Name: Water Shrew
Scientific name: Neomys fodiens
Category: Mammals
Nature Stars: 70
About: Our largest shrew, up to 9.5cm long, plus a tail of up to 8cm. The Water Shrew, as the name suggests, lives almost entirely in wetland habitats, spending much of its time hunting for invertebrate prey, even swimming underwater to catch caddisfly and mayfly larvae. They have a fringe of stiffer hairs on their tail and on their large back feet to help with swimming. Water Shrews live in small burrows in the bank.
How to identify: A large shrew, black above and white below. The only shrew likely to be seen in the water.
Where: Widespread, found everywhere except for the Channel Islands, the Isles of Scilly, Scottish islands, the Isle of Man and Northern Ireland
Natural Superpowers
Fantastic fact: Water Shrews have a poisonous bite: venom in their saliva helps to kill their prey!

As I dejectedly sipped a beer tonight, I told some friends about the blog post I wrote one year ago, entitled "I don't like these ones".
I resented those children. They replaced my little angels from the year before, and I wasn't happy about it. They were noisy and unruly and impossible to teach. They wouldn't listen, wouldn't speak English, and wouldn't stay in their seats. "I was so frustrated and exhausted that I gave up on trying to teach them, and just wrote the answer up on the board for them to copy down," I said to Alex one lunch time, trying not to weep into my soup. "And they STILL got it wrong!"
I was so sad that my beloved classes had been replaced by these children whose specific aim in life seemed to be to piss me off. I'd cried at the graduation ceremony, and couldn't imagine ever taking to these new students like I had to my old ones. A reader commented on my post, one year ago today: What state are you going to be in next year, when it's your turn to leave….?
Well, as it turned out, I don't have to leave after all, and I have another year to enjoy doing this job that I love so much. But the really surprising part is that my sorrow from last year was nothing compared to how I feel right now. I actually find myself likening my feelings to "The Sad" I felt after the breakup. Of course, I don't have any of the destructive negative feelings like hurt and anger that went along with that, so I know I'll be right as rain after a brief period of grief, but at the moment I honestly feel the kind of raw emotion that makes you want to curl up and cry your eyes out whilst listening to sad songs and eating only chocolate and ice cream!
Last year, the children didn't show any emotion when they left – but this year, several of them started to cry during the "Goodbye, teacher" song. Oh, it was horrendous. Torture. And of course there we are, teachers all lined up on the stage staring desperately at the back wall in a furious attempt to hold back the tears as the kids sing to us. At least four of us failed miserably, and cried right there on the stage, in front of the audience of proud parents and sad children.
I know it's wrong to have favourites, but I always do, much as I try to ensure that it doesn't show in class. There were 5 girls this year with whom I formed a real bond. I love them with all my heart. They are bright, enthusiastic, positive, and so friendly that you can't help but smile when you see them. They'd come into my classroom if they were passing, just to say hello or show me what they'd made in their science class, or tell me about their plans for the weekend. I read that post from a year ago and find it almost impossible to believe that I didn't always adore them.
After the ceremony, my favourite little girl came flying out of the hall, dropped her diploma on the floor, and flung herself at me with such force that I nearly fell backwards, barely having time to crouch down to catch her. And she howled. I don't think I've ever seen a child I really care about in so much distress before, and it broke my heart. So we cried together. And then her mother came along to try and coax her to leave, and she was crying as well. It was both horrible, and beautiful. Horrible to see a child so upset, and to be saying goodbye to one that I've come to love as if she's my own. Beautiful to know that she loves me as much as I love her, and that my job involves so much more than just earning a living.
I don't know who grabbed my camera and took this photograph, but I will treasure it for the rest of my life.
And now (as I can no longer see the screen for the tears – this is ridiculous), onwards! To the new school year and the new lot who'll no doubt drive me mad for a while before putting me hopelessly under their spell…

