JONNY on the Spot- A conversation with blues-rock icon JONNY LANG
by admin on Jun.20, 2010, under interviews
The first time I witnessed the phenomona that is Jonny Lang was 13 years ago at an outdoor amphitheatre in Hartford, CT. Jonny was a mere 16 years old, and already on his way to becoming the world's next great guitar virtuoso. The year was 1997… now 5 albums, several tours, and a Grammy later, Jonny helps fill in the blanks of his life since then. Kid Jonny and I spoke about the Grammy's, God, and a certain Idol he also worships.
AWAY-TEAM: First of all, congratulations on your new album "Live at the Ryman" which came out on April 20th. Great album, I've been listening to it quite a bit.
JONNY LANG: Aw man, thank you.
AWAY-TEAM: I really enjoy it. I've been a fan of yours for a while. But, I know you've been wanting to do a live album for a good while…why the Ryman Auditorium? What made you choose that as the venue for your first ever live album?
JONNY LANG: Well there's a few reasons. Probably the main one just being, we had a good show that night, um. And we had been recording most of our shows leading up to that, and that happened to be the one that, ya know turned out to be the best out of the ones that we had recorded, so. But also just the fact that it's the Ryman, it's a historic venue, and it was such a great place to play, ya know, so I'm glad it turned out to be that particular show just because of that, ya know.
AWAY-TEAM: So uh, one of the things people really enjoy about your work, aside from your voice, is watching you play guitar, and just kinda watching a craftsman at work. Is there any chance we may get an accompanying DVD of this performance sometime down the road?
JONNY LANG: You know, there was no video shot at that show, but we are looking to do a live DVD thing in the near future here so… I'm not sure exactly when that would come out, but yeah that's in the works.
AWAY-TEAM: Cool. I'll keep my eye out for that… Your current tour, it's called "Live By Request", has somewhat of a unique format. Tell me about that.
JONNY LANG: Well basically it's just a um, we kinda had this idea that people could write in to the website, tell us which show they're going to, and then request the songs they would like to hear for the night. Then we tally up the number of votes for whatever songs were requested and pick the top three or four or whatever, and then do those. Sometimes it ends up being some of the same songs we've been playing over the past few years, but sometimes people pick older songs, earlier back in the catalog and we'll throw those in the set. So it's just kind of a fun thing to switch it up a little, ya know.
AWAY-TEAM: Right. So you said that you kinda tally up the votes on that, so do you get to see all of the songs? Have you seen any really cool songs that anyone's requested that may not particularly be your song, but you said "Wow, I've never really played that live before, it'd be pretty cool."?
JONNY LANG: Yeah, I think people are just trying to be a little funny (laughs). They'll put in a Lynyrd Skynyrd song like "Free Bird"…
AWAY-TEAM: (laughs)
JONNY LANG: But uh, you know nothing really that out of the ordinary or strange. No Steely Dan requests or anything like that, so. (laughs)
AWAY-TEAM: How about, I know you used to play a little Jimi Hendrix when you first started out. Any of that coming back at all?
JONNY LANG: Ya know, not really. Um, yeah we used to do "Spanish Castle Magic". No, we haven't done that in a while, but that's a good idea, we might do that one.
AWAY-TEAM: Yeah, I actually remember you playing that. The first time I ever saw you play, was back in 1997, it was at what was then the Meadows Music Theatre in Hartford, CT. You were about 16 at the time, and opening up for Aerosmith, and I remember saying to myself "Man, this kid's only 16, and not only is he opening up for one of the greatest rock bands in the world, he's actually giving 'em a run for their money". I was just blown away by your performance. What was it like back then, when you found out your first big tour was gonna be with those guys? Were you intimidated? Excited?
JONNY LANG: Man, just excited. And ya know they didn't really give us a reason to be intimidated, they were all just so nice to us. Yeah, they were just really great guys, and it was just fun. It was a blast.
AWAY-TEAM: Speaking of young talent, your younger sister Jessica (Jesse Langseth) was actually a semi-finalist on Season 8 of American Idol. Has she been coming to you for advice or help? Or is she more of a "If I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do it on my own" type of person?
JONNY LANG: You know, she's really smart. And uh, she's very street smart too, and socially very capable. So…she doesn't need much help from big brother, but yeah we talk about stuff like that. But yeah she's got her head screwed on pretty good, so.
AWAY-TEAM: Any chance we might see you working together in the future?
JONNY LANG: Oh yeah. There's always a chance of that. Ya know, she's um, she's kinda I think taking a little bit of a break from the music thing at the moment. But, it's her passion. It's what she loves to do, so I'm sure she'll be doing it for the rest of her life, on and off at least.
AWAY-TEAM: Hey, that's great. She's got the drive…..Now, back to tour mates, and collaborations. You've toured and collaborated with people from all genres of music. Ya know, from The Rolling Stones, to Buddy Guy, BB King, Sting, you've even played Crossroads with Eric Clapton. And actually most recently, you played on Cyndi Lauper's new album. Is that correct?
JONNY LANG: Yeah. Yeah man, she made an incredible album. I haven't heard the final, I guess, version of it, but. Yeah she recorded it in Memphis, and it's basically, ya know older soul and blues tunes, and she recorded it old school, one take-no overdubs kind of thing. Man, she understands that music incredibly well, and is singing amazingly on it. So I'm really excited for that record. We're actually doing some upcoming television shows for that record. (June 22nd and 24th, on The Howard Stern Show, and Regis and Kelly, respectively)
AWAY-TEAM: Yeah, I thought it was a really cool little twist for her music. That was pretty cool.
JONNY LANG: Yeah dude, she's a deep, she's a real deep person. A true artist, ya know.
AWAY-TEAM: Well if you could choose one person, from any genre, that you haven't worked with, to do a collaboration with, who would it be?
JONNY LANG: Man… It's a tie between James Taylor and Stevie Wonder I'd say. Those two, that would be just a dream come true.
AWAY-TEAM: Wow, that would make for a great project.
JONNY LANG: Yeah, they're my favorites.
AWAY-TEAM: Now back in 2000, you tragically lost your bassist Doug Nelson, right around that same time you kinda found your faith. You were drinking heavily, and doing a little bit of drugs, and then thankfully found God. Was Doug's death ultimately what set you on that path? Or when did you sort of hit "rock bottom" and decide it was time to turn things around?
JONNY LANG: Man, I really didn't have a like "rock bottom" experience per se, I was loving the partying and stuff like that. So it was more that God just kinda stopped me in my tracks so to speak. But, yeah you know what, Doug's death happened a while after I kinda, I guess started my relationship with God. It definitely affected my life, ya know he was a close friend, and a great guy, and when you lose somebody close to you it gives you a good healthy check on how important life is, and ya know, makes you realize what things are important, and what things you're kinda just wasting your time with. But yeah, he was a great friend, and just a great guy.
AWAY-TEAM: The album "Turn Around", which came out in 2006, earned you a Grammy for Best Gospel Album. That was actually your last studio album, so when can we expect some new JONNY LANG?
JONNY LANG: I've kinda started working on the next studio record, and it's still in the trying to figure out where it's going stage, I guess. Stylistically, I'm trying to figure it out. I've never written so many songs before, so there's tons of songs to pick from, and uh. It's weird, every album cycle is different, it's a different experience, and this one is just kinda moving slow for some reason. Sometimes it happens right away, and sometimes it doesn't, ya know. I guess the main goal is to come up with something that is, you don't wanna compromise the quality of it just to get it out there, so I try to make a good record no matter how long it takes. (laughs)
AWAY-TEAM: That's important. Now, you said that you were searching stylistically for what this new album's gonna be like. Should we be looking for something closer to the Gospel on "Turn Around" or closer to your roots on "Lie to Me"?
JONNY LANG: Um, man, I really don't know, actually. I think it's gonna end up being more of a fusion of like soul music and um, I guess just it'll be more about the songwriting. Ya know it might be more about the songs on this one, than the last one…if that makes sense.
AWAY-TEAM: So more stress on the lyrics, as opposed to the actual musical composition?
JONNY LANG: I think both. But I think, it may be a little bit more intricate, as far as the musical arrangement and the lyrics go, ya know. A little bit more of a crafted album, if that makes sense. So, at least for me, (laughs) take a little bit more time with it.
AWAY-TEAM: Well I'm certainly looking forward to it. I know you've done a little bit of acting in the past, as well. You were in "Blues Brothers 2000″, and an episode of "The Drew Carey Show", that was all back in 1998. Can we expect to see…
JONNY LANG: (laughs) I don't know if it was acting. It was more like just standing there trying to not look like an idiot. (laughing) But, yeah man. (laughs)
AWAY-TEAM: (laughing) So you might've just answered my question. So, no more acting in your future? Is that right?
JONNY LANG: Probably not. Man it terrifies the life out of me. I am not a natural born actor, for sure. It scares me. (laughs)
AWAY-TEAM: I mean you play in front of 20-30,000, and it's like second nature, but I guess acting is just a whole different realm, huh?
JONNY LANG: I guess so man. I guess when you're on a stage and you're kinda far away from people, you feel like you're kinda isolated in a weird way. It's not as nerve-wracking for some reason in my mind.
AWAY-TEAM: Well, one more question…you now live in California, and your manager Greg Classen, like myself, is from Massachusetts. Who's gonna win Game 7 tonight Celtics or Lakers?
JONNY LANG: (laughing) Oh boy…well, being a guy who's from Minnesota, as far as sports go anyway, I don't really have a team, although I do live in L.A. Ya know, I don't know man, it's such a good series, I would love to see Boston win. Just because, that particular L.A. team has had such a good record, so it'd be nice to see Boston win for a change.
AWAY-TEAM: I knew I liked you for a reason. (laughs)
JONNY LANG: (laughs) Yeah dude, I think I really like Boston a bit, because they're more of like "street ballers". They're like more rough, ya know, rough around the edges. So I kinda like that, I like their style. But who knows man, it's gonna be a good one. (Sadly, I was hoping for Jonny to get his wish. And we all know what happened. Dammit.)
AWAY-TEAM: Well, hey man, thank you so much for your time. It's been a great honor to speak with you…
JONNY LANG: Aw, thanks man.
AWAY-TEAM: Unfortunately, this last time you came around, just recently you were here in Ft. Lauderdale, and I was unable to make it out to the show. but I'll certainly be there next time you pass through Florida.
JONNY LANG: Yeah dude, if you come out man, come back and say hey.
AWAY-TEAM: I sure will…
JONNY LANG: Call Greg, or the label, or something, and come back and get hooked up man.
AWAY-TEAM: Hey, if you wanna beat up on someone on the links (Jonny had just finished up on the golf course when we spoke) too ya know I'm free there.
JONNY LANG: Oh dude, let's do it. I need a golf partner man, nobody here plays golf, so I usually end up playing by myself. So that'd be cool man.
AWAY-TEAM: I don't know if what I do is called golf, but I'll sure try. (laughs)
JONNY LANG: (laughs) Cool man, that sounds good.
AWAY-TEAM: Well, hey man, thanks again, and like I said, next time you're around I'll definitely make it a point to get together with you. Hopefully we'll be talking about another Grammy here.
JONNY LANG: (laughs) I hope so man. (laughs)
AWAY-TEAM: Alright brother, well good luck tonight with the show, and with the rest of your tour, and hopefully we'll be talking soon.
JONNY LANG: Thank you man. Thank you. Take care.
AWAY-TEAM: Take it easy.
JONNY LANG: Bye.

