6 Bands No One Noticed Broke Up
By Corey Deiterman
It's pretty incredible that Big Head Todd & the Monsters are still around, considering that they emerged during the same H.O.R.D.E. era that gave the jam-rock world the Spin Doctors. But since their early-'90s heyday, they've become a reliable, sturdy three-piece, the kind of dependable live band that doesn't warrant constant sellouts but rather the kind of "Yeah, I can dig this" vibe that long-term music careers are made of.
In the years since their initial hype ebbed, Big Head Todd & the Monsters have had ups (an appearance at last year's Austin City Limits fest) and downs (one band member's infamous hookup on an episode of MTV's The Real World). Last year's double-disc Live at the Fillmore finds them delivering a solid if perfunctory set of originals that display their roots in Southern rock, among them "Crazy Mary" (not the Victoria Williams song that Pearl Jam covers) and "Conquistador," which flirts — albeit briefly — with a bit of melancholy. More than anything else, though, Live at the Fillmore proves that for Big Head Todd & the Monsters, diligence pays off — everything here sounds prouder, brighter and better than any studio album the group has recorded. — Jeff Miller

Big D and the Kids Table
Normally "ska-punk" and "pop-punk" give me the heebie-jeebies, but this horn-laden and huge (11-piece) Beantown ensemble won me over. Big D and the Kids Table can swing both fluid Specials-style ska — complete with killer keyboards, luxurious horns and ooh-aah female backing vocals — and anthemic, textured punk stompers. Their sprawling, 20-song, 80-minute opus How It Goes comes as close as close gets to a ska-punk symphony, an album that repegs the bar a few inches higher for all others in the field. Sure, the lyrics are hedonistic and insipid. Who gives a shit? This stuff is fun, pure and simple, and promises to be even more so on the big stage at Fitz's. — John Nova Lomax
Thursday, March 10, at Fitzgerald's, 2406 White Oak Drive, 713-862-3838.
Tom Russell
The latest CD from this Cali-reared former Brooklyn cowboy who now lives in El Paso is called Hotwalker, which refers to a person who walks racehorses to cool them off after a run. Despite its, ahem, interesting collage of spoken word, audio snippets and music that explores vanishing American bohemia, one wonders if Russell also needed a cool-down before he made it. As to how he'll get such an overloaded steed to run in concert, who knows? But given Russell's years on the club boards with six-string partner in crime Andrew Hardin, it's a sure bet this country-folk vet won't be able to help delivering a show well worth the ducats — especially when he transforms the Hotwalker trip into performance. — Rob Patterson

Electric Eel Shock, with the Thieves and Ronin Kin
The Gearhead Records brass must've racked up some serious frequent-flyer miles while wintering in Japan, as Electric Eel Shock is one of two (and maybe more) rising sons signed by the label recently. It hardly matters that thousands of miles separate Electric Eel Shock from Gearhead's West Coast hooch haunts; the label's sonic earmarks abound: brutally lacerated MC5 riffage, frantic pacing and endless proclamations of rock and roll's life-saving properties. And therein lies the main charm of Electric Eel Shock's upcoming U.S. debut, Electric Eel Shock Go U.S.!: the hilariously broken English lyrics. "I'm sorry I can't speak English well, but I wanna sing this song for you guys!" "My God is early Black Sabbath. Every day, every night, I like Ramones!" "I never gonna give it up. I gonna eat it up!" In-friggin'-deed!
While not quite the exploding fuzz-storm of Japanese punk demolitionists that is Guitar Wolf (themselves in town next week), Electric Eel Shock exhibits the universal attributes of seemingly all Japanese rock bands: an ocean-deep reservoir of energy, a healthy respect for leaving extraneous electrical noise in the mix and a ridiculously manic, wall-bouncing live show. It's not the catchiest stuff in the world, and it even gets numbing by disc's end, but it's a welcome departure from Gearhead's sometimes rote hot-rod punk.
The Thieves are a trio of Englishmen — purveyors of straight-ahead hard-rock jams tinged with Pink Floyd psychedelia and T. Rex glam flourishes — who have been marooned in Southern California the past few years. The band's White Line EP transcends a blah opening tune to end with the right-left combo punch of "Everynite" and "It Still Goes On." These two roundhouse rockers showcase the band's all-too-uncommon forte: a Zep-like ability to find a nice hypnotic riff, ride it out and build it up into a thunderous crescendo. Locals Ronin King open with a wall of noise that would make Phil Spector piss his pants. — Eric Davidson and John Nova Lomax

