If you love the idea of creating with fabric, here are five books that contain amazing ideas and what you need to know to carry them out. Originally, I was looking for directions for a variety of fabric flowers, but now I've been distracted by all the exciting projects in these books. I bet you'll find inspiration in these, too.

Publication information
These volumes record all of the grants of probate and grants of letters of administration since the secularisation of the handling of wills and probate in England and Wales in 1858. They were issued in book form from 1858 to 1972 then on microfiche. From 1996 indexes are in computer form. It is important to note that these volumes do not cover grants of probate or letters of administration outside of the legal jurisdiction of England and Wales. Scotland and Ireland have always been completely separate legal jurisdictions and have their own systems for dealing with probate etc.
To order copies of wills or letters of administration application must be made to HM Courts Service.[1] For wills in England and Wales prior to 1858 the records of the various ecclesiastical courts must be consulted.
The LDS Church has microfilm copies of many of the earlier volumes of probate calendars. These may be ordered through the nearest Family History Center.

This London, England-based new wave pop band was formed from the ashes of the Intellektuals and 57 Men. Originally called Huang Chung, they comprised Jack Hues (vocals/guitar), Nick Feldman (bass) and Darren Costin (drums). After four tracks featured on two 101 Records compilation albums, they released a 1980 single, Isnt It About Time We Were On Television?. It was memorable enough to persuade Arista Records to sign the band in 1981. Despite an innovative first album, which used prominent saxophone, they had pared back down to a trio by their second album. They went on to achieve just one minor hit in the UK with Dance Hall Days in 1984. However, they proved better suited to the US market where they enjoyed five Top 40 successes including the number 2 Everybody Have Fun Tonight. However, Costin left in 1985 when the band switched to A&M Records, then Geffen Records the following year. Hypnotise Me was used...

New Line has set a summer start date on the third installment of the Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle franchise, with the Warner Bros-based company about to hire a director, and seriously considering doing the film in 3D. The film is Christmas-themed, giving Warner Bros a nice R-rated holiday release for 2011 or 2012. The biggest significance is that the start date signals the return of Kal Penn, who put his career on hold to take the position of associate director of the White House Office Of Public Engagement. The politically conscious actor gave up a lot to take the job–his doctor character, Lawrence Kutner, was killed off from the Fox drama House–but it was done with the understanding that he'd commit to the position for one year. As to the idea of leaving a prestige D.C. post to reprise in a stoner comedy, well, a guy's got to make a living, right? He'll leave shortly.
Kal Penn Returns From White House to Another 'White Castle' Stoner Sequel
36 Comments
Loved the first, the second was fine, will see a third, but I hope they opt NOT to do 3D. This is getting ridiculous.
Do we really need a third installment of this film?? Wasn't this produced by Greg Shapiro who won an Oscar for The Hurt Locker?
Greg committed to do HK3 WAY before Hurt Locker was getting any of its buzz/accolades.
Loved the first 2, looking forward to the 3rd installment.
1. Yes we do.
2. Greg Shapiro would have won an Oscar for the first Harold and Kumar had they not cut The World's Angriest Black Man scene. The Hurt Locker award was clearly the Academy's attempt to make up for past injustices.
Yuck. The second one was practically a carbon copy of the first only about a 1/10 as funny. Doing the math that means this one will be what, a 1/100th as funny? Sad to see Cho and Penn turning into the Meet the Spartans guys.
You need to check your math. The second movie was 10x funnier than the first. Looking like this one will be 100x funnier
Meet the Spartans guys??? Last time I checked Penn was on a hit series and only left to go work with Obama and Cho is part of the Star Trek franchise. Sooooo…ummm…what??
Some of the "episodes" in HK 2 were rip-offs, but not the whole thing. The red-neck stuff was a copy as was the scene in the 'hood.
But overall, the plot was much better in the sequel.
The first one was not funny. The second was not funny or directed well. The two writers are the worst of hacks, who people who don't know what funny is have championed. The biggest joke is how they hide behind the "we want to show minorities as heroes" defense, when it's just an excuse to put in their racial humor and get a free pass. When will the reign of terror end?
Probably somewhere around the time you get a fucking sense of humor.
Time will prove how horrible they are. What's it like to bet on the wrong horse while you watch family guy and Juno and tell everyone how talented and funny they are? raise your standards you tool!
Are you kidding? Hurwitz and Schlossberg's scripts are consistently funny and always deliver the goods. After several meetings with them over the years, they also prove to be two of the most standup guys I've encountered in Hollywood. This town needs more of their kind.
Thank you Jon and Hayden for that lovely comment about yourself.
No, they comment above.
Hack is a euphemism for what they are. That said, they're harmless. Scripts like this and American Pie type movies, even Judd Apatow dick humor, they make people like me look good, who, in turn, couldn't hold a candle to some Man Booker finalist. You need some of these .230 hitters to make the .330 hitters seem special.
The 2nd film was funnier than the first. I'll definitely be there for the 3rd.
HECK YESSSS harold and kumar 1 best movie ever. guantonamo bay loved it. 3d??? Hell yeaaa
the 3d fad will be over soon, they better hurry
hmm…i guess being baked in 3D for 7 figures beats breaking the law and using the NEA for Propaganda.
So glad to see this movie is actually happening. Harold and Kumar are hysterical! Can't wait to see what they get into this time
So, does he not work for the White House anymore? He left House for that gig, and now he's shooting a movie? I don't recall reading about him stepping down or being let go.
"with the Warner Bros-based company about to hire a director…"
Um, Heeeeellllloooo?!?
Look at the comments above and listen to them and learn, you WB-shnooks, the second installment WAS "only 1/10 th as funny as the first"… Same writers who assumed the director position (a mistake!), same cast…
What went wrong? Well DUH!
They didn't hire the all-too-brilliant comedy stylist director known as Danny Leiner (& Associates), that's what went wrong! This guy is what pulled this outhouse biscuit up and out of the blue soup: He's smart, savvy, youth-oriented whilst but experienced, budget conscious, all dat. The guy is a fucking comic genius and that is why the first rose above the material itself and is nothing short of being a CLASSIC.
You WB foolyas want to get it right again, then go back to your roots here, otherwise H&K3 will be locked inside the Andy Gump Dump Box once again, fouled over like #2 was and is…
When will they ever learn?
Once more for the nose bleed section: Daniel Leiner. Director.
'Nuff Said.
Awesome, both movies were wicked. Cunt wait!
Terrific! The H & K movies are fun to watch. I hope NPH returns!
Maybe it's because I remember seeing films like Airplane! on the television and Ghostbusters in the theater, but I thought Harold and Kumar wasn't very good even as a stoner comedy. I guess I'm just sober. I don't understand why the guy who got to play the new Sulu and has other roles would want to go back to this stuff. It should be below him.
kal penn…there's a career that can't end soon enough
Harold and Kumar…. In 3D. Jesus fucking Christ. Are they trying to ruin the entertainment industry? A movie like this is when ticket buy s say "What the fuck am I spending an extra $7 for!"
Finally! Been waiting for this follow up for ages. Please Academy, give these boys the Oscars they so deserved.
Where do I start? Kal Penn was part of the conference call from the whitehouse people, NEA director (who resigned) for furthering the propaganda machine thru NEA grants to artists across the country. I guess you can call him a progressive on the way to socialism. His time is up at the whitehouse and he is seeing bus tires now. I surely wouldn't waste money seeing this guy's movies.
Pretty sure Penn picked up some stoner tips from his crackhead boss, Obama?
Crackhead? Obama? Are you nuts?
So cool!
one eye.no -s at the end of eye only first time.
I enjoyed the first, but didn't care for the second. That said, I'll netflix it
Thank goodness they left the NPH option open at the end of the second movie… Harold and Kumar are great on their own… but with Neil Patrick Harris involved nothing could keep me away. I hope he makes another "cameo".
H&K 1: Pure greatness
H&K 2: Pure shit
H&K 3: ??? What the hell are these people thinking? Are they so desperate for cash they have to pull an Austin Powers? Seriously Kal, beating a dead horse is one thing; but grinding it up into pabulum for idiots is another. Honestly I find it a little sad.
Coming soon, Harold and Kumar 10: Marijuana For Our Arthritis. Hilarity ensues when Kumar discovers a wild and previously unknown strain of pot behind the senior center where he and Harold now reside.
He's leaving his position in the Ministry of Propaganda.
Jesus, people are running away from the Obama administration like rats from a sinking ship. Just proves that Kal is no smarter than your average Joe, getting suckered in by Obama, which is just absurd to any rational thinking human being.
And to the crackhead comment, no he isn't a crackhead, but he definitely did admit to using and selling cocaine, so I guess crackhead isn't too far off huh?

