In the early 1980s - dark times for quality rock - Kristin Hersh was a central figure in the direction the genre would take.
She was a key link between 1970s idols such as Patti Smith and Debbie Harry and the indie rock chicks to emerge in the late 1980s - Kim Deal, Kim Gordon and P. J. Harvey. Without Hersh and her contemporaries, we might not have Cat Power, Shirley Manson, St Vincent or even Grimes.
In 1980, when Hersh was just 14, she and her stepsister, Tanya Donelly (later of the Breeders and Belly), formed their own band, Throwing Muses, at high school in Newport, Rhode Island.
They developed a cult status with their self-released post-punk guitar music on college radio, and British record label 4AD signed them in 1986. The band's songs and growing popularity among those eschewing so-called "cock-rock" convinced the label to switch its gaze to American bands. The indie label went on to sign the Pixies and the Breeders, and later the National. The Pixies, cited by Kurt Cobain as a major influence, got their start supporting Throwing Muses.
Despite their influence, Throwing Muses were never commercially successful, something that continues to affect Hersh. Asked when she might bring her band Down Under, she laughs. "When someone buys us plane tickets. I think integrity and poverty go hand in hand."
However, Hersh is coming to New Zealand with her solo show An Evening With Kristin Hersh, which will be enough for her devoted coterie of fans, even though Donelly (who left the Muses in 1991) won't be joining her.
Throwing Muses' latest album, 2013's Purgatory/Paradise, shows that at 47 Hersh has lost none of her extraordinary talent for songs that are at once tough and remarkably tender.
Her lyrics can be dizzying, even frightening, but her songs are delivered with joy: rich melodic hooks and waifish vocals. Fussy hipster bible Pitchfork, which slammed the Pixies' 2014 comeback album, gave Purgatory/Paradise 8/10, calling it "gorgeous". Sunray Venus, Freesia and Morning Birds 2 are three standout tracks on an album of 32 sharp and beautiful folk-tinged rock songs.
How does Hersh do it? It's well known she is eccentric. She has battled mental illness for decades and considers herself a "vessel" for music, "receiving" songs rather than writing them.
But speaking on the phone between errands ("I'm buying dead mice for my son's 12 snakes"), she goes further.
She describes how a radical treatment - Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing - has cured the effects of an incident that changed her life when she was knocked off her bicycle by a car at 16. "That was the first time I remember or I noticed that I was hearing songs that were separate from me," she remembers.
She says she has no creative process - at least, not one most musicians could relate to. "The songs [I write] just are, that's all I know. I can only liken it to children. I didn't invent my [four] children, they just are ...
"I've never been able to control [the songs]. If I tried to, they would have been stunted or perverted somehow."
But there have been big changes in the past year: "First I was diagnosed as schizophrenic and then they changed it to bipolar, and I never really bought that. For years I was told I was bipolar but I wasn't. I actually suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder. And when that was treated last year, it revealed dissociative disorder, which means another personality.
"That personality was music, which is why I have no memory of having written or performed any of my songs, ever."
She says for 31 years, a separate personality created and played all her music. Her "bizarre" treatment, which involved psychotherapy with controlled eye movements, worked.
Now, she says, she is able to "be present the whole time and it's a different experience. It's not any flatter, it's just more absorbing and safer. [Making music] used to be a cliff dive into oblivion for me."
Hersh has dubbed her other personality "Rat Girl", the title of her 2010 book. She is now confident "there's nothing actually psychologically or biochemically wrong with me. PTSD can befall anybody and to separate into a traumatic personality is not that uncommon. But it was a relief to find I don't have to look for it in my children".
She resists any suggestion her condition somehow helped her and rejects the romantic idea that people with mental illnesses have artistic super-powers.
"I don't want to think that blurred vision is clarity in any way; that sickness is health. And yet it could be in our categorisation of seeing, our definition of what is broken, that is the problem."
As for celebrities using unhinged behaviour to make themselves seem more interesting: "Rock stars I know that pretend to be 'a little crazy' so we think they are 'artists' are just liars. It's a sick thing to lie about. It's not compassionate, I suppose."
