A little over two years ago, I was the target of three strangers whose attack on me started as a barrage of contradictory insults and "compliments" and soon led to rape. The men initially noticed me because I was wearing a shirt that identified me as gay. Coming from a radically conservative town where almost everyone knew me, especially after I came out, I rarely experienced street harassment from people who I didn't know. This experience was a first for me on many fronts and has scarred me from all directions and in all aspects of my life. From then on, any time anyone made a comment about me in the halls of my high school or while I was walking around town, I felt utterly powerless and would often have flashbacks. I came upon the Holla Back New York blog a while ago and was inspired by the tools the site offered for ending street harassment. After attending a workshop on how to holla back this year, I've been considering starting a Holla Back site for the area surrounding my college. This journey has not been without obstacles, however.
The idea of me starting a Holla Back blog by myself is something that scares me. During high school, I was active in efforts to end harassment of LGBTQ youth and was often the target of a great deal of hate. Having moved from my small conservative hometown to college in a really liberal area, I feel that I've just recently become a less visible target and am not willing to risk that sense of comfort. To split the weight of my decision to Holla Back, I began searching for a partner. This search, thus far, has turned out empty. The friends I have talked to about partnering with me for a project like this have found the idea of a Holla Back blog to be problematic for differing reasons which I don't necessarily agree with but don't want to repeat here because I think I would express their opinions differently than they would.
I guess the point of my writing this post is sort of the old "there's power in numbers" speech. When fear is shared, it's lessened. When we are there for each other, start projects together, march side by side, we feel stronger and can do more. I don't feel that those I asked to help me were wrong in choosing not to, but I think that if someone in your community is trying to start something and you think it's a good idea, join them. The more of us holla back, the louder we are, which would be nice because I'm tired of all this silence.
First of all, Feminuity drew our attention to VOCES: A Zine by the Voices Against Violence Project.
Jos Truitt discusses the need for "trans lives to come deliberately into focus" through storytelling. Gender-based harassment in public places can be about policing gender performance as well as the objectification of female bodies and a culture that is tolerant of violence against women. If you experience street harassment as a trans man or woman, Hollaback! and share your story here.
Feministing informs us that even after the big scandal in L.A. last year, 80% of rape kits STILL go untested in Illinois. It is extremely depressing but you can take action – read about new legislation (and who to start calling) at the link.
We've spent a lot of time talking about the limits of the first street harassment videogame as an empowering tool for women, but this author thinks 'Hey Baby' could be used to educate men through empathy-building.
Finally, an interview with the always lovely Holly Kearl, author of 'Stop Street Harassment: Making Public Spaces Safe and Welcoming for Women.'
Also, we had an amazing time at our recent launch party, thanks to Carmen at Where is Your Line? for the shout-out and to everyone who came out to celebrate with us!
This poem was read at our launch party by the incredibly talented Camille Theobald. This is the first ever poem written about Hollaback!
I rise ready for a morning run, man I love to feel that sun
Hear the birds out "tweet tweet", and the light landing of my feet
Till a noise shatters the silence, with verbal violence.
A sound that unleashes hate inside, the part of me I try to hide.
But I can't help but hear this man's foul words in my ear.
"Hey Girl you got a fine ass." He may think it's a compliment but in reality it's crass
I keep going to avoid any more, but he still thinks he's gonna score
"What sexy you afraid of me? Ah so that's how its gonna be"
Yeah, that's how its gonna be! What did you think I'de do?
"Oh daddy yeah, take me home with you"
This is the real world not your sick fantasy, you need to come back to reality
Your not a rapper in some sick music video, surrounded by money, cars and hoes
You're a just a skinny ass white boy still wearing JNCOs
And even if you were hot it wouldn't make a difference, not when you're coming at me such ignorance.
It's not like I've never heard it before but this time I'm slamming the door
Its not enough to "ignore it and keep walking", that never stops these perverts from talking.
Who knows if he will stop at words with his foul thoughts, for words lead to actions and physical assault.
So now it's time to take action against street talking harassment.
People unite to keep clear of these fools these dogs that think they can bend the rules.
Blog your experience text your pics we no longer have to put up with these pricks.
This incredibly powerful poem was read at our launch party on Thursday by Dailyn. At 20 years old, she's smart, she's fierce, and she's an inspiration to us all.
I am Ani Difranco
I am beyond your peripheral vision
so you might want to turn your head
cuz someday you'll find you are starving
and eat all of the words you just said…
The other day I was walking the street in Manhattan when suddenly…
"What's good Mami, damn you ass fine as hell, let me talk to you fo' a minute"
…I'd really like to know the success ratings on that line.
So I turned around to the prick and said,
ok, you would like to have a conversation, shall we?"Let's talk about how you feel about Obama recently stating that Republicans are to blame for the immigration delay –"
…we had a nice little conversation.
I wonder how many girls have fallen for that line and settled with guys just because he was interested in how beautiful or hot they are.
It makes me question, do women and girls know their worth?
Do you know your worth?
your smile, your laughter, your eyes, your opinions, emotions, they MATTER. Your voice matters. You are not your lips and your thighs. You are your mind
I just wish more people took what I'm saying seriously
I wish people could see who I truly am underneath.
That I'm more of a man that they'll ever be…
and sometimes I forget to brush my teeth…
that I fucking love cursing…
and I hate shaving my legs…
that everyday I'm away from my grandmother I ache the distance…
and sometimes when I'm bored ill do impressions of novelas in my mirror…
and I think there's no point in talking to yourself if you don't respond…
I feel like a homeless person always asking the world for change
but I know my worth with every step I take.
We have a FANTASTIC op-ed in the Daily News right now that discusses out soon-to-be-released iPhone app!!
We are always concerned that misdemeanor crimes on the streets and subway are not taken seriously when they have such an enormous impact on the women and LGBTQ folks who experience them, but in this extremely disturbing piece of news, the Village Voice reveals that more serious forms of violence against women are being systemically downgraded to less serious charges in NYC.
Interview with the maker of the fantastic short film 'Walking Home.' This film is a poignant look at street harassment that has been featured on our site previously.
In a blog on Gender and Public policy, one blogger compares street harassment to being bombarded with ping pong balls whenever you walk down the street. Hilarious, apt, and it makes me want to carry around ping pong balls to throw back, although, tragically, hand-eye coordination isn't really my thing…
Street harassment is sometimes an eco-feminist issue. This blogger in Miami notes that the threat of harassment keeps women in their cars rather than on bikes or public transport.
Thank you to the Gay Brooklyn Tip Sheet for including our party in your July calendar!
And FINALLY, OUR LAUNCH PARTY IS TODAY @ 125 5TH AVE IN BROOKLYN – COME CELEBRATE WITH US!!!!!!
In this week of "Naked in a Fishbowl" the improv group of ladies saw a man touching himself on the F train to Coney Island and Hollaback'ed! The improv show plays every Monday night at the SoHo Playhouse Off-Broadway, check 'em out!
As we are always saying over here at Hollaback!, SEXUAL VIOLENCE ISN'T CULTURAL. We hear this one ALL the time, which of course forces us to collectively roll our eyes and sigh dramatically.
The anecdotal evidence that we collect on this blog shows that in NYC all kinds of men harass women and all kinds of women experience harassment. This fantastic New York Times op-ed discusses sexual violence in Congo and argues that dismissing it as cultural is demeaning and counter-productive.
While we are still working to collect accurate statistics about street harassment here in the States, this study conducted in the Netherlands states that 59% of sexual harassment incidents last year occurred in public spaces. No surprises there…
Ms. Magazine follows up with further coverage of "eve-teasers" in India and Bangladesh.
Blogger Kimberly McLeod discusses catcalling, suggests a few responses, and even gives a shout-out to Hollaback!
Finally, this is the LAST DAY TO VOTE for Hollaback! in the Revelation to Action Competition. Let's make this happen everyone!!!
And of course we are counting down the days until our LAUNCH PARTY on July 8! See you there!
Thanks to Feministing and Bust for spreading the word!
With only ten days left on our trusty pepto-bismol pink website, we've got two very exciting announcements.
First, 16 edits, 8 months, 356 donors later, we just submitted our iPhone application to Apple yesterday! Fingers crossed.
Second, the wonderful ladies at cozy wallet will be sponsoring our launch party! Cozy Wallet (cozywallet.com) is a gateway free stuff, discounts and giveways. Check out their website at cozywallet.com. See the event details here.
Our launch party is coming – which means the new site and iPhone app are too! Will you be there to see it all begin?
Only a little over ONE WEEK TO GO to get your VOTE in for our Changemaker's "Action to Revelation" competition! This isn't like the 2000 election: your vote matters here. The three groups that get the most votes win $5,000 and will be honored in front of over 200 people!
In my favorite response to 'eve-teasing' so far, Indian women learn how to use a dupatta, a traditional scarf that denotes modesty, for self-defense!
Mobile technology and web 2.0 media are powerful tools for social change, and they are becoming increasingly accessible. Egyptian women use 'citizen media' to highlight the problem of street harassment and my favorite blogger at the Economist discusses the increasing ubiquity of cell phones, even in impoverished areas.
A disproportionate number of homeless youth identify as LGBTQ. LGBTQ folks already often experience harassment and violence in public spaces, and of course the risks are much greater when you are unable to retreat from those spaces.
In this shout-out to Hollaback! NYC and Hollaback! DC, Emily Hauser reminds us that street harassment is part of a continuum of violence against women and that so-called "compliments" can still be used to express dominance.
Hollaback! has been announced as a finalist in the online competition, Revelation to Action: Your Place. Your Idea. Your Change., sponsored by Green Mountain Coffee® and Ashoka's Changemakers. The Revelation to Action competition seeks to find and help fund creative solutions for motivating local citizens to strengthen communities across New England and New York.

