Burns Clubs exist throughout the world to encourage and cherish the memory of Robert Burns, to foster a love of his writings and generally to encourage an interest in the Scots Language and Literature.[1] An emphasis on encouraging the young to take an interest in Burns is found in most clubs through poetry, singing and other competitions. Once mainly existing as 'male only' clubs in the mould of the Tarbolton 'Batchelor's Club'[2] most now welcome women as fellow members. Ladies Burns Clubs also exist such as the 'Irvine Lasses' that was established in 1975; it has appointed several male 'Honorary Lasses'.[3]
A number of Burns Clubs hold collections of Burns' manuscripts, artefacts or memorabilia such as the Irvine Burns Club which holds the only surviving holograph manuscripts from the Kilmarnock volume of "Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect" printed and issued by John Wilson, Kilmarnock, on 31 July 1786.[4] Many clubs also have libraries that contain volumes from the many printed works relating to the bard and to Scottish poets, history and culture.
Annual wreath laying ceremonies are held to commemorate personal events such as the birth and death of the poet as well as other significant events in the Bard's life, such as the publication of the Kilmarnock volume.[5]
Many clubs are affiliated to the Burns Federation now known as the Robert Burns World Federation (RBWF) that was formed in 1885 in Kilmarnock[3][6] and local associations also exist such as the Ayrshire Association of Burns Clubs[3] and the Southern Scottish Counties Burns Association.[7] A feature of most Burns Clubs are annual celebration suppers near or on the anniversary of the poet's birthday, 25 January 1759.
Most Burns Clubs have an open membership however some are by invitation, often to lack of space within their premises such as with the Burns Club Atlanta, the Dumfries Burns Howff Club[8] and the Paisley Burns Club.[9] Most clubs are run by a committee with either Presidents or Chairmen as the most senior officials usually serving a one or two year term. Chains of Office are a distinctive feature of Burns Clubs and these may be inscribed with the names of Past Presidents.
Most Burns Clubs use rented facilities for their meetings, however at least four clubs have their own premises, the Irvine Burns Club, the Howff Club of Dumfries,[8] the Paisley Burns Club[9] and the Burns Club of Atlanta.

