Enjoy engaging discussions with some of today's most important artists hosted by David Dye of the World Cafe.
James Mercer of The Shins joins host David Dye in the studio. James Mercer started The Shins in New Mexico, but like many other musicians he felt a calling to relocate to Portland, Oregon. The band's first album, Oh, Inverted World, was released on Sub Pop in 2001 and they received a huge boost from the 2004 film Garden State, which featured their music. The Shins have just put out a new disc, Port Of Morrow, five years after their album. James Mercer talks about it and looks back on their earlier work, including their Garden State experience.
Plus, Colin Meloy of The Decemberists and producer Tucker Martine. Both give their take on the music scene in Portland with interviews recorded as a part of our new Sense of Place series.
And Johnny Clegg. He's been called "The White Zulu" for crossing the race divide during Apartheid with his music. His first band Juluka was a collaboration with Zulu musician Sipho Mchunu; they released their debut album in 1979, breaking down barriers and creating much controversy at home in South Africa. After that group broke up in 1985, Clegg went on to create another multi-racial band, called Savuka, which was even more commercially successful. Clegg also helped inspire Paul Simon on his famed Graceland album. Hear what Clegg has to say looking back on his role as a cultural ambassador.
And, Those Darlins'. The country-punk foursome from Tennessee discuss their second album Screws Get Loose, and look at how the Southern Girls Rock and Roll Camp helped bring them together and what they try to pass on to the kids they teach there.
And, Okkervil River. The Austin, Texas, group recently released their 6th album, I Am Very Far. Unlike previous discs, the record is not built around one unifying concept - singer Will Sheff explains what made the songwriting different this time around.
Plus, Dennis Coffey. The Detroit native shaped the sound of Motown in the 70s with his innovative guitar contributions, in particular with the work he did on the Temptations hits "Ball of Confusion" and "Cloud Nine," and through his instrumental smash "Scorpio." He looks back on his career with the release of his first new solo CD in two decades. Hear that and more this week on Conversations from the World Cafe!
Bruce Cockburn, the politically outspoken songwriter is incredibly popular at home in Canada.Over his four decade long career he has put out 31 albums, won 13 Juno awards (the Canadian version of the Grammys), received the Order of Canada, and was inducted into both the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and the Canadian Broadcast Hall of Fame. Here in the United States he has maintained a smaller following despite hits like 1979's "Wondering Where the Lions Are" and 1984's "If I Had a Rocket Launcher." Recently Bruce Cockburn released a new disc called Small Source of Comfort, his first new studio work in 5 years. He'll talk about it, play "Rocket Launcher" live, and share how he came to be holding a rocket launcher in Afghanistan recently.
Plus, Susan Werner. She'll discuss how a musical pilgrimage to the South inspired her new Rodney Crowell-produced album Kicking the Beehive. That's this week on Conversations from the World Cafe!
Producer Steve Lillywhite (U2, Dave Matthews Band, Peter Gabriel) will produce music sessions for the World Cafe at the world-renowned Avatar Studios in New York City.
Steve Lillywhite entered the music scene when he was 17 as a tape operator with London's Polygram Studios and has since been working in the industry for more than 35 years. Lillywhite has produced songs and albums with bands such as U2, Dave Matthews Band, Simple Minds, Peter Gabriel, XTC, The La's, and Morrissey. He has won Grammy Awards for Producer of the Year, Best Rock Album, and Album of the year for U2's How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. Known for his ability to inspire artists, Lillywhite has been instrumental in shaping many career-making albums and songs.
World Cafe host David Dye celebrates St. Patrick's Day with Steve Lillywhite, whose most recent project took him to Dublin producing U2's No Line On The Horizon. With an inside scoop on the definitive Irish rockers' new record, Lillywhite explains how he and co-producers Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois each contributed to the album and gives his personal insight into certain tracks.

The Irish pop-rock band Bell X1 has brought its catchy riffs and smart lyrics to America in recent years, long after it had already become a reliable hitmaker in its homeland. The group was initially led by singer Damien Rice under the moniker Juniper, but Rice left the group and was replaced by vocalist/drummer Paul Noonan.
Bell X1 joins host David Dye for a special World Cafe Lillywhite Session from Avatar Studios. During its visit, the group discusses how the new album marks a departure from its predecessors, with changes in both production and personnel.

