See the Cast of 'This Is Spinal Tap' Then and Now
Released in March 1984, Rob Reiner's 'This Is Spinal Tap' is a comedic film about a fictional British heavy metal band. Considered one of the best music-related movies ever, 'Tap' wasn't an immediate hit. It arrived decades before improv-heavy, mockumentary styled television shows like 'The Office' would become popular, and besides, this wasn't the kind of film destined to immediately resonate with Middle America. But due to strong word-of-mouth marketing from fans and famous musicians alike, the movie eventually became a cult classic.
Starring Reiner, Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer, 'This Is Spinal Tap' is a tour-bus staple for musicians of all genres, and many say the film's look at the often ridiculous life of a traveling musician borders on uncomfortable. Either way, 'Tap' is a must-see for any fan of music, and today Diffuser.fm is taking a walk down memory lane to see where the stars of the film are today.
Christopher Guest, Nigel Tufnel
Then: Born to a British diplomat father and CBS executive mother in New York City, Christopher Guest rocked a Jeff Beck-inspired wig to play the role of Nigel Tufnel, Spinal Tap's absent-minded yet lovable lead guitarist.
Now: Married to Jamie Lee Curtis, Guest has carved out quite an impressive directing career with cult comedy hits such as 'Waiting for Guffman,' 'Best in Show' and 'A Mighty Wind' in his filmography.
Michael McKean, David St. Hubbins
Then: McKean was already a veteran of the hit '80s sitcom 'Laverne & Shirley' by the time he played David St. Hubbins, the singer/guitarist of Spinal Tap. The name is derived from Saint Hubbins, described in the film as the "Patron Saint of Quality Footwear."
Now: Now appearing on the HBO comedy series 'Family Tree,' McKean is married to Annette O'Toole, the actress who played Martha Kent, the mother of Clark Kent on 'Smallville,' from 2001-2011.
Harry Shearer, Derek Smalls
Then: Like McKean and Guest, Shearer has also been a cast member of 'Saturday Night Live,' but he's most famous for his role as Tap bassist Derek Smalls. Who can forget the classic scene where he stuffs a foil-wrapped zucchini in his jeans to compensate for his lack of manlihood?
Now: A celebrated author, comedian and filmmaker, Shearer is a God to 'Simpsons' fans, voicing Principal Skinner, Mr. Burns, Ned Flanders, Rainier Wolfcastle, Dr. Marvin Monroe and many characters on the long-running animated series.
Rob Reiner, Marty DiBergi
Then: Before directing 'Tap' and playing DiBergi in the movie, Reiner portrayed Michael "Meathead" Stivic, the long-suffering son-in-law in 'All in the Family.'
Now: Besides 'Tap,' Reiner has directed such hit films as 'The Princess Bride,' 'Misery' and 'Stand By Me,' but no one will ever forgive him for being the man behind the box office dud 'North.'
Fran Drescher, Bobbi Flekman
Then: The only thing more annoying about publicist Bobbi Flekman's music industry-related phoniness was her nasally voice, courtesy of Queens, N.Y., native Fran Drescher.
Now: It turned out that the grating voice wasn't just put-on for 'Tap,' but Drescher rode the nasally whine all the way to the bank, playing the starring role in '90s sitcom 'The Nanny.'
Billy Crystal, Morty the Mime
Then: Playing a Marcel Marceau-inspired waiter, Crystal only had one scene in 'Tap,' but his "mime is money" line is among the most quoted in comedy-geek circles.
Now: A hugely successful actor, Crystal has also hosted the Academy Awards nine times, bringing his Borscht Belt, yuck-it-up brand of comedy to the living rooms throughout the globe.
Dana Carvey, "mime waiter"
Then: Carvey played one of Crystal's mime lackeys in 'Tap,' proving again that every actor has to pay his dues (even if that means sacrificing your dignity by wearing mime makeup).
Now: The 'Saturday Night Live' alumni became a hero to suburban metalheads everywhere with his Garth Algar character in the 'Wayne's World' sketch and movie franchise.
Paul Shaffer, Artie Fufkin
Then: Shaffer played Artie Fufkin, the incompetent record promoter behind Tap's epic failure of a record store signing, one of the movie's most uncomfortable scenes.
Now: As band leader on 'Late Show with David Letterman,' the Canadian-born Shaffer gets to trade comedic banter with a television icon on a nightly basis.
Fred Willard, Air Force Lt. Bob Hookstraten
Then: The improvisational comedic actor appears in the scene where Tap perform on an Air Force Base, telling the by-then-defeated band that the soldiers on the base aren't really familiar with Tap's work but are "big fans" of "the whole genre of rock 'n roll."
Now: Willard has continued to collaborate with Guest, but one of his most famous "appearances" got him arrested in 2012, when the actor was charged with "engaging in a lewd act" in a Hollywood, Calif. adult movie theater.
Paul Shortino, Duke Fame
Then: Shortino — then singing for Sunset Strip hair metallers Rough Cutt — played Duke Fame, a vocalist the guys in Tap ran into in a motel lobby. St. Hubbins (jealously) claims: "We had to apologize for him with our set. It's all hype."
Now: Now fronting '80s hair farmers King Kobra, Shortino also gets to don leather pants and frilly pirate shirts as a cast member of Raiding the Rock Vault, a Las Vegas musical featuring hits by Def Leppard, Queen and other classic rockers.

