I never visited the original Ostioneria Puerto Vallartaon Lawndale, so I never mourned its passing the way some of my friends do. Apparently the original cafe was small and crowded and funky, steamy with good food smells, and made everyone's list of Top 10 "dive" spots in Houston. I didn't get in on the party until after the Ostioneria reopened nearby on Griggs Road, just two blocks east of the vast green lawns of Forest Park Cemetery. So I'm perfectly satisfied with the place as it is now, in a big stand-alone building garishly painted orange and yellow and red.
I love the cheerful dining area, roomy enough for dozens and dozens of tables, its every inch of available wall space covered with framed pictures and polychrome Mexican pottery. I enjoy the clatter and bustle that echoes from the concrete floor and high ceilings and stucco arches, and doubles when a freight train chugs by on the tracks across the road. The room makes me as happy as the smiling waitresses, who chatter merrily with customers in Spanish and a little English, and sing along with the norteño love songs piped through the overhead speakers.
"Oh, no," groaned one of my friends. "They've got 'decor' now." He stared gloomily into the corner of the room dominated by Elvis memorabilia. Never mind that perfect platter of fat, freshly shucked Gulf oysters on the half shell ($6.25/dozen), or the icy cold Corona in the frosted mug at his elbow; he wanted his dive back. I didn't care. I was blissful in my ignorance. Those oysters were served with lime wedges instead of gringo lemons, and the vivid red cocktail sauce was spicy sweet without a trace of horseradish. I was just as pleased with my flat glass tray of fish and shrimp seviche ($6.95/small, $8.75/large). The preparation was blessedly simple -- no tomatoes, just the seafood I crave soaked in Mexican lime juice, topped with thin shavings of velvety ripe avocado and accompanied by packets of salty soda crackers to add a crunch to it.

As far as I'm concerned, this is it, a real ostioneria that reminds me of many, many good places up and down both coasts of Mexico. My only complaint -- a very small quibble, to be sure -- is that this is a "beer only" place; no margaritas to be had, alas.
The menu emphasizes fresh seafood, of course: There are three different seafood cocktails, shrimp or oysters or octopus ($6.95/small, $8.75/large), bathed in sweet tomato sauce spiked with cilantro and piled into tall sundae glasses. For the same price, there's a Campechana version, too; then there's the wondrous "vuelve a la vida" ($9.95), a concoction piled high with shrimp, oysters, octopus and squid. The next time I suffer a hangover, I'm heading straight here for restorative brain food. I swear it works. (Funny how, in food folklore, so many hangover cures do double duty as aphrodisiacs.)
One of our favorite dinner plates at Ostioneria was the huachinango a la Veracruzana ($15.75), a whole red snapper heaped with sautéed chopped tomatoes, green bell peppers, onions, salty green olives and perky little capers. The taste is tangy and irresistible and wonderfully authentic. The pescado Sarandeado ($16.95) also turned out to be red snapper, skillfully split backward and flattened so that the backbone was at the outer edge, then foil-wrapped and grilled over a wood fire. The fish was moist and flaky, basted with a "secret recipe" barbecue sauce, lightly spicy and smoky from the flames. The fish platters were filled out with fluffy rice and a heap of buttery steamed vegetables, carrots and zucchini and yellow squash. These were huge plates of food, well worth the price, but bargain hunters take note: You can order fillet versions of most of the whole snapper dishes for only $9.95, and several of the regular dinner entrées, only slightly downscaled, rotate through the lunch specials list at an astonishing $4.95.
Penny-pinchers will also appreciate the fish tacos for only $2.25 each. The panfried fish fillets were so generous as to require two tortillas for wrapping, nestled in a heap of shredded lettuce, sprigs of fresh cilantro and pico de gallo, and topped with a great blob of sour cream. I can't imagine ordering anything other than corn tortillas for a fish taco, but flour tortillas are also on offer, so suit yourself.
I'm saving the best for last: I went crazy for the cazuela de mariscos ($9.95). This may not be a dish for everyone, and it requires some translation. The menu described it misleadingly as a "seafood plate," but it was not a plate at all. It was a soupy concoction served steaming hot in an earthenware bowl, close kin to a Tex-Mex chili. Rings and tentacles of calamari bobbed around with chunks of fish and bay shrimp in a rich, deep red guajillo broth, thickened with a touch of masa, maybe, and permeated with the strong smoky flavor of chipotle peppers. Sure, there was about a quarter-inch of orangish oil afloat on the surface, all the better to mop up with those corn tortillas. The flavor was earthy and elemental and satisfying, and spicy enough to bead a chili rookie's forehead with sweat.

