I love airports. Sure, there are the bored business travelers, the loud Americans who think everybody else desperately wants to hear every bit of their end of a mobile phone conversation, and there's often plenty of bad parenting on display, if you're not in Scandinavia. But for the most part, particularly in relatively poor countries like the United States, you've got a whole lot of people who are going somewhere, and excited to be doing it. Lots of folks who rarely fly, because they can't usually afford it, and when they do it, they're happy. Or they're sad to be leaving friends or family who they don't get to see often enough, and either way, the emotions are in the air, the atmosphere is charged with kinetic energy.
Being back at Logan Airport in Boston is especially exciting for me. Boston, the city I lived in as a young adult for more years than any other, where I cut my teeth as a street performer for the most part, where every block, and every stop on the MBTA contains memories. And it's a particularly exciting place to be because it is my point of embarkation for the journey home to Portland, Oregon, where I'll get to see my little family again, for the first time in two months.
Being at an airport for me usually means I'm in between one leg of a tour and another, which is indeed the case today. I flew from Iceland to Boston nine days ago, when the US government was well into the first week of its shutdown, and today I'm flying away from Boston, on the third week of shutdown, the day before we get to find out whether the federal government will default on its multi-trillion-dollar debt for the first time in over a century.
It was only nine days, with gigs in two US states and two Canadian provinces, but the east coast leg of my tour around the world has been full of the fascinating diversity of the human experience, and seems well worth recounting a bit.
When I arrived at Logan Airport nine days ago, I waited in the long line at Immigration, just ahead of an older man who took interest in the fact that I had a guitar over my shoulder, and asked me about what I had been doing. I told him I had been playing gigs around the world, and he told me about his life raising kids and working in middle management for various corporations, all of which at some point downsized their workforce and laid him off after a few years. But his wife still had a job, so he seemed to be doing OK, as he was just returning from some kind of Holy Land tour, where he had visited places of significance to Catholics such as the Vatican and what he called Israel, by which he meant the occupied West Bank. He had been to the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem without noticing the Apartheid Wall. What did he think of the new pope, I wondered? John Paul II was his favorite, he said. John Paul was Polish, and so was he. (By which he meant Polish-American.)
I was glad to make it through that line. The Immigration guy was impressed at the number of countries I had visited, which I had obediently written down on the landing card. What were you doing in all those countries? A concert tour. How was it? Good, except for not being allowed into New Zealand. What happened? I guess I should have gotten that work permit before I left the US. Ah, he replied, Immigration can be sticklers about that sort of thing. Yes. Especially US Immigration, I wanted to say, but didn't. So many friends from so many countries who can't even enter the US on a tourist visa because of having some kind of criminal record, such as things like marijuana possession charges from two decades ago.
The rental car center was packed with people. Most of the companies had long lines of folks waiting to rent their cars. The company I had a reservation on had no line for some reason, even though it was one of the cheapest. The woman behind the counter did what they always do in the US – she tried to convince me that the small car I had reserved was really too small, and wouldn't I be more comfortable in a bigger car, for an extra $5 a day? No, I actually meant to reserve that car, thanks! I don't say that. I'm much more polite than that. The woman who has just stepped up to the counter, one foot away from me is breathing loudly, coughing every thirty seconds or so, without covering. She's old, she has very badly dyed black hair, and she's clearly mentally ill.
"They say you've got the last car," she says to the woman behind the counter.
"I can help you when I'm done with this gentleman," the woman responds, clearly annoyed, clearly tired of dealing with this crotchety old germ-spreading Bostonian.
She said I'd have a little Fiat, but the car in that space was a Chevy Malibu, which was exciting to me for no reason other than the fact that I knew the trunk would be big enough that I could fit both my suitcases and my guitar in it. That's always nice for not getting the car broken into. This has happened five times so far in my touring career (three times in the US, twice in Europe), but it's not happening this time, with this spacious car.
The young woman who checks me out of the parking lot looks about 16, and seems totally out of place in that smelly airport parking garage. She's the most elegant, angelically beautiful Latin American woman I've ever seen. She says only a few words, but the way she speaks immediately communicates an incisive wit, and an abundance of intelligence. Probably one of Boston's 250,000 college students. We check the car for scratches together. I sign on the dotted line, while she holds the paper on the hood of the car for me, unbearably close.
"Do you need anything else?"
Why is she asking me that? What else might I need? Directions to get out of the parking garage? Of course it's just a polite, meaningless question, to which I'm expected to answer, "no thanks." Which is what I say. While every pheromone-drenched cell in my body is screaming at my brain to answer, "your phone number," but I don't, and never would, for which the angel in the parking garage is probably glad.
It's after 8 pm by the time I get out of there, and my body feels like it's 2 am, and definitely past bedtime. Jet lag. I have for some reason decided I'd spend the night at my dad's place in Connecticut, a three-hour drive from the airport. I meet a friend in Wellesley for coffee at JP Licks. Sufficiently buzzed on caffeine, I continue on down the highway, enjoying the unexpected fact that my car has satellite radio built in. Fifty more Syrian refugees dead in Mediterranean, says the BBC.
After a too-short visit with my father and stepmother, I'm off the next day to Long Island, for the first of seven gigs on the east coast.
My father is a composer, and taught composition and other music-related courses at Long Island University for over three decades. For the small community of people who are into what they call "concert music," what they used to call "avant garde," "12-tonal," or "microtonal" music, especially on Long Island, Rovics is a familiar name. But there is very little crossover between the Left or the folk music scene and the world of "concert music," so I'm always pleasantly surprised when someone at a show knows one of my parents. The opening act consists of a fantastic duo – a married couple, I believe. The man playing the piano and singing along with his wife, who is clearly a trained opera singer, and pulls of these political art songs that the man wrote with another man who's sitting in the front row, hunched over because of some kind of health problem like the one my grandmother used to have. The woman is definitely a senior citizen, though a well-preserved one, and her voice is very much still intact. She pulls off these very funny songs, very reminiscent of Tom Lehrer's stuff, with acrobatic, vocal perfection, which match the skilled delivery of the piano part that her husband provides.
The gig is in a church. Which in North America is a common thing, and doesn't mean there's anything religious about the event. It's sponsored by Veterans for Peace, which is a secular organization. But at this church event, the minister is involved, and he is clearly a revered figure among the people gathered here. He's the second opening act. Banjo in hand, he proceeds to tell us all about the plane wreck in California about which Woody Guthrie wrote the song "Deportees." He describes the song in detail before singing it, which is usually a bad idea, but then I wonder if he's doing that specifically for the benefit of the large Latin American presence in the room. It's a free event, and I get the impression that many of his flock who are there along with the Vets for Peace contingent are recently-arrived migrants who may not speak very good English yet. Sure enough, his second song is one by Daniel Viglietti, which he introduces as a song by Victor Jara. (Victor Jara sang it, but he didn't write it. I find out later that the minister was aware of this, but presumably didn't feel it was worth mentioning. As a songwriter this rubs me the wrong way, but it shouldn't.)
The Vets for Peace crowd is almost entirely of my parents generation. One of many gigs I've done over the years where I'm the youngest person in the room. I don't mind at all. I love playing for this generation of activists. Ten years ago, for the most part, the 1960's generation didn't seem old yet. They still seemed solidly in the camp that you would refer to as middle aged. But ten years is a long time, and now this generation is, for the most part, old. Of course there are the few of that generation of leftwing New Yorkers who look after their bodies and stay younger. There are a couple like that at the church. But for the most part, the New York diet of bagels, pizza, coffee and cigarettes that most of these good people grew up on has not been kind to them, and most of them are moving around the room with a pronounced awkwardness of gait, though most of them also seem to have successfully held on to the youthful optimism and colorful forms of dress which is still a hallmark of that generation.
Probably half the crowd there had never heard my music before, and their reaction to it was humbling, and at this point fairly predictable. People look for new music when they're young, for the most part. When they're older, it's more the kind of thing that has to come to them. When these people were young the FM airwaves were independently owned, and filled with the unmistakably leftwing sounds of the Sixties. Unbeknownst to most members of that generation, the leftwing music they loved existed long before the Sixties, and continued to be created afterwards, but there was only that brief period when they were young when this kind of music got on the radio much, so for them it basically disappeared. Then, for these people here in this room, I came along. Never mind all my contemporaries – Jim Page, Robb Johnson, Ryan Harvey, Ani DiFranco, Tom Morello, Grace Petrie – they've never run across those folks. They've never even heard of Rage Against the Machine. Since Phil Ochs died, the next one like that they came across, randomly enough, was me, and they're impressed.
They buy gobs of CDs, we pose for lots of photographs, and old women walking with the help of canes have that unmistakable glitter in their eyes that reminds me of why it's such a privilege to be a musician. I remember my friend Sara Stinus, who was a bit older than the Sixties generation, and has since died. She was the best-looking seventy-year-old anywhere. She didn't live in New York, she lived in Copenhagen, and rode a bicycle. In front of her husband, Erik, at the end of every show of mine they'd come to, she'd always say, "If I were younger, I'd take you home with me." There was no question that she was not just talking about cooking me dinner. I'd smile and hug her lingeringly, not mentioning, for the benefit of Erik, that I'd happily have gone home with her at any age. But she died before he did, so that never happened.
The next day was the longest drive of the east coast tour, from one end of New York state to the other, up to the post-industrial city of Rochester. The gig is at the Squirrel Community Center, a neat place I've played at twice before. I walk in and I'm surprised to see a man I haven't seen in almost three decades, since we were both students at Earlham College in Indiana. He looks the same, except with grey hair, and I recognize him immediately.
When I knew him he was a good-natured, pot-smoking, guitar-playing hippie from Philedelphia. Since I last saw him he got mixed up with the mafia and had to leave Philadelphia on pain of death. He thought he should get far away from Philadelphia. Being Jewish, he figured he'd go to Israel. No Italian mafia there, just the Russian one, and that's different, at least for his purposes.
He hadn't really given it enough thought, and found himself an Israeli citizen under the age of thirty, and obligated to do military service. Soon he was driving around in a military vehicle, participating in the Israeli occupation of southern Lebanon, translating between English, Hebrew and Arabic for military officers and foreign visitors. A Scud missile landed in his Jeep and messed up his knee, but otherwise he weathered that one OK. The whole time he was there he wondered what the heck he was doing there, and felt nothing but sympathy for the Lebanese and the Palestinians. He missed a bus once because he had taken a walk with a friend to smoke a joint. They watched the bus leave the station, and then it blew up. Saved by a joint. After a couple more occasions like that he thought he'd move back to the US. Time had passed, and I guess the mafia wasn't interested in pursuing their vendetta anymore. He couldn't stick around for the gig because he had to go to an AA meeting, but it was good to see him.
There was an array of punks and hippies, young and old, at the Squirrel. In towns like Rochester, where the Left is small, people hang out together. There were a bunch of Sixties generation folks with white hair and white beards. There were folks from Rochester Indymedia, one of the few Indymedia centers still active, including one member who was, like me, a friend of the late Brad Will. I met friends of Brad's on this tour in Tokyo, Freiburg and Rochester. The guy got around. There were young punk rockers who really came alive for "I'm A Better Anarchist Than You," singing along with gusto. Someone wrote a fun review of the show on his blog.
One man there told me that there was an active anti-eviction movement in Rochester. I hadn't heard about it. I had heard about a police raid on a foreclosed, squatted house that was especially brutal, and made national news to some extent. I hadn't heard that since that raid, the police had backed off a bit. Now, when activists chained their necks to foreclosed houses to protect the former owners from being evicted by the police, the police back off, every time. Solidarity works, sometimes. There I am in Rochester, wishing the great, progressive city of Portland had a police force like that. It doesn't.
The next day was one of the two days I didn't have a gig. I had dinner with a couple of friends in Buffalo. Activists, as usual, and when they moved to Buffalo from Vermont some years before, they were "welcomed" by a whole bunch of undercover police officers in unmarked cars, staking out their apartment, letting them know that the state was aware of their movements. On the day they moved in, someone smashed the windows of five cars in front of their building. A message of sorts. Or a coincidence, if you believe in coincidence theory.
After dinner I headed to the Canadian border. I wanted to cross a day early, in case I had any problems. As always, I was sent in for further questioning. The young woman behind the counter looked up my long record of trouble with the Canadian border. She looked completely unimpressed. I told her about the three gigs I had in Canada, and how they all fell under the exemption because each of them were rented for the occasion, and so didn't require a work permit. She was unconvinced. I showed her the part of the law which gave me the exemption, which my friend Walter, an immigration lawyer in Montreal, had just sent me to make sure I had it handy. She was still unconvinced.
"My friend Walter is an immigration lawyer, and I have his cell phone number right here," I said, trying to be helpful in case there was some legal clarification needed. She took offense at this.
"He could be anybody," she said. Actually I'm sure there's a way for her to look up who the legitimate lawyers are, but I didn't say that.
"Whether you get into Canada or not is up to me, nobody else," she explained, clearly peeved that I may somehow have implied that there was anybody else with any kind of authority to decide my fate, other than her.
"Do you have a manifest?"
"I don't have anything printed out, but you can see on my website where I'm playing."
"But I can't see on your website whether these are venues that fall under the exemption. You need to provide a printed explanation about each venue, their operating hours, and other pertinent information." It sounded very much like she was getting ready to turn me away until I came back with printed information.
"So if I had this information in print, with the record of being turned away from the border that you're looking at on your computer there, you would just believe me?"
"No, I'd still have to confirm that the information you provided me with is true," she replied. She clearly had just caught herself in this contradiction, and didn't need me to rub it in. I didn't. She looked up each of the venues, confirmed to her satisfaction that they all fell under the exemption, and told me I was free to go. Into Canada, that is, though she didn't say that.
The gig in Toronto was reminiscent of the gig in Long Island, in that most of the audience were leftwing Jews of a certain generation, except at this gig there was probably a higher proportion of Jews relative to Goyim, since it was a leftwing Jewish cultural center where the gig was taking place. As in Long Island, they bought gobs of CDs, and were wildly appreciative of the whole evening. Several of them were organizing a protest against the prime minister, who was scheduled to receive an award from the Jewish National Fund, a rightwing Zionist organization despised by probably everyone in the room. These were people of a generation who viscerally remembered anti-Semitism as it was practiced daily in North America, but these kinds of formative experiences just made these people despise the racism of the anti-Palestinian Jewish National Fund even more, sensibly enough. I love these people. They would drive the Antideutsch crazy if the Antideutsch ever met them, my friend Kate pointed out, when I told her about the folks at the Winchevsky Center, as Kate was traveling around Germany doing screenings of her documentary.
Next day, Canada's capital city, Ottawa. Another gig in a church. The audience here was just as leftwing as the last several audiences, but this time half of those in attendance were from Syria. It was an event sponsored jointly by a church-based group of leftwing Syrians opposed to US intervention in their war-torn country, along with the Communist Party of Canada, in the form of their Cuba solidarity group. I focused my set on songs related to refugees, and US imperialism. I've written three or four songs related to Syria, one of which is a love song. To my surprise, many of the Syrians had evidently heard that song already, and there in the church I had a group of Syrian women in the front row singing along to the chorus of "Syrian Princess" beautifully.
A friend from Victoria had taken a road trip across Canada to visit her parents in Ottawa, and there she was at the gig. She was the one person in the room for whom the posters worked. Posters only work for artists with name recognition. Otherwise you're much better off with word of mouth or other forms of more direct promotion, when trying to promote a relatively unknown artist. But the poster worked for her, even though she had only just seen it that day, and it was on the ground, having presumably been ripped down by someone who didn't like one or both of the sponsoring organizations. (Or by someone who didn't like me, which seems less likely. You don't have to know anyone from the Communist Party of Canada to know you don't like them, if you're that sort of person...) I met Anne and her 2-year-old son for breakfast the next morning. He and I really hit it off, and he had a good time riding on my shoulders, after he eventually figured out that I did not intend to drop him, even if he stuck is fingers in my ears and insisted on licking my inexplicably furry arms.
I had been in touch with a student activist from Montreal for a couple months before my arrival there at L'Artere. But while in previous years the average age of the folks in attendance in Montreal might have been around my age or a bit older, this time it was a different story. The older folks were there, but so were a whole bunch of young Francophone student activists. The student movement in Quebec had risen to incredible heights, with a demonstration happening more than once a day for months on end. For quite some time they had a demo on the 22nd of each month which usually had over a hundred thousand people at it. A real mass movement, against a rise in tuition fees for the university students of Quebec. Despite facing lots of police brutality, the movement persevered, grew, and won.
For the folks I was hanging out with there in Montreal before and after the show, the victory was bittersweet. The movement had been so big, and such a source of optimism, that many people involved thought it would be good to take advantage of that momentum and go further. The movement won in the sense that the planned tuition increases were canceled by the provincial government. But for these folks, they thought it would be a good idea to expand the fight to cancel tuition fees altogether, and other such lofty goals, but the mass of students and others participating in their struggle didn't think so, apparently. There are still regular demonstrations, but they're much smaller, and much more being controlled, kettled and mass-arrested by the police, who have also taken to issuing huge fines to protesters for things like ashing their cigarettes on the street (not even for throwing a cigarette butt on the ground, but for the ash from the end of the cigarette hitting the pavement!).
At the end of my show, another young woman who I hadn't met yet asked me, with a bit of an accusatory tone to her voice: "Why didn't you sing 'We Are Everywhere'?"
I didn't quite know what to say. I bumbled through some kind of response, like I've written a lot of songs and there's not time to do all of them.
"During the student movement here," she explained, "'We Are Everywhere' was a song we all listened to when we were feeling down, to give us some hope."
I had been admiring the massive Quebec student movement from afar, unable to make it to Quebec while it was happening, having no idea that any of these young Quebecers were fans of my music. Mine is a fun job in the worst of times, but these are the moments that make it feel entirely worthwhile.
If you go to Canada on business from the US, you have to pay $10.75 upon return. I was sent into the Immigration and Customs building, paid my $10.75, and drove through Vermont, from north to south, until I reached Massachusetts. No gigs in Vermont, but so many memories along the way. Singing at an antiwar protest in Burlington soon after 9/11 that Ward Churchill spoke at. Singing at a union event that Bernie Sanders spoke at. Hanging out there with Jim Page and the late, great author and activist, John Ross. Montpelier, and memories of Graciela, and giant puppets, my first pair of snow shoes, and nearby Plainfield, where the Institute for Social Ecology used to exist.
In Florence, Massachusetts the gig was a fundraiser for Valley Free Radio, and probably half the people in attendance were enthusiastic radio programmers at the station. The venue was Cafe Evolution, the latest business venture of Star Drooker, a very talented artist himself, and brother to a much more well-known artist, Eric Drooker. More memories of playing at Star's old cafe in Northampton, and of my brief stint living in western Mass, next to a sheep farm in the mid-90's.
A drive across the state of Massachusetts, back to Boston. I get to Copley Square a few hours before the gig, and walk around Boston Commons, near where I used to busk for a living at the Park Street T twenty years ago. I'm listening with my headphones to a podcast of This American Life, about Harper High School in Chicago, where something like 29 students got shot the year before, though this kind of thing happening at a predominantly Black high school in America hardly ever makes the news. The podcast was spell-bindingly good, as that show often is, but this one was especially so.
As I listen to the stories of death from Chicago, I happen to walk past a church near the place where the Boston Marathon bombings took place. The iron fence surrounding the church is festooned with ribbons of cloth, each one with some kind of Christian or pagan or other prayer for peace on it.
The gig in Copley is at the Community Church of Boston. Always hard to get a crowd there for some reason. Nobody lives around there, other than rich people. It's very accessible by mass transit, but that doesn't seem to help. I lived in Boston for many years, and the crowd of 15 people or so seems to be entirely from my email list, despite the good efforts made by the sponsor of the gig. There's my sister, her boyfriend, and several mutual friends of ours, and a random selection of fans from the Occupy movement and Veterans for Peace, or both. There's Chuck Rosina, radio programmer and sound engineer, who made a nice live recording of the whole show, as he often does.
The guitar strap I had been using since last spring was one I borrowed from a squatter in Copenhagen, and forgot to return to him. I lost it in Iceland, just before I got to Boston, and I had been doing all my gigs since then sitting on a stool, rather than standing, since I lacked a guitar strap and kept on forgetting to buy one. Dean Stevens, the activist there at the church, is also an accomplished musician, and I asked him if he had a guitar strap I could borrow. He presented me with a hand-made, woven purple guitar strap from a village in El Salvador that he visits regularly.
Back at the airport the next day, while waiting to board my flight and looking for coffee, I saw an old man who looked, from behind, like Noam Chomsky. I quietly walked towards him to get a closer look. It wasn't Noam, I determined.
Then I noticed that he wasn't just randomly admiring the view, looking out the window, but was looking at something out there in particular that was happening. Several fire trucks and police vehicles with lights flashing were gathered around a Delta airplane. Along with these official vehicles were a hearse, and a few other cars.
"What's going on over there?" I asked an airline employee who was standing nearby.
Quietly, with an unmistakable bitterness to her voice, she answered.
"It's the remains of a soldier, back from the wars. This happens way too often."
I agreed, and headed towards my gate.