Glasses that monitor every mouthful of food and internet-enabled washing machines that charge by the wash will hit the mainstream within three years and help add millions of subscribers onto
M2M technology is about connecting a wide variety of devices such as whitegoods, monitoring sensors and cars to the internet via mobile network. Telstra currently has over 1 million M2M devices on its network and expects to hit 3 million by 2015.
Mr Cihra said the main use for M2M devices would be remote senors for utilities such as gas pipelines. But he added that consumer products were set to hit mainstream popularity as technology became smaller and cheaper.
"I think one area ... we're going to see really significant growth ... is around wearable computing," he said. "We could be wearing things that track the calories we're consuming or the amount of steps we walk every day ... and most of it will be aggregated back via Bluetooth to your mobile [phone].
"Another other area is the connected home ... so this could mean a connected fridge or dishwasher or a television. I know there are a couple of whitegoods makers that are already selling connected products."
Mr Cihra said that some companies could move away from selling whitegoods to homeowners within five years thanks to M2M services.
"Instead of going down to buy [an appliance] we may soon see an opportunity to effectively rent them based on a services approach," he said. "The company that makes the washing machine, instead of charging you for the hardware, could come to you and sell 1000 washes.
"It would have the visibility in terms of what's going on in terms of when it's being used, how and how frequently."
This information could be collected and sold to help build marketing profiles about the customers. He also said a key driver would be the widespread installation of SIM cards in cars.
The rise of M2M devices is vital for Telstra's revenue because the number of Australians with mobile phones is nearing maximum penetration.
Despite the fact that Australia has a population of 22 million people, there are over 32 million mobiles in service.
Around 15.3 million of these are on the Telstra network with sales in the mobile business making up more than a third of Telstra's revenue. It rose 5.7 per cent from $8.7 billion to $9.2 billion in the 2013 financial year.
Telstra chief executive
But Mr Cihra acknowledged the average revenue per user for an M2M subscriber was much lower than a mobile phone user because the data being sent was normally very small.
"Our current M2M ARPU is about $8.45 and if you look at where we were a year ago it was $9," he said. "I'd expect the decline to continue but it's not a bad thing because the dilution is caused by low-dollar and big-volume industries."

