Bicycles and Their Counterparts In Nature
42 comments:
BAM! Another bash on the bicycle culture. Good times.
And I have to ask, what is the bicycle set up of the mighty author of this site? I know it's going to be hard to actually fess' up to what you ride since you are SO talented at blowing holes in EVERYTHING...but let's get a fair playing field here.
Thanks and keep up the shooting gallery.

Hilarious! I have to give serious props for the green bike with the bandanna. Now I know the whole argument about no brakes, and I admit I like to take my brake off now and then, it can be free and fun. This being said, if you're going to go without a brake, you should try getting a chain. It's tough to ride without a chain, thought you should know.

Another commenter asked me that awhile back and I posted a reply, which for better or worse I'll paste below.
As far as levelling the playing field, I cravenly intend to leave it tilted waaay in my favor.
(pasted from previous post)
Ha! Well, as a cyclist I never thought anybody would ever care about what I ride. But I'm flattered and it's a fair question.
As you noticed, though some of my preferences are obvious, I don't refer specifically to what I myself use. This isn't out of fear of ridicule or anything like that. The reason is that I communicate in derision and derision only--I prefer not to "endorse" or speak positively about specific products. There's enough of that on the web as it is. Plus, what I ride (or what anybody rides) isn't important. The point is the motivation behind the choice of ride and equipment. It's when the motivation behind that choice is vanity that my sensor gets tripped.
But at the same time, I don't want to be too evasive, and like any cyclist I'd like nothing more than to discuss my equipment. So I'll just say this: I have four bikes. (I'd probably have more, but this is New York, and there are spacial constraints.) Two of them are geared, one is a single-speed, one is a fixed-gear. One is carbon, one is aluminum, and two are steel. None is exotic and the manufacturers are not esoteric, though of the four the road bike is the one that would most be considered "high end." They all use more or less boringly conventional wheels and components.
Hope this helps. I'm very pleased to have given you some laughs.

Awww..c'mon...don't be dissin' the otters by comparing them to recumbents! Otters are cool -- while recumbents are mostly just silly, designed for cyclists who dread the thought of leaving their recliners at home

sirrah, way to sidestep chris' question. was your plan to provide just enough ambiguous information to make the reader think you had really answered the question? your explanation of your bikes describes nearly every bike on the planet, including the ones you enjoy criticizing. you are well aware that every bike has its weaknesses, so don't argue that your failure to describe your bike has any more to do with not endorsing products than being afraid of what others might think of you.

When you break your wrist, you may wish you had a recumbent. If one could only mount a beer fridge and TV, all would be good during football season.

Too effing funny. I've been wondering how long it would take those that are tweaked to start posting whiny complaints about blah blah blah... I don't care. As I see it, bsnyc is ridiculing the owners of these bikes, rather than the bikes themselves. If you are getting all twisted up about it, stop looking in this particular mirror. As for me, my new question when purchasing any cycling equipment will be "WWBSNYVD?"

Best post yet.

Thanks for the some what shadowed answer. I was just curious.
And in no way do I think I'm Lord Blah Blah Blah. I'm sure I'm the guy that everyone chuckles about as I ride by.
I own one bike, which is fixed, that I use to commute and have fun on when I can. I own far too few bikes or have the any interest in becoming part of any 'culture'. I'm just a guy who has no problem with my track bike and was curious what bike the author rode.
I was being honest when I said keep it up...this is damn funny stuff.
I can certainly laugh at myself, and do...and I find those in spandex and claiming that they are part of a 'culture' rarely can.
Take care and ride for fun.

Waaay too funny. The otters, they are coming to get me. They are going to poke me in the calf with their little feet.
OMG I could not stop laughing had to go away from the page to calm down! Almost puked when I saw Don/Trek Thank you bsnyc.