An underground favorite since their distorted art pop debuted in 1991, Mercury Rev sees reinvention as the key to their creativity. With the new album, Snowflake Midnight, the psych-rock vets embraced open-source technology, allowing them to experiment with audio effects designed by people across the globe.
In this Lillywhite Session, Mercury Rev talks about discovering the sound for the latest record and the concept of a "Brain Waves Concert."

By the time Vauxhall and I came around in 1994, Morrissey had already wooed the world both in The Smiths and with a few critically-acclaimed solo albums. His fourth solo effort was a bit of a return to the jangly Smiths style, but as Morrissey has proved over and over again since then, he just keeps perfecting it.
Lillywhite gave Vauxhall and I the lush sound for which Morrissey recordings had been begging. In an interview with host David Dye, Lillywhite talks about the creation of the album and ultimately what made Morrissey ask him back for two more.
The Pretenders released their new album called "Break Up The Concrete" on October 7, 2008. It is the ninth in the band's career and their first in 6 years. This time the bandleader Chrissie Hynde is collaborating with a new group of musicians. Recorded in 10 days, the result is a stripped down roots album, pure and raw, which highlights Hynde's timeless vocal sound. In 1978, Hynde formed The Pretenders, originally three Englishmen and an American woman, that emerged as one of the new wave's most commercially successful groups. Its focal point was Chrissie Hynde, the band's songwriter, lead singer, and rhythm guitarist, whose tough songs and stage persona put feminist self-assertion into her own distinctive hard rock. Their self-titled debut album was released in early 1980 and eventually climbed to number one in the U.K., achieving wide success in America as well. Although the long waits between LPs have dulled her group's once shining commercial career, Hynde remains an influential performer and songwriter. Hynde is also an outspoken crusader for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. The Pretenders were creative with the release of their new album Break Up the Concrete, and decided to give away every track as free downloads, one song each week leading up to the record's physical release, thus creating a buzz of anticipation that no Pretenders album has had in over a decade. The album marks a reunion with producer Steve Lillywhite.

Big Country was a Scottish rock band who reached their critical and commercial peak in the mid 1980s, though they continued releasing music throughout the 1990s to a devoted following. The band was noted for mixing their Scottish roots into their music and also for their unique guitar sounds. The band is best known for their lone US hit, 1983's "In a Big Country", but the album that song is drawn from, the Steve Lillywhite-produced The Crossing, is considered a great forgotten album of the 1980s.
In this interview, Steve Lillywhite discusses the recording of The Crossing.
The Strokes' rhythm guitarist, Albert Hammond Jr., recently joined World Cafe host David Dye for a Lillywhite Session recorded at Avatar Studios in New York City. Here, Hammond and his band perform four songs from his second studio effort, Como Te Llama?, with the help of famed producer Steve Lillywhite.
Hammond still keeps his day job in The Strokes, but two years ago took on the role of frontman, which he says took time to get used to. His music retains the guitar-driven style of his main band, but also incorporates Hammond's tender, bluesy vocals.

The La's only recorded one album, but the self-titled disc from 1990 features one infectious guitar-pop gem after another, including the classic, oft-covered hit "There She Goes." The group's main songwriter, Lee Mavers, notoriously fired multiple band members and producers because, according to Mavers, none of them got it. Steve Lillywhite came into the process later in the game, after The La's record label convinced him to finish the album. In an interview with David Dye, Lillywhite talks about the classic disc that Mavers never wanted released.
Doveman, the brainchild of Harlem-based keyboard maestro Thomas Bartlett, has just released a front-to-back cover of the Footloose soundtrack. While Doveman is normally a one-man act, Bartlett gets the multi-track treatment with Steve Lillywhite behind the boards at Avatar Studios for a unique Lillywhite Session.
Doveman's sophomore effort is a tribute to a friend who died at the height of the film's popularity. With Bartlett's understated delivery and beautiful piano work, he's crafted a heartfelt homage to the joys of youth. Stripped of those pop-infused dance tracks, the music has unexpected emotional depth.

