Often found curling a Net Hentoff, McBride's fingers that have pulled the strings for countless sessions with Sting, Tyner, Hancock, Corea, Hubbard, Metheny, Martino, Hargrove, Redman, Joe Henderson, Chaka Khan even playing onscreen for Robert Altman's Kansas City. Christian McBride evokes a content and unlikely vision of a youthful James Earl Jones. An Eagles' jersey, old-style striped Philly's baseball cap and wire specs complete the look. With an easygoing manner and quickness to laughter, McBride tempers any tendency to stress even in challenging situations.
An old soul, young lion, prodigy, historian, mentor, storyteller, character, arranger, composer, bandleader and sideman, McBride was born just 100 days after fellow Philadelphian trumpet legend, Lee Morgan, died. Like the legacy of the music, a spirit of tradition is carried on as if destined for just that. But the fact remains that McBride, now 31, is the new tradition. He's equally at home with funk, swing and classical. Every form of transition defines flexibility and McBride has made tsunami waves this last decade, having been the "word" at least as long.
Steeped in tradition by choice, McBride looks to his mentors Ray Brown, Milt Hinton and Wynton Marsalis for the cues that will keep jazz running on its original, founding principles. Philosophies of swing and the element of surprise, plus knowing the history to build on it, McBride makes his own mark. Though he visits on occasion, McBride doesn't live in the museum swing built, but rather responds with quality, humor and balance in a world of extremes. He transcends style and period to create the message required at any given moment, in whatever situation he finds himself. He looks to the future from the considerable vantage point the lessons of the past have provided. He then passes that knowledge onto future generations through his association and residency with the University of Richmond, Aspen's Snowmass program, and the Henry Mancini and Dave Brubeck institutes and clinics.
Along with Philadephia Experiment band mate, pianist Uri Caine, and other Philly flashes including The Brecker Brothers, Clifford Brown, Philly Joe Jones, legendary guitarist Pat Martino (whom McBride accompanies on his latest) and a host of the great organ trios, McBride belongs to the latest talent harvest that emanates from Liberty city. He serves to continue the sonic legacy and original tenets of jazz itself.
JazzReview: So how's everything going?
Christian McBride: Everything's great.
JazzReview: You've been playing with Pat (Metheny) a lot lately.
Christian McBride: Yeah, we just completed the U.S. portion of our little run. We had a good time.
JazzReview: Yeah, I'll bet. We got to see you in Lawrence.
Christian McBride: Oh, did you? Oh, cool.
JazzReview: Yeah, that was a great show. Yeah, the first show, anyway, with Pat's family there and everything. You got to hang out after?
Christian McBride: No, no. We took an overnight bus ride somewhere; I can't remember where we played the next night.
JazzReview: Is that how you're traveling predominantly?
Christian McBride: Pretty much, yeah.
JazzReview: I guess in Melbourne the equipment didn't arrive on time?
Christian McBride: Oh, (laughs) in Florida, yeah. A truck broke down and it was really surreal. The equipment truck broke down, then the tow truck came to tow it away and then the tow truck broke down. So we got our equipment like right at show time. So, you know, Pat's setup is pretty complicated. It takes at least a half hour to 45 minutes to set up the stage. But people, they hung out. They were patient and we had a great show.
JazzReview: Can you talk about those gigs from the inside? Like what is he expecting from you? I mean I know he trusts you guys to do your thing.
Christian McBride: Yeah, you know Pat is very specific about what he likes and what he hears, and what he wants. He lets you do your thing in the framework of what he needs. Like for example, take somebody like Herbie Hancock or Bobby Hutchinson; they kind of want their sidemen to actually try and push them out of their element, 'cause it'll make them react a certain kind of way. Whereas Pat really is specific about what he hears and what he likes, which is great. It's very apparent the way that Pat has created the Pat Metheny sound a very singular innovative sound.
JazzReview: He has a vision.
Christian McBride: Yeah. It's kind of cool to be a part of someone's sound and that's one thing I've always noticed about Pat. He's one of the few people of modern the last 20 to 25 years who you can hear one note and know right away its Pat Metheny.
JazzReview: Oh, absolutely. It's unbelievable.
Christian McBride: He has a vision and its fun to be a part of that vision.
JazzReview: So does it feel at all constrictive or is it just different?
Christian McBride: No, no. It's not constrictive at all. Not for me. I actually enjoy trying to help someone fulfill their vision. I mean that's part of what
JazzReview: Support role.
Christian McBride: Exactly, you know. That's a part of what bass players and drummers do.
JazzReview: Traditionally, but of course you're also very interactive.
Christian McBride: Yeah. But, it was fun. I look forward to recording this trio, and get to do it real soon.
JazzReview: There's a thing in Japan, right?
Christian McBride: Yeah. We're going to Korea and we're also going to Japan. So maybe after we get back from Japan or, I don't know. We'll see what happens (laughs).
JazzReview: Yeah. (laughs) Exactly. So then the tour is over after that?
Christian McBride: Yeah, then I think Pat's just finished the group record.
JazzReview: Oh, it's finished?
Christian McBride: I think it's finished or close to being finished. Then we go back to our respective bands. But you know, I'm sure we'll do something else, maybe next year, maybe next summer. I heard something like that, maybe.
JazzReview: Cool. I'll be there. You guys first met on the Josh Redman gig, right?
Christian McBride: That's right. Well, we actually met when I was with Freddie Hubbard's band. I was 18 and I met Pat at the Regatta bar. So you know, I would run into him on the road and when Joshua put together his tour for that "Wish" record, that's the first time I got to play with Pat. Then we toured pretty much that entire year, and we did a few gigs here and there after that some all-star things. We did a record with Roy Haynes and now this.
JazzReview: Kind of a long time apart. Did you feel a lot changed?
Christian McBride: Well, (laughs) if you ask Pat, its funny because our first rehearsal, Pat just looked at me and just started laughing. He said, "Man, have you changed in the last ten years or what? I remember those days when you would break out in a rash if anybody even remotely tried to bring an amp near you." That's when I was in my really right wing, acoustic only phase, you know. And now, Pat was laughing because I got these double stack amps, my pedal board and all my weird effects going on. And he just looked at me and laughed for about a good ten minutes. Times have changed.
JazzReview: (laughs) Yeah, for real, right? What's going on with your band?
Christian McBride: We start back up in January. We're going on a short little run. We're playing New York for 3 nights at Birdland. Then we're going up to Boston to play Sculler's and the Iron Horse. We're doing the New Orleans festival and Playboy, so we got a lot of gigs coming up. I'm going into the studio in February to record my next band CD. It should be a fun year.
JazzReview: What's the status of the Philadelphia Experiment with Uri Caine?
Christian McBride: Well it lies in the hands of Questlove. The roots are so big and [I'm] so busy trying to nail Armir down for some gigs. It's pretty close to impossible, but we'll get 'em.
JazzReview: You've really gotten big into passing on your knowledge, teaching, clinics and all that, and you studied with Ray Brown. And I guess, Wynton was kind of a mentor to you, too, right?
Christian McBride: Very much so.
JazzReview: What are you trying to impart to students and musicians coming up now? What do you really want to see them get from your time together?
Christian McBride: A couple of different things. Well, for starters it's kind of bad because I caught the very tail end of the great ones. I feel lucky that I had a chance to play with people like Milt Jackson, Ray, Milt Hinton and Billy Higgins. So many people have passed away in the last couple of years. I feel bad sometimes that a lot of the younger cats coming on the scene now won't get a chance to get that first hand knowledge that I got from those guys. So its my job, because I know what they would've learned and I know these young cats would've loved those guys that have passed away. It's my job to pass onto them what I learned from those cats.
JazzReview: Like what specifically, the way bands were led?
