What makes us want to have more than others? Explaining relative consumption effects of public and private goods
AbstractWe conduct a survey with 264 participants to test for relative consumption effects of national and local public goods as well as private goods. In contrast to previous results, we find that relative consumption effects are more pronounced for private goods than for public goods. Our second finding is that relative consumption effects are less pronounced for local public goods than for national public goods. We discuss and test different explanations for a good's degree of positionality and find that these can, in part, account for our results very well. --

Remember Me
IRON COUNTY—No driver has clinched the points championship in any of the 11 MASTERS Racing Circuit Drag Series Classes. Two classes have a tie for the lead, with two races to go. That is in Mod-6 and Open Mod. In Mod 6, Matt LaCosse of Champion and Derek Peterson of Atlantic Mine are knotted up at 19 points each. Tom Hodges of Lake Linden is right behind with 17 points and Jim Johnson of Skanee has 16 points. Two drivers from Iron County are at the top in Open Mod. Jeff Szanto of Crystal Falls and Louie Goldbach of Iron River both have 19 points. Peterson is next at 16, with Goldbach's team-mates, Rudy Vincent of Iron River at 15 and Jerry Bushell of Laurim also at 15.
With the MASTERS Racing Circuit having two races left for the season, the race for the Stock 700 and Open Stock Championship has two drivers battling it out. In Stock 700, Hodges is leading Peterson, 22-20, but in Open Stock, Peterson has a two-point lead over Hodges, 19-17. Peterson and his Polaris have a three-point lead over Hodges and his Arctic Cat, 19-16. In Mod-7, Peterson is holding on to a narrow two-point lead over Hodges, 18-16. Two Ski-Doo drivers are fighting for the Mod-8 Championship. Szanto has 23 points and Vincent is sitting at 19. Szanto has the upper hand on the most coveted championship of all; that is in Top Gun. With Top Gun wins at the Wisconsin Snow Drags and the Chippewa Sno Kats Snow Drags, Szanto has 27 points. Peterson is in second with 19. Peterson holds a commanding lead to un-seat the 2011 High Point driver, Matt LaCosse by having picked up 149 points. LaCosse is currently in second with 108. Both Peterson and LaCosse hold commanding leads in Stock 6 and Mod 5. Peterson has a 14-point lead over Lacosse in Stock 6, while LaCosse has a nine-point lead over Chaz Forcia of L'Anse in Mod 5, 19-10. "However, no point lead is safe as we head into what many expect will be a large driver turnout. That being the Uphill Drags at Marquette Mountain in Marquette on April 7, and the Snow Drags at Big Powderhorn in Bessemer on April 14. The points are all based upon the number of drivers in the class. With a class of 15 drivers, the winner in that one class will pick up 17 points," explained MASTERS Racing Circuit President Skip Schulz. Drivers are reminded to pre-register for the April MASTERS Racing Circuit events. This also includes the Snowmobile Hillclimb at Big Powderhorn on Sunday, April 15. The MASTERS will have pre-registration on the Friday night before Marquette Mountain and Big Powderhorn. The pre-registration on Friday Night is for the classes that did not fill up, according to Schulz. "As hard as it is to believe, we have had drivers that did not run in any of the previous four MASTERS Racing Circuit Drag races that came to Marquette and beat our circuit drivers. That is not uncommon, as all our races are open to everyone," concluded Schulz. The MASTERS also runs a 120cc class for children between four and nine at the three remaining events. With 12 or more entries in the Top Gun class, the winner in that class at Marquette Mountain will win $500 from Midway Rentals of Marquette. The Marquette County Convention and Visitors Bureau, Holiday Inn of Marquette, Pat's Motorsports-Yamaha of Greenland have all signed on as sponsors of this long-running snowmobile race. The Point and the Bay Radio stations will be the official radio stations of the races. The MASTERS is working on additional people to sponsor the event. For driver registration and information, you're asked to e-mail Schulz at email@example.com or go to www.mastersracing.net. For lodging information, contact the Marquette Country Convention and Visitors Bureau at (800)544-4321 or call the Marquette Holiday Inn at (906) 225-1351.

Every day South Dakota Highway Patrolmen have close encounters.
This past weekend a trooper in Sioux Falls was hit and injured.
Now the South Dakota Highway Patrol is reminding drivers to slow down and move over.
They're all over the roadways; police cars, fire trucks, ambulances and plow trucks.
When you see these officials vehicles, South Dakota state law says you're required to slow down and move over.
"The yellow lights apply to anything with yellow lights on it going down the road; a snow plow a vehicle stop. You've gotta use caution around any of that stuff," Highway Patrolmen TJ Serr said.
Every year state troopers are hit by cars on South Dakota roadways, Serr says he has had a few close calls of his own.
According to state law, when an emergency vehicle has its red lights on, you are required to stop no matter what direction you're traveling.
When state vehicles are flashing yellow lights on a two lane highway you are asked to slow down by at least 20 miles per hour and move over to the next lane.
"We've had too many troopers get hit over the past few years on the side of the road. What we see in this area mostly is just people not slowing down," Serr said.
We spoke with some drivers in town to find out what they know about the law.
"I wasn't aware, ya know, looking at that know that yellow meant slowing down to 20. If it's blue or red stop completely. Kinda for me it was always vehicles," Driver, Alyssa Voeller said.
"I have been, like I said probably didn't years ago, but when I see an amber light up ahead now I slow clear down and try to pull as far as I can, and hopefully watch over your left shoulder and make sure somebody else isn't coming faster," Driver, Richard Baloun said.

By Christian Jennings - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) – As Congress debates the income tax in Washington, business owners and accountants are in limbo waiting to find out the 2011 income tax rates.
CPA Richard Brown works with multiple Southwest Georgia businesses with tax planning and counseling.
He says in his 15 years in the business, it's the first time he can remember going into the new year not knowing what tax rates will be in place and says its an inconvenience for business.
"There's tax deductions or expenses you can take for purchasing equipment in service in a tax year. But not knowing what the tax rates may be in 2011 you know, some businesses may hold of purchasing that equipment," said Brown.
The current tax rates are set to expire January 1st. The new tax package combines extended tax cuts from the Bush era with extended unemployment benefits, tax breaks and a payroll tax holiday.