Most clubs are named after the settlement in which they are located such as cities or areas within cities, towns, etc. A few clubs append a Burns linked term such as Cronies, Howff, Jolly Beggars,[10] etc. The Alamo Burns Club is named after the inn in which its first Burns Supper was held.[11]
The first Burns supper was established in around 1801 and within ten years many annual celebrations of the bard's life and works were taking place to the extent that the Reverend William Peebles, a target of Burns' wit, felt compelled to publish a poetical work entitled "Burnomania: the celebrity of Robert Burns considered in a Discourse addressed to all real Christians of every Denomination".[12] By 2004 the Robert Burns World Federation alone had 400 clubs affiliated to it and these reflected a membership of approximately 60,000.[12]
The Greenock Burns Club is the 'Mother Club', the Dalry Burns Club claims the longest, continuous record of anniversary dinners, and the Irvine Burns Club has an unbroken history dating back to its formation on 2 June 1826. Of the twelve founding members of the Irvine Burns Club, five were known to Robert Burns, two of whom were close friends of the poet. The Paisley Burns Club of 1805 was the world's first formally constituted Burns Club however it went into abeyance from 1836 to 1874.[13][14]
Although the Burns Club of London is recorded as No.1 on the Robert Burns World Federation list the Kilmarnock Burns Club was recorded as first on the register as '0'.[15]
Alexandria Burns Club[edit]
The Alexandria Burns' Club was formed in 1884, and was federated in 1885 as No. 2 in the Federation list. Its first officials were Messrs Duncan Campbell, president; William Carlile, treasurer; and Alexander Bryan, secretary. Monthly meetings have been held regularly since the formation of the club.[16]
Burns Club of Atlanta[edit]
Officially organized in 1896, this Burns Club is a private social club and literary and cultural society commemorating the works of Robert Burns. The club holds monthly meetings and an annual Burns Supper celebration on the anniversary of Burns' birthday every year since 1898. Events are held in the Atlanta Burns Cottage, which is a replica, apart from the thatched roof, of poet Robert Burns' birthplace in Alloway, built in 1909.
Dalry Burns Club[edit]
Dalry Burns Club, established in 1825 at Montgomerie's Inn in Courthill Street,[17] now the 'Turf Inn', claims that it has the longest, continuous record of Burns suppers. Other Burns Clubs were established at a much earlier date, but this club claims that none can match Dalry's unbroken record of annual celebration of the life and works of Robert Burns. The club is however 'Number 35' on the role of the Robert Burns World Federation.[18]
United Burns Club of Dunfermline[edit]
The 'Haggis Club' first Burns Club in Dunfermline, formed on 25 January 1812 and continuing until 1820. The Dunfermline Burns Club came into existence on 26 January 1820 and then in 1847 the club joined with the Junior Haggis Club to become the United Burns Club of Dunfermline.[19]
Greenock Burns Club[edit]
The first Burns Club, sometimes referred to as 'The Mother Club', was inaugurated in Greenock on 21 July 1801 on the 5th Anniversary of the Bard's death[20] and the club is said to have held their and therefore the first Burns supper on 29 January 1802 in Alloway,[12] but in 1803 it was discovered from the Ayr Parish records that James Currie had made a mistake and the correct date of birth was 25 January 1759.[1][20] The club had several members who knew Burns, such as Alexander Dalziel, factor to the Earl of Glencairn at Finlaystone, Richard Brown, Burns friend from Irvine and James Findlay, a gauger (excise) in Greenock who was married to one of the Mauchline Belles, Jean Markland.[20]
Burns Howff Club of Dumfries[edit]
This club was formed in 1889 and joined the Robert Burns World Federation in 1899 as 'Number 112'. Meeting in the Globe Inn at Dumfries and named thus because this was Robert Burns' favourite Dumfries 'Howff' or pub.[21] The Club has had four active Club members as Federation President and these have been M. Henry McKerrow (1937-1943), H. George McKerrow (1961), Provost Ernest Robertson (1974) and Albert Finlayson (1978).[22] The club membership is restricted to 120 as its club room within the Globe Inn has restricted space. An extensive library of books relating to Burns and his contemporaries is also located at the Globe Inn and a number of Burns memorabilia and artefacts.[8]
Irvine Burns Club[edit]
The Irvine Burns Club, originally formed in the Milne's Inn (now The Crown Inn) is now based in Wellwood House, Eglinton Street, and has an unbroken history dating back to 2 June 1826. The club had twelve founding members of whom five were known to Robert Burns, and two were once his close friends. The original minute of the meeting reads:
"The subscribers agree hereby to form, and do now form ourselves into a Committee for the purpose of establishing a Club, or Society for Commemorating the birth of Robert Burns the Ayrshire Poet - and we agree to meet at an early day to get the preliminaries of the Club properly arranged."
