South African Earle eyes Wales future
ESPN Staff
July 25, 2012
Earle has joined the Scarlets from the Cheetahs © Getty Images
South African lock George Earle has revealed his desire to play for Wales in the future following his move to the Scarlets.
Earle agreed a three-year deal with the Welsh region and by the end of that contract he will be eligible for Wales on residency grounds. The former Lions and Cheetahs lock is a big fan of the brand of rugby played by the Welsh under Warren Gatland and would relish the opportunity to
"If the opportunity arises to play for Wales, that would be the biggest honour and I would cherish that moment for the rest of my life," he told Walesonline. "When I left home, I told my dad that's something I wanted to work hard for. He said 'Go for it man'.
"Being selected for Wales would be a big bonus and something I would really look forward to. I will only be 28 when I qualify and hopefully I would be much more mature by then.
Earle added: "I supported Wales in the World Cup. I think they were very unlucky. They should have beaten South Africa and they came so close in the semi-final against France. "I just really like the brand of rugby they play. They are expansive, they are physical, they just have a good all-round game. They should have beaten Australia 3-0 out there last month. That comes down to marginal errors.
"I think they have one of the up-and-coming back lines in world rugby. They have superb players and not just the back line. The forwards I admire too, people like Sam Warburton, Alun Wyn Jones and Bradley Davies. They are very good players.
"I will be looking forward to locking horns with them this season and seeing what they can offer. I think Welsh rugby is on a big rise. That's why I can't understand why lots of people leave to go and play in France when it's on such a big high."

shell script to concatenate mp3 files
Closed - This job posting has been filled.
Job Description
I need a shell script to concatenate all the mp3 files in a directory into one new mp3 file.
The script must cat the files in order based on their created timestamp. This is critical because the files are randomly named, but they were created in the exact order (by time) that they need to be concatenated. Thus the timestamp of the file (down to the millisecond if possible) must be used.
Attached are the first few files to try out. There are 100's of mp3s in each directory that I must process.
You can use perl or just shell scripting.

Statement From U.S. Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker On The Confirmation Of Kathryn D. Sullivan As Under Secretary For Oceans And Atmosphere
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Submitted on March 6, 2014 - 4:45pm
Thursday, March 6, 2014
Today, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker issued the following statement on the confirmation of Dr. Kathryn D. Sullivan, Ph.D., as Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Administrator.
"I am very pleased that the U.S. Senate has confirmed Kathryn Sullivan as Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere and Administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Dr. Sullivan brings a wealth of experience to the position, having served as both acting and deputy NOAA administrator, as well as performing the duties of NOAA's chief scientist. She is also an accomplished astronaut, becoming the first American woman to walk in space during her 15-year tenure at NASA.
NOAA has a crucial mission, from daily weather forecasts and severe storm warnings to coastal restoration and supporting marine commerce, and the data the agency produces power a multi-billion dollar weather enterprise in the private sector. I look forward to working with Dr. Sullivan to develop next generation climate observing systems and maintain world-leader weather forecasting capabilities, two key priorities in the Commerce Department's "Open for Business Agenda." I have every confidence in Dr. Sullivan's ability to continue leading NOAA's team of more than 12,000 employees, whose work around the globe touches the lives of every American."