Hollaback! is one of 15 finalists out of 358 entrants across the Northeast for its innovation, social impact, and sustainability. Through the use of mobile technology, Hollaback! will provide women and girl with a real-time, empowered response to harassment. Each Hollaback! will be mapped, showing exactly when and where harassment happens. Hollaback! currently has eight sites across the globe: New York, DC, Chicago, Savannah, Charleston, London, Hong Kong, and Toronto.

Continuing to fine tune the parameters of the flocking simulation. In this version, the predators hunt as a group. As they get hungrier (color turns redder), they begin to get more desperate and begin to break away from the group to try and grab the closest prey.

Staff: The front desk staff was very professional and friendly.
Breakfast staff was very nice and helpful, especially in these days when
the breakfast time was managed by a young man, whose name unfortunately
can not remember - the whole "organization" was unnoticeable
and really friendly.
The room: we were at the "executive" room - 2 adults 2 children.
The room was very clean and relatively large (for Paris), but the sofa folded for sleeping to the teenager filled the whole free space, so four - Anonymous
The staff were great - the location is fantastic - the hotel far exceeded our expectations! We would like to stay there again! - Jason
I have aspired to stay in this hotel since I first visited Paris as a
student and could not afford it...I Was not DISSAPOINTED,as follows...
Lovely staff. Child Friendly. Excellent Location. Honesty Bar and 24
hour service (we did not use it but nice to know it's there). Calm
atmosphere... Oasis in the middle of mad Paris ! Garden Suite... (Too
hot to use during our visit but nice to know it was there).. 4* accolade
but bordering on 5* Chess in the lounge for the kids (mine are 7 and 11)

Hotel du Levant is just the cutest hotel - so Parisan but at the same
time very modern amenities.The staff was very helpful. Before we even
came to Paris they answered all my e-mails within a day and gave great
directions from the train station at Gare de Norde to the hotel The
location is just great - lots of cafes, and shops in the same block as
the hotel and neighboring blocks. The metro station is just a block
away. We walked to Notre Dame and the Seine within minutes. Our room was

Although the room was smallish (perhaps not by Parisian standards), itwas immaculate and beautifully maintained. The staff were unfailinglyhelpful and polite.

Race Day
With weather forecasts anticipating temperatures in the low-80′s with possibly humid conditions during event weekend, DCT organizers are taking extra precautions and urging the athletes to do the same. Enhancements to address the heat include:
- AMPLE FLUIDS ON THE BIKE COURSES. Every bike bottle handout station will have 1.5 to 2.0 bottles available per participant. Sprint participants have TWO opportunities for fluids on the 18 mile course (start and halfway point). Half Iron participants have SIX opportunities for fluids on the 56 mile course.
- AMPLE FLUIDS ON THE RUN COURSES. Every rest station on the run will have 3-4 cups of fluids per participant. There will be THREE opportunities for fluids on the Sprint run course (start, mile 1.5 and mile 2.2). There will be TEN opportunities for fluids on the Half Iron run course (start, miles 1.5, 3.1, 4.2, 5.5, 7.1, 8.1, 9.7, 10.7 and 12.3). On average, there will be water stations every 1.2 miles.
- ICE, ICE BABY! In addition to the fluids, every rest station on the run will offer cups of ice to the participants.
- GET HOSED! There will be one sprinkler on the Sprint run course and at least 2-3 sprinklers on the Half Iron run course, including an industrial Misting System at mile 12 on Sunny Point Road.
- TAKE A COLD BATH… There will be 100-gallon immersion tanks at EVERY REST STATION ON THE RUN. Participants suffering from the heat are encouraged to dunk their upper bodies into these baths in order to cool off. There will also be a 1,000-gallon portable pool at the finish for athletes to cool off in when they reach the finish line.
- MISTING WANDS. There will be at least 2 elevated shower-style misting wands that participants may pass under when they finish.
- EXCESS FLUIDS AT FINISH. There will be 4,000+ bottles of water at the finish area for participants and spectators. There will also be soda and beer for the crowds.
Organizers are asking participants to take extra precautions as well. They are urged to:
- Wear lighter colored and moisture-wicking clothing
- Arrive well-hydrated at the starting line
- Place their personal safety over their pace.
- Take every opportunity to take in more fluids on the courses
- Drink GATORADE in addition to water to replace electrolytes and avoid a condition known as hyponatremia which can result from over-consumption of water
Personal safety takes the joint effort of both organizers and participants. We'll see you this weekend!
Race Day
Organizers have been working with the Door County Sheriff's Department and Sturgeon Bay Police Department for several months to establish road closures and staffing needs to safely accommodate the event. According to Race Director Sean Ryan, "Great care was taken during course design to minimize disruption to residents and visitors in the county." None of the routes for the event cross highways 42 or 57. Residents along the course routes are asked to use caution when leaving and returning to their driveways on race weekend to avoid collisions. Printed maps and a complete list of road disruptions are available at the Sturgeon Bay YMCA.
CLICK HERE for a list of the road disruptions from this year's event.
On Sunday during the Half Iron event, the County Sheriff's Department will close County G/Horseshoe Bay Road southbound at Highway 42 from approximately 11 am until 3 pm. In addition, the section of Horseshoe Bay Road that goes down the hill from County G to Murphy Park will be closed from approximately Noon until 4 pm. Inbound spectator traffic is advised to parallel park on the east side of County G and catch a shuttle ride or walk down the hill during these hours. Inbound local traffic may take South Trail to residences, Egg Harbor Beach and The Alpine Resort. Outbound local traffic and departing participants are advised to depart NORTHBOUND on Horseshoe Bay Road, taking South Trail at the five corners intersection to Highway 42 while the events are in progress on both days.