The document is signed by John Mackenzie, M.D.; David Sillar, Bailie; William Gillies, Grain Dealer; John Peebles, Convener of Trades; James Johnston, Town Clerk; Robert Wyllie, Harbour Master; John Orr, Merchant; James Allan, Merchant (grocer); Maxwell Dick, Bookseller; William Shields, Senior, Merchant; John Fletcher, Surgeon; and Patrick Blair, Writer.
Dr John Mackenzie, was the first club president. He had been a doctor in Mauchline, attended Burns' dying father at Lochlea in 1784 and married one of the "Mauchline Belles" before moving to Irvine in the capacity of personal physician to the Earl of Eglinton and his family. David Sillar, the first Vice-president, had been a friend of Burns since his teenage years, was a member of the Tarbolton Bachelors Club, became a grocer, and finally an Irvine Council Bailie.[23]
Kilmarnock Number 'O' Burns Club[edit]
This club records that it was instituted in 1808 at the Angel Inn and the first President was D. Campbell of Skerrington. The club had several periods of dormancy from 1814 to 1841, 1844, 1849 to 1855, 1871 to 1877 and during the wars years of 1915 to 1919.[5][24] President Brown of the 'Burns Club of London' helped establish the Robert Burns World Federation in 1885 and acquired the distinction of 'Number 1' for his club, resulting in the Kilmarnock Burns Club having the 'Number 0' appellation conferred upon it at the first minuted meeting at Kilmarnock.[6][25]
Burns Club of London - Number 1[edit]
This club was founded in 1868 by Colin Rae Brown, a native of Greenock and a past President of the Greenock Burns Club. He was a wealthy newspaper proprietor and was closely involved in the establishment of the Robert Burns World Federation based in Kilmarnock and as a result the club acquired the distinction of being 'Number 1' on the Federations list and the Kilmarnock Burns Club responded by acquiring the appellation of 'Number 0'.[6]
Paisley Burns Club[edit]
This club was founded in 1805 and claims to be the world's oldest formally constituted Burns Club. It meets monthly during the winter in the cottage once owned by Robert Tannahill, Paisley's weaver poet and songwriter, founder and first secretary. The club owns its premises, donated to the Paisley Burns Club in 1933. Club membership is still all-male and is limited to 40.[9] The club was in abeyance from 1836 to 1874.[13]
Partick Burns Club[edit]
The Partick Burns Club was instituted in 1885[26] and has met to honour Robert Burns every January since then, with the exception of some years during the First and Second World Wars. The Club was founded by the merchants, trades people and members of the Partick Burgh council and the club Presidents up to 1912 (when Partick was incorporated into greater Glasgow) were almost uniquely the Provosts of the Burgh. Its annual supper normally has an attendance of approx. 130, with ages ranging from nineteen to ninety.
Winnipeg Robert Burns Club[edit]
The Winnipeg Robert Burns Club was founded in 1907[27] and joined the Burns Federation in 1911 as #197 on the rolls and claims to be the "oldest continuously existing federated Burns Club outside the United Kingdom." The Club was founded by a group of workers at the CPR Weston Shops in the west end of the city who had gotten together to hold a Burns Supper in January 1907, and other Scot immigrants,[28] in the autumn of 1907. It erected a statue to Robert Burns, a replica of the George Lawson statue in Ayr, on the grounds of the Manitoba Legislature in 1936. It annually holds its Burns Supper on January 25.
Apart from Burns suppers and involvement with school and club based Burns Competitions for young people clubs have inter-club nights and other social activities such as the Professor Ross Roy Quiz Night held by the Ayrshire Association of Burns Clubs.
Local clubs and the Robert Burns World Federation also help to maintain various Robert Burns linked sites such as the 'Trysting Tree' of Robert Burns's poem The Soldier's Return at Millmannoch and the Highland Mary and Robert Burns Memorial at Failford, both in Ayrshire.
Clubs also raise money for charitable purposes, hold lectures, carry out original research, have ladies or Jean Armour Nights, St Andrew's Nights, Hallowe'en Nights, Annual Excursions[22][30] and take part in specific local events such as the 'Marymass Events' held at Irvine.[31]
Every year the Southern Scottish Counties Burns Association organises a service at the Brow Well to commemorate the death of Robert Burns who died four days after his visit to the Brow Well on 21 July 1796.[7]
The 'Burns Chronicle' first published by the Robert Burns World Federation in 1891[13] acts as a record of club activities and special editions have also been issued for events such as the 2009 'Homecoming'.[32]
Links with the Freemasons[edit]
Robert Burns was initiated in Lodge St. David, Tarbolton in 1781, at the age of 23. Burns was elected "Depute Master" of the Lodge St. James at the age of 25. At a meeting of Lodge St. Andrew in Edinburgh in 1787 Burns was toasted by the Worshipful Grand Master. In February 1787, Burns was made the Poet Laureate of Lodge Canongate Kilwinning No. 2, Edinburgh. Burns was exalted a companion in the Holy Royal Arch Degree in 1787 at St. Ebbe's Lodge, Eyemouth. The companions even agreed to admit Burns without paying the necessary fees. When Burns moved to Dumfries, he joined Lodge St. Andrew in 1788. In 1792, he was elected Senior Warden.[33] A strong link with Freemasonary is a feature of a number of Burns Clubs.[34]

