BIG FISH is a new Broadway musical featuring music and lyrics by Tony nominee Andrew Lippa (The Addams Family, The Wild Party) and a new book by esteemed screenwriter John August (Big Fish, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory).
Based on the celebrated novel by Daniel Wallace and the acclaimed film directed by Tim Burton, BIG FISH centers on Edward Bloom, a traveling salesman who lives life to its fullest… and then some! Edward's incredible, larger-than-life stories thrill everyone around him – most of all, his devoted wife Sandra. But their son Will, about to have a child of his own, is determined to find the truth behind his father's epic tales.
Overflowing with heart, humor and spectacular stagecraft, BIG FISH is an extraordinary new Broadway musical that reminds us why we love going to the theatre – for an experience that's richer, funnier and BIGGER than life itself.
From Playbill.com:
"A rollicking fantasy set in the American South, Big Fish centers on the charismatic Edward Bloom, whose impossible stories of his epic adventures frustrate his son Will. As Edward's final chapter approaches, Will embarks on his own journey to find out who his father really is, revealing the man behind the myth, the truth from the tall tales."

Act 1
The curtain rises on present-day EDWARD BLOOM (50s) at the banks of a river, skipping rocks. His son WILL (20s) is getting married the next day. Will asks Edward not to tell any of his crazy stories at the wedding. Edward reluctantly agrees. As Will thinks back, he trades places with YOUNG WILL (8). Edward doesn't want to read his son a bedtime story from a book, but rather tell a story about life ("Be the Hero"), which introduces many characters from Edward's impossible stories. Edward's wife SANDRA reminds them that it's time for bed, but Young Will wants to know more about THE WITCH who showed Edward how he would die ("The Witch").
The story returns to present day. Preparing for the wedding, Edward reveals his suspicion that Will's fiancée, JOSEPHINE, is pregnant. Will confirms the hunch and swears Edward to secrecy. But Edward can't help himself, revealing the news in a toast to the crowd.
In parallel scenes at doctors' offices, Will and Josephine learn they're going to have a son, while Edward and Sandra learn that Edward's cancer has progressed. In New York's Central Park, Will sings of the wonder and mystery of his future child ("Stranger"), but his joy is interrupted by a phone call from his mother, telling him about Edward's condition. Will says he's coming home. In the backyard, Sandra tells Will that although he and Edward can be a handful, she loves them both ("Two Men"). Josephine is eager to hear more of Edward's stories, so he launches into a tale of his high school days ("Ashton's Favorite Son"), including his small-town girlfriend (JENNY HILL) and his arch-rival (DON PRICE). Edward journeys to a cave to confront a giant that is frightening the town. But rather than fight KARL THE GIANT, he befriends him and convinces him to join him on an adventure to see the world. ("Out There on the Road"). Back in the present, Josephine gets Will to tell her the story of how his parents met, which brings them to the Calloway Circus. Sandra and two friends audition for ringmaster AMOS CALLOWAY ("Little Lamb from Alabama"), during which Edward falls in love with her at first sight ("Time Stops"). Amos hires Karl The Giant, while Edward agrees to work for the circus for free in exchange for one monthly clue about Sandra ("Closer to Her"). After three years of toil, Amos (secretly a werewolf) finally reveals that her name is Sandra, she goes to Auburn University, and she loves daffodils.
In the present, Josephine discovers a mortgage signed by Edward and Jenny Hill. Will wonders why his father would buy a house with a woman other than his mother. Edward travels to Auburn, only to discover that Sandra is engaged to be married to Don Price from Ashton. Don beats up Edward, but that convinces Sandra to break up with Don. Edward promises to love Sandra forever ("Daffodils"). They kiss.
Act 2
Reeling from the discovery of the mortgage, Will wonders if his dad had a second life. A second family.
At a campfire, Edward tells Young Will and other scouts about his adventures during The War ("Red, White, and True"), in which he defeats the poison assassin Red Fang. Young Will confronts his father on the impossible historical details.
Later, Edward tells Sandra and Young Will he'll be traveling more for work. Edward tells Young Will he'll be the man of the house. He needs to be brave and "Fight the Dragons." In the present, Will attempts to ask his father about the mortgage, but Edward keeps derailing the conversation with jokes and talk of wooly mammoths. When Will brings up Ashton, Edward grows angry and throws him out. Calmed down by Sandra, Edward falls into an uneasy sleep and dreams of a Western-style duel over the issue ("Showdown"). He wakes up yelling and confused in the middle of a thunderstorm. Sandra comforts him, telling him "I Don't Need a Roof" to feel at home. She only needs Edward. Will travels to Ashton, where he meets Jenny Hill. She tells him the story of what happened when Edward returned to Ashton. The valley is about to be flooded by a new reservoir, yet the townsfolk refuse to leave, chaining themselves to a statue in protest. Edward convinces them to build a new Ashton ("Start Over"). He gets land from Amos and money from Karl, both of whom have become successful because of Edward. Only Jenny Hill refuses to leave. She'd been waiting in Ashton all these years for Edward to return. To save her life, Edward reconnects with her, and co-signs the mortgage on a new house. They kiss -- but Edward breaks it off. From the moment he saw her until the moment he dies, Sandra is the only woman he'll love.
As Jenny Hill finishes the story, Will gets a phone call. Edward's condition has worsened. Alone in the hospital with the unconscious Edward, Will tells him that he went to Ashton, and that he now understands the reason for his stories. Edward stirs, in pain, and asks Will to tell him how he dies. Will has to make up the story on the spot ("What's Next") of how Edward escapes the hospital and travels to the river, where everyone from his stories is waiting for him.
