Austin, Texas – January 15th.
MISC. MUSIC proudly releases a new album by Jad Fair and Naofumi
Ishimaru. The two sonic creators combine to form
JAD and NAO. HALF MONSTER is the pair's third collaborative release
(preceded by HALF ROBOT and HALF ALIEN).
Jad and his brother David Fair are the founding members
of the seminal bedroom punk band, HALF JAPANESE in the late seventies.
HALF JAPANESE released albums throughout the eighties and into the
nineties, even touring with NIRVANA on the
IN UTERO tour.
Jad later released dozens of solo records and collaborations with artists like:
MAUREEN TUCKER, TEENAGE FANCLUB, JASON WILLET, the members of
SONIC YOUTH, and YO LA TENGO.
Jad is joined by Naofumi Ishimaru, the Japanese noise maker
who formed the impressive noise band YXIMALLOO in the eighties.
Together the two musicians make a wide variety of recordings.
Some of the songs on HALF MONSTER are very direct lyrical songs, like the
spectacular Sugar Girl, about enjoying an ice cream cone with a girlfriend.
Lonely Song is a super catchy version of the
Daniel Johnston cover. JAD and NAO are able to span the limits of the rock
and roll medium from the wildest and weirdest version of Chuck Berry's: Roll
Over Beethoven ever recorded to the pure shining noise madness of NO
EVIL STAR. In FOOD – PRO CON Jad seems to channel Dr. Suess in a diatribe
about his dietary preferences, which appear to include almost anything "hot
or cold" but "no spot - no mold."
The pairing of JAD and NAO provides the two musicians with an opportunity
to place two distinct sounds together which compete for your attention yet
somehow are both strong enough to hold together equally and still be a
listenable "song." If this is not feat enough, check Godzilla Invades Mars,
which Jad sings from Godzilla's perspective and in the process quotes
Johnny Rotten from the Sex Pistol's Anarchy in the U.K., "he knows what he
wants and he knows where to get it, he wants to destroy a passerby."
JAO and NAO :
set the punk spirit of GODZILLA free in HALF MONSTER!
Jad & Nao
Half Monster (Misc. Music)
Recorded 10 years ago, Half Monster yields a whopping 45 songs, and
coming from Manor's Jad Fair, they couldn't be anything except the
disc's title. Joined by Japanese noise artist Naofumi Ishimaru, the Half
Japanese co-founder has assembled a jigsaw puzzle of sounds, with
the typical fodder: "Frankenchrist," "Godzilla Invades Mars," "Snake
Had Legs." A cover of "Roll Over Beethoven" is rendered barely
recognizable in Ishimaru's hands, though strangely charming.
Appearances from Half Japanese collaborators Mark Jickling and Gilles
Rieder give Half Monster its pop edge, Fair staying true to his themes of
love and food as well. Also true to the title, the ear-ringing influence of
Ishimaru adds a rougher finish, many tracks veering between drone
and stream of consciousness under a bubble of twitch and crawl. As
individual cuts, there isn't one that stands out; rather, Half Monster is a
whole listening experience, cultural exchange between left and right

Half Monster
Misc. Music
by Bret McCabe
A few gulped swallows of air strafe a glitchy loop of metal clatter and ramshackle
electronics. Drums stumble in the background like a toddler taking her first steps.
Those air gulps quickly become vocal smears that could be female, could be male,
or could be howler monkey. And 53 seconds later it's all over before you get any
sense of what's going on--and that's it. God Is My Co-Pilot's super-wonderful
Sharon Topper and Craig Flanagin show up for "1/3 American"--the title of those
opaque 53 seconds--on a new album for the first time in years, and what does this
guest appearance produce? Less than a minute of arrhythmic clamor that not only
doesn't even tease but barely even frustrates. Thank you, Jad Fair.
Fair's music is about defying expectations. And here the co-founder of Half
Japanese--the finest export ever from Uniontown, Md.--once again teams up with
Naofumi Ishimaru, the Japanese artist behind the sublime performance outfit
Yximalloo, for yet another distillation of completely reorganized rock, gloriously
discombobulated pop, noisily melodic spoken-word sound poetry,
harnessed-wreckage doohickeys, and other mirthful treats that slip through the
fingers of nouns and adjectives. Half Monster--Fair and Ishimaru's third release and
Fair's, like, 4 billionth overall--is what Fair fans have come to adore about his
projects. Songs built out of one/two gratuitously simple ideas--roiling drums
chasing twangy guitars, a jazz big-band drum solo dancing with bird-call
whistles--are played with a skipping-class glee and given Amy Hempel-meets-Roald
Dahl ingenious titles, such as "Snake Had Legs" and "Food--Pro and Con,"
respectively. These lyrics' subject matter feels practically survival-instinct impulsive,
and their transformation into song connects to that primal inner brain that innately
understands the maxim: happy equals, well, happy.
As always, the album is a Fair extended-family affair. Longtime Half Jap members
Mark Jickling (guitar) and Gilles Rieder (drums) provide some pound and shimmy,
and frequent Fair collaborator and the True Vine Record Shop raconteur Jason
Willett mixed the majority of what's here. And since these effervescent brain bombs
rarely break the two-minute mark, Half Monster packs 45 tracks onto one CD. If the
woodwind belches and groans of "Big, Not Teeny" aren't doing it for you, just wait a
Jad And Nao - CD - Half Monster
'Half Monster' is the collaborative work of Jad Fair and Naofumi Ishimaru; a wildly diverse,
obtuse even, album of succinct works, forty-five tracks in all, that is as challenging as it is
extraordinary. A bit like Zappa meets Stockhausen, 'Half Monster' is driven mainly by
percussive onslaughts embellished with angular and often industrial sounding electronics
and guitars. This is definitely one for the open-minded experimentalist out there; this
takes 'alternative' to 'alternative' destinations!
'Half Monster' maybe pretty spiky and tangential but somehow Jad And Nao make it work
with their zany assault on the senses - pushing at normality, pulling at convention, poking,
prodding and pawing at compositional guidelines and pounding harmony and discord into
one angular entity. Fascinating but testing, 'Half Monster' aint no sell-out to commerciality,
far from it, 'Half Monster' takes risks, it bends rules, it casts itself firmly and squarely into
'cult' territory and sits there waiting for Mr.Strangely-Strange or Mr.Oddly-Normal to come
along, discover its quite normal outer skin and sample its bizarrely weird inner delights.
Jad And Nao's conjoined and deformed brainchild, 'Half Monster', is as unusual as it gets
and yet, somehow, it pulls you in - there's a winching device concealed within its 'hood'
that hooks on and gently, unknowingly, starts to draw you into its heart. Not exactly
infectious but certainly a work that begs to be re-visited, 'Half Monster' is very hard to
describe, you have to experience it to really understand what's going on. Yes, it's an
experience rather than just a musical interlude - 'Half Monster' can be as fulfilling as you
want it to be but, it can also be as repellent and you let it be. Like the physical behaviour of
two magnets but in reverse, you being one, 'Half Monster' the other - if the poles oppose
you'll be repelled, if the poles concur, you'll be attracted, if the two poles remain flexible
about an axis you'll remain undecided, one day you're in, the next you'll keep your distance.
'Half Monster' by Jad And Nao includes a few surprises in the form of unexpected 'covers'
that you'll probably not even recognise the first time around - so obtuse are they!! On the
whole, 'Half Monster' by Jad And Nao is a trip of discovery and adventure but, that trip may
just turn out to be a bad one if you're not totally committed to the journey. Wild stuff this,
not for everyone, not to be treated lightly, a weirdly adventurous work to separate the
'men' from the 'boys'! Not easy listening, not really commercial but somehow it works in the
stark spotlight of musical experimentation and in the brazen, full-on alternative world.