Castanets with Weird Weeds and Lazarus
Basically the brainchild of one Raymond Roposa, Castanets makes what he calls "derailed psych-country." Who am I to disagree with such astuteness? Cathedral is country as in Western desert, sun-fried, things done in rural county shacks you don't want to know about. Equal parts Daniel Johnston and Syd Barrett if each were raised on Willie Nelson, Roposa mixes his worryingly whispered vocals with acoustic guitar, found objects and even some horns just to keep you guessing. Surprisingly pretty and desolate, Cathedral is engaging in a twisted sort of way. "Baby, I don't know where the hell I am," Roposa sings on "No Light to Be Found." No one will know this place either, but it is an interesting, scary and ultimately satisfying locale. — Darryl Smyers
Friday, March 11, at Walter's on Washington, 4215 Washington Avenue, 713-864-2727.
Elvis Costello & the Imposters, with Tift Merritt
As the official Most Stubbornly Eclectic Rock Artist to Maintain a Mainstream Toehold Over the Course of Nearly Three Decades, Elvis Costello has earned a little privacy, so who can blame the guy if he doesn't feel like doing interviews? Too bad, though, 'cause we wanted to ask him about his gooey relationship with Houston blues, particularly his apparent love for Bobby Bland and Jimmy "T-99" Nelson. Instead, we'll just reiterate that EC's rootsy 'n' recent Delivery Man disc is the beloved entertainer's most satisfying rock record since he delved into the world of chamber music song-cycles, Burt Bacharach collaborations and marriages to hot jazz divas (all right, just one of each, but still...). Add in the fact that these Imposters are really the classic Attractions with Davey Faragher replacing turncoat bassist Bruce Thomas, and there's every reason to expect a real Snopesian barn-burner of a show. — Scott Faingold
Sunday, March 13, at the Verizon Wireless Theater, 520 Texas, 713-230-1600.
Pat Metheny
Guitar legend Pat Metheny has done nothing more than expand his horizons for nearly 30 years. Initially a fusion player lost in the '70s torrent of jazz-lite, Metheny always had the chops but seemed to stay too firmly in check to rank with the greats. That all ended with 1980's ponderously titled As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls, his collaboration with Lyle Mays. Called jazz simply because of ECM label constraints, the found sounds and electronics of Wichita were such a shocking departure that many purists cried foul.
The Way Up is Metheny's best since Song X, his untamed effort with Ornette Coleman. With traffic noises as a backdrop, Metheny's latest actually succeeds in melding his wild-oats years with the fusion that first gained him notoriety. Soft and slow passages are enlivened by atypical frenzies reminiscent of the late, great Frank Zappa. Not content to serve as background music, Metheny continues challenging himself and the listener. Few can claim such distinction. — Darryl Smyers
Monday, March 14, at the Verizon Wireless Theater, 520 Texas, 713-230-1600.
Steve Miller Band
He may have sung years ago about wanting to "fly like an eagle into the future," but it's been more than a decade since Steve Miller released an album of new material. So will his rodeo appearance be a case of "take the money and run," or will the 61-year-old rocker transform the big barn into "Swingtown" and spend the night "rockin' you, baby"? A report from his appearance at the San Antonio rodeo last month suggests the latter. Recently returned to the road after a four-year break, Miller is sure to play the big hits, and for some that's more than enough. But with blues harmonica whiz Norton Buffalo still in the band, the Dallas native also has been tending to his Texas blues roots, paying tribute in San Antone to Freddie King and playing his version of Mississippi bluesman K.C. Douglas's "Mercury Blues" (which, as it was a hit for Alan Jackson, should satisfy the country purists at the rodeo). So with a little "Abracadabra," he might "reach out and grab ya" with something more than the usual exercise in nostalgia. — Rob Patterson

The Bravery, with Ash
MTV and Rolling Stone both call them "an artist to watch." They're the "Top of the BBC's 'Sound of 2005' poll." They are the next Strokes, or at the very least, the next Killers. The members of hyped-up NYC act the Bravery practically have "next big thing" stamped on their foreheads — they're even up for an election in that category right now in Fuse. Do they deserve it? Well, the guitarist seems to be somehow hung up on both the Edge circa Unforgettable Fire and a motley crew of hair-metal shredders; singer Sam Endicott lifted his anguished, world-weary faux English drawl lock-stock-and-smoking-eye-shadow from Robert Smith; the drummer rides his high hats nonstop like he's in New Order; and the whole thing rests on 2K4's de rigueur bed of warm synths and droning bass. It's all very danceable, of course, and it is pleasant. But here's the thing: All their songs sound alike, and they all sound like last year, not this year. In short, people who like this sort of thing will like this sort of thing, and I'm sure this will be a successful year for the Bravery. As for me, I think it's bands like this that will smother retro-'80s rock in its cradle. Last year in this paper, Garrett Kamps predicted that this stuff had jumped the shark. How tragically right he seems to have been.
Oh, and poseur alert! Did you know that just two years ago Endicott — who is now decked out in leather and a Morrissey-style pompadour — was the dreads-sporting leader of a ska band called Skabba the Hutt? — John Nova Lomax