It seems a little unfair that the expert professional freelancer rarely gets their true worth in the marketplace these days. What tends to happen is that a business advertises for the most qualified expert in their field for a project, the professional submits a price and the market takes care of itself. It's the way it's worked for years. The only trouble is, businesses tend to be drawn to the cheapest possible option and both sides end up settling for less. The business loses out because they don't get the best people available and the professional doesn't get full worth ... Read more
We humans are strange creatures. Once we've made up our mind about something it's darned hard to convince us to do something else. When it comes to business, however, I guess there has to be a regimented regime in place that everyone can understand and relate to. While that applies to much in the business world, you'd think that there wouldn't be much difference in the humble resume, would you? Back in the old days, all you'd have to display were the obvious things like name, address and phone number with a brief description of your working life and previous ... Read more
So, you've probably spent weeks and months diligently putting your website together with everything from your latest brand information to ecommerce sales. You probably think that you can relax a bit now and let the website do all the work. Uh-huh? That's a really dangerous thing to do. If something goes wrong with your website and there is downtime, you might not just lose a few sales while it isn't working. There's little more frustrating for the potential customer than a website that doesn't work efficiently and, chances are, those people won't be back. Pingometer is a top notch website ... Read more
Control of your business data used to be reasonably easy in the old days of paper. There was probably a rickety old filing cabinet where all your photos and documents were kept and there was probably one person who knew exactly what was going on. But now that everything is digitalized, the management and organization of your important digital assets has got a lot more complicated - not to mention time consuming. IntelligenceBank Digital Asset Management. is a flexible, fully customizable and easy-to-use Digital Asset Management (DAM) application for business that is packed with great features. This great looking, cloud-based ... Read more
Big business has whole departments to follow up on any business leads in order to take them to fruition. They run vast CRM's that are overflowing with features and make sure that they do everything in their power to nurture even the merest hint of a lead and turn it into a business opportunity. That's not so easy if you are a freelancer, an entrepreneur or a small businessperson who might not have the time or the resources to follow things up quite as efficiently. Nectar is an easy-to-use and very manageable lead tracking solution that is designed for those ... Read more
I asked a retail owner friend of mine the other day how long she spent on 'paperwork' in her three salons and she reckoned it was close-on a day a week. She told me that she would have to laboriously plough through Excel spreadsheets and various notepads for hours every week diligently copying the nightly information from store to head office. I was telling her then that, with the right apps, she could run her entire business from her smartphone and cut her 'paperwork' time in half. Bizimply is the perfect app to illustrate that. It provides an online platform ... Read more
One of the great boom industries in the app world over the last few years has been the introduction of cloud storage for your media. Dropbox, Amazon and Google Drive are some that come to mind immediately. So why would you bother to look at another? Well, Streem Drive is a new media storage application that gives you unlimited space to store, stream and share your important movies, photos and music from the cloud for just twenty bucks a month. There is a big difference, however, between Streem Drive and other cloud-based storage apps. Not only does it take up ... Read more
Up until the last few years, the whole business of human resources (or HR) has proved to be a rather fractured one in the business world. Sure, the big businesses have had it nailed down for a while but companies with a limited budget tended to either have one person with a spreadsheet or the work was covered by several different departments. Unless its a pretty small organization, it's rare to see the same people who hire and fire staff involved in staff performance reporting and getting the best out of your workers. EmpXtrack is a ground-breaking and all encompassing ... Read more
The thing that I like most about business apps like this one is that they give small and medium sized businesses the chance to compete on a level playing field with their bigger competitors. Lynkos CRM is a user-friendly and comprehensive cloud-based productivity app that is as easy to use as a regular email account. Import and manage your contacts easily, manage and monitor your social feeds, follow up opportunities and involve your customers, create and assign tasks automatically and manage your team with ease - all from one place. Lynkos' unashamed aim is to improve the relationship you have ... Read more
If you are lucky enough to have all your software development team in the one place you are probably in the minority these days. You will find that many will collaborate on projects with other developers that can be based anywhere else in the world. The problem arises for management teams when they are looking for development transparency on work done. Devizan is a cloud-based, software development application that will help when you need to check a project's state (at any point in its history,) changes made during development, maintenance phases or its documentation. Rather than showing screenshots or keyboard ... Read more