Sheets of Ice
Daniel J. Enga, CPFC:
An old man lived alone on a vast sheet of ice. It was bitter where he lived, unforgiving and lifeless. The sun shone only a small portion of the day. The rest of the time the man was cloaked in darkness, with only the light of glittering stars, light he never took time to question.
Save for the black-striped gulls that shook in the wind, there was no variation except in the early morning when he was balled up in a hole he dug in a snow bank sleeping off his indulgence in that which he most craved. The sun made prisms in the ice: Reds, greens, yellows, and blues connected even in this unconscious place, promising more. Not bothering to consider what he was being shown, the man found himself grumbling inside the hole while his head throbbed and banged.
After many attempts by family and friends to coerce him to leave this empty place, the man found himself with only one acquaintance. Its name was Dependence. It lived about half a mile away on a massive iceberg. It rarely moved. Dependence also lived alone, speaking only to those who would listen.
Dependence, however, had what the old fellow wanted, and each day the man would pull on his shabby snow boots and damp winter coat and grab an oar before making his way over hundreds of ice floes to reach the other side, craving the entire time. It was always a precarious journey, one leg flying this way, the other floating that way. There was never any balance when he went to visit Dependence. He would jump and wait, jump and wait, holding his arms out to save himself from a sure death should he fall into the icy black water.
Sometimes the old man would stand shaking for an hour until another ice chunk would happen by. He would use the oar to pull it near, then pounce, leaving his feet to fall in the water, cold heat surrounding his ankles as he scurried to get back onto something solid, bitter wind pummeling his face as if to warn him to go back. He'd pull himself up and catch his breath, always keeping an eye on Dependence, who waited patiently on the other side with what he needed, laughing and calling to the man not to fall in.
Sometimes the old man would paddle, using the oar to get closer to another floe before making the jump. "That's quite innovative," he thought. "Brilliant even." The strategy, after all, was surely sound, and his courage unquestionable. Not everyone would take this expedition to visit Dependence even once, but the old man did it daily! It had become a game even as he shuddered uncontrollably in his damp coat, ice falling down his back, his cheeks numb and eyes watering.
Dependence always met the man with a wry smile, giving him what he needed before sending him back. The trip back to his hole was wrought with even more danger, but the man met it with fervor and passion, emboldened by their meeting, singing as he hopped from floe to floe, then stumbling, not feeling his hands or feet, not feeling anything really. He called out to the seals and gulls, shaking his oar to the sky. The old man was unshakeable, until he fell in.
Halfway home, he called out for Dependence to save him, but Dependence couldn't do a thing. It is the nature of Dependence to have no control or motivation to help, to be compulsively preoccupied with its own needs. Dependence is blind, and will never see the prisms of light, or the promise. Dependence is unable to see the negative consequences of anything.
Thus the old man flailed and struggled, grasping wildly around him before losing his strength and succumbing to the depths.
And So …
There are signs and behaviors that can be attached to alcohol or drug dependence, but they are difficult to see because a person in the throes of addiction tends to withdraw and isolate, and often he or she ends up spending most their time with other addicts.
In dependency's early stages, cravings usually are the most common characteristic. Other common signs that a person might have an addiction problem are:
• Loss of control – engaging in risky behaviors while under the influence. Foregoing their moral foundation and sense of right and wrong to appease their addiction.
• Compulsive preoccupation – spending an inordinate amount of time thinking about the next time they might be able to use, how they will use, where, and with whom.
• Continued use of the drug of choice despite negative consequences – The onset of negative effects of the addiction in their personal life, but rationalizing and choosing to continue.
• Loss of motivation – The user loses focus on his or her daily life at work and in their personal lives. Hobbies or activities that were once seen as enjoyable lose their luster and fulfillment in addiction.

A menswear store/surf shop in Soho, where all the young, stylish urbanites go to hang out and sip cortados made on a La Marzocco from La Colombe beans.
A unique store, that was beautifully designed, tastefully arranged, and easy to take pictures of.
A space too cool for me, I think, although Sean fit right in.
Worth a trek, for sure, if you're into the artsiest of surf magazines, good coffee, menswear, or all of the above.
Cortado from Bluebird Coffee (and their La Marzocco, and storefront).
Highly recommended by a well-trusted friend and coffee-drinker, but I'm not quite sure this place was worth the trek. However, all drinks (save the cortado) were served in robin's egg blue ceramic, and the barista was very nice.