Buckle up for a wild weather ride the next 48 to 72 hours Central Indiana. All is quiet this evening with an increase in clouds expected as our next weather system approaches from the west. All of the viewing area is under a Winter Weather Advisory that begins at 3am and runs until midday Tuesday.
An area of sleet and freezing rain expands eastward late tonight into the Tuesday morning commute. It may not be heavy precipitation, but it will be effective falling onto sub-freezing surfaces like sidewalks and roadways. This will lead to slick travel for several hours in the morning with temperatures not anticipated to climb above freezing until around midday.
Rising temperatures and locally heavy rainfall increases the risk for flooding Tuesday evening… though it's uncertain at this point where the heaviest rain-banding will set up tomorrow. It should be noted that underneath the heavier bands of rain rainfall amounts of .25″ to .75″ are possible. Rainfall on the heavy snow pack and frozen ground could lead to excessive runoff.
We're closely monitoring snow potential Wednesday as colder air returns and teams up with abundant moisture from the Gulf of Mexico. At this juncture it's a bit uncertain where the heaviest snow axis develops. But it appears somewhere between I-70 and the Ohio River could be the bulls eye… as various model outputs show heavy (6″+) snowfall in this region. We'll refine this forecast tomorrow and don't be surprised if the Winter Storm Watches in southern Indiana/northern Kentucky expand farther north to include more of Central Indiana.
Near record cold temperatures arrive after Wednesday, with lows nearing zero to sub-zero Thursday and Friday mornings. Though bitterly cold… both days feature decent sunshine and quiet conditions compared to the beginning of the week. We're going to keep the weekend dry for now but may need to add light precipitation chances. Stay tuned for updates on a highly changeable forecast for Wednesday – Sean Ash
This afternoon marks the three year anniversary of Indiana's last killer tornado. On the afternoon of March 2nd, 2012 at approximately 2:50pm EST, a tornado touched down in the southern Indiana town of Fredicksburg. This vicious twister would strengthen into nearly a half-mile wide EF4 tornado… with peak wind speeds estimated at 175mph.
Its east-northeastward path would take it through the towns of New Pekin and Henryville, where sadly it claimed the lives of 11 Hoosiers. This tornado was on the ground for nearly 50 miles and crossed the Ohio River into northern Kentucky where EF1-EF2 damage occurred.
Today we remember the lost souls and all of those impacted by the events of of March 2nd, 2012.
Here is a link to the other facts and images of the Henryville, IN tornado from the National Weather Service in Louisville, KY.
Central Indiana and Indianapolis bring in the start of meteorological spring with its snowiest March 1st on record. Nearly 6″ feel at the National Weather Service in Indianapolis since midnight and a storm total of 7.9″. This marks the snowiest March "day" since 2000.
Impressive snow amounts indeed all over Central Indiana… ranging from 10″ to Frankfort, 9″ Monrovia, nearly 8″ in Muncie/Carmel/Castelon and up to 5-"6″ in Mexico and Monticello.
A light freezing drizzle lingers in the southern counties of the viewing area this evening. Elsewhere expect clouds to hang tough and temperatures to slowly cool into the lower 20s. Depending on how much clearing occurs tonight, if any, dictates how cold lows will be Monday morning. We're banking on partial clearing and lows in the lower teens. However, if overcast hangs on… areas of freezing drizzle and lows in the 20s can be expected. Either way slick roads are very possible tonight into Monday morning.
Monday is quiet and but we're already eyeing a new weather threat Tuesday morning, when freezing rain could potentially make it slick for the commute. From freezing rain to flooding potential Tuesday evening with areas of heavy rain (possibly thunder) and snow melt.
Some model guidance suggests accumulating snow is a possibility as cold air returns to the state Wednesday. But there is high uncertainty on whether or not this will come to fruition. There is higher confidence on new record low temperatures Thursday and Friday before a weekend warm up.
Stay safe if you're traveling this evening – Sean Ash
The meteorological start of spring begins with a bang. At 2pm snowfall storm totals were in the 5″ to 8″+ range throughout Central Indiana. The National Weather Service in Indianapolis relayed a 7.8″ storm total with 5.8″ since midnight. This marks the city's snowiest March 1st on record, its snowiest "day" since February 4th, 2014 (6.8″ and snowiest March day since 3-11-2000 (8.1″).
Another burst of snow is in progress and will drop 1-2″ within heavier pockets along the I-70/74 corridors. This will be quick hitter and occurs while temperatures are closer to freezing. This will help salt and plowing to be more effective. This burst departs by 8pm and then we'll focus on roads refreezing overnight as temperatures drop into the lower and middle teens.
Monday is quiet but another system quickly arrives by sunrise Tuesday and brings a threat of ice, heavy rain and snow accumulations. Latest guidance comes in colder with this feature and we'll need to monitor closely for travel, ice and flooding impacts. An updated 7 day forecast coming shortly – Sean Ash
Snow And More Record To Come This WeekPosted By
Central Indiana had one of its coldest mornings of the winter. Record lows happened all across the state from -6 in Indianapolis to -18 in Columbus.