REVIEW: Girl Talk – All Day
Fuck. He's done it again. Seriously. I'm massively enamored with Gregg Gillis' (a.k.a. Girl Talk) work already, but to follow on from 2008′s brilliant Feed The Animals, he's released this album for free. He tweeted, "Anyone want to hear my album right now?" and then "My new album is called All Day. I've been working on it for more than 2.5 years. I'm releasing it within the hour for free" I was flipping out. I did not think this day would in anyway be remarkable. Then Girl Talk springs this! In a recent Pitchfork interview it gave the impression that the album wouldn't be out for a while. But today of all days. Dropped it because he can. I can imagine the finished body of work being a pent up frustration for him and wanting to get it out there, this was the quickest way to do it.
The samples come thick and fast as ever. Opening with a Black Sabbath mix that he's been playing live, as shown in the Chicago New Year's Eve film, although to list them would prove a hard, lengthy exercise, I can guarantee you will undoubtedly recognize around 80% of what is going on at anytime. There is so much going on. It seems just as busy as his previous albums, Feed The Animals and Night Ripper, but there is breathing space between mixes and samples, letting you enjoy them, a wise move from Gillis. This hectic and eclectic mix is by far one of the best things released this year. The same old arguments that he's just taking other people's musical talent are bound to crop up, yet Girl Talk makes something almost completely new from other music. Plus, he has already created for himself an incredibly unique legacy in his disparate, sample-filled discography.
There's mixes like M.O.P.'s "Ante Up" and Miley Cyrus' "Party in the USA" that are fucking impressive. Totally mental and unorthodox, but what else would you expect from the master of the mash-up? Truly an artist of this generation's perpetual attention deficit disorder. Lady GaGa, Iggy Pop and the Beastie Boys in one segment? Check. Biggie rapping over Cream's eternal hit "Sunshine of your Love"? Check. Mixes like this just seems to totally make sense when heard. The artificial construction definitely breeds some kind of natural quality and I, like I imagine many others, probably struggle to realise that he's actually completely changed song or segment until you hear a ridiculously good part that you recognize. There is a real subtlety of transition, with the amount of layers there must be, making the mix fluid and not choppy or littered with blanks, basically, it flows. Beautifully.
Like what has come before it, you cannot deny the excellence of Girl Talk. Brilliant mix after mix that, despite any resistance will get you dancing. Also, against what Greg Gillis said himself, in the fact that his albums and live set are separate entities, you cannot help but feel that this is the kind of set he would play live. It's a party mix, undoubtedly. Brilliance from song to song, that will get people going. There's too much that is already in the sphere of pop juxtaposed against the kind of music that generally isn't to make an anomaly of an album, that despite the possibilities of commercial misgivings will always connect with a certain audience. I've been waiting for the chance to see Girl Talk for the last two years. If such chance happens to crop up, you know that I will be there.
I cannot recommend it enough. Download right now, via the Illegal Art website. You need this record in your life. Get a couple of choice cuts below, but make sure you listen to it as a whole.

I actually found it to be lackluster. His previous efforts were so energetic. This one felt way too laid back for my tastes. Oh well, Ludachrists new album "Talk Is Cheap" is awesome at least.
I think downplaying the energetic sides has let the samples and mixes breath a little, there's a nice solid pacing throughout in my opinion, but you are right, in comparison to the others, it's a little more laid back. And I need to get on that Ludacris album!
Hate to see it, but I completely agree. I get that he was going for more "laid back" but the way it came out just felt lazy (which seems like an odd impression to come away with, considering the claims that he's labored over this album more than any other).
One of the most exciting things about "Feed the Animals" was just how quick new samples and combinations were thrown at us. The quick change-ups – which were always seamless, by the way – were just as impressive as the combination of samples themselves. The rapid-fire style was a big part of what made "Animals" so mind-blowing.
But on "All Day", samples linger way longer than it seems they should, making some sections pretty monotonous and ultimately kind of boring (as I was listening, I couldn't help but think more than once, "Okay, time to move on …"). And worse yet, many of the transitions here felt uncharacteristically rough. It just didn't have the same flow as "Animals".
There were a few moments that were brilliant. The intro was fantastic. And Lil Jon's "Get Low" against Simon & Garfunkel's "Cecilia" in the track "This is the Remix" was one of those classic, transcendent Girl Talk moments that made me grin like an idiot. But where those moments were all over "Feed the Animals" (and in slightly lesser abundance, "Night Ripper"), they were pretty scarce throughout "All Day".
"Feed the Animals" was perfect all the way through – it doesn't feel like there's any point of the album weaker than the rest. Can't say the same of "All Day". I look forward to listening to the album again, but on first listen, I was pretty disappointed. It was felt less like Girl Talk, and more like pretty-good-but-not-quite-right impression of Girl Talk.
But oh, just to add: My rant aside, I totally appreciate your review! I know a lot of people are gushing over the new album, and I completely understand why. It just wasn't quite what I was looking for (and I suspect my ridiculous love for "Feed the Animals" set up these insane expectations that just couldn't have been met).
So yeah, despite our disagreement, good write-up!
Haha, thanks! Now, to rant back a little;
I totally get your point of view, but I have to disagree, I feel that when you listen to it you can hear the effort and patience, I think that he aimed more to create something that refined what he has done before. In my opinion, it's as brilliant as any of his prior work. I don't want to downplay how good Feed The Animals is, because it has and always will be fantastic, but at times I felt it was much too quick, and had too much going on that hearing it, in effect, lazier made some seem better to me, if that makes sense?
Also, Night Ripper, I think I consider that my favourite, purely for such memorable parts like the Ciara/Ludacris/Prodigy opening and Biggie's "Juicy" over an Elton John song, of which I forget the name. You are right though. He has set himself a pretty high bar in terms of follow ups, with such a solid discography already. Again, glad you appreciated the review, I like to think that I'm gushing over it purely because I've been a pretty avid follower since Feed The Animals dropped, and I've definitely been anticipating it for a long time.
Yeah, I get ya too. Haha.
I think, really, I just need to listen to it again. Second time around, with my expectations adequately beaten down, I'll be able to take it the album that it is – rather than the album I was expecting it to be ahead of time. I don't doubt that I'll come to appreciate it more over time.
Ha, you're thinking of the Elton song "Tiny Dancer" on "Night Ripper". And yeah. That was classic.
Haha, I think you could definitely eventually appreciate it as a different beast altogether. And yes! that is the song I was thinking of. I'd have to name that mix, in my opinion, my single favourite Girl Talk moment.
lackluster for sure. Definitely lacking the energy that put his mixes into the realm of awesome, leaving just another mash-up artist. It no longer has the wow factor that it used too, and also seems less full. Of course there are some great parts, but I think he no longer distinguishes himself from other dexterous djs. also his references are preeeetttyy played out…
Nice review. Some moments are transcendent – like Miley Cyrus and "Ante Up", Portishead and Big Boi, ODB over "Creep", etc. As always, the final 10 minutes are fantastic. He knows how to put a button on his records.
So disappointing. From the first hit of "War Pigs" my hair sprung up with goosebumps; this was going to be an epic album. But then…. nothing happens. The song doesn't develop, the backing beats are looses, the blends aren't tight and the samples go on for too long. What made the first two albums great was the quickness and tightness of the beats. These samples are much to spaced out and don't flow as well as past albums. Pacing also rarely changes. The album gets slicker as it goes on, but the first 1o minutes could be cut and trimmed out with no real loss. Hopefully since he released it online he can do a little power editing and remix it for the live shows.
it's decen enough, no feed the animals, but the biggest downer is it sounds like DJ cobra, hood internet, or e603. they hit a lot of these same samples HARD in the albums they've put out in the time since feed the animals came out, and now GT's latest sounds like a knockoff oddly. GT still KILLS it live though. bootlegs are his best work.
interesting opinions, i wasn't too impressed either and have been listening for 10 minutes to feed the animals and remembering why i felt it was so much better. but with the review in my ill give all day another try and see if i can follow the reasoning.
this guy's not trying to win grammys here with his shit… he knows what he's got going. just a bunch of mash-ups. there are only so many ways a mash-up can sound. everyone's heard the mash-up these days so it's hard to be creative and unique with new shit.
but all i gotta say is that nothing beats hearing some fresh girl talk. every second is something i didn't expect. i'm not looking for some inspirational music when i search 'girl talk' in my itunes i'm looking for something to vibe to. black and yellow over paint it black??? i could not believe that. 412 ALL DAY
thank you for agreeing! I think people expected some kind of genre-changing album, when you can't really change the mash-up/bastard pop genre any more, he's just doing what he does best, refined over these last few big years for him.
Maybe, ironically, I'm the lucky one here for not even hearing about Girl Talk until this album came out. My friend sent me the link to download All Day and I listened to it today with no expectations. I absolutely loved it!
Then I bought Night Ripper and Feed the Animals and loved them too; but i guess I can see the disappointment for those that heard them first. In those albums you can see that he is trying to push the limit to mashing in all that he can in a unique way; All Day is much more relaxed. But for me, All Day is the standard for comparing his previous work which makes it so much better. For once it seems that missing the wave and jumping on the bandwagon is a good thing!!
Maybe I'm the only guy alive who hadn't heard of Girl Talk, but I think releasing this album for free is the smartest thing he could have done, especially if this genre is aging. There may be a lot of people like me who will buy his older stuff now.

