From RarePlantStore.com "We have collected an extensive variety of suppliers and growers of rare and unusual plants during the 27 years our garden center has been in business. Our retail business is located near a service station in a much visited nook of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Over the years, while fueling their vehicles, many people, from all over the United States, have come to our garden center to visit and stretch their legs. The most often heard remark from these visitors is some version of "I can't believe the selection you offer here. Our local garden center closed and now all the big box chains offer the same few plants." We knew we had quite a selection, but we didn't know how unusual our offerings were. So we started looking online to discover that we had many selections that were not available or could offer the ones that were at a better price..

Nature's Mountain Snowpack "Reservoir" Still Lacking; Third Manual Survey Confirms Shrinking Water Content
Posted by: thepinetree on 03/04/2015 07:53 AM
Sacramento, CA...The Sierra Nevada snowpack, which Californians rely on heavily during the dry summer months for their water needs, continues to disappoint this winter. Despite the snowfall in the Sierra Nevada Range over the weekend that gladdened ski and snowboard enthusiasts, it was not enough to offset weeks with no snow at all. Today's manual survey by the Department of Water Resources (DWR) at the Phillips snow course in the mountains 90 miles east of Sacramento found 0.9 inches of water content in the snow, just 5 percent of the March 3 historical average for that site. Electronic readings by the Department of Water Resources (DWR) today indicate the water content of the northern Sierra snowpack is 4.4 inches, 16 percent of average for the date. The central and southern Sierra readings were 5.5 inches (20 percent of average) and 5 inches (22 percent) respectively. Statewide, 103 electronic sensors found today's snow water equivalent to be 5 inches, 19 percent of the March 3 multi-decade average. When DWR conducted the season's first two manual surveys on December 30 and January 29, the statewide water content was 50 percent and 25 percent respectively of the historical averages for those dates. The snowpack's water content this year is historically low for early March. Only in 1991 was the water content of the snowpack lower – 18 percent of that early-March average. Manual surveys of 180 snow courses this year reveal even less water content – just 13 percent of the early-March average, the lowest in DWR's records for this time of year. The difference between electronic and manual surveys is explained by the higher elevation of most electronic sensors, where they receive more snow than manyof the lower-elevation snow courses...

Frogtown, USA...Whiskerino Dinner and Dance- April 11. The Friends of the Calaveras County Fair and the Junior Livestock Committee are hosting a Hoe-down, Show-down. The Whiskerino Dinner Dance is planned for April 11. The dinner dance will be the official kick-off event leading up to the Calaveras County Fair & Jumping Frog Jubilee May 14-17. The Whiskerino has a fine historic tradition in Calaveras County. Although the Whiskerino dates back to the 1940s it was revitalized in the 1950's and held for the next forty years. In 1955 Bob Petithome, Angels Camp resident, won the award for best full beard. He says the best part of the event was seeing "all the slick chins" try to grow beards. The event marked the month long Jubilee . Originally held at the Gun Club adjacent to the Fairgrounds, men and women donned their best gold rush attire. However the biggest draw was the actual whisker competitions....

Washington, DC...Hi everybody. In America, we believe that a lifetime of hard work and responsibility should be rewarded with a shot at a secure, dignified retirement. It's one of the critical components of middle-class life – and this week, I took new steps to protect it. Six years after the crisis that shook a lot of people's faith in a secure retirement, our economy is steadily growing. Last year was the best year for job growth since the 1990s. All told, over the past five years, the private sector has added nearly 12 million new jobs. And since I took office, the stock market has more than doubled, replenishing the 401(k)s of millions of families...

I've certainly enjoyed reading your articles in the trade press over the years. I just bought a CM-311AE without understanding that it wasn't fully terminated. I need a way to rig power to it so it can be used in a wired configuration. I could use a 9V battery.
John Etnier, Studio Dual
I have a CM-311AE headworn mic with a mini XLR connector. How can I use it with my DJ mixer?
Frederick Hart Entertainment
Reply: To run the CM-311AE or CM-312AE off a 9V battery, you need a 9V battery clip, a 1/4" mono phone plug, a 4.7 microfarad electroytic capacitor, and a Radio Shack 1/4"-jack-to-A3M XLR plug adapter/transformer (part no. 274-017). Frederick, remove the mini XLR connector. The wiring to convert a CM-311AE to hard-wired is shown below. Plug the phone plug into the Radio Shack adapter/transformer (impedance-matching adapter). Plug the XLR end of that adapter into your mic input with phantom power turned off.
In the diagram, you can replace the 9V battery with a 9V DC power supply. Many of these supplies are not filtered well to prevent hum. Here's a filter circuit you could add to the 9V DC supply to reduce its hum:

quote:If you can't see the distinction, then that is a morality problem, not an intellectual one.
quote:Federal employees whining--
quote:private sector leeches
quote:AIG Auto Industry
quote:They became leeches precisely when THE GOVERNMENT went into partnership with them.
quote:At this exact moment in history YOUR GRANDCHILDREN are bailing out present day GOVERNMENT LEECHES. A little outrage now, maybe ?
quote:Maybe I'm misreading something, but how does this not strike you guys as condescending
quote:More and more it looks like the "government elites" vs. the private sector in America.
quote:I don't see anyone on here or in media lambasting them or the officials who allowed it.
quote:The implication was that people in the government don't know what the real world's like, as though it's some mysterious place where only the boldest and most competent survive economic downturns, whereas in the government you can show up and do shite for 20 years with no negative consequences.
quote:It's a simple statement: if you're a federal employee, then that's the situation you chose to be in. You chose to be in a position that, while it might not necessarily pay as much as comparable private sector work, afforded you a level of job security you probably couldn't get in private industry. And that's fine. You gotta look out for you because nobody else will.
quote:don't look to those of us who have been at risk all along in private industry for a whole lot of sympathy. It's a tough world and decisions have consequences.
quote:Wait. Wut ? Pay attention bro. This board went APE shite.
quote:I'm not sure I can keep doing this...
quote:I don't know your particular circumstances, but I'm sure that, being a private sector guy, you wouldn't simply shrug your shoulders and hold your chin up if you got a paycut or a layoff.
quote:Again, I don't understand the implication that they don't understand the situation that they are in
quote:Of course he would. He works in the private sector so naturally he's used to such things happening to him and is better for it.
quote:My father is a Federal employee. He started with next to nothing in terms of salary almost 30 years ago. For nearly 30 years he worked his arse off and rose through the ranks. He wasn't an arse kisser, he didn't talk his way into promotions, he worked his way into them. Now he brings home six figures. Yeah...he didn't do it in the private sector, but how is what he did and what he went through any different from what an ordinary Joe does out there in a non-government job?

Every day at the museum is a good day, but when a new object-specimen gets added to the collection, it is a great day. It was a particularly stellar day in Earth Sciences when we were able to acquire this lovely princess cut, 23.24 carat peridot from Myanmar (Burma).
ROM Earth Scientists receive dozens of requests each year to identify possible meteorites. This is especially the case when there is a spectacular fireball similar to the one which recently streaked across southern Ontario on December 12 of this year (the video was captured by astronomers at the University of Western Ontario). Do you think you have found a space rock?
They organized extravagant spectacles, each more lavish than the next. They built imposing monuments, ever larger to outdo their predecessors and rivals. Over centuries, the Maya leaders elevated themselves far above their subjects. Yet in the end, these all-powerful rulers were caught in a trap of their own making.

The November 16 media preview for Maya: Secrets of their Ancient World was an auspicious debut for this exciting international effort.
The Globe & Mail, National Post, Toronto Star, and numerous CBC television and radio shows, both English and French, were among the 60+ different media outlets attending the morning event. The city's Spanish-language journalists were also well-represented among the approximately 125 guests.

Today, Caleb Brown and colleagues announced the discovery of Canada's newest dinosaur, Thescelosaurus assiniboiensis – the first new dinosaur species to be discovered in Saskatchewan since 1926. The new dinosaur is named after the historic District of Assiniboia, where it was found. The small-bodied, two-legged plant-eater lived alongside the famed Tyrannosaurus rex and Triceratops, at the very end of the age of dinosaurs.

There is an incredible amount of work that happens behind-the-scenes in preparing for every exhibition. Some of that work is eventually obvious to the visitors such as the design, mounts, graphics and labels but a lot of the work is largely invisible.