LADY GARDENER: Give landscape and potted plants the best chance to thrive
It's so tempting to get carried away when purchasing flowers and then realize they must be planted in the ground.
Armed with a spade, potting soil, weed preventive granules and determination, I set out to plant three rose bushes and several hostas. A few days after rainfall, the ground was pliable and easy to dig.
Thought this would be a good time to review steps for planting small shrubs and trees. These I can do myself, but for anything larger, I call a professional nurseryman.
First, determine the depth and width of the hole. The plant should be set at the height equal to its height in the container, minus one inch. (An 8-inch deep root ball will be planted 7 inches deep.) Hole width should be three times the pot diameter.
Set aside the soil removed from the hole, crumble the soil by hand or with a hand trowel. Lower the root ball and fill in the area half way with the crumbled soil. Mix the remaining soil with fresh potting soil and fill in the remaining space. The plant should be about one inch higher than the ground around it. Fill that space with the soil mixture and water. Spread the weed preventive on the ground around the plant. Add mulch. A handful of slow-release fertilizer could be either spread on top or be mixed with the soil.
For container gardens, use fresh potting soil. I know it is tempting to reuse the soil remaining in the very large containers, perhaps adding only a few inches of fresh soil, but the old soil contains few if any nutrients. After planting, add mulch to help retain moisture.
It's easy to get carried away with container gardens. The first rule to remember is that containers will need to be watered daily and the proximity to the water source is of prime importance.
To keep containers fresh, know where the container is to be placed and use compatible flowers. Will the container be primarily in shade, filtered shade or sun? For success, use either all sun or all shade plants. Don't forget that perennials do well in containers and may be planted in the ground in the fall.
An interesting way to plan a butterfly or hummingbird garden for your patio or balcony is to use a combination of pot sizes with one type of plant per pot. Pots could be all the same material or a mixture of colors. For hummingbirds, combine a variety of bright colors.
When cutting back iris stems, I noticed that borers had invaded an enormous clump of bearded irises. Although they had just finished blooming, I cut them back to about 2 inches and cleared the entire area of surface debris. The top half of rhizomes should be exposed to the sun and air. Borers are easy to identify as brown spots appear on the leaves and leaves turn brown and curl. Cleanliness is essential.
If you don't have a garden journal, start one. It's an excellent way to record successes and failures.
Garden dos the next two weeks:
Still time to plant annuals.
Water plants in the morning so leaves dry before nightfall.
Inspect plants for mildew and spray with multipurpose fungicide.
Support clematis and other vine plants.

The Church of the Holy Cross youth group will be holding an Italian dinner on Saturday Jan. 29 at 5 p.m. The dinner will include soup or salad, a choice of lasagna, Fettuccine Alfredo, spaghetti with meat sauce or plain sauce, or a combination plate, plus bread, coffee and tiramisu or cannoli for dessert. The charge is $7 for adults and $5 for children under 12.
This fundraiser is intended to help offset expenses of a Youth Works mission trip this summer, in which youth help upgrade or clean up homes of the needy.
Youth Works is also sponsoring fundraisers involving Burger King coupons, and an raffle set for spring, with prizes featuring works of art donated by area artists.
Marie Fisher and Pat Sullivan are two of the artists now committed to the fundraiser. Other artists seeking to donate donate work, call Beth or Damian at 504-4312

Stony Creek Library fills position
The Stony Creek Free Library announced this week the appointment of Lisa Bartow of Hadley as library director. She has accepted the position following the recent retirement of Norma Hastings who served the as library director for 34 years. Lisa Bartow and her husband Brian have been very active in leading local area spiritual youth groups, and they've spearheaded mission trips to Haiti -- both long before and after the tragic earthquakes of January 2010 occurred.

Nature Trail Closure
One section of the Nature Trail is closing April 29 for construction.
Facilities Management is about to start work on a project that will improve the stream from the Duck Pond to near the Visitor's lot. This is to preserve and protect the stream bed and surrounding areas. To accomplish this work, a section of the Nature Trail will be closed starting Monday, April 29, for approximately two weeks. Trail detour signs will be placed on Monday to guide you around the construction site.
During this phase of the project a contractor will move in with heavy equipment to move dirt and rocks to re-form the stream channel and restore the grades along the stream banks. This part of the process will appear somewhat destructive, but essential if we are to protect the stream bed for the long term. The contractor will then fill in the banks with many small plants and in time the area will grow back to its woodland state, serious erosion problems averted.
We ask for your patience and understanding during this brief construction period while we protect our campus. Should you have any questions, please contact Bill Astifan at Facilities Management 610-896-1101.

