Lumber Liquidators DIY Installation Starter Kit Bucket |
DIY Installation Starter Kit Bucket Now you can do the job yourself! Quick Highlights & Specs: |
Reviewed by 6 customers
Sort by
Displaying reviews 1-6
Best Uses
Has everything a first time DIYer needs and then some. I did need to replace the pull bar because mine from the kit got bent out of shape and I could have used some more spacers. The knee pads were a God send, but I'm not sure that the "one size fits all" is accurate. The other items I found useful were the tapping block, the saw for trimming the base of the door frames, utility knife and tape measure.
Best Uses
Difficult to use with mallet without damaging underlayment and fragile when using hammer. I used 8 blocks in installing 3000 sq ft. Yet it is essential to use so as to not damaging edge.
Best Uses
I bought the higher priced kit since we were doing basically the whole house with the new flooring. We've barely finished one small room and already the tool used to help tap the boards into place is a mess and is damaging the floorboards!
Best Uses
The salesman told me I would need this bucket, but I had no idea until I started the job just how much I would need this bucket! Some of the tools I wouldn't have realized that I needed so to have them together so conveniently made the job much easier.
Best Uses
The bucket had many items that I hadn't thought of and prepared me for this project. I recommend this for any 1st time installer!

text: Ogris Debris are from Vienna and they are sitting on a swing. They call it 'Sexy Chair'. They use it to oscillate between techno and house music, in full swing, sort of. Actually Daniel Kohlmeigner and Gregor Ladenhauf are two really bad pranksters, or like they say in Austria: 'Lausbuam'. But once you experience Ogris Debris live, you learn that they will rather shake your leg than sell you down the river. Even though you may get the impression somehow. Yet hidden behind all that show-off disguise is a wholehearted enthusiasm for that special funk in-between the four to the floor. A lot of experience in various genres of electronic music plus an arsenal of wisely chosen music machines equals maximum euphoria on the dancefloor. Using this, aforementioned swing is pushed with zest and zeal. Rocking! At Compost Records Headquarters in Munich, Germany, you can blind and numbfold label manager Michael Reiboth, but he will always pinpoint two galloping rockers easily, thus in December 2008 Compost Black Label #39 with the tracks 'G-Thong' and 'Hide Open' is released to critical acclaim.

Wednesday Evening Update
Sorry for the later than normal update -- switching shifts up a bit and filling in for Bob French in the evenings over the next couple of days. Despite the shift, rain chances continue to look healthy as we head into the weekend.
Computer models (mainly the GFS) paint in between 1/2" to 1" of rain possible for the Brazos Valley on Saturday. Heaviest of the rain in Texas is likely to stay west of I-35, with multiple model runs pinning down the Hill Country to get the heaviest drink of water.
Any bit of rain (despite football games or not) will be a welcomed sight to the area. The National Weather Service released stats for September (thus far) and with only 0.53" of rain falling this month, we are on track for going down as the 7th DRIEST September on record.
As of this evening, we'll call for a 30% chance of scattered rain Friday afternoon and evening followed by a 50% chance of scattered showers and possibly a few isolated thunderstorms on Saturday (still staying a bit on the conservative side for now). Here's a look at select times over a Friday to Sunday time period:
Friday Early Evening
Saturday Midday (Near Kick-off at Kyle Field for the Aggies vs. Razorbacks):
Saturday Evening:
Sunday (Drier and Cooler Airmass Moving In):
Tuesday Morning Update
When you look at the big picture, 2012 is still in a surplus for rain with 32.06" falling since January 1st -- which puts us ahead of the "normal" by 3.98". That's all good and well, until you start hitting strings of 100°+ day and only a few days here and there with isolated rain popping up over your backyard (as we did this summer).
So that all being said -- it's no secret that we could use a little bit of rain. The question is, will you take it at the expense of a chance of getting soggy during not only Friday night football games but possibly even at Kyle Field as the Ags host the Arkansas Razorbacks?
Lets dive into changes that will eventually get us to our weekend rain chance...(chance being the key word here)
Find your Kite -- I'll Be Breezy
Not saying anything earth shattering here -- you need the atmosphere to get nice and moist if you are going to see any sort of rain. While the dry, non-humid feel over the past several days has been great, we'll need to add to the humdity in order to prime things for rain chances. And that's exactly what we'll do today and Wednesday.