Chocolate bedroom, can I have it?
I would love to try to do a brown bedroom but with the slants and the pitches I'm afraid it will look like a cave. I adore brown walls with ivory trim and bedding like in the photo. The first photo is the inspiration photo and you can see that there is a pitch in that bedroom too. Also I have to keep the existing bureaus so how do you think the brown walls would look with the current furniture? Maybe a not so dark shade of brown would look better? All opinions including paint suggestions are most welcomed.
Source: houzz.com via Karen on Pinterest
Sure, you can!
I think the brown in your inspiration photo is much warmer and more enveloping (in a good way) than the color you have now. I might choose a paint that has a companion wallpaper in the same background color that has some depth in the pattern for the slanted wall. Something graceful, that draws your eye into and beyond the surface of that wall.
I have a brown bedroom, the same color as your inspiration picture and also have white bedding with Brown furniture. I LOVE it, and so does everyone that sees it. It is NOT cave-like, the white bedding helps alot with that. Go for it!
Bronwynsmom - I too love the wall color. It supposedly is blanket brown by Behr. I like your idea of possibly using a companion wallpaper but there is actually no ceiling as the two slanted walls just meet together at the peak. I'm not sure how or where I would end the wallpaper if I chose to do it. But I thank you for your yes vote on the brown bedroom :)
I think one thing in the inspiration photo that keeps that room from looking cave-like is the white ceiling. It drawss the eye upward. If there was some way you could keep some white, perhaps in the interior of the skylights and perhaps the wall the windows are on - this would help bounce the light around. The brown is warm and inviting, but I do think too much of it would be too much, if you know what I mean. Bronwynsmom has a good idea, I think, about something different for the slant.
Joanie, did you use brown blanket by Behr?
Jenna, sounds like you have a similar room set up, thanks for the vote to go for it!
Nanny, I could paint the interior of the skylights the trim color but not sure about the slanted ceiling because there's no place to end it because the slanted ceilings both just meet up together at the peak. I could think about doing something on the wall with the 3 windows but I think the brown on the wall with the 3 white windows would look so pretty. I'll keep thinking! Thanks.
The inspiration works because of the white molding and trim, and the all white or much darker furniture. Contrast is the key. You would need to install crown molding in your space, and you would need to replace, paint, or gel stain the wood furniture so that it would provide some contrast to the brown walls. Currently, the wood furniture is almost the same color as the wall paint you are thinking of using. Going lighter on the walls wouldn't be brown enough. You'd be into more of blah beige territory than brown.
Our wall color was there when we moved in so P.O. did it. Sorry, no help but it looks JUST LIKE your picture. I agree about the white ceilings or slants.
I would caution against white on any of the walls, even inside the windows. The percentage of those spaces is too high, and will give you a choppy effect.
Instead, I'd soften the arrangement with pale paint on the furniture, and lots of billowy white on the bed and in the windows. You can put soft, sheer, fixed Roman shades on slanted windows like yours by fixing the sides to the wall. You can also attach one of those battery-powered stick-on disc lights to the ceiling part behind the shades to give the windows soft light after dark.
bronwynsmom - never thought of putting fixed romans on the skylights. Good idea but I do want the flexibility to open the treatments to let light in when we want it so I think I will end up with regular cell shades on the skylights and do romans on the 3 windows.
Bumble - I've had the sage color for a very long time and have grown tired of it that's all. It was a nice color though just ready for a change :)
I was either going to go with a purple or brown paint color as the pottery barn rugs currently in the room has the colors of purple, brown, wheat, ivory and sage. I could go with just an ivory color on the walls but thought the trim would just fade into the background. I really want to try a darker color with all of the linen white trim work that I have in the room just a tad nervous about it feeling like a cave :)
We have chocolate walls in our windowless basement TV room and it is the coziest room in the house, not at all confining, but very enveloping.
I think it would work even better in your lovely light-filled room.

Plant deeper into the garden?

Thomas Aquinas: Contemporary Philosophical Perspectives
The work of Thomas Aquinas has always enjoyed a privileged position as a pillar of Catholic theology, but for centuries his standing among western philosophers was less sure. Today, Aquinas's work is recognized as a cornerstone of the western philosophical tradition. This book offers a full-scale introduction to Aquinas's philosophy. Brian Davies has collected in one volume the best recent essays on Aquinas by some of the world's foremost scholars of medieval philosophy. Taken together, they illuminate the entire spectrum of Aquinas's thought: philosophy of nature, logic, metaphysics, natural theology, philosophy of mind, philosophy of action, and ethics. The essays are philosophically solid, readable, informative, critical, and evaluative of the texts of Aquinas. Davies frames the essays with a detailed introduction that provides an account of Aquinas's life and works, as well as of his major philosophical conclusions.