Teachers, Authors, Speakers, Writers And Experts!
Copy My Blogging System To Sell Your Online Course. Follow My Step-By-Step Blueprint, Updated For 2017
Hello again dear reader, today we're hearing from a friend of mine, Anshul Dayal.
Anshul is an ex-architect turned animator who worked on the Oscar winning film, "Happy Feet." Like almost everyone reading this blog, Anshul was bitten by the online entrepreneur bug and after that there was no turning back.
Press play to hear my interview with Anshul –
There are a few reasons I thought Anshul would be a cool person to hear from. For one thing, he's a great example of someone who has begun to see real results as an online entrepreneur. It's very helpful to know how and why he's winning this game we're all playing. I also find it inspiring to meet other entrepreneurs who are a few steps in front of me because they give me the feeling that I'm so close to getting to where they're at and if they can do it, I can!
Anshul's online businesses are kicking over nicely for him and every time I see him, he's done something new and cool to keep his business expansion snowballing along.
Interestingly enough, Anshul started out just like me, with an online store on Ebay. Unlike me, Anshul's turned his online store into a successful e-commerce business. This brings me to the first point he makes that relates to one of his success traits.
When I asked Anshul why he thinks he's been able to replace his income with his online businesses and quit his job, he says he just stuck with one thing and completely followed through with it. Anshul learned from other successful online marketers that this was one of the key elements needed to reach that much desired goal of quitting your day job.
One of the biggest stumbling blocks faced by people building an online business is giving up when they don't see results fast enough. Anshul worked consistently on the one money making strategy for months before he started seeing results. He was very disciplined about sticking to just one strategy.
It's very easy to get excited by all the different options there are to make money online and try to do too many and completely blow your chances of success. Nowadays, Anshul has been able to branch out and set up a number of online businesses. Initially though, he just stuck with the one business and refused to get side tracked or defeated.
Another thing Anshul told me that made a big difference in his success was that he had a clearly defined strategy and he followed it. Unless you have a clearly defined and realistic strategy to make money online, it's going to be very difficult to reach your goals. Anshul was adamant that a lack of strategy and giving up is the real cause of most entrepreneurial failure, and anyone can commit themselves to their business and get results.
It is important for readers to understand that results come slowly though. Anshul worked hard to get results and every successful online entrepreneur he knows has as well. But there is a momentum that you build up in your entrepreneurial journey. Once the initial intense input of time and effort has created some results, it does get easier. You get better and faster at what you're doing, and you truly can spend less time in front of the computer working in your business.
When Anshul had his e-commerce store running successfully, the next online business he began was based on using Google AdSense as his money making strategy. Affiliate marketing is always an attractive option if you have a list to sell to, but Anshul decided Google AdSense was an even better option because it doesn't rely on conversions to make money. As an affiliate marketer, you rely on people actually buying the product you're promoting on your site, but with AdSense you get paid whenever someone clicks on your add.
Because you get up to 68% of the revenue from every person clicking on ads on your sites, creating niche sites and using AdSense to generate revenue can become quite a profitable money making strategy. In 2010 in just one quarter of a year, Google paid 1.2 billion dollars to AdSense publishers.
In order to make this strategy work, Anshul had to create a lot niche sites, I think he has 60 or more.
He recommends focusing on creating quality content first then moving into advertising to make money from the content. If the content on your site is good, people will share it and Google will reward you for this by ranking your site higher in its search engine.
Google always aims to provide the best quality content for its users, so creating quality content is a key aspect in being successful online, regardless of whether your strategy is to generate revenue with AdSense or not.
For people beginning online entrepreneurship, using niche sites and AdSense has a few significant benefits. One is that it's a relatively low risk and low cost way to begin. A micro 5-6 page niche site can be built for less than $50 and it has the potential to pay you long term returns.
Although this business model isn't completely set and forget, once you get the hang of it and fine-tune this online strategy, you can set and forget it more than many other strategies.
Anshul has put together everything he learned and everything he did to create enough passive income from AdSense marketing to quit his day job, and you can access it for free on his site, www.nichsense.com.
He doesn't follow the strategy of giving something for free then trying to up-sell subscribers either, so you truly can access everything you need to know and follow the exact same strategies he used to make money online.
Anshul is living proof that if you are determined and disciplined enough to stick with it and follow the strategy all the way through to the end, quitting your day job and making money online is a dream that can be fulfilled.
The part about how people don't wait long enough is so true. I do have to say that rather than saying "most people don't make money online" it should say "most people don't make a significant amount of money online". It's easy to make a few bucks, but people often give up before they have a chance to up the ante and bring it to the next level.
This is very true. A lot of people make some money online, but most don't make enough to keep it going.
Neroli, Thank you for this post. I constantly need to be reminded to stick with one thing and see it to the end. Thanks again.
Very true, determination is key for the success of any business. Great article.
I am intrigued to know how he managed to make an income through Ebay when it seems that the marketplace is saturated. When I've sold my old junk on Ebay I've had to offer them for rock bottom pricves because of the amount of other people selling the same stuff.
How does he do it?
Neroli I strongly agree with Anshul, staying disciplined and sticking to one thing is key
I think, te main reason why so many people fail online is because they give up too quickly. Unfortunately, there are thousands of websites that try to make people believe how easy it is to make lots of money on the internet spending only a few minutes a day. That's not true at all. You need a plan and a strategy, perseverance, patience and passion for what you are doing – that's the only way to make money online in the long run
eCommerce is probably the hardest nut to crack, in making on online income, especially using your own domain/platform.
I've been at it since 2004. eBay did have a window of opportunity to make a decent income, but as Dean mentioned, this market is saturated. It's not a long term strategy either, one flip of the switch by eBay and your income can disappear.
The gold nugget here is that Anshul stuck with his plan and followed through.
Very inspiring and Congrats to Anshul. Wish he would go a long way. I also fully agree with the point " stick with one thing" and stay focused at your initial days unless you are comfortable and confident enough to divert your business in multiple channels. Have multiple back-up strategy, focused foresight, dedication, patience and being evolved with the advancement of Internet…are some key pointers to get success in any online business.
I agree that Adsense is a great way to add revenue and the main point I think you make is the quality content. It has to be engaging so your readers will come back again and even recommend your site. Good post.
I think that there are these unrealistic expectations about this sort of work. It's an everyday job just like any other. You just get to do it from home.
I really like your focus on focus.
One of my most influential mentors taught me early on that the difference between those that succeed, and those that don't … is focus.
> Micro 5-6 page niche sites
Beautiful point on the power of precision and it's quality, not quantity that amplifies your impact.
I hate to sound like a stick in the mud, however between the poor accustics and the accents, I had difficulty staying involved with the discussion. I'm sure it was helpful to most.

A woman and her children were fleeing domestic violence. The woman's husband was attempting to track the family down; each time he discovered their whereabouts the family moved to a different area.
The family eventually arrived in London and were referred to the local social services department. Social workers told the mother she was an unfit parent and that by moving she had made the family intentionally homeless. They therefore told her she was not eligible for housing. She was told that her children had to be placed into foster care.
An advice worker helped the mother to challenge this claim using the Human Rights Act. They argued that social services were not properly considering the rights of the woman and her children to respect for family life, protected by Article 8. Under this right, social services needed to consider the rights of the woman and her children and to take actions which are necessary and proportionate. As a result, the family were told that they could remain together and that the social services department would provide the deposit if they could secure private rented accommodation.

A PAIR of brothers who launched a violent attack on a man as he slept in his bed have been jailed for a total of six years.
Preston Crown Court heard Christian and Damian Raeburn broke into the rear of a house in Queens Street, Clayton-le-Moors after having a disagreement with an acquaintance a few days before.
Christian, 24, and Damian, 26, both of Trevor Close, Blackburn, then crept into the bedroom of their victim as he slept, prosecutors said.
The victim told police he only woke up when the pair began hitting him around the face and head with a pogo stick and a metal bar.
The court heard the victim, who suffered severe bruising and needed stitches below his left eye in the 'nasty attack', recognised his attackers as the Raeburn brothers. The attack took place around noon on March 25, prosecutors said. Both brothers were sentenced to three years behind bars after they were found guilty of aggravated burglary and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
Christian was told he would have 70 days removed from his sentence for time he has already spent on remand and on a tag, while Damian was told he will have 90 days removed.
A Lancashire police spokesman said: "This was a really nasty assault on man who was sleeping in his own bed in his own home.
"I am glad the Raeburn brothers have been brought before the courts and punished for committing this crime."

Will Smith may have studied Scientology with pal Tom Cruise, but he says his faith rests in his own spirituality.
"I don't necessarily believe in organized religion," Smith, 39, said when asked about Scientology Friday at a junket for his upcoming film I Am Legend. "I love my God, my higher power, but it is mine and mine alone, and I create my connection, and I decide how my connection is going to be," he added.
Describing himself as a "student of world religions," Smith -- who was raised a Baptist -- said: "I believe that my connection to my higher power is separate from everybody's. I don't believe that the Muslims have all the answers and all the beliefs. I don't believe the Christians have all the answers and beliefs, or that the Jews have all the answers."

Rest Easy: London Fashion Week Is Still Okay
>> Thank goodness, in this time of economic woe, the four fashion capitals could find it within themselves to reach a "peace agreement."
London Fashion Week — which over the years had brought us Alexander McQueen, John Galliano, and Gareth Pugh — was in danger of being squeezed into three days. But no more — after a "summit" today in London, New York will move its Fashion Week a week back like it wanted (to avoid the Labor Day holiday), and London Fashion Week will have five days rather than the six it currently has . . . starting in September 2009. As for the more imminent February 2009 shows, those seem to be under less contention, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see how the "finer details of the deal" fall into place.