A crowd of protesters gathered outside the main entrance to the Toledo Club where Mitt Romney held his fundraiser luncheon. Many of them we spoke with were union workers and say if Romney was president the job situation would be worse.
"Mitt Romney has told the American people what he thinks of American workers by shipping our jobs over seas fro pennies on the dollar." Says Mathew Rockwell
"He wanted the auto industry to go bankrupt and we disagree with that decision. We're so glad that president Obama bet on us and saved the auto industry and we have a job today." Says Tammy Vanriper
The presidential hopeful is facing growing pressure to release his personal tax returns to both sides of the house.
"He definitely need to release his taxes for more than anything to just let the people know that he's an honest man." Says Rockwell
Supporters were near by hoping to at least catch a glimpse of the man they feel should lead the country.
" You don't always get a chance to see someone of such political stature to often. I just think that the county needs to go into a different direction and I think that this guy is the one who's going to take us to that. Fight against the lies he's being portrayed as and bring out the truth of what this president is doing for our economy. " Says Charlie Pengov

SHELBYVILLE, KY (WAVE) - A Shelbyville auto parts factory is expanding and looking for new workers. It's a $12 million investment that will add 150 new jobs.
"It's a good day for us, it's been tough times to have to take the reductions we took, but the alternative may have been a lot worse," said Dwayne Gilbert, UAW 2383 President.
That's because back in June 2009, Martinrea Heavy Stamping almost closed its doors. While an agreement was eventually met to keep the Shelbyville plant going, 250 people still lost their jobs.
"With the downturn of the economy and the auto industry and us being directly tied to the Ford Explorer vehicle and that vehicle going by the wayside, we are down now to a total of 257 people in the plant," said Gilbert.
It's something that became all too familiar across our region. Plants in Louisville, Elizabethtown, and Bardstown have all felt the effects.
"The recent investment by Ford Motor Company coupled with Kentucky's proactive, positive business plan and highly capable and proactive work force is really what's pulled this expansion together," said Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear.
The auto supplier will now produce the parts for the next generation Ford Escape, which will be launched right down the road at the Louisville Assembly Plant.
"Hopefully this new wave of vehicles is going to be a good thing and I think the auto industry because of an almost total collapse changed their thinking about the vehicle that they need to be making," said Gilbert.
It's a new investment that the city of Shelbyville only sees as a positive one. "That's what we want are jobs created in Shelbyville, so our residents have a place they can work and make a living and stay right here," said Libby Adams, Executive Director of Shelbyville Industrial Development.
The company is hoping to start hiring new workers as early as the end of this year.

If not for a newspaper story a year earlier, Gyory would now be working on his gymnastics routines rather than flipping for the crowd at his first public appearance as the Lion at a recent gymnastics meet. "If I hadn't been selected as the Lion, I was planning to try out for the gymnastics team," Gyory said during a recent interview in the Hintz Family Alumni Center's Robb Hall.
Even with the encouragement of a past and current Lion, several obstacles remained for Gyory. Right after winter break, any student aspiring to be the mascot starts by completing a lengthy written application. Of the 12 initial candidates, eight finalists were selected to answer questions before a panel of nine judges and perform push-ups and skits while wearing the suit.
By all accounts, Gyory aced his tryout. His skit involved a James Bond-type scenario with the Lion rescuing a cheerleader and Joe Paterno from a menacing Notre Dame enemy. The skit showcased some of Gyory's gymnastics skills including a flip and break dancing. For his improvisation, the judges handed him a toilet bowl brush that he turned into a microphone and toothbrush before balancing it with his "paw." The last part of the tryout—the 50 one-arm push-ups—were no obstacle for a competitive gymnast used to executing iron crosses and other strength moves.
The business management major isn't worried about the time commitment. "I've been in the gym three to four hours per day, six days per week since I was a kid," he said. "I'm good at being organized."

Teens Discuss Smoking
When it comes to smoking, statistics are not in teens' favor.
An estimated four million children, ages 12 to 17 are smokers, reports the American Heart Association. More than 6,000 teens try a cigarette each day -- and half of these keep the habit.
Since most children are prone to pick up habits like smoking during adolescence, it's the time to teach them about the health risks associated with it. New legislation targeted at tobacco advertisements is doing just that.
Fortunately, most teens are listening.
While about 6,000 teens try a cigarette every day, many more have decided never to try one at all. "I think that smoking is disgusting and a waste of money," says Mallory, a 17-year-old from Leaf River, Ill. "I'd rather die of natural causes than something I caused myself. If you smoke, you obviously are going to die from something that you brought on yourself. If you don't smoke, your chance of dying from natural causes is so much greater. What's to think about?"
Message From Home
The strongest message teens say they hear about smoking comes from their parents – both the smokers and non-smokers.
"My parents both smoke, but I know that they both want to quit very badly," says Alec, 13, from Chester, Va. "They tell my younger brothers and me how hard it is to quit and how bad smoking has affected their health. They don't preach about it, but they do answer questions when we have them and use themselves as examples, which is cool. They aren't afraid to let me know that they don't want me to make the same mistake they did – and I won't."
Mallory's parents sent a clear message about smoking and health. "They have told me before that I shouldn't [smoke]," she says. "I run cross-country and track and I know that smoking will disable me from doing well in these sports. So I use common sense and I don't smoke."
Anti-Smoking Campaign
Anti-smoking advertisements have bombarded teens with vivid images: body bags around a tobacco company's home office and ticker boards that offer smoking statistics rather then stock prices. And teens have taken notice.
"I love the 'TRUTH' ads," says Alaina, a 13-year-old from Batavia, Ill. "I think they're awesome and really creative. If [teens] haven't noticed them yet, they probably will soon, because they are very popular where I live. I think that if they haven't started having the effect they are meant to have, they will in the near future."
Yet it's attitude, not ads, that will change teenagers' minds, Alaina says. "It all depends on what people take from the ads and whether the choice they choose is to change or not. Some will, some won't. No ad can change that."
Teens who have made the decision not to smoke state that even when approached they will stick to their "smoking" guns. "If someone offered me a cigarette or asked me to try one, I'd tell them that I don't smoke, and never will," says Holly, 16, from Springdale, Ark. "Then, I would simply walk off, because I'm proud that I don't smoke and I never will. Anyone who thinks I'm a 'goody-goody' can think that. All I have to say to that is 'Thanks, I'm proud to be one.'"
Not Cool
Gone is smoking's image of teenage "cool" and popularity.
"The last thing I think about when I see someone smoking is 'that's cool,'" Alaina says. "I think smoking is stupid. It's awful for your health, extremely unattractive and causes more bad than good. It's like signing your life away to death 40 years early."
She feels most of her peers share her opinion, having better sense than to start such a harmful habit. "Kids are smarter then most parents think," she says. "We know."