During the dot-com boom, it was common to hear about companies with "flat hierarchies" to more flexibly meet new challenges. No longer was there one long chain of command: now most everyone was equal to everyone else. I don't know whether that concept still exists, but my recent reading into the science of social status has led me to reconsider my previously full-throated support of the concept. Here are some basic reasons why hierarchies are good:
Human beings are social animals, a fact that is central to how we as a species see the world. And like other social animals, whether wolves or chickens or chimpanzees, we sort ourselves into rankings. These rankings aren't static, they can change over time, but they impose order on social interaction: In the wild, they create a framework for dividing up vital tasks among a group, and because they clearly codify differences in power or strength or ability, they prevent every interaction from disintegrating into an outright fight over mates or resources — someone's rank tells you how likely she is to beat you in a fight, and you're less likely to bother her if you already know.
…For one thing, it turns out that people are ruthlessly clear-eyed judges of their own place in the social hierarchy. This is notable because they tend to be poor judges of just about everything else about themselves. Study after study has shown that people are incorrigible self-inflaters, wildly overestimating their own intelligence, sexual attractiveness, driving skills, income rank, and the like. But not social status, that they turn out to be coldly impartial about.
For example, a team of social psychologists led by Cameron Anderson of the University of California, Berkeley ran a study in which strangers were put into groups that met once a week, and were tasked with solving various collaborative problems. After each meeting, the participants rated their own status in the group and that of their teammates. By and large, people's self-evaluations matched up with how their peers rated them.
…In a 2003 study by Larissa Tiedens and Alison Fragale, both then at Stanford University, subjects who displayed submissive body language were found to feel more comfortable around others who displayed dominant body language than around those who also displayed submissive body language — and to like those with more dominant posture better, as well. People, it seems, prefer having their evaluation of social hierarchy confirmed, even when they see themselves at the bottom of it.
Perhaps the strongest, if the most surprising, evidence for the importance of clearly delineated social hierarchies is work that suggests that more inequality can make for better teams…Galinsky and his fellow researchers found that NBA teams with greater pay disparities not only won more, but ranked higher in categories like assists and rebounding, suggesting a higher degree of cooperation. The clearer the status imbalance, the researchers argued, the less question there is about where one stands.
Now clearly inequality per se is not a good thing. But there are situations where inequality between individuals is good. We are intensely social animals and function better as a group when we have a status; it's better to have a low-entropy social pattern than a high-entropy one. Social status even affects us biologically; it changes the number of dopamine receptors we have in the basal ganglia which (should) affect how we value things and how pleasurable activities are. Inequality, it seems, is in our very brains.

Should you leave a deposit?
A deposit is a payment that shows a dealer you intend to purchase a vehicle from them. Do not leave a deposit if you are not 100% sure you will buy the vehicle. If you put down a deposit and do not buy the vehicle, the dealer may be able to keep the entire deposit.
In some cases, a deposit may be to:
- Hold the vehicle for some time
- Bring the vehicle in from another dealer
- Bring the vehicle directly from a manufacturer
- Arrange financing for the vehicle
A deposit should be documented in writing, so ask for a deposit agreement. The agreement should include:
- The amount of the deposit
- Under what terms the deposit is refundable
- Under what terms it will be non-refundable
- If the deposit amount applies to the purchase price
- What date the vehicle will be delivered or available
Be sure you agree with all the terms in the purchase or deposit agreement before you sign. Take a copy with you when you leave the dealer.
For more information on deposits, see the VSA Fact Sheet: Deposits.