Training Tip for Today's WOD
Hey Y'all!
For todays EMOM 20, it is critical to hit the unbroken double unders the first time and NOT have to start over. I tested this WOD with my Polar HR monitor and there was a 10 beats difference in my heart rate on the 4 rounds where I missed against the rounds I hit correctly the first time.
- Rest as you move from the deadlift to double unders. Don't rush!
- Breathe through your nose while inhaling DEEP breaths. This will help you regulate your stress response and your HR.
- Keep the double unders at a slightly slower pace to ensure you don't have a miss. This isn't "Annie" where faster wins. Its about consistency.

Sally cooked up a gourmet breakfast for us after our very restful night's sleep in a comfortable bed. The house is a wonderful restoration of a true mansion. Even though it was a cool night, we were toasty warm. The location is not particularly scenic, but the house more than makes up for it. It is an easy drive to the Maine coast and the shopping districts of ME and NH.

Don't miss an opportunity to stay at this B and B. It is a beautiful, historic home with wonderful hosts. I can't recommend it enough.

My husband and stayed here for 2 nights, along with 2 of our friends. Not only is it beautiful, Sally and Ben, the innkeepers, were absolutely wonderful. The rooms are amazing and the breakfast was fantastic. But some of the best times were spent sitting on the front porch visiting with Ben & Sally and the other guests. We missed eating dinner one night because we were having so much fun! I would give The Angel of the Berwicks 5 stars!

Living about ½ hour from the Angel, I was skeptical when my wife surprised me with a midwinter stay at the B&B. Well let me say my skepticism was all for not. Ben and Sally present this beautiful property wonderfully and let me tell you, this is a special place. We were the only guests for the night, being off season, but were never made to feel anything but welcome. We stayed in the Niagara Falls room which faces east. As the sun rose, the room filled with marvelous light accenting the well situated period furnishings. We spent time in the common rooms, played the grand piano (just a little bit) and had a fantastic, gluten free breakfast prepared by Sally. We plan on staying again in the near future and bringing some other family members along to share this gem located in North Berwick. Jim and Mary Lou, Rochester, NH

My wife and I stayed here during our first trip to New England and we were so impressed that we will always come here when traveling to the North Berwick/Ogunquit area. Ben and Sally were so wonderful and gave us the whole story about the place and even shared some little secrets about the place. We would recommend "Angel of the Berwicks" always.

My husband and I stayed in the Doughty Falls room for one night in August 2011. We were astounded by the beauty of the Inn. This house is a delight for those who appreciate architectural detail! The room we chose was the smallest at the inn but was in no way small. It was tastefully decorated, included a walk-in closet, a ceiling fan, a much-appreciated window a/c unit, wireless internet, a very comfortable bed, and bath robes as a finishing touch. Everything was very clean and comfortable, and the owners could not have shown more hospitality. The bathroom was updated, very clean, and attractive. I will admit I was a bit disconcerted that the bathroom was across the hall from our room rather than anjoining it. This may be a common situation at B&B's but it was unusual for us as we typically stay in hotels. I should add that it was our own bath, not shared, and it really wasn't a huge problem - just an oddity to us. I could write an entire review on the breakfast alone, but suffice it to say the food was exquisite and the service beatifully executed. I wish our stay had been longer and would never hesitate to return.

Absolutely one of the best B & B's we've ever visited. From the time we arrived until the minute we left, we were pleased with attention to every detail. This beautiful victorian lady was decorated for Christmas. Fresh evergreen trees kissed the high ceilings and a nutcracker collection graced the beautiful marble mantle. The room was huge, the bed comfy as can be made up with crisp, clean linens. The entire inn was immaculate, plenty of rooms to relax, a living room, library and den with tv in addition to a lovely dining room. Breakfast was delicious, a fresh poached pear in a creme brulee sauce and baked eggs florentine. Fresh coffee and a warm muffin completed the meal. Sally and Ben spent ample time making us dinner reservations and telling us the history of this fascinating mansion. We can't wait to go back, close to shopping, restaurants and beaches but off the beaten path, so quiet and relaxing. Laurie and Butch Marino

Beautiful house in as original a condition as code will allow. Period furniture. The hosts are gracious and knowledgeable as to the history of the house and the surrounding area. We will definitely stay here again.

