Warped Tour Exclusive Part II – Keith Buckley of Every Time I Die
July 23, 2008 by Lexi Shapiro
Filed under Interviews
In Part II of our Warped Tour adventures, our Pennsylvania staffer Lexi gets down to the heart of things with Every Time I Die frontman Keith Buckley. ETID (Buckley on vocals, brother Jordan Buckley on guitar, Andrew Williams on guitar, Michael Novak on drums and Josh Newton on bass) have become a quick crowd favorite on the Warped Tour circuit. Some people call them metalcore, some call them a punk infused with southern rock, but don't take our word for it, check them out for yourself!
Their last album "The Big Dirtry" was released on indie label Ferret in September of 2007 and received a round of applause from music critics around the globe who were looking for that diamond in the rough. Adored for their sense of humor and their ability to keep the fun in their songs the only complaint that was really heard was how short the album was.
Keith gives us the scoop on Warped Tour, his ever growing collection of body art, the lowdown on their label situation, and their desire to make it onto G4's urban dictionary list!
Interviewed by: Lexi Shapiro | July 2008(For the full interview experience, listen to the audio from this interview by clicking here.)
The tattoo on your chest translates to "embrace your fate." What do you feel is in the cards for you ultimately? What do you feel your predetermined fate IS?
According to my psychic, not music. *both laugh* I went and saw a psychic right before Warped Tour and they said it definitely wasn't in music. So, I would hope that it's somewhere in the education process, whether it be teaching or lecturing somewhere. I would hope that that's something that I can keep maintaining.
So, whenever you're done with Every Time I Die, would you like to go back to teaching?
Yes, very much so. I would like to go back to college and finish my Master's program
So, then, are you more of a believer in fate than free-will?
No, not at all. Not so much, anymore. I think that fate is really… I don't know, it might really be a misuse of the term, because I feel that it's more of just accepting what you have and where you're at and being happy with it, and just knowing that you're there because you belong there. But, I mean, I think it takes free will to get you to that point, anyways.
A mixture of the two.
Yeah, yeah.
With as epic as your lyrics are, even though you've referred to them several times as absolutely meaningless *Keith laughs*, it comes as no surprise that so many fans identify with and then opt to get tattoos of various ETID lyrics. Can you think of any fan tattoos that you've seen that stand out in your mind as being a personal favorite?
Well, the most common is "The greatest lovers were murderers first," which is definitely one of my favorites. That was kind of based on Othello, when I was writing that song; that line kind of came from that Shakespeare play. I don't know… I'm trying to think. I know I have seen a good one. Somebody got one on their chest and I was like "Oh, cool! I haven't seen that line yet!" I can't remember.
Ok, well, what about the back-piece for "When in Rome, we shall do as the Romans…"
Yeah, that was funny. I felt really bad when I said that, because that was totally a joke. I was absolutely kidding. But, no, that was pretty sweet. That's dude's awesome. We've been in touch with that dude. He's a good guy.
Would you be willing to show us some of your other tattoos and explain the meaning behind them?
What about the new one you just got on your hand…
This new one I got, which is still healing, is a painting by Mark Ryden. He did this instillation of paintings called "Blood," and this specific one is called "Weeping." And, it's just this one painting. It's this girl with her head kind of on this boy's shoulder, but they're crying blood. I don't know, I've just always been a real big fan of his. And, the fact that Oliver Peck, who I've admired as a tattoo artist for a very long time, was on tour, willing and able to do it was a big thing for me. So, I was kind of saving my hand spots for that. Uhm, other ones… this is one is because I'm afraid of teeth. So, it's a tooth that says "scary." I'm trying to think what else has meaning… this one is a party snake, 'cause I like to party and I like snakes *laughs*. Let me see… these are my fiancé's initials with a martini glass; our first date was at a martini bar. And, this is my grandpa's war plane, the War Goddess, in World War II. Other than that, they're just random shit *laughs*.
You guys have publicly defended your friendship with Fall Out Boy…
… You enjoy Bjork and Sigur Ros and used to be a high school English teacher, and Jordan has a penchant for his little dachshund. Tell me some other unexpected things about you guys that would surprise most people.
You know, that's the thing… I don't know if there's anything we haven't said! You know what I mean? We're very blatant about everything that we do. And, at this point, I think the fact that it's public knowledge that we like Fall Out Boy and those dudes in particular, and we do listen to different music, I don't know if anything I said would come as a surprise to anybody, really. I mean, unless I said that I was, like, a child molester… but I'm not! But, I said that I had no way of surprising people. So, I have no criminal history! Jordan got arrested one time for breaking a gum ball machine. Andy doesn't have a drivers' license and he lives with his parents. Our drummer just moved out of his parents' house into an apartment. That's about it. That's all I can think of!
No more deep, dark secrets of yours?
Uh-uh! I don't have any! I really don't. I hopefully won't go to court with my ex-landlord that I just got an e-mail about today. So, we'll what happens with that; I'll keep you posted.
Keep us posted. With the revolving door that has been your bass player slot, do you feel like you've finally found permanence with Josh Newton?
Yeah, definitely. He fits in extremely well. He's just very mild-mannered, a great writer, as far as the music goes, and he just gets along with everybody. His music taste is just as varied and he's come from a bunch of other bands that we've respected and listened to growing up. He's the oldest member in our band right now, too. He beat out Andy. Andy was the oldest, and now Josh is the oldest.
And, no more line-up changes any time soon?
No, not that I foresee…unless he quits. But, he'd have to do that before we kicked him out.
What do you do to your bass players, man?!
I don't understand! I don't know, I don't know. But, it's funny, because they all go on to do really good things. It's not like we kick them out and they're on skid row or anything like that. Chris Byrnes is partners in our management company. Steve Micciche moved out to California and became Guitar Center salesman of the year and got a free car. Keller is now expecting a baby. So, it's like, everybody's doing really good.
So, what led to the discovery of your vascular malformation? What indications were there?
Just a lot of nervous ticks that couldn't be cured with medicine that I had had for a long time. So, I finally went and had blood work done and had an MRI, and they're like, "Yep, there it is. That's probably the cause of it. There's a lot of pressure on a certain point in your brain that there shouldn't be." I think they've gotten better, though. I think they've finally gotten me on the right stuff. But, it's something that's genetic and it's not ever really going to go away. So, I've just got to kind of cope with it.
Has it ever affected you on stage?
No, not really. Honestly, it's kind of like where people have a speech impediment, but then they sing, and you don't know that they do. It's just kind of like it's a different part of the brain and something just clicks when you're doing that and it goes away. So, that's why I very much cherish that part on stage.
I read that it can lead to seizures and some really serious things. Do they think yours is going to get that bad?
They don't mine's going to get that bad. But, it's kind of degenerative; it's not going to get better. It COULD only get worse, or it could stay the same. So, I'm trying to just stay healthy. And, too much stress is definitely the leading cause as far as it deteriorating to a state that I couldn't bring it back from.
Well, how do stay stress-free when you're out on tour?
I get WASTED. *laughs* I get drunk and don't think about it… play video games.
So, you guys have a more laid-back attitude and approach to all of this. You've talked about not taking yourselves too seriously, and courtesy of the Shit Happens DVD, fans were granted access to see the rapport between you guys. Has this attitude or your humor ever gotten you guys into trouble, though?
It doesn't get us into trouble. It just gets us into really awkward situations, where a lot of people think that because they've seen a DVD that they know you personally and take the liberty of saying things to you that strangers shouldn't say.
Such as?