This top is very stylish. It is a perfect combination of the peplum style and color blocking. The material is also very soft and comfortable. I would also like to see this top in a cobalt blue and black.
July 27, 2013
This is a classy, sophisticated top. I did have to size up as my normal size was too snug in the bust. Very well made and quality material. My third Limited peplum shirt!
July 25, 2013
Great Fit
This top let's me show off my curves while maintaining professionalism. Fits perfectly, good quality.
July 25, 2013
Classic Look
I really like this top. It is a great classic look and can be used to dress up jeans or to wear with dressy black pants. I am not always a fan of peplum since it can hit the hips at a bad place and make you look wider than you actually are. This top hits in a good spot on the body for a slimming look. I was in between a Small and Medium because of bust size. I liked the fit in the waist of the small but had to go up because of it being too tight in the chest. Overall love this top.
July 11, 2013
So Flattering!
I love, love, love this top! I have a pear shaped figure so I carry all of my weight in my belly and hips. I'm smaller on top. The white accentuated my best features while the black downplayed my hips! It is incredibly flattering!
I wish they had this in different colors. I would buy them all!
June 23, 2013
Wanted to Love
When I saw this shirt online I couldn't wait to get to the store to try it. They carried up to a large in store and it fit but was short on me and it didn't look like a peplum top from the front. It just looked like an extra piece of fabric hanging down. It was a little longer in the back and hand more of the cute peplum top look. I thought about ordering a size up online thinking that it may be a little longer, but with the review on washing and it not looking quite right on me in the other size I had to let love of this top go. I feel that if you have a shorter waist and not much for curves or bust this could look adorable.
June 6, 2013
Fabric bleeds everywhere!!!
Wore this once and loved the fit! Washed it, and had to throw it away. White portion of the top came out full of black streaks because the black dye of the top went all over it. I tried to bleach just the white part, and the top turned out looking like a mess. It was in teh trash by the end of it all. I am a loyal Limited shopper spending hundreds of dollars every month because I LOVE their clothes. This top??? Very disappointed.
June 4, 2013
Keeps shape
I have this one in Blue from a few seasons ago and I'm happy to report that it's kept it's shape and color. I do get it dry-cleaned, but even after taking wearing it (for days in a row and wading it up in my suitcase) while in India, I was surprised to see that it again came back from the cleaners looking brand new.