Originally written on Waiting For Next Year | Last updated 2/20/13
Mary Kay Cabot of the Plain Dealer reports that the Browns will meet with Josh Cribbs' agent J.R. Rickert at the scouting combine in Indianapolis. This doesn't necessarily fly in the face of earlier reports that the Browns were cool on the possibilities of bringing the special teams standout back. It is reasonable for any team to perform their due diligence with all their free agents. Rickert also represents Browns restricted free agent Chris Ogbonnaya. Even with the Browns meeting, I fully expect Cribbs to have an opportunity to test his market value on the open market. If the Browns do bring someone like Cribbs back, I expect it will be a very favorable deal for the club only after Cribbs is unable to garner interest in a substantial multi-year deal elsewhere. Cribbs will go down in history as one of the greatest Cleveland Browns of all time due to his record-setting performances as a special teamer and return man. Still, in a league where Peyton Manning can't find a way to spend his entire career with a single team, it remains a longshot that a special teams player like Cribbs would be able to do so either. [Related: Ben Watson, Mohamed Massaquoi listed as free agents not likely to return]

The "BTF Toyota 8" Rear Kryptonite Diff Cover" was designed with pure function in mind. Like all of the Kryptonite Series Diff Covers the BTF Toyota 8" Front Kryptonite Diff Cover is fabricated from 1/4" high-strength steel plate. The cover welds on over the stock housing. You are not required to remove any portion of the stock diff. All diff covers are shipped unpainted.
This is more than just a cover. It adds strength to the front of the axle on either side of the "hump" where it is the weakest. It welds to the housing with 1 1/2" long stitches to prevent warpage and allow for dirt and mud to drain. The fill plug recess is fabricated with 1 3/4" round tube to strengthen the cover in the area of the plug and also to prevent the fill plug from dropping into the cover.
Note: Some modification to the cover will be required to work with leaf-sprung front-ends. The cover must be clearanced to fit over the inboard passenger side u-bolt.

Three members of family in critical condition after fire
CORPUS CHRISTI - Three of four Flour Bluff family members are in critical condition after fire destroyed their mobile home overnight. A 17-year-old girl is stable, fire officials said.
Flames lurched from the threshold of the mobile home in the 500 block of Rosemary as firefighters arrived about 3:20 a.m., fire officials said. Neighbors helped the family from their home, and according to reports, the girl's stepfather's arm was burned while yanking his 15-year-old son from the residence. Both adults and both teens suffered smoke inhalation.
It took three engine companies, a ladder company and Naval Air Station-Corpus Christi firefighters about 40 minutes to extinguish the blaze, according to reports.
Capt. Mark Wagner said damaged floors prohibited investigators entering the home until daylight, and they were still in the documentation stage, taking photos and noting damage.
"There's severe interior damage in the living room and lesser damage toward the ends," Wagner said, "But it's a total loss and we'll know more about what started the fire later today."
The local Red Cross is in contact with the family to offer assistance.