Such as, like, commenting on your girlfriend or your fiancé or whatever it is, like, how she looks and things like that and acting like they know them. You know, as far as Lindsay and Kate are concerned, who are featured in the DVD, I'm sure it's really weird for them to have fans of our music talk to them like they know them and ask pretty personal questions. So, yeah, people take a lot of liberty when they have that insight, which I think is pretty terrifying, because that's how people end up being stalked.
Or, some people come up to the merch table, and will be like, "Hey, can you say this again?!" like we're actors. It's like, well, it wasn't a script. It's not really… we're not like… and then they get mad at us, like, "WHAT THE FUCK" like we have egos or something. It's not like that. It just wasn't that big of a deal. We're not actors. We're not taking direction from anybody.
So, a few weeks ago you guys left Ferret…
Well, no, that's actually not true!
Yeah! Well, our contract was up when The Big Dirty was done, so, I mean, I don't know. We were officially off Ferret since August or September or whenever the record came out. So, it's not like we left Ferret. I mean, they've talked to us, and we've amicably decided to split ways, but it was never like we broke a contract or anything, you know? We were done, and we just decided it was time to leave the nest.
Have you had any offers from a major label? And, if you had them, would you take them?
No and no. We've never been a band to entertain any offers from major labels, so I don't know what an offer would have been like. I mean, I know bands [labels?] who have gotten in touch with our management, but it's never gone as far as "okay, well, we'll see what happens." We've never set up meetings or anything or had phone calls or dinner. But, no, there's no way we could go on a major.
So, what are you looking for in a label?
Just one that really understands the history of the band and knows that we've done it our way for ten years and we've gotten this far, you know, with a lot of help, but at the same time, with a lot of diligence. I mean, we still travel in vans, we still play at smaller clubs, our guarantee isn't astronomical. We still have the same attitude that we've always had, but I think it's just a little different now. It's on kind of a bigger scale. I just want a label that understands where we've come from and where we hope to take it and doesn't want to polish our sound too much or do anything like that.
You still want to maintain as much control as possible…
Very much so. Yeah.
Is that a motivating factor for why you wouldn't want to do a major label?
Yeah, I think because as long as we've been doing this, I think we're a little apprehensive about whether we're doing it right, so I think that if a lot of pressure were to come in from the margins and say, "Okay, well, I do this for a living, and I've done this for twenty years, and I know that this is what works, so we have to kind of do this to your song," I don't necessarily know that we'd have the capability to say "fuck you," you know? Because, obviously there's a part of us that still could be intimidated by that. I think we'd be a little more lenient. So, I think just to (blank it all?) and say absolutely no pressure from the outside is the safer way to go.
Tell me a little bit about The Finale.
It's amazing. It started when we were writing the Big Dirty, where I realized that I had all these lyrics and these vocal patterns that I wanted to use, and I'm like, "Well, if I squeeze them in Every Time I Die songs, it might just sound too tacked on, so let me just keep them off to the side…" So, I had all these ideas for stuff, and I was talking to my friend one night when we were out. And I knew he played guitar; he had just never really done it in a real band. I knew he was really good at it. And, he's like, "I just want to write, but you're always on tour." And, I'm like, "Well, so, what? You have the internet. Send me some stuff, I'll send it back." And it was like, "Alright, fine." So, we sat down one day and we put down a song, and that night I had the vocals done for it. It was just so free-flowing and so much fun for me to do, and then to actually be able to get in the studio and do it and to do it live, it's definitely a huge outlet for me that I like. I think people will like it.
So, you and your girlfriend are high school sweethearts. Tell me the cutesy little story of your first meeting in high school. Was she the cute girl in math class?
No, no, no. Well, I met her in seventh grade. We had a school assembly, and I remember I was sitting down next to my friends, and one of my friends was friends with one of her friends, and I didn't know any of them. And, she just turned around, and I was like, "Oh my god! Who's that?!" It was, like, instantly… I gotta know this girl. So, seventh grade we dated a little bit until she got threatened to be beaten up by more popular girls who wanted to date me. *laughs* So, she gracefully bowed out of the picture. And then, in high school, we met back up, and I had to lie to a bunch of teachers about some sort of vision problem or medical condition or something to get my seat changed so I could sit next to her. And then, we had to end it when I moved away to college, because I moved to Virginia, and then came back, and we met up again, and the rest is history.
So, how did you guys come up with the name "Every Time I Die?" Where is that from?
I don't even know! It came about as we were just practicing one day, and we were throwing out names. I mean, we were so young when this band started out. I was like, sixteen or seventeen. I think our drummer thought it was a line from a Drowningman song, this old band from Vermont. And, it sounded like he said "every time I die," and he's like, "That's kind of a cool phrase. Let's go with that." And, I'm like, "Alright dude," and everyone's like "DEATH. YEAH, DEATH IS SUPER-COOL." And, now it's all over.
You could have been like "xx Every Time I Die xx."
*laughs* Yeah, yeah! But now, every band is like "Die Something," and it's so lame. So, I wish we could change it.
No, you were the first. You were the original.
*laughing* I would like to think we were one of the first!
So, do you have any pre-show rituals or rituals for your down-time as a band?
No, I think just kind of before we play I just like to… this tour, not so much so, even. It's kind of just like, I just need at least ten minutes by myself, just to kind of go over the set in my head, and that's about it. Other than that, it's just, getting up on stage is just about as much fun as being offstage. So, that's really a pretty natural flow for us.
Explain the origin of "shinfo." Who was the first person to ever say that?
That was a collective effort, I think. I remember the story of how that came about. We were sitting there, and Andy's like, "I'm going to go into McDonald's," and we're like, "Alright, man." And, he's like, "I'm probably going to get a cheeseburger or two," and we're like, "Okaaay, man." And, he's like, "Yeah, I've only got like, four bucks, so I could either get this or a bunch of cheeseburgers," and, I think it was Jordan who was like, "Man, that is the SHITTIEST information I have ever heard. Why do you need that?! It's shitty info." And, then we're like, "So, it's 'shinfo'." And, then everybody laughed. So that's basically what it means: it's just the worst information.
Because, your little word has caught on and now has mass-usage…
I know! What I'm hoping for is… there's this channel called G4. It's kind of like a video game channel. "Shinfo" is in the Urban Dictionary, now!
Oh, really?
YEAH! And, on that channel, they have excerpts from the Urban Dictionary that say it on the screen. So, I would LOVE if that made it to G4, just grabbed out of Urban Dictionary.
So, attention, G4 producers…
Yeah, seriously! Layla Kaleigh, or whatever her name is… she needs to find out.
So, after all the years of screaming and smoking and drinking, how is your voice holding up, and do you do anything in particular to take care of it?
No, unfortunately. *laughs* I know that I'm not young anymore, so I definitely have to start paying more attention to it, getting a little more sleep and stuff. Actually, this tour is pretty good for me, because I haven't been drinking before at all, which I used to… you know, like in a club setting, or I usually have to to kind of loosen up a little bit. But, I'm not drinking anymore before we play, and I noticed my stamina's a little bit stronger than it used to be. But, yeah, I just try to get some sleep. But, I never would have expected that ten years into doing this, that I could then start Finale and sing with no problem. You know what I mean? So, it's kind of surprising.
[Insert my getting yelled at for going way over my allotted time limit. My apologies, Warped Tour staff, but it's not every day that you get to converse with Keith Buckley.]
So, do you have any last words, then, for They Will Rock You?
Where is it out of? Where are you out of? Are you out of Pittsburgh?
We're national.
Keith: Okay becauseI know we're doing a tour in November on the East coast, so people should definitely come out to that. Other than that, just keep following our webpage, because we try to keep everybody posted thoroughly.
Alright, thank you very much!
No problem, thank you!