VHS or Beta, with Ambulance LTD and Robbers on High Street
The always inquisitive VHS or Beta has a fresh query for its fans: Disco or new wave? After debuting with 2002's Le Funk, which married house music's throbbing metronome to the jam-band circuit's organic improvisation, the Louisville quartet uncorked last year's Night on Fire, which is starkly angular enough to chase away party guests. Among fans of its earlier grooves, this metamorphosis raised questions, such as "What's with the English accent?" and "Why the maddeningly steady percussive pulse?" However, recent converts who discovered VHS or Beta through college radio or some contextual-recommendation system ("if you like Interpol/the Rapture/the Curiosa Tour in a theoretical, I'm-not-actually-buying-tickets way, try...") dig the band's ability to rescue sorrow-shipwrecked songs with buoyant bass lines. Split between these vastly different albums, VHS or Beta set lists generate flashbacks to 1991 school dances, at which tracks from the Cure's Mixed Up might have segued into selections from C&C Music Factory. — Andrew Miller
Tuesday, March 15, at the Meridian, 1503 Chartres, 713-225-1717.
Melissa Ferrick, with Garrison Starr
Onetime violin prodigy Melissa Ferrick is used to playing second fiddle; even her fans call her "the other Melissa," in deference to Ms. Etheridge. Signed to Atlantic in the early-'90s, Ferrick watched another girl-with-guitar hopeful on her label soar while her albums tanked, a scenario she skewered with "The Juliana Hatfield Song." As a hard-touring independent artist with an aggressive acoustic approach, she then attracted endless comparisons to Ani DiFranco. While DiFranco now plays full-blown funk with a big brassy band, Ferrick still prefers stripped-down showcases, with only an occasional drummer or lap-steel player in tow. And none of the aforementioned artists has ever recorded a tune as deliciously tawdry as Ferrick's "Drive," an explicit ode to lesbian love that she sometimes segues with Prince's "Darling Nikki." — Andrew Miller
Tuesday, March 15, at McGonigel's Mucky Duck, 2425 Norfolk, 713-528-5999.
Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti
This one-man prog-disco-pop-beatboxing act releases records that sound like they were recorded one instrument at a time using two tape recorders, but from what I can make out, the songs seem fairly solid. If you like early Sebadoh and that shrimpy guy from the Moldy Peaches, you'll probably have a tolerance for this. Plus, lo-fi acts almost always sound better live. — Scott Faingold
Tuesday, March 15, at the Proletariat, 903 Richmond, 713-523-1199.
Kings of Leon, with Soundtrack of Our Lives and the Features
The Tennessee quartet Kings of Leon — three brothers and a cousin who share the last name Followill — have garnered a lot of ink for their backstory. The brothers are sons of an itinerant fundamentalist preacher father, and that Southern-gothic bio often has obscured the fact that this is one of the best new bands around, even if their home country doesn't quite get them yet (as opposed to the UK, where they're huge, bona fide double-platinum superstars). While their full-length debut was packed with up-tempo Southern-fried rockers, the just-released Aha Shake Heartbreak has a bleary-eyed world-weariness that hints strongly at too many nights with various body parts either pressed down to mirrored surfaces, wrapped around glass bottlenecks or inserted in various groupie orifices. In fact, groupie love seems to be the record's overriding theme, as attested to by tracks such as "Taper Jean Girl," the impossibly catchy "The Bucket" and "Slow Night, So Long" ("I hate her face / But I enjoy the company"). Vocalist Caleb's recurring self-doubt (two songs mention his fear of growing bald) and morning-after recriminations make his partying tales sound more resigned than boastful. He knows last night was fun, but horribly sleazy (though we should all have such problems).
The band certainly has seen and done a lot in two years. The work of drummer Nathan and bassist Jared is mixed to the forefront, while the licks of lead guitarist Matthew are all over the map. While Caleb's already trademark slurred vocals ("song" becomes "saaawwng") are bound to frustrate those who try to decipher the lyrics, they are utterly unique, a sort of singing in tongues.
In interviews, the Kings talk about how they hope each record advances on the last and how they want to create distinctive periods ŕ la the Rolling Stones. Though some of the slower material drags things down slightly, Aha certainly achieves that. Come to think of it, that template also worked for another little act called U2, who hand-picked the Kings to open the spring leg of their highly anticipated U.S. tour, which begins only a couple of weeks after this date. Hopefully, the boys won't be swayed by the incessant preaching of that band's messianic leader. — Bob Ruggiero

The Duhks
Like a sequel to Hitchcock's The Birds, suddenly the Duhks are everywhere. NPR, The Washington Post, No Depression mag, KPFT's World Cafe...It seems the media can't get enough of these five Winnepegians. Twentysomethings with oodles of music schooling, the Duhks play roots music, twisting it up with nods to other genres.
The band recently was signed by Sugar Hill Records, so comparisons to the label's flagship act Nickel Creek immediately spring to mind, but the song "Mists of Down Below" reminds us of another Sugar Hill act — namely, the brainy Northeast roots-jam band Railroad Earth. Produced by Bela Fleck and Gary Paczosa, the self-titled album might be a little too clean and often proceeds at a measured, restrained pace, although occasionally the pickers loosen their grip on the reins with jammy instrumentals like "Gene's Machine." I suspect their live shows have more verve than their recording.
While the band anchors itself in old-timey music (most of the cuts are new arrangements of traditionals), it has a distinct New Age aura. Lead singer Jessica Havey (there's never an article that doesn't prominently mention her prominent tattoos, so there!) has a smooth, bluesy, quite dramatic voice that on the surface wouldn't seem to mate well with the Duhks' Celtic and Appalachian musical explorations. But it's exactly this dissonance that makes the package work on tracks like "Four Blue Walls" or "Death Came A Knockin'," whose Latin drumming and percussive banjo sound like Odetta in a session with Arthur Fielder's Delta blues symphonic minions. Ringer guests like Fleck, Irish songwriting legend Paul Brady, and top-of-the-line bassists Victor Wooten and Edgar Meyer add priceless embellishments. — William Michael Smith