Christian McBride: The way bands were led, little anecdotes and stories and little bits and pieces of wisdom. It's really nothing specific.
JazzReview: But those things affect how
Christian McBride: They affect how you play, they affect how you live, and they affect your outlook on a whole lot of things.
JazzReview: So it's your philosophy in a way
Christian McBride: Yeah. It's a total philosophy and one thing I always want to keep. Another thing I want to pass on to the young musicians is to not pay homage to your masters by merely trying to imitate them or trying to somehow recreate their old vibe, because that's impossible. The world changes, times change, things change, and energy changes. Too many times when you try to approach music from a historical standpoint, a lot of younger musicians have been made to think that if it doesn't sound exactly like it used to then somehow its not authentic.
JazzReview: I know, I know. But how did it get that way in the first place? Somebody had to think creatively and originally.
Christian McBride: Somebody had to take a risk. And it's all about taking an educated risk. If you listen to all those old records and you learn your theory and your harmony, you don't have to wear your knowledge on your sleeve just for the sake of showing everybody you know your history. It's all about taking that knowledge and making your own personal statement.
JazzReview: Absolutely. But that seems to get lost on so many players. It is like you say. If they're just emulating or imitating and they want to get all the inflections just perfect, it's like they're losing sight of the point.
Christian McBride: Right. But on the other hand you don't want to make yourself think that you're doing something new (laughs).
JazzReview: Yeah, I know what you mean.
Christian McBride: That's the other extreme. I've known some guys who have this very anti-tradition mentality - like you know we're from the new school and we're doing it this way. It's like, well yeah, that's cool, but that's not necessarily new (laughs).
JazzReview: Right. Maybe they just haven't heard something that sounds like it or something.
Christian McBride: Exactly. You just gotta be humble, man. That's all it is. This art isn't about us (laughs).
JazzReview: Oh yeah. It's much bigger.
Christian McBride: That's right.
JazzReview: You know what's interesting is the fact that you have worked with both Wynton and Pat and in a way I kind of think philosophically they almost represent polar opposites.
Christian McBride: Twelve and six (laughs).
JazzReview: Yeah, Pat's like looking off way into the future and Wynton's trying to keep the museum happening.
Christian McBride: But you know we need both of those kinds of outlooks. We really do, because we have to have somebody to keep it rounded. As long as you have guys really trying to stretch things over the cliff and you have someone saying, "Ok, well look, you stretch it over the cliff. I'm gonna stand back here and make sure this thing doesn't fall off." (laughs)
JazzReview: So it's like a balance.
Christian McBride: It's a balance.
JazzReview: Actually, I got to see Wynton for the first time in a real small club recently in San Antonio.
Christian McBride: Is that where I'm calling? San Antonio. Wow, I've been there once.
JazzReview: You know, with the Spurs? (laughs)
Christian McBride: (laughs) Right, right.
JazzReview: I had to rub that in, sorry. The 76er's gave the Spurs a run last year.
Christian McBride: The east used to be like the west, but things have reversed. Now, nobody's running. I like San Antonio. They don't get talked about because they're the good guys.
JazzReview: They're starting to now since the two championships the last five years.
Christian McBride: No, actually I was in San Antonio once in 1993. The IAJE conference was in San Antonio that year.
JazzReview: Yeah, I remember that. I remember I saw Rufus Reid there. We were doing a gig downtown and he came in.
Christian McBride: Hope I get down there again soon.
JazzReview: It's a nice town. You might know a guy who lives down here now Gerry Gibbs?
Christian McBride: Is that where he lives now?
JazzReview: Yeah, that's who Wynton was playing with. He's got a club here and is always bringing in great people
Christian McBride: No kidding.
JazzReview: Yeah, he had Randy Brecker the other day, Abercrombie and Stern.
Christian McBride: Oh, well hopefully I'll get to get down there.
JazzReview: Oh, you got to, man. That would be great. I was going to ask you about your time with Sting. Can you talk about that a little bit? Is that a continuing thing or what?
Christian McBride: Well, I don't think anybody really knows. You know, Sting is very much like he likes to change. He likes to keep a black book full of his favorite musicians.
JazzReview: Big book.
Christian McBride: Very big book. And he likes to mix and match and use a lot of different cats, which is a really great thing to do for someone of his stature, popularity and artistry, first and foremost. But I started working with him a little over two years ago. His new CD just came out and I got a chance to play on. It was a fun project. I haven't heard the CD all the way through, but I'm sure the whole CD sounds great.
JazzReview: Yeah, we won't tell him that.
Christian McBride: Ahhhh! (laughs). No, it was fun working with him. I never thought, of all people I would get to work with, it would be him. I got a very surprising phone call one day, well, my manager did. And he called me up and said, "How'd you like to play on Sting's next record?" And I said, "Yeah, how's that gonna happen?" And he said, "Well, his manager just called me." As a matter of fact Sting's manager used to be, she was a publicist, she did one of Pat's tours. I think maybe the Secret Story tour. She was the publicist for it. You know, the music business is so small, so doggone small. So I flew to Italy to do the record - concert/live record and while I was there I was totally expecting to do just this one project, 'cause that's all they asked me to do. And I was fine with that, but once I was there, Sting and I got a chance to do a lot of one-on-one. He said, "Well look, I got a bunch of dates for the rest of the year. You want to do them?" (laughs) I said, "Yeah! I would love to." And then that turned into, "I got some more dates next year, can do you do those? And after that, I have some more dates. You're gonna be there, right?" And I said, "Well Sting, actually I can't make them all. I do have some other gigs I gotta do." "What do you mean?" (laughs)
JazzReview: Oh no. You pissed him off. (laughs)
Christian McBride: (laughs). But it was cute though, you know? He was like, "Aw man. You mean I gotta play bass now?" (laughs)
JazzReview: So you mean he didn't have somebody? He was just fishing?
Christian McBride: Well, he played bass. I mean when I played, he only played bass on one song. He just concentrated on singing. And the gigs that I couldn't do he just went back to playing bass fulltime, which I think he's most comfortable with anyway because that's what he's been doing for God knows how long. You know, one of the most interesting things, which I kind of knew was the case, but it was really kind of interesting to hear it confirmed is: once he put the bass down and just started concentrating on singing, it threw him off a little bit. He started forgetting words and he said, "I'm so used to having the bass around my shoulders that that's my comfort level. I don't have my bass so I'm thrown off a little bit." I completely understood.
JazzReview: You don't sing, or do you?
Christian McBride: Just for comedy's sake.
JazzReview: (laughs). Hey, how was the new Martino project?
Christian McBride: Funny you should ask me about that.
JazzReview: He's one of my favorite guitar players along with Metheny.
Christian McBride: Oh, Pat Martino, he's one of the legends. And you know, it's easy to hear where Pat (Metheny) got a lot of his stuff. Between Pat Martino and Jim Hall. I can hear all kinds of Pat Methenyisms there.
JazzReview: You know Metheny never says that, though. He never mentions Martino.
Christian McBride: Yeah, but if you listen to him you can hear it.
JazzReview: I know. I know.
Christian McBride: But Pat loves him dearly, you know. We talked a lot about Pat because the CD ("Think Tank", nominated for 2 Grammy awards) was released while we were on tour. So we talked a lot about the Pat Martino record. Pat totally admires and respects Pat Martino. I had a lot of fun working on the record and I was hoping I wouldn't have to tell anybody this, but since you asked, I'll tell you. The music was great. I absolutely adore Pat Martino and I love his concept from the record, but I really do think, hands down, out of the hundreds of records that I've been on, that's the worst sounding record I've ever played on. I think the bass sounds atrocious.
