Giving Thanks for what Katrina Didn't Take Away
Giving Thanks for what Katrina Didn't Take Away
On this Thanksgiving Day, some in Louisiana are celebrating what they didn't lose during this year's hurricane season. Michele Norris speaks with Mark McMurry, an administrator for Calcasieu Parish in western Louisiana. The parish wasn't hit as hard as New Orleans, but residents still had to deal with the aftermath of the strongest storm the area has seen in years. McMurry is hosting a Thanksgiving dinner at his home this evening.
MICHELE NORRIS, host:
While many of us are giving thanks today for what we have, some are giving thanks for what they have left and looking toward the future. Nearly three months after Hurricane Katrina struck and two months to the day after Hurricane Rita hit Texas and Louisiana, there are some very special Thanksgiving gatherings all along the Gulf Coast. Mark McMurry is hosting one of them. He's the administrator for Calcasieu Parish in western Louisiana. Rita did some of its worst damage there. Mark McMurry joins us.
Now how are things going for you this day?
Mr. MARK McMURRY (Calcasieu Parish): Going great, Michele. It's a beautiful day down here. In fact, it's probably the prettiest day of the year and we just realize we have a lot to be thankful for here.
NORRIS: Tell me about your Thanksgiving gathering. You're the host. Who's coming over?
Mr. McMURRY: Yeah. Well, we have family coming in from Houston and other parts of Calcasieu Parish that are gathered here, and we're getting ready--the turkey and the cranberry sauce and the rice dressing are almost ready and we'll be having that shortly after we talk.
NORRIS: How did you fare in Hurricane Rita? Did you sustain any damage to your house?
Mr. McMURRY: We have a camp south of here, which is a little closer to the Gulf, probably about 20 miles from the Gulf, that sustained some damage. I lost my boat house and the wharf and everything, but at my home here in Sulphur I had minimal damage, some roof shingles were torn off. There was quite a bit of vegetative debris--trees down and that sort of thing. But overall, compared to a lot of the damage that was around I felt very fortunate.
NORRIS: So much of the focus on the damage and the recovery effort is focused on New Orleans. How are things going there in Calcasieu? What's happening with the recovery effort?
Mr. McMURRY: Well, it's been good. In fact, there's even been some expressions of a little bit of frustration here that we've kind of been off the radar. You know, I think we probably didn't sustain nearly the damage that they did down in New Orleans to homes as were flooded, but the amount of damage to trees here was significant. In fact, some of the contractors told us that they have worked the storms in Florida in the central Gulf Coast and Katrina and have never seen the amount of tree debris--limbs and trunks of trees uprooted and all. They've never seen the amount that we had here.
NORRIS: These back-to-back hurricanes just interrupted so many things that people took for granted in life, and the sort of daily rhythms that you got used to were altered in so many ways, and I'm wondering if a holiday like this--celebrating the holiday was all the more important for you to hold on to those traditions.
Mr. McMURRY: I think everybody here felt that way, Michele. Here in this parish, we have several Thanksgiving gatherings across the parish were Lions Clubs and other service organizations are putting together Thanksgiving dinners for people who've just--you know, are living in trailers right now--travel trailers because their homes have been damaged and they're coming together. It's been a tradition for many years. I think this is the 21st year, and in the past it's been for folks who were alone and didn't have family around. But this year it's got additional significance because of the number of homes that were damaged. People are out of homes. They were living in travel trailers and they're living with family in many cases, and so I think this one this year is going to have particular significance.
NORRIS: I hear your guests there in the background.
Mr. McMURRY: Yeah.
NORRIS: What are you serving today?
Mr. McMURRY: Well, I've smoked a turkey on a rotisserie grill, and we've got rice dressing and probably umpteen vegetables, and then plenty of dessert, but we've got a pumpkin pie, we've got more than any of us probably need to be eating.
NORRIS: Well, that turkey--that sounds delicious. Is it already on the table?
Mr. McMURRY: Well, it's about half-carved. When you called I was about halfway through carving it, so it's close.
NORRIS: Well, Mr. McMurry, all the best to you. Thank you so much, and happy thanksgiving.
Mr. McMURRY: Thank you, Michele. I enjoyed speaking with you.
NORRIS: Mark McMurry is the administrator for Calcasieu Parish in western Louisiana.

Foreign exchange is a risky world. Why? Forex is a world of investment and trading. Money is involved in every transaction you will make. Forex trading happens when you invest your money in another currency. There are a lot of things you have to learn and be cautious of when you decide to delve into Forex trading. You have to learn how the market works, how to find the best Forex brokers, the best Forex companies and the Forex eBooks that can help you go about your trading.
You have to beware though; a lot of scams are all over the internet. You have to make sure that you are not wasting your money on a false account or frauds. What are you supposed to do to know if the Forex Company you are joining is reliable? You have to find credible companies that will help you earn profit in the world of Forex. Likewise, you have to make sure that the company is legitimate.
Credible Forex companies will guide you in every step of your Forex adventure. There are companies which will provide you software that will train you in dealing with other traders and doing transaction. You have to find a company which you will be comfortable with-the role of the Forex Company is important especially that you are a beginner.
If you have a prospect company, then what you have to do is to check the background of your company. How to do this? Check the internet for online reviews on your prospect company. The internet is the melting pot of internet reviews for Forex companies-there are training companies, companies that serve as brokers, software companies and a lot more. Online reviews as well as forums are helpful in providing you information about the company that you would want to join.
There are also Forex companies who will allow you to open demo account. A demo account can be considered a practice account which uses virtual money but will allow you to experience trading. It is also affected by the market and economy changes so it will train you to think of your strategies and will help you understand how the indicators work.
Reading reviews on Forex companies will also guide you in choosing which company will help you begin the right way. There are companies which really find time to develop your trading skills, and will really help you earn profit. Online Forex companies also update you about different stuff that affect the foreign exchange market-most of these external factors are politics, world major news, economic problems and stuff like that.
If you want to learn more about Forex companies as well as strategies and signals in Forex trading, you can search for online Forex courses as well as Forex eBooks. Learning the fundamentals of the Forex trading market may take some time but just continue studying and learning about it. Also, do not hesitate to open your demo account and continue practicing your strategies and thinking about your game plan.