Hersh is a person of intellectual acuity and clarity. Take her view on the artist-audience exchange. "Enthusiastic listeners", as Hersh calls them, often have trouble understanding a musician's way of expressing the world. "They can have a hard time shutting down their brain and letting their viscera accept the impact of music. Lyrics are sensory words, colours ... they're not communication; it's like painting. It's a different way to experience our sociability."
The Words & Music tour, in which Hersh plays a song then reads a passage or recites an anecdote, provides a rare forum for fans.
"It's the closest I can come to letting them step inside the bubble of a song with me," she says.
Letting fans in is not easy for Hersh; she has long been torn between the desire to reach people and the problem of appealing to them.
She firmly believes that when you try to appeal to people, you dilute the clarity of your vision: "It waters down output to have an ear to the marketability of your product. Even if it's just in production or publicity, some cancerous element is going to creep in and ruin what you do.
"As a shy person I'd like to think that I could sit on the roof and play to the stars and that it would count," she says. "But I haven't found that to be true."
And yet she wants to tell stories that appeal as widely as possible. "I don't like songs to be [just] self-expression. Even though I've lived the story I prefer to go beneath the story to find some kind of bones that we find universal, otherwise I would be [only] speaking to my demographic and that would be so awful."
She credits audiences with "working harder than musicians" at gigs. "The listeners do a huge amount of work. Beyond getting out of work and skipping dinner and paying five bucks for warm beer and standing in a club, they do this work that is all about taking someone else's ride and trusting it."
Hersh's ride has never been further from the mainstream - and she was never close to it to begin with, despite helping create the alternative rock movement that mushroomed in the early 1990s.
In the mid-'90s she bargained her way out of a contract with Warner Music and went independent. In 2008, a handful of artists and Hersh's ex-husband Billy O'Connell created CASH Music, a kickstarter-funded, non-profit web platform allowing artists and small labels to share and promote music with fans. It allowed Hersh to self-fund her music.
"We opted out of [the] recording industry because we disagreed with it and we felt morally bound to no longer participate. So we did that 'climbing up on the roof and playing to the stars' thing.
"When we became listener-supported we could record and release music without participating in the industry, not that we were ever good at playing the game. Purgatory/Paradise was the first record we ever made that we were completely happy with.
"As much as we wanted to dance on [the music industry's] grave, we were going to be the first foot soldiers to fall, and I watched some of the best musicians in the world starve and die. It's an ugly war, like all wars."
For someone so tough on the music industry, it is a surprise to hear her say today's ultra-commercialised pop culture is a dramatic improvement on the 1970s and 1980s.
"It was more insidious when we were growing up," Hersh says. "It's so dissipated [today] that you choose not only your genre, your decade, if you want to go exploring, and you choose your subcultures much more easily now.
"Shelf space and payola does not determine what we listen to any longer, all that went into fooling us to thinking we were bandwagoning with everybody else.
"We have our own little villages again, even though they are spread out globally. I'm so attracted to that, I have to say. It finally happened, it finally blew apart!"

Juneau's weather pattern this week will help Eaglecrest open the Black Bear and Hooter chair lifts on Friday as well as Porcupine chair.
Until this week, most of Juneau's snowfall has been cold and dry, which does not pack into a base. But in recent days warmer temperatures have brought wetter snow, filling in some areas, says Snow Sports School Director Jeffra Clough.
"There's some challenging snow conditions… be very minimal grooming this weekend, just because we don't have a lot of snow cover yet."
The city-owned ski area opened the lower mountain beginners' trails, accessed by Porcupine lift, on December 1st. Last Sunday, Hooter opened. Clough says the plan for this weekend is to operate Porcupine, Hooter and Black Bear chairs Friday through Sunday.
"There's some awesome terrain off that Black Bear chairlift, like East Bowl Chutes, and some more intermediate terrain. It's not going to be for beginners though."
The season is still early and hazards exist all over the mountain. The west side of the mountain that's accessed by the Ptarmigan lift will remain closed this weekend.