We have arrived to the second to last weekly intention! Since Earth Day is just around the corner (April 22nd) we thought it would be fun to start thinking about what we can do now. Weekly intention #11 is green your home, your life, and your habits-nothing is a small act here. Any small eco-friendly act can make a big difference. Here are 10 SIMPLE things you can do to help maintain a pristine earth, clean air and healthy lifestyle every day.
1. Reduce, reuse and recycle. This not only helps the earth but it feels very empowering. Buy only what you need, support local growers, carry a cloth bag for purchases, and reuse old bottles and bags.
2. Give away old clothes, toys, electronics and other barely-used items. This environmental cleanse is good for the planet, you and your recipients.
3. Wash laundry in cold water and line dry clothes that do not have to go into the dryer. If you want your clothes soft and fluffy place them in the dryer on the fluff setting for 10 minutes after they are dry.
4. Bike or walk in place of driving. Burn calories while saving the earth-can't beat it!
5. Purchase products from green companies. Here is a great list of the Top 10 Green Companies.
6. Plant a tree to help reduce greenhouse emissions and pollution.
7. Cook vegetable-based meals at least once a day or one full day per weekusing local produce. Plants require much less resources to grow than producing meat and dairy. Choose organic when you can. Here is a list of the Dirty Dozen that should always be organic whenever you purchase them.
8. Compost your food and biodegradable packaging. This is a great way to let food scraps and packaging decompose naturally. Here is a quick video on composting.
9. Opt for silence one day out of the week-no television, no ipod, no computer, no distraction! Great for the planet as well as your mind, body and soul (a nicobella favorite).
10. Instead of going to the gym (drive car, workout on treadmill, watch tv, listen to radio=lots of energy) get some exercise outside. Walking, running, biking, hiking and swimming are as good for your physique as the gym, and may be even better for your mind as you breathe in the fresh air and smell the spring flowers.

I guess this isn't a decision that can be entrusted to the flip of a coin: your ever-growing readership hangs in the balance! I'm a fan of SKOHRboard. Facebook used to be "thefacebook" and wised up. No one needs another determiner in his life!

Yeah, but if a losing team is talking trash in a game, they are advised to "check the scoreboard." Likewise, I think a wayward internet user would be wise to check The SKOHRboard while surfing the web.

A compromise perhaps? You call it "The SKOHRBoard" in the title, but keep it "SKOHRBoard" in the URL (a la The New York Times, The Huffington Post, etc). Almost no self-respecting website has "The" in it's URL.

One in five Democrats now opposes ObamaCare, a record high, according to the latest IBD/TIPP Poll. And more than one in six Democrats now say they want it repealed, another new high.
Overall, 55% of the public oppose the law, the highest since IBD/TIPP started asking this question in 2010. Just 37% support ObamaCare, matching a record low.
And while support for outright repeal of the law inched down in January, that was because it fell among Republicans and independents. Among Democrats, support for repeal jumped 4 points.
ObamaCare is also clearly driving down President Obama's approval rating, which dropped to just 38% in January from 43% in November. Among Democrats, Obama's approval has dropped 10 points since November.
Obama also has fallen to record lows in the IBD/TIPP Presidential Leadership Index. At 42.6, his support is lower than President George W. Bush's in the wake of his administration's poor handling of Hurricane Katrina.
These falling approval ratings come even as the public is generally more upbeat about the economy and direction of the country, according to the Jan. 4-7 survey of 901 people.
Other ominous ObamaCare findings from the January IBD/TIPP Poll:
Nearly two in five (39%) worry they will lose access to their doctors because of the law.
Just 31% think the government can be trusted to run the health care system successfully.
One in 10 says they or someone in their household had their work hours cut, and 4% say they lost their jobs, due to ObamaCare.
Hoping to revive his and his party's political fortunes, Obama is embarking on a campaign to focus public attention on poverty and income inequality.
The White House has recently floated various proposals — extended unemployment benefits, a minimum-wage hike, more spending on roads. On Thursday, Obama formally designated five cities as "Promise Zones."
But ObamaCare's troubles are unlikely to leave the stage anytime soon.
Enrollment figures have so far come in far short of administration forecasts. And the White House still hasn't released an age breakdown for those who signed up via the federal exchange.
Exchange Woes Continue
State data show ObamaCare enrollment is skewing decidedly older, despite massive campaigns targeting the young. That will spell trouble for the sustainability of the exchanges.
In addition, many who signed up for an ObamaCare plan may face unexpectedly high out-of-pocket costs from large deductibles and co-pays, or struggle with limits on the doctors or hospitals they can use, in addition to high premiums.
The Obama administration's tally of 7.3 million paid enrollees in ObamaCare exchange plans as of mid-August increasingly looks like an artificial peak that hasn't been sustained. The most telling data point since the Department of Health and Human Services announced exchange membership last month ...
There is no Republican Contract with America in 2014 or plan for the first 100 days if the party can regain control of Congress.

