Fast Times at Wired Hit a Speed Bump
By AMY HARMON
Published: August 4, 1997
When the idea for a redesigned Wired magazine circulated among the Wired Ventures brain trust this spring, it was first called Wired 2.0, in the vernacular computer software companies use to denote an upgrade. After some discussion, though, one participant said, ''We decided Wired is basically fine; so we're calling it 1.X.''
The ''1.X'' designation may reflect a persistent aversion to self-criticism at the digital revolution's most visible icon. But after a year in which the parent company's planned initial public stock offering was twice rejected by Wall Street and Wired-bashing became a favorite sport among some readers and in other publications, there are signs that Wired Ventures' notorious hubris is giving way to a somewhat humbler approach.
Wired Ventures, the San Francisco-based parent of Wired, Wired Digital and Wired Books, began as the publisher of a startlingly innovative magazine but preferred to fancy itself ''a new kind of global, diversified media company for the 21st century,'' according to its prospectus. Now, it is reining in some empire-building efforts, while the magazine, still the heart of the company, does its own brand of soul-searching.
The shift comes at a time when many of the ideas about the emerging technosociety that Wired was the first to herald have been widely embraced by the mainstream media. Yet the company's vicissitudes are perhaps themselves the best example of the difficulty of making the leap from culture to commerce. And Wired watchers inside and outside the company say that following through on such an attitude adjustment may be critical to its ability to publish Wired versions 1.Y or 3.Z.
In the most significant of the recent moves, and one seen by many as long overdue, one of Wired's co-founders, Louis Rossetto, said last month that he would step down as chief executive as soon as a replacement was found. Like the archetypal visionary founder of the software start-ups that Wired has often chronicled, Mr. Rossetto supplied the idealism, drive and talent for self-promotion without which the company could never have gotten off the ground, but he is seen as lacking the business skill to guide it forward.
Mr. Rossetto, who is 48, was once a darling of the old news media, as Wired magazine first seized hold of the popular imagination. (''Wired is more than a successful magazine. Like Rolling Stone in the 60's, it has become the totem of a major cultural movement,'' an article in The New York Times Magazine said in 1995. ''Rossetto's timing was flawless.'')
But lately he has been losing the battle for public perception. In an electronic-mail message to the Wired staff that landed on the Internet last fall, he complained of ''shoddy, if not malicious stories'' about the proposed Wired offering.
In recent months, Mr. Rossetto has taken to dashing off vitriolic letters to publications that write critical stories about the company and warning employees not to speak to reporters. He did not return numerous calls requesting an interview for this article. Neither did Jane Metcalfe, Wired's president and co-founder and Mr. Rossetto's domestic partner.
A company spokesman said that the magazine had been profitable for the first six months of this year, but the company continues to lose money over all because of cash drains at its Hotwired World Wide Web site and its book publishing division.
In the first six months of last year, Wired Ventures' most recent published results show a $35 million loss, which includes a $20.5 million charge related to the start-up of Hotwired. The company received $21.5 million from private institutional investors after it shelved its plan for a public offering last October.
''The people who are brilliant at starting these things are not necessarily the people who should take it into the stage of growth that Wired is at,'' said Nicholas Negroponte, director of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Media Laboratories, one of Wired's early investors and its senior columnist.
Mr. Negroponte, who was also featured on the cover of Wired's November 1995 issue, said that Mr. Rossetto would be ''more ambitious than ever'' in his continuing roles as publisher of Wired magazine and Wired Ventures' chairman and director of new product development.
''One has to decide if one is going to do other magazines, for example,'' Mr. Negroponte said.
But for now, Wired is scaling back or at least redefining some of Mr. Rossetto's loftier aspirations. Plans for a television show and a British edition of Wired were scuttled earlier this year, though not before sucking up much-needed capital.
Last month, Wired Books, which set out to do no less than ''reinvent the publishing medium,'' laid off six people -- nearly half its staff -- and said it would seek a partner for manufacturing and distribution. The division's publisher and president, Peter Rutten, resigned last week.
''I'm disappointed,'' Mr. Rutten said. ''I was hired to set up an independent book company that does everything, that could approach an author and say, 'Can you write about how this is changing our culture?' What they want now is more of a packaging unit that ties into Wired Magazine's editorial content.''

Steven Adler ready for a Guns N' Roses reunion (meanwhile Mr. Brownstone are back again, playing Halloween @ Baby's)
Former Guns N' Roses drummer Steven Adler would not hesitate to get back together with Slash and Axl, if that's what they decide to do, as Blabbermouth points out:
Asked about the persistent rumors of a reunion of the GUNS N' ROSES' classic lineup, Adler recently said: "I have no idea. Put it this way: I've known [former GUNS guitarist] Slash for 38 years, we've known each other. He knows damn well if he told me something that I would climb the highest mountain and I would be screaming it out for joy. So, if anything happens, I will be the last to know about it."Meanwhile, Steven Adler has been playing Guns songs on the drums with his band Adler. Video footage from a recent show at Mohegan Sun can be viewed below, "Night Train", "Sweet Child of Mine", and "Mr. Brownstone" included.
He continued: "I'm just glad that I had an opportunity in my life to achieve my dreams, to play with such great people and such talented people and make such a great record with those people. And just being a part of it, I'm happy. I could go to heaven right now and be happy."
Slash recently revealed that he and GUNS lead singer Axl Rose had repaired their estranged relationship after nearly 20 years, immediately leading to a storm of speculation about a possible reunion of the classic GUNS lineup.
Speaking of Mr. Brownstone, the Guns N' Roses tribute band of the same name, who have broken up and returned many times (who was at their "final" show at Bowery Ballroom in 2006?), are BACK AGAIN for a drunken MIDNIGHT Halloween show at Baby's All Right (plenty of time to trick or treat before this Saturday night show starts). Tickets are available.
Mr. Brownstone, known as the world's drunkest Guns N' Roses cover band, have been BrooklynVegan regulars for over 9 years, have shared members with Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and Satanicide, often return for holidays, and once actually got themselves on Letterman (Letterman's worst band ever?) . The above photo by Tim Griffin comes from their 2009 Eugene Mirman book release party performance at the Bell House. Halloween at Baby's will be their first show since New Year's Eve at Mercury Lounge... Will it be their last?
Those videos of ADLER are below...