At the river, Edward sings about his life and what it meant ("How it Ends"). Back in reality, Edward dies in the hospital bed. The funeral takes place at the river's edge. As the guests shake Will's hand, he sees that each is the real-world equivalent of the characters from Edward's stories. A few years later, Will teaches his own son to fish, and the secret his father taught him ("Be the Hero" reprise).
Author notes from John August
February 2014
BIG FISH centers on two men — Edward and Will Bloom — and two thematic questions:
1. Mortality, or How Does a Hero Live On?
2. Fatherhood, or What Makes a Good Dad?
Every scene involves one or both characters, and one or both questions. The arc of the play is these
two men and these two questions coming together. Whether you're reading the play or performing
it, I'd recommend you walk through the play scene-by-scene and song-by-song to discuss how each
moment addresses one or both themes.
Why is Edward telling stories about his past? On the surface, it's to escape the present. On a deeper
level, it's to connect to the heroic vision he has of his life as he confronts his death. (Mortality)
Why is Will trying to get details about Edward? On the surface, it's so he can understand his father.
On a deeper level, it's to answer the question of what makes a good dad as he takes that role himself.
Edward Bloom is a man who claims to be unafraid of death because of what the Witch showed him.
The truth is, he is afraid, as any rational person would be. Edward is afraid he's going to disappear.
As a storyteller, he's cast himself at the center of an epic tale that exists only as spoken words. If he
dies, who is going to keep his stories – his life's work, his essence – alive? The natural choice would
be his son, but his relationship with Will becomes more and more fractured as the play unfolds.
Will Bloom is not just a witness to Edward's tales; he is ultimately the point of them. But having
heard these stories a thousand times, Will sees them as an act — a disguise behind which his "real"
father is hiding. With a baby of his own on the way, Will is desperately trying to figure out who his
father is. Will is never trying to prove his father wrong. He is never looking for the truth; he is
looking for a man.
Edward can come off like a blow-hard. Remember his fear.
Will can seem too critical. Remember his hope.
You won't really understand BIG FISH until you look at the story from the female point of view. What
do Sandra and Josephine want? Why does the Witch insist on showing Edward his future? How
does Jenny Hill change the story for Edward and Will? Never forget that each of these characters
has her own life and objectives.
Finally, don't think of Edward's tales as flashbacks. These are stories being told in the here-and-now
for the benefit of Will or Young Will. If you get too caught up in the back-and-forth of time, you'll
confuse yourself and the audience. Always let it be simple.
BIG FISH is set in Alabama. More importantly, it's not set in New Orleans, or Mississippi, or the
backwoods of Kentucky. Accents in BIG FISH need to be simple and specific and musical. Clarity is
always the key. Words don't count if the audience can't understand them.
We pronounce final Rs. Edward fights a war, not a wah. Edward's wife is Sandra, not Saundra. His
high-school girlfriend is Jenny, not Ginny. (An exception to the usual shift of short e to short i.)
Edward pronounces route as rowt, not rute.
Living in New York, Will Bloom has deliberately minimized his accent. As the play progresses, it's
fine if it sneaks back in as Will spends more time at home.
BIG FISH can be performed with elaborate sets and magical staging to emphasize Edward's largerthan-
life stories, or on a dark stage with several chairs to focus on Will's journey. Regardless of scale,
every production needs to strive for emotional honesty, insight and beauty.
The role of Edward Bloom is played by one actor, spanning ages from 15 to 65. The role of Will is
played by two actors, a boy (Young Will) and a grown man (Will). Because so much of the story is
from Will's perspective, it's crucial that the audience always connect that the two Wills are the same
character. Look for ways to physicalize the narrative hand-off between them.
BIG FISH is not a time capsule. The past in Edward's stories is deliberately impossible ("When did
that all happen?"), so the present day can always be the present day. Technically, that means the
final scene with Will's young son is several years in the future, but one strongly suspects the future
will have riverbanks and fishing poles just like we have now.
Edward Bloom's best friends are a giant, a witch and a werewolf. He has a big, accepting heart. It
seems natural that the people in his life might come from a range of ethnic backgrounds. Although
our story is set in the American South, casting should never feel constrained by cultural

can i take the 2x4 "columns" and this 2x4 beam down? would that affect the structurally integrity of my house?

tearing down fake ceiling beam
can i take the 2x4 "columns" and this 2x4 beam down? would that affect the structurally integrity of my house?
1. Does the ceiling beam run in the same direction as the ceiling joists.
2. Do the "column" 2x4's just rest on the floor of the room or are they sitting on a support beam under the floor.
If 1 is the case then this beam is in no way a "bearing wall" supporting the second floor and/or the roof. OK to remove it.
If 1 is not the case and it runs across the ceiling joists then you more than likely have an insufficient beam carry the weight of the second floor and/or roof of your house, do not remove.
Take a look and post back what you have discovered.
thanks so much for your help. let me know what you think. nicole
There are three columns; the two on the ends are about a foot away from the wall. all 3 columns go up throught the cedar covering the beam and stop at the beam. the beam/2x4s apparently stops at the wall. It doesn't seem to continue through the wall (and attach to other structures).
is it too shaky to take down the columns?
i really appreciate your help!
My curiosity is getting the better of me.As far as removal, start at one end, then the middle then the other end. Let the columns support the beam for you as you go. Have fun.