Owners of MacBook Airs, if you have the 13-inch that I have, you're fine. Diablo III will run on it and be perfectly playable. Take a look at the video here to see it run on my late-2011 Air at both default settings and low settings.
I ran the beta on my Air last September, which has led to many people e-mailing me, asking if the finished game can run. Here's your answer!
My computer specs: 1.7GHz Intel Core i5, 4GB RAM, Intel HD Graphics 3000 384MB
My preferred Diablo III settings: Fullscreen, 1440×900, 150 FPS (foreground), 30 FPS (background), Low texture quality, Low shadow quality, Low physics, Low clutter density, Anti-Aliasing on. (The game defaulted to higher settings, which I also tested in the video; it introduced minor lag in some enemies and support characters)

J. Wyndal Gordon, a criminal lawyer in Baltimore, says he will pay for gas — up to $15 per car — for the first 150 people as part of a community appreciation day.
The gas-giveaway will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 28th - or until the limit is reached - at the Liberty Mart Gas Station. It's located on Liberty Heights and Berwin, across from the Marion C. Bascom Sr. Fire Station on Liberty Heights Ave. and Garrison Blvd., according to the firm.

By Dave Stancliff/For the Times-Standard
Marijuana won't be legalized just because every other American smokes or eats it in some form. Think brownies, cookies, candy, or cake.
Despite a record-high 50 percent of Americans saying they use marijuana and it should be made legal, it's still illegal.
Because an overwhelming majority of Americans are for legalization means absolutely nothing. The federal government, with it's Orwellian logic, is unfazed by what Americans really want.
For those who don't know why marijuana is illegal in this country, it's because of politics and outright lies by a crazed anti-pot crusader named Harry J. Anslinger.
Many people assume that marijuana was made illegal through some kind of process involving scientific, medical, and government hearings. Not even close. Banning pot was a political thing. For more history go to; http://www.druglibrary.org/schaffer/LIBRARY/studies/nc/nc2.htm
The first federal vote to prohibit marijuana was based entirely on a documented lie on the floor of the Senate. Those who voted then got one side of the story based upon racism, fear, protection of corporate profits, and yellow journalism inspired by Anslinger.
We can thank incompetent, and/or corrupt legislators interested in personal career advancement and greed for the continued war on marijuana. Despite the medical findings associated with marijuana, it still hasn't been legalized nationwide. Anslinger's propaganda still pulls weight among many legislators.
Politicians like to appear tough on crime and pass tougher penalties for marijuana possession. The taxpayers end up funding the pot propaganda, while their speech is stifled on the subject by the corporate media.
Laws are passed based upon political contributions from corporations that profit from marijuana being illegal like pharmaceuticals and alcohol.
So what makes me think that marijuana will be legal in America some day? I've written on this subject for two decades and I've always made it a point to show why Big Pharma doesn't want marijuana legal.
Well guess what? Big Pharma has taken a new course (perhaps they planned it this way all along) and is seriously eyeing the profitability of the medical marijuana market. It's already using lobbyists and government connections to ensure control. That means legalization at some point.
Last April, two drug manufacturing giants, G.W. Pharmaceuticals (a worldwide corporation based in the UK with offices in the US) and Novartis (a worldwide corporation Headquartered in Basel, Switzerland with offices in the US), announced they had formed an alliance to license and market GW's Sativex, a liquid cannabis drug. Learn more: http://www.naturalnews.com/032547_medical_marijuana_Big_Pharma.html#ixzz1hJ12CvJP.
The American Independent recently observed, "…the pharmaceutical giants' strategy as regards marijuana seems to be "demonize it, prosecute it, shut it down, then grab the market."
The idea that a drug can be denounced as evil in one context but hailed as a medical miracle if sold within the pharmaceutical system is nothing new. Big Pharma's magic cure pills for ADHD bear a suspicious chemical resemblance to speed.
Cannabis Science, Inc., a US biotech company developing pharmaceutical cannabis products, recently reported that two former US Attorneys, and the former head of Seattle FBI, are in favor of Washington State Initiative 502 to legalize marijuana.
So you see we are moving towards legalization. Not because you or I want it, but because Big Pharma has finally decided the time is here to profitably exploit marijuana. Look to the media this year for more reports like Cannabis Science's (or other corporations) backing marijuana legalization in other states.
Big Pharma won't be the only corporate giant cashing in on legal cannabis crops. The retail and food industry will probably step in with their deep pockets, providing unfair competition to small time growers.
The dot.com industry was once the fastest way to get rich, but I suspect the future holds a new crop of instant millionaire CEOs when marijuana is legalized. It won't be because the American people have finally convinced legislators to do the right thing. That only happens in the movies.

Why Michael Lewis is wrongApril 3, 2014: 3:20 PM ET
by Lee Munson
I love you, New York City, but you're killing me. There's a reason I stay in my remote third world country called New Mexico.
The media focus on Michael Lewis' new book, "Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt," irritates the hell out of me.
Lewis wants everyone to get worked up about high-frequency trading (dubbed HFT for short). Balderdash. This is an old subject with little relevance to individual investors.
Here's what is a lot more dangerous than HFT: Overtrading, not having a plan, and too much focus on short-term performance.
It's time someone took a big stick and beat this HFT nonsense.
First off, Lewis exaggerates.
He gives a false example when trying to convince you, the individual investor, that HFTs are making you pay more.
He tells Steve Kroft of 60 Minutes that because of HFT, you have to pay a higher price when buying 10,000 shares of Microsoft (MSFT). Really?
Stop, go out and buy 10,000 shares of MSFT right now in your discount brokerage firm account. Okay, that came out wrong. Don't actually do that, but go to any quote system -- perhaps CNNMoney.com (hint hint) -- and notice the volume on the bid and ask. The spread is likely a penny, and plenty of shares are changing hands every second and the price isn't moving that much.
Plus, larger brokerage firms are crossing clients' orders between each other when they can. You're probably swapping your 100 shares of Tesla with your uncle in Tacoma, and you don't even know it.
Second, who cares?
The case is being overstated by Lewis to the point of scaring people from actually investing. He's screaming: "The market is rigged." We know that. But the HFTs are not making nearly the amount of money being suggested.