On Peter Gabriel's third self-titled album, producer Steve Lillywhite made sense of the disparate elements that the sometimes-great second album could not. The 1980 release showcased a more song-oriented Gabriel, but also a bleak side of the former Genesis frontman.
In an interview with host David Dye, Lillywhite recalls laughing off the idea of recording an album with Gabriel, but both quickly found common ground in its musical direction. Music technology was moving quickly by 1980, and both men wanted to implement the new keyboard and sampling devices. While Gabriel would go on to make even better-selling albums, Peter Gabriel remains his finest moment.
Dr. Dog formed in 1999 in Philadelphia. Opening for My Morning Jacket in 2004 led to the beginnings of a commercial breakthrough - opening for other acts such as The Strokes and The Raconteurs. The group's fan base continued to grow with the EP Takers and Leavers and full-length debut We All Belong. Now they are headlining their own US tour for their newest album Fate.

Crash is the second studio album released by the Dave Matthews Band in 1996. It has been certified 7 times platinum. Steve Lillywhite produced 3 albums the Dave Matthews Band released - Under the Table and Dreaming, Crash, and Before These Crowded Streets. Steve also produced an album for the band that was never officially released, The Lillywhite Sessions. Steve talks about working with the band for the second time and how he wanted to amp up their sound for this album.
With a sound combining the baroque psychedelic pop of the '60s, sacred harp singing, gospel, and folk music, Fleet Foxes joins host David Dye for the latest in World Cafe's Lillywhite Sessions series from Avatar Recording Studios in New York City. The band's members grew up on the music of their parents: The Beach Boys, Simon & Garfunkel, The Zombies, Love, and Crosby Stills & Nash.
Robin Pecknold and Skye Skyelset are backed by some of Seattle's best musicians, including past and present members of bands such as Pedro the Lion, Seldom, and Crystal Skulls. Through the support of friends, families, and credit cards, material for both the Sun Giant EP and Fleet Foxes' self-titled debut were recorded. Both showcase an inventive, unfailingly sweet sound that spans genres and eras.

Bath, England's singer-composer-keyboardist Allison Goldfrapp began exploring music as a part of her studies as a Fine Art Painting major at Middlesex University, mixing sound, visuals, and performances in her installation pieces. While she was still in college, she appeared on her friend Tricky's 1995 debut Maxinquaye, which led to appearances on albums from other cutting-edge electronic artists, including Orbital's Snivilisation and Add N to X's Avant Hard. By the late '90s, Goldfrapp began honing her own compositions; one of her friends passed some of her demos on to composer Will Gregory. Finding much in common in their musical tastes and approaches, the duo took Allison's surname as the name for their collaboration. After signing to Mute in 1999, Goldfrapp delivered their debut album, Felt Mountain, in fall 2000. Felt Mountain went on to nearly universal acclaim and spawned several singles, including the Utopia Genetically Enriched EP, which arrived in early 2001. After spending most of that year touring, Goldfrapp spent most of 2002 recording and returned with Black Cherry in spring 2003. 2005 saw the release of the "Ooh La La" single and the full-length Supernature, both of which continued the disco and glam-rock influences of the duo's previous album. 2008's The Seventh Tree moved in a calmer, more acoustic-based, but just as sonically lush direction.

Steve explains how he got the job following Elvis Costello's footsteps - producing the next The Pogues' album If I Should Fall from Grace with God and their hit duet "Fairytale of New York" with Lillywhite's then-wife Kirsty MacColl.
Produced by the legendary Steve Lillywhite, She & Him inaugurates World Cafe's new Lillywhite Sessions series from Avatar Studios in New York City. David Dye hosts the duo with discussion of its debut album, Volume One, while Lillywhite offers his own commentary on the music.
Since their initial collaboration on a single for the soundtrack to the film The Go-Getter, M. Ward and actress Zooey Deschanel went on to record a full-length collection of her demos. Volume One seamlessly combines her syrupy-sweet voice with his simplistic yet stunning instrumentals. Through songs of love both lost and found, She & Him captures timeless sounds and rhythms.