Hot Hot Heat with Louis XIV
A major-label band touring an album before it's released? And it's not due to "packaging technologies" ŕ la Spinal Tap? Can it be? Crazy as it sounds, Hot Hot Heat has decided to tour the States for the month before the release of their major-label debut, Elevators. It could all be a ploy to maintain indie cred in the face of Sire Records' big bucks, but odds are it's just to warm up new guitarist Luke Paquin. While they've officially offered only a few clues to the new full-length (the single "Goodnight, Goodnight" and some studio video clips on their Web site), it would seem the band has kept on with its garage/new-wave stylings. So those who want to know what the new album is gonna sound like better get to the show.
Tagging along on this rock and roll revival are San Diego's own rock and roll revivalists, Louis XIV. These new pretenders to the throne don't take much thought; they're in it for the rock and roll. They walk the line of classic garage rockers and able balladeers without too much difficulty. For a new band, they've certainly got the formula, right down to the heavy use of naked females in their cover art. All in all, the bands are a good match, so muss up your hair and get ready. — Chris True
Wednesday, March 16, at the Engine Room, 1515 Pease, 713-654-7846.
Xiu Xiu
San Jose queer-centric soft rockers Xiu Xiu have been able to successfully weave a plush down comforter of unidentifiable influences — a you-can't-peg-us factor to the nth degree. At times, Jamie Stewart's voice quivers and rattles over straight, angular post-punk; at others, it aches over syrupy, rich acoustic guitars; and occasionally, it soars above an electronic orchestra. An unrepentant current of sexuality pulses throughout — swimming just below the surface but ever-present, like a great white's dorsal fin. Stewart's gargantuan, longing lust has trapped him in a prison of his own desire. Think that's "gay," in the junior high sense? Well, dig these lyrics: "Cremate me after you cum on my lips / Honey boy / Place my ashes in a vase beneath your workout bench." — Brian McManus
Saturday, March 12, at Mary Jane's Fat Cat, 4216 Washington Avenue, 713-869-5263.
It's tough to figure out Vice Records. On the one hand, they employ the smart, Brit-proud, smoked-out rap clique the Streets, who — while devoid of the flow American audiences are accustomed to — are cool and risky in their own right. The label also snorts pulverizing disco power duo Death from Above 1979 and hotly hyped dance-music makers Bloc Party, while at the same time taking long tokes on serious downers Panthers, whose tambourine-laden hand claps gently cup the balls of pompadoured rock revivalists, and whose political bent has been lifted directly from the plate of Nation of Ulysses. Sometimes shaking the musical snow globe can be a beautiful thing, but such you-dropped-your-peanut-butter-in-my-chocolate moments are rare. More often than not, mixing the quick with the slow is a surefire recipe for a messy coronary collapse. With a sister magazine that's been covering the culture of drug debauchery for over a decade, seems like Vice should know this. — Brian McManus
Early show, Wednesday, March 16, at the Proletariat, 903 Richmond, 713-523-1199.
Bobby Conn
Hey, mathlete, figure this one out: Queen + Bowie + The Rocky Horror Picture Show = ?
Time's up, put down your pencils. You guessed Bobby Conn. Damn, so close, but wrong. An equation that equals Conn would also have been divided by violin, multiplied by a fistful of psychedelics, and added to a pair of nut-hugging stretch pants...all to the power of two, of course. With songs about whores, private country clubs, gun control, the capitalist system and the United Nations, Conn is able to masterfully walk a fine line between drenching his music in decadent excess and teaching his hypnotized audience a lesson. His stage persona — part outlandishly oversexed deviant, part rock and roll high priest — runs dangerously close at times to being performance art, but huge sonic ripping riffs catapult him from the pit of sucking joke into a stratosphere of "Holy fuck!" — Brian McManus
Wednesday, March 16, at the Proletariat, 903 Richmond, 713-523-1199.
Oxes, with Enon
Oxes hail (appropriately) from the south side of that John Waters mecca of weird, Baltimore, where their tight, continually changing math riffs teeter on the edge of a mountain pass made of metal. They've fallen victim to a dubious distinction of Courtney Lovian proportions over the years, in that they're known as much (if not more) for news-making antics than for their complex music. Their infamous XXX album cover out a couple of years ago depicted the threesome receiving fellatio and snorting the devil's dandruff and was pulled off record store shelves. Wireless rigs and no vocal mikes allow them to roam through unsuspecting crowds as they play — that is, when they're not standing on two-foot-high specially crafted black boxes that raise them above the stage like prophets of rock in an Andy Kaufman wet dream. — Brian McManus
Tuesday, March 15, at Mary Jane's Fat Cat, 4216 Washington, 713-869-5263.

The experienced massage therapists at Shibui Gardens Outdoor Spa vanquish stress with a multitude of relaxing massage services augmented by steamy sauna and hot-tub sessions. Flower-lined brick walkways encased by thick foliage wind through the spa's insulated downtown San Anselmo expanse, which is dotted with wooden structures housing two private massage rooms and open-roofed hot tubs boasting clear views of clouds or flocks of soaring pterodactyls.
The waxing aestheticians at Smooth Operations specialize in private grooming for private areas, preparing them to go public on summer's sandy runways. Unlike the wax used in your chess-club hazing, Smooth Operations employs anti-inflammatory Cirepil wax to provide as painless an experience as possible. The basic wax keeps certain sights modestly unseen during swimsuit-donning season. Opt for a decorative souvenir tuft or a landing strip fit for the Concorde from the French wax. The daring will emerge more aerodynamic than ever after a Brazilian wax, which levels all foliage down to the birthday suit. Depending on the size of the area, aestheticians may take 15 minutes to an hour to craft the bikini-area coif of your choosing, and sensitive areas stay as smooth as a well-oiled Slip 'n' Slide for up to four weeks.
In 2003, Gary Wrona was injured in a severe motorcycle accident. Even after a year and a half of conventional medical treatment, he was unable to function normally without chronic pain and had only a limited range of motion. It was only after his doctors told him they had done all they could that he began to seek alternative healing, which helped him regain normal movement and a pain-free existence. Now a certified massage therapist and master of neuro-linguistic programming, he runs his practice with a holistic approach?one that doesn't simply focus on physical elements but, instead, analyzes the interactions of mind, body, and spirit like three philosophers in a cage match. Beneath the exposed wooden beams of a second-floor loft, he customizes massages with Swedish, deep-tissue, shiatsu, and cupping techniques, hoping to unlock the healing potential that he himself experienced.
When you walk into Eden Day Spa, you are immediately bathed in light from a crystal chandelier. Pure white walls reflect that light off an ornate mirror, teal mosaic reception desk, and delicate orchids, all of which are designed to create a serene mood. The spa extends this relaxing experience with a bevy of traditional and contemporary treatments including facials, massage, and skin care. During body glow treatments, a sunless tanner infuses the skin with antioxidants and botanicals, leaving it with a golden sheen, while Turkish body peels employ a loofah and imported liquid gommage to remove layers of dead skin. Calming facials give the skin an all-over burst of vitality, whereas semi-permeant lash extensions draw attention to your eyes, and a full range of massage modalities soothe the muscles with the help of herbs, therapeutic stretching, and reflexology.
After working for years alongside chiropractors, Yvonne Street considers herself an expert at relieving the chronic aches and pains that result from injuries and constant stress. The certified therapist specializes in five massage modalities?Swedish, shiatsu, deep-tissue, prenatal, and trigger-point therapy?and draws liberally on Eastern and Western techniques to craft bodywork treatments that suit her clients? individual needs. In 60- or 90-minute sessions, she combines long, gliding strokes, pinpointed kneads, and relaxing prods to leave bodies loose enough to help a genie move into its apartment.:m]]
Drawing on more than a decade of experience, derma guru Zoe Alexander performs a suite of skin-centric services, from waxing to organic facials. She custom blends masks to suit each client's skin type, deploying ingredients such as raw organic honey, green clay, and organic apple-cider vinegar to combat fine lines, blemishes, and all colors other than green. Lash and eyebrow tinting add drama to faces, and waxing services from head to toe de-fuzz physiques for up to six weeks.