Jamey Johnson
More Info
Jamey Johnson:
This former Marine crafted his rebellious singer-songwriter persona whilst in the service. His music reminds us of the days when country music was lawless and raw. Whether writing about addiction, heartache, family, or women, Jamey Johnson has become country's newest outlaw because his songs are written from the heart. Jamey Johnson tour dates have been scheduled nationally, fulfilling Johnson's lifelong dream of traveling the country to share his gift with his fans.
Johnson hails from Alabama and after a short stint at Jacksonville State University, the country music rebel enlisted with the US Marine Corps and stayed for eight years before moving to Nashville in 2000 to pursue his career. His songwriting talents were quickly noticed, and he penned the hit single "Honkytonk Badonkadonk" for Trace Adkins in 2005. It was soon after this that he signed a deal with BNA records to cut an album. The following year he released
The Dollar
, whose title track peaked at #14 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart. With only lukewarm sales, Johnson was soon dropped from BNA and he became somewhat reclusive. However, Johnson wouldn't be out of the scene for too long; he returned to his songwriting roots and penned George Strait's #1 country hit "Give it Away" and Joe Nichols' hit "Another Side of You." Without a record deal, Johnson self-recorded and produced 2008's
That Lonesome Song
, which caught the attention of label execs at Mercury Nashville. He was soon signed to the record label and released the hit single "In Color" the following year. In 2009, "In Color," was awarded with the Song of the Year award by the Academy of Country Music and was also nominated for two Grammy Awards. With critical acclaim and a gold-certified album, Johnson's return was one of redemption. In 2010, Johnson released the gold certified
The Guitar Song
, which featured the hit track, "Heartache." In support of the album, Jamey Johnson tour dates were scheduled at various locations throughout the US.
The Jamey Johnson concert schedule 2011 has him slated as the opening act for Kid Rock's Born Free Tour. Jamey Johnson tour dates and appearances highlight the singer-songwriter's ability to relate to people from all walks of life, and all four corners of the globe. Make sure you don't miss out on the chance to catch this country outlaw live; make Eventful your source for Jamey Johnson tour dates.