In the span of three years, U2 delivered a one-two-three punch: Boy, October, and 1983's War. War begins with the legendary call to arms "Sunday Bloody Sunday." Its machine-gun guitar rhythms and Bono's passionate vocals set the tone for an album that took no prisoners. In an interview with host David Dye, War's original producer, Steve Lillywhite, talks about the creation of the landmark album.

Hours Of Fun!!!
By BMSmommy
from Georgia
About Me Education Oriented, Stay At Home Parent
My 3-yr-old got this wonderful imagination-play toy for his third birthday. Almost 10 months later he still enjoys playing with it multiple times per week. The fishing vest fits nicely and is high quality, as are the other pieces. My son has a wonderful time casting the reel and catching the "Daddy, mommy and baby fishes" (large, medium and small). I highly recommend this fun set!

Every month, Garrett Popcorn Shops Team Members visit a Chicago neighborhood to share our Handcrafted Happiness with fans (and soon to be fans!) for what we call #HappyFriday…
When we met President and Founder Sally Hazelgrove of Crusher's Club at Tina Brown's Women in the World event this spring, we knew we had to team up with her and host a #HappyFriday event at her gym. Crusher's Club is a Chicago community organization that restores high risk youth to a path of maturity by using boxing, peer mentoring and music to teach respect, discipline, ownership and love.
When our Team headed out of the office for #HappyFriday and arrived at the former church on 64th Street, we found Sally smiling ear to ear upon our arrival. She greeted us with open arms, as did all of the members of the Crusher's Club. It instantly became a #HappyFriday for us all!
The Crusher's Club members welcomed us into their training facility and music studio and then gave us the grand tour of the church. We absolutely adored their handcrafted signs and posters that encourage leadership, creativity and greatness, and we also enjoyed hearing the story of how Crusher's Club came to be. They are transforming and inspiring dreamers through boxing and music – how cool!
The young folks of Crusher's Club were thrilled to have our Garrett Popcorn Team on site and jumped in the ring to show us a few moves. Just as exciting was that the Voices of Englewood (featuring Crusher's Club members) gave a VIP performance in the ring with their very own handcrafted tunes! Their words and talent were Like No Other and really touched our hearts. They even made up their very own "Garrett Popcorn Dance!"
We wanted to share this kernel of happiness with you, as we applaud Sally and all the young people of Crusher's Club for all the hard work they are doing to make a positive impact in the world!
Keep up the great work and thanks for being fans of Garrett Popcorn Shops®!

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Well organised race - great start to 2013In full: Tough-ish race but a well organised and well marshalled race makes it worth the trip.Date of review: January 7, 2013
In short: Well organised race run through beautiful scenery - but oh dear ... the heat!!In full: Fauiltless organisation and this would be a great race but for the heat yesterday. The undulations work against you in the first half of the race but ther's a smooth ride down in the second half and much of the last k or so are downhill-ish. I just found the heat too much for me and struggled - but that was my fault not the race!Date of review: September 10, 2012
In short: Faultless organisationIn full: Well worth the long journey. Excellent organisation that really couldnt be faulted with great and enthusiastic marshals. I had a poor run though - but thats nothing to do with the course or the race. Will do again when I can do it justice!Date of review: October 30, 2011
In short: Very enjoyable, well marshalled and excellent value for moneyIn full: Travelled up from Sussex for this race. Low key itr may have been but it was an excellent race - a fiver to enter on the day with a well marshalled course, good organisation, fruit and water at the finish ... and a buffet with tea, sandwiches and cakes!! Well done Barking Road RunnersDate of review: August 30, 2011
In short: Phew what a scorcher!In full: Always a pleasure to do this race. Impeccable organsiation, enthusiastic marshals and a glass of cold beer waiting at the finish. OK I lied about the beer, but it was a great race again - but my that heat made it tough. My fastest Folkestone for four years so I must have done something right.Date of review: April 22, 2011
In short: Well worth the effort - but those hills made it one big effort!!In full: Thoroughly enjoyable if tough-ish race. No really big hills but plenty of long drags to make them tell. The downhill bits are good though.Great organisation turns this into a very good race indeed. Date of review: February 28, 2011
In short: Great Pre-Christmas eventIn full: I'll echo the previous reviewer's comments about calories in the bank - well worth the effort too. Great value for money, excellent organisation and the weather all played their part in ensuring this was well worth the effort. I won a spot prize too for resolutely staying upright when tripping over the road hump at the finish!Date of review: December 12, 2010
In short: Another great Folkestone Half.In full: Well organised yet again. Great value too with the goody bag very welcome. Lots of marshals make for a very good event. Oh - and I was 15 minutes quicker than two weeks ago - so I was happy too.Date of review: September 26, 2010
In short: Great value raceIn full: Thoroughly enjoyable race. Bit of a hill here and there - especially at 8K - but a really nice morning out. Terrific value with a decent t-shirt and a free leg massage to top the day. Plenty of marshals though the water station at 3K could have done with a bit of help - but that shouldn't deflect from a well organised race.Date of review: September 19, 2010
In short: Always enjoyable.In full: Thoroughly enjoyed the event after a couple of years absence. Great set of marshals, well organised and grateful for the energy drink in the goody bag.Date of review: September 5, 2010