SDP - The SOA-enabled Path to Integrate Legacy and IMS Networks: Market Analysis & Forecasts 2012 - 2016
- Language: English
- 91 Pages
- Published: May 2012
Proper implementation of a service-oriented architecture (SOA) involves a robust governance lifecycle that extends to run-time. At run-time, management of SOA involves monitoring the availability and performance of services and compliance with service contracts and associated service-level agreements (SLAs). It also includes managing security and other policies that mediate and control the interaction of services at run-time. Significantly, the responsibilities of managing SOA at run-time have critical dependencies on underlying infrastructure, especially when service levels are threatened. Yet there is a disconnect, as governance of SOA is typically the domain of the software development organization, while responsibility for managing underlying IT infrastructure falls to the data center or operations group.
So what happens when SLA compliance is in jeopardy? While some issues may be confined to software, other cases - such as adding new classes of users - could overtax IT infrastructure. At run-time, how is the resolution of such issues coordinated? Who is ultimately accountable for SOA performance? The solution lies with a shared responsibility among business stakeholders, software development, and IT operations groups. The synergies between SOA governance, run-time management, and IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) policies can support effective, shared responsibility for the SOA run-time.

Mule Rides at Grand Canyon
For the more adventuresome visitor, looking to create a true lifetime memory, why not take a mule ride down into the Grand Canyon or perhaps along the rim. We offer two guided rides using a time-honored method of canyon transportation: the sure-footed mule.
Horses may be iconic to the American West, but the equine of choice at Grand Canyon has long been its hybrid relative, the mule. These animals combine the sure-footedness of a burro with the larger size and strength of a horse, and have been carrying canyon visitors since the late 1800's. More than 600,000 people have taken Grand Canyon mule rides since they were first offered in 1887. In 1904 Fred Harvey became the exclusive provider of mule rides at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Xanterra Parks & Resorts, then known as Amfac Parks & Resorts, purchased the Fred Harvey Company in 1968.
There is no Grand Canyon adventure more rewarding or more unique than a mule ride. The overnight rides go deep into the canyon, staying overnight at Phantom Ranch (one or two nights). If you think the view from the rim takes your breath away, wait until you experience the Grand Canyon from within. If you only have a short time to visit the South Rim, but are still longing for adventure you can take the Canyon Vistas Rim Ride. While it doesn't take you into the canyon the views along the way are stunning.
Canyon Vistas Mule Ride
The Canyon Vistas Ride is a four-mile, two-hour mule ride that travels directly along the east rim of the canyon. The entire adventure to include travel time to and from the barn is 3 hours. The Mule Wranglers that lead the trip will stop six times along the trail to provide interpretive information about the geologic formations, cultural history, the area's native people, the surrounding forest and more. There are up to 20 riders per departure.
March 15th through November 30st
The Mule Ride departs at 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m.
December 1st through March 14th
The Mule Ride departs at 9:00 a.m.
PRICING – The cost of the ride is $117.75 per person, excluding tax, and is subject to change without notice. Water and water bottles are included. Rain jackets are provided.
RESERVATIONS – Mule rides may be reserved by calling 1-303-297-2757 or toll-free within the United States at 1-888-297-2757.
GROUPS – Ten mule riders are designated as a Group. For Group reservations view Mule Trip Group
Riders must confirm their ride at the Bright Angel Lodge's transportation desk preferably the day before the ride or at least two hours before departure time. All riders must be at the main livery barn in Grand Canyon Village 15 minutes before departure. A short interpretive tour to the Yaki Barn and back is part of the adventure.
Overnight Rides to Phantom Ranch
This remarkable adventure begins at the stone corral adjacent to the historic Bright Angel Lodge. Here our Livery Manager will prepare you for the ride by reviewing the safety requirements and provide you with information about the trail and Grand Canyon. Next, our Wranglers will saddle you up and prepare you for your adventure. The decent down the Bright Angel Trail is 10.5 miles and will take approximately 5 ½ hours. No worries there are rests along the way. You will enjoy lunch at Indian Garden, and then proceed along the rock face of the Inner Gorge, across the Colorado River on the Suspension Bridge, and up Bright Angel Canyon on the north side of the river to Phantom Ranch. Overnight mule rides stay the night at Phantom Ranch, a rustic historic oasis nestled deep in the canyon. Each cabin is furnished with bunk beds, sink, toilet, bedding, soap, and hand towels. Showers and bath towels are available.
On the evening you arrive you will enjoy a hearty meal served family style in the Phantom Ranch Dining Room. After breakfast the morning of your departure, you return via the South Kaibab Trail. The ride back up is about 7.8 miles (5 hours). Upon your return to the rim you will be met by a driver who will bring you and your party back to the Bright Angel Lodge.