An UniCARRIERS Forklift Truck Manual PDF is above the page.
UniCarriers Group develops, manufactures and supplies industrial forklifts and warehouse equipment worldwide. It was created in 2011 by merging three brands: Atlet, Nissan Forklift and TCM. Under the new brand, the company unites more than 65 years of product and market know-how. Today, the forklift manufacturer, based in Tokyo, has twelve branches in Europe, America and Asia. In fiscal year 2013, the group employed 5,208 people worldwide and reached a turnover of 1,314 million euros. The European headquarters is in Mirbusch, and the German branch is in Oberhausen.
The situation in the economy forces buyers to constantly look for ways to reduce operating costs, demand from their suppliers more efficient solutions and optimal prices. Business is increasingly using framework agreements, and buyers are moving to the concept of a single park instead of different trucks. Therefore, the company seeks to increase the efficiency of its customers.
The UniCarriers group was created precisely in order to fully meet these requirements. As a result of the best of three brands: Nissan Forklift, TCM and Atlet, the company is ready to offer its customers a high-quality product with the best innovative solutions. "We are fighting for outstanding achievements and are constantly striving for excellence," says UniCarriers Europe Chief Operating Officer Keiji Ikeda.
"Each car presented today represents advantages for customers in terms of reducing costs or other direct economic benefits," confirms David Ruxton, CEO of UniCarriers Europe.

Birmingham city centre streets shut after London attack
Roads were closed in Birmingham city centre in the wake of the London attack, with West Midlands Police saying it was a "reassurance move".
Broad Street, the centre of the city's nightlife, and a number of side roads were shut to traffic at 23:30 BST.
The swift response led to some speculation on social media the city was also under threat.
"We closed Broad Street purely as reassurance in response to what happened in London," a spokesman said.
Officers stopped traffic entering Broad Street, which is home to several bars, restaurants and nightclubs as well as the Symphony Hall, International Convention Centre and the city's library.
The Broad Street taxi rank was moved to nearby Sheepcote Street while the main route was cordoned off.
Rumours circulated on social media the heightened police presence was in response to a specific threat but the force was quick to dispel them.
Many praised officers for their response.
Rob Barnes, who lives in the city centre, said: "I was watching the terrible events unfolding in London on TV when I saw the police closing off Broad Street to traffic.
"The speed at which they closed off Broad Street did make me wonder if something had happened here too, but then saw tweets confirming it was just a precaution.
"I was so impressed with how quickly the police were able to do that, so grateful at how they are keeping us all safe."
Chief Constable Dave Thompson said: "We were quick to respond following Saturday's attack and purely as a reassurance move we temporarily restricted access to Birmingham's Broad Street while businesses remained as usual. The restrictions were lifted at 3am having been implemented at 11.30pm.
"Other key locations across the region also saw enhanced patrols. Again, this was simply to reassure people worried by events in the capital and not in response to any local threat."
Heightened security is taking place across the region, including at Sunday's ICC Champions Trophy cricket match between India and Pakistan at Edgbaston and in Coventry for MotoFest, which is expected to attracted 120,000 people.

Grade Subject
Thank you for your input.
What You Need:
- Paper plate
- Cotton balls
- Black and white construction paper
- Scissors
- Pencil
- Glue stick
What You Do:
- Ask your child to name the shape of a paper plate. Place the plate in front of him.
- Encourage him to name the shape of the end of a cotton ball. Explain the difference between a circle and an oval. Have him cover the entire paper plate in cotton balls, gluing them directly to the plate.
- Have him draw and cut out two black circles for his bear's eyes, and two large white circles for the bear's ears.

Mukesh Ambani's house named Antilia is one of the most expensive house of the world. Situated in Mumbai, the 27-story skyscraper is maintained by more than 600 employees. There are three helipads on its roof and a capacity to park as many as 168 cars in its parking lot. Other prominent highlights of the palatial house are a spa room, a dancing studio, a theater room with a capacity of 50, ballroom, multiple guest suites, terrace gardens, a temple and a lot more.
The mansion with an estimated worth of Rs.17,000 crore has been a highlight of media for some reason or the other ever since it was built.
It is quite obvious that the extravagant mansion which houses hundreds of people including the employees and the owners altogether would be having a lot of household waste every day. But have you ever wondered what is done to the huge amount of waste that is generated in Antilia every day?
The waste is used to generate electricity. First of all, the dry waste is separated from the wet waste. The wet waste is then dumped while the dry waste is recycled to produce electricity.
The fact that Antilia does not throw away the waste like most other houses in the country do is quite astonishing as well as inspiring. The pace at which the world is approaching energy crisis, recycling waste for generation of electricity is thoughtful as well as much needed. Other houses should also take inspiration from Mukesh Ambani's initiative and use their waste in productive ways.