Cleveland Play House
Also see David's review of The Pianist of Willesden Lane
The Cleveland Play House (CPH) will celebrate its 100th season in 2015-2016. Each year, more than 90,000 people experience over 500 performances, education programs, and engagement events. Many talented performers have acted on the stages of the CPH: Jane Krakowski, Jesse L. Martin, Alan Alda, Henry Fonda, Madeline Kahn, Edward Asner, Margaret Hamilton, and others. Joel Grey and Paul Newman learned their craft as children in the theatre classes.
Laura Kepley, Artistic Director, recently announced that each show in the 2015-2016 season would reflect Cleveland in some way. The first show in the season will be the world premiere of Ken Ludwig's A Comedy of Tenors (September 5 through October 3, 2015). Ludwig 's play The Game's Afoot debuted in Cleveland several seasons ago.
The second show will be Arthur Miller's The Crucible (October 10 through November 8, 2015). During the run of this show, the CPH will celebrate Miller's 100th birthday during the theatre's 100th birthday season.
The Christmas season in Cleveland would not be complete without a production of A Christmas Story (November 27 through December 23, 1015). Phil Grecian wrote the script based on the movie, which was written by Jean Shepherd, Leigh Brown, and Bob Clark. This show promises the excitement of a pink bunny-suit, glowing leg-lamp and, of course, triple-dog-daring.
The new year opens with Little Shop of Horrors (January 9 through February 7, 2016). This script was written by Howard Ashman (book and lyrics) and Alan Menken (music). Puppets were used in many of the CPH's early productions. For this production the stage will be filled with a vicious, growing puppet.
The Mountaintop, written by Katori Hall, takes place on April 3, 1968, in the Lorraine Motel, Room 306. This is a story of Martin Luther King, Jr. and a motel maid. She challenges his beliefs and his work. It plays January 23 through February 14, 2016.
Luna Gale by Rebecca Gilman will play February 27 through March 20, 2016. In this script, Gilman deals with issues of parenthood, faith, and love. Luna Gale is the baby daughter of a couple challenged by a social worker to do the right thing as they raise their child.
Mr. Wolf is a new play by Rajiv Joseph, a Cleveland native. In this play, a daughter goes missing and the family is devastated. Mr. Wolf runs April 2 through 24, 2016.
The season closes with Robert Harling's classic Steel Magnolias. In Truvy's beauty salon the motto is simple: "There is no such thing as natural beauty."
However, in the 2015-2016 season, audiences will find beauty (some natural and some produced by the theatre's technicians) on the stages of the Cleveland Play House. For more information, telephone 216-400-7000 or visit clevelandplayhouse.com.

A semi-automatic rifle design, commissioned to create a high accuracy, large magazine capacity, semi-automatic rifle for police and military use.
A Pump-Action shotgun is a variant of the general shotgun design, that has a pump, which must be moved between shots. It is normally towards the front of the weapon, below the barrel, and should not be confused with a lever action shotgun.

A protective shield usually made out of polycarbonate, it is primarily used by law enforcement officers around the world for crowd control.
An explosive ordinance propelled by a chemical reaction that causes a controlled explosion resulting in thrust. Rockets are usually "dumb" weapons, meaning that they are not guided. Rockets are the most powerful projectile in many games.

Customer Reviews
Needs to re-updated
App is having many problems. Like many others have stated with the issues I will recap so that maybe the developers will decide to fix. Calls have gotten better with clarity but have gotten exponentially worse with dropping calls. Video... Don't even get me started. It is very much pixelated at least on my video end and have heard it is the same on the other, on more than a few occasions. On the topic of text message retrieval and missed calls/actual calls absolutely horrible. I can go more than days before the missed call shows up on the conversation, without having the app open when the call is being made its almost a 50/50 chance that you will get the notification that you are receiving a call. Like stated in other reviews text message retrieval is very bad it lags like crazy and the only notifications about the message are in the iphone banner if the app is "minimized" when the app gets reopened it takes a good min or so before the messages are visible. So to the developers, Id like to see some drastic improvements im currently putting up with it because I'm a bit lazy but I'm going to be forced to look for something better as a military individual overseas... God bless!
Poor Performance
This app used to be so awesome until the last several updates, which seem to be more of downgrades. Before, I could send AND receive pictures on my phone no matter what version of skype people on my contact list were using, but not anymore...the app keeps crushing in the middle of a conversation, the messages disappear randomly, not to mention the awful lag.
Group chatting: this is a whole separate topic. It used to allow making voice calls no matter how many people were in the room which was awesome but now there's a limit of 8...everytime I use a different app without logging off skype and come back to skype I have to either wait for at least 5 minutes for the conversation to load or log off and back on..sometimes I see only my messages even though there has been a long conversation involving other people too...
I have a feeling that the people who work on the updates in fact think how else they can mess it up..Instead of adding features like typing in Italics/Bold I think the Skype Team should focus more on performance issues. Seriously, this is very frustrating!!! I hope this gets fixed ASAP.
Serious Problems
I love this app, when it works. But it crashes, freezes, lags, drops calls, and doesn't send me notifications. I have used this app everyday for 4 months, so I feel like I am not just bashing this app unreasonably. It has gone from quirky mess ups, to now being completely unusable and crashing my entire phone. I am sad to say my friend and I are searching for new apps to keep in touch. We would keep using this one if it worked like it does when it's not glitching. No idea how this is a main Microsoft app, I am disappointed.
And it is a Skype problem, not an Apple problem, the Skype app fails and crashes on my window's tablet too.
I also mostly use the instant messaging feature, and that actually seems far worse than the calls, which is unbelievable to me. Sending a text message should be much easier and higher quality than a voice call.

