Hi Hanne, It is long over due that I have found you. One becomes lost with projects and such and then one day finds something grand that was always there. I see a wonderful gallery here and this one is simply stunning. It is easy to see at a glance that you are a master. I found you as I found time to check to see where my Wurtherington Diary art was going. Duy Truong is my senior artist and she is the guiding light for all the art in my books. She moved from her home in Vietnam to Canada on December 4 and is adjusting to her new surroundings.
Thank you so much for your kind visit and comment on my painting, Reynold. I appreciate the introduction to your work and look forward to visiting your gallery.

The title of this painting, "Where the Boys Are" is a tribute to Connie Francis. Although there are no boys visible in this painting, the girl obviously has her eye on at least one of them.

Life in Christian County, Kentucky... More About Trees and Plants...
A large patch of these tiny wildflowers have been blooming on the bank
above the old roadbed on the south side of our little property. They are so tiny that you could easily overlook just one plant in bloom, but when they bloom in mass, they make a splash of color that you can't miss.
These are small bluets, also known as Quaker ladies. This variety (Hedyotis caerulea, formerly known as Houstonia caerulea) is common to western Kentucky (according to my Kentucky wildflowers book and the online wildflower guide to the Land Between The Lakes area of KY/TN.)
They must be tough little flowers, since they are flourishing in an area of our yard that bakes to a crispy crunch every August. They are annuals, so probably their seed has already matured before the hot dry weather of Kentucky's late summer arrives.
Some other varieties of Quaker ladies have yellow centers, but our Quaker ladies have violet hearts to match the outer edges of their petals. They are so petite that you'll probably never see them in a bouquet. They're just sweet little flowers of the field.
Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land. --Song of Solomon 2:12

This week I'm looking back at the invention of the forward pass in hockey. Way back when hockey first started out, players were not allowed to pass the puck forward. Hockey was played in a similar fashion to modern day rugby, where players would line up and pass back and forth to each other trying to spring a player who could skate the puck up the ice past the defense and create scoring opportunities.
As you can imagine, without the ability to pass the puck forward the flow of the game was considerably slower than today's game. This meant that players didn't tire as quickly as they do today. There wasn't the frantic pace to the game that we see today, and most good players at the turn of the 20th century would play 50-60 minutes a game with only a couple substitutions per team. The longer a game would go the more important fit and fast players became. Players able to speed past defends and generate scoring opportunities were essential to good teams.
In 1913 Frank Patrick, and his brother Lester, were running the Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA). A league they had started in 1911 which they hoped would rival the National Hockey Association (NHA); the precursor to the NHL. Always looking to innovate the game, the Patricks decided to allow forward passing within the center third of the ice. What we now call the neutral zone.
Forward passing did not sit well with many hockey purists of the day. Many felt that this would lead to more loafing. Loafing was a penalty at the time, as it was considered unsportsmanlike to stand around while your team is battling for the puck or trying to make plays. Purists felt that forward passing would allow players to loaf at center ice while waiting for a pass. Basically, they didn't want cherrypickers. Also, it was felt that forward passing would ruin the strategy of the game and somehow make it less pure. Advocates for the forward pass made comparisons to lacrosse and American football as sports where forward passing didn't hurt the overall game. (American football had just allowed forward passing in 1906 after 18 people across the country died due to mass scrums)
After the end of the 1913-14 season, the PCHA champion Victoria Aristocrats traveled to Toronto to take on the Toronto Blueshirts(now called the Maple Leafs) of the NHA for the World Champion and the Stanley Cup. Because the two leagues played with different rules, the series would be played with alternating rules per game depending on who was considered the home team. Not over did this mean that there would be no forward passing in Toronto home games, but at the time the NHA also played with a 7th skater, the Rover. Toronto would go on to win the series 3-0, but Victoria felt that goaltending was the difference and it wasn't due to their style of play.
The following year, Frank Patrick would assemble a fantastic Vancouver Millionaires team which he both played for and coached. The star of the team was Cyclone Taylor, who had formerly played in the NHA and had once stated that he was opposed to the forward pass. However, it was clear that with his skill the forward pass would only help his game.
Vancouver would win the PCHA championship and would play Ottawa of the NHA for the Stanley Cup in 1915. Ottawa was the club Cyclone Taylor has played on when he first won the Stanley Cup in 1909. Ottawa was so sure they would win the Stanley Cup that the NHA didn't even bring it with them to Vancouver.
At this point, NHA teams has been practicing the forward pass in anticipation of playing PCHA teams at the end of the year. However, since Vancouver was accustomed to it, they were able to come out flying. After taking game one of the series, playing with the forward pass, game two would be played without forward passing. However, because Vancouver had been used to playing a faster paced game all year long they were able to eventually wear down Ottawa. By the third period Ottawa was gassed and would go on to lose 8-3. The third game was even worse, as Vancouver won 12-3 playing with the forward pass, legitimising the strategy and rule change.
The NHA would fold after one more season, and it would take until 1918-19 for the NHL to adopt its own forward passing rule, but the PCHA changed the way hockey was played forever in 1913. Proving that the west coast is the best coast.

Published May 8, 2014 by Createspace
Years after leaving Cayman because of her notorious serial killer mother, Angel Mason returns as an inspector on the police force. On the twentieth anniversary of her mother's capture, someone is murdered in the same manner as her mother's victims. To complicate matters more, Angel's old flame, Bren McDougal, is assigned to help her with capturing the killer, and it's soon undeniably clear that the passion between them is hotter than ever. As the killer repeats her mother's deadly pattern, Angel must face the terrifying truth she's been hiding for twenty years.
My Thoughts…..
This is an unusual crime novel. The twists and turns kept me intrigued from the first sentence to the last sentence. The fact that there is not one but two serial killers and one more person who fears they may be a serial killer made it absolutely amazing. I could not stop myself from guessing who the real killer was. I am glad to say that I was wrong for most of the book and surprised at who the actual serial killer turned out to be.
The romance was secondary, but yet an important part of the story. Elke Feuer was able to pull the storylines together perfectly, making me cheer for Angel to find her happiness. I was so happy when Bren didn't turn his back on her when the going got tough. He fought for her and showed his true feelings to her without pushing her into situations that she was uncomfortable with.
Anyone who enjoys a great mystery with plenty of suspense and some romance thrown in should read Deadly Bloodlines. I could not put it down and look forward to more from Elke Feuer.