You are not being gouged a buck a share to invest in stocks (well, at least not by HFTs. Have you checked your broker's fees?).
Remember 15 years ago when there was something called fractions? Before decimalization, spreads were 3,6,12 cents. That increased trading costs a heck of a lot more than HFTs. The fact that Microsoft stock has a mere penny spread nowadays is a huge gain to all investors...everywhere.
It has never been cheaper to trade in the history of the world. If some trader using a fast computer makes you magically pay a penny more, you are still in very, very good shape.
Third, supply and demand still exists, and so do speculators.
Traders can punish a stock in the short term. They can also see, at lightning speed or not, when a big institution is trying to buy a bunch of shares.
Who the heck said Brad Katsuyama, the "hero" of Lewis' book, is entitled to get his orders filled and not move the market? Let's get real: Every trade has the potential to move the market.
Electronic trading allows big players to minimize the impact of large orders versus the past. But any savvy speculator will notice when someone has a big appetite and will buy that for a free ride.
Here's the bottom line: HFTs aren't the problem.
Okay, sponsored access of "flash" trading is repugnant. By that I mean that trading firms paying money to have their computers and servers right next to those of the exchange is a step too far.
If this book makes regulators write a rule saying you can't do sponsored flash trading, fine. But that is not the definition of HFTs.
There will always be a cat and mouse game between new technology and what is right. However, yelling fire in a crowded theater is not productive.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do Christo and Jeanne-Claude find inspiration for their work?Close
All of Christo and Jeanne-Claude's projects come from ideas from their two hearts, and two brains. The artists never create works that come from other people's ideas. Never. Christo and Jeanne-Claude have completed more than 20 projects and twice as much have not succeeded. The artists could not get permission to create those projects, and the artists lost interest.
Some projects took many years of refusals until the artists could complete the project: 32 years for Wrapped Trees (1966-98), 26 years for The Gates (1971-2005), 25 years for the Wrapped Reichstag (1971-95), 10 years for The Pont Neuf Wrapped (1975-85), 5 years for Running Fence (1972-76), etc.
How are sites chosen?Close
There are two different ways for choosing a site. In one scenario, the artists have a specific building, structure or location in mind – such as the Pont-Neuf in Paris or the Reichstag in Berlin. In a second scenario, the artists have an idea for a project, but do not know where it will be physically located.
A good example of this scenario is in the project, for Over The River, Project for the Arkansas River, State of Colorado. In this case, Christo and Jeanne-Claude knew fabric would be suspended over a river, but they did not know which river would work best. Early renditions of what the artists envisioned were created by Christo in the form of drawings and collages that use an imaginary landscape. They drove 14,000 miles in the Rocky Mountains and inspected 89 rivers in search of the river that would provide all the characteristics they were looking for. After all of this research, they decided that the Arkansas River in the state of Colorado best fit the needs for the project.
Who pays for the installations?Close
Christo and Jeanne-Claude pay the entire cost of the artworks themselves. They earn all of the money through the sale of Christo's preparatory studies and early works from the 50's and 60's. They do not accept grants or sponsorships of any kind. They do not accept donated labor (volunteer help). They do not accept money for things like posters, postcards, books, films, T-shirts and mugs or any other products at all. None.
Art collectors who are interested in acquiring original preparatory works of art may contact webmaster Jok Church by e-mail. Christo and Jeanne-Claude have always acted as their own art dealers and Christo continues to present original preparatory work to collectors in his studio, by appointment. All of the money for projects come from these art sales.
Why don't they accept licensing deals and use that money on the installations?Close
Christo and Jeanne-Claude firmly believe that to accept deals of this kind would alter and compromise their art. Refusing this money assures them they are working in total freedom.
Why are their works so big? What's the point?Close
Christo and Jeanne-Claude's works are entire environments, whether they are urban or rural. The artists temporarily use one part of the environment. In doing so, we see and perceive the whole environment with new eyes and a new consciousness. The effect lasts longer than the actual work of art. Years after every physical trace has been removed and the materials recycled, original visitors can still see and feel them in their minds when they return to the sites of the artworks.
Why wrapping? Why fabric?Close
When Christo began to wrap objects in 1958, he used everyday objects such as shoes, telephones and empty paint cans to make his sculptures. Once wrapped, the objects would take on a new identity. By wrapping them, he would reveal some of the most basic features and proportions of the object by concealing the actual item. Christo and Jeanne-Claude later expanded this idea in projects such as The Pont Neuf Wrapped and the Wrapped Reichstag, but on a much larger scale. While the intricate details of the structures are hidden, the essence of the structures are revealed all the while making the imposing and solid structure seem airy and nomadic.
The use of real fabric also gives the work a fragile, sensual and temporary character while wrapping objects is definitely an important part of their œuvre, Christo and Jeanne-Claude have done very few wrappings in comparison to their whole portfolio of artworks. It is easier for some to grasp the wrapping concept and refer to their artworks entirely as "wrapping," but the work is more about altering an environment than wrapping – which is only one way to do that. The last time the artists had an idea for a wrapping was in 1975, when they had the idea of wrapping the Pont-Neuf in Paris, ten years before they realized the work of art.
How can I send Christo a proposal for a new piece of art?Close
You cannot. Christo and Jeanne-Claude have never accepted a proposal for a work of art. They feel strongly that to do so would make the project someone else's art. Christo and Jeanne-Claude have always said that the one way to make sure a specific project does not happen is to propose it to them. The choice of what to do is central to any artist's work. If Christo and Jeanne-Claude accepted proposals or commissions, they would soon become contractors and not creative artists.
What films have been made about the work of Christo and Jeanne-Claude and where can I get them?Close