Our family of four from New York City planned a nature get-away - visiting Acadia National Park, Maine. But, we wanted to find a well-placed half-way rest stop given the length of the drive. We found it, plus a lot more, at Angel of the Berwicks. After a 5-Hr drive from New York City, we settled in for a few days and sampled the local fare and activities. The Angel's proximity to Ogunquit while being more secluded from the tourist traffic, was an extra plus. The B&B was welcoming, comfortable, roomy and beautifully decorated. We especially liked the warmth of the owners, Ben and Sally Gumm, who shared lots of information about the local area as well as lodging choices in the Acadia area, including Bar Harbor. We were surprised to also learn the rich history of the B&B itself, being the former mansion of a local mill heiress. While at the Angel, we enjoyed hiking the nearby Nature Conservancy's trails as well as the Marginal Way in Ogunquit, where we also played miniature golf and shoped a bit. The evenings were a treat that included a dinner with lobster and steamers - the local specialty. On recommendation, we visited Old Orchard Beach, an hour drive or so up the coast towards Portland. Had a terrific day of beach time, live music, a classic old amusement park, and some surprisingly warm ocean fun with the kids. Acadia exceeded our expectations. We explored the park's many beautiful vistas and experienced blueberry picking out of this world. As our trip came to a close, we knew we wanted a laid-back and pleasant return to New York, so we stopped for another short stay at the Angel. And now, we're planning a trip to go cross-country skiing in Maine, including Acadia National Park, and plan to use the Angel of the Berwicks as our vacation base once again.

Anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela dies at 95
His native land and the world are mourning the loss of South African leader Nelson Mandela. The country's first black president has died at 95 after a long illness.
Mandela, a former boxer, attorney and freedom fighter, spent nearly one-third of his life as a political prisoner of apartheid, the legalized racist system of oppression controlled by South Africa's white minority. Amazingly he emerged advocating forgiveness, even acceptance of the minority Afrikaans culture to form a democratic non-racial government.
His transformation from freedom fighter to statesman caused admirers to compare Mandela to Martin Luther King Jr. and Indian independence leader Mohandas Gandhi.
South Africa's current leader, President Jacob Zuma, announced Mandela's death during a TV broadcast Thursday night. Zuma said the nation had lost its greatest son and that the people had lost a father. Zuma said Mandela died "peacefully" while with his family.
President Barack Obama says the world has lost an influential, courageous and 'profoundly good' man with the death of anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela.
Obama says Mandela "no longer belongs to us. He belongs to the ages."
Speaking from the White House, Obama said he was one of the countless millions around the world who was influenced by Mandela.
Obama met with Mandela's family earlier this year when he visited South Africa. But he did not meet with the ailing leader, who was hospitalized throughout the U.S. president's visit.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says Nelson Mandela was "a giant for justice" whose "selfless struggle for human dignity, equality and freedom" inspired many people around the world.
"No one did more in our time to advance the values and aspirations of the United Nations," he told reporters soon after Mandela's death was announced Thursday.
"Nelson Mandela showed what is possible for our world, and within each one of us, if we believe a dream and work together for justice and humanity," Ban said. "Let us continue each day to be inspired by Nelson Mandela's lifelong example to keep working for a better and more just world."
The U.N. Security Council interrupted a meeting on the tribunals for former Yugoslavia and Rwanda and stood for a minute in silent tribute to Mandela.
Mourners also say it is a time to celebrate the achievements of the iconic former South African president and anti-apartheid leader.
One Johannesburg resident, 31-year-old Hamsa Moosa, said after the 95-year-old Mandela died Thursday night that he "wouldn't be free" if not for the man affectionately known by his clan name "Madiba."
A 29-year-old accountant, Thumelo Madikwe, says Mandela played his role in the world "very well" and that he lived a long life.

Why do people read more into silly questions than they should? Most times a silly question is just meant to be silly.
Well this is what I think. People come to a site like this for discussions. Its a way to get involved, a way to learn a way to debate and a means of entertainment. Its a way of exercising your brain to read a question and then react to it in some way. And sometimes... people just like to get into a question and explore it in some way for entertainment sake. and sometimes people might be in a moody type of mood and might get a little carried away.... get a little overly emotional. but that is not so bad. When you think about it. If you are ever going to get a little overly emotional...(not to encourage the behavior) but you might as well do it on the internet. Because on the internet its a bit safer then to do it when you are standing face to face with somebody in your real life. Right. ha ha

I mean if you say something a bit off on the internet... you might get a few backlash posts. but you can live with that easy enough. Just click away and not so bad on the damage end. But in real life if you get a bit out of line with your mouth you might wind up with a punch to the face or you might lose a real life friend or get suspended or lose a job over it. ha ha OUCH

so i guess the internet is a place where people feel like hey can say a few things and vent a little bit and the possible immediate damage is minimal.

thats my take on that.

Now Screw you ALL!!! > "Just Joking" on the screw you all part !!! ha ha

LOL

Have a good day folks. Dont take weird posts buy upset people or immature people too seriously. And realize people can sometimes just have a bad day

and need to vent a little bit.
Because they can't always tell that it's meant to be silly. Different perspectives.
Ha. This is the internet. We don't all get the silly.

Leon Draisaitl is the latest in what's become a long line of Edmonton Oilers top-five draft picks. What makes the 2014 third overall selection a bit different doesn't just come from his size but his maturity.
During the Oilers development camp, Draisaitl talked about what it would be like to make the Oilers roster right out of training camp.
"I think it is a learning process for any 18-year-old kid," Leon Draisaitl said. "But at the same time, I think if a player is ready to play and step in and make an impact, then why wouldn't you let him play and give him a chance? I think there's a lot of players who aren't ready and come in to training camp, they're young, and that's usually every 18-year-old kid is not as strong as an NHL player. I think it's a learning process, but if a player is ready and he wants to make an impact, then there is no way you can get around letting him play."
The Oilers haven't been shy about starting draft picks in the NHL right away. Taylor Hall, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, and Nail Yakupov all jumped from the draft stage to the NHL right away. With Draisaitl's skills he very well could be joining them in Edmonton next season.