JazzReview: How did that happen, just an engineering thing?
Christian McBride: Yeah, total engineering thing. It wasn't the studio. It was the engineer. I won't call any names, but you can just look on the back of the record and see who it was. (laughs)
JazzReview: Well, I won't mention this stuff in the interview.
Christian McBride: Hey, don't worry about it. It's funny because when they sent us the, I guess the producer, he sent the entire band promo CD's. And the next day I got a call from Lewis Nash and he said, "Christian, did you listen to the CD yet?" I said, "No." He said, "Put it on."
JazzReview: He was freakin' out?
Christian McBride: He was freakin' out! And I put it on and I thought, "Oh my God, you kidding me?" I said, "They must've accidentally sent us the roughs, right?" He said, "No, I think this is mixed." I said, "You can't be telling me the truth." Then, it was funny. I called Joe Lovano the next day and Joe said, "Man, I was just about to call you in a few minutes." (laughs)
JazzReview: (laughs)
Christian McBride: So we had an entire network going. We couldn't believe how this record sounded.
JazzReview: Have you heard back from Pat about it; what he thinks?
Christian McBride: I haven't heard. I don't keep in touch with Pat so but I was kind of shocked. I mean, the guitar sounds great (laughs).
JazzReview: Oh yeah. Well hell, it better!
Christian McBride: I mean, was it only the bass or was it some of the other players, too?
JazzReview: Well, everything other than the guitar, everybody was pretty unhappy with - at least the band members. Because in the studio, there really is no need to use all DI on an acoustic bass. When you're in the studio you can just put a microphone in front of it, get a very big, broad, natural sound and that's not the sound that you're hearing on that CD.
JazzReview: Nice, warm pre-amps.
Christian McBride: Yeah, and drums. We thought: no front head, kind of, 1977 fusiony bass drum kind of sound. And that's not how Lewis Nash's drums sound in real life.
JazzReview: It wasn't that kind of date, right?
Christian McBride: Not at all.
JazzReview: It wasn't Joyous Lake.
Christian McBride: (laughs) No.
JazzReview: Which is a great record.
Christian McBride: Totally. But we just kind of freaked out. If you can somehow get past the sound, it's a really cool record. Because, like I said, Pat's playing is awesome. His writing was awesome and the vibe was awesome. It's just that engineer was oh, man!
JazzReview: Oh wow. Man, that's a drag.
Christian McBride: Yeah. So on my website, on my discography, I thought about putting a little asterisk.
JazzReview: Oh no, not the asterisk.
Christian McBride: (laughs) And I was gonna put a little message saying: I'm very sorry, but this bass sound is not my fault. (laughs)
JazzReview: I mean, all the other great stuff you've been on has got to make people realize, hey, its got to be another factor, right?
Christian McBride: I sure hope so! (laughs)
JazzReview: How do you go about composing, when you write your own stuff?
Christian McBride: I have to admit I don't compose unless I have a reason to compose, which is not necessarily a good thing. I think if I wrote a little bit everyday, it probably wouldn't be such a task. Sometimes when I compose I feel like I'm rushing myself. Not all the time, but a lot of times I feel like that. Most of the time I just sit on the piano and play around until I come up with something. I think one of the things that can happen if you compose a little bit everyday is you can somehow break down these little mental walls. I know that I have a lot of complexes when I'm trying to compose. I sit at the piano and start thinking, "Ok, I'm not going to write something that sounds like something I've already written. I have to write something that sounds like this. I want something in this mode." Instead, I should just sit down and not worry about it. I should probably do a little bit everyday and not even think about those kinds of things.
I think one of the best songs I've ever written I actually wrote under some time constraints. I didn't have time to think about if it sounded like something I'd written before or what the cats are gonna think - is this gonna be a cool tune? I just sat down and wrote, you know. It turned out to be one of the songs that many people like a lot, called "Shades of Theatry," on my first CD. So if I get in that headspace more often, I think it wouldn't be so much of a task. As far as arranging is concerned, I'm a huge big band historian. I've always liked to study the styles of different arrangers and orchestrators you know, Quincy, Thad Jones, Gil Evans, Bob Brookmeyer and people like Oliver Nelson and Bill Russo. I'm really getting into that; a lot of large ensemble arranging. Probably because I've been focusing on it a little more, it is not as much of a task as it is sitting down and writing a song. I can take a standard and try to arrange it for big band and I get a lot of fun out of doing that. Of course, who these days has a big band? I'm just sitting around with this big library of big band music waiting to be played.
JazzReview: That leads me to the Jaco big band that you were on, the "Word of Mouth Revisited" thing. Can you talk about that project a little bit?
Christian McBride: Yeah, I got a call from Peter Graves (bandleader Jaco used to work with) and once again, there's a thread that again connects this whole thing together. Peter, of course, knew Pat and Jaco when they were both down in Florida, and Pat and I have the same manager. So Peter called David, the manager of Pat and I, and asked if I would like to play on the CD. I said, "Absolutely." So I flew down to Miami and did the whole thing in about an hour and a half (laughs). Of course, one of the biggest challenges for the one song I played on, "Forgotten Love," the original version had no bass. It was fun, but still a little scary. The anticipation of creating a bass part for the baddest bass player of all time was kind of like: uh oh, it's all on me.
JazzReview: How did you feel about that?
Christian McBride: That's one of those things where if I think too much about it, it will freak me out. So I try not to think about it too often. (laughs)
JazzReview: (laughs) That reminds me of a comment you made. You were talking about the trio when you were playing with Herbie and Jack. You were talking about what Herbie calls "controlled freedom."
Christian McBride: Well, it was like educated freedom. The more you know the more you know what to do, and what not to do. Right there on the edge, right there on the edge without falling over. And the thing about controlled freedom is that if you do fall over, you know what to do to make up for it. Let's face it, there are going to be times when you're on the bandstand and somebody's gonna lose the form or somebody might hit a wrong note or a drummer might drop a stick. Things like that happen. That's the beauty and the honesty and humanity of music.
JazzReview: Yeah, the truth.
Christian McBride: But one of the things about playing with Herbie that he learned from Miles is: Miles apparently used to say, "Its ok to play a wrong note because the note you play after the wrong note might make the wrong note right."
JazzReview: Right. It's all context.
Christian McBride: It's all context. So that's controlled freedom as opposed to random abstract, which some jazz musicians tend to take a concept with. Well you know, "Its just 'sheets of sound and the notes aren't as important as the vibe and feeling." But you know, the notes do play a big part in it. (laughs)
JazzReview: Absolutely.
Christian McBride: The thing about playing with Herbie - and it wasn't so much Herbie as it was Herbie AND Jack Dejohnette because he's a master of loose rhythm and he plays around the beat - he's one of those kind of guys where he's not gonna dictate where the beat is. He doesn't need to. If you know that the beat is here: you know, 1-2-3-4. He can play that and just kind of play around it.
JazzReview: Right. You did some trip gigs in Japan with those guys. How did that go?
Christian McBride: I was really scared at first until we did a few gigs. Once we got to Sapporo I felt more secure. But I was taking a solo and at one point, Herbie plays this huge eleven-note chord and I was stunned. I stopped in my tracks it was so beautiful. I got lost - and it only lasted a split second - and I told Herbie after the gig I was sorry about that. He said he was lost the whole gig. (laughs)
JazzReview: (laughs)
Christian McBride: Herbie has this childlike honesty.
JazzReview: Curiosity, like Miles. What's up next for you?
Christian McBride: Well, I've got a project with McCoy Tyner coming up and have the live recording in Japan with Pat. Then I'm playing with Al Jarreau in January [2004] and then my band in February [2004].