JD Allen: Notes of Change
More than a culmination of studies, or solidifying of artistic maturity, I AM-I AM resonates with the clarity of an artist who has reached a clear turning point. It is no wonder that Allen's latest work has received a flood of critical attention. Far from new to the jazz world, Detroit native Allen has been a stalwart of the New York scene for more than a decade, lending his astute playing and luxuriant tone control to a string of headline jazz names, from Betty Carter to Cindy Blackman. Despite this success, however, Allen found himself struggling with dark timesboth musically and personally. At one point, Allen, living homeless in New York, struggled to stay afloat. By faith, perseverance, and profound dedication to his art, Allen charted a way through and the result reverberates clearly throughout his music.
Allen's story of personal revival and optimism is shared below in the most powerful way possible: his own words.
Chapter Index
Growing Up Detroit
All About Jazz: You grew up in Detroit in the eighties, correct?
J.D. Allen: That's right. I was actually born in the part that is usually called 'blackbottom.' On the East Side of Detroitwhere most of the blacks from Mississippi migrated when they came up North to find work. My grandfather's family came there. I grew up there.
AAJ: What was Detroit like at that time?
JDA: Whoo! Wow, man. You gotta realize that I came up at an age where I saw the residue of the 1967 riots. So I came up thinking that burnt out, abandoned buildings were a natural thing that occurred in everyone's neighborhood in America. When I got older I realized what had happened. A lot of abandoned buildings, a lot of vacant lots. Cool people. Now, looking back, it was a town that was still trying to really recover. When I got older I realized it was trying to recover from the 1967 riots, that Detroit had changed. Most of the money had left Detroit.
AAJ: Did that time period, that time of transition, influence your early development?
JDA: Well, I knew then that I wanted to get the hell out of there! [Laughs.] I was talking to my sister a few days agoI have two other younger sistersand we used to look at pictures of New York in books and my one sister said, "I'm going there 'cause I'm getting out of here" and my other sister said, "I'm going there 'cause I'm getting out of here," and I remember at 19 thinking "I'm going to New York because I like the way the Empire States Building looks." So I had plans back then. I had to get out of there. Not because the people were bad. I don't want to say it was a city of broken dreams, but it was hard to see how you could become something great. Everyone either did something that wasn't cool, or worked for Chrysler.
AAJ: That said, Detroit does have a strong musical character. How did that influence you?
JDA: I realized at an early age, I would say around nine, that my mother had had prospects of becoming a professional singer before she met my father. There were some rumors that she was going to sign with Motown. So [after] I was bornI was the oldestand dad was out of the picture by then, so she had to work. I think she kind of lived through me and my sister. We would sing these old Motown tunes in three part harmony. I realized there was definitely an R&B tradition at the time, that came before me, and I was learning that through my mom. But I couldn't sing! So I picked up an instrument at nine years old and messed around with it until the age of, oh, I guess I got serious about it at 15. I ran into guys like James Carter, and Ali Jackson, and I said "whoa!" this is a whole other side of music going on here. My family members called it progressive music. We didn't call it jazz; we called it progressive music.
The music, man, it was like there was no genre. I would go to a jam session in Detroit at 15 years old and see a cat stand on stage playing like Albert Ayler, and then turn around and play like Dexter Gordon, and then Charlie Parker, and then Junior Walker. It was like all the styles were one. I thought that was jazz until I got to NY. Then I noticed there were more cliques going on. In Detroit, everybody did everything. R&B. You did it all. If you were sincere about it, people dug it. That was jazz for me.
AAJ: That sounds like something that has carried through to your vision of jazz now.
JDA: I'd like to believe that. It's about the intent. The guys I came up with in the trade really appreciated intent. You can tell if someone is sincere about what they are playing, and then it's cool. They're telling their story. That is how it was for me. I was never around guys who were like, "who could play the fastest, who knows the heads to all the bebop tunes." If a cat could tell his story, we were appreciative of that. It was an outlet against that backdrop of fucked up, burnt out buildings.
AAJ: If Detroit were a piece of music, what would it be?
JDA: You know what it would be? "What's Going On?" by Marvin Gaye. That is Detroit! I'm tellin' ya, that record right there is the soundtrack of Detroit. You get a chance to go through Detroit, put that on. He nailed it.
Detroit is a great town, man. I'm really not trying to dog it. The people are beautiful. It still has a lot of southern qualities about it... as long as you respect the other man, he treats you like a brother. The people still get dressed up on Sunday like you would never believe. I do love Detroit.
class="f-right">Return to Index...
Personal Transformation
AAJ: You got started playing professionally by 17, 18 years old. And since then you've spent a long time playing as a sideman in a lot of amazing bands. But recently the tide seems to have turned, with a lot of attention on your trio and yourself as a leader. What accounts for that surge in your career?
JDA: When I took matters into my own hands. Meaning, that I decided to really put into the forefront some of the ideas that I had to play. After being with different people all those yearsit was a university for meit was time to make my own statement. It felt right. I felt mature enough to do it: personally, spiritually, and as far as musically on the horn, I felt confident to my self out there. It's like in the Bible "When I was a child, I spoke like a child, understood like a child, and thought like a child. But now that I am a man, I put childish things away." That's a model for me now.
AAJ: I understand that during those early years, though, you went through some rough spots, musically and personally. What do you think was the lowest point, where you thought, "Man, I'm in trouble." And how did you turn the corner to get out?
JDA: The lowest point. Man, my whole twenties. [Laughs.] But I think everybody says that. Everyone is dancing in the dark in their twenties.
I'm thirty-five now. Thirty-one, thirty-two was my low point. That is when I said "Wow, wait a minute." I started hanging out with the wrong crowd. Not to judge them, but I couldn't take care of business. I was doing unmusical things that were affecting my musicand personal life. Man, to be honest with you, the last resort for me wasI had left NY so many times in my twentiesI decided OK look, I'm going to be in New York, I'm gonna be homeless, but I'm gonna be in New York and still gonna try and achieve what I want to achieve.
At one point I really was homeless. I still practiced everyday, but I was homeless. I dealt with that. I'm grateful for the experience. Just being out there like that, I pulled myself together. I started praying and going to church, reading the Bible; and telling myself positive things to change around my thinking.
That's the difference now. Whenever a negative thought comes, I fight back with something positive. And it seems to work. It really changed me. I've immersed myself in positivity instead of negativity. That can mean drinking, or doing these things that so-called musicians do, which actually has nothing to do with music. Trying to be cool, getting into the "in crowd." It was a big mistake, but I pulled through. And I think I came out of it with a few stories to tell that I am anxious to record.
AAJ: Was there anythingor anyonethat gave you the sign that you needed to make this turn?
JDA: It was either lock myself up in Bellevue or... (Long pause.) Man, I really got low. I didn't see...any light. I think intelligent people are capable of change. If you are a smart person you can change and I like to think that I am a smart person. [Laughs.] I said, "I may be low, but I'm not dumb." My father told me, if you can read, you can do anything. That's the best advice he ever gave me. Man, I read up on positivity. In the Bible. Immersing myself in the other side of life. That really, really made a difference.
At one point, I was selling scarves on the street. On 32nd Street. And I was actually becoming a business man. I was a business man in training. And I said, "Wait a minute, I'm up there selling these scarves, making money, but I could be hustling my own music. The same intensity that I'm out here hustling on the street, I could have the same mentality towards my music, getting it heard, being a leader."
That [whole] experience woke me up to life.