Bolts Pave Way for Hlavac's ReturnSubmitted by timothy on June 14, 2007 - 18:45
The Tampa Bay Lightning has released a report confirming the club has signed left wing Jan Hlavac to a one year contract. Hlavac has spent the last three season playing in Europe, most recently with Sparta Praha of the Czech Extraliga. Hlavac helped Sparta Praha to the Czech Extraliga championship this year with 8 goals and 2 assists in 16 playoff games.
Lightning Re-Acquire Gratton, AgainSubmitted by pete on June 13, 2007 - 19:20
TSN.ca is reporting the Lightning have traded a 2nd round pick in either 2007 or 2008 to the Florida Panthers in exchange for center Chris Gratton. Gratton, who was the Lightning's 1st round pick in 1993, will be making his third tour of duty with the Lightning. In 1008 career NHL games he has scored 204 goals and 544 points. In 81 games last season Gratton scored 13 goals and 35 points in 81 games with 94 penalty minutes. His career season came in 1996-1997 with the Lightning when he had 30 goals and 62 points in 82 games to go along with 201 penalty minutes. Gratton signed an offer sheet with the Philadelphia Flyers the subsequent offseason and left Tampa with the infamous Phil Esposito smudged fax fiasco. Gratton returned in 1999 from Philadelphia and served as the Lightning's captain during the 1999-2000 season before being dealt to the Buffalo Sabres in a multi-player deal that included then-rookie defenseman Cory Sarich. Gratton will assume the Lightning's third line center role next season.

Denis Kazionov Transfers to CSKASubmitted by pete on June 11, 2007 - 20:12
Eurohockey.net reports Denis Kazionov has transferred from HC Tver to CSKA of the Russian Superleague. The younger Kazionov brother had 2 goals and 3 points in 24 games with Tver last season. The 19 year old center was rumored to be headed to North America this summer along with his brother, but it remains to be seen if both the Lightning and the Kazionovs follow through on earlier plans.

Bolts Re-sign Tarnasky, WanvigSubmitted by chad on June 11, 2007 - 13:27
The Tampa Tribune is reporting the Lightning has re-signed forward pending restricted free agent Nick Tarnasky and pending unrestricted free agent Kyle Wanvig.
The Tribune reports the deal for "Tar-nasty" is 3 years. Wanvig, who was a second round pick of the Minnesota Wild in 2001 and was MVP of the 2001 Memorial Cup for Red Deer (WHL), signed a one-year, two-way deal.
''Nick Tarnasky has all the makings of a true dominant power forward in the NHL,'' Lightning general manager Jay Feaster said. ''He has size, strength, solid skating ability, willingness to commit himself to the defensive side of the game and an under-developed ability to finish that even he is just starting to harness and explore.

Lundin Named Distinguished Scholar for Academic Career at MaineSubmitted by pete on June 9, 2007 - 17:01
One of the things that tends to get lost in the shuffle of watching the Lightning's young prospects develop is just how much emphasis the team puts on drafting intelligent young men with a surplus of character. Case in point: On Friday Mike Lundin was named to the Hockey East All-Academic team for the fourth straight season to wrap up a sterling academic career with the University of Maine. For his career acheivements, Lundin was named a 'Distinguished Scholar' after posting a 3.0 or better GPA for four straight years in college.
The Lightning and Lundin are currently in negotiations regarding his first pro contract and the young defenseman is likely to begin his pro career next season with Norfolk of the AHL.