A southerly breeze blows through sustained at 10-15mph and will occasionally gust upwards of 20-25mph at times. While it is a moist wind that will increase the dewpoint steadily over the next 48 hours, it'll also create a bit of an Elevated Fire Danger with the dry vegetation spread out over the Brazos Valley. Main thing is if you had outdoor burning plans scheduled for today or Wednesday, it'll be best to re-think that until Thursday when wind speeds will slow back to 5-10mph.
Low-Level Moisture is Covered, Now Let's Work on The Upper-Levels, eh?
Hurricane Miriam (Category 2 strength) is churning in the Pacific off the West Coast of Mexico and will eventually move towards the Baja Region and weaken. As that happens, some over that high-level, Pacific Moisture will feed off of Miriam and get pulled through a southwesterly flow over Mexico and into Texas.
By Thursday, expect to see this moisture start to move in as the skies turn mostly cloudy, with mainly high-level overcast. Now that both upper and lower level moisture has been secured...let's try and get a bit of rain to fall...
Add in a Weak Cold Front
A cold front, pushed in by an upper-level system across the northern portion of the country, will slowly start to sag it's way into Texas late in the week and on into the weekend. As it gets closer, lift will be added to the atmosphere which will try to make good use of that available moisture from the Gulf of Mexico (at the lower levels) and the Pacific Ocean (in the upper levels).
Rain chances will be on the scattered side by Friday afternoon / evening (30%) followed by a slightly better shot at more organized activity (40%) with a pre-frontal boundary pushing into the area -- likely early Saturday. A few scattered to isolated showers or thunderstorms could remain as we head into Sunday -- that is until a cold front finally pushes through and once again dries out the atmosphere by moving in 60° dewpoints in.
For now we'll say this: there could be a few heavy downpours and possibly even an isolated strong thunderstorm or two that could produce always dangerous cloud-to-ground lightning. That being said, if you have plans to head out Friday night (especially to area football games) or if you have tickets to get into Kyle Field on Saturday....KEEP YOUR PLANS.
This is an interesting forecast and can still change a bit on timing and intensity of the rain. We need the rain and we can always use a little football in our lives -- however, some of us may be sitting through a few gray and damp games as we jump into this weekend.
More details and fine tuning on the forecast to come with later blog updates through the week.

Bear Trap
Fruit Herbal Blend by DAVIDsTEA
It'll work every time
Seriously, this might be the best way to stop a bear in its tracks. They love berries, and this tea is full of them. The aroma of black currants, blackberries, strawberries and raspberries is totally irresistible. Plus it's calming, which is important when taming wild animals. Just don't try to take it away from them.
Ingredients: Elderberries, apples, rosehips, blackcurrant, raisins, strawberry leaves, lemon verbena, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, cherries, blueberries, papaya (papaya, sugar), natural and artificial flavouring.*

Ultrasound is a test that uses sound waves to create detailed pictures of the inside of your body. Duplex ultrasound is a type of ultrasound that makes two kinds of images. First, it creates pictures of your blood vessels. Then, it makes graphs that show how quickly blood flows through the vessels. These images are viewed on a computer screen. No radiation or contrast fluid (dye) is used during the test. Unlike x-rays and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), ultrasound tests are safe to use during all stages of pregnancy.
Duplex ultrasound can help your healthcare provider find problems with blood vessels. These problems may include:
Narrowing or blockage, which can lead to problems such as leg pain or stroke.
Aneurysm, a ballooning out of a blood vessel wall.
Dissection, a tear in the layers of a blood vessel wall.
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot in the deep veins of the legs.
Varicose veins, swollen, twisted veins that can be seen under the skin's surface.
Duplex ultrasound can also help your healthcare provider:
Decide whether further testing is needed.
Determine the best treatment plan for you.
Get more information about your blood vessels before surgery is done.

Critical Evaluation
William Shakespeare was not always the master playwright that he became in his later life. When he first began writing plays, he did not have the mastery of plot, character, concept, and language for which he was to be universally praised. In 1592, he was a young playwright with a historical trilogy and a classical tragedy to his credit; he was just beginning to explore and perfect his craft. The Comedy of Errors is an early experiment with comedy, and his enthusiasm for the experiment is clear in his writing.
Shakespeare followed the example of most playwrights of the Elizabethan era by adapting other plays and sources to make his dramas. This in no way detracts from his genius because what he adapted he made distinctively his own.