AAJ: I want to turn to your most recent album, I AM-I AM, which seems to express some of that transition. You chose a trio format-with no piano. As a leader and a player, what do you gain from that choice?
JDA: Trio for me has always been an urban sound. It's very urban to me. If you go into an urban neighborhoodI think almost any urban neighborhood in America and I can bet you in Europe as wellwhen you see a young cat, a young brother, and he's blasting that music, the one thing you always here is that damn bass and drums. [Chuckles.] All the time! I feel that thing also. Something about the bass and drums, those beats, it sounds more African to me. More about rhythm. The trio format in jazz lets me be closer to rhythm and change on the fly. For some reason whenever you have a pianist, the minute he hits that chord it is dated. It sounds like you've heard it before. It sounds like Herbie, or bebop. But when you don't hear those chords, especially on the piano, you're able to change and play all types of genres and that is closer to the way I grew up playing. I'm more comfortable with the trio.
AAJ: You've got a tight relationship with your trio mates. Not getting into the technical aspectsdescribing it to non-musicianswhat do you like about their playing?
JDA: I like the fact that we communicate. Meaning, it feels like to me that it's not a guy trying to play a great solo or tear the house down. It's three individuals having a conversation. It's a three way conversation. I inject an idea and Rudy [Royston], the drummeranswers me. And Gregg [August] puts his idea out and we answer him. It's a three ring circus. Really it is. That's how we are. We're working on new music where we can express that even more through group improvisations. You can do that with a trio. I can do that with these guys. I am very fond of them. Man, they'll play for me if it's a five dollar gig, or a five thousand dollar gig. It don't matter to them. I'm very blessed to have met these guys.
AAJ: The album has a real thematic consistency to it. Not necessarily musically, like a suite, but a thread that ties the ten pieces together.
JDA: You are right.... Recently, I've been trying to edit the tunes to tell one story. It's hard to explain! It's better if I talk [through] the record.
"I AM-I AM" is what Moses asked God, "What do I tell your people?" That's 3.14 I believe. And God says, "I am what I am." That is the first tune. The second is "North Star" the brightest star in the sky. Some identify that with God as well. "Hajile" is Elijah backwards. Elijah ascended into the heavens and is supposed to come back. If you take the first tune and apply it [to the album], you can say "I am the North Star, I am Elijah, I am Titus," etc. Titus was the only gentile in the bible to have his own book. Titles are very important to me.
AAJ: They are very provocative philosophically and religiously. It is clear from what you have already said that this is a deliberate choice to guide the listener with the titles, whereas for many the titles sometimes seem irrelevant.
JDA: I know one cat who came up with the title "Milk and Cookies." I kid you not.
AAJ: The titles also identify many figures of leadership and strength. "Titus," also a Roman emperor. "Othello," obviously a figure of strength and suffering. "Ezekiel," who is important to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
JDA: If you wait, actually, after the tenth trackafter "Pagan," there is a ghost tune titled "John Brown."
AAJ: As a package, I AM-I AM opens with a theme very reminiscent of Coltrane's later work. Coltrane's musical journey really paralleled his spiritual journey. Is there a similarity in this album in how it reflects the musical and spiritual journey you have gone through?
JDA: I think his journey and life have influenced a lot of people and I won't lie. He has definitely been an inspiration to me. But his spiritual journey is actually nothing new at all. Bach had a spiritual journey. Just listen to Bach. The cello suites, or any of the arias. It's something more than notes there. Beethoven had a spiritual journey. The great composers and musiciansin Africa, in Indiawe all have a spiritual journey. It's our job to impart some kind of spirit to people. Now, whether that it is good or bad...?
I recognize that I have a place in life to help somebody. Even giving this interview might help someone. Someone might read it that is going through something, and I hope it can give them inspiration just like reading about Coltrane's drug addiction helped me make it out of some situations.
class="f-right">Return to Index...
Political Change
AAJ: Moving outside of the album and music specifically, you mentioned already Detroit going through a transition period. "Change" is a powerful word of the moment right now. What does change mean to you?
JDA: Right now, in the political context, I think it's a moment where black Americans, especially black American men, can finally say, "I have no excuse for not becoming the best that I can be." I feel we are putting to rest the blameand rightfully so sometimesbut the blame of saying I can't do it because the man got me down. I am just so proud of Barak Obama and what he is doing. He is an example of how to [succeed] in the world in a way that includes everyone.
It's amazing what is happening. It's hard to put in words. It is easier to put into music. I am so happy to be living now, because the music and the art that is going to happen now is going to be fucking amazing!
Even five years ago you never would have asked me that question about politics in an article! And I am elated that you asked me that.
AAJ: Do you think Obama really represents a dramatic change for African-Americans?
JDA: I think because of what Obama is doing, it's the first time in this country where we can all say that we are all American. This is the first timeyou can look at an Obama convention and see people of all colors and hues coming together for the common good of everybody... I am so happy. It is good to hear hope in the air.
AAJ: You sound optimistic.
JDA: I am. I am. I can now understand why we went through the seven years of turmoil with the current president we have now. Because out of that has come this hope.
We are seeing history being made. I'll tell you how into it I got, I volunteered. I got on a 25 dollar Chinese bus and rode down to Philadelphia to go door to door to say vote for Obama. And I was so proud to do it because I had my little part in history.
AAJ: Coming back to the album, there are examples there of great leaders. It sounds like you believe we are in a period where we have a great leader.
JDA: I believe so. I feel that we are in that period. It is a period of seriousness. Even in the music. Whereas in the '90s it was about smooth edges and craftsmanship, now people want it to hang out a little more. When you go to a museum and see the African art, the sharp angles the pointed lines. The music is more about that now. It's a radical point in history. There's electricity everywhere and I hope I capture that in my music.
AAJ: There are so many issues that are coming to a head right now.
JDA: It is very radical. Not being political for political's sake, but I think we as musicians can express that and want to express thatand the people are hungry for it.
AAJ: Music has always has always been a part of those kinds of transitional moments in history. You can go through any period of radical change and find that people needed the music and used it as a tool.
JDA: I am sure there is a shift in all art...I am sure there is something going on everywhere because it is in the air. There is something happening, and I want to be a part of that.

