Why VA Service Won't Improve
Here's a not-so-bold prediction: After the press loses interest in the Veterans Affairs scandal, after the investigations have been completed and one or two officials have resigned, nothing will change.
Is this cynicism? Not really. It comes down to one's view of how much government can achieve by bureaucratic, top-down management.
The progressive project has limitless faith in the capacity of wise managers to run complex systems for the benefit of all. Untainted by the profit motive, bureaucrats can deliver services equitably and efficiently. Every liberal/progressive program has the effect of taking decision-making away from individuals, communities and local governments, and centralizing it in Washington.
President Barack Obama has doggedly championed this approach. His admirers, who share his belief in the power of central management, have noticed that there have been lapses on his watch. Doyle McManus of the Los Angeles Times summarized the disillusioned progressives lament thus:
"The biggest problems Obama has faced in the White House … have come not from making policy but from trying to implement it. The calamitous launch of his healthcare plan last fall is the biggest and most painful example …
"The 2009 economic stimulus plan's 'shovel-ready' projects that took months to start, the confused response to the 2010 BP oil spill, the flap over IRS scrutiny of conservative organizations, even the State Department failures that led to the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi in 2012 — all were mainly lapses in management, not policy."
Obama, McManus concludes sadly, is a "skilled politician and speechmaker but a lousy manager."
It's certainly true that Obama is a poor manager. He isn't interested in the nuts and bolts of policy implementation. He prefers to strike poses. He makes pronouncements like: "If these allegations prove to be true, it is dishonorable, it is disgraceful, and I will not tolerate it. Period." (You'd think by now he'd avoid the intensifier "period.") As with his comments about the IRS scandal, and "If you like your doctor … " and Benghazi, and the Justice Department targeting journalists, the important thing is to get the affect right, not to solve problems or take responsibility. It's unacceptable and a disgrace and no one is angrier than he … and what's on "Game of Thrones" tonight? Maybe he should pose for a photo holding a sign saying "#ManageOurGovernment."
Even if Obama were the best manager in the world, the problems with efficient service delivery by government would continue — because the government is too large, too unwieldy and too lacking in incentives for efficiency to yield much, if at all, to management. A business that fails to deliver services will be crushed by its competitors. Government can never go out of business. At the Veterans Affairs, bureaucrats lied and cooked the books regarding the care they were providing veterans. Eight cardiologists at the Albuquerque, New Mexico, facility, The Daily Beast reports, saw the same number of patients in a week that a single cardiologist in private practice sees in two days. According to the inspector general's report, long wait times, poor service and deceit are "systemic" throughout the system. Some veterans may have died for lack of timely treatment.
Care for another headline guaranteed to recur? "Senate Chair: Fix Dysfunctional Indian Health." That's an Associated Press story about the Indian Health Service, tasked since 1955 with delivering free medical care to 2 million Native Americans. Former Sen. Byron Dorgan found that a "chronic state of crisis" plagued the service, featuring "a lack of providers, hospitals at risk of losing their accreditation, improperly licensed staff, and missing or stolen narcotics." A spokesman for the Assiniboine and Sioux tribes of northeast Montana's Fort Peck Indian Reservation told the Journal Gazette: "All too often, tribal members complain of ailments but get sent home from the Indian Health Service with cough medicine or pain killers. Later we learn the situation is much more serious, like cancer."
Progressives respond that the IHS is simply underfunded — as they regard every federal program except the military. But even Democratic Sen. Jon Tester of Montana found when he examined problems with the IHS that at least one provider was seeing only one patient per day.
It isn't management; it's a matter of incentives. No central authority can make a system like the VA or the IHS or Britain's National Health Service run efficiently. Competition is the only system that gives the power to consumers to reward good service and punish bad. But progressives cannot shed their faith that more government is the answer to bad government, so this story is sure to be repeated.

Living on the Margins:
The Source Family …plus live musical performance by Kohoutek featuring Brother JT
The second film in our series LIVING ON THE MARGINS: 3 DOCUMENTARIES
Also screening:
April 25th: Drop City
June 28: All Divided Selves
dir. Jodi Wille, Maria Demopoulos, US, 2012, digital, 92 min.
The Source Family was a radical experiment in '70s utopian living. Their outlandish style, popular health food restaurant, rock band, and beautiful women made them the darlings of Hollywood's Sunset Strip, but their outsider ideals and the unconventional behavior of their spiritual leader, Father Yod, caused controversy with local authorities. They fled to Hawaii, leading to their dramatic demise. Years later, former family members surface and the rock band reforms, revealing how their time with Father Yod shaped their lives in the most unexpected ways.
The Source Family provides an intimate, insiders' view at this incredible group of people through their own archival photos, home movies, audio recordings and contemporary interviews with members of the family. Serving as a highly personal, insider's guide to the counter-culture movement of the early '70's, the film is inspired by the cult-classic book The Source: The Story of Father Yod, Ya Ho Wa 13, and The Source Family (Process Media) which was written by Isis Aquarian and Electricity Aquarian and edited by director Jodi Wille.
Following the screening, Philadelphia-based improv ensemble Kohoutek will perform a Yahowha-inspired set with psych-rock veteran Brother JT on vocals. Formed in 2003 by percussionist Scott Verrastro (Brother Autonomous), Kohoutek was named as an homage to recordings by both Father Yod and the Spirit of 76 and the Sun Ra Arkestra, two outfits whose improvisational excursions greatly influenced the direction of the band. Like Yahowha 13, Kohoutek sets are spontaneously composed, though the group occasionally explores repeated themes and choice covers. Performances are rituals channeling untapped energy transmogrified through pure expression and response to the immediate environment. In 2009, the band had the opportunity to tour with Yahowha 13 for five days, even garnering Aquarian names. This performance may or may not include interpretations of a couple of Yahowha pieces, but whatever happens, it will be "of the moment." Brother JT's seemingly possessed shamanic declamations will add a Yod-esque flavor to the sonic stew, while local multimedia collective Eye Gate II provide a hallucinatory backdrop of oils and film projections.
Admission to this performance is free with your Source Family ticket stub.