Chris Mentor Me Cost
Chris Mentor Me Cost
There's a lot of excitement and buzz about the upcoming Chris Mentor Me course. Chris Farrell has released a couple of videos you've just gotta see. In the first one, he asked people what their experiences have been and what problems they have encountered when trying to make money online.
I spent a lot of time reading the many replies (almost 2,000 when I last checked!).
The responses will shock you.
The majority said things like
- they didn't know how to fit all the pieces of the puzzle together
- they didn't understand the technical aspects
- they'd bought heaps of programs that didn't work
- they'd been scammed
- they had information overload
- they didn't know how to get traffic
- they were confused
…and so on.
Most people have wasted hundreds, even thousands, of dollars spent a lot of time and still don't understand the process. The bottom line is that there's nobody out there really teaching the whole process.
Until now.
In the second video Chris Farrell reveals the course content of Chris Mentor Me, how it works, some of the bonuses you get and how all participants will make money in the third week. He also responded to the biggest issues raised in the comments and revealed where most people go wrong. That will surprise a lot of people.
You should get over and watch the videos as you'll learn a lot for free.

Chris Mentor Me Helps Overcome the Common Problems
But before you cringe at the price and say "I can't afford it", please ask yourself a few questions:
- How long have I spent trying to learn?
- Do I know how to make money online?
- How much money have I already wasted?
- Do I understand how to set up a sales funnel?
- How long will it be before I start making money?
- Can I afford to continue losing money?
All over the internet we read stories every day about internet marketers who lost thousands of dollars and didn't make money for many months, even years.
A moderate and wise investment in Chris Mentor Me will SAVE you money and time and will eliminate the frustration. You will actually know AND understand the process and start making money online within 3 weeks. Can you afford NOT to? You owe it to yourself to at least check out the videos. Never before have we seen anything like Chris Mentor Me.