The quickest way to the top of your business...
18 August 2012 |
On my way back from the Olympics this week, as I sat in the plane in the midsts of tired travelers and athletes, I picked up the book I bought in the airport bookstore and there it was : " The quickest way to the top of your business is to turn it upside down".
The book is "Banksy" by Will Ellsworth Jones, and the quote hit home. It reminded me once more that the best ideas and inspirations one gets is always when turning in to new territories. This sentence encapsulates everything companies have been trying to reach, any ambition the business leaders set for themselves, every objective the countless hours of strategic meetings try to achieve. Yet, it was a grafitti street artist who wrote it best.
Countless examples remind us that the companies who truly dominate their industry have been able to do so by taking a key principle that their industry have held true for years, and challenged it.
I call it to "challenge unchallenged assumptions", in the same vein as turning a business upside down. Amazon has turned its industry upside down by taking out of the equation the bookstore, and continues to do it as it enpands its business model and manages to sell the same book twice ( as a new book, then as a used one once you've read it). Apple turned its industry upside down when the company found the key to online music - and was the first company to outsource part if its R&D development with the app developpers.
So who is the new player who will turn the industry upside down ? I notice a number of industry that are in the bad need of disruption:
- The telecom industry is likely to see new players emerging that will challenge the industry's most basic assumptions. Skype has paved the way, even if it is now dying of a slow death.
- The banking industry will see in the next 10 years some new major payer emerging: will it be the likes of M- pesa which challenges the notion that payments have to go through a bank, or will it be a another company that will shake the root of this industry ? I could not help but notice the arrogance of well established players: at the Olympics, the Organizers's notice in the walls of the official stores" Proud to accept Only Visa" is deemed to raise some eyebrows and will likely back-fire. How long before a new player takes this industry upside down and customers and businesses alike break free of the quasi monopoly of credit card companies ?
- How would the car industry turn its assumptions upside down ?
" Look at the blank spaces"
Concretely, Banksy provides us with a few clues about how you can bring this discussion in the corporate meeting room. One of the genius moves of the artist was to sneak into famous museums around the world such as the Tate his own pictures and captions. He describes the reconnaissance:
"It was funny. I was going to all these galleries and I was not looking at the art. I was looking at the blank spaces between the art". Banksy
Hence one suggestion for your next strategic meeting: as you are mapping the industry you are in, the players, the profitable segments of customer you need to approach, why not look at the blank spaces ? Western Union has done it by serving the underserved and building a very profitable business by serving immigrants sending money home- those same people bank would not even consider for a bank account as they often are missing legal papers.
This leads me to a question to the strategic planners in the corporate world: has anyone in your company ever asked you to turn your assumptions upside down ? Are you hiring those who can help you do so? Do you welcome in your boards those directors who have the background and skillset to get you there ? Who is your Banksy ?
Note: Banksy, thank you- I trust you'll let me borrow this quote as the title of this short article and for the inspiration. You are welcome to comment below here ...