That said, we'd like to make this information available for those of you who would like the films for home or classroom use. To acquire films, please contact the filmmakers directly.

Google Mobile App for iPhone started to become a bloated app, just like Google Toolbar. Instead of developing new applications, Google adds extra features to the Google Mobile App.
The latest new feature added to the application is Google Goggles, a visual search tool that helps you identify objects in a picture. "Computer vision is a hard problem and Google Goggles is still a Labs product. It works well for things such as landmarks, logos and the covers of books, DVDs and games. However, it doesn't yet work for some things you might want to try like animals, plants or food," explains Google.
Google Goggles is available in the Google Mobile App if you use an iPhone 3GS running iOS 4 or an iPhone 4. Goggles is also a standalone Android application.

Major addition: Salina campus phasing in leadership studies minor
SALINA -- Kansas State University's popular leadership studies minor is spreading.
The university's Salina campus will begin offering the course Introduction to Leadership Concepts in the spring 2012 semester, which starts Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2012. It's the first step toward making the minor available at Kansas State University Salina.
"The class has two focuses," said Levi Esses, assistant director of student life on the Salina campus. "Students will learn about themselves as leaders and they will participate in a service learning project to get them involved in the community."
Students also will write their personal leadership philosophy and examine the discipline of leadership.
Esses will co-teach the class with Michael Finnegan, instructor of leadership studies.
The class is the first in a set of four classes required to earn a leadership studies minor from K-State.
"We plan to continue adding leadership classes on the Salina campus," Esses said. "The program provides tremendous opportunities for our students that will prepare them for the workplace and community involvement."The leadership studies program is offered through the university's School of Leadership Studies. More information is available at http://www.k-state.edu/leadership/.

