John Hollenbeck: Exploring the Boundaries, Part 2-2
" During the concerts I try to talk a lot, to explain the pieces as much as I can in kind of a funny way just to make everyone at ease and try to help the audience as much as possible because I know it is new music. "
Composer/percussionist/bandleader John Hollenbeck doesn't so much cross musical boundaries as ignore them. Combining elements of jazz, classical, post rock, chamber musicalthough he is openly indifferent to musical categoryhis music manages to be challenging and experimental; at the same time, it is utterly unintimidating and accessible. Hollenbeck's sidework with a plethora of groups led by the likes of Bob Brookmeyer, Fred Hersch and Cuong Vu coexists with his own bandleading projects; perhaps the most celebrated of these is the Claudia Quintet, whose second CD, I, Claudia , was released in 2004 to widespread critical acclaim. I spoke with Hollenbeck about his playing, composing, the Claudia Quintet, and his big-band project (he dislikes the term) the John Hollenbeck Large Ensemble and its brand-new album A Blessing. This is the second part of our interview.
AAJ: Let's talk about the Claudia Quintet. First, how did you arrive at a quintet of drums, bass, vibes, accordion and mostly clarinet? Were these elements that you specifically wanted to incorporate in your group, or did it come out of the fact that those are the instruments that these guyswith whom you wanted to playplayed?
JH: It was a combination. I was definitely looking for something that I could call my own, instrumentation-wise. Then it just kind of happened within a year or so that I met these people that played these instruments that, for different reasons, I really liked playing with. And I thought, "What if I put them all together? That would be interesting. The clarinet with the accordion: that's interesting because they have a reed thing going on, and the accordion with the vibraphone: that's a nice sound. The vibraphone with the clarinet: that's something I've heard before and I like that a lot. And the acoustic bass, too. It was all just an experiment, but it was the combination of all the right people playing the right instruments. It sounded unique. Every once in a while you come upon a place and you feel like: ahhhh. I've arrived: this is me. This is my group.
AAJ: That's a good feeling.
JH: Yeah. It feels very natural, like this was just meant to be.
AAJ: A lot of Claudia songs, like, say, "Just Like Him, sound very composed in the best way, where everything interlocks and all the parts are absolutely where they have to be. You write the songs; are the arrangements also yours?
JH: Yeah. Well, half the time I come in with a finished arrangement; the other half of the time I kind of have an idea, but I change it once I hear it. Or once I hear someone do something that maybe I didn't intend for them to do, I realize it's actually much better. But I basically am arranging the music; usually it's arranged and composed at the same time.
AAJ: Is there such a thing as a Claudia Quintet song, meaning a song that you wrote specifically for this group?
JH: Oh, yeah, most of them are written for that group. Almost all of them, and then [after writing them for the quintet] I have adapted some for, say, the big band.
AAJ: Like "Abstinence.
JH: Yeah, "Abstinence, and I have a big-band version of "Just Like Him, but it's the same arrangement; it's just for big band. "Abstinence wasn't originally written for the Claudia Quintet, but ninety percent of the music we play was written just for them.
AAJ: When I was casually listening to the song "Opening, on I, Claudia , before I paid a lot of attention, the first timeit sounded terrifically modern, even electronic. The intro reminded me of Brian Eno. But as I really listened to the music I realized: the vast majority of Claudia Quintet music is completely acoustic, is it not? There's nothing on I, Claudia that can't be completely reproduced live.
JH: On that record, there's a few teeny-weeny things. Like on that piece, we put a tiny little slow filter on the accordion, and on "How Can You Get Through This Life With a Good Heart when the bass comes in towards the beginning with kind of an improv thingwe put a strange little fuzzy thing on the bass. All that stuff is carefully thought about, because it has to really make sense to do it. For the first record, I really like that when we played live, it really sounded exactly like the record. For the second record, I really went for a different thing. We really worked on getting a higher-fidelity thing happening, so there are some little tricks to help us get that. Basically though, it's acoustic. I play a couple electronic toy things, but there are no effects otherwise on everyone. On a piece like "Opening, we're emulating electronic instruments a lot. It's a reverse influence now: now acoustic musicians are influenced by electronic music.
AAJ: I'm usually pretty good at figuring out time signatures in music, but some of the Claudia Quintet stuffsome of the signatures leave me lost. I can't figure out kind of count they're in, and something like "Arabic seems especially polyrhythmic. When you and Drew Gress play together, those rhythms can get pretty intense. I am wondering how these complex rhythms affect your audience, and in general how your audience generally responds to your shows.
JH: The response is usually really, really great because, well, people tend to think the music's going to be a lot weirder and a lot less accessible than it actually is. So the responses are usually great. I was just listening to a concert we did in Santa Fe and that was like a rock concert audience; they were just going nuts, dancing, and for us that's the absolute best. It cannot get any better than that. During the concerts I try to talk a lot, to explain the pieces as much as I can in kind of a funny way just to make everyone at ease and try to help the audience as much as possible because I know it is new music. And it still might be a little scary for people. But without watering down the music, I do everything I can to make it as accessible as possible.
AAJ: Some of it may be daunting or intimidating, but that song you mentioned, "Good Heart, is a total groove where the players feel really connected and the level of locked concentration is pretty powerful. I can't imagine an audience not responding to that one.