The Interweb is not part of reality
So yeah Blizzard have backed down. Ask me what I fear most. Almost total anonymity or having your name next to the things you are saying? Honestly I fear much more anonymity.
In the last few days we have seen a part of the web going crazy about a company announcing in advance how it plans to handle its product/service. Yes I'm choosing my words just like the people that were against such policy chose their words. I know it's the web and that it gives a voice to everyone for good or bad but that's also the reason I don't like as much that nice thing that was making me dream when I was younger. Somehow the web had a much more romantic feel in my mind than what I have finally come to accept as reality.
Now ask me what I think of "exposing your real identity with your total agreement". I can't say that's something I wish would happen to all the web or to any media as people with good filters are able to make their own opinion without going crazy. When it's about a game though I just couldn't care less. Even if some people consider that this game have become some kind of iconic pop figure that is much more than a game.
The first thing I'll hear is that "it's not what people agreed for". I know people laugh at things like "experience may change during online play" but there is a reason why it is written on the damn box you're buying. Just like nobody care reading the terms of agreements when installing a new software yet we all agree anyway. At the end of the day you are paying for a service/product and customers always have the power by voting with their wallet. But why make a choice when you can just use a wonderful media to express your anger … about some game … I won't even bother to mention that some people have been imprisoned for what they said on the web and no there was no games involved in this …
Do I want everyone to be able to stalk me even when I'm just "joking around having some fun"? No. That's why you won't find much on my Facebook profile. Sure it would be damn much easier for me to complain that Facebook must be better at protecting my personal info but somehow I chose to not put much on Facebook to start with. I have the power to chose and Facebook will never know that on some monday morning I decided to call sick while I spent the day swimming in my pool. Not a real story if you are wondering …
Oh! I have a blog! I'm writing on it! That means I have no problem with anyone knowing everything about me because obviously I'm an attention whore! I still decide what to put on this blog and if I go too far then the only person to blame is me. Should I blame WordPress for being so easy to use? Should I blame my host for not filtering what I'm putting on my blog? Should I blame Google or the the Internet Archive to keep a copy of everything I put on my blog? Why can't I blame myself for writing something that shouldn't have been post in the first time? Oh right! Here (Canada and US for what I know) we live in a society of rights … with no duties attached to it … People are always innocent and we can always blame the government or some corporation for anything bad happening … We are all innocents … and innocent in french can also mean stupid …
Wait! I think I'm forgetting something … What could it be? Of course! The security argument!!! What if a woman is stalked by some freak and something bad happens to her … Breaking news! Freaks are stalking women and children every single day and for most people it only means 2 minutes on TV … You know that time where you go to the toilet? Oh but what if we could blame a game?!?! I bet we can do 2 hours on TV (if not more) and have people call to say how terrible games companies are …
Oh and if your 10 year old kid have a computer with Internet access in his bedroom it's the exact same thing as telling him to ride his bike on the highway. I know not everyone have the right education to know that but count on me to harass everyone around me to know about that … Do your part please …
So would I agree with a game that wasn't publishing real names before that decides to now publish the real names of people after having announcing doing so in advance (not retroactively I must say)? No. Would I play such game to start with? No … Oh wait! We can't ask people to stop play a game! They have "invested in the company providing the service they are enjoying so obviously nothing can ever change about that company".
So no the Interweb is not real because people value more their anonymity than their freedom of choice. It means for me that the services we are using are not services anymore. It means we have become slave to them, not being able anymore to refuse to use them. It's not real because we are unable to make real choices about it. Even in 2010 we consider it as "something else that is not real life". Guess what. The web IS real life. Welcome to the 21st century …
Again … Do I think it would have been bad for Blizzard to show real names in forums? Yes. Do I wish it they would have gone bankrupt if they would have decided to go on even if the opposition was so strong? Yes. Do I think it is lame that people are not able to vote based on their opinions and values when they actually have the power? Yes …
Don't even get me started on the power of web opinion … People just like to complain because it's so easy to do so. I do not qualify this as freedom of speech or freedom of CHOICE …
I've said before that blogging was odd for me as I know that in 2 minutes I'll read that post again and then think "oh I should have said that instead or I should have used these words instead". That's what blogging is about. A picture in time … And right now these are the words I want to use even though it's not a complete picture of my thoughts and even though I'm not done talking about the oddity of blogging (which is really not the same thing as writing a book or some more extensive writing work). I'll still live with the consequences of those words because at that very moment I can just click that big red X instead of clicking "publish". You know … I have the choice …
Either we're reading different sites, or I'm not understanding most of what you're saying.
I understand the situation as:
- Company announces they are going to change service which people use.
- Many people say, "This is making me rethink using your service." Some of them stop using the service.
- Company says, "Due to public reaction, we're not going to change the service."
Somehow I think you're seeing this as a bad thing, and I'm thinking it's more or less how things are supposed to work.
The alternative:
- Company announces they are going to change their service.
- People quit en-masse, but they don't say anything on their blogs.
- Company goes bankrupt.
Serves neither the company nor the customer well.
The ability to vote with one's wallet supplements the ability to voice an opinion, it doesn't replace it.
I said I wouldn't but any games from EA and i haven't since i said that, not that it helped…EA still hates me and wont do what they are supposed to do but as much as i would like EA to give in and give me what i paid for i think that Giving to much power to consumers is also a bad idea. If i own a business and i want to change something, ill go out of business before i give in to thousands of consumers who would complain no matter what i gave them. so just as company's need to listen i also think there's a line there that should be drawn.
"My bet is that a lot of complaints we have seen wouldn't have converted in people actually quitting."
I think we have been reading different sites… I've been seeing people post account cancellation confirmations, etc. (e.g: http://gnomeaggedon.net/2010/07/07/realid-account-cancelled/)* That's the missing piece which doesn't normally accompany /ragequit posts.
I could provide other examples, but I don't want to trigger your spam filter. And even if I had 100, I couldn't show statistical significance. I do think it's noteworthy they exist at all though.
Blizzard has a pretty long history of ignoring internet whining. My unprovable hunch is that people did quit in this incident in large enough numbers to be noticed.* Note that Blizzard will allow you to play until any already paid-for time on your subscription has been used, so even if people did quit they could still play for up to another month or more- and with the reversal, many or most of those people will re-subscribe.
Other than that I get now what you're saying**– there's a wonderful picture somewhere of the Steam userlist for the Boycott MW2 group (I think that's the one) taken a few days after the game released– and they're all playing MW2.
*- An alternate hypothesis I've seen, that Blizzard/Activision legal found some liability and said stop, I find unlikely- surely at a company that size a policy decision like this would have already been vetted (?)
**- Mind, I don't really agree with your conclusion. From my standpoint, and in my experience, it's a good thing that all speech not actively harmful (eg 'Fire!' in a theater) falls under freedom of speech protections (I'm in the US… your mileage may vary). Even if it's people saying things they don't intend to follow through with. Surely every statement made doesn't need to be viewed through the lens of contract law! (I also think the rights/responsibilities and freedom of CHOICE things are misapplied. But I'm getting extremely wordy, so I'll choose to hit 'submit comment now.)
well u cant yell fire in a theater, and that doesn't break the freedom of speech since it says it some where when u buy the tickets, also now there something called noise pollution and strangely they can get angry people on that.
I'm not so sure. Even if most of the people posting were really blowing smoke, it's healthy for there to be a middle ground between pleasing everybody and watching your business melt in the hellfire of public opinion.
After all, it's not that everyone who was against RealID wanted Blizzard to fall apart or WoW to cease existence, they just wanted it to work in a manner that wouldn't push them away. As they themselves were their own advocates, did it not then fall on them to express as effectively as possible their disapproval?
You can't run your company without customers, and you can't be a loyal customer without a company you can believe in. It's fundamentally a relationship, and like any relationship it's a sign of exceptionally poor health when every problem can only be handled by a dichotomous choice between grin and bear and leave forever.