NEW YORK, N.Y. – The NHL and NHL Players' Association will meet for a fourth straight day in an attempt to salvage a shortened season.
Key negotiators from the league and union, including NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr, met for five hours Thursday and said talks will continue on Friday.
Thursday's talks were held at the offices of a midtown Manhattan law firm. So far, the sides have had little to say publicly about how the discussions have gone.
Sources told The Canadian Press that the Players' Association tabled an offer Wednesday night regarding revenue sharing and the league's "make whole" provision, which is designed to ensure all existing contracts are honoured in full. It is seen as the fundamental issue left to solve with the NHLPA having already agreed to see the players' share in revenue reduced to 50 per cent during the next CBA.
The union views that as a concession of more than US$1 billion because that's how much more players would earn if it remained at the current level of 57 per cent.
The league responded to the players' offer on Thursday, with Gary Bettman saying there's "still a lot of work to do."
With all regular-season games cancelled through Nov. 30, negotiations have reached a critical and delicate stage. Ten days will be needed from the time an agreement is struck until the season starts and there is still hope among the parties that a shortened schedule could begin by Dec. 1.
For that to happen, signs of progress need to emerge soon.
The sides have met for more than 20 hours over the last week, starting with an informal eight-hour session between deputy commissioner Bill Daly and NHLPA special counsel Steve Fehr in Chicago on Saturday. Larger groups that included owners and players spent more than seven hours together on Tuesday and another five hours on Wednesday.
Thursday's meeting was being viewed by both sides as extremely important. Other weighty topics, including revenue sharing and contract rules, were discussed by the NHL and NHLPA earlier in the week and still need to be worked out before the 54-day lockout comes to an end.
The push is clearly on now to see that happen.
Both sides have cleared their schedules and will continue to do so as long as positive momentum exists in negotiations. Daly had been scheduled to travel to Ottawa on Thursday to speak to a committee about sports betting, but ended up calling off the trip.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Both San Jose and Toronto rode smokin' hot streaks onto the pitch at Buck Shaw Stadium on Saturday night. The Quakes were on a four-game undefeated streak, while Toronto was riding a five-game unbeaten run in all competitions.
After a 3-1 loss in a mostly lackluster outing, the Earthquakes' streak ended with a thud while Toronto's keeps burning.
Up until the final 20 minutes of the game – when they fielded a hail-mary cluster of five attacking players – the Quakes couldn't establish a solid spell of possession or momentum. And from coach Frank Yallop on down, the most frequently used word in the postgame locker room was "flat."
"I thought we were flat in the first half especially," Yallop told reporters. "The energy wasn't good and we didn't play particularly well at all. Our finishing wasn't great – and we have been clinical at times this year. Despite [our] chances, we couldn't manage an equalizer in the last 15 minutes."
Yallop added that it's especially hard to recover from a goal like Chad Barrett's in the 31st minute on a night when you're not firing on all cylinders.
"Once you concede a goal and you don't get going, you're not confident," he said. "We were not confident tonight – until maybe it was too late."
There's a fine line between confident and composed on the ball and a little too casual. On Saturday, the Quakes seemed to lack confidence in the early going and they never quite recovered. A series of miscues led to Toronto's opening goal, when Barrett collected and finished a poorly headed back-pass from defender Jason Hernandez to goalkeeper Joe Cannon.
"I think we both know that we could have done a little better on that play," said Hernandez. "At the same time, we've had four shutouts in a row, so we know what we're doing back there. Over the course of a season, you're going to make mistakes [and], unfortunately, today was that day."
For the Quakes, Saturday night's match against Toronto marked the beginning of a tough, two-game stretch in which the team hosts Columbus on June 2 and travels to face conference rival Dallas on June 5 before the break.
Given the parity in MLS, no team likes to concede valuable points at home, and the "flat" performance against TFC was a missed opportunity for San Jose to distance themselves from their peers in a tightly packed Western Conference in which the Quakes now share the third-place spot with Colorado and Houston.
"You have good days and [you] have bad days, and you hope that your good days are on game day," said Cannon. "That wasn't the case tonight.
"From the front line to the back, nothing was as crisp as it was the past few weeks. I think we all know that. It's nothing to overanalyze – just a bad night. We'll learn from it, move on, and look forward to a good night against Columbus."

Possibly. It's thought that sleeping fewer than six hours a night could be linked to increased blood pressure.
People who sleep five hours or less a night may be at higher risk of developing high blood pressure or worsening already high blood pressure. There's also an increased risk of high blood pressure for people who sleep between five and six hours a night.
It's thought that sleep helps your blood regulate stress hormones and helps your nervous system remain healthy. Over time, a lack of sleep could hurt your body's ability to regulate stress hormones, leading to high blood pressure.
Sleeping seven to eight hours a night may play a role in the treatment and prevention of high blood pressure. Talk to your doctor for tips on getting better sleep, especially if you have high blood pressure.
One possible, treatable cause of your lack of sleep contributing to high blood pressure is obstructive sleep apnea — a sleep disorder in which you repeatedly stop and start breathing during sleep. Talk with your doctor if you feel tired even after a full night's sleep, especially if you snore. Obstructive sleep apnea may be the cause, and it can increase your risk of high blood pressure, as well as heart problems and other health issues.

Facing massive deficits in recent years, states are seeking to address revenue shortfalls through new and creative approaches to revenue generation. One of these solutions is the aggressive interpretation of unclaimed property laws and auditing of unclaimed property held by corporations. Based on current trends, most Fortune 500 companies have, or soon will face unclaimed or abandoned property claims in significant amounts, far in excess of that was seen in prior years. Long accepted as a means to reunite rightful owners with their property, states have begun using aggressive tactics to identify unclaimed property, including the use of third party auditors on contingency fees, lookback periods of up to 29 years, and aggressive extrapolation methods.
This webcast will build upon a survey and whitepaper published by The Conference Board Governance Center titled: Expanded Liability in Unclaimed Property. It will address:
• Current practices by the states and their auditors including: extrapolation methods, tactics to increase fines and fees and changing definitions of unclaimed property.
• Practical approaches companies can take to mitigating the financial risk to the organization.
• Possible approaches for engaging the states on this issue, including collective action and litigation.
Who Should Attend: This webcast will be of interest to executives in finance, tax, audit and legal who are responsible for the oversight and execution of a company's unclaimed property processes and procedures.

Upper Crust closes most restaurants
Pizza chain lets go 140 workers
A financially-struggling Boston-based gourmet pizza parlor chain has closed most of its restaurants and let go 140 workers as it seeks a cash infusion to stave off a permanent shutdown.
A trustee overseeing Upper Crust's bankruptcy said at a hearing Tuesday in federal bankruptcy court that the chain closed restaurants Monday night because it had just four days of supplies and only $14,000 in cash after company executives paid themselves a month's salary in advance.
The business, which filed for bankruptcy protection last month, needs $120,000 to keep doors open. The Boston Globe reports that if the company can obtain funding within few days, it could avoid a permanent shutdown. So far, Upper Crust has closed 10 of 16 locations.
The chain once had 20 locations in the region.

