Thoughts on my plan, thanks
Hey everyone,
After a lot of thought and planning I have decided to open a part time catering/vending business which may one day turn into a full time business. I'd like to run my thoughts and idea's by some of you seasoned pros's if I could. I live in an area that I have very little BBQ catering/vending businesses to compete with and no BBQ restaurants. I BBQ all the time and compete on the KCBS Circuit several time a year. I have checked into a catering/vending trailer and can buy a new 7'x16' trailer with side 3'x6' and back 3'x4' vending windows, tandem axle, 18' base aluminum cabinets, 11' upper aluminum cabinets and many other bells and whistles with my logo's put on all sides of the trailer complete for $10,500. I called my attorney and he said to figure $500 to start an LLC. The additional fees for getting legal with the HD and county will cost me another $400-$600. My insurance man wants to move my pick up truck over to a business policy along with the trailer and liability & property damage coverage will cost another $1000 per year ( of which I already pay $650 for the truck so $350 really ). I figure I'll spend another $3000 in misc supplies like refrigerator, hot dog steamer, small utensils,storage containers and such... I figure I'll have about a $15,000 investment above things that I already have. My pit has the capacity to cook 24 butts or 5 briskets and 12 butts to give you an idea what size pit I will be using. In 2010 I plan to set up at one of a few locations in or around town that I have access to on Saturdays and Sundays for a minimum of six weekends where I would hope to sell 100 -150 meals per day at a cost of $7-$8 for a pulled pork sammy with two sides. I would also like to cater a minimum of 6-8 gigs for 50-75 people per event. I plan on offering pulled pork, brisket, chicken, ribs, hot dogs and maybe some sausages to start out with, My thought process is that this would give me a good idea of how much I want to do this and if I love it as much as I believe I will then my next step in probably 2011 would be to add an Ol' Hickory Pit to be able to increase the amount I can sell along with being able to get more sleep at night instead of watching a temp gauge and then trying to vend or cater the next day. Thinking a few years ahead I would like to maybe have a business location with a headquarters for the catering business and also have a BBQ Take Out of sorts. The next thoughts I have is that i have an 8 year old son and a 6 year old daughter and I may not want to spend every weekend gone catering/vending and never have time for my kids, but also I think maybe I could make a good business of this give up my full time job as an auto tech and a $30-40k per year income and have even more time to spend with them. I should also add that I am burnt out on the auto repair industry and after 23 years of it I want out. So I figure that if I spend this $15,000 and do this and find out I hate it then I have a really nice enclosed kitch to take to competitions and I only spent half the money most people blow on a car only to decide later they did not need it and it is only worth half. What do you all think? I could use some advice and wisdom. Thanks Ruben

I would go for it if I could afford it and my health was better. I used to work for a Lg Traveling Carnival as the Midway Super. I was in charge of all the Rides and help. We had a guy that traveled with us with a Q stand. and most spots he always had a line. some spots better then others. so he told me it balanced out. People always have to eat. Give them good Q for there money and they'll be back and tell there friends....

As a suggestion.....before you spend any money....talk to the Health
Department and find out what all the laws and requirements are for where you live. You don't want to buy something and find out that it wont pass inspection from the Health Department....and then you have to spend more money buying the right thing. The best of luck to you and your business dreams.

I have talked with the HD already have the forms to turn back in, already have the trailer specs nailed down. I just have to get clearance from the HD to order the trailer. They say it will take 6-8 weeks to build the trailer, then I have to put the sinks and water tanks in it, I elected to do this as it was cheaper and I can do it no problems. I feel like I hace dotted all I's and crossed all T's and figured I would run my plans by people with experience. My business plan I came up with has me pretty much paying for the investment in the first year, but not making a profit and that is good with me.

I am not in the business yet...soon...??, but want to wish you the best of luck.
I like the sounds of your planning. As for the kids, could you take them with you and have little helpers to break in to the "business" too? Not all the time, mind you, but some of the weekends... Justa thought. Keep us posted, bro.

refrigeration - need a commercail NSF fridge (min of $1k) and maybe freezer or is that in your trailer build. Don't think an HD will pass a trailer without this. Steel tables for counters? Do you know there's a 6" requirement for floor clearance on all storage? And the list goes on. Are you putting in AC? If so your power requirement went up. What type of generator are you using. I expect you'll have a need for at least 30 amp service and 50 if you do air. How about hot water heater and sinks. Need 4 sinks and need to supply the HD with the size of the sinks so they can calculate the size of the water heater. If using real restaurant 3 tub sinks will probably ned at least a 10 gallon water heater.
You say you have all the specs for the HD but you may want to revisit this before ordering a trailer. If you supplied a site plan with all the specs on fridge, water heater, sinks, etc and got an OK then you can ignore this. Otherwise you probably need to revisit. Plumbing system - did you include a mop sink? How about air breaks, etc? The specs are endless and you need to get htem to the builder before you start or it's a redo on plumbing. Water tanks - usually grey is 50% bigger then fresh.

One of the biggest stumbling blocks for me, getting into this whole "writing a book" thing, had been actually sitting down and doing it. It wasn't a matter of writer's block for me, or laziness, or ADHD. (Okay, maybe sometimes it was a combo of the last two.) Some days, I just couldn't seem to get into the groove. Reading "The Journey from the Center to the Page" (thanks, Samer!) has been helpful, but I recently discovered an activity that has upped my productivity significantly: tandem writing sessions!
My cousin Cheryl down in DC is writing a novel, and found it really hard to get big chunks of work done, too. She said that she used to do this with a friend of hers, and would I be interested? I'll give anything a whirl once. Here's how it works:
Wash, rinse, repeat!
The accountability is what's been the most helpful part of this. Sure, I can make a "meeting" with myself in my iCal to get work done, but knowing that I have to call someone, have a plan and execute itgives me that much more inspiration to get tough chunks of the book worked out. Also, working in tandem with someone who's not in the same room doesn't offer up the temptation to just sit there and chat for the whole hour.
All-in-all, a resounding Zandt Family Success Story, and highly recommended to others.
GREAT idea! Have tried it in person a few times and resisted chatting by creating pledges (i.e. "I pledge to go the bathroom only after 20 minutes of continous writing without talking.) Not being together in person might reduce the need.
National Novel-Writing Month, http://www.nanowrimo.org, which is great too 'cause you can eyeball your own and each other's word counts graphed on your profiles, and being in a buzzing cloud of other people facing writing challenges is fabulous.
Great idea to have a writing partner. I'm writing a book or rather co-writing a book with Allison Fine. I don't think I'd like the solitary writer experience – I like collaborating too much – and the bonus that it keeps us on track.

