Whitewater sports
This article is a travel topic
Whitewater sports are the art of bobbing about in a boat, large or small, in moving water. While whitewater kayaking or whitewater canoeing is a solo or duo sport, their close cousin whitewater rafting uses rafts that seat more people. Rafting is more accessible for the casual traveler, as navigation is handled by a professional and even beginners can come along for a white-knuckled ride.
Rapids are graded by class to indicate their rough difficulty level. The practical scale ranges from class I (no skill needed) to class V (experts only), with class VI rapids considered hazardous even to pros. Don't place too much faith on the letter though: difficulty can vary considerably based on the season and the water level, and rivers of one grade may have harder individual rapids that need to be portaged (boat carried) past.
Adventure Travel and Rafting Vacations[edit]
Rafting trips and whitewater rafting vacations have been popular for over 30 years. Some of the most remote and beautiful areas of the world can be seen during one of these adventures. There is something for everyone too. Rafting trips are not all fast, big water adventures (although some are) but some are float trips meant for wildlife viewing and nature. There are culinary rafting trips and even spiritual and yoga rafting retreats. The rafting travel industry has branched out to all demographics and travel desires.

A heart attack, or myocardial infarction, occurs when one or more regions of the heart muscle experience a severe or prolonged lack of oxygen caused by blocked blood flow to the heart muscle.
If the blood and oxygen supply is cut off severely or for a long period of time, muscle cells of the heart suffer damage and die. The result is dysfunction of the muscle of the heart in the area affected by the lack of oxygen.
Risk Factors for heart attacks include:
- Inherited or genetic risk factors are risk factors you are born with that cannot be changed, but can be improved with medical management and lifestyle changes.
- Acquired risk factors are caused by activities that we choose to include in our lives that can be managed through lifestyle changes and clinical care.

(Courtesy Sensata Workers Fighting for Their Jobs Against Bain Capital: Bainport.com)
BuzzFlash at Truthout talked today to Tom Gaulrapp who is losing his job after 33 years because Mitt Romney's Bain Capital is sending the Sensata plant where he works to China. Not only will Gaulrapp and about 170 US workers lose their jobs to low paid workers overseas, many of them – such as Gaulrapp – will have lost considerable severance payments due to Bain's acquisition of the plant from Honeywell in late 2010.
Bain Capital owns the majority shares in Sensata since 2006. According to Gaulrapp, when Sensata --under Bain Capital's "guidance" -- acquired the Freeport, Illinois, plant, the severance was dramatically reduced. Gaulrapp, for instance, will see his termination pay cut from 46 to 26 weeks when his job is phased out on November 15 – after current employees train their Chinese replacements. All the employees at the plant that "develops, manufactures, and sells sensors and controls for major auto manufacturers such as Ford and General Motors" will be let go by Christmas.
Over the past several weeks, the Sensata workers have launched an aggressive public awareness campaign. They have put pressure on Mitt Romney through a campground protest across from the Freeport plant, solicited community support, started a press release campaign, and are currently conducting a bus tour targeting outsourcers of jobs to China. The soon to be displaced employees call their encampment Bainport and maintain a website to publicize their efforts.
In a curious turn of events, after ignoring the worker protests and the imminent plant closing, the Romney campaign finally responded through a spokesperson earlier this week:
"Governor Romney has not worked at Bain Capital for over a decade, but for four years President Obama has been presiding over an economy that is creating too few jobs and sending more jobs overseas. Despite the President being invested in Sensata through his personal pension fund, and the government owning a major Sensata customer in GM, President Obama has not used his powers to help this situation in any way." — Curt Cashour, Romney Campaign Spokesman
Say what? BuzzFlash at Truthout has posted two commentaries on the Sensata workers' uprising, which Gaulrapp told BuzzFlash that unions are fully supporting even though the plant is not a union shop. But the Romney campaign's effort to blame Obama for Bain's outsourcing of jobs to China is so brazen, such a big lie, many people might think it is true.
As part of his retirement holdings, which earned him more than $20 million in 2011, Romney has a stake in the Bain Capital fund that owns Sensata, so he directly benefits from the outsourcing. What is more, as BuzzFlash at Truthout has pointed out before, Bain Capital was not only one of the pioneers in outsourcing jobs to China, it actually invested in firms in the '90s that advised companies on how to profit from moving US jobs overseas.