Isaac just before bed tonight
Today started at 5.45 with changing two dirty nappies. By 7am I was simultaneously trying to make two packed lunch boxes, get four boys dressed, give Isaac his last food and drink before surgery, fill in his surgery information forms, pack an overnight case for A and U, pack a bag for day care for A, pack clothes for Isaac at the hospital and text Beth as she flies to Sydney - got a bit stressed.
I finally managed to get five of us organised to take Noah to school (Lily pushing Isaac in the single pushchair and me pushing A and U in the Double) only to find that Noah still had not managed to put on his socks and shoes!
We made it back from school by 8.50 to find that both the boys taxis that were supposed to come at 9.00 were already waiting. Lots of moving boys around and A and U had gone to be returned tomorrow at 9.00.
I decided I would walk to the hospital to get my daily exercise and have a chance to go shopping for half an hour - so easy with just one boy compared to three.
I sat for a cup of coffee then noticed the pushchair - mountain buggy was quite hard to push. The front wheel was entirely flat and needed a new inner tube before there was any hope of using it.
So we ended up going to hospital by taxi with a lovely driver who listened to my story about Isaac going for surgery then charged me a round ten dollars rather than the $10.40 his meter showed.
As is usual in hospital youngest patient goes first so Isaac was first on the list as he was the youngest patient by about 70 years! We were warned the surgery would be at least one and a half hours and it took about two and a half from leaving him after the anaesthetic until I was called to recovery. Paul was hoping to be with me but ended up being the only haematologist in the hospital and having two new patients with leukaemia.
This may have been Isaac's sixth surgery but the waiting time doesn't get any easier. I walked down to Terrace End to the lovely magazine shop there, spent some time in Paul's office while he reported bone marrows and some time in the hospital canteen. The ophthalmologist said there had been lots of scarring from the previous surgery and he wasn't sure how straight Isaac's eyes would be. He said they'd be very red for a few days.
Isaac also had grommets put in so when I got to the recovery room he was oozing blood from both eyes and one ear. We got back to the day ward at about 4.30 and two hours later he was ready for discharge.
I was so pleased A and U are with other caregivers tonight as we didn't get home until 7.30 after buying groceries and pizza.
We have just put in Isaac's eye drops and ointment, taped socks over his hands to prevent him scratching his eyes and now he is off to bed with me soon to follow I think!