Last December, after posting my "favorite crime novels of 2015" list, I put together a rather different assessment of the year's new offerings in this genre. Rather than confine myself to picking 10 books (all released in the United States) that I judged to have been particularly well-written and memorable—a traditional and potentially valuable, but admittedly limiting exercise—I expanded my criteria to spotlight an assortment of other meritorious mystery, crime, and thriller works, some of which had barely failed to win placement on my top-10 roster.
So pleased was I with that follow-up column, I've decided to try something along the same lines again. In the piece below, you'll find that a few of the categories from 2015 have been altered slightly for 2016, and others added. However, my intent—to evaluate my last 12 months of crime-fiction reading through criteria I think can be as worthwhile and revealing as picking my "favorite" books (which I did two weeks ago)—remains the same.
Series Debuts That Left Me Hungry for More: Con Lehane brought new meaning to the term "library check-out" with Murder at the 42nd Street Library, his nimbly constructed first entry in a series built around Raymond Ambler, a middle-aged curator at the New York Public Library's historic main branch, whose experience collecting crime fiction for that great marble institution has left him with some useful snooping skills. Steve Hamilton may have temporarily set aside his usual snooping character, Alex McKnight, but he hasn't abandoned the genre, as he showed with The Secret Life of Nick Mason, about a career offender who's sprung from a maximum-security federal penitentiary by a crime boss and fellow inmate, on the strict condition that he accept whatever assignments that boss gives him, be it troubleshooting, body-guarding…or assassination. Beloved Poison, by E.S. (Elaine) Thomson, acquainted us with androgynous young apothecary Jem Flockhart, who upsets the customary order at a crumbling London hospital in the mid-19th century with her discovery of small, symbolic coffins concealed behind a chapel wall. Walt Whitman was a hell of a poet, but J. Aaron Sanders imagined, in Speakers of the Dead, that he could also hold his own in 1840s Manhattan as an amateur crime-solver, fighting against body snatchers and anti-dissection zealots to prove a friend innocent of murdering her husband. And in Oscar de Muriel's alternately macabre and witty The Strings of Murder, foppish Inspector Ian Frey is dismissed from Scotland Yard in 1888 only to wind up in Edinburgh, looking into the locked-room slaying of a violinist and partnered with a larger-than-life detective, Adolphus "Nine-Nails" McGray.
Most Welcome Detective Comebacks: It was assumed there would only ever be 29 original novels featuring Erle Stanley Gardner's comically mismatched Los Angeles private eyes, Bertha Cool and Donald Lam. After all, Gardner (who also famously created defense attorney Perry Mason) died in 1970. This week, however, publisher Hard Case Crime is releasing a "lost" 30th Cool and Lam tale, The Knife Slipped. Written in 1939, and meant to be the second entry in that series (following The Bigger They Come), The Knife Slipped was rejected by Gardner's publisher and then apparently set aside, forgotten. Only now can we enjoy this intricately twisted mystery about an alleged case of adultery, behind which lies more nefarious shenanigans. Making his own surprise reappearance this year was New York City shamus John Shaft, who featured in 1970's Shaft and six subsequent yarns by Ernest Tidyman. Everyone thought that complicated man was dead and buried, but Shaft's Revenge found him back on the streets of Manhattan in 1972, having been hired—posthumously—by Harlem crime lord Knocks Persons to figure out who gunned Persons down in his own home. David F. Walker does an estimable job of capturing Tidyman's third-person style, and there's plenty of sex and violence to be had in these pages…which is exactly what any Shaft fan would expect. The ending of Shaft's Revenge leaves enough loose ends to tie up in a sequel; let's hope Walker writes one. Oh, and I can't fail to mention Walter Satterthwait's New York Nocturne: The Return of Miss Lizzie, which provided a surprise second shot at amateur-sleuthing fame to Lizzie Borden, the spinster charged in 1892 with violently exterminating her father and stepmother in Fall River, Massachusetts. As with Miss Lizzie (1989), New York Nocturne pairs the remarkably resourceful Borden with Amanda Burton, now a fashion-conscious 16-year-old who's journeyed to the Big Apple in 1924 for a visit with her evidently prosperous uncle, only to have that relative done in by somebody wielding—what else?—a hatchet.
Second Books That Justified My Original Faith in Their Authors: In John A. Connell's Spoils of Victory (his sequel to 2015's Ruins of War), Mason Collins, a former Chicago homicide detective and ex–prisoner of war, now serving as a U.S. Army criminal investigator in Germany during the aftermath of World War II, is dispatched to a Bavarian resort town, where a curiously high-living Counter Intelligence Corps agent, John Winstone, and his mistress meet a gruesome end. Collins' superiors would be satisfied to have those tragedies recorded as murder-suicide; but our often-insubordinate hero becomes convinced that Winstone's demise was related to an extensive black-market operation involving erstwhile Nazis as well as advantageously placed American military personnel. Meanwhile, in his follow-up to last year's excellent A June of Ordinary Murders, former Irish Times editor Conor Brady's The Eloquence of the Dead propelled us back to 1887 Dublin, where Detective Sergeant Joe Swallow—hounded by a ravenous press—hopes to discern who was responsible for a pawnbroker's premature passing. His dogged probing will lead him to a much larger plot having to do with thefts of valuable property from once-prosperous Irish estates. In Antonia Hodgson's The Last Confession of Thomas Hawkins, the congenital ne'er-do-well of that title (previously the center of attention in 2014's The Devil in the Marshalsea) seeks to identify the slayer of a London carpenter in 1728, before he himself is charged with, and hanged for, the offense. Finally, Chris Holm's Red Right Hand invited us once more into the company of "hit-man-killing hit man" Michael Hendricks (The Killing Kind), who is recruited in these pages to unearth a supposedly deceased FBI informant spotted at the scene of a terrorist attack on San Francisco's landmark Golden Gate Bridge.
Crime Novels That Deserved Rediscovery: Black Wings Has My Angel, Elliott Chaze's reissued 1953 novel about a pair of larcenous lovers—far too cunning for their own good—scheming to knock over an armored car; and the "new, expanded" edition of Road to Perdition, Max Allan Collins' action-filled, often-moving, and never-before-published full novelization of the 2002 big-screen gangster film of that same name…which was itself based on Collins' 1998 graphic novel, Road to Perdition.
Series I Am Sorry to See Brought to a Close: David Morrell's 2013 Victorian suspense novel, Murder as a Fine Art, introduced 19th-century essayist and notorious British opium addict Thomas De Quincey into the ranks of "celebrity sleuths." De Quincey and his progressive-minded youngest daughter, Emily, went on to save queen and country in Inspector of the Dead (2015) and turned up again in last month's hard-steaming Ruler of the Night. Unfortunately, Morrell says that third historical thriller marks the end of his De Quincey series. I doubt I'm the only one who hopes that he's lying. Also concluding this year is Alex Grecian's Jack the Ripper trilogy, comprising the three most recent books in that author's series featuring late-19th-century inspector Walter Day and his fellow Scotland Yard officers: The Devil's Workshop (2014), The Harvest Man (2015), and Lost and Gone Forever (2016). Grecian told Crimespree Magazine that the malevolent Jack is a "disturbingly easy [character] for me to write… but he's not the most pleasant fellow to have around, so I'm glad to see the back of him now."
Three Nonfiction Books Worth Adding to Your Library: Hard-Boiled Anxiety: The Freudian Desires of Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, Ross Macdonald, and Their Detectives, in which Maryland librarian Karen Huston Karydes looks at how the stories and protagonists developed by America's classic Big Three detective novelists reflected their own inner demons and family woes. It's All One Case: The Illustrated Ross Macdonald Archives, by Paul Nelson and Kevin Avery, is a handsome collection of wide-ranging interviews with the creator of compassionate private investigator Lew Archer, as well as photographs and other Macdonald ephemera. Last but not least, Lucy Sussex's Blockbuster!: Fergus Hume and The Mystery of the Hansom Cab is a deep dive into the history of English-born Australian author Hume and his much-lauded 1886 whodunit, engagingly framed by an examination of Melbourne, Australia's late-19th-century society, early Down Under detective fiction, and Victorian theater culture.
British Novels I Most Enjoyed This Year: I usually confine myself to writing on this page about crime fiction published in the United States, but that's not all I read. 2016 brought forth a trio of UK works I particularly enjoyed: Little Sister, the third installment in David Hewson's series about Amsterdam police brigadier Pieter Vos and his feisty Frieslander colleague Laura Bakker who are called on here to recapture supposedly dangerous twin young female singers on the loose after a decade's incarceration at a psychiatric institution and also resolve dusty rumors of sexual abuse; The Sign of Fear, the fourth of Robert Ryan's entrancing novels headlined by Sherlock Holmes' former sidekick, John H. Watson, who in this 1917-set yarn turns to a ruthless German spy for help in locating five senior members of Britain's War Injuries Compensation Board, all abducted by protestors upset at the government's stinginess with funds to help debilitated servicemen; and The Detective and the Devil, by Lloyd Shepherd, in which tenacious Constable Charles Horton of London's River Police is tasked, in 1815, with investigating horrific bloodshed linked to the powerful, secretive East India Company.
Three Authors to Watch More Closely in the Future: Andrew Gross—Turning away from his string of suburban suspense tales, Gross instead delivered, in The One Man, a diligently researched World War II-era thriller about a Polish-born American intelligence officer who infiltrates the Nazi concentration camps at Auschwitz in hopes of freeing a physicist with key knowledge of atomic-bomb technology. Gross says his next novel will be "based on the daring [1942] British-Norwegian raid on Vemork in Norway that ended the Nazis' hopes for the atomic bomb." Tim Baker—His debut novel, Fever City, revisits the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy through three different time frames and casts of intriguing characters; and though its plot breaks little new ground, the novel's polished prose and noirish atmospherics suggest Baker might yet become an important contributor to this literary field. Joe Ide—Although I had some trouble engaging with his slang-dense first novel, IQ, about a mixed-race, unlicensed LA PI named Isaiah Quintabe, who tries to protect a rap-music star from harm, Ide might well help to reinvigorate the gumshoe subgenre with his intimidating and intelligent protagonist, his eccentric secondary players, and his sharp wit. More IQ, please.