Theatre 3 is all about the community.
Sure, it would like the community to come see its performances at Live Theatre Workshop, where the group started by Angela Horchem and Matt Walley has taken over Etcetera, the sometimes-late arm of LTW.
But it also wants to involve the community, bring Tucsonans together to create together and imagine together.
Which brings us to its first show of the new year, "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum."
Horchem calls the program "episodic" - which means, basically, over the next several months the troupe will take audience members on trips to different countries.
This weekend, the country is Turkey.
"The idea is that this trio (of characters) has been touring the world and they collect and share stories wherever they go," said Horchem.
The company will use voice, masks, music, dance, shadow puppetry and mime to bring the country to the hearts and minds of Tucsonans.
Oh, and beer.
Rebecca Safford of Tap & Bottle will curate a beer from each country and audience members can buy and sip. If you are 21, of course.
"It's very much a show about ritual," said Horchem. "And we want to pull people into the ritual."
If you go
• What: Theatrum Orbis Terrarum goes to Turkey.
• Presented by: Theatre 3 and Etcetera.
• When: 10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
• Where: Live Theatre Workshop, 5317 E. Speedway.
• Information: 327-4242.
• Cost: $12 at the door; $5 a beer.
• Cast: Angela Horchem, Matt Walley, Paul Amiel, Bruce Stanley and Danielle van Dobben.
• Coming up for Theatrum Orbis Terrarum: Ireland - March 8-9; Japan - April 5-6; Tucson - April 26-27.

Meron Yemane, 27 Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, Financial Advisor
In 2007, 1,100 new financial advisers joined the ranks at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney. Today, Meron Yemane is one of only 100 of those advisers still with the company.
Yemane is a key member of the company's five-person Rockville Bridge Group, which manages more than $500 million for 1,600 households. As a representative of professional athletes and entertainers, a niche he began, Yemane personally represents players and agents in the NFL.
He also spends about 40 hours a week volunteering as president of Harrisburg Young Professionals, and serves on the board of directors for four other nonprofit organizations in the area. Additionally, he's a founding member of The Hill Society, a club created to facilitate the exchange of ideas and information by local business and government leaders.
Spending more than a full-time job's worth of time on volunteer work seems to align well with Yemane's view on finding a balance between work and life. "Balance is overrated," he said. "Do everything to the fullest."

Contained Places
Hoosick Falls is a village in Rensselaer County, New York, United States. The population was 3,501 at the 2010 census. During its peak around 1900, the village had a population of about 7,000. The Capital District Regional Planning Commission projects a further decline in population through 2010 and beyond.
The village of Hoosick Falls is near the center of the town of Hoosick on NY 22. The village center is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Hoosick Falls Historic District.
Painter Grandma Moses is buried in the village. The site of the British entrenchments at the Battle of Bennington, 6 August 1777, is nearby and is maintained as Bennington Battlefield State Historic Site.
Although this has been an issue of considerable debate, it's believed the first documented settlers came to Hoosick Falls on the Hoosic River, around 1746. Encyclopedia Americana reports the date of the first permanent settlement as 1688.[1] The French drove the settlers out in 1754 and most of the settlement was burned, but they returned and rebuilt after the French & Indian War ended. Hoosick Falls was incorporated as a village in 1827.
Walter A. Wood Mowing and Reaping Machine Co. In 1852 a blacksmith named Walter A. Wood began manufacturing a reaper in Hoosick Falls. By the 1890s the Walter A. Wood Mowing & Reaping Company was the largest farm machinery manufacturer in the world, taking up 85 acres (340,000 m2) on the west bank of the river. The Wood Company closed in 1924, mainly due to the introduction of John Deere's revolutionary self-propelled farm equipment. Most of these facilities were used by the Colasta Corporation from the mid-1920s until the late 1950s. This company manufactured radio parts. Later, parts of this site were used as a lumber yard/hardware store. A rash of arson fires in the mid and late 1970s consumed the entire complex. The only buildings still in use today are outside of the main complex, the Interface Solutions Plant (formerly the Wood-Flong Paper Mill), which was Walter A Wood's steel foundry. The original Office Building is still present also.
Along with the Walter Wood plant, Hoosick Falls was a boomtown in the 19th century. Many other businesses came into town, bringing people and money with them. Hoosick Falls once had factories that made Paper, small numbers of Appliances, Parts, Glass, and some nominal Soda and Beer Bottling Plants. A large number of rich Victorian homes were built during this period and are still there today, most in good shape. This was also a regional center of Trade and Export. Local farmers and manufacturers would come to town to sell their goods and load them on rail cars bound for New York City or abroad. These goods consisted of manufacturers, grain, milk, livestock, construction materials (mostly slate and brick), paper & pulp, timber and beverages.