Episode Information
Last year i got hooked on an Irish writer named Tana French. Reading her second book, "The Likeness," I found myself struggling - just a little - with its major plot point. That there could be two people who so closely resembled each other that one could step into the other's identity and fool the people who knew her best.
But maybe it's not that big a stretch. And it's certainly not all that new or uncommon in literature, as you'll hear later in the show today.
But even in our own lives, it's not that uncommon to hear about one's own double or to meet the double of someone else one knows.
And I'm not talking about strong resemblances.
I'm talking about those shocking moments in which Person A looks so much like Person B that it creates genuine and often spooky confusion in other people. The fact that it happens will raise some pressing questions on today's show.
You can join the conversation. Leave your comments below, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or Tweet us @wnprcolin.
Too bad, so sad, that I missed your show about doubles. For some reason, doubtless having something to do with quantum physics, WNPR's streaming web-cast only works well in the morning. As an identical twin I am always interested in the topic of doubles … my brother and I have some great stories about swapping places. I am also intrigued by the idea of entangled particles, that is an important part of quantum physics. It is important to remember, however, that although an elegant theory that explains much about the machinations of the real world, and with some bodacious real-world applications, there are some gapping holes in the empirical evidence to support the theory. As with the concept of Yen/Yang, perhaps there is more truth, than fact, in quantum physics.

The gang arrives at the Great Divide, the world's largest canyon. Two Earth Kingdom tribes bicker with each other about how to cross the canyon, having been enemies for a century. Aang helps them cross the canyon together and is able to end the feud by fabricating a story about their ancestors.
Katara and Sokka are arguing over how to set up their campsite, with Aang ending the fight and gloating about his ability to solve problems as the Avatar. The next day, they travel to the Great Divide, the largest canyon in the entire world. Aang and his friends plan to cross the canyon by flying across on Appa. Just before they leave, however, a man runs up to them and warns that Aang and his friends better not leave with the guide to cross the canyon, because he was there first. The team discovers that he is holding a spot for the rest of his tribe, the Gan Jin, until they arrive. While waiting, another tribe, the Zhang, arrive, which the man claims has been an enemy of his tribe for a hundred years. The Gan Jin tribe arrives neat, prim, and proper in manner, while the Zhang tribe is dirty and barbaric. The canyon guide, an earthbender, subsequently comes, and both tribes begin to argue over who should be escorted first: the Zhangs say that they should because they have sick people, while the Gan Jins say that they should because they have old people weary from travel. While Aang is unsure about whether he should get involved, Katara informs the tribes of Aang's status as the Avatar and gets the team involved. Aang halfheartedly proposes a compromise, suggesting that Appa carry their sick and elderly across while the two tribes travel together across the canyon, to which both tribes agree.
The canyon guide warns them not to take any food into the canyon, as food attracts dangerous predators in the canyon. The two tribes, the gang, and the guide begin their descent to the canyon floor. After the guide breaks a rock shelf so that potential Fire Nation soldiers cannot follow them, a canyon crawler attacks. Aang and his friends fend it off, but not before it breaks both of the guide's arms, disabling his earthbending abilities and therefore imprisoning all of them in the canyon. Both tribes begin to argue again and finally decide to split up. It is revealed later that night that both tribes brought food into the canyon because they believed that the other tribe must have brought it in as well, justifying their actions by stating that they should not go hungry while the other tribe eats. Katara and Sokka each learn one side of the story of the feuding tribes. The Gan Jins tell Katara that the forefather of their tribe, Jin Wei, was attacked while transporting a sacred orb during their redemption ritual by a thief, Wei Jin, from the Zhangs. The Zhangs tell Sokka that their ancestor, Wei Jin, saw Jin Wei passed out on the ground and was returning the sacred orb to Jin Wei's tribe when they wrongfully imprisoned him for twenty years.
The next day, they reach the end of the canyon, where they begin arguing again, both tribes preparing to fight in order to end the feud once and for all. Aang becomes angry and uses airbending to stop them from fighting, but in the process reveals the food hidden by both tribes. Aang scolds the tribes for disobeying the canyon guide's warning not to bring food, but is quickly distracted by an egg custard tart since he has not eaten in a day. However, attracted to the abundance of food, many canyon crawlers approach the area. By working together and throwing bags over the crawlers' heads while the crawlers are distracted with food, everyone is able to ride them up the wall and out of the canyon. Aang, upon hearing the names of the two tribes' ancestors, reveals that he knew them. He says that they were twins and when they were eight, they played a game called "Redemption". Jin Wei was running with the ball and fell, so Wei Jin picked it up and started running to the other end of the field. However, he stepped out of bounds and was put in the penalty box for two minutes. Finally, the tribes make up and continue their journey to Ba Sing Se, the Earth Kingdom capital, together, followed by the guide. Afterward, Aang reveals to his friends that the story was fictional. As the group rides away on Appa, Aang asks where the egg custard tart is, as he is starving.