2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee KBB Expert Review
As Chrysler's 2011 Rookie of the Year, Jeep's 2012 Grand Cherokee enters its sophomore season with minor enhancements (improved fuel economy, revised automatic transmission for V8 models) added to what in 2011 was an all-new architecture. And this all-new Jeep Grand Cherokee did for the segment what many manufacturers have – with their redesigns – refused to do: retain real off-road capability while improving on-road dynamics, interior comfort and overall refinement. Helped in no small way by an all-new V6 as standard equipment, 2012 sees the bar raised an equal amount on the upper end of the Grand Cherokee ladder with an all-new SRT8, the brand's performance halo. This is the bigger/badder variant of what is already a very responsive platform.
You'll Like This Car If...
If you envision using your
SUV for both "sport" and "utility," the
2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee is tough to beat. In the Snowbelt Jeep's three 4WD systems provide needed security through all four seasons, while the Grand Cherokee's 2WD system and its rear-wheel-drive (RWD) architecture provide a balance of handling and traction not (typically) available in front-wheel-drive
You May Not Like This Car If...
To create a platform with both on- and off-road capability, there are inevitably some compromises of interior room and accommodation. And while the Grand Cherokee's wheelbase stretch for 2011 created significantly more room for rear-seat passengers, this remains a 2-row SUV, more tightly drawn than many car-based competitors in the same price category. In short, if "room" is more important than "roam," there may be better choices available to you.
What's New for 2012
Given the very big changes made in 2011, this is a year of tweaking a "still new" redesign. V6 models receive an electrohydraulic power steering system, while the V8's automatic transmission now provides six speeds when shifted in manual mode. And the HEMI-equipped SRT8 is revived, with 6.4 liters and 470 horsepower of urge.
Driving It
Driving Impressions
At its price point the new-for-2011 Grand Cherokee was one of the most capable on- and off-roaders available. The key is adaptation of an all-independent suspension for enhanced on-road composure and comfort, while not compromising its prowess when the pavement becomes unpaved. And for those with a real penchant for the "road less traveled," Jeep's available Quadra-Lift air suspension (4x4 only) impresses with its ability to clear large objects off-road, while hunkering down beneath the turbulent air at higher on-road speeds. Of course, while giving the chassis and suspension its appropriate due, we shouldn't forget powertrains. The new V6 (2011) is a huge improvement over the previous 3.8-liter lump, the HEMI has recently gained improved efficiency with its fuel-saving, multi-displacement technology, and the SRT8's 6.4 liter can give Porsche's Cayenne a credible run for its money. Finally, the Grand Cherokee's power-assisted steering feels better connected to the wheels, and the wheels – via careful attention to spring and shock rates – feel better connected to the road.
Favorite Features
Quadra-Lift Air Suspension
Available on 4WD models only, the Quadra-Lift option allows Jeep enthusiasts to join the rarefied "air" of Land Rover and Range Rover customers with adjustable ride height fully compatible with virtually any road or off-road condition. What is described as "normal ride height" provides just over eight inches of clearance for improved fuel economy via enhanced aerodynamics. If you're venturing off-road, you can adjust the clearance upward by 1.3 or 2.6 inches, while, if parked you can lower the vehicle 1.5 inches. The lower figure, of course, eases passenger loading and unloading.
Overland Summit New Saddle leather
In between tax hikes, the design team at Jeep has thrown a bone to the nation's off-roading affluent with the best reason yet to opt for "natural" hide. The leather for the Overland Summit seemingly covers everything in the interior of this grandest Grand Cherokee except the windshield. While wishing they wouldn't spell the model designation out on the seat itself, those popping for the top trim will be rewarded with each and every drive.
Vehicle Details
In its redesign of the Grand Cherokee for 2011, the Chrysler design team executed what can only be called a seismic shift in both design and material selection. In its previous generation (2006 through 2010) the Grand Cherokee was notable for hard plastics and, to a lesser extent, hard seating. Further, the rear seat was short on legroom and difficult to access. With a longer wheelbase the rear seat is made much more accessible, and once inside you'll enjoy expanded use of soft materials, real wood trim (in upscale variants) and a much more concerted effort to make the driver and passenger experience everything you'd want in a luxury SUV. This is without – of course – the penalty of a luxury price. Today's Grand Cherokee can now credibly play on a global stage, regardless of whether that stage is asphalt or rock.
There's a unity to the new Grand Cherokee sheet metal that we haven't seen since its initial launch two decades ago. To be sure, the familiar cues – 7-slot grille, hexagonal wheel arches and minimal front and rear overhangs – remain, but the whole now comprises various elements much better integrated than before. And visual upgrades in all trim levels, from base Laredo to Overland Summit, result in a 2012 Grand Cherokee family looking decidedly more upscale than previous generations. We especially like the wheel-and-tire fitments, in combination with shortened overhangs; even the Laredo's standard 17-inch alloys fill the wheel wells in a capable, off-road-worthy fashion.
Notable Standard Equipment
Despite a modest base price of around $28K (2WD), the 2012 Grand Cherokee comes with dual-zone A/C, rear liftgate "flipper" glass, remote key fobs, Jeep's Media Center 130 AM/FM/CD radio, leather-wrapped steering wheel and 17-inch alloy wheels. Those placing a premium on active safety will enjoy standard ESC (electronic stability control), electronic roll mitigation and ABS. And interested consumers should note that in combination with a slight decrease in base window sticker (for 2012) comes a realignment of standard equipment and optional extras.
Notable Optional Equipment
For those wanting to keep the MSRP low and the appearance of their new Grand Cherokee up(scale), the Laredo X should check most boxes, as it provides a number of enhancements – cosmetic and functional – not available on the base Laredo. And for those wanting to enhance the Jeep experience even further, a number of chassis improvements will do just that, beginning with Quadra-Drive II (includes 2-speed transfer case and Hill Descent Control), Quadra-Lift Air Suspension (adjustable ride height for both off-road adventure and on-road composure) and Selec-Terrain. Selec-Terrain is Jeep's electronic take on all-season capability, allowing for five traction control settings: Automatic, Sport, Snow, Sand/Mud and Rock.
Under the Hood
With the reintroduction of the Grand Cherokee SRT8, the Jeep customer can enjoy a veritable "holy trinity" of exciting powertrains. The standard 3.6 liter approaches V8-like horsepower and torque levels, while admitting that even when connected to the 2WD platform it has a great deal of mass to motivate. The 5.7-liter HEMI benefits from multi-displacement technology; based on need, the HEMI will operate on all eight cylinders or with reduced demand, only four. And with the increased displacement, horsepower and torque of the HEMI, owners can enjoy an enhanced towing capability (7,400 pounds versus 5,000 pounds in the V6). The SRT8's 6.4 liters and 470 horsepower bring new life, and a nationwide network of dealers, to the hyper-performance SUV segment.
3.6-liter V6