Most of The Comedy of Errors derives from Menaechmi (pr. second century b.c.e.; The Menaechmi, 1595) by the classical Roman playwright Plautus, who lived from c. 254 b.c.e. to 184 b.c.e. Act 3, scene 1 of the play originates from another work by Plautus, Amphitruo (Amphitryon, 1694). Both of these plays concern mistaken identity, which Shakespeare adapted for the crux of his plot as well. Just as Shakespeare adapted Plautus, Plautus apparently drew from an unknown Greek playwright. It was said of Plautus that his special genius was for turning a Greek original into a...

Molecular chemistry
Unlike the Emperor's new clothes that he couldn't see but he thought everyone else COULD, this is a fragrance that you can't smell on yourself, but that everyone else CAN.
Thread attended The Department Store's 'In Conversation' panel discussion on Thursday 26th April, featuring Escentric Molecules' Jeff Lounds and his partner, Style.com's Tim Blanks, a London-based, New Zealand-born journalist.
The two men discussed their rise to success and their unconventional marketing strategy in a talk titled 'The Rise of the Niche.'
I would have loved to hear more from Tim Blanks about his past in fashion nournalism, but this was a night for talking about Escentric Molecules, and I found it completely fascinating. In fact, I came away buzzing with all the infectious passion the men have for creating their brand. Key words I took away from the discussion were 'loyalty', 'niche', and 'ground-breaking.'
The fragrance brand Escentric Molecules is full of contradictions like this. It is quietly famous. It feels 'niche' yet it sells half a million units. They don't advertise. At all. They had celebrities (Naomi Campbell, Elton John, and Kate Moss amongst many, many others) take it to tipping point and beyond by seeking it out, and telling their influential friends. It got a reputation as being a pheromone-like fragrance that attracts men and women to you when you wear it, and they shared humorous anecdotes of people wearing it and being continuously hit upon!
Department stores such as Harrods and Bloomingdales turned it down (there's no bottle cap, or sexy advertising; they just didn't get it) and to this day are not permitted to stock it; instead, they are loyal to Harvey Nichols and later, Liberty. It is completely made within the UK.
It was interesting to hear that Karen Walker was there right from the start as a person "who gets it" and stocks the fragrances in Karen Walker stores in New Zealand.

Kate Allt is a news reporter with KTVO
OTTUMWA, IOWA -- Opening day of the Ottumwa Pizza Ranch drew quite a crowd as its doors opened at 11 a.m. Monday.
Owner Curt Hopkins told KTVO Friday that he expected a pretty good turnout, but the crowd that showed up exceeded his expectations. Lines were out the door before the restaurant even opened.
With kids off school for President's Day, they came out in full force to eat a bit of their favorite pizza.
For Dallas Fogle, that meant a tough choice.
"I would suggest their taco pizza, it's really good," she said. "And their chicken... and mashed potatoes are good too. Everything's good!"
Alicia and Ashton, students at Agassiz Elementary both claimed pepperoni as their favorite.
The Ottumwa Pizza Ranch has the same menu as its other location in Fairfield, but the building is 1,000 square feet larger,and also stays open later.

Colonel Maxon Tarven, 15th Armored Repulsorlift Regiment
Outside Tikirt, Exaron, Exaron System
"Identified! Twenty-five hundred meters!" called out Staff Sergeant Timel Hall, seated slightly below and in front of Colonel Maxon Tarven in the turret of the Colonel's S-1 Firehawke tank, letting the Colonel know he had targeted and ranged an enemy armored vehicle.
"Fire!" shouted Tarven, not bothering to check his Independent Viewer to verify the target before giving the order; he was busy monitoring his regiment's comm net, as well as that of his division, battletracking all of the Republic units with the help of one of the screens directly in front of him, below his Independent Viewer's screen. The S-1 bucked slightly as Hall pulled the trigger and fired the tank's heavy laser cannon.
"Target!" replied Hall, indicating that his round had hit. "Kill!" let Tarven know that the vehicle, whatever it had been, had been destroyed.
"Continue to engage!" ordered Tarven before keying his helmet mic forward and saying, "All Torches, this is Torch Six, we are approaching LOA. Prepare to bring your units to a halt and cease your pursuit."
"This is Sky Six, roger," replied Lieutenant Colonel Michaeu, 1st Battalion's commander.
