heavy handed in that it's a concept album. It's a LOT to take at first lyrically, but I think most people can just dig in to the music and be happy. I'm eager for others to share their thoughts after hearing it again or for the very first time.
AlbumOfTheWeek#16 Tame Impala - Lonerism
John Bonham posted a topic in Reckless Lifehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zP0b3a2JkgI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zP0b3a2JkgIThis album f'n rocks. It's awesome. It's from 2012 and it's already a classic. Lonerism is the second album by Australian psychedelic rock band Tame Impala, released in 2012. I think you will all like it. If you do, check out some of the band's other records, they are all good/god.
Album of the Week #?: Will Butler - Policy
magisme posted a topic in Reckless LifeFrom Arcade Fire member Will Butler (little brother to lead singer Win Butler) comes this excellent and eclectic little album. It's short and it's a lot of fun. I hope you guys like it. Don't be turned off if you don't like Arcade Fire - although why wouldn't you like Arcade Fire? - because it sounds nothing like them. There's maybe one song that sounds kind of Arcade Fire-ish. It's mostly a take on a bunch of different styles Will is into, so it's derivative for sure, but he puts enough of his own spin on it to make it really interesting. Enjoy. I might have to post one song at a time. 1. "Take My Side" 2. "Anna" 3. "Finish What I Started" 4. "Son of God" 5. "Something's Coming" 6. "What I Want" 7. "Sing to Me" 8. "Witness"
Album Of The Week #13: Tim Maia - Racional
ManetsBR posted a topic in Reckless LifeHey guys (: My suggestion is something different: it's not rock, and it's mostly not in english (some songs are). But please, please, give it a try. I doubt you'll regret it. It's a 1974 concept brazilian soul/funk album from one of the greatest and craziest artists to ever walk on Earth: Tim Maia. It's called Racional, and it's by far his best work. If you're tired of the same old stuff, maybe this will be good for you. Maia was elected by Rolling Stone the best brazilian singer of all times, and he is definetly one of my favourite artists. Maia was an absolute junkie and control freak who got to the point of pointing a gun to his bandmate's heads. He would record and then destroy albums with James Brown's band just to piss of the record company. On a random day he got to know the Rational Culture, some freak Scientologyish cult in Brazil that said, basically, that we were about to enter the Rational phase of our universe, and that the aliens would come from the sky to save us. But they would only save the ones that did give any attention to carnal pleasures, such as drugs, money and fame. The cult became his life. And this was in the peek of his fame. From out of nowhere he stopped doing drugs and abstained himself from his luxury life. He started doing concerts only to promote the cult book, Universe In Desenchantement. Then he recorded the double album: Racional. As he wasn't doing any drugs and was, for the first time in his life, healthy, his amazing voice was in top form. And the instrumental is incredible too. It's his best work, and the record company even acknowledged it as his masterpiece, but they refused to promote as it talked only about this nonsense cult. A few copies were released, though, and it's now one of the most rare vynils in the world. It's his only album that's not on Spotify. A few years later he got into a fight with the cult leader and left it, going back to his old self, regaining the well deserved success. If I'm not mistaken his first song after the rational phase was called "Sossego (E Um Quilo do Bom)" [in english, "Chill (And A Pound Of The Good One)"], which Robin Finck played onstage on Axl's concert at Rock in Rio III. Maia didn't talk about Racional, hated the album, didn't play it's song live and would tell anyone that asked that the cult was pure bullshit. Maia had a heart attack on stage during a concert the late 90s and died a few days later. It was very sad, he was a beloved artist in Brazil. Anyway, it's one of my favourite albums of all time, and in case anyone's interested, a great stoner album. Hope you guys like it as much as I do. Cheers!
