Glen Hansard is on tour now, and since we last spoke the legendary Richard Thompson was added as an opener to a few dates. One of those is the Brooklyn show happening Monday (11/30) at Kings Theater.
Glen's other NYC show, Tuesday (12/1) at Beacon Theatre, is with August Wells who also joined him at Housing Works in September. Tickets for both NYC shows are still available. Updated dates are listed below.
Richard Thompson returned this year with the Jeff Tweedy-produced album Still, which just landed on MOJO's Top 50 LPs of 2015 list. Listen to a track from that below...

Glen Hansard played Housing Works w/ The Frames' Graham Hopkins & Colm Mac Con Iomaire who also played Rockwood
by Sachyn Mital
Glen & Colm at Housing Works
The Frames / The Swell Season's Glen Hansard releases his new album Didn't He Ramble today (9/18) on ANTI-, and ahead of that he celebrated with a midnight pop-up show at NYC's Housing Works on Wednesday (so technically Thursday, 9/17). Before his show though, another Frames member, violinist, Colm Mac Con Iomaire, was making his debut US solo performance at NYC's Rockwood Music Hall (stage 3). Frames drummer Graham Hopkins guested on a few tracks, and apparently Hansard was somewhere in the house, though we didn't see him.
Iomaire played a lovely set of tunes that included the lead single from his second album, this year's And Now The Weather (Agus Anois An Aimsir), "The Finnish Line" as well as a song inspired by the passing of a family member, "In the Arms of the Angels" and one based on a forty minute long poem, "Sappho's Daughter". While switching up instruments, Iomaire knocked over a guitar stand, and laughed it off by saying that would be about as "rock and roll" as his show was going to get.
Then at midnight, the whole crew went over to Housing Works for Glen Hansard's show. Hopkins backed Hansard at this one too, as did keyboardist Justin Carroll (who also played with Colm Mac Con Iomaire earlier). The rest of the band included Jeanie Lim on viola, Simone Vitucci on cello, Curtis Fowlkes on trombone and Joe Doyle on bass. Iomaire joined them mid-set, as did August Wells and Brendan O'Shea, to sing a couple songs and build upon the familial vibe.
Hansard's set was Ramble heavy but he did include The Frames' "Revelate" and The Swell Season's "When Your Mind's Made Up" (with Iomaire). Hansard at one point noticed a book called 'The Secret Life of Frames' was placed on a pillar facing his microphone and joked someone at Housing Works deliberately left it there, so he would buy it.
Colm Mac Con Iomaire plays another NYC show on Sunday (9/20) at the Scratcher Cafe (209 E 5th St). That starts at 8:15 PM. Glen's tour brings him back to NYC on 11/30 at Kings Theatre and 12/1 at Beacon Theatre (tickets).

Glen Hansard has an upcoming tour in suppot of his new album Didn't He Ramble which includes a couple pretty big NYC shows: 11/30 at Kings Theatre and 12/1 at Beacon Theatre (tickets), but he'll play a smaller show here much sooner.
The album comes out this Friday (9/18) on ANTI-, and Glen plays a midnight show at Housing Works on Wednesday (9/16) (11:30 PM doors), which doubles as a benefit for the fight to end AIDS and homelessness. Tickets for this intimate show are on sale now.
The album is now streaming via NPR. Listen, with his updated list of dates, below...

David Byrne covered 'Uptown Funk,' honored at Carnegie Hall tribute w/ Sharon Jones, Amanda Palmer, Steve Earle & more (pics, video, setlist)