Today marks the last day of the 2012 FPA Experience conference, and more importantly, the end of the tenure of FPA CEO Marv Tuttle. Marv's been at the helm of the the Financial Planning Association since 2004, when he took over the post from outgoing CEO Janet McCallen. McCallen was fine administrator with years of "association" experience, who helped put the fledgling FPA on sound financial footing after it was formed in the merger of the IAFP and ICFP in 2000.
But in truth, I always felt that McCallen should have been working for Tuttle and not the other way around. In my view (for what it's worth), with the possible exception of the merger itself, naming Marv as CEO was the smartest thing any financial planning association has done in the 30 years I've been observing the profession. In fact, Marv Tuttle should serve as the role model for future heads of all the financial advisory organizations.
Marv started his career in the financial planning community as the communications director of the old ICFP back in 1983. That was a year before I started writing for Financial Planning magazine, which means Marv and I go back way farther than either of us probably cares to admit. During that time, Marv served as publisher of The Journal of Financial Planning for 20 years, the acting head of the ICFP, second in command at the ICFP (to David Brand), second in command at the FPA (to McCallen) and finally as CEO of the FPA, all positions that have gone to the heads of lesser people. But the phrase that keeps running through my mind which best describes Marv is that "it was never about him."
Marv's decades of experience at the professionally minded ICFP (the original organization for holders of the CFP mark) gave him an invaluable understanding of the professional mission of the financial planning "movement," where client-centered advice fits into the financial services industry, and the challenges it faces in gaining both credibility and market share. This isn't something one can gain by reading a book, skimming some magazines, or holding a few "discussions with industry leaders." This experience began to show as Marv helped McCallen navigate the conflicts inherent in the financial industry to increase revenues: unlike many "professionally trained association executives," Marv understood that while a professional organization needs to "be in business" in order to better serve its members, it's not a "business" in the sense that generating revenues should be its primary concern.
When Marv became CEO, his vision of the FPA as an organization to serve professional, client-centered advisors and their clients became even more apparent. The FPA filed the lawsuit challenging the FINRA/SEC's attempt to extend the broker exemption (aka, the "Merrill Lynch Rule") to managing assets. While clearly in the consumers' best interests, the suit was not likely to endear the FPA to the huge—and growing—potential market of breakaway brokers. Under Marv's guidance, the FPA also formally recognized the conflicts between advisors and BDs, politely but firmly asking its own broker-dealer division to create a separate organization (which became the Financial Services Institute).
Once again, it was a move that had to hurt the FPA's bottom line, but it was also the right thing to do. And, in perhaps Marv's crowning achievement, his broad perspective on the financial planning community enabled him to look beyond the apparent differences between the FPA, NAPFA and the CFP Board and be instrumental in bringing together the three major planning organizations into the Coalition for Financial Planning, which someday could form the basis of a cohesive advisory profession.
In these and myriad other initiatives and decisions, Marv has taken himself (and sometimes even the FPA) out of the equation, and used his industry knowledge and experience to guide the FPA to do what's best for the advisory profession and the clients they serve. The result has been a remarkable string of accomplishments that no "industry outsider" and possibly no other "insider" could have hoped to achieve.
I can only speculate that Marv also played a significant role in putting the FPA on the track for continued successes in the years to come by helping the executive committee to forgo its search process and name his protégé, Lauren Schadle, as his successor. With 18 years experience at the FPA, including 8 years as COO, Schadle is undoubtedly the best qualified candidate for the job, and the person best able to continue Marv's low-key, industry-savvy guidance of the financial planning profession.
Her appointment is perhaps the ultimate tribute to Marv Tuttle's lasting legacy—one that will continue to be felt in so many ways for many years to come.

Ed Hardy Founder Christian Audigier -- I HATE Jon Gosselin
Ed Hardy Founder I HATE Jon Gosselin
Jon Gosselin's bromance with Ed Hardy founder Christian Audigier is officially over -- and just like Jon's marriage to Kate ... things didn't end well.
As you may recall -- Gosselin and Audigier were best buds during Jon's reality show heyday ... and even vacationed together while planning a children's clothing line.
But that's all changed according to Audigier ... who had nothing but bad things to say about Jon while cruising out of Bootsy Bellows in Hollywood last night.
Christian doesn't explain his sudden hate -- but Ed Hardy himself recently spoke out saying he's also not too fond of Gosselin ... because after associating with Jon, the company's sales TANKED.