"This is Hammer Six, roger," replied Lieutenant Colonel Karns, 2nd Battalion's commander.
"This is Lightning Six, roger," replied Lieutenant Colonel Okatef, commander of 3rd Battalion.
"This is Horse Six, roger," replied Lieutenant Colonel Gerend, commander of the Combat Support Battalion.
"This is Saber Six, roger," replied Lieutenant Colonel Young, the commander of Tarven's regiment's reconnaissance Squadron. The scouts had been screening to the north and south of the regiment as they had advanced, pursuing the fleeing Imperial forces out of Tikirt. The Republic had attacked eastwards towards Linert intending to seize Tikirt from the Imperials. Tikirt itself was an industrial city, an average target, but not the gem that the financial and banking city of Rywekh to the northeast would have been. However, capturing Tikirt had the added bonus of not only gaining control of a portion of the planet's sizable infrastructure, but also clearing a path towards the mountains to the north, where the Imperial planetary defense ion cannon facility lay. The ion cannon had been crucial in the Imperials' defense of their control of the orbit around Exaron, keeping any attempt by the New Republic to wrest naval control from the Imperials from succeeding.
Maxon felt his tank slow and watched as, almost in unison, all of the blue blips on his force tracker halted their advance across the screen and the last red blips disappeared off of the right-side edge. "All Torches, Torch Six, begin your consolidation back towards Tikirt," Maxon ordered. "Send me your BDA as soon as possible." As the regiment began to pull back towards Tikirt, along with the other Republic forces who had participated in the pursuit, he received the losses his Regiment had sustained thus far: seventeen tanks destroyed, and twenty-one more damaged but repairable. His scout squadron had lost ten SA-5 Hoverscouts, and the combat support battalion had lost two T-47s shot down. It was not bad, considering the damage that the 15th Regiment had dealt to the Imperials, but losing men was never a good thing. The 15th had been put in the vanguard of the Republic assault due to its elite status within the Republic Army as one of, if not the, finest Armored Regiment, and they had proved their worth. The point at which the 15th had attacked had crumpled under the heavy armored assault, and opened up a lane through which the Republic forces flooded, routing the Imperial defenders to both sides and forcing the defense to retreat. When the Imperials began to withdraw, the 15th had transitioned into an exploitation, chasing them down until they reached their limit of advance, at which point they were now turning back towards Tikirt. They would consolidate their defense and begin building battle positions against the expected Imperial counterattack in the coming days. Taking Tikirt was a big victory, and opened up a path to the ion cannon, but Maxon knew they had a lot of work to do before Exaron would be free.
Starcruiser MV Empire Miccol
Vratokh, Exaron, Exaron System
The ship touched down gently in the secure Imperial spaceport near the Imperial District of Vratokh. The ship had been thoroughly inspected and secured before its departure from Borleias, in order to prevent both unwanted knowledge of the MV Empire Miccol's secret contents, as well as to ensure those contents were not compromised in any way. The crew of the ship was regular Imperial Navy, but the handlers and guards for the contents were all from Imperial Intelligence, from the Operations Branch of that shadowy organization. The crew of the ship had known better than to ask any questions of the operatives, dressed head to toe in black combat suits with face-concealing masks, and the majority of the travel from Borleias to Exaron had gone in silence. Now that they had arrived, the crew of the Miccol was none too sad to see the agents depart.
The agents stood all at once, almost machine-like in their immediate preparations of the five crates which were secured in front of them. Several crewmembers cast curious glances over at the crates as they were slid open by the agents, but none could see what was being transported inside save for a small burst of condensed cooling gases being released upon the crates being opened. After a quick inspection by visual and scanner means, the agents sealed the crates back up. One of them turned to another and said, "Inform Major Vasilus that the cargo has arrived. We are transporting them to the Citadel now." His voice came out sterilized and mechanical through his mask, just as the Stormtroopers' did.
"Roger, sir," replied another Agent. The call was made, and the Agents activated buttons on the crates which powered up mini repulsorlifts and raised the crates up off the ground to be easily pushed. The Agents pushed the crates down the exit ramp of the starcruiser, pushing them towards a waiting armored transport speeder. They loaded the crates up onto the speeder, climbed inside the back, and informed the driver they were ready to go.

Reserve, in Murray Hill, is another new addition to the Thai scene, with an international wine list to match its small-plates offerings.