JH: Yeah, because of the way it ends there's always a good response. But I know that the first part of that piece is difficult for some people. There's actually a Morton Feldman- type section, and a Joni Mitchell sectionthough it doesn't have that much to do with Joni Mitchellso the people who like and have heard new music like the first section. And the people who have never heard new music before like the second section. Hopefully, by blending those two elements you can kind of help people grow a little. Most of the music is very, very rhythmic, and that is a place where almost everyone can access music. If it has a groove. When we played in Brazil, I know those weren't sophisticated audiences by jazz standards, but they were great; they were totally into it because most of the music has a pretty strong groove and they can just access it from that level.
AAJ: Some guys like me waste time trying to figure out if a song is in nines or elevens, but I don't think most people do that to enjoy music and I don't think they should; I don't think I should.
JH: Well, I used to do that when I would hear Steve Coleman's stuff. Musicians do that and I still do that. I just try to do it as fast as possible and get it over with.
AAJ: Does the Claudia Quintet still have to rehearse a lot or have you reached a point where you've got a rapport without having to rehearse all the time?
JH: No, when I bring in new music it still takes a while to really get it. I think the guys in the band would say that it's just getting harder and harder. It takes them a lot less time to get the vibe of the piece, but to actually play it correctly and to get it to a place where everyone is comfortable playing itthat still takes a long time. Maybe less time in rehearsal, but we still have to play the pieces for a while to really get them feeling comfortable.
AAJ: It's not the kind of music that's going to come off well played loose.
JH: No, you can still get the general gist of it; there are some pieces that might work like that, but a lot of it's very exact. The problem is if we're playing it and it's not anywhere near where I want it to be I have a hard time just actually playing. It's better if it's somewhat like I intended.
AAJ: Just to give you an example: "A Cloud of Unknowing, also on I, Claudia. I found it reminded me of baroque music and the Modern Jazz Quartet at the same time. I've read various articles about the Claudia Quintet and this group's music reminds people of so much different stuff; do their notions of what they think it sounds likewhat kind of music it issurprise you?
JH: It doesn't really surprise me that much becausewell, I don't know why it is but people want to grab something to hold on to it. So they have to put it into a little category or place that they already know, to say, "This is like Tortoise, because they know Tortoise, and they find some similarity. But I think really it's its own thing; I was talking to Barre Phillips about ECM music. I told him that nowadays ECM music is thought of as a style. This record label's output has become stylized and codified to some extent. In the beginning, when you heard records on ECM, what could you really say? Eurojazz, or something; you couldn't really compare it to very much, it was kind of its own thing. Bill Milkowski in his review of us, wrote, "what the hell is it? That kind of sums it up.
AAJ: John Hollenbeck music.
JH: I'm really not into genres or styles so it's just eclectic; it has a little bit of everything in there and it's not really one thing.
AAJ: What's on the horizon for the Claudia Quintet? Do you have new tunes, recording plans?
JH: We just recorded a couple weeks ago. We did the new music in Europe in November and did a southeast tour, and the recording is pretty much done. The hard stuff is still to come: the mixing and all that, but it's been recorded. One thing about the Claudia Quintet is that sometimes the instrumentation of the group is kind of emphasized. A lot. And because of that, and also just to cleanse the palate we're going to go into the studio and do some very short pieces that I'm going to link to the pieces we've already recorded and in these pieces we're going to play other instruments. Not any Claudia Quintet instruments.
AAJ: Any plans to present the Large Ensemble live?
JH: I don't right now, but I am hoping the record will give us some opportunities. We've had some really nice gigs at the Jazz Standard in New York, and I would always be up for a gig there if they'd give us one. Mark Christman, in Philliewho has presented the Claudia Quintet a couple timesis writing a grant to bring us down there. I'll be applying for a gig at the IAJE convention in New York. A big band, you know, is pretty much an economic nightmare.
AAJ: Well, I had a question here that you've just answered, which is, "Is it possible to tour with big bands?
JH: Not really. If I were to win a MacArthur grant or something like that, then yes. Not at my level. The Lincoln Center Orchestra has a lot of support, so maybe they can do it. But they're one of the only ones that I know of. If you want to treat your musicians well, it's just really hard. If we were backing up Björk, well, then maybe we could. Even Maria Schneider's not doing as much as you would think with her own band; she does a festival here and there but not many tours from what I can see. And the Bob Brookmeyer band, it's just a constant struggle to get anything going on. We try and try and try and once in a while we get a little thing. A week a year is about as much as we can do. I have a second big band record that's coming out in August and that's with a band called Jazz Big Band Graz, from Austria, and we're doing some gigs in April and some in November, and I was just talking with those guys last night. It's just really hard to get any gigs with a big band and do any kind of touring. It's almost impossible but there are a few of us that are still trying.
AAJ: There is a link to Vipassana Meditation on your website. Do you practice that and does it inform your work in any way?
JH: Yeah, definitely. I wish I could do more and I will do more, but yes. When I was growing up and checking out musicians, I would hear some of them talk about meditation. After a while, I realized a lot of them had checked it out, at least, and a lot of them do it. When I teach I have this one exercise, really my core exercise, the most important exercise I give someone. It's basically teaching them how to meditate without calling it meditation and we're doing it on the drums, but it's all of the things you go through when you meditate. I think meditation is the most important thing that anyone can do. If everyone was meditating, wellshit would be different.
AAJ: You get the impression from the way things are going in the world that everybody is definitely not meditating.
JH: [Laughter.] Yeah, but you can only worry about yourself. Hopefully, I will inspire some people through the music and then maybe they'll find out about meditation through the music. Hopefully, when people hear this music they'll feel like I did when I heard John Coltrane and realizedwell, I am sure he had a sense of humor, but he's a serious dude. There is something serious going on.