Whether supporting your best friends or your favorite sports team and whether supporting local restaurants and bars or farmers and craftspeople, there is plenty you can do to back those in your community this week. So get out there and start doing some supporting…or something. I don't know. Let's just read a damn letter and get on with it!
Dear Ruthie,
I have a friend. Let's call her "Jane." Jane shared with a group of giddy friends that she was beginning the process to adopt a baby. I feigned excitement, but I think this is a huge mistake. Jane is far too selfish, self-centered and unprepared overall to be a parent. I want to tell her of my concerns, but I'm not sure how. Any suggestions?
Concerned Carla
Dear Carla,
I do, indeed, have a suggestion. It's this…shut the hell up and mind your own beeswax. Let the adoption experts determine if "Jane" is too young, too broke, too unstable, too ill or too anything. It's not your call. After all, half the people that are popping out kids these days aren't ready to be parents and they manage to bring up baby just fine. Clearly your gal pal has given this a lot of thought, so if you don't have anything nice to say zip it, sister, and do your best to show some support. You'll be glad you did.
August 27: Westown Farmers' Market at Zeidler Union Square (301 W. Michigan St.): What the what?! A farmers' market in the middle of the week? It's true! Get fresh with dozens of vendors at this outdoor market that's open 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Skip the office break room and enjoy lunch in the park as local restaurants have a presence at the market, as do jewelry makers, crafters and more. If you're lucky, you'll even catch a bit of live music. If not…oh, well. Come back the next week and shut the hell up.
August 29: "Ruthie's Three-Girls-Three" Shows at Hamburger Mary's (2130 S. Kinnickinnic Ave.): Join my gal pals Symphony Alexander Love and Nova D'Vine and I as we celebrate the weekend with two silly shows, perfect for Friday night. Catch the craziness at 8 p.m. or stop by for a more adult show at 9:30 p.m. (or stay for both)! Seats go fast for the LOL night, so be sure to call 414-988-9324 for reservations.
August 29-30: Dairyland Classic Softball Tournament: Take me out to the ballgame, honey! The boys and girls from the LGBT Saturday Softball League take on teams from Chicago and other cities in this popular annual tournament. Head out to the fields and support your favorite team by visiting ssblmilwaukee.com. There you'll find daily game schedules, field locations and more. Next, hit the bars and meet all the friendly softball players visiting our city and show them what a great place Milwaukee is.
August 31: Brewery Series: Boulder Beer at Sugar Maple (441 E. Lincoln Ave.): Like beer? Come sample a few brew-skis with the kids from Colorado's Boulder Beer! They're visiting Milwaukee for a neighborly night of beer tasting in Bay View. A $15 cover charge grants you at least five samplings from the guest brewery. The tasting and presentation begin at 4 p.m.
August 31: Dairyland Closing Ceremonies and Show at La Cage (801 S. Second St.): Closing ceremonies for the softball tournament take place at La Cage this year, and culminate in the show of all shows, featuring "The Fashion-ista" Jimmy James. I'll emcee the 7:30 p.m. festivities before Jimmy uses his incredible vocal talents to impersonate everyone from Madonna, Gaga and Cher to Elvis, Pharrell and Bowie. Like things old school? You'll adore his take on Marilyn Monroe, Judy Garland and others. It's a night with softball stars and screen sirens alike!
September 2: Coming-Out Discussion Group at LGBT Community Center (1110 N. Market St.): Come out, come out, wherever you are! While coming out may be far different now than it was years ago (dare, I say decades ago?), it can still be a trying, confusing and scary event for many. Come to this all-ages discussion where overcoming barriers and self-acceptance are only a few of the items on the agenda. The discussion will be held from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the Center's boardroom. See mkelgbt.org for additional information.

Track List
Album Remarks & Appraisals:
DER PRINZ, their sixth album, keeps up with the diversity of musical genres that has become their trademark. Next to original compositions inspired by "world music", the trio also pays tribute to some leading artists with brilliant covers of works by Radiohead, Jorane and the legendary Canadian group Rush, with the great classic Tom Sawyer. Captivating!
When it comes to bridging diverse genres of music, the MG3, which CBC described as "the hottest guitar ensemble in Canada," has quickly established itself as a force to be reckoned with. For more than 13 years, the trio's virtuosity, rigor, creativity, and dynamic stage presence - they are noted for the wit and warmth of their interactions with audiences - have been winning applause around the world. They won the 2011 Opus Prize for concert of the year in the Jazz / World Music category. They have given hundreds of concerts in prestigious venues in North America, Europe, New Zealand, and Australia, including the BB King Blues Club in New York, the Rundetårnet in Copenhagen, and the legendary Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.

The NDP declared the Champlain Bridge ''the most important' in Canada it shouldn't be tolled. But what of Canada's other 'important' bridges?
Canada is paying 90% of the costs of the new bridge to Detroit, but Washington is stalling over their one responsibility: $200 million for a Customs plaza for U.S. border officials.

I'm an ex-fighter pilot with many years of experience with both single-and twin-engine jet aircraft. I flew single engine jets and did not have one serious engine problem. I also flew twin-engine jets and had quite a few single engine failures and dual engine failures more than once. Why? Who knows? I do know that today's engines are far more reliable.
The $4-billion earmarked for a new Detroit-Windsor span could instead be used to improve highways all over Canada.
$300,000 might get you an arena. But it'll cost you $24-million not to get another bridge. It's complicated.