Media Lightbox Designer Promotes Graduate Jobs in IrelandPosted 28th February 2012 by   Email article Share article
InterTradeIreland have launched a new website specifically designed to help graduates from across the island secure high caliber jobs, www.footinthedoor.info.
Sixty positions will be on offer throughout 2012, with a further 30 export sales jobs coming online mid-year. The jobs are located across the island and are open to recent and past graduates, North and South.
The new web portal www.footinthedoor.info will provide a one stop shop for graduates to access the latest job details, look at videos from past graduates on their experience and interact with other graduates to share knowledge and information. The social hub within the website will also give current graduates and alumni the opportunity to further engage with one another, raise discussions and share best practice through a dedicated Facebook page.
My Background
Having graduated in 2011 with a degree in Interactive Multimedia Design, I applied for a post online with Media Lightbox, a cloud-based digital asset management system that enables businesses to store, share and manage their files online. The position was for the role of Web Interface Design Coordinator as part of the FUSION programme.
I discovered InterTradeIreland's FUSION programme online, when searching for employment. I was amazed at the number of SMEs throughout the island working with InterTradeIreland to find high quality graduates. The posts advertised were for a range of jobs in various sectors including IT, Science, Engineering, Energy and Pharmaceuticals.
On researching the position at Media Lightbox further, I realized the huge benefits that the FUSION programme had to offer over working for a larger organization.
I was hired by Media Lightbox in the Summer of 2011 and have been working to co-ordinate the development of the Media Lightbox user interface and improve quality control.
Benefits of FUSION
All FUSION positions are with small to medium sized companies across Ireland. They offer access to research and development facilities in a leading college or university, a Diploma in Business Management at Smurfit Business School and the opportunity to gain excellent industrial experience through a structured and planned programme of work.
Training is funded by the FUSION programme and I have been working with an IT specialist from Dundalk Institute of Technology. The Business Management course at Smurfit Business School improved my knowledge of business strategy, finance, marketing, entrepreneurship and human resources management.
This Postgraduate Diploma has enabled me to see the bigger picture in the business rather than the purely creative aspects of my role.
Managing a FUSION project greatly improved my business skills and I would recommend that all graduates regularly visit the new footinthedoor website to check for vacancies in their sector.

Down the Rabbit Hole
Everyone wants to go down the Rabbit Hole with Alice. So we are going to create our very own Rabbits Hole card using pages from a vintage Alice in Wonderland book!
If you don't not have any old books, you can easily find them in charity shops, Jumble sales, and online auction sites.
I carefully removed 7 pages from an old vintage Alice in Wonderland book
I cut a circle in the first page and decreased the size of this circle on each following page.
I edged the inside of the circle with brown ink and adhered the pages on top of one another using clear 3D sticky pads
I watercoloured my stamped images of Alice, Leaves and a small Butterfly, and fussy cut each of them.
I mixed some Ruby Slippers paint into a spoonful of fine texture paste and swept it into one of the roses on the stencil.
I used a versamarker inkpad to stamp the script onto my 7x7 card blank. I used Teal luscious over the versamarker dabbing it lightly with a brush.
When the Rose was dry I brushed ultra thick Slap it on over it to give it a glossy finish.
I adhered Alice, the leaves and rose onto the Rabbit Hole
I adhered the rabbit hole onto the card and arranged the leaves and butterfly around it.
I added a finishing touch by stamping Alice onto the front of the envelope.I think I may add some colour to Alice...
There is lots more inspiration on the Indigoblu blog
Thank you so much for coming down the Rabbit Hole with me today. I hope to see you again soon.

What a Surprise!
I discovered today that my little Christmas box (3 inch square) won the Readers Challenge in Papercraft Inspirations! I gave this box to my Mother for Christmas and filled it with lip balms and little chocs.
I made the box some time ago with some beautiful Forest Magic stamps which came with the magazine. I wrote a few words about it here.
My talented friend Sandra's gorgeous card was published too!
Thank you so much for visiting. May you have many happy days in 2017!