"Closing time! Haslem suspended for one game, Bosh still injured. Pacers leading 28-25 early in the second quarter."
Wade catching hot fiyah in the second quarter. Mike Miller 3/3 from downtown. Rik Smits in the house! Indiana goes on a 10-0 run midway through the second quarter to take the lead back. West and Granger with 14 and 13 respectively. And Wade has 26 points in the first half! 20 points in the second quarter alone (highlighted by some impressively challenging drives to the basket). Indiana leading 53-51 at halftime.
With Wade on the bench, Bron leads the Heat charge in the third. Miller also nails his fourth triple of the evening. Wade with 32 after three quarters. Heat lead 79-69 going into the final quarter of regulation. Joel Anthony playing some great defense throughout the game. The Heat managing to keep the Pacers at arms length for most of the final quarter (and the bench stepping up in unison to support Wade and Bron). Wade amazingly averaging a point/minute tonight as he scores another incredible lay-up in traffic (has not missed much tonight). Bron's usual all-around excellence overshadowed by Wade's efficiency tonight (41 points on 17-25). Heat win 105-93 and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals!

The middle of the Surreal Estate Wall hosts a striking line that fires up to a wide crack system at 60 ft, this is Unusual Weather, and for what it is worth, a better line in my mind than its harder cousin to the left. Very continuous climbing on pockets and edges takes you up to a horrizontal break. A traverse left gets you to a spot below the crack. Moderate climbing with some unexpected exposure (for the Shelf) gets you up the crack. I ususally find that if anything is cruxy on this route, it comes in the first 40 or 50 feet when the climbing picks up thin pockets and a few thin, flat inclusions. No single move is really 11c, so it may gain a notch or two for continuity to hit 11c. Don't be put off by the opening moves, big reaches for reasonable finger pockets will get you to a good jug pocket just below clip two, however, the opening feet are really marginal. For my style, I find that the best part of the climb lies in the first half dozen bolts. I wish that this excellent line were closer to home since Unusual Weather is well worth doing if you are in the neighborhood.
Nine to ten draws and a rope. Per Bob-a: The route was climbed with just three bolts and some tricams in pockets on the FA.
This climb deserves three stars, it is excellent. The opening move is a hard mantle then it is Shelf climbing at its best with great pockets, and fun edging. There seems to be a mini-crux at the upper crack that is thin and powerful.
This is one of the best routes, regardless of the grade, at Shelf Road. For whats is worth, I felt this to be a much better route than its close neighbor Back to the Future. The climbing on Unsual Weather allows for fluid movement up pockets and crimps with a variety of places to shake out. There is also about 15 feet of run-out 5.9 crack climbing to the anchors thrown in for good measure. Additionally, the Surreal Estate Wall has to be one of the most aesthetically pleasing cliffs out here and stays shady until around lunch.
High quality route on nice wall. Continuous movement up an ever steepening wall with a couple rests. One of the best routes at the bank. Would be a good warm-up for Heavy Weather.
With Heavy Weather, Staying Power, and Thunder Tactics all in a row, this section of the Bank is 11c heaven! I find it really hard to beat the Bank for density of quality routes in the 11 and 12 range.
Classic. One of the best.
Got shut down on the onsight 6 bolts up below the crack but daaammnnn fine line. A must do.

Please, how artificial neural network and support vector machine methods reduce dimensionality of variables? And based on what do we select the extraction features (retained variables)?