Look, I understand that you want some protection. The kind of protection that a bulletproof vest or an army of bodyguards can't provide. You want something that can stop a Brakpan bouncer in its tracks, armour that will allow you to fire repulsor P-klaps. Well I've got some good news for you. Because such armour does exist! And there are no catches whatsoever to owning your own Hulkbuster armour!
We're more than halfway through the second month of the year, and I've barely posted any cosplay goodness. Time to change that, as one of the first big calendar events of the year for cosplayerers was held last week. KatsuCon 2015 kicked things off, and as usual, it attracted some great talent from across the cosplay community. Don't believe me? Then enjoy some proof after the jump.
I've been abandoned…abandoned I tell you! Zoe and Darryn have been struck down by the almighty Eskom (who literally took away their power), Geoff has run off to live his life (pffft), Gavin is MIA (probably off drinking beer), and Sandy is on a flight back to Jhb (from Hipsterland). Looks like I'm alone on this lonely ship today, I hope I can keep it afloat!
I've done videos on them in the past, but here's the low-down in case you were''n't around: Every year, Dragon Con kicks off, and is pretty much the premiere cosplay event to attend. All of the costumes, none of the long lines for a Twilight panel. Dragon Con is one of the purer cosplay events out there, where dressing up isn't just required, it's downright mandatory. And every year, BeatdownBoogie is there to make a really long video about it. Enjoy!
One animated show that went out with a bang has to be Futurama. Several seasons, cancellations and straight to DVD movies resulted in a legacy of side-splitting comedy, science and Bender telling folks to bite his shiny metal ass. I'm going to miss that show. Still, it'll live on in our hearts and minds, thanks to reruns and of course cosplay. And it's all good news everyone, with this particular piece of fandom cosplay.
Last year, I got a chance to hit the BlizzCon scene and snap lots of photos. And it was awesome. It may just be my favourite gaming convention that I've ever attended, a two day ride with a great atmosphere, games and even better people attending. I wasn't there this year, but fortunately frequent commenter Brian Murphy was. And he snapped plenty of pictures for you guys.
I don't know about you guys, but my year is pretty much winding down. When it comes to events, I usually look forward to Q4 game releases, my annual rAge cosplay and preparing for the year ahead. Of course, I'm an old ma with the alcohol tolerance level of a foetus, because when my year peaks it merely begins for other cosplayers. Such as those guys and gals who hit the streets for New York Comic Con.
I bow before the gods of cosplay. Some people, including our resident cosplay genius Darryn, are able to craft some truly magnificent costumes to accurately replicate their favorite gaming, comic book, anime or movie characters. But this isn't a new thing, as vintage cosplay pictures prove.
I've been doing the cosplay thing for a few years now. You'd know this because I rarely ever shut up about it. My philosophy however, has always been for quality over quantity, resulting in basically just one costume a year that I pour all my effort into for rAge. And this year, the cosplay that was on show was a cut above from previous years.
Right now, I'm struggling to fit a dubious amount of rubber into my luggage for the rAge trip tomorrow and the Saturday cosplay. I'm most likely going to die on that Saturday, so any of you have some bottled water and a straw, that would be most appreciated if you find me. Back on topic: Dragon Con went down a couple of weeks ago, bringing the best, brightest and weirdest cosplay out into the open. Check it out!
Right now, you can bet that all your local cosplayers are putting the finishing touches on their costumes. And those costumes are going to look great! Except don't tell the cosplayer that, because they'll be wracked with self-doubt about that one detail that they missed, and oh crap please don't let anyone notice that the nose on my costume is out of proportion. Ahem, anyway, there was more cosplay on the weekend at the Russian convention known as Igromir. And it also looked superb Check it out!
Dragon Age Inquisition is almost upon us. While I'm getting ready by fobbing off as much work as possible on innocent younger members of staff, other people prepare themselves by dressing up as their favourite characters. This crew is truly incredible.
Let's be honest here: The coolest hero of the year is undoubtedly Star Lord, who happens to be a cross between the swagger of Han Solo, the dance moves of Michael Jackson and the badass skills of Indiana Jones. As far as heroes go, his signature look also happens to be quite easy to replicate. Sort of. And with various events coming up that the cosplay community is dying to take part in, you can bet that everybody wants to be a Star Lord this year.
By Jove, I think the chap behind this cosplay video is on to something! As much as I love seeing cosplay shown off on the world wide interwebs, I have to admit that the formula for creating such videos is becoming a bit formulaic and stale. But a video that has random cosplayers at the Wrestlemania of all dress-up events singing along to a classic song? Genius!
I dig the cosplay scene. Most of you are well aware of this, as I happen to theme my hobby around a certain nocturnal avenger who punches crime and mental disorders with rubber fists of vengeance. It's hard work making an outfit, and at the end of the day, you can be certain of one thing: Some other bugger is going to put all your hard work to shame. And honestly, I'd have no problem being overshadowed by this mechanised masterpiece.