Let It Snow
The main image is by Crafty Individuals, I chose this stamp after I was luckily chosen as winner in one of their challenges.
I stamped and water coloured the images. I fussy cut them out and detached the umbrella from the children. I made a snowy background with Watercolours and adhered the children to the texture paste and glitter snow. I used foam pads to hold the umbrella in place to gave it some depth. The Let it Snow stamp is from IndigoBlu's stamp set Sparkle and Glisten

An Apple Or Two A Day For Bernie
Do you have a folder of backgrounds which you have created but haven't used? I know I do so I pulled a colourful one of them out to use as my base for this picture.
I firmly taped my elephant stencil down with some masking tape. I swept some texture paste over the stencil with a palette knife, I wanted to give the elephant a cracked rough elephant type skin so I used a sponge (an inexpensive make up sponge) and pressed it into the paste and then quickly lifted it up. I have never used crackle paint, but you could probably create the same appearance with that.
When the paste was completely dry. I put the stencil back over the paste and carefully stuck it down. I used Rangers Cool Graphite dye ink to colour the elephant. I really should give him a name.... I think I will call him Bernie. I dabbed a sponge into the ink and dabbed it all over until Bernie was a glorious grey colour.
Now Bernie is often hungry so I quickly painted him a few apples, and coated them in glossy accents. When nice and dry I cut them all out.
I stamped a bird on a little piece of card and cut it out and sat him on Bernie's back. I added few green stamped branches and leaves, and glued the apples amongst them.Now Bernie is ready to have a feast!

On Tuesday, President Trump acknowledged, seemingly for the first time, the existence of some 580 miles of extant fencing along our southern border. These makeshift defenses, he added, have proven more than capable of holding back the non-existent foreign hordes intent upon carrying bubonic plague to various Houston-area Bed, Bath and Beyond locations.
Despite the large Caravans that WERE forming and heading to our Country, people have not been able to get through our newly built Walls, makeshift Walls & Fences, or Border Patrol Officers & Military. They are now staying in Mexico or going back to their original countries.......
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 11, 2018
.....Ice, Border Patrol and our Military have done a FANTASTIC job of securing our Southern Border. A Great Wall would be, however, a far easier & less expensive solution. We have already built large new sections & fully renovated others, making them like new. The Democrats,.....
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 11, 2018
....however, for strictly political reasons and because they have been pulled so far left, do NOT want Border Security. They want Open Borders for anyone to come in. This brings large scale crime and disease. Our Southern Border is now Secure and will remain that way.......
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 11, 2018
This frank and unwonted admission was a victory for all who, regardless of their prudential views on the subject of immigration, consider the "impenetrable, physical, tall, powerful, beautiful southern border wall" folly. Proponents of severe immigration restriction should be among the first to acknowledge that expending further resources upon such a project will not advance their cause. The leadership of the Democratic Party agrees. As Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi observed in their contentious exchange with the president on Tuesday, no expert in the area of border security believes that a wall costing some $21.6 billion is necessary or desirable. The majority of drugs are smuggled into this country by means of subterfuge at official points of entry. This is not the finding of the "fake news" media but the official conclusion of John Kelly when he served as head of the Department of Homeland Security. Our "makeshift Walls & Fences" are enough.
None of this matters to the president. He continued to insist on Tuesday that he is willing to shut down the government in order to secure funding for this project. Why? Trump does not wish to build his wall because he believes that its fabrication will lower rates of drug overdose or bring about a general lessening of crime. He talks a good deal about "border security," but the wall is "very important" to him simply because construction, his father's business before it was his own, has fascinated him since boyhood. His imagination as a child was haunted by dreams of one day erecting skyscrapers in Manhattan. He has already achieved this. To construct a contiguous series of impregnable fortifications across the 2,000 miles of our border with Mexico would be among the most spectacular feats in the history of building. The wall is a private fantasy. It is also fundamentally childish.
I am not totally allergic to these sublime considerations. The image of a vast monument whose ruins will stretch from Brownsville to San Diego, worshipped by primitive shamans and providing shelter from the elements to birds and beasts thousands of years after the United States is a dim memory is, to me, an appealing one. But this is also the best argument against the wall. Who would wish to bequeath the spirit and the trappings of our age to anyone? The private imagination that has conceived the border wall has already given us the disemboweled Rubik's Cube on Fifth Avenue. In place of earth, brick, stone, and wood he would offer transparent, electrified glass 30 feet in height as far as the eye could see.
Trump's Great Wall, unlike that begun by Qin Shi Huang more than 2,000 years ago, is a purely aesthetic rather than a civic or military undertaking. Its construction would further no meaningful interest save his own. The pharaohs had similar ambitions, and the world still delights in their monuments at Giza. It might be possible to defend the border wall if there were any likelihood that it would aspire to something like Egyptian grandeur or longevity.
It would not last half a millennium. It would stand for a few hundred years, perhaps less, as a reminder of the ugliness of the American imagination, her narrowness, her cruelty, her greed and philistinism, and her denial of her imperial destiny as the humane capital of the Western hemisphere before the glass is swallowed into the desert. These are not themes which any of us should desire to prolong. Conceived in purely aesthetic terms, it is chiefly on moral grounds that the wall should be dismissed.