Long night with death for student climber

Seattle Times staff reporters
As darkness descended over the North Cascades Sunday, Janel Fox faced a night shivering in the rain below a gnarled granite ridge, huddled not far from the bodies of her climbing instructors.
The 28-year-old mountaineering student from Seattle had hiked into Boston Basin as the least-experienced of six mountaineers, and one of two students hoping to summit the 8,120-foot Sharkfin Tower to complete a basic climbing class from The Mountaineers, the Northwest's most storied climbing organization.
By early Sunday evening, everything had unraveled.
Fox's two trip leaders were dead, killed by a falling rock the size of a refrigerator. The only other uninjured survivor, Michael Hannam of Olympia, was racing down a snowfield to get help. And Fox, the rookie, was left holding two seriously injured climbers — one fading in and out of consciousness, and the other so wounded he later died in Fox's arms.
"Janel was amazing," said Pat Timson, a guide for a different group, Alpine Ascents International, who was the first to arrive at the accident scene in the North Cascades National Park Sunday evening.
"She had her moments of falling apart. But she held those guys and took care of them. And then she spent the night freezing her butt off, sitting on a foam pad in the snow with a sleeping bag pulled over her."
The worst accident in the 99-year history of The Mountaineers finally ended yesterday, when a helicopter dropped Fox and Hannam in Marblemount, Skagit County, carried the injured climbing student, Wayne McCourt of Tacoma, to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, and took the bodies of the three dead to a morgue.
But it may be days or weeks before the National Park Service, Skagit County officials and members of The Mountaineers can determine the precise chain of events in the first multiple climbing fatality in the national park since the 1980s.
"We've never, ever had anything like this," said Steve Costie, executive director of The Mountaineers.
The dead were identified yesterday as Johanna Backus, 61, of Tacoma, a 19-year member of the Tacoma branch of the Mountaineers; Mark Harrison of Bellevue, a former Marine and a climbing instructor known for being fun and loud; and John Augenstein, 42, of Seattle, who had joined the weekend climb just to help out.
McCourt suffered head injuries and was listed in satisfactory condition at Harborview.
The accident began to unfold about 4 p.m. Sunday, when the climbers, all members of The Mountaineers, were retreating from a failed attempt to reach the top of Sharkfin, a knob at the head of the Quien Sabe Glacier.
Backus, who had been to the top of Sharkfin before, was leading the group with help from Harrison and Augenstein.
The trip was part of The Mountaineers' basic climbing course, which draws 300 to 400 people a year. But it's not easy. The route crosses a snowfield and a glacier with crevasses.
"Everyone had a lot of training," Costie said. Especially Backus. "You talk about nail-down-all-the-details — she wasn't going to be frivolous out there in the backcountry. You can really trust her."
But while descending through a gully, Backus was struck by a falling rock. The rest of the group helped her to a lower point. They were re-rigging ropes when a larger rock fell and hit them, said Tim Manns, spokesman for North Cascades National Park.
It's not clear what knocked the rocks free, said Kelly Bush, lead climbing ranger for the national park.
"As rare as these kind of accidents are, there is always loose rock in those gullies, so it's always a possibility," Manns said.
Officials said they believe Backus and Harrison died instantly. Augenstein and McCourt were both badly injured.
The climbers had set up camp below, in Boston Basin. So they were carrying only small packs with little overnight gear. Hannam sprinted down the glacier to the campground for help, finding Timson, who had been preparing to guide his own group into the mountains.
Timson sent his group to contact authorities, and then immediately climbed up to Fox. Fifteen minutes later, Augenstein died.
By 10 p.m., Hannam had returned with more gear, and rigged a series of tarps to protect McCourt.
Fog and rain prevented helicopters from reaching the climbers immediately. But climbing rangers had arrived by 6:45 a.m.
"They were really cold, shivering, and in need of something warm," said ranger Alex Brun. "It was a long night, but they made it."
Backus, a registered nurse, organized everything from climbs to snowshoe outings for The Mountaineers, and founded a group that takes at-risk kids into the woods.
"She was very safe, very sensible and never let good judgment get swayed by desire," said Helen Engle of the Tacoma Mountaineers.
Harrison, who friends say performed hostage rescues when he was a Marine, was remembered as a strong climber who led backcountry ski trips and worked with Backus' group for kids.
"He was a ton of fun," recalled Jim Farris, a friend who had often climbed with him.
Augenstein, friends said, initially came off as a quiet man, probably because he was hard of hearing. But he "was a very warm and funny guy," said friend Ted Baughman, who had gone on a climbing trip to Colorado with Augenstein.
The second-worst accident for The Mountaineers was a two-person fatality on Mount Rainier in the late 1960s.
Recently, however, the club has experienced an unusual string of fatal accidents: a climbing-trip leader died near the base of Lundin Peak near Snoqualmie Pass in 1997; another climber died in the same area on Kendall Peak in 1999 after sliding down a snow-covered slope; and a student on a basic-climbing-class trip in 2001 died after falling on Guye Peak while traversing a section where people travel without ropes.