Ironically, the Obama Administration and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in particular are the primary beneficiaries of Wikileaks' release of 250,000 US diplomatic cables. Certainly, this was not Wikileaks intention but that is the effect.
The cables reveal a State Department operating near top form and clearly in the best interests of the American people. Leaders in Israel, Saudi Arabia and other Mid-East nations, we learned, have repeatedly urged the U.S. to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities. Apparently, those countries failed to learn one of the major lessons of the Iraq war, namely that starting a war is easy, but stopping one can be a long, deadly and costly process.
Secretary Clinton clearly understands that those urging war will not be doing the fighting, paying and dying. Instead, she has created alliances that are pressuring Iran through various means. Interestingly, even as she negotiates, someone has been sabotaging Iran's centrifuges and killing its senior nuclear arms makers.
We also learned that although Turkish leaders seem to hate the Israelis, the U.S. has forged a working relationship with the two nations.
Quietly but successfully, our diplomats have been removing prisoners from the Guantanamo Bay military prison and placing them in countries that will not automatically imprison or kill them.
As the cables also reveal, U.S. relations with Europe have been vastly improved since the end of the Bush Administration. Who would have imagined five years ago that France would have a charismatic leader who was not only an admirer of the United States, but who even vacations here with his famous wife?
Under Secretary Clinton's leadership, China is now involved in efforts to control the unpredictable government of North Korea. In the most recent crisis, the bombing of a South Korean island, China took the initiative in calling for a six-power conference.
Diplomacy is about politics and politics is ultimately about understanding other cultures and people. From these cables, we get a sense that our diplomatic personnel are very good at that and understand the countries where they are stationed. I particularly loved the comments about how a big, blond Ukrainian "nurse" always accompanies Libya's leader. Who could have guessed that he was in such bad health?
While some of the cables contain a subtle maliciousness when describing some foreign leaders, the cattiness is nothing compared to what happens in U.S. elections and on our cable news shows. Who could have imagined that so many foreign leaders are so delicate and sensitive?
There is much about U.S. foreign policy and its implementation to despise, and I do. But the point is that the leaked cables reveal a corps of diplomats operating sensibly and most often in the best interests of our country. It reveals a Secretary of State who is working hard, effectively, and who is in control of U.S. foreign policy and the State Department, something no one could say about her immediate predecessors.
Indeed, if Mrs. Clinton performs as well in the next two years as she has in the prior two, she will be the most effective Secretary of State of our era.

Stars Caught in Embarrassing Moments (Part II)
November 5, 2010 (3:20 am) GMT
Mariah Carey and Alicia Keys took a tumble onstage when they were both pregnant while Tila Tequila and Guns N' Roses were pelted by crowd during their performances.
In the second part of the "Embarrassing Moments" list, the focus is shifted to stage acts. Things can get quite embarrassing for performers during their shows. And perhaps, the most humiliating situation that can happen to performers is falling onstage, in front of fans and media covering their performances.
Mariah Carey left her fans in worry after falling in the middle of her performance while she was carrying her first child. Meanwhile, Tila Tequila nursed a bruised ego after audiences of a festival where she performed showered her with bottles and stone rocks.

This article introduces the concepts of Component Oriented Development and Assembly (CODA) using the OSGi Service platform with an example application. The article starts with an introduction to software components, elaborates with an example application, followed by an overview of the OSGi Service platform, and an implementation of the example application using this platform.
Introduction to Software Components
Components are parts that can be assembled to form a larger system. Electronic components such as ICs (Integrated Circuits) are assembled together to build an electronic system; similarly software components are assembled together to build a software system. Software systems have a static form as well as a dynamic runtime form. Software components can be assembled either in static form or dynamic form. In either case, the software component is an independent unit of development, deployment, and assembly. Using components to build software systems will provide many architectural advantages apart from promoting ease of reuse.