Eco-Friendly Carpet Cleaning
Carpet cleaners are jumping on the eco-friendly bandwagon. Products used are highly effective carpet cleaning formulas that work to remove stains and clean deep into the carpet. No harmful cleaning liquids are used. Products meet OSHA standards.
The non-toxic, environmentally-safe formulas encapsulate dirt and crystallize when dry. The process prevents re-soiling of the treated area by left-over residue. The residue and encapsulated soil are easily vacuumed.
Pet, ink, dairy, and other difficult stains that once required expensive and hazardous spot removers can be removed from upholstery and carpets safely with environmentally friendly products. Various types of cleaning equipment are used. The equipment includes steam extractors, shampoo machines, and hot and cold water extractor equipment. Hand brushes are sometimes used to apply the solutions.
Professional cleaners are making the transformation in the way carpets are overhauled. State-of-the-art technology, that uses 200ᵒ F water to submerge carpets, is sometimes utilized. The method efficiently removes mites, stains, and dirt as well as the foul odor that prolonged exposure to human perspiration, soil, air, and other foreign material causes.
Avoid Do-It-Yourself
Many environment conscious consumers try to improvise carpet cleaning solutions with materials found in the kitchen. These products can be harmful to the health of humans and pets if they are inhaled or ingested.
Placing carpet under direct sunlight is an eco-friendly means that do-it-yourselfers use to disinfect carpets. Bacteria, exposed to extreme heat or cold temperatures, stop multiplying and die. Using this method can affect the quality of the carpet. Direct heat from the sun causes carpet wear and tear that leads to material decay.
Dangers of Harsh Chemicals
Carpet cleaners use natural ingredients in their cleaning agents that protect the environment and the species that live there. Commercial agents mixed with water in river basins and oceans block oxygen marine animals need to survive. Water and detergent mixtures create a toxic substance that fish find harmful. Algae is prevented from forming. The lack of algae creates insufficient food supplies for marine animals.
In residential areas, commercial cleaning agents that accidentally combine with drinking water when they enter pipes, cause severe health problems. The problems include poisoning and stomach depletion from a chemical reaction to the body.
Benefits of Environmentally Friendly Carpet Cleaning
While natural cleaning agents are more expensive, they are the most cost-effective. The efficacy of natural ingredients lasts longer. Advanced technology is used to extract pure substances from natural ingredients to yield the desired outcome.
Using natural cleaning agents reduces the frequency of carpet cleaning. Natural cleaning agents act as disinfectants. Synthetic products aim to transform foul odors into positive ones. Your investment is for long-term safety rather than short-time convenience.
Promoting a sustainable environment and a healthy household are the reasons behind professional carpet cleaners transitioning to green cleaning products. Customers are offered healthier, safer, and cleaner options. Non-toxic, safe cleaning solutions have a minimal environmental impact. Eco-friendly solutions can be used on Oriental rugs and upholstery as well as carpets. Harsh chemicals are not needed to clean deep and refresh carpets.