You probably think the title of this post has a little something to do with this:
Well, you would be right my friends.
You see, we are tackling a stone pillar that helps flank our driveway and True Value brought the goods…as in the glue.
It's been on our to-do list for quite some time (since June) and heaven knows why we didn't tackle it earlier…since literally it took us less than thirty minutes (and that includes the time it took us to walk down the driveway).
As most of you know, this house was a foreclosure…but what you probably didn't know was that it sat empty for close to two years after it was foreclosed on. That means that there was a heck of a lot of time for things to fall apart. And they did. It's an entropy concept and that's one point for homeschoolers.
So we had a few falling stones (err…faux stones made of concrete) from our pillar…and it was uber-simple to fix. We just picked up some Loctite Construction adhesive at True Value and applied it to the back of the stones.
It literally was as simple as second-grade-gluing. And now we have a very fixed stone pillar. And no…nobody is stoned
For a very exciting finale (not really that was sarcasm) here is a little video showing exactly how we did it:
"I was one of the bloggers selected by True Value to work on the DIY Squad. I have been compensated for my time commitment to the program as well as my writing about my experience. I have also been compensated for the materials needed for my DIY project. However, my opinions are entirely my own and I have not been paid to publish positive comments."

Lookin' good!
Just noticed your to-do list on the side of the blog – what a great idea.
October 13, 2011
Entropy. That made me smile (being an engineer and all).
Way to finish one of those little projects. The smaller they are, the harder they are to tackle. Our bedroom doorknob pulled off three months ago. We just fixed it Saturday

The title of this post got the song Love Stoned by Justin Timberlake stuck in my head. That's definitely not a bad thing… JT is the bacon of men.
October 13, 2011
That was the first time I heard J's voice…it totally wasn't what I was expecting! Funny how you imagine how people will sound and they never sound the way you think they will in your head.
Chelsea permalinkOctober 13, 2011
Me too! Although that accent makes him even more of a hottie tottie than before!
Amanda permalinkOctober 13, 2011
I miss living around those accents! Y'all are too cute… go Katie, get it girrrl.
Emily R. permalinkOctober 13, 2011
I wish my boyfriend had a Southern accent. He was born and raised in Atlanta. His parents have accents but he and his brother do not. Such a lucky girl Katie.
Chris permalinkOctober 13, 2011
I agree with Heather S. I've never heard J's voice and I didn't expect a southern drawl! Which makes sense, you guys being from the South and everything… I love accents. Ah, southern drawls… Probably going to be how Will sounds
October 13, 2011
I'm glad that was such an easy fix! Can't wait to watch the video when I get home
Brian permalinkOctober 13, 2011
If this kind of project should ever come up again, apply the adhesive, press the stone into place, pull it back off and let it sit for a minute or so (it will get tacky) and then press back in to place. Doing it this way will prevent you from having to hold the stone in place for so long.
Jamie permalinkOctober 13, 2011
Sometimes the little fixes are the best. You feel more accomplished and it takes one more thing off of your mind.
Question–I am looking at your to do list and was wondering what cabinets are you going to paint? Any particular color? Have you ever posted your color schemes?
Jamie permalinkOctober 13, 2011
And another thing regarding the to do list– If you are going to flip the boards on your deck, have you ever considered attaching them from the underside of the deck so that you don't see any screws on the top of the deck?
October 13, 2011
What an easy fix! Isn't it a great feeling to just check something of a list even if its small?? Have you guys considered painting your stone at all? Or maybe do a whitewash? Could be a nice touch.
Nina permalinkOctober 13, 2011
Totally unrelated to stonework – does your blog have a Facebook page? I just saw the funniest photo on Facebook and thought of you, but I can't find a page to "share" it with. I assume you've seen that quote that is so popular quote floating around lately: "10 years ago we had Steve Jobs, Bob Hope and Johnny Cash – Now we have no Jobs, no Hope and no Cash." Okay, now look at the photo:
I don't know if this link will work, but here it is:
Funny? Maybe it's just me…
Amy permalinkOctober 13, 2011
Why aren't any of your photos showing up in Google Reader? I just get the red X box & not photos…..
October 13, 2011
I've been meaning to ask you a photography Q for a few days now… When you go out (fair, pumpkin patch, etc) how do you decide which lens to take? I never know if I should take a fixed lens for the better quality or the stock lens for the ability to zoom. Thanks!
October 13, 2011
yay! looks good

Oh good lord, finally I found a blog with someone that HAS a tv mounted on top of the fireplace.
I only have this place to put my tv in and Im having major issues with hiding cables, placing cable box, ps3 etc. Can you please please please let me know what you did?
If you allow me to right an email I can send you a picture of my living room so you have an idea of the disaster.
Thank you so much!

Nobel laureate debuts work during Art San DiegoBy Sara Appel-Lennon
Wally Gilbert, co-recipient of the 1980 Nobel Prize in chemistry, now works with a computer and camera instead of test tubes and chemicals. Gilbert, a current Scientific Governing Board member of Scripps Research Institute, earned the Nobel Prize for discovering "Rapid DNA Sequencing" which transformed the field of molecular biology.
He has shifted his focus from science to digital photography because he was intrigued that he could create large images with a small camera. He prefers large images due to their emotional impact.
Gilbert takes photos of what might be interesting. "Innovative thinking creates random connections resulting in interesting combinations. I use camera and computer in an experimental fashion," said Gilbert. An image takes shape as he creates it.
Gilbert described the process of saving an original image on a computer while making revisions as "fully liberating from the constraints of classic art." Similarly, he believes the development of photography has transformed visual arts.
Gilbert taught various forms of biology for 25 years. In the 1950s while teaching Applied Physics at Harvard, his interest wandered to biology. Rather than continuing to teach the prescribed subject, he pursued his passion of conducting biology experiments. The dean agreed to create a field called biophysics, which allowed Gilbert to continue teaching to reach tenure. Again, he has changed fields.
Are art and science polar opposites? "No, not at all," said Gilbert. "Science and art unleash creative impulses — a desire to find new things about the world. Both require risk and experimentation. Both scientists and artists enjoy seeking what's new and different." Gilbert said most of his discoveries in biology were purely experimental.
With 29 solo art exhibitions during the past eight years, his digital art draws audiences around the globe. Some of his images are based upon his prior works of art. "Four Faces" is based on "Vanishing Profiles." He uses textures, layers, and shading "designed to entrance the eye."
In early 2007 Chang Kim, co-owner of CJ Gallery bought "Madrid," one of Gilbert's digital photographs. Kim displayed it with another artist's work to gauge interest. Kim received such a favorable response he asked Gilbert to present a solo exhibit.
During Art San Diego, CJ Gallery will host a reception featuring Gilbert's work 6 to 9 p.m. Sept. 4 at 343 Fourth Ave. in the Gaslamp district. R.S.V.P. at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Art San Diego
- What: 'It's an event showcase of leading established and emerging galleries and artists in the world,' said Ann Berchtold of Del Mar, ASD founder. 'Museum-quality art will be displayed by 47 galleries and 500 artists at the Hilton, a great deluge of everything art.'
- When: Noon to 8 p.m. Sept. 2-4; to 5 p.m. Sept. 5
- Where: Bayfront Hilton Hotel, 1 Park Blvd.,San Diego; (619) 564-3344
- Day pass, $15; opening night Awards Dinner, 7 p.m. Sept. 2, $75
- On the Web: www.artsandiego-fair.com/visitors.html
- Details: Mary Livingstone Beebe, of the Stewart Collection at UCSD, will speak on Sept. 4 at the 'Art in the City' conference