Pricing Notes
Like many vehicles in what is now broadly described as the SUV segment, a Grand Cherokee can command as much money as you're inclined to spend; the option sheet won't stop you. As noted earlier, a realignment of standard equipment on the base Laredo has resulted in an actual price reduction; it now starts at approximately $28K with destination. After that, the sky (BIG SKY) is the limit; the Laredo X 4x4 with typical amenities will run around $38K, the luxuriously outfitted Overland Summit 4x4 starts under $48K, and the reconfigured SRT8 will cost you over $60,000. In most parts of the country you can lease a base Laredo for around $300 per month. And if buying, be sure to check the KBB Fair Purchase Price to see what the Jeep Grand Cherokee is selling for in your area. While Jeep's Grand Cherokee is projected to hold higher resale value than previous generations, it remains an SUV whose resale values remain subject to fuel prices and availability. And Jeeps historically fall short in return on investment when compared to SUVs from Acura (at the high end), GMC or Honda.

How does this happen? Until recently I had never heard of Avan Jogia, a 16-year-old actor who has thus far only had smallish roles in smallish projects. Now it seems as if everywhere I turn there he is, even though he still hasn't had a breakthrough role. Well, Avan, you sure are pretty. I hope you have as much luck with the acting thing as you have with the getting your picture on the internet thing.
Oh, and the answer to my question, where do they come from? Canada, of course.

... if you are a peasant, you are supposed to play against the wolves....
Made my own claim of Josi being the actual heeler and not about to take her out and voted for Kanyra. Whether or not she is a wolf, I am not about to let my hut buddy end up being food for the flames.
*points*If she is a wolf and you know it - and you are not a wolf - game rules are that you guys are on opposite teams.
We don't need to argue about the point of the game here.If you are a peasant, it is your job to work against the werewolves.If you are a werewolf, it is your job to work against the peasants.Clear enough?
Has anyone said why they're voting for Kanrya? It just seems like she was chosen out of the blue, and a bunch of people jumped on the bandwagon.

Washington, Aug 13 (IANS) The white supremacist march in Charlottesville, Virginia has left three people dead and more than 20 injured from incidents that included a car slamming into a group of people and a helicopter crash.
The person who died when a car smashed into the crowd, there were also the pilot and a passenger in a state police helicopter that crashed outside the city, Xinhua quoted Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe as saying.
About the vicious car attack, Mayor Mike Signer made the announcement on Twitter, saying he was "heartbroken that a life has been lost here. I urge all people of good will–go home."
The car ran into a group of people protesting against the white supremacist march, and the driver has been arrested, according to eye-witnesses said.
For now, the identity and motive of the driver are unknown.
Authorities at the University of Virginia Medical Center confirmed the death following the car attack as well as the 19 it injured and who are being treated there.
They also noted that another 15 people were injured in violent clashes that morning.
In a brief appearance, US President Donald Trump condemned the violence and "hate" in the city.
"We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides, on many sides," Trump said in a statement from Bedminster, New Jersey, where he is spending his summer vacation.
Trump added that "it has been going on for a long time in our country — not Donald Trump, not Barack Obama. It has been going on for a long, long time. It has no place in America."
The car attack occurred around 1:00 pm, soon after McAuliffe declared a state of emergency in the city for the clashes between participants in the march and those opposed to it.
The controversial "Unite the Right" march was organised to protest the removal of a statue honouring Gen. Robert E. Lee, commander of the Confederate Army in the 19th-century American Civil War.

I'm a LIAR!?
Is there anything worse than being wrongfully accused!? Yesterday, I was supposed to hand in a short paper in class. It's a huge lecture room. I was ready to hand in my response, waiting for the professor to collect it. If there's one thing I truly hate, it's handing in work late when you FINISHED ON TIME. It sucks so bad!
Anyway, people were just randomnly circulating their sheets and I didn't even know where the hell the pile went. The professor said to hand it in at the back of the room. Later, when lecture ended, I went on a break like everyone else (we get a 10 minute break before tutorial begins). It didn't cross my mind to leave my paper at the back then, and I figured I'd drop it after tutorial ends. Fast forward to tutorial, professor's gone (She stays for lectures only since tutorials are just movie screenings) AND so is the pile!!! FML. I emailed the prof...and??
She doesn't believe me. She thinks I just did my work late and lied to her, and that I should have fully known where the stupid pile was. GREAT! Now I'm a liar!? If there's one thing about me, it's that I always try to be honest. I HATE being called a liar.
Next time, I'll just directly hand the paper to the professor the moment I see her. I don't care if she's not collecting it yet. I'll just give it to her and run, end of story.

Happens a lot to me. People judge and assume all the time it sucks. Pisses me off. Especially hard in school when teachers are all assholes. Excuse my french.ReplyDelete
Ive had my fair share of bull like this. I feel you.
Being called liar when your not sucks.
ahh.. I've experienced this before, instead of homework it was an Assessment task, and that day i woke up late when i got to school the teacher left with the pile of sheets.. When i caught up he said your late 10marks off..... Then i tried explaining the situation and he said no need to lie anymore??... .-.ReplyDelete
Well reaction of the professor was not totally wrong if seen from her eyes..and you were also not lying so it was just an accident do take care hope it does not happen again :)ReplyDelete
Same thing happened to me a few years ago. My professor always assigned homework and only took it up a few times a semester. I guess I didn't hear him say hand it in and left the class without handing it in. That was a nice zero! I still passed college so hang in there!ReplyDeleteReplies
Everyone is a liar. Remember that :PReplyDelete
It has happened with me so I can totally relate to this . Just a human nature.Anyway .Loved the way you write.ReplyDelete
Following you ;).
Care to follow back?
You are not a liar! The only thing you should know that truth is on YOUR side! Don't blame yourself!ReplyDelete
That was awful...all I can say is I've been there...ReplyDelete