A memory we will never forget. Although probably nothing to be proud of, but how many Club's can boast the fact that they have had a team bowled all out for only one run!
Wynberg/Valkenberg vs Melchester
Date: 31/10/1992
League: 3D
Venue: Wynberg Sports Club – "B" field

Interesting facts about the match were:

- All 3 batsman caught were by the wicket keeper.
- Nine wickets fell for 0 runs.
- 18 year old Ebrahim Cooper took 6 wickets for 0 runs.
- It took just 8.2 overs to bowl Wynberg out.
- Only 1 run scored in 8.2 overs.
- There was nothing wrong with the pitch if Melchester scored 189!
- I. Van Rensburg (Jnr) & Yasieed Daniels went on to play 1st division cricket. Yazeed is still playing 1st team.
- J. Peskin, J. Dewitt went on to play 2nd team cricket.
- A. Daniels, T. Conlan. S. Garriez, C. Van Eyssen & C. Winn retired from cricket after this season.
- G. Singh continued to play for the 4th team, but has never scored a 50, his best being 41*.
- J. Manuel was the only player to continue with major success as a bowler, but as a usual number 11 batsman one wonders what the hell he was doing batting at number 5 here!
Calvin Van Eyssen was the only player not out on 0. This was a bit flattering for this player as he was noticeably our worst ever player in the history of Wynberg Cricket Club!

Julia Louis-Dreyfus definitely has proven that she's funny and talented enough to sustain post-Seinfeld success. The New Adventures of Old Christine ran for five seasons and reruns in syndication keep the series alive.
Happily, we may get to see her in another series soon. Louis-Dreyfus is talking to HBO about starring in its new political comedy Veep. The story focuses on Senator Selina Meyer, who becomes vice president and finds out that it's "nothing like she expected and everything everyone warned her about."
The series comes from writer/director Armando Iannucci, who created the award-winning British political satire The Thick of It. ABC tried to adapt Veep several years ago and got as far as the pilot, which, despite being directed by Christopher Guest, reportedly was awful. From what Iannucci said, the series seems a better fit for cable anyway. "It was terrible … they took the idea and chucked out all the style. It was all conventionally shot and there was no improvisation or swearing," he told reporters. Definitely not a problem with HBO.
I'd love to see Louis-Dreyfus in a setting that has more creative freedom than conventional prime-time network TV offers. She was a hoot on the recent live 30 Rock episode and is as talented at timing and delivery as she is at physical comedy. Can you imagine her on an uncensored show satirizing politics? I'm already laughing. And if she needs a Chief of Staff, I think Wanda Sykes is available.
What do you think? Would you like to see Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Vice President of the United States?