Age Calculation - An Example Application
Consider an application meant for calculating the age of people. Assume this application prompts the user to provide her personal details such as name and date of birth. Once the user provides the details, the application calculates the age of the person as of today and displays it with a personal greeting. Such an application can be built from the following software components:
- UserProfile Component: Responsible for collecting the personal details of the user such as name and date of birth
- Age Component: Responsible for calculating the age, given the date of birth
- Greeting Component: Responsible for displaying the greeting message along with age of the person; needs to make use of the UserProfile component to obtain input from the user and Age component to calculate the age
- AgeCalculationApp Component: Responsible for invoking the Greeting service provided by Greeting component
The components can be represented in a UML component diagram as shown in Figure 1. The dotted arrow lines in the diagram denote dependency.

A software interface is a collection of software operations. Software components interact with one another by invoking the software operations. To facilitate structured interactions across components, each component exposes one or more software interfaces through which other components can interact. The exposed interfaces of a component are called as its "provided interfaces." Internals of the component implement the service contracts exposed by the provided interfaces.
Apart from providing services, a component needs to consume services provided by other components. The set of services that a component wants to consume is specified through "required interfaces". A component can work with any other component that provides the required interfaces. Hence there is no tight coupling between one component and another; the dependency of a component is only with interfaces and not with other components.
Interfaces in the Age Calculation Application
Let us identify the interfaces provided and required by each of the four components in the Age Calculation application.
Age Component
The Age component is responsible for calculating the age, given the date of birth. Hence it needs to provide a service for calculating the age. Let's expose this service through a provided interface IAgeCalculation. The Java code for this interface is given in Figure 2.
Figure 2: AgeCalculation Java interface code
In the IAgeCalculation interface definition, Calendar is a data type defined in java.util package to represent the date. IAge is a custom-defined data type to hold the age. The Java code for IAge is shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3: Java code for data type IAge
The Age Component can be represented in a UML component diagram as shown in Figure 4. The lollipop connector from the component denotes provided interface.
Figure 4: UML representation of Age component
UserProfile Component
The UserProfile component is responsible for collecting the personal information from end user and passing it back to the consuming component. Let us define an interface called as IUserProfileCollection to expose this service. The Java code for this interface is shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5: Java code for IUserProfileCollection interface
When the method collectUserProfile() is called, the component starts an interactive session with the end user to collect her personal information. During the user interaction session, the method isProfileCollected() will return false; after the user interaction session has finished and the user profile has been collected, this method will return true. At this time, the user profile is ready for pick-up by the consuming component and it can do so by invoking giveUserProfile() method.
giveUserProfile() method returns the user profile information through a custom defined data type IUserProfile. Java code for IUserProfile data type is given in Figure 6.
Figure 6: Java code for IUserProfile data type
The UserProfile component in a UML component diagram notation is shown in Figure 7.
Figure 7: UML representation of UserProfile component
Greeting Component
The Greeting component is responsible for displaying the greeting message along with the age. We'll expose this service through the IGreeting interface. The Java code for IGreeting interface is shown in Figure 8.
Figure 8: Java code for interface IGreeting
The Greeting component provides the IGreeting service, and it requires the IAgeCalculation and IUserProfileCollection services. The required and provided interfaces of the Greeting component can be represented using the UML component diagram as shown in Figure 9. The receptacle sockets in the component diagram denote required interfaces.
Figure 9: UML representation of Greeting component
AgeCalculationApp Component
The AgeCalculationApp component is responsible for invoking the IGreeting service of Greeting component. The AgeCalculationApp itself does not provide any service. The UML diagram for this component is shown in Figure 10.
Figure 10: UML representation of AgeCalculationApp
Application Assembly
Components are assembled together to build a software system. Components for an assembly should be chosen such a way that, amongst the chosen components the set of required interfaces is fulfilled by the set of provided interfaces. The four components of the example application can be assembled to result in Age Calculation application. UML component diagram denoting this assembly is shown in Figure 11. Connectors with a lollipop and a receptacle together show how two components assemble over a common interface (one component provides the interface and another component requires it).