NYPA Presents Annual Porcelain Doll Show at Lansing Manor
NORTH BLENHEIM—The New York Power Authority's (NYPA) historic Lansing Manor will host a world-class porcelain doll show beginning June 1 through June 30. This exhibit includes porcelain dolls from such prominent companies as Ashton-Drake, Paradise Gallery and the Franklin Mint, and features some of the most exquisite and life-like dolls in the world.
These porcelain treasures were designed and crafted by some of the world's finest doll artists and many are valued at several hundred dollars. The display ranges from the traditional porcelain babies to more elaborate fancy ladies and can be admired by all ages for their detailed artistry. This year's show reprises many of the favorites from last year's presentation.
The impression of the dolls is one of timelessness and beauty, which produces a strong sense of nostalgia that nicely compliments the historic décor of Lansing Manor.
Lansing Manor, at NYPA's Blenheim-Gilboa Pumped Storage Power Project Visitors Center, is open Wednesday thru Monday from 10am to 5pm with free admission which includes the porcelain doll show. The site is located on Route 30, 17 miles south of Middleburgh, and about 50 minutes from Albany.

IRC Services HOWTO
Services are applications running on the IRC server and allowing to manage nicknames and channels in
a clear and effective way. Currently available services are:
- NickServ: This is a nickname manager that users can use to protect themselves from nickname abuses.
- ChanServ: A channel manager helping users to manage their channels in a highly customizable way. ChanServ keeps a list of privileged and banned users for each channel and it thus allows for access control. It also overcome all takeover problems thanks to op/unban/invite functions, as well as a function of mass deop and mass kick.
- MemoServ: This is a service allowing to send short text messages to offline users, who will read them as soon as they connect.
How to use services
Services are programs that can be used by sending a message to virtual users NickServ, ChanServ and MemoServ. Thus, supposing you want to ask help about NickServ commands, you'll just write:
/msg NickServ HELP
this command should work with all clients. Some clients allow to cut the command short by writing:
/nickserv HELP
/ns HELP
this doesn't work with all clients (BitchX for instance). The corresponding commands for ChanServ and MemoServ are:
/msg ChanServ HELP
/chanserv HELP
/cs HELP
/msg MemoServ HELP
/memoserv HELP
/ms HELP
How to use NickServ
The first thing you should do when you use IRC Services is registering your nickname. You'll thus prevent someonelse from abusing your nick. Besides, you can only use other services if your nickname is registered and recognized. In order to register a nickname, use the REGISTER command:
/msg NickServ REGISTER mypassword firstname.lastname@example.com
you don't need to enter your real e-mail address, but if you don't you will not be able to recover your password if you lose it. NickServ will respond to this command with the answer:
-NickServ- Nickname pho registered under your account
thus notifying that your nickname has been properly registered. When you've registered, every time you reconnect to the IRC server you'll get the following message from NickServ:
-NickServ- This nickname is registered and protected. If it is your
-NickServ- nick, type /msg NickServ IDENTIFY password. Otherwise,
-NickServ- please choose a different nick.
To answer this message, type:
/msg NickServ IDENTIFY mypassword
-NickServ- Password accepted - you are now recognized.
You can check that an user has identified with her nick through the command WHOIS. What follows is for instance the result of a 'whois' about an unidentified user (note that 'identified' is different from 'registered', as a nick can be registered but someone could connect to IRC with someone else's nick and ignore the password request...).
/whois megabug
.----------------------------------------- -- -
| megabug (~email@example.com) (Italy)
: ircname : megabug
| server : paranoia.irc.mufhd0.net (A/I IRC Server)
: idle : 0 hours 4 mins 17 secs (signon: Tue Apr 23 15:42:01 2002)
if an user has identified, a WHOIS about her will be as follows:
/whois megabug
.----------------------------------------- -- -
| megabug (~email@example.com) (Italy)
: ircname : megabug
| register : megabug - is a registered nick
| server : paranoia.irc.mufhd0.net (A/I IRC Server)