Hello friends! Has your Summer officially begun yet? I finished up a couple of weeks ago and have been taking advantage of my longer mornings and quality family time.
I do have exciting news to share that is really an answer to prayer. I have been teaching at my school for two years but have actually been working in a neighboring state. This had required a longer commute and made it quite difficult to keep up with everything in my home life. However, I recently found out that I got a job five minutes from where I live! To say that I am excited is an understatement!
I visited my new room and now my brain is working overtime in getting my mind wrapped around teaching second grade. One of the perks of this position will be that I will have more of an opportunity to blog and create. I have so many ideas but they have had to fall by the wayside in order to prioritize my home.
I look forward to this change and I plan on putting my summer time to good use by allowing my creative side to come out in my store and blog.
To start with, I have recieved quite a few contacts from all of you about updated calendars for the Teacher Binders. I am happy to say that all of my Binders have been updated for the 2015-2016 school year and will be added to my store shortly. I also wanted to share that there will be two new binders! Here is a bit of a blurry sneekpeek of one of them:

Now that hardly one month is left before the D day when aspirants attempt the CAT exam, it is important to gear up and strategies to utilise the limited time most effectively.
By now you must be aware of the theoretical aspects of solving the verbal and quantitative sections. The last months are time to hone the skills of accuracy and speed. Given that there are only 60 questions to attempt within time constraints and more than 2 lacs students are attempting the exam, one correct or wrong answer can create a significant gap of percentile.
The first thing one should do is to begin with is a series of good mock CATs. Choose a mock test series that will give you solid feedback. At the same time if it generates your comparative ranking and provides you with a comprehensive analysis of areas of your strengths and weaknesses, it is all the better, Because that's what is really needed – to find out areas that you are weak in and the areas that you are already okay. Also, the area should be identified as specific topics like Linear Equations, Para jumbles.
Once you know the areas you are comfortable with and the areas that need more attention, prioritize them in the order of their importance – your strengths and also their importance in the CAT.
For each of the areas that need for time and effort to be excelled in, dedicate two days and learns all the nits and grits. Practice in those areas and solve questions. Solving 100 questions of the same type is not required. Instead, solve differently patterned questions of a particular concept to understand applications.
After that, you are sure gain more insight and solve more questions of that specific area. Hit the mock tests again and check your scores.
Repeat the process. Identify areas where you need to improve. Practice, work on your speed and accuracy. Most importantly, keep taking the mock tests regularly. You are definitely going to see improvement. Do not eave any topic completely untouched.
Note that it is really essential at this point that you practice the mock tests in exam like environment. Try to take a live test for straight 3 hours in one go. This would prepare you for concentrating and solving questions in one sitting during taking CAT.
All the best! Remember to prepare for the worst and hope for the best!

And so, Talis tasks the party with eliminating the four cultists and three trolls that had accompanied her onto the castle. Now, I'd like to say our heroes made quick work of these foes, but such is not the case. It took our brilliant adventurers quite some time to use the fire on the trolls required to keep them down.
But, the battle behind them, they escort Talis off the castle so she can return to the hunting lodge. They then set off in the castle for Scornubal where they would resurrect their fallen allies. That night each member takes their watch. Kaelthiros experiments with his golems during his shift. The buggers are apparently rather daft!
Morning comes and Kaelthiros makes known that his coin purse is missing. Odd. That aside, the group continues to explore the untouched regions of the castle. In Rezmir's room Oloril finds some notes with the passwords to the teleportation circles. Additionally, they discover a chest that contains a dark draconic helmet. Mysteriously, this disappears the very instant Kaelthiros reaches in the chest. Another oddity. Murry uses the gem of trueseeing to locate the helmet, but it is nowhere to be found. Of course, Kaelthiros insists that Murry look at him through the gem. And yes, Murry sees the young copper dragon that is Kaelthiros' true form.
After some jestful conversation between the ranger and sorcerer*, the members of the party occupy themselves as they see fit. Finally,as the castle continues to travel, the group decides to explore the one remaining place in the castle they have not yet accessed - the cracked tower. Murry turns Oloril into a gaseous form and the dwarf slips inside . . .
*Kaelthiros is thoroughly convinced that Murry is part genie, and is expecting his three wishes!

Mother, Son Plead Guilty To Selling Illegal Bath Salts
LAKE CHARLES, La. –United States Attorney Stephanie A. Finley announced today that Verna Dean Oliver, 50, and Daniel Jerome Oliver, 27, both of Lake Charles, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Patricia Minaldi, to possession with intent to distribute methylenedioxypyrovalerone and methylone.
According to the evidence presented at the guilty pleas, a package containing methylenedioxypyrovalerone and methylone, also known as bath salts, was intercepted from China on June 8, 2012. It was bound for the Lake Charles home of Verna Oliver and her son, Daniel Oliver. Authorities delivered the package to the home on June 26, 2012. After observing Daniel Oliver sign for the package, they detained Daniel Oliver and Verna Oliver and searched the home. Various quantities of bath salts, scales, and bags were found.
The defendants each face up to 20 years in prison, a $1 million fine, and at least three years of supervised release for possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance. Sentencing is set for June 26, 2014.

Priced Out, a report by the Technical Assistance Collaborative and the Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities highlights the housing cost burden of people with disabilities who solely rely on Supplemental Security Income (SSI). The report found that nationwide people with disabilities need affordable housing options. On average the national monthly income of an individual who is receiving SSI payments was $763 in 2016, while the average rent of a studio/efficiency apartment was about $752, or about 99% of the SSI payments.
In Connecticut, the average one-bedroom apartment rent was 114% higher than the monthly SSI payment, impacting more than 40,631 SSI recipients in the state.
The report summarizes that extremely low-income individuals with disabilities are at risk of being evicted and experiencing homelessness and recommends expanding permanent supportive housing programs and services to help meet the housing needs of people with disabilities who depend on SSI as their primary source of income.