One in a semi-regular series of ponderings, musings and contemplations on the interaction of words and psychology in business.
April 2014
Writing is a personal, creative business. Writers tend to have their own ideas about which tools work for them and which don't. And what works for one person often doesn't work for others.
I'm a typist. The invention of the word-processor was a turning point in my writing career, and fortunately the home computing revolution took off while I was still at school. If I'd had to persevere with fountain pen and paper then my working life would have looked rather different. Medical professionals may have a reputation for appalling handwriting but mine could have embarrassed a drunk spider half-drowned in blue ink, and I was slow too.
By contrast, a good keyboard removes the barrier between my mind and the written expression of my thoughts. With a typing speed not far shy of 100wpm, I can think my words onto the page almost effortlessly.
But good keyboards are surprisingly hard to find. I'm writing this article on a laptop that's almost seven years old. There's nothing special about it - 15-inch screen, 2GB RAM, 40GB hard drive, 2GHz processor - but it's a clone of an old Fujitsu design and the keyboard is perfect. Soft and light but with good tactile feedback, full-sized keys and a decent offset from the wrist-rest. It's ideal for me.
Well, some of the time. Being a laptop it can do all sorts of other things besides allowing me to write. In particular it has an internet connection, which is the bane of every serious writer's productivity. But often I do need access to the internet, because I have to check my email and respond to clients, or research the background of something I'm writing about. I also need to make backups of the work I do, using the encryption tools I've installed on this computer. So it's not a pure writing machine.
Is there such a thing as a pure writing machine? Yes. It's a small market but they do exist, often tailored to the requirements of the educational sector and particularly for children with special needs.
Apple's old eMate - a beautifully quirky, translucent green plastic laptop with monochrome LCD screen and day-long battery life - was popular with writers for a time, but connectivity is a nightmare these days. Ageing journalists might rave about the TRS-80, though that was actually a full x86 portable computer that just happened to run on batteries and so was handy for writing while in the field. I've used all sorts of weird and wonderful writing devices in my time, including the Psion 3a, 3mx and 5mx PDAs which were great for knocking out a few hundred words while on the move.
Alphasmart, which later became Renaissance Learning, has been a supplier of writing machines for years. Many novelists rave about the qualities of the Alphasmart Neo or Neo 2, machines that are effectively portable keyboards with a small sunlight-visible LCD screen and enough memory to hold a small novel. Type your words wherever you happen to be, then return to your home computer, plug in the USB cable and watch your words typing their way into the document of your choice. It's an elegant and strangely relaxing process, enhanced by the knowledge that the Neo machines will run for up to 700 hours (that's not a typo) on three AA batteries and are robust enough to survive school environments. So it's a shame RenLearn discontinued them last year.
Alphasmart also used to make the Dana, a more expensive machine with a larger screen, running the Palm operating system. The Dana's screen isn't as high-contrast as the one in the Neo / Neo 2 due to the extra layer of touch-screen material on top. And the battery life is much shorter, at a mere 25 hours or so. I have both machines: on balance I prefer the Dana for editing as I like to see more of what I've written than is possible on the Neo's smaller screen. But for first drafts with no distraction, the Neo wins hands-down.
My children love the Neo, and it's encouraging them to write far more than they otherwise would. If I have a few thousand words to write, I'll lock myself away somewhere with either machine and get typing. No distractions, no internet access, nothing to do but write.
I have other options too, including an old Nokia N810 Internet tablet and folding USB keyboard. The latter I've customised heavily by dismantling it and fitting the keys and membranes from an old Palm folding keyboard, which is one of the best keyboards I've ever used. It's an odd and rather nerdy combination, but being able to hit over 80wpm on a foldable, pocketable piece of typing kit can be useful, especially if I want to churn out a thousand words while on a train.
If such esoteric equipment is impractical for you, there are software solutions that can mimic the distraction-free environment provided by some of the equipment I've described. If you're running Windows, the free Q10 writing tool is a nice full-screen text editor that can be configured to suit your tastes. PyRoom is a script-based equivalent that should run on any platform with a Python interpreter installed. JDarkRoom does a similar job under Java. My personal favourite is FocusWriter, a Qt-based word-processor that I use under Linux. It can handle a variety of rich-text file formats and you can set 'themes' to suit your writing preferences: green text on a black background suits me best.
The biggest enemies of good writing are distraction and procrastination. With the right tools you can at least reduce the impact of the former. Sadly, only will-power can help you with the latter.
Alex Cruickshank has been a professional writer since 1994 and needs to be able to write whenever and wherever the mood takes him.

Ever since I can remember, the links between machine and human language have fascinated me. In particular, the building-block nature of grammatical rules has always captured my imagination. It is the driving force behind my particularly unique love of heavily inflected foreign languages!
A favourite and long-standing project of mine is programmatic morphology, or recreating the natural word-building rules of language with technology. By mirroring the rules of the verb system, I have developed a number of 'declension engines' that have an obvious applications in language learning software. Subsequently, I have used them to assemble a set of verb reference / practice apps for iOS, which you can download using the links below.
I hope you find them useful!

School Name Consultation – Haddington Infant School and King's Meadow Primary School
Following the consultation that was undertaken in Spring 2018 to close Haddington Infant School and King's Meadow Primary School and establish a new primary school and its associated catchment area for Haddington, East Lothian Council are now seeking suggestions for a new school name.
School Name Possibilities
Below are some ideas on which a potential school name could be based. Please note, these are just examples and ideas as a starting point, and not an exhaustive list to pick from.
The school name could be based on the location of the Primary school. For example:
"Tyne" – The name of the river that runs through Haddington
"Neilson Park" – A local park next to both schools
"Aubigny" - Comes from Aubigny-sur-Nère a French town with which Haddington is twinned
Alternatively, a Notable Person could be used in the school name. For example:
"John Knox" – A Scottish minister, theologian and writer who was born in Haddington
"William George Gillies" – A Scottish Landscape and still life painter who was born in Haddington
You can submit your suggestion, along with an explanation of why you think it is suitable, in the questionnaire below. The most popular suggestions will be shortlisted and a vote for the most popular name will then be undertaken by pupils, parents and the wider community.

If there is one thing almost any layout needs, it is a title. When I first started digiscrapping, I was all about using fonts for titles. But now I totally love using great alphas on my layouts. Because alphas can be such an important part of any layout, every scrapper needs a few good alphas they can turn to again and again. Here are just a few good alphas you can turn to again and again for your layouts.
All of these alphas would make a great addition to any stash and you could turn to them again because they are so versatile. Looking for something different? Then check out the Alphabets Category in the Oscraps store to see a huge variety of alphas. You are bound to find exactly what you need.