Question: Can glycerin act as a preservative?
It seems that you can use glycerin as a preservative when you use 50% glycerin or more in a product. (Click here for the Chemist's Corner comment, click here for the FDA slide.) It would preserve the entire recipe, so anything you add - proteins, panthenol, hydrosols, and so on - would be preserved as well. But would you want that much glycerin in a product? I can't imagine that would feel good. I think I've mentioned that I make a foot lotion recipe with 25% glycerin, and it feels great on my feet...but it feels awful on other parts of my body. I can't use it as a hand lotion - I have to wash it off after applying - because it's just too sticky. What would 50% feel like?
So you can't make a glycerin-water spray with 20% glycerin and expect it to be preserved. And I really wouldn't recommend a product of this nature.

Hi susan, how long can a 10% glycerin + water solution last if I store it in the fridge.

I've seen differing information on the percentage of glycerin required for preservation. For example, here the FDA says that 10% glycerin makes a product self-preserving:
"Some cosmetics, i.e., those containing more than about 10% ethanol, propylene glycol, glycerol, etc., and cosmetics in self-pressurized containers, are self-preserving and are not likely to become contaminated with microorganisms." Source: http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/Inspections/InspectionGuides/ucm074952.htm
10% seems really low to me. I wonder if 10% glycerin is enough to lower the water activity to prevent bacterial growth but not fungal growth (though if so I'm not sure why FDA would make the statement above!).
I think the FDA slide linked to in the post is for medicine (though I don't sure why the figure for medicine should be so different than for cosmetics!).

Thanks for answering my question! I notice a lot of the hair forums and blogs recommend a spray for the hair at about 1 in 5, and I always thought, eek, doesn't that need preservative, but then read that amount might be self-preserving.
p, that's interesting... this is why I found this so confusing, I was coming across very different figures from different sources. I wonder if the 'self- pressurized containers' is key there?

- Susan Barclay-Nichols said...
Hi Rae. Are you preserving it? If not, then a few days at the most. (I wouldn't trust anything without a preservative, and glycerin can be very tasty and appealing to various beasties, so I wouldn't use it without a preservative at all.)
Hi p. I'm with anonymous - I think the key might be the "self-pressurized containers" part. I will do more research here.
Hi Anonymous. Why are you using glycerin on your hair?As a humectant? Doesn't it feel really sticky?

Hi Susan and Anonymous,
I think that'd be a reasonable guess as a formulator, but I don't think that's what the sentence says:
"Some cosmetics, i.e., those containing more than about 10% ethanol, propylene glycol, glycerol, etc., and cosmetics in self-pressurized containers, are self-preserving and are not likely to become contaminated with microorganisms."
I think "cosmetics containing more than 10%..." and "cosmetics in self-pressurized containers" are two separate sets of products (otherwise why would they use the word 'cosmetics' a second time)? There's nothing gramatically and logically that suggests that both conditions ('more than 10%' and 'self-pressurized') need to be met at once for the conclusion (self-preserving) of the sentence to hold. Likewise, I don't think the sentence is about products that contain 10% ethanol, 10% propylene glycol, 10% glycerol, 10% etc. all at the same time!

Thanks for the great post. I think I am following what previous posters said. It seems to have been a while back, but hope you do get to see this and answer it.
I was wondering about adding a bit of glycerine <5% to a hydrosol mixture. The hydrosols by themselves do not need preservatives; the glycerine itself doesn't need a preservative, so would it be accurate to assume that the mixture (glycerine + hydrosol) as a whole would not need a preservative?
PS: Thanks for a great site.

Hi Susan~ I am planning to use glycerin to preserve stains. Will the stain be sticky because it has glycerin? Does glycerin become sticky after some time?
How can I do the percentage stuffs of the glycerin?

Hi J. I'm sorry, but I don't understand the question. You're preserving a stain?

Hi Susan, thanks for what you do. I will like to make a balm (with solid and liquid oils without water) and will like to use about 20% glycerin. I am wondering since glycerin is like water, will i need to add a preservative to my balm? If so which paraben free preservative do you think will work. Or can i just do ROE with vitamin E? Thank you.
- April 23, 2015 at 8:22 AM
- Susan Barclay-Nichols said...
Hi Nana. If you are adding glycerin, you need to add an emulsifier and a preservative. You can learn more about preservatives in the preservatives section of the blog, and you can check out the FAQ for more information on emulsifiers. ROE and Vitamin E are not preservatives, they are anti-oxidants, meaning they retard the rancidity of your oils. They will not prevent contamination by microbes.

If I use another preservative, eg. Liquid germal, would that help and could I use less glycerine in that instance? I'm 100% black so my hair can't handle no more than 5% glycerine in a cosmetic formulation.
- September 28, 2016 at 9:27 AM
- Susan Barclay-Nichols said...
Hi Soleil. I'm really confused about what you're making. It seems like you're making an anhydrous balm - one without water - to which you want to add a ton of glycerin, which is considered a water based ingredient. If you want to include it, then you have to use an emulsifier and preservative. You are now making a lotion if you do that, and this requires a lot more than just throwing a bit of this and a bit of that into a product.
I encourage you to read the newbie section of my blog to learn about your ingredients because your questions will be answered there.
I wonder why you're making an anhydrous balm instead of a conditioner for your hair? Oils do very little for our hair compared to a good conditioner, and this is true for all hair types.
If you're new to making products, don't try formulating without knowing your ingredients. Find a tried and true recipe and make that. Over time, you'll come to learn what each ingredient brings to the party and you can start making your own modifications. But you can't run before you walk.

I probably sound like a dumbass, but I'm planning to make a sugar scrub as a gift and the oil in it will be coconut oil, and I was considering adding a bit of liquid glycerin to help preserve it (my mother has apparently done so with great success). Would this need to be refrigerated (other ingredients are ground coffee, cinnamon, and a tiny bit of pure vanilla extract made with alcohol), or would just sitting in a sealed jar be fine? I do have to mail it, so that's important, as well as about how long it would last. The recipe doesn't say how long it lasts ^^;

When Richie Rossiter, once a famous pianist, dies unexpectedly, Chrissie knows that she must now tell the truth to their three daughters: their parents were never married. Yet there is one more shock to come when Richie's will is read. It seems he never forgot the wife and son he left behind years ago—Margaret, who lives a quiet life of routine and work, and Scott, who never knew his famous father. Now two families are left to confront their losses and each other, and none of them will ever be the same.
Witty, intelligent, and insightful, The Other Family is a story of modern family life from one of our most beloved authors of domestic fiction.