Tompot Blenny
Least concern
this character
It takes over a cavity that it uses as a shelter and then fiercely defends, especially against other members of its species.
The tompot may even attack creatures much larger than itself... even divers! Its aggressive defence of its territory has earned it a reputation for being 'doggish'.
This omnivorous fish feeds on algae and various invertebrates living on the ocean floor.
The tompot blenny mates during the spring.
The male prepares a 'nest' in a cavity for a female to lay her eggs in. To attract a female, he parades about, waggling his long, fir-shaped tentacles over his eyes. Once the eggs have been placed in the nest, he defends them from attackers, ventilating them using his fins.
The larvae emerge after a month to spend a few weeks in the open water before returning to the ocean floor.

There's quite an interesting blog called the Muddle East run by a chap called Matt Hill. Matt supports the two-state solution in that he sees the maintaining of a state for Jews as essential, desirable and inevitable. See this from his latest post:
It's become almost a cliche: everyone knows, roughly, the likely shape of a future peace deal between the Israelis and Palestinians. And it's true that on issues like borders, settlements, even refugees, the chasm separating the two sides in 2000 has narrowed - even amid all the violence and overheated rhetoric.Matt describes himself "moderately pro-Palestinian" but this is relative to the fact that he often cross-posts at Harry's Place where his support for the two state solution and criticism of the State of Israel sends most of the commentators and those of the hosts who can bothered to comment into a feed frenzy.
Anyway, he recently stopped by the Magnes Zionist blog and Jerry Haber, the blogger there, returned his visit with a comment of his own as follows:
Thanks for stopping by my place. I think my email is there. Anyway, it'sSo in this case the Magnes Zionist appears to be not as enamoured of zionism as generally understood as the "moderate... pro-Palestinian" is. Should Jerry Haber change the name of his blog? Should Matt Hill change his self-description? Of course both could do either but I'm guessing neither will do either. I do think Matt Hill's blog is worth a look at but I needed the excuse that Jerry Haber's comment has given me.
You wrote:
It's become almost a cliche: everyone knows, roughly, the likely shape of a future peace deal between the Israelis and Palestinians.
You are right -- it is almost a cliche, and like so many almost cliches it is a comforting one.
Fortunately, I stopped believing in it a long time ago.
You see, the proposed peace solution that "everybody knows" (to quote Leonard Cohen) is what the Israeli philosopher Avishai Margalit calls a "rotten compromise". It allows certain groups in Israeli and Palestinian society maintain their current life styles, at the expense of other groups in both societies who will suffer. On my blog, I have been most sensitive to the suffering of the Palestinians who are the victims in this conflict, and that compromise will condemn them to years of subalternation. But I cannot deny the suffering of some of the perpetrators, the brainwashed settlers, should they have to evacuate their homes for several generations. (I can't deny it; I also can't get as upset about it.)
Faith in the peace process allows the liberal Zionist to sleep at night. She sees the daily injustices and inequities (and iniquities) committed by her side against the Palestinians, and longs for some relief, some way out. So she lives under the illusion that things will get better if only the messiah comes, sorry, if only the right formula is figured out. So she will talk about confidence-building measures, state-building, reducing tension, people-to-people initiatives, joint summer camps. In the meantime, more settlements are built, more settlers enter the high ranks of the judiciary, military, and government, more Palestinians are arrested, and most Israelis don't give a damn.
I have been observing this conflict for forty years. The sides are further apart today then they ever have been. And generations of Israeli Jews and Palestinians are growing up with almost no contact whatever -- much different from when I was here as a young man.
My advice to you is to come to Israel, and take Breaking the Silence's trips to Hebron and Ramallah. You won't be able to read the Atlantic again.
And how's this for another cliche: Things will have to get a lot worse before they get better.
I am betting on the truth of that one. And when things do get better -- and they will -- the final settlement won't look anything like your cliche says it does.
Let's keep the dialogue open. Unlike some of my cohorts, I believe in kiruv, engagement.