Beginner's Introduction to Demonology
- - by Krixx Shadowstride
Krixx dipped his quill in his ink well, and sat thinking to himself. He was in the Gallow's End, one of his favorite retreats, and he had his succubus, Domthea, at his side, and his dragon Sparky sat proudly on the table before him in all his black might. The air smelled of death, and had a peculiar musty odor on top of that. The area looked like it had been hit by a tornado. Twice. Krixx hated tornadoes. He thought hard for a few minutes, paused, and proceeded to scratch down the first words of his document in a barely legible, lazy script:
Many secrets adorn Azeroth. Many secrets that are hard to find, but that I have found. For I have seen, and I have heard all the wonders of the world.... as well as all it's mysteries. If the would-be pupil cares to listen to my observations, that individual could consider himself enlightened. What you are about to read is not for the faint of heart, but then, the faint of heart never achieve true power. P.S. If you're of the furbolg or murloc persuasion, then prepare for death! I know your type! P.S.S. Goblins too. Beady-eyed bastards.
Krixx lifted his quill form his paper, thinking hard. He patted Sparky's head, smiled in his vile way, and tried to come to a good decision of what to write next. He glanced at Domthea for a bit of reassurance, but found none. She simply shrugged at him as she read what he'd written.
Figures. He thought. She's never been much of a writer, that's more Laztal's territory.
He lifted his quill and began to write again:
As I have said, Azeroth is home to many mysteries. One such mustery, and the focus of this well-written document, is the nature of the Fel magics. Fel magics, also going by the name "Dark magics," or even "magics of the Burning Legion," are often considered the tools of the "wicked" and "evil." Many say the use of them leads only to corruption, or that we become slaves to those we seek to control....
Krixx lifted his head to look at Domthea, and snorted in disbelief.
Right. As if she would ever do something like that. Am I the only one that sees the truth?!
....However, I am writing this terrific document to disprove these theories and superstitions, and to explain to a hopeful practitionery of the dark arts the TRUE nature of them. I shall also explain my views on what being a warlock actually entails. I shall begin by describing the type of person required to practice these magics successfully. First, do not feel guilt when you use them against others. Being ruthless is just as important as being talented. If you think yourself honorable, then turn back. Codes of ethics mean nothing to me, for "evil" is not a true entity. That said, I can now begin with the true focus of this document....
Krixx slammed his quill down, and began recalling the many quirks of his demons. How his imp loved candy and singing, how his fel hunter loved gnoll meat and playing fetch, how his voidwalker loved trying his hat on and crushing rocks, and how his succubus was such an excellent cook. He had a grin on his face as he began scribbling once more:
...which is to explain the true nature of the relationship between a master and his servant. One who seeks to have ture power must not be afraid of embracing the Chaos entirely. One must not be afraid to become kin with his or her demon. Their pain shall be yours, and your pain shall be theirs. Many will tell you this is the path to becoming a slave, however...
Krixx thought about that last line angrily. He remembered how, only days before, Lilithia had talked to him.
"Why do you allow her to speak?" she had asked, in reply to one of Domthea's jokes.
Because a good master knows the plight of a demon under the control of somebody like you. A good master knows true power can only come from friendship with those he controls. He had thought, but he could say nothing of the sort. He knew Lilithia would never understand. Nobody would!! He was the only one with his sanity still intact!!!
...this is not so. A warlock must fully embrace his knowledge of the chaotic magics of the Legion. He must treat his demons as equals, for without them, he will most surely perish. You will not be loved for following this path. The Alliance and Horde both are too stupid and superstitious to ever understand such practice. They do not understand that demons are living things with conscious thoughts of their own. They are not simply lions or bears, working for a peice of mutton, and thus they should be allowed certain freedoms, to the benefit of both master and pet. Form enough of a bond, and you will begin to understand what it means to have your souls intertwined. Take this knowledge with you, hopeful learner, and do not speak of it to outsiders, I may get killed. That's bad.
For eyes and ears can be in the most ironic of places. I know that too well myself. Too well indeed.
He slammed the table with his fist, a serious look about his face, with his eyebrows raised. He pushed down his pointed, purple hat and turned to Domthea.
"I believe it isss done! Behold, and revel in the glory that is this glorious document!" He said, wheezing afterwards.
"It's certainly glorious. Did you write what we agreed on?" She asked with a poisonous sweetness.
"Yesss. This should aid us in showing more people the right path. It should further our most excellent cause nicely, I suspect." He grinned, his rotten teeth clacking together loudly.
"*Our* cause, Master Krixx?" she asked, grinning devilishly, a mischevious glint in her eye.
"Yesss... OUR cause. Now, come, I wish to try those new barbecue ribs of yours. I have some ordered in Orgrimmar, and if that orc doesn't have them ready, we'll eat HIS ribs, how does that sound?"
He gathered up his paper and quill, allowed Sparky, snorting flames, to sit on his shoulder, and began to walk towards the door, his succubus right by his side as always.