Production notes
- Main article: Transcript:The Great Divide
Character revelations
- According to Aang, Appa has five stomachs.
- It is revealed that Aang is, at the very least, an ovo vegetarian, as his mouth waters when he spies an egg custard tart.
- In the real world, the "Great Divide" most commonly refers to the Atlantic/Pacific continental divide, a mountainous ridge that separates the watersheds that drain into the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The "Great Divide" of the World of Avatar is the exact opposite—a canyon analogous to the real-world Grand Canyon.
- The canyon guide is meant to mimic Grand Canyon tour guides, as his explanation of how the Great Divide was created as a parody of the explanation such guides give about the Grand Canyon.
- The art and direction style of the Zhang's version of the story is similar to that of the animated film Dead Leaves.
- When the canyon guide gets attacked by the canyon crawler, the canyon crawler picks him up using its leg, but in the next scene it is holding him with its mouth.
- When the canyon guide's arms are broken by a canyon crawler, he states that he has no bending. This is significantly different to other earthbending styles seen. Toph Beifong, on many occasions, uses only her legs. In addition, the earthbender in the opening sequence is seen performing the art with only his legs.
- The situation between the two tribes provides an example of a Rashomon effect, in which multiple individuals who are witnesses to an event are able to produce substantially different but equally plausible accounts of it, commonly used in episodes of television programs. The concept was popularized by Akira Kurosawa's 1950s film Rashomon, in which a crime witnessed by four individuals is described in four mutually contradictory ways.
- Avatar Extras revealed that canyon crawlers are a cross between crocodiles and spiders.
- This episode was unpopular with fans due to its relatively insignificant plot and is the lowest rated episode on IMDb.[1] This fact did not go unnoticed by the creators, and in the play in the episode "The Ember Island Players", the characters chose to fly right over the canyon without stopping, highlighting the inconsequential nature of the episode's events. Avatar Extras references it by saying, "This references an episode called 'The Great Divide'", immediately followed by, "That episode was not a fan favorite."
- The episode title is one of several episode titles that have multiple meanings. It refers not only to the geographical feature, but also to the great divide that has grown between the two tribes, as well as the literal meaning of Wei Jin's name.
- This is the first episode in the series to not be seen again in "Previously on Avatar ..." The others are "The Fortuneteller", "The Northern Air Temple", "The Painted Lady", and "The Puppetmaster".
- On the old Nick website, the episode was incorrectly titled as "Bitter Work".
- This is the only instance in the entire Avatar franchise in which "earth spirits" are referenced.

Larry, thanks.Ben, Lawrenceville is a bit of trek for me (Morristown), and I'm pretty much an aged low moisture brick kind of guy, but... I do have family down in Princeton, so, I might swing by. Do they have any other cheeses that stand out?
The Polly O Gold Is avaialable here at my local Rest Depot I prefere the grande over that but now new fav is Losurdo Here in Hack its what Amano uses and I am loving it !!John
These are their cheeses. Pretty darn good but I've never put any of them on Pizza. Not sure if they sell the curds online.http://www.cherrygrovefarm.com/shop/index.php?cPath=22&osCsid=9e140f598d191202138e6fefd6399c3f
I've been on Amazon's waiting list for almost two years trying to get Polly-O curd. Guess the stuff must be scarse. I may have a source of raw milk this summer, gonna give mozzarella a shot on my own.
DMCavanagh, Polly-O cured is readily available at the RD I go to here in Lombard (Chicago burb). Strange that it's so rare on Amazon...? If you're ever in the area, I'll be happy to take you there to pick some up.
Derrick,What place is that in Lombard?Nate
Nate, Restaurant Depot. You need to have a business license to get in, but otherwise, no additional costs.