President Bush's supporters were out in full force during a visit to my town earlier this week. Like all Presidential appearances this one was carefully staged, but someone forgot to tell the local paper it is forbidden to report this:
Although Bush seemed folksy and empathetic during yesterday's appearance, the program was carefully scripted and rehearsed. Linda Detring, vice president for operations for Lutheran Senior Services, was one of six people who participated on the stage during the give-and-take with the president.
Detring said she had several meetings and telephone conversations with White House representatives about her role. After that, she said, there were two rehearsals, one the night before the event and the second yesterday morning.
"There was a White House representative there who pretended to be the president, and we told our story," Detring said.
The President's plummeting approval ratings? According to one supporter, "Bush has had more to deal with than most presidents, perhaps as many problems as Franklin Roosevelt or Abraham Lincoln." Well, yes, I can see the parallels.10:19 am on April 13, 2006 Email Peter Klein

Obama's $1.1M super bus debuts on Midwest tour [w/video]
Codenamed "Stagecoach" when the President is aboard, the bus was built by well-known Canadian motorcoach builders Prevost, with an interior fitted by Nashville-based Hemphill Brothers Co., all to the tune of $1.1 million. The Secrete Service actually bought two of these buses using a fund for transportation and armored vehicles. The second will be used by whoever winds up being the 2012 Republican presidential nominee. The President's protectors also claim this purchase will turn out to be both cheaper and safer than what they used to do, which is lease a bus and temporarily outfit it with the required safety equipment.
As for what keeps the President safe in his tuxedo black motorcoach, the Secret Service is understandably silent on the issue of specs. If we use the Presidential limousine as a baseline, the new bus can likely withstand bullets, small bombs and chemical attacks, at the very least. It also probably has a supply of the President's own blood on board in case of emergencies, just like the limo, not to mention a robust cache of arms. A motorcade of over two dozen support vehicles also travels with the bus.
We're also in the dark about what's inside, but we hear it's nothing like what NASCAR drivers get. ABC News reports those who have seen the inside called it "subdued," and that the full bedroom in back has been replaced with a meeting room. Not many people beyond Obama's senior staff have even seen the inside of the bus. A cabinet secretary reportedly hitched a ride for a leg of the trip, but other guests on the tour travel behind the president in a dark red bus.
Check out more pics of the President's new rolling fortress in the gallery below, as well as two videos after the jump.

By Apoorva Shah
NEW DELHI — Almost two weeks after the tumultuous meeting in Islamabad between the Indian foreign minister S.M. Krishna and his Pakistani counterpart Shah Mahmood Qureshi, a bad taste continues to linger in the mouths of many Indian foreign policy analysts. Since the meeting, every major Indian newspaper has published a column regretting India's decision to engage Pakistan. The WikiLeaks episode, which included more evidence of the Pakistani intelligence services' links to the Taliban, added fuel to this fire.
What was once exuberance about India's prospects for rapprochement with its rival has now turned into regret and bitterness. The shift happened as soon as Krishna and Qureshi walked out of their meeting room in Islamabad and into a joint press conference, where they returned to their old ways of finger pointing and bickering.
But what explains India's capricious Pakistan policy? Here in New Delhi, strategic thinkers in think tanks and universities recognize the changing dynamic of Indian foreign policy. Simply put, there are bigger fish to fry: China, East Asia, and the Indian Ocean are just a few of India's future challenges. Yet when push comes to shove, neither the media nor diplomats can avoid their instinctual reactions to Indo-Pak tensions.
In a lecture at India's National Maritime Foundation, strategist C. Raja Mohan diagnosed the problem not as one of hardware, but rather of software. India needs an "intellectual underpinning" to its military and diplomatic forces, he said. Outside of the government, in private think tanks and universities, these strategic needs are becoming clearer. Transferring this mindset to the ministries and agencies that handle India's foreign policy, on the other hand, will be a challenge.
Unfortunately, unlike India's economic needs, its foreign policy can't be outsourced to vibrant start-ups and ambitious corporations. It's one area where the change will have to happen within the central government. Until then, we can continue to expect puerile behavior from India whenever times get tough with Pakistan.