ObamaCare shoppers in search of the lowest-cost plan may come down with a mild case of rate shock when 2015 exchange enrollment begins next month. An examination of next year's rates in the biggest city in 15 states and Washington, D.C., reveals that the cost of the cheapest bronze plan will jump ...

way to achieve the goal of universal HIV testing in prenatal care is for federal, state, and local health agencies; professional organizations; regional perinatal HIV research and treatment centers; AIDS Health Education Centers (AHECs); and health plans to increase efforts to educate prenatal care providers about the value of testing in pregnancy. They also must ensure that providers are linked to sources of information and referral for women who test positive. In addition, academic and residency training programs in family medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics/gynecology should include the knowledge, skills, and techniques for prevention of perinatal HIV transmission.
In particular,
The committee recommends that health departments, professional organizations, medical specialty boards, regional perinatal HIV centers, and health plans increase their emphasis on education of prenatal care providers about the value of universal HIV testing and about avenues of referral for patients who test positive.
Through its workshops and site visits, the committee found many examples of existing provider education programs initiated by state and local health departments and professional organizations. Nearly all states have sent material about the ACTG 076 results and the PHS counseling and testing guidelines (CDC, 1995b) to prenatal care providers. Provider education programs have been designed to explain the risks of perinatal transmission, the importance of universal prenatal testing, the benefits of interventions, and the availability of referral sites. These efforts should be continued and enhanced.
California and New Jersey developed their education programs as a result of legislation mandating that providers counsel and offer voluntary HIV testing to all pregnant women (see Appendixes D and E). California recently devised and disseminated comprehensive clinician education and resource materials (including interactive teaching materials for use with patients) and made available a toll-free physician help line. Similar educational programs need to be developed and evaluated in other states. It has been difficult, however, to get physicians to participate, because many do not think that HIV is common enough in their practices to warrant the time (see Appendixes E and G).
It is important for provider education programs to overcome physicians' apparent tendency to offer HIV tests only to pregnant women who report, or in whom they suspect, HIV risk behaviors. Risk-based counseling and testing strategies are ineffective because they fail to identify as many as half of HIV-infected women (Barbacci et al., 1991). Belief that they are not at risk is the most common reason for patients' refusal of an HIV test, according to the committee's workshops and site visits. Many who deny risk do so because they are unaware of their partners' risk history.

Q: I have heard that all orange tabby cats are male, and to find one that is female is rare and worth up to $1,000. I also have heard that calico cats and tortoiseshell cats are female and to find a male is just as rare and prized. Is there any truth to this?
A: Your first statement is incorrect. Most, but certainly not all, orange tabby cats are male. Orange tabby cats are about 80/20 male to female. We have many female orange tabby cats in my practice. There is no monetary value, per se, associated with a female orange tabby cat. Calico and tortoiseshell cats, however, are almost always female.
Here's how it works. To have black and orange in the same cat, the cat needs two X chromosomes. Two X chromosomes mean the cat will be female. Male cats need a Y chromosome and are XY.
Occasionally a mutation will arise during embryonic development and a kitten will be born with an extra chromosome: XXY. The two Xs allow for the cat to be black and orange. The Y makes it a male. This is how you get a tortoiseshell or a calico male cat.
Tortoiseshell and calico male cats are uncommon (one out of 3000 are male), but don't get your hopes up about breeding these rare cats for money. As a result of this mutation, most tortoiseshell and calico male cats are sterile.
Lois Louisville, AL
I have 11 Orange Tabby cats..7 are male and 4 are female
Grandma Atlanta, GA
Since the calico and tortoise males are sterile, does that mean you don't have to neuter them?
Shelia Midlothian, VA
I had an orange tabby cat that was a female. I was told that most of the time they are male and most of the time calico cats are female.
Carole International
This has always been the case & here in NZ what was once a really rare thing To find an Orange Tabby female...They are becoming really prevalent these days...I have no idea as to why...I myself have three calico "gorgeous gussies"...a seal point male & a white female...(all neutered )of coarse...