Woody Allen Gossip
Woody Allen gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Emma & Colin promote Magic In The Moonlight
247PapsTV/ Splash
Woody Allen is fascinated by magic. And now, apparently, Emma Stone. Because he's cast her in his next movie. But first… Magic In The Moonlight opens next week. Colin Firth plays a middle-aged man who meets a beautiful, young "seer" (is there any other kind in Woody's mind?) and tries to prove that she's full of sh-t but, naturally, ends up falling in love with her. Full Story
Emma & Joaquin
Emma Stone worked with Woody Allen last year on Magic In The Moonlight in France. Looks like he's found a new muse. Because she's now shooting another film with him, currently untitled, and this time in Rhode Island. How long has it been since he set a story in America? Wait. Never mind. Full Story
A war of words with Woody Allen
Mirrorpix/ Splash
Who could possibly win? Aaron Sorkin would probably like to think he could, but I'd nominate someone like… Diablo Cody. Because when it comes to a war of words, written words, few people could take on Woody Allen. Have you read his response to Dylan Farrow? Click here Full Story
Dylan Farrow challenges Hollywood
So you know about that Vanity Fair piece on Mia Farrow a few months ago. And Ronan Farrow's subsequent tweets during the Golden Globes about honouring Woody Allen. And then a week ago, an article was posted at The Daily Beast, written by Robert B Weide who shot a PBS documentary about Allen's work. Full Story
Lohan punks Woody, begs Anna
Wenn, Sharpshooter Images/Splash
Woody Allen agreed to meet Lindsay Lohan for dinner the other night in New York. The paps were there to shoot them on their way out. Of course. And who do you think texted them the location? As you know, the Met Gala is tonight. Rumour has it Lohan is desperate to attend. And desperate to find someone to dress her. Full Story
This won't get you work
Wenn, Jamie McCarthy/Jemal Countess/Getty
So...here's how Lindsay Lohan looked last night at the AMFAR Gala in New York. Remember, she is only 25 years old. And apparently still wants to play Victoria Gotti even though that sh-t was shut down a long time ago. You know, there was a time when her hair, it wasn't such a cheap mess, even her extensions. Full Story
Blonde Rachel in Paris
Seems like a good way to start the day after shouts - a blonde wavy Rachel McAdams shot with Owen Wilson in Paris last night on Woody Allen's new feature Midnight in Paris. After completing this film, Rachel should move into promotion for the upcoming Morning Glory with Harrison Ford and Diane Keaton. Full Story
Marion & Owen
Shooting Woody Allen's upcoming Midnight in Paris, the director's latest muse having moved on from London and Barcelona. It's easier for him to work in Europe now. And it's quite the cast. In addition to Marion Cotillard and Owen Wilson, the film will star Kathy Bates, Adrien Brody, Carla Bruni (yes, the French first lady), Rachel McAdams, and Michael Sheen. Full Story
Naomi & Woody
Saturday night in Cannes for the premiere of You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger (positive reviews from 3 journalists I spoke with), Naomi Watts arrived on the carpet in pale pink Gucci and red lips. It was spectacular. Not sure if it's photographing as well as it was in person but in person, I promise you, breathtaking. Full Story
But Jakey's so close!
Rachel McAdams will be spending the summer in France. She'll be filming a Woody Allen movie with Marion Cotillard. Girlcrush overload, non? Oh and Owen Wilson is involved too. Today however Rachel was spotted in Toronto, out for lunch with her dad. Of course Toronto. Always Toronto. LA is not Rachel's scene. Full Story
Replacing Scarjo?
Oh she wishes. But let's applaud the effort, shall we? Jennifer Aniston had dinner with Woody Allen last night at Madeo no doubt discussing a collaboration. Please. Jennifer Aniston is not Diane Keaton. And she's about 25 years too old. Woody prefers young and nubile these days. He prefers Scarlett Johansson. Full Story

An immeasurable emotional toll
Wednesday, December 19, 2012
The unthinkable tragedy that occurred in Newtown, Conn. that took 28 lives, including 20 children, has taken an immeasurable emotional toll on that community. The anger, disbelief and utter devastation, however, reach deep into our community as well.
Young children may communicate their fears through play or drawings. Elementary school children may use a combination of play and talking to express themselves. Adolescents are more likely to have the skills to communicate their feelings and fears verbally. Be attentive to a child's concerns, but also try to help children put their fears into proportion to the real risk. Again, it is important to assure children that the adults in their lives are doing everything they can to make their environment (school, home, and neighborhood) safe for them.
Additionally, you can call the Disaster Distress Helpline at 800.985.5990, or text 'talkwithus' (English) or 'hablanos' (Spanish) to 66746 at any time. |