While Romney tries to masquerade as a job patriot -- while being a proponent of job exporting for increased personal profit -- Sensata workers in the heartland are facing holidays with limited unemployment support and severance – and not a bright future, in particular for older workers such as Gaulrapp, 54.
"Everyone should look at their own jobs and see how vulnerable they are," Gaulrapp told BuzzFlash. "We face a future of minimum wages and no benefits." That's if he and other Sensata workers can find a job of any kind after "retraining."

Franz Kafka, (born July 3, 1883, Prague, Bohemia, Austria-Hungary [now in Czech Republic]—died June 3, 1924, Kierling, near Vienna, Austria), German-language writer of visionary fiction whose works—especially the novel Der Prozess (1925; The Trial) and the story Die Verwandlung (1915; The Metamorphosis)—express the anxieties and alienation felt by many in 20th-century Europe and North America.
Franz Kafka, the son of Julie Löwy and Hermann Kafka, a merchant, was born into a prosperous middle-class Jewish family. After two brothers died in infancy, he became the eldest child and remained, for the rest of his life, conscious of his role as elder brother; Ottla, the youngest of his three sisters, became the family member closest to him. Kafka strongly identified with his maternal ancestors because of their spirituality, intellectual distinction, piety, rabbinical learning, melancholy disposition, and delicate physical and mental constitution. He was not, however, particularly close to his mother. Subservient to her overwhelming ill-tempered husband and his exacting business, she shared with her spouse a lack of comprehension of their son's unprofitable and, they feared, unhealthy dedication to the literary "recording of [his]…dreamlike inner life."
Kafka and his father
The figure of Kafka's father overshadowed his work as well as his existence. The figure is, in fact, one of his most impressive creations. In his imagination this coarse, practical, and domineering shopkeeper and patriarch who worshipped nothing but material success and social advancement belonged to a race of giants and was an awesome, admirable, but repulsive tyrant. In Kafka's most important attempt at autobiography, Brief an den Vater (written 1919; Letter to Father), a letter that never reached the addressee, Kafka attributed his failure to live, to cut loose from parental ties and establish himself in marriage and fatherhood, as well as his escape into literature, to the prohibitive father figure, which instilled in him the sense of his own impotence. He felt his will had been broken by his father. The conflict with the father is reflected directly in Kafka's story Das Urteil (1913; The Judgment). It is projected on a grander scale in Kafka's novels, which portray in lucid, deceptively simple prose a man's desperate struggle with an overwhelming power, one that may persecute its victim (as in The Trial) or one that may be sought after and begged in vain for approval (as in Das Schloss [1926; The Castle]). Yet the roots of Kafka's anxiety and despair go deeper than his relationship with his father and family, with whom he chose to live in close and cramped proximity for the major part of his adult life. The source of Kafka's despair lies in a sense of ultimate isolation from true communion with all human beings—the friends he cherished, the women he loved, the job he detested, the society he lived in—and with God, or, as he put it, with true indestructible Being.
The son of an assimilated Jew who held only perfunctorily to the religious practices and social formalities of the Jewish community, Kafka was German both in language and culture. He was a timid, guilt-ridden, and obedient child who did well in elementary school and in the Altstädter Staatsgymnasium, an exacting high school for the academic elite. He was respected and liked by his teachers. Inwardly, however, he rebelled against the authoritarian institution and the dehumanized humanistic curriculum, with its emphasis on rote learning and classical languages. Kafka's opposition to established society became apparent when, as an adolescent, he declared himself a socialist as well as an atheist. Throughout his adult life he expressed qualified sympathies for the socialists, he attended meetings of Czech anarchists (before World War I), and in his later years he showed marked interest and sympathy for a socialized Zionism. Even then he was essentially passive and politically unengaged. As a Jew, Kafka was isolated from the German community in Prague, but, as a modern intellectual, he was also alienated from his own Jewish heritage. He was sympathetic to Czech political and cultural aspirations, but his identification with German culture kept even these sympathies subdued. Thus, social isolation and rootlessness contributed to Kafka's lifelong personal unhappiness.