Joke of the day
Every man needs a go-to joke.
Runny Noodle This lady is on an airplane and is seated next to a man named Ian McKegney. About half an hour after they take off, Ian sneezes. He calmly opens his fly, takes out his penis and wipes it with a handkerchief. The lady was shocked but a little too shy to say anything. About 15 minutes later, Ian sneezes again and once more opens his fly, grabs his penis and wipes it off. The lady could not believe it, and being too shy to say anything, she thinks to herself, If he does that again, I'm definitely going to mention something. Well, guess what? About 10 minutes later, Ian sneezes again and proceeds as before. She turns to Ian and says, "That is disgusting! Must you do that in front of me?" Ian apologizes and explained that it was a medical condition, "Every time I sneeze, I have an orgasm," he explains. "Really, what do you take for that?" she asks. Ian replies, "Pepper."
My Baby I recall a time when my son was about 18 months old... I had him strapped in a backpack and was rushing to catch the bus. Apparently I misstepped and fell down an entire flight of stairs (13 to be exact). I was bruised, bleeding and I tore my jeans... but my main concern was, naturally for my boy. My fears were alleviated, though, when from behind me I heard a gleeful giggle followed by, "Again!"
Bra Sizes Ever wonder why the letters A,B,C,D,E, and F are used to define bra sizes? A - Almost Boobs B - Barely there C - Can Do D - Damn good E - Enormous F - Fake
Ex Blonde A blonde living in New Zealand got tired of all the jokes and insults, so she dyed her hair brown. Life got so good that soon she was showing off how smart she really was. One day, while driving in the country, she got the urge to show off, so she stopped by a herd of sheep and said to the shepherd, "If I can guess how many sheep there are, can I have one?" The shepherd said "Go ahead." She studied the herd for a few minutes and said, "431." The amazed shepherd told her she was right and told her to take one. After a few moments, the shepherd looked at her and said, "Gimme a chance to win it back." She agreed. The shepherd said "You're not really a brunette, you're a blonde!" The blonde said, "That's right, how did you know?" The shepherd said, "Oh never mind, just give me back my dog so I can go."
The Perfect Worker 1- Bob Smith, my assistant programmer, can always be found 2- hard at work in his cubicle. Bob works independently, without 3- wasting company time talking to colleagues. Bob never 4- thinks twice about assisting fellow employees, and he always 5- finishes given assignments on time. Often he takes extended 6- measures to complete his work, sometimes skipping coffee 7- breaks. Bob is a dedicated individual who has absolutely no 8- vanity in spite of his high accomplishments and profound 9- knowledge in his field. I firmly believe that Bob can be 10- classed as a high-caliber employee, the type which cannot be 11- dispensed with. Consequently, I duly recommend that Bob be 12- promoted to executive management, and a proposal will be 13- executed as soon as possible. Addendum: That idiot was standing over my shoulder while I wrote the report sent to you earlier today. Kindly re-read only the odd numbered lines.
The Queen, The Pope The Pope and the Queen of England are on the same stage at an Anglican and Catholic commemoration. The crowd is huge. Her Majesty and His Holiness can't help but have a little rivalry -- both being figureheads and all. The Queen says to the Pope, "Did you know that with just one little wave of my hand, I can make every English person in the crowd go wild?" he doubts it, so she shows him. Sure enough, the royal-gloved wave elicits rapture and cheering from every Englishman in the crowd. Gradually, the cheering subsides. The Pope, not wanting to be outdone by someone wearing a worse frock and hat than he, considers what he could do. So the Pope says to the Queen, "Your Majesty, that was impressive. But did you know that with one little wave of MY hand I can make every Irish person in the crowd go crazy with joy? Their joy will not be a momentary display like that of your subjects, but will go deep into their hearts, and they will speak forever of this day and rejoice -- they will recount it to their grandchildren and they to their descendants." The Queen seriously doubts this, and says so... "One little wave of your hand and all Irish people will rejoice forever? Show me." So the Pope slapped her.
Babies Two storks are sitting in their nest -- a father stork and baby stork. The baby stork starts crying so the father stork tries to calm him. "Don't worry, son. Your mother will come back. She's only bringing people babies and making them happy." The next night, it's father's turn to do the job. Mother and son are sitting in the nest, and the baby stork is crying again. The mother says, "Son, your father will be back as soon as possible, but now he's bringing joy to new mommies and daddies." A few days later, the baby stork's parents are desperate because their son has been absent from the nest all night. Shortly before dawn, he returns and the parents ask him where he's been all night. The baby stork says, "Nowhere. Just scaring the hell out of college students!"