An unexpected line in a will leads to complications and new beginnings in Trollope's eminently readable latest (after Friday Nights). The novel opens outside London with the sudden death of Richie Rossiter, a once-popular pianist whose star has been on the wane for some time. Chrissie, Richie's partner for the past 23 years, is shocked to learn that Richie has left his piano and his early musical estate to his "other family"—Margaret, the wife he never divorced, and their son, Scott, now an aimless bachelor. Soon after, Chrissie's youngest daughter, Amy, becomes fascinated with her father's original family and his humble roots, leading to a tentative friendship with her half-brother that may result in new opportunities for both of Richie's families. At times, the grieving characters—particularly Chrissie—seem excessively distraught about trivial matters, but Trollope's keen ear for dialogue and her pointed development of secondary characters keep the novel on the safe side of overwrought, while the hopeful if too tidy conclusion highlights the sometimes surprising possibilities that can emerge in the wake of grief. (Apr.)
Trollope's latest packs a punch
When Richie Rossiter, an acclaimed songwriter and pianist adored by his avid—if aging—public, dies suddenly in London, he leaves behind not one, but two grieving families. Chrissie, 20 years his junior, whom he never married, bore him three daughters: 20-somethings Tamsin and Dilly, and Amy, 18. Then there's Margaret, the faithful wife he abandoned 23 years earlier up north in Newcastle when their son Scott was just a teenager.
The stage is thus set for Trollope's latest spot-on, engaging novel of family dynamics spanning generations. Kept separate both physically and emotionally by Richie for all those years, the two families are forced by his death to relate, at least on some minimal level.
Margaret had a wretched upbringing; her marriage to Richie, a friend since childhood, was the highlight of her life. She managed his concerts and gigs, always the faithful helpmate. Scott was devastated when his father left, and he is stunned to see Chrissie and the three girls at the funeral.
But then Trollope deftly injects a twist into what might have been an overworked "wife replaced by a younger woman" plot—the will. For Richie has left his beloved Steinway and the copyrights to all his compositions to Scott and Margaret; the London house (a bit outdated) and savings (much depleted) to Chrissie. Not to mention the inheritance tax she's stuck with since she and Richie were never legally married.
Trollope is known for her well-drawn characters, offering empathetic glimpses into the lives of the English middle class—and her latest is a perfect example. Each of Richie's daughters reacts in her own way both to his death and to their altered circumstances. Chrissie herself is alternately embarrassed and vengeful over the mess she has inherited. Scott begins to relish the experience of morphing from an only child to a big brother to three women, and Margaret discovers hidden assets she forgot she possessed, along with a desire to redo her former, dull self.
The Other Family will engage readers on many levels—its truths universal, and even its tragic moments delivered with Trollope's trademark underlying humor.

SALISBURY City FC have been told they must get their finances in order if they are to preserve their place in the Football Conference.
New owners Mark Winter and Otail Touzar had a board meeting with the Conference yesterday evening and were informed that the city club will remain in the division as long as outstanding debts are paid.
That includes covering the players' wage bills, which the Journal understands to be thousands.
"I am pleased to say Salisbury is still a Conference club. We have a few conditions to meet which we are confident we can," said dedicated supporter Mr Winter, 47.
City, who finished 12th last season on their return to the elite level of non-league, will be attending the Conference AGM today at Celtic Manor, Newport.
A statement from the Conference website reads: "In the case of Salisbury City, being represented by directors Mark Winter and Otail Touzar, the board unanimously agreed that the club can retain membership of the Ltd company and their place in the Football Conference providing financial payments are secured as directed by the board.
"Failure to meet the financial conditions imposed the club's membership would be revoked."
The pair have pledged to invest in the club to ensure it has a sustainable future.
Mr Touzar, a 31-year-old Moroccan businessman, is the main financial backer while Mr Winter, who coaches the Salisbury City under 11s side, will be running the club's business on a day-to-day basis.
The White's have suffered ongoing financial difficulties in recent years which culminated in a double demotion.
They are now back in the top flight of Conference football but need to settle their debts.

Here is my question: why are there so many dead raccoons on the side of the road on route 59?
Story time: one time, I shot a baby goose in the eye. It was not on purpose. I was aiming this little pellet gun we have at the butt of a big goose to get it to GET THE HECK OFF OUR BEACH, because the large and irritating geese poop everywhere and I would like to be able to walk in my back yard without stepping in crap. The pellets in this gun sting big geese, but don't hurt them, and it teaches them not to come back. Case in point: we have very few geese haunting our beach at the moment, so HA. Anyway, I have poor aim and I shot a baby goose and it died and it's very sad.
Okay, you know what? It's not that sad. There are so many freaking geese around here. Did I cry when it died? No.
The point of this story is to establish that I am not easily affected by dead animals. But there are so many dead raccoons! And they aren't the big, nasty raccoons that hiss at you when you take out the trash at night. They're these little baby raccoons with tiny paws and limbs sticking out at unnatural angles. Fluffy. Cute. What's with all the death?
Also, I have a message for a certain kind of person. There are four construction zones on the way to Naperville from Barrington. All of those zones require the right lane to merge with the left lane. So I dutifully get in the left lane at my earliest convenience and wait patiently in line with everyone else to get past the zone. The line usually goes back about a half mile, on a bad day. And there is always at least one butthole who zooms to the front of the line from who knows how far back and wedges his stupid car right in front of someone who has been sitting there for ten minutes. It's the adult version of cutting in line. So my message is: no cutsies, jerkface. Wait your turn.
In other news, I have 40,000 words finished in my revision of TM. I figure I have 35,000 to 40,000 left to write/adapt from the old draft. My goal is to have at least finished this draft, without a read over, by Sunday, and to send my partial in on Monday with the synopsis. There. Now that it's written down and floating around in the ether, maybe it will actually happen.
35,000 words in five days...that's 7,000 words a day. Crazy talk, Veronica. Crazy talk.