Kafka's double life
Kafka did, however, become friendly with some German Jewish intellectuals and literati in Prague, and in 1902 he met Max Brod. This minor literary artist became the most intimate and solicitous of Kafka's friends, and eventually, as Kafka's literary executor, he emerged as the promoter, saviour, and interpreter of Kafka's writings and as his most influential biographer. The two men became acquainted while Kafka was studying law at the University of Prague. He received his doctorate in 1906, and in 1907 he took up regular employment with an insurance company. The long hours and exacting requirements of the Assicurazioni Generali, however, did not permit Kafka to devote himself to writing. In 1908 he found in Prague a job in the seminationalized Workers' Accident Insurance Institute for the Kingdom of Bohemia. There he remained until 1917, when tuberculosis forced him to take intermittent sick leaves and, finally, to retire (with a pension) in 1922, about two years before he died. In his job he was considered tireless and ambitious; he soon became the right hand of his boss, and he was esteemed and liked by all who worked with him.
In fact, generally speaking, Kafka was a charming, intelligent, and humorous individual, but he found his routine office job and the exhausting double life into which it forced him (for his nights were frequently consumed in writing) to be excruciating torture, and his deeper personal relationships were neurotically disturbed. The conflicting inclinations of his complex and ambivalent personality found expression in his sexual relationships. Inhibition painfully disturbed his relations with Felice Bauer, to whom he was twice engaged before their final rupture in 1917. Later his love for Milena Jesenská Pollak was also thwarted. His health was poor and office work exhausted him. In 1917 he was diagnosed as having tuberculosis, and from then onward he spent frequent periods in sanatoriums.
In 1923 Kafka went to Berlin to devote himself to writing. During a vacation on the Baltic coast later that year, he met Dora Dymant (Diamant), a young Jewish socialist. The couple lived in Berlin until Kafka's health significantly worsened during the spring of 1924. After a brief final stay in Prague, where Dymant joined him, he died of tuberculosis in a clinic near Vienna.
Sought out by leading avant-garde publishers, Kafka reluctantly published a few of his writings during his lifetime. These publications include two sections (1909) from Beschreibung eines Kampfes (1936; Description of a Struggle) and Betrachtung (1913; Meditation), a collection of short prose pieces. They also include other works representative of Kafka's maturity as an artist: The Judgment, written in 1912 and published a year later; two other long stories, The Metamorphosis (published in 1915) and In der Strafkolonie (1919; In the Penal Colony); and a collection of short prose, Ein Landarzt (1919; A Country Doctor). Ein Hungerkünstler (1924; A Hunger Artist), four stories exhibiting the concision and lucidity characteristic of Kafka's late style, had been prepared by the author but did not appear until after his death.
In fact, misgivings about his work caused Kafka before his death to request that all of his unpublished manuscripts be destroyed; Brod, as his literary executor, disregarded his instructions and published the novels The Trial, The Castle, and Amerika in 1925, 1926, and 1927, respectively, and a collection of shorter pieces, Beim Bau der chinesischen Mauer (The Great Wall of China), in 1931. Such early works by Kafka as Description of a Struggle (begun about 1904) and Meditation, though their style is more concretely imaged and their structure more incoherent than that of the later works, are already original in a characteristic way. The characters in these works fail to establish communication with others, they follow a hidden logic that flouts normal everyday logic, and their world erupts in grotesque incidents and violence. Each character is only an anguished voice, vainly questing for information and understanding of the world and for a way to believe in his own identity and purpose.
Many of Kafka's fables contain an inscrutable, baffling mixture of the normal and the fantastic, though occasionally the strangeness may be understood as the outcome of a literary or verbal device, as when the delusions of a pathological state are given the status of reality or when the metaphor of a common figure of speech is taken literally. Thus, in The Judgment a son unquestioningly commits suicide at the behest of his aged father. In The Metamorphosis the son, Gregor Samsa, wakes up to find himself transformed into a monstrous and repulsive insect; he slowly dies, not only because of his family's shame and its neglect of him but because of his own guilty despair.
Many of the tales are even more unfathomable. In the Penal Colony presents an officer who demonstrates his devotion to duty by submitting himself to the appalling (and clinically described) mutilations of his own instrument of torture. This theme, the ambiguity of a task's value and the horror of devotion to it—one of Kafka's constant preoccupations—appears again in A Hunger Artist. The fable Vor dem Gesetz (1914; Before the Law, later incorporated into The Trial) presents both the inaccessibility of meaning (the "law") and humankind's tenacious longing for it. A group of fables written in 1923–24, the last year of Kafka's life, all centre on the individual's vain but undaunted struggle for understanding and security.