I've got a ton of respect for Michael, but I really feel like he was looking at me through too narrow of a lens.
And on the topic of being "able to achieve Gary Vaynerchuk results without having to put in Gary Vaynerchuk hours." — I *like* putting in Gary Vaynerchuk hours!
Whether you like it or not, every single one of you is now a media company. The tools are easy, free, and everywhere. More importantly, producing content is now the BASELINE for all companies. It literally doesn't matter what you do, if you're not producing content, you basically don't exist. So what's your excuse?
This one was awesome. I went on a tear about how boardroom politics are bullshit, how business schools are hopelessly unprepared, how being a junior brand manager sucks, and the ONE THING that brand marketers can do to help themselves. This one is really worth watching. Let me know what you think in the comments.
Even with all the talk about how we've embraced new media, people are still looking at the fundamental human elements of it in old-school terms and absolute numbers.
The scale of impressions, or the scale of followers is simply not the end game anymore. Sure it's a part of the equation, but to give that idea so much stock is just ludicrous and totally misses the point of what makes a platform like Twitter so incredibly unique.
I was up 5-2 in a tennis match today and it was Love-30 – he was serving. And I lost 7-5.
Two days ago, I was playing AJ in corn-hole. I was up 13-0 in a game to 15 in the third game of a three game series. And he came back and won.
These two comebacks and my lack of concentration to finish people off is totally unacceptable and crushes my soul. And now, my competitive spirit is at an all time high to never let it happen again. I am very upset. I am sorry to myself and to my family. Don't let this happen to you. Always concentrate and finish things off.
What's happening in 2010 is not that if you pray hard, or if you work really hard and "crush it" until 5 in the morning, that it's going to happen. What I am talking about and what I am outrageously passionate about and what I think about on a daily basis, whether it's consulting for my brands or it's for you at home right now who loves the smurfs and smurfs it up. It's not about the fact that if you work hard enough you'll get it it's a fact that it's practical to have that bat. It's like not everyone, I want to be freakin' Mark Sanchez and be the QB of the NY Jets, but I can sit here all I want, even if I trained football all day I dont know if you see it, its not…
I feel that if you don't have somebody in your organization or company that really is built or completely driven at some level by competition, that you can't win. That it is something that a lot of people need to consider. And for me the fact that I ripped out that article and the fact that really drove me.. and listen I know my role, I know my spot, which is I am nobody compared to most of the names there.. and so that is why I am not in the ad and I get it. But if you don't think that still drives me, if you don't think that ripping out that article, purely subconscious, and said "okay Audible.com, okay." You know, thats the kind of stuff that is absolutely backbone of the success that I have. And I…
Why do brands in any shape or form, and I've seen this a couple of times, think that it is a good idea to come on other fan pages in their genre and spam the wall? I haven't wrapped my head around it. It's not that effective for every one random lucky conversion you get you are losing 20 conversion potentials longterm and the people that hone these accounts like me, that could conceivably "biz dev" with somebody like this completely are put in a place where they are disgusted at best and they will never do business with you. I don't know. I've been seeing a lot of people more and more go to Facebook pages and leave offers or deals or trying to use it to syphon traffic. I think it is a grave mistake….
I am making some big changes for 2010 and it's because the reason I got to a place where I could write a book like Crush and people bought it or the fact that people want me to come and speak, I am here in Australia to speak at a conference, which by the way will be my last of 2010. I really need to start executing and I need to start learning again. I need to get smarter and the way I get smarter is by reading and living, putting my head down and executing, I need to taste it. One thing I pride myself in is the reason I come with such badass conviction every time is that I am not reading it on somebody else's blog. I am tasting that stuff. Thats how I roll. I live it.

Dry Cough Causes and Home Remedies for Dry Cough
Chronic (persistent) dry cough is a respiratory symptom of chronic hyperventilation and low body O2. Commonly causes of dry cough include health problems such as with asthma, bronchitis, COPD, cystic fibrosis, numerous lung conditions and during respiratory infections. It often gets worse during sleep or at night, on exertion, and after meals.
During normal breathing at rest the air travels though the nasal cavities at a speed of 8 km/h. When we cough through the mouth, the air rushes out through the airways at 120-160 km/h. This causes mechanical stress (irritation) and sudden CO2 losses with the following effects of alveolar hypocapnia (low CO2 levels in airways): bronchospasm (constriction of airways); irritable state of the cough receptors; and greatly increased mechanical friction in airways due to strong air flow. Later, due to reset in the breathing center, overbreathing and irritation of airways become chronic.
First of all, hundreds of scientific publications have proven that hyperventilation causes reduced body-oxygen content due to alveolar hypocapnia (low CO2 levels in the lungs). Furthermore, decades of medical research have proven that low CO2 over-excites nerve cells making them irritable. This effect (over-excitement of nerve cells) also takes place with the nerve cells that control the urge-to-cough reflex that usually appears due to some additional irritation (or trigger) in the chest or upper airways.
Bouts of coughing cause
(see references below):
- irritable state of cough receptors in the tracheobronchial tree and larynx due to hypocapnia (low CO2 in these nerve cells)
- constriction of airways due to hypocapnia (since CO2 is a bronchodilator)
- chronic respiratory infections and inflammation due to suppression of the immune system caused by cell hypoxia and other effects caused by hyperventilation.
Coughing through the mouth creates a
huge air pressure graduate that can easily damage or even rupture
alveoli, our tiny air sacks, which make gas exchange in the lungs
possible. Coughing is particularly dangerous for people with bronchitis
or emphysema. Hence, due to purely mechanical effects, coughing causes:
1) damage and rupture of tiny and fragile air sacks (alveoli) due to very large pressure gradient and sudden change in air pressure in the tissues of the lungs (lungs tissue is very weak and is easily damaged due to mechanical over stimulation caused by coughing)
2) mechanical irritation of the constricted and inflamed airways due to large movements of air and excessive friction due to sudden changes in pressure.
Hence, the more you cough (especially through the mouth), the more CO2 you remove, and the worse your symptoms become.
Natural Home Remedies for Dry Cough
Over 180 Russian medical doctors (practicing the Buteyko breathing method) developed simple breathing techniques to reduce coughing and eventually eliminate and get rid of all types of coughing symptoms, including dry persistent cough.
These doctors also discovered that this symptom usually disappears when the patients slow down their automatic breathing and get over 20 s for the body-oxygen test.

The role of cough and hyperventilation in perpetuating airway inflammation in asthma.
Singh V, Chowdhary R, Chowdhary N.
Department of Pulmonary Medicine, SMS Medical College, Jaipur-302 016, India.
Air flowing through a pipe exerts frictional stress on the walls of the pipe. Frictional stress of more than 40 N/m2 (velocity equivalent of air 113 m/s) is known to cause acute endothelial damage in blood vessels. The frictional stress in airways during coughing may be much greater, however, since the velocity of air may be as high as speed of sound in air. We suggest that high levels of frictional stress perpetuate airway inflammation in airways which are already inflamed and vulnerable to frictional stress-induced trauma in patients with asthma. Activities associated with rapid ventilation and higher frictional stress (e.g. exercise, hyperventilation, coughing, sneezing and laughing) cause asthma to worsen whilst activities that reduce frictional stress (Yoga 'Pranayama', breathing a helium-oxygen mixture and nasal continuous positive airway pressure) are beneficial. Therefore control of cough may have anti-inflammatory benefits in patients with asthma.