Hi, first post. Have done a search but not found anything exactly like my problem, but apologies if it's a commonly asked item.
I have a number of users who are getting blank emails from phplist. Other users get the messages just fine, but these users get just an empty email with the powered by image as an attachment.
All our users are added manually to the database, we don't have self-subscription or unsubscribe pages. All are marked as html initially, although we've had to change a few to text-only in the past. However the people with this problem are not necessarily those who cannot receive html emails.
What could be causing this? Is there some magic in the compose message editor that's somehow producing illegal html or something?
Thanks for any insight

Sometimes you see something in life and you just say, "WOW!" This is one of those things. This recreation of Kokiri Forest from Ocarina of Time in Unreal Engine 4 is breathtaking and best of all you can download and play it!
There has been a lot of talk lately about which Zelda game could get a remake on the Nintendo Switch. I've been against a remake of Ocarina of Time because I feel like we have already had enough of those, and I still love to go back and play the 3DS version when I can, but this video has changed my mind. I would definitely be OK with an Ocarina of Time remake if it looked this stunning!
YouTuber CryZENx has created other Unreal Engine 4 videos for Zelda, but this one stands out among the rest of them. This isn't simply another Unreal Engine 4 production where you basically just walk around a map. In this one, you get some cutscenes, lovely animal sounds, and the ability to throw rocks/jars and slash away at enemies with your sword. Prepare yourself to be amazed!
You can check out the video below or click here to view it on Youtube. ENJOY!

Isaan by Motorbike – Day 4 (Part 2)Kevin (เควิน) Khaosan
After the temple I wanted to make up for some lost time. Also my ass was still hurting from the punishment I had been giving it. The bike seat, nothing else.
I was on a huge open road. So I slowly took the speed up to 140km/h +. Breaking the speed limit for sure but heh, no police, no cameras and most of all there was no traffic on the road. In the distance someone came into view.
I caught up with them very quickly, then with no signals or checking in their non-existent mirrors they pulled over to the right hand side of the road, right in front of me. Like a slow motion sequence. I was trying to work out where on the road the space for me would be when I caught up with them. Not easy with only about 2 seconds thinking and reaction time. I slammed on the breaks – enough to slow but not enough to skid. I daren't sound the horn for fear of them changing their course. Heavy braking and a bank to the left pulled me out of their way with maybe 6 inches to spare. NOTE TO SELF, SLOW THE F*** DOWN.
On to the next waterfall!!! It would be so nice , once again a chance to swim in the refreshing water and bask in the baking sun. I drove away from the main highway. Through open fields on dirt tracks, searching for the waterfall. After leaving the main highway the road signs were all in Thai. I had to somehow work out by radar where the water was.
These open fields all had some large golden leaved plants, I was not sure what they were, maybe some sort of cabbage. Then I saw the open barns drying the leaves. When I got close to one of the barns I smelled a wonderful aroma. The smell of fresh tobacco. This was obviously a tobacco farming area. The smell was amazing.
I tried to buy some tobacco from one of the farmers, just a little bit to go with the meat I had bought in Tae Rae. This was where the language barrier got the better of me. I could not understand a bloody word they were saying. Everything I said received blank looks. I tried for a few minutes including hand-signals and the like but to no avail.
I carried on to the waterfall. It was a great drive through increasingly dusty tracks. I found my goal. I parked up the motorbike and went for a walk.
Guess what. Yes, another water not fall. This place was still beautiful, even with no water.
Phulangka national park is the location of this water not fall. I rested in the shade of the trees for a while and took a few photos before making my way back to the main highway.
I drove onto Bueang Kan. I easily found and checked into the Samar Guest house. A really smart place. It looked brand new and at 300 baht per night it is amazing. It was ultra clean, amazingly clean; it was so clean that I might have been the first person to stay in this room.
I went for my daily massage. OK I have had some strange massages in my time but this one pretty much took the biscuit. I got the usual banter – you speak Thai? – velly gooood, have girlfriend, how long in Thailand – blah blah blah. OK.
Then the second masseur started to touch my tattoos. "Ooh very sexy" I smiled. Then they started to talk about me not having a girlfriend, suggesting that when I travel I do not have a girlfriend. DANGER WILL ROBINSON DANGER.
After she finished playing with my nipple and me telling them that I do have a girlfriend I arranged to meet them at eight o'clock (whilst planning my escape route. Over the razor wire, through the muddy tunnel and out across the tobacco fields till I reach the Mae Khong to swim to Loas for freedom form the evil twins. Oh yes accompanied by a bottle of wine.
After the massage I drove around the town to have a look around. I found a wine shop there, it was amazing. A really nice owner who I spoke with for a while. He was talking mainly that it was nice to have someone come in and choose a bottle of wine by the label and not the price; saying that there were not many wine drinkers in the area. The locals mainly being made up of whisky drinkers. He had a full range of wines, all stored well and from good vintners. I took my time choosing my bottle then found a restaurant.
The restaurant I chose was on the river front. The head waiter spoke very good English. I took a low seat and asked them for a glass for my ready opened bottle of nine year old cabernet sauvignon. Tasty food and a bottle of wine. The placement of the restaurant was great , with low tables for the more traditional manner of sitting down to eat.
Then it was back to the guesthouse, avoiding the massage house that was less than 200 metres from the guest house. Ninja style!!!
A perfect end to a crazy day.