Many of the motifs in the short fables recur in the novels. In the unfinished Amerika, for example, the boy Karl Rossmann has been sent by his family to America. There he seeks shelter with a number of father figures. His innocence and simplicity are everywhere exploited, and a last chapter describes his admission to a dreamworld, the "nature-theatre of Oklahoma"; Kafka made a note that Rossmann was ultimately to perish. In The Trial, Joseph K., an able and conscientious bank official and a bachelor, is awakened by bailiffs, who arrest him. The investigation in the magistrate's court turns into a squalid farce, the charge against him is never defined, and from this point the courts take no further initiative. But Joseph K. consumes himself in a search for inaccessible courts and for an acquittal from his unknown offense. He appeals to intermediaries whose advice and explanations produce new bewilderment; he adopts absurd stratagems; squalor, darkness, and lewdness attend his search. Resting in a cathedral, he is told by a priest that his protestations of innocence are themselves a sign of guilt and that the justice he is forced to seek must forever be barred to him. A last chapter describes his execution as, still looking around desperately for help, he protests to the last. This is Kafka's blackest work: evil is everywhere, acquittal or redemption is inaccessible, and frenzied effort only indicates an individual's real impotence.
In The Castle, one of Kafka's last works and also unfinished, the setting is a village dominated by a castle. Time seems to have stopped in this wintry landscape, and nearly all the scenes occur in the dark. K. arrives at the village claiming to be a land surveyor appointed by the castle authorities. His claim is rejected by the village officials, and the novel recounts K.'s efforts to gain recognition from an authority that is as elusive as Joseph K.'s courts. But K. is not a victim: he is an aggressor, challenging both the petty, arrogant officials and the villagers who accept their authority. All of his stratagems fail. Like Joseph K., he makes love to a servant, the barmaid Frieda, but she leaves him when she discovers that he is simply using her. Brod observes that Kafka intended that K. should die exhausted by his efforts but that on his deathbed he was to receive a permit to stay. There are new elements in this novel. It is tragic, not desolate. While the majority of Kafka's characters are mere functions, Frieda is a resolute person, calm and matter-of-fact. K. gains through her personality some insight into a possible solution of his quest, and, when he speaks of her with affection, he seems himself to be breaking through his sense of isolation.
Kafka's stories and novels have provoked a wealth of interpretations. Brod and Kafka's first English translators, Edwin Muir and his wife, Willa, viewed the novels as allegories of divine grace. Existentialists have seen Kafka's environment of guilt and despair as the ground upon which to construct an authentic existence. Some have seen his neurotic involvement with his father as the heart of his work. Others have emphasized the social criticism, the inhumanity of the powerful and their agents, the violence and barbarity that lurk beneath normal routine. Some have found an imaginative anticipation of totalitarianism in the random and faceless bureaucratic terror of The Trial. The Surrealists delighted in the persistent intrusions of the absurd. There is evidence in both the works and the diaries for each of these interpretations, but Kafka's work as a whole transcends them all. One critic may have put it most accurately when he wrote of the works as "open parables" whose final meanings can never be rounded off.
But Kafka's oeuvre is also limited. Each of his works bears the marks of a man suffering in spirit and body, searching desperately, but always inwardly, for meaning, security, self-worth, and a sense of purpose. Kafka himself looked upon his writing and the creative act it signified as a means of "redemption," as a "form of prayer" through which he might be reconciled to the world or might transcend his negative experience of it. The lucidly described but inexplicable darkness of his works reveal Kafka's own frustrated personal struggles, but through his powerless characters and the strange incidents that befall them the author achieved a compelling symbolism that more broadly signifies the anxiety and alienation of the 20th-century world itself.
At the time of his death, Kafka was appreciated only by a small literary coterie. His name and work would not have survived if Brod had honoured Kafka's testament—two notes requiring his friend to destroy all unpublished manuscripts and to refrain from republishing the works that had already appeared in print. Brod took the opposite course, and thus the name and work of Kafka gained worldwide posthumous fame. This development took place first in France and the English-speaking countries during the regime of Adolf Hitler, at the very time when Kafka's three sisters were deported and killed in concentration camps. After 1945 Kafka was rediscovered in Germany and Austria and began to greatly influence German literature. By the 1960s this influence became global and extended even to the intellectual, literary, and political life of Kafka's place of birth, what had become communist Czechoslovakia.