Ringo Deathstarr
Ringo Deathstarr are Elliott Frazier, Alex Gehring and Daniel Coborn. The three Texans are on the brink of great things. Excellent reviews followed the debut album Colour Trip (QRO review); they are now in a support slot alongside The Smashing Pumpkins (QRO live review) across Europe before working on a follow up album – due early next year.
QRO sat with the threesome in the busy dining area of the small Start the Bus venue in the heart of central Bristol with other diners and those out for the evening. Having just polished off their evening meals, Ringo were tucking into a couple of beers and Jack Daniels.
QRO: Welcome back to Bristol! Last time I met you guys was back in November 2010 whilst you were supporting The Wedding Present and just before the release of your debut album Colour Trip. How has the past year gone?
Daniel Coborn: It's been crazy, just been touring non-stop, but really good.
QRO: During the summer you released Sparkler, a mix of early tracks. Were you pleased with the results?
Elliott Frazier: We didn't want anyone to be unable to get hold of our stuff, so we had to reissue some of our stuff and it's convenient to have it all in one place.
QRO: So how excited are you to be supporting The Smashing Pumpkins on tour?
Alex Gehring: Very excited!!
EF: We are still trying to adjust to being in that situation; it's like you can't really prepare for what's in store for you even on the first day when you arrive.
QRO: So is it the sheer size of some of the venues?
AG: They are huge and The Smashing Pumpkins are taking their own stage and lighting with them everywhere. We haven't really played shows where you have the whole catering and big back stage area. It's very different to then playing places like [Start The Bus, Bristol]!
QRO: Any stand out shows for you so far?
DC: Belgium.
AG: Amsterdam.
DC: Yeah and Paris last night.
AG: Our first shows were a little shaky. I felt we took a little time to adjust to the venues.
EF: Yes.
You know we were not able to rehearse and prepare to play in a room like that.
AG: It's like a different sound, from like our practice base back home, which is like a small room, and then you bring that onto a huge stage like an arena and all the sudden it sounds completely different, so it's definitely taken a few shows to tweak the sound to how we like it.
QRO: But your sound is quite a big sound, and I can imagine you probably have no problem filling large halls with your wall-to-wall sound?
EF: It's definitely good for us to be on a stage that big to put everything through the PA system, but you know we don't normally play in that situation. It took us a few shows before we could understand what we needed to do with our own stuff to make it sound at it's best. We had moments like where – 'Oh man we should have realised this a long time ago.' You know we have played large venues, like the ones with The Wedding Present. We should have realised stuff like this back then. Maybe we were just too stupid!
[Gehring laughs]
QRO: So do you think you have grown up or kind of evolved as a band since then?
AG: It feels like we are positively growing up, even with these last few shows.
You know it's just really impossible to get it out of a box.
QRO: So when's the day off? What do you do?
AG: We try to not have a day off
DC: We haven't had an evening off for ages. `This is like 19 gigs in a row.
AG: It's better for us that way.
EF: Days off are for lazy people or rich people!
AG: We would just spend money if we had days off.
DC: It's not so bad at the moment. We are on about 7.30pm and finished within a couple of hours. It's not a lot of work and we don't have to drive everywhere between shows.
EF: That's the other luxury of not headlining your own shows, you get to finish early and you don't have to stay out late until 2am in the morning.
QRO: So how come you are playing Bristol in between all these shows?
EF: We've been trying to play here again since a year ago, for reason it never happened.
DC: We like Bristol; it's got really great places.
EF: Yeah we have tried to come to this venue the last two times, but for one reason or another it never happened.
QRO: Which of your songs do you love playing live?
AG: I really love playing "Tiltawhirl" live; I feel that it's a pretty fast paced song, which is simple to play. It's new also. A lot of the songs we've been playing for five years now.
DC: This particular song is a Japanese stranglehold. We are going to Japan after this tour.
QRO: You have played Japan before yes?
DC: This will be our fourth time and the third time this year!
AG: It's definitely where we do best, where we are best received. It's like entering another dimension, your own dream world.
QRO: How does touring the U.S. compare with Europe and beyond?
DC: The U.S. sucks! [laughs]
QRO: Bearing in mind this is for an online American magazine!
DC: That's ok… [more chuckles]
AG: We don't really have a big following in America. They don't get us. We will play a few cities and hook up with someone and play really small bars. You know where you maybe get a one drink ticket and maybe $50 for the night.
EF: You know we are not asking to be paid to make our pockets fat, but you know you can't go on tour and be paid $200 a night. Maybe if you are 19 and right out of high school, and you haven't got to lease an apartment, and you haven't got a wife and pets and all those responsibilities, then maybe it's a great opportunity.
QRO: So have you all got pets?
[A resounding yes from all three]
AG: Some of us have more pets than others. Elliott has a woman… [laughs]
EF: And here's the leash right here… [points to his wedding ring on his finger]
[laughs all around the table]
QRO: Congratulations! Is that a recent thing?
EF: No, six and a half years. Yeah, before this band.
DC: That's why it's like difficult to go out there, 'cause before this band we still had those responsibilities.
QRO: What do you miss most about home? Be careful before you answer this Elliott…
EF: Everything.
DC: Not a lot really. I don't have to work when I am doing this, so I'm having a fun time. You know miss girlfriends or whatever.
EF: I like just being able to stay at home and not do anything. That's what I do when I am back home.
QRO: So you are all working when you are back home?
DC: I am not right now
AG: I have two jobs – I work at a vintage clothing store and a coffee shop. I am actually really fortunate that they let me go on leave for so long. They are really awesome.
QRO: Alex, did you get into trouble with your dad after completing the "2 Girls" video?
AG: [with quite a stern voice] He has not seen it!
[laughing from everyone else]
He does not know it exists.
DC: Yeah right!
QRO: That was a fine bit of artistic work by the way!
AG: Thank you!
It was really fun to make, too. [giggles] My mum saw it and she was enthusiastic… I guess. My grandma especially [giggles], but I told her please don't tell my dad. Maybe don't mention it…
QRO: Better make sure he doesn't read this…
AG: Just don't give my full name 'cause he Googles me and says, "Oohhh I saw a really cool picture of you on the internet" and I'm like… oh no! Maybe he has just not told me, because he's embarrassed.
Ringo Deathstarr's video for "2 Girls":
QRO: You have just released a new EP, The Shadow. Hot off the press, I haven't heard it yet.
DC: What's wrong with you? [laughs all around]
QRO: Is it a change of direction?
DC: Sort of.