I haven't had much interaction with ANNs in years, so I will just discuss feature selection via Support Vector Machines. The most early paper that I know that discusses feature selection via Support Vector Machines is this [1]. Basically, they achieved it by using a 1-norm regularizer instead of a 2-norm regularizer. You can probably get more details about 1-norm SVMs from [2]. It is somewhat obvious as to why 1-norm SVM should enable you to do feature selection. Since, solution to 1-norm SVM has to be sparse, in effect you end up doing feature selection. [1] Feature Selection via Concave Minimization and Support Vector Machines | |||
There is a distinction between feature selection, feature extraction, and dimensionality reduction. Feature selection: Choosing m of n features where, m <= n. Feature extraction: May include feature selection but can also be generative.It can create new feature dimensions based on existing features. Normally the set of generated and selected features, m, will be of a smaller size than the original feature set, n. Though potentially the new features might be used to enhance the available set of features. Normally m < n, but m >= n is possible. Dimensionality Reduction: Any method by which a set of data with n features is represented by m features, where m < n. Depending upon the number of output nodes chosen for the Neural Network, they are fully capable of effecting dimensionality reduction. Consider a multi-layer neural network with N input neurons with each layer having one less neurons than the previous layer: layer sizes -> {N, N-1, N-2, ..., 1 }. Taking the outputs of any layer offers a reduced dimensionality representation of the input space in a set of transformed features, even to the limit of representing the input space in a single dimension. As your question was not about the primary goal of the Neural Networks but only about how they might be used for dimensionality reduction, as we have shown here it is certainly feasible that Neural Networks are capable of dimensionality reduction. The features you get with such a reduction, like those obtained with Principal Component Analysis, are not a selection of the original features but a transformation of those features and may not have a real physical interpretation. For example consider a feature comprised of ... 0.34 Age + 0.17 Height + 0.03 Eye Color + 0.2 Make of car owned. You may find the best performance for any given application may combine elements of feature selection and feature extraction, but this will only be revealed empirically. | |||||||||||||||||||||
Who said that dimensionality reduction is the goal of these methods? Their purpose is to relate a set of feature variables to a set of classes identified in the training data so as to classify objects in their correct categories as best as possible. Dimensionality reduction would only enter into this if you are picking subsets of the features to include in the NN or the SVM. Then you could reduce the number of features used if you find that it does not have a major impact on the classification problem. | |||||||||||||||||||||

The MultiPep CF is a fully automated peptide synthesizer with a unique column module that allows the synthesis of long and difficult sequences.
During the synthesis, reagents are continuously circulated and real time UV monitoring enables the automatic optimization of reaction parameters like deprotection, coupling times, and wash steps. This leads to a greater coupling yield, superior peptides, and also saves time and reduces reagent waste. UV monitoring uses a long life LED light source. The MultiPep CF can be upgraded with a 72 column module for parallel synthesis of peptides at 10-500 μmol scales. Options for the instrument include vortexing, heating, and inert gas.

Short Biography
the legendary composers of standards - George and Ira Gershwin, Richard Rodgers and
Lorenz Hart, Harold Arlen, the list goes on - had something to say about life's
serendipities. Their songs are full of unexpected encounters, fine romances that blossom
out of nowhere. Their wistful and often impossibly beautiful melodies convey the magic
of happenstance and also its flipside, the capricious cruelty of fate. Their lyrics
celebrate the notion that life can change in an instant - when that vision of loveliness
steps out of a dream and you suddenly find yourself bewitched, bothered and
'Speak Low,' the sublime and sexy follow-up to his critically acclaimed 2003 standards
collection 'But Beautiful.' Recorded in four days with the musicians playing live
together in the same room, Speak Low oozes the spontaneous essence of torch song. It's
romantic singing done casual and breezy - from the first notes, you sense that everyone
involved is alive to the possibilities of the moment. At the same time, it's a feast of
carefully wrought moods - here's Scaggs, owner of one of the most distinctive voices in
popular music, singing sweet and low in the thick shadows. About the lover who, he
discovered too late, was too good to be true.
The multi-dimensional singer, whose 1976 album 'Silk Degrees' was one of the
landmark pop titles of the decade, began working on 'Speak Low' several years ago.
He'd settled on most of the material, and had developed a rough notion of the sound in
his head. "I had a few distinct elements I wanted to hear with my voice," Scaggs recalls.
"I knew I wanted reeds, bass flutes and clarinets. I wanted to try to sing with strings, but
I didn't want it to sound like generic strings." He needed an accomplice, an arranger
who could bring those textures to life; as part of his search, he flew from his home in
the Bay Area to New York to meet with some prospective collaborators. At first he was
discouraged - he remembers wondering whether he'd ever realize the sound he'd
imagined. And then one night, as he and his son were walking through the Village, he
experienced what he describes as a "remarkable coincidence." "It was raining, cold out.
We walked by the Blue Note and heard music coming out of the club. It was vibes,
string trio, a couple of horns - this was the sound I'd been hearing in my head, exactly.
Turned out to be the Gil Goldstein Septet. After the set we started talking, and it was
just a really nice meeting. When we got together around a piano, that was it. We knew."