Remember Me
-Jessica Lea Mayfield
Is your whole family into music?
How did you find yourself working with Dan Auerbach (The Black Keys), Dr. Dog and The Avett Brothers so early in your career?
I'm from Kent and Dan's from Akron and he had heard some little recording I had done on my own. We met and we started recording and hanging out and collaborating. I've known him since I was sixteen.
I've known The Avett Brothers for about three years, and I opened for them in my hometown of Kent, Ohio and they really like my music and I really like their music, so I toured with them a bit.
What did Dan bring to your album as a producer?
He brought a completely different view. I'd bring him a lot of songs as I wrote them and he would bring his ideas, and he had ideas I would never think of on my own. Me and him look at things from two completely different points of view, so when he put it together the album came out like nothing I would have ever thought it would have because of his ideas.
Why did you decide to name the album, With Blasphemy So Heartfelt?
And how would you portray yourself, or more specifically, your music?
I don't think I could even do that. I like to think of myself as something different. I can't compare myself to anybody at all.
Can you give me an idea of your biggest musical influences?
Definitely the Foo Fighters. They were my favorite band, they still are. Foo Fighters really made me want to play music. I really like Hank Williams, Ernest Tubb, Modest Mouse, Elliott Smith - a lot of things that don't really go together at all.
What do you enjoy most about playing live versus recording?
I like the live shows because of the energy and the crowd and the people and how you can get aggression and anxiety out. You've been sitting in a van all day and then you get on stage and you're just like "Ahhhhh...." [a sound of pure release]. With recording it's cool because you can sit down and get all your ideas out and be really creative. It's a really good way to be creative; that's what I like about recording.
Where do you go from here?
I want to continue to do what I'm doing, and the touring is one of my favorite parts of it. I just want to be able to be on the road and tour and be able to come out on top and continue doing it like this as long as I can - just keep going out and playing shows, and for the shows to get bigger and the thing as a whole to get a little bit bigger and be able to go out and play these shows and have more people and more money because it's hard to come out on top, especially with gas [prices] these days, touring is almost impossible. But, that's what I like to do, I like to go out and play the shows.
Jessica Lea Mayfield kicks off a coast-to-coast tour on January 20. Complete dates available here.
JamBase | En Route
Go See Live Music!
My ears hurt after listening to her.
I saw her open for the Avett brothers in cleveland, It was horrible. Made me want to take a nap before the Avetts rocked.
^^^Well, it could have been the sound quality in Cleveland. This is a good folk tune, man. I give it two thumbs up.
Did she pay to get this article on the site? That "Kiss Me Again" is terrible. I cannot comprehend how Kayce could actually like this, if that opening paragraph is true.
how do you become a writer for jambase? do they look at you're interesting in music? Or just if you can put some words together.
Would you rather have a bad writer writing about great things? or a great writer writing about bad things?
um yeah... she's mediocre at best.
God, sometimes you commenters drive me berserk. JLM touches something deep down within, I guess if you're not into music with soul you won't get it. With Blasphemy So Heartfelt is a great record if you're into good songs. It's great music for a Grey winter morning.
Great to see this. I got turned on to Jessica through The Black Keys and fell in love with her album. Really nice to see JamBase hip to Mayfield.
bill monroe's tour bus.. thats cool though ...
This shit is makes my penis soft.
^let me guess, you're between 18-25 and love techno rock. it's okay, you'll grow out of it... and i don't think i've met a man who boasts about thier erectile dysfunction, don't stress, there's help available.
this girl is good. don't be hating.
and RICHARDHALEY, it's okay. fnkmister is a disco biscuits fan so that automatically makes him a douche bag. but the erectile dysfunction probably comes from all the mali he's done in parking lots while playing hackey sack. fuckin' bisco heads.....
Some of you mugs are tone deaf. Her music is real and good. Enjoyed the article.
This article and artist are exactly why I checkout Jambaase. I just plugged her into Rhapsody and have to say, "Wow." Reminds me of Edie Brickell meets the Cowboy Junkies. Thanks.
Amazing album, great songwriter. Im glad she is getting the press she deserves....
i don't think she's painful to listen to at all or not good at what she does, but i'm definitely not seeing what's so advanced and sophisticated about it... sounds like your standard moody girl music to me.. i dunno, maybe its my general disliking for most female singer songwriters (although i like this girl's voice more than most), maybe i'm just jealous that i wasn't raised on Bill Monroe's tourbus... but i have to respectfully pass on this one.
Not bad, Not Great. Its music you have to be in right mood for.
Funny.... I don't even remember the first kiss.....must've been drunk. :(
You go Chitlin'...I know you don't like being called this anymore but I've seen OWR since you was a little gal and been very impressed how your talent has grown thru the years...you have a unique voice and talent...don't let the haters get you down....people used to hate on Rickie Lee Jones and look at what a long career shes had...keep it up girl!
I'm old school I seen the grateful Dead over hundreds of time , I seen phish back before they had a more than a hand full of their own songs. way before jambase, then I hear this crap,This not jam music this crap, the girls sounds like she drunk or something. You want new jam music try U-Melt,or Lotus.Not some chick playing three chords and crying in my beer. Thank god for the Disco Biscuits
I'm old school I seen the Grateful Dead over Hundred times,seen Phish back before they had a hand full of their own songs ,way before Jambase,then I heard this crap ,This is not jam music ,The girl sounds like shes drunk or something. you what to hear good jam music ,try U-Melt or Lotus.Not some chick playing Three chord and crying in my beer. Thank god for the Disco Biscuits!!!!!
robstarr, having an opinion is cool, and i sort of agree with you, but you don't have to be rude and you definitely shouldn't try to backup your opinions with the fact that you're "oldschool," that doesnt mean shit. there are plenty of braindead idiots who have also seen hundreds of dead/phish shows.
you guys are harsh.
She's ok. She's doing her thing and getting recognized for it and here you are, complaining that she's not the Disco Biscuits?
Get over it. If you don't like it then just let it go.
I love her. I first heard Jessica Lea Mayfield from the EP that came out before the album, and so picked up the album With Blasphemy So Heartfelt as soon as it came out, and started playing JLM on my Honest Tunes college radio show then and there. I've been waiting for a Kayceman write-up, and even want to say I may have lobbied for her getting into JamBase's CD players. She's one of the top artists of 2008 for me, and I hope has a long songwriting career ahead of her. She's got an outside style on her voice that, sure, some people aren't going to get it (see comments above on JamBase) but for those who like the natural warble it hits your heart by way of the ears. She's simply amazing. DGold