Hello! I'm new on here. My name's Mo. I'm a junior in HS in South Jersey and I do distance. I started running back in August 2012 for XC and a couple months ago I started Indoor track. I know I should've started as a freshman.. or sophomore but I just couldn't find the sport I enjoyed. Now I have.
Anyway, here are times.
1600m 5:49.72 1/2013
3200m 12:43.03 1/2013
5000m 22:35.XX 9/2012
I can defiantly get the 1600m down by ten to fifteen seconds this Thursday. I know I can. I'm 100% positive.
My goal is to break 5:30 by an early Spring track meet, and ultimately break, or if anything run a sub 5:10 by the end of this season. Do you think these are reasonable goals?

Boulder >Live Theatre >
Theatres >Boulder Theater
2032 14th St, Boulder, CO | Directions 8030240.019138 -105.277208
Neighborhoods: Downtown, Central Boulder
Great comedy venue. – We attended a comedy show at the Boulder Theater and were really happy with the show and the venue. The show (Jim Gaffigan) was hysterical and the theater was very comfortable. I drove up to Boulder (from DTC) to get the tickets in person. (It?s an anti-ticketmaster thing.) The box office people were friendly and efficient. On the day of the show we enjoyed some pre-show appetizers and drinks at Cheesecake Factory on Pearl St. just steps away, then just walked right into the theater without a line or any waiting. We found great seats (general admission) and enjoyed every minute of the show. The location, venue, staff and amenities of the Boulder Theater would make any performance a great evening!
It's one of the region's finest small theaters and Boulder's best venue for live music and film. – In Short
Built in 1906, the Boulder was originally an opera house before becoming a film palace when talking motion pictures arrived. The building has undergone a number of renovations in its time, but many of its original features--including the extensive murals and artwork--are still intact. Nowadays, the theater hosts a blend of concerts, films and community events.
Cool Place – The Boulder Theater is fun. Movie theaters in the Boulder area suck especially AMCs but the Boulder theater always has good professional projection and booze!
A great theater – I also love seeing movies a the Boulder Theater. The projection is great. They always focus the movie to perfection and unlike most art houses I can actually hear the movie. Also one of my pet peves is that the lights in all movie theaters come up way to early. At the Boulder Theater the house lights don't come up until a least minute or two into the credits so you have time to digest the film and they do it every time. Great projectionists.
Great place for movies – I love seeing movies here. Although the theater is not state of the art as far as movie theaters go, the projection staff more than makes up for it. Every movie I have seen at the Boulder Theater has been perfectly projectected. Finding a theater that cares about a showing a movie properly is rare and I think I'm not overstating the Boulder Theater has the best projectionists around. I also love that you can order cocktails and beers to go with the movie.
Great Venue! – I've attended BT's jazz series for years and have never been disappointed with the facility, staff, or artists. They have a capacity for bringing in some solid performers. I really like the bar, too...they always have a cold pint (or two) of that marvelous "Twisted Pine Amber." You can't go wrong here....
"I think the Boulder theater is the best in town. They cater to a very wide range of shows. Everything from Bluegrass to Hip-hop and even down to the classic cult films where you can enjoy a fine beer."