Kody Nielson
Getting to know Unknown Mortal Orchestra
Tuesday, February 5th, 2013 | interviewZ, musiX, pdX | No Comments
I like Portland. I liked the Mint Chicks. I love New Zealand. I dig noisy pop music. But as much as I like these things it doesn't necessarily mean I'd like Unknown Mortal Orchestra. I'm easy, but I'm not that easy.
But I do like Unknown Mortal Orchestra. That's because Ruban Nielson writes good songs. The PDX by way of NZ musician surprised a lot of people (including himself) in 2010 when he posted the song "Ffunny Ffriends" on his Bandcamp page. Blogs ate it up before they even knew who or what was behind it, and Nielson–who was just writing songs for his own amusement—soon found himself releasing an entire record for Fat Possum in 2011.
There's no mystery surrounding the band's latest LP II, out now on Jagjaguwar. The songs again dip into the nether-regions of Nielson's psyche, as he pushes garage rock and soul through some sort of futuristic meat grinder. It's a little hazier than their self-titled debit. Zeus knows there's been plenty to draw from in Nielson's life over the past few years: The breakup of his longtime New Zealand band the Mint Chicks (caused by a strained relationship with his brother, Kody); the roller coaster that came with the release of UMO's debut, which came after deciding he was going to quit music; and a tumultuous year of touring that saw Nielson nearly party himself to death in 2011.
It sounds like the makings of a juicy autobiography; instead we get II. And it's a good one. Nielson took some time to answer a few questions about living in Portlandia, making music with a clear head and missing his Ffriends in New Zealand.
TDoL: You wrote and performed II yourself, right?
Ruban Nielson: I wrote it, but my brother plays some drums on it. Greg Rogove plays drums on a track and Jake Portrait plays bass on a track. It was still a pretty solitary process overall though.
It's good stuff. It's more dynamic than the first record, more live sounding …
Thanks. It has more drum fills and is a little less repetitive I suppose. I put some extra effort into the big picture of the record. The first record was me just trying to make jams to listen to on my iPod on the bus. It wasn't intended as a real album. On the new record I thought about the little journey it would take you on. I knew people were going to hear it so I stepped up with a bit more conceptual ambition.
What were you going for in that respect?
I was just trying to capture the way I felt about the year and half I'd just had. Every song was coming at that idea from a different angle. I thought if I could make an album that invoked the feelings I'd had it would come out pretty heavy, and it would be good.
I remember hearing the Mint Chicks' Bad Buzz EP and being really excited about the new music, and then poof they were gone. What happened, and what did you take from that experience?
My brother was just treating me like shit, basically. I needed to get out of the situation of working with him on a daily basis. I was working really hard and putting a lot of effort into it and getting nothing back. I'd just grown out of it. I wanted my life to be more rewarding and fun.
How long was it before you started working on the UMO stuff?
For about six months I think I was just trying to figure out how to pay my bills in Portland and stuff like that so I didn't think about music much. I had this plan in my head that I was going to do something else with my life that wasn't music, and that whatever it was it was going to be awesome. Eventually I started making recordings as a hobby. While I was in the Mint Chicks I worked as an artist's assistant and did visual art as a hobby and music for a living so my plan was to flip that around. I got really excited about making music without arguing with bandmates about whether an idea was good. I got excited about making music without having to send demos to the label and all of that stuff. I got excited about removing the ego bullshit from the process.
Were you surprised by how quickly it caught on?
Of course. I remember working on "Ffunny Ffrends" and specifically thinking, "OK, now I'm just removing myself from the zeitgeist entirely. This is officially the most untrendy music in the world. Nobody is going to want to hear this." If you'd asked anyone if they wanted to hear overly distorted music in an annoying falsetto about funny friends over old-school breakbeats … and, oh, did I mention the guitar solo?
How did you end up in Portland?
I have an uncle who lives here and I stayed with him and his family for a couple of weeks, and just felt like I wanted to move here. I went back to New Zealand and basically started planning to move. I have dual citizenship but I'd never had the desire to move to the U.S. permanently until I'd hung out in Portland. Of course, it's changed a lot even in the five years I've lived here. There wasn't a TV show about how ridiculous things are downtown. I still like it a lot though.
Do you miss New Zealand?
Sometimes. I had a great time last time I was there. My good friends I have there are irreplaceable. My immediate family are still there. I get along a lot better with my brother now that we aren't in the Mint Chicks together.
Were you more influenced by New Zealand bands growing up, or American bands?
I was influenced by everything. Flying Nun, East Coast hip hop, alternative rock, punk, post-punk, jazz, jazz fusion, avante garde music, dub, drum and bass, noise music, classical. My family are all musicians on both sides so my poor brain was under siege from music. That's why I didn't want to be a musician growing up. I got into it accidentally, almost.
If you could go back to a certain era of music, what would it be?
2010, man. Things were so good then.
It sounds like 2012 was a hectic year for you. What are your goals for a smoother 2013?
I think 2012 was a great year—not that hectic, just busy and successful. 2011 was the hectic one. Just touring and touring and touring. This year I'm going to be busy again. There's never telling what's going to happen. I don't know if smooth is what I want.