photo: LCD Soundsystem's final (?) show (more by Dominick Mastrangelo)
It feels like that "final" LCD Soundsystem show was just yesterday (maybe because they keep milking it?) but they might already be set to reunite. There's no official announcement, but Consequence of Sound says:
Multiple sources have confirmed to Consequence of Sound that LCD Soundsystem are planning a comeback in 2016. As we hear it, the band will headline at least three high-profile music festivals in the US and UK, with an official announcement expected soon.Could this be true? It doesn't really seem like James Murphy's style. We shall see.
UPDATE: Reputable music biz trade mag Billboard are also saying that a "well-placed source" confirms to them that LCD are "definitely reuniting" in 2016. DFA employees are denying it, but we're also hearing that it's true!
In other news, Murphy DJ'd National Sawdust's opening night last week.
an interview w/ Donita Sparks of L7 (who are on tour now, playing Irving Plaza tonight, Warsaw Wednesday)
"People ask if we're gonna do another album. I don't know if we're gonna do that."
One of the Grunge Era's most notoriously confrontational and outstanding acts is back on tour and preparing a documentary of the reunion. We recently caught them at Riot Fest in Denver, and they'll be playing the first of two NYC shows tonight (9/8 at Irving Plaza, and then it's 9/9 at Warsaw). Hellacious and just as heavy, L7's legacy is familiar to many bands that hailed from the West Coast's early 90's offering of angst and post-baby boomer generation's utter disillusionment with society in general. For vocalist/guitarist Donita Sparks, the reunion is a recognizable place for the group but also one that brings along with it some humbling and amazing new developments. In a recent conversation, Sparks spoke of the band's reunion and why timing is everything.
BV: What was it that made this the right time for you guys to get back together and do these shows after all this time?
Donita: I don't know if it was the right time. It was probably the wrong time because so many other bands are reuniting at this time. [Laughs.] Sometimes we get lumped in with other bands, but this really couldn't have happened for us before this time. We've had health problems in the band. We've had some of us taking care of elderly parents. So this is really the only time that this could've happened for us. It just so happened that when I called everybody about a year ago and just said, "Hey, is this something you would even be slightly interested in," I got the go ahead from some of us, but Suzi [Gardner] needed time to think about it. So I told her that I needed an answer in about six months, because they had to start booking stuff, and she said yes. But it took a while because she hadn't touched her guitar in about fourteen years or something. It had just been under her bed. [Laughs.] So it wasn't just a matter of hey, do we wanna do this. It was more of us saying, "Can we do this? Is it even possible?" So yeah, here we are.
Just in the brief time you've been back at this and prepping for the tour, have you noticed significant changes in music culture and even the industry that weren't really there seventeen years ago?
Donita: Well, when we disbanded, our popularity had seriously waned, and it was really just the diehard fans that stuck with us, which we're thankful for. Now we're seeing people our age and really young teenagers at these shows just going apeshit. What's so cool is that I think the social media aspect has turned all these kids on to us. Our diehard fans had been posting stuff on YouTube like interviews, songs, and it really kept us alive even though we felt we'd been forgotten about by the media sort of like our legacy was buried by other sort of spokespeople of the era. The fans were so amazing that they kind of archived us digitally for years in our absence, because we weren't doing it. And then certainly through this Facebook page we've had for about a year-and-a-half, the numbers just grew and grew as I was posting things that I was already digitizing for the documentary. The fans were really the catalyst for this. We're not on a record label. We sort of have a manager but it's really more of an acting manager. There's no machine behind this. [Laughs.] It's just us. We're playing to bigger crowds than possibly we ever had at our peak. This seems bigger somehow. It's pretty wild, but who knows how long it will last. [Laughs.]

Night two of the Grateful Dead's Fare Thee Well run-up got off to a funky and ferocious start. The cobwebs were shaken loose, the groove found its pocket in opener "Feel Like a Stranger," and all was well in Deadhead land as the truly faithful showed for the second night in a row and a slew of new nostalgia seekers and first timers got their twirl on. [Billboard]The reunited members of the Grateful Dead (along with Phish's Trey Anastasio in Jerry Garcia's spot) played their 2nd of two reunion shows in Santa Clara on Sunday night. The next three happen in Chicago this July 4th weekend (Can't be there? There's always YouTube, Dead.net, SiriusXM, Brooklyn Bowl, etc)
You saw the setlist and pictures from the first night. More photos and the setlist from the second, below...

UPDATE: We've also got pictures from the second night.

There are two kinds of Deadheads.We already talked a bit about the first of two Grateful Dead shows in Santa Clara this weekend (rainbow and setlist included). Now here's some photos. They continue HERE and below...
Those who think the Grateful Dead experience should have died with Jerry Garcia.
And those who think it can go on with a pinch-hitter in the band's MVP seat.
If ever there was a time for those in the first camp to come back and check out the Dead 2.0, it was this weekend at Levi's Stadium, the band's 50th anniversary and the last time the surviving four members would play together. A chance to pull out the tie-dyes one last time, see some old friends and wish the boys a fond farewell.
And the band delivered a set seemingly tailored for the old-timers, three and a half hours of their most classic songs, not one written after 1970. They plucked rarely played gems off of their 1967 debut album, and played one song --1969's "What's Become of the Baby" -- that the Dead had never played, with or without Garcia.
And this Dead, complete with that pinch-hitter -- Phish's Trey Anastasio -- did a pretty fair job of regenerating the kind of cosmic energy the original Grateful Dead was able to summon up during its 30-year lifespan. [San Jose Mercury News]

Primavera Sound 2015 lineup probably fake, Cocteau Twins reunion included (as Simon Raymonde confirms?)
The above photo of an alleged 2015 Primavera Sound music festival lineup is making the rounds. It claims Aphex Twin, who announced a new EP today, will finally take the stage again along with an amazing list of performers. If it's fake, which it probably is, it's a great fake because artist count and "Sleafor Mods" typo aside, it's somewhat believable and would be awesome. Most awesome of all would be the part that says "Cocteau Twins" who broke up in 1997 and haven't been heard from again (though they almost reunited in 2005 but then cancelled it).
Curious, we reached out to Cocteau Twins bassist Simon Raymonde for an answer. We were hoping of course that he would come back and tell us it was true, or that he couldn't comment. We expected him to just flat out deny it. What we got was sort of none of that. Here's what he said:
Simon Raymonde to BrooklynVegan:Note that he hasn't actually denied it.... Fingers crossed!
Really? I'm in the studio producing an album with The Duke Spirit at the moment so not looking at my phone much I'm afraid so I've managed to avoid this particular rumour so far!
There can't be many more bands left to reform can there, so I guess we are ripe for these kinda spoofs? I recently freaked out when I got an alert from my Bandsintown app telling me "Talking Heads are playing soon". It was sadly just a poetry night with the band name as the subtitle for the evening's entertainment. Crushing disappointment. So I can only imagine the potential anxiety level for our lovely loyal fans who will always yearn for our reunion even though they all understand it is as unlikely as a veteran Michael Gira performing a nightly residency at The Aladdin in Las Vegas. (A few of us might pay to see that though!)
Simon x
Meanwhile, Primavera Sound (which happens May 28-30 in Barcelona) has confirmed that both Ride and The Strokes will be playing. We'll have to wait for the official announcement to find out who else on that poster will really be there.
Simon Raymonde, who continues to run the label Bella Union that he co-founded with Robin Guthrie, released his own music as Snowbird in 2014.
Ride are also playing Coachella and Terminal 5 in NYC.
Drive Like Jehu 2014 reunion concert -- photos by Tod Seelie
Drive Like Jehu reunited to play their first show in 19 years in August. It happened in San Diego with a special pipe organ, and they claimed it was just for one show, but I guess someone convinced them to rethink that part. Drive Like Jehu are in fact on the Coachella 2015 lineup that was just announced. More dates on the way?
Meanwhile, catch DLJ member John Reis on tour playing instrumental surf rock with the Blind Shake.
Rick Froberg's current band Obits just played a show at the Acheron on New Year's Eve. How was that?
Happy Replacements fans in 2014 (more by P Squared Photography)
Tim Sommer has some issues with the Replacements. In the 2nd of two articles he's written about the recent reunion, he says:
It is possible that my own archival experiences with the Replacements may have affected my ability to appreciate the pure delight people are feeling upon seeing the renascent Replacements in 2014. See, back in the day (early-ish/middish 1980s) I saw them play five terrible shows, I mean shows that really insulted both the audience and the bands' talents; also, I have known too many people who were hurt or insulted by Westerberg; and last but most certainly not least, in the Fall of 1983 I walked into the apartment on Eldridge Street I was sharing with Jack Rabid, and found a naked Bob Stinson having sex on the kitchen floor. Please keep in mind that at that time the apartment had changed very little since Jacob Riis had photographed it in 1904 (except for the Bad Brains flyers on the wall), and just the idea of anyone having sex on that filthy neo-tenement floor would give any person, decent or indecent, the willies. Frankly, I don't think I've been able to erase the memory from my mind, and it may have been contributed to development of a tumor on my optic nerve in the late 1990s (true story). So, I confess that a lot of that baggage probably got in the way of my appreciating just how much people are enjoying seeing Westerberg and Tommy Stinson on stage bashing out old favorites.Read the full story at the Brooklyn Bugle (and part 1 HERE).
Bob Stinson passed away in 1995.