Dear Alex, Mothering Sunday.
Dear Alex,
Chocolates, wilted roses and a cup of tea in bed. I am staying away this weekend, and, the friend I am staying with is going through divorce, so neither of us was relishing the prospect of Mothering Sunday alone, hence my trip. Well in truth it was originally to look after my 18-month-old nephew for the weekend whilst my sister and husband went to Berlin, only she became ill and had to stay put.
The kids spoil me and my friend, and we eat soggy weetabix with strawberries and enjoy tepid tea in bed.
It has been a lovely day, I got to see my sister, and a very dear friend of ours too. My sister took me out for tea with the kids, and I am now back at my friends, kids tucked up in bed and about to pack to drive back down tomorrow.
Tomorrow is another big day. Tomorrow you move again. Back to the Care home you were in before going to the Intensive rehab place. We had a good review meeting, they have been pleased with your efforts, seen small improvements and will take you back again the future- their doors are always open to you were their words.
I see the positives in what they say, although there is obviously my heart crying out, why have you not improved more? much, much more? Why is it so slow and minimal now? Why have I not got you back already?
You have so far to go, and I have to be very careful not to address this too often, it defeats me.
Will I ever be able to get you home?
Tomorrow is a big day.
You move again, move back.
Not home.
They are trying to suggest when I can and a cannot visit, which makes me feel sick that as your wife I cannot just see you when I want, because it's not the best thing for you. I will, however, find a happy medium with me feeling I have made some decisions for you, rather than being told what to do around you.
Because my role as a wife, has been challenged as much as your role of being a husband has been taken away since you had your accident.
I don't want any of this.
I will run through my moments of gratitude before I sleep, try and pour gratitude into the daily void I feel inside the second I open my eyes in the morning, every morning, since I lost you.
Me xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thorn Industries 2JZ LQ9 Coil Pack Conversion Kit
Thorn Industries 2JZ LQ9 Coil Pack Conversion Kit
Product Description
Now offering "Smart Coil" GM coil conversions for the 2JZGTE Non-VVTi engines. This is a major upgrade in spark performance over the stock ignition system.
The stock Toyota coils are getting old, replacements are expensive and usually need to be shipped. LS Smart Coils can usually be found easily in local parts stores. Eliminate potential downtime waiting for expensive Toyota replacement coils to arrive.
This system eliminates the ignitor and replaces the stock coilpacks completely. Installation is plug-and play in the stock location with a Wiring Specialties PRO Main Engine Harness with the Add LS2/LQ9 Coilpack Conversion Harness Option selected.
Please NOTE:
- This conversion setup MUST be used with the Wiring Specialties PRO 2JZGTE Non-VVTi Main Engine Harness with the addition of the Wiring Specialties LSx Smart Coil Conversion 2JZGTE Coilpack Harness option. It WILL NOT WORK with the stock OEM Factory engine & coil pack harnesses.
- If the kit is being installed on a JDM Supra or Aristo, a tachometer adapter such as the Dakota Digital SGI-8 will be required to restore tachometer functionality, as the tach on these cars is driven from a high level output from the (now deleted) ignitor.
- These coils will work with the stock 2JZGTE Non-VVTi ECU, but need an additional IGF box to synthesize the required IGF signal back to the ECU. Please contact us for details.
- Use with an aftermarket ECU is recommended and is 100% plug-n-play.
This Kit Includes:
- Used, Cleaned & Tested LQ9 Heat Sink Smart Coils
- Bracket set with hardware, insulator
- NGK Blue Plug boots with custom contact springs
Coils provided are the AC Delco D585, as found on flex fuel GM trucks. These are the most powerful of the LS coils.

Celebrating a successful cross-border partnership
Nature Conservancy of Canada unveils the recently acquired Big Trout Bay on the northern shores of Lake Superior.
The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) today is celebrating the cross-border partnership that led to the purchase of the last privately owned, undeveloped bay between Duluth, Minnesota, and Thunder Bay, Ontario.
Known as Big Trout Bay, the property is located just minutes from the international border and 45 minutes from Thunder Bay, on the shores of Lake Superior. Its densely forested land is important to several native species, including bald eagle and peregrine falcon, which are assessed as special concern by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC). The 1,018-hectare (2,517-acre) property is composed mostly of coastal boreal forest and includes 21 kilometres of undeveloped shoreline.
The conservation of this spectacular property would not have been possible without the support of many partners, on both sides of the border. This project was generously supported by funding from the Government of Canada through the Natural Areas Conservation Program, and with the generous partnership of the JA Woollam Foundation, the Margaret A. Cargill Foundation, the Bobolink Foundation, the Rogers Foundation, The Nature Conservancy's Wisconsin and Minnesota programs, The Conservation Fund, Green Leaf Advisors and many individual donors in both the United States and Canada.
The Nature Conservancy of Canada is in the process of conducting detailed biological studies of the property to inform its management plan for the site. The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM), Natural Heritage Information Centre (NHIC), Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (OMNRF) and NCC have partnered to conduct an intense scientific bioblitz of the Big Trout Bay property. The bioblitz will bring together as many as 30 scientists and skilled naturalists with taxonomic expertise in a range of animal, plant and fungal groups to systematically survey the property. The information gathered from this study will help NCC better manage and steward this biologically rich natural area for the future, and will help inform where and what kind of trails can be made available to the public at the site.
"This is a massive international undertaking, but when faced with the potential loss of habitat and wildlife on the largest freshwater lake in the world, thinking big is essential. Most importantly, this project gives us hope that the landscapes we love today will be here for others to enjoy tomorrow. It's an extraordinary opportunity to make substantive and tangible progress on our overall goal of protecting Lake Superior's North Shore." James Duncan, Nature Conservancy of Canada Vice-president, Ontario Region.
"Lake Superior's Big Trout Bay, McKellar Point and Pine Point represent the last unsecured Great Lakes wilderness on the continent — truly a global gem. After more than 15 years of work personally on this project, I understand the importance of preserving the natural view that the Voyageurs saw and, equally as important, the ecosystems that have sustained First Nations for generations." Tom Duffus, Midwest Vice-president for The Conservation Fund, which provided bridge financing as well as transactional and fundraising assistance to NCC via its Great Lakes Revolving Fund.
"On behalf of the Hon. Catherine McKenna, Minister of Environment and Climate Change, I want to congratulate the Nature Conservancy of Canada and thank its many Canadian and American partners and donors for helping to make this bi-national initiative possible. The Government of Canada is pleased to support their habitat conservation efforts through the Natural Areas Conservation Program. Working together, we will protect the majestic natural beauty of the North Shore region for generations to come." Don Rusnak, Member of Parliament for Thunder Bay—Rainy River
"The Nature Conservancy is proud to support this bi-national effort to protect the Great Lakes. Protection of the land at Big Trout Bay builds on other Great Lakes conservation successes, including St. Martin Island in Lake Michigan and Clough Island in Lake Superior's St. Louis River Estuary. Working together, we can keep the Great Lakes beautiful, healthy and productive today and for generations to come." Mary Jean Huston, Wisconsin Director, The Nature Conservancy
- With 21 kilometres of pristine coastline, including stretches of open bedrock and cobble beach, the bulk of the Big Trout Bay property is composed of coastal boreal forest.
- Nearly half of Canada's bird species rely on boreal habitat like Big Trout Bay to complete their life cycle, and many of these species migrate throughout the Americas.
- Big Trout Bay's cliff outcrop is also an important breeding area for the peregrine falcon, a COSEWIC-designated species of special concern, and one of the many wide-ranging and migrating species that pass through this greater North Shore landscape.
The Nature Conservancy of Canada is the nation's leading land conservation organization, working to protect our most important natural areas and the species they sustain. Since 1962, NCC and its partners have helped to protect more than 1.1 million hectares (2.8 million acres), coast to coast with more than 74,000 hectares (184,000 acres) in Ontario.
The Government of Canada's Natural Areas Conservation Program (NACP) is a unique public-private partnership led by the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC). To date, $277.5 million has been invested in the NACP by the Government of Canada to secure our natural heritage. Additionally, more than $500 million in matching contributions has been raised by NCC and its partners.

My personal favorite photographic technique is HDR panoramic images. A well done panoramic image can come closest to fully immersing a viewer in the photo. Individual landscape nuances and features in and of themselves are beautiful but creating context by showing each aspect of the landscape in its surroundings to me is what creates stunning, artistic images. And so in order to do so I generally shoot 1 to 3 aspect ratio panoramic images.