I caught most of Sen. Marco Rubio's speech at CPAC this morning, and it was very well received. Based on that alone, I'd be tempted to agree with his categorization as a "CPAC darling." He's rumored to be on the short list for VP, though he says he's not interested. Of course, it probably didn't hurt that Rubio appeared at CPAC the same day he introduced legislation that could cut off contraceptive coverage for millions. That seemed to the issue that roused conservatives the most at CPAC. (I actually, I heard more about contraception from speakers than I did about gay marriage — or job creation.)
But apparently Rubio's contraceptive bill wasn't enough to endear him to everyone at CPAC.
As I was tossing out the remains of my lunch, I noticed a stack of flyers sitting on an end table. Covering a conference like CPAC includes picking up literature, since one never knows what might yield content. I read it, and quickly realized it wasn't like the other literature available at CPAC.
There's logo and no organization's name or individual's name on it. So who it came from is anybody's guess.
My guess is that someone who was still miffed with Rubio for his speech at the Hispanic Leadership Network conference, where he took the GOP to task for the tone of the immigration debate, opened up a laptop, copied and pasted the quotes into a Word document, created this flyer, printed it up at the hotel business center, and spread it around.

Money Taken in Bank Robbery Sought [AUDIO]

A suspect has been arrested in connection with a bank robbery in Casper last week, but the search for the money continues. Kevin Koile has details. Click past jump to listen to Wyoming Radio News.

Socialite and it-girl Peaches Geldof recently revealed on her Twitter that she's a disciple of Ordo Templi Orients (OTO), a secret sex cult founded by Aleister Crowley, a turn-of-the-century English occultist who called himself "the beast, 666." Geldof has a tattoo of the acronym inside a heart inked on her arm.
I have to admit, I've now heard enough bullsh*t about Xenu and aliens and Kabbalah beads to last a lifetime. Celebrities would worship tuna melts or Grover from Sesame Street as long as it was expensive, exclusive and obscure enough for them to seem super-informed.
But just when Scientology seemed the peak of the celebrity-endorsed religious craze, now we're introduced to OTO, an even more bizarre sex-based religion favored by the rich and famous, according to The Daily Mail. It's kind of… well, it's, uh, Satanism. John Travolta and his hairplugs aren't looking so weird now, huh? (Oh, he still does? Okay, yeahhh, I agree.)
Among the other celebrities taken in by Crowley's snake-oil are Led Zeppelin band member Jimmy Page and, supposedly, Jay-Z; Hova's Rocawear line apparently contains a number of OTO symbols, and he's consistently been rumored to have an involvement with the Illuminati.
One historical hallmark of OTO was are "sadomasochistic sex rituals," "the use of hard drugs, including opium, cocaine, heroin and mescaline and "raising malevolent gods" (a.k.a. Beyoncé after she finds out that Jay-Z's been doing mescaline and having sadomasochistic sex with Peaches Geldof and Jimmy Page).
However, we should take all of this with a grain of salt. Peaches Geldof, in particular, is the kind of religious dilettante one sees a lot of in Hollywood (Scientology one week, Judaism the next week, etc.), so she might not even know anything about OTO other than she thinks the symbols are cool. When one Twitter follower asked her how to get involved with the belief system, she shared a list of Crowley's books and called them "super interesting."
Just be careful, guys. I mean, haven't you ever seen The Craft?

The Treasury announced on April 6 that the chief executives of AIG, Ally Financial and General Motors would have their compensation packages frozen for a second year in a row, essentially keeping their compensation at 2011 levels.
The compensation freeze arose out of the 2007-2009 financial crisis when the government injected taxpayer-financed funds into the companies as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP).
AIG's top executive will receive total direct compensation (a mix of cash, stock and future stock option) of $ 10.5 million while Ally Financial's leader will receive $9.5 million and GM's chief executive will receive $ 9 million.
The Treasury also announced that total direct compensation during 2012 for 69 other senior executives at the three companies was being cut by 10 percent from 2011 levels. The group of 69 is comprised of the five senior executive officers and the next 20 most highly compensated employees (based on 2011 compensation) at the three companies without six departures that took place since Jan. 1, 2012.
The three companies were part of a larger group of seven companies that were deemed by the Treasury to have received "exceptional" assistance; in response to populist anger at high-pay and huge bonuses at bailed-out firms, the Obama administration created a "special master's office" to oversee pay practices at exceptional firms. Four of the original seven—Bank ofAmerica, Citigroup, Chrysler Financial and Chrysler—have repaid their TARP money and left the program.