With New York City's election day less than three weeks away, Save the Garment Center activists are hopeful their upcoming rally will stir up some political action for their cause.
This story first appeared in the October 15, 2009 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
Mayoral candidate Bill Thompson will be among a roster of speakers at the Oct. 21 noontime demonstration outside 550 Seventh Avenue. Mayor Michael Bloomberg, whose administration has been trying to hammer out a rezoning proposal for the neighborhood for years, has also been invited but has yet to respond. The mayor's office did not return a call for comment by press time Wednesday.
Organizers have been busy e-mailing designers, elected officials, showrooms, union members, factories, suppliers and students to try to rally the troops. At this stage, anywhere from 500 to 1,000 people are expected, according to Nanette Lepore, one of several champions of the initiative.
"It's not fair for a handful of landlords and the mayor to decide what is to become of the future of American fashion, or to take away what [hope] young designers and people with dreams have in making it in this world," Lepore said. "We're hoping the mayor is finally going to see that the city can't just bulldoze over us and just change the zoning without everyone throwing a huge fit. I wish there were a conscience to do what's right and what's not about money."
In addition to Thompson and Lepore, speakers will include the Council of Fashion Designers of America's Steven Kolb, Workers United's Bruce Raynor, Yeohlee Teng, Parsons The New School for Design's Simon Collins, Paper magazine's Mickey Boardman and Manhattan borough president Scott Stringer, among others.
Lepore manufactures 15,000 to 30,000 units each week in about 10 Garment Center factories, which enables those operations to take on smaller runs from other designers, especially young ones. "Let's be proud of Made in the USA. That is something that should be cherished and not just thrown away," she said.

Latest Minnesota rumor
The latest rumor out of Minnesota, according to a source that follows the Timberwolves, is they might want to trade the No. 5 and 18 picks to Oklahoma City for the No. 3 pick. The latest twist is Minnesota's target is Tyreke Evans, not Ricky Rubio or Hasheem Thabeet.
Sacramento, which picks No. 4, is believed to have Evans at the top of its board. Minnesota might feel compelled to move up to take Evans but doesn't want to give up the No. 5 and No. 6 picks to Memphis to get Evans since that would be a high price, especially since they also have interest in Rubio and Thabeet.
If Oklahoma City GM Sam Presti were to trade down to No. 5, would Sacramento take Rubio at No. 4? The Kings probably would have no choice. They also might be willing to trade the pick to the Knicks or another team, although those teams don't have extra draft picks.
If the Thunder does trade down and has the No. 5 pick — and Rubio and Thabeet are both off the board — the question would then become does Presti prefer James Harden or Stephen Curry.
If Rubio were still available at No. 5, what would Presti do, draft and keep Rubio or trade down a second time?

Meet Susan
Animals and pets are one of my greatest passions. I grew up with dogs and cats, and would have had a menagerie if I could! I love other pets as much as my own, and care for them to the fullest degree. Since I was a teen, I have dutifully cared for friends' and neighbors' pets when they went out of town, as well as family pets while I was also caring for the children. I have experience with all kinds of dogs and cats with diverse personalities, fresh and saltwater fish, small birds and rodents, horses, a Vietnamese potbelly pig, and a dream treat would be farm animals and exotics! I have a way with all creatures great and small that would rival Dr. Dolittle, but I like to think of myself as a Doc DoAlot, as is my style. I have a proven track record of being trustworthy, honest, ethical, professional, dependable, careful, and detail-oriented. Your pets will always have fresh water and food, a full tummy, receive lots of hugs and smooches, get their needed exercise, and will be cared for to your exact specifications, and to exceed your expectations by going above and beyond the call of duty. Your pet will always enjoy seeing me again, and vice versa! :)))

text: Posted 30 Mar 2011 He was bad last year. Does that mean he'll be bad going forward? That remains to be seen. The fact that people say "they hate having to root for him" is ridiculous. It's like they have some immature personal problem with him himself or something. As long as he's a Panther, I hope he becomes a great player. Fox is gone, people love Smith even tho I can argue he was worse than Clausen last year, people look at the defensive stats and think we were good there, we have 2 good rb's but it couldnt possibly have been them, we flukely sent 2 linemen to the pro bowl so the easy answer for people who dont really understand the concept for team sports is to point the finger at Clausen. Laziness and ignorance is what creates these types of threads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surviving Spring Break on a Diet
Breakfast at a diner, lunch at the airport, snack at the gas station, dinner at (gasp!) McDonald's. You finally reach your hotel, drift into a jet-lag induced coma and sleep in well past your normal workout time. It seems so inevitable: Spring Break is around the corner and we all know the health challenges that come with traveling. I'm not judging, I've been there! Anything goes when you're on vacation, but the trick is to stay in control. You don't want to find yourself coming home with the "Spring break is over, man, I blew my diet, now I'm home exhausted and bloated" blues.