: idle : 0 hours 4 mins 17 secs (signon: Tue Apr 23 15:42:01 2002)
note that now the line "register : megabug - is a registered nick" has appeared.
If someone willingly 'steals' your nick, you can force her to abandon it with the RECOVER command:
/msg NickServ RECOVER megabug mypassword
-:- megabug is now known as Guest9568776
-NickServ- User claiming your nick has been killed.
-NickServ- /msg NickServ RELEASE megabug to get it back before the one-minute timeout.
the user abusing your nick is thus 'renamed' by force. IRC Services will now keep your nick for one minute, after which you can recover it:
/nick megabug
>>> You(megabug_) are now known as megabug
-NickServ- This nickname is registered and protected. If it is your
-NickServ- nick, type /msg NickServ IDENTIFY password. Otherwise,
-NickServ- please choose a different nick.
/msg NickServ IDENTIFY mypassword
-NickServ- Password accepted - you are now recognized.
We can even keep our nick protected when we are not connected, so that if you don't identify within one minute your nick is automatically recovered. This is one of the options we can activate for our nick with the SET command. In order to obtain the complete options list for this command, just enter:
/msg NickServ HELP SET
the option we were just talking about is KILL -- if you want to activate it, write:
/msg NickServ SET KILL ON
-NickServ- Protection is now ON.
moreover, if you connect without a static IP, you should delete all entries in your access list (for further information on this feature, read the NickServ online help). However, the commands you need to clean up your access list are as follows:
/msg NickServ ACCESS LIST
-NickServ- Access list:
-NickServ- *megabug@*.2d34f077.stru.polimi.it
this command shows your access list. Delete the entry "*megabug@*.2d34f077.stru.polimi.it" with command:
/msg NickServ ACCESS DEL *megabug@*.2d34f077.stru.polimi.it
-NickServ- *megabug@*.2d34f077.stru.polimi.it deleted from your access list.
/msg NickServ ACCESS LIST
-NickServ- Access list:
your access list will now be empty, If you try reconnecting to the IRC server, you'll read the following message:
-NickServ- This nickname is registered and protected. If it is your
-NickServ- nick, type /msg NickServ IDENTIFY password. Otherwise,
-NickServ- please choose a different nick.
-NickServ- If you do not change within one minute, I will change your nick.
(f you don't change within one minute)
>>> You(megabug) are now known as Guest9568777
-NickServ- Your nickname is now being changed to Guest9568777
NickServ has thus forced the nick change you wanted.
How to use ChanServ
After you've registered your nickname, you can use it to register a channel through ChanServ.
In order to register a channel, you naturally have to be Op(erator) of this channel, and the channel mustn't be already registered or currently used by others.
/join #test
-:- megabug [~email@example.com] has joined #test
-:- [Users(#test:1)]
[@megabug ]
-:- Channel #test was created at Sat Apr 27 02:21:49 2002
Now you are an operator of the #test channel, and since #test hasn't been registered yet, you can register it with the REGISTER command:
/msg ChanServ REGISTER #test mypassword Channel description
-ChanServ- Channel #test registered under your nickname: megabug
-ChanServ- Your channel password is mypassword - remember it for later use.
Your channel has been registered and the registering user has become channel founder. A founder can
change access modality for her channel, can define a list of nicks enjoying particular
privileges, etc.
Now let's try to exit and re-enter the channel.
/part #test
/join #test
-:- megabug [~firstname.lastname@example.com] has joined #test
-:- [Users(#test:1)]
[@megabug ]
-:- mode/#test [+nrt] by ChanServ
-:- Topic (#test): changed by ChanServ: (ChanServ)
-:- mode/#test [+o megabug] by ChanServ
-:- Channel #test was created at Sat Apr 27 02:34:31 2002
as you can see, Chanserv has automatically opped you. Auto-Op is a very nice feature of
ChanServ. A founder is opped by default every time she accesses her channel (also because
she has the highest privileges in the channel). Furthermore, a founder can write a list of
nicks which are automatically given operator status when they connect to the channel.
Actually a founder can keep three different privileges lists:
- VOP (VOice People) - This list contains nicks which will automatically receive Voice modality when they access the channel.