I have been thinking about Semantic Assertions for several years. It is easy to let things get complex fast.
Currently, I am looking at a very simple data module. With what could have been additional fields being additional rows instead. Hopefully this will work out to make querying faster.
First, every tag instance must have an instance_id, a tag, and a tagged_instance. The tagged_instance itself points to another tag instance that the first instance is modifying/clarifying/defining/grouping or it points to a tag instance with an tagged_instance of zero which is a terminal tag at least within that system. It could however be a link to tags stored in other systems.
So the default mode becomes tagging of tagging instances. The exception, a tagged_instance of 0 covers traditional tagging and tagging of tags. For traditional tagging, the target (typically a url) gets assigned a number first on a row with a tagged_instance of 0 and the target url in the tag field, then that instance is tagged. Tags also are defined with a tag instance that has a tagged_instance of zero, but are combined with plain text in the tag field. Taggers are simply a select set of tags that are tagged with a specially designated tag.
There are a lot pieces that I left out for this round. Hope to write about this again soon.

Patrick Goodenough | International Editor | Thursday, August 25, 2005
"The human rights of those people who were blown up on the Tube [subway] in London on July 7 are, to be quite frank, more important than the human rights of the people who committed those acts," Home Secretary Charles Clarke told Britain's commercial ITV News network.
"It is a balance, of course, and I acknowledge that there are real issues that have to be addressed, but I wish the U.N. would look at human rights in the round, rather than simply focusing all the time on the terrorist," he said.
Clarke was responding to a statement issued by Manfred Nowak, special rapporteur on torture with the U.N. Commission on Human Rights, who urged Britain not to deport radicals to countries where they face the risk of torture.
After four Muslim terrorists killed 52 people and themselves on the London subway and a bus last month, the government announced plans to crack down on terrorism and those who promote it.
Britain is in the process of negotiating agreements with Middle Eastern and North African countries ahead of plans to deport extremists to those countries. Police three weeks ago detained 10 suspects the government wants to expel, including the al Qaeda-linked Jordanian cleric, Abu Qatada.
The first such bilateral agreement, signed with Jordan, states that any citizen of one country deported to the other "will be treated in a humane and proper manner, in accordance with internationally accepted standards."
But Nowak argued that such agreements would not guarantee that torture or ill-treatment would not occur.
"Diplomatic assurances are not an appropriate tool to eradicate this risk," he said, decrying what he called a tendency by European governments to circumvent their duty not to deport a person if there was a serious danger of torture.
Clarke has announced that deportations will begin shortly.
He released a list of "unacceptable behaviors" that would be grounds for deporting, or excluding entry to, any non-British citizen.
The list includes the expression of views which "foment, justify or glorify" terrorism, which provoke others to commit terrorism or which foster hatred that could lead to "inter-community violence" in Britain.
It covers such views disseminated verbally, on the Internet, in written or published form, or by individuals in positions of responsibility, such as teachers or community leaders.
Clarke said the measures were necessary in the face of the "real and significant" terrorist threat facing Britain but added that they were "not intended to stifle free speech or legitimate debate about religions or other issues."
He said a database would be compiled of individuals around the world who would be unwelcome in Britain on the basis of their behavior, and the list would be used by immigration officials.
Human rights campaigners and lawyers have already warned of legal challenges to the planned deportations. Appeals would most likely invoke the Human Rights Act -- legislation passed by Prime Minister Tony Blair's government in 1998 and based on the European Convention on Human Rights.
Blair said earlier that if "legal obstacles arise," he would seek to amend the Human Rights Act.
A senior Conservative Party lawmaker and likely candidate for the party leadership, David Cameron, said in a speech Wednesday that if international conventions get in the way of deporting foreign nationals who pose a threat to Britain, then the country should withdraw from them entirely, "perhaps temporarily."
Liberty, a British rights group, said the government still had to convince human rights campaign that sufficient guarantees of deportees' safety had been obtained.
"We believe it is better for terrorist suspects to be tried than shuffled around the world," said Liberty's legal director, James Welch. "If they have to be deported, then at the very least, there must be corroboration and robust involvement from international human rights monitors."
The Muslim Council of Britain, Britain's largest Islamic umbrella group, said Clarke's list of unacceptable behavior was "too wide and unclear."
MCB Secretary-General Iqbal Sacranie called for "full and proper" consultation on the policy, saying the measures should be "practical and capable of being successfully implemented, and not merely sweep under the carpet contrary and uncomfortable opinions."
He also worried that deporting or banning entry to someone for expressing support for "liberation movements ... would be viewed as oppressive."