Burglars! Good gracious!' cried the little woman, springing from the bed in one bound. The word 'burglar' was a terrible one to her, as it is indeed, to every well-constituted woman. 'Robbery' does not sound nearly so awe-inspiring.Lyman Frank Baum
Loved once for ever loved: how surely sounds This gospel to me since I learned to list Truth from thy lips, mine own evangelist. What thought presumes to set now any bounds To Love whose being informs us and surrounds?John Evelyn Barlas
During my slumber I had a dream. I thought I was once more by the side of the Sphere, whose lustrous hue betokened that he had exchanged his wrath against me for perfect placability. We were moving together towards a bright but infinitesimally small Point, to which my Master directed my attention. As we approached, methought there issued from it a slight humming noise as from one of your Spaceland bluebottles, only less resonant by far, so slight indeed that even in the perfect stillness of the Vacuum through which we soared, the sound reached not our ears till we checked our flight at a distance from it of something under twenty human diagonals. "Look yonder," said my Guide, "in Flatland thou hast lived; of Lineland thou hast received a vision; thou hast soared with me to the heights of Spaceland; now, in order to complete the range of thy experience, I conduct thee downward to the lowest depth of existence, even to the realm of Pointland, the Abyss of No dimensions.Edwin Abbott
Describing myself as a stranger I besought the King to give me some account of his dominions. But I had the greatest possible difficulty in obtaining any information on points that really interested me; for the Monarch could not refrain from constantly assuming that whatever was familiar to him must also be known to me and that I was simulating ignorance in jest. However, by persevering questions I elicited the following facts: It seemed that this poor ignorant Monarch as he called himself was persuaded that the Straight Line which he called his Kingdom, and in which he passed his existence, constituted the whole of the world, and indeed the whole of Space. Not being able either to move or to see, save in his Straight Line, he had no conception of anything out of it. Though he had heard my voice when I first addressed him, the sounds had come to him in a manner so contrary to his experience that he had made no answer, "seeing no man", as he expressed it, "and hearing a voice as it were from my own intestines." Until the moment when I placed my mouth in his World, he had neither seen me, nor heard anything except confused sounds beating against what I called his side, but what he called his INSIDE or STOMACH; nor had he even now the least conception of the region from which I had come. Outside his World, or Line, all was a blank to him; nay, not even a blank, for a blank implies Space; say, rather, all was non-existent. His subjects of whom the small Lines were men and the Points Women were all alike confined in motion and eye-sight to that single Straight Line, which was their World. It need scarcely be added that the whole of their horizon was limited to a Point; nor could any one ever see anything but a Point. Man, woman, child, thing each was a Point to the eye of a Linelander. Only by the sound of the voice could sex or age be distinguished. Moreover, as each individual occupied the whole of the narrow path, so to speak, which constituted his Universe, and no one could move to the right or left to make way for passers by, it followed that no Linelander could ever pass another. Once neighbours, always neighbours. Neighbourhood with them was like marriage with us. Neighbours remained neighbours till death did them part. Such a life, with all vision limited to a Point, and all motion to a Straight Line, seemed to me inexpressibly dreary; and I was surprised to note the vivacity and cheerfulness of the King.Edwin Abbott
He is the happy wanderer, who goes, Singing upon the way, with eyes awake To every scene, with ears alert to take The sweetness of all sounds; who loves and knows The secrets of the highway, and the rose Holds fairer for the wounds that briars make.Percy Addleshaw
Writers the most learned, the most accurate in details, and the soundest in tendency, frequently fall into a habit which can neither be cured nor pardoned the habit of making history into the proof of their theories.John Dalberg-Acton, Lord Acton
He went; his piping took a troubled sound Of storms that rage outside our happy ground; He could not wait their passing, he is dead!Matthew Arnold
The only way to hasten the kingdom is to hasten growth; to hasten work, and that, too, along the very lines in which the "resounding loom of time" is weaving in its various-colored threads.John Bascom
Pope has more virulence and less vehemence than any of the great satirists. His character of Sporus is the perfection of satirical writing. The very sound of words scarify before the sense strikes.Aubrey Vincent Beardsley
It's an amazing feeling to know that life is actually growing inside your body. The first time you see the ultrasound and you see the little bones and you realise that it's part of you and it's in your care is life changing and this sort of protective instinct has taken over.Halle Maria Berry
It is not given me to trace The lovely laughter of that face, Like a clear brook most full of light, Or olives swaying on a height, So silver they have wings, almost; Like a great word once known and lost And meaning all things. Nor her voice A happy sound where larks rejoice, Her body, that great loveliness, The tender fashion of her dress, I may not paint them. These I see, Blazing through all eternity, A fire-winged sign, a glorious tree!Stephen Vincent Bent
For him no silver cressets shed their light, No eager joy-bells sounded through the night From city minster, or from village tower; No loud "hurrahs," sent from deep-chested men, Lifted the midnight mist from off the glen In celebration of his natal hour.John Stanyan Bigg
My name is L, and I'm from a part of town where clowns Get beat down and all you hear is gunshot sounds.Lamont Coleman
But one is forced to translate thought into action and action into object.. ..I am not a teacher who tells his students only to think. I say: act; do something: I ask for result. It may take different forms. It can have the form of sound, or someone can do a book, make a drawing or a sculpture. I dont care..Joseph Beuys
It is a view of God that compensates every thing else, and enables the soul to rest in His bosom. How, when the child in the night screams with terror, hearing sounds that it knows not of, is that child comforted and put to rest? Is it by a philosophical explanation that the sounds were made by the rats in the partition? Is it by imparting entomological knowledge? No; it is by the mother taking the child in her lap, and singing sweetly to it, and rocking it. And the child thinks nothing of the explanation, but only of the mother.Henry Ward Beecher
Much of junk culture has a core of crisis shoot-outs, conflagrations, bodies weltering in blood, naked embracers or rapist-stranglers. The sounds of junk culture are heard over a ground bass of extremism. Our entertainments swarm with specters of world crisis. Nothing moderate can have any claim to our attention.Saul Bellow
As absurd as it might sound, there's a strange synergy between very bad movies and very good ones. That's because films on either extreme of the quality scale have the ability to burrow deep into the subconscious, with unpredictable and occasionally remarkable results. Great works of art can cause euphoria, touch a deep emotional chord, or, in rare cases, affect fundamental changes in a person's outlook on life. Conversely, viewing unwatchable tripe can be damaging, possibly resulting in psychotic episodes, an appreciation of '70s fashion, or leaping to the defense of Pauly Shore. There's something almost profound about enduring a horrifically inept piece of cinema, and Coyote Ugly, living up to every letter in its name, offers the opportunity for such an experience.James Berardinelli
Kafka could never have written as he did had he lived in a house. His writing is that of someone whose whole life was spent in apartments, with lifts, stairwells, muffled voices behind closed doors, and sounds through walls. Put him in a nice detached villa and hed never have written a word.Alan Bennett
All quiet along the Potomac to-night, No sound save the rush of the river, While soft falls the dew on the face of the dead The picket s off duty forever.Ethel Lynn Beers
Yeah exactly, so if anyone's bummed that The Mars Volta record's too simple or too pop, they can buy that album and it'll take them right back to that kind of sound. It's one of my favourite things I've ever worked on. It's pretty much a Mars Volta record, just without Thomas, Ikey, and Marcel. With Volta [Octahedron] was just our acoustic record that turned into our pop record.Cedric Bixler-Zavala
Sing louder around To the bells' cheerful sound, While our sports shall be seen On the ecchoing green.William Blake
How have you left the ancient love That bards of old enjoyed in you! The languid strings do scarcely move! The sound is forced, the notes are few!William Blake
A day like today is not a day for, sort of, soundbites, really - we can leave those at home - but I feel the hand of history upon our shoulders, I really do.Anthony Charles Lynton Blair
Sit and be still until in the time of no rain you hear beneath the dry wind's commotion in the trees the sound of flowing water among the rocks, a stream unheard before, and you are where breathing is prayer.Wendell Berry

Senior Living Construction Freeze Thawing in Twin Cities
The Twin Cities have experienced a boom in senior housing development as part of a larger trend to provide more care options to its elderly residents, reports the Star Tribune.
In the past year, more than a dozen senior living communities have opened or are under construction, now that a backlog of projects during the 2008 recession have finally become unfrozen.
The Star Tribune writes:
Statewide, the number of housing projects offering senior services increased by nearly 200 since March 2007, to about 1,150 by last month, said Darcy Miner, director of compliance monitoring for the state Department of Health.
Ebenezer Management Services opened five senior centers last year with a total of about 450 apartments, and it has two more centers underway in Burnsville and Deephaven, said Susan Farr, vice president of business development.
Presbyterian Homes opened three facilities in Bloomington, Burnsville and Arden Hills last year and is building two more in Wayzata and Brooklyn Center, said John Mehrkens, vice president of project development.
The Twin Cities is a "very sophisticated senior housing market," said Mary Bujold, president of Maxfield Research of Minneapolis.