Slander Gene?
I'm frequently appalled at what passes for analysis on the left, so I guess Neal Gabler's unbelievably vapid analysis at the Los Angeles Times, claiming that conservatism was really started by Joe McCarthy, and that what we're seeing from conservatism is a "McCarthyism Gene," is no real suprise.
As political science, Gabler's article is simply incoherent. He liberally switches between "republican" and "conservative" in his descriptions of his targets, but really means neither; when he's done staggering from pillar to post, he arrives leaning on the pillar of "paranoia in American politics" — the tactic of winning elections by scaring people.
If his criteria included populism and anti-intellectualism, as he suggests at first (before abandoning those), he's on good ground connecting Ronald Reagan to Joe McCarthy; both led populist movements that were rejected by Washington elites, Reagan with greater success. But surely he understands that those are not sufficient criteria to define a political movement, doesn't he?
"Use of scare tactics" is hardly a more robust criterion. By the time he lands on "scare tactics" as the common thread of conservatism (or is it Republicanism?) he's tied McCarthy to Richard Nixon, George W. Bush, and Sarah Palin.
He accuses Nixon of "fueling resentments as McCarthy had," without a single word explaining who resented what, or for what reason. It's a meaningless assertion. Nixon probably won the 1968 election because the Democrats were hobbled by the Vietnam war and by the riots at the Democratic convention; the Democrats' position that year was not very different from the Republicans' position this year. He won the 1972 election because George McGovern was a blithering idiot and everybody knew it; nobody expected McGovern to win, and nobody really wanted to run against Nixon.
His sole reason for including George H.W. Bush in the list is the Willie Horton campaign ad, which was hardly the reason Bush was elected; he won because he was a Republican following one of the most popular Presidents in modern history. Michael Dukakis was an unapologetic liberal in an era where the American people identified "liberal" with social policies they detested. The elevation of the Horton ad to the role of chief identifying mark of Republicanism, ignoring every other factor in the election, strikes me as nothing but convenient cherry-picking (I would have said the same about his assertions about Nixon, except that there were not any cherries for him to pick, so he simply asserts his point without support of any kind.)
The anti-intellectual political science continues with George W. Bush. He includes George W. Bush in the list because of his success in tarnishing John Kerry's war record, skipping right over the 2000 election because it does not fit his narrative. It's to no avail. Tarnishing Kerry's record is not even anything George W. Bush did. The Swiftboat Veterans for Truth were a private organization who advertised in only 3 states, and their message was carried by talk radio and the blogosphere, not by the Bush campaign. Ultimately, though, Kerry's dishonor on this topic is the fault of John Kerry, who acted as the public face for the military anti-war movement in the 1970s, complete with false accusations of military atrocities. The opposition of Vietnam veterans to the Kerry candidacy was the most predictable political event of my lifetime, and to blame this on Karl Rove (who probably was not even involved in it) is the worst sort of infantile whining.
Palin, finally, earns inclusion in Gabler's Hall of Shame merely by insisting that the link between Bill Ayers and Barack Obama contains relevant information. Readers of this blog know that that link goes a lot deeper than anything Sarah Palin said about it, and that Barack Obama cannot be defended as anything but a wholehearted neo-Stalinist who has adopted centrist policies just within the last 2 years in order deceive the public and win an election; readers who are new here should begin here, here, and here for background information. Be that as it may, however, one finds it hard to imagine that Gabler could possibly be serious when claiming that simply thinking the Ayers connection is important constitutes the primary criterion linking all conservatives — except, he really is serious.
This is truly the ultimate in slander politics; the mere mention of a negative characteristic of liberalism makes one a "conservative," and thus a "genetic McCarthyite." It's political science without any attempt to assemble relevant facts. There's no rebuttal for this level of silliness; one simply shrugs one's shoulders and mutters, "Whatever."
Absent from this analysis, of course, is any consideration of whether there's anything to be scared of, or (to put the matter more objectively) any problem to be taken seriously. He simply asserts indirectly, without even making a positive claim, that everybody knows there were no communists in US government, that the Soviet Union was not an Evil Empire, and that radical Islam is not a real threat. He's provably wrong on all points. The Venona project has settled the question of whether there were communist plants in the US government; we now know there were hundreds, and beyond that, McCarthy's primary claim was simply that government personnel policies were irresponsible, which they provably were. The millions killed in the Gulag, and the murderous communist revolutions around the world that ceased for some reason after the fall of the Soviet Union (odd coincidence, that) stand as testimony to the evil of the Soviets, and their collapse vindicates Reagan's policies. I've already pointed out that Kerry has nobody to blame for the reaction of Vietnam veterans aside from himself, and that Palin actually had a point about Obama.
Of course, it's pretty difficult to listen to complaints about a proclivity for "scare tactics" or the "politics of resentment" from the political party whose most successful theme for the past two decades has been "soak the rich," that has the government buying up the banking industry over an imminent credit freeze that nobody seems to be able to substantiate, that wants to turn American productive capacity over to a central economic planning organization in order to prevent a global warming crisis that is increasingly imaginary, or that insisted on electing a man with an empty resume' on the dubious thesis that the only opposition to such a candidate arose from a sort of racism that the US has not exhibited since the 1960s. If Joe McCarthy were, in fact, guilty of scaremongering over a chimera (he's not), his most direct political descendants would be Al Gore, John Kerry, and Barney Frank, not Sarah Palin and George W. Bush. I suppose Gabler excludes Gore and Frank because leftist intellectuals, for no reason having anything to do with facts, still think they're right about a few things. It's not a great reason.
I do think Joe McCarthy, Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, and Sarah Palin have in common that they announced reason to be cautious and take sane measures against real threats. I think Al Gore, Barack Obama, and Barney Frank have in common their cynical opportunism based on illusory threats. But I don't think any sound political science could associate them on this basis alone. This is the stuff of bad freshman Poli Sci papers, the kind that earn the sea of red ink in which they invariably swim.
If Gabler wants a genuine recent instance of an anti-elite populist, he should visit Newt Gingrich's American Solutions project. The only problem is that Gabler would then have to admit that America really is a center-right nation; Gingrich produces copious polling data suggesting that politicians could easily draw 70% or more popular support on nearly any political subject by adopting a center-right policy line. His "Drill Here, Drill Now" theme (yes, that came from Gingrich, not from Michael Steele) arose from the poll suggesting that more than 70% of Americans, including a majority of Democrats, think it makes good sense for the US to develop its own internal oil sources.
In the end, Gabler's "analysis" amounts to an unthinking, whining complaint about how unfair it is that when Republicans are on message, the American people find what he calls "liberalism" abhorrent. He's disturbed that so many people think he supports policies that are just, plain bad policies. Tough. They're bad policies nonetheless, and if saying so makes me a "genetic McCarthyite," then I'll be one proudly. Only, of course, it doesn't; it just makes me Gabler's political opponent, somebody he's more comfortable calling names than he is engaging in anything resembling cogent discussion.
The impulse to character assassination of this sort does, in fact, run in political parties; only, he's got the wrong party. Character assassination is the singular, unifying theme of every Democratic party initiative of the past 70 years; it's the only thing they do well. Just ask Joe McCarthy. Or Dan Quayle, Robert Bork, Clarence Thomas, Newt Gingrich, Linda Tripp, Ken Starr, George W. Bush, Sarah Palin…

Slander is not a gene for the leftists. It is a tactic — a tool. As your last paragraph reminds us, it has been an effective one for them for a long time.
I think conservatives make a big mistake when they take the apparent looniness of leftists, as in this case with Gabler, as a perverse flaw of intelligence. "Crazy like a fox" comes to mind.
In the same vein, the left's apparently vapid criticism of Bush for the last eight years was not a failure of intellect. It was a success of political warfare. In trashing Bush during many years, they trashed the 2008 Republican presidential candidate. Perhaps they didn't move a lot of voters with this tactic. But every little bit helped. Was the left's trashing of Bush dumb? Only if it's dumb to win elections.
Was it anti-intellectual? Perhaps. Did the voters care if it was? No, they didn't.