Ken Doyle's role as director of marketing for Hog Inc., gives him the opportunity to delve deep into the hog market. Hog Inc., a marketing and purchasing co-op of family farmers based in Greenfield, IL, sells 400,000 hogs a year into a wide range of different markets. They use their combined volume to negotiate for better prices.
But even Doyle throws up his hands in trying to deal with the markets of the last year. "It's a pretty tough gig today," says Doyle. "We feel we don't have a very good idea of where things are headed. A lot of things are very confusing."
In the face of the confusion, Doyle, like many in the industry, is evaluating all of the various alignment opportunities available and is trying to see if any make sense.
"I have aligned myself, long term, with Hog Inc., on the marketing side, so in that sense I'm not truly independent," says Doyle. But for now, he has not committed long term to a packer on a contractual basis. He admits, that may change.
"Long term, one of our strategies is to get into a vertically aligned situation. But, I don't think right now is a wonderful time to do that. I've alwa ys felt it's fairly difficult to negotiate when you're on your knees and that's where I think the production sector is at this juncture." In evaluating contracting with a packer, Doyle says, "We're not in a hurry to go out here and do anything foolish."
Take A Step Back And Wait Producers may be best advised to take a step back and wait in looking at long-term marketing decisions, says Doyle. "My personal philosophy is when you're in a situation of severe economic stress, which I think is where you can put the producer side, by and large, it's very difficult to make sound, long-term business decisions."
There's no question in Doyle's mind who will come out with the upper hand in producer-packer negotiations in today's economic climate.
"If you're a packer, you're in a position of having economic strength," says Doyle. "You're dealing with a weak supplier side or opponent side and you are writing the rules. I can guarantee you how I'd write the rules if I was on their side. I don't think a lot of people are thinking clearly enough to really look at that.
"We are not jumping up and down to get anything done," says Doyle. He thinks there are better times ahead for considering alignments. "We feel there is going to be a contraction in numbers in this industry. Yes, we have concerns about slaughter capacity and aged facilities and all those things, absolutely. But this economic stress is going to create some changes on the supply side. We think this will give us a window of opportunity on the marketing side. It may not be a big window but it may be a window large enough that at that point in time we're much more interested in negotiating with packers."
The "don't negotiate from your knees" philosophy crosses over to some degree when considering hedging opportunities in the futures market.
Don't Miss Windfall Gains University of Missouri agricultural economist, Glenn Grimes, says use caution in looking at pricing opportunities in the futures market.
"The risks are high that you will miss some windfall gains at this stage of the cycle," says Grimes.
" When we are at the point of starting to reduce numbers, the futures market understates how much the cash increases," he explains.
Looking at history, Grimes says, confirms that only a few producers use the futures market in times like the fall of '97 when the market started to slide. But, a number of producers turn to the futures approaching times like June '99, after the market starts turning up.
Grimes points out that in recent hog cycles, reduction in hog slaughter is yielding a bigger price jump than in the past.
For example, Grimes says look at the numbers for the three productivity cycles between 1974 and 1986, where the average production decline in the big year of reduction for each cycle was 10.6% and the average deflated price increase was 19.7%.
For the last three production cycles ending in 1996, the average decline in production was 2.7% for the big year of reduction in each cycle and the average price increase was 15.8% in deflated prices, notes Grimes.
If the price flexibility of the last three production cycles holds for the current cycle, hog prices in the year 2000 are likely to be higher than most people forecast if production is down as much as now seems likely, says Grimes.