Figure 11: UML representation of Age Calculation application assembly
Once an application is assembled, specific components from the assembly can be replaced with compatible newer components. Let us say we have two new components - GUIUserProfile and GUIGreeting, which have same interfaces as UserProfile and Greeting components, respectively. Then these new components can replace the old components to provide us with a GUI application. The application assembly would then look like Figure 12.
Figure 12: Age Calculation GUI Application Assembly
Introduction to the OSGi Service Platform
OSGi Service is a standards based software development platform. The platform standards are specified by the OSGi Alliance (http://www.osgi.org), formerly known as the Open Services Gateway initiative. OSGi alliance is an industry backed nonprofit organization.
OSGi platform provides a modularity and component model on top of Java. Figure 13 illustrates how OSGi logically fits in a development / deployment stack.
Figure 13: OSGi From Development / Deployment Perspective
OSGi Framework
At the core of the OSGi platform is the OSGi framework defined by standards. OSGi framework is the runtime environment on which OSGi applications can be executed. OSGi framework specifies a common API using which application developers can develop OSGi applications. The OSGi framework specifications is used by OSGi framework developers also, who build implementations of the framework as per the specifications.
There are a number of framework implementations available from different developers. A few well known framework implementations are listed below:
- Apache Felix (http://felix.apache.org)
- Eclipse Equinox (http://www.eclipse.org/equinox)
- Knoplerfish (http://www.knoplerfish.org)
The functionality of OSGi framework is divided into many layers. For our purposes, we shall focus on Modules Layer and Services Layer. Figure 14 illustrates the layers we would like to focus.
The modules layer is the bottom most layer interacting with the runtime framework. The modules layer defines a modularity framework on top of standard Java so that modules expose and interact via well-defined APIs. Individual module is called as a "bundle" in OSGi. OSGi bundle is the atomic unit of deployment on an OSGi framework. An OSGi bundle is nothing but a Java Archive (JAR) File with some special manifest information that would be used by the OSGi framework when the bundle is deployed. Unlike a normal JAR file, which exposes all its code when it is deployed on a Java Virtual Machine (JVM), the bundle does not expose all the code contained within. Only code (Java packages) marked for explicit export is exposed outside the bundle.
Figure 14: OSGi Framework Functional Layers
Above the Module layer is the Services layer. An OSGi Service is defined by a Java interface. Any bundle can implement the service, and register the service with the OSGi Service Registry. OSGi Service Registry, defined as part of framework standards, supports a publish, subscribe, and look-up mechanism of exchanging services across components. A bundle can register the service that it has implemented with the OSGi Service Registry. A bundle requiring a service can query the OSGi Service Registry to look-up any registered service implementation. Instead of looking-up, a bundle can also subscribe to be notified on service registration / unregistration events. These mechanisms make the bundles that provide service and bundles that consume service unaware of each other, leading to independent development and deployment of these components. Once deployed, they can be assembled dynamically using the OSGi Service Registry.
Implementing Age Calculation Using OSGi
The Age Calculation application has one bundle for each of the components. Each bundle has a Java package that is exposed for access from outside and an internal Java package. The exposed package defines the interfaces and the internal package contains implementation classes. The package diagram for all the bundles is shown in Figure 15.
Figure 15: Age Calculation Application bundles
The service provided by each bundle is exposed by using the OSGi Declarative Services framework. Using the same framework, each bundle also specifies the list of services it requires. The OSGi Declarative Services framework (also known as Service Component Runtime), will perform the work of registering the provided service with the OSGi Service Registry and obtaining the required service through look-up into OSGi Service Registry. Thus, the Declarative Services framework provides automatic assembly of deployed components.
As an example, let us consider the Greeting bundle. The Declarative Services specification of the components in this bundle is done through an XML file, which is given in Figure 16.
Figure 16: Greeting component Declarative Service Definition
The XML file contains following metadata about the Greeting component:
- A component by name com.demo.greeting is defined
- The component is implemented by the class com.demo.greeting.internal.Greeting
- The component requires two interfaces - IuserProfileCollection and IAgeCalculation. These required interfaces should be dynamically wired to this component using setUserProfileCollection() and setAgeCalculation() methods on the component implementation class.