Technical Committees
Standardization at TBS
Tanzania Bureau of Standards (TBS) is the statutory national standards body for Tanzania, mandated to formulate, promulgate and implement national standards. The work of preparing national standards is solely done by TBS.
The Bureau has an established national standardization system through which national standards are formulated. This system is based on the worldwide 'consensus principle' which works through the use of technical committees. These committees draw members from all stakeholder groups including industries, government ministries and institutions, research institutions, institutions of higher learning, business organizations and consumers. So far TBS has been able to finalize more than 1,500 Tanzania standards.
The finalized standards include product standards, test methods, codes of practice and codes of hygiene. The standards cover various sectors of the economy including food and agriculture, chemicals, textiles and leather, engineering, environment and general techniques.
Whenever a standard covers a product that can affect health, safety, the environment or with significant impact to the national economy, such a standard is published as a compulsory standard. All other standards are voluntary.
Technical Committees
Currently, there are eight supervisory committees commonly known as Divisional (Standards) Committees. The supervisory committees comprise of about 12 members each. Members are drawn from a cross-section of stakeholders that include the government, academia & research, manufacturers, distributors and consumers.
Under each Divisional Committee there exists Technical Committees of up to eight members which are committees of experts from a cross-section of stakeholders. In some cases, the Technical Committee may form Working Groups of about 3-4 experts that prepare the preliminary drafts. The chairpersons of all the committees are normally drawn from neutral bodies like the universities, or from the government and especially the relevant ministry. Secretaries are drawn from TBS.

We investigate a nonlinear two-stage network optimized to reduce statistical dependencies in natural images.This network serves as a model for the neural information processing in the higher visual areas of primates (visual cortices V2,V4). It is analyzed with regard to nonlinear selectivity and invariance properties. We show that the proposed network principle leads to units that are highly selective with respect to the input signal space and to units that are invariant with respect to certain stimulus classes. A special property of the system is the emergence of nonlinear frequency interactions, which are necessary for exploiting the higher-order statistical structure of natural images. We extend the concept to multi-layer systems and present some simulation results.

sliding question
Honda250rider posted a topic in General Talk - Anything Goes!Just got back last night from riding all day at a really nice place with tons of trails. My dad liked his DVX and my bike did great, but towards the end of the day, he layed down to rest on the trailer and I took his quad for a spin. I liked it much more than my bike (on trails) and found that I am much more aggressive on it since I dont have to slow down for rocks or mud like I do on my bike. I thought I might like a quad for trail riding and then just buy and sell dirt bikes for fun so I can still ride 'em. If I got one, I would want IRS because the straight axle on my dad's was really rough on the rocks. I had in mind a outlaw 500 or 525 with IRS. Is it much harder to slide around turns with IRS than a straight axle? Will it feel like it will tip a little easier? Thanks