John Vanderslice
John Vanderslice has been around long enough to know that you aren't doing anything worthwhile if you aren't doing it your way. That's why he can release both a new record and a David Bowie-centered project in the same year, start his own label and just cut out all the details associated with the typical rock star life because they just don't interest him.
If anything, Vanderslice is the anti-rock star. He's worked hard to carve out his corner of the industry, and his latest album, Dagger Beach, shows the beauty from eschewing such convention. Here's an inside look at an important yet atypical artist, one we admire and appreciate.
Stereo Subversion: Dagger Beach is really warm and inviting, and yet it has these left-of-center moments. And then I read a quote from you that described the album as 'weird and wonderful.' Can you tell us more about what you mean by that?
John Vanderslice: I'm a songwriter of a fairly conservative and well-trodden lot, and there's nothing wrong with that, but I grew up being obsessed with Pink Floyd and Bob Dylan and a lot of the bands that a lot of other people are obsessed with and there's nothing wrong with that either. [Both laugh] But essentially, a good singer-songwriter sitting down with a guitar, you're firmly in a history of a knowable performance and lyrical narrative.
For me, the thing I really try to do with my albums is to take a song that makes sense structurally on a guitar, and lyrically make sure it's something that's interesting and compelling. The heaviest lifting I probably do is on melody lines; that's the thing I probably change the most when I'm writing the lyrics.
You owe it to the listener. There has to be newness, and there has to be an unfamiliarity. There has to be new territory in there somewhere.
So the challenge for me is how to take this song and make it very abstract and surreal and sonically surprising, while having it retain its basic structure so that somewhere inside the song it completely makes sense. That involves a lot of trial and error.
SSv: Any examples?
John: A lot of the songs—like, for instance, the second song on the record, "Harlequin Press"—that's a very irrational presentation of a very simple song. It's really like a seven-verse song without a chorus, and there are only two melody lines in the song. So you're dealing with, in some ways, very restricted material, and the song itself makes no sense.
If you were to chart it out, count measures, count the time signatures and key changes and also try to make sense of that middle figure—which is completely irrational that it would essentially go into an anti-drum solo with a clarinet and flute [both laugh]—I mean, that's the stuff that is thrilling to me.
That, to me, is what is weird and wonderful. It pushes against everything that a songwriter would want to do to a song. All of those changes were very involuntary. Basically, I wrote a very simple song, I had my drummer go into a room and play a completely disconnected drum beat to the tempo that I wanted, and I fit the song on top of his drum beat, and it took me about four months to do it.
SSv: What is it that makes you want to take these sort of dissonant things and link them together? Is it about staying interested or appreciating a challenge?
John: Probably. I mean I think that's there, but I also think you owe it to the listener. There has to be newness, and there has to be an unfamiliarity. There has to be new territory in there somewhere. Lyrically, I feel like that's there. I can make weird stories. The whole point of "Harlequin Press" is that a girl tries to sell a romance novel and then decides that instead of just adding more sexual content, which is what the editor wants her to do, she makes it horrific. [Laughs]
I like narratives like that, but the music has to mirror that. There's nothing more thrilling than something irrational working out, musically. For me, that's thrilling. I'm addicted to it.
But also, as a listener, I'm completely enthralled when someone like the Animal Collective does it, or there are some moments on the new Atoms for Peace record where I'm like, 'Man, I don't know what the fuck they're doing.' I'm not really hung up on genre or anything, but there's a point where you hear something that's so firmly placed, and I need something weird, that's off the reservation, or it just doesn't seem valid.
You think of David Rawlings or Gillian Welch and that's very extreme, very unusual. You have live analog performances in 2013, you know, with a couple that's sitting in front of a microphone like it's 1940. So it's not just going forward, you know what I mean? It's not just being futuristic that interests me, but I do like making futuristic music that's all analog-based.
SSv: Let's talk about both projects through a bigger lens. It seems like a lot to bite off to have such a robust vision for the year. Were there any concerns about that heading into the projects?
John: I'm not saying no because it looks pretty mapped out, but the David Bowie thing was accidental. I was asked to do a local show in a theater. My friend bought a movie theater and he asked me to do this Folk Yeah Presents show where I pick a movie and play a record that has a San Francisco theme. I started thinking about it and I was like, 'Man, I don't want to do that. I don't want to do Vertigo and then play some, like, hippie record.' So I emailed him back and asked him if I could just do anything and he said I could, so I said, 'I'm gonna do Scary Monsters and Kaufman's Synecdoche, New York.'
I started thinking about it, and I went hiking once and I got really high and was listening to Scary Monsters, and I was like, 'No, this is not the record to do.' So I thought about it again and decided to do Bowie's Diamond Dogs and Science of Sleep, and they both felt very connected to me. They had this similar future/past problem.
So we paired them up and my band and I learned Diamond Dogs, which was really difficult to do. It took us maybe ten rehearsals, and then we did one stupid show. [Both laugh] It was like 100 people there and I was pissed because it was so much work. It was an awesome show and the people were great, but that was it; it was just a one-off. We didn't record it, it was just gone into the ether and I just thought, 'I've got to record this.'
It was so much fun and so different than the album, and my bandmates don't know David Bowie, nor did they care at all about David Bowie, so I thought that was even more interesting. They never heard that album. They knew "Rebel, Rebel" and that's it. So basically I just decided, "I'm going to put out a record, maybe I should be on my own label. I don't want to be on a label anymore." All of this stuff was kind of accidental.
So I thought, 'Okay, I'll be on my own label and put out my record, so maybe I should put out a companion something because I'm probably going to have to do a pre-order,' so then I started thinking about recording the Diamond Dogs stuff. We booked five days in the studio and so then it was like the die was cast.
So then as we got closer to the album, I realized I have a lot of money problems. I've had to borrow a lot of money and I'm constantly buying audio equipment. I don't really care about money. I don't have any control over my bank accounts, because if I did then I would just buy stuff. I'm really irrational with money. I want to buy a 1904 Steinway, and everyone in my life is trying to prevent me from doing that. My accountant, who's my ex-girlfriend, really shields me from terrible decisions. [Both laugh]
So then I realized that I couldn't put out an album on my own because of my finances. There was just no way I was going to be able to come up with $30,000 to print the album, so that's when the Kickstarter stuff came in.
So all of this stuff, it's not accidental, but it was very casual. It was like, "Hmm, maybe I should talk to someone about Kickstarter," and then I thought, 'Wow, that might actually be smart.' And then we were just going to do a free download of Diamond Dogs but then we said, 'Fuck, this album sounds good. Let's print it on two-hundred-gram vinyl.' And then before long your whole year gets crazy busy and you put out two records and you're running a real label.
SSv: So this whole thing felt very organic from start to finish?
John: Yeah. I knew it would be very smart for me to pair up the new album with something. I have this really cool record of demos I haven't released yet, so my first thought was "I'll do White Wilderness demos." And then my friend was like, "Fuck that, man. That's old hat. Do something new." So I thought, "I'll just do this Diamond Dogs download," and it wasn't until we recorded it and spent so much time getting inside it…we rehearsed so much. The whole record, top to bottom, is killer.
SSv: Is this going to be difficult for you, promotion-wise? Is one album going to get shortchanged? How does releasing two albums in a year affect your rhythm?
John: I guess it kind of works out because Dagger Beach was the exhausting record that took nine months to record, and Diamond Dogs, because we were working from a template, was so much easier to deal with and make. And also the art work and everything around Dagger Beach is way more intense. It's a four-color deal with inserts and it's just kind of done up, while Diamond Dogs is much simpler. And also, I just feel like I don't even have to pay attention to Diamond Dogs because it's like a lark, you know? I definitely play Bowie covers now because of it but they're often not from Diamond Dogs.
I feel that maybe from a shipping standpoint…we had a lot of pre-orders on the Kickstarter and I'm kind of a lone wolf. I have really good friends, but I'm kind of just doing stuff on my own. I mean a couple friends have offered to help me ship, and my girlfriend won't be here at that time—she would be fucking awesome to have help with this stuff—but I think that that's when it's going to get intense, when I'm actually running the mail order department of all this stuff.
SSv: But you had to be so pleased with the response.
John: It was way beyond what I expected.
SSv: What do you learn about your fanbase as a result of such an outpouring of support like this?
John: The thing that I think is interesting is that you can make a fan and that there is a longevity that feels pretty rewarding. If you're in a band and you get a fan, you bled for that fan. People will email me and say, 'I saw you at Grog Shop in 2003 and then again in 2009,' and then you think, 'Man that show in 2003 was terrible. That was a really hard part of the tour.' Then you think, 'Shit, in 2009 I was actually sick on that part of the tour,' or 'that was at the end of 40 shows in a row.'
So it kind of reminds you how difficult it is to do this door-to-door selling stuff, you know? And there are just flashes of, 'Wow, I was physically in this place that many times?' Like I've probably played at least 9 or 10 shows in St. Louis, and that's a town you don't hit every tour.
So there is a reminder, but it's a pretty amazing thing when someone says to you, 'I've been following you since this time and bought all these records and I want to buy these other ones I don't have yet and want to pre-order the new ones.' It feels like no matter many busted experiences you've had on tour, it may just be your brain's chemistry just tricking you into surviving a little bit longer, but it feels really, really worthwhile.
It feels pretty amazing, and so I don't have a real conflicted feeling about creativity or touring. I'm definitely touring less now because I made a decision that it's much better for me to be at the studio every day, and it's better for the engineers and I just don't like being in bars. It's just not who I am. I like gardening. I like working on cabinetry. I'm a weird person. I like watching Turner Classic Movies and walking in the park. [Laughs]
Torture for me would be being at a rock club. It would be utter, complete torture. I would rather be washing dishes in the back of the rock club. And that's honest. I just don't like it and I never really got into it. I don't drink. I mean I love alcohol in theory, but I just don't drink that much. I don't know, I'm just into being with my girlfriend and hanging out with my cats.
There are a lot of artists who despise touring. I mean they hate it so much, you would not believe it. And they're forced to do it, really mostly by a voice in their own head because labels cannot be blamed for pushing bands out on tour. The bands feel like it's a requirement of being part of a band that they have to spend six months out of the year touring, probably doing permanent damage to their hearing, possibly undermining their relationship with their significant others and their friends consistently—which I used to do, and I don't want to do that anymore.
SSv: Do you feel like the anti-rock star?
John: I do because if I ever feel any sort of hierarchical excitement from anyone at the studio, like if someone gets excited because someone has a cultural position they want to be around or eventually get, that makes me feel sad for them and it makes me feel queasy. I really don't give a fuck about anything like that, man. I just don't get it. Philosophically there's no difference between people, so why would it matter?

Nice one Chris - most welcome lad.

Anyway, we will have to make sure we hook up on the night - I look forward to that.

Likewise Chris - it's good to be able to put a face to a name. Yes, just sorry it was so brief - ditto, I had a look for you a little later and at the end. It was a great gig - such a treat seeing The Mob at the club - and catching up with Andy - especially since I missed him at both those November gigs in Ldn! Apparently Andy and The Mob will be doing it again at the Hebden Trades - so that's another one to look forward to.
Regards to Mandy.
All the best

This is a very laid-back and smooth track ideal as a background sitting behind narrative and commercials. The repetitive piano-based melody lulls your audience into a dreamy state. It has a short bridge in the middle but it doesn't go into any particular climax. The melody, with some melancholic undertones, also uses some 'rubato' phrasing, giving the music a feel of being pulled back.
The calm and peaceful music contained in this track makes it great for adverts and even mellow corporate videos. It's also somewhat melancholic, so it might be ideal if you want a nostalgic feel to your production.
Thank you so much for purchasing and rating!