Share this conversation
replied 4 years ago.
Thank you for your question.
You will want a section that specifically defines the type of services you want them to perform.
You will want to add in provisions which make them an independent contractor.
It should look something like this:
A. Contractor is an independent business person and agrees that none of the terms of this Agreement shall be construed, whether directly or indirectly and under any circumstances, to infer that Company exercises control over Contractor, or that Contractor is an
of Company. Contractor shall be free to exercise judgment as to the companies and/or persons to whom it solicits under this Agreement, and the time, place, and manner of solicitation. Company and/or its Sales Manager may from time to time adopt regulations by which Contractor should operate its services under this Agreement to the extent that said regulations do not interfere with Contractor's freedom of action hereunder.
B. Contractor shall have complete discretion concerning: (1) when and where to work, however, Company and/or Company's Sales Manager reserve the right to designate the time(s) during the day when all applicable ESA Documentation will be distributed to Contractor and the times said forms will be returned to Company and/or Company's Sales Manager; (2) what tools or equipment to use (excluding the terms set forth in Section 1(D)(3); (3) what workers to hire or to assist Contractor with his/her work under this Agreement; (4) where to purchase supplies and related services; (5) what work must be performed by a specified individual; and (6) what order or sequence to follow in the fulfillment of his/her obligations under this Agreement (except for the requirements that Contractors actions be in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations).
C. Contractor shall not be reimbursed for any expenses and costs he/she incurs in the course of his/her work for Company, including but not limited to
, fuel, mileage, car rental or airfare costs, telephone charges, lodging, meals and entertainment costs. In addition, in the instance that Company and/or its Sales Manager provides Contractor with any equipment, such as mobile phone devices, tablets or computers, Contractor shall be solely responsible for any associated fees, costs of service, charges, damage, repairs, losses and replacement costs related to such equipment.
You should require that the Nurse have some sort of
liability insurance
that would cover any negligent acts that she/he may do while taking care of you.
You should then state clearly how and when they are paid and whether they must invoice you for their services.
You need a provision defining the term of the contract (i.e., that this contract shall be for a one year term and may be terminated upon 3 days notice by either party).
You need some general provisions like these:
A. No Waiver - No forbearance or neglect on the part of Company to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any of its rights or privileges hereunder, or affect its rights arising from any default, breach (material or not), or failure of performance by Contractor.
B. No Assignment - This Agreement is not transferable and/or assignable by Contractor unless agreed to in writing by Company. Company may assign this Agreement to an affiliate or any entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the assets of Company without the prior written consent of Contractor.
C. Governing Law - This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas applicable to contracts made and to be carried out in Texas (and without regard to principles of conflict of laws).
I. Entire Agreement - This Agreement, including any exhibits attached hereto, contains the entire agreement between and among the Parties and supersedes any prior understanding and/or agreements among or between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.
J. Agreement Binding - This Agreement may not be modified, changed or discharged, in whole or in part, except by an agreement in writing signed by the parties.
K. Amendment - This Agreement may be amended only by the written agreement of the Parties hereto.
L. Severability - Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, any provision or article declared unlawful or unenforceable by a court of law or regulatory agency with jurisdiction, or deemed unlawful due to a statutory change, will not affect the otherwise lawful provisions of this Agreement.
M. Section Headings and Construction - The headings of Sections and Sub-Sections in this Agreement are provided for convenience only and will not affect its construction or interpretation.
N. Signed in Counter-Parts - For the convenience of the parties, this Agreement may be executed by facsimile and in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and both of which taken together, shall constitute one agreement binding on both parties.
O. Warranty of Authority - Contractor warrants that the individual executing this contract on behalf of Contractor has the actual authority to bind Contractor herein. Contractor shall not contest the authority of the executing representative hereunder.
By the execution and acceptance of this agreement, the parties acknowledge that they have read and understood each provision. This agreement, although drawn by Company, shall be construed fairly and reasonably, and not more strictly against one party than against the other.
These are the basics that I would put in a contract and these are just examples for you to follow (don't copy and paste because you need to redraft to fit your specific situation).
Please let me know if you have further questions. Please also consider rating my answer positively so that I am compensated by the website for my work on y our question.

When you say that NC does not require you to have liability insurance, what do you mean by putting that in the contract? Do you mean you want the contract to state that? If so, it would be fine to simply put in a clause which states "Independent Contract is aware that Client is not required to carry liability insurance and Independent Contractor agrees to provide liability insurance which will cover Independent Contractor's work with client in an amount up to $_______________(for you to decide).
On the Supervisor question, you would put it in the Services Provided section:
In addition to Contractor's work providing all appropriate nursing services to client, Contractor shall also act as a supervisor of any other nurse hired by client and shall handle issues of scheduling,_________(etc.).

ROTHSCHILD, Wis. (AP) — Now that Kira Steger's husband has been convicted of murder in Minnesota, her family plans to lay her to rest.
Steger's funeral is next Saturday at St. Mark's Parish in Rothschild, Wisconsin. Her mother, Marcie Steger, says visitation will run from 11:30 until 12:30. The service will follow. She'll be buried at St. Michael's cemetery.
Steger's body was recovered from the Mississippi River in May. She was last seen alive in February having dinner at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minn., with the husband she planned to divorce, Jeffrey Trevino. Prosecutors told jurors that Trevino killed Steger because she was having an affair and wanted to leave him.
Trevino was convicted of second-degree murder October 2nd. His attorney has asked a judge to dismiss his conviction.