ExplanationThis is an album to display single images of each of the erupting volcanoes that have been listed or displayed on SP. While dormant volcanoes are all very nice, I am hoping this will turn into a nice collection. Thanks to all the people that took these great photos! The images are first displayed alphabetically and then by rank. View locations of those photos that have coordinates on a map.
Please let me know if there are some volcanoes which I haven't included, or pictures that could be switched out. (There may be some overlap with the Fumaroles and Volcanic Gas album which I unfortunately somehow forgot about until recently.)

The Willits High School Cross Country team traveled to Upper Lake last weekend to compete in their first race of the season, the Cougar Classic.
Six runners represented Willits in the race that is just over two-miles.
Rachel Kanonchoff was the only girl racing for Willits and it was also her first cross country race ever. She finished with a time of 23:15.
The top boy finisher for Willits was freshman Robert Swoboda. His time of 12:24 would have won the jayvee boys race, with 51 runners. "However, the rules say that you must field a full Varsity team before you can run any JV's," said Willits coach Dave Smith. "So Robert ended up competing in the Varsity race where he took an impressive 14th place."
Swoboda was followed by Ankit Patel (13:22), Cole Jessup (13:58), Anthony Sorace (14:25) and Tristen Svendsen (15:38).?
"All of our runners ran a good hard race.," said Smith. "We had each of them pick a mile split to shoot for, and all of them came within a few seconds of their goal."
Sorace hit his split exactly, when he came through the first mile at 6:45. Swoboda was 8 seconds under his goal when he clocked a 5:52 first mile.
The Wolverines travel to Santa Rosa this weekend to compete in the Viking Opener, where there will be between 20-30 teams.