Father and son duo David and Olivier Hart claimed a convincing win in the 45-minute RAC TT Celebration thriller on Sunday afternoon.
The Cobra pairing scored from pole position, but their win was far from assured. Hart Sr led during the early running, heading a train of four Cobras plus Jon Minshaw's Jaguar E-type, only to be given a five-second penalty for glancing the chicane. He continued to lead on the road until he pitted with 30 minutes left to run, handing the car over to his teenage son to drive to the flag.
Veteran racer Martin Stretton assumed the lead in the meantime aboard the Cobra he was sharing with Karsten Le Blanc, and was one of the last to pit. 'Danger Mouse' waited a further ten minutes before swapping seats with the car's owner.
Once the driver changes were complete, there was no stopping Hart Jr, although Phil Keen – in for Minshaw – threatened, but ultimately had to settle for second place. Third place was only settled on the final lap, with the Mike Whittaker/Mike Jordan TVR Griffith just fending off a very determined Le Mans hero Roman Dumas in Bill Shepherd's Cobra.

Oh, how I missed satay! Reminds me of Kajang Satay. Your satay looks very authentic. Bet they are delicious.ReplyDelete
Oh yes. Satays are wonderful, aren't they? I love the fact that each region in Southeast Asia has a version of it. My husband family is passionate about the Malaysian style, which I love. Your photo and writing piece are absolutely wonderful. The recipe sounds like a winner, too. I hate those recipes calling for peanut butter. It's just not the same…ReplyDelete

She dress the dolls in different outfits and change her dipper, talk to her and having so much fun out of the doll.

She even has blushing and dimples in all the typical places, 19" tall and she can fit newborn Huggies diapers. Later I bought her couple of pajama sets and a stroller. Because the strollers we had wouldn't fit for her. My daughter loves pretending to bottle feed paradise galleries baby doll. Doll's legs are vinyl and in a bent pose, arms are half vinyl. This doll comes with a signed Certificate of Authenticity. Me and my daughter actually enjoys babysitting this little angel, she feels so real.

Volunteer Lawyers Network Honors Gray Plant Mooty's William Fisher as "Volunteer of the Year"
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.

Pillow Form:
Cut 2 14 1/2 inch squares of muslin. Sew together with a 1/4 inch seam, leaving a 4-5 inch opening at the bottom. Trim the corners. Turn right side out. Stuff with fiberfill. I tend to overstuff as I like my pillows FAT. Hand sew the opening closed with upholstery thread or button thread.
Pillow Cover:
From 1 fat quarter, cut a 14 1/2 inch square. From the second fat quarter cut 2 pieces measuring 10 inches by 14 1/2 inches. Iron 1/4 inch hem on one of the 14 1/2 wide ends. Then fold over about an inch and iron again. Sew the hems of the two shorter pieces.
Pin, with the right sides together and the two shorter pieces overlapping, and sew a 1/4 inch seam all the way around. Trim the corners. Turn right side out. Iron the pillow cover.

As you may or may not know, I am a single parent.
Those of you who are not parents will not understand why this has been made as a statement. Those of you that are may now understand why my posts are erratic, why my "making time" as Blackwillow the accessories designer (and belly dance teacher) seems to become such a focus point for me at various times…..
To share a little with you I have been a single parent for some time, but I only split with my now ex other half just under a year ago. For the sake of my children (and my own sanity) I was able to keep up a front for some time……
When we did split up, one of my first thoughts was, "Where I am I going to go on holiday with the kids??" I very quickly found a website devoted to this very situation. That I felt comfortable with. There are more than one that cater to people in my situation, that of being single with kids, but this was the one I am most happy with.
Last summer I met up with a couple of mums and their kids at a park but wasn't brave enough to do anything else. I'm quite shy really. (No, really….being a belly dancer is about putting on a costume, a face, a persona….)
But, here was a weekend in the New Forest, and even if I wasn't brave enough to go and introduce myself to people, the kids would be bound to make at least one new friend each.
G now has two new friends that I hope we will see more of because they don't live far away, and J……well, J tagged along with a couple of boys that were camped close by and most importantly had an epithany.
He spent most of Friday evening and most of Saturday saying, "Mummy, I want to go home." He's two years and nine months old. But then at about 6pm on Saturday he decided to take all of his clothes off and run around naked for an hour, wiggling his bits at who ever would take notice. It was hilarious and beautiful all at once. One of the children we had befriended (older at seven and more at home with the idea of shame) asked, "Isn't he embarrassed?" I was proud to say, "No, at his age it just feels good!"
After the heavy and torrential rain of Friday night it was a relief to have a dry night in the tent, and on Sunday morning when we woke up it was misty and I was happy in the knowledge that the day was set to be fine. It was. By 11am the sun was out and shining and once the tent was put away and the goodbyes said I asked the children where they would like to go and before it was even optioned J said, "The beach!".
Off we went to the nearest beach, a mere 15 minutes away. Although a pebble beach they and Had great fun jumping and dodging the strong waves for a good four hours before ice creams all round and then a long journey home.
This photo is a little like something from Inception, where you never see the children's faces. You will never see my children's faces. I love and protect them. But today I want to love and share them……
On the way home we spent a lot longer in the car than I would have liked, but as someone either had a very bad day, or met their demise on the M3, we kept the energy up by playing Eye Spy. "Eye Spy something in the colour of red."
"I/we give up….."
"A crane lifting a cow!" (nowhere to be seen but when you're playing with someone who's not quite three then some artistic license is allowed).
We all had a great weekend. I made some new friends and met some I've talked to online and I am ashamed to say I didn't catch up with everyone who has been so supportive to me over the last (almost) year. And more importantly, the kids made friends and had a FAB time. We'll definitely be doing this again.