Interview Date: 03/13/2008
Run Date: 04/09/2009
Music Home / Entertainment Channel / Bullz-Eye Home
Sure, it's gotta be pretty weird to grow up with the knowledge that your dad was "The Quiet One" in the world's most popular band, but let's not count out how bizarre it probably was for Oli Hecks to know that his best friend's father had been a Beatle. Even so, Dhani Harrison has proven to be a heck of a musical comrade for Hecks. The two of them are the core of thenewno2. In the wake of the release of their new album, You Are Here , Hecks spoke with us about how "Rock Band" has proven to be a heck of a marketing tool, where his group's name came from, and what kind of expectations he has for their record in today's economic climate.
Oli Hecks: Hey, is that Will?
Bullz-Eye: Yes, it is.
OH: Hi, this is Oli Hecks from thenewno2.
BE: Hey, how are you doing?
OH: Very good. How are you?
BE: Not bad.
OH: Good. So I was told to give you a buzz…
BE: Yeah, absolutely. So how did you and Dhani meet up for the first time? I'm not really familiar with the full background of the band.
OH: Oh, okay. Well, we met up initially just as childhood friends, really. We've known each other since we were, like, 15. So since then, we have been kind of playing music and jamming, and then started doing this thing, really. So, yeah, a long time. Like, 15 years or more.
BE: So when you first started playing music together, did you actually think in terms of, "One of these days we're going to have a band," or was it just something to do for fun at the time?"
OH: I think initially it was to do with fun. We were just working out…we started to realize we both really had similar taste in music. I think that's really what made us decide, "Hey, we can do something with it," because we did have a really sort of common interest in terms of the type of music we liked. Then we started to realize we had the same interest in the kind of music we liked to make. So I think that's what triggered it: the way we saw totally eye to eye on that. And then, obviously, just playing more and more together. And then, yeah, it kind of just carried itself, and then I think it was really after university that we decided to have a go at it and start trying some recordings, see how it goes, and see if we could get a good sound going.
BE: So here's the old standby: who would you say are your personal musical influences?
OH: It's pretty wide range. It could go from anything. Old rock and roll, like Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, Chuck Berry. All that stuff, I love that stuff. Buddy Holly. And then everything up to Cream, Jimi Hendrix, you know, Led Zeppelin, The Who, all that stuff. And then the big influence of music, I think, is also the Bristol sound from England in the 90's. The sort of Massive Attack, Portishead and Tricky and a bunch of trip-hop stuff that was going on at that time, we were always into. So there's kind of influences from everything. Also stuff like indie music. Obviously, the Beatles as well are in there. So, really, just a whole range.
BE: When I was listening to it…well, it's definitely not what you would call overtly pop.
OH: Yeah, it's kind of hard to define it, but, yeah, it's not straight down the line, that's for sure. But it's not so far left that it's unintelligible. It's somewhere in the middle of that.
BE: I understand that the name of the band comes courtesy of "The Prisoner."
OH: Yes, that's right.
BE: Which as it happens, they've just remade for AMC. so it's good timing with that.
OH: Oh, they are? I didn't know that
BE: Yeah. Ian McKellen is going to play Number 2.
OH: Oh, wow. Okay, cool. I'll have to look it up.
BE: All I've seen is clips, but it looks good.
OH: Oh that's good. Cool.
BE: So which of you came up with the name? Were you a "Prisoner" fan?
OH: Dhani came up with that one. At the time, we had been watching a lot of it. We caught a bunch of "Prisoner" episodes on DVD, the whole collection. On and off for a few years we always watched them. We watched it also with friends, and we all kind of got into it, and then that's when I think he got the idea for the name. That was a long time ago, but, yeah, it definitely came just from sitting around watching it a lot, really.
BE: And it just stuck over the course of time?
OH: Yeah it stuck, and also it looked good written down, because we wrote it out. That's why we left out the dot after the "no" and then the 2. Also because then the website would be dot 2 dot com, and it's just kind of awkward. It always looked good written just all lower case, so that kind of helped cement it, I think.
BE: And then based on Wikipedia, which is always 100% accurate…
OH: Yeah, of course.
BE: …you designed the website.
OH: Yeah, that's right. The initial one, and then it's been a little bit updated. But, yeah, I designed the website and did the art work for it. We do all our album art work, which I did the recent cover and videos, too. So, yeah, there's a big visual side to stuff that we do.
BE: And you guys were credited with the Beatles' Love, the album design for George's Brainwashed, and things like that. Was that the two of you together doing that?