"When Pierre-Anthon realizes there is no meaning to life, the seventh-grader leaves his classroom, climbs a tree, and stays there. His classmates cannot make him come down, not even by pelting him with rocks. So to prove to Pierre-Anthon that life has meaning, the children decide to give up things of importance. The pile starts with the superficial—a fishing rod, a new pair of shoes. But as the sacrifices become more extreme, the students grow increasingly desperate to get Pierre-Anthon down, to justify their belief in meaning."

04.07.2013 /
After a tough outing on Day One of the tenth anniversary edition of the Red Bull Romaniacs Hard Enduro, KTM factory rider Jonny Walker turned his game around on Thursday to take line honors.
Jonny Walker put the tribulations of crashes, losing his GPS device and fuel issues behind him and had a great day out on the track in the Carpathian Mountains of Romania. He was first across the line after 5:50:40 hours on his KTM 300 EXC.
Day Two was faster and easier than the now notorious Day One when only a handful of the 40 professional riders finished the day but apart from one small navigational error for the young UK rider it was all systems go for Walker. He was also able to pick up about 15 minutes time on overall leader Graham Jarvis who finished in fifth place.
Walker finished in front of Spaniard Alfredo Gomes and veteran Romaniac Andreas Lettenbichler of Germany. KTM's New Zealand Romaniac veteran Chris Birch finished sixth to be up with the elite Extreme riders.
Jonny Walker: "Today was mega and I'm so happy to have won the day. I gave it everything I had and charged hard all day and was able to win by more than two minutes. Hopefully this is a step in the right direction, I'm getting closer to the podium!"
Walker took a podium third last year, which was a strong result for the young rider. Jarvis and Lettenbichler, older and much more experienced, took the top two 2012 places. Walker's top result is also an indication that he has finally put the effects of glandular fever behind him and that he is able and willing to fight with the elite in the group.
After fighting their way through the countryside, the final part of the stage took riders through a disused coal processing plant – a stark contrast to the rolling hills and forests of the Carpathians.
KTM factory rider Cristobal Guerrero was a determined finisher on Thursday after a torturous day on Wednesday when he was 15:36 hours on the trails. Teammate Ivan Cervantes did not start on Thursday after twisting his knee in Wednesday's marathon. The tenth edition of the Romaniacs will conclude on Saturday.