Newsstand: July 21, 2014
The weekend was jam-packed with news from all over the world. Here's some local flavour. The provincial government wants to increase the aviation fuel tax, a factory in the Junction Triangle is upsetting residents, and the provincial Liberals are playing hardball with a First Nations community.
Part of the Liberals' ambitious budget calls for $29 billion dedicated to transit and infrastructure over the next decade. To pay for that, they've introduced a measure to raise the aviation fuel tax by four cents per litre over the next four years, from 2.7 cents to 6.7. The increase will leave Ontario with one of the highest aviation fuel taxes in North America, and will cost airlines an estimated $100 million, which some fear will be passed on to the consumer by way of higher ticket prices. Another possibility is that airlines will circumvent the tax by fuelling up outside the province.
Gentrifiers often want the gritty feel of an undiscovered pocket of urban territory, but rarely want to deal with the factors that might have kept that pocket undiscovered. Such is the case in the Junction Triangle, where the Nitta Gelatin plant produces unpleasant odours and has attracted 106 complaints since 2003. Almost half of the complaints have come in the first half of 2014. Product manager Randy Robinson promised residents that the company "is dedicated to removing all the odours," and the plant has changed the way it disposes of waste water, which appears to have mitigated the smell to some extent. Still, Toronto Public Health has ruled the emissions aren't toxic, and the plant isn't violating any laws, leaving complaining residents without some potentially helpful tools in their fight against the smell.
Despite their decidedly pro-First Nations rhetoric during the provincial election, the Liberal government has told a First Nations community the province will not provide any of the $16 million needed to improve transmission lines for a new hydroelectric project. The project, situated on the Namakan River and proposed by the Lac La Croix band, may provide some much-needed economic development for the community, and elders say that the former Ontario Hydro promised to upgrade an existing transmission line. That promise has not been fulfilled.

UFC 146 was a battle of the Goliaths ending quicker than scheduled due to a night full of finishes that did not disappoint.
Main Card
Lavar Johnson was looking to knock out the "Skyscraper". They clinch, Stefan Struve jumps guard and submits Lavar Johnson with his superior grappling via armbar in Round 1 ending this bout in 1:05.
Stipe Miocic wins over kickboxing standout and Strikeforce veteran Shane Del Rosario. Del Rosario comes out kicking the midsection in the 1st round with success. Miocic takes Del Rosario down at the end of the 1st and makes adjustment for the 2nd. Round 2 Miocic takes the kickboxer down in D1 fashion with a brutal ground and pound for the TKO in 3 mins and 14 seconds of the second round.
Roy "Big Country" Nelson made quick work of Dave Herman. Herman's game plan was to come out, push kick and jab to keep the shorter Nelson away. Herman throws a jab and Big Country capitalizes with his signature overhand right putting Herman on his back side. "Big Country" pounces with one more strike and the fight is over in 51 seconds.
Co-Main Event
Cain Velasquez needed to make a statement due to losing his last bout and title as UFC Heavyweight Champion. Velasquez came fit and focused to fight Antonio "Big Foot" Silva. It was short elbows, punches and Big Foot's blood making this bout look like a horror show ending in Round 1 3:36 via TKO. Velasquez came to make a statement and the statement was made.
Main Event
Junior Dos Santos successfully defends the heavyweight title opposite Frank Mir via TKO Round 2, 3:04. The Rocky theme song that played during JDS' entrance seemed suiting with the way the 2 Rounds went down. JDS displayed his superior boxing skills while Mir never really got it together – solidifying JDS as the undisputed UFC Heavyweight Champion.
UFC is at its best with spectacular finishes and submissions.

Can I seek advice from a CEO who started a business like mine a long time ago?
I started an RTD tea-producing company, with my own brand name, and I am going through many obstacles and challenges that are slowing me down dramatically. I was wondering if it is a good idea to contact a CEO/ owner of a multimillion-dollar company for lunch or meeting for advice, encouragement and motivation. If it is proper, how do I approach him? Is it OK to call on the phone?
I'd suggest seeing if anyone in your network can facilitate the introduction first, or see if there is a place you might be able to meet one or more of your industry's leaders at national or regional conferences, or at other venues where they might be speaking.
If not, then pick up the phone and tell the gatekeeper your story. Keep your pitch lean and mean, and ask if they would be willing to chat first (it's unlikely that a major CEO will agree to meet a complete stranger without some kind of vetting process or formal introduction.)
I'd also suggest looking into the food industry for other well-established entrepreneurs. Go into any gourmet food store and you'll find an array of companies to choose from right on the shelves. If you don't already belong to The National Association for the Specialty Food Trade (NASFT), then make inquiries about joining as they are a great gourmet food organization. The idea is to seek out a few different successful tea entrepreneurs, as they may be more likely to help you sort through your challenges (just in case the CEO you were referring to comes from a major national brand). Another tip: Google "tea entrepreneurs" and check into what pops up!
Wishing you success!

Games #1-4: Saint Mary's (0-0, 0-0 West Coast Conference) at CSU Northridge (0-0, 0-0 Big West). All games played at Matador Field in Northridge, Calif.
Friday: Mark Anderson (SMC, 8-6, 3.50 ERA in 2011) at Jerry Keel (CSUN, 6-3, 2.07), 2:00 p.m.
Saturday: Ben Griset (SMC, 2-8, 4.39) at Harley Holt (CSUN, 0-3, 3.71), 11:00 a.m.
Saturday: Jordan Mills (SMC, 4-5, 5.40) at Louis Cohen (CSUN, 7-2, 5.86) 30 min after game one
Sunday: Ryan Brockett (SMC, 1-1, 2.50) at Calvin Copping (CSUN, freshman/first collegiate game), 1:00 p.m.
Saint Mary's begins the 2013 season with many new faces, mixed in with the veteran upper classmen. On the mound, the Gaels welcome back Friday starter Mark Anderson, who missed all of last season with Tommy John surgery. Anderson won a combined 13 games in 2010 and 2011, which included eight complete games.
With two valuable starters coming back from Tommy John surgery (Anderson and Kurt Jahnke), the Gaels are also stocked with starting pitching depth with eight players who can be considered starting pitchers. Those include Mills, Griset and Brockett, who are starting the weekend games for the Gaels.
The bullpen is anchored by Patrick Keane who went 4-0 with seven saves last season. Keane had a 2.44 ERA and struck out 36 batters in 48 innings of work.
At the plate, Collin Ferguson returns as SMC's leading hitter. As a freshman, Ferguson was named a Louisville Slugger freshman All-American and hit .315 with 18 extra base hits. Brendan Kalfus also returns in right field after earning WCC All-Conference honors, hitting .322 in conference play.
Cal State Northridge comes off a 23-30 record in 2012 and a 13-12 mark at home. The Matadors were predicted to finish eighth out of 10 teams in the 2013 Big West Preseason Coaches Poll.
On the mound, CSUN features Keel, the 2012 Big West Freshman of the Year. Keel went 6-3 with a 2.07 ERA, leading the Matadors and earning the Friday starter position.
Miles Williams returns for the Matadors after leading CSUN in runs scored and RBI. Cal Vogelsang also returns after hitting .278 with a team-high 11 doubles.
After the four game series in Northridge, Saint Mary's returns home for its home opening series against Chicago State. On Friday February 22nd, the Gaels face the Cougars at 2:00 p.m. at the new Louis Guisto Field.