In subsequent sessions, Scaggs and Goldstein concocted a sly, almost subliminal
approach that emphasizes openness - this is torch singing as it was practiced during the
crooner heyday of the 1950s, with each phrase guided by sensitivity and
understatement. Some tunes showcase Scaggs fronting an agile rhythm section, while
others, including the title track and a sultry "Invitation," are fleshed out ever so gently,
with clarinets burbling in the basement and delicate splashes of color from the strings.
Scaggs says he knew, from the beginning, that those fleeting textures were essential to
the enterprise: "So many people in the last decade have gone back to the standards, the
list is as long as my arm. Lots of them with big orchestras, too. It seemed pointless to
even go there unless we were going to do something to make these songs our own....We
had to find an emotional connection. It's a testament to the songs themselves that they
keep getting redone, but that makes it tricky, too. We played around a lot with different
tempos and feels, pushed the songs in different directions."
- defines 'Speak Low.' One example is Duke Ellington's "Do Nothing Till You Hear
From Me," which is most often rendered in a bouncy medium-tempo swing pulse. After
trying it that way, Scaggs and his crew slowed the tempo down dramatically, to a
captivating crawl. The possibilities, Scaggs says, suddenly multiplied. "When we tried
it like that, we were surprised at how the slow ballad tempo gave the lyrics more
emotional dimension. It's hard to sing that way - I call it 'jumping from post to post,'
because there's a lot of area between the beats. But it really works."
And though Scaggs took care to avoid copying or emulating the classic interpretations
of these songs, in a few cases he found it nearly impossible. His "I Wish I Knew" draws
on the memorable rendition on John Coltrane's Ballads album: "That's where I learned
the tempo, and the phrasing. He legitimized that song for me." And then there's "She
Was Too Good To Me," which was recorded by jazz vocalist and trumpeter Chet Baker.
"It's very hard to escape Chet on that," Scaggs acknowledges. "It will be said that I
leaned on Chet, and I openly admit it. When he goes into that pure, unwavering place,
that's some of the most beautiful singing on the planet."
consider himself a jazz singer: "That's sacred ground," he says flatly, leaving no room
for discussion. "Me, I stick close to the melodies...I am enthralled with the melodies. I
don't go out and jump off the cliff, I try to find my place inside the tunes, by adding
little rhythmic elements." He looks forward to performing this material live on a regular
basis - he'll embark on a national tour of legendary jazz clubs in fall 2008- in hopes
that the experience will help bring him a bit closer to jazz. "What you have to remember
about the great singers, the Sarah Vaughan's and Billie Holiday's, is that they came up
doing this, creating these moments, every night. Imagine the number of sets and the late
nights they must have worked, five nights a week. All that became part of their music."
Scaggs wasn't on the scene for the hot-and-heavy jazz years, but the singer and
musician has been associated with some of the most incendiary talents of the rock era.
Scaggs began his solo recording career in 1969, with an eponymous album for Atlantic
Records that features members of the famed Muscle Shoals rhythm section. That album
has achieved a kind of legendary cult status for the extended blues foray "Loan Me A
Dime," which features an incendiary guitar solo by the late Duane Allman.
efforts for the label - 'Moments,' 'Boz Scaggs and Band' and 'My Time' - are loaded
with durable, insightful original songs. 'Slow Dancer,' issued in 1974, emphasizes
understated textures and sleek, uptown grooves - a sound Scaggs would develop further
on his commercial breakthrough 'Silk Degrees.' That album spawned several hit singles
("Lowdown," "Lido Shuffle," "Georgia," "We're All Alone" and "It's Over"), reached
number 2 on the Billboard album chart, and eventually sold over 4 million copies. It
also brought Scaggs a Grammy award: "Lowdown," which he co-wrote with David
Paich, was voted Best R&B song.
including keyboardist Paich and drummer Jeff Porcaro. Shortly after that recording
those musicians formed the enormously successful '70s rock band Toto. Scaggs went
on to release 'Middle Man' in 1980; it became his third consecutive platinum-selling
title. Later that year, the singer essentially withdrew from the music business, with very
little fanfare.
contains the top 40 hit "Heart of Mine." In 1991, Scaggs joined Donald Fagan as part of
his New York Rock & Soul Revue. After signing a new contract with Virgin Records
and releasing several significant albums including 'Some Change' (1994) and the blues
collection 'Come On Home' (1997), Scaggs joined up with David Paich and Danny
Kortchmar on Scaggs' own favorite, 'Dig' (2001), and followed that with his first foray
into jazz standards, 'But Beautiful,' in 2003, which rose to the number one spot on
Billboard's jazz chart.
bassist Scott Colley, vibraphonist Mike Mainieri and saxophonist Bob Sheppard plus a
small studio orchestra - with helping him realize the sound he heard in his head. "I'm
so incredibly lucky to work with players of this caliber," Scaggs says. "On really every
tune, we'd try different things, and they always landed in a really interesting pocket."