Window to the Brain Shows Dystrophic Neurites Shrinking
Quick Links
Combining their individual fortés, the laboratories of Dave Holtzman at Washington University, St. Louis, and Brian Bacskai and Brad Hyman at Massachusetts General Hospital, Charlestown, treat us to the sight of neurons being treated before our eyes. In a study published online January 20, 2005, in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, fluorescently labeled dystrophic neurites in the cortex of PDAPP mice appear to shrink or disappear just days after Aβ antibodies are applied to the cortical surface.
For several years, Bacskai and Hyman have been wowing people with their "windows on the brain," openings in the skulls of mice through which they apply drugs to the cortex and then observe the results with two-photon microscopy. They have already visualized how plaques grow in AD transgenic mice, and have shown that amyloid plaques are cleared days after the application of Aβ antibodies to the cortical surface (Bacskai et al., 2001; Bacskai et al., 2002). Bacskai and Hyman have also assessed neuritic pathology in PDAPP mice, finding postmortem evidence that the Aβ antibodies can rapidly reduce neuritic pathology (Lombardo et al., 2003), though the researchers were unable to visualize the neurites through the windows.
Enter the glowing yellow mouse from Holtzman's lab. Holtzman and colleagues have crossed PDAPP mice with transgenic mice that express yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) throughout the neuronal cytosol, reaching into distal neurite tips. With these mice, the researchers have found evidence that neuritic dystrophy is much more extensive than was previously thought (Brendza et al., 2003).
Neurite stakeout detects disappearing pathology
The image on the left shows yellow fluorescent protein (YFP)-labeled neurites—imaged through a cranial window with two-photon microscopy—in a living PDAPP;thy-1:YFP double-transgenic mouse. Enlarged, bulbous, dystrophic neurites surrounding an amyloid plaque (not visualized in this image) can be seen. On the right, the same plaque three days after the cortical surface was treated with 10D5 anti-Aβ antibody. There is a reduction in YFP-labeled dystrophic neurites, and the arrows show two dystrophic areas that are present at day 0 and absent at day 3. (Scale bar = 10μm) [images courtesy of Bob Brendza, Washington University]
Bob Brendza in Holtzman's lab led the current collaboration, which also included Bill Klunk and Chet Mathis at the University of Pittsburgh, and Steve Paul and Kelly Bales at Eli Lilly. First, the researchers just watched, and noted that the numbers of dystrophic neurites surrounding individual plaques did not change over a period of three days. Similarly, individual dystrophic neurites under scrutiny were stable during this period. However, when they applied 10D5 Aβ antibodies to the cortical surface, the researchers observed significant morphological changes within only three days. They witnessed a substantial reduction, or disappearance altogether, of smaller dystrophic neurites, as well as the reduction or elimination of dystrophic regions on otherwise normal-looking dendrites or axons. Some of these neurites were followed for up to a week, with no return of the pathology. At the same time, however, larger dystrophic neurites appeared impervious to the antibody treatment, leading the authors to suggest that additional doses, or time, might be needed to get a more widespread benefit.
This method did not allow the researchers to quantify changes in amyloid burden. In a separate series of experiments, they found that the passive immunization reduced total Aβ and thioflavin S-positive plaques but had no effect on levels of PBS-soluble Aβ. This, Brendza and colleagues suggest, would lead to the conclusion that fibrillar Aβ is what the antibodies are targeting.
"Based on these data, it appears that axonal and dendritic structural damage associated with amyloid deposits is not permanent and is, at least in part, reversible over a relatively short time frame. Further, the specificity of the antibody shows that Aβ itself causes these reversible structural changes," write the authors. —Hakon Heimer
Q&A with Bob Brendza.
Q: How do your results extend those of your collaborators at MGH, who looked at effects on neurites following cortical administration of Aβ antibodies about a year and a half ago?
A: The Lombardo et al. paper was a postmortem study. It reported the very important finding that mice receiving antibody treatment had a significant reduction in abnormal neurite geometry that correlated with Aβ clearance. They didn't see much of a change in neuritic dystrophy when assessing it with APP immunoreactivity. YFP expression is a very sensitive marker for assessing neuritic dystrophy and is actually more sensitive than silver or APP staining in detecting dystrophic areas (especially smaller dystrophic swellings). Our 2003 J. Comp. Neurology paper actually compared the different methods. So, the three major differences between our JCI paper and the Lombardo et al. paper was that our study was in vivo, we tracked neuritic dystrophy in individual neuritic plaques, and we used a more sensitive method to monitor neuritic dystrophy and neurite morphology.
The other advantages of using YFP are that YFP requires no exogenous cofactors or substrates to fluoresce and diffuses freely throughout the cytoplasm; thus, it fluorescently labels all neuronal processes including axons, dendrites, and dendritic spines. These features of YFP allow neurites to be easily visualized in live tissue without any potentially disruptive manipulations. Since cytoplasmic YFP labels all neuronal processes indiscriminately, the morphology and dynamics of normal and dystrophic neurites of labeled neurons in PDAPP; YFP double Tg mice can be observed without concerns regarding tissue penetration or alteration of target molecules by the AD pathogenic environment, which are potential problems associated with the use of traditional histological probes.
Comments on News and Primary Papers
"Until the Last Dog(ma) Dies": Some Neuritic Dystrophy Is Reversible by Passive Immunization of PDAPP Mice
A multidisciplinary group has demonstrated that at least some neuritic dystrophy in PDAPP mice is reversible. Holtzman from Wash U, Paul from Lilly, Mathis and Klunk from Pitt, and Bacskai and Hyman from MGH contributed their considerable talent to a new paper in the current issue of The Journal of Clinical Investigation. Using the open skull method and Congo red derivative methoxy-X04 devised by the MGH and Pittsburgh groups, respectively, the team followed with serial imaging the morphology of swollen (dystrophic) neurites surrounding cortical amyloid deposits in the PDAPP mouse. Conventional wisdom would have predicted that these swellings might be permanent, but the new paper describes how passive immunization with anti-Aβ antibodies had a significant effect on partially normalizing the shapes of the processes.The new paper builds on earlier work by the MGH group (Lombardo et al., 2003): The advance of the JCI paper is to study the same plaques serially during life, while the Lombardo paper relied on postmortem analysis. A key novelty is directly demonstrating a significant trend toward normalization of existing dystrophic neurites, i.e., watching the same, flagrantly abnormal neurites partially recover their normal morphology, thereby unequivocally documenting the reversibility of neuritic dystrophy.
This dovetails well with the recent report in Neuron by Oddo and colleagues (see ARF related news story) who showed that amyloid deposits and neuritic antigens were attenuated by active immunization. Janus and colleagues (Janus et al., 2000) demonstrated Aβ-dependent behavioral deficits that were reversible with active immunization, and the Holtzman paper suggests that the same may be true for passive treatment. Together, the papers portend well for the principle that Alzheimer's pathology may be treatable, even after significant dystrophy has developed.
This is important because the most sensitive means of detecting Alzheimer's today remains neuropsychological testing, implying, by definition, the existence of pathology and deficits that one would like to reverse, if possible. Interestingly, a recent PNAS paper (Lu et al., 2005) indicates that iconic memory deficits may predict Alzheimer's even before any important deficit is present or even otherwise detectable. All the usual mice-aren't-men caveats apply, of course, but these papers are very exciting because frontiers have been pushed back both in terms of early diagnosis as well as providing optimism for reversibility of pathology.