Current Time
Concierge.com's insider take:
Located near Centro, Lapa is a neighborhood that was—and still is—pretty run down, but in pretty fantastic way. The warren of small streets and faded colonial buildings has a seedy/arty/downtown feel far removed from Zona Sul's burnished glamour, and is about 20 minutes away by cab. Even more unusual, you'll find the working class, artists, and professionals mixing to listen to live bands and drink cachaça, making for one of the most vibrant scenes in the city. Music seems to fly in the wind in Brazil, but you won't likely find better musicians playing traditional samba than at Carioca da Gema, where well-known sambistas often make an appearance, and the middle-aged crowd shows its enthusiastic approval in the space that only takes 300 people (55-21-2221-0043). Meanwhile, the Rio Scenarium is bursting the seams of its aging foundation with atmosphere (55-21-3852-5516). This former antique clearinghouse is comprised of three stories, and the top two floors have atriums cut into the floor so the audience can lean on the guardrail and see the band playing on the first floor. Every corner is stuffed with esoteric antique furniture, errant lamps, and knickknacks, and it gives off the vibe of a grandmother's house gone wild. The younger crowd prefers the Teatro Odisséia (55-21-2224-6367): A former porn theater, it also utilizes its three floors and the roof to showcase live bands and DJs playing at the same time in different sections.

Barstool Philly Local Smokeshow of the Day – Sarah
Welcome Sarah from Penn State. You know what's weird, I don't think I've ever been to Penn State. I've driven through it and had plenty of friends go there but just never really stopped and partied or anything. One of these days, I guess. Might be fun now that I'm old and don't have to worry about getting Sandusky'd.
So I guess you guys don't like Smokeshow posts since you're slackin on sending me nominations. Maybe I'll just put up .gif's of that fat Sixers guy rolling his stomach or something instead. Stop being lazy shits and take the two seconds to email me links to potential Smoke's Facebook pages. And don't send me chicks who live in Arizona and have never lived in the area — does me no good. SEND TO email@example.com.

Goodrich Corp. engineers used electronic design automation (EDA) software to design, verify, and test the company's latest innovative electronic brake automation avionics. The company's electric brake system is being employed on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner airplane; in fact, a majority of 787 customers to date have selected the Goodrich electric brake system.
Goodrich executives announced in March 2011 that the company's electro-magnetic brake system completed all required dedicated flight test conditions. Required test conditions included: extensive on-aircraft testing of the wheels and electric brake hardware, validation of the proprietary software incorporated in the electric brake actuator controllers, and maximum brake energy testing, which was completed at Edwards Air Force Base in California. According to a Goodrich spokesperson, the achievement followed a comprehensive development and qualification program, under which multiple Goodrich business units and The Boeing Company collaborated closely.
The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is the first commercial airliner to be outfitted with an electric brake system; simultaneously, of course, Goodrich's electro-magnetic braking system has the distinction of being the first such system on a commercial craft.
"Goodrich is again honored to be part of aviation history by being a supplier for the world's first electric brake system on a commercial airplane," explains Brian Brandewie, president of Goodrich's Aircraft Wheels & Brakes division in Phoenix, Ariz. "The 787 system represents our sixth generation of electric brakes. We anticipated demand for an alternative to traditional, hydraulically actuated braking, and began the pursuit of electrically actuated braking technology more than 15 years ago."
What benefits do electronic braking systems offer compared to their more traditional, hydraulic counterparts? This geek is glad you asked. Be sure to read on.