EF: We were more prepared for releasing an EP. The only reason why we decided to do an EP was so that we could return to Japan sooner. You know we had these songs and we were writing for the next album, and basically we took whatever songs we had at that moment and put them on an EP. So it's not as big a change as the album is supposed to be. It's just a few new ideas and still like the same thing. It's like we have Jason Reece from …And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead (QRO live review) to sing on the main track "The Shadow" because we wanted a totally different vocal sound.
QRO: So you are working on a new album?
AG: It will probably be a while.
EF: We are hoping for maybe May.
AG: We would like to have some time at home to really work on it. We have been on the road so long, we haven't really had a chance to sit down and write songs. I guess we could try and write whilst on the road, but that's not our way.
EF: We are not songwriters. That's one thing we are not!
AG: I feel a lot our songs just come about during practice and from messing around and you go, "That sounds cool," but when we are on tour we rarely get a chance to soundcheck, so we don't get a chance to mess around together and play our instruments.
QRO: You have probably had enough of touring, but are you planning to do your own headlining tour or are you going to wait until the album comes out?
EF: I don't know man, 'cause it's kinda weird, 'cause in The States we have not really toured since June, and it's a thing where we need to tour, but we can't, so I don't know what will happen with that, but we will do South-by-Southwest. We definitely won't be back here…
[at this point sound man Chad McGillivary made a sly grab for the small bottle of Jack Daniels by Frazier, who stopped mid flow to rebuff the attempt by poor old McGillivary. Nice try and a wry smile came the sympathetic reply from Coborn...]
EF: We probably won't be back here until after the album and return for the summer festivals. We will probably go to Japan before that and do a real tour, because we normally go over there and do three shows. So we would probably do a week or two and then come back here.
QRO: Did you do many festivals across the U.S. or Europe?
DC: Yeah, we did The Way Out West Festival in Sweden, The Off Festival in Poland.
EF: We were going to play the Indietracks Festival here, but then we got accepted onto the Fuji Rock Festival so unfortunately we had to cancel. We were going to try and do it all. They had a schedule at the Indietracks and if we had maybe been down to play on the first day, we might have been able to make it.
QRO: Is there anywhere new you would like to visit?
EF: Russia.
DC: South America that would be nice, but maybe tricky.
QRO: Any particular reason you would like to visit Russia?
DC: It's just another place we seem to be getting quite a large fanbase and we have never been. It's one of those places that's quite different to America, so I'd like to check it out. We have seen pictures of all sorts of crazy stuff over there. It's so big and so disorganised.
EF: You know, that's another place that we never imagined we would be able to go to.
[at this point Ray Williams, tour manager returns with a bottle of red wine and we all delve in. Thanks Ray!]
QRO: How did you all meet?
EF: I met Dan in high school and Alex I met in Austin at a clothing store I used to shop at all the time.
QRO: Are there any particular bands you are listening to at the moment?
AG: I have been listening to The Breeders (QRO live review) on my iPod.
DC: Kanye West.
QRO: Really? [Coborn laughs]
DC: Yeah, he's pretty awesome.
QRO: What do you think about bands generally at the moment? Do you think there is a bit of a lull?
EF: I didn't know there were still bands?!?
QRO: It's just with the current financial climate, you would have thought there would be bands out there with something to say politically?
AG: What like Rage Against The Machine?
DC: I think a lot of bands have given up fighting that fight. It's the same thing that goes on always, you know like nothing ever happens. We tend to have songs around the good things in life. We should just pretend stuff like that doesn't exist. It doesn't really affect us.
EF: Yeah like I have stopped watching the news and everything.
You know I can still wake up in the morning, go to the store by my house and do what I do. I know the world is going to explode, I just hope it happens really fast and I die instantly… [chuckle from Coborn]
QRO: Is there anybody else you would like to collaborate with if you ever got the chance?
DC: Kanye West.
AG: There are so many people. Like Dinosaur Jr. (QRO live review).
EF: We just had the EP done by Jeff Schroeder and Mike Byrne from The Smashing Pumpkins
AG: That was a big deal, although Dean Garcia of SPC ECO (former Curve) also did some of the remixes on the EP.
DC: Yeah, you know… that EP. You haven't got yet?!
QRO: Yeah, okay Dan, give me time, it's only been out a day or two! [laughs from Coborn]
EF: I tried to ask Garbage if they would do a remix, but they didn't reply. I guess they're a bit busy!
QRO: If you could choose one of your songs to be within an already released film, what one would it be and which scene?
[laughs from the remainder of Ringo Deathstarr]
[at this point we discuss sport. Coborn expressed his passion for baseball and in particular the Houston Astros, but apparently they "suck." Elliott said he like nothing more than inviting his mates around on a Monday night to watch the football, drink Bud Light, eating "shitty food" and getting dumb (I think he was humouring QRO...)]
QRO: If I was to meet you in a year's time, where do you think you will be? Where would you like to be?
AG: Probably right here. I guess I'd like to be in the Bahamas or something. I've never been.
EF: I don't like the Bahamas. I don't like islands. England's okay, 'cause it's a pretty big island. Being trapped on a little island.
AG: He's scared!
EF: I'm not scared, it's you know… just so inconvenient to get off the island. I'd rather be somewhere where there's something going on.
QRO: Any embarrassing moments?
EF: Yeah, I jumped off a stage the other day. These people in the front row at Oslo wanted my guitar pic and a photo. I leapt down off this stage that was about six feet tall and hurt both my feet, and so I've been limping.
AG: And everyone in the crew has been making fun of him, calling him hop along.
EF: And now they respect me though!
QRO: Peter Hayes from Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (QRO live review) had messed up his ankle falling off a stage. He was really chuffed though, because apparently distiller and legend Jack Daniels had once done his ankle in and gangrene set in and he almost died. Really 'rock and roll'.
EF: Yeah it was really dumb. Like the second day in, I could hardly walk at all. Like in the morning I found this piece of wood in the trash at this hostel we were staying at and I was in such pain moving around with my hands on the wall. We got to the venue and thought I wasn't going to be able to play, 'cause that morning I couldn't even stand on one foot and how was I going to reach the pedals for my guitar. So I took a load of Ibuprofen and drank a bottle of wine to ease the pain!
QRO: Well that's all the questions I have to ask. Is there any burning questions that I should have asked?
DC: Uh… I dunno man… uh…
[once QRO added Gehring's name to our little black book, we carried on chatting about rabbits and TV shows we all liked. Gehring expressed her love for the show Breaking Bad, about a chemistry teacher who has cancer and then starts selling meth to secure a future for his family. I was totally out of my depth, as I hadn't watched any series since Lost]
'Til next year when we meet again… in the Bahamas. Ringo's onward and upward!