The authors used multiphoton microscopy, an elegant technique, to monitor the dynamics of neuritic plaques in living mice. They used the PDAPP;Thy-1:YFP transgenic mouse model, which develops plaque pathology and expresses yellow fluorescent protein in a subset of neurons. Through cranial windows, Aβ deposits were analyzed with injected methoxy-X04, and dystrophic neurites with YFP-induced fluorescence. Over a period of 72 hours, the amyloid-associated neurites remained stable. However, after application of the anti-Aβ antibody 10D5 to the cortical surface, the number and total cross-sectional area of dystrophic neuritis decreased significantly. This clearly demonstrates again the value of passive immunization to reduce extracellular plaque load and the associated neuritic pathology.
Although these results are very promising, novel transgenic mouse models teach us that extracellular amyloid plaques are not a major trigger for the dramatic neuron loss and brain atrophy. On the contrary, amyloid plaques do not correlate with the hippocampal neuron loss in the transgenic models (Schmitz et al., 2004; Casas et al., 2004). In both models, the increased amount of intraneuronal Aβ42 correlates best with the loss of neurons and brain tissue. These models support the idea that neuron loss and atrophy in AD is triggered by intracellular accumulation of Aβ42, and not by extracellular amyloid pathology.
It is very likely that intraneuronal Aβ accumulation leads not only to neuron loss, but also disrupts many neuronal functions, for example, axonal transport. Therefore, it will be very important to learn more about the influence of passive immunization on the potential to reduce intraneuronal Aβ levels as has been shown recently (Oddo et al., 2004). Using a triple-transgenic model (3xTg-AD) that develops plaques and tau lesions, the authors showed that Aβ immunotherapy reduces not only extracellular Aβ plaques, but also intracellular Aβ accumulation, and leads to the clearance of tau hyperphosphorylation.
Convincing evidence that passive immunization is able to rescue neuronal dysfunction and neuron loss is, however, still lacking.

Following our visit to the mission, we headed back to the hotel to pack our gear back into the Terrain. Although we weren't done for the day, our time in the little town of Solvang was at an end. We jumped on the northbound 101, then took Highway 154 towards Los Olivos, making a quick left on Zaca Station Road/Highway 176, also known as the Zaca Station Loop. Zaca Station Road eventually merges into Foxen Canyon Road, but still remains Highway 176. The two-lane road is surrounded by the rolling hills of the vineyards and cow pastures. There are several wineries along this loop. Most are open to the public for sampling and tours. The road leads us to several famous spots like the Fess Parker Winery also seen in the movie :Sideways." We stopped there, at Firestone Vineyard, and lastly at the Tres Hermanas Vineyard & Winery. We picked up a bottle of each winery's most popular wine.
Just after leaving Tres Hermanas, we continued down Foxen Canyon Road and came across a white chapel overlooking the hillside. It sat at the opening gates of the Rancho Sisquoc Winery. Although my nephew was sound asleep in the back seat, we decided to make one last stop just to check it out before we hit the road home.
Whatever roads you choose to follow in the Santa Ynez Valley, you're bound to find more than what you were looking for. That was certainly true on our self-guided journey that led us through Solvang, Los Olivos, Santa Maria, and the Santa Ynez Valley. We discovered the history of its fruitful soil, visited landmarks, and enjoyed the beauty the valley has to offer with entertainment for all ages...and we covered 1070 miles in the new 2010 GMC Terrain averaging an impressive 23 miles per gallon.

Awesome, Joe has been one of my favorite singers for ever. I can listen to Leave your hat on, over and over! There are several videos of him collaborating with other greats like Santana, another of my faves. They may be getting old, much like me, but darn it's still great to see them doing their thing! |
Thanks for posting the link! I bookmarked it. GREAT performance! |
Wish I'd seen. Huey also has done some acting. |
How to Become a Better Singer If you want to know how to become a better singer in just a few days then listen up! There is no magical way to do this, no controversial or little known technique! Singing takes practice and passion and dedication. However, assuming you have these things then there is one little trick that if you have not practiced before will help you sing better in just a few days but is certainly not the whole story. This method is to help you sing more clearly and with better pronunciation. Not only does this make it easier to listen to but it will allow you to achieve clarity of voice and a precision of sound that will set you above other singers. The way to do this is the sing the vowels in the alphabet. Try singing them without a tune for a while and then try putting it to music. If you make sure your vowels are crisp and well formed you will put your mouth and tongue in the right positions for better singing. |

By Intern Sarah in General on Jan 26, 2012
I probably shouldn't appreciate stories about girls punching guys. I mean, it's wrong to commit violence against anyone, right? I shouldn't endorse this sort of thing. But it brings a little warmth to my heart to hear about someone who proves that no matter what their age, size, or level of "femininity," women are definitely capable of defending themselves when they're being attacked or harassed.
This morning as I was watching the news over breakfast, this headline caught my eye: Long Island Girl Punches Man Who Grabs Her At Bus Stop. Apparently, a 13 year-old girl was walking on Morris Avenue on Long Island yesterday when a man in dark clothing came up behind her and grabbed her. He was no match for the middle schooler, however, who punched him and ran to the safety of her Delamere Street bus stop. The link above contains important information for helping to catch the girl's attacker, so if you can help identify him, please call the number listed.
Research has suggested that our perceptions of "stranger danger"—the idea that people we don't know are just waiting around the corner to hurt us or our kids—are way overblown. According to websites like Free Range Kids, there really aren't as many cases of child abduction as we think there are. Some would say that the reason we're so convinced that strangers are dangerous is because the kidnappings and assaults that do happen are so highly publicized (and usually accompanied by warnings of how we should never let our kids out of our sight or they'll be snatched up). Do you agree?
Regardless of how many or how few people are out to get kids, there is one thing that most people tend to forget: a kid that knows how to defend him- or herself is a safer kid (I wouldn't push this girl around on the playground anytime soon). Which skills do you think are important for kids-- and especially girls-- to learn?
[Above photo, ed. note: Do you remember the Strangers and Dangers board game? I played it a lot when I was young, and to this day, I still scream "No!" and run to a library when approached by a stranger. Also, those kids on the box look way stressed. Ooh, babies, it's a wild world. Credit.]

Get LISNews via email! Enter Your Email Address:
I'm doing some research into disaster and emergency planning. One of the sample documents I'm looking at is one of those checklists for bomb threats, which I find amusing because I think we'd be lucky if a person don't panic and run out the building if someone calls with a bomb threat, much less dig out a checklist and work through it. Anyhow, the third item on this particular list is to "notify a co-worker via nonverbal gestures that you are taking a threatening call." Just wondering if any LISNewsterz have ideas for these gestures, because most of the ones I'm thinking of would also be nonverbal indicators that the person I'm talking to is clueless or really annoying, like strangling myself or miming an explosion. Maybe I just need to learn some new nonverbal gestures...
Some days it's all I can do not to give certain people I work with less than generous non verbal gestures.
I was taking pics for the yearbook and was trying to get a picture of the building manager. I finally got one of him after a fire drill. I didn't realise it til I was actually doing up the pics for the staff page, but he had given me a certain non verbal gesture in the picture...Luckily, I was able to crop that out. *g*
You could mouth the words bomb threat.
Or better yet, keep a piece of paper handy and write a message "BOMB THREAT--call 911 on other line" or some such message.
Ooh, there's an idea. The paper would work better than the mouthing, I would think. Who knows what wacky thing it could look like you're saying when you mouth "bomb threat!"Although, again, I think I'll be pleased if I don't just scream and run out the building. :-)
Yeah, those are the kind of gestures I expect around here too :-)
Learn sign (ameslan). Great for communicating on a different channel, instead of voice/hearing.-- Ender, Duke_of_URL
That's a good idea. We had a deaf girl in my grade school classes and I really enjoyed learning sign language. This would be a good refresher/reason to learn.

On this date in 1962, a pre-performance speech by legendary conductor Leonard Bernstein, seen by some as an attack on guest pianist — the almost equally as legendary Glenn Gould — caused quite a stir in the Classical music world. The concert was to feature Gould performing Brahms' "First Piano Concerto," but apparently the pianist and music director (Bernstein) disagreed on how it was to be performed. The New York Philharmonic concert came towards the end of the orchestra's final season at Carnegie Hall.
The disagreement was largely over tempo — Gould felt the composition should be played very slowly. Before the intermission, the orchestra played selections by Carl Nielsen. Fearful that Gould would not even show up (he was notorious for last-minute cancellations), Bernstein had the Philharmonic prepared to play Brahms' First Symphony just in case. Gould showed, but to prepare the audience for the unorthodox performance, Bernstein took to the podium and delivered the controversial introduction/disclaimer/diss. (Bernstein delivered the same speech at a preview performance the night before.)
Don't be frightened. Mr. Gould is here. He will appear in a moment. I'm not, um, as you know, in the habit of speaking on any concert except the Thursday night previews, but a curious situation has arisen, which merits, I think, a word or two. You are about to hear a rather, shall we say, unorthodox performance of the Brahms D Minor Concerto, a performance distinctly different from any I've ever heard, or even dreamt of for that matter, in its remarkably broad tempi and its frequent departures from Brahms' dynamic indications. I cannot say I am in total agreement with Mr. Gould's conception and this raises the interesting question: "What am I doing conducting it?" I'm conducting it because Mr. Gould is so valid and serious an artist that I must take seriously anything he conceives in good faith and his conception is interesting enough so that I feel you should hear it, too.
But the age old question still remains: "In a concerto, who is the boss; the soloist or the conductor?" The answer is, of course, sometimes one, sometimes the other, depending on the people involved. But almost always, the two manage to get together by persuasion or charm or even threats to achieve a unified performance. I have only once before in my life had to submit to a soloist's wholly new and incompatible concept and that was the last time I accompanied Mr. Gould. But, but this time the discrepancies between our views are so great that I feel I must make this small disclaimer. Then why, to repeat the question, am I conducting it? Why do I not make a minor scandal — get a substitute soloist, or let an assistant conduct? Because I am fascinated, glad to have the chance for a new look at this much-played work; Because, what's more, there are moments in Mr. Gould's performance that emerge with astonishing freshness and conviction. Thirdly, because we can all learn something from this extraordinary artist, who is a thinking performer, and finally because there is in music what Dimitri Mitropoulos used to call "the sportive element", that factor of curiosity, adventure, experiment, and I can assure you that it has been an adventure this week collaborating with Mr. Gould on this Brahms concerto and it's in this spirit of adventure that we now present it to you
Many critics wrote about the intro and viewed it as the conductor's way of saying, "If this sucks, it's his fault." And many took Gould to task for his interpretation of the music (though some musicologists later said Gould's version was a correct reading of the material). Gould, for his part, said he enjoyed the performance and liked that it caused some in the audience to boo. Columbia had planned to release a recording of the performance but backed off given the controversy. Bootlegs spread like wildfire and Sony Classical, years later (in 1998), released the recording with Bernstein's remarks in tact. In the liner notes, Gould is quoted as saying, "Soloists and conductors disagree all the time. Why should this be hidden from the public, especially if both parties still give their all?" Bernstein also didn't seem too bothered by the controversy and he never stopped praising Gould's unique talent.
Here's a clip of Bernstein and Gould getting along just fine in 1960, performing Bach's "Piano Concerto No. 1 in D Minor."