What's being said
Interesting analysis, with the sarbanes-oxley act in effect it will be interesting to see how this will impact companies. I work with McGladrey and there's an article on our website about SOX Act that highlights the need for a newly re-focused evaluation of internal controls that readers of this article may find it useful. @ "SOX Reset 2014" http://bit.ly/1g4aX8C

At last people seem to understand that Solaris is not dead, though we have told you that many times. There is hope. Thanx for writing this article, OS news.
Larry has invested billions in Solaris as he bought Sun to get the two key assets: Java and Solaris. That is far more money than he ever invested in Linux. And he will invest even more money now. He is going almost all-in Solaris.

It is no surprise that the Nike Max Breathe Free II has been one of the most popular women's tennis shoes over the past few years. In fact, it was my shoe of choice for my high school and college years. Nevertheless, it is the year 2012, and a little change doesn't hurt. Enter the Zoom Breathe 2K12, the latest shoe in the Air Zoom series. I was excited to try out these shoes, and as soon as the box arrived on my desk the shoes were on my feet and I was heading to the court.
So after four weeks of some intense hitting sessions along with some singles and doubles action, I have thoroughly playtested this shoe. And it did not disappoint!
There were some definite head turns as I walked to the court in my new 2K12s in the Volt colorway on the first day of the playtest. Yes, Volt is a very bright color (think neon yellow), and definitely makes a statement on and off the court, which is a plus for me. Right off the bat the shoes felt comfortable and match ready. I did not feel any stiffness, pinching or rubbing. After about two hitting sessions (around two hours total) I felt my feet were right at home, and the cushioning had molded completely around them. I have a narrow width foot and this fit was a tad on the wider side for me. When I tied my laces a little tighter my heel felt perfectly in place while the toe box still had plenty of extra room.
With the great comfort also came great ventilation. There was plenty of mesh on the upper that provided breathability. My feet tend to heat up when I play, especially during the summer months, and the 2K12s passed the test. There is a mesh "window" on the medial side of the shoe that allowed plenty of air circulation to keep my feet cool and dry.
Being an aggressive mover on the court, ankle stability and support are absolute musts for my shoes. I have to say that these are some of the most supportive tennis shoes I've played in (being very similar to the Breathe Free II). The Drag-On X cage technology on the upper gives the support I am looking for without adding too much weight or feeling bulky. Additionally, the low-to-the-ground feel of the shoe, along with the correct placement of the ankle collar, provided plenty of support.
With a supportive and stable shoe the weight is always a concern, and let me tell you I was pleasantly surprised. For being such a supportive shoe the weight was about average, not too light and not too heavy. I felt quick on the court. I could move around with ease without worrying about the weight of my shoes. However, it is definitely not one of the lightest shoes I have ever playtested, but the stability was worth the weight.
The traction was another positive of this shoe for me. I was really able to move aggressively, and the shoe gripped the court very well. I had the confidence to push off forcefully without fear of sliding or rolling over the top of the 2K12s. I had no issues with starting or stopping and did not slip once.
After about 25 hours on the court I saw smoothing underneath my big toe on both shoes, which would make the sole durability about average. However, compared with the lighter shoes I playtested this shoe held up quite well. I was a big fan of the Drag-On X technology for toe durability. I'm a toe dragger, so the toe bumper is very important because it protects my shoes from damage. This toe bumper went up high enough and connected with the Drag-On X technology to offer even more protection. I had zero damage on the toe.
The one issue I had with this shoe was the arch support. The arch support in this shoe didn't match up well with my arches. I have slightly lower than medium arches and the first couple hits on the court I could definitely feel the arch. My inner arches were sore after I played. But by the end of the playtest the arch height had flattened out, making it less of an issue. An easy solution would be to slip in some insoles to correct the support.
Overall, I was really impressed with the Zoom Breathe 2K12. The highlights of the shoe were the ankle support, stability, traction and comfort. The outsole held up to my grueling workouts, and the shoe, while not the lightest, definitely felt quick. I enjoyed the low-to-the-ground feel, and the color, Volt, was the perfect way to stand out from the crowd on the court. If you're not a fan of bright yellow shoes, there is a rainbow of colors to choose from.
With impressive performance and lots of colors to choose from, this shoe will meet the needs of most tennis players.