Sunshine proved to be deceiving again with afternoon temperatures in the lower to middle 20s. Unfortunately it never felt that warm due to blustery southwest wind that's gusting up to 25-35mph. Snow bursts remain possible this evening and overnight with the arrival of our latest Arctic front.
Temperatures near single digits Wednesday morning with wind chills near zero. Not as harsh as the past few days, but certainly significantly below normal for late February.
Highs tomorrow return to the mid-20s with morning sun giving way to increase in cloud cover.
A clipper system brings a return to snow, albeit light, Wednesday night into the Thursday morning commute. A fluffy 1 to 2 inches is possible and it comes at a bad time. With temperatures in the lower teens tomorrow night we're anticipating a slick commute Thursday morning. We'll update the next 24 hours.
More record temperatures may fall later this week. The record cold "high" Thursday (11/1963) and Friday (17/1934)… and the record low Friday (-7/1963) and Saturday (2/1993) are all in jeopardy. This continues the theme of our frigid February… which will be one of the coldest in Central Indiana since the late 1970s.
Long range guidance today comes in with a colder solution in regards to the weekend system we're following. This would up the ante for a wintry mix and/or snow to bring in March on Sunday. Stay tuned for updates – Sean Ash
Record Lows Possible TonightPosted By
Sunshine was certainly deceiving today in Central Indiana with afternoon highs between 20 and 25 degrees below normal for late February. The clouds and steadier wind that saved the region from record lows last night will not be around this evening.
As a result temperatures should quickly plummet after sunset and many locations will be in single digits by 8pm.
Due to 10+ degree temperature bust we had last night (and this afternoon) we're being conservative forecast lows tonight. Though frigid… the numbers on the map are below are being "modeled" significantly colder by recent hi-resolution output. Please note changes are possible by the 11pm news and Angela Buchman will adjust accordingly.
Either way tonight and Tuesday morning are bitter. Since temperatures are already 10 to 15 colder than 24 hours ago, it appears the record low in Indianapolis (-2 / 1990) stands a decent chance of falling tonight. We have a forecast low of -3 for the city with wind chills tomorrow morning back in the -10 to -20 range. Not a pleasant start at the bus stop or walking into work.
Afternoon highs tomorrow shoot into the mid and upper 20s courtesy of a blustery southwest wind that gusts to nearly 25-30mph. Morning sunshine gives way to clouds with the possibility of flurries and snow showers with an Arctic front by sunset.
This front reinforces the already colder than normal conditions and paves the way for what may end being Indianapolis' coldest February on record since 1979. This month likely ends in the Top 5 coldest Februaries on record and may surpass February of 2007 for 3rd place.
The week finishes with near record cold "highs" Thursday and Friday. The weekend begins bitter but finishes warmer, and wetter with a wintry mix/cold rain likely Sunday to begin March. Stay tuned for updates – Sean Ash
Temperatures Sunday peaked in the upper 20s and that's as warm as we'll be until Tuesday afternoon. Temperatures tonight likely shatter record low levels for Monday's date. Our Indianapolis forecast low is -6 and the record is -1 set in 1889.
The northerly wind coming off Lake Michigan occasionally produces scattered flurries and snow showers. A few slick spots are likely in any heavier showers that develop.
A Wind Chill Advisory begins at midnight for all of Central Indiana and we anticipate wind chills Monday morning in the -10 to -20 range. "Highs" tomorrow will struggle to hit double digits and will be some 30 degrees below normals for late February.
"Highs" tomorrow will struggle to hit double digits and will be some 30 degrees below normals for late February.
The frigid finish tomorrow sets the stage for another record-breaking night. Lows Tuesday morning shatter records with forecast lows in the -5 to locally -20 range. Highs Tuesday return to the 20s but comes with a blustery southwest wind too.
Another Arctic front passes the region Wednesday to deliver near record temperatures Thursday and Friday. Long range guidance suggests a warmer set up next weekend and possibly a very wet Sunday. Stay tuned for updates this week – Sean Ash
Many of you are waking up to at least 4″ of snowfall this morning, with several mores to go. Officially the National Weather Office is up to 4.1″… marking the city's heaviest snowfall since Valentine's Day of 2014 (5.5″).
Based on radar trends, and what's already fallen, we've upped the snowfall forecast in southern Indiana to reflect to lack of sleet up to this point. Bottom line is that a big chunk of the viewing area will receive between 5″ and 7″… with locally heavier amounts very likely.
Snowfall rates should taper area wide by 8am with a secondary surge of snow anticipated late morning into early afternoon. By then temperatures should be in the upper 20s and lower 30s and salt will be much more effective. However this morning roadways are snow covered and very slick. Travel will be challenging until snow rates ease and the sun comes up.
Snowfall ends by 5pm this afternoon and the focus shifts to more record-breaking cold next week. Kelly Greene and I are on air from 6am to 10am this morning, with cut-ins during the Today Show from 7am-8am. Be safe – Sean Ash