You can't believe everything you see on Twitter.
Or can you?
South Carolina 2012 signee Thaddeus Hall sent out a tweet the other day telling all Gamecock fans to get in touch with Torian Graham as he would be a great fit for the Gamecocks. It's interesting he says this as there are reports that Graham will be reclassified as a 2013 recruit after being a two-time N.C. State commitment for the 2012 class. Graham is believed to be attending prep school this fall and will likely use that time and become a recruit for the next recruiting cycle.
The Gamecocks have finalized their plans for the 2012 class when they got word from power forward Michael Carrerra will sign with the Gamecocks and become the sixth new player for South Carolina this year. New coach Frank Martin has revamped the roster to include five new players along with Southern Mississippi transfer LaShay Page. He's currently out of roster spots for this year but should have three spots available for the 2013 recruiting class.
There are a few players in mind for USC next recruiting cycle including top prospects Sindarius Thornwell, Kris Jenkins and Troy Williams. The Gamecocks will have to keep their options open and Graham could be one to watch for South Carolina.
He's currently a four-star recruit on the Rivals network and is the 67th player overall for the class of 2012. The talent is there. He's very athletic and can get to the rim. He's also evolved his offensive game to become a big-time scorer. The question is his how he handles himself off the court. He's been through four high schools and has de-committed from N.C. State twice.
This may all be premature and the Gamecocks may not be interested in Graham at all, but Thaddeus Hall sure does want the Gamecock fans to give him some love on Twitter. If that's any indication, it tells me that USC may be well on its way to getting in the mix with Torian Graham.

Soy, Corn Seen Rising as Isaac May Hurt Crops; Wheat Called Up
Aug. 28 (Bloomberg) -- What follows are opening calls for U.S. grain and oilseed markets, which resume trading at 5 p.m. on the Chicago Board of Trade.
-- Soybean futures may open 2 cents to 4 cents a bushel higher on speculation that rain from Hurricane Isaac may cause damage and increase disease in immature crops, Tim Hannagan, a grain specialist at Alpari U.S. LLC in Chicago, said in a telephone interview.
-- Corn futures are called to open 1 cent to 2 cents a bushel higher as rain and wind from Isaac in the next five days threaten yields, Hannagan said.
-- Wheat futures may open steady to 2 cents a bushel higher on speculation that dry weather will reduce Australian production, limiting global supplies, Hannagan said.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - The Kansas City Chiefs have traded cornerback Javier Arenas to the Arizona Cardinals for fullback Anthony Sherman.
Arena started a career-high nine games in 2012, with 59 tackles and a forced fumble. He was third in the NFL in punt returns with a 12.8-yard average in 2011.
A fifth-round pick in 2011, Sherman was primarily a blocking back, catching 13 passes for 111 yards and rushing for three yards in two seasons with Arizona.
First-year Cardinals coach Bruce Arians brought in a new offensive system that rarely uses the fullback spot.