- The component provides a service through the provided interface com.demo.greeting.IGreeting.
To understand how the Greeting component works, some portions of the implementation class is presented in Figure 17. The Greeting class has two field variables referring to the services required by this component. In the component Declarative Service metadata setter methods of these two variables are linked to the service reference (required interface). Hence when the Service Component Runtime (SCR) activates this component, it would call the setter methods to point these variables to objects which provide the service. For example, an instance of AgeCalculator object from Age component would be passed to ageCalculation_ member variable.
Figure 17: Implementation of Greeting component
The Greeting class's implementation of greet() method obtains the user profile by invoking IUserProfileCollection service. From the obtained profile, date of birth is extracted and IAgeCalculation service is used to calculate the age. Finally the method displays the age along with a greeting to the user.
Output from the Example Application
The Age Calculation application, with console mode user interaction components, has the following output.
osgi> What is your first name?
What is your last name?
What is your title (Mr./Ms./Mrs./Prof./Dr.)?
What is your year of birth?
What is your month of birth (1-12)?
What is your date of birth (1-31)?
Hello Mr. Albert Einstein, you are 132 years, 10 months, and 3 days old.
If we replace the Greeting and UserProfile components in the application assembly with GUIGreeting and GUIUserProfile components, the application output is as below:
The source code of the application can be downloaded as a zip file containing an Eclipse workspace folder. To open the source code and run the application simply unzip the folder and switch the Eclipse workspace to point to the unzipped folder. Choose the appropriate components in the Run Configuration to run either console version or the GUI version of the assembly. For example, for the GUI version, the following run configuration will be applicable:

Right off the bat, Newman advises that we should "think of microservices as a specific approach for SOA in the same way that XP or Scrum are specific approaches for Agile Software development".

San Tung Restaurant, San Francisco
Posted by Foodnut.com, July 11th, 2016
San Tung and San Tung #2 are a popular Chinese restaurant in the inner Sunset of San Francisco. They serve northern Chinese food that has some Korean influence, as the San Tung region of China is near Korea, hence the free Kim Chee. We have eaten here many, many times, back to when it was located west of here. Our latest visit occurred in February 2016 to San Tung #2, when we noticed prices up a bit.

Good Points
Nice catalogue
Bad Points
Non-existence of staff training, if my experience is anything to go by.
General Comments
I ordered two small items of children's clothing from la redoute - a pack of socks and a pair of Bermuda shorts.
What I received was two parcels, each charging £3.45 postage, when the actual postage, both for sending and returning would have been under £1.00 each way.
I don't want to hear the age old comment that La Redoute has to pay for the items returned, therefore the charge has to be £3.45, as I would willingly do that.
Needless to say, the catalogue has been consigned to the bin, and I sincerely hope I do not get inundated with letters asking me why I am not taking up the fabulous offers!!
I now shop with a mail Order company who's postage is free!

Lego minifigs get dark makeover
Lego minfigs come in all shapes and sizes, and, more recently, have even looked like your favourite film characters, but one thing they haven't ever been is tattooed - until now that is.
Created by advertising agency Grey in Barcelona, for an ad campaign for Pilot's Extra-Fine tipped pens, the pen maker has commissioned the inking to show off what the pen's can do.
While some bloggers are calling fake, suggesting they are actually giant figures rather than the standard sized Lego men, it's still pretty badass.
Let's hope Lego like it enough to release a prison set or biker's edition in time for Christmas.

The use of the in-game models was very interesting and well done, the video itself was also incredibly funny, a couple of scenes had me in stitches, nice job.
i think the animation is impressive the way you managed to take in game models and manage to animate them very good :D
anit bad
the animation sucks ballz but it is still good dude f#$king funny thats all their is man keep it up
Tee hee hee!
I thought that this video was very funny, and in some ways pretty representative of the actual game like the codec beeping every 5 minutes and at the most awkward moments and the innumerable amount of guards that come when your alert level goes up. I thought it got lame after the 'fiesta' started though. Great submission, keep it up!