Last Time I Took Acid
Currently making a noise on the NYC "anti folk" scene, along with close mates Moldy Peaches, Jeffrey Lewis is an all round cartoonist, raconteur & singer with a unique take on NYC life. His debut mini lp, "Last Time I Took Acid I Went Insane", is now out on Rough Trade Records & includes "The Chelsea Hotel Oral Sex Song", which was released as a ltd 7" by the same label a while ago. This particular song tells the tale of Jeffrey overhearing a snippet of converstaion outside the Chelsea Hotel alluding to Leonard Cohen & blowjobs - as with much of his material, the humour is as evident as the fidelity is not. Jeffrey also drew the cartoons that adorn The Moldy Peaches lp sleeve.
Nick Kuntz caught up with Jeffrey recently to discuss anti folk, aunty Kimya & (sadly) the effects of the World Trade Attrocity on the good folks of NYC;
An Audience With Mr Jeffrey Lewis;
trakMARX - You work as a cartoonist as well as a song writer, we understand. Is yr. music an extension of yr. cartoons or a reflection?
Not quite sure what the difference would be. I've drawn comics my whole life, and I guess there's a big degree of influence on the songs from comic books, particularly 90s alternative comic stuff like Peepshow and Eightball which is just inspiring in general. I sort of try to combine it all in whatever way I can think of; I have big illustrated versions of a couple songs that I turn the pages of when I sing them, and I make a lot of miniature comic books to promote my shows when I'm playing somewhere. Stuff like that.
trakMARX - What takes priority?
Definitely comic books and drawing. Well, that's what I tell myself, but the song stuff has occupied more and more of my life in the past couple years.
trakMARX - We have heard rumours of the "Anti-folk" scene - can you quantify what its all about from yr. perspective?
On one hand it's "folk-punk", but that doesn't describe a lot of the people on the scene. The thing is, it is a scene of some sort, and that's just the name we've ended up using to feel like we're all part of the same thing. By a scene, I mean stuff like me and Brer Brian and Seth Quankmeyer Faergoalzia and Kimya and a bunch of others hanging out together at a campfire eating marshmellows, or Major Matt Mason's apartment a few blocks away from me where I can go record stuff, or me taking a walk last night and bumping into Joie Dead Blonde Girlfriend and Cockroach hanging out eating pizza; it's just the coolest thing in the world to be part of this community of incredible creative minds, everyone goes to eachother's shows, critiques eachother's records, plays on stage and on recordings and on the street with each other, makes up songs together, it's really just great. There's a real sense of community, and Anti-folk is the name that makes it easy for us to refer to it all even though there's a wide stylistic variety that is included beyond just folk-punk. There's insane and perverted musicals too, like Eminem Vs the Gay Pimp, and Fun Wearing Underwear, and Prepare to Meet Your Maker, that a lot of us are involved in writing/acting/participating in.
trakMARX - You are close friends of Adam & Kimya of MPeaches - you obviuosly have some uncredtited friends helping out on the lp - do they put in an appearance on "Last Time I Took Acid...."?
Nah, any other voices/noises/etc are probably my little brother (not so little anymore) and I did credit everyone who helped record the stuff or who appear on each track. Kimya and I do have a short CD of songs we made up together, and I did that uncredited drawing of Adam and Kimya and Jack on stage that appears on the back of the Moldy Peaches CD booklet, which was kind of a nice surprise when I saw their official CD the other day because that drawing wasn't on the photocopied homemade version that I have.
trakMARX - The chorus to the title trak seems to echo The Ramones - 1st rule, 2cnd rule, 3rd rule etc - was this in any way homage?
No, just a list.
trakMARX - You seem to us to be loosly following a tradition of expression laid down by David Peel & The Lower East Side. Are you familiar with David & has he been influential in any way?
Oh yeah, I love David's stuff, and I see him around the neighborhood once in a while. The roots of Anti-folk, and punk itself, are certainly right here on the Lower East Side with the Fugs and the Godz and David Peel, I love all that stuff!; My parents have lived in the neighborhood since the early sixties, and used to see the Fugs play- my mom has the first Fugs album in its original Broadside label pressing which is pretty rare, she bought it at one of their shows in like, 65 . That stuff made a big impression on me when I found that record around the house a bunch of years ago! Absolutely classic. I played melodica for David for a couple of performances a couple years ago, and whenever I see one of his albums for sale at a local record store I tell him, because he can buy it for 25 bucks on 7th St and sell it for 75 bucks to collectors in Japan. He's got a huge catalogue of recordings, I actually only own the first two albums, the ones on Elektra. And I have a comic book about when I met Tuli Kupferberg in 1997.
trakMARX - Did the L.Cohen Oral song aktually happen in real-life?
trakMARX - We've had Hi Fidelity & Lo Fi - now some critics are accusing you of being No Fi. How do you feel about that?
I think it's silly how people use the term "lo-fi" but then consider perfectly professional sounding recordings on four-track machines to be lo-fi - so what's left to call stuff that's just recorded on a radio? And I think fidelity can certainly get a lot lower than the stuff on my CD, not that I feel that's something to aspire to, but I really don't think those recordings are SUCH bad sound quality. It's like people have never heard recordings that are REALLY bad sound quality so anything that doesn't sound as slick as U2 is considered bizarre even though it's basically just a plain recording of the songs the way they actually sound when you just hit record and play them. I don't mind being called no-fi, but then what do you call stuff like Daniel Johnston's Retired Boxer album, "minus-fi"? I think maybe "homemade" is a more descriptive label.
trakMARX - The MPeaches have recently expanded to a full working band - have you any similar plans?
Well, I actually play solo pretty rarely, I get kind of embarrassed to be alone on stage sometimes, more likely I'll have my brother with me for part of a show, and anywhere from one to six friends on stage at various points. It's not like a band, it's much more relaxed. Like if I'm gonna do a show I can just ask Spencer from Balloon Heaven if he wants to play mandolin with me, or John Kessel if he wants to play theremin or ask Kimya or Diane Cluck if either of them want to come up and do some of the songs we wrote together, etc, that's another one of the great things about having this musical community around here, and everyone knows how the songs go, and every show ends up being totally different! "The Last Time I Did Acid I Went Insane" can become sort of a group therapy session with people from the audience coming up to relate their own experiences and add instrumentation, stuff like that! Well, it doesn't always come out good, and sometimes I kinda suck as a live act, but the thought of having a regular band and practice sessions where everyone has to gather at the same place at the same time just seems incredibly stressful and problematic, so this other system has evolved out of laziness on that level, trying to play with other people and sounds, but do it the easiest way possible. Plus in New York City there's always going to be a hassel with drums - who the hell can have a drum kit to play in their apartment? I think the practical problems of trying to have a "regular" rock band in NY has probably led to the Antifolk scene being so lyric-oriented instead of musically oriented. And I must say I really preferred the original "Moldy Peaches 2000" with its sloppy line up of kids wearing chicken heads, I thought their songs were more chaotic and fun when it was less like a "professional" band.
trakMARX - The current NYC boom has been simmering for a while now - how incidental were Oneida in stoking a new set of values in the New Yawk underground?
I have to admit I don't know Oneida. All I know is I started going to the open mic at Sidewalk Cafe in spring of 1998, at the exact time when a guy named Grey Revell had just arrived in NY from the west coast, knowing nobody, and he was totally blowing us away with his songs (he actually just recently got picked by CMJ as one of the top unsigned artists in the US). Joie Dead Blonde Girlfriend got clean of alcohol and drugs around that point and forged himself into an absolutely amazing engine of folk-punk writing/performing, he had a big hand in inspiring a lot of people, and along with Lach and others we all started hanging out late at the open mic every week like till 3 am, and a lot of friendships were formed. Then there were people like Major Matt Mason, Paleface, Mike Rechner (now of Prewar Yardsale), who had been there before us and now were sort of coming back into action with the rising energy of what was happening. And in 1999 the family just grew and grew, people that I'd known in college, like Quankmeyer, and Steven and Jack (the current Moldy Peaches band), became connected to the downtown scene, Adam and Kimya came to NY from where they had been living in the northwest and started playing the Sidewalk open mic, a brilliant 18 year old named Turner Cody came down from Boston, Spencer appeared and started recording us all in his apartment in Jersey City, and it kinda wonderfully snowballed. But in a way that was very disconnected from anything else in the city; it's all been very insulated in the sense that none of us are really involved or aware of the greater New York City band scene, and they're not aware of us. The Strokes were playing every week at the Mercury Lounge, five blocks away, and no one had ever heard of them untill the British press hype began, and they certainly hadn't heard of any of us.
trakMARX - What does Jeff Lewis listen to @ home?
Other than Antifolk, I'm actually a big buff of sixties psychedelic and garage rock, I've got a whole lot of old records by bands like the Crome Syrcus and HP Lovecraft and Lothar & the Hand People; I certainly can't afford to pay collector's price s for them but over the years just by dilligent searching through the record bins of the world I've amassed a lot of that stuff for really cheap although the covers are often battered, etc. The garage rock aspect doesn't show up in my songs other than a bunch of the stuff I do with my brother when we're yelling about zombies and time machines and stuff, but the folkier ones were really a huge influence, especially all the early Donovan and Pearls Before Swine albums. Daniel Johnston. And I also love the Fall and the Clash etc, and indie rock, blah blah, name drop, name drop. I particularly liked your Crass interview, I just got Penis Envy in May and it's one of the albums that has been in constant rotation in my tape deck all summer.
trakMARX - Is "...Acid" intended to be viewed as a full blown debut & will you be coming to the UK to promote it?
I suppose it's as "full blown" a debut as I'm likely to have. It's all songs that I've been circulating on different cassettes for the past couple years, but there's probably no more than a few hundred of those tapes at most, just in the possession of friends and whoever gave me 3 bucks for one at an open mic or a show. I never sent anything out to labels or anything, in fact I've never even met any of the Rough Trade people, I just got an email from them sort of out of the blue a few months ago after they had signed the Moldy Peaches. I feel like I'm dating someone out of my league who's likely to realize it and dump me on any given day; like what if they were to actually meet me and come to a show? They could just be like "THIS guy? If only we'd known he was like THIS we never would have made the mistake of contacting him!" Though if Rough Trade wants to invite me out to the UK to play I sure wouldn't refuse, I've got a friend who's studying in London this fall and it would be great to get a chance to visit her there. Plus I have no job and no apartment, so why not.
trakMARX - How has the musical community in NYC reacted to last week's terror?
Like everyone, at first it was just absolute shock, now things are basically as back to "normal" as you'd expect; subways run, people go to work, shows and open mics continue, although the CMJ fest has been postponed till October. Looking at the weirdly diminished skyline after having lived here all my life with those towers makes me feel like I'm looking at my mom after a mugger just punched her front teeth out. But for all the sense of loss and outrage, what scares me now, and I think a good amount of the creative community, is not terrorist attacks from bloodthirsty religious fanatics in the middle east, but the huge gains that may likely be reaped from this by the bloodthirsty religious fanatics who run our government. Talk of vengeance kind of makes me sick. Maybe I should just speak for myself. As far as strictly musical concerns, I just heard that the Strokes are pulling "New York City Cops (ain't too smart)" off their album before release, and even though it's already released I know Kimya at least feels awkward about foisting "New York City's Like a Graveyard" on people right now.
trakMARX - Will life ever be the same again for any of us from now on & are you as scared as the rest of us?
Horrible as these events are, if society rolled right along after the World Wars this little drop in the bucket is not going to halt what's called "progress". An attack on New York City and Washington DC is definitely unprecidented, but much worse things HAVE happened. As far as "life being the same again", life will never be the same from one year to the next anyway (I know you wanna smack me for saying some corny shit like that, but it's what I feel right now). A massive violent crime like this will never be forgotten, I'll remember first seeing those TV images till the day I die, just like the Challenger disaster, but like I say it's not unpredictable events that scare me as much as it's the fascistic changes in the name of "security" which are being discussed. Everyone knows anything can happen, but that's life, and you just have to deal with it as best you can. Anytime I've taken a plane I've been half convinced I was gonna die but I don't let it stop me. I always think that if I was immortal then I'd have an excuse to be afraid for my life, but considering we all die no matter what, it makes the stakes lower, if that makes any sense when put like that. Anyway, that's what I've told myself anytime I've flown. I forget if it was Benjamin Franklin who said "he who sacrifices freedom in the name of security deserves neither freedom nor security." I think about that a lot. It's a powerful quote.
"Last Time I Took Acid" is available now on Rough Trade Records.