On this day in 1989, Pepsi dropped Madonna as a spokesperson after complaints about her "blasphemous" video for the single (also used in the Pepsi commercial campaign) "Like A Prayer." The Vatican condemned the video for its imagery of burning crosses and Madonna kissing a black man, while religious groups called for a boycott of all Pepsi-affiliated products. The soft drink manufacturer caved and cut and run from the Pop princess. But Pepsi gave Madonna a nice parting gift — the company was so eager to get away from the controversy that they let her keep her $5 million (yes, million) advance.
Thirty years earlier, another music-related controversy erupted in the U.K. when the BBC decided that The Coasters' song "Charlie Brown" was not fit for airplay. Was it that the Peanuts comic strip was too controversial? Peppermint Patty's sexuality has always been a topic of debate. Were they afraid the youth of England would all mimic Charlie Brown's sparse curly-Q hairdo, essentially killing off the hair-care product industry? Was Pigpen's personal hygiene deficiency deemed a bad influence?
Nope — the BBC was worried about the song because it contained the word "spitball" and they were fearful kids all over would be inspired to destroy society with saliva-drenched missiles. Unlike Pepsi, the Beeb reversed its decision a couple of weeks later, apparently realizing how ridiculous the "ban" was.
Here are clips relating to both controversies. Watch at your own risk!
On this date in 1949, American musical icon Hank Williams made his debut at the Grand Ole Opry at the age of 25. It was the beginning of a very difficult relationship.
Even though things soured, Williams' Opry debut was a career-defining moment. The singer/songwriter wowed the crowd so much, he was called back for six encores (the encores ultimately had to be halted so the rest of the show could go on).
Williams' reputation for heavy drinking put off the Opry initially, but as his star continued to rise — boosted by the success of "Lovesick Blues" (recorded at the Herzog studio here in CIncinnati) — the Country music institution finally relented and invited him to perform.
Williams continued to make Opry appearances over the next three years, but he was banished in 1952 for his alcohol-related issues. Hank died just a few months later, in January of 1953 at the age of 29.
Over the past eight or so years, Hank Williams' grandson, Hank III, and other supporters have participated in a campaign to have Williams posthumously reinstated to the Grand Ole Opry. CityBeat also lent a hand, promoting the "Reinstate Hank" campaign during a tribute presented by the Cincinnati USA Music Heritage Foundation in honor of Hank's historic recording sessions in Cincinnati (Herzog studios was located where CityBeat and the CMHF headquarters now reside). Check a clip below.
The reinstatement campaign has yet to work and seems to have lost some steam. But click here to learn more about the attempts to right such a ridiculous wrong.
Born This Day: Musical movers and shakers sharing a June 11 birthday include the least hirsute (ironically!) member of ZZ Top, drummer Frank Beard (1949); Soft Rock god with Air Supply, Graham Russell (1950); guitarist/singer of Southern Rock group .38 Special, Donnie Van Zandt (1952); Flaming Lips drummer-turned-guitarist Steven Drozd (1969); and Heartless Bastards singer/guitarist Erika Wennerstrom (1977).
Though she and her band are currently based in Austin, Tex., Wennerstrom grew up in Dayton before relocating to Cincinnati. As Wennerstrom has grown, matured, changed and become more confident, so has her band's music. After releasing her first two albums, Wennerstrom headed to Texas and retooled the band, adding two different musicians also from our area — Jesse Ebaugh and Dave Colvin — who joined Wennerstrom in Austin. Since then, the Bastards' albums The Mountain (a more earthy, less balls-out effort) and this year's Arrow (a great combination of everything the band does well) have continued the trend of each successive HB album drawing the group higher praise and more fans.
A happy 35th b-day to Erika. We miss you here in Cincy. Below, check out an interview and acoustic session recorded for American Songwriter.
On this day in 1967, The Beatles continued work on arguably their best song, "A Day in the Life." After a debate over how to end the track following the huge orchestral build-up (sustained choral vocals were considered, but scrapped), the group decided to simultaneously strike a massive E chord on three pianos and sustain the notes for as long as possible. Adding overdubs (and a contribution from producer George Martin on harmonium), the final resonating notes hang in the air for over 40 seconds on the recording. As the held chords faded on the pianos in the studio, the engineer had to crank the recording level, which picked up some incidental sounds (like a creaking chair and, certainly, something about Paul being dead) from the studio.
That E-major chord that closes the song — and the whole Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album, considered one of the best ever — is widely considered one of the most famous chords in Rock/Pop history. Which means that The Beatles are responsible for the most popular opening chord in modern music — the mysterious G7sus4-ish that kicks off "A Hard Day's Night" — and the most notable final chord with the "A Day in the Life" finale.
Below is audio of BTO guitarist Randy Bachman explaining the "Hard Day's" chord mystery (frustrated guitarists should feel better about their inability to figure it out), followed by today's biggest Pop superstar performing that famed final note from Sgt. Peppers.
Click the jump for "Born This Day" featuring live footage from one of the final Sublime concerts with Bradley Nowell.
On this day in 2003, the Iraq war quagmire began. Depending on where you stand and your perspective of "facts," the war was a) a huge mistake based on fabricated information, b) a nobly-intentioned-attack-turned-Bush-administration-blooper ("Whoops, sorry!"), or c) a perfectly reasonable military operation that spread democracy and made Toby Keith a billionaire.
It is estimated the war has killed well over 100,000 Iraqi civilians and displaced over 2 million. Our government claims that 4,422 Americans have died as a result of Operation Iraqi Freedom (and over 31,000 have been injured).
The South Carolina State Legislature marked the beginning of the war by attacking a Country music trio. State Rep. Catherine Ceips introduced a resolution that commanded the Dixie Chicks to apologize to President Bush for daring to say in front of an audience in London that they were embarrassed to be from the same state (Texas) as W.
Chick Natalie Maines DID apologize a week before, saying she should not have been disrespectful to the Prez. But it apparently didn't matter and the Chicks became another tool used to raise support for the war. In an interview with Tom Brokaw a month later, Bush said that the group members had a right to say what they wanted. But, "I don't really care what the Dixie Chicks said. I want to do what I think is right for the American people." Whoopsie.
Despite Bush being the one proved wrong, no one EVER apologized to the Dixie Chicks, who lost a substantial amount of money due to the ginned-up controversy.
On that same day, Bruce Springsteen played a concert in Australia and dedicated "Land of Hope and Dreams" to "innocent Iraqi civilians." He opened the show with his stunning acoustic version of "Born in the U.S.A.," followed by a cover of Edwin Starr's "War (What Is It Good For)."