It's January and it's cold. The world should thank Ohio this month for spicing up the sports headlines with the Ohio State Buckeyes representing the great state at the BCS national championship, LeBron being one of the center draws for the NBA, and the Arena District in Columbus getting ready to stage the NHL All-Star Weekend. Ohio is where it's at for money and sports in 2015, even if the weather isn't all that inviting lately.

CHICAGO – Chris Rock isn't a huge writer/director, but when he does make a film, it's an event to consider. For example, he made black president tale "Head of State" long before then-senator Barack Obama was even considered for the real-life role, and whether behind the stand-up mic or in an interview, he's a voice to be reckoned with.

Blu-Ray Review: Worst Comedy of 2009 is 'All About Steve'Submitted by BrianTT on January 4, 2010 - 2:53pm
CHICAGO – Sandra Bullock may have had a spectacular 2009, headlining hits "The Proposal" and "The Blind Side" and being named Entertainment Weekly's Entertainer of the Year, but she also reached the low point of her career (yes, lower than "Speed 2") in the horrendous, awful, laugh-free "All About Steve," a worthy candidate for the worst film of the year just passed and now available on Blu-ray and DVD.

Hosta Matresses. Matresses??
I was just doing a Google search for hosta nurseries (in case new ones pop up, you never know!) and clicked on this link. WEIRD. Why on earth would Sealy name a mattress brand HOSTA? I'd like to talk to that marketing wizard.....
Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.compare.com/l/hosta+wholesale?gclid=CIj_nZ_Jwr8CFVE1aQod5k8ANQ
Well, there IS a leafy pattern on it. They don't look like Hosta leaves to me, but maybe someone was taking a bit of creative license?
Now the tie-in with sleeping and Hostas is obvious. Who among us, after laboring all day long planting Hostas, doesn't sleep like a baby? Bed....sleep like a baby.....oh, yeah, I'm onto it.
(I'm sticking with this until I can come up with something better).
That Sealy hosta mattress is ready for a real Sleeping Beauty.
How about planting a Sleeper's/ Dreamer's Theme Garden? Here's a link which may be helpful: Sleeper's/ Dreamer's Garden

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

The use of English as the standard language is prefered so that the information is useable by most lispers.