Clinical cough I: the urge-to-cough: a respiratory sensation.
Davenport PW.
Department of Physiological Sciences, Box 100144, HSC, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32610, USA.
Cough is generated by a brainstem neural network. Chemical and mechanical stimulation of the airway can elicit a reflex cough and can elicit a cognitive sensation, the urge-to-cough. The sensation of an urge-to-cough is a respiratory-related sensation. The role of the respiratory sensation of an urge-to-cough is to engage behavioral modulation of cough motor action. Respiratory sensations are elicited by a combination of modalities: central neural, chemical, and mechanical. Stimulation of respiratory afferents or changes in respiratory pattern resulting in a cognitive awareness of breathing are mediated by central neural processes that are the cognitive neural basis for respiratory sensations, including the urge-to-cough. It is proposed that the urge-to-cough is a component of the cough motivation-to-action system. The urge-to-cough is induced by stimuli that motivate subjects to protect their airway by coughing...

Unrestricted free agent forward Daniel Cleary did not report to Philadelphia Flyers training camp, according to multiple reports on Thursday morning.
Cleary had previously agreed to a professional tryout contract with the club that eventually would have led to a three-year, $8.25 million agreement to be signed in October. However, Elliotte Friedman of CBC first reported on Wednesday afternoon that a complication had arisen with the deal and Cleary would not be joining the Flyers. As of this writing, the extent of that complication has not come to light.
TSN's Aaron Ward reported on Wednesday that a meeting had taken place between Cleary, Detroit Red Wings manager Ken Holland and head coach Mike Babcock. Cleary had spent the past eight seasons with the Red Wings and expressed a desire to remain with the club (Babcock and Holland have expressed a mutual desire). However, Detroit has a considerable amount of depth at forward, in addition to a limited amount of cap space to work with (the latter being the bigger of the two issues).
Holland had previously stated that he presented multiple offers to Cleary over the offseason but was unable to present a proposal the two sides could agree upon. Whether the Red Wings have re-emerged as a suitor for Cleary remains to be seen but seems likely.
Detroit is entering camp with 16 prospective forwards and expects to carry 14 on the opening night roster.
Philadelphia manager Paul Holmgren stated on Wednesday that he expected Cleary to be in camp and had no indication otherwise. He has yet to comment further on the situation.

"Black Magic" Would be a Great Band Name
The funniest thing about this comic is that it's rooted firmly in reality. Granted, it's the reality in which everyone loves anime and Alex Mack is my girlfriend, but subjective reality is reality nonetheless.
Actually, I was going to lobby for today's comic to be about all the boys' nicknames, but they're definitely each deserving of their own strip. At the very least they deserve a list:
- Victor's nickname is "Cinnamon Buns". It should be noted that he doesn't eat pastries (he considers soft to be "the Devil's texture").
- Warren was known as Mayor McCheese for nearly a year due to a misunderstanding of slang terms.
- Everyone calls Walt "Battery" when he's not around. Take a guess why (Hint: it's because he beats people).
- Mick insists that we call him Asclepius because of the whole "healing people" thing. Most people eliminate a couple of the syllables in that one.
- Thedar is known as "Firestarter" around the apartment. No points for guessing what that means.
- Usually I call Kevin the "Spirit of St. Louis", mostly because half the time I don't understand what he means.
- As for me…well, indulge me…
At my high school we had four "colors" used to represent the school at all times. These colors were white and gray (old folk's colors), and gold (yellow) and purple. My school's theme song was called "The Purple and Gold", an allusion to the ridiculously gaudy colors our school chose to adopt. Of course, you have to understand that my school was founded by people who assumed gray and white to be too Communist; so essentially, unless you were a junior or senior you were expected to show your school spirit — "spirit" here being defined as "the reason that people beat you up".
Well, being the dapper man that I am, I decided to wear purple. You know, the royal color. The color of kings.
The color of Grimace, beloved Sesame Street icon.
Yeah, for about three years I was known as "Grimace", and not just because I walked around with a scowl on my face. That was my nickname, among several others that may be too raunchy to mention here. So unless you were forced to wear a purple sweater for two years, you should pay less attention to nicknames and more attention to…
Aw, man. I forgot my point.
- Chris

- The Beatles 1967-1970 (UK: Apple PCSP 718, US: Apple SKBO 3404, Apple CDP 0777 7 97039 2 0)
- Often considered John Lennon's masterpiece, this song was constructed by himself alone, with no band input, from several different sources. While at the piano in his Weybridge, London home during the fall of 1967, John heard a police car's siren outside his window and, liking what he heard, began playing along to it, thus creating the opening electric piano riff heard on the recording. At that time he also came up with the line "Mister city p'liceman," which fit thematically and rhythmically. He had two other lyrical ideas as well: the couplet "Sitting on a cornflake / waiting for the van to come," which was eventually used in the third verse, and a piece about "Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun," which became the song's bridge.
- The odd nature of the lyrics have their genesis in Lennon's love for absurd wordplay, particularly Lewis Carroll, who is most famous fo r his books Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There (1872). However, the main inspiration was a fan letter from Liverpool's Quarry Bank High School, which John had attended from 1952-1957. Apparently one of the headmasters had his students studying Beatles lyrics for "significance"; this amused John so much that he decided to make up a completely nonsensical song for them to figure out. Most of the lyrics were written on the spot, with Lennon turning to old friend Pete Shotton for assistance.
- The first lines written were the verse about "Yellow matter custard," which came almost directly from a pointedly rude childhood verse John had heard around town as a kid: "Yellow matter custard, green slop pie, all mixed together with a dead dog's eye / Slap it on a butty, ten foot thick, then wash it all down with a cup of cold sick." John changed the first half to "Yellow matter custard / dripping from a dead dog's eye," and went from there. When he finished, Shotton claims John turned to him and remarked gleefully, "Let the f*ckers work that one out, Pete!" (Lennon, however, stated in subsequent interviews that the lyrics were put together over several months and were inspired by a pair of acid trips.)
- Other phrases seem to have some relevance to outside influences. The opening line "I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together" is almost certainly a parody, unconscious or not, of the British folk song "Marching To Pretoria," whose opening line reads, "I'm with you and you're with me and so we are all together." "Semolina pilchard" is said to be a slap at Detective Sergeant Norman Pilcher of Scotland Yard, notorious in the late Sixties for busting rock stars on trumped-up drug charges; he'd go on to bust John for marijuana possession on October 18, 1968, in Ringo's home at 34 Montague Square, London. John himself confirmed that "elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna" was a slap at the religious, specifically those who believed in one true God. Some have claimed "Goo goo g'joob" is a reference to James Joyce's dense classic Finnegan's Wake (1939), which contains the phrase "googoo goosth" on page 557. While it is known that Lennon had read the book by 1967, having already been told his lyrics were Joycean, there is no evidence that he consciously played upon the phrase.
- The Walrus symbol itself was taken directly from the Carroll story "The Walrus and the Carpenter" from Looking Glass. It has no meaning in itself, though many Carroll critics have ascribed various social, political and/or religious meanings to the poem.
- The line "See how they fly like Lucy in the sky" is a direct reference to John's own "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," possibly a further attempt to confuse the issue, as several fans had already insisted that song's title was an acronym for LSD.
- The basic track for the song was laid down on November 5, 1967, after a week of so for mourning of recently deceased manager Brian Epstein, with John on electric piano. His lead vocal was added the next day, along with the rhythm track; on the 26th and 27th of the month, producer George Martin added horns, strings, woodwinds, and backing vocals by the Mike Sammes singers. John reportedly orchestrated the instruments himself through Martin, but allowed Martin to orchestrate the voices, including the cacophony of conversation that occurs just before the bridge.
- The Singers were enlisted to sing the "Joker's" laughter ("ho ho ho / hee hee hee / ha ha ha!") and the outro's two simultaneous chants: "Everybody's got one / everybody's got one" and "Oompah, oompah / stick it up your jumper." The meaning of the first phrase is unclear and probably nonsensical, though Lennon later stated it could mean absolutely anything everyone has one of, including private parts. The second phrase is used mainly because, in Liverpudlian accent, it rhymes; to stick something up one's "jumper," or sweater, is a British euphemism for shoving something into one's rear end.