This Is What's Left Of The Pub Where Tottenham Fans Were Attacked Last Night
Three were hospitalized in apparent anti-Semitic assault
Tottenham fans have traveled en masse to France for today's Europa League match with Lyon (12:50 p.m. ET, Fox Soccer Channel), but the festive vibe was harshed dramatically when a group of up to 50 thugs attacked the bar where many of the English fans had congregated on the eve of the match.
And it doesn't seem like the attackers are Lyon supporters, according to the BBC, which claims the men were wearing balaclavas and making Nazi salutes.
The Spurs fans said the attackers smashed doors and threw cast iron chairs, wooden objects and a flare into the Smoking Dog, a popular destination for English expats where a group of 150 had gathered to drink.
Three Tottenham supporters were taken to the hospital following the attacks, while up to 20 others required care on the scene for minor injuries.
"The front of the pub, which is made up of reinforced glass, was attacked by 20 to 25 people," sports journalist Christian Radnedge, a Tottenham fan, told BBC Radio 5. "They threw projectiles through the windows. There was a stand-off. They didn't get into the bar. Then it calmed down. [But] then they came back a second time and it all started again. There were three injured Tottenham fans taken away by ambulance. One of them had a head injury. I'm not sure how bad it was."
It marks the second time in three months that fans of the London club, which has a traditionally strong Jewish following, have been targeted in an apparent anti-Semitic attack.

"The despicable appointment boosts corporate power and shafts the public," social critic Norman Solomon writes. "Obama's frequent boast of standing up for working people against special interests tumbles, his integrity becomes laughable."
Pritzker was Obama's heavyweight fundraiser both as U.S. Senate candidate in Illinois and as a presidential candidate. She's worth $1.85 billion, one of the 300 wealthiest Americans, and heir to the Hyatt Regency hotel chain.
She is viciously anti-union, a stance that helped swell Hyatt's fortune. Offshore tax havens and $600 million in tax credits have also bolstered the Pritzker family wealth.
Investigative journalist Dennis Bernstein reported: "Her sub-prime operation for Superior Bank in Chicago targeted poor and working people of color. She ended up crashing Superior, a billion-dollar cost to taxpayers and a tragedy for the 1,400 people who lost their savings."
In 2001 the federal government recognized the fraud, fining Pritzker and her family $460 million for "predatory, deceitful and racist tactics at Superior."
Yet none of that enormous wealth and sullied record deterred President Obama. As Norman Solomon put it, paraphrasing Alice in Wonderland, he dipped into plunderland and went down the corporate rabbit hole.
Meanwhile, our noble president chose Tom Wheeler, another Obama megafundraiser, to head the Federal Communications Commission.
Former FCC commissioner Nicholas Johnson pointed out the truth: "Wheeler's background is as a trade association representative for companies appearing before the commission, a lobbyist in Congress and a venture capitalist investing in and profiting from others whose requests he will be ruling on."
Government largesse to the wealthy never ceases. Officials leave one branch of government to serve in another. They never challenge corporate power, just help enrich their pals and ignore consumers.
Zinn and unions
The late historian Howard Zinn espoused unions, not just for decent pay, but for the essentials of human dignity: a safe work environment and robust health insurance and retirement benefits.
Yet so many Americans today are anti-union and therefore anti-worker. That view is unfathomable. It is anti-democratic and anti-equality. Do they know that 4,500 American workers are killed each year on the job?
The recent tragedies in Bangladesh and the West Chemical and Fertilizer Co. in Texas cry out for unions to protect workers from death and injury.
The Texas attorney general brags about his euphemistically called "right to work" state. But the deaths in the Texas explosion suggest the "right to die" state is more appropriate.
The plant had stored 270 tons of ammonium nitrate, 1,350 times more than required to trigger Department of Homeland Security oversight.
The situation for unionless workers in Bangladesh is similar. At Rana Plaza factory owners refused to evacuate the building after huge cracks appeared in the walls. The result: 1,127 lives lost, 2,500 injured.
Bangladesh clothing manufacturers turn out cheap products by ignoring safety regulations and paying slave wages of 21 cents an hour. The capitalist way of saving money by not meeting safety codes is far more important than saving "mere" lives.
Corporate response? "Vague promises and public relations dodges," Scott Nova of the Workers Rights Consortium declares.
The conscience of shoppers at stores like Wal-Mart should be seared. The low prices they enjoy come at the cost of cheap outsourcing and plantation treatment of workers.
Jake Highton is an emeritus journalism professor at the University of Nevada, Reno.