Here's a description of the critical theory survey course I'll be teaching at SFAI this Summer:
CONTEMPORARY CRITICAL THEORY (Crit Theory A) "The Point Is to Change It"
What is theory good for? Marx famously complained that while philosophers have only interpreted the world, "the point is to change it." Just what are the relations of theory and practice? How does theory illuminate and invigorate human agency?
Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, The German Ideology
Sigmund Freud, The Future of an Illusion
Roland Barthes, Mythologies
Michel Foucault, Discipline and Punish
Hannah Arendt, The Human Condition
Paul Gilroy, The Black Atlantic
Richard Rorty, Contingency, Irony, and Solidarity
Carol Adams, "Beastliness and the Politics of Solidarity"
Judith Butler, Undoing Gender
Donna Haraway, "A Manifesto for Cyborgs"
And here are the two courses I'll be teaching at SFAI this upcoming Fall:
CONTEMPORARY CRITICAL THEORY (Crit Theory B) "Theory Faces Technoscience"
A technophile is a person to whom we attribute a naïve or uncritical enthusiasm for technology, while a technophobe is a person to whom we attribute a no less uncritical dread of or hostility to technology. But what does it tell us that there is no comparably familiar word to simply describe a person who is focused on the impact of technology in a critical way that pays equally close attention both to its promises and its dangers? Is it really so impossible to conceive of a critical technocentrism equally alive to real promises and alert to real dangers?
Technological development is an ongoing provocation on our personal and public lives. Indeed, in contemporary technocultures continual developmental interventions into "given" norms, laws, trading conventions, and the customary limits of architecture and morphology, as well as the fraught practices through which we struggle individually and collectively to re-weave these disruptions into meaningful relations with our histories and our hopes constitute a definitive and abiding crisis of cultural life in this historical moment.
In this course we will survey some of the key interventions of critical theory into the problems, values, assumptions, and specificities of contemporary technoscience. Together with these theoretical texts, we will contemplate fiction, film, and policy-making that takes up these problems and expresses these values and assumptions in different but related ways. These texts will sometimes be technophilic, sometimes
technophobic. Sometimes they will be freighted with hyperbolic enthusiasm, sometimes with intimations of disaster. Some will see technological development as inherently superhumanizing, some as inherently dehumanizing. We will lodge our own interventions in a hope that refuses nostalgia and a critical realism that refuses the faith in inevitable progress.
Hannah Arendt, "Prologue" to The Human Condition
Richard Barbrook and Andy Cameron, "California Ideology"
John Perry Barlow, "A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace"
Michel Bauwens, "The Political Economy of Peer Production"
Walter Benjamin, "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction"
Michael Berube, "Life As We Know It"
James Boyle, "Enclosing the Genome?"
David Brin, "Three Cheers for the Surveillance Society!"
William Burroughs, "Immortality"
Jamais Cascio, "Leapfrog 101" and "What Would Radical Longevity Mean?"
David Cronenberg, dir. The Fly
Erik Davis, "Experience Design"
Richard Doyle, "Darwin's Pharmacy"
Jacques Ellul, excerpts from The Technological Society
Michel Foucault, "Space, Knowledge, and Power"
Donna Haraway, "A Manifesto for Cyborgs" and "The Promises of Monsters"
Katherine Hayles, "Liberal Subjectivity Imperiled: Norbert Weiner and
Cybernetic Anxiety"
Martin Heidegger, "The Question Concerning Technology"
Hepburn and Tracy, Desk Set
James Hughes, "Embrace the End of Work"
Jeron Lanier, "One Half of a Manifesto"
Steve Mann, "The Post-Cyborg Path to Deconism"

Marc Steigler, "The Gentle Seduction"
Bruce Sterling, "Viridian Design Speech"
Oscar Wilde, "The Soul of Man Under Socialism"
Slavoj Zizek, "Bring Me My Philips Mental Jacket"
CONTEMPORARY CRITICAL THEORY (Crit Theory A) "The Enterprise of
What are the conventions through which we constitute the proper objects of interpretation in the first place? And who are the subjects empowered to offer up interpretations that compel our attention and conviction? What happens when objects object to our interpretations and demand the standing of subjects themselves? How does the interpretation of literary texts differ from the interpretation of the law? How does it differ from a scientist's interrogation of her environment? Or from any critical engagement with the "given" terms of the social order in which one lives? Or even from the give and take through which we struggle to understand one another in everyday conversation?
Friedrich Nietzsche, Ecce Homo
Sigmund Freud, "The Psychotic Doctor Schreber"
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, The German Ideology
Roland Barthes, Mythologies
"They Live," John Carpenter, dir.
Michel Foucault, History of Sexuality

These texts are amazing - a few I hadn't heard of by authors I really like. I've got some hunting-down to do.