Mice have been kept as pets for many centuries. Mice are very friendly animals and make an ideal pet as they are great companions. They are curious, charming pets with a high activity level. Mice are very fragile and should be handled with the utmost of care. Adult supervision is advised when children are caring for your pet mice.
How to Care for Pet Mice
Mouse are very social with members of their own kind. Females will do exceptionally well when put in a group. If males are introduced at a young age, it is more likely that they will get on. It is important not to house males and females together as they are prone to breeding quickly, and with large breeds.
To keep your pet mice healthy and happy, you will need an enclosure that is big enough for them to adequately move around in. You will also need a secure mouse carrier, a couple of food dishes (depending on how many mice you have in their enclosure, drip water bottles, toys, bedding, an exercise wheel, and a hiding space for resting in.
The enclosure also needs to be well-ventilated. A lack

An IBM eServer P690 running at more than 1.3 teraflops is being deployed by the Swiss Centre for Scientific Computing (CSCS) of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH). The institute said the machine will be "devoted to solving key scientific challenges".
Commenting on the power of the new machine Michele Parrinello, director of the CSCS and Professor of Computational Science at ETH Zurich said: "Applications that were beyond the scope of the older generation of computers will now be possible."
The supercomputer uses IBM's POWER4 Gigaprocessor built using IBM's copper and silicon-on-insulator technology. According to IBM this allows it to operate in excess of one gigahertz. IBM said the supercomputer could move data between its Level 2 cache to the processors at over 100Gbytes per second - the equivalent of downloading 20 full-length DVDs in a single second.