Welcome, Little DeathPosted: January 20, 2015 in Dreams, Light Phases, music, Pop Culture
Tags: 1996, Dune, litte death, lyrics, music, original music, prog rock
A long time ago, 1996 or so, I wanted to be Kate Bush fronting Marillion; a winning combination certain to win the hearts and minds of middle America. Unfortunately I had neither the voice of Kate Bush nor the enigmatic charm of Fish and so every project to which I brought this vision floundered for a bit, hemorrhaged drummers, and then died a slow, whiny death. I've gotten over that now. It took me almost 20 years but I have finally come to realize I cannot sing and perhaps more importantly, prog really is the fine china of the music world- it should only be used on special occasions under certain circumstances.
Despite all this, I believe I came closest to my dream in this song. Inspired by a binge of both watching and reading Dune, "Little Death" is performed by a short lived band tentatively named , Make Way for Ducklings. My poorly drawn husband is killing it on piano, and Glen Douglas plays lead guitar; I think Russel Pickett is on bass, but that may also be a midi controlled keyboard bass. The drums are programmed, because just like my vibrator, programmed drummers do exactly want I want them to do for exactly as long as I want them to do it, and don't expect me to make a sandwich for them afterwards.
The video was filmed in Second Life in Forgotten City.
Welcome, Little Death
Black wings flutter in a flag of surrender
My dreams like vultures pick the corpse bare and fly off to another
Welcome, Little One
The world in your head is immense and you cross it with a step
Reluctance conquers and rules with innocence
She was never pretty, she was not the best,
She had expectations just like all the rest
She was not the brightest, she was never blessed
She held out for more, and ended up with less
Welcome, Little Fear
You sense your time has come, you jump the gun and march
on your own country
Compromise the borders and find
There's nothing left of me
Welcome, Little Death
We always knew you'd come our sole excuse
and all forgiving friend
So kiss this demon dream goodnight
And let it end
She was never pretty, she was not the best
She had expectations just like all the rest
She was not the brightest, she was never blessed
She held out for more
And ended up with nothing
Unforgivable, the things we do sometimes
The posture we take in a room and the way we hold our eyes
The stares we never meet and the things we never say
We think we're holding out but we're giving it all away
Housewife ArmyPosted: January 9, 2015 in Light Phases, motherhood, music
Tags: feminist, housewife, housework, lyrics, unemployed
In honor of the study of how unemployed men versus unemployed women spend their days, as presented by Jezebel. com (one of my favorite news filters), I present lyrics to a song I wrote for an all-mom punk band, circa 2002. Now the gist of the current study is that unemployed men are more likely to spend their time watching television, while unemployed women spend more time caring for others or doing housework. They did a study on this? Did the government spend money on it? They should ask me the next time they think they might spend tax payer dollars on such a study, because I could have told them . . . and I would have estimated some mighty believable numbers for a whole lot less than they spent on the staff who made the calls/entered the data, etc. Just wanted to get that out there.
I will admit my song is a bit proto-feminist, but I'm not ashamed. The cultural references are also a bit dated, but if you're over 25 you probably remember these things.
Housewife Army
I'm going to start the revolution right now, gonna raise up a housewife army
Sisters, rise up, lace your Keds on tight, we're gonna march on the patriarchy
Pack a snack for the kids if you can't get a sitter; making history's at hand
Leave your dishes and your laundry undone, and take to you minivan
Housewife Army, Housewife Army, It's a Housewife Army
Changing the world's on my To-Do List today
The man can't keep us down here in the 'burbs watching Trading Spaces all day
We'll clean your house, we'll cook the meals, but now we're gonna do it for pay
We're gonna mobilize, we might just unionize, don't talk down to me anymore
Not you auto mechanics, not you health care professionals, we mean it – this is war!
Housewife Army, Housewife Army, It's a Housewife Army
Changing the world's on my To-Do List today
First pull QVC off the air, quit selling crap that we don't need
Shut down Cosmo and Woman's Day, no one needs that kind of trash to read
Fuck Jenny Craig, fuck Dexatrim, we know a chocolate shake from SlimFast
And the designer who brought us those low-rise jeans can kiss my cellulite-covered ass
Housewife Army, Housewife Army, It's a Housewife Army
Changing the world's on my To-Do List today
We demand to be identified by more than what we buy and where
We want a choice, a political voice, a party beyond Tupperware