As one of the world's largest manufacturers of tufted and woven carpet, Mohawk also offers carpet cushion products.
These carpet cushions utilize at least 90 percent pre-consumer recycled materials. We purchase excess foam from furniture and mattress manufacturers, as well as our own internal materials, to make rebond padding. This process diverted over 120 million pounds of foam from landfills in 2009.
Our synthetic cushion requires very little virgin material since approximately 90 percent of material comes from pre-consumer waste that is converted into raw materials. Much of this material comes from our own production facilities. In 2009 we converted 14 million pounds of waste into quality underlayment for all types of carpet.

Fixed Pitch Propellers are installed on ocean going vessels, such as container vessels, bulk carriers and tankers
The OPTI Design methodology ensures optimum performance and minimum levels of noise and vibration
A robust propulsion solution covering the full range of ship operating conditions
Reduced operating costs thanks to the highly efficient hydrodynamic optimised propeller blades
Low-noise propellers for research vessels and navy ships
In-house propeller manufacturing ensures excellent quality
Aft ship integration with an efficient EnergoProFin hub cap, or Energopac rudder
Monobloc Fixed Pitch Propellers are propellers casted in a single piece with the hub and blades. Wärtsilä FP propellers can be produced to meet all requirements regarding the number and size of the blades. The FP propeller guarantees maximum efficiency and minimum noise and vibration levels thanks to tailor-made designs using the latest available technology. The Cunial® material used provides excellent casting, machining, and fatigue properties. An additional advantage is the ease of reparability. A fixed pitch propeller is the choice when optimum efficiency, reliability and robustness are required. Fixed pitch propellers are usually installed for ocean going vessels, for example:
Each ship's hull has its own characteristics. In order to achieve the highest possible overall efficiency of the vessel, the propeller must be perfectly matched with the engine and hull. Propeller designs are always tailored to the specific application, and for this modern design tools are utilised by a vastly experienced hydrodynamic design team.
Wärtsilä's hydrodynamic engineers are also specialized in high-end Fixed Pitch Propeller designs for more advanced applications, such as:
These vessels commonly have typical requirements related to under water radiated noise levels.
For additional fuel savings, Wärtsilä Fixed Pitch Propellers can be equipped with Wärtsilä's fuel saving EnergoProFin propeller cap, or with Wärtsilä's optimised manoeuvring and propulsion Energopac solution. In cases where the propeller is heavily loaded, a High Performance Nozzle can be installed. OPTI Design produces even greater fuel savings by being able to thoroughly analyse the performance of both the propeller and the propeller-hull interaction.
Wärtsilä fixed pitch propellers are manufactured by the Wärtsilä CME Zhenjiang Propeller Co.,Ltd joint venture company. At this facility fixed pitch propellers with diameters from 1 m to 12 meters and up to 120 tons weight can be produced. As at the end of 2014, more than 2000 propellers have been produced since the joint venture company was established in 2004. Furthermore, it is able to take advantage of the extensive experience and databases of LIPS and Wärtsilä with regard to propeller design and production technology.
The propeller and shaft line design tools are based upon long experience with calculations, model test results, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and full scale results. Propeller efficiency, noise and vibration requirements are the main considerations for propeller designs that can be applied for a wide variety of speeds and power densities, and for any type of ship. The unique Wärtsilä Cunial® propeller material provides excellent casting, machining and fatigue properties.
Replacement propellers
Wärtsilä's extensive design knowledge and modern design tools can enable significant efficiency increases when retrofitting propellers. Existing propellers that are based on older design principles or different operational conditions, such as slow steaming, can be replaced so as to reduce fuel oil consumption. Efficiency improvements of up to 15% are possible.
The main reasons for a propeller replacement are:
Supply package
Each ship's shaftline has its own design and requirements. The propeller shaft installation has a proven and effective basic design, which enables easy installation :
Shaftline accessories' scope of supply

Tiny handmade red velvet cupcake by Chibi-petsWatch

To dark in my opinion.. but well I have to learn more ^^
Polymer clay cupcake! I love my new technique
Polymer clay cupcake! I love my new technique
I agree with you maybe a tad too dark but still you got the color right on!! It looks like your oven might have been too hot. I highly recommend you use an oven thermometre because it's impossible to guess. I use a toaster oven I bought only for clay and the temperature is very uneven throughout and I kept burning my whites or thin pieces and I didn't understand why... until I got a thermometre
Hope this helps
Hope this helps
oh the white is like that because I blush it ^^ I have a toaster one that is really helpful I use a little less temperature that it's said in the package. Thanks but the white was white until I add the blushing with pastel colors. I need to use less the next time or.. not blushing hehe
thanks for the advice ^^
thanks for the advice ^^
do you use a mold for the cake? Where'd you get it if you do?

