Ever start curling your hair, go to touch it, and get the piss burned out of your fingers? Yeah, us too. Like, all the time. We didn't know our hair could be so hot and not physically fall off. So when we saw that the Amika 19mm Tourmaline Curler ($112) came with a free heat-resistant glove, we took it as a sign that we needed a new curling iron. We like the clip-free model, not just because it saves our hair from that pesky crimp that comes with clamping our curl in place, but because of the tourmaline material. Tourmaline means negative ions, which mean less frizz, which means less need to curl the same strand over and over and over again, which means less heat is needed, which means we are less likely the burn the bejesus out of our fingers when we forget to wear the glove again.

As you've read here for the past few years, we've been on a huge growth curve. Due to rather inadequate training and onboarding processes this meant a lot of interviews and lot's of people to judge very quickly. But enough about the process, this one is personal.
One of the boilerplate questions we have to ask is "What would you say is your greatest weakness?" or "What was your biggest challenge and how did you overcome it?"
First: You'd be shocked how stupid most people are: they answer it outright in a way that explains precisely why they are out looking for a job.
Second: It shows you that they have no idea how stupid they are. Listen, there is no such thing as a perfect employee and you're not the first person I've ever interviewed. So if your weakness is "I'm too nice to customers" or "I work too hard" just go back to the used car dealership.
But like I said, this one is personal and this week someone asked me what my answer would be. Of course it depends on the role I was going for but if I had to answer honestly it's typically that I bite off a lot more than I can chew. Now before you queue a fatass buffet joke about me, I mean that in terms of ambition. I often take on stuff that I'm either not capable of or am not sure how I'll pull off in the first place.
It's negative in a sense that I typically put in far too much work to get something done and grossly misjudge the amount of time needed to get something done. I'm pretty sure every developer (at least every developer I've ever worked with) deals with this issue, when you get down to the details creativity is the enemy of productivity.
It's positive in a sense that I probably never would have made more than $50,000 if I only stuck to what I was good at. By constantly challenging myself I was able to build my company into something quite impressive.
Now, how does this impact my ability to get a job? Well, in an environment where I was left to make my own decisions, I probably wouldn't fit. Nobody wants to hire a workhorse and work him to death because you're back to hiring someone to clean that persons mess (and everyone leaves one). On the other hand, in a managed environment where creativity would be curbed by a decision maker and execution driven by someone that can actually do stuff, stuff happens.

We're going to pick up a set of these Bear Temporary Tattoos ($5 for two) from Tattly, but really only as a way to test locations on our body before we get this inked for real. The design is by Nic Annette Miller, and we think we want it with us always. The bear is certainly ferocious, but looks more mad that you woke it up from a nap than mad that you exist and therefore must be destroyed. We can commiserate, bear.

New Year's is the time of year to examine our future and make positive changes. With health on the forefront of many minds, the question "to cleanse or not to cleanse?" can prove daunting. There are many different types of cleanses addressing multi-systems or targeting specific conditions. There are multiple methods for achieving a successful cleanse whether the goal is weight loss or artery flushing, but when is it wise to do so?
Herbal preparations are an effective process for deep system cleansing over a period of time. A more radical approach is a juicing fast with fresh fruits and vegetables. Plants, foods, have a chemical reaction with our biochemistry. The type, length of time and degree of cleanse may have dramatic implications.
This shared thought is a status update quoted from "The Nourished Life" Facebook page: "… Balance is my best friend when it comes to food. I realize my relationship with food, exercise and healthy living is a long-term one--it's not decided in one meal or one day or even one month. It's something I develop and tweak over time." December 27, 2013.
The body naturally strives for homeostasis. This delicate balance is essential for health and upsetting that balance can exacerbate existing conditions or even create more threatening ones. Before beginning any cleanse, consult with a qualified health care professional who is able to acquire the necessary labs to formulate a plan based on individual health history. This unique program will ensure a successful practice for long-term well being.

I Can't Explain [Blank]
So God Must Exist
Bill Fundom
To: "Positive Atheism" <email@example.com>
Subject: Love not possible without God?
Date: Tuesday, April 17, 2001 11:26 PM
To use the logic that says "We don't understand love so it must prove God exists" makes me think of the weird logic used by the UFO crowd and the Ancient Astronauts believers.
The UFO people seem to accept the following reasoning. "I see something flying through the air and I don't know what it is so it must be an alien space ship."
The Ancient Astronaut followers say: "I see an artifact or ancient structure that I can't explain so it must have been left by ancient space travelers or built with their help."
Theist use the same logic all the time. "I can't explain __________ (fill in the blank with mystery of your choice), so it proves that God exists."
Through the centuries we have come to understand many thing our ancestors never had a clue about. What keeps the stars and planets from falling out of the sky? What causes the seasons? What is wind? Where do babies come from?
The list is obviously endless and gets longer every day as mysteries fall victim to the scientific method and logical reasoning.

TORONTO -- Nick Trantos remembers the parade like it took place yesterday.
Trantos and a school chum cut class, hopped on a streetcar and headed to Bay Street to see their heroes: the Stanley Cup champion Toronto Maple Leafs. The year was 1967 and Trantos was 9 years old.
"I wasn't going to miss it for anything," said Trantos, 55. "I was not going to be denied. I remember the convertibles carrying the players passing us, and the one I most remember, other than the one George Armstrong was riding in with the Stanley Cup, was the car carrying Dave Keon. He was my hero and he won the Conn Smythe Trophy that year. I was a few inches from touching him and it was the biggest thrill. He gave me a glance and I carried that with me for years."
Trantos is not alone. Not by a long shot.

Duke University Study Shows Why People Prefer Dead End Jobs
by Alexandra Levit - Dec, 2013
When I was a child growing up in Maryland, we visited relatives in New York and Philadelphia often. Back in the eighties, the toll booth operator job on the New Jersey turnpike was the national symbol of boredom. I remember sitting at the booth longer than we had to just so that the poor operator could have some human conversation. Albert Camus might have been thinking of the toll booth operator when he wrote The Myth of...

Opera buys AdMarvel (mobile advertising company) for $8 million
Not long after Google acquired AdMob and Apple bought Quattro Wireless, Opera Software announced that it's buying a mobile advertising company, too.
The company in question is AdMarvel, a California-based startup established in 2006 and led by Mahi de Silva, a former Apple and VeriSign employee.
By acquiring AdMarvel, Opera wants to "include highly scalable ad monetization services" into its mobile products and services – like Opera Mobile and Opera Mini (both of which are highly popular mobile browsers).
"Every month, nearly 50 million people access the Web using Opera on their mobile phones and together with AdMarvel, we think we can play an important role in the evolution of mobile advertising," declared Opera's Chief Executive Officer Lars Boilesen.
Opera didn't say how much it's paying for the acquisition of AdMarvel, but TechCrunch reports that the Oslo-based company forked out $8 million and it will further pay a $15 million earnout if some "aggressive financial targets" are met within the next two years.

The Anthropology Museum cares for a significant collection of non-Western art and artefacts including contemporary Pacific and Australian Indigenous artwork. The Museum also holds a collection of 6500 photographs.
It is by far the largest of UQ's museum collections and the largest university collection of ethnographic material culture in Australia. The foundation collection was donated to the University prior to the establishment of the School of Social Science.
This photograph was part of Judy Watson and Diana Youngs exhibition, written on the body. Their research dates the image as 1898, and gives the mens names as Euro possibly Hero and Tiger. The photograph was taken at Musgrave Native Police Camp, Eastern Cape York, by Walter Roth, then Protector of Aborigines in Queensland. While in this role (1896-1906), Roth spent much of his time collecting information about Aboriginal languages, places, activities, and bodies. This photograph is one of a set of images of people with labels on their torsos.

Frank Pignanelli & LaVarr Webb: How will the government shutdown affect Utah politics?
Mike Terry, Deseret News
Whew! Congress finally ended the food fight — for a short while. Bad leadership and bad followership just about created an economic and public policy disaster. We review the Utah political ramifications.
Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, is proclaimed either as a new star in the Republican Party or a tea party villain who jeopardized the country. What's the bottom line — has he helped himself or hurt himself in Utah?
Pignanelli: "Next time you accuse a teenage girl of overreacting, just remember that a whole bunch of older men shut down the government because they were not getting their way." — Unknown blogger
Monday at 12:05 p.m. was important moment for me. I encountered a Utah conservative Republican who was not irritated with Mike Lee. Yes, Utah's junior center generated tremendous hostility, but despite conventional discourse that does not translate into a career death spiral. His re-election is in 2016 — the political equivalent of an epoch away — and much can happen in the meantime. More importantly, Lee is unlikely to be a part of any government shutdown in the months leading to the election, and what happened in 2013 and 2014 will be a distant memory. Lee is golden with the delegates — who will be more conservative after the 2014 precinct caucuses — and protect him against any challenges. If the delegate system is junked in a 2014 initiative (a huge "if"), Lee may encounter a primary opponent. Thus, national tea party organizations will throw resources to defend the convention process. Also, voters moan about controversial politicians who inconvenience them. But they also respect officials that fight for their principles — and Lee fits into this category without question.
Webb: Lee may be a national tea party darling, but he's in serious danger of losing the support of Utah business and community leaders, local government leaders and a majority of Utah citizens. In his e-mail fundraising messages, Lee says the Washington establishment and liberal elitists are out to get him. In reality, it is normal Utahns who are quickly tiring of his lousy strategy that is hurting the cause of conservatism. I will be very surprised if a mainstream Utah Republican (perhaps more than one) doesn't challenge him for the GOP nomination in 2016.
Rep. Jim Matheson is enduring severe criticism in Democratic circles for his support of Republican legislation to defund Obamacare. Has he helped himself or hurt himself in Utah?
Pignanelli: Ultraconservative and ultraliberal activists have a large common denominator: irrational actions just to make a point. Liberals expressing outrage against Matheson for his recent votes are disingenuous. From the moment he filed for office in 2000, Matheson established the standard that he was not beholden to any party ideology, and his career votes reflect Utahns' disdain for massive federal programs. Matheson's base is secure, but vocal leftist groups are recruiting individuals to file against him — just to make a point.
Webb: Matheson is adept at walking the political tightrope and winning re-election in a very conservative district. He should end the charade, switch parties and become a moderate Republican.
Meanwhile, I was disappointed that GOP Congressmen Rob Bishop, Chris Stewart and Jason Chaffetz voted against the compromise agreement that reopened the government and raised the debt ceiling. They voted to continue dysfunction and gridlock, keep federal employees from working and prevent America from paying its bills. I assume they are scared of an election challenge from the right wing. Had their votes been needed, I believe they would have done the right thing and supported the deal. But it shows how the far right terrifies our politicians.

Standing at the corner of Northwest Highway and Elm Street in Park Ridge, IL is a rather unimpressive looking building emblazened with the name "Audrey's" in white script letters. It may look boring in outward appearance—but appearances can often be deceiving.
This building was once the home and studio of artist and designer Alfonso Iannelli. It was also a place where amazing people regularly created absolutely amazing things for almost 50 years. Most likely, this building will be torn down in the near future to make room for something new.
The cynic would respond: "So what. Why does it matter? It's happened a hundred times before to buildings with more architectural significance: Midway Gardens, the Larkin Building, the Imperial Hotel, the Babson House, the Chicago Stock Exchange—the list goes on and on. What makes the Iannelli Home and Studio so special that it should be saved?"
The current story about the Iannelli Home and Studio weighs heavily against its being saved: This visually bland building has been altered over the years making it difficult for someone who looks at it to see any worth. Alfonso Iannelli is a relatively unknown artist compared to larger-than-life personalities like Frank Lloyd Wright or Louis H. Sullivan. Worst of all, the horrible economy works against the odds of anyone having the money to save it and restore it.
When the story is presented like that, things seem grim for the building's future. But this naysayer's story isn't the whole story—it's not the whole truth. If we look beyond first impressions, conveneient excuses and balance sheets, we would find a different story about this place altogether. A more amazing story that provides a rich and clear picture as to why this structure is important.
I asked Tim Samuelson, cultural historian for the City of Chicago, to help tell the real story about what makes the Alfonso Iannelli Home and Studio so special. He was kind enough to provide some information and a host of unique images associated with the people and events that make this building matter.
(The Iannelli Home and Studio exterior from around 1935)
Living and working at the site until his death in 1965, Alfonso Iannelli became a central figure in Park Ridge's thriving art colony of the era. In 1919, Alfonso and Margaret Iannelli purchased a home and former blacksmith shop which dated back to Park Ridge's early years as a brickmaking center.
(An early Barry Byrne sketch for the Iannelli Studios complex)
With the assistance of the Iannelli's friend and longtime architectural collaborator, Barry Byrne, the blacksmith shop was transformed into a multi-disciplinary studio where many notable architects turned to develop sculpture and decoration for their projects.
(Left: Studio interior circa 1940. Model of horseman is for replacement sculpture for St. Martin's Church in Chicago. Right: Another view of the Studio interior from 1940.)
Within its walls, projects were created for a roster of clients that included Barry Byrne, George Grant Elmslie, John Lloyd Wright, Holabird & Root, and many others.
(This photo dates from about 1924 and shows Alfonso is working on a proposed monument for the Lincoln Highway. The model for Barry Byrne's St. Thomas the Apostle is behind him.)
The studios also created art and display projects for Chicago's Century of Progress world's fair in 1933-34, as well as many classic home appliance designs for Sunbeam, Oster and other manufacturers.
(Left: A close up view of one of the entrances of the Electrical Group building at A Century of Progress International Exposition in early 1933, a few months before the opening of Fair. Image via Century of Progress Records, 1927-1952, University of Illinois at Chicago Library. Right: Patent for electrical iron designed by Alfonso Iannelli in 1933. Image via Google patent search.)
Studio assistants included: Bruce Goff, who at times lived at the complex. Edgar Miller, whose talents in blending art and architecture were honed while working there. Margaret Iannelli, Alfonso's wife and influential graphic artist and illustrator whose talents contributed greatly to the growth of Progressive design. And Ruth Blackwell, talented artist and illustrator in her own right.
(Left to right: Architect Bruce Goff(on left) and unidentified man at the entryway of the connector between the house and studio circa 1935. Edgar Miller at Studio in 1924 while working on plaster models for terra cotta on Barry Byrne's St. Patrick's Church in Racine, Margaret Iannelli (right) unidenfied (left) Fons Iannelli (lower middle) circa 1920.)
All of this information taken together as a whole reveals that between 1920 and 1965, the Iannelli Studios in Park Ridge was the place where Chicago's creative architecture found its art.
So why does this place matter? It looks bland now, but that is just a superficial veneer covering the true magic of the place. It may have been altered since it was occupied by Iannelli, but there exists a rich archive of photos, drawings and original blueprints which could be used to restore the building back to what it once was.
It's true that Alfonso Iannelli and his studio's contributions are one of the best kept secrets in the story of Modernism. Saving the building becomes a fantastic opportunity for Park Ridge to proudly tell this gripping story and its connection to their town.
The economy may be bad, but that is the perfect time to invest in civic improvements when resources will go farther and subsequently bring an interested public to your town to spend time and money.
We've only shared a small glimpse of the entire story of the amazing things created at this humble little building. In historical imporance and uniqueness, the Iannelli Home and Studio is to Park Ridge what the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio is to Oak Park. If restored and presented to the public in a way that inspires people, it could become a vehicle of education, civic pride and potential revenue. One day, it could be known as a destination for people from all over the world who are interested in the roots of American Modernism. In short, the Iannelli Home and Studio is a place worth saving because it is a place that matters. pm

Short YN560II first impression
Hi Guys,
I got some weeks ago the YN560III for some testing.
I must say that it is very similar to it's older brother 560II in function -speed and general usage.
I think that it is a very welcomed add-on to anyone who uses those RF trigger.
In my impression it has a better range compared to the YN560II+RF602, I tried it up to 35m-45m and the the 560III seemed to operate better.
Here is an example at ~45m:

I Love You, Beth Cooper Movie Reviews
User reviews on I Love You, Beth Cooper
This movie was so bad, I will throw myself off the plane if it is shown during my next flight rather than watch it again. I watched it with my mouth hanging open thinking it had to get better, but it never did. I made the mistake of taking my 12 year-old daughter and her friend WITHOUT performing my customary research first. Big mistake. The story itself was just plain stupid and completely unbelievable. Add to that numerous scenes involving the "poor hero" getting his butt kicked repeatedly, the ongoing sexual references and the "three-way" involving teenagers, this movie does not have enough entertainment value to interest any adult for more than a minute. Tweens are too young to see it, although they did laugh quite a bit. I can't imagine anyone liking this movie, but that's my opinion.

Terence Blanchard: Taxi Driver
Taxi Driver
Terence Blanchard (trumpet)
Jazz in Film (Sony Classical SK 60671)
Terence Blanchard (trumpet), Joe Henderson (tenor sax),
Kenny Kirkland (piano), Reginald Veal (bass), Carl Allen (drums). Orchestra conducted by J.A.C. Redford.
Composed by Bernard Herrmann.
Recorded: Los Angeles, March 17-18, 1998
Rating: 97/100 (learn more)
Terence Blanchard's accomplished Jazz in Film extends from Alex North's groundbreaking score for A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) to one of the trumpeter's own film scores, for Spike Lee's Clockers (1995). One of the most striking interpretations, if only based on the strength of Blanchard's and Joe Henderson's solos, is "Taxi Driver," from Bernard Herrmann's final score, for Martin Scorsese's searing and upsetting 1976 film of that name. Herrmann's main theme may be too forlornly gorgeous for a character as disturbing and repugnant as Robert DeNiro's Travis Bickle, and also doesn't do justice to the seamy, violent and crumbling New York City of the '70's, but it is an undeniably entrancing creation nonetheless.
The orchestra's supple intro remains faithful to Herrmann's own, after which Blanchard tenderly and glowingly intones the bittersweet melody, then repeated by Henderson before a unison reading by trumpet and tenor above the swelling strings. A melancholy interlude by the orchestra, containing also a tinge of foreboding, precedes Blanchard's moving solo, with its irresistibly melodic development and captivating vocalized effects. Henderson's entry is typical, a fluttering, succinct phrase that he embellishes before progressing to the meat of his statement, characterized by swooping runs and graceful legato transitions that culminate in a satisfying resolution. The two horns and the orchestra now play a pensive refrain, after which Blanchard reiterates Herrmann's theme.

Once again, with your support, today HB2183; Prohibiting the Sale of Ivory, unanimously passed its first committee Now is the time to act on 3 other important bills scheduled for hearings this Thursday Feb.6 and Friday Feb. 7, 2014. Join the HSUS, Human Society of the United States Honolulu Chapter and Inga Gibson at the State Capitol.Address:
Hawaii State Capitol
415 S. Beretania, Room 229
Honolulu, HI 96813
United States
1) SUPPORT HB2368; to explicitly prohibit the slaughter or trafficking of dogs or cats for human consumption and;
2) SUPPORT HB2534; to finally require that large-scale dog breeders be registered.
Both of these bills are being considered this THURSDAY Feb. 6, 2014 at 9:40am in Chair Wooley's Agriculture Committee. To email testimony directly to the Committee (email email@example.com)
Sample testimony on HB2368; slaughter or trafficking in dogs or cats
- Dogs and Cats are pets. More than 60 percent of Hawaii households have dogs or cats who they consider family members. This is an animal cruelty issue-- not a cultural or "food choice" issue.
- Dogs used for the dogmeat trade are often lost or stolen pets or acquired from free to good home ads or the internet
- Share your personal stories.
Sample Testimony on HB2534: dog breeder registration
· Hawaii has NO large-scale dog breeder laws or regulations. This bill simply requires that they register in order to protect both dogs and consumers
· Dogs bred in puppy mills (that yes, we sadly DO have in Hawaii) are often neglected when profit is put over welfare
· Without this registration requirement, animal care and control agencies often don't learn about such operations until conditions are extremely poor, and when animals are sick or dying.

Jessie J Reveals Hasty Behind The Scenes Talks With The BBC
Jessie J's involvement in The Voice series two has been the subject of a lot of confusion lately, but she's now revealed the details of exactly what happened.
First, it was reported she wasn't taking part, then she said she is, before admitting that her own autobiography Nice To Meet You says that she won't be returning.
While talking to Alan Carr - in an interview that airs on Chatty Man tonight - she cleared up exactly what happened:
"My tour dates and the dates of The Voice clashed, so I said: 'I need to prioritise my tour and my fans.' I was really gutted so I called the head of the BBC and said 'Can we talk about this? I don't feel right.'
"I didn't want to miss out, so I sat with them and we looked at the dates and we jigged things around and I was then able to do it."
Could she shake things up for series two? Well, Jessie also said that she'd prefer it if the show didn't look into emotional backstories X Factor-style:
"I am not a major fan of the whole back story and 'Let's all feel sorry for everyone.' It is a bit like: 'Been there, done that, seen that.' Isn't it about the voice? I might get in trouble for this…"
We're looking forward to seeing if the show takes her advice... BS

This US vocal trio comprised Brenda Jones, Shirley Jones and Valerie Jones (17 April 1956, d. 2 December 2001), and first came to public attention after backing Diana Ross on tour. In the past they had opened for artists including B.B. King, the Four Tops and Little Richard. It was through Ross that they gained their first studio session, but it was not until 1977 that they released their debut single, produced by Kenny Gamble of Gamble And Huff; You Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else reached the US Top 40. Surpassing all original criticisms that they were too derivative of the Emotions, the trio established their own exquisite style with melodic and soulful vocals, luscious strings, tight horns and slick rhythms. However, owing to bad luck with two record companies that both collapsed, their chart success was wrecked; however, during the early 90s they returned with the release of Coming Back.

|It's Senior Day for two Vandals
The University of Idaho swimming and diving team celebrates its seniors and competes for the first time in six weeks when New Mexico State Aggies come to Moscow Friday for a 5 p.m. meet at the UI Swim Center.
"The gap is pretty standard for swimming and diving, we are an interesting sport because we transcend two different seasons," coach Mark Sowa said.
During the break the team spent time training and getting healthy. The Vandals spent eight days training in Arizona where they practiced twice a day and the divers had the opportunity to work on all three dives.
The Vandals are excited to be back at it against WAC component New Mexico State, which finished fourth at the Western Athletic Conference Championship Meet last season."They are someone we want to chase down so we are pretty excited about that," Sowa said "but we are also excited because we get to honor two of our seniors."
Seniors Meaghan McCloskey and Kelsie Saxe will compete in their last home meet Friday. The two have both been tremendous leaders for the team.
McCloskey, a Washington native, has become a great leader on the team and her positive energy has been really fun to watch as she progressed as a swimmer over the last 18 months.
"We can expect some great things from her this year in the butterfly events and the 200 IM at the end of the year," Sowa said
In Saxe's swimming career at Idaho she has worked her way into the best breaststroker in the history of the program. She holds the school record in the 100m and 200m breaststroke, both medley relay races and the second fastest 50m breaststroke spilt in the conference.
"She is really a tremendous athlete," Sowa Said

All veggies and I find it a delightful bowl of soup I feel very comfortable recommending this nice bowl of soup
I'm not a soup fan as most packaged soups are just water. This had far more vegetables in it than I've seen in commercial soup before. The taste is subtle, bit peppery but not overpowering.
My second favourite, after the roasted pepper tomato one.

Darn good soup

Oriental Express, Seoul: Korean traditional instruments + Jazz!
There are many ways available for you if you want to be a musician. Some of them are autodidact, the other pursue formal educations either in music schools or by having private in-home or in-studio music lessons for example from the institution provided by http://takelessons.com/ among others. Having a formal education will definitely give benefit in order to establish strong basic skill that will be needed in building up the career.
I had the good fortune to witness some of South Korean's cultural dynamism this week when I saw the fusion band Oriental Express (http://orientalexpress.org) perform live in Seoul. Youngjun Choi – pianist, composer and founder of Oriental Express – joins us in this exclusive interview where he shares his musical vision and journey, the story of the band, their albums, and his goals as a career musician and humanitarian in this day and age.
What was the vision behind founding of your music group, and the name of your group?
I was a band leader for the TV shows back in the 90s. I played smooth jazz and fusion jazz for the show. I sort of met a wall of real jazz as a Korean. Then I decided to go to Berklee College of Music which is famous for jazz. Commuting every day to the school, it was easy to come across street musicians playing on buckets and even scrap metals. Their sound was really touching for me: African Americans really know how to drum!
But I realised it is also odd that some Koreans do not care for their traditional music that much. People just move faster and faster with the times and somehow too Westernised. So after the initial shock, I started to study Korean rhythm. After I finished my Master's for Computer Music, I had a chance to develop Korean software synthesizer for traditional music from a government fund. The demo music for the software synthesiser with sequencer program was "Oriental Express" which we gave to the name of a track in the first album. Good software needs a good demonstration. That is where Oriental Express begins!
I had a vision. When I first bought my car, I wanted to drive to Europe, but it is not possible to go there. There is North Korea. In a plane map, Seoul to London is really far. But once you explore Google Maps with a little bit of interaction, you can roll the earth! If you put the North Pole to the centre of your screen, Seoul to London is not that far as compared on an ordinary plane map.
Korea has a dream for re-unification. Koreans wants to drive to China, Russia, Middle East and Europe. I say, that is Oriental Express. That is where Oriental Express came from. As I said earlier, technology helped me to find a short cut. "Oriental Express" expresses Korean traditional music with technology. In fact we develop Korean traditional instrument software synthesizer, apps, electronic versions of traditional instrument and robots too!
Oriental Express tries to find a new sound from the traditional to high tech and will find an express way to express new music!
What made you take to music, particularly the piano?
When I was six, my father brought me a piano. He taught himself to play piano, from classical to Korean songs. I play piano a lot, sometimes all day long.
In front of the piano, there was a whole new world spreading beyond my imagination. I went to a private music teacher but after playing piano I realised classical music was so boring to me. However, I kept playing piano and composing music. I had a tape recorder and I recorded some music in my childhood. My elder brother bought an electric guitar for fun but I was too serious to play guitar too. I played acoustic guitar for the girl next door to my house – though I never talked to the girl, I was too shy to talk to her as a teen!
Soon, I came back to piano again. I want to explore more new sound, that is why I went to an electronic engineering college to build my own synthesizer. At that time, there was no jazz music college in Korea either.
I mainly use keyboard to compose music, but I do some avant-garde computer music and tape music too. For that I use the computer to generate sound. But in Oriental Express, I use the sequencer and keyboard with some extra sound design.
How would you describe your musical journey?
The first album "Oriental Express" shows the main idea of our band. "To The West" is the album title. I want to play music especially in London. That is the end of the continent from the Korean point of view. Of course, we are going to play music on the way there by car: it means Korea is re-unified!
Our second album is "Cruising Together." Playing with other musician is really hard, as well as keeping good relations with them. It is really a challenge for musicians. As a teacher at the music college, I want to show to the student, that there can be a band that plays together for more than 20 years. Cruising together is a vow to keep musicians in a band.
The third album is "Vision of the Road." We ask ourselves, why do we play music? What is the plan of the God? Why did God assemble Oriental Express and let us play in harmony? I am trying to be a religious man and find a way to reach God. A way to reach God is via a road, how to reach to God is vision. Today people are very stresses by everyday life. To escape the routine of daily life is to find a vision. I want to share that vision with people through this album.
Our fourth album is "Wonderful Life." In Confucius, when a person reaches age 40, he is not suspicious of everything and is able to overcome temptation. At 20, we study, at 30 we try to find a job. Everybody wants a wonderful life: successful career for money, house or nice car. In order to reach that wrong dream, we sometimes do wrong. At age 40, I can see more than 20 or 30. I see more absurd things also. I thought to correct the wrong is justice. But sometimes defining justice is not that easy. It is not just one side of the coin. I mean, justice cannot be defined that way. You cannot flip it to define right or wrong. I try to describe these matters in the album through the track "No winner, No loser", "Lost and Found", "Something Special" and "Beautiful Life". You get something when you achieve a wonderful life. You believe that there is something really special. But you have to pay for it or lose something. What if the stuff that you lose is the most important thing? What would you do? These are the matters that we debate in the album.
We are now working on our next album, the fifth. The title will be "Colour of Mind." I have started to have more curiosity about people. In order to cure people, we need to diagnosis the problem. What colour and vision does the person have? How do you define people? We have finished a couple of songs and one of them is "Mind Explorer". I want to know people.
How did you meet the musicians in your band? Tell us something about them.
Our bassist is Hyunmo Kim. I meet him when I was 23, after military service as an army conscript. I came back to college and played more music. I hung around to find a good musician and meet Hyunmo Kim and assembled the band.
We did a CD album which really faded away, no income, no fame at all for us. But it was the most valuable album that I made. While I was studying at Berklee College of Music, he worked for Samsung Electronics. Probably stressful to him, he quit maybe in four years! He came back as a musician for no pay. But, he did bass and was really popular in Japan as a Hentai bassist who could play as a Japanese cartoon animation character. The Japanese were amazed with his chopping bass, and his nice personality.
Back in 2010, in California, there was the Whitman-Jerry Brown race for governor. When Whitman's spokeswoman put out the Twitter id for Whitman, their mistake in the URL lead to Hyunmo's freak bass playing YouTube site! That night, the YouTube clicks exceeded 1,300 million views, and he was featured in the Los Angeles times too!
I met drummer James Kim in college as a student. When I finished my master's degree, I had a hard time getting a job. One day there was an open position in a college, due to a professor's suicide. I meet James Kim there. He is older than I am, and already was a famous drummer in Korea, so teamed up with him to do music together.
Our lovely gayageum (a traditional Korean zither-like string instrument) player Kyungso Park is a diva for Oriental Express. A professor in the same department introduced me to her. I had requested the professor to find a performer with deep Korean traditional music and yet contemporary chops, with a beautiful mind. That is how I meet Kyungso. I worked with Kyung a long time, almost seven years, in composing for a full Korean traditional music orchestra, ensemble and many other works. She teaches me good lessons in Korean traditional music too.
Haegeum (a traditional Korean string instrument, resembling a fiddle with rod-like neck, hollow wooden soundbox and two silk strings) player Ashley Choi just joined band. We search a long time to find a great player. She just graduated from Korean National University of Art and also has a good Japanese skill. We are still knocking on the doors of the Japanese market.
Who would you say are the leading influences in your musical career?
For me, in the early 1980s Shakatak was the main influence. That could be one reason why we want to go to London too. Though we all come from different backgrounds, we play from the same big page. We try to find common ground. The band member's ages range from 20 to 40. We actually cover all genres and pretty much every kind of music. I would never know the music of Björk if had not met Kyungso.
Who are some of your favourite Korean and jazz musicians?
"Eunpa Jo" is my mentor and he showed me a really bright way to be a good musician. He is famous composer in Korean pop, one of the top royalty earning composers and lyricists, but most of his money goes to people who lost their way — he helps homeless people. For me, I do not admire a musician who just plays good music, I admire a composer who shows his music through his life. The music is like a mirror, it projects one's thoughts.
How do you blend jazz with Korean music in your performance?
Western music and Korean music is really different. In text, "composition" means you arrange something for Western music. But "compose" in Korean, actually Chinese, means you make a tune. This may be hard to explain. For instance, in Korean music, you pluck one string and vibrate it to make resonance, you pluck a note and wait. Sometimes it is like Korean scenery, mountain views of Korea. For rhythm, it is really ritual and ceremonial to the God of the land. As you know, Korean history is based on agriculture. The tuning system is different from Western music, and rhythm is different too.
It is really hard to blend Korean music to jazz. Jazz has roots in Africa and Africa American slaves. Korean music also has roots in its farmers, who sing while working. That inspires me and it really works for me to mix the two kinds of music. Of course jazz music has many genres, and so does Korean traditional music too. But this is the starting point for me.
What new album or video are you working on now?
We plan to record our fifth album "Colour of Mind" at the end of the year. We plan to make a music video too, in front of the iconic Korean places such as demilitarised zone, palaces, and city views.
What have been your previous highlights in playing across Korea and Asia?
Japanese magazine "Workers" mentioned us as one of the top Korean Jazz bands. We have millions of clicks in Japanese top video site www.nicovideo.jp — this is why we want to expand our career in Japan before we go to London. Spanish webzine NoSoloSoothJazz.com has reviewed every Oriental Express album too.
Do you also teach workshops for students and musicians?
I teach music class and music technology class. I also teach Korean fusion music class in my college.
In my college, there's a Korean Traditional Music Department and Contemporary Music Department with jazz, rock, and pop music. Each department has its own curriculum, so it is hard to mix them. But I started with a small group of student and now there are almost 40 students who play fusion music. We start from Korean traditional rhythms and expand to melody. At the end of the semester, we do a concert and record a CD album. It is on the iTunes store too.
What music influences did your family have?
My father plays piano, he unfortunately passed away last year. He knew how to sing and dance like most Koreans. He worked really hard to make money and take care of us. His working hard in life gives me a great inheritance and asset. I try to work hard to make music and be a good man too.
What is your message to the audience?
Modern life is too stressful. We easily betray friends for small benefit. But if you wait or endure for your friend, he will give you back with great joy. Young people easily break up with their bands. There may be many reasons for this, such as ego, economical reasons or personal matters. Musicians cannot make money easily, it is hard to make a living. When I was young, working for TV and the entertainment business meant the quality of life was really not good. You get money but you lose many other things.
I want to be a role model for young musician who want to make a living. To break Oriental Express with James Kim, Hyunmo Kim and Kyungso means the end of my music career.
Do you have any piece of advice you want to give to aspiring musicians?
Yes, in my fourth album, "No winner, No loser," there are good messages for students. I also recently published "Computer Music for Arrangers," where I explain a lot about Oriental Express music. I feel there must be deep philosophical thinking and musical connection. Winner could be a major scale, loser could be a minor scale. Sometimes a minor scale makes a happy melody and the major scale makes moody melody too. Life is like a "no winner, no loser" melody! But at the end of the tune, it gives you a bright vision and makes people happy to overcome bad feelings. That is the energy that I want to share with people.

Birders from all over are flocking to the Columbia Reservation of the Lorain County Metro Parks after a purple gallinule was spotted there this week.
According to information found online, the purple gallinule normally lives in marshes in Florida, the Caribbean or South and Central America.
The purple gallinule was first spotted on Wednesday, according to birdwatchers at the reservation Friday. They said word about the bird has quickly spread around the birding community.
CT reporter Steve Fogarty met up with a woman from Medina. She had just picked up two friends from Baltimore at the airport, and the trio drove straight to Columbia Reservation in hopes of sightng the bird.
According to Fogarty, spotting the bird isn't hard. It's frequently in sight. Fogarty said the bird had just flown and was "real visible." He said birders told him it could be seen picking off bugs and even eating a frog.
A number of birders were passing through Columbia Reservation on Friday. Many mentioned a large birding meetup this weekend at Magee Marsh, west of Port Clinton, and said many of those birders would undoubtedly be stopping by to see the purple gallinule.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Playing on Easter Sunday, the Mississippi State women's golf team produced the third-best final round of any team at the Southeastern Conference Championship, while Ally McDonald clinched a top-15 finish.
With a 36-hole score of 621 entering the third round, MSU carded an 8-over-par 296 for its final round to move up two spots in the final standings at Greystone Golf & Country Club. The Bulldogs Sunday round was a mere 25-strokes less than their opening round on Friday.
"I'm proud of the resolve our student-athletes showed to get back to the play we are used to," MSU head coach Ginger Brown-Lemm said. "Our play today was inspirational. We were committed to getting a few shots back and finishing as high as possible. We learned some hard lessons from that first day and used them today."
Entering the day with a share of 24th, McDonald posted her best round of the tournament with an 1-over-par 73 to move into a tie for 14th at 8-over-par 224 for the event. McDonald notched back-to-back birdies on holes 1 and 2 and then a third on the seventh hole to secure her eighth top-25 scorecard of the season.
Senior Mary Langdon Gallagher turned in the lowest round of any Bulldog on the weekend with an even-par 72 round on Sunday. The four-time SEC Championship participant bounced back from consecutive bogeys on her last two holes on her front-nine with two birdies and seven pars on her last nine holes to complete a nine-shot-turnaround from her first to final rounds.
"Im so excited for Mary Langdon and proud of her critical contribution to this program over the last four years," Brown-Lemm said. "Now we await our assignment for NCAA Regionals."
Rica Tse and Jessica Peng each notched 4-over-par 76 rounds on Sunday as they both ended the tournament with final scores of 232. Rounding out the Maroon and White lineup was Ji Eun Baik who shot her lowest score in Birmingham with a 3-over-par 75 in her final round.
No. 13 Vanderbilt held on to its lead going into the final round to win the SEC Championship at 15-over-par 879. The Commodores were led by individual champion Simin Feng, who finished with a 7-under-par 209 tournament score.
Brown-Lemm's squad will know wait to hear its fate on which NCAA Regionals the Bulldogs will be attending on May 8-10. MSU was selected to the NCAA Central Regional in Norman, Okla. last season, where Ally McDonald won the individual title and MSU finished third to secure its first ever appearance in the NCAA Championships.
Updates will be provided on the Mississippi State women's golf Twitter account, @HailStateWG, and Facebook page, facebook.com/HailStateWG.

OK, so finally we have the big headlines we've been waiting for now that the Dow Jones Industrial Average has hit a new record high.
Great … does that mean we get back to business as usual?
The record is meaningless for a host of reasons, but mostly because it is a distraction to most investors that should be plotting a long-term strategy for a long-term bull market run.
Stay the Course
I like to riff on the original sin of trading too much (here and here, for instance). It's a fault that all traders must guard against — even those who are the very best in the game. Unfortunately, there is no time more tempting to go all or nothing than at a perceived inflection point.
When markets are setting new highs or lows, it's easy to overthink things, take your eye off retirement and follow the headline-driven hype peppering the blogosphere. Instead, you shouldn't forget these simple truths of investing:
- Averaging In Reduces Volatility: Want to avoid buying too much at a top or selling too much at a bottom? Then keep buying the market slowly over time instead of timing it, and enjoy a smoother ride in stocks.
- Passive Indexing Works: There are countless reports that show active fund managers regularly underperform the major stock market indexes — and active management costs you more in fees to boot.
- Buy-and-Hold Works Long-Term: There are always short periods of time when a certain strategy looks foolish and another looks to be bulletproof. But unless you are on the verge of retirement, your best course of action is to stick to a disciplined buy-and-hold strategy rather than chase fads.
There are those who will claim these ideas are quaint and ineffective — that they are smart enough to pick the right stocks at the right time and actively manage their own portfolio to outperformance. They may even have a few years of impressive returns to back it up. But keep in mind this kind of success is rare and does not reflect the experience of most investors.
There are also those who will argue that this time is different — that the bull or bear case is more compelling than ever before. Well, as Sir John Templeton said, "The four most dangerous words in investing are: This time is different."
Stick with a disciplined strategy that involves averaging in and hanging tough for the long term … epecially if you're a young investor or one looking for the right time to get into this market.
Bull or Bear?
For the record, I do believe that we have upside from here and that the rally is sustainable. But that's academic, because you can find enough "experts" on either side of the market to support any strategy.
Here's the bull side in a nutshell:
- New highs prove the recovery is sustainable and strong. The fact that so many issues are at new highs but have historically attractive P/E ratios shows stocks are at worst fairly valued and maybe ready for another leg up.
- Positive momentum will continue as the Dow's new high goes mainstream to consumers and retail investors, fueling spending via the wealth effect.
- The worst is behind us and uncertainty is priced in. If we can rally right after the sequester and Italy vote (not to mention another lackluster earnings season), then the sky is the limit.
- Insert a laundry list of other forces here including the Great Rotation from bonds to stocks, massive stock buybacks and M&A activity and the like.
And here's the bear side in a nutshell:
- New highs are a painful sign that the top is in. Investing now is foolish — a classic "buy high, sell low" move that most investors make.
- Certain corporations are rich, sure, but they aren't spending anything so the economy is doomed to languish. Unemployment remains persistently high, consumers took a hit with the payroll tax increase and corporations remain tight with enterprise spending.
- Have we learned nothing since 2008 about tail risk? This market is irrational and hasn't priced in real global economic challenges … and it will be painful when it does.
- Insert laundry list of other forces here including cooling China manufacturing, signs of distress in U.S. housing, European recession and the like.
The question of whether we are going up or down in the short term is clearly a difficult one to answer, and I'm reluctant to place a bet.
But long term, the recovery continues slowly and the vast majority of economists and stock market watchers think that 2014 will be better than 2013 and that 2015 will be even better than that. So unless you plan on punching out in the next 18 months … well, the volatility is largely academic.
You can try to outsmart everyone, including cold-blooded hedge fund computers and find some miraculous "inefficiency" in a stock or the broader market.
Or you can keep your eye on the long term and not sweat it, resulting in less stress and likely bigger profits.