As a political blog, Ward Room is more familiar with Che "Rhymefest" Smith's plan to make the 20-th Ward "the greenest ward in Chicago" than with his rap career. We're familiar with Kanye West's "Jesus Walks," the song Smith won a Grammy for co-writing, but we don't know much about his solo work. We've heard the reviews, though. Like this one from Ald. Willie Cochran, Smith's opponent in the April 5 run-off: "When you're in a position where you influence people and you use it to bring a scorn on our society and you promote get your gun, promote calling people bitches, promote treating people like that ... what makes him think he should make decisions for the community? And that what he's preaching on ... That's what he says in his music — how to be contrary to the law, and now he wants to be a lawmaker."
On the other hand, WBEZ's Jim DeRogatis calls Smith "an inspiring artist and individual."
Here are some highlights from his career, so you can judge (CAUTION EXPLICIT LYRICS).
Rhymefest first came to prominence in 1997, when he defeated a fellow aspiring MC named Eminem in a rap battle at Scribble. Listen to the audience shouting "Sit Him Down" at the end.
In 2004, Rhymefest co-wrote the gospel-inspired "Jesus Walks" for Kanye West's multi-platinum album The College Dropout. The duo were awarded a Grammy for Best Rap Song.
Rhymefest broke out on his own in 2006, with his solo album, Blue Collar. This song, "Dynomite (Going Postal)," is a portrayal of the street life that Cochran criticizes.
It was another four years before Rhymefest came out with his follow-up album. In the meantime, he dropped this acclaimed re-mix of Michael Jackson's "Man In The Mirror."
Rhymefest's most recent album, El Che, featured a song about our own hometown. Have a listen to "Chicago."

Carnitas lovers rejoice: Tacos Guaymas near Tacoma Mall reopened today
It took four months instead of the six weeks they were expecting to reopen, but Tacos Guaymas on 38th Street is back in business.
A fire on Feb. 16 shuttered the popular taqueria near Tacoma Mall. An oily rag spontaneously combusted in the back of the restaurant and made a mess of the kitchen. The back area of the kitchen was fried, the menu board melted from the heat of the flames. Smoke damaged some of the booths. Owner Salvador Sahagun told me in March he thought it would take a month to repair the damage. As is so true in the restaurant world, one month usually turns into somewhere between three to nine months (wouldn't it be great if an app could convert restaurant time into real-world time? I'd pay at least $4.99 for that app).
I visited today and saw the new menu board and the dining room looked like it had been fluffed and buffed. Read more »

Awesome view while you have your beer. Also did the beer tasting, however beers are lacking. Good food at average prices.
Beershine (850) VANCOUVER, British Columbia | October 17, 2012
Pleasant winery brewpub with a typically sick view of this mindblowingly beautiful region...beers are only average though. One can also eat here and seems like a nice enough kitchen although we were not hungry.
jolo (65) Uppsala, Sweden, South Africa | February 13, 2012
You walk right through the brewery when entering the main entrance. A nice and affordable restaurant as well.
SudsMcDuff (190) .....Manchester United.........., Texas | March 18, 2006
This is a place where u can go get free tasty south african beer samples, go on a short limited but fun tour,eat some good grub, and go outside and enjoy the crazy cool view with a delicous kolsch, which i think is there specialty. great vibe if u will but just a view to many yuppies in expensive cars...

Members of FertilityFriend.com's community can create groups and buddy groups to organize the community. These groups may take either the style of a single topic (linear discussions among a small group of members) or a full forum (multi-topic, fully featured forum).
Single topic buddy groups are intended for smaller, closely knit support groups of people who tend to chat regularly and know each other pretty well. Buddy Groups do not use topic based discussions; instead, they post their messages in the same topic. This format enhances the closeness of the group by creating a more continuous discussion. Buddy Groups are intended to be small groups of less than about 100 participants.
For larger groups or broader interaction, the member forums are a more appropriate choice.
How to create a group/member forum
Before creating any group, please make sure that none of the existing groups are suitable for your discussions. You can search the existing groups title by clicking on the Groups drop down menu at the top of any Forums page.
To create a group, click on the Groups menu and select the style of group you wish to create (Single topic or Forum).
You can then fill the form with your group title and description. Each group is associated with a category which will help classify the type of group you are creating. It will help new members find the appropriate groups quickly.
Group Roll Call
FertilityFriend.com groups have an automated roll call system directly integrated with the charting and pregnancy tracking applications. You are deemed a member of the group if you recently posted in the group. If you have set your boards profile to have your FertilityFriend.com home page linked to your posts, your nickname in the roll call will be followed by a link to your FertilityFriend.com home page. On the FertilityFriend.com charting side, each group member will have her cycle day, DPO and pregnancy test results displayed on the roll call. On the pregnancy side, the week of pregnancy and the due date will be displayed. In addition, on the fertility charting side, the roll call organizes the charts by cycle phase (Waiting to Ovulate, Waiting to Test, HPT Positive, Chart not updated). Once an HPT positive is recorded, the roll call entry indicates the estimated due date as well as the week of pregnancy.
Group Chat Room
Each group has its own chat room. You can enter the chat room from either the roll
call post or from the chat's list of rooms.
Groups Directory
A directory of all the active groups in the forums is maintained by the forum software. Click on the
Groups menu to access it or search it.
Single Topic Groups Rotation
Single topic groups are automatically re-generated when the number of posts reaches the size limit (around 45 posts). When the group is regenerated, the old topic is automatically locked and a new topic is created. The first post in the automatically generated topic is the group roll call based on the previous topic. Single topic groups are rotated a maximum of once a day (in the early morning, EST). If you just created your group, the first roll call will be made the next day.
Automatic Deletion
Groups (forums or single topics) that are left unused for a few weeks are automatically deleted to prevent cluttering of the list with abandoned groups. You can re-create them as needed.