- AOP (Auto OP) - This list contains nicks which will automatically receive Op status when they access the channel.
- SOP (Super OP) - People included in this list have the same privileges as AOPs, but can also use AutoKick and read or write messages in the channel memo.
These three lists use the same commands for adding/removing nicks, so a command for AOP list such as:
/msg ChanServ AOP #test LIST
has a corresponding line for VOP and SOP lists:
/msg ChanServ VOP #test LIST
/msg ChanServ SOP #test LIST
this applies to all commands described below.
The LIST command we have just seen shows the content of each list. Since the channel has just been created, the list is obviously empty.
-ChanServ- #test AOP list is empty.
If you want to add a nick to the list, use the ADD command:
/msg ChanServ AOP #test ADD baku
-ChanServ- baku added to #test AOP list.
/msg ChanServ AOP #test LIST
-ChanServ- AOP list for #test:
-ChanServ- Num Nick
-ChanServ- 1 baku
User baku has thus been added to the AOP list in the channel.
Similarly, you can delete this nick with the DEL command
/msg ChanServ AOP #test DEL baku
-ChanServ- baku deleted from #test AOP list.
These few commands help manage channel access. Only channel founders can modify these lists. It can also be useful to acquire channel privileges even if you connect to the IRC server with a different nick. To do this, you can use the IDENTIFY command:
/msg ChanServ IDENTIFY #test miapassword
-ChanServ- Password accepted - you now have founder-level access to #test.
In this case, even if you have not materially founded a channel, you can obtain founder privileges just by knowing the channel password; or you can give the channel password to trusted people who can help us manage the channel.
How to manage takeovers
If you have founder privileges for a channel, you shouldn't worry much about takeovers, as you can use a recovery system even for extreme situations. The command you need, and which of course only founders can use, is the CLEAR command. This command has some options you can use depending on the situation:
/msg ChanServ CLEAR #test OPS
This command deops all #test users. It can be useful if someone takes over the channel by deopping everybody without kicking/banning them.
/msg ChanServ CLEAR #test BANS
If someone takes over the channel and then kicks and bans all users, you can remove the ban with this command. It must naturally be used after a CLEAR OPS so that the person taking over the channel cannot ban again soon after.
/msg ChanServ CLEAR #test MODES
This command removes all channel modes (in particular +k +i and +l). If someone sets an invite-only, a password-protected (+k) or a user-limit (+l) mode on your channel, you can reset the configuration with this command. For the reason above, you should of course make a CLEAR OPS before giving this command.
/msg ChanServ CLEAR #test USER
This command removes all users from te channel, in practice with a mass kick...
It should be clearly avoided, but in some cases this is the easiest solution.
Once you get your channel under control, you can obtain operator status (if ChanServ hasn't given them automatically) by entering the command:
/msg ChanServ OP
How to use MemoServ
MemoServ is used for leaving short messages to other users who are temporarily
offline and will read you message when they reconnect.
MemoServ commands are very easy to use. If you want to send a message, enter:
/msg MemoServ SEND megabug Hi, mega how are you?
-MemoServ- Memo sent to megabug.
in this example we have sent megabug the message "Hi, mega how are you?". When someone sends us a message, MemoServ notifies us:
-MemoServ- You have a new memo from megabug.
-MemoServ- Type /msg MemoServ READ 2 to read it.
You can have a list of all your memos through command:
/msg MemoServ LIST
-MemoServ- Memos for megabug. To read, type: /msg MemoServ READ num
-MemoServ- Num Sender Date/Time
-MemoServ- 1 megabug May 01 22:10:27 2002 CEST
-MemoServ- * 2 megabug May 02 16:27:24 2002 CEST
A memobox can contain up to 20 memos. If you want to read a memo, type command:
/msg MemoServ READ 2
-MemoServ- Memo 2 from megabug (May 02 16:27:24 2002 CEST). To delete, type: /msg MemoServ DEL 2
-MemoServ- Hi, mega how are you?
To delete old memos, use the command:
/msg MemoServ DEL 2
-MemoServ- Memo 2 has been deleted.
/msg MemoServ LIST
-MemoServ- Memos for megabug. To read, type: /msg MemoServ READ num
-MemoServ- Num Sender Date/Time
-MemoServ- 1 megabug May 01 22:10:27 2002 CEST