Reunited Memphis band Grifters playing NYC shows after Gonerfest, subject of new documentary (video & dates)
Memphis indie legends The Grifters just announced and played their first shows in 17 years. Coming off the heels of a last minute hometown reunion show in November 2013, they'll be playing NYC shows at Glasslands on November 7 and Mercury Lounge on November 8. Tickets for the Glasslands show are on sale now. Tickets for the Mercury Lounge show will go on AmEx presale Wednesday (8/20) and on sale to the general public Friday (8/22).
The NYC shows will mark the 20th anniversary of their album Crappin You Negative, and are in addition to playing Gonerfest in Memphis on September 25. No other dates have been announced, but hopefully this means they'll be playing more shows in the coming months.
What caused the band to reunite now? It was a documentary actually...
Directors Robert Allen Parker and Nan Hackman's biggest coup may have been convincing local indie-rock godfathers the Grifters to reunite after more than a decade of inactivity. The band was both one of Memphis' biggest local draws and most successful exports of the 1990s, releasing several LPs, EPs, and singles (the 1994 full-length Crappin' You Negative received rave reviews from publications like Rolling Stone and Spin) and touring extensively until around 2000, when exhaustion and the emergence of new projects and opportunities led the Grifters to slow things down and ultimately disband. [Memphis Flyer]Check out the trailer of the documentary, produced for the Memphis Film Festival, which features some cool live footage, below.

Culture Club's original lineup reformed, making a new album, touring, playing Beacon Theatre (dates)
photo by Dean Stockings
Eighties icons Culture Club are back, having announced earlier this that the original lineup of the band -- Mikey Craig (bass guitar), Roy Hay (guitar and keyboards), Jon Moss (drums and percussion) and front-man Boy George -- would not only be touring but also recording a new album with producer Youth due in 2015. The band, who had a string of hits on both sides of the Atlantic during the Reagan Years, broke up in 1986.
Culture Club will be hitting select North American dates this fall, including NYC's Beacon Theatre on November 25. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (8/15) at 10 AM with Chase cardmember and local presales starting Wednesday (8/13) at 10 AM. The tour also hits Etess Arena in Atlantic City. All other dates (listed below) go on sale Friday too.
We may get more details on all this when Boy George appears on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Thursday (8/14). All dates are listed, along with a few classic videos, below...

Samhain reuniting (?) for Riot Fest, Danzig & Jerry Only in court over Hot Topic, Misfits announce Halloween show
Danzig at Riot Fest in 2013 (more by Kirstie Shanley)
Nestled within the Riot Fest Chicago 2014 lineup sat this intriguing name: Samhain. The Samhain? The band Glenn Danzig fronted between two legacy-ensuring runs in the Misfits and his "Mother"-effin' 'solo' stardom? That Samhain?
Danzig's official website has since confirmed: "We can confirm that DANZIG has accepted an invitation to perform as his Classic SAMHAIN at Riot Fest in Chicago this September. More as we get it...Stay Tuned!!!" Riot Fest has since announced that Samhain will play Initium in full.
We actually shouldn't be too surprised. Danzg has been touring with Doyle-infused Misfits sets as part of his show for a while now, and in 2011 he did a "Danzig Legacy" tour, with shows that included (drama and) seven Samhain songs and members as part of the setlist. That tour hit Riot Fest in Chicago, a fest Danzig then played for a second time last year (and which he will play for a third time this year). Three members of Samhain played in the band (Glenn Danzig, London May and Steve Zing).
What we still don't know is who will actually be playing in this version of the reunited "Samhain". Danzig hasn't said yet. Drummer/bassist Steve Zing is a very safe bet since he was in Samhain, played the 'Legacy' shows and plays in Danzig's current lineup. Drummer/bassist London May, already back in the fold recently, also seems very possible. The bigger question is whether we'll get original member (and Danzig original member, but current country singer) drummer/bassist Eerie Von back in the fold. In our professional opinion that is who Danzig needs most to validate this thing, and actually things are looking good, though it might require Glenn also wrangling in guitarist Pete "Damien" Marshall. In 2012, Blankman ran this interview:
BMi: Why weren't you part of the Samhain reunionSlim to none is right, and even more right now that Danzig and Jerry Only are embroiled in yet another lawsuit concerning a legal spat with Misfits bassist Jerry Only over Hot Topic merchandising royalties, citing the devilocked dude for breach of a '94 agreement to share trademarks.
EV: "What reunion? Glenn and 2 drummers? I said if the Guitar player Damian wasn't involved I wasn't interested."
BMi: What do you think about Jerry Only's continued version of the Misfits?
EV: "That's Jerry's thing. He's keeping the name alive, and playing the songs for the kids who never saw the old band. I only saw them when they first got back together, and had Graves as a singer. I thought they were pretty good. I haven't seen Jerry and the others guys since.
BMi: Knowing all the guys in the band personally, what do you think the chances are of a full-fledged Misfits reunion?
EV: "Slim to None, but you never can tell. It's been discussed over the years."
After registering the trademarks, Danzig alleges Jerry then secretly entered into deals with various merchandisers, including Hot Topic, and cut Danzig out of any potential profits in the process. Danzig claims Jerry even threatened to withhold licensing rights from merchandisers if they did business with Danzig at all.Misfits say it's "sour grapes". Read the entire statement they gave to Alternative Press in response to the lawsuit, below, and good luck Glenn.
Danzig -- who left The Misfits in 1983 -- is suing for breach of contract and more. He insists he's solely responsible for the Misfits fame as a founding member of the group, and deserves his fair share of merchandising profits. [re-tox]
Meanwhile, Jerry Only's version of the Misfits just announced that their NYC Halloween show will happen this year on October 28 at Irving Plaza. Tickets are on Live Nation/Music Geeks presale and go on regular sale Friday (5/16) at 10 AM.
All of Danzig's & Misfits' 2014 tour dates, along with some Samhain samples -- that you should listen to with unbiased ears -- below.