OH: Yeah, that was both of us. We shot the album cover and we did all the packet design for that thing. And we've done other stuff for…after that, we did a lot of DVD mini designs for stuff like "The Concert for George." We worked on the packet design for that, also. And also the box set that they came out with, his Dark Horse Years, we designed all that. So we did a bunch of that around the time that we started recording. So we were kind of doing graphic work and music at the same time.
BE: And you guys have been recording for awhile now. I mean, I know that the first EP came out back in 2006.
OH: Yeah. We've been recording for awhile, and before the EP, we had done a bunch of recordings of some other songs, and then we kind of settled on those four for the EP. Then after that, we had a period of writing a lot and recording on our laptops and then bringing it together. Eventually, that became the session for the record. So, yeah, we've be doing recording on and off for quite awhile. Yeah, definitely.
BE: So how did the album You Are Here do when it was first released in the UK? I guess it came out over there first, and then was released here.
OH: Um, I think it's been pretty positive. All the feedback that we've had has been positive, really. Surprisingly. I think I read like one negative thing that just said, "Gay, gay, gay, gay." That's the only sort of message that I have seen that is negative. Everything else has really, really positive, which is great. Everyone has been pretty nice in the reviews. We haven't had anything bad yet, which is great. So, yeah, it's been really, surprisingly good all around.
BE: How much of the whole "George Harrison's son" aspect have the reviews centered on? I mean, is it pretty heavy?
OH: Yeah, they definitely touch on that. But, actually, it's been good, because they sort of touch on it, but then they do also…surprisingly, a lot of the interviews actually have talked about the music and how it is sort of setting it apart from that whole stigma attached to it. Because how the music is so different from what you would expect, or most people would expect him to play because who his dad is, because it is so different from that. I think people have recognized that ,which is nice.
BE: Yeah, I was talking to our music editor actually yesterday, as I was listening to the album and just telling him that it's not consistently that you ever really even think of the similarity between Dhani and his dad. I think "Crazy Tuesday" is where I really heard it the most.
OH: Oh, definitely. Yeah, I think there's bits where obviously his voice can get really similar. That's just like the genetics, I guess, of him being his dad. But, yeah, you can definitely hear it in his voice at times, I'm sure.
BE: The physical resemblance is downright spooky, I'm not going to lie to you.
OH: Exactly. There are moments where it's like that, for sure. Definitely. I can hear it, too.
BE: I know you've known him for ages, but how weird was it for you to grow up knowing that your best mate's dad was a Beatle? It's got to be bizarre.
OH: Yeah, well, I always knew because we knew of each other since we were really young, but we never really met until we were older. So I was always aware of it through a mutual friend. I had really brief encounters when I was younger, but we never really sort of became friends until we were teenagers. So not that you get used to it, but it was never…because it was introduced at such a young age, it was never sort of a huge impact. And then, obviously, just knowing him, he was really down to earth and normal, anyway. He always sort of played it down, so I never really sort of got totally knocked back by it, even though it is a major thing, you know, the Beatles and everything. It just sort of became, you know, "He's just my friend's dad," really. It's not a point once we hung out a lot. Yeah, that's kind of how I look at it' really. But you can't deny the fact that he was in the Beatles, obviously. There's all sorts of ways of looking at it.
BE: Actually, I brought up "Crazy Tuesday" a minute ago, and that was one of the free download songs for "Rock Band 2. "How did you guys get involved in that, and how much interest do you guys have in the business side of things?
OH: In terms of "Rock Band"?
BE: In general, I guess, but…were you guys actively, personally trying to get involved with the game?
OH: Yeah, that was Dhani that got in touch with those guys, and then he's been developing something with them. But the whole business side is…definitely we're involved with everything. Any sort of thing like that that happens, we're involved with. So, yeah, that's been great having the song in that. That was fun. We played it, and I remember the first time I played it with Dhani, and he only got…we put it on, like, "expert," because it's our song, we figured we would be pretty good at it. I think Dhani only got like 65% on the vocal…which is pretty funny for an expert. But, really, it's great having that, and that's definitely something that, business-wise and just strategy-wise, is trying to get the music out on that label. Opportunities like that are definitely not to be passed up. It's really the growing thing that's happening, and it's a great way to get music to kids, and interactive, I think, is the way everything is going. We're definitely always open to all of that stuff. I think it's the way it's really going.