Peacework has been published monthly since 1972, intended to serve as a source of dependable information to those who strive for peace and justice and are committed to furthering the nonviolent social change necessary to achieve them. Rooted in Quaker values and informed by AFSC experience and initiatives, Peacework offers a forum for organizers, fostering coalition-building and teaching the methods and strategies that work in the global and local community. Peacework seeks to serve as an incubator for social transformation, introducing a younger generation to a deeper analysis of problems and issues, reminding and re-inspiring long-term activists, encouraging the generations to listen to each other, and creating space for the voices of the disenfranchised.
Views expressed are those of the authors, not necessarily of the AFSC.
From the Editor's Desk "But words are things, and a small drop of ink/ Falling like dew upon a thought, produces/ That which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think."
From Don Juan. Canto iii. Stanza 88 by George Gordon Noel (Lord) Byron
Peacework, as an independent, nonprofit magazine, is a small drop of ink in a very large media ocean. As we turned to formulating this particular dollop of ink, Peacework's annual book review issue, I realized that, in his satirical piece, "English Bards and Scotch Reviewers," Byron probably described me too well. If I am lucky, I have, "just enough of learning to misquote; a mind well skill'd to find or forge a fault; A turn for punning, call it Attic salt...."
Though I wouldn't lay claim to the biting wit the reference to Attic salt implies (see www.atticsalt.org/name.htm), I certainly have what some, reading Peacework's headlines, might call an unfortunate "turn for punning."
We lead off this issue with Steven Hill's timely article on the opportunity that still remains for Democrats, Republicans, and others to expand democracy in the upcoming US presidential elections, rather than circumscribe it.
Maxine Hong Kingston's Fifth Book of Peace, reviewed here, also calls on us to expand the democratic conversation, by sharing our stories of effective nonviolent action, and listening empathetically to diverse, even divergent, voices. I hope the stories we share in Peacework, both on an ongoing basis and in this issue, contribute to generating a sixth "book" of peace.
Adbusters magazine is at the forefront of "culture jamming," the effort to call capitalist media into question by turning ads inside out with incisive commentary and clever graphic design. In these pages, Adbusters calls on us to help reclaim and transform our media culture. With similar scope and audacity, David Solnit's edited volume, Globalize Liberation, chronicles and advances the development of new global movements against corporate globalization. Just as US corporations have used both the National Guard and private Pinkertons to break strikes and unions, global capital uses the US military to maintain capitalist empire, which in turn is contracting this role out to modern mercenaries, as described in Corporate Warriors.
In the long term, capitalist growth, in Muhammad Yunus's famous aphorism, is based on the logic of a cancer cell -- exponential growth suicidally destroying the environment it needs to survive. Richard Heinberg's work, The Party's Over, focuses on the need to revamp our energy future before the cancer metastasizes further.
Elaine Mar focuses attention inward, to the appropriate technology of what Gandhi called constructive program; in her case, not spinning, but the reflective practice of knitting.
The next three books reviewed here, one centered in Palestine, one in Ethiopia, and one in Indonesia, focus a critical empathetic lens on people caught in cruel cycles of violence. These books suggest that we examine our own complicity with systems of violence, and use that self-awareness to understand those who more overtly perpetrate the crime of war.
Children's librarian Lani Gerson provides us with an overview of children's books focusing on these same difficult and sometimes inspiring themes. The Jane Addams and Gustavus Myers book awards, and the selections from AFSC's film and video library, present us with additional resources to help spread the "dew" of nonviolent social change.
The travails of artist Steve Kurtz, still facing 80 years in prison for daring to create innovative art in the US, reminds us that the freedom to create, to write, to read, and to make millions think, is never fully won. We must struggle for it anew with each generation.
In a Peacework editorial eight months
ago, I waxed poetic about my newborn baby, Sasha. I am now joyfully
looking forward to a few months of parental leave, and have placed
the next two issues of Peacework in the skilled hands of
Peacework Managing Editor, Sara Burke. I look forward to
good reading.