The Mentoring Choice
By Barbara Linebarger
(WICT SOUTHEAST) Mentoring is an opportunity that I highly recommend to everyone – whether you mentor another person or have the opportunity to be mentored. Over the years, I have been really blessed with great mentors who helped enhance my career and image. Some were a quick one time meeting to address a particular skill or challenge, others have invested years and helped me paint a clearer picture of where I am heading. Each person gave me insight to what worked for them, as well as offered advice and a sounding board as I developed what works for me.
Likewise, I have had amazing people who have asked me to be their mentor. Some I have worked with through an organized program like WICT,
others have just stopped by and asked for my time. I have learned as much from them as I hope they learned from me. As each of those sessions began, the question I always start with is: "What do you want to gain from this mentoring relationship?" Often they haven't thought about what they expect from our time together, mostly they just want to understand how they can grow their career. It isn't something to leave to chance.
The other night I was driving home from work and was listening to one of the local country radio stations. A song came on by Toby Keith that I had not heard before, but I thought the chorus had the perfect message.
"Cause if you don't know where you're goin'
You might end up somewhere else."
It is important to have goals – both professional and personal. Those goals help guide you in the choices you make. But to do that, you have to be willing to look inside and know yourself. Do you know what you want in your life?
Most of us had parents that told us we could be anything wanted to be when we grew up – but it requires us to make choices to help us get there. For years I mentored teenagers at my church, and often our discussions were around the fact that our life is the sum of all our choices, so be careful about every choice you make because you will be known by them. The same goes with our career. Your reputation and image are perceived by how you present yourself – your work ethic, the company you keep, and the opportunities you create for yourself. Opportunities we didn't plan may surface and you have to make a choice. But if you know yourself well, understand your overall goals in life, then making choices becomes easier because you are in charge of the path you take – even in the face of the unknown.
So my advice is to prepare for the next mentoring opportunity. Ask yourself these questions:
- What do I want to gain from this relationship?
- Am I moving in the direction that makes me happy? If not, what do I need to change my path?
- Am I willing/able to make choices that may change the direction I am on today?
Simple yes or no answers won't do for these questions. You need to explore what is really important to you and not just what is the popular choice. In the process, you may discover a path you did not know was a choice and even more important, a mentoring relationship that helps you clear that path.
Jul 11 2011
Love the questions Barb. This applies no matter where you are in your career. Thanks for sharing your wisdom!
Jul 20 2011
Great article Barb. I appreciate what you had to share about reputation and the choices we make. It is a difficult truth to swallow, but it is so true that people are always watching us and making judgements about who we are and what we are capable of.