Last night was the David Byrne tribute show at Carnegie Hall which brought out a host of cool musicians to perform songs by Talking Heads and other Byrne songs. This was the 11th annual tribute show at Carnegie, which are produced by City Winery's Michael Dorf and benefit NYC music education programs. The show was over two and a half hours long and ended with the man himself marching down the aisles with a marching band, covering Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk." If you thought that Carnegie Hall might be the one place you'd never hear that song, you were wrong (video below), and it was a joyous capper to a very fun night.
The night opened with the Little Kids Rock band (one of the charities these shows fund) covering "Stay Up Late" which was appropriate for this School Night and they brought endless enthusiasm to the Little Creatures song. For such dance-friendly music as Byrne's, Carnegie Hall is maybe not the best venue (percussion/low end suffers in that room), but we all made do and there were some great performances. Esperanza Spalding took on another Little Creatures song, "Road to Nowhere," and brought some New Orleans funk and soul to the chorus; Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top gave "Houses in Motion" boogie and twang (not to mention endless cool), and he also added a mean guitar solo to Steve Earle's take on "A Million Miles Away."
Amanda Palmer w/ Alexis Krauss, Glen Hansard, Antibalas
"I didn't think about being eight months pregnant when I agreed to do this song," admitted a very showing Amanda Palmer, adding "The lyrics take on new meaning." Palmer, with help from Jherek Bischoff, took on "Once in a Lifetime" and she brought her cranked-to-11 personality and stage presence to that. She also brought Alexis Krauss of Sleigh Bells for Don't Look Back style cue-carding and Glen Hansard on backing vocals. Krauss did a fine job handing "Life During Wartime" (and talked a little about being a NYC schoolteacher) and Hansard performed a stripped down version of "Girlfriend is Better."
It wasn't until late in the show that the crowd all finally jumped to its feet, thanks to Sharon Jones who delivered a knockout performance of "Psycho Killer." The crowd stayed up for Santigold, backed by her flygirl dancers, who did "Burning Down the House." Then Cee-Lo, maybe a weird choice for this, came out for "Take Me to the River," taking out the Talking Heads jitteriness and putting back some of the smooth Al Green. (In a velvet garb, he also looked a giant Shar-Pei.) Then the marching band (which seems to be Byrne's new obsession) hit. Full performer/setlist rundown and pictures from Carnegie Hall are in this post.
The party kept going later that night at City Winery (where they had rehearsals the night before) which featured Malian band Songhoy Blues whose amazing energy definitely primed the crowd for the fun and very loose set by Antibalas who were the backing band at the tribute show. (The free wine and beer added a lot to the looseness of everyone onstage or off.) They performed a few of the songs that were done earlier in the night, including an extended version of "Crosseyed and Painless," but the highlight was an improvised number by Sharon Jones that was a little like "Land of a Thousand Dances" but in her own style, and she also battled on the congas with Antibalas frontman Amayo. As much fun as the tribute was, that will be the moment I remember from the night. A short instagram video of that, plus more pics, video and the setlist from Carnegie, below.

It's only February, but Doveman (aka Thomas Bartlett) is already having a characteristically busy year. He's currently on tour as a backing musician for past collaborator Glen Hansard, along with his fellow Sufjan Stevens/The National/Justin Vernon collaborator Rob Moose and his fellow Rufus/Martha Wainwright collaborator Brad Albetta. That tour wraps up this weekend. All remaining dates and a video from Wednesday's (2/10) DC show, below.
Ahead of that tour, Glen Hansard joined Doveman for one of his Burgundy Stain Sessions in Dublin in December, his second session ever to take place outside of NYC. The next session will be back in NYC on May 14 at Le Poisson Rouge. Guests are still TBA, but tickets are on sale now.
In between the Glen Hansard tour and the LPR show, Doveman will be on an international tour with the mostly-Irish supergroup he's part of, The Gloaming. It begins in their home country, where fellow Irish musician Glen Hansard's band The Frames play their 25th anniversary shows this July. All Doveman and Glen Hansard-related dates are listed below.
Doveman also played on and helped mix the upcoming Sufjan Stevens album, Carrie & Lowell, which comes out March 31 via Asthmatic Kitty. Sufjan was just announced for the Justin Vernon and Aaron Dessner-curated Eaux Claires Music Festival happening in Wisconsin on July 17 & 18 with Bon Iver, The National, Spoon, The Tallest Man on Earth and more. Tickets are on sale now. Sufjan will also be in NYC three times on his upcoming tour, which ends two days before Doveman's show in Sufjan's hometown.

Chance the Rapper / wet Glen Hansard / Run the Jewels / London Grammar
4:20 PM: When his phone is handy, Killer Mike likes to tweet out a 4:20 reminder every day. During Run the Jewels' set at the Palladia Stage he needed a little help: "Happy 4:20 -- Somebody tweet that for me!" he yells.Lollapalooza 2014 wrapped up on Sunday (8/3) with sets from Chance the Rapper (who brought out R. Kelly), Run the Jewels, Chromeo, London Grammar, The Avett Brothers, and lots more, plus a few cloudbursts which were embraced by mud dancers as well as Glen Hansard as you can see above.
4:22 PM: During Run the Jewels' performance, El-P screams at security to stop roughing up a female audience member. Then, moments later: "Oops, my bad, it's a guy... And I just added insult to injury calling him a girl!"
9:09 PM: Chance The Rapper offers a real hometown treat when he brings out surprise guest R. Kelly. The fellow Chicagoan warbles the chorus of "The World's Greatest," the intro of "Bump 'n Grind" and some of "Ignition (Remix)" alongside the young MC. - [Billboard]

Iron & Wine, Calexico, Glen Hansard, Kathleen Edwards and friends played 'Fallon' and WFUV holiday show (pics & video)
photos by Dylan Johnson
Iron & Wine, Nick Lowe and more @ Beacon Theatre
[Sam] Beam sang, in his gentle high tenor, about memories and connections, families and lovers. His songs, at their core, are folky ballads that mingle storytelling with more abstruse thoughts. But he has embellished them in various ways through the years: with folk-rock, country, jazz, even a little R&B. The "In the Reins" EP was his first experiment with horns -- Calexico's pair of mariachi trumpets -- but not his last; two horn players from his current Iron and Wine band, Curtis Fowlkes on trombone and Stuart Bogie on saxophone and flute, were also on hand, giving some songs a nudge toward jazz.The WFUV Holiday Cheer benefit went down at Beacon Theatre last week (12/10) with Iron and Wine and Calexico (who collaborated on 2005's In the Reins EP) plus Kathleen Edwards, Beth Orton, Nick Lowe, Glen Hansard and Amos Lee. The show saw the artists doing different collaborations throughout the night, and there were parts where the entire bill shared the stage at once. In addition to teaming up for each other's original songs, the artists did some covers, including Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah." Pictures of the show are in this post.
Calexico carried [Kathleen] Edwards's "Soft Place to Land" from a pensive hush into sorrowful peaks, and it stoked the rhythm just enough behind two incantatory songs from [Beth] Orton, the chugging "Call Me the Breeze" and the enveloping "Mystery." It was just retro enough for [Nick] Lowe's wry, elegantly turned novelty song "Christmas at the Airport" and straightforwardly pop for his "Cruel to Be Kind."
For [Glen] Hansard, the Irish songwriter behind the musical "Once," Calexico was attentive to the songs' dramatic arcs of loss and redemption. [NY Times]
One of the other songs covered at the show was The Pogues' holiday classic, "Fairytale of New York" which Iron & Wine, Calexico, Glen Hansard, and Kathleen Edwards also covered later in the week on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. You can watch a video of that performance, along with more pictures of the Beacon Theatre show, below.

WFUV's holiday show is tonight w/ Iron & Wine, Glen Hansard, Beth Orton, Kathleen Edwards, Amos Lee & more
Beth Orton at LPR in July (more by Robert Altman)
Earlier this year, we mentioned that WFUV would be doing their Holiday Cheer benefit at Beacon Theatre, which happens TONIGHT (12/10) with Iron & Wine, Calexico, and Nick Lowe. As if that wasn't already a fantastic lineup of folk/singer-songwriter type stuff, since we last spoke, more great atists were added, including Glen Hansard (The Frames, The Swell Season, Once), Kathleen Edwards, Beth Orton, and Amos Lee. Tickets for tonight's show are still available, but ticketmaster is saying "not many left."
UK singer Beth Orton will also bring her folktronica back to NYC for Lincoln Center's American Songbook series on February 14 in The Allen Room. Tickets for that show are still available. All Beth Orton dates are listed below...

DIIV / Charli XCX / DJ Jazzy Jeff @ Bonnaroo 6/14/2013
Bonnaroo's inaugural hip hop Superjam--an R&B/rap counterpart to the festival's long-running, rock-dominated all-star jam sessions--was an uninhibited, messy rager for still-partying night owls at the Tennessee music fest. Paul McCartney might have been the Friday night highlight, but if you wanted to dance, this was the show to see.Bonnaroo 2013 is definitely in the record books already, and we've posted a set of pictures from Day 2 (6/14) big names Paul McCartney, The Wu-Tang Clan, Wilco, and Jim James. But there was other stuff going on that Friday as well, including sets from Calexico, Big K.R.I.T, Charli XCX, Glen Hansard, DIIV, Amadou & Mariam, and the hip hop "Superjam" featuring RZA, Jazzy Jeff, Schoolboy Q, Solange, Chad Hugo (Neptunes/NERD) and more. Photos from those acts are in this post.
The slickest and sickest set came from Solange, who enraptured the crowd with a funky, lovely cover of the Fugees' version of "Killing Me Softly." She also sang the hook on surprise guest Ghostface Killah's Supreme Clientele single "Cherchez La Ghost" and covered "Umi Says," an uplifting jam from Mos Def's solo debut. - [Fuse]
If you missed them, our earlier pictures from Day 1 are HERE and HERE, Day 3 are HERE and Day 4 are HERE. More photos from 6/14 are below.

Tickets go on sale today (6/15) at noon. All tour dates, including his rescheduled run with Eddie Vedder, are listed below.
This past Tuesday (6/12), the same day he played an intimate benefit show at Housing Works, Glenn stopped by creative company Mother New York to play a private show in their offices. Jason Leiva was there and supplied us with the pictures you see in this post. More below.
Back in March Glen, whose irst ever solo album Rhythm and Repose is out on Anti- Records on June 19, went down to Austin where he played a bunch of sets at SXSW including one at our own Hotel Vegan. NYC Taper was there and he recently posted the audio. Download that at his site!
And last but not least, congratulations to Glen whose "Once" musical (which he co-wrote but, unlike the movie, he does not star in) just took home 8 Tony Awards!
"Once," a slowly unfolding tale of two Dublin musicians falling in love, emerged early as the night's favorite, winning for John Tiffany's direction and for its book, by the Irish playwright Enda Walsh, as well as for set, lighting, sound design and orchestrations. (The actors in "Once" double as the show's band.)And congrats to the ten finalists in the "Falling Slowly" cover contest! You can watch all ten video entries at Once the Musical's Youtube page.
Near the end of the broadcast Steve Kazee, who plays the emotionally broken guitarist at the center of "Once," won for best actor and used his acceptance speech to thank his cast mates for bucking him up after his mother's death in April, shortly after the musical opened.
"This cast has carried me around, and made me feel alive, and I will never be able to fully repay them," Mr. Kazee said. [NY Times]

Tickets are on sale for the June 12th show (which happens a bit less than three weeks before he headlines Beacon Theater).
by Rachel Kowal
Given the natural, understated quality of Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová's heartfelt performances in the movie Once, it's hard to imagine anyone else successfully embodying their roles. The movie not only starred them, but was written by them; it was inspired by their story. And it takes some time to get comfortable with the new faces. But the transition from the screen to the stage isn't too much of a stretch. Much of the music has already been written, after all.
For the most part, Once, which recently opened on Broadway after a three-month run at a smaller theatre in the East Village, closely resembles the film. Girl meets boy busking on the streets in Dublin and soon (a bit too soon?) the two are sharing intimate details of their lives and making music together. Of course, it's not so simple.
With his polished good looks, Steve Kazee as the male lead comes across as a bit too suave and content for a man who supposedly embodies a dispirited loner, and Cristin Milioti as his counterpart lacks some of Irglová's vulnerability - not to mention, her character's Czech background can sometimes feel forced ("I'm always serious. I'm Czech!" she kept repeating for laughs, in an exaggerated accent). But any reservations about the new cast evaporate as soon as they pick up an instrument and begin to sing. Imitating Hansard's distinctive growl of a voice is no easy task, but Kazee holds his own. And the supporting cast (especially David Patrick Kelly as the man's father) is charming.
Though, it is billed as "fun" and "life affirming," the musical, like the film, is just as heartbreaking as it is romantic. As circumstance would have it, he has an unfinished love in New York, and she has a small child and - though we never see or hear him - a husband. As much as they might want to, running away together is never really an option. But in this case, the unnamed characters' quiet resignation to their separate fates only raises the story's emotional impact.
The stage setting - the dimly lit interior of a pub - is minimal. With a few small tweaks, the audience is made to imagine a music shop, a flat, and in one scene, the Irish coast. But the bare bones staging adds to the warmth of the production. The typical marks of a big-ticket Broadway production - flashy scenery and overly produced music - are wisely omitted by director John Tiffany in favor of a more modest musical with a big heart.
Once is on Broadway now. Tickets are at Telecharge, and there's a cast recording too.
In related news, Glen Hansard has a solo album on the way (that both Marketa Irglova and Cristin Milioti contributed to).
You can watch a montage video from the musical, below...

Glen Hansard @ Hotel Vegan (BV-SXSW 2012)
Anti- reveals:
Over 20 years in the making, singer songwriter Glen Hansard will release his first ever solo album, Rhythm and Repose, on Anti- Records June 19. Best known for his work with The Frames, The Swell Season and in the feature film Once, for which he won an Academy Award, Rhythm and Repose is Hansard's debut solo album and first album of new material since his 2009 release Strict Joy with The Swell Season. The album will be available for presale at http://www.anti.com/storeGlen Hansard previewed some of those new songs at SXSW where one of the shows he played was the BrooklynVegan day party at 'Hotel Vegan' on Thursday, March 15th. Some pictures and videos from his 12:45pm set are in this post.
In recent months Hansard has been seen in the documentary The Swell Season which has toured the film festival circuit this year, contributed two songs to the blockbuster soundtrack, The Hunger Games, and been active in the promotion of Once, The Musical which successfully opened on Broadway on March 18 to rave reviews, including the New York Times who explains, "what was always wonderful about 'Once,' its songs and its staging, has been magnified." Hansard will support the new record on a U.S. tour.
Rhythm and Repose is a result of Hansard's last year and a half of living in New York City. The album was recorded by Patrick Dillett (David Byrne, Arto Lindsay, Laurie Anderson) and produced by Thomas Bartlett (Doveman, The National, Antony and the Johnsons). The record features the musical talents of Brad Albetta (Martha Wainwright) on bass, Ray Rizzo on drums, Nico Muhly and Rob Moose on strings (Bon Iver, Y Music), David Mansfield on slide guitar (Dylan's Rolling Thunder Tour), Javier Mas (Leonard Cohen touring band) and half of Bruce Springsteen's current horn section. Assisting on vocals are Cristin Milioti (Once, The Musical), Sam Amidon, Marketa Irglova and Aida Shahghasemi (Marketa Irglova touring band).
As the above blurb points out, the Once musical is running NOW in NYC, though Glen does not personally act or sing in it.
Glen, who meanwhile is hitting the road with Eddie Vedder, will headline four select shows in June including one on June 29 at Beacon Theater. Tickets for the NYC show went on presale today, and will become available to all as of 9am on Thursday (4/5).

HARTFORD, Ky. (AP) - A group of researchers is trying to put together a statewide weather monitoring network that would also pull together historical data.
The project is called Kentucky Mesonet. State climatologist Stuart Foster says the group has put up monitoring equipment in six places but has a goal of finding 100 such sites across the state.
Foster says the network will collect real-time data about wind speed, precipitation and other conditions. The information will be updated every 15 minutes and sent to the National Weather Service and a Web site decided to the project.

Mexican Home Cooking School and Romantic B & B
Our class at the Mexican Home Cooking School
Mar 24, 2013 06:55 pm
Flying to Mexico for a cooking class in the middle of a Minnesota winter seemed a perfect way to restore the circulation in our frostbitten fingers and toes.
As the van that picked us up from the airport rounded a final bend in the road and the generous gardens and patio of Jon and Estella's bougainvillea laced hacienda came into view on the hill, it appeared that we were off to a fine start. Indeed, we were.
Our 5 days and nights at the school far surpassed even the best of our fanciful expectations.
Our accommodations were beautiful and serene, filled with light and classical Mexican architectural detail and design. The corner fireplace was a delight as we sat up in our enormous bed, watching the flames, sipping our morning coffee.
After a leisurely breakfast, served on the patio by Maria, our housekeeper – assistant cook – and excellent maker of margaritas, our classes began at 10:00.
The intimate size of the classes (6 maximum; there were 5 in our party) insures that everyone has ample time to make fools of themselves, and to celebrate as a particular technique is mastered, all in the good humored and comfortable atmosphere of the big, cheerful kitchen.
Jon is the Sous Chef, quietly instructing us in the hands-on capture and dissection of the many varieties of chili peppers, and the shaving of cactus leaves, the preparation of herbs and spices, and in the art of mixing the masa and stuffing the tamales.
He is also an occasional interpreter for his wife, Estella. Her English is limited, though she possesses an articulate array of dramatic gestures and facial expressions, leaving no one in doubt of the meaning of what she is saying, even if her verbs are occasionally askew, or a noun here and there startlingly redefined.
There are techniques and tricks for cooking certain of the recipe's ingredients that are critical to the success of the dish, and we are each given a turn at the stove to practice them. This would be difficult to learn from a book, But Estella's watchful eye and friendly hand guides us through the steps.
We watch, we do, we laugh, we learn.
Estella is the reincarnation of a long line of Pueblan grandmothers, at whose knee she learned her art and craft. She has made it her mission to keep alive the knowledge and techniques that she fears may someday be lost.
At the end of each days' class, we will have made 6 or 7 dishes: appetizers, soup, salad, side dishes, entrees, and dessert, which Estella and Maria set out on the dining room table, beautifully plated and garnished, looking like the shiny cover of everyone's favorite cooking magazine.
It is irresistible; everyone takes out their camera. Some of these dishes will be served at lunch; others are for our evening meal. A proud day's work.
After lunch, we are free to nap, play Scrabble or Bananagram, read, wander the local village, or socialize. (We met a delightful and interesting couple who'd signed up for the week's classes, as we had, making us a party of 5 apprentices of varying experiences.) There is no t.v. at the school, thank goodness, though there is internet access.
Several afternoons, we took the easy, reliable taxi service to some of the neighboring towns and archeological sites. One day, we spent the entire afternoon in the city of Tlaxcala, mingling with the local people, crowded in the sidewalk cafes awaiting the Mardi Gras Carnival parade. There were troupes of dancers and musicians, many in costumes and masks, and clowns on stilts, children and adults, dogs, donkeys; all making their way to the town square for the crowning of the King and Queen.
It was a wonderful crowd, invariably polite, as we were among the few Norte Americanos, and it was especially fun watching the little children around us, excited, trying to catch the candy and treats tossed out from the passing floats, while the waiters threaded their way through the crowd bringing us the good Mexican beer.
Given the news that we often hear, I have to say that for our entire stay at the school and the several visits to towns large and small, there was not a moment when any of us experienced even a hint of uneasiness or danger. We felt entirely safe the whole time.
On the morning of our departure from the Mexican Home Cooking School, each of us received a diploma, and a notebook with freshly bound copies of the recipes we used through the week. It felt to us that we were leaving people who were not only our teachers, but who had become our friends. Hugs were exchanged all around. We'd love to return for a second course!

Had enough of people telling you you've got a September 10, 2011 mentality because you support the United States Constitution? On this shirt's front, a stylized American flag, along with the bold words in retort: I've Got a September 17, 1787 Mentality! That was the day the U.S. Constitution was ratified. On the back of this shirt: Protect American Liberty, Preserve the Constitution. Now that's real patriotism.

I was an aires, on the cusp of Taurus. Now I am two fish getting down with eachother. I ride single speed around town and haven't actually noticed any wobble (unless I've been drinking, then of course I am walking my bike )

I don't think the new sign thing will affect any of us in the Western world and Europe.
So I am still Scorpio and you are still an Aries.
See I have heard have heard that too, but I've never been into astrology.
My horoscope today says to take life more seriously, but only a little.

The new signs only affect people born after 2009. I don't know why people are making such a big deal out of it.
People don't like changes; some learn to adapt and others just b***h about it.
I thought the others just died out. Like the wooly mammoth. And non genetically altered corn. And bees.
I guess wooly mammoths aren't people. Bees probably aren't either, I haven't checked yet.
Last edited by arp415; 01-20-11 at 03:29 AM. Reason: Wooly mammoths aren't people, still checking on bees though...
I was more or less talking about changes from a sociological/psychological point of view.
Some b* about things always being the same. The good news is that in 5 years people in japan will have cloned the wooly mammoth. Why does his matter? I have heard that a pair of mammoth tusks can be converted into a fixed gear/single speed build.
The first time we realized that the aero wheel may indeed be a chick magnet:

On a technical level, where I confess I'm a neophyte and as such rely on Rich and Sunny, can I have this question answered? Would Newey, Horner or any of the engineering staff know more about the , present and future condition of the cars than the drivers? Would they be in any position to ask the drivers to make any adjustments to the vehicles? An observation ,did anyone see Vettel's look when he realised Newey was not laughing? Could this have had anything to do with the subsequent apology and will anyone be surprised if there is a change in the qualifying order? 1 agree 1 disagree

Addiction can be very destructive for individuals and families, children and adults. It knows no demographic boundaries and therefore anyone is at risk. It is my professional opinion that individuals who struggle with addiction should not be expected to change any differently than those individuals struggling with any other issue. That is, change is a process and doesn't come overnight. Therefore providing a non-judgmental, non-confrontational, and non-adversarial therapeutic environment is paramount to achieving stated goals since shame and guilt play a key role in the cycle of addiction. Clients should be held accountable for their actions, however not shamed by their clinician.
Tobacco dependence is a form of addiction that is lethal and often difficult to kick. Most smokers who are ready to quit can be successful using a combination of nicotine patches, social support, willpower and medications available through their primary physician. However, some find that they have tried to quit many times and were unsuccessful using orthodox methods.
I can help those who have tried and failed to quit using the usual methods of smoking cessation. The protocol I recommend adds a behavioral method called RS prior to the quit date and hypnosis on and just after the quit date to minimize the power of craving. (Note: I do not treat other types of addiction.)
My approach to the treatment of addictions is unorthodox. I begin with the assumption that addictions originate with a person's attempt at solving a problem. Initially the addiction is only a small part of the puzzle until it grows to cause serious side effects. Underneath the addiction lies the root causes (e.g. stress, relationship issues, career challenges) and addictions are the way people cope. At some point, the addiction dominates; however, treatment should spend a significant time focusing on the underlying factors as well as the addiction cycle.
I am a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist and Supervisor (CSAT-S), having been personally trained by Dr. Patrick Carnes. I utilize a specific clinical assessment called the Sexual Dependency Inventory to assess the presence of sexual addiction. I embrace recovery as a mwans to healthy living and healthy decision making by obtaining sobriety and utilizing concrete tools to aid in the process. Recovery os about healthy living and therefore involves the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of one's life. I treat addiction using individual, couple, and group modealities. I run a group for sex addicts and another for partners of sex addicts.
Sex addiction differs from any other addiction. Overcoming it is not as simple as going "cold turkey". It is about understanding where it originated for you and about learning to have a meaningful relationship with "sex". Most sex addicts enter treatment due to the fatigue of leading a "double life" or due to being caught by their loved one(s). This "bottom" is a fantastic motivator to change. Don't lose sight of what it can mean to be the person you know you want to be. Myself and the staff at Healing Solutions Counseling Center can provide the supportive services you need to heal from the inside out.
Addiction is devastating. Not only to the one suffering but also to loved ones. Support groups in South Carolina and counseling for gambling addiction in Tega Cay SC, sex addiction, Tega Cay SC internet addiction, drug addiction, and Tega Cay SC alcohol addiction is a vital tool for recovery. If you need a support group, counseling or treatment for addiction in Tega Cay SC, or need a therapist or clinic to help treat alcoholism or a substance abuse counselor Tega Cay, SC, Theravive South Carolina has life giving resources to overcome your dependency.

Jackson State quarterback Clayton Moore dives for the end zone for one of his three touchdown runs Saturday. Moore also threw two touchdown passes, and the Tigers edged Alabama State.
- Filed Under
For all the ups and downs the Jackson State football team has experienced this season, Saturday provided a much-needed moment of bliss.
And it came from an unlikely hero.
Ryan Deising, JSU's freshman kicker who had struggled with consistency issues all season - a trend that followed him into Saturday - connected on a 40-yard field goal as time expired to lift the Tigers to a 37-34 win over Alabama State in front of an announced 10,154 at the Cramton Bowl. For what felt like an eternity, Deising looked to the sky, his body torqued as if he were trying to twist the ball through the uprights. Once it did, ...

Great hotel clean room and a comfy bed
Staff very friendly and helpful the the was was very clean and warm
We where given the choice off ground or first floor and whether we wanted to overlook the car park or bowling green would definitely recommend
Good food and customer service but room was not the most comfortable
Staff were helpful and polite and the breakfast we had was very nice with lots of variety.
The room was a bit dated with an old tv and a very hard bed and pillow so unfortunately we did not sleep very well. Location was excellent, right near shops and restaurants.

The Tutor King of Hampton Court is very pleased to share a preview copy of his newest work Sex, Culture, Cognition & Career Choice: Investigating the Influence of Culture on Baron-Cohen's E-quotient and S-quotient among Americans and Armenians.
Many people hold the traditional view that women are more empathising, nurturing and caring than men. Also that men are born to be more technically-minded than women. It can appear as if girls were born to care for dollies while boys were genetically engineered to play with trucks and blocks. Click here to download the file.
Well my most recent research suggests otherwise.
I argue that the whole process of gendered behaviours is a result of cultural influences. For my MA research, I surveyed Armenians and compared these wonderful people to Americans. Previous research has suggested that women in Armenia are more systemising because in the 1990s and 2000s, women made up the vast majority of computer science college programmes, while in America, women only make up 15%.
What I found when I collected scores of empathising and systemising was that cultural differences influenced how systemising women were! The gender gap in systemising was twice as large for Americans as it was for Armenians.
But the real surprise was that there were no gender differences in empathising at all! Culture was the only difference, as Armenians were more empathetic than Americans, but within each culture, men were not statistically different from women in identifying others' emotions and responding accordingly.
So why do so many studies say the opposite? Well I suggest that these studies are flawed, usually sampling university students in very divisive college programmes that make them identify stronger with their scientific or humanistic disciplines. In reality, when people grow older and take jobs that are not so polarised, they actually equal out in their ability to be emotionally minded.
This work is the result of my research I did to earn my MA in Gender, Sexuality and Culture.
Please, have a read of my cross-cultural psychology article. If you would like to reference it in your research, go right ahead. Just acknowledge that it is currently under review with the Journal of Gender Studies. And if you want to talk to me about any comments or feedback you have about this piece of work, go ahead and email me at email@example.com.
Click here to download the file.
The present study reviews the debate of essential sex differences forwarded by Simon Baron-Cohen and the neuroconstructivism argument made by Cordelia Fine. Moreover, this study also examined sex differences in systemising and empathising across Armenia and the United States. Cultural differences in empathising and systemising were hypothesised based on the historically high numbers of female computer science graduates in Armenia, indicating a female preference for systemising. First, it was hypothesised that nationality would predict empathising and systemising while controlling for sex; second, that nationality would moderate the association between sex and systemising, with American males showing higher levels of systemising compared to American females and Armenian females showing equal or greater levels of systemising compared to Armenian males; and third, that nationality would predict differences in empathising and systemising while controlling for sex and empathising/systemising professions. Results revealed that Armenians were more empathising than Americans, with no sex differences within either culture; that men were more systemising across cultures, however, nationality moderated the association between sex and systemising, with a systemising gender gap greater for Americans than for Armenians; and that across the USA and Armenia, there were no differences in professions for empathising and systemising cognitions. Implications regarding the evidence of cross-cultural differences in systemising and empathising are discussed and support Fine's neuroconstructivism argument. For instance, it is proposed that Armenians are more empathising than Americans because their culture derives greater happiness from natural harmony and relationships whereas Americans find happiness through career aspirations and intellectual autonomy. Also, it is suggested that gender theorists should consider further exploring the language problem of Baron-Cohen's hypothesised use of language as either empathising (pragmatic language) or systemising (abstract systemising). Furthermore, this study calls for additional cross-cultural studies to find for nations where females are equal or greater to men in systemising-mindedness.

Binyamina Reserve Sauvignon Blanc represents the total refusal of Binyamina winemakers Sasson Ben Aharon and Asaf Paz to compromise on quality. This complex, intense wine is breathtakingly aromatic, displaying notes of rosemary, melon and redcurrant. The generous fruit continues in the flavor profile, revealing deeper layers of fig and grapefruit. Match Binyamina Reserve Sauvignon Blanc with ripe goat cheese, spinach quiche or any fish dishes.
Goes well with fish dishes, ripe goat cheeses and vegetarian quiches.
Exceptional aromatic blend of ripe fruit and prominent herbality with an elegant and bracing fruit and citrus flavors.

Wow! What a brilliant trip :- The Wildlife Cruise is a MUST but be warned ... even the skipper said it was one of the best he'd had in 8 years of skippering the boat! Loads of wave jumping, heaps of dolphins and seals and perfect weather and some great sea swell. Dameo certainly knows how to handle that boat ... Thumbs up from me and my Mum and Dad quietly ... in their 70's :-D