So, what have you been up to lately? Well, it was a holiday last Monday and I had the very awesome chance to experience Chinese New Year at its best at the Manila Hotel.
That night was super fun because it was hosted by Manila's Queen of Feng Shui Maritess Allen and Manila's King of Talk Boy Abunda. I guess what is amazing to me is that most of the people who attended were actually Filipinos. I know that it might sound a bit weird but I do believe in Feng Shui because I believe in balance – just like how I believe in Yoga. If you ask me if Feng Shui worked for me, well, I can't really give you a straight answer because I don't have a BIG story yet. Maybe, it'll come, I don't know. But this I have to tell you, I am truly fascinated with it.
Feng Shui Items
I can't really remember when I started to have Feng Shui Items. I would probably guess that I've had some items since around 2005. It started with the lucky bracelets from Charms and Crystals (which before were around PHP2,800 and now it's a whopping PHP6,800 per bracelet!!) and graduated to World of Feng Shui items by Lillian Too. The good (well, not so good, I guess) thing about the Lillian Too items is that a lot of people have their own versions so you can get them cheaper – but I guess it would still be pretty expensive.
Personally, I have the following for this year:
Blue Rhino and Elephant (around PHP500)
This keychain works as a talisman to protect you from the nasty effects of the violent number 7 star – which is said to afflict the boar this year. This particular star is said to manifest itself in the form of robbery, car accidents or someone cheating you of something or someone that is rightfully yours (in other words "ahas" – English translation: snake).
Nightspot Talisman Amulet (around PHP500)
This particular amulet brings protection against all sorts of harm and people with bad intentions. Highly recommended for those who work late at the office or those who frequent nightspots or as well as those who have to entertain clients or a travel a lot.
I bought this particular amulet because I am scheduled to travel this month and next month and it wouldn't hurt right? 🙂
Well, here are just a few reminders if you have these items:
- Make sure that you have the "new" version or newly bought amulet because if you're still using the one of last year it would probably be "mahina" (weak) already.
- Make sure that nobody else touches these amulets because you're the only one who is "allowed" to touch it. If by any chance someone else touches it by mistake, make sure you re-energize them. How? You can use incense. "Pausukan" mo. I don't know the English translation of that! (haha.)
Anyway, I hope this helps especially for people who are born on the year of the boar and for those people who travel a lot. If you have any comments, questions or suggestions, please feel free to email me. I will try to research more about Feng Shui for you. 😉