Find the perfect New Orleans apartments for rent and make America's favorite Mardi Gras city your new home. New Orleans still has many Creole traditions today that are vastly different than other American cities. Through the centuries, New Orleans has guarded its culture and way of life, prevailing French language of the city, its dominant Catholicism and its deeply rooted Creole or native population and their traditions. New Orleans is known as America's birthplace of Jazz music, and according to the city's history, New Orleans was the only place in the new world where slaves were allowed to own drums. With collaboration between musicians over the years, jazz was born. You may have to discover this historic music for yourself, but residents of New Orleans apartments will attest that no one does jazz better than New Orleans.
When you begin your search for New Orleans apartments for rent, explore some of the city's most historic and unique neighborhoods before making your selection. Start in the French Quarter, which sits on a crescent in the Mississippi River on some of the highest ground in New Orleans. It's known as the city's cultural hub and also a community where residents take time to reminisce with neighbors about times gone by and to welcome visitors in the streets. Next, head to the Garden District, made up of Uptown and Carrollton as well. This neighborhood is known by locals as a dynamic community grounded in a strong sense of tradition. Some of its homes are still known by the names of the families that built them over a century ago, and official flags designating Mardi Gras Royalty are a common sight here during Carnival season. Finally, head to the Central Business District to take in live musical performances. People come to historic Lafayette Square for free concerts. The Orpheum, home to the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra, this area comes to life for nighttime performances that residents of apartments for rent in New Orleans attend after work. Canal Place for shopping and the Aquarium of the Americas have also been added in recent years to bring in crowds.
Consider looking for New Orleans apartments for rent if you want a low cost of living with lots of local amenities and sunny weather. AreaVibes notes that the cost of living in New Orleans is 3.6 percent less than the national average, making it an affordable place to settle down. As for rental rates, beware that they are slightly higher than national numbers, with median rental rates falling at 12.2 percent greater than the national average, according to AreaVibes.
If you're trying to find apartments in New Orleans to start a new career, consider some of the city's top employers, including the U.S. Postal Service, North Oaks Health System, Dow Chemical Co. and Northrop Grumman Ship Systems. New Orleans also has institutes of higher education that meet its top employers list, including Louisiana State University, Tulane University and Loyola University. According to Greater New Orleans Inc., there are currently eight private colleges and universities, three public institutions and two seminaries that serve the Greater New Orleans region. There are also four professional schools that function in the area.

Looking for Waterproof Cameras?
Start shoppingVideo: Olympus TG-2 iHS Tough-Style Digital Camera
The Olympus TG-2 iHS can take it all and still deliver detailed photos when conditions prove challenging to less-rugged cameras. Waterproof to depths of 50 feet, this sporty point-and-shoot is ideal not just for snapshots in the rain but for gorgeous underwater photos while snorkeling in tropical locales. Even in poor light, the TG-2's f/2.0 lens and backlit CMOS sensor ensure your photos show plenty of detail with minimal noise.
Hi. I'm Julie. I just spent a few weeks playing with the Olympus Stylus TG-2. It's one of the Tough cams that they have that's supposed to be waterproof and shockproof and freeze-proof and dustproof, and all those kind of things. So I noticed a couple things about the camera first of all. It's really, really solid. I own another waterproof camera and it's actually a little easier to hold onto. It works more like a regular camera that you can use when you're nowhere near the water or anything like that.
It also did a really good job at actually just taking pictures. It handled lots of different scenes well. So we went to aquariums, which are notoriously difficult to photograph, and it did a great job there, but it also did well underwater, on roller coasters with motion, all that stuff. It had a ton of scene modes, way more, frankly, than I was ever able to use, but it's not a bad thing if you're actually looking to capture the kinds of pictures that those scene modes make possible. Like if you really want to take pictures of your pets, there are specific scene modes for capturing cats or capturing dogs.
I have three small children. This was a camera that I actually handed over to them for a few weeks and let them go crazy with. We would play games where we would actually toss it to the bottom of the pool and they would dive for it. So that was pretty good too. You never had to worry about it. It was different than using a regular camera entirely. If you have any questions, just give Crutchfield a call.

1000 foot Copper 18/2 Black Direct Burial / Outdoor Speaker Wire
This black 18 AWG (American Wire Gauge) 2 conductor Speaker cable is rated for outdoor use and/or direct burial. It comes in a 1000 foot pull box and is ideal for running to exterior speakers in your backyard or outside the office. Each conductor (wire) is composed of seven 0.386 mm strands made from pure copper which provides the optimal conductivity/low resistance to drive high quality audio to your speakers.Our speaker wire is made from pure copper. Some companies use the marketing term oxygen free copper which really means there is no iron oxide in the wire. When oxides of iron are in the copper, the conductivity of the wire reduces due to the higher resistance of the iron oxide. So it is in your best interest to install speaker wire made with pure copper like ours are. Another misnomer is that copper clad aluminum is the same quality as pure copper; this is false. The resistance (Ohms) between the two differ and as resistance in the cable increases the power delivered to the speaker is reduced. The sound will be lower and can lose some of its quality. If copper's conductivity, due to resistance, is rated at 100% then aluminum's conductivity would be rated at 61%. In order to deliver the same quality of sound with aluminum one would need a much larger gauge.

Prague is like a living fairytale, filled with fantastic buildings from different centuries. The view from the Charles Bridge over the Vltava River and the red brick roofs is among the most beautiful in Europe. Prague Castle is the biggest mediaeval castle in the world, and the St. Vitus Cathedral and the Church of our Lady Before Týn are wonderful examples of gothic architecture. The beautiful baroque buildings in Malá Strana, or the Little Quarter, look like beautifully detailed dollhouses.
Built in Art Noveau style, Hotel Evropa on the lively Wenceslas Square offers a luxurious stay and the numerous outdoor restaurants around the square are perfect for sampling the world-famous Czech beer. The futuristic Dancing house by Frank Gehry creates an interesting contrast with the historical buildings. To gain insight into the rich history of Prague, which spans over a thousand years, visit the City Museum, Museum of Communism and the Jewish quarter Josefov.
The airport is located 15 km west of Prague.

Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: When You Arrive at the Hospital
Topic Overview
What happens at the hospital before the CABG procedure begins?
You will typically check into the hospital the evening before or morning of your coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) procedure for preoperative education. You will take a shower with antibacterial soap the night before surgery and will not be allowed anything to eat or drink after midnight.
Before your surgery, you will probably meet some of the members of the surgical team, including the anesthesiologist. Your anesthesiologist is responsible for giving you medicines to put you to sleep for your CABG surgery and control your pain both during and after your surgery. This doctor will explain the process of general anesthesia, make note of any allergies you might have to medicines, and prescribe a sedative to make you feel more comfortable and relaxed before the procedure begins.
In the preoperative area
Until your operating room is ready, you will remain in the preoperative, or pre-op, room. Your family and friends will probably be asked to remain in the waiting area. Usually your anesthesiologist or the anesthesiology assistant will then start one or more intravenous (IV) lines in your arm. You will be given saline fluid (to keep you hydrated), anesthesia, and other medicines through your IV line before, during, and after your surgery.
Preparation in the operating room
When your surgery team is ready, you will be transported on a bed with wheels from the holding area to the operating room. The staff will greet you and make sure that you are as comfortable as possible. Soon, you will receive general anesthesia through your IV line to put you to sleep. After you become unconscious, which happens quickly, a small tube called a Foley catheter will be placed through the opening of your penis or female urinary tract (urethra) and into your bladder. The free end of the catheter will then be hooked up to a plastic bag that will collect urine.
If your surgeon plans on using pieces of your leg veins to create the bypass grafts on your coronary arteries, your legs may be placed in a frog position, with the soles of your feet placed together and knees spread apart. Next, your chest, arms, and legs will be cleansed so that they are germ-free during the procedure. Usually a yellow-brown solution known as Betadine (povidone-iodine) is used to cleanse your body, as well as rubbing alcohol. Sterile drapes will be placed on the parts of your body that are not involved in the surgery.

- "Jerk needs to be taught a lesson. Give him a beating. Let him know... might is right!"
- ― Vlad Glebov
Vladimir "Vlad" Glebov (Russian: Владимир Глебов) (1967-2008) is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as the quaternary antagonist in Grand Theft Auto IV, appearing as one of the main antagonists during the first portion of the storyline, and also as a cameo character in The Lost and Damned.
Vlad was a senior member of the Faustin Family operating in Hove Beach, a local community to Russian mobsters. He made his income from loansharking and racketeering in Broker, mainly aiming at weak Russians. Vlad was a local customer at Comrades Bar which he owned and operated from. Vlad was a frequent user of cocaine which was usually controlled by his boss, Mikhail Faustin and described as "good stuff". His downfall came when Niko Bellic soon arrived in Liberty City and took a big interest in Roman Bellic's personal life as he owed Vlad money from his massive gambling debts, and was later executed by Niko when Vlad was having an affair with Mallorie Bardas.
Early life
Vladimir "Vlad" Glebov was born in 1967 in Russia. He has a sister. His childhood and teens life are mostly unknown. Sometime during the mid-to-late 1980s Vlad met Mikhail Faustin and Dimitri Rascalov, two mobsters that Vlad joined to their gang later. Vlad also became a close worker to Ivan Bytchkov, a professional burglar of the Bratva. Vlad raised ranks in the Bratva until he became one of the most high ranking members, second only to Mikhail and Dimitri.

In the late 1980s, Vlad moved along with Mikhail, Dimitri, Ivan and most of thier associates to United States of America, setting in Liberty City and moving to Hove Beach. Vlad opened a bar called Comrades Bar, and hired a man named Mickey as the bartander. Vlad was arrested in 2002 for public nudeness, in 2003 for sexual assault and in 2004 for extortion.
Sometime in 2005 Vlad met Roman Bellic, who was in debt for gambling. Vlad lent Roman a lot of money and since then he was waiting for Roman to pay. Vlad started an affair with Mallorie Bardas, Roman's girlfriend.
Vlad also protected Roman from Dardan Petrela and Bledar Morina, two Albanians that Roman is in debt for them, although he never took them seriously.
- Roman: "I'll get you the money."
- Vlad: "I know. And Roman... tell this fucking yokel here if he doesn't stop staring at me, I'll have his head chopped off and put a film of it on the internet!"
- ―Vlad threatens Roman and his cousin, Niko.
In 2008 Vlad met Roman's cousin, Niko Bellic, and forced him to work for him in order to pay off Roman's debts. Vlad's work was, taking protection from a Chinese shopworker, and later from Muscovski, a laundromat owner. Vlad also told Niko to steal a Blista Compact from a man that didn't pay Mikhail. Vlad's last mission for Niko was to kill Ivan, who angered Mikhail. Niko can either kill or spare Ivan, the latter option making him appear in a random encounter later on. Niko called Vlad about the mission and Vlad revealed to Niko that he has an affair with Mallorie, making Niko very angry and threatens him that he will break him if he says that to his face.
- "Fucking yokel, you think you can get away with killing me?!"
"I guess I'll find out."
"You think this worth it? You're throwing you and your fatty cousin's lives away for that bit of Puerto Rican chocha."
"I'm throwing you away, prick. We'll do alright."
"My friends will track you down. You won't last a moment!"
"I'll last longer than you will, shithead."
"Fuck you! I wish I could be there to watch Mikhail cut your peasent balls off!" - ―Vlad being confronted by Niko before being killed.
After Niko learns that Vlad has been having an affair with Mallorie behind Roman's back, Niko confronts Vlad at Comrades Bar. After a brief chase through the neighborhood, Niko shoots Vlad in the left eye under the Algonquin Bridge before tossing his corpse into the Humboldt River, ignoring the fact that his boss, Mikhail Faustin, will certainly track down the man responsible for his murder. Mikhail later admits that Vlad was an idiot, and the only reason he was still been employed in his organization was that Mikhail had sexual intercourse with Vlad's sister. Since Vlad has not been found after being killed, the LCPD database lists him as "missing".