As a long-time Iron and Wine fan, I was intrigued by the announcement of this double-disc release that spans the spectrum of Sam Beam's musical career. What most call a rarities and b-sides album, I see more of an insight into the progression of Beam's collaborative sound, compiling many of his strongest tracks that never made it onto his full-length efforts. Given the high volume of unreleased or hard-to-find material Iron and Wine has recorded, the twenty-three tracks chosen for this release seem only appropriate in order to get an accurate cross section of Beam's career. One thing to keep in mind is that almost none of these songs are outtakes that were scrapped, but ones that are found on out-of-print seven-inches, compilations, and even his first home recordings.
I was under whelmed by Iron and Wine's last release, The Shepherd's Dog, not because it lacked complexity or pleasant progressions, but because it strayed too far from the lo-fi sound I had come to associate so strongly with Beam and company. Now much later, I can appreciate the direction of his musical endeavors to encompass the freedom that he has certainly earned himself. Not to mention, the limitations of acoustic singer-songwriter songs could lead to a redundancy that he certainly would not let himself fall into. But with this release, Beam gives listeners like me a chance to return to the sounds that I first came to love.
The first disc of Around the Well begins with "Dearest Forsaken," a fitting acoustic track with a Southern twinge, accompanied by the muted vocal style of Iron and Wine's earlier recordings. The disc continues in a chronological fashion, with crucial unreleased tracks such as "Swans and the Swimming" and a cover of Stereolab's "Peng! 33." Throughout these tracks, we can see the minimal but wonderfully placed arpeggio guitar progressions, often complimented by a slide guitar or banjo-type rhythm section. The early blues influence is coupled with the heart-breaking placement of each note, which sheds light on Beam's most raw and stripped-down songs.
The second disc starts as a progression into the cleaner production style that we began to hear with 2004's Our Endless Numbered Days, with the once-bonus track "Communion Cups and Someone's Coats." With this, we hear more peripheral instruments playing a role in each track, on the road towards a more full band sound. On songs like "Sinning Hands" and "Love Vigilantes" we hear more of an extension of Beam's lo-fi sound, which leads us into a few tracks from the The Shepherd's Dog sessions. Through these, we explore the new sounds and instrumental experimentation that have resulted from Beam's eclectic musical mind.
To be honest, I could probably talk about this all day. But I'll spare you by simply saying that this is crucial to any Iron and Wine fan that hasn't followed these hard-to-find tracks. Even for those who have, this is a great collection to remind you why you still love Beam and his barrage of raw ability. If nothing else, Around the Well gives you a privileged perspective of where this outfit has been, and perhaps some insight into where it might go from here.

I should never set expectations when it comes to music. When was the last time an album was exactly as good or as bad or as neutral as you thought ...
Judging an artist based on another's artistic merit is an unfair and pretty bogus way of looking at music, but whenever I listen to Iron & Wine (and/or almost any ...
Recently, I've made a pact with myself to never again purchase an album with an oxy-moronic title. This is due solely to the fact that usually the majority of emphasis ...

MMUVA was developed through the assistance of an Education Enhancement Grant at Virginia Tech.
HistoryMMUVA was first developed in the undergraduate cyber art class of Collaborative for Creative Technologies in Arts and Design (CCTAD) (Art 4504) taught by Dr Paterson in the Spring 2008. The class consisted of 3 art students, and 1 computer science student. Each of the arts students had an area of specific skill, including design, music and dance. Students were organized into cross-disciplinary teams to create large works of cyberart, for example, multi-screen sculptural installations, interactive virtual environments or digital video. The intention was to translate existing media into digital form and potentially create new media forms and genres. The collaborative focus was on the integrated, parallel development of digital media technologies and digital media content. In researching the work of cyber artists, new media artists, and a series of guest lectures from CCTAD members (which included animators, filmmakers, photographers and painters). Students completed a series of preliminary projects, which included activities to develop their skills before creating the final class project, which was a precursor to MMUVA. Visit video here.

It was only a matter of time. A presidential candidate has finally been bitten by…a penguin.
It turns out Newts and penguins don't always get along. While no charges have been filed, the undoubtedly savage attach occurred earlier this week at the St. Louis Zoo. A Magellanic penguin bit Newt Gingrich on the finger, spurring a lot of speculation about how penguins lean politically. Many have quipped that the penguin in question must have been a Democrat. Andrew Lieffring, a Facebook commenter on the Politico story, went so far as to say "The liberal bias of penguins is well documented. They are always wearing tuxedos like hollywood elites."
Agree to disagree. I think this is less a matter of politics and more a matter of taste. Has anyone gotten the penguin's side of the story? I think we all know this wasn't Newt's first visit to the ice enclosure, if you know what I mean. There's even photographic evidence that Newt's been spending time with other flightless birds.
All I'm saying is that there might be more to this story than we first realized. Has anyone considered that perhaps Newt had just offered this penguin an "open habitat" where other penguins could also bask in his animal-loving glory? I for one would not blame the bird for taking a little nip after hearing news like that. At any rate, let this be a lesson to us all:

SodaStream (NASDAQ:SODA)
Buying a 2L at a convenience store is easier, and cheaper than dealing with stocking up on syrup and CO2. Environmental minded folks may be happy to pay to save the environment, but why deal with the hassle when you can throw your Coke 2L in the recycle bin and "set the bubbles free". Cool device though. I just don't see mass appeal.