Willie Nelson's Fourth of July Picnic is an annual concert hosted by country music singer Willie Nelson. Nelson was inspired to create the annual concert after his participation in the 1972 Dripping Springs Reunion, that was hosted at Hurlbut Ranch in Dripping Springs, Texas. As part of the lineup, Nelson performed on the third day. The event failed to meet the expected attendance due to the concert being poorly promoted.
Interested in the concept, Nelson decided to host the first annual Willie Nelson's Fourth of July Picnic in the same place, as it was already prepared to host a concert. The success of the event led to other concerts. During the late 1970s, the bad reputation of the concert for recurrent problems with safety of the audience made it difficult to find venues. During the 1980s the security improved, and the event recovered the trust of the potential venues.
Willie Hugh Nelson (born April 29, 1933) is an American musician, singer, songwriter, author, poet, actor, and activist.[1] The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed in the late 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana.
Born during the Great Depression, and raised by his grandparents, Nelson wrote his first song at age seven and joined his first band at ten. During high school, he toured locally with the Bohemian Polka as their lead singer and guitar player. After graduating from high school in 1950, he joined the Air Force but was later discharged due to back problems. After his return, Nelson attended Baylor University for two years but dropped out because he was succeeding in music. During this time, he worked as a disc jockey in Texas radio stations and a singer in honky-tonks. Nelson moved to Vancouver, Washington, where he wrote "Family Bible" and recorded the song "Lumberjack" in 1956. In 1958, he moved to Houston, Texas, after signing a contract with D Records. He sang at the Esquire Ballroom weekly and he worked as a disk jockey. During that time, he wrote songs that would become country standards, including "Funny How Time Slips Away", "Hello Walls", "Pretty Paper", and "Crazy". In 1960 he moved to Nashville, Tennessee, and later signed a publishing contract with Pamper Music which allowed him to join Ray Price's band as a bassist. In 1962, he recorded his first album, ...And Then I Wrote. Due to this success, Nelson signed in 1964 with RCA Victor and joined the Grand Ole Opry the following year. After mid-chart hits in the late 1960s and the early 1970s, Nelson retired in 1972 and moved to Austin, Texas. The ongoing music scene of Austin motivated Nelson to return from retirement, performing frequently at the Armadillo World Headquarters.
In 1973, after signing with Atlantic Records, Nelson turned to outlaw country, including albums such as Shotgun Willie and Phases and Stages. In 1975, he switched to Columbia Records, where he recorded the critically acclaimed album Red Headed Stranger. The same year, he recorded another outlaw country album, Wanted! The Outlaws, along with Waylon Jennings, Jessi Colter, and Tompall Glaser. During the mid-1980s, while creating hit albums like Honeysuckle Rose and recording hit songs like "On the Road Again", "To All the Girls I've Loved Before", and "Pancho and Lefty", he joined the country supergroup The Highwaymen, along with fellow singers Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson.
In 1990, Nelson's assets were seized by the Internal Revenue Service, which claimed that he owed US$32 million. The difficulty of paying his outstanding debt was aggravated by weak investments he had made during the 1980s. In 1992, Nelson released The IRS Tapes: Who'll Buy My Memories?; the profits of the double album—destined to the IRS—and the auction of Nelson's assets cleared his debt. During the 1990s and 2000s, Nelson continued touring extensively, and released albums every year. Reviews ranged from positive to mixed. He explored genres such as reggae, blues, jazz, and folk. Nelson made his first movie appearance in the 1979 film The Electric Horseman, followed by other appearances in movies and on television. Nelson is a major liberal activist and the co-chair of the advisory board of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), which is in favor of marijuana legalization. On the environmental front, Nelson owns the bio-diesel brand Willie Nelson Biodiesel, which is made from vegetable oil. Nelson is also the honorary chairman of the Advisory Board of the Texas Music Project, the official music charity of the state of Texas.