The Sisters of the Holy Names of Mary and Jesus closed the sale on their property at 100 Prospect Ave. on Aug. 26, with SummerHill Homes of Palo Alto emerging as the buyer.
The selling price of the approximately 11.8-acre property was not released.
The sisters had originally hoped to build a continuing care facility at the convent that would serve older nuns, but that proved too expensive.
As a result, most of the nuns have moved to Our Lady of Fatima Villa in Saratoga and the Merrill Gardens Retirement Community in Campbell.
The Villa Holy Names, which is near the convent, has been retained as a residence for a few remaining sisters.
This past March, the town approved plans to build 17 homes on the property. The sisters worked with the town to design a housing plan that would retain the property's bucolic character.
"The proceeds from the sale of the Los Gatos property represent critical funds necessary for future health care and housing needs of our aging members," Sister Mary Pat LeRoy said in a letter dated Aug. 27. "As Sisters of the Holy Names, we are solely responsible for our financial administration and planning, pooling our earned resources and using gifts to support our ministries and our sisters, especially for the care of our frail members."
Sister LeRoy said the needs of convent members have changed since the order first moved to Los Gatos after World War II.

Keep kids learning
Worried your kid forgets everything they've learnt when not at school? Here's how to keep their brain sharp. more
Download our BUMPWATCH Pregnancy Tracker. Everything there is to know week by week. FREE
Deciding just when is the right time to tell people the news of your pregnancy is a very personal thing.
Some women can't keep the secret at all and start spreading the news as soon as they have found out themselves.
Others have just a very small group of close friends and family that they want to tell - perhaps a mother and father, a best friend, and a brother or sister.
Then there are those who prefer to play it safe and wait until the antenatal screening and tests are complete, just to make sure that the pregnancy is a healthy one.
There are no rules regarding what is right or wrong. It's definitely a case of what is right for you.
If you do choose to tell people in the earliest stages of your pregnancy, you should, though, be emotionally prepared to un-tell them, in the unfortunate event that should the pregnancy may not proceed as planned. It is estimated that one in four pregnancies ends in miscarriage
There is no obligation to inform your employer of your pregnancy immediately but do make sure you find out your company's policy on just what is appropriate notice.
Even though it does seem like a long way off, a little thought about how far into your pregnancy you plan to work, and when, if at all, you intend to come back to work post-baby. Your employer has a right to discuss this all with you so it is good to have some answers ready.
Before you speak to your employer, take some time to understand your maternity leave entitlements.

Georgia Launches Web Resources for Lawyers Serving Service Members and Veterans
Thursday, November 04, 2010
- State Bar of Georgia Pro Bono Project
- Source: Georgia
ATLANTA (Nov. 10, 2010) – As Veterans Day approaches, the Georgia Legal Services Program has launched a new website to help lawyers in Georgia better serve veterans and service members in need.
In response to the growing need for legal assistance, Georgia Legal Services and the State Bar of Georgia Pro Bono Project teamed up to create an online resource to encourage and support lawyers in delivering critical legal help to our country's defenders. The website is also designed to support the work of the Military Legal Assistance Program of the State Bar of Georgia, a new initiative that connects pro bono and reduced-fee lawyers with veterans and service members in Georgia.
There are more than 772,000 veterans in Georgia, and thousands more active duty service members are based there. Many of them face legal needs outside the scope of what the military can assist with, but lack the funds for a private attorney. Such problems might include family law, such as divorce, child custody or child support; landlord/tenant and other housing issues; disability claims; and consumer issues.
The site, www.GeorgiaAdvocates.org/GAMLAP, provides lawyers with support materials, online training and other resources to help them assist veterans and service members in Georgia with civil legal problems. The site will also be used to help place specific cases with pro bono attorneys. Visitors to the site have access to LiveHelp, a real-time, online chat service that helps guide advocates to the information and resources they need.
The Military Legal Assistance Project site is part of GeorgiaAdvocates.org, a comprehensive online resource for pro bono and legal services attorneys. GeorgiaAdvocates.org is among a network of statewide legal aid web sites in 28 states that leverage a technology platform developed by Pro Bono Net, a national nonprofit that works to increase access to justice. Pro Bono Net helps legal aid, pro bono and court partners within the network to share new ideas and best practices, allowing innovative models of service delivery to be replicated.
"The legal problems of service members often have unique issues, and there are special federal laws that protect them in the area of employment law and consumer law, for example," said Mike Monahan, Director of the Pro Bono Project and manager of the new Military Legal Assistance Program website. "With the new website, we can keep the unique military and veterans law issues on the radar screen of our advocates."
"We're proud to have worked with Georgia Legal Services and the State Bar of Georgia on this important project," said Allison McDermott, Deputy Director of Pro Bono Net. "We look forward to working with other state partners to leverage their hard work so that pro bono lawyers around the country can more easily volunteer to address the needs of veterans and service members in their communities."
Attorneys wishing to get involved in helping service members and veterans – or who are already involved in doing so - should visit www.GeorgiaAdvocates.org/GAMLAP.