BE: Are you guys going to be touring behind the album? I know you did a date on Conan O'Brien's show.
OH: Yeah, I think so. We did Conan O'Brien. We're going to do Coachella, which is the next thing coming up, and that's in April. Then we're doing Lollapalooza, and I think between Coachella and Lollapalooza we'll probably be going on tour of some kind. That's the plan. So it would definitely be a summer tour of some sort, which we're all kind of looking forward to. It will be good.
BE: Excellent. Now, given the industry, what are your expectations for the album?
OH: I think it's going to be interesting to see how it goes this year because the album is out and it's all up to fate. It's going to be interesting once we do go on tour and get to play and see more people. It's going to be interesting to see what happens this year and if it takes off. You know, how people respond to it. It's hard to tell. The fans that we've actually managed to pick up so far seem to be incredibly loyal and really, really into it. The ones that we've built mostly through the internet. So I think, from that feedback, that can really help it to grow to by word of mouth. I think once you have even a small fan base, it's amazing how they really want to help and they put it all over the internet and help. They really want to post it everywhere. So I think it will grow this year, for sure. I'm pretty confident. But it's going to be hard to say, though. You never know. I think this year is definitely going to be a push forward, just from having played on Conan and playing a couple of festivals and doing a tour. This is definitely a step up from last year. And with the album coming out digitally…it's going to come out on CD at the end of this month, so we're trying to support it and boost it all after that. I don't know. It's going to be interesting. I'm not sure exactly how far it will go, but hopefully as far as it can.
BE: Alright, well, it's been a pleasure talking to you, man. Like I said, I'm certainly hopeful for the success in the States, but don't give up after the first album. Lord knows around here it takes awhile to build some headway.
OH: Yeah, exactly.
BE: Cool, man. Well, good luck with it.OH: Alright. Thanks a lot, Will. Take it easy.

Litigation Release No. 19574 / February 23, 2006
SEC v. Edward S. Digges, Jr.; Nexstar Communications, LLC; TMT Equipment Company, LLC; TMT Management Group, LLC; POSA, LLC; POSA TMT, LLC; Televest Communications, LLC; Televest Group, LLC and Spin Drift, LLC; Civil Action No. 6:06-CV-137-ORL-19-KRS (MD Fla.)
The Securities and Exchange Commission announced today that the Honorable Patricia C. Fawsett, United States District Judge for the Middle District of Florida, entered an order permanently enjoining Edward S. Digges, Jr. (Digges), Nexstar Communications, LLC (Nexstar), TMT Equipment Company, LLC (TMT Equipment), TMT Management Group, LLC (TMT Management), POSA, LLC (POSA), POSA TMT, LLC (POSA TMT), Televest Communications, LLC (Televest Communications), Televest Group, LLC (Televest Group), and Spin Drift, LLC (Spin Drift) (collectively "defendants"). The order restrained and enjoined Digges, Nexstar, TMT Equipment, TMT Management, POSA, and POSA TMT from future violations of Sections 5(a), 5(c) and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The order further enjoined the defendants from aiding and abetting violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The order also appointed a receiver for Nexstar, TMT Equipment, TMT Management, POSA, POSA TMT, Televest Communications, Televest Group, and Spin Drift, LLC, and imposed other relief. The defendants consented to the order without admitting or denying any of the allegations of the Commission's Complaint.
The Complaint alleged that since April 2003, the defendants fraudulently sold to approximately 278 investors at least $15 million in securities consisting of an investment in which investors purchased a point-of-sale credit card terminal from one of the defendants and then leased the terminal to another defendant purportedly for placement in a retail store to generate service fee revenue. To sell the investments, Digges represented to the salespeople, and through them to investors, that these obligations were "assured," and that he would maintain a "reserve fund" to cover six months of monthly lease payments and a "sinking fund" to cover the eventual repurchase of the terminals. The Complaint alleged that Digges had no basis to assure investors of either their lease payments or the repurchase of the terminals. Since at least January 2004, the defendants' operation of the leased terminals has run a deficit, and the defendants never created or maintained a reserve fund or a sinking fund. Further, in an attempt to conceal his criminal record, Digges omitted his name from offering materials and falsely portrayed to potential investors that the venture was managed by individuals who had only nominal roles. Digges also failed to disclose that, since April 2003, the state securities commission of Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Ohio have issued orders finding that one or more of his entities violated state securities laws by participating in the offering, and the Maryland order found that the offering involved fraud.