by Klaus Kinski
On October 15th 2009 your man Klaus had what can only be described as a "living daylights wet dream nerdgasm." For on that evening of evenings John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, and even the late Graham Chapman reunited at the Ziegfeld Theater in NYC to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the creation of comedy troupe Monty Python. The reunion event included a screening of the theatrical version of the IFC original documentary Monty Python: Almost the Truth, a presentation of a BAFTA award, and a Q&A with the cast (including Carol Cleveland). What brought the evening to a completely dangerous and unheard of tier of nergasmness was the fact that Klaus-Mega-Idol Steve Coogan decided to sit next to me (like, elbow-to-elbow next to me) and the fact that every single Python was sitting directly in front of me. For the first time in my life, I almost fainted because of the presence of celebrities. It was one of the greatest evenings of my wasted life.
No comedy troupe has divided the populace into a "love column" and a "hate column" more than Monty Python. People either categorically love them or categorically hate them; I have yet to hear or see the words, "Monty Python? Yeah, they're ok." So as a person in the "love column" it is with stupefied joy that I tell you that Monty Python will be reuniting for a live stage show which will take place at the O2 Arena in London in July of 2014. The show has a working title of "One Down, Five to Go" which is no doubt a reference to deceased 6th Python Graham Chapman. This show will mark the first time the group has performed together on a British stage in over 40 years. Much like their TV show, movies, and other stage performances, this performance will feature new bits, classic bits, music, as well as their signature animations. At the moment it is being billed as a one-off performance, but the idea of a tour is not too far fetched. It will be filmed, so if the idea of future performances gets shit-canned at least people will still get to see it.
I realize this has nothing to do with New York. Or even the United States of American. But here's hoping for a successful London show and an eventual residency in New York!

Big Boi of Outkast in Austin in 2012 (more by Tim Griffin)
We already knew that Arcade Fire are playing Coachella 2014, and more clues about the lineup are trickling in, including the very exciting announcement there will be an Outkast reunion! Billboard reports that they've heard from multiple sources that the duo of Andre 3000 and Big Boi will indeed rejoin forces at the upcoming festival and then play additional festival dates in 2014. We heard the same. Stay tuned.
Revisit their video for "ATLiens" below...

Everyone knows that musicians can supercharge their own reputations by dying young, before they have the chance to grow old/irrelevant/lame. The same can be said of bands as institutions; people remember you more fondly if your track record is short but consistent than if it's long but spotty. (See: Nirvana versus Metallica.)
The '90s-era LA alternative rock band Failure is a good example. Like their peers in Illinois's Hum, Failure made a name for themselves by tricking out the era's rough-but-digestible radio rock with ear-candy production work...and by releasing just a few (very good) albums before breaking up (1997, in Failure's case).
Though Failure members Ken Andrews and Greg Edwards collaborated on an odds-and-ends album called Golden in 2004, the band has been more or less silent since their official dissolution. But after 17 years of silence, they've announced their (inevitable, judging by other '90s bands) reunion. Here's Ken Andrews's minimalist explanation for the reunion (via Spin):
You guys have been on my Dream Reunion list for years and years -- what finally convinced you to do this?Failure will play their first post-reunion show on February 13 of next year in their LA hometown at the El Ray Theater. Keep an eye out for further tour/release announcements; in the meantime, revisit Failure's career-ending classic Fantastic Planet in full below.
Well, I think it's basically because my friendship with Greg was rekindled in the last four or five years -- because we both have five-year-olds. I think that helped break the ice for us, to spend time together as friends, because the breakup in '97 was not pleasant. We needed a couple years to hang out and be friends again, and then it became this sort of elephant in the room, like, "Why don't we do some music together?"
So mostly we can thank your children.
I would say that definitely -- that helped, a lot. It helped both of us get our heads in a different place. And an awful lot of time passed, also, before we both had kids. There was a lot of time to forgive and forget.

Not long after The Locust's first U.S. show in 5 years was announced via the Austin Fun Fun Fun Fest lineup, LA's FYF Fest announced that the Locus would return for their U.S. fest even sooner, a late FYF Fest lineup addition. At the moment I think those are the only two dates for the spazzy masked band who reunited for a Yeah Yeah Yeahs curated ATP in the UK in May, but more can't be far behind.
Meanwhile The Locust's Justin Pearson has also been keeping busy with a new project called Retox who are playing The Fest and Fun Fun Fun Fest as well.
FYF Fest also just added a whole bunch of comedians to the lineup, which you can see in the updated poster above, and in list form below...

The shows mostly include East Coast appearances, including one in NYC on August 31 at Cake Shop. Poison Idea was originally supposed to perform at last year's Power of the Riff East, but cancelled due to health reasons.
For the curious, Poison Idea 2013 is:

Billy Gibbons's psychedelic project from before his ZZ Top days, The Moving Sidewalks, have reunited and will play two shows in celebration of a new discography due on Rockbeat Records. For the unaware, their history is as follows:
Gibbons founded the Texas psychedelic group in the mid-1960s and quickly drew a large following, especially in the Houston "teen scene". They recorded several singles and one full-length album, Flash. Their single "99th Floor" was a hit and topped the charts at No. 1 in Houston for six weeks. The success of this record led the Sidewalks to sign with Wand Records which then released "Need Me" which also became a Top 10 Hit. The group was asked to open for many rock tours, including Jimi Hendrix and The Doors.Those two select dates include the previously discussed Austin Psych Fest appearance and NYC on March 30 at BB Kings with The Headless Horsemen (tickets).
After Tom Moore and Don Summers were drafted into the United States Army, Gibbons and Mitchell added Lanier Greig and formed the original ZZ Top.-[Wiki]
A full stream of the band's lone LP, Flash, is below.