They want to teach the world to sing
The Telegraph (UK):
A short walk from St Paul's Cathedral lies St Anne and St Agnes church. Designed by Sir Christopher Wren, it is a cavernous place with a hint of history in the air; it is here that the great poet John Milton used to pray.
In 2013, its worshippers left to join another congregation, and the church was falling on hard times. But new life now courses through its pews. Walk past at any time of day, and you are likely to hear soaring choral music echoing from inside. And it's singing with a difference.
The church, renamed the Gresham Centre, has been taken over by the vocal ensemble Voces8, and repurposed as an "international centre for vocal excellence and outreach".
"It is being renovated and upgraded, and when it is finished it will be glorious," says baritone Paul Smith, 32, one of the founders of the Voces8 group. "But we're not waiting for that. It is already open as a rehearsal and recital venue, and we are already running workshops pretty much every day."
This is characteristic of the unusual energy and commitment that underpins Voces8. The group is a multi-award-winning classical singing ensemble in its own right. It has recently signed a deal with the Decca Classics label and released its first album, Eventide.
But the singers' own careers are only one aspect of the Voces8 project. "We really believe in the power that music has to benefit people's lives," says Andrea Haines, 27, one of the group's two sopranos.
"The group is run by a charity that we set up in 2006, and our main goal is to bring the joy of singing to as many people as possible. Voces8 is just the flagship ensemble, the figurehead."
The church has now become the hub of a musical outreach project that reaches more than 20,000 people around the world each year.

Steve Zegree dies
Stephen Zegree, former Western Michigan University music professor and director of the vocal jazz ensemble Gold Company, died this morning at his home in Bloomington, Indiana.
Zegree, 61, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer this fall. He began hospice care recently.
Zegree taught at Western Michigan University for 34 years before leaving in 2012 to join the faculty at Indiana University. While at Western, he was the WMU Bobby McFerrin Distinguished Professor of Music, he taught piano and vocal jazz, performed with the Western Jazz Quartet, and was the director of the popular vocal jazz ensemble Gold Company.
Under his direction, Gold Company won almost 50 Outstanding Performance awards from DownBeat magazine and the group performed at major jazz festivals and events such as the International Association for Jazz Education and the World Symposium on Choral Music. The group also performed with artists such as Bobby McFerrin, Janis Siegel, Kurt Elling and John Hendricks. Read more.
How sad to lose another vocal jazz great. I had the pleasure of working with Steve on several occasions and he truly was a gracious and kind man.