In analyzing any of August Wilson's works, one should get down to basics -- those commonalities that recur in play after play.
First, there's the richness of the vernacular -- that folksy, funny, sagaciously idiomatic dialogue. Then there's the resilience of the characters, embattled survivors scrapping for a foothold in the American dream. Lastly, most profoundly, is the relinquishment of dreams, the characters' dawning realization that their struggles and most ardent aspirations are doomed -- by circumstance, by societal strictures or by simple human frailty.
Those three ingredients are manifest throughout the Pittsburgh Cycle -- the series of 10 plays, mostly set in Pittsburgh's Hill District, that traces the lives and fortunes of various African American characters throughout the 20th century, decade by decade. One would be hard-pressed to single out the best of the cycle. Certainly, "Jitney," Wilson's first drama, written when he still fancied himself more poet than playwright, is at the very top of the list.
Director Ron OJ Parson's near-optimum current staging at South Coast Repertory unearths the rich humor, mingled with nearly unbearable poignance, that is also typical of Wilson's work.
"Jitney," set in 1977, takes place in a run-down jitney office on the Hill, a milieu perfectly evoked in Shaun Motley's evocatively mildewed set, replete with big, fly-specked windows that look as if they haven't been washed since the 1950s.
This is very much a man's preserve, ruled over by Becker (Charlie Robinson), whose employees, clad in Dana Rebecca Woods' hilariously hideous period costumes, include Becker's staunch second-in-command, Doub (James A. Watson Jr.); humorous meddler Turnbo (Ellis E. Williams); shambling alcoholic Fielding (David McKnight); and Youngblood (Larry Bates), a Vietnam vet whose efforts to surprise his girlfriend, Rena (Kristy Johnson), with a house in the suburbs have sadly backfired. Then there's Philmore (Gregg Daniel), a hotel worker who frequently requires a cab after his latest bender, and numbers runner Shealy (Rolanda Boyce), who uses the jitney office as his de facto headquarters.
It's a bickering, boisterous group, very much an extended family, with Becker as the sternly benevolent paterfamilias. But a planned urban-renewal project may soon deprive the men of their livelihoods. And the release from prison of Becker's son, Booster (Montae Russell), once a science whiz with a full college scholarship who wound up serving 20 years for murder, reopens a Pandora's box of pain for Becker, not one to forgive or forget.
In a contemporary context of helicopter parents and tiger mothers, Becker's outright rejection of his penitent son may seem cruelly draconian, but his unbending rectitude and rage are also oddly heroic. A towering presence, Robinson gives only the occasional glimpse of the terrible effort it takes to maintain his stoical facade. It's a magnificent performance, well balanced by his fellow cast members, especially the wonderful Williams, whose deceptively uproarious character takes a sudden turn, and McKnight, whose boozy, dapper dreamer seems destined for a sad end.
Oddly stiff early on, Russell compensates for that deficit with the raw emotionalism of his subsequent scenes. And as Rena, Johnson's bandbox, Barbie-perfect appearance seems bizarrely misplaced here. She requires rumpling, and the sooner the better.

It seems that everyone is having babies lately; there seems to be a case of Baby Fever these days. Which means that one is always in need of good baby gifts to whip up! I transcribed this 1925 baby knits pattern before Audrey made her debut, and I kind of wish I had knit it up for her. But I'm sure someone else will find it useful–for either someone they know or for their own tiny babe. The pattern includes three pieces: thumbless mitts, booties and a cozy bonnet. I hope you enjoy!

Paraneoplastic syndromes occur among a small percentage of people who have cancer, but these syndromes aren't caused by cancer cells directly disrupting nerve function.
Instead, they're believed to be caused by cancer-fighting antibodies or certain white blood cells, known as T cells, that the body activates to combat the cancer. Instead of attacking only the cancer cells, these immune system agents also attack normal cells of the nervous system.
Other neurological problems may be related to cancers. For example, cancerous (malignant) tumors may develop in the brain or spinal cord, or tumors in other tissues may disrupt local nerve function. Cancers elsewhere in the body may migrate (metastasize). Malignant cells from the lungs, for example, may metastasize to the brain. Also, treatments for cancer can affect neurological function. These complications of cancer aren't considered paraneoplastic syndromes, even though they may produce similar signs and symptoms.