First Apple computer sells at auction for $387,750
NEW YORK (AP) - An original Apple computer from 1976 has sold at auction for nearly $388,000.
Known as the Apple 1, it was one of the first Apple computers ever built.
It sold Monday for $387,750 at a Christie's online-only auction. Bolaffi, an Italian collections company, says in a statement that it bought the computer. The seller was a retired school psychologist from Sacramento, Calif.
Vintage Apple products have become a hot item since Steve Jobs' death in October 2011. Jobs joined forces with Steve Wozniak to build computer prototypes in a California garage, and Wozniak built the Apple 1.
Another Apple 1 was sold in May for a record $671,400 by a German auction house. It broke a record of $640,000 set in November.

HHS Announces $290M Loan Program for Docs in Underserved Areas
The federal government on Monday unveiled a $290 million loan repayment program that could reimburse primary care physicians and dentists up to $60,000 if they agree to practice for two years in medically underserved areas.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced the launch of the application cycle for the National Health Service Corps Loan Repayment Program, during a visit to Total Health Care, a community health center in Baltimore.
"As we continue to seek ways to impact both the primary care workforce shortage and the increasing debt burden on new providers, NHSC serves as a model for addressing both challenges simultaneously," Sebelius said. "Increasing access to primary care physicians who can support the physical and mental well-being of individuals can help prevent disease and illness, and ensure everyone—regardless of where they live—has access to comprehensive, high quality care."
The Affordable Care Act provides more flexibility in how the Corps administers the loan repayments. In addition to raising monetary awards, the Corps will give members the option of working half-time to fulfill their service obligation and provide credit for some teaching hours, HHS said.
"By the end of FY2011, we expect that over 10,800 clinicians will be caring for more than 11 million people, more than tripling the National Health Service Corps since 2008," says NHSC Director Rebecca Spitzgo. "By 2015, with the historic funding opportunities offered by ARRA and the Affordable Care Act, the Corps will support more than 15,000 new primary care professionals."
Providers can apply to the NHSC loan repayment program online.

How unfortunate. I guess it never occurred to them to BUILD MORE MEDICAL SCHOOLS. Of course, simple supply and demand starts sounding a bit like capitalism and we certainly can't have that ... Yes, pretty snarky but you really have to wonder how long it's going to take b4 folks figure out these "solutions" are simply unsustainable - it's just nuts what's being done instead of effective SOLUTIONS.

VPG has doubled in size at TLC in Basingstoke
1:11pm Wednesday 23rd April 2014 in Business By Richard Garfield, Business Editor
ONE of the World's largest manufacturers and developers of products in the strain and stress measurement industry has doubled in size at TLC.
Vishay Precision Group, known as VPG, has acquired Unit H, on the estate formerly known as The Loddon Centre, in Wade Road, Basingstoke.
Together with its offices on the nearby Cartel Business Centre, VPG will adopt the 10,510 sq ft warehouse premises as its European distribution centre.
Various units on the TLC estate, owned by Hermes Real Estate, are being re-marketed by Baker Davidson Thomas and Hollis Hockley.
The transaction with VPG is the second in three months and involves a new six year lease term at a rent of £6.75 per sq ft, underpinning existing rental values on the estate.
Christina Holland, Asset Manager at Hermes Real Estate, said: "We are pleased that VPG have decided to improve their offer at TLC. "We continue to take an occupier-led approach in our asset management and seek to provide complimentary tenant mixes that ultimately lead to successful trading.
"More recently the successful rebrand of TLC has made the centre a more attractive prospect for potential tenants and recent lettings are a testament to that."
Christine Unsworth, at VPG added: "The development and its location have served us well for 10 years and so expansion was a straightforward decision once a suitable unit became available on the estate."