Your Shared Photos
Written by: Tiffany Joyce
Last week I requested that readers share the photographs that they are the most proud of. Many people responded with the work they felt was their best, or made them happiest, or that portrayed the emotion they were trying to capture. Here are five selections (I know I said three, but all of the shots were so great!), in no particular order. Some photos were download/URL protected and so could not be shared here, so please be sure to check out all of the submissions in the comments from last week's entry!
This photo was submitted by Marc Llopart. Per his comment, "Was made in Newcastle, it's extremely HDR effect but it gives a really dark and scary effect to the church. Is one of the most viewed pictures in my photo stream. Hopefully you like it." I really do, Marc! It has a very ominous feel to it.
This photo was submitted by reader PJ van Zyl, who describes: "Although the focus in this photo is soft, the moment makes this my fav photo of my daughter spending time photographing Zebra in Africa." What an exciting shot and fantastic photographic opportunity, PJ!
Reader Tyler Wainright says, "I'm a new reader here but I'd like to share a recent shot of my daughter swinging at a local play ground. I'm proud of it because it turned out just how I saw it in my mind." Another example of great timing and composition, Tyler!
Reader Ophelia writes, "I like the detail of the little ladybug leg and it´s one of my better processed pictures. And it actually was a little painful to take the picture. This is my own hand and a DSLR can get quite heavy when held in only one hand for a while." What a sweet shot, Ophelia!
This shot was shared by Cory O'Brien. He describes the scene: "The story: I was shooting at a local charity car race, and walked out to a new location that was on the far side of the course. Less than 5 minutes after getting all set up, the headlining car from the race caught on fire, and limped back to the waiting fire crew. As it rolled by, I snapped away, and when I got home and viewed the photos on my computer, I literally yelled "Yessss!" when I saw that I had got the shot. The whirling smoke and the flame color came out perfectly, and it's framed with just enough track around it to give some perspective. Hard to beat that one!" Awesome shot, Cory!
I had so much fun seeing everyone's contributions, that I think I'm going to make this photo sharing idea a regular thing here at Beyond Megapixels. Thanks to everyone who participated, look for your next photo sharing opportunity here soon!

staff were very friendly price was ok but you are getting the bare minimum because of that !
Not enough pillows on bed could have used one more. Towels a little too rough Not sure if bed cover was clean as it had dust all over like it was thrown on floor and
beds were comfy. room was clean. no bugs, no loud noises in hallway. Good value for the price. it was about 10 minutes from the falls
No breakfast, smaller rooms. No mini fridge or microwave. Not sure what to think about the hardwood floors though. I guess I am just used to carpet in the rooms
NO COFFEE IN ROOM AND ONLY 4 hr. SERVICE IN LOBBY.6am to 10am. REQUESTED DAILY BED SHEET CHANGE. IT WAS'NT DONE. ONLY ONE FACE TOWEL FOR TWO PEOPLE.
We went to get into bed and although the cover bedding looked clean...there were toenails in the sheets and the blue fleece blanket had obviously not been washed..I called down to the front desk and the young man was very nice to give us clean bedding...he told me to mention it to the manager in the morning...when I mentioned it upon check out...she didn't seem to be too concerned...in fact she just said "sorry". I told her that I had folded the dirty bedding and left it on the floor by the bed so they could take a look for themselves. We will no be staying at a Motel 6 again
No carpet in rooms
Someone else was assigned keys to our room and tried to come in while we were asleep.
We really liked how clean this motel was . We felt like it was new . Wished it had served some kind of breakfast or had a Coffee pot in the room .
If you are visiting the Falls, the location is very good. It is such an easy route and less than 10 minutes. Cleanliness wasn't spotlessly, but it wasn't disgusting by any means. I've been in much worse. The rooms have definitely been updated. There are plenty of food choices just down the street and around the corner.
If you don't mind extra, extra firm beds, then you might be ok with the comfort. Did not have a good nights sleep until I used pillows to sleep on.
good value
We had a smoking room, it was all they had, the entire floor reeked of it. Curtain rod was broken, room was starting to show its age. Still good value for the money
No carpet was nice. Location to Falls was convenient.
Too expensive for Motel 6. Staff was not friendly, but not rude. Towels were scratchy, toilet paper was rough and cheap.
Good location, clean and comfortable
Internet access is convenient Bathroom is clean.
Room floor is not clean and sticky
The price
Red stains on the bed, sticky hardwood floors, room was not taken care of the first morning. I had to ask at the front desk for the trash to be taken, and for used towels to be removed and replaced
strong smell of cigarettes in the hall way. eventhough your room is non-smoking, you can still smell from with-in. not good for families with small children.
location is close to Niagara falls
stinking walkways. Walkways/ corridors are stinking with smoke of cigarettes. Noisy airconditiner. Airconditiner was very noisy it almost sounded like if someone is drilling next to us. Wireless was flapping every 3 minutes. The beds/ comforts are of very cheap quality they gave my dad back and neck pains. Never stayed in such a poorly euipped motels for cost of 130$ a night !! Never going to suggest Motel 6 on Niagara Falls Blvd.
There were no extras in the rooms. Would be nice to have a refrigerator or microwave
No carpet in room. Very efficiently put together and clean,
No hair dryer or shampoos or coffee in room.
the price,the nice staff
the plug is limited
Almost new facility; Competative price; Fairly close to Niagara Falls.
Spartan room, like a "Monastery" cell; Slow wi-fi, but free; A bed that squeaks when you move? NO pictures on Any of the walls..? ALL this for only $79...
Wifi, close to the mall, clean (a bit small) but clean...most important.
The location was ok.
Teenagers running in the halls during the night. Morning staff was rude when told the coffee was cold. Answer OH.
efficiency of timing.. location...and price
our bed....it reminded us of a hospital bed. and we thought we were getting a queen size... pretty sure we were in a double need more pillows offered. we went out and bought our own and used them as we stayed along w/ the hotel ones.
The staff was great, very helpful, the room was good, clean, large parking.
hair in the towel, a bit loud room.
No Kleenex
There was no hair dryer ,toiletries or fridge in the room, and I found long black hairs in the towel.

CUI Global, Inc. Announces Intent To Acquire Privately Owned Natural Gas Technology Company Orbital-UK For 17.0 Million Pounds Sterling
TUALATIN, Ore., March 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- CUI Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: CUI), a platform company dedicated to the acquisition, development, and commercialization of new, innovative technologies, today announced it has signed a Shareholder Purchase Agreement ("SPA") to acquire 100% of the capital stock of Orbital Gas Systems Limited ("Orbital-UK"), a United Kingdom-based provider of natural gas infra-structure and advanced technology, including metering, odorization, remote telemetry units ("RTU") and a diverse range of personalized gas engineering solutions to the gas utilities, power generation, emissions, manufacturing and automotive industries.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120320/FL72629LOGO )
Effective upon completion of the acquisition, Orbital-UK will become a wholly owned subsidiary of CUI Global. Andrew Ridge will continue as the managing director of Orbital-UK.

CUI Global does not expect any organizational changes to Orbital-UK's operations in the United Kingdom or elsewhere.
"We believe the acquisition offers significant synergies for revenue growth. Orbital-UK's internationally recognized expertise in the natural gas industry, including bringing together the patented VE-technology with the Vergence® device from CUI Global offer natural gas operators/users a comprehensive solution set for the next generation of energy metering systems," stated William Clough, CUI Global's president & CEO. While the Vergence Technology allows the natural gas operator to quickly and accurately obtain Calorific Value (CV), Wobbe Index (WI), Relative Density (RD), and Compression Factor (Z) in less than three seconds; that analysis takes place after an 8 to 10 minute delay in capturing the natural gas sample from the pipeline. The patented VE-Probe, on the other hand, allows the sample to be obtained from the pipeline in less than two seconds.

Seeking Proof of the Paranormal & Understanding of the Unnatural
Central Arkansas Paranormal Society is a non-profit organization based mainly in Central Arkansas. We strive to cover our state and welcome invitations to investigate outside Arkansas. Our members are of different ages, religions and beliefs and are located all around Arkansas.
Our goals are to help those who are being emotionally and/or physically harassed by the paranormal and to document paranormal activity for those who are curious or just want peace of mind. We will do our best to determine the kind of activity that is present and help to reduce or eliminate it. As there are no guarantees, we don't charge any fees. This is a science, hobby and passion for us.
We investigate haunted establishments to document paranormal phenomena for visual and audible evidence. We take strong measures to refute all evidence before claiming it to be paranormal. We conduct our investigations in a professional manner and have spent the last few years studying, investigating and researching the paranormal.
You can use the form below to contact us if you are in need of our services, would like to join our society or have any questions.

text: Long before there were soccer moms, there were Little League dads. And anyone who's been around kids' baseball -- or who's seen the ''Bad News Bears'' movies -- will recognize the coaches whose philosophies clash in this endearing play by Richard Dresser (''Below the Belt''). Don (Robert Clohessy) is a jock who spits a lot and believes having fun translates to ''one word...winning.'' Dweebish Michael (Matthew Arkin) wants to give the kids a ''place of nurturing.'' The characters are simply drawn and the acting is best when they engage in snappy baseball-as-metaphor banter. The play becomes less compelling, even maudlin, when real life creeps in (woman trouble, a rebellious son). All in all, as Michael says of a ball game, ''win or lose, it's not a bad afternoon in the park.''

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Du Plessis, K URN etd-02232007-095334 Document Title Neural networks for time series analysis Degree MSc (Mathematical Statistics) Department Statistics Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Dr H Boraine Committee Chair Dr J E W Holm Committee Co-Chair Keywords
- neural networks
- time-series analysis
- computer science
Date 2000-04-20 Availability unrestricted AbstractThe analysis of a time series is a problem well known to statisticians. Neural networks form the basis of an entirely non-linear approach to the analysis of time series. It has been widely used in pattern recognition, classification and prediction. Recently, reviews from a statistical perspective were done by Cheng and Titterington (1994) and Ripley (1993).
One of the most important properties of a neural network is its ability to learn. In neural network methodology, the data set is divided in three different sets, namely a training set, a cross-validation set, and a test set. The training set is used for training the network with the various available learning (optimisation) algorithms. Different algorithms will perform best on different problems. The advantages and limitations of different algorithms in respect of all training problems are discussed.
In this dissertation the method of neural networks and that of ARlMA. models are discussed. The procedures of identification, estimation and evaluation of both models are investigated. Many of the standard techniques in statistics can be compared with neural network methodology, especially in applications with large data sets.

Weekly Update
February 17, 2012
Thank you to all the voters in the Aberdeen School District who supported the renewal of our Maintenance & Operations (M&O) levy on February 14, 2012. The local levy provides support for numerous program in our district and with your support we will continue to offer great opportunities for students in Aberdeen.
This week we had a Consolidated Program Review (CPR) of our federal programs by the staff at the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI). This group of program experts spent an entire day in our district reviewing all of our federal programs. You can see by the notebooks our staff compiled, it involved many different aspects of our district operations. We have about 15 items we need to follow up with over the next few weeks in order to stay in compliance. That is something we will work on and submit to OSPI prior to spring break.
Our state swimming and wrestling participants were escorted out of town in style on Thursday. This weekend included state swimming and diving at the King County Aquatic Center, state wrestling at the Tacoma Dome, and All-State Orchestra in Yakima. Best wishes to all. More information can be found on the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (
) and the Washington Music Educators Association (
) websites.
Several of our science classes, from elementary to secondary, participate in various projects throughout the school year. Below are a few pictures from the engineering fair at Stevens Elementary. Aberdeen High School students also demonstrated their Rube Goldberg machines last week in the freshman science classes.
Wednesday evening the Renaissance Action Team (RAT) at Aberdeen High School held the People's Choice Awards for selected students in the auditorium. This is an annual event where students are recognized for their contributions in the classroom, the community, in service to others or for outstanding achievement or growth. Congratulations to all the students selected and involved in this great event. For more information and pictures, check out the
RAT webpage
on the Aberdeen HS website.
Have a great weekend and upcoming week.
Thank you, Tom Opstad