I think they are also pretty good at projection; complete refusal to take any blame, ever, when they fail; demagoguery; and taking unearned credit when something they vehemently opposed previously turns out to work. And often, they are very capable of using several of these tactics at once.
Comment by philwynk
It's not that I don't see the power of the tactic, it's that so many leftists I know exhibit the honest rage of the True Believer when articulating this sort of drivel. They genuinely believe they're spouting truth from On High, and they're morally incensed by it. Sometimes it comes from individuals who are simply too intelligent to be saying such things.
Consequently, to explain how they get there, I have to posit two levels of leftists — a small, influential, top-level group that understands the tactics and cynically generates the sound bites, and a mass of lower-level drones who take the sound bites and recite them. This almost seems too conspiratorial a system to believe, but I can't explain it any other way. Is it possible that the guys who cynically generate the phrases actually come to believe them in time, and forget that they cleverly invented them to gain effect?
The drones are morally culpable for reciting drivel, because a lot of them are too intelligent to excuse, and should be completely capable of discerning errors for themselves. There has to be some powerful psychological process going on that makes them willing to operate using sound bites in place of thoughts, and willing to call that mindless process a superior mode of thought.
I'm thinking about a very close relative of mine here. He's probably got an IQ around 150, or did when we were in high school, anyhow. Yet, I've heard the most incredibly vapid things coming out of his mouth — things that he claims he thought of himself, and thinks are profound. I remember how shocked I was when I heard him explain to me — completely sincerely — that he knew Ronald Reagan was an habitual liar, because Reagan was an actor, and actors make their living by lying. It turns out he was talking about the concept of marketing creating mental images that are unrelated to the characteristics of the product (like attributing sex appeal to pineapple,) but when I explained it to him as a marketing concept, his response was "at least you see what's going on," as though I was somehow deficient in not making the "actor" connection — and as if by explaining the concept, I agreed that Reagan was doing it. That was in the 1980s, and his political opinions have been increasingly empty of anything resembling reason ever since. He thinks in leftist sound bites. It's pretty scary.
So, RL — do you think they actually know they're engaging in a tactic? Honestly, I don't think most of them do. I think most of them think what they're doing is engaging in cogent intellectual discussion, incredibly enough. I think there are a few at the top who know what they're doing, and I think they hold their own echo chamber in genuine contempt for the fools they are. I find this almost too incredible to believe, and I'm eager to find a better explanation for intelligent folks reciting sheer nonsense, word-for-word, unthinking, but asserting that they all know the tactic doesn't seem to fit the facts.
Comment by RL
Phil, actually I didn't disagree with your post. My comment was more a "yes, but in addition …" sort of thing. As you do, I hypothesize that there are some lefties at the top who know what they are doing and many at the bottom who are reciting nonsense.
As you do, I recoil from the word "conspiracy." Part of the reason for me is that people who go on about conspiracies are usually marginalized from the get-go, regardless of whether they are right or wrong. But I also think we have a problem with the word "conspiracy" because it is usually associated with illegal activities. And we're not talking about the left doing illegal things, necessarily. So we hesitate to use the word "conspiracy." (Ironically, and as a matter of ideology, many people on the left are not bound by such considerations of ends and means.)
Anyhow, perhaps we could hypothesize that leftists at the top are acting in a way that is knowingly, collaboratively, cynically, dishonestly, and very usefully manipulative. That avoids that nasty conspiracy word. Next question is: how do we test the hypothesis?
You mentioned your 4-sigma friend who was convinced Reagan was a liar. Perhaps your friend had first been convinced on an emotional level that Reagan was evil. Then it would have been easy for him to believe any sort of nonsense about the man.
So I think it is important to confront untruth with honesty, with facts and data, and with sound, dispassionate analysis. There is no substitute for this, and it must be done. But here's my working assumption: Many, perhaps most, people of the left will be unmoved by honesty, facts, analysis, etc., etc. Some are dupes, some don't care, some are emotionally or financially invested, some are immature, and some are cynically dishonest.
Comment by Phil
Hey, RL,
I didn't think you were disagreeing, and I hope you didn't take my questions to you as confrontation. I'm really trying to figure this out, and it's puzzling and very troubling to me.
By the way, the issue wasn't that my friend thought Reagan was a liar. It was that he thought Reagan was a liar because he was an actor. Reagan did lie to us a few times, but it had nothing to do with his having worked as an actor. Yes, I'm sure he was convinced Reagan was evil. The same fellow told me recently that he thought John McCain and Sarah Palin were insane. The circumstances did not permit me to ask why, but that struck me as a remarkable claim. Why "insane?"
Here's another problem: if the hoi polloi are simply dupes reciting lines they're fed, how does one graduate to becoming a feeder? If that model is accurate, then at a certain point somebody has to clue them in on the game, and I would expect a common reaction to be dismay and disgust, followed by book-length denunciations. We don't see many of those. The closest things I've read along those lines have been Tammy Bruce's books (The Death of Right and Wrong and The New Thought Police,) Christina Hoff Sommers' deconstruction of feminist myth (Who Stole Feminism and The War Against Boys,) Bernie Goldberg's Bias, and Harry Stein's How I Accidentally Joined the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy (and Found Inner Peace). In all of those cases, there's no deliberate "feeding" going on; the distortions of fact and research are being produced by highly-placed true believers.
This suggests that there's really no "fixer" level, but supports instead another notion I hate being associated with: Michael Savage's thesis, "Liberalism is a Mental Disorder." I genuinely dislike Savage, but I think there's something to this.
I was actually pondering it this morning, after answering your message at 4 AM (couldn't sleep. Bleah.) I think the process begins with a conscious decision over some moral issue. There's something the individual wants to do that's morally wrong, and he/she can't justify it without dismissing the moral rule somehow. The process requires a violation of reason, at the end of which the moral rule has been disabled and the desired behavior condoned. The conscious act of eviscerating the moral rule gets buried in the subconscious, where we choose not to remember it. The problem is that the dismissal of reason is cumulative and corrosive, and once it's been performed on one topic, it spreads to affect others. The end result of a life of sin is not just a complete deterioration of moral sense, but of rational processing as well.
I'm fairly sure the process goes like that. However, it's too simple. It's not the case that all sinners are liberals and all saints, conservatives. There are other factors that affect the model.
I'll let you know when I've solved the world. :-P.
Comment by RL
Interesting stuff. Maybe the "progressive" mechanisms that have been put in place are self-perpetuating. Isn't that the definition of a successful culture? I need to learn more about Gramsci and the "long march through the institutions."
I also need to do a little introspection. When I was much younger, I was pretty leftish myself. I've thought about how I got away from being a liberal, but not thought much about how I got there in the first place.
So, get some sleep. Let us know when you have it all solved. 8>)
Comment by RM
For what it's worth, I've long felt that leftists practice liberalism much as a religion, while conservatives (speaking for myself) see conservatism as a set of beliefs with a rational basis which they try to live by.
These are obviously generalizations. However, I think it partially explains why liberals often get so angry when you disagree politically with them. You are not taking issue with their political positions based on the merits, you are attacking their core belief system.
I had a very interesting conversation in college many, many years ago with a very religious friend. She told me she knew for a fact that when she died she would go to Heaven and be with the Lord. I asked her how she could know such a thing for sure, with absolute certainty. She said, "I just know. If you are a believer, you know this and it is totally clear to you; if you aren't, you simply can't understand it. But I know it as surely as I know the sun will come up in the morning."
I think this is how many liberals view liberalism. If you take issue with their politics, it is almost as if you are challenging the essence of them as a person.
You can tell me we should not have ever gone to Iraq. I may disagree, but I'm not emotionally vested in this; and I'll listen to you make your case with respect, acknowledge your points when they are valid and agree that reasonable people can disagree on this.
But if you tell most leftists that there was indeed at the very least, a reasonable case to be made for going to Iraq, it is very rare to not get an extremely emotional and heated response. You will generally get no concessions, whatsoever, no how, no way.
Now how it is that they get so vested, that I've never really understood. I think part of it is that liberalism simply is easier, and feels better at face value. If gas goes up to $4 per gallon and your 401K drops by 30% in two months, it's very tempting to simply join the rage at big business and beat your chest that "they should do something to these people". Now I'm all for accountability, but it goes a little deeper than that and it can be tiring to think it through. Heck, there are times I wouldn't mind if people absolved me of personal responsibility once in a while.
There is a lot to this topic.