On this date in 1987, a Beastie Boys/Run DMC concert in Liverpool, England, turned into a riot and ended with the arrest of Adam "Ad Rock" Horovitz. The pumped-out crowd reportedly began throwing bottles and cans at the group, which the Boys playfully batted back at them. At first. After just a few minutes, things continued to get out of hand and the concert was cancelled for the safety of all involved. At the hotel later that night, Horovitz was arrested because police believed he was responsible for the beer can that struck and injured a female fan.
Horovitz spent the night in jail and, in November, Ad Rock — 21 at the time — was found not guilty of the charges.
Here's an ancient MTV segment featuring the Boys at Spring Break (to give you a sense of the trio's pre-enlightenment personalities around the time of Horovitz's arrest).
Born This Day: Musical movers and shakers sharing a May 30 birthday include legendary Big Band bandleader and clarinetist Benny Goodman (1909); founding bassist for Punk giants Dead Kennedys, Geoffrey Lyall, better known as Klaus Flouride (1949); Jazz Fusion bassist Dann Glenn (1950); on-again/off-again drummer for The Clash, Topper Headon (1955); singer for Swedish Pop duo Roxette ("It Must Have Been Love," "The Look") Marie Fredriksson (1958); drummer and founding member of progressive Canadian Metal greats Voivod, Michel Langevin (1963); Country star Wynonna Judd (1964); Rage Against the Machine/Audioslave guitarist Tom Morello (1964); frontman for Indie Rock icons Pavement, Stephen Malkmus (1966); singer for Brit Pop crew The Charlatans, Tim Burgess (1967); Hip Hop-turned-Pop superstar Cee-Lo Green (1974); singer for Metal band Shadows Fall, Brian Fair (1975); "Freak Folk" poster child Devendra Banhart (1981) and Hip Hop MC Remy Ma (1981).
Remy was born Reminisce Smith and grew up in the Castle Hill Projects in the Bronx. Neighborhood MC Big Pun was an early mentor, putting Remy (then "Remi Martin") on a pair of tracks from his Yeeeah Baby album. It was a bittersweet debut, though; Pun died from a heart attack in 2000 and the album came out two months afterwards. (Big Pun was reportedly 698 pounds when he died.) Another big rapper, Fat Joe, took Remy under his wing and made her a member of Terror Squad. She was featured on the Terror Squad's huge 2004 single "Lean Back," which was a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks that summer. It also earned Remy a Grammy nomination.
Remy's debut solo album, There's Something About Remy: Based on a True Story, dropped on Feb. 7, 2006, the sixth anniversary of Big Pun's death. The album was critically acclaimed but didn't sell very well (Fat Joe and Remy blamed poor promotion and choice of singles). She left Terror Squad in 2007.
As a free agent, Remy reportedly received numerous label offers and even a reported deal for a reality show. She had her second album in the works, as well as the debut of the super-trio 3Sum, featuring fellow MCs Jacki-O and Shawnna, when things went really bad for Remy. She turned herself into police after a shooting outside of a nightclub that wounded a woman who had allegedly tried to rob the rapper. The woman ID'ed Remy as the shooter. In 2008, Remy was convicted of assault, attempted coercion and weapons possession. She was sentenced to eight years in prison. In 2008, she married her fiancee, Hip Hop artist Papoose.
Remy — who also has a young son — lost her appeal last June. The earliest she can be released is Jan. 31, 2015. If she has to serve her whole sentence, she won't be out until March 23, 2016.
Despite her jail stint and the limited material released, Remy Ma remains a big influence on established and up-and-coming female Rap artists.
Here's part of an interview Remy did with StreetHeat about her life in prison.
Today in 1996, one of the greatest, most influential bassists ever, Bernard Edwards of Disco/Funk group Chic, passed away after contracting pneumonia while on tour in Japan.
My personal favorite bass line is Sly Stone's lick on "If You Want Me to Stay," but it's hard to deny the power of Chic's "Good Times," a Disco-era hit that helped lay the groundwork for Hip Hop. Edwards' bass line from the song is considered one of the most sampled pieces of music ever and it has been mimicked almost as often. Songs that wouldn't exist with Edwards' riff include Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust," Hip Hop trailblazers Sugarhill Gang's breakthrough "Rapper's Delight," Blondie's "Rapture," Daft Punk's "Around the World" and Wham!'s "Wham Rap! (Enjoy What You Do)" (hey, they can't all be winners).
R.I.P Bernard Edwards. And thanks for the groove.