Click here for QRO's review of Ringo Deathstarr at O2 Academy in Bristol, U.K. on November 21st, 2010
Ringo Deathstarr took the evening off from supporting The Smashing Pumpkins (QRO live review) on their European tour to play their own headline gig at Bristol's Start the Bus on Wednesday, November 9th. The previous night they had played Paris and following tonight, they were due to play Manchester. It had been some twelve months since Ringo Deathstarr had last played Bristol (QRO review), supporting The Wedding Present, and since then the band had released their début album, Colour Trip (QRO review), which had met with very positive reviews.
Start The Bus is a small music venue bar that doubles up as a café in heart of Bristol. The Texan three-piece sat relaxing at one of the tables finishing off their meal, getting stuck into the Jack Daniels and red wine.
It was 11.30pm by the time the two support acts had finished and Ringo Deathstarr took to the small stage with the floor in front of it packed. It was "You Don't Listen" from the début Colour Trip that started the evening, with Daniel Coborn pounding away on his drums, tucked away in the far corner. From the start the audience were into the proceedings dancing and leaping around throughout the gig to make this a memorable evening.
There was a break in pace as the elegant bass guitarist Alex Gehring took the vocals for "Summertime", a myriad of bright swirling colours – not that there were any bright lights on the stage after guitarist and lead singer Elliott Frazier had asked for all the lights surrounding the stage to be dimmed.
There were further tracks from Colour Trip, before the psychedelic barrage of swirling sound released upon the crowd two tracks from their new EP. "Shadow" saw Gehring sharing vocal responsibilities with Frazier, with the latter stretching his voice to scream with frenzy his parts, whilst in contrast Gehrings tones brought calm. "Prisms" saw the band enter different territory with a totally blissed out and ambient sound.
The band finished their thirteen-song set with older familiar numbers, before finishing with "Sweet Girl", which led to its huge rising finalie resulting in Frazier rolling around on the stage. The DJ went to to start his first disc to herald the end of the gig, but the audiance were not having it and the DJ was forced to pause the track. Ringo Deathstarr remained on stage but were joined on stage by one of the audiance who claimed he could play drums. Sure enough a very worn out and hot looking Coborn gave the plucky member of the audiance the sticks. After a false start and a bit of guidance the boy did alright, as Ringo Deathstarr broke even newer ground by playing what can only be described as an almost death metal number with Alex and Elliott taking it in turns to scream into the mics and ensure we all went home with impaired ability to hear!
Ringo Deathstarr certainly conqured with one particular punter expressing how disgusted they were with themselves for not hearing of the band previously and proclaiming it as the best gig he had seen.