Islands in the stream: The extraordinary homemade dams holding back the Mississippi as desperate residents try to save their homes
More power to them.
As an aside, why do I have to go to a British newspaper to find, what I believe, a fascinating story of American ingenuity and sheers guts? Even if they fail they can take some solace in the fact that they did, literally, everything they could do to save their homes.
Shapley commented, correctly on reflection, that these people have to live near locations that are eventually going to be hazardous and some take that threat seriously.
Good on them.

Hey, I'm celebrating my 40th anniversary this summer too and LOVE Lynyrd Skynyrd! Any way I can get tickets to the Charlotte concert 7/13? It would mean the world to me! I have managed Type 1 diabetes every single day since August 1973 - through my teens, many moves and changes, two successful pregnancies (and THEIR teenage years) - and I still have both eyes, both kidneys, and both feet (and even all my toes)! I've listened to and sung along with my friends, Lynyrd Skynyrd throughout all these years, and I'd love to celebrate OUR 40th anniversary together!

Asian Deluxe
The East proved long ago that it could compete in the luxury car market. Now it's intent on setting the pace
Paul A. Eisenstein
From the Print Edition:
Alec Baldwin, May/June 2004
Were it not for the impossibly blue ocean lapping the distant shore, you might imagine yourself driving on the moon. This desolate, cratered landscape certainly doesn't resemble the travel brochures for "lush, tropical Hawaii," but a day of meandering around Maui will expose you to just about every possible climate and terrain.
It's always a challenge to find a site suitable for testing a new vehicle. Hawaii is normally not the first place that comes to mind, but it is hard to resist an offer to put the new Infiniti QX56 through its paces on this spit of volcanic rock. Over the course of a couple days, we wandered through lush tropical rain forests, foggy savannahs and barren lava fields. We even put the big ute through its paces along the hair-raising Hana Highway. "Highway" is a generous term, for this narrow, 45-mile ribbon of macadam is a true torture test, averaging two single-lane bridges, four blind turns and a dozen heart palpitations per mile.
Infiniti's interest in showing off the full-size sport-utility vehicle isn't surprising, for there's a lot riding on the QX56, the newest member in the automaker's quickly growing lineup. Recent additions, like the edgy FX45 crossover and sporty G35 sedan, helped kick-start a brand that once seemed the least likely to succeed. Indeed, it wasn't all that long ago that the pundits were predicting that the Infiniti nameplate would be abandoned by its troubled Japanese parent, Nissan Motor Co.
Then, again, if those same skeptics were right, we wouldn't be using the words "Japanese" and "luxury" in the same sentence. Yet the terms have proven to be anything but mutually exclusive. There are now three Japanese luxury car marques offered in the United States: Honda's Acura, Nissan's Infiniti and Toyota's Lexus, the division that has cruised past its U.S. and European rivals to top the high-line sales charts.
The Japanese luxury brands are no longer second-tier players. If anything, they're intent on setting the agenda for the premium market with an emphasis on comfort, quality, and customer service—as well as the environment, a green theme normally not part of the luxury automotive agenda.
Success was anything but assured when, in 1986, Honda unleashed Acura on a wary world. At the time, it was hard to tell whether the effort had more in common with Don Quixote or David and Goliath, for Acura was attempting to take on not only the well-established domestic luxury brands, Cadillac and Lincoln, but also the snooty European imports, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Jaguar. It may have seemed impossible, yet the stylish and well-engineered Acura Legend quickly struck a responsive chord with a generation of Baby Boomers who "grew up with import brands like Honda and were willing to move upmarket with them," says Sue Jacobs, a luxury car specialist with automotive consulting firm Jacobs & Associates.
Acura's aspirations were reasonably modest. It targeted the mid- and so-called "entry-luxury" segments, rather than going head-to-head with the likes of Mercedes, formidable S-Class, the pinnacle of premium motoring. Within a few years, the Japanese marque had carved out a comfortable niche and, buoyed by Acura's success, other Japanese automakers soon set their sights on the profitable and prestigious luxury segment. That included Mazda, the maverick manufacturer whose own fortunes seemed to ebb and flow like the tides. Its most expensive model, the 929, had never been more than an asterisk on the luxury sales charts, yet Mazda officials convinced themselves of the need to establish their own luxury franchise. It was a near-fatal self-deception.
The automobile maker invested quite a bit of money in what was dubbed the Amati project, developing two high-line products and building a state-of-the-art factory to produce them. Then Japan's bubble economy burst. Sales collapsed, plunging the automaker deep into the red. Mazda's U.S. affiliate, Ford Motor Co. assumed control to ensure Mazda's survival. In the process, the project was canceled.
If Amati was a fool's errand, it wasn't clear whether Lexus and Infiniti would fare much better. Both brands took the unusual step of launching in the lion's den, debuting at the 1989 Detroit auto show. After all, even with the modest success of Acura, the American and European luxury brands seemed solidly entrenched, buoyed by the increasingly affluent Reagan-era Yuppies. Yet it quickly became obvious that the timing of the Asian wannabes couldn't have been better.
"We can't buy instant credibility," Dave Illingworth, the first general manager of Lexus, acknowledged at the time, but the Japanese discovered that brand loyalty was for sale. The Germans were blinded by their own arrogance. They simply couldn't conceive of the Japanese entering and succeeding in the luxury market. They also missed factors such as shifting exchange rates, which had steadily moved in favor of the Asians. With a growing number of luxury

Bothell >Pets & Animals > Wings Of The World
18108 102nd Ave NE, Bothell, WA | Directions 9801147.760276 -122.203795
My birds love this store! – I've been a customer of Wings of the World since I was introduced to my first parrot friend about 7 years ago. The parrot and his owner are now a part of my family, and so is this store. I've since purchased two birds from them, and have boarded all three of our birds many times with them.
If you're looking for a down to earth, locally owned store that actually really loves thier birds and customers, this is the place for you. Great place to visit if you're considering adding a bird to your family. No pressure or rush - they encourage you to understand your pet and prepare your home for what will be a long term addition (many of these birds will be with you long aftter the kids leave!). Many customers come in with thier birds for trimming and socializing, so you also can often get the fun and benfits of talking to fellow bird lovers.
I almost hate to come home from vacations, because I swear my birds like to hang out there almost better than at home. Truly a great place for people and pets alike.
This little store is truly one of Seattle's treasures - check them out some Saturday morning - it's a happening place!
Best bird store in Washington – A couple of years ago, I shopped around for a companion bird for my pet budgie Buddy. I went to all the chain 'big box' pet stores, and while they dabble in birds, it's not their specialty. Some of the staff weren't very knowledgeable, and it was evident in my asking questions that I knew more from what I had researched on my own than the salesperson.
My quest eventually led me to Wings of the World, A bird store that specializes in a variety of hand raised/fed birds. The store is packed with a plethora of tropical birds--parrots of all varieties, and the popular smaller birds such as finches, budgies and cockatiels. WOTW makes and sells bird feed from scratch that you can buy in bulk. You can also buy bird cages, toys, feed cups--they even have loose stock of bird toys and materials so you can make your own!
The staff is all very knowledgeable and they answered all of my questions (and I had a lot, being a new bird owner!)
I eventually bought a hand raised baby budgie that I took home after he was weaned and eating on his own--he's quite a character-very gregarious and curious...he gets into everything and is quite playful.
WOTW always clips my bird's wings/feet when I take them in and they don't charge for this service. They remember me by name, and show a genuine passion for their work. They may not have the giant selection of the big box stores or the super cheap prices of pet supplies that you buy online, but their service and expertise cannot be matched and this enough to keep me coming back again and again. (Note: as of this writing, they are launching a new online store). They've also boarded my birds when I go on vacation, and the boarding fees are very reasonable. I will definitely buy my next bird from them.
They do not employ a on-staff Veterinarian, which is why I don't give them 5 stars. The big box stores claim their birds are all vet inspected, but I don't know how thoroughly. Being a small family store, this would probably be a big expense. (Bird owners should take their birds to the vet for an annual exam on their own)
Pay a visit to this great little store in Bothell and say hi to the staff and all the feathered friends they carry. It is a bit noisy with all the birds chirping away--some will even talk to you-It's definitely a store worth checking out!

I have an iPhone 4, 01.59.00, that has a mic issue. The caller doesn't hear me. The problem is intermittent, and when it happens I can generally tap (ie: HIT) the bottom, and it will come back to working... sometimes a tap works, other times I have to beat the hell out of it.... Anyway, I've tried to replace the dock connector, with the mic and speaker - but that didn't seem to fix it.
Because this is a 01.59.00, I don't want to exchange or anything... I would like to find a solution. Any guidance would be appreciated.

If you are going to write a story about a gargantuan lottery jackpot, you might as well go to Lump's, the corner delicatessen in Bethlehem where the owner, Lump, dispenses gobs of good luck with his egg sandwiches and potato salad.
Seven years ago, Lump — aka Dave Sanders — sold a $1 million lottery ticket to a woman named Donna Goeppert. Five months later, he sold her another one. That story made the national news and cemented Lump's reputation as the place to go for lucky numbers, and for stories about lucky numbers.
It helps that Lump is a genial and chatty man who loves to talk lotteries.
"It's just outstanding," he said Thursday morning, during a lull in selling tickets for Friday night's record lottery prize, the $540 million Mega Millions jackpot.

Yup — $540 million. A little more than half-a-billion-with-a-b. Enough money to pay for the downtown Allentown redevelopment single-handed and make an everlasting friend of Mayor Ed Pawlowski.
It's actually the annuity amount, meaning the value if you chose to have your winnings spread out in 26 annual payments. If you take the lump sum, the jackpot is $389 million, before taxes.
The drawing for the lottery, which is played in 42 states, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the District of Columbia, takes place in Georgia at 11 p.m. The winner is selected from five numbered balls drawn from a set of 56 and a single "Megaball" drawn from a set of 46.
"It makes people's dreams come true," said Lump, an avid evangelist for the Pennsylvania Lottery who keeps a statue of Gus the Groundhog on the counter of his 901 Center St. store even though that spokesmarmot — the second most famous groundhog in Pennsylvania — was retired some months ago.
People like to rub their tickets on Gus — and his girlfriend, Gabby — for luck. And it's all about luck, this lottery business. You can pick your own numbers or have a computer pick them for you, but no system in the world will make the right numbers come up.
Even Lump, despite his remarkable track record of selling winners, admits that.
"The lady who bought $500 worth of tickets, her odds are the same as the guy who bought one,"w he said.
He had both in his deli during the morning — a man who bought a single $1 ticket ("That's all I need") and a woman who bought 500 of them. Lump said the woman is a regular who lives comfortably off the money her husband left to her and spends her Social Security check on the lottery.
"When it comes to the lottery, there's no economy problem," Lump said.
Other patrons included a city worker, a tired woman who had just come off the third shift at a New Jersey drug company and a man named Stanley Ramsberger. He is an old friend of Lump's and won $10,000 on a ticket he bought from the deli last year.
"He came in when his wife was supposed to come in, so he won it," Lump said.
"And she spent it," Ramsberger said.
He bought a few tickets from some other games and then a couple of Mega Millions tickets.
He let the computer pick his numbers.
"It confuses me to pick them," he said.
Elliott Reiss came in after that. He is a 30-year-old insurance salesman who has a precise idea of what to do with a big jackpot: move to Myrtle Beach, S.C., and live on the water.
"I'm a pretty simple guy," he said, buying 50 tickets for himself and a co-worker. "I've been going there since I was 8 years old and I want to make the move."
The odds, of course, are stacked against him, and the rest of us, to the point of inanity. Odds of hitting all six numbers: 1 in 176 million. You have far better odds of being hit by lightning in a given year — 1 in 775,000, according to the National Weather Service.
But that's never been the point of the lottery. The point is dreaming about fabulous wealth — the kind of wealth that puts you in a seaside palace in Myrtle Beach, living a Jimmy Buffet life of margaritas and sunsets.
Or, for that matter, the kind of wealth that lets you retire from the deli business. Lottery dealers who sell the winning ticket get a portion of the pot. A very hefty one, in this case.
"If Lumpy sells the winning ticket, Lumpy gets $500,000," Lump said. "And Lumpy will retire."
• Odds of hitting all six Mega Millions numbers: 1 in 176 million
• Odds of being hit by lightning in a given year: 1 in 775,000

Receive your quote directly from Advanced Chemistry Development, Inc., (ACD/Labs) for ACD/NMR Predictors
ACD/NMR Predictors include predictions for the following nuclei—1H, 13C, 15N, 19F, and 31P—for 1D spectra, and 1H and 13C (and 15N) for 2D spectrum prediction. With the simple input of a chemical structure, you can predict NMR spectra in seconds. All predictors use both HOSE code and neural net algorithms to provide the most accurate chemical shifts in the prediction of spectra also taking into account stereochemistry. All NMR predictors also include full processing functionality, and the ability to train predictions with your own experimental data.
Features of the NMR Predictors
• Calculate and display accurate chemical shifts and coupling constants for 1H, 13C, 15N, 19F, and 31P
• Solvent specific prediction of 1H and 13C spectra
• Recognize tautomeric forms before prediction
• Process experimental spectra from a variety of NMR data formats
• Train the predictors with experimental data to improve prediction accuracy in novel and proprietary chemical spaces
• Automatically verify and assign experimental spectra when a structure is attached with one button click.
Benefits of the NMR Predictors
• Ease interpretation of spectra for non-routine experiments and complex structures
• Quickly verify and auto assign experimental spectra to a chemical structure
• Reduce instrument time by estimating 15N chemical shifts and narrowing down the experimental acquisition range for these experiments.
• Visualize and compare predicted and experimental spectra on the same screen
• Use the software as a teaching tool by generating simulated spectra and hiding the associated chemical structure
• Easily build a central fully searchable repository of NMR data, in the form of the User (training) Database