The Mindful Pessimist: Counting My Miseries (and how it could be worse)Posted: July 24, 2014 in Dark Phase, Light Phases, motherhood, music, Random Writings
Tags: blessings, life, middle age, mindful, misery, negativity, pessimism, philosophy
I have never been good at counting my blessings; I'm far too negative for that. Those chipper, upbeat people on my Facebook feed (how did I even get these friends?) are constantly posting positive, life-affirming sayings, and it takes a great deal of will power on my part to not refute each and every one as oversimplifying, sugar coating or self-aggrandizing the true nature of our existence. Luckily I was taught not to say anything if I have nothing nice to say and so I remain, to most people, very quiet.
However, I sometimes feel the need to take a life inventory of sorts, just to remind myself how none of this makes any sense, but here I am and no matter what, it could always be worse.
Here then, in my most positively pessimistic perspective, is my list of miseries and how it could be worse:
1.) I make music that absolutely no one wants to hear. It's my passion, my heart and soul, but apparently my heart and soul is lacking, boring, potentially dated and out of tune (do not tell me it's because I'm a downer , not while The Cure and Morrissey are still touring).
It could be worse. I could be loaded with talent and still just as obscure and nowhere, like many of my truly gifted friends.
2.) My house is an absolute pig-sty having just spent the last week and a half enjoying a visit from a friend and her children and making little effort to contain the chaos.
It could be worse. I could have high expectations of my housekeeping abilities and spend the next week stressed out while working towards a presentable home. Instead I will take this opportunity to continue to enjoy the summer and host many more social engagements, knowing I won't have to clean up much afterwards to maintain status quo. All the while I will not worry that my friends are secretly judging my messy home and deciding my best efforts are not good enough; I made no effort. Perfect!
There is the added bonus of boosting my friends' confidence in their own housekeeping standards. Once they leave my place they will have a bright new perspective on how nice their homes truly are. I am a good friend!
3.) I'm turning 46 in a few weeks. How did that even happen? I was 27 just a minute ago and now here I am starting the 4 year countdown to 50. What have I even done with my life? Do I really need to go any further with the physical aging process? Because I know how it ends and I don't like it. And . . .and . . .reading glasses!
It could be worse. I could still be living with the youthful optimism that it will all work out without any effort on my part. That was a big lesson I learned only in the past 6 or 7 years: if there is such a thing as fate, you have to get her number and harass her regularly to get her to work for you. Or you can just do the work yourself (easier).
Also gone is the underlying anxiety of where my life might take me because I finally know: it's taken me right here, a messy home with a couple of kids who, I hope, are enjoying summer break with their mom, a woman who isn't stressing over things that don't matter that much.
Without being too optimistic, I'd like to say I am okay with where I am right now (although being at Comic Con this weekend would be good too). There's still some road ahead with potential twists and turns, but I think I'm better at navigating it than I was in my youth. Or not.
I certainly don't see myself embracing the bright side of things anytime soon, so I'll stick with counting my miseries and my life long philosophy. . .

A Movie, Some Music . . .Posted: May 26, 2014 in music, Pop Culture, Somewhere in between phases
Tags: film critic, indie, movie, music, San Francisco
I spent Saturday afternoon at The Opera Plaza Cinema watching Only Lovers Left Alive, exactly where I had wanted to see the movie when I first heard about it. While the film does have a very 90's feel – Jarmusch, vampires, Tilda Swinton, a soundtrack of moody, heavy guitar, it did not allow me to time warp back to 1995 as I had hoped: Indie Movie Time Machine. You can travel back in time, but only while the movie is playing. No, I didn't get that experience. Instead I felt anchored to my present reality, one in which I'm rather busy with my family and new music and the slightest attempt at starting my own business. It's nice to be so connected to my current life, but I do enjoy getting lost in a good movie and I'm afraid this one just wasn't powerful enough to make that happen.
When it was over, my fellow film goers agreed it was visually beautiful, but slow-paced, with moments of dry humor. It seemed to me that seventy percent of the main characters' dialogue consisted of historical and scientific facts, a constant reminder of the ages and information the vampires had witnessed and absorbed in their long lives.
"Do you think it was written that way out of sarcasm or irony?" asked one of the women in our group. "I mean they were such snobs. Was he making a point about snobbery?" I'll go with that. Perhaps the point is that the thinking-man's vampire will become turgid, not with blood but knowledge that, while impressive, can become just as much a crutch as violence or melodrama when used so extensively. Or perhaps I'm the real snob here. . . But then, Tom Hiddleston.
Meanwhile, back in my everyday life, I'm excited to be part of KnightressM1's upcoming show at the Milk Bar in San Francisco on June 5th. Violinist/vocalist Emily Palen is the creative force behind KnightressM1, and she is one of those rare people with a direct connection to the music god(dess). I first saw and heard Emily at The Red Devil Lounge with the band, Dolorata and she has since gone on to play and record with many groups in the Bay Area as well as the Foo Fighters. The music I'm helping her bring to the stage is more electronica influenced than the music she regularly performs with her power trio. It's beautiful and compelling and I was immediately drawn to it. It's also subtly complex and nuanced. It is definitely challenging me in regards to knowledge of my gear, Ableton Live, as well as my musicianship.
Here's a song we will be performing on June 5th. Enjoy!