"The Detroit Three are all run by non-car guys," Akerson said Wednesday at a Detroit conference hosted by Inforum, a women's leadership advocacy group. "Someday, there will be a Detroit Three that's run by a car gal. I actually believe that."
GM, Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler Group LLC have never had a female CEO. Akerson, Ford's Alan Mulally and Chrysler's Sergio Marchionne all have engineering or financial backgrounds. Mary Barra, a veteran of GM and the automaker's first female chief product officer, is considered a potential successor to Akerson.
After a $50 billion U.S. government bailout in 2009, GM has earned about $22 billion over the past three years, and is drawing praise from longtime critics, including Consumer Reports, for making some of its best cars ever. That's making it easier for the largest U.S. automaker to hire talented executives, including women, Akerson said.
"If I were a young woman, 20 years ago, I don't know if I'd have come to work here," he said.
Barra, 51, was promoted to head of product development in early 2011, less than six months after Akerson, 64, became CEO. She is responsible for the design and quality of all GM cars and trucks.
"There are an unbelievable number of talented women in automotive, certainly at General Motors," Akerson said, while declining to predict the timing of a Detroit Three company's naming a woman CEO. "It's inevitable; it's going to come to pass."

2005 Colts:
2006 Colts: Lost 3 of last 5 games, had worst rush defense (back when running the ball mattered some)-Won Super Bowl
2007 Patriots: Steam rolled opponents- Lost Super Bowl
2009 Saints: Lose last 3 games-Win Super Bowl
2010 Patriots: Roll off 8 game winning streak, most in dominant fashion and against 5 playoff teams. -Lose divisional Round
2010 Packers: 8-6 at one point, one loss from missing playoffs -Win Super Bowl
2011 Packers: One loss, and pretty much steamrolled through opponents. -Loses Super Bowl
2011 Giants: 4 Game losing streak, horrid pass defense, one loss from missing playoffs-Wins Super Bowl
2005 Colts, and 2006 Chargers are two other teams who steamrolled through the regular season only to be one and done.
2008 Cardinals are an example of a team with an unimpressive regular season record who made the Super Bowl. (Remember that Pats game). Cardinals were also pretty uncompetitive in some of their other losses.
A win is a win, once you get into the playoffs what you did in the regular season does not matter.
The only thing I really look at in the reg season (other than wins) is the QB play. Because, in this era, your Super Bowl aspirations are capped by your QBs potential. Brady has not played great thus far, but we know he's capable of playing great. There was a five game stretch in 2010 (Pitt, Ind, Det, NYJ, CHI) that Brady was just ultra efficient. He's capable of putting on that type of streak in the playoffs, and if he does, the Pats have a good shot.
Best team in the league doesn't always win the Super Bowl. There is just too much parity in the league for that to happen. A good offense can have a bad game, a bad offense can have a good game. Same goes for defense.
So while a lot of us can say this does not look like a Super Bowl team, remember this: There have been teams who have not looked like Super Bowl contenders during the reg season who have won it all. You don't need to look like a Super Bowl team during the regularson season, you just need to play like one for 3 or 4 games in Jan/Feb

Essays on the Pleasures of Death: From Freud to Lacan
Routledge, 1995 - 240 pages
Lacan's Return to Freud has been interpreted in past examinations as a vindication of Lacan as Freudian. In Essays on the Pleasure of Death, Ellie Ragland Sullivan clarifies the differences between concepts in Freud and Lacan and discusses the interconnectedness of both men's theories, while maintaining that crucial differences continue to exist. The author argues that Lacan's Return gave coherence to concepts which Freud could never explain - psychosis, narcissism, the body and the death drive. Grounded in clinical experience, and drawing on Lacan's as-yet-untranslated seminars through 1981, Essays on the Pleasures of Death demonstrates to the reader the transformation and translation that Freud has undergone, and places him as a psychoanalyst - not a philosopher - in both theory and practice.

Christina Schlieske's Blues Explosion
The 12-year road from struggling bar band to major-label hopeful has not been easy for Christina Schlieske. Despite her widespread popularity, the leader of Tina and the B-Side Movement has polarized local music audiences like few others--a woman whose show-biz dreams have always seemed, well, un-Minnesotan, at least by the anti-star standard set by old boys' clubs like the Replacements, Hüsker Dü, Soul Asylum, and the Jayhawks.
As a result, she's met with the sort of backbiting and scathing press that would stop many artists cold. But not Tina. "I think I keep myself at a distance from that whole thing because I really don't take myself seriously enough to let people affect me," she says by phone from Los Angeles, where she moved last year during the making of her new album, Salvation. "After a certain point, I just couldn't go around worrying what every single person thinks, because I'd go crazy. You can't be that grounded."
It's a surprise to hear such calm words from a woman whose image revolves around her mighty stage presence and a reputation as a control freak. But then, the public view of the flamboyant Schlieske has always been at odds with the more reserved, still awestruck homegirl, who was gracious and surprisingly unguarded in her hometown last week as she and her band prepared for an unprecedented three-night stand at First Avenue this Thursday through Friday.
In past, whenever she began "ego-tripping" (to use her favorite phrase), she counted on a reality check from close friends, and a very supportive family, which includes her businessman father; her arts-loving mother; her sister Laura, a longtime bandmate and vocal partner; and brother Erich, formerly her drummer and now her road manager. In fact, Schlieske's wish to extend that family vibe to her audience may be one of the reasons her local following is so extremely passionate, even quasi-religious. It's that mutual faith that seems to have brought Tina through some of the harshest times.
"Ever since I was young, I've had this vision, or a sense that deep down I knew what other people felt," she confesses. "I always knew if someone was happy or depressed, even without them saying anything. And I felt I could write music that would go along with that. Same thing in performance. I just felt I knew what people wanted."
Following their rambunctious 1992 debut disc, Young Americans, and a speculative demo for Virgin Records that didn't go anywhere, Tina and the B-Side Movement recorded a mellower follow-up, which reunited Schlieske with songwriter-guitarist Patrik Tanner, a friend from Apple Valley High School who'd pursued record and publishing deals in L.A. The record, Monster, made a smaller splash locally, but sparked a scouting war which was eventually won by Seymour Stein. While president of Sire/Reprise Records, he signed Madonna, Chrissie Hynde, Talking Heads, the Ramones, the Replacements, and--perhaps most importantly--k.d. lang, who seems to have become something of a stylistic touchstone for Schlieske.
Now president of Elektra Records, Stein's reputation among artists, especially strongminded female artists, would seem to put Schlieske in a position of creative liberty that lang enjoyed when Stein was at Reprise. "He's never really said exactly what he wants from me. I think he liked my individuality and where that drive has taken me. Frankly, [band manager] Patsy has spoken with him more than I have, because when I speak with him, I just freak out that it's Seymour Stein talking. To have someone like that have that much faith in you is incredible."
That vote of confidence has evidently been taken to heart, as Schlieske's self-assurance shines from beginning to end on Salvation, a diverse but cohesive 10-song collection that is by far her strongest work yet. The woman who's publicly tried on the shoes of teenybopper, hippie child, lustful lesbian, and boozing blueswoman is finding a way to combine her various musical loves into a multifaceted musical identity, validated by that aching, versatile voice. The emotional focus and artistic risk-taking of Salvation should move even skeptics (and I admit that for a time, I was one) to reevaluate their take on the band.
Tina's emotional breakthrough is first evident on the beautiful "Tonite," a lang-styled number filled with an unprecedented vulnerability, and heightened by a weeping string section. If "Tonite" is revealing, the slow R&B rouser "It's Alright" is downright startling. Inspired in part by the separation from her band since she relocated to Los Angeles, the song's spirit of devotion and selflessness would've seemed unthinkable from the Tina of four years ago. On the slower-moving side two, "Become Me" is an abstract but intriguing duel between the singer and her ancestral alter ego, in which a wigged-out clarinet solo gives the tune a Russian folk effect.
That sets the tone for the record's tour de force, the blood-curdling "Lullaby." If the lyrical inspiration smacks of channel-surfing during the Susan Smith circus, the vocal delivery cuts to the bone. Schlieske wavers in and out of key as if in a hyperventilating panic, muttering lyrics that sound like hysterical prayers, with a final wail that fades as if sinking beneath still waters. The album closes with a tone of weary resignation on "Million Miles Away," which details a marriage of convenience with the sorrow of pure autobiography.
Clearly, Salvation shows Schlieske's impressive transformation from bar-band shouter to a songsmith with a distinctive writer's voice. The singer agrees that she's grown. "I think the change came from a huge combination of things," she says. "Being in my late 20s, finally getting signed, and looking back on the type of person I'd become after 10 years of pushing so hard to get to this point, and questioning the worth of all that. I realized I definitely wanted to grow more as an artist, and the only way I could do that was to let go of a lot of the things I had held so tightly. I just couldn't be such a control freak anymore. I definitely think I'm a much calmer person to be around, and I know the band enjoys that."
Tina credits resourceful producer Paul Fox (Semisonic, Sugarcubes, XTC) with being an ace collaborator, bringing in numerous musical guests to fatten up the more upbeat tracks with horn sections and gospel choruses (including Rose Stone of Sly and the Family Stone). At other times, he adds fine detail to the country weepers, such as the sweet brass backdrop on the lonesome "I've Been Waiting." But it's Tina's vocal strength and breadth that make these feel like extensions rather than impositions. "I've always dabbled in different musical styles," she says. "And I just want to be able to write in any style I choose without sounding like something I'm not, or sounding too retro."
Though Bob Dylan's influence is less noted in her music than Janis Joplin's, Schlieske has shown a brave political concern in her writing, as on "Sons and Daughters" or Monster's smart religious critique, "Find No Right." But as an openly queer artist, Schlieske has so far avoided the soapbox and the spotlight on gay issues. "I've maintained a certain privacy in my personal life," she says, "and I think it's because I don't try to hide anything. If you project a protective, paranoid energy, it will only make your life more miserable. So far, nobody has dubbed me a "Great White Dyke Hope" or anything, like they have with Melissa Etheridge. I do think it is about time that people noticed that there is a huge [queer] market, and I certainly won't shy away from advertising or exposing myself there. But fortunately, people have just looked at me as a musician and not tried to put me in a certain category."
At this point, you couldn't put Schlieske in a simple category even if you did try. Descriptions like "country crooner" and "blues wailer" both seem to fit. But onstage last Saturday at Concordia College's Cornstock festival, the term "rocker" was still appropriate. In a clinging blue silk shirt, led the band in a 90-minute set, encoring with a sloppy version of Hendrix's "Fire." Tellingly, for a band that made their name doing Aretha Franklin covers and other '60s classics, it was the only non-original of the night.
Offstage, the sweat-soaked band looked glad to be done with the show, which seemed a vintage college-venue nightmare: inadequate monitors, last-minute schedule changes, gymnasium acoustics, etc. If they're insulted, they take it well, assured perhaps that they've just played their last show as an unsigned, regional phenomenon. Now they head for the Cities to begin rehearsal for a string of album-release concerts here, where positive reviews of Salvation have already been coming in. After more than a decade of neglect, dashed hopes, buildup and backlash, finally, a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T when they get home. CP
Tina and the B-Side Movement perform Thursday through Saturday at First Avenue; 332-1775.

Volunteer efforts
Seventeen years ago, Mary Belle Holder wasn't ready to stop working. She was only 76. So she decided to volunteer at the local library. Read the Free Lance-Star article for more about our amazing Mary Belle!
While discussing the idea of the series of library programs under the umbrella of Cultivating Community, it suddenly hit me that we could have a vegetable garden on the grounds of the Porter Branch! The next thought was...we could give the bounty of fresh vegetables to the Stafford County food pantry, otherwise known as S.E.R.V.E. The idea was to help the community, teach young people about fresh food and where it comes from, and allow those families who use the food pantry to obtain some fresh produce, locally grown.

Liverpool Transfer News: Reds star snubs Arsenal move, Rodgers target Remy set for Chelsea
DANIEL AGGER has completed a return to Brondby.
The former Liverpool defender has gone back to the club he started his career at.
Agger, 29, joined the Reds in 2006 and became a fans' favourite in his eight-year spell at the club.
Arsenal were also linked with a move for him in this transfer window.
But Agger made it clear to Liverpool and his representatives that he would only move home.
One-time Liverpool target Loic Remy is set for a move to Chelsea.
The Frenchman's chances of linking up with Brendan Rodgers were ruined when he failed a medical.
But Chelsea aren't put off and they could swoop once Fernando Torres joins AC Milan.

Additional Information
Important InformationAbout Asociación Arariwa
Asociación Arariwa is a large non-governmental organization that started offering microcredit in 1994 to improve the quality of life, skills and equity of the population in the rural Cusco region of Peru. Arariwa serves the southern Andean provinces of Peru, and is distinguished by its efforts to reach the very poor, who often live in isolated rural areas. Arariwa fosters village banking, supports savings accounts, promotes access to education, and empowers women entrepreneurs (who make up 78% of its borrowers).
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Skip to comments.Pay-by-race bake sale at Berkeley still on, student Republican group says
Posted on 09/26/2011 5:08:29 AM PDT by ShadowAce
It's meant to be racist, and it's meant to be discriminatory.
But the controversial "Increase Diversity Bake Sale" hosted by the Berkeley College Republicans is still on, the club's president said, despite "grossly misguided comments" and threats aimed toward supporters of the University of California Berkeley student group.
During the sale, scheduled for Tuesday, baked goods will be sold to white men for $2, Asian men for $1.50, Latino men for $1, black men for $0.75 and Native American men for $0.25. All women will get $0.25 off those prices.
The bake sale is meant to draw attention to pending legislation that would allow California universities consider race or national origin during the admission process.
"We agree that the event is inherently racist, but that is the point," BCR President Shawn Lewis wrote in response to backlash to the event. "It is no more racist than giving an individual an advantage in college admissions based solely on their race (or) gender."
Berkeley's student government, the Associated Students of the University of California, held an emergency Senate meeting late Sunday to discuss the issue and passed a resolution that, in part, "condemns the use of discrimination whether it is in satire or in seriousness by any student group."
"I completely support the idea of BCR -- or any students on campus -- (having) political discussion," ASUC President Vishalli Loomba said. "I think student members of BCR have a full right to express their feelings, but I don't necessarily think this tactic is constructive. I strongly encourage them to engage in this dialogue in a more constructive manner, such as a forum or a town hall meeting.'
But the bake sale is intended to be a direct, "physical" response to an ASUC-sponsored phone bank -- also scheduled for Tuesday -- where students will be encouraged to call...
(Excerpt) Read more at cnn.com ...
The whole exercise puts the lie to the idea that Leftwingtards seek non discrimination or that they believe in free speech.
They are uncovered as the Neo-Nazi POS they actually are.
Go Republicans, Go.
They always take flack for it but it's a perfect representation. The libs and progressives on campus refuse to think and see what this action really means.
I do hope he didn't just recently adopt that name. Much better to have something like that INHERITED!
Ha, liberals are such cry babies when their own philosophies and politics are the subject of satire... they, the heros of a just society, ha! The more they piddle with "social justice" the more injustice they produce.
In other words--I can't control the venue, so I don't like it.
The Aunt Pittypats are swooning over an educational demonstration. Perhaps if one added a banana, a chain saw, a quadruped and a jar of excrement, and removed all clothing of course...that would be fine with them.
So, native-American woman can get the stuff for free.
Then, they can set up their own bake sale and undercut the Young Republicans and put them out of business.
Truth is, that's exactly how Federal contracting is being done right now.
Thanks for posting, ShadowAce! This is a brilliant idea. I laughed when I read some of the students bought a cupcake to throw at them or to simply knock it off the table. Welcome to conservative anger....
If they did the exact same thing, but said it was "to show the income difference due to evil racists and capitalist greed" they would have all gotten hero awards for their 'sensitivity'.
I wish there were 'Like' buttons on a post, 'cuz I liked yours.
They can't bear to see their pet projects being mocked.
Obama would be charged 1.38 right? (1/2 of white man price plus 1/2 of black man price)
Berkeley has Republicans!?! Who knew!
Actually, to make the scenario more realistic, the Republican group would be required to pay Eskimos to take their merchandise, since Eskimos are always first in line at the Federal trough.
I've seen it happen.
Ain't diversity grand?
""I completely support the idea of BCR — or any students on campus — (having) political discussion," ASUC President Vishalli Loomba said. "I think student members of BCR have a full right to express their feelings, but I don't necessarily think this tactic is constructive. I strongly encourage them to engage in this dialogue in a more constructive manner, such as a forum or a town hall meeting.'
"Constructive," to a liberal, means conforming to whatever the liberal wants you to do. If any liberal is offended (and liberals are offended by EVERYTHING) it's NOT "constructive" (by their definition, of course). Thus, by their "reasoning," Republicans should never do ANYTHING, and certainly never do anything liberals don't approve of, because it's not "constructive".
Glad to see some people getting in their faces about THEIR inherent racism. It's way past time we stop condoning their childish and destructive behavior.
Great post! You are exactly right that federal contracting is one of the most racist systems going. Here, minorities are given all the advantages.
"and put them out of business."
That should have been the objective of the bake sale - go bankrupt. The Young Republicans kinda caved to the liberal line by begging off the profits and donating them to an unmentioned charity.
IMHO, the price scale should have started with the white guys paying the dead cost of the cup cakes and everyone else getting a subsidy, leaving the bake sale in the hole. That puts a finer point on the argument.
"I think it was the liberals who are angry.."
Darn! I was thinking that a simple bake sale (to show the disparity) was hitting home with some. Sort of like the "experiment" where the "A" students had to trade their grade to the "D" students in the name of "fairness and equity".
They can call it whatever they want, but affirmative action is still discrimination. It happens all the time. It's affected me and mine. My son, for example, was denied an academic scholarship solely because he's the wrong race. Had he been a minority, he would have received help, but since he's an evil white guy, he's held to a higher standard.
Now I know it's nice if one is on the up side of discrimination. I'm sure a number of white males liked it when they were on top, but what's that saying? Two wrongs don't make a right.
Right now, millions of people benefit from racial and sex-based preferences. They're on the up side of this, and they won't want to voluntarily relinquish their preferred status any more than a lot of whites (which we did BTW). That's a shame, because we'll never have a chance at peace so long as government plays favorites.
Do they accept EBT cards? Food stamps?
Fresh Wind: "Truth is, that's exactly how Federal contracting is being done right now."
I don't know if that's common knowledge, but you're right. Minorities create "businesses" that do little more than act as intermediaries between the government and white-owned businesses. They use their minority status to win contracts, then subcontract the business out to very (non-minority) businesses they beat out. I'm told there's some very good money in it if one knows what to do. I don't know if it's legal or not, but it's definitely done. I can't blame the minorities if it's legal, because they didn't set up the lopsided contracting system.
>>IMHO, the price scale should have started with the white guys paying the dead cost of the cup cakes<<
The cupcakes don't appear out of thin air. Someone is paying for them. Wonder how many non-white republicans there are at this school?
"condemns the use of discrimination whether it is in satire or in seriousness by any student group."
In other news, the student government welcomed the Vagina Monologues returning to campus this year.
Super brilliant!
Republicans, in Berserkley? Who knew? < /sarc >
"The cupcakes dont appear out of thin air. Someone is paying for them. Wonder how many non-white republicans there are at this school?"
So right you are. Using the liberal model, a govt loan (Solyndra) would be granted.
This cup cake sale could have been a perfect summary of what's going on today. They just narrowed the issue to affirmative action.
It's completely legal.
And if TEA Party experience is any indicator, how well they handle being loved to death!
The Young Republicans have done this before.
I can only hope they'll also point out what HYPICRITES their detractors are.
Having your class admissions based on race is okay, but doing the same for baked goods is racist?
They might run out onf the Asian bucket prices. People have been complaining for years that Asians dominate the UC System particularly Berkeley.
>>Using the liberal model, a govt loan (Solyndra) would be granted.<<
Doubled down fantastic lesson. Spot on!
In other words, this is too concrete! You need to move the debate to an abstract form where we can hear about feelings, fairness and correcting social injustice.
CA voted to end such institutionalized racism in higher education admissions with Prop 209 (1996). It's improper for the legislature to attempt circumventing this vote.

dude that was awesome
i liked the part where the dude farted n stuff
Good, if a bit confusing.
Was there some joke I missed? Nice animation, though. Just needs... clarification...
The end joke is more for Kim Possible fans if not anyone else :P
I really don't know wath to say about this one, but, the ending was cool...and funny....yeah.(uhhh...Hi,Hi puffy ami yumi is cool..yeah...really...are they really a band???!?!?...)
Yus they are. But they don't really have pink and blue outfits. Infact they look near identical, but then I guess most japanese girls do.
I did not really understand what the flash should tell me, but it was funny and nice animation.