For my final year project at COFA I decided to focus on graphic design and textile design. I wanted to take on a re-branding project that served some purpose to the community.
After much research it looked like the the standard logo design of childcare centres was stick figures of kids under a rainbow.
We wanted St. Mary's to stand out from the crowd.
The decision was made to create characters that kids could connect with, as well as serving for marketing collateral to make merchandise to help raise money for the center.

Professor Raymond Suttner will finally graduate at the University of Cape Town (UCT) after Forty-nine years of submitting his Master of Laws (LLM) degree thesis and having it refused because it quoted a banned person'
This was after the institution invited Suttner to resubmit his previously banned thesis.
Suttner – an academic and former political prisoner – is now a visiting professor and strategic advisor at the University of Johannesburg's Faculty of Humanities.
In a statement on Monday' UCT said Suttner was scheduled to graduate on December 14 after resubmitting his thesis for examination after the intervention of Professor Dee Smythe' professor of public law at UCT.
In 1969' Suttner submitted his LLM thesis on Legal Pluralism in South Africa.
In it' he quoted extensively from Jack Simons' who was banned as a listed communist' resulting in his then supervisor instructing him to remove the quotes prior to examination as Simons could not be quoted as a banned person.
Suttner refused to remove the quotes and instead withdrew the dissertation.
Smythe says she learnt about Suttner's story in his book' Inside Apartheid's Prison. She started digging and found a CV that listed a 1969 thesis on Legal Pluralism in South Africa' with a note that it had not been submitted for examination.
Smythe approached her faculty' which was "fully supportive of remedying what they too saw as a grave injustice".
"We proposed to Professor Suttner the course of action that we subsequently embarked on."
At the time' Suttner was actually not sure if he still had a copy' and it took about five months for him to find it.
It had been hand-typed on manuscript paper and was delivered to the university in hard copy format in early 2018.
"We were all very clear that the dissertation must stand on its own merits' meeting the criteria for the degree. Professor Hugh Corder [acting Dean of Law] and I read it and were both very impressed with the breadth and rigour of the work.
"We felt that it would certainly stand up to the scrutiny of examination. In fact' it has remarkable contemporary resonance'" Smythe said.
Suttner has mentioned his impending graduation to his followers on Twitter.
1 #LLM #after49years. Recently informed that thesis that I withdrew from UCT in 1969 examined and graduate 14 December. @dee_smythe @nombonisogasa @Almostconvinced @capemanchris @JCharlesLeonard @chrisvick3 @Motloduwa @Enghumbhini @JimmySmithStan @chrisvick3 @debbieflorence

And his wife' Nomboniso Gasa' also shared her thoughts about the thesis' prepared 49 years ago.
After @RaymondSuttner agreed to submit his thesis, the question was will he find it, 49 years later? He did and it was intact, missing a few pages. On that day, I tweeted this pic, without explanation. pic.twitter.com/wN2QOZsk8L

Solidarity Federation
Appeal to send protest faxes/e-mails till Monday noon
After a month of campaigning, pressure is mounting on the temp agency OTTO. SolFed's sister organisations in Poland and Slovakia, as well as the Dutch Vrije Bond, have picketed the agency after they learnt how they exploit especially Polish, Czech and Slovak workers doing temporary work in Holland.
Apparently, the company is trying to hush up the problem and satisfy the workers with partial concessions. However, no changes were made regarding for example housing conditions, and the CEO still claims there is no system of fines in the company. Also, more workers have contacted the activists and want to join the struggle, and the campaign is thus not over.
Some workers cheated by the OTTO temp agency are fighting back!
They don't get the conditions promised to them in their contracts and job interviews and the company makes money off a system of fines used at the workers' "hotels". The end result - people work and don't get paid, or they wind up paying too much money for substandard housing which does not meet the standards of the collective labour agreement OTTO is supposed to be following.
After some Polish colleagues working in Holland were cheated by the agency, they decided to take action. The Vrije Bond in Holland, ZSP in Poland and Priama Akcia in Slovakia have all started taking action to both inform workers of their rights and encourage them to organize and take action.