I have to admit I did wonder a bit if enough people actually knew who Blur and The Stone Roses were when I saw them placed very prominently on top of this year's Coachella lineup. Then we just came across this Tumblr which reinforces the idea that maybe the Stone Roses, like Arcade Fire (at the Grammys) and Bonny Bear before them, are not exactly part of the mainstream consciousness.
P.S., as the above-pictured tweet reinforces, The Rolling Stones did not end up being a part of this year's Coachella lineup, despite that weird date that showed up momentarily on their app.
Violent Femmes, Postal Service, Grinderman, New Order, Three O'Clock, and other reunited bands at Coachella 2013
Postal Service
We mentioned that Blur and The Stone Roses are reuniting for Coachella 2013, and as usual there some other interesting reunions at the festival too.
Violent Femmes, who called it quits in 2009, appeared on the lineup announcement. Unlike Blur or The Stone Roses, this is the first we're hearing about them getting back together, so hopefully we'll get some more shows from them. They last played NYC in 2007. Some classic Violent Femmes videos are below.
As promised, The Postal Service are in fact confirmed for Coachella. They recently confirmed their 2013 reunion, and are also part of the Primavera Sound lineup.
It wasn't even two full years ago that Nick Cave said he was done with his Grinderman project for a while, and we know that The Bad Seeds are back this year (and also playing Coachella), but he's got Grinderman on the lineup too. Grinderman plays day 1 and the Bad Seeds play day 3.
One of Ian Svenonius' many bands, The Make-Up, reunited last year and played ATP NYC, and they're also included on this year's Coachella lineup. Meanwhile, you can catch Ian in NYC on his book tour tonight (1/25) at LPR and Monday (1/28) at WORD Bookstore.
New Order (without Peter Hook) made their live return last year, and after releasing their "lost" album, Lost Sirens, this year, they were announced for Coachella as well. The way things have been going, we probably can't count on Hook being there, but like Ian Svenonius, you can catch him in NYC on Monday (1/28) for his book talk.
Fellow new wave icons Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (aka OMD) returned in 2010 and they're promising a new album out on April 9, just before Coachella begins. They've also talked about a North American tour, which presumably will be announced soon with dates surrounding the festival.
Descendents have been back for a little while at this point, but a reunion show from them is always exciting, and this year's Coachella should be no exception.
Dead Can Dance have been back for a bit too, having released a new album, Anastasis, and gone on a tour last year, and they'll be at Coachella this year as well. They're also playing Primavera Sound and just launched a video competition.
Two-Tone legends The Selector (they shared a side of the label's first-ever 7") will play as well. The band have reformed a few times over the years, with different members offer rival versions of the band. Singer Pauline Black and Gaps Hendrickson feature in the line-up coming to Coachella.
And maybe most surprsingly on this list of Coachella reunions is The Three O'Clock who were intregral in the '80s "paisley underground" scene in Los Angeles. Fronted by bassist Michael Querico, the band made 1985's cult classic Arrive Without Traveling, ended up signed to Prince's Paisley Park records where they made one album before breaking up in 1988.
LA hip hop collective Jurassic 5 are also reuniting for Coachella. More on that and other hip hop at this year's festival coming later.
Violent Femmes videos below...

The Breeders celebrating 20 years of 'Last Splash' with deluxe reissue and tour with that LP's line-up
by Bill Pearis
Ahhhooohooh! The Breeders' classic second album, Last Splash, will be 20 years old in 2013 and they are celebrating with a deluxe reissue and play-the-album tour. Not only will they play Last Splash front-to-back, but it'll be the line-up of The Breeders that made the album, too, which means original bassist Josephine Wiggs and drummer Jim MacPherson in addition to the Deal sisters who have kept the Breeders' flame alive with different rhythm sections.
No dates have been announced yet other than the All Tomorrow's Parties festival in Camber Sands, U.K. which happens June 21 - 23, 2013 which is curated by Deerhunter. They are promising dates in Europe and the U.S. so stay tuned.
As for the reissue, it's being dubbed LSXX and will be out in April. No tracklisting yet. A couple Last Splash videos are below.

Rocket From The Crypt have posted the above image on their official Facebook page, leading to specualtion that the John Reis project, which called it quits in 2005, will apparently rise from the grave for more shows or recorded output next year. Reis recently reunited with Hot Snakes to play shows, so a RFTC reunion can't come as much of a surprise, but it is still very, very welcome.
Check out some RFTC video below, including one of Speedo with Petey X playing the RFTC favorites "Young Livers" with The Aquabats at ComicCon in San Diego this year.
Neil Michael Hagerty performing Royal Trux's 'Twin Infinitives' at Saint Vitus; Black Bananas have a new video
Royal Trux's 'Twin Infinitives'
Do you ever hear your influence on new bands? Do you often hear something and say, "Oh!"That's Jennifer Herrema of '90s indie rockers Royal Trux, reminscing about her old band's 1998 album Accelerate that was just reissued by Drag City. The record got the "Best New Reissue" tag from Pitchfork and can be picked up in basically any non-cassette format of your choice.
Yeah, I have. And people from other bands have told me that. But I think it's more signifiers than people being able to get the sounds that we got. Because nobody has my voice, nobody can play the guitar like Neil, nobody can write songs like we can. But I think a lot of signifiers have been utilized in the spirit of Royal Trux, for sure. A lot of bands have been really vocal about us influencing them, and then there's been a lot of people who don't talk about it because...they don't like giving props, or whatever. (laughs)
Do you listen to a lot of new rock bands?
I've definitely heard some cool stuff. I like the new Blues Control album that came out. I think we played with them once. I don't remember what they were all about live, but I liked the record. We played a show with friends of ours, Wild Yaks. I like their show, but I never heard any of their recorded stuff.
As far as big, big records mostly rap. I'm just kind of stoked for the new Bones Thugs n' Harmony. - [L Mag]
Meanwhile, if this can be believed, Royal Trux will perform their 1992 album, Twin Infinitives, in full at Saint Vitus on December 8 with openers Pigeons. It's their only live date currently and, of course, the real question is, is this an actual Royal Trux reunion with Herrema and Neil Hagerty or just one of them. Hagerty has been making music under The Howling Hex moniker; Herrema carried on as RTX but now fronts Black Bananas. One thing we do know for sure: tickets are on sale.
UPDATE (10/13): Mystery solved. Saint Vitus' ticket page now reads "Neil Michael Hagerty performing Royal Trux - 'Twin Infinitives.'" This post's title has been changed to reflect this too.
In other news, Black Bananas have a new video for "It's Cool," the lead track from their album, Rad Times Xpress IV, which came out early this year. Watch it below.

In an interview with Herald Sun (via FACT), Morrissey claims that Coachella offered to go "100% vegetarian" if he would reunite with Johnny Marr and headline the festival as The Smiths:
At Coachella a few years you complained about the waft of burning flesh from a nearby barbeque. Has that been a problem since at outdoor shows?The Moz always has to get in a little barb at Smiths rhythm section Mike Joyce and Andy Rourke, doesn't he? For more on the Smiths, you can pick up the October issue of MOJO which details the band's formation. And of course Morrissey will be in NYC next week for three sold out shows on his upcoming tour.
Not at all, and interestingly the agents for Coachella offered a 100-per-cent vegetarian event for the following year if I would agree to headline with Johnny Marr as the Smiths. Fascinatingly they made it clear that they would 'not require' the Smiths' bass player or drummer ... which I thought certainly said something.

A $6 million Michigan Department of Transportation project that stands between Harvey and the City of Marquette is going strong, and according to officials was needed due to road deterioration.
Construction officials say please be mindful and give construction vehicles space to enter and exit their project area from Bayou Street to M-28. Crews are adding shoulders to the road, but three lanes are currently closed.
"We renovated concrete on both sections as a transition," said Foreman Chris Rigoni. "And then we had a sand overlay in the middle and there's a foot and a half of sand. Then we put down six inches of gravel, and six more inches of black top."
The project started in April and is expected to be completed in October.