New UbuntuForums.org Design On The Way
The Ubuntu website and basically all the official Ubuntu related websites have been upgraded to use the new Ubuntu branding, except for Ubuntuforums.
But that's about to change. Mike Basinger create a blueprint @ Launchpad regarding this matter which has already been accepted, so it looks like we'll be getting a new Ubuntuforums design soon (I'm not sure when).

Mobile phone law gets tougher
Drivers may now be pulled over for most calls, texting
OLYMPIA – Starting this summer, drivers better use a headset if they're talking on their cell phones. And don't even think about texting your friend while cruising down the interstate.
Gov. Chris Gregoire on Friday signed into law a bill that makes it a primary offense to be caught holding a cell phone to your ear while driving, or to be reading, writing or sending text messages.
"This is a public safety issue," Gregoire said just before signing the bill.
The new law upgrades the state's law for both, which had only slapped drivers with an extra fine if they were pulled over for another infraction, such as speeding.
Last year, under current law, more than 1,607 people received tickets for using a cell phone without a headset, said state patrol Sgt. Freddy Williams. More than 230 people were ticketed for texting while driving.
Starting on June 10, police can immediately pull over someone for texting or talking without a headset and give them a $124 ticket.
Washington State Patrol Chief John Batiste said the state would work to educate drivers in the coming months about the impending law, and he said that his officers would probably just give warnings to early lawbreakers before moving to full enforcement.
Batiste said that while he'd prefer drivers not talk on the phone at all, the new law is a step in the right direction.
A ticket won't become part of a driver's record and dialing a phone is not considered text messaging. The new law exempts transit and emergency vehicle personnel, as well as anyone who is text messaging or calling without a headset to report illegal activity or summon emergency help. People who are using a hearing aid or operating a tow truck are also exempt.
It also outlaws any cell phone use – even with a headset – by a driver with a learner's permit or an intermediate license, which is given to drivers under 18 years old.
Washington joins a handful of states – including California, New Jersey and Oregon – in making texting and talking without a headset a primary offense, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. More than a dozen states have passed laws regulating cell phone use by drivers.
Sen. Tracey Eide, D-Federal Way and sponsor of the measure, said that the public has had enough of distracted drivers.
"They want people to get into their cars from point A to point B, and get there safely," she said.

Definition: OPEC stands for The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. It is an organization of twelve oil-producing countries that control 61%of the world's oil exports and hold 80% of the world's proven oil reserves. OPEC's share of oil production declined in 2014 thanks to a 16% increase in U.S. shale oil production. OPEC's share dropped from 44.5% in 2012 to 41.8% in 2014. During this period, oil prices fell from $108.54 in April 2012 to $34.72 in December 2015. OPEC hasn't cut production because it doesn't want to see its market share drop. In fact, on December 4, 2015, it raised its production quota to 31.5 million barrels per day (MBPD). It produces oil more cheaply than its U.S. competition. It intends to tough it out until the shale companies go bankrupt. (Source: "OPEC and Oil: Who's in Charge?" WSJ, December 5, 2015.)

What Does OPEC Do?

OPEC's goal is to manage the world's supply of oil to keep prices stable. It makes sure its members get what they consider a good price for their oil. Since oil is a fairly uniform commodity, most consumers base their buying decisions on nothing other than price.