At the beginning of the semester I was questioning whether to stay in my Grief, Loss and Bereavement class or to switch into another elective. I chose to switch into Social Work Practice in Child Welfare. Initially, I was unsure of my choice. After seeing the syllabus for SWP in CW I feared I'd made the wrong choice, feeling that it would be more challenging for me personally to earn as high a mark. I felt the material was better for me professionally and emotionally, but still I was unsure.
Now, I know I made the right choice.
In my field work this year I am participating in policy practice as well as clinical work because I am a Macro/Micro Focus student. Because there are not specific policy intiatives from the law clinic that I can participate in, I've had to actively seek policy reforms that are already taking shape within the child welfare realm. Because I am enrolled in SWP in CW, I reached out to my professor for some insight into this field. As a result of meeting with him, I am now going to be partnering with his organization, the Office of Children and Family Services for New York State to work on educational neglect policy reform. I will get to not only research, but discuss and consult with experts in the field, as well as write new policies to reform education neglect in the state of New York. To say I am excited about this opportunity is an understatement.

Brooks is such a sweet little guy and so incredibly alert! He was 7 days old at our shoot and usually newborns at that age just want to sleep. But not Brooks. I tried all the tricks up my sleeve and we only got a short little catnap. But he was such a good boy and we have a strict no-crying policy. Here's my favorite from his catnap. I'm a sucker for little hands and mouths. Love it!
Scottsdale couple, Shelley and Bob, decided that for their wedding day they were going walk down to the beach and get married. The only problem with that is we all live in Arizona. There aren't too many beaches here. So their solution was to get married during their vacation in Oceanside, CA, and they invited me along to capture the day.
Shelley has always had a great smile with a lot of love to share. And Bob and his family were incredibly warm and welcoming. I really cannot say enough good things about them, especially their ability to roll with the unexpected and disappointing while remembering what their wedding day really meant. See, Shelley's brother is a retired priest and he was to marry them. Sadly, he was hospitalized in Texas a few days before the wedding. But one of the blessings of technology is the ability to be places without really being there. And so, they had a wedding via iPhone. Shel's brother, Father Phil, married Bob and Shelley on the beach in California from his hospital room in Texas. There were a lot of tears, but mostly there was a lot of love.

Roxanne and Mark met in her home town of Tucson. They stood by each other through a year of separation when Mark served a tour in Afghanistan as a member of the National Guard. Shortly after his return, he proposed on a vacation to Mexico. When Roxanne asked me to photograph her wedding at first I said no. I hadn't shot a wedding before and while any photo shoot is a big deal a wedding is a REALLY BIG DEAL. After talking a few times I agreed and I had the best time–so much so that I've shot and booked more weddings since. They were married in the backyard of Roxanne's childhood home in the foothills of Tucson in May 2010. This is one of my favorite images from their day. It is just the sum of their personalities.

Ava, well, she's a tough nut to crack. But once you open her up, she's just delicious. She started out her session not sure she wanted to be any part of our shoot. By the end she was bounding around the yard telling me all about her favorite princesses in between giggles. It is my favorite kind of day.

One of the things I love most about being a photographer is capturing an expression that really is the subject. It's easy for us to put on our picture faces, but most of the time those faces aren't the ones our loved ones recognize as really us. And with kids, wow, it can either be really easy or really difficult depending on how many times they've heard "Say Cheese!"
Zeke is one of those kids that loves to mug for the camera. At this shoot in 2009, we captured some great shots that were just quintessentially him–pouts and grins. It makes it really difficult to edit down a shoot when I know I've really captured someone. So here are a few of Zeke and Ruthie, circa November 2009.

Moss appears off hook for NFL fine
NFL: New England 23, St. Louis 16
Randy Gene Moss (born February 13, 1977) is a former American football wide receiver. He was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in the first round of the 1998 NFL Draft. He played college football at Marshall University.
Moss played the first seven years of his career in Minnesota before a trade in 2005 brought him to the Oakland Raiders. On April 29, 2007, Moss was traded to the New England Patriots for a fourth-round draft pick. On October 6, 2010, Moss returned to the Vikings in a trade from the Patriots. However, his stint in Minnesota was short-lived, as he was waived by the team less than a month later, and claimed by the Tennessee Titans.
Moss holds the NFL single season touchdown reception record (23, set in 2007), and the NFL single-season touchdown reception record for a rookie (17, in 1998).