Tenants in the building where a pizza deliveryman allegedly raped a resident say managers fired the doorman as a scapegoat. Now, the doorman is worried about paying for care for his son, who is in an intensive care unit. NY1's Michael Herzenberg filed the following report.
Police say Cesar Lucas raped a woman just after midnight Saturday morning.
The 16-year-old was delivering food for Sal's Pizzeria to a building on the Upper West Side. Investigators say he slipped into the open door of another apartment on the same floor and attacked a 35-year-old woman while her 7-year-old daughter slept nearby.
Luis Rodriguez was the doorman on duty that night.
"Being attacked in your own home with your daughter laying on the bed next to you, I think it's beyond comprehension how someone, an individual, could stoop that low," he said.
Rodriguez has worked there for 23 years. But now he's been suspended indefinitely without pay. He says that means he's fired.
"It's been very difficult," he said. "I'm on an emotional roller coaster."
The 64-year-old is emotional, in part, because he's staying in an intensive care unit with his 13-year-old son, who has pneumonia and a neuromuscular disorder that could be fatal.
"My benefits, my union benefits, I lose all that. Who's going to be paying for my son's care?" he said. "It's killing me to see how certain people turned their back on me for an incident that was not my fault."
Joanne Tombrakos lives in the building. She's obviously upset about the rape but also that management let Luis go, apparently because he didn't check when the delivery boy was upstairs for 20 minutes.
"All I can imagine is that someone wants to place blame on somebody," Tombrakos said. "I'm not sure what anyone would have been able to do in this situation."
Rodriguez said he couldn't leave his post. In July, the board cut back, laying off the overnight porter, who could have looked for the delivery boy.
"I was there by myself," he said. "What was I supposed to do?"
Rodriguez says he's grateful for the support he's getting from tenants but does not know what he's going to do.
"Economically and emotionally, I am a total wreck," he said.
Rodriguez is now hospitalized. His friends said he had a breakdown. His union, 32BJ, said it's going to fight to get his job back with back pay.
Halstead Management Company had no comment, nor did the president of the condo board, who hung up on NY1.

"Somebody has said that what an actor has to do is be clear, and in order to be clear as an actor, you have to be clear to yourself. I don't think it's possible to be a good actor without some very distinct center. I think a good actor has got to be, in a way, almost like a priest. That there is a purity of spirit involved which makes it possible for ideas to be conveyed through that person to the audience, that the actor becomes a kind of conductor or a medium, or a way of transferring something abstract and indefinable to an audience."— Christopher Walken
When I was in college I thought the weirder you were, the more creative you'd be.
And the more creative you were, the better art you'd make. Oh, how I wish it were that easy!
If only I simply needed to be weird, out there, and different in order to make good art.
To be honest, I wouldn't have to do much work, I already feel that way, and I imagine you do, too. However, eccentricity is not necessarily the mark of a true artist. In fact, it can often mean the exact opposite. Being eccentric isn't nearly enough to make good work and is too often a distraction for the professional creator as the word quite literally means being "off center."
Artists are rebels and so they should be.
We exist to offer a different point of view. We are prophets who often go against the mainstream. But sometimes artists get so carried away with their rebellion they begin to wage war with their own center of gravity. They lose this "purity of spirit" in exchange for mere difference. Again, rarely is it mere eccentricity or fringe living that makes for a good piece of art, or a good life, for that matter.
I remember one of the last shows I did before taking my sabbatical. I was the youngest person in the cast surrounded by a truckload of incredible older actors all in their 50′s and 60′s. Between shows and rehearsals, we'd chat about different parts of the business and their lives. I'd always be asking for advice. They were amazing actors and I wanted to be just like them. But after about five weeks together I noticed an unsettling trend. All but two of the ten actors were divorced and in every case the divorces were directly related to their lives as actors.
One actor in particular, when asked to reveal a little more of his story, began to tell me that as a young artist he simply didn't believe the rules applied to him. For him to have the freedom to create, he needed to be different, which meant doing whatever he pleased, whenever he felt like it. I heard story after story of sadness and ruin all in the name of art.
These men had spent their lives being so eccentric and living on the fringe for the sake of their craft that they lost bits of their souls, and in some cases, their entire families along the way.
I'm all for fringe exploration. I'm all for rebellion. I'm all for slashing through the empire. But not if it costs me my center.
I'm very protective of this place because I know what it feels like to try and make from a place that is in pieces. In fact, much of my art up until the last five years was created from a broken center.
My actor friends are good artists, but I imagine the great artists they could be if they were to create from a center that was distinct and whole.
Thanks only to grace, my center is now becoming as such and it is from this place where I now create. I must know it well and I must not hide from it, even if being eccentric makes me appear more artistic or on the edge.
When we live off-center, we run the risk of jamming the conductor that is meant to be clear, whole, and ready to reveal to our audience what has been revealed to us. As artists we must work to find our center and keep it both holy and wholly.