Mmmm...not necessarily. I can see where HD-DVD has an advantage, namely they are a bit more strict as far as quality control goes in that they set higher minimum standards than the Blu-Ray camp has set.
Blu-Ray indeed has the physical capability of going further than HD-DVD does, by quite a long shot. However, both content producers and hardware manufacturers are allowed to be a lot more lazy when it comes to making blu-ray products.
Just as an example, manufacturers are allowed to make blu-ray players that don't support dolby truehd at all, and content producers are allowed to make discs that don't include truehd tracks. HD-DVD on the other hand, all discs are required to have a truehd soundtrack, and all device manufacturers are required to include truehd playback support.
Again, that is just an example, as there are many other bits and pieces specifying color accuracy, encoding quality and other technical bits that I for the most part have little understanding of, where HD-DVD sets a higher minimum standard than blu-ray from what I have heard.
But remember that in spite of that, it is still physically possible for blu-ray content to go further than HD-DVD, just not required.
Personally I have little to no interest in investing in either format right now.
EDIT: Oh, I see you were being sarcastic
Well, what I said still stands. I really don't favor either format, so you effectively have my objective opinion anyways.

How can the environment shape the response to drugs?
This study in non-human primates shows how social factors can influence the level of dopamine receptors and the propensity to self administer drugs. Illustrated above are PET images of the brains of monkeys that were initially individually housed (left) and then group housed (right). Those emerging at the top of their social rank – experiencing less stress and more access to natural rewards – expressed more dopamine receptors (bright yellow) and took less cocaine than did submissive monkeys (green symbols on graph).

Bucks Shaun Livingston says knee "80-90 percent"
Dec 28, 2011, 4:22 PM EDT
The fact that Shaun Livingston is back on the court and playing in NBA games is in and of itself a miracle.
He suffered as gruesome an on-the-court injury as any of us have ever seen in 2007 with the Clippers. It tore his anterior cruciate, posterior cruciate and lateral meniscus, his knee joint was basically dislocated, and there was more.
It took years of hard work to get where he is now — back as a member of the Bucks this season who played 35 minutes against the Timberwolves Tuesday. He was once considered a potential franchise cornerstone for the Clippers, now he is a solid veteran role player.
It's in part because of the knee, which he told the Journal Times is not fully healed and never will be.
"My knee is probably about 80 to 90 percent of what it was before the injury," Livingston said. "To me, I feel I've peaked. I'm at a point now where I don't feel my leg is going to give out. My leg doesn't get tired before the rest of my body gets tired now. I just might not be able to move at the same gear that I used to move it, but I feel I can be a good player and contribute a lot."
Livingston went the hard way from being a player who relied on his physical gifts to one who uses his basketball IQ to beat players. That is a slow evolution over years for many NBA players, Livingston had to do it on film study and limited time on the court for years.
Now he's back and looking good. It's about as good a story as there is in the NBA.
- njsteeler - Dec 28, 2011 at 5:24 PM
Good for him! Been a fan of his since he joined the league, and thought he had the potential to be special. A 6′ 8 pass first PG. Too bad the injuries took away a lot of his game. I've always wondered just how good he could have been if he had stayed healthy.
- slopmcflop - Dec 28, 2011 at 5:38 PM
Glad to hear it. Dude was a phenom before the injury. That big at the point position, but could still blow by you and finish at the rim. Wish him a healthy career from here on out. I mean, he did pretty much go through a careers worth of injuries all at once. Nasty injury.
- 00maltliquor - Dec 29, 2011 at 1:54 AM
He's been getting plenty of burn and I'm glad to see (hear) of it. Really could have been something very special.