I was 20 minutes late when I arrived at the theatre. It was a small joint carved out of an old retail space and the metal door squeaked loudly as I pulled it open. Inside, seven latecomers and an usher turned and stared disapprovingly. About twenty feet in front of us, the first performer was already on stage. The producer of this particular "spoken word" show (who I'd told I was going to be late) grabbed my arm and whispered my instructions. When the current performer finished, I was to scurry down the aisle past the MC and drop into my seat in the front row. I complied. Once there, I discreetly opened the program and discovered that I was the last performer on the bill. My heart sank.
As anybody in show business can tell you, the last performer is the one the producer is hoping will "bring it home." It's sort of the star spot and the pressure is on to "kill." I began to feel a little anxious. The piece I was planning to read was very personal and didn't feel like a real "killer." Plus, I'd had a busy week and felt a little under-rehearsed. I tried to focus on the show. It was a great line-up with no stinkers. Several of the pieces were awesome; full of originality and self-exposure. Finally, only one piece remained before mine. The writer-performer, who was blessed with a ton of quirky charm, started reading his offbeat and stylized story. The guy was hilarious. Suddenly, the audience seemed to consist entirely of his personal fan club. He was "killing." I was fucked.
I originally got into the spoken word circuit because several readers of this blog suggested that I submit one of my columns to "Sit 'N Spin;" one the granddaddy shows on the spoken word circuit. Since it began 10 years ago, SNS has sort of become a rowdy clubhouse for some of the craziest, funniest people in L.A. The shows are always edgy, honest and funny as hell. The audience is about 90% comedy writers and stand-ups. They're super smart – which is great because you can do really complex, subtle stuff and they'll get it. They're also a tough crowd, so you have to bring your best game. They don't give out a lot of pity laughs at Sit 'N Spin.
The first time I read at SNS, my piece was okay. I maimed, but I didn't kill. Then a couple of months later, I got a call from the producer. Some bastard had cancelled at the last minute. Could I step in on very short notice? The timing was perfect. I'd just finished a piece about a rotten experience I'd had "speed dating" that I thought was a scream. The night of the show, the comedy Jesus was with me and I killed. Since then I've performed many times at SNS. Some nights I've slayed them. Some nights, I've left a small stain on the stage. But no matter what happens during the show, everybody always goes out to a bar afterward where we all get drunk and tell each other how hilarious we were. It's one of the most fun things I've ever done in my life and I treasure my SNS family. They're the best.
This however was not the Sit 'N Spin show. I didn't know this crowd. As I sat watching the quirky guy rack up his 800th laugh, I began to feel queasy about my piece. It was about acute personal desperation - a subject I am very knowledgeable about. It had seemed sort of funny before. Maybe I should put back those two jokes I'd cut out. My mouth felt a little dry.
Then, a little nugget of hard-earned wisdom dropped into place with a hard clink. It was too late to worry about it. The piece was what it was. All I could do was man up and tell the story I'd come here to tell. The MC gave me a gracious introduction. I strolled to the music stand. I looked up at the crowd and smiled.
A spoken word show is not quite stand-up comedy. It's not quite NPR. It's not quite theatre. It's somebody's story told to a crowd of strangers. Somehow, if you manage to give them the perfect amount of cleverly-observed details mixed in with a healthy dose of blistering truth, they'll love you. They'll laugh or they'll listen with a soundless intensity that can make your skin tingle. The most successful performers on this circuit are the ones who manage to scare you a little while making you pee your pants laughing. The only way you can score in this arena is to be utterly yourself. Nothing less.
Lights in my eyes. My piece on the music stand in front of me. I take a deep breath and look up. Smile. Talk. Set-up. Punch line. Joke. Boom! A nice healthy laugh. We're off to a great start. They like me. Big Smile. The next joke is more personal. It lands. Apparently, it's my night. Making a long story short…I killed. Not only did I kill, I was a killing machine. It was a comedy bloodbath.
I wish I could tell you that I "kill" every time I read, but I don't. It's one of the small miracles of show business -- those nights when it all comes together; when you can do no wrong. It's ten minutes of comedy ecstasy. It's better than heroin and twice as addictive. It feels better than anything you've ever done. Laughter fixes people. Always has. Always will.
So, if you happen to be free tonight, I'm performing in a yet another spoken word show at the Road Theatre. I'm reading that story about speed dating. Stop by. I can't promise that I'll kill, but I'm definitely going for attempted murder.

Snoop Dogg wants fans to give him feedback on the new material that will appear in his next album.
Snoop Dogg has put up a new Shawty Redd-produced single from his upcoming album on MySpace. The rapper is both letting fans know the first taste of the single which is titled 'Sexual Eruption' and asking their feedback.
The song will be the lead single from Snoop's 2008 album 'Ego Trippin''. He had decided to give the album such title because he plans to fully go solo on this piece. He said, "This record, I'm seriously ego-tripping like, 'I don't want you on my album. Nah, I don't need you.' "
Snoop also revealed in April this year that he was inspired by Amy Winehouse who took on 'Back to Black' album by herself.
In related news, the organizers of MTV Europe Music Awards have warned him to tone down his use of foul language. He will be serving as the host of the event that will take place tomorrow (November 1) at Munich's OlympiaHalle.