(Part 1)
Jesus lived in intimate communion with His Father. The Scriptures refer to Jesus as "the express image" of God. As believers, we also have the amazing privilege of close, face-to-face communion with the living God. Such knowledge carries with it the expectation of access to His presence and power.
READ: Prov. 18:21; Matt. 6:33; Matt. 11:11; Mark 1:2-3; John 1:29-34; Heb. 1:3.
PRAYER FOCUS: Lord God, thank You for drawing me closer to You, so that my life is a reflection of You. Help me, through Your grace, mercy and love to be able to live "in Your face" every hour of every day. Amen.
(Part 2)
Jesus lived in the place of accountability to God. Christ walked in the favor of God and was obedient to Him in all things. Jesus, God's Son, refused to make a move unless the Father led Him. Let His life be your example of how to honor God, follow as He leads and depend on His strength every day.
READ: Matt. 5:3; Mark 2:17; John 16: 7; John 17:4; John 17: 22; John 17: 26.
HEART ISSUE: In your prayer time this week, vow to live close to God. Thank Jesus that He is your model of how to walk in intimate communion with the Father. Ask Jesus to help and empower you to do this daily.
PRAYER FOCUS: Thank You, Lord, that I am developing an intimate relationship with You. Thank You that Your presence and power will be with me wherever I go and in whatever I do. Draw me closer than ever before. In Jesus' name, Amen.
For a limited time, we are extending our celebration of the 40th anniversary of Charisma. As a special offer, you can get 40 issues of Charisma magazine for only $40!

Floating by kayaksailorWatch
©2011-2016 kayaksailor
An incredibly beautiful day at Lake Tahoe...the temperature was so nice I was wearing just a t-shirt
Ahhh.... I love this shot.
you're featured in my 3d of April journal
really beautiful Ruth
Are those ice chunks floating? or bouys? great capture Ruth!
No ice in this part of the lake...those are bouys. Even though there was over ten feet of new snow up here last week most of it was gone at lake level. And the temps today were down right balmy!!!
yes, this time of year is so weird ...the rain we drove in before we got home today had some chunky drops ...but, the temps were in the 40's... but, dang it! ...I was sure enjoying being a bit warmer down south
Yes! We had more extreme weather this month than pretty much the rest of the winter. We are well over normal for rain and snow - no drought this year, lol. First time in about a decade that all the big lakes are full...and there are several rivers that are in flood watch! As much as I'm enjoying the last few warm days it is melting things too fast...
well, fortunately for us... even though we had freezing temps while we were gone, from what I could see of our daffodils and such (thru the rain ) ...it appears that they may have actually survived ...and just have gotten "slowed down" a bit by the colder temps I'll have to go out to tomorrow and see if they are okay...
so of our early daffys got a bit bedraggled but the rest are now making up for it The poppies and lupin were 'slowed down' too and are just now beginning to show - I hope we get a few more light rain showers to help extend our blooming season...though my husband is so sick with airborne allergies I know he wants it all over!!
amazing picture! thats beautiful!

Violence has returned to Northern Ireland. After hundreds of years of two religions hating and killing one another, I was shocked, shocked I tell you, that some of them still hate the other religion. Though I was not yet International Director of Micah Challenge, a global organisation that prays and campaigns for poor people, I appeared before the multitudes of Northern Ireland during the troubles. Even then, remarkably, I was able to find people of one religion that didn't hate the other, which is important to me as a Human Rights Commissioner, defending the rights of all, black or white, Christian or some other religion, straight or straight. I think peace is a good thing and Saint Paul agrees with me, so I must be right. That's why I became a council member of Rt. Rev. St. Tony of Bliars' Faith Foundation, with its modest aims of eliminating poverty, ending war, and bringing all religions together in peace and harmony under St. Tony's benevolent leadership. As the chair of the Churches Media Council, I think we can all agree that the peace enjoyed by Northern Ireland today is entirely the result of religion. Clearly, more religion will make the province even more peaceful. After all, Christianity has always been so good at bringing people together. So let's all look forward to the day when Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness get on a plane together and fly away.

Here's something I'll bet you never thought of before: history gets written by the winners. No, honestly, it's true! The people that win always make it sound as if they were the best. How many books have you read by poor, dead, people? Proves my point, doesn't it?
Judaism, Christianity and Islam have a particular interest in history. Just like Karl Marx, we know that history's going somewhere. We know this 'cos we've got a written history that tells us so. We know there's definitely going to be a future. We just disagree about what will happen in it. Somewhere in that future, the future will stop and there won't be any more future. I AM THE A TO Z, says the Invisible Magic Friend in a psychedelic dream someone once had and that's now written down as a totally reliable part of our history. So now you know you just can't trust history (by which I mean ordinary history, not things like the gospels, you can trust them, and the koran 'cos that's religious too, although not as much as the gospels).
I bet you're wondering, what's the past all about then? What's it all mean? When the A to Z returns, all will be explained, he'll show us the way. You'll get to hear about the world from the point of view of the poor, the meek, the humble, the mind blowingly Reverend Lord Professor Bishop. Billions and billions of people telling you their life story, that's something to look forward to, isn't it?
In the meantime, I'm so glad that historians have finally started to write about black people and women. I had no idea there were black people and women in history.

Sir Fred Goodwin has been called a scumbag millionaire. But this is to vilify one man, a single colossal banker. After all, which of us hasn't created a vast conglomerate with ridiculously exaggerated asset prices and sacked countless thousands of workers in the process? If Sir Fred wore sackcloth and ashes and gave all his wealth away to the poor, this would not bring about his redemption - he'd still be a scumbag.
Even I, as Professor of Islamic Studies and Public Understanding and Director of the Centre for the Study of Islam, University of Glasgow, can't get my head around the current financial crisis, but let me quote from Voltaire as a token secular thinker, "Where money is concerned, we're all the same religion." Voltaire was, of course, wrong. Religion has a thing called "justice". The idea behind "justice" is that rich people should give huge lumps of money to poor people. Islam, which is one of these great religions, doesn't have any silly notions about rich men having to go through the eye of a needle. Islam welcomes the tremendously wealthy, the hugely rich, the extremely capital endowed, just so long as they got to be extremely wealthy by giving all their money away. Indeed, it is said that wealthy Meccans resisted the call of the prophet because, not previously having heard of religion, they didn't realise they were supposed to give all their money away.
So in summary, I don't understand the financial crisis, but thanks to religion, and Islam in particular, I think that whatever they did wrong last time they should do differently, and more justly, from now on.

Once on a 38 bus, a drunken Scotsman shouted, "Who gave you penicillin, the tv and the phone. A Scotsman." Then a cockney asked "Who gave you you're whisky?" Then on totally different 38 bus, another drunken Scotsman asked, "Who gave you penicillin, pneumatic tyres and the tv. A Scotsman." By co-incidence, another cockney asked, "Who gave you you're whisky." Oh, how I laughed.
Scotland wants to restrict alcohol sales. Some in the drinks industry, in their completely objective and unbiased way, have said this is a bad thing. Civil libertarians are up in arms about their right to get drunk on the very cheapest possible booze. Surely if you educate people that getting paralytic every night has a down side people will stop doing it? But education is not enough. Alcohol abuse is a complex mix of sociological, biochemical and neurophysiological interactions, so naturally we seek out the opinion of some theologians. As St. Paul said, you only know you're a sinner because the law says you are. Or as Reinhold Niebuhr said, "Justice would be nice." Both of which, I think, nicely illustrate the point that spending the family income getting pissed is probably a bad thing.

I'm fed up giving trite little homilies based on the bible that make me look like some sort of thicko. I'm a Reverend Doctor and every bit as classically educated as certain other TFTD presenters that shall remain nameless. So today I'm going to give you a short lecture on Aristotelian Ethics and its relationship to the Leonard Bernstein musical West Side Story, just the way she might. Aristotle, a classical Greek philosopher that I know all about, cos' I'm a Reverend Doctor, believed that virtuous behaviour developed through habit. You acted at being virtuous and eventually became virtuous. Many Christians opposed this, but then Christians opposed most things. Then Erasmus, a renaissance thinker that I know all about cos' I'm a Reverend Doctor, came along and said Aristotle was OK provided you acted out Jesus's morals. Then the Jesuits appeared and said you could even just act out any old saints' morals. Finally Leonard Bernstein appeared and wrote West Side Story, a modern day version of Romeo and Juliet that I saw in Wandsworth Prison last night and that carefully avoided the need for prisoners to prance around in tights and codpieces. In a sparkling performance, reminiscent of some of the great productions of the past, and all the more compelling given some of the lead actors' past roles in murderous gang warfare, we were treated to a powerful morality tale about what happens when you don't act as if you were moral. Which I think is what prison is all about, don't you?

Last week I told you how I met a poor person. This week I met a woman. She was struggling with two large heavy suitcases. What should I do? I was on the way to an important meeting as International Director of Micah Challenge, an organisation that travels the world praying and campaigning for poor people, or was it as the chair of the Churches Media Council, or possibly as a council member of Rt. Rev. St. Tony Bliars' Faith Foundation, with its modest aims of eliminating poverty, ending war, and bringing all religions together in peace and harmony under St. Tony's benevolent leadership, while St. Tony himself appeared in human form to the people of Gaza? I know, I thought, this is a job for Human Rights Commissioner!. Defending the rights of all, man or woman, black or white, Christian or some other religion, straight or straight, I quickly and discretely changed into my human rights commissioner outfit. "Please," I said to the struggling woman, "allow me to take your bags from you." "Not bloody likely," she replied in most unladylike fashion. Thus cruelly rejected, I resolved never to help a woman ever again.
But women still need my help. Despite years of hard work at the Human Rights Commission, women still get paid less than men. Should women get paid the same as men? It's a difficult theological question, but I think you'll find the church has been at the forefront of women's rights right from the start. What does my Invisible Magic Friend have to say on the subject? The bible tells the story of Eve being created as a companion for Adam. "These beasts of the field are all very nice," said Adam, but I need someone who can do the washing up and bring me my slippers. So the IMF made Eve out of one of Adam's ribs. Some stupid, ignorant, people read this as an excuse for the superiority of man over woman, pointing out that it was Eve who tempted Adam and brought about the fall, but I'm not one of these stupid, ignorant, people who reads too much into the book of Genesis. What the book of Genesis really proves is that both man and woman were made in the IMF's image. Which means the IMF has both man boobs and lady bumps.

Lots of young girls are going around having sex and generally having a good time. This has to stop. The pope says you're only allowed to have sex in order to have babies and he's infallible so I believe him. Sex is a dirty thing that you should be ashamed of. Where's the guilt? Where's the social ostracising that goes with people having unlicensed sex? It's all part of politicians' plans to create more abortions. The solution to this isn't more so-called "sex education". It's certainly not more use of "contraceptives", which are just as evil and dirty as sex itself.
It's all the fault of feminism: teaching women that they had rights and could make their own choices about sex - what on Earth were you thinking? It's all me, me, me nowadays. People seem to think they have some sort of right to go around enjoying themselves. Utter selfishness. Jesus might have said to love others, but not by having sex with them. He meant to love them by not going anywhere near them, in the same way you don't go anywhere near your own dirty, filthy, disgusting bits, except when you absolutely have to. What's wrong with good old fashioned sexual ignorance and frustration? That's the Catholic way after all.

As a Rev. Dr. Dr., and Principal of St John's College Durham, I meet a lot of young people. I'm a big fan of young people and think we should continue to have them. If you, as a young person, were to come to St John's College Durham, you would find us celebrating our centenary. St John's College Durham isn't one of those fly-by-night university colleges that's here one day and gone tomorrow. Some of the alumni of St John's College Durham have gone on to be very important people indeed, such as bishops. Sadly, some of the people who have attended St John's College Durham have died, but not all of them, so please keep coming. Many of our students at St John's College Durham believe in Jesus. This makes them good, charitable people, who do things for others and help out in Jesus' Churches. I'm very grateful that young people exist and that they come to St John's College Durham, with it's excellent accommodation and high academic standards, conveniently located off the A690 within easy walking distance of both the Cathedral and the Castle.

When denial is used against those who question the evidence of conventional wisdom it acts as a secular Inquisition creating a free-floating metaphor for post-modern blasphemy. "This targeting of denial has little to do with the specifics of the highly charged emotional issues involved in discussions of the Holocaust or AIDS or pollution," writes sociologist Frank Furedi in Spiked Online. "Rather it is driven by a wider mood of intolerance towards free thinking." It becomes an informal but dangerous form of collective censorship, limiting free speech and demanding social or civil punishment, or both. (Free speech defenders have no problem defending their own dearly held beliefs, but often when called on to defend something they consider dangerous find all manner of exceptions.)
For all of the creepiness of "Holocaust denial," making it against the law not only restricts free speech, perniciously wrong-headed as that is, but forces those who perpetuate it to go underground. When President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran held his Holocaust denial conference in Tehran, he exposed his irrational hatred to the rest of the world, making his threat to "wipe Israel off the map" and his determination to develop nuclear weapons suddenly visible as a genuine threat to everyone.
His hyperventilated rhetoric, as outrageous as it is, requires counter arguments of reason and cannot be dismissed as the ravings of a madman, a mistake many critics of Hitler made. The Tehran conference drew wide rebuke, inspiring hundreds of articles refuting speaker after speaker. Such refutations won't dissuade the anti-Semites who ply their trade in the Middle East, but will establish a contemporary historical record and heighten the alert for those in the Western democracies who understand that words can be deadly weapons of mass destruction.
No word has been so trivialized as "Holocaust." It's attached to issues that bear no relation to the crimes of the Nazis of the Third Reich. The triumph of bad taste and perversion of moral meaning is exhibited by animal rights protesters who compare the slaughter of animals to the slaughter of Jews. In one of their campaigns, called "Holocaust on Your Plate," images of animals locked in pens are superimposed on photographs of emaciated prisoners behind the barbed wire of a concentration camp.
The human talent for devising destruction is boundless, and humans of goodwill must demand the careful use of words to make reasonable distinctions.
If we don't, we are truly in denial.

Article 9, Asset Securitization, and the Great Depression
I've been reading Amity Shlaes's wonderful book The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression, which provides some great story-telling and a richly deserved economic send-up of the New Deal. She illustrates the illogic of many New Deal policies — such as the NRA's attempt to deal with the monetary problem of deflation through price controls — as well as the sheer contradictory ad hocery Roosevelt's "bold, ceaseless, experimentation." Her main thesis seems to be that the New Deal never actually had an economic — as opposed to an electoral and political — logic. To the extent that it was Keynsian it was Keynsian mainly by accident.
Along the way, she rehabilitates some of the class villains of the 1930s and their pre-Crash shenanigans, among them the use of holding companies by utilities. In the traditional story, the captains of industry in the 1920s used holding companies to manipulate stock prices to reap huge profits at the expense of naive investors who found themselves bilked when the market crashed in 1929.
Shlaes has a different story.

No matter how much cash there is in the bank or how large its stock is, a firm's most valuable asset is its employees. Taking care of your staff can make the difference between an ordinary business and a truly successful one.
When problems occur in the workplace, there are several measures that employers can use to resolve issues, and some rules with which they must comply.
Every business needs to be aware of the legal obligations that come with taking on staff. This section offers an outline guide to the more important regulations.
Effective, intelligent employee management can have a very real effect on the productivity, the profitability and the reputation of a business.
Staff absences can be disruptive and costly, which is why many employers have policies and systems in place to minimise the impact of sick leave.
Many smaller businesses choose to employ staff on a part-time basis. This often has the advantage of controlling costs when there is no need for a full-time worker and of adding flexibility to the running of the business.
The law on workplace pensions has changed to make it easier for people to save money for their retirement. Automatic enrolment means every employer must automatically enrol eligible staff into a qualifying pension scheme.
How to go about finding employees with the right skills and the right level of experience, and how to attract them to your business.
This section offers some guides on the best way to handle redundancies and the departures of members of staff.
As well as improving productivity, rewarding your employees with extra incentives can have a transforming effect on staff morale and the overall performance of your business.
With the world of business growing ever more competitive, raising skill levels among your workforce is not merely important but could be essential. Indeed, good, well thought-out training programmes and schemes can help to lay the foundations for the future of your business.
Employers have a responsibility to make sure that workplaces are safe and that care is taken over the health of their employees while at work. This section provides an outline of those duties.

Annual Salary Survey
After almost a decade of uncertainty, the confidence of plant floor managers is soaring. Even with a number of challenges and while implementing new technologies, there is a renewed sense of optimism among plant managers about their business and their future.
The respondents to the 2014 Plant Engineering Salary Survey come from throughout the U.S. and serve a variety of industries, but they are uniform in their optimism about manufacturing. This year's survey found 79% consider manufacturing a secure career. That's up from 75% in 2013 and significantly higher than the 63% figure when Plant Engineering first started asking that question a decade ago.

How fun (and crazy) to prepare for a wedding. These nuts are…well, nuts! Addictive.
It's time for another feature of What's baking Mom & Dad, where my parents share their own recipes and pictures!
And they have brought over the perfect treat for this Holiday season 😀
So, sit back, relax and enjoy my parent's recipe…
Hi again everyone!
It has been more than a month since we did our last post but we have been very busy preparing for Abeer's brother's wedding.
And sadly, that doesn't leave too much time for baking and photographing.
But we did take some time out to make these candied nuts.
We make these every year during the holiday season and it gets us all in the holiday spirit
Nothing can be as wonderful as the sweet and spicy aroma of these nuts filling the house.
It's intoxicating!
Since Abeer likes to do themed posts and Christmas is coming up, we thought we would share our family recipe for candied nuts.
We have even given these as gifts to our family, friends and neighbors and they all love them.
Step 2:
Spread the nuts on a cookie tray lined with parchment paper or wax paper.
Step 3:
Bake at 350 degrees for about 7 minutes.
Step 4:
Then, take out the tray from the oven and use a spoon to mix the the nuts around.
There will be lots of bubbles around your nuts and the color will be much darker…That's perfectly fine.
Step 5:
Place your tray back in the oven and bake for about 8 more minutes.
Watch your nuts closely to make sure they don't get burnt.
Step 6:
Finally, take the tray out of the oven.
Give everything a quick mix and then dump the nuts onto a new cookie tray lined with parchment paper.
Make sure to separate all the nuts with a toothpick or a spoon so that they don't all clump together.
Let the nuts cool down and come down to room temperature.
And you are done!
Store them in an airtight jar at room temperature.
Well, that's all for today.
If you liked this post, you may also like some of these other recipes…

How fun (and crazy) to prepare for a wedding. These nuts are…well, nuts! Addictive.
Oh, I know these are delicious because I can't resist buying a bag everytime I'm at Navy Pier!
I love candied nuts! Sweet and savory…they are dangerous because I could eat all of them in one sitting!

Crawling?standing?walking? Or none:)
mine turned 8 months on the 27. She just scoots, can stand alone for 10 seconds at the most. Sooo close to crawling.
FTM to baby girl 3/27/12.
Mine is 9 months on Friday. She Army crawls when she wants to get places fast and will sometimes do a couple strides of "standard" crawling. She pulls up on the furniture and uses her legs to get up more than her arms. She can even stand herself up against the sliding glass door. She doesn't stand without support yet. But she does kneel down slowly with control from a standing position so she can get something that she's dropped on the floor.
I had a dream a couple nights ago that she just randomly stood up and toddled laps around the living room. Scary.

my march 30th guy is crawling and pulling himself up to standing. He just started sitting from crawling yesterday! :o)

My March 30 guy is crawling all over the place. He pulls up and climbs up on things too. I think he will be trying to stand upsupported soon. He's always been in a hurry to do things. (After he was born, that is. He was 10 days late and labor was 25 hours long!)

Willie Geist On 'Today': In His New Book, Sarah Palin Gives Inaugural Address At A Professional Wrestling Match (VIDEO)
Willie Geist, host of NBC's "Way Too Early" and author of "American Freak Show," said on 'Today' that there's a "really fine line between infamy and fame."
Case in point: Geist highlighted Rod Blagojevich, former Governor of Illinois, who he thought "was relishing his celebrity" and now made the jump from politics to starring in his own reality show.
Geist's new book, "American Freak Show," tackles issues of fame, celebrity and American culture, as the author uses real public figures and then "just makes stuff up about them," as "Today" host Matt Lauer commented.
Which figures does Geist satirize? Sarah Palin, for one, who gives her inaugural presidential address at a professional wrestling match, and Lindsay Lohan is another, who forms a relationship from jail with another inmate using Twitter alone.