As start to I write this, I've just finished watching the third presidential debate and I'm contemplating the power of the Etch-a-Sketch. Just as Mitt Romney somehow made a significant slice of the electorate forget everything that happened prior to debate #1, now left-leaners like your humble tippler are hoping debates #2 and #3 will make everyone forget that first one.
And what does this have to do with today's Drink of the Week? Well, let's just say that after what I've been through the last few weeks, it's time to move on — from the bourbon drinks I've been promoting here week after week and lots of other things besides. Also, this week, I've personally paid for every single ingredient. For this week, at least, we're freebie free.
Today's drink features a base spirit so classic it had all but disappeared until a few years back, and it's one I've been dying to try for ages: Old Tom gin. It's London dry gin's much sweeter cousin which apparently includes a bit of simple syrup in the mix. Original Old Tom gins were apparently mostly gins that had sugar added to them to cover up some nasty flavors. Today's very nice version — which really isn't bad on its own — is from Hayman's Distillers.
I was also rather taken with the name of today's cocktail. I've been feeling like it's time for a long-delayed return trip to my one-time near-second home of Las Vegas. If things go badly at the 21 and craps tables for me, and well they might, this drink could certainly help remove some of the sting.
The Casino
2 ounces Old Tom gin
1/4 ounce maraschino liqueur
1/4 ounce fresh lemon juice
2 dashes orange bitters
1 lemon twist (garnisth)
Combine the liquid ingredients in a cocktail shaker or mixing glass with lots of ice and stir vigorously. (You can shake if you like, and you know I usually like to shake, but here I really don't find it necessary.) Pour into a chilled cocktail/martini glass, add lemon twist, and drink a toast to the right kind of big changes and better luck.
First of all, since I haven't seen it in too many other places, I pretty much followed the lead of a 2008 blog post on Old Tom gin by England's Jay Hepburn, but it should be noted there are other versions of this drink, in fact it can be tinkered with quite a bit.
For example, I know from my own experiments that this drink can also work very nicely with regular gin (I was using Beefeater), though I'm not sure if you still want to use the bitters. On the other hand, there is a super dry version of this drink that uses only dashes of the lemon juice and maraschino but throws in a cherry as the garnish. I'm sure that could work too and I might try it that way sometime.
On the other hand, the first time I made this, I forgot to use bitters with both the Old Tom and my London dry gin version and found it extremely drinkable. The casino seems to be a drink that can take an awful lot of abuse and not really be harmed. More proof that the house always wins.

Michele Meyer-Shipp, Prudential Financial's newly appointed chief diversity officer, has every reason to be proud of the company she works for.
For the 12th year in a row, Prudential has earned top honors for diversity practices, particularly for its commitment to programs and practices that support the inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender employees (LGBT), and the company has earned the highest score on the Human Rights Campaign's (HRC) Corporate Equality Index.
"Prudential values having a diverse workforce not only because it enriches our company, but also because it builds our company's future," Meyer-Shipp says. "If you look at the changing demographics in our society, it is very clear that the majority will soon be the minority, so if we want to succeed as a company, we need to represent every community, serve every community and be able to market our products to every community."
Enabling that means placing a great emphasis on education and awareness, both in-house as well as externally. Prudential has been focused on both these angles for many years now, and the company's commitment to raising awareness on different communities both within its workforce and in society-at-large means that it is ahead of the curve and a thought leader in an area that is just going to gain in importance going forward, Meyer-Shipp says.
The hallmark of the education/awareness process that's part of the Prudential culture is the involvement of its employee resource groups, which are basically mini communities representing all kinds of different minorities. These six groups play an important role in furthering the efforts of the company to create a diverse workforce and in increasing the knowledge and appreciation of diversity in-house.
But more importantly, they help Prudential feel the pulse of the group they're part of in the broader world, Meyer-Shipp says, and they can help the company get a sense of what a particular group needs by way of outreach and service.
The Employee Association of Gay Men, Lesbians, Bisexuals and Transgenders (EAGLES), for example–one of Prudential's oldest employee resource groups–played a key role in Prudential's recently released LGBT Financial Experience Study.
"Groups like EAGLES help us put these studies together because we can ask whether the questions we include make sense, whether they resonate with the group in question or whether we should be asking different questions," Meyer-Shipp says. "We get a sense from our employee resource groups on where we should target our surveys and how best to construct them."

Welcome to the Multilingual Bookbinding and Conservation Dictionary, a project created by Suzy Morgan, a conservator at ASU Library, and Peter Verheyen, creator of the Book Arts Web and the BOOK_ARTS-L listserv. It is an international dictionary of bookbinding and conservation terms, free of use to anyone.
The dictionary is currently undergoing some major back-end updates, which may cause it to go down frequently during this period, or show strange errors on pages. But, it's totally going to be worth it, once these updates are complete! Thanks for your patience!
The goal of this project is to combine, in one place, all the known bookbinding and book conservation terminology, in as many languages as possible. We are also including both current and archaic terms, to make the dictionary useful for both practicing conservators and bookbinders, as well as book history scholars. There are already a variety of multilingual dictionaries in existence, but none so comprehensive as what we envision for this project. In essence, we have taken every available multilingual dictionary of bookbinding, conservation or library words, and combined them.
We are not seeking to define these terms, but rather provide a simple tool for translating words that can be used together with other tools such as Google Translate. There a variety of bookbinding dictionaries available that already have rich definitions of these terms - definitions are provided only when similar-sounding terms need to be clarified, or at the whim of the editor.
You may notice that some words have different translations (or no translation at all!) according to different dictionaries, which is where we need your help! We are very interested in finding collaborators to help us fill in the gaps in those languages other than English and German, and cross-check existing words in those languages for accuracy.
If you'd like to become a wiki editor and participate in the project, please send an email to: Suzy (at) gmail (dot) com and include your desired user name in the email. If you don't want to be an editor, but still have suggestions for corrections, a compliment, or want new words to be added, please send Suzy an email!
What is included
Most of the terms from Etherington and Roberts' "Bookbinding and the Conservation of Books". Other terms have also been added from various other dictionaries. Currently, the dictionary contains about 3,090 entries.
A special section of profiles of bookbinders has also been added.
What is not included
Translations and full descriptions of colors, pigments, or chemicals or other common materials can be found elsewhere on CAMEO: Conservation & Art Materials Encyclopedia Online. Most printmaking and typography terms are not included within the scope of this project, at this time.
This project would not be possible without the generous help of Jenny Hille, Sara Rubinow, and Peter Verheyen, who have all helped with providing corrections and suggestions for improvement.
View All Pages
Browse the categories below to view a list of terms in that language. You can also search for specific terms using the search box. Please note that most non-English terms do not have their own separate pages yet.
Bibliography of other multilingual resources
A full list of other bookbinding, library, archives, and conservation vocabularies is also available. Many of these were used as source material for this project.
Resources for editors
A list of templates, reference shortcuts and other tools is available, to help keep the style of the dictionary consistent.
How is the dictionary updated?
While the initial input of data into this wiki was done in a highly technical and automated way, new words and other updates are done by hand, with love.