If youвАЩve been a fan of arty rock music during the past four decades, chances are youвАЩre a fan of a musician who is also a fan of Seattle bassist and composer Jherek Bischoff. ¬†On his most recent album Composed, youвАЩll find guests like avant gardists Greg Saunier (Deerhoof) and Nels Cline (Wilco, the Nels Cline Singers), ¬†Brazilian singer/songwriter and political activist Caetano Veloso, and legendary Talking Heads talking head, David Byrne. ¬†That Bischoff, at only 32 years old with a career that was spent busy but mostly in the background, could command such a impressive guest list speaks to not only his talent and the quality of the music he creates, but also to his unassuming sincerity and love for music — and the people who make it.
Composed is a grand, exuberant record written for a 70-piece orchestra that can sound like Morricone writing for Morrissey at one moment and Bacharach asking Schoenberg if he knows the way to San Jose the next.
At Length spoke to Bischoff about his childhood on the high seas, his extremely DIY approach to recording an orchestra, and how he does it all for love.
The website of Jherek Bischoff's performance of Composed at the Ecstatic Music Festival can still be found here, along with photos from the performance, background information and a link to the full archived simulcast by WQXR.  The video clip below features a performance of Composed's "Young and Lovely" from that concert, featuring Zac Pennington and Sam Mickens on vocals.
Also, click below to check out "Eyes" from Composed, featuring David Byrne.
At Length:¬† Even though youвАЩve been playing music for quite a while now, youвАЩre not exactly a household name to most people.
Jherek Bischoff:¬† ThatвАЩs for sure. [Laughs.]
AL:¬† For those who arenвАЩt familiar with your work, can you give a brief summary of your musical career so far?
JB:¬† Yeah.¬† IвАЩve always performed. I started mostly with this band The Dead Science that had a lot of branches.¬† Sam [Mickens, the lead singer] and I both really like to play a lot of different kinds of music and we joined up with a lot of different bands together — we joined Xiu Xiu for a while; Parenthetical Girls, which I still work with; we ended up doing a tour with Craig Wedren of Shudder to Think, backing him up; and also with Carla Bozulich, backing her up.¬† We were also in a musical collective called The Degenerate Art Ensemble for many years. In fact IвАЩm still working off and on with them as well and thatвАЩs kind of a performance art and music group thatвАЩs always changing depending on what the show is.
AL:  Right
JB:¬† IвАЩve also been playing with Amanda Palmer recently and thatвАЩs been really fun.¬† There are a billion other things, but my mind starts to go blank. Those are all the substantial things.¬† Aside from just performing and in playing, IвАЩve always kind of taken a bit of an arrangerвАЩs¬† role in bands that IвАЩve been in.¬† IвАЩve always enjoyed figuring out how that works with whoever else we were playing with. I was doing that a lot.
AL:  Did you start as a rock  musician and then start getting interested in wider things? Did you have any conservatory training or other traditional academic training?
JB:¬† IвАЩm self-taught as far as my instrument goes. My main instrument is bass, but I play a lot of different instruments.¬† I studied jazz for quite a while on my own, and then I went to college — I guess for about two years — studying jazz.¬† At the end of it, I really wanted to get into composition classes, but I got into a couple of them and I just did terribly. IвАЩm not much of a school person even when itвАЩs something I want to learn about. I kind of figured out what I wanted to learn and then just taught myself those things.
That also ties into recording.  I taught myself to record for my own purposes and then people started asking me to work with their bands, solo projects and things like that.  I just kept saying yes, yes, yes, even when it seemed like it was something over my head and crazy, and just  taught myself along the way.
AL: I think thatвАЩs the way to do life well.¬† Say yes, and then figure it out. Your world just expands.
JB:¬† I really enjoy teaching myself how to do stuff. I was raised on a sailboat my whole life.¬† We did a long sailing trip and one on the things I had to do was correspondence school, where you are your own teacher, instead of your parents teaching you like with homeschooling.¬† One of the most valuable things I was learning was how to teach myself.¬† ThatвАЩs one of the things that has stuck with me and shaped me as a person. So IвАЩve never been afraid to learn something entirely on my own.
AL:¬† ThatвАЩs really interesting, and sheds a lot of light on what youвАЩve been getting up to lately.¬† One of the big stories about your latest album, Composed, is the way you put it together.¬† Could you talk a little about that?
JB:¬† I knew that I wanted to make this orchestral record, but I wasnвАЩt entirely sure how I was going to do it, especially financially.¬† There were a few things that guided me towards how I felt I had to do it.¬† One was that I hadnвАЩt worked this way before, just layering and layering very few individuals to create this orchestra.¬† IвАЩve done a lot of stuff on my own, playing most of the instruments myself and layering it to create a really strange orchestra [laughs] but I didnвАЩt really know how to play all the instruments, I just kind of figure it out as I go and hope for the best.¬† For this, I knew I wanted to get actual players that could really make the parts sound great, because I just wouldnвАЩt be able to technically do the things I was hoping for.
Another thing that guided the process was that I had built a crazy music community here in Seattle.¬† Literally any instrument I could think of, I know someone that plays it, and someone who is excited to be working on interesting projects and working on stuff with me.¬† ItвАЩs really, really fantastic. I wanted to finally utilize that and call in all my favors and just do everything with these people.
Yet another thing is that even though it was going to be an orchestral record, I really wanted to keep more of a pop sound,¬† even though itвАЩs all acoustic instruments.¬† ItвАЩs frustrating for me when IвАЩm listening to classical in a car or something because there are so much dynamics. I knew that I wanted to have the orchestra to sound more in your face, and very focused, and a little bit less dynamic than a classical cd, though maybe not as blown out as a modern pop record.
And then money, both to rehearse an orchestra for recording, to get them to a point where I couldвАЩve been totally satisfied, was not even an option. So recording them one by one and then being able to fine tune each individual track, to really make it exactly how I was I was hearing it, was really time consuming — but really gratifying and awesome, too.
AL:¬† I read that you were tossing your recording equipment in a bag and biking around town to these peopleвАЩs places and recording them in their own home.¬† Is that correct?
JB:¬† Yeah, thatвАЩs right.¬† Partly because I have been unemployed — other than being a musician — for a long time that it hasnвАЩt been until very recently that IвАЩve been able to actually have a proper roof over my head.¬†¬† When I first started the record I was living in in my friendвАЩs closet.¬† So that brought about the necessity of recording in other peopleвАЩs place because I didnвАЩt have any place to record.¬† I had to learn to think beyond my needs, take account of what I knew that I had and then try to create the biggest possible thing with my resources.
AL:¬† it definitely succeeds in sounding grand. I had seen you perform with a full orchestra at the Ecstatic Music Festival and then heard the record when it was released, and then afterward read about the way you put it together. I was floored because it sounded very frustrating to me,¬† just from other things IвАЩve done¬† on the computer, where you get ninety-nine of a hundred pieces¬† working fine and then when your adding that hundredth piece you realize you have to change thirty-five of those pieces you thought were totally finished.¬† I imagine you must have had to make multiple visits to musicians houses to do second or third takes during the process of mixing it together.
JB:¬† Amazingly enough, I didnвАЩt have to do that at all except for one vocal thing¬† that was totally my fault.¬† I completely composed these songs before I even did my first recording session with any of the players.¬†¬† I made sure the arrangements were totally perfect in my head and on paper before I ever went over to anyoneвАЩs house, so it was just kind of like putting the pieces of a puzzle together. I knew what the picture was going to look like and I knew that the cellist needed to play with more dynamics here even though there wasnвАЩt anything for them to be playing to at that point.¬† They were just kind of playing by themselves and youвАЩre like, вАЬok, more dynamics here,вАЭ because I knew the way I had written the dynamics out and I knew thatвАЩs what was going to be needed for the piece as a whole.¬† I really tried to make that picture as clear for myself as I possibly could so that I wouldnвАЩt have to go and redo things.
There are also a lot of manipulation things you can do inside of Pro Tools, though I didnвАЩt really do all that much, really — just some little intonation things and stuff like that.¬† It wasnвАЩt a very frustrating experience. It was a little trying at times because it was such a time consuming process, but for the most part it was really fun to explore these very specific things as I was arranging the record.¬† Because I can play a lot of different instruments, but I donвАЩt play all of them, I sometimes play a cello line on my upright bass or a trumpet line on the trombone for the timbre.¬† An orchestra is like this perfect puzzle where every instrument has its defined register and its place and its thing that it does, so I was really conscious of that.¬† I knew if I utilized the orchestra in a good enough way it would kind of mix itself.¬† I didnвАЩt have to make things really loud to be heard as they would just naturally be heard on the correct instrument.¬† Even mixing wasnвАЩt insanely difficult, but again, very time consuming.
AL: So is that how you composed:  you had a couple of instruments that you knew you could mess around with and kind of tease out your idea of what these other ones would be?
JB:¬† Yeah, a little bit.¬† It kind of depends. I do have a lot of the different orchestral instruments in my house that I can play. Especially string instruments because IвАЩm familiar with them, especially violin.¬† Sometimes you get something¬† in your head and then youвАЩre not sure if itвАЩs actually physically possible.¬† Or maybe itвАЩs physically possible but itвАЩs not going to sound very violiny — itвАЩs more of a guitar line or something like that. So it is nice to have those instruments around to play the part a little bit, just to make sure it works on the instrument itself.¬†¬† I donвАЩt know if youвАЩre very familiar with recording but one thing that I did was I would have my friend Paris — who plays the violin — record that part maybe up to fifteen times. And then I would take those fifteen tracks and fine tune them to make each one really great, and then bounce all of those fifteen tracks down to one stereo track.¬† So then the whole violin section would¬† just be controlled by just one stereo fader.¬† And then I would do that with each instrument.¬† By the end of recording I was actually only mixing maybe 15 or 18 tracks or something like that — it wasnвАЩt 300 tracks or something crazy. That really made it a lot easier to mix.
AL:  So you go from all this one-on-one time and all this time mixing the album alone and then premiered it at the Ecstatic Music Festival.  Is that correct?
JB:  Yeah, that was the first time I played all those tunes. There was a few songs that I had written quite a long time ago that I played with different incarnations of different string quartets and things like that throughout the years, but that was the first time playing with the full orchestra. I also played maybe half of the songs at my thirtieth birthday party.  I put together a fifty-person orchestra here in Seattle and that was the first time a lot of those pieces were played, but this was the first time that I played all the pieces together. There are several pieces that had never been played before.
AL:  I noticed on stage several times you seemed to be really overcome with emotion.  What was going on? Can you tell me a little bit about what you were feeling when you were up there with the orchestra?
JB:¬† Yeah, absolutely. For me a big part of it is playing music with people that you really care about. A lot of those musicians were people that Ecstatic Music Festival provided, which was the Wordless Music Orchestra.¬† And then maybe half of them were really great friends of mine from Seattle — all the players from the actual record and people that IвАЩve shared long musical histories with. Those friends of mine, along the Wordless Orchestra, were just an amazing crew of people.¬† Being able to play music, especially orchestral music… I feel like thereвАЩs a perception that people donвАЩt look like they have a lot of fun when they play it.
AL:  Right
JB:¬† ItвАЩs important to me that even if IвАЩm playing music that is really serious and intense to still be having a good time. And looking around that room while I was playing and seeing everybody making eye contact with each other and eye contact with me… It was just a super beautiful experience, and got me pretty worked up emotionally.¬† And on top of that my whole family was there.¬† My dad and brother were both on drums and my nephew played gong.
AL:  I remember that.
JB:  My girlfriend and her entire family had shown up from all over the U.S.  Feeling the amount of love and support from my musician friends and my family was really overwhelming.  And not to discredit the emotion, but pretty much anytime I talk in front of an audience I start crying.  [laughs.]  I get real emotional when I speak  in front of an audience, especially about stuff that I really care about, whether its happy or sad.
AL:¬† When you put something of yourself out there artistically and then you ask people be a part of it, to invest their time and energy into it, itвАЩs a lot of responsibility.¬† You ask a lot of people to do something and theyвАЩre even happy to do it thatвАЩs a lot to take in.
JB:¬† It is. The show taught me a couple of really important lessons.¬† One of those was it showed me how important it is to play with people that I really care about.¬† And really deciding to stick with that not as a rule but as a guide to make decisions by.¬† ThereвАЩs part of me that thinks walking in and playing with the Seattle Symphony sounds awesome and great, but¬† the fact that IвАЩve got a large enough community to do this stuff myself and knowing everybody in the orchestra,¬† and being able to look around and smile — itвАЩs a no brainer to me.¬†¬† To put together my own orchestra and really approach it more like a really giant band instead of a bunch of hired musicians that might or might not like the music — you never really know.¬† TheyвАЩre there because theyвАЩre musicians and theyвАЩre getting paid.¬† I know when I put together my own orchestra the people are there because they really want to be there.¬† ItвАЩs not a job itвАЩs a gig.
AL: Yeah, exactly.
JB:¬† Another thing that I felt pleased about from that show was developing¬† my feel for connecting with an audience.¬†¬† IвАЩve been working with a lot of musicians for a long time like my friend Jason whoвАЩs a singer songwriter and who is pretty theatrical — like how Amanda is.¬† He really deeply connects with his audience and does a lot of stuff to pull his audience in.¬† IвАЩve been thinking a lot about that myself.¬† Both Amanda and Jason are these very serious extroverts and IвАЩm much more of an introvert, but IвАЩm still really attracted to that idea of really connecting to an audience, and really pursuing that as much as I canвА¶ but on my own terms.
AL:   Sure.
JB:¬†¬† I saw the Dirty Three when I was in Australia, and Warren Ellis connects so deeply with the audience. HeвАЩs got his back turned to them and hardly does anything, but heвАЩs got this thing, you know?
AL: HeвАЩll be lost in playing and then suddenly turn around and tell the most amazing story, and then go right into playing again.
JB:¬† Exactly.¬† And I realize thatвАЩs his version of connecting.¬† If he didnвАЩt tell those stories there would be a pretty large void in what he does.¬† HeвАЩs like, вАЬok this song is about…вАЭ and tells this big story and that gives the audience something to think about and feed off of and gets their imagination going before they even play a note.¬† That was a powerful experience to me, to see how he does that.¬† ItвАЩs an organic thing.¬† At the show, I felt like things were naturally happening, like the audience was understanding what I was doing and could feel the sense of warmth that was happening on stage without me having to talk about it.¬†¬† I felt the energy in that room was a circular energy — not just me playing music at people, it was playing music for and with people.¬† I think thatвАЩs whatвАЩs happened to me in the last couple years is making that change of not playing at people but playing music for people.
AL:¬† ItвАЩs very apparent.¬† You can hear how much the audience is with you.
JB:¬† YeahвА¶ it was really lovely
AL:¬† When youвАЩre getting emotional theyвАЩre getting emotional with you.¬† You can hear how theyвАЩre hanging on the musicвА¶ its really great .
This all makes me think of how critics try to describe your music as вАЬclassical meets rockвАЭ and figure out how those things mix in your work.¬† IвАЩm sure IвАЩm going to offend classical music lovers when I say this, but I feel like this favoring of in-the-moment emotion over absolute perfection — like when you were discussing the symphony vs. an orchestra of your friends — is the most rock and roll thing about your music.¬†¬† I think this is especially true of the vocalists you work with.¬† Many of them are iconic rock vocalists, but they donвАЩt have perfect voices.¬† TheyвАЩre very affecting and direct, but idiosyncratically imperfect in their own way.¬† How did you go about selecting these singers and persuading them to be on your record?
JB:¬† I have always been attracted to vocalists that arenвАЩt perfect — I am really drawn to those cracks and showing the moment really influencing whatвАЩs coming out of your mouth instead of just training yourself to act a certain way when youвАЩre singing.¬† I feel like all the vocalists I wanted for the record are very in-the-moment singers. That is definitely what drew me to those singers in particular.
So when I was first starting to do the record I was working on it and composing almost all the tunes on ukulele, interestingly enough, and I would just sit there with the uke and sing along.¬†¬† As I would sing, my voice would start changing and I could start to hear other peopleвАЩs voices within my voice.¬† Like, вАЬoh, I hear David ByrneвАЩs voice singing this.вАЭ¬† IвАЩm terrible with impressions and I could not actually sound like him, but in my mind I was.¬† I thought about how it would be amazing for him to sing that song, but then I thought that IвАЩd just sing it myself, because thereвАЩs no way in hell IвАЩm going to get David Byrne to sing my song.¬† So I kind of went back and forth — by the end of composing the record, I had individuals picked out for most the songs — I knew who I wanted.¬† Luckily, a lot of them were people that I worked with before and I knew that I could get some of them.¬† At the same time, I thought it might be weird for me to sing five songs and then four of my friends sing other songs.¬† It just didnвАЩt seem quite right, especially since I didnвАЩt necessarily hear my voice on these other songs.
Then my friend ended up being a dancer and guitar player in David ByrneвАЩs band.¬† He and I had worked together on some stuff and had been friends for years and I was like, вАЬhey I know youвАЩre touring with David, so could you pass this song on, if itвАЩs not too weird?вАЭ¬† He didnвАЩt think it was weird and said heвАЩd give it to him.¬† I got a response back immediately from David himself saying, вАЬas soon as I get back from touring IвАЩd be really excited to sing on this song.вАЭ¬† From that moment I knew that I would just go ahead and pursue everybody.¬† It helped to be like, вАЬhey David Byrne is going to sing on my record. do you want to sing too?вАЭ¬† It made it a little bit easier.
AL:¬† вАЬWhatвАЩs up Nels Cline, do you want to be with David Byrne on my record?вАЭ
JB:¬† [Laughs.] YeahвА¶. So it made things easier. David was super supportive and asked if I had any other singers I wanted, and I knew that he was friends with Caetano [Veloso], who is one of my favorite singers of all time, so I was like, вАЬwell, can you get Caetano?вАЭ¬† so that worked out well.¬†¬† Most the other folks I think I was already friends with.
AL:  What about some of the other special guests?
JB:  Greg from Deerhoof I was friends with already, and Nels I knew from working with Carla.  Craig I had worked with; Zach and Soko I had worked with. I think everyone else were either immediate friends of mine or people that are in my sphere.
AL:¬† ThatвАЩs an amazing list.¬† When I first decided to go to that Ecstatic Music Festival concert, part of the reason was that it looked like a very interesting group of people that had all come together in service of somebody I had not heard of.
JB:¬† YeahвА¶[Laughs.]¬†¬† A friend of mine — I think it was Craig — wrote me a text the day of that show. HeвАЩs like, вАЬman, itвАЩs going to be so much fun!¬† ItвАЩs like the Grammy awards for weirdoes!вАЭ¬† Another really amazing thing about that show was that I worked with all these people through email or in person, but¬† everything was just one-on-one.¬† But to see all these people in the same room together backstage, just talking… and you know theyвАЩre all weirdoes, but theyвАЩre all really sweet weirdoes.¬† It was incredible to see all these friends of mine from the last twelve or fifteen years, friends that IвАЩve made through my entire musical past, all conversing on the same backstage.¬† Seeing them all together, I donвАЩt knowвА¶ The idea hit me that thatвАЩs my family.¬† My family was there and my musical family was there.¬† It was pretty overwhelming.
AL:¬† Speaking of weirdoes, and I mean that in the same affectionate sense in which weвАЩve been talking, I wanted to talk to you about working with Amanda Palmer.¬† Her Kickstarter campaign to fund her first album after she left her label is one of the biggest music industry stories of the year.¬†¬† I know that Composed was put out on Brassland (operated by the NationalвАЩs Dessner brothers), which I imagine is a very supportive environment, but did seeing how that whole process unfolded in Amanda PalmerвАЩs operation change your own opinions about labels and making records?
JB:¬† Well, itвАЩs interesting. I signed on to the Amanda thing partly because I knew good friends of mine were going to be involved. Also, I feel like the grass is always greener.¬† I really love composition, but when IвАЩm really deep in it I think about how great it would be to just play bass and rock out and not worry about anything.¬† Then, of course, when IвАЩm playing bass IвАЩm thinking man I wish I was at home on my computer composing and working on that stuff.¬† So at the point when I joined the band I was kind of feeling like the thought of just going on, not¬† autopilot,¬† but not having to personally round up a fifty-person orchestra sounded fantastic .¬† When I do my own shows I pretty much do everything from the promotions to, you know, every little part of it.¬†¬† Thinking about being able to go on a tour and not have to worry about any of that stuff sounded great.¬† So I signed on, and then also IвАЩm opening all these shows.
AL: Oh, really?
JB:¬† And IвАЩm putting together a string quartet in every single city.
AL: Wow.
JB:¬† Which is my little way of¬† trying to kill myself.¬† So that was also a big thing.¬† I wasnвАЩt even planning on touring Composed at all because its just¬† kind of impossible.¬†¬† And then she was saying, вАЬyeah, we were thinking about trying to get a string quartet for every city.вАЭ¬† I was thinking, вАЬok, now this sounds pretty awesome.вАЭ¬†¬† So now IвАЩm doing¬† a U.S., European, and Australian tour.
Beyond that, she was talking about recording the record with John Congleton, who is someone I have crossed paths with a lot but never had a chance to work with.¬† HeвАЩs a really fantastic producer and I kind of wanted to get a chance to look over his shoulder.
AL:¬† ItвАЩs always good to learn some new tricks.
JB:¬† So thereвАЩs a lot of different elements that led me to that decision to do it.¬† And as far as using what sheвАЩs doing as a model for my own thing — itвАЩs really strange.¬† IвАЩm still getting my footing on how things work in the Amanda camp.¬† There are elements of it that are so, so great.¬† Having a full team of people that are there to help you and help her and to get the word out about things.¬† Having that system is incredible. And she obviously utilizes it very, very well.¬† I donвАЩt know if I ever found myself in the situation of being that much in the public eye. As I said earlier,¬† there are different ways of connecting to an audience and sheвАЩs definitely found her way.¬† One of her main ways is through Twitter.
AL: For sure.¬† SheвАЩs a pro.
JB:¬† I like twitter fine, IвАЩll go on a trip with Amanda and IвАЩll be exhausted and just be like, вАЬok, I need a moment of not having to think about things.¬† IвАЩm just going to stare out the window and just chill.вАЭ¬† And¬† then at the end of the day IвАЩll look at Twitter or something and sheвАЩll have Tweeted like fifty times.¬† IвАЩm just holding on for dear life and IвАЩm like,¬† вАЬwow.вАЭ¬†¬† I donвАЩt even see her Tweeting.¬† I donвАЩt know how she finds the time or energy to do this.¬† I know thatвАЩs not naturally me.¬†¬† But she does it really well and itвАЩs an amazing resource.¬† She can just Tweet, вАЬwe need a rolling pin hereвАЭ and in five minutes thirty rolling pins will show up.¬† Its unbelievable.¬† As far as how much of the music I was involved in, I did a bunch of string arrangements for her record and I wrote all the bass lines. I also actually wrote one song as well, which is one in the middle of the record called the вАЬGrand Theft Intermission.вАЭ¬† ItвАЩs something that I had been playing around with for a while and when she said she needed a little bombastic intermission song thatвАЩs short,¬† I said,¬† вАЬwell, I have just the thing!вАЭ¬† So we recorded that and it made it on the record. ItвАЩs a fun little piece and it sounds very unique.
AL:¬† YouвАЩre out on tour with Amanda Palmer and then I see a lot of dates through the end of the year in America and Europe.¬† Are you looking ahead past touring to any other projects?
JB:¬† Yeah.¬† IвАЩve got my own real big show here in Seattle on December first at the Moore Theatre, which is a big, beautiful theatre here.¬† And thatвАЩs going to be an Ecstatic-style show — IвАЩm going to¬† get a lot of the singers that were on the record and put together a big orchestra and do it up.¬† And then I was commissioned by Lincoln Center to do some new music for an ensemble called Why? Music, with Greg from Deerhoof on drums and me on bass.¬† ThatвАЩs going to be I think December twentieth over at the Atrium at Lincoln Center.¬† And then IвАЩm just beginning talks about doing an opera for Neil Gaiman, which is really awesome and terrifying and fun…
AL: That sounds amazing.  Any other recording plans?
JB:¬† IвАЩve got two or two and a half records in my head ready to record.¬† IвАЩve got this ambient record and¬† IвАЩve got this digital string quartet thing that IвАЩm going to try out with that Why? Music thing. And then I have more kind of a more poppy record in my head I want to record.¬† So IвАЩve got all the music I can possibly handle in my brain at the moment.¬† I just need to find the time and record it.
AL: Well, it sounds like a lot on your plate.
JB:¬† [laughs] Yeah, itвАЩs crazy. I know where IвАЩm going to be every day until the end of March I think.¬† So yeah I wonвАЩt be recording anytime soon.¬† I think after that I may slow it down a little bitвА¶ well see.

South Africa has pipped six other countries to be crowned the world's dream destination.
The crown - conferred by travel and lifestyle social networking community WAYN.com (Where Are You Now?) - confirms the African country as the perfect getaway, whether for group tours or family holidays.
Website organisers compiled the shortlist, which also included Indonesia, Fiji, Dubai, India, Brazil and Turkey.
Some 78,000 votes were counted for all seven of the destinations overall from WAYN members around the world, with 15,300 voting for South Africa.
South Africa's tourism trump cards include sumptuous Durban beaches, Cape Town with its magnificent Table Mountain backdrop, the Winelands region and Kruger National Park, home to the "Big Five", including lions, elephant and rhinos.
WAYN co-founder Jerome Touze told News 24 the competition has reinforced Africa's "immense popularity" as a tourist destination.
He added: "The activity we are seeing correlates with the recent announcement by president Jaco Zuma that the amount of foreign visitors to South Africa has grown by 300%."

I made this top out of a nice flowing Rayon, that frays very easy, but hangs beautifully. The pattern calls for a full lining, which is basically the top facing with the body part attached. I did not make a full lining, as she thought she would be too hot. Instead, I added a piece of spandex to the front lining, so that is would sit nicely under the bust line.
I would recommend that if you are making the full lining, that you make and fit the lining first, and consider using a stretch lining for the lower half of the lining.
This top is rated as Easy, yet it is fully lined, has pleats and tucks, and integrated pockets in View A & B. I would only consider it easy for someone with some sewing experience, or an advanced beginner that has someone to ask questions of. Additionally, a couple of the notches do not line up.
Oct 20, 2013, 01.13 PMby Oksana Starzhynska
Looks nice and the pattern is universal – I like it especially with a vest. Nice fabric; the sleeves shape the shoulder's line very well.

Thanks; putting on the sleeves were her request, and she found the fabric in my stash.

Reviews for Vancouver to New York City (YVR-LGA)
"Worth trying to get to NYC and Times Square"
Flight from Vancouver to New York City
- Airline:
- American
- Round Trip
- Number of Stops:
- 1 stop in Dallas, Texas
- Date of Flight:
- May 2010
- Seat Class:
- economy
Arrival was easy but 3 hours before hand means getting to airport when no one is around - our flight left at 8.40a.m. Good to travel with buddies for safety.
Take food as none supplied but free tea, coffee, pop, juice or water. Check out Tim Horton's or other for food and nourishment before boarding.
Once at Dallas Fort Worth remember which terminal youo're leaving from - can take time to get to other side of airport but nice to take skyrail connection.
Airline staff on grounds as well as on plane quite friendly and pilot on return flight very easy to understand over loudspeaker. I like that they don't disturb you unless its really important (that's what the Pilot offered).
Even tho I checked my one piece of luggage and actually put it on the ramp, the one piece of luggage got lost between leaving New York LAG, and arrival in Vancouver, must have been the I love New York stickers that I carefully placed on it for identification! Luggage showed up and was delivered back home within 48 hours, but luggage in disrepair so have no idea where it travelled to without me! Except for the stickers no longer being on the front, all was intact inside so that was nice.
Wishing there was just a little more space between the aile seat and the middle of the plane - really hate getting my elbow knocked each time the stewards travel down the aile with the trolley.
Also, if you haven't flown lately, no one takes cash now so one has to pay by debit or credit card if you're buying liquor etc.
Lastly I hurt my head on return journey as I was planning to sit in centre seat, and before I sat down the movie monitor came down from the overhead cabins and so I banged my head unexpectantly...so if you are tall (I am 5'10") beware of such monitors falling from the overhead cabins. I could have used some assistance from staff at the time, but everyone was still boarding!
Check in was quite painless except on return the person I travelled with had to pay more for second piece of luggage.
I would fly American Airlines again but would likely check additional costs involved regarding costs for luggage checkin and later flight times so I didn't have to arrive before the airport was totally open.

i only have like 85 mounts...
*hides in a corner* |
I'm on 188 can i hide in the corner with you ? lol
Ohhhhh i call that one the dirty sparkle pony (sparkle pony being the celestial steed)
No, because you have 103 moar mounts :( |
In before possible thread deletion. The reason I still ride around on my Black Proto Drake when flying, and original Bear Mount when riding. /exclusive club |
Someone else took the time to make this list so i thought i'd put it here for any mount collectors on Nagrand that are maybe a little unsure about what reps to go after first.
The Thundering August Cloud Serpent from the August Celestials will probably take a while, since you only working on AC rep after Golden Lotus, AND you need exalted Order of Cloud Serpents to ride it >< 3,000g, or 2,400g after Guild+Exalted discount. Speaking of Golden Lotus, the quest chain gets you a fair bit of rep and there are a few dailies. 3 crane mounts @ 3k a pop / 2.4k discount. The other 3 cloud serpent mounts are from OotCS exalted. One you get for free, and the other 2 you buy iirc. These dailies aren't too long. They have an extra daily for cook/archaeology/fishing/first aid, so make sure you have those trained up. 3k or 2.4 with discounts each. Lorewalkers disc/cloud will be long, there aren't as many dailies with this one. Its a cheapie 500g mount though. 5 water striders @ 5k a pop (4k after discount) for Anglers, these seem to be a slower rep grind through dailies too >< Shado-pan should be decently quick, some quests and decent dailies, 3x 3k (2.4k) tigers. Tillers get you 3 goats at 500g, 1500g and 3k. There are a few dailies so it should be one of the quicker ones. 10k (8k) for the exalted Klaxxi scorpion Then theres the 120 (108k) yak and 2x 3k (2700g) yaks at any point when you reach Kun Lai Summit. Then on top of that there is the JC crafted BOE panthers and engineering rockets which are also BOE, the panthers look to have 20k worth of vendor mats with a few bits and pieces added so maybe 30k total pet mount however the two rockets have 60k worth of vendor mats + some other bits and pieces so maybe 70k each. |

text: 000 FXUS65 KTFX 252346 AFDTFX AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREAT FALLS MT 445 PM MST Sun Jan 25 2015 Aviation Section Updated .DISCUSSION... Tonight through Tuesday...Upper level ridge over the interior western US will continue to shift sightly east into the Northern Rockies and MT over the next several days, bringing unseasonably mild and continued dry conditions to the region. At the surface, low pressure currently located in northern SK will move off to the east tonight, allowing the pressure gradient across north-central MT to relax some and winds to decrease, though breezy afternoon winds are still likely over the plains Mon and Tues. Until the pressure gradient relaxes later this evening, periods of stronger winds are still possible along the Rocky Mtn Front and recent observations in Judith Basin and Fergus counties also indicate that winds may briefly gust to 55-60 mph there, so have added these locations to the High Wind Warning, in effect through 11 pm this evening. Warming aloft reaches its maximum on Monday and temperatures will warm a few degrees further from today`s much above normal values with record high temps likely at many locations. Moisture/clouds at 15000-20000 ft MSL are the only potential limiting factor for Monday temperatures and clouds in this layer are forecast to be less thick/extensive than were present today. Hoenisch Tuesday night through Sunday...The main message is the GFS and ECMWF are on the same page in going with drier and not as cool conditions later in the week. Tuesday night moisture associated with a weather disturbance aloft moving from the Great Basin to the central Rocky Mountains will bring a chance of snow to mainly far southwest Montana. Otherwise an upper ridge upstream of Montana will bring mostly dry conditions. Have lowered the inherited chances of precipitation such that there is generally only a slight chance of snow showers over the mountains. However would not be surprised if the entire forecast area is dry from Wednesday night through Sunday. Models are on the same page in bringing a colder airmass into the forecast area Wednesday. But this will only bring high temperatures close to normal for this time of the year. Then models now agree in warming temperatures over the weekend. Have started the trend of going with warmer high temperatures but there is the potential for high temperatures to be much warmer than this latest forecast. Blank && .AVIATION... UPDATED 2345Z. VFR conditions will prevail over the region through the period. Widespread mid/high level cloudiness will affect the region through the evening hours...but clouds should generally be on the decrease after about 04z or so. Expect breezy winds to continue over North Central MT thru the evening hours as well. Overall a nice VFR day is expected for much of the region on Monday. Brusda && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

ST. LOUIS -- Save-A-Lot here, an extreme low-price food retailer, is picking up the pace. Helping to drive its growth going forward is Deal$ -- Nothing Over A Dollar. It's a dollar-price-point general merchandise format that Supervalu, the Minneapolis-based parent of Save-A-Lot, acquired in 2002 when it had 45 stores. Supervalu immediately began testing Deal$ by incorporating some of its general merchandise into its limited-assortment Save-A-Lot food stores. By the fourth quarter of fiscal ...

Applied Voice Technology Releases Major Upgrade of PhoneXpress, Its Voice and Call Processing System for Small to Mid-Sized Organizations.
KIRKLAND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 3, 1996--Applied Voice Technology (NASDAQ: AVTC), the leading provider of LAN-based computer telephony systems, today began distributing Release 4.0 of its PhoneXpress(R) voice and call processing system.Release 4.0 is a major new version of PhoneXpress, a product that provides full-featured automated attendant and voice mail functions for small to mid-sized organizations.
Chief among the new features are Live Reply(TM), which enables users to place a call to the sender of a message by pressing a touch-tone key; ANI/Caller ID Compatibility, which provides automatic identification of the calling party's number (ANI) as part of a message; Speech Recognition, which enables users to select menu options over the telephone by speaking the appropriate word or term into the receiver; and Fax Tone Detection, a cost-saving feature that eliminates the need for a dedicated fax line.
"PhoneXpress continues to offer the best possible price/performance ratio in voice messaging systems," said Richard J. LaPorte, CEO of AVT. "PhoneXpress is a key element in our commitment to deliver a broad product line that addresses all segments of the market including small, medium and large organizations. Moreover, PhoneXpress delivers many of the features found in our most advanced products."
"The flexibility, configurability and enhanced features of this new release keep PhoneXpress 4.0 ahead of its competitors," said Robert Simpson, president of Advanced Call Processing, an AVT reseller in San Diego. "In addition, PhoneXpress gives users an easy upgrade path to AVT's CTI (computer telephone integration) systems that include capabilities such as unified messaging and interactive voice response."
New Features of PhoneXpress Release 4.0
PhoneXpress Release 4.0 offers a host of new features for more effective call handling and message management. These include:
ANI/DNIS Compatibility. Where automatic number identification (ANI), or Caller ID, is available, PhoneXpress provides that information as part of the message envelope information. Dialed Number Identification Service (DNIS) information is used for call routing applications. For example, callers can be automatically routed to specific departments based on the DNIS information.
Live Reply(TM). AVT's Live Reply feature allows users to respond to a voice message in "real time." With Live Reply, users can listen to a message and press one key to transfer directly to the person who left the message.
Registered Mail(TM). PhoneXpress 4.0 enables users to request an automatic "return receipt" when sending a message. When the recipient accesses the message, PhoneXpress Release 4.0 notifies the sender that the message has been received.
Multiple Personal Greetings. Users can easily set up one greeting for busy conditions and a second greeting for all other conditions. With this feature, callers can determine whether the called party is momentarily unavailable because of a phone call, or is actually away from the office.
Speech Recognition. PhoneXpress enables subscribers to select menu options over the telephone by speaking the appropriate word or term into the receiver, or by using the telephone keypad. Speech recognition is a major benefit to international markets, which are the primary users of rotary dial telephones.
Fax Tone Detection. PhoneXpress uses Fax Tone Detection to eliminate the need for a dedicated fax line. When PhoneXpress detects a fax tone, it automatically routes the fax to a fax machine.
Other new features include: Ready, Set, Go!(TM) which provides an automatic subscriber tutorial that guides new users through system setup; Speed and Volume Control, which enables users to increase or decrease the speed or volume of any message; and QuickConnect(TM), which enables callers to transfer directly to a subscriber extension from the company directory with one key.
PhoneXpress Release 4.0 marks AVT's second major product upgrade this year. AVT recently began worldwide distribution of CallXpress3 Release 4.0, a major new version of its flagship product. CallXpress3(R) includes the new features of PhoneXpress as well as advanced computer telephony functions such as unified messaging, interactive voice response and call management.
Release 4.0 of PhoneXpress is available through AVT's channel of over 400 resellers. For more information, contact Applied Voice Technology at 206/820-6000, by fax at 206/820-4040, or by e-mail at email@example.com.
Applied Voice Technology Inc. develops, manufactures, markets and supports a broad line of open systems-based computer telephony products, including advanced CTI (computer telephone integration) software, basic call answering systems and voice messaging systems. CTI encompasses a wide range of products that unite the two most essential business instruments -- personal computers and telephones. A $3.5 billion industry, the CTI market is one of the fastest growing technology sectors. Founded in 1982, AVT is publicly traded under the symbol "AVTC" on the NASDAQ national market. -0-

After last week's combo of big titles like Shadows of the Damned and FEAR 3, it looks like gaming is entering its annual summer drought of retail releases. There are still promising smaller games like Catherine, El Shaddai, and Earth Defense Force coming out, but the retail release schedule doesn't really heat up until Madden 12 at the end of August. Fortunately Microsoft's fourth annual Summer of Arcade is headed to Xbox Live to energize the next couple months, and we now have the full release schedule for all five games.
July 20
Price: 1200 Microsoft Points
First up is Bastion, an action-RPG with anime-inspired visuals that turned many heads at E3. Will it start things off with a bang? Preview
July 27
From Dust
Price: 1200 Microsoft Points
We've been enamored with From Dust aka Project Dust for some time now, so we're hoping this special distinction will convince the rest of the gaming public how right we are. Preview
August 3
Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet
Price: 1200 Microsoft Points
This one looks to fall in the Braid/Limbo category of XBLA titles, at least visually, though can it hook us as well? With lovely 2D visuals and a very unique aesthetic, we expect big things. Preview
August 10
Fruit Ninja Kinect
Price: 800 Microsoft Points
There had to be a Kinect game in here somewhere. Though Fruit Ninja can be pretty addicting on phones, can the simple slicing motion be just as engrossing on a TV screen?
August 17
Toy Soldiers: Cold War
Price: 1200 Microsoft Points
The promotion ends with a sequel to last year's surprise hit Toy Soldiers. With a cute take on warfare and adding some much needed action to the Tower Defense genre, the original was a great time. Can the sequel measure up?
Lastly, if you purchase all those games, you get a free copy of XBLA title Crimson Alliance when it's released September 7. Previous years have offered straight up MS points as a bonus, but a free game is nothing to sneeze at.

June 27, 2013
By Taylor Ronan, Mizzou strategic communications assistant
Throwback Thursday: The Mizzou Tigers entered the annual National Duals Tournament as underdogs. They started off the event finals facing the fourth-ranked squad of Ohio State. After dominating the Buckeyes, 28-6, the Tigers then faced rival Oklahoma State and suffered a setback, falling 22-9. After the loss the Tigers were set to face perennial powerhouse and second-ranked Iowa, which has been a staple in college wrestling ever since the program began.
Alan Waters started off the dual with an upset over the nation's top-ranked 125-pounder Matt McDonough, which set the tone for the dual. Even though the Tigers had to forfeit at 133 pounds, the Tigers were still very much in the dual against the second-ranked Hawkeyes. Then came junior Kyle Bradley's major upset over then No. 1 Derek St. John at 157 pounds. The Tigers had the momentum to make program history.
Going into the 184-pound bout, Mizzou was down by seven points, but had three of the best wrestlers in their respective weight classes going. Mike Larson started off the rally with a decision, which put Mizzou four points back from the Hawkeyes. Next, senior Brent Haynes followed suit by winning a 1-0 decision over Nathan Burak. Finally, it was Dom Bradley's turn. With history on the line, Bradley understood what he had to do: if Bradley won, Mizzou would win the dual. As he did all season, Bradley performed like an elite athlete under pressure. He had a huge double overtime victory to win the match, but also win the dual. The win marked the first time in program history that the Tigers beat the Iowa Hawkeyes.

The Best of Resort 2014: Accessories Edition
The Resort 2014 collections certainly warrant a closer look, right down to the very last detail. But it's not just the never-ending supply of lightweight fabrics and vacation-ready pieces that make these collections ripe for Summer styling; the shoes, the bags, and the glittering jewels do the bulk of the statement-making.
Ombré colorways provide new meaning to bright palettes, floral-embroidered tapestry bags double as chic beach totes, already-sexy pointy-toe pumps are transformed with even sexier cutouts, and modified takes on the evening clutch aren't limited to graphic motifs and raffia finishes.

In "Storage Wars: Texas," A&E's top-rated non-fiction franchise heads to the Lone Star state to follow teams of bidders on their quest for auction gold.
The series returns for a second season with brand-new buys, all-new finds, and a few new faces. In season two, "The Rangers" Ricky and Bubba aim to expand their franchise across the great state of Texas. New buyer Jenny Grumbles enters the fray using her southern wits to revive old furniture for massive payouts. Vic "The Outsider" tries to destroy his competition by turning Bubba against Ricky. And Dr. Moe Prigoff looks to his old friend Mary Padian to save him from his newfound hoarding problem. Mannequins to motorcycles, swords to solar panels - these buyers are takin' care of bid-ness.
"Storage Wars: Texas" is produced by Original Productions, a FremantleMedia Company for A&E Network. Executive producers are Thom Beers and Philip D. Segal. Jeff Conroy is co-executive producer and Steve Robillard is series producer. A&E executive producers are David McKillop, Elaine Frontain Bryant and Fred Grinstein.
When storage units are abandoned in the great state of Texas, the treasures within are put up for auction." That opening narration from Storage Wars Texas sets up the real drama of the show: the battle between a colorful cast of characters to get the greatest return on their investment as they buy the contents of these abandoned storage units. The catch? They only get 5 minutes to inspect the contents and can only see what's visible from the opened storage unit door; they can't sort through it. This unpredictability - combined with the personalities - make for some of the greatest nail biting moments on TV!
Premiere Date : Dec 17, 2013
The auction hasn't even begun in the east Texas town of Henderson before a fight breaks out among the buyers. After the smoke clears, Ricky takes a couple of rounds while Kenny gets taken to the bank. Vic and his doppelganger Sonny Monday get a shot in the arm while Jenny arrives on four wheels--and could leave driving two. However the buyers arrive in Henderson, some of them will leave worse for wear--and others will prove themselves bad to the bone.

Step 6: Using the door panel clip tool (or putty knife), pry and remove the interior door panel from the door frame.
By sliding the tool between the door panel and the frame, slide along until you feel a retaining pin. When you do, pry outward to "pop" it free. Work your way around the door in the same fashion.
Step 7: Pry and remove the trim panel near the corner of the rear window.
Step 8: You can now pull the interior door panel from the vehicle.
Step 9: To reattach the interior door panel, move it into position, and with a FIRM strike near each retaining pin, "snap" them all into place.
Step 10: Reattach the trim panels near the window and interior door handle.
Step 11: Tighten the Phillips screw inside the interior door panel.
Step 12: Tighten the 10mm bolts (2).
Step 13: Reattach the trim panel to the arm rest.