Janesvile boys champion hits greens, putts well
The Janesville Craig senior-to-be hit 15 greens in regulation and putted with pinpoint precision.
Clatworthy�s 50-foot lag putt on the final hole of the tournament allowed him to tap in for par and claim a one-shot victory over Peyton Graham in the boys 17-18 year-old division. Clatworthy shot a second-round 74 and won the overall title with a 36-hole total of 149.
Jordan Gagg cruised to the title in the boys 15-16 bracket, while Zach Morris won the boys 13-14 division thanks to a second-round 77.
Karlee McCue won the girls 17-18 division and the overall title with a 167 total, with Taylor Utzig second at 174. Ashley Hermanns (178) won the girls 15-16 division, and Savanah Ryder the 13-14 division.
In the two-day, 18-hole tournament at Blackhawk Golf Course, Nate Farrell won a three-hole playoff over Matt Zimmerman to win the 11-12 boys division. Austin Gray won the boys 9-10 division.
Jacqueline Polglaze won the girls 11-12 bracket, and Sophia Dooman the girls 9-10 division.
Clatworthy and the Janesville Parker senior-to-be Graham were tied after shooting 2-over 38s on the front nine Tuesday, which started on hole 10. Graham double bogeyed the par 4, second hole to fall two shots back but pulled within one thanks to a chip-in birdie at the par 5, fourth. Clatworthy regained a two-shot lead when Graham bogeyed the fifth, but an errant tee shot at the par 3, eighth resulted in a bogey for Clatworthy and reduced his lead to one going into the final hole.
Graham and Clatworthy both reached the par 4, ninth in two, but Graham had a 15-foot for birdie while Clatworthy�s 50-foot birdie putt was all downhill. Clatworthy deftly left his lag putt within a foot and tapped in for par. Graham�s birdie putt rimmed out, leaving Clatworthy the winner.
�I just tried to play it safe on the last hole and keep it straight,� Clatworthy said. �I was a little mad after I dumped that shot on eight, but I was able to recover on nine.
�I�ve played pretty well this summer, and the last two days here, I shot just about what my handicap is.�
Clatworthy birdied two of his first four holes Tuesday, but double bogeyed the difficult par 4, 16th. He had nine pars and a bogey in his back-nine 37.

Was checking for coupons in the Deals Database. Is there anyway to make the merchants show up in alphabetical order? Thanks.
Edited to add: I also noticed they're not all grouped together. Scrolling thru I can see Merchant X coupons then some other merchants, then Merchant X pops up again. If you can get them all together. Thanks.

Hey Brian,
This isn't something you need to "fix", but it is something I've always longed for as an AM. What I'd like to see is a way to distinguish where affiliates that are signing up for your program are coming from. For example, I wish I could have different links for each source, such as:
1. Abestweb
2. Internal Network recruitment
3. Email recruitment
4. Signed up from my homepage
5. OPM recruitment
and so on. Further, I'd like to see how each of these sources are performing. That way, I can allocate recruitment funds skewed to the highest performing recruiting source.

I have an auto message that goes out when the affiliate is accepted. I use the code !!USERNAME!! so that they are given their username.
BUT each time the name is not replaced when the message goes out
"...As soon as you can go to your
admin page at http://www.shareasale.com/ and grab a banner or text link.
user name is; !!USERNAME!! ...."
I was told it was fixed but an affiliate wrote me and included the acceptance note and it was as above.
Second. I have sent in our data base. How will I know when it is up and ready for the affiliates to grab?
When an affiliate asks to use FTP access and I approve, does he receive a note or do i need to write him and let him know?

On SaS' homepage - in the Affiliates paragraph - it says: "There are currently over 1,700 Merchants plugged in to the Shareasale.com network..." Is this accurate, Brian? My rough estimate is telling me that this number is more like 3,000+

I should start off by saying thanks. Thank you for operating an excellent network. It has been a pleasure working with you as well as the wonderful SAS support team. They are always great and if any problems arise, they get on it right away.
In regards to the SAS system, there are two ideas I have that I feel would be helpful to SAS merchants and their affiliates.
1) On the "Bonus Programs", I would like to see the ability to provide a % bonus as well as a dollar amount bonus. This works in the favor of the affiliate.
Please see the below example.
If commissions for current month are greater than $500 give affiliate a $50 bonus.
If commissions for current month are greater than $1000 give affiliate a $125 bonus.
Based upon the above example, an affiliate earning $950 would only be given a $50 bonus. This is approximately a 5.25% bonus. On the other hand, an affiliate earning $500 also earns a $50 bonus, which is approximately a 10% bonus.
With the method I am proposing merchants would be able set it up similar to the following:
If commissions for current month are greater than $500, give affiliate a bonus equal to 10% of affiliate earnings.
If commissions for current month are greater than $1000, give affiliate a bonus equal to 12.5% of affiliate earnings.
Based upon this example, an affiliate earning $950 would receive a bonus of $95 rather than $50. This is nearly 100% more than the $50 dollar bonus. All of this adds up to... additional money in the affiliates pocket!
2) Also, We would like to see the ability to track where affiliate signups through the SAS system came from. As an example, we could set up an ABW announcement with a tracking URL where source=abw. Then, when the affiliate enrolls in our program, there would be an interface for us to track this within the SAS merchant toolbox. Also, on the affiliate details section, it could include a referrer field that shows where they signed up from.
Thank you once again for your support and SAS's open mindedness toward positive suggestions. We look forward to seeing the above changes implemented within the SAS network.
Best Regards,
Zach Hamilton

I think merchants that have not clocked a sale withing a reasonable time frame (3 months? 6 months?) should be quarantined so that we don't have to dig through a pile of duds every time we are looking for a merchant to promote.CUSTOM BANNERS by GRAPHICS CANDY ~ Banner Sets and Website Graphics ~ Professional design, reasonable rates

Brian - I appreciate what I am reading here, both from ABW members and your replies.
Looks like you have a ton of work ahead - but input is a great thing to have, and a great way to display the integrity of your program.
Keep up the good work!