Early this month I determined the desktop would work again by adding the kernal parameter nouveau.noaccel=1. The desktop is not as snappy, but no other strangeness is noted. For my hardware, the Linux desktop is surely not as viable as my Windows desktop.
Other recent things I've done:
Added Nagios Roundcube Webmail check.
Removed the ProFTP ftp server.
Disabled Internet access to telnet server.

Solder Practice Continues
I still wouldn't call my solder skills 'good', however, they are improving. I set aside an hour or so after dinner to practice and completed 7 of the little Mancala marbles and made one 1"x3" Pendant. For the pendant, I used a piece of my grafitti painted paper. The solder feels slightly rough, where it edges the glass. I'm going to run another bead on it tomorrow and see if that solves the issue ... perhaps these require two beads.
I'm finding the round pieces the most difficult ... I haven't yet found the right combination of tools to hold the marbles while working on them. Tonight I added the jump rings first and then soldered the rest, that is working best so far. Went online and browsed a variety of site looking for tool suggests, but .... nada. So, I'll just keep trying different ways until I arrive at an answer.

Twitter is one of the most famous social media websites out there. If you have a website you might want to share it on twitter. However it makes no sense to share your website on twitter if you have no followers who are interested in what you are doing. This post will show you how to get traffic from Twitter.
When I started I had no twitter account. In fact the only thing I had was Facebook and I hated it. So before I show you how to get traffic to your site, let´s set up your twitter account if you do not already have one. If you already have a twitter account save your time and scroll down to "How to get traffic to my website".
How to setup a twitter account
Head over to Twitter.com and register at Twitter. Type in your name, an email address and your password. After that choose a nickname.
You will be asked for you phone number. Twitter will send you a code which you have to enter so they know that it is really you and that you are a real human. So just choose your country and type in your phone number. Don´t worry you won´t get phone calls from a person breathing weirdly into the phone if you give them your phone number!
After receiving the code just type in the code they sent to you and then your account is ready. They will ask you about your interests now and Twitter will encourage you to follow some people on Twitter. You can do that if you want. That is just the normal procedure on social media websites.
You should definitely setup your profile. For that click on the small profile picture on the left side of the home page. Then click on edit profile.
Here you can change your name, country and so on. It is very important that you enter your website domain as you can see in the picture below. I explain why at the bottom of this article.
Click save changes when you are done.
How to create a tweet
Tweet means you can share a message or an image, video, article with your follower. Ideally you want to share articles from your websites. You do not have to only share articles from your website, feel free to tweet anything you want but it should be related to your niche. (What is a niche and how can I find a good niche?)
Click on "tweet" on the right side of your home page. Now a small window will open. Use an interesting text for your tweet to promote your article for example and copy/paste the URL of that article into the window. You only have 140 letters so make sure your tweet is short and interesting.
If you want you can shorten your URL on bit.ly for example. Just paste your URL there and bit.ly will give you a shortened link which you can use in your tweet to save letters.
After you´ve done that you should add some hashtags to your tweet. In other words the hashtags show which category your tweet belongs to. For example #money or #cheesecake or #cars.
You´re done! Click on tweet!
How to get traffic to my website
So now you want to know how to get traffic from Twitter. Pretty easy. Perform a search for your niche in Twitter. In my example I perform a search for pitbulls. You will get several results like persons or photos. Click on Persons – Show all.
Then you will see all persons who twitter about your niche. In my case here pitbulls.
I always recommend to click on the first result Twitter gives you since it is most of the time highly related to your niche and it has the most follower.
If you clicked on a result it will show you the profile of the person. Click on follower to see all of the follower of that person. Start to follow all of them. You will see that most of the those people will follow you back.
That means that you get a lot of follower who are really interested in your niche and that is what you want. If you would follow just some random people and they´d follow you back but only a few people would click your tweets because chances are that most of them are not interested in your niche.
What you should know
You can only follow 2000 people at Twitter as far as I know. I recommend to follow 2000 people as soon as you can and wait for one month. After that you should stop following those people and start to follow another 2000 people. You will get a lot of more follower this way over time. Of course you do not know who you followed before.
For that just take the follower from another person. Perform a search for your niche again and click on the second or the third result instead of the first result and start to follow all of the follower.
This way you will get a lot of follower via Twitter which means that a lot of people might click on your tweets and get to your website. What´s great about this technique is that you get a backlink for every retweet of your tweets because you entered your website in your profile. (What is a backlink?)
For more tips on getting traffic to your website I always recommend to sign up for the free step-by-step training of Wealthy Affiliate. They have a great training regarding making money with websites. You can sign up for free here. On this page I give you a short overview of what you get at Wealthy Affiliate.
Was this article helpful for you? Do you get traffic from Twitter? Let me know in the comments below.
All the best,

Scripture Reading: Mark 10:32-34; 46-52
"My Rabbi, " the blind man said, "I want to see!" Mark 10:51b (NLT)
At 48 years old, I find myself wearing progressive bifocals. This year's prescription is a little stronger than last year's. I walk around always trying to find the "sweet spot" as I try to focus on things near and far. However, I am glad that I have this struggle as opposed to the struggle that Bartimaeus had in Mark. He was completely blind.
Blindness is spoken of in a couple of different ways in the Bible. One is physical and the other is spiritual. However, the Bible makes it crystal "clear" that spiritual blindness is much worse. Strange thing is – a person is usually unaware of spiritual blindness. And while many times physical blindness can be corrected, there is nothing that humans can do about spiritual blindness. Only God can cure such a condition.
"What do you want me to do for you?" Jesus asked Bartimaeus. Now let's stop there. Bartimaeus was not only blind, but also poor, a beggar, hungry, mocked, and humiliated, along with other things. Among all the things he could have asked for, he asked to receive his sight. Because of Bartimaeus' faith, he received both physical and spiritual sight.
Let's not lie to ourselves. Today, all of us are at some level of blindness. No one has perfect spiritual vision. Today Jesus is asking us, "What do you want Me to do for you?" So the question is, "What do we want Him to do for us?"