What's a good price? OPEC has traditionally said it was around $70-$80 per barrel. If prices drop below that target, OPEC members normally agree to restrict supply to send prices higher. Without this agreement, individual oil-exporting countries would wind up increasing the supply to make more national revenue. By competing with each other, they would drive prices even lower. This would stimulate even more global demand, and OPEC countries would run out of their most precious resource that much faster. Instead, OPEC members agree to produce only enough to keep the price high for all members.

Furthermore, when prices are too much higher than $80 a barrel, then other countries have the incentive to drill more expensive oil fields. Sure enough, once oil prices got closer to $100 a barrel, it became cost effective for Canada to explore its shale oil fields. It's also made it profitable for the U.S. to use fracking to open up the Bakken oil fields for production. As a result, non-OPEC supply has increased.

OPEC's second goal is to reduce oil price volatility. That's because, at current prices and rates of production, OPEC countries have enough oil to last 113 years. Furthermore, oil is expensive to produce. For maximum efficiency, oil extraction must run 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In addition, closing facilities could physically damage oil installations and even the fields themselves. Ocean drilling is especially difficult and expensive to shut down. Therefore, it's in OPEC's best interests to keep world prices stable.

For example, in June 2008, oil prices hit an all-time high of $143/barrel. OPEC responded by agreeing to produce a little more oil, which brought prices down. However, the global financial crisis sent oil prices plummeting to $33.73/barrel in December. OPEC responded by reducing the supply, helping prices to again stabilize. A slight modification is usually enough to restore price stability.

OPEC also adjusts the world's oil supply in response to crises and shortages. For example, it replaced the oil lost during the Gulf Crisis in 1990. Several million barrels of oil per day were cut off when Saddam Hussein armies destroyed refineries in Kuwait. OPEC also increased production in 2011 during the crisis in Libya.

The Oil and Energy Ministers from the OPEC members meet twice a year, or more if needed, to coordinate their oil production policies. Each member country abides by an honor system, agreeing to only produce a certain amount. However, if a country winds up producing more, there really is no sanction or penalty. Furthermore, each country is responsible for reporting its own production. Therefore, there is room for "cheating." On the other hand, a country won't go too far over its quota, since it doesn't want to risk being kicked out of OPEC.

Despite its power, OPEC cannot completely control the price of oil. In some countries, additional taxes are imposed on gasoline and other oil-based end products to promote conservation. More importantly, oil prices are actually set by the oil futures market. Much of the oil price is determined by these commodities traders. For more on this, see Why Are Oil Prices So High?

OPEC Members

OPEC currently has twelve active members. Ecuador suspended its membership in 1992, and reactivated it in 2009.

Saudi Arabia is by far the largest producer, contributing nearly one-third of total OPEC oil production. It is really the only member that produces enough alone to materially impact the world's supply. For this reason, it really has more authority and influence than the other countries. Here's a ranking of production by member: (Source: OPEC Annual Statistical Bulletin 2015)

Why Was OPEC Formed?

In 1960, five OPEC countries formed an alliance to regulate the supply, and to some extent, the price of oil. These countries realized they had a non-renewable resource. If they competed with each other, the price of oil would be so low that they would run out sooner than if oil prices were higher.

This first meeting was held September 10-14 1960 in Baghdad, Iraq. The five founding members were Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. OPEC was registered with the UN on November 6, 1962. (Source: OPEC Brief History)

OPEC didn't flex its muscle until the 1973 oil embargo. It was responding to a sudden drop in the U.S. dollar that occurred after President Nixon abandoned the gold standard. As the dollar fell, so did the revenues of oil exporters, since oil contracts are priced in dollars. In response to the embargo, the United States created the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. For more, see Gold Standard History.

Non-OPEC Oil-Producing Countries

Many non-OPEC members also voluntarily adjust their oil production in response to OPEC's decisions. In the 1990s. they learned the hard way that if they increased their own production to take advantage of OPEC's restraints, it resulted in low oil prices, and profits, for everyone. These cooperating non-OPEC members include Mexico, Norway, Oman, and Russia.

Oil shale producers did not learn that lesson. They kept pumping oil, sending prices plummeting in 2014. As a result, many went below their break-even price of around $65 a barrel. OPEC did not step in to lower its production. Instead, it allowed prices to fall to maintain its own market share. That's because the break-even price is much lower for most of its members. It's $7 a barrel for Saudi Arabia, and $13 a barrel for Iraq. (Source: "The Oil Glut: From Dallas to Siberia," WSJ, June 5, 2015). For more on today's oil prices see Oil Price Forecast.