Ok, I didn't read the whole thread so please forgive me if I have duplicated a request.
Here is my dream for SAS. I would like a way to get coupons, sales, and special offers for all of my merchants without having to go to that one page you have and cut and paste each one, one by one by one by one. Something similar to Performics Orange links would rock. I have not been in the interface to get coupons in some time, as I found it too cumbersome. I would like to just have an email that has every new coupon for my merchants, with links, daily, weekly, or something similar.
June 14th, 2006, 12:36 AM #260
They added a couple new options recently:
* Instant Auto-Notification of new deals/coupons (RSS Feed)
* Quick Database of all available coupons (Your merchants only)
June 14th, 2006, 04:34 AM #261
From the merchant's perspective, here are the few things that I would like to see at SAS (btw.. have gone through a few pages of this thread, not all. So don't know if these points are already raised).
1. An option to ftp new coupons in a specified format (similar to data feed). For example, MontRED has daily & weekly deals. It would be a pain to upload new coupons every day at midnight PST.
2. Being able to browse the uploaded banners by sizes (100x100, 125x125 etc).
3. This is more of a question: Can we use javascript to provide dynamic info to the affiliates. This maybe used for banners/text-links etc.
4. A ticket based system for customer support.

I am looking at sending the affiliates that are NOT active notes using the affiliate newsletter interface.
Is there any way to change the way the affiliates are listed? Right now they are randomly listed, How about an option same as when we view affiliates?
By date joined, clicks, sales, ascending, descending etc?

Can shareasale add an Invalid Link Report the same way CJ has it. That report was the reason CJ use to be my network of choice. It tells me the URL on my sites that have a link from an inactive merchant.

I have been trying for months to get some answers to why BabyFactoryUSA was allowed to post $0 sales and never pay us a commission. I have been trying to get a resolution to this. By the way, BabyFactoryUSA is still listed as "Temporarily Offline" even though they have been unresponsive to both me and supposedly to Shareasale. I have asked for them to be removed.
After repeated questions to your support crew of "What actions are taking place? " I only receive a "At the moment, we are doing all that we can. I won't be able to give you a timetable because it is dependant on the merchant's level of cooperation."
No action plan, no explaination, and no commissions. The merchant just gets to keep the sales.
Is Shareasale powerless against offline merchants? If so, affiliates beware.

This thread goes back to the turn of the century and so many requests have been made.
Would it be possible ( I know this is a long shot)
that there could be a list made of all the requests and if they were acted upon?
So many were great ideas but after a week/month they seem to be forgotten and even if they were acted upon many of us would not have know that it was done.
I realize this would be a hell of a job but would really benefit us all.

This is perfect! Thanks for asking us for a feedback. Here's my request.
Please make all affiliate HTML code, into VALID XHTML1.0 code.
This will help in understanding more about XHTML, (requires knowledge of HTML)
XHTML has been around for many years now. Using XHTML, makes the website look good to search engines such as google that care about website quality.
Its hard work for us affiliates to correct your HTML code and make it into XHTML, because we have to incorporate so many links it's quite time consuming to correct each and every peice of affiliate HTML code.
Please consider making this change to all of your text links, data feed and banners. The affiliate world will THANK YOU .
July 12th, 2006, 08:59 AM #273
I have suggestions about 2 different things that really slow me down when I'm working on upkeep or a new idea.
1. Please make the merchant's "number" part of their name or easily found in the details about the program. The feeds are by number and if I put one on my desktop instead of in the right folder - I can't find it without looking up the number. The last time I was looking for a merchant ID number I ended up making a link just to find it.
Solution: Merchant Name - 00000 in details about program list or in summary page
2. Can we list the datafeeds alphabetically? I know that after I've set up a relationship with a merchant I can quickly get to the feed via ftp or even their links page - BUT when I'm trying to decide on a merchant - and check to see if they have a feed, how big it is, and when it was last updated - I can't find them easily.
Thanks a million for being so approachable that we all feel like we can direct your operations from our seat in the galley !!!!
July 13th, 2006, 07:22 PM #274
I just found the "sort" button on the datafeeds. Now I feel really really dumb.
But it works beautifully!
July 13th, 2006, 07:30 PM #275
Could you contact the Merchant Shower-Curtians.com and explain to them that the Google ads they have on their site are considered leaks by affiliates? (and that we really don't appreciate things like that)

Leaks like that aren't really a SaS problem if the customer is following guidelines, but it's a problem for us and we need to watch carefully.

MSI GeForce GTX 460 768MB Cyclone Video Card
Temperature Tests
With the TES 1326 Infrared Thermometer literally in hand we found ourselves getting real-world temperatures from the products we test at load (3D clock speeds).
There are two places we pull temperature from - the back of the card directly behind the core and if the card is dual slot and has an exhaust point we also pull a temperate from there, as seen in the picture.
Not only does the Cyclone cooler look impressive, it does a fantastic job of keeping temperatures down which is fantastic, too.