Fans Asked Angela
This is something we had once for only a certain time. Fans could send in their personal questions and Angela answered them.Enjoy!
I am not sure. I have the utmost respect for parents. It is real tough to raise kids in our society. You can protect them only for a very short period of time. As soon as they get into kindergarten or school they are under the influence of others.. And the media isn't helping it either. There are many bad role models for kids out there today and only few good ones. A lot of parents start losing their kids sooner than later to the wrong role models, drugs disorders. To see your beautiful child turn into a troubled, unhappy, mobbed teenager isn't easy. I am not sure if I am up for that challenge. I meet teenage kids every day at our shows. A lot of parents fail miserably in protecting their kids and being there for them when they need to be. I try to be a little there for them, but most kids simply need stability in their lives. And where I am at right now, there is no stability. And for this world - I don't see much hope. I do fight to make a difference, but a lot of people don't. Too many simply don't care. Environmental destruction, war mongers, nuclear weapons - not the paradise I would like to see my kids live in..
Vultures are everywhere. It can be someone close to your heart, a colleague at work or even your government. It is about people who suck you dry. Who are there when you are down to pick at your bones. In your hour of weakness they wont help you up but rather pull the trigger on you. Your loss is their gain. False friends, vampires.
Michael Amott. He has always stood at my side.
No, I am rather frightened. Such advanced musicianship is impossible to match and it feels intimidating.
I can put 1 and 1 together. Given the ignorance and denial a lot of people live in I assume they can't to the maths.. Everything we do has an impact on this planet. Each one of us has a responsibility and can make a change. Every day I open my eyes I can see what is happening and I understand what is going on. There are many out there who don't have that social intelligence, the knowledge of this world and its creatures. All they can see is me, myself and I. They simply look the other way and switch off that part of their brain - or they probably never used it in the first place. There are many who fight for survival, who are too poor or don't have the education to make a difference. I understand and I don't expect them to change the world. But most of us live in a wealthy society and have everything they need. Yet, they are never satisfied and walk over bodies to get what they want. I see so much carelessness and ignorance amongst us. Being a sensitive and caring person a lot of people and their actions make me sad and angry. Basically, I am having a hard time blending out reality and to be mindlessly happy.
I believe it has a different meaning to each band member. It was designed before I joined the band. To me, it represents the Unity and Strength of Arch Enemy.
I am not sure. We do have plans but a DVD is actually very expensive to make and doesn't sell that well. A lot of kids out there expect to get everything for free from the artist nowadays. We simply can't afford this and as it looks like right now, we cant afford to invest money into shooting a DVD. So if you want to see a live performance of the 'Rise Of The Tyrant' material - you got to come out the shows.
Metal in Europe has no mainstream acceptance either. What we got is a very lively festival culture and a lot of them are catering to metal fans. I think America's problem is the dominating role religion plays in politics and social live. Religion obstructs freedom and the acceptance of opposed forms of art. And metal still goes against the grain.
This question is impossible to answer as life takes so many twists and turns.. I might still be working in the media or I could be married with kids and growing organic vegetables in my own garden.. Or I could be dead.
Momo, The Endless Journey and every book from Michael Ende. I loved his fantastical, meaningful and intelligent stories. They were full of vivid fantasy, imagination and beautiful details. I read a lot as a child and teenager; we didn't own a TV until I was 12 years old. It most certainly helped me to develop a good feeling for language and lyrical writing. Even today I prefer books to TV and movies.
I grew up with a parent who suffered from bouts of depression. There was talk of suicide or simply leaving the family behind. I had to struggle with this for years as this had a profound effect on my mental state as well. For years I felt left alone, un-safe, forever falling down a narrow dark tunnel. Nobody would hold me or stop me in my fall. I had borderline depressive phases where I was thinking about giving up (MY APOCALYPSE). But suicide THE LAST ENEMY always seemed like an unacceptable 'non'-solution for me. Its full flight. You run away from life. There were times were life was not very enjoyable, but I always felt hope and saw a light at the end of the tunnel.. I dealt with the depression that was brought upon me by childhood experiences. I looked for help and went to a therapist for a while. Getting an outside view, somebody to talk to who wasn't so deeply involved emotionally did help me a lot. I found a way to look at it form a distance and to walk away from self-distraction, self-hatred and mental conditioning. You do imitate your parents and a lot of people live their parent's lives. I didn't want that. I neither wanted to relive their unhappy relationship nor did I want to be a self-loathing individual. I wanted to be free. I have achieved that but I remember my dark feelings. Sometimes they still do creep up on me. But once you know THE ENEMY WITHIN, it gets much easier to fight back.
I like well-organized festivals where bands are taken care off, no matter, how small you are. The Graspop festival is very good! No chaos, good catering and a great sound system/PA. Smaller ones, like Up From The Ground, are great too, it is very familiar backstage.
I am here to inspire, to encourage and simply to have a great time. I came a long way, starting out in an underground band to become the most recognized extreme female singer in the metal world. Whoever looks down on me has surely not tried what I am doing and most certainly has not achieved even half of it and must be very arrogant and intolerant. And I don't waste my time with idiots. I couldn't care less.
I was into metal, but I never had a career as a musician in mind. I studied economies and did an apprentice ship in advertisement and management. I think education is very important. No matter what you want to do later or where fate takes you.
I do, but in private. I am not a fan of clean vocals in metal. I like singers with grit like Rob Halford or Ronnie James Dio. But totally clean is not my thing. And operatic vocals usually make me feel sick.
Sure. When i can come up with some cool ideas. It isn't such an Innovation anymore though, as quite a few bands have done it by now. So it's not that tempting to me to be honest.
I am not embarrassed for anything really. I like the Jackson Five and early Michael Jackson stuff. I like some tunes from the 60ies, 70ies and 80ies. It depends on my level of intoxication if i sing along aloud to 'Wake me up before i go-go' from Wham!.. haha.
I am not tough. I am self-confident. That's a different thing altogether. The funny thing is, I haven't had one single person ever walking up to me and questioning my integrity and authority. I don't count the cowards talking behind my back as my critics. People without a face don't exist to me.
I can recommend the book 'The God Delusion'. It will answer many of these questions. Religion is a tool for power, and excuse for war, a strong source of income. I most certainly do not believe in religion or in a god who is interested in every single human being's fate. There is no god. You are responsible for your own happiness. You got this one life on earth - make the best out of it and enjoy it, whilst it last! Long story short: I am an atheist.
Am I? Yeah, I guess. I am pretty much 200% metal. Its fun. You should try it! I get away with so many silly things. Headbanging, screaming, wearing chains and military boots. I don't really have to grow up in that aspect.
The last funky gig I can remember is the first show of the US tour we did with Machine Head. I had way too much space cookie before the show. All I wanted to do is giggle, but I had to be the lead singer of a metal band for 60 minutes instead. It was hilarious from my point of view.
I use the Shure Beta 57 wireless microphone, which is a standard mic really. Other than that, nothing besides the PA I am not doing an unplugged version on stage, haha.
My voice has only the standard effects. Compression, sometimes delay or reverb. No distortion or pitch shifter. I actually think these effects sound pretty bad. They make you sound like a robot and take away any clarity of words. Messy.
We have total artistic freedom. We have great fans. We get respect and recognition for what we do. We travel the whole world. We get along great and have the same goals. We work very hard - and we get results. We are an efficient metal machine and that's a lot of fun and very rewarding! And today I am sitting in a grey, cold parking lot in England and I am trying to remember these fun aspects very hard.. haha.
I read a good book, browse through poetry and simply listen to the song over and over again. I always get a vibe and find some words that would sound good which I try to incorporate into the lyrics. I find it rather easy writing lyrics. I read A LOT. I think this helps tremendously.
It's the Chinese symbol for TIGER - my star sign in the Chinese astrology.
We are 5 very different characters but we do share the same (musical) vision: melodic yet extreme metal. Let me start with Michael: He is the heart of Arch Enemy. He writes most of the music and is involved in all steps: from the first note to the final product: A recorded, mixed and mastered album with artwork, booklet, etc. Also stage production and crew. Christopher on the other hand is single-minded musical. He pays attention to detail and brings in all these intricate little pieces of music. Daniel contributes to the song writing as well. His other strong asset is being an excellent engineer. He is down with the latest equipment and deals with all technical aspects. Sharlee is our social animal. He isn't involved much in writing music and band business but he makes sure we look good on stage and represents us in the party zone backstage ;-) And I write lyrics, have a word in the songwriting as well and I am dealing with the management, the label and all other business related issues.
I am liberal, coming from the word LIBERTY. I do not accept racism, intolerance, hatred and discrimination in any shape or form. Everything we do is politics. Using textile bags instead of plastic is a political statement. I believe people are afraid of change, that's why there will never be the much-needed reformations in our western society. Most people like to complain but do not like changing anything either. I believe each one of us can make a difference and I do stand up for my beliefs. I believe in respect and protection/preservation of this world and its creatures. I think most politicians have to make many compromises to step up the ladder. Many sell their integrity for power and money.. Lets put it this way: There isn't one politician out there I would trust.
My style is feminine/tough - matching my stage personality. I want to look good in my clothes but still wanna be able to move in them. I prefer pants all the way. Dresses aren't my thing at all. I like it simple but with small, interesting details. I don't like an overdressed look. Yes, of course do I sort out my own clothes. I wouldn't want it any other way!
I would like everybody to understand that this world is DYING and that we have to ACT NOW. We have no right to keep on destroying it. Many other creatures are affected by our egoistic behaviour.
Not really. But I don't dress up as 'Angela Gossow' when I go to the supermarket. I don't really like being recognized. It makes me feel awkward.
I am comfortable to tour with guys. I have never toured with women. So I cant tell what the difference would be. It all depends on the character of the people involved anyway. I don't think it has to do much with gender. You need a personality that is strong enough to respect each other and share a very restricted space for weeks on end.