this goal has been on my list long enough. this needs to happen this year. gonna make it happen.
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.
- The Robots.
this goal has been on my list long enough. this needs to happen this year. gonna make it happen.
It was another series Jennifer and i finished. It was one of mine.
it was my 30th birthday and my moms 50th birthday. sister and mom had talked about a cruise a while back and i was tasked to make it happen.
we booked a princess cruise on the crowne princess to the southern carrabean. we stopped at princess cays, curacoa, and aruba. i took my dad snorkling. it was me teaching my dad how to do something. it was great.
the cruise wasnt as relaxing as going to st. lucia because it wasnt just jennifer and i but it was still good. we had 3 rooms. we saw several broadway shows and i slept through them.
the hectic about the cruise was being on a schedule. everything had a time and a place.
the good thing about the cruise was the family atmosphere. we were all able to be together.
either way, some wonderful memories and we finally have family portraits.
task done!
Speechless. Unbelievable. Time of my life. Awesome.
wow. its been a while since i have had to use this! just went on the best vacation of my life but i will get to that in a bit. loving life. really loving life. loving Jennifer and Simba too!

how can i forget about toronto? it was one of the best trips i have ever had with jennifer. i was calm and collected. i didnt have any anxiety. i had fun. it was relaxing but it was also fun. i was in control. we saw casa loma. we went out. we werent worried about money and it was just cool.
ok didnt really go for the water show.. well didnt even see the water show but the air show was off the hook. it was really hot and it was hard to see with the sportsbrella. jennifer came up with the idea of mounting the sportsbrealla straight up. that was fun.
i was a little kid when we went to our 4th of july in madison because they had F-16 flyover. the drive to madison was only an hour long and it was one of the first picnics. we had food from sams club and we played cards and it was hot but our sportsbrella helped out.
i remember going to the taste of chicago for a day trip. even though going there was hard because of the long drive, it was well worth it. it was one of the last drives with the grand prix. i remember walking up and down the taste of chicago. it was very busy but it was fun. we had perogies. i love perogies.
jennifer booked the tickets for the q101 jamboree. the tickets were great. we drove down in horrible rain. we had a lot of fun at this concert. afterwards, we watched a movie. i think it was transformers 3D but i could be wrong.
Muse knows how to put on a great show. the concert was at bradley center. didnt know the songs but the show was fun.
i remember going to the weezer concert during 102.1 Milwaukee's Vuze festival at the Summerfest Grounds. the Weezer concert was a lot of fun. Weezer was really good.
great middle eastern restaurant in the bradey street area. dinner was very very good. saw belly dancers and jennifer even had fun. lol
afterwards went for a walk up and down brady street. saw a few thai restaurants that would be nice to try out.
French restaurant. Went there for our 3rd year wedding anniversary (well, from the toronto wedding)
Dinner was great. the ambience was great. the food, though expensive, was great. it was a nice one time treat. had beef tar tar and onion soup as the app.
jennifer had the bistro steak (skirt steak.. loved it). i had the fillet.
overall, a perfect night.

the wife and i are on season 3! love barney!
"I will mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that."
-Martin Luther King Jr.
i dont remember actually what date i watched this movie but it was just over a month ago. it was great. it was much better than i thought it would be. i understand why this is the #1 movie on IMDB. this movie is complex and can be watched over and over again. Infact, i wouldnt mind watching this movie again and i really dont like watching movies over and over.
wow. the best burger ive had in milwaukee. enough said.
the wife and i went to our first MSO show on 04/30/2011. It was awsome. Not only was the musical score great, the actual cirque performers were awsome. they were mostly solo visual performances. i liked where we sat for this show as being closer was good to see the cirque part. discovered that we can sit as far back as row S. anyther further back than that is just bad.
overall, it was a fun night

Fairly thick beads, about the size of a dime but oval.
About ten beads in the strand.
Each groove is tinted or not with uneven application of colors that range from light beige to darker brown to green, it gives it a rusty appearance.
The grooves give it an animal feel.
I think it would mix well with hammered copper, chains, and leather because of the tones and the hint of green, and the rusticity.
You will either see the potential of them or hate them saying the application of the coating is shabby and rushed.