Stile Antico shows authority in Hapsburg music
Boston Globe:
How long should an ensemble be called "young"? The ensemble in question is Stile Antico, the British vocal ensemble founded in 2001. However short its lifespan in comparison with similar groups — the Tallis Scholars, for example — there is nothing underdeveloped about its collective talent or the distinctiveness of its approach. By now, "authoritative" is probably a more accurate label, regardless of how long Stile Antico has been in the game.
For its latest appearance in the Boston Early Music Festival series, the group brought most of its latest recording. "From the Imperial Court" samples 15th- and 16th-century works composed for the Hapsburgs, the political dynasty that ruled various parts of Europe from the 11th century through the First World War.
For all the program's ceremonial grandeur, its most eloquent moments came in lamentational works, such as Josquin des Prez's "Mille regretz," with its austere four-voice texture. In an act of homage, Nicolas Gombert took Josquin's melody and fashioned the text into a more involved polyphonic motet without losing the darkness of the original. Perhaps most affecting was Alonso Lobo's "Versa est in luctum" ("My harp is tuned in mourning"), with its slow-moving harmonies and almost radiant sense of despair.
Stile Antico sang the Lobo with an unerring, lyrical feel for the music's phrases, sustaining them while retaining transparency and rock-solid intonation. The ensemble showed similar virtues everywhere else in the performance: The unexpected roughness that I heard last year had vanished, and the group is again at its vital best. The singing creates a glorious sonic tapestry, but the depth of collective musicianship reminds you that these works, even those aimed at flattering the powerful, are not merely beautiful sound but something akin to living organisms.

Delta Airlines a cappella ad
Just caught this ad for Delta Airlines which I think its one of the best use of a cappella in a commercial I have seen in awhile. It is probably session singers (in NY I believe) but I wonder who arranged it?

Manhattan Transfer soldiers on in honor of founder Tim Hauser
Cleveland Plain Dealer:
For almost 40 years, Cheryl Bentyne and her friends in the Manhattan Transfer got used to seeing their founder and friend, Tim Hauser just about every day. And just like that, he's gone. Hauser, who was driving a cab when he founded the group back in New York in 1969, died of cardiac arrest last October. He was 72.
"It's still surreal, kind of,'' said Bentyne, who joined the band in 1979, in a call from her Los Angeles home. "It hasn't quite hit yet, and yet we've been doing shows with Trist Curless. I keep expecting to see Tim walk out onstage, or see him in the lobby, waiting for us.''
Bentyne admitted that the band, which plays sold-out Nighttown on Friday, Feb. 13, as part of the club's 50th anniversary year celebration, contemplated calling it quits after Hauser's death.
"There were all kinds of thoughts running through our heads,'' she said. "He STARTED the group. But we want to keep singing and we want to keep the legacy alive, which is what he would absolutely want. "He built this from the ground up, and to walk away from it really wasn't an option,'' she said.
What helped, she said, was having Curless to step in. He'd already filled in as the bass from time to time during Hauser's illnesses, so they were all acquainted with him.
"If anyone could walk in his place, Trist is the guy to do it,'' said Bentyne. And she was effusive in her praise for how he handled a tough situation. He would let the three surviving members -- Bentyne, Janis Siegel and Alan Paul -- walk out onstage and talk to the audience about their loss, their love for Hauser and their affection for Curless.
Curless, who came to the band from an a cappella vocal group called M-Pact, has taken over Hauser's parts, but his experience as a beat-boxer doing rhythms with M-Pact has added another dimension to Manhattan Transfer's sound.
"Trist can be a drum, he can be a bass,'' Bentyne said. "His job in M-Pact is that beat-box thing that Tim didn't focus on, so we have a built-in orchestra now.''
This really is a perfect match! Tim left huge shoes to fill and Trist is one of the few who can fill them.

A Cappella at the Grammys
Huge congratulations to Pentatonix for winning the first ever Grammy in the new category of "Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Cappella" for their arrangement of Daft Punk on their CD release PTX, Vol 2. They also got to present a Grammy along with Barry Gibb who knows a bit about vocal harmony himself. The other a cappella winner of the night was Craig Hella Johnson with his choir Conspirare who won the Best Choral Performance category. Very pleased to see Tim Hauser mentioned in the Those We Lost section but VERY disappointing there was no mention of Ward Swingle, especially considering he won five Grammys including Best New Artist. There were sadly many great names on that list this year but Ward certainly deserved to be one of them.

Roomful Of Teeth's Vision To Be Known As Band, Not A Choir
When singers sing together, unaccompanied, it sometimes feel like a minor miracle, some sleight-of-hand or hidden alchemy at work: Without frets, keyboards, mechanical levers, measured blasts of voltage or skins to tighten or loosen, how do they pull it off? How do singers stay together, in tune, through mind-boggling harmonic changes and hyperactive counterpoint, and still manage to land on their collective feet?
Roomful of Teeth, a N.Y.C-based eight-member vocal ensemble, takes that core mystery, rides it out to the nearest cliff and tosses it over the edge. Not content to vocalize within usual Western-music parameters, or to borrow extended techniques from composer Meredith Monk (one of their main influences), they scour the globe for ways to expand their sonic palette: multiphonic Tuvan throat-singing, Appalachian yodeling, Hindustani and Persian classical vocal techniques, and so on. They also grunt, growl, sing drones, chant, bray like '70s rock stars or croon like Broadway divas. It's all in play.
Nor are they happy just to arrange pre-existing music; Roomful of Teeth only performs pieces written just for them, or else they write their own. One of their internal compositions, Caroline Shaw's four-movement "Partita for 8 Voices," won the 2013 Pulitzer Prize in Music — arguably the most prestigious award a composer can win. Their self-titled debut features music by hot young composers — William Brittelle, Caleb Burhans, Judd Greenstein, Sarah Kirkland Snider, Rinde Eckert, Tuneyard's Merrill Garbus and Shaw herself — and won a Grammy Award in 2014 for Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance. On the way to becoming one of the premier new-music vocal groups in the country, they've also found favor with the Pitchfork crowd and NPR listeners. It's all perfectly in keeping with founding director Brad Wells' vision of a band, "not an f-ing choir."

This is a well known historical building in Gothenburg, well worth a visit, really fresh fish and some nice restaurants, a bit on the expensive side though. On a sunny day you can come here and buy a packed lunch and walk to the Bothanical garden and have a lovely picnic.
Interesting place to visit - mostly if you like fish :)) I am not sure if it was church once, but now it is just a cool fish market L:)
Had a wonderful fresh shellfish salad in the lower part of the hall. My husband enjoyed his selection of marinated herrings too. I agree it probably is more for tourists than locals as most of our fellow diners seemed to be foreigners but we really enjoyed our food. The only minor irritation is the fact you need to have a...
Once upon a time this was a really nice and authentic fish market. Somewhat of a showcase for Gothenburg. But not anymore. Nowadays it's a Tourist trap, with only a few fish stands, not very fresh fish, shrimps, etc. and expensive. Living in Gothenburg, I am sad not being able to recommend the Fish Church.
We enjoyed our lunch there. It was cold outside but really warm and friendly. Great place in the centre of the city!
Good quality of food and a lot of smell i the air from the smal shops with sometimes exclusive good stuff to buy and enjoy of. really a part of Gothenburg to visit to get to know quality grosserys as an alternative for boring supermarkets
Shaped like a Church, gave the building its name 140 years ago. Open Tuesday- Saturday, the Indoor market offers seafood delicacies from the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean as well as an exclusive restaurant on the second floor.
It is named Fish Church only because the building resembles a church, it has nothing to do with a real church. Inside there are fish restaurants, you can also buy fish and shellfish to bring home. There is also readily prepared lunch that you can take out. In the summer or on a warm day you can sit outside and...
If you want to see all the best food the ocean can give us, go to see this market! You'll be surprised to find all seafood possible and some delicatessen ready to be taken home!
This is a really nice place to visit specially if you love fish... By some shrimps and sit outside and eat them directly on the channel side under the seagulls jealousy screem... A lot of couple get married here... just feel the atmosphere that you really are in the west coast!

Portland Bill

Portland Bill - world famous because of its picturesque and wild location. The lighthouse is perhaps the most photographed feature on Portland.

The first proposal to build a lighthouse at Portland Bill was made in 1669 but it wasn't until 29th September 1716 that the first coal-fired lamp shone out from where the upper lighthouse now stands.
The coal had to be drawn by horse and cart from the ships at Castletown on the furthest northern part of Portland. There was then no track to Portland Bill and in the winter the coal often did not arrive and the fire in the lighthouse went out.
The Trinity House examiners were appalled at this situation and they arranged for the present 'Higher Lighthouse' to be built. The lamp was fired using oil; this being the first lighthouse in Britain to be so lit.
In 1789 a second lighthouse was built where the lower - bird observatory - lighthouse now stands.
The main lighthouse on 'The Bill' was built and first shone out on 11th January 1906.
Please click here for an excellent article about the lighthouse.
On the left the stars of Orion shine above the 'new' Portland Bill Lighthouse in January 1990. The pinkish object in Orion's sword is the Orion Nebula where millions of stars are being created from interstellar gas and dust. This picture was taken from the Portland Bill car-park at 2 a.m. on a freezing winter's morning. I won a £15 prize with this picture awarded by the magazine 'Astronomy Now' in 1990. It was almost worth nearly freezing to death!
On the right the lighthouse appears to be shining but it is only the sun glinting through the optics in this carefully positioned picture.
Two more unusual pictures of the 'new' lighthouse. On the left Portland Bill Lighthouse is swathed in scaffolding and polythene undergoing a facelift, 1990. On the right we see the moon rising early one winter's morning..
On the left this old lamp holder from Portland Bill lighthouse can be seen in the Portland Museum close by Pennsylvania Castle in Wakeham. The ship in the old picture on the right has probably been superimposed for artistic effect.
The Pulpit Rock is a man-made feature created in Victorian times.
It was intended to have the appearance of a bible opened and leaning on a pulpit. In the 19th century many Portlanders were fiercely religious and followed a variety of sects; many having sprung from a visit by John Wesley.
By the turn of the 20th century churches and meeting halls - such as the 'Ranters' Lodge' on Chesil - housed worshippers of many generally non-conformist groups such as Wesleyan Methodist Church, Primitive Methodist Church, Congregational Church, Bible Christian Connexion, Salvation Army, Zionists, The Brethren as well as the conformist and Catholic religious groups.
The picture below shows a group of worthy Portlanders who attended the Zion Chapel in Weston around 1900. Beards were very much a status symbol in those far off days!
OK! So that's me in the late 1980s but I was young and foolish in those days. Do what I say - not what I do!
In the rock near the Pulpit someone has carved their name. The graffiti reads "B Low 1890" - Victorian graffiti has a rarity and interest value that modern graffiti will not acquire.
People climbed on Pulpit Rock even in Victorian times!
The Ministry of Defence magnetic test range at Portland Bill and, in the foreground, the famous 'Portland Raised Beach'.
This latter was created during a warm inter-glacial climate change about 200,000 years ago when sea levels were about 15 metres above present levels. Above the fossil beach is a thick layer of wind-blown sand capped with limestone rubble deposited during the Arctic conditions of the last Ice Age. Further details of this raised beach may be found here. There is also an excellent accessible guide to the Raised Beach and the geology of the Portland Bill area here.
The whole of Portland Bill has been shaped by quarrying. The two pictures below show the quarrying activity in the 1930s and the effect on the present landscape.
The following pictures show quarrying activity in the early 1900s.
Before the 'new' lighthouse was built in 1906 there were tramways running over the area of Portland Bill. The old map above shows a tramway which ran to the 'Red Crane'. Traces of this tramway can still be seen.
Stone blocks were used to support the tramway rails and these are still visible. The run from south of the lighthouse and go under the buildings to emerge near to the Lobster Pot Cafe. The track then ran in a gulley until it reached the cliff edge and the crane.
The tramway ran to the right of the cafe and beach huts to the Red Crane.
These tramway rails were exposed by a storm in the 1990s.
The 'Red Crane' in the early 1980s.
The above excellent photograph was taken in 1966 and is copyright John Wray and licensed for reuse under this Creative Commons Licence.
In those days it was used to haul fishermen's boats into and out of the water. A few years after I took this picture the crane was destroyed by a vandal with a chainsaw after a local dispute. It was replaced by a metal crane.
Vandalism is a popular pastime on Portland. One of many other Portland features that have drawn the attention of gangs of vandals and arsonists has been Lano's Bridge in Tout Quarry which was attacked with heavy equipment with the intention of completely destroying it.
Portland vandalism is not just about Graffiti and throwing stones through windows - although that happens on Portland as anywhere. On Portland vandals go out equipped with crowbars, chainsaws, sledgehammers and fire raising material to cause destruction on an industrial scale.
Please click here to see a really excellent picture of the crane in action. Return here using your browser BACK button.
The Cosy Cafe photographed in the early 1990s
The Lobster Pot Restaurant photographed in the early 1990s
In October 2002 a planning application was submitted to demolish "The Cosy Cafe" - for long a familiar landmark at Portland Bill. By April 2003 it was gone leaving just the "Lobster Pot Restaurant" whose website is here.
This looks like a terrible outbreak of pollution but it was a rare but natural phenomenon.
ECLIPSE OF THE SUN, 11th AUGUST 1999
There was a total eclipse of the Sun in the South-West of England on this day; an event I had been eagerly awaiting since I was a small child. I first saw a prediction of this event in about 1950. It seemed (and really was) a lifetime away and I really hoped I would live long enough to see it.
The southernmost point in Dorset - Portland Bill - the northern limit of totality for the eclipse was predicted to pass just one kilometre south of Portland Bill but that was out at sea.
The weather forecast was bad and did not improve as 'Eclipse Day' approached. I opted to stay in Dorset.
My partner and I cycled the 18 kilometres to Portland Bill from our house. Even if the eclipse was not total, being less that 1,000 metres from the northern limit meant that the sky would get spectacularly dark and it might even be possible to see the 'Bailey's Beads' phenomenon as the limb of the Sun passed along the mountains and valleys of the Moon's limb. Indeed, some observers deliberately place themselves in this very narrow zone where the limb of the Sun flickers down the valleys on the Moon's limb.
Through the clouds we got glimpses of the crescent Sun - that was when it really got exciting! The eclipse I had been waiting for over six decades to see was underway!
Cars were jammed all over Portland; their drivers desperate to get as far south as possible. By the time my partner and I arrived at the southern tip of Portland every field was full of cars - never previously had local farmers had such a financial bonanza! These fields were normally deserted and barren.
By the time we and two friends arrived it was getting significantly dark. As the time of the eclipse approached the cloud was continuous. There is a very atmospheric photograph of this time here.
However, we saw a dark patch on the horizon in the west which was moving towards us. It got larger, the surroundings quickly dimmed to almost perfect darkness and the huge black stain on the clouds moved quickly past us to the south. It was then so dark that only the immediate ground about us could be seen and the beams of Portland Bill lighthouse shone out. Cheering broke out despite the obscuration of the clouds and a large group of Hell's Angels revved up their bikes to show their appreciation of this spectacle.
The picture above was taken by me at the mid-eclipse showing how dark the scenery became despite not quite being in the track of totality. The light to the left is the lantern of Portland Bill lighthouse.

Joseph E. Stiglitz: A Tax System Stacked Against the 99 Percenttags: NYT, taxes, tax reform, Tax Day, progressive income tax, Joseph E. Stiglitz
Joseph E. Stiglitz is an economist and professor at Columbia University.
LEONA HELMSLEY, the hotel chain executive who was convicted of federal tax evasion in 1989, was notorious for, among other things, reportedly having said that "only the little people pay taxes."
As a statement of principle, the quotation may well have earned Mrs. Helmsley, who died in 2007, the title Queen of Mean. But as a prediction about the fairness of American tax policy, Mrs. Helmsley's remark might actually have been prescient.
Today, the deadline for filing individual income-tax returns, is a day when Americans would do well to pause and reflect on our tax system and the society it creates. No one enjoys paying taxes, and yet all but the extreme libertarians agree, as Oliver Wendell Holmes said, that taxes are the price we pay for civilized society. But in recent decades, the burden for paying that price has been distributed in increasingly unfair ways....
What should shock and outrage us is that as the top 1 percent has grown extremely rich, the effective tax rates they pay have markedly decreased. Our tax system is much less progressive than it was for much of the 20th century. The top marginal income tax rate peaked at 94 percent during World War II and remained at 70 percent through the 1960s and 1970s; it is now 39.6 percent. Tax fairness has gotten much worse in the 30 years since the Reagan "revolution" of the 1980s....