When researching Bogart's for the first of these columns, I discovered a place that used to be its side-stream neighbor. Sudsy Malone's, which sat just across the street from Bogart's until 2008, may be a well-known name to older Cincinnatians, but to those of my generation I imagine it's a legend unheard.
Sudsy's, as those who knew it well referred to it, was more than just a bar or music venue. It was a laundromat. A gathering place of locals who fancied having a beer and hearing a tune as their clothes turned over in bubbly cleanliness. And while it was only open for a fraction of the time many of the big venues around here have been, it occupies a deep space in the history of Cincinnati and its local music scene.
Refined searches and several page scrolls through Google turns up hardly anything on the former venue. I finally found a memorial Facebook page that further fascinated me, still only offering a brief and general history but filled with posts by former loyal patrons reminiscing of great times at the bar, offering tales of hilarious happenings along with images, videos and old posters to fill it all in with color.
I wanted to know more in hopes of giving Sudsy's its due place in Cincinnati music history. To understand where it all started and where it went from there, I talked to Janine Walz, a former managing partner who was around during the establishment's heyday.
Sudsy's was originally owned by John Cioffi and opened in 1986. As I understand it, the idea was inspired by similar businesses popping up in the region such as Dirty Dungarees in Columbus. They serve beer, so you can sip some foam while listening to the groan of washers and dryers, but Dungaree's was never quite a bar. They served drinks in more of a refreshment center style. Cioffi's vision for Sudsy's was different.
The decision for the name came from a lot of scrawling and scratching by Cioffi and his family.
"They just had a long list of names that they would write down as they were brainstorming, and then they started crossing names out until it was down to Soapy Tucker's or Sudsy Malone's," Walz says.
Sharp, the highly adored Renaissance man known for his ballet career in
Cincinnati and who sadly just passed away in September, designed the character
logos. Soapy Tucker was a sort of motherly figure, whereas Sudsy Malone was a true
He became the face of the place, with his one-eyed look, suds-filled beer and coin-flipping hand becoming the calling card of the bar's sign.
Upon walking in the front door guests faced a 40-foot bar.
"We would have competitions to see who could slide a mug full of beer the furthest down the bar without spilling it," Walz recalls with a smile.
They had little round cocktail tables covered with dark blue tablecloths and standard bar stools. The ceiling undulated with the movement of fans under which each had a globular light, providing a sort of soft ambiance to the bar.
At the back of the building sat the laundry area, a brightly lit room where the fluorescent lights glinted off dozens of top-of-the-line washers and dryers.
"I remember some of the bands complaining after a while about the laundry room lights because they would glow into the bar and kill the mood for the crowd," Walz says. "We strung up some Christmas lights and would just turn those on instead when bands were on stage at night."
When the place first opened, however, the stage didn't exist. Live music had never even been part of the idea.
"It was only intended to be a laundromat with frosty-mug beer," Walz says of the original plan.
Walz recalls being the second laundry customer when Sudsy's first opened. She worked at the Perkins just up Short Vine, and happened to be John Cioffi's waitress the day he sat down to get food with the liquor agent that was supposed to be approving Sudsy's license.
"When they were finishing lunch he asked me to come a few doors down to talk to him about a job," she says. "I figured it was the same distance from home and might pay better, so I went. Next thing I knew I was hired on as a manager."
In other words, she was there from the start. Walz watched the bar being built, and she knew it when it was just a place for people to wash clothes and have a drink, the crowd rarely exceeding 10 people.
Only months after the place opened, a local band called The Thangs approached the owners with the idea to play music. Essentially, they just wanted a place to gig when nowhere else would let them. After some hesitation, Sudsy's let them do it, and much to their surprise the first show was packed with about 100 people. Sudsy's wasn't expecting this, and they completely sold out of every drop of beer they had stocked at the time.
With such
outrageous success, The Thangs wanted to come back. Before long, music became
the detergent to Sudsy's suds, responsible for consistently bringing in large
crowds. At first they charged a very minimal cover, mostly so they had
something to give the band, and offered a free soft-drink ticket with entry for
additional incentive.
By '87 they were charging a $5 cover, although they would still let people in for free if they had a basket of laundry. This often resulted in washers full of abandoned clothes the next day, as people brought the clothes to get in and then simply forgot about them in the excitement of music and merriment. Over time, Sudsy's developed a massive collection of forsaken threads.
This memory sparked another for Walz: "I remember this guy that would show up about once every year driving a station wagon. He would take the clothes people had left over time and pack every inch of his car, literally. He would do something with them, I think donate them."
As the place continually packed in people like foam to the top of a mug — thanks to the highly praised booking magic of Dan McCabe (Now of MOTR Pub) — problems inevitably occurred that now seem laughable. The carpet in the bar area became so matted and disgusting that it resembled tile, so Walz had it ripped out and replaced with wood. The men's bathroom was a story of its own. Widely known as "Worst Men's Bathroom," Walz said she wouldn't go near it, even almost buying stainless steel sheets to layer on it so she could just hose it down at night.
At one point the fire department came in and completely cleared house, although there wasn't a single flame or wisp of smoke. The building's stated capacity was far under how many people they would pack in, and one night they had to count the crowd back in, one by one. Eventually they completely stopped the music for a period of time to get the building up to code.
Despite its small size, Sudsy's brought in now-major acts that were rising at the time — Beck, Smashing Pumpkins and Red Hot Chili Peppers — while also helping breed local acts like The Afghan Whigs and Over The Rhine. Almost all the music was original, save some special events like Grateful Dead night.
Even on nights they weren't playing themselves, members of bands could always be found among the crowd. The music scene at the time was like a circle, made up of bands and fans that truly appreciated music and enjoyed simply watching people express themselves creatively. Bands would come out and support other bands. Non-musicians would out come and support them all.
Even bands
and celebrities that were too big to play there live in the storybooks.
Popularly known folks like Jackson Browne, "Weird Al" Yankovic and
James Taylor stopped in to wash clothes or use the phone. Kate Pierson (B52s)
and Chrissie Hynde (The Pretenders) came by during their Tide protest to pass
out literature in affiliation with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
Walz recalls the afternoon before a Jefferson Airplane concert at Riverbend when the bar was pretty empty and there were four guys hanging out doing laundry and drinking a beer. They were worried about their cab not showing up and frantically trying to figure out how to get to their hotel — so Walz drove them. Only after dropping them off did she realize the reason the dudes were so worried about being late.
Walz showed me the blueprint of the building, and again lit up when she pointed out the wash sink in the laundry room.
"Some crazy celebrity took a bath in that sink one night," she says. "I'm pretty sure it was Marilyn Manson."
And these stop-ins aren't the only "celebrity" claims to fame for Sudsy's. The bar itself was given awards throughout the years from Cincinnati's former alternative weekly Everybody's News, from "Best Looking Staff" to "Best Rock Club," and even "Best Place to Ditch a Blind Date." They were also named the best bar in Ohio in '93 by Creem magazine, courtesy of The Connells.
However, all the press, awards and celebrities aside, Walz says what really made the place special were the local patrons.
"It was like a family, people were loyal," she says. "They would look out for others, and for the bands, and would always defend Sudsy's no matter what. Without the people, everybody, the people that watched the bands, the bands themselves, Sudsy's was nothing."
The bar would even cater specifically to bands they knew well, for example stocking extra Hudy Delight when The Thangs would come back because their crowd loved to drink it.
There were also folks she referred to as "family bums". There was Archie Harrison, a local homeless man who would help clean at night for a little money. During the days he would just hang out, always being jolly and telling jokes sharing what little bit of anything he might have had that day to share.
Then there was Sonny, a good-hearted man who hid behind a hulk of a body. Sonny would guard the back door, despite never being asked.
"I remember one time one of the dryers was broken and the glass wasn't in there to cover the hole," she says. "We had an out of order sign but, you know, I guess it disappeared. No surprise there. Anyway, we had given him some money to do laundry and he used that dryer, just picking up the clothes as they fell out of hole and throwing them right back in. It was hysterical. When we asked him why he didn't switch dryers he said he didn't want to bother us and cause trouble."
As the Millennium rolled around, a lot of the core patrons began settling down and showing up less often. The crime in the area would keep people away, and the decline in the laundry business lowered their numbers even further. Walz had just put $12,000 into a new sprinkler system, still trying to keep the building code-worth, but she, too, was moving toward settling down.
"I was pregnant at that pointm too, and I was just kind of done working in the bar business," she says.
That, along with clashes between Walz and McCabe about making money versus booking acts that would be huge for the scene led to Walz selling the establishment by 2002.
While it seems that Sudsy's wasn't as glorious after that time as it once had been, the venue remained open until 2008, at which time it closed its doors for good. The old building at 2626 Vine Street remains a boarded up relic.
One of the most revealing things Walz said during our talk about Sudsy's was, "If you were there, you were part of the reason you are here talking to me today."
It saddens
me that I didn't have to opportunity to be there, but for all those who were, as
well as for the others that might not have known what this place ever was, this
is just a small piece of the big apple pie that was Sudsy Malone's Rock n' Roll
Laundry & Bar.

I am trying to install a dishwasher, an Elba Fisher & Paykel model next to my washing machine. I plan to just manually remove the waste pipe from either machine when using but any suggestions otherwise would be greatly appreciated. Do you get Y pipes which could take both waste pipes & perhaps avoid doing both washes together ever. Also what tap would I connect up to , hot or cold? And again what kind of gadget could I buy to connect my dishwasher bit onto the existing fixing which is single for my washing machine. Does it matter if the 2 machines are plugged in next to one another too? As you can hear I am not very knowledgeable on such things & any help would be fantastic.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

ABC News source advises Obama campaign has used their monies to buy up
any/all available TV time ad space, therefore, the GOP could not run new
ads if they wanted to, due to the Dems buying up the airtime.
ABC also advised they are not sure the polls are accurate.