LCPD database record
Surname: Glebov
First name: Vladimir
Age: 41
Place of Birth: Russia
Affiliations: Known associate of Mikhail Faustin.
Criminal record:
- 2002 - Public Lewdness
- 2003 - Sexual Assault
- 2004 - Extortion
- Recently arrived in Liberty City from Russia.
- Owner of Comrades bar in Hove Beach.
- Connections with Mikhail Faustin and Dimitri Rascalov.
- Believed to be well below Faustin and Rascalov in the criminal food chain.
- In Russia, the nickname for "Vladimir" is "Vova" and "Vlad" is for "Vladislav". It may be that "Vlad" is just easier to pronounce for Americans and because Vova can be confused by Latin people for "boba", an informal word in feminine for stupid in Spanish.
- Vlad is the first of his former employers that Niko kills.
- During the mission Do You Have Protection?, Dimitri mentioned that Vlad was the debt collector in Faustin Family. It could be his official rank.
- There is a reference to another Rockstar game in one of his lines: he said "Bang Bang, you are dead" to Niko. This is a reference to Vladimir Lem from Max Payne, who often said this.
- In the opening cutscene of It's Your Call, Vlad threatens Niko by saying that he would cut his head off and post a video of it on the internet if he wouldn't stop staring at him. This could be a reference to the graphic video where Russian neo-Nazis behead a person.
- In Easy Fare, he threatens Niko again, saying he will "burst one of his eyeballs." Ironically, this is the way he is executed in Uncle Vlad.
- Later in the game, Mallorie calls Niko revealing that Roman took credit for Vlad's death, and thanks him for helping Roman dispose of Vlad's body. Rather than tell her what really happened, Niko plays along, calling Roman an old school romantic.
- There is a possible reference to Vlad in a competing game, Saints Row 2. There is a commercial featuring a man named Vlad with an East European accent (Jason Zumwalt, the same voice actor that voices Roman), with hints that he is a human trafficker, and states that he is willing to have the player's family killed.
- The only time Vlad appears outside of cutscenes is in the mission Uncle Vlad.
- Vladimir Glebov shares his name with the youngest son of Lev Kamenev, a Bolshevik revolutionary and a prominent Soviet politician. Vladimir Glebov was the name of Lev's youngest son, and the only immediate relative to survive after Lev's execution, as the rest of his family was executed as well.
- As shown in the mission Clean Getaway, Vlad was a user of cocaine.
- After Vlad is killed if you go out drinking with Roman to the Comrades Bar, Roman will make mention of Vlad's death.

Dear all,
I am looking at modelling a Submarine that has not been built yet. I really like the look of the Proposed type 214. I am interested in building it because I don't have to worry about the X plane set up. I really like German/ Swedish boats even, if it seems our navy is having problems with it's (collins)
Does anybody have anymore info other than what's available on the HDW TNSW and Cord's website? A 3 view would be nice?
DAvid Hughes.

Hi everyone, new to the forum- sober 27 days today. Cold turkey, two days of DT's in my room, feeling lots better now. 27 years of boozing, last 8 years 15 to 25 drinks a day, usually vodka. Began having daily blackouts about 6 months ago, lost whole days- could not recall anything, but there were the notes in my computer...damned if I wasn't talking to clients and taking notes! Woke up puking bile in the shower, breakfast drank beer with eggs to take the shakes off. Kept a pint in my desk, started in at 9-10 am. Lunch was 4-6 drinks, usually martinis or bloody marys (no odor, or so I thought!) On the way home would stop and buy those sodapop smirnoff things, and drive through the mcdonalds- "large coke please, hold the coke"- pour the alky-pop into the cup and sip the six-pack in traffic on 85. Stop at the package store for a sixer of guinness and another two vodka pint bottles, one to kill at home another for the desk at work tomorrow.
Drunk 24/7, even taking the kids to movies, campouts, scouts etc. I was a pillar of strength, fancied myself a real Winston Churchill, drunk as hell and leading my people through the battle of britain- totally into the "high functioning alcoholic" myth.
I'm only 40, and realize now that I have a chance to see 50. Never will if I keep drinking. Sure helps to share, it really keeps me focused hearing other folks share.