The singer adds that the airy, inviting feeling of the new album is partly due to the
atmosphere of the studio. The album was recorded at Skywalker Sound, a state-of-theart
studio that's part of filmmaker George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch complex. The room
is massive, a soundstage big enough to fit an orchestra. Yet 'Speak Low' sounds like it
was made in someone's cozy living room. "The sense of intimacy you can get there is
quite remarkable," Scaggs says. "You sorta naturally think that you can get closer to the
music in a smaller room, but that's not always true. At Skywalker, the vastness brought
us all together......When you enter you go through these huge heavy doors, and the
enormous space and enormous quiet really gives you a sense of intimacy. The quiets in
that room are much quieter, and all of the dynamics are really vivid. It's a great room to
sing in."
enjoyed the superquiet quiets, the vivid contrasts. They seem to sense that these are
ideal conditions for making subtle music. You can tell they're listening intently,
savoring the little ripples, ready to take all kinds of chances and at the same time
moving gingerly, so as not to break the spell.
In-depth Biography
After first finding acclaim as a member of the Steve Miller Band, singer/songwriter Boz Scaggs went on to enjoy considerable solo success in the 1970s. Born William Royce Scaggs in Ohio on June 8, 1944, he was raised in Oklahoma and Texas, and while attending prep school in Dallas met guitarist Steve Miller. Scaggs joined Miller's group the Marksmen as a vocalist in 1959, and the pair later attended the University of Wisconsin together, where they played in blues bands like the Ardells and the Fabulous Knight Trains.
Scaggs returned to Dallas alone in 1963, fronting an R&B unit dubbed the Wigs; after relocating to England, the group promptly disbanded, and two of its members -- John Andrews and Bob Arthur -- soon formed Mother Earth. Scaggs remained in Europe, singing on street corners. He also recorded a failed solo LP in Sweden, 1965's Boz, before returning to the U.S. two years later. Upon settling in San Francisco, he reunited with Miller, joining the fledgling Steve Miller Band; after recording two acclaimed albums with the group, Children of the Future and Sailor, Scaggs exited in 1968 to mount a solo career. With the aid of Rolling Stone magazine publisher Jann Wenner, Scaggs next secured a contract with Atlantic. Sporting a cameo from Duane Allman, 1968's soulful Boz Scaggs failed to find an audience despite winning critical favor, and the track "Loan Me a Dime" later became the subject of a court battle when bluesman Fenton Robinson sued (successfully) for composer credit. After signing to Columbia, Scaggs teamed with producer Glyn Johns to record 1971's Moments, a skillful blend of rock and R&B which, like its predecessor, failed to make much of an impression on the charts.
Scaggs remained a critics' darling over the course of LPs like 1972's My Time and 1974's Slow Dancer, but he did not achieve a commercial breakthrough until 1976's Silk Degrees, which reached number two on the album charts while spawning the Top Three single "Lowdown," as well as the smash "Lido Shuffle." 1977's Down Two Then Left was also a success, and 1980's Middle Man reached the Top Ten on the strength of the singles "Breakdown Dead Ahead" and "Jo Jo."
However, Scaggs spent much of the 1980s in retirement, owning and operating the San Francisco nightclub Slim's and limiting his performances primarily to the club's annual black-tie New Year's Eve concerts. Finally, he resurfaced in 1988 with the album Other Roads, followed three years later by a tour with Donald Fagen's Rock and Soul Revue. The solo effort Some Change appeared in 1994, with Come on Home and My Time: The Anthology (1969-1997) both released in 1997. The newly energized Scaggs spent the next few years consistantly releasing new material, including Here's the Low Down, Fade into Light, Dig, and a collection of standards called But Beautiful. An expanded reissue of Silk Degrees and Runnin' Blue (a recording of a 1974 performance) appeared in 2007, and Speak Low saw him reinterpreting a number of jazz standards in 2008. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi
